1 00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:04,120 Speaker 1: Welcome everyone to the Monday edition of Fair Territory. I'm 2 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 1: Ken Rosenthal, coming from New York City right now getting 3 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,080 Speaker 1: ready for tonight's broadcast of Game three of the Division 4 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 1: series Yankees Blue Jays, Blue Jays leading to nothing. But 5 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 1: of course I want to start off with last night's proceedings, 6 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:22,640 Speaker 1: and particularly the proceedings in Philadelphia, where the Dodgers took 7 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:24,960 Speaker 1: a two games to non lead four to three victory 8 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: over the Phillies. We are steamrolling toward a potential Dodgers 9 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 1: Brewers and LCS, both teams the Dodgers and Brewers leading 10 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 1: their respective division series two games to none, and a 11 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: Dodgers Brewers NLCS would be big market versus small market. 12 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: It would be in the eyes of some referendum on 13 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 1: whether the sport needs a salary cap. But let's not 14 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 1: get into all that just yet. We have some more 15 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 1: fun to discuss regarding these two series, and of course 16 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: the two American League Division series going on as well. 17 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: The Dodgers all regularly season I found to be frustrating. 18 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,680 Speaker 1: I thought they were coasting. I wondered, like a lot 19 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: of people, including their manager Dave Roberts, whether they would 20 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 1: be able to turn it on at the appropriate time. 21 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 1: I guess we have our answer. They've won nine straight games, 22 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: including the first two of this series, thirteen of fifteen. 23 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,199 Speaker 1: The starting pitching looks like nothing else in the sport 24 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,960 Speaker 1: right now, so dominant, and we've seen that in these 25 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 1: first two games in Philadelphia. They took those two. They 26 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: had that frantic bottom of the ninth last night, the 27 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: hold on, which started with Blake trianon kind of an 28 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: odd decision by Dave Roberts, then featured the wheel play, 29 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: of course, but the story of this series so far 30 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: is what Otani has done, and it's what Snell has done. 31 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: As Jason Stark wrote this morning in The Athletic, in 32 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: a span of thirty nine batters at one point, when 33 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: you look at Otani first and then Snell, they allowed 34 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: two hits. Two hits in thirty nine batters. And as 35 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: well as the Phillies have pitched Sanchez and Lozardo, they've 36 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: been outpitched. And the Phillies again in the postseason, are 37 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: struggling offensively. Now. I would suggest that a big reason 38 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 1: they are struggling offensively in the postseason is because the 39 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: Dodgers pitching has been so good. But Turner, Schwarber, and 40 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: Harper right now two for twenty one. You could say 41 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: the Dodgers are kind of in a similar spot Otani's 42 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,519 Speaker 1: one for nine, Otani bets and Freeman just four for 43 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: twenty five combined. But the Dodgers have found a way 44 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: to win these two games. And as we go forward here, 45 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: it's almost difficult for me to imagine any team outpitching 46 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: the Dodgers what they have right now. In addition to 47 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: three brilliant starters, of course, I'm talking about a Tani 48 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: Snell and the game three choice, your Shinobu Yamamoto, who 49 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 1: will be most likely a top five sal Young finalist, 50 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: We're also talking about a bullpen that, yes has struggled, 51 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,959 Speaker 1: continues to struggle, but is currently fortified by four other 52 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: are starting pitchers, four Glass now Kershaw, Sian and of 53 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 1: course Roki Sasaki, who has emerged as a pretty fair 54 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: closer in recent days. So right now you have a 55 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: situation where the Phillies are scraping. They're going back to 56 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: LA It's hard to imagine them winning this series, of course, 57 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: And then if the series ends at some point and 58 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: the Phillies end up losing, there are gonna be a 59 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: whole lot of questions about the future of this team, 60 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 1: how they're going to go forward. Schwarber and real Muto 61 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: are free agents. You would think the Phillies want them back. 62 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: They don't have obvious internal replacements. Rob Thompson as manager, 63 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: I would say he has done a good job. He 64 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: is not the problem. But I would expect if the 65 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: Phillies go out there to be some kind of change. 66 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: So that's Philadelphia and La the Brewers. Last night they 67 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: took it to the Cubs yet again, and we're seeing 68 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: here a big market, small market matchup, of course, and 69 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: the small market team yet again Milwaukee prevailing in a 70 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: big way. They have been the Cubs tormentors for quite 71 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: some time now and it's just continuing in this series. 