WEBVTT - These MLB Playoffs Have Been INCREDIBLE 0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:02.520 Hello, and welcome to Awake and Jake myself, Jake's story 0:00:02.560 --> 0:00:08.800 Ellie producer BBD going through the world of Deporte's baseball 0:00:08.880 --> 0:00:11.520 is obviously killing it those on the YouTube. I am 0:00:11.600 --> 0:00:13.760 flexing my left bicep right now. We got a little 0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:18.959 vain action. Okay, playoffs have been awesome. It's funny going 0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:21.120 back in hindsight, and I think it'd probably be funny 0:00:21.160 --> 0:00:24.599 going back to last year's Waking Jake's are talking baseballs 0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:27.840 or whatever and being like, you know, I'm sure we 0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:30.400 were locked in to the playoffs. In fact, I know 0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:33.639 we were locked into the playoffs. But the Texas Rangers 0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:36.760 were blowing teams out. The Snakes were running it up. 0:00:37.720 --> 0:00:40.760 I mean, their comeback series against Philly was pretty cool, 0:00:40.840 --> 0:00:44.360 but it was also a lot of big leads early 0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:50.360 and stuff like that. These postseason, these postseasons, this postseason 0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:55.360 has been incredibly dramatic. Even Yankees Royals Game one, which 0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:57.440 we'll get Game two tonight, but that was back and 0:00:57.480 --> 0:00:59.600 forth every inning for a while. It was literally the 0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:03.120 most lead flips in a playoff game or some ish 0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:09.440 like that. The Mets are doing actual voodoo or something 0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:11.440 at this point, but they got out Voodoo at the 0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:16.960 end by the fight in Phillies. The Dodgers Padre series 0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:19.639 is living up to every part of that billing, although 0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:22.320 I do think have some hotter takes on that end 0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:24.800 of the spectrum and the rude way to end at 0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:28.160 Cleveland and Detroit are playing. Although I still have hope 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:31.360 for my Tigers, everyone else's kind of run away and 0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:34.520 we did run into the creepy neighbor comparison for the 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:37.400 Cleveland Guardians that we can explain that further in a 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:41.720 little bit. Also at the end of the show, highlight 0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:45.120 what was a pretty sick college football weekend, go doors, 0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:49.040 Historic went over Alabama, and then we'll go through the 0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:55.160 football weekend that finishes tonight with some Saints at the chefs. 0:01:56.600 --> 0:02:01.840 We will start with the baseball and you know, I 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:03.600 think I tend to lean when the Yankees are an 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:07.000 option starting there. But let's land there. How about that? 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:09.880 Because we got more action last night from the National 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:18.280 League Padres. Dodgers Padres answer back after Game one, which 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:23.800 I think everyone did a head tilt of, like the 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:27.280 Padres were sneaky. The favorites in this series, like I 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:29.720 don't know what Vegas actually had the money at but 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:33.840 everyone fell in love with the Padres. Their lineup is 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:37.160 sick and has stars. They're starting pitchers, which we still 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:40.520 get sucked into the postseason, and then a wipe and bullpen. 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:44.040 I do think they were generally the favorite around baseball 0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:47.639 against the Dodgers, and whether Vegas agreed with that or 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:51.839 if it was just commentator, when you laid it all 0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:54.160 out there and what you really think is important come 0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:57.600 playoff time, it felt like the Padres had the whole recipe, 0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:00.200 or maybe the Dodgers were missing a little bit that 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:02.760 in with wild card teams having a little bit more 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:06.600 success under this new format, I think if not a 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:11.200 coin flip Padres, maybe a slight lean from the baseball community. 0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:16.440 And what happens Dodgers starter gets knocked around Yamamoto three innings, 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:19.960 five earn runs. Okay, here we go. This is what 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:22.880 we're talking about. The thing is the Dodgers can do that, 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:25.320 and they could do more, and they showed it, and 0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:28.280 they have some very good guys in their bullpen. Blake 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:34.280 Trinan almost made our resident Padres fan Ryan Cohen, angrier 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:37.680 than I thought I could see that human. He's seen 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:40.120 a lot of sweepers over the last five years. It 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:43.720 seemed like that have hurt his soul. Now it did 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:45.680 take kind of a heroic effort out of trying, and 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:48.120 he throws thirty nine pitches that probably had him out 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:50.400 of last night's game, not that it became a factor. 