Speaker 1: Thanks for having me.

00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I said from across the ocean. We usually say

9
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 2: from across the pond because that's fun to say, but

10
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 2: that's like North America to Europe. Right, we're going to

11

13
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 2: me Triple Crown Baby No jd with us saved him

14
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 2: from an episode here from having to be on live.

15
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 2: The guy's doing like nine shows a week and we

16
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 2: are recording right after the Astros took care of business

17
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 2: here in Game six. It was a great one. You're clapping.

18
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 2: Are you an Astros man or you just appreciate good baseball?

19
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 3: Uh?

20
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: Bit a column, A bit a column.

21
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 2: B Okay, so you're not tired of seeing the Astros

22
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,559
Speaker 2: so much in the postseason, then.

23
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: That's a good question.

24
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 4: Not particularly, I mean they've turned over you know, we

25
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 4: talked about this on the last show. They've turned over

26
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 4: significant portions of their roster, their dominant team.

27
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: They're exciting to watch.

28
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 4: I feel like they're always kind of in control, which

29
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,839
Speaker 4: might be a bit anticlimactic for some fans, but it's

30
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 4: so hard to do that in sports, let alone baseball.

31
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 4: So I'm not in that camp. You know, they got there,

32
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 4: they deserve to be there. And it was an exciting

33
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 4: World Series. I know, Houston one Philly did not make

34
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 4: it easy.

35
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: It was entertaining.

36
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: It was a blast. Yeah, and as you said last time,

37
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 2: I picked a good season to start. No buns here,

38
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 2: just being the season finale, and we'll get to that

39
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 2: a little bit later on. Looking for your comments out there,

40
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 2: what we can do better next year and all that,

41
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 2: but overall, zoom out. How are the playoffs For Joel McMillan.

42
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 4: I really enjoyed this first year of the format. There

43
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 4: was a lot of things that didn't go to script,

44
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 4: which I thought, you know, make it unique. We talked

45
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 4: about that on the show last time. You know, mix

46
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 4: in a bit of chaos. I feel there was more

47
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 4: than enough of that in this year's playoffs.

48
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it.

49
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 4: It will be interesting to see going forward how front

50
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 4: offices and teams manage their roster, like from a roster

51
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 4: construction standpoint, and then like, how do you manage that

52
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,399
Speaker 4: once you get into the playoffs? Are you know, are

53
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 4: you one of those teams that rested? You know, because

54
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 4: Atlanta Atlanta and oh my gosh, I'm joying to blank

55
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 4: was the other the top seed in the NL Atlanta.

56
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,679
Speaker 4: They both got knocked out in the for the Dodgers,

57
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 4: you know, they got knocked out. And then on the

58
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 4: other side of the bracket, you know, Houston and New

59
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 4: York both went through. So it'll be interesting to see

60
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 4: in the future going forward, you know, how teams strategize.

61
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: Well, listen, I haven't really taken baseball seriously in a while,

62
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 2: and this was a great postseason. This was a great

63
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 2: World Series. And I want to take everybody through this

64
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 2: series because it was that good. We'll talk about, you know,

65
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: the big questions, the big plays, potential cheating, tipping pitches.

66
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 2: No with with the Houston Astros cheating. No, there was

67
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 2: a lot of spitting and snot rockets. We'll get to.

68
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 2: I see a lot of the hugs for Dusty Baker,

69
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 2: which is great. So we'll get to Game six and

70
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 2: all that, but let's go through game by game because

71
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 2: there was a lot of good stuff and a lot

72
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 2: of people said Game one was the best game. So

73
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 2: let's just start there. Joel, we were talking during the

74
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 2: preview about how big leads can be overcome. Right, That's

75
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: happened a lot this postseason. The Phillies actually, you know,

76
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 2: did it to the Cardinals early on. And the Astros

77
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 2: in Game one got up five zip on two homers

78
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 2: by Kyle Tucker and back to back innings, two homers

79
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 2: from the same guy in two consecutive innings. You don't

80
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 2: see that very often, no, And the second and third

81
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,679
Speaker 2: it looked like the favorites had this game. It looked

82
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,559
Speaker 2: like as we were talking, and I know we said,

83
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 2: any team can come back in baseball, baseball is not

84
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 2: like that anymore, where you're up four to five six runs.

85
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 2: But did you think it was over, Joel when the

86
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 2: Astros got up five zip?

87
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah I did.

88
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, this is gonna be this is gonna

89
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 4: be a smoke show. And we were, you know, like

90
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 4: we were texting in our group chat, and then you

91
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 4: know that that became a freezing cold take very quick. Yeah,

92
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 4: I thought it was you know, I thought it was

93
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 4: going to be a blowout in Game one for sure.

94
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 2: Although this one was pretty rare under the circumstances. It

95
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 2: was Justin Verlander, who's on the hill for Houston. His

96
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 2: team was one hundred and one and two in games

97
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 2: where he was up five zip and he looks so

98
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 2: damn good early as well. That was a big part

99
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 2: of it as well. He retired the first nine hitters

100
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 2: in order until the fourth when things went a little

101
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 2: bit off the rails. And in the fourth and fifth

102
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 2: the Phillies got to him, scoring five on him. Talking

103
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 2: about Dusty Baker, maybe Dusty left him in a little

104
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 2: too long. Oh yeah, hindsight you can always do that. Yeah,

105
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,239
Speaker 2: Philly tied the game, kept by a rail Muto double

106
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 2: to score two. I bring him up because he'll come

107
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 2: into the picture later. Bottom of the ninth, two out,

108
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 2: still five to five, the Astros had a shot to

109
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 2: win it runner at second for Jeremy Pania, the rook

110
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 2: and he blooped it to right and Nick Castellanos came

111
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 2: in sprinting and made that sliding grab. Yeah, which was huge.

112
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 2: How many times has he done that this postseason.

113
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: Well he did it, and he did in the Atlanta

114
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: series as well.

115
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 4: Right, if I'm not mistaken, Yeah, he's he's uh you

116
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 4: know in credit credit to Castianos and you know, I'm

117
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 4: sure we'll talk about this in a minute.

118
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: I know we were texting before.

119
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 4: Philadelphia not a great defensive team, and that came back

120
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 4: to bite them, although in the context of what we're

121
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 4: talking about here, Yeah, he made a game saving catch

122
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 4: which was kind of out of character for you know,

123
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 4: Philadelphia defensively, very exciting, you know, because if that ball drops,

124
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 4: it's game over, you know, wins that game.

125
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's Bamba ninth and jereedmy Pania, who were

126
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 2: waiting to get the word that he is World Series MVP.

127
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 2: He's gotta bet he's a freaking rookie, the first rookie

128
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 2: position player to win MVP in the World Series. Once

129
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 2: we get it, once it's confirmed, we're still watching here.

130
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 2: But anyways, Uh so that didn't happen. In the top

131
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 2: of the tenth rail Muto leading off for the Phillies,

132
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 2: he hit that opposite field rocket. It looked like just

133
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 2: a liner really, like, yeah.

134
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was going to get out.

135
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 2: Appo Taco. Though, Appo Taco.

136
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, Appo Taco. You never heard appo taco?

137
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 2: Like, I guess I'm not a baseball ban tell me

138
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 2: what appo taco means.

139
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 4: It's just just a slang word for like a whole

140
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 4: opposite field.

141
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 2: It just goes just a dinger, just gets out.

142
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, Appo Taco.

143
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 3: I don't know that.

144
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 4: I don't know the origins of it. I wish I

145
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 4: could tell you more about.

146
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 2: I just know, Hey, man, I'll be saying it Appo

147
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 2: taco for real Muto that that looked like it looked

148
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 2: like it was gonna fall flat, like it was a

149
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 2: fry fry supreme, just gonna lay lay a little fatty

150
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 2: and uh in the right field, maybe off the wall,

151
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 2: but it just kept going and going and going, and uh,

152
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 2: it just got over the glove of Kyle Sucker at

153
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 2: the wall. Solo shot Philly's up six to five. They

154
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 2: hung on, and real Muto became the first player in

155
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 2: history to hit a both sorry hit both a postseason

156
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 2: inside the parker and an extra inning homer. Ever, not

157
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 2: just in the same postseason, but the only guy to

158
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 2: ever hit an inside the parker and an extra inning

159
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 2: homer in the postseason. Ever, is that a cherry pickstat? Yeah?

160
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 2: Maybe who cares? But I mean he did it to

161
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 2: the Brave, a catcher who hid an inside the parker

162
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 2: against the Braves. Pretty wild anyway, Joel, what do you think?

163
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 2: Can you can you go back to Game one? Do

164
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 2: you think this was the best game of the series.

165
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, there were some exciting games it was. It was exciting.

166
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, it went into extra innings, the big

167
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 4: comeback it was. I think personally, I think Game five

168
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 4: was the most exciting.

169
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: There were a fewer runs.

170
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 4: Scored, Yeah, but Game one, you know, wasn't short on entertainment.

171
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 4: I would say game Game five was my favorite game

172
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 4: of the series, followed closely by Game one.

