Speaker 1: the managing hadda MLB bro dot Com. We'll talk about

10
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 1: Dustin Baker and what this would mean for him if

11
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: the Astros were to win a championship for him, that

12
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: and much more. Let's go up to lead off. It's

13
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 1: getting robbed and keep him on. Rob's hot take on

14
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: the three biggest stories in Major League Baseball. Number one,

15
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: the World Series just nodded at two two. This is

16
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: really an interesting series because it should be three to one.

17
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 1: Let's just be honest with the Astros up when you

18
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: think about Game one where they had a five nothing lead,

19
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: and Justin Verland, who had an unbelievable regular season on

20
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: the mound. But of course we know Verlander has had trouble,

21
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: uh in the World Series. Is yet to ever win

22
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: a World Series game, so, uh, it was strange. So

23
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: the Phillies got what they wanted, which was a split

24
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: in Houston. They come home, they win Game three on

25
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: a seven nothing shut out, so of course you gotta

26
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 1: feel good, like, okay, if you're the Phillies, you gotta

27
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: get another one. And uh, this thing could be put

28
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: on ice. But instead, not only do the Astros shut

29
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: out the Phillies five nothing to win Game four, they

30
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: have a combined no hitter, a World Series no no

31
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: something you just don't see that often. And I know

32
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: a lot of people say, well, you know, the Astros

33
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:04,279
Speaker 1: domin date is unbelievable, but baseball is very strange because

34
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: we just saw how deflated the Astros were after Game

35
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 1: three on the seven nothing lost, and you're only as

36
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: good and momentum in baseball as your next day starting pitching,

37
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: and and Javier was brilliant for the Astros and that's why,

38
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: uh they were able to get back into this series

39
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: tied up to two, Game five being Thursday night in Philadelphia.

40
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 1: So this has been an amazing series so far. Number two, Yes,

41
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: Rice Harper didn't get any hits in Game four because

42
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: you know what, none of the Phillies got any hits,

43
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: so he won alone. It was one of those nights,

44
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: a magical night on the mound for the Astros. But

45
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: let's not take away from what Bryce Harper has been

46
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: able to do, which was in the previous four teen

47
00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: postseason games before Wednesday night and Game four the World

48
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 1: Series where he went hitless, he was betting three two,

49
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: six home runs, thirteen RBI, and uh has been having

50
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: a magical postseason and uh, you know, there were even

51
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: people talking out there that maybe, uh, they shouldn't pitch

52
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: to him anymore, that he's been that hot, and his

53
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: home runs have been big as far as either tying

54
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: postseason games or putting his team ahead. So maybe they

55
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: should give him the Barry Bonds treatment that happened in

56
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: two thousand two when Bonds walked over twenty times in

57
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: the postseason. Was incredible. But I think that's a little extreme.

58
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: As we saw Wednesday night, they got him out a

59
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: couple of times and they were able to know hit

60
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: a team with Bryce Harper in that lineup. So yes,

61
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: he's been dominating, but I would not put him on

62
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: just to put him on. I would be very very careful.

63
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: And in certain situations, if you have an open base

64
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: and you want to put Bryce Harper on, that makes sense.

65
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: But in no way, what I just automatically give him

66
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: a free pass every time he gets up. Number three

67
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arronado, he just want his ten

68
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: straight gold glove at third base. Incredible. Uh. You know, people,

69
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: when you think about him, think about his bat, of course,

70
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: and uh, what a hitter he is, but this is incredible.

71
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: Ten straight gold gloves at third base is nothing to

72
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: pooh pooh. I mean, and now he is six more

73
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: away from tying the mark of Hall of Famer Brooks Robinson,

74
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: who somehow, some way, if you can believe this one third,

75
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: one sixteen I should say, straight gold gloves playing third

76
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: base for the Baltimore Orioles. Can you imagine that sixteen

77
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: years in a row he was the best third baseman

78
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 1: in the game. That's hard for me to imagine anybody

79
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 1: ever getting close to that. Ronado. I mean, ten is incredible,

80
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: but sixteen in a row. Uh, it says. It says

81
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: how great Brooks Robinson. I actually got to see him play.

82
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: I thought he was the best third baseman I've ever

83
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 1: seen making plays. I can remember being a kid and

84
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: making plays at third base and calling myself Brooks Robinson

85
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: like if I made a great play, that's how well

86
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: known and renowned he was with the leather at the

87
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: hot corner. Here comes the big interviews. Listen Hendler Good. Now,

88
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: let's welcome in from MLB bro dot com, the managing

89
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: editor j R. Gamble of course, uh the anchor for

90
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: Foul Affair on this very podcast, and um j R.

91
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: Welcome into the podcast. Thanks Rob. What a game. What

92
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: a World Series game. Second no hitter in World Series history,

93
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 1: um first combined no hitter, the last one Don Larson

94
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: pitched that perfect game in nineteen fifty six Game five.

95
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 1: Just really big for Dusty's legacy and huge from Houston. Yeah,

96
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: this is uh, you know, we talked all the time,

97
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: uh Jr. About baseball, and we both love the game.

