1 00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:04,120 Speaker 1: Welcome everyone to the Monday edition of Fair Territory. I'm 2 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:08,320 Speaker 1: Ken Rosenthal, coming from New York City right now getting 3 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,119 Speaker 1: ready for tonight's broadcast of Game three of the Division 4 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 1: series Yankees Blue Jays, Blue Jays leading to nothing. But 5 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 1: of course I want to start off with last night's proceedings, 6 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 1: and particularly the proceedings in Philadelphia, where the Dodgers took 7 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:24,960 Speaker 1: a two games to non lead four to three victory 8 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: over the Phillies. We are steamrolling toward a potential Dodgers 9 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 1: Brewers and LCS, both teams the Dodgers and Brewers leading 10 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 1: their respective division series two games to none, and a 11 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: Dodgers Brewers NLCS would be big market versus small market. 12 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: It would be in the eyes of some referendum on 13 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 1: whether the sport needs a salary cap. But let's not 14 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 1: get into all that just yet. We have some more 15 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: fun to discuss regarding these two series, and of course 16 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: the two American League Division series going on as well. 17 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: The Dodgers all regularly season I found to be frustrating. 18 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 1: I thought they were coasting. I wondered, like a lot 19 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,320 Speaker 1: of people, including their manager Dave Roberts, whether they would 20 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 1: be able to turn it on at the appropriate time. 21 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,119 Speaker 1: I guess we have our answer. They've won nine straight games, 22 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: including the first two of this series, thirteen of fifteen. 23 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,199 Speaker 1: The starting pitching looks like nothing else in the sport 24 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 1: right now, so dominant, and we've seen that in these 25 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 1: first two games in Philadelphia. They took those two. They 26 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: had that frantic bottom of the ninth last night, the 27 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: hold on, which started with Blake trianon kind of an 28 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: odd decision by Dave Roberts, then featured the wheel play, 29 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: of course, but the story of this series so far 30 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: is what Otani has done, and it's what Snell has done. 31 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: As Jason Stark wrote this morning in The Athletic, in 32 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: a span of thirty nine batters at one point, when 33 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: you look at Otani first and then Snell, they allowed 34 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: two hits. Two hits in thirty nine batters. And as 35 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: well as the Phillies have pitched Sanchez and Lozardo, they've 36 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: been outpitched. And the Phillies again in the postseason, are 37 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: struggling offensively. Now. I would suggest that a big reason 38 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 1: they are struggling offensively in the postseason is because the 39 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: Dodgers pitching has been so good. But Turner, Schwarber, and 40 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: Harper right now two for twenty one. You could say 41 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: the Dodgers are kind of in a similar spot Otani's 42 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: one for nine, Otani bets and Freeman just four for 43 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: twenty five combined. But the Dodgers have found a way 44 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: to win these two games. And as we go forward here, 45 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: it's almost difficult for me to imagine any team outpitching 46 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: the Dodgers what they have right now. In addition to 47 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: three brilliant starters, of course, I'm talking about a Tani 48 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: Snell and the game three choice, your Shinobu Yamamoto, who 49 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: will be most likely a top five sal Young finalist, 50 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: We're also talking about a bullpen that, yes has struggled, 51 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: continues to struggle, but it is currently fortified by four 52 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: other are starting pitchers, four Glass now, Kershaw San and 53 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: of course Roki Sasaki, who has emerged as a pretty 54 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: fair closer in recent days. So right now you have 55 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: a situation where the Phillies are scraping. They're going back 56 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: to LA. It's hard to imagine them winning this series, 57 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: of course, And then if the series ends at some 58 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 1: point and the Phillies end up losing, there are gonna 59 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: be a whole lot of questions about the future of 60 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: this team, how they're going to go forward. Schwarber and 61 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: real Muto are free agents. You would think the Phillies 62 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: want them back. They don't have obvious internal replacements. Rob Thompson, 63 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: his manager, I would say he has done a good job. 64 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: He is not the problem. But I would expect if 65 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: the Phillies go out there to be some kind of change. 66 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: So that's Philadelphia and La the Brewers. Last night they 67 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: took it to the Cubs yet again, and we're seeing 68 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: here a big market, small market matchup, of course, and 69 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: the small market team yet again Milwaukee prevailing in a 70 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: big way. They have been the Cubs tormentors for quite 71 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: some time now and it's just continuing in this series. 