World Series Game 3 REACTION: Brewers BLOW OUT Rays, 1 WIN AWAY from SWEEPING Tampa | Ross & Rizzo · Ross and Rizzo Unfiltered

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: The Milwaukee Brewers are one win away from winning the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: World Series. Childhood dreams coming true. Fan dreams coming true. Ownership,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: the entire organization, are one win away. Welcome back to
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: another episode of Ross and Rizzo Unfiltered. I'm Anthony Rizzo
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: with my partner, David Ross. Rossi, first game, first World
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Series game at the Trops since 2009. And it was
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: a flop, unfortunately, for the Rays, losing 10-1 to the
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee Brewers. Rossi, is this year's Brewers runs one of
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: the greatest playoff runs of all time? It has to be.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: They're 10-1 in the playoffs so far. If they win
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: tomorrow and they go 11-1 in the playoffs to win
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: the World Series, there's only two other teams to do that,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: the 05 White Sox and the 99 Yankees. Rossi, one
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: more nugget. They've lost one game in the last 34 days.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Wow, I wish I would have had that on TV today.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: My colleague, Tim Kirchhen, not my partner, but my colleague,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Tim Kirchhen, did a breakdown of some of the greatest
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: teams ever, and it had a lot to do with
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: their regular season win total, right? Brewers won 103 games,
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: and their postseason run, and if it ended up in
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: a sweep, and he had the Brewers at number five
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: as maybe one of the most dominant seasons in if
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: they win tomorrow of all time. I think he had
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: the Yankees, the A's were in there. Too many stats
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: to remember, but they are on a run. They are
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: as dominant of a team that I've seen in a
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: long time. Just, again, led the season in wins and
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: now just rolling through the postseason, losing one game. And, bro,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: let me start you off with a little stats that
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: I've figured out today. My other colleague, not my partner,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Buster Olney, gave me opposing starting pitching against the Brewers.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: 11 starts, only 46 and a third innings, a 5-6-3 ERA,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: and only one of those starters of the 11 has
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: gotten an out in the sixth inning. Let me list
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: off this little list for you. Robbie Ray, Michael King, Pavetta,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Walker Bueller, a guy by the name of Tarek Skubal,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: heard of him? Snell, Yamamoto, Glasnow, Nick Martinez, Rasmussen, and
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: now Peralta. Is that good? Is that a good? Like,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: we're talking about starting pitchers and, like, well, they didn't
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: do this. No, the Brewers are just dominating everybody. It
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter who you throw out there. There's 11 guys
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: that anybody would take on their staff, and they have
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: put a beat down on them. Only one of those
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: guys got out in the six. Like, they've been dominant, bro. Yeah.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Dominant. I mean, that's why.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: And I know we talk about the bullpen so much
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: for the Brewers, but this lineup's not getting enough credit.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: No doubt. This lineup's not getting enough. They grind at bats, man.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: That's their success all year. Contact first, power second, good
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: at bats, keep the line moving. That's what they do.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: So what's crazy about that too, Rossi, is you said
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: only one of those starters got out in the sixth.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: I believe.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Only one of the Brewer starters has gotten it out
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: in the sixth as well. And that's not the winning
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: formula for success. You know what I mean? No doubt.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: No doubt.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: They're just a complete team. Their starting pitching is not bad.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Their starting pitching is elite. Anchored by Miz. I mean, dude,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Gasser tonight.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Gasser.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Just dominant. Bobby Diesel.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, we like to call him Bobby Deese. Yep. So.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Listen, that's the other one.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: I was like, you know, I'm in there thinking, you know,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: you don't want to get to the Brewers' bullpen, right,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: is like a narrative you would create. So you want
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: to jump on them early, jump on the starter, blah, blah, blah. But, like,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: the Rays had so many first pitch outs. They had
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: 10 outs with four pitches or less tonight in his
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: six innings.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Which is, the Rays are a good, they grind out
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: at bats, too.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: They ground out at bats, yeah, when they've got so
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: much contact. And there were some hard-to-hit balls early, for sure,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: like right at, You know, Terang made some nice plays.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: How about those plays by Terang, dude? Wow. He made
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: those plays look easy, bro. I'm like, God damn.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he's– Gasser only threw 75 pitches
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: through six innings. Like, just as clean as you can get.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: And I'm watching this, and I'm like– especially when they scored.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, we'll get into the fifth inning. But when
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: they scored that many runs, I'm like freaking– Bobby Deese
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: is gonna go he's gonna go seven is in my
