19
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: a big night in Major League Baseball at this point,

20
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: you have to think both league championship series can be sweeps.

21
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: You got the Mariners up to zip going home the

22
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 1: Dodgers get a huge Game one victory over the Brewers.

23
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: It's really all on tomorrow. Look, your best pitcher's going

24
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: to Mario Peralta going but wow, right now, all momentum

25
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: going into tomorrow. The Dodgers barely had to use any

26
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: of their bullpen tonight, so yeah, we could wind up

27
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: seeing a couple of sweeps here.

28
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, we got some fireworks in the early game, and

29
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 3: I was getting texts from family friends going, why the

30
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 3: hell is this game on? So we're like double Monday

31
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 3: night football and the Dodgers and the NLCS is the nightcap?

32
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 3: Why not on Tuesday? Like, look, man, we pick up

33
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 3: the torch for you. For a lot of scheduling woes

34
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 3: in all of these sports, I can't explain the silliness.

35
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: Of it, but here we are.

36
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 3: We got the early game in Seattle, right off the jump,

37
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 3: Julio Rodriguez with that three run homer. H the Blue

38
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 3: Jays battled back and we're tied. Great and then h

39
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 3: ten to three finals as they get ready. The team

40
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 3: of the show for a how many years eight nine

41
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 3: times point?

42
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: How many years of John PAULM. Morosi come on this

43
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: show and say the Mariners are gonna win the Al West.

44
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: They're going. I love the Mariners this year. I love

45
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: the marriage, but here they are two wins away from

46
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: the from the world too. Well, he's a man, you know,

47
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: he sticks to it. His loyalty to this team cannot

48
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: be denied.

49
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 3: And and we've we've drunk the kool aid for many

50
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 3: a year obviously, uh, you know, waiting for the things

51
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 3: that were found out about the Astros to finally fell them.

52
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 3: H and it finally and finally does is even though

53
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 3: Springer is a guy on the on the other side

54
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 3: trying to do some damage for the for the Blue.

55
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: Je well, I mean he almost let off on another

56
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: home run today, Joe, like I said, he cheeves.

57
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 3: But when we look at it, you know, for this

58
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 3: Mariners squad, there was a play that really exemplifies it

59
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 3: all right. When we talk about cal Raley and and

60
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 3: the heroics and at the plate undeniable, everybody loves the

61
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 3: big dumper, the guy that was wearing that questionable shirt

62
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 3: behind home plate. Yes, I can't even talk about it

63
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 3: except to go find the picture. It's just weird and

64
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 3: then rolly Homers. But today, you know, talking about what

65
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 3: he does as a catcher and how exemplary he's been

66
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 3: on that side of things and why you could make

67
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 3: the argument, you know, MVP wise he'll lose. But when

68
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 3: we talk about the contribution, he came out of his

69
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 3: crouch on a ball that was hit in front of

70
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 3: the plate, throws a strike to first base and just

71
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 3: collapses right, clearly not feeling right, like catching all these

72
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 3: innings because that's what he's doing, right, He's not been

73
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 3: able to hide a d H every other game or whatever,

74
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 3: like his body has been through the wringer, and like

75
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 3: he threw the ball to first, he gets the out

76
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 3: and just collaps his face first, and then he gets

77
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 3: up and he just looks so uncomfortable getting back in

78
00:03:58,600 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 3: his croud.

79
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: Like that's a guy I could get.

80
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 3: Behind that he is laying it every pitch and battling

81
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 3: through so like he's a guy you could root for,

82
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 3: Like if you didn't know him before this stretch and

83
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 3: the historic home run run that he was on, this

84
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 3: is this is the the extra of all right. I

85
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 3: watched that play, like sign me up for more of him.

86
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: And also I think that the Marriagers saying, okay, so yeah,

87
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 1: we gotta figure he's got to be the DH. Now, okay,

88
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: you gotta figure this. Well, I love to catch up,

89
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,799
Speaker 1: but okay, we got to he's got to be the DH.

90
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: Look before we get to the and the play that

91
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: is just absolutely taking over from this game. Look, it's

92
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 1: pretty simple baseball. Derek Jeter always had the best way

93
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: to break down the baseball playoffs. Always said it very,

94
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 1: very distinctively. He said, send a gift basket. Well, I

95
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: mean that's a good idea, he said. I mean he

96
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 1: should always acknowledge greatness and say thank you. Jeter said,

97
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: cover first base and catch fly balls a center field. No,

98
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: he said, listen, this is how it goes. The best

99
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: teams get in and the hottest team wins it. That's

100
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: how it goes. There, he goes in the whole life

101
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: of all the years, and luckily we were the hottest team.

102
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. Now the flip side is true as well,

103
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: Like you can look at a lot of things and say, Okay,

104
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: here are the Mariners. They're up two games, and then

105
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: over the over the blue Jays when they go home.

106
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: And the one thing for the Blue Jays you can

107
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: say is that, Okay, in no sport does home field

108
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: advantage mean less in a Major League baseball because it

109
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: really is about your next day starting pitcher and being

110
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: able to execute. But overall, what's happened the first two

111
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: games is simply this. Toronto's gotten to bounce from the

112
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 1: last series. Right. They played as well as you could

113
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: possibly imagine against the Yankees. Right, they had a great

114
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: series against them. The first two games had eight runs

115
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: in the first two winnings. Vlad Guerrero Junior was incredible.

116
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 1: They played at an incredibly high level of baseball. Hard

117
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: to keep that up, especially when you're not that great

118
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: a team. Over if the Dodgers had done it, I'd say, okay, great,

119
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 1: I get it. Dodgers are that good, Right, they could

120
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: play at this level all the way through. But you

121
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: want to be able to be able to peak at

122
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 1: the right time. And it's simple. The Blue Jays are

123
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: a really good team, but boy, they're gonna get a

124
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: little bit of a bounce coming off of that series.

