Now here's Baseball Hall of Fame 5 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,040 Speaker 1: voter number seventy Rob Parker. 6 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 2: Welcome into another edition of Inside the Parker, the World 7 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 2: Series Edition, the final weekly podcast for the baseball season. 8 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:33,200 Speaker 2: Of course we'll start in November with a monthly podcast 9 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 2: in the offseason, but of course we will talk about 10 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 2: the World Series and the Dodgers winning their second World 11 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 2: Series since twenty twenty and the demise of the Yankees. 12 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 3: Will do that and much more. 13 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: Let's go better up to lead off, it's getting. 14 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 4: Robbed to keep them on. Rob's hot take. 15 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: On the three biggest stories in Major League Baseball. Number one, of. 16 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 2: Course, the big already is about Yankees manager Aaron Boone, 17 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 2: and reports are already coming out of New York that 18 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 2: he is expected to return for the twenty twenty five season. 19 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 2: I think if you're the Yankees, you can't allow what 20 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 2: just happened come and go and not think that there 21 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 2: has to be changes. 22 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 3: I just I know you got to the World Series. 23 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 2: I know you had the best record in the American League, 24 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 2: but the performance was bad. 25 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 3: And it's not just Aaron Boone. 26 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 2: Brian Cashman has been the general manager for over twenty 27 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 2: five years. 28 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 3: In New York. 29 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 2: It's a long time, and they just had a long 30 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 2: fifteen year drought before they got back to the World Series. 31 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 2: And you just wonder if you know, some new blood, 32 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 2: some fresh blood would make sense in that situation. And 33 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 2: obviously the players didn't do what they were supposed to 34 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 2: do in making errors, but you're still there were moves 35 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 2: and moments based running mistakes, stuff like that's a reflection 36 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 2: of the map. When guys don't do what they're supposed 37 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 2: to and you run yourself out of innings, you make 38 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 2: bad plays things like that. I just think he's had 39 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 2: a nice run there. They got to the World Series. 40 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 2: But I just think it's time for a change in 41 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 2: the Bronx. 42 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 3: I really do. Number two. 43 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 2: Of course, the other talk in the Bronx centers around 44 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 2: Juan Soto, who will be the most sought after free 45 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 2: agent in a long time. We know Otani was the 46 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 2: most coveted free agent, but there were only a handful 47 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,399 Speaker 2: of teams that really had a chance at him. Where 48 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 2: I think the net for Juan Soto is way bigger. 49 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 2: It might be six or eight teams with money willing 50 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 2: to take on a guy of that age who's only 51 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 2: twenty five or six and put up an unbelievable season 52 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 2: in the Bronx. He was the last player to leave 53 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 2: the Yankee dugout last night after they were eliminated in 54 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 2: five games in the twenty twenty four World Series, and 55 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 2: he was asked, point blank, do the Yankees have like 56 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,959 Speaker 2: an advantage over the other teams? As he enters free agency. 57 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 2: Scott Boris is his agent. We know Scott Boris wants 58 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,119 Speaker 2: top dollar. This is a guy who turned down four 59 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 2: hundred and forty million dollars guaranteed. There's no way he's 60 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 2: going to take some hometown discount to stay with the Yankees. 61 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 3: So it's going to take top dollar. 62 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 2: And you know, he came out Soto and just said 63 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 2: all the teams are in the same position. Nobody has 64 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 2: an advantage. So that speaks volumes and it makes sense. 65 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 2: Even though I think the Bronx is a great place 66 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 2: for him. The fans embraced him. He played well in 67 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 2: New York in that environment, not a lot of players 68 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 2: can do it. There's a lot of stuff to Like, 69 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 2: you're playing for a Marquees franchise, do you want to 70 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 2: go to Detroit where they have nothing but money to spend? 