1
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: A regular season is over, let's start October. It's gonna

2
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,120
Speaker 1: be a fun day because there's a little manager carousel

3
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: action going on today. We're of course gonna preview series.

4
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: I've got something special saved up for slap Hands. It's

5
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: just a stat thing and the brackets are set. Take

6
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: a quick peek and then we'll get into the breaking news.

7
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: First off, in the American League, this is your bracket.

8
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: We'll unveil our predictions tomorrow. Tigers versus Guardians, Yankees versus

9
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: Red Sox. Those teams have no idea how the other

10
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: side operates, aside from many times per and then don't

11
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: worry whoever wins Yankees Red Sox plays a team that

12
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: they play all the time in the Blue. I'm kidding.

13
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: I think it's fine. And you are you going to Seattle?

14
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: By the way, I'm going to see it right, we

15
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: can officially.

16
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 2: Something crazy happens, which I don't know what that craziness

17
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 2: would be, but as of right now, as of what

18
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 2: I was told to book my ticket to Seattle for Seattle, Guardians, Tigers,

19
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 2: whoever nice whatever comes out. And then it's the Al

20
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: East versus last Remember it was the AL Central versus

21
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 2: the Yankees.

22
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,559
Speaker 3: Now it's the Al East for the other rest.

23
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 4: Of the league.

24
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: You're gonna get well, I was gonna say, you're gonna

25
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: get the late night I mean you are definitely.

26
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing we're not going to get We're

27
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 2: not on Well, Saturday, there's four games, so we're definitely

28
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 2: gonna be the latest game, probably because the Dodgers will

29
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 2: be on the road.

30
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, if they win.

31
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: I mean, Saturday is a day where you couldn't pull

32
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: You can pull off a day game with the crowd,

33
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: and it's easier in Seattle.

34
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, although you can't start it before four o'clock Eastern.

35
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 4: No, No, so twelve and the.

36
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, But I don't think they're gonna do that

37
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: to that.

38
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 3: I don't think they'll do that.

39
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 2: I think it'll be the late game, and then Sunday

40
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: will probably be a four o'clock Pacific starter.

41
00:01:58,880 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 3: Five o'clock Pacific.

42
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: Is there a football game.

43
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 3: There's a football game at one o'clock.

44
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: So they're gonna go specific one o'clock Pacific, right, But

45
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: in my mind, they're gonna go as late as possible

46
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: then to have some separation.

47
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 2: Now you would think, yeah, that's why I'm thinking five

48
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 2: o'clock Pacific.

49
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: Maybe because that's still eight Eastern. That's that's okay, Yeah,

50
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: that makes same.

51
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, well you're are you gonna have it at four o'clock.

52
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 2: I go up against the football team and then have

53
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 2: the Yankees and the Blue Jays or Red Sox Blue

54
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 2: Jays as the later game.

55
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: They like Sunday night, I think better than Sunday afternoon

56
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: with stuff anyway, because then you have less football going on.

57
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think they think, but they see, here's

58
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 3: the thing. Here's the problem with Toronto.

59
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 2: They don't get all the ratings in Toronto and it

60
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 2: gets sports nets. So in Toronto you're it's it's a

61
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 2: it's a weird Anyways. Anyways, I digress. But I don't know.

62
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 2: It's gonna be interesting to see what the times are.

63
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 4: I just know this.

64
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,399
Speaker 2: I already have my passes for the Seahawks Bucks game

65
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 2: on Sunday lined up, and if there might be a chance,

66
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 2: depending on the game time, I might be the ball

67
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 2: boy for the first half or some.

68
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: We'll double dip and then tell everybody what the game is. Yeah,

69
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: go home and watch the game on Fox. If you're

70
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: not hopping over across and then real quick National League

71
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: and we'll get into previews and all that. But the

72
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: Reds and the Dodgers, and then the Padres and the Cubs,

73
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: Phillies and Brewers waiting. Phillies waiting for the Dodgers or

74
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: the Reds, Brewers waiting for the Cubs or the Padres.

75
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: Ready for some breaking news. Let's hit it.

76
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 2: Let's charge about.

77
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: Bob Melvin. Boom, breaking news. Bob Melvin is fired by

78
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: the San Francisco Giants. They have been the definition of

79
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: five hundred the past couple of seasons eighty one and

80
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: eighty one, this season one sixty one and one sixty

81
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: three over the last couple of years. Buster Posey, running

82
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: the front office ship, said, after careful evaluation, we determined

83
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: making a change in leadership was in the best interest

84
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: of the team. Last couple of months have been disappointing,

85
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: frustrating for all of us. We did not perform up

86
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: to our standards. We now turn our focus to identifying

87
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: a new leader to guide us forward AKA Posey's in

88
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: charge AJ And he gets to pick his own manager

89
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: this time.

90
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, he didn't pick.

91
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: He didn't pick bab moment he remember he inherited bad moment,

92
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 2: so he had to give him a run. And then

93
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 2: when you got people like Logan Webb coming out saying,

94
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 2: this is the most talented team we've ever had and

95
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 2: we didn't make the playoffs. That hurts your chances. But

96
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 2: Buster Posey's not here to mess around people. We didn't

97
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 2: know that by now. We know it now. And he's

98
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 2: gonna find somebody. And I don't know who he's gonna pick,

99
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 2: but you know, there's there's a lot of people that

100
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 2: you could look at. I mean, there's a list from

101
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 2: Susan Slusser, David Ross, Bruce Bochies, Kip Schumacher, Mark Coolberg

102
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 2: their first base coach. I don't know, we'll see what

103
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 2: they do. But uh, Buster Posey, it's on the ball

104
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 2: is in your court.

105
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 4: I don't know how Buster could go to somebody who

106
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 4: doesn't have any experience. I don't feel like the Giants

107
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 4: are one a team that wants to have somebody with

108
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 4: a little experience too, in a situation like they built

109
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 4: this team to win not just this year but next year.

110
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 4: With getting Robbie Ray in that one trade, with getting Admis,

111
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 4: extending Matt Chapman, those are all well, not the Robbie

112
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 4: Ray stuff. But this kind of is their window and

113
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 4: they need to add to this team. It's got to

114
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 4: be somebody. You know, his buddy, the first base coach Hallberg.

115
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 4: I don't see your first time manager being that guy.

116
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 4: Before Bob Melvin got that job. Bob kind of came

117
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 4: out of nowhere for that job. After the Padres got

118
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 4: rid of him. It was gonna be Steven Votes. Stephen

119
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 4: Vote was going up to San Francisco. Look at what

120
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 4: he's done since he's been in Cleveland. Could that have happened?

121
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 4: Maybe Buster sees a diamond in the rough somewhere with

122
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 4: somebody and he doesn't need to go to me. I

123
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 4: think that the top candidate should be Skip Schumacher. He's real,

124
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 4: Buster's real, He's had success.

125
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: I love Skip. There's a problem.

126
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 3: Though he works with the Rangers.

127
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: No, he's not a catcher.

128
00:05:59,000 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 3: Oh that doesn't matter.

