Bo Bichette’s back, Angels hire Kurt Suzuki, Where was Andrés Muñoz? · Foul Territory

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: It's here.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: It's World Series week. World Series week has arrived. We
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: have a few days to talk about it.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: I know that layoff is gonna wear it.
• 0:10
  Speaker 4: Man, there's three days for the Blue Jays and the
• 0:13
  Speaker 4: Dodgers had like a week, so both you know what,
• 0:15
  Speaker 4: they're not even gonna play the games. They're just gonna forfeit,
• 0:17
  Speaker 4: both of them because they had too much time off.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: Todd because you.
• 0:20
  Speaker 4: Know, too much time off is just you know, the
• 0:22
  Speaker 4: enemy of all the good teams. Only when they lose, though,
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: only when they lose though.
• 0:28
  Speaker 5: Good point well taken.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: But they both have layoffs, That's what I'm saying.
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: So there's neither team gonna play with the excuse out.
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: They can't throw the excuse out. That's what's funny about.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Should we be taking the unders?
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: No, we should be taking like neither team is gonna win.
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: They're just gonna tie every game because they're both had
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: too much rest. So maybe by game four they'll be
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: able to actually win. Someone choose a winner.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: That's all gone now, well not all gone, but Dodgers,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: you know, it's it's crazy to think about this. Top
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: By the Dodgers were a wild card team. They don't
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: feel they in the division. No, no, but they were
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: in the wildcard round. Sorry, sorry, they were in the
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: wildcard round, right, they were not a by team because
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking, I'm like, oh, two buy teams made it again.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Like last year, I was like, no, no, no, wait, I
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: forgot it.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Basically had the Reds. Sorry, Tod, That's.
• 1:16
  Speaker 6: All right, listen, you're just speaking facts right now. That's
• 1:18
  Speaker 6: all yeah. Well, let's do this.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Let's let's get right into the aftermath of both what
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: happened in Game seven, postgame quote, the whole deal. Let's
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: rewrack it. We did thirty minutes on the postgame show
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: last night. Let's do a little more right now.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Let's charge.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Let's charge about.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: All right, we're charging baby.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: First off, we were on at the end of the
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: postgame show with the Dan Wilson line and it almost
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: seemed fake because we just had it from like a reporter,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: was a direct quote, and there are actually some replies
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: like is this the real quote that he said? And
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: then he did multiple inner news after that and used
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: the same word over and over again, which we just
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: joked about.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Pivot man.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: Basically, it's the guy you're trying to get. They used
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: to call him set up guys. He used to call
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: them different things. Apparently that's the vernacular they use in Seattle,
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: but basically means how you're going to get to your
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: closer and to me, I just don't know.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Here.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: Here's the thing for me. If you look at it,
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: Todd and you used to look, you're in the seventh inning.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: We talked about this last night. But if Kirby, who
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: was absolutely shoving, goes one more inning, then you're in
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: through the fifth, okay, and then you can use WU
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: for six seven. Then Moon New was eight nine. It
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: didn't happen. He went after four, he went, He went
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: early and got WU two solid innings, lead off walk
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: base his.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Sack butt second and third.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: You can kind of see this coming after the walk then,
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: you know, so you're like, all right, we got to
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: get moon news.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Maybe you have two people over at the same time.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: But the key for me is where were you in
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: the lineup? You were at the top of the lineup, right,
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: So you need to have your best guy, not your guy.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: If Bizardo was your best guy, he would have been
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: their closer. Munas was unbelievable and his slider is one
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: of the best bitch ever in base second best pitch
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: in baseball behind Scoople's change up the whole year. So
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: you use him to get through the seventh, use him
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: to get through the eighth when you're probably gonna get
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: Vlad and three, four, five ish in the middle line,
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: and then by the time you get to the ninth,
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: you're at the bottom of the order. Use Gabe's fire,
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: use Matt brash Us bizarreo. Then you have multiple options. Instead,
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: he was playing the standard game, which has kind of
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: gone out the window at this point in baseball. You
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: just got to get through the toughest point. And to
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: me and everyone's saying it, that was the save. That's
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: seventh and eighth inning when you were gonna get Vlad's
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: last a bat and all that, he didn't do it and.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: They lost.
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah, And I think when you're talking about pivot, it's
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: the in between guy. You know, it's the guy that
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: you try pivoting to get to your better pitcher. So
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: and I think the focus is here. Listen, it's winner
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: go home. You got to put your best people right away.
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: You can't live to see another day tomorrow without throwing
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: who you think is the best possibility, and if you
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: have to throw him in the fifth inn he throw
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: him in the fifth inning and hope for the best.
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: As the game went on. He didn't throw much. Munos
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: didn't throw much at all in this series. And you know,
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: he was he was perfect, he was hot, he was
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: ready to go, and it just didn't work out. You know,
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: a lot of could have, should have would as but
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: it just seemed like the logical thing to do.
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: Put him in there.
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: If he's got to go two innings, if he's got
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: to go three innings, whatever it was. It was just
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: an opportunity to get that shut down with second and third.
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: He's a strikeout pitcher, he's a guy that gets out.
