Speaker 1: there will be a lot of content about Bunting tonight,

20
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: because yeah, you nothing boils my blood about, but you

21
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: know I feel about bunting and I just watched The

22
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: Red Sox give game to a way to the Yankees,

23
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: partly because oh no, no, we're gonna try to bunt.

24
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: We have first and second. Nobody at that's bunt base

25
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: running and the inability to go back to the hallmark

26
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: of my eighties and early nineties wrestling, the excellence of

27
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: execution fail.

28
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 3: Uh.

29
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: We'll get to that game in a second, but quick

30
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,559
Speaker 1: update from Chavez Ravine. Right now, middle of the fourth inning. Again,

31
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: this game, like last night, this game is flying. Wait

32
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: for it. Reds lead the Dodgers two to one right now,

33
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: middle of the fourth. The Reds have the lead mainly

34
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: because ti Oscar Hernandez dropped an easy pop up in

35
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: right feel that led to two runs by the Reds

36
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: as they put two up in the top of the

37
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: first inning, which is the exact start the Reds needed

38
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: coming off of last night. The Dodgers just bludgeting them

39
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: into submission. Hey, they hit the bullpen late. Can we

40
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: keep it going here? They get two runs off the

41
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: top and Hernandez it's a ball that he should have caught.

42
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 1: It's a ball that he was standing on both feet for.

43
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: This was not something that was really hard. It's not

44
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: something that was he had to dive for it.

45
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 3: Duran.

46
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: This was something that he needed to make a play on,

47
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: and he just dropped. Arnold Schwarzenegger's character was called the

48
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: Butcher a Baker's field in total in Running Man, people

49
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: they just want to eat down. Now get let them

50
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: get food. This eliminate everyone. No, the Butcher might be

51
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: well applied here to what Taoscar Hernandez did, because he

52
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: also then caused an extra ten pitches in that inning

53
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: for Yamamoto, which, as we know, hastens the arrival of

54
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 1: the bullpen. You don't want the Yeah, you don't want

55
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: the bullpen arriving at all. You want you eighting was over?

56
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: You want to done. We want to push that arrival

57
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: of the bullpen as far off as you can. Can

58
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: I get it to not happen tonight? Probably not? Can

59
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: I delay it longer? Well, now that's something we can

60
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: talk about.

61
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 3: You know.

62
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: That's the holidays are rapidly approaching. That is, you're you're

63
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: tracking family members that you may or may not want

64
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: at the dinner table and around your house. Oh they're

65
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: gonna be delayed. That's too bad. Uh, that's that's it.

66
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: That's what you want for the bullpen stale delay this

67
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: all right, gret Now, but here's the thing, right, and

68
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: I get it, and Taskarnandez is the top of social

69
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: media trending. I understand. But here's the thing is that

70
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: I get that people are upset Dodger fans, but I

71
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: shrugged my shoulder. I give you, what are you gonna do? No,

72
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: that's it. The guy has to play somewhere. His bat stays.

73
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: He's a middle of the order guy. He's been great

74
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: for these about a great career. He's RBI yesterday, he's

75
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: awful in the field. Show Halo Tani's your designated hitter.

76
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: He's gotta play somewhere. This is not college softball where

77
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: he can have a DP and someone can play and

78
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: just hit and Sid can't have that. Man can't have it. Now,

79
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,040
Speaker 1: I mean the Dodgers might want to push her that

80
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: with Toddy Well, I mean, look, we're making a lot

81
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: of rule changes in Major League Baseball. Can I play

82
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: with eight fielders in seven and I have two? You

83
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: think the Dodgers will be better off playing with one

84
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: lesson the yes or with Hernandez actually in the field

85
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: one fewer. Okay, all right, Now we have to get

86
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: around those pesky shift rules in terms of how we

87
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: position our infield. But I think we can figure that out. Well,

88
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: that's that story. That's a that's a story for another day.

89
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: That's it. But I mean, really, I mean, what else

90
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: do you want? Like, oh, her Nandi is what is

91
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: he doing in the field? Because he hits well, the

92
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: Dodgers radio broadcast started going at him. Why is he

93
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: two runs gifted? And he's gotta play? I mean, he's

94
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: gotta play somewhere? Well, where else do you want him

95
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 1: to play? Can't play first base? That's Freddie Freeman. You

96
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: want to play left field? Okay, it's still in the outfilla.

97
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 2: Still.

98
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 1: You can only hide him so much. But that's there.

99
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: But this is the thing about the Dodgers is that

100
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: and this gets into a bigger conference. It's not just

101
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: about toausk carnandas, but this is a Dodger team that

102
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: is going to try to win the World Series. And

103
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: they are awful defensively right because they've decided we're moving

104
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: Mookie Betts, who was a goal glove right field or

105
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: into the infield. They've still never replaced because I'm sure

106
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: they thought their succession plan was Okay, well, we have

107
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: our shortstop and Corey Seegers our guy. Looks like we're

108
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: not going to pay for him. They make the trade

109
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: for trade Turner. He's gonna be our guy. Nope, Nope,

110
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 1: they don't have either of them, so they move Mookie Bets.

