You agreed to do it? What kind 77 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: of funn it was? You? 78 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 3: Sometimes you have to tell your friends it's a terrible idea, 79 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 3: right when when they're dating the wrong person, when they're 80 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 3: making a bad financial decision, when they're getting the extra 81 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 3: round of shots at one in the morning, and you've 82 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 3: been tailgating since long before the first game started, all 83 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 3: of those things, you have to say, no, no, no. 84 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 2: We can't do this, my friend, we can't do this. 85 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: But instead, what did he do, Mike? He said, yeah, Well, I. 86 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 3: Think for the purpose of the show of something going 87 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 3: off the rails, I don't think it's a terrible idea 88 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 3: in terms of the baseball strategy. 89 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 2: No, no, no, bad, bad, terrible idea. 90 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: Now, speaking on speaking of baseball right to get to 91 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: this again. Dodgers up eight to one in the eight 92 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: one now, top of the seventh inning. They nearly got 93 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: out of the ending with a double play. Uh but 94 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: de la Cruz beats it out to first base. So 95 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: eight one, two outs, Dodgers lead in the top of 96 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: the sea. That's a professional still hustling nothing. Yeah, Johnny hustle, 97 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: Johnny Hussell, think you can bring Tanner Scott in. It's 98 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 1: only seven run lead. Oh yeah, this might be safe. 99 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 1: Eight was okay, but seven yeah, margin changed. Yeah, it 100 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 1: disappears too fast that that would just go just right 101 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: where you Oh he got there. Yeah, okay, it looks 102 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: like he's there. De la Cruz is safe. So eight 103 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: one Dodgers lead the Reds. Uh seventh inning. Now, meanwhile, baseball, 104 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 1: we talked about this for a second. I know it's 105 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: been very difficult because they didn't win a game the 106 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: last three months of the season. But after today, you 107 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: got a reminder why the Tigers are the most dangerous 108 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 1: team in the postseason in baseball. In baseball, yes, you 109 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: get the flips. Everything starts over again. Now, Okay, all 110 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: this awfulness that we've had, we get the team that 111 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: caught us in the standings. Yes, we got to go 112 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 1: on the road, made it difficult for ourselves. But the 113 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: Tigers today reminded you why they are the most dangerous 114 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: team in the playoffs and they're the team I don't 115 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: want to play out of anybody because this Tigers team 116 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 1: during the season, they overachieved during during the first part 117 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: of the season when they were had the best record 118 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: in baseball, everything went right from It's like the same thing. 119 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 1: Tigers and the Mets were the same thing. Everything went 120 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: right for both of those teams. The wheels fell off 121 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: for the Mets, they fell off for the Tigers, but 122 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 1: they were able to keep the wheels on a little 123 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: bit longer than the Mets are just this Tigers team 124 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 1: is not a great team. It's not a team that 125 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: stands out and go wow, look at them, look at 126 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: their lineup, look at their pitching, look at their bullpen, 127 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: all of these things. The Tigers are a team that 128 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 1: is made for the playoffs. And that's the thing about 129 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: Detroit and this is why they're the most dangerous team 130 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: because you get into a playoff series and suddenly, we'll 131 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 1: wait a minute, they play. They have the biggest ace 132 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: in the game. They play defense good enough to get 133 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: a win. Right, Their defensive metrics are right, you know, 134 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: in the top half a major league base'm not going 135 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: to cost themselves. But this is a team that's made 136 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: for the players. They're not made for the regular season. Right. 137 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: You need to mash, You need to put up numbers, 138 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: need to be able to put up bigger performances to 139 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: be able to be a team that dominates all the 140 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: way through. That's not this Tigers team. He saw him 141 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: last year in the playoffs. Boy, the total they're making 142 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: is a million dollars, all twenty four guys of the team, 143 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 1: and not even make it a million dollars. Right, But 144 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 1: that's the Tigers, Right. You got guys like Spencer Torkelsen 145 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: hit and clean up for you. But when you get 146 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: to the playoffs and runs are at a premium and 147 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 1: suddenly being able to execute and play fundamental becomes a 148 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: much bigger deal. This is who the Tigers are. This 149 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: is what they do and when you can try it out. 150 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: Tarik Skoobel, who today again was throwing one hundred miles 151 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: an hour in the seventh inning, didn't matter how many 152 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 1: pitches he threw. Fourteen strikeouts. He said, I emptied the 153 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: tank in the last inning, and then they said we 154 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 1: need you one more inning, okay, And he goes one 155 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 1: more inning and all of a sudden, look at what's happening. 