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: It just didn't work out, man, And now you're sitting
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: back on the flight home, like, h Man, what did
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: we do wrong? And I think that was one position
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: where they might have, you know, might have done better.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: You know, Dan Wilson said that he was in that
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: role for them all season. Cool June twentieth, May tenth,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: July eighteenth is October twentieth.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Great.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: You don't play the game the same way.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: You don't changes, especially in a game seven, you play
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: it backwards. Yeah, you've got to look at the lineup
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: and where they are in the lineup. And this is
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: what's again, this is when you talk to managers. It
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: gets going fast and you kind of lose, but you
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: have to you have to be so forward thinking as
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: a manager. And this is where I think Dan Wilson
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: got a little bit.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: It went so.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: Fast on him in that in that game, Brian was cruising.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: He thought, oh man, we can get him there one
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: more than we have Munias for the eighth to ninth.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: But as soon as that first guy gets on, you
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: got to get Munio's up. And it's easy to say it,
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: say that from sitting here, but listen, it's the way
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: the game is played.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: And had some good moments in the postseason, Todd father,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: but I mean Detroit got to him in the one game.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: How much he's pitched the James Matt Braush Munya's Todd.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: You talk about ms He threw two innings.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: And they saw Bizarto four times, including the to two
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: inning appearance.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Yes, I mean they.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Got before right game sixty through two innings.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Top either you see the same guy enough, things are
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: going to start to change. And for as good as
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: he was during the season, for them that dude's stuff
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: is not Andres Munos.
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: No and three run homer is a huge backbreaker. Two.
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: So, and you're sitting there, if you're in, if you're
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: a defender, if you're in the infield, and you see
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: you don't see Muno's coming out, like all right, well, okay,
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: I know this is game seven here, you know, like
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: you kind of second guess a little bit as a fielder,
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: and you hope for the best and you hope that
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: he does the job. And man, my goodness, it must
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: have been so electric last night you saw Bautista in
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: the suite.
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: That was another big moment for Toronto. And now look
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: what happens.
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: They're going to the World Series and it's gonna be
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: a fantastic World Series in my opinion too.

• 8:04
  Speaker 3: Two innings when you go through two innings in seven games,
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: two innings. Now the games didn't dictate it sometimes, but
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: he threw two innings and something. He couldn't have given
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: you two innings in that game.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, he couldn't have given you three.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Innings in that game.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know, at least six outs.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: And then you worry about where you're at at that point,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: with where you are in the lineup. It just it's
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: really hard to fathom. I remember talking about it last night.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Then we hear the postgame sound which actually have let's
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: let's play it from Dan Wilson because what's happening now
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: in Seattle is if you don't go on social media,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: if you're anything connected to the Mariners right now, because
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: they're losing their minds. They have never been to the
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: World Series as a fan base, and they felt like
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: they were right there and one.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Boneheaded decision costs them.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: Bone headed.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: It's very stupid, it's very boneheaded.
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: I would have known that far.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: That's a little harsh guy.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: I would say, it's a questionable decision, and it's very
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: easy to second guess because but it's it's it's a
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: boneheaded is is.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: Kind of harsh.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: So, Scott, I know how much you love the Marriners,
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: since you pick him to win the World Series or
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: I love the Marins. Like the guy who screamed when
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: Brian will was talking, that was you last night when
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: the Mariners lost.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: I understand it. A boneheaded is harsh, there's a questionable decision.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: All right, let's play some Dan Wilson post game sound
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: and see if this made Mariners fans feel better on
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: the accountability side.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, Brian was soon in ballshot.
• 9:27
  Speaker 8: You know, first of all, George I thought football excellent,
• 9:30
  Speaker 8: and then Brian picked up right where George left off,
• 9:32
  Speaker 8: and and uh, you know, gives it.
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: A good spot to be in.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: And and you know, after the walk, you know, hoping
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: to get the ground ball, which we.
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: Did, but it just found a hole.
• 9:43
  Speaker 8: And then you know we knew and thens is good
• 9:45
  Speaker 8: a bunt there, And and you know, Bizarto has been
• 9:48
  Speaker 8: the guy that's that's gotten us through those situations, those
• 9:50
  Speaker 8: tight ones, especially in the pivot role, and you know
• 9:53
  Speaker 8: that's that's where we were going at that point.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: How much did you consider going to Munnos? And why
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: did you like Bizaro better than Munos?
• 9:59
  Speaker 8: And as tuition, well, I mean, I think, like we said,
• 10:02
  Speaker 8: Zarto has been doing it all season long, and it's
• 10:04
  Speaker 8: been so consistent at it, and he's done such a
• 10:07
  Speaker 8: good job all year, and you know, felt really comfortable
• 10:12
  Speaker 8: with him out there, the way he's been throwing the ball.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: Especially in the series, and and you know it was
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: a good spot form.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Mariners fans don't feel good about that answer. Does he
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: say that or does he say, hey, I made the
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: wrong move?
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: You can't say.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: No manager ever says that.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Why they don't, but it was it's so obvious, like oops,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: A lot of Mariners fans wanted accountability. Hey made the
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: wrong move. My closer's got to be in there in
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: that moment.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: We messed up. That's on me.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: This team should be in the World Series right now.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Players do it actually frequent?
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: Then here here's the thing. A lot of managers managed
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: to the questions after the game nowadays. And if the
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: same brings Hi Munos, the springer still goes deep, then
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: at least he can.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Say, hey, I have my best guy out the best
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: guy out there got the oh well, then we.
