00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 2: You know, the oddest thing I've seen in UH sports

19
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 2: today is on television in front of me.

20
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: DeAndre just doesn't.

21
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: Look right and it Lakers, you're just keeps perplexing me

22
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 2: every time I see him, Like, yeah, okay, that's the thing.

23
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: They're gonna let him wear a Sun's uniform in the

24
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: games count, so you understand he's playing bizarro world. It

25
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: was weird for me when jose Canseco got traded to

26
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: the Rangers, and I'm like, is it Ranger? They gonna

27
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 1: let him wear his A's jersey, because like, come on, man,

28
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: I can identify come that's who he is. That's right,

29
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: that's White Sox, a legend, jose Can jersey. Whatever tav

30
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: he goes to, he wears his as jersey. So Game

31
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: two of the NLCS an absolute dominant pitching performance by

32
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: Yoshinoba Yamamoto on the heels of Blake Snell's eight innings,

33
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: one hit effort the night before, Dodgers winned five to one.

34
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: The only blemish for Yamamoto a leadoff home run in

35
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: the first pitch, and that was it. The Dodgers go

36
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 1: back to LA up two games to none, and the

37
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: final out of Yamamoto's gem sounded like this, He's the

38
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: O two, had a swing at a mess and Yoshi

39
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: Yamamoto with his crown jewel as a Dodger. It is

40
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: a complete game.

41
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 3: He goes the distance, and the Dodgers win Game two

42
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 3: by a score of five to one.

43
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: TBS on the call, and look, we've talked about this

44
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: the last hour, right to pay this off. This is

45
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: going to be terrific. So we said, okay, when's the

46
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: last time in baseball history we've seen back to back

47
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 1: games like this from a team in a series?

48
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 3: Right?

49
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 1: Blake Snell eight innings facing the minimum, because remember the

50
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 1: hit he gave up, he picked the guy off, So okay.

51
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: And then Yamamoto complete game tonight, first complete game for

52
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: the Dodgers in the playoffs since ho'se A Lima in

53
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 1: two thousand and four. This is absolute dominance, right for

54
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 1: both them. Seventeen innings pitched right, four hits, seventeen strikeouts,

55
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: absolutely dominant insanity. We threw this out there, when's the

56
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: last time? And I have some candidates, and then I

57
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: have one that makes you go, oh, that's the best. Okay,

58
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: here we go. So twenty ten World Series Game four,

59
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: Game five, Madison Bumgarner, Tim lincicm okay, okay. Game four,

60
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: Bumgarner eight innings, three hits, no run, six strikeouts. Game five,

61
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: Tim Lincicam eight innings, three hits, one run, ten strikeouts.

62
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: Very very similar, right, very very similar to say, what

63
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: an arm that I had two thousand and one World

64
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: Series Game one in game two, right, because we talked

65
00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: about maybe Shilling and Johnson Shilling Game one seven, three hits,

66
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: one run, eight strikeouts, Randy Johnson Game two complete game

67
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: eleven strikeouts, shut out. Okay, so again very similar, right,

68
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: very similar. Now you had two from your two thousand

69
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: and five.

70
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 2: Years Susy dominated as a whole.

71
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: Take the Yeah, so those are all good. So those

72
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: are all good, right, those are all competitive with with

73
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: this has shows you how good Snell and Yamamoto were.

74
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: We're talking about the twenty ten World Series, the two

75
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: thousand and one World Series. But now I'm going to

76
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: go back to the one where you go, oh, yeah, no,

77
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: this was better. This was better, and I got this,

78
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: and I gotta find that who was on Twitter and

79
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 1: give him credit for it. The nineteen sixty six World

80
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: Series And when he said sixty six, I'm like, oh,

81
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: that was the Orioles sweeping the Dodgers. Here's how dominant

82
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: the Orioles were. Game two, Game three, Game four, Jim

83
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 1: Palmer complete game, six strikeouts, Orioles beat the Dodgers six nothing.

84
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: Game three, guy named Wally Bunker. I mean, come on, man,

85
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 1: that dods a good game, met Orioles pitching staff. But

86
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: I meant Wally Bunker complete game, six strikeouts, no runs.

87
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: They won one nothing. Okay. So that's back to back

88
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 1: complete game shutouts by Jim Palmer and Wally Bunker. Game

89
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: four Dave McNally complete game, four hits, shutout, win, one nothing,

90
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: they win the World Series. That's three complete game shutouts

91
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: in a row in the World Series where the Dodgers

92
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: in twenty seven innings got fourteen hits, six hitter in

93
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: the first game. For it's in the second game, for

94
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: it's in the third game. Uh yeah, okay, there's your

95
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: one right there. Clearly. All the other ones you can argue, Hey,

96
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: maybe Bumgard, Linscam sure, maybe Shilling Johnson, sure, but three

97
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 1: complete game shutouts in a row, four fourteen total hits.

98
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: The only thing the strikeout totals aren't great, but it

99
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. You're talking about complete game shutouts in fourteen

100
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 1: it's in three games. Uh Palmer Bunker McNally, nineteen sixty six.

