World Series Game 2 Recap · The 3-0 Take

• 0:00
  Ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the Three O Take,
• 0:03
  where we talk all things Major League Baseball.
• 0:06
  Here's Kyle Corwin and Nate Reyes.
• 0:10
  It. All starts right now.
• 0:15
  Welcome back to the three O take percent by C kick.
• 0:17
  This is episode 481. I'll be your host, Kyle Cord,
• 0:20
  and I'm here with my Co host Nate Reyes.
• 0:26
  Nate. We stink.
• 0:30
  We stink. You don't stink.
• 0:33
  We stink. We stink.
• 0:35
  You suck. You guys suck, but you don't
• 0:39
  stink. And you know you, you understand
• 0:43
  fully what I'm saying. It makes perfect sense.
• 0:45
  You suck, but you guys don't stink.
• 0:50
  You know who does stink? Oh, Captain, my captain.
• 0:56
  I don't want to hear another word out of you about Aaron
• 0:59
  Judge for the rest of this series.
• 1:00
  I don't care what he does. I can I just go ahead and start
• 1:04
  us off with a a hot take here? I'm sure it's going to be hot.
• 1:11
  I pinned tonight's loss solely on the shoulders of Aaron Judge.
• 1:17
  Go ahead, laugh. Go ahead, laugh.
• 1:22
  But he did nothing, absolutely nothing.
• 1:28
  And for him to man, we're just diving right into it for him to
• 1:40
  essentially put the burden on the shoulders of the other guys
• 1:45
  in that line up to which they did pretty much nothing short of
• 1:49
  Juan Soto before getting to the 9th.
• 1:53
  Obviously, you, you just got to be better.
• 1:57
  You just have you, you got to be better.
• 1:59
  I mean, what is he now in the in the postseason, or at least the
• 2:04
  the the last two games he's one for one for 166 for. 46 for 39,
• 2:11
  something like that. I'm waiting for him to heat up.
• 2:16
  I don't. I don't know if it's coming.
• 2:20
  Yeah, he's looking worse. And I was I was willing to hear
• 2:24
  you about his, his AB starting to look a little bit better.
• 2:27
  I mean, I was I was kind of writing a bit early on in the
• 2:30
  post season like, ah, the guy doesn't matter.
• 2:32
  He's still he's still creating outs, but the at bats just
• 2:38
  aren't aren't looking better at all.
• 2:39
  He's not we're not seeing loud contact.
• 2:42
  We're seeing worse. We're seeing just flails at the
• 2:46
  plate. Yeah.
• 2:49
  All right, I'm off my soapbox. I feel like I I feel like an
• 2:52
  angry parent, like. That's our game to recap.
• 2:55
  Talking down to his kid after he brings him a bad grade from
• 2:58
  school. Thanks for hanging out with us.
• 3:00
  We'll see you guys on Monday. That's it dude.
• 3:03
  Like the what else is there to talk about?
• 3:06
  So you do you agree with. That I got to yeah.
• 3:08
  He looks worse. Yeah, no.
• 3:09
  No, but in terms of who, who's to blame for the for the loss?
• 3:13
  Tonight. No, it's no, it's all of it.
• 3:15
  It's, it's all of it. It's all of it.
• 3:19
  It's it's a lack of approach. It's, it's somehow Yamamoto
• 3:27
  eventually found the fastball command at the end, like the at
• 3:31
  the bottom part of the zone eventually, but everything down
• 3:37
  was being swung at. Everything down splitters down,
• 3:42
  sliders down. It didn't matter.
• 3:44
  They were just swinging. And it's almost like the the
• 3:50
  game plan or like the the script that everyone keeps saying is,
• 3:54
  oh, I hope we just get 4 out of Yamamoto.
• 3:58
  And it was like once he got to four, the Yankees were like,
• 4:00
  great, he's almost out. Let's just start swinging.
• 4:02
  Let's just start getting to him. And next thing you knew he's
• 4:06
  through 6 and you're like, have an approach.
• 4:13
  Oh, it's so hard to watch. And this is what I was telling
• 4:20
  you. It's it's I said if you get the
• 4:28
  best Yankees and the best version of the Dodgers, this
• 4:32
  will be an incredible World Series.
• 4:34
  And you're not getting the best version of the Yankees and.
• 4:36
  This is an incredible World Series, which is what I was
• 4:39
  telling you last night is like as a Yankee fan and and Yankee
• 4:43
  fans everywhere. Like it's well, this was more
• 4:47
  after last night. I didn't, I didn't anticipate
• 4:49
  you guys going down 2O in the style that you've done or in the
• 4:52
  style that you have. But like the fact that it's
• 4:55
  still been an entertaining World Series, the fact that we're
• 4:58
  collectively as a baseball world are sweating on the edge of our
• 5:01
  seats in the 9th inning when, like you said, we're not seeing
• 5:05
  the best version of the Yankees. That tells you like kind of
• 5:09
  what's within reach. And to use Aaron, Aaron Boone's
• 5:12
  phrase, it's right there in front of us like I'm.
• 5:18
  Going to kill someone if I hear that phrase again.
• 5:21
  It's within reach. I'm trying.
