But right now, just 19 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: under three minutes to go in the fourth quarter, Defying logic, 20 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers could walk away from Thursday Night 21 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: Football with a victory over the Rams. A go ahead 22 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: field goal has given them the twenty three to twenty lead. Again, 23 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 1: the Rams getting the ball back with just under three 24 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: minutes left to go. Mac Jones right now, two hundred 25 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: and ninety six yards through the air, a couple of touchdowns. 26 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,119 Speaker 1: His quarterback rating is over one hundred. Kendrick Bourne, who 27 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: many people are patting themselves on the back right now 28 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: because they probably picked him up in fantasy earlier today 29 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: and put him in their lineup. Ten catches for one 30 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: hundred and forty two yards for Kendrick Bourne. 31 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 4: Last minute add once everybody got ruled out, Like earlier 32 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 4: in the week, it was all right, are they gonna play? 33 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 4: I don't know today? All right, next man up with 34 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 4: Mac Jones, guy who's been working with on that second team. 35 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 4: By the way, ex bear Eddie Pinero with the field goal. 36 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: Ten for one forty two. It's like it's like Montana 37 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: and Rice the way these guys are hitting its and 38 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: this is and the thing is, this is a good defense, right, 39 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: this is a great defense today. Rams, No, it's terrible today. 40 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 4: You're letting long, protracted dry because that's the thing they've 41 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 4: had to work for every point. All these Rams are 42 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 4: quick ones here, yeah, getting it Tilly backups will come 43 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 4: in and they're working the Rams defense now still every 44 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 4: end was Christian McCaffrey and whoever else shows up from 45 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:13,079 Speaker 4: the forty nine ers. 46 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: Now, McCaffrey's having a nice night. He's got nearly one 47 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty total yards of offense. But it's not 48 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: like he's running the ball really well. They stopped them there. 49 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: But he does have six catches in the passing game. 50 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: He's been pretty good. 51 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 4: He's made his living this year, as someone might have 52 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 4: predicted on his show. 53 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: So here's a situation where it's we're hitting the two 54 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: minute warning and the Rams again down three to the 55 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: forty nine ers, but they are driving. It looks like 56 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 1: a holding penalty is going to give the Rams the 57 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 1: first down inside forty nine ers territory. So again, we'll 58 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 1: have more on this game coming up in a few minutes. 59 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: But first, hey, we now know where all the League 60 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,920 Speaker 1: Division series are going to be.

All 132 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 4: of a sudden, you get the catch by Ryan nick Mahon, 133 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 4: The New Jeter play right which we talked about it 134 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 4: a lot last hour. And here's Schlittler who comes in 135 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 4: and and shuts out the Red Sox for eight innings, 136 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 4: last two starts, fifteen innings pitched zo. 137 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: He's like the new Andy Pettitt. It's like Schlittler's the 138 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 1: right handed new Andy Pettitt. Nine strikeouts in that one, 139 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: twelve in this one. 140 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 4: Like now I'm thinking the Yankees are going from they're 141 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 4: gonna win the World Series. Now they're gonna be the 142 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 4: dynasty again. They're gonna win like four and five years 143 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 4: or something stupid like that, telling you made this it, 144 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 4: you get texting from Fabi iam. 145 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: No, I'm go I gotta block him. I gotta block 146 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 1: him because it's either that or it's a bad trade off. Yeah, 147 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: mostly it's bad trade off in fantasy. But then it 148 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: would be this. But you think about the Yankees tonight, like, 149 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: look when when I when when I picked the Yankees 150 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: last night to win tonight, to take Game three. The 151 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: Red Sox had control of this series, they had momentum, 152 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: and they went conservative throughout the entire game yesterday. Right, 153 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: you had uh Eaton not scoring when when he should 154 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: have scored on the infield hit even though he was 155 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: held up at third bait let him go like you 156 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: cold see they're not making that plays. And that's the 157 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: biggest play of this entire series. Right, you could talk 158 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: about Schlitler and McMahon's playing again. You're gonna hear it 159 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: again again, the new Jeter play. Uh, but the biggest 160 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: play of this series. First and second, nobody out, seventh 161 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: inning and Alex Korra tries to have rafaela bunt and 162 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: the bunt pops up to the pitcher. Now it's first 163 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: and second with one out. The Yankees get out of 164 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: the inning. You had the big Austin Wells hit in 165 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: the bottom of the eighth. They win Game two. They 166 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: seize the momentum and they never gave it back and 167 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: the Red Sox never scored again following that, which we 168 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: talked about it last night. Look, you know, I hate bunting. 169 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: I think bunting is an outdated way, an outdated baseball strategy. 