101
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: That's the last time, Yo, dummy up? Will you thinking?

102
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: That was his post game after night they called him

103
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 2: Archie after Archie, how was your the inspiration for Archie Bunker?

104
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: Eight seven seven? How is your game? Get await me,

105
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: Get await me, get await me. Not liking the media already.

106
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 2: Now I want to go back and look at the

107
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 2: life and times of Wally Bunker. I mean, because I

108
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 2: know everybody else, all their names, you know, from that,

109
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 2: from that Orle's pitching staff. Right, Mike Quaar was there too, right,

110
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 2: one of the greatest pitching staffs is all. Here's Wally

111
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 2: Bunker had nine years in the Major leagues, sixty and

112
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 2: fifty two career record, nineteen wins in nineteen sixty four.

113
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: He played for the Orioles from.

114
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 2: Sixty three to sixty eight, and then three years with

115
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 2: Kansas City, but sixty and fifty two. For the career,

116
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 2: he had thirty four complete games. Yeah, thirty four complete

117
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 2: games in two hundred and six appearances, one hundred and

118
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 2: fifty two starts.

119
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: Now, the one thing that's pretty good, you won every five.

120
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: Just keep going. But now, but now, the one thing

121
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say is that, now, okay, here's three games

122
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: in a row with this kind of dominance, which is

123
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: why it gives it the advantage. But understand that complete games, yes,

124
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: they happened a lot more often back in the sixties, right,

125
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: you had got you had guys that would have fifteen

126
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: or seventeen complete games. That's just that we don't get

127
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: much fear anymore. It's still this pitch. It's still the

128
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: pitching look. And the sixties was the era of the pitcher, right,

129
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: and then they had to change them and then to

130
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: change them out because of Bob Gibson in nineteen sixty

131
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: eight with his one point one seventy era. So, yes,

132
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: the sixties was the era of the pitcher. But this

133
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: is still some kind of dominance where you're talking in

134
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: the World Series three straight shutouts. How many complete games

135
00:07:58,360 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: in the regular season do you think there were?

136
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 2: The sure in the overall overall Okay, hang on, so

137
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 2: third overall Major, I'm gonna say thirty teams.

138
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: Maybe each team averaged between one and two. I'm gonna

139
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: say I'll go into it. I'll say forty five, twenty nine.

140
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 2: Wow, you were twenty twenty four now twenty nine, twenty eight, Hey,

141
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three with they're twenty seven.

142
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't have that data. How do you not

143
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: have that?

144
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 2: How do you have twenty nine and twenty four? We're done,

145
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 2: twenty nine and twenty five, twenty eight and twenty four.

146
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 2: How do you look at twenty twenty three?

147
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: Because the Google machine only gave me those last two.

148
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 2: How about you getting there? No, I don't have that

149
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 2: because it did the comparison those two years. There were

150
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 2: thirty seven in twenty twenty three.

151
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: Thirty seven. I mean you're thirty seven. You're averaging thirty

152
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: seven to in a row. You're averaging one. Each team

153
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 1: is averaging one complete game of season. Look, now, it's

154
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: a big deal when a guy pitches through seven innings

155
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball.

156
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 2: When it started, goes seven innings, right that that's now

157
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 2: the big deal. Twenty eight and twenty twenty two, it's

158
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 2: like one complete game of year by a team. You

159
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 2: saved the bullpen. Okay, yeah, just ridiculous. But it's different

160
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 2: because most teams it's saving the bullpen. For the Dodgers,

161
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 2: it's just we don't want them in the game because

162
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 2: the bullpen is gonna kill us. That's the only thing

163
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 2: that's gonna kill us in this postseason, So we gotta

164
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 2: make sure they don't get in the game the least

165
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 2: amount of guys we can get in the game. Okay, great,

166
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 2: but think about that, right, I mean, we watched it

167
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 2: with Dave Roberts yesterday with Blake Snell, and we questioned

168
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 2: he was over one hundred pitches, right, the imaginary, mythical,

169
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 2: imaginary line, right, don't cross that line?

170
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: Yeah? What happens if I do? And your arm's gonna

171
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: fall off and go into the third deck? I don't know.

172
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 1: But he didn't. He didn't go out.

173
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 2: He brought Sasaki in and Sasaki's control was terrible. Twenty

174
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 2: two pitches, ten, ten strikes, and before you know it,

175
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 2: it's on to Blake Trinon, who was an adventure and

176
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,839
Speaker 2: they get out of it, succeed and proceed. But a

177
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 2: lot of time to then think about if I got

178
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 2: a gain.

179
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: It's really dealing. Do I really want to open that door? Yeah?

180
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: Do I really want to see what's behind door?

181
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 3: Number?

182
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 2: To think about that from the Dodger's perspective, right, just

183
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 2: think about this for a second. Dave Roberts itches to

184
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,719
Speaker 2: go to the bullpench whether it's you know, from high

185
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 2: up to day.

