00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: but joining us now in the hot line for the

27
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: biggest story at all of sports the Lions bye week.

28
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: The World Series. Game one goes to the Blue Jays.

29
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: They knock Blake Snell out of a pitcher's duel and

30
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: turn it into a laugher. Eleven four is your final

31
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: fourteen hits for the Jays. Nine run bottom of the

32
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: sixth inning. Oh boy, how much trouble the Dodger's in

33
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: Joining us now in the hot line MLB Network Insider extraordinaire.

34
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,639
Speaker 1: He is on Twitter at John Morosi. It is the Pope,

35
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: John Paul Morosi. Pope. What's happening? Man? How are you?

36
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 3: I am doing great, my friends. Good evening on the

37
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 3: West coast, good morning in the Eastern time zone. And

38
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 3: I think, my friends, we have got a World Series

39
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 3: on our hands.

40
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: You know, we talked about this a lot, because we

41
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: mentioned this going in. I know you and I mentioned it.

42
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: We mentioned it last week. The Dodgers were going to

43
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: get a bounce starting pitching wise, coming from the NLCS,

44
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: are not going to go We're not going to see

45
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: the performance like they just had again in the World Series. Right,

46
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: didn't think it was going to be quite like this

47
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: for the Blue Jays. Dodgers starting pitching, and where they

48
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: sit right now going into Game two. Where are you.

49
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 3: John Paul Well, I'll say this, the reason the Dodgers

50
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 3: lost this game was not starting pitching. In my estimation,

51
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 3: I think it was obviously a two to two game.

52
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 3: Midway through, I will say this, the Jays ran up

53
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 3: a high pitch count on Blake Snell, which led to

54
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 3: the bullpen, which ultimately was the Dodgers' downfall. The Dodgers

55
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 3: also had some sloppy moments on the basis both teams

56
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 3: ran a thousand the bases in the first half of

57
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 3: the game. But I do think when you consider the

58
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 3: way the Dodgers were playing early, they missed some chances

59
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 3: when you Savage was still trying to find his way,

60
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 3: they missed some chances that they typically cash in on

61
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 3: to take a bigger lead and put more stress on

62
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 3: the Jays. And then maybe at that point when Snell

63
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 3: leaves the game. It's a stronger part of the Dodger

64
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 3: Pennant's coming in and then maybe the entire entire middle

65
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 3: part of the game and the ending that changed everything.

66
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 3: Perhaps it unfolds very very differently, But this is I'm

67
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 3: describing right now a Dodger team that offensively was a

68
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 3: little bit off in their execution. That happens when you

69
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 3: take a week off of games. That's a reality of

70
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 3: the layoff that they just had. But the other piece

71
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 3: of this is the Blue Jays have a really good team.

72
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 3: And I don't know why there was such surprise at

73
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 3: the Jays being competitive with the Dodgers. They batted basically

74
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 3: three hundred for the first two rounds of this postseason.

75
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 3: They've got a really good lineup, and the Dodgers, we

76
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,119
Speaker 3: know they've got a great team to the reigning World

77
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 3: Series champions. But it doesn't surprise me that the Jays

78
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 3: worked better at bats against Snell than what the Dodgers

79
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 3: had to deal with against the Milwaukee Brewers and even

80
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 3: against the Phillies to an extent, the Jays put the

81
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 3: ball in play. They only struck out four times tonight,

82
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 3: So there's a lot to like about the way that

83
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 3: the Jays are setting up right now and today affirmed

84
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 3: that the Jays are at the very least a very

85
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 3: very worthy opponent for the Los Angeles Dodgers. And if

86
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 3: the Dodgers don't make their pitches, the Jays are going

87
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 3: to sting them in a way that just did not

88
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 3: happen for the Dodgers the first three rounds of this postseason.

89
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 4: JP, all of that that you just said was great.

90
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 4: It requires that people watch the games and not just

91
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 4: count how much they spent on players, right.

92
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 3: I mean again, I'm not saying for a chief shot

93
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 3: at Jason, but the Mets had the Mets actually had

94
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 3: the highest favor le baseball. They didn't make the playoffs,

95
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 3: so there is no promise in this sport. May I

96
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 3: introduce all of you ladies and gentlemen to baseball. There

97
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 3: are no that it's always been uh and and there

98
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 3: are plenty of times you go back to the history

99
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 3: of the game. Arguably one of the most beloved Dodger

100
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 3: championships ever, eighty eight was a series in which very

101
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 3: few people gave them a chance to be competitive, let

102
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 3: alone win it, and and they won the thing decidedly.

