1
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: Ay ay. So this show always starts with a little music.

2
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: I have music news. I got a lot of news

3
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: on who's performing. It just came in in the last

4
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: like hour or two. For MLB one, we already knew,

5
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: but you want to hear some.

6
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 2: Names for what world?

7
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: Like Game one and two.

8
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:24,639
Speaker 2: See, I don't know anything about it.

9
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 1: I'll give it to you ready, their names, you know?

10
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: Game one anthem got a Canadian No, I don't know

11
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: if these people are Canadian or not. To be honest,

12
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: maybe somebody can look that up on the fly as

13
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 1: we talk about it. Game one Pharrell, he's been all

14
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: over all the postseason and stuff, so you know, doing

15
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: the ads. You've seen him on. So he's part of

16
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: some deal that they have with them. So that's solid.

17
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 1: It's a good start, right. We like Forrell.

18
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 2: Oh caned Parrell's and Americans are just look what else?

19
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: Game two bb Rexa for the American anthem. I'm a fan.

20
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 2: She's good.

21
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: And then Alessia Kara for the Canadian anthem. She's also excellent.

22
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: What about Alessia is Alessia Canadian? I'm curious because she's

23
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: doing the Canadian anthem. She is really good, very talented,

24
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: you would know your songs. I'm not going to attempt

25
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: good Patriot boom, there you go. And lastly, I think

26
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: it's mid game. Maybe they're doing a song. It's part

27
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: of the stand up to cancer that MLB does a

28
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 1: really nice job with. Jonas Brothers.

29
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 2: Nice. Well, I know one of them. I think they're

30
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 2: Jersey if.

31
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,839
Speaker 1: Oh they're so Jersey Jonas Bros. Yeah, yeah, very very.

32
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 2: Have to look that one up. I know.

33
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: I think one of them still lives in North Jersey. Yes,

34
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: I know the one you're talking about. Yeah, I know

35
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: him as well. Yes, there you go.

36
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 2: Pretty cool. No, no, no, Pennsylvania guys singer.

37
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: No, the Phillies didn't make it to the World Series unfortunately.

38
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 3: You know what's fun about the Anthem? That's the one

39
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 3: song they always played before I didn't play good.

40
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 2: Isn't that something? Why would they always keep playing that.

41
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: Song now again and again. You'd have a bad day

42
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: and be like, can we skip it just for superstitious purposes?

43
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: And they were like no, no, no no.

44
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 3: When they're playing the Anthem, I'm like, I might have

45
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 3: a good game, but every time they played the Anthem

46
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 3: didn't have a good game.

47
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I remember that one time in Puerto Rico it

48
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 4: was raining, so they went and didn't play it, and

49
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 4: you started felt like Tony Gwynn, didn't you.

50
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, you just get scared, you know when you hear

51
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 1: your country's anthem. All right, anyway, it's Friday, as you

52
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: can tell, but we're super excited. It's World Series Game

53
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: one day. The World Series begins this evening, and we

54
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: are going to have a post game show. We'll give

55
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: you a little more info. It's very simple though. If

56
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: you are watching the game, or even if you're not,

57
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,399
Speaker 1: you tune in to YouTube very soon after the game,

58
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 1: sometimes on a minute after. Sometimes it's a close game,

59
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: we wait a few minutes. You watch the postgame interview

60
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: on the field with Kenny Ballgame, Rosen Dollar, Tome Berducci,

61
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: and then we're on live discussing what happens after game one.

62
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: So we'll see you for it, and in case you

63
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: fall asleep or something, we're still there for you on

64
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: demand on YouTube with that postgame show. Let us charge.

65
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: I like this quote to start us off, Blake Snell

66
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: Game one starter. Hey, Blake, what's your approach against Laddie

67
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: Junior and George Springer?

68
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 2: His quote.

69
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: I can tell you in like a week.

70
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 2: It's a great quote. It is.

71
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 4: He's no idea, or if I was him, I would

72
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 4: have said the exact opposite, would you know? Yeah, fastball

73
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 4: is right down the plate. They can't hit a fastball

74
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 4: center cut. I've seen it for years now. I've seen

75
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 4: it for so many years, those two guys especially.

76
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: It's the weirdest thing.

77
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 4: Just forcing fastballs on ninety four ninety six right down

78
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 4: the plate.

79
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 2: That's what I'm gonna do, and keep a straight.

80
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 3: Faith bold move Cotton. See how it works out for you.

81
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 3: I love it. I love it.

82
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 5: Why not?

83
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 3: We got guys at second base like flapping their wings

84
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 3: and making circles. Why can't pictures, Why can't pictures come back?

85
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 3: But I'll tell you what they are gonna do to George.

86
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 3: You're gonna see that slider that has been absolutely filthy

87
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 3: for Blake, and you're gonna see change ups and everything

88
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 3: else is gonna be out of his zone because George

89
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 3: hits lefty curveballs like nobody's business. So and obviously he's

90
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 3: gonna be a hit a heater. But Blake knows what

91
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 3: he's gonna do. He's and if he forgets. He's got

92
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 3: it in his pocket and.

93
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 2: He's gonna look at it, oh yeah, exactly.

94
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 3: In between pitches and then he'll hit the button on

95
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 3: his hip and then he'll go and throw it.

96
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 4: He's been nasty, yeah, And I think to your point

97
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 4: kind of to like finish it off, I don't think

98
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 4: he needs to change just because who's up to the plate. Honestly,

99
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 4: this guy, whatever he's been doing, whatever signs they've been

100
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 4: putting down, they've been synchronized, they've been in sync.

101
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 2: And just because whoever's up, all of.

102
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 4: A sudden, you want to change your approach to what

103
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 4: you've been throwing and how nasty you are. Okay, if

104
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 4: they get one or two out, then maybe change it up.

105
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 4: But the way he's been pitching, you know, whatever sequence

106
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 4: he wants to throw us to, righties, don't even worry

107
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 4: about the name. Worry about what you can control, and

108
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 4: that's throwing your best pitch at that particular time. And

109
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 4: he has been doing it this whole playoff.

110
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. Let's talk rosters to go ahead, crats, and

111
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: then I'll say.

112
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 3: You definitely just got it. Basically, Blake's just gonna look

113
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 3: at it and go dude, this is this is a

114
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 3: hot there's a hot zone. I'm gonna stay out of

115
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 3: that hot zone unless it's like that is my Like

116
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 3: if somebody's hammering change ups and he's like, that's my

117
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 3: best pitch, I don't really care. But there's glaring there's

118
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 3: glaring areas that Blake Snell can go to. But you're

119
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 3: exactly right, Todd. Do you want to stay with your strengths.

120
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: Also, the Dodgers are down one of their shirt goal

121
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: of trust relievers. It's a tough story. We don't have

122
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: a lot of information, but Alex Vessia is not currently

123
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 1: on the roster. There were reports yesterday that maybe he

124
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: would be put on the family medical emergency or a

125
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: breaevement list something like that. So the Dodgers shared that

126
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: he's away from the team and he and his wife

127
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: Kayla are navigating a deeply personal family matter. So first off,

128
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 1: most importantly, hope you know everything's okay and thinking about them,

129
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: there's more than just baseball on the field. We do

130
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: cover the sport. Though Alex Vessier is one of their

131
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,799
Speaker 1: best relievers. Maybe he pops up later in the series

132
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: if they figure that out. But we know for sure,

133
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 1: he's not pitching in Game one, that is one of

134
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: their better relievers.

135
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:47,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely.

136
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 4: And forget about sports, anything that deals with family, with

137
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 4: deals with friends, anything that you hear with a heavy heart,

138
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 4: that kind of takes it toll a little bit understanding that.

139
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 2: Listen, this takes precedents of everything.

140
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 4: Forget about a World series ring family over everything, and

141
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 4: we hope everything's okay. We will say prayers and all

142
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 4: that stuff, well wishes, and again we don't know the

143
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 4: full story. But again, baseball does not come first when

144
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 4: it comes to family.

145
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: Let's take you through the Arena Club slab pack experience.

146
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,239
Speaker 1: This is part two because todd father last week pulled

147
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: a card that he didn't love, yet he sold it

148
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: back for actually more than what the slab pack cost.

149
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: This time pulls a card that he likes.

150
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, and this is the best part of it. Ronnie Mauricio,

151
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 4: the Mets stand out. You know, rookie sensation. He's been

152
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 4: absolutely phenomenal. I like the itch of seeing what you're

153
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 4: gonna get, you know, I like prospects. I don't love him,

154
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 4: but seeing this kind of card is actually absolutely beautiful thing.

155
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 4: I know a couple people around town that would absolutely

156
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 4: love that card. So there's gonna be a lot of

157
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 4: conversations going on here for Arena Club.

158
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: And what you do is you have it in your

159
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: digital showroom. If you want to hand it out locally,

160
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: then cool. You ask Arena Club to send it to

161
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: you and they do, or you can sell it back

162
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: like you see their instant offer for one hundred and

163
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: ninety three bucks. But he's keeping it. And you can

164
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: do what Todd Father does by going to Arena club

165
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: dot com slash foul and getting twenty percent off your

166
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: first card purchase or your first slab pack purchase.

167
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 2: So krats.

168
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: As far as strategy concerns, Let's say Blake Snell isn't

169
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: superhuman and gives you more of a five ish because

170
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: the pitch count rides up or whatever. Right, I mean,

171
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: that's more common. I mean Blake's been stupid good. But

172
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: if that's the case, I mean, this definitely hurts for

173
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. This is the one week spot where the

174
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: Blue Jays could pounce.

175
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 3: I mean they have two like real relievers that have

176
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,839
Speaker 3: pitched only as relievers in Vessia and Trina, and that

177
00:08:54,440 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 3: I think Dave Roberts really really trusts. I wouldn't be

178
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 3: surprised if you give, you know, you give like a

179
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 3: short leash to a Clayton Kershall if there is, you know,

180
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 3: if there's a little bit of a hiccup for Blake

181
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 3: Snow and you wouldn't expect that based on how he's

182
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 3: been pitching. But so the World Series is, there's a

183
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 3: lot going on. The Blue Jays are a good team,

184
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 3: that's why they're there, and losing Vessia is it's a

185
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 3: big it's a big loss. But I'm glad. I'm glad

186
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 3: the organization and him are able to say, you know what,

187
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 3: I'm gonna step away and take care of this.

188
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: So Vessia is off for now. Ben Casparius is not on.

189
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: I mean, we haven't seen him much. He was a

190
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,599
Speaker 1: big deal last year, but we haven't seen him. I

191
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: don't know if you pitched at all. I know he's

192
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: on the roster, but I don't remember if you pitched

193
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 1: at all. I don't think so in the postseason. Maybe

194
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: in the wildcard rounds, I don't remember, but I don't

195
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: think so.

196
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,839
Speaker 3: Actually, I feel like I saw him warming up one time,

197
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,719
Speaker 3: but it wouldn't have been in the wild It might

198
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 3: have been in a wildcard round. Now I feel like

199
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,319
Speaker 3: it was in Milwaukee. Was he active in Milwaukee?

200
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was active, I think, okay.

201
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 3: Thinking about seeing him in the bullpen in Milwaukee's but

202
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 3: it's jogging my memory. But I don't think he got

203
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 3: in a game.

204
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: No Tanner Scott, which is still crazy when you think

205
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: about how the world really erupted the jealous world when

206
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: they were like, oh, they get Tanner Scott and Kirby

207
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: Yates and they are completely uninvolved in the postseason. So

208
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: that continues. But the right handers activated or Will Klein

209
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: and Edgardo Henriquez who has good stuff but did not

210
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: have it in that wild card game. Remember again Cincinnati.

211
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: He was one of the guys where you're like.

212
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 2: Uh uh and he just couldn't find it. Yep.

213
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 3: Part of that like sixty whatever, sixty three pitch inning that.

214
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, they had a big lead, but you

215
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 3: saw like, oh boy, Dave Robinson was like, all right,

216
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 3: we got to go to somebody else. So hey, you

217
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 3: might get another shot. I doubt it in a close game, but.

218
00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's not like the Dodgers don't have options

219
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 1: and Emma che can go multiple innings. We'll see how

220
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 1: Blake Trining looks. But he's in the circle of trust

221
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 1: Roki Sasaki of course, and hey, Rokie is capable of

222
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: going multiple innings. Yeah, keep that in mind. Too tight game,

223
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 1: they could bring him in the eighth. I mean, he

224
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 1: went three innings in that extra inning affair against the Phillies,

225
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 1: So keep that in mind. And by the way, Casparius

226
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: Kratz did not pitch so far in this postseason, but

227
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: last year in the postseason six and the third one run,

228
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:30,959
Speaker 1: and he was a big deal last year. That was

229
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: just coming out part. Let's talk and he wasn't on

230
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,719
Speaker 1: the NLTS roster, but he was added back to the

231
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: NLCS roster. Now let's talk. Blue Jays. Boba Schett he's on.

232
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: Maybe during this show we'll find out lineups, so we'll

233
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: share that. Also, ty France is on the roster. Yeah,

234
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: ty France, he's in there.