173
00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 2: Sure. Okay, and since we got the Bleacher creatures shipping

174
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 2: in here. According to eat Crab Appo, Taco's origin is

175
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 2: Angel's announcer Victor Rojas maybe just called it that. Maybe

176
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 2: there's a Taco Bell sponsorship. Yeah, I don't know, we don't,

177
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 2: but uh, I'm going with it. I think eat Crab

178
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 2: is is to be believed. Anyway, that Game one was phenomenal,

179
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 2: And just as we were talking hours before about you know,

180
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 2: four or five run leads. Uh and how yeah? Listen,

181
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 2: I I too am used to used to think like, okay,

182
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 2: it's a four or five run lead, this this thing

183
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 2: is probably over. But yeah, we've seen it many times

184
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 2: in this postseason, so that was very cool. I know

185
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 2: you're a big Rob Thompson, manager of the Phillies, a

186
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 2: fan of his. How do you think he managed his

187
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 2: pitchers in this game getting the w He brought an

188
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 2: Alvarado with only one out in the fifth earlier than

189
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 2: he ever and they got it done. So give me

190
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 2: a little give me a little Thompson love.

191
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, he I mean he managed it well. Uh, it's

192
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 4: unfortunate or Philadelphia's bullpen kind of fell apart as the

193
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 4: series went on, But you know, in terms of Game one,

194
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 4: I thought he did a great job.

195
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: And also kudos to both both.

196
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 4: Managers for sticking with both of their starters even though

197
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 4: both of them kind of got I mean, maybe shelled

198
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 4: is a bit harsh, but they weren't good. And I

199
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 4: feel like there's certain teams in the playoffs where if

200
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 4: that starter hadn't done that on a certain team, they

201
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 4: would have been yanked way earlier.

202
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: But they stuck with them.

203
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 4: They I think both guys ended up going five plus

204
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 4: innings if I'm not mistaken, or at least five, So

205
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 4: I think both managers handled it well.

206
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: I think it became a chess game after that.

207
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 4: But no no qualms about how the way Thompson, you know,

208
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 4: ran things in Game one, I thought, I think he

209
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 4: did a masterful job, to be honest.

210
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 2: Now I do say that it is possible for teams

211
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 2: to come back, But after this game, I saw this

212
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 2: stat that teams that fall five runs behind or more

213
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 2: in a World Series Series game now have a record

214
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 2: of six and two hundred and twenty. So it's it's

215
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 2: not very often, but Jason start coming in with that stat. Anyways,

216
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 2: it was a long, ten inning game. It was a

217
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,719
Speaker 2: four and a half hour game. But I'm kind of

218
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 2: I'm going in the other direction like I used to be.

219
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 2: You know, I used to want games to be over

220
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 2: with in a decent amount of time. Four hour baseball game,

221
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 2: let's get over with. But when it comes to like

222
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 2: the World Series, and it comes to this sort of

223
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 2: you know, it's a everyone watching together, it's it's an experience.

224
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 2: I kind of like how it's lows, you know, if

225
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 2: people are watching together because everyone is tired the next day.

226
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 2: If you're in it together, you know, yeah, it's it's fun,

227
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 2: but only for the World Series. Game should still be

228
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 2: for sure, Yeah, you know what I mean. Anyway, moving

229
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 2: on to Game one, because I wanted to see how

230
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 2: the Astros would respond, and they did. They came out

231
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 2: swinging the first pitch of the game. If you remember

232
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 2: against Zatler, Jose Altuve, who loves to swing, he ripped

233
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 2: a double. Next pitch, Jeremy Paine hit a double. Two pitches,

234
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 2: two doubles, and then two pitches later you're done. Alvarez

235
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 2: hit a double himself. So four pitches into the game

236
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 2: they had three doubles. The Stros responded, bank bank bank,

237
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 2: three hitters and they're up to zip. And it all

238
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 2: started with al Tuove, who, as we've talked about, I

239
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 2: think is the face of the Astros cheating scandal. In

240
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 2: my opinion as a casual fan is yeah and uh,

241
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 2: and so it was. It was great to see that,

242
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 2: and it's great to see, you know what, what he

243
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 2: did the rest of the series. And we'll talk about

244
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 2: if this sort of rids that the label of the cheater,

245
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 2: this cheater Moniker that they've gotten. But yeah, yeah, a

246
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 2: lots of love for Altuve, and and it was key

247
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 2: to start that way. As his teammates said, I feel

248
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 2: like that one swing by al Tuove off the bat

249
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 2: to start the game got the crowd into it, got

250
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,199
Speaker 2: our dugout into it, got offense going. So Bregman said that,

251
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 2: So you've got to be happy for Jose Altov as

252
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:25,839
Speaker 2: much as I am, because I think he's got sort

253
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 2: of a bad rap and he seems like a pretty

254
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 2: good dude.

255
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that was huge too, because when you look

256
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 4: back at the numbers Altuve has was bad in this playoffs.

257
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 4: He didn't do much against Seattle, he did almost nothing

258
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 4: against New York. He was he was pretty much a

259
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 4: non factor in both of those series. So, you know,

260
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 4: and that's just a testament to how good Houston is.

261
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 4: Like one of their best offensive players. Basically laid an

262
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 4: egg for two series, and Houston still was seven to

263
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 4: zero once he got going, and he finished strong in

264
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 4: this series. I feel like that, you know, him having

265
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 4: that good first at bat in Game two after they

266
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 4: came off, you know, a tough loss at home when

267
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 4: they were up five nothing. I really feel that helped

268
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 4: give a lot of momentum to Houston in that game.

269
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 1: Right off the bat.

270
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:16,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. And I'm watching Jeremy Pania receive the

271
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 2: MVP award. So congrats to Jimmy Penny, a rook getting

272
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 2: the MVP award. Very very neat.

273
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: Can we task? I don't know.

274
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 4: Maybe the Bleacher creatures could help me out. This is

275
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 4: off the top of my head. I think Pania is

276
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 4: the first player to win both a League Championship Series

277
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 4: MVP and World Series MVP.

278
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: I don't think that's ever been done before.

279
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 4: A rook A rookie won the MVP in both the

280
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 4: League Championship Series and World Series MVP. I don't think

281
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 4: that's been done before. I could be wrong, but yeah,

282
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 4: maybe the Bleacher creatures can help us out there.

283
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see and we'll We'll definitely trust them, Okay,

284
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 2: no matter who it is, no matter what they're using

285
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 2: her name is, we'll trust them, no problem. But so

286
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 2: that was Alvarez scored as well in the first inning

287
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 2: of Game two there to make it three to nothing,

288
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 2: and then Bregman, who's another guy who's been through it all,

289
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 2: hit a two run homer to make it five zip

290
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 2: in the fifth and Zach Wheeler was taking the brunt

291
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 2: of this, and he had been dominant this postseason. But

292
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 2: these are the Strows and they knew he would attack

293
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 2: early in the account, so they came out ready and

294
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 2: they were swinging on the other side from where Valdez

295
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 2: was dealing. He just gave up one run through six

296
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 2: and the third. But there was some chatter online Joel

297
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 2: about Valdez getting a sticky substance from the palm of

298
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 2: his glove hands. He used the clip going around was

299
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 2: he was using the thumb from his pitching hand to

300
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 2: repeatedly like rub the palm of his non pitching sun

301
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 2: and then and then also you know, in addition to it,

302
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 2: he did sort of wipe his hand before the end

303
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,359
Speaker 2: of any on his pants when an umpire always.

304
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: Checks, right, So yeah, they're checking them.

305
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 2: So yeah, anything to that, Joel, Or is that is

306
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 2: that sort of just the tendency of from Rivaldez as

307
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 2: he said, it's just sort of his thing, as he's

308
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 2: just like rubbing his Yeah.

309
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: I think so, and the umps check him.

310
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 4: And if I'm not mistaken, I think Philly had no

311
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 4: issues with it too. I think there were a couple

312
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 4: of comments from players, and I think even the manager

313
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 4: said something. They they didn't take any issue with it,

314
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 4: So I to me, like, it's a non story.

315
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 2: All right. And you know what also helps, I was

316
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 2: listening to from Rivaldez answer questions about this, and he

317
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 2: was answering through an interpreter. HM. That makes it, Uh,

318
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 2: it makes it harder to really like go after a

319
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 2: guy when you when he's answering through an interpreter. He

320
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 2: could just kind of say what you once and then uh,

321
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 2: either way. Yeah, I don't think there is anything to it,

322
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 2: but I had to ask your expert opinion, and and

323
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 2: and these these experts in the chat here real quick.

324
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 2: It's the second rookie with a double playoff MVP Levon

325
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 2: Hern with the Marlins in ninety seven.

326
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: So okay, so I wasn't I wasn't right, Levondre Nandez.

327
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: Yeah remember that name for sure.

328
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess first position player to do it. But

329
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 2: you know, if you want to, if you want to

330
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 2: split hairs, you're worse splitting I'm here, Joel anyway, So

331
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 2: this was This was an interesting end even to a

332
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 2: game too, because the Phillies did not die in this series.

333
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 2: It was a blast top eight. The score was five

334
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 2: to one, and there was a man on first for

335
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 2: the Phills and Kyle Schwarber. He ranked a long home run.

336
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 2: At least that's what it looked like, and that's what

337
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 2: it was called. At first he was round in the bases,

338
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 2: but it was really close to the foul poll reviewed

339
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 2: and it was just foul. And I don't mind baseball reviews.

340
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 2: I gotta say, you know, we got nothing to do.