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: All say, oh well, it's it's the decisions you don't
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: make that will haunt you more than the decisions you
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: do make in those situations. So for me, you bring
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: them in. It's the best decision and the decision you
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: make instead of sitting there like, uh, we're good, we're
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: gonna pump his art. Oh in, I'm not gonna put
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: him there, and now the haunt will come back now
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: because it's a decision you did not make to do.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: In my opinion, Yeah, I mean, it's just like when
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: a pitcher makes a great pitch and a hitter still
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: goes deep off them or gets a big knock. You're like,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: did nothing wrong there, great pitch just got beat. M's
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: fans feel like this was their shot.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: There was a lot of There was a lot of
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: emotion too after that. I mean, you want to hear it.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: We have it crying. Both teams are crying. This is
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: like Todd when Todd works the Little League World Series. Man,
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: after every game, no teams are crying. It was like,
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: that's how much it's meant to these guys. I mean,
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: like the Little League World Series, how much it means
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: to those teams.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, this is this is how much both teams
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: were head guys with tears in their eyes. Was unbelievable.
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I was.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: You want to hear the scream.
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: Sure it is. It is Halloween, so might as well
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: that's true.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: We're almost there, ten days away, all right here, it is.
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: What ultimately, do you feel like the legacy of this
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: team is going to be having gone further than any
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: other team in franchise history? That I mean legacy is
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: No one's really satisfied or happy with this.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Apparently that was Julio Rodriguez, which, honestly, if I'm an
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: MS fan, I'm obsessed with that one sounds it means
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: this dude is going to spend the next ten years
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: in his contract or whatever it is.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to do more of that.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: It's amazing.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: It wasn't on him.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: It's amazing they haven't been to the World Series. I mean,
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: he had a great game last night was the last, right,
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: But the fact they have never been to a World Series.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: Is still it's it's insaneity to me.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Nineteen seventy seven. It's the only team that's been this
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: deep into their history.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: Team remember they never went to I mean that's playing
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: right now.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: But even in sports, there's a bigger stat about it.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Did you see that one?
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: Oh? Really?
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I can pull it up for you, give me
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: like three seconds.
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: Is this the new like? Is this like the new
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: curse of the Bambino thing. They're gonna always be close
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: enough and then never get there or is this just
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: bad luck?
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: This is about as close as you can get, so
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: I'll give you this on the way out. This will
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: be the forty eighth World Series since the Mariners began
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: play in nineteen seventy seven. No other MLB, NBA, NFL,
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: or NHL franchise all time has gone that long to
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: begin a franchise history without reaching the championship round while
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: remaining in the same city.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: It's a mouthful, but it actually makes a lot of sense.
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: Let's also let's also not forget the Mariners. Yes, they
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: did lose, but the Blue Jays also won this game.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: They got big hits when they had Yeah, they can't.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: They lost the first two games at home, went to
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: Seattle one to two, and then came back and won
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: two games they had win. So let's also give Toronto
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: some props here.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: We did twenty out of the thirty minutes last I know.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying, but let's not forget.
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: As sad as it was for the Mariner fans, and
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: I feel for your Mariner fans, let's also remember the
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: Blue Jays are a team that.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: Are moving on.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Yes, they deserved it.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: They deserve it. They played awesome.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we just wanted to kind of close the book
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: on what happened there with that game and felt like
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: that was the big moment that people are freaking out
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: about online in Seattle. By far, funniest moment last night
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: on our post game show was when we started talking
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: about Josh Naylor Todd father, have you ever seen something
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: like that? And would you die for your team in
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Game seven like Josh Naylor almost did when he jumped
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: into that baseball early on and got the interference.
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: So watching on TV, like, oh man, this is such
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: a smart play. You know, you just keep running straight.
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: But then you saw the replay, It's like, oh man,
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: that was that was tough. You know, jumping in the air,
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: like everybody did the right thing. You throw the ball
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: directly at the runner if he's not gonna flide hits
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: him in the back of the I had.
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: It was kind of it was kind of.
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: A boneheaded play, but you know, he's the type of person,
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: you know, to do a little magic and almost got
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: away with it.
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: So I've never seen that before.
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: I've seen guys get hit, but I've never seen somebody
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: jump high in the air to try and knock the
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: ball down.
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: Inadverted.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: It looks like aj last night. I was not in
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: inverted by the way. That was one. He knew exactly
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: what he was doing, jumping, And I don't hate him
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: for it. I actually I kind of dig it.
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: I kind of dig it a little bit because, yeah,
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: I mean, why not he's trying.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: Maybe he gets away with it.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: It wasn't on your checklist. You didn't do that.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: He didn't have that one coming, didn't see that one coming.
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: But Josh Taylor, I tipped my cap to you, man, Todd.
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: It's trying to do anything to win for your team.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: Bro.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Shout out to Don maddingly going to his first World
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Series forty six years in pro ball.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: In some it's a shame he never got to go
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: with the Yankees.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: I know, but look at that smile, Like dude, half
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: a century almost in the sport, and now he gets
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: to experience the World Series as a coach on the
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Blue Jayson A super cool Todd father.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Have you come across Donnie, I have, I have.
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: He doesn't forget a thing either, man, I great guy.
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: To talk to, great guy to be around. He's a
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: baseball lifer and uh, you know, from the time I played,
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: he was really great to talk to. Yankee lore anything
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: you could possibly think of. And you can see that
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: pretty genuine. There was a lot of genuine and real
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: and raw emotion during this time, and you know, it's exciting.
