1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 1: Ft Live postgame show presented by the brand new Fox 2 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: one app, which is where you might have been watching 3 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:11,800 Speaker 1: the World Series. Well that was fun if you're Canadian. 4 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 1: The Blue Jays take down the Dodgers, and I mean, 5 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:20,279 Speaker 1: you had it all Scotty Brown Aircraft's Todd father, Todd Frazier. 6 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,919 Speaker 1: You're a Blue Jays fan. You've waited for World Series 7 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,160 Speaker 1: moments since nineteen ninety three. There are many that aren't 8 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 1: even alive last time they were in there. They get 9 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: the whole song and dance before this thing starts. They're 10 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,599 Speaker 1: down to nothing. They're the best comeback team in baseball, 11 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 1: and they do just that with an explosive sixth inning. 12 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,199 Speaker 1: They score nine runs and by the end of the 13 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 1: game they're trolling show. Heyo, Tani, that's good that we 14 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: need you. We would not like your services. We can 15 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: win without you, and they did it with the utmost respect. 16 00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: If you want the truth, we don't need you. I meant, 17 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: and that one probably hurts a little. 18 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 2: Bit more than you know, saying a few vulgarities or 19 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 2: anything out there because they put on his spank in there. 20 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 2: Eleven to four and nine run inning. I mean, I 21 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,919 Speaker 2: gotta be honest with you, I did not see that coming. 22 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 2: They chipped away, and I gotta be honest that the 23 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 2: guy that comes on mind is Alejandro Kirk. This guy, 24 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 2: I don't know how many pitches he fouled off, but 25 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 2: he had some really keya bats got the single down 26 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 2: the line, and then the wheels started turning. After that, 27 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 2: it just seemed like everything Blake snelled through, everything was 28 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 2: up in the zone, could not get that called for 29 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 2: a strike, and he threw a lot of pitches and 30 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 2: I think for both sides, the pitch count went up, 31 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 2: and next thing he knew, the Blue Jays were the 32 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 2: first one to pounce on him and make that a huge, 33 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 2: huge inning. 34 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 3: For a team that swings a lot. They didn't put 35 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 3: a lot of balls in play right away. They made 36 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 3: that pitch count come up, go up, Like you said, 37 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 3: but there's no I mean, there's no like I get it. 38 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 3: Alejandro Kirk. You know he drew that walk early in 39 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 3: the game, that that like that drew that first inning out, 40 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 3: which kind of looked like it kind of tired snell 41 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 3: out a little bit, but he kind of bounced back, 42 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 3: and then that sixth inning he got through the fifth 43 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 3: and then that sixth inning, they said, now we've seen enough, 44 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,519 Speaker 3: Like we've seen enough, we're gonna we're gonna kick you 45 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 3: out of the game, and they did, and really it 46 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 3: was bam bam, bam bam. Barger just a pinch hit 47 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 3: grand slam, the first ever pinch hit grand slam put 48 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 3: this game a bed. And that's when the true Canadians 49 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 3: came out, don't you know, And they just said, you know, 50 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 3: it's it's a great time for us to just take 51 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 3: it out on on show Halo Tani because he didn't 52 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 3: come up on that flight that we thought it was 53 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 3: gonna be him, but it wasn't. And now he's just 54 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 3: gonna be down oh one in the first game of 55 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 3: the World Series and this is really nice for us. 56 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: And instead they use that money on Bladdie Junior and 57 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: it's working out for him this postseason. But it's not 58 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 1: just Flatty Junior. I do still feel like many casual 59 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: fans need to get introduced to the rest of the group. 60 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,639 Speaker 1: Barger great example, and they told the story about how 61 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: he got super swoll over COVID and added like seventy 62 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: five pounds of muscle and now he's bam bam, you 63 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,519 Speaker 1: guys mentioned Kirk, who I think is one of the 64 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,679 Speaker 1: most underrated catchers in the sport. He's great defensively, he's 65 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: a pitch framing whiz. I think he's a great game caller. 