111
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: Mookie Betts who is not great at shortstop. He's a

112
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: goal glove in the outfield. So now you're taking a

113
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: guy who is a goal glove in the outfield, moving

114
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 1: to shortstop where he's not nearly as strong as some

115
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: other guys, and you're replacing him with a guy who

116
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: really can't field at all. So understand that you got

117
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: to get you know, there's give and take here. This

118
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: is not just well, I mean, the Dodgers have decided

119
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 1: we are going through it with a defense that is

120
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: really subpar, and there's many players you can hit the

121
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: ball to, and hey, I'll take my chances, you know,

122
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: because Max Muncy is not as mobile as you'd like

123
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: to be at third base, and that left side of

124
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: the infield is not quite where it is you have

125
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: and you have task garnhandas and right field. I mean,

126
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: you are sacrificing your defense for the lineup. You are

127
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: putting out there, and that's something you have to accept that.

128
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: Can't complain about it. Don't complin be upset, I got it,

129
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: but don't complain no, because this is what you do,

130
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: because this is what you have to do to get

131
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: your best line up out. Oh, you made the calculated

132
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: risk right and decided that the coefficients to all the

133
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 1: variables offensively outweighed those of what could go wrong defensively. Unfortunately,

134
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: when the margins and your opponents are better, you don't

135
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: have quite the difference in those coefficients. And we get

136
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: too closer to a balance in that equation because we

137
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: saw it almost last night, right, based on the inability

138
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: of the Dodger relievers to put the ball over the plate.

139
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: Just look, the guy put it in play, although to

140
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: this point I don't know that I want to put

141
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: it in play either. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean

142
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: we'll look at but look that that's how it goes, right.

143
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: That that's the that's the trade you make, right, that's

144
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: the trade. Be upset about him dropping. I'm not saying

145
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: you know what he's said, But don't sit here and say, oh,

146
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: why do we know you know? You know it on

147
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: a field, No, that's just guys on the field. What

148
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: else do you want? Rights, no other place to hide him.

149
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: I just want to I just want to keep playing

150
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: that that Brad Pitt moneyball. His defense does not matter. Defense,

151
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: But Haddleberg can't play first back, his defense does not matter.

152
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: So the Dodgers trailing right now two to one, although

153
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: it looks like it's gonna wind up being two to two. Uh,

154
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: Key k a Hernandez with a double to the right

155
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: field wall, and I love how the f you got

156
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: his bubblehead. This is this is now like you know year,

157
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: This is like year eight or nine. And then Key

158
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: Hernandez is still playing the outfit for the Dodgers in

159
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: big games. Yeah, you just think about that. You put

160
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: him in balls and then in September first say are

161
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: you ready? Keiky Hernandez is still gonna play left He's

162
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: still when it comes down to it, no matter what

163
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: changes we make, keyk Hernandez is gonna be playing left

164
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,679
Speaker 1: field for the Dodgers in big playoffs. What's you're running?

165
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: Joke is? Does the Guardians Kenny Lofton still play some

166
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. He's gonna be fifty five years old

167
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: still playing left field. When they start paying Otani's contract,

168
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: he's gonna be in left field. Sorry, he'll start in

169
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: left field and Otani's retirement. Dad, that's all right. I'm

170
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: here to get the big hit from Hernandez and the

171
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: first guy they show waving the rally towel. No magic Johnson, Well,

172
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: of course, uh so again to two here, but you

173
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: know that there's your drama with the Dodgers and the

174
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: Reds right now again. Uh, maybe we get another game

175
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: three because right now we have three games tomorrow in

176
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball, which is so bamin football. But let

177
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: me just say this. Let me say this. This shows

178
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: you how managers can have good and bad games from

179
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: game to game. Right, all Eric Alex Kora got yesterday,

180
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: Red Sox manager was all the plaudits for making all

181
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 1: the right decisions, pushing the right bunts right, leaving Garret

182
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: Crochet out there, Hey out manage Aaron Boone. Okay, Aaron

183
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 1: Boone had a bad day managing right. Crochet came just

184
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: shy of saying that he threatened him. Yeah, well yeah, game,

185
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: let's become cool though. He once Blake Snell did that. Man,

186
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: He's like, hey, it's open season, man, on all you mattered,

187
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: doesn't want to take us out of game. People were like, oh,

188
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: look at the Huberts. I'm like, no, it is I

189
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: read into that that he threatened if he came out

190
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: before the eighth, he was going to take him down.

191
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna now it's gonna be like rookies in there

192
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: in their first start. Hey, coming out, now you'll come

193
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: get me. Man were talking about been in this game

194
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: for thirty five years. I'm a Hall of Famer. I

195
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: don't care what you are. You're coming out of this game.

196
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 1: So the Red Sox did all they could, and congratulations

197
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: to them because they apparently weren't happy enough today until

198
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 1: they gave the Yankees the game they gave they were

199
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: the Yankees. And this is why I say, you know

200
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: managers have good games from game to game, is because

201
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: Alex Korra all of a sudden got so incredibly conservative

202
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: in this game. Everything I can point to for for

203
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: the Red Sox, well outside Duran's error in left field,

204
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: which was just I went too like you talk about

205
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 1: not scoring, uh eat not scoring on the infield single

206
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: ye eating as that ball gets away, great play by

207
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 1: uh you great players, right to keep it in the infield,

208
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: comes up throwing the ball, scorts away. How he wasn't

209
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: already aggressively rounding third and just a full head of steam.

