1
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,600
Speaker 1: Welcome to No Bunts, the show for the casual baseball

2
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 1: fan here on the Athletic Podcast Network. It's playoff time, baby,

3
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: It's the best time of the year for baseball fans.

4
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: I'm tas Molise in the Classic Factory with me the

5
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: man making the magic happen.

6
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 2: It's JD. Hello, AJD. Sorry, we Leanda Blaman on the dog. Yeah,

7
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 2: you were on your hands in the hands and knees

8
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 2: cleaning up.

9
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: Piss now dog listen, It's not on you whatsoever. It's

10
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: all on me.

11
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 2: Listen.

12
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 1: The start time has changed a few times. I thought

13
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: we would be going a little bit later because the

14
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: games are going on right now, final day of the

15
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: regular season, but the games technically do not matter, so

16
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: we're doing the show during the final games. You can

17
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 1: keep the tabs on your tabs on Twitter there if

18
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: something big happens. But the playoff bracket is set, and

19
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: that is what we are here for to describe, to

20
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: explain everything going on in Major League Baseball's second season.

21
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: Because the format has changed, there are twelve teams now

22
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: six in each league that make the playoffs. Previously it

23
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: was five in each league. So JD, if you can

24
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: pull up the playoff bracket. Let's take a look here.

25
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go through exactly what's going on in Major

26
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: League Baseball. Here as we hit October again, six in

27
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: each league. Six in the American League are making the postseason.

28
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 1: Six in the NL it was five and five. So

29
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: it's three division winners in each league and three wild cards.

30
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: Let's start with the American League. So the top two

31
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: division winners they get buys. In the American League, it's

32
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: the Astros who are playing incredible baseball a little bit

33
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: under the raider, I think, overshadowed by the Los Angeles

34
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: Dodgers in the National League. And the number two seed

35
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: are the New York Yankees. So those two teams get

36
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: buys this year. That is brand new. They await the

37
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: wild card series winners. There are two wild card series

38
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: going on in each league this weekend. They are taking

39
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: place Friday, Saturday, and if necessary, Sunday, because they are

40
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: the best two of three games in those wild card series.

41
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 2: Exciting.

42
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: Starting into basketball, I say, what do you go go?

43
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: What do you mean it for the best of three?

44
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 2: I'll bring the best of three to basketball? Why not? Yeah?

45
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:48,119
Speaker 1: It allows for the the underdog to win potentially more

46
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: so then you're in You're okay with that. Listen, it

47
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: used to be best of five in basketball, Yeah, and

48
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: that was a little bit there's.

49
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, just leaving money on the table. Let's be that's

50
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 2: a hundred centrue. Yes.

51
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: Well, in baseball, traditionally, you know, going way back, basically

52
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: there are four teams instead of twelve teams, so they

53
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: are expanding, they are trying to get money in the

54
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: pockets of everybody. It was proposed by the owners to

55
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: have seven teams in each league, but it's you know,

56
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: the traditionalists, one even less one fewer teams. They settled

57
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: on six. So those two teams get a bye and

58
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: the other division winner has to play a wild card winner,

59
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: call it the three six, and then the wild card

60
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: winners the other two.

61
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 2: Play as well.

62
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: So three six, four or five will call them, and

63
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: again we'll go through here each series. The four to

64
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: five is the Blue Jays Mariners, the three to six

65
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: is the Guardians and the Rays. The Guardians winning their division,

66
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Guardians winning their division. They will host the

67
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Rays. Jays will host the Mariners, and then

68
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: the division series, which are best of five. They start Tuesday,

69
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: and then the Championship Series and then the World Series.

70
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: So it's a big advantage to get one of those

71
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: buy seeds.

72
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're.

73
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: A Wildcard series participant here this weekend, you need to

74
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: win four series. This wildcard round also makes you throw

75
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: out your best pitchers and they're not as fresh for

76
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: the next round. They end up having to pitch less.

77
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: That taxes a bullpen. There's a trickle down effect. And

78
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: it's only three series for those top two teams in

79
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: each league, so that's big. And these three game series

80
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: they're new JD. Previously it was a single elimination game

81
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: to get in for those wild card winners, and there's

82
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: the additional team in each league. It was five now

83
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: to six. So is that somewhat clear? It is a

84
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: little convoluted.

85
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 2: As clear, it's clear. Yeah, I get it. Yeah, you

86
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 2: did a great job explaining it. And you know that

87
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 2: bracket looks it's a nice bracket.

88
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: We're going three games, five game seven to seven. If

89
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: you're in the wildcard you need that three before you

90
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: get to the five. And yeah, the Astros and the

91
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: Yankees are waiting. We'll get to the NL in a sec.

92
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: We'll get to even Aaron Judges record. We'll get to

93
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: a controversial photo deleted from a team social media camp.

94
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: We'll tell you about all the matchups, but let's stick

95
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: with the AL for a sec because I got excited.

96
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: I heard an audio clip of Jose Bautista, a former

97
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: Blue Jay, hitting that dinger. Just heard the audio clip,

98
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: heard the horn in the Rogers Center.

99
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 2: A when they hit a home run.

