00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: from the NBA. You just heard Steve Seger tell you

21
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: through three quarters. Steph Curry's got thirty five nearing the

22
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: end of the third quarter, still a couple of minutes

23
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: to go. Luka Doncic with thirty eight for the Lakers.

24
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: They lead the Tea Wolves ninety nine to eighty eight.

25
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: We'll have more on these games coming up throughout the night,

26
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: but joining us now in the hot line for the

27
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: biggest story at all of sports the Lions bye week.

28
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: The World Series. Game one goes to the Blue Jays.

29
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: They knock Blake Snell out of a pitcher's duel and

30
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: turn it into a laugher. Eleven four is your final

31
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: fourteen hits for the Jays. Nine run bottom of the

32
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: sixth inning. Oh boy, how much trouble the Dodger's in

33
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: Joining us now in the hot line MLB Network insider extraordinaire.

34
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: He is on Twitter at John Morosi. It is the Pope,

35
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: John Paul Morosi. Pope. What's happening?

36
00:01:58,240 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 3: Man?

37
00:01:58,360 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: How are you?

38
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 3: I'm doing great, friends, Good evening on the West coast,

39
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 3: good morning in the Eastern time zone. And I think,

40
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 3: my friends, we have got a World Series on our hands.

41
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,679
Speaker 1: You know, we talked about this a lot, because we

42
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: mentioned this going in. I know you and I mentioned it.

43
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,679
Speaker 1: We mentioned it last week. The Dodgers were going to

44
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: get a bounce starting pitching wise, coming from the NLCS,

45
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 1: are not going to go We're not going to see

46
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: the performance like they just had again in the World Series.

47
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: Right didn't think it was going to be quite like

48
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: this for the Blue Jays. Dodgers starting pitching, and where

49
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: they sit right now going into Game two. Where are

50
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 1: you John.

51
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 3: Paul Well, I'll say this, the reason the Dodgers lost

52
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 3: this game was not starting pitching. In my estimation, I

53
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 3: think it was obviously a two to two game. Midway through,

54
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 3: I will say this, the Jays ran up a high

55
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 3: pitch count on Blake Snell, which led to the bullpen,

56
00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 3: which ultimately was the Dodgers downfall. The Dodgers also had

57
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 3: some sloppy moments on the basis both teams ran a

58
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 3: thousand the bases in the first half of the game.

59
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 3: But I do think when you consider the way the

60
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 3: Dodgers were playing early, they missed some chances when you

61
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 3: Savage was still trying to find his way, they missed

62
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 3: some chances that they typically cash in on to take

63
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 3: a bigger lead and put more stress on the Jays.

64
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 3: And then maybe at that point when Snell leaves the game,

65
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 3: it's a stronger part of the Dodger Pennant's coming in,

66
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 3: and then maybe the entire entire middle part of the

67
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 3: game and the ending that changed everything. Perhaps it unfolds

68
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 3: very very differently, but this is I'm describing right now

69
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 3: a Dodger team that offensively was a little bit off

70
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 3: in their execution. That happens when you take a week

71
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 3: off of games. That's a reality of the layoff that

72
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 3: they just had. But the other piece of this is

73
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 3: the Blue Jays have a really good team. And I

74
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 3: don't know why there was such surprise at the Jays

75
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 3: being competitive with the Dodgers. They batted basically three hundred

76
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 3: for the first two rounds of this postseason. They've got

77
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 3: a really good lineup, and the Dodgers, we know they've

78
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 3: got a great team to the reigning World Series champions.

79
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 3: But it doesn't surprise me that the Jays worked better

80
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 3: at bats against Snell than what the Dodgers had to

81
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 3: deal with against the Milwaukee Brewers and even against the

82
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 3: Phillies to an extent, the Jays put the ball in play.

83
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 3: They only struck out four times tonight. So there's a

84
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 3: lot to like about the way that the Jays are

85
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 3: setting up right now and today affirmed that the Jays

86
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 3: are at the very least a very very worthy opponent

87
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 3: for the Los Angeles Dodgers. And if the Dodgers don't

88
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 3: make their pitches, the Jays are going to sting them

89
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 3: in a way that just did not happen for the

90
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 3: Dodgers the first three rounds of this postseason.

91
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 4: JP, all of that that you just said was great.

92
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 4: It requires that people watch the games and not just

93
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 4: count how much they spent on players, right.