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: in my head and I'm like now that bullpen's completely
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: rested for whatever else is next like you're seeing though
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: the horses for the rest of this series like they're
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: gonna be completely rested with the off day in the
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: middle so no matter what happens they're sitting in the
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: driver's seat we know that already but to not get
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: to any of those guys in the back end of
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: the bullpen guys um is is a huge huge deal
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: in this whole thing and Milwaukee sitting in the driver's seat.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: But our guy Brandon Woodruff closes out tonight. There's moments
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: that you're happy for players like Yelly we talked about
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: in this postseason getting to his World Series. And we
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: had Woodruff on the set today and he couldn't have
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: said more nicer things about all his teammates and all
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: that stuff. I'm a big fan of that guy. He's
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: a family man. He talked about Peralta. It was cool
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: to see somebody like that. I got to catch Ryan
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Dempster closed.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Out a game in Boston. That's exactly what I thought of.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. It just reminded me of that. And he
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: gave up a run. And, you know, typical Dempsey's like,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: of course I had to give up a run. How
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: would they know I pitched in the World Series since
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: I had an ERA? You know, that's Demp.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: That's a great line right there.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Absolute bomb from Matt Holliday, I will add.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Hey, how were the scenes there at the Trop?
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Man, this place. Let me tell you something. A lot
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: of Burns fans. Brewer fans travel. Brewer fans travel. It
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: was loud. I think it was like 60-40, bro.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this whole small market narrative up there in Wisconsin is,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, these fans are hyped. I mean, but you
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: could tell, like, that's how they are with the Packers.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: They all own the Packers in Wisconsin, right? You have
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: a little piece that, like, so their team being in there,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: you saw when the Bucs won a few years ago,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: probably five years ago now, if that. But, man, these
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: fans have showed out. Impressive. Impressive.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: There's something about the warm summer air and a cold
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: corona with lime that makes the roar of the crowd
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: sound a lot like the roar of the waves.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: That's because this is our playa, and the best seats
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: are always wherever you're sitting.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Whether it's a weeknight game under the lights or a
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Sunday afternoon in the sun, you know baseball isn't about
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: rushing around. It's about settling in, letting the game come
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: to you. And nothing pairs better than an ice-cold corona. Nothing.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: So find your seat, your corona, and your lime. because
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: real fans know the only thing better than nine innings
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: is extra innings, especially on La Playa.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Corona.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: La Playa awaits.

  Speaker 2: by Crown Imports, Chicago, Illinois. What's up, guys? I need
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: to tell you about this new prediction market called Polymarket.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: It's the best new way to trade in sports. In
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: the past, if you wanted action on the game, you
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: put some money in, and if your team was doing
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: well and you wanted to cash out, they'd lock the
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: trade and take a huge fee. But Polymarket is a
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: prediction market. It's a stock exchange for sports, buying in
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: and selling out on your terms. I've tried them all,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: and Polymarket is simply the best prediction market. Better than DraftKings, FanDuel, Kalshi,

• 8:15
  Speaker 2: you sign up. That's code ROSSRIZZO and get $ 25 free
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: after you deposit just $ 10. I met a guy at
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: the bar last night, which is a cool little hotel.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: We're staying over here at St. Pete Beach. And he
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: told me, I think tickets, I'm going to misquote it,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: but the tickets were going for crazy numbers in Milwaukee.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: And He was able to buy tickets down here, hotel room,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: and flight for cheaper than he could have bought them
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: in Milwaukee. So everybody jumped on board with that. There's
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Brewer stuff all over St. Pete Beach where I'm staying
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: and all over the town. They're in full force.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's this. I mean, I just saw stuff online
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: about people taking their kids to the game and just
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: the memories, the lifelong memories the World Series brings. And
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: with it being... a first-time winner here if the Rays
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: win or the Brewers win. Like, these memories for these families, moms, dads, kids, aunts, uncles,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: everyone is just absolutely incredible. So, really cool. Really cool.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Really exciting for the city of St. Pete, right? Especially
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: last year, a year ago, they don't even have a stadium. So,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: one year later, to be back in the Trop, playing,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: hosting a World Series game. Hopefully, the Rays can extend
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: this a little bit, but it's hard not to almost
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: root for this dominant stretch i mean bro you said
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: it rossi the starting pitching they face the padres were
