  [SPEAKER_00]: We just kind of started talking baseball and I forgot to do it in an introduction.
• 0:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: So welcome everybody to the Central Indiana Sports Report for today's MLB postseason report with myself, your host, Greg Menjell and my co-host Uncle Paul Tipped in breaking down the division series, particularly the American League today, but all four series and we will be back probably on Wednesday night to talk about it again.
• 0:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's not, or do we Thursday?
• 0:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: My number one question is, did you think it was going to stay fair?
• 0:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: No, you didn't.
• 0:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: I thought it was staying fair, and then I thought the last second.
• 0:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I think it's going last, and then I hit it.
• 0:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: And what a moment.
• 0:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: What a day to be a Yankees fan.
• 0:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: And it might be the, you know, it might just be by in time.
• 0:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know, but that it...
• 1:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it was.
• 1:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: Guess who's going to be at the game tomorrow?
• 1:05
  [SPEAKER_02]: Who's going to be at the game tomorrow?
• 1:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: Ben and his family.
• 1:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: They went to New York and he got so excited after the Camichletler game.
• 1:15
  [SPEAKER_02]: He talked to me and it was like he was debating game three or game four.
• 1:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: but he wanted to see how to see Cam Schlittler after that performance.
• 1:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: So he gambled and then he, I was like, after the first, after he left after the first game.
• 1:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: So I was like, well, that was good to Blue J's one.
• 1:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: So then we could get Cam Schlittler to win the game to advance them to the, ha ha ha.
• 1:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: And then it was like, oh, we're not even gonna get to the Cam Schlittler game.
• 1:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: So I had to talk to him just now and he there,
• 1:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: The worst game Ben's ever seen in his life was the world series game and it was game six of the 2001 Where the Diamondbacks beat the Yankees 15 to two
• 2:05
  [SPEAKER_02]: Hmm, I lived here then and so it was it was okay with me that it was the dime bags That was some consolation to me, but not to him.
• 2:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: We wanted we we wound up leaving in the seventh inning It was it was quite disappointing.
• 2:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: So I hope I'll be get some excitement tomorrow
• 2:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: Last I knew you were in the corner with the cover pulled over your head and sobbing.
• 2:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: And it's correct.
• 2:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: And all of the sudden.
• 2:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: Of all things my wife got an alert on her phone.
• 2:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: You had to get what's there.
• 2:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: Well, um, I was kind of in the other room of the house.
• 2:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: I was, I didn't have the covers pulled up, but I was like, I, I said, you're, at least they beat the red socks.
• 2:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: So that's okay.
• 3:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: And as we were talking the last night, sometimes it's better to lose early than to go, uh, lose to the Dodgers in the World series, you know, so.
• 3:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: You're telling yourself everything was okay.
• 3:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's all right.
• 3:15
  [SPEAKER_02]: Next year.
• 3:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: And, but I was resigned to it.
• 3:18
  [SPEAKER_02]: It was like, oh my gosh, the blue jays with all those runs.
• 3:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, that wasn't getting into that later.
• 3:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: But that was so shocking for them to come back.
• 3:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: And the Yankee bullpin.
• 3:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, little third.
• 3:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: It just seemed awful.
• 3:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: It just seemed like no change.
• 3:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: All right.
• 3:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: There was no chance, yeah.
• 3:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: It was going to be another 12, 11 and nothing, 11 to two kind of a thing.
• 3:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's where my mind was.
• 3:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's right.
• 3:44
  [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, man.
• 3:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: It certainly was not in nine, six Yankees win until stunned.
• 3:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: And Aaron judge became the superstar of the Yankees needed.
• 3:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: I loved how he, he, the boy stood there, hit the ball and just flipped the bat.
• 4:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: He didn't go, you know, he, he handled things pretty well.
• 4:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think, then overreact.
• 4:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: but he was jokes you could see.
• 4:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I know Stan's not batting very well but man, when he hits that ball, he hits that ball hard to explain.