103
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 3: So it's it's important to keep that in mind that

104
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 3: we can be surprised with baseball and the greatest weakness

105
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 3: of this Dodger team, which is the middle part of

106
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 3: the of the game, the gap between the starters and

107
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 3: then whether it sasaki or trying are really dialed in

108
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 3: and doing great. It's that gap, and teams that put

109
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 3: the ball in play and move the line and work

110
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 3: deep at bats have the best chance to ring up

111
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 3: a high pitch count on the starter and get into

112
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 3: the middle part of the bullpen. Now, I didn't think

113
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 3: they were gonna score nine runs in one inning, but

114
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 3: this is the kind of thing that can happen when

115
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 3: you've got a very smart lineup, which the Blue Jays have,

116
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 3: against a starting staff that really hasn't been challenging this

117
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 3: quite in this way. The Phillies obviously have a lot

118
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 3: of name brand players. The Phillies were not swinging the

119
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 3: bat as well as the Jays are swinging it right now,

120
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 3: and the Jays are still on the emotional high of

121
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 3: just having beaten the Mariners in a seven game series.

122
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 3: Momentum in a postseason is a very real thing, and

123
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 3: right now it belongs to the Toronto Blue Jays.

124
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, as We've talked about it, the much beligned bullpen,

125
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 4: but they're down one of their surest r right with

126
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 4: Vesia not being available. We were talking about that, Jason

127
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 4: and I with Steve De Sager a bit earlier that

128
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 4: you know, six great scoreless appearances for him, a guy

129
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 4: you leaned on almost seventy times this year. That's a

130
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 4: big hole to fill against a team that is as

131
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 4: patient and as persistent as this Blue Jays lineup.

132
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 3: Well, you really right, And for those that are are

133
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 3: maybe just tuning in or don't know the full backstory,

134
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 3: Alex Vessi is away right now because of a very

135
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 3: serious family emergency, and it's not on the Dodger roster,

136
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 3: and he has been, Mike, to your point, one of

137
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 3: their most important relief pitchers for the entirety of this

138
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 3: season and especially of the playoffs. So this is a

139
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 3: very significant absence. Obviously, there are way more important things

140
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 3: going on than baseball for him and for his family,

141
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 3: so certainly our prayers are with them. But tonight I

142
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 3: did add that thought a couple of different moments in

143
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 3: the game, that they're missing one of their most important

144
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 3: players right now, and obviously they're trying to more than

145
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 3: anything to support him and pick him up. And I

146
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 3: think Andrew Friedman made the comment earlier today. I believe

147
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 3: that they didn't really even want to put Alex on

148
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 3: the roster through via a family emergency scenario where he

149
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 3: could then be added back on, because they just want

150
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 3: to send the message him and his family that listened,

151
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 3: don't feel like you have to rush back to get

152
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 3: into this thing in the middle of the series. Take

153
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 3: the time be with your family. As heartbreaking it as

154
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 3: it is to not be able to compete with his teammates.

155
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 3: I think it was the right sensitive decision for the

156
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 3: Dodgers to make, and certainly, from a pure baseball strategic standpoint,

157
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 3: your heart breaks for him on a human level, but

158
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 3: certainly the Dodgers missed one of their very best teammates

159
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 3: and relievers.

160
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: Here tonight, John Paul Moros the MLB Network Insider, where

161
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: us Jason Smith, Mike Carmon live from the Fox Sports

162
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: Radio studios. Okay, So, seeing what we saw in game one,

163
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: if I'm looking forward to game two, John Paul, complete

164
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: the sentence for me. What I expect to see from

165
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: the Dodgers in Game two is blank. Try to say

166
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: trying to digest what's going on here Game one eleven four.

167
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: What you expect to see from the Dodgers in Game

168
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: two is what better better.

169
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 3: At bats, better at bats. And and that's because first

170
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 3: of all, they're a better offense than what they showed tonight.

171
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 3: Uh and and to be honest, they they did have

172
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 3: three hits of men scoring position, they still scored four runs. Listen,

173
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 3: four runs is often plenty to win postseason games when

174
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 3: you're pitching. Is really on point, and I think that,

175
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 3: to me is is the big thing is that there's

176
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 3: now I think a little bit of an elevated sense

177
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 3: of of of difficulty on on Yamamoto's play tomorrow. Now,

178
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 3: let's be clear, the last time we saw Yamamoto pitch,

179
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,719
Speaker 3: he had a complete game against the Brewers and and

180
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 3: basically allowed nothing after the first batter of the game.

181
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 3: I mean, he is special. Now I think he's facing

182
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 3: a tougher lineup. I think he's also facing a tougher environment.

183
00:09:55,880 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 3: This this Toronto crowd, now, their their confidence has ever

184
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 3: been higher than it is right now. And they are

185
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 3: they are, I think, arriving tomorrow with confidence and believing

186
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 3: that hey, could we actually take a to nothing lead

187
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 3: on the Dodgers, the Mighty Dodgers. Now the I think

188
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 3: on the Jay side of things, they've got a veteran

189
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 3: starter and Kevin Gosman, who certainly has a greater pedigree

190
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 3: than what Trey Savage did in You Savages start tonight,

191
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 3: but he's also a bit more of a known commodity

192
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 3: for the Dodgers, and also in some ways his repertoire

193
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 3: matches up well with with what they saw from a Savage,

194
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 3: so they they should be relatively attuned to what they're

195
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 3: going to see from Gosman, who not long ago was

196
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 3: actually pitching in the National League westn of San Francisco Giants.