94
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 3: I mean again, I'm not saying this for a chief

95
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 3: shot at Jason, but the Mets had the Mets actually

96
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 3: had the highest payer roll baseball. They didn't make the playoffs,

97
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 3: so so there's there is no promise in this in

98
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 3: this sport. May I introduce all of you ladies and

99
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 3: gentlemen to baseball. There are no that it's always been

100
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 3: uh and and there are plenty of times you go

101
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 3: back to the history of the game. Arguably one of

102
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 3: the most beloved Dodger championships ever, eighty eight was a

103
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 3: series in which very few people gave them a chance

104
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 3: to be competitive, let alone win it, and and they

105
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 3: won the thing decidedly. So it's it's important to keep

106
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 3: that in mind that we can be surprised with baseball

107
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 3: and the greatest weakness of this Dodger team, which is

108
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 3: the middle part of the of the game, the gap

109
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 3: between the starters and then whether it sasaki or trying

110
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 3: are really dialed in and doing great. It's that game,

111
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 3: and teams that put the ball in play and move

112
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 3: the line work deep at bats have the best chance

113
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 3: to ring up a high pitch count on the starter

114
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 3: and get into that middle part of the bullpen. Now,

115
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 3: I didn't think they were going to score nine runs

116
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 3: in one inning, but this is the kind of thing

117
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 3: that can happen when you've got a very smart lineup,

118
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 3: which the Blue Jays have, against a starting staff that

119
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 3: really hasn't been challenging this quite in this way. The

120
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 3: Phillies obviously have a lot of name brand players. The

121
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 3: Phillies were not swinging the bat as well as the

122
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 3: Jays are swinging it right now, and the Jays are

123
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 3: still on the emotional high of just having beaten the

124
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 3: Mariners in a seven game series. Momentum in a postseason

125
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 3: is a very real thing, and right now it belongs

126
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 3: to the Toronto Blue Jays.

127
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, as we've talked about it, the much beligned bullpen,

128
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 4: but they're down one of their surest r right with

129
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 4: Vesia not being available. We were talking about that, Jason

130
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 4: and I with Steve Disager a bit earlier that you know,

131
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 4: six straight scoreless appearances for him, a guy you leaned

132
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 4: on almost seventy times this year. That's a big hole

133
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 4: to fill against a team that is as patient and

134
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 4: as persistent as this Blue Jays lineup.

135
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 3: Well, you're really right, And for those that are maybe

136
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 3: just tuning in or don't know the full backstory, Alex

137
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 3: Vessi is away right now because of a very serious

138
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 3: family emergency, and it's not on the Dodger roster, and

139
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 3: he has been, Mike, to your point, one of their

140
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 3: most important relief pitchers for the entirety of this season

141
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 3: and especially of the playoffs. So this is a very

142
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 3: significant absence. Obviously, there are way more important things going

143
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 3: on than baseball for him and for his family, so

144
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 3: certainly our prayers are with them. But tonight I did

145
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 3: add that thought a couple of different moments in the game,

146
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 3: that they're missing one of their most important players right now,

147
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 3: and obviously they're trying to more than anything to support

148
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 3: him and pick them up. And I think Andrew Friedman

149
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 3: made the comment earlier today. I believe that they didn't

150
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 3: really even want to put Alex on the roster through

151
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 3: via a family emergency scenario where he could then be

152
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 3: added back on, because they just want to send the

153
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 3: message him and his family that listen, don't feel like

154
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 3: you have to rush back to get into this thing

155
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 3: in the middle of the series. Take the time be

156
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 3: with your family. As heartbreaking it as it is to

157
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 3: not be able to compete with his teammates. I think

158
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 3: it was the right sensitive decision for the Dodgers to make,

159
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 3: and certainly, from a pure baseball strategic standpoint, your heart

160
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 3: breaks for him on a human level, but certainly the

161
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 3: Dodgers missed one of their very best teammates and relievers.

162
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: Here tonight, John Paul Moros the MLB Network Insider, where

163
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 1: us Jason Smith, Mike Carmon live from the Fox Sports

164
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: Radio studios. Okay, So, seeing what we saw in game one,

165
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: if I'm looking forward to game two, John Paul, complete

166
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: the sentence for me what I expect to see from

167
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: the Dodgers in Game two? Who is blank? Try to say?

168
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: Trying to digest what's going on here Game one eleven four.

169
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: What you expect to see from the Dodgers in Game

170
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: two is.

171
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 3: What better at bats? Better at bats? And and that's

172
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 3: because first of all, that they're a better offense than

173
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 3: what they showed tonight. Uh And and to be honest,

174
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 3: they they did have three hits of menu scoring position.

