62
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: Uh now, pretty much every day is gonna be Friday

63
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: for the Reds. Pretty soon things started out well for them,

64
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: and uh now they have not gotten better. No, the

65
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: Dodgers now lead this over the Reds seven to two.

66
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: An explosion of runs here in the sixth inning. You

67
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: get a Otani single that brings in the fourth run.

68
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: Mookie Bets double brings in the fifth run to Oscar Hernandez,

69
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: making up for the runs he gave up in the

70
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: first inning with a big double the center field to

71
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: bring in two runs. So he's operating a zero sum

72
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 1: number four tonight. I cost you two runs in the first,

73
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: I get you two runs back in the sixth.

74
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 3: We're all even now.

75
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: Okay, So the Dodgers right now are nine outs away

76
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: from the next round of the playoffs. Had their chance,

77
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: had their chance in the six runners on, but then

78
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: you get back to back strikeouts. Yeah, and Elie Dela

79
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 1: Cruz trying to check his swing and.

80
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 3: That look up.

81
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: Oh no, the slow motion like that'll be a gift.

82
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

83
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: I mean, Yamamoto just had that curve working. I mean

84
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: was he wasn't even throwing it for a he was

85
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: throwing it at the knees and it was just diving

86
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: to the dirt like it really was impressive.

87
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: Uh.

88
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: And I will say this now as bad as I

89
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: thought told you I felt bad a few minutes ago. Man,

90
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: I just got upset about the Mets when I watched

91
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: the Guardians and they're no hitting having lineup.

92
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, getting this far three series will get you angry tomorrow.

93
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I don't care about the other ones, right,

94
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: but I will feel better if the Reds get knocked

95
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: out like okay, like if the Dodgers score ten runs

96
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: in the first two gawn, I'm like, okay, they probably

97
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: would have done that to the Mets anyway, because the

98
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: Mets had absolutely no pitching.

99
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 3: They probably would have done it to Nolan McClain.

100
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: He's the only one who was any good, like real

101
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: They had no other pitchers, nobody else besides Nolan McLain.

102
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 3: So, okay, maybe they win the first game. Maybe maybe

103
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 3: he just leaves Game.

104
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: One with a one to one tie and then when

105
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: the bullpen comes in the Dodgers win eleven to one.

106
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: But I'm like, Okay, if this is what happens, I feel.

107
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 3: A lot better. Yeah, but bullpen on bullpen, that could

108
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 3: have been fun.

109
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I will feel a lot better if the reds loose,

110
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, I feel like I'll feel a lot better. Well,

111
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: now that ta Oscar made up for the air, We'll

112
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: see if he Yamamoto's back out for the seven ninety

113
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 1: three pitches after those back to back strikeouts to end

114
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 1: the sixth and now stake to an even larger lead,

115
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 1: whether he's free and breezy or yeah, he comes out

116
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: to start the start the seventh. Here four hits, two runs,

117
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: neither earned of course because of your old friend no

118
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: eight strikeouts zero. Watch again, just to just to put

119
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: this to think about this, right, we talk about, Hey,

120
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: this MLB playoffs isn't going to go without the Dodger

121
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 1: bullpen saying, hey, we have something to say about this, right, we.

122
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 3: Got something as you think that dog, we got something

123
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 3: to say. We can't get.

124
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: Anybody out, we got you're gonna see us, You're we're

125
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: gonna be there. The other part is this, the Dodgers

126
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: defense is not good.

127
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 3: Right.

128
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: They gave the two runs of the Reds early on

129
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: in this game with a fly ball. Of the flyball

130
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: right field task has to catch. You have a guy

131
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: playing right field. That's not good. Mookie Betts is not good.

132
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 1: You're not This is not a really strong defensive team.

133
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 1: And just to put in here, just to put that

134
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: away and think about a play against the Phillies or

135
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: whoever it's gonna be where they go, Oh man, that

136
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: defensive play really hurt them.

137
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 3: There. It's a couple of things of the Dodgers, just

138
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 3: to think about. It's time going.

139
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: Joey funny though yesterday obviously we're on air, we're breaking

140
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: the games down and talking up everything in sports, sports, sports.

141
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: It's one time that I thought about going back and

142
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: finding the podcast of the Dodgers Post, just to see

143
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: how negative the callers were, even though the offense was

144
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: great with five home runs and everything else, that it

145
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: was going to be all about the bullpen, because I

146
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: guarant damn t it was an hour of calls lamenting.

