The blessing is 15 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 3: that when something happens on a Friday night into the 16 00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 3: weekend and we're not on the radio, the blessing is 17 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 3: we can come in here and talk about it. It's 18 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 3: also a curse because we. 19 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: Can come in here and talk about it. 20 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 3: But yeah, we're I think we're gonna just talk about 21 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 3: what happened last night at Dodgers Stadium as the Dodgers win, 22 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 3: the Pennant Dodgers win the pennant, they win the National 23 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 3: League pennant, and so this is the unofficial post post 24 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 3: post post look back last night in the League Championship 25 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 3: Series of the Dodgers beat the Milwaukee Brewers and are 26 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,479 Speaker 3: going back to the World Series yet again, to take 27 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 3: on either Toronto or Seattle. At this point, you'd say 28 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 3: Seattle because they're one went away. But that'll be the matchup. 29 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 3: And if it is Seattle, Danny, everyone will be complaining 30 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 3: on the Eastern seaboard. Oh it's two West Coast teams. 31 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 3: Who cares about that? But we'll worry about that when 32 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 3: we get to the World Series. 33 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: But man, what a night. 34 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 3: Let's start with that the show. Hey Otani, game, plain 35 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 3: and simple. It's a shame that happened on Friday night 36 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 3: because it goes into a football weekend. But the Milwaukee Brewers, 37 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 3: I mean, my god, I mean's they got knocked out 38 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 3: in the first round. Otani hits the home run to 39 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 3: begin the game, ends up with three home runs, two 40 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 3: hit ball he pitched into the seventh inning, the first 41 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 3: leadoff homer by a pitcher in postseason history. Of course, 42 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 3: how many pitchers have batted leadoffs, So it's kind of 43 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 3: one of those weird things. But he was at one 44 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 3: man wrecking crew and it was it was an all 45 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 3: time game. I think the jumping off point here was 46 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 3: what Brian Anderson on Turner said. He said, it was 47 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 3: the greatest performance in Major League Baseball history. 48 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,239 Speaker 1: Who's a Brewers broadcaster, Brian Anderson. 49 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 3: He works for the Brewers during the season, but he 50 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 3: does the Turner for the playoffs and all that. 51 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 4: I didn't know he was a Brewers guy. I was 52 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 4: going to say, I thought he did a good job 53 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 4: during the series. 54 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he's he does Milwaukee Brewers TV during the 55 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 3: during the season. 56 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: But but that line, now, you know. 57 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 3: Ron Darling also on the Turner broadcast last night, I 58 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 3: was like, yeah, this is the greatest thing I've ever seen, 59 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 3: and like the only nitpick thing I have on that 60 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 3: and listen, it was an amazing performance by Altani. But 61 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 3: it was the league championship series and it wasn't an 62 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 3: elimination game. It wasn't Game seven of the World Series 63 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 3: anything like that. So I do think context matters on that. 64 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 3: You know, It's like if you drop a fifty burger 65 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,519 Speaker 3: in the Eastern Conference Finals, it's not the NBA Finals. 66 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: You know what I mean, So that does mean something. 67 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, although the Brewers had the best record in all 68 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 4: of baseball, nobody, including US Dodger Homer's expected a sweep. 69 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 4: I think any Dodger your fan would be lying if 70 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 4: they said today, oh I thought we were going to 71 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 4: sweep them. No, none of us. I mean, I hear 72 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 4: what you're saying. But the stage it was on. I mean, 73 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 4: it's not Otani's fault that the Brewers were not hitting 74 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 4: the baseball, Well, it kind of was his fault during 75 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 4: its bitch performance. 76 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, it was amazing. 77 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 3: I mean the way the Brewers played and really the 78 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 3: the end of the Cup series. To remember those games 79 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 3: in Chicago, they were not competitive in the games at 80 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 3: Wrigley Field, they really got smashed, and then they came 81 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 3: back and they won and then they go to the 82 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 3: play the Dodgers. But it was like watching the way 83 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 3: the Brewers were playing here at the end, it was like, 84 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 3: if you're old on us, remember when Mike Tyson would 85 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 3: fight some tomato can on a Tuesday in Atlantic City, 86 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 3: you know, before he became you know, Mike, the big 87 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 3: Mike Tyson. But the Brewers, Yeah, you're right, they had 88 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 3: the best record in baseball. That's true, but the way 89 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:40,039 Speaker 3: they were playing recently, like traffic cones, and you know, 90 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 3: it didn't even look fair. The Dodgers starting pitching versus 91 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 3: the Brewer it was like the adults versus children, and 92 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 3: I was very critical. I got a lot of crap. 93 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 3: I'm still getting crap for my Kershaw monolog. By the way, 94 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 3: Kershaw did not do anything in the league Championship series 95 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 3: because he wasn't there as far as playing, so I 96 00:04:59,080 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 3: was right. 