11
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: Bowl this year because of that, and I did it.

12
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:42,400

16
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 3: on that tenth though?

17
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: I did, yeah, when they were zero and four, making

00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: my Week four Super Bowl prediction. No, you were looking

19
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,840

00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: way ahead. Yeah. Well, Actually, what I do like is

21
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 1: when they do is it Grock or AI that does

22
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,520

00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 3: Well they might have done part one today.

46
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: I already think of some of the shows are gonna

47
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: do that to my I already known I can already.

48
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 3: The old guys.

49
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: But it is gonna be a big day for old

50
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: guys tomorrow because we had three guys in their forties

51
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: with big nights and night Joe Flacco, Aaron Rodgers, and

52
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: Max Schurzer. Now, I picked the Steelers to win this game. However,

53
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: I am okay with them losing because my larger point

54
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: that they stink is what's out there now. Because the

55
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: Steelers stink, I told you they stink, They're not They

56
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: don't do anything really well. Right now, Rogers threw the

57
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 1: ball well tonight. You through throwball well tonight. Jalen Warren

58
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 1: did run the ball well tonight. I was a very

59
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: encouraging Briarmouth caught some pass he had the back in hell.

60
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 3: Not quite the night for DK Metcalf.

61
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: Which Alex Tyshert Welcome to the world of cursing athletes

62
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: because Tyshirt gave us his big preaching last night. As

63
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: you know last week he said Giants are gonna win

64
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: Thursdaynight Football by fourteen points. I was like, you're crazy,

65
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: and he turned out to be right. So he let

66
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: ty Shirt pick the game last night, and he said

67
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: Dk Metcalf three touchdowns. DK Metcalf had his worst game

68
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: of the year. What fifty yards receiving and a big

69
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: fumble at the end of the first half that gave

70
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: the Bengals a field goal. So now Alex Tyshert understands

71
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: what happens when you curse the other team because you

72
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: picked that big night for Metcalf and he was terrible tonight. Congratulations,

73
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: it's on you.

74
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 5: I will own it. I also wear it proudly because

75
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:34,839
Speaker 5: I should have been right.

76
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 3: Wait.

77
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, okay, I see that's how you're gonna do it. Okay, No,

78
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: all right, I should have been right. Yeah, but you

79
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: were wrong.

80
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 3: No, I was wrong. I should have been right.

81
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 5: They checked Aaron Rodgers. They wore uniforms that looked like

82
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 5: the yardage, you know what I'm saying. They didn't know

83
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 5: where to throw it. I didn't see all these guys

84
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 5: in the white uniforms. They were so low to the

85
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 5: ground with all the snow on the ground, I couldn't

86
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 5: tell where they were. They would just run back up

87
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 5: and try to grab the football. I didn't see it

88
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 5: blank spaces. So it was a good night for the

89
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 5: Steelers moving the football tonight. But look, but the Bengals

90
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 5: are terrible. The Bengals defense is awful. No hendrickson tonight.

91
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 5: They had no pass rush on Aaron Rodgers and they

92
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 5: still lost the game. The Steelers aren't a great football team.

93
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 5: They're not even a good football team. They're a team

94
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 5: that's gonna wind up winning this division with an OK

95
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 5: record because everybody else is struggling. Now, clearly the Bengals tonight. Right,

96
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 5: we'll get to Flacco in a couple of minutes, but

97
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 5: clearly this is a Steelers team that, Yeah, every year

98
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 5: there's the one team that's really weak and winds up

99
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 5: winning a division because the win division is bad and

100
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 5: they go play in their first playoff game, they get

101
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 5: boat raced and go home.

102
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: That's the Steelers. That is absolutely the Steelers. Because the

103
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: Steelers stink, they're not good again, they don't. The defense

104
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 1: this is clearly not your steel curtain of two years ago,

105
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 1: three years ago, ten years ago. I mean, this defense

106
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: is getting worked the entire season. You opened up by

107
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: letting the Jets put like fu five hundred yards of

108
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: offense on you. The Jets, man, they had minus ten

109
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: yards passing last week against the Broncos, who also are

110
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: a good defense, but they're actually really good.

111
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 3: So I mean the Steelers. You don't.

112
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: The defense is terrible, and offensively, nobody really scares you.

113
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: But it's just the Bengals defense is terrible. So, okay,

114
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: you're not good. You're not a good team. It's it's

115
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: okay to admit that every ever, Like I said, one

116
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: team every year, they're not that good, but they win

117
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: the division because the rest of it stinks.

118
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 3: That's the Steelers. They came into the game giving up

119
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 3: what twenty three points a game ish, which was bottom teams. Okay, fine,

120
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 3: pass rush had been better the last couple of weeks.

121
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 3: Joe Flacco will get more into him in a minute,

122
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 3: but get rid.

123
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: Of everything's middle of the field, undil of the road

124
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: with them, it's not like middle road there they stayed.

125
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 3: But here's the beauty of it, right, it's a long season.