72 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: So last night, a team that is twenty second in 73 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: the majors in home runs, the Brewers hit three homers, 74 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: including two three run shots, and that was the difference 75 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: in the game. The three run shots by Andrew Vaughan 76 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: and Jackson Curio massive home runs. This is not necessarily 77 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 1: what the Brewers do typically. What they did in Game 78 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,559 Speaker 1: one was more typical, but here they are. They didn't 79 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: even use Quinn Priester in their bullpen game. Yes, that 80 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: was a bullpen game in which they prevailed last night. 81 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: They had hinted in using Priester, but they preserve him 82 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: for Game three and the miss last night, My goodness, 83 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: three scoreless innings, hit one hundred and four miles an hour. 84 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 1: He was absolutely brilliant and dominant and electric. It was 85 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: also fired up. It was really cool to see. So 86 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: the Cubs obviously in deep trouble here. And if your 87 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: Cubs fan, I'm sure sure you're wondering, man, if we 88 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 1: only had Kate Horton, if we only had Justin Steele 89 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: going back further, sure that's fair. But the Brewers are 90 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 1: without Brandon Woodruff, and the Cubs just have not matched 91 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: them so far in this series. From a starting pitching 92 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: or any kind of pitching standpoint, Matt Boyd on three 93 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: days rest in Game one. Never a good idea to 94 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: pitch a guy on three days rest in the postseason. 95 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 1: The numbers are staggering against it, but the Cubs felt 96 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: obviously that was their best option, and then Imanaga in 97 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: Game two. He has allowed a ton of home runs lately, 98 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 1: thirty one in the regular season total that is fourth 99 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 1: in the majors and then even more recently twelve home 100 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,559 Speaker 1: runs in his last six starts allowed. Wasn't a shock 101 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 1: last night to see him allow a few more homers. 102 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: So the Cubs, I don't know how they're going to 103 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: figure this out with the Brewers over time, but here 104 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: are the Brewers, and not counting the COVID season, the 105 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: last time the Cubs finished ahead of them, the last 106 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: time was twenty seventeen. And for the Brewers, if they 107 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: do prevail here, and it certainly looks like they will, 108 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: this will be a huge thing for them because they 109 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: have lost five straight opening round series, four wildcard series, 110 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: and a division series. They have yet to kind of 111 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: break through in this new era of Theirs, this era 112 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: of Council and now crat Murphy. This would be a 113 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 1: big thing. And certainly we've seen them be the best 114 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 1: team in the Majors all season long. It seems to 115 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 1: me now casual fans who might be watching this are 116 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: seeing why they do a lot of things really well. 117 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: Brewers up to nothing in that series. Now the series 118 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: I am on the Yankees and the Blue Jays. We 119 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: go to Game three tonight at Yankee Stadium. The Blue 120 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: Jays have outscored the Yankees twenty three to eight in 121 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: this series, but it has all taken place at Rogers Center, 122 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,159 Speaker 1: where the Blue Jays were absolutely electric and brilliant in 123 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,159 Speaker 1: any other great adjective you might want to use. In 124 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,479 Speaker 1: the first two games. I said this unfair territory yesterday. 125 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: I'll say it again today. I do see a pathway 126 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: for the Yankees to get back in this series. Obviously, 127 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: it starts tonight. Rodin has to beat Shane Bieber, and 128 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: then Game four, the Blue Jays are throwing a bullpen game, 129 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: the Yankees will have Cam Schlitzler that would seemingly favor 130 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: the Yankees. And then Game five back in the Rogers 131 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: Center where the Yankees are one and eight, it would 132 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: be freed In Gossman. And who knows how Ya Savage 133 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: will be used, if at all, in Games four or five, 134 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: coming off his brilliant seventy eight pitch performance on Sunday, 135 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: but he is an option at some point four or five. 136 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: All hands on deck in a Game five, And yes, 137 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: the Yankees would have that Rogers stigma hanging over them 138 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: the one and eight record, But at the same time, 139 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: when you get to that point, if you get to 140 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: that point again, all bets are off, You've got a shot, 141 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens tonight. It is a huge 142 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: test for the Yankees, a huge test for Aaron Judge. 143 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: As I wrote yesterday, Vladimir Guerrero in two days, in 144 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: those games at Rogers Center in two days produced more 145 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: electrifying moments in the postseason than I think maybe Aaron 146 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: Judge ever has the game one homer in the first 147 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: inning for Guerrero, and of course the Grand Slam in 148 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: Game two that turned a five to nothing lead into 149 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: a nine nothing lead. So Yankees obviously in trouble here, 150 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: but again they're coming home as opposed to the Phillies, 151 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: and that gives them something of at least a chance. 