66 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: And he's a pesky hitter. Yeah, the eight pitch opposite 67 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: fields high off the right field wall knock that was 68 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: only a single. That's double for ninety eight percent of 69 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: the league. Who cares. He knows his body and he 70 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: stays at first. And then Varshow hits the first pitch 71 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: to run over four injer twenty three feet. Dalton Varshow 72 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: is actually making that Diamondbacks Blue Jays trade from years 73 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: back that involved a few others that were successful on 74 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: the Arizona side look pretty decent right now. Bar Show 75 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: is an elite center fielder. He's got great pop. He's 76 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: got three home runs in the postseason. And and my 77 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: personal favorite plodfather is Ernie Clement. Ernie Clement is a 78 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: hits machine now. He was a Gold Club Finals last year. 79 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: He's a good base runner, he's a good baseball player, 80 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: as John Schneider likes to say, good defender. But the 81 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: two regular seasons here that he got pretty normal playing 82 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: time were still a bit under league average in terms 83 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: of ops plus at one hundred he was in the 84 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,799 Speaker 1: mid nineties. I mean, this dude's like hitting five hundred 85 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: in the playoffs with slug He's incredible. And think about it, 86 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: bases loaded, no outs, they get snell out of the game, 87 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: you still got to capitalize. And he's the one that 88 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: sets the tone, gets the knock that's the go ahead, 89 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: and then it starts the doozy in the inning for 90 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: nine runs. 91 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's a guy that when you look on 92 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 2: his baseball card, if you look, if you look who 93 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 2: he is, his size of stature, you're not blown away 94 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 2: by it, you know what I mean. But this guy 95 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 2: is an absolute beast of a baseball player. He fouls 96 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 2: the balls off. He got back to back sliders there, 97 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 2: and he did something with it. The first one he 98 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 2: saw didn't really like. The second one came up with 99 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 2: a big line drive up the middle. He finds a 100 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 2: way with two strikes to put the bat on the 101 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 2: ball stay on it, and I think that's his biggest asset. 102 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 2: He battles the whole time and he's focused on finding 103 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 2: a way to get the barrel to the ball. And 104 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 2: these guys are not going to blow you away with 105 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 2: their big names. They're just going to blow you away 106 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 2: by battling, seeing more pitches, fouling pitches off, and next 107 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 2: thing you know, boom, an easy single to right field, 108 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 2: gets the wheels turning a little bit, a walk, a 109 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 2: hit by pitch, and all of a sudden, here we 110 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 2: go a new pitch and change. It doesn't matter. This 111 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 2: team is clicking on all cylinders. It doesn't matter who 112 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 2: they're playing right now. And you know, you think you savage. 113 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 2: How he did? He didn't, He didn't have his best game, 114 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 2: but guess what, he only gave up two runs out 115 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 2: of the four innings too as well. He'll be just 116 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 2: fine as they move forward. But again, what a performance. 117 00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 2: And they got these guys at the bottom lineup that 118 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 2: are absolutely doing what they're supposed to do, finding a 119 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 2: way to get on pace. 120 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 3: Because we're talking about Ernie Clement fourth round twenty seventeen draft, 121 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 3: Cleveland Indians, Nathan Lucas, seventh round twenty fifteen Draft, Cleveland Indians. 122 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 3: Like they didn't, just like they didn't just buy this team. 123 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 3: Everyone's like, oh, you know, the only way you can 124 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 3: win postseason is by buying team, buying players and getting 125 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 3: all the all the money. It's all about, you know, 126 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 3: we should have equal payroll and everybody should be able 127 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:36,119 Speaker 3: to buy the same players. You know what, dance, dance 128 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 3: with the person you came with. And you know what 129 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 3: these guys are. I think Ernie clement is seven multi 130 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 3: hit games in the postseason now, like they're rolling these 131 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 3: boys out. They're rolling them out and they're putting together 132 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 3: at bats. They're doing what they do and they're not 133 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 3: like man, I wouldonder what my analytics say about how 134 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 3: how my launch angle's going in my swinging speed. You 135 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 3: know what, they're up one zero right now. 136 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: Also, they kept their superstar, Bladdy Junior. And the story 137 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 1: with the Dodgers, Yes, they spend a lot of money, 138 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: but they stole superstars from teams that easily, easily, easily 139 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: could have afforded them. That includes Mookie Betts in Boston, 140 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: that includes Freddie Freeman in Atlanta, among others. So just 141 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: keep that in mind. Laddy Junior stays, it's it's a big, 142 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: big example. What you got another you want to add. 143 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 3: No, just the fact that the Blue Jays they extended 144 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 3: Alejandra Kirk this offseason too, and he had a down 145 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 3: year last year. I'm not saying that money makes players better. 