1 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,280 Speaker 1: It's Scotty Brown, Eric Kratz, and Kevin Pullar. We're going 2 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,399 Speaker 1: to first talk about the Cubs and Brewers, and then 3 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 1: we will get to the Phillies and the Dodgers and Gratz. 4 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 1: You used to play for this Milwaukee team and actually 5 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: had a nice little run during a time period where 6 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,599 Speaker 1: they thought maybe they could make the World Series. Very 7 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 1: strong start for this team. They take down the Cubs again. 8 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,960 Speaker 1: They've scored sixteen runs in their first two games, and 9 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: now they're one went away from another National League Championship 10 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 1: Series appearance. Your thoughts on what you're seeing so far. 11 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 2: The problem that the Brewers had going into the playoffs 12 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:37,919 Speaker 2: was it didn't hit enough homers. 13 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 3: Screw that. 14 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 2: They took care of that tonight. They're doing it every 15 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 2: which way. And then they're like, ah, you know what, 16 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 2: we had five days off. We're gonna go ahead and 17 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,560 Speaker 2: do an open wait in the bullpen gate Wait a minute, 18 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 2: no miss is gonna pitch all the things that you 19 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 2: would think the teams that get the brakes wouldn't do, 20 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 2: and they did it, and let's go brew crew. 21 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 3: Yeah. 22 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: And we were texting KP you know, Kratz and AJ 23 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: and me about the decision by Milwaukee to go with 24 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 1: Ashby as the opener he had pitched in Game one, 25 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: and to let him try and feast against the top 26 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: of the order for the Cubs. Cubs countered. Cubs got 27 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: three runs off the Brewers in the first, just like 28 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: in Game one. They were able to strike first, but 29 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: it didn't go far. They didn't score the rest of 30 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:28,839 Speaker 1: the damn game. 31 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 4: They knew what they were doing. But I mean, it's 32 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 4: obviously to kind of just at least appear that I 33 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 4: left he's going to go multiple winnings and try to 34 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 4: set their lineup in the bench out. I mean, it's 35 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 4: kind of the new way of kind of doing it. 36 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 4: Especially when teams are kind of built off platoons, you've 37 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 4: got to kind of try to counter that in any 38 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 4: way possible. 39 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: Okay, So first off, I want to talk about Jackson Cheerio. 40 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: He is battling a hamstring issue. He does not look 41 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: on Kevin. It helps when you can hit dingers at 42 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: twenty one years old and then you don't have to 43 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 1: worry as much about doing crazy things on the base paths. 44 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: What are you seeing from him in the first couple games. 45 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, just hit dingers and stay healthy obviously, then being 46 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 4: able to close out the series as soon as possible 47 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 4: for his health is going to be the most beneficial them. 48 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 4: Obviously going out and scoring a ton of runs and 49 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 4: at some point they're going to have to make a 50 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 4: business decision, and you know, hopefully they have a big 51 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,639 Speaker 4: enough lead and they can sub them out on defense 52 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 4: or if he's able to get on base and bringing 53 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 4: a pinch runner. But the great thing about being twenty 54 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 4: one is some of those things he a little bit quicker, 55 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 4: So hopefully it's very mild, and youth is on his side. 56 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 4: So off to a good start, you know, off day, 57 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 4: you know, hopefully they can, for his sake and for 58 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 4: their team's sake, they can close it out as soon 59 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 4: as possible and just give them as much rest as 60 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 4: humanly possible. 61 00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: So that was the three run homer, and that took 62 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 1: this to a seven to three game from the four 63 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: to three lead that the Brewers had. What'd you think 64 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: of that sequence there, Kratz? There was one oh one 65 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:11,959 Speaker 1: point four, which, according to Sarah Langx is the hardest 66 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: pitch to hit for a home run in the postseason 67 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: since they started pitch tracking in what was it two 68 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: thousand and eight, I think she said, or maybe stack 69 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: cast I think she meant pitch tracking. But but anyway, 70 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: I mean plenty of challenged him. I think with three 71 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: pitches that were over the middle quadrant and third one, 72 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, this is one of the best young 73 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: hitters in the sport. Stop challenging like that. 74 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 2: I mean, you have to challenge him. To me, you 75 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 2: have to challenge him. You can't come in plentcy. You 76 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 2: can't come in and be like, yeah, I wonder how 77 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 2: I'm gonna get him out now. If they're like, hey, 78 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 2: you know what, we gotta throw that banger down in 79 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 2: his zone or something. But for him to be able 80 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 2: to get on top of that ball where it was, 81 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 2: I think it was a little out of the zone. 82 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 2: If not, it was top of the zone and we'll 83 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 2: put it out the center field at twenty one, while 84 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 2: KP said, this dude is going to heal up quickly, 85 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 2: like he's doing stuff at twenty one that you're not 86 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 2: supposed to be able to do. I just pulled up 87 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 2: his postseason numbers. He's hitting five seventy one in his 88 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,799 Speaker 2: two postseasons. He's got fifteen playing appearances, eight hits, two dangers, 89 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 2: a double and he's struck out one time. He's twenty one. 90 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 2: I mean, what are we looking at? Are we looking 91 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 2: at Andrew Jones? 92 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 3: Here? 93 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 2: Is this what we're looking at? Just reborn? Hopefully his 94 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 2: hamstring is fine. They put they brought Lockridge in. I 95 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,479 Speaker 2: think Murph is very aware that he's dealing with something. 96 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 2: But he was able to go to the line and 97 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 2: track that ball that can kind of be tough sometimes 98 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 2: because it comes back and make that catch in foul territory. 