175
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 3: They still scored four runs. Listen, four runs is often

176
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 3: plenty to win postseason games when you're pitching. Is really

177
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 3: on point, and I think that, to me is is

178
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 3: the big thing is that there's now I think a

179
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 3: little bit of an elevated sense of of of difficulty

180
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 3: on on Yamamoto's play tomorrow. Now, let's be clear, the

181
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 3: last time we saw Yamamoto pitch, he had a complete

182
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 3: game against the Brewers and basically allowed nothing after the

183
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 3: first batter of the game. I mean, he is special. Now,

184
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 3: I think he's facing a tougher lineup. I think he's

185
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 3: also facing a tougher environment. This this Toronto crowd, now,

186
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 3: their their confidence has never been higher than it is

187
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 3: right now. And they are they are, I think, arriving

188
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 3: tomorrow with confidence and believing that hey, could we actually

189
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 3: take it to nothing lead on the Dodgers, the Mighty Dodgers.

190
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 3: Now the I think on the ja side of things,

191
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 3: they've got a veteran starter and Kevin Gosman, who certainly

192
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 3: has a greater pedigree than what Trey Savage did in

193
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 3: You Savages start tonight, but he's also a bit more

194
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 3: of a known commodity for the Dodgers, and also in

195
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 3: some ways his repertoire matches up well with with what

196
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 3: they saw from the Savage, so they they should be

197
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 3: relatively attuned to what they're going to see from Gosman,

198
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 3: who not long ago was actually pitching in the National

199
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 3: League westn of San Francisco Giants. So there is the

200
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 3: known commodity. There's a lot of reasons as I look

201
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 3: at the series and look at the at bats and

202
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 3: the lineups and the veteran players, and certainly Otani got

203
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 3: going late with a home run. So there's there's things

204
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 3: in the way the Dodgers played tonight that tell me

205
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 3: that they're not that far off that maybe with one

206
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 3: game one loss, that they've now experienced the atmosphere in Toronto,

207
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 3: they're snap back into reality after having the week long layoff.

208
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 3: They should be themselves again should be and there's a

209
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 3: very high likelihood, in my opinion, the Dodgers go out

210
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 3: tomorrow win the game and even the series. That's that's

211
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 3: what you would expect to happen based on a lot

212
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 3: of the things that I just laid out there. And

213
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 3: yet tonight reminded us that baseball is unpredictable unless you're

214
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 3: my colleague Dan Pleisak, who called a home run grand

215
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 3: slam from Barger before the game. It's very hard to

216
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 3: predict this sport, and I think that's where a lot

217
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 3: of us are right now entering Game two.

218
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,719
Speaker 4: All Right, now, I have questions, and I should have

219
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 4: looked up at odds for Barbers hitting over. But I

220
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 4: mean that's the romanticism of this game, right, Bishett comes

221
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 4: back and giving them what he can physically, right, playing

222
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 4: a little second base, made a play, the good get

223
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 4: a base, right, So the first game back, so you

224
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 4: check that box and then you get the youngster, you know,

225
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,439
Speaker 4: first at bat, grand slam swing. And we've been doing

226
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 4: all sorts of research tasks here JP, trying to put

227
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 4: it in perspective, much like we did with the Otani

228
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 4: game last week.

229
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 3: Right, Well, I mean there's a lot on the Blue

230
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 3: Jays side to digest. But let's be clear about this.

231
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 3: What they did tonight, while historic, I would not describe

232
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 3: it as shocking. It's only shocking if you just if

233
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 3: this is the first game that you've seen the Blue

234
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 3: Jays playoff season, which is admittedly the case for some fan.

235
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 3: Let me introduce you. Let me introduce you to the

236
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 3: last series they played in which in Game three on

237
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 3: the road, they were down oh two, difficult circumstances against

238
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 3: a really good starting pitcher in George Kirby. They won

239
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 3: thirteen to four. The next night they won eight to two.

240
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 3: They scored twenty one runs in a span two games

241
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 3: against a team that is known for great pitching. And

242
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 3: then they went on and beat them four to three,

243
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 3: and they came back and beat him in Game seven.

244
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 3: They beat him in Game six, six to two. This

245
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 3: is again historic, first pinch at Grand Slam in history

246
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 3: of the World Series. From Barger, that's pretty remarkable. You

247
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 3: look at some of the other at bats. Ernie Klement

248
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 3: right now is batting four to thirty five in the postseason.

249
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 3: Vlad Duro Junior is batting four to forty seven in

250
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 3: the postseason, Barger, who with the home run is batting

251
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 3: three twenty four. These guys didn't just they didn't just

252
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 3: stumble out of a hockey rink and put on baseball

253
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 3: almus and they the bat. They have very recently been

254
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 3: a very strong offensive club, as I referenced, scoring twenty

255
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,199
Speaker 3: one runs over two games against the Seattle Mariners. So

256
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 3: this is a very impressive historic night. It is not

257
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 3: from where I sit a surprising one as someone who

258
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 3: just covered them for seven games in the American leagu Championships.