235
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 4: Baby. You were just sitting in spring training or wherever

236
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:02,719
Speaker 4: you are getting some reps. Oh, I'm playing let's.

237
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 2: Go World Series. This is so cool, so cool. Your

238
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 2: name on the list, so pretty unique.

239
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, two guys that had been hurt, right bo battling

240
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: the knee issue and they gave him good enough to

241
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 1: go right. And then for ty France, he has not

242
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: appeared at all in this postseason. This is the first

243
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: time that he's popping up for the team as well.

244
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember. I think it was oblique for him,

245
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 1: but I'll double check that in a moment. So ty

246
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: France can give you a good at bat, and he's

247
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: actually a really good first base and obviously flat he's

248
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: playing first, but that has been a really good defender

249
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 1: as well, not going to be needed in that capacity.

250
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,199
Speaker 3: Does he get in there tonight? I mean you're, you're

251
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 3: really you're because he started against he's played against Blake Snell,

252
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,079
Speaker 3: and you'd think like, okay, well they're not going to

253
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 3: start him in games two, three, four, because and then

254
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 3: you also have like it feels like they're it feels

255
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 3: like they're in is a little not thin, but a

256
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 3: little like you know, they're kind of handicapping their bench

257
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,839
Speaker 3: with all their right handed bats. And then like ty

258
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 3: France doesn't have a lot of versatility. Bo obviously we're

259
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 3: gonna see if he has versatility, But then you're moving

260
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 3: your DH if if he's if Bow's dhing which is

261
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 3: a possibility. Then you could go George in right field,

262
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 3: and then you got Barger third base. But Barger probably

263
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 3: wouldn't start against Blake Snell. So I feel like I'm

264
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 3: interested to see how how it's utilized. Obviously Blue Jays

265
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 3: would love it if they just go nine guys, throw

266
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 3: them out there. How you doing?

267
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 2: How you're doing? I love it?

268
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: But Ty France isn't going to start. Where would he play?

269
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 3: That's what I mean, kind of kind of ham hamstrings

270
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 3: your bench. Yeah, like you'd think they'd want a little

271
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 3: bit more versatility than what they have, But I don't

272
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 3: know what their other option would have been besides Ty France.

273
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 3: So that's that's where I'm kind of misinformed.

274
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 1: Well, he takes over for Joey Loperfido low Berffedo replaced

275
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: santunder low per Vedo's off, and France is on. Yeah,

276
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you have Isaiah Connor Philippa who can play.

277
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: Even if we made up positions in baseball, he can

278
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: play them. He's just very versatile. So you've got that,

279
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: and you presume he's going to be more of a

280
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: bench guy for them, now, right, Krats, Well, depends on

281
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: how the infield plays out.

282
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 4: Which would you rather have a Bulboush at the agent

283
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 4: even at where he is now, or having like an

284
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 4: Isaiah Khanna Filifa or whomever out there playing.

285
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: For me, I would like ikf on the bench as

286
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: my super utility guy that can fill in any spot

287
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: if needed, and you can do defensive replacements later in

288
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: the game. But for me, they said George Springer's k

289
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: playing in the outfield. We have to go with what

290
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: they're saying, right, So if he's playing capable of playing

291
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: in the outfield, then great, I'll either take that or

292
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: if bo is capable of playing one of those two

293
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: middle infield positions. It does make you a better offensive

294
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: ball club if you can do one of those things.

295
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 4: I think you put your best offensive ball club out there,

296
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 4: have to and you take your chances. And if you

297
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 4: look back and they end up losing, so be it.

298
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 4: At the end of the day, you know you have

299
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 4: an opportunity to put one of the most you know,

300
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 4: one of the better and most prolific players in Boba

301
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 4: Schett out there, and you're gonna leave him on the

302
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 4: bench and all of a sudden you lose. Anyway, just

303
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 4: saying just per se we don't know what's going to happen. Well,

304
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 4: what if I put both Bachet out there, maybe I

305
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 4: should have taken my chances. So the risk you take

306
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 4: by putting them out there, I think it's the risk

307
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 4: you need to take. Knowing his capability.

308
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: Krats. If Bobaschett can play wherever good enough and pass

309
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: to their tests, what is the ideal lineup for the

310
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: Blue Jays? And we can go with tonight. I know

311
00:15:58,400 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: it's a lefty tonight.

312
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 3: I mean I'll have to go do that nine. But

313
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 3: position wise, position wise, I don't watching him run, watching

314
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 3: the videos of Bo run, I don't know that he

315
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 3: can play shortstop for me, especially when you have a

316
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 3: goal Glover who can play short stop at a goal

317
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 3: glove level and Andre Samenez. So maybe you'd have him

318
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 3: at second base. But for me, lineup wise, I'm sitting

319
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 3: there going I gotta have the best combination of George

320
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 3: Vladdie and and Bo. Like if Bo's ready to go,

321
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 3: I don't care that I have three writings in a row.

322
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 3: I'm coming out with the best, my best guns. Blaze

323
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 3: and Bo is in there to drive guys in. And

324
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 3: you have two guys that get on base at a

325
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 3: monstrous clip in Vlad and George. So to me, that's

326
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 3: where that's where I that's where I set it. That's

327
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 3: where I set my lineup, and it's the first three

328
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 3: boys at the top.

329
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: We're back. There's a lot of chatter about what we

330
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: were just talking about. Mikey, for example, in the chat

331
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: Bashett first time ever playing second base in the World

332
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: Series would be crazy. Yeah, uh oh, the Jay's left

333
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: off Uriel Rodriguez. I guess we didn't get that part

334
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 1: in there. Uriel Rodriguez is off the roster. Yariel Rodriguez,

335
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: he pitched maybe once or twice.

336
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, seemed to be like the.

337
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: Last man in the bullpen for them, so they said,

338
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: now we're good.

339
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 3: Well, he was getting significant innings during the year two

340
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 3: for him, and towards the end it started started kind

341
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 3: of flattening out a little bit. That Slider wasn't didn't

342
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 3: have as much death.

343
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 2: There you go.

344
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they're they're really focused, probably wishing they had

345
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 1: even one more lefty to try and neutralize the Dodgers.

346
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: But man, Mason Fleuard, he's going to be tasked with

347
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: a big job.

348
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 3: Right on to me, I think they may even walk

349
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 3: walk show hey more and try to try to get

350
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 3: that lefty that uh, that little pocket there with Freddy

351
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 3: and Max. I'll be interested to see where Doc, how

352
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 3: close Doc puts Max to Freddy there. Because you can't

353
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 3: get all three, you have to be old, you have

354
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 3: to be willing to say, Okay, you know what, We're

355
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 3: just gonna get this guaranteed out. We're gonna push this guy,

356
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 3: you know, the first base, that kind of thing like

357
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 3: you can't you can't say I'll stay in there and

358
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 3: get six batters. Can't do it.

359
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: Hey, We've got John Smoltz joining us right now. Of

360
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 1: course you'll hear him tonight with Joe Davis on the broadcast,

361
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: along with Ken Rosentdald Tom Berducci on Fox and on

362
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: the brand new Fox one app. John, great to see you.

363
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,479
Speaker 1: We're excited for this one and we'll dive right in.

364
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: I know you're in game mode, so I don't know

365
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: if you heard anything from our last combo, but how

366
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 1: do you draw up Toronto's lineup situation heading into this

367
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 1: game one? I know it's also a lefty, but now

368
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: we've got Bobachett back in the mix.

369
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,199
Speaker 5: What do you think, well, the number one thing I

370
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 5: would do is try to be find a way to

371
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 5: not get many left handed batters in that lineup. I

372
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 5: know their left handers have been really good, but against

373
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 5: Blake Snell, you're giving a runway. He is nasty, and

374
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 5: I would find a way. Maybe again, I'll be interested

375
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 5: to see what they do with Ba Shet. I mean,

376
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 5: the easiest thing to do with dhs, but that puts

377
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 5: Springer in the outfield, and then you can put Schneider

378
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 5: in the outfield and maybe even maybe even Straw. But

379
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 5: I think the biggest thing that I'm looking forward to

380
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 5: seeing how the lineup and how many right handers are

381
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 5: in that lineup, because it's the only game he has

382
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 5: to worry about that many right handers. Is Blake Snell's

383
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 5: the only left handed starter?

384
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 3: What have you seen from Blake Snell? What do you

385
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 3: because we were talking about it earlier, like, hey, you

386
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 3: know what, just throw your game. But then I look

387
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 3: at some of the numbers, like I look at George

388
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 3: Springer on curveballs, and you're like, okay, well I can't

389
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 3: land any of those. Like what do you see from

390
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 3: Blake Snell? Do you think even any of these scatter

391
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 3: reports matter for him because of how he's throwing right now.

392
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 5: No, his release points very consistent. When Blake Snell was

393
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 5: not great, he was throwing too many pitches, and yeah,

394
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 5: now the statistics look great in five innings, you know,

395
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 5: twelve punch outs, five walks. When he's come in in

396
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 5: his fastball and throws the change up off of it,

397
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 5: it's deadly. And then he's got a wicked curveball top

398
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 5: to bottom. It's all about command and release point. He's

399
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 5: in that place right now that you dream of being

400
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 5: as a starting pitcher. I don't know how much this

401
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 5: layoff is going to hurt him as far as timing

402
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 5: and rhythm, but I think that's the thing to watch.

403
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 5: You got the best starting pitchers going against the team

404
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 5: that controls the strike zone better than anybody I've seen

405
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 5: in a long time in the Toronto Blue Jays. So

406
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 5: they're gonna be up there hacking, but they're only going

407
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 5: to hack in the strike zone for the most part

408
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 5: and see if they can work his pitch count get

409
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 5: him out of rhythm a little bit. But right now,

410
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 5: no one's been able to do that. He went through

411
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 5: the Milwaukee Brewers like they were nothing, And now the

412
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 5: difference is the Toronto Blue Jays are the Milwaukee Brewers

413
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 5: with power, and that's the biggest different And it's hard

414
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,360
Speaker 5: to believe they've led this all a postseason and home runs,

415
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 5: you wouldn't think that'd be the case, but they played

416
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 5: a lot more games, I get it. So that's really

417
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 5: to me. I can't wait to watch just that cat

418
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 5: and mouse game of attacked to strike zone against the

419
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 5: hitters that do a good job attacking the strike zone.

420
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,439
Speaker 1: Smallta. I want to bring in, you know, some of

421
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: our fan comments on this, so so two things to

422
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: tie into what you're talking about right now. One they said,

423
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: does it even matter for right handers with the way

424
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: that Snell's new changeup is working? And two, I thought

425
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 1: this theory was interesting even though it severely depletes the defense.

426
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: They were like, what if Hi, Francis, DH, Tonight, Bo

427
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: and Springer in the field, and then you can mess

428
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: around later in the game. But what if you roll

429
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: out a lineup like that to try and do the

430
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 1: best you can against the south pond in this situation?

431
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 5: I mean, that's again a wrinkle that's going to make

432
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 5: him think about you know, if one of those pitches

433
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 5: aren't on the right handers have an advantage, and it's

434
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 5: just too big. It's just too easy of a laying

435
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 5: against left handed batters. I mean, he's so nasty with

436
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 5: that breaking ball. You have to be an elite left

437
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 5: handed hitter to be able to have that chance. And

438
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 5: right now, even though him and as it came up

439
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 5: hugege in the series with his bat, he's not had

440
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 5: much of the bat this year and more defense. So

441
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 5: it really depends on what John Schneyder wants to do.

442
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 5: I think defensively, he doesn't have to worry as much

443
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 5: against the pitcher he's got out there. He's more of

444
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 5: a strikeout pitcher. And you Savage, so I'm intrigued. I

445
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 5: think I would stack as many left hand right handers

446
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 5: as I possibly could against Blake Snell and then deal

447
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 5: with the rest because really the left handed relievers for

448
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 5: the Dodgers are not exactly rolling out there in the

449
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 5: in the right place either, So it's going to be

450
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 5: an interesting matchup.

451
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 4: Talking about you Savage, this young cat coming in and

452
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 4: doing really well. Talk about what you're looking from him?

453
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 4: How does he get these hitters out? And if he

454
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 4: can get the five or six innings out to be

455
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 4: a plus in my opinion, right.

456
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 5: John, Absolutely. I think it all comes down to he

457
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 5: can't live upstairs with the fastball against the Dodgers. There's

458
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,199
Speaker 5: too many good high fastball hitters on their team. But

459
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 5: if he throws enough strikes and that split finger and

460
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 5: that release point, they haven't seen anything like this. He

461
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 5: went through the two teams. He had one little mistake

462
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 5: against the Seattle Mariners in the first inning. But I'm

463
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 5: telling you, this guy he might be made for this

464
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 5: moment only five starts coming into it, and I think

465
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 5: his ability to throw that split at that seven foot

466
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 5: one release point is unlike most hitters release points. They

467
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 5: just don't see that from a pitcher. And so he'll

468
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 5: throw enough strikes with fastballs, he'll be in the game

469
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 5: for five innings. If he doesn't, the Dodgers have a

470
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 5: way of making you come to them, and then that's

471
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 5: when they're at their best. So that split the slider

472
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 5: is actually way better than people think. It's just not

473
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 5: a pitch he's going to have to rely on too

474
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,919
Speaker 5: often because if he's got the split going, that's what

475
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 5: he's going to do with.