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: the hottest team in baseball hands down.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Right right yep yep the dodgers i believe they they
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: swept the dodgers two times two times world series champs
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: no one.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Saw the dodgers getting swept right said that before they
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: lose one to san diego and then they come in
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: to a raised team that was battle-tested. They go down
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: 2-1 to the Guardians.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Best team in the American League.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Best team in the American League, and they're just putting
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: on a show versus them.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Remember the narrative of the layoff? Like, I thought that
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: was going to be a thing.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: There's no narrative.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It's crazy. They're locked in. No doubt, bro. No doubt.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: No doubt. Well, let's get to that game, man. The
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: eight-run fifth.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, bro, all those runs. Two outs.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Two outs.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Most runs with two outs in World Series history. Is
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: that crazy? No home runs.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Bro, I think the whole thing. We talked about. We
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: saw last year how the World Series can be won
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: or lost by a game of inches, right? With kind
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: of Falefa, the play at the plate, right? Out by
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: just barely out. Maybe not the best secondary, but, you know, whatever.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: I won't bury that guy. He doesn't need to be
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: catching strays. But Christian Yelich, his secondary. His secondary. Sorry.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: His secondary first base, you could noticeably see he had
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: a big secondary and Kevin Yair Jr. makes a great play,
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: spins and turns and throws the second. I thought he
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: was going to throw the first with Contreras running. And
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: the hustle play from Yelich, bang, bang at second base.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: He's safe. And eight runs later, they finally get out
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: of the inning.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Seven straight hits with two outs, Rossi. That's what makes
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Christian Yelich a superstar in this game. He always does
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: those little things. That's why he's the captain. That's why
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: he's the captain. You're right.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: That's exactly why he's the captain.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: And, and, and two, like, I mean, he drove in
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: the first run down with that staying inside. Like I
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: said to the guys, I was watching, I was like,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: you know how many times I've caught behind Christian Yelich
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: and he's fisted a ball to left. Cause he stays
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: inside everything. Let's the ball travel. He had two of
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: those tonight, one for a big RBI early on, you know,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: they go up to nothing. Contreras again to catchers rake.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Let's give a shout out. William Contreras has been so
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: impressive to me in this series with his Every pitcher
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: is talking about his leadership behind the plate when they
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: get in front of a microphone and the blocking, the challenges.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: He's doing a phenomenal job with all the challenges. He's just,
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: you know, if he's not World Series MVP, maybe he
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: goes to Cheerio because he freaking had four hits by
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: the fifth inning today. But, you know, he's just having a–
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: it seems like every time he comes up, he does
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: something special. Yeah. He was a part of that big
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: inning and eight runs. And then they just jumped on him, right?
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Like first pitches. They've got more hits. The Brewers offense
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: have more hits up the middle the other way than
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: they do to the pool side.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, that's just a complete winning formula. You
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: know who I'm a big fan of, and maybe we
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: can get him on the program here, is Daniel Vogelbach.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, the way he's been speaking of, mindset over
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: mechanics and just having a plan and an approach and
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: going up there, that's hitting right there.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: I talked to him and Jason Lane before the game
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: at length, and he's just like, Boog had a stat
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: while we were sitting there talking about they've got more
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: end zone swings than during the regular season. They're extremely
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: more aggressive end zone. And he's like, we're trying to
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: limit the balls on the edges, so we're looking middle
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: and trying to get off our end swing. And they're
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: not scared to hit with two strikes. You know, even
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: the young guys, you know, Cooper Pratt, willing to take balls,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: get Freddie Peralta's pitch count up. I said to somebody,
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: because Schwarber told me, I was like, man, you win
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: the World Series as a rookie, it's all downhill from there, bro.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Because it's hard as hell to get to where they're
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: at and repeat that, to be in this environment, obviously,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: on such a great team. But to do that throughout
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: your career is freaking tough to do. And Schwarber spoke
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: about it when we were talking one day. Yeah. Yeah.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Well, Rossi, what about our Corona Playa of the game?