97 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 4: Viewed him after the game. 98 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: I know, I know why they do. 99 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 3: Remember also, by the way, Pedro Martinez was trying to 100 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 3: poke the Dodger fan be very worried about the Brewers. 101 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: Remember he sent that. 102 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 4: Comment on us. 103 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I guess we were supposed to forget about 104 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 3: that because the Brewers didn't show up. But uh, this 105 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 3: was highlight reel versus practice state, right, like Otani was 106 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 3: toying with him and the fact that he wins the MVP. 107 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 3: Remember the story a couple of days ago, Danny was, 108 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 3: you know, Oti's got to take extra batting practice. What's 109 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 3: wrong with him? He's not a primetime playoff player. You 110 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 3: looked at his numbers and he was he didn't play 111 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 3: well in the World Series last year. You looked at 112 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 3: his postseason numbers, You're like, well, this is not good 113 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 3: at all, Like this is this is just gonna be 114 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 3: another guy that doesn't perform well in the playoffs and 115 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 3: then this happens, and no one's going to remember any 116 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 3: of that. No one's going to remember Otani taking extra 117 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 3: batting practice something he normally doesn't do, because that performance 118 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 3: is a myth making performance. 119 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: That was Babe ruth in HD is what that. 120 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 4: Man'? You and I we've both seen. I don't know 121 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 4: if you've seen it in person because it's only happened 122 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 4: a handful of times, and there's plaques out there. In fact, 123 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 4: it happened. Oh it was Schwarbs. He hit one where 124 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 4: they put a plaque out there. I don't know about you, 125 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 4: but I've never seen somebody hit the ball out of 126 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 4: Dodger Stadium in that part of the park. 127 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 1: Well, I've never seen it. Well, I'm trying to. 128 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 3: I think I might have seen it in a game 129 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:30,840 Speaker 3: when the steroid days. 130 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 1: I'm trying to. 131 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 4: I was going to say, I've seen a player pull 132 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 4: up baseball. 133 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: You know what's amazing. 134 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 3: When I was doing Dodger Talk in the nineties. They 135 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 3: had two players that was during batting practice, Danny Mike 136 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 3: Piazza and a guy named Billy Ashley, who both on 137 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 3: at least once every home stand would hit at least 138 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 3: one ball out of over the pavilion at Dodger Stam. 139 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 3: So I did see it behind the bat again, but 140 00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 3: I never I almost say never in the game. I 141 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,239 Speaker 3: think I saw one time and I don't even remember 142 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 3: who hit it. But the other thing is Babe Ruth, 143 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 3: I said, you know, Babe Ruth in HD. Babe Ruth 144 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 3: never played in the league championship series. You know that Danny, 145 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 3: he never played in the because there was no league championships. 146 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, I saw a stat last night during the 147 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 4: game that said he never hit a home run while 148 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 4: he was also pitching a game. Oh okay in the postseason. 149 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. 150 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 3: I mean it's like, what is the greatest people talk 151 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 3: about the Reggie Jackson was at three home runs three 152 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 3: pitches for the that was in the World Series against 153 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 3: the Dodgers. The greatest pitching performance in my lighte Tom, 154 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 3: I hate to say it, but Madison Bumgardner for the Giants, 155 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 3: and uh, I think it was game seven. Remember that 156 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 3: was that was insane white thing flying at my face. Well, oh, Toni, 157 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 3: this is the League Championship Series and it's not nothing, 158 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 3: but the Dodgers gonna be in the World Series. If 159 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 3: he does that in the World Series, then oh my god. 160 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 3: But it's you know, it's a. 161 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 4: It was a nice wake up call I had to endure. 