First off, this postseason is 10 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 1: the most watched since twenty ten so far. 11 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:37,520 Speaker 2: Wow, that's good. 12 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 1: Baseball is in a good spot. 13 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 2: That's really good spot. 14 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 1: Yeah. 15 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 4: Good time for good time for a lockout, good time 16 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 4: for owners.

That is true. 19 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: How about this one? I got one more trivia question 20 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: before we start. The last team to win a best 21 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: of seven series after losing the first two at home. 22 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 1: The last team to take a best of seven series 23 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 1: that could be in today's world in LS yes or 24 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,319 Speaker 1: a world series DODG that they lost the first two 25 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: at home. 26 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 2: That's got to be a while back. 27 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: It's not in the twenty first century. 28 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 2: That's all. How about nineteen oh nine, kid, that's way back. 29 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: Let's go nineties. 30 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 3: Nineties break, go ahead and say ninety four some kidding? Yeah, 31 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 3: I'm not sure. 32 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: Nineteen ninety six, Braves, I mean nineties, right? World Series? 33 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: You got the thanks, you got it? 34 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 4: I thought. I thought the Astros lost. I mean the 35 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 4: Dodgers lost the first two games at home in that 36 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 4: in that World Series, we went to Houston, won all 37 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 4: three games in Houston, then came back home and lost 38 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 4: the next two. Did I not get that right? I 39 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 4: thought nobody that World Series won a game at home. 40 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 1: That does sound right? Did I get that info? 41 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 4: I don't know. Let's check it out. Let's have our 42 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 4: crack reporters. 43 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 2: Well either pretty far back. 44 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I'm gonna look throughout the show again. I'll 45 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: look at who tweeted it out. 46 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 2: We got two chances at it, Yeah we do. 47 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 1: I'll look at who tweeted it out making me look 48 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: stupid or maybe not, maybe not anyway, Let's charge charge. 49 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: Let's charge the man presented by LIDS. Where we're at 50 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: with the NLCS. Kratz and I did a long postgame 51 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: show last night. But your thoughts, Lucky, I'm a moto. 52 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 3: You know, it's so funny. I'm listening to the broadcast 53 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 3: and I forget who was broadcasting. He's like, well, could 54 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 3: be like a gift and a curse. 55 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 2: You know. 56 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 3: It could be when you know, you go golf and 57 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 3: you get that first birdie on the first hole and 58 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 3: then everything else goes to you know what, Well, guess what. 59 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 3: Milwaukee got that first birdie and that was it. They 60 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 3: double bogie triple bogied after that. I mean, ya, Mamoto, 61 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 3: my goodness, what an outing. I'm glad they let him 62 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 3: keep going. He deserved it. His splitter, it felt like 63 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 3: it got nastier and nasty as the game went on. 64 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 3: Giving up a first inning home run, Yeah it stinks, 65 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 3: but at the same time, for him, it's like Wow. 66 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 3: To come back and only give up two more hits 67 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 3: after that was absolutely incredible. And he didn't get fifteen strikeouts. 68 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 3: You know, it wasn't like he was super overpowering. He 69 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 3: got the outs when he needed to, and he threw really, 70 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 3: really well. 71 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: And Pat Murphy, the manager for the Brewers, thinks that 72 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: the team is chasing more than ever this season. So 73 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: he said, quote, we chased more than we've chased all year. 74 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: We've been the best team in baseball at not chasing, 75 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: these pitchers brought out the worst in US. Starting pitchers 76 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: for the Dodgers in these first two games have allowed 77 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: four hits. Milwaukee's got a total of five hits in 78 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: two games, two runs scored, four played appearances with runners 79 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 1: in scoring position, which all game in that ninth inning 80 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,119 Speaker 1: of Game one, which they had a chance to steal 81 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: could have Now it looks like they really needed that 82 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: first games. So that's where they're at. Do you think 83 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 1: that this is just stupid good pitching? I like to 84 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,239 Speaker 1: ask this question each time to Kratz. 85 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 3: Well, for me, yeah, I think it's a little bit 86 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 3: of all. I think it's a little bit of both. 87 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 3: I think you're right they're swinging outside the zone. I 88 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 3: think they're not getting the hits when they need them. 89 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 3: I think the Dodgers are also playing a little bit better, truthfully, 90 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 3: maybe a lot better. They're playing hard. I think the 91 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 3: focus on what the Brewers need to do is just 92 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 3: build off each other. Like you make a play home 93 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 3: run in the first inning, that's great, but you got 94 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 3: to keep tacking on. You got to keep moving forward. 95 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 3: And the biggest problem is. 96 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 2: They're not and when Yamamoto got going. It was pretty 97 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 2: much it. 98 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 3: I mean, I remember I stopped watching the game for 99 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 3: if I come back it's the ninth inning, I'm like, 100 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 3: holy cow, what that coppen here? So I think the 101 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 3: focus on the Brewers is forget about what just happened. 