99 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 2: Lockridge can come in, pinch, run and come in for defense. 100 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 3: For him, he is getting it right now. KP. 101 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 1: Did you ever face him Anaga? 102 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 3: Yeah? 103 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 4: I did I face him last year? I faced him 104 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 4: last year. Yeah, he's obviously they they're in the same division, 105 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,919 Speaker 4: you know. Me facing them for the first time, it 106 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 4: was the first at bat was obviously the most challenging. 107 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 4: It's not elite stuff. It's it's very good command. There 108 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 4: is some carry to the fastball, there's some deception to 109 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 4: the split finger, but that's a challenge when you get 110 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 4: lined up with a team in your division. Like there's 111 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 4: no real secrets anymore. Like he doesn't necessarily have the 112 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 4: ability to outstuff you. You know, he's so relying on command, 113 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 4: there's no secrets anymore. And if he's not going to 114 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 4: command his pitches, you know the opposing team is going 115 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,919 Speaker 4: to take advantage of you know, what he has to offer. 116 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, that was my thing Kratz is he's given him 117 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,720 Speaker 1: so many home runs for a few months now. Second 118 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: half of the season, he gave up by far the 119 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 1: most home runs in baseball. I believe twenty two was 120 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: the number they were showing. The next highest was like 121 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 1: maybe sixteen or seventeen. So did you notice anything Kratz 122 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: that's leading to these issues consistently for him lately? I 123 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: mean every start he's given up at least a homer. 124 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,279 Speaker 1: And then when you're taking on what's one of the 125 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: best offenses in baseball, you turned them into not just 126 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: a contact hitting team, but now a power hitting team. 127 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 2: I saw a thing or perceive velocity at the plate, 128 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 2: meaning what it looks like to the hitter. Ever since 129 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 2: he came back from the IL, I forget when it 130 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 2: was early in the season, the life on his fastball 131 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 2: just doesn't seem like it's there. 132 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 3: Is it the league getting used to him? 133 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 2: Is the league what kp was saying like it's kind 134 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 2: of awkward because it comes from a low slot. I 135 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 2: remember watching him last year, and I remember when we 136 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 2: first came into the league, guys were talking about possibly 137 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 2: like a long relief type of guy, and other guys 138 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 2: were saying, this guy could be a number two in 139 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 2: your rotation. He made the All Star team, came on 140 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 2: the show, had a great first year, and I don't 141 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 2: think he ever came back from his injury fully one hundred. 142 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 2: In the sense that when you don't have and this 143 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 2: is I guess why everybody chases velocity. You don't have 144 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 2: the elite velocity, and you don't have some kind of 145 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 2: like freakish talent where you're stepping closer, you're throwing from higher, 146 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 2: it's tougher to get away with mistakes, especially when your 147 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 2: ball is flat. And then boys start tee and off 148 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 2: they start, they start getting on top of balls and 149 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 2: they're not found them straight back, and then you're able 150 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 2: to get to something else to strike them out. And 151 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 2: that's what it seemed like in the second half we 152 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 2: were seeing from him FT fam. 153 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: Let's talk about Superpower. Eric Kratz is a proud Superpower customer, 154 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: and he's going to give us more of the personal experience. 155 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: But I'll just start it with this. You ever go 156 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: to the doctor and the docs just like, oh, drink 157 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: more water.

Right, I 181 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: think they're the best team to do that in the 182 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,959 Speaker 1: National League. Maybe I would say these days, right, the 183 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: Rays have gotten a lot of credit on the Dodgers 184 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: is a good point, that's true, but it's hard to 185 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: find playing time with them. With Milwaukee, they actually needed 186 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,079 Speaker 1: him in July and he came up big, and he's 187 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: still coming up big. He played great defensively too, But 188 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: what was that a seven pitch ab and then gets 189 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:22,959 Speaker 1: that that cutter I'm looking at it again right now 190 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: that kind of hung across the middle of the plate 191 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: and hit the three run jack. 192 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 4: I just I just love what Merv kind of said 193 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 4: about him, because I think it's just a great thing 194 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 4: for people to understand, whether you're minor league player, your 195 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 4: fringe major leaguer even younger than that, like this game 196 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 4: is going to humble you at some point. I mean, 197 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 4: this kid was the what second or third overall pick 198 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 4: got off to a pretty good start in his career. 199 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 4: You know, was really never super challenged in Chicago in 200 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 4: terms of guys coming up to kind of take his position. 201 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 4: You know, we had some bad years and finally they 202 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 4: said we had enough with him, and he went to 203 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 4: the minor leagues. And he could have you know, packed 204 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 4: it in, he could have cast it in. He continued 205 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,479 Speaker 4: to work, he continued to develop, he made some mechanical 206 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 4: and some mental changes, and he ultimately got his opportunity 207 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:16,199 Speaker 4: through an injury. And sometimes you just need that good fortune, 208 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 4: You need that opportunity, you need a break, and he 209 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 4: not only got that opportunity but ran with it. And 210 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 4: you know, he's been a big part of their success 211 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 4: since he's been up. You know, he's been able to 212 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:28,959 Speaker 4: not only hit in the middle of the lineup and 213 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 4: and bring some power and some stability. He plays great 214 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 4: first base too. 215 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 2: I played with von soon after he got drafted with 216 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 2: Team USA, and the very Quiet Guy came on the 217 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 2: show with us earlier. Quiet Guy. So it's not like 218 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,679 Speaker 2: this guy's like all of a sudden going to Milwaukee 219 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 2: and there's a secret sauce that Milwaukee has compared to 220 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 2: the White Sox. But from what I've heard because I've 221 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 2: only been in the Milwaukee organization, in that clubhouse and 222 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 2: talking to those the front office. They let you be you, 223 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 2: but they let you be you as a winning player. 