Transcript
- 0:00[SPEAKER_03]: One half a game in his cow, Raleigh.
- 0:02[SPEAKER_03]: I tried right field, cow, Raleigh has come up to it.
- 0:09[SPEAKER_03]: And time to game in his sixth.
- 0:13[SPEAKER_02]: It's the big dumpper when the murders need a most.
- 0:22[SPEAKER_02]: Welcome back to the Central Indiana Sports Report baseball fans back with another MLB postseason report a day late yesterday we had some family obligations so we're here a day late.
- 0:36[SPEAKER_02]: A day late because we're going to make picks for our LCS and game one of the ALCSs already happened.
- 0:41[SPEAKER_02]: So I made my co-host, Paul Tiffton and our guest Michelle Garmin, Pinky Square that they would keep their prediction no matter what happened tonight.
- 0:52[SPEAKER_02]: And so we're going to do ALCS and NLCS predictions here a little later.
- 0:56[SPEAKER_02]: But we're going to start with the Seattle Mariners up one to nothing in the ALCS fault.
- 1:03[SPEAKER_04]: Um, baseball is a humbling game, not just for the players, but for the fans who think they know what's going to happen.
- 1:12[SPEAKER_04]: After a 15-minute walk, yes, after a 15-minute walk, and all the advantages of an exhausted pitching step, going all the way across country, to Toronto to a rested bunch of bashers who are just ready for the next pitching victim.
- 1:32[SPEAKER_04]: The Mariners start a guy who has a losing record this year, an earn-run average closer to six than to five.
- 1:42[SPEAKER_04]: He throws one pitch and gives up a home run, and then walks the next two guys, and it looks like the massacre is on, and he gives up nothing.
- 1:55[SPEAKER_04]: After that.
- 1:56[SPEAKER_02]: The Mariners dug out saying, hey, should we get somebody up?
- 2:02[SPEAKER_00]: what's even more masterful he was doing this on three days rest first time he's ever ever pitched on three days rest and uh... but i'll know maybe that was the key i i i don't know about you call but i thought net first inning went after that happened i was really impressed because he didn't look if he was rattled inside he did not show it on the outside and he threw
- 2:25[SPEAKER_04]: He threw 25, 26 pitches in the first inning.
- 2:29[SPEAKER_04]: So they were talking about, they needed him to go five innings, and it wasn't going to happen.
- 2:35[SPEAKER_04]: There was just no way.
- 2:37[SPEAKER_04]: And then by the end of the fifth inning, he's only thrown 65 pitches.
- 2:43[SPEAKER_04]: This is why baseball is the greatest sport ever in women.
- 2:46[SPEAKER_04]: I can not agree more.
- 2:47[SPEAKER_04]: We have yesterday that cubs in the brewers, all the runs are scored on solo home runs.
- 2:53[SPEAKER_04]: We have two solo home runs today.
- 2:56[SPEAKER_04]: So it looks like the same repeat.
- 2:58[SPEAKER_04]: And then the blue jays made their fatal mistake.
- 3:03[SPEAKER_04]: They walked a guy and then he scored.
- 3:06[SPEAKER_04]: And then they walked another guy and that guy scored.
- 3:10[SPEAKER_04]: the mariners are not exhausted and they're they're serving notice that this could be a very interesting series.
- 3:19[SPEAKER_00]: Toronto ended up as what just two hits for the games.
- 3:22[SPEAKER_00]: That's what to me.
- 3:23[SPEAKER_00]: That's what's amazing because there's such a high octane offense.
- 3:26[SPEAKER_00]: And the only you have just two hits is really a remarkable job, not only by the by Miller who started, but the next three guys who came in and shut down, you know, Toronto too.
- 3:41[SPEAKER_00]: So it was great job by the
- 3:45[SPEAKER_04]: And even Spire looked good tonight and he didn't look like he could do anything against Detroit the other day.
- 3:52[SPEAKER_04]: One last comment about the Yankees before we dropped that forever.
- 3:56[SPEAKER_04]: The Yankees must be feeling really, really bad about themselves because they couldn't get anybody on the blue jays out.
- 4:04[SPEAKER_04]: Here comes the Mariners exhausted staff and just like you said, Michelle, the opening home run and then one more single after that.
- 4:12[SPEAKER_04]: The whole game.
- 4:15[SPEAKER_04]: Amazing.
- 4:21[SPEAKER_02]: Just this allow.
- 4:24[SPEAKER_02]: the Mariners to wait until Wednesday to pitch Kestia.
- 4:31[SPEAKER_04]: It's a great question.
- 4:32[SPEAKER_04]: I'm not sure I can predict anybody's pitching moves more after the after the Brewers threw their closer for one inning to open the game yesterday.
- 4:42[SPEAKER_04]: I, I have quit trying to figure out.