• 5:24
  Like I know for me it's tough, but I'm like, I'm trying to
• 5:27
  encourage the Yankee fans out there by like, you're not
• 5:33
  playing your best baseball right now and you've come essentially
• 5:37
  2 innings worth of baseball. You've come within two innings
• 5:41
  of actually being up two games to none right now.
• 5:49
  Man, Rodon stunk. That was rough.
• 5:57
  If I hear Smoltz, call him Rondo and again, like dude, can we
• 6:01
  guess? The other thing, that was
• 6:03
  literally just three hours of Dodger glazing.
• 6:05
  And I get that. Like, I understand the Yankees
• 6:08
  didn't have a good game. I understand that it was, it
• 6:12
  wasn't really competitive until the 9th inning, but Oh my.
• 6:20
  Just glazing over, glazing over, glazing over and over and over.
• 6:28
  This is what I told you yesterday.
• 6:30
  This is the problem with this booth.
• 6:32
  I I've actually been a Smoltz supporter.
• 6:37
  I think Joe Davis is great, but it's like it's so over the top
• 6:44
  anti Yankees and it's smacking you in the face while they're
• 6:50
  losing and it's brutal. Anyway, bullpen look good.
• 6:58
  Bullpen I'm impressed. I'm impressed.
• 7:01
  I I thought, I thought Jake Cousins look good.
• 7:05
  Both pens look good. I thought Tim Hill look good.
• 7:07
  I thought, I thought, you know, Clay Holmes continues to look
• 7:11
  good. Like I was impressed.
• 7:14
  That's that's all you can hope for is to just kind of keep them
• 7:18
  at Bay and and keep your offense at A at a point where they have
• 7:22
  a shot. But man, dude, it's and sitting
• 7:27
  there watching with Paige and she's like, it's, she's like, I
• 7:31
  kind of hate them because they suck and then they give you a
• 7:35
  little bit of hope and then they suck again.
• 7:38
  And the Dodgers are just consistent.
• 7:40
  And I'm like, yes, that's the you just described.
• 7:43
  That's a wrap. That's a wrap.
• 7:45
  That's it. That's what I've been living for
• 7:49
  this last 180 games or whatever it is.
• 7:53
  It's it's it's tough, man. It's tough.
• 7:59
  It's tough. Well, let's talk about some
• 8:02
  positives here on behalf of the. Let's continue to Dodger Glaze.
• 8:05
  Let's just keep the. Yeah, I mean.
• 8:08
  The Broad. Yeah, give credit where credit's
• 8:09
  due. Like I can't.
• 8:11
  I'm not saying that they're not I'm, I'm not saying they're
• 8:13
  wrong, but it's just. Yeah, I mean, I mean.
• 8:17
  Every little thing. Sure, but like how much can you
• 8:20
  expect that? Like how how?
• 8:22
  How much do you want them to praise the Yankees when they're
• 8:31
  the team that's down to games tonight?
• 8:33
  I'm just saying like say, say something.
• 8:37
  Else, Nate, it's just. Only talking like you can say
• 8:41
  other things you could bring up, like you could bring up comeback
• 8:44
  victories from the Yankees throughout the year.
• 8:46
  You could come you bring up stats from like what their
• 8:50
  offense does from the 7th inning on.
• 8:51
  Like there was none of that. There's none of that.
• 8:54
  It's just and every time they go to a break, they're like Dodgers
• 8:56
  trying to take a 2O series lead. And it's like everything is like
• 9:00
  pro dodgers. And I'm, I'm not saying that the
• 9:04
  Yankees played well enough to deserve any type of praise.
• 9:07
  I'm just saying try to be somewhat neutral.
• 9:17
  Hear me out though. I don't want to.
• 9:22
  Juan Soto leads off the 9th with the ball off the wall as a
• 9:28
  second hit of the game. You know what else that was?
• 9:35
  That was the Yankees second hit of the game.
• 9:38
  I'm aware. With that reality in mind, how
• 9:43
  much can you expect them to come to bat for the Yankees?
• 9:49
  Like I, I, I, I'll hear you out. I'll agree with you on the fact
• 9:52
  that like, OK, maybe pull some pull from from some statistical
• 9:57
  archives about like maybe what they're capable of doing in the
• 10:00
  9th or or what they've done in in past.
• 10:03
  But like comments, there was nothing.
• 10:04
  But in the present moment, I I understand why why it might be a
• 10:08
  challenge to look at the very, very lackluster.
• 10:13
  Yeah, I won't even say Yankees offense, just Yankees team at
• 10:15
  this point. And and try to feel and have
• 10:19
  this sense that you have to talk them up because it's shit.
• 10:24
  It's just kind of hard right now.
• 10:26
  Just kind of hard I. Hear you.
• 10:29
  He ain't just getting railed the chat, by the way.
• 10:31
  No, it's sorry. Hard for the course.
• 10:34
  I'm sorry, it's just I, I don't have control over the comments
• 10:39
  that go up, Nate. I hope you.
• 10:43
  Hope you recognize that. That's why we're here.
• 10:46
  There's. Somebody in the in the weeds
• 10:48
  that's that's at sharing adding these comments to the to the
• 10:51
  stream. I don't, I don't know what.
• 10:53
  To tell you there's not so many Yankee fans willing to go in
• 10:55
  front of a camera right now, by the way, so.
• 10:57
  Hey, you know what? Talk.