162 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 4: First Steve Covino from Covino and Rich. He was piling 163 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 4: on Otani this past week because he's an Aaron Judge fan. 164 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 4: He's a big Yankees honk, and so is Rob Parker. 165 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 4: So I was sandwiched in between Steve Covino talking mess 166 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 4: about Otani's postseason into Rob Parker, who's been screaming anti 167 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 4: Otanni stats for the past two weeks on the network, 168 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 4: and it was it was great Ben. After Otani hit 169 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 4: that four hundred and sixty nine foot moonshot, I texted 170 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 4: Rob and I said thank you for waking Otani up, 171 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 4: and he sent a laughing of moji back. Rob Parker. 172 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 4: I know he's happy he's not on the air. This 173 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 4: is what he tweeted. Don't be a prisoner of the moment. 174 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 4: Amazing game by Otani, for sure, but he was hitting 175 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 4: one fifty in postseason with a ton of strike before tonight. 176 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 4: Real assessment. Otani is a unicorn, but not the goat. 177 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 4: Totally premature. So you know, you know Ben Rob's famous 178 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 4: for after a team loses a series or a big game, 179 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 4: he'll tweet that it's so quiet in that city you 180 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 4: can hear a mouse urinating on fill in the blank. 181 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. 182 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, that was the first to comment, and I said, 183 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 4: love your Rob, but it's so quiet right now in 184 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 4: your mansion that you can hear a mouse urinating on 185 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 4: your o Tani postseason notes. 186 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's that's sick. 187 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 3: That home run, the four hundred and sixty nine foot 188 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 3: as you said, home run, that was like, did they 189 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 3: check with did that go through TSA? Did that get cleared? 190 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 3: I don't know if that was allowed in the airport. 191 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 3: My god, but it's the Brewers. It was like they 192 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,439 Speaker 3: were made out of blue and yellow. Play though in 193 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 3: this league championship and they DoD just starting pitching, and hey, 194 00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 3: if your bullpen blows, just have your starting pitching dominate 195 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 3: the way the Dodgers did. And they molded, shape, squeezed, 196 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 3: and just mutilated the line up there and you've got 197 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 3: the pigeon. You've got the statue and the Dodgers my god. 198 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,439 Speaker 3: Uh and this is why everyone else hates the Dodgers 199 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 3: and all that. But for now, yeah, this is the 200 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 3: show hail tany game, and you know, the curtain is up. 201 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: The curtains down, the Brewers are done. 202 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 3: And I because it's the league championship series, I put 203 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 3: a little bit of a caveat on that. It was ridiculous. 204 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 3: It was awe inspire. It's one of those things ten 205 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 3: years from now, do you remember when Otani hit three 206 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 3: home runs and pitched into the seventh inning of the 207 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 3: of the game and all that stuff. So the Dodgers, 208 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 3: what is it twenty sixth pennet? 209 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: Is that right? I think the twenty six penny. 210 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,439 Speaker 4: Check this out. You were talking about the starting pitching 211 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 4: the Dodgers starters era for the series point six y three. 212 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was crazy. 213 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 3: They allowed two earned runs in twenty eight and two 214 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 3: thirds innings and had thirty five. And the thing that 215 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 3: made the Brewers great was that they were pesky, they 216 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 3: were opportunistic, they were disciplined, they played smart baseball. All 217 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 3: of that went out the window in this series and 218 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 3: the Dodgers, the thing is frustrating about the Dodgers is 219 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 3: they were supposed to play like this during the regular season. 220 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,559 Speaker 1: They really didn't. They were underachieving during the regular season, and. 221 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 4: Those of us who watched the entire season, it was stressful. 222 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 4: It was a long, stressful season. 223 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, they were bad and I got crap for 224 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 3: ripping them, but they deserve to be ripped. We do 225 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 3: a daily talk show and we talk about it. That's 226 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,199 Speaker 3: the job description. We react in real time as like 227 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 3: all these people send them hemil Well, I told you so. 228 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: You should have just waited to the playoffs, Danny. 229 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,839 Speaker 3: Can you check with our bosses at Fox and can 230 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 3: you see if they'll allow us to wait to do 231 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,479 Speaker 3: a talk show and give an opinion until after the playoffs. 