72 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: So last night, a team that is twenty second in 73 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: the majors in home runs, the Brewers hit three homers, 74 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: including two three run shots, and that was the difference 75 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: in the game. The three run shots by Andrew Vaughan 76 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: and Jackson Curio massive home runs. This is not necessarily 77 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 1: what the Brewers do typically. What they did in Game 78 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,559 Speaker 1: one was more typical, but here they are. They didn't 79 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: even use Quinn Priester in their bullpen game. Yes, that 80 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: was a bullpen game in which they prevailed last night. 81 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: They had hinted in using Priester, but they preserve him 82 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: for Game three and the miss last night, My goodness, 83 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 1: three scoreless innings, hit one hundred and four miles an hour. 84 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 1: He was absolutely brilliant and dominant and electric. It was 85 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: also fired up. It was really cool to see. So 86 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: the Cubs obviously in deep trouble here. And if your 87 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: Cubs fan, I'm sure you're wondering, man, if we only 88 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: had Kate Horton, if we only had Justin Steele going 89 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: back further, sure that's fair, but the Brewers are without 90 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: Brandon Woodruff, and the Cubs just have not matched them 91 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: so far in this series. From a starting pitching or 92 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: any kind of pitching standpoint, Matt Boyd on three days 93 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: rest in Game one. Never a good idea to pitch 94 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 1: a guy on three days rest in the postseason. The 95 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: numbers are staggering against it, but the Cubs felt obviously 96 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: that was their best option, and then Imanaga in Game two. 97 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 1: He has allowed a ton of home runs lately, thirty 98 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: one in the regular season total that is fourth in 99 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: the Majors and then even more recently twelve home runs 100 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: in his last six starts allowed. Wasn't a shock last 101 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: night to see him allow a few more homers. So 102 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 1: the Cubs, I don't know how they're going to figure 103 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: this out with the Brewers over time, but here are 104 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: the Brewers, and not counting the COVID season, the last 105 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: time the Cubs finished ahead of them, the last time 106 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: was twenty seventeen. And for the Brewers, if they do 107 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: prevail here, and it certainly looks like they will, this 108 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: will be a huge thing for them because they have 109 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:14,479 Speaker 1: lost five straight opening round series, four wildcard series, and 110 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: division series. They have yet to kind of break through 111 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 1: in this new era of Theirs, this era of Council 112 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: and now Crat Murphy. This would be a big thing. 113 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: And certainly we've seen them be the best team in 114 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: the Majors all season long. It seems to me now 115 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 1: casual fans who might be watching this are seeing why 116 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 1: they do a lot of things really well. Brewers up 117 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 1: to nothing in that series. Now the series I am 118 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: on the Yankees and the Blue Jays. We go to 119 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: Game three tonight at Yankee Stadium. The Blue Jays have 120 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: outscored the Yankees twenty three to eight in this series, 121 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: but it has all taken place at Rogers Center, where 122 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: the Blue Jays were absolutely electric and brilliant in any 123 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 1: other great adjective you might want to use. In the 124 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: first two games. I said this unfair territory yesterday. I'll 125 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: say it again today. I do see a pathway for 126 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: the Yankees to get back in this series. Obviously, it 127 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: starts tonight. Rodin has to beat Shane Bieber, and then 128 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: Game four, of the Blue Jays are throwing a bullpen game, 129 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: the Yankees will have Cam Schlitzer that would seemingly favor 130 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: the Yankees. And then Game five back in the Rogers 131 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: Center where the Yankees are one and eight, it would 132 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: be freed In Gossman. And who knows how Ya Savage 133 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: will be used, if at all, in Games four or five, 134 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: coming off his brilliant seventy eight pitch performance on Sunday, 135 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: but he is an option at some point four or five. 136 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: All hands on deck in a Game five, And yes, 137 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: the Yankees would have that Rogers stigma hanging over them 138 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,119 Speaker 1: the one and eight record, But at the same time, 139 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: when you get to that point, if you get to 140 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: that point. Again, all bets are off, You've got a shot, 141 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens tonight. It is a huge 142 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: test for the Yankees, a huge test for Aaron Judge. 143 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: As I wrote yesterday, Vladimir Guerrero in two days, in 144 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: those games at Rogers Center in two days produced more 145 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: electrifying moments in the postseason than I think maybe Aaron 146 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: Judge ever has the game one homer in the first 147 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: inning for Guerrero, and of course the Grand Slam in 148 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: Game two that turned a five to nothing lead into 149 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: a nine nothing lead. So Yankees obviously in trouble here, 150 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: but again they're coming home as opposed to the Phillies, 151 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: and that gives them something of at least a chance. 