146 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 3: I'm saying there's certain times when you put guys in 147 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 3: situations that they get to play their game because they 148 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 3: have security, because they have the ability to say, Okay, 149 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 3: you know what, I'm kind of an unorthodox player. I'm 150 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 3: gonna hear hate from something from one side. I'm just 151 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 3: gonna do my thing. I'm gonna do my thing for 152 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 3: the team to win. They extended him, and look at 153 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 3: the year that Alejandra Kirk's had. 154 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: That's a great call. So he got the extension late 155 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: spring training, five years, fifty eight million bucks, and that's 156 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: going to take him through his prime years. You've got 157 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: one of the top catchers in the sport for twelve 158 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: million dollars per year. He would have been a free 159 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: agent after next season. Very well done, and your right crats, 160 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: he was coming off and season. That's a good time 161 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: to throw some money at someone and say, hey, you 162 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: don't know what life's going to bring. You have about 163 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: fifty eight million dollars and in baseball terms, that ain't much. 164 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: So credit on that side. I also want to bring 165 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,079 Speaker 1: up a grown Yeah. 166 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 3: Sorry, I also look into the different stuff with al 167 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,839 Speaker 3: Jhundra Kirk. Everyone looks at offense, but the guy was 168 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 3: a goldgloved, gold glove type of player two years ago. 169 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 3: And then I know from talking to guys on the 170 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 3: inside that they were not happy with the way that 171 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 3: he was necessarily receiving the same way as he was 172 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 3: the year before. His blocking was really good. He was 173 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 3: low to the ground and he was able to get 174 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 3: a lot of numbers in different ways. And he said, 175 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 3: you know what, I think my blocking the way I mean, 176 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 3: my receiving the way I was doing it before is good, 177 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 3: but I think I can add to it this way. 178 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 3: And I really think a contract helps a guy like 179 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 3: this say I know what I know because I'm the 180 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,079 Speaker 3: one out there doing it and I'm gonna play my way. 181 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 3: And he's still a young player. People look at him 182 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 3: and they're like, oh, man, you know he's he's he's 183 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 3: a different he's a different body type. There's no way 184 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 3: it's gonna it's gonna play and translate to the big 185 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 3: leagues like he's done it the whole time and he's 186 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 3: now able to do it his way without saying ooh, 187 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 3: you gotta change, you gotta change because you got to 188 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,559 Speaker 3: hit for more slug you gotta you gotta receive differently 189 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 3: because you know he's doing it his way. And I 190 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 3: think a lot of the contract really helps because there's 191 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 3: numbers that back that up. 192 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 1: It's a good call. Hey, we're getting some nice wallpaper 193 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: during this show. We'll still go in for a minute 194 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,839 Speaker 1: here thanks to MLB Perfect Inning twenty five. If you're 195 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: all amped up from watching the First World Series game 196 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: bottom right corner of your screen, QR code free game, 197 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: download it, go for it, have a good time with it. 198 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: I want to bring up Bo Boshett Todd Father. Bo 199 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 1: is back. Here's a comment from Harman. But Bashett looked 200 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,119 Speaker 1: like a hell of a lot better than I expected. 201 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: I liked that they played him but then swapped him 202 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: out for IKF. That should be the play going forward. 203 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 1: So when we left our show this afternoon, Todd Father, 204 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,839 Speaker 1: we didn't know where bo would play, and then they go, uh, 205 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: second base, first time since twenty nineteen, where he played 206 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: like one game in the miners he played I think 207 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen got a little more time there. But he's 208 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: never played second base in the major leagues and he 209 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: was off since the sixth of September to try and 210 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: recover from a knee injury. And here he is back, 211 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: one for two with a walk and a play at 212 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: second base that makes other teams go, you know what, 213 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: when this guy hits free agency, we could sign him 214 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: to play second base too. 215 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 3: Yeah. 216 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 2: I mean listen, everybody's talking about, well, this might hurt 217 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 2: him a little bit free agency. 218 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 3: Whatever. 219 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 2: He's a team guy, as we know that, he's not 220 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 2: afraid to play any positions. He looked comfortable at the plate, 221 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 2: you know, three to zero count swinging. I thought that 222 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 2: was really fantastic. I'm sitting here with my buddy Dave 223 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 2: and I'm like, listen, is he swinging three to oh 224 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 2: here or what? And I said, let's go, And all 225 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 2: of a sudden, he gets a number to right field. 