224 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 2: Some places are like, hey, I just want to let 225 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 2: my players be who they are. 226 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 3: And you get nothing out of them. 227 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 2: But they let you be you as long as you 228 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 2: buy into the fact that, you know what, you might 229 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 2: only be here for a little while until Reese Hoskins 230 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 2: comes back, but we're going to give you every opportunity. 231 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 2: Here's what we think you can do. Go out and 232 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 2: do it your way. I mean, the dude became King 233 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 2: Vaughn in Milwaukee, like this is a this is a 234 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:41,079 Speaker 2: very quiet person who has a lot of potential, has 235 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 2: a lot of power. But with the White SOPs, it 236 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 2: was never like he was never really challenged to dig 237 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 2: deep into his power. It was like, hey, you got 238 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 2: to elite back to ball skills, Okay, go out and 239 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 2: do that baseball thing. And it was just a bad 240 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 2: environment because you see so many guys now from those 241 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 2: white SOPs teams that are playing for these playoff teams, 242 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 2: pitchers Andrew Vaughn like relievers, starters. 243 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 3: It's crazy. 244 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean sometimes some of these some of these 245 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:17,319 Speaker 4: players like the Andrew Bonds, the Gavin Chets, like you know, analytically, 246 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 4: they they have a lot to offer, like they have 247 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 4: a certain skill set, but maybe one of their greatest 248 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,439 Speaker 4: attributes is they're just winning baseball players. And when you're 249 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 4: not in a winning environment, like your best version of 250 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,439 Speaker 4: yourself cannot come out. I feel very similar to that, 251 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 4: Like my greatest qualities that's helping a team win. Like, individually, 252 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 4: my skills are just okay. You know, if you put 253 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 4: me on a bad team, I'm just an average player. 254 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 4: But if you put me on a good team, I'm 255 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,679 Speaker 4: elevated because my skill set is elevated. When I'm in 256 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 4: a winning culture, I do the little things to help 257 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 4: you win games that you know, allow you to be 258 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 4: your best version yourself. And I think that's what you're 259 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 4: seeing with Andrew Vaughn. 260 00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 3: Yeah. 261 00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 2: How about the fact that you have young guys on 262 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 2: the Brewers team too that can be who they are 263 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 2: and it's hey, you know what, you have success even 264 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 2: when you have failures. Pat Murphyl'd call you out. No 265 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 2: better example than the miss this Roski comes in, maybe 266 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 2: not even maybe not even a shoe in for the roster. 267 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 2: To be on this NLDS roster, you need guys that 268 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,680 Speaker 2: are going to be able to give you length or 269 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 2: shut the game down in one inning. He wasn't throwing strikes. 270 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 2: He was kind of he was kind of disconnected from 271 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 2: his role. Am I a starter? 272 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 4: No? 273 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 2: They tried him in the bullpen. It didn't go very 274 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 2: well at the end of the year. And you need 275 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 2: guys that throw strikes. The Miz comes in in this 276 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 2: game and gives the Brewers. If they didn't need another weapon, 277 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 2: it gives them another weapon. Maybe this was Miss's game, 278 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 2: but it's something that KP You've seen it. If there's 279 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 2: a if there's a reliever or even a bolt guy 280 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 2: that comes in the game late and is not throwing strikes, 281 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,679 Speaker 2: big league hitters just feast on it. They just say, 282 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 2: you know what, I'm not swinging. And I think for 283 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 2: me the bat that swung it for the Miz and 284 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 2: he had a walk after this, but it was the 285 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,079 Speaker 2: Dansby Swanson at bat Dansby Swanson, I think there was 286 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 2: one out and Dansby came up and it was kind 287 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 2: of like he spraying some balls all over the place 288 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 2: and then Dansby came up and he went strike one, 289 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 2: strike two, and Dansby was like, come on, bro, like 290 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 2: you're supposed to be a four balls before three guy, 291 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 2: and there's I saw it. 292 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 3: Shift. I saw it shift. 293 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, there's no better way sometimes to just get back 294 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 4: into a game, even if it's lopsided, you know, much 295 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 4: like the game that I was doing in Toronto the 296 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 4: other day, Like it was eleven nothing or thirteen nothing, 297 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 4: but they kind of went to that, you know, other 298 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 4: part of their bullpen to just kind of get out 299 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 4: and eat up innings. And the Yankees ended up scoring 300 00:14:58,360 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 4: seven runs in that game, and some of it came 301 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 4: out off a walk. But it was also sometimes as 302 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 4: a player, when nothing is going right collectively or individually, 303 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 4: you just need one little thing to build your confidence. 304 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 4: And sometimes even when a guy like the Miz comes 305 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 4: in and doesn't throw strikes and you can just reach 306 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 4: first base, there's kind of this sigh of relief. Everything 307 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 4: is so magnified in a playoff game. So if he 308 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 4: comes in and doesn't do what he's supposed to do 309 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 4: and he's just sprang the ball over the place, and 310 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 4: even if they go out and win this game, like 311 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 4: there is confidence that could be built from all these hitters, 312 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 4: you know, to take into Game three. 