197
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 3: So there is the known commodity. There's a lot of

198
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 3: reasons as I look at the series and look at

199
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 3: the at bats and the lineups and the veteran players,

200
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 3: and certainly Otani got going late with a home run.

201
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 3: So there's there's things in the way the Dodgers play

202
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 3: tonight that telling me that they're not that far off

203
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 3: that maybe with one game one loss, or they've now

204
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 3: experienced the atmosphere in Toronto, they're snap back into reality

205
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 3: after having the week long layoff. They should be themselves

206
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 3: again should be and there's a very high likelihood, in

207
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 3: my opinion, the Dodgers go out tomorrow win the game

208
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 3: and even the series. That's what you would expect to

209
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 3: happen based on a lot of the things that I

210
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 3: just laid out there. And yet tonight reminded us that

211
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 3: baseball is unpredictable unless you're my colleague Dan Pleisak, who

212
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 3: called a home run a grand slam from Barger before

213
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 3: the game. It's very hard to predict this sport, and

214
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 3: I think that's where a lot of us are right

215
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 3: now entering Game two.

216
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 4: All Right, now, I have questions, and I should have

217
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 4: looked up odds for Barbers hitting over, But I mean

218
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 4: that's the romanticism of this game, right, Bishett comes back

219
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 4: and give them what he can physically, right, playing a

220
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 4: little second base, made a play a base, right, So

221
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 4: the first game back, so you check that box and

222
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 4: then you get the youngster, you know, first at bat,

223
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 4: grand slam swing. And we've been doing all sorts of

224
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 4: research tasks here JP, trying to put it in perspective,

225
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 4: much like we did with the Otani game last week.

226
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 3: Right, Well, I mean there's a lot on the Blue

227
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 3: Jays side to digest. But let's be clear about this.

228
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 3: What they did tonight, while historic, I would not describe

229
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,719
Speaker 3: it as shocking. It's only shocking if you just if

230
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 3: this is the first game that you've seen the Blue

231
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 3: Jays playoff season, which is admittedly the case for some fan.

232
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 3: Let me introduce you. Let me introduce you to the

233
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 3: last series they played in which in Game three on

234
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 3: the road they were down oh two, difficult circumstances against

235
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 3: a really good starting pitcher in George Kirby. They won

236
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 3: thirteen to four. The next night they won eight to two.

237
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 3: They scored twenty one runs in a span of two

238
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 3: games against a team that is known for great pitching.

239
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 3: And then they went on and beat them four to three,

240
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 3: and they came back and beat him in Game seven.

241
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 3: They beat him in Game six, six to two. This

242
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 3: is again historic, first pinch at Grand Slam in history

243
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 3: of the World Series. From Barger, that's pretty remarkable. You

244
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:19,839
Speaker 3: look at some of the other at bats. Ernie Clement

245
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,479
Speaker 3: right now is batting four to thirty five in the postseason.

246
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 3: Vlad Durero Junior is batting four to forty seven in

247
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 3: the postseason. Barger, who with the home run is batting

248
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 3: three twenty four. These guys didn't just they didn't just

249
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 3: stumble out of a hockey rink and put on baseball

250
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 3: almost and they tried to swing the bat. They have

251
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 3: very recently been a very strong offensive club, as I referenced,

252
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 3: scoring twenty one runs over two games against the Seattle Mariners.

253
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 3: So this is a very impressive historic night. It is

254
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 3: not from where I sit a surprising one as someone

255
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 3: who just covered them for seven games in the American

256
00:13:58,880 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 3: League Championship Series.

257
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: All right, now, lastly, John Paul, as everybody knows you

258
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 1: are our Lions whisperer. Your record this year and picking

259
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: Lions games is incredibly accurate. Look like a ninety three

260
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: percent picking Lions games. They have a bye this week,

261
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: so I'm going to ask you for a little freelance

262
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: pick Michigan and Michigan State tomorrow National Game. Half the

263
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: state that you live in is going to love you.

264
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: Half the state is gonna hate you. What do you think?

265
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 3: Also true of my family, by the way, are as

266
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 3: they would describe a divided household in many ways, my

267
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 3: father a proud Michigan State alum. I'm gonna say.

268
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: This you don't say my father hates me, You're gonna

269
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: start listick people. Yeah, my father, I've got.

270
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 3: I'll say this. I think that there, this game is

271
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 3: going to be closer than a lot of people believe

272
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 3: that it will. I've got this as a Michigan thirty

273
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 3: five Michigan State twenty four. I've got it thirty five

274
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 3: twenty four. Michigan State competitive, able to discore some points.

275
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 3: I realized offense has been a bit of a struggle.