129
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: Do you think Buster Posey wants a catcher? I say

130
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 1: it half jokingly, but no.

131
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 4: Do you want somebody? He wants somebody that's like him,

132
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 4: focused to able to connect with people, but also knows

133
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 4: how to win. That's it. He doesn't want eye wash.

134
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 4: There's a couple of people in this list. I'm not

135
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 4: going to name him that our eye wash, and I

136
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 4: don't think busters about that life catcher, outfielder, first base coat.

137
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 4: Whatever I think he is, he wants a certain I

138
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 4: think he would want a certain type of manager to

139
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 4: come in, and I think that certain type of manager

140
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 4: is closer to his personality than the look at me

141
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 4: type of manager.

142

00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: Susan Slusser has put out a list in her column

162
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: of possible replacements. That's what krats is talking about here,

163
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: Bruce Bochie, Skip Schumacher. I wanted to pause, so maybe

164
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: you guys can answer after I give the rest. David Ross,

165
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: Mark Halberg, who's the first base coach and is tight

166
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: with Buster. And then the next layer of the list,

167
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: she puts Javier Lopez, Nick Hnley, Randy Winn, Kurt Cassally,

168
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: Craig Albernass who's the Guardian's assistant manager and worked on

169
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: Kapler's giant staff. Although that doesn't have much to do

170
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: with Posey, and.

171
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 3: I don't want nothing to do with anybody was on

172
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:26,239
Speaker 3: gay cap.

173
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: Now that's what I'm saying. But Casally could be the

174
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: Stephen vote move that's what's in Like Craig.

175
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 4: I like Craig. I think he's probably a manager in waiting.

176
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 4: But don't put his name with Greg, with with Gabe.

177
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 4: Don't don't. That's like, that's like putting anybody on the

178
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 4: White Sox staff with their ex manager. Just don't put

179
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 4: certain people's names. It tarnishes them.

180
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: Who's the pick, who's the predicted pick? And who would you?

181
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 4: Let's just why.

182
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 2: I just don't think he would do that. He doesn't

183
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 2: want to tarnish his rep. He doesn't want to do that.

184
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: I think he's like.

185
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 2: He's out this time, he's out David Ross, I don't

186
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 2: know that's a fit. I mean, Hallberg seems like the

187
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 2: good one. Buster knows him better than anybody. I mean,

188
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 2: Hobvey Lopez. Why because he's on TV, I mean Nick Hunley,

189
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 2: because he's around, because they're just because I'm a next

190
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 2: giant hire me Buster. I'm gonna hi. I played for

191
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 2: the Giants, my numbers, retired buster, I was a catcher.

192
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 2: I click all the fight.

193
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: Criteria, Barry Bonds raising his hand, I played.

194
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 3: I'll I don't think Barry's doing that.

195
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: Who do you think is the guy then on this

196
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: list I think would be.

197
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 2: A good one. I think Hallberg are probably out of

198
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 2: this list. Would be my top two that I'm looking

199
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 2: at on this list, Crats.

200
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 4: I like Skip. I think if I think if Buster

201
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 4: truly would interview Skip. Obviously this is just a Susan

202
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:53,719
Speaker 4: Slusher Slusher list, I think there would be I think

203
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 4: there'd be a good connection there if Skip doesn't want

204
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 4: the Rangers job, if Boach leave. So there's there's a

205
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 4: little bit.

206
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: Of that, okay. And then the next layer for the

207
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: Giants is how do they get over the hump?

208
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 2: Hey, they had two guys hit thirty homers this year,

209
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,719
Speaker 2: Raffi and Willia Domas did it.

210
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: They didn't really count devers I Adamis really did it

211
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: hit thirty? He hit thirty first giant since Barry Bonds

212
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: in two thousand and four? Is that what it was?

213
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: I think it was four?

214
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 2: I was there other connection?

215
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: Mm hmm?

216
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 4: Right is my choice? AJ's my choice in that list.

217
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 3: First love that in San Francisco if.

218
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: They cheered to no end, it would make noise to

219
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: no end? First, righty? Since Jeff Kennan O two so

220
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,599
Speaker 1: Domas ended up with thirty homers.

221
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 2: On the number we thought it would be so there

222
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 2: and it was a Domas, remember a Damas, and everyone

223
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 2: dumps went had a good year. He ended up right

224
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 2: about where he should have been.

225
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: He did, he did.

226
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 4: RAFFI played one hundred and sixty three games. It's a record.

227
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 4: I forget when the last time somebody played one hundred

228
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 4: and sixty three games in a season. It's pretty cool record.

229
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 4: Which other teams could have gotten played one und sixty three,

230
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 4: but justin Moore no did against two thousand and eight?

231
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 4: Is that what it was?

232
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: And the Giants had pretty good attendance. I didn't see

233
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: final numbers, but it was definitely up this year, and

234
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: I think that had to do with Posey and bringing

235
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: in names that are going to be there for a while.

236
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,719
Speaker 1: I truly believe in that. So I think Buster might

237
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: play a little bit more checkbook baseball over the offseason if.

238
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 4: They let him.

239
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: But I think he has their ear better than most do.

240
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 2: Right.

241
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: It's tougher to tell Buster no, especially when he looks

242
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: back and says, listen, guys, I just came in. I

243
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: got you a superstar name, Endeavors, I got you higher attendance.

244
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: I'm sure the team made good money this year, Let's

245
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: keep spending and let's get some more help for this team,

246
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: because they were close. That's a five hundred team. So

247
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: they won eighty two games or eighty one game, sorry,

248
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,839
Speaker 1: eighty one and eighty one. The team that made the

249
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: playoffs in the National League in the last seat won

250
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: how many games? Eighty three? Was it four?

251
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 3: Three?

252
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: Eighty three games? They were two wins away. It's not

253
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: very far away.

254
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 4: They need Obviously, you're always gonna say this about the Giants.

255
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 4: They need to continue to add pop to the lineup.

256
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 4: But I think bus I'm just basing it on busters

257
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 4: track to the big leagues. They had dudes from the

258
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 4: minor leagues that were then supplemented with other guys around them.

259
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 4: Now they have guys that are in positions that they

260
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 4: brought in and are paying some cashish to. They need

261
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 4: guys like Bryce Eldrid. They need guys like Tyler Fitzgerald.

262
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 4: They need guys like ili O Ramos to take their

263
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 4: next step, whatever their next step is, for this team

264
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 4: to contend. I don't think you can go out and say, Okay,

265
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 4: we're gonna go and get Pete Alonso, We're gonna go

266
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 4: and get Zach Gallon to pitch for us. Like, I

267
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 4: think they do need to add a starting pitcher, and

268
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 4: they need to definitely solid a by that bullpen. They

269
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 4: thought daval was going to be the guy. Is Ryan

270
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 4: Walker a closer or an ath inning guy? To me

271
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 4: that those pieces, there's pieces that are there to be

272
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 4: able to be a really good defending team. Now they

273
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 4: have to add to it and hopefully this manager comes

274
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,719
Speaker 4: in and creates that winning environment that Buster expects a lot.

