Kevin Burkhardt joins + Fan poll results reveal Death Star vibe meter · Foul Territory

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: In the weeds. So there's a poll in the Athletic
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: put together by Stephen Nesbit. He's good at this stuff
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: and it's World Series related. So I'll start at the
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: top here, which team are you rooting for? If you're
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: not a fan of Toronto or LA? It was eighty
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: percent Toronto twenty percent La. To me, that makes sense.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: That tracks. I'm not surprised by that number, are you aj.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: No, not one bit. Are you kidding me? No? Most
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: people that are.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: They don't like the Dodgers because they think the Dodgers
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: are ruining baseball because they actually spend money and try
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: to win. So people are like, oh, I hate the Dodgers.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: And everyone likes to root against somebody they usually like
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: they hate. They usually like to root against the big, bad,
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: evil team, like the Yankees for years, of the Red
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Sox or whoever that is right now, that team is
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: the Dodger. So they think the Blue Jays are like
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: the little engine that could.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: But look at the Blue Jays payroll.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: It's in the Tata I think five, right, So they're
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: not exactly the little engine. They're actually a big engine
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: that's finally putting it together. So there's really I mean,
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: I get it, but man eighty twenty, I thought it'd
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: be a little bit closer. But I understand. Because of
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: that exact reason, then the narrative has been, oh, the
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Dodgers are ruining baseball. They're the worst team for baseball.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: But in reality, they're great for baseball. Just people, I.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Think any team in the top fifteen would be ruining
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: baseball if they had a run of dominance. Do you
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: agree with that? Like any team?
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Like, if this was the Blue Jays, nothing would be different.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: If the Blue Jays won last year and they had
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: some other recent World Series appearances, then everyone would hate
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: them and they'd be like, they're not fair, they spend more,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: they're always winning.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: Right, Yes, the team that wins everybody hates and more people.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you this right now, more people tune in
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: to watch the great team hopefully lose than actually tune
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: in to watch hopefully that great team or some team win.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: People want to see that big team lose, like whatever
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: team it is in football, the Chiefs, Right, how many
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: people root against the Chiefs because they're in the Super
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Bowl every year? How many people forever don't root against
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: the Cowboys in football?
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: In hockey, it's any team in Florida because we win
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: the Stanley Cup in Florida every year.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: In basketball, how many people root against Lebron James because
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: he's always in the finals and he's but people tune
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: in and right now, that.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Person is the Dodgers because they're there every year, right.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: And they're there every year much less so than the
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: other sports when they've got their runs from Yeah, MJ, Lebron, Curry, Brady.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Nobody at home. What's weird, though, is nobody really hated MJ.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: For some reason. MJ was like the one guy.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: I don't know why, but if you look back, like,
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: did anybody ever really root against MJ?
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but not like.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: But not like some of the other guys for some reason.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: It's almost like he got a pass on that for
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: some reason.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I think Knicks fans, Pistons fans, like, think of some
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: of the teams in the East that Racers fans heat fans. Right,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: A team had some good runs.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: No, I agree, it wasn't maybe because before social media, right,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: you would, I don't know, do you agree with me? Like,
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: I feel like Jordan never got like that. M Maybe
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: it was because of social media.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: For for being as big of a winner as he was,
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: six six world championships. No, he never he never got
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: that hate. Although you know, did Shack ever get that hate?
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: Was with Shack ever a guy? Maybe maybe it was
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: just a different era. Now it's just all about the hate.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: I can't stand that when you go to a Super
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: Bowl party and like your team, like all you Jets fans,
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: you're out of this, You're out of it by week eight,
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: and then you go to a Super Bowl party of
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: like the Eagles versus the Patriots, and you're just you're
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: just cheering against whichever team does well, and you're like,
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: that's done, Like just enjoy enjoy the games.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Jets catching strays also week eight? Try like week two, bro.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: But anyway, yeah, they're definitely you guys are definitely getting
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: some knife emojis from Producer Lady.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: That was because Producer Lady didn't stay up for the postgame.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Ooh ooh, all right, let me get through more poll answers,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: what statement best describes your feeling about the Dodgers. Thirty
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: four percent say I would rather see them lose. Thirty
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: two percent say I actively root against them, right, Like,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: there's more to it twenty four percent respect them, seven
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: percent feel mostly neutral about them, and I'm rounding up
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: or down on numbers based on five or more or
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: four or less, and four percent actively root for them. Again,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: these are non Dodger fans that we're asking, so just
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: to give you a pulse of the care level of
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: how much hate there is. For example, here's how I'm
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: trying to put things in perspective. Aj I think if
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: we went back to the Yankees dynasty the nineties and
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: then dipping into the early two thousands, that number would
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: be much higher towards passionate fans rooting against them.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That's because it's because the Yankees.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Now, I will say this, and there was a lot
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: of people Jeter got a lot of hate, and Clemmens
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: and some of those guys on that team got a
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: lot of hate for Alex obviously still you know, But
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: like I think the difference is is that for if
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: you watch the Dodgers, who do you hate on the
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Dodgers show? A because he's really good, Freddy Freeman because
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: he's really good, Mookie Betts because he's really good and
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: just won.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: The Clemente Award, Clayton Kershaw. I mean who do you hate?