232 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 3: Can you check and see if that's okay, because I'm 233 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 3: pretty sure that's not the job description that we have here. 234 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure it's a daily job where you go 235 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 3: in there and it's like it's like in sports, you 236 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 3: read and react. You read what the defense is doing, 237 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 3: you react to it. Well, in our job, you read 238 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 3: what's going on in sports that day and you react 239 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 3: to it. And just because the Dodgers apparently decided a 240 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 3: sandbag during the regular season. Congrat this is now two 241 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 3: years in a row, Danny, two years in a row 242 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 3: they did the same. 243 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: Bull crap, No lie, no bs. 244 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 3: Remember how torn up weather beating the Dodger pitching staff 245 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 3: was last season. And then they got the out of 246 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 3: body experienced by Walker Buller, who went back turned back 247 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 3: into a pumpkin this year for the Red Sox and 248 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 3: was with the Phillies. But my god, now on the 249 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 3: other side for the Brewers. How depressing if you're in Wisconsin. 250 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 3: An absolute no show in the NLCS. And this was 251 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 3: not just a series. It wasn't It was a failure theater. 252 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 3: It was like the Brewers with his traveling Broadway production 253 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 3: how not to hit a baseball? 254 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 4: I mean, my god, as you would say, this was 255 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 4: a rat kill. 256 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 3: Yes, they made history, and not the good kind of history. 257 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 3: For Games four and the Brewers managed fourteen inch. The 258 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 3: Dodgers scored more runs fifteen than the Brewers had hits 259 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 3: in the Nationally Championship Series. The Brewers batted one oh 260 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 3: eight in the NLCS. I am told that is a 261 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 3: Major League record for offensive futility. This was not just cold. 262 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 3: This was rob Parker visiting Antarctica cold. 263 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: This is what this was. This this is not a slump. 264 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 3: This is like Ted Williams head in a cryogenics chamber somewhere. 265 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 3: And the kicker, you know, the Dodgers treating Milwaukee like 266 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 3: a chew toy, like a dog, my dog, Moxie. 267 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: Would treat a chew toy. 268 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 3: And you mentioned the starting pitching and all that, how 269 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 3: dominant they were was at zero point sixty three as 270 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 3: though you said, Danny. 271 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 4: Do Yeah, yep, there's more to that stat really quick 272 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 4: here right. It says Dodger starters twenty eight and two 273 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 4: third innings, two runs allowed, nine hits thirty five case. 274 00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: Wow, it's insane. 275 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 4: These are like, yeah, those are like video game stats. 276 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's like a major league baseball team playing 277 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 3: freshman high school baseball team, is what that is. That's 278 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 3: it's insane. I go back to what I said about 279 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 3: the Brewers just to finish up that point. Watching the 280 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 3: Brewers play and I got the you know, I got 281 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 3: the games, all the games during the season. I'm some 282 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 3: of the bets on some games from now and then 283 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 3: now and again, and I'll flip around and I'll watch 284 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 3: certain teams, and I'll watched the Brewers a lot because 285 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 3: they were on normally when I was settling in to 286 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 3: start preparing for the overnight show. The games would start 287 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 3: about five o'clock, and you know, it's around prep time 288 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 3: for me to start getting ready for the show. And 289 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 3: so the Brewers, I do believe, you know, Danny, I'm 290 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 3: a multiverse guy. Believe there's multiple dimensions in the multiverse. 291 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 3: So there is a dimension where in Game one, the 292 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 3: turning point was that Bryce Terrain at bat in the 293 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 3: ninth inning, tying run at third, bases loaded, and he 294 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 3: decides to pogo stick out of the ray rather than 295 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 3: get hit by a pitch. Would have tied the game 296 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 3: and the crowds going wild. The Brewers would have been tied. 297 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 3: They would have had the Dodger bullpen, the much ballyhooed 298 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 3: in a bad way Dodger bullpen. 299 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: But he jumped out of the way. He then swung 300 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: in a pitch. 301 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 4: A couple of weekends ago, you and I were on 302 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 4: this very podcast with our worries about the bullpen. But 303 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 4: how do you avoid that problem? 