126
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 3: It's a long season. They're starting to get healthy. Friarmouth

127
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 3: had been a bit banged up. He looked ice and

128
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 3: healthy as he sprinted to daylight on that sixty eight yarder.

129
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 3: Warrened missed the game while he had the best game

130
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 3: of his season and look good and spry. Gain well

131
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 3: not much of a role here, sorry, folks on those

132
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 3: daily fantasy plays, but the fact that you got the

133
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,799
Speaker 3: tight ends involved metcap while he only had three for fifty.

134
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 3: Would love to see his usage up. Would love to

135
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 3: see another wide receiver be up and available. Austin missed

136
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 3: this one. But you're you're looking at the activity towards

137
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 3: the deadline. Can they go find another wide receiver, you

138
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 3: know what, unlike that guy that they got rid of

139
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 3: who's really excelling as the number two now and Dallas

140
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 3: with Ceenee lamback. Yeah, but all of that to say,

141
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers looked good. Yeah, look again, I mean he

142
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 3: looked fantastic. Get the Jets and look and look how

143
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 3: you're good you are?

144
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: I mean, look, obviously he wasn't under any sort of

145
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: dressed right, you take it with a grain of salt.

146
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, no question about it.

147
00:06:58,400 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 4: Right.

148
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 3: No hendrickson pass rush the guy they drafted in the

149
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 3: first round and was I think they said his name once.

150
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: From late in the game there is I'm a big

151
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: proponent of if the announcers don't say your name a lot,

152
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: you're not having a great game. I'm a big proponent,

153
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: especially when you're a first first round pick that you

154
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: held out, you did a lot of stuff. They were

155
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: banking out him now like they were clocking Aaron Rodgers

156
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: at his time of release.

157
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 3: In the first half. There were multiple times that was

158
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 3: over eight seconds. He danced left, he danced right, He

159
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 3: looked downfield, he checked out, he looked again. All that

160
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 3: kind of craziness to it. I just wonder if if

161
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 3: they don't actually have a lot better football ahead of them,

162
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 3: will they be great? No, I don't think there's a

163
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 3: lot of great. I don't think there's great really in

164
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 3: a lot of these teams. I mean, we might have

165
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 3: one or two teams that separate eventually will right now

166
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 3: they're question marks, right.

167
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: But they can become great. The Steelers stink, There's no question.

168
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: They're in the media of the curve. Yeah, it doesn't

169
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: matter that right there with the Bengals that stinks.

170
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 3: Do you angles are three and four? You do you

171
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 3: want to know, Joe Flagger?

172
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: You want a great meaty burger that that has great

173
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: sirloin and has done well? Or do you want a

174
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: middle of the road burger? No, you'd say the middle

175
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: of the road burger stinks.

176
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 3: You want since my price differential when most places is

177
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 3: gonna be minimal, give me thet.

178
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: I'm just saying the burger, the taste of one burger

179
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: versus the taste of another burger. If you got the

180
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: middle of the road burger versus the taste of a

181
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: really good burger. That middle of road burger stinks.

182
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 3: How appropriate that that analogy, because I made tasty burgers

183
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 3: today for the girls. Ah, there were some damn fine burgers.

184
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: Now the flip side of it again, I am from

185
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: the future because I told you right away Joe Flacco

186
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: was gonna show up and this Bengals offense was gonna

187
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: suddenly come to life.

188
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, you got this one better than that stupid wizard

189
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,599
Speaker 3: caught that Guerrero home runner. Yeah, he didn't catch the

190
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 3: wizard didn't catch terrible left ward.

191
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:53,959
Speaker 6: Awful.

192
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 3: You're gonna dress up like that. It's like wearing the

193
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 3: sixty one shirt for hey, dump it here and then

194
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 3: dropping the ball?

195
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: Wait, come on, always talking dropping the base ball. I

196
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: told you Flacco was gonna have a great and immediate

197
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: impact on the Bengals, whose offense was awful under Jake Browning. Right,

198
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 1: what three points of the first three quarters of the

199
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: last three games they had to make a.

200
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 3: Move they do drove the ball down the field. He

201
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 3: turned the ball over just at a ridiculous rate.

202
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I get that. Okay, you need a week

203
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: for Flacco. Still it wasn't awful against the Packers. Watching

204
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: this game, I could tell, Okay, it's gonna happen. I

205
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: didn't think it would happen quite like this to the

206
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 1: tune of over three hundred yards and three touchdowns and

207
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase nearly broke Brandon Marshall's record for receptions in

208
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 1: a game because he had sixteen. But I knew this

209
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: system for Flacco getting the ball to his playmakers. These

210
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: guys are all terrific. Right again, we talked about in

211
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 1: the first hour of the show, Jamar Chase and Ti

212
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: Higgins might be the best one two combo in all

213
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 1: of the NFL. Now ceedeelamb and George Pickens might get

214
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 1: the run Josh Redd and Arian Smith maybe, but anyway, uh,

215
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: but they're both really good. And Chase Brown has shown

216
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: you I'm pretty good. Now he has been awful and

217
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: averaging two and a half yards of carry. And what

218
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 1: happened tonight again Jamar Chase record setting night right t