- 4:45[SPEAKER_04]: Gosman looked great and then he gave up a home run and I thought he got
- 4:52[SPEAKER_04]: myself.
- 4:53[SPEAKER_04]: So in addition to asking who's going to start pitching for these guys, I just want to know when the next 7 to 6 games going to happen.
- 5:03[SPEAKER_04]: Monday, these have been some very low scoring games lately.
- 5:10[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes that happens.
- 5:11[SPEAKER_00]: You get into the postseason and you just, I don't know exactly what it is.
- 5:15[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if it's
- 5:21[SPEAKER_02]: Paul, tell you where the runs are going to come.
- 5:24[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, and the NLCS and mostly from one team.
- 5:28[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, so you're making your tipping your hand on your prediction already.
- 5:32[SPEAKER_04]: I am Dodgers and four.
- 5:36[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, you know, the Dodgers have not beaten the brewers all year.
- 5:41[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, let me repeat this Dodgers and four.
- 5:47[SPEAKER_00]: The Dodgers and the burges that's going to be an interesting series, I think the blue jays coming into this and that their bats have been really hot and really good for the first for them for the first two rounds.
- 6:01[SPEAKER_00]: Can they keep it up?
- 6:02[SPEAKER_00]: I think they can you got guys like Botania he he was great against the red.
- 6:08[SPEAKER_00]: He wasn't so good in the last series, but you got Freddie Freeman knows how to be clutch.
- 6:14[SPEAKER_00]: The Dodgers have some pitching.
- 6:16[SPEAKER_00]: I think the Dodgers will beat the brewers.
- 6:18[SPEAKER_00]: The best line every month.
- 6:19[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and yeah, I do think the Dodgers will win that seriously.
- 6:24[SPEAKER_00]: I'll say my prediction for how many games because it'll allow me to think through the rest of our podcasts that you're trying to make them to flip the coin mentally in my mind.
- 6:33[SPEAKER_00]: I just think the Dodgers are stronger and offensively.
- 6:40[SPEAKER_00]: They've got experience pitching.
- 6:44[SPEAKER_00]: And I'll give them the edge and managing because Roberts has been to the world series.
- 6:50[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, he's lost him, but he's also won some.
- 6:51[SPEAKER_00]: So I just think the Dodgers get the check marks in most of the categories.
- 6:57[SPEAKER_04]: Anybody with half a brain who saw the Dodgers squeak by the red ha ha and also beat the fillies should be picking the Dodgers.
- 7:10[SPEAKER_02]: Throw on top of that, the brooch history
- 7:14[SPEAKER_04]: I think there's going to be a different year, you're trying to force me to go out there and pick the broom.
- 7:21[SPEAKER_02]: They're supposed to walk to the cubs, Paul.
- 7:24[SPEAKER_02]: That is right.
- 7:25[SPEAKER_02]: Give away a series to the cubs.
- 7:27[SPEAKER_04]: It would not, it would depend on parole to pitching a lot better.
- 7:34[SPEAKER_04]: And priester, who would be happy to be not facing the cubs, maybe he could string some innings together.
- 7:42[SPEAKER_04]: It would take a lot for the for the brewers to win that thing.
- 7:46[SPEAKER_04]: But I think I think don't do better than you think they will.
- 7:50[SPEAKER_02]: There's not a picture on the planet who would rather face the cubs than the doctor.
- 7:59[SPEAKER_04]: Also, what area is there an area you think Milwaukee is better than the doctor than the doctor than the doctor than they will strike out as much they'll put the ball in play And they can manufacture some runs up and down you never know who's gonna get Who's gonna make contact and One through nine is definitely their strength offensively
- 8:28[SPEAKER_02]: Yellowish is a big name.
- 8:30[SPEAKER_02]: Nobody who strikes fear into your heart, but one through nine, you're gonna have to battle a bunch of guests.
- 8:35[SPEAKER_02]: That's correct.
- 8:38[SPEAKER_04]: And the dodging strategy is gonna be challenged, I think.
- 8:45[SPEAKER_04]: There are some weaknesses in that Dodger bullpin, uh, not sure.
- 8:50[SPEAKER_04]: I'm, they're disguising them by throwing starters out there and doing all kinds of things, but if it's a, if the birds can keep it close, they can stretch the Dodger bullpin, I think.
- 9:03[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think there's anything I'd rather see less than the Brewers in the World Series.
- 9:08[SPEAKER_02]: Wait a minute.
- 9:09[SPEAKER_04]: You would rather see the Dodgers go back to the World Series?
- 9:14[SPEAKER_02]: Oh yeah.
- 9:15[SPEAKER_02]: There are things admirable about the Dodgers franchise.
- 9:18[SPEAKER_02]: What's there about the Brewers franchise?
- 9:19[SPEAKER_02]: It's any good except for Bob Eucer.