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: This is our Playa of the game. Corona's player of
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: the game. Jackson Churio, four for five. Rossi, two runs,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: a stolen base. Youngest player to have four hits. A
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: four-hit game with a stolen base in World Series since
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Ty Cobb in 1908. Cubs won the World Series that year.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Just a little nugget in there. I know this is
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: the Brewer Show, not the Cubs. But, man. cheerio bro
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: like just leading off ready to go base hit after.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Same thing too is like both side like he had
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: one ground ball find the hole to the left but
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: the other three were just driven middle the other way
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: and 22 years old bro like you know they were
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: talking about i remember you know when he first came
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: up and he signed the contract early and all that
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: stuff they knew they had a superstar on their hands
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: and he has done nothing but just live up to
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: every moment um He's been really impressive to me, man.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: And I feel like we can go up and down
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: their lineup and talk about the guys. Sal Freilich is
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: just like we still love him. We love the way
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: he was. That play he made tonight going down. Tanner Simpson,
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: great play. Sal Freilich, great play. We've seen some really
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: good defensive plays tonight. Both two good defensive teams probably
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: hadn't played that way.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: You know who this team reminds me of, this Brewers team?
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: It reminds me of the 2015 Kansas City Royals. Just contact, speed, pressure,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: constant pressure.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Good bullpen.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: They lost the year before in the World Series, and
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: they get back and win. Dominant bullpen. And what reminds
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: me of it is their fans. I know we spoke
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: on their fans, but their fans traveled. And I remember
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: years after that, those fans just traveling with that team
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: and rallying behind them. And it feels so similar how
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: all of Kansas City rallied around that 15 team and
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: how all of Wisconsin is rallying around the Brewers. So
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: just good vibes all around, and they have a chance
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: tomorrow to close it out and be World Series champions, Rossi.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: World Series. I got a stat here that Kirkshin told me,
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: and our guy Chris Trans got it in here. Robert Gasser,
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: six innings, one hit, no earned runs through 75 pitches.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: And first lefty to face the minimum through six in
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: World Series game history since, guess who, Sandy Koufax. We
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: got Sandy Koufax and Robert Gasser. Bro, he's thrown.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: 15 innings, 15 innings this postseason. All three starts on
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: the road. He's given up one run. I mean, man,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: when you think of the Milwaukee Brewers, you think of
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Jacob Mizorowski, right?
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: People probably still think of Freddy Peralta, who pitched for
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: the Rays today. But good for him, man. Good for
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: these guys. Ashby, just these dudes making names for themselves
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: in this playoffs. They've been doing this all year, and
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: now on the national stage, they are getting their flowers,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: which they so rightfully deserve, honestly. Rossi, the one bright
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: spot for the Rays. Not the one bright spot for
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: the Rays today. Is Chandler Simpson. That insane catch, bro.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: You always say I run through a wall for that guy, Rossi.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: He almost ran through a wall. No doubt. That was catchy.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: When he caught that, I was like, ooh.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: That was insane.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: That was insane.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Well, that gets me to this Gold Glove Player of
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: the Week segment. It's brought to you by Blue Chew,
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: the number one brand for better sex. If you want
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: to perform like a champ, that's what I am, and
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: you are. Go to BlueStreet.com.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Isn't it champ in the 90s? Isn't that what you say?
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Champ in the 90s. Look at this play, bro. Running
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: right into the wall. Listen, it's that time of year.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: It's that time of year where you sacrifice your body
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: and your teammates expect nothing less. But to run that fast,
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: this ball is cutting away from him in this corner,
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: and this wall just jets out.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know Chandler at all. But I wonder if
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: that was an angry catch because he overslid the bag
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: in the bottom of the first. So I wonder if
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: that was an angry, like, I'm catching this ball by
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: all means. But, yeah, man, that was– you could pinpoint
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: that as like, okay, maybe that's a little bit of
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: a rally for the Rays, right? How insane that was.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: But this bird team is relentless, man. They're on the gas,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: all gas. All gas, rooster. All gas. All gas. Rossi,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: who wins this? Who wins? Who wins game four? Is
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: it over?
