Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Awake and Jake myself, Jake's story
Speaker 1: Ellie producer BBD going through the world of Deporte's baseball
Speaker 1: is obviously killing it those on the YouTube. I am
Speaker 1: flexing my left bicep right now. We got a little
Speaker 1: vain action. Okay, playoffs have been awesome. It's funny going
Speaker 1: back in hindsight, and I think it'd probably be funny
Speaker 1: going back to last year's Waking Jake's are talking baseballs
Speaker 1: or whatever and being like, you know, I'm sure we
Speaker 1: were locked in to the playoffs. In fact, I know
Speaker 1: we were locked into the playoffs. But the Texas Rangers
Speaker 1: were blowing teams out. The Snakes were running it up.
Speaker 1: I mean, their comeback series against Philly was pretty cool,
Speaker 1: but it was also a lot of big leads early
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. These postseason, these postseasons, this postseason
Speaker 1: has been incredibly dramatic. Even Yankees Royals Game one, which
Speaker 1: we'll get Game two tonight, but that was back and
Speaker 1: forth every inning for a while. It was literally the
Speaker 1: most lead flips in a playoff game or some ish
Speaker 1: like that. The Mets are doing actual voodoo or something
Speaker 1: at this point, but they got out Voodoo at the
Speaker 1: end by the fight in Phillies. The Dodgers Padre series
Speaker 1: is living up to every part of that billing, although
Speaker 1: I do think have some hotter takes on that end
Speaker 1: of the spectrum and the rude way to end at
Speaker 1: Cleveland and Detroit are playing. Although I still have hope
Speaker 1: for my Tigers, everyone else's kind of run away and
Speaker 1: we did run into the creepy neighbor comparison for the
Speaker 1: Cleveland Guardians that we can explain that further in a
Speaker 1: little bit. Also at the end of the show, highlight
Speaker 1: what was a pretty sick college football weekend, go doors,
Speaker 1: Historic went over Alabama, and then we'll go through the
Speaker 1: football weekend that finishes tonight with some Saints at the chefs.
Speaker 1: We will start with the baseball and you know, I
Speaker 1: think I tend to lean when the Yankees are an
Speaker 1: option starting there. But let's land there. How about that?
Speaker 1: Because we got more action last night from the National
Speaker 1: League Padres. Dodgers Padres answer back after Game one, which
Speaker 1: I think everyone did a head tilt of, like the
Speaker 1: Padres were sneaky. The favorites in this series, like I
Speaker 1: don't know what Vegas actually had the money at but
Speaker 1: everyone fell in love with the Padres. Their lineup is
Speaker 1: sick and has stars. They're starting pitchers, which we still
Speaker 1: get sucked into the postseason, and then a wipe and bullpen.
Speaker 1: I do think they were generally the favorite around baseball
Speaker 1: against the Dodgers, and whether Vegas agreed with that or
Speaker 1: if it was just commentator, when you laid it all
Speaker 1: out there and what you really think is important come
Speaker 1: playoff time, it felt like the Padres had the whole recipe,
Speaker 1: or maybe the Dodgers were missing a little bit that
Speaker 1: in with wild card teams having a little bit more
Speaker 1: success under this new format, I think if not a
Speaker 1: coin flip Padres, maybe a slight lean from the baseball community.
Speaker 1: And what happens Dodgers starter gets knocked around Yamamoto three innings,
Speaker 1: five earn runs. Okay, here we go. This is what
Speaker 1: we're talking about. The thing is the Dodgers can do that,
Speaker 1: and they could do more, and they showed it, and
Speaker 1: they have some very good guys in their bullpen. Blake
Speaker 1: Trinan almost made our resident Padres fan Ryan Cohen, angrier
Speaker 1: than I thought I could see that human. He's seen
Speaker 1: a lot of sweepers over the last five years. It
Speaker 1: seemed like that have hurt his soul. Now it did
Speaker 1: take kind of a heroic effort out of trying, and
Speaker 1: he throws thirty nine pitches that probably had him out
Speaker 1: of last night's game, not that it became a factor.
Speaker 1: Maybe he could have come in, who knows, but it
Speaker 1: ended up not becoming a problem because the Padres gave
Speaker 1: it to him. So closing out that game one, Dodgers
Speaker 1: looked like the Dodgers. Otani hits a not an all
Speaker 1: time homer, but down three, tied at three, game one
Speaker 1: against your division rivals, you're that guy, and then they
Speaker 1: continue to go. They outscore him seven to five, and
Speaker 1: you're like, that's right. Maybe the Padres shouldn't have kind
Speaker 1: of been the favorite or even a coin flip, because
Speaker 1: the Dodgers won more game and they have stars and
Speaker 1: they're gonna find a way to pitch and people are
Speaker 1: overlooking that bullpen Imo. The Padres come back and answer,
Speaker 1: and it's led by Fernando Tatis, who his playoff numbers,
Speaker 1: he's okay, shots fired to Dodgers fans, he's reverse kershawing,
Speaker 1: he is he's one dot fiving in his postseason career,
Speaker 1: which is now is like forty five at bats like
Speaker 1: it's not like it's not like a five game weekend
Speaker 1: like it's he's been playing, uh, and he's been raking.
Speaker 1: So he goes yard in the first to set the
Speaker 1: tone after they lose, because if you go down two
Speaker 1: to oh, it doesn't make it impossible, but it makes
Speaker 1: it just really hard. Even though in this series I
Speaker 1: said this on Talking Baseball, I don't think it would
Speaker 1: have been over. He sets the tone with that one.
