Speaker 2: They beat the Cleveland Spiders, what had just been in

35
00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 2: the middle of a season.

36
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: But I mean he kind of looks like our guy Patrick,

37
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: who's helping.

38
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, get nineteen oh six, sure, Bacocards, sure that

39
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 2: I'm looking at here. But uh yeah, that's that's how

40
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 2: far we go back to trying to figure out how

41
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 2: do you explain Otani?

42
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: This is this is what I'm This is the best

43
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: way for me to do this, Okay, And I really

44
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: this may help encompass Otani right. We get used to

45
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: seeing greatness a lot in sports. Right, We've seen we've

46
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: seen great quarterbacks. But then again, there's always great quarterbacks. Right.

47
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,959
Speaker 1: We've seen great baseball players, always great baseball player. We

48
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: see great point guards. Is great point guards. But we

49
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: talk about show Heyotani being the greatest baseball player that

50
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: any of us have seen in our lifetime. Okay, we

51
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: got that, right, But you think, okay, yeah, I see

52
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: and there's nobody better than Altani. Here we are recency

53
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: seeing Otani. But this is now how I think about Otani, right,

54
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: because I think about it from a different perspective, right,

55
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: because I used to look at it like all the

56
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: baseball I have seen, Who is someone that I can

57
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 1: compare to show Heyotani? Right, who is someone who is comparable?

58
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: Can you compare Hank Aaron who was the very end

59
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: of his career when I started watching baseball in the

60
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: mid seventies, And then you look at somebody like, well,

61
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: is maybe at his peak, Miguel Cabrera was so good,

62
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: And you think about other players in the eighties and

63
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: Mike Schmidt and Derek Jeter and all around, and I

64
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: think the best way to explain it is this when

65
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: I was young growing up, and it was, you know,

66
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: seventies and eighties, and you know, I obviously you know,

67
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: I grew up on baseball and everything else. And I

68
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: don't know how I became a Mets fan. I should

69
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: have been a Yankees fan. But growing up, and you know,

70
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: when you were younger, and I you know, a lot

71
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 1: of kids still do it now, but I don't know

72
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: they do it as much. But when you grow up

73
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: in baseball was the big sport, baseball and football, and

74
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: you like basketball and hockey. Do baseball and football always

75
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: the most popular? Is you spent time reading about the

76
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: history of the game and reading about the players who

77
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: came before and what it was like, and you hear

78
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: stuff like Babe Ruth and you're like, oh, I bet

79
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: Babe Ruth is. So it's so abstract because there's hardly

80
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: any video. You just get that real fast moving video

81
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: of Babe Ruth once I have all those feet moving, baby,

82
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: come on. But this is how I feel about show

83
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: heyo tani, is that I think about it like this.

84
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: If I was growing up in the eighties, right in

85
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: the early eight late seventies, early eighties, and I got

86
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: to watch Ted Williams play like, that's kind of how

87
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: I feel about seeing show Hao Tani now and explaining

88
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: just how good a player he is. Getting to see this,

89
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: I kind of feel like it's like if I was

90
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: that young, and because all I did was hear about

91
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: Ted Williams is always everybody's always telling me, the greatest

92
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: player that you've ever seen, greatest hitter, the way what

93
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: he could do. They shifted on him. It didn't matter. Yeah,

94
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: but anything. No he didn't pitch, No, he didn't pitch.

95
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,239
Speaker 1: But it's it's the it's the impact of what we're seeing.

96
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 1: Was show Hao Tani, and it would be it would

97
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: be me hearing the stories about Ted Williams and I

98
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: heard you. I heard all the Willie May stories too.

99
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: But Ted Williams always was the way the guy hit.

100
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: It was not unlike anything you could ever see. And

101
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: and big home runs, the ephis pitch home running, the

102
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: All Star Our Game, how he was able to hit,

103
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: the last guy to hit four hundred Major League Baseball.

104
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 1: All of these things are like, that's how big of

105
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: a person Ted Williams was. When I would would think

106
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: about baseball and think about the guys that I'd get

107
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: to see and these were all like in the eighties

108
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: and late seventies, and I would read about guys like Okay, yeah,

109
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: I was thirty forty years ago where Joe Demaggio was

110
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: this good, and here was Ted Williams, here was Stan Musial, right,

111
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: and here's all as like okay and Bob Feller and

112
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: all these great players Like okay, because now I'm going

113
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: back that same amount of time from now to that

114
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 1: point in my life. So I think about that like

115
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 1: like that point, you know, like say nineties, nineteen eighty

116
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 1: is that number? Is that to think back thirty five

117
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: forty years? That's kind of what I feel like I'm

118
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 1: watching is seeing show Hey O Tani is like if

119
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: I was this young and this generation gets to see

120
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: Ted Williams or Demaggio or Musual, but really Williams is

121
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: the guy because he just has that mythic quality about him,

122
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: not all this crazy stuff that happened to him later on.