313 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: Dude showed us some one oh four and change. I mean, 314 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: come on, three shutout innings, a hit, four punchies, yes, 315 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: two walks, twelve pitches that were clocked at one oh 316 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: two plus. I mean that is fun. And if you're 317 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: a more casual baseball fan and you tune in for that, 318 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: you're like, Okay, I see, UMLB, these guys are ridiculous. 319 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: He's a big dude. He took the league by storm 320 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 1: and then went through a lot of adversity, like krat said, 321 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: and look at it now. He looks like he could 322 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: be a big weapon for the Brew crew if he 323 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: can continue to find the strike zone enough the effectively 324 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 1: wild fastball. So let's finish with this Kratz. You first, 325 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: do the Cubs have a chance? Saya Suzuki showed some 326 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: life for the team first inning? Big What was that 327 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: four dred and forty foot home run off a change 328 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: up middle up, and you're like, okay, maybe the Cubs 329 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 1: are going to show up with some power here. That's 330 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: where they should have an advantage. They should be able 331 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: to keep up with this team. Defensively. I think that 332 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: there is definitely a clear cut difference in pitching that 333 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 1: we've been seeing the first couple games. But the Cubs 334 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: come back if what. 335 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker carries this team and say it stays hot, 336 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 2: say it was, say it is like you you have 337 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 2: to get exactly what say it did tonight. I think 338 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 2: he had five homers in his last four games going 339 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 2: into the postseason. Then he went six homers in the 340 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 2: last five games after he hit that first that homer 341 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 2: in the Wild Card. Like, he's kind of been hot, 342 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 2: he's been hitting dangers, but you need Kyle Tucker. Sorry, 343 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 2: it's a lot to put on a it's been out, 344 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 2: but you need Kyle Tucker. 345 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 1: Kp any chance the Cubs come back. 346 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 4: Not from what I had seen, but they do have 347 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 4: Kyle Tucker. It's one of the best players in the world. 348 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 4: He's good enough to kind of win games on his own. 349 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,719 Speaker 4: And obviously kind of going back home, if Wriglely can 350 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 4: kind of create this environment that the Cubs need to 351 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 4: go out and score. They need to not let the 352 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,479 Speaker 4: Brewers score. They need to score first, and then they 353 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,439 Speaker 4: also need to put up another zero and then just 354 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:34,199 Speaker 4: kind of allow this energy, which you knows Wrigley is 355 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,719 Speaker 4: going to be rocking to kind of just potentially carry 356 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 4: them to a victory. And then I always say, when 357 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 4: you're up to nothing in a series, when you're the 358 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 4: team that's up, you got to put the team away. 359 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 4: Because all the pressure is obviously on the Cubs to 360 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 4: go out and win. If they don't win, their season's over. 361 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 4: The Cubs win, I think that pressure kind of gets 362 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 4: pushed back on Milwaukee a little bit because the last 363 00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 4: thing you want to do is go to a Game 364 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 4: five because anything, and so you know, if you're the Brewers, 365 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,120 Speaker 4: you've got to kind of have this step on their 366 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 4: neck mentality. And obviously the Cubs are going to be 367 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 4: playing with, you know, desperation, but I think they need 368 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 4: to score first. They need to put up a zero 369 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,120 Speaker 4: after that, and then they need to let that home 370 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 4: field advantage kind of take over. 371 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see if the power shows up for the 372 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: Cubs that regularly. The problem is right now, I mean, 373 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: the Brewers are showing us power that does not represent 374 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 1: a team that ranked twenty second in the league in 375 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 1: that category. And I would imagine Quinn Priesters lined up 376 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: for Game three for the Brewers, and you. 377 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,200 Speaker 3: Can over what Locke he gets done. 378 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 4: He doesn't ever lose, does he no? 379 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 2: Nineteen straight going into the end of the season. Now 380 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 2: he doesn't win all of them himself. 381 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 4: The boys lose them, he doesn't lose them. 382 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 3: He doesn't lose W's. 383 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 1: They said, bullpen game today and then we want Priester 384 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: for Game three and it might work out beautifully for them. 385 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: If not, then okay, we could have ourselves a series. 386 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 1: I mean, they thought that Brent Woodriff would be their 387 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,679 Speaker 1: Game two starter, and he's not around at least for 388 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,919 Speaker 1: this round. We'll keep an eye on him, but we 389 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: will get to the Phillies and the Dodgers series. We're 390 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: going to find out who the Brewers are going to face. 391 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 1: We might have ourselves the twenty eighteen LCS rematch. We'll 392 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: swing right back and talk about that one ft fam. 393 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,919 Speaker 1: Another reason why you should love Arena Club is the 394 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,679 Speaker 1: grading system. So you recently pulled a slap pack and 395 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 1: then you said, hey, it's not great. Great it for me? 396 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: They gave you an eight point five out of ten 397 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: on your auto whitey Ford card, and then they show 398 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 1: you all the details of the grading system. It's very 399 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 1: interactive within the app, and then you're done. If you 400 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,439 Speaker 1: want to sell the card or you want to know 401 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: what it's worth, you've got it. 402 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 5: It's like getting taken a school on cards. And I 403 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 5: think that's the coolest part of it. If you're young 404 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,400 Speaker 5: or old, you understand, Hey, this is how it gets 405 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 5: deciphered all the way through. It shows you the numbers 406 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 5: and how they went through it. I think that's the 407 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 5: coolest part about this whole thing. And then you can 408 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 5: keep it traded or sell it or whatever you want. 409 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,640 Speaker 1: And it's so much more efficient to do this through 410 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,439 Speaker 1: Arena Club.