102 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 3: You know, things can happen in a hurry. It's a 103 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,679 Speaker 3: big tidal wave of things that compiled for them to lose. Dude, 104 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 3: what's his name? Show Tony not even hitting. He finally got, 105 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 3: you know, an RBI single yesterday. That's awesome. That's a plus. 106 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 3: Reddy Freeman hit the home run. That's about it. Like, 107 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 3: you got two of their top dogs not doing pretty 108 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 3: much and you're still losing. That's the bigger problem I 109 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 3: have in this whole situation. 110 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 4: We got to sit here and say this pitching has 111 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 4: been elite. Yamamoto's probably going to be top three, if not, 112 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 4: I would say maybe top five in the Say Young 113 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 4: voting this year. And Blake Snell has two two Sy Young's, 114 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 4: he's won them and they're hitting on all cylinders right now. 115 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 4: So to me, we definitely need in the playoffs, we 116 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 4: need to give credit where credit is due, and both 117 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 4: of these guys have been dominant. Now people can say, oh, 118 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 4: you know, the Brewers are twenty ninth in barrel percentage 119 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 4: and they you know, but they scored the third most runs. 120 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 4: But they're in the National League Central. Let's make sure 121 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 4: we keep the same narrative for all things, because we 122 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 4: just saw the Blue Jays beat a Yankees team. And 123 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 4: every time the Yankees lose, whether it's to the Dodgers 124 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 4: in the World Series or in the Alds, oh, they 125 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 4: just too much swing and miss, not enough. You know, 126 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 4: they got to make contact. Well, the Brewers have made 127 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 4: some contact, I get it. They struck out seventeen times 128 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 4: against the starters in the last two days. But like 129 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 4: this is a team built for contact, it's not working. 130 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 4: So what's the common denominator? When a really big slug 131 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 4: team gets knocked out and a really good contact team 132 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 4: like Jays and the Brewers lose the common denominators they've 133 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 4: run off against some good pitching and no more of 134 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 4: A example of that was young Mooto last night. He 135 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 4: didn't shy away from the zone after that first first 136 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 4: at bat Homer the opposite field. He said, you know what, 137 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 4: I'm going to continue to throw my game and he did, 138 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 4: and look what happened. 139 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: This is for everyone listening right now. What are you 140 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: wearing right now? And why isn't it me on Deese Kratz. 141 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: It is time for everyone to upgrade and get that 142 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: super Soft micro Modal glory so good that you don't 143 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: want to take it off. 144 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 4: The reason I'm stonefacing you is because that's how soft 145 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 4: they are.

He's you know, he's being human at 173 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 3: that same moment. 174 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 1: Over fifty starts in the big leagues, including postseason, and 175 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: he hadn't done it. I'm currently searching to see if 176 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: I can have. 177 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, I have his MPOs and NPB stats. I'll look 178 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 4: it up. But I know Roki Roki had that no 179 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 4: hitter and then he almost threw it back to back 180 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 4: or back to back like perfect games or something like that. 181 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 4: I'll look it up. 182 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: He's got he's got I've got at least Game six 183 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty three Japan Series, which is like 184 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: the World Series out there, nine innings, fourteen ks.

But here they 187 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: don't do that here. Not often we have it, but 188 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,559 Speaker 1: not often postseason almost never. Last time do you know 189 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,679 Speaker 1: the last time? Do you guys know this? I'm confident 190 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: on this one because I saw this from multiple reporters. 191 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: Sometimes I grabbed something from one or two that are 192 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:05,439 Speaker 1: a little shy. But Jose the Dodgers at the last 193 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: Dodger okay, but the last pitcher in the playoffs to 194 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: go CG mhm.

Yeah, they we faced them in the ALCS. 202 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, we lost them. We lost game one and two. One. 203 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 3: We would have been the ones that came back at 204 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 3: home or beat him whatever. Then we won three, four, five, 205 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 3: and then they won six seven. But yes, he threw 206 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,079 Speaker 3: twice against us. I don't remember how went. 207 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 4: Was that when you hit the double that's stuck in 208 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 4: the top of the fest Yeah. Yeah, there was a 209 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 4: collector that told me. 210 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 2: I reached out to Yeah there was. 211 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 4: There was a collector that told me if I could 212 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 4: get that ball. Obviously it was after the game, if 213 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,319 Speaker 4: I could get that ball out of the fence, he 214 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 4: would give me two hundred and fifty dollars for it. 215 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 4: I was like, what, now what he should who does that? 216 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 3: I would have said, twenty five hundred, easy money, let's 217 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 3: go famous baseball? 218 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 4: Was that was that Game two? 219 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 5: Though? 220 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 2: It's weird. Yeah, yeah, I think that was Game two. 221 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,599 Speaker 2: We tied at one one, like in a six I 222 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 2: don't remember. 223 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:39,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, so now what now? What for Milwaukee? 224 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 2: Good luck? I mean. 225 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 3: Serious, I mean I sit here and say that with 226 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 3: being all funny and stuff. 