Speaker 1: David Peralta the freight train. Let me find the splits
Speaker 1: because I haven't actually done them, but I know he
Speaker 1: got a start off. Oh, Freddy Peralta's page comes up. Sorry, sorry,
Speaker 1: Brewers fans still kind of fresh, huh. And my guy
Speaker 1: Ryan Rosillo always shout him out. He has baseball in
Speaker 1: his soul, but he kind of has to hide it
Speaker 1: because there's so much basketball in football. He does. He
Speaker 1: did a very passionate speech on how brutal that is
Speaker 1: for Brewers fans to watch one hundred and sixty two
Speaker 1: games in a full season. Be front runners and kind
Speaker 1: of have it in the ninth inning with your guy
Speaker 1: on the mountain, like I know we did this, but god,
Speaker 1: it's part of what makes beautiful baseball beautiful and so
Speaker 1: sucky at the same time. So sucky, David Peralta, let
Speaker 1: me do my best splitty split since July third, So July, August, September,
Speaker 1: three months of the baseball season. This guy was two
Speaker 1: eighty seven to three forty five and eight seventeen ops
Speaker 1: like that's that's a middle of the lineup guy who
Speaker 1: was another part of the reason the Padres had a
Speaker 1: really strong rail season. He hits the two run homer
Speaker 1: to go up three to nothing. That's important because the
Speaker 1: Padres were up three nothing in that first game, so
Speaker 1: if you blow that. Muki hits one out of the
Speaker 1: park in the first, but it's robbed by Profar who
Speaker 1: kind of pimps it. And then we've got people being
Speaker 1: emotional in the stands. Dodgers had a couple rallies. Merrill
Speaker 1: makes a great catch, Tatis makes a great catch line
Speaker 1: out to first with the bass juicy, and then we
Speaker 1: saw this rivalry kicking in the bad way. He can't
Speaker 1: throw stuff on the field. It's just a no go.
Speaker 1: It's just a no go. I know. It's a few
Speaker 1: bad and there's a lot of Dodger fans out there
Speaker 1: today like those are just illo. It's like, I know
Speaker 1: some Yankees bleacher people have done stuff and we're like, dude,
Speaker 1: they're just some college kids. But it's where it's the
Speaker 1: whole fan base. You gotta wear that and you can't
Speaker 1: do that. But man, this got heated. Flaherty and Machado
Speaker 1: yelling at each other. It's everything you want in a
Speaker 1: playoff series. H My hot take, I think it's San
Speaker 1: Diego's I picked them coming into this. I think they
Speaker 1: have the leg up in Game three. Buehler has been
Speaker 1: he hasn't been Walker Buehler this year. He's shown a
Speaker 1: couple signs recently, not even that Walker Buehler. But could
Speaker 1: he grind through five playoff innings? Absolutely a s it.
Speaker 1: Michael King is coming off the most dominant start of
Speaker 1: the postseason. The Padres have the momentum. They're gonna be
Speaker 1: going back home, and the thing for me that I
Speaker 1: can't shake that is probably bad logic, but I think
Speaker 1: if the Padres win three, they're gonna win four. I
Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna allow them to go back to
Speaker 1: La We saw the Phillies do this to the Braves
Speaker 1: a couple of times. It's eerily similar. And the currently
Speaker 1: Land and Knack is lined up for Game four. That
Speaker 1: with that San Diego crowd and the dudes in that lineup,
Speaker 1: that's baseball is not a prediction sport. It's near impossible.
Speaker 1: But that's kind of where I'm at with that. And
Speaker 1: watch as Otani, Mookie and Freddy hit back to back
Speaker 1: to back off King are in the first No, I
Speaker 1: would never wish that on Mike King. We love Mike King.
Speaker 1: That series is electric, must watch whenever you can. The
Speaker 1: rest of the way For the other National League series,
Speaker 1: Mets Phil's copy and paste without too much of the
Speaker 1: heated stuff. Although did we ever get anything about the
Speaker 1: Brandon Nemo talking to JT real Mudo that on Jim's radar?
Speaker 1: Does anyone care?
Speaker 2: I saw one guy that isn't Jimmy douolip reed saying
Speaker 2: like trying to say like it was when Sanchez getting out.
Speaker 2: Nimo's not a shit talker anyway.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so there's.
Speaker 2: A lot of factors.
Speaker 1: Nimo's mouth kind of weird. Somebody put the video in front.
Speaker 1: Everyone agreed that it'll happen at some point, But man,
Speaker 1: these the miracle Mets who get shut down by Wheeler,
Speaker 1: and you've seen it in baseball a thousand times, that
Speaker 1: shutdown starting pitcher goes and there's nothing you can do
Speaker 1: against them. Doesn't matter who's coming out of the bullpen.
Speaker 1: It could be Class A this year, it could be
Speaker 1: Prime Mo. Just seeing a new face and getting a
Speaker 1: new result somehow, some way changes the whole energy. That's
Speaker 1: what happens. They put up five runs in that inning,
Speaker 1: two to Ozho to five two. They get an insurance run.
Speaker 1: The Mets take game one without using dash and it
Speaker 1: just feels like they have their formula, like they're gonna
Speaker 1: pitch enough uh and they're never out of the game.
Speaker 1: If there's two strikes, two outs, it does not matter.
Speaker 1: They'll be involved. So it goes to the next game
Speaker 1: and it's Sanchez getting the start, not Nola, which I
Speaker 1: think the Phillies were lining up as know for Sanchez
Speaker 1: getting this playoff start. Let's do it at home. He's
Speaker 1: been really good and Nola the experienced veteran at this point,
Speaker 1: we can have him on the road and if you
Speaker 1: ended up going down oh two, you got Nola Waitton,
Speaker 1: which Sanchez for the playoffs start. So the Phillies, they
Speaker 1: they have usually a slightly unique, cool formula, and that's
Speaker 1: because they have a lot of unique talented baseball players
Speaker 1: that in this game, Mark Vientos welcome to the national stage.
Speaker 1: Building off an incredible rookie year. He goes to run
Speaker 1: down APO in the second or third there, uh and
Speaker 1: Louis Severino's holding it. And I'll be honest, I kind
Speaker 1: of bet against Sevi. Not a lot, just kind of,
Speaker 1: you know, a little parlay Phillies. Sure whatever I thought
Speaker 1: Schwarbs would get him, for sure, not to be rude
Speaker 1: to Sev. Seve was amazing, great start for him, and
Speaker 1: good for him. Love Seve really do. Uh. And I
Speaker 1: think he's gonna get himself a nicely contract coming up here.
Speaker 1: And he makes it. He makes it into the six,
Speaker 1: but the bad man is waiting. Zero's on the scoreboard.
Speaker 1: Harper gets him with the two run shot ninety nine
Speaker 1: mile pro fastball dead center field. The energy that guy
Speaker 1: plays with it makes Yankee fans jealous about twice a year.