226 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 2: That must have felt pretty darn good. Made a huge 227 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 2: play in the hole there, nice throat a first base Again, 228 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 2: You're not going to see him run really hard. But 229 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 2: guess what, this is what we talked about earlier. He's 230 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 2: the guy. He's a beast. He's an absolute stud of 231 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 2: a player. He's a top thirty player that you need 232 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 2: to see on that field. And if he's on that field, 233 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 2: good things are gonna happen, and I think this only 234 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,199 Speaker 2: boosts them. We'll see how he feels tomorrow because back 235 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 2: to back games he hasn't played either. But again, when 236 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 2: you're up that big, you can make that change. I 237 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 2: k have better be ready just in case they need 238 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 2: to put him in a little earlier. But again, huge 239 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 2: part for Toronto's success just getting him on the field. 240 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not running well, but he looks comfortable at 241 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 1: the plate, and they said the knees still bothering him 242 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 1: for sure. You can tell when he's moving around. Right 243 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: when he was doubled up, he wasn't moving that well 244 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: over to first compared to what you usually see from him. 245 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,079 Speaker 1: But at the plate solid and that's really tough. I mean, 246 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: I have no idea about this, but you can tell me, 247 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: especially you, Right, you don't play for days, then you 248 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: just pop up. How about bo don't play for six 249 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: weeks and then pop up against Blake Snell in World 250 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: Series Game one. Also, you're going to play a new position. 251 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 3: The position part is what I was impressed with. He 252 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 3: didn't try to make too crazy of a play. I 253 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 3: think it was Taoscar. You know it wasn't going to 254 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,559 Speaker 3: be a double play, but he still made the turn 255 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 3: and he just that turn looked effortless. It looked fluid, 256 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 3: which I love to see. He's seemed comfortable around the bag, 257 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 3: which is good. You're not going to see him be 258 00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 3: down any hustle doubles, and that's fine. I do want 259 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 3: to see his continued approach of you know what, they're 260 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 3: gonna give me that ginormous three to four hole between 261 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 3: the first basement and the second baseman, I'm gonna go 262 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 3: that way. I think the number three to zero. I 263 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 3: think it was a change up, kind of cute off 264 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 3: the end. So I'm like, eh, okay, but if you're 265 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 3: getting this kind of production out of them, sorry, there's 266 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 3: nobody else on the lineup. There's nobody else that's not 267 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 3: on the roster that's gonna give you the same thing. 268 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 3: And they have a goal glove winner or a goal 269 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 3: glove finalist at multiple positions in IKF who can come 270 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 3: in in those situations. So good for the Jays for 271 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 3: having them out there and not being afraid, like, you know, 272 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 3: we'll ease him in off the bench. Look sucking up 273 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,199 Speaker 3: through Game two. If he's hurting, the knee swells up 274 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 3: play Game two, you get off after that on Sunday 275 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 3: because MLB is afraid of the NFL, and then you 276 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 3: play games games three and five. If it's really swelled 277 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 3: up to me, this has added such a boost for 278 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 3: this lineup. 279 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: I want to talk about Dodgers pitching with both of you, 280 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: but first a quick reminder to everyone watching right now. 281 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: We love the chat, we love all the people watching us. 282 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 1: For the post game. We're going to do this after 283 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: every World Series game, we'll have me and some FT 284 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: members breaking down what we're seeing. Please subscribe to the 285 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: channel if you don't already. If you just found us cool, 286 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: just hit a button. That's all we're asking you to do, 287 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: and maybe give us a thumbs up to as we're 288 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: chat and let. 289 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 3: Us know what you like. 290 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 1: Okay, Todd Father. They were able to figure out Blake 291 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: Snell enough to not let him go eight innings. Mission accomplished, 292 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: and then they get to the bullpen. There's one weakness 293 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 1: that stands out over everything else with the Dodgers, and 294 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: that's been obvious since the first game they played, the 295 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: wild Card game against the Reds. Their bullpen is a problem. 296 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: And guess what happened Their bullpen was a problem. 297 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, got exploited in a little bed. And as you saw, 298 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 2: four innings is not going to do it. I don't 299 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 2: care who's starting anymore. It's just not how this playoff 300 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 2: is rolling. It's not how this World Series is going. 