100
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 1: It gets sent chills down my spine. So I'm starting

101
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: with the Toronto Blue Jays versus the Seattle Manners, two

102
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: wildcard teams, the four to five matchup. This is the

103
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: battle for nineteen seventy seven. These two teams came in

104
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: together as expansion teams in nineteen seventy seven, and we'll

105
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: go through what's going on with each team. The Jays

106
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: are going to be thrown out Alec Manoa in Game one.

107
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: They're excited about that, one of the best pitchers in

108
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: the AL this season. Then Kevin Gossman hopefully will be

109
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: ready for Game two. He's got a laceration on his finger,

110
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: and that's important because the Toronto Blue Jays are probably

111
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: a little bit worried beyond Kevin Goswin Ross stripling if

112
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 1: necessary will likely be the Game three starter again after

113
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 1: Alec Macno. I think it is up in the air

114
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: at this point. They, I'm sure, wanted Jose Burrios to

115
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: be that guy, that number three guy. They sign him

116
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: to a long term deal before this season, but he

117
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: hasn't been that guy. But their bats are scary. They

118
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: can hit bobbins at any time. They can make that

119
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:32,799
Speaker 1: ha horn go off at any time. Vlady Guerrero MVP

120
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: runner up from last year, still a wanted hitter, George Springer,

121
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: Bobashet who led the al and hits, Alejandro kirk Tioscar Hernandez,

122
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: Lurdis Scurriel. Hopefully we'll be in there. They are fantastic.

123
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: That lineup can win you games. Pitching is a little scary.

124
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: Their bullpen is a little questionable. But their closer has

125
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: been lights out. Jordan Romano, he's been lights out. And

126
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: he also lit up a cigarette that he was smoking

127
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: during the Blue Jay celebration win they won their wild

128
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 1: card spot. The Blue Jays social media account put it

129
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,239
Speaker 1: up and then took it down. He's got a cigarette

130
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: in his mouth. He's got a pack of cigarettes in

131
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: his hand as we're showing it to you on YouTube

132
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: another blue Jay's got a cigar in his mouth that's allowed.

133
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: But cigarettes, is was the deal?

134
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 2: Why? Why not? Why not? Cigarettes?

135
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: I it's just one of those taboo things these days, JD.

136
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: It's legal, it's totally legally. There's alcohol in the photo, Yep,

137
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: cigars in the photo, as I said, but it's the cigarettes.

138
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: It's just it's one of those things that you don't

139
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: see anymore. And I wonder if he wasn't holding a

140
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: pack of cigarettes. I wonder if that also so kind

141
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: of forced their hand in a way.

142
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, but what do we got there to Maria light

143
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 2: there it's not a red pack. There's there's no it's

144
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 2: all warning now the entire package of a cigarette. But

145
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 2: he that was in Toronto a couple of weeks ago

146
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 2: and he showed me, Uh, it's just one big warning label.

147
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 2: Ah right, they have changed so warning. Yeah.

148
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: I guess that's part of it. That's part of the

149
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: sort of the stigma around it. And that's why the

150
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: Jay's media account took it down. Anyways, I thought that was.

151
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 2: Interesting enough, enough, fair enough, fair enough. It is gross.

152
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 2: Kids there's kids watching? Are there kids watching? I'm yeah, yeah.

153
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: There's kids. Absolutely especially on social media. They saw that Listen,

154
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: cigarettes are gross, baking is gross, Jewel was I think

155
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: they had to settle a huge lawsuit because they're advertising

156
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: to children. Yeah, disgusting. It is gross. Anyways, it's legal though,

157
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: so it's kind of odd.

158
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 2: Away.

159
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: Let's get to the Mariners side of things. They are

160
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: into the playoffs for the first time since two thousand

161
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 1: and one, a very very long time ago. It was

162
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: the longest playoff drought in North American professional sports, longer

163
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: than any NFL team, NBA team, or NHL team. Now,

164
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: the longest drought belongs to the Sacramento Kings of the NBA,

165
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: and that's why this call by Dave Simms of the

166
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: walk off home run that sent the Mariners to the

167
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: playoffs for the first time in twenty one years sounded

168
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: the way it does. Roll it j D me two to.

169
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 2: Count the picture of my SOLVEDO.

170
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 3: I drive think the right fail down the line whenness game.

171
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 2: To the line, the dream.

172
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 3: Lefts going to the playoffs.

173
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: Yes, Dave Sim's great call there. Unfortunately, I think their

174
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: playoff run will end against the Toronto Blue Jays this weekend.

175
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 2: Listen. I'm an optimist they can obviously beat the Jays.

176
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,719
Speaker 1: Yes, we're cheering for the Toronto Blue Jays here in

177
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: the Classic Factory. That's of course, we'll be cheering for

178
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: a Jay's Braves World Series. But let's not get two

179
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 1: ahead of ourselves. You know, we'll be back on Monday

180
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: to talk about the World Card Series.

181
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 2: But I am enthralled by the Mariners' best player. Their manner.

182
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: Story starts with Julio Rodriguez, the twenty one year old

183
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 1: center fielder. Anytime you hear people talk about Rodriguez, it's

184
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: just joyful, is the word that comes up quite often.