152 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 1: I would say. The other series, the final series we 153 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 1: should discuss here, Mariners and Tigers. This has been an 154 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: interesting series, low scoring, both games decided by scores of 155 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: three to two. The Mariners finally win a postseason game 156 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: at home for the first time since two thousand and one. 157 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: They do that in Game two, a game that the 158 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: Tigers had tied up late and easily could have won. 159 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 1: Didn't work out that way. So now it goes back 160 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: to Detroit, and we'll see what happens here. I am 161 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: not convinced one way or the other that either of 162 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: these teams is going to dominate in the next two games. Tonight, 163 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 1: we have Logan Gilbert seemingly with a pitching advantage over 164 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: Jack Flaherty, who has been at times brilliant and at 165 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: times inconsistent. So this is a series that it seems 166 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: like it's gonna go more longer than some of the others. 167 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,559 Speaker 1: Certainly when you're tied one to one, that would be 168 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: the obvious conclusion. Ken, But with schoolble looming still and 169 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 1: with the Mariners pitching being what it is, I would 170 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: expect low scoring games to continue, assuming Flowerty tonight is 171 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: going to be the Jack Flaherty we saw at times 172 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 1: in last year's postseason, at times during the regular season, 173 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: but not always in either case. All right, we'll be 174 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:51,079 Speaker 1: right back after this with the inside dish FT fam. 175 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 2: Let's talk about Superpower. Eric Kratz is a proud Superpower customer, 176 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 2: and he's gonna give us more of the personal experience. 177 00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 2: But I'll just start it with this. You ever go 178 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 2: to the doctor in the docs, just like, oh, drink 179 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 2: more water? Are you looking for more data, more of 180 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 2: a game plan. Superpower does that for you. They give 181 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,599 Speaker 2: you the experience that athletes get with teams. 182 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: LA. 183 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 3: The lab results came back for me. Now it's streamlines 184 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 3: everything that I kind of had an idea of, but 185 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 3: now it really lets me focus on the things that 186 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 3: I'm deficient in, the things that I'm that I that 187 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 3: I have good, good lab test results from, and I 188 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 3: could go in that direction. 189 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 2: I want to go nutritional guidance, supplement suggestions, you name it. 190 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 2: There's so much more info to check out at superpower 191 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 2: dot com and you can lock in the special one 192 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 2: hundred ninety nine dollars price while at lasts after you 193 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:43,959 Speaker 2: sign up, they're gonna ask you how you heard about them? 194 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 2: Mentioned ft to support the show, Your biology decoded, your 195 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 2: blueprint activated with Superpower? 196 00:10:51,600 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: Well well, well, time out for the inside. I dished 197 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,079 Speaker 1: the part of the show where I talk about maybe 198 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 1: a story I've written, maybe a trend in the game, 199 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,319 Speaker 1: maybe something else entirely, And today I want to talk 200 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 1: about one of the favorite things that I do in 201 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: the television part of my job when I work for 202 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: Fox Sports, and that is interviewing parents. And I believe 203 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: i've mentioned this before on the show, but I just 204 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: take such enjoyment out of it, because really, every time 205 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: you do it, it's in a successful situation for the 206 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: player and the parents. Most often in major league debuts 207 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: is when this happens, they are routinely overjoyed. So on Sunday, 208 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,839 Speaker 1: in Game two, after you Savage pitched five and a 209 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: third scoreless innings with eleven strikeouts, hitless innings, I interviewed 210 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 1: his parents, Dave and Cheryl, up in the stands in 211 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: Rogers Center, and I just kind of want to share 212 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: with you guys how this came about, because this one 213 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: was a little bit different. So again, I've been doing 214 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 1: this a long time now. This is my twentieth year 215 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 1: at Fox. I remember Daniel Nava, Nava coming up in 216 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 1: twenty ten for the Red Sox, first pitch Grand Slam 217 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: in his first Major league at bat, interviewing his parents. 218 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: I remember Cole Tucker when he came up for the 219 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: Pirates in twenty nineteen, hit a home run and interviewed 220 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: his parents. That was cool. Twenty twenty two NLCS the 221 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: Nola Showdown between Austin Nola of the Padres Aaron Nola 222 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: of the Phillies interviewed their parents in the stands. All 223 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 1: these things are great. Never interviewed a parent in a 224 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: postseason game when their son is coming off the performance 225 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: that trey Y Savage did. And actually, initially this interview 226 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,199 Speaker 1: was not going to happen. The morning of the game, 227 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: I contacted the Blue Jays and said, hey, if you 228 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: Savage pitch as well, I would like to interview the parents. 