227 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 2: But yeah, they still have a chance. 228 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, of course anything can happen, but it's it's going 229 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 3: to be a climb, it's going to become they have 230 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 3: game this Game three is the most important game in 231 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 3: their lives, and they have to find a way to 232 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 3: win it. 233 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 2: I think that's the biggest problem they have. 234 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 3: Game Game three is so big because Game four Dodgers 235 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 3: can pretty much do what they want. You know, they 236 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 3: can nitpick, you know, put whoever they want out there. 237 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 3: So Connie, Yeah, that's what I mean. Or do you 238 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 3: save them for another day? That's what I mean. Like 239 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,679 Speaker 3: they could I'm not saying to do that, but they 240 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 3: can decide on really what they want to do. 241 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 4: So I got kind of eviscerated on Twitter for saying 242 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 4: saying what I said about how the Dodgers, well would 243 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 4: be that will be the Brewer's game plan. How do 244 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 4: they be glass now, you know, make them throw strikes 245 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 4: and all this stuff, and I said some other things 246 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 4: and fans are like, no way, not a chance. Like 247 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 4: this show gives you the player's point of view, and 248 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 4: if you were to ask the Brewers players to be 249 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 4: one hundred percent honest, they would tell you, yeah, we're 250 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 4: not out of this, like we one hundred percent got this. 251 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 4: We swept this team in the regular season. Is it 252 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 4: going to be tough? Yeah, you can't win four games 253 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 4: in one night, but you can win one each night 254 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 4: and play view when they're down. Is I'm not going away. 255 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 4: I'm not going away without a fight. So you're gonna 256 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 4: see some fight from the Brewers. And if you want 257 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 4: somebody on it, if you want to watch another show 258 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 4: where people are like, yeah, analytically, they just don't have 259 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,079 Speaker 4: any chance here, And I just don't see how it's like, 260 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 4: don't don't come on a show. Don't watch a show 261 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 4: where players will give you the real view of what 262 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 4: they're thinking in this moment, like they're not quitting and 263 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 4: they're gonna give Tyler glassan now all he can handle. 264 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:34,439 Speaker 2: For sure? 265 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: What would you tell the boys, Like, if you're Pat 266 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: Murphy right now, who is a wordsmith, he's really fine. 267 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: He is well covered as a manager, both for the 268 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: success that he's out on the field the last couple 269 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 1: of seasons, and he's immedia darling.

I think, you 273 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 3: know where, we probably should have won game too, if 274 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 3: we found a way to get you know, a review 275 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 3: in in time, which didn't happen. Whatever, we ended up 276 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 3: winning a series. Win the day, Just win the day, 277 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 3: go out and win the inning. Every inning, every day. 278 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 3: Don't worry about anything that's going on outside. Win today 279 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 3: and then we'll worry about tomorrow. Find a way to 280 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 3: win today. It doesn't mean you have to win by 281 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 3: the home run. Win scrappy, beat out a ball, make 282 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 3: the play, you know, get on base from the air, 283 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 3: steal a base something, find a way to win the game. 284 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 2: Cratzy. 285 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 4: If you have the If you have music on in 286 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 4: the clubhouse after a big win and you come in 287 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 4: and you're too you're down too, I'd say turn the 288 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 4: music on, turning music on. We're flying to LA. It's 289 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 4: time to get going. Just like just like Biggie said 290 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 4: going back to Cali. 291 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 2: Could have said it, I'm going going back back to CALLI. Yes, 292 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 2: all that good stuff. 293 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: Hey, we do this a lot in the offseason, but 294 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: we'll let it go into this current postseason as well 295 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: because it's becoming a big story. The Dodgers spend a lot, 296 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: the Brewers don't, the payroll disparity, the league and the 297 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: owners just love this conversation. What are your thoughts on 298 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: these two teams matching up? And I'm going to kick 299 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: it off, okay, because the top two teams in the 300 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: National League this year. Are the Brewers and the Dodgers, right, 301 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: they're the last two teams standing. The Dodgers spend a lot, 302 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 1: the Brewers don't. There are a lot of teams in 303 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 1: between the Dodgers and the Brewers that aren't there. So 304 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 1: there are a bunch of really really dumb teams that 305 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 1: spend a lot of money. And I have no idea 306 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: what they're doing because the way that people speak, you 307 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: would think that you just look at the sheet, look 308 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 1: at the payroll sheet, the top ten, and I think 309 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: half the teams didn't make it, and you just be like, Okay, 310 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: National League side easy, Dodgers, Mets, NLCS every single year. 311 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: Last year, actually the Mets look like crap. At the 312 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: beginning of the year, Yeah, got hot, made it to 313 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: the NLCS. But this year really really dropped the wallet 314 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: down and said let's go. They didn't make the playoffs. 