147
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 3: The fate of the bullpen.

148
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: Even with what Snell did as the starter and even

149
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: what that offense did, it became about the fifty nine

150
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: pitch eighth inning. Now, speaking of bullpens, I gotta tell

151
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: you this quick story before we get to the big

00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: You know, it's not like he's got one of those

162
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,200

00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,880

00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: my dad goes, well, next year he was and he

00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: was already done.

181
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 3: Next year.

182
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: It's three three in the seventh inning and you stay

183
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: on and with the long enough for that inning day

184
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: he was done. No, no, no, I said, listen, I'll

185
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: call you back after the inning. Z O want to

186
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: miss it. So I called him after they got out

187
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: of the inning and then and then we talked for

188
00:07:58,760 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: a few minutes.

189
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 3: But like just the way he's like, yeah, next year,

190
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 3: like seven he was. He was already done. I'm done.

191
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 3: I'm moving on. Hey, you compartmentalize it, put it on

192
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 3: the shelf. It's over.

193
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: But Dad, it's the seventh inning. It's it's a tie

194
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: game if you win this. I mean what Okay, Okay,

195
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: I'm done.

196
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 3: I'm done. Next year, next year, next year.

197
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: Oh well, so in a classic character and you're written

198
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: a sitcom about him, he would be in it, though

199
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: I would have to put my dad in. I don't

200
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: know who would play him, though, I'm trying to think

201
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: he would play my dad.

202
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 3: I mean maybe because it's time for Michael Richards to

203
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 3: make a comman. Wow, Michael Richards is my Yeah, you

204
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 3: just gotten some great reviews, some back and forth. Michael

205
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 3: Richards could.

206
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: Be able to pull off being my dad. But you

207
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: know what you know from a physical resemblance though, Yeah,

208
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: who playing my dad is?

209
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 3: Michael Kane? I know because he was my dad.

210
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: Looks like if if Michael Caine and Art Garfunkle had

211
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: a child, like, that's what my dad looks like, like

212
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: I mean Garfunkle from the seventies shot like now like

213
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: because that's the kind of hair my dad had, like

214
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: the loose blonde hair.

215
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 3: But he looks but also much so. If Michael Kane

216
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 3: art Garfunkle out of dad a baby, that would be

217
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 3: my dad. That's great.

218
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: So I'd like seeing Michael Kane playing my dad would

219
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: actually be really fun. But coming out of retirement, he

220
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: could he not do it. I don't think he can't

221
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: not do an English act. I don't think he'd I

222
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,719
Speaker 1: don't think he'd want him to. I don't think how

223
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: Walt is suddenly British. Your dad's from Britain.

224
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 3: No, is not.

225
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: Why the you know what, Just go with it. That's fine,

226
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: don't worry about it. We don't need quality. You were

227
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: only supposed to blow the bloody doors up.

228
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 3: I never said that.

229
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: You're not doing it the way that he speaks a right,

230
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: he got more nasily, and you don't do the broken

231
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: voice what he gets very emotional. She was eldly sixteen. Yeah,

232
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: the Yankee bullpen. You were only supposed to blow the

233
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: bloody doors off.

234
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 3: Right then?

235
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: That was the name of his autobiography. For one, It's

236
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: worth wasn't really Oh I didn't know that, Okay, but

237
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,199
Speaker 1: you don't do the broken voice what he gets very emotional.

238
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 3: So he gets loudly.

239
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: Indeed again Dodger's read seven to I will feel better

240
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: if the Reds get knocked out.

241
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, immono, I'm not leaving.

242
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: Here's a Here's a Big Bowl prediction for you for

243
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: the NFL season. Off of Big News Today, Lamar Jackson

244
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: and the Ravens. We talked to Jason Locking for a

245
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: last hour on the show. Facing as big of a

246
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: must win Game five as you could because of what

247
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: they are projected for this year. This is a super

248
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: Bowl or bust year for the Ravens and here they

249
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 1: are one in three. Lamar Jackson is hurt. The Texans

250
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: finally get a win last week against a really, really

251
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: bad team, but the Ravens have said absolutely nothing about

252
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: Jackson's chances to play this weekend against the Texans. Still

253
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: didn't practice because of a hamstring injury, not doing anything at

254
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: practice that you know. I can't believe they got blown

255
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 1: out of Kansas City the way they did, but they did,

256
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 1: and looking back at this, now here he is Lamar

257
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: Jackson and Jason Locking for you know Baltimore Guy Radio

258
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 1: in Baltimore says, look, I don't think he's playing not

259
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: do anything at practice. It's going to be Cooper Rush

260
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks and this is out. This

261
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: is where the season comes down to. And I'll give

262
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: you this Bowl prediction because it's not about Lamar Jackson

263
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 1: getting hurt. It's it's not about that. Is that at

264
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: the end of the season, we're gonna look back and

265
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: say the Raven season ended week one. Sometimes that happens.