301 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 2: You need your starters to go five plus, if not 302 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 2: six plus. And again, I honestly, I'm not making an 303 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 2: excuse for Blake SNeW, but I think a little bit 304 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 2: extra time I might have changed, you know, not only 305 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 2: the way he pitches, but his mindset and going into it. 306 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 2: Baseball players I don't know about Ucratzy, but you know 307 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 2: most of them at least, they want to keep going. 308 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 2: They want to play, they want to play, and we've 309 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 2: had those conversations before. But a week off or whatever 310 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 2: the time was is a pretty long time. And you 311 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 2: could tell his fastball stayed up. His breaking stuff either 312 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 2: got fouled off or got hit pretty hard. So just 313 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 2: couldn't find that fastball. And I thought once, you know, 314 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 2: if he finds that fastball up in his own or 315 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 2: inner half, which he's really good at, he's really good 316 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 2: at throwing. But it just didn't seem like he had it. 317 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 2: I mean, even the first inning he got the first 318 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 2: two outs. The next thing you know, he's twenty eight 319 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 2: pitches in the first inning and just got away with 320 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 2: that pop fly with bases loaded. So it just seemed 321 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 2: like it just wasn't wasn't there day to day, even 322 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 2: though they're up to night, and you felt like something 323 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 2: was gonna happen. 324 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, I think there's a I think there's 325 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 3: a clear there's a clear media bias that you know 326 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 3: what your days off means something. The fact that some 327 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 3: a team that swept going against a team that has 328 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 3: won game seven, has never won a series, there's something 329 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 3: to that storyline. But I'll be honest, if there's a 330 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 3: team that can fight against that storyline, it's Los Angeles 331 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 3: Dodgers because of the fact that, like little things I 332 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 3: tweeted about it during the game. Every time you showed 333 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 3: one of the hitters, whether it's Tay Oscar, whether it's Max, 334 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 3: whether it was Key k talking to the first base coach, 335 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 3: they're talking about like the angle that the slider comes 336 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 3: in on, and you saw Max even say like, Okay, 337 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 3: that slider's like actually backing up more like a left 338 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 3: handed slider, a left handed curveball coming out of a 339 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,199 Speaker 3: right hander's arm. And the reason I say that is 340 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 3: because this team makes adjustments. This team does a good 341 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,880 Speaker 3: job of saying, Okay, I understand why a layoff would 342 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,239 Speaker 3: hurt us, but we're gonna go out and do this. 343 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,119 Speaker 3: We're gonna we have this to draw from. I mean, 344 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,119 Speaker 3: I don't know that there's many postseason experiences that this 345 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 3: Dodgers team hasn't experienced. So when you talk about like 346 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:34,160 Speaker 3: when you talk about like veteran like knowing how things 347 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 3: are gonna go, this team has been battle tested. So 348 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 3: you see them being able to make that adjustment as 349 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 3: the series goes on, even if they had a little 350 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 3: bit of a layoff. 351 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, the adjustment also was Blake Snell was able to 352 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,159 Speaker 1: fool the Blue Jays during the regular season in a 353 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,719 Speaker 1: brilliant outing, and they remembered it. They got eaten up 354 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,119 Speaker 1: by that change up, and it didn't happen again. And 355 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 1: I mean the change up they mentioned at one point 356 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 1: during the broadcast two for twenty two to eleven strikeouts 357 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:09,880 Speaker 1: in the postseason entering that outing, and then they were 358 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:14,120 Speaker 1: at least at five hits if not more, against that changeup. 359 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 1: So it was a total difference there you go. The 360 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: fact that the left he's in struggle with Snell either 361 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 1: is actually terrifying Mikey in the chat. Okay, So I'm 362 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:27,640 Speaker 1: gonna throw a different idea out there for Dave Roberts. 