Let's go up to lead off. It's getting 13 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: robbed and keep him on. Rob's hot take on the 14 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: three biggest stories in Major League Baseball. Number one Aaron 15 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: John did it Wednesday night in Toronto with a two 16 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: run home run that gave him sixty one on this season. 17 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: Take a listen, there goes that he left it us high, 18 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:18,680 Speaker 1: hit us far. That is gone number sixty one. He 19 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: ties Roger Maris for the American League single season record 20 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: with sixty run home runs. HiT's a two run judge 21 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 1: and blast. Here comes the Judge to run, blast and 22 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: the Yankees take a five three lead, A number sixty 23 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 1: one for Judge. What a moment? What a season? Do 24 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: you hear that crowd in Toronto understanding the moment? How 25 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: big it was for Aaron Judge to tie the record 26 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: for the most home runs in the American League ever. 27 00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: Babe Ruth hit sixty, Roger Marris had sixty one, and 28 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: now Aaron Judge has at least nine games. Are so 29 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: left to hit one more home run to have the 30 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: all time record at sixty two? Or who knows? You 31 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: get hit a bunch? But what a season when you 32 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: think about what he's been through, turning down a two 33 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: hundred and thirteen million dollar contract extension at age thirty, 34 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:28,519 Speaker 1: betting on himself, history of being injured, and putting together 35 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 1: one of the greatest seasons we've ever seen, and he also, 36 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: to top everything else, could win the Triple Crown. An 37 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: amazing season, one of the greatest seasons I've ever seen 38 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: in baseball. Hats off to Aaron Judge. The New York 39 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: Yankees Slucker number two. Talk about a fairy tale ending 40 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: to a career. We would be remiss if we don't 41 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: give Albert Pooles his due. After he had two home 42 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: runs against the Dodgers to finally reach home run number 43 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: seven hundred, which has been an incredible ride, incredible career 44 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: lifetime to nineties six batting average three thousand, three hundred 45 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 1: and seventies, seven hits, two thousand, two hundred and eight 46 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: r b I and that magical number seven hundred, becoming 47 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 1: just the fourth player in baseball history. Of course, you 48 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: have Barry Bonds, Hank, Aaron Babe Ruth and now Albert 49 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,559 Speaker 1: pool Holes. No one could have imagined when he returned 50 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: to the St. Louis Cardinals where he started his career, 51 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: that he would be able to get to number seven 52 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: hundred and do it in such flair in his last year. 53 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: I don't believe he's coming back. I think he's good 54 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: on his career. Getting that magical number seven hundred is 55 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: pretty damn impressive. What a career for the the Dominican 56 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: born player who uh now is the only Latin player 57 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: to break the seven hundred home run mark. Pretty special, 58 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 1: Albert Poolols, he did it number three. Let's give it 59 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 1: up to the Young Guns better known as the Cleveland Guardians. Somehow, 60 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: some way. They've won the a L Central and they're 61 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: going to the postseason first time they've won the division. 62 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: Since they currently have the youngest team in Major League Baseball. 63 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: I think the average ages like and uh they got 64 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: a bright future, but they're playing great ball. Everybody thought 65 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: the White Sox would win the a L Central. They've 66 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: had some injury. They lost their manager, uh, Tony LaRussa. 67 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: They lost Tim Anderson, their stars short stop, so a 68 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 1: lot of things didn't go right. A lot of people 69 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: thought maybe it was gonna be the Minnesota Twins. They 70 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: put together a great year for most of the year 71 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: and faded at the end. But um, it was the 72 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: Guardians who came together at the end, had a steady 73 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 1: climb in the second half, and they win the division. 74 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 1: And now they go to the postseason with some good 75 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 1: pitching and they could be a scary team to face. 76 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 1: Congrats to Cleveland. Here comes the big interview. Listen Hendler. Now, 77 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: let's welcome in Bob Nightingale, one of the best baseball 78 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: writers in the country for USA Today, a friend of mine. Bob, 79 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: Welcome to the podcast. How are you yeah doing great man, Bob? 80 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 1: I'm ready for the postseason. A lot of good teams, uh, 81 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: that can finally make the final roster for the hunt 82 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: for October. But let's start here with the Mariners and 83 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: are they gonna choke this down? And they're not gonna 84 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: make the postseason? Because boy, if they picked a bad 85 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 1: time coming into Wednesday day had lost seven of their 86 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: last ten? Are they gonna make the playoffs? Don't make 87 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: it only because of the expanding playoffs if it wasn't 88 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: twenty one years straight draft of uh not reaching the playoffs. 