71 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 2: They only have twenty million dollars on the books for 72 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 2: next season, so they could offer him seventy million or 73 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 2: sixty five million a year and still their payroll would 74 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 2: only be eighty five million. And then you fill in 75 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 2: the rest of the players, so they still could be 76 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 2: under budget and pick up a player like that because 77 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 2: they don't have anybody making big money. But is that 78 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 2: where you want to go? The advantage he has is 79 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 2: quite obvious. He's already won a World Series in twenty 80 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 2: nineteen with the Washington Nationals, so he's not chasing a championship. 81 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 2: He has that already in his back pocket. He can 82 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 2: just play to make money now, and he's gonna make 83 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 2: a lot of it. I was totally wrong when he 84 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,679 Speaker 2: turned down that four hundred and forty million dollars in Washington, 85 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 2: Like I never thought he would see another payday like that. 86 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 3: He went to San Diego. He didn't play that well. 87 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 2: He made an All Star team one of the two 88 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 2: years he was there, but he wasn't the same player, 89 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 2: and he came alive in the Bronx, had big moments 90 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 2: in the postseason, great regular season career high over forty 91 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 2: home runs. I mean, he did a lot of stuff 92 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 2: that you like, this will be interesting. And then don't 93 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 2: forget he might not have to leave New York. He 94 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 2: could just go to Queen's and play for the met 95 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 2: Steve Coin, one of the richest owners in sports, has 96 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 2: a lot of money, and what a coup that would 97 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 2: be for his team that you know, made it to 98 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 2: the NLCS against the Dodgers and then they pick up 99 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 2: soda in the offseason, their fan base would go crazy. 100 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 2: Number three, last, but not least, Baseball is back baby 101 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:31,359 Speaker 2: in a big way. 102 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 3: This World Series was incredible. 103 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 2: Numbers wise averaged over fourteen to fifteen million. In fact, 104 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 2: Baseball beat out Monday Night Football Game three in New York. 105 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 3: Incredible that ain't happened in a long time. 106 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 2: Of course, the Dodgers and Yankees make it possible too, 107 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 2: of the biggest markets and teams and superstars and Judge 108 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,679 Speaker 2: and Otani and Soto and Bets and all the big names. 109 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 2: But the sad part is that the series only lasted five. 110 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 2: If this could have got to six or seven, the 111 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 2: numbers would have been even bigger. And one note, not 112 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 2: only did baseball beat Monday Night Football this past Monday, 113 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 2: but also they averaged more as far as total numbers 114 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 2: than any NBA finals in the last five or six years. 115 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 2: I mean, that's another enormous It tells you how big 116 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 2: these numbers were, how excited people were. And we didn't 117 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 2: get the numbers from Game five, but when the score 118 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 2: was tied five to five, after the Dodgers trailed five nothing, 119 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 2: I'm sure a lot of people tuned in who maybe 120 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 2: didn't know what was going on to see the conclusion 121 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 2: of that. So I think the numbers for Game five 122 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 2: will be through the roof too when they finally come out. 123 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 2: It was a banner series for Major League Baseball and Rifley. 124 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 4: So it's the Gambler here.

I mean. 169 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 2: At the first when they got off to the five 170 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 2: nothing judges, the two run home run Jazz Chisholm, I mean, 171 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 2: the stadium had to be buzzing, Oh my god, because 172 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,959 Speaker 2: they came alive in game for eleven or four victory, 173 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 2: and then they jump out on Jack Flaherty from jump Street. 174 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 2: What was the mood of the crowd, What was that 175 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 2: all about? 176 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 3: The start the game? 177 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely getting to Flowerty that basically dominated them in 178 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 4: Game one, going seven inning strong against them. So you know, 179 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,199 Speaker 4: it was sixty seven degrees at game time. It was beautiful. 