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Y'amamoto, Like you look at this team and you're like, gosh,
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: it's not easy to hate this team. It's easy to
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: root against him if you're not a fan, because you
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: don't want to see him win.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: But who do you really hate?
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Who can you look at on the Dodgers and say, man,
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: Max Muncie, Will Smith? Who do you look at and say, man,
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: I hate? This team is just a bunch of a holes. Now, yeah,
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: it's like who do I hate?
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: I don't want him to win because I'm not a fan,
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: But gosh, it's hard. It's it's really hard to go
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: to the Dodgers and say they're all smiling. It's like,
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: I'll throw the Blue Jays in this mix too. Flag Garrera,
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: every time you see him, he smile and he's laughing.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: He's having a good time, right every Kirk is like,
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Kirk looks like, you know, the guy you would see
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: playing slow pitch softball. He hits dingers and catches at
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: a gold glove quality, Like, how can you hate Alahandra
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: Kirk at all? Like he looks like just a guy
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: off the street playing slow pitch sawtballs and he's dominating
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: the World Series. I don't know how you can look
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: at either of these teams and say, man, I don't
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: like him, because the guys are both awesome. Now there's
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: other teams he say I don't like the way this
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: guy does this or this guy does that, But these
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: two teams don't have that.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: That's why it's a great series for baseball. And you
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: haven't even unloaded the fact that it's being watched in like,
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: like Scott says, being watched in Canada. It's the best
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: numbers in the US in years. It's being watched in
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: every household in Japan like it's a it's it's a
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: great series. And I don't think that that chart that
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: we just had up there, the twenty four percent respect them.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: I bet you have a hard time finding another team
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: that gets as high of marks. But there's nobody with
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: any with any baggage. Like the people that have been
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: with the Dodgers. They've pushed them out the door if
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: they had baggage, whether they were good or they weren't good,
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: And so they're left with the guys that they have,
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: and you can you kind of they make you feel like, man,
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: I don't want to see them win, but I like
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: every one of these guys, like they're all good and
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: I'm I think fans should be the respect factor. But
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: also like, no, when you see greatness, know when you
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: don't get to see a lineup that's built like this
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: and treasure it, watch it, savor it, whatever you want
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: to do, because this team's gonna be around for a
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: little while. But you're watching a like seriously, a dynasty.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: And normally we see dynasties and we figure it out
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: at the end of the dynasty, and this is we're
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: smack dab in the middle of it right now.
• 8:11

• 9:24
  Speaker 1: percent said more likable, twenty percent less, eighteen percent no opinion.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: How can you hate? How can you hate Show Hey?
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Because he's really good? The only reason you would hate
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: on Show Hey is because you're jealous of how good
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: he is. What's the other reason you don't like Show Hey?
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: O Tani? Somebody please don't me? What is it? I
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: got one? He trolled Guriel that one time when he
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: was it Lordie? Or was it Yuli?
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: Who plays who plays for diamonbacks I'm forgetting and that
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: made me love him even more, Like whatever whatever Lordies did,
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: he did the home run, and then he was like
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: like that after the home run show, Hey hit the
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: home run to put them ahead, and he clowned on them,
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: So like that's like, oh my gosh, this guy's also
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: like a real person too, He's not just a machine.