Speaker 1: Unless we actually do something this year, then we could
Speaker 1: put it in our rearview. But the vim and vigor
Speaker 1: and energy that guy has while being one of the
Speaker 1: stars of the game. It's just tough to match. I
Speaker 1: don't there's not much comparable to it. And then Cassianos
Speaker 1: three pitches from Sevy, here's your shutout. Here's three runs.
Speaker 1: Tied game. The Mets aren't dead, obviously not. Uh. This
Speaker 1: game flips back and forth, just like every game this postseason,
Speaker 1: just like every Mets game this postseason. As Nimo breaks
Speaker 1: up the tie, as we mentioned to J. T roomydo
Speaker 1: a little bit, it was a weird exchange. And then
Speaker 1: bry Sin Scott rejoins the party two run triple, and again,
Speaker 1: like Harper almost enters, you got to pitch around him
Speaker 1: if it's not the right at bat that allows him
Speaker 1: and even Cassianos to get the walk off in the
Speaker 1: ninth that was used presurped not a word by the
Speaker 1: Mark Vento's other two run homer in the ninth off
Speaker 1: of Mattie Strom. Matt Strom just want to check in
Speaker 1: on his regular season.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: In sixty two point two innings he had a one
Speaker 1: to eight seventy RA and Viento's and the Mets could
Speaker 1: not care less. And when you get to the postseason,
Speaker 1: your stats reset, so uh. Like I mentioned, Casianos ends
Speaker 1: up getting the walk off off of McGill because they
Speaker 1: used Diaz in the middle of the lineup, he doesn't
Speaker 1: look super sharp. He ends up getting the blown save
Speaker 1: in this game, while McGill gets the loss. Harper not
Speaker 1: being able to pitch to him and mcgil gets him
Speaker 1: to a three to two count trying to pitch around him,
Speaker 1: which is impressive in its own but then he walks
Speaker 1: him in. Castiano's officially hot and we've seen it. It's funny.
Speaker 1: Last postseason postseason, he got so hot and so cold
Speaker 1: so quick. It was he was like the star of
Speaker 1: the postseason for it was like three games, two games,
Speaker 1: and then it was like he was the slump, most
Speaker 1: slumping player in the postseason. So weird sport people, and
Speaker 1: that's part of the reason we love it. This tea
Speaker 1: is up for now a three game set as well.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I have the Phillies as the fave
Speaker 1: because I don't have them losing two in a row
Speaker 1: at City, but people didn't have the Snakes coming back
Speaker 1: against them. That's why it's not a prediction sport. But
Speaker 1: I have them at least bringing it back to the bank,
Speaker 1: and maybe that's maybe that's good for the Mets because
Speaker 1: they are sick puppies that as long as they have
Speaker 1: a chance in that game. I've seen them shut down
Speaker 1: a couple crowds. I've seen them shut down Atlanta. I've
Speaker 1: seen them shut down Milwaukee. You can't say they are
Speaker 1: out of anything yet, but it felt like Philly rejoined
Speaker 1: the party last night. And God, that Mets crowd. I
Speaker 1: want to be surprised if we see some of the
Speaker 1: hostility that we saw in La and San Diego come
Speaker 1: out in Queens, New York in October with the Phillies.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, the Phillies fans in the stands, we're
Speaker 1: gonna have.
Speaker 2: Mets haven't had a home game during this run yet.
Speaker 1: I don't support these You're gonna see brawl videos like
Speaker 1: that's just where we're at, and you're gonna see some
Speaker 1: amazing baseball. So that's on the American League side. The series,
Speaker 1: everyone's being slightly rude to that kicks off at four
Speaker 1: o'clock today, So even MLB being slightly rude to them,
Speaker 1: the Tigers and the guard Dogs. Tiger Your mania went
Speaker 1: away quick, didn't it. The Tigers best record for a
Speaker 1: month and a half, they took out the Houston Astros,
Speaker 1: and then after one game, one inning, really everyone's out
Speaker 1: on the kiddies. The guard Dogs put up a five
Speaker 1: in that first inning. Could have went different. McKinstry fields
Speaker 1: a ground ball, or that never happens because Ramirez gets
Speaker 1: punched out on strike three. Who knows the game script
Speaker 1: of baseball can change a lot in a hurry that
Speaker 1: everyone's moved on. I think it comes back tonight. I
Speaker 1: am not done with these Tigers, and that shouldn't be
Speaker 1: such a hot take. With Trek Scoobel on the bump,
Speaker 1: who was six innings scoreless against Houston in his playoff debut.
Speaker 1: There's gonna be shadows in Cleveland. Don't be surprised if
Speaker 1: there's a lot of zeros on the scoreboard. The joke
Speaker 1: I made on Talking Baseball, I think I might bet
Speaker 1: this game night thing. Either way, that might be how
Speaker 1: it goes down baseball. You'd see another five in the
Speaker 1: first I'm not done with the Tigers. I just think
Speaker 1: Schooble is a cy young winner. They could very easily
Speaker 1: win this game and not like a surprise, like oh
Speaker 1: my god, like no, Schooble can shut them down and
Speaker 1: they can do enough on offense. We saw it against Framber,
Speaker 1: We've seen it for a month and a half now,
Speaker 1: coming up on two that, uh, I think I want.
Speaker 1: I believe in sports. I believe in pink. You'll feel
Speaker 1: a little bit more of this when I talk about
Speaker 1: the college game. Detroit is such a sports city that
Speaker 1: has been thirsty for success for so long. Look how
Speaker 1: hot to trot they are about the Lions, who have
Speaker 1: been a historically bad franchise. You know those those Tigers
Speaker 1: teams that didn't get it done that ended up like
Speaker 1: resetting the franchise because they put so much money into
Speaker 1: that team, and then they had to rebuild because it
Speaker 1: got old. The Tigers are in the postseason. They've got
Speaker 1: the magic of baseball behind them. If they win with Schooball,
Speaker 1: I think that place is going to be an absolute
Speaker 1: looney bit. Like I don't know Oakland athletic proportions, probably
Speaker 1: not Vvezuela's and stuff like that. With all that being said,
Speaker 1: do it tonight. Matthew Boyd's numbers this year were really good.
Speaker 1: He's getting the start for Cleveland. There's going to be
Speaker 1: a lot of zero's on the scoreboard. The over under
Speaker 1: is five and a half. That's as low as you've
Speaker 1: seen this season. So I'm not done with the Tigers.