152 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 1: I would say. The other series, the final series we 153 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: should discuss here, Mariners and Tigers. This has been an 154 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: interesting series, low scoring, both games decided by scores of 155 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: three to two. The Mariners finally win a postseason game 156 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: at home for the first time since two thousand and one. 157 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 1: They do that in Game two, a game that the 158 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: Tigers had tied up late and easily could have won. 159 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: Didn't work out that way. So now it goes back 160 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: to Detroit, and we'll see what happens here. I am 161 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: not convinced one way or the other that either of 162 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: these teams is going to dominate in the next two games. Tonight, 163 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: we have Logan Gilbert seemingly with a pitching advantage over 164 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,439 Speaker 1: Jack Flaherty, who has been at times brilliant and at 165 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: times inconsistent. So this is a series that it seems 166 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: like it's gonna go more longer than some of the others. 167 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,599 Speaker 1: Certainly when you're tied one to one, that would be 168 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 1: the obvious conclusion. Ken, But with schoolble looming still and 169 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: with the Mariners pitching being what it is, I would 170 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: expect low scoring games to continue, assuming Flowerty tonight is 171 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: going to be the Jack Flowherty we saw at times 172 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 1: in last year's postseason, at times during the regular season, 173 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: but not always in either case. All right, we'll be 174 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 1: right back after this with the inside dish FT fam. 175 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 2: Let's talk about Superpower. Eric Kratz is a proud Superpower customer, 176 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 2: and he's gonna give us more of the personal experience. 177 00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 2: But I'll just start it with this. You ever go 178 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 2: to the doctor in the dots just like, oh, drink 179 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,839 Speaker 2: more water? Are you looking for more data, more of 180 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,199 Speaker 2: a game plan. Superpower does that for you. They give 181 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,599 Speaker 2: you the experience that athletes get with teams. 182 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,439 Speaker 3: Lab. The lab results came back for me. Now it's 183 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 3: streamlines everything that I kind of had an idea of, 184 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 3: but now it really lets me focus on the things 185 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 3: that I'm deficient in, the things that I'm that I 186 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 3: that I have good, good lab test results from. And 187 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 3: I could go in that direction. 188 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 2: I want to go nutritional guidance, supplement suggestions, you name it. 189 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 2: There's so much more info to check out at superpower 190 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 2: dot com and you can lock in the special one 191 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 2: hundred and ninety nine dollars price while at lasts after 192 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:43,559 Speaker 2: you sign up, they're gonna ask you how you heard 193 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 2: about them? Mentioned ft to support the show, Your biology decoded, 194 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 2: your blueprint activated with Superpower? 195 00:10:51,600 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 1: Well where? Well? Well, time now for the ins. I 196 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: dished the part of the show where I talk about 197 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 1: maybe a story I've written, maybe a trend of the game, 198 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,319 Speaker 1: maybe something else entirely. And today I want to talk 199 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 1: about one of the favorite things that I do in 200 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: the television part of my job when I work for 201 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: Fox Sports, and that is interviewing parents. And I believe 202 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: I've mentioned this before on the show, but I just 203 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: take such enjoyment out of it, because really, every time 204 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: you do it, it's in a successful situation for the 205 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: player and the parents. Most often in major league debuts 206 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: is when this happens, they are routinely overjoyed. So on Sunday, 207 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,839 Speaker 1: in Game two, after you Savage pitched five and a 208 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 1: third scoreless innings with eleven strikeouts, hitless innings, I interviewed 209 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: his parents, Dave and Cheryl, up in the stands in 210 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: Rogers Center, and I just kind of want to share 211 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: with you guys how this came about, because this one 212 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: was a little bit different. So again, I've been doing 213 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 1: this a long time now. This is my twentieth year 214 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 1: at Fox. I remember Daniel Nava, Nava coming up in 215 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: twenty ten for the Red Sox, first pitch Grand Slam 216 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: in his first Major league at bat, interviewing his parents. 217 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 1: I remember Cole Tucker when he came up for the 218 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: Pirates in twenty nineteen, hit a home run and interviewed 219 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 1: his parents. That was cool. Twenty twenty two NLCS the 220 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: Nola Showdown between Austin Nola of the Padres Aaron Nola 221 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: of the Phillies interviewed their parents in the stands. All 222 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 1: these things are great. Never interviewed a parent in a 223 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: postseason game when their son's coming off the performance that 224 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 1: trey Y Savage did. And actually, initially this interview was 225 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 1: not going to happen. The morning of the game, I 226 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,679 Speaker 1: contacted the Blue Jays and said, hey, if you Savage 227 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: pitch as well, I would like to interview the parents. 