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: I'm so hot on my polymarket picks right now, so
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: hopefully my listeners that are listening go against me. But
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: I can't deny it any longer. I can't deny it.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: My polymarket pick, we got raised 43% to the yes.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: That should be like 2%. And $ 100 gets you $ 221.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Brewers are 57% to the yes. $ 100 gets you $ 170.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: I got to go to the brew crew, bro. It's
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: just they've been so dominant and on a run. Like
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: we've said it a million times. Their at-bats are so professional.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: And it's one through nine. It doesn't matter. It doesn't
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: matter if you bring Gary Sanchez off the bench. He
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: has to face Mason Miller. It's a grinder at-bat. Every
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: freaking guy in that lineup up and down. They got
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: a bullpen game going tomorrow. They'll have an opener. I
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: don't know who it is. And then you're going to
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: see all those dang horses out of the pen. I'm
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: going to go with the Brew Crew with my Polymarket pick.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Rossi, a few years ago, the Florida Panthers won the
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Stanley Cup. They beat the Edmonton Oilers, and they were
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: up 3-0 on this dominant run, and then they lose
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: three games in a row. The Oilers force a game seven.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Do the Rays have that in them? Can they win
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: just one tomorrow?
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: I tell you what, I saw Pat Murphy's postgame press
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: conference and it was spoken like a manager, right? He
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: said exactly that, like anything can happen in baseball. And
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: I really believe that, like it only takes one. I mean,
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: I remember we were down 3-1, right? I mean, we're
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: prime examples of that. Like we did have one W
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: under our belt and we had some horses on the mound.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: The Rays got some horses, some starters. The bullpen has
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: not looked great compared to the Brewers, but there's always
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: a chance in this game we play. It only takes
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: one momentum shift to get the boys rolling, and you
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: know how that is. Baseball is a funny sport like that.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt. I mean, it just takes one. You've
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: got to do one at a time, right? You have
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: to be crazy enough to think you can do it,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: and that Rays team– hopefully doesn't know any better than
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: they go out and win. But what do you say?
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: What do you say in the locker room after this game?
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: If you're Kevin cash to your team, I don't know.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: You're the manager. Like, does the manager say anything really
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: right today?
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: What do they do? Some do, some don't. It's not
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: like the manager. It's not just for reference managers for
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: our listeners. Managers don't address the team after every game.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: They barely address the team in general. It's usually, um,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: if you're going bad or maybe before, after the all-star break,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: before the season, all-star break, and then the playoffs. And
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: if you're going bad, Joe Maddon was famous for this. Never,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: you never have a team meeting before you're facing an ace.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: If you're going to have a team meeting, you make
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: sure the matchup looks good for your offense. And then
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: you look like a genius.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Yeah.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: I was thinking about that. Like what, you know, my
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: style would have been probably just right when you come in,
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: just like, Hey boys, listen up. Like, We've got to
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: find a different perspective, and we've got to be thankful
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: we're in the World Series, first of all. It's a
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: blessing to be here. Everybody that's sitting at home watching,
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: every player, every other 28 teams, would get their right
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: arm to be in our position and taking it one
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: pitch at a time, all those cliches. I wouldn't say
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: any of those things, but just about, I think, perspective.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: Let's have some perspective. We're playing the World Series tomorrow.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Let's go out and have some fun. Let's go out
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: and play our brand of baseball and have some fun.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Kind of reshift the mindset, just like you said. Like
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: our back's against the wall. We have nothing to lose now.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: Let's go out there and play like we have nothing
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: to lose. Let's win one. Let's see what happens. And
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: then you keep that mindset. They can keep that mindset.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: But let me tell you something, Rossi, from firsthand experience,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: which you've experienced this year for the first time in
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: your life, finishing second sucks.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. It fucking sucks, bro.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Finishing second sucks.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Especially at those big stages, bro. Like this is not it.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: I know Mike Napoli told me, One time when they
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: lost in Texas, remember St. Louis came back and he
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: said he was like depressed for like a month. He's
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: like in a hole for like a month.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: That's awful.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: You get on that stage and it's right there in
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: your grasp. You know, it sucks, man. It definitely sucks.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: But as far as the World Series goes, I've never
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: felt that. I know the WBC would suck.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: You're a two-time champ.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: Two-time. Two-time. Two-time.