Speaker 1: Win today. You got schooball you have will Vest. Maybe
Speaker 1: that's their formula, might just be schooble to Vest today.
Speaker 1: Get it done, get it to Detroit with a chance
Speaker 1: to let baseball kick in and let a home field
Speaker 1: advantage that Detroit as a bill. Sure, those games later
Speaker 1: in the season started to get more packed. In October
Speaker 1: game in Detroit, absolute looney bin, get me there, Cleveland.
Speaker 1: If you hated all that, well, your compliment is the
Speaker 1: weird thing we mentioned on Talking Baseball. Trev nailed it.
Speaker 1: You guys are the weird neighbor. You know, nothing wrong
Speaker 1: with you. You haven't done anything too offensive. I jumped to, like,
Speaker 1: you know, you're kind of a scrawny guy. You're always
Speaker 1: wearing a hoodie and jeans, you know, five nine kind
Speaker 1: of skinny, and you're like, I don't know. Like someone
Speaker 1: brings up that guy in a fight and you're like
Speaker 1: that guy, I don't know, and then you're like, dude,
Speaker 1: he trains American ninja Warrior. He put two dudes in
Speaker 1: a headlock at a PTA meeting and you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: it kind of makes sense. Like the one time you
Speaker 1: saw him and like he was in the garage and
Speaker 1: he just was covered in veins and you're like, wow,
Speaker 1: I saw him catch a squirrel with his bare hands.
Speaker 1: Like Cleveland is kind of a SICO team. They have
Speaker 1: very much enough in the lineup. They play great defense.
Speaker 1: My god, I if Cleveland does go on a run,
Speaker 1: I hope the highlight is their defense up the middle.
Speaker 1: Bring that back to the sport. Rokio and Jimenez up
Speaker 1: the middle, Kwan in the outfield. Basically, whoever they put
Speaker 1: out there is gonna play some form of defense that
Speaker 1: I hope more of that comes back to baseball. I
Speaker 1: still want a band shifting the outfield so we get
Speaker 1: more doubles and more athletic defenders. That's for another time.
Speaker 1: We'll wrap up the baseball with the New York Yankees, Babe.
Speaker 1: They play Game two tonight after surviving a Game one
Speaker 1: against the Royals that all of their bugaboos showed up
Speaker 1: at one point in time, Stanton not being able to run,
Speaker 1: Labor being bad at running the defense, bullpen usage. They
Speaker 1: end up getting through it. Luke Weaver looks right on
Speaker 1: the back end. The Yankees win Game one at home,
Speaker 1: thank god with the layoff the next day. If they
Speaker 1: didn't just ruins like two days.
Speaker 2: Conversation one with up to two Reagan's games still left.
Speaker 2: Like he specifically right, and I think.
Speaker 1: Casey's saying similar things.
Speaker 2: They're bad verse lefties too.
Speaker 1: Sure, uh so it's Rodan versus Reagan's tonight a couple
Speaker 1: rs who throw l It's gonna be a fun one.
Speaker 1: Rodan coming off of his tough season where he got
Speaker 1: his body in shape. He had a really solid year
Speaker 1: for the Yankees this year, and is you know it
Speaker 1: all built up for this start. He was the guy
Speaker 1: they brought in to be the two with Cole. He
Speaker 1: was the guy when they resigned Judge that it was like, hey,
Speaker 1: this team needs more, Okay, let's get this guy. He's
Speaker 1: really good. Huge start for Rodin while the Yanks tea gone.
Speaker 1: Reagan's who he is great? You know behind maybe scooball
Speaker 1: one of the best young lefties in baseball. Let's see
Speaker 1: what he has for them. The Yanks struggled against lefties
Speaker 1: early on in the air Jazz Chisholm, who is lefties
Speaker 1: a little better versu lefties the Stanton stuff was weird
Speaker 1: all year. Glabor Torrez who picked it up in the
Speaker 1: second half. He's good against lefties this year, so they
Speaker 1: have more of a chance than they did early on
Speaker 1: in the air. But Cole Reagan's is a guy, and
Speaker 1: I think this is this is the one for Kansas City.
Speaker 1: I think this is the one. You know when you
Speaker 1: come in you're facing the Yankees, Garrett Cole fresh bullpen.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying the Royals chocked it up as a loss.
Speaker 1: It's a game they almost won a couple times. But
Speaker 1: this is the one, Like, hey, we got some statistics
Speaker 1: on our side. You know, we're a game deeper into
Speaker 1: the postseason. We saw the Bronx Bobby Witt doesn't do
Speaker 1: anything that first game. Wouldn't be surprised if he bounces back.
Speaker 1: They had a couple of balls go to the wall,
Speaker 1: a couple balls hit hard in the first thing, like
Speaker 1: they had a few, you know, the Jazz chishom. The
Speaker 1: game scoring run probably was out at second base, but
Speaker 1: they couldn't overview, overview, review it and overturn it. Thank you. Yeah.
Speaker 1: If I'm a if I'm a KC fan, I'm I
Speaker 1: wasn't stoked with how Game one went down, but it's
Speaker 1: also like, well, we can win Game two kind of easily.
Speaker 1: Reagan's one or two of the lefties get it to Erseg.
Speaker 1: They have their recipe and the Yankees. I my, if
Speaker 1: this was what I was doing for clicks or a
Speaker 1: breakout or whatever, it's either Yankees big for me tonight,
Speaker 1: like rode On special, Stanton gets close around a couple
Speaker 1: of balls, Judge gets closer around a couple of balls
Speaker 1: and it happens, or it's Kansas City close again. It's
Speaker 1: just not how the sport works. So I'm not doing that,
Speaker 1: but that's how I feel like. If Kansas City's in
Speaker 1: this late, they need this game. They have the speed
Speaker 1: the defense that the Yankees do not. Or I think,
Speaker 1: you know, there is a chance. And it was funny
Speaker 1: listening to my guy Ryan Rossillo, who has Boston roots
Speaker 1: and was kind of like he did something with ad
Speaker 1: Nan Verk talking about baseball said pass and canceled on
Speaker 1: him tough. Oh jeff uh. It was funny. K Adnan
Speaker 1: opened up with it because he was like, you know,
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. You guys reached out to me yesterday
Speaker 1: who canceled, and he was just like passing, That's that's life.