89 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: So yeah, they got it just because Baltimore. Uh, you 90 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: know they can't catch up. They're losing games themselves. And 91 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 1: for Baltimore's sake, you know, their gym gave up with 92 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: the trade downline because I don't think we can even 93 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 1: if we made the playoffs. Who went to go far? 94 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: So they get what they deserve. How about the let's 95 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: go to the NL East? Uh? The Mets basically hold 96 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 1: the NL least all year, got off to a great start. Uh, 97 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: Atlanta just never went away. And here we are going 98 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: into Wednesday where they're todd Who's gonna win the NL East? 99 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 1: And Y I think Atlanta is you know I thought 100 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: them all along, they just never went away. I mean 101 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 1: there was a Mets at a ten app game lead. 102 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: Mets have led this division all but four days, but 103 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: Atlantic just kept coming and coming and coming, and a 104 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: lot of a a lot of young players too with 105 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: you know, Michael Harris and uh Strainer and Gristo so 106 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: Um bake three games series over the weekend in Atlanta 107 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: and that we'll decide it. But either way, I mean 108 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: both teams should be Uh. I will loverly get some 109 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,679 Speaker 1: runner up spot. It's just still advance in the next round. 110 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: Follow up on the Mets Jacob de Guam. Should Met 111 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: fans be concerned? I mean, he started out as a 112 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: house of fire, has been getting beat up a little 113 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: bit here. Uh doesn't seem to be as as sharp 114 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: and Christmas we've known him to be. Is there a 115 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: reason for concern? I would think a little bit. You know. 116 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: I think when he started off like that, people are thinking, 117 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: you know, here's see the Kovacs coming. It's like, wait 118 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: a minute, now, this guy has been out for quite 119 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: a while, you know, let's see I mean, you know, 120 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: during the planets he should be fine. But it's not 121 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: like any Mannock win or anything like that. Uh. You know, 122 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: one thing to remember is that they don't win the division, 123 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: they have to play that wild card round. If they 124 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: play that wild card round, you're gonna use shirts and 125 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: the glam in two of that best of five series. 126 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: Our guest is Bob Nightingale, Baseball Columns for USA Today. 127 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: We're jumping around talking about teams in the postseason as 128 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: we get close to the final week of the regular season. 129 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 1: The Dodgers have an unbelievable record and they've been just 130 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: run away with the n O West. But I don't 131 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: love their starting pitching, and I don't love the idea 132 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,839 Speaker 1: of bullpen by committee. Where are you on the Dodgers 133 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: and they're pitching. I know Craig Kimble, uh, you know, 134 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:59,079 Speaker 1: was demoted because he's been ineffective. I'm a little concerned 135 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: about the Dodgers pit team. Now I'm with you, Rob, 136 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, certainly they've proven they're the best regular 137 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 1: season team. You know, they're gonna, you know, break their 138 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,319 Speaker 1: franchise record. They should finish with the second most wins 139 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: in the nationally history. But that being said, I mean, 140 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,079 Speaker 1: you get you get a Julia Worrious uh claim Kershaw, 141 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: you mean you trust anybody all set rotation yeah, I 142 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: don't think. Yeah, exactly in the bullpen. I mean, let's 143 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: see if kimber will even even the playoff roster. Uh, 144 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: he may not make it. And I'm with you, I don't. 145 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: I hate bullpen by committees. Nobody knows what the rule is. 146 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: They try matchups. Uh, you know, especially now, you gotta 147 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: face a minimum of three batters. So I don't remember 148 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: those things working in the past. Uh. Actually, you know 149 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,199 Speaker 1: what I've been worked with. When the Red Sox did it, 150 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: when David Price was closing out games. That was back 151 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 1: in seventeen and uh, I'm not seventeens. When they beat 152 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: the Dodgers in the eighteen in that was the year 153 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: kimberl was on the plan. He was in the playoff roster, 154 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 1: but he was at closing games. Too shaky for Alex 155 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 1: Core in the US, no doubt. Let me ask you. 156 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 1: The flip side is the Padres. You