266
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: Sometimes it sucks to say that because you.

267
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 3: Want to think after week one.

268
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: But sometimes a team loses a game Week one that

269
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: they never get back from. And it could be it

270
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: could be from the perspective of we're a new team.

271
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: Everything is going our way. Everything we had hoped we're

272
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: going to do in the summer we're getting to do,

273
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: and we blow the game and now we go on

274
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 1: a tailspin, which should be the New York Jets right

275
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: losing that game again, their season ended week one when

276
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: they lost that game with the Steelers and gave the

277
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: game away. When everything was how they looked at things

278
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: wanted to be offensively, and they give the gameway.

279
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 3: Turnovers to the Steelers. Sometimes when you have a.

280
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: Great vision for the season and you supposed to be

281
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: one of the best, and you gack away a game

282
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 1: like that to the Bills, which has been the game

283
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: of the year in the NFL, you got that game away.

284
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: They still haven't come back from that. They still have not.

285
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 1: They had some big plays to beat the Browns, and

286
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: the Browns offense is absolutely Look they went to Dylan

287
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: gabriel Man. That tells you how bad the Browns offense is.

288
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: And still that game was a little bit closer than

289
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: than that forty one to seventeen score was. The Ravens

290
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: still have not recovered from that game. And at the

291
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 1: end of the season when we're talking about John Harbaugh

292
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: getting fired and a new head coach coming in, because

293
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: that's what's gonna happen, because coming into this season to

294
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: fail like this, John Harbaugh is the one common denominator

295
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: all the way through. Can you really go to next

296
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,839
Speaker 1: year and say, now we got it, this year was

297
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: a bad year, Harba, No, John Harbaugh is the guy.

298
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: Because there's gonna have to be some sort of responsibility

299
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 1: laid at someone's feet for the way this season has

300
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 1: gone and the way it's going for the Ravens, They're

301
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: not coming back from this. Lamar Jackson hurt. The next

302
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, they could wind it be one and five,

303
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: one and six before they start winning games again, and

304
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 1: again you're running out of real estate. At the end

305
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: of the season. We're gonna look back and say Week

306
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: one doom the Ravens, and the Ravens are gonna be

307
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: looking for a new head coach because they will have said,

308
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: we got as far as we can with John Harbaugh.

309
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 3: We need a new voice.

310
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 1: We need to do something going on, because there's all

311
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: kinds of different reasons why we could say why we

312
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: haven't gone further in the playoffs, right, Lamar turns the

313
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: ball over, more Mark Andrews drops a pass, we miss

314
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: a kick, All of these things you can say, but

315
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: the one thing for this year, Okay, he's been the

316
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: common denominator and in a year where things were difficult,

317
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: we never got out of it. So we can't change

318
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: these players because Lamar is the MVP. We got great

319
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: guys in here. So it's gonna be a new head

320
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 1: coach and it's gonna be we have to change it

321
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: just because we can't waste any more time. We need

322
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: to try to get to that next level. Yeah, the

323
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: hard part is now that you're you're walking through and

324
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: if you look at their injury list beyond Lamar Jackson,

325
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: Ronnie Stanley, who was fantastic for them a year ago

326
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: and stayed healthy, a big cog in the machine that

327
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: helped Derek can reha the year and Lamar to take

328
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 1: that next step forward protecting blind side and pass pro

329
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: and all that fun stuff. So he put up the

330
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: pinball numbers. But you've got defensively, Meta Bueka is off

331
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: the defensive line, Roquand Smith's gonna miss several weeks, probably

332
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: all the way through that battle against Chicago at the

333
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: end of the month, and then Humphrey's hurt as well.

334
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 3: So you're losing.

335
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: A ton of your starting players on what was supposed

336
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: to be the best roster. Now it's a very compromised roster.