- 9:22[SPEAKER_02]: Bob Eucer, this is the Memorial Bob Eucer at tour.
- 9:26[SPEAKER_02]: And still he's not as good as Vince's going to.
- 9:33[SPEAKER_02]: Our picks competition through two rounds.
- 9:35[SPEAKER_02]: I put Uncle Paul and Michelle and my cuts will up against the rest of our contributors to the Central Indiana Sports Report and some local media and Daniel Bragg of Bragg Sports Media picked all four series right in the divisional round and takes the lead.
- 9:54[SPEAKER_02]: with 32 points.
- 9:56[SPEAKER_02]: He scored 18 this round, the most of anybody.
- 10:00[SPEAKER_02]: Grant, Shouse of the Action Sports Network, our IU guy and Jay Stevens of the Cocomo post are tied for second with 28 and then Michelle Garmin.
- 10:10[SPEAKER_02]: the Tipton Tribunal would call leader, and Sam Frick of A&EC Sports, and our Colts guy, both have 27.
- 10:18[SPEAKER_02]: Sam got three of the four series, right in the description.
- 10:23[SPEAKER_02]: As did Jake Dunn, our Purdue guy who has 26, Kate Hampton of the Muncie Star Press, went from Tide for first place to
- 10:34[SPEAKER_02]: eighth place by only getting one of the series right here.
- 10:38[SPEAKER_02]: The Dodgers in five, yes, 25 points.
- 10:41[SPEAKER_02]: Our fight guy hands in craft in 24, Kevin Helfer at 23, Paul tipped in and my cuts all both have 22.
- 10:50[SPEAKER_02]: They've channelly our Indy car guy 19, your host Greg Mendel.
- 10:57[SPEAKER_02]: is in first place in his mind.
- 10:59[SPEAKER_02]: Will rather than furred of strictly bias with will rather than furred 15 and Jeremy Giggie of White River Communications as 14 and we love all the picks everybody made on our next baseball report.
- 11:19[SPEAKER_02]: So let's get to our predictions, guys.
- 11:20[SPEAKER_02]: We might as well just start with the Dodgers.
- 11:23[SPEAKER_02]: I've already said sweep.
- 11:25[SPEAKER_02]: And I think we're all leaning toward the Dodgers Michelle.
- 11:29[SPEAKER_00]: I am.
- 11:29[SPEAKER_00]: I'm leaning towards the Dodgers.
- 11:31[SPEAKER_00]: And I was thinking between five or six.
- 11:33[SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna say the Dodgers in six.
- 11:36[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I'm gonna make it interesting then.
- 11:37[SPEAKER_04]: You guys are pushing me.
- 11:39[SPEAKER_04]: Brothers in seven.
- 11:43[SPEAKER_04]: I know.
- 11:43[SPEAKER_04]: I know.
- 11:44[SPEAKER_04]: I don't even think I'll take that much heat when I'm wrong because I just I would like to pull an upset and pick one of these right, but I'll be I'll be pulling with my heart Greg because I think America disagrees with you.
- 12:03[SPEAKER_04]: we'd much rather see the brewers go back to the world series for the second time and their first time represented in the national league then to see the Dodgers repeat oh Paul, I agree with you.
- 12:14[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's great.
- 12:15[SPEAKER_00]: Well, the rest of the mergers in the brewers.
- 12:18[SPEAKER_00]: I think that would be a great world series.
- 12:20[SPEAKER_02]: It would be.
- 12:22[SPEAKER_02]: It would be.
- 12:23[SPEAKER_02]: Well, then you guys are wrong and that's okay.
- 12:26[SPEAKER_02]: You're a lot of
- 12:35[SPEAKER_04]: Well, maybe this is the time where you make a statement, if the Brewers beat the Dodgers in the NLCS this year, then you would cheer for the American League.
- 12:50[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, great women, you said you're rarely wrong.
- 12:53[SPEAKER_02]: All the candidates want to present this battle as Wisconsin.
- 12:56[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, hey, Greg, you said you were not, you were mostly right.
- 13:01[SPEAKER_00]: Where are you in our baseball predictions, standings?
- 13:10[SPEAKER_02]: So, we move to the American League.
- 13:15[SPEAKER_00]: No answer.
- 13:24[SPEAKER_02]: And Michelle, who's in fourth place, who's going to win the Blue Jays Mariners series?
- 13:29[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going with the Mariners.
- 13:30[SPEAKER_00]: I was going with the Mariners.
- 13:31[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, that's who I want to win.
- 13:33[SPEAKER_00]: I'm I'm ready for him.
- 13:34[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm going to pick him because outside the reds in this playoffs is the only other team I've really wanted to win.
- 13:42[SPEAKER_00]: And because of that, I don't like picking against the team I want to win because I feel like I can't root for that team.