341
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 2: I don't mind.

342
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 1: Get the call right, yeah, get the call right, yeah.

343
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's dead time. I don't mind seeing a review. Anyways.

344
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 2: Schwarber went back to the plate, hit a deep fly

345
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 2: to write that was caught. I'll tuck her on the track,

346
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 2: right up against the wall. And that was all she

347
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 2: wrote for the Phills. In Game two, the Strows responded,

348
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 2: tied it one. We're going to Philly where the crowd

349
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 2: was electric.

350
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 1: Oh, they were into it.

351
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was pretty good. That was a pretty good

352
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 2: even TV experience. It was booming, and the Phillies bats

353
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 2: came out booming versus Lance mccollor's bottom one, wish Warber

354
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 2: on Bryce Harper Homer's and it felt kind of like

355
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 2: a movie script, right, like Phillies come home. Yeah, Harper

356
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 2: writes the ship immediately after sending him to the World

357
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 2: Series with the Dinger, and I guess that's why fans

358
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 2: were going crazy. I'm sure you were loving that.

359
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: I was, yeah, bry Harper.

360
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were going so crazy that there was a

361
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 2: viral tweet going around that said there was seismic activity

362
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 2: at the time of Harper's homer in Philadelphia. The fans

363
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 2: were stomping so hard cheering for Bryce, they caused an earthquake.

364
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 2: Like I bought it at first, but it was quickly debunked.

365
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to spread misinformation here, but it was

366
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 2: quickly debunked. It wasn't it wasn't low. It was just

367
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,239
Speaker 2: a completely false tweet. But it went viral and there

368
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 2: was news reports on it. Okay, So did you feel

369
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 2: the earthquake in Taiwan? That's my question.

370
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't think so.

371
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 4: No, we didn't. We didn't feel it over here. But

372
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 4: I mean I felt you know, the ender, I mean

373
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 4: you could. I mean you're watching it on TV. But

374
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 4: test you made a great point. It it makes for

375
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 4: great TV. I follow several different obviously, MLB social media accounts,

376
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 4: and they've got these different angles with these you know,

377
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 4: different kinds of cameras, and it's very immersive and you

378
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 4: really kind of even though you're watching it from you know,

379
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 4: TV or your phone or whatever, you you really get

380
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 4: into it when you when you see it. That was

381
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 4: such a cool thing to see and that that set

382
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 4: the tone for Game three.

383
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Yeah, there are great camera angles. You're right the

384
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 2: I'm just like sitting back and they have done such

385
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 2: a good job of keeping the viewer involved in the game,

386
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 2: like so much so from when I used to watch baseball,

387
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 2: like the zip line cameras over top of the crowd.

388
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 2: Is it just like skims over the crowd. Wow, it

389
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 2: does feel like you're there. And it was loud, and

390
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:23,959
Speaker 2: I said it was like a movie. The movie script

391
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 2: continued because Harper holmers and then he goes to the

392
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 2: bench after the home run and he yelled at his

393
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 2: teammate to come on over. The guy who's on the

394
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 2: on deck circle, Hey, you I got something to tell you.

395
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 2: So Alex Boem comes over and Harper whispers something to him.

396
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 2: Bom goes to the plate and he homers just like that.

397
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 2: So Harper tells him something and that helps that helps

398
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 2: him hit a ding dong just like that. And Boom

399
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 2: was interviewed mid game on the broadcast and he was asked,

400
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 2: of course by Ken Rosent, what Harper said to him,

401
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 2: and he said, that's between us. He then was asked

402
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 2: if it helped him in is that bat? He said,

403
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 2: maybe a little chikyu And I mean, you know, we'll

404
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 2: get to the ye tipping in a second. But do

405
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 2: you like the mid game interview? You must rite? Yeah?

406
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 1: I mean I like as a fan, I love it.

407
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 2: Oh you're a purist? Are you a purist? You don't?

408
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 2: You don't want them interrupted?

409
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 4: Well, it's I mean I can only speak as a fan.

410
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 4: I mean I can understand as a player. But I think,

411
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 4: and you said this last time, the players have to

412
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 4: agree to it. It's not like they're being pushed into

413
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 4: doing it by the TV networks or I don't know

414
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 4: who would be making that decision.

415
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: The players agree to it.

416
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 4: But like you said a minute ago, MLB has done

417
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 4: a great job in making it like you're you're much

418
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 4: more a part of it. And if these in game

419
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 4: interviews are part of it, and they're they're they're very short,

420
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 4: they're thirty seconds to a minute I have I have

421
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:00,239
Speaker 4: no issues with it.

422
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: I'm fine with it.

423
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. So a couple hitters later, Brandon Marsh hit a

424
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,199
Speaker 2: bit of a moon ball into the first row, but

425
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 2: it hit off a kid's glove and it went back

426
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 2: onto the field and it was rightly called a homer

427
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 2: right away, but everyone felt bad for the kid. Did

428
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 2: you see this story behind the kid, because I'll explain

429
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 2: it to you. So there's two kids right in the front.

430
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 2: It was a ten and a thirteen year old. Because

431
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 2: the parents of these kids were trying to get four

432
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 2: tickets to the game together, but they couldn't get four

433
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 2: tickets together, so they had to split up seats. So

434
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 2: the parents gave their kids a ten and thirteen year

435
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 2: old the front front row. It was the first row

436
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 2: in the bleachers, and they were like way back in

437
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 2: the section, like the actual back row of the section,

438
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 2: so they couldn't see. But their kid dropped the ball

439
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 2: and it was kind of a harder. There's a news

440
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 2: stories all about it, and Nick Castaos did end up

441
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 2: giving him a ball and I was interviewed and all that. So, yeah,

442
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 2: pretty cool moment at ten and thirteen year old tie

443
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 2: was his name? Who who took home the ball? And

444
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 2: I was thinking, if you're at a World Series game,

445
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 2: is the ball like any ball? I guess I mean, obviously,

446
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 2: if it's like a monumental home run or something, that's

447
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 2: the best thing you could take home, But like the

448
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 2: ball itself, is that what you'd want to take home?

449
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 2: Is there something better?

450
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 1: Tas That's a tough.

451
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 4: Question because you know, like you've been to You've been

452
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 4: to a lot of live baseball games. I think it's

453
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 4: kind of an unwritten rule you if you catch a ball,

454
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 4: you you give it to a kid.

455
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 1: And I get it, But a World Series ball tasks

456
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 1: I don't know.

457
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 4: I don't want to get the internet angry and I

458
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 4: want to be selfish, but that would be hard for

459
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,919
Speaker 4: me to part with. I think in the end I would,

460
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 4: because you know, now like they would put they would

461
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 4: put you online and all the scorn and vitriol you'd get.

462
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 4: I don't think it would be worth it, but it would.

463
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:00,679
Speaker 4: I mean, it would be a cool moment, you know,

464
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 4: and you would be able to celebrate that forever. But

465
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 4: I would probably give it up to a kid because

466
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 4: I'm old school. That's that's what you do you know,

467
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 4: but it wouldn't it would not be easy like it

468
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 4: would be tough.

469
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 2: No, absolutely, So there were a lot of homers for

470
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:22,199
Speaker 2: kids to take home because yeah, yeah, schwarb bomb then

471
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 2: hit a two run bomb Kyle Schwarber to make it

472
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 2: six nothing, and then he went to Rehys Hoskins hit

473
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 2: one on the heels of that back to back with Schwarber,

474
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 2: so it was seven nothing. In all, five homers for

475
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 2: the Phillies, tying the most in World Series history, and

476
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 2: five of their first six hits were homers, so they

477
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 2: were just you know, they are sort of an all

478
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 2: or nothing team, a lot for much of their power

479
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 2: team for sure. Yeah, and that aside, you could just

480
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 2: you could just say, oh, that's that's what they do.

481
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 2: They hit home runs. But this discussion materialized online. I

482
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 2: wanted to get your opinion that Lance mccullors was tipping

483
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 2: his pitches and so the Phillies were ready for off

484
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 2: speed pitches, because the theory was he was given away

485
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,919
Speaker 2: what was coming because of his wind up, whether it

486
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 2: was fastball or off speed. And there's video breakdoends out

487
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 2: there and and the Harper advice, and so that could

488
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 2: lead you to believe that there was some truth to

489
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 2: it for those homers were on off speed pitches. I

490
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 2: don't know if you saw Pedro Martinez on MLB Network,

491
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 2: but he said absolutely it was. And yeah, he gave

492
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 2: the demonstration that the slider is off speed pitches. His

493
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 2: wind up was his glove hand ended up like on

494
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 2: the side of his head as soon as he came up,

495
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 2: and his wind up like the side of his head. Well,

496
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 2: his fastball was a lot lower, like chin level. Yeah,

497
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 2: so you were you're buying it into that or where

498
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 2: you were?

499
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was.

500
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, Pedro Martinez, you know, speak to

501
00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 4: you kind of listen. He's been there and done that.

502
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 4: That's on mccullors to make adjustments. There's there's no I

503
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 4: don't think there's anything wrong with that. You know what

504
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 4: Harper said, you know, to his teammates, they're they're talking

505
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 4: all the time. You know, that's just that's part of

506
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 4: the game. If a guy's tipping, he's got to make

507
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 4: the adjustments in game. But I definitely think he was

508
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 4: because mccullor's is a very good pitcher, and he's a

509
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 4: very good pitcher in the postseason as well. That was

510
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 4: very uncharacteristic of him to, you know, give a performance

511
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 4: like that, but clearly something was a miss.