123
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: But just think about that, like that's how I feel like,

124
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: that's how we should be looking at show Hey Tony

125
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: and what he's been able to do so far because

126
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: continually he does things that we have never seen before. Well,

127
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: Ted Williams you also had the extra mystique of a

128
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: lot of photos where him and his pilots outfit.

129
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and the year's lost there and try to

130
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 2: do the comparatives.

131
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: Uh.

132
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 2: And certainly you know growing up in Chicago, Uh, and

133
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 2: what we do these stat polls and we talk about

134
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 2: it with Steve de Seger and and we we try

135
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 2: to contextualize it all you know, Frostburg and and we

136
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 2: we try to find these numbers. Like for Frank Thomas,

137
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 2: it was always the here's how he compares to to

138
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 2: Ted Williams. Here's how he compared. And we did that

139
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 2: same thing with Mike trout right. It was there were

140
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 2: always those those hallmarks, those benchmark guys Mays and Mantle

141
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,799
Speaker 2: and Ted Williams. All Right, how do their numbers compare?

142
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 2: When you start talking about guys hitting for power uh

143
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 2: and for average?

144
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: So like I pull it back to that.

145
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 2: And then certainly you know guys like Tony Gwynn and

146
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 2: the professional hitters, that's a that's a whole other category.

147
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 2: But yeah, guys that became the all right, let's do

148
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 2: the comparisons. Generation to generation. There were those handful of

149
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 2: guys that stood out what we're watching with Otani night

150
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 2: after night and then tomorrow we're.

151
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: Gonna get to watch him pitch. Like that's the thing.

152
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: I'm watching this now.

153
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm already anticipating, all right, I want the

154
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 2: next act. Yeah, this what's not done yet. I mean,

155
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 2: he's still gonna get another red bet before this is done.

156
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 2: But it's just that anticipatory, like what's next? How do

157
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:30,119
Speaker 2: you compare it to a guy to something you've never seen?

158
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 2: And you mentioned Babe Ruth off the jump. Yeah, we

159
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 2: got a little bit of video and we've got some

160
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 2: box scores, and then there's always that how great are

161
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 2: these records? We talk era to era when you know

162
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 2: you had, you know, races of people that were not

163
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 2: allowed to play and all of this that, you know,

164
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 2: you try to grab it in the big bear hug

165
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 2: and just the hyperbolegue go and words fail right when

166
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 2: we're watching, like all of us stood up and stared

167
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 2: at the screen as that ball sailed into the night

168
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 2: for his second home right the night, going what the

169
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 2: hell's going on here?

170
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: Like what am I watching? I mean, we're just certain

171
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: things that Otani can do. That's just it's it's eye opening, right,

172
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: and and the main thing you're seeing. Now, Look you

173
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: talk about a guy on a heater, right like now

174
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: in you know, home home, and now we want seven

175
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: for seven in the playoffs, in in the World Series.

176
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: Now I don't understand, right, And this, this is what

177
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: I don't get. It's one out in the bottom of

178
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: the seventh inning. He's already got two, two doubles and

179
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: a homer against you tonight. How do you not walk him?

180
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: If you're the Blue Jams, just plunk him? How do

181
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: you not walk him? I don't want to walk you.

182
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: I want to hit you because I want you to

183
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: feel it going down to first base. Like, I don't

184
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: understand how you don't walk him at that point if

185
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: you're Toronto, Like, realize, what what? What? Why are you

186
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: doing this again? Two doubles and a homer and he's

187
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: hitting the ball to the opposite field now, something he

188
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: hasn't done in a while. Like, I don't understand how

189
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: you don't just walk him at that point. It's a

190
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,080
Speaker 1: nobody out, nobody on. Yeah, I see it, but you

191
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: have one out and you know Mookie BET's coming up

192
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: next to Mookie Bets is not getting the bat of

193
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: the ball at all. Okay, so yeah, could technically O'tani

194
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: get the second. Maybe he steals second. Yeah, but you're

195
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: putting him on again. Two doubles in a homer. Put

196
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: him at first base, put him at first bet, send

197
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: him down to first base. Let somebody else beat you.

198
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 1: Instead of saying, okay, we feel good. You did everything

199
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: you could tonight, moving pictures around to come in and

200
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: pitch the show. Hey, Otani, I don't care if it's sureser.

201
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: I don't care if it's a lefty. I don't care

202
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: if you bring in Dave Steve. I don't care if

203
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: you bring in Dave Stewart. I don't care if Tom

204
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,439
Speaker 1: Hanky comes in. I don't care if Mike Timlin comes in. Right,

205
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 1: you bring in all the great closers of the Blue Dead,

206
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: I don't care who comes in. You have a bad

207
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,719
Speaker 1: obsession with Timlin. I am I am going. I am

208
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 1: gonna make what's going on there. I don't get Mike No, no,

209
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: the two best closers blue Jay's history, or Tom Hanky

210
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: and Mike Timlin. That's when they want knock on your

211
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: door and say he's just here for the no no mister, heck,

212
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: but really, I don't know how you don't walk him.