219
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: three targets Man T Higgins a big night when you realize, Okay,

220
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: if one guy is catching sixteen passes, you're not going

221
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: to catch twelve, but six the big one at the end,

222
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: setting up the game rights, Chase Brown runs for one

223
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: hundred yards, right, Like, this is exactly what I thought,

224
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: because this is a system for Flacco, right, being able

225
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: to throw that deep ball, being able to if I

226
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: thought Wilson in the moon ball was pretty good, but

227
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,959
Speaker 1: Flacco being able to extend the field and as smart

228
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: as he is, he's going to take advantage of these

229
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: playmakers because with the Browns, the Browns playmakers are bad. Right,

230
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: they put him in a position to fail when they

231
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: start this season. Okay, we got a couple of rookie

232
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: running backs and maybe the receivers. Look we're looking at

233
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: Arch Manning or whoever else we're taking next year. We're

234
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: completely punting on this year. We got Dylan Gabriel and

235
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: Chador s. He wasn't in a position to succeed, but

236
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: he's in one now with the Bengals. And like we say,

237
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: usually it's the younger quarterbacks that find out. Whether it's

238
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield have found his way a little bit before

239
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: he was thirty years old. Sam Darnold in his late

240
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: twenties has found his way. Gino Smith took him till

241
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: he was thirty years old. There's a system for everyone.

242
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: And the fact that you have seen Flacco play as

243
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: well as he has throughout his career. The Bengals knew

244
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: this is our guy. This is our guy because he's

245
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: gonna come in and do what we do well. And

246
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: also it's going to be where the end of the year,

247
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: when Joe Burrow comes back, Flaco's gonna say thank you,

248
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: tip his cap. Understand, but know that I still have

249
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: more time to play in the NFL because I'm still

250
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: really good. I can still do it in the right

251
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: system right, so many quick there's a system for everyone.

252
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: It's just weird to see it with a forty year

253
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: old quarterback because usually those guys are you get to

254
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: that point, you do what you can do, stay, you

255
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: do what you don't. Get out of your comfort zone

256
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: a lot. You really have to say, all right, I

257
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: want this guy to work here. And when Aaron Rodgers

258
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: tried to do that with the Jets, it didn't work right.

259
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: The offensive system was terrible. Let's a guy like Devonte

260
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: Adams in and didn't work out that great. All of

261
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: a sudden, Garrett Wilson wasn't catching passes and the team

262
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: didn't win. But Angard Rodger with the Steelers. I have

263
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: the one guy I gotta go to. It's DK Metcalf

264
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 1: and that's it. Okay, am I tightened. I can use.

265
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 1: We can run the ball. Can get the ball to

266
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: Jalen Warren out of the backfield. It works for Joe

267
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: Flacco the same thing. I can get the ball deep

268
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: downfield of Jamar Chase. I get it in between the

269
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase. I get it to t Higgins because I

270
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: could get my reads in. Chase Brown can get Now

271
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you can't just just box the

272
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. Chase Brown has room to run. Joe Flacco.

273
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: It's weird in his forties, but yes, he's one of

274
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: those guys. He's adapted to other schemes and here he

275
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: is a system for everybody.

276
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 3: Oh, we're talking about the Wilson moon ball. But Flacco

277
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 3: has that aptitude but also can drive the ball deep

278
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 3: and intermediate routes. And we watched it with Jamar Chase,

279
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 3: We talked about it with Jay Glazer. Just being able

280
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 3: to get that timing synced up just that fast. And

281
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 3: credit to the offensive line of the Bengals. They did

282
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 3: a great job holding back the Pittsburgh pass rush, but

283
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 3: also for Flacco and recognizing that the guys cut off

284
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 3: their routs and they went short and found some yak

285
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 3: along the way and that ends up getting them to

286
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 3: the winner circle. What that means long term, no, no,

287
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 3: but it was fun to see all three of those

288
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 3: weapons deployed with big days for fantasy owners. And you

289
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 3: know me, old guys, the longer they succeed, the younger

290
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 3: I feel.

291

Speaker 1: He is MLB Network insider extraordinaire covering the series in

340
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: Seattle for MLB Network. It is your lion's prognosticator extraordinaire,

341
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: the Pope, John Paul Morosi. What's happening, buddy?

342
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 3: How are you?

343
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 4: I'm doing outstanding, my friends. Greetings from the great city

344
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 4: of Seattle. For the second time this week, I am

345
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 4: now at T Mobile Park, where I can report to

346
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 4: you exclusively that this American League Championship Series remains not over.

347
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 4: It remains not over. In fact, it is the opposite

348
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 4: of over. We are level at two games a piece.

349
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 4: It is a whole new series.

350
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: My friends, Well, and I have a feeling I would

351
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: like the Blue Jays to win the series. If you

352
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: could guarantee me that what he's been doing so far

353
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: that Junior is going to hit a home run in

354
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: every game. I feel good about the Blue Jays if

355
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: that's going to continue to happen.