Speaker 1: That's how it works sometimes. But it was funny hearing
Speaker 1: because around our office there's a lot of Yankee fans
Speaker 1: and everyone's kind of been like, hey, the path's pretty good.
Speaker 1: Like Houston's out, it's Ale Central. The Yankees have a
Speaker 1: really good record against the Al Central. Like the path
Speaker 1: is there, like, let's go Yanks. I know it's baseball,
Speaker 1: but that's it. And it was funny hearing a little
Speaker 1: bit more of a Boston tone come out and being like,
Speaker 1: if the Yanks don't do it this year, and it's
Speaker 1: funny because we think that way, but we're just not
Speaker 1: saying it yet. The Yanks path is laid out that
Speaker 1: I'm I'm hoping and this is obvious as there's a
Speaker 1: Derek Jeter poster behind me that Judge or Stanton one
Speaker 1: of the big dog lets it eat tonight. Rodin's dominant
Speaker 1: that this is the start of being like the New
Speaker 1: York Yankees are actually gonna go to the World Series.
Speaker 1: I hope it's business like. I hope it's dominant. Reminder,
Speaker 1: I'm a Yankees fan. Sorry to all my Royals brothers
Speaker 1: and sisters that are tuning in because you're hoping it's
Speaker 1: business like. The other way that Salvy and Bobby both
Speaker 1: go yard, Vinnie finds the porch. I just think the
Speaker 1: Yanks have an actual chance to make it business like.
Speaker 1: Powerful the Yanks are here, you could put the lefty
Speaker 1: stuff out the window. Let's play a clean game. I
Speaker 1: don't think that's gonna happen. I think it's gonna be anxious.
Speaker 1: And we'll be live streaming tonight, so make sure you
Speaker 1: guys tune in talking Yanks. It's a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: The live streams are a lot of fun. So, as
Speaker 1: I mentioned, college football and this is the beauty of sports.
Speaker 1: College football. Last weekend was supposed to be one of
Speaker 1: their like meh weeks like they didn't have the huge
Speaker 1: matchup and as college football always has a way, College
Speaker 1: Game Day was at Cal Berkeley for the first time.
Speaker 1: Caught some of it. It's a good show. They have fun.
Speaker 1: The college kids are crazy. I still kind of don't
Speaker 1: get it. I mean, maybe it's part of me not
Speaker 1: going to a big school. But like the cow kids
Speaker 1: set up overnight because the show starts at nine am Eastern,
Speaker 1: which is six am West, coast. So they said kids
Speaker 1: were set up at midnight, So don't do they just drink?
Speaker 1: Are their bathrooms? I don't fully get it. I'm interested.
Speaker 1: I'm sure I would have been there, and I actually
Speaker 1: want to mention that game in a minute. But there
Speaker 1: wasn't the big one. There wasn't the top five matchup,
Speaker 1: which if you look at college football this upcoming week,
Speaker 1: there's actually a couple big boy ones on the weekend.
Speaker 1: There's Bedlam Texas, Oklahoma went to that game once, good time,
Speaker 1: flex USC Penn State, USC not ranked number two, Ohio
Speaker 1: State verse number three, Oregon that's the big one in
Speaker 1: Oregon Ole miss LSU nine verse thirteen. So like this
Speaker 1: weekend was lining up to be the weekend, and yet
Speaker 1: last weekend became the weekend. Vanderbilt beats Alabama, so I
Speaker 1: am married into a Vandy family. Jess went to Vanderbilt.
Speaker 1: This is a true quote, not embellish at all, cause
Speaker 1: I was watching college game Day and Jess popped by
Speaker 1: and she was actually entertained by it. She was kind
Speaker 1: of like, Hey, this is this is this is good.
Speaker 1: Who's that guy yelling? McAfee explained, explain some of the football,
Speaker 1: baseball rollover. She's like that, who's that. Other guys like,
Speaker 1: that's Marshaun Lynch. He's awesome. Cal guy came in as
Speaker 1: their guest picker. And so the bottom line, it's got
Speaker 1: the games coming up. Who's playing? And it's Alabama Vanderbilt.
Speaker 1: So I go, oh, Jess, Bama verus Vandy today and
Speaker 1: she goes why And I was like, okay, I mean, I'm,
Speaker 1: you know, be careful with the man's playing here, Jake.
Speaker 1: But I was like, you know, they're both in the SEC.
Speaker 1: They play every couple of years, and that's how this works.
Speaker 1: And I didn't go into any of that. I just
Speaker 1: laughed and she was like, that's not even fair. Welcome
Speaker 1: to sports. The Vanderbilt Commodores beat Alabama. They get a
Speaker 1: lead on them, and then it hits that scary part
Speaker 1: of college football where it's like, okay, Bama's coming now, huh.
Speaker 1: They hold him off. Vanderbilt wins, a historic moment for
Speaker 1: their football program. The Nick Saban quote that had been
Speaker 1: going around a couple weeks before that of everywhere in
Speaker 1: the SEC is tough to play except Vanderbilt. Man, it
Speaker 1: it just kind of goes to show like if you
Speaker 1: just kind of asked me how. I was like, that's again,
Speaker 1: you're not going to get a great answer, but I
Speaker 1: was like, you know, it's everything turns into different levels
Speaker 1: of motivation. You have to have a certain level of skill,
Speaker 1: Like Vanderbilt football still brings in SEC athletes motivation, whether
Speaker 1: it's from those quotes or Bama just coming off having
Speaker 1: beat Georgia, which is the game they had circled all year.
Speaker 1: That their motivation was down going into the place that
Speaker 1: everyone said it's easy to play in the SEC and
Speaker 1: sometimes college football and sports finds a way. So that
Speaker 1: was a magical one. They take down the goalpost, they
Speaker 1: carry it all the way through downtown and throw it
Speaker 1: in the river. It's listed as a fifty five minute walk.