156 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,239 Speaker 1: Now he's able to go one more and have enough, 157 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: turn it over to the bullpen. They close it out. 158 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: They win this game to one. They go for the 159 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: closer tomorrow. The Tigers are the most dangerous team in 160 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: the playoffs because when the playoffs, they are built for 161 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: much more for the plays are for the regular. 162 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 3: Well, vest gets the one and a third innings to 163 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 3: close it out, want to hit one strikeout. But Scuber 164 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 3: was fantastic. One hundred and seven pitches the fourteen k's. 165 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 3: That was just a fun little chess match between he 166 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 3: and Williams. Tough end for him, could only go six 167 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 3: eighty eight pitches before he seeded away. But you know, 168 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 3: it's just the margins, right, small ball fundamentals, all those 169 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 3: things that we talked about last World Series with the Yankees, 170 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 3: and certainly some shades of that over the course of 171 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 3: their season. Once again, as they're on the brink of elimination, 172 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 3: trying to stave off elimination tomorrow, all of that stuff. 173 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 3: But you got another guy in case he miyes fourteen 174 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 3: wins on the year but doesn't go deep into games. 175 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 3: So that's the bullpen is going to need to do 176 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 3: more work than what they got out of Schooll Today. 177 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 3: They're gonna be called upon early and often, I think 178 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 3: to three four innings for a game two. But yeah, 179 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 3: to your point, you had multiple guys that were thirty 180 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 3: home run guys that if you asked when you look 181 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 3: at Torcal Singer, you mentioned in Riley Green, great production 182 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 3: in the middle of the lineup, but guys that are afterthoughts. 183 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 3: I think in the larger national consciousness that they had 184 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 3: that good a season. And so now we look at 185 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 3: this battle. The funny thing of all these wild card 186 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 3: rounds becoming divisional battles, it's been kind of entertaining. It's like, hey, 187 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 3: I thought we got rid of you. Nope, we'll see 188 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 3: in the first round. 189 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: I really you know, you going back to the old 190 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,839 Speaker 1: adage that hey, momentum is your next day starting pitcher, right, 191 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 1: and that's clearly what is with Tarik Schoubl. But when 192 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: you are made for the playoffs, this is great right now. Conversely, 193 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 1: the other hot take I got for you is you 194 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: look at a team like the Padres, Okay, with great bullpen. 195 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: I thought, hey, Padre is gonna show up. This is 196 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: gonna be a big upset. They're gonna wind up beating 197 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: the Cubs. And instead, what we saw today was the 198 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: reason why the Cubs are up one zip, going and 199 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: going in for the closer is because the Padres could 200 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: not manufacture enough runs. And this is the problem with 201 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: the Padres lineup. Right when I said, hey, best bullpen 202 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:26,839 Speaker 1: in the game, it's gonna be great when they turn 203 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: over to their bullpen. But the thing about the Padres 204 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 1: is as good as no good, as good as their 205 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 1: offense is in the playoffs. You gotta be able to 206 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: hit home runs, and they don't hit home runs. They 207 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: were third from the bottom in home runs this year 208 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball. If you can't hit home runs, 209 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: you're not gonna be able to move on to the 210 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 1: play You gotta be there's good when you're squeezing the 211 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: sap out of your bat and the sawdust is out. 212 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: We need something, We need a big hit. You need 213 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 1: to be able to hit home runs. Cubs today two 214 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,319 Speaker 1: home runs, right, Big home runs are getting especially Wrigley 215 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: Field with the wind blowing the way it is, you 216 00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: gotta be able to hit home runs. And the Padres 217 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 1: are just not a big home run hitting team, and 218 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: that kills you in the playoffs, absolutely kills you. 219 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 3: Well, you're also leave a four runners on base, you get, 220 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 3: you get nobody on right. Great job by Boyd and 221 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,559 Speaker 3: the relievers. They didn't exactly give themselves an opportunity to 222 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 3: even try to generate runs. Uh in this game, home 223 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 3: runs aside. Uh, the Cubs pitching staff absolutely. 224 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 2: Own this game. 225 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 3: Win blowing and we saw a couple of home runs 226 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 3: off the Cubs bats for Kelly and Suzuki. But you know, 227 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 3: for for the Padres, Yeah, it's in the margins and 228 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 3: has been this entire season. They're not running away and 229 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 3: hiding from anybody, and it's been the strength of that bullpen, right, 230 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 3: the antithesis of what they have from their division mates, 231 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 3: the Dodgers, all season long. 232 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 2: But that's all Finn of good. All that was was 233 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 2: keeping it from getting any worse today. 