213
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 1: I really, I know.

214
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 2: I know that's come back to bite teams a couple

215
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 2: of times, right with with Bett's drawing bases, loaded walks

216
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 2: and other things. But in this situation, yeah, I mean,

217
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 2: look what you did before, you tried to go to

218
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 2: the lefty thinking you were that's smart managing.

219
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: He magnificentages Smith is. I'm bringing in someone else who's

220
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: able to get a hit better. But that, I mean,

221
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: this is so.

222
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 2: Now that he's up to two eighty three batting average

223
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 2: for the postseason, do people feel better?

224
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: Uh? Yeah, I don't think you're gonna get a lot

225
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: of O. Tani is overrated. Otani can't hit. He can't

226
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: hit in the clutch, can't hit in the playoffs, can't

227
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: do it. What have we seen him now? The last thay, okay,

228
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 1: so so a game unlike we've seen in the history

229
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: of Major League Baseball to close out the NLCS. Now

230
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: here is continually on a heater in the World Series

231
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: again tonight, two home runs, two doubles. He's got twelve

232
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: total bases on the game right now. He's gonna bat

233
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: again at least one more time. And h He's gonna

234
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 1: pitch tomorrow night. So yeah, I think I feel good

235
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: about Otani feeling that. Yeah, Okay, I think he's over

236
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: the slump. You want me to take it. He's over

237
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 1: the slump. I think he is.

238
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 2: He's hitting five hundred playoffs on balls, back it in play.

239
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: How about that? You take away those nineteen strikeouts. Third, well,

240
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: you can't take away the strike you get the boy

241
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: shuts the bat on the ball. Bad things for you, man,

242
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: What do you go from?

243
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 3: Reason you're struggling with this answer so much is because

244
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 3: it's not possible to compare him to anybody.

245
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: It is.

246
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 2: But but I'm saying, but what I mean Ted Williams

247
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 2: isn't even close to But the mystique of seeing him,

248
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 2: it's like what I was told my whole life, what

249
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 2: Ted Williams was this?

250
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: Up right? No, but that But that's kind of the thing.

251
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: That's kind of what it is. It's kind of new.

252
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: How do you how do you you know? How do

253
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: you mistique of who the best player was that you

254
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: then hear about for you? Even better than that? Though, Yeah,

255
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: you can't compare him. Oh no, no, hey I'm not

256
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: I'm not. Well.

257
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 3: Look Ted Williams things Babe Ruth never did, and Baboo

258
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 3: is considered the greatest player ever.

259
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: No, yeah, but but hey, he can go nine for

260
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: nine and nine. I don't think Otani's eating that one level.

261
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: Ted Williams did some incredible thing. He also went to

262
00:11:58,320 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 1: go fight in World War Two for a couple of

263
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: he's never done three years off his h No, he's

264
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: never pitched. He's never pitched. He's never done that, and

265
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: I and I get that. But the mystique wise of

266
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: it is what it's like just to seeing him. Who's

267
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: Who's a player you can think of as a kid,

268
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 1: that boy I wish I would have been able to

269
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: get a chance to see and oh look and I

270
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: saw great players growing up. I saw great player. I

271
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: love seeing Pete Rose play, right, I love seeing these guys.

272
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: These are all these are all legends of the game.

273
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: But nobody's as good as Shoe Hayo Tani. So you

274
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: go back and you think it was anybody ever as

275
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 1: good as Ted Williams. So that's why it's like, if

276
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: I got to see Ted Williams play, is what the

277
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: generation right now is getting to see with Shoe Hao Tani.

278
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 2: No, but that's the thing right with Thoughtani, they you

279
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 2: can pull a bunch of his Ruth numbers for you

280
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 2: and I. Growing up, everything was compared to like the

281
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 2: first five years or six years of Ted Williams' career. Right,

282
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 2: So when you'd have Mike Trout, when you'd have Frank Thomas,

283
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 2: when you'd have somebody go off to a tremendous run.

284
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 2: I mean, look at Don Mattingly his first couple of years, right,

285
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 2: I mean, ridiculous start with the Yankees. It became a

286
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 2: all right, how does he compare to the Yankee greats

287
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 2: in the past, et cetera.

288
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: That's all.

289
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 2: It's just the next generation, the next comparison, And in

290
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 2: this case, it's writing a whole other chapter that will

291
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 2: compare kids twenty five years from now, when I'm old

292
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 2: and gray and sitting.

293
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: In a rocking chair. It's an incredible night so far,

294
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: and it's still going too big updates. The Dodgers have

295
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: brought in Roki Sasaki. Dave Roberts not messing around anymore.