185
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: He's confident, but not overconfident. He's a jersey selling machine.

186
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: He was at I fell in love with him at

187
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: the All Star Game.

188
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 2: He was micd up.

189
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: Recently he had a lower back round but he is

190
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 1: back playing. But he is a joy to watch. He's

191
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: the old five tool player that I know of baseball.

192
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: He's the fourth player in MLB history to hit twenty

193
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: homers and twenty stolen bases in his first season. Twenty

194
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: seven homers, twenty five stolen bases. Love a guy who

195
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: steals bases. Sarez leads their team with thirty one homers

196
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 1: and eighty four RB guys. Cal Raley, who just walk

197
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: them off there, leads all catchers with twenty five long balls.

198
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: Ty Frantz leads him in hits, but the rest of

199
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 1: their bats a little disappointing this year. Jesse Winker, Carlos Santana,

200
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: not that Carlos Santana and Mitch Hanneger have been disappointing.

201
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: So they do have questions going into the series with

202
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: the Jays. They don't know who'll be on the team.

203
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 1: Sam Haggerty, he just injured his growing stealing second on Monday.

204
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: I guess that's why guys don't steal second basis. But

205
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: the larger bases, that's going to reduce injuries. The larger

206
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: bases next year will reduce injuries. I say they don't

207
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: know who they're playing. Manager Scott's Service said they are

208
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: going to take every minute to decide who's on the roster, because, yeah,

209
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,239
Speaker 1: they've got some questions, but pitching wins in the postseason,

210
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: and that's where the Mariners easily stack up against the

211
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: Blue Jays. Louise Castillo came over in that mid season trade.

212
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: The Yankees were seemingly in the lead for Castillo's trade

213
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 1: services that didn't happen they got. Frankie Montesa said Casillo

214
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 1: has been fantastic for the Mariners pitching at ninety eight

215
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: ninety nine. They got a deep, strong rotation though along

216
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,719
Speaker 1: with Castillo, former Blue Jay Robbie ray Cy Young, last

217
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: year Logan Gilbert, Marco Gonzalez and George Kirby, and a

218
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: strong pen. I think the Jays are the favorites considering

219
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: they've got home field, even though they're pitching it's a

220
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: little questionable, but the Mariners, they're going to be nervous,

221
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: right they haven't played since two thousand and one in

222
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: the postseason. I'm sure that won't be a problem, but

223
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: it will be a great three game set. The Blue

224
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: Jays excited to be on their home field Friday, Saturday,

225
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: and if necessary, Sunday. Two thousand and one a long

226
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: long time ago, which probably should shorten here as the

227
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: playoff field has expanded, but since it was so long ago,

228
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: we wanted to show you what the No Dunk's crew

229
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: was doing in two thousand and one. Here are a

230
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: few photos if you're following along on YouTube, and I

231
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: will absolutely explain it as best I can for the

232
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: audio listeners, first year's Trey Kirby with tight hair looking good. Actually,

233
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: I do believe he performed Bye Bye Bye. I think

234
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: the Davis photo was taken.

235
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 2: Really yes, so the JT similar like that's on purpose,

236
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 2: Like this is I think he's he had a you know,

237
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 2: a JT. But like that, this photo screams justin absolutely

238
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 2: so what do you mean he was performing?

239
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: I think they performed it in high school at a

240
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: talent shot. Okay, there's a thread on Twitter I saw.

241
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

242
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: Anyways, here's Lee Ellis always traveling. Yeah, he's in front

243
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: of Christ the Redeemer here in Rio. Always he's always

244
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: got a photo of the spots that he's been to.

245
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: Here's Skeets in two thousand and one playing a guitar

246
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: on the car at a cottage.

247
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 2: It looks like it looks like it, or it could

248
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 2: be there's an escarpment behind him. Is that what that's called?

249
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 2: Like a hell? I guess it looks very mountainous because

250
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 2: there's another hill in the background.

251
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why I think it's cottage country, cabin country

252
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: up in Ontario. I wonder what's Skeets is strumming along

253
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: to there? I know he's uh he's always wanted to

254
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: get better at the guitar. Yeah, I wonder if he

255
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: had a song in my there maybe we'll ask him

256
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: that person. And here's jd in two thousand and one.

257
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: This is a surprise.

258
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 2: Oh, this is me and my buddy Derek on a

259
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 2: beach in Cabo. I too like to travel, Lee Ellis,

260
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:16,959
Speaker 2: So there you go. Yeah, bleach blonde hair under that

261
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 2: hat there, and I think I've got a shark's tooth

262
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 2: around my neck or something.

263
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: Do you know if Lebron James's house is close to where.

264
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 2: You guys were? Oh, great question. Back then? I probably yeah,

265
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 2: Well he didn't have the house now he was.

266
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: Sixteen, he probably He probably didn't, although he had a

267
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: hummer close to back then, close to that timeline. But

268
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: he recently bought a well he's got a house that's

269
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: near a pickleball court. He recently bought a pickleball team.