210
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: By the way, congratulations to Aaron Boone realized he needed

211
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: to play both Rice and him today. I do a

212
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: good job by him. I think I I think I

213
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: could have managed a team today and put them put

214
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: them both in. Yeah, to be fair, you've been saying

215
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: that for one hundred and sixty four games could have

216
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: been managed sixty five. But the other part is, and

217
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: this was the big turning point of the game, right

218
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: seventh inning, all of a sudden, your guy. And I

219
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: call him your guy because now again another another former

220
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: White Sox player who was pitching for good teams. And

221
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, how do you guys suck so bad? Every day?

222
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: It's hey, here's a former white side guy. This guy

223
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: is actually my guy. I love this guy. Here's a

224
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: former White Sox player doing great thing in the play.

225
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: Last night. It was crochet tonight. It's rote Dot. You

226
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: wouldn't have set the bleeping record if you'm onto these guys.

227
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: I still go back and forth with he and his

228
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: wife everyone while social media, Your guy, all of a sudden,

229
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: loses it, right, he can't throw a strike, go to

230
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: the bullpen. Awesome. Red Sox have first and second. Yankees

231
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: are on their heels, nobody out and Rafaela tries to

232
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: bunt and you see them in a surprise and he pops

233
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: it up and I just see that, and I just

234
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: I have to count to ten because, first of all,

235
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,839
Speaker 1: you know how much I hate the bunt, right as

236
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: much of an old school baseball guy as I am.

237
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: Bunting is terrible, right, Bunting is, Yes, it's a lost art.

238
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: And I see the same complaints on social media. How

239
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: players can't bunt in this era of Major League baseball

240
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: is ridiculous. It's the fundamental place. Sorry, I'm sorry you

241
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: don't like that, and I agree with you, But you

242
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 1: know what not happening if a guy can't bunt, and

243
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: it's a situation now, And it sound like Raphael hasn't

244
00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: bunted before, But is he a good bunter? No how

245
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: he was reaching for that ball. And sometimes it's one

246
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: thing to bunt in the seventh inning of Game eighty

247
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: seven of one hundred and sixty two. It's quite another

248
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: thing to bunt in the top of the seventh with

249
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: two on and nobody out a Yankee stadium, when you

250
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: can send these guys home, it becomes much more difficult

251
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 1: to butt. And he bunts it a bad pitch, doesn't

252
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 1: really try to get his body in at it, and

253
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: he pops up and the Yankees wind up getting out

254
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: of the inning.

255
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 3: Right.

256
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: Two batters later, out of the inning, first and second,

257
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: nobody out, and you go conservative, we're gonna try to

258
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: play for a run. What are you doing? What are

259
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 1: you doing? I mean I understand, yeah, should be able

260
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: to butnt Yeah, players show, but if they can't, they can't.

261
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: And you can't just to say that, well, it's embarrassing. No,

262
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: you have to know your players and know how difficult

263
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: it is to place a bunt down because it's not

264
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: like the bunt is automatic. And that's another thing that

265
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 1: gets me from people who want to talk about bunting

266
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: and how great bunting is. It's like, yeah, if you

267
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: can get the bunt down, you execute it right. I

268
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: still don't like the outcome. Now again, Billy mean moneyball,

269
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: They're giving us an out. Don't be a hero, pick

270
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: up the ball, throw at the first base, right, that's

271
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: what it pick the ball through to the first base.

272
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: If they're playing for a run, the most they're gonna

273
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: get as a run, but you have to be able to

274
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,199
Speaker 1: execute it. And as people forget about the execution part

275
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: of it, that hey, yeah, laying that bunt down in

276
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: this kind of situation is really hard. It's going for

277
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 1: it on fourth down in the NFC championship game when

278
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: say we've done it all year. Well, it's a different

279
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: thing to do it on the road in the third quarter,

280
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: when you're trying to put a team away and all

281
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: of a sudden things get jittery. It's a different thing

282
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 1: to ask a guy to do. And so when that

283
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: bunt popped up, I said the Red Size, I turned,

284
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: I turned to my wife and I said, the Red

285
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: Sox just lost this game. They just lost this game

286
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: because now they're not gonna get a run. And this

287
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: is a mistake you don't come back from. The Yankees

288
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: will get a run. They scratch out a run in

289
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,839
Speaker 1: the eighth inning, they get a big single by Wells

290
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: that took him the lead, and they win the game

291
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: for to three, and now they go to play tomorrow.

292
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: The Red Sox blew it tonight, no matter how you

293
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: want to cut it up. The Red Sox blew it

294
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: and they handed the Yankees this game tonight should have

295
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: been the Red Sox going on, the Yankees going home,

296
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 1: and Aaron Boone is giving away all his Yankee gear

297
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: the endgoing they're firing me. Here, take my cleats, here's

298
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: my pants. I'll sign them for you, like here's my

299
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: here's my EyeBlack. Take it right here, here's my hat.