304 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, they use it, but if you have six 305 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 3: plus innings of good starting pitching, chances are you going 306 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 3: to have the lead in every game, and when you 307 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 3: have the lead, that puts the pressure on the other team. 308 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 3: But the Brewers just awkward check swings, just just a mess, 309 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 3: and the thing is crazy. Here's another fun fact. You 310 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 3: want a fun fact here, The Brewers have never never 311 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 3: had a four game stretch in the entire franchise history 312 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 3: with fewer hits, Not in the regular season, not in 313 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 3: the playoffs, not when they were an expansion team, not ever, 314 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 3: not when we were Seattle pilots. And you know, you 315 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 3: can dress this up and people are gonna say, well, 316 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 3: it's the Dodgers, they are a juggernaut, but we talked 317 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 3: about Danny. 318 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: They hadn't been a juggernaut this year. 319 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 3: But the Brewers hit one O eight if my math 320 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 3: is right here, my malor math one eight in the 321 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 3: National League Championship Series. 322 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 4: Wow, that doesn't even sound real. 323 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 3: And that the one highlight was Game one where they 324 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 3: had a chance and Bryce terrang, as we said, not 325 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 3: getting hit by the pitching Game one. 326 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: That was the big moment. 327 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, Dave Parker is rolling in his grave over that play. 328 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 3: Former guests, by the way, on this podcast, the Great 329 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 3: Dave Parker. Yeah, and again I understand the narrative people have, 330 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 3: the small market team, you Cinderella run. It was a 331 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 3: good season for the Brewers and all that, but the 332 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 3: way they had played and they dominated the Dodgers during 333 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 3: the regular season, all that, and the Dodgers just twisted 334 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 3: them into a soft pretzel and made them into a 335 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 3: paper airplane, whatever analogy you want to use on that. 336 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 3: And it's wild that a Brewers team that had been 337 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 3: that good. And I like Pat Murphy. I think he's 338 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 3: a good dude. 339 00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: It seems like the kind of guy want of a 340 00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 1: beer with the Brewers. 341 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 4: It's funny too in his press conferences. 342 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, the Brewers just didn't belong on the 343 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,199 Speaker 3: same field with the Dodgers. And it was it was 344 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 3: a sweet but it was like it didn't seem other 345 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,639 Speaker 3: than Game one. It didn't really get that dramatic. It 346 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 3: was really clinical. I felt like, I mean, it's like 347 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,880 Speaker 3: the Brewers. Now all my friends from Chicago Danny are saying, hey, 348 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,679 Speaker 3: you jinxed yourself because when the Brewers beat the Cubs, 349 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 3: they held up an L flag just mock the Cubs, 350 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 3: and it's like, now, you Brewer guys are going to 351 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 3: need an exorcism because you couldn't hit because you've you've 352 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,159 Speaker 3: messed with the cub and so there you got your 353 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 3: own curse. Congratulations there and that's it. Now turn the 354 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,919 Speaker 3: page on it. I didn't want to mention this. The 355 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 3: Dodgers won a lot the last couple of years, actually 356 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 3: the last ten years, they won a lot, and so 357 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,640 Speaker 3: they punched their ticket to the Fall Classic. 358 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: And then we get the postgame celebration. 359 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 3: And I use that term loosely, Danny, because it's basically 360 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 3: a corporate commercial, now. 361 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:02,120 Speaker 4: Is it not? Kind of yeah, it's the sing did 362 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 4: like seeing Key k Hernandi is singing though, but it's 363 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 4: like the. 364 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,959 Speaker 3: Same damn thing every time. It's cookie cutter. It's on field. 365 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 3: You got a hug fest, right, a little bit of 366 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 3: a dog pile, maybe a little champagne at some point 367 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:20,439 Speaker 3: here cameras. You get the pre printed MLB caps and 368 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 3: shirts right with the logo. 369 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 4: You got that. The coach and the front office talking 370 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 4: head they all keep saying how we have the best 371 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 4: fans in all of basebook because they want to get 372 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 4: more cheers out of the crowd. 