know, are gonna 157 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: finish in second place, twenty plus games out of first 158 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 1: place behind the Dodgers. But can they have a stunning 159 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 1: playoff run because they have nothing but pitching. I like 160 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 1: their rotation, and you know in the postseason you put 161 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: some of those guys in the bullpen as well to 162 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: give you innings. Can they make a run with their pitching, Well, 163 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 1: they can. Rob They're scary team. You know. It's like, 164 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: you know, may Nurse have a great pitching too, you know, 165 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: going from uh you know, uh Castillo and Robby Ray 166 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: and you know Kirby and on and on Logan Gilbert 167 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: h same thing with the Podreys. But they're a better gen. 168 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 1: I mean the way drivers your storm right now, you 169 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: might take driver wish over anybody. Joe Musgrove, Uh, you'll 170 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: be a solid number to Blake Snell's having his uh 171 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: best wretch, you know, Mike Levinger number four. Uh, you 172 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: know you've got Josh Hayter as the closer. I'm with 173 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: you that that if Baby's gonna do with their price 174 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: somebody in the playoffs, it could be the Potteries. Uh, 175 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:20,319 Speaker 1: you know with that rotation. And last thing, Uh, the Guardians, 176 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,319 Speaker 1: I mean they won that division. I don't know how 177 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: they know. They've got a young nucleus. I think they 178 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: have the youngest team in baseball, and uh here they are. 179 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: They beat out the White Sox. The Twins were in 180 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 1: first place for a good amount of time during the season. 181 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: They faded. What about the Guardians, Uh, do they have 182 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: any legs? You know, they they play old style, you know, 183 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,439 Speaker 1: just put the ball and play. They don't hit home runs, 184 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: but they you know, pitch will playing great defense. Uh, 185 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,959 Speaker 1: you know, hit and run. If Jarry Frank Coner's done 186 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: mashful job again, you know it will be the Hall 187 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: of Fame one day. You should have win Manage of 188 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: the Year. This here with what he's done. And you're 189 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: right in the average twenty six years of Abes, the 190 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: youngest team in baseball in uh, you know, one the 191 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: youngest ever to make the postseason. Sixteen guys made their 192 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: major league debuts this year. So you know, I don't 193 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: see them going far in the playoffs, but I do 194 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: see them winning the World Series here in a few years. 195 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna, you know, have a nice deep 196 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: run in the American League Central for years to come. 197 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 1: His name is Bob Nightingale, one of the best in 198 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: the business. And later on in the podcast, part two 199 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: of our Conversation with Mr Bob Nightingale, well, we'll talk 200 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: about some of the moves we could expect in the 201 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: off season in Major League Baseball.

It's time for the Pocket Protector Central. 206 00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: The analytic numbers you need to know? Well, maybe Anthony 207 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: Masterson is his name. B S Analytics is his game. 208 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: What do you got for me, Anthony? The beauty of 209 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: a baseball season is seeing the teams who weren't supposed 210 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,079 Speaker 1: to be playing in October finding their way among the 211 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 1: league's best. That's right, I'm talking about the Cleveland Guardians. 212 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: The Guardians were picked to finish fourth in their own 213 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 1: division by most prognosticators, only ahead of the Royals, and 214 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: yet they clinched the Central with ten days to go 215 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,439 Speaker 1: in the season. Now, how did the youngest team in 216 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: baseball accomplish that feat? Let's start with the offense. This 217 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 1: ainth Blake Street Bombers. Far from it, in fact, as 218 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: the team finished only ahead of the Tigers in home runs, 219 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: they are last in teammates and velocity, thirteenth and walk rate, 220 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: and yet they finished first in strikeout rate, first in 221 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 1: contact rate and second and stolen bases, becoming the first 222 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 1: team in nearly a decade to have five players reach 223 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: fifteen plus steels. From a pitching standpoint, they can do 224 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: it on both ends. They're the only team to boast 225 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,599 Speaker 1: three qualified pitchers with ten wins and an e r 226 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: A under three fifty. While they're bullpen posted a league 227 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: best to r A in a second half with the gloves, 228 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 1: the Guardians have excelled, posting twenty two outs above average 229 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,439 Speaker 1: the stat cast Metric, second in the a L, only 230 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: behind the Astros and of course the manager. Since Cleveland 231 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: hired Terry Francona, the