What are 40 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 2: you doing that? Just relax? 41 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: Got a long road ahead, long winding road through the overnight, 42 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: so we have plenty of time and a blank canvas 43 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: to paint a word mosaic in the darkness here. But 44 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 1: we begin with the Baseball Playoffs Divisional Round Game number two, 45 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: Game number two in the National League. Now, I'm gonna 46 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: start with the early game, because that was the better 47 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: game at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, the original capital 48 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: of the United States of America. Kyle Schwarber, the fighting fails, 49 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 1: looking to square things up against the Doyers and get 50 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: some good vibrations going against that shoey O Tani and 51 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: the Dodgers, obviously a tony pitchting game went and pitch 52 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: that great in Game one. Didn't do much of anything 53 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: with the bat. But the Dodgers, with that massive dream 54 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 1: team lineup that didn't play like that. They were chronic 55 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: underachievers during the regular season, but they did win Game one. 56 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: Trying to go up to Oh, I don't know if 57 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: you were watching or not. 58 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 2: Maybe not. 59 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: We watched so you would not have to because possibly 60 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: we get paid to watch. So that's what we watched. 61 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 2: But we did watch. 62 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: And Blake Snell, Hey, that's my guy, you know it. 63 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: Me and Blake's and we go back many many years. 64 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: Blake Snell, I'm not playing us, I get mine, brow 65 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: that Blake. 66 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 2: Snell, I'm unless I get mine. 67 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, he struck out nine over six, shutout. Hey, listen, 68 00:03:58,520 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: the guy look good. What do you want to say? 69 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: How I think he's a douche? But he looked good. 70 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: And one hit ball for the Doyers and then the 71 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: bullpen barely barely held on by the skin on their 72 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: chinny chin chin the ninth inning rally a four to 73 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: nothing lead. They almost gaged it, but they did not, 74 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: So La gets the win. The Dodgers the good guys, 75 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 1: four to three. They get to win over the Phillies. 76 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: In Game two of the National League Divisional Series, shoel 77 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: Tani did have a ribby single and that was his 78 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 1: first hit in the series. That part of that four 79 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 1: run seventh inning. Will Smith, the fresh Prince of bel Air, 80 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: got it done as well, two run single, and the 81 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:42,799 Speaker 1: reigning World Series champion Dodgers have a two nothing lead. 82 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: It is not a best of seven, it is a 83 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: best of five. They are two to zero in Pennsylvania. 84 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: The Phillies are in serious trouble at this particular point. 85 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 2: It's only a best of five. 86 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 1: Dodgers can advance in their seventeenth National League Championship Series 87 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: with a Game three win back in Los Angeles on 88 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: Wednesday night in downtown LA and parking will cost you 89 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: eight hundred dollars. Good luck, all right, So let us 90 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 1: discuss the question better store in the losing locker room? 91 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: So who is to blame? Who is to blame for 92 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: Bryce Harper's Phillies being on the brink of elimination. It 93 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 1: was not supposed to be like this for the fight 94 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 1: in phillis now my thoughts on this. I've got minecraft, 95 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: grand Canyon and Captain's chair, and we will combine all 96 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 1: of these things together and we are going to make 97 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: some grilled chicken and rice, which I'm told is healthy, 98 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: and not that it's great. 99 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 2: I mean, you've got to have food fried, but I'm 100 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 2: told that's healthy. 101 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: Anyway, my first thought on this is what a humiliation 102 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: situation for the Philadelphia Phillies to be in this situation. 