337
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: Just that fast and Derreck Henry the last three weeks

338
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: has looked like just a guy, especially as that offensive

339
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: line continues to crumble. Something Jason lockinfora pointed out as well,

340
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: how trying to mix and match to get to some

341
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: semblance of consistency on the right side has been a

342
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: disaster as well. This week you got Houston your help

343
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: by the fact that they are offensively how should we say, challenged,

344
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: And then the following week, oh no, wait, do you

345
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: got you got the Rams before your bye week?

346
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 3: Good luck? And then a date with the good luck

347
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 3: right and so right now, and a day with the Bears.

348
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 3: Man that the way they're going.

349
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: And the way Caleb Williams that offense is playing man

350
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: look out look. And then after the after the Bears,

351
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: you get a road game at Miami, a road game

352
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: at Minnesota, a road game at Cleveland, and then you're

353
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: in New York Jets come to call. So uh in

354
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: other ways game, you have a four game stretch, and

355
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: then you're back in division with a game at home

356
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: against Cincinnati, who the hell knows who their quarterback is

357
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: by that point. But all of it to say, Harbaugh

358
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: probably avoids the sort of damnacles because they can point

359
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: to the fact that the roster is now so woefully depleted.

360
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: But that week one loss, Yeah, I agree. There's there's

361
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: a lot that you take away from gacking away that

362
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: kind of game in the fourth quarter to your chief rival. Right,

363
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: this wasn't a team that jumped up and bitch you,

364
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: because we see that every year or most years. This

365
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: year we had the first couple of weeks where the

366
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: spread of any quote upset was three or less. But

367
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: every other year you've had that. Wow, I had double digit.

368
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: You know, underdog came up and won a game. Uh,

369
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: this was not it. This was made for TV prime

370
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: time battle of the heavyweights, and you gagged it away

371
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. Couldn't finish on either side. Tell

372
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: him the end of the season. When John Harbaugh's out,

373
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: he walks away. We're gonna say week one they never

374
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: got over Week one? Do he and Mike Tomlin exchange

375
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: hats and just go to the other locker room.

376
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 3: Oh, that's just a trade. That's a trade, ye walk right,

377
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 3: here's my hat. Take.

378
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, they take pictures at midfield, like the players with

379
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: the jerseys when they swap at the end of my

380
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: bad after we keep their rivalry alive and now they

381
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: have to coach the other Mike Tomin hands them the

382
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: puffy coat. Had I like to wear this and big

383
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: playoff games. We haven't had that, and that's why I'm

384
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: that's why I'm over in the new locker room. But

385
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: here's the puffy coat. You also inherit that really giant

386
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 1: sized picture of Heinz Ward running through Heinz Field from

387

437
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 1: Sports Radio, the Jason Smith Show with my best friend

438
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: Mike Harmon. Now, to get to at least eight to

439
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: nine inches, then that's gonna be good. Bottom of the

440
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: seventh inning, Dodgers really trying to break it open against

441
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 1: the Reds first and second, one out, they leaded seven

442
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: to two. Mookie bets up for the Dodgers again, just

443
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: six outs away from the next round of the playoffs.

444
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: But another couple of runs here that might even make

445
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: it bullpen proof for the Dodgers. Like I say, you

446
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: were saying the five run lead, I don't even needed

447
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 1: bolstering the Dodger bullpen there's many more and Mookie Betts

448
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: just doubles down the line and left brings in another run.

449
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: Make it eight to two Dodgers now second and third

450
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: with one out. Yeah, I think even now, let's see

451
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: two innings, six runs, I'd feel better. But if they

452
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: get these two in and it's ten to two, I'll

453
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: feel good because then the Dodgers bullpen can give up

454
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: three runs in the eighth and three runs of the

455
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 1: ninth and still win.

456
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 3: Okay, so then I'll feel Of.

457
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 1: Course, now I'm distracted because they started showing crowd shots

458
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 1: and there was a guy that looked like he might

459
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: have been Harvey Kaitel and a Dodgers shouldn't.

460
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 3: Leave it on the Mets.

461
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: So pitching change going on right now, Terry Francona saying, listen,

462
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 1: I know we got a eight flight back.

463
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 3: It's fine.

464
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: Eight to two Dodgers with the lead over the Reds

465
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: in the bottom of the seventh inning. Meanwhile, the most

466
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 1: bizarre moment of the day in sports comes to us

467
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,040

588
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 1: because I know that's on, right, Who the hell's Molly

589
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 1: Parker from Deadwood?

