• 0:00
  Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Three O Take, where we talk
• 0:04
  all things Major League Baseball.
• 0:06
  Here's Kyle Corwin and Nate Reyes.
• 0:10
  It. All starts right now.
• 0:15
  Welcome back to the three O take presented by Chinook Cedry.
• 0:17
  This is episode 580. I'll be your host Kyle Cordon.
• 0:19
  I'm here with my Co host Nate Reyes and Nate.
• 0:26
  Casey, how are we? Not as good as you got.
• 0:30
  Got into the new digs, moved into the new digs.
• 0:34
  It's like 6 inches from the highway.
• 0:37
  Yeah, not a highway. It's just a normal.
• 0:39
  Road that just a normal. Apparently everyone needs to
• 0:41
  take right now. At 9:00 at night local time.
• 0:45
  In like a neighborhood, yeah. This is like a neighborhood
• 0:50
  area. Didn't think that was going to
• 0:52
  be a factor, but yeah. Sorry man, it's exciting.
• 0:56
  It is exciting there's apologize for any sounds we're there's
• 1:00
  probably still a little echo. The walls are empty right now.
• 1:03
  Only thing up there is ATV and a desk.
• 1:06
  Just got things in here right before the game stream the game,
• 1:11
  but I still got to get to get the set up.
• 1:13
  So this is not the view you're going to be seeing.
• 1:14
  You're going to you're going to get a good good backdrop.
• 1:17
  It's going to be swag and memorabilia back there, so we'll
• 1:21
  be riding normal soon. New digs for the.
• 1:25
  Just need a freaking break, you know?
• 1:27
  We just need the schedule to relax for a SEC.
• 1:30
  Schedule is just just keep scheduling, you know?
• 1:35
  Schedule is scheduling. Sheesh.
• 1:37
  Happy for you though. Got into the new digs in time
• 1:40
  for the home stretch of this final series of the season
• 1:45
  there. Man, what a series this has
• 1:46
  been. Last time we recorded was after
• 1:49
  Game 2. So folks.
• 1:52
  Stuff has happened. Stuff has happened starting with
• 1:55
  game three. We'll just get right into it
• 1:59
  still. Recovering.
• 2:03
  Never heard a truer saving of my life.
• 2:04
  I'm still feeling the effects of it and I didn't even have a dog
• 2:08
  in the fight. I I know I mentioned on a live
• 2:10
  stream we just did and I'm sure people could probably put two
• 2:12
  and two together. But when the Red Sox and the
• 2:14
  Dodgers or in the 20, excuse me, 2018 World Series and they went
• 2:21
  eighteen, I was up for that whole thing.
• 2:25
  And, you know, was not happy with the way that ended.
• 2:31
  And I was feeling that for days after.
• 2:34
  Did not have a dog. The same way.
• 2:36
  Yeah. Especially not seven years
• 2:40
  later. Holy cow.
• 2:43
  But yeah. Say that out loud.
• 2:45
  I didn't make it. I didn't make it to all 18.
• 2:48
  I'll just hand up. I made it through 15.
• 2:50
  It was 2 in the morning here on the East Coast.
• 2:53
  And I said it's not bad for, you know, a guy that doesn't have a
• 2:57
  dog in a fight is on the East Coast, doesn't have the luxury
• 3:00
  of this game still being in the previous day like it was for
• 3:04
  Dodgers fans. The game ended.
• 3:06
  I heard Dodger fans complaining like, Oh my, when is this going
• 3:09
  to end? I'm like, it's barely even
• 3:10
  midnight out there when the game ended.
• 3:12
  So All in all, what an insane game.
• 3:16
  Just adding to the to the lore of this World Series.
• 3:20
  But I think, I think you and I are in agreement.
• 3:22
  This thing is going 7. Yeah, just punches.
• 3:27
  Just heavy haymaker punches being thrown.
• 3:31
  It's going to go the distance. It's going to mess up our
• 3:35
  schedule. Our wives are probably not going
• 3:37
  to be thrilled with us for our Saturday plans.
• 3:39
  It's going to be interesting. I'm going to be.
• 3:46
  You're going to have to figure something out.
• 3:49
  What am I going to do, man? I'm supposed to be at like a
• 3:51
  wedding reception. Like it's not even the like
• 3:54
  we're not even going for the for the ceremony because they're
• 3:58
  doing it like private, like a private thing.
• 4:02
  And they're just like, hey, the reception, the reception is
• 4:05
  going to be disco themed, so dress accordingly and come have
• 4:08
  a good time. And this just happens to be for
• 4:11
  Game 7 potential game seven. Well, guaranteed game seven
• 4:15
  look. I'm going to say something,
• 4:17
  everyone's thinking it, so I'm just going to come out and say
• 4:19
  it because that's typically what I do.
• 4:24
  If it's disco themed, I don't think they're taking it that
• 4:27
  seriously anyway. It's.
• 4:29
  Kind of what I. Said so.
• 4:32
  Meredith so hard pressed about making sure our costumes are to
• 4:36
  the 10s, to the nines, whatever the phrase is.
• 4:39
  And I'm like you. Feel a little tickle in your
• 4:42
  throat. You got a cough coming?
• 4:43
  Yeah, I think, I think I might need to call out sick even
• 4:46
  though it's a Saturday. Just feels like, feels like that
• 4:51
  kind of what the situation is calling for, you know?
• 4:55
  I don't want to be the one to say it, but you're not going.
