Let's go to lead off. 13 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: It's getting robbed and keep him on. Rob's hot take 14 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: on the three biggest stories in Major League Baseball. Number one, 15 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: The more shocking thing going on in the Baseball Playoffs 16 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: is the play of Jose alt Ray, the former m 17 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: v P man. Is he struggling? I mean he's hitting 18 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 1: home runs because he hit another one in Game three, 19 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,039 Speaker 1: but he also made another Era now has three errors 20 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: in the ALCS, and that era was a big one. 21 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: It sparked a five run sixth inning and helped the 22 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: Raise to a victory and a commanding lead in that series. 23 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: But at two raids, really struggling. He has I don't know. 24 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: They called the yips, the thing where you basically can't 25 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: throw the ball. We've seen people do it. Steve Sacks 26 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: and the Dodgers did it, Chuck nab Block did it 27 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: with the Yankees. Uh. Where where you can't make that 28 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: simple throw from second base, no matter where you're going. 29 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: This is unbelievable to be honest at how bad it is. 30 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: And to see a player of his caliber who struggled 31 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: during the regular season. We know the whole cheating scandal, 32 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: whether or not this is has pressed him or or 33 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: put him in a different state of mind or whatever 34 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: has happened. But he's struggling. And Uh. He had a 35 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 1: chance in uh Game three to kind of make up 36 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 1: four for some redemption in the ninth then and with 37 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: two runners arm but he struck out on a check swing. 38 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: And after the final out he sat there alone at 39 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: the end of the dugout on the bench with his 40 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: chin resting on the rail and motionless. Uh and UH 41 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: as everyone else clear the field, so Jose Al two 42 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: Ray is going through it and it is not pretty 43 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: to watch. Number two. The White Sox are looking for 44 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: a new manager. In fact, there are a few teams 45 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: looking for a new manager. Rick Rentaria and the White 46 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 1: Socks parted ways after they got knocked out of the playoffs, 47 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: so that job is open. The Red Sox haven't opening, 48 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: and so do the Detroit Tigers. But there will not 49 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: be an opening in the Bronx because Yankee ownership has 50 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 1: already said that Aaron Boone will return as Yankee skipper. 51 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: The Yankees made it to the second round of the playoffs, 52 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: of course, lost a Game five to the Tampa Bay Rays. 53 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: People expected the Yankees to make it to the World 54 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: Series with the team that they had. They got off 55 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: to a great start, they swept the Indians, they won 56 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: Game one against the Raised, but then wind up losing 57 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: the series and so it's another year gone body. Yankees 58 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: havn't won the World Series since two thousand nine. But 59 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: Aaron Boone will be back at the helm. Number three. 60 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: Billy Bean, Yes, the architect of Muney Ball, is leaving 61 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: the Oakland A's after thirty years and it's at that 62 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: this time. Did his UH vision or focus on baseball 63 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: and analytics didn't work or did it fail? Was it 64 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: good or was it bad? I'm voting for bad. It 65 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: wasn't good. The A's only won two playoff series during 66 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:28,119 Speaker 1: his thirty years with the team. That's it. So it worked. 67 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 1: During the regular season, they were able to win some games, 68 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,799 Speaker 1: but they never won Jack. Come on, and even that movie, 69 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: how in the world could you make a movie feature 70 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: in Billy Bean and they didn't even win the World 71 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 1: Series At the end of the movie, the movie was 72 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 1: about them winning twenty games in a row. Come on, man, 73 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: So Billy Bean is leaving baseball and going to European soccer. 