512
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: But yeah he was.

513
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 2: It was the Olive Garden task. He was serving enough

514
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 2: meatballs there. Yeah, and then we didn't see him the

515
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 2: rest of the series. If I'm not mistaken in a

516
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 2: relief role. It's funny. I just got a gift card

517
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 2: to the Olive Garden Joel. What timing? What timing?

518
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 4: Nice?

519
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: Nice?

520
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 2: I think I have it in my pocket here. They don't.

521
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 2: They don't pay me, but I don't mind showing their

522
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:53,719
Speaker 2: gift card because I guess they sent me one. There

523
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 2: it is right there.

524
00:26:54,960 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: Okay, who gave you an Olive Garden gift car?

525
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 2: Yeah? Who would do that? Is that your question?

526
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: Who who gave it to you?

527
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 2: On Earth would give me? I believe it was from

528
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 2: Olive Gardens the business itself, like.

529
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 1: Oh okay, okay, I thought someone. Yeah.

530
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 2: I think it was like a Twitter follow thing and

531
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 2: they probably just oh okay, yeah anyway, So okay, I'll

532
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 2: get a meatball in your honor and unlimited salad of course,

533
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 2: and breadsticks, right, yeah, no doubt, unlimited bread sticks and soup.

534
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 2: The MINISTROTI soup's not bad not bad at all anyway,

535
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 2: you know, mccauth. It is interesting because mccullar's did have

536
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 2: five k's, so I guess they weren't guessing right all

537
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 2: the time. But it's interesting because, like I think the

538
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 2: stat was on his in his previous four hundred and

539
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 2: fifty one off speed pitches, so it's a lot. It's

540
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 2: a pretty big sample size. He didn't give up one

541
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 2: home run and then in this instance he gave up

542
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 2: four to the Phillies, who, Yeah, definitely with the Harper, hey,

543
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 2: come on over here, it felt like, yeah, we're onto something.

544
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 2: They saw something.

545
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, they saw something.

546
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 2: And they actually they faced the Colors in the final

547
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 2: days of the regular season and he only gave up

548
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 2: one run over six innings against them. So yeah, anyway,

549
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 2: they were up seven zip at this point with the

550
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 2: five home runs, and I knew they weren't coming back.

551
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 2: I just I just knew as a sports fan. There's

552
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 2: no way to know that, but I just knew it

553
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,959
Speaker 2: wasn't one of those. It's obviously it felt like twice,

554
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 2: I mean twice in three games that was going to happen.

555
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 2: But anyway, a last note on Game three, because we

556
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 2: got so much to get to this was a great series.

557
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 2: Country singer Tim McGraw in the stands where in Phillies

558
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 2: McGraw jersey, and I just thought it was his own jersey, right,

559
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 2: I had no idea, right, his dad's. Yeah, Tug McGraw

560
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 2: was a major. Yeah, we talked about it on No

561
00:28:55,200 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 2: Dunks this week. You knew Tug was I mean? And

562
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 2: he won a world series with the Phillies in nineteen

563
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 2: eighties with the Phillies. Yeah, yeah, all right, good stuff,

564
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 2: good stuff. I had no idea. Thank you. I guess

565
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 2: I guess I'm not. I'm just a casual. But I'm

566
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 2: catching up. I'm catching up as we we catch you

567
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 2: all up here on this great frickin' world series. Uh,

568
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 2: it was, it was phenomenal. We've got lots to get to.

569
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 2: I've got lots of questions for you, Joel. One one

570
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 2: from Danielle. Actually, she she sent in a question. We've

571
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 2: got lots to get to about. You know, we'll get

572
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 2: more Jeremy Paine, you talk, et cetera, Dusty Baker talk,

573
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 2: et cetera, and we'll get to whether this world series

574
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 2: victory rids the Astros of the cheater label. But first,

575
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 2: a quick ad break and olive Garden is not a

576
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 2: part of it. We'll be right back, all right back

577
00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 2: with no bunts where we're always going, Apo Taco. I

578
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 2: just saw this stat. Gotta share it with you. Once

579
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 2: I get a stat in my head, gotta share it.

580
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 2: Philly's had seventy one ks this World Series, the most

581
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 2: in a World Series history. They definitely will wow swing

582
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 2: for the fences type of group. There saw Rob Thompson,

583
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 2: our favorite Canadian manager, being interviewed there. I wonder, I

584
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 2: wonder what the shift next year. I mean, this is

585
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 2: bigger picture, but if more small ball comes into play

586
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 2: and less yeah, less of the three true outcomes thing

587
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 2: with the strikeout home right, So hopefully that happens. I'm

588
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 2: sure Rob Thompson loves small ball. I'm just assuming, yeah,

589
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 2: I will see. I mean, baseball's always adapted. The players

590
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 2: will always adact, so you know, who knows what we're

591
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 2: going to see. But obviously, yeah, there's gonna be different

592
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 2: offensive approaches. I feel like, sure, all right, well, Game four,

593
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 2: the Phillies up to to one in this series. What

594
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 2: happened here in Game four? Well, the Astros just throw

595
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 2: Christian Javier on the hill, that helps, and he was

596
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 2: taken on Aaron Nola of the Phillies. Astros have the

597
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 2: bases load in the top of the fifth with nobody

598
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 2: out scoreless games. So but this is a very scary

599
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 2: time for the Phillies here. So Rob Thompson we're just

600
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 2: talking about, comes out, gets Nola and brings in Jose

601
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 2: Alvarado to face Jordan Alvarez for the second time in

602
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 2: this series. Got him the first time Game one, lefty

603
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 2: versus lefty. You know, he feels like he has to uh.

604
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 2: He brought him in in the fifth in game one

605
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 2: as well. It worked that time. First pitch though, he

606
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 2: drills Alvarez. Runner scores Ye, it's one nothing. Stros. Next

607
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 2: batter is Alex Bregman, who hit a Grand Slam in

608
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 2: the World Series in twenty nineteen. But Alvarado got ahead

609
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 2: of him, oh two. So when he get out of

610
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 2: this ending with minimal damage, keep this a close game.

611
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 2: He left an O two pitch up just a bit.

612
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 2: It was a way and Bregman did a nice job

613
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 2: of going OPO with a two run double. Very good

614
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 2: piece of hitting. It's three nothing now it's a two

615
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 2: run double. There, sackfly, It's four zip and then Julie

616
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 2: Guriel got a beautiful his bat on a really tough pitch,

617
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 2: beautiful hit for a single. It's five zip. So this

618
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 2: game's over, Rachel, It's over.

619
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 1: It was over. Yeah, that was That was a total

620
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: smoke show.

621
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 4: No hitter in the World Series first combined no hitter

622
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 4: in the World Series.

623
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: That to me, that totally.

624
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 4: Shifted the momentum because after that game, you know, Philadelphia

625
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 4: had scored you know, in games one and three, the

626
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 4: games they won, you know, they put up some serious runs.

627
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 4: And after that in games four, five, and six, I

628
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 4: think they only scored three runs. So to me, that

629
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 4: kind of you know, shifted the momentum. That was a

630
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 4: huge road win. It tied the series up coming off

631
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 4: of that blowout in Game three, and I think once

632
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 4: that happened, I started to think, Okay, now it's a

633
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 4: best of three and two of these games are going

634
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 4: to be back in Houston. As you know, I wasn't

635
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 4: saying this this series is over, but in my mind,

636
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 4: I thought Philadelphia is really going to.

637
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: Be in a tough spot, you know, after losing this game.

638
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, so Javier the Astros Game four start, that's how

639
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 2: deep this team is no hits the Phillies through six,

640
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 2: and then three more Astros relievers pitch a no hit

641
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 2: inning each and it's a combined no hitter. Still, even

642
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 2: if it's not one pitcher throwing a complete game. No, no,

643
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 2: it's pretty phenomenal. And you mentioned the history of World

644
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 2: Series no hitters, it's only the second one. The other

645
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 2: one a Don Larson perfect game for the Yankees in

646
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 2: nineteen fifty six. And there's also a third postseason no hitters,

647
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 2: only three postseason no hitters in MLB history. I know

648
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 2: who it is. You know who it is. Who was it?

649
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: Mister Roy Halladay?

650
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 2: I believe you're so right.

651
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 1: And he did it as a Philly he did.

652
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, so the Phillies have been involved in two of them,

653
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,399
Speaker 2: and he did it versus the Cards in twenty ten.

654
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 2: So the Astros tie the series. That five ZIP victories,

655
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:32,720
Speaker 2: a great fricking series. After the game, Phillies Kyle Schwarber

656
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 2: was asked about being no hit I saw that and

657
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 2: he said, quote, I don't give a shit.

658
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, ouch, that's not that didn't age well, well.

659
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 2: Come on, it kind of aged well because Game five

660
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 2: we're still in Philly. Yeah, and remember it's two three

661
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 2: to two, so three games in Philly, and yeah, as

662
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 2: you said, you don't want to go back to Houston

663
00:34:58,120 --> 00:34:59,919
Speaker 2: down three to two. So this was a big one.