276
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 3: They scored thirteen points and back to back weekends against

277
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 3: a couple quality teams there in UCLA and Indiana, but

278
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 3: they did. They did manage to score twenty seven against Nebraska.

279
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 3: So again, I've got thirty five twenty four. Michigan State

280
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 3: keeps it close, Michigan pulls away late and gets a

281
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 3: very needed conference win for the Michigan Wolverines.

282
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: He is on Twitter at John Morosi, that is at

283
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: John Morosi, who has figured out the secret of life.

284
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: If half your family hates you, just make sure half

285
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: your family loves you. That's all you need.

286
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 3: Now, that's all that's all you need. As they say,

287
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 3: I'm paraphrasing Earl Weaver. Here with your with your family.

288
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 3: Just like your baseball team, keep the half that hates

289
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 3: you away from the half that's still undecided. All right, yeah,

290
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 3: but you get the idea.

291
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I love that. That was a great one.

292
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: I love that one. Yeah, keep the half away with

293
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: the people at are sure he's on Twitter at John Morosi,

294
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: that is at John Morosi. Pope has always appreciated we'll

295
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: talk to you next week.

296
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 3: I fuck you guys, love this time here. My friends

297

Speaker 1: You next week. See you, John Paul there go. Yeah. No,

299
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: that was the earl weaver. When he was asked about

300
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: what's your secret to being able to manage all these players,

301
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: he says the secret is to keep the half of

302
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: the team that hates you away from the half of

303
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: the team that's not sure about you, Like that's the

304
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: big Sure. Make sure they don't talk, and then you

305
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: can be a good manager.

306
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 4: And now I'm sitting here, I got a ledger because

307
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,280

Speaker 1: I am from the future. I told you going into

357
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: the World Series. My biggest concern for the Dodgers they're

358
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: starting pitching, they're pitching in general, was gonna get a

359
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: bounce off of the NLCS. Make it five two, Toronto

360
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: leading the Dodgers right now, Emmett she And has come

361
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: in and not gotten an out andres him and az

362
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: Metsio with a single to right field bring in the

363
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: fifth run of the game. It is still bases loaded

364
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: and nobody out for the Blue Jays as they continue

365
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 1: to bat in the bottom of the sixth inning. So

366

Speaker 6: I'm the straightest you all fields here. I can't be

377
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 6: I do more than just football here. I can watch

00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 6: a baseball game once than a while.

379
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:51,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, no, this is the Blue Jay saying, hey,

380
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 1: don't screw it up. We don't have anybody out. Don't

381
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 1: get thrown out of the bases like Freddie Freeman did.

382
00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 1: Don't screw it up. Okay, Okay, we're fine, exactly.

383
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 6: You know what's really sad? I didn't know this game

384
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 6: was happening until like an hour ago. But okay, you know,

385
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 6: not exactly the best. Yeah, look in my world, did

386
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 6: you guys? I'm gonna say a name that you've never

387
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 6: heard of, and you're it's about to be a part

388
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 6: of your life. For it's a Drew mess to Maker.

389
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 6: He's the North Texas quarterback who just threw for six

390
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 6: hundred and eight yards while all this was happening, lighting

391
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 6: up poor old Charlotte tonight.

392
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: Because oh yeah, you have to say future future Jet

393
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,199
Speaker 1: franchise player drew me estimates.

394
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 4: Hey, six four to eleven. He's got the prototypical build.

395
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 6: Exactly. No, it's and he's one of those guys who

396
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 6: didn't play in high school and he's got this weird story.

397
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 1: But uh yeah, he's he's Chad Powers. He's a TV

398
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: show chat. He didn't play in high school. Nobod knew

399
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: anything about him. All of a sudden he showed up. He'sai. Yeah,

400
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: he's like Chad Powers.

401
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly, that's exactly who this is. Well, well, well,

402
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 6: this little you know world series is going on. Yes,

403
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 6: there are games being played in Charlotte, which, by the way,

404
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 6: went blue pass the over. So that's what really matters

405
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 6: in the sports fold right now, all right.

406
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: Now, as we get to this slate tomorrow, I wanted

407
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: to be honest with me, Am I a good college

408
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: football fan or a bad college football fan, that my

409
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: favorite game of the day is UCLA Indiana.

410
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're not crazy in terms of one, you're in

411
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 6: a stute college football fan because tomorrow's play the game sucks.

412
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 6: But for the most part, I mean, how about just

413
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 6: from a curiosity standpoint, because what if it's not gonna happen?

414
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 6: But I wrote a column this week kind of saying,

415
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 6: you know, look, it's not gonna happen, but what if?

416
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 6: What if UCLA wins this? Because there's a whole bunch

417
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 6: of factors that play here that kind of overshape the season,

418
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 6: because one that means UCLA is actually really good. They

419
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 6: just beat the number two team in the country. They

420
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,719
Speaker 6: still have a game at Ohio State and at USC

421
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,199
Speaker 6: They're not going to win any of them, don't But

422
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 6: what if they did. You know, first of all, they'd

423
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 6: go to the Big Ten Championship, which would be insane.