270
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: I do believe he said recently, there's a pickle ball

271
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: court by my house in Cabo. So that's why I

272
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: knew he had a house in Cabo. Anyways, the last

273
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: photo is of me. I'm cheating. This is in two

274
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: thousand and it's a couple of years later, but I

275
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: love this photo of myself with Rowdy Roddy Piper and

276
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: Bobby Heenien, both who have passed in recent years. But

277
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: it's me with Rowdy Roddy Piper and Bobby Heenan flipping

278
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: the bird, flipping.

279
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 2: The bird in the back. People listening are going to

280
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 2: have to go to YouTube to see this photo because

281
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 2: it is It's one. You got a Tony Stark goatee going,

282
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 2: you got your used to shave your head. I only

283
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 2: knew you as a shave head guy for the first

284
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 2: three or four years that I never knew you, which

285
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 2: is crazy because you got one of the greatest heads

286
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 2: of hair and sports broadcasting. So it's true. Yeah, I

287
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 2: me and Jared Greenberg got very close second. Yeah.

288
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: Anyway, So the winner of the Toronto Seattle Series faces

289
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: the Astros, and as I said, they're kind of flying

290
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: under the radar. They have made five straight alcs and

291
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: gone to the World Series in three of those five years,

292
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: and man, it feels like they're going to do it again. Unfortunately,

293
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: as they take on Toronto or Seattle in the CS again,

294
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: which start Tuesday, it's a tough side of the bracket

295
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: because the other side of the bracket, the three sixth series,

296
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: it's the Cleveland Guardians hosting the Rays. The other division

297
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: winner are the Guardians. On opening day, they were long

298
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: shots to win the AL Central. They're a bunch of

299
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: young and up and comers. They are the youngest team

300
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs since the eighty six Mets. Average

301
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: age of them twenty six point three sixteen rookies this season.

302
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: They do it with small ball. It's a fun team

303
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: to cheer for. They are a sound baseball team. They

304
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: lead the AL in contact rate. They don't swing and miss.

305
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: They strike out the least of any team in the league.

306
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: They're smart and aggressive on the base pass. They use

307
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: the whole field. They work counts. They're number one in

308
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: stolen base success rate. They really get thrown out. They

309
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: don't hit dingers though their second last and major league baseball,

310
00:16:55,920 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: so some project them to be a quick out these

311
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: in this postseason because they you know, they don't do

312
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: it sort of the modern way by hitting dingers. On

313
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 1: September tenth, there were questions as to whether or not

314
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: the Guardians were going to win their division. It was close.

315
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 1: They had just a one point five game lead over

316
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,719
Speaker 1: the more experienced twins in White Sox, but they plowed

317
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: right through those teams, winning ten of twelve against them.

318
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: Jose Ramirez as their star, their third basement. He took

319
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 1: less to be there. Stephen Kwan in the outfield Andresimenez

320
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 1: at second base are great to watch. He made that

321
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: incredible play in the All Star Game if you remember that,

322
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: the old backhanded flip. Shane Bieber, Tristan McKenzie, Cal Quantrille

323
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: Canadian father Paul Quantrille played in the Majors for a

324
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: long time. Those three starters are going to be probably

325
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: their one, two, three if necessary this weekend against the

326
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Rays, and it could be low scoring series

327
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: because the Guardians got the pitchers. The Rays have pitchers

328
00:17:55,760 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 1: in defense and could go along way, especially because they

329
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,199
Speaker 1: got the Yankee side of the bracket, which is an

330
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 1: easier side than the Astros. The question is for the Rays,

331
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: will their offense show up a lot of holes in

332
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: that lineup. Randy a Rosse Arena has been hot, Esak

333
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,679
Speaker 1: Paradis has been good, but the rest of them barely

334
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 1: non existent. So a lot of pitching in this series.

335
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: Brandon Low, Mike's Nino, Kevin Kier and I are have

336
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: all been gone for the rest of the season. They

337
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: are all done with season ending injuries. Yanky Diez, Wander Franco,

338
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: and David Parl to have to step up in a

339
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 1: big way so the Winter faces the Yankees on that side,

340
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: The Yankees got it done. They won the Al East

341
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: after a rollercoaster of a season. We talked at plenty

342
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 1: about it plenty here on no Bunts, but they got

343
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: some history done. Aaron Judge hit sixty two homers, the

344
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: most in Yankees history. May have heard of it, the

345
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,959
Speaker 1: first sixty spot in Major League Baseball since two thousand

346
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: and one when everyone was digging the long ball. Now

347
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: people claiming that is the home run record because it

348
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: was the juice era when Bonds hit seventy three, but

349
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: that number seventy three is still the real number. Barry

350
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: Bonds absolutely incredible to watch some of the old clips

351
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: of how much people were frightened by him at the plate,

352
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 1: how much he was pitched around in that time period.

353
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 1: There's the great clip of Eric Gangne, a power pitcher Canadian,

354
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: going up against Barry Bonds. Actually, Barry Bonds has heard

355
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: this said on the Athletic MLB Show via Ino Sairahs.

356
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: Barry Bonds was intentionally walked more than the Tampa Bay

357
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: Rays have been intentionally walked in the history of their franchise.