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: So okay, if I.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Love Jason, you dislike him because you think that you
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: had a chance and you're pissed that you did ended
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: up getting him. If you're an Angels fan, do you
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: think that they're pissed at all that they lost him
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: or is that just more everything against their ownership.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: They were never gonna resign him because they weren't gonna win.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: He wanted to go to a team where he was
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: gonna win. And they had Trout and they had Otani
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: and they never even made the play Not only did
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: they not make the playoffs, they never even sniffed the playoffs,
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: like their season was over. Like as much as you
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: guys just clowned on the Jets, the Angel seasons were
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: over in May, honestly. So, yeah, he wanted to go
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: to a team where he won. Guess what he did
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: his first year he won. Guess what he has a
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: chance to do his second year win? Guess what he
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: has a chance to do next show the Dodgers win.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: He signed a ten year contract. Get used to it,
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: because even when Betts and Freeman and Munsey and some
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: of these older guys Kershaw are gone, guess what the
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: Dodgers are gonna do.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: They're gonna try and win.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: And Yamamoto who signed.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: For a Sazaki and don't forget Blake Snell signed a deal.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Glasnow's there for a few more years. Like, it's not
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: like they're going anywhere anytime soon. This team will Smith
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: signed for a long time. This team's gonna be around,
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: and when they need something, they either trade for it
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: or they go and sign the guy. And that's what
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: you want. That's what every team should be looking to do.
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Plus, they have a rule to limit younger players overseas
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: from signing in the major leagues. That rule led to
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: rookie Sasaki signing for pebbles with the Dodgers. You're gonna
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: have to change a lot of rules. Just saying, okay,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: we get plenty of people that watch this show that
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: say we love the Dodgers. There and plenty that say
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: we hate the Dodgers. I do not give a crap.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: We're just covering baseball. But I'm giving you the facts.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: I do a prospect show every week, and they're often
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: leading the charge with guys that are on their way,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: and they have disadvantages for the draft right now, and
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: they're still beating everyone in the race to pick good
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: players amateur wise and then develop them. So we've got
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: a long way to go.
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: And a good.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Morning to Kevin joining us. Now, good morning, kab. Wow
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: that was fun. Obviously you can hear KB with Big Poppy,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Derek Jeter a Rod pre post covering the World Series.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: They're there. It's also on Fox one, which we're presented
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: by here for the month. So what's the first thing
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: that comes out of your mouth when someone asks you
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: about this game?
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: You know what's up? Boys? First of all, thanks for
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: having me. Good to be alive and awake and still
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: trying to figure out what the hell I just witnessed
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: because I have no idea. I mean, it was crazy.
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: We're watching it, and you know, our whole thing is
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: like okay, you know, we're just here and you know,
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: when we're getting ready to do the postgame show. You know,
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: you're always kind of like in a holding place somewhere
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: so you could get on the field quick. So we're
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: not on the field, we're watching a TV and we're
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: all saying, Okay, it's going to go to the eighteenth
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: thinning and months he's gonna win it again, right, I mean,
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: that's just kind of the way that it felt like
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: it was tracking, and then of course Freddy wins it.
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: There were we got to the point where, I don't know,
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: maybe the seventeeenth inning. I was talking to Derek and
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: I was like, I don't even remember what happened in
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: this game, Like there were so many great defensive plays
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: of things that happened like four hours ago. It was
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: just it was unbelievable. I mean, I just I can't
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: of all the things. I just can't get over the
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: fact that today's starting pitcher was on nine times last night.
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: It's a freaking joke, it really is.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: All right, First of all, grab that grab that thera
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: gun behind you and using it yourself before you get
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: ready for tomorrow. And this is the first time I
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: can honestly say, KB, this is the first time I've
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: ever seen you with the hat on and your hair
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: not perfectly done. So I'm I'm just thankful to you
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: for coming on with us. But what did you guys
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: do during this time? Because I've been there, I've been
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: in this situation, I've been through reindelays I've had to
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: fill and you're just sitting.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: There waiting and waiting and waiting.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: So did you, guys at any point did you Alex
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: Jeets or David say, hey, guys, can we just get
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: a ride back to the Fox Avocado Room so we
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: can get some sugarfish and enjoy the die instead of
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: having to hang out here at Dodger Stadium.
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: Hey, brother, you know how it is, right and like
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: obviously you did that that monster game, you know with
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: Seattle in Detroit, But when you're sitting there waiting, it's
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: like you get to that point. The key thing is
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: you get to the point where you're like, all right,
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: are we going to dive back in and go like
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: full dinner moat again and just eat like a house
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: right now and crush everything? Or do we just try
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: to stay diligent and drink like hot tea and water.
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: It's a very dicey you know. There might have been
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: some popcorn and sour patch kids that were devoured, Like
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: you just cross that line and then you know you're
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: just gonna be up to like five am. That's why
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: I texted you last that. I was like, hey, dude, like,
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: I have no idea what time getting up tomorrow. I'll
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: just text you when I'm up. We'll do the show.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: I appreciate it. I appreciate it. What was your favorite moment?