259
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: Here all right, now, lastly, John Paul, as everybody knows

260
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: you are our Lions whisperer. Your record this year and

261
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: picking Lions games is incredibly accurate. Look like a ninety

262
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: three percent picking Lions games. They have a bye this week,

263
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: so I'm going to ask you for a little freelance

264
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: pick Michigan and Michigan State tomorrow National Game. Half the

265
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: state that you live in is going to love you.

266
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: Half the state is gonna hate you. What do you think?

267
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 3: Also true of my family, by the way we are

268
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 3: as they would describe a divided household in many ways,

269
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 3: my father a proud Michigan State alum. I'm gonna say this.

270
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: I don't say my father hates me. You're gonna start

271
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: listing people, Yeah, my.

272
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 3: Father, I've got I'll say this. I think that this

273
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 3: game is going to be closer than a lot of

274
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 3: people believe that it will. I've got this as a

275
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 3: Michigan thirty five Michigan State twenty four. I've got it

276
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 3: thirty five twenty four. Michigan State competitive, able to discore

277
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 3: some points. I realized offense has been a bit of

278
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 3: a struggle. They scored thirteen points and back to back

279
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 3: weekends against a couple quality teams there in UCLA and Indiana,

280
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 3: but they did. They did manage to score twenty seven

281
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 3: against Nebraska. So again, I've got thirty five twenty four.

282
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 3: Michigan State keeps it close, Michigan pulls away late and

283
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 3: gets a very needed conference win for the Michigan Wolverines.

284
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: He is on Twitter at John Morosi, that is at

285
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: John Morosi, who has figured out the secret of life.

286
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: If half your family hates you, just make sure half

287
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: your family loves you. That's all you need.

288
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 3: Now, that's all that's all you need. As they say,

289
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 3: I'm paraphrasing Earl Weaver. Here with your with your family,

290
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 3: just like your baseball team, keep the half that hates

291
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 3: you away from the half that's still decided. Right, yeah,

292
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 3: but you get the idea.

293
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I love that. That was a great one.

294
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: I love that one. Yeah, keep the half away from

295
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: the people at are sure he's on Twitter at John Morosi,

296
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: that is at John Morosi. Pope has always appreciated we'll

297
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: talk to you next week.

298
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 3: I fuck you guys, love this time here. My friends

299
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 3: always enjoy conversations, Enjoy the World Series, and we'll talk to.

300
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 4: You next week.

301
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: See you, John Paul there go. Yeah. No, that was

302
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: the earl weaver. When he was asked about what's your

303
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: secret to being able to manage all these players, he

304
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: says the secret is to keep the half of the

305
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: team that hates you away from the half of the

306
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: team that's not sure about you, Like that's the big Sure.

307
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: Make sure they don't talk, and then you can be

308
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: a good manager.

309
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 4: And now I'm sitting here, I got a ledger because

310
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 4: I'm like looking at all the folks in the studio,

311
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,040

00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 1: friend Mike Harmon. So two big nights individually to talk. Well,

362
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 1: we got Wemby's night as well, but happening right now

363
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 1: Steph Curry thirty five for the Warriors. Not nearly gonna

364
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: be enough. The Blazers, who have had a bit of

365
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 1: a week, uh taking out all their Chauncey Billups frustrations

366
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: on the Warriors. They lead this one thirty to one

367
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: oh eight with four minutes to go in the fourth quarter. Again,

368
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 1: it's a big night for Steph Curry. He's got thirty five,

369
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: but uh gonna fall way short. The Blazers have like

370
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: eleven guys in double figures. Meanwhile, for the Lakers, Luka Doncic,

371
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 1: the Lakers are up one twenty one to one oh

372
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: one now midway through the fourth quarter. Luka Doncic with

373
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: twenty three points in the first quarter. He has forty

374
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 1: five right now to go along with ten rebounds and

375
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: eight assists as the Lakers are thumping the t Wolves

376
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 1: at home and for all concerns after Game one, look,

377
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,360
Speaker 1: neither the Lakers nor the Warriors look good in Game

378
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: one of that. I mean like that was a game

379
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: where it's like, okay, it was Opening Night, but boy,

380
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: neither of those teams really filled you with, Hey, we

381
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 1: got great stuff coming up, Uh, Luca tonight. You know

382
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: we talked about a little bit last hour. This is

383
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: what I expected when I say a beginning of the

384
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 1: season without Lebron. You watch Luca will drag the Lakers

385
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: to victory, just like he did with the MAVs. Watch

386
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: the superhuman efforts skinny Luca puts out there, and tonight

387
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: clearly he is there to another bucket right now forty seven,

388
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: eleven and eight. The only downside of this, if you

389
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,400
Speaker 1: don't have Amazon Prime, you're not watching this game because

390
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: that's where it is. You're not finding that. You're not

391
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: finding this game on cable. It's not on TNT, it's

392
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: not on ESPN, you can't. You can't find it anywhere else.