team has the best second half 232 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,679 Speaker 1: winning percentage of any team in the American League, with 233 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: odds to win the division of just seven point five 234 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 1: At the start of the year, this Guardians team became 235 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: the first squad who rated as the youngest in baseball 236 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: to make the postseason since the nineteen seventy reds Now 237 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: With the longest title drought and MLB, these Guardians hope 238 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: to have a little Royals in them. It was a 239 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: big week in the big leagues. Who's Is It Foul? 240 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: Or Is It Fair? And now from mlbad bro dot 241 00:14:53,320 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: Com Here's JR Gamball JR. Is It Foul or FA? 242 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: To say that Aaron Judge won't win the Triple Crown 243 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: in the American League foul foul ball. Aaron Judge won't 244 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: win the batting title portion of the triple crown unless 245 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: he gets that sixty one and sixty second homer out 246 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: of the way in the next game or two usually 247 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: these final ten games. So it would be easy sailing 248 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: for the Yankees as they prepare for a World Series run, 249 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: having locked up the playoffs slot weeks ago. Instead, every 250 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: at bat will be stressful, especially for Judge, and covered 251 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: tediously by all media outlets. There were already complaints when 252 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: the college football game was cut into last Saturday. The 253 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: show fans Judges at bat against Boston, so a lot 254 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 1: is going on here and news outlets are covering it. 255 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: On a hundred, Judge sits along with the three or 256 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: four teen batting average, but not far behind a Minnesota's 257 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: Luisa Rias nicknamed Lavera Gadara the Watering Camp for you 258 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: non bilingual Caveman hitting three thirteen and examder Boguards of 259 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: Boston is still hunting at three ten as of Wednesday. 260 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: Judge can hit with both of them. However, neither of 261 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: these guys. Teams are playing for anything, so these hitters 262 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: have nothing to lose and are probably competing against their 263 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: fair share of minor league call ups suspect relievers just 264 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: getting a look. Those guys are on easy street. Aaron Judge, however, 265 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: will be watched like a hall and pitched differently because 266 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: no one wants to give up the record breaking home 267 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 1: run to him. A prime example is Tuesday Night's game 268 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: when he was walked four times in a five to 269 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: win over another playoff team in Toronto. Judges had a 270 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: tremendous season and maybe he does pull off the triple crown, 271 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 1: but the odds are stacked against him. Then again, they 272 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: were at the beginning of the season. And look what 273 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: kind of historical season this Yankees MLB bro legend has produced, 274 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: so don't count them out. When Rob was a newspaper columnist, 275 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 1: he lived by this motto, if I'm writing, I'm ripping, 276 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,479 Speaker 1: Let's bring in a writer of broadcaster, older new All right, now, 277 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: let's welcome in Bob Nightingale, of course baseball columnists at 278 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,439 Speaker 1: USA today, one of the best who covers the game. 279 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,680 Speaker 1: And Don Mattingley, let's start there, and the Miami Moallins 280 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: a part of company after this season. Maddenly's done. What 281 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 1: happened there. I mean, obviously there's not a lot of 282 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 1: talent there. But as this this marriage just run its course. Yeah. Absolutely. 283 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: Remember even a few years ago for him to come back, 284 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: he had to take it a massive pay cut. They 285 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 1: were never sold on him, and they talked through in 286 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: content this year. They certainly had a pitching to do so, 287 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: but just to see the uh you know, improvement. You know, 288 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: they called a mutual you know, uh understanding. They're both 289 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: uh you know, going in different ways. But really he 290 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 1: got fired. You know, they just were going to bring 291 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 1: him back, and uh you know, I know he wants 292 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 1: to manage again one day. I'm not sure we're ever 293 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 1: gonna see that happen. All right, then that's my next question, 294 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,679 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, if the Yankees don't win a 295 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,120 Speaker 1: World Series, is there any chance? I mean it's hard. 296 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 1: Aaron Boone has been there. I know they re signed them. 297 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 1: There was a question mark last year. Uh. Brian Cashman 298 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: has been with the Yankees since the Louisiana Proaches. I mean, 299 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: uh GM twenty five years or so pop, which is incredible, 300 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: you know, nowadays is there any chance Derek Jeter and 301 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: Don Mattingley could wind up in the Bronx if if 302 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: the Yankees flame out in the postseason. No, I don't. 303 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 1: I don't see that at all. I mean, Manningley could 304 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: end up in the organization, let's say hitting instructor or 305 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 1: something like that, or you know, uh, some of the 306 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: front office, but but not Jeter. Remember Jeter and Cashman, 307 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 1: you know, throwing up that last contract. You know, pretty 308 00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: much hated each other. They weren't talking to each other whatsoever. Uh. 309 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: You know, I'm not sure that ever, you know, got Man. 310 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,199 Speaker 1: So I can't see Jeter going to that front office. 