Speaker 3: Watch out.

17
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: The only concern for the Dodgers in the World Series

18
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: they're starting pitching is gonna get a bounce.

19
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 3: They're not gonna pitch like this.

20
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, but show hey Otani starting to hit home runs

21
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: out of stadiums now, so maybe the Dodgers are gonna

22
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: be okay in the World Series.

23
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 3: My Carmen. I don't know, maybe it's just me.

24
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 4: Well, you know, the rumors of his demise greatly exaggerated,

25
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 4: and he had the little zippet motion as he rounded third,

26
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 4: as if he were sending a very loud message as

27
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 4: he waited for that baseball in the land. The reaction

28
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 4: from the Dodgers' bullpen and from the Fox Sports radio studios,

29
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 4: I can say, just an explosion of sound.

30
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 3: You know.

31
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: I gotta say a couple of things, but before we

32
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 1: get to something that really we should understand. What's going

33
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: on right now in the world of sports with Otani

34
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: is one. I love the fact that Patrick never even

35
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: looked like he threw the pitch, and he just looked

36
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: down and he scraped the ground with his shoe and

37
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: he was like, yep, okay, that's I'm not even gonna

38
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: look and see how far that one goes. I mean,

39
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: Otani homered out of the stadium, over the right field bleachers,

40
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: over the over the roof, and that you know out there,

41
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: that's where the Dodgers team store is. So just to

42
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: think about when I when I come to the stadium,

43
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: we always like to go in that way because the

44
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: Dodgers team store is out there, we always going to

45
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: buy something like that's at the far recesses of the ballpark,

46
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: Like it's just big parking lot, like right out where

47
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: Otani homeward and that's where he homered. To Man, I

48
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: sat there with my dad in the NLCS last year

49
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: and had lunch, and I'm saying to myself that ball

50
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: could have landed in our lunch if we were just

51
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: sitting out there, I mean we would be I'd be

52
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: eating helmet nachos. But like, that's where that ball would

53
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: have landed. That's how far he hit it. It's estimated four

54
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy feet, and you know what, I can't

55
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: even trust that. I feel like only only four hundred

56
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: and seventy feet, like like that's not that's not five

57
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 1: hundred feet Like really, like I I don't know how

58
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: they measure, and I've never gotten it.

59
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 3: I don't think I ever will.

60
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: But I mean, I really if that's not the furthest

61
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: home run that I've seen hit, and I don't know

62
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: how long, I don't know what is Man. Seen a

63
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: lot of big home runs, seen a lot of big

64
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: upper decker home runs. This one over the roof and

65
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: out of Dodger Stadium completely. I mean, that's that's that's

66
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: just absolutely something from Otani.

67
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 4: All of that to say it's it's fuzzy math. Uh yeah,

68
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 4: because it just that thing just kept traveling. And I've

69
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 4: never seen him watch a home run like that either. Yeah, whoa,

70
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 4: I really went and got that one, now, didn't I?

71
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 4: And then they're they're just showing the trajectory and the

72
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 4: the arc of the ball. Uh, from every vantage point

73
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 4: they can possibly find. Just an amazing, amazing blast. I mean,

74
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 4: considering you know how he started this game. Hey, I

75
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 4: walk a guy, I strike out the side, and then

76
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 4: oh yeah, let me hit a home run in the

77
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 4: first So like right off the jump, just a very

78
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 4: different electric night. Hopefully folks here in Los Angeles got

79
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 4: through traffic to get into the ballpark, because otherwise they

80
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 4: missed one hell of a start, you know.

81
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: And here's the thing right now, because not to be

82
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: prisoner of the moment, he oh.

83
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 5: No, no, you can do that. It's Friday nights. It's a

84
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 5: positivity thing.

85
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: It's got positivity Friday all right, right to think about

86
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: this right now, like you think about Okay, I'm turning

87
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: on I'm watching the Dodgers play the Brewers, Game four

88
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: the NLCS. Right, you're a baseball fan, you're Mary Hart.

89
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: You hear at the game you're watching. Hey, here's show

90
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: Heyo Tani doing stuff we've seen before, right, you know, pitching.

91
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: He's in the fifth inning, he's pitching a shutout. He's

92
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: got two home runs, including the longest home run that

93
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: I think any of us have hit, that any of

94
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: us have seen hit in quite a long time.

95
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 3: And we've seen this, right, So.

96
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 4: I got strikeouts and he's only allowed one hit, right.

97
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean all of this, right, just think

98
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 1: about think about this. Okay, we've seen this, right, We've

99
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: seen this, and I'm going to ask you something now. Again,

100
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: We're only through the top of the fifth inning, but

101
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: I want to ask you this right now, considering that

102
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: what Otani is doing on the mound two home runs

103
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: so far, are we watching the greatest playoff performance of

104
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: all time in Major League Baseball.

105
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 3: We've seen guys have big days hitting the ball, right.