186
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: He doesn't. He doesn't feel like he's doing anything unless

187
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 1: I go to the bullpen, right like Dave Roberts probably

188
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: feels like, dude, I don't even need a postgame shower.

189
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 1: Didn't even manage to it. What did I do? I

190
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: sat there and watch Yamamoto just absolutely deal for nine innings.

191
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: But just think about this. Yamamoto's up at one hundred pitches, right,

192
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: He's up at one hundred pitches. It's a four run lead,

193
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: and you know, I always go back to John Paul Morose,

194
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: who's gonna join us in a few minutes, where he says,

195
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: if you don't have a pitcher in the ninth you

196
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: can bring in the ninth inning that can protect a

197
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 1: three run lead, then quite honestly, they shouldn't be in

198
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: Major League baseball. Okay, shouldn't be in Major League baseball. Oh,

199
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: very right.

200
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 2: Now, you have a day off tomorrow before you go.

201
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 2: Now it's a day game in on Thursday, so yeah,

202
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 2: right eight yeah, so six oh eight eastern.

203
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, but but still you have it.

204
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 2: You have a day off now six oh eight three

205
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 2: h eight six seven six seven six seven.

206
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: Uh so you have a day off. So it doesn't matter.

207
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 1: And still with Yamamoto at one hundred pitches, he didn't

208
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 1: go to the bullpen for someone for three outs with

209
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: a four run lead. Just think about that. Yes, it's

210
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 1: growth from Dave Roberts. Hey, look he's learning, but it's

211
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 1: also knowing. Okay, as much as I like these guys

212
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: and want to say they're my guys, I can't go

213
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: to them unless I have to. I can't go there.

214
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: This is that Dave Roberts should say. Every should have

215
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: something written on each of his hand saying that says

216
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: do I have to do? I not have to write

217
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: when you have to go. This is the Dodgers. When

218
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 1: you have to go to the bullpen, you go to

219
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,719
Speaker 1: the bullpen. If you don't have to go, don't go

220
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: because your bullpen is terrible.

221
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 2: It's Kronk and the Emperor's new Groove with the angel

222
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 2: on one shoulder on the other.

223
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 1: Okay, what do I do?

224
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 2: But a lot of it goes to why why open

225
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 2: the door? Like it's the we ask all the all

226
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 2: the time? Why add variables to things that you don't

227
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 2: need to Right? If the equation is simple, this guy's dealing.

228
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 2: They're not getting a good at bat right, you didn't

229
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 2: see a lot of hard hit balls. It's not like Yamamoto.

230
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,439
Speaker 2: Outside of that ball from Cheerio, that was it. Like

231
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 2: after that pitch, he locked in and that was the

232
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 2: end of it. And so why open the door to

233
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 2: what has been chaotic, especially with a team that all

234
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:23,319
Speaker 2: season long their hallmark was being scrappy, aggressive on the

235
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 2: base pats, working at bats, and they didn't do any

236
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 2: of that. Right, So right now you've got them the

237
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 2: proverbial where you want them, not just because you're up

238
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 2: to nothing, but even within those games, they didn't stretch

239
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 2: at bats. They didn't you know, go up there and

240
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 2: just say, all right, I may not get a hit,

241
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 2: but I'm gonna have an eight pitch at bat.

242
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 1: It was none of that.

243
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 2: It was they were still going up, you know, get

244
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 2: them on, get them over, get them in. As their

245
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 2: mo all year talked about one hundred plus one seventy

246
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 2: four in terms of run differential and the most wins

247
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 2: in Major League Baseball, and a lot of that was

248
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 2: stationed to station and being aggressive on the bass pass.

249
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 2: Guess what didn't find the base pass control was good?

250
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 2: What was in eighty eighty one strikes to thirty balls

251
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 2: or whatever for the night.

252
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: I again, what are you gonna do? So for Dave Roberts,

253
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: he didn't go to that temptation.

254
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:15,719
Speaker 2: Man.

255
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: He left it behind. Exit out, out of Fresco, Exit

256
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 1: swollen dom. I'm proud of Dave Roberts for not managing

257
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: Big Day. I'm proud of him for not managing He

258
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: sat there.

259
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 2: Now he looked a lot happier than Murphy did, because

260
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 2: every shot of him, it looked like.

261
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: Do you think we'll forgeta seeing. There's gonna be video

262
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 1: we find later where Roberts is just tied to the

263
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 1: dugout steps and like they won't let him move. No, no, no,

264
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 1: we're sticking with you. There will be no call to

265
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,719
Speaker 1: the play. Snell is just taping him to the to

266
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: the dugout. Yeah, he's like on a pole trying to

267
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: get on it. He'll let me go back out there yesterday,

268

00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: He is longtime friend of the show network insider extraordinaire.

310
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: You can follow him on Twitter at John Morosi. It

311
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: is the Pope, John Paul Morosi, John Paul Happy tidings.

312
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: Welcome to Seattle. Did you get a coffee yet?