300
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: He'd be fair. He may want to keep the jersey

301
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: and stirrups and everything because he will come back for

302
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: old timers. Well yeah, because well you hit the home run.

303
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: He's kind of a big gale, so I mean he

304
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: still has that going for this. That's where we should be. Instead,

305
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: we're talking about Game three. Raphaela in his career, Well,

306
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: I guess how many sacrifice buns he had two? Five

307
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: to them five? Okay, that's more than I thought. Yeah, no,

308
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: a couple more. But the point being outside, I think

309
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: there was a data point about how frequently the Padres

310
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: played some small ball in the middle of the summer. Otherwise,

311
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: how many teams do you do you really know that's

312
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: how they're playing. You don't play for one run your

313
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: Red Sox Yankees. You think that one run is going

314
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: to solve everything against the Yankees. Yeah, in three years,

315
00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: when you've got like six guys in that line, if

316
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: that already runs, you play for one run, you'll get

317
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: one run. Maybe, like that's the whole thing. You play,

318
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: you'll get on. Maybe you get one run. You got

319
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: the Yankees on their heels. Man, Yeah, rodn was was

320
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: was was dealing. He was pitching pretty well, right, he wasn't.

321
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: He wasn't pitching like Gett. But into all of a

322
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: sudden he lost it, right, he lost it. You're like, whoa,

323
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: Now the Yankees are wounded and vulnerable, and then you

324
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: come in, Yeah, we're gonna bunt like, well, I don't

325
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: get it. I don't get all of a sudden where

326
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: the Red Sox just got incredibly conservative. You got the

327
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: drop fly ball they handed the Yankees this game. They

328
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: gave it to them. If they go home tomorrow, they

329
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: just have themselves to blame for tonight, because tonight tonight

330
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: we're talking about.

331
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 3: Man.

332
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: The Yankees are out, they lose two games, Aaron Boone's

333
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: getting fired. Derek Jeter is gonna manage them all these days.

334
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: That's what we should be saying, but instead we're not

335
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: three three game two on nobody out pitching change bunt man.

336
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: I don't understand it. This guy's coming in coming in

337

Speaker 1: the fifth inning to nothing lead by the Reds thanks

383
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,280

384
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,959
Speaker 1: putting his arm around Yoshinoba Yamamoto. I'm so sorry, man,

385
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. I think I did so many bad things.

386
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 1: Key k Hernandez with a double dest center to tie it,

387
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: and then Rojas just a bleeder to right field to

388
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: bring in keyk Hernandez. Dodgers lead the Reds now three

389
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: to two as they come to bat in the bottom

390
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,560

391

396
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 3: Jay?

397
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:09,199
Speaker 1: How are you?

398
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 3: Man? I'm doing well. How are you guys? Good?

399
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,719
Speaker 1: Okay, So you gotta lift a lid on this. I

400
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 1: know there's whatever. There's no talk. Mum's the word in Baltimore,

401
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson and Sandra. What's going on with Lamar? We

402
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: heard we didn't hear anything today. No one's saying anything.

403
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 1: What's the deal with him now? As you guys are

404
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 1: facing this huge must win the next couple of weeks.

405
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't. I don't think he's playing in the game.

406
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 3: You know, you know, things to change, he'll get uh

407
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 3: peeve it and everything, but you're not doing anything in practice.

408
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 3: And I you know, they've got to buy in two

409
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:54,959
Speaker 3: weeks that they're they're losing people left and right. Uh.

410
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 3: I don't think they'll haveing left tackle for this game.

411
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 3: Are certainly not going to have their fullback the right

412
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 3: side of the offensive line. He has been problematic. I

413
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 3: you know, he wasn't able to finish the last game.

414
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 3: It is what it is. I don't think that there's

415
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 3: like a magic elixir or that all of a sudden

416
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 3: go abrub something on that and he's going to to

417
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 3: be able to play. I don't think this is subterfuge.

418
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 3: He's got a solf tissue problem and they've got massive

419
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 3: issues all the way around right now. And this is

420
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 3: as close as you can get to a must win

421
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 3: game in early October for a team with the kind

422
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 3: of expectations that they have, as you're going to get

423
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 3: and they know what they've got looming with the Rams,

424
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 3: and then they've got a bye week, and I think

425
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 3: they're going to have to try to win a game

426
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 3: or two here with uh a lot of Cooper rush

427
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 3: and maybe a little bit of snow puntley on some

428
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 3: obvious you know, option situation and running situations. But I

429
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 3: think they're I think they're in trouble.

430
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,360
Speaker 1: As you mentioned all the they're already struggling on defense,

431
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: and now they've got what five starters uh that that

432
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 1: will miss a game or two. So it's because I

433
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 1: guess Houston's offense helps you somewhat. Although Woody Marks looked

434
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 1: pretty good this last time out. Let's stay in division

435
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: with the Cleveland Browns. They make the switch to Dylan

436
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: Gabriel expectations based on the limited preseason we saw him.

437
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 3: I don't have any, guys, I really don't. You know. Look,

438
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 3: I thought Ida Jackson Dart was walking into, you know,

439
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 3: the belly of the beast. And I'm not going to

440
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 3: sit here and say he had the most sterling debut

441
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 3: in the history of the league. But he protected the football.