275
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 2: You just let you just wrat him off a lot

276
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 2: of holes though.

277
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they're going to be aggressive this offseason. I

278
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: think I do. I do think their payrolls it's like

279
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: I think middle of the pack from what I remember.

280
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, they listen, they can spend if they want.

281
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're the Giants. But the key is, you know

282
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 2: they you know, what does Verlander do? Does he come back?

283
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 2: How do they figure out the bullpen? Can they find

284
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 2: more offense? Can they play better defense? Is Patrick Bailey

285
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 2: their catcher? Right?

286
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 3: They got some serious questions.

287
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 1: One more to finish this. Bob Melvin, is he going

288
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,719
Speaker 1: to get another game? You think he'll be in the.

289
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 2: West because he's Arizona Giants, Oakland, San Diego.

290
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: Rockies, Rockies. Maybe you think you're gonna get another gig.

291
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: You don't think he's been doing it for a long time. Three.

292
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: I think he's twenty something years, twenty five years or

293
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: something managing.

294
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 4: At this point.

295
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: I mean this with all due respect. I think sometimes

296
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: you could be a little past your prime. Where he

297
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: was thriving with the A's kind of had some up

298
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: his ups and downs more talented rosters. He's never won

299
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: I know, a World Series. No, not close. I don't

300
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: think he's ever brought the team to the World Series, right,

301
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: which one.

302
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 3: Do you have been with? None of those teams I

303
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 3: name made it.

304
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: No, the A's had some nice runs during the season

305
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: to get to the playoffs, but never went over the hump.

306
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: And I think that was where he really shined with

307
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: those types of teams. So maybe he's more of a

308
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: small market rebuild. Yeah, that was the bright shining moment.

309
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: So I don't know, We'll see. I'm not sure. I

310
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: don't know if he definitely gets a gig, just throwing

311
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: it out there. The Pirate ordered more, Don Kelly. He

312
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: has been extended. I'm not surprised the Pirates did play

313
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: better under him and also Bob Nutting doesn't give him

314
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: a fuck.

315
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I really like.

316
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 3: Donkey, Yeah, I really, this is this is really honest.

317
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 2: I do like Don Kelly a lot. He's a great guy.

318
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 2: He's always been good to talk to. But without even

319
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 2: going out if they want to hire This kind of

320
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 2: goes back to the we talked about the White Sox

321
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 2: and how they did it, like go outside the organization

322
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 2: at least, like you you can tell Don Kelly, look,

323
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 2: we're gonna hire you, but we're just gonna talk to

324
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 2: these other people. But I don't know if maybe they

325
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 2: were thinking maybe Don Kelly could get a chance at

326
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 2: another job that might pay him more. See that's kind

327
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 2: of where you know what I'm saying, like, hey, don

328
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 2: we're gonna hire you, but we're just gonna interview some

329
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 2: other people just to get some ideas, and we can

330
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 2: use those ideas.

331
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: Free info for several days.

332
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 4: I don't know. They playing flight the plane tickets were

333
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 4: too expensive to pay for people to come in with Pittsburgh.

334
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: That is true. That is true. That does go against

335
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: the budget, which would prevent them from signing play up.

336
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: They don't do that. This is the Dodgers rotation. Game one,

337
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: Snell Game two, Yamamoto Game three, Otani. We also learned

338
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: that Kershaw is not going to be on the roster.

339
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: Any surprises here.

340
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 2: I thought Yamamoto would probably go game one, but I

341
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 2: get it. Snell has the pedigreen all that, And I

342
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 2: don't know what the Reds numbers exactly are against lefties,

343
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 2: but I think they're much worse against lefties, so I

344
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 2: think that's why they're doing that. And then Otani game three,

345
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 2: if it gets it would be very interesting. It gives

346
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 2: them the day off if they win, to get ready

347
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 2: for the next round. So I think this is kind

348
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 2: of what we expected. But the Reds haven't had a

349
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 2: lot of success against LA the last couple of years.

350
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: We'll see and or Otani would start game one of

351
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: the next round if they get it done with two games. Yeah,

352
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: that's what they said.

353
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 3: At least that makes sense.

354
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 4: Yeah.

355
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 3: The bigger question is after Hunter Green, who's pitching.

356
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: For the Reds exactly?

357
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 4: Tell baby, I guess, I guess that's a guy.

358
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 1: Bullpen Chase Burns couple innings if he's not used in

359
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:11,719
Speaker 1: Game one. Suitor B Suitor b okay aj our slab

360
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: pack ripping, continues. Now you just ripped a card that

361
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: I think you're actually going to keep.

362
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 2: I am, I'm gonna keep it. It's a Ken Griffy

363
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 2: Junior Rookie card. The old is the famous upper Deck

364
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 2: one I believe it is. And yeah, heck ya, I'm

365
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 2: gonna keep it because I'm gonna get Griffy to sign it.

366
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get him to send it to me. What

367
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 2: you can do, and I'm gonna get Griffy to sign it,

368
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 2: and it's only gonna make it worth more. So I

369
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 2: am all in on this card. I'm keeping it, and

370
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 2: it is one of the coolest cards with the highest

371
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 2: turtle neck you've ever seen and the gold chain around

372
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 2: his neck.

373
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,959
Speaker 1: Graded nine nineteen eighty nine upper Deck. You got the

374
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 1: offer for one seventy nine. It's valued at around one

375
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 1: ninety nine. And you're like, nah, I'm keeping it. But

376
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 1: if you want it to sell it back instantly, you can.

377
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: It's the beauty of Arena Club. AJ's going to send

378
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 1: in and get the physical card sent to him, and

379
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: you could do the same sent off your first slab

380
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: pack or card purchase. Can happen for you if you

381
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 1: go to Arena Club Dot com slash foul and use

382
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 1: the code foul better than box scores. Let's give proper

383
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 1: love to the Cincinnati Reds losing their way into the WAKA.

384
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: I'm kidding, I'm kidding. They had a nice weekend. They

385
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 1: did fall in the final game, which was a must win,

386
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,199
Speaker 1: but the Mets weren't much more of a disaster. This

387
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: team's played five hundred ball for a while, but guess

388
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 1: what if you play five hundred ball for most of

389
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: the season, you.

390
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 5: Got a chance to make it into the playoffs. And

391
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 5: the Reds kept themselves enough in the mix. The Mets

392
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 5: also fell apart, and here they are to pick up

393
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 5: the pieces and face the Dodger.

394
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 2: Terry Frankcona and the Reds. I mean, listen, I bet

395
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 2: we talked about the stat I just said.

396
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 3: I did a game on Saturday.

397
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 2: They hadn't beaten the Brewers thirteen straight series, I think

398
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 2: it was, and they win this series. They win the

399
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 2: first two games to put the pressure on the Mets,

400
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 2: and the Mets couldn't do it because don't forget, the

401
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 2: Mets went into this series of the one game lead. Yes, right,

402
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 2: so they win two out of three, they're probably in

403
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 2: and they lose two out of three and that gets

404
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 2: into the tie, which gets him in. So I listen.