234 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: I mean, really, it's it was It was a watching 235 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: that game was just you're seeing, hey, when when you 236 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,719 Speaker 1: can't hit home run, sometimes you need an easy run right, 237 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: not that home runs are easy, but instead of saying, hey, 238 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:07,959 Speaker 1: we got to get a run, we got to get 239 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,839 Speaker 1: a runner on, We got to get them a second, 240 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 1: whether it's a stolen base or a bunt, we gotta 241 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: find some way to do it and manufacture run. Sometimes 242 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 1: you need those easy runs. So it's like getting needing 243 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: an easy bucket in the NBA, needing an easy drive 244 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 1: in the NFL, of hey, you know, we're five plays 245 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,719 Speaker 1: down the field because we took advantage of a couple 246 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: of matchups. Sometimes you need those easy points to grease 247 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: your offense. And there's no easy runs for the Padres 248 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: because they don't hit home runs. 249 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:30,839 Speaker 2: Well. 250 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 3: To that end, you also need to draw a walk 251 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 3: they only had one. Then get them on, get them over, 252 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 3: get him in doesn't exist. 253 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: If you can't get them on, you're not going to 254 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: get them over here, and you're not gonna get him 255 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,719 Speaker 1: in the first ball swinging yeah and get nothing, I mean, 256 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: which is the story of what the Padres were today. 257 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 3: And if you're you've got to be able to manufacture right. 258 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 3: It's a three outcome game, strikeouts, walks, and home runs 259 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 3: generally anyway, and if you're you're getting two of those nothing. 260 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 1: Uh so again that's what's called, you know, two big 261 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,959 Speaker 1: hot takes from the playoffs today. And want to bring 262 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,559 Speaker 1: this to you what's been What just happened between Vegas 263 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: and Indiana in the WNBA semis here again the winner 264 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: goes on to the finals, loser goes home. Indiana of 265 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: course playing without Caitlin Clark and now they're going to 266 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 1: likely navigate the rest of this game without Kelsey Mitchell. 267 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: And it was a really scary moment about five minutes ago. 268 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: Kelsey Mitchell was was trying to take the ball to 269 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 1: the hoop and she was coming off a pick that 270 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 1: was set and foul was called and she stops dribbling 271 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,319 Speaker 1: with the whistle and she nothing happens like it doesn't 272 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,559 Speaker 1: like there was any contact, doesn't look like anything happened. 273 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: She dribbled around the defender and it was the other 274 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: two players who got caught, and they blew the whistle 275 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: and she's standing in the lane and she's got the 276 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: ball in her hands. She takes it, starts trying to 277 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 1: take a couple of steps, and all of a sudden, 278 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 1: she can't really step and she went down on the floor. 279 00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: They brought out towels right away to hold it over her. 280 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: We don't know what happened because we couldn't see. And again, 281 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 1: you know, teammates came out and medical personnel. Then they 282 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 1: brought out the stretcher right away. And this wasn't just 283 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: this is a stretcher like with all kinds of this 284 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: is like a souped up stretcher. This wasn't just, hey, 285 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: here's something to get you off the court. This isn't 286 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: a souped up stretcher. And you couldn't really see what 287 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: was going on. Luckily she was able to leave the court, 288 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: not on the stretcher. She was helped off by two 289 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: Indiana fever personnel. Don't have any any indication on what 290 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,079 Speaker 1: went wrong, but clearly she just dribbled around and stopped 291 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden looked like she was having 292 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 1: trouble putting weight on one of her legs and went 293 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 1: down again. I'm just judging by what we saw over 294 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 1: the course of the past couple of minutes. We'll have 295 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: an update for you as it comes in. But Vegas, 296 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: you know, has taken this last run here these last 297 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: few minutes ago on a little run to go to 298 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, with a six point lead, where Asia 299 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: Wilson in the ACE is looking to get back to 300 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 1: the WNBA finals again just a you know, a season 301 00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 1: for the Fever, which you know, this would be the 302 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: chair on top of the Sunday for them, No Caitlin Clark, 303 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: but still here they are one game away from the finals. 304 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 1: Another player with an MVP type season in Kelsey Mitchell 305 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: who's had a phenomenal year, and to leave the game 306 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: this way at this point, not knowing what happened with 307 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: a scary injury like you're the Fever, you go, man, 308 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: you know, boy, it's glass half empty, glass half full 309 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: season for them. 310 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 3: No, that's it, right, is coming into the year, all 311 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 3: the great expectations, you made some changes, right, new coach, 312 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 3: new new attitude, all of that, changing out a lot 313 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 3: of your personnel and players thinking it was gonna go 314 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 3: through and instead you've had injury after injury and now 315 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 3: this one at a pivotal time when you'd fought back 316 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 3: from a bigger deficit to make it a game late 317 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 3: in the third and now just a waiting word as 318 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 3: to the severity of the injury. This at the end 319 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 3: of the day, which we talked about now we're one 320 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 3: where you have Nafisa Collier lighting up the heads of 321 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 3: the sport. Not that the two are related because this 322 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 3: wasn't a contact, dirty play, any of that kind of stuff, 323 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 3: but it's still just coming off of those conversations about 324 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 3: the league and their care for players, et cetera. Probably 325 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 3: about as bad a timing as you can have. 326 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: Exit ou about a Fresca exit swollen dome. 327 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 5: Again. 328 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 1: We'll bring you more on this when we hear.