393
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: This is the new order in the NBA. We knew

394
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: there was gonna be changes coming off the last season.

395
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: People are finding out now the tough way of Oh,

396
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: this is what life is like when your sport goes

397
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 1: to streaming. Okay, not gonna get all those great games

398
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: all the time, got it?

399
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 4: You gonna have to call around and figure out which

400
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 4: watering hole has it. Or maybe you go make a friend.

401
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 4: You bring a pie. Hey, let's watch some games together.

402
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 4: You got Amazon. I see those packages at your doorstep

403
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 4: all the time. Can I come in? I mean, come on,

404
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 4: make a friend.

405
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: H Harmon's here again. You know the game is on.

406
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 1: He wants to watch. Just let him in, Just let

407
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: him in, let him sit out.

408
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 4: He brought a sandwich.

409
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he didn't give me any of it. He's

410
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 1: eating it himself.

411
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 4: No, no, no, here's a little slice of it. Look

412
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 4: for the Lakers. Exciting.

413
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 1: But you I picture you bringing the sandwich in like

414
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: Homer when he was eating the sandwich and it went

415
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,959
Speaker 1: bad and he just kept eating it even though it

416
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: was well.

417
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 4: I mean, look, I'm not one for some costs when

418
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 4: it comes to my meals. It might be a little

419
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 4: bit green, you know what. You cut that piece off

420
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 4: and keep working a keep going. But yeah, they got

421
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 4: some balance. You got up to twenty three. Austin Reeves

422
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 4: had a huge third. He's up to twenty five on

423
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 4: the night eight and with fifteen and seven. But Luca's

424
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 4: so excitable if you missed it, and you might see

425
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 4: this video showing up in the in the socials, lebron

426
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 4: James actually got out of his seat, laughing and pointing

427
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 4: in was excitable at the last Luca Bucket. I don't

428
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:57,919
Speaker 4: know if he heard. He must have really heard the

429
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 4: criticism of how he didn't respond to anything and set

430
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 4: like on a little emperor's throne in the opener, So

431
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 4: he might have heard a little of that. Not to mention,

432
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 4: his name shows up just even tangentially in any of

433
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 4: these other stories like Nope, I'm a good teammate, I'm

434
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 4: a good guy, leave me alone.

435
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 1: Maybe he just heard that Bronni was gonna get in

436
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: the game and he stood up because he still hasn't

437
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: gotten No, he has not twenty three point game with

438
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: five minutes to go in the fourth. You gotta think

439
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 1: Bronni's gonna get in at some point, right.

440
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 4: And Dalton Canneck's only got four minutes?

441
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, ye, not a bit. Look at Marcus Smart not although,

442
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 1: oh the Marcus Smart is plus twenty four.

443
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 4: Point Laavia plus twenty one. He's got five off the

444
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 4: bench in twenty three minutes.

445
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 1: Played Luca now at forty eight with four and a

446
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,439
Speaker 1: half to go in the fourth quarter. I would assume

447
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 1: jj rehtt and in near triple double again with eleven

448
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: rebounds and eight assists. I would assume he's gonna stay

449
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: in to get that fiftieth and then they're gonna take

450
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: him out. So I assume a fifty burger for Luca.

451
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: Then he will sit and watch the last four minutes

452
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: or fourth half, whatever it is of a Lakers victory

453
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: over the Tea one.

454
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 4: Well, and then also have another one sided game over

455
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 4: here at the intuid Dome. Two games in Los Angeles tonight,

456
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 4: now that they have their own spot, the Clippers putting

457
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 4: on a show beating the hell out of the Suns.

458
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: Ah, well, I mean, I think that's gonna happen a

459
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: lot this year. No, no, but I that's gonna happen.

460
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 1: But the Clippers no shown in game one. So it's

461
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: good to see them back and ready to play tonight.

462
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 1: Uh swelled. More of the night in the NBA coming

463
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 1: up throughout the show, of course, but big Football Friday.