• 4:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: No, this is what I guess that's why they have him around, but anybody watches with me, it was like, okay, watch.
• 4:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: If he gets to strike two, it's over.
• 4:31
  [SPEAKER_02]: You know, he's, he could look so bad, but yes, when he hits that ball, it goes.
• 4:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: Chisholm came up big tonight.
• 4:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: There was a big one on the other thing.
• 4:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: He was like, wow, what where is that usually hits a home run if it's the Yankees or a head by four or five runs.
• 4:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: But in a tie game, wow, I can't believe it, but yeah, couldn't believe it either.
• 4:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: I really thought through three and a half this thing was over.
• 5:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: And yeah.
• 5:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: And now we're looking at seven o'clock game on Wednesday.
• 5:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: The season is on cam shit.
• 5:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Let's keep saying shit.
• 5:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, shit.
• 5:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: Literally on cam, just a lit.
• 5:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: Let's shoulder.
• 5:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: And we're going to have four games tomorrow.
• 5:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: We are going to have four games tomorrow.
• 5:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think they're going to be three games tomorrow and you know, the blue days are going to be advanced.
• 5:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: So.
• 5:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I do think that the fillies are going to do the same thing that the Yankees did.
• 5:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: Do we either gonna win game three?
• 5:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I believe that the Mariners are in really good shape.
• 5:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now, love that pitching staff, Paul.
• 5:44
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's something, isn't it?
• 5:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: Are we on?
• 5:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 5:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I'm sorry, we're talking.
• 5:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 5:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I wasn't sure if anybody was going to score enough runs, but yes, the Mariners pitching staff has been really,
• 6:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: even if it is the Tigers who tried to scratch out some runs.
• 6:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that almost looked like a home team kind of thing, not from the crowd point of view, but they seem pretty confident and executed very well there today.
• 6:19
  [SPEAKER_02]: So.
• 6:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I don't know if I've ever seen been watching a game and Randy arose and ran it came to the plate and he did not get an extra base hit.
• 6:31
  [SPEAKER_02]: He certainly had that streak with Tampa Bay there for, yes.
• 6:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: Wow, tonight he was really good.
• 6:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 6:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 6:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: It was, um, and I was good to see your old friend, A. U. H. N. U. S. Or as finally run into one.
• 6:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: He did and he does that from time to time.
• 6:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: He had been struggling, but yes.
• 7:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's like Rosa Reina, you always see him ripping an extra base hit, but as far as when you need one never seem to with the reds.
• 7:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: Never.
• 7:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 7:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: Never.
• 7:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: I spent the early part of that.
• 7:19
  [SPEAKER_02]: uh... blue jays game tonight thinking well that's uh... that's a pretty good match up between the mariners and the uh... blue jays and it is there'll probably be a lot of run scored and it'll be uh... very interesting mariners pitching against blue jays batting will be uh... would be fun to watch it would be uh... something wouldn't but let's hope it never happens
• 7:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: The Yankees bring in their bullpen, which has been their weeks, but which makes all the Yankees fans nervous, and they're the ones who, you know, shut it down.
• 7:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's crazy.
• 7:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: There were a couple hard hit balls there, late in the game that can't work.
• 7:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: When they came off the bat, I'll say that.
• 8:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
• 8:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: But they put up a bunch of zeros, so.
• 8:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think Yankees fans were, even when they got ahead, we're waiting for a, a, a, a tie game.
• 8:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: For sure.
• 8:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: For sure.
• 8:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I believe that the Phillies can come back and win through straight out, believe it.
• 8:19
  [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, no, that's pretty tough, uh, help Dr. Gwang.
• 8:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: You, I don't think they're going to win, but you think they're going to win a game three in Dodson.
• 8:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: I do believe they're going to win going three going away.
• 8:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think they're going to make things interesting.
• 8:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not saying they're going to, I'm not an idiot.
• 8:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not predicting they're going to win the series.