405
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 2: Tremendous job by Terry Francona managing the bullpen. The bullpen

406
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 2: has been incredible for the last month or so. Hunter

407
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 2: Green's been great. Andrew Rabbits faded a little bit, but

408
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 2: he was great. All your Brady Singer has been really

409
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 2: good for him Latel's been good since they picked him up.

410
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 2: They have Lodolo. They don't know what they're gonna.

411
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:34,239
Speaker 4: Do with him.

412
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 3: He pitched out of the bullpen yesterday. So listen.

413
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 2: This Reds team, I don't know if they'll get very

414
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 2: far in the playoffs, but they deserve a ton of

415
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 2: credit for getting in.

416
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: I think their pitching can keep up with LA. The

417
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: offenses are rattic.

418
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 2: Spencer Steer has been good. Ellie's kind of got a

419
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 2: little bit better.

420
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: But you've gotten better lately the last few weeks. Is

421
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: getting on base more. There's a little more oppostic field pop,

422
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: but he doesn't look like the li were expecting. And

423
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: then Noel Martez had some nice moments at the plate. TJ.

424
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: Friedel gets on base, Yeah, that's it.

425
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 3: They strike out so much though they strike out so

426
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 3: much against a team of the Dodgers that's built on striking.

427
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 1: You to me, Kratz, if they're going to pull off

428
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 1: victories against the Dodgers, their pitching is gonna be nails

429
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: from start to finish. Right, You're gonna get like a

430
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,479
Speaker 1: dominant Green start. We talked about how the bullpen's been

431
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: really good, and then you're gonna like scratch some of

432
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,479
Speaker 1: those playoff runs together, right, Freedol gets on or Steer

433
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: and Ellie creates some offense, or maybe they run they

434
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 1: get really aggressive against the catching corps for the Dodgers.

435
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: What do you think?

436
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 4: I mean, that's to me, that's the only way, like

437
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 4: I could see these games if Hunter Green comes out

438
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 4: and is just nails like he has been the last

439
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 4: two seasons. Yes, you know, maybe Nick Martinez gives them

440
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 4: some length and some games out of the pen, Like

441
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 4: I just I don't. I don't know where they find

442
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 4: that offense that is going to be the biggest thing.

443
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 4: I think that the first I wish I remember the

444
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 4: four stats, but they're the first team to make the

445
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 4: playoffs without somebody that hit over two hundred, without over

446
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 4: twenty five.

447
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 2: It was like two seventy twenty five homers, one hundred RBI's.

448
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 3: And something still it was it was a.

449
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 4: Crazy and and two hundred strikeouts. They don't have anybody

450
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 4: like that. But you know what the beauty of the

451
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 4: playoffs is is you're the Dodgers. Do not get caught

452
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 4: saving sho Heo Tani. If you think Showotani is your

453
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 4: best option, don't get caught saving him. That's all I

454
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 4: got to say. Because the Reds can throw out some

455
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 4: pitchers that can strike some dudes out, and they're throwing

456
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 4: him in Game one. You win Game one, all of

457
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 4: a sudden, now you're like, all right, well we could

458
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 4: still win two games. But our bullpen is kind of shaky.

459
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 4: And that's where I think the Reds could probably could

460
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 4: have a chance to take advantage of the Dodgers. Can

461
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 4: they build up enough of a pitch count for Blake

462
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 4: Snell in the first game, for Yamamoto in the second

463
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 4: game where they then have to make tough decisions who

464
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 4: comes into the bullpen, and the Reds can do it,

465
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 4: but the pitching needs to keep them in it because

466
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 4: they just don't see them getting more than two or

467
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 4: three runs against Blake Snell or Yamamoto, and.

468
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 1: It doesn't sound like they're necessarily going to do piggyback action.

469
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,719
Speaker 1: I mean, Kershaw's not playing in this series. We already

470
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 1: know that maybe Emma Chien picks up some innings for them,

471
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 1: but otherwise they're gonna have to see who's hot and

472
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 1: who's not carrying it over from the regular season.

473
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 2: I don't think that they want to do a piggybally.

474
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 2: They've tried that in the past and hasn't worked. I

475
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 2: don't think that the piggyback is the way for them

476
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 2: to do it. I think they need to go to

477
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 2: the traditional Blake Snell give me six or seven, Yaalamoto,

478
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 2: give me six or seven. Show, Hey, give me six

479
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 2: or seven.

480
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 1: But then what last snow give me six or seven?

481
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:48,959
Speaker 1: Then what does it look like?

482
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 2: Well, then you figure this them there. Messio obviously has

483
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 2: been their best option trying and you hope is fact

484
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 2: Tanner Scott figures it out because he gets an adrenaline spying.

485
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,199
Speaker 2: I I'm just saying that's what they're looking like for

486
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 2: this series. Again, I don't know that it's going to

487
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 2: matter against the Reds, just because one through twenty six,

488
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:07,959
Speaker 2: the talent there is a talent gap there.

489
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 3: And that's not a knock on the Reds guys. It

490
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:10,239
Speaker 3: just is what it is.

491
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 2: But when you get to the next round, we've got

492
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 2: to play the Phillies. That's when it's going to be like, okay,

493
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 2: now what do we do?

494
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: Yep?

495
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 3: Obviously if they get there, yeah, I mean there's an if.

496
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 3: There still is an if it's a.

497
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: Best of three. We've seen a lot of upsets in

498
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: this first round, so just keep that in mind. Last

499
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: part here, just on the Dodgers side, did you think

500
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: Kershaw was gonna appear as a reliever though for them?

501
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: Pitched okay the other day, but I guess it's a

502
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 1: bounce back situation. So if he pitches once for an

503
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: inning or two, then he's not going to pitch again,

504
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: so you're only getting an inning or two and a

505
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: three gamer.

506
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 3: I don't know what it is. Kind of happy the

507
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 3: way he ended it.

508
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: You think it should just be a great farewell at

509
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: home then in Seattle yesterday and that's it. Okay.

510
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,679
Speaker 4: I was so awesome how he ended it. But I

511
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 4: really thought he was going to be in the pan too.

512
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 4: Something had I don't know. We said it before our

513
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 4: show together like, I feel like, did he not recover

514
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,199
Speaker 4: well because they made that decision. They're like, ah, right,

515
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 4: well you're gonna start then in this meaningless game to

516
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 4: end the season if you're not because he threw out

517
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,199
Speaker 4: of the pen, and then it was like if you

518
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 4: have him in the pen, you can't take up a

519
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 4: spot in a pen, and he goes, I can't go

520
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 4: back to back or you need to throw me three

521
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 4: innings and then I'll give you I need three days rest.

522
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 4: Like I felt like that decision seemed like it was

523
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 4: made pretty quickly and maybe this is just a DS thing.

524
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 1: I don't know right things could change, or a wild

525
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: card because then DS, you've got a best of five,

526
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 1: so we'll see what happens.