Speaker 1: A city that doesn't need that much of a turbo
Speaker 1: boost got it that night. Pretty cool for them, and
Speaker 1: I believe in the rest of college football. Five of
Speaker 1: the top eleven dropped. Tennessee loss to Arkansas. Arkansas has
Speaker 1: a couple really unlucky or tough losses this year. I'll
Speaker 1: say take down number four Tennessee the Miami game. So
Speaker 1: college games days in cal it's a crazy environment. It's
Speaker 1: always funny seeing the schools. Cal had like five different cheers.
Speaker 1: That's where McAfee was being really funny on game day,
Speaker 1: Like whenever there was a moment, he would just break
Speaker 1: into one of their different cheers and he's like, I
Speaker 1: love it. I can't believe how many different things these
Speaker 1: nerds got going on here. And so Miami number eight
Speaker 1: in the country. The U kind of back a couple
Speaker 1: scary close games, including this one where they were down
Speaker 1: I want to say it was thirty nine to eighteen
Speaker 1: or seventeen. Well, college football reared its head in the
Speaker 1: bad way. Miami gets three scores. There's a couple controversial
Speaker 1: plays that Cal Berkeley. So this whole this moment in
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt that Jess is giving me speeches about how she
Speaker 1: understands sports. More from this game, like, Okay, whoa Cal.
Speaker 1: They're hosting college game day for the first time. You know,
Speaker 1: they have some history Cal Stanford the game. They've got
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, Marshawn Lynch, you know, they they've they're a
Speaker 1: nerdy school. A love Vanderbilt that you know plays football
Speaker 1: in a big conference that sometimes they have good years,
Speaker 1: a lot of times they don't. They're hosting game day
Speaker 1: they're hosting Miami as an ACC team CAL in the
Speaker 1: Atlantic Coast Conference, a reminder where college football has gone there.
Speaker 1: They end up blowing three score lead late, incredibly brutal
Speaker 1: a twenty four hour day for a lot of Cal
Speaker 1: fans that could have went down and was a quarter
Speaker 1: away from going down as one of the great days
Speaker 1: in Cal football history. It goes the other way as
Speaker 1: number eight Miami steals it. Number nine Missouri lest Texas
Speaker 1: A and M. They got routed. Texas A and m's
Speaker 1: been looking for a signature win for a long time.
Speaker 1: Washington unranked takes down number ten Michigan and USC they
Speaker 1: lose to the Golden Gophers of Minnesota. So yeah, it's
Speaker 1: where college football gets their wins. That kind of anything
Speaker 1: can happen on any day, and we saw that a
Speaker 1: little bit. Kind of a cool story. Foreman with Indiana
Speaker 1: never been known for their football program. Really, they're six
Speaker 1: and zero and their coach had the quote the other
Speaker 1: week that said, like I want to get it right.
Speaker 1: He said, google me, I'm a pretty good coach, or
Speaker 1: I just win. Let me get it right, Indiana football
Speaker 1: coach google me quote. So if you got a coach
Speaker 1: all right, Kurt Signetti, I win Google me, hey man,
Speaker 1: that's a He's one hundred and nineteen and thirty five
Speaker 1: and his forty one year coaching career. So Kurt, he
Speaker 1: believes in what he does and he's got a non
Speaker 1: traditional football power doing some powerful things. So that's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: So a crazy Saturday, four playoff games, college football, college footballing.
Speaker 1: It all leads us into some NFL and I'm probably
Speaker 1: not gonna be as d as I normally get because
Speaker 1: Sunday was crazy too. I mean Sunday there was playoff
Speaker 1: baseball talking Giants had a live event that was at
Speaker 1: but it was kind of different. To appreciate football the
Speaker 1: same way. Starts off on Thursday Night, Thursday Night, unders right,
Speaker 1: divisional game, unders right, wrong, thirty six to thirty. Kirk
Speaker 1: Cousins five h nine through the year, crazy day for him,
Speaker 1: Drake London Mooney, I mean, this is Kyle Pitts in
Speaker 1: the mix seven for eighty eight. This is this is
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons that they dreamed of When they heard
Speaker 1: that they were getting Kirk Cousins and drafting a first
Speaker 1: round people forget and hey, the Bucks were in it
Speaker 1: till the end. Baker three touchdowns, no interceptions. Shod White
Speaker 1: and Bucky Irving are a sneaky, nice little backfield combo.
Speaker 1: Mike Evans two touchdowns and that's obvious. The third touchdown
Speaker 1: one catch, four yards touchdown for Sterling Shepherd on your
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. How do you like that? So that
Speaker 1: was a fun one to get into the week. Both
Speaker 1: those teams are now three and two, and I think
Speaker 1: the two teams competing for that division will find out
Speaker 1: if the Saints or how much they'll be in the
Speaker 1: mix playing the Chiefs tonight. Getting into the rest of
Speaker 1: the week. I normally save them for Lass or sometimes
Speaker 1: I miss them because they pop up at the top
Speaker 1: of my page even though they don't play in chronological order.
Speaker 1: My Denver Ponies the Broncos, Baby, We're back. The Denver
Speaker 1: Broncos are three and two. They beat the Raiders bo
Speaker 1: Nicks with another clean game. Two touchdowns, zero interceptions, two
Speaker 1: hundred and six yards. Not crazy, but no mistakes. Williams
Speaker 1: and McLaughlin combined to do enough out of the backfield.
Speaker 1: Williams was actually the leading receiver after and followed by
Speaker 1: little Jordan Humphrey. Great name, just ten ten name and yeah,
Speaker 1: the Raiders seem to be swirling the wrong direction. They've
Speaker 1: got a Devonte Adams question looming. They may have a
Speaker 1: quarterback question ruining as aid and O'Connell comes in for
Speaker 1: Minshew In this game, God Madison with one of the
Speaker 1: tougher running backs stat lines you'll see. But Brock Bauers
Speaker 1: kind of emerging as a young star in this lead
Speaker 1: eight for ninety seven to one touchdown. There's a big
Speaker 1: pick six in this game where the Raiders would have
Speaker 1: went up. I think it would have been seventeen to
Speaker 1: three instead pick six. Tai game. Broncos, turn it on
Speaker 1: and go from there. Where am I at with my Broncos?