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: Was it Will Klein's performance? Was it Eric Lower's performance?
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: Now you look back on it, let's say, wasn't show
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: Hay's performance. Wasn't the fact that Max threw harder than
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: he had since like twenty twenty two or something like that.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: So what was your favorite? You have to pick one.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: We don't.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: We don't sit on the fence and say, oh, I'll
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: take two of them. I'll take two of.
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: My favorite one favorite, you know, Cratzy. I mean, I
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: think it's like the Curse show moment was pretty special.
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: It really was. I mean you just you know, it's
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: funny because you know, Dodgers put him on the roster
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: and we're all like, how are they going to use
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: him here? Like what are they going to do? You know,
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: he had that kind of awkward outing, you know, out
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: of the bullpen against Philly, and you know you just
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: wanted to go out the right way. You know, he's
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: one of the best players ever to do it. And
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: he comes into that that spot and you're like, holy cow,
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: and I'm watching with the guys and it's basic low.
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: You know, it's not a soft landing spot, you know
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: for a guy who I know he's done it before,
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: but not used to coming out of the pen. It's like,
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: here's basis loaded go face a guy who's a pretty
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: good hitter. And it was nerve wracking watching that. I
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: just thought it was so awesome. If that's the last
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: time he's on the mound to get a key spot
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: in the twelfth inning of an epic game. To me,
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: if I'm picking a moment, that's.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: It, right, that might have been the goodbye. I mean,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: aj will say, hey, they might need him. You don't
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: know how this series is gonna.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Twist and turn right.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: So my question is you're watching, you're telling us your perspective.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Are you sitting there the whole time and watching with Poppy,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Jeter and a Rod And if so, what were they
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: saying or was there one standout line, even if it
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: was just you know, a big poppy random joke. We
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: know how he's got one.
• 16:54
  Speaker 6: Line for days, he's got he's got one liner. No,
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: we're all we're all watching it together and you know,
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: we're just it's fun. The cool thing for me and
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: Scott you know this, right, Like when you're around these
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: great players and you know you're just sitting there and
• 17:11
  Speaker 6: talking bowl and watching with them is like the coolest thing.
• 17:14
  Speaker 6: You know, It's like watching with your friends, but elevated,
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: you know. So I was just sitting there being the
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: nerves like, all right, what would you do here? What
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: would you do here? Who do you like here? That
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: type of thing, you know, And part of it's just
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: fun watching the game, and part of it's picking their
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: brains to see what we talk about on the postgame show.
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: So it was cool. You know, Poppy had his moments
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: just making people laugh, you know, and maybe made a
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: couple of phone calls in between. You know, it's just
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: you never know what you get there with David, who's
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: the best. So yeah, we were all fully engaged and
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: amazingly get done. You still sit in La Dodger traffic
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: when when you're out so like, that's that's all part
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: of the experience.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: That was gonna be my question at the end. There
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: had to be no traffic, but you already answered it.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: So what about watching plenty of traffic? Man, go ahead,
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: I didn't hear your cratzy circle ahead. Oh no, no,
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: I was just gonna say when you guys were watching,
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: and Dave Roberts went on and he said, I think
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: he was talking to Ducci and he goes, yeah, we're
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: gonna go with Will Klein and then after that we're
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: gonna go position player.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: What are the three players on your panel? What was
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: their reaction?
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: Because I know what my reaction was, but I want
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: to hear what the good player's reaction was.
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: Poppy said, let's bring back the home run derby from
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: the All Star Game. With that happened, and I think
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: we all were thinking the same thing. It's funny, right, Like,
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: you know, sometimes you go through those games and you know,
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: and there were some lulls obviously in extra innings, and
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: do you are like, you know, I know people don't
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: like it. They want to have the sanctity of the
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: extra innings, but they you know, there is something to
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: play in a regular season one way and then changing
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: and not having a second base runner. But I get it.
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: I understand why you don't do it. But you know,
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: I think the the other story is Toronto. You know,
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: they made all these movies earlier in the game, and
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: I can't blame them for any of them. They're trying
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: to pinch run, pinch it, trying to win the game,
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: but they just had no chance to score. I mean,
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: they just didn't. It was basically you felt like, at
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: least from us, like Lad's either going to hit a
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: home run or they're not going to score. You know,
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: Springer gets hurt, Kirk who's hitting everything, gets taken out
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: for pinch run, or they take out Bardoe a long
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: time ago, and it just felt like you needed a miracle.