• 23:20

• 25:56
  Speaker 1: We love interacting with you guys. It's our favorite part
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: of the show. First email from Adam Mays. Seems that
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Pat Murphy is well-deserving of manager of the year again
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: in the NL. Why do you think that he has
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: been able to unlock the old school style of baseball
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: and be successful? Do you think that it's some of
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: that college mentality that that he has experience with. His
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: teams have more focus and discipline than others. Well, you
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: could say that about any team that wins the World Series, Adam,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: but Pat Murphy has been.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: A little bit rossy. Adam, I've got an objection.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Rossi, let me ask you this real quick. What is
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: the qualifications for manager? You were a manager. I never
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: really cared about that accolade because it never affected me,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: but what qualifies you as a manager of the year?
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't even think you think about it as
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: a manager. Like, I finished, I was in the race
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: my first year, like COVID year. Like, I finished third
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: or whatever. I think Donnie Baseball won it. My bad. Yeah, thanks, bro.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: And then you shit down your leg and I had
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: to trade you. No, no. I guess I'll address Adam. Like,
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: to me, the manager of the year is getting expectations
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: out of your team that aren't there, right? I think.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: The one thing I would say about the Brewers, the
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: small market, everybody counts them out just because of the market.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: They've established they're a winning organization. They've won the division
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: four years in a row. They're good. They came into
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: this series good. They haven't broken through to the World
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: Series until this year. I understand that, but they've been good.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: And I'm not saying this is a knock on Pat Murphy.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: It's just the expectations that everybody else puts on somebody
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: because they're a small market. I think for me, manager
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: of the year in the National League has got to
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: go to somebody like Tori Lavello, who got a lot
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: out of Arizona, or the one that I would vote
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: for would be Walt Weiss in Atlanta. You know, they
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: had an 18-game swing from the year before with pretty
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: much the same guys. They kind of ran it back
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: a little bit, and he got a little bit more
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: out of those guys this year, his first year at
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: the helm. Like, that's a lot. Your first year managing...
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: You've been the bench coach for a long time, and
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: you win the National League East in a really tough
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: division with the Phillies, who made the playoffs. The Mets
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: had a huge payroll, had a down year. The Marlins
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: were better than expected.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: Nationals were leading the league in runs for a while.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. So, yeah, I love your mentality, and I
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: think the old-school style of baseball is all that Pat Murphy– knows.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: And he, he's been a part of a lot of
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: winning and, and in did that in college and also
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: in professional baseball. And he sees that works. And I
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: think the one thing that I think Pat Murphy does,
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: it's a, it's a, it's that grinder mentality that he
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: has himself that, that kind of bleeds into his players.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: No doubt. I think too, Rossi with, with Murph is
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: he was, he was the two man there for, for
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: years under council. He was the bench coach. So, Again,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: to our viewers, when you're the bench coach, you have
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: so many different relationships with your players than you are
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: with a manager. You can go out and put out
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: little fires where the manager has to do media or
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: other obligations where when you're the bench coach, everyone can
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: come and vent to you and be like, why isn't
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: the manager playing me? Why is the manager doing this?