• 5:01
  You have my word. I will figure out a way to get
• 5:05
  some sort of content. Even if I have to go and I have
• 5:09
  to bring my phone and a portable charger, I'll do something.
• 5:12
  I'll stream from the dance floor.
• 5:14
  I don't know what I'm going to do.
• 5:15
  Let's talk more Costume. Yeah.
• 5:19
  Fill me in. What are what are?
• 5:20
  What do we have so far? I'm not.
• 5:26
  So I'm, I'm going to be rocking actually this Whataburger chain
• 5:29
  shout out, shout out our guy JB shout out Whataburger shout out
• 5:34
  on the sports. This thing is I never, you know,
• 5:39
  I, I never thought I'd see the day where I'd be wearing this to
• 5:41
  a, a wedding reception, but alas.
• 5:45
  So I'm going to be rocking this. I got a nice loud noisy like
• 5:50
  Paisley 70s type button down today from Goodwill. 3 bucks.
• 5:58
  Dude, I was like 14. I wasn't happy.
• 6:01
  I wasn't happy. That's pushing it.
• 6:03
  I know, I know. I wasn't happy, but I was like.
• 6:06
  Pushing it for me. I was trying to get it under 10
• 6:11
  but you know this is what happens when you sweater when
• 6:13
  you procrastinate. No, it's just a button down, but
• 6:21
  this is what happens when you procrastinate.
• 6:22
  But I'll be able to use it Friday, hopefully, if we we
• 6:25
  decide to dress up for the the folks that come knocking on
• 6:28
  doors, maybe get to have dual purpose for it, But we'll see.
• 6:34
  And then I might go get, I might go get a, a, an Afro wig, pop it
• 6:40
  off literally. But yeah, sounds like you need
• 6:45
  to record in that. I will.
• 6:48
  Oh, and then then I got like Elton John type, like blue
• 6:51
  glasses. And then I got a little disco
• 6:53
  ball on a on a string as a necklace.
• 6:57
  You're very deep into this. You there's you have to go.
• 7:01
  Yeah. What time does it start?
• 7:05
  I see, I don't know, I need to figure that out that that's
• 7:08
  going to dictate whether or not I can, I can really get into
• 7:12
  this Game 7 stream. Look, let's face it.
• 7:15
  Let's face it, is there dinner being served?
• 7:20
  I'm sure there'll be food, yeah. Game starts at 8.
• 7:26
  I know. What if this thing starts at
• 7:29
  six? You put in two hours for people
• 7:34
  you don't even know well. I mean, yeah, I know them, but.
• 7:38
  You know of them? Yeah.
• 7:39
  Look, we don't we, we need to talk ball here.
• 7:42
  The, the point is, the point is, is that I'm going to figure out
• 7:47
  a way and you need, look, if, if I'm going to be going through
• 7:50
  all this and I'm going to commit, I'm going to need, I'm
• 7:53
  going to need you to reciprocate.
• 7:56
  Given that you're not going to be wearing an Afro wig on
• 7:58
  Saturday and you'll have more flexibility.
• 8:00
  I need to, I need to know that I can count on you.
• 8:03
  I know. It's my buddy's birthday but I
• 8:05
  think I'm fine because it's 5-O clock my time.
• 8:09
  So if the game ends at 8:00 I could potentially show up to the
• 8:13
  birthday soiree later, which is a sacrifice starting my night at
• 8:21
  8:00. But that's.
• 8:24
  What you got to do? That's what I got to do for you
• 8:26
  and for the people listening. We'll make it work.
• 8:30
  Final part of the 2025 season. How about it?
• 8:35
  But what it? Going back to my point earlier,
• 8:38
  this has been quite a series. It I, I, I just love a World
• 8:45
  Series where you go into it thinking you know what's coming,
• 8:51
  thinking you're all but certain that a certain team is going to
• 8:57
  manhandle the opponent. Nobody was given the dot the
• 9:01
  Blue Jays a chance. Except Blue Jays fans.
• 9:06
  Dodgers. 3/2. Dodgers fans are saying Dodgers
• 9:09
  in four, the more reasonable ones are saying Dodgers in five.
• 9:15
  And like you just said, Blue Jays are going back to Toronto,
• 9:20
  up 3, two and going back to game three.
• 9:23
  Like we were just talking about what's most impressive about
• 9:28
  that is not even the game itself, but the two games
• 9:34
  afterwards that resulted in Toronto wins.
• 9:41
  Like I know that we and we can dissect the 18 inning game all
• 9:45
  we want. The numbers that it was like 609
• 9:47
  pitches, 6 hours. I think in in it was close to 7
• 9:53
  hours. But what's most impressive to me
• 9:58
  about it wasn't even the game itself necessarily.
• 10:01
  Now that we've seen the two games since then, I think I can
• 10:04
  point to the fact that it was the Jays taking those two games
• 10:07
  because how like it. And I think I saw Ernie Clement
• 10:11
  talking about how, you know, weaker men would have would have
• 10:15
  rolled over. We're we're a bunch of uncommon
• 10:18
  men, I think is what he said, which I love that.
• 10:21
  I mean, especially do that on the road.
• 10:24
  That's, you know, got to tip your cap there.
• 10:26
  That mean that's that's impressive and to do it in in
• 10:30
  pretty convincing fashion. And now you're going back to LA,
• 10:33
  or excuse me, back to Toronto, a win away from your first World
• 10:37
  Series since 1990, three, 1993. What a great year, by the way.