476
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we've seen a lot of those splitters work.

477
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 4: I mean, Gosman circle, whatever you call that splitter absolutely felthy.

478
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,679
Speaker 4: So they've learned from each other. I want to ask you,

479
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 4: it's like two part question. It's pretty much the same

480
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 4: for the Dodgers to win this World Series. What is

481
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,360
Speaker 4: one key thing that they're going to have to pinpoint

482
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 4: on or is it just the same? Keep doing what

483
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 4: you're doing if you're the Dodgers, don't change a thing.

484
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the first time I've seen Dave Roberts

485
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 5: sitting on the dugouts bench for a long time, Wathington

486
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 5: starters go seven, eight, nine innings. That's not been the

487
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 5: Dodgers of the past. So if that stays the same

488
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 5: and you don't expose the bullpen, which has been a

489
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 5: little bit of an issue going after the end of

490
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 5: the regular season, I think it comes down to the

491
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 5: offense not striking out too much. If they don't strike

492
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 5: out that much, their offense is good enough to put

493
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 5: up the numbers required to win. The only thing every

494
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 5: once in a while the Dodgers run into is if

495
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 5: you strike them out, you've eliminated their ability to beat

496
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 5: you with slug and that really came into play a

497
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 5: little bit for Otani until he hit those three home runs.

498
00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 5: So it's a battle of the best starting pitching we've

499
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 5: seen in a long time against a really, really good offense.

500
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 5: And then the starting pitching for Toronto has been average

501
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 5: to good, but it's not gonna have the the the

502
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 5: depth that the Dodgers currently have, and going against their lineup,

503
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 5: the Toronto Blue Jays bullpen better be great, and if

504
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 5: they're great, they got a chance to win the World Series.

505
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 4: And talking about bullpen, the middle relief, how does Toronto

506
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 4: they get to that middle relief early. I know they

507
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 4: don't swing a many pitches outside his own and they're

508
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,199
Speaker 4: trying to get that pitch count up, But I believe,

509
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 4: in my opinion, for them to have a chance, they

510
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 4: have to find a way to get to that middle

511
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 4: relief to put a little more pressure on these guys.

512
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, they have to they basically if they win the

513
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 5: World Series, I can make an argument they went through

514
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 5: some of the best pitching I've ever seen that didn't

515
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 5: look great. They made the Yankees look like they weren't

516
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 5: even that good. They made the Seattle Mariners starting pitcher

517
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 5: look like they weren't even one of the best stats

518
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 5: in the American League. And if they do that to

519
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 5: the Los Ange Dodgers, that means they've knocked them out early,

520
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 5: they've gotten into their bro pen, and they've caused havoc.

521
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 5: That is the way that they're gonna win the World Series.

522
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 5: They cannot, in my opinion, effectively beat the Dodgers if

523
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 5: those starters are going seven innings, every one of them

524
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 5: are eight. And I think that's gonna be the blueprint

525
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 5: to try to figure out. Even though they're aggressive and

526
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 5: they see less pitches per at bat than anybody, they

527
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 5: have a way of making sure the pitcher, if he's

528
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 5: not on his game and in the strike zone, then

529
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 5: they're gonna they're gonna pile up some pitches. They're not

530
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 5: three swingers. That's the beauty of it. They don't just

531
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 5: swing to swing. They swing in the strike zone and

532
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 5: really command it.

533
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 2: Well.

534
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 3: All right, Well, if you were to give advice to

535
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 3: the Dodgers team, but also Blake Snell or even you know,

536
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,959
Speaker 3: any pitcher that's thrown what's it like throwing in the SkyDome.

537
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 3: Obviously it's Roger Center, but when you threw in it,

538
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 3: it was a SkyDome. You have some experience, what do

539
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 3: you give them? And as far as advice for the

540
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 3: crowd and the different kind of noise that there's gonna

541
00:26:58,520 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 3: be tonight.

542
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 5: Well it's going to be the loudest crowd they faced

543
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 5: all year. I know Philadelphia is extreme and it's an

544
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 5: outdoor stadium, and you might give them the not an

545
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 5: outdoor stadium, but in a boat in a dome. I've

546
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 5: never heard of crowd this loud out of my life.

547
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 5: They're hungry, obviously, since nineteen ninety three, they haven't had

548
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 5: this come their way. And I think the biggest thing

549
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 5: is the Dodgers since last year being down two zero

550
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 5: against the San Diego Padres, they're a different bunch. They

551
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 5: rallied together, they've done things players only. They're a humble,

552
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 5: confident team and they're probably as calm as they've ever been.

553
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 5: So I don't think that noise is going to bother them.

554
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 5: What they've been through. You got to remember a year

555
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 5: change ago they were going to be eliminated and the

556
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 5: narrative was going to be different. And since then, whether

557
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 5: it's flying on their own, dinners on their own, players

558
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 5: have separated themselves from the noise literally and they have flourished,

559
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 5: and they have been through pretty much everything you could

560
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 5: go through. So that's why they're the favorites. That's why

561
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 5: they're confident. And I'm not so sure the noise is

562
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 5: even going to bother them, but it's sure is going

563
00:27:59,359 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 5: to be loud.

564
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 2: All right.

565
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 3: This might be a dumb question, if you did you

566
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 3: ever throw a Game one in the World Series? I

567
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 3: should have researched this before. Okay, what's more pressure? Game

568
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 3: one to set a tone or Game two or like

569
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 3: following a loss to then reset the guys back.

570
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 5: I think the biggest game always is Game one, to

571
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 5: pass the baton onto your teammate. Unfortunately, the game one

572
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 5: I won in ninety six, we won Game two and

573
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 5: then we didn't win another game. That's what the Toronto

574
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 5: Blue Jays did. They were the last team to do that,

575
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 5: lose their first two games at home and then come

576
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 5: back and win a series, although be it in seven.

577
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 5: And I think the other interesting thing which is crazy

578
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 5: to stats or stats, any team that has swept coming

579
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 5: into a World Series, team that has won their previous

580
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 5: series in seven games, the team that has swept has

581
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 5: lost every World Series appearance, which is crazy. That talks

582
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 5: about the layoff, and that also talks about the team

583
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 5: coming in that that had won a seven game series.

584
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 5: So take that for whatever that is. But that's out there.

585
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 5: And I think winning game one is always important and

586
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 5: I think it sets the tone, but in this case

587
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 5: it's probably more important than ever for the Toronto Blue Jays.

588
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 5: They know they got to win at least one game

589
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 5: at home, and game one would be an unbelievable lift

590
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 5: for this town and that team.

591
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: Hey, smolty, with John Schneider kind of learning as he

592
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: goes deeper into the postseason, do you think he'll do

593
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: anything funky bullpen wise in the World Series. I mean,

594
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: for example, I keep bringing this up, Okay, Kevin Gosten's

595
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: pitching Game two. Could we see gossmin on his throat

596
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: day appear later in this series?

597
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 2: Right?

598
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: He appeared in Game seven for them. It seems like

599
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: Chris Bassett had a nice inning for them. Maybe you

600
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: see more of him. I would imagine that there's a key,

601
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: And I know you're always big on this to limit

602
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: looks right, You don't want to see Louis Barland in

603
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: the same spot every damn game against the same guys

604
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,040
Speaker 1: or eventually you're gonna get.

605
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree. I think Barlin is his most trusted

606
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 5: right hand or in trouble. But I believe that what

607
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 5: John Schneider and every manager that they go through, they

608
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 5: learn that trusting your players doesn't always work out because

609
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 5: the execution doesn't work out, but you have to have trust.

610
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 5: I don't think he can go away from little the

611
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 5: left hander, even though that environment really got him in

612
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 5: the eighth inning. Maybe that's not the scenario to put

613
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 5: him in. But he's big, very big on trusting his

614
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 5: players and the roles that they're in. He trust trusts

615
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 5: his picture that if he brings in a starter to

616
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 5: your point, he's going to trust him. And I think

617
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 5: that's great. But I think the biggest thing that you'll

618
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 5: learn about players and pitchers when they're in a moment

619
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 5: that's too big their eyes or whatever their body, you

620
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 5: start seeing things that you might have to throw caution

621
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 5: to the win. And I think for Barlin, he thinks

622
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 5: and he's unbelievable. Eve though he's giving up some home runs,

623
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 5: he's faced some really really daunting tasks. If you think

624
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 5: about all the times he's been used, he believes that

625
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 5: every day that he puts him in that fastball and

626
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:05,719
Speaker 5: slider is gonna play. So it's a great question, and

627
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 5: what he's learned over the last seven games, he hasn't

628
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 5: had to answer in a negative way because they've moved on,

629
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 5: but he knows he's always a moment away from being

630
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 5: asked a question. When your starters don't go deep, which

631
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 5: they're not going to go deep for Toronto at least

632
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 5: we haven't seen it. You're gonna have to rely on

633
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 5: that bullpen, and that bullpen is going to have its

634
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 5: hands full big time now with the Los Angeles Dodgers

635
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 5: and the ability for them to sluck.

636
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 3: John, can you confirm that this is the last World

637
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 3: Series you'll do for a few years because you're going

638
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 3: to put your name in the hat for the brave job.

639
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 5: No, No, I barely get to go to the Braves

640
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 5: game and be in that. I think we're so far

641
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 5: removed from that organization. I don't even know if they

642
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 5: know that we're in the Hall of Fame. So now

643
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 5: that's going to be somebody else that follows a different

644
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 5: criteria of they're going to manage that baseball team moving forward.

645
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 3: What do you think? What do you think? What do

646
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 3: you think they need. What do you see them them

647
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:10,479
Speaker 3: needing to put in that position based on what they

648
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 3: already have on that roster.

649
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 5: Personally, I think they need somebody that can convey to

650
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 5: some of their star players what that star player needs

651
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 5: roll to be to be successful. I think they need

652
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 5: to handle the inside of that clubhouse better than the

653
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 5: numbers that everybody seems to be focused on in the analytics.

654
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 5: And they got to get guys pulling in the right

655
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 5: direction so that there guys that they signed are there

656
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 5: for a long time. And yes, health is the number

657
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 5: one reason they'll be successful this year. If they stay healthy,

658
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 5: they're going to be successful. But you still have to

659
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 5: be able to pull in the same direction and guys

660
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 5: do the things you got to do to win baseball games.

661
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 5: You can't just rely on awestruck talent that looks great

662
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 5: on paper and looks good on the back of a

663
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 5: baseball card.

664
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's got to happen from the jump. Obviously,

665
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 1: it was a slow start. I get that they had

666
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 1: the rough road trip at well, but they never recovered

667
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 1: after a week of baseball. It's just crazy. Until the

668
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 1: end of the season they got in a roll. But anyway,

669
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,000

691
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 1: Umpire Auditor their season rankings out of ninety two umpires.

00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: Will Little ranks thirtieth, Adrian Johnson in Game two ranks

693
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: seventy fifth, Mark Wegner in Game three ranks thirty eighth.

694
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 1: John Tom Payne ranks thirty first. He's doing Game four.

695
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: Clap it up for Alan Porter, who was epic in

696
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 1: that game. Five of the Alds going to billion innings

697
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: and he's ranked third. Adam Hamari's ranked fifteenth out of

698
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 1: ninety two, and Jordan Baker is last. He's ranked sixty

699
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 1: fourth out of ninety two. Isn't Baker the dude that's

700
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: a monster, the tallest it's like six billion. Yeah, he's good, dude, right,

701
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 1: very good, but he's very tall.

702
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 2: I'm surprising.

703
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 4: Sixty four that's a little it's a little low for

704
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 4: I mean, I review said, I think it's it's too high.

705
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 2: I would say for him, I want him lower. So

706
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 2: pick it up, Jordan, let's go. Man. Nah, that's my guy.

707
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 2: Good dude.

708
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 4: But yeah, I don't know how they pick him.

709
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 2: I don't know.

710
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,840
Speaker 4: I thought you would go by top seven, but what

711
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 4: are you going to do now? Top seven gosh, why

712
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:29,879
Speaker 4: I would have one guy in the top ten.

713
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like a broken record crats because

714
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 1: we do this all the time, and we do this

715
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:36,439
Speaker 1: for every round, and I feel like the league gets

716
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 1: pissed that we talk about this. But this is why

717
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: we're an independent show. I don't We don't have to

718
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 1: answer to everyone. And really, if someone told us all

719
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: about the system and provided more transparency, I think it

720
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 1: would be a really big deal for a fan base,

721
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: for all of Major League Baseball fans to understand, Hey,

722
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: I just want to know, like what went into this,

723
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 1: What happened to the number one guy? What happened to

724
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 1: the number seven guy?

725
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 2: Right?

726
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:57,919
Speaker 1: Like what he wasn't nice? Like what did he do wrong?

727
00:35:58,080 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 2: I don't know. That's very curious.