311 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 1: I really can't. I mean, he'll be back in someone's 312 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 1: front offense, and I could be a part of someone's 313 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 1: ownership group, you know, maybe with the Orioles for sale 314 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 1: or the nass Nationals for sale. They'll bring him in. 315 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 1: But I can't see him back with the Yankees as 316 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,399 Speaker 1: long as Cashman's there. I really can't. Our guest is 317 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:27,359 Speaker 1: Bob Nightingale from USA today. A couple of notes and news, 318 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: uh for after this Major League Baseball season which ends 319 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 1: next week. Uh, Juan Soto, Bob, At the time, I 320 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 1: thought he made a colossal mistake. And I'm gonna say 321 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 1: that I don't think he'll ever get four hundred and 322 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,679 Speaker 1: forty million dollars offered to him again. But for somebody 323 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: to pass that money up at his age, it was 324 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 1: monumental to me. And he's done nothing but struggle in 325 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 1: San Diego. Did he make a mistake or will he 326 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 1: wind up getting more than the four hundred and forty 327 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 1: he passed up at some point we'll see. I mean 328 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: we're asking that about Aaron Judge, and look what he's done. Uh, 329 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 1: you know, he's got two more years to you know, 330 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: show what he can do. Uh. I mean he's you know, 331 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 1: you're right, he struggled big time. I mean he was 332 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: struggling in Washington too. I mean, certainly he's playing like 333 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 1: a guy that taking that contract. The way he's playing, 334 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,199 Speaker 1: you know, I get a little sick too when he say, oh, 335 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: look at the watch he's taken. He's not. He's not 336 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,199 Speaker 1: Ricky Henderson. He's just getting a first base. So you know, 337 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 1: let's drive in some run, let's set some home runs 338 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: and make a difference there. I think people nowntaists get 339 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: way too caught up, and guy he's taken walks. You know, 340 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,120 Speaker 1: let's say, Uh, you know, we used to getta laugh 341 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: at those guys that just took Watts and Cloud in 342 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: your first base. You know who was he? Uh, Eddie 343 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: Gadell in the midget he took box too all of him. 344 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 1: Speaking of of betting on himself, Aaron Judge. Uh, he 345 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: turned out two hundred thirteen million dollar extension. And obviously 346 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 1: he has a chance, Bob to win the Triple Crown, 347 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 1: which is incredible, and the National League and uh set 348 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 1: the all time the American League and set the all 349 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:09,400 Speaker 1: time record for home runs both. Uh, what what payday 350 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: are we looking at? So to thirteen is that turn 351 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: into three fifty or does that turn into four hundred 352 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 1: or just three hundred? Yeah, more like three hundred. Rob. 353 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 1: I think that hurts him is that he'll be a 354 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 1: thirty one at the start of next season. You know, 355 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 1: may we've seen with the Albert Poles contract and Guil 356 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 1: Cabrera contract. You know, just doesn't turn out when when 357 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: guys get forty. So you know, I'm sure he'll want 358 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,400 Speaker 1: your nine or ten year contract. I don't see him 359 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 1: getting it. I think he'll get an eight year deal. 360 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: Open the Yankees, probably right around between two ninety and 361 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: three ten. You remember Mike Trot right now with the 362 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,400 Speaker 1: highest paid player per year on annual average salary at 363 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,919 Speaker 1: thirty six a year. So you know, if you go up, 364 00:21:55,920 --> 00:22:00,159 Speaker 1: you know, thirty six times eight and it's like, uh uh, 365 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: you know, go a little bit more than that. You know, 366 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: maybe even hits forty times eight. That would be the 367 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: best he could do. I think we should be three. 368 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 1: But you're right around that three hundred three hund million 369 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: dollar range. Yeah, I agree, somewhere in that neighborhood. Not 370 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: not a bad hey, he wanted up making another eighty 371 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 1: five million with the season he put together two other notes. 