106
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: We've seen Kirk Gibson hit a hole run to win

107
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: a World Series, to win a game in the World Series.

108
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: We've seen the Buckner play. We've seen all cod We've

109
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: seen Bobby.

110
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,559
Speaker 5: I mean, we've seen we've seen big moments.

111
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've seen Joe Carter. You know, we've seen that.

112
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 5: But yeah, I almost throwing a friend to Lake Michigan

113
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 5: after that.

114
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: So yeah, throwing a one hit shutout and two home runs.

115
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: I mean, are we watching the single greatest playoff performance

116
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: of all time in Major League Baseball? I mean, I

117
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: I don't know when you when you go to see

118
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: somebody do something bigger and better than this, like we

119
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: see this is just seems like a random and another

120
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: strikeout for Otani, Like this just seems like another random

121
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: Friday night of Otani pitching, you know, Otani doing Otani things.

122
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: And meanwhile, yeah, oh, by the way, this might be

123
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: the greatest playoff performance in baseball history.

124
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 4: No, it's just it, like you start thinking of all

125
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 4: the old things that will pop in your head, right,

126
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 4: the Reggie Jackson performances and all of those kinds of

127
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 4: things that roll through. But this, this is just electric,

128
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 4: and especially for a guy that quite clearly had been

129
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 4: hearing the always surrounding his name again with the little

130
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 4: zipp it thing at the end of it. But a

131
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 4: lot of the debate of all right, who's the MVP

132
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 4: of the series with a performance like this, does he

133
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 4: just walk off with the trophy? Just I'll take that

134
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 4: one with me, and I know that, Hey, I had

135
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 4: the chuckle yesterday to get things started. Yea, all the

136
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 4: great pitching performances, No, no, I also hit a couple of

137
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 4: home runs.

138
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 5: Give me the trophy.

139
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm taking that with me.

140
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,239
Speaker 4: Well, it's funny like, right as we're celebrating that ball

141
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 4: and wherever it may or may not have landed, suddenly

142
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 4: Miami made things a game and where they were getting

143
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 4: dominated by Louisville. So I got that on two screens here,

144
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 4: this stuff like, Wow, this is gonna be a great

145
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 4: Friday night.

146
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 3: Let's go.

147
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 1: I really, I just just think about this. It just

148
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: seems like a generic Friday. Dodgers are gonna win, They're

149
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: gonna go to the world.

150
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 3: Sit.

151
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: We've seen them do this for so long. Oh Tani

152
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: is cruising. But understand that sometimes we do take greatness

153
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: for granted, right just because we're we're a more ja

154
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: society now that we've ever been where. Oh it's not great,

155
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: you know, like I said, prisoner of the moment, But

156
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: understand that greatness like this and things like this. I

157
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: don't know when we're ever gonna see something like this again.

158
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,239
Speaker 1: Think back, what are you going back to, Babe Ruth

159
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: right in the nineteen twenties, the last time we've seen

160
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: someone do this and have a performance like this, leading

161
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: off two home runs, carrying his team at the plate,

162
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: one of the longest home runs we've ever seen hit,

163
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: and now another strikeout to end the fifth inning. He

164
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: probably has another two winnings in him. His pitch count

165
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: is low enough, he's around eighty pitches. I really, this

166
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: might be the most impressive, the best single game performance

167
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: in baseball history. And get to a television or listen

168
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: to us so we talk about it, because really, this

169
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: is something absolutely historic. Right, I still go, I still

170
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: am very upset that the night I miss Roy Halliday's

171
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: no hitter, Right, I missed his no hitter. It was

172
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: an off night for me at work and I was

173
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: out doing something and I literally came back and I

174
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: turn on the TV to see the fine and see

175
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: him going crazy after the final out, and everybody jumping

176
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: on top of my wife goes, oh did the Phillies win?

177
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 3: I go, No, this is something else? What is this is? Like?

178
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: I forget we were doing like we were out somewhere

179
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: and I wasn't, you know, keeping try but it was

180
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: it was a weekend or a night. I was off

181
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: and I'm like, okay, had the phone off and everything else.

182
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: I go, no, this is something else.

183
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 3: This is Oh my.

184
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: Goodness, I've been I've been hearing about Don Larson's perfect

185
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: game for like fifty years now, and I could have

186
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: seen a no hitter in Major League Baseball playoffs and

187
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: I missed it because we were out at a movie

188
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: going to see something I could have seen on cable and.

189
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 3: The mouth no.

190
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: But I'm like, wow, I'd always been upset that I

191
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: missed it life, because I still remember turning on the

192
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,319
Speaker 1: television to see him celebrate like he's pounding his glove

193
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: like it was the final out.

194
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 3: Just happened. And I mean, my wife goes.

195
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: Phillies won to go No, I don't know that they're

196
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: this because it did win the series. It didn't move

197
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 1: on to you know. I was like, oh, no, this

198
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: is this is something. This is much more. Oh no

199
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: hitter and I missed it. Okay, all right, that's great.