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: It's very exciting for baseball and some people. And I
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: thought that was a pretty cool moment.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: And there's Mark Fines.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: I know Yankee fans don't have fun feelings for the
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Blue Jays, but the idea of Donnie finally getting a
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: World Series ring is kind of awesome.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: Well, he has to win.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: He's got a tall task right now, he's got a
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: second place ring if they don't win.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, tall, tall task against the Dodgers.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: But I'm excited.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're at least heading into the series feeling
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: real good. That was like the high of highs. But
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: four days later and now you're going to run into
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: an ace every single night in the World Series.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: In a lineup that doesn't quit either. Yeah, it's gonna be.
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: It's gonna be a fun series, though. I think I
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: think it's gonna be. I think it's gonna be better.
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: I think everyone's just assuming the Dodgers are gonna wipe
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: them out, but I think it could be better.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: I think so.
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: Not a.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Let's take you through the Arena Club slab pack experience.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: This is part two because Todd Father last week pulled
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: a card that he didn't love, yet he sold it
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: back for actually more than what the slab pack cost.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: This time pulls a card that he likes.
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and this is the best part of it. Ronnie Mauricio,
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: the Mets stand out, you know, rookie sensation. He's been
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: absolutely phenomenal. I like the itch of seeing what you're
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: gonna get, you know, I like prospects. I don't love him,
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: but seeing this kind of card is actually absolutely beautiful thing.
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: I know a couple of people around town that would
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: absolutely love that card. So there's gonna be a lot
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: of conversations going on here for Arena Club.
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: And what you do is you have it in your
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: digital showroom.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: If you want to hand it out locally cool, you
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: ask Arena Club to send it to you and they do,
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: or you can sell it back like you see there
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: instant offer for one hundred and ninety three bucks.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: But he's keeping it and you can.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Do what Todd Father does by going to Arena club
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: dot com slash foul and getting twenty percent off your
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: first card purchase or your first slab pack purchase. That's
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: one I left hell and this is blaking news. During
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: the show, Kurt Suzuki, forty two years old, is being
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: hired by the Angels to run the dugout. He is
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: going to be the new manager of the Angels. Artie
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: Moreno has made his call. He was talking to Albert Poohols.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: He seemed to be like the front runner. It sounds
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: like money and some other philosophy. He's gotten the way
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: of that one. There were others like Tory Hunter in
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: the mix, but Kurtzuzuki was a top tier candidate as well.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Do either of you guys know him like well, I
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: mean I've interviewed him a number of times.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: Something nice, super smart a long time, okay, I mean
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: he's always nice.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's catcher. Yeah, he's worked a little bit. Not
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: I was he in He was a special assistant to
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: GM perrimanation.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: So he's been there for four years, two years, three years.
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: So this was his twenty three five mm hmm so
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: obviously him and an Asian have a relationship working with
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: each other the last three.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Years and the two years prior he was on the
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Angels back, he's been there.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: For a while.
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, good for him.
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: Cool, Yeah, this is this is great.
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: I think the baseball world needs more players becoming managers.
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: I really like this. I really enjoy this. There's a
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: bunch of them now, But the more we can get
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: the players that have been there before and understand, especially
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: a guy who's caught his whole career understanding pitchers their tendencies,
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: And now he gets to have an opportunity to manage
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: a team and hopefully get them kickstarted in the right direction,
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: and starts with our our good friend Mike Trout and
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: it goes from there. Oh yeah, this is a great signing.
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: I'm happy for him. Another player gets another shot of
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: doing what he loves to do, and that's play the game.
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: End manager game now. So I can't wait to see
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: what he has in store. I can't wait to see
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: his coaching philosophies. I think it's going to be truly
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: remarkable for him and the Angels.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: He hasn't coached. Are we okay with that? He hasn't
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: coached in the bigs. Stephen Vote did what one year
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: a bullpen coach in Seattle. Yeah, and then he ran
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: in there and he's been really good.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: Didn't coach. There's been guys that have done it. Yeah,
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: I'm Bendley never coached, and he was He won a
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: World Series right right from the TV booth.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Just it just depends on the person, right, yeah, you
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: got it or you don't. And also, you know what,
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: you know, it sticks with me a lot now and
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: it's just it's a stupid, like common phrase that you
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: go dub. But when we talked to Mike Shilton, you're like, yo,
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: you've had two big years.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: What's your key? And he's like, good players, ye, I mean.
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: Good ownership, good players, good coaches, every good communication. But
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: managing has changed so much, just more of now about
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: connecting with the players than it ever was. I mean,
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: because you know, as much as every manager says, oh,
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: I'm not giving the lineup, the front office does have
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: some input on everything, so you got to it's not
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: it's not like back in the day when the manager
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: had all the power and literally you can't You're going
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: down because I don't like you and you're gonna get
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: traded now. The GM's in the front office have that
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: power and they and they don't necessarily give you the lineups,
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: but they give you a good idea. Remember Matt Williams
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: bench Bryce Harper for not running, and Matt Williams got
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: fire and Bryce Harper did not go anywhere.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: The managers have the third most juice out of three.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: Number one is front office because they decide who's there
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: and who's not. Number two is players, and number three
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: is manager. In my mind, yeah, you're not gonna here
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: with you're a star player anymore, right, top father, I
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: mean the player if he's there for a long time
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: and he's he's the man like, you're not gonna win
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: that battle.
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: Never No, And that's just the way it's been. But
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: I another point I can't wait see who's coaching staff,
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: is that they're gonna keep guys. They're gonna revamp the
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: all things so that that's the next thing to come out.
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: I I know Krats he's looking for a first base
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: coaching job.