728
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, he doesn't have enough sin already. Okay, neither does

729
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 1: tray Is Savage and he's starting Game one.

730
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:10,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like, to me, the equivalent of this is saying, Okay,

731
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 3: I know, I know what just I know, the Mariners lost,

732
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,439
Speaker 3: but man cal Raley had a great year, so he's

733
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 3: he's gonna get to play in the World Series two.

734
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 3: Like That's That's what it kind of feels like with

735
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:25,240
Speaker 3: the umpires, sometimes these guys want this. These guys definitely

736
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 3: want to be in the World Series one. They get

737
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 3: a you know, it's prestigious. It's like, hey, you know

738
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 3: what I did this, I did the twenty twenty five

739
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 3: World Series. I did you know? My first ever championship

740
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 3: series was twenty two. They talk about that stuff and

741
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 3: they get bonuses for this. So why can't we tie

742
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 3: it to success and failures in the season. And it

743
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,399
Speaker 3: doesn't have to be one through seven. It just has

744
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 3: to be more transparent. Like you said, just tell us

745
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,879
Speaker 3: how you picked it. And to me, when you don't

746
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 3: tell us how you picked these guys, it just means

747
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 3: it's random. It just means they pick guys that have

748
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 3: some seniority. The thing that I think is cool about

749
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 3: this whole group, I was in the minor leagues with

750
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 3: every one of these guys before they were full time

751
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 3: big leaguers. Like Adrian Johnson. I saw him in the

752
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 3: minor leagues but he had big league time, Mark Wagner,

753
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 3: same thing, everybody else, Like we came kind of came

754
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 3: up through the minor leagues together and then they've been

755
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 3: they've been established. So for me, I like seeing all

756
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 3: these names it's really cool because you don't have the

757
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 3: you don't have the old guard, many of the old

758
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 3: guard in there right now.

759
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, the problem to me is that it appears as

760
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 1: if there is an everyone gets a metal situation, like

761
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: you can't be umping in the show for a long

762
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: time and not get certain playoff games or even World

763
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 1: Series games, And that just doesn't make sense. I mean,

764
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,320
Speaker 1: we're in sports. It's about competition. It's an honor just

765
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 1: to be an umpire in the major leagues. So once

766
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 1: you got that, great, Now, if you're not one of

767
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,320
Speaker 1: the best behind the plate.

768
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 2: That's okay.

769
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 1: You don't have to call pitches behind the plate. It's okay.

770
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 1: You can do that in the regular season, but in

771
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 1: the postseason, I just don't think that's the time. But again,

772
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: I feel like a broken record on this, but it's true.

773
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 3: If everybody wants a medal, if they want to do

774
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 3: it where everybody wants a medal and you know what,

775
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 3: you want to be behind a dish on one of

776
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 3: the games, We're going to continue the same route that

777
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 3: we have right now, where it's kind of random's kind

778
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 3: of seniority kind of thing, like I need everybody got

779
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 3: it top seven Top seven get all seven games behind

780
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 3: a dish doesn't mean you're gonna work in the field,

781
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 3: and the guys that are working in the field not

782
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,359
Speaker 3: necessarily going to work behind home plate. You earn it,

783
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 3: you get there bout a being it's over.

784
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 1: And if you're the worst in the league, you get

785
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 1: the celebrity softball game next year, relegation. I'm kidding, but

786
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 1: like I just I don't out of words for how

787
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 1: this works where you don't look down and and I

788
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 1: don't need one through seven, Like even if it's just, hey,

789
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 1: we got the top twenty five in here, because maybe

790
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: there's some issue or sceniarto whatever, it's just like the

791
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 1: fact that we have some guys that are ranked, you know,

792
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: pretty low, like we've got a seventy five out of

793
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:04,839
Speaker 1: ninety two. That's just that's not cool.

794
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 2: And they can make their own rankings for it, like

795
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 2: they do.

796
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: I think that's part of the die. They have their

797
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 1: own rankings, but they don't all.

798
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 2: Have to do it.

799
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 4: Maybe these are the rankings that came out with the

800
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 4: top seven transparent tell us that all right, all right,

801
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:22,280
Speaker 4: I'm not saying let me see, I mean, maybe something

802
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 4: they've seen the whole year, Like you know, this guy

803
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,359
Speaker 4: his numbers transpired to be number six.

804
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 2: We don't know this. They don't go by this. What

805
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 2: you know.

806
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,359
Speaker 1: I agree, show it, show it. I would love that

807
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 1: it's not the FBI. Show us the results. Thank you

808
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 1: very much. Time for an MLB nine innings twenty five

809
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 1: conversation about the World Series with our guy looking fresh

810
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: for Kevin Polar Yeah, he's fresh, he's got it and

811
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:46,359
Speaker 1: he's ready to go.

812
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 2: Kp.

813
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 1: Happy World Series day to you. And what do you

814
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:54,400
Speaker 1: have for us tonight? I mean, you've been a little

815
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 1: nostradamis in terms of predicting what's going on with the

816
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: Blue Jays. So would you like to make one fan

817
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 1: base happy and pissed the other side off?

818
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 6: First off, all I want to say, I'm just this

819
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,800
Speaker 6: is exciting for me. I mean, as you guys can attest,

820
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 6: you work your whole life to play in a World

821
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 6: Series and unfortunately I didn't get an opportunity to do

822
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 6: that as a player. So me kind of being able

823
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 6: to hop on the back of this Toronto Blue Jays

824
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 6: team kind of be brought back into that ecosystem, Like

825
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 6: it's exciting for me, you know, my heart's kind of

826
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 6: beating fast. I got a room right here looking at

827
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 6: the Rogers Center, and I mean the line right now

828
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 6: just to be outside the stadium is crazy. Like the

829
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,359
Speaker 6: fact that I'm going to get to step foot. I

830
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 6: never went as a fan either, so like this is

831
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 6: really exciting for me in terms of predictions. So I've

832
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:41,919
Speaker 6: been getting a lot of questions from friends at home

833
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 6: and for the audience out there that don't know. I

834
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 6: grew up in southern California. That's where I was born.

835
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,320
Speaker 6: I was a Dodger fan my whole life until I

836
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 6: got into professional baseball. So I got a lot of

837
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 6: friends and family still back at home that are Dodger fans.

838
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 6: Some of my family converted to being Blue Jay fans,

839
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:00,439
Speaker 6: and then I took them through the Ringer the league,

840
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 6: so they're.

841
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 7: Actually very confused.

842
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 6: But I think more than any series that I can remember,

843
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:09,359
Speaker 6: I think this has got the biggest randomness to it.

844
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 6: I mean, I could see the Dodgers winning in four,

845
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 6: and I could see the Blue Jays winning in seven,

846
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 6: and pretty much anywhere in between.

847
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:17,240
Speaker 7: But I need to I want.

848
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 6: To see the way they deploy this lineup before I

849
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 6: kind of make a prediction because I'm even though that

850
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:25,720
Speaker 6: I'm kind of in that inner circle with the Toronto

851
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,839
Speaker 6: Blue Jays, I don't know entirely what bo is.

852
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:29,720
Speaker 7: Capable of doing.

853
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 6: You know, I think he is the great equalizer when

854
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 6: it comes to just adding pure talent to the Blue

855
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 6: Jays lineup. So I'm curious to see how he's used tonight.

856
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 3: All right, Well, if you're kind of in the inner circle,

857
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 3: maybe just on the outer circle, and you're looking, have

858
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:46,840
Speaker 3: you seen him run? Have you been on the field

859
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 3: always seen his like videos from like the roof of

860
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 3: the Rogers Center.

861
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:52,439
Speaker 7: Yeah, I've been. I've been in there.

862
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 6: I saw him running Seattle. I saw him run the

863
00:41:55,520 --> 00:42:00,360
Speaker 6: other day. I've had a one on one conversation with him. Obviously,

864
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 6: the injury has it's it's it's public knowledge, like it's

865
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 6: not an injury that's going to heal in this short

866
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 6: amount of time that he needed in order for it

867
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 6: to heal. But he's feeling confident every day was a step.

868
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 7: In the right direction.

869
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 6: What he's been doing behind the scenes in terms of

870
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,799
Speaker 6: you know, his routine hitting and keeping his arm in

871
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 6: shape and kind of recreating that speed of the game

872
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:26,840
Speaker 6: in the box and if there's one guy that I

873
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,879
Speaker 6: would bet on out of all the players in Major

874
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 6: League Baseball, he's near that top of the list of

875
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 6: guys that I would feel comfortable rolling into a batter's box,

876
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 6: not playing in over, you know, a month and a half,

877
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 6: almost two months. I think he's that good of a hitter.

878
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 6: I think his hand eye coornation is that good. I

879
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 6: think he's born to be.

880
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 7: A professional hitter.

881
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 6: And he might not be the same guy, but I

882
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 6: think his you know, sixty seventy eighty percent, whatever he

883
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 6: feels like he is, is better than you know, some

884
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 6: other options that they have.

885
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 3: Did you see any change in the running because the

886
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 3: running videos I've seen again they're from long distance away,

887
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 3: maybe from your hotel room, I'm not sure, but it

888
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 3: didn't look good. It didn't look like somebody that I'm like, Okay,

889
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 3: I'm not debating the high eye hand coordination traject getting

890
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:12,879
Speaker 3: his at bats. He's going to be able to He'll

891
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 3: be ready with a stick. But did you see any

892
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 3: change from Seattle to hear.

893
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 7: I think it's the way he's been bouncing back.

894
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, he looks a little hobbled when he's running,

895
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 6: but for someone who's also you know, had to come

896
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 6: back from some injuries and never like an injury.

897
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 7: Like he's had.

898
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:30,879
Speaker 6: But you have to kind of check the boxes when

899
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,280
Speaker 6: you go out there run the field. No one's really

900
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 6: going out there, you know, making the tightest turns around

901
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 6: the bases. You know, the the risk reward of him

902
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 6: going out there, and you know, showing he could run

903
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 6: at one hundred percent is not worth the risk of injury.

904
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:47,360
Speaker 7: I think, and as you guys know, you guys.

905
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 6: Played a game. Adrenaline is a crazy drug. You know,

906
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 6: he gets out there and he's able to kind of

907
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:53,800
Speaker 6: move around, you know, how well is he going to

908
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 6: be able to move side to side? Where does he

909
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 6: fit in into this Blue Jays roster? Is it at

910
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:01,799
Speaker 6: second base? I don't believe it would be shortstop? And

911
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 6: I think the big thing to also remember with this

912
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 6: too is Georgia isn't one hundred percent either. I don't

913
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:09,840
Speaker 6: feel confident with him kinda and I don't think the

914
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 6: Blue Jays feel no confident en rolling George out there

915
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 6: in right field. I think of a situation, you know,

916
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:18,759
Speaker 6: you know what happened where you know that was the

917
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 6: last case scenario and they needed George to go out

918
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 6: there for a couple of innings, he would do it.

919
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 6: But for him to start out there, given what he

920
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 6: had just gone through, you know, less than a week ago,

921
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 6: getting hit off the knee. I mean, he was even

922
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 6: uncertain going into game six. In Game seven, and as

923
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 6: you could tell early on in that game, his swings

924
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 6: weren't great. You could tell the knee was bothering him.

925
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 6: He took that swing, he fell to a knee. You

926
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 6: could see him grimacing in pain. But once again, the

927
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 6: most amazing drug in the world, adrenaline. Playing in front

928
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 6: of forty seven thousand people. Did you see how high

929
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 6: he got off the ground running the first base with

930
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 6: a guy with the bum knee. So only imagine what

931
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 6: Bo would feel like if he was able to, you know,

932
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:00,880
Speaker 6: not only run out of the ugo out for maybe

933
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:04,239
Speaker 6: the opening ceremonies, but maybe get a chance to pinch

934
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 6: it or maybe even play second base. Like I think,

935
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:09,399
Speaker 6: you go out there and you see what he has

936
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 6: to give you. And obviously he's been on the field

937
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 6: the last couple of days, they have a better indication

938
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:17,439
Speaker 6: of where he's at. But game adrenaline is a crazy thing,

939
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:19,359
Speaker 6: especially on the stage.

940
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:21,839
Speaker 2: Love adrenaline, love it, eat it up.

941
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 4: I know you ate it up with all those nasty

942
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 4: catches you had there in center field.

943
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:26,319
Speaker 7: One.

944
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 4: Talk about how this atmosphere is going to be in Toronto.

945
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:31,879
Speaker 4: I know you kind of talked a little bit about

946
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 4: it a while ago. Talk about the atmosphere and talk

947
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 4: about how they get on Blake Snell early and often,

948
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 4: because when they score early, they really find ways to

949
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:41,800
Speaker 4: win ball games.

950
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 2: That one talking about the blue Jays.