- 13:49[SPEAKER_00]: I'm taking the Mariners long series, but I think this one could be Mariners in seven.
- 13:54[SPEAKER_00]: Like you Greg, I don't really want to, the blue jays have got a great offense, but I really do not want to see a Canadian team get into the world series baseball.
- 14:02[SPEAKER_00]: It's an American game, it's America's past time, it's not Canadian, Canadians can keep their hockey.
- 14:08[SPEAKER_02]: Plus, Canada's.
- 14:10[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
- 14:11[SPEAKER_00]: So, Mariners in seven.
- 14:13[SPEAKER_02]: Everybody knows that Paul.
- 14:15[SPEAKER_02]: Canada's the worst.
- 14:17[SPEAKER_02]: I, uh, I disagree completely.
- 14:20[SPEAKER_04]: They're by far our worst neighbor.
- 14:23[SPEAKER_04]: disagree.
- 14:24[SPEAKER_04]: I'm going to go with the blue jays in six.
- 14:26[SPEAKER_04]: I think the Mariners strike out too much.
- 14:29[SPEAKER_04]: They impressed me on the base pass tonight.
- 14:31[SPEAKER_04]: But I think maybe there.
- 14:35[SPEAKER_04]: There'll be some walks to Cal Rally who and.
- 14:38[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, that'd be the first one, man.
- 14:41[SPEAKER_04]: Didn't he though.
- 14:42[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, just when just from the blue jays thought that he would have the same game that blood graro had tonight where he was just going to either strike out or ground out.
- 14:54[SPEAKER_04]: uh... the mariner's pitching is gonna be tested if they're uh... if they pitch like they did against the tigers uh... the blue jazer in for uh... long haul but can't see all those blue jazes batters going into a slump even though they only got two hits tonight
- 15:12[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you, Ben, on the Blue Jason's June or July, somewhere around there thinking June 30th and then on Canada Day, oh, Canada.
- 15:22[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, that lovely July 1st.
- 15:24[SPEAKER_04]: I see you and Michelle are not really celebrating Canada Day, so.
- 15:28[SPEAKER_02]: They do have a lovely anthem.
- 15:30[SPEAKER_04]: Canada is a wonderful
- 15:39[SPEAKER_02]: I asked you to be honest and I'm going to be honest with my pick.
- 15:42[SPEAKER_02]: I picked Mariners in seven.
- 15:44[SPEAKER_02]: I feel a lot better about that pick right now And I probably would say six right now, but coming into the night I had Mariners in seven.
- 15:54[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to say Mariners in seven.
- 15:55[SPEAKER_02]: I really hope the Mariners win this whole thing because the other three teams turn my stomach I would have rather had the cubs than any of those
- 16:10[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, exactly.
- 16:11[SPEAKER_01]: The final thoughts will start with Michelle.
- 16:17[SPEAKER_00]: I think we've experienced a great weekend of baseball, starting with 15 inning thriller.
- 16:23[SPEAKER_00]: Not granted, the game could have ended by been in the earlier by either team, but it's still exciting going 15 innings, one run game.
- 16:32[SPEAKER_00]: Then you have the burrs and the cubs, below scoring it, good game yesterday, and then tonight to open up the series where our masterful performance by the Mariners like Paulson, you
- 16:47[SPEAKER_00]: You have to fly all the way across the country.
- 16:49[SPEAKER_00]: Really?
- 16:49[SPEAKER_03]: Yup.
- 16:50[SPEAKER_00]: What a great, tonight's game.
- 16:53[SPEAKER_00]: Cap Gov.
- 16:55[SPEAKER_00]: A great weekend of baseball.
- 16:57[SPEAKER_00]: So looking forward to the rest of the playoff.
- 17:03[SPEAKER_04]: Well, as the prediction show, almost anything can happen, and we've seen some very surprising storylines.
- 17:09[SPEAKER_04]: I'm about ready with all these pitching gems to see a slug fest, and that would be good just for a variety of sake.
- 17:18[SPEAKER_04]: And I hope when one team breaks out with a bunch of runs, the other team can hang with them for a drama sake.
- 17:24[SPEAKER_04]: Hey, to see any blowouts.
- 17:26[SPEAKER_04]: Now, it's been very surprising entertaining, and obviously,
- 17:32[SPEAKER_04]: You used to know a lot about baseball, but maybe not this year.
- 17:38[SPEAKER_02]: My final thought is Go Mariners.
- 17:43[SPEAKER_02]: We'll be back throughout the postseason to continue to talk about major league baseball, probably Monday night.
- 17:51[SPEAKER_02]: It's the very latest Tuesday.
- 17:52[SPEAKER_02]: Please join us again.
- 17:55[SPEAKER_02]: This is Dr. Linana Sports Report.
- 17:56[SPEAKER_02]: It's a product of ITG Media and I love Susie.