315 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we can have a whole hour session about that. 316 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 3: But I got to ask the question today about whether 317 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 3: it's good or bad for baseball that the Dodgers are winning, 318 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 3: and I said, I thought it was just fine. I 319 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 3: gotta be honest with you, I seeing what they have. 320 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 3: They still have guys that are injured that aren't even playing. 321 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 3: And that's the crazy part about the Dodgers. How good 322 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 3: this team really is. It goes to show you, Hey, 323 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 3: if I'm a baseball fan, I gotta respect what the 324 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 3: Dodgers are doing here. They're spending money on quality guys 325 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 3: and guess what happens. They're winning games. Will they win 326 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 3: the World Series? They might, they have the best chance. 327 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 3: But again, I think this is great. You want to 328 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 3: say the Dodgers do win Scotty next thing. You know, Like, 329 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 3: if I'm on the team, I'm like, that's the team 330 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 3: I want to beat. Now you get a little hungrier, 331 00:16:58,760 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 3: maybe you pick up a. 332 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 2: Guy here too. 333 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 3: But you know, everybody in this business has money when 334 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 3: it comes to being a president and all this kind 335 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,199 Speaker 3: of stuff. They just don't want to spend. So I 336 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 3: don't feel bad for those teams. They have the money. 337 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 3: It's what their businessmen want to do about, you know, 338 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 3: when they want to get the better players. 339 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 4: Well, how about instead of looking at the actual dollars 340 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 4: that are spent, because yeah, they're never going to match up, 341 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,200 Speaker 4: how about we look at the percentage of revenue brought 342 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 4: in compared to the salaries, and then we see see, 343 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 4: oh well, maybe this team could have spent a little 344 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 4: bit more like teams may not be able to spend 345 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 4: the same number, but percentage wise, maybe we got to 346 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 4: get a little bit closer to this. So if you 347 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 4: want to talk about salary caps, how about this. Let's 348 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,399 Speaker 4: bring in the salary floor and that'll enhance a lot 349 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 4: of competition. If it's because of money, then make sure 350 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 4: your team is spending the same percentage as the Dodgers 351 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 4: are spending of the revenue that they bring in. Just 352 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 4: a percentage, that's it. 353 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. 354 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:01,640 Speaker 1: Also, you could just improve revenue sharing. You could say, hey, 355 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 1: here's another fifty mil to Milwaukee that we're all splitting 356 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:09,120 Speaker 1: on TV money. There's plenty that already exists. The problem 357 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 1: is that process is broken because you don't have to 358 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:16,160 Speaker 1: spend it on players. You can spend it on quote, 359 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:21,439 Speaker 1: improving your team. There are ways as yeah, improve your 360 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,679 Speaker 1: real estate. So we can talk more about that than 361 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,679 Speaker 1: the off season. We have all off season long. I 362 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,239 Speaker 1: don't like to get into that too much, but it 363 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: is standing out right now, being that you have the 364 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:35,160 Speaker 1: Dodgers and the Brewers matched up like this.

So 393 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 1: there's quotes coming out here from Scott Ayers, who runs 394 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 1: the front office for the Tigers, and the one that 395 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 1: stood out to many quote, how does a top eight 396 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: offense for five months become a bottom eight offense in September? 397 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 1: That's the question that really keeps me up at night. 398 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: They're indicating that they're going to make some changes this offseason. 399 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 1: That to me sounds like some potential changes to personnel 400 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:35,199 Speaker 1: because they're frustrated about the finish line after a season 401 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 1: that started with so much promise and krats. They made 402 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,719 Speaker 1: it to the DS, but still you can sense how 403 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,159 Speaker 1: frustrated they are about the offense. And I feel that 404 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,479 Speaker 1: frustration when I watched the Tigers. Aside from what like 405 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 1: two or three good innings in the playoffs, I. 406 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 4: Hope the organization looks at it like, well, why were 407 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 4: they successful? The first five months might be generous, but 408 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 4: first four months of season was it actual success or 409 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 4: were they kind of being held up on a thin 410 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 4: pedestal of not controlling the strike zone. There's general things 411 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 4: that work and don't work, and were you doing those 412 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 4: things in those first four months. If they were and 413 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 4: then they switched, then what happened? You got a pinpoint 414 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,959 Speaker 4: exactly before you just go and say hitting coaches gone, 415 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 4: this guy gone, game planning gone, like whoa, whoa, whoa. 416 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 4: There was some success there and they were the best 417 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 4: team in the Central for a long time. 418 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: Tyler Kepner joining us right now. You can catch so 419 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: many great articles of his in the Athletic Tyler, great 420 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 1: to see you. First off, How is the postseason going 421 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: for you? 422 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 5: It's great, guys, good to be here. I've been following 423 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:48,639 Speaker 5: the Mariners the whole way through. So let's do a 424 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,680 Speaker 5: lot worse than hang out in Seattle for the month. 