951
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:47,319
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think there's no secret in baseball anymore. When

952
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:49,280
Speaker 6: the Blue Jays are in the playoffs and their teams

953
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 6: are very good, they have a true home field advantage,

954
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 6: especially when the roof is closed. I don't think there's

955
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 6: a louder place in baseball than the Rogers Center when

956
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:01,960
Speaker 6: it's rocking. And you know, credit to the Seattle Mariners,

957
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 6: you know, in that Game seven, they were able to

958
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:06,400
Speaker 6: score a little bit early and that and and baseball

959
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 6: is a weird sport. Baseball is a very reactionary sport.

960
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:11,880
Speaker 6: Like it's hard to just kind of manufacture noise, and

961
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:15,919
Speaker 6: you know, people that come to watch games, it's hard

962
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 6: to be loud and be excited when the game is

963
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 6: not that exciting. And when the other team is winning

964
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,840
Speaker 6: and you don't really have much to kind of show

965
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 6: for it.

966
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:26,479
Speaker 7: But what the Blue Jays did.

967
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 6: A really good job is crawling back into that game.

968
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 6: Then obviously the Springer moment, you know, I'm surprised the

969
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 6: roof is still on that stadium with how loud it

970
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 6: was in there. It was one of the best scenes

971
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:37,800
Speaker 6: that I had ever seen in baseball.

972
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 7: And I was a player and.

973
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 6: Got to witness Jose Batista's batflip in Game five, and

974
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:47,320
Speaker 6: there was Honestly, I think the difference was there was

975
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:50,399
Speaker 6: this There was this build up to Jose's home run,

976
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 6: like there was the airs, The stadium was kind of loud, loud, loud.

977
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 7: And then the roof blew off.

978
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:58,400
Speaker 6: George Springer's going into that inning, that stadium was almost

979
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 6: dead silent, and then there was this very very slow

980
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:03,839
Speaker 6: bill to Obviously, when Springer hit the home run, it

981
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 6: was probably the loudest I'd ever heard of stadium. But

982
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:08,879
Speaker 6: I've been talking about this and you like me coming

983
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 6: out with crazy predictions and crazy thoughts.

984
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:11,399
Speaker 3: Right.

985
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:14,759
Speaker 7: As great as it is to host the playoff game and.

986
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 6: Especially a World Series, I always feel like the pressures

987
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 6: on the home team. When you're playing at home, you're

988
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,680
Speaker 6: expected to win. You have all these people coming to

989
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 6: watch you. This is the first World Series game in

990
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 6: thirty two years held in this great city. I think

991
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:32,280
Speaker 6: you saw the effects of that in the CS Series,

992
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:35,399
Speaker 6: when you know, they had all the rest, they had

993
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 6: their starting pitching lineup, they had a fresh bullpen. You know,

994
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 6: they got to the they finally won a playoff series

995
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 6: since twenty sixteen. Seattle's coming off this very long emotional series.

996
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 6: You know, every reason to kind of bet against the

997
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 6: Seattle Mariners and hop on the Blue Jays bandwagon, But

998
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 6: I always feel like the pressures.

999
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:57,719
Speaker 7: On that home team. For that reason, baseball is very reactionary.

1000
00:47:57,760 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 6: If you don't give the fans something to kind of

1001
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 6: react to, you know, then you start to feel the tension,

1002
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:06,360
Speaker 6: You start to feel the nerves. And I think you know,

1003
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:09,440
Speaker 6: seeing that first hand in the Rogers Center and pretty

1004
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 6: much everywhere else you go in baseball, you feel that

1005
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 6: as a home team. I felt it when I played

1006
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 6: in Atlanta. When we were there, we didn't give them

1007
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:17,400
Speaker 6: a lot to cheer about, and then you could kind

1008
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:19,759
Speaker 6: of feel this nervous energy into the stadium.

1009
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:20,799
Speaker 7: And not only now are.

1010
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 6: You trying to battle the team you're playing against. You're

1011
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:25,479
Speaker 6: trying to find a way to energize these fans again.

1012
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 6: So I'm always a little skeptical to like put a

1013
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 6: lot of stock into the home team early on in

1014
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:34,359
Speaker 6: the series. I feel like as you kind of get

1015
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:36,319
Speaker 6: into the flow of the series, I think home field

1016
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:37,800
Speaker 6: advantage plays a little bit more.

1017
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 3: So did you purposely duck Todd's question?

1018
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:42,839
Speaker 7: Which?

1019
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 3: Yeah? Because is it because of all your elite success?

1020
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 3: Kevin Pilar is going to be active, You're gonna rip

1021
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 3: your jersey off and you're batting third tonight. You got

1022
00:48:56,080 --> 00:49:00,120
Speaker 3: three bangers, You're ten for twenty five. You own Blakes.

1023
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 3: So that's why you're not saying anything, but we need

1024
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 3: to hear how how can the Blue Jays own him?

1025
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:07,319
Speaker 6: Yeah, much like the first pitch, Like I said, I'm

1026
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 6: a team guy. I don't like the attention on me. Yes,

1027
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 6: I am well aware of my success of Blake Snell,

1028
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:14,319
Speaker 6: and I'm pretty sure I'm going to be asked about

1029
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 6: it on Sportsnet tonight to kind of talk about what

1030
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:19,279
Speaker 6: I would do. Blake Snell is an elite pitcher with

1031
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 6: elite stuff. I think what the Blue Jays offer is

1032
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:24,520
Speaker 6: the ability to swing at strikes put the ball in

1033
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 6: play early. I think if they can eliminate strikeouts. And

1034
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 6: I never pitched, and obviously Kratsey, you probably have a

1035
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 6: little bit more knowledge in this department.

1036
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 7: When you have a guy.

1037
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:36,280
Speaker 6: Like Blake Snell that is an elite competitor that loves

1038
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:39,880
Speaker 6: punching tickets. If you don't allow this guy to punch tickets,

1039
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 6: does he try to reach back for more? Does he

1040
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 6: start trying to throw wipe out pitches earlier? If he's

1041
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 6: not getting a lot of swing and miss. Does that

1042
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 6: kind of affect the way he feels about his stuff

1043
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 6: even if he's getting outs with those things. You know,

1044
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 6: I don't know Blake Snell personally, but I would love

1045
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 6: to get your take on that. If you have a

1046
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 6: guy who loves his stuff and he's you know, one

1047
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:02,359
Speaker 6: of the best pitch in baseball punching tickets, getting swing

1048
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 6: and miss, and he's not getting those things, even though

1049
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:05,920
Speaker 6: he may be getting out.

1050
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 7: Does that affect him? But what I think the Blue Jays.

1051
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:12,960
Speaker 6: Do in order to counteract Blake Snell's aggressive or greatness,

1052
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 6: it's continue to be aggressive, don't allow him to get

1053
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:17,760
Speaker 6: deep into counts. Don't allow him to get two strikes

1054
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 6: where he can start to throw his wipeout stuff. I

1055
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:23,120
Speaker 6: think the Blue Jays, and I've talked to the hitting

1056
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:25,439
Speaker 6: coaches there with the Toronto Blue Jays, what they are

1057
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:28,239
Speaker 6: really good is they want you to be you. They

1058
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:31,040
Speaker 6: want you to stick to your strengths. For me, against

1059
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 6: Blake Snell, I usually tunneled the inner half of the plate.

1060
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 6: I wanted to battle the fastball slider. I wanted to

1061
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:40,439
Speaker 6: avoid the fastball and the change up on the outer half.

1062
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 6: I felt like I had more success trying to pull

1063
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 6: the ball against Blake Snell. Every once in a while

1064
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:47,279
Speaker 6: I could get that change up that started middle in

1065
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 6: and kind of leaked over the plate and maybe I can,

1066
00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:52,319
Speaker 6: you know, ass out it, flip it over the shortstoff head.

1067
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:54,879
Speaker 6: And to me, the curveball is like the trap pitch

1068
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 6: with him. It's nasty, it looks like a strike, and

1069
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:00,400
Speaker 6: I think if you could try to eliminate that, I

1070
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:03,879
Speaker 6: think the Blue Jays can, you know, have some success off.

1071
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:05,319
Speaker 1: You're going up.

1072
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 6: Against one of the game's best whose seers you know, uh,

1073
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 6: you know, pitching at his best right now, and I

1074
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:14,720
Speaker 6: think that is the most interesting storyline in this series

1075
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 6: is the elite starting pitching versus the bat and ball

1076
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:18,760
Speaker 6: skills against the Toronto Blue Jays.

1077
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 7: It's gonna be very interesting to watch.

1078
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:24,799
Speaker 3: You check two boxes, you know, Blue Jays fans and

1079
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:27,439
Speaker 3: your boots on the ground. Right now, There's two guys

1080
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:31,359
Speaker 3: on the Dodgers, Roki Sasaki and Shoheo Tani, who were

1081
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 3: rumored or maybe just used as a manipulating, you know,

1082
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 3: tactic of going to the Blue Jays. We'll never know

1083
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 3: until they honestly are on a lie detector test if

1084
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:44,719
Speaker 3: Roki and show, hey, we're going to be coming to

1085
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:47,480
Speaker 3: the Blue Jays or not they seem destined to the Dodgers.

1086
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 3: Are they gonna get loud enough booze that they're not

1087
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 3: going to be able to hear their name being said

1088
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 3: when they're announced.

1089
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 7: I mean, maybe one of them.

1090
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:59,720
Speaker 6: But there also is a large Japanese population here in Toronto,

1091
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:01,439
Speaker 6: so I think there's going to be kind of mixed

1092
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 6: reviews with it. But regardless if those rumors are true

1093
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 6: or not true. And like you said, we're not going

1094
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 6: to know the entirety of the story until maybe many

1095
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:12,840
Speaker 6: years later. What it did for the Blue Jays brand

1096
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 6: was very important. I think the fact that they went

1097
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:19,239
Speaker 6: out and at least what we do know certainty is

1098
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 6: they did have one of those meetings with show A.

1099
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:23,759
Speaker 6: They had it with Roki I believe they had it

1100
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 6: with Juan Soto. The fact that they are finally in

1101
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 6: a position with ownership, with Mark Schapiro, with Ross Akins,

1102
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:34,839
Speaker 6: with everyone involved with the stadium renovations, that they want

1103
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:36,799
Speaker 6: to be a team that is willing to go out

1104
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 6: and spend money on these type of free agents. That

1105
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 6: they want to be this destination for players to come.

1106
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 6: I think is part of the reason that they're here.

1107
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 6: I think they are a team that is willing to

1108
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:49,120
Speaker 6: they want to go down the same path that the

1109
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 6: Los Angeles Dodgers are going down. Is we want to

1110
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 6: be a destination that players want to go and play for.

1111
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 6: You know, their selling point is, you know, obviously Toronto's

1112
00:52:57,640 --> 00:53:00,799
Speaker 6: a great place, but it's a very international city. It

1113
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:03,400
Speaker 6: also is the only place you represent an entire country.

1114
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:06,120
Speaker 6: But it shows that they want to win year after

1115
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:08,719
Speaker 6: year after year and hopefully this is the first and

1116
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:13,719
Speaker 6: many successful seasons for the Blue Jays. And obviously going

1117
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:17,840
Speaker 6: out and signing Flattie to that fourteen year deal in

1118
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 6: spring training shows their commitment to winning.

1119
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 4: All right, real simple question here, should Bobashett play every

1120
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:28,520
Speaker 4: single game in order for them to win this World Series?

1121
00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:30,760
Speaker 2: Wow?

1122
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:32,440
Speaker 7: It's a great question, Todd.

1123
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:34,879
Speaker 2: Do you want like my thing? Get?

1124
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:38,319
Speaker 6: I thought my initial thought process, you know, as he

1125
00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:40,560
Speaker 6: was trending in the right direction, and like I said,

1126
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:44,640
Speaker 6: me getting a chance to talk to him, I don't

1127
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:46,799
Speaker 6: know what goes on behind closed doors, you know, I've

1128
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:49,719
Speaker 6: only seen what I've seen. I've had my conversations with him.

1129
00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:54,359
Speaker 6: But I thought, as the series went on and the

1130
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:58,479
Speaker 6: Blue Jays won, I thought, without a doubt Bobashett would

1131
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 6: be on the playoff roster and what capacity what they

1132
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:04,600
Speaker 6: use them at the very least, I think Boba Schet

1133
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:07,799
Speaker 6: sitting on the bench as a right handed bat, you know,

1134
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:10,240
Speaker 6: with you know, his name on the back of the jersey,

1135
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:12,720
Speaker 6: with the type of hitter he is, with the type

1136
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 6: of you know stage he commands, with his ability to

1137
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:18,399
Speaker 6: put the ball in play. The one thing he did

1138
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:20,799
Speaker 6: tell me is he believes in his ability to put

1139
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:23,840
Speaker 6: it a great at bat together. Right now, and that

1140
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:25,400
Speaker 6: might have been a week ago when he said it

1141
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:28,360
Speaker 6: like that is his greatest attribute as a player is

1142
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:31,359
Speaker 6: he can put together a great at bat, whether he

1143
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 6: plays second base or he DHS, or he's sitting on

1144
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 6: the bench. I think him being on the roster just

1145
00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 6: makes decisions that Dave Roberts may may have to make

1146
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:44,520
Speaker 6: later in the game a little bit more challenging. Does

1147
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:46,680
Speaker 6: he go to that left hander like in the seventh

1148
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:50,600
Speaker 6: inning in that var Show Barger window, knowing that there's

1149
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:53,239
Speaker 6: this Boba sheet guy sitting on the bench, and they

1150
00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 6: also have a guy by the name of Type France

1151
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:57,439
Speaker 6: that they added to the roster. If you don't believe

1152
00:54:57,480 --> 00:54:59,640
Speaker 6: that both of those guys were added to the roster,

1153
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 6: you know, as right handed bats that could kind of

1154
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:05,959
Speaker 6: counteract some of the left handed pitching that they had

1155
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:09,160
Speaker 6: coming out of the bullpen, you're crazy, you know. I

1156
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:13,000
Speaker 6: would personally like to see Bob Baschett maybe in Game

1157
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 6: one man, if he could DH, that would be like

1158
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 6: the ideal situation. But I think finding him a window

1159
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:23,160
Speaker 6: where he gets a pinch hit in a game to

1160
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:25,359
Speaker 6: really kind of see where the heart beats at, where

1161
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 6: the body's at, where the swing is at, where the

1162
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 6: timing's at, and if he's able to get on bass.