356
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, their record when he hits the ball approximately five

357
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 4: hundred feet, which is what he did today to the

358
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 4: opposite field. No less, and maybe it wasn't five hundred,

359
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 4: but you get the idea.

360
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 3: Was that you dresses the Wizard?

361
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 4: Yeah?

362
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 3: No, John Paul, was that you dressed the wizard? Do

363
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 3: you put your glove out and didn't catch it?

364
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 2: I think that was no.

365
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 4: I was actually watching that from the press box. Oh no,

366
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 4: I have a very solid alibi. I was in the

367
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 4: press box, not there, I can. I have multiple witnesses

368
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 4: attesting to my presence there. He of course. And I

369
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 4: interviewed Blatty after the game on MLB Network and he

370
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 4: said that it really it meant a lot to him

371
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 4: that he has now passed Jose Baltisa for the most

372
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 4: home runs in a single postseason in Blue Jay's history.

373
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 4: His countrymen, of course, in the from the Dominican Republic.

374
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 4: So he's uh, he's going to the Hall of Fame

375
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 4: in all likelihood. Vladimir Gerrow Junior and and the Jays

376
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 4: are now where they are because of another certainly certain

377
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 4: Hall of Famer, in the case of Max Scherzer, with

378
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 4: what he has done, and that was a performance for

379
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 4: the ages we've had. Basically everybody I asked was, hey,

380
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 4: what did you what executive did you hear Max Versus

381
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 4: say to John Schneider on the mountain? And what did

382
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 4: you say? And I believe the the the translation on

383
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 4: the on the readout as it were, it would be

384
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 4: kind sir, I request to remain in his baseball game,

385
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,959
Speaker 4: or I have intent on finishing this inning, something like that,

386
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 4: I think was was what the exact John Boy translation was.

387
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 4: But Max Scherzer, he showed and vladi X said this

388
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 4: to me. He said, that's why he's going to the

389
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 4: Hall of Fame, and it was there's probably no better

390
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 4: summation than that. And Max talked afterward about this sacrifices

391
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 4: that go into it. Certainly as a forty one year

392
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 4: olds he's someone that has won a game in the

393
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 4: ALC a SID forty one years of age. First want

394
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 4: to do that Kenny Rogers back in two thousand and six,

395
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 4: and you do it with sacrifices. He's a father of four,

396
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 4: He and his wife Erica. It's not easy to spend

397
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 4: this amount of time away from home and to keep

398
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 4: chasing moments like this and being able to enjoy moments

399
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 4: like this as a competitor, which Max is pau excellon.

400
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 4: So just a special knight for him. And he actually

401
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 4: said I asked him after the game, I said, Mac,

402
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 4: did you appreciate these moments in a different way than

403
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 4: you did fourteen years ago your first postseason start, which

404
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 4: was against Jeter and a Rod and those Yankees? And

405
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 4: he said, no, actually they're all the same, that they

406
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,479
Speaker 4: all mean something special to me. So it was kind

407
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 4: of an interesting answer and someone that I think we all,

408
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 4: with the possible exception of Mariner fans, tonight, we also

409
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 4: feel fortunate to have a chance to one of the

410
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 4: best to ever do it in Max Chersey.

411
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 1: You know before you hit to the Dodgers John Paul

412
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: last on this game is that you know you talked

413
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,239
Speaker 1: about Scherzer when John Schneider tried to take him out.

414
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 1: He said, no, I'm staying in it. It's kind of

415
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: fun to watch, but I know this is gonna end

416
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: disastrously for a team when a manager leaves a guy

417
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 1: in and it's a three run homer instead of a strikeout,

418
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 1: and suddenly the manager's gonna be mad, the players are

419
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: gonna be mad, like this is gonna end in heartache,

420
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: and and really just in a bad way for managers

421
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 1: in general.

422
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 3: I know how it's gonna go.

423
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 4: Right, no, And I think that's the interesting point. And

424
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 4: we've all seen moments like this in different baseball games,

425
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 4: and John Schneider said simply, I trusted the person. I

426
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 4: trusted Max, And I thought that was a really good

427
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 4: way for him to describe it, that he, at the

428
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 4: end of the day, whatever was on a spreadsheet, whatever

429
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 4: was whatever was said before the game about Okay, if

430
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 4: this pocket of the lineup comes up in the fifth

431
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 4: inning and then Max is on the map, we're gonna

432
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 4: get him out of there because we want to have

433
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 4: someone else come in. I just think it was a

434
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 4: a really special way for a manager to describe it,

435
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 4: that whatever the sort of objective planning looked like, that

436
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 4: the heartbeat of the game told him something different. And

437
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 4: I just think that was a really extraordinary way for

438
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 4: John to describe what happened in his decision to keep

439
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 4: Max in the game and give Max a chance at

440
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 4: a postseason win, which is something he wasn't able to do.

441
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 4: Max's team won the World Series in twenty three, but

442
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 4: he didn't get a World Series win in twenty twenty three.

443
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 4: So I think that from that perspective that this was

444
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 4: a deeply meaningful personal accolade. In addition to I'm sure

445
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 4: and obviously Max is mind first and foremost was getting

446
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 4: the win for the Toronto Blue Jays and evening this.