125
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: And the Mariners have slowly shown you that we are

126
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,559
Speaker 1: on an upward climb. From the players. It's not always

127
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 1: been great for the marin who's been a little rocky

128
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 1: as they started, but being able to win, they have

129
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 1: the big win coming off of Friday's fifteen inning game.

130
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: They carry it right over. Hey, there was no Game one.

131
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: We're just gonna kind of give away because the champagne

132
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: is still in a rise coming off of that fifteen minute,

133
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 1: fifteen inning win. And okay, we'll get back at it

134
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: for Game two. No, this was we are hitting our

135
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: stride and we are hot at the right time because

136
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: to win these first two games. Okay, that gas tank

137
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: is still at least three quarters fall right now, there

138
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: is no empty We need to recharge. You get back

139
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: at it. You see two different teams going in two

140
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: different directions. The Blue Jays hit a big peak right away.

141
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 1: With the Yankees, they're getting a bounce. The Mariners are

142
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: able to play, to play their way in and now

143
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: now they are playing their best baseball of the season.

144
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: And if I could say anything and say, okay, Mariners win,

145
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: are they gonna get a bounce World Series? But that's

146
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: kind of how it is, you see. I mean, sometimes

147
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: it's quite simple. You see the way a team is

148
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: playing and you get, Okay, they have this going for them.

149
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: This other team has this going for them. But the

150
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: Mariagers clearly are are getting a point where they're playing

151
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: their best baseball and the Blue Jays played it, and

152
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: now they have to find a way really fast to

153
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: get back to it or it's going to be a sweep.

154
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 3: Well, we talked about matchups all the time and the changes.

155
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 3: We'll get to the Dodgers series in a second, but

156
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 3: just in general, you know, they got healthy the second

157
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 3: half of the season. Right we people can bemoan how

158
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 3: much they spend. You know what, get your owner to

159
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 3: spend money, or start the campaign to see if you

160
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 3: can have a coup to have a new owner take

161
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 3: over in your town to spend some money.

162
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: Look, I'm all about the uh.

163
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 3: They need to create a floor to make some of

164
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 3: these teams spend money. But for the for the Dodgers,

165
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 3: a lot of it was about their starting pitching not

166
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 3: being healthy. And look what Blake Snell did in the

167
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 3: regular season. He was only five and four, but he

168
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 3: pitched to a two three five era. Roki Sasaki missed

169
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 3: most of the year and here he was struggled today.

170
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 3: But a big component of what you're doing down the stretch.

171
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 3: Vladimir Garrew to your point last series, he was great,

172
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 3: zero for seven thus far with a walk through two games, right,

173
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 3: and he's not a factor for the Dodgers. We still

174
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 3: waiting for Otani's bat to wake up. But Freddie Freeman

175
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 3: hitting in the fourth spot, Tada, suddenly there he is today, right,

176
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 3: different pitching staff, different matchups, and you roll on through.

177
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 3: All I know is each pitch you're you're living and

178
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 3: dying with d series, right, because you got for Seattle

179
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 3: and Toronto. We're talking about sluggers up and down, and

180
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 3: a mistake is flying. And we saw a lot of

181
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 3: foul balls and on either foul poles, like is it

182
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 3: gonna stay or is it not? I mean we're talking

183
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 3: a game of a foot two feet from Hey, that's

184
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 3: a home run versus a foul ball. Live to see

185
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 3: another pitch, right, So it's it's exciting times and to

186
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 3: have all of this swirling about, and it's the best

187
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 3: in the world for us Man.

188
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, for the Dodgers and the Brewers. Right, the ninth

189
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 1: inning heroics were incredible. We'll get back into them. The

190
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: greatness of Blake Trning. Clearly one play is gaining all

191
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: sorts of attention. I'll tell you what you think. Major

192
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: league players always know everything. No, sometimes you know more

193
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 1: than a major league player does. Dodgers threatening bases, loaded

194
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: one out, Max Munsey at the plate. It's a nothing,

195
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: nothing game. You're thinking, Okay, Dodgers can break it open

196
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: right here, and they nearly do, except chaos absolutely ensued.

197
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: Set up for two and Munsey Skies want to centerfield hit, Well,

198
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: this one's got a chance. Clip well, back.

199
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 2: To the wall. He leaves.

200
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: It's in and out and Chaos on the basis might

201
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: have a play at the plate. The throw not in time.

202
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: Who's out.

203
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:57,359
Speaker 2: It's a forced play at the plate and he is out.

204
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: Uh. And it was that insane. TBS had no idea

205
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: what happened, and none of us did. And honestly, it

206
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: took me a little bit simply because I had seen

207
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: a play just like her. You think about how crazy

208
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: this is. A couple of weeks ago, the Mets lost

209
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: a game to the Nationals on a Saturday, which is

210
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: one of the worst loss of the year, where the

211
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: national center fielder went to get a ball, jumped to

212
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: the wall. It hit in his glove, but he couldn't

213
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: corral it and it went straight up in the air

214
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: and he came landed back down on the ground. Reached

215
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: out and caught it right for an out, and it

216
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: looked like that's what happened here. Because Freedlick goes up,

217
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: the ball hits right in the center of his glove

218
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: and it bounces, but it bounces off the wall. Freelick

219
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: gets it, throws it in right away, and because Taskar

220
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 1: Hernandez doesn't run from third, they force him out at home.