Let's recap 417 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 1: what we've seen so far in the first two games 418 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 1: of the Dodgers and the Phillies in Philadelphia. That home 419 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: field advantage best home record in baseball this year, and 420 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 1: if you listened to us on Foul Territory on Monday 421 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 1: afternoon before the game, you would have thought, well, that 422 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 1: actually doesn't mean shit, And it didn't if the Phillies 423 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: lost both games. Kratz, you live in the area. They're 424 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: booing the Duran entrance music, not at him. They're just 425 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: pissed off that they are seeing this from their team 426 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 1: and that they've lost five of their last six games 427 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: at the bank. Bedlam at the Bank is not a 428 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,400 Speaker 1: thing right now. The offense is not showing up for them. 429 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,399 Speaker 1: We can come up with all kinds of other excuses, 430 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 1: but they're not putting up big numbers at home offensively 431 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: against a very good pitching team in these first two 432 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 1: games for Philadelphia. And let's also give credit to the 433 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: Dodgers for playing a really good game. 434 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say, before we before we get 435 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 2: too hard on the on the Phillies. The Dodgers did 436 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 2: throw the absolute snot out of the ball. But I 437 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 2: see exactly what I saw part in parts of the season. 438 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,360 Speaker 2: It's a team that for some reason does not hit 439 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:25,239 Speaker 2: starting pitching very well. Yes they can, because they are 440 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 2: a very power packed lineup and they have a bunch 441 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 2: of veteran hitters, but for some reason together as a unit, 442 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:35,439 Speaker 2: don't consistently hit starting pitching very well. And you're running 443 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 2: into the best starting pitching in the playoffs right now. 444 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 2: Have they been the best all season? Absolutely not, because 445 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 2: most of them haven't even been healthy all season. But 446 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 2: they I mean Blake Snell back to back outings. Last 447 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 2: time he faced him during the regular season, they had 448 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:57,679 Speaker 2: twelve punches. Tonight he was he was doing whatever he wanted. 449 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 2: Lozardo was also doing whatever he wanted. But we're talking 450 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 2: about the offense. The top of the order has to 451 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 2: come through. And they found a little kink, they found 452 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 2: a little opening, and they left the door open a crack, 453 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 2: and the offense did exactly what they do. They beat 454 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 2: up the bullpen. They didn't beat up m and Shehan 455 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 2: not a bullpen guy as a starter. But as soon 456 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 2: as they got to trying, and as soon as they 457 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 2: were allowed to face trying, they had him. They had him, 458 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 2: and they had him on the ropes. They had Vesia 459 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,120 Speaker 2: on the ropes, and they weren't able to finish it out. 460 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 1: Did you see did you like the bunt call? 461 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 4: There? 462 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 1: KP for Bryson Stott and then the wheel play that 463 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: just was executed perfectly for the Dodgers to get the 464 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: out with the lead runner. 465 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you got to do whatever you came 466 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 4: in that situation to get the guy to third base. 467 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 4: Teams don't teams don't like practice the wheel play all 468 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 4: that offense. I mean, it would be I heard Max 469 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 4: Munsey talking about kind of the conversation that the three 470 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,199 Speaker 4: infielders were having about that they the pitching change and 471 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 4: kind of okate it, but it was kind of spearheaded 472 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 4: for Mookie, who obviously just has an unbelievable baseball IQ, 473 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 4: you know, and the willingness to want to run that play. 474 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 4: But I would love to know the last time they 475 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 4: actually practiced that play. I mean, it had to have 476 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,119 Speaker 4: been in spring training, you know. I doubt the three 477 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,640 Speaker 4: of those guys, the combination of those guys have been 478 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 4: out on a field at any point in time since 479 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:28,919 Speaker 4: spring training running the wheel play, and they did it 480 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:33,360 Speaker 4: to perfection. So credit to them, you know, you could. 481 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 4: I'm a big believer too, and no offense to a 482 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 4: lot of pictures though, But if I'm bunting there, I'm 483 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 4: trying to put the ball in the hands of the 484 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 4: pitcher as opposed to a fielder. But bunning is not easy. 485 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 4: Bunning is one of the hardest things to do in baseball. 486 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 4: Like at some point you've got to just kind of 487 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 4: pat yourself on the back that you get a bunt down. 488 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 4: But just a really well done play by the Dodgers. 489 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, and yet Doc Roberts, the Dodgers manager, said they 490 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:04,120 Speaker 1: really do it. Mookie called for it. That's a shortstop 491 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: captain ish kind of guy on the team, just making 492 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: the right call at the right time when they had 493 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 1: a little time to go over things. And the Dodgers 494 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: pull off a win just enough. I mean, yes, there 495 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 1: was trouble for trying in, but then he goes to 496 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: Bessie and then Doc, you know, pulls the ultimate wild 497 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 1: card in the postseason. So far, pitching wise, I don't 498 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 1: think anybody one month ago, not like six or three, 499 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 1: four months ago, whatever, I think one month ago, if 500 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 1: I told most people that Roki Sazaki is going to 501 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: be a nails closer for the Dodgers, you'd be like, huh, who, 502 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 1: I don't even remember him? 503 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:35,880 Speaker 3: What happened to him? 504 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:37,359 Speaker 4: How about this saying if he was gonna be on 505 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,479 Speaker 4: the roster or not that would have already been a 506 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 4: little bit of a stretch. 507 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 3: You know. 508 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,639 Speaker 4: Was he just going to you know, stay in triple A? 509 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 4: Was he going to be like one of those guys 510 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 4: that you know, go in that stay ready camp. But 511 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 4: now this guy's got back to back saves in playoff games. 