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: Maybe he'll sneak in there.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Number one. That's good.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: That's good Kratz in California. And I don't think he's
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: leaving Amish country number two. I don't think Krats. I
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: think Krats is actually smarter than you guys think. He
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: is not going to work for a team that doesn't
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: even fix the air conditioning. We can joke about it,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: but it is true, like it is a micro cosm.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: They fixed it.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: Out, I think so. I thought they redid their whole
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: spring training.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Comb No, wait, you didn't hear about this, Oh the
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: air conditioning in the weight room.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: You were off that day, but you say Kukuchi came
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: out and said something. And then actually Polar I think
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: was on that day and he was like, yeah, that's
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: on brand, like we had issues like that. That's unacceptable, true,
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: And it wasn't like, oh, it's broken and we're going
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: to fix it in the next few days. Kukuchi said
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: he's sweating balls there because they didn't fix it once
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: it broke, that was it done the rest of the season.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: If you want to work out.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: Cool, but it's hot yoga baby, that's unacceptable to me,
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: Todd father. That's the stuff that stands out and some
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: people might there are some people that you're a big leaguer,
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: like figure it out.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Or pay for it yourself. That's that's not how it works.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: You don't bring in your own technician to fix that
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: guy's home park, you know the owner.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: So that's the.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: Point here is how does he navigate working with somebody
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: who is very difficult to work with.
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's that's what you're gonna have to do as
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: a manager. You're the boss.
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: You're you're the boss on the field, and you're gonna
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: have to figure out and not step on anybody's toes
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: and try and be your own person. And I think
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: that's what Kurtzuzuki is going to bring his own mind,
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: his own person, and his.
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: Own managerial way of what he wants to do.
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: And like I said, I can't wait to see what happens.
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: The smiley guy's gonna be happy. I want to see
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: his first argument. I want to see it all. I
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: want to see how he react to everything.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: My thing is Albert Pouhols we've been talking about. This
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: is actually apparently highly coveted, but I think a very
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: risky hire. And I think he would have been a
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: good fit in Anaheim because he would have been able
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: to kind of learn on the job, do his thing
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: a little less pressure, and I think he would have
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: been one of the few guys that can actually bite
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: back at his boss and be like, hey, bro, you
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: don't know everything. How's how's everything going for you the
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: past twenty years?
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: Not great?
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Can Kurt do that? Can Kirk go up to Artie
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: and be like, listen, dude.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: It's not his job. It's his it's it's more manasium
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: that has to do it.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Okay, it's tough.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: I agree, that's other power dynamics have changed.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: Listen.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you what. Kirk Suzuki.
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: I hope he does awesome at this job. But why
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: did they hire Kerzuzuki not Robert Rules?
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: They were fighting about money?
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: How much do you think that they don't tell us
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: because they God forbid Todd. They tell us how much
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: coaches and managers in front office people make. But he
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: was probably a relatively cheap higher.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no more than two million, maybe maybe one million.
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: And I guess what they probably feel like, Hey, we
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: can control them a little bit because he wants the job.
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: This is why.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: And I hate to say that because I like Curzi.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: He's a really nice guy.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: There's only thirty of these, so you take one. See
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: if you can do something with it. I'm trying to
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: come up with a pathway.
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: Plus, you got to get a good reputation out there
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: if you want to go on to another team, like
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: possibly could not be the Angels. Like I mean, Angels
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: have been a mess for a long time now.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: They shuffle through managers every other year. And I'm just
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: trying to come up with a pathway for Angels fans
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: to feel like they have hope.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: They're young, cores their hope okay, and they need pitching.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: And they have to go get pitching, and they need
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: to be able to fix little things and operate the
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: way that most modern franchises operate.
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: I like I do is look at the other team
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: in Los Angeles, even though they're an Anaheim. What the
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: Dodgers do. They help their players in every way possible
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: and all everything to every minor league's on up.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: They do it.
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: They give the players everything they want need. If anybody
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: asks for some of the Dodgers, they don't say no.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: And everything that the Dodgers do this is true, like
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: that can be done by the Angels. We're not talking about.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: This isn't about signing players. The Angels have like they
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: spend on players here and there. But when there are
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: little things in the organization that don't get done, those
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: are the little cheap things that make all of the
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: difference in the world. You ask so many players about that.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: The line that people liked from us last week was
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: how we said, hey, google Frank McCort. It wasn't that
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: long ago, and he was running the team and he
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: didn't do those things.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: He was more like an Ardie Marino and the Dodgers
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: weren't very good.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: True, it's about territory presented by the brand new Fox
• 26:38

• 27:24
  Speaker 2: want to bring up a fan comment from last night's
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: postgame show, and I told the fan i'd get to
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: it now. The name is zach er Sick. I don't
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: understand how it's not talked about more. Springers shouldn't even
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: have had in at bat. That was an obvious intentional walk.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: Tied for third most go ahead homers. No blah blah
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: for the double.
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: Play because you don't want Glad to have a chance
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: to get up at any because let's say they walk
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: him and then Lucas doesn't hit into a double play,
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: then you got Vlad coming up, who they didn't want
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: to face at all.
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: So no, it's not you hope he does. He hits
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: a sack fly, you give up one.
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: You still winning three to two, and then you get
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: Lucas out and then the next inning you face flat
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: with nobody on and you're up at least one run. No,
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: that's not, that's not That is not the point. Now,
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: if it was vlag Guerrero up and that's yes, that's
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: an easy intention on. But George Springer No, I don't
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: care what his he hit. We talked about it in
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: the post game last night. They were just blowing heater
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: for two days since he got in the knee.