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: And I also didn't, you know, I was also wondering
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: if anyone was going to be able to get a
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: ball out of there, you know, with the marine layer
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: kind of coming in. It was that kind of night.
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: And you know, obviously will Smith thought he got it.
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: He bat flipped, and then I thought the Oscars was
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: going to go too. So I was just impressed if
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: Freddy was able to droll on the center field and
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: actually get it out of there last.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: Night, KB, you got to interview Show Hey, so and
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: not only that, Show Hey did an interview post game
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: last night, I think with Ken, which I also I
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: don't know if I've ever seen before. So, what, how
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: do you think he'll beat tonight? Because he was on
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: base nine times last night? Right, how do you think
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: he'll be today? And what was it like getting to
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: be one of the few guys that's ever got to
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: sit down with Show Hey on Tani and talk to
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: him one on one?
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Age, I it was awesome.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: I was lucky enough to do it with him last
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: year too, so it was cool that he wanted to
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: do it again. And you know, as you know, he
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: doesn't do those right, So I think it was just
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: cool that a he agreed to do it, it felt
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: comfortable to do it. And I think two things. First
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: of all, you know, I just think it's cool to
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: see some personality from him, because he's, you know, he's
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: such a mystery to people who want to like dive
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: into his life a little bit. And I think he's
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: just gotten so much more comfortable. He admitted that in
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: our interview, like he's just he feels so much more
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: comfortable this time, just kind of wanted to be one
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: of the team last time. And I think you're seeing
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: that obviously in his performance. You know, when I talked
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: to him last week, it was hilarious. I asked him
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: if that Game four of the NLCS was his best game,
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: and he said, eh, He's like, I'm just disappointed I
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: didn't piss through the seventh inning. I'm like, disappointed, what
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: you threw a two hitter and hit three home runs. Man.
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: So I think tonight, to answer the second party of
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: your question, I think he's going to kill it. I
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: really do. I just I just think this is his
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: world right now, roll living in it. I think he's
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: totally engaged. You know, he does a postgame interview last night,
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: and then he's in the clubhouse and he's, you know,
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: Dave's giving a speech and he's kind of rocking and
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: you know, giving you delivery and laughing like he's I
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: I just think there is nothing that can stop him
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: right now. And as good as Toronto's offense is, I
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: think they're gonna miss Springer a lot. And I think
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: Showhy is going to just be awesome. That's my gut.
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: Are they gonna even throw the show, hey, because there
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: was a Hall of Future Hall of Famer on deck
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: behind him. Has there ever been a future Hall of
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: Famer that's been somebody's intentionally woped in front of him
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: to get to Mookie Bets.
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: I think at some point what's gonna happen is Mookie
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: is going to deliver. I mean, Mooki's just too good
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: of a player, and he's been in a little bit
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: of a run. I can't blame John Schneider for not
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: pitching to the guy. I don't blame I mean, you know,
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: obviously he broke all kinds of records last night, but
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: it's wild. In a postseason game and a do or
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: die in extra innings, you're putting a guy on base.
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: It's like it's unheard of. And I think they're going
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: to keep doing that today. But at some point, Mookie's
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: gonna make him pay. He's just too good, and I
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: know he has been in a little bit of a rough,
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: but I think that's I could see that happening all
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: day long tonight.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Kby, I got, I got.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: Here's my thing. You're a Mets fan. You grew up
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: a Mets fan, used to work for the Mets. What's
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: it like being a Mets fan having to watch the
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: Dodgers and the Mets not even being around and listen
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: as a White Sox fan. Listen, you're a lot better
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: off as a Mets fan. But what's it like? I
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: know you try to be impartial, but is there a
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: little bit of you is like, Man, the Dodgers are
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: what the Mets could be if they did it right.
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: Oh right, listen, at least you have the Pope, aj Like,
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: at least you got.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: At least the Pope knows who I am, KB the Pope.
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: The Pope knows who you are. The you know, being
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: a Mets fan. You grew up, you grew up a
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: Mets fan, and like you're just kind of it is
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: what it is, right, So we've got eighty six, which
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: is one of the greatest of all time. I was
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: fortunate enough to work with those guys and become friends
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: with a lot of those guys on that team, obviously
• 23:03
  Speaker 6: with Ronnie Darley and Keith Hernandez for a long time,
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: and that was a highlight for me. Still good friends.