0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:54.160 Maybe he could have come in, who knows, but it 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:59.200 ended up not becoming a problem because the Padres gave 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:03.040 it to him. So closing out that game one, Dodgers 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:06.200 looked like the Dodgers. Otani hits a not an all 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:09.680 time homer, but down three, tied at three, game one 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:14.480 against your division rivals, you're that guy, and then they 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:17.440 continue to go. They outscore him seven to five, and 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:20.640 you're like, that's right. Maybe the Padres shouldn't have kind 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:24.279 of been the favorite or even a coin flip, because 0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:26.440 the Dodgers won more game and they have stars and 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:28.320 they're gonna find a way to pitch and people are 0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:33.480 overlooking that bullpen Imo. The Padres come back and answer, 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:36.720 and it's led by Fernando Tatis, who his playoff numbers, 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:41.240 he's okay, shots fired to Dodgers fans, he's reverse kershawing, 0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:46.400 he is he's one dot fiving in his postseason career, 0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:48.359 which is now is like forty five at bats like 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:52.200 it's not like it's not like a five game weekend 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:56.400 like it's he's been playing, uh, and he's been raking. 0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:58.520 So he goes yard in the first to set the 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:00.960 tone after they lose, because if you go down two 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:05.560 to oh, it doesn't make it impossible, but it makes 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:10.320 it just really hard. Even though in this series I 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:12.440 said this on Talking Baseball, I don't think it would 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:16.040 have been over. He sets the tone with that one. 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:19.160 David Peralta the freight train. Let me find the splits 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:21.800 because I haven't actually done them, but I know he 0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:25.960 got a start off. Oh, Freddy Peralta's page comes up. Sorry, sorry, 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:30.279 Brewers fans still kind of fresh, huh. And my guy 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:33.400 Ryan Rosillo always shout him out. He has baseball in 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:34.960 his soul, but he kind of has to hide it 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:38.000 because there's so much basketball in football. He does. He 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:40.960 did a very passionate speech on how brutal that is 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:43.599 for Brewers fans to watch one hundred and sixty two 0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:47.720 games in a full season. Be front runners and kind 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:51.000 of have it in the ninth inning with your guy 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:53.200 on the mountain, like I know we did this, but god, 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:57.359 it's part of what makes beautiful baseball beautiful and so 0:05:57.560 --> 0:06:02.800 sucky at the same time. So sucky, David Peralta, let 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:09.360 me do my best splitty split since July third, So July, August, September, 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:12.000 three months of the baseball season. This guy was two 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:14.920 eighty seven to three forty five and eight seventeen ops 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:20.120 like that's that's a middle of the lineup guy who 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:22.679 was another part of the reason the Padres had a 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:25.560 really strong rail season. He hits the two run homer 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:29.880 to go up three to nothing. That's important because the 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:32.080 Padres were up three nothing in that first game, so 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:35.719 if you blow that. Muki hits one out of the 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:38.320 park in the first, but it's robbed by Profar who 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:42.000 kind of pimps it. And then we've got people being 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:45.360 emotional in the stands. Dodgers had a couple rallies. Merrill 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:48.120 makes a great catch, Tatis makes a great catch line 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:53.479 out to first with the bass juicy, and then we 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:55.600 saw this rivalry kicking in the bad way. He can't 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:57.520 throw stuff on the field. It's just a no go. 0:06:58.279 --> 0:06:59.719 It's just a no go. I know. It's a few 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:01.839 bad and there's a lot of Dodger fans out there 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:03.760 today like those are just illo. It's like, I know 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:07.479 some Yankees bleacher people have done stuff and we're like, dude, 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:10.320 they're just some college kids. But it's where it's the 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:12.680 whole fan base. You gotta wear that and you can't 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:17.880 do that. But man, this got heated. Flaherty and Machado 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:20.320 yelling at each other. It's everything you want in a 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:26.280 playoff series. H My hot take, I think it's San 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:29.800 Diego's I picked them coming into this. I think