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: And you can really establish these relationships with these guys.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: So him being the bench coach for so long maybe
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: is just another notch on his belt of experience. So
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: then when he is the manager now and he's taken over, bro,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: this is a 90-win team four years in a row.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: But him just leading these guys. it seems like he's
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: just a master communicator, right? Everything I know about.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: Him, everything I heard about him.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: But, bro, 103 wins, highest in their franchise history, right? So,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, Walt Weiss is a great story, but Murph
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: continues to do this. You know what I mean? Like it's,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: it's impressive what he's done this run. I agree.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: I agree. And, and I also, to your point, this
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: is a really good point you made. Like being the
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: bench coach, I think allows you, when you're the manager,
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: just a lot more on your plate and your words
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: carry a little bit more weight. Like the manager can't
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: joke around as much, like giving guys a hard time. Totally.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: Because guys like, does the manager hate me? Does he
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: think I stink? Whatever. When you're the bench coach, you're,
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: Opinion really doesn't matter in the big.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: Scheme of things. You can tell the guy he sucks.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: That's why he's not playing.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: And laugh about it.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and laugh in their face. And I think he
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: created those relationships being the bench coach, so it was
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: just natural for him to take over. And they knew
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: his personality. They knew his expectations. They knew– I feel
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: like he doesn't settle for anything but your best. And
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: that came off probably as a bench coach, and it
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: definitely comes off as their manager for sure.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: No doubt.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: But I like the question, Adam, even though I disagree
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: with you. Email from Eric Lee in Chi-Town, Chicago. What
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: is or was your favorite watering hole and what were
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: your favorite pizza and hot dog places to go to? Wow.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: My favorite watering hole is unfortunately no longer there. It's
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: called Stanley's. Used to go there on Sundays for live karaoke.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: Been there a few times. And then my recent watering holes,
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: I would say Richard's Bar on Grand Ave. Loved that place.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: Never been there.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: My go-to for pizza, you know, I didn't really have
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: a go-to spot for pizza when I was there. Chicago
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: deep dish wasn't my jam, but over the last, like,
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: four or five years, Rossi, their tavern-style pizza is low-key
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: some of the best tavern-style pizza there is. So I
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: need to get back in the pizza game there. And
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: my hot dog go-to is Portillo's, hands down.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: No doubt. No doubt. All right. My favorite watering hole
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: is the legendary Murphy's. Got to give a shout out.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: Got to give a shout out to Murphy's. That's the
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: spot that I really loved.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Freddy and Murphy's. Shout out to Freddy and Murphy's. They
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: take an amazing care of us.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: Pizza. My kids loved it and I love it. I
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: feel like Lou Malnati's, bro. I feel like there's four
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: pounds of butter in that crust and it just savors it.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: I used to.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: Love Lou's when they had the Caesar sauce. there at
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Lou's that you could dip some of the pizza in
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: and they got I think they got rid of it I.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: Was like what oh I didn't know that I'm going
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: to try that next well I I would get like
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: a deep dish and we'd all like have one slice
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: and then we would have a they have a thin
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: crust too that that was like kind of tavern style
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: was legit and then I'm not not a big hot
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: dog guy I've never had a hot dog in Chicago
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: I think that's probably sacrilegious right I've never had a
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: hot dog in chicago breaking news breaking news the loser
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: that's the mecca everybody how yeah how do you do
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: that how is that even possible my dad grew hey
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: my i grew up my dad's a butcher and sold
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: hot dogs and hamburgers to all the uh like fsu
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: all the schools did water burgers hamburgers in our little
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: hometown and so i just had so many hot dogs
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: as a kid i just uh I don't think I
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: just kind of, kind of wore on me. So like
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: the last thing I'm ordering ever is a hot dog.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: So I think it's a little bit of a PTSD.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you this question. Let me ask you
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: this question. Have you had a Dodger dog?
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: I have had a Dodger dog. I like, I like Dodger.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: I like Dodger dog. I don't like a beef hot dog.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: I like a pork hot dog. And I think that's what, like,
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: I know too much about hot dogs because of my dad.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: So like, I like a border hot dog rather than
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: the beef hot dog. It doesn't taste the.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: Same to me. And Dodger Dog's a poor hot dog.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: Next time we're in Chicago, you got to go to.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: Portillo's?
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, God. No, why am I blanking on this?