442
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 3: He looked better than Herbert. Now you got protected better

443
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 3: than Herbert, But you just don't know. And this one's

444
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 3: there's so much variant here. I mean, it's happening abroad.

445
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 3: The other team's got major quarterback issues too, and they're

446
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 3: spending two straight weeks abroad. Sometimes it catch lightning in

447
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 3: a bottle. I think his size is a real issue.

448
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 3: I don't think it's an arm that's going to be

449
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 3: strong enough to over compensate for some of the others that,

450
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 3: you know, some of the other attributes that are a

451
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 3: little lacking. He's clearly got some spunk, But I don't

452
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 3: think next year's Brown starting quarterback is on this roster.

453
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 3: That's just you know, the reality. And it's a really

454
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 3: good defense, and maybe the run game comes along, and

455
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 3: certainly it doesn't take much to play better than Flack

456
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 3: I was playing. And he's going to be more spy

457
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 3: and more agile, and that'll help them in certain ways.

458
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 3: But I don't think this is a situation where it's

459
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson two point zero, you know what I mean,

460
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 3: in the whole league missed out on a for three rounds.

461
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,360
Speaker 1: I just don't, Well, what do you make of Shadora

462
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: Sanders today? Asked his question, he started minding his answers

463
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 1: kind of a talk back at Rex Ryan, who said,

464
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,199
Speaker 1: this guy needs to shut up and play football, And

465
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: here's your door doing the whole mind thing in the

466
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 1: locker room when he's being asked questions about what's going on.

467
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 3: I thought it was funny. I mean, like, I don't

468
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 3: know those kids. Damned if he doesn't, Damned if he doesn't.

469
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,360
Speaker 3: What I really couldn't figure out is why is the

470
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 3: third string quarterback even really available? Like? Why?

471
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 2: True?

472
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 3: Honestly, what I was thinking is like these windows to

473
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 3: talk to these players are so tight, and the teams

474
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 3: intentionally schedule lunches and meetings and film sessions and stuff

475
00:23:56,080 --> 00:24:00,199
Speaker 3: during those windows right to give players out. And they've

476
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 3: had a quarterback change and he's not a part of it,

477
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 3: and he's not either the number one or number two

478
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 3: on the depth chart. And he literally didn't say anything

479
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 3: because you just pretended to say words. And this is

480
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 3: the story desire out of Cleveland. I Wowser's I honestly

481
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 3: was like, why why are they making him available to

482
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 3: the media, Like why don't they just say, hey, we're

483
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 3: going to help you out here? Go you know what

484
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 3: I mean, go just hang out in the quarterback room.

485
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 3: I don't have a problem with what he did. Again,

486
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 3: I think it was tongue in cheek, and people are

487
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 3: ripping him for every you know, every look, every fasal expression,

488
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 3: every smirk or potential smirk. So I honestly think he's

489
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 3: handled it. You know. It's Yes, it's tongue in cheek,

490
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 3: But I thought it was kind of creative. I thought

491
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 3: it was kind of cute, like I don't know, man,

492
00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 3: like he's because he didn't get sent to the principal's

493
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 3: office for this, Like I don't know. I honestly didn't

494
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 3: have a problem with it.

495
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: I thought it was a nice distraction. We got an

496
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,120
Speaker 1: actual starting quarterback change over here. But if you want

497
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: to worry about miming, that's great. Well, all right, forty

498
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: nine ers. Is anybody besides Christian McCaffrey ready to play?

499
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: It just seems one week after week it's the other

500
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: side of the coin from what you've got with the Ravens.

501
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 1: Can Montana and Taylor get it done tomorrow night? A

502
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 1: little bit of Brent Jones? Can they get it done

503
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: with all the juryraft been ready to go and block you?

504
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,919
Speaker 3: No, I think they're in trouble. And look if they

505
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 3: were going to even try to run pretty out there

506
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 3: after that thing on Sunday, I mean, what are you doing?

507
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 3: You can't tell me, Matt Joneses. Other than that, I

508
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 3: didn't think much of them coming into the year. They've

509
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 3: got a record that I think flatters them. There's no

510
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 3: pass rush to speak, and that was even with Bosa.

511
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 3: And if you were counting on Bosa, you're a full

512
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 3: because he's been breaking down for a couple of years

513
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 3: now and he's not available much. I mean, I think

514
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 3: there's maybe if you went and looked at that Super

515
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 3: Bowl they played against Kansas City and like their top

516
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:23,199
Speaker 3: fifteen or sixteen guys in smack count on defense, I

517
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 3: think there's one or two still there and they can't

518
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,959
Speaker 3: run the ball at damn. I mean McCaffrey's averaging three

519
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 3: to three to carry like outside zone behind. You know,

520
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 3: Trent Williams is going nowhere. I think they're in trouble.

521
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,479
Speaker 3: It doesn't look like a very creative offense. I mean

522
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 3: McCaffrey's touched the ball one hundred times already, and it's

523
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 3: not explosive, it's not prolific. I mean losing Kittle like

524
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 3: like Kiddle at this stage of his career, Like, come on, man,

525
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 3: that shouldn't cripple your offense now, nol piersoll too, and

526
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 3: I know you it's gonna hurt, but he got a

527
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 3: whole all season to offset some of this. No, I

528
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 3: don't think they're a particularly good football team, and I

529
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 3: think they're walking into a buzz soft minor.