221
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: And because Will Smith, I don't know why, he goes

222
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: back to second base, but he was halfway, but then

223
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 1: he saw it hit off the glove, I'm sure he

224
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: thought it wasn't out, goes back to second. So as

225
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 1: a result, the throat comes in. Tascar Hernandez is out

226
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: at the plate, they throw it, they go down to

227
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: third base, and a double play ends the inning. Right.

228
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: It's an incredibly crazy play, but it comes down to this, right,

229
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: I mean, first time, that's the first double play we've

230
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: seen like that in years and years and years. First

231
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: time we've ever seen that in Major League baseball playoffs

232
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: ever and eight eight six two five double play. But

233
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: the thing that struck me on this seeing it. You

234
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: and I talked about this is that I guarantee you

235
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: Taoscar Hernandez did not know the rule about tagging up,

236
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: which is something you're taught when you're a kid. Hey,

237
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: as soon as the ball hits somebody's glove, you go.

238
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: You don't have to wait for the catch it. When

239
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 1: it hits their glove, you go right because long time ago,

240
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: in the beginning of Major League baseball, it used to

241
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: be where I'm talking with the early nineteen hundreds, you

242
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: would you would the ball would hit outfielder's glove and

243
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: they would just juggle it all the way back to

244
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 1: the infield and then finally catch it and then so

245
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: you couldn't tag up. Isa bananas do now I think

246
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: they do? Remember that's it's a different The Banana's playing

247
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 1: the Mets next week. Yes, if you, but you're rejected automatic.

248
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 1: That's why I like that. That's why I like that.

249
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: But get ejected you where they suit like the man

250
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: with the yellow hat. But I dare kick people out

251
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: from bunty George, But I got George. Do you know

252
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: that rule in Major League baseball? Uh so? Jascarrnandez takes

253
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: a step off the third, goes back and then goes

254
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: back to third when the ball is bouncing around. What

255
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: are you doing? As soon as that ball hits the glove,

256
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: you take off home. That's your job. Your job is

257
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: not to sit fair. As soon as that ball hits

258
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: Freelick's glove, you know I'm scoring. You hit the ball

259
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: is HiT's the deepest part of center field, but you

260
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 1: gotta make sure you score. I can understand Will Smith

261
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: only a tiny bit because maybe he thought the ball

262
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: was caught, but obviously he needs to see wall wall

263
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: comes back. But Hernandez, I mean, this is a play

264
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: you got a score on that man. And I don't

265
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: know if we're gonna get from him post game here,

266
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 1: but I guarantee you he didn't know the rule that

267
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: he thought it was. Oh, I got the guy's gotta

268
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: catch it before he goes home, because that's the only

269
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: thing that makes sense on that play, because you know

270
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: you're told get on that base. As soon as it's

271
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: a glove, you're gone. But yet he's standing around like

272
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't get it, and he's really

273
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: pushing the limits of what people and Dodger fans are

274
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: okay with accepting from taoscar Hernandez, Well, he hits home runs,

275
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 1: but he also can't field, and he can't run the bases,

276
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: but he hits home runs, Like how far do you

277
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: go before it's okay, Toscar Hernandez, we gotta take you

278
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: out of the game. He's really stretching that limit my card,

279
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: Oh for three with a walk tonight.

280
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 3: I really thought he was gonna come up and hit

281
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 3: like a nine hundred foot home run, like smashing lights.

282
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: It's a chaos.

283
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 3: And then he'd run out and he'd go down the

284
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 3: slide like Bernie Brewer, now that I'd like to see.

285
00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: Or do you think he'd screw up going down the

286
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: slide with like fallout halfway down. Ah, a joke, Taoskcar

287
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 1: Hernandez had in mind because he got injured on this

288
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 1: slide a few years ago. Oh did he? Oh well,

289
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: I did not know that. Oh okay, there's a.

290
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 3: Lot of questions and whether he was going to go

291
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 3: down the site. Didn't know the stop. I did not

292
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 3: know that happened.

293
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: It was a completely different thing for this stick on

294
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: ta Oska Hernandez stick Contananda, But did you run a

295
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: risk going down that slide showing the skill and burning quote?

296
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: You run a risk playing right field if your task

297
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: or running the bases if your task all right clearly quote, yeah,

298
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: go ahead, we won shut up? Well that does that?

299
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: Does that does sum it up? That does sum it up?

300
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: I'll tell you, h but I guarantee you you knew

301
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: more about that rule than taoskar Hernandez did. Absolutely, but

302
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: you knew run. We have more on this incredible play,

303
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: plus an NFL story involving the Kansas City Chiefs that

304
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you, and you're gonna say, that's incredible,

305
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: but I think I already knew that with John Davidson

306
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: no no, no, no no, and fran Tarkison No no, no,

307
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: that's and Kathy Lee Crosby. Yeah, yeah, I should love

308
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,480

Speaker 2: He's still moving.

327
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my best

328
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: friend Mike Harmon. Yeah, a crazy story involving the Chiefs

329
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: coming up in a couple of minutes. But the Dodgers

330
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: Brewers play that we talked about a few minutes ago,

331
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: the double play that could have been a Grand Slam. Uh,

332
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: you don't see that that often? Huh Yeah, you don't. Yes,

333
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: huge base running mistake by tasker Hernandez. Who I guarantee

334
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: you didn't know the rule about tagging up a big

335
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: based running mistake by Will Smith. However, I'm about solutions.

336
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: I'm about solving problems right and clearly a play like

337
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: that is a problem because you want to be able

338
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: to have the umpires that can rule stuff right away

339
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: that everybody can see, so it doesn't take you out

340
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: of the play, doesn't take you away from the play.