296
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: With one out in the eighth inning, Sasaki comes in

297
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: to try to quell the Blue Jays rally. Blue Jay's

298
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: had first and second with one out and Sasaki gets

299
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 1: a ground out to third for the second out, So

300
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: trying to put out the fire here at the top

301
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: of the eighth inning for the Dodgers. Meanwhile, coming off

302
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 1: a fifty point game, the Lakers have absolutely nobody playing

303
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: for them to night. I think they're actually only have

304
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: five guys because they have seven players who are outside,

305
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:53,719
Speaker 1: including Luka Doncic. Austin Reeves already has fifteen let's go

306
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: through the first quarter. He is on pace for sixty

307
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: tonight for the Again, the tendonnight is in that shoulder.

308

Speaker 1: heroics of show Hey Otani and Roki Sasaki. It is

362
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: a five five game, Blue Jayson Dodgers as they head

363
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: to the ninth at Chavez Ravine. This has been Look,

364
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: this has been an absolute instant classic of a game.

365
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 1: And what gets you to point where you understand how

366
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: a classica game is is that they were really really

367
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: bad base running mistakes. Oh it's been this game and

368
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,360
Speaker 1: really bad big blunder, really bad, really bad. But they

369
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: don't matter. It's like it's like that was like like

370
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: three weeks ago. It was three hours ago. Yeah, it

371
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: was a lot. Yes, this is a long game. It

372
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: is a long game. Hey Fox, Yeah, we have hit

373
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,439
Speaker 1: the three hour market. We are rolling through it. But

374
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: like you had Freddie Freeman make a really bad base

375
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: running mistake. You had a really bad base running mistake

376
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 1: by Boba. Shit, you had a bad one by to

377
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: Oscar Hernandez. But yeah, it doesn't matter. That's it. It

378
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: was all it was.

379
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 2: It was like it was like last season. Yeah, I

380
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 2: remember that happened. It was so long ago. We got

381
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 2: a bunch of home runs. Oh my god, it all

382
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:53,719
Speaker 2: just boils back down to Wow, you know people can

383
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 2: try to uh pour some some salt, you know, or

384
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 2: dash the the excitement of it all. Whatever analogy, whatever

385
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 2: phraseology you want to do, and try to minimize his impact.

412
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 3: Would just shoot his Tell them, I find it hard

413
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 3: to believe that your dad doesn't own a gun.

414
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: No, no, my dad, No, no, no, no, my dad.

415
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: My dad was he was in Vietnam. He was You

416
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: ever heard of Vietnam? Larry? You ever heard of that? Larry?

417
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: This is your homework. Waldo Walter uh Roki Sasaki in

418
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 1: for his second inning of relief in this game. He

419
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: gets the first out of the inning, a flyout. He

420
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: gets Lad Junior to fly out to right field. So

421
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: this is both of these teams you feel like they

422
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: are in an all or nothing kind of game. Like

423
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: we got like we are pulling out We're not saving

424
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: anything at any point for any moment, even though we

425
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: have a tomorrow. We're pulling out all the stops for

426
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: this game. Today. It's a heavyweight fight.

427
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 2: I mean they just showed the replay of the inning

428
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 2: ending ground ball from from last inning, the high chopper

429
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 2: that Sasaki speared and seems shocked that he did right less,

430
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 2: No Cone gets it under and then he goes to

431
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 2: underhand toss it to Freeman who goes down and gets

432
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 2: it out of the dirt, and then he just pauses

433
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 2: and lets out this big exhale and a giant smile

434
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 2: like that that I want.

435
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: I want an old sport Flix card of that.

436
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 2: Right, like a panel kind of thing where I see

437
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 2: the reaction to hey, I got this, to the toss

438
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 2: to the exhale and smile. I mean, just look, man,

439
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 2: it's been a wave of emotion half inning to half inning.

440
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 2: There's so much going on at Dodger Stadium with this game.

441
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: And look, the point for the Toronto Blue Jays is

442
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: Sasaki is the last guy the Dodgers can trust. He's

443
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: the only guy out of the bullpen they can trust.

444
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 1: When they made the move out of the bullpen tonight,

445
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 1: it wasn't a great night for Tyler glasnow, but you

446
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: struggle bringing guys out of the bullpen, you lost the lead.

447
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: Soasaki is the last guy you can trust. The Blue

448
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 1: Jays just saying Okay, yeah, we want to try to

449
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 1: win this game here, but getting to that, back to

450
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 1: that soft underbelly of the Dodger bullpen, that's kind of

451
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: what we want to get to. And I don't know

452
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: to Sasaki have more after this inning. He's thrown fifteen

453
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 1: pitches so far, so depending how this goes, he could

454
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: have a tenth inning in him. But they're just trying.

455
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: Let's just extend the inning, man, Let's just extend as

456
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: long as we can, because who knows how much he

457
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 1: can he can really go.

458
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 2: Guy, he's a guy that wants to be among the games. Great, right,

459
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 2: he made that proclamation when he showed up to the stage.

460
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 2: So here's your opportunity. And however many pitches it takes.