425 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 5: It's been fun. 426 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: I'm with you, okay, So give us the goods. You've 427 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: been with one team the entire postseason. Tell us what 428 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 1: you've seen from Seattle. What's something that maybe most of 429 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: the world doesn't know obviously, I'm sure you've covered it 430 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 1: in articles, but give us something good to kick this off. 431 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,959 Speaker 5: Wow, well, something that most of the world doesn't know. 432 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 4: I don't know. 433 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 5: I mean I I go a lot of ways with that, 434 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 5: but it is it is just really impressive how much 435 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 5: they outpitch people. I mean, everybody kind of knows that, 436 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 5: and now we're seeing it. They just have more good pitchers. 437 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 5: And for them to go to Toronto and get half 438 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 5: their innings from starters who were on short rest is 439 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 5: just and win both games is amazing. I mean, you 440 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,159 Speaker 5: would go out there and hope to get a split, 441 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 5: you know, you could. You could even envision that they're 442 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 5: tired and you come back and you're down oh two, 443 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 5: but you reset, they're up to to oh and they 444 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 5: got half their innings from starters on short rest. It's 445 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 5: pretty amazing. But it shows the depth they have. And 446 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 5: now they're getting Brian Wuback. So it kind of goes 447 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 5: to the philosophy they've been building here and sticking with 448 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 5: through a lot of you know, ups and down. They've 449 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 5: believed in it. Strike throwing is gonna work most of 450 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,360 Speaker 5: the time, and here they are. 451 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,440 Speaker 3: You talk about good hitting and you know, well actually 452 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 3: talk about good pitching. He brought up hitting a little 453 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 3: bit too as well. One of those hitters, Jhe Polanco 454 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 3: man just coming on so strong. You give him my 455 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 3: nickname here, I'll let you talk about that. Just give 456 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 3: a little insight of how good he's been in these playoffs. 457 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,400 Speaker 3: And it seems like, you know, over the years, he's 458 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,160 Speaker 3: been doing this for a long time now and doing 459 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 3: pretty well out it. 460 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, Todd, it's kind of nice to see a player 461 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,120 Speaker 5: who's been around a while, been just a solid, sort 462 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 5: of everyday guy for about eight or ten years, have 463 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 5: this kind of moment. I mean, three games in a row, 464 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 5: this guy is driven in the go ahead run. Plus 465 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 5: he hit two home runs off Schoogle in Game two. 466 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 5: You know, it's not like he's hitting four hundred, but 467 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:53,679 Speaker 5: his his hits have all been monumental. So whenever they 468 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,640 Speaker 5: have a clutch situation they need to take the lead. 469 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 5: You know, he's the guy, his switch hitter, so you 470 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 5: know he's hard to pitch too. He'd he's a great 471 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,199 Speaker 5: pull hitter. He's just the kind of guy who you know, 472 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 5: sort of a glue guy on the team and Honestly, 473 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 5: he was their big move last offseason. They were very 474 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 5: quiet after a season where you know, they came a 475 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 5: little bit short of a playoffs, but it was a 476 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 5: real disappointment. He was their big move to bring him 477 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,640 Speaker 5: back for one year in seven point seventy five after 478 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 5: him two thirteen last year. But they knew that he 479 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 5: was just really really physically compromised last year with that knee. 480 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 5: He tried to grind his way through it. He had 481 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 5: the potel attendon fixed up this this week last year, 482 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 5: and you know, he's been he's been terrific. He's been 483 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,160 Speaker 5: the player they thought they were getting last year. 484 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 4: All right, let's reverse back to Game four. The end 485 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 4: of Game four of the Alds. The Tigers just beat 486 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 4: them pretty handily in a bullpen. That's from the bullpen 487 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:56,239 Speaker 4: that's kind of tired. How looking forward likely was it 488 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 4: going to be that they were two to zero in 489 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,640 Speaker 4: the Alcs going back home, considering they had to beat 490 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 4: the best pitcher on the planet for the fourth time 491 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:09,160 Speaker 4: in one season and they couldn't out hit a team 492 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 4: In my opinion, that in the Tigers that just lost 493 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 4: their bats in the second half, like they like. These 494 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 4: two teams were gonna beat each other up in a 495 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 4: pillow fight, and then they were gonna get boat raced 496 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 4: by the Blue Jays. And now we're looking at a 497 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,919 Speaker 4: team that's well rested, they're at home, and they have 498 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 4: a two to zero league. 499 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,399 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's really and there were so many moments in 500 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 5: that fifteen inning game where it could have gone either way, right, 501 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,400 Speaker 5: I mean, it was that close to having the Tigers 502 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,159 Speaker 5: be the team and knocking out the Mariners, and the 503 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,919 Speaker 5: whole narratives different. Seattle just wins a lot of those 504 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 5: three to one, three two games. It feels like they 505 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 5: played three two games almost every day. You know, there 506 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 5: was three to two in the last game of the LDS, 507 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 5: three to one in the first game, and then they 508 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 5: kind of boat race the Blue Jays at the end 509 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 5: of that second game. But you're right, it could have 510 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 5: gone either way. They looked at the Tigers and found 511 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 5: a team that was very much like them in the 512 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 5: sense that, you know, they do strike out some, but 513 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 5: they walk some. They pitch really well from the starting standpoint. 