341
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: And you watch the replay of the ball hit to

342
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: the wall that Freelick hits off his glove then off

343
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: the wall, and you could see freely saying what the

344
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: blank just happened after the play, which is kind of funny.

345
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: Threw it back in. It's like, whatever happens happens. Yeah,

346
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: the Dodgers clearly didn't know. And in the playoffs, you know,

347
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: they have the extra two umpires. You have the left

348
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: field umpire and the right field umpire who are there

349
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: ostensibly for plays down the line, and it works out.

350
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: Now here's the thing. Watch the replay of this from

351
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: field level and you see the ball go back and

352
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: you see the ball you know it hits out of

353
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 1: Freelick club and he comes and he gets it, and

354
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: the umpires are kind of just standing there and none

355
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 1: of them is running to try to to try to

356
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: make the play, obviously because they can't because well, if

357
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: I run to see what's going on, if there's a

358
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 1: play at my base, I can't see it. If there's

359
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: a it's difficult. But The Dodgers clearly didn't know what happened,

360
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: and I don't think any of the any of the

361
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: Brewers did right. Clearly Freelick didn't because he says, what

362
00:17:55,400 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: the blank was that? But luckily, uh, you saw that, Contreraska,

363
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna make a throw to the plate because we

364
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 1: know the runners aren't there, and Contreras knows. He's the

365
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: one guy that knew. I don't need to make a tag.

366
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: I just it's a force play. We were talking about

367
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: last week when the Phillies didn't Hey real, Muto set

368
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: up like that. Everything is awesome, everything is wonderful. But

369
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 1: he was the only one that knew, right. But he's

370
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: also right next to the home plate, umpire, He's got

371
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: time to see that he's standing. It's a disadvantage for

372
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: the team who is running baits and not know, okay,

373
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: what's going on on this right? The Dodgers clearly didn't know,

374
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: and there was no way to get it right away

375
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 1: and say okay, oh live ball, I'm gone and I

376
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: can run. I can do all this because when things

377
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: happen to the Dodgers and the Yankees, we it affects

378
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: change the big teams. It always affects change in the NFL.

379
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: What happens. Things happened to the Cowboys or Brett Farv

380
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 1: when he was playing. We're gonna change the rules in

381
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: overtime because Brett Farv didn't get the football. You're gonna

382
00:18:55,720 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: see in the playoffs a center field umpire. The plays

383
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: are too important. A play like that is really important

384
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: to get right. And you can add a home a

385
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: center field umpire. Yes, it's a little bit weirder because

386
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 1: you're gonna have an umpire in the field, but always

387
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 1: in the well. You know what, we have the second

388
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 1: base umpire. He's in the field to play. Things seem

389
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: to work, okay, things seem to work all right when

390
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: you have when you have a so I think you

391
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: can put a center field umpire in. Who was there

392
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: for those kind of plays? Right? Because for plays at

393
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: the wall, where is it a catch?

394
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 2: Is it not?

395
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: Is it something where the ball hits above a line

396
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: for a home run? Is it below the line? So

397
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: teams aren't rounding the bases going Was it a home run?

398
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 5: Is it not?

399
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: Do I stop? Do I keep running?

400
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 4: Like?

401
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty easy to say, Okay, we can

402
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: push through to have a center field umpire, and he

403
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: has a little bit of feeling it out. I'm sure

404
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 1: they're gonna have a bit. They'll do it during the

405
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: minor leagues in the beginning of the season. Okay, we

406
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: have a centerfield umpire out here, just to see where

407
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 1: the best part for the umpire to line up is.

408
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 1: So you're not getting into the playoffs cold. You're not

409
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 1: gonna do it during the regular season because you don't

410
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: have that during the regular season, but they'll probably do

411
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: I would say little bit of maybe in winter league

412
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: or in spring training or minor league spring training. He said, Okay,

413
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna experiment with this, so when the fall comes,

414
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: we know and they'll be they'll be a classing. This

415
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: is where the umpires tend to stand. This is where

416
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 1: this is a good spot. This is where you go

417
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 1: so you're not involved in the play. When the ball

418
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: is hit, you go this way, you go that, and

419
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: you can figure it out, right, It's it's the infielders

420
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: can get around the second base umpire, then get around

421
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: the first base umpire. When a pop up is it,

422
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: when a fly ball is it? So I'm pretty sure

423
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 1: you can figure that out. But that's a big change

424
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: and that would certainly solve what happened tonight because if

425
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: you have the umpire and center field he is signaling

426
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: safe right away, Tiascar Hernandez runs, Will Smith runs, and

427
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: the play is as it should be, and the defensive

428
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 1: team doesn't have a defensive advantage on the play just

429
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: because nobody knows what's going on. Get the ball all

430
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 1: the way into the plate and you do your job.

431
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what that gets you in. That's a

432
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: big advantage. But just think about if the centerfield umpire

433
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: was their sought signaled it's it's you know it's a

434
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 1: home run, or signaled it's free play, or signal a

435
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: ball is still out. Everybody knows what to do. Yeah,

436
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 1: I mean to just pull it back.

437
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 3: I mean the left field umpire got the call right,

438
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 3: But then it's a matter of everybody communicating properly in

439
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 3: a bang bang kind of situation. Now, I like your

440
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 3: short center field guy, he'd be running around like he's

441
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 3: a soccer referee.

442
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: Get that out away, the ball hit the umpire. What

443
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: do we do now, I mean, we're.

444
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 3: Gonna have those certain ejects if we got an extra

445
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 3: body on the field.

446
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 1: So I mean now, now, it's a matter of problem solving.

447
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: They'll be very active like that. Umpire is gonna have

448
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: to run. He's got it more than any other for

449
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: four speed, because it's gotta be okay. If the ball

450
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: is hit into the gap. I'm following the play, but

451
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: I gotta follow it to the side because the throw

452
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: is gonna come in. What if it comes into second base?