512 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 4: It's it's crazy, It really is unbelievable. It's just you know, 513 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 4: some organizations just to you know, do things a little 514 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 4: bit better. Like, you know, maybe they maybe this was 515 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 4: always a contingency plan that they saw on this guy, 516 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 4: that we're going to give hi an opportunity to start 517 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 4: because you know, or maybe that was the way they 518 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 4: felt like they could get him in the doors, like yeah, 519 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 4: we'll allow you to start. And ultimately it didn't go 520 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 4: so well. He had to go, you know, through some 521 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 4: injuries kind of build himself back up. But maybe ultimately 522 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 4: they knew all along this guy was going to be 523 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 4: in the lead closer. 524 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 1: Kratz, question for you about the star power for the Phillies, 525 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: because of course that's the number one issue right now, 526 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 1: and I understand that it's really good pitching coming at them. 527 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 1: Two for twenty one, four walks, eleven strikeouts, for Trey Turner, 528 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 1: Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper, are they seeing any pitches 529 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,679 Speaker 1: that they can do damage with or even just you 530 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 1: know move, you know, move themselves into a good position 531 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,359 Speaker 1: to let somebody else do damage. Right, Like I'm looking 532 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 1: back for the Harper at bat where he had a 533 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 1: big strikeout, and I think there was one pitch that 534 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: was in the strike zone and there were no fastballs, 535 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,400 Speaker 1: and it was just really nicely executed on the pitching side. 536 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,360 Speaker 1: But like, you know, give me the Harper perspective here 537 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: does he need to and he's got a great eye 538 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 1: spit at those pitches and just passed the baton. What 539 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: are you see in here? 540 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 2: I mean against Blake Snell, I don't I don't feel 541 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 2: like he chased out of the zone too bad. I 542 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 2: think he chased one pitch out of his own. But 543 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 2: strike three was yeah, his swinging Strike three was a 544 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 2: slider that even when they slowed it down. If you've 545 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 2: never faced Blake Snell, or you've never caught Blake Snell, 546 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 2: it is almost impossible to see that pitch. Because Harper 547 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 2: does Harper does what Harper does in the playoffs. He 548 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 2: does an incredible job of staying on pitches, and I'm like, 549 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 2: I don't think he's he's not seeing that slider because 550 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 2: he everybody remember what he did to Robert Suarez that 551 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 2: opposite field Homer that created bedlam at the bank, Like 552 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 2: that's how you hit that slider, and he's trying to 553 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 2: do that and he still couldn't do it. Maybe maybe 554 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,160 Speaker 2: this is my homerism. Maybe I need to go back 555 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 2: and watch. 556 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 3: More of this. 557 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:12,160 Speaker 2: But I really feel like, besides the fastball in that 558 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 2: Schwarber missed, I forget, I think I forget who was pitching, 559 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 2: but it was a fastball in that he foul tipped, 560 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 2: I don't feel like guys were really like they were 561 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 2: giving them any chances to hit anything to do damage with. 562 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,400 Speaker 2: Like it wasn't like ooh, we had that one. They 563 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:35,879 Speaker 2: all look late confused and like searching for what is 564 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 2: the next pitch. 565 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: That was eighth inning, by the way, with she and 566 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: against Schwarber, and that was ninety eight tipped into the 567 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,919 Speaker 1: glove to get him. That was when we had the 568 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: long ish delay with the PitchCom I don't know if 569 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: I believe that it wasn't working, but whatever, and Schwerberg's 570 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 1: just waiting, and then eventually they got him. 571 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,199 Speaker 2: I thought they were going to go I thought they 572 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 2: were gonna go to Vessia. I thought it was going 573 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 2: to be some kind of conspiracy thing there, Like I thought, oh, hey. 574 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 3: You know, we're gonna come out here. 575 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 2: We're gonna talk about it PitchCom, because we want Vessia 576 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 2: to face to face Harper. You got Schwarber clearly, but 577 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 2: we're gonna have Vessia face Harper. And it was like 578 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,639 Speaker 2: delay delay, and then you saw the bullpen and Vessia, 579 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,919 Speaker 2: who's always looks like he's beamed up, he's just throwing, throwing, throwing, 580 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,640 Speaker 2: and then they left him in there, left him in there, 581 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 2: didn't didn't take him out. So I think the PitchCom 582 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 2: actually didn't work. And we're coming out with a new 583 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 2: foul territory, pitch Com, and it's gonna solve all PitchCom problems. 584 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 4: I'll take for you right now. I think we can 585 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 4: make an argument that the Phillies lineup one to nine 586 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 4: is much better than the Blue Jays lineup in Brewer's lineup? 587 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 4: Would you agree? Through more talented, more dangerous. I do believe. 588 00:28:58,800 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 3: I do believe it. 589 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 4: I'm not there is just a hot take. I'm not 590 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 4: in that. I've never been in that clubhouse with Philly, 591 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 4: but I've had the conversations with the Blue Jays, and 592 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 4: you were obviously with the Milwaukee Brewers. I think those 593 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 4: teams have a much better collective approach where I feel 594 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 4: like the Phillies are so much more reliant on individual 595 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 4: talent that they feel like at some point just the 596 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 4: talent is gonna take over, and they're good enough to 597 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 4: not really like have this past the baton mentality, or hey, 598 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 4: we're gonna eliminate this pitch, We're gonna wear them out. 599 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 4: Because these two teams that you know, don't hit a 600 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 4: ton of home runs that aren't filled one through nine 601 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 4: with you know, high octane offensive players are going out 602 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 4: and scoring a ton of runs. So I think there's 603 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 4: also this way that you play in the regular season 604 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 4: that definitely changes when you get into the postseason. I 605 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 4: think those two teams have an advantage right now because 606 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 4: I think they've been playing postseason baseball for the entirety 607 00:29:59,680 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 4: of this. 608 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, is it that KP coupled with some guys that 609 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: clearly are getting game planned and it's working right? I mean, 610 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 1: we can say oh, they're running into maybe the best 611 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 1: team in baseball, and the Dodgers should have been a 612 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 1: you know, a buy team, right and not been facing 613 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 1: the Phillies in this spot. Whatever you can try and 614 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 1: make excuses, you're gonna have to run through a team 615 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 1: like this either way. And it's been some disappointing seasons 616 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 1: for a Philly team. 617 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 3: That you're right. 