103 00:05:55,200 --> 00:06:00,040 Speaker 1: The Phillies, the self proclaimed team of destiny, that this 104 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: was the team that had been hanging around the last 105 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: couple of years, and they went for it. They went out, 106 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: they pumped up the tires on the bullpen, and they 107 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: were ready, ready for the Dodgers, and this roster, all 108 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: those big bats, a powder keg of passion the phil 109 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,840 Speaker 1: and we do like the way the Phillies play. They're 110 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,359 Speaker 1: a fun team to watch. They've got an edge to 111 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: their game, and they like to claim their blue collar 112 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: heroes in South Philadelphia. Of course they're all tremendously overpaid, 113 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: spoiled athletes, but they pretend they do cosplay like their 114 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,799 Speaker 1: blue collar heroes. And they're circling the drain right now. 115 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: And the problem for the Phillies, I call it an 116 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 1: I ninety five problem for the Philadelphia Phillies. And now 117 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: what does that mean? The arrow is pointing towards the 118 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: headliners for the Philadelphia Phillies. It's like Minecraft dungeons, a 119 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 1: starless night, or in this case, a couple of starless 120 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 1: nights for the Philadelphia Phillies. You do the cross check 121 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: la cross examination on the Phillies. You got Bryce Harper 122 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: over here, Trey Turner and Kyle Schwarber, the big three 123 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: right there, and they are hitting I ninety five. Actually 124 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: not E hitting I ninety five. They're hitting ninety five. 125 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: They're in the first two games, they've had twenty one 126 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: at bats. They're two for twenty one. Now, I didn't 127 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: play professional baseball, but that sucks. Two for twenty one, 128 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: eleven strikeouts from those three the top bats in the 129 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: Phillies lineup eleven strikeouts and twenty one at bats one 130 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: run bat at in that Trey Turner, a former Dodger, 131 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: in the National League Divisional Series. So they were promoted. 132 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: The billing was fire crackers. The Phillies bring the fire crackers, 133 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: and instead they're wet matches. That's what they brought. They've 134 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: brought wet matches here. And it's been the same movie 135 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: for the Phillies in this this run. They've had good 136 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: regular season teams and it's not over. We'll explain why. 137 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: It's clever. Yeah, but this is looking particularly good at 138 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: this point, same cast, and it looks like we're heading 139 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: towards the same ending, barring a dramatic rewrite in the 140 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: writer's room. Here, the Phillies, who live on those good vibrations, right, 141 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: a very loud, high volume crank it to eleven. The 142 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: fans are insane. Citizens Bank Park. 143 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 2: I've been there. 144 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: It's a beautiful ballpark, great environment for baseball. The greatest 145 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: mascot in sport, the Philly fanatic running his fat ass 146 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: around there having fun. And that is supposed to be 147 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 1: Citizens Bank Park, a cathedral of intimidation, a house of 148 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: horrors for the opposing team to go into Philadelphia with 149 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: all the lunatic, trunk Neanderthal fans and that ballpark. And 150 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 1: yet you stop and you look around. The Philadelphia Phillies 151 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,559 Speaker 1: there have lost I believe the numbers five of their 152 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: last six postseason games at home at what happened to 153 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: Red October? Where did that go that? Where's that mystique 154 00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: of the Philadelphia Phillies. Well, I guess the question is 155 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: does the idea of home field advantage mean something anymore? 156 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 2: Now? In baseball? 157 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: There's something there that you only get in football, where 158 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: you have a dramatic competitive advantage. You are if you're 159 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: the home team, you are able to close the game 160 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: out at home. You have the advantage because the road 161 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: team bats first, you bat second, and so there's a 162 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: little more of an advantage knowing what you need to 163 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: do in the late innings. I would argue the road 164 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: team has more of an advantage early in the game. 165 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: And if you can score early and play with the lead, 166 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,199 Speaker 1: you put the pressure the pendulum of pressure swings back 167 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 1: to the home team. But there's a legitimate advantage there. 168 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 1: The ballparks are a little different in baseball, not as 169 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 1: much as they used to be, but it's a little different. 170 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: The only other thing in football you have warm weather 171 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: dome team cold weather, But the NFL is trying to 172 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: deball all the cold weather teams and eventually they'll only 173 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: be like a three cold weather outdoor stadium because Chicago's 174 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: going to get most likely eventually was talk they're going 175 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: to get a dome. I've seen different drawings of the 176 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: stadium they're going to build at the racetrack in suburban Chicago. 177 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: Cleveland wants a dome. You do have Buffalo, who's building 178 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,559 Speaker 1: a new stadium will be outdoors in Green Bed. 179 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 2: There'll be a few outdoor teams. 