464
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,879

Speaker 1: the NFL slate this weekend and clearly Green Bay and

466
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh the Aaron Rodgers revenge game. I'll tell you this,

467
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: the guy we're gonna be talking about after this game

468
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: is Jordan Love. That's the guy we're gonna talk Look,

469
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: I'm you already know. I don't believe in the Steelers.

470
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 1: I don't believe that they're a good team. They've beaten

471
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: bad teams. They don't throw the ball well, they don't

472
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: run the ball well, they don't play great defense. Pittsburgh stinks,

473
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: but yet somehow they have a decent record. I don't

474
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 1: believe even them at all. Right, this is primed for

475
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: Jordan Love to have one of those Hey, this is

476
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 1: why the Packers went to me instead of you games. Right,

477
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: Like we see this from him once in a while.

478
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: He is primed to have a huge game. And I'll

479
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: tell you what, I got him locked in as one

480
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: of my top three fantasy quarterbacks this week. This Steelers

481
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 1: defense isn't your normal Steelers d Right, Aaron Rodgers is

482
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: gonna wind up looking forty one years old, not terrible,

483
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,640
Speaker 1: but not great. Green Bay will get a signature win

484
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: this year, an emotional game. I know it's hard to

485
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: go against Pittsburgh at home. They're getting the points, but

486
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: Green Bay is actually the more desperate team to be

487
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 1: able to stay in that race with the way the

488
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: Lions are playing. And now suddenly the Bears are for real.

489
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 1: So things are getting real crazy in the NFC North,

490
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: Fast Packers get a big win, Jordan Love has a

491
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: big game, and the Packers come away with a.

492
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 4: W Look at you. I'm actually completely on the opposite side.

493
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 4: We dismissed the talk of revenge, revenge revenger, Well, he

494
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 4: kind of tried to slow play it now. I mean,

495
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 4: we've seen that the defense rise up a little bit,

496
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 4: and Jordan Love hasn't been great. His best game came

497
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 4: against the eleven Windmills, standing there passing his defenders for

498
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 4: the Cowboys. Otherwise he's been good, not great. It's been

499
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 4: a lot of Josh Jacob's question of whether Pittsburgh can

500
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 4: slow him down at all. Remember last week he was

501
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 4: a you know, true game time decision and then still

502
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 4: ran wild like and I can say it now. Time

503
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 4: has passed like the Hulcomania in the mid eighties. Uh,

504
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 4: but yeah, I'm looking for the Steelers to win this game.

505
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 4: And win it convincingly, and Dodgers laughs at all of you, and.

506
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: Then he says, it was actually a revenge game. It

507
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: was a revenge I really did and then he falls

508
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 1: over like Vizzini that you know, that reminds me. That

509
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 1: reminds me of Kobe. When the Lakers beat the Celtics

510
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: to win the title, and they asked Kobe throughout the finals, like, hey,

511
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: what's it gonna mean to beat the Celtics. The Lakers

512
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: rival with the Celtics. You know, Kobe, who is such

513
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: a huge student of the game and how much you

514
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: know about He kept saying, listen, guys, that's not this

515
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: And I get that that was a long time ago

516
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: and those rivalries are great, but this is different and

517
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: this is you know, we're going out there trying to win.

518
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: The Celtics are a great team and all this, and

519
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: like the entire series, they just kept saying that to

520
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: He just kept saying, God, I don't know what to

521
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 1: tell you. That was a different time and this is now.

522
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: And then when the Lakers won, they asked him how

523
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: it felt to beat the Celtics off feels awesome, It's great,

524
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: and they said and one of the reporters said to him, Hey, so,

525
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,439
Speaker 1: but you said it was just, you know, just another series,

526
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 1: like a laughing let's just laugh it off and go.

527
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: You said it was just another series. You know, you're

528
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 1: trying to win the title like you were against anybody else.

529
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: And Kobe just stopped and he stared at the reporter

530
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: and said, oh, man, guys, I was just flat out

531
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: lying to you. I was just lying to you, guys,

532
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: And I thought that was awesome. Like I was just

533
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,919
Speaker 1: lying to you guys. This means everything to beat the

534
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 1: Celtics in the A file, twit it all old rule thumb.

535
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,919
Speaker 4: Maybe find your motivations whether you keep it in gurnal

536
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 4: you wear it on a sleeve right and try to

537
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 4: hype a game like you're a fight promoter. But yeah,

538
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 4: it's one of the most intriguing games we've got on

539
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 4: a slate. Six teams on a buy one game already

540
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 4: in the books, and this one a marquee matchup for

541
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers for that offense. Is he gonna push the

542
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:19,360
Speaker 4: ball downfield a ton?

543
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 3: No?