74 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: All I can say is, don't let the door hit 75 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: you on the way out, Billy Bean. I'm sorry. Number four. 76 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: How about about this baseball injected into the UH Supreme 77 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 1: Court confirmation here? And that's right. Take a listen to 78 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: Ben Sassy, the U S Senator from Nebraska him roasting 79 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: the Houston Astros. I'd like to talk about the Houston 80 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: Astros who are miserable cheaters. Uh sorry Corn and Cruz, 81 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: but both both of the Texas senators sent on this committee. Um, 82 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: but I think all baseball fans know that the Houston 83 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: Astros cheat, um, they steal signs, they bang on cans um, 84 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 1: They've done a whole bunch of miserable things historically, and 85 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 1: they deserve to be punished, probably more than they have been. 86 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: Here comes the big interview listener. What's so cool? All right? Now, 87 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,039 Speaker 1: let's welcome to the podcast. Jerry Harriston Jr. Of course, 88 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: played sixteen years in the major leagues, won a World 89 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: Series with the New York Yankees in two thousand nine, 90 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: and uh now as an analyst for Spectrum Sports Net 91 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: l A. Jerry, Welcome to the podcast. Anytime, Rob, what 92 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: are you doing? Man? Doing good? You know, October baseball 93 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: is upon us and baseball every night. Let's just jump 94 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: into it with the Dodgers. How much did Clayton Kershaw 95 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: being scratched her the Dodgers? And uh, you know, not 96 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: only in Game two, but in this playoff run, Well, 97 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 1: it somebably didn't help, you know, anytime you have your 98 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: unable to to to go Game two, especially where he's 99 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: been throwing the ball, and it certainly didn't help it. Honestly, Rob, 100 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: the biggest thing for us has been our offense. You know, 101 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: offense the first two games in the series. Yes, it 102 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: woke up in the last getting and we gave herself 103 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: a chance to get back in the ball game, but 104 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 1: we just couldn't push that final run to tie the 105 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: game up. In the night, I would say that any 106 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: our offenses that not existent. Uh So I've been really 107 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 1: more concerned about our offense, and I'm hoping that ninthning 108 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: will carry over to the Game three and hopefully answer 109 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: the rest of this series. We know how greater our 110 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: offense has been throughout the season. And if whenever the 111 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: school runs actor who we have on the mound, whether 112 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: it's kurse viewer urus, who's going to Game three, we 113 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: should put ourselves in position toward every ball game. Let 114 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: me you're right about that. Obviously on paper, to Dodgers 115 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: have the best team in baseball. I thought the Dodgers 116 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: and Yankees we're gonna meet in the World Series. The 117 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: Yankees have already gotten knocked out. The Dodgers are in 118 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: a whole uh The Atlanta pitching has has like rewritten 119 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: the playoff books, record books as far as what they've 120 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: been able to do. Yes, the Dodgers woke up, but Atlanta, 121 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: I think something like Jerry had uh had sixty of 122 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: the sixty four innings in which it pitched, had the 123 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: scoreless innings like he scored four times four innings in 124 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: six he four innings. That's incredible in Major League baseball. 125 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: And then it is incredible. But you know, I think 126 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: they're taking an advantage of the high swinging this rate 127 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: that the a lot of major league hitters are at. Now. 128 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: It's a strikeout league. Either get a walk, strikeout or 129 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: a whole run, and they've taken advantage of that. You know, 130 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: him gave one match frade. You tip your hat. He 131 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: was dominant, make no mistake about it. He made one 132 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: mistake to keep Aaronana's and eat a home run with it. 133 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: But other than that, you know, you can't really look 134 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: at a situation where we should have got some runs 135 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: here or there. In Game two, you could, you know, 136 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: the young man's Ian Anderson. He started five walks five 137 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: We had plenty opportunities to push two or three, let 138 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: mean four runs across. He wasn't overpowering. He had a 139 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: pretty good changeup, but I really thought he was more geared. Uh, 140 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 1: I should say, a better matchup for Dodger hitters. Uh, 141 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,599 Speaker 1: then then it showed. You know, I really thought the 142 00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: Dodgers would take it to him last night, but it 143 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: just didn't happen. But Max Fred in game one, you 144 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: took your hat and you move on. But again it 145 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: didn't happen last night. Game two, you gotta, you know, 146 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: move on and figure out a way to win Game three. 