180 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: But for the most part, talking me domes or warm 181 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: weather teams, and so that was always an advantage. 182 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 2: But when you look at the just the we're not 183 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,679 Speaker 2: back in my damn the old guy story. 184 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: So when I was a kid, but I've always heard 185 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,839 Speaker 1: these stories about players being rattled. 186 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 2: Like in Philadelphia, you go there and you be rattled by. 187 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: A bunch of old dudes wearing Randall Cunningham jerseys and 188 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,679 Speaker 1: you know, chucking hot dogs on the field and all 189 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: that stuff. But like the whole Philly fan thing where 190 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,439 Speaker 1: they will eat you alive, they will eat you alive 191 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: in Philadelphia, that's just a myth. It's just a myth, 192 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 1: and you can't weaponize it anymore. I remember when I 193 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 1: was watching the great Dick Stockton on Sibis and Pat 194 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: O'Brien who worked here at Fox Sports Radio and the 195 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 1: Progressive at the half there at CBS above the Boston Garden, 196 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,959 Speaker 1: and I remember watching this as a kid when the 197 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: Lakers and Celtics played, and I was young, and they 198 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: used to talk about all the wonderful things that Red Arbach, 199 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 1: this old executive of the Celtics, would do with the 200 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: old Boston Garden my home court advantage there, from shutting 201 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: off the hot water to turning up the heat in 202 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: the summer and to make it colder in the winter, 203 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: getting brown sludge, that brown tapwater sludge in the showers, 204 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 1: like all that stuff just to kind of mess with 205 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 1: the other team, Right, and so that doesn't happen. You 206 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 1: don't do that anymore. Right, the visiting players show up, 207 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 1: they get a police escort, to wherever they're playing, and yeah, 208 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: they play in front of forty thousand drunks if they're 209 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 1: playing a baseball game or whatever. But then they go 210 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 1: back to the Ritz Carlton, and they're never really worried 211 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,199 Speaker 1: about anything. Right, they have all the creature comforts, that's 212 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: what they have. 213 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 2: Everything. It's not hostile, it's not. And so we're living 214 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 2: in this era where you've got. 215 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: The charted flights, the these major League baseball clubhouses, all right, 216 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 1: and this is one of things. When I started, they 217 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: still had crap house visiting clubhouses in baseball, Like they 218 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 1: were really crappy, every clubhouse in Major League Baseball because 219 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 1: the union, the players Union, just complained it's like walking 220 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: into the presidential suite. It's a penthouse. It's not a clubhouse. 221 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:34,959 Speaker 1: It's a penthouse, and everyone's pampered. You're really struggling on 222 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 1: the road when you're soaking in eucalyptus steam rooms, you know. 223 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 2: It's really difficult. It's so bad. 224 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: So again, and when your own stars stop producing, there's 225 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,439 Speaker 1: really no external excuse. And these were at home games 226 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 1: usually not road games. Bryce Harper, you don't love the 227 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 1: body language, big body language guy from Bryce Harper, trade Turner, 228 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:00,959 Speaker 1: how's he's seen ohas or something like that. 229 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 2: I don't know. 230 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: And Kyle Swarber, it does appear he's trying to hit 231 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: a ten run home run every time. 232 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 2: He comes up. 233 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: I don't think as possible. Boy, that would be cool 234 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: for the Phillies. If he hit a ten run home run, 235 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: that would be pretty pretty neat. But the team, it's 236 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,199 Speaker 1: supposed to be a gritty team, the Phillies. You know, 237 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,199 Speaker 1: they're all a bunch of multi millionaires, but they're a 238 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 1: gritty team, lunch pill outfit. And right now they are 239 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,680 Speaker 1: the seat fillers at their own concert. There. They're they're 240 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 1: done with the regular season, the playoffs. Now, they didn't 241 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 1: get to this point because they had the the buy 242 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: and all that. And they're dancing. You know, it's dancing 243 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: on my own crying alone. That's the vibe there. Now, 244 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 1: all that said, the Phillies are not dead. 245 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 2: They are now. Listen. 