• 10:58
  You guys can talk all you want in the comments section and I'm
• 11:01
  here. I'm owning it.
• 11:02
  I'm wearing this one on the chin in public.
• 11:09
  I got to get some claps on here. Give me, give me the crickets.
• 11:15
  At least can I have the crickets?
• 11:19
  In in lieu of the claps, since I got to add the claps to the
• 11:22
  soundboard, I'll give you the John Kenzie Noel Spanish
• 11:25
  broadcast. No, no, no.
• 11:40
  Well done mate. I'm about to sign off for the
• 11:45
  last time on this podcast. I I don't have AI, don't have
• 12:07
  claps on the soundboard. That was the best I could do.
• 12:09
  Yeah, I'm sure. Anyway, no, but talking about
• 12:15
  the positives here on behalf of the Dodgers, Yamamoto, we got to
• 12:20
  talk. Yamamoto start like this is what
• 12:25
  the Dodgers paid this man for. Yeah. 12 years, 325 million.
• 12:30
  Don't forget it. He showed up, man.
• 12:35
  He showed up. There's a lot of less
• 12:37
  speculation coming into the series talking about like, who's
• 12:40
  going to be who's going to be the guy you can rely on more
• 12:44
  based on recent history. Jack Flaherty.
• 12:48
  Yamamoto. Jack Flaherty gave him every
• 12:52
  reason to believe that that he was the right pick last night.
• 12:55
  But Yamamoto was like, hey, don't forget about me.
• 12:59
  That that was a true. Command True command of three
• 13:04
  pitches. True command of the fastball,
• 13:08
  which took 2-3 innings to find, but definitely true command of
• 13:13
  the splitter and slider. Like everything was excellent.
• 13:19
  It's the length, man. That's what's most impressive.
• 13:22
  Like command, certainly important, and some might argue
• 13:25
  that that was even more impressive.
• 13:27
  But for me, just looking at the stat sheet, the fact that he
• 13:30
  gets you into the 7th again. That's why I said like, game one
• 13:35
  was the most important game for the Yankees.
• 13:38
  Game one, getting to Flaherty, getting to the bullpen was the
• 13:40
  most important thing they could have done.
• 13:42
  You got length out of Flaherty. You got length out of Yamamoto.
• 13:46
  And now the what is it Game three or Game 4?
• 13:50
  The Yankees are, or excuse me, the Dodgers are planning on
• 13:52
  doing their bullpen game like Bueller's.
• 13:55
  Going Game 3? Yeah, they have more game four
• 13:58
  if they want. I don't even know if they may
• 14:00
  just roll Flaherty back out there if they're up 30.
• 14:04
  I don't know, but like it, it's this is this is this is exactly
• 14:13
  what the Dodgers we're hoping for.
• 14:17
  This is picture perfect start minus hopefully.
• 14:24
  Hopefully there's nothing with Otani like I hope there's
• 14:26
  nothing to worry about having much there.
• 14:29
  Haven't even mentioned that, but, well, I might as well talk
• 14:34
  about it now. Yeah, I mean, Fast forward to
• 14:37
  later in the game, this this goes down and there's just a
• 14:41
  collective silence that falls over Dodger Stadium and you
• 14:49
  pretty much anybody else watching that's not a Yankees
• 14:51
  fan. They're sitting there going
• 14:53
  I'll, I'll. And I'll, I'll say this as a
• 14:56
  Yankees fan, if there's any Yankees fan cheering about that,
• 14:59
  I, that's, it's disgusting. I don't want to win that way.
• 15:03
  Like I have no interest in the Yankees winning that way.
• 15:06
  I, I want the Yankees to beat the best.
• 15:11
  Like if they win, it's because they beat the best, not because
• 15:15
  Otani wasn't available. So I don't want Otani missing
• 15:18
  anything. I don't want him hurting at all.
• 15:21
  I want him fully healthy. I want him giving him I wanted
• 15:24
  him giving the, you know, the best competitive ABS and, and,
• 15:30
  you know, base running that he can give and shoulders are
• 15:33
  weird, man. Shoulders are very, very weird.
• 15:39
  I really hope everything's OK. We heard on the I think there
• 15:44
  were reports the notifications coming through because he either
• 15:48
  he was miked up or the interpreter was miked up.
• 15:52
  But whoever ran out to him while he was laying on the ground at
• 15:55
  2nd, they were talking in Japanese.
• 15:59
  And then like I think Joe Davis said that they heard on the
• 16:03
  Japanese broadcast that he was still, Tony was saying it was
• 16:07
  his shoulder. It was his shoulder.
• 16:09
  So I was like, wrist is scary. I think wrist is scarier than
• 16:13
  the shoulder. If that wrist goes like in any
• 16:17
  which way, that's really not good.
• 16:20
  I feel like a shoulder, you can pop it in, you can kind of
• 16:22
  manage, I don't know. Well, did you see the slide when
• 16:26
  it happened? They showed the replay and his
• 16:28
  his palm just planted into the ground and did not give
• 16:33
  whatsoever. That's.
• 16:34
  Weird that like shoulders just don't need a whole lot.
• 16:37
  They just don't need much to to pop out and shoulders are very
• 16:43
  like. Strange because I had a shoulder
• 16:44
  injury senior year of high school where the coolest
• 16:50
  explanation of it was like my doctor explained it.