313
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 3: No coffee is yet, my friends, because as you well know,

314
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 3: it is nine to twenty two Pacific time. So I'm

315
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 3: going to just I'm hoping that at some point I'm

316
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 3: able to reacclimate my circadian rhythms to this beautiful coast

317
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 3: that is your home. And I did though. In the

318
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 3: journey that I had Wes, I learned a bit of

319
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 3: the tales of the legend of Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and so

320
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 3: I am well acquainted with what has transpired in Milwaukee

321
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 3: this evening. And I think a night like this, my friends,

322
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 3: require some historical context, because what a performance by Yoshi.

323
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: Well, we went back, John Paul. We've done this over

324
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: the course of the past hour and a half, and

325
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: the show's been a really fun thing. The last time

326
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 1: you've seen back to back starts like this in playoff

327
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 1: history with Snell and Yamamoto. And the only thing that

328
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: beats it is you got to go back to the

329
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty six World Series when the Orioles shut out

330
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: the Dodgers the last three games. Palmer and somebody named

331
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 1: Wally Bunker and Dave McNally six, nothing won, nothing won,

332
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 1: nothing like that's the last time we've seen something more

333
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: than this dominant in the play. There's other closer ones.

334
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: You know, we got the Diamondbacks in two thousand and one,

335
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: the Giants in twenty ten. That is, that is, you know,

336
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: neck and neck with this. But the last time something

337
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: like this you got to go back to nineteen sixty six.

338
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 3: Right, Well, I'm I'm intrigued. And the one the one

339
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 3: that I would ask and maybe Mike can have a

340
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 3: thought on this. The White Sox rotation in the ALCS

341
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 3: five was quite was quite good. Maybe not quite on

342
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 3: this level, but that was the backbone of how they

343
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 3: were able to beat the Angels there in those five games.

344
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 3: But let's be clear, I mean this is this is

345
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 3: now a generational and a rotation.

346
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: This is a generation Wait wait, wait where are you?

347
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: John Paula? You and Seattle? Are you in Italy? Where

348
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: are you?

349
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 2: What was that?

350
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 3: No, I'm I'm in Seattle. I was just I was

351
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 3: just getting getting out of the cab.

352
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: You think the cabby and Italian? I don't know. That

353
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: was Spanish, Spanish, Spanish. It was very fast, very fast.

354
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,959
Speaker 5: Okay, wow, Yeah, that's that's you know, I mean, uh,

355
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 5: that's that is that I have found, as a traveler

356
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 5: and lover of languages, that that cab rides are are

357
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 5: a wonderful time to practice like.

358
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 3: So hence that was that was me contemplating, uh, whether

359
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 3: I will place Yamamoto and Snell in the state conversations

360
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 3: John Parland and Jose Contreras while I was getting out

361
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 3: of the cap.

362
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 1: No, I'm impressed. I can't believe I didn't know you

363
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 1: were fluent in Spanish as well, So Spanish and Italian.

364
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 3: I'm I'm probably better in Spanish lanm in Italian. My

365
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,959
Speaker 3: Italian is is passable. I mean, I would describe myself

366
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 3: as as not as not fully fluent in either. But

367
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:10,959
Speaker 3: I have considerably more practice speaking Spanish in my day

368
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 3: to day job than I do speaking Italian. Now, is

369
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 3: there a dream of mine that at some point in

370
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 3: time that Major League Baseball will will have this influx

371
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 3: of amazing Italian talent and I'll be able to do

372
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 3: Italian interviews every day. That may be somewhere in the

373
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 3: recesses of my mind, but I'll tell you what, I'm

374
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 3: not to cover ball for a long time before that happens.

375
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 3: I think that's that's what I'm to do. But but no,

376
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 3: I'm grateful to speak both. We try at our house

377
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 3: to have both both four languages going as well, and so, yeah,

378
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 3: it's part of a part of the journeys. I appreciate

379
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 3: your interesting.

380
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I figured you were going to go straight into

381
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 2: Oceans eleven too. He's working on his Japanese. I hear

382
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 2: he's getting pretty good at it too.

383
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 3: I'll tell you this, I had, through through covering baseball

384
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 3: around the world, having been in Japan twice, I have

385
00:19:55,720 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 3: I have learned how to how to congratulate uh tokuz Imasu.

386
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 3: I learned to say a couple of different times beating

387
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 3: great performance. And I think that that the greeting is

388
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 3: certainly in order based on the way the Alma motive

389
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 3: is share today.

390
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do appreciate you bringing up the the two

391
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 2: thousand and five white Socks, Burley and Garland and Andrera's.