246 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: I want the Dodgers, the one you know that some 247 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: of you think I don't, but I do. I'm not 248 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 1: a Dodger hate or anything like that. I'm just a 249 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 1: realist and you're all a bunch of fanboys. But here's 250 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: the point, the Phillies are not dead yet. 251 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 3: Now. 252 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: Teams, if you look at the numbers, teams that have 253 00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: taken a two nothing lead in the best of five 254 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,199 Speaker 1: postseason have won eighty of ninety times. That works out 255 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: to eighty eight point eight percent. Eighty eight point in 256 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 1: on your FM do sounds like a college radio station 257 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 1: and fifty four sweeps, So. 258 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 2: That tells you what has happened, not what's going to happen. 259 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 1: And if the Phillies can steal the game on Wednesday, 260 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: win that game, they flip the script. Now all of 261 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: a sudden, the pressure start shifting to the Dodgers not 262 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 1: to f this thing up and have to go back 263 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: to a Game five in Philadelphia, even though they won 264 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: two there, to have to win with that ragtag bullpen 265 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 1: to go back to the Delaware Valley. 266 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 2: So it's really just a one game thing. 267 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 1: The Phillies win, and then all of a sudden things 268 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: change around quite a bit, and it's like the Phillies 269 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: found their pulse, and you don't want them to find 270 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 1: their pulse because you know what that means there and 271 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: now it is a faint pulse. Even if they win, 272 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: it's a faint pulse. And all that stuff, But this 273 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: is all about execution. That's always about execution. And the 274 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: Stars haven't been better in the moment. And it's not 275 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 1: like Otani, he was not good in Game one on 276 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: the mound or at the plate, and you know better 277 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 1: here although not great. And the Philly Stars, though, they're 278 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: the ones that have failed to shine the brightest now 279 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: turning the patriot. As far as the Dodgers are concerned, 280 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 1: the question here is, and I was getting peppered with. 281 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: I don't go on social media much, but people in 282 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: my real world, you know, not the fake people in 283 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: social media, but the real people were. 284 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 2: Like, oh, you were wrong about the Dodger bullpen. 285 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: They're up for nothing. I was getting I looked at 286 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: my phone. I was like, oh boy, you're an idiot. 287 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: Suddenly those people stop sending me text messages. When the 288 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: Dodgers bullpen came in, there the parade of the losers, 289 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,479 Speaker 1: the parade of terribles. 290 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 2: There, but the Dodgers didn't win. 291 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: So have the Dave Roberts Dodgers now two and ohero 292 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: in the NLDS? Have they solved their bullpain blues at Schufvezravine. 293 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 2: So I am shaking my head. 294 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: No, if you're watching on the YouTube feed there and 295 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: if not, you can watch it later Ben Mahler Show 296 00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: at Ben Maler Show on YouTube. 297 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 2: I'm going to that is. 298 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: What's called a WT situation. Wishful thinking is what that is. 299 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 1: The Dodgers are exactly who we thought they were. And 300 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: if you want to crown them, crown their ass right. 301 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: They've got a bunch of star power, but there's a 302 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 1: soft underbelly. They're Superman with kryptonite. We know what the 303 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: kryptonite is. You poke him in the. 304 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 2: Gut and it jiggles. Jack Jackal Jagal. That's a bullpin. 305 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: Dave Roberts and boy, you talk about Roberts came this 306 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: close to being kicked out of LA if they had 307 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: blown that gid. Dave Roberts got cute right now the 308 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 1: front office. These guys are the smartest people in the room, 309 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: playing with matches and gasoline. That's the Dodgers right there. 310 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: Roberts try to get cute. I'm gonna bring in Blake Trining, 311 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: Blake Who's head. 312 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 2: Die die diarrhea? For how many months? 313 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna bring in Blake Trining like he's gonna be 314 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: my secret weapon. Like it's two years ago and I'm 315 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: only bring Blake Trining in there, and instead he was diffuse. 