358
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: Every hitter in the history of the franchise total hasn't

359
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 1: been intentionally walked as much as Barry Bonds. The Rays

360
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: have been around twenty five seasons. That's how good Bonds was.

361
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: Now people will say that's guy's the Jews because he

362
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 1: was on Staios. He was an incredible hitter.

363
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 2: So it way you're saying there's no asterisk.

364
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: There no, no, you can't take away that the home

365
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: run record. You can't take away the home run.

366
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 2: I'm not saying you take it away. I just saw

367
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 2: a headline or a tweet or something today that said

368
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 2: sixty two no asterisk.

369
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: So that's fair. Definitely no asterisk. And I think maybe

370
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: the more impressive part is that this the hitter with

371
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 1: the second most home runs in Major League Baseball, is

372
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 1: like sixteen behind, which is a big number behind him,

373
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 1: so he's running away with it. But to hit one

374
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: every two games like Bonds did, yeah, that's the record.

375
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's you know, you can't quantify

376
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: the juice the steroids. Yeah, obviously the number of home runs,

377
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: and that's why I bring up that it's the first

378
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 1: sixty home run season since two thousand and one. The

379
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 1: number of home runs was extremely high then as a

380
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 1: time period, and that's why it's really impressive. Even more

381
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: impressive to me than you know, surpassing the Yankees record.

382
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: It's just hitting sixty period. Yeah.

383
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 2: So there was no four scene fastball back then, was there? Yeah,

384
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 2: sure there was. Yeah, I'm a one tool podcaster.

385
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 1: Well anyways, Yeah, there were a lot of home runs

386
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: back then. But you know, going into this series, obviously

387
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: they've got Aaron Judge. There are some questions about the

388
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 1: Yankees lineup, which is fair. Their starting pitching is coming along,

389
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: though Garrett Cole there ace the most strikeouts in Yankees' history,

390
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 1: kind of surprised me with two hundred and fifty seven.

391
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 1: Nestor Cortez is peaking at the right time, one point

392
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,959
Speaker 1: eight era in September. His fastball is getting faster, apparently

393
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 1: one point seven miles prior faster since April. That's why

394
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: I read the Athletic. That's a cool stat Although he

395
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 1: hasn't found out who poured beer down the back of

396
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: his pants during the Yankee celebration, which is gross. Louis

397
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 1: Severino's pitching, alright, it's kind of overshadowing the fact that

398
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,360
Speaker 1: their trade deadline acquisition of Frankie Montas has not been

399
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 1: That could come back to bite them because, as I said,

400
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: they lost out on Luis Castillo, who went to the Mariners.

401
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,719
Speaker 1: The bullpen, though, is the big question mark for them.

402
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: Roldest Chapman, second highest paid Yankees pitcher. He may not

403
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 1: even be on the postseason roster. They've got injuries. I

404
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 1: don't know if they have the arms. But against at

405
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Rays or Guardians, they will be the favorite,

406
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: although the Astros are the favorite in the AL.

407
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 2: So that's the.

408
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 1: AL side of things. We'll take a quick break. Honestly,

409
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: it will be a quick break. I know people say

410
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: that this one should be quick and then we'll get

411
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 1: to the NL and that incredible Mets story. Welcome back

412
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: to No Buns. Let's get to the NL side of

413
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: the playoff bracket, because that is extremely juicy. Here the

414
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 1: first series, we'll talk about the four or five Mets padres. Now,

415
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 1: the Mets didn't think they'd be a wild card team.

416
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: They thought that they would win the division. In the

417
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: NL least that went to the Atlanta Braves, though we'll

418
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: talk about. They are the two seed to the Dodgers

419
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: one seed. So the Dodgers and the Braves await the

420
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: two wild card series winners this weekend, Mets Padres and

421
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:07,719
Speaker 1: Cardinals Phillies. So let's start with the Mets and Padres.

422
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: Wasn't supposed to be this way. They were supposed to

423
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,239
Speaker 1: win the AL East. They were up ten and a

424
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: half games on the second place Bras on June first.

425
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 1: A team leading their division by ten and a half

426
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: games hasn't ended up losing their division title in twenty

427
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: seven years. Hasn't happened since ninety five, and it came

428
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 1: down to this past weekend in a series versus the Brays.

429
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 1: They just needed to win one game against Atlanta to

430
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: win the East, but the Mets were swept. What a turnaround.

431
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,360
Speaker 1: The Mets are in a three game wildcard series now

432
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: after thinking they'd get a bye against a great San

433
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 1: Diego Padres staff, and if they win that, then a

434
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: division series versus the one hundred and ten win Dodgers

435
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 1: team and Jacob de Gram and Max Schurz are because

436
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 1: of the way the dates breakout here work out here,

437
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: they'll just go once in that division series if they

438
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: get by the Padres and in de Groam just didn't

439
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 1: get it done on Friday and Saturday.

440
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:04,959
Speaker 2: Sures are on Saturday.

441
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 1: There's some bad luck there with a check swing by

442
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 1: Ronald Dkunya. But the Braves just they just out hit

443
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: the Mets. And that's the beauty of the Braves lineup.