• 10:40
  Fantastic year, important year, a lot of important people were
• 10:45
  were were landed. At least two people.
• 10:51
  Yeah. 2 Two people on this on this episode were were born that
• 10:56
  year. So that in it in and of itself a
• 10:59
  great, makes it a great year, yeah.
• 11:02
  I mean, you're wrong because like that that's, that's a gut
• 11:06
  punch. Like whoever loses that game
• 11:10
  after putting in a marathon, it's 2 full games.
• 11:13
  Two full games. After losing that, like that is
• 11:17
  a hard recovery to not just bounce back for one win, but to
• 11:22
  bounce back for 2 in LA. You won two of three in LA.
• 11:29
  You got to be feeling really good as a Blue Jays fan and as a
• 11:33
  player. You got to be feeling really,
• 11:35
  really good like that is. I mean it.
• 11:40
  There's a couple swings, there's a couple things that could have
• 11:44
  gone the other way in that game three and this series could have
• 11:47
  ended tonight, you know what I mean?
• 11:48
  That could have gone the Blue Jays way.
• 11:50
  It's 2 full games. There's how many runners left on
• 11:54
  base? 17 by them.
• 11:56
  Something like that. 37 combined runners left on base.
• 12:02
  Here's I'll just run you through the quick facts here, 18 and in
• 12:06
  six hours, 39 minutes, 609 combined pitches.
• 12:09
  Freddie Freeman, obviously with the walk off Homer, Shohei
• 12:12
  Ohtani. Shohei Ohtani literally had two
• 12:17
  two days at the office in one game.
• 12:22
  Like a good. Week.
• 12:23
  He had a great week in in in a literal single game, 4 for 4/2
• 12:29
  double, S2 homers and five walks.
• 12:33
  That's a that's a good week. That's a good that's for some.
• 12:39
  That's a good two weeks. Will Klein, the Will Klein game,
• 12:45
  I think it's, it's going to be called if, if the Dodgers can
• 12:48
  somehow come back and win this thing, they'll they'll be able
• 12:51
  to look back at Will Klein as a as a huge reason. 4 innings of 0
• 12:55
  earned runs in relief. A lot of people making comps to
• 12:58
  Nate Ivaldi. Nate Ivaldi threw longer than
• 13:06
  the actual starter in that game and I think went six.
• 13:10
  So slightly different. Also on the road, let's a.
• 13:19
  Little different. Let's show my guy native all
• 13:23
  these some some respect that he's he's due 37 runners up on
• 13:27
  base 25 position players used 19 pitchers used just I mean, it's
• 13:39
  it almost kind of makes you frankly not even really care
• 13:43
  about game 4. Yeah, yeah.
• 13:47
  Because I, I mean, I hate to put that out there, but it is true
• 13:50
  because. And I don't know about you, but
• 13:53
  I, I just, you know, I'm chronically online, as they say.
• 13:59
  And I just got this sense that the collective baseball world,
• 14:03
  you know, us baseball sickos that are tuning in for all of it
• 14:07
  because, you know, there's people that have already tuned
• 14:08
  out. They've already checked out
• 14:09
  like, oh, the Dodgers, I'm, I'm not watching another game.
• 14:12
  Whatever. US baseball sickos that are
• 14:14
  locked in for this entire post season.
• 14:17
  I got this sense that the collective baseball world was
• 14:22
  kind of laying low for game four.
• 14:24
  Like, I just didn't feel like it.
• 14:25
  We were getting as much content from the baseball community.
• 14:29
  I didn't feel like we are getting as many hot takes fired
• 14:33
  off during Game 4 and I just feel like the guys themselves,
• 14:38
  like the players themselves or even just like, all right, let's
• 14:41
  just, you know, let's do what we can to get through this game.
• 14:44
  I think we all kind of felt that way.
• 14:46
  We're all running on coffee and white monsters.
• 14:50
  Except the Blue Jays. Except the Blue Jays.
• 14:53
  They they're like, Nah, we're we're chilling.
• 14:56
  Don't. Even care.
• 14:58
  Don't know what you're talking about.
• 15:00
  Even care. Uncommon men, Yeah, a lesser
• 15:04
  bunch would have rolled over. But that's the thing with this
• 15:09
  team is that. I went away from the World
• 15:11
  Series. I hate to like always, I hate to
• 15:18
  always lean towards offense because like, pitching has
• 15:21
  looked good. Like tonight pitching looked
• 15:24
  good. But I mean, they scored what, 6
• 15:28
  tonight? 6 Tonight 6.
• 15:33
  Last night there more. Yes, yeah, Six, six to one last
• 15:39
  night, Game 5. Yeah, back-to-back 66 run games.
• 15:43
  It's just like there's a relentlessness, but there's also
• 15:50
  like this level of creating your own momentum, you know what I
• 15:56
  mean? Like it it, there are a lot of
• 15:58
  teams that I watch that it feels like, OK, we're waiting for that
• 16:04
  specific moment in a game that helps us get momentum.
• 16:10
  And then sometimes like teams don't take that momentum and
• 16:14
  keep going or sometimes teams need more than that one moment.
• 16:18
  It, it just, it feels like the Blue Jays just never need
• 16:23
  anything. They don't need anything to
• 16:25
  create that momentum. It's just there, it's it's a
• 16:29
  walk, it's a pass ball. It's a overturned call from
• 16:34
  being safe to out or vice versa. Like it's just, it's the
• 16:38
  smallest thing where you're like, that's not a momentum
• 16:40
  shift for them. It is.