514 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 5: But yeah, they just were able to outlast him. And 515 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 5: maybe it's one of those fluky things of baseball, but 516 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 5: they were able to get that win in fifteen innings, 517 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 5: and then, like I said, go to Toronto and get 518 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 5: that kind of performance from Bryce Miller, right Like, I 519 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 5: think we forget sometimes how good Bryce Miller is because 520 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 5: his year was really choppy. I mean, he was injured twice, 521 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 5: you know, and when he was out there, he you know, 522 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 5: he had a five mid five Zra. But this is 523 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 5: a guy who was a budding superstar just last year 524 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 5: and now he looks like that pitcher again. Last game 525 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 5: against Toronto was his best outing of the year. He 526 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 5: was a little upset because, you know, in Game four 527 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 5: they pulled him at fifty five pitches. He felt he 528 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 5: was rolling. But as it turned out, they got a 529 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 5: little lucky because having only thrown fifty five pitches, he 530 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 5: was in a good spot to go six innings and 531 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 5: give them a really strong representative start. And not just 532 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 5: the six innings, but that kept the bullpen to where 533 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,119 Speaker 5: they didn't have to use that extra guy in the 534 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,680 Speaker 5: in that sixth And I feel like it's so important 535 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,159 Speaker 5: right now. If you've get a manager who's willing to 536 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 5: let his starter go six seven innings, if he's if 537 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 5: he's feeling good, then you don't expose the bullpen as much, 538 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 5: guys get a little more rest. And so I cred 539 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 5: Dan Wilson for going with his eyes on what he 540 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 5: saw with Miller in game six, Game one and let 541 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 5: him go six in it. 542 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 4: All right, Obviously, there's only two series going on right now, 543 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 4: so America is locked into two series. Tell us something 544 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 4: about Josh Naylor that we don't see in day to 545 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 4: day games watching this series, watching this team play because 546 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 4: you're there every day. Tell us something that he brings 547 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 4: obviously offensively, stealing bases, all that stuff to this team. 548 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 4: But tell us something we don't know about Josh Nayler. 549 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a great that's a great question, Eric, and 550 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 5: I was just texting with my college Jason Stark about that. 551 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:55,959 Speaker 5: Josh Nailer is the kind of player the more you 552 00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 5: watch him, the more impressed you are. He he just 553 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,120 Speaker 5: he's always thinking, you know, like he makes a lot 554 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 5: of really smart plays in the field, and on the 555 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 5: basis he's had a couple of errors this postseason, but 556 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 5: he's also had to play. He had like a three 557 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,119 Speaker 5: he had like a double play where you know, the 558 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 5: guy was on first and he had to tag the 559 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 5: right guy first, and he just execut he's always thinking. 560 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 5: You see that on the basis too, as you mentioned 561 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 5: the big stolen base against Google to you know, to 562 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 5: scratch out the one run they they were really going 563 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 5: to get off off him. So he's you know, he's 564 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 5: a he's a good hitter, not just a good power hitter, 565 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 5: right like I mean, he's he's got power. But he 566 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 5: hit two ninety five this year. It's really hard to 567 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 5: hit three hunderd now, and he came really close. I 568 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 5: just think he's a winner. I think he's a winning 569 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 5: player who really brings so much to that, to that 570 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 5: lineup to make it more legit, you know. And as 571 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 5: far as something that you don't know, I happen to 572 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 5: be sitting next to his family yesterday on the plane 573 00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 5: and his dad was wearing a really sweet Gary Payton jersey. 574 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 5: So you know, they're really in the full Seattle Seattle 575 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 5: mode right now, the family.

I like Camp too, though, 599 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 5: I mean. 600 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 4: McDaniel. 601 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 5: If you want to go back a little farther, I would. Okay, 602 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 5: you know, the X Man, Okay, I'm a little older, probably. 603 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 4: So the Super the SuperSonics. I like that. But the 604 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 4: other guy that they picked up at the trade deadline. 605 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 4: Is there any signs that Henneo Suarez is going to 606 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 4: break out of what the slump that he's in. I 607 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 4: don't want to say slump, or has he because it's 608 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 4: a he's a very flyball hitter. He didn't have a 609 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 4: great year when he came over to Seattle. It's forty 610 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 4: nine home runs, so I could really care less what 611 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 4: his what his short sample size, you know, but he's 612 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 4: a very flyball hitter coming home to a very unfriendly 613 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 4: flyball park. Is there any signs of him possibly breaking 614 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 4: out or where it's or is it just like, man, 615 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 4: I hope he runs into one. 616 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 5: That's kind of how I see it now, Like I don't. 617 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 5: I can't obviously see it with the eyes of a 618 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 5: of a hitter, but to me, it just looks like 619 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 5: it's a lot of big swings, and you hope he 620 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 5: runs into one. And