229 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: What do you think Can you tell me the seat 230 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: locations and we'll go from there. And the Jays replied, 231 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: you know what, this is something where we want to 232 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,199 Speaker 1: ask the player first, and we do not want to 233 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 1: talk to you Savage on the day of his start. 234 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: The next time, if you just let us know a 235 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: day in advance, we'll talk to him and we'll see 236 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 1: what happens. That answer frustrated me. I will lie At 237 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: the same time, I did understand it. Now you might say, well, 238 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 1: what's the big deal about asking a player if a 239 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 1: reporter can talk to his parents, But starting pitchers generally 240 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 1: are left alone the day of their starts. And Treya 241 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: Savage was making his fourth major league start, So I 242 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: can understand where the Blue Jays were coming from, and 243 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,559 Speaker 1: I can even understand why they would want his approval, 244 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: because not all players would be comfortable with their parents 245 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: being interviewed. And I could speak for myself here. My 246 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 1: dad has passed away, but if he was ever interviewed 247 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: about me, I would not have been happy about it. 248 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 1: He would have taken things, probably in directions that I 249 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,199 Speaker 1: would not have been comfortable with. So I understood the 250 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: whole thing. But then the game is progressing. The Blue 251 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: Jays go up nine to nothing, they go up eleven nothing, 252 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 1: they go up twelve nothing, and I text an official 253 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: from MLB who was working the series and on the 254 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: broadcast sides. He's a sign to really organizing the broadcast 255 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 1: interviews and different things, and I said, hey, it would 256 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 1: be nice if we can interview Trey Savage's parents, don't 257 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 1: you think And he agreed, and he said, you know what, 258 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 1: let me ask the Blue Jays and we'll see what 259 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: they say. And the Blue Jays said, you know what, Okay. 260 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 1: They allowed that MLB official to approach the parents in 261 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: the stands ask their permission if I could come up 262 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: there and interview them, and everything from there proceeded. The 263 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: MLB official texted me back and said, we're good, go 264 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 1: ahead up there. I did that, and I had a 265 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: stage manager, a person down on the field with me 266 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: who knew the ballpark better than I did, got me 267 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: to the seats and you saw what happened if you 268 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: were still watching by that point. Dave and Cheryl were great. 269 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: And what was unusual about this interview different than some 270 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 1: of the others. Usually it's conducted with the parents sitting 271 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: down because the games are I don't know, close, and 272 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: people are watching and they don't want to be standing 273 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: up and blocking the view of others. But in this case, Dave, 274 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: you Savage Tray's dad said, you know what, I want 275 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: everybody up behind me, because there were family members, a 276 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: lot of family members, it seemed like, behind him, and 277 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 1: other people maybe from other Blue Days families as well. 278 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 1: So everybody stood. Dave stood, Cheryl stood, brother Cole stood. 279 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: He's in college right now, but he was up. They 280 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: had driven up from Pennsylvania for this, and you could 281 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: see the excitement of the parents. Hear the excitement of 282 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: the parents. They gave great answers to the questions. They 283 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: were regular people, as almost all baseball player parents are, 284 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: and it was just a fun interview. So it was 285 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: the kind of thing that kind of makes my job 286 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 1: even more fulfilling. It's always fulfilling, it's always great. But again, 287 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: that is maybe the favorite thing that I do, interviewing 288 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: parents in joyous moments like that. And when you have 289 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: parents who were as down home and as cool as 290 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: Dave and Cheryl were, well, it doesn't get any better 291 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: than that. So that was it. That was the story 292 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: behind that interview. I want to thank, obviously Dave and 293 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 1: Cheryl for being so accommodating with their time and being 294 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: willing to do it. I also want to thank the 295 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: Blue Jays for ultimately deviating from their policy, I guess 296 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: you would say, And I want to thank the MLB 297 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 1: official who helped as well. Worked out great, and who knows, 298 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 1: maybe we'll have another moment like that later in the series. 