Speaker 1: How about this next week should be like a must
Speaker 1: watch for me? Who do we got? We got the Chargers,
Speaker 1: We're hosting the Chargers. I'm in. I'm in a Chargers
Speaker 1: favored by three. They have their bye week this week,
Speaker 1: that would make sense. They do have their bye week,
Speaker 1: so that's a little tough. But let's see, let's see.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: We had our first London game, let's go, and it
Speaker 1: was the New York Jets against the Minnesota Vikings, and
Speaker 1: it was looking like it was gonna get ugly. Vikings
Speaker 1: are putting it on them, seventeen to nothing. They get
Speaker 1: the ball back, two minute drill, let's go up big,
Speaker 1: let's end this game, Jetta. They don't. They end up punting.
Speaker 1: Jets get the score before the half at seventeen to seven,
Speaker 1: and the Vikings couldn't get it going again. Aaron Jones
Speaker 1: gets hurt. That slowed down their offense, and the Jets
Speaker 1: just kept doing enough to stay alive, and stay alive,
Speaker 1: and stay alive. I've Rogers intercepted on their final desperation drive.
Speaker 1: Jets offense was never humming by any degree, although Garrett
Speaker 1: Wilson thirteen catches one on one in a touchdown, so
Speaker 1: him and Rodgers maybe getting that connection going on. Let's see,
Speaker 1: but the Vikings going into their bye week are five
Speaker 1: and oh, the Jets are two and three. I want
Speaker 1: to be surprised if we're doing a Jets Okay, Jets
Speaker 1: are two and three, Jets are four and three, Jets
Speaker 1: are four and three, Jets are four and five, Like
Speaker 1: that's kind of how their schedule lines up. And that's
Speaker 1: just kind of how the team feels right now. And
Speaker 1: they gotta be careful with Rogers man he's starting to
Speaker 1: get really banged up and he is an older statesman.
Speaker 1: So that was the London game. Bears are out the Panthers, good.
Speaker 1: Good for Caleb full day dj Moore starting to find
Speaker 1: it this season. Two touchdowns, one oh five, so maybe
Speaker 1: the Bears are coming. Three and oh at home. Panthers
Speaker 1: turning back into a Panther pumpkin a bit Dolphins Patriots, no,
Speaker 1: although the Patriots almost essentially win it on the last
Speaker 1: drive of the game out of bounds Dolphins fifteen to ten.
Speaker 1: Huntly with enough to get it done. Stevenson for fantasy
Speaker 1: owners has enough of a day good. One of the
Speaker 1: stories that I I mean, at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna end up being a week earlier than everyone.
Speaker 1: But it's the talk of the town, talk of the town.
Speaker 1: The Commanders. The Commanders are four and one. They hang
Speaker 1: another thirty spot, thirty four points against the Browns, who
Speaker 1: sure they are sprinting the wrong direction. But just another
Speaker 1: game with Jaden Daniels in control. Scary Terry over one
Speaker 1: hundred through the air, Jayden had eighty two on the ground.
Speaker 1: The Browns are a disaster. I saw one clip of
Speaker 1: DeShawn walking off when Stefanski was telling him to go
Speaker 1: for it like that was yo. Things in Cleveland with
Speaker 1: the Shawn we're hitting. Ah My Broncos hit a tipping
Speaker 1: point with Russ and they actually didn't. They actually kind
Speaker 1: of bounced back and were in contention. They blew a
Speaker 1: game late that took him out, so they benched Russ
Speaker 1: so he wouldn't meet his numbers so they could get
Speaker 1: rid of him. Like, let's be honest, the Deshaun experiment
Speaker 1: is over, Like what are we doing at this point?
Speaker 1: Like who thinks it's gonna turn around? No one in
Speaker 1: that locker room. I guess if you're someone that does
Speaker 1: keep that receipt and if they do, sick, But god,
Speaker 1: that's getting bad. The Jacksonville Jaguars they get to win
Speaker 1: on the board, thirty seven, thirty four. I didn't realize
Speaker 1: it even got that close. A lot of guys with
Speaker 1: big fantasy days in there cam little with the game
Speaker 1: winning field goal, great, don't really care. Hey good at
Speaker 1: for the jackson again one on the board. They should
Speaker 1: have probably had a win earlier this season. Colts were
Speaker 1: missing like nine starters, so really not that impressive, but
Speaker 1: uh oh to five just really stings good for them.
Speaker 1: This was another fun when the Bills and the Texans
Speaker 1: the reuniting of Stefan Diggs and Josh Allen side I.
Speaker 1: After the game, Stroud hits Nico Collins early, which Nicocollins
Speaker 1: the Texans receivers Nobody knew what to do with them
Speaker 1: coming into the season. Looks like that guy is a
Speaker 1: guy guy. He breaks free again. Stroud ends up with
Speaker 1: three thirty one. The Bills rally a comeback in the
Speaker 1: second half falls just short. Dodo a fifty nine yard
Speaker 1: Kayimi Fairbairn field goal. That's right, fifty nine. The field
Speaker 1: goals are absurd, although this weekend did have a few
Speaker 1: more kicker kicker misses. How about the Cardinals they sneak
Speaker 1: up on the Niners. This one kind of seemed like okay,
Speaker 1: Niners got to lead early. They go up twenty three
Speaker 1: to ten heading into the half. They they've been leaving
Speaker 1: a couple touchdowns out there that they've been trading in
Speaker 1: for field goals. Jake Moody twenty eight yard field goal.
Speaker 1: Jake Moody twenty yard field goal goal, Mitch Wesnowski twenty
Speaker 1: six yard field goal. Those are nothing I can make those.
Speaker 1: That means you're in the red zone tight and you're
Speaker 1: not scoring touchdowns, which left Arizona Cardinals into this game.
Speaker 1: Kyler Man, he has a couple moments. He had the
Speaker 1: fifty yard run to get it started for them in
Speaker 1: the first and then they get the the touchdown in
Speaker 1: the two in the fourth to get the game winning
Speaker 1: field goal. Niners drop to two and three, lose at
Speaker 1: home to the Arizona Cardinals. They are missing a lot
Speaker 1: of bodies right now. They are at the Seahawks, who
Speaker 1: just had a brutal loss to the g Man that
Speaker 1: they're gonna get their a game. I don't know. Hitting
Speaker 1: a weird part of the season. The San Francisco Niners,
Speaker 1: who we expect to be a power missing somebodies, not
Speaker 1: feeling as powerful. I mentioned the Giants, how about them?