590
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 3: Now she's on? She's a doctor.

591
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: I know that because I see the promos for that,

592
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: because it's oh, she was a doctor. She lost the

593
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,679
Speaker 1: last like a few years of her life after a

594
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 1: car I remember that commercial apparently would be to tell

595
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: apparently crazy that's in the promo. Now they know that's

596
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 1: in the don't spoil the promo. She's a doctor and

597
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 1: and something. And I've always liked Molly Parkerson since Deadwood, right,

598
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,120
Speaker 1: she was a really good in House of Cards and

599
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: the if I get this, because again I don't watch

600
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 1: network TV, because no show's run Network TV anymore. She's

601
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 1: a doctor, and she's a doctor for a long time

602
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,439
Speaker 1: at this hospital. But she has a car accident and

603
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: she loses eight years of her life, Like for eight years,

604
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: she's like whatever it is, and then she comes out

605
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: of it and eventually gets her job back and ring.

606
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: But apparently all these things that have happened in the

607
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 1: eight years and what happened before the car accident, it's

608
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 1: part of the drama, right. So, And I think Scott

609
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 1: Wolfe was a bad guy in the first year.

610
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 3: I think I think he don't think he's coming back.

611
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 3: I think it was No, I think it was.

612
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,640

00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 1: I'm raising all my brothers and sisters with Matthew Fox,

Speaker 3: They don't say it.

636
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: It's so great that to have them to sit there

637
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: and say, yeah, zero Chants, I'm gonna be watching.

638
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:01,560

641
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: say I mean, I get it was funny, but I

642
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: guarantee you Ben McDonald is going to be having a

643
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: conversation with some big higher up tomorrow going, hey, don't

644
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: do that, man, This is a is a big deal.

645
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 3: This is when their producer got in trouble too, though

646
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 3: I'm sure I'm right.

647
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: Producer got in trouble because they clearly hadn't vetted anything,

648
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: because because if they know Ben McDonald at all, yeah,

649
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: they know, Uh, how.

650
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 3: Should I say this nicely? Hockey's not as strung? No, no, no,

651
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 3: it's it's so you're.

652
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: Going to try to make sure you script that to

653
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 1: be as painless a forty seconds as you possibly can't.

654
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: And now back to hey the batter stepping in?

655
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 3: Okay?

656
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 1: Now, John buci Gross, longtime ESPN hockey guy, the hockey

657
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: Maven Right, he put on his Twitter account he quote

658
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: tweeted that that story and wrote zero was also how

659
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: many postseason innings Ben McDonald pitching his MLB career. It's

660
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: funny because it's true he's shaving Ben McDonald. Now here's

661
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: where this becomes like and I see this and I

662
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: know exactly what's going on because and I could take

663
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: you back to when when I was at NFL Network, right,

664
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: and they first started doing Fantasy Live.

665
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,959
Speaker 3: Hey, where's the old music? Here you go? Thank you?

666
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: And Fantasy Live first started show still on now. I

667
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 1: was there for three years doing Fantasy Live. They always

668
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: tried to integrate other talent to do fantasy stuff. And

669
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: it was and and like Kurt Warner was a guy.

670
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: Now Kurt Warner loves fantasy right this fantasy by Kurt Warner.

671
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 1: Warner's probably getting a check. Has hated fantasy football, didn't I.

672
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: And there were times where if we were doing something

673
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: and I remember we did a Thursday night football game

674
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: where I was doing the the NFL dot com broadcast,

675
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: see me and Michael Fabiano, and we did a fantasy

676
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: hit like of what went on to like it would

677
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: be Kurt Warner and like Jamie Dukes and and I

678
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: think Elliott Harrison whoever else was on the desk and

679
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 1: they would talk about the game. They'd throw it to us.

680
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: We do a fantasy update, bring it back and we

681
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: would talk. We would say, I remember throwing it back

682
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: once and and Kurt Warner saying, hey, you know fantasy. Yeah,

683
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,239
Speaker 1: you know people people ask me about fantasy all the time.