• 16:53
  Your shoulders like a ball on a tee, like a golf ball on a tee.
• 16:57
  And then your tendons are going from the ball to the tee.
• 17:01
  And if your shoulder slides out and it pops out, it stretches
• 17:06
  those tendons. So if it pops out, it's more
• 17:09
  likely to pop out again until you either have surgery or rehab
• 17:14
  those tendons to tighten up. So the fact that it happened,
• 17:18
  obviously surgery isn't an option.
• 17:20
  Obviously rehab isn't an option. Like you got to kind of worry
• 17:23
  about another slide or a violent swing that could aggravate it,
• 17:30
  which sucks, which really does suck because like, I want this
• 17:36
  World Series to have all the stars at full health doing their
• 17:40
  thing and just hope it's negative, you know, negative
• 17:45
  results and and nothing to worry about day off the heel.
• 17:49
  Hope it's all good. Speaking of negative results,
• 17:52
  let's revisit this Rodon outing. What was it?
• 17:58
  3 bombs on the night? Tommy had been solo Homer, Tay
• 18:01
  O2 run Homer, kicking off that campaign for World Series MVP.
• 18:06
  Still got a little ways to go, but.
• 18:09
  Right now, Freddy's in the lead for that, I believe.
• 18:11
  Right now, Freddy's in the lead, but you know, a couple more
• 18:13
  bops. Maybe we're talking Tay, Oscar
• 18:17
  and then back-to-back. You mentioned Freddie follows up
• 18:22
  with a back-to-back solo home run.
• 18:24
  Both of those took place in the 3rd and he just did.
• 18:28
  Rodon just did not look great. It's all fastballs too.
• 18:32
  Like he's really stubborn with his fastball and he we've seen
• 18:37
  99100 out of him in past, but like he's just not that guy
• 18:41
  anymore. But he still has that mentality.
• 18:45
  His slider is great. Like he's got a premier slider.
• 18:50
  It's just you kind of overdo it with the fastball at times and
• 18:54
  you challenge hitters and you just don't have the Velo to
• 18:58
  challenge the way he used to. And that's what it was.
• 19:02
  That's that's what he's done all year.
• 19:05
  It's what he did all last year too.
• 19:06
  Like I know it's been a better year.
• 19:08
  I know he's had a couple decent starts in the postseason, but
• 19:13
  this was not great. Was it 4 and a third?
• 19:15
  Like it's just. Three and a third.
• 19:18
  Three and a third. Not good.
• 19:21
  Not good Which? That that very point and it it
• 19:24
  goes without saying that I'm not I'm not sharing anything that's
• 19:27
  that isn't already obvious. But it goes back to the
• 19:30
  beginning of this series when we were talking about the
• 19:33
  importance of specifically for the Yankees, Cole and Rodon
• 19:37
  being able to give you that length because those are two
• 19:39
  guys that Cole more so. But two, those are two guys that
• 19:43
  you you need to bank on, you need to rely on to in in terms
• 19:47
  of giving you innings so that you don't have to tap into
• 19:52
  these, these leverage relievers and give these Dodgers who are
• 19:56
  already ready to feast more, more looks at these guys.
• 20:00
  Because that's going to come back to bite you later in the
• 20:02
  series when you're already down. Cole's length was cut short from
• 20:07
  Boone and Rodon's length cut short from himself.
• 20:13
  Which the cold decision we didn't really, we didn't really
• 20:16
  focus on, yeah, I mean we didn't cover it, but that maybe is
• 20:21
  because we neither of us felt particularly strong about that.
• 20:24
  Or do you feel like a day removed now from it?
• 20:27
  Do you do you feel like that was maybe not the right call?
• 20:29
  Day removed. Was it 88 pitches?
• 20:31
  Like, yeah, that's what I'm saying, though, that that was
• 20:37
  the conversation of like the way Boone uses these relievers to
• 20:42
  steal outs to get the last out of an inning, sit down, come
• 20:47
  back out. Like he he loves that he does
• 20:50
  that with all of his relievers, which I hate.
• 20:54
  I hate. I feel like there's no stat in
• 20:58
  the world that's saying that's a good thing for relievers, but if
• 21:04
  you get one more out of coal like that doesn't need to happen
• 21:08
  and then you're not relying on a Nestor in the 10th for the first
• 21:13
  time and ever. Anyway, Now we have multiple
• 21:21
  relievers that have been seen, like you said, like multiple
• 21:24
  looks. They're up to O and they've
• 21:25
  gotten looks and you saw I know we're going to wrap up Rodon,
• 21:31
  but you saw what Blake Chinon like what did they say?
• 21:35
  27 pitches last night, another 30 plus pitches tonight.
• 21:40
  Like you can see what that does. Like even in a loss, the Yankees
• 21:44
  were able to put put together good ABS.
• 21:47
  You had the same part of the order.
• 21:49
  See him again. These are things that like you
• 21:52
  don't see in the scorebook. They're not going to be in
• 21:54
  headlines. They're not a part of articles,
• 21:56
  but these are things that impact the rest of the seven game set.
• 22:00
  Kid nose ball. Thanks bro.
• 22:03
  Kid nose ball. Hey, found it.