Speaker 1: No moleik neighbors, no problem because they have Tyrone Tracy Junior.
Speaker 1: I was interested to find out. And Daniel Jones plays
Speaker 1: a great game like twenty three to thirty four, two touchdowns,
Speaker 1: no interceptions looked, Crisp Darius pinkslet big play Slayton eight
Speaker 1: catches for a buck twenty two in one touchdown. Wandale
Speaker 1: in some big spots. Both tailbacks, Tyrone Tracy and Gray
Speaker 1: both had moments of kind of being exposive. I was surprised,
Speaker 1: and I didn't know if it was just natural Giants
Speaker 1: hate or if I hadn't seen it a lot. Tyrone
Speaker 1: Tracy subbing in for Singletary this season, I kind of
Speaker 1: like what I saw in a non joking way. I
Speaker 1: kept telling Giants fans before the game. I was like,
Speaker 1: I like Tyrone Tracy today, and Pennick was like, laughing
Speaker 1: in my face. Sorry, talking Giants fans. Pennick apologize. Eighteen
Speaker 1: carries one hundred and twenty nine yards. They were dictating
Speaker 1: the run game to Seattle. It looked like they were
Speaker 1: kind of honing in on Jones and Tracy did his thing.
Speaker 1: So a nice win for them. In the phrase from
Speaker 1: Pennock after the game, and how quickly do the Seahawks
Speaker 1: go from three and oh, look at these Seahawks to
Speaker 1: three and two. They lost it home to the Giants.
Speaker 1: Justin Pennock was saying, the Giants have kind of dominated
Speaker 1: four out of five games. Commanders, if they had a kicker,
Speaker 1: they win Cowboys. I wouldn't say they dominated, but they
Speaker 1: were in it and then fighting.
Speaker 2: Could argue they outplayed.
Speaker 1: Sure Vikings, Vikings routed them in Week one and look
Speaker 1: where the Vikings are at. But yeah, this this Giant
Speaker 1: season could feel just a little bit different. They've got
Speaker 1: an interesting one with the Pengals, who they played probably
Speaker 1: the game of the day versus the Ravens forty one
Speaker 1: to thirty eight. Ravens. Joe Burr and Lamar were both
Speaker 1: putting on an absolute show. Four touchdowns three forty eight
Speaker 1: from Lamar three ninety two and five touchdowns from Burrow
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry with the long of fifty one yards and yeah,
Speaker 1: we had some kicks at the end of this one.
Speaker 1: McPherson misses it. I'd be telling you the Bengals are back.
Speaker 1: They take down the Ravens, They're two and three and
Speaker 1: they're on their way. They're one and four. That is
Speaker 1: a That is a serious hole. Jamar Chase one ninety three,
Speaker 1: That dude is a problem. Love both of these teams.
Speaker 1: You guys know, I was drinking the Ravens kool aid
Speaker 1: with Pennic last week. I think the way they can
Speaker 1: run the ball with Henry, Lamar, Justice Hill and how
Speaker 1: that opens up for the passing game and their formula.
Speaker 1: Todd Monk and the offensive coordinator Harbaugh ain't on them. Begles.
Speaker 1: No one's no one's gonna write off you can't for
Speaker 1: whatever reason. But god if the g men were too.
Speaker 1: It's interesting. Quick, it's interesting quick. Uh, Packers rams gonna
Speaker 1: be honest and get a ton of this one. Trevor
Speaker 1: Plouff was at the game, tweeted him he'd love that
Speaker 1: hyrone hundred on the ground. Great, So the one bad
Speaker 1: interception by Jordan Love can't do that. And then it
Speaker 1: all ends late or early on Monday morning because we
Speaker 1: get a rain delay in Pittsburgh. And this is one
Speaker 1: where I just don't I don't know how Vegas does it.
Speaker 1: I don't know how the world does it. But cowboys
Speaker 1: driving late. Steelers kind of survive this game. Ugly offense,
Speaker 1: probably Field's worst game. Pickens is missing, They can't get
Speaker 1: a lot going on, but they stay in the game.
Speaker 1: And that's what Trico and collins Worth they're talking about.
Speaker 1: This is what the Steelers do. They stay alive, They
Speaker 1: find a way, and they find a way. They score
Speaker 1: the touchdown to go up late in this one. Let's see,
Speaker 1: let me get the times for you, Friarmouth. Nice little
Speaker 1: shovel play. Four point fifty six left on the clock
Speaker 1: and it's too much time. Cowboys drive down the field.
Speaker 1: Clock's ticking. They're handling it well. They get down to
Speaker 1: the one. It looks like they're gonna get in clean.
Speaker 1: They botch the snap. They go back to like the
Speaker 1: four yard line incomplete pass. One play to win it.
Speaker 1: Dak to Jalen Tolbert, who barely he was having some
Speaker 1: problem with his biscuits to play before comes across the field,
Speaker 1: gets open. Dak kind of puts it in the one
Speaker 1: spot he has to to win the game. Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: go to three and two, three and oher on the
Speaker 1: road making that final play where Pittsburgh would have been
Speaker 1: four and one, and said they are also three and two,
Speaker 1: and yeah, just crazy. I before the game, I was
Speaker 1: kind of just like bored and sick of the rain delay.
Speaker 1: And I think this is part of it. I think
Speaker 1: they get more bets if you delay a game whatever.
Speaker 1: I don't know, Sunday Night football, it's theory. There was rain.
Speaker 1: I saw it. I saw the wet steps. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know. Steelers minus two and a half, they're there,
Speaker 1: they're not. How much money did that move in Vegas?
Speaker 1: I think the popular money was on Dallas. So again,
Speaker 1: they would go against a rigged theory. But it's just
Speaker 1: crazy how many games actually come down to stuff like that.
Speaker 1: Tolbert has one, Bobble gets tacked there, doesn't happen. Steelers
Speaker 1: won a game. I wonder how much they're gonna feel
Speaker 1: that one later in the year because it has felt
Speaker 1: like they've been playing with a little bit of Devil's
Speaker 1: magic in Pittsburgh. Well, Dallas came on Tolbert, he looked
Speaker 1: really good. Uh So, yeah, I guess, I guess I've
Speaker 1: caught more NFL action than I thought. This week again
