  Speaker 1: Welcome back to another episode of Ross and Rizzo Unfiltered.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Game 4 is in the books. Rossi, the Rays winning
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: 4-3 at the Trop in 12 innings. We had a
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: doozy of a game, Rossi. The bullpens were dominant. Cooper
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Pratt was an absolute stud. But in the end, it's
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: the walk-off by the Rays to save another day. We
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: have another day of baseball, Rossi.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: That was a long one, bro. That was a long one.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: A lot of non-drama in the middle, like four through nine,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: ten innings, and then got a little crazy there at
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: the end, obviously. But the Trop was rocking. A lot
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: of Brewers fans here, bro.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Dude, I am so disappointed in the Tampa Bay fans, right?
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: World Series.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: World Series, and on TV, bro, it is– It sounds
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: louder when the Brewers are doing something than the Rays, right?
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: No doubt. How does that happen, honestly?
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was like that yesterday, too, when they
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: were only down 2-0. Today they're down 3-0, so I
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: can understand, all right, maybe fans don't want to see
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: their team lose on their home turf. But, man, dude,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: like Tampa fans are– I just feel like they're– you don't–
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what to make of that.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Because on TV, you're like, this is a home game
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: for the Brewers.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know how it is. I think that's
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: the norm. The players got to be used to that.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Like when, you know, guys, you just remember in the
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Red Sox, Yankees, guys come in to play them. It's
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: always a home game for the visiting team. But there
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: are a lot of Rays fans there. I got to
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: give some. They're showing out. There's some celebs around. It's
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: just the Brew crew. fans have come down they're like
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: i want to go to florida in some warm weather
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: it's a cheaper ticket i got a cheap flight you
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: know like there's a they're like the hotel i can
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: get all that instead of paying whatever tickets we're going
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: for up in milwaukee so um.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: They showed out look if just as a brewers fan
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: right as a milwaukee brewers fan be selfish i need
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: you guys to all be selfish right now your team
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: is one win away from winning the world series Wouldn't
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: it be that much better if they clinched at home?
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: So, let's just hope.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: For a good game tomorrow.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: All the people who have tickets to game six, right?
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Let's let them clinch at home so the Rays can
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: win another game tomorrow, make it 3-2, and make this
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: thing really.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Interesting, Rossi. Clinching at home is better. I got to
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: clinch once at home and once on the road, and
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: there's nothing better than clinching at home. That's for sure.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Partying in your own city with your own fans, it's electric,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: but Let's get to this game, bro. Like, we had
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: so much going on back and forth. The bullpens, just
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: the mixing and matching. I thought Nick Martinez was a
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: huge piece for the Tampa Bay Rays settling in. Griffin Jacks,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: the start. I had him for the WBC. I've mentioned
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: that before, but I had him in the bullpen. He
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: is an absolute stud, a guy, a bullpen guy that
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Tampa acquired to make him a starter. And he's done
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: a really nice job. He talked about, we had him
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: on set afterwards, talked about just childhood dreams, starting in
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: a game in the World Series, starting game four particularly,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: and then being able to have a great performance. He
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: pitched really well. He ran out a little bit of
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: gas there at the end, tired all the adrenaline, but
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: I thought he threw the ball really, really well. Dustin
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: May starting, kind of opening a little bit for those guys,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: threw the ball good, and then they rolled out the horses, man.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Both bullpens pitched phenomenally, and I think Tampa Bay's bullpen
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: finally stepped up and matched them pitch for pitch, batter
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: for batter, what Milwaukee's been doing this whole World Series
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: and postseason. There's something about the warm summer air and
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: a cold corona with Lyme that makes the roar of
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: the crowd sound a lot like the roar of the waves.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: That's because this is our playa, and the best seats
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: are always wherever you're sitting.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Whether it's a weeknight game under the lights or a
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Sunday afternoon in the sun, you know baseball isn't about
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: rushing around. It's about settling in letting the game come
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: to you. And nothing pairs better than an ice-cold Corona. Nothing.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: So find your seat, your Corona, and your line, because
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: real fans know the only thing better than nine innings
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: is extra innings, especially on La Playa.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Corona.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: La Playa awaits.