664
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 2: So Astros come out hot top one second pitch of

665
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 2: the game, Altwove doubles, I moves the third on an

666
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 2: air and Payinya singles him home. Astro's picking up right

667
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 2: where they left off. One zip Houston, but bottom one.

668
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 2: Kyle Schwarber says, I don't give a shit, and he

669
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 2: hits a schwar Bomb. Yeah, the second pitch of the

670
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 2: game from Astro starter justin Verlanders. So we're tied at one. So, yeah,

671
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 2: they didn't win the series, but he kind of backed

672
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 2: it up.

673
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not like I mean when I say that

674
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 4: take didn't age great, I mean that kind of as

675
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 4: a team with Philly, it wasn't on Schworeber like he

676
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 4: still I mean he yeah, he you know, did his part.

677
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 4: But the just like I said a minute ago, the

678
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 4: entire kind of offense just went missing after that game.

679
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 1: They didn't really score too many runs.

680
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting. I don't know if this is interesting

681
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 2: actually now that I think about it, But the Phillies

682
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 2: had a combined no hitter thrown against them in April,

683
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 2: and Schober hit a home for the next game. Not

684
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 2: that interesting, but this may be more interesting. Only two

685
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 2: combined no hitters in MLB during this regular season of

686
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 2: all the teams. That was surprising to me. That's only two.

687
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,280
Speaker 2: It feels like it happens every once.

688
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 4: They're becoming more Yeah, they're becoming more common.

689
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,799
Speaker 2: Because guys guys don't throw.

690
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 1: I mean, guys just do.

691
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 4: Guys don't throw. They just don't throw nine innings anymore.

692
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 4: So yeah, it's definitely more of a rarity for for

693
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:36,240
Speaker 4: one guy to throw, Yeah, you know, a no hitter.

694
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why I thought there would be more than two.

695
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 2: But anyway, back to Game five here bottom two. Verlander

696
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 2: gets the first two outs, but then gets in a jam.

697
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 2: Cigarette pulls a first pitch single. Then Verlander walks number

698
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 2: nine hitter Brandon marsh Then he gets behind Schwarber and

699
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 2: just throws him of offsby pitches to walk them. Essentially,

700
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 2: I guess, because he's scared of Schwarber crushing fastballs, so

701
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:02,879
Speaker 2: basses juice for Reese Hosk, but Verlander just bared down,

702
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,839
Speaker 2: struck out. Hoskins got out of a big, big jam there.

703
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 2: So top four, it's still one one and Astros rookie

704
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,959
Speaker 2: shortstop Jeremy Panna. It's wild to think that this guy's

705
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 2: a rookie. I know he's baby faced and all that,

706
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:18,760
Speaker 2: and he's but he's a twenty five year old rookie.

707
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 2: He looks like maybe it's because the guy's around him,

708
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 2: but he's always looks like he's well beyond his years, right,

709
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 2: And Yeah, he's leading off the inning and he goes

710
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 2: down oh two, and this is testament to that plays

711
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 2: like a vet. He fouls off another pitch, got it

712
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,800
Speaker 2: to to to two, and then he pulled a curve

713
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 2: into the seats to make it two to one, a

714
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 2: monstrous home run. Yeah, in game five, he's I don't

715
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 2: know where this guy came from. Obviously he's a rook but.

716
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 4: He yeah, he's I mean, that's just a testament to

717
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 4: Houston's and I know we'll get into this later and

718
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 4: you know my thoughts on the Astros, but it's just

719
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:05,759
Speaker 4: a testament to that organization, Like that's homegrown talent that

720
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,320
Speaker 4: they're developing. He's not a guy they got, I believe

721
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 4: from another organization. He was drafted and developed, and he's

722
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 4: not the only one you know that Houston's obviously produced.

723
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:16,879
Speaker 4: He looked he didn't look like a rookie out there

724
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 4: task at all. He looked like he looked like he'd

725
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 4: been playing ten years and like this was no big

726
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 4: deal for him.

727
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:23,839
Speaker 1: It was very it was awesome to see.

728
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 2: Okay, So this is where Danielle's question enters the chat. Okay, So,

729
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 2: so she was watching that at bat and as I said,

730
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 2: it was it was a six pitch at bat. So

731
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 2: he was going in and out of the box, he

732
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,720
Speaker 2: was getting ready, he was spitting. He also let snot

733
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 2: rockets go from each of his nostrils after different pitches.

734
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 2: And she said, this is this is gross. Like he

735
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 2: didn't even grab it, grab his crotch. There's no crotch grabbing.

736
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 2: It was just all chin and above spit. It's not rockets.

737
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 2: So she said, is baseball the grossest of all sports?

738
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 2: And I said probably in terms of.

739
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:10,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's there's a lot of spitting, there's a lot

740
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 4: of Yeah, there's a lot of snot rockets. But I

741
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 4: believe in football, if I'm not mistaken, some guys have

742
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:23,320
Speaker 4: like defecated themselves, like mid game, you know, So that's

743
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 4: that's pretty gross, although obviously that's not doing that on purpose.

744
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:27,800
Speaker 1: They're not doing that on purpose.

745
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 4: Yes, okay, yeah, Baseball's yeah, baseball is pretty gross. Yeah, yeah,

746
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 4: it's just it's what we came up with was it's

747
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,919
Speaker 4: an outdoor game, a lot of it, So I think

748
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,800
Speaker 4: that adds to the people feel comfortable, you know.

749
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 2: Spin But if.

750
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 4: I'm not mistaken, I think I think in some of

751
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 4: the Asian leagues they don't spit on the field. That's

752
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:55,240
Speaker 4: seen as very disrespectful. I'm pretty sure in the Japanese League,

753
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 4: I saw something a couple months ago where I don't

754
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 4: know if it was an americ Erican player, a Latin

755
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 4: American player, like, you know, spit on the field, and

756
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:05,959
Speaker 4: one of the other players is like, hey, like, don't

757
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:06,399
Speaker 4: do that.

758
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: That's very discreete like, we don't. We don't do that here.

759
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 4: So I don't know if it's don't quote me on that,

760
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 4: but I don't know if it's an MLB thing or yeah,

761
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:15,720
Speaker 4: I'm not sure.

762
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 2: That's why we have you on Jewel that's that's good inside.

763
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 2: It's interesting. When I was in China, I saw a

764
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,839
Speaker 2: lot of people spinning, but maybe on the ballfield they're

765
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:31,320
Speaker 2: not allowed to. It's just in Asia overall, because uh,

766
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:36,359
Speaker 2: that makes sense to me because it's definitely a North

767
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,760
Speaker 2: American thing. It's not just a major league thing. It's

768
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:43,840
Speaker 2: it's uh college ball, minor league ball. But the snot rockets.

769
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:45,359
Speaker 2: It's going a little too far. The spin.

770
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's that's disgusting.

771
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 4: Yes, spitting like I'm not like spinning is is gross?

772
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:54,919
Speaker 4: Like not Yeah, it's gross, but yeah, not rocket I mean, yeah,

773
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 4: you tone it down. You're out of ten.

774
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,399
Speaker 1: I could use you out a seven calm down.

775
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,799
Speaker 2: Sam You in the chat says umpires throw up regularly?

776
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:08,879
Speaker 2: Do they? I don't know, Samuel, no know is he's

777
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 2: a very trustworthy person. So okay, I throw that up there.

778
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 4: But ups, I have seen I have seen umps get

779
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 4: ill on the field. I think usually like a very

780
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 4: hot day, they're behind the plate. But I don't think

781
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 4: it's something i've seen like with regularity.

782
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 2: M good comment here. I feel the NHL benches get

783
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 2: proph Yeah good call. Yeah, thanks Scott as too. Two

784
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 2: Canadians here. We should we should know that probably, but

785
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 2: you don't see it as much as baseball. I guess

786
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 2: because the close ups. I think that's one thing with

787
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:44,400
Speaker 2: how great the presentation is with baseball right now, you

788
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 2: see so many close ups. You see everything in HD,

789
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 2: like you're seeing the spit and it's not rockets in

790
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 2: high definition, so it's like right in your face. It

791
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:56,359
Speaker 2: was like, right, we're like, we have a nice TV.

792
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:03,320
Speaker 2: We're we're watching it up close in personal. So Danielle,

793
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 2: Danielle always comments on that baseball. Here's a comment I

794
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 2: think to back up our question. I've never heard of

795
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:13,360
Speaker 2: i'ms throwing up via Hootski, So I don't know. I

796
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,799
Speaker 2: don't know. We're spreading some more misinformation. Anyway, Let's get

797
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 2: back to Game five here. The score was three to

798
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 2: two in the bottom of the eighth, the Astros trying

799
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 2: to hold off a Phillies rally. And it was interesting

800
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 2: because Trey Mancini, who was seemed like a big pickup

801
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:33,839
Speaker 2: at the trade deadline, he wasn't hasn't been doing much

802
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,319
Speaker 2: in the World Series at all. He was in at

803
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 2: first base in the bottom of the eighth because he

804
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 2: came in as a pinch hitter in the top of

805
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 2: the eighth and he hadn't played first base in a

806
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 2: month essentially since October twelve, so they were comfortable throwing

807
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 2: him out there though, and you'd think maybe maybe this

808
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 2: would be something that would come back to bite Dusty

809
00:42:57,640 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 2: Baker in the butt. But he came through runners on

810
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 2: first some third, two out, Schwarber pulled a ball down

811
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 2: the line that would have tied the game. But many, yeah,

812
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 2: he did smoke him. Man, see it was all over

813
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 2: it and he came up with it to stop the rally,

814
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 2: and then the Phillies had one more chance in the

815
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,359
Speaker 2: bottom of the ninth. Real Muto a big home run hitter.