444
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 1: They can hit some bombs. Actually, Sures are in de

445
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: Grom works. They're expected to get a win, one of

446
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 1: those wins, at least this weekend. Actually, the Athletic conducted

447
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 1: a recent anonymous MLB player poll with two hundred players.

448
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: The question was asked, who would you want starting a

449
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 1: game seven. The top two answers were to Grom and

450
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 1: sures It, and they lost both their games this weekend. Actually,

451
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: closing a game was also a question, who would you

452
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 1: want closing a game? The Mets Edwin Diaz was the

453
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: number one choice. It's easy to say the Mets collapse

454
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 1: the last few months, but they played at a ninety

455
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: six win pace since June one. The Braves are just

456
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: that much better. They've been on par with the Dodgers

457
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: since June first, when they started a fourteen game win streak.

458
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: Through Sunday, the Dodgers were seventy seven thirty three. The

459
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: Braves were seventy seven in thirty two since June first.

460
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: They had a not a player's only meeting on June first,

461
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,919
Speaker 1: the Braves did. They had a closed door meeting, different

462
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 1: terminology than usually then than in basketball. Brian Snitker, the

463
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: Braves manager, he didn't flip tables. He was calm. He

464
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,199
Speaker 1: said his young players have never been spoken to that

465
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,199
Speaker 1: way and they wouldn't respond that way. I thought that

466
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: was interesting, A little gentle gentle with the Braves players.

467
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 2: I didn't think. I don't think they have to be baby.

468
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 1: But anyways, the Mets will be playing the Padres and

469
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: again a real tough path. It's tough. It's very tough.

470
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: This this adding of a couple Wild Card Series games,

471
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: you're making it more of a series instead of the

472
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: one game elimination. It makes you throw your pictures, it

473
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: makes you throw your best pitches, pitchers out there, and

474
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,919
Speaker 1: they're going up against a San Diego Padres team that

475
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 1: has some rates starters themselves. Joe Musgrove you Darvish and

476
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 1: Blake Snell. That could be enough to win this weekend,

477
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: especially because their hitters have not been as impressive as

478
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: you'd think. Wan Soto, the prize acquisition at the deadline,

479
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,919
Speaker 1: hit seventeen doubles and twenty one homers for the Nationals

480
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 1: at the time of the trade, but since joining the

481
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: Padre is just seven doubles and five homers. Josh Bell

482
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 1: also involved in that deal, twenty four doubles and fourteen

483
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: homers for Washington, but only five doubles and three homers

484
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: post trade. Josh Hater the Brewers closure that came over

485
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: twenty nine saves and thirty one opportunities for them, but

486
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: just five saves and an ugly eight point seven to

487
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: eight ERA with San Diego. They're going to need the

488
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: bats and Hater to some degree to come on, but

489
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: they've got the starting pitching to deal with the Mets.

490
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: And again, the winner faces the absolute favorite to win

491
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: it all, not just in the National League, to win

492
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 1: the World Series, the Los Angeles Dodgers. They are in

493
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: their tenth straight postseason. They have won nine of ten

494
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 1: division titles. Actually, this team, this twenty twenty two team,

495
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 1: is top five wins all time. They're at one hundred

496
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: and ten wins, tied for the fifth most wins in

497
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 1: MLB history. They're actually playing right now, so it could

498
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 1: come to one hundred and eleven wins, which would make

499
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,679
Speaker 1: them fourth all time. The Dodgers become the first one

500
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 1: hundred and ten win team in the NL since the

501
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: nineteen oh nine Pirates.

502
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 2: I don't know.

503
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 1: If you're checking j you don't worry about They're mid

504
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,919
Speaker 1: game right now. It doesn't matter. They have no problem.

505
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 1: It's okay, they're tied at one. They really have no

506
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: problems going into the postseason. They don't even know who

507
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 1: their closer is. Dave Roberts recently said Craig Kenbrell' is

508
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: not our closer. They'll figure it out. And again, the

509
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: rest keeps the bullpen fresh, and that is by far

510
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,640
Speaker 1: the biggest advantage I think, just not having to throw

511
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: your pitchers out there. We talked about it a few

512
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: times on No Bunts. Is it better to keep your

513
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: players in rhythm, to play the rest of the weekend,

514
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: to play every day like you do during the right season,

515
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: have your hitters seeing pitches, nah. The fact that those

516
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 1: guys have to throw so many pitchers, their best pitchers

517
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: out there this weekend. That hurts them. The other series

518
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: on the other side of the bracket, it's the three

519
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 1: seed Saint Louis Cardinals Central winners hosting the Phillies.

520
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 2: Phillies.

521
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: That's great for them, they entered their postseason drought, but

522
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 1: they're going up against a vaunted team with Albert Poohols

523
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: keeps hitting dinger seven hundred plus fourth all time and

524
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 1: home runs second in RBI, is passing Babe Ruth, only

525
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 1: behind Hank Aaron. And you know the cool story of

526
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: Adam Wainwright and Yadier Molina setting the MLB record for

527
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: most starts as a battery three hundred and twenty seven.