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: Heater.
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: Buy him heater, buy him heater, buy him and he
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: finally caught up the one. It was right down the middle,
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: but they had thrown him right down the middle before,
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: and he had been laid on them all right, and
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: he finally just got the one.
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: Shit happens?
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: My thing was, Todd Father, I don't think any because
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: I'm just trying to think, like, what does the modern
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: game do. I don't think any manager in that spot
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: says I'm going to walk him knowing that you're now
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: going to get to Vladie Junior. But I think just
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: about every manager does bring in munius for that situation
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: in these days.
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: Yep, easy, easy question, easy answer. Yep. A lot like
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: we talked about before, could a shittle? What is?
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: There's a lot of questioning after the fact, and that's
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: part of this game and any sport.
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: Why did you do this? We could have done this,
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: What could have happened? Nobody ever knows?
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: How about in the World Series, Todd Father, how careful
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: are you going to be. If you're the Dodgers with
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: Flatty Junior, you're like, I've got such good pitching.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, or do you say, hey, I'm going.
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: To be a little you see, it goes early with
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: with his ab See how it goes early and how
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: you're planning to attack him goes If he's hot, then
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: you change but early I think with Snow probably starting
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: game one. Then you have Yamamoto, then you have glass Now,
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: and then you have show Hey pitch, that's Todd.
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: That's all dudes that throw a hundred with nasty stuff.
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, you take your chances early for sure,
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: real quick.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Just give me a yes or not.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: Game one, first base is due, that second first base
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: is open in a big spot.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Do you walk Flatty?
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: What's what?
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not gonna have time first, mid game.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: Depends on, depends on where we're at. It's so hard
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: to just I hate that. I hate that.
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: I'm many different scenarios. How many different scenarios.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: On Friday Show, Hey O, Tani will be on a
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: plane to Toronto. There's Bill Plunket and many others. I mean,
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: FT threw that out there too last night. Finally, Otani
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: on a plane. Wait, but this is the story. I
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: want to ask Godfather shoe Hey o Tani was thinking
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: about Toronto or maybe he wasn't.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: Roki Sazaki, I think was decided for years that he
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: wanted to sign with the Dodgers because every team can
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: pay about the same. I think they're gonna get booed
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: like crazy in Toronto. Those two in particular are public
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: enemy number one and two, because Toronto feels like they
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: were slighted for their team, their location, whatever it had
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: more to do with those guys just really want to
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: be with the Dodgers. But that's not how fans and
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: fan bases think about it. Don't you think they're gonna
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: go nuts for those two with Booze?
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: I think he is gonna get most of the all
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: of it. I don't. I don't know about the other.
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: I think show Hey is his enemy number one, especially
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: with the whole saga that went down and always on
• 31:05
  Speaker 6: a flight. You know he's got this. I remember like
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: it was yesterday, We're having a good laugh over the
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: whole thing. We thought it was serious too. We all
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: got shamboozled with the whole thing. And next thing you
• 31:15
  Speaker 6: know he's going to the Dodgers, So yes, there will
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: be some signs. There will be some yelling, some screaming,
• 31:21
  Speaker 6: and guess what, he leads off too, So this is
• 31:24
  Speaker 6: gonna be pretty incredible. I just I can't wait for
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: this World Series. It's gonna be a lot of fun.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: He leads off and Rookie Sasaki is going to be
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: finishing games. And up until a month ago, it was
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: a complete non story. Right if these two teams are
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: matching up, they would have been like, ha ha. The
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: guy that we desperately wanted and we thought maybe was
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: considering us isn't even a factor.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Oh wait, now he's like huge closer. So there's cool storylines.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: What's his name? Tasker Hernandez back to.
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: Toronto, Toronto last year or yeah, yeah, give it.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: It's the World Series.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: It's smashed the home in that series, but this is
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: the World Series, like it it resets because it's a
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: big moment. So I just think it's funny you look
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: for those storylines.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, of.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: Course, what did they always say everything in the postseason
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: is a story?
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Monk Mode, Will O'tani go for a four homer game?
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, it'll go for it. The thing we
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: spoke yesterday time either we didn't get your comment on this,
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: but of Otani's performance on Friday, just as a former ballplayer,
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: knowing how freaking hard it is to play the sport,
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: what were you thinking when you saw that?
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: I was thinking, go grab a newspaper. This is going
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: to be a history in the making.
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: This is something that in fifty hundred years, I don't
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: think it'll ever be topped. It's the only person I
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: think that could top it's him again, So.
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: I thought it was absolutely incredible.
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: You know, I tell everybody, guys, this might be this
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: time in baseball. You're seeing the best to ever play
• 32:55
  Speaker 6: the game ever. Will this ever happen in our lifetime?
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: Probably not. You got some of the best baseball players
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: ever to play this game and you're watching it.
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: Please sit back and watch the show. It is truly remarkable.
• 33:08
  Speaker 6: I tell my kids, my two boys, I said, dude,
• 33:11
  Speaker 6: you're witnessing history here, and it's so cool to watch.
• 33:14
  Speaker 6: Baseball is such in a good spot with these guys
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: playing the game and winning and doing their best and
• 33:19
  Speaker 6: now seeing in the World Series.
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: Truly truly remarkable. There's nobody like Sho heo.