392
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 3: And Pardi Garcia. I mean, I mean that was check

393
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 3: go back and just check what that rotation did in

394
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 3: the five alcs. I'm not gonna probably now where any

395
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 3: of those guys throwing ninety two mile an hour splitters

396
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 3: that moved like three feet like the last pitch Dandard

397
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 3: Vaughan probably not. And Sell was unbelievable yesterday. Sell stuff again,

398
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 3: probably a little more overwhelming than Burley stuff, if we're

399
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 3: being accurate. But but this just shows you when when

400
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 3: elite talents like the Dodgers have many have have time

401
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,479
Speaker 3: to really hone in and prepare for these very very

402
00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 3: big starts. It's just the results are are and credit

403
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 3: Dave Roberts. I mean, there's there's a lot of managers

404
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 3: now that would that that would maybe have pulled him

405
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 3: at one hundred pitches or had some kind of a

406
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 3: formula to get him out of the game. I think

407
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 3: that Dave and Mark Bryer had the had the presence

408
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 3: of mind to say, you know what, look at what

409
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 3: our guys doing. Look how dominant he is. I am

410
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 3: in no rush to get this guy out of the

411
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 3: ball game. I mean, that's to me, that combination of stuff.

412
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 3: When you're when you're quote unquote breaking pitch is a

413
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 3: ninety two mile hour splitter that moves like three feet,

414
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 3: it seems like it's just it's not fair. That's that's

415
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 3: what I was saying. I mean, he's allowed the grace

416
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 3: of one mistake to Suio to begin the game, and

417
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 3: then it's just sheer dominance after that. And you know,

418
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 3: maybe the Brewers big chance would have been last night

419
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 3: when Sasaki wobbled a little bit in the ninth inning

420
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 3: and Trina was able to somehow get the last out.

421
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 3: It's but this Dodger team looks awfully dominant and and

422
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 3: today I think was a of how you win at

423
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 3: postseason games. Some early power pies as an RBI single

424
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 3: Otani does too. You get the big homer from Taskar,

425
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 3: and then Monthy he gets on the board too. It's

426
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 3: just that was a clinic of some small ball and

427
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 3: some big ball there for the Los Angeles Dodge.

428
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 2: Just amazing, though, JP, with all the pitching dominance, how

429
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 2: much we might be talking about a much different world

430
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 2: if Duranon just takes one for the team.

431
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 3: Well, and that's a great point, and I appreciate bringing

432
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 3: it up, but I think it's certainly something that people

433
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 3: have have debated a little bit in the last twenty

434
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 3: four hours. Here's where I'm out on that. That is,

435
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 3: that is a case of human instinct. That is, you know,

436
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 3: if you're Bryce Terrangue in that situation. I don't think

437
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 3: in any way, shape or form, you have it on

438
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 3: your bingo car that hey, I want to in this

439
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 3: moment give myself up and get kit. I think the

440
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 3: idea is I'm going to come through my team. Uh,

441
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 3: this is my plan of attack to hit the ball.

442
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 3: And again, I just I think that is a momentary reaction.

443
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 3: That that that's almost like blaming, blaming me if my

444
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 3: eyes are half closed in a picture, which happens half

445
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 3: the time, so so like it's just like that's like

446
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,199
Speaker 3: a natural It's like a blink of a human reaction.

447
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 3: Same thing for Terang. I will never criticize them for it,

448
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 3: even though is it is it the reality that if

449
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 3: you've been hit at the different story, Yeah, it probably is.

450
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 3: But that's just kind of like a momentary flinch for

451
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 3: which I don't think any human could be expected to,

452
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 3: uh to execute in the moment.

453
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 1: Well, here's a disagree with you, John paul Is. I've

454
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 1: taken a lot of pictures and I see the blame

455
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: that happens when someone doesn't have their eyes open. Come on,

456
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: keep your eyes open. Not you have seen that many times.

457
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: I've seen that a lot.

458
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 3: Here here's my thought along those lines. This is just

459
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 3: a thought that I have that these are the things

460
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 3: I think about on these long flights across our contests,

461
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 3: like how much how much bandwidth? How how many? How many?

462
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 3: Does does this even matter? By the way, how many

463
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 3: pieces of the cloud are currently occupied by like eight

464
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 3: duplicates of the same photo that we're all taken by

465
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 3: somebody saying Okay, is this good? This good? We get it,

466
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 3: we get it, we get it's like eight, Like is

467
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 3: there not enough AI in the world that would just

468
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 3: like shrink all of that? And then what everybody's what

469
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 3: everybody's wireless network? Like function a couple and bps is better?

470
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 3: That's that's an abbreviation. That's the things I think about

471
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 3: is that that may or may not be the actual

472
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 3: technical abbreviation. But I just wonder how many how many

473
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 3: little bits of of of memory are being saved by

474
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 3: like the eight ex duplicates of the same picture that

475
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 3: you never are actually going to turn out anyway, So

476
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 3: why do we even take them? That's what I'm gonna ask.

477
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: Wow, you should do a TED talk on that. You're

478
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: in Seattle. You can talk to guys like Bill Gates

479
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 1: and everybody and say listen. I got an idea.

480
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 3: I've heard, I've heard there there have been a couple

481
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 3: of companies that have been founded here that are dedicated

482
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 3: to this.

483
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 2: Now you said bp to not BTS not going into

484
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 2: your music list, right, No, no, no, no.