147 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 1: Game three is a must win. Our guest is Jerry 148 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: Harriston Jr. Of course, the former Major leaguer and current 149 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 1: Dodger analysts on Spectrum Sports Net. L A. Uh. The 150 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 1: the other part of this is and and you know 151 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: when when teams that have great offensive scuffle in the postseason. 152 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: And there's a long history of that because pitching is 153 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 1: just stops good hitting. It's it's it's part of the game, Jerry, 154 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,199 Speaker 1: But are there are enough grinders in the lineup? And 155 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: there too many just big swingers. Sometimes you gotta grind 156 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: out at bats in the postseason. What is the Dodgers issue? 157 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: You know what the issues? And you're right now I 158 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: would say that percent time you gotta grind out at 159 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: bats continue to work? Are the picture getting tired of? 160 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: I just did that spice the Game one and Game 161 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 1: two they ran the pitch shout up the first couple 162 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: of things, all the starters. But then you get too passive. 163 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,559 Speaker 1: You have to be aggressive in the strike zone. You 164 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: get pitch to hit, you know, especially with the runners 165 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 1: are base in the postseason. If you don't swing at it, 166 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: that may be the last picture you're gonna see in 167 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: that at that to do some damage with it. So 168 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: you have to be very uh, you know, precise as 169 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 1: far as when to pick your spots on when I 170 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 1: need to be aggressive and then when I need to 171 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: work the count. I think the Dodgers hopefully found that 172 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: out late in the game last night, and they will 173 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 1: be more aggressive in the strike zone early in this ballgame. Jerry, 174 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: last thing, I mean, the series has a ways to go. 175 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: It's not over by any stretch of the imagination. But 176 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: can the Dodgers really afford not to make it to 177 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: the World Series with this team? I mean, last year 178 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: was a shocker and Washington wind up winning the World 179 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: Series after they knocked off the Dodgers. But but this 180 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 1: would be I think with the addition to Mookie Betts. 181 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: What happened during the regular season where they totally dominated 182 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: to not get to the World Series, this would be 183 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: a bummer and a big time fail. Well, I'm gonna 184 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 1: speak for on the AFA, Justin Turner, Clayton Kershaw, Kenley 185 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: Jansen and really the rest of the guys. I mean 186 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: they say it all the time. Hey, we know we 187 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: have a smaller window with this group. Harss Clayton Kershaw 188 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 1: is not getting the younger, Kenny Janson is not getting 189 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 1: any other key. Uh. Justin Turner is a free agent 190 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: actor this year, so kernanis, so is Jock Peterson. A 191 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: lot of these guys may not be back next year. 192 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 1: So they feel this is the year they have to 193 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: get it done. So if they feel this, serier, you 194 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: have to get it done. It would be devastating if 195 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,439 Speaker 1: they didn't win the World Series. Forget what get the 196 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: World Series. You have to win the World Series right 197 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 1: now with this group. That's how they feel, wrong, no doubt. 198 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,959 Speaker 1: All Right. His name Jerry Hamston Jr. Jerry Man. Thanks 199 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: for the knowledge. I appreciate you. You know that any time, 200 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: Rob it's time for the Pocket Protector Centrum. The analytic 201 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: numbers you need to know. Well, maybe Anthony Masterson is 202 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 1: his name. BS analytics is his game. What do you 203 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: got from me Anthony in last week's show, I wondered 204 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: what it was going to take to be successful in 205 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: this postseason, small ball or long ball, and judging by 206 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: the first two weeks worth of playoff games, the answer 207 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: is quite clear. Now through the games of Monday, the 208 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 1: thirteenth teams to out homer their opponents this postseason, we're 209 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,199 Speaker 1: wrapping twenty four and one. And it's not just the 210 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: number of homers. It's see all or nothing style taken 211 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: by so many teams that's driving them forward. In the 212 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: last ninety years, there have been only five total post 213 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 1: seasons where at least half of