363 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:31,119 Speaker 1: If he feels like he doesn't have enough to trust 364 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: in the bullpen, does he get starters involved? I mean, 365 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:37,440 Speaker 1: you could say that was Sheen, but he's a reliever 366 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 1: now for them. I'm saying, do you see Blake Snell 367 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 1: on his throat day later in this series? Do you 368 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: see Glass now for a bullpen session or two in 369 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 1: between his outings? Just throwing it out there. Does sho 370 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,679 Speaker 1: Hao Tani become a bullpen factor late in games? And 371 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 1: maybe Roki Sasaki comes in a little bit earlier, or 372 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 1: Roki's got to give him two or three Just throwing 373 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 1: that out there based on Game one here, Todd father, 374 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: if I'm LA and a starter doesn't get me through 375 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: six ish, like you mentioned, it's going to be a 376 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 1: very nervous time period to get to the late stages 377 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,439 Speaker 1: of the game. If you're in a close one up, 378 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 1: a run or two or an a TI game. I'm 379 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: just saying that is the challenge now, and Dave Roberts 380 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 1: didn't have to deal with it at all at all. 381 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: In the last rounds, they just breezed by a team 382 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: that they were so much better then. But this might 383 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: be different. 384 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, anything goes Scott, you know that. I think you 385 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 2: take a game by game. Yeah, of course, after this 386 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 2: game and you're going tomorrow, you're thinking about the bullpen 387 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,160 Speaker 2: and oh boy, if I'm Dave Roberts, all right, well 388 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 2: we need some help here. We Needyamamoto to come in 389 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 2: here and get after it and do his job and 390 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 2: give me six seven plus innings and find a way 391 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 2: to win. But if they do lose that game tomorrow, 392 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 2: then no holds bars. Everybody needs to be ready and 393 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,199 Speaker 2: it doesn't matter matter what inning. They need to be 394 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 2: ready to come in. Of course, you know, going down 395 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,680 Speaker 2: to nothing is very big and for Toronto will be huge. 396 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 2: Know they got to play three in LA. But again, 397 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,719 Speaker 2: take it day by day. Understand. You know this happened 398 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 2: before too, but they found ways to win. So is 399 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,880 Speaker 2: this the time where they don't find those ways to win? 400 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 2: We'll see themorrow night. 401 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 3: I don't think you changed. I don't think you changed. 402 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 3: I don't I don't think one game shows you necessarily 403 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 3: that you have to change and go, Okay, Blake Snell, 404 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,880 Speaker 3: You're available. I think I think that's happening. I don't 405 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 3: think in two days Blake Snell's throwing his side going dog. 406 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,160 Speaker 3: I'm not available. I signed one hundred and seventy million 407 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 3: dollar contract. I know it's only one hundred and fifty 408 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 3: two million current present day value, but I'm not available. 409 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 3: Like to me, I think this same status quo is 410 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,399 Speaker 3: going forward. I think you ran into the fact that 411 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 3: they did a great job of pushing Blake Snell out 412 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 3: in the fifth, like he got through five. He was 413 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 3: at I guess he would consider be five plus and 414 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 3: they did a great job. Look, he got a ball 415 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 3: on the ground and it wasn't at somebody. He could 416 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,439 Speaker 3: have been a groundball double play and he could have 417 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 3: gotten through six. There. I don't think you necessarily change 418 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 3: and panic and and pivot, because I already think the 419 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,919 Speaker 3: only guy you have right now that you trust that 420 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 3: is a true bullpen piece, like throughout the year bullpen 421 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 3: piece is Blake Trinon. I don't think. I don't think 422 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 3: you're trusting Emma Sheehan necessarily as oh well, he was 423 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 3: a bullpen piece he started, He started a lot of 424 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 3: games for him. Roki was a starter and he's now 425 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 3: considered a bullpen piece. So I think you're still sticking 426 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 3: with the same pieces. I don't think you're going, hey, show, Hey, 427 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 3: I need you to be ready for the ninth because 428 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 3: we might use Roki in the seventh and the eighth. 429 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 3: I don't think they're at that point yet. If you 430 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:57,120 Speaker 3: see that, I think the Blue Jays have really cracked 431 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 3: the shell that is the Dodger's powerhouse, and it's how 432 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 3: Dave Roberts deploys all of their pitching. 433 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: Was she and the right guy there? I mean easy 434 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: to look back now. And I also, you know, we're 435 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: thinking about Alex Bessi and the FAM. He's not going 436 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 1: to appear in this series. You know, we were talking earlier. 437 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,359 Speaker 1: We didn't know for sure if he was going to 438 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,640 Speaker 1: be on that that Bereatman or Family Medical Emergency List 439 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: or anything like that. The Dodgers said they didn't want 440 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:26,360 Speaker 1: to put him on there because they didn't even want 441 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: to put pressure on him to come back when he 442 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,479 Speaker 1: shouldn't be coming back yet. From what he's dealing with 443 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: off the field, that's super serious. He's a super valuable 444 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 1: piece in the circle of trust in a bullpen that 445 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: is thin. So you're going to have to score early, 446 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 1: like you like, like you say, Todd Father, score early, 447 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:50,120 Speaker 1: and for Game two, ride Yamamoto. Yamamoto's obviously, I mean, 448 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: you're not going to pick up the strikeouts like you 449 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 1: usually do against the Blue Jays. They're the best contact 450 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 1: team in baseball. But he's got a lot of secondary stuff. 