316 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 1: That sparked the Phillies comeback. And the only reason Roberts 317 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: isn't being tarred and feathered right now is because the 318 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: Dodgers held on and won and he gets a mulligan 319 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 1: because that's how it works, and the box score says 320 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,159 Speaker 1: at W and so the fact that it was systemic 321 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: incompetence by again, Roberts is just the middle manager. We 322 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,200 Speaker 1: know he's not really doing anything that the front office 323 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,400 Speaker 1: doesn't want. But deep down, the Dodger fan, the real 324 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: Dodger fan, they know the truth. Right that bullpen they 325 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: are the flying will lend us that's a data reference, 326 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: but go with it all right. Every night they are 327 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 1: wobbling on a tight rope over the Grand Canyon, just waiting, 328 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: waiting to slip on that wire. And there's no net, right, 329 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 1: there's no net, And you can feel it coming right now. Listen, 330 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 1: there's a great shape against the Phillies. 331 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 3: For now. 332 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 2: You hear the music and you see the balancing pole 333 00:17:58,640 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 2: kind of shaking a little bit. 334 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 1: The ween gusts up there. Those middle relievers come in 335 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 1: the era explodes. So I don't think anything's been sold 336 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 1: because my position was the they're pitching starting pitchers in 337 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: the bullpen and they're avoiding the actual bullpen. 338 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 2: It's that bad. 339 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 1: They actually agree with that. The Dodgers agree with me. 340 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: They say, you know what, Mallory, you're right. Our relievers blow. 341 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: It's the starters we got to bring in. And yet 342 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: even in this game they got cute. And so the 343 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 1: Dodger bullpen has an underlying condition, all right, they do. 344 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: It's a nightly death defying stunt. Hide the women, hide 345 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: the children. Dave Roberts is the guy who's he didn't 346 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 1: have a safety net and the only safety news to 347 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: bringing these starters. And then even he didn't, he didn't 348 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: bring Sazaki in and he messed around with that. All right, now, quickly, 349 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 1: last thing, we go to Milwaukee, the other half of 350 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,120 Speaker 1: the bracket in the National League, where if you turn 351 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: on the game very early, the Cubs had an early lead. 352 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,360 Speaker 1: They're up three to nothing over the Brewers, and then 353 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 1: they had to play the rest of the game. Andrew 354 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: Vaughan and Jackson Turio each shiit three run home runs, 355 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: and William Contreras also a solo shot. The Brewers not 356 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 1: known for their home run power, but they on this 357 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: day they did get it done. 358 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:14,719 Speaker 4: There. 359 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 1: They come back down three to nothing, the brew Crew 360 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 1: get a seventy three win, and now they are one 361 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: win away. 362 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 2: From a rematch. 363 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: This was a rematch in the NLCS about seven eight 364 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 1: years ago, Dodgers and the Brewers, and the series now 365 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 1: shifting to Wrigley Field for Game number three. That'll be 366 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 1: on Wednesday as well. The better story in the loser's 367 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: locker room. So who gets to eat the blame cheese kurds? 368 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 1: Because you're in Wisconsin for the Cubs who lost to 369 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: the Brewers. So this one's easy. It's Imanaga showed it 370 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 1: to him. Naga, the starting pitcher here for the Cubs, 371 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: the ace, who I believe watching this game and I 372 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 1: was slipping back and forth from the Monday night game 373 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: in this game, but watching him, he melted faster than 374 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 1: some fresh cheddar in an air fire on a hot pretzel. 375 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 1: Just melted, just absolutely melted. You jumped back to a 376 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: three to nothing lead, and Suzuki hit a rocket early 377 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 1: on for the Cubs. You got, you know, feeling pretty 378 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: good right there. You're thinking, great, crowd's kind of buzzing 379 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 1: back home. There's a lot of cub fans in Milwaukee 380 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: because it's not that far away from Chicago. And everyone's excited. 381 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,479 Speaker 1: I know our guy's tree, Eugene, you Foemi. They're all 382 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 1: fired up there and this you got your so called stopper. 383 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 1: You got your number one picture on the mound there 384 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: and it was like a kid's birthday party pinata. 385 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 2: You get a hit, you get to hit. 386 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 1: Imanaga was in the captain's chair and he was writing 387 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 1: the Vomit Comet. He wrote the Vomit Comet and the 388 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 1: just completely helpless. The Brewers played Yatzi with Immenaga in 389 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: this game. 390 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 2: And so there you go. So here we are. 391 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: It's October baseball. You need your ace, generally speaking, you 392 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: need your ace to go more than a couple of innings. 