• 16:42
  And this is just what they do. They just keep going.
• 16:46
  They're relentless. This is a great match up.
• 16:51
  I think this would have been no disrespect, but I think it would
• 16:54
  have been toast if it was Dodgers, Mariners.
• 16:57
  I think the just the way the Blue Jays have played and it's
• 17:01
  literally like 2 months now. It's 2 full months of playing
• 17:04
  this way, if not 3. Basically post deadline, just
• 17:11
  let's just go. Let's just go and play good hard
• 17:14
  nosed ball every day and if we lose, who cares?
• 17:19
  It doesn't even affect us. That's what it feels like.
• 17:22
  They don't care. And of following arguably what
• 17:27
  could have been the most gun gut wrenching loss of the season.
• 17:32
  Don't care. I'm going to come back, put 6 up
• 17:35
  on you, and Oh yeah, I'm going to do it again the next night,
• 17:38
  too. Correction, I said it was 61
• 17:45
  game four. It was 6 two game 461 Game 5.
• 17:50
  But your point? My point remains, which is nice
• 17:54
  because I I would have been mad at you because I didn't look it
• 17:56
  up. No, I knew you're right with the
• 17:59
  six, but I, I just, I had misattributed to the Dodgers.
• 18:05
  But yeah, man, that offensively it's night and day right now
• 18:12
  because even if you go back to the 18 inning game, if like if
• 18:20
  you want to get if you want to get technical, sure, it's one
• 18:24
  game. Six runs in one game isn't bad,
• 18:26
  but you're really playing 2. So like, think of how I mean, if
• 18:32
  you look at it that way, Dodgers, yeah, if the Dodgers
• 18:36
  offense not not looking great that game, not looking great in
• 18:40
  Game 4, not looking great in Game 5.
• 18:43
  So where does that leave you now that you're also, by the way,
• 18:48
  heading back to Toronto where I just don't I, I don't know.
• 18:55
  And you struggled deciding if you wanted to pronounce that
• 18:58
  second T, didn't you? I saw you.
• 19:01
  I I heard you and saw you. Toronto, bro, did you see the
• 19:06
  the the kickback we got on that the blowback a.
• 19:09
  Lot. Bro, we got, we got all of that.
• 19:14
  Let me read you. Let me read you this one
• 19:15
  comment. By the way, you sat on that for
• 19:17
  a good minute before you said something.
• 19:21
  I didn't want to I I battled whether I wanted to interrupt
• 19:23
  you or not. That's fair.
• 19:25
  That's fair. I respect that.
• 19:27
  Yeah. So we got this, this one guy,
• 19:31
  this one guy goes I can't wait until this was on the video I
• 19:36
  posted of us trying to figure out what the Nate like the
• 19:39
  residents of Toronto are called. And this guy goes, I can't wait
• 19:43
  until Toronto is back off all of your radars.
• 19:46
  And I said, meaning you can't wait until they suck.
• 19:50
  Because usually if a team's not on your radar, that means
• 19:52
  they're not relevant. Yeah.
• 19:53
  I don't. Know.
• 19:56
  And he said no, I can't wait until ignorant Americans from
• 19:59
  the US go back to ignoring Canada and keeping our name out
• 20:02
  of their mouths. Yeah, sure, we try to be polite
• 20:05
  and try to be nice, but then you go and open your mouth about us.
• 20:08
  Like, bro, we're just trying to figure out what you are called
• 20:10
  that that if I mean if that if that makes us ignorant bigots.
• 20:18
  Whatever. See, this goes back to what I
• 20:20
  said about when I was up there. That's what I'm I'm more and
• 20:23
  more convinced that every day when I was up there for Canada
• 20:27
  Day, I was like, I don't know if I like you people and I I like,
• 20:33
  I like most people, but I don't know, I'm not, I'm not too, I'm
• 20:38
  not too thrilled with with Canada in the, in the big year
• 20:42
  2025. However, back to my point this,
• 20:52
  you are not the driver's seat. If you're the Dodgers, you're
• 20:55
  going back. You're going back to Toronto
• 20:59
  where you've just been. You've just been outplayed.
• 21:05
  You've been outplayed. You've absolutely been
• 21:09
  outplayed. And you're, you are in a
• 21:11
  position obviously, where you're having to crawl and scratch to
• 21:17
  stay alive in Game 6. And like I said, I think this
• 21:22
  thing's going 7. So I'm, I'm just going to go
• 21:24
  ahead and say that they figure out a way to, to take Game 6.
• 21:28
  But I, I just don't feel like at any point the Dodgers over the
• 21:34
  next two games, assuming this goes seven, that they're going
• 21:36
  to feel like they're in control of this thing because you
• 21:42
  couldn't even handle business at home.
• 21:44
  And what did we say? What did we talk about before
• 21:46
  they, they started this, this stretch of the series in LA?
• 21:50
  We said, can we even really consider Dodger Stadium hostile?
• 21:54
  And I, you know, full context. You were more so just proving a
• 21:58
  point of like post season environment, bright lights,
• 22:02
  things like that. And and I understood what you're
• 22:04
  saying, but then it made. Me think it was sure.