461
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 2: Subplot to the game. Remember in the seventh inning off

462
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 2: a foul ball. Springer had to leave the game. So

463
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 2: he was one of the hottest hitters in balls that

464
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 2: was it didn't look good the tunnel.

465
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: He got hurt taking a swing and that's one of

466
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 1: those oblique muscle pul and that's immediately the yack that's

467
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 1: not conducive to playing the next day or the day after.

468
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: That's one of those things. Not Yeah, I'm out of

469
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: the game and I can get back swinging a back tomorrow,

470
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: So I don't expect see George Springer in the line

471
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,120
Speaker 1: at the next couple of days. Since you're playing back

472
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: to back, you're playing Tuesday Wednesday in LA. So that's

473
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 1: one of the best bats of the Blue Jay lineup.

474
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: I do not expect to see at least until the

475
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 1: series gets back to Toronto, if it does get back

476
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: to Toronto, depending on how this game.

477
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 2: A lot being made to the fact that the Dodgers

478
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 2: faithful cheered loudly as he walked back.

479
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: To the Yeah, they love George Springer in LSA. They

480
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: love George spring Yeah, great memories he's given him. So

481
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: more on the game coming up in a few minutes,

482
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 1: Steve just say you will have all the latest with

483
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 1: what's trending. But Monday Night football. The Chiefs, in a

484
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 1: very workmanlike way, defeat the Washington Commanders twenty eight to seven.

485
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: The game was close early a couple of interceptions by

486
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, the second one not his fall that bounces

487
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 1: off of Travis Kelce. You should make the catch into

488
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,199
Speaker 1: a defender's hands, but it doesn't matter Kelsey more than

489
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: making up for it the rest of the way six

490
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,919
Speaker 1: catches for ninety nine yards and a touchdown. The Chiefs

491
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: win at twenty eight to seven. And really, at this point,

492
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: I'd love to be able to tell you that someone

493
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 1: other than Patrick Mahomes is the NFL MVP. So I'll

494
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: save my hot take for who's right behind him. But

495
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 1: the way he is dragging this offense when they're not

496
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 1: getting anything running the football, like you finally got an

497
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: OK night from Isaiah Pachecko tonight he ran for fifty

498
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: eight yards. But clearly he's been their number one rusher

499
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: over the course of this season, right, Mahomes I think

500
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: has led them in rushing and I think in every

501
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 1: game but one so far this season. Right, So that's Mahomes.

502
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 1: And while the downfield ball wasn't there tonight for him,

503
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:38,959
Speaker 1: it was a really difficult you know, it's a difficult

504
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 1: night because Washington really had a great athletic game plan

505
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,239
Speaker 1: getting after him. They got in his lanes, they were

506
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,880
Speaker 1: tipping some of his passes. He still found a way

507
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 1: to go for three hundred yards really two ninety nine

508
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: and throw for three touchdowns in this game. Patrick Mahomes

509
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:57,360
Speaker 1: is dragging the Chiefs to the levels they're at right now,

510
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: which is making them think, Hey, we're five and three,

511
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: we withstood the injuries, we got Rashid Rice back, We're

512
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 1: a super Bowl contender. I'm not that high in the

513
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: chief super Bowl contender yet, but hey, five and three

514
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 1: is five and three midway point of the season. They

515
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: have had nothing going on offensively, and I was stock

516
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: up on Mahomes before the season. I said he's going

517
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 1: to go on a big Mahomes revenge tour after the

518
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 1: last two years of being a game manager. He's the MVP.

519
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: What he's doing without a lack of help around him

520
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 1: is why he's number one. But really, the guy right

521
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 1: on his tail and you saw him have another big

522
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: week this week is Daniel Jones. I mean, I know

523
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: that Daniel Jones. It's fashionable to kind of like Daniel Jones.

524
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: But wait a minute, wait, wait a minute, Jonathan Taylor's Hey,

525
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,199
Speaker 1: he's really good running back and he's in the presence

526
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: of Taylor is kind of why I have I have

527
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: Jones second behind Mahomes here because yeah, Taylor's having a

528
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,479
Speaker 1: really good year. But you but men again, MVP is

529
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 1: not the guy with the best stats what what's the

530
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 1: one big difference in Indianapolis this year has been Daniel Jones.

531
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 1: They tried same cast of characters last year. It was

532
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: still Jonathan Taylor, it was still Michael Pittman, it was

533
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 1: still Alec Pierce, it was still Josh Downs, right, it

534
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: was still Now you added Ty Warren, who's turned into

535
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 1: one of the top tight ends in the league. Okay,

536
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: that's great, but you change quarterbacks and all of a sudden,

537
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 1: this is a team that is the best team in

538
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: the AFC. They had the number two offense in the

539
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: game most points in the AFC. The difference is Daniel

540
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: Jones and his numbers are all in line with all

541
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: the other great quarterbacks. Right, yeah, well you got a couple,

542
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, But you're talking about it's MVP. It's not

543
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: the guy with the best stats, right. People always confuse

544
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: that with MVP and Player of the Year. But right now,

545
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: like if you're saying, who's the guy right behind Mahomes,

546
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 1: is Daniel Jones. He's the difference in this team. You

547
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,919
Speaker 1: can see what they were last year and where they

548
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,360
Speaker 1: are now. Even look even me, I like to pat

549
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: myself on the back as much as possible for giving

550
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: you the Colts as a dark horse super Bowl team

551
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,199
Speaker 1: last spring when they got Daniel Jones, He's gonna come in.