200
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 4: No, No, I mean there's some time after those, right,

201
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 4: I mean Saturdays, and there's a million college football games.

202
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 4: And if you're out and about right, you were coaching

203
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 4: softball and soccer and meet chasing my kids events around,

204
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 4: be it dance or soccer or whatever. I mean, there's

205
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 4: games you missed and then all of a sudden you're

206
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 4: looking at the phone, going, huh, that would have been

207
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 4: a fun three hour block to man not not be

208
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,479
Speaker 4: running around or sitting in traffic here in southern California.

209
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 5: But you know, that's the price of admission.

210
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 4: So when you do get a chance to sit and

211
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 4: watch in earnest, I mean, it's about as good as

212
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 4: it gets. Like watching from from the first pitch, you

213
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,199
Speaker 4: had an electric atmosphere there at Dodger Stadium, all the

214
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 4: anticipation of closing this thing out. Uh, and he walks

215
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 4: the leadoff, It's like, oh wait, wait, maybe in like

216
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 4: three straight strikeouts. After that, it's like, all right, no,

217
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 4: Tony's coming to the play. What do we got Bam

218
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 4: punch him in the face, Like okay. So you know,

219
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 4: just like that, you knew you were in for something different,

220
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 4: and right now we're just questioning how much how much

221
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 4: longer he can pitch?

222
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's it really, I mean, look this,

223
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: there's other bigger conversations to have. We are through five

224
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,599
Speaker 1: innings again, the Brewers have one hit. I feel like

225
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: they have one hit the entire series against the Dodgers

226
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: so far.

227
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 3: But like where we're at.

228
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: Right now, and look, things can change, obviously, you know,

229
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: because only the fifth inning of the game and Otani's

230
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: pitch con is getting up there. But if you're talking

231
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: about a guy he goes seven innings, strikes out what

232
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: say ten, ten or twelve or something like that, two

233
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: home runs maybe.

234
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 3: More like what else do you need to see?

235
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: I mean, like there's nobody it's done anything like this ever.

236
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: And it's not just like he started and won a

237
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: game and you can say, well, look how tough it

238
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: is to pitch it hit It's really difficult. No, this

239
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: is dominating it at the plate, dominating on the mound,

240
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: like I've never seen anything like this before. And it's

241
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 1: really when you when you see a guy do something

242
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: so great for such a sustained period of time, right,

243
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,479
Speaker 1: and we've seen Otani be great for a while.

244
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 3: It's easy to sit back and go.

245
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I've seen it, you know, and then you

246
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,319
Speaker 1: think back a few years from now, and you go.

247
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 3: Man, he really was Wow. Yeah that gate.

248
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 5: Wow.

249
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 3: I never thought about the historical significance of that.

250
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: But you know, you watch the Dodgers Otani hits that

251
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: ball in Freddie Freeman and Max Munts, You're like, what

252
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 1: the hell man, We're some of the best hitters in

253
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball.

254
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 3: We can't do any of that. No, that's it the

255
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 3: hell man.

256
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 5: They they did a great job.

257
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 4: However, many cameras they're operating there as part of this broadcast.

258
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 4: I mean they got a reaction from every person in

259
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 4: the dugout, in the in the bullpen and their reactions.

260
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 4: I mean, he had one guy he was humping the fence.

261
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 4: That was a little odd. You might want that dance

262
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 4: for later, but all of that to say, I.

263
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 1: Don't know if you can't dance like that after a

264
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: you know whatever, he was still love it.

265
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 4: I mean, if show had broken off that dance, I

266
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 4: would have understood, let's see Judge minus four hundred for

267
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 4: the MVP. But what was you know, as we were

268
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 4: talking about, it's like, he's gonna win it, but this

269
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 4: was the year where potentially he couldn't because of Raleigh's

270
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 4: heroics and his catching acumen, et cetera. I love if

271
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 4: you look in the current box score for the Dodgers

272
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 4: Otani tonight two for two, two runs, score, two on runs,

273
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,599
Speaker 4: two RBI and a two hundred batting average. But you

274
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 4: know what, it doesn't matter what are you doing tonight

275
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 4: and close out in fashion, I just start printing those

276
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 4: giant l shirts for Murphy and the and the Brewers.

277
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: Now, you know, And this is a thing like we

278
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: talked a lot about because I firmly do believe the

279
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: Dodger's gonna get a bounce in the World Series when

280
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 1: it comes to their starting pitching. Like to pitch like

281
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: this again is not gonna happen, right, That's just how

282
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: it goes.

283
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 3: Right.

284
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: This is not nineteen sixty seven where hey, every round

285
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: where you know, Jim Palmer's gonna go two and oh

286
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: in every round, and you know, and Bob Gibson's gonna

287
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: go two and oh in every series. Whatever it is,

288
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: they're gonna get a bounce. And we said, listen, that's

289
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: a big concern for the Dodgers right now. For the

290
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 1: flip side of it is maybe they're starting to hit

291
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: and that's that will make up to whatever bounce, they

292
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: get pitching, because really they've not hit this entire playoff really, right,

293
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: the very beginning against the Reds, Reds were overmatch, lucky

294
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: to get in, come on, needed a Mets collide.