453
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: What if the throw comes back to first base. I

454
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: can't be in the way of that. So that's why

455
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 1: they'll figure it out to get used to another body

456
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: out there. They'll do it during the during the exhibition. Oh,

457
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 1: I thought you were in my left field. They're gonna

458
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: call me off. Get out of your jerk.

459
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 3: I got my clutch of for chaos then for sure,

460
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 3: when you add the extra body, especially when there's not

461
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 3: been that. But we're always trying to solve problems, right

462
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,439
Speaker 3: you could whether you have the robo judges, you've got

463
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 3: the calls from New York, You've got I mean, there's

464
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 3: a million ways we've changed the game.

465
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,880
Speaker 1: You just the next iteration. You can even have him

466
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: if you will. I'd rather have him on the field.

467
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: You can even have him off the field, like sitting

468
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: in a high perch or something. No, but that's hey, yeah,

469
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 1: I'm out and I can and I can see what's

470
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: happening all of a sudden. John mckenroll, Hey that was out,

471
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 1: you jerk.

472
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 2: You know.

473
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: I think we get him on one.

474
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 3: Of those thetronic rail things like you know, like the

475
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 3: going up and down in Gremlins. You're going up and

476
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 3: down the stairs, or or you're at a library and

477
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 3: you've got one of those motorized things, and that's.

478
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: The trapping of them on from the sopranos going up

479
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 1: and down the stairs, just yelling at Tony the entire time.

480
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: They can get any of the Mets. Tom they're not

481
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: doing anything. Oh yeah, you know what if that'll get

482
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: us some wins next year, I'm okay with that. No,

483
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 1: you no, look at extra winds. Yeah, that's okay, that's it.

484
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: That's that's for the Mets. This would have got us

485
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: two and a half four wins. Come on, so telling

486
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: you centerfield on fire, but write it down off season.

487
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: They'll figure it out. Here's your idea and that and

488
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 1: stuff like this doesn't happen again. There you go.

489
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 3: The half win for is extending it to the next

490
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 3: inning because the call gets adjudicated properly, folks, I understand

491
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 3: you don't get happenings.

492
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: The big NFL story with the Chiefs coming up in

493
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 1: ninety seconds. Actually, we're gonna do this first, and then

494
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 1: we will wind up getting to Steve to say, oh, okay,

495
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this story and you're gonna say, wow,

496
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 1: that's amazing. But I kind of knew this already. Oh okay, okay.

497
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: A University of Texas l Paso study UTEP did a

498
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 1: study that showed NFL officiating favors the Kansas City Chiefs. Now,

499
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: when I first saw this, I was like, is this

500
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: an onion stories? And it no, but it's it's legit.

501
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: A lot of different places have it first. Now here's

502
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 1: the thing. Frostburg had this first. Frostburg had this story

503
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: for Again. This is where I'm saying, wow, this is amazing,

504
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 1: but you're gonna say I kind of knew this during

505
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: they went back to twenty fifteen. Okay, okay, research done

506
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: by a team at UTEP, which you know, okay, so

507
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: I want to go to UTEP now you can study

508
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: stuff like that. UTEP two step research done by a

509
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 1: team at University of Texas El Paso presents evidence that

510
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 1: the Chiefs have benefited from slanted officiating from twenty fifteen

511
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: through twenty twenty three, a time that coincided with their

512
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 1: rise as one of the big franchise in the NFL.

513
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: They also find that during the playoffs playoffs, penalties against

514
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: opposing defenses of the Chiefs offense were significantly more likely

515
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: to result in first downs, cover more yardage, and fall

516
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 1: into subjective categories such as roughing the passer or pass interference.

517
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: So we gotta go back to my first statement, Wow,

518
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: this is amazing. Oh but I kind of already knew

519
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 1: this about the Chiefs, but now there's a study that

520
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: shows the Chiefs have gotten preferential official siating for the

521
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 1: better part of a death. My research was good enough.

522
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: It was Frostburg. If you had a doctor, and if

523
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 1: you you were just first research, if you were justin Frostburg, PhD.

524
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: You could have beat them to this. But this is

525
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: a school that did it.

526
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 3: Like they Yeah, but then that gets a lot of questions.

527
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 3: I mean, for Justin it was on a pain threshold,

528
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 3: right versus quantifying it. That was more just a gut

529
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 3: feel that something was amiss, because certainly last night when

530
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 3: we see zero.

531
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: Penalties, Come on, man, yeah, yeah, penalties. Nobody pitches a

532
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 1: perfect game and then in a game they had to

533
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: have and again yoh hey, look at the cheese like

534
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 1: all that stuff, like, oh hey, we're gonna call legal

535
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: motion on that first touchdown for the for the Lions

536
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 1: funded this like because that's a misappropriation of funds. Hang on,

537
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: like wasting time and hang on, it says Mark Davis.

538
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: Is that.

539
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 3: I mean he's got extra money to spend because I mean,

540
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,360
Speaker 3: you saw it happened in Las Vegas with the Aces.

541
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 1: Man it says Sean mcdermotis, but I gotta know, I mean, look,

542
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: I go back all of the roughing, the passer penalties

543
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 1: that Mahomes gets, all of this, but I really I

544
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 1: go back to last year and the first down that

545
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: Josh Allen didn't get on that fourth down push push play.