• 8:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm just saying I like their chances considering the situation of their
• 8:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: pitching staff, I think, is better than the Dodgers pitching.
• 8:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: Just feelings are so frustrating.
• 8:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: Sometimes you just think, oh, they're going to score X number of runs.
• 8:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: And, you know, the odds are that Harper and Schwarzer Schwerber and Turner are going to get their hits.
• 9:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: They almost, they almost pulled that game out against the Dodgers.
• 9:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: They did.
• 9:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: But without any of their guys hitting,
• 9:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: I would certainly be good for baseball and for everybody if the Phillies could win a game and make things more interesting.
• 9:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: With the Dodgers winning two games against the Reds and then the first two games against the Phillies, they're becoming the betting favorite and they're pretty confident themselves.
• 9:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: I also feel pretty good about the Yankees situation, considering this situation and the whole they're in, I kind of like their chances.
• 9:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: I do not feel that way about the cubs.
• 9:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think so either.
• 9:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: No.
• 9:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, the brewers are trying to make believers out of you.
• 10:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: No.
• 10:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: I still think they're going to lose to the fillies or the Dodgers.
• 10:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm less confident that they're going to pull up brewers
• 10:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: Um, those, it was really just two, three round homers and that last game of the Brewers, but they're pitching though.
• 10:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, it's great.
• 10:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: And when they hit, they seem to get them in little clusters.
• 10:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: They don't strike out.
• 10:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: And you never know who it's going to come from.
• 10:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's the other thing.
• 10:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: That is correct.
• 10:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, um, they don't have a fearsome person that you're always afraid to throw to, but many different guys will come up with a hit.
• 10:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: So,
• 10:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it goes to the Cubs where it seems like nobody wants to come up with a hit, Kyle Tucker's not right seems to me And either is Pete grow on strong.
• 10:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: No, although he hit rock bottom then seem to come up a little bit, but yeah, I know Cubs fans are not super confident when he comes up
• 11:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: If he were to come up in the tomorrow with runners, you know, even with, say, the base is loaded and two outs, I don't think they would be feeling overconfident about his ability to come through.
• 11:15
  [SPEAKER_02]: To wear the shot of Craig Council in the Cubs dugout while he's in Milwaukee, and I'm sure some of those fans are loving them.
• 11:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: It is weird.
• 11:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's the salmon.
• 11:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: It makes it right.
• 11:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
• 11:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
• 11:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: My taxes blow it up because everybody was sending me condolences earlier in the evening.
• 11:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 11:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's just such.
• 11:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: It looks like it's a lopsided game, but it's just so close.
• 11:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: Like think that.
• 11:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: Think of that judge home run.
• 11:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: If you don't hit that three-run home run, I don't think he's pulling that out at all.
• 11:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: They look in, but you're right.
• 11:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: The balls off the plate, it's a ball.
• 11:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's just amazing, you put it in the air like that and just you think, how can that ball go fair?
• 12:05
  [SPEAKER_02]: 50,000 people holding their breath and then it bounces off the John Smoltz, kept talking about a signature moment.
• 12:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: You know, you had to add a signature moment.
• 12:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: That certainly was tonight.
• 12:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: If they lose tomorrow, it's less of one.
• 12:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's exactly right.
• 12:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I was just about to say the same thing.
• 12:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: If Schlittler can be great and they can score enough friends and send that game back to Toronto, what a great game that would be for baseball.
• 12:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: A whole game five with all that tension and the blue chase fans more excited and nervous.
• 12:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: That would be just good for baseball
• 12:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'd like to see three game-fives, and I'd like to see the Mariners finish it.
• 12:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: But the cops aren't going to do that.
• 13:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: Four games tomorrow, Paul, let's do it again.
• 13:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: Buckle up everybody, enjoy the ride.
• 13:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: Can we have fun day?
• 13:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: You bet.
• 13:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: See you tomorrow.
• 13:13