485
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 3: That's no, that's like is that like? Now that's NAPSU Right,

486
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 3: naps You're.

487
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 1: Still thing is yeah, nas ripping songs and put you

488
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 1: Absolutely Napster's the thing. John Paul Network inside of John

489
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 1: Paul Morosi. Our guest here, Jason Smith, Mike Harmon, live

490
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 1: from the Fox Sports Radio studios. All right, you're there

491
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: for the Alcs. Look, this is the biggest question. You

492
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: now have two teams going home up to ZIP. Is

493
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 1: there anything that's stopping us from a Dodgers Mariners World Series?

494
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 3: Sure? I still think that, First of all, we have

495
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 3: not seen the best of the Blue Jays yet. I

496
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 3: think on the National League side, the Brewers, I mean

497
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 3: it's gonna be a challenge. I mean they've got to

498
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 3: go win the series in LA, and the Dodgers are

499
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 3: looking as as overpowering as can be. I think there's

500
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 3: probably a better chance of a comeback on the American

501
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 3: League side than there is on the on the National

502
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 3: League side, the Jays, they're just they're a better team

503
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 3: than they've showed the last couple of days. They're just

504
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 3: they're just better. Uh. Now the Adle's playing phenomenally well,

505
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 3: and actually now the pitching matchup probably in some ways

506
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 3: favor the Addle in the next couple of games too.

507
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 3: You're you're hoping that Shane Bieber can wind it back,

508
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 3: and you're opening that Max Suers that can wind it back.

509
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 3: Maybe that's asking a bit too much, uh, but you're

510
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 3: asking Vladimir Guerrero Junior to just be himself. The one

511
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 3: thing I will say though, is that the bill might

512
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 3: finally be coming due for the Jays in the sense

513
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 3: that they they are now feeling the absence of Bob

514
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 3: Bachet in a way they weren't before. H when when

515
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 3: the rest of lineup was was producing, you could maybe

516
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 3: get by without Bow. But now there's no bow. And

517
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 3: then Anthony Santan there in the last game was not

518
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 3: able to play because of the back issue. So there's

519
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 3: the injuries are and the concerns are compounding on the

520
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 3: on the Toronto side, But I still see more offensive

521
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,719
Speaker 3: upside in the Blue Jays than I do with the Brewers,

522
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 3: so I think probably the Dodgers will be the nationalau

523
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 3: champions again. But I'm looking at the series I'm covering

524
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 3: here and saying there's a path for the Jays to

525
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 3: at least get this series back to Tronal for a

526
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 3: game six, and at that point in time anything can happen.

527
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 2: Oddsmakers giving the Blue Jays a fifteen percent implied odds

528
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 2: right now to come back and win it, whereas the

529
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 2: Dodgers sitting at ninety four percent probability based on the

530
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 2: odds as they sit right now.

531
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 1: JP.

532
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 2: Let me go back to the Dave Roberts side of

533
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 2: things for a moment in the NLCS. Do you think

534
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 2: last night may may have spooked him a bit to

535
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 2: where he didn't want to go to the pen with

536
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 2: Yamamodo going free and easy.

537
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's possible. I think it was probably both.

538
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 3: To be honest with you, the Dodgers are very savvy

539
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 3: in terms of how they manage the workloads of their pictures,

540
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:02,199
Speaker 3: and Rokie, after struggling with his command and throwing as

541
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 3: many pitches as he did last night, I don't think

542
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 3: Dave Roberts was in any rush to get him into

543
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 3: the game. Let's put it that way. And and the

544
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 3: Dodger bullpen has been a bit of a riddle for

545
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 3: them for a long time. And so I think now

546
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 3: it's amazing. And how about this for a script that

547
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 3: has flipped. The Dodgers used to be this team that

548
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 3: almost never let their starters go deep, and now they've

549
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 3: done it. And back to that game, I think that

550
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 3: that is maybe the personnel changing. That might also be

551
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 3: Dave Roberts evolving a little bit. But I think that's

552
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 3: that's a great observation by you, Mike, that that there's

553
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 3: that maybe some of the bullpen worries were weighing into it.

554
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 3: But I also think that maybe the calculus has changed

555
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 3: a little and how and how they look at the

556
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 3: disparity between the quality of their starters and the quality

557
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 3: of their options in the pen. After dealing with injuries

558
00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 3: and times where whether it was Clayton or others, that

559
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 3: maybe they were trying to not take deep as deep

560
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:06,239
Speaker 3: in the games, And thinking about all those times by

561
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 3: the way that rich Hill was pulled before he thought

562
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 3: he should have been pulled, I mean, that was that

563
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 3: was a story in October, year after year after year.

564
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 3: I think the philosophy is different, but also, let's be honest,

565
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 3: the personnel is different. Rich Hill.

566
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: I love Rich Hill.

567
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 3: Rich Hill was not throwing like Blake Snell's pitching last night.