546
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: The fact that the referee on the Bill's side of

547
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: the field comes in and is marking the ball for

548
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: the first down, but the official on the chief side

549
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 1: comes out over rules him and puts it short of

550
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: the first down, where they WHOA Really, I mean you

551
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 1: can sit here and say the NFL doesn't do things

552
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: the NFL. But I mean, really, I think we've seen

553
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,120
Speaker 1: it with the Chiefs enough to know, wow, you got

554
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: and now it's gone from you. Guys really get the benefit.

555
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: You get the star calls, right, And there's one thing

556
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 1: about complaining about star calls, because that happens in sports, right,

557
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: Jordan will get the star calls as star calls, star calls. Yeah, okay,

558
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 1: that's part of it. But this is just hey man,

559
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: we have all kinds of proof that shows you that

560
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 1: the Chiefs have been getting the call for the past decade. Yeah,

561
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 1: but that's also good.

562
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,360
Speaker 3: There's gonna be an inherent bias in the calculation because

563
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 3: you have to decide was it a questionable roughing the

564
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 3: pastor call versus all right, was it clearly roughing the

565
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 3: passer because we know that there's there's a very gray

566
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,679
Speaker 3: area in that. Like that's if there's anything in professional

567
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 3: sports where the quote superstar call comes into play, it's

568
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 3: that one, right, because I mean, your quarterback don't get it. No,

569
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 3: my quarterback don't get it.

570
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 4: No.

571
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,360
Speaker 1: Saustguard even said a couple of weeks ago, we don't

572
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: get the calls because we're a losing team.

573
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 3: We get called out and you can grab the old

574
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 3: Remember when Bart wanted to test out, he got access

575
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 3: to all of the megaphones and linked them together and

576
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 3: just went testing, and then it broke all sorts of stuff.

577
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 3: I mean, you could grab a bunch of defensive players

578
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:53,439
Speaker 3: and have that same effect. All Right, we're all going

579
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 3: to save this line together and see what kind of

580
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 3: shakes out in the NFL universe.

581
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: Now the one different and I will say so, well,

582
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 1: you think star calls, Yeah, like Brady got him. I'm sure.

583
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 1: According to this study, the effects were absent from the

584
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: Tom Brady era Patriots and other recent Super Bowl contenders.

585
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: Now that all the stuff was on Tom Brady's cell phone. Yeah,

586
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 1: it was like the Patriots had the play data didn't exist,

587
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: is what you're saying. No, the patrist had the plays.

588
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,479
Speaker 1: They didn't need this. We have the plays, like they

589
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: called the NFL's listen, we got the plays of the

590
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: other team, so we don't need officiating calls. It's fine,

591
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 1: except the Austin Safarian Jenkins completing the catch. Just give

592
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 1: us that, because that's that's gonna kill Carl uh. But

593
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 1: absent from the Patriots era, but here it is for

594
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 1: the Chiefs all the calls again, I can't believe this,

595
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: but yeah, I kind of knew this already. That's I

596
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: think that everybody's reaction to this is going to be that. Yeah,

597
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: of course kind of knew that already, all right.

598
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 3: And then he got me thinking about, you know, past

599
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 3: the old l Passo. So I want some salsa.

600
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: The University of Texas El Paso was here to save

601
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: us from the Chiefs of Research. It's to save us

602
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: from the chick.

603
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 3: It is the most important thing that we've gotten out

604
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 3: of there since Tim Hardaway's You Have Two Step and

605
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 3: the RuSHA where he said I got skills.

606
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 1: And Frostburg did this for free. He did it from

607
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: the booth. Yeah, ten years, he's got it. It's taking

608
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: years off his light to amass the data. I love

609
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: this story. I love study. I love this story. It's

610
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: time not to find out what's trending you their sports

611
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 1: from Special Delivery Steve to Seger. You've been on the

612
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: other end of Chiefs or you've been at the University

613
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: of Texas El Paso.

614
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 5: I have been to l Paso, okay, and I have

615
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 5: seen the other end of Chiefs case.

616
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: So you've seen them both what we've seen from the

617
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: it was are.

618
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 5: That study wasn't talking about this year, but it was

619
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 5: a real rarity that a team went from what was it,

620
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 5: thirteen penalties the week before to zero penalties.

621
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: They cleaned it up. They cleaned it up. There was

622
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: a penalty last night.

623
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 5: It was just declined.

624
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: That's one hell of a practice week, though, Steve let me.

625
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 5: Hey, veteran coach, what can you say? We had craziness

626
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 5: in Milwaukee tonight to start the best of seven National

627
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 5: League Championship Series, Dodgers beat the top seeded Brewers two

628
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 5: to one. You mentioned the crazy double play in the

629
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 5: fourth inning. There was a great double play on the

630
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 5: infield the next inning. Those two were turned by goal

631
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 5: glove center fielder Sal Freelik, and then the next inning

632
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 5: goal glove second baseman Bryce Terrang. However, the Brewers were

633
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 5: down one nothing in the sixth after Freddie Freeman's solo

634
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 5: homer in the top of the ninth, the key insurance

635
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 5: run for La on a basis loaded walk to Mookie Betts.

636
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 5: The Brewers scored one in the bottom of the ninth

637
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 5: off Roki Sasaki. He could not close it out to

638
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 5: save to Blake Trinon, he got a strikeout with bases

639
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 5: loaded to end the game. Blake Snell was phenomenal in

640
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 5: getting the win. One hit, allowed eight innings, ten strikeouts,

641
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 5: no walks, one hundred and three pitches thrown. In fact,

642
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 5: he's the first pitcher in the history of postseason to

643
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 5: have a game of at least eight innings and ten

644
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:53,479
Speaker 5: strikeouts and one hits, one hitter less and no walks.

645
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 5: So that means in this postseason so far, twenty one innings,

646
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 5: Blake Snell has allowed six hits, twenty eight strikeouts.