527
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 2: There's definitely a bounce back thing. Yeah, and his age,

528
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,239
Speaker 2: he was probably like I can't bounce back. Guys, you're

529
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 2: gonna need more than me.

530
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: Right, And they might need a lot of help depending on.

531
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 4: They have glass Now down there. Imagine Glass now coming

532
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 4: in to close the game for three innings.

533
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 2: Dude, Well, the Reds are gonna get on base and

534
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 2: just try to steal. That's that's the game.

535
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 4: That is true.

536
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 1: That is true. There was a famous game with Glass.

537
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,919
Speaker 1: Now against Elu, I think he stole like four bases

538
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 1: off them or something.

539
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 2: If it gets on, it's just go yeah, it's like, no,

540
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,919
Speaker 2: he's not evenna wait any time, Oh you're on li,

541
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 2: just just go. It's gonna be like just the third

542
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 2: base coach is gonna be like whenever you're ready.

543
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 1: Go yep, it's gonna be fun. It's gonna be goodest. Hey,

544
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: we're back and the Astros are not back in October

545
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: for the first time since twenty sixteen, almost a decade

546
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: of Astro's playoff baseball and Astro's dominating the Al West.

547
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 1: We knew that wasn't going to happen in the last

548
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: week when the Mariners went on a run over the

549
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: last few weeks. But crats, Are you surprised that they crumbled,

550
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: especially against some competition that you think they could have handled,

551
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: or did you say, hey, this is one of the

552
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 1: only teams in baseball that really was missing superstars and

553
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: couldn't figure it out with what they had left the scraps?

554
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, they always prided themselves in having a

555
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 4: young corps that seemed like they played every single day.

556
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 4: Those guys got hurt. I mean, the guys that they

557
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 4: took from the Kyle Tucker trade. Cam Smith had a

558
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 4: good stretch of the season where he was good. He

559
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 4: started out rough and then it was really good, and

560
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 4: then it kind of you know, the season is long

561
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 4: when you have a young guy playing in those positions.

562
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 4: Parades missed the last part of the season and came back.

563
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 4: It wasn't one hundred percent healthy. They played the whole

564
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 4: season without your don But really, did the Astros just

565
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 4: put themselves in this situation. They could have resigned Bragman.

566
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 4: They do spend a lot of money. I'm not saying

567
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 4: they don't. They could have. They know what kind of

568
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,360
Speaker 4: winner he was and is, and they could have kept

569
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 4: Tucker for one more year and got a draft pick.

570
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 4: They chose not to. It looked like it was gonna

571
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 4: work out for him, and it didn't. The Mariners caught

572
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 4: up to him.

573
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 1: Also, if they took care of more bas against Sacramento

574
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 1: and the Angels, the Tigers gave them a nice lane.

575
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it just wasn't meant to be this year

576
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 2: for the Astros. I mean, you lose, we just heck,

577
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 2: we just went through it with the Mets. That's look

578
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 2: at what the Astros lost, Hater their closer they're arrested

579
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,199
Speaker 2: or Alvarez. Yeah, Parade's their their third baseman who they

580
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 2: were counting on. Jeremy Penyam is a significant chunk of time.

581
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 2: I mean their starters. Hunter Brown was great, from Berg,

582
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 2: was Fromberg.

583
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: He fell apart late for the most good ones.

584
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 2: And then he went crazy for a little while, right,

585
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 2: But I mean they lost Arraghetty, who they were counting on.

586
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:32,479
Speaker 2: They lost a lot of guys they were counting on,

587
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 2: and that's not an excuse, but it was just time,

588
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 2: like this is why it's so hard to win in baseball.

589
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: And they still finished with eighty seven wins matched with

590
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: the Tigers. They just lost the tie breaker, so one

591
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 1: more win like Friday night they lost the two homer

592
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: trout game. If they win that game, they're in the

593
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 1: playoffs over the Tigers.

594
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,360
Speaker 2: Big, big losses they tried to cover for. I mean,

595
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 2: I think they'll be back in it again next year,

596
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 2: or back in the race again next year.

597
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: I'm just surprised with all that they had a lane

598
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 1: one game in Sacto or one game against the Angels

599
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: here and they would have been in Let's preview the

600
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: Tigers and the Guardians who are going to play some

601
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 1: early action coming up in these wild card games. I

602
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: feel like they knew that was common. They're gotting to

603
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 1: one o'clock East Coast time game in the slot when

604
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: you have you know what A one, A three, A six,

605
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 1: and uh eight or nine? Yeah, so hey, this is

606
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 1: gonna be fun. The games that we've seen from these

607
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: two teams the last couple of weeks have been really good.

608
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 4: Yeah.

609
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 3: Game one school Ball against Williams. I'm assuming again we just.

610
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: Saw it, saw it and they did what you said.

611
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 2: The last couple of weeks in that matchup, they haven't

612
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 2: exactly beat Schoogle well, first when they just last them.

613
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 2: The second one they short, they small balled into death?

614
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 2: What do they I mean if listen, if I'm the Guardians,

615
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 2: I go into the saying, man, we rattled the best

616
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 2: pitcher in baseball by bunting and stealing and doing all

617
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 2: kinds of goofiness. Guess what first bat of the game,

618
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 2: Steven Kuangun.

619
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe I think some of the other guys

620
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: should be bunting.

621
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 2: True, get quant on base havoc, That's what I'm saying.

622
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: Ken Rosenthal had fair territory, and he did all of

623
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: his previews, so check that out after our show if

624
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: you'd like. He said, this is one of the worst

625
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: offenses of all time. To make the postseason, right, you

626
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: have more postseason slots nowadays, that's part of it. But

627
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: their ranks in terms of offense are really really bad.

628
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: Now we look at ranks for the entire season. Things

629
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: do change, be better, yes, but that's where the Tigers

630
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: have an edge. Right, they should have a little bit

631
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: of a better line.

632
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 2: Talk about team that strikes out too much. I just

633
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 2: said the red strike out a lot. Look at the Tigers.

634
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 2: Tigers strike first against Kevin Williams, oh boy, because.

635
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 4: He throws a curveball. They can't hit a curveball, and

636
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 4: they're not gonna be hit in a day sunlight, when

637
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 4: the shadows start creeping in. It's gonna be the pillow

638
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 4: fight and the sponge Bob game. Whenever we play at

639
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 4: twelve o'clock game. In the minor leagues, there was always

640
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 4: a SpongeBob game because it's a bunch of kids there

641
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 4: and they were like always playing SpongeBob SquarePants song. And

642
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 4: these two teams aren't hitting like they aren't hitting, and

643
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:22,479
Speaker 4: they have to face two legit pitchers. It just it doesn't.

644
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 4: It doesn't make for must see TV, except for the

645
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 4: fact that Terrek Scoogle's.

646
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:30,959
Speaker 1: Gone pillow fight in the SpongeBob game.

647
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 2: Yeah. But here's the thing, listen, that's good. The Guardians

648
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 2: have actually swung the battle up better they have. I mean,

649
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 2: you got to you gotta look at their numbers.