  Speaker 2: by Crown Imports, Chicago, Illinois. What's up, guys? I need
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: to tell you about this new prediction market called Polymarket.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: It's the best new way to trade in sports. In
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: the past, if you wanted action on the game, you
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: put some money in, and if your team was doing
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: well and you wanted to cash out, they'd lock the
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: trade and take a huge fee. But Polymarket is a
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: prediction market. It's a stock exchange for sports, buying in
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: and selling out on your terms. I've tried them all,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: and Polymarket is simply the best prediction market. better than DraftKings, FanDuel, Kalshi,

• 5:35
  Speaker 2: after you deposit just $ 10.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: No doubt. Both bullpens are going to be absolutely gassed tomorrow.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: How they piece this together tomorrow is going to be
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: fun to watch. I know the Brewers have the Miz
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: going tomorrow and the Rays most likely Rasmussen, which will
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: be on short rest. But I kind of like it
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: for the Miz where you see the best pitcher in
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: baseball all year get to come in and he'll probably
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: have a longer leash now. Like, here you go, kid.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: You got to go get go. Go. We need you.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: 100 pitches at least, right? So, but we'll see how
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: that plays out. But yeah, this game, man, these bullpens, bro,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: like Ashby breaking the record, breaking the record for scoreless
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: innings to start a postseason, which is incredible. Andrew Miller's
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: run in 2016 was out of this world. So just
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: up and down, Uribe through two innings, the whole, the raise, right?
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Brian Baker came in in the two innings, right? We
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: haven't seen him go more than, One inning pretty much
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: all year. So, just guys laying it all on the
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: line again. And credit to the Rays, man. They were
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: down and out the 12th inning. Down one run. Cooper
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Pratt hits a massive home run. Cooper Pratt, what do
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: you have? Three hits tonight, Ross?
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Four.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Four for five. Four for five. As a 21-year-old in
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: the biggest stage, right? And he puts the team up thinking,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: you know, when Cooper Pratt hits that home run to
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: all the fans out there, the... tarp started going up
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: in the Rays' locker room in the visiting clubhouse. The
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: champagne was on ice.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: No doubt.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: All the advertising signs were on the tarp. The plastic
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: was up. The goggles were out. People were ready to celebrate.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: There was people on the inside of that clubhouse saying,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: here we go. Then the Rays come back and tie
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: it up and then win it, Rossi.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: That just is....
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Great ending to the game.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Great ending, great ending. And back and forth, like you said,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: the bullpens. I was looking at, you know, the bullpen
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: usage and, like, JoJo Romero threw an inning and 11 pitches.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: He'll be fine for tomorrow. D.L. Hall threw an inning
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: and two-thirds, 24 pitches. He's going to be a guy
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: you're going to have to check, right? You're going to
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: have to let him play catch, check him. Abner Uribe,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: two innings, 19 pitches. 19 doesn't seem like a lot
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: for two innings, but, again... Um, I think a lot
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: of this adrenaline, like he should be fine, right? It's
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: the world series. You're going to, you're going to take
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: the ball. I don't see him not taking the ball,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: but Aaron Ashby two and a third, three ups and
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: 31 pitches. I would be shocked if he pitched tomorrow,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: to be honest. Um, since a teller was, should was
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: clean and drill on.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: There at the end.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Um, but McGill should be able to give you a McGill.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: He only got it out. Yeah. He like, if I
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: were Pat Murphy, I was trying to put on my
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: manager hat while we were talking on set. And I
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: think I would save Ashby if we had to leave
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: for the night. So McGill is going to take the
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: eighth and you get there. You're you're eBay, maybe the
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: seventh or piece together him and Jojo or deal hall.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Like you really don't have to get too much out
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: of the Miz. He's only gone over five innings once
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: in his post season. And he hasn't been as dominant.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: in the postseason than it was the regular season. So, again, need.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: We talked to him. We had him pregame. And he
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: just learned a lot. I asked him about his maturation
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: during this postseason and what he's learned. And he was
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: talking about the ability to understand I don't have to
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: be perfect. Like, just attack. I've got guys behind me.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Phillip strikes on with the nastiest stuff and go get
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: guys and try to be too perfect. And I thought
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: that was a really– well said thing for him because
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: it did look like he was trying to just be
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: this superhuman person that he's already is and has been
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: all season. But he was trying to take that in
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: the postseason, try to be even better. So I wouldn't
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: be surprised if he has a great game tomorrow night