647
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: Something like his last one hundred innings, he's allowed thirteen hits,

648
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: something insane like that.

649
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 5: That is insane, genuinely insane. And he continues to rack

650
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 5: up great postseason starts. He had a couple great at

651
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 5: the end of his Padres career a few years ago.

652
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 5: Game two Tuesday Night in Milwaukee. The Game two starter

653
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 5: for LA will be Yoshinobu Yamamoto against the ace for

654
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 5: the Brewers, Freddie Peralta. LA would be hosting games three, four,

655
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 5: and five. Milwaukee is the one seed because they won

656
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 5: ninety seven games in the regular season. They also went

657
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 5: six to zero against the Dodgers in July. These Dodgers,

658
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 5: despite all the bullpen difficulty of the last month plus,

659
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 5: they have won twenty one of their last twenty seven games.

660
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 5: Seattle is up two games to none in the ALCS

661
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 5: after winning ten to three at top seeded Toronto. The

662
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 5: lost to rookie trey Ya Savage. Nathan Lucas three hits

663
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 5: for the Blue Jays. The rest of his team was

664
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 5: three for twenty eight at the plate, and they were

665
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 5: about as bad at the plate in the opener at

666
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 5: home as well. Toronto had been ten and two at

667
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 5: home over the past month until this series. Top of

668
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 5: the first three run homer for Julio Rodriguez two zero

669
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 5: lead in the series for Seattle, Padres manager Mike Schulter retired,

670
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 5: saying the grind of the season took a toll on him.

671
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 5: In the NFL, the Titans fired coach Brian Callahan. Tennessee

672
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 5: is one to five after last season's three to fourteen record.

673
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 5: Tennessee's only scored about eighty points total so far this season.

674
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 5: The Titans interim coach is Mike McCoy, former San Diego

675
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 5: Chargers head coach. Rams wide receiver Pucin Nakua with a

676
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 5: sprained ankle will likely miss some time. Rams have a

677
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 5: game in London against Jacksonville this coming weekend, and linebacker

678
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 5: Devin Lloyd at the Jaguars will miss that game due

679
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 5: to a calf injury. Lions safety Brian Branch was suspended

680
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 5: one game for his postgame fight last night at Kansas City.

681
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 5: He has appealed. Branch was fined seven different times last season.

682
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 5: The six game suspension of Chiefs wide receiver Rashid Rice

683
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 5: officially ended today. The Bears won in the rain on

684
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 5: a field goal final play at Washing twenty five twenty four.

685

Speaker 5: Jake Moody four for five on field goals as the

686
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 5: regular Bears kicker Cairo Santos was out with a thigh injury.

687
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 5: Washington Well, they did have Jadon Daniels three touchdown passes,

688
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 5: but two turnovers from him as well, including the fumbled

689
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 5: handoff with about three minutes left. Atlanta beat Buffalo twenty

690
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 5: four fourteen. Bijon Robinson on nineteen carries, had one hundred

691
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 5: and seventy yards in a score and also six receptions

692
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 5: for sixty eight yards. The Falcons come in with the

693
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 5: number one ranked defense in the league. They face a

694
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 5: Buffalo team that was averaging about thirty points a game

695
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 5: and they hold him to fourteen. In fact, Buffalo, after

696
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 5: the opening drive touchdown, they only had about two hundred

697
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 5: twenty yards on the next ten drives total tonight. As

698
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,880

00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: victory Monday, man Eh, Well, not for Brian Callahan. He

714
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 1: had a good run. The Titans head coach becomes the

715
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: first casualty of the twenty twenty five NFL season, the

716
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: Titans parting ways with him the year and a third

717
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: into his tenure. So now Tommy takes over, right, that's right,

718
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 1: and the Callahan autoparts is gonna sponsor the patch on

719
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 1: the uniform now with a little coat. They're all going

720
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: to be doing the dance to doing maniac with the

721
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: at the gas station. So he gets fired and Mike

722
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 1: McCoy charge, your legend takes over. Congratulations Rosbery, But really

723
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 1: this is not like that. It's the Titans that replaced

724
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: their coach. This is really about cam Ward, okay, because

725
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: you want a hot take. Cam Ward is in a

726
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 1: one and done kind of season with the Titans. The

727
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,280
Speaker 1: Titans are insane, right, four new head coaches and general

728
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: managers in the last two and a half years. Like

729
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: they don't do things that are the way, things that

730
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: are logical, that they panic, they're not patient at all

731
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 1: the way the Titan look. We had Jason lockin for

732
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: on earlier in the show and he says, listen, this

733
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 1: this is an ownership group that the ownership that doesn't

734
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: know that doesn't do things, that does things crazy. And

735
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: if you're cam Ward, you get a little bit of

736
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,879
Speaker 1: a reprieve right now because, Okay, you've not been good

737
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 1: at all, You've not flashed at all. Cam Ward does

738
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: not look like he's any good and usually you get

739
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 1: a little bit a flash by six weeks into the season.

740
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 1: But Callahan gets fired. Okay, but if he doesn't up

741
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: it the rest of the way, if he doesn't show

742
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 1: you something, guess what, he's gonna be one and done.

743
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:13,919
Speaker 1: They're gonna pick really high in the draft. Again, there's

744
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:15,839
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of quarterbacks out there, whether it's

745
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: Mendoza or Look, I like Dante, but I think the

746
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 1: Jets are gonna get him, hopefully. I'm not convinced you

747
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 1: got Carson Beck. You have lots of guys are gonna

748
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:26,800
Speaker 1: go like nuss Meyer. You have the rest of the

749
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 1: college football season that's gonna go through. But if you

750
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: have a quarterback that you know, hey, he's not been good, man,

751
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 1: guess what. Titans don't do things like everybody else does.