650
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 3: Lately. They've been a lot better. The Tigers are.

651
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 2: We all talk about the Mets. The Tigers are thinking

652
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 2: the Mets because they blew the largest lead of all

653
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 2: time to not win the division. Now, they got in

654
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 2: because of the extra wildcard, but they had a fifteen

655
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 2: and a half game lead over the Guardians and blew it.

656
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 2: They had like a ten game lead at the beginning

657
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 2: of September and lost It's they had the worst record

658
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 2: of all time in September of a team to make

659
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 2: the postseason. Like, they're not going in with any momentum.

660
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 2: They're momentum is all right. We have Trek Scubel and

661
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 2: then Casey Maiz and Jack Felaherty and a bullpen that's

662
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 2: been getting whacked around the yard for last month and

663
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 2: a half. The Guardians have all the momentum. We got

664
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 2: Austin Hedges up there doing all the kind of cheerleading

665
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 2: stuff on the rail. And I mean, Cleveland, show up.

666
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 3: Cleveland, show up for these three games.

667
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: Oh, they will show up.

668
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 2: I'm just saying please, because you guys can be great.

669
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: And show up. Detroit punted on the Sunday game for

670
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: Schooble to pitch in this series because maybe Scooble wins

671
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: on Sunday and then the series is at home. But

672
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 1: we did that question of the Week last week that

673
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 1: you brought up. You need Schooble school is he's the

674
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: most advantage player on a team in the playoffs. Now,

675
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: he's the one.

676
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 2: He's probably the well, I will say the most important,

677
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 2: but he's for his team. He's probably the most important

678
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 2: player on his team.

679
00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 4: Yeah MVP. Wait, wait, shouldn't he get MVP votes? Then

680
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 4: if he's the most valuable player.

681
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 1: You should get I'm not gonna win MVP.

682
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 4: I know.

683
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 2: I mean the fans I'm talking. I'm not talking about

684
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 2: the players.

685
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 3: I'm talking about the fans.

686
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 4: Fans have to take a longer lunch break. It's a

687
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 4: lunchtime game.

688
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 1: Everybody can take off work for a one o'clock but

689
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 1: somebody's got to do it. Not every game is going

690
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: to be prime time, and if you keep advancing, you'll

691
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 1: eventually get the prime time Guardians took on the Yankees

692
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: last year. Then you get a little prime time prime time.

693
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 2: Then.

694
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. So the Tigers lost twelve of thirteen through the

695
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 1: middle of July, remember that tough stretch out of the

696
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 1: All Star break, and then eleven of twelve through the

697
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: middle of last week. I mean, those are some really,

698
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: really bad times. And meanwhile, the Guardians this month twenty

699
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: and seven, they're hot. Now, statistically, like I was talking

700
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: about with the offense, guess how many players with at

701
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: least twenty games this season have an above average offensive

702
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: performance for the year. That means over one hundred ops

703
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: plus one hundred Guess how many?

704
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 4: Yeah?

705
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 3: Three?

706
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 1: Two?

707
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 4: That's it.

708
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 2: Only two only didn't make it.

709
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 1: I don't have the names, but I think, yeah, Ramirez

710
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: and in Kwan, Yeah, I think so. Did Quan finish

711
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: above it?

712
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 3: Who's the other one?

713
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: No, I don't. I only had the number, not the names.

714
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: I should have. Kuan finished at ninety six.

715
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 3: Who's the other one?

716
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: Probably Mansard is my guest, right Let me double check

717
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: real quick. Love doing stats on the fly here, but

718
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: I set myself up for that one. Yeah, Mansard. So

719
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 1: those are the two. That's it. Everybody else The winner

720
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: be interesting winter Faces.

721
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 2: The Mariners winters got to travel to Seattle, which is

722
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 2: going to be unbelievable atmosphere.

723
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: Who do you think wins this? Who do you do

724
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 1: you think that the Guardians had the edge because of

725
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: what they do.

726
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 2: Think in my head, in my everything in my heart

727
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 2: is the Tigers should win this series, just because if

728
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 2: you look at all the stats and everything, but then

729
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 2: just you go back to they just played each other

730
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 2: twice and the Guardians win I think five out of six, and.

731
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: The playoff worthy games.

732
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 2: Playoff games, the Guardians won five out of six. The

733
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 2: Guardians beat him last year. Again, everything says the Tigers

734
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 2: should win. But there's also a big part of my

735
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 2: heart that's like the Guardians are gonna win because they

736
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 2: just don't want to win.

737
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,879
Speaker 1: Yeah. I also just think for me, Kratz, my head

738
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: thinks Guardians, which is why I'll probably go with Tigers,

739
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: because that's just how these kind of wildcard matchups go,

740
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: where you're like, Tigers have no momentum, they haven't beat Cleveland,

741
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: and do you really think they're gonna keep losing schoobl games?

742
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 1: What They've lost like three or four of his last start.

743
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,919
Speaker 1: I'm like, eventually he's just going to have one where

744
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,879
Speaker 1: it's like there's no duck snorts and he pitches seven

745
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: or eight shutty and he gets a homer or two

746
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 1: and then they're up one zero in the series and

747
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:50,919
Speaker 1: they got to win one more.

748
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 4: I mean, it's kind of dominated the Guardians. I know

749
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 4: they've beaten them the last two times. I'm trying to

750
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 4: think the other time, the third start this year against them,

751
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 4: You think that first start, I mean, he's gone thirteen strikeouts,

752
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 4: eight strikeouts, nine strikeouts, ten strikeouts against them. To me,

753
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 4: I think, and I guess I'm putting too much weight

754
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:16,240
Speaker 4: on the first game. I'm thinking the Tigers take the series.

755
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,280
Speaker 4: I really, I really think that. I think there's somebody

756
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 4: on their offense is gonna step up, or the matchup

757
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:26,320
Speaker 4: is favorable to a Tigers hitter, like a like a

758
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 4: Kerry Carpenter, like a like a Parker Meadows, because they

759
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:34,839
Speaker 4: can't just keep matching up and winning those battles. If

760
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 4: you're the Guardians, they have the Yeah, I know they

761
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 4: have message.

762
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 1: He's like that was that his big thing over fresh season?

763
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 1: Fresh season, we.

764
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 2: Have to say that. Every team says that. That gets

765
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 2: in kind of back doors. They're winning. Oh it's a

766
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,879
Speaker 2: new season, let's go guys. The teams that are hot

767
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 2: on the stretch, the guardians are like, oh, it's a

768
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 2: new season. They're like, let's keep it going.

769
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 1: But the rare let's keep me going, dude. Two years ago,

770
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 1: the Rangers had a bad last week and then that

771
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 1: made them have to not win the division and go

772
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: to Tampa Bay and we're like, oh, they're probably gonna

773
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: do nothing. And then they got hot as hell. Remember

774
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: they were not hot, No, they kind of fell in,

775
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 1: and then they won the World Series. I'm not saying

776
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: that's happening here. I'm just saying I don't buy a

777
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: lot of momentum. Maybe we'll do a momentum momentum in October. Yes,

778
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 1: momentum from regular season. I think that's a different season.