528
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: It's pretty wild how their careers have a line this way,

529
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: and it was a nice moment this past weekend. Waynwright, Molina,

530
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: and Pooh Hools all taking off the field at the

531
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: same time. Pooh Holes expects to be done, Malina expects

532
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: to be done this season, and Waynewright could be done

533
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: as well. Although Adam Wayne Wright, according to Ino Sarah's

534
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: at the Athletic, has lost one point nine VLLO since April,

535
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 1: one point nine miles per hours. Yeah, sometimes you get

536
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: old and you lose your vell Tell me about it.

537
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:16,959
Speaker 1: You lose your fastball, you lose your velo. Yes, Roman

538
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: or somebody like that has got to write that into

539
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: their ad copy.

540
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 2: I think you just wrote your next road. Yeah, sure did.

541
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: I've been watching a lot of MLB Baseball Roman all

542
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 1: over that. That channel's lower third bar Roman in big letters.

543
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 2: Anyways.

544
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 1: Adam Waynwright not an ad by the way. Adam Waynwright

545
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: is forty one years old, but he's fun to watch

546
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: because he doesn't throw as.

547
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 2: Hard as most players.

548
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: His ninety two miles per hour was his peak speed

549
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: in April, down to eighty nine in September. But the

550
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: question with the Cardinals overall is if they're starting pitching

551
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: me not if their starting pitching is good enough to

552
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: keep up with the competition, because their hitting should be.

553
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: Paul Goldschmidt MVP candidate and Nolan Arenado probably gonna win

554
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 1: the Silver Slugger and Gold Gloves for their respective positions.

555
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: I'm excited to watch them against the Phillies, who ended

556
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: an eleven year playoffs drought. As I said, they fired

557
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: Joe Girardi after starting twenty two and twenty nine. They

558
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 1: inserted Rob Thompson into the manager seat, who's a very

559
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: calm individual, very very calm, keeping the Phillies calm. And

560
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:29,959
Speaker 1: the playoffs are usually about the bullpens. They play your

561
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: pitcher bullpens a ton and Sir Anthony Dominga is not.

562
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: Sir Anthony Demega is just one word, Sir Anthony Vegas

563
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: not a Knight. He has not been nited. He is back,

564
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: which is really really important for them. And another interesting

565
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: fact for me as a modern baseball fan, Kyle Schwarber

566
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: forty six home runs, who is leading the an Allen

567
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: homer second overall to Aaron Judges sixty two. He only

568
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: has a two nineteen average, but that doesn't matter in

569
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: modern day baseball. He's got a great barrel, right The

570
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: ball hits his bear all the time, and he doesn't chase.

571
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 1: He's got a good chase rate as well, so it

572
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: should be a good series. The winner, though, faces the

573
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: two seed Braves, who, as I said, are essentially a

574
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: one seed. They play as well as the Dodgers, so

575
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: I'm kind of hoping for a Braves Dodgers championship series.

576
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 2: You can call it.

577
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: Braves a better team than last year's World Series winner,

578
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: actually because they feel so comfortable with their starting pitching

579
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: going into this postseason. Unlike last year when they actually

580
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: had two bullpen games in the World Series Bullpen Games Meeting,

581
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: they started relievers in the World Series and got through

582
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: it by pitching a bunch of different pitchers. They feel

583
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 1: way more confident this year with Max Freed, Kyle Wright,

584
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 1: Charlie Morton and Spencer Streider if he comes back from

585
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 1: the oblique injury. It's their fifth straight Division titles. They

586
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: feel good, as I said, since June first, absolutely smoking

587
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: hot and the only thing that really can slow them

588
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: down is that oblique injury to Spencer Strider. But he

589
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: has been working on that core, doubling down on the

590
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: core exercises. According to David o'briena, the athletic and of

591
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: No Buns fame, as well as we had Dob on

592
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: the show on a little earlier this season.

593
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was great.

594
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: So that's it for the playoff primer. There watch the

595
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: nodunk Twitter account. I'm going to force the guys to

596
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 1: watch a baseball game with me, and you guys can

597
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: watch along this weekend Friday, Saturday Sunday. The World Cards

598
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: Series go and then Monday is a day off for

599
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: MLB Tuesdays when the division series starts. So Monday we'll

600
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: be back to talk about the wild Card series. We're

601
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: going to take a quick break right now. But after

602
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: it tweeted the night, all right, welcome back to no buns.

603
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: Had fun with that playoff primer, but I had a

604
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: lot more fun reading this. Weweet time for the tweeted

605
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: to night.

606
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 2: Tweet out the night.

607
00:32:54,640 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: Wow, it's a little back and fourth. That's that's the

608
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: important part. First tweet comes from em Hudson Liz, who

609
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: said dudes can literally just sit around and name old

610
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: sports players and just have the best time.

611
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 2: I was.

612
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: Liked a quarter of a million times by people like us.

613
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: The response is great from Kyle Boggs, who tweeted decades

614
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: of gender slash sexuality research tell us this is a

615
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: or quotes dude thing because some men still don't have

616
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: social permission to create direct bonds with other men. Those

617
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: bonds have to be indirect through sports, talk, women, et cetera,

618
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: which is one of many ways the hetero patriarchy hurts

619
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: men too. Which is a response which is totally correct.