372 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: I want to get to David Price with the Dodgers 373 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: calling it quitch. You broke that story. Uh, He's had 374 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:29,160 Speaker 1: some career. He was a stud starter obviously, pitched out 375 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: a bullpen and had some uh some great years. What 376 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: do you think? What do you remember most about David Price? Yeah? 377 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 1: I mean just a familess picture, a great, great competitor, 378 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 1: you know, I remember him, you know, joinian in Boston, 379 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 1: pitching on the bullpen, helping him win the World Series, Um, 380 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: you know, winning winning his young Award, you know, being 381 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,119 Speaker 1: a you know, the stud in Tampa that went to 382 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 1: Detroit and with lights out in Detroit helped Toronto get 383 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: to the playoffs. But just a a great picture, uh 384 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 1: you know, will always be remembered when a black aces 385 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 1: a few guys black pictures in baseball at one twenty games. 386 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 1: So just a class act too, you know. I mean 387 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: he set up the COVID season just to be with 388 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: his family and stuff in Phoenix and just kind of 389 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,439 Speaker 1: hung out there. You're not not thinking is it worked 390 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 1: at you know, he sacrifice about and what was it 391 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: seventeen million dollars or so much by not playing that season. 392 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: So just a uh Jenna gentleman and a real real 393 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: family man. Last thing. The Boston Red Sox just an 394 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 1: awful season, last place in the A L East. That 395 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 1: are they going to be changes in Beantown? It doesn't 396 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 1: sound like it, but you you know, you'd start hearing rumblings. Okay, 397 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: how well was Alex core and him Bloom Bloom the 398 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: GM getting along? What were the stat I think only 399 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,160 Speaker 1: five times in uh a seventy five year period, seven 400 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: year period the Red Sox facial last, but they finished 401 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 1: last five times now because two thousand and eleven, yes, 402 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,479 Speaker 1: they won a couple of World Series, but beast or famine, Um, 403 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 1: it'll be interesting. I mean the uh yeah, I mean 404 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 1: what the blunder letting a Mookie Betts walk. And now 405 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: let's see how hard they try to keep Zano bug arts. 406 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: They've only offered him a one year extension you know 407 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 1: where he can opt out. So you know when people 408 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 1: talk about Aaron Judge and you know, why would Aaron 409 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: Judge go there? And they're not even paying to keep 410 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 1: their own own stars. So I mean, yeah, very curious 411 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: to see at the open up that you had checkbook 412 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: this winner. I got a filling they won't all right. 413 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: His name Bob Ningale. Check out his stuff at USA Today. 414 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 1: One of the best baseball columnists in the country. Bob 415 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,119 Speaker 1: always a pleasure man. Thanks for doing a little double duty. 416 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: We wanted to get as much knowledge as we could 417 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: out of you this time, sir, my pleasure. Thanks as always. Roight. 418 00:24:55,240 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: Now bring in the closer. Y MLB is better than 419 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: the NFL or NBA, and it isn't even close. Why 420 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 1: baseball is better than the NBA and the NFL. Reason 421 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 1: number seven hundred in honor of Albert Pools. Yes, and 422 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:23,639 Speaker 1: it's the postseason. Unlike a lot of sports where you 423 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 1: only have a handful of teams that really have a 424 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,880 Speaker 1: chance to win. And we're talking about in the NFL 425 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: and the NBA, it's usually the same group of suspects 426 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 1: who have a chance to win a championship. But this 427 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 1: year in baseball is very special. There's literally seven or 428 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,199 Speaker 1: eight teams that have a legitimate shot at winning a 429 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 1: World Series. And that's what makes baseball great. The parody 430 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 1: and people talk about the NFL has parody, but but 431 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: not when it comes to winning. More different teams have 432 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 1: won championships in Major League Baseball in the last thirty years. 433 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: Then football in the NBA, no matter what your payroll is, 434 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:12,120 Speaker 1: no matter what city you're in. We've seen Kansas City win. 435 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,879 Speaker 1: We've seen teams like Tampa go to the World Series 436 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 1: a couple of times. Um so, so I think it's open, 437 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: and I don't think anybody really knows who's gonna win 438 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 1: the World Series. I picked the Yankees over the Padres 439 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 1: to start the season, and I'm gonna stay there with 440 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 1: my pick. But if I told you I was confident, 441 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 1: I'd be lying. In the words of New York TV 442 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,639 Speaker 1: legend of late Bill Jorgensen, thanking you for your time 443 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 1: this time until next time.