1163
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:32,360
Speaker 6: How does he actually look running down the line?

1164
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:34,680
Speaker 7: You know, I don't believe.

1165
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:37,320
Speaker 6: He's a guy that if he pinch hits in a game,

1166
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:39,399
Speaker 6: is he going to stay in the game to run

1167
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:43,279
Speaker 6: the bases and play the field. Maybe there's this you know,

1168
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:46,400
Speaker 6: slow entry to the series, and maybe by game two

1169
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 6: or three, if he's really trending in the right direction,

1170
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:52,400
Speaker 6: maybe we see him out there. But it'll be interesting

1171
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:55,239
Speaker 6: to see a bobashet And I haven't been around the

1172
00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:57,399
Speaker 6: team all year and I didn't really get a chance

1173
00:55:57,440 --> 00:55:58,120
Speaker 6: to play with Bo.

1174
00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:00,279
Speaker 7: Is he a guy that.

1175
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:02,359
Speaker 6: Comes out for BP? Is he a guy that comes

1176
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:05,280
Speaker 6: out takes ground balls. I'm certainly gonna be over there

1177
00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:08,120
Speaker 6: during batting practice, and that's what I want to look for.

1178
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:10,360
Speaker 6: Is Boba shut out there hitting with this team? Is

1179
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:12,480
Speaker 6: he out there taking ground balls? And how does he

1180
00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 6: freaking look?

1181
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:13,319
Speaker 2: You know?

1182
00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:14,920
Speaker 6: Does he look the part? Does he look like he

1183
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:19,960
Speaker 6: can play nine names today? But I think it's regardless

1184
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:22,000
Speaker 6: of what capacity is in, I think it's gonna make

1185
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:24,239
Speaker 6: decisions on the Dodgers a little bit more tough.

1186
00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 3: I think the good number to set is seven hits

1187
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:30,239
Speaker 3: over under. That's how many Schwarber got when he came

1188
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:33,920
Speaker 3: back and came back from his acl So we'll see.

1189
00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:36,040
Speaker 3: But the big problem for the Blue Jays is they

1190
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:38,680
Speaker 3: don't have the length and they're starting pitching, so they're

1191
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:41,719
Speaker 3: gonna rely on this bullpen. Scott had brought it up

1192
00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:43,920
Speaker 3: earlier in the show. Do you think they're gonna go

1193
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:47,359
Speaker 3: with kind of like a Hey, Chris Bassett, you're gonna

1194
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:50,239
Speaker 3: give us a little bit. Hey, I know you don't

1195
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:52,719
Speaker 3: Trey you Savage. Maybe because he's young, they wouldn't do it,

1196
00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:55,799
Speaker 3: but hey, today's your side day. We're gonna go and

1197
00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:59,120
Speaker 3: we're gonna give you two innings just because of what

1198
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:04,400
Speaker 3: we've seen from their best, second best reliever in Louis Varlin.

1199
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:07,160
Speaker 3: He's just pitched every single game and once these guys

1200
00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:10,839
Speaker 3: see guys, it is lights out. So how are they

1201
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:13,560
Speaker 3: gonna deploy this? And where do you see some of

1202
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:15,400
Speaker 3: the other guys that you're like, I don't know how

1203
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:17,840
Speaker 3: they're gonna use them being used in this bullpen?

1204
00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:21,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, I highly doubt you see like a Kevin Gosman

1205
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:24,720
Speaker 6: maybe before later in the series. I think you keep

1206
00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:28,240
Speaker 6: him fresh for you know, a game six start obviously

1207
00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:31,640
Speaker 6: subject to change, you know, if the Dodger or the

1208
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:33,960
Speaker 6: Dodgers get out to an early lead in the series,

1209
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:37,520
Speaker 6: and Game six is in a guarantee. Most definitely you'll

1210
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:40,560
Speaker 6: see Kevin Gosman out there. But I think Chris Bassett

1211
00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:42,880
Speaker 6: is the biggest X factor. You know, he didn't get

1212
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:45,800
Speaker 6: really any run. I think he pitched in Game two

1213
00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:48,280
Speaker 6: when the game was a little out of hand, pitched

1214
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:50,280
Speaker 6: a little bit differently, you know, he had to pitch

1215
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:53,720
Speaker 6: for length a little bit more in that game. But

1216
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:56,840
Speaker 6: to no surprise, what John Snyder's done all year is

1217
00:57:56,920 --> 00:57:59,640
Speaker 6: kind of think outside the box. He talked to me,

1218
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:02,280
Speaker 6: you know, on the field, you know, during Game three

1219
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:04,960
Speaker 6: of the CS. You know, we had a long conversation

1220
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:08,120
Speaker 6: and his message in spring training was be you and

1221
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:11,040
Speaker 6: we are going to find a spot to maximize your

1222
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 6: skill set. And right now Chris bass bassett skill set

1223
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:18,360
Speaker 6: is being in that trust circle of trust with John Snyder.

1224
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:22,040
Speaker 6: I don't think anyone really predicted, maybe outside me, because

1225
00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:25,080
Speaker 6: I said, you know, Bassett was gonna get into Game seven,

1226
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:27,520
Speaker 6: But I don't think anyone predicted him pitching the eighth

1227
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 6: inning of a two run game. But he's been there,

1228
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:34,400
Speaker 6: He's done it. He's got a slow heartbeat, you know,

1229
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 6: you know Cratsy and Fraser, you know, these games is

1230
00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:42,080
Speaker 6: so much about controlling the emotions, controlling the heartbeat. And

1231
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:45,320
Speaker 6: you know what I was talking to Caleb Joseph about,

1232
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:47,400
Speaker 6: you know, when we're texting there in the game, about

1233
00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:49,640
Speaker 6: you know, when guys come in, you know, we're talking

1234
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:51,320
Speaker 6: the game, and we.

1235
00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:54,280
Speaker 7: Both kept asking for the curve ball because I believe.

1236
00:58:54,120 --> 00:58:58,480
Speaker 6: In big moments, when the game is at its highest moment,

1237
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:01,640
Speaker 6: people can hit a rigging fastball shot out of rifle.

1238
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 6: You know, we're all moving fast, our heartbeats beating fast.

1239
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:07,720
Speaker 6: I think sometimes slow is most effective in those situations.

1240
00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:11,040
Speaker 6: And sure enough, Chris Bassett, you know, has the cahonas

1241
00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:14,120
Speaker 6: to throw that seventy two mile out kurbball in there,

1242
00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:16,400
Speaker 6: and I expect that to be a factor in this game.

1243
00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:19,280
Speaker 6: Although the Dodgers have been there, done it, they have

1244
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:22,840
Speaker 6: a little bit slower heartbeat than maybe the Toronto Blue Jays. Tonight,

1245
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:28,440
Speaker 6: expect John Snyder to you know, stay on script with

1246
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:30,960
Speaker 6: like the Louis Varlins and the Jeff Hobbins and the

1247
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:33,800
Speaker 6: Sir Anthony Demingis. But I don't think what happened to

1248
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:36,720
Speaker 6: him with you know, Brandon Little in Game six is

1249
00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:39,080
Speaker 6: going to affect the way that he uses Maybe he

1250
00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:40,640
Speaker 6: finds a different pocket for him.

1251
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:43,040
Speaker 7: But I expect all hands on deck.

1252
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:47,040
Speaker 6: I expect some out of the box thinking and really

1253
00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:49,120
Speaker 6: just trusting his guys because I think that's what's gotten

1254
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:49,720
Speaker 6: to this point.

1255
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:50,800
Speaker 7: I don't expect John.

1256
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:55,720
Speaker 6: Schneider to change the way he's managed up until this point.

1257
00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:56,680
Speaker 2: KP.

1258
00:59:56,840 --> 00:59:59,160
Speaker 1: Hitting question for you, and we're going to cover this

1259
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:01,280
Speaker 1: a little bit in our segment so you can help

1260
01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:03,480
Speaker 1: us kick this off. What do you have on the

1261
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:08,000
Speaker 1: bat speed conversation? And Dave Popkins as if you know

1262
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:10,760
Speaker 1: he's bringing this concept to players, like, hey, if you

1263
01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:14,160
Speaker 1: swing the bat faster like that, that could create an

1264
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 1: advantage for you. But there's also the balance, of course,

1265
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:20,280
Speaker 1: if not striking out too much. So that plus I'll

1266
01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:22,680
Speaker 1: add a story from Mitch bennon The Athletic that I

1267
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:26,640
Speaker 1: read last night, and Popkins, who is beloved by the players,

1268
01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:29,240
Speaker 1: said in the first two games against the Mariners, they

1269
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:32,360
Speaker 1: were owning the zone and he said they needed more

1270
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:34,560
Speaker 1: slug and they were able to turn that on with

1271
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:36,160
Speaker 1: their game plan. So I don't know if those two

1272
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:38,200
Speaker 1: things that just asked are connected. But just curious to

1273
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:38,920
Speaker 1: get your thoughts.

1274
01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:42,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I know it sounds kind of like

1275
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:45,360
Speaker 6: an elementary thought that you know, more bat speed would

1276
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:49,520
Speaker 6: egal more velocity and more power, But it wasn't probably

1277
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:51,640
Speaker 6: something that was talked about a whole lot. And maybe

1278
01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:54,720
Speaker 6: the previous regime of hitting coaches here, and that's me

1279
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:57,360
Speaker 6: maybe speaking, you know, out of turn. I don't know

1280
01:00:57,400 --> 01:01:00,600
Speaker 6: that definitively, but I do know that the new hitting

1281
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:03,320
Speaker 6: coaches they brought in, you know, implemented that.

1282
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 7: And you know, I wish it.

1283
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:08,000
Speaker 6: Was as easy as, you know, just saying, hey, we're

1284
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:10,000
Speaker 6: going to alter our game plan, We're gonna slug more.

1285
01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:13,360
Speaker 6: But the strength that the Blue Jays do have is

1286
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:15,120
Speaker 6: that they do put the ball in play. And I

1287
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:18,120
Speaker 6: think they just had to kind of recalibrate what they

1288
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 6: meant by putting the ball in play. Didn't mean just hey,

1289
01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:23,800
Speaker 6: move advance the ball, like, let's take our shots early.

1290
01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:26,320
Speaker 6: I think when you have a team that doesn't strike out,

1291
01:01:26,360 --> 01:01:30,000
Speaker 6: and is that a really good contact team is you

1292
01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:32,400
Speaker 6: allow them to take bigger swings early in the count.

1293
01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:35,680
Speaker 6: You allow them to hunt pitches in certain zones and

1294
01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:38,560
Speaker 6: allow them to quote unquote maybe swing for the fences

1295
01:01:38,600 --> 01:01:40,800
Speaker 6: a little bit more early on in the count, because

1296
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:43,200
Speaker 6: as you know, they get deeper in the count, they

1297
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:45,760
Speaker 6: have that ability to maybe shorten up a little bit,

1298
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:48,640
Speaker 6: you know, use the opposite field, just put the ball

1299
01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:53,080
Speaker 6: in play, you know, talking the front office, talking to

1300
01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:57,160
Speaker 6: you know, Mark Shapiro. They've talked about you know, Popkins

1301
01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:01,320
Speaker 6: and his staff as being you know, ranchise altering decision

1302
01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:04,040
Speaker 6: then bringing in you know, I've been around a lot

1303
01:02:04,080 --> 01:02:06,280
Speaker 6: of hitting coaches. I've had a lot of great hitting coaches.