620
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 1: We don't talk about our feelings, which is responded by

621
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: responded to by a crash override to Kyle Bogs. If

622
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: you remember the Kyle Bogs was the first responder. The

623
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: response to Kyle Boggs is any relation to Wade Bogs.

624
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 2: That's three to the nights.

625
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,280
Speaker 1: I love it, well, love it well done by everybody,

626
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 1: right there. So I love that. I love that tweet exchange.

627
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:22,720
Speaker 1: I'm going to love the wild Card series this weekend again, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

628
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: Any interest, Yeah, in no sincerity, any interest in my forcing.

629
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 2: You in all sincerity, I am interested. First of all,

630
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 2: you got me all all riled up just then, whether

631
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 2: this this has been a great preview for me. I've

632
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 2: heard five tool player. I'm not sure what those five

633
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 2: tools are, but yeah me neither barrel rates. That's a

634
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 2: new one for me too. Yeah, but yeah, Look, we

635
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 2: got the Jays and we got the Braves. I've got

636
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 2: a team in each league. I'll be rooting for them

637
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 2: all the way. And what if, what if? Tests? What

638
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:03,320
Speaker 2: if it was a repeat thirty years ago the last

639
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 2: time I watched I took interest in baseball twenty nine

640
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,919
Speaker 2: years ago? Actually has when the last time? But yeah,

641
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 2: well it'll be crazy. Yeah, but you know what, it's

642
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 2: not going to happen.

643
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 1: It's unlikely to happen. It's unlikely to happen.

644
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 2: But still it's fun to think about it. It's fun

645
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 2: to have it's fun to have two home teams now,

646
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 2: you know what I mean?

647
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely, And it's fun that you're involved, Yeah, that

648
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 1: you're into it.

649
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 2: I'm not saying I'm going to jump on that game

650
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,359
Speaker 2: with you no this weekend, but I might. I might.

651
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 1: You should though, yeah, because I think we're doing it

652
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: on a service called Playback, which is very fun. It's

653
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: got a great platform, great.

654
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 2: Platform, very cool interface. Yes, and you can watch you

655
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 2: can literally watch the game and see our faces, and

656
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 2: you can move us around and customize it and you

657
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 2: basically just have to you'd use your own subscription service

658
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 2: to watch whatever game we're watching. What we're watching Jay's game, right,

659
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 2: I assume? So, yeah, we're watching it's Jays Mariners all

660
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,399
Speaker 2: three games. Oh the Braves aren't in it, of course, ye, yeah,

661
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't even know.

662
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Braves aren't in a wildcard series.

663
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 2: I don't even know.

664
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 1: If I said, as I gave the primer all three

665
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: games will be played in the home park of the

666
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: home team, and so there's no traveling whatsoever, because.

667
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 2: That would have been a bitch for Toronto to Seattle

668
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 2: and them back for like one day. Yeah, it did well.

669
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, you'd think that the the middle game would be

670
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: going to the the other team, right thing. Yeah, but

671
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 1: in the w n b A they tried out this

672
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: this season, actually the three game set with the last

673
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,399
Speaker 1: game going to the visiting team, so you'd play two

674
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:47,879
Speaker 1: home games.

675
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 2: How is that at home.

676
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 1: Home home court advantage? Yeah, I I totally it's a

677
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 1: question for me.

678
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,439
Speaker 2: I don't if anything, you should play the first game

679
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:57,720
Speaker 2: in the in the visitors.

680
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: M I mean, the right way is the middle the

681
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: middle that is the right one. But it's a lot

682
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 1: of extra flying. The three game set in one park

683
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense, especially because that's how they

684
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 1: do it during the regular season. I do think that

685
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 1: makes the most sense. So that's what's going on. And

686
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 1: then I do think they go two to one in

687
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 1: the five game set and then two two one one

688
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 1: one in the the CS and in the in the

689
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 1: World Series.

690
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 2: Where they go two three two. Anyways, this isn't a

691
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 2: primer about the Championship series in the World Series is

692
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 2: a primer for the World one series at a time,

693
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 2: or we'll be back after that one series on Monday

694
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 2: to talk about the four wild Card series and then

695
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 2: the four division series start on Tuesday, so we will

696
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 2: set you up for that. But for now, Clipper bros.

697
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 2: O man o man I was, I was ready and

698
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 2: then I wasn't ready. I didn't know we were going

699
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:51,439
Speaker 2: to go that long.

700
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: I don't know you're going to endorse playback like that's

701
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: not for a playback account?

702
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,439
Speaker 2: Why not? Should be sure? It's okay? Now now let's

703
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 2: here's the Clipper here there. You heard it here first,

704
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 2: have a great time, turn up, love you guys. Awesome.

705
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 2: So this triple shift is a getting.

706
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:10,479
Speaker 1: Yeah oh yeah, me too, big time. I didn't even

707
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 1: mention at all. Three games were in one park to

708
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 1: start the show, but we got there. Hopefully listen to

709
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 1: the whole show. Hopefully we'll be back with this on

710
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,919
Speaker 1: Monday for another edition of No Bunds and it won't

711
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 1: be a triple header, no sir. Anyways, enjoy the wild

712
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 1: Card Series, everybody,