• 22:08
  But then, you know, as we got to talk more about it, I'm like,
• 22:11
  genuine question. Can like haven't really thought
• 22:14
  of that before. Can't like let let's talk about
• 22:16
  it is can we call Dodger Stadium or even consider them a hostile
• 22:20
  environment? And I don't and I saw tweets
• 22:22
  about it during these last two games where it was like shame on
• 22:28
  Dodgers fans for treating game four and five of the World
• 22:32
  Series like it's a a weekday series in June.
• 22:36
  And I couldn't disagree because like, I was looking at the
• 22:40
  weather, it was like 90° out there.
• 22:45
  Then I'm like, this is just another night.
• 22:47
  I mean, no, you know, no disrespect.
• 22:49
  I, I'm sure they understand the magnitude, but they didn't act
• 22:52
  like they did. You know, it.
• 22:53
  I I don't know. I think hostility and
• 22:57
  affordability have a direct correlation.
• 23:01
  That's a bar. Appreciate it.
• 23:04
  Appreciate it. As a great point.
• 23:07
  Yeah. So I don't know.
• 23:13
  Yeah, I mean, the Dodgers are, they're just not putting
• 23:17
  together anything overly impressive.
• 23:20
  I don't think there's any like Shohei kind of does it in like
• 23:26
  little little flurries and then will kind of get worked around
• 23:32
  and not really it kind of just be neutralized in a way, right.
• 23:37
  And then you don't really have anyone else in the lineup
• 23:39
  showing up. Like there's I know Kiki hit a
• 23:41
  bomb tonight, but like I'm just I'm not seeing I know Freddie
• 23:48
  with the walk off home run, but like these names just aren't
• 23:54
  really Mookie isn't been himself.
• 23:55
  Like these names just aren't really showing up and stringing
• 23:59
  together consecutive offensive impact.
• 24:07
  You know, they're just, they're not really stringing it
• 24:09
  together. It's interesting.
• 24:16
  And I'm not saying that's the only way to win, but it just
• 24:21
  feels like unless there's some dominant performance out of out
• 24:26
  of Yamamoto, that's there's some dominant performance out of
• 24:30
  their pitchers. It's like, I don't know, just
• 24:35
  not really able to hang. And I mean, the offense isn't on
• 24:44
  on the same pace as the Blue Jays.
• 24:46
  And so otherwise, it's like the pitching needs to hold them down
• 24:49
  to give them a chance and they're not.
• 24:53
  To your point about guys like Mookie not looking like
• 24:55
  themselves, Dodgers the one through 4 for the the Dodger
• 24:59
  lineup tonight in Game 5/1 for 15/8.
• 25:02
  Strikeouts. No runs, no walks.
• 25:08
  It's not going to get it done. It's not going to get it done.
• 25:14
  And we're well past the point of being able to chalk this up to
• 25:17
  well, you know, we were, we were hurt.
• 25:21
  We, we, we were strapped for depth and and this and it like
• 25:25
  we're well beyond that point. You cake walked your way here.
• 25:29
  OK, So clearly that wasn't an issue.
• 25:31
  That's that's irrelevant. You were just getting outplayed.
• 25:35
  Right now, any, any, and I mean any, any team making it to this
• 25:44
  point in the season in any year is bruised and battered.
• 25:51
  It's not an excuse. Does not matter.
• 25:54
  Sorry, not enough. And again, going back to game
• 25:59
  three, if anybody had an excuse to be like, man, we're just
• 26:03
  down, we're ready to get kicked, it would be the Blue Jays.
• 26:08
  But no games four, six runs, game 5-6 runs, two wins.
• 26:17
  There is no there. That is what it boils down to.
• 26:20
  You are getting outplayed. And unless your offense can
• 26:26
  somehow flip a switch on the flight to Toronto, this is it's
• 26:34
  over. Because we're talking about
• 26:38
  stars like these stars of stars in Los Angeles right now doing
• 26:45
  nothing and you're getting out played by a by a bunch of dudes
• 26:55
  that start their days with Tim Horton's.
• 27:00
  Could be the secret. A bunch of ball players that
• 27:03
  start their days with Tim Horton's that I mean, it's kind
• 27:10
  of, it's kind of frustrating honestly, because it's like, and
• 27:16
  I know, like I, I, I know I've said like this has been a great
• 27:18
  series and I, I still think there's potential for this, you
• 27:21
  know, again, if this thing goes 7 for it to be to go down as one
• 27:25
  of one of the better World Series we've seen in some time.
• 27:27
  But it's like Dodgers pull your weight a little bit, you know,
• 27:34
  and I know you're only down one game, but right now it just
• 27:36
  feels like the Blue Jays are in total control and unaffected,
• 27:43
  unbothered, unaffected. It's.
• 27:46
  Just. I I don't get it.
• 27:49
  I don't get it. Who are our probables for
• 27:54
  Friday? It'd be no, It would be
• 28:01
  Yamamoto. Yamamoto and Gosman, or would
• 28:10
  it? Be Yamada, Yeah.
• 28:15
  Can we real quick before we move on too far, can we talk about
• 28:21
  Yamamoto warming up for game? Three such a baller move.
• 28:26
  That's kind of insane. And that was.
• 28:29
  Like you, that's not a pump fake.
• 28:31
  That's not like a not window shopping.
• 28:35
  You know what I'm saying? Like that's real deal.
• 28:37
  You had he. They didn't have a choice like
• 28:40
  he. He.
