That a much more. Let's go 12 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,519 Speaker 1: to lead off. It's getting robbed and keep him on. 13 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: Rob's hot take on the three biggest stories in Major 14 00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: League Baseball Number one, Oh my, what a baseball plethora. 15 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:09,119 Speaker 1: On Wednesday, eight playoff games. Just just a smorgage board 16 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: of games to watch action to uh taking. It was incredible, 17 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: But unfortunately for the Minnesota Twins and their fans, it 18 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 1: was the same old, same old story. The Twins were 19 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: swept by the Houston Astros. The Twins of now laws, 20 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 1: are you ready for this? Hold onto your Bonnet. Eighteen 21 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 1: in a row. It's a North American sports record. A 22 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: team playoff games in a row more than any NHL team, 23 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:46,279 Speaker 1: NBA team, NFL team. I mean, they are in first 24 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: place by themselves with the record of eighteen in a row, 25 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: and it is just just embarrassing. I mean, they played 26 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: well down the stretch, won the division out of nowhere 27 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: when it looked like they weren't going to win the division, 28 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: had the home series and then only wound up scoring 29 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:10,279 Speaker 1: two runs and their bats just went totally silent. The Astros, 30 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: who just didn't look like a good team, actually came 31 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: into the series two games under five hundred and they 32 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: sweep them. So here we are again. If you're a 33 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: Twins fan, you know what, you might as well cry 34 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: in your beer because they just seem like no matter 35 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 1: what team has put together, how polling their offenses, who's 36 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: pitching for them, who's the manager, none of it seems 37 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: the matter. They keep losing. Number two say it isn't so, Yes, 38 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 1: the most hated team in Baseball America that Houston Astros 39 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: are moving on. They didn't even have a winning record, 40 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: Go look at the stats are too. They had a 41 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 1: terrible year George Springer struggled. They didn't have Garrett Cole, 42 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: who of course went to the Yankees in their rotation. 43 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: Rolando was heard the did what the cheating scandal. They 44 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: were berated and embarrassed and talked about and scolded by 45 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: all the players and the fans of Major League Baseball. 46 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: They they luckily backed their way into the playoffs. Everybody 47 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 1: thought maybe the Twins would beat them and that would 48 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: be the end of the Houston Astros. He wouldn't have 49 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: to see them or hear from them again, and that 50 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: they basically got off scott free because they didn't have 51 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: the faith the wrath of fans. But no, they're moving 52 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: on to the division series. So the Astros are going 53 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: anywhere anytime soon. They advanced and they continued to rub 54 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: it in the fans the face of baseball fans number three. 55 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: It's been an incredible ride so far for the Miami Marlins, 56 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: who won Game one of their best of three wild 57 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: Card series against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley on Wednesday. 58 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: And the Marlins, when you think about how the season 59 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 1: started for them with the COVID they had uh eight 60 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: team players test positive and to think that they they 61 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,479 Speaker 1: couldn't play games early on. The outbreak derailed their season. 62 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: Coming into the season, they were twenty to one. Uh 63 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: that those were the odds of them making the playoffs. 64 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: You know, Derek Jeter has been ripped up and down 65 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: about all the moves, how they've gotten rid of the 66 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 1: big stars that the Marlins had and all these young kids. 67 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 1: They've used sixty one players this year on their roster 68 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 1: because of the COVID and because of other things and injuries, 69 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: and they just had to keep digging. It tells you 70 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: how deep their farm system is. But there they are 71 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 1: with a chance to advance and knock off the Cubs, 72 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: you know, after their Game one victory, And you gotta 73 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: give Jeter some credit because he was getting all the blame. 