170 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: And why Alex Korra was playing for one run in 171 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: the seventh inning of a tie game, I don't understand 172 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: when you have first and second and nobody out, what 173 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: are you doing? What are you doing trying to bunt 174 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: from a guy that you you know, Yes he's bunted 175 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: before in the past, but he's got what four sacrifice 176 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: buns in three years. Okay, now you're asking a butt 177 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: in the A in the divisional series here in New 178 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: York in the seventh inning, swing away, man, swing away. 179 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: Once the Red Sox went conservative, they gave the momentum 180 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: to the Yankees and they never gave it back. 181 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 4: I just don't understand how against the Yankees now you've 182 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,719 Speaker 4: had they had their number in the regular season, right, 183 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 4: ten and four, record, all of that stuff, But this 184 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 4: is a team that scores runs. They will come back. 185 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 4: One run was not changing that game, because that's what 186 00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 4: you're playing for. Right You go back and we talked 187 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 4: about it last I'd find the podcast wherever you get 188 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 4: your audio. We appreciate you, love you. But it was 189 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,679 Speaker 4: a long discussion about baseball as we were growing up, 190 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 4: where you always had the pitcher could be part of 191 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 4: the mix, so you had a lot of bunting there 192 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 4: instead of waving at three pitches for the striker. That's fine, 193 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 4: it existed then, but right now it really doesn't. Very 194 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 4: few teams try to execute it. Those that can't hit 195 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 4: home runs. Andre's had a lot of bunting during the year, 196 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 4: but they did none of it in the game against 197 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 4: the Cubs today. But you look at your opportunity you 198 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 4: squandered here. You had a couple of small threats again Schlittler, 199 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 4: but you did nothing with it. 200 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, he was. He was in control of the 201 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: entire game. And I think if Aaron Boone tried to 202 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 1: take him out, Yankee fans would have streamed out of 203 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: the stands. It could have been it like it was 204 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 1: like it was the the upset win last week. We said, Wow, 205 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 1: that's a that's a fast running on the field. Yeah 206 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 1: no against Florida's. 207 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 4: Florida guy didn't even get to get up off the mat. 208 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: That's how fast Yankee fans would have out there to 209 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: grab Aaron boots so he couldn't take Schlittler out. 210 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,679 Speaker 4: Of That was the one thing I kept trying to 211 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 4: find in our online search in that post game. That 212 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 4: guy's okay, right, I mean the way that that crowd 213 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 4: he charged, And you. 214 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,959 Speaker 1: Look at Schlitler and most strikeouts by a rookie in 215 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 1: a playoff game. You going back to, like I remember 216 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: when Mike Bottaker had thirteen strikeouts in a playoff game 217 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: in eighty three when the Orioles won the. 218 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,959 Speaker 4: World soonis such a big White Sox in the a 219 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 4: like this, like the side. 220 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: It's like the third most strikeouts of rookies had in 221 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: a game in the playoffs in baseball history. 222 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,839 Speaker 4: He was magnificent. He was hitting every every boat had 223 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 4: them chasing absolute command. I mean, he came into the 224 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 4: game with his two nine six e R and certainly 225 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,599 Speaker 4: we'd seen the punch out rate, but here in a 226 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 4: big moment like this to just dominate the way he 227 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 4: did from pillar to post and he was still throwing 228 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 4: clean and easy as he left after eight. Surprise he 229 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 4: didn't come back out to win the job. Well, four runs, 230 00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 4: I listen, if you don't have a closer that can close. 231 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,439 Speaker 4: Was a four run lead in the ninth inning of 232 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,439 Speaker 4: a game at home. He shouldn't be in Major League Baseball. Well, 233 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 4: you know you got you gotta keep it within a slam. 234 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 4: You know. 235 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 2: That was the old rule. 236 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 4: It's like, hey, we could be down, but you got 237 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 4: to keep it within a slam. Get him on, get 238 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 4: him over, get him in now. Fantastic effort to close 239 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 4: out the Red Sox Uh, they'll be ruining all of 240 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 4: those decisions yesterday, and I know they got defensive at 241 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 4: the Podium's like, well, it's easy to say you're. 242 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: Not on the field. 243 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,839 Speaker 4: It's like, no, I've got a better vantage point of 244 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 4: how much space he had has that ball got away? 245 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,599 Speaker 4: So yeah, I can say it from my perch. I 246 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 4: want to fight me, not Cam Newton over here with 247 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 4: a feather in his hat. 248 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: Let's go. No, no, no, Look, I've accepted. Yankees are gonna. 249 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: Yankees gonna win the World Series. I mean, I just 250 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: it's good to accept it. It's good there. I've accepted 251 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 1: it because I've accepted it. Once I accepted and they 252 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: do it, it won't hurt so bad. I have to 253 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: sit here and go look at the Mets and the big. 254 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,560 Speaker 4: All that stuff I'm gonna got. Just in a couple 255 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 4: of days, you've gone. You from trying to get through 256 00:11:59,360 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 4: the grief. 