816
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 2: As we've said a couple of times, he just hits dingers.

817
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 2: He lofted a ball deep to right center, but here

818
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:26,479
Speaker 2: comes Chas McCormick from the other side of center, playing

819
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 2: him to pull, and then after ninety two feet he

820
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 2: gathered himself, timed his jump perfectly, stretching his right hand

821
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 2: up to the top of the wall, colliding with the

822
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:37,840
Speaker 2: wall and coming down with the catch, laying on his

823
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 2: back for a while looking up. He had actually friends

824
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:45,239
Speaker 2: and family there in Philadelphia, although he's an astro and

825
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 2: there's a cool photo you'll see it, and tweeted the

826
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 2: night a little bit later on in the show, but

827
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 2: McCormick hung on and just like the Astros did with

828
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 2: that beautiful catch. So question, Joel, do you want to

829
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 2: comment on Chaz's catch or you want to just go

830
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 2: to the question was was it better than Devon White's

831
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:05,399
Speaker 2: catch in nineteen ninety two?

832
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:07,399
Speaker 1: Test?

833
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:08,880
Speaker 4: You know, I can never you know, I can never

834
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 4: go against my beloved Blue Jays object. I mean, that

835
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 4: was a phenomenal catch, and just I just wanted to

836
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 4: quickly jump in on the Mancini thing. Those guys, you know,

837
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 4: McCormick and Mancini didn't really do anything offensively, you know,

838
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 4: in this series. I feel like, well, Mancini definitely not.

839
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:33,840
Speaker 4: But that's what I love about baseball, especially playoff baseball.

840
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:37,239
Speaker 4: Just that one key moment. They did what they had

841
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 4: to do in that moment. Those were both games saving plays.

842
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 4: They did it on the other side of the ball.

843
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 4: Very excited, very happy, you know, especially Mancini and Tests.

844
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 4: When we did our last show, I was reading in

845
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 4: the comments and you said, why should we cheer for Houston?

846
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 4: And I totally forgot And I'm glad one of the

847
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 4: listeners wrote this, Mancini is a cancer survivor and I

848
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 4: you know, totally slipped my mind. So it was good

849
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 4: to see him, you know, have that moment in the

850
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,799
Speaker 4: World Series as well. But that was that was such

851
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:06,799
Speaker 4: an exciting thing. And you know, you know, we talked

852
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 4: about this earlier. Houston was just a better defensive team

853
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 4: that was on display because it was I think Schwarber

854
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:17,319
Speaker 4: fumbled the ball at first base which allowed al Tuove

855
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 4: to score from third, and that you know, that should

856
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:23,760
Speaker 4: have been they would have been able to get Altuve

857
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:26,319
Speaker 4: at home or possibly keep him on that third if

858
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:29,839
Speaker 4: that balls fielded cleanly. So you know, defense was you know,

859
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 4: on was another you know thing that separated both teams.

860
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, that that insurance run there, well that turned out

861
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 2: to be the winning run, right right, It felt like

862
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 2: an insurance run. Yeah, yeah, yeah, As you said, cool

863
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 2: for Trey Mncini the moment, and it was cool for

864
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:54,920
Speaker 2: Justin Verlander even though as the Astros hung on, he

865
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 2: got a win. Even though he's had a Hall of

866
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 2: Fame career. It was his first World Series win, which

867
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 2: is wild to believe. Eight World Series starts zero and

868
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 2: six in them and just rolling through the other rounds

869
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 2: of the playoffs because his numbers overall are justin Verlander

870
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:13,239
Speaker 2: like when it comes to the postseason, but he just

871
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 2: got hammered over the years in the World Series. Anyways,

872
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 2: Dusty Baker stuck with him. He did in Game one.

873
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 2: We criticized that, you know, I threw that out there

874
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 2: in Game one, that he stuck with him too long,

875
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 2: but he obviously paid him off here by sticking with him.

876
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:33,800
Speaker 2: Verlander definitely paid off. Yeah, because the Astros won this baby,

877
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 2: and we go to Houston two chances for the Astros

878
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 2: to win it. Game six, same matchup as Game two tonight.

879
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 2: It was from Ervaldez and Zach Wheeler, both guys rolling. Ye,

880
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:54,399
Speaker 2: Zach Wheeler breaking bats. I haven't seen that it was.

881
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,319
Speaker 2: I don't think evers watching baseball that I guess it

882
00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:01,880
Speaker 2: was the third. He was sawing off multiple bats, So

883
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 2: that was pretty cool. Bottom of the fourth, Paine, you

884
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 2: let off with a single, and I mentioned that because

885
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 2: he had a hit in all six World Series games

886
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 2: on his way to being named MVP. Beautiful stuff there,

887
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 2: and that was only the second hit of the night

888
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,320
Speaker 2: for Houston there in the fourth, as Zach Wheeler was

889
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 2: rolling top six, still scoreless, Phillies had only one hit

890
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 2: going in but shorter again. He leads off, rips a

891
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 2: homer into the seats, another shore bumb and a wicked

892
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 2: replay showing his quick hands adjusting to a sinker moving

893
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 2: in on his hands. It was wild and small commenting

894
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 2: it on the call, like how he pulled his hands

895
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:52,799
Speaker 2: in as a ball went right to left and he

896
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 2: was able to get the barrel on it. Third homer

897
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:59,240
Speaker 2: of the series and three in the last four games.

898
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 2: So the phi Phillis road to allegial they were.

899
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 4: And I think in that broadcast too, because I was

900
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 4: actually switching between the Fox one and the ESPN one.

901
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 4: I can't remember which one mention it, but that was

902
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:15,759
Speaker 4: the first home run that he had given up since

903
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 4: July in Houston, which I thought was, you know, like,

904
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:21,920
Speaker 4: that's it. That's a crazy stat. So that was just

905
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 4: a good piece of hitting. I mean, that's that just

906
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:26,319
Speaker 4: goes to show you how good of a hitter Schwarber is.

907
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 2: Wow, Romber and giving up went up in four months.

908
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 2: That's phenomenal. Yeah, he looked he looked un hitable until

909
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:38,399
Speaker 2: that point, and so on the other side, because Zak

910
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 2: Wheeler was looking unhittable, it looked like Philly was in

911
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 2: a decent spot. They just had to feel good. But

912
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:47,799
Speaker 2: what was wild was this? This was some this was baseball. Here,

913
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:53,560
Speaker 2: bottom of the sixth Martin Maldonado, big catcher for the Astros.

914
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 2: He's leading off and pitch hits him in the elbow.

915
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:03,719
Speaker 2: And yeah, and on the broadcast, on the Fox broadcast,

916
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:06,960
Speaker 2: they showed the adjustment that he made because he was

917
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 2: getting pitched inside over and over and over again. And

918
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 2: they showed how far he was standing off the plate

919
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 2: in his previous at bat compared to this at bat

920
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 2: where he got hit in the elbow and he was

921
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:19,920
Speaker 2: on top of the plate, and so the pitch that

922
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:24,680
Speaker 2: hit him, he was literally just off the plane. If

923
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:26,799
Speaker 2: it was a ball at all, I'm not sure, but

924
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:31,239
Speaker 2: his elbow was basically on the plate. And the Phillies complained,

925
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:33,879
Speaker 2: there's nothing really took a plane about they I guess

926
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 2: they they did review it, hoping that it hit his

927
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:38,879
Speaker 2: the knob of his bat.

928
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:41,320
Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, clearly didn't.

929
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 2: No, it did not hit his elbow. But I mean

930
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 2: that little adjustment monstrous because a leadoff guy, yeah, on

931
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 2: is so big in this series.

932
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:51,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Tass, I don't think We talked about this,

933
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 4: but in Game one, a ledmis ds was hit and

934
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 4: he blatantly leaned into it, and the yump actually called

935
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 4: him back. And that's something that you don't see very often.

936
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 4: And I didn't see any people really complaining about that.

937
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:09,320
Speaker 4: I think most fans I saw at least the chatter,

938
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 4: agreed with the call.

939
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:12,399
Speaker 1: I means pretty I mean you know, it's pretty easy

940
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 1: to see.

941
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think they were like, well, it's this

942
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:17,320
Speaker 4: gonna happen like two times in one World Series.

943
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:19,879
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think he leaned into this one.

944
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:21,400
Speaker 1: I think it hit him.

945
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 2: No, No, he just adjusted and got on the plate

946
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:29,440
Speaker 2: and right wheeler kept pitching him the same, pitched him

947
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 2: inside and it hit him. No, he didn't move the

948
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,279
Speaker 2: way uh Dias did. That was that was phenomenal for

949
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 2: the umpire to be just the home plate umpire saw

950
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 2: it and called him right back. It wasn't even another umpire.