74 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: And the one thing about the Marlins, don't poo poo them. 75 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,159 Speaker 1: The last two times they've been in the playoffs, they've 76 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: won the World Series each time. Yes, indeed they have. 77 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 1: Here comes the big interview. Listen and Larry, All right, now, 78 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: let's welcome to the program former Houston Astros manager Bo Porter, 79 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,679 Speaker 1: who has a new project we want to hear about 80 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 1: called Core Magazine. He's also a baseball analyst for the 81 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 1: Washington Nationals. Hey Bo, Welcome to the podcast. Rob, Thank 82 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: you so much for having me on. I've always always 83 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 1: a pleasure to be able to sit and talk baseball 84 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 1: in sports with with you, no doubt. Let's just go 85 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: real quick. The the indiego Padres, you know, made the 86 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 1: playoffs a great exciting story, and then they get bad news. 87 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: They're as Mike Clevinger, who they got from the Indians 88 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: couldn't pitch, is off the wild card roster. They put 89 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,679 Speaker 1: in Chris Paddock, who gets beat up in the first 90 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: in and how devastating is that not to be able 91 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: to have your ace go in game one? Well, that's 92 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,599 Speaker 1: that's shocking news. I mean, whenever you look at, you know, 93 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: teams that have good seasons and you think about the 94 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: guy that you from a standpoint of being confident every 95 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: time they take the ball, it's a confidence, it's a 96 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: competence boost to the ball club when you have your 97 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: eights on the mountain. And when you lose that component, 98 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 1: it's in shockwaves throughout the ball club. Speaking of pitching, 99 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: let's get there. Tampa Bay. A lot of people like 100 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. A lot of people think they're gonna get 101 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: to the World Series. We know about Snell, their their 102 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: race and they're pitching. How good is there pitching and 103 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: is it good enough to get them to the World Series? Well, one, 104 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: I think it is good enough. And when you look 105 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: at Tampa Bay, the strength of their pitching is the 106 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 1: deputy and it's not just the dep When you look 107 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: at this starters and they're unconventional at the same time, 108 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: meaning they're not afraid to use the opener. It's all 109 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: about matchups and they have one of the best bull 110 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: page in all the baseball. Our guest is Bo Porter, 111 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: former Houston Astros manager and MLB analysts. Let's talk about 112 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: the Oakland A's. They lost game one of the playoffs 113 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: and for years bow when they got in a lot 114 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: of times they win in as a wild card and 115 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: they only have that one game and they wind up 116 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: getting knocked out in the playoffs. They finally win the 117 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: West and and if there would have been a one 118 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: game wild card, they would have been out because they 119 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: lost game one, but they bounced back in game two. 120 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: How good at the Oakland A's And uh, having a 121 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: series finally looks like it might help them out. Yes, 122 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: I think you know, having a series is definitely gonna 123 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: helped them out. And when you look at the win 124 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: a's in the White Sox, I think this is by 125 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: far is the best matchup in the first round of 126 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: the playoffs. And either one of these teams, whether it's 127 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: whether it's the White Sox or whether it's the Oakland Eights, 128 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: either one of them can run the table to the 129 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: World Series. But I think Oakland built a roster a 130 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: little bit different this time. I think this rochster is 131 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: actually built for the long haul and I have them 132 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: coming out of this series against the against the White 133 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: Sox and being able to advance. Let's talk about advancing. 134 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: And there's one team and we all know the Los 135 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: Angeles Dodgers are stacked. There were forty three and sevent 136 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:41,559 Speaker 1: team by far the best team in baseball record wise. Uh, both, 137 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: Do they have to win? The Dodgers haven't won a 138 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:48,439 Speaker 1: World Series since and they've also when you look at it, 139 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: been the World Series two of the last three years 140 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: and haven't been able to win. Do they need to 141 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: win this year? Um? I've never one rock that's a 142 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: World Series or bus because I realized just how hard 143 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: it is to win the World Series. And when you 144 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: look at the Los Angeles Dodgers and the tremendous success 145 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 1: in which they've had, you know, on this on this 146 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: run in which they've been on, I would say that 147 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: this is the team that has been best suited to 148 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: win the World Series. I think that they're more balanced 149 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: now when they when they added Mookie Betts and they 150 