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: But I think the reality is Mets fans just can't
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: have nice things. And I learned that at at an
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: early age, and I think that's just part of the deal,
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: you know, And that really goes all the way back
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: to speaking of the Dodgers nineteen eighty eight, because that
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: was supposed to be the Mets year. They were great
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: that year, you know, after the after eighty seven losing,
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: like okay, we all felt like this is they're going
• 23:29
  Speaker 6: to win it again. They were obviously a great team.
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: And then Sosha hits the home run off Doc goodin
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: and like that was the end. And it really, for
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: the most part, has been the end, you know, up
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: until the fifteen World Series when Matt Harvey is throwing
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: a gem gets left in and I loved him staying
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: in that game, and then obviously the Royals get him,
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: so I ajy, we just can't have nice things. And
• 23:50
  Speaker 6: at least you do have the Pope. So you've got
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: the Pope and you've got Frank Thomas, so you know
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: you got.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. We have to to people that you can
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: come but here. Okay, now my next question is this
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: people that don't know this. Behind the scenes, Yes, we
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: have ear pieces in and there's a guy in your
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: ear and his name is Bartia that works that is
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: in your ear?
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Okay for the pre game.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: Have you ever wanted to just go and tell Bartia
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: to shut the hell up in your ear? Because I've
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: been there with Bartia and I know he's in your
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: ear and he's.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: Like, KP, you did just say this? KP, try this say.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: This, and you're like, dude, I got this Partia, Can
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: you just stop? Have you ever wanted to hit the
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: talk back and be like, Bartia, shut the hell up?
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: I So I love Bartia, well, we all love Bartia,
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: but he learned long ago to stop talking to me
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: during the show because yeah, I just I just the beauty.
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: So the beauty the fun of these shows, AJ you know,
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: we've worked together, right, like you know, like my personality,
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: the beauty of the great thing about all the people
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: that make us so good is that they let us
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: just roll right and like we're just we're just doing
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: the show, like we are watching the game. It's just
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: cameras on. I think at least that's what we're trying
• 25:01
  Speaker 6: to do, right And truly, I can tell you this,
• 25:04
  Speaker 6: Like obviously the pregame you go through and there are
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: things that are scripted and things that are planned. The
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: postgame is like completely off the cuff, Like we go
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: in and we talk about, Hey, let's talk about X,
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: Y and Z. But I can honestly tell you, when
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: we get ten minutes in the post game, I have
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: no idea where we're going in the next five minutes.
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: So I think that's what makes it fun. And yeah,
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: Barti is just got he's got to leave me alone.
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: I think, you know, you know.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: I wish, I wish Barti would leave me alone even
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: when I see him sometimes, but he can't.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: So it's fine. It's fine. I love Bartia.
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: No I missed somebody, you know, don't We don't get
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: to work together anybody.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: And a big time that's my next question. You're so
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: big time. I never get to see you. I never
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: get to work. Used to call games with me, you know,
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: with the B team on Saturday. Now you're calling super Bowls.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: So which one is it? Is it a super Bowl
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: or is it a World Series eighteen?
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: And in game? Which one means.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: More to to Kevin Burkhart.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: When he's on the when he's on the call or
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: he's on the pre opposent, like, which one is it
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: for you? K Because you.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: Called the Super Bowl and now you've eighteen Any World
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: Series games is pre imposed? Which would you rather do?
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: Don't do that to me, aj Man.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: Come on, well, Joe listen. Joe Buck used to always
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: say baseball, So I mean, I don't know. Everyone has
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: different feelings.
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: Listen, I would say this. I obviously love both sports.
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: I have my entire life. You know, I've loved both
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: sports my filily. If you're going to put make me
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: pick one. It's hard for me to not pick the
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: super Bowl because I'm calling it and it's just so special.
• 26:30

• 28:53
  Speaker 3: awesome job on that desk. I have to give him credit.

  Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean, thank you, thank you Kevin for

  Speaker 3: coming on and and and awesome.

• 29:04
  Speaker 1: studio and then he's doing the biggest NFL coverage on
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: play by play. As somebody who has done both for
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: many years, it is hard to find someone who is
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: like a plus plus at both because they're actually very different.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Positions where you're really good at the mechanics of calling
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: a game and doing everything that entails plus with other sports,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: and then being like a great personality and point guard. Right,
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: there's some guys you can't get in the way too
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: much because you got to let the rest of the
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: desk take over. So I think all that's really cool.