951
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:44,280
Speaker 2: He just immediately said, no way, Ye're back here. Yeah,

952
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:47,920
Speaker 2: that was great. So this hit by pitch a big,

953
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:51,440
Speaker 2: big hit tonight in Game six, so he is on

954
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:55,399
Speaker 2: and then Altuve hits into a fielder's choice, so he's

955
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 2: on first, get a little speed there, and then Pana

956
00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:00,880
Speaker 2: again steps up with a single. I'll two v with

957
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:03,120
Speaker 2: this bead goes first the third, so it's first and third,

958
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:06,360
Speaker 2: one out Wheelers night done. Third time in this series.

959
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 2: Panya knocked out a Philly's starting pitcher. Yeah, which is

960
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:13,840
Speaker 2: which is kind of neat. So in comes the lefty

961
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 2: Jose Alvarado to face jord On Alvarez for the fourth

962
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 2: time in this series. Lefty versus lefty again. It's it's

963
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:24,800
Speaker 2: always a question throughout the postseason, who are you gonna

964
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:30,080
Speaker 2: throw against Alvarez. Alvarez was oer for two and was

965
00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 2: hit once in those three matchups prior to tonight against Alvarado,

966
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,239
Speaker 2: and I'm sure Alvarado wished he just hit him like

967
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:40,400
Speaker 2: he did in Game four, because this time Alvarez hit

968
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:47,080
Speaker 2: Alvarado in a big way. Fastball down to it he did. Yeah,

969
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:49,239
Speaker 2: he couldn't have hit it any harder. Four hundred and

970
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:51,879
Speaker 2: fifty foot bombs, straight away center, three run blast made

971
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 2: it three to one. Yeah, so first homer since the

972
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:58,960
Speaker 2: Division Series. Alvarez had been kind of quiet. But we

973
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 2: remember those ones, those two postseason, those two Division Series hovers, Yeah,

974
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:08,400
Speaker 2: against the Mariners because they were homers that gave the

975
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:12,960
Speaker 2: lead to the Houston Astros. So all three dingers that

976
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 2: he hit, all three of his postseason homers were go

977
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:19,200
Speaker 2: ahead home runs. And I know we were texted back

978
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:21,600
Speaker 2: and forth, Joel, how do you feel about going to

979
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 2: Alvarado versus Alvarez in this situation?

980
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:32,040
Speaker 4: I mean, I get matchups. I get it, you're just

981
00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:35,960
Speaker 4: simply playing the percentages. But if you know, if you

982
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:40,399
Speaker 4: can't execute your pitch, then matchups me nothing. Robbie Ray

983
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:45,960
Speaker 4: hung a meatball to Alvarez, you know, and with you know,

984
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 4: same with Alvarado tonight. It just I mean, if you

985
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,719
Speaker 4: can and he was wild too. He melted down after that.

986
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:55,439
Speaker 4: It's easy to sit here and be a Monday morning

987
00:52:55,520 --> 00:53:00,080
Speaker 4: quarterback about it. I think Thompson should have kind of

988
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:03,720
Speaker 4: of rolled with rolled with the starter a bit longer.

989
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:06,800
Speaker 4: It's easy to say that now, but I mean, that

990
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:08,360
Speaker 4: was the game right there.

991
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:11,319
Speaker 1: You know. I don't know wh what else to say

992
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 1: other than that, I just like matchups. To me, I

993
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:16,600
Speaker 1: don't know.

994
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:19,359
Speaker 4: I used to be in favor of them, but in

995
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:23,839
Speaker 4: recent years I'm not as I'm not as convinced. I

996
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 4: still think you need to have a bit more faith

997
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 4: in your starters. You know, Wheeler was pitching great up

998
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:29,320
Speaker 4: to that point.

999
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:29,840
Speaker 1: I don't.

1000
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 4: I mean, there was a runner on first and third,

1001
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 4: I get it, But you know, he had pitched well

1002
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 4: against alvarezm those first two at bats. I don't see

1003
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:40,080
Speaker 4: why you don't stick with them there. But again, like

1004
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 4: that's easy for us to say in hindsight.

1005
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he did get him out two of the

1006
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:47,920
Speaker 2: three times he pitched against them, and he hit him.

1007
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:50,840
Speaker 2: He hit him the other time, so he hadn't gotten

1008
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:57,319
Speaker 2: a hit off of him. But yeah, Smolts was saying

1009
00:53:57,360 --> 00:53:59,840
Speaker 2: on the broadcast, it's sort of like, you know, the

1010
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:04,880
Speaker 2: third time around in the order. Alvarez now seeing Alvarado

1011
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:08,359
Speaker 2: for the fourth time in this series, so that I'm

1012
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:11,760
Speaker 2: sure helped him out, but it felt like he missed

1013
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 2: his mark. As e Krab mentioned here, Jordan hasn't even split.

1014
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 2: It probably doesn't even matter that Alvarado was a left

1015
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 2: He can hit both. He's into the high heat to him,

1016
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:23,439
Speaker 2: except this time he missed middle, middle. He missed. There's

1017
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:29,320
Speaker 2: absolutely missed. There's no doubt about that. Alvro's tough dude

1018
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:29,960
Speaker 2: to throw two.

1019
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:32,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, he didn't. He didn't.

1020
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:34,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, he didn't have Like you said, he didn't have

1021
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:36,279
Speaker 4: a lot of hits. You know, in the postseason test

1022
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:38,040
Speaker 4: with the ones he did, he made him count.

1023
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:38,640
Speaker 1: They were huge.

1024
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:42,839
Speaker 2: Well, the Astros would add an insurance run to make

1025
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:47,880
Speaker 2: it for to one and they would hang on. The Astros.

1026
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:52,000
Speaker 2: They lost two World Series to underdog Nli's teams, the

1027
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:54,719
Speaker 2: Nationals in twenty nineteen, the Brazen twenty twenty one. But

1028
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 2: not this year. They looked so good. World Series MVP

1029
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:04,239
Speaker 2: Jeremy Pania Dusty Baker the oldest manager to win it

1030
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:07,279
Speaker 2: at seventy three, I do believe, and he had won

1031
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:10,840
Speaker 2: over two thousand games without winning the series, the most, yeah,

1032
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:14,880
Speaker 2: in MLB history. So good stuff there.

1033
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:17,839
Speaker 4: And I believe they were talking about on the broadcast too.

1034
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:21,240
Speaker 4: He was the only manager to have won two thousand

1035
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 4: games but not to have won a World Series championship.

1036
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:27,160
Speaker 4: So he's you know, he's he's officially part of the club,

1037
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:28,759
Speaker 4: I guess you could say. But I think a lot

1038
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:31,200
Speaker 4: of people, especially a lot of baseball fans, are just

1039
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:33,080
Speaker 4: so happy that he finally got it.

1040
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 1: He's such a good dude.

1041
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:37,839
Speaker 4: I mean, he's been snake bit and he's had his heartbroken,

1042
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:39,560
Speaker 4: you know, in Washington and Chicago.

1043
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:40,680
Speaker 1: I feel he's just been on.

1044
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:42,799
Speaker 4: The end of a lot of bad luck in his

1045
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:43,920
Speaker 4: managerial career.

1046
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:46,920
Speaker 1: So I'm very happy for him to finally get one.

1047
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:47,960
Speaker 1: He definitely deserves it.

1048
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:52,600
Speaker 2: Good for him, and I'm seeing this here as Baker

1049
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:55,560
Speaker 2: brings home his first World Series title as a manager.

1050
00:55:56,719 --> 00:56:00,400
Speaker 2: Apparently he's the oldest manager in the four major American

1051
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:04,560
Speaker 2: sports to win a championship, just win a championship. That's

1052
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:10,160
Speaker 2: kind of surprising, according to NBC Sports. I would think

1053
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:15,319
Speaker 2: definitely the first oldest to win a first, but apparently

1054
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 2: the first the oldest just to win it.

1055
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:21,840
Speaker 1: To win one, Okay, that's interesting. Anyway, he's seven. You

1056
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:26,120
Speaker 1: said he's seventy three years old. Yeah, yeah, that's not young.

1057
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:27,320
Speaker 1: Yeah that's not young.

1058
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, it could be true. It could definitely true.

1059
00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:34,480
Speaker 2: So you know, I've hinted at it a couple of

1060
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:39,239
Speaker 2: times there. Do you think the World Series rids the

1061
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:41,040
Speaker 2: Astros of the cheater label?

1062
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 1: Absolutely? Absolutely? This puts it to bed.

1063
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:50,319
Speaker 4: And you know, kind of in that vein, I know,

1064
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:52,879
Speaker 4: the World Series just ended an hour ago, and there's

1065
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:56,000
Speaker 4: there's gonna be free agency and free agency and things

1066
00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:58,959
Speaker 4: like that. Houston's pretty much going to run this team

1067
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:02,400
Speaker 4: back out there. I think Verlander is a free agent.

1068
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:03,840
Speaker 4: I don't know off the top of my head, but

1069
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:07,760
Speaker 4: pretty much the majority of that roster is under control

1070
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:11,400
Speaker 4: and going to be back. And I don't really again,

1071
00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:13,400
Speaker 4: like we don't know what's gonna happen in free agency.

1072
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:16,840
Speaker 4: But even with that being said, I can't see a team,

1073
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 4: like whether it's spending or through trades, going out there

1074
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:24,240
Speaker 4: and closing the gap. Houston, to me, clearly showed that

1075
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:29,000
Speaker 4: they are a tier above everybody else in Major League Baseball.