257 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 3: Man. 258 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: But from the drama of Yankees red Sox to the 259 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: drama right now between the forty nine ers and the Rams. 260 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: It looked like the Rams were going in for a 261 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: go ahead touchdown down twenty three to twenty to the 262 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: forty nine ers. They had driven down to the two 263 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: yard line. But for the second time this week, we 264 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: have seen a running back take a handoff and then 265 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,079 Speaker 1: eys getting really big for the goal line forgets one 266 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: thing holding on to the football. Kyron Williams fumble punch out. 267 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: The ball is punched out at the two. The Niners 268 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: take over at their own one yard line. Okay, that's it, 269 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: Niners are gonna win. Except Rams had all three timeouts left. 270 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,839 Speaker 1: They called all their timeouts. The forty nine Ers made 271 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 1: them use the timeouts, So now the Rams are getting 272 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,599 Speaker 1: the football back. They would have had it inside the 273 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: thirty yard line. However, a penalty block from behind. Penalty 274 00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: on the Rams is gonna bring this ball back a 275 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: little bit. But the Rams are gonna have the ball 276 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: around midfield forty two seconds to at least get into 277 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 1: field goal range where they could tie this game. They 278 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,719 Speaker 1: were really in great field position, but now they have 279 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: forty two seconds no timeouts to get down the field 280 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: for what's likely going to be a field goal attempt 281 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,439 Speaker 1: to tie this game and send it to overtime. Yeah, 282 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: that it was an unnecessary hold. Yeah, you had two 283 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 1: guys right, the second going. 284 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 4: Second guy came over and was offering assistance and instead 285 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 4: still grabbed the Jersey. 286 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 1: Rams could have two losses because of their special teams 287 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: five weeks into the season, not being able to get 288 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: in field goals blocked, getting extra points blocked like they 289 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: did tonight, or they would have had the lead in 290 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 1: this game and now a big special team's penalty. But again, 291 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: they have time at midfield with about forty two seconds 292 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: left to go to try to tie this game. 293 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 4: Tell me special teams doesn't matter. 294 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 1: We'll have more on this game coming up next. Boy, 295 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: we're getting down to the nitty gritty and the drama. 296 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: Thirty six seconds left to go. Rams have the ball 297 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,679 Speaker 1: at midfield facing second and ten. But up next we 298 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: break down all the drama we saw Yankees in the 299 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 1: Red Sox.

I was not even 337 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 3: on assignment in Cleveland, so I can't even claim to 338 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 3: have just absorbed the general alcohol content of the champagne 339 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 3: celebration in the clubhouse there in Cleveland. So there is 340 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:28,359 Speaker 3: a very distinctive you've ever covered one of those champagne celebrations, 341 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 3: It has a The humid intensity of air filled with 342 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 3: champagne bubbles is really pungent, and I'm sure I'll experience 343 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 3: that later on this month. There was actually one time 344 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 3: when I was covering a champagne celebration and the producer 345 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 3: kept sending me back into the clubhouse and I wasn't 346 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 3: even actually sure sure if any of the interviews were airing. 347 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 3: I just thought they were having fun with me, and 348 00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 3: then I basically emerged from the clubhouse with champagne and 349 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 3: was delicately told that I would be riding by myself 350 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:08,159 Speaker 3: to the airport because yeah, no one else really wanted 351 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 3: to hang out with me. 352 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 2: At that point time, I'm picking. 353 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: Up this guy he's Blast and he tells me he's 354 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 1: been working all night. He just like, yeah, you're at alcohol, that's. 355 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,880 Speaker 3: The thing is. So I went. It was in Chicago. 356 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 3: I went straight from Wrigley to O'Hare and my flight 357 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 3: and I remember boarding the boarding the aircraft and people 358 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,159 Speaker 3: looking at me like, man, like, it's it's now seven 359 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 3: o'clock in the evening. Were you have you been out 360 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,120 Speaker 3: on Rush Street since last night? I mean, what where 361 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 3: are we at here? So at least gave me a 362 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 3: good story. 363 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 4: Wait, wait a minute, So you took a car or 364 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 4: did you take the Blue line? 365 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 3: I took a car at the blue line. 366 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 4: Would have been interesting. You would have gone. 367 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 3: Viralight, not the blue line that time. There may have 368 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 3: been a time that I was on the Blue line 369 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 3: in similar and similar stead, but that's not that particular occasion. 370 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:02,439 Speaker 3: All right. 371 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 1: So, speaking of champagne celebrations now and here, I've already 372 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 1: accepted this, John Paul, after seeing Ryan McMahon make the 373 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,439 Speaker 1: new Jeter play Cam Schlitzler turn into the new Andy Pettitt. 374 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,920 Speaker 1: The Yankees are gonna win the World Series. They're a 375 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 1: team I've already I've already come to accept a team 376 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: of destiny. The win tonight. They're gonna win the World Series. 