180 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 4: The weather was beautiful. People in New. 181 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 3: York in October, right, Yeah. 182 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, you can't beat that in New York City. People 183 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 4: were excited. They're still optimistic because you know, they packed 184 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 4: in and they thought, you know, it's not over till 185 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 4: it's over. They saw it happened to the Yankees back 186 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 4: in the days, so why couldn't the Yankees come back? 187 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 4: It went for but you know that that ending, It 188 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,959 Speaker 4: started off so great. Judge finally gets going, Stanton finally 189 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 4: gets going an eighteenth postseason home run of his career, 190 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 4: his seven as a Yankee. That's a record, So he's 191 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 4: solidifying a Hall fan career with four hundred and thirty bombs. 192 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 4: This postseason did a lot for If anybody was helped 193 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 4: in this postseason as a Yankee player, there weren't many 194 00:10:55,679 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 4: of them. It was Giencarlo Stanton, the crowd plumber did 195 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 4: doing that five run in the five let's stop there. 196 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, let's go. 197 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 2: I'm calling it, uh, the fatal fifth, which will be 198 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 2: the most dubious moment in Yankee history. 199 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 3: I really believe that. 200 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 2: And this is a story franchise with a long with 201 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 2: a you know, with with a long resume, Yeah, of 202 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 2: doing great things and all the championship and doing it right. 203 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 2: But this couldn't have been more wrong. And if you 204 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 2: watch the video, I want you to take. 205 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 3: Us through it. The fatal fifth is what I'm calling it. 206 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 2: But when Judge took his eye off the ball for 207 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 2: a millisecond, if you watch the video, he does, he's 208 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,439 Speaker 2: looking at the runner at first or which is shocking, 209 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 2: and he misses the easiest fly ball I've ever seen. 210 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 4: I have another take on that, Okay, tell me, Okay. 211 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 4: So I was going back and forth between the press room, 212 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 4: you know, and then outside actually watch the game, and 213 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 4: I'll tweeting. And I said to a guy next to 214 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 4: me from another publication, was at Latin publication that when 215 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 4: Judge went an inning earlier before he dropped that ball, 216 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 4: remember when he went to the wall and made that 217 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 4: catch and banged his wrist the glove wrist yep, that 218 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 4: was a risky engine before and I and I said 219 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 4: to myself it might not have meant anything, but I said, man, 220 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 4: I wonder if the risk is okay, The risk is okay, 221 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,599 Speaker 4: and then yeah, bad he took it was it wasn't productive. 222 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 4: And then when he came out missed that ball. It 223 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 4: probably has nothing to do with that. 224 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 3: But well he did double in the ninth though, didn't 225 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,959 Speaker 3: he for the eighth? 226 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, but but I don't think it was after that. 227 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:48,559 Speaker 4: That was prior to banging the risk. I'm trying to 228 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 4: remember what ending he banged. 229 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember the play because he wound up in 230 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 2: the what was it the eighth the eighth inn and 231 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 2: he get he doubled with one out, you know what 232 00:12:59,080 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 2: I mean? 233 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 3: They had a mentals second. 234 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 4: I don't know, but you know those type of those 235 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 4: type of injuries. Well, if it hurts, it can as 236 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 4: the game goes on, it can get worse and worse. 237 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 4: I'm trying to give him an out. 238 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 3: No, no, no, I get it, because he's not a 239 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 3: bad outfit. 240 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 2: He's not a bad outfielder. I watch him play center 241 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 2: field all the time. You watch him, He's not a 242 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,959 Speaker 2: bad outfielder. And the other thing too, was. 243 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 4: I think that was the first era of the season. 244 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, it could be. I wouldn't doubt it. 245 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:30,079 Speaker 2: But the other one, though, was Vopee with the bad 246 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 2: throw the Chisholm at third, like he panicked and made 247 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 2: a bad throw. And then, of course the worst one 248 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 2: of all is how in the world And it's both 249 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 2: both made a mistake. First of all, Uh, you know, 250 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 2: as a pitcher, you gotta cover first. You can never 251 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 2: assume anything. You gotta run the first base. But how 252 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 2: does Rizzon not charge that slow? I mean that ball 253 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 2: hit to him with Mookie Bets running. 