1
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: It's ft senior insider Ken Rosenthal.

2
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,120
Speaker 2: Ken, I'd like to actually start with the Phillies and Dodgers,

3
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 2: if you don't mind, because I think it might be

4
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 2: two of the best teams, if not the two best

5
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 2: teams in baseball.

6
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 1: Do you agree, and what do you think this is

7
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 1: going to look like?

8
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 2: With Shoho Tani finally pitching in a postseason game for

9
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:22,799
Speaker 2: the first time.

10
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 3: I agree, Scott.

11
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 4: I think it's going to be an amazing series and

12
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 4: I can't wait to see how it transfer.

13
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 3: It's so interesting on so many levels.

14
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 4: This for the Phillies is not a last dance, but

15
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 4: this corps has some questions going forward, and you look

16
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 4: at the team and the roster the way it sets up.

17
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 4: Schwarper's a free agent after this year. Real Newtow is

18
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 4: a free agent after this year. Both are expected back.

19
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 4: But how many chances does this group get and how

20
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 4: often are.

21
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 3: They going to be able to do it? It's not

22
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 3: a young team necessarily, so that's one element.

23
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 4: The other element, from just a baseball perspective, the Phillies

24
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 4: left these against the Dodgers' big lefties at the top

25
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 4: of the lineup, o Otani and Freeman obviously, and then yes.

26
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 3: Otani pitching the Dodgers' bullpen.

27
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 4: There are so many layers here, there are in every series,

28
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 4: but this one because of the star power with Otani

29
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 4: and Schwarber, because of the environment that we're gonna see

30
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 4: in Philly, which is always great.

31
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 3: It's just gonna be really good, no doubt.

32
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 2: One more on the Dodgers side bullpen question marks heading

33
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 2: into the series. Do you feel like anything was answered

34
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 2: or determined? And of course I need your thoughts on

35
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 2: the wild ride of Roki Sazaki from signing with the

36
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 2: Dodgers in the off season to not really giving them

37
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 2: much during the season to potential closer.

38
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 4: Well, the Sasaki question is sort of answered. It is

39
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 4: not answered in full in my opinion, Scott, but they closed.

40
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 3: With him the other night.

41
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 4: Not a safe situation, but he was the guy who

42
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 4: finished the game. I expect that he could be used

43
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 4: in that role here as well. Now their bullpen is

44
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 4: a serious question. Now they'll have Kershaw available in relief

45
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 4: in this particular series. I would imagine they'll have Glass now,

46
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 4: even though he's pitching Game four, would be scheduled to

47
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 4: pitch Game four.

48
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 3: They can do some things with the bullpen.

49
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:14,119
Speaker 4: But ultimately the guys they have Vesia the others, they're

50
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 4: gonna have to get out and Sosaki is not going

51
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 4: to save the team.

52
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 3: And I'm also not so sure about Sasaki strictly.

53
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 4: From the standpoint of here's this young guy, indis crucible.

54
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 4: Now we saw a young guy in a crucible last

55
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,679
Speaker 4: night do amazing things. I'm talking, of course about Cam Schlitler.

56
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 4: But with Sasaki, it seems like he's a different guy

57
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 4: than he was when he first came up, when he

58
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 4: was sort of nervous, sort of feeling for his spot

59
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 4: and the team and all of that. And now there's

60
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 4: a confidence about him. The stuff is, of course the stuff.

61
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 4: It's really good that confidence translates into performance, at least

62
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 4: it has so far. Will it sustain itself and will

63
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 4: he be able to do that in this series? It's

64
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 4: an intriguing thought for sure. The Dodgers sort of need

65
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 4: it to happen.

66
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 3: I'm just not sure it will hitting on show.

67
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 5: Hey Otani, the starter for Game one is his workload

68
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 5: built up to exactly where the Dodgers wanted to be.

69
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 5: From the outside, it looks like it was perfect. They

70
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 5: slowly worked him in they were doing something that had

71
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 5: never been done, somebody rehabbing Tommy John in the big

72
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 5: leagues while still dhing. But is he worked up to

73
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 5: where they want him to be because you saw Lake,

74
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 5: Snell and Yawamoto both go career high pitches or distances,

75
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 5: and so do they feel like show heyes where they

76
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 5: want him to be?

77
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 4: Eric, I don't know that it's ideal, And I don't

78
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 4: know that he's going eight or nine in any of

79
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 4: these games.

80
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 3: Kenny go six, he has done that, and Kenny go seven.

81
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 4: If he's done six, yes, I would expect if the

82
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 4: pitch count is at a reasonable place. But with him,

83
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 4: there are so many other factors involved, fatigue where you

84
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 4: want him the rest of the series. Now, the reason

85
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 4: he's pitching where he's pitching in this series, and the

86
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 4: reason he was lined up for Game three in the

87
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 4: previous series is because they want him to get a

88
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 4: day off after.