377 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: That got everything they need. It's twenty years ago. The 378 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 1: dynasty is now going to be reborn. 379 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,360 Speaker 3: Well, let's let's slow down a little bit. That they's 380 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 3: have to face a Toronto Blue Jays team, which, by 381 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 3: the way, has their own version of Cam Schlitzler in 382 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 3: Treyy Savage, who I've been arguing for days should definitely 383 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 3: get a start. There are some people questioning, well, do 384 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 3: you want to put a kid out there? I don't know. 385 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 3: Sliller looked pretty good. He's you know, he's a he's 386 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 3: a rookie, and he looked all right. So I think 387 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 3: that there's a there. Sometimes is in the postseason a 388 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 3: bit of an over reliance on experience, and Cam Schlitzler 389 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 3: tonight showed the entire baseball world the value of stuff. 390 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,400 Speaker 3: Moxie vlo I thought in his postgame interview with Buster 391 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,639 Speaker 3: Rolney was really interesting. He was kind of hinting at 392 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,360 Speaker 3: maybe just different things he was hearing from his buddies 393 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 3: back at New England. Of course he was from Massachusetts. 394 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 3: I thought that was a really interesting sidelight and subplot 395 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 3: of the game. But my goodness, everything after arriving to 396 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 3: the ballpark today. It's so funny how postings in baseball works. 397 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 3: Aaron Boone is just everything's in advice for him. There's 398 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 3: such tension, one loss away from maybe facing some serious 399 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 3: questions about his job, and then he entrusts the least 400 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 3: experienced starting pitcher on the roster in the biggest game 401 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 3: of the year, and he simply deals in a way 402 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 3: that basically no other postseason pitcher ever has. It was 403 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 3: just a remarkable performance, pinpoint command, and just the Red 404 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 3: Sox it never felt like they really had a chance tonight, 405 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 3: which is saying a lot for a team that certainly 406 00:19:58,080 --> 00:19:59,959 Speaker 3: in the opening game of the series found a way 407 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 3: to get to the Yankee pen. I just thought that 408 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 3: was sheer dominance tonight from Cam Schlitler. 409 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 4: JP. Let's stay in this series a second. I mean, 410 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 4: obviously ten and four regular season win game one, and 411 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 4: then we look at Game two, Raphaela. The decision to 412 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:18,360 Speaker 4: bunt is one we first guest on air, and as 413 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 4: they pack up the gear for the long offseason, we 414 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 4: bring it around again. Between that and not trying to 415 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,919 Speaker 4: score after the I mean a great play by Chisholm, 416 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 4: a couple of things in that inning that may have 417 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:34,120 Speaker 4: changed their fortunes and sent baseball into a spiral. 418 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,719 Speaker 3: Well, you're right, mikeh and I think that they're If 419 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 3: we're gonna look at the big picture of the Red Sox, 420 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 3: they they got to this spot, I believe because of 421 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 3: fundamental execution and an excellent manager in Alex Korra. Let's 422 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 3: remember that their their by brand name best player when 423 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,199 Speaker 3: the season began now plays with the Giants, and rock 424 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 3: Field evers their best player at his peak during the season, 425 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 3: Roman Anthony is injured and not available. And so if 426 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 3: I'm being honest here, the Boston Red Sox would have 427 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 3: had to have played a perfect series in my estimation, 428 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 3: to win it and to beat the Yankees. Usually you 429 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 3: look at the and again story hasn't really good at 430 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 3: bats this series, so did Bregman, but the rest of 431 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 3: the lineup really never got going in a big way. 432 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 3: Nate Eaton had a nice series, but there was just 433 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 3: not that top to bottom depth that the Yankees have, 434 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 3: and I think we just saw it, and whether it 435 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 3: was even Volty having a moment early on in the 436 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 3: series in the first game A Judge, of course, I 437 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 3: thought was of all the series that he played in 438 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 3: last year's postseason and then to this one, this is 439 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 3: the best series he's played in the last couple of 440 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 3: years in the postseason. So the Red Sox don't have 441 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:56,199 Speaker 3: an answer to Aaron Judge. It turns out that they 442 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 3: didn't even have an answer to Anthony Volpi and this 443 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:02,919 Speaker 3: particular series. It's just the Red Sox. And you're right, 444 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 3: there was some missed execution plays, but they would have 445 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 3: had to play, in my estimation and absolutely perfect series 446 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,360 Speaker 3: for them to win. They did. They kind of got 447 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 3: on the board with like an early birdie in the round, 448 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 3: so to speak, by winning with Crochet on the mound 449 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 3: and Chapman coming in behind them. But they just did 450 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 3: not have the depth in my view, to be able 451 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:28,479 Speaker 3: to just play the rest of the series straight up 452 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,679 Speaker 3: and win against the Yankee swing for swing. They had 453 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,919 Speaker 3: to do something crafty and different. They tried, they failed, 454 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 3: the better team won. And the better team now that's 455 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,439 Speaker 3: going to face Blue Jays is the New York Yankees, 456 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,439 Speaker 3: and that's going to be one heck of a series 457 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 3: against a rested but somewhat weary Blue Jays team that 458 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 3: may probably will not, if I'm being honest, probably will 459 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 3: not have the services of Bobashett in this next. 460 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: Round, EMLLY Network inside of John Paul Morosi, our guest 461 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: Jason Smith, Mike Harmon, live from the Fox Sports Radio studios. 