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: Tani, and I tell you what, the coolest thing I've
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: seen on a baseball field.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's hard to appreciate history sometimes while it's happening,
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: or at least for me, Like I'm watching them like
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: this is ridiculous, but it's happening, and then it passes
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: and you're like, Okay, should I have done something different?
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Now?
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: Just watch the game and just be like enjoy it. Yeah,
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: this is fun. And the only thing I do is
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: as a greedy fan. I just hope there are more versions,
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: not an exact as copy of the show, hey, but
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: just somebody else that can pitch at it like that.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: It's just cool.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: We got like five minutes. Let's bounce around a little bit.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: We'll start with the World Series topic, then we'll go
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: to some of the manager news. We asked Ken about
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: Boba Schett. Now that you got his reply, what do
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: we think? What are you thinks gonna happen here with
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: Boba Schett? I mean, they're not going to leave him
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: off the roster if he says he's ready.
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: I know, I just don't know what they're going to
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: do with him.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: How do you deploy him?
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: I don't know. That's the million dollars because you can't
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: play Springer in the out. You guys saw a spinger
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: he could barely run.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, some people were saying that in the comments. I mean,
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: I'm all over common.
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: Use him as a pinch hitter, and then something happens
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: like you can't can you put him on defense?
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: We saw him run. It was like a week ago
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: where he couldn't run the bases.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: Right, and he still doesn't run the base, and we
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: need that. They're gonna have to see me easy.
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: Anyone can say I'm good to go until but then
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: until you've got to do a bunch of stuff, right,
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: So you got to be able to run the bases.
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: You got to be able to do a bunch of things.
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: But do you if you're the Blue Jays and listen,
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: I know blue Jay's fans. You all have been killing
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: me on Twitter because I said this, but I just
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: don't know where he plays. I don't know where he plays.
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: And it's a tough conversation you have to have maybe
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: and said, look, Bo, we're sorry, but should he be
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: on the roster if he's healthy, Yes, but he also
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: hasn't hit in six weeks September.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: When you say six was the last game. Yeah, it's
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: been six six almost seven weeks.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: If not money, I'm less concerned about that, Todd.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: I'm more concerned about yet where you put him, because
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: the Blue Jays have had a really strong defensive team,
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: and I think you're going to need that. You're going
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: to have to play some really perfect baseball out there,
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: are we okay with Bo coming off a long, long
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: rest here not rest rehab to jump back into one
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: of the most important positions on the diamond in shortstop.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: And also, I'll say this, it's true Bobaschat's not an
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: elite defender at shortstop, so already you've got that working
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: against you too. It's something to think about, right, you
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: want your defense to be tight?
• 35:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's hard decisions decisions, man. This is what they
• 35:57
  Speaker 6: get paid the big box. This is what you talk
• 36:00
  Speaker 6: about all offseason. If they win, you made the best
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: choice in the world. If they lose, why the heck
• 36:05
  Speaker 6: do you put.
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: Him on the roster?
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: You know what I mean? So you can go either
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: way with this. He's a really superb baseball player. He
• 36:12
  Speaker 6: can hit the ball really well. He's been off for
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: a long time. Is he ready to go? You gotta
• 36:17
  Speaker 6: see him run, You got to see his movements, and
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: I think that's what they'll be trying to do these
• 36:22
  Speaker 6: next couple of days.
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: I don't know. We talk about him all the time.
• 36:27
  Speaker 6: I think you have him on the roster and then
• 36:30
  Speaker 6: you go through all different scenarios about what Pitcher's thrown.
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: Do we start him here? Do we not start him here?
• 36:37
  Speaker 6: You want to get him in a groove too, You
• 36:39
  Speaker 6: don't want to just play him, and all of a
• 36:40
  Speaker 6: sudden he went over four.
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: Forget about him. So I'm glad I'm not in that situation.
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: You know, everyone keeps reading up Shoreber. Well, Schwarber got
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: to go to the Arizona Fall League or not. I
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: don't even know instructional league. Sorry, he got like a
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: ton of it bats. Boe has n't been doing that.
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm sure maybe he's getting some simulated game
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: action maybe off some guys, But Scharber was actually playing
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: in games and Shoreber was just the DH well they hit.
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: The problem is they have a dh' His name is
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: George Springer, and he hit the biggest home run of
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: their gear last night. And again, you can't put him
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: in the outfield.
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: Can can you, But that's what they're looking at.
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: What Okay, that might be the only scenario.
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: Who do you take out Lucas or Barger?
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: Whoever did you take out?
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: Take out one of those lefties?
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but then you want to use Schneider, the mustache guy,
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: and he's doing a Schneider.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: David Schneider, Yeah for lefties.
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for Snow in game one?
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: Would you would you rather just have him on the
• 37:43
  Speaker 6: bench and use him as a pin ship role? I mean,
• 37:45
  Speaker 6: that's gotta be you. But you haven't played in in
• 37:48
  Speaker 6: a month and a half.
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: Go get a hit off Sazaki thrown a hundred with
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: a nasty split. You haven't played in six weeks. You
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: haven't seen it, and you haven't had that. Also, the
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: thing is you haven't had like that.
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: It's you know how it is just a different it's
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: a different animal when you just I don't know. It's fascinating.
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: Do I want to replay absolutely, m because you'll help
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: him if he's healthy, But again, he hasn't until you
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: can listen. I need to see video of him running
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: the bases, playing shortstop, moving around. There's a lot of things,
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: and people are just like, oh, put him at second
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: for I k he's never played.