254 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 4: Now, I'll say two things. The vote, the vote situation. Yes, 255 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 4: that was a bad play, but and you know it's 256 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 4: a baseball rule. If you're gonna go to third and 257 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 4: not the first, you gotta get him at third. So 258 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 4: I don't think that was a good decision. It was 259 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 4: too bang bang, And then he didn't have the angle 260 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 4: to make a good throw, and he didn't make a 261 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 4: good throw under pressure in a pressure situation. A way, 262 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 4: I'm built for it, some aren't. As far as first base. 263 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 4: What I'm hearing is that and I have to go 264 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 4: back now and look because I heard this Jared Cole 265 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 4: does not usually run the first base on those types 266 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 4: of plays to cover the bad Okay, if he hasn't 267 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 4: been doing it, I'm persons on New York Grade to 268 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 4: which they're saying, in those type of situations where the 269 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 4: balls hit deep, but the first base that can't get 270 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 4: the first if he charges the ball and runs the 271 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 4: egregious party in that play, Rob's Rizzo. 272 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 3: No, no, I I agree with you, know Mookie. 273 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,479 Speaker 2: When I I said to my I said to myself, 274 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 2: come on, Garrett Cole just had a masterpiece. 275 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 3: Okay, he strikes. 276 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 2: Out, lucks right, he throug out the night he struck 277 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 2: out to think, two guys in a row, including old Tani, 278 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 2: we may look bad. And he gets Mookie bets with 279 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 2: the basic load and the clutch situation to hit a 280 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 2: weak ground ball to first. I'm like, I couldn't even 281 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 2: believe it. And then when I see uh Rizzo not 282 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 2: dodge the ball. You should be running towards the ball. 283 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 2: As you run towards first, there's no what are you 284 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 2: waiting for? 285 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 4: I don't and if you don't see the picture coming over, 286 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 4: like these are things you've done your whole life, right, 287 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 4: It's not like you have to just look at the 288 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 4: ball and nothing else. You check to see if the 289 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 4: picture is coming, you're getting the ball. These are things 290 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 4: your ball. You're trained for a thriftial vision. If you 291 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 4: don't see, you gotta hurry up. 292 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 2: But you need to be running towards that ball anyway. 293 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 2: It just doesn't make sense, all right. So the fatal fifth, 294 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 2: that was it? Five on eurned runs. I'm not going 295 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 2: to uh. I just don't think that you can hang 296 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 2: that on your picture and blame Garrett Cole when when 297 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 2: they just, you know, the team just five on earned runs. 298 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 2: The Dodgers win the World Series on two sacrifice flies. 299 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 3: Let's just call it what it is. 300 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 2: They have two earned runs Anthony, two sacrifice flies. 301 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 3: All right. 302 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 2: Our guess is Jared Gamble, of course, the managing editor 303 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 2: of mlbbro dot com, of course, the contributor here on 304 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 2: uh inside the Parker with his foul or fair segment, 305 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 2: as he has done for the past four years or so. 306 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 3: How's it been four more than that? 307 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 4: I think it's been four. The World Series. The ratings 308 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 4: were great, by the way, but it definitely wasn't the 309 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 4: product that people will want to deceit. They wanted to 310 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 4: deceive they did. 311 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 2: I agree, but you know what, I think that we 312 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 2: are losing a little bit of a little bit of 313 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:17,640 Speaker 2: contexts because the first two games ended with the bases loaded, right, 314 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying, Like Freddie Freeman got the Grand 315 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 2: Slam and then Trevino flied out with two outs and 316 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 2: the bases loaded, you know, on a four to two game. 317 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 2: Like the scores weren't outrageous, but it didn't feel like 318 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 2: I agree with you. Didn't feel like the Yankees were 319 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,880 Speaker 2: in it, even though they were the last two at 320 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 2: bats in Game one and two. They lose Game three 321 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 2: four to two. They didn't get blown out nine to nothing, 322 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,199 Speaker 2: they lose four to two, but they just didn't feel 323 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,120 Speaker 2: like like they had anything or they could get any clutch. 