447
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 3: Series flipping the other series JP ashby third appearance for

448
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 3: the Brewers that ends poorly as shoe Otani gets the head,

449
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 3: Bets follows up down one nothing and then Misowski comes in.

450
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 3: You know, we're first guessing from the chairs something Pat

451
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 3: Murphy might regret not just going with the young straight

452
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 3: out of the gate.

453
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 4: Well, miss miss was really good tonight, and watching his

454
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 4: stuff I was able to keep an eye on it

455
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 4: before our game began here in Seattle. Just absolute dominant

456
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 4: stuff from from misserrowskiing. Just that the way this pitches move,

457
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 4: with the velocity that he's got. Again, I understand why

458
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 4: why Pat Murphy made the move that he did. It's

459
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 4: you want to get an additional lefty bat. You don't

460
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 4: want to lose the game early, and and and from

461
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:35,120
Speaker 4: his perspective, and it's a very logical thought that that

462
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 4: that the veteran left hander to begin the game is

463
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 4: is it better? Is a better option than than Miserrowski

464
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 4: to start the game against that pocket of hitters. So

465
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 4: I have really I don't have an issue with with

466
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 4: the choice that the Murphy made. Be it. You know,

467
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 4: when you think about the big picture, if you start

468
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 4: with Misserowski and you sort of start his clock on

469
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 4: the first inning, he might not be around to keep

470
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 4: the game under control, so to speak, as late as

471
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 4: he did, because he'd probably have to get pulled a

472
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 4: little bit earlier. This is a very difficult task. This team,

473
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 4: the Dodgers right now is look at how few runs

474
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 4: they've given up, look at how dominant they've been. That

475
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 4: the team with the best chance to knock them out

476
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 4: was probably in retrospect, the Phillies, and and we obviously

477
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 4: know how how that series unfolded. So I just think

478
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 4: in general, sure second guessing is fair in this case,

479
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 4: but I think actually Murphy made the right call. And

480
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 4: and I'm not sure if you put Connie Max, Tony

481
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 4: LaRussa and uh and any anybody else in the dugout

482
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 4: to think this through and to devise the pitching plans.

483
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 4: I'm not sure anybody could find a way to manage uh,

484
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 4: the Brewers past the Dodgers, given the firepower that La

485
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 4: has right now.

486
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, I think if you're the Brewers, John Paul,

487
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: you just say, we've run into a starting pitching buzzsaw

488
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: the first unid What are we.

489
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 3: Going to do?

490
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: The only the only down downside of this I see

491
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,199
Speaker 1: for the Dodgers is Okay, are they going to get

492
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 1: a bounce in the World Series? Like are they are

493
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: they gonna Are they gonna pitch this well again in

494
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,199
Speaker 1: the World Series Because it's not like they're pitching this

495
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 1: well and they're winning these games six one, seven to one.

496
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: They're pitching this well, they're winning two to one and

497
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 1: three one. Their offense hasn't been great. So if they

498
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: if they get any downtick pitching wise, and it's really

499
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 1: tough to keep it going all the way through the

500
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: World Series. Like that's the only thing I worry for

501
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: with the Dodgers going forward.

502
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 4: Well, it's fair and I think you're right that the

503
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 4: really the Dodgers have not had offensive nights like frankly

504
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 4: the ones we've seen from the Blue Jays the last

505
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 4: couple of days, or even the Mariners in Game two,

506
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 4: where where the Mariners showed that on the right night,

507
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 4: they can probably outscore anybody. You know, it hasn't looked

508
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 4: that way to laugh two nights, But then again, it

509
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 4: didn't look that way for the Jays the first two games.

510
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 4: So I think whichever team wins this series will we'll

511
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 4: have a legitimate shot at toppling the Dodgers. It's gonna

512
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 4: be difficult to pick against LA because of all the

513
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 4: talent they've got, all the experience they've got, everything we're

514
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 4: seeing right now in this series, and again too, the

515
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 4: pitching equation when you when you are basing yourself on

516
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 4: on the on the mound. The lack of familiarity, at

517
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 4: least within the league often does work in the favor

518
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 4: of the of the teams once you cross over the

519
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 4: World Series. Now, it's not like it used to be

520
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,439
Speaker 4: where the only time, uh, the Cardinals ever saw the

521
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 4: Tigers was you know, the sixteen World Series. It is

522
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 4: different now, of course, for a variety of reasons. But

523
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 4: I think the way the Dodgers are are performing tells

524
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 4: me that when when players were that talented, has that

525
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 4: amount of time to prepare for one particular opponent in

526
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 4: one particular setting. The Dodgers are a formidable force. And

527
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 4: and by the way, we haven't even seen Otani pitch

528
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 4: in this series yet, so h that comes tomorrow. So

529
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 4: that it's it's an embarrassment of riches right now for

530
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,479
Speaker 4: the Dodgers, and and uh and those that looked at

531
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 4: their roster in spring training and said, wow, that team

532
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 4: probably should win the World Series. They may they may

533
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 4: be right at the end of the day.