295
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 5: They scored eighteen those games.

296
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean the Dodgers.

297
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 1: Once the Dodgers out of the second and they're like, yeah,

298
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: we're done, we don't need any more runs.

299
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 3: We're good.

300
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: But since then it's been difficult, right, And it's not

301
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: like these games against the Brewers up until now have

302
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 1: been Hey, we're we're allowing no and one run and

303
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: and one and three hits, like, you know, like we're

304
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: not and we're not winning like eight one or nine one,

305
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: like they're winning two to one and three to one,

306
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: and they're they're squeezing the sap out of their bats

307
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: to try to get some stuff across. But tonight they're

308
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 1: squaring up balls and Otani getting hot. That's just gonna

309
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 1: be contagious. He gets hot like this all of a sudden,

310
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: the rest of the lineup, it's gonna be like the

Speaker 3: TJ.

367
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: Caper's making a tremendously athletic play with Miami in field

368
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: goal range that could tie the game or they could

369
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: have won it. The ball gets tipped at the line

370
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. Capers comes into the flat, dives, grabs the

371
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,080

Speaker 1: at the end. Jeff Brown not happy with how Louisville

376
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:56,960

377
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 3: It's over. Louisville wins it. Over my mind.

378
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: Miami twenty four to twenty one, the number two team

379
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,080

383
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:12,800

385
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,919
Speaker 1: team than last year. Carson Beck, X Y and Z

386
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,880

00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 5: Well, let's just keep on going down the line.

406
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 4: I mean, they got Marcel Reid Julian saying, then you

407
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 4: get a break with Jeremiah Smith cracking the list at

408
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 4: plus eighteen hundred. Then you got Gunner Stockton. Just on principle,

409
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,199
Speaker 4: I want to root for a team that has a

410
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 4: guy named Gunner Stockton as.

411
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 5: My quarterback for a little while.

412
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 4: But look, he's just a huge Friday Night matchup though,

413
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 4: right coming in four and one Louisville, you've got Miami

414
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 4: Roland and then just crazy sequences down towards the end

415
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 4: because the third interception that deck through was immediately met

416
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 4: by a Louisville fumble. They gave it right back and

417
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 4: open the door, they score, get the two point conversion,

418
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 4: and just like that, we had ourselves a ballgame, but

419
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 4: Louisville able to hold them off and get done.

420
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 8: Guys, Yeah, Louisville really picked the wrong Knight to do

421
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 8: this though, No, yeah, no, they did Night the show,

422
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 8: Tony did something that's never been done.

423
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 5: Well, and Bill Belichick's gonna do some coaching that doesn't even.

424
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 4: He's still on the sideline. So had him vanquished and

425
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 4: defeated weeks ago.

426
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 3: There he is.

427
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 7: Uh.

00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: And I will say this, speaking of picking a band,

Speaker 1: win in the game from Miller Moss x USC quarterback.

432
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 1: We thought we thought he was the chosen one.

433
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 3: No, now I got to Louisville.

434
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,680

Speaker 1: having a really good year two so far for Louisville. Uh,

436
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: you're putting USC in its rear view mirror. Obviously we

437
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: thought he was gonna be great, right though, this is

438
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,160

467
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 1: the national title. Like that's how crazy this season was. Uh,

468
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: And that's kind of what we're getting right now in

469
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,360
Speaker 1: college football obviously, to be blunted a little bit at

470
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 1: the end, because yeah, a team like Miami, if this

471
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: is the only game they lose, okay, they're getting in

472
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 1: the playoff, right and and maybe they're a top four team,

473
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 1: but if not, they'll be a but this but obviously

474
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: this could be a loss like in the patul could

475
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: have knocked them out right, because you don't know how

476
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 1: the rest of the season's going to go for teams.

477
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: But so that's gonna blunt it a little bit. But

478
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: still for right now, watching Miami on a Friday night

479
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: at home lose to Louisville Man just.

480
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 4: To pick the right though, that is true, get magnified

481
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 4: the same way, and then there's a bunch of huge

482
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 4: games tomorrow. We'll talk to Pete fu Tech a little

483
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 4: later on in the show and preview some of them.

484
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 4: I mean, the Dan Patrick Show was emanating from South Bend.

485
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 4: A lot of pageantry there for what might be the

486
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 4: final matchup of USC and Notre Dame and USC.

487
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 5: We've talked about it here.

488
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 4: The spots that I do, you know, popping on over

489
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 4: the course of the week, you know, promoting the show

490
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 4: and the network and everything, and they always ask about

491
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 4: buzz or whatever, like, well, the Dodgers are one. Whether

492
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 4: Lebron James ever shows up for work is part two.