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: and maybe they save Aaron Ashby to close this thing
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: out on the back end with McGill only getting one
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: hitter out. But the Rays raid, right? Like they put
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: the ball in play there. Kevin Arrow ground ball error
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: by Ortiz at third. You know how long of a
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: throw that is. As a first baseman, he was way
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: back down the third baseline. He had a long throw
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: and just not able to score. Fowers missed that pick, honestly.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: He's been a vacuum over there all postseason. He has been.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: I felt like that was one of his, I don't
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: want to say any pick is easier, but one of the,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: it didn't seem like that big of a tweener. I
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: didn't really see the slow-mo replay on it, but yeah,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I was just surprised that He missed it only because
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: he's been such a vacuum over there all postseason.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: I know the question I had for you, and I
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: thought about this in game. Is it different for you
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: to bounce off the turf than regular grass or dirt? Like,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: did you ever have to make any kind of adjustment
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: when you would go play on turf a little bit?
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Or is it a cleaner hop? You know, that was
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: kind of, I thought that was a little bit more
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: of a, you know, a longer throw so you'd have
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: longer to read it. Like, let me inside your dome
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: as a first baseman on a play like that.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: It's just, it all depends on the hop. If it's
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: a long hop off the turf, it's pretty fine. For me,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: especially going to the trop, you would just, I would
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: take balls off the turf or anytime you went to
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: the turf from third base or shortstop. And you kind
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: of know what that ball is going to do, especially
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: all the position players, you know what their balls do.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: That one, it's the tweeners that really kill you. It's
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: the ones where it's going to hit the turf, it's
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: going to hit the dirt. The one where you can't
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: just go fully all out, you have to kind of
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: read it, which from what I remember seeing, it wasn't
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: that bad of a tweener. It was just one of
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: those balls that just popped up. Yeah. I mean, Fowers
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: is in a great position. He was in a great
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: position to catch it. He was underneath the ball, did
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: everything right, just didn't come up with the play. He
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: would probably tell you he needs to have that, or
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: he would tell you he needs to make that throw.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Sure, sure, and that's just good accountability. I thought a
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: big play that nobody was talking about was, I thought
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Caminera Jr. going first to third on the base hit
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: from Hicks to left, running right in front of Chirio's
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: face pretty much. He had to go a little bit
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: to his left and got tangled up a little bit,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: but I thought it's such a different situation there. Up
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: one for the Brewers.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: He's banged up, too.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And first and third, he's limping around,
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: but he pushed it to go first to third. And
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: now you've got first and third, nobody out. They've got
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: the infield pretty much in. Second baseman was a little
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: bit deeper. Now balls start getting through on that turf.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: It's so hard to be infield in on that turf.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: It just puts so much pressure. And then, you know,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: the credit to the Rays, what they've done all year,
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: the good base running, like we talked about with Caminero Jr.,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: and then contact. The contact up the middle, two strikes.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Chandler Simpson.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Chandler Simms is our player of the game. Rossi, three hits,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: RBI double in the top of the second. Single in
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: the game-winning 12th inning rally. Just another good play at
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: the wall. Timing that up off of Mitchell.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Oppo.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Sneaky pop Oppo there. But yeah, Chandler Simms, as you
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: were saying.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: David Hamilton goes deep again. He's got four home runs
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: in the regular season. He's got two big ones this postseason.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: this postseason for the Brewers.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Just guys you wouldn't be expecting to hit these home
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: runs are coming up, and that's what makes a winning team.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Check this stat. Check this stat. I thought this was
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: really cool. The bottom seven through nine, the bottom third
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: of the Brewers lineup this postseason, three home runs, 10
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: RBIs from those batters. You're talking about Hamilton, Fralick, and Pratt,
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: you know, Cooper Pratt. So, like, good job bottom of
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: the line. Other guys grinding. We know I mean, Jackson
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Cherio is on fire still. That guy absolutely rakes. And
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: William Contreras and all those guys to rank. But the
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: bottom of the lineup coming through for this Brewer crew,
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: the Brew crew, has really stepped up. The Brew crew.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Yep, one win away. They are one win away. Rossi,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: if the Rays win and they can get this thing
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: back to Milwaukee, how much pressure does that put on
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: the Brewers?