they 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:33.920 have the leg up in Game three. Buehler has been 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:36.520 he hasn't been Walker Buehler this year. He's shown a 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:40.160 couple signs recently, not even that Walker Buehler. But could 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:43.040 he grind through five playoff innings? Absolutely a s it. 0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:46.440 Michael King is coming off the most dominant start of 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:49.440 the postseason. The Padres have the momentum. They're gonna be 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:51.920 going back home, and the thing for me that I 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:54.760 can't shake that is probably bad logic, but I think 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:57.600 if the Padres win three, they're gonna win four. I 0:07:57.640 --> 0:07:59.560 don't think they're gonna allow them to go back to 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:02.240 La We saw the Phillies do this to the Braves 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:05.160 a couple of times. It's eerily similar. And the currently 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:07.800 Land and Knack is lined up for Game four. That 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:10.520 with that San Diego crowd and the dudes in that lineup, 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:16.800 that's baseball is not a prediction sport. It's near impossible. 0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:19.960 But that's kind of where I'm at with that. And 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:23.840 watch as Otani, Mookie and Freddy hit back to back 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:25.760 to back off King are in the first No, I 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:28.480 would never wish that on Mike King. We love Mike King. 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:33.520 That series is electric, must watch whenever you can. The 0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:37.640 rest of the way For the other National League series, 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:41.960 Mets Phil's copy and paste without too much of the 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:44.320 heated stuff. Although did we ever get anything about the 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:48.800 Brandon Nemo talking to JT real Mudo that on Jim's radar? 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:49.680 Does anyone care? 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:53.440 I saw one guy that isn't Jimmy douolip reed saying 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:57.880 like trying to say like it was when Sanchez getting out. 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:00.199 Nimo's not a shit talker anyway. 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:02.160 Yeah, so there's. 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:02.880 A lot of factors. 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:05.720 Nimo's mouth kind of weird. Somebody put the video in front. 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:11.320 Everyone agreed that it'll happen at some point, But man, 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:16.080 these the miracle Mets who get shut down by Wheeler, 0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:18.520 and you've seen it in baseball a thousand times, that 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:21.600 shutdown starting pitcher goes and there's nothing you can do 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:24.160 against them. Doesn't matter who's coming out of the bullpen. 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:26.160 It could be Class A this year, it could be 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:29.440 Prime Mo. Just seeing a new face and getting a 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:33.400 new result somehow, some way changes the whole energy. That's 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:35.720 what happens. They put up five runs in that inning, 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:38.880 two to Ozho to five two. They get an insurance run. 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:42.760 The Mets take game one without using dash and it 0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:45.600 just feels like they have their formula, like they're gonna 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:49.360 pitch enough uh and they're never out of the game. 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:52.480 If there's two strikes, two outs, it does not matter. 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:54.840 They'll be involved. So it goes to the next game 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:58.040 and it's Sanchez getting the start, not Nola, which I 0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:00.880 think the Phillies were lining up as know for Sanchez 0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:02.960 getting this playoff start. Let's do it at home. He's 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:07.120 been really good and Nola the experienced veteran at this point, 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:09.320 we can have him on the road and if you 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:12.360 ended up going down oh two, you got Nola Waitton, 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:16.280 which Sanchez for the playoffs start. So the Phillies, they 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:20.600 they have usually a slightly unique, cool formula, and that's 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:23.120 because they have a lot of unique talented baseball players 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:28.840 that in this game, Mark Vientos welcome to the national stage. 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:32.360 Building off an incredible rookie year. He goes to run 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:36.439 down APO in the second or third there, uh and 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:39.640 Louis Severino's holding it. And I'll be honest, I kind 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:44.240 of bet against Sevi. Not a lot, just kind of, 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:49.480 you know, a little parlay Phillies. Sure whatever I thought 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:51.800 Schwarbs would get him, for sure, not to be rude 0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:55.559 to Sev. Seve was amazing, great start for him, and 0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:58.280 good for him. Love Seve really do. Uh. And I 0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:01.480 think he's gonna get himself a nicely contract coming up here. 0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:07.280 And he makes it. He makes it into the six, 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:10.320 but the bad man is waiting. Zero's on the scoreboard. 