462 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the ninth inning of the 463 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 1: Cubs and the Padres today, because as soon as this 464 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: play happened, I said, the ABS challenge system can't get 465 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,880 Speaker 1: here fast enough. Three nothing, top of the ninth inning 466 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: home run to lead off the inning for the Padres, 467 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: and then Xander Bogertz gets punched out on a call 468 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,679 Speaker 1: where the ball wasn't even close to being a strike. 469 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: Now that changes the inning and changes the direction of 470 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 1: the game. Next two batters are hit by Keller, he 471 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,879 Speaker 1: comes out of the game. Cubs wind up getting out 472 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 1: of the inning, but John Paul a big difference from 473 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 1: first and second and one out to bases loaded and 474 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: nobody out, which likely it would happen because you know, 475 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 1: Keller couldn't you know, find the plate after that, So 476 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 1: he hits two guys, comes out of the game. Craig 477 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: Council takes them right out of the game. That should 478 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,640 Speaker 1: have been bases loaded, nobody out for the Padres down 479 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: three to one in the top of the ninth inning 480 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 1: changes everything. 481 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 3: And of course then the play and again you never 482 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,160 Speaker 3: know how the how the rest of the inning unfolds. 483 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 3: But rich comes in and that was it barely got 484 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 3: Corona Worth on that slow roller. It took a really 485 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,880 Speaker 3: really good play by Seaw to get him. You're right, 486 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 3: it's it's a miss call. There was a miss call 487 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,360 Speaker 3: yesterday at a pivotal moment in the Tigers Guardians game. 488 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 3: It's it's unfortunately always has been part of part of 489 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 3: the game. To be honest, it's less a part of 490 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 3: the game now than it's ever been, and next year 491 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 3: it'll be even less. We're just we will still have 492 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 3: some mistakes. That is inevitable that the human element is 493 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,159 Speaker 3: still alive and well in baseball and has been for 494 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 3: a long time. The entirety of its existence effect. But 495 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 3: you hate to see that you hate to see a 496 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 3: call that that swings the game at a really crucial point. 497 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 3: And you're right, you never know how that ending unfolds 498 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 3: if Boguards is on vaze, as he should be, especially 499 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 3: in light of what happened after that. But I think 500 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 3: that the Podres also they did not get on the 501 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 3: board until the final inning, and I think that's that's 502 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 3: a very difficult way to try to win a winner 503 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 3: take all game. I think of the of the results today, 504 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,880 Speaker 3: for me, the most stunning one was was the pod Race. 505 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 3: Was the Podreys losing. I thought they were gonna win 506 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 3: the game. Uh, the Podres only getting seven hits. I 507 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 3: thought that was a very very surprising outcome. Obviously a 508 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 3: lack of extra base power. Only two extra base hits 509 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 3: in this in this game for the for the Podres. 510 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,959 Speaker 3: That for me actually was so two doubles and one 511 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 3: in the one home run. It's just there was not 512 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,680 Speaker 3: enough pump in at a time of year where you're 513 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 3: gonna have to ask some slug more often than not 514 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 3: to be able to win winton ball games. So that 515 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 3: that to me, of the three results today was the 516 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 3: most surprising, And and you're right, it's it could have 517 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:48,160 Speaker 3: easily gone differently if if a call had been ruled correctly. 518 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 3: But it's asking a whole lot to be able to 519 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 3: make a three run comeback in the in the top 520 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,640 Speaker 3: of the ninth in a decisive game when you really 521 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 3: didn't do much at all offensively in the first eight innings. 522 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, it'll be jerious see what they do in the offseason, 523 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 4: as only the Cardinals and Pirates had fewer home runs 524 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 4: this season than in lineups. That was the lamentation from 525 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 4: the local San Diego things. Sky's falling radio is always 526 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 4: fun jp. 527 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:20,400 Speaker 3: To be fair, I love Luis Rias and the ability 528 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 3: to make to make contact, but you need more than 529 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 3: a contact bat at first base if you're gonna win 530 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 3: the World Series. And that's and I think that's where 531 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 3: they fell a little bit short, that they need that 532 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 3: first base spot. I love Louis awesome player, but I 533 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 3: think they probably have to upgrade there at that particular spot. 534 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, I made finishing top ten and team batting average 535 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,679 Speaker 4: does you no good when you really need a big hit. 536 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 1: Could you have the Guardians who finished at the bottom 537 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:49,920 Speaker 1: and they were in and they were nearly into the 538 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,119 Speaker 1: next round of them second to twenty six. This year, 539 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 1: they were nearly to the next round of the playoffs. 