393 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: Eat some innings, be like Joey Chestnut and scarf down 394 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:04,640 Speaker 1: all the hot dogs, the glizzy gobbler and no instead. 395 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: Imanaga was nibbling, he was sweating. He was pressing forty 396 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: six pitches. You get a free nothing lead. Your ace 397 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:16,360 Speaker 1: goes forty six pitches. Good afternoon, good evening, and good night, 398 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 1: and bye bye. See you later there. So another team 399 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,399 Speaker 1: the Cubs says, somebody you said, hey, the Cubs are 400 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 1: just built different and all that. I don't see it. 401 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,679 Speaker 1: That appears to be false advertising for the Cubs at 402 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 1: this point here. It does look more like they're built 403 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 1: for day games in May against the Pirates and not 404 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: primetime in October. There and we'll talk more. I'm sure 405 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:38,120 Speaker 1: if the Cubs do lose this on Wednesday about Craig Council, 406 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 1: and people will be celebrating the demise of Craig Council 407 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 1: as a Wisconsin guy. And he took the money and 408 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,880 Speaker 1: went down to Chicago to coach the Cubs and his team. 409 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,360 Speaker 1: The Cubs are getting pantsed right now by his old team. 410 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 1: So the Brewers look very relaxed. Why wouldn't. You're up 411 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 1: to nothing in the series. The Cubs look a little constipated. 412 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,440 Speaker 1: There's some pill you can take. 413 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 2: There's a pill. 414 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 1: There's also a drink that you can take to get 415 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 1: rid of that here. But Council he left for the money, 416 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 1: so it's not like if it is really worried he 417 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,239 Speaker 1: was with State of Milwaukee. He left because he got 418 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 1: a bag from Chicago, became the highest paid management in baseball, 419 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: and that's the same thing you would have done. I 420 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: would have done, we all would have done. Not worried 421 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 1: about winning. He's in I can win in Chicago, he's 422 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. He's like, yeah, find the Brewers can win. 423 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,679 Speaker 1: But I'm still getting paid and I can you get 424 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: that money in Milwaukee.

So the sharps are on the Mariners, whatever 489 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 1: that's worth. And the public also in favor, although it's 490 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 1: much more. The money's much bigger than the numbers we 491 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: have in favor of the Mariners in that game. That 492 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,719 Speaker 1: is the early game, right, that's the early answer, four 493 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,959 Speaker 1: o'clock eastern, one o'clock Pacific game. I believe that's accurate. 494 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: Logan Gilbert versus Jack Flaherty.

The left handed Yankees are favorite 498 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 1: in that game, and they are getting most of the 499 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 1: the moulah in favor of them.

I mean, 591 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 1: it's embarrassing these they sell regular season season ticket packages, 592 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 1: and most of these guys, in terms of the starting pitching, 593 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 1: they don't show up for three or four months during 594 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: the regular season. Mookie Betts was there and didn't show 595 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 1: up for three or four months of the regularzation.

Kobe came 614 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 1: to the Lakers on Draft Night, played twenty seasons, gave 615 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,960 Speaker 1: us five titles. He and Magic are the most beloved 616 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 1: Lakers ever. Lebron isn't even close. 617 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 2: Yeah not. Somebody's email me, You're gonna do a monologue 618 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 2: about Lebron's decision. No, I'm not.

Knowing Lebron like 623 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 2: there was some partnership with somebody. 624 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 1: Is gonna be some announcement coming down on Tuesday from Lebron, 625 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 1: and it'll likely happen while I'm sleeping. I'll wake up, 626 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,440 Speaker 1: I'll react to it, and we'll go on with my life. 627 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,920 Speaker 1: I'm not going to stop my life, and I don't 628 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 1: know anyone else is either.

I went to training camp, and I just 631 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 1: the idea of playing with DeAndre Ayton. It makes me 632 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 1: want to puke in my mouth and I don't. 633 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 2: Want to play. 634 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: I'm out, I'm done. I just want to pass the 635 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,480 Speaker 1: baton to Luca and that's it. And Gil, you'd be 636 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 1: okay with that in San Diego. And so I all right, 637 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 1: it's go to the phones. A slo to the sports genius. 638 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 1: Who's in LA? 639 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 2: What's up? Sports genius? Welcome? 640 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 8: Well, well here we are again big bands.