the run scored came 214 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,839 Speaker 1: via the home run, and is fixing the set records 215 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 1: to the first two weeks of playoff baseball, fifty two 216 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 1: point three percent of all run scored have come via 217 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: the long ball. Only one postseason in MLB history has 218 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 1: seen a higher number, ninety six, when thirty one of 219 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 1: the fifty run scored by the Yankees and Brooklyn Dodgers, 220 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: or four percent, came via the diger. The Yankees, by 221 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: the way, won that series in seven games. Yogi beara 222 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: Mickey Mantle each at three home runs on their own. 223 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: Now the Rays are the largest culprit so far, with 224 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 1: nearly eighty percent of their runs being scored on the 225 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 1: wrong ball, which during the regular season that number sat 226 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: around for Tampa. Now, on the other end of the spectrum, 227 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: the Dodgers are under ten percent of their run scored 228 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 1: via the home run in spacious Globe Life Field after 229 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: their Game one lost to Atlanta, when during the regular 230 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 1: season they were second only a Cincinnati sitting at a 231 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: cool fifty one percent. Now, small sample sizes are a 232 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,559 Speaker 1: wonderful thing, but one thing is very clear this postseason 233 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 1: clout is king, and that is it was a big 234 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: week in the Big League? Is foul or is it fair? 235 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: And now here Shadow League dot Com MLB insider JR. Gambo. 236 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: The Dodgers were looking like a team that was destined 237 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 1: to finally get to the World Series and Clayton Kershaw 238 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,199 Speaker 1: was pitching as good as he's ever had in the postseason. 239 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: But a back injury has changed everything. Is it foul 240 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: or fair to say that the Dodgers hopes of getting 241 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: back to the World Series are now in trouble without 242 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: their ace? Jr. Fair, that's a fair ball. I thought 243 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: that this was the year that the Dodgers finally got 244 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: over the World Series home third time? Is the charm? 245 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 1: Isn't that what they'd say? Hey, they have the lineup 246 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: with Mookie, Betts, Fellinger and those other big boppers, and 247 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: Kershaw was pitching as well has he ever had in 248 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: the postseason. But this kind of changes everything. Instead of 249 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: being down one zero but knowing your aces at his 250 00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: best and ready to even up a seven game series 251 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: at won one, the Dodgers have to send the rookie 252 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 1: to the mouth in the crucial spot who should be 253 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: pitching later in the series. Don't count on Kershaw's returns 254 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: because he's been struggling with back problems since two thousand 255 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: sixteen when he had the herniated disk and also missed 256 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: time the following two seasons. What a disaster or disappointment 257 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: it would be for the Dodgers to lose the heart 258 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: and soul of their team, especially at a time when 259 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: the bullpen is failing. You have to ask yourself, is 260 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 1: Dave Roberts jinx is that sowing based against the Yankees 261 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: and World Series with the Red Sox going to be 262 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: his only taste of championship champagne. I do know that 263 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: before the fifth ending homer for the Dodgers in the game, 264 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: won five one loss. Atlanta pitches at her twenty three 265 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: scoreless innings. Over the last big play up games they 266 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: have been zero point nine three e r A. I 267 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: believe that's the best sense of Orioles in eighty three. 268 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: Those big money backs have to get going for l 269 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: A in Atlantic can mash too. So I don't see 270 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: any weaknesses in this great scene right now. It's tough 271 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: for the Dodges to pull this out, and even if 272 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 1: they do advance in the World Series, the cursor is 273 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: not available that can spell trouble. Take out the papers 274 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: in the trash. It's time for trash Talk Twitter twit 275 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: with your chance to trash anyone or anything in Major 276 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: League Baseball.