552
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: He's gonna fit in this offense. This is the system

553
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:55,959
Speaker 1: for him. Even I didn't think it would be like this.

554
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: I didn't think we'd see anything close to what Daniel

555
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 1: Jones is putting up. It's two fifty three on the

556
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,199
Speaker 1: yards and three touchdowns a week. And the way he

557
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: runs this offense, he goes deep down phield, he takes

558
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: advantage of of his players athleticism. The catch by Michael

559
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 1: Pittman yesterday when he just reaches back behind him at

560
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: the goal line, like I'm putting this ball up where

561
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: I know my guy's getting it or it's going to

562
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 1: fall in complete. What Eli Manning used to do so

563
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 1: great is that? Yeah, Oh Eli got lucky. No Eli knew.

564
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: I'll put this ball up here where Hakeem Knicks or

565
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 1: the defender is getting it, and I know that a

566
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: Keem Nicks is going to get this football, or I

567
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: know Victor Cruz is going to get this football. Like

568
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 1: That's what Dad. That's part of being a quarterback too,

569
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: is saying I know and I can take this chance

570
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: and the chances are it's going to work out for me.

571
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, I have Mahomes number one, but Daniel Jones

572
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 1: is right on his heels. Yeah.

573
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 2: Something we talked about a little bit the show I

574
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 2: do on Sunday Mornings with Greg Gosell talking about how

575
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 2: efficient they've been, an explosive on first down plays right

576
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 2: and first down passing to set up what Jonathan Taylor?

577
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 2: Then does you get to pull the strings? Now it's

578
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 2: curiosity because we've long talked about how great the roster

579
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,439
Speaker 2: was for the Colts, yet every year they got the

580
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 2: quarterback position wrong, year after year after Hey, we could

581
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 2: get one more out of Phil, Now we can get

582
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 2: one more out of Matt Ryan.

583
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: Now Joe Flacco could have been elite.

584
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 2: Didn't want him around all that to say, you went

585
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 2: through just this running turnstile of quarterbacks around this roster

586
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,679
Speaker 2: that you knew you had a good offensive line, you

587
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 2: had a strong back seven to get out of it,

588
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 2: and obviously Jonathan Taylor these last few years, and you

589
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 2: finally got the quarterback right. For Shane Steichen, I feared

590
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,439
Speaker 2: that guy was gonna end up getting fired because they

591
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 2: didn't give him a quarterback to work with. That it's like,

592
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 2: all right, go coax whatever you can out of Anthony Richardson.

593
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 2: Now as we look at the awards right now, right

594
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 2: for the MVP odds, talk about this a little bit earlier.

595
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 2: You got Mahomes at the top at plus one sixty

596
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 2: off this latest list, I'm looking at Josh Allen, second,

597
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 2: Drake may Is, third, Jared Goff, Matthew Stafford, and then Jones.

598
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 2: Right now he's tied with Jordan Love And I could

599
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 2: make the argument for Jordan Love's and fantastic you get

600
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 2: Christian Watson back this week, go look for him on

601
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 2: your fantasy waiver wires.

602
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: But and then you get Jonathan Taylor Baker. I feel

603
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 1: like I feel like every week with and this is

604
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 1: your point about about Jordan Lovest, every week, I feel

605
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: like I feel like nobody knows what receivers are playing

606
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 1: for Green Bay every week.

607
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 2: We no one need that giant, no one, right, how

608
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 2: many guys like, look, what Craft has been doing is

609
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 2: just absurd, right, the tight end who was phenomenal in

610
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 2: a big spot last night against the Steelers, We've seen

611
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,479
Speaker 2: him and he's their leading receiver by far. But then

612
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 2: we always have that graphic of all right, here's all

613
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 2: the guys with at least two hundred receiving yards and

614
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 2: it's like seven guys long. And now you get Christian

615
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 2: Watson back in. So it's just that equitable distribution led

640
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:49,280

641
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,840

642
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: Dodgers lead into a four to two deficit, preserving the

643
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: tie with one of the best heads up defensive plays

644
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: you will see, throwing a runner aud at third base

645
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: after a line drive goes off Freddie Freeman's glove, and

646
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: now the Dodgers go to the bottom of the ninth

647
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 1: inning still tied at five apiece.