89
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 3: He starts, which makes a ton of sense.

90
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 4: Give him a day off, get his legs back under

91
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 4: him for the offensive part of his game too. But

92
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 4: if you're asking me if he's going nine and doing

93
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 4: to Cam Schlitler even eight innings and one hundred and

94
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 4: seven pitches. I don't know that that's happening, but they

95
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 4: should be able to win without him doing that.

96
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 3: They should be able to handle it. So we'll see

97
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:24,799
Speaker 3: how it all goes.

98
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, this Yankee Blue Jay series is gonna be one

99
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 6: for the record books. I just got a weird feel

100
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 6: and it's gonna come to a lot of one run games.

101
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 6: We know you're there, we know you're talking about it.

102
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 6: Talk about this Yankee team. They're on a real high

103
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 6: right now. Big game yesterday from Schutler, and they got

104
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 6: most likely.

105
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: Louis Hill on the mound tomorrow. What do you think?

106
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 6: How do you think this Blue Jay team stacks up?

107
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 6: We know the regular season is totally different than the postseason.

108
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: Then been there in a long time.

109
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 6: Talk a little bit about that.

110
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 1: Well.

111
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 3: I love the Jays and I love the way they

112
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 3: go about it.

113
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 4: Low strikeouts and actually lower strikeout rate in the major leagues.

114
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 4: They have a number of role players who contribute. Springer

115
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 4: with this amazing comeback of the year story. Bishett is questionable.

116
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 4: John Schneider, the manager, spoke earlier before and he said

117
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 4: they have not made a decision yet.

118
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 3: I'd be surprised if he were on the roster.

119
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 4: Schneider said, if he's going to be on the roster,

120
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 4: he's going to have to play and play regularly. It's

121
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 4: hard to imagine that happening, but they have not ruled

122
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 4: it out yet. Without Bashett, Guerrero has not been quite

123
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 4: the same. I don't know if it's because Bashett is

124
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 4: not hitting behind him or not, but that's going.

125
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 3: To be something for them that is going to be

126
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 3: a huge Factor's Laddie in this series?

127
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 4: John Schneider basically said he just wants Laddie to play free.

128
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 3: Now.

129
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 4: As for the Yankees, it's interesting to me, and Schneider

130
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 4: noted this in his press conference, it's not quite the

131
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 4: same team or it's not quite the same style that

132
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 4: we've seen from them.

133
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 3: Now.

134
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 4: Granted, they hit home runs, they led the majors in

135
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 4: that category, that's what they do. But they've also shown

136
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 4: other ways to score and they've been more resourceful.

137
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 3: They've been a better base running team.

138
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 4: So I expect them to play well because they've played

139
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 4: well for several weeks now.

140
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 3: And yeah, pitching.

141
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 4: Will always be the question and how that bullpen is

142
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 4: going to perform. That's a big question with the Yankees,

143
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 4: and it's going to be that way until I don't know,

144
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 4: they figure out a way to just get consistency out

145
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 4: of that group.

146
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 3: But I'm with you, Todd.

147
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 4: It should be a really interesting series, no doubt.

148
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 6: Hold On, I didn't want to clarify the Blue Jays

149
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 6: were there in twenty twenty three. I said, it's been

150
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 6: a while since they've been there, so.

151
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: Since Yes, though it's been a while. Yes, they kept

152
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: losing the.

153
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 3: Yes, it's been ten years, so yeah, incredible.

154
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 6: So my question to you is basically what the team

155
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 6: you said with the Blue Jays, like, how do you

156
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 6: do you think the hitting is going to be enough

157
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 6: for this team coming through or do you think the

158
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 6: Yankee pitching is going to be there again with their

159
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 6: starting staff?

160
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 4: Well, I do expect the Yankee pitching to be there again,

161
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 4: and freed Rodin and now Schlitler.

162
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 3: You have to like that. The Blue Jays offense.

163
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 4: Is something of a question and they are not this

164
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 4: powerhouse that you might want from them, right. You want

165
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 4: ideally a team that slugs and does everything in the postseason,

166
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 4: But at the same time, they remind me somewhat of Milwaukee.

167
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 4: They're not quite the pressure or putting the pressure on

168
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 4: the same way that Milwaukee does on the basis, but

169
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 4: they're good that way, So yeah, would I like to

170
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 4: see them hit the ball of the ballpark a little

171
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 4: bit more, sure, but that's not generally the way they play,

172
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 4: and they are a team that finds ways and that

173
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 4: is one of the things that's been there defining Mark

174
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 4: this year now. Also in the regular season, the Yankees

175
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 4: played pretty poorly.

176
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: Against the Blue Jays.

177
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 3: Those were those crazy era games and all that stuff.

178
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 4: That was going on. So I expect the Yankees are

179
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 4: gonna have to clean it up because if they give

180
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 4: the Jay's opportunities like that, that will be difficult for them.