544
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 4: Will he get introduced to Micah Parsons pretty early, I'm sure?

545
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,239
Speaker 4: So you know this is one where Friarmouth John new

546
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 4: Smith for fantasy purposes to you guys, you really love

547
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 4: hot route, get the ball out.

548
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: Giants and the Eagles. Eagles are a seven and a

549
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: half point favorite. No aj Brown this week. He was

550
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: ruled out earlier today. I'll tell you what. I'll take

551
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: the Eagles minus twenty this week. I'll take one of

552
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 1: those super teasers, the Eagles minus twenty. They figured out

553
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: their offense last week. Last week was a huge week

554
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: for Philadelphia. You can start believing in them again. They

555
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: realize we need to be dynamic. They now know Saquon

556
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: Barkley's not to do it for them. They are going

557
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: to be Jalen Hurts driven and they know. Look, sometimes

558
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: a team coming off a Super Bowl needsible time to

559
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: figure it out. You thought the same formula was going

560
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: to work. You try to do it for a while,

561
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: it didn't. Offensively, you had guys that were unhappy. And

562
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: when everybody's unhappy, you got to talk to the coaches. Right,

563
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: But it's one player that's unhappy. Okay, why is one play?

564
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: But when everybody doesn't seem to be on the same page,

565
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: you got to get on the same page with the

566
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: coaching staff. It looks like they did that last week. Plus,

567
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: this is a game you can't discount the revenge game

568
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: factor for earlier in the year where the Eagles were

569
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: taken by surprise and the Giants suddenly showed everybody, hey,

570
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: we could be pretty good. This is how Super Bowl

571
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: champion stay motivated in the middle Bay part of the

572
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: regular season. Get Eagles minus seven and a half. I

573
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: would take the minus twenty over the Giants.

574
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 4: Brandon Graham back to try to fight Scatamo, so you

575
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 4: know loading up there. Uh yeah, I think this is

576
00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 4: one where you see that defensive front for Philadelphia really

577
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 4: make its way, that front seven does the job to

578
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 4: limit opportunities for the Giants, uh and that the Eagles

579
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 4: go to work. This is Saquon for me. Was one

580
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 4: of the big fantasy players on the iwatcher Flex podcast.

581
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 4: A lot of folks mad and wringing their hands because

582
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 4: it hasn't been there.

583
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

584
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you get fed this week. Whether it

585
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 4: comes off the arm of Hurts in the passing game

586
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 4: a little bit as well. Big touch, big target, target,

587
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 4: big opportunity.

588
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: So there's a couple of our big pick's biggest games

589
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: of the week in the NFL. Time now to find

651
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:56,400

00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,040

653
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 6: were in the World Series in the early nineties. So yeah,

654
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 6: it's been a while.

655
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: Ninety three, that's how long ago.

656
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 6: Ninety three they won back to back World Series ninety

657
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 6: two to ninety three. In fact, the game winning homer

658
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 6: for Joe Carter in ninety three, who was the catcher

659
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 6: they beat was Darren Dalton. Wasn't it to Dalton Varshow

660
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 6: who homered in the fourth inning to tie this game tonight?

661
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 1: And I think maybe his dad, Gary Varshow, was actually

662
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: playing in Major League Baseball at that point.

663
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 6: His dad name the kid after Darren Dalton. That's that's

664
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 6: how long this has been. This month, the Blue Jays

665
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 6: have set a record already fifty extra base hits in

666
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 6: their first twelve games. Of the postseason. There hadn't been

667
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 6: a nine run inning in a World Series since the

668
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 6: nineteen sixty eight Tigers.

669
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 1: Back to you, nineteen ninety three, Gary Varshow was playing

670
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,240
Speaker 1: outfield for the Cincinnati Reds.

671
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 4: How about that previously previous stops with the Cubs and Pirates. Yeah,

672
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,320
Speaker 4: finished with the Phills in ninety five.

673
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: You know, the war for his career was minus.

674
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 4: You know what though, he's still got one an eight

675
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 4: year career.

676
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I ain't not bad, not bet not bet. Hey.

677
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 4: You need clubhouse guys too.

678
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: And his and his kids really good. So there you go.

690
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: NBA game fixing scandal coming up in about ten minutes

691
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 1: of the course. More in Game one of the World Series.

692
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 1: But tomorrow, two big games in college football for different reasons, right,

693
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like I'm a good football fan.