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: went from a you know, left handed dominant line up 151 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: to where now they have the balance that they've been 152 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: missing when you add Mookie Betts into that lineup with 153 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: Justin Turner and the other guys that they have. So 154 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: I think when you look over the course of you know, 155 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 1: the success in which the Dodgers have have enjoyed, I 156 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: believe that this roster is the best roster that they've 157 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: taken into the postseason. Let's talk about the Brewers. Who 158 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: are they're facing. The Brewers were under five hundred Christian 159 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: Yellow Struggle. No Lorenzo Caine, uh he opted out during 160 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: the season. They were twenty nine and do they have 161 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: any shot at beating the Dodgers? Well, they do. I 162 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: mean when you look at the that's why you play 163 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 1: the games, and the games are not one on paper. 164 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: I believe the Dodgers are the better team. I believe 165 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: that the Dodgers are gonna come out of this series, 166 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: but they won't come out of this series if they 167 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,199 Speaker 1: take the Brewers lightly. If they come out and they 168 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: take care of business, I believe that they should be 169 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: able to advance against the Brewers in two games.

It's time for the Pocket Protector Centro. 198 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 1: The analytic numbers you need to know? Well, maybe Anthony 199 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 1: Masterson is his name, BS, analytics is his game. What 200 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: do you got from me, Anthony? Well, the regular season 201 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: is in the books and it was historic, if not 202 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: wildly unorthodox. The Champs finished in last the Marlins during 203 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Wn Soto posted the highest ops for any 204 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: player under twenty two in MLB history. But I'm hear 205 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: to talking about Shane Bieber again. Yes, the Indians ACE 206 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: will likely lock up the Cy Young, probably unanimously by 207 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: virtue of winning the pitching Triple Crown. Leading the league 208 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: in wins, e r A and strikeouts. Bieble was so 209 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: good he didn't just leave the a L in those categories. 210 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: He lied all of baseball, something that has not been 211 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: done since Johan Santana did so for the Twins in 212 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: two thousand and six. Looking even farther back, the previous 213 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 1: American League pitcher to lead all of baseball in those 214 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: categories was the Tigers how Newhouser back in n now. 215 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: Bieble became the fastest player to reach one strikeouts in 216 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,439 Speaker 1: the season, doing so in just sixty two and the 217 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: third inning, and his fourteen point to k for nine 218 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: set another all time mark best in Garrett Cole's number 219 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,199 Speaker 1: from last season. His one point six three e r 220 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: A was the lowest by an a L pitcher since 221 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: they lowered the mound in nineteen sixty nine to make 222 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,679 Speaker 1: it easier on the hitters. And there we go the analytics. 223 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: His e r A plus, which takes league and ballpark 224 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: into account, and every number over one hundred a percentage 225 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: point better than the average was a monstrous to eighty one. 226 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: That means he was one eighty one percent better than 227 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,439 Speaker 1: league average, and that number was only eclipse by Pedro 228 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 1: Martinez back in two thousand. So even though it was 229 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,559 Speaker 1: only twelve starts, it was one of the most remarkable 230 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: seasons for a pitcher in MLB history, and that is 231 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: it was a big week in the Big League? Is 232 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 1: fool or is it fair? And now here's shadow league 233 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 1: dot Com MLB insider JR. Gamble. The Astros barely made 234 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: it into the six team team playoffs and really haven't 235 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: looked like a team capable of winning a World Series, 236 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: especially considering that they don't have the advantages that they 237 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 1: had in the past. But they swept the Minnesota Twins 238 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: in the wild card series? Jr. Is it foul or 239 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: fair to say that manager Dusty Baker has enough to 240 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 1: lead Houston to a World Series title? Fair? That's ball. 241 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: Winning the World Series comes down to pitching, and while 242 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: Houston doesn't have a dominant staff twth in MLB and 243 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: e r A without Berlanda and Cole as they had 244 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: his past run. It still has a competence staff, a 245 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame coach with more playoff experience than any 246 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: of the other managers, and they have some of the 247 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 1: MLB's best players who have already got the job done 248 00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: in collect situation. Springer, the former World Series m BT, 249 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 1: Michael Brantley is still a hit machine, and Jose our 250 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: tool days do to get hot and now might be 251 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: the best time for him. Alex Bregman's also a beast. 