• 22:06
  No, but to wrap up the book here on Rodon, Justin Havens on
• 22:12
  Twitter. Carlos Rodon is the first
• 22:13
  Yankees pitcher to allow three plus homers in a World Series
• 22:16
  game since Catfish Hunter in Game Three in 1977.
• 22:19
  Not exactly. First Yankees pitcher.
• 22:24
  Oh, I'm sorry, I was just the first pitcher.
• 22:26
  No. No.
• 22:27
  Yeah. First Yankees pitcher to allow
• 22:28
  three plus homers in a World Series game since Catfish Hunter
• 22:30
  in Game three in 1977. Great name to have company with.
• 22:34
  But in that context, not the not the company you want to have.
• 22:38
  But you know, the a a thought here though on on Rodon's outing
• 22:45
  and really the last couple, I guess going back to the that DS
• 22:49
  start against the Royals where he was just acting like a nut on
• 22:53
  the mound. Burning himself out after one
• 22:55
  thing one time through. Well, they talked about on the
• 22:57
  broadcast tonight. How he, I, I mean, I don't know
• 23:02
  if they can confirm this. I don't know if he's addressed
• 23:04
  this in part particularly, but. I know where they're going.
• 23:08
  They said that he tried to model himself more after Garrett Cole
• 23:14
  in terms of being a robot. And that has he has and we, we
• 23:17
  we took note of that in the starts following that start
• 23:21
  against the the Royals. We were like, you know, it seems
• 23:24
  like he's dialed it back a little bit and he did the same
• 23:26
  thing tonight. But I just it I clearly that's
• 23:29
  not the fix he needs to be making or the OR the change I
• 23:31
  don't need to be making be. Yourself, weirdo.
• 23:34
  You're so weird to be your own human self.
• 23:39
  The the royal start was very like, he was like Uber amped.
• 23:45
  I'm like the OK. You're not that guy.
• 23:46
  Either you're not that guy either, but you're also not
• 23:48
  Garrett Cole like is is as annoying as I think Garrett Cole
• 23:52
  can be at times just watching him and just being Kermit all
• 23:55
  the time. I can acknowledge that like he's
• 23:58
  just like he's that guy that just dials it in, locks it in,
• 24:02
  doesn't really want to always himself, doesn't want to have
• 24:04
  anything to do with anybody else.
• 24:07
  And and it it works for him. But Carlos Rodin has not, at
• 24:11
  least this postseason. I won't say he hasn't found his
• 24:14
  identity, but he he has lost it and is maybe still still looking
• 24:20
  for it and. Another thing that doesn't show
• 24:23
  up then anything sexy in the box score but that started with A2
• 24:26
  out knock for Mookie. That inning started with that.
• 24:34
  It's this lineup is stupid. I mean, Will Smith hitting what,
• 24:41
  7th, 8th, roping a ball dead center, putting a dent in the
• 24:46
  wall. Like it's relentless, dude.
• 24:51
  And I'm not here to like act like I'm any better than Rodon,
• 24:56
  but like this is a brutal lineup.
• 25:01
  This is one of the, I think we're going to look back 1520
• 25:06
  years from now and do those like weird double takes like where
• 25:11
  you're like, they were on the same team, These guys were on
• 25:16
  the same team. It's I'm telling you, dude, the
• 25:19
  depth and we've said this time and time again, this lineup is
• 25:25
  so deep. You've got Tom Yedmin coming out
• 25:28
  tonight having a couple knock. I mean, he had the, he had the
• 25:31
  home run couple knocks, Tay Oscar, like we mentioned,
• 25:35
  starting to heat up a little. Bit lefty killers, both of those
• 25:38
  guys. Both both guys had two hits on
• 25:41
  the night combined to go 4 for eight on the night.
• 25:44
  I mean, if if you get guys like that and and I say guys like
• 25:47
  that, obviously Tommy, but they're not the dudes, right?
• 25:50
  That's that's what I'm saying. I mean, you've got Tommy Edmond
• 25:52
  who has been hot, but I'm saying like if you've got these guys
• 25:57
  taking advantage of your best options on the mound, it's it's
• 26:00
  you may as well just pack it up. That's what that's The thing is
• 26:03
  that like you can look at Rodon and be like, oh, maybe he
• 26:05
  neutralizes Freddy. Maybe he neutralizes Otani.
• 26:11
  OK, the rest of the righties in the lineup are going to get you.
• 26:14
  Like it's like it just doesn't matter.
• 26:16
  Do that. Go ahead and neutralize those
• 26:18
  guys, but you got to worry about three through 9, I guess, or 6
• 26:24
  through 5 through 9, whatever. Dodge's lineup, man, it's
• 26:30
  unbelievable. But talking about the relievers,
• 26:33
  though, Tim Hill to be exact, You, you got to find the sick
• 26:38
  twisted humor and him coming out and just, Oh yeah, handling his
• 26:42
  business 24 hours after, you know, the, the, the questionable
• 26:48
  call of questionable calls. Yep.
• 26:51
  That's some sick, twisted humor for Yankee fans.
• 26:55
  I mean, the the most predictable outcome, that was like there,
• 27:00
  there was only one outcome. When Tim Hill comes into the
• 27:03
  game, that was the only thing that was happening.
• 27:05
  Super predictable. Yep.