779
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 1: That's me and there's some research to back that up,

780
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 1: which we can talk about tomorrow.

781
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 4: I talked to somebody with the Tigers and they said

782
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 4: I truly had one hundred percent belief that we were

783
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 4: going to get in until the Nacho Alvarez game. Then

784
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,479
Speaker 4: I thought we were cursed, is exactly. I just went

785
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 4: back and read his text and he was like, I

786
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 4: thought the Nacho Alvarez game was cursed if you're not

787
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 4: a Tigers fan. Nacho Alvarez had zero home runs on

788
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 4: the season. He hit two against them, and it looked

789
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 4: like that was the game that was going to knock

790
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 4: the Tigers out of it, and it was like just

791
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 4: a bad stretch. So they're being honest. They're a real

792
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 4: team and it's played by human beings the Tigers. I

793
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 4: think the Tigers on paper are a better team. That's it.

794
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 1: Congrats to the Blue Jays, first Al East crown since

795
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen. We'll sprinkle in some Blue Jays talking this

796
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: next segment too, but we'll also preview the Red Sox

797
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 1: and the Yankees. It was a fun game to watch yesterday.

798
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 1: The city knew what was at stake. That's the thing is,

799
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 1: for all their games in the last week and a

800
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 1: half or so, the city knew what was at stake, right, like,

801
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 1: we need to take a division. They've also seen a

802
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:46,240
Speaker 1: lot of heartbreak crats. They've lost three wild card rounds

803
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 1: in a row. They're like, we need to avoid this

804
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: best out of three crap and move on, and they did.

805
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 4: We did. It wasn't just the fans. I mean to

806
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 4: go back to what George Springers said, Oh might as

807
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 4: well just give the give the American League East to

808
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 4: the Yankees. And I think the last game, the last

809
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 4: series here, it truly looked like they were like, screw

810
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 4: who's behind us, We're beating the team in front of us,

811
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 4: and they put their best foot forward. They came out

812
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 4: and they banged. In the last game, they came out

813
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 4: and they hit home runs. A team that doesn't hit

814
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 4: home runs actually hit home runs. And so I think

815
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,360
Speaker 4: it's something that it almost seemed like it was a

816
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 4: different shift of like, oh no, what's gonna go wrong

817
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 4: looking or instead all right, how are we going to

818
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 4: win this game? Who's gonna step up? What's the next spot?

819
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: They lost six of seven, and then they finished the

820
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 1: year winning four in a row, and they had to

821
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 1: win all four of those games, as the Yankees won

822
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: eight in a row to end the year. Good for them,

823
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: Good for.

824
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 2: The Blue Jays, yea, happy for the Blue Jays, Happy

825
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 2: for John Schneider, what do you say the sky is

826
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 2: not effing falling. I told you all this Skuy is

827
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 2: not effing falling. Right, he was right. But also at

828
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 2: the same time, now they get a nice break. They

829
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 2: used Golsman because they wanted to win the division. They

830
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 2: get the nice break, and here they are. They're set up.

831
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 2: They can set their pitching up, they can set up

832
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 2: how they want to play, and they get a nice break.

833
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 2: And trust me, teams that say they don't want the

834
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:12,439
Speaker 2: break are lying because everybody wants his nice break. Aaron

835
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 2: Boom said it, yeah, we want the break. We want

836
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 2: to win the division and get the break absolutely, because

837
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 2: he gives you a chance to set everything up the win,

838
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 2: and it doesn't guarantee you're gonna win, but it helps you.

839
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 1: For me, forget about multi inning guy. Treya Savage has

840
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:27,320
Speaker 1: to be starting games for me. He did another five innings,

841
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 1: shut out five k's. I want him in the rotation.

842
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: He should be in the top three for me, right,

843
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 1: gossmand him sureser am I missing someone. Brios is hurt.

844
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: Bassett is still hurt. As far as I know, they're

845
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,879
Speaker 1: still figuring out what his deal is. It's those three.

846
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 4: Right.

847
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: Oh, and Bieber, that's her four and.

848
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 3: Lower is a longo.

849
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think sure, just starts in the first series.

850
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 1: In the DS. I don't know, So go Bieber. You

851
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:58,839
Speaker 1: don't get this savage right?

852
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:01,399
Speaker 3: It all has the extra day off the game.

853
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: Oh, we'll get into that, dude. All right, we got

854
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: a few minutes to get to the Padres and the Cubs.

855
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:17,280
Speaker 1: And this just in for FT fans. Padres Cubs postgame

856
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: show live on the FT YouTube channel. So we're looking

857
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 1: forward to that one. That game starts exactly when FT

858
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:26,359
Speaker 1: ends on Tuesday, three o'clock Eastern time, and then should

859
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 1: end whatever five point thirty ish, depending on how things go.

860
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: So we'll have a postgame show. Kate Horton out for

861
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: this series A J. I cannot emphasize how much of

862
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 1: a blow that is to the Cubs. Do you feel

863
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 1: the same way?

864
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:40,839
Speaker 2: Well, they showed us pitching first, right, yeah, and then

865
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,879
Speaker 2: boyd I'm guessing did they lay it out and then

866
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 2: tie on Game three.

867
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 1: Or bullpen tie on like ty on plus bullpen action

868
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: shor at least, Kate.

869
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 2: Horton has been one of the best pitchers in the

870
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 2: National League in the second half of the season. If

871
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 2: you don't know his numbers, check him out before he

872
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,879
Speaker 2: heard his ribs. Maybe remember when he pitched the game,

873
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 2: we said, why do only go three? Well, apparently he

874
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 2: had a broken rib. We didn't know that. We thought

875
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 2: they were just saving him. But he had broken ribs.

876
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 2: And listen, he was one of the best pitchers in

877
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 2: the second half in all of baseball. So, yes, this

878
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 2: is a big blow for them.

879
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 1: He would have started Game one.

880
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, because the Vinagha hasn't been great and Boyd

881
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:17,959
Speaker 2: hasn't been great in the second half either.

882
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 1: Do you know how it happened? He was sick and

883
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:23,280
Speaker 1: then it was from like a cough for a sneeze

884
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: or something like that, and then it messed up the rib.

885
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, damn, this kid has been electric in the

886
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,240
Speaker 1: second half of this good. He's been the best rookie

887
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,720
Speaker 1: starting pitcher or best rookie pitcher in the National League.

888
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: But krats, they won't have them. Do you think that

889
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 1: affects things enough to tilt the way you look at

890
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:40,240
Speaker 1: this series?

891
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 4: Yes, I mean I thought the Padres are gonna win

892
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,240
Speaker 4: it anyway. I just think it would have been much tougher.