299 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: Maybe Cam Schlitzler's parents will be the next ones that 300 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,119 Speaker 1: we interview. But he's already, I don't know, pretty accomplished 301 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 1: for a major league pitcher. Anyway. That is the inside dish. 302 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 1: We'll be back with grilling Kin right after this. Ft FAM. 303 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 2: Another reason why you should love Arena Club is the 304 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 2: grading system. So you recently pulled a slap pack and 305 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 2: then you said, hey, it's not great. Great it for me. 306 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 2: They gave you an eight point five out of ten 307 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 2: on your Auto whitey Ford card, and then they show 308 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 2: you all the details of the grading system. It's very 309 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 2: interactive within the app, and then you're done. If you 310 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 2: want to sell the card or you want to know 311 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 2: what it's worth, you've got it. 312 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 4: It's like getting taken a school on cards. And I 313 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 4: think that's the coolest part of it. If you're young 314 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 4: or old, you understand, hey, this is how it gets 315 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 4: deciphered all the way through, shows you the numbers and 316 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 4: how they went through it. I think that's the coolest 317 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 4: part about this whole thing. And then you can keep it, 318 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:06,880 Speaker 4: traded or sell it or whatever you want. 319 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 2: And it's so much more efficient to do this through 320 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 2: Arena Club.

We'll get to grilling Can in 328 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 1: one second, But first I want to address the ongoing 329 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: situation regarding the managerial merry go round. Rick Groley wrote 330 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: about it today for The Athletic and brid of course 331 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: did an outstanding job as always. It's a very interesting 332 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,639 Speaker 1: situation because there are so many jobs open. We've seen 333 00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 1: the Texas Rangers fill their position as expected with Skips Drumacher, 334 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 1: and now it remains to be seen just where these 335 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: other ones are going to go. We've got three interims 336 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: still to be decided Colorado. I would expect that to 337 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: be a change because a new general manager is coming 338 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 1: in to replace Bill Schmidt. Washington still has to decide 339 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 1: on Miguel Cairo. Baltimore still has to decide on Tony Mansolino. 340 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: I wrote last week about David Ross and his interest 341 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: in becoming a manager again. And there are two jobs 342 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 1: in particular that I think are the most appealing, and 343 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: maybe three the most appealing right now. The ones open 344 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 1: is Atlanta. I don't know that there's any question about that. 345 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,879 Speaker 1: Most everyone in the game expects the Braves to be 346 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 1: back and back in a big way next season. They're 347 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: going to do some things in the offseason, and they're 348 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 1: also going to be healthier than they were, so I 349 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 1: would expect that job to be one that is highly contested. 350 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 1: I don't know and have no feel really for which 351 00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 1: way Alex Anthopolis wants to go. What Weiss is certainly 352 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 1: someone who has managed before. He was on Brian Snicker's staff, 353 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: but I don't know that they want to have that 354 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,640 Speaker 1: kind of continuity. They might want to change, and Anthopolis 355 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 1: has not hired a manager in Atlanta. He's had Snicker 356 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: the whole time, so he's going to probably want his 357 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,639 Speaker 1: own guy with his own stamp. That would be my expectation. 358 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:23,919 Speaker 1: Baltimore is another interesting job, and the Orioles, yes, they 359 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 1: have work to do this offseason. They have to reconstruct 360 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 1: virtually their entire bullpen, and more than anything, they need 361 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: to find the top of the rotation starter that they 362 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 1: didn't get last year. It turns out that Trevor Rodgers 363 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: kind of emerged as that guy in the second half 364 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,119 Speaker 1: of the season, and Kyle Bradish is coming back, So 365 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 1: you've got two top of the rotation types kind of 366 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 1: in place, but at the same time they need one 367 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 1: more so that's another interesting job San Francisco as well. 368 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,159 Speaker 1: The Giants have some holes to fill. They've got to 369 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,399 Speaker 1: get better in a number of different areas. But it 370 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: seems like Nick Huntley, the former catcher, is favored for 371 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: that job. And that job two is appealing because Buster Posey, 372 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,160 Speaker 1: as President Baseball Operations is going to want to win. 373 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,439 Speaker 1: So we're gonna see how this all plays out in 374 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 1: the next few weeks. I do expect maybe even more movement, 375 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,160 Speaker 1: especially if the Phillies go out, because then the question 376 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 1: of Rob Thompson would come up. And I know Yankee 377 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 1: fans are waiting, well, if we get swept, what about 378 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,439 Speaker 1: Aaron Boone. I don't see it. I don't see it 379 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: because of the way this is happening. It's not Aaron 380 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 1: Boone's fault that his team is getting pounded here. It 381 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 1: just happens to be that they've run into a hot club. 382 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 1: But we shall see in the days and weeks ahead. 