424
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 6: And then even if they lost like close, wouldn't you

425
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 6: have to put an eight and five UCLA team in

426
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 6: just because it beats the one, two and three. But

427
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 6: like on the more realistic aspects, the fact that if

428
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 6: UCLA just plays Indiana tough. It kind of got lost

429
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 6: in the phrase that after Deshaun Foster got whacked, the

430
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 6: first game under the Skipper regime was against Northwestern and

431
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 6: no one thought anything of it because, oh, well's UCLA,

432
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 6: they're awful or whatever. Meanwhile, Northwestern has played really, really

433
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 6: well over the last several weeks or so, and it's

434
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 6: got a funky game tomorrow, and if it somehow beats them,

435
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 6: then Nebraska team. This is going to get a lot

436
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 6: weirder in the Big Ten before it gets settled.

437
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:55,959
Speaker 4: I do like the fact that you did bring up

438
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 4: that it is the Skipper era. It is not New

439
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 4: Highsley is not the head goas.

440
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter, nobody cares about that doesn't matter.

441
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 6: But you know what, if you got here like Jerry Newheizel,

442
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 6: you know, no.

443
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: It's I'm jealous of it as well.

444
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 2: So I mean we got that going on.

445
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 4: Plus twenty six for those keeping tracking home, all right,

446
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 4: is Brian Kelly getting fired at the end of tomorrow's

447
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 4: game if he loses.

448
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 6: Gosh, you know what, it's so funny that it's not

449
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 6: a crazy thought, but it's someone has to lose in

450
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 6: the sec It kind of gets forgotten by here, like

451
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 6: Billy Napier. Okay, fine, it didn't work at Florida, and like,

452
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 6: you can't lose nine games in a year and a half.

453
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,199
Speaker 6: But every single one of those losses by Florida was

454
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 6: either to a team that was in the College Football

455
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 6: Playoffs is going to be in the College Football Playoffs,

456
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 6: and the other two is like Texas A and M

457
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 6: when it was seven and one last year and starting

458
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 6: off and the other one was at LSU. So it's like,

459
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 6: not everyone can go twelve to zero in the SEC,

460
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 6: and SEC fans aren't really you know, cognitive of that.

461
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 6: So uh, it's hard sometimes to win these games. Again,

462
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 6: going back to you know, Northwestern and all this in Franklin,

463
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 6: you know, gets whacked because, oh my gosh, you know,

464
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 6: you know, how dare you lose to UCLA and it

465
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 6: turns out Ucla is not bad now, and oh my

466
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 6: gosh that you have the indignity of losing at home

467
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 6: to Northwestern. Well again, if Northwestern is good tomorrow, if

468
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 6: you're Penn State, you just clump the guy who was

469
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 6: a fourth down stop in any of those three games

470
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 6: away from still having his job and then you you know, say, oh,

471
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 6: you're bad, you lost the Northwestern Ucla. Well, turns out

472
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 6: there pretty good.

473
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: Pt Tech College Football News dot Com inside where there's

474
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 1: Jason Smith Mike Carmon live from the Fox Sports Radio studios.

475
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: All right, game of the day, Pete. Look, it's it's

476
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: on opposite usualy in Indiana where I'm watching UCLA for

477
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 1: new Heiseel's hair and Fernando Mendoza thinking he's going to

478
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: be a jet ole Miss and Oklahoma huge game. Look,

479
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 1: biggest game of the day, obviously a couple of teams

480
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: at six and one. Oklahoma, I feel like they were

481
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: one of those teams, Like like every week I change

482
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: how I feel about them, Like I said, Wow, Oklahoma,

483
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: then I'm like, ah, but Oklahoma. No but Oklahoma. Nah

484
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: but Oklama, where are you on this? All right?

485
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 6: Well here, let me let me do this for you

486
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 6: real quick. However you feel about Oklahoma doesn't matter because

487
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 6: it's going to be settled in fast. Take a look

488
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 6: at their last five games. That is the hardest stretch

489
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,199
Speaker 6: of games I have ever seen a team have to

490
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 6: close with I don't have it off the top of

491
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 6: my head. I do know they close against Texas A

492
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 6: and M. But you name anyone who's ever good at football,

493
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 6: and that's who they play over. They're going to lose

494
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 6: at least two of these next five, So they cannot

495
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 6: lose to ole Miss tomorrow. Now, on the flip side,

496
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 6: ole Miss, if it wins this thing, it might on

497
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 6: the weird wrong Thanksgiving type of day lose the Egg Bowl,

498
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 6: but they're not losing twice. So if they win tomorrow.

499
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 6: You look at the rest of the old miss schedule.