534
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, when we look at it, and the contrast between

535
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 3: what the Brewers are and what the ale opponent TV

536
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 3: named later Brewers, their their whole marketing was were pesky. Well,

537
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 3: if you're not on base, you can't play station to

538
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:21,679
Speaker 3: station versus one mistake on the other and suddenly it's

539
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 3: you're into the pen, correct.

540
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 4: And I think that when you look at the Blue Jays,

541
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 4: you know here in Seattle watching this game tonight, you

542
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 4: would not describe the Jays as a pesky line up.

543
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 4: That they've got no and they've got some serious firepower

544
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 4: and at some point they might get Bobaschette back for

545
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 4: the next round. We don't know that that would be

546
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 4: a might be a bit of a leap of faith

547
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 4: for them that to bring him back in that circumstance.

548
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:52,360
Speaker 4: But yeah, there's when you consider right now, and especially

549
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 4: with Curio leaven the game today, that's a concern. There's

550
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 4: just Milwaukee. If you just set that payroll against the

551
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 4: Dodgers payroll, Dodgers' resources against the Brewers' resources, it's just

552
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,640
Speaker 4: it's a different it's just a very very different set

553
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 4: of circumstances. It's very hard for Milwaukee to win unless

554
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 4: they play a perfect series. They've actually played I think

555
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 4: overall pretty well. They haven't beaten themselves in my opinion.

556
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 4: From Milwaukee's perspective, they just they're up against a really,

557
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 4: really talented team that's not making mistakes, pitching well, hitting

558
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 4: their spots. It's this this series, in my view, in

559
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 4: the National League side is being one way more than

560
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 4: it's being lost. In my opinion, it's just it's a

561
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 4: very very talented LA team, and to your point, the

562
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 4: Blue Jays and Mariners too, when they've got Raley going

563
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 4: and they've got jay Rod going and Polanko who has

564
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 4: played phenomenally well. This postseason. You know, they're both way

565
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 4: better than just simply a pesky line up there. They

566
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,479
Speaker 4: both have a chance to really put up some depressive numbers.

567
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 4: And I think that's what the Mariner fans here in

568
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 4: Seattle are are anxiously awaiting in Game five, given how

569
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:58,439
Speaker 4: the last couple of nights have gone.

570
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 1: Well, there is your phrase, he anxiously awaiting. Not only

571
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 1: does John Paul Morosi kill it as an MLB Network insider,

572
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: it covers the NHL playoffs for NHL Network and he

573
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: is undefeated this season picking Lions games. He is a

574
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 1: perfect six and zero picking the Lions games. Michigan proud

575
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: Michigan resident, as John Paul Morosi is John Paul. We

576
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,239
Speaker 1: get your Lions pick every week. Your undefeated record is

577
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: on the line. You picked against them last week and

578
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: you won. I had to say that because you know

579
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: it may be tougher to get back to Michigan now,

580
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:35,919
Speaker 1: because but I had to say it.

581
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 3: How do you think things go this week? Five and

582
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 3: a half point favorite, fifty two and a half the total?

583
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 4: Wow? All right, Well, here's what I've got. I'm gonna

584
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 4: have to apologize to coach Campbell right away. I've got

585
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 4: I've got the Bucks, the Bucks winning this one twenty

586
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:57,439
Speaker 4: four to twenty. I'm a little bit of a lower

587
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 4: scoring old school NFC Norris, as Chris Berman would say,

588
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 4: collision there between the Bucks and the Lions. I've got

589
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 4: Tampa Bay twenty four Lions twenty as the Bucks avenge

590
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 4: their playoff loss in that very same venue a couple

591
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 4: of years ago. I do remember that game, so I've

592
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 4: got that much. I've got a brief amount of institutional

593
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 4: knowledge there. The Bucks are off to a good start.

594
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,360
Speaker 4: I think they're going to find a way to win

595
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 4: a four point game at Ford Field against the Lions.

596
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 4: And I'm risking my perfect record of Lions predictions on

597
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 4: that particular mark.

598
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 1: You think Doug Williams has a big week? Is Tampa

599
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: Bay quarterback? Or do they go to Steve Young at

600
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: some point?

601
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 3: What do you think?

602
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 7: Yeah?

603
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 4: I think, wasn't it? I think, actually, here's I got

604
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 4: a name for you. I think they're actually gonna make

605
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 4: a decision between Steve de Berg and Vinnie testa Vernie.

606
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 4: I think it's the idea.

607
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 3: Steve de Burgh.

608
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: On Twitter at John Morosi, that is at John Morosi,

609
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: MLB Network, inst Cider extraordinary. John Paul Morosi putting his

610
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: unbeaten Lions picking streak on the line once again, picking

611
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: against Dan cald Bold strategy Tott. John Paul is always buddy,

612
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you next week and enjoy the guys.

613
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: Got it, buddy, anybody there goes John Paul Morosi. I'm sorry,

614
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell, I'm picking against you again. Okay, okay.