540 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, they were. They were kind of the exception and 541 00:26:58,080 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 3: in a lot of different ways. I mean, And that 542 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 3: to me is it's so interesting, guys, that here we are, 543 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 3: and in some ways I love this part of the game. 544 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 3: We have seen two completely unprecedented playoff runs in back 545 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 3: to back years, the Tigers last year, the Guardians this year. 546 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 3: Statistically that they were just not supposed to happen. And 547 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 3: I do think and listen, it's like, what are the 548 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 3: chances of a less than one in one hundred outcome 549 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 3: happening in back to back data sets? I realized there's 550 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 3: thirty different data sets, thirty different teams. But the fact 551 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 3: that Tigers made the playoffs last year and they had 552 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 3: less than one percent chance of making it, and the 553 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 3: same with the Guardians one year later just might finally 554 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,880 Speaker 3: tell us that this beautiful sport of ours is it's 555 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 3: very difficult to predict. And while predicting things is a 556 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 3: good endeavor and in fact allows you to plan and 557 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 3: help make decisions of your front office person, this is 558 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 3: probably a game that should just be enjoyed and predicted 559 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 3: and scripted because man, that's a lot of randomness in 560 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 3: back to back years. That would suggest to me that 561 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 3: we should leave a little bit more space for the 562 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,680 Speaker 3: surprise and for for elements like that, because it really 563 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,959 Speaker 3: those two teams, Tigers last year Guardians this year are 564 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 3: a big reason why this is such a beautiful sport. 565 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 1: All right, so it's time for you to make three 566 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: big predictions in the next few seconds. 567 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 3: You ready, I am one hundred percent ready. Let's go. 568 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 4: Okay, the Alcs will be who, the Nlcs will be who. 569 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 4: And give us your Lions prediction for this week you 570 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 4: Lions insider, you all right? 571 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 3: Mariners will meet the blue Jays. That's what I've got there. 572 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 3: The Marriage will meet the blue Jays. The the Phillies. 573 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 3: I believe they're going to find a way to beat 574 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 3: the Dodgers. The Phillies will meet the Brewers. I think 575 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 3: that's gonna be a fun series two if it plays 576 00:28:55,880 --> 00:29:00,479 Speaker 3: out that way. And then the Detroit Lions this weekend 577 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 3: will triumph by a score of thirty one twenty one. 578 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 3: I'm going a little higher scoring than I typically. 579 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 4: Wow, that's way highway he's hitting the over which is 580 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 4: forty nine and a half, and the spread is ten. 581 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 3: They're playing in Cincinnati against the Bengals. By the way, 582 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 3: that game interesting and these are very rare things that 583 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 3: I know. I don't know a lot, but I do 584 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 3: know that typically AFC games are supposed to be on CBS, 585 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 3: but that will flex the Fox Baby because they know 586 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 3: the national audience wants more Lions. They want more Lions 587 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,479 Speaker 3: on national TV, so they flex them into the four 588 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 3: twenty five slot. Lions Bengals, the Detroit Lions thirty one, 589 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 3: the Cincinnati Bengals twenty one, and it'll it'll be a 590 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 3: very robust weekend of sports in my great city. And 591 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 3: of course they're all playing on the road, the Lions 592 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 3: and the Tigers, but the Lions of Cincinnati the Tigers 593 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 3: in Seattle. I think that Tiger's final way to split 594 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 3: the first two games, but the Mariners eventually prevail in five. 595 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 1: This could be and John Paul, this could be a 596 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 1: big weekend for Michigan, a big week for Michigan over 597 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 1: Ohio in general. You know you already had this, You're 598 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 1: gonna have it on could have it on Sunday again. Yeah, 599 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 1: to be a big Michigan overall. 600 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 3: Filo taken on the whole state. What we need is 601 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 3: the next Fiftons Cavaliers playoffs. Deers Well have to wait 602 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 3: for this one for a while. This, by the way, 603 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 3: is only and I always love these cross sport dynamics. 604 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 3: Only the second time ever that a in the four 605 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 3: major sports that a Detroit team has played a Seattle team. 606 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 3: The previous time was was the Jim Caldwell coached Lions 607 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 3: who went out to Seattle, and I believe the final 608 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 3: score was twenty six to six. It was a fairly 609 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 3: bland game as yet January seventh, twenty seventeen. It looks 610 00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 3: like the Lions did all their scoring on two Matt 611 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 3: Prade bilgals. There was there was a lot of uh 612 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 3: uh and Doug Baldwin big catch there at the end 613 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 3: from Russell Wilson's there you go. So that was that 614 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 3: was That was the box score. Some goodness now eight 615 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 3: years ago. 616 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 1: John Paul Morosi on Twitter at John Morosi as always, buddy, 617 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 1: appreciate it.