• 28:42
  Had to at least be available if that thing was going to go 20
• 28:46
  innings. That was it.
• 28:48
  I I gained a lot of respect for that guy right then and there It
• 28:53
  you know, it doesn't always happen where there's like a
• 28:55
  singular moment where it's like, holy smokes, I just I my stock
• 29:00
  for you just shot through the roof did for him with that with
• 29:04
  that moment I'm. Going to throw out, I'm going to
• 29:05
  throw out, not necessarily a prediction or maybe somewhat of
• 29:10
  a take, but just just a receipt, a, a safety receipt if you will,
• 29:15
  just in case we need to go back on this.
• 29:18
  If Yamamoto goes out strong Friday, I'll say if Yamamoto
• 29:24
  goes 7 plus and the Dodgers come back and win this thing, he's my
• 29:31
  MVP. He's been unbelievable.
• 29:36
  He's been absolutely unbelievable.
• 29:39
  And for competitive sake, for making sure this season goes as
• 29:45
  long as possible, I hope he does.
• 29:48
  I hope he comes out Friday and does his thing and whatever
• 29:52
  happens in Game 7 happens. But I think it's one of those,
• 29:57
  if he does something strong, and I mean 7 + 2 earned or less
• 30:03
  multiple, you know, 8 plus strikeouts or whatever, we're
• 30:06
  going to chalk this up as one of the best pitching performances
• 30:10
  in World Series history, win or lose.
• 30:15
  I have no doubt that he will, which is why I'm pushing this to
• 30:19
  seven. I know I keep saying that, but I
• 30:23
  and it's it's truly not a bit. I just don't like it's been a
• 30:27
  while since I've seen a match up like this where I'm like this
• 30:32
  thing is going the distance. And it was, it was after those
• 30:36
  first two games where I was like, OK, I can, I can see how
• 30:41
  some, some blows would, would be exchanged in this series and
• 30:44
  they have been. But it's time for the Dodgers to
• 30:48
  return the favour because they've been, they've been
• 30:50
  lacking a little bit. Talking about performances on
• 30:55
  the mound, though, Trey is savage.
• 30:57
  Oh my. Disgusting.
• 31:00
  So good dude. And.
• 31:02
  We were talking about it on the stream tonight and I, you know,
• 31:05
  we're talking about how he's been generally like very good.
• 31:10
  And I think even when he's encountered a couple bumps and
• 31:16
  bruises along the way, the, the, I think the term that I used on
• 31:21
  the live stream was that he, you know, he's handled it with the
• 31:24
  maturity of a of a veteran like he just, and especially on the
• 31:29
  mound in, in Los Angeles where the, the lights are the
• 31:32
  brightest, did not seem to be bothered whatsoever.
• 31:36
  And that was impressive to see. Yeah.
• 31:39
  And one of our trivia questions for for tonight is that he is
• 31:46
  was he the 5th or 6th? I think there was.
• 31:54
  I think there was 5 before him. Maybe he was the 5th.
• 31:57
  I think he's the 5th or the 6th rookie to make 5 postseason
• 32:04
  starts and I don't think people remember or understand the fact
• 32:09
  that he only made three regular season starts this year.
• 32:14
  And shout out our guy Josh for dropping another nugget is that
• 32:18
  he's eligible to be a rookie next year.
• 32:24
  I mean it's just what he's doing is insane.
• 32:28
  This is a good run, Yeah. This is the kind of run that
• 32:31
  earns you a little bit of money in the offseason.
• 32:34
  For sure they'd be smart to it and we we I know you asked that
• 32:37
  question during the stream. I I do think that's something
• 32:41
  that needs to be strongly considered.
• 32:44
  You know, Godsman getting up there in age.
• 32:48
  Obviously, Scherzer, you know, Brios is just, that doesn't
• 32:55
  really seem to be the best contract that the Blue Jays have
• 32:59
  committed to. You know, Chris Bassett is, is
• 33:04
  at least what 3233? I think so.
• 33:08
  No, I was older than that. Is he it's it's I think it makes
• 33:13
  a ton of sense to start building around this guy I.
• 33:15
  Think 36. Yeah, that's an old rotation.
• 33:19
  I think it's absolutely a good call to consider building around
• 33:25
  him. I'm not trying to jump the gun
• 33:29
  too much, but like, if they win the World Series, why not?
• 33:34
  Like, why not try to commit to him and and get him to sign now?
• 33:38
  You know guys getting paid in peanut butter and jellies right
• 33:43
  now? Like, get him something.
• 33:48
  Speaking of age, didn't even mention it when we were talking
• 33:51
  game three, but possibly seeing Clayton Kershaw on the bum for
• 33:56
  the last time of his career? Kind of wild.
• 34:01
  I'm I think he gets in again. You do.
• 34:05
  I think that Dave Roberts can't help but pay attention to
• 34:12
  narratives, whether it's a good thing or bad thing, whether it's
• 34:17
  the right button being pressed at the right time or not.
• 34:20
  I don't think he can help himself.
• 34:22
  I think he's very aware if you want to argue that that's a good
• 34:27
  thing or a bad thing, and that's up to you.
• 34:28
  But I think he is fully, fully aware of the moment and aware of
• 34:33
  what it is. And I mean, what's really tough
• 34:41
  and probably going to hit home more for Dodgers fans is that it
• 34:44
  was absolutely the last time you seen him pitch at Dodger
• 34:47
  Stadium. I'm looking at a picture of him
• 34:49
  right now waving to the crowd, Dodger Stadium before he makes
• 34:53
  his way down to the clubhouse. Last time saying bye to Dodger
• 34:57
  Stadium. Crazy.