252 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: Despite the accusations, the Astoes have it winning culture and 253 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: in this wacky season, anything can happen. There's no clear 254 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: cut favorite, and if a few things fall the Asto's ways, 255 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 1: they could definitely end up in the World Series. Besides, 256 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: rob they have a lot writing on this respectful legitimacy 257 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: and the championship legacy of Dusty Baker. Take out the 258 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 1: papers in the trash, It's time for trash Talk Twitter, 259 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: Twitter with your chance to trash anyone or anything in 260 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: Major League Baseball. This week's trash comes from a Jack 261 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: in Detroit. He tweeted me, is the Dodgers better beat 262 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: the Brewers? Milwaukee didn't even belong in the playoffs. The 263 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: Brewers were twenty nine and thirty one worse than a 264 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: five record. If the Dodgers lose again and don't get 265 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 1: to the World Series with this squad, they have to 266 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: say bye bye to manager Dave Roberts. If you want 267 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: your tweet red here on trash talking, hit me up 268 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 1: on my Twitter at Rob Parker FS one, and you 269 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 1: too could be like agent. When Rob was a newspaper columnist, 270 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: he lived by this motto, if I'm writing, I'm ripping. 271 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: Let's bring in a writer and broadcaster, older new All right, now, 272 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: let's welcome into the podcast a friend of mine. I 273 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: used to work with him at Newsday, the five baseball 274 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: columnists for Newsday in New York, Dave Lennon. Dave, welcome 275 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 1: to the podcast. Hey Rob, how's it going, man? Man 276 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: doing great? I love to catch up with you and 277 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: talk some New York Yankees baseball. So let's do that. 278 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: And first I want to say, Dave was a one 279 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: a statement sent out by the Yankees to the American 280 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 1: League that when they're healthy and got all their pieces, 281 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: they're dangerous because they beat up on Shane Bieber, who 282 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: everybody thinks will win the American League Cy Young. How 283 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: impressive was that? Game. Well, Rob, but you know, you 284 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,439 Speaker 1: know how New York is. I mean, we were we 285 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: were really giving it to the Yankees pretty hard back 286 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,880 Speaker 1: here about how this was a team that was only 287 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: a creation of the Bronx. You know, they needed to 288 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: be in their comfy stadium with the short porch where 289 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: they were twenty two and nine this year. They were 290 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: terrible on the road. If they didn't get home field advantage, 291 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 1: they were going to get knocked out quickly. And of course, 292 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 1: you know the Yankees are out telling us, yeah, yeah, 293 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 1: we'll be fine short season. When the lights go on, 294 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: you know, we'll be ready. And where did they do, Rob? 295 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: You know, they made us look stupid once again, because 296 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 1: you know when they showed up in Cleveland and you're 297 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,119 Speaker 1: facing let's face it, I mean, Bieber's a cy Young win. 298 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 1: We don't need to say things like presumptive more favorite, 299 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: he's witting, he's winning the cy Young And what the 300 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 1: Yankees did to him on opening night of the playoffs, 301 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: you're right, statement Game four pitchers in, Judge takes him 302 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,680 Speaker 1: over the wall, and Rob, you know when Aaron Judge 303 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 1: does something like that, you see the rest of the 304 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,640 Speaker 1: Yankees line up pretty quickly to follow him. Four home 305 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 1: runs never really a game, even when it was close early, 306 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: it just didn't feel like a game with with Gary 307 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: Cole on the mountain. Speaking of Judge, let's go there. 