383 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: All right, with that, let's get to grill and can 384 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,479 Speaker 1: first question comes from Richard Proctor, who asks what are 385 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: the chances of any expansion news this offseason? That, Richard, 386 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: actually is a really good question, and I don't know 387 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: the answer to it. So Rob Manfren's position as commissioner 388 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:59,400 Speaker 1: has been the whole time, Wait till Tampa Bay and Sacramento, 389 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,400 Speaker 1: it turns out, now gets resolved, Wait till the two franchises, 390 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 1: the A's and the Rays have their stadium issues all set. 391 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 1: They're not quite there yet, so I would not expect 392 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 1: an announcement this off season. Yes, the A's have a 393 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: plan they're going to Las Vegas. Construction is underway. The 394 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: Rays have new ownership, but they yet or they do 395 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: not yet have a stadium plan in place. So once 396 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,439 Speaker 1: that happens, and I do expect it to happen in 397 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 1: relatively short order, then at that point I would expect 398 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 1: Manford to proceed, But not before that, and maybe not 399 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: before the next round of the labor negotiations because that's 400 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 1: going to take precedence, and the next agreement does not 401 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:40,640 Speaker 1: expire until December one, twenty twenty six. So there's your 402 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: non answer, but I would not expect it to be 403 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 1: this offseason. All right, next question here, This one comes 404 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 1: from Bernie Suarez. Us Is Dave Roberts going to finally 405 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 1: give in and say Sasaki is the closer in this case? 406 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: Bernie I would say it really doesn't matter. Actions will 407 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,159 Speaker 1: speak louder than words, and at some point we're going 408 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,919 Speaker 1: to see Roki Sasaki continue on the way he is 409 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 1: right now as the closer. That's what he is. He 410 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 1: came in last night and closed, even though he wasn't 411 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: the initial choice. So yes, perhaps Dave Roberts says it 412 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 1: today on the off day, Perhaps he says it going 413 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: into the next game. Perhaps he doesn't say it at 414 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 1: all but just keeps using Sasaki that way. What matters 415 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: is that usage, how he actually goes about the late innings, 416 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: And I would expect from here on out we're going 417 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: to see a whole lot of Rokie Susaki closing. All right, 418 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 1: we've got time for one more. I believe, Okay, is 419 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:43,160 Speaker 1: Woodriff going to return for the NLCS? This comes from Drew. 420 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: I would not expect that. I have not heard much 421 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: on him lately, but my understanding was that he was 422 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: problematic for the rest of the postseason. Now not on 423 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 1: that series, and I might not have the freshest updated information, 424 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 1: but I would be surprised if Brandon Woodriff came back 425 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 1: and to shift the conversation a little bit to another injury. 426 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,639 Speaker 1: Bobaschet I was asked about him on FT yesterday and 427 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 1: I said, I don't see him coming back for potential 428 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,640 Speaker 1: alcs because he's still is limping. When I see him 429 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,640 Speaker 1: in the dugout during the games, he's not moving all 430 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 1: that well. So these questions obviously will be answered as 431 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 1: we move forward here. But we will see if we 432 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 1: see either of these guys again in the postseason. All right, 433 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:30,400 Speaker 1: one more question or no, let's see, yes, one more? 434 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,400 Speaker 1: Can we put the postseason format criticisms to bed? From 435 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 1: foul territory? This comes well, yes, at least in this case. 436 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 1: The two teams with the bys actually yeah, two teams 437 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 1: with the byes, the Blue Jays and the Brewers have 438 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: played exceedingly well coming out of those breaks. The Mariners 439 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 1: have done okay, The Phillies have not, but they've run 440 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,399 Speaker 1: into a better club. So I don't know that we 441 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 1: can put it to bed. Each team reacts in a 442 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 1: different way to that layoff. But with the Blue Jays, 443 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,119 Speaker 1: Guerrero has talked quite a bit about this. He's benefited 444 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: from the rest. Other players have as well. The Brewers 445 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 1: perhaps were a bigger surprise in that obviously all players 446 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 1: need rest, but with the style that they play, weren't 447 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 1: sure they could turn it back on again. Yes, they 448 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:20,640 Speaker 1: have turned it back on again. So really, at this point, 449 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 1: at least looking at this postseason small sample size of 450 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,679 Speaker 1: that teams seem to have figured out how to rebound 451 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: from five days off and in some cases clearly it 452 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: has benefited them. All Right, that is it for today's show. 453 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 1: We will be back maybe Thursday, maybe Friday, not exactly 454 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,199 Speaker 1: sure yet, depends on the postseason schedule that show. The 455 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: next one will be with Alana Rizzo in all of 456 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 1: our usual places, YouTube, Apple, Spotify.