500
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 6: They're in the College Football Playoffs because they are not

501
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 6: going to drop two more games after this one, because

502
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 6: this bot is breeze as it gets. Meanwhile, Oklahoma I

503
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 6: Fit loses this, it's not insane to say that they're

504
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 6: going to have a hard time winning another game the

505
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 6: rest of the year.

506
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: It's Tennessee at Tennessee, it's at Alabama, it's home for

507
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: Missouri and then home for LSU. Though that could be

508
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 1: a non Brian Kelly LSU right, like, that could be

509
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: you know, hey, we're we're playing out the string right now,

510
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:23,959
Speaker 1: that that might be the easier one.

511
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 6: Yes, but if we've learned this year though, as soon

512
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 6: as you whack the head coach, the team is awesome. Yeah,

513
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 6: all of a sudden, Arkansas can't be stopped. I mean

514
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 6: they're Bobby Petrino, Trent Dilfer gets you know, sacked by

515
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 6: ua B and all of a sudden it turns into

516
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 6: you know, the Kansas City Chiefs against Memphis, and then

517
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 6: you know, Deshaun Foster and Tim Skipper that sort of worked,

518
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 6: you know, So it's been pretty it's kind of actually

519
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 6: not been the worst thing in the world to get

520
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 6: rid of your coach in the middle of the season.

521
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 6: But it's it's the vote thing to do. But I

522
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 6: don't know if it's actually the smartest thing to do

523
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 6: with these financializes, unless you think you have a coach

524
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 6: in place already because or else you want to try

525
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 6: to make your your fan base happy and keep them

526
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 6: from screaming at you.

527
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 4: Pete, I'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention

528
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 4: this matchup one of the other ranked on rank matchups

529
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 4: that we've got. Because you talked a lot about Northwestern,

530
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 4: how about Vanderbilt as a top ten team against Missouri

531
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 4: chaos in college football this year, but one that has

532
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 4: great ramifications in the conference it does.

533
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 6: You know, this actually might be the most really the

534
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 6: most important game to day. Like I said, like, let's

535
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 6: say Oklahoma beats Ole Miss. Well, kind does a matter

536
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 6: for Ole Miss because they still might be in the

537
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 6: College Fotball playoffs and Oklahoma still might lose two more games.

538
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 6: But this one, you know that the winner of this

539
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 6: stays alive for everything, and almost that we're talking about

540
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 6: top ten Vanderbilt. Okay, Still, I've seen this team a

541
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 6: bunch of times I've looked at him, I'm still not

542
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 6: quite buying it. But it's very they make it's so simple.

543
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 6: I know, it's you know, it's so easy. He wasn't

544
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 6: everyone do it? Well, Why don't you just block and

545
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 6: tackle and not make a ton of mistakes and just

546
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 6: keep the chains moving on third downs? Like it doesn't

547
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 6: seem like it should be that they don't go for

548
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 6: anything crazy. They just set up nights and easy third

549
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 6: down chances and then diego. Manzell takes off with his

550
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 6: legs and just goes and makes big things happen. And

551
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,719
Speaker 6: then you repeat over and over and over again. And

552
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 6: that was the real thing. I mean, because LSU we

553
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 6: talk about Brant you talk about Bran Kelly before. Usually

554
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 6: his offenses are great. This one isn't. This defense is

555
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 6: by far the best he's had at LSU and PAVIA,

556
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 6: and that Vanderville offense just carved it up. So yeah,

557
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 6: this will be an interesting one because the winner of

558
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 6: this really is still on the thickest things for everything.

559
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: He's on Twitter at Pete fu Tech. That is at

Speaker 1: we just got to see. The Knicks beating the Celtics

570

Speaker 7: Game one of the World Series in Toronto, and the

Speaker 7: Blue Jays are still batting in the bottom of the

Speaker 7: six oh Mercifully there's the third out of the inning,

Speaker 7: starter five, five runs eight it's allowed in his one

583
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 7: hundred pitches thrown as soon as the league get up

584
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 7: to four to two this inning, I did peruse by

585
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 7: stats that fourteen straight home games for Toronto when they

586
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 7: score four or more, Yeah, they've won every one. Fourteenth,

587
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 7: You're gonna make it fifteen. After tonight Dodgers were up

588
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 7: two to nothing in the third, Bobashak grounded him too

589
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 7: a double play to end the bottom of the third

590
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 7: for Toronto. He did wind up starting tonight a single

591
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 7: and a walk and playing second base. Had a nice

592
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 7: backhand play, not playing short stuff for the first time

593
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 7: since the minor leagues. But this is a guy that's

594
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 7: back that had been out with a spring knee since

595
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 7: early September. One of the rare three hundred hitters in

596
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 7: baseball this year, he batted three eleven ninety four RBIs.

597
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 7: He contributed bottom of the fourth, two run homer for

598
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 7: Dalton Varshow to tie the game, first home run that

599
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 7: Blake Snell has allowed to a left handed hitter this year.