648
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,360

649
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 6: two hits, including the early home run, and then getting

650
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 6: thrown out at third and having an awful throw at

651
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 6: the plate. Our John Morosi said, not sure I've seen

652
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 6: a World Series game with two throws from the right

653
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 6: side of the infield like we've seen from Edmund. And

654
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 6: Vladimir Guerrero Junior, who had a gun from first to

655
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 6: get Taoscar Hernandez at third base. However, it ends this

656
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 6: is one of the best World Series games in recent

657
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 6: years and absolute classic. Developing on Fox TV at Dodger

658
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 6: Stadium right now. Blue Jays five, Dodgers five. They're going

659
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,719
Speaker 6: to the bottom of the ninth. The series tied. At

660
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 6: a game apiece show. Hey Otani is tomorrow Night's starting

661

Speaker 6: red hot groundrul double solo homer, RBI double Rolo homer

664
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 6: to tie it, Andy Pays, the nine hitter is going

665
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 6: to be batting first. Everyone is getting him out this month.

666
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 6: He is four for forty seven at the plate, and

667
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 6: then we'll be going to the top of the order

668
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 6: with Otani four for four and Mookie Betts who's zero

711
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: an all time classic game this is is that you

712
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 1: get to all the twists and turns and oh, by

713
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: the oh yeah, show heyl Tani two home runs and

714
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 1: two doubles, something hasn'ten done since nineteen oh six.

715
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 6: Somewhere down the list. Yeah, four extra base hits in

716
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 6: a World Series game. The fact that Guerrero Junior, not

717
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 6: just at first base, defensively threw a guy out if

718
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 6: you scored from.

719
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 1: First on a single. He's also having an incredible game,

720
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: but picking a bad time to have that game, considering

721
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: Otani's and then and Otani's on deck and.

722
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 6: The strange thing he scored from first on the single

723
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 6: because the ball didn't go straight down the line to

724
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 6: the right fielder admit an odd care m off the sidewall.

725
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 1: So here we are, ninth inning, five to five, Blue

727
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 1: Are we talking about a third home run for Otani

728
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,240
Speaker 1: to win this game? The biggest at bet the entire

729
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: world is going to tune into coming up next? Right here,

739
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 1: Game three of the World Series. Show. Heotani was walked intentionally.

740
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 1: It was a great at bat by Andy Pahes, and

741
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 1: really the pressure would have been put on the Blue

742
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 1: Jays had been able to get on base, because then

743
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 1: can you really walk Otani and put the winning run

744
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: at second. Pahes runs the count full, pops up to second.

745
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: Otani has walked intentionally. He tries to steal second. He

746
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: is safe at second. On the initial throw down. However,

747
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 1: Otani comes up, comes off the bag and the tag

748
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 1: is made and he has ruled out the Dodgers appeal.

749
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: But you can see kind of Falifa keeps the glove

750
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,799
Speaker 1: on him as he comes off the bag, and Otani

751
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: is ruled out. Mookie Bets pops up to end the inning.

752
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 1: We go to the tenth inning, and honestly, the first

753
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: time I saw this, I said, Okay, the tag is

754
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: on Otani while he's on the bag. But then Otani

755
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 1: comes off, but he keeps the glove up there right,

756
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 1: doesn't move it, which is an awesome thing. Keeps the

757
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 1: glove there, and he had a path to the bag,

758
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: so it's not like Otani was. But he, you know,

759
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 1: he kind of came in on the outside of the

760
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 1: bag what you're supposed to do, and coming in so

761
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 1: fast his slide he didn't get to keep his lead

762
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: foot on the base. It pops up, he comes off,

763
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 1: the tag is made. Instead of the winning run at

764
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,399
Speaker 1: second with one out, Otani has thrown out great throw

765
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 1: down a second by Kirk. It's right there. And so

766
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:27,720
Speaker 1: now we go to the tenth inning and it's Shean

767
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 1: in for the Dodgers. Clayton Kershaw was up in the

768
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 1: bullpen last inning, but the Dodgers going to she and

769
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 1: now it was two great innings of relief from Roki Sasaki.

770
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 1: So now here now it's the wild West Dodgers, but

771
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 1: Dodgers bullpen has nobody left you can trust, right So,

772
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: unless you're bringing Otanian and you're gonna figure something else

773
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:50,240
Speaker 1: out for tomorrow, it's the wild West right now. Anything

774
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: can happen this game. It's just been amazing.

775
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 2: And we were laughing as we're watching the inning, like

776
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:57,359
Speaker 2: what else can he do steal a base? And then

777
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 2: sure enough he drives to steal a base. The reaction

778
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 2: shot Dave Roberts in the dugout.

779
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,399
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Robbins.

780
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 2: Salty because he gets there but with the slide pops up,

781
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,879
Speaker 2: helped a little bit by the tag and then you have.

782
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: Roberts that slow motion. It's so good.

783
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 2: But yeah, we go to the tenth Free Baseball and

784
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 2: the Stars are certainly out.