The Rams 633 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: faced with a four than one inside the red zone, 634 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 1: they decide to go for it on fourth and one. 635 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 1: How did it turn out? 636 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 2: Not belong to? 637 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 1: How's the answer? And what's trending? 638 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 5: It was not good for La as the Niners stop 639 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 5: that fourth and one on their own eleven yard line. 640 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 5: Rams were knocking on the door to score. It was 641 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 5: a nice thirty eight thirty eight yard pass from Matthew 642 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 5: Stafford to two to out well to get them downfield, 643 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 5: but San Francisco makes another stop, another crucial stop. 644 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 1: They win it twenty six to twenty three. Who to 645 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: thunk it?

Yeah, I mean that was a 701 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:31,879 Speaker 2: tush push, just inverting the uh. The Niners pull off 702 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 2: the upset over the Rams twenty six twenty three. 703 00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:38,719 Speaker 1: The Rams had a chance and could have kicked the 704 00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,000 Speaker 1: game tying field goal that would have extended the game. 705 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 1: But on fourth and one, they'd go for it from 706 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:48,960 Speaker 1: the from inside the fifteen yard line. And it was 707 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,880 Speaker 1: a bad play call from the beginning. Right away. I 708 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 1: first guessed it. I said, where is the yard going 709 00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 1: to come from? Everybody is stacked the line of scrimmage there. 710 00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 1: A yard is not going to come out of this play. 711 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,759 Speaker 1: But the Rams decide, Hey, fourth and one, let's go 712 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,360 Speaker 1: for it. Let's be bold, and this is how it 713 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:05,040 Speaker 1: turned out. 714 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,399 Speaker 7: One for the Rams. Niners lead by three, a chance 715 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:13,040 Speaker 7: to win it with a stop. Here it overtime. Stafford 716 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,840 Speaker 7: gets under center at the eleven yard line. He takes it, 717 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,320 Speaker 7: he turns, he gives the Karen Williams, he gets packed. 718 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,640 Speaker 3: I think he's short, Tim, I think he's short. And 719 00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 3: the forty nine ers stored the field. 720 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:25,759 Speaker 4: It is all over. 721 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,319 Speaker 3: The forty nine Ers have won it in. 722 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,200 Speaker 2: Over time here in La. 723 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 1: I just want to let you know, Tim, Yes, it 724 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 1: was short, all right, so Tim knows. I think Tim 725 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,680 Speaker 1: now knows that play was short. Tim the play was short. 726 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,839 Speaker 4: He thought about it, thought about it, I mean very 727 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:42,160 Speaker 4: slow developing play. 728 00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:43,239 Speaker 3: Yes, it was. 729 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:47,279 Speaker 1: It was an awful play call. Again, the Niners were 730 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,000 Speaker 1: stacked to stop it. They had called time out. I 731 00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,839 Speaker 1: don't see how the Rams thought this is gonna get 732 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:57,440 Speaker 1: a yard. But this is why, again, this is why 733 00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,439 Speaker 1: the tush push is such a big deal and why 734 00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:02,480 Speaker 1: it's a big advantage when you can pull this off. 735 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:04,520 Speaker 1: I bet you Sean McVay is walking off the field 736 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,040 Speaker 1: right now, going, you know what, screw it, We're gonna 737 00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:08,960 Speaker 1: do the tush push. We're gonna because I can't have 738 00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:12,440 Speaker 1: that again. Cole stanfordhad and skip leg day Kyron Williams. 739 00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,279 Speaker 1: Two bad play, two big plays. Is fumble going into 740 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,000 Speaker 1: the end zone could have won the game for the Rams. 741 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,080 Speaker 1: Uh he gets stopped here on fourth and one. But 742 00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:23,040 Speaker 1: again the tush push that this is. This is why 743 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:25,960 Speaker 1: the Eagles win. It's why the Eagles win games. It's 744 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:27,719 Speaker 1: why plays like this you get the third and one, 745 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,880 Speaker 1: fourth and one. The Eagles are unstoppable because they can 746 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,880 Speaker 1: continue to run a play like this. And really, I 747 00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 1: don't understand why other teams haven't picked it up. I 748 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,719 Speaker 1: really don't. It's not like the Eagles have ownership over 749 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:44,279 Speaker 1: the play. It's when you saw teams running uh, you 750 00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,040 Speaker 1: know when when you would have the quarterback come out 751 00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,920 Speaker 1: of the game, when Ronnie Brown would run wildcat up 752 00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,200 Speaker 1: when the wildcat came into the league, other teams did 753 00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,920 Speaker 1: the wildcat. There was no problem. Other teams did the wildcat. 