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: Second Yeah, I know. I was one of those who
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: brought I just brought it up. I wasn't saying to
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: do it, but a game one, it's Snell right, so
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: you have Lucas and Barger.
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: Lefties, but David Schneider probably speaking the right.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: But if not, like that could be the game where
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: if you feel as if George Springer can be the outfield,
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: that could be your test game. Be like, Okay, we
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: got one game here. We're gonna do things a little differently,
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: but Bo is one of our best hitters. He's d
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: H Springers in the outfield. Let's see what happens and
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: then we can go from there. It's going to be
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: a huge story the next several days.
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: So we're starting to talk.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: About it, and there will be a lot more once
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: John Schneider starts to maybe reveal some plans about what's
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: going on here. Anyway, let us know if we're missing something.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: I'll check as many comments as I can. Later on,
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: I saw a lot of where Scott's service tweets from
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: Mariners fans. I mean they're going through it right now. Yeah,
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: it's funny. Scott's Service actually is drowing interest from teams.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: It's funny you ask M's fans. The Twins are interested,
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: the Orioles are interested. He's going through his interviews right now.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: I get it they're frustrated. But also, Dan Wilson did
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: a nice job overall this season with the Mariners.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, he had talked.
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: They'll say there were some mistakes, but every manager makes
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: mistakes and you can always nitpick every decision. So Scott's
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: service his time right now. They hired Dan Wilson, he
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: got them almost to the World Series, but he's still
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: who's going to be the first guy to get the
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: Marriers of the World Series.
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: That's the question.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: I know, it's really tough to get back to that spot.
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: It is really a lot of things went right for
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: him this year.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know what, the starting staff was insane
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: the prior to years. This year took a step back
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: in terms of effectiveness.
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: But now they get older, they're gonna start to get it.
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: They're gonna start getting expensive at some point.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: Expensive, and they just they just went through it in
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: the playoffs. Like if I'm a fantasy baseball player, which
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: I am, Like, I'm worried about some of those guys
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: just based off workload, playoffs whatever. I mean, they're not
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: all going to get through next season clean, just like
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: this year. So I still stand by this, Like they
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: had this. The prior two years they could have had this,
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: they didn't make the playoffs with those guys, right, they
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: made up. They made it once, So it was this year,
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: and then before that it was what twenty two?
• 40:38
  Speaker 5: Right? Yeah?
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: Does that sound right? Twenty two was the year where
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: they made it.
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: Did they make it twenty two and twenty three? No?
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: Twenty three is the no?
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: Sorry, a lot of numbers flying in my head.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: Twenty two, yeah, because it was twenty two thousand and
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: one all the way up till twenty twenty two, and
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: then they missed again in twenty three and twenty four.
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: Those were the two years where we were like, oh
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: my gosh, the starting pitching staff is ridiculous. They had
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: no bat the one thing that MEMS fans are complaining
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: about as well, and that very valid point. Bottom of
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: their lineup started to become a complete non factor in
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: this series. Like Revas had a tough series, Ken Zone
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: had a really tough series, Like they didn't have the
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: one through nine depth that the Blue Jays had they
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: had more talented pitching, but there were some I don't
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: want to say auto outs, but it was not what
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: you want at the bottom. They didn't feel like they
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: completely filled out the roster there. True, All right, let's
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: slap We now know who the two World Series teams
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: are and Todd father. One of those teams will win
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: and get World Series rings, and one or two players
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: will win no matter what go off. Buddy Kennedy is
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: one of those two players. This August, he played two
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: games as an infielder for the Blue Jays and seven
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: games for the Dodgers. Buddy Kennedy posted this story on Instagram.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: Go team, and it shows the Dodgers and the Blue
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: Jays on a nice little movie poster.
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: I love It's that one of those games he played.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: In San Diego this year for which team Dodgers Dodgers.
• 42:28
  Speaker 5: Hey, does he get both rings or no? Oh?
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: Like does he get he should? Yeah?
• 42:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, right, that's the best part about our sport. I
• 42:36
  Speaker 6: think in the NBA you got to play a certain
• 42:37
  Speaker 6: amount of games. They won't give it to you if
• 42:39
  Speaker 6: you just play like ten games or something.
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: Oh really, maybe he only gets one. Maybe it only
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: gets the winner.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't want him to be the only
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: guy though. There's one other.
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: Who's the other one?
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: Jose Arna He played for both both teams this year.
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well he didn't post about it, but six appearances
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: with Toronto Wow, two with the Dodgers. Jose Reina, Congratulations,
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: your dream has come true. You're a World Series champion.
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: You're getting one. That's awesome.
• 43:07
  Speaker 5: That is awesome.
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: The two teams line up in the World Series and
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: it's just like, all right, at this point, you just
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: maybe roof for whichever team you think is going to
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: give you better bling, which sure you might think the Dodgers,
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: but actually, if the legs been a World Series, they
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: haven't done that in a minute. So either team's gonna
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: take pretty good care of you in that department.
• 43:29
  Speaker 5: So cool.
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: Sood was the first guy I remember doing that back.
• 43:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yes, yeah, you're sitting back. You don't even need
• 43:36
  Speaker 6: to watch a game. You're just like, I'm coming home
• 43:39
  Speaker 6: with a ring. That's so cool, man.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: What was it in?
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: He he played for the He was on the Giants.
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: They brought Buster up and he went to the Rangers,
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: but his Rangers team lost for the Giants.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: Luck of the draw, but not really. You're a big leaguer.
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: Teams wanted you and you get rewarded for it. So
• 44:02