493
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 4: And then we start getting into the fact that we're

494
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 4: talking college football again around here.

495
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 5: Yeah, we were talking.

496
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 4: About whatever U c. L A Was and what they

497
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 4: are now, and certainly what's happening with Lincoln Riley and

498
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 4: USC you know, has jump started things a bit. Say

499
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 4: nothing of the Chargers and Rams and push that to

500
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 4: to another conversation. But I don't know, it's good to

501
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 4: have all of that swirling about and tomorrow be a

502
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 4: big day of college football.

503
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 5: And yeah, it's.

504
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 4: Unfortunate or I guess fortunate for Miami that it happens

505
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 4: on a night where it's just gonna be a montage.

506
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 4: How far did that home run really go? Let's bring

507
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 4: out the myths.

508
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: Exit out about a Fresca exit swalling down the Jason

509
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon. I mean

510
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 1: that interception, just for a second, that is such an

511
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: incredibly athletic play to clinch the game. Number one, the

512
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: clutchness of it, because look, it's twenty four to twenty one,

513
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: and Miami has a chance to put all of this

514
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: bad game, to put this bad game behind them, Carson

515
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 1: Beck has a chance. Like the final drive, they're deep

516
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: in in Louisville territory and they throw this ball in

517
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,360
Speaker 1: the flat and it's it looks like, well, okay, it's

518
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 1: gonna get tipped, and somehow Caper is able to leap.

519
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 1: And the fact that he holds on to the top

520
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 1: of the football like that, that's what gets me about

521
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,199
Speaker 1: this play. It's not like he jumped in front, it

522
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: got deflected and just hit him in the stomach. Like

523
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 1: the ball gets deflected. He follows the path of the

524
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 1: ball and he's able to all of the split second

525
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: and he holds onto the ball going to the ground

526
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 1: and he's holding the top of the That's.

527
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 3: Where he catches it.

528
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: He catches the top of the football, and he has

529
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: the presence of mind to be able to yank it

530
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: up when he hits the ground and hold on to it.

531
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: So clearly there was no way you were going to

532
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 1: overturn this where I don't know how many times out

533
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: of I don't know nine and a half times out

534
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: of ten is a play like that happened where the

535
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: guy catches it and and and but falls to the

536
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 1: ground and the ball hits the ground and it's called

537
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 1: incomplete and they they run the playover like that is

538
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 1: some kind of play by Capers to clinch this game

539
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: for Louisville.

540
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 5: Man, that is big one to ceiling take.

541
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 4: Have everybody start burning those Carson Bag Heisman tickets. No, okay,

542
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 4: ride not really because this year is so crazy. I

543
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 4: mean just because he got one shutout game here, right

544
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 4: and zero touchdowns, four picks. I mean, it's a it's

545
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 4: a bad one, but there's still plenty of opportunity to

546
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 4: to re engage. But yeah, just a crazy night across

547
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 4: our sporting universe. We still got Lakers basketball together.

548
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 8: Nothing really matters elsewhere except show tonight.

549
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: Well yeah, well, que you could have another home run.

550
00:24:58,160 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: I mean, we could get another home run out of him,

551
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: who knows, right, Like, I mean if maybe it's three

552
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 1: home runs tonight.

553
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,880
Speaker 4: I just like that after every pitch he's screaming at

554
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 4: something or somebody, after every strikeout, the emphatic celebratory motions

555
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 4: and gestures, and certainly the peacocky after that second home run.

556
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 4: I mean they're gonna be like nine tops now, cards

557
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,360
Speaker 4: coming out from each part of him rounding the bases.

558
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: Now we may wind up getting to the end of

559
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 1: Otani's night. He has just hit pitch number one hundred,

560
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: and pitch number one hundred was knocked into center field

561
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: by contraras Fra. The Brewers now have runners at first

562
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: and second with nobody out, and here comes the Grim Reaper.

563
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: Here comes Dave Roberts to take out Show. Hey, Otani,

564
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 1: tell he is I don't love to see anyay, Like

565
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 1: you know. Otani calls as interpreter oute so we can

566
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 1: tell him he's in the game, and he just has it.

567
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 4: He just does a giant motion of no in the

568
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 4: safe sign, like I'm not leaving.

569
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, everybody could could you.

570
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: Get Ai to do a Vince Scully ed Here come

571
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,640
Speaker 1: Show Hayes interpreter say, hey, Dave, you know what I think?

572
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 1: This is fertilizer. Oh yeah, I'll tell you all about fertilizer.

573
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: You want to put fertilizer down in your backyard? You

574
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: put fertilizer down. Oh, Toddy says, oh yeah, I got

575
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,120
Speaker 1: double the fertilizer for you right here day.

576
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 4: Surprised you haven't extended that from the Fred rogers A

577
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 4: videos you've been watching all who hurt you, Jason, fertilizer.

578
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 4: Fertilizer one of the highest words in the English language,

579
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 4: especially as versed and as spoken by Vin Scully.