Seawan had got to the a LCS. 295 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: They were in a big hole. But um, the biggest 296 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 1: story probably out there is what's happened to Jose Altuve? 297 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: And that's where we want to start it. Sean, have 298 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,159 Speaker 1: you seen anything like this? They you know what they 299 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: called it, the yips, the thing where he cannot throw 300 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: the ball. What's happened to Jose Altuve? We're now listening 301 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 1: to Dusty and being indecent. That was a topic, you know, 302 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: all day, all morning, for hours on the show and 303 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: I think what happens is that when it comes from 304 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 1: a guy who has been so highly revered in that city, 305 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: in this city that I'm in in Houston, and has 306 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: really put up Hall of Fame numbers, it's it's you know, 307 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: it's one of those robbed looks like well of the 308 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: fans and to do we criticize him? And I've always said, listen, 309 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: as much as we compliment players, they're not above criticism either, 310 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 1: because this is not personal. The fact of the matter 311 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 1: is is that jud is having a hard time throwing 312 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 1: the ball to first and second base. Yet the series 313 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 1: before he was going fine. Now there is the speculation 314 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,919 Speaker 1: and or the talk that he's a guy who is 315 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 1: so good to his teammates, and this has been a 316 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 1: talk in this city for a couple of months. He 317 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 1: struggled at the plate during the regular season. Robin, We've 318 00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 1: always been you know him, he's always that great hit 319 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,439 Speaker 1: that he's been carrying this burden around that you know, 320 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: with through the cheating cart and the Steelia signs that 321 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 1: if everybody says, well, he didn't do it, yet that 322 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: he cares so much that it has worn on him all. 323 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: You now, whether people believe that or not, that's up 324 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: to them, but that that feeling that well, it's wearing 325 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: on him. He's he's mentally beat down and emotionally beat down, 326 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: and it's affected him not only at the plate, but 327 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 1: now that he's done this and that he wears that 328 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,199 Speaker 1: emotion and it's hard for him to overcome. Now. I 329 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: talked to the GM today, James Click, and he said, 330 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: I don't know if that he goes. I'm not sure 331 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: that's the reason he's pressing he goes the series before 332 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 1: he played good site, he played good second base for it. 333 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 1: So and when I asked if he you know, like 334 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:39,959 Speaker 1: the consideration of would you put him at d H 335 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: and move somebody else, does He's emphatically said no. And 336 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: I get that part you want to let veterans fight 337 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: through it, but you also there's the part of the 338 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: respect factory. Even though winning games matters. I think he's 339 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: been got so many skins in the game and and 340 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: and on the wall as far as trophies and what 341 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: he's done and that Lifetime Achievement Award that I think 342 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,959 Speaker 1: that they would feel it would be disrespectful to him. 343 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: Now if he broached two more balls, then it's gonna 344 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 1: be a bad decision or throws two away? Should I say? 345 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: But yeah, it's been tough, and especially coming from a 346 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: guy who's been so consistent in his whole career, it 347 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: looks like he's mentally tired after this season. It really does, Rob. 348 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:19,120 Speaker 1: It does showan What about the reaction from the fans 349 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 1: in Houston. I mean, obviously they had a great World 350 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: Series when they won in twenty seventeen, and people loved 351 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,479 Speaker 1: the whole thing on how this team was put together. 352 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,439 Speaker 1: They fell in love with the team. And then you know, 353 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,360 Speaker 1: to just hear the way you know, this whole scandal 354 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 1: went down or the talk of it. Uh, were people 355 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,919 Speaker 1: kind of indifferent about them making it this far? Or 356 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:48,360 Speaker 1: were they embracing the team? Well? From this is a rob, 357 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: I know this is a football state'd be I mean 358 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: you wouldn't be, but people would be shocked to know 359 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 1: that when you're up, for instance, we bring up out 360 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: today's name today and you can't keep people off the phones. 