324 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 4: Hits, right, and when you go down three to zero, yeah, 325 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 4: the war show. So let's just be honest. The Yankees 326 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 4: thought they didn't lay down. They at least they got 327 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 4: the game that hole. But Jazz, I believe hit below 328 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 4: two hundred. Everyone No one hit for the Yankees except 329 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 4: Stanton and you can't survive on you know, he's a 330 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,199 Speaker 4: he's a feast of famine type of hitter. So you 331 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,120 Speaker 4: can't survive on bombs all the time at this part 332 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,679 Speaker 4: of the year, and as far as fans go, you 333 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,919 Speaker 4: can't rely on your superstars to be hot for those 334 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 4: seven games, that those eleven games that it takes to 335 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 4: get to do the Championship serieson In the World Series, 336 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 4: we've seen throughout history great great players who were carried 337 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 4: by the Tommy Evans and the Max month Seeds. 338 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 2: Uh, even though even though Max Munsey didn't get any hits. 339 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,159 Speaker 2: But I know what you did in the bottom of 340 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 2: the order is what killed them. They got walks, they 341 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 2: got these blop singles like those are the out you 342 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 2: need to get And I agree, like those are the 343 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,679 Speaker 2: guys you gotta worry about. Edmunds was it was had 344 00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 2: eleven rbrs against the Mets like like and was the 345 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 2: NLCS MVP and and the Yankees. 346 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 3: If I would have told you before the series that 347 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 3: show he. 348 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 2: Would be two U two for eighteen or whatever he 349 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,400 Speaker 2: was and not driving and what he drove in one run, 350 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 2: maybe that that that they would lose the World Series 351 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 2: in five games. 352 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 3: You wouldn't believe it, Like he was a no show. 353 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 4: Well, I don't think he was a no show. Again, 354 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 4: maybe that's me giving him an out. I think the 355 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 4: separated shoulder, I mean he was Winston every single time 356 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:29,360 Speaker 4: he swung the back. 357 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 2: No, that's true after that, but even the first two 358 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:32,719 Speaker 2: games he didn't do anything. 359 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, he had a very slow start, but I don't 360 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 4: think it helped him for him to recover. 361 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:39,959 Speaker 3: You know, no, I agree with that. I didn't think 362 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:40,880 Speaker 3: he should have played. 363 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 4: The game impactful in this series, and so I don't 364 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 4: think this game was decided by the superstars. I think 365 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 4: it was good for baseball because it was decided by 366 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 4: the better baseball team. 367 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,439 Speaker 2: How about let's just go Dave Roberts gets his second 368 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 2: World Series. You know, there's a lot of question marks 369 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 2: about Dave Roberts. The Dodgers have had a lot of stumbles, 370 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 2: but even before the last two years, they got knocked 371 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 2: out in. 372 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 3: The first round, which a lot of people go down 373 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 3: on him. 374 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 2: No, no, no, I'm just saying, but now he's won 375 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,159 Speaker 2: a World Series the second round. I think that that 376 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 2: helps his his legacy in his career now to finally 377 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 2: escape that because I think had they lost, or if 378 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 2: they had lost to the Projects, there's no doubt he 379 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 2: would not have been the manager, because that would have 380 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 2: been three years in a row. But now he has 381 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,159 Speaker 2: a second World Series. That's something to be proud of 382 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:28,880 Speaker 2: in a legacy. 