• 34:59
  Yeah, we at least know that. We at least know this is the
• 35:03
  last time he's he's in uniform at Dodger Stadium.
• 35:06
  We know that. Yeah, and I think, I think
• 35:08
  you'll, I do think you'll see him in Toronto, but I don't
• 35:11
  know. I just, I don't think Dave
• 35:15
  Roberts can help himself. I mean I I would love for
• 35:24
  Kershaw and no other reason. I would love for them to be up
• 35:30
  plenty in Game 7 just. Have them get in.
• 35:34
  And have him close it out. Not even just to get in, I want
• 35:37
  him to close it out. If they're up enough in Game 7,
• 35:40
  why not? I think I argued.
• 35:43
  I think I argued that, didn't I? Didn't I predict that?
• 35:46
  Got a lot of predictions. You did you, I don't know if you
• 35:49
  predicted it, but you, you know, you made a, you called it out,
• 35:53
  you said let's, you know, it'd be nice to make that happen.
• 35:55
  I'd I'd love to see it. Yeah, I, I think the way they
• 36:01
  did it in Game 3 was, was perfect.
• 36:04
  I mean, that was bases. That was a big moment, that was.
• 36:07
  Loaded got See. Two outs like that was not a
• 36:11
  small moment. Oh count, I think it got to.
• 36:14
  Right. Yeah, dude.
• 36:15
  Like that that's thing was the right time to do it where like
• 36:22
  you can almost like lean on the veteran.
• 36:28
  You can lean on like the the dog mentality that's still in there
• 36:32
  because it's still a Hall of Famer may not be the stuff that
• 36:36
  you're used to, but like I can lean on your mentality in this
• 36:40
  moment in the game. That's what I'm saying.
• 36:42
  I more often than not, Dave Roberts presses that button
• 36:46
  well, but you know he's going to press it.
• 36:52
  And honestly, even if they're down, even if it's Game 7 and
• 36:56
  they're down a ton, I still think he might get in.
• 37:03
  I don't know man, that mean if we was going to have one last
• 37:10
  outing, why not have it? Why not just keep it as getting
• 37:14
  out of a bases loaded jam in your last it's true last outing
• 37:19
  also at home, you know, not a bad.
• 37:21
  Argument. But anyway, yeah, I mean, I
• 37:28
  think we talked about on the live stream, sorry, there's
• 37:30
  it's, it's hard to differentiate between this and the live stream
• 37:33
  because I can't remember. Like what we right into this?
• 37:35
  What we yeah, what we've talked about and what we haven't.
• 37:38
  But Vladdy Junior, another name definitely worth talking about
• 37:42
  having a a postseason for the ages.
• 37:47
  Quite literally. Exaggeration.
• 37:49
  Yeah. No.
• 37:50
  Hyperbole quite literally will go down as one of the best post
• 37:53
  seasons in Major League history. I didn't I don't think I put two
• 38:01
  and two together David Schneider and Vladdy.
• 38:07
  Did they did they both go deep game four or was I just looking
• 38:12
  at the that was I get my box scores mixed up I.
• 38:20
  Don't know Vlad did, but I don't know about Schneider.
• 38:25
  Trying to remember here. No, I was just Vladdy.
• 38:30
  No, So, yeah. But still, I mean, that's guy
• 38:33
  we're talking about. Obviously Vladdy.
• 38:35
  I mean just, I mean off of Ohtani.
• 38:44
  He's done it in all it's, it's all moments.
• 38:47
  It's literally all moments throughout the entire
• 38:49
  postseason. The guy has not shut off.
• 38:52
  I don't, I don't remember a run like this personally.
• 38:57
  Like, I don't remember a postseason performance like this
• 39:01
  in my time of watching baseball. There's probably some names and
• 39:06
  numbers you could throw at me that, you know, might remind me
• 39:08
  of some really good performances.
• 39:10
  But like, I don't know, man, you're talking.
• 39:18
  We're coming up on a full month of dominance, all moments, all
• 39:28
  facets of offense to scoring from first on balls in the gap
• 39:34
  and down the line, good plays, good scoops.
• 39:39
  I mean, it's it's impressive to see the way he's putting the
• 39:45
  ball in plays. It's two strike hitting.
• 39:48
  It's with power. It's with guys on.
• 39:51
  It's it's with guys off. It's not striking out.
• 39:54
  It's walking like it's a complete dominance, you know?
• 40:06
  I I've been thinking about this, but I I think I've arrived at
• 40:09
  this conclusion. I think I ribbed Vladdy Junior
• 40:18
  too hard and too long for his comments about the movie that he
• 40:25
  was talking about for so long. This.
• 40:28
  This the one. You know, if we had to wait a
• 40:31
  few years for it to finally show up.
• 40:34
  With no one, no other, yeah, no other cast members are a part of
• 40:39
  that anymore, really. But.
• 40:41
  Truthfully, but I mean to to get here and to do what he's done.
• 40:48
  I think validate, I mean it it it's a long gap to bridge, but I
• 40:53
  think he if they can, if they can pull this thing off with
• 40:55
  this post season that he's had, I think I think we can say that
• 40:59
  he's finally put a bow on on that conversation.