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: No doubt.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Long flight.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Off day to think about it a little bit. It
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: would be a reset for everybody. Now everybody, if it
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: gets back to Milwaukee, everybody's fresh. Both bullpens are going
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: to be fresh. You're going to get a fresh Johnny
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Peralta who might, I mean, be seeing the bullpen tomorrow.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: That's my question. You know, like he pitched yesterday, so
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: it'll only be a day off. I don't know what
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: his cycle is.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: He will be in the bullpen tomorrow, yeah.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Probably be in the bullpen.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: It's all hands on deck. It's all hands on deck
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: at this point for both teams. I wouldn't be surprised
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: if we see Dustin Mayford in it tomorrow.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: We got to give a shout out to Ben Williamson,
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: that chopper game winner, like off the bench.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: What a moment.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: One for one with the game winner. Yeah, what a moment.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Game winning RBI for him. They doused him with ice.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Walk-off hit in the World Series. How many people get
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: to say that? No, that's sick.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It's like going deep in game seven. Could be
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: a start.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: This is what they needed. This is what they needed, right?
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: A gulp punch. No doubt. This hurts.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: It hurts because it's not just a walk-off. The Brewers
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: had the lead. They had the taste. It was there.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: We were outs away. We were three outs away from
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: winning the World Series. And then, boom!
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: An error. And an error that started it. You know
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: what I mean? Just like the clean baseball has been
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: a big deal. I think this is like their 11th
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: error of this postseason, I think Tim Kirshen said. Yeah,
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: it's been sloppy defense on all ends.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Everyone wants to talk about how good these defenses are,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: this and that. It hasn't been the cleanest defense, but look,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: these teams respond and they're resilient. And this is what
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: makes them a good group of guys playing together because
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: they can respond to all of this.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: So yeah, the home run from Cooper Pratt, that dugout celebrated.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Remember some of the stuff, like I know, I know
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: it went viral with, with you going glass case of
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: case of emotion emotions. And we're trying to keep those
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: in check and gain sevens. Like, right there. That's a
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: little bit, and this is just the old guy in me,
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: a little bit of like letting your guard down. Like
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: you can't celebrate too early. I saw that.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: How can you not though? Your bullpen's been locked down.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: I'm with you, bro. I'm just mean, my old man
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: brain and my skepticism and the manager staying focused was going,
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: I saw these guys jumping around almost on the field,
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: hugging and shit. And I'm like, All right, boys. It's
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: not done yet.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: It's not over. You're right. It's not over yet. And
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: they didn't. And that's all credit to the Rays and
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: the Brewers, man. Good ending to this game. We have
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: game five tomorrow at the Trop. You will be there.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Boots on the ground with ESPN. Rossi, you have been
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: 0 for 4, respectively. And your predictions, what do we
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: got for tomorrow?