580
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 3: So Dodgers going to the bullpen.

581
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 1: Alex Vesia will be coming in now to try to

582
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: save this four run lead again. The Dodgers hunting outs

583
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 1: right now. They are nine outs away from the World Series,

584
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 1: but Milwaukee with a threat right now. To on nobody

585
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 1: out in the top of the seventh inning for more

586
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,199
Speaker 1: on this game and the rest of what's now becoming

587
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 1: an incredible night in sports.

588
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 3: We have a guy who's.

589
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: Been called the Vin Scully of Fox Sports Radio. I've

590
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: seen him in the store buying fertilizer as well. It's

591
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: deep to say it, and.

592
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 9: A very pleasant, good evening to you wherever you may

593
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 9: be at Dodger Stadium. You cannot overstate the evening that

594
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 9: show Hal Toddy had. He just came out after six

595
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 9: plus innings of pitching. He's hit two home runs. The

596
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 9: Dodgers are up four to nothing over top seeded Milwaukee

597
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 9: top of the seventh, looking to complete a four game

598
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 9: sweep in the National League Championship Series. I know Roger

599
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 9: Clemens once had a playoff game that was a one

600
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 9: hit shutout with fifteen strikeouts. I don't recall what he

601
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,719
Speaker 9: did at the plate that particular night, but this is

602
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 9: astounding what has got on. Let's start with the top

603
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 9: of the first, after the leadoff walk, Otani, the pitcher

604
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 9: struck out three straight batters to end the frame, then

605
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 9: hustled and became the leadoff hitter in the Dodgers order

606
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 9: and homered in the box him of the first to

607
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 9: start things that went nearly four hundred and fifty feet

608
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 9: bottom of the fourth, another home run even longer, about

609
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 9: four hundred and seventy feet over the roof.

610
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 5: In right field.

611
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 9: Apparently to hit it over the roof in right has

612
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 9: only happened with Kyle Schwarber and Willie Stargel before you

613
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 9: can add Otani's name to that list. And the fan

614
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 9: who got the ball, by the way, and again this

615
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 9: did not land in the seats over the roof. And

616
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,479
Speaker 9: as you say, toward the concessions and the team store,

617
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 9: the guy was eating nachos out there and saw another

618
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 9: fan looking up in the air and a ball was

619
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 9: actually coming that far away where they were standing, and

620
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 9: he ran to the bushes.

621
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: And Jan and I had nachos there in the NLCS

622
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 1: last year, and that's where he hit the ball.

623
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 3: I mean, we're sitting right there.

624
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 9: They've had stat cast for a decade now to measure

625
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 9: miles per hour off the bat and you know, distance

626
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 9: of home runs and all of that. So at Dodger Stadium,

627
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 9: Otani eight different times has hit a home run at

628
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 9: least four hundred and fifty feet. If you look at

629
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 9: a list of the top twenty hardest hit baseballs any

630
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 9: Dodger has had in the last decade, the top eighteen

631
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 9: are all Otani's and he's only been with the team

632
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 9: two years. The Dodgers are one of the rare teams

633
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 9: to go up three games to none and a best

634
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 9: of seven when your opponent had the best record in

635
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 9: the regular season. Every time it's happened before, it wound

636
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 9: up a four game to none sweep. The last time

637
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 9: about twenty years ago, when the Red Sox swept the

638
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 9: World Series against the Saint Louis Cardinals. Not quite to

639
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 9: the final stats for Otani, since, as you mentioned, Vessi

640
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 9: is on in relief, no outs first and second. Top

641
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 9: of the seventh inning, Otani allowed a leadoff walk in

642
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 9: a single and was removed after in even one hundred

643
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 9: pitches but a two hitter. Through his six plus innings,

644
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 9: Otani struck out ten and walked three. The Dodgers would

645
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 9: be hosting a Game five on Saturday nights. We had

646
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 9: ALCS Game five in Seattle tonight, and my goodness, what

647
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 9: a bottom of the eighth for the home team. Keep

648
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 9: in mind the context. The Seattle Mariners the only team

649
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 9: out there that have literally never been to a World Series.

650
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 9: They're up three games to two in the ALCS thanks

651
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 9: to five runs in the bottom of the eighths to

652
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 9: defeat Toronto six to two. Col Raley the tying solo

653
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 9: homer Grand Slam for a Jhenneo Suarez, who also hit

654
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 9: one out a solo shot in the second. The slam

655
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 9: came right after two walks in a hit batter. Game

656
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 9: six is Sunday night at Toronto on FS one, and

657
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 9: by the way, an injury for the Blue Jays tonight

658
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 9: for DH George Springer, he left hit by a pitch

659
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 9: on the knee. I mean it cracked the knee bone.

660
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 9: It even registered on statcasts as a batted ball, and

661
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 9: it did not hit the wood of the bat. It

662
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 9: hit the bone of the batter. San Francisco tight end

663
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 9: George Kittle will return Sunday night after a torn hamstring.