0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:13.679 Harper gets him with the two run shot ninety nine 0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:17.360 mile pro fastball dead center field. The energy that guy 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:21.520 plays with it makes Yankee fans jealous about twice a year. 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:24.679 Unless we actually do something this year, then we could 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:27.560 put it in our rearview. But the vim and vigor 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:29.640 and energy that guy has while being one of the 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:32.839 stars of the game. It's just tough to match. I 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:39.199 don't there's not much comparable to it. And then Cassianos 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:42.760 three pitches from Sevy, here's your shutout. Here's three runs. 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:48.679 Tied game. The Mets aren't dead, obviously not. Uh. This 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:52.920 game flips back and forth, just like every game this postseason, 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:58.160 just like every Mets game this postseason. As Nimo breaks 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:01.080 up the tie, as we mentioned to J. T roomydo 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:03.760 a little bit, it was a weird exchange. And then 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:08.360 bry Sin Scott rejoins the party two run triple, and again, 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:11.520 like Harper almost enters, you got to pitch around him 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:14.880 if it's not the right at bat that allows him 0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:18.199 and even Cassianos to get the walk off in the 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:22.920 ninth that was used presurped not a word by the 0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:27.240 Mark Vento's other two run homer in the ninth off 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:31.400 of Mattie Strom. Matt Strom just want to check in 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:32.680 on his regular season. 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:33.640 Uh. 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:38.000 In sixty two point two innings he had a one 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:43.880 to eight seventy RA and Viento's and the Mets could 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:46.360 not care less. And when you get to the postseason, 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:51.520 your stats reset, so uh. Like I mentioned, Casianos ends 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:53.959 up getting the walk off off of McGill because they 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:57.160 used Diaz in the middle of the lineup, he doesn't 0:12:57.200 --> 0:13:01.760 look super sharp. He ends up getting the blown save 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:05.000 in this game, while McGill gets the loss. Harper not 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:06.840 being able to pitch to him and mcgil gets him 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:09.120 to a three to two count trying to pitch around him, 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:12.440 which is impressive in its own but then he walks 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:18.360 him in. Castiano's officially hot and we've seen it. It's funny. 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:24.000 Last postseason postseason, he got so hot and so cold 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:25.920 so quick. It was he was like the star of 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:29.760 the postseason for it was like three games, two games, 0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:32.040 and then it was like he was the slump, most 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:35.360 slumping player in the postseason. So weird sport people, and 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:37.679 that's part of the reason we love it. This tea 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:39.760 is up for now a three game set as well. 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:43.520 I don't know. I have the Phillies as the fave 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:45.720 because I don't have them losing two in a row 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:48.959 at City, but people didn't have the Snakes coming back 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:52.520 against them. That's why it's not a prediction sport. But 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:55.079 I have them at least bringing it back to the bank, 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:59.640 and maybe that's maybe that's good for the Mets because 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:03.640 they are sick puppies that as long as they have 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:06.760 a chance in that game. I've seen them shut down 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:09.679 a couple crowds. I've seen them shut down Atlanta. I've 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:13.040 seen them shut down Milwaukee. You can't say they are 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:16.679 out of anything yet, but it felt like Philly rejoined 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:20.200 the party last night. And God, that Mets crowd. I 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:21.920 want to be surprised if we see some of the 0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:26.120 hostility that we saw in La and San Diego come 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:31.040 out in Queens, New York in October with the Phillies. 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:33.360 Oh my god, the Phillies fans in the stands, we're 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:33.720 gonna have. 