• 41:02
  So, you know, impressive, impressive run He's on without a
• 41:07
  doubt. Feel like we can wrap it there,
• 41:13
  man. I mean, yeah, kind of kind of
• 41:17
  touched on the the, the heavy hitters here, the the big
• 41:20
  storylines, Anything, anything that's that's on your mind for
• 41:26
  six and potentially 7, anything that sticks out, anything you
• 41:31
  want to see, anything you think needs to be avoided by one team
• 41:36
  or the other. Pretty obvious stuff on the
• 41:40
  Dodger side. The swing and miss has to go
• 41:42
  away. Like hitting wise on the offense
• 41:44
  like they they need to chill then Cosman has just a nasty
• 41:51
  splitter and very easy to swing over the top of They got to lock
• 41:58
  in offensively. I would expect Yamamoto to get
• 42:04
  him back on the on the on the schneid pitching wise, Blue Jays
• 42:14
  wise. Just just keep doing what you're
• 42:20
  doing. We had no critiques man.
• 42:23
  Keep doing what you're doing. It's nothing needed.
• 42:29
  Catchers be better. Tired of seeing sloppiness
• 42:32
  really. Am both sides across the league
• 42:37
  all the time, whole all year. Catchers be better.
• 42:41
  Henry Davis figured out. Just everyone be better.
• 42:46
  Good night, Ricochet. Uncalled for, No disrespect.
• 42:55
  Yeah, Yamamoto pushes it to seven, and then it's up for
• 43:00
  grabs Saturday night. Saturday Night Fever.
• 43:07
  Dude, we got to, we got to have a dialogue.
• 43:09
  I don't know, I don't understand.
• 43:10
  Do you have an iPad or something?
• 43:14
  You're going to bring the MacBook, leave it in the car.
• 43:16
  You're just going to go sit in the in the car with your Afro?
• 43:19
  Dude, that's the OK. So that's the crazy part about
• 43:22
  this. We might have to metro in.
• 43:24
  It's in DC. Oh my gosh, you don't even have
• 43:27
  a car. I don't.
• 43:29
  So I'm going to be looking like Steve.
• 43:32
  Steve Harvey. Hate that ride home.
• 43:36
  I would hate it. I don't know for sure.
• 43:40
  Ditch the outfit. I don't know for sure if that's
• 43:43
  happening, but if it is, I'm going to look like Steve Harvey
• 43:45
  from back in the day. Terrible.
• 43:48
  Man on the ride in and ride home.
• 43:51
  But I'll figure it out. We're going to, I'm going to.
• 43:52
  I'm going to figure out a way to get some content.
• 43:55
  Got to get some content out for a game, for a game seven of the
• 43:59
  World Series. I got to make it happen.
• 44:01
  Is there any, any, anything in the world?
• 44:07
  And when I mean anything, I mean anything in the world that would
• 44:12
  get you to shave down to a mustache for this party.
• 44:17
  No, nothing. Not for this part.
• 44:20
  What? No, not this party for the.
• 44:23
  Bit for the costume? No, nothing.
• 44:30
  It's got to be a dollar round. Everyone's for sale.
• 44:35
  I mean, I, I briefly considered it when the, the, the Peyton
• 44:42
  Tolemania took over and everybody, all Red Sox, all the
• 44:46
  Red Sox Nation was like, yeah, all, all shaped down to my
• 44:49
  stash. I think you can pull it off if
• 44:51
  you left this stubble with the stash look, kind of like the
• 44:54
  David Schneider one. Yeah.
• 44:57
  Like not just straight bald. Big cheeks.
• 45:03
  It's been to be stubble. It's been years since I've been
• 45:07
  since I've used a razor on the on the old old.
• 45:12
  Face. Just consider it.
• 45:15
  There's nothing in the world though.
• 45:19
  No, not, I'm saying specifically for this party.
• 45:22
  It would have to be something else right back.
• 45:24
  Maybe I'll consider it, but I'm not doing it for this.
• 45:26
  I said it on the stream, by the way.
• 45:27
  I don't know if I said it on the stream.
• 45:29
  I don't know if I said it at the beginning of the episode, if
• 45:33
  your reception, if your wedding reception is no disrespect, but
• 45:36
  if your wedding reception is themed, as in like costume
• 45:42
  themed, you don't care that much about who intend who attends.
• 45:50
  Or how long they stay, especially if they're a baseball
• 45:53
  fan and it's game seven of the World Series, am I right?
• 45:56
  Am I right? Any who's good stuff let's No,
• 46:02
  I'm with you. I agree wholeheartedly.
• 46:05
  Let's. Don't know him, but taking
• 46:09
  shots, Yeah, ridiculous. You're taking photos with these
• 46:17
  people. This is the happiest day of your
• 46:19
  life, and it's what are we who? I'm not, I'm not.
• 46:25
  Hey, I'm not my, not my choice. Not my call, but anyway, we'll
• 46:30
  I'll figure out a way. We'll we'll do we'll do
• 46:32
  something we'll we'll make it happen.
• 46:35
  But any who's think that's about it for tonight to wrap this
• 46:38
  thing up. First pod in the new office for
• 46:41
  Nate in the books. More to come on that that's
• 46:49
  that's really all I got. We'll see you enjoy Game 6 and
• 46:54
  Game 7 because this thing's going the distance unless the JC
• 46:59
  otherwise. We'll see you later.
• 47:00
  Don't go chase curveballs. We'll have You On is always
• 47:03