228 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: What do you think Can you tell me the seat 229 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: locations and we'll go from there. And the Jays replied, 230 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: you know what, this is something where we want to 231 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: ask the player first, and we do not want to 232 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 1: talk to you Savage on the day of his start. 233 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: The next time, if you just let us know a 234 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: day in advance, we'll talk to him and we'll see 235 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 1: what happens. That answer frustrated me. I will lie At 236 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: the same time, I did understand it. Now you might say, well, 237 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 1: what's the big deal about asking a player if a 238 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 1: reporter can talk to his parents, But starting pitchers generally 239 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 1: are left alone the day of their starts. And Treya 240 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: Savage was making his fourth major league start, so I 241 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: could understand where the Blue Jays were coming from, and 242 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,599 Speaker 1: I can even understand why they would want his approval, 243 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: because not all players would be comfortable with their parents 244 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: being interviewed. And I can speak for myself here. My 245 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 1: dad has passed away, but if he was ever interviewed 246 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: about me, I would not have been happy about it. 247 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 1: He would have taken things, probably in directions that I 248 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: would not have been comfortable with. So I understood the 249 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 1: whole thing. But then the game is progressing. The Blue 250 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 1: Jays go up nine nothing, they go up eleven nothing, 251 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 1: they go up twelve nothing, and I text an official 252 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: from MLB who was working the series and on the 253 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 1: broadcast sides. He's a sign to really organizing the broadcast 254 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: interviews and different things, and I said, hey, it would 255 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 1: be nice if we can interview Trey Savage's parents, don't 256 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 1: you think And he agreed, and he said, you know what, 257 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,319 Speaker 1: let me ask the Blue Jays and we'll see what 258 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 1: they say. And the Blue Jays said, you know what, Okay. 259 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,439 Speaker 1: They allowed that MLB official to approach the parents in 260 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: the stands ask their permission if I could come up 261 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: there and interview them, and everything from there proceeded. The 262 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: MLB official texted me back and said, we're good. Go 263 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 1: ahead up there. I did that, and I had a 264 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: stage manager, a person down on the field with me 265 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: who knew the ballpark better than I did, got me 266 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: to the seats and you saw what happened if you 267 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: were still watching by that point. Dave and Cheryl were great. 268 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: And what was unusual about this interview different than some 269 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 1: of the others. Usually it's conducted with the parents sitting 270 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: down because the games are I don't know, close, and 271 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: people are watching and they don't want to be standing 272 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: up and blocking the view of others. But in this case, Dave, 273 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 1: you Savage, Trey's dad said, you know what, I want 274 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: everybody up behind me, because there were family members, a 275 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: lot of family members, it seemed like, behind him, and 276 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 1: other people maybe from other Blue Days families as well. 277 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: So everybody stood. Dave stood, Cheryl stood, brother Cole stood. 278 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: He's in college right now, but he was up. They 279 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: had driven up from Pennsylvania for this, and you could 280 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: see the excitement of the parents. Hear the excitement of 281 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: the parents. They gave great answers to the questions. They 282 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: were regular people, as almost all baseball player parents are, 283 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: and it was just a fun interview. So it was 284 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: the kind of thing that kind of makes my job 285 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 1: even more fulfilling. It's always fulfilling, it's always great. But again, 286 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: that is maybe the favorite thing that I do, interviewing 287 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: parents in joyous moments like that. And when you have 288 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: parents who were as down home and as cool as 289 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: Dave and Cheryl were, well, it doesn't get any better 290 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: than that. So that was it. That was the story 291 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: behind that interview. I want to thank, obviously Dave and 292 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 1: Cheryl for being so accommodating with their time and being 293 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 1: willing to do it. I also want to thank the 294 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: Blue Jays for ultimately deviating from their policy, I guess 295 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: you would say, And I want to thank the MLV 296 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 1: official who helped as well. Worked out great, and who knows, 297 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 1: maybe we'll have another moment like that later in the series. 