181
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 5: Everything's under a microscope, especially what managers do at this time.

182
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 5: Has there been any discussion or if you heard John

183
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 5: Schneider re visit what happened the last time they were

184
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 5: in the playoffs with a bullpen that was ready to

185
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 5: go and he decided to take Barrios out early in

186
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 5: Minnesota and it essentially fell off of it, and I

187
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 5: felt like it was the front office. Has it been

188
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 5: addressed since you guys have been up there and having

189
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 5: these press conferences.

190
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 4: Well, he was asked just in general what he's learned

191
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 4: about managing in the postseason, and basically he said you've

192
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 4: got to read and react and gave the normal answer

193
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 4: you would expect from any manager.

194
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 3: He is well aware of what happened with Barrios. We

195
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 3: all are well aware of it.

196
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 4: I don't know I that there's any need for anyone

197
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 4: to rehash it, so to speak, but I would expect that.

198
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 3: Whoever made that decision, whether it was the front office,

199
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 3: whether it was Schneider, whether it was some combination of both,

200
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 3: they learned their lesson and hey, I wrote about this today.

201
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 4: Managers in these moments, they do things that are questionable.

202
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 4: That's just the nature of the beast, and it's going

203
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 4: to be that way in this series, is going to

204
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,719
Speaker 4: be that way and every series going forward. That's part

205
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,599
Speaker 4: of the this time of year. But often what we

206
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 4: judge is outcome based, and that can go either way.

207
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 4: When the Burrio's decision was made, that reminded me somewhat

208
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 4: of well, what happened in some of these series in

209
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 4: the wildcard rounds, where you could second get it right

210
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 4: away and say what are they doing? I thought with

211
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 4: BeO the other night, I know I wasn't pitching well necessarily,

212
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 4: but I thought.

213
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 3: That was early for Alex Cora. I thought last night

214
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 3: he stuck with Connelly early too long.

215
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 4: These are all debatable things. The managers always have their

216
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 4: reasons for doing things. But I would expect a better

217
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 4: version of the Blue Jays game management than we saw

218
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 4: in that Wildcard series.

219
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 2: Okay, and that's where I want to finish, just if

220
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,959
Speaker 2: you can elaborate more on what you put together last

221
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 2: night about Alex Korra and how that blends into the

222
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 2: way that the Red Sox roster was constructed. Not a

223
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 2: good defensive team. I didn't feel like they were very

224
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 2: intimidating offensively. Obviously they traded Devers Roman Anthony quickly became

225
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 2: a key piece. Do you place a lot of blame

226
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 2: on Core for managing? Did the Red Sox really have

227
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 2: a chance here?

228
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,319
Speaker 4: I don't place a lot of blame necessarily. I thought

229
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 4: he managed add a character for him. He was aggressive

230
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 4: in Game two, that was more in character last night.

231
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 4: Sticking with Early as long as he did that surprised me.

232
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 4: Now he said there was poor defense. There were some

233
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 4: balls that got.

234
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 3: Through, okay, but it was a long time.

235
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 4: He was in there thirty one pitches before he was

236
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 4: removed in a game that must win, it's an elimination game,

237
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 4: and it wasn't the way he managed the night before

238
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 4: with BeO. So it was just different, and that surprised me.

239
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 3: Were they as good as the Yankees?

240
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 4: No, and Scott, the things you mentioned, I believe are

241
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 4: exactly right. Defensively a little short and offensively short as well,

242
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 4: especially without Anthony, So they've got some work to do.

243
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,719
Speaker 4: Gregman's got the opt out. Stories got the opt out.

244
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 4: I don't know this story will opt out, but I

245
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 4: would expect Bregman will, and they're gonna.

246
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 3: Have to find some more offense. Even beyond that, was

247
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 3: this Alex Corus fault that they lost.

248
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: This is a reason.

249
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 4: No, what surprised me, and the reason I wrote what

250
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 4: I did is because it just didn't seem to me

251
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 4: that he demonstrated the normal Alex Kor feel for the

252
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 4: game that we've come so accustomed to see.

253
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, the expectations are high for him.

254
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 2: He's done a great job in games, very often, including

255
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 2: to a World Series title several years ago. Ken, thank you.

256
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 2: We're excited for the broadcast. We'll be watching Blue Jays

257
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 2: and Yankees and you on the sideline.

258
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: Thanks guys, thank you.

259
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 2: That's Ken Rosenthal, that's the inside scoop. Fair Territory is

260
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 2: back on Tuesday. Tuesday, Fair Territory as we adjust with

261
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 2: the postseason schedule, so you can get Ken's thoughts on

262
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 2: the series he's covering and everything else, just like you

263
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 2: did with us on a longer form on Fair Territory

264
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 2: wherever you get your pods