1076
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:32,600
Speaker 4: No disrespect to Philly. Philly you know, gave them, you know,

1077
00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:37,440
Speaker 4: gave him a challenge. But Houston was always in control

1078
00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:40,640
Speaker 4: even in the losses. Okay, they got smoked that one game,

1079
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:44,480
Speaker 4: but even in the other loss, they were up they

1080
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 4: should you know, they were up five to nothing.

1081
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:50,040
Speaker 1: I think this completely puts it to bed for me.

1082
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:52,240
Speaker 4: I don't really have anything else to say on it,

1083
00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:55,360
Speaker 4: and I don't think you could make a logical case

1084
00:57:55,560 --> 00:58:00,400
Speaker 4: against them of you know, them being cheaters. You know,

1085
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:03,880
Speaker 4: the only reason they're good is because they did underhanded stuff. No,

1086
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:07,880
Speaker 4: they did it because they're a well run organization period.

1087
00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 2: Well said, And I know sometimes you get tired of

1088
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 2: the The Dodgers are always on top talk because they

1089
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:20,960
Speaker 2: show up in every postseason and they only won the

1090
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:23,360
Speaker 2: one during the you know, the odd twenty twenty season.

1091
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:27,080
Speaker 2: But you don't feel the same way about the Astros,

1092
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:31,720
Speaker 2: like you, well, in what sense, Well, you're tired of

1093
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:34,880
Speaker 2: the Dodgers because oh oh, they always show up to

1094
00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:37,080
Speaker 2: the dance and they only won the one in twenty twenty.

1095
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:39,400
Speaker 2: Now this is the Astros second, but they had only

1096
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:43,400
Speaker 2: won one and that one, you know, had the cheating

1097
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:48,200
Speaker 2: black eye all over it. But they show up and

1098
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:51,960
Speaker 2: they haven't wonil until this one. But you feel like

1099
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:55,280
Speaker 2: you seem like you're okay seeing them in the dance

1100
00:58:55,480 --> 00:59:00,200
Speaker 2: year after year, while the Dodgers you're just yeah, and

1101
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:01,240
Speaker 2: spend and they can't get.

1102
00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:04,520
Speaker 4: It done exactly. Yeah, Well, Houston, I mean, obviously Houston

1103
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:06,680
Speaker 4: spent money. You know, it's not like they're doing this

1104
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:10,680
Speaker 4: on the cheap. But a lot of that's homegrown, and

1105
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:13,440
Speaker 4: to be fair, so is a lot of the Dodgers talent.

1106
00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:17,720
Speaker 1: But Freeman was a free agent. Bets they traded for.

1107
00:59:18,600 --> 00:59:22,120
Speaker 4: Those are two key pieces, and there's rumors that they're

1108
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:24,680
Speaker 4: gonna make a run at Judge and free Agency, which

1109
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:27,840
Speaker 4: I think would be hilarious and awesome to see if

1110
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 4: they were actually able to get Aaron Judge. But yeah,

1111
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:34,200
Speaker 4: they just haven't got it done, and Houston has.

1112
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 1: It's as simple as that.

1113
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:38,280
Speaker 2: All right, We're gonna get it done. We're gonna get

1114
00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:40,360
Speaker 2: this show done. We've got a great tweet of the

1115
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:43,040
Speaker 2: Night coming up, a great image from this world series.

1116
00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:46,360
Speaker 2: But first we got to take a quick break. We

1117
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:50,680
Speaker 2: will be right back A right, baby, You're back with

1118
00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 2: no buns. But it's a no Dunks Classics segment. It's

1119
00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:55,480
Speaker 2: tweeted the Night.

1120
00:59:57,200 --> 01:00:05,920
Speaker 3: Tweet out the Knight. Wow Twitt, All right, Joel.

1121
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:08,240
Speaker 2: I was a little disappointed that this showed up on

1122
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:11,000
Speaker 2: the broadcast here in game six because it kind of

1123
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:15,120
Speaker 2: steals the thunder of the tweet of the Night. But

1124
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:18,560
Speaker 2: that's all right, because this goes it's so damn good.

1125
01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:21,360
Speaker 2: It's just so good. We're going back to game five.

1126
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:24,640
Speaker 2: We know Chas McCormick's incredible catch in the bottom of

1127
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:27,760
Speaker 2: the ninth, he hits the wall, he lies on his back,

1128
01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 2: he's looking looking up into the bleachers of his hometown,

1129
01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:37,000
Speaker 2: and then Apparently someone in the stands takes a photo

1130
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:40,080
Speaker 2: of the warning track after he got up, and it

1131
01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:42,840
Speaker 2: looks like this. If you're watching on YouTube, I'll try

1132
01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:47,440
Speaker 2: and explain it. It's the imprint of McCormick's back perfectly

1133
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:51,040
Speaker 2: on the dirt. You can see his number imprinted, his

1134
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:56,120
Speaker 2: arms splayed out of this incredible catch and where he

1135
01:00:56,200 --> 01:00:59,640
Speaker 2: lied and he said after the game it felt like

1136
01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 2: a h if that was the last out of the game,

1137
01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:08,040
Speaker 2: I would have laid there forever. He said that catch

1138
01:01:08,080 --> 01:01:10,360
Speaker 2: will never leave my head. I remember watching that on

1139
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:13,000
Speaker 2: live TV and it was amazing. I'm not sure how

1140
01:01:13,040 --> 01:01:16,800
Speaker 2: he was watching it on live TV, but anyway, he

1141
01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:20,720
Speaker 2: said he saw anger, disappointment, shock when he looked up

1142
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:25,160
Speaker 2: at all those faces, and he said about a dozen

1143
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:28,280
Speaker 2: friends and families were there. He said, I wanted to

1144
01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:31,200
Speaker 2: lay there longer. He also said that it looks kind

1145
01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:35,200
Speaker 2: of fake, but he's gonna frame it either way. So

1146
01:01:35,360 --> 01:01:42,640
Speaker 2: Chas McCormick, Yeah, pretty cool imprint there that his body left.

1147
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:46,360
Speaker 2: It does look fake for sure, but yeah, yeah, I

1148
01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:49,680
Speaker 2: didn't even mention. This photo comes from Traces of Texas

1149
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:52,440
Speaker 2: on Twitter, who was literally apparently there. It wasn't from

1150
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:56,200
Speaker 2: the broadcast. It was somebody hanging over the fence and

1151
01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:59,680
Speaker 2: taking a photo here, so pretty neat. I thought that

1152
01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:02,720
Speaker 2: is cool. Yeah, I guess it got so big that

1153
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:09,360
Speaker 2: they showed it during the broadcast today very quickly. But yeah,

1154
01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:11,720
Speaker 2: kind of kind of steals the thunder. It's not really tweeted,

1155
01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:14,360
Speaker 2: and I it's really tweeted the last few days. But yeah,

1156
01:02:14,440 --> 01:02:18,080
Speaker 2: it still works. Still works, man, it still works. Anyways,

1157
01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:21,440
Speaker 2: that's it for us, Joel, unless you have any final

1158
01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:23,680
Speaker 2: comments here comments concerns.

1159
01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:26,920
Speaker 4: No, I mean I I had fun and task, you know,

1160
01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:30,120
Speaker 4: being on your being on your podcast. It's motivated me

1161
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:32,120
Speaker 4: to start my own baseball podcast.

1162
01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:33,400
Speaker 1: I've got a catchy name.

1163
01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:36,480
Speaker 4: I wanted to run it by you, the baseball, the

1164
01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:42,960
Speaker 4: baseball Joels, Oh.

1165
01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:43,600
Speaker 1: I got you. No, I'm kidding. I wish I had

1166
01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:46,160
Speaker 1: time to do a baseball podcast, but I appreciate it.

1167
01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:47,960
Speaker 1: It's been fun and yeah, this.

1168
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 2: Is disappointed this. Yeah, it's been.

1169

Speaker 4: Fun doing this and this is a great great postseason

1170
01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 4: and you know, I'll miss baseball, but you know we

1171
01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:57,760
Speaker 4: got free agency coming up.

1172
01:02:57,680 --> 01:03:00,520
Speaker 1: And uh yeah, you know when your time.

1173
01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:04,439
Speaker 2: Well, I had I had a lot of fun doing

1174
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:07,480
Speaker 2: the show. I am disappointed that the Basketball Joels will

1175
01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:13,800
Speaker 2: not happen the baseball Jewels. Sorry, man, that's okay.

1176
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:14,360
Speaker 4: I got you.

1177
01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 2: Hey, you can't get mad at me about a name

1178
01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:21,720
Speaker 2: you're not even going to use. That's a good one.

1179
01:03:21,760 --> 01:03:25,800
Speaker 2: That's a good one. And this Hootski comment is what

1180
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:29,400
Speaker 2: it's all about. He said, glad you started the pod.

1181
01:03:29,680 --> 01:03:33,360
Speaker 2: Fun to see you seemingly fall back into love, into

1182
01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:35,200
Speaker 2: your love of the game, and honestly helped me do

1183
01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:38,880
Speaker 2: the same. There's no doubt that's exactly what happened. That's

1184
01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:43,680
Speaker 2: why I started this show. But I want to hear comments, concerns, suggestions,