373 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 1: That's a little sort of thing. The sorta was famous 374 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: back in the day for that. 375 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 3: But they have a it's like they're staging a catalog 376 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 3: shoot for postgame merch though after the game, and you're right, 377 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 3: and then they've got the thing that's really been popular 378 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 3: the last few years has been right in front of 379 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 3: the mound, the team does the posed class photo with 380 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 3: the sport in the background. It's like senior photo shoot, 381 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 3: except there's more bubbly guys with their shirts off. Although 382 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,360 Speaker 3: I look at the Dodger looked like they all had 383 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,400 Speaker 3: their merch their playoff merch on looked like they had 384 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 3: all that. So then you watch this, then they do 385 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 3: the trophy. After they do the photo on the field, 386 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,880 Speaker 3: they then do, as you said, the trophy presentation. They've 387 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 3: got the portable stage. Somebody from the league there speaks, uh, 388 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 3: you know, it's like high school graduation. At this point 389 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,919 Speaker 3: you mentioned, the manager comes up there kind of fake humble. Uh. 390 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 1: You know, we love the fans. We couldn't do this 391 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:28,879 Speaker 1: without you. This is a special group. 392 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,199 Speaker 3: You know. The players yell in the background, you know, 393 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:35,399 Speaker 3: and you can practically hear the producer of the TV 394 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 3: broadcast saying, okay, Q, the Gatorage shower boys. You know, 395 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 3: let's get the or the champagne shower, and uh, they 396 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 3: nobody believed in us, which is always fun, but it's 397 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 3: just not organic. It's not It's like HG TV when 398 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 3: I when I watched Love It or list It. There's 399 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 3: a format to it, you know, it's like celebrate. 400 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 4: But the Dodgers version of nobody believed in usay is, yeah, 401 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 4: we have a lot of stars on the team, but 402 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 4: these stars come out and are on their knees taking 403 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 4: ground balls and practicing when the other team stars aren't 404 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 4: out here. So even though we have stars, they're working 405 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 4: hard for you fans. 406 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, very hard, so we can gouge you when 407 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 3: you come to our ballpark. 408 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: But that was it. It's formatted as. 409 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 4: That makes sense. So now I know why they charged 410 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 4: me one thousand dollars the last time I went to 411 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 4: a game. 412 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly. 413 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 3: So it's again the steps are if I have this right, 414 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 3: I jotted this down on my little note thing on 415 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 3: my phone.

And he 454 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:37,919 Speaker 3: scored the go ahead run because who was it? Canzone 455 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,360 Speaker 3: should have been able to throw him out, and the outfield, 456 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 3: the rightfuelder for the Mariners, with one of the worst 457 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 3: throws ever, allowed the slowest guy you could possibly be, 458 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 3: this guy Kirk to score. So that made it two 459 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 3: to one, and then as you said, in the eighth inning, 460 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 3: Seattle ends up scoring, they tie the game, and then 461 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 3: they get the Grand Slam. 462 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:57,719 Speaker 1: To win it. 463 00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 3: So now they have to win one out of the 464 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 3: next two and three Toronto and then we'll get an 465 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:05,919 Speaker 3: All West Coast All West Coast World Series between the 466 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 3: Mariners and the Dodgers, And the Dodgers would have home 467 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:11,359 Speaker 3: field advantage, would they not? 468 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:12,120 Speaker 1: I believe they would. 469 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:13,880 Speaker 4: They would. Yeah, yeah, they'd. 470 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 3: Have home field advantage in the World Series, which is 471 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:20,400 Speaker 3: crazy considering they were a wild card team and all that. 472 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 3: And as John Sterling would say, that's baseball, Susan.

Even 502 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 3: though the Dodgers didn't win the World Series on Friday 503 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 3: Night and all that stuff, but the team with the 504 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 3: deepest pockets outside of the Yankees, the Dodgers just steamrolled 505 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 3: these small market Milwaukee Brewers in the NLCS like it 506 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 3: was I don't know se batting practice, but it was. 507 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 3: It was because they didn't score as many runs, they 508 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,400 Speaker 3: could have scored more runs and all that. But the 509 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 3: domination on the mount of Chevezervine and the person or 510 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 3: the group of people I mean, clarify, the group of 511 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 3: people that are gonna love this more than anything Danny, 512 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 3: you know who it is.

Look at what they're gonna say. 518 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 3: This is why we need a heart This is why 519 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,920 Speaker 3: we need restrictor plate racing. This is why we got 520 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 3: to protect our little Milwaukee Brewers, who you know, they 521 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 3: had a great record and in the playoffs all these 522 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 3: you know they can't breathe.