• 27:08
  Yeah. Impressive from the bullpen,
• 27:11
  gave gave their team a shot and you know that's all you can ask
• 27:16
  for. And the fact that the inning let
• 27:18
  off with Soto just gave me enough.
• 27:25
  Enough hope to scoot to the edge of my seat and lean forward.
• 27:30
  And yeah. Well, let's, let's talk about
• 27:32
  that. Let's talk about that 9th inning
• 27:34
  because admittedly I was, I had a little bit of game one
• 27:38
  hangover where I'm like, man, I guess it's good.
• 27:41
  This is good, entertaining baseball.
• 27:43
  Game was not great until this point.
• 27:45
  Yeah, I was like, it's not a blowout, but like, you know, we,
• 27:48
  we've obviously seen, we've seen better games, but you know, it's
• 27:52
  it's it's within reach. So I'm going to stay dialed in.
• 27:55
  I watched the whole thing, obviously, but it wasn't until
• 27:58
  that final inning where I'm like.
• 28:01
  Are. Are we about to see a, a, a
• 28:04
  punch back in response to last night from the Yankees here?
• 28:08
  And I mean, they load the bases and Meredith looks over at me
• 28:11
  and she's like, honestly, I, I kind of just want to see him do
• 28:14
  it just just for the sake of the series.
• 28:17
  I'm like. I'm with you.
• 28:19
  Economy too, I'm not going to lie, just for just for
• 28:22
  entertainment value. You remember what I said last
• 28:25
  night when we were talking about Nestor and him being on the
• 28:28
  roster and him being used and who was dropped?
• 28:34
  And you, John? Birdie and I told you that there
• 28:37
  was going to be a moment in this game where you would need a
• 28:39
  veteran at bat from Alrighty and this was it.
• 28:43
  And no disrespect to Jose Trevino, not John Birdie.
• 28:49
  I'm. Not into that 1 though.
• 28:51
  It was, it was, it was almost like a little ambush.
• 28:54
  Like I'm going, I know I'm getting a heater right away.
• 28:56
  It's bases loaded. Like let me try to get it.
• 28:59
  Then he put put good wood on it. But like John Birdie, you traded
• 29:04
  for John Birdie. Like you made that move to have
• 29:09
  that veteran peace, to have the versatility in the infield to
• 29:14
  provide good ABS against lefties.
• 29:20
  And that to me was a John Birdie moment.
• 29:25
  And you don't have them because you want to, Nestor.
• 29:33
  There's mismanagement smudged all over this thing, man.
• 29:37
  Oh, I mean based on what you're. Saying not to sit here and say
• 29:40
  that John Birdie was going to come clutch and, you know, come
• 29:42
  through with a knock, but I personally like, I would rather
• 29:46
  have John Birdie hitting than a Jose Trevino.
• 29:51
  That's fair. And if I'm, I mean if I'm
• 29:54
  tracking with what you're saying, which I agree with by
• 29:57
  the way, like would certainly be beneficial to have John Birdie
• 30:01
  and at least as an option in that situation.
• 30:03
  Speed, like can there's a lot that he can provide.
• 30:07
  There's a lot that he brings to the table.
• 30:08
  And I'm not saying you don't have Trevino, you got to have a
• 30:10
  backup catcher, but that's not where the moment comes down to.
• 30:15
  And we've watched back-to-back games of moments coming down to
• 30:19
  one AB and it's not the guy. Nestor's not the guy for that
• 30:28
  moment. Jose Trevino is not the guy for
• 30:31
  that moment. And I'm not going to sit here
• 30:34
  and say that John Birdie is freaking Rodger Maris, but like,
• 30:40
  you brought him in to provide a veteran at bat against lefties
• 30:45
  and he's not available. It's a ripple effect, man.
• 30:50
  The the decision to bring on Rodon and leave Birdie off the
• 30:55
  off the roster or Britt leave to bring Nestor on board and to
• 31:00
  leave Bertie off. That Nestor decision has you
• 31:05
  could argue has had an impact on both games to this point.
• 31:08
  And he didn't even pitch in Game 2.
• 31:09
  Yep, Yep. Yeah.
• 31:16
  Give me a scale. Scale one to 1010 being.
• 31:21
  Go ahead Grand Slam or I'm sorry, 10 being go ahead and win
• 31:29
  the game. How likely did you think a win
• 31:38
  was with it within reach and that ninth because I thought I.
• 31:43
  Was at like a four to be honest, because I thought that Trevino
• 31:48
  is decent against lefties, don't get me wrong.
• 31:51
  And he has had some clutch moments.
• 31:52
  He's notable for like a, you know, little humpback liner over
• 31:59
  the second baseman kind of thing.
• 32:03
  But even that happening, Jazz was on 2nd, right?
• 32:08
  So it'll likely would have been a tie game for any kind of any
• 32:12
  kind of hit. But Verdugo coming up right
• 32:16
  after that against Vesia, I mean, it was start.
• 32:21
  It was starting to get that build up and the Rizzo at bat.
• 32:25
  Really, it got me fired up because like I love that I in a
• 32:30
  day where no one wears it, no one wears it and I know that
• 32:37
  sucker hurt dude. I know that thing.
• 32:39
  Oh. Yeah, I was he.