785
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: They're still there into the tenth. Nobody leaving their seats

786
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: in this one. No look, and this this is it's

787
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 1: an all time classic World Series game already, regardless as

788
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,359
Speaker 1: to how this ends, and it look it's gonna end

789
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 1: with something crazy. We're in extra innings already. Uh. The

790
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 1: reason you know this is because, and I'll say this

791
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: like this, is that we have a four hour show

792
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,399
Speaker 1: every night, right we come on seven o'clock Pacific time,

793
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: ten o'clock on the East Coast. We go late night.

794
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: We go four hours. If we were starting this show

795
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,479
Speaker 1: right after the game was over, let's say we started

796
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 1: right after the game was over. We could go four

797
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:59,359
Speaker 1: hours with different topics from this game and never repeat anything. Now, Lily,

798
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,399
Speaker 1: you'd want to be because Otani's not at the plate

799
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: so far, we haven't seen in World Series history in

800
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty years, almost nineteen oh six, the

801
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: last time a player had four extra base hits in

802
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,359
Speaker 1: a game. In a World Series game, Otani's got two

803
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 1: home runs and two doubles. The base running adventures that

804
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: both teams have had that have cost them runs in

805
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:23,240
Speaker 1: this game, the errors that have been made by both teams,

806
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,320
Speaker 1: and yet redemptive plays like Tommy Edmond keeping this game

807
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 1: a tie by making a great heads up play a

808
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 1: line drive down the first base line where he gets

809
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,760
Speaker 1: the ball off of ricochet off of Freddie Freeman's glove

810
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 1: throws to get the lead runner at third, which is

811
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: why he went to the bottom of the ninth inning

812
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 1: with the game still tied at five. There is so

813
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 1: much drama pitching decisions who who Dave Roberts brings in

814
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 1: at what time? Not rookie Sasaki in a higher leverage situation,

815
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 1: he waits till the eighth inning. This game is it's

816
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: got so many twists and turns, plus such a big

817
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 1: game as well. You know what the odds are winning

818
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 1: the World Series if you win game three after a

819
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,120
Speaker 1: tide series. That's all the stakes that are around out

820
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 1: right now. And you can tell, even though there's games

821
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 1: the next two days, neither team is playing for tomorrow.

822
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 1: They're playing for we win this game tonight and then

823
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 1: we'll have twelve hours or fifteen hours to figure out

824
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do for Game four.

825
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 2: So many subplots and obviously, because of Major League Baseball

826
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 2: rules for those un aware, we can't play the highlights,

827
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,359
Speaker 2: so we have to kind of describe it. We can't

828
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 2: let you know the booth do it for you, so

829
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 2: we bring it to you as it's coming together, live

830
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,760
Speaker 2: and in living color. Just absolute insanity in this game.

831
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 2: The know Tani story is the you know that's the

832
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,439
Speaker 2: latent fire like the slow cooker. We know it's there

833
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 2: and we get to go back into the heroics, but

834
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 2: just the moment to moment, big headline kind of decisions,

835
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 2: gaps all of that redemption arcs for all of these guys, Edmund,

836
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 2: tay Oscar, who was a hero turned goat, Edmund goat

837
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 2: turned hero. I mean, there's just so much in Sasaki

838
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:00,839
Speaker 2: making that play on the mound, stabbing that come back

839
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,879
Speaker 2: her up the middle, Like it's just been insane. How

840
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 2: we've watched the twist and turn and look, I've said

841
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 2: it a couple of times before. Uh, the Dodger defense

842
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 2: is going to find a way to affect this game.

843
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 1: We talked about that early and now we have it again.

844
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 1: Ta Oscar Hernandez. Okay, he's made two horrendous plays. What

845
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 1: you said, right, Jason, and he has just thrown the

846
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 1: go ahead run out at the plate to end the

847
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: tenth inning. Emmett Chian gets hit pretty hard a line

848
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,359
Speaker 1: drive down the line and ta Oscar Nandez again, big

849
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 1: home run, tonight, awful base running, awful defensive play. He

850
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 1: throws the runner out at I mean, but he makes

851
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: a great because we had the bad throat of the

852
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 1: plate earlier that cost him a run to and Hernandez

853
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 1: makes the right play. Edmund makes the right throw and

854
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: now We're going to the bottom of the tenth inning

855
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 1: and the game is tied at five apiece. They're reviewing

856
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 1: the play, but clearly this is an out call at

857
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 1: home plate. Again, I don't know what else we're going

858
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 1: to get at this point. They're looking at to see

859
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 1: if maybe Smith was blocking the plate and there was

860
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 1: no path to plate for the runner, but the call

861
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 1: in the field was out and they're looking at it

862
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 1: right now.

863
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, the ball's there. It beats the runner by a

864
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 2: couple of steps. He goes to sweep long before the

865
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 2: slide is initiated.

866
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 1: He does, He does stick his left foot out. This

867
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:34,359
Speaker 1: could be an interesting review. Keep it right here. We

868
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,799
Speaker 1: are rolling one of the greatest World Series games you'll

869
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:38,399
Speaker 1: ever see. Coming up next