383 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, second black manager, second MLB bro of Ncito Gaston 384 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 4: went back to back with the Toronto Blue Jays back 385 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 4: in ninety two, ninety three. He has his second ring 386 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,919 Speaker 4: Dave Roberts. So I guess now the conversation can definitely stop. 387 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 4: He'll be in LA as long as I guess they 388 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:51,120 Speaker 4: want him there because world series are hard to win, 389 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 4: and if a guy's career or job security is based 390 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 4: on the fact that he can win a World Series, 391 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,919 Speaker 4: who I mean, I don't know I would survived that. 392 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,360 Speaker 2: It used to be like that, but they would want 393 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 2: to dusty out as soon as they won. I'm just 394 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 2: saying it did as soon as he won her like okay, good, 395 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:13,360 Speaker 2: all right, thank you, all right? 396 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,919 Speaker 3: You know, like it used to be like that, Like 397 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 3: Frank Vogel with the Lakers. He won a championship. 398 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,400 Speaker 2: A year and a half later, he they don't want him, 399 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 2: you know, like things have changed. 400 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:24,679 Speaker 3: It used to buy you time. 401 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,399 Speaker 2: I agree with you, and I think Dave Roberts has 402 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 2: with that team and that power, I think he's got 403 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 2: another four or five years. 404 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,400 Speaker 3: I do minimum minimum. 405 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,679 Speaker 4: I don't. I don't know if they win in those years. 406 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 4: Like he really needed this one, like right, really badly, 407 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 4: no doubt. I'm glad he got it, though, because a 408 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 4: guy that, come on, Robert, guy that averages what ninety 409 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 4: seven ninety wins a season, You can you can tell 410 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 4: me all about the stack teams and all the money spent. 411 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 4: That money thing only worked this year. I remember the 412 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 4: past five six years when they Yankees was not getting 413 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 4: in and the Dodgers were not getting in, people were saying, oh, yeah, 414 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 4: that's what see, you got to build. You got to 415 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 4: build from the farm system. You got to take a 416 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 4: couple of years. Now, all of a sudden they get 417 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 4: lucky and the two highs payrolls make it. And that 418 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 4: was a problem. Again, that's why I don't really study. Now. 419 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,360 Speaker 3: I'm with you on that. I think that people make 420 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,199 Speaker 3: too much of it. And you're right. The last fifteen 421 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 3: years told you all you need to know. 422 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 2: And last year Arizona and Texas Rangers were in the 423 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:32,680 Speaker 2: World Series. So it's not just financial. The Phillies look 424 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 2: at the money they've spent, they haven't won anything. 425 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 3: I mean it doesn't matter. All right, Let's go right here. 426 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 2: Last thing, where do you expect Juan Soto to wind up? 427 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 2: I've already admitted that I thought I made a mistake. 428 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,439 Speaker 2: I never thought he would get another four hundred and 429 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 2: forty million plus contract. Me and Jim Bowden, matter of fact, 430 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 2: had debated that on this podcast, the former GM. He 431 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 2: was vince that the kid would get paid. You know, 432 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,679 Speaker 2: it might be looking at six hundred million from some teams. 433 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,360 Speaker 2: Where do you think he's gonna wind up? 434 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 4: Well, I think we have to understand that it's really 435 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,119 Speaker 4: what the market requires. Right. We can't compare his contract 436 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 4: to the one judge received last year or the one 437 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,400 Speaker 4: someone received three four years ago, because we know, look 438 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,919 Speaker 4: at how you said how robust baseball is with abuse 439 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,640 Speaker 4: have been the raiders. That's money. These owners are bleeding 440 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 4: money now. Don't believe the hype anymore. 441 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 3: About baseball is alive and well and healthy. 442 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 4: We're losing money, no the TV deals. More people are 443 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:39,360 Speaker 4: watching baseball than probably in the last twenty years. More 444 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,919 Speaker 4: black people are coming back to the game than ever now. 445 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 4: So Soto's gonna get at least six hundred million, But 446 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 4: how many suitors are really gonna pay him six hundred million. 447 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:53,679 Speaker 3: I'll give you, yeah, I'll give you. 448 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 2: I think the Mets, the Yankees, the San Francisco Giants. 