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: Wiener Circle.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: The Wiener Circle, yeah. And then you got to ask
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: for the chocolate shake.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: Chocolate shake, yeah. Really good, yeah. I like that.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: Our next email is from Julie O'Leary. You both seem
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: to be very close friends, and I was curious if
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: that brought any challenges for either of you when Rosh
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: became the Cubs manager in 2020. Also, I love the show.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Julie. I hope you guys can continue the
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: podcast even during the offseason. We are in talks right
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: now amongst each other on how we want to do
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: our show in the offseason. Hearing all the stories from
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: throughout your career is great. Thank you, Julie.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: Wow, great, Julie. I've got a great story about my
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: good friend Anthony Rizzo. We had, they only had like
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: one real rant as a manager and there was just,
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: we were playing terribly and you know, things weren't going good.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: So I called a little closed-door meeting after one of the,
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: I think we won the game. I don't know if
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: we lost or won the game, but we were not
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: locked in. And I remember talking about saying, you know,
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: we got to compete. Like, forget about all the outside stuff.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: I may have been the year that we didn't do
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: really well, and everybody had contract stuff on their mind
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: or whatever it was. We just weren't playing well.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but then you traded.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: Me, 2021. Yeah, I traded you. And I just remember
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: I'm yelling like compete. We got to fucking compete like
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: four times the top of my lungs. I look up
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: and Riz has got like this smirk on his face
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: in his locker. And he comes to my office afterwards
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: after I have a rant and I'm out of breath
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: about a pass out. He walks in there, shuts the door.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: He goes, bro, it was all I could do to
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: not pull out my camera from video tape. You do that.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: I was like, dude, I would have lost my shit
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: if you would have done that. I would have loved it.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: But that's. That's what makes Anthony, talking to Julie and
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: our fans, what makes Anthony so amazing is that he's
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: always got this fun side to him that never really
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: goes away and his lighthearted way of keeping things pretty neutral.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: And so that's his personality coming out in that moment.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: But it was, in my eyes, it was not my
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: favorite moment. But going back to being able to manage
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: some of my friends, like Anthony is these guys already
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: knew that I was honest and I cared about them.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: So the easiest thing I had to do was be
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: honest with those guys. Cause I was that way as
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: a player. So every, everybody made a story about like,
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: how are you going to discipline or be hard or
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: have tough conversation with these guys? It was like, I
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: did that as a player. I was, I, you know, you,
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: you speak honesty and love. And I, I feel like
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: I always did that with those guys when I was playing.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: So it was easy to I could ask Anthony, like, hey,
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: did I fuck that up? I could ask Jason Hayward, like,
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: what do you got in this situation? I could ask
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: all the guys kind of their takes, and they would
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: give me real honest feedback because I wanted the best
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: for them, and I think they wanted the best for me,
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: and we all were trying to win.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt. It was definitely a different transition as
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: a player, you as a manager, because you're the manager.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: you're the manager. And there was times where like, all right,
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: am I talking to the manager or am I talking
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: to my friend right now?
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: And there, you had to, you had to really separate
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: that and, and keep it professional. So it was definitely
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: a fun, weird, great, not so great.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: The conversations we had were great, but then literally a
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: year and a half of your managing career, you've literally
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: traded me. So it's like, what the fuck? But, um,
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: but look, look at us now. We have our own show.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: Look at us now.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: We do love hanging out.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: Look at us now.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, we went on a golf trip, and we
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: played 100 plus holes of golf. Like, we can't get
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: enough of each other. It was a lot of fun.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: We really do enjoy this offseason after the World Series.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: We will be with you guys weekly.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: We should take our fans golfing with us one time.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: Maybe we should, too. Like, hey. Put some in the comments.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: If you guys want to, want to go, go with
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: a round of golf with us, let's see how many
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: people down with that.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: We could do, we do all sorts of things. Honestly,
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: it'd be great to hear emails at Ross and Rizzo Gmail.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: What do you guys want to hear this off season?
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: We were thinking about interviewing some people, um, kind of
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: expanding a little bit, baseball people, current baseball, former players, um,
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: maybe some of our outreach that we have, Rossi, you know, everyone,
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: you are musicians.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Anybody like anybody that, that would, would come on
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: with us and talk a little ball or just life
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: or what's going on. Like we, we've got both met
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: so many cool people that I think would come on
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: here and kind of just tell some stories. We've got,
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: we've got some, we've got some pretty good ones with
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: a lot of our friends that are A-list celebrities. That
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: might be pretty cool.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: Well, another good episode, Rossi. The Milwaukee Brewers are one
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: win away from winning the World Series. Childhood dreams coming true.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Fan dreams coming true. Ownership, the entire organization, are one
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: win away. But they're not there yet. And the Rays,
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: this is sports. This is sports. And the Tampa Bay
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: Rays can come back still. There's still hope, one game
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: at a time. Game four tomorrow, Rossi, at the Trap.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: You will be boots on the ground again. Thank you, everyone,
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: for listening. Ross and Rizzo Unfiltered. I'm Anthony Rizzo, my partner.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: We are out. Peace.