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: God, all I think about when the game's going on
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: is like, God, I suck at my polymarket picks. My
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: polymarket pick. My heart's in this one. My heart's in
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: this one, okay? The Rays are 43% to the yes.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: $ 100 gets you back $ 221. The Brewers are 57% to
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: the yes. And $ 100 gets you back $ 168. I am
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: in on the Brewers and the Miz tomorrow to clinch it.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: game five, win the World Series at the trough. That's
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: who I'm going with for my polymarket pick.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: All right. Yeah. I saw a stat today that teams
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: down 3-0, like only four teams forced a game five,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: maybe one a six and none a game seven. So
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: the Rays do have an opportunity to make history. It's
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: just one game at a time. Just play For today,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: win the game today, you figure out tomorrow. And that's
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: what happened today. And we have another. They live to
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: see another day, Rossi.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Momentum is one of the most important things in all
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: of sports to me. Like, that momentum is real for sure.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: And getting that first W, breaking that seal, getting that
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: first W under your belt, the Rays got to feel
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: good coming in tomorrow. Yep. Guys, we were on the
• 18:10

  Speaker 2: A hot dog. Taking some heat from a question. The
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: hot dog thing went. Oscar Mayer chimed in. I'm like,
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: I'm catching up. My DMs were full. Anybody that knows me,
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: like all the.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Boys in Chicago, is like, come on, Rossi. Come on, Rossi.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: We have a group called the Horn Section that we
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: all text and stuff, and they're like, Rossi, in our
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: group chat today, they were like, that's the most unhorned
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: thing Rossi's ever done.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Anyways, let's get to our first email. I'm not proud
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: of it. I'm just trying to be honest with our viewers,
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: our fans.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: That's what makes these questions great, though. Hey, it's going
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: to make for great content. When we go to Chicago
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: next time, we can go to any... Hot dog place.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: I'm sure they would spare you a free hot dog
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: to try it.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: Wiener Circle and a chocolate shake. Let's go.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Let's go. All right. First email from Randy. Since you
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: know what it's like to come back from being down
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: 3-1 in this series, do you think the feeling of
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: the Rays instantly changes now that they've picked up a win?
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Because there have been 14 teams that have come back
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: from 3-1, a 3-1 deficit in postseason history. What do
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: you think, Rossi?
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, when your back is against the wall like
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: it was tonight and you come out and you fight
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: in extra innings, and there's a lot of positivity. They
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: held the Brewers' offense down from what they were doing
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: the night before, and they were super hot with a
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: lot of momentum. There was adversity with just back and
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: forth the game and tied and just a tight game
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: with everybody out of the bullpen and Nick Martinez coming in.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: you know, starter, giving you innings out of the bullpen.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Everybody was great out of the bullpen, and you end
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: up pulling out a win. Like, it gives you momentum.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: You get to celebrate in your locker room. The music's
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: on when you go in there. Everybody's got a vibe. So,
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: especially with the quick turnaround, there's no off day. They've
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: got to feel great, and the Brewers feel the opposite, right?
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: They're like, they're trying to turn the page as fast
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: as possible, but it felt like they had that thing
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: in their hand, and it got swiped away from them
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: last second. So, it's all about momentum. You've got to
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: keep that thing going, and they're starting pitching tomorrow. It's
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: going to have to be great. I think Rasmussen would
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: like to have it back. His last start wasn't as
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: sharp as he's been this postseason, and now he's going
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: up against a good one. We're going to have a
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: great game five, and he's got to keep the ball rolling,
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: and like you said earlier, one pitch at a time.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: It's one pitch, one at bat at a time.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know, man. Coming down 3-0, I think
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: it's too big of a task. This is baseball, though.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: So anything can happen, right? We did come back from 3-1.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: Winning game five for us was that most important game.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: I felt like if we won game five, we'd get
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: it back to Cleveland. I felt for sure we were
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: going to win game six, and then game seven's a
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: crapshoot facing Kluber. So the thing is the Brewers have Miz,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: they have Bobby Diesel, probably going to be lined up
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: perfectly for game seven. So who would they throw game six?
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: Henderson.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Henderson, yeah, exactly. So The Brewers starting pitching is– the
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Brewers overall pitching staff is in a much better shape,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: and they have Jacob Mizorowski thrown tomorrow. So I want
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: to say the Rays have it. The Rays are grinders.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: What's that? If I'm in the Rays, I'm saying right now,
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: don't let us get to Johnny Peralta game six. That's
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: what I would be saying. Don't let us win game five.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: You have to rally around something. It's small rallies right now. Small,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: small rallies.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: And Rasmussen has been their dude. He was their game
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: one starter all postseason until this series because they gave
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: him extra rest. So that's their dude. They got their
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: dude going tomorrow. Yep.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: Next email from Sarah Welsh and Brian Ray. Both emailed
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: about Ian Happ. We got a little Happer shout out.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Love this.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: Do you think the Cubs should bring back Ian Happ?