98
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: And you know, there's no such thing as as momentum

99
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: other than your next day starting picture. And we saw

100
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: this the Phillies beat up on the Astros seven nothing.

101
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: It looks like, oh this thing could be turning, it

102
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: could be over, and then uh, you know in Philadelphia,

103
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: Javier comes out and and you know, throw six no

104
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: hit innings, two walks, nine strikeouts, and and turns it

105
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 1: around and all of a sudden, you know it's a

106
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: no hitter combined no hit or five nothing, and we

107
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: got a to two series. That's what makes baseball specialist

108
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: day to day, and one picture can turn the team's

109
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: faith completely around. You know, they're looking like the team

110
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: of destiny. Now first was the Phillies, Now Dusty Baker again.

111
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: Javier said in the interview afterwards that his parents predicted

112
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: that he would throw a no hitter, so he had

113
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: some help from the fall of the pictures. But you know,

114
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: it looked like it was meant to be. But dust

115
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: these boys are back in the series. Five Old win

116
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: Game four. Philly pounded them out in Game five for

117
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: five more runs and shut down their batch. Most people

118
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: thought they were demoralized at that point in Game three,

119
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: but the bats woke up. Dusty got the series changing

120
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: game he needed from Javier delivering that franchises were fifteen

121
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: no hitter. So nothing's ever been easy for Dusty, as

122
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: we know, as evidenced by the fact he's left five

123
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: teams were to the playoffs. He's been a missing piece

124
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: for many teams, but never has gotten that lucive World

125
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: Series and he's been called, you know, they said, he's

126
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: not a tactician, he's not a you know, uh strategy guy.

127
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: But that's all BS. So he's gonna earn his way

128
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: to this world savious if he gets it, because he's

129
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: earned everything you know, he's ever had along the way.

134
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,600

135
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: in the World Series because I don't need the Powerball numbers.

136
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: If if they're predicted that kind of stuff. That translator said,

137
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: you said, you know, that's that's crazy. I would have

138
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: to check that translator if he had a bottle in

139
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: his back pocket. I mean, wow. Uh. Our guest is

Speaker 1: j R. Gamble of course from MLB bro dot com.

141
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: And you guys do uh Dusty Day on the website.

142
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: Uh stories about Dusty Baker. I love that, Uh just

143
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: to follow him and uh talk about him and this

144
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: pursuit of this championship that's been elusive in his career

145
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: year as a manager. And uh, you know the series

146
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: is tied to two. Game five is of course Thursday

147
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: night in Philadelphia. But how big is this uh for Dusty?

148
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: And if he doesn't get it, I mean you can't

149
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: believe how many more chances this might be. But he

150
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: he has to get it right, He has to get

151
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: it this time. You have to think that this is

152
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: this is it. You know, you don't want to think

153
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: of him as the Marv Levy of baseball. You know,

154
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,599
Speaker 1: a guy that was a great you know, coach and

155
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: manager and consistently got his team to the UM Finals

156
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: and couldn't close out, to the World Series, to the

157
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, couldn't close out. So yeah, you know Dusty

158
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: needs this. But like Dusty has said plenty of times,

159
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna put my legacy or whether I'm not

160
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: I win a World Series. You know, he said, I've

161
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: contributed a lot to the game. I mean, for Christ's sake,

162
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: that's the help invented the high five. So I mean

163
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: his legacy is you know, cemented there. But Rob, in

164
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: addition to Dusty, what great stories have emerged from this

165
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: um Rold Series. Beside from the MLB bro manager, you

166
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: have this emergence of this shortstop. Jeremy Paanion came out

167
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: of really you know, like out of nowhere to take

168
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: over for Korea, and he even stole the gold Glove

169
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: from JP Crawford this season, first rookie ever robbed in

170
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: history to win a Gold Glove, according to the Life

171
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: Sports Bureau, Jeremy Paanion, I think it should have been

172
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: Um Crawford for the thirty in a row, but hey,

173
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: I can't complain, you know. And then look at what

174
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: Harvey has done. He's one of those four key international

175
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: signings that they had that they put up on the

176
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: screen during the World Series, and you know, they've really

177
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: become cornerstones for the franchise. So, I mean, everyone wants

178
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 1: to dig on Houston for the scandal, but look aside

179
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 1: from that, they've been a very well run organization. Um

180
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: dusties come in, they continued to be classy, you know,

181
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: saying what they do when they continue to win. And

182
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: I hope he gets it because he surely, you know,

183
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: deserves at least one. I mean, some managers stumble into

184
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: a world saying he can at least get one fall

185
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 1: is hard work. But if they don't win and not

186
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 1: and dust and dusty legacy is set. I mean we

187
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: talked about it. You already mentioned that five times he's

188
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: taking a team to the postseas. No other manager's ever

189
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: done that. So he has something that nobody's ever done.