615
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 3: I do like that he puts the apology ahead of it, though.

616
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: It's like I gotta say I'm sorry to coach Campbell, yeah,

617
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: right away with the staff.

618
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 3: To Jared Goff.

619
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, It's like when you walk in you apologize to

620
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: your parents for something you did before you tell them.

621
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: I just want to say I'm sorry. All that would

Speaker 1: they wouldn't find them. Oh no, I would always. I

631
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: would always lead with the big one and hope the

632
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: little one just kind of falls away, like they don't care.

633
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: About the little one as much because it's the big one.

Speaker 1: taking out the garbage, Yeah no, and you actually did

637
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: something legitimately wrong.

638
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 3: I fear it. Lots of times.

639
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: I think that mailbox caper. I mean that wouldn't have

640
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: gone over like the Jets. There's a lot of times

641
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 1: in that house. I could do nothing right no matter what.

642
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: That's how it goes.

643
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:23,200

654
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 6: My winnings really are gonna come from Aaron Rodgers. Actually,

655
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:53,719
Speaker 6: because I had Josh Allen on a buy in two

656
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 6: of my fantasy leagues Boom and I.

657
00:30:55,960 --> 00:31:00,959
Speaker 3: Pio had to play Rogers. Let's go ros other options.

658
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 6: I could have picked Bryce Young, you know, like, but

659
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 6: I went with Ayer Rogers and he delivered despite the

660
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 6: two interceptions. He delivered for my teams on my fantasy

661
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 6: but he didn't deliver necessarily for the Steelers because the

662
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 6: Bengals won it. They walked it off on a field goal,

663
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 6: actually coming out on top thirty three to thirty one.

664
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 6: Joe Flacco with another game winning drive, his thirtieth career

665
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 6: game winning drive by the way. He ended thirty one

666
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 6: to forty seven, three hundred and forty two yards and

667
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 6: three touchdowns. Jamar Chase sixteen catches, one hundred and sixty

668
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 6: one yards and a touchdown. Chase Brown had eleven carries

669
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 6: for one hundred and eight yards. When it came to Rogers.

670
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 6: For my fantasy team, he was twenty three to thirty four,

671
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 6: two hundred and forty nine yards, four touchdowns, and two interceptions.

672
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 6: In baseball, the Dodgers did top the Brewers three to one.

673
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 6: They are now one went away from advancing to the

674
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 6: World Series. The Brewers offense has struggled. They've only had

675
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 6: nine hits through these three games, compared to la who

676
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 6: has had twenty three hits. It's also the first time

677
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 6: Milwaukee is zero to three in his seven game series.

678
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 3: The Blue Jays have even the series.

679
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 2: In the ALCS.

680
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 6: After defeating the Mariners eight to two, Max Scherzer, in

681
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 6: his five hundredth career start, didn't want to come out

682
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 6: of the game, and this is what he had to

683
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 6: say to Derek Jeter and the guys on Fox.

684
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, it was a two hot situation. I

685
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 8: just checked the board. I think I was at sixty

686
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 8: nine or seventy pitches. My arm felt great, you know,

687
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 8: two outside Randy was coming up, and in my head

688
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 8: I was going through, you know, kind of in my

689
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 8: sequence of how I wanted to pitch Randy, you know,

690
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 8: thinking through the situation, and all of a sudden, I

691
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 8: see Schneid's coming out and it kind of caught me

692
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 8: off guard. And you know, that's just where one of

693
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 8: those moments where I know I won the ball. I

694
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 8: knew this situation of the game, I wanted the ball,

695
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 8: and I basically told him that in a little bit

696
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 8: different language.

697
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you don't say, you don't say, well, you know, yeah,

698
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 2: I think he said. He didn't even say that many

699
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 2: words to him.

700
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 6: He just gave him a death stare, and John said, Okay,

701
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 6: I'm on my way back to the dug out here.

738
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 1: Harper we talked about this about a week and a half.

739
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 1: Ago Bryce harper is a pretty good. Player he hasn't

740
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,359
Speaker 1: been elite in a long. Time and NOW i think

741
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 1: there's absolute proof that The phillies listened to the show

742
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 1: because we talked about. This, Look harper hasn't been a.

743
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,320
Speaker 1: Lite he was maybe elite for a couple of, years,

744
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 1: Right but the guys he's always the image Of Bryce

745
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: harper has always been better than the. Reality he is

746
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: an old thirty, two now he's an older thirty. Three

747
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: he went from everyday right. Fielder now he's playing first.

748
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: Base pretty soon he's going to be the designated. Hitter

749
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 1: he's not aging, great and he's not been great for a.

750
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:35,839
Speaker 1: While he has been pretty. Good, well apparently we feel

751
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: a little bit better about him Than Jim Dave dombrowski

752
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: because he said today About Bryce harper, quote he's still

753
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 1: a quality. Player he didn't have an elite season like

754
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: he's had in the. PAST i guess we only find

755
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: out if he becomes elite or he continues to be,

756
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 1: good not pretty, good said h. Good he continues to be.

