1:58
Speaker 2: here in a matter of mores.
2:00
Speaker 1: But I know that people really don't want to think
2:03
Speaker 1: about baseball. I realized that. I get that.
2:07
Speaker 2: I was kind of right there with you heading into
2:09
Speaker 2: the weekend, getting so close to the World Series and
2:13
Speaker 2: just missing it.
2:14
Speaker 1: And so you know, it does.
2:16
Speaker 2: Feel like we should be still be playing baseball, just
2:19
Speaker 2: really does.
2:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, it'd be great, it'd be awesome to right now
2:22
Speaker 1: be hosting World Series games.
2:24
Speaker 5: To care about it, Yeah that's right.
2:26
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, to care about it.
2:29
Speaker 2: But I'll tell you the baseball seam head in me
2:32
Speaker 2: took over. I certainly did pay attention on Friday, and
2:36
Speaker 2: I did pay attention on Saturday, and last night I
2:40
Speaker 2: was ready front and center to watch me some World Series,
2:43
Speaker 2: And oh, my goodness, am I glad that I did,
2:46
Speaker 2: because we probably witnessed one of the greatest baseball games
2:50
Speaker 2: in the history of the sport last night, unbelievable eighteen innings.
2:57
Speaker 2: Stayed up past midnight to watch all eighteen innings before
3:00
Speaker 2: Freddie Freeman walked it off in the bottom of the
3:04
Speaker 2: eighteenth with a solo home run. History being made practically
3:08
Speaker 2: every pitch every inning last night. It was one of
3:12
Speaker 2: the greatest games you will ever see. And even though
3:15
Speaker 2: we hate both the participants right now, certainly it was
3:19
Speaker 2: worth checking out and leading the show with here today.
3:21
Speaker 4: Well, good for you for staying up the whole way.
3:23
Speaker 4: I quit after seventeen innings.
3:25
Speaker 1: I did you and Mary Hart's husband apparently, who's Mary Hart?
3:30
Speaker 2: She's the woman she's from entertainment tonight. She sits there
3:34
Speaker 2: and the Dodgers. She sat there for twenty five years.
3:36
Speaker 2: She sits in the front row of every Dodgers game,
3:38
Speaker 2: her and her rich husband. No, she didn't. She You
3:42
Speaker 2: could tell they were fighting. She was sitting there like
3:45
Speaker 2: with her arms crossed because he was standing up. I
3:48
Speaker 2: think he had to pooh. He is about one hundred
3:51
Speaker 2: and so he's like, that's not you could tell that.
3:53
Speaker 2: He was like, Mary, I'm starting till the end of
3:55
Speaker 2: the fending and we don't start one. And so he
3:59
Speaker 2: was like standing with one foot up the aisle while
4:02
Speaker 2: she was in his seat. She moved one seat closer
4:05
Speaker 2: just to prove how like she was practically grabbing the
4:08
Speaker 2: guy next to her legs so that she didn't have
4:10
Speaker 2: to go. So he for there she is right there,
4:12
Speaker 2: right there in the highlight. She they just showed the
4:16
Speaker 2: Will Smith home run or fly ball to the wall
4:19
Speaker 2: and she actually stood up to grab her person.
4:22
Speaker 1: Leave. Oh I just saw.
4:24
Speaker 2: That for the first time anyway, So yeah, they laughed.
4:28
Speaker 2: After the seventeenth you and the Hearts did the exact
4:30
Speaker 2: same time.
4:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it was I didn't want to.
4:33
Speaker 4: Normally I would not, but I was tired, and I'm like,
4:35
Speaker 4: you know what I can I can watch the rest
4:37
Speaker 4: of this tomorrow when I get up. And yet, what
4:39
Speaker 4: I mean, the the game itself had just about everything.
4:43
Speaker 4: I mean, some poor plays, like there were some misplays
4:46
Speaker 4: and then teams take advantage of that early in the game.
4:49
Speaker 4: And the first nine inning game, that is, the second
4:52
Speaker 4: nine inning game, there wasn't as much going on, but
4:54
Speaker 4: obviously the strategy comes into play where it's you score
4:57
Speaker 4: one and you win, you know, presumably you kind of
5:01
Speaker 4: feel like you will. Anyways, it was yesterday. My one
5:04
Speaker 4: last thing was I'm torn or I didn't like where
5:07
Speaker 4: where I was at because I was basically rooting for
5:10
Speaker 4: both teams to not do well.
5:12
Speaker 1: Well. There was a bunch of that.
5:14
Speaker 4: It was actually one of the more enjoyable games, not
5:16
Speaker 4: just the the actual game itself, watching it as a
5:19
Speaker 4: if you're just a baseball fan, all of the perfect
5:22
Speaker 4: relay throws and the the off script plays that somebody
5:27
Speaker 4: would come up with something big, but even more so
5:29
Speaker 4: like I'm up there torn because I'm like, I don't
5:32
Speaker 4: want you to come through right here, and then sure
5:35
Speaker 4: enough they wouldn't come through it and come through, and
5:36
Speaker 4: then the other teams up and they have the opportunity.