Did you hear 542 00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 4: any Dodgers in there? Yeah? 543 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 3: Well, the problem Danny not to be be the guy 544 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,919 Speaker 3: that reigns on the parade and then be the guy 545 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 3: that reigns on the parade, is that they're gonna be 546 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 3: paying We'll be like eighty years old, if we're if 547 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 3: we're still alive, they'll be paying Otani, Uh, you know, 548 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:14,439 Speaker 3: seventy million dollars. 549 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 4: Sure, it's gonna be a bonea situation. 550 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,880 Speaker 3: But the thing, like my theory is that these guys 551 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 3: are just gonna sell the team once those they have 552 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 3: to once they have to start paying those contracts out 553 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 3: because they're gonna be paying Mookie Betts and Otani like 554 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 3: all these guy Yamamoto. 555 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:29,160 Speaker 1: They're all getting deferred money. 556 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,160 Speaker 3: Uh, and I just think they're the ownership group's gonna 557 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,120 Speaker 3: sell by then, and then it's gonna become ugly. But hey, 558 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 3: we'll be old to who cares. Just enjoy it right now? Right, well, 559 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 3: don't worry about that, ain't that ain't our problem. Now 560 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,880 Speaker 3: that's somebody else's problem. But but this is a team 561 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 3: that's gonna be the argument. The argument is gonna be, well, 562 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 3: they Dodgers defer all this money. We got to stop 563 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 3: deferred payments, you know, we got to put a cap 564 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 3: on that. 565 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: And and so. 566 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 3: I like the fact that Dodgers are leaning into it. 567 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 3: And then Roberts also quoted Kobe, right, he said the 568 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 3: job's not done yet. That was a Kobe quote that 569 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 3: he used. But I'm telling you, the other owners are 570 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 3: gonna weaponize this thing. And the owners are gonna use 571 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,959 Speaker 3: this and they're gonna gonna they're gonna cry for fan support, 572 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 3: and they're gonna get fans support because fans will be like, 573 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 3: that's not fair, it's not running, you know, the whole thing. 574 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 3: They're gonna they're gonna march in what is it, twenty 575 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:16,719 Speaker 3: end of twenty twenty six season. I think it is. 576 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,640 Speaker 4: They're gonna have that, and it's already started on social media. 577 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 4: With every Dodger w that noise just gets louder. 578 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, they'll have power points showing the Dodger payroll and 579 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,120 Speaker 3: the Brewers payroll and how they're able to manipulate it, 580 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 3: and they it's a cheat code and they've got to 581 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 3: stop it. 582 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:34,120 Speaker 1: And they'll they'll say. 583 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 4: Super Momoto makes more than the entire bros pitching stuff. 584 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 4: This is what. 585 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 3: Happens when you be allowed a team to to you know, 586 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 3: you've got we've got a problem. We've got to fix 587 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 3: the rule, you know, and you got a team that 588 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 3: prints money, and then you got a team that has 589 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:48,959 Speaker 3: to sell brought worse just to keep the lights on. 590 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 3: You know, Milwaukee and UH and not are obviously fine 591 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 3: with it. What they're doing is working. They'll take the 592 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 3: villain role. I'm fine with that. I have said many 593 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 3: times when I did Dodger Talk, they never wore any 594 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 3: good like this. 595 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 1: I mean, they made the. 596 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 3: Playoffs a couple of times, but they when I was 597 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 3: doing the postgame show for the Dodgers, they were pretty mediocre, 598 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 3: and I rant I used to complain and I would say, 599 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 3: why can't the Dodgers be like the Steinbrenner Yankees. Why 600 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 3: can't they be like the Yeah, Yankees get every good 601 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 3: player and here we are, and you know, took thirty years, 602 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 3: but the Dodgers have become like the Yankees. 603 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 1: You know, they got more money than Fort Knox. 604 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 3: Of course, the difference is the Dodgers they're getting their 605 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 3: money from Japan, right, this is a Japanese money that 606 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 3: they're getting to go Tani and Yamamoto, and they're the 607 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 3: most popular team in Japan. 608 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 1: They're really. 609 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,479 Speaker 4: All you have to do is look no further than 610 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 4: the New York Mets. Look at that payroll, Look at 611 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 4: the players they got, and they didn't even make the playoffs. 612 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 4: Oh no, there's no direct correlation. Yeah, the money doesn't 613 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,960 Speaker 4: guarantee squat, but if you do have a high payroll, 614 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 4: it doesn't guarantee anything. 615 00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 3: No. When I again, I go back to when I 616 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 3: was around the Dodgers and they had Kevin Brown was 617 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 3: the highest one of the highest paid pitchers. They had 618 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 3: Gary Sheffield was a big star in that time, and 619 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 3: those guys did not perform. It. It's like all that 620 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 3: matters is how you perform. 621 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 1: In the moment. 622 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 3: So one of my my sticking points I bring up 623 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 3: a lot there and so again it's like, this is great, 624 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 3: and the Dodgers are off to the World Series.