451 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: And the thing right now is this team's not chasing 452 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: that much. But you gotta hope that they chase a 453 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: little bit on the secondary stuff because he's got some 454 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 1: of the best in baseball and that at least leads 455 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,679 Speaker 1: to some weak contact right and not as much quality 456 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: of contact from the Blue Jays, and that gives the 457 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 1: Dodgers an edge early on in the game and that 458 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,199 Speaker 1: they can ride Yamamoto and not be nervous where you know, 459 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 1: if it's close and you feel like he's got a 460 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 1: problem in an inning, that's where you put Dave Roberts 461 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,159 Speaker 1: in a tough situation. So we'll see how that looks, 462 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: but that's what we have to look forward to in 463 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: Game two. On the other side, like you mentioned, Trey 464 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 1: Savage did not have his splitter. They talked a lot 465 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 1: about how he hasn't done four days rest starts very 466 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,719 Speaker 1: often this year. I think five out of almost thirty ish, 467 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: if you're including everything from down in a ball all 468 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 1: the way up to the show in the postseason. He 469 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,640 Speaker 1: just didn't have the splitter at no feel for the splitter. 470 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 1: The slider was good, and he battled and got through 471 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,160 Speaker 1: Kevin Gossman's not going to look like Trey Ya Savage did. 472 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,880 Speaker 1: I think there's a pretty good chance that Gosmin's gonna 473 00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 1: have fastball command and he's going to know where he 474 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: splitter is going. So even though you know the Dodgers 475 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 1: are like, hey, we've got another ace going out there, 476 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 1: the Blue Jays have their big man, like this is 477 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: their vettering, big money number one starter. 478 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, and before I go on about that, the Dodgers 479 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 2: had opportunities here in this game too early. They did 480 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 2: have an opportunity and Page struck out with the bases 481 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 2: load and then they couldn't get anything else. You know, 482 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 2: they had another opportunity to get guys in, So don't 483 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,199 Speaker 2: get a twisted the Dodgers can hit. They had an 484 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 2: opportunity to actually blow this game up. A little bit 485 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,120 Speaker 2: earlier in the game, which they didn't. But that's baseball 486 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 2: in a nutshell. Yeah. One thing I'm thinking about with 487 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 2: Gosman is is that him coming in in game seven? 488 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 2: Is that going to mess up how he does as 489 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,159 Speaker 2: a starter? I don't think so It's just something to 490 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,119 Speaker 2: think about, well, because it wasn't the exact thing that 491 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 2: he does day in and day out. Is jah Mamoto 492 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 2: gonna be that nasty pitcher that goes over one hundred 493 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 2: pitches and you know, saves the day for them going 494 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,400 Speaker 2: to LA. So forget about what they throw. I want 495 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 2: to see what they do and how long they throw for. 496 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 2: This could be a battle man, This could be a 497 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 2: two to one game where we see a pitcher's duel, 498 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 2: or it could be just like this, all of a sudden, 499 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 2: big inning and it breaks out two really good pictures. 500 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,639 Speaker 2: This is gonna be a really fun game to watch tomorrow, 501 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 2: and I'm I'm ready to go. I can't wait for 502 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 2: this one too. Let's see what happens, all right. 503 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 3: I mean Game two you already mentioned it, Todd. Game two, 504 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,120 Speaker 3: you got Yamamoto versus Gosman, you got Splitter versus Splitter. 505 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 3: Really like everything is setting up for those splitters. The 506 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 3: difference is Gosman, if you're able to say, okay, I'm 507 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 3: taking a pitch down. Everything down, this is I mean, 508 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,679 Speaker 3: this is an advanced approach. The Blue Jays have the 509 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 3: ability to have an advanced approach, but they also have 510 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 3: the ability to swing at a lot of pitches and 511 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:56,239 Speaker 3: they say, okay, Yamamoto, anything down, we're not swinging. I 512 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,719 Speaker 3: think Gosman has the edge there because the Dodgers are 513 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 3: gonna do that. The difference is Gosman's able to locate 514 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 3: that heater down in a way. He's able to say, 515 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 3: I see you taking each one of my best pitches, 516 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 3: each one of my swing and mispitches the pitch that 517 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 3: I think was the second best chase pitch out of 518 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,400 Speaker 3: the zone in all of Major League Baseball for Gosman. 