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:37.080 Mets haven't had a home game during this run yet. 0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:40.400 I don't support these You're gonna see brawl videos like 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:44.480 that's just where we're at, and you're gonna see some 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:49.640 amazing baseball. So that's on the American League side. The series, 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:52.480 everyone's being slightly rude to that kicks off at four 0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:57.760 o'clock today, So even MLB being slightly rude to them, 0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:00.680 the Tigers and the guard Dogs. Tiger Your mania went 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:04.920 away quick, didn't it. The Tigers best record for a 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:08.520 month and a half, they took out the Houston Astros, 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:13.640 and then after one game, one inning, really everyone's out 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:16.920 on the kiddies. The guard Dogs put up a five 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:20.680 in that first inning. Could have went different. McKinstry fields 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:23.440 a ground ball, or that never happens because Ramirez gets 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:28.680 punched out on strike three. Who knows the game script 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:33.280 of baseball can change a lot in a hurry that 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:37.040 everyone's moved on. I think it comes back tonight. I 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:40.440 am not done with these Tigers, and that shouldn't be 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:43.000 such a hot take. With Trek Scoobel on the bump, 0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:49.040 who was six innings scoreless against Houston in his playoff debut. 0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:54.040 There's gonna be shadows in Cleveland. Don't be surprised if 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:56.160 there's a lot of zeros on the scoreboard. The joke 0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:59.160 I made on Talking Baseball, I think I might bet 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:02.360 this game night thing. Either way, that might be how 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:05.280 it goes down baseball. You'd see another five in the 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:09.080 first I'm not done with the Tigers. I just think 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:11.880 Schooble is a cy young winner. They could very easily 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:14.320 win this game and not like a surprise, like oh 0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:19.280 my god, like no, Schooble can shut them down and 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:22.160 they can do enough on offense. We saw it against Framber, 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:24.520 We've seen it for a month and a half now, 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:30.880 coming up on two that, uh, I think I want. 0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:34.640 I believe in sports. I believe in pink. You'll feel 0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:36.720 a little bit more of this when I talk about 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:42.960 the college game. Detroit is such a sports city that 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:46.160 has been thirsty for success for so long. Look how 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:49.840 hot to trot they are about the Lions, who have 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:55.240 been a historically bad franchise. You know those those Tigers 0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:57.400 teams that didn't get it done that ended up like 0:16:57.520 --> 0:17:01.360 resetting the franchise because they put so much money into 0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:03.280 that team, and then they had to rebuild because it 0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:06.920 got old. The Tigers are in the postseason. They've got 0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:10.400 the magic of baseball behind them. If they win with Schooball, 0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:13.760 I think that place is going to be an absolute 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:21.399 looney bit. Like I don't know Oakland athletic proportions, probably 0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:26.440 not Vvezuela's and stuff like that. With all that being said, 0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:29.680 do it tonight. Matthew Boyd's numbers this year were really good. 0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:32.920 He's getting the start for Cleveland. There's going to be 0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:35.760 a lot of zero's on the scoreboard. The over under 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:39.480 is five and a half. That's as low as you've 0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:44.840 seen this season. So I'm not done with the Tigers. 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:48.160 Win today. You got schooball you have will Vest. Maybe 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:50.960 that's their formula, might just be schooble to Vest today. 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:53.639 Get it done, get it to Detroit with a chance 0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:57.399 to let baseball kick in and let a home field 0:17:57.440 --> 0:18:01.560 advantage that Detroit as a bill. Sure, those games later 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:04.280 in the season started to get more packed. In October 0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:10.680 game in Detroit, absolute looney bin, get me there, Cleveland. 0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:13.560 If you hated all that, well, your compliment is the 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:16.600 weird thing we mentioned on Talking Baseball. Trev nailed it. 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:20.800 You guys are the weird neighbor. You know, nothing wrong 0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:24.959 with you. You haven't done anything too offensive. I jumped to, like, 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:27.600 you know, you're kind of a scrawny guy. You're always 0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:31.160 wearing a hoodie and jeans, you know, five nine kind 0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:35.560 of skinny, and you're like, I don't know. Like someone 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:37.439 brings up that guy in a fight and you're like 0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:40.440 that guy, I don't know, and then you're like, dude, 0:18:41.160 --> 0:18:43.800 he trains American ninja Warrior. He put two dudes in 0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:47.879 a headlock at a PTA meeting and you're like, oh, 0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:49.919 it kind of makes sense. Like the one time you 0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:52.159 saw him and like he was in the garage and 0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:54.840 he just was covered in veins and you're like, wow, 0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:57.080 I saw him catch a squirrel with his bare hands. 