684
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: I want to talk real football. I want to talk

685
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: real football. I'm like, dude, why are you just rating

686
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: on everything we just did right there? Like if fantasy's

687
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:15,959
Speaker 1: not your thing, I get it, right, I get it,

688
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: But why would you do that? And that there was

689
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: a couple of people that work there that just didn't

690
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 1: want to talk. I'm like, Okay, if you don't want

691
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: to talk fantasy, that's cool, but don't sit here and

692
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: make it seem like it's it's not worth my time.

693
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 3: This is not.

694
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: If fantasy is a big deal, it means a lot

695
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 1: to a lot of people. Right, the NHL is a

696
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: big deal. It means a lot to a lot of people.

697
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: So I'm like, if you know, if that's not your thing,

698
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: I get it, but don't go out and embarrass, embarrass

699
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: yourself and embarrassed the sport and embarrass of fans by

700
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: saying that it's done it man and Kurt and I

701
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: think years later he's probably been said by his family members.

702
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: Is maybe his son playing college foot or whatever grabbed

703
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: him around and said, hey, dad, A lot of the

704
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: fans you have, yeah, are because of how good you

705
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: were as a fantasy player. That's how they know who

706
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: you are, right, correct, No, he's a fantastic guess it

707
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: great met him a number of times, like always kind

708
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: with his time and walking you through. But but for

709
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: a lot of those guys, I think once they realized

710
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: how much that was lending to the business overall.

711
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 3: The tune changed.

712
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I remember, I remember all those fights back

713
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: in the day of well, you know fantasy. Well, you

714
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: guys are just a bunch of nurs like yeah, yeah,

716
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: what you're doing, So suck.

Speaker 3: It up and do it.

Speaker 1: I even I had a radio partner twenty years ago,

719
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: one of my first radio partners who hated fantasy. Oh,

720
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: we can't talk about fantasy. It's too hard to talk

721
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: about hated fany to fantasy. Now I just saw a thing.

722

Speaker 1: He's got a fantasy podcast. Of course, a fantasy podcast.

723
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 3: Didn't want to talk about it all. I need podcasts at all.

724
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,760

Speaker 1: Sweet Dodger Bullpen, Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show

778
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 1: with my best friend Mike Harmon top of the eighth inning,

779
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 1: Dodgers lead the Reds to four. They had bases loaded,

780
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 1: nobody out. Hayes with a sacrifice fly that's away the

781
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 1: Dodgers and Emmett Chen comes out of the game mid count.

782
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 1: He almost hit Benson with a pitch and Benson, you

783
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 1: have to lean into that, man. Come on, when you're

784
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: zing too, you got to lean into that. You empty

785
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 1: bas maybe uh and she In comes out of the

786
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: game mid count one two, so one and two one out.

787
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 1: Eighth inning, Dodgers trying to haul. I told you eight too.

788
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 1: I wasn't caught. No feeling if you got to ten.

789
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: I feel okay for the Dodgers, But.

790
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 3: Eight four, one out too one.

791
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: When you have to score ten runs a game to

792
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 1: feel kind of secure, Yeah yeah, yeah, But I mean

793
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: look at this back to back days, the efforts you

794
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 1: got from Blake Snell and then once you got from Yamamoto. Yeah,

795
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 1: and both nights people are getting gray hairs and aging

796
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: a little bit. I mean Dave Roberts, I mean, how

797
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,280
Speaker 1: many an acids is he downed in the last twenty four.

798
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 3: Oh, he's eating tombs out of a candy dish. You

799
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 3: get this ball out?

800
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you gots no no, no, no no no,

801
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 1: that's not of m's.

802
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 3: But that that's is that checks mixed? No no no,

803
00:36:57,719 --> 00:36:59,359
Speaker 3: you just just have one. Just have one.

804
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 1: You'll be fine. So again, here we are Dodgers trying

805
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,280
Speaker 1: to hold on in the eighth inning.

806
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 3: In this series.

807
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:09,800
Speaker 1: They have thrown eighty six pitches, given up five runs,

808
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 1: six walks, and four hits. So the eighth inning for

809
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 1: the Dodgers' bullpen, not great, Bob, not great for those.

810
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 3: Keeping dragging at home.

811
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 1: That's twenty seven pitches already in this one, because they

812
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: had fifty.

813
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 3: Nine a night ago. So we eight.

814
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: We'll have more on this game coming up in a

815
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 1: couple minutes. Again, pitching change going on in LA. But

816
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: tomorrow night TNF we get the Niners in the Rams.

817
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 3: Yay.