530
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know that's the thing is, Look the Rams.

531
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: I mean they've made a cottage industry the last three

532
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 1: years of We're going to start out one and four.

533
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,439
Speaker 1: People write us off in the back half of the season.

534
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford's great. They look like the best team in

535
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 1: the NFL, and boy, they really get close. Like I

536
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 1: feel like all they got to do is stack wins

537
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: or this the toughest schedule in the NFL, and they're

538
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: stacking wins and stack and wins. I mean, good luck, man,

539
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: good luck against this team.

540
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,400
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean they have the better offense, the better defense,

541
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 3: the far better special teams. They've got, the better head coach,

542
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 3: they've got, the better quarterback. They've got the advantage in

543
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 3: a short week. Now, what happens in this league, There's

544
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 3: no doubt about that. But I think San Francisco is

545
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 3: going to have to throw the ball way more than

546
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 3: they'd like, given the way they're presently constituted. I think

547
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 3: their offensive line is going to get borderline eviscerated by

548
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 3: a hung hungry and young range Rams group up front.

549
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 3: I don't know if Nick Day, like the Rams run

550
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 3: game hasn't been phenomenal. This might be a get right game.

551
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 3: And I know that, you know, Sean tends to, you know,

552
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 3: when he gets a lead, maybe not go for the

553
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 3: juggling in the way some some others might, and maybe

554
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 3: they let the forty nine ers hang around a little

555
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:23,679
Speaker 3: more than they should. But I don't think it's going

556
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 3: to these closest, you know, the way Seattle at Arizona

557
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 3: hang around A week ago. I don't think it's it's

558
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 3: going to be that much of a sweat for them.

559
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 3: I think Pookah's going to keep doing Pooka things. I

560
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 3: think Stafford will throw his two touchdown passes, and I

561
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 3: think San Francisco offensively. If you haven't seen them, and

562
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 3: you haven't seen how pop gun and kind of suspect

563
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 3: this is, then you're in for a surprise because this

564
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 3: this don't look anything like Shanahan offenses in the past.

565
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: Check them out on honesty. One of five seven the

566
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: fan in Baltimore Washington Post wanna bet as well. All

567
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: the info on his Twitter page at Jason lock And

568
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: for it, Jay, as always, buddy, appreciate it, man, enjoy

569
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: the games. We'll talk to you next week.

570
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 3: Thanks God, you did the same, big good rather.

571
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: Hie, There goes Jason lock And for it. Yeah. Look,

572
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: you know the Chador Sanders thing. It's all about optics

573
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: with him, right, Like, like, I get you, Jay, Why

574
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 1: is the third string quarterback of elb Butt Shadoor Sanders

575
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: is He's a popular guy, right still, the most popular

576
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 1: guy people want to hear about in that locker room.

577
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: The optics are always a thing with him, right, because

578
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: what I saw today, Like I thought it was kind

579
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: of funny. But when you look at it and say, okay,

580
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: how is this gonna be perceived? Is this gonna be

581
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: perceived as being funny or is it gonna be perceived

582
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: as because of the optics surrounding him?

583
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 3: Oh?

584
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: Here he is. He's not taking this seriously. He's upset

585
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: he's not the starting quarterback. It's like, you have to

586
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: be able to control the narrative. And that's the thing

587
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: with Shadoor Sanders is that you know, sometimes he doesn't

588
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: really do a good job of that and and the

589
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: narrative gets away from him and it's something that he

590
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: winds up having to answer for because this was not

591
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: that big a deal. But you can't control the optics

592
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:02,479
Speaker 1: of how it's gonna be. But that's just it. It all

593
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: runs in parallel, right. We had the Rex Ryan comments

594
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: from the other day when he was saying, hey, I'm

595
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: better than a bunch of folks, and it was intimated

596
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 1: al though he didn't say it explicitly. I'd be better

597
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: than Joe Flacco, I think, is how a lot of

598
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 1: folks read the room. And then Dylan Gabriel gets named

599
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: the starter for this week against Minnesota. Okay, and then

600
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco took to the podium and was asked about

601
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: Dylan Gabriel and talked about his study habits and how

602
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: seriously he takes that. Yeah, which again may it may

603
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 1: have nothing to do with what Shor Sanders was doing

604
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: in another room, but it all piles in together to

605
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: create him. It's not like Flacco said, he hadn't study,

606
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: unlike the other guy hasn't cracked a book yet. Right,

607
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: he had to hold up his picture. He didn't do

608
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: the old I'm holding up my hand and pointing this guy.

609
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: We sent him the DVD and one hundred dollar bill

610
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: was inside and there was nothing on the DVD. You

611
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 1: know whatever, it was, right, but it all just goes

612
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: back into that same pot for him. For him, it's

613
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: the optics. And you gotta be able look control because

614
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: you have to understand if you're shaudor Sanders. This is

615
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: a big deal. Is that he is in what could

616
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: be the final year in the NFL, because if he

617
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: doesn't impress enough people in the off see he's a

618
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: fifth round pick, teams are gonna go. Okay, we watch

619
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 1: the drama in Cleveland. It didn't work we're not signing

620
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: the guy and the next and next year's playing in

621
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: the CFL, and it's hey, look at Shador Sanders playing

622
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: in the CFL. Try to find his way back to

623
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball, right, Like, that's kind of where you're at.