618 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 1: You look at on paper and you're like, this team 619 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: should be better, but look at the numbers the last 620 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 1: couple of postseasons for Trey Turner, Kyle Schwarber. I mean, 621 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 1: they're they're bad, and clearly pitchers have a game plan 622 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 1: and it's working, right, yeah, I mean work in the 623 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 1: regular but it's working in the playoffs. 624 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 4: You can't put all the blame on the Phillies hitters, 625 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 4: and you know their approach and their hitting coach and 626 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 4: whatever it is. You know, sometimes you just got to 627 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 4: give credit where credits due, and like Crouds knows, like 628 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 4: you're going to go into every individual game with game 629 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 4: plans of how to get guys out, but that obviously 630 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 4: is magnified so much more in the playoffs. You're always 631 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 4: pitching to guys' weaknesses. It's just a matter if your 632 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 4: pitchers can execute it. And it just seems like at 633 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 4: this point the Dodgers have been able to execute their 634 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 4: game plan against the middle of the order, or actually 635 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 4: the entirety of the order of the Phillies, and sometimes, 636 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 4: like I said, it's not so much about you know 637 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 4: what we are doing, and sometimes you just have to 638 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,719 Speaker 4: keep your cap and just say, like they've just been 639 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 4: better than us, and you hope in game three, whoever, 640 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 4: I don't know who's due to start in Game three 641 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 4: for the Dodgers, but you just hope that there's just 642 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 4: a couple more mistakes where these guys could capitalize on. 643 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 1: Dude yama Moto Game three coming up against Aaron Nola, 644 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 1: who looked better lately, but he's had a really rough 645 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 1: season and Ranger Suarez is going to back him up. 646 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 1: So things definitely do not look promising when it's Yamamoto 647 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 1: game three. This is the gauntlet they have to go 648 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 1: through right now, Kratz, And you tell me if there's 649 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 1: any freaking sliver of a chance for them, they have 650 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 1: to go through yama Moto. Then they have to take 651 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 1: down Tyler Glass now, and then they will face show 652 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 1: Hey Otani in game five, and I get I mean, 653 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 1: if you get to a game five against Otani and 654 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 1: you've got your big boy in Sanchez back on the mound, 655 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,239 Speaker 1: sure you've got a chance. But do you think they 656 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 1: can take them down in three in a row. 657 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 2: I think they can because those guys haven't been hot. 658 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 3: You can't. 659 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 2: You can never tell me, and I guess I'll be 660 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 2: I guess I'll be wrong if it just continues this 661 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 2: way for the rest of history. But there's not a playoff. 662 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 2: A player doesn't become worse than the playoff playoffs, you 663 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 2: don't turn into a pumpkin. To me, you're gonna have 664 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 2: to regress back to what they do. Kyle Schwarber has 665 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 2: had some massive home runs in the playoffs. He can 666 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 2: carry a team for a three to seven game stretch. 667 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 2: Bryce Harper has been I mean, I think he still 668 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 2: has over a thousand. 669 00:32:55,480 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 3: Ops in the playoffs. He can get hot. Is is it? 670 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 2: Are they up against it right now? Absolutely, they're up 671 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 2: against it, But this lineup has the ability. 672 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 3: To do it. 673 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 2: Look, Nick Costianis was one of their best hitters. He 674 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 2: had a massive hit tonight. When you have veterans in 675 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,719 Speaker 2: there and your back's against the wall, there's not a panic. 676 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 2: Maybe now that's the little spark that they need. Maybe 677 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 2: that maybe Shover finds something in the off day, swinging 678 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 2: off of the breaking ball machine, maybe they get you know, 679 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,040 Speaker 2: it's they have the guys to do it. Do they 680 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 2: have a sliver of hope. I think it's more than 681 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 2: a sliver of hope. Do they have to change what 682 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 2: they've been doing? Yeah, somebody has to step up and 683 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:40,040 Speaker 2: get a big hit. 684 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's tough to see it for me, KP. With 685 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 1: the way that the Dodgers have this pitching rolling right now, 686 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: the offense is in a pretty good spot against a 687 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,880 Speaker 1: really good Philadelphia pitching staff. By the way, I mean, 688 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 1: Christopher Sanchez is going to finish second in NLSI Young 689 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 1: Jesus Lozzardo for most of the game put on a 690 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 1: show tonight. But even for the I mean they're not 691 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 1: perfect defensively to asker Hernandez's rollercoaster ride, but I want 692 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 1: to make sure the finish line here we shout out 693 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:10,440 Speaker 1: Freddie Freeman made a sick pick. Otherwise that games still rolling. 694 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean to cross his points. I definitely like 695 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,680 Speaker 4: the Phillies' chances a lot more than I like the 696 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 4: Cubs chances because he said, these guys don't these guys 697 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 4: don't turn into pumpkins in the playoffs, like if this 698 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,360 Speaker 4: was their first time going through the playoffs, because the 699 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 4: playoffs can be overwhelming, Like the moment gets bigger, the 700 00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:36,759 Speaker 4: anxiety goes through the roof. You know you're getting you're 701 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 4: not getting a chance to nesta league game plan against 702 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,399 Speaker 4: a starter who's gonna go. You know you're gonna see 703 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,399 Speaker 4: him a third time, maybe not even a second time. 704 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,359 Speaker 4: But these guys have a track record of being very 705 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 4: successful hitters in the postseason. Like you mentioned, the Dodgers 706 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,360 Speaker 4: pitching staff is just rolling right now. I think this 707 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 4: is nothing that we didn't expect to happen for the Dodgers. 