Bold prediction I 449 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: gave you in the preseason because Dylan Gabriel. According to 450 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: many sources, we'll start at quarterback for the Cleveland Browns 451 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: this week, replacing Joe Flacco. Now this game is not 452 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,159 Speaker 1: in the United States, so okay, well we're gonna do this. 453 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 7: We're gonna do it. Do it outside the United States. Yeah, 454 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 7: we're doing outside the United Door. Should Dad again, Schadere 455 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 7: is next, shoud Door will be next. But Dylan Gabriel 456 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:30,120 Speaker 7: is here. 457 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: And as I told you, hey, Flaco, the first three 458 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 1: or four games, they started out oh and three to 459 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,640 Speaker 1: oho to four. Then they make the change the next quarterback. 460 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: Now I did say it first was gonna be Kenny Pickett, 461 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: but then they traded Kenny Picketts. I said, okay, everybody 462 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,640 Speaker 1: then moves up one. So with Kenny Pickett gone, Gabriel 463 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 1: moves up to be the next guy. Then after that'll 464 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 1: be Shador Sanders, and then it's gonna be whoever they 465 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,640 Speaker 1: wind up bringing back off their roster at some point, 466 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: you know, fourth and fifth, the Als, five guys. Everything 467 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,719 Speaker 1: is accorded, going go according to plan. Mike Harmon, I 468 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: got Flaco through the first month. I said October first, 469 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,439 Speaker 1: it's gonna be Dylan Gabriel. And here comes Dylan Gabriel 470 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: to start for the Browns. 471 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 2: I'd be curious if they'd actually won that game. 472 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 3: Going back to the opener, you know with the kickers 473 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 3: against the Bengals, if they were two and two. 474 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 2: Would they be making the change. 475 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: Yes, they've gotten thumped twice. Yes, they've gotten. 476 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 3: Worked pretty hard two of those games, one of which 477 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,199 Speaker 3: was also a lot on the offense and their failures 478 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 3: and down distance, et cetera. But they got absolutely run 479 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 3: over by Detroit this week. And it really wasn't even 480 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 3: David Montgomery, who would definitely be doing the running over 481 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 3: more and more Jamiir Gibbs and the excellence of execution. 482 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 3: So you make the change here. Look, a lot of 483 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 3: Shador Sanders talk over the course of the week, Pops 484 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 3: and chimed in about the draft and everything. So that's swirling, 485 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 3: and then Shador saying he's better than a lot of quarterbacks. 486 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 3: Might as well just put it. Put Joe Flacco's name 487 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,400 Speaker 3: out of mouth at that point. Oh sure, I'm better 488 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,640 Speaker 3: than that guy. Yeah's old and he's running scared. 489 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 2: He anymore. He was once elite. Now he's just a guy. 490 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 3: So yeah, for Dylan Gabriel, like they'll run him as 491 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 3: long as is it looks moderately efficient, Like there's no 492 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,160 Speaker 3: rush to the lineup. 493 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 1: No, no, because now that they made the change, the 494 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,439 Speaker 1: two guys you have to see this year now at 495 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: this point, you would think and if you don't, you 496 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 1: know that they they you can get to conspiracy theory 497 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: that the Browns took him in the fifth round just 498 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,640 Speaker 1: a bench him so we didn't play. Uh, the only 499 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 1: two guys you really have to see. Now you gotta 500 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: see Gabriel for a few weeks and you got to 501 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: see you again. 502 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 3: I gotta say that's that he's he's really got to 503 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 3: be coached up this week. And I'm talking about Shuduurh 504 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 3: Sanders uh because it's a Brian floor has defense coming 505 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 3: at you overseas. So Dylan Gabriel is gonna see some 506 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 3: things he's never seen before. And that guy's played a 507 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 3: lot of football. 