361 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 1: I mean they this is a baseball town. And maybe 362 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,400 Speaker 1: it's because with Bill O'Brien and now he's not here, 363 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 1: but they haven't trusted the football team. They've trusted the 364 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: baseball team, and now that they're winning there, they feel 365 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: like this is the franchise. He gives them the best 366 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,159 Speaker 1: chance every year. Well, you know, after the scandal, then 367 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 1: they went through it in the offseason, and you know 368 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 1: how he is. People get sensitive when you question even 369 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 1: when it was self inflicted. And it was self inflicted. 370 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: And then when you go through all those emotions, well 371 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,919 Speaker 1: every other team was doing or other teams were. You 372 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,400 Speaker 1: go through the excuse making too, the confidence, to the swagger, 373 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: to the fighting back, all those things. We'll head the 374 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 1: end of this year with Covid kicking in and and 375 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,400 Speaker 1: the Verlander then going you know, not pitching, and Garrett 376 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,640 Speaker 1: Cole signing elsewhere and going through I think the expectations 377 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: will high because there's a sense of swagger in this town. 378 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 1: You feel like at times, and I mean this sincerely, 379 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 1: that you were talking about a team like the Yankees, 380 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,399 Speaker 1: who's ny seven banners after winning a World Series and 381 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: three now four straight American League Championship Series. There's a 382 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: swagger in this town of a team that's like history. 383 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: I mean that's how they think, and that's okay. These 384 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: fans have been so long without a I mean they 385 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 1: went after Bagdoll and Visio, they struggled with a hundred 386 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 1: lost seasons, So there's this feeling of pride, like see, 387 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,959 Speaker 1: we told you so, and then this season comes up. 388 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 1: And I've said it on my show when people said it, 389 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: I didn't expect this. I didn't expect them to get 390 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,159 Speaker 1: this far. And I think for some fans it's like 391 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,719 Speaker 1: that middle finger, like, see, well we went farther than 392 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: the Yankees, or we would farther. Nobody thought we'd be here. 393 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: See we're not just a trash can, you know, beating 394 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 1: the trash can. We were good before it, and we're 395 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 1: going to be good after it. So there's a sense 396 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 1: of pride, a sense of uh insecurity, a sense of 397 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 1: fight back, all those things that go with emotions. And 398 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: I completely understand it, but I don't think many people, 399 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:40,160 Speaker 1: even some people within that organization, did not expect. After 400 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: COVID and injuries and the way they were struggling swinging 401 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,919 Speaker 1: the bat and the controversy coming out of it, nobody 402 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 1: expected them to get by Minnesota, let alone going into 403 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 1: the As who won the division. Yet they still think 404 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 1: they're the best team in the division. But they just 405 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,640 Speaker 1: thought they went too much and I think right now 406 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: there's a sense of pride that they've got to this 407 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: point even though they're down oh and for and there's 408 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,719 Speaker 1: a sense there's some that still are semi delusional, like 409 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: we all aren't times about that they're gonna win fourth straight. 410 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,959 Speaker 1: I guess it could happen, but this team takes a 411 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 1: lot of pride in the Houston Astros, and they will 412 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 1: fight back because anytime go on Twitter, you can you 413 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: see it all the time. When you say something about 414 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,400 Speaker 1: the Astros, they will battle you sentllly, it doesn't matter 415 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 1: what went on. So I give them a lot of 416 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 1: credit for rallying behind their team. But there's a sense 417 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: of sensitivity should I say about their team and when 418 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,119 Speaker 1: you talk about their players, because they feel like we 419 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 1: don't get treated like the Dodgers of the Yankees, of 420 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 1: the Red Sox, and they feel in Houston like over 421 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 1: the last four years they should because of their performance, 422 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 1: notwithstanding two thousand and seven team. But I think that's 423 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 1: proud of their team and they still think they've got 424 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,400 Speaker 1: a chance. But I think they also realized the reality 425 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 1: is kicking in and down oh three against the best 426 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: team in baseball this year is a is a tough 427 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: hill decline.

Here's the latest reason why baseball 436 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 1: is better than the NBA in the NFL.