752
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: He could absolutely get flipped to another team. They could

753
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: take another guy, because look, your new coach wants to

754
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 1: come in. I want my own guy, and I'm saddled

755
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 1: with cam Ward who showed he wasn't really any good.

756
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: The Titans do things crazy man, this could be a

757
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: one and done year for cam Wood.

758
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 3: Here's the hard part, though, is that you've evaluated talent

759
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:57,240
Speaker 3: terribly reclamation projects, never was late round picks.

760
00:36:58,000 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 1: What do you have around him?

761
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 4: Like?

762
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 3: Pollard's an okay guy, he's that great offensive lines, no

763
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:11,919
Speaker 3: good your wide receiving corps cast offs. So I don't

764
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 3: know how much I put on Camore. Obviously he's not

765
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 3: been great. No, he'd been efficient when they've actually made

766
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 3: the red zone, so he got a little bit something there.

767
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 3: But they they're among the league leaders in drop passes.

768
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 3: Defense hasn't been as good as we thought it would

769
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 3: be coming into the year. Other than that, I was

770
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 3: to play missus Lincoln. But he's got a flash a

771
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 3: little bit. He's got a flash a little bit. And

772
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:37,439
Speaker 3: I know that Callahan's getting a lot of the blame

773
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 3: because well, he didn't really let him go downfield a lot.

774
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 3: But at some point you got to show a little

775
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 3: bit something and he hasn't. And that's the big thing.

776
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: If he had out a couple of big games and

777
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 1: they've lost, Okay, everything is fine, but he said no

778
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: big games. He said no big He's made no place.

779
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,720
Speaker 1: He's been the most anonymous number one overall pick unless

780
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 1: you're an offensive lineman. Even guys like Jake Long got

781
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 1: more run in. Like in NFL history, he's the most

782
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 1: anonymous number one overall pick in the draft. That's about

783
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 1: a quarterback. And usually it doesn't matter where you play

784
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 1: all but Tennessee doesn't matter. We'll find you in Green Bay,

785
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:10,879
Speaker 1: We'll find you in Carolina, We'll find you in Tampa Bay,

786
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: We'll find you on the beat. To be fair, we

787
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: we get buried with a lot of other storylines. But

788
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, but since there were no expectations on

789
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:22,879
Speaker 1: the team, it kind of got sluffed off. Because even

790
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 1: in division, what do we talk about now? Look and

791
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 1: and the and the Colts have a better season. Everything

792
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 1: just took all the oxygen out of the room. You

793
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 1: go back to Aaron Rodgers, is he gonna play? Is

794
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 1: he not gonna play? Does anybody really care? Like, go

795
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 1: on down the line, And then through six weeks of

796
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 1: the season, we've had so many damn injuries like it's

797
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 1: the end of a cable movie with another one starting

798
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 1: where they take the credits, and they run them really fast.

799
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: That's the list of injuries you got right now. We

800
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 1: can't even play them at normal speed because we got

801
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 1: to get to the other movie. So now Callahan goes first,

802
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 1: and again again Campbell dad out the door with him.

803
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:05,399
Speaker 1: So that offensive line is, oh, no, no, we want

804
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,360
Speaker 1: to keep your dad. We just want to get Is

805
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 1: that okay? No, you fired my son him out. The

806
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 1: next guy who should go, quite honestly, is Aaron Glenn.

807
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 1: As much as I love the guy, he thought he

808
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: was building a culture the the the instead it's a

809
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: job as head coach is too much for him. Just

810
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: the fact that the most famous play yesterday was they

811
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 1: don't run a play at the on the last play

812
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: of the second quarter, don't throw a hail Mary Garrett

813
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,760
Speaker 1: Wilson screaming at Aaron Glenn as they leave the field.

814
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 1: They go on and blow a game in which Justin

815
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:39,839
Speaker 1: Fields is terrible. He gets Garrett Wilson hurt, like it's

816
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 1: not working. Yeah, Wilson did the math on it, like

817
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: he knew what the math was on a field goal.

818
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 1: It's it's not it's not working. And not only is

819
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 1: he not instilling a culture, he's showing that it's too

820
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:53,280
Speaker 1: much for me. Being a head coach in the NFL

821
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: is from dancing on the sideline with two minutes left

822
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: in the game against Tampa Bay to not calling that

823
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 1: yet and then being defiant about it after the game, saying,

824
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 1: what are you talking about? I just don't want to run.

825
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 1: That's not an issue. Justin feels is terrible, not an issue.

826
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 1: Asked me better questions than today. It's oh, hey, yeah, no,

827
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: I agree, Justin wasn't good. He needs to be better,

828
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: and yeah, I should have thrown a Hail Mary at

829
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 1: the end of the first half. Being a head coach

830
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,479
Speaker 1: is too much for him. I can see it right away.

831
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: With guys. It's not about losing is one thing, but

832
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 1: showing me that, wow, six games in, you are clearly lost. Like,

833
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 1: I can't see Aaron Glenn making it to the end

834
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 1: of the season. You're Frostburg, You're right, You're absolutely right.

835
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:30,839
Speaker 1: He might.

836
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 3: I mean, I really I can't see him making it

837
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 3: to the end of the season. Yeah, they don't pull

838
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,879
Speaker 3: the trigger at some point. Yeah, it's a terrible, terrible loss.

839
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 3: Thirteen to eleven. That's two seventy two right there.

840
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 1: Jerry Newheisel Jerry Jerry Jerry Scarry is uh the coach?

841
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 1: How's he?

842
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 3: He's not gonna be able to inject anything in the

843
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 3: AD offense. Coming up next big