694
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: The game I'm looking forward to the most is UCLA

695
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,720
Speaker 1: and Indiana. Like, you have other big games on the schedule,

696
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 1: but man, just how hot UCLA has been with Jerry Neuheisel,

697
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 1: you know, running things even though he's not the head coach,

698
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. People don't think, hey, his hair, the way

699
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 1: the USLA offense is rolling, like they've been fun. And

700
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 1: here's Indiana, who is the flavor of the moment, number

701
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: two team in the country. Like, if I could watch

702
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,399
Speaker 1: one game, that's gonna be the one. As I'm watching

703
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: Syracuse get pummeled by Georgia Tech, you know, this is

704
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: one I'm so interested in watching, and I hope that

705
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a good game, but it's gonna be

706
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 1: really difficult. As much as I want to pick UCLA,

707
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 1: they're hot, their offense is hot, but Indiana is just

708
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 1: too good to lose. Right, this is a national audience

709
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 1: getting another big look at a big game for Fernando Mendoza.

710
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:51,840
Speaker 1: I just hope UCLA can keep it exciting with some

711
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 1: points in the first half, but man, Indiana is gonna

712
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 1: run away with this in the end. This will be

713
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 1: when when Ucla the good times hit a little a

714
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 1: speed bump in the road. Indiana is that good? I

715
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,720
Speaker 1: think Indiana wins this. Yeah, minus twenty five, minus thirty

716
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna wind up being a big number at the

717
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:08,959
Speaker 1: end for the Hoosiers.

718
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 4: To win this game over under fifty three and a

719
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 4: half twenty six and a half your current total. This

720
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 4: is one where for Signetti, you know, because there's a

721
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 4: lot of press coming in to your your point about

722
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 4: UCLA and it's feel good since Deshaun Foster was taken

723
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 4: out Skipper and what we've seen from New Hizel and

724
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 4: it's a feel good story. Then the Signetti seemed like

725
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 4: the type of guy that wants to put up seventy

726
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 4: on him. Then oh sure, keep that offense off the field,

727
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 4: just bludging them like that's that. It just has that

728
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 4: gut feel to it. It's a home game, big attention

729
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 4: kind of game because there's only what three games of

730
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 4: rank versus rank kind of thing, you know, in terms

731
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 4: of you know, top notch opposition going through a lot

732
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,879
Speaker 4: of teams facing less competition this week, so this one

733
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:05,240
Speaker 4: will get a little more run, particularly as the Heisman

734
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:09,879
Speaker 4: voting starts to come into into shape here. So yeah,

735
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,800
Speaker 4: I would fully expect them to. We don't get to

736
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 4: say run it up for the bolsters anymore. He'll run

737
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 4: it up for the pollsters tomorrow.

738
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,360
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, the other game, because everybody's thinking, okay, now we

739
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,879
Speaker 1: could because James Franklin had happened with him. Hey, if

740
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 1: this coach loses, he's gonna get fired. Texas A and

741
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: M and LSU Tomorrow, the number three Aggies go in

742
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: to LSU. They are a two and a half point favorite.

743
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 1: And I know there's the general consensus a off. If

744
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly loses, he's gonna get fired. The buyouts fifty

745
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 1: million that could be put to it is a big check.

746
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,879
Speaker 1: But we've seen it before. But here's the thing, right,

747
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 1: and this is where the world of outside sports dictates

748
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: what happens. LSU doesn't have a full time president right now,

749
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 1: they don't. They have an interim president, and they're figuring

750
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: out their finalists for who's gonna wind up being the

751
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 1: new school president. I don't think interim presidents are going

752
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 1: to make the call at oh, fifty million dollars pay Yeah,

753
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,760
Speaker 1: I'm okaying. You firing Brian Kelly midway part of the season,

754
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 1: and we're okay. I don't think that happens.

755
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 4: Should that be part of the interview process though?

756
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, Hey, what would you do it, Brian Kelly?

757
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 4: Give us your best analysis of what we should do

758
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:22,320
Speaker 4: in this situation. And if charged to find fifty million dollars,

759
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 4: what would be your first step be.

760
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: His accent is fake? I'd get rid of him. Oh

761
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 1: you're my guy right now.

762
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 4: Remember when he danced and he did that photo mood

763
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 4: thing like you do add a kid's birthday party. I

764
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:33,359
Speaker 4: was out then.

765
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,760
Speaker 1: Now they're down to I think the final three or four,

766
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: so they should have a decision soon, and clearly that's

767
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 1: gonna be the first thing on the new president's desk,

768
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: So congratulations. But I think while this process is playing out, ie,

769
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: even if they get boat raced tomorrow, which could happen,

770
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 1: Kelly's going to live to coach another day. He's not

771
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 1: going to get fired after tomorrow.

772
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 4: They're going to finish the job. I do think they