308 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: I think that was his ninth postseason home run. If 309 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,360 Speaker 1: this guy could ever stay healthy, I mean, and and 310 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: you're right, he's a lightning rod for that team. And 311 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 1: when he plays well, I've seen this guy and you 312 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 1: have hit big postseason home runs to tie games, to 313 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 1: do things. How good can he be if he could 314 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: just stay healthy. But the problem, Rob is that, you know, 315 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 1: we forget sometimes because he's like in and out of 316 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 1: the lineup so much, because he's been hurt the last 317 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: couple of years. I mean, this season, Robert, he was 318 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: headed for the m v p uh, you know, before 319 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: he suffered that cast trade. I mean, he was putting 320 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 1: up trout like numbers before he went on the injured list. 321 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 1: Then he comes back and in the last ten games, 322 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 1: you know, he only came back to the last ten 323 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: games of regular season, didn't hit a home run at 324 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 1: one extra base hit. I think he was hitting around 325 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:27,120 Speaker 1: one nine And again everybody was wondering, is Judge gonna 326 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 1: be okay? You know for the playoffs, as he still 327 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 1: need more time to get ready. But again, some guys 328 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 1: just have it, Rob, right, I mean some guys when 329 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: October shows up or late September wherever we are right now, 330 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 1: they're ready. You know, a switch goes off of them. 331 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,679 Speaker 1: And Judge is one of those guys. And you just 332 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,239 Speaker 1: can't hit a bigger home run for his team than 333 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: he did on Tuesday night, no doubt about it. Our 334 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 1: guest is Dave Lennon, the baseball columnists from Newsday in 335 00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: New York. Let's talk about to Kanaka, who was the 336 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 1: game to start up with the Yankees, and people might 337 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 1: not realize how great he's been in the postseason and 338 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: pinstriped with coming into Wednesday night he at at one 339 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: point seven six e r ra uh. He's been lights out. 340 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: It's hard to believe, Rob, is that when the Yankees 341 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,120 Speaker 1: first signed to Naka to the hundred fifty five million deal, 342 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: you know, he was the big ace in Japan that 343 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: they got. Within the first couple of months, you know, 344 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 1: they thought he was gonna need Tommy John surgery and 345 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 1: we're talking seven years ago. But what he did was 346 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: they decided to do you know, that the platelet rich 347 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 1: plasma injections, he did some rehab, came back, elbow has 348 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 1: never bothered him again. And the guy, really he's been 349 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,640 Speaker 1: the eighth of the staff. You know, you've you've seen 350 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,199 Speaker 1: it through CC went from being an eighth kind of 351 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: moving further down on the rotation. You know, they have 352 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: coal now, so he's moved up to be the number one. 353 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 1: But the real constant here rob all along has been Tanaka. 354 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 1: And with the Yankees, as you know, the greatness of 355 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 1: a picture or a player is always measured in October. 356 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: The regular season is fine, whatever numbers you put up 357 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: during the regular season is fine, but you really separate 358 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,479 Speaker 1: yourself and you really become kind of a Yankee legend 359 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: with your performance in October. And that's what Sanaka has done. 360 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 1: I mean, he's been a big game picture for them 361 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,439 Speaker 1: since he's arrived, and you know they're hoping from the 362 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 1: same things with him this postseason. Last thing, Dave, when 363 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 1: it comes to the Indians, Uh, just offensively, when I 364 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: look at that line up, a lot of guys scuffling. 365 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,640 Speaker 1: Do they have enough hitting? Because I know they have pitching, 366 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: but do they have enough hitting? And the other thing 367 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,679 Speaker 1: going into Game two on Wednesday night, is that they 368 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:57,360 Speaker 1: had lost their last nine elimination games. When you look 369 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:01,360 Speaker 1: at that lineup, is it as weak to you as 370 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 1: it is to me? Rob? If you talk to people 371 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: around the league, when you know when the playoff seedings 372 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 1: are starting to kind of come together, yeah, Teas didn't 373 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: want to play the Indians, but it was because of 374 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: the pitching staff. You know, in a short series, nobody 375 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 1: wanted to face their top three guys uh In Beaver, 376 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,399 Speaker 1: Carrasco and please Act. Those are the pictures that scared people, 377 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 1: and in a short series that was enough, especially with 378 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 1: their bullpen too, with their top bullpen guys. So you know, 379 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:35,399 Speaker 1: when you talked to any other teams around but offensively, Robbed, No, 380 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: I mean this lineup falls off pretty quickly after Osi Ramirez, 381 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: who you know it is? She should be the m 382 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: v P in my mind too of the American League. 