893
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:48,879
Speaker 4: You face a guy like that early, especially a guy

894
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 4: he doesn't strike out a ton of batters, and the

895
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 4: Padres don't strike out. To me, that when those two

896
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 4: things match up, that's when the advantage goes to the

897
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 4: pitcher in my opinion, because when you face a team

898
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 4: that doesn't strike out much and you have a guy

899
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:08,879
Speaker 4: that's relying on off or I mean on strikeouts, they

900
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 4: just put the ball in play and that pitcher can't,

901
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 4: like play his game. I thought that was going to

902
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:14,800
Speaker 4: be a really tough matchup, and I thought he was

903
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 4: going to go Game one and shout that gives him

904
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:18,839
Speaker 4: a different look, even though it's from the left side

905
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,799
Speaker 4: and they hit the lefties. Well, I thought the Padres

906
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 4: have a slight advantage because of that bullpen shortening games.

907
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,839
Speaker 4: This definitely gives them a major advantage.

908
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 3: Padres don't hit lefties. I thought.

909
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 1: Padres don't hit left hit lefties?

910
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,839
Speaker 2: Did I say they do hit lefties? I don't hit

911
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 2: the Padres don't hit lefties. That's the one thing they

912
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 2: do have going for him is they have him ana and.

913
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 1: Void right, so you try and kryptonite them with that.

914
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 4: What did I do? Did I say they do hit lefties?

915
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:52,840
Speaker 3: Yeah?

916
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 1: I was reading about won while you guys were chatting.

917
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 3: So they don't hit the Padres don't hit lefties.

918
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 1: Right and so, by the way, because I was looking

919
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 1: at one of our North Side Territory guys, Patrick Mooney

920
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 1: said he's shut down for the foreseeable future with the

921
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 1: fractured rib.

922
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know when he's going to be back.

923
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 1: You gotta be careful too.

924
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:14,720
Speaker 2: Jason Hayward has the highest batting average for the Padres

925
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 2: verse lefties this year. Where do he at hey hit

926
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 2: two forty four the six ninety ops Verus lefties this year.

927
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 1: They're a huge home road split team this year, the

928
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:28,799
Speaker 1: Padres gigantic.

929
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:32,240
Speaker 2: Yes, well the actually the ops and stuff is very similar.

930
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 1: But the wins.

931
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, the record there.

932
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:37,840
Speaker 2: They're thirty eight and forty three on the road, fifty

933
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 2: twenty nine at home.

934
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:44,360
Speaker 4: That's more of what Pecho is. Pecko's I understand, freaking

935
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 4: their place.

936
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a Paveta Darvish king. Is that what

937
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 3: they're doing.

938
00:43:53,640 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 1: It's definitely Paveta. Games told us the other day, no cease, cease. Well,

939
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 1: look they might have said it, they haven't said it yet. No, Okay,

940
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 1: so we'll see, Hey, we just learned from Gabrielle Star

941
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 1: does a great job covering the Red Sox that Lucas

942
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:27,359
Speaker 1: Giolito will not be on the wildcard roster. He's got

943
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:29,800
Speaker 1: an elbow issue, so he's going to see a doctor

944
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 1: who performed surgery on him in March twenty twenty four

945
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 1: when he missed a year.

946
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:37,319
Speaker 4: I've hurt.

947
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 2: He's not one of their best. So who's going to

948
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:43,800
Speaker 2: be the third starter because he was going to be

949
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 2: the third guy? Beyo bullpen bullpen for three for Game

950
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 2: three in a wildcard.

951
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 1: If it gets her, I mean you can technically star

952
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 1: pressure on Crochet. Yeah, you can start totally or early,

953
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 1: or I would start totally without spending a lot of

954
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 1: time on the research yet to see everything totally at

955
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 1: Yankee Stadium. It's not going to give a crap no.

956
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:08,359
Speaker 1: Two things I want to get to you. One is

957
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 1: run differential. Now that the season's over, I would like

958
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 1: to bring up how fucking stupid run differential is. Cleveland

959
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:22,319
Speaker 1: won the divisions minus six Kansas City didn't make the

960
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:27,840
Speaker 1: playoffs plus fourteen. Toronto won the division plus seventy seven

961
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 1: second place Yankees plus one sixty four third place Boston

962
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 1: plus one ten. Remember the other day when Toronto lost

963
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 1: twenty to one, and then give a shit, that's twenty

964
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 1: or nineteen runs against their run differential? Run differential is

965
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 1: so stupid. What does it tell you? This team's probably good,

966
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 1: this team's probably not to tell you, I think wars

967
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:49,360
Speaker 1: at least a little better.

968
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 2: Except you can't if you No one can figure out

969
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:52,879
Speaker 2: how it's calculated. And there's two different ones, so choose

970
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:54,840
Speaker 2: your one. But other than that, it's a great step.

971
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 2: Do you agree we should rely on everything for do

972
00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 2: you agree run differentially super differential? It gives you a

973
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:03,239
Speaker 2: somewhat of a broad outline of much like war gives

974
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 2: you a broad outline of who's good. By the way,

975
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 2: do you know who led the National League in War

976
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:06,719
Speaker 2: this year?

977
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 1: Perdomo?

978
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:10,840
Speaker 2: Yeah?

979
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 1: For fangrafts. Is that where you're going off of?

980
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:12,919
Speaker 2: Yeah?

981
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 1: Which one?

982
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 2: I don't know one of them? Perdomo. You could have

983
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 2: bet a lot of people that don't know baseball a

984
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:20,720
Speaker 2: lot of money that he would have led the league

985
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:22,320
Speaker 2: in War, the National League over.

986
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 1: Right, show he wasn't even second in the National League,

987
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 1: you know, second? No Trey Turner, who just came back,

988
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 1: by the way, for the Phillies won the batting title. Yeah,

989
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:34,799
Speaker 1: because we didn't get to talk about the Phillies much.

990
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 1: I don't no l eight innings, So Phillies didn't got

991
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 1: much attention last few years.

992
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 2: But Phillies are a problem.

993
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:44,759
Speaker 1: They're a problem. Dodgers' territory is going to try and

994
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:49,240
Speaker 1: figure out the bullpen situation, so they need thirty minutes

995
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 1: for that. Crafts hats.

996
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:56,799
Speaker 4: Christopher Sanchez has a higher war than Paul Skeeves, so

997
00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 4: he should win the cy.

998
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 1: Young pitching word. Don't get me started. Why Yankees today?

999
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 4: Because the hottest team going into the playoffs and that

1000
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 4: matters zero.

1001
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,319
Speaker 1: All right, bet MGM, fam, open up your playbook, choose

1002
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 1: your boost SGP boost packs. Two chances to spike your odds.

1003
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 1: There's a Pro Football boost pack and three ways to

1004
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 1: boot your odds for your next bet. Activate one of

1005
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:27,800
Speaker 1: those boost tokens running Pro Football bet because there's a

1006
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 1: little money net football tonight. If you're a New Yorker

1007
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:32,720
Speaker 1: and you unfortunately root for the Mets and the Jets,

1008
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 1: maybe you should just hit BETAMGM instead and receive a

1009
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 1: bigger payout if your bet wins. If you activate a

1010
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 1: boost pack, gambling problem. More concern, called one eight hundred

1011
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 1: gambler