the good thing about Seattle, I guess, 621 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 5: you know from what the numbers say is that you 622 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 5: can hit home runs here. I mean cal Raley, this 623 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 5: is his home ballpark, right It's there's no doubles and 624 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 5: triples though, It's like a lot of fly balls will 625 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 5: just hang up there and be caught on the warning 626 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 5: track or you know those fly balls, Like you said, 627 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 5: for a flyball hitter, if you really hit it, it's 628 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 5: going to go, but it's it's it'll get caught in 629 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 5: the air a lot if it's not really really well struck, 630 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 5: and then just become a harmless flyout. So you're seeing that, 631 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:04,720 Speaker 5: you know, the flats a lot of strikeouts. There's a 632 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 5: lot of swinging myths there. But he's a He is 633 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 5: a guy though, right that, Like if you're a manager, 634 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 5: you always know where he is because he can do 635 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 5: so much damage. And he's had a good season, a 636 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 5: good series, good couple's series in the field too. You know, 637 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 5: he's a solid guy there, so you know he's he's 638 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,240 Speaker 5: a big leaguer. I just felt like that there were 639 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 5: for so long that the Mariners just had a lot 640 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 5: of guys who weren't really legit everyday big leaguers in 641 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 5: that lineup. And over the course of last year when 642 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 5: they got a Rose Arena and Rojas and this year 643 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 5: with Nailor and Suarez, they just got a solid big 644 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 5: league lineup one through nine. And when you got Suarez, 645 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 5: Batton Low and then JP Crawcher about a ninth. That's 646 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 5: the lineup you have to respect all the way through. 647 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:50,239 Speaker 3: I want to talk not only about the players there, 648 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 3: but I want to talk about the stadium. We're talk 649 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,640 Speaker 3: a little bit about playing in Seattle. The atmosphere there 650 00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 3: is that like a tenth man for this team, and 651 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 3: how excited there and say right now to see this 652 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 3: team get after. 653 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, Todd, I I think it definitely can be. I mean, 654 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 5: you know, a lot of great atmosphere is in October 655 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 5: pretty much everywhere, but I think it is it is 656 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 5: special here. They have a really good they're engineer to 657 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 5: play well at home. You know, it's based on their personnel. 658 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 5: But this is a tremendous sports city and this venue 659 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 5: is it's my favorite stadium. Maybe I'm a little biased 660 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 5: because I was covering the team back in the nineties 661 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 5: of the year they moved here into the from the 662 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 5: Kingdome to Safecoast, so I saw the whole thing. But 663 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 5: it's the it's the only ballpark where the roof is 664 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 5: really just an umbrella. 665 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 2: You know. 666 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,600 Speaker 5: It's it's so it always feels like Seattle. You can't 667 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 5: enclose it, so it's gonna be you know, it could 668 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,200 Speaker 5: be cold, it could be you know a little that 669 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,080 Speaker 5: that that heavy air, but it's gonna feel like seattle. 670 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 5: But you're always gonna get a game because because you 671 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 5: got the roof, and the roof helps that sound, you know, reverberate. 672 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:57,520 Speaker 5: And you've got three you've really got like upper decks 673 00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 5: in left field, center and right. You know that at 674 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,719 Speaker 5: lefield upper deck is right over the it pretty much 675 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 5: overhangs the field just about centerfield the same thing, so 676 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 5: you've got that kind of surround sound effect with the roof, 677 00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:14,439 Speaker 5: and that's pretty cool. And they've you know, they've since 678 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 5: ninety five. Really, I mean their attendance that's going up 679 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:20,360 Speaker 5: and down, but that ninety five team really cemented baseball 680 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:24,240 Speaker 5: in this city. And when they're good like they are now, 681 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,799 Speaker 5: I mean, these fans really really show out. So it 682 00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:28,880 Speaker 5: was the stating was shaking. I could feel a shake 683 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,440 Speaker 5: in Game five. And they bring out the legends here, 684 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 5: and they've got a good amount of legends. You know 685 00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:39,760 Speaker 5: that Game five, see Griffy. We've seen Alvin Davis, mister Mariner. 686 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,480 Speaker 5: You know, I'm sure each year will be back. I mean, 687 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,960 Speaker 5: he's there all the time anyway, he's in uniform half 688 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:46,440 Speaker 5: the time. He played in the He played in the 689 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:50,360 Speaker 5: scrimmage games they had earlier this month, so you know, Felix, 690 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 5: I'm sure it'll be by maybe Randy. So they've got 691 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 5: a lot of a lot of cool alumni to to 692 00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:56,719 Speaker 5: blow the roof off it. 693 00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 4: All right, I need your case for MVP or not MVP. 694 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 5: Well, I have a I do have a vote, so 695 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:11,719 Speaker 5: I can't really say exactly, but I you know, I've 696 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,480 Speaker 5: written books about baseball history. I feel like I have 697 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 5: an appreciation for historical feats and it certainly really catches 698 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 5: your eye when you evaluate a performance that we've never 699 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:29,279 Speaker 5: seen before. Sixty home runs for a catcher, a switch hitter, 700 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,799 Speaker 5: We've never seen anything like that. I mean, he took 701 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:36,240 Speaker 5: down Ken Griffey Junior's Mariners record, Mickey Mantles switch hitting record, 702 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 5: and the record for catchers from every catcher who's ever 703 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:43,719 Speaker 5: played baseball. So that's pretty significant. While doing it for 704 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:48,560 Speaker 5: a playoff team and coming to the plate seven hundred times, 705 00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,759 Speaker 5: that's a lot. So it's it's it really makes you think. 