0:18:57.640 --> 0:19:01.439 Like Cleveland is kind of a SICO team. They have 0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:04.679 very much enough in the lineup. They play great defense. 0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:08.280 My god, I if Cleveland does go on a run, 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:11.000 I hope the highlight is their defense up the middle. 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:15.719 Bring that back to the sport. Rokio and Jimenez up 0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:19.480 the middle, Kwan in the outfield. Basically, whoever they put 0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:23.480 out there is gonna play some form of defense that 0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:25.919 I hope more of that comes back to baseball. I 0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:28.080 still want a band shifting the outfield so we get 0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:31.680 more doubles and more athletic defenders. That's for another time. 0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:37.520 We'll wrap up the baseball with the New York Yankees, Babe. 0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:42.360 They play Game two tonight after surviving a Game one 0:19:42.400 --> 0:19:45.679 against the Royals that all of their bugaboos showed up 0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:49.119 at one point in time, Stanton not being able to run, 0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:58.000 Labor being bad at running the defense, bullpen usage. They 0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:00.280 end up getting through it. Luke Weaver looks right on 0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:03.560 the back end. The Yankees win Game one at home, 0:20:03.840 --> 0:20:06.640 thank god with the layoff the next day. If they 0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:13.960 didn't just ruins like two days. 0:20:11.400 --> 0:20:15.399 Conversation one with up to two Reagan's games still left. 0:20:15.440 --> 0:20:19.240 Like he specifically right, and I think. 0:20:19.119 --> 0:20:20.199 Casey's saying similar things. 0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:21.600 They're bad verse lefties too. 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:28.000 Sure, uh so it's Rodan versus Reagan's tonight a couple 0:20:28.280 --> 0:20:32.480 rs who throw l It's gonna be a fun one. 0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:35.760 Rodan coming off of his tough season where he got 0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:38.320 his body in shape. He had a really solid year 0:20:38.359 --> 0:20:41.439 for the Yankees this year, and is you know it 0:20:41.520 --> 0:20:43.600 all built up for this start. He was the guy 0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:46.040 they brought in to be the two with Cole. He 0:20:46.160 --> 0:20:48.920 was the guy when they resigned Judge that it was like, hey, 0:20:48.920 --> 0:20:51.680 this team needs more, Okay, let's get this guy. He's 0:20:51.760 --> 0:20:54.960 really good. Huge start for Rodin while the Yanks tea gone. 0:20:54.960 --> 0:20:59.280 Reagan's who he is great? You know behind maybe scooball 0:20:59.320 --> 0:21:03.560 one of the best young lefties in baseball. Let's see 0:21:03.560 --> 0:21:05.760 what he has for them. The Yanks struggled against lefties 0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:08.400 early on in the air Jazz Chisholm, who is lefties 0:21:08.560 --> 0:21:12.119 a little better versu lefties the Stanton stuff was weird 0:21:12.320 --> 0:21:14.560 all year. Glabor Torrez who picked it up in the 0:21:14.560 --> 0:21:17.560 second half. He's good against lefties this year, so they 0:21:17.560 --> 0:21:19.159 have more of a chance than they did early on 0:21:19.200 --> 0:21:23.239 in the air. But Cole Reagan's is a guy, and 0:21:23.320 --> 0:21:26.080 I think this is this is the one for Kansas City. 0:21:26.880 --> 0:21:29.280 I think this is the one. You know when you 0:21:29.320 --> 0:21:33.080 come in you're facing the Yankees, Garrett Cole fresh bullpen. 0:21:33.119 --> 0:21:35.000 I'm not saying the Royals chocked it up as a loss. 0:21:35.040 --> 0:21:37.760 It's a game they almost won a couple times. But 0:21:37.840 --> 0:21:41.080 this is the one, Like, hey, we got some statistics 0:21:41.119 --> 0:21:45.000 on our side. You know, we're a game deeper into 0:21:45.000 --> 0:21:48.439 the postseason. We saw the Bronx Bobby Witt doesn't do 0:21:48.520 --> 0:21:52.000 anything that first game. Wouldn't be surprised if he bounces back. 0:21:53.440 --> 0:21:55.119 They had a couple of balls go to the wall, 0:21:55.280 --> 0:21:57.320 a couple balls hit hard in the first thing, like 0:21:59.200 --> 0:22:01.600 they had a few, you know, the Jazz chishom. The 0:22:01.600 --> 0:22:05.720 game scoring run probably was out at second base, but 0:22:05.760 --> 0:22:12.720 they couldn't overview, overview, review it and overturn it. Thank you. Yeah. 0:22:12.880 --> 0:22:15.520 If I'm a if I'm a KC fan, I'm I 0:22:15.640 --> 0:22:18.040 wasn't stoked with how Game one went down, but it's 0:22:18.040 --> 0:22:22.840 also like, well, we can win Game two kind of easily. 0:22:23.760 --> 0:22:26.960 Reagan's one or two of the lefties get it to Erseg. 0:22:27.080 --> 0:22:31.680 They have their recipe and the Yankees. I my, if 0:22:31.680 --> 0:22:34.199 this was what I was doing for clicks or a 0:22:34.240 --> 0:22:37.800 breakout or whatever, it's either Yankees big for me tonight, 0:22:38.240 --> 0:22:41.800 like rode On special, Stanton gets close around a couple 0:22:41.760 --> 0:22:44.119 of balls, Judge gets closer around a couple of balls 0:22:44.160 --> 0:22:47.920 and it happens, or it's Kansas City close again. It's 0:22:48.000 --> 0:22:51.520 just not how the sport works. So I'm not doing that, 0:22:51.600 --> 0:22:53.520 but that's how I feel like. If Kansas City's in 0:22:53.560 --> 0:22:56.440 this late, they need this game. They have the speed 0:22:58.240 --> 0:23:02.840 the defense that the Yankees do not. Or I think, 0:23:03.040 --> 0:23:05.320 you know, there is a chance. And it was funny 0:23:05.359 --> 0:23:09.399 listening to my guy Ryan Rossillo, who has Boston roots 0:23:10.200 --> 0:23:13.160 and was kind of like he did something with ad 0:23:13.240 --> 0:23:16.199 Nan Verk talking about baseball said pass and canceled on 0:23:16.280 --> 0:23:20.320