508 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 1: So on this report, Yahoo, ESPN Cleveland, Mary kay Cabot, 509 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 1: longtime Brown's insider. Now here's the thing you mean the comedian, 510 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yeah, the comedian. Uh, she's gonna be hosting 511 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 1: the Emmys next year. Gabriel be the quarterback however long 512 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 1: he is the quarterback, as you said, Joe Flacco has done. 513 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: Unless something happens to guys that they're going to play 514 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: at some point in the next few weeks. Because like 515 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,199 Speaker 1: I said, you have to see Dylan Gabriel. You have 516 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 1: to see Shador Sanders. I don't think you can say, Okay, 517 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 1: here's Gabriel if he's not if he's not any good, 518 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 1: we'll go back to Joe Flacco. No, they need to 519 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 1: see Shador Sanders. And why wouldn't you right at this point, 520 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 1: this is the season you're in, right, I mean, I 521 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,120 Speaker 1: told you should have traded for a quarterback. Your defense 522 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 1: is good enough, go out and get a quarterback. But 523 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,160 Speaker 1: this is the way they want to go. Whatever they're 524 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 1: tanking for for next year, but it needs to be 525 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,159 Speaker 1: Gabriel for And if Gabriel's great, okay, keeps the job right, 526 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,919 Speaker 1: it keeps Alliver. But if Gabriel falters, you kind of 527 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 1: have to go to Shador Sanders or there will be 528 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 1: a revolt by Browns fans. And you need to see 529 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: him at least a little bit to know that, Okay, 530 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 1: this guy we took. You understood drafting him. You were 531 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: gonna have to play him at some point if they 532 00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: don't play him again. I can get on board with 533 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,360 Speaker 1: that conspiracy theory of Hey, the NFL doesn't want sha 534 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,120 Speaker 1: Door Sanders to play. They don't like him, they don't 535 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 1: like Dion so the Browns took him as a favor 536 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 1: and they're gonna bury him on the death chart. But 537 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: I gotta think the brown I mean, the Browns are 538 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,479 Speaker 1: gonna try to do whatever they can just stay out 539 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 1: a last place. But knowing that this is this is 540 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: your situation, Gabriel, I'm sure is gonna get at least 541 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,479 Speaker 1: five weeks, right. I'm sure he's gonna get to at 542 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: least just past the midway part of the season. Even 543 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: if he's not good. Things have to get really really desperate, 544 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:32,399 Speaker 1: really really bad where the Browns are non competitive to 545 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,680 Speaker 1: get to Shador Sanders. But I also don't see Dylan 546 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 1: Gabriel having that kind of an impact where all of 547 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 1: a sudden he's got to keep the job all the 548 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 1: way through the end of the season. So yeah, I 549 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 1: feel better than ever that it's gonna go Gabriel to 550 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 1: Shador Sanders. And then where do you go, right, because 551 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: are you driving a mystery quarterback Brown's gonna give him 552 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 1: that job or wor they go back to somebody else Again, 553 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: my five guys prediction looks pretty good right now, but 554 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,479 Speaker 1: it's gotta go Gabriel to Chador at some point midway 555 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 1: part of the seat. 556 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 3: It's curiosity, right. Go back to the offseason when Miles 557 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 3: Garrett was I want to be traded, and then they 558 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:08,160 Speaker 3: paid a lot of money. We're gonna win a super Bowl. Okay, cool? 559 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,679 Speaker 3: How does he feel now after four weeks you go 560 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 3: to the rookies. Now Joe Flacco's off to the side 561 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:20,360 Speaker 3: for the moment, and you're you're sitting here at one 562 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 3: in three. He gave away a game back in Week 563 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 3: one against the division rival, and now you're just playing 564 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 3: out the string after four weeks. That's kind of where 565 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 3: you're at at this point already. Well, this is where 566 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 3: you can come back with it. But I'm rich as blank, 567 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 3: you know. But you got Minnesota Pittsburgh, then you got Miami, 568 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 3: New England bye week before they're on the road at 569 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,400 Speaker 3: the Jets. But all of that to say, the offense, 570 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 3: you got a pretty good running back in Judkins. He's 571 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 3: looked pretty good since he's joined the squad. So perhaps 572 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 3: you can get into a little bit of a play 573 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 3: action scenario and find you just lost Tilman for a 574 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 3: couple of weeks, so that certainly doesn't help you. But 575 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 3: you got a couple of tight ends on the roster. 576 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 3: You look at Jerry Judy, perhaps you can start pulling 577 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,400 Speaker 3: the strings a little bit, get to a timing offense 578 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:14,199 Speaker 3: that that works a bit, But it's it's just for 579 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:18,919 Speaker 3: your point and to tie to the Miles Garrett the preseason, like, 580 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 3: all right, have we already thrown the towel on this? 581 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 3: Because for Shudor Sanders, I can only go so far 582 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 3: with the conspiracy theory. Part of it is he just 583 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 3: may not be a guy that's showing you what you 584 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 3: need at practices because you gotta throw him out just beforeah. 585 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 1: But but that's the thing about a quarterback. You don't 586 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 1: really know until you see him play. And if you're 587 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 1: one to ten, you're gonna go to him, right You 588 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 1: got to, because what if he's great all of a sudden, 589 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,160 Speaker 1: WHOA said? You don't know? I get that he delivers 590 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 1: the ball a little late. I get that he's not 591 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,120 Speaker 1: quite there, But you really don't know about a quarterback 592 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 1: until you see him on the field. 