600
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 7: And then the floodgates bottom of the sixth, and now

601
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 7: it's eleven to two for the home team, LA starter

602
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 7: Snell left with bases loaded, no outs. Emmett Sheehan came

603
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 7: in poured gas on the fire. All three scored two

604
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 7: singles and a walk. Anthony Bonda than Atlanta Grand Slam

605
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 7: to pinch hitter Addison Barger, the first pinch Grand Slam

606
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 7: in the history of the World Series. Alejandro Kirk with

607
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 7: a two run homer as well off the.

608
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 1: Mindo Coofax came in to finish the inning and got

609
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: the Dodgers out of it.

610
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 7: Kofax with half an arm would be better than this bullpen.

611
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 7: At this point to the seventh Toronto is leading eleven

612
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 7: to two. Tomorrow night, it'll be Yoshinoba Yamamoto starting for

614
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 7: this postseason, we can update the stat now teams that

615
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,720

00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 7: four to thirty Minnesota in the league. Late in the

628
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,880

634
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: Back to you, thank you, Steve. Oh. Now, that's Spurs

635
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: Pelicans game. Just for a second on this. You know,

636
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: we talked about this before Opening night and I said,

637
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 1: you know, the Spurs are my dark horse NBA Finals team.

638
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: They put it all together. This is going to be

639
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 1: the year where Wemby becomes the best player in the NBA.

640
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 1: And then you watch him opening night that you know

641
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: he's he's six inches taller than he he was last year,

642
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: and I think he's his reaches now three feet longer

643
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: than it was. And you think, Okay, by the end

644
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: of October, we're gonna say that Wemby's the best player

645
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: in the NBA. He's fouled out of this game, okay,

646
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 1: for the Spurs. And that's why this is a shame,

647
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 1: because here's Wemby's final stat on the night, twenty nine points,

648
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 1: eleven rebounds, nine blocks, and two assists. He almost had

649
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,800
Speaker 1: a triple double with blocks, and if he obviously hadn't

650
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 1: fouled out, he would have likely had that. He was

651
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:37,280
Speaker 1: twenty nine to eleven and nine blocks for the Spurs,

652
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: who continue to lead the Pelicans in overtime. Despite all

653
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,800
Speaker 1: the highlights we're getting from Zion in this game. I mean, really,

654
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: every time I see Zion make a play like yes tonight,

655
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: I go, man, dude, just stay healthy, Just stay healthy

656
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 1: for five minutes so we can all enjoy this. And

657
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: I mean, really, some of the stuff he's doing tonight

658
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 1: as athletic as we thought he was gonna be when

659
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 1: he came into the league. And I'm just like, just

660
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: stay healthy for a little bit man, just please do.

661
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 4: That seems to be inspired when he looks acros us

662
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 4: the court and season guys like a guy like wem

663
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 4: Minyama who's getting all the headlines that he used to.

664
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 4: So I'm like, hey, watch me be a pogo pogo

665
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 4: stick here and for wehm Minyama, this shows you that

666
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 4: in the eyes of the leagues, he's not yet a superstar.

667
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:16,800
Speaker 1: He doesn't get that six fouls.

668
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 4: Normally you have to bloody someone to get the sixth

669
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 4: file as the super.

670
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,120

688
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: What is happening right now in the Los Angeles? No,

689
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:31,399
Speaker 1: not Dodger fans getting really nervous. Luka Dantic midway through

690
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 1: the third quarter has thirty six points for the Lakers

691
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: there on top of the tea Wolves eighty seven, eighty two.

692
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: This was the kind of night I had in mind,

693
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: Mike Card Oh, by the way, if you don't have streaming, yeah,

694
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 1: good luck then Friday night. Baby. We told you this

695
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: is NBA, right This this is the new World. This

696
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: is the kind of game I envisioned when I said, Hey,

697
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:58,720
Speaker 1: without Lebron, Luca is going to just carry and pull

698
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 1: and drag and yank the Lakers to victories all by himself,

699
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 1: just like he did with the Mavericks. That's what this

700
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: game looks like, where Luca and and a Lakers lineup

701
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: that just looks like a bunch of guys, right like

702
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:15,839
Speaker 1: you know, eight and has been just okay so far,

703
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 1: you know, but Hacha Morris somehow has found a way

704
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 1: to make some shots, and Austin Reeves has made a

705
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 1: couple of shots. But this is it looks like Luca

706
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: when he was with a bunch of guys in Dallas.

707
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 1: That's kind of what this game looks like. But again

708
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 1: what I expected to see. Okay, this is Luca, new deal,

709
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 1: new situation here he is now skinny Luca. This is

710
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 1: what I expected. This is what we're getting from Luka Donca.

711
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:36,919
Speaker 2: Yeah.

712
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,879
Speaker 4: I mean we've always talked about DeAndre Ayton going back

713
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 4: many years of killer instinct, big size, but big moments

714
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 4: not there for you. Injury history certainly part of it.