383 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 1: Lind Door had a really down year for him. Uh Rob. 384 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: So No, there's just not a there's just not a 385 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 1: lineup that scares you. You know, in years past, the 386 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: Indians have really been known as kind of an offensive 387 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,159 Speaker 1: team that could really kind of knock your round. Progressive 388 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: field that's not the case this year. And if the 389 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,679 Speaker 1: Yankees come in there and beat them up like they 390 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: did in Game one, uh, you know they can. They 391 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: can do some serious damage. So it's just nodded. Deep 392 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: enough lineup even if they get by the first round, 393 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,399 Speaker 1: I think to really be a threat much further all right. 394 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: His name is Dave Lennon. He's a fine baseball columnists, 395 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: a friend of mine. We used to work together when 396 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: I worked at Newsday. And Dave, thanks for joining the 397 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 1: podcast man. We appreciate it. We miss you. Rob back East, 398 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: have a good time out there on the coast and 399 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 1: stay safe. Now it's time for some diamond dust with 400 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 1: wish TVs. Phil Sanchez. He played baseball in college. Now 401 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 1: here is MLB knowledge. Well, when you watch the playoffs 402 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,200 Speaker 1: over the next few weeks, take a close look at 403 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,879 Speaker 1: some of the bats the players are using. Specifically the 404 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,879 Speaker 1: knobs of some of those bats. There you'll see a 405 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: label with a graphic design of black and white hands 406 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 1: clasped over the words hell and Unite. It's all part 407 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 1: of an initiative started by former Cincinnati Reds great and 408 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: Hall of Same short stop Barry Larkin. Larkin is the 409 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 1: founder of the Project Unity initiative, which is aimed at 410 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: bringing people together on and off the field. Larkin says 411 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,199 Speaker 1: that he came up with the idea in the light 412 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 1: of everything going on in our country, from COVID nineteen 413 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 1: to police brutality. Now. The idea has the backing of 414 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 1: MLB Commissioner Rob Manford, who said quote, Historically, our game 415 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: has played a unique role in uniting our country during 416 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: challenging times. We hope Project Unity can help play a 417 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: small role in making a difference. Larkin is also raising 418 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 1: money for several groups that will help improve diversity within 419 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,359 Speaker 1: the game. As far as the bats go, though, Larkin 420 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 1: says that he hopes all players consider using them, but 421 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 1: he also understands that baseball players are creatures of habit 422 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,360 Speaker 1: and says that he's more than okay with players using 423 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: the bats that feel most comfortable with Either way, though 424 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:58,120 Speaker 1: every little bit helps. Hat tip, Barry Larkin, you deserve 425 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 1: it now bringing the closer. Here's why MLB is better 426 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 1: than the NFL or NBA, and it isn't even close. 427 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: Baseball is better than the NBA. In the NFL for 428 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,199 Speaker 1: one reason and one reason only, there always seems to 429 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: be memorable moments, walk off home runs or hits that 430 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 1: just make you remember those moments. And we saw that 431 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:30,199 Speaker 1: on Wednesday when Freddie Freeman had to walk off RBI 432 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,920 Speaker 1: single to send the Braves to a one nothing victory 433 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:39,400 Speaker 1: over to Cincinnati Reds in extra innings. It was a drama, 434 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 1: it was theater, and it reminded me that the last 435 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: time the Reds had a walk off hit to lose 436 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: a playoff game, Are you ready? It was nine and 437 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: the Boston Red Sox beat them in the World Series 438 00:25:56,080 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: on that famous foul of fair home on by Calton Fisk. 439 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: Take a listen the one oh delivery to Fisky swings 440 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 1: low dry left field. If it says Barris, god hold 441 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: the red stock wind at the series. That's hide three 442 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:17,120 Speaker 1: games the beat pearl fifth. I want nothing, pet, they're 443 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,679 Speaker 1: gamming out on the field. If he made you're waiting 444 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,919 Speaker 1: for him. The ball hit, the power fall, and the 445 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 1: red side that set the World Series in the game 446 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 1: cover with a dramatic seven the sect decade. In the 447 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 1: words of New York TV legend the late Bill Jorgensen, 448 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 1: thanking you for your time this time until next time. 449 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,919 Speaker 1: Rob Parker out he can't give it This could be 450 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,400 Speaker 1: an inside the parker to see you next week.