593 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 3: I would just love the honest moment with the teammates 594 00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 3: that are working with him. 595 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, but I think there's some team. I 596 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 1: think there's he's probably got some some people on the 597 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 1: team that want to see him play. Curious, let's say, hey, sure, 598 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 1: not not right now, but at some point this season 599 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 1: he has to start a game. When Dion said, we'll 600 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,920 Speaker 1: start to get yeah, I mean again five quarterback guys. Yeah, 601 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: I've got exactly he's gonna start, and he really has 602 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: to because after this year, you're gonna turn the page 603 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:24,200 Speaker 1: on this quarterback situation. Likely you're gonna draft Lenora Sellers. 604 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 1: You're gonna draft Carson Beck, You're gonna draft Arch Manning, 605 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:32,399 Speaker 1: You're gonna draft somebody right right, well, you never know. 606 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,400 Speaker 1: I mean, he may be great the last six weeks 607 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 1: and say I want to be done, but you're gonna 608 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 1: get another quarterback, right you did this whatever you did 609 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 1: in the draft this year, which was ridiculous, but you're 610 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 1: gonna move on. You need to see Schador Sanders go okay, 611 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 1: is everybody good? Everybody good? So we can move on. 612 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 1: Because outside of that, then he hangs over the franchise 613 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 1: of why did we draft this guy? With all the 614 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: talent everything going on. There's no there's no reason why 615 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 1: we drafted him in the fifth round unless we thought 616 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 1: he was going to play right, there was no reason 617 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:02,239 Speaker 1: to draft him at that point because you had your 618 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: court right, you had Flaco drafted Dylan Gabriel in the 619 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 1: third round. Obviously, drafting a guy in the third round 620 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: you think maybe he can start at some point, But 621 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 1: then why do you draft a guy in the fifth 622 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 1: round unless you think at some point he can start 623 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 1: for us? And you know, again, a quarterback, you just 624 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 1: never know until they get out on the field. You 625 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 1: have no idea. So he's gonna play at some pointment 626 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 1: We're gonna get multiple starts from Shador Standers at some 627 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 1: point this season. It's just not gonna be for a 628 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 1: little bit because clearly Dylan Gabriel will get a lot 629 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 1: of run, He'll get a lot of a lot of 630 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 1: chances to show if he can do it, can't do it, 631 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 1: Like this is not gonna be immediate unless something happens 632 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 1: to Dylan Gabriel, uh, and then maybe they go back 633 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 1: to Flacco in the short term and then it's Shad 634 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 1: door standers. But if Dylan Gabriel is healthy and playing, 635 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 1: he's gonna get a while. Like this Sanders thing is like, okay, 636 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 1: he moves up next, but it's still gonna be a 637 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 1: few weeks before it happens. 638 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 3: Week five of the NFL season. That's the most Cleveland 639 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 3: Browns talk. You're gonna get here. 640 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Well guys, man, five 641 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 1: guys are gonna start. No Red, It's right. Had Flaco 642 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 1: till October. Flacco did even make it to October. October's tomorrow. 643 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 1: He didn't even make it to. 644 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 3: Tomorrow, and even get through out of technicality, I made it. 645 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:11,960 Speaker 1: I made it by a day and a whole day 646 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 1: to scamn offstare on this all right, August first, what 647 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 1: are we doing? Hey there? He is okay, great, We're 648 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 1: good to go. We got we got Dylan Gabriel in there. 649 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 2: What a mess? 650 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean really uh and good luck right because 651 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 1: you just you know, you saw it. The Vikings defense 652 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 1: did a couple of weeks ago to to a quarterback 653 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 1: who hadn't played in a while. We're gonna throw him 654 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 1: in there. Good luck, good luck. 655 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 2: Yeah. 656 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 3: I mean he's helped by the fact that the Cleveland 657 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 3: defense should be able to give him decent field position 658 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 3: a bit because you've got a lot of injuries going 659 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 3: on in Minnesota as well. 660 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 1: Do you think in fantasy right now, I could trade 661 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 1: the Vikings defense for Josh Allen.

Twenty two pitches, 690 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:21,720 Speaker 6: one out, no, and now they're bringing in Edgardo Enriquez. 691 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 6: See if they can finish up there. Yoshinobu Yamamoto the 692 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 6: LA starter for Game two against Zach Lttel. If a 693 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 6: game three is necessary on Thursday show, Hey Otani could start. 694 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 6: The Cubs are up one game to none and the 695 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 6: best of three after beating the Padres three to one. 696 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 6: The lost in Nick Pavetta, who did have nine strikeouts 697 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 6: in five innings, but the Cubs hit back to back 698 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 6: homers in the fifth from Seya Suzuki and Carson Kelly, 699 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 6: hitting into the wind at Wrigley. Suzuki has homered in 700 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 6: five straight games. 