568
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 3: It's different, a different kind of the pitcher. And they

569
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 3: have right now two cy young types in Snell and

570
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 3: Yamamono that are really at the peak of their powers.

571
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 3: And and by the way, we haven't even you know,

572
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 3: Tony pitch yet, but this is in this series, so

573
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 3: there's just there's a lot. There's just a lot of firepower.

574
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 3: Now for the Dodgers, it's going to be hard to be.

575
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: You can fall him on Twitter at John Morosi, That

576
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: is at John Morossi, MLB Network Insider in Seattle for

577
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 1: the Alcs. John Paul will talk to you later on

578
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: this week. We'll get your lines picked this week. Again,

579
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: you were right on with the Chiefs.

580
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 2: I know it's hard to go back to Michigan after

581
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 2: making that pick, but uh, do you think he went

582
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 2: straight to Seattle. The NFL pundit that you are is

583
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 2: really I mean it as well. I gotta admit Italy,

584
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 2: NFL you can do.

585
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: It all, man.

586
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 3: If I'm not mistaken, I think I am actually so

587
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 3: the Lions might be foreign to this year, but I'm six,

588
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 3: and oh yeah, I think you are about I mean,

589
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 3: there you go. That's not bad. I mean again, it's

590
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 3: not exactly a leap of faith and say, hey, I've

591
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 3: heard the Keansby Keeps are a pretty good football team, like.

592
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 5: We know that.

593
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 3: But but I'm I'm actually pretty proud of myself. Next

594
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 3: with picks. I mean, I probably should have a different

595
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 3: vocation at this point.

596
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: The only thing you can't do is have a cup

597
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: of coffee at nine o'clock at night. It is John Paul,

598
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: and I cannot do that.

599
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 3: Will got to make sure that.

600
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: John Paul just wait ten years till you're my age.

601
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden I can have a cup

602
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 1: of coffee at nine o'clock. Just wait, just wait a

Speaker 3: My dad, My dad is in his seventies and he

00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 6: After it's Steve to say, yeah, guys. For the Dodgers,

618
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 6: this was ball game number one seventy tonight. This was

619
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 6: their first complete game of the year. ELA is up

620
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 6: two games to none in the NLCS after winning five

621
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 6: to one at top seeded Milwaukee. So the Dodgers are

622
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 6: the first team ever to not throw a complete game

623
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 6: regular season and then throw one in a victory that postseason.

624
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 6: And you referenced the White Sox starting staff in that

625
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 6: ALCS against the Angels twenty years ago. What we've gotten

626
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 6: from the Dodger starters these first two nights of the

627
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 6: series seventeen total innings. The White Sox got seventeen and

628
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 6: a third that year to start the series against the

629
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 6: Halos from Jose Contreras and Mark Burley. But if you

630
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 6: go back the last three LA starts, the clincher against

631
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 6: Philadelphia last week with Tyler Glasnow. These last three LA starts,

632
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 6: the starting pitchers have allowed six hits total six for

633
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 6: seventy five at the plate against them, an eighty batting average,

634
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 6: and Glass Now will be back on the hill Thursday

635
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 6: afternoon for Game three hosting Milwaukee. The Dodgers did, by

636
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 6: the way, go not only seventeen innings from starters the

637
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 6: first two games, but back in nineteen eighty one they

638
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 6: had that and only one run aloud total. There was

639
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 6: a first round series nineteen eighty one Dodgers Houston. Each

640
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 6: team did that against the other. Dodgers had Fernando Venezuela,

641
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 6: Jerry Royce going up against Nolan Ryan of Houston, and

642
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 6: Joe Nicro. So it's been a while since we've seen

643
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 6: this kind of pitching back to back in the postseason,

644
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 6: and now it's an O two hole for the top

645
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 6: seeded team in the National League. And history is not

646
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 6: on their side because in the last forty years since

647
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 6: nineteen eighty five, only three teams have been down two

648
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 6: in a best of seven in the LCS and come

649
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 6: back to win it. The Dodgers were one of those

650
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 6: teams in twenty twenty, but to take a two to

651
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 6: zero lead on the road. That's an especial strangled hold historically.

652
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 6: In fact, I saw this stat today with the nineteen

653
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 6: eighty six Mets. Remember they lost the first two at

654
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 6: home and they came back to win the World Series

655
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 6: in seven. Since nineteen eighty six, it's only happened once

656
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 6: where a team lost the first two at home and

657
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 6: a best of seven came back. That was the Yankees

658
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 6: nineteen ninety six. Remember they were almost down three games

659
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 6: to note against the Braves and still came back late.

660
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 1: Hit that big home Jim Lairetz.

661
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, I hit that big home run absolutely, so you

662
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 6: know there are still games to play. But wow, what

663
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 6: have we seen from the Dodgers starting pitching these first

664
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 6: two nights. It was a complete Game three hit from

665
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 6: tonight's winner Yoshinobu Yamamoto. The alcs is off Mariners won

666
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 6: the first two on the road. They lead to ozer

667
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,879
Speaker 6: in the series against Toronto. Game three on FS one

668
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 6: in Seattle on Wednesday night in the NHL eight games total,

669
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 6: including an overtime win for Montreal against Seattle, an overtime

670
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 6: win for Washington against Tampa Bay, Edmonton a two nothing

671
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 6: winner at the Rangers. The New York Rangers have been

672
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,320
Speaker 6: shut out in their first three home games of the season.