• 32:40
  Wasn't even giving high fives with that arm when he came back
• 32:43
  to the dug. I was giving high fives with the
• 32:44
  other hand. I know that thing hurt and that
• 32:47
  I that just felt like such a such an old school baseball
• 32:52
  moment and I was starting to feel it, but I was probably out
• 32:56
  like a four or five because I just, there's no bench, there's
• 33:00
  no depth, nothing there. Because you opted for Nestor,
• 33:08
  who has good numbers against Otani as a starter through the
• 33:14
  regular season. Sick.
• 33:20
  It's a great a decision, yeah. Any who's?
• 33:25
  Yeah, I, I mean, obviously all the credit in the world to the
• 33:30
  Dodgers for for doing what they did to go up two games and none,
• 33:32
  but also credit to credit to those few ABS Yeah, in the night
• 33:39
  there for the Yankees. I mean that those are some some
• 33:42
  professional at bats for sure. I think I noticed Jazz scoot up
• 33:46
  in the box a little bit off of training.
• 33:49
  Did you? I think he scooted up just a
• 33:51
  hair to be able to get to that slider.
• 33:53
  I was impressed by that. I love that.
• 33:56
  That's old school, too. Go get up there in front of the
• 33:59
  break. I like that a lot.
• 34:02
  Yeah. Good ABS.
• 34:05
  I the versatility. Like, I think there's so many
• 34:11
  positive things to say about the Dodgers.
• 34:13
  And you can look past all the superstars, but when you look at
• 34:18
  a Tommy Edmond starting at shortstop game one and then
• 34:23
  starting at center field Game 2. But Gavin Lux taking a seat off
• 34:29
  of a lefty starter, Miguel Rojas coming back like you, you just I
• 34:35
  feel like Dave Roberts's job has never been easier.
• 34:40
  It's never been easier to just have these pieces that you can
• 34:43
  slide O lefty on the bump to start the game.
• 34:47
  Let's slide Lux outlet's move Kike down to 2nd move Tommy to
• 34:51
  to center. Miguel comes in like they're
• 34:55
  just the it's such an incredibly well thought out roster.
• 35:00
  I mean, just you're seeing Tommy, Edmund Garrett crochet
• 35:03
  like deadline moves make huge impacts on this team.
• 35:09
  And again, that's like it's looking past the obvious super
• 35:13
  stardom. So yeah.
• 35:20
  I just saw, I just saw the news that Shohei Otani has suffered
• 35:26
  what they're ruling a subluxation of his left
• 35:30
  shoulder. Suffered only partial
• 35:33
  dislocation. Yeah.
• 35:38
  Day off, Yeah. I feel like you can bounce back
• 35:44
  from that now. I think so.
• 35:46
  I think so. I mean, that's day off and I
• 35:56
  think he'll be all right. You got to think that the the
• 36:01
  right elbow is fully healthy, by the way, right?
• 36:04
  I know Smoltz was. Every every bit of pre game
• 36:09
  coverage that I see he's. Always throwing.
• 36:12
  He's all literally doing. Nothing else except throwing.
• 36:15
  So I'm like he's. I mean, it's because.
• 36:17
  He doesn't take VP, he's a weirdo.
• 36:22
  He doesn't take on field BPI. Kind of respect it.
• 36:25
  It's crazy, that guy's. Showing Go.
• 36:28
  Yeah. Insane, by the way.
• 36:31
  Not too. Not too.
• 36:32
  Curious because it's like if you have a bad left shoulder and a
• 36:35
  bad right elbow, like you kind of barely getting up there, but.
• 36:39
  It's fine, I did. I did.
• 36:42
  Tell me if you agree with this. Now here no.
• 36:46
  Answer me this. Do you like A1 armed show?
• 36:50
  Hey, for the rest of this postseason over A2 armed Aaron
• 36:53
  Judge? Shut up.
• 36:55
  Answer me honestly. No.
• 36:57
  Answer me honestly. I just came across a graphic
• 37:01
  Aaron Judges postseasons hitting 150 with two home runs, 19
• 37:05
  strikeouts yes and a whopping O for 10 with runners in scoring
• 37:10
  position. I like my chances with A1 arm
• 37:13
  show. Hey.
• 37:14
  Yeah, obviously. Duh.
• 37:17
  He's going to have to come through, man.
• 37:19
  He's going to have to come through.
• 37:20
  But many, many, many Yankees fans remember this was the same
• 37:30
  story with a Rod. A Rod did not have a good
• 37:34
  postseason to until O 9. He was horrendous as a Yankee in
• 37:40
  the postseason and it was multiple visits and O 9 is when
• 37:46
  he popped off and it's it's the where I'm struggling is that if
• 37:53
  they do lose this, like I don't know if we see him in it again.
• 37:58
  You know he's 33 if Soto walks, stands same age 34, something
• 38:05
  like that. And that's exactly what we
• 38:08
  talked about before the series started.
• 38:09
  Who needs this world? Series need this so bad.
• 38:17
  I don't know. I'm ready to blow it up.
• 38:19
  We're personally, I'm ready to blow it all up.
• 38:21
  Can't disagree man, lot lot happened in Game 2 but you know
• 38:28
  what this thing is heading east. I'm so, so ready.
• 38:35
  What's the I want to look up the weather.
• 38:36
  Let's look up the weather real fast.
• 38:40
  Is it? Is it turtleneck weather?