1304
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:10,040
Speaker 6: I've had some very average hitting coaches. My conversations with

1305
01:02:10,080 --> 01:02:12,640
Speaker 6: them is the exact type of guys that I wish

1306
01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:15,360
Speaker 6: I would have got a chance to, you know, play

1307
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:18,120
Speaker 6: for what they what they're big on is stay with

1308
01:02:18,160 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 6: your strengths. You know, we don't necessarily there's obviously a

1309
01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:24,320
Speaker 6: biomechanic aspect, but what they really want you to do

1310
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:27,280
Speaker 6: is be the best athlete you can be. Being around

1311
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:30,360
Speaker 6: them during early BP, I mean they're just having these

1312
01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:32,720
Speaker 6: guys launch, and you know, does that translate into the game. No,

1313
01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:35,120
Speaker 6: But they want these guys to feel free and move

1314
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:37,760
Speaker 6: fast and you know, have big lay kicks and move

1315
01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:40,960
Speaker 6: athletically and then they can always kind of narrow that

1316
01:02:41,080 --> 01:02:44,520
Speaker 6: kind of you know thought process, game planning, you know,

1317
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:46,720
Speaker 6: mechanics stuff. But really they're just trying to get the

1318
01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:51,480
Speaker 6: best athlete out of every hitter, you know, and getting

1319
01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:53,760
Speaker 6: their big guys. Getting Glady and George was a big

1320
01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:55,920
Speaker 6: part of getting those guys on board. And you know,

1321
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:59,280
Speaker 6: I from what I had heard, Carlos Korea maybe reaching

1322
01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:03,919
Speaker 6: out to George Springer and being like, hey, these guys

1323
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:06,200
Speaker 6: are the real deals, like give them a chance, you know,

1324
01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:08,560
Speaker 6: put let us let them, you know, trust these guys.

1325
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:11,920
Speaker 7: And obviously George, you know, was able to.

1326
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:15,120
Speaker 6: Kind of trust these guys and and and move forward

1327
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:17,320
Speaker 6: from you know, a couple of rough years and you

1328
01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:19,920
Speaker 6: know he's gonna get MVP votes this year. So a

1329
01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:22,840
Speaker 6: lot of credit to obviously the players, but behind the

1330
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:27,800
Speaker 6: scenes having great hitting coaches that are always constantly preaching

1331
01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:30,800
Speaker 6: positivity and getting your swing off, and you know.

1332
01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:32,200
Speaker 7: You guys could attest to it too.

1333
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:34,320
Speaker 6: You know, you get a lot of hitting coaches that

1334
01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:36,200
Speaker 6: say like, hey, I want you to hunt here, but

1335
01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:38,439
Speaker 6: I don't want you to go here, and don't chase here,

1336
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:41,200
Speaker 6: and and this and this. They're really big on Hey,

1337
01:03:41,240 --> 01:03:43,600
Speaker 6: if this is your zone, you want here if the

1338
01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:46,240
Speaker 6: pitch starts here and you know it's a breaking.

1339
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:47,200
Speaker 7: Ball fit and you get fooled.

1340
01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:49,360
Speaker 6: Good, I want you to hunt this zone and get

1341
01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:51,840
Speaker 6: your swing off. And there's a lot of times they

1342
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:55,160
Speaker 6: try to make an approach seem like it's so easy, like, oh,

1343
01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:58,160
Speaker 6: just hunt this pitch. Don't don't, don't don't Like you know,

1344
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:00,440
Speaker 6: guys don't tunnel pitches. Now, they are good with you

1345
01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:04,680
Speaker 6: staying in your tunnel and getting your swing off. Type

1346
01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:06,280
Speaker 6: of guys that I wish I could play for, because

1347
01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:08,000
Speaker 6: a lot of times when you go up there with

1348
01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:10,840
Speaker 6: the idea of yes and no and no and yes,

1349
01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:12,960
Speaker 6: like you know, it starts to become a math equation

1350
01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:15,280
Speaker 6: as opposed to let me just be the best rigin

1351
01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:17,360
Speaker 6: athlete I could be. Let me grab this bat, let

1352
01:04:17,400 --> 01:04:19,680
Speaker 6: me swing it fast, and let me try to do

1353
01:04:19,720 --> 01:04:20,440
Speaker 6: some damage.

1354
01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:24,880
Speaker 1: Hey, real quick, what did you say about Korea and Springer?

1355
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:27,640
Speaker 1: So you're talking about Popkins? How you went from the

1356
01:04:27,640 --> 01:04:32,120
Speaker 1: Dodgers actually to then to the Twins Twins let them go, whoops,

1357
01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:35,040
Speaker 1: they're bad? And then Crea said, hey, this guy's really good.

1358
01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:35,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1359
01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:39,080
Speaker 6: I mean, as you know, like anytime you whether you're

1360
01:04:39,120 --> 01:04:41,959
Speaker 6: a hitting coach, whether you're a sports psychiatrist, whether you're

1361
01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:47,200
Speaker 6: you know, pitching coach, getting players like being able to

1362
01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:49,520
Speaker 6: come into a new environment. The hardest thing you can

1363
01:04:49,560 --> 01:04:52,160
Speaker 6: do is try to earn the trust of players. And

1364
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:55,160
Speaker 6: if you have players maybe in an other or your

1365
01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:58,080
Speaker 6: previous organization, that are able to reach out to players,

1366
01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:02,320
Speaker 6: you know, in your current organization, and you you give them,

1367
01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:04,440
Speaker 6: you know, their blessing, and you say, hey, this guy's

1368
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:07,000
Speaker 6: the real deal, you know, and you get kind of

1369
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:09,760
Speaker 6: cut through that, you know, that little dance maybe early

1370
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:11,720
Speaker 6: on in the off season or spring training of like,

1371
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:12,280
Speaker 6: you know.

1372
01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:13,400
Speaker 7: Why is this guy calling me?

1373
01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:15,280
Speaker 6: I don't know him? You know, what's he have to

1374
01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:17,960
Speaker 6: offer me? When you can get a player's blessing and

1375
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:21,880
Speaker 6: be like, you know what, this this hitting coach was unbelievable.

1376
01:05:21,880 --> 01:05:24,080
Speaker 6: And there was places that I went, you know, and

1377
01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:26,640
Speaker 6: I was able to either reach out to players or

1378
01:05:26,640 --> 01:05:29,160
Speaker 6: players reached out to me and was like, Hey, coach

1379
01:05:29,400 --> 01:05:31,360
Speaker 6: X is the real deal, and like you don't have

1380
01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:34,440
Speaker 6: to go through that bs of like what's he have

1381
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:35,080
Speaker 6: to offer?

1382
01:05:35,320 --> 01:05:35,560
Speaker 7: You know?

1383
01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:36,919
Speaker 6: Can I trust him?

1384
01:05:37,080 --> 01:05:37,280
Speaker 2: You know?

1385
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:39,440
Speaker 7: You know, can I be vulnerable with him?

1386
01:05:39,520 --> 01:05:40,920
Speaker 6: Is he going to run in the front office? Is

1387
01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:43,200
Speaker 6: he going to tell someone, you know, does he really

1388
01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:45,800
Speaker 6: know what he's talking about? When you get that confirmation

1389
01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:49,960
Speaker 6: from a guy like you know, Carlos Korea, who's obviously

1390
01:05:50,040 --> 01:05:53,280
Speaker 6: good friends with, you know, George Springer, and George Springer

1391
01:05:53,360 --> 01:05:56,600
Speaker 6: is able to hop on from day one because he

1392
01:05:56,600 --> 01:05:58,880
Speaker 6: heard from his buddy that, hey, Dave Popkins is the

1393
01:05:58,880 --> 01:06:01,560
Speaker 6: real deal. And then you know, Springer maybe can convey

1394
01:06:01,560 --> 01:06:04,000
Speaker 6: that message to a Boba Shed or a Vladie and

1395
01:06:04,040 --> 01:06:06,160
Speaker 6: you get your big boys on table and then everyone

1396
01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:08,800
Speaker 6: else kind of follows. I think that's what you're seeing there,

1397
01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:11,240
Speaker 6: you know. And obviously I wasn't around in spring training,

1398
01:06:11,560 --> 01:06:14,240
Speaker 6: but if you talk to these guys about them, they

1399
01:06:14,280 --> 01:06:18,120
Speaker 6: smile ear to ear with confidence in what that hitting

1400
01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:20,200
Speaker 6: departments being able to do for a lot of these players,

1401
01:06:20,240 --> 01:06:22,960
Speaker 6: and what they're able to do game planning, And you know,

1402
01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:25,160
Speaker 6: I asked them questions before the game about, you know,

1403
01:06:25,200 --> 01:06:26,880
Speaker 6: how you guys going to game plan for them, and

1404
01:06:26,920 --> 01:06:28,360
Speaker 6: I'm like, do you have a backup plan and a

1405
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:28,959
Speaker 6: backup plan?

1406
01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:30,120
Speaker 7: And they just wink.

1407
01:06:30,200 --> 01:06:32,400
Speaker 6: So I think they're always, you know, one, two, three

1408
01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:36,360
Speaker 6: steps ahead of maybe the counter that the picture or

1409
01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:37,840
Speaker 6: the opposing team has, so.

1410
01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:38,800
Speaker 5: It's been fun.

1411
01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:40,880
Speaker 6: It's been a lot of fun to watch, and uh,

1412
01:06:41,040 --> 01:06:43,440
Speaker 6: it definitely seems like a place that I would have

1413
01:06:43,720 --> 01:06:44,640
Speaker 6: thrived as a hitter.

1414
01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:48,400
Speaker 2: Last question before we let you go, fun little question.

1415
01:06:48,520 --> 01:06:51,080
Speaker 4: There's a lot of song songs that are gonna be

1416
01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:52,920
Speaker 4: sung here, a lot of artists that are playing.

1417
01:06:53,480 --> 01:06:54,640
Speaker 2: Give me your favorite one out of us.

1418
01:06:54,680 --> 01:06:58,120
Speaker 4: We've got Pharrell, we got a Lessi, Akara, Bibi Rexa,

1419
01:06:58,280 --> 01:06:59,080
Speaker 4: Jonas Brothers.

1420
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:02,560
Speaker 2: Who are you most excited to hear? Uh? Either play

1421
01:07:02,600 --> 01:07:03,040
Speaker 2: the answer?

1422
01:07:04,160 --> 01:07:06,720
Speaker 6: Where's the Jonahs Brothers? Is that confirmed in l A already?

1423
01:07:07,040 --> 01:07:09,240
Speaker 6: Because I think that the first two were confirmed here

1424
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:12,320
Speaker 6: where the Jonahs Brothers? Like a, they're confirmed to do

1425
01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:13,000
Speaker 6: it at the point?

1426
01:07:13,080 --> 01:07:15,680
Speaker 4: Right, I thought it was Game one and two. Let's

1427
01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:17,760
Speaker 4: all I forget about Jonas Bright how about I.

1428
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:22,400
Speaker 1: Got it taking place after the fifth inning of games

1429
01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:24,920
Speaker 1: that'll extend the moment with a special This is they're

1430
01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:27,160
Speaker 1: part of the stand up to cancer, which is always

1431
01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:29,720
Speaker 1: kind of one of my favorite parts that I heard.

1432
01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:31,919
Speaker 6: About the game one Game two.

1433
01:07:32,040 --> 01:07:33,480
Speaker 7: I didn't hear the Jonas.

1434
01:07:33,080 --> 01:07:33,600
Speaker 2: Brothers, but.

1435
01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:38,640
Speaker 6: I mean not not not not my most favorite type

1436
01:07:38,680 --> 01:07:40,560
Speaker 6: of music. But I think Pharrell is kind of an

1437
01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:43,760
Speaker 6: icon in the music industry. You know, I love I

1438
01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:46,720
Speaker 6: love hats, and he's got a sweet hat game. So

1439
01:07:46,760 --> 01:07:49,680
Speaker 6: I imagine his hat is going to take up a big

1440
01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:52,880
Speaker 6: part of the stadium wherever he's at. And you know,

1441
01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:57,120
Speaker 6: I heard I heard that. Uh, it's more than just him.

1442
01:07:57,360 --> 01:07:59,760
Speaker 6: I think it's a it's gonna be a full blown show.

1443
01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:03,680
Speaker 6: So I'm definitely excited to see what he brings pregame today.

1444
01:08:04,360 --> 01:08:08,120
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, Ifreg wants to stop by, then he's invited.

1445
01:08:08,200 --> 01:08:11,560
Speaker 1: I'm sure. But we'll see, we'll see. This is his moment.

1446
01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:13,040
Speaker 5: What do you guys got? What do you guys?

1447
01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:15,440
Speaker 6: What's your guys predictions? I listened to a little bit

1448
01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:18,479
Speaker 6: early on, but I was coming back. What do you

1449
01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:19,760
Speaker 6: guys got.

1450
01:08:19,840 --> 01:08:21,679
Speaker 1: In terms of the music or the game?

1451
01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:24,920
Speaker 7: No? No, no, no, the game, the game, the series.

1452
01:08:27,439 --> 01:08:30,360
Speaker 1: At the beginning, no, we didn't do our predictions that

1453
01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:31,559
Speaker 1: we're gonna do him at the end. I like what

1454
01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:33,640
Speaker 1: you said at the beginning, Like I don't see the

1455
01:08:33,640 --> 01:08:35,840
Speaker 1: Blue Jays winning a short series. I think the Blue

1456
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:38,040
Speaker 1: Jays either win in like a game six or seven

1457
01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:40,760
Speaker 1: or the Dodgers. The Dodgers can win in a six

1458
01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:42,880
Speaker 1: or seven, but they also could win in four or five.