706 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,160 Speaker 5: So I Judge was incredible too. I go on on 707 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:57,919 Speaker 5: about Iron Judge. It sawhim a lot in New York. 708 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,359 Speaker 5: But cal Raley when you think about all that seven 709 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:06,759 Speaker 5: hundred times the plate, more games caught than just about 710 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 5: anybody else, for a really good staff, excellent defense, and 711 00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:14,000 Speaker 5: all the home runs and production that gets your attention. 712 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:18,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you. For me, they're both incredible seasons. 713 00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,680 Speaker 1: I don't think it's close because you do ultimately have 714 00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 1: to make one choice. But whatever, it's not about me. 715 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,200 Speaker 1: A great, great explanation, Tyler. 716 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,680 Speaker 2: There so tell us without telling us, you chose cal 717 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 2: Me for sure. 718 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:31,600 Speaker 1: But I don't have a vote, Tyler does. 719 00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 3: Tyler tell us you basically told us who you picked for. 720 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:36,319 Speaker 3: But that's okay, we we love you. 721 00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:37,600 Speaker 4: That's not true. 722 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,839 Speaker 5: Hey, I mean, you know, I gotta dance a little bit, 723 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:45,239 Speaker 5: but I'm not a good chancer, dude. So but yeah, 724 00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,400 Speaker 5: so no, it's uh, it's it's all good. It's it's 725 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:49,920 Speaker 5: gonna be all of a race. It'd be cool if 726 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 5: it was a tie, but I agree. I mean, one 727 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:56,960 Speaker 5: thing I will say about baseball writers is that if 728 00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 5: historically we kind of do I think understand maybe it 729 00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,680 Speaker 5: because we've all read Eric's book, but we do sort 730 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 5: of understand the importance of catching and how rigorous that is, 731 00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:12,640 Speaker 5: and the toll that it takes in your body and 732 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:16,160 Speaker 5: you're hitting and all that. So, I mean, I think 733 00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,040 Speaker 5: that's why you'll see Yati Molina be a Hall of 734 00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:19,920 Speaker 5: Famer and you'll probably Sea Buster Posey be a Hall 735 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,480 Speaker 5: of Famer. I think there's a lot of respect for 736 00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,799 Speaker 5: what you catchers have to go through, and when you 737 00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,839 Speaker 5: do it on a high level like cal, it's it's 738 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:30,919 Speaker 5: super impressive. And he's been great in the postseason too. 739 00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:32,640 Speaker 5: I mean, he's getting a lot of singles, which is 740 00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,200 Speaker 5: a little unusual for him, but he does have a 741 00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,320 Speaker 5: couple of big home runs and helping the pitching staff 742 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:36,920 Speaker 5: at key moments. 743 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,279 Speaker 1: Hey, last one for you, Tyler, because you are a 744 00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:44,600 Speaker 1: legendary historian. We've been debating this now for like thirty minutes, 745 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,960 Speaker 1: and actually you can help me settle this. So the 746 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,480 Speaker 1: most recent team to lose the first two games at 747 00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,280 Speaker 1: home and come back to win a best of seven series. Okay, 748 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,239 Speaker 1: and I know your thing is world series where you 749 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,080 Speaker 1: just basically know everything right and LCS. That starts to 750 00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,279 Speaker 1: get a little bit crazy, but I've Kratz came back 751 00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,440 Speaker 1: to me. Kratz twenty seventeen. They split the first two 752 00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 1: at home, So that's off. Someone else came back at 753 00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,040 Speaker 1: me online about a couple of things that I went 754 00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,000 Speaker 1: back on, So you do you know what it is? 755 00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:15,400 Speaker 5: I mean, the six ninety six World Series was you know, 756 00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:19,120 Speaker 5: the Yankees lost two at home. Atlanta had just stormed 757 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,239 Speaker 5: through the Cardinals the end of that series. They blew 758 00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,279 Speaker 5: out the Yankees twice. They never looked any better, and 759 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,240 Speaker 5: then they go to Atlanta and lose three, and really 760 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,960 Speaker 5: that shifted the whole balance of power in the nineties 761 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,280 Speaker 5: from the Braves to the Yankees in those last four games. 762 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:34,960 Speaker 5: So I think that was the last time. It also 763 00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,120 Speaker 5: happened in eighty five and eighty six, also we had 764 00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,520 Speaker 5: the Mets lost two at home, they won in seven. 765 00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:42,759 Speaker 5: The Royals lost two at home in eighty five and 766 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,160 Speaker 5: they won in seven. So it did happen three times 767 00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:48,040 Speaker 5: in eleven years eighty five, eighty six, and ninety six. 768 00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:50,680 Speaker 5: But I think that's the only three times it's happened 769 00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:51,400 Speaker 5: in the World Series. 770 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 1: Bingo, that is correct. Those are the only three in 771 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:55,960 Speaker 1: the World Series. And the last time that happened, even 772 00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:00,000 Speaker 1: extending it to LCS was still the ninety six Atlanta Braves. 773 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,400 Speaker 1: So good stuff. I knew this was perfect timing that 774 00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,319 Speaker 1: he's the best at this. Tyler, you're the man. Thank 775 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:06,440 Speaker 1: you so much for joining us. 776 00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:08,759 Speaker 5: Great to see you, all right, fell It's good to 777 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:10,560 Speaker 5: see you too, and it's always always good to talk 778 00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:11,439 Speaker 5: to a Monco guy. 779 00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:15,080 Speaker 4: Eric.

I don't know if it's good or 793 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:05,799 Speaker 1: bad attention. It's a little bit of both.