701 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 1: Now. 702 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,960 Speaker 6: The Padres offense got back to back doubles in the 703 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,960 Speaker 6: second inning, then went two for twenty five the rest 704 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 6: of the game. Boston beat the Yankees three to one 705 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 6: in New York tonight, the Red Sox took the lead 706 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 6: in the seventh on a two run pinch single by 707 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 6: Masataka Yoshita. More on him in a moment. Garrett Crochet 708 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 6: the star on the mound, eleven strikeouts, no walks in 709 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 6: his seven and two third innings. He threw one hundred 710 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 6: and seventeen pitches. The last guy in the postseason to 711 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 6: throw one seventeen or more was Steven Strasburg in twenty nineteen. 712 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 6: The last Red Sox pitch. I think that was the 713 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 6: last pitch he threw in his career. Yeah, and he 714 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 6: was done and his arm fell off. The last Red 715 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 6: Sox pitcher to throw more than that in the postseason 716 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 6: Pedro Martinez in the ill fated Game seven against the 717 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 6: Yankees over twenty years ago. Well, the Red Sox in 718 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 6: the regular season when they were leading going to the 719 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 6: eighth inning seventy one to four. They eventually closed this out. 720 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 6: It was interesting the Yikes did that Basis loaded no 721 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 6: out's bottom of the ninth against Eraaldus Chapman but then 722 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 6: he got strikeout, flyout, strikeout to end it, and Yoshida, 723 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,560 Speaker 6: as the pinch hitter, on the first pitch he ever 724 00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 6: sees in his MLB postseason career, he gets the go 725 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 6: ahead team hit with his team having trailed. That's not 726 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 6: happened before in Major League Baseball, and yet again we 727 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 6: see the Yankees bullpen in action. Luke Weaver takes the loss, 728 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,760 Speaker 6: ruining a great start for Max Freed. Since July first, 729 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,960 Speaker 6: the Yankee bullpen has the worst ERA in the majors 730 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,960 Speaker 6: well over five. Detroit started the day with a two 731 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 6: to one win at Cleveland. Detroit scored two unearned runs. 732 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:28,440 Speaker 6: Cleveland's offense went four for thirty fifteen strikeouts, a lot 733 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,600 Speaker 6: of that by Trek Scoobl, the winning pitcher. Cleveland barely 734 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,359 Speaker 6: got the ball out of the infield. Angels manager Ron 735 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,719 Speaker 6: Washington will not return next season. The Halos are now 736 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,640 Speaker 6: looking for their sixth manager in the last nine years. 737 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 6: Cardinals manager Olie marmaul will return. The sale of the 738 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 6: Tampa Bay Rays was finalized. The Minnesota Wild signed left 739 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 6: winger Careel Caprisov to a record eight year extension worth 740 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,400 Speaker 6: one hundred and thirty six million dollars, and we're about 741 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,439 Speaker 6: to decide who's going to the WNBA Finals. It's Game 742 00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:01,240 Speaker 6: five of the best of five semis Indian at Las Vegas, 743 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,319 Speaker 6: tied at eighty four under thirty seconds to go, and 744 00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,760 Speaker 6: as you mentioned, Kelsey Mitchell of the Indiana Fever left 745 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:11,280 Speaker 6: with a kind of scary looking either knee or quad entry. 746 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,799 Speaker 6: She said no to the stretcher and was able to 747 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:17,279 Speaker 6: limp off with help. She's not returning tonight to say 748 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:18,120 Speaker 6: the lease back to you. 749 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,680 Speaker 1: Thank you, Steve.

You're not gonna believe 754 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 1: what one NFL head coach said about the tush push 755 00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,800 Speaker 1: going into this weekend. That's next right here, Jason and 756 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:42,920 Speaker 1: Mike Fox Sports Radio. 757 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,240 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith 758 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,359 Speaker 2: Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven 759 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:52,919 Speaker 2: pm Pacific. 760 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show with My best 761 00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:01,600 Speaker 1: friend Mike Harmon. Uh Dodd, your bullpen getting involved in 762 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,000 Speaker 1: this game, and I mean involved all of a sudden. 763 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,040 Speaker 1: A ten to two Dodger lead has turned into a 764 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,840 Speaker 1: ten to five Dodger lead over the Reds. Top of 765 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:15,000 Speaker 1: the eighth inning. The Reds have the bases loaded and 766 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,200 Speaker 1: one out. They have been rallying off the Dodgers' bullpen. 767 00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:23,360 Speaker 1: Fifty pitches now from the Dodger bullpen, and the Reds 768 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,880 Speaker 1: are right back in or on the cusp of getting 769 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,000 Speaker 1: right back in. This one hit would do it again. 770 00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,880 Speaker 1: Bases loaded, one out, now a ten to five game. 771 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,840 Speaker 1: This is the top eighth inning. Tanner Scott is not 772 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,600 Speaker 1: pitching this game so far. Now Yees not pitched, not yet. 773 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 3: Too two count Stevenson fights one off, one out, and 774 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:44,600 Speaker 3: Dryer on the mound. 775 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,360 Speaker 1: Man, I'll tell you this is high drama. 776 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,040 Speaker 3: They just did about a three minute montage of fans 777 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,080 Speaker 3: with their hands over their their heads, going, my god, 778 00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:53,840 Speaker 3: what am I watching? 779 00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,919 Speaker 1: Fred Ryer? It is fred Ryer at TJ. Clearly he's 780 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:02,880 Speaker 1: the hunter in this situation. TJ. Meanwhile, talk about high drama. 