818
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:33,359
Speaker 1: I'd love to be able to find a way where

819
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: I can tell you, yeah, this is gonna be a

820
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:39,240
Speaker 1: close game, but likely it's no brock perty no, Ricky

821
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: Piersoll Jennings, no, Juwan Jennings No. Montana Young is out.

822
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:48,240
Speaker 1: Steve Bono is out, John Taylor is out, Brenton Jones

823
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 1: is out.

824
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 3: Is Haley with the Cowboys? Now, I don't remember. Haley

825
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 3: is out?

826
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 1: No, he's out with the Cowboys. They have no pass rusher.

827
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 1: Gary Plummer is out. Yeah, they're all at Merton Hanks

828
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 1: is out. Everybody is out the Ramsten haanks By. The

829
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: Rams are going to smoke the forty nine ers. They're

830
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: gonna be exposed by the better team. The Rams are loaded.

831
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 1: They're stacking wins early party Sea, which is all they

832
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,320
Speaker 1: need to do because they're the best version of themselves

833
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: at the end of the end of the season. But

834
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: this is not just gonna be a Rams win, but

835
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 1: the Rams are gonna win huge. Their passing game is

836
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:26,919
Speaker 1: heating up. You saw what they were like last week.

837
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: Pretty soon, this offense is gonna be absolutely unstoppable and

838
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna be able to run on San Francisco as well.

839
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 1: Because you watched the Jaguars do it last game. This

840
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 1: is gonna be a week where everything the Rams can

841
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:42,399
Speaker 1: do is on display. The Rams win, they cover, they

842
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 1: take would take the over, and tomorrow night we're gonna

843
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,720
Speaker 1: talk about are the Rams the best team in the NFC?

844
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: Remember I have the Rams in the NFC Championship game,

845
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:51,839
Speaker 1: so you know what I'm gonna say. But if this

846
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 1: I'll be the most surprised guy in the world if

847
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 1: this isn't a Rams runaway victory tomorrow at on Tianailly

848
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: Hope you got your bets in early in the week.

849
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 1: Back when this opened, it was the Rams minus one

850
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: and a half, and bit by bit all the information

851
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: coming to light. Mac Jones playing with a depleted roster,

852
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 1: you're looking at Christian McCaffery, who's been more effective as

853
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 1: a receiver. And even then you're not getting the big

854
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: explosive plays. No Pearcel, no Jennings and of course defensively

855
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:26,439
Speaker 1: Bosa out and no George Kittle not coming back just yet.

856
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 1: So it all lines up for one of those games

857
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: for Kyra and Williams and for Blake Korum to have

858
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 1: themselves a day telling.

859
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 3: You, man, this is the Rams are.

860
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 1: Everybody's gonna get to see it tomorrow night, right because

861
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 1: they escaped on Sunday the at Ni Mitchell play. The

862
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 1: Rams have had a really difficult schedule the first four weeks,

863
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 1: and they're sitting at three and one, right, they should

864
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 1: be four and if they could have executed blocking a

865
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 1: field goal, they beat the Eagles there four and oh

866
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 1: and then maybe at the end of the season, that

867
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 1: NFC Championship game is in LA and not in Philadelpia.

868
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,120
Speaker 1: And if Mitchell doesn't drop the ball going in, we

869
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:03,280
Speaker 1: don't have that plays you want to talk about changing

870
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 1: a game, it's not just that play, right, it's seven points,

871
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 1: but that is that might as well be twenty one.

872
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 1: But they're not one in four, which is what normally

873
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: the Rams are, and they're usually hurt and wishing and

874
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 1: hoping that they they're coming back into play, like right now.

875
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:23,240
Speaker 3: The division is there to create distance, just stack wins,

876
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:25,320
Speaker 3: and that's what's going to happen tomorrow night. Rams.

877
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 1: They cover the over. What's the spread? The spread was

878
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 1: one and a half. I thought you're gonna say, like

879
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 1: it's a twenty U No, no, no, no, this is

880
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 1: not you know, pick one of your lesser than.

881
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 3: Teams even still have some fight.

882
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 1: I take one of those super teas games for the

883
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: for the what I gotta do. I gotta give twenty. Yeah,

884
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 1: I'll tell all the way there. It's out to eight

885
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: and a half in a couple of books. We got

886
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: more NFL on the way. But coming up next, what

887
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: baseball team feels the best after tonight?

888
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 3: That's Fox