298 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: Maybe Cam Schlitzler's parents will be the next ones that 299 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,119 Speaker 1: we interview. But he's already, i don't know, pretty accomplished 300 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 1: for a major league pitcher. Anyway. That is the inside dish. 301 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: We'll be back with grilling Kin right after this. Ft FAM. 302 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 2: Another reason why you should love Arena Club is the 303 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 2: grading system. So you recently pulled a slap pack and 304 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 2: then you said, hey, it's not great. Great it for me. 305 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 2: They gave you an eight point five out of ten 306 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 2: on your Auto whitey Ford card and then they show 307 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 2: you all the details of the grading system. It's very 308 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 2: interactive within the app, and then you're done. If you 309 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 2: want to sell the card or you want to know 310 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 2: what it's worth, you've got it. 311 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 4: It's like getting taken a school on cards. And I 312 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 4: think that's the coolest part of it. If you're young 313 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 4: or old, you understand, hey, this is how it gets 314 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 4: deciphered all the way through, shows you the numbers and 315 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 4: how they went through it. I think that's the coolest 316 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 4: part about this whole thing. And then you can keep 317 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:06,880 Speaker 4: it traded or sealth or whatever you want. 318 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 2: And it's so much more efficient to do this through 319 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 2: Arena Club.

We'll get to grilling Can in 327 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 1: one second, But first I want to address the ongoing 328 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 1: situation regarding the managerial merry go round. Rick Groley wrote 329 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: about it today for The Athletic and Grid of course 330 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: did an outstanding job as always. It's a very interesting 331 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 1: situation because there are so many jobs open. We've seen 332 00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 1: the Texas Rangers fill their position as expected with Skips Drumacher, 333 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 1: and now it remains to be seen just where these 334 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: other ones are going to go. We've got three interims 335 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 1: still to be decided Colorado. I would expect that to 336 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: be a change because a new general manager is coming 337 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 1: in to replace Bill Schmidt. Washington still has to decide 338 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 1: on Miguel Cairo. Baltimore still has to decide on Tony Mansolino. 339 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: I wrote last week about David Ross and his interest 340 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,959 Speaker 1: in becoming a manager again. And there are two jobs 341 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 1: in particular that I think are the most appealing, and 342 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: maybe three the most appealing right now. The ones open 343 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 1: is Atlanta. I don't know that there's any question about that. 344 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,879 Speaker 1: Most everyone in the game expects the Braves to be 345 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 1: back and back in a big way next season. They're 346 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: going to do some things in the offseason, and they're 347 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 1: also going to be healthier than they were, so I 348 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 1: would expect that job to be one that is highly contested. 349 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 1: I don't know and have no feel really for which 350 00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 1: way Alexanthopolis wants to go. What Weiss is certainly someone 351 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 1: who has managed before. He was on Brian Snicker's staff, 352 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: but I don't know that they want to have that 353 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 1: kind of continuity. They might want to change, and Anthopolis 354 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 1: has not hired a manager in Atlanta. He's had Snicker 355 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: the whole time, so he's going to probably want his 356 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,639 Speaker 1: own guy with his own stamp. That would be my expectation. 357 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:23,919 Speaker 1: Baltimore is another interesting job, and the Orioles, yes, they 358 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: have work to do this offseason. They have to reconstruct 359 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 1: virtually their entire bullpen, and more than anything, they need 360 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: to find the top of the rotation starter that they 361 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 1: didn't get last year. It turns out that Trevor Rodgers 362 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: kind of emerged as that guy in the second half 363 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,119 Speaker 1: of the season, and Kyle Bradish is coming back, So 364 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 1: you've got two top of the rotation types kind of 365 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: in place, but at the same time they need one 366 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 1: more so that's another interesting job San Francisco as well. 367 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,199 Speaker 1: The Giants have some holes to fill. They've got to 368 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,439 Speaker 1: get better in a number of different areas. But it 369 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: seems like Nick Huntley, the former catcher, is favored for 370 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: that job. And that job two is appealing because Buster Posey, 371 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,160 Speaker 1: as President Baseball Operations is going to want to win. 372 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,439 Speaker 1: So we're gonna see how this all plays out in 373 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: the next few weeks. I do expect maybe even more movement, 374 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,160 Speaker 1: especially if the Phillies go out, because then the question 375 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: of Rob Thompson would come up. And I know Yankee 376 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 1: fans are waiting, well, if we get swept, what about 377 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,479 Speaker 1: Aaron Boone. I don't see it. I don't see it 378 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: because of the way this is happening. It's not Aaron 379 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 1: Boone's fault that his team is getting pounded here. It 380 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 1: just happens to be that they've run into a hot club. 381 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 1: But we shall see in the days and weeks ahead. 