781 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:07,239 Speaker 1: Game five of the WNBA Semis between the Aces and 782 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:12,480 Speaker 1: the Fever is going to overtime. Ju Lloyd misses a 783 00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,680 Speaker 1: tip shot. At the end, Jackie Young missed a layup 784 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:19,160 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden we go to overtime. The 785 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:23,080 Speaker 1: Fever without Caitlin Clark, without Kelsey Mitchell could pull off 786 00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,440 Speaker 1: this monumental upset. But I'll tell you this, You and 787 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,680 Speaker 1: I talked about it a few minutes ago. The number 788 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 1: of bunnies, the number of layups that are missed in 789 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:34,359 Speaker 1: WNBA games is absolutely staggering. 790 00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 2: We had the easy space created and. 791 00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,879 Speaker 1: Just missed it too hard off the glass, missing off 792 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,200 Speaker 1: the glass. So again, we'll have more on both of 793 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:45,640 Speaker 1: these games coming up in a few minutes. 794 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,439 Speaker 3: But because that's the other thing they need to fix 795 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,480 Speaker 3: in THEABA, yeah. 796 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:53,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, fix that too. But earlier today NFL, we got 797 00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,839 Speaker 1: a great quote from Broncos head coach Sean Payton as 798 00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,720 Speaker 1: the Broncos getting set to face the Eagles this weekend, 799 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:01,960 Speaker 1: and of course he's going to get asked about the 800 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:06,000 Speaker 1: toush push, and Sean Payton says, I love the touch push. 801 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:07,960 Speaker 1: Wait what here he was earlier today? 802 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:13,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, listen, I was one that stood up in favor 803 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,880 Speaker 5: of the reason I stood up in favor of is 804 00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:20,799 Speaker 5: is pretty simple. If if the powers to be don't 805 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:25,920 Speaker 5: want it for aesthetic reasons or competitive reason, you know, 806 00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,160 Speaker 5: or it's hard to officiate, et cetera. 807 00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,080 Speaker 2: But I've been. 808 00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:33,440 Speaker 5: Involved in those meetings for a long time, and when 809 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:35,680 Speaker 5: all of a sudden, health and safety was pulled into 810 00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:39,960 Speaker 5: that which which might be the safest playing football, there. 811 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,840 Speaker 1: It was it might be the safest play in football. Right. So, 812 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:46,200 Speaker 1: Sean Payton a big proponent of the Toush push. 813 00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,239 Speaker 3: I wanted to see what the next sentence was because 814 00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,640 Speaker 3: I've got the transcript to see if it was bleeded out. 815 00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:55,680 Speaker 1: Its So but here's the here's the big part of 816 00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:58,840 Speaker 1: this thing with Sean Payton the Toush push, is that 817 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,920 Speaker 1: the Eagles did the best thing they possibly could do 818 00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,959 Speaker 1: this past weekend. Right, line up for the Toush push 819 00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:09,120 Speaker 1: a couple of times and run a misdirection play off it. Right, 820 00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,399 Speaker 1: you had a pitch play, You had a play where 821 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,879 Speaker 1: they went outside and they didn't run the Toush push. 822 00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,960 Speaker 1: They lined up for it and they didn't run it. Now, 823 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:21,520 Speaker 1: look it's a fade a complete. They're gonna push the narrative, 824 00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:23,520 Speaker 1: the Tush push haters are gonna push a narrative. Hey, 825 00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,120 Speaker 1: you can't officiate the play. You see what the officials say. 826 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,920 Speaker 1: It'll get banned in the offseason. But the Eagles aren't 827 00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,240 Speaker 1: gonna go gently into that good night, and they shouldn't 828 00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,600 Speaker 1: by by running plays. By lining up and not running it, 829 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,759 Speaker 1: this potentially could extend the life of the tush which 830 00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:39,880 Speaker 1: we don't always have to run it they line up like, 831 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,799 Speaker 1: which is probably something they should have done earlier. But 832 00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,080 Speaker 1: now they do this. Now teams are gonna say, maybe 833 00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,280 Speaker 1: this play becomes more unsompable because they did it twice 834 00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:49,360 Speaker 1: last week resulted in two touchdowns. Right, Like, the Eagles 835 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,520 Speaker 1: have now taken this situation and amped it up a level. 836 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:56,000 Speaker 1: Smartest thing they could have done is doing the misdirection 837 00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:57,440 Speaker 1: plays this past weekend for touchdown. 838 00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,120 Speaker 3: I hope it doesn't get out lawed, Like I know 839 00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:02,080 Speaker 3: we talked about it when Dean Blandino chimed in and 840 00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:05,000 Speaker 3: talked about officiating it. And certainly, you know, we can 841 00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,319 Speaker 3: always do the well you get the ISO and the 842 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,520 Speaker 3: overhead camera look at this guy's off to the race, 843 00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,400 Speaker 3: and we could do that with every snap, right, we 844 00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:15,120 Speaker 3: could call holding on every play, like, there's so much 845 00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,040 Speaker 3: we can do so to isolate this and the fact 846 00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:21,759 Speaker 3: that they've run it so often and so effectively, I 847 00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:25,120 Speaker 3: get the angst of it. But those two plays, yeah, 848 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,719 Speaker 3: oh that was fun, smartest, a great theater to be like, 849 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:32,800 Speaker 3: oh what now? Side show ba My favorite, my favorite 850 00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:34,960 Speaker 3: part of the week was them doing that because that hey, 851 00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:36,640 Speaker 3: we want to try to keep doing this. 852 00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,440 Speaker 1: This is what we're gonna do. That was so smart. 853 00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:40,800 Speaker 2: Surprise Sirianni and don't go find a camera? 854 00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:42,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, how do you like that exit out?