664
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 9: On opening Day, San Francisco will host Atlanta. Quarterback Brock

665
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 9: Purty out again for the Niners with the toe injury.

666
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 9: Mac Jones will start, and we had the upset in

667
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 9: college football at number two Miami. Carson Beck throws four interceptions,

668
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 9: including one in the final minute. Louisville beats the Hurricanes

669
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 9: twenty four twenty one, each team five and one this season,

670
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 9: each team with one loss in conference play, and right

671
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 9: now on Fox TV early fourth quarter, Minnesota has gone

672
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 9: up twenty one to six against twenty fifth rank Nebraska.

673
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 9: About to start North Carolina at cal and Utah State

674
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 9: as a halftime lead ten to nine against San Jose State.

675
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 3: Back to you, Thank you, Steve O.

676
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon,

677
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 1: Quick update.

678
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 3: What do you got, Frostburg? What do you got? What

679
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 3: do you got Frostburg? What do you got? You?

680
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, you all right there, Okay, it looks like

681
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 1: the Dodgers are getting out of the inning. Alex Vesia

682
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: came in, got the first batter out, and then Freelick

683
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: grounds into a double play to Mookie Betts. So all

684
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the Brewers, who are feeling pretty good

685
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: two on nobody out grounded to Bets, who takes himself

686
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: to second, over to Freddie Freeman, and now the Dodgers

687
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: are six outs away from the World Series. They lead

688
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 1: the Brewers for nothing, coming to bat in the bottom

689
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: of the seventh inning. An incredible night. I don't know

690
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 1: where we're going for. I don't know what we got

691
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: from here. I don't think we have Matt. I think

692
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 1: we have Matt rules gonna lose. I think the Braska

693
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: fall now and now he's not getting that job.

694
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 8: Ared.

695
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: We got Bill Belichick's got a game coming up see

696
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,480

716
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 1: I was kidding when I said this a few minutes ago,

717
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 1: but now it turns out I'm a prophet when I said, Hey,

718
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: you never know, show Heo TONI might hit a third

719
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 1: home run tonight.

720
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 3: Yeah? Is he really gonna hit three home runs? You

721
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 3: really go to pitch to him? Show Heyo.

722
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: Tani has just hit his third home run of the

723
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: night to give the Dodgers a five nothing lead in

724
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: the bottom of the seventh inning. This one hit to

725
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: center field, little bit to right center. Looked the dugout

726
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: as soon as he finished his swing. Again, you are

727
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: watching the single greatest performance in baseball history in the playoffs.

728
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: We have never seen anything like this ever. Otani is

729
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: three for three with three home runs, including one home

730
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: run four hundred and seventy feet because he hit it

731
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: out of Dodger Stadium, and I think four to seventy

732
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 1: is a little light with whw they were measuring it.

733
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: He hit it over the roof into the into the

734
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: area where I told you the last year the NLCS,

735
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: my dad and I had nachos there before the game.

736
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: It's in front of the team store, which abuts the

737
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 1: parking lot, so you could walk in from the parking lot.

738
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 3: Oh, I'd catch a home run ball.

739
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, six innings for show, hey, Otani,

740
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: ten strikeouts, two hits allowed. Again, you are watching the

741
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 1: greatest individual performance in playoff history Major League Baseball. And

742
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 1: it really I mean, I know hyperbole in prison of

743
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: the moment, but there's never been anything like this ever.

744
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 1: This is an absolutely historic night. I want to talk

745
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: about football. Luckily at five minutes, talk about the Hurricanes

746
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 1: getting upset. Oh TONI might have another home run, although

747
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 1: he's probably not gonna bad again. But like I mean,

748
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 1: I mean, three home run. We can't get to football.

749
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to the football at some point, but

750
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 1: I mean it, this is a night that we've seen

751
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 1: guys have big home runs, big nights in the playoffs before.

752
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 3: Three home runs in one playoff.

753
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: Game, Okay, yeah, that's a If he just did that,

754
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 1: you would say, wow, what an unbelievable individual performance. Wins

755
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: the last time we saw something like that. But six

756
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 1: innings of two hit ball with ten ten strikeouts, yeah,

757
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 1: pretty safe to say we've not seen anyone do this

758
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 1: in a game ever in one hundred and forty plus

759
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:48,720
Speaker 1: years of Major League baseball.