190
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: But if they don't win, it will not validate the

191
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: Houston Nastros and what they've done because the one year

192
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 1: that they won a World Series, it's been proven that

193
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: they cheated. So how important is that for the organization

194
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: Because if they don't win, people go like, well, the

195
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: only time they wanted they needed help, and again they

196
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: don't get it done. Look, I go back to when

197
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: Dusty joined the team. Houston needed Dusty and everything he

198
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: brings to the table, and Dusty needed he needed a

199
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: team that was ready to win. Now all he had

200
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: to come in and do what you know and do

201
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: what he does and he had one more shot to win.

202
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: So this is huge for the organization. It's just as

203
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: huge for Dusty. I mean, it's a moment of truth

204
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,599
Speaker 1: for Dusty Baker's career and it's even a moment of

205
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: truth for the Houston Nationals organization to validate the careers

206
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: of our two thing and bregmant and career and and

207
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: and all those guys that were that Core, right, that

208
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: celebrated Core that actually did wind up cheating. You know,

209
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: So this anybody that's gone, I don't think it will validate,

210
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: but it will help their legacy because no one will

211
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: remember all the specific players, but they will remember that

212
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: Man Houston actually came back a couple of years later

213
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: with the same players and when Dusty Bacon won legitimately,

214
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 1: So it means everything or that or that two thousand

215
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 1: seventeen World Series title doesn't still is tainted. It still

216
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: doesn't mean anything if they don't win this year. Put

217
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 1: that to bed that we can leave him alone. Right,

218
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: It's like Tom Brady, right, Robin. You know, Tom Brady

219
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: does the Fleet Game and Spy gaining all these things,

220
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: but he wins. So right, he wins. He goes out

221
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: and wins the day of World Series, I mean, the

222
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. So it's forgiven. Yeah, I don't know about

223
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: if everybody has forgiven him, but maybe you have. I

224
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: don't know about that. But anyway, we uh, you know

225
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: that we we can't ask for more in the World

226
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: Series because basically, we're gonna have at least six games.

227
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 1: It could go seven, you know, so it's not like

228
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 1: it's a runaway or lopside it. And I thought, I

229
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: think it's been it's been a good watch. Even though

230
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 1: we have back to back shutouts in Games three and four.

231
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: I still think it's been interested in baseball. So here

232
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: we go. And then the last thing is, you know,

233
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 1: Justin Verlander, you know, could wind up pitching, and he

234
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: has yet to win a World Series game. And you know,

235
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: Game one was what was was done, you know, nothing

236
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: at home and and lose that he didn't get the lass,

237
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: but he gave up the league. But honestly, he hasn't

238
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: had any success, hasn't won the game. What's he only

239
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: seven now on six oh and six. Honestly, Rob, I

240
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: can't believe, in my heart of hearts, I don't care

241
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: what the record says. I don't care old these I

242
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: cannot believe that Justin Verlanda is going to throw two

243
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: does in a row in the World Series. I'd be

244
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: shocked if that happens. I think he's gonna throw a

245
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: masterful game in Game five. I do because that's what

246
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: Hall of famers like him do that. You beat them up,

247
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: you think they're done, then they come back and show

248
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: you I got another notch just because of my talent

249
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: and my experience and and my job. And he you

250
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: don't think he knows he's owing six in the World Series.

251
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: With his ego and his success and accomplishments. You don't

252
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: think he knows that he's not going out like that,

253
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: No doubt. You wouldn't expect them to. But there we are,

254
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: all right. His name is j R. Gamble. He runs

255
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: the website MLB bro dot com. Check it out. Dusty

256
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: Daily is a great read and a great thing to

257
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: check out. So JR. We appreciate you, JR. Here on

258
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: the inside the Parker Podcast. Thanks Bro, see you soon.

259
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: Now bringing the closer. Here's why MLB it's better than

260
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: the NFL or NBA, and it isn't even close. Reason

261
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: number four ninety nine why Major League Baseball is better

262
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: than the NFL and better than the NBA is in

263
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: this World Series with the rain. Now, it doesn't happen

264
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: that often, but we gotta rain out of Game three,

265
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: which changed the pitching rotation, which really benefited the Phillies

266
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: because they didn't have to use one of their lesser starters.

267
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: It gave them an extra day drest to bring uh Nola,

268
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: who's one of their better starters, that top starters, and

269
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: got him an extra day of rest and able to

270
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: get him the pitch because it was they were gonna

271
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: start Syndergaard, who's like a fifth starter UH in Game three,

272
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: and they wind up winning Game three, which gave them

273
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: the lead until the Astrols came back for Game four.

274
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: So it's a different dichotomy of the game. UH. And

275
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: weather plays a factor. I don't know if we see

276
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: that in any other sport. Obviously not in basketball because uh,

277
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: you play indoors. And even in football. I can remember

278
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl between the Bears and the Colts. If

279
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: you remember that one in Miami, it rained the whole game.

280
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: They didn't call it off. It was wasn't bad watch.

281
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: But in baseball, UM, that ray now could wind up

282
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:10,360
Speaker 1: benefiting the Phillies long term because they're only using their

283
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: best pictures. In the words of New York TV legend

284
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: the late Bill Jorgensen, thanking you for your time this

285
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 1: time until next time. Rob Parker out, he can't get it.

286
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: This could be an inside the Parker to see you

287
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: next week, same bad time, same Man station,