1459
01:08:43,200 --> 01:08:45,200
Speaker 1: I don't think the Blue Jays are winning in four

1460
01:08:45,280 --> 01:08:46,840
Speaker 1: or five games. The Dodgers are too good.

1461
01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:51,120
Speaker 2: Do you agree? No, he's not gonna like my prediction,

1462
01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:52,919
Speaker 2: so I'm gonna be quiet. We're gonna.

1463
01:08:54,840 --> 01:09:00,280
Speaker 1: Too early in the show. On the show, tune for

Speaker 2: KP.

1482
01:09:52,280 --> 01:09:57,400
Speaker 1: Smoltz Bieber, and the list goes on and on. We

1483
01:09:57,479 --> 01:10:02,120
Speaker 1: have some word from Rokie Sasaki on how serious his

1484
01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:05,519
Speaker 1: conversations with the Blue Jays were. Remember, the blue Jays

1485
01:10:05,560 --> 01:10:08,400
Speaker 1: actually have Miles Straw on their roster because they were

1486
01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:10,799
Speaker 1: freeing up space. They took that money on from Cleveland,

1487
01:10:10,880 --> 01:10:13,120
Speaker 1: and good for them. They actually got themselves a player

1488
01:10:13,120 --> 01:10:16,400
Speaker 1: who's having his best season ever. I think it's either

1489
01:10:16,479 --> 01:10:18,439
Speaker 1: number one or number two from him. He's been a

1490
01:10:18,479 --> 01:10:20,280
Speaker 1: really valuable part of this team and he's on the

1491
01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:22,720
Speaker 1: roster here. He's fast, it's a good defender. Anyway, we

1492
01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:26,120
Speaker 1: can show you here what Rookie said he was strongly

1493
01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:30,360
Speaker 1: considering the Blue Jays and was definitely close to signing

1494
01:10:30,439 --> 01:10:33,840
Speaker 1: with Toronto. It's actually really hard, this is the quote.

1495
01:10:33,880 --> 01:10:36,679
Speaker 1: It's actually really hard to express why I eventually chose

1496
01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:42,839
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. Really, this is no slight too hard to express,

1497
01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:47,680
Speaker 1: because yeah, I don't believe.

1498
01:10:47,360 --> 01:10:50,080
Speaker 3: You so hard. It's so hard I can't even come

1499
01:10:50,160 --> 01:10:53,639
Speaker 3: up with the words. Maybe I'll ask my agent why

1500
01:10:53,680 --> 01:10:57,479
Speaker 3: for the years before that I signed here, he was

1501
01:10:57,520 --> 01:11:01,080
Speaker 3: pushing me for the Dodgers. It's so it's just I

1502
01:11:01,160 --> 01:11:04,400
Speaker 3: can't I can't figure out why. But I'll put together

1503
01:11:04,439 --> 01:11:07,320
Speaker 3: a statement at some point to tell you why I

1504
01:11:07,479 --> 01:11:08,479
Speaker 3: chose the Dodgers.

1505
01:11:10,360 --> 01:11:14,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a tough one. I mean, I don't believe him,

1506
01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:18,679
Speaker 1: but that's okay, that's me. It's not a conspiracy either.

1507
01:11:18,800 --> 01:11:20,720
Speaker 1: At the time when people are they already was a

1508
01:11:20,720 --> 01:11:23,360
Speaker 1: pre cut deal, a pre cut deal for what every

1509
01:11:23,360 --> 01:11:26,000
Speaker 1: team was paying him between like five and ten million dollars.

1510
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:28,960
Speaker 1: This is not Yamamoto's contract. So I'm like, it's not

1511
01:11:29,080 --> 01:11:31,320
Speaker 1: that he just he wanted to go there to a

1512
01:11:31,360 --> 01:11:34,040
Speaker 1: team that's very good at recruiting Japanese players. They happen

1513
01:11:34,080 --> 01:11:36,360
Speaker 1: to have the best player of all time on that team.

1514
01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:39,120
Speaker 1: He's Japanese. They're really good. It's not a surprise.

1515
01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:43,240
Speaker 3: There's too many there's too many statements that are like, wait,

1516
01:11:43,479 --> 01:11:46,040
Speaker 3: what of course they knew where they were going to go?

1517
01:11:46,280 --> 01:11:56,240
Speaker 3: Be a bad agent if he didn't tell them.

1518
01:11:56,360 --> 01:11:59,000
Speaker 1: I like the com waves on a Friday. We're looking

1519
01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:01,920
Speaker 1: ahead to see the waves right now. It is a

1520
01:12:01,920 --> 01:12:05,719
Speaker 1: little chilly day of but outside a little bit. Haven't

1521
01:12:05,800 --> 01:12:07,920
Speaker 1: use that in a minute, haven't used that since last winter.

1522
01:12:08,720 --> 01:12:09,080
Speaker 5: Okay.

1523
01:12:09,439 --> 01:12:12,000
Speaker 1: So we talked a lot about Game one, and we'll

1524
01:12:12,040 --> 01:12:14,519
Speaker 1: continue to talk about Game one in the series. But

1525
01:12:14,880 --> 01:12:17,240
Speaker 1: let's spend a few minutes on game two. Why because

1526
01:12:17,320 --> 01:12:19,720
Speaker 1: Foul Territory is a Monday through Friday show. Now we

1527
01:12:19,760 --> 01:12:22,000
Speaker 1: are going to be on after the World Series Game one,

1528
01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:25,040
Speaker 1: so we'll still talk about game two. But I just

1529
01:12:25,080 --> 01:12:29,080
Speaker 1: want to bring up Kevin Gossman specifically, Gossman is pitching

1530
01:12:29,160 --> 01:12:32,559
Speaker 1: game two instead of game one. Makes sense, give him

1531
01:12:32,600 --> 01:12:36,080
Speaker 1: an extra day. He pitched in game seven, he Savage

1532
01:12:36,120 --> 01:12:39,719
Speaker 1: did not, so he's lined up. Shi to VD posted

1533
01:12:39,760 --> 01:12:42,080
Speaker 1: the quote from Gossman. I just want to get the

1534
01:12:42,120 --> 01:12:45,000
Speaker 1: player perspective from you guys, and I'll read it for

1535
01:12:45,120 --> 01:12:49,880
Speaker 1: you if I can see it. So he was throwing

1536
01:12:49,920 --> 01:12:53,639
Speaker 1: aside yesterday and he said he went into Game seven

1537
01:12:53,640 --> 01:12:56,880
Speaker 1: of the ALCS knowing that quote if I did get

1538
01:12:56,920 --> 01:12:59,479
Speaker 1: in that game, that maybe Game one would be kind

1539
01:12:59,479 --> 01:13:02,360
Speaker 1: of a stretch ch That was hard for me to swallow,

1540
01:13:02,840 --> 01:13:06,080
Speaker 1: to be honest, he continued, but quote, I would hate

1541
01:13:06,120 --> 01:13:08,160
Speaker 1: to go out there not knowing exactly what I'm going

1542
01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:10,439
Speaker 1: to get out of myself. That played a big part

1543
01:13:11,040 --> 01:13:13,679
Speaker 1: in the last couple days. Krats all, let you start

1544
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:17,160
Speaker 1: as the catcher where somebody's got to do real talk.

1545
01:13:17,840 --> 01:13:20,920
Speaker 1: I keep bringing up Matthew Boyd from that CUB series

1546
01:13:20,960 --> 01:13:23,120
Speaker 1: when he went on short rest against the Brewers and

1547
01:13:23,200 --> 01:13:25,599
Speaker 1: it didn't work out, And to me, I think it's

1548
01:13:25,640 --> 01:13:27,080
Speaker 1: a very similar case.

1549
01:13:28,479 --> 01:13:31,080
Speaker 3: Very similar case. You have to understand your body. I'm

1550
01:13:31,080 --> 01:13:34,479
Speaker 3: not saying Matthew Boyd didn't understand his body. I'm saying

1551
01:13:34,520 --> 01:13:38,960
Speaker 3: Gosmand knew that for him to fully commit to his outing,

1552
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:40,920
Speaker 3: however long it was going to be in game seven,

1553
01:13:42,040 --> 01:13:44,479
Speaker 3: it would probably be a detriment to him being able

1554
01:13:44,520 --> 01:13:47,960
Speaker 3: to start Game one. And good for the Blue Jays

1555
01:13:48,120 --> 01:13:52,120
Speaker 3: and understanding that and not saying you're our best, we

1556
01:13:52,200 --> 01:13:55,200
Speaker 3: gotta go, we gotta push you. You saw what happened.

1557
01:13:55,320 --> 01:13:57,160
Speaker 3: You see what happens all the time, Not just Matthew

1558
01:13:57,200 --> 01:14:00,600
Speaker 3: boy but you see what happens all the time. Differences

1559
01:14:00,680 --> 01:14:03,000
Speaker 3: in the Matthew Boyd game, they were up against it.

1560
01:14:03,360 --> 01:14:05,679
Speaker 3: The Blue Jays are not up against it. He throws

1561
01:14:05,720 --> 01:14:09,200
Speaker 3: Game one, he throws again, in game four, Game five,

1562
01:14:09,520 --> 01:14:12,960
Speaker 3: he throws, Game two, he throws again, game game six.

1563
01:14:13,120 --> 01:14:17,439
Speaker 3: Matthew Boyd throws Game two. In the NLDS, there's no

1564
01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:20,040
Speaker 3: game six, so that's a tougher. They were up against

1565
01:14:20,080 --> 01:14:22,479
Speaker 3: it a little bit differently, but This isn't just a

1566
01:14:22,479 --> 01:14:24,880
Speaker 3: Gosman thing, because every player wants to get out there

1567
01:14:24,960 --> 01:14:27,320
Speaker 3: and throw in the game. If you think you're the

1568
01:14:27,320 --> 01:14:30,120
Speaker 3: best player out there, you're gonna pitch, you're gonna hit.

1569
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:34,479
Speaker 3: It's the organization that has to say, Okay, we're we're good,

1570
01:14:34,520 --> 01:14:37,000
Speaker 3: We're gonna, we're gonna We're gonna push you back because

1571
01:14:37,080 --> 01:14:38,439
Speaker 3: what you gave us in Game seven.

1572
01:14:40,360 --> 01:14:42,280
Speaker 2: And I think it's this bulldog mentality.

1573
01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:44,439
Speaker 4: I think that's the other issue he You know, he

1574
01:14:44,479 --> 01:14:46,120
Speaker 4: wants to be out there, he wants to help out

1575
01:14:46,160 --> 01:14:49,640
Speaker 4: as much as possible, but he also understood like it

1576
01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:52,320
Speaker 4: kind of I feel like he want being that game

1577
01:14:52,360 --> 01:14:54,400
Speaker 4: one starter kind of sets the tone and I feel

1578
01:14:54,439 --> 01:14:56,360
Speaker 4: like that's where he's at with it. I think he's

1579
01:14:56,479 --> 01:15:01,400
Speaker 4: understanding about it and knows that's the possibility if I

1580
01:15:01,479 --> 01:15:03,800
Speaker 4: came in and it was so. But for him, I

1581
01:15:03,840 --> 01:15:05,519
Speaker 4: think he wants the ball now. He wants to be

1582
01:15:05,560 --> 01:15:08,240
Speaker 4: that number one guy, and you know, he don't to

1583
01:15:08,320 --> 01:15:10,680
Speaker 4: prove anybody, but to prove everybody that he is one

1584
01:15:10,680 --> 01:15:12,360
Speaker 4: of the top starters.

1585
01:15:11,880 --> 01:15:12,479
Speaker 2: In the league.

1586
01:15:12,520 --> 01:15:15,800
Speaker 4: So that's where I'm at with it, and I think it's,

1587
01:15:15,920 --> 01:15:18,080
Speaker 4: you know, water under the bridge now. It's time. It's

1588
01:15:18,120 --> 01:15:20,760
Speaker 4: go time tonight. But for him to say that it

1589
01:15:20,920 --> 01:15:23,000
Speaker 4: ate him up a little bit, of course, But I

1590
01:15:23,040 --> 01:15:25,400
Speaker 4: think he understands going Game two will be just fine

1591
01:15:25,400 --> 01:15:28,320
Speaker 4: as well. If they win Game one, I think he's

1592
01:15:28,360 --> 01:15:28,680
Speaker 4: going to be.

1593
01:15:28,640 --> 01:15:29,360
Speaker 2: Even more hyped.

1594
01:15:31,200 --> 01:15:45,120
Speaker 1: Hey, coming up next. All right, let's slap we got

1595
01:15:45,160 --> 01:15:47,720

Speaker 1: Okay, I ow Dodgers and six. I don't feel great

1623
01:17:14,120 --> 01:17:15,960
Speaker 1: are going to be this crazy story. But man, the

1624
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:17,280
Speaker 1: Dodgers are so dominant.

1625
01:17:17,439 --> 01:17:19,599
Speaker 2: They might win one these first two games, but they're

1626