715
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 4: Hachimura looks to be that number two right now in

716
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 4: terms of the packing orders you alluded to seven to

717
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 4: ten Tonight hit a couple of shots in game one,

718
00:37:57,920 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 4: but it's the same thing he comes on to. This

719
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 4: has some big minutes, and just as quickly as he

720
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 4: explodes offensively, he'll disappear for a bit. You get a

721
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 4: bit from Austin Reagis. I just fear this isn't sustainable.

722
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 4: Right if we start talking about, you know, Lebron missing

723
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 4: extended time and we're talking into November towards the holiday

724
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,280
Speaker 4: holiday holiday, maybe unwrap him as a Christmas gift.

725
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 1: I don't know.

726
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 4: But all of that to say, what's Luca going to

727
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 4: have left if he's got to carry this kind of

728
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 4: load all the way through? So, I mean that's a

729
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 4: bit of a concern. So marveling at it watching it

730
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 4: really missed opportunity though. If you're on Prime and you're

731
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 4: watching this game, Yeah, you got the logo in the

732
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 4: upper right, Where the hell are my deals that you

733
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 4: should be sending me to right now?

734
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 1: You can get.

735
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 4: Ten dollars off this extra large thing of detergent. I mean,

736
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 4: come on, missed opportunities man, Sell, Sell sell, I'm a

737
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:54,240
Speaker 4: captive audience.

738
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: We'll keep you updated on this story as it evolves. Again,

739
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 1: still a long way to go here. Midway through the

740
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:00,840
Speaker 1: third quarter, Luca on pace for what could be and

741
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 1: should be a fifty point night. Meanwhile, Game one of

742
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: the World Series goes to the Blue Jays eleven to four.

743
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: They erupt, knocking Blake Snell out of the game after

744
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 1: he loads the base in the six doesn't matter. Addison

745
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 1: Barger comes off the bench, pinch hits a Grand Slam

746
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: home run. You got another home run from Alejandro Kirk

747
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 1: and suddenly the Blue Jays have hammered their way to

748
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,760
Speaker 1: a one game to non lead in the World Series.

749
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 1: And I am from the future. I am from I

750
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: don't know winning lottery numbers. I am from the future

751
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 1: where I can tell you about sports. What did I

752
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 1: tell you last week? My big concern for the Dodgers

753
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: was they're going to get a bounce in the pitching department.

754
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 1: They're not going to pitch like they did in the

755
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 1: NLCS against the Brewers. It's just knock gonna happen. They

756
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 1: remind me of the Mets in twenty fifteen, where the

757
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: Mets went hot knife through butter through the Cubs in

758
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 1: the NLCS. They didn't quite get that pitching performance in

759
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: the World Series and the Royals won, right, And what

760
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 1: did we get tonight? Blake Snell right away has a

761
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 1: rough first but escapes without giving up runs, but still

762
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: a twenty nine pitch first inning. He doesn't get out

763
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 1: of six, He loads the base with nobody out. The Dodgers'

764
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: bullpen can't get it done. And here's that. I So,

765
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 1: what do I say that We're not gonna see the

766
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: end of the playoffs? Without the Dodger bullpen and saying

767
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a say in this. We're gonna have

768
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: a say in what happens. And I don't mean from

769
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 1: a positive perspective for the Dodgers, like we're gonna have

770
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,800
Speaker 1: a say in this and eleven four is your final.

771
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 1: That's the thing. Dodgers got to mash their way if

772
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna if they're gonna win this series, the pitching

773
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 1: is gonna get I mean, maybe not like this every

774
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 1: night obviously, but they're gonna get a pitching bounce. You

775
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 1: saw Snell got the bounce tonight. They had to go

776
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: to the bullpen. The bullpen was terrible, and here you

777
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 1: have it. I am from the future.

778
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean the stats said Steve Brodis, you know

779
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 4: you out slug your opponent, what is it, twenty twenty

780
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 4: six to five or whatever is the record if you

781
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 4: out home or your opponent playing station to stage is

782
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:53,879
Speaker 4: a bad base running and they had the opportunity. Look,

783
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 4: you sevens only went four, but they let them off

784
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 4: the hook in two of those innings, so you're looking

785
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 4: at the opportunities were there. We talked a little bit

786
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 4: about the absence of Vessia, a guy that you relied

787
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 4: on for sixty seven sixty eight appearances this year in

788
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 4: the regular season. That's an absence that when you get

789
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 4: into those middle innings, they're gonna have to figure out

790
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:19,400
Speaker 4: how to navigate that. But certainly here a lot of

791
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 4: clenching in Dodgerville.

792
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is all of a sudden Game two becomes

793
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 1: a must win for the Dodgers to try to get

794
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 1: back in the series. Control it coming back to La

795
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 1: but again, gonna have to Mash. Can't count on the

796
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: starting pitching to carry in. We got more on Game

797