382 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 1: All right, with that, let's get to grilling can. First 383 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: question comes from Richard Proctor, who asks what are the 384 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: chances of any expansion news this offseason? That, Richard, actually 385 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 1: is a really good question, and I don't know the answer. 386 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: To it. So Rob Manfern's position as commissioner has been 387 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: the whole time, Wait till Tampa Bay and Sacramento, it 388 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,400 Speaker 1: turns out, now gets resolved, Wait till the two franchises, 389 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 1: the A's and the Rays have their stadium issues all set. 390 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,400 Speaker 1: They're not quite there yet, so I would not expect 391 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: an announcement this offseason. Yes, the A's have a plan 392 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 1: they're going to Las Vegas. Construction is underway. The Rays 393 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 1: have new ownership, but they yet or they do not 394 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,479 Speaker 1: yet have a stadium plan in place. So once that happens, 395 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: and I do expect it to happen in relatively short order, 396 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: then at that point I would expect Manford to proceed, 397 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: But not before that, and maybe not before the next 398 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: round of the labor negotiations because that's going to take precedence, 399 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,880 Speaker 1: and the next agreement does not expire until December one, 400 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:42,399 Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. So there's your non answer, But I 401 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: would not expect it to be this offseason. All right, 402 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,880 Speaker 1: next question here, This one comes from Bernie Suarez. Us 403 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,640 Speaker 1: Is Dave Roberts going to finally give in and say 404 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 1: Sasaki is the closer in this case? Bernie, I would say, 405 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 1: it really doesn't matter. Actions will speak louder than words, 406 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: And at some point we're going to see Roki Sasaki 407 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 1: continue on the way he is right now as the closer. 408 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: That's what he is. He came in last night and closed, 409 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: even though he wasn't the initial choice. So yes, perhaps 410 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 1: Dave Roberts says it today on the off day, Perhaps 411 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,159 Speaker 1: he says it going into the next game. Perhaps he 412 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: doesn't say it at all, but just keeps using Sasaki 413 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 1: that way. What matters is that usage, how he actually 414 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 1: goes about the late innings, And I would expect from 415 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,160 Speaker 1: here on out we're going to see a whole lot 416 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: of Rokie Susaki closing. All right, we've got time for 417 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 1: one more. I believe, Okay, is Woodriff going to return 418 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,439 Speaker 1: for the NLCS? This comes from Drew. I would not 419 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 1: expect that. I have not heard much on him lately, 420 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: but my understanding was that he was problematic for the 421 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,679 Speaker 1: rest of the postseason. Now not on that series, and 422 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: I might not have the freshest updated information, but I 423 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 1: would be surprised if Brandon Woodriff came back and to 424 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 1: shift the conversation a little bit to another injury. Bobashet 425 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 1: I was asked about him on FT yesterday and I said, 426 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 1: I don't see him coming back for potential alcs because 427 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: he's still is limping. When I see him in the 428 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: dugout during the games, he's not moving all that well. 429 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: So these questions obviously will be answered as we move 430 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 1: forward here. But we will see if we see either 431 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,640 Speaker 1: of these guys again in the postseason. All right, one 432 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 1: more question or no, let's see, yes, one more? Can 433 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 1: we put the postseason format criticisms to bed? From foul territory? 434 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,879 Speaker 1: This comes well, yes, at least in this case. The 435 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: two teams with the bys, Actually yeah, two teams with 436 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: the bys, the Blue Jays and the Brewers, have played 437 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: exceedingly well coming out of those breaks. The Mariners have 438 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:53,120 Speaker 1: done okay, The Phillies have not, but they've run into 439 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: a better club. So I don't know that we can 440 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,959 Speaker 1: put it to bed. Each team reacts in a different 441 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: way to that layoff. But with the Blue Jays, Guerrero 442 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: has talked quite a bit about this. He's benefited from 443 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 1: the rest. Other players have as well. The Brewers perhaps 444 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 1: were a bigger surprise in that obviously all players need rest, 445 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: but with the style that they play, weren't sure they 446 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 1: could turn it back on again. Yes, they have turned 447 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: it back on again. So really, at this point, at 448 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: least looking at this postseason, the small sample size of 449 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 1: that teams seem to have figured out how to rebound 450 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,879 Speaker 1: from five days off and in some cases clearly it 451 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: has benefited them. All Right, that is it for today's show. 452 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 1: We will be back maybe Thursday, maybe Friday, not exactly 453 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,199 Speaker 1: sure yet, depends on the postseason schedule that show. The 454 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: next one will be with Alana Rizzo in all of 455 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 1: our usual places, YouTube, Apple, Spotify.