624
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: He's got to understand that part of it that yeah, dude,

625
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: you're a young guy, but you could also be in

626
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: your last year in the NFL. And on some level

627
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: he's got to hope that Dylan gabriel he's got to

628
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 1: become Dylan Gabriel's biggest fan. And I mean this for

629
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: the fact that as of right now he's still number

630
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: three on the tail. Is that like he moved up,

631
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 1: Gabriel gets the start, might never see the light of day.

632
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: But in Gabriel's really terrible, then well you couldn't beat

633
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: him out. So what are we doing? Exit out about

634
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: a Fresca exit swollen domes. Just think of the stakes

635
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: for Chador Sanders are way higher than you think they are.

636
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: Time now to find out what's trending in the wide

637
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: world of sports. From a guy who told me before

638
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: the game, you know, Jason, if the Reds could find

639
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: a way to single off of home plate, they might

640
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 1: be able to get to Yoshinoba Yamamoto. It's Isaac Lowan Kron,

641
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: and he was correct, because that could be what we're

642
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: seeing right now.

643
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 5: That is what just happened. Indeed, also marks the first

644
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 5: time you've allowed me to speak to you before a

645
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,280

Speaker 1: You're right, I say hi to you.

648
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,800

653
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, after the first three or four pages

654
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 5: it became a little repetitive.

655
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 1: Page six, Now, don't look away from me.

656

Speaker 5: talk to my children. By the way, guys at game two,

659
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 5: the Cincinnati Reds.

660
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: Wait, wait, your kids are calling me right now? Hang

661
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: on there, See how much I talked to Ilo on

662
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: Sunday morning. Talk about the talk about the speed dial.

663
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 5: By the way, guys, the Cincinnati Reds indeed have the

664
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 5: bases loaded in the top of the sixth inning, one out,

665
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 5: the Dodgers leading the Reds three to two. Sal Stewart,

666
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 5: who had a two run single in the top of

667
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 5: the first inning off of Yoshinobu Yamamoto, is at the

668
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 5: plate right now. He just swung and missed at a slider,

669
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 5: so he faces account of one ball and two strikes now.

670
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 5: Going into this inning, Yamamoto had retired thirteen straight with

671
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 5: six strikeouts, but TJ. Friedel and Spencer Strider broke that

672
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 5: streak with back to back singles, and then it was

673
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 5: the former Dodger Gavin Lux with an infield single that

674
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 5: he skied off of home plate to load the bases.

675
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 5: Austin Hayes then hit into a force play, with Fridle

676
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 5: forced out at home. Right now, Stewart is at the

677
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 5: plate facing account of one and two. The bases loaded,

678
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 5: one out, top of the six, Dodgers up three to two,

679
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,839
Speaker 5: and Yamamoto strikes out steared on an eighty one mile

680
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,879
Speaker 5: an hour curve ball, so the bases loaded and two out.

681
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 5: With Ellie de la Cruz coming up to the plate again.

682
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 5: The Dodgers hold on to a three to two lead

683
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 5: on the top of the sixth inning, they lead the

684
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,439
Speaker 5: series one nothing. Earlier, the Yankees forced to deciding Game

685
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 5: three with a four to three win over the Boston

686
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 5: Red Sox, Austin Wells the go ahead RBI single in

687
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 5: the bottom of the eighth. The Cleveland Guardians forced a

688
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 5: deciding Game three with a six to one win over Detroit.

689
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 5: Padres forced to decide in Game three with a three

690
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 5: to nothing victory over the Cubs at Wrigley Field. So again, Dodgers,

691
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 5: holding onto a three to two lead over Cincinnati, bases

692
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 5: loaded two outs top of the six inning Yoshinobu Yamamoto

693
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 5: with a count of zero to one against Ellie de

694
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 5: la Cruz after the Reds had the bases loaded with

695
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 5: no body out to begin this inning. Guys, back to you,

696
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 5: Thank you Elo.

697
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: Jason Smith Mike Harmon live from the Fox Sports Radio Studios.

698
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what that was a really you know,

699
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 1: I guess I could say, yeah, that was a horrendous

700
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 1: at back by Stuart because Allo did was throw that

701
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 1: curve in the dirt and he waved at it three times,

702
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: right like you have to be able to make him

703
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: throw it. For this is the reason why you know,

704
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 1: I peaked in baseball when I was twelve because I

705
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: couldn't make the other pitchers throw a curve for a strike.

706
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: I couldn't. I couldn't do that. But here's basses loaded,

707
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: one out after you nearly get a run, hit a

708
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 1: line drive to MOOKI bets wh who scoops it up

709
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: and throws home for the out. Uh you wave that?

710
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,320
Speaker 1: Three pitches that just that don't even start in the

711
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: strike zone. It's not like they started the strike zone.