708 00:34:56,680 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 4: I think we knew inevitably if everyone's healthy once they 709 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 4: got into the postseason. This is kind of what you 710 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,279 Speaker 4: expected to see from the Dodgers. But I wouldn't count 711 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 4: them out because of what krat said, Like they just 712 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,720 Speaker 4: have too much talent and they have too many guys 713 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,239 Speaker 4: that individually can just put a team on their back. 714 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, I whole hardly agree with that. I think the 715 00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:20,839 Speaker 1: Phillies do have a better chance. I just I don't 716 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 1: see it for either side. Yeah, I could see the 717 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:27,440 Speaker 1: Phillies taking a game. Maybe they crack Yamamoto, But what 718 00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:27,919 Speaker 1: do you got? 719 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:32,719 Speaker 2: And Scott, you said the Dodgers' offense is rolling. They've 720 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 2: scored him two innings for a Dodgers offense, that is awesome. 721 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:43,120 Speaker 2: The Phillies starting rotation and pretty much eight of the 722 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,000 Speaker 2: nine innings they have I don't feel like the Dodgers 723 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,160 Speaker 2: offense is like rolling, rolling, But the Dodgers have done 724 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,400 Speaker 2: the same thing. They kind of struggled sometimes against starters, 725 00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,239 Speaker 2: same thing as the Phillies, and then the bullpen comes 726 00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,800 Speaker 2: in and there's a guy they're like, no, no, yes, 727 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,800 Speaker 2: we got something than on him, Yes we see him. Well, 728 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:07,560 Speaker 2: yes this is our guy. And both both games they 729 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:09,719 Speaker 2: scored all their runs in the seventh inning, nine runs 730 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 2: in the seventh. 731 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,439 Speaker 4: You said the quiet thing out loud. I was, That's 732 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,040 Speaker 4: what I was thinking. I was hearing that, Like, both 733 00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:18,839 Speaker 4: these teams typically have trouble hitting, starting pitching, but there's 734 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,399 Speaker 4: guys in the bullpen they get to. Does that make 735 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:25,080 Speaker 4: you believe that they may have things on the bullpen 736 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:26,719 Speaker 4: guys that they can't get on starters. 737 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:32,279 Speaker 2: Maybe maybe or or they're able to eliminate pitches. They're 738 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,239 Speaker 2: able to eliminate pitches. I mean that to me, that's 739 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,920 Speaker 2: that's better than any tell Like if you're like this 740 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,840 Speaker 2: guy is a two pitch guy. He never throws his 741 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,120 Speaker 2: breaking ball for a strike or anything in. I think 742 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:46,760 Speaker 2: the Dodgers do a great job of eliminating zones. Starting 743 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,040 Speaker 2: pitchers are good at all four quadrants. When a Matt 744 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:54,360 Speaker 2: Strom comes in, he's probably only going to run that 745 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:58,239 Speaker 2: slider in off. Say guys, hey, when that slider, when 746 00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,279 Speaker 2: anything starts in, we're taking it down. And this is 747 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,920 Speaker 2: what KP's talking about. Good team at bats. You you 748 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,719 Speaker 2: strike out looking at a fastball in against Strom, if 749 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,759 Speaker 2: that's their game plan, and you know what, we tip 750 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,399 Speaker 2: our cap. We move on and then when he makes 751 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,000 Speaker 2: a mistake, anything out over, we're smashing it. We're on 752 00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:18,359 Speaker 2: time for it, whatever it is. 753 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's a fair point. Typically starters have 754 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,480 Speaker 4: a much you know, bigger arsenal pitches be able to 755 00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 4: use the entirety of the plate. And when you do 756 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 4: get to those bullpen guys, even if they have a 757 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,879 Speaker 4: third pitch, like you are gonna eliminate one, you're gonna 758 00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,279 Speaker 4: turn them into two pitch guy, but ultimately you're going 759 00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 4: to turn him to a one side of the plate guy. 760 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,520 Speaker 4: So I think there's some truth to that, more so 761 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,560 Speaker 4: than getting into this kind of going down this rabbit 762 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,439 Speaker 4: hole of always thinking that you know, a pitcher gives 763 00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:49,040 Speaker 4: up runs or you know, gives up a home run, 764 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,040 Speaker 4: he's tipping. I think it could come down to this, 765 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,080 Speaker 4: you know, game planning too. 766 00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:56,160 Speaker 1: And the buggaboo for the Dodgers still is there. I mean, 767 00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,600 Speaker 1: they're traditional relievers right now, are not in a good spot. 768 00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,719 Speaker 1: This is nothing like what they imagined. They thought, you know, 769 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,160 Speaker 1: Kirby Yates and Tanner Scott and trying in right and 770 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:07,480 Speaker 1: tryning was the problem child in this particular game. I mean, 771 00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,120 Speaker 1: the highlights for them are Glass Night out of the bullpen. 772 00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,239 Speaker 1: Shean in this game, out of the bullpen, former start 773 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:15,920 Speaker 1: rookie Sazaki. I mean, they're throwing starters out of the 774 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,239 Speaker 1: bullpen to try and win games, and that has worked 775 00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,080 Speaker 1: for some teams in the past, so I'll give them credit. 776 00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,840 Speaker 1: And then last shout out for me, of course, Doc Roberts, 777 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,719 Speaker 1: who's super super battle tested, gets to push the Will 778 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,759 Speaker 1: Smith button in the seventh inning where he would never 779 00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:30,719 Speaker 1: be up in that spot, and you have, like, what 780 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,319 Speaker 1: a top three hitting catcher in baseball who gets to 781 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,560 Speaker 1: step in with the first pitch, line drive, two run 782 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,400 Speaker 1: single and that made it three to nothing. So prohaps 783 00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:39,920 Speaker 1: to this team. They've got a lot of talent. They're 784 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,640 Speaker 1: in a really good spot. If you've got thoughts on 785 00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,520 Speaker 1: this series, then drop them in the comments let us know. 786 00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,480 Speaker 1: We'll talk about it more on foul Territory throughout the week. 787 00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,239 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for watching, and we have ft 788 00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,920 Speaker 1: still every day one o'clock Eastern time.