And we don't know if Dave Roberts 644 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 8: has the mojo, but he's surrounded by a lot of 645 00:33:56,160 --> 00:34:00,640 Speaker 8: high end players with a high payroll. Bail them out 646 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 8: all the time on that freaking dugout because our bullpen 647 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:09,360 Speaker 8: is sketchy to say the least. But ken Dave Roberts 648 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:13,759 Speaker 8: manage that sketchy bullpen. That's the question every Dodger fan 649 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 8: I know has.

Well, here's what the 655 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 1: Dodgers do. It's a great stretchy. If you have a 656 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 1: five run lead or four run lead, they're fine. If 657 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,920 Speaker 1: it's a one run lead and they've got to go 658 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,240 Speaker 1: through multiple relief pitchers, they're cooked. 659 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 2: I agree, that's the way I look at I don't 660 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 2: think there's any of us. 661 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,640 Speaker 1: And I like the fact that the Dodgers are giving 662 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 1: me take validation by bringing in all these starting pitchers 663 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 1: and the relief pitchers are not using and they look 664 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,880 Speaker 1: they use relief pitchers in this game. Well, Blake Trining 665 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:57,800 Speaker 1: came in there and puked all over the mound. But 666 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 1: they brought in starting pitching and that's what. But that's 667 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 1: the way to go because those guys at least don't 668 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,800 Speaker 1: have a track record of failure abject failures like the 669 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:07,000 Speaker 1: relief pitchers for the Dodge. 670 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:12,359 Speaker 9: Well, what do you think about Rokis Sasaki and Yamamoto? 671 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,239 Speaker 8: I mean those guys, I like both of them. 672 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,160 Speaker 3: I also like Showhey, but I don't know if they're 673 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 3: gonna if they're gonna rotate him more on the mound 674 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,120 Speaker 3: or they're gonna use his bat more than anything. 675 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:22,399 Speaker 2: Yeah. 676 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,439 Speaker 1: Well, listen, Yo Yamamoto's great. He's been wonderful. I don't 677 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 1: know what you want me to say. He's been great. 678 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 1: He should be wonderful on Wednesday. But the problem is, 679 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,040 Speaker 1: you know, Aaron Nola's pitching for the Phillies. He's pretty good, 680 00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,400 Speaker 1: So it's gonna be you'd think, a close game and 681 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 1: then you're gonna get into the seventh eighth inning, you're 682 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:40,560 Speaker 1: gonna have to go to your bullpen. So are you 683 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:42,840 Speaker 1: gonna go to relief pitchers? You're gonna bring in starting pitching. 684 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:45,520 Speaker 1: I would bring in starting pitching. I would just run 685 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,359 Speaker 1: through all my other leftover starting pitchers. I think that's 686 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,240 Speaker 1: what they're playing anyway, that's what they're gonna do because 687 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,920 Speaker 1: everyone knows the bullpen, the actual real relief pitchers are 688 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:55,879 Speaker 1: incompetent and they can't get it done. 689 00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 9: So anyway, well, I said, it's so really good to 690 00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,399 Speaker 9: go to Philly and we have those cheese steaks down 691 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,399 Speaker 9: their throats with those freaking weird old fans over there 692 00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,880 Speaker 9: and all their little fanatics or whatever they got, and 693 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,680 Speaker 9: they think they're intimidating to the Dodgers. Are they had 694 00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,000 Speaker 9: other freaking minds? Have they seen our Dodgers. We got 695 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,360 Speaker 9: Mookie Bets, we got Freddie Freeman. 696 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:17,640 Speaker 8: We've had I mean, so we got shoe Hail Tamie. 697 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:21,320 Speaker 3: Are they another freaking Philadelphia cheese steak eating mines? 698 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:23,239 Speaker 8: We're not gonna intimidate the Blue Crew. 699 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:25,520 Speaker 2: Well, they clearly did not.