712
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: They started below his knees and he still just waved

713
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 1: at him. Defensive hitting man, hit the ball the right

714
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:51,359
Speaker 1: field man. I'll wait. H So here's where we sit

715
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 1: right now. Dodgers lead the Reds three to two, bases loaded,

716
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,320
Speaker 1: two outs. Ellie de la Cruz up top of the

717
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: sixth thning nitches the bullpen. Dodger bulpin says, get ready,

729
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,720
Speaker 1: at bat that Stewart had last inning for the Reds.

730
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it was terrible. However, he made up for

731
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 1: it by committing an error at first base, allowing the

732
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,359
Speaker 1: Dodgers to put runners at first and third with one

733
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 1: out in the bottom of the sixth inning. Trying to

734
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: throw to first on a ground ball, throws way behind

735
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: the pitcher, So now the Dodgers runners at the corners.

736
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 1: For show, Heyo Tani up three to two going for

737
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: the closer against the Reds. Keith a Hernandez continues the

738
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: postseason of living right. That's amazing. Horseshoe has to be

739
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: somewhere on is being walked through a metal detector. Uh,

740
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 1: dribble the ball up the third base line. It stays fair,

741
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: hits the base and bounces up and the third baseman

742
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,839

Speaker 1: Three innings, sixty two bitches. That's it. Now, that's a

766
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 1: heavy workload, but still three innings. You didn't try to

767
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: bleed it out. He walked the leadoff man in the

768
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 1: fourth and that was it. Now, I gotta tell you,

769
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest with you. Yeah, you know, because

770
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie to you. I was feeling a

771
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: lot better today. Look, the Mets are out of the

772
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 1: playoffs right now, it's another day removed. Another sand was eaten,

773
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 1: and I thought teams are gonna get eliminated today. Clearly

774
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: nobody got eliminated. So okay, once we get out of

775
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: this round of the playoffs, I'll feel okay. So long

776
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 1: you were really excited that a couple of teams were

777
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: gonna go home. It's like, see, they didn't win any

778
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 1: more games of dings because I knew the Mets weren't

779
00:38:57,760 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 1: going to Wait, maybe they win game one with Nolan McClain,

780
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: but they don't win the other games because they have

781
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:05,359
Speaker 1: nobody else. Can okay, come on? That was your guy.

782
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 1: He was until he couldn't get anybody out. The only

783
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 1: thing that was been king about King Tong has been

784
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,359
Speaker 1: his era has been so high. So anyway, but I'm like, okay,

785
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 1: I just wanted to get in at that point, right,

786
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 1: I just want to get at that point, but I

787
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:20,479
Speaker 1: was over it until I watched this bleeping I hate

788
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 1: watching the Guardians. They shouldn't be in the playoffs. They

789
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 1: shouldn't be there. You know why because when I see

790
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:27,840
Speaker 1: the Mets with all what a great season offense for

791
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,720
Speaker 1: for wan so to what Pete Alonzo a great season?

792
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 1: And I got to watch the bleeping Guardians and their

793
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:38,800
Speaker 1: thirty first ranked team batting average in ops they can't score,

794
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,360
Speaker 1: yet they find a way to ninety wins in the

795
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 1: playoffs and one game away from the next round.

796
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 3: I go, what the hell?

797
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 1: Man Like, they shouldn't even be in the playoffs. Not

798
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 1: that they're not a good team, that they haven't overachieved, no,

799
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: all of these things they also had. Guys, Yeah, you can't.

800
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 1: You can't. You can't make the playoffs with this, especially

801
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 1: when you're th in games midway through. But I mean

802
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 1: they cleared out the bullpen and it got everything right.

803
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: Your offense is absolutely abysimble. I mean you look at

804
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: you know, the teams. I'm gonna tell you this, Mike Carmen.

805
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: Let me tell you that they are ranked three okay,

806
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:17,359
Speaker 1: thirty first in team batting average right and thirty first

807
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:20,879
Speaker 1: in team ops. How bad are they? Batting average? How

808
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 1: bad are they? The four worst teams in Major League

809
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 1: Baseball batting average? The White Sox, Yeah, the Pirates, the Guardians,

810
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: and the Angels. Three of those teams combined for a

811
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 1: grand total of eight wins this season. Well, if they

812
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 1: hire Albert Poolholes, he hits for them. I mean, you

813
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:44,839
Speaker 1: have one of the I mean these are three. These

814
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 1: are three teams that the season was over for them

815
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 1: in April. Yeah, I mean, and you're in the playoffs.

816
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:53,799
Speaker 1: You hit this. It's so bleep and frustrating. Man, watch

817
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: it and to hear, Hey, you know, they just find

818
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 1: a way. They mesh together, they get well pitched games,

819
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 1: they hit just enough to collect. Yeah, blah blah blah.

820
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:03,800
Speaker 1: They shouldn't even be in the playoffs. They had a

821
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 1: minus six run differential for the year, and they're in,

822
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: and they're here. They are one game away playing a

823
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 1: home game tomorrow to move on to the Alds. I mean,

824
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 1: that's what's happening right now. That's where they are. It's

825
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: so frustrating. I'm frustrated all over again. I'm like, today

826
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: was a good day. They're like got frustrated all over again.

827
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 1: But on the plus side. I mean you lost to

828
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,080