754 00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:57,560 Speaker 1: Most teams tried it. Okay, we really don't have the 755 00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:59,959 Speaker 1: personnel for it, but okay, but you saw other teams 756 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,160 Speaker 1: try the wildcat. This is a play that you can 757 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,840 Speaker 1: easily figure out what to do. Like touch, push is 758 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:07,600 Speaker 1: a pretty easy play. Get your line in one, you 759 00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,719 Speaker 1: going down figuring pushing, you can do it. I don't 760 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 1: know why all the other teams in the NFL haven't said, oh, well, 761 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,759 Speaker 1: if they do it, we're gonna steal that play, cause 762 00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,440 Speaker 1: it's gonna get us a yard on fourth and one, 763 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,800 Speaker 1: a third and one. All the time. We're gonna figure 764 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:24,920 Speaker 1: out how to pull this off. We're gonna install it 765 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,200 Speaker 1: during training camp, we're gonna practice it, we're gonna do X, 766 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:28,799 Speaker 1: Y and Z, were gonna do all of these things. 767 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,440 Speaker 1: I don't know why other teams haven't done this, I 768 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:33,359 Speaker 1: really don't. I don't know if they feel like, well, 769 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,960 Speaker 1: we're infringing on the on the Eagles, you know, hey, 770 00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,000 Speaker 1: they're gonna say, hey, back away, this is our play. 771 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,000 Speaker 1: I don't know why other teams haven't done that. 772 00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,719 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean in this case, I guess I understand it. 773 00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:46,800 Speaker 4: With Matthew Stafford kind of like the fact that Philip Rivers, 774 00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,400 Speaker 4: for as great as he was, you knew there was 775 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,040 Speaker 4: never gonna be a quarterback sneak with it. With Matthew Stafford, 776 00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:53,799 Speaker 4: I think we're kind of in that same boat right 777 00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,320 Speaker 4: that we're not gonna see it and then it just 778 00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:59,399 Speaker 4: becomes a question of where the ball's going. And again 779 00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,960 Speaker 4: the hand off being as slow at it as it was, 780 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,400 Speaker 4: that you were able to plug the gap and you 781 00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,360 Speaker 4: had multiple guys coming from the second level to crash 782 00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:11,200 Speaker 4: the party and keep Williams from getting to the first down. 783 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:15,160 Speaker 4: But a league wide yeah, the fact that that isn't 784 00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:17,160 Speaker 4: a more widely. 785 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:18,960 Speaker 1: Used and. 786 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:25,360 Speaker 4: Perpetrated move, I guess some of it owes to the 787 00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:29,680 Speaker 4: larger question that we keep having about practice time and 788 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:34,600 Speaker 4: scaling that back and your reliance on your offensive line, 789 00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,640 Speaker 4: the cohesion of your offensive line because it's got a click, right. 790 00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,320 Speaker 4: The fact that we haven't seen a bunch of penalties 791 00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:44,520 Speaker 4: called after the incidents of earlier in the two weeks 792 00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,680 Speaker 4: ago is kind of curious. We'll see when that first 793 00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,120 Speaker 4: one comes out against the Eagles, But to this point, 794 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:54,759 Speaker 4: now they're running variations of it right now and all this, 795 00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:57,160 Speaker 4: I mean, I. 796 00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 1: Mean, I don't see how this is like it's a copycat. 797 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,360 Speaker 1: If the NFL wasn't a copycat league, I would say, what, 798 00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:04,600 Speaker 1: But everybody copycats everything and they. 799 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,360 Speaker 4: Don't do it, especially this which has what a ninety 800 00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,759 Speaker 4: success rate. 801 00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,360 Speaker 1: I don't get the rams they got to own this loss. 802 00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,080 Speaker 1: They gave this game to the forty nine multiple times. 803 00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,040 Speaker 1: You want a big quarterback hot take coming off of 804 00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,280 Speaker 1: this game, Oh, we got it for you. Next, Chasing 805 00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:21,680 Speaker 1: the Mic, Fox Sports Radio