449 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 2: They say that Toronto Blue Jays have money and the 450 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,719 Speaker 2: dark course, which I don't think is gonna happen, but 451 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,679 Speaker 2: they have money. The Detroit Tigers. Do you know the 452 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 2: Detroit Tigers payroll for next year? You know what their 453 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 2: payroll is? Twenty million is what they have on the books, 454 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,159 Speaker 2: So they have an empty they have. So if they 455 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 2: gave him sixty or sixty five million, that would make 456 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 2: their payroll eighty five you know what I mean? Like, 457 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,679 Speaker 2: they still would be within budget if they wanted to 458 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 2: spend one hundred and fifty million or something like that, 459 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:28,879 Speaker 2: or one hundred and twenty million. 460 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 4: But that's up to him, right, because he wants He 461 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 4: might want the whole six hundred million, right like like no. 462 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 3: No, I mean that. Oh yeah, I'm just saying. 463 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,120 Speaker 2: But the Tigers, because all those big contracts came off 464 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 2: their books. Oh, they could put it, god it right, Yeah, 465 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,119 Speaker 2: they have sixty million. 466 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 4: Of all the teams that you mentioned, I think he 467 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:53,159 Speaker 4: would elevate the Tigers the most because they have some 468 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 4: great young talent. That is a team that has built 469 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 4: through the farm system. 470 00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,959 Speaker 3: They got they got, they got an ace pitcher in school. 471 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 4: They have several very good pictures even in the minor 472 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 4: leagues as well, and guys that can really throw. Losing 473 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 4: flowerty hurt. I think he has to be replaced. That's 474 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 4: that's a great one too. You have to have that 475 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,640 Speaker 4: great one two to really be successful. But Sodo might 476 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 4: just go to the Mets. You know why, because the 477 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,440 Speaker 4: Mets have the deepest pockets in MLB, they have the 478 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 4: richest owner, and he likes to make big splashes. He 479 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,160 Speaker 4: feels like he came close. And you know what, Rob, 480 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,640 Speaker 4: you add one Sodo to the Mets next year, they 481 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 4: have to be the favorites to come out of if 482 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 4: they can add one more arm them in the and 483 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 4: a revitalized Braves team with all of their players. My 484 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 4: neck and neck, I think the Phillies fall fall next year. 485 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 3: All right. He is JR. Gamble from mlbbro. 486 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 2: Dot com, the managing editor of course, contributor here on 487 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 2: Inside the Parker. 488 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 3: And have another and I know, unbelievable, another one in 489 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 3: the books. Here we go. 490 00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 4: It went so quick. 491 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:06,640 Speaker 1: Thanks up, the luck Ron now bringing the closer. Here's 492 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 1: why MLB is better than the NFL or NBA, and 493 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: it isn't even close. 494 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,640 Speaker 2: Reason number one and fifty nine why Major League Baseball 495 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 2: is better than the NBA and the NFL. It's just 496 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 2: the drama of the postseason. People talk about it all 497 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 2: the time. Baseball games are different in October than they 498 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 2: are during the regular season, where every pitch counts, every 499 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 2: yet bad, You watch the game just differently. You know, 500 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 2: a ball outside that could have been strike three means 501 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:47,400 Speaker 2: so much more. In the postseason, walks count more if 502 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,119 Speaker 2: you make an error or a mistake. It's just the 503 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 2: drama is heightened. And we saw this in this five 504 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 2: game series. Despite the fact that the Dodgers won four 505 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 2: games to one, there was just so much drama. The 506 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:04,119 Speaker 2: first two games ended with the bases loaded in the 507 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 2: last inning, and all these games came down to moments, situations, 508 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:14,399 Speaker 2: and circumstances. It's just great drama and theater. Baseball remains that, 509 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 2: and I think that's the fabric of the game that 510 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 2: makes it different. 511 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 3: From the other sports. 512 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,680 Speaker 2: The other sports have their moment, but I don't think 513 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,400 Speaker 2: they have the drama that comes with a baseball game 514 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 2: when it comes to the postseason. In the words of 515 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 2: New York TV legend the late Bill Jorgensen, thanking you 516 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 2: for your time this time until next time. 517 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 3: Rob Parker out d K Gavin.