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: He's been a staple for the Cubs clubhouse for a
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: decade and been a, and, uh, having forever Cubs is
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: a nice thing for fans in a franchise. Also how
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: was playing alongside Ian Happ? How was he as a teammate?
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: I love Happer. I love him as a teammate of
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: him as a person. I love him as a friend. I,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: he's been there for nine, 10 years. Um, dealt with
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: adversity playing there. He's got called up and sent down
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: a couple times. So just a tremendous friend. I know
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: I want what's best for Ian Hatt, honestly. I know
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: the Forever Cubs stuff sounds amazing. We all want that.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: I wanted that. As players, when you're in a franchise
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: for that long, you want it. But it's really whatever's
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: best for him. And if the Cubs show interest and
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: show the love back to him that Ian's showed the franchise,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: then absolutely I want him to stay. If not, I
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: want him to land wherever he's going to be happiest.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: I know that's not the, you know, that's a political answer,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: but that's really the truth on this one.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, first of all, I didn't get to
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: play with Haber, but I've known him a long time.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: He was in spring training, and I got to manage him.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: He's one of the pro-est guys you're ever going to
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: be around, and just a staple in that lineup. His
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: wife got married in Chicago, wife from there, their family, like,
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: that's home for him. And I think every player's dream
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: is to start with a franchise first rounder and stay
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: with them your entire career. I don't know that that's
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: going to happen. And I'm obviously the same, but we
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: want what's best for Happer as a friend. And, and personally,
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: you know, the Cubs are going to do what they
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: think is best for the team. But if they bring
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: Ian Happ back, I think everybody's in the wind, right?
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: The fans are in the wind, the organization's in the wind,
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: Happer's in the wind. Um, but also like, if I
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: can speak from experience for me, like having different plan
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: for different organizations is very, uh, valuable just for, to
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: grow as a person as a player. Um, but again,
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: I want what's best for Ian and, and, uh, his family.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: Uh, let's get to our last, uh, Tim bus ball
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: back question. Email from Jim Molly Malloy. The collective bargaining
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: agreement expiring soon. The team representatives say, For the Players Union,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: we'll be busy relaying information during the negotiations. How do
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: players without a contract, such as free agents, keep up
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: with the whole process? So this happened to me in
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: 21 going into 22 when we had the lockout and
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: spring training was delayed. I just kept up via, well,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: I was able to keep up with, Ian Happ was
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: a representative for the Cubs. So he's my boy, so
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: I talked to him all the time. And then I
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: would also talk to the guys from the Yankees as well.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: You usually just talk to your former team or guys
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: you're closer with in the league, and you can get
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: updates that way. Or you can just call the union directly.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: So it's going to be a long process. It's going
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: to be a media battle, unfortunately. There's going to be
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: a lot of stuff put out in the media. So
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: for all the fans, I want to say this with 100% certainty, Rossi.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: There will 99.9% be a major league lockout because it
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: expires December 1st. How long that goes is to be determined.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: But I'm very confident that on December 1st, I do
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: not believe the players and the league will come up
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: with a deal.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: Well, and that's the great thing about our game is
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: you play with guys and a lot of guys are
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: with different organizations by the time you're a free agent.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: And you either call the guys you always talk to
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: that were a rep or when I was coming up,
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: almost every young guy, I had to be a rep
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: that the rookies... There was a veteran rep and then
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: there was a rookie rep and you learn a lot
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: and you find those connections and you can go through
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: your agent, former players. There's a lot of avenues to
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: get the information. So guys, you don't have to worry
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: about guys not being able to keep up with the
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: whole process. Everybody will be informed and we'll see how
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: this thing goes, man. I just, I'm loving this podcast.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: I hope we have a ton of baseball to talk about.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: Hey, I have one last question for you. Are you
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: having fun being at the World Series, David?
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, bro.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Fuck yeah.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: It's the best part.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: You're with colleagues. You're with your colleagues, not your partner.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: I'm not with my partner. I'm not with my partner.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: You liked that yesterday. You liked that. I did. You
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: liked that line.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: I did.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I like my team of people that I get
• 29:27