519 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 3: And he says, okay, I'll just playing out my heater 520 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 3: at the bottom. I'll plan out my heater at the 521 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 3: bottom again for some strike strikeouts, looking for some get 522 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 3: back into count strikes. And I don't know that Yamamoto 523 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 3: has that ability. Yamamoto does what he does by saying, Okay, 524 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,440 Speaker 3: I'm gonna take advantage of teams that are gonna swing 525 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 3: a little bit out of the zone. So which Blue 526 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 3: Jays team is gonna show up the team that says, okay, 527 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 3: we control the zone like we did tonight because will 528 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,919 Speaker 3: little strike zone was exactly that it was little, Or 529 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,439 Speaker 3: are we going to be a team that, Hey, we 530 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:53,919 Speaker 3: try to put the ball in play a lot and 531 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,639 Speaker 3: then Yamamoto's splint comes into play and he's able to 532 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 3: get a lot of quick outs. Game two, I'm even 533 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 3: if the Blue Jays had lost this game, I'm still 534 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,120 Speaker 3: intrigued by Game two because the Blue Jays have their 535 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,919 Speaker 3: ace going. Now, they're up a game and they have 536 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:10,640 Speaker 3: their ace going. 537 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, and they're home for one more too. I mean, 538 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: imagine if they can take another one here and take 539 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 1: a two to zero lead heading over to La putting 540 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 1: some pressure on Hey, they finished with one more win 541 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 1: than the Dodgers, and it really matters regular season matters. 542 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,680 Speaker 1: They get themselves that home game here to start and 543 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 1: the last thing on the serious side, then we'll finish 544 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 1: on a fun note. But if you look at what 545 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 1: the Dodgers were able to accomplish in the last round, 546 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 1: it was incredible. But that just doesn't happen. Two series 547 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 1: in a row. I mean, the Blue Jays first of all, 548 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 1: are clicking their dynamic offense. But also Blake Snell's fastball 549 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,640 Speaker 1: command wasn't as good as this last outing. I mean, 550 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 1: example number one was the bar show homer that was 551 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: middle middle fastball, and he was painting corners. And he's 552 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,679 Speaker 1: actually a guy that doesn't usually give in, like he 553 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 1: will try to avoid that portion of the plate as 554 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,199 Speaker 1: well as anyone. He'd rather walk you sometimes. But it 555 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 1: wasn't the same. So that was a problem for the Dodgers. 556 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 1: And we'll see if the other starters can replicate what 557 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: they put together last time around or not. So we've 558 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,880 Speaker 1: got ourselves a series and let's finish on a fun note. 559 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 1: So I noticed two things every day. Louis Viarland didn't pitch, 560 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:14,880 Speaker 1: which was weird, although they put him in the bullpen 561 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,640 Speaker 1: just to throw around. And we were calling his sin 562 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: games the other day because I'm sure he was huffing 563 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,439 Speaker 1: and puffing during those. I'm kidding, but he always pitches. 564 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: And then Todd Father, you know how the grounds crew is, right. 565 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: I mean, for me, I've been on playoff fields many 566 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 1: many years of my career, back when I was working 567 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 1: for MLB, and they would be quick to tell you 568 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 1: don't step there, don't go there, don't go there, game 569 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: going on. Farrell brought an orchestra of people onto the field. 570 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: They did an incredible job. It was a super cool 571 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 1: pregame show. But I was just thinking about all of 572 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 1: the conversations that I've had with Ground's crew over the years. 573 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 1: How nervous do you think they were when they saw 574 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 1: them stomping and singing and getting after it in the 575 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 1: little pregame party. 576 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 2: I think a little bit. I guess all turf really 577 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 2: helps to a little bit, So I don't I don't know. 578 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 2: That's a really good question. 579 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 3: I would be nervous. Excuse me. 580 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 2: I would definitely be nervous just because of what was 581 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 2: out there, all the heavy equipment everything, and listen, this 582 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 2: is a show. We got to put on a show 583 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 2: for the fans and for the people, and you know, 584 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 2: the field might have to take a hit for it. 585 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 2: So it looked like it didn't hurt it today. Hopefully 586 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 2: there's no bumps and bruises tomorrow. 587 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 1: If I ever, you know, misstep, like one little step 588 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 1: on even dirt whatever, And I've been told before like 589 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: hey watch it I'm just gonna go Farrell, twenty five 590 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 1: year old series.