673
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 6: That has not happened before.

674
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 1: They're the Jets of hockey Steve stay tuned.

675
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 6: They're getting influenced. The Ducks at Homer tied with Pittsburgh

00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 6: three to three early third period. The Dallas Mavericks gave

677

Speaker 1: of stories, double up. But tonight we had the preseason

704
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 1: debut of Skinny Luca. Oh, I thought you were the Lakers.

705
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 2: I thought it was all about DeAndre Ayton, Skinny Luca

706
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,320
Speaker 2: or lay up missing Bronni James.

707
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:27,839
Speaker 1: Well, that's gonna happen. But you saw the pictures all

708
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:29,720
Speaker 1: off season. Is he really this skinny?

709
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 3: Is he not?

710
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 1: Luka donci is clearly showing that he has taken care

711
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: of his body in the off season again. And we

712
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 1: and we we got into this during the trade, which

713
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 1: is you know, this is one of those things where

714
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 1: it's gonna wind up looking bad for the Mavericks because

715
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 1: with the Mavericks, Luca had been calling the shots. He

716
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 1: doesn't have to get into shape, right, I'm the franchise here.

717
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: I don't need to get into shape. He was never

718
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,720
Speaker 1: gonna do that, which is part of why the Mavericks

719
00:36:57,800 --> 00:36:59,919
Speaker 1: soured on him, got rid of him a year early

720
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: before they weren't gonna sign him. They make the trade

721
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 1: for Anthony Davis. And when that happened, I said, boy,

722
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: this is gonna this is gonna suck for Nico Harrison

723
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 1: because Lucas going to get to the Lakers and realize,

724
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: oh man, I just found my way out of where

725
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:15,839
Speaker 1: I thought I was gonna play my entire career. Where

726
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 1: I was I was the king of Dallas. Yeah, let's

727
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 1: get rid of this guy and bring in a guy

728
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 1: who can't stand out of the corn. But sure, and

729
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: now I need to make sure I'm straightening up and

730
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 1: flying right because I want that big contract. It's a

731
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 1: big it's a big spotlight on me now in Los Angeles.

732
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: So I knew he's going to take care of his body,

733
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 1: and clearly he did, because you saw him tonight looked

734
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:40,840
Speaker 1: like a guy that is ready to come out and

735
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: have a big middle finger tour to the rest of

736
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 1: the NBA. Oh, you thought I was pudgying out of shape,

737
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 1: and I was, and you thought that I couldn't do it. Here,

738
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:52,720
Speaker 1: I come watch the season that I have with the Lakers,

739
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 1: whether Lebron plays or not, I will carry us, just

740
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:57,800
Speaker 1: like I did with the Mavericks when it was me

741
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 1: and a bunch of guys. Minutes for Luca tonight, they

742
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: lose to the Suns one thirteen, one oh four, but

743
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: it's preseason. Everybody's playing about twenty minutes. In twenty two minutes,

744
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 1: Luca twenty five points, seven rebounds, and four assists, including

745
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:17,720
Speaker 1: this one, his first bucket of the season. Not playing

746
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 1: this season, Luca back at forth. Now watch good luck

747
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: with that, and he's gonna score one. He had no

748
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: chance against the dun Billy Mack on Lakers TV with

749
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: the call. That was the kind of night it was

750
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 1: for Luca. Look, Austin rees Is terrific tonight as well,

751
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 1: he had twenty five points. It was really Luca and Austin. Look, obviously,

752
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 1: no Lebron, James, Ruyja Chimora didn't play. You know, they

753
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,879
Speaker 1: played some of their guys. But I'm telling you there's

754
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: something to be said about motivation following the trade. And

755
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: while Luca it took him a little while. I'm sure

756
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:51,320
Speaker 1: his head was spinning that I got traded middle of

757
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 1: the season. Looking was it took a while for us

758
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 1: to get used to wow lucas a Laker? What the hell?

759
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:58,760
Speaker 1: Man didn't go the way the end of the season

760
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,919
Speaker 1: they expected? Clearly you saw Luca. Is he in shape?

761
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: What has he playing a lot of minutes? Is he

762
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 1: able to play all these minutes? Coming off the injury

763
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,839
Speaker 1: last year? I get all of it, but I knew

764
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 1: coming off of that we're gonna into this season it's

765
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 1: gonna be the Luka doncich Oh. You think that I'm

766
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 1: I'm past my prime and i can't do what I

767
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 1: used to do, and I'm out of shape, and I'm

768
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 1: and I'm worrying too much about all right, you just watch.

769
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 1: This is gonna be some kind of of season for Luka.

770
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,160