• 38:41
  I want it to be turtleneck weather.
• 38:44
  I'm, I'm pretty sure. Oh.
• 38:46
  Yeah, all right. So Monday.
• 38:50
  Monday's a high of 59. Give us the weather preview
• 38:53
  here. Monday's a high of 59 and we're
• 38:58
  talking eight O 8 Eastern. So this is we're looking at like
• 39:02
  below 50 for these games in New York.
• 39:06
  We're talking, we're talking Leatherman jackets, we're
• 39:09
  talking turtlenecks. This is what October baseball
• 39:13
  should look like. Hold on, I'm I'm not seeing the
• 39:15
  same thing saying hi 60 on Monday.
• 39:24
  Yes, at 59, didn't I? You one point in me.
• 39:28
  Well, no, no, no, sorry. I sorry.
• 39:30
  I I wasn't like trying to compare.
• 39:32
  I'm just saying the it's saying high 60 and then around 8:00
• 39:36
  Eastern it'll it's saying it'll be 52.
• 39:39
  I love that. Is that is that?
• 39:40
  Cold enough? That's chilly little.
• 39:43
  I'm chilly. Oh, it's chilly.
• 39:44
  Get chilly as you go. That's what post season baseball
• 39:49
  needs to look like. I love it.
• 39:53
  Yankee Stadiums got to be rowdy. Rowdy has to be like.
• 40:01
  These are they have to, they have to take two out of three,
• 40:05
  obviously like they have to take two out of three.
• 40:10
  For those in the chat saying the game starts at 7, literally
• 40:12
  every game of this World Series starts at 8:00 PM yeah, 880-8808
• 40:18
  for every every single game yeah you, you got it you got it.
• 40:24
  Sorry, repeat the point 'cause I think I I agree with what you
• 40:28
  said, but I just want to make sure.
• 40:29
  I heard it. Well, they obviously have to
• 40:30
  take two out of three, but. Preferably you'd you'd.
• 40:33
  Preferably take 3. Sure, but if you're going to
• 40:36
  take two, I would argue you'd you'd you'd want to take the
• 40:39
  first two now just to even it right back up.
• 40:43
  And then at that point, you're playing a best of three.
• 40:46
  Yeah. And so that's so really got to
• 40:50
  have a short leash leash with with Clark Schmidt.
• 40:53
  I think this is you got to have a short leash.
• 40:58
  This is a must win. Game 3 is a must, must, must
• 41:01
  win. Yeah, you got to have a a short
• 41:04
  leash with Schmidt because you know you're not going to get any
• 41:06
  run support from Judge. So you know, you're going to
• 41:09
  have to look, you're going to have to look for some support
• 41:11
  elsewhere in the in the lineup. I'm already down.
• 41:15
  So are the Yankees two games to none?
• 41:18
  You got any? You got anything else on
• 41:20
  tonight? Or, or or looking ahead to games
• 41:23
  3-4 and five in the Bronx. Well, game five if necessary.
• 41:29
  Nate, what would you do? Seriously.
• 41:31
  Like where does your head go if the if this team gets swept?
• 41:38
  If they get swept, it's blown up.
• 41:40
  And it's like, as much as it would hurt and as as as
• 41:43
  embarrassing as it would be, I know that that embarrassment
• 41:46
  would lead to firing. Like Boone would have to be
• 41:51
  fired, have to be fired. How many years in a row have we
• 41:56
  said this? It's not going to get fired.
• 41:59
  He takes the team to the World Series and you think they're
• 42:02
  going to. Fire him, he swept.
• 42:04
  He's. Done far worse in seasons prior.
• 42:07
  And they said we're, we're, he's our guy.
• 42:09
  We're bringing them back. I feel like we're bone.
• 42:12
  Guys. I think Hal was adopted.
• 42:15
  I don't think there's, I don't think there's any George blood
• 42:18
  flowing through that man's veins because George was just, if he
• 42:22
  was embarrassed, he was firing somebody.
• 42:29
  I'm hurting. Dodgers up two games and none in
• 42:34
  the 2024 World Series. They can smell it.
• 42:39
  They can smell it. I don't know, man.
• 42:44
  It's looking real bleak. It's looking real bleak for the
• 42:47
  for the Yanks. But like I said, it's heading
• 42:49
  back out East. I, I think, you know, as, as, as
• 42:54
  a baseball fan, just generally speaking here, I'm excited for
• 42:59
  some East Coast World Series baseball.
• 43:02
  You know, the, the West Coast was nice there.
• 43:04
  I saw on MLB Network the MLB Central crew was talking about
• 43:08
  like, you know, which park would you rather take?
• 43:11
  And they're like, I mean, just look around.
• 43:12
  I think we're going to take the LA weather and just the
• 43:15
  atmosphere here. But but D Roe I I think was
• 43:19
  like, give me that E give me that NE baseball baby.
• 43:23

• 43:28
  for post season baseball, specifically the World Series at

  the end of October. It's just it's a must and I'm
• 43:34
  glad it. Should look.
• 43:36

• 43:44
  tears soon. There might be actual tears
• 43:47
  flowing down my face. Oh, I hate this dude.

  No other thoughts except his. Sign off folks as as a reminder,

  like you guys might only get two more two more reactions from us