760
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is just insanity. I mean when you look

761
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 4: at if you just take the mound part of it,

762
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 4: it's still ridiculous, particularly when you're waiting for the you know,

763
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 4: as you like to say, the bad penny, and there

764
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:07,280
Speaker 4: were none in the rotation during this round. Good job, brust, congratulations,

765
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 4: out of job done. They still beat the Cubs, so

766
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 4: they still got that going for him, so they can

767
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 4: antagonize them. But outside of that, I mean, this is

768
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 4: one of those where you just tip your cap. No,

769
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,840
Speaker 4: they cry about payroll and whatever else, but Otani on

770
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 4: both ends of this has just been remarkable. Right, we

771
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 4: talk about great pitching performances, and particularly in twenty twenty five, right,

772
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 4: contextualize as you will. You and I have watched a

773
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,879
Speaker 4: lot of baseball, You me, Steve Alex and our guy

774
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 4: justin Like we've watched a lot of baseball. We've seen

775
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 4: some tremendous pitching performances in twenty twenty five. What we've

776
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,319
Speaker 4: seen from this staff and with Otani tonight, that ranks

777
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:46,839
Speaker 4: about as good as you get, right, because we don't

778
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 4: get guys going deep into games anymore normally. It's how

779
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 4: many relievers do we have to spin out over a

780
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 4: final four innings to preserve a victory. No, these guys

781
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 4: are going deep into games, deep into pitch counts and

782
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 4: making it happen and then reome runs like the third

783
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 4: at bats, like he just dropped the bat and like,

784
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 4: well I was waiting.

785
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 5: For a full on Jordan shrug, Yeah, I mean what

786
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:09,839
Speaker 5: else you might mean?

787
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 3: What else?

788
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:10,359
Speaker 4: Right?

789
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 1: I mean, like he wasn't hitting. That's the one thing

790
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 1: he wasn't doing right. Otani wasn't hitting. We talked, it's

791
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: a big deal, right, when Otani's not hitting that's a

792
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 1: big thing, right, your leadoff batter is not getting on base. Yeah,

793
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: they're pitching really well in this in this postseason. Right,

794
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,760
Speaker 1: They've allowed I think half a run in three games,

795
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 1: and they could have done The Bruis would have doubled

796
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: their runs if Bryce Terrang would just got hit in

797
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: Game two. But uh, but now all of a sudden,

798
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: here comes Otani hitting, and it gets infectious and contagious,

799
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: and I mean, I think the Dodgers are going, Man,

800
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna have days off now.

801
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 3: Man, this sucks.

802
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 1: We want to keep playing. Otani's like, I don't want

803
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 1: to have like four or five days off.

804
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 3: I want to I gotta keep playing.

805
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 1: Can't we just jump right to the World Series and

806
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 1: start Look the Mariners are up three too, they probably

807
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: will win.

808
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 3: Let's just let's just go to that. Let's just have

809
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:58,359
Speaker 3: play there. Can we do that right now?

810
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 4: You know, when we were talking about it, over the

811
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 4: course of these days, while he's not had great at bats,

812
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 4: each and every time he has had the circumstances where

813
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 4: he's drawn the intentional walk, and then what happened. They

814
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 4: immediately walked Mookie Betts behind him with the bases loaded.

815
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 4: So I mean, there have been impactful moments that don't

816
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 4: show up in the box score in the highlights quite

817
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 4: the same way. But you look at this game tonight.

818
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 4: If if the good folks at stat muse my quick

819
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,839
Speaker 4: search are proper, there's only been twelve games with three

820
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 4: home runs in the modern era in the playoffs.

821
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, but not to any that pitched.

822
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 4: Also, No, I mean Chris Taylor, Enrique Aernandez, Altuve, Sandoval, Pools, Beltray,

823
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 4: Adam Kennedy, George Brett, Reggie Jackson, Bob Robertson and two

824
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 4: from Babe Ruth.

825
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, but it's it that brings down Otani's performance from

826
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 8: tonight though.

827
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 5: Mentioning all those names, Well, no, I mean I just

828
00:38:58,440 --> 00:38:59,320
Speaker 5: thought it was fun.

829
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 1: No, but he's just going just from this single game

830
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: perspective of hitting. This is a this is an all

831
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 1: time game.

832
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 4: I got to bring up and Chris Taylor, I mean,

833
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,240
Speaker 4: come on, they don't matter tonight.

834
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I I it's but just think about that,

835
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 1: like where we would be arguing, where's Otani's performance all

836
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 1: time in baseball history in a close out game of

837
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 1: the NLCS, just hitting right?

838
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 3: Like, where would that be? Oh?

839
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 1: No, by the way, you add the six innings to two,

840
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: it ball that strikeouts, and then all of a sudden,

841
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 1: oh yeah, oh maybe maybe.

842
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 3: Nothing else is even close.

843
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 1: Maybe it's not even That's why I really hope people

844
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,439
Speaker 1: to get and hopefully Blake Trinon does not blow this game,

845
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 1: because that clearly could happen now as he's in the

846
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 1: game and the Brewers put the first two runners on

847
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: base in the top of the eighth inning with nobody out,

848
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 1: so still a little bit ways to go. But uh,

849
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 1: that doesn't put any damper on what Otani has done.

850
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I hope you got to see this or

851
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 1: see some of it, because you're never going to see

852
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 1: something like this again. I mean, unless Otani does it again.

853
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 1: But I mean, really I got until he does it again,

854
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 1: you're never.

855
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 3: Gonna see this again.

856
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,040