757
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:00,839
Speaker 1: Good that's Who Bryce harper. Is i'm, sorry but, yes

758
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: he came up with all sorts of expectation and he showed,

759
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: that oh maybe he is the next great. Player and

760
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: a couple of years when people were afraid to pitch to,

761
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: him he got a lot of. Walks but he doesn't

762
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 1: knock in one hundred runs Every year's only done it

763
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 1: a couple of. Times you look at his numbers like

764
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: the guy's a twenty seven and seventy five guy for his,

765
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: career because part of it is being able to stay

766
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,320
Speaker 1: on the. Field when you get to thirty two thirty

767
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,399
Speaker 1: three and you're only playing one hundred and twenty five,

00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: in him and being that elite.

778
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 3: Player, yeah the rest of THE guo was essentially asking

779
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 3: the rhetorical is can he be that good? Again and

780
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 3: then he paused and, SAID i really don't know that. Answer, yeah, like, oh,

781
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:02,800
Speaker 3: okay but it's. TRUE i mean it's an old thirty.

782
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 3: Two we've talked about it as a guy that came

783
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 3: into the league with such great acclaim at. Eighteen that's

784
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:12,839
Speaker 3: a lot of weary miles on your. Body it's kind

785
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 3: of like Watching what's happened To Mike. Trout now he

786
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 3: had a longer. Runway didn't lead to any, winning but

787
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,879
Speaker 3: it led to a decade of ridiculous, stats eventually crashing into,

788
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 3: walls diving from, balls and everything else caught up on.

789
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 3: Him same thing With Bryce harper finally hit that point

790
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,919
Speaker 3: and now it's the next phase of the game as

791
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:38,800
Speaker 3: a first base and slash dh and, look whenever a

792
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 3: guy gets that kind of, money we know that the

793
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 3: back end usually isn't terribly, kind and you hope that

794
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 3: you've made up for it In jersey sales and whatever

795
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 3: you were able to. Do now the thing is for

796
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 3: a guy Like.

797
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 1: Harper, Right, okay if you're not that, guy don't try

798
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: to pull, everything don't try to put hit hit the

799
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 1: ball the other, way, Right it's okay to hit the

800
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 1: ball the other. Way, Look Freddy freeman got to thirty

801
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: two to thirty three and, say you know, What i'm

802
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,359
Speaker 1: gonna hit the ball the other way a lot. More

803
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 1: look At Freddie. Freeman he is still a superstar, player

804
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: and The dodgers are Winning World series Like Bryce, harper

805
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 1: be okay with that, man be okay with hitting the

806
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 1: ball the other. Way but look This phillies. Team i'll

807
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 1: tell you, what, MAN i. Know it was a bad

808
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: year for The. Mets mets. Collapsed For phillies have had

809
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 1: a squad the last couple of years and they can't

810
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 1: they can't get past this level right. Now they can't

811
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 1: get to the league championship. Series and now that's gonna

812
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,840
Speaker 1: be a lot of. Change telling, you, man you Watch Bryce,

813
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 1: harper this is gonna be a contract that's an albatross

814
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 1: for the for The, Phillies they're going to fall off

815
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:45,280
Speaker 1: the pace very quickly because this team is built around

816
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: Sluggers Bryce, harper and that guy third in the lineup

817
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,240
Speaker 1: now second in the lineup is not that guy, anymore

818
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 1: and he hasn't.

819
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 3: Been and when you.

820
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: Have to be able to replace guys with less unproven,

821
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: players because guys Like Kyle schwarber are gonna get forty

822
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,760
Speaker 1: five million dollars a year contract when you hit fifty

823
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 1: five home, runs that happens for. You like you watch

824
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:06,840
Speaker 1: the era of The, PHILLIES i feel pretty comfortable, that,

825
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 1: yeah they take a big step back next year and

826
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 1: Suddenly Bryce harper's, man this contract is killing.

827
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 3: Us, Yeah schworber eliminates a lot OF rbi. Opportunity but

828
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 3: the point isn't lost in terms of changing your hitting,

829
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 3: approach and you've got to be a, better more consistent

830
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 3: player of just putting the ball into play, right strikeout

831
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 3: count high once. Again but you look At, Robertson, Romano, Kepler, Real, Muto,

832
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 3: suarez And schwarber all free. Agents, YEAH i, mean how

833
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 3: many teams are lining up to go After. SCHWARBER i

834
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 3: mean there's a lot of talk In chicago that The cubs, say,

835
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,319
Speaker 3: Hey Kyle, tucker someone else can go sign. Years oh,

836
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:46,799
Speaker 3: yeah and welcome back the guy that never should have.

837
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 3: Left he can come be A dh for the next five.

838
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 3: Years like we don't have to worry about the lack

839
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 3: of tread on a player that's just A. Dh like

840
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 3: you could still hit late into your, thirties, man in

841
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 3: that you're not playing the field and you're just That

842
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,799
Speaker 3: clearly he's comfortable being a designated. Hitter, yeah someone's gonna

843
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 3: give him forty some million dollars a year and ain't

844
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,360