5:38
Speaker 4: I'm like, well, I don't want you to come through
5:40
Speaker 4: here either, and they wouldn't. And so it was actually
5:43
Speaker 4: on a totally different front. It was it was good baseball,
5:47
Speaker 4: and then it was it was high intensity. I mean,
5:50
Speaker 4: the the you could you could cut the tension with
5:52
Speaker 4: a knife. And then the fact that I really wanted
5:55
Speaker 4: both teams to fail. They kind of both came through
5:58
Speaker 4: there a whole bunch of times.
6:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was two completely different games, literally, I mean
6:03
Speaker 2: two nine inning games last night. And the first one
6:06
Speaker 2: couldn't have been filled with more action. I mean between
6:09
Speaker 2: mistakes that were prominent and then phenomenal plays and then
6:13
Speaker 2: phenomenal individual play. I mean, was just one thing after another,
6:19
Speaker 2: was back and forth. There were plenty of runs, but
6:22
Speaker 2: not too many runs. It was you know, Pete Rose
6:25
Speaker 2: used to tell me when I worked with him about
6:27
Speaker 2: the nineteen seventy five game which the Red Sox faced
6:31
Speaker 2: the Cincinnati Reds and it's considered the greatest game that
6:35
Speaker 2: was ever played. And at one point Pete Rose apparently
6:39
Speaker 2: some Red Sox or he slid into third base or
6:42
Speaker 2: some Red Sox led into third base where he was
6:43
Speaker 2: playing defense, and he said to them, can you believe
6:46
Speaker 2: we're playing in the greatest game that's ever been played?
6:49
Speaker 1: Like he knew it in the moment that it was.
6:51
Speaker 1: And it was very similar.
6:54
Speaker 2: The only difference is that Carlton Fisk had a walk
6:57
Speaker 2: off home run.
6:57
Speaker 1: In the twelfth, so it didn't make people way.
7:00
Speaker 2: Another six innings, but that nine innings was very similar,
7:04
Speaker 2: like back and forth, defense, offense, boneheaded plays. All of
7:08
Speaker 2: it was being involved. And then in the second nine
7:11
Speaker 2: innings there was no activity at all. Yeah, it was
7:15
Speaker 2: nine innings of shutout baseball until Freddie Freeman hit the
7:18
Speaker 2: home run. And it was pitchers deep, deep, because they
7:23
Speaker 2: used almost everybody last night, performing in roles that they've
7:26
Speaker 2: never performed in, and yet kept wiggling out of trouble.
7:30
Speaker 2: I mean Will Klein, for example, was the last pitcher
7:33
Speaker 2: the Dodgers used last night. He had never gone over
7:36
Speaker 2: two innings as a professional baseball player, and they asked
7:40
Speaker 2: him to pitch four innings last night, seventy pitches, and
7:44
Speaker 2: his last one was maybe his best pitch that he
7:48
Speaker 2: threw all night, a breaking ball that he struck out
7:51
Speaker 2: a bat or to close out the top of the
7:53
Speaker 2: eighteenth I mean stuff like that. I mean it was
7:55
Speaker 2: very clear, and John Smoltz was sort of hinting at it.
7:58
Speaker 2: I was actually thinking about you. It was very clear
8:01
Speaker 2: that the hitters, once they reached a point, they were
8:06
Speaker 2: all trying to hit a home run to end it.
8:07
Speaker 1: The at bats got the at bats couldn't.
8:10
Speaker 2: Have been sharper in the first nine innings like they
8:13
Speaker 2: were just they were giving Tyler Glass now everything he
8:17
Speaker 2: could handle on the Toronto side. And then in the
8:19
Speaker 2: second nine innings, the bats just kept getting lazier. They
8:23
Speaker 2: just kept trying to hit a home run so that
8:25
Speaker 2: they could stop playing baseball last night. And it just
8:28
Speaker 2: resulted in nothing but a slew of pop ups for
8:31
Speaker 2: about nine straight innings, and nobody could put together a run.
8:34
Speaker 1: Crazy stuff. Yeah, they couldn't.
8:37
Speaker 4: And then when you would get the one opportunity, which
8:40
Speaker 4: they were rare, because the guys, like you said, were
8:42
Speaker 4: coming out of the bullpen and absolutely shoving. Even the
8:45
Speaker 4: guys who hadn't pitched in months were coming out there,
8:47
Speaker 4: and I mean unbelievably sharp, and I mean the Kershaw
8:51
Speaker 4: coming in bases loaded, a guy that you know is
8:54
Speaker 4: going to be first ballot Hall of Fame or arguably
8:56
Speaker 4: one of the best left handed pitchers of all time,
8:58
Speaker 4: and he struggled mighty in the playoffs. Everybody knows that
9:01
Speaker 4: even this year he's got a fifteen ERA in the playoffs.
9:04
Speaker 4: And yet you're like, well, this is might as well
9:06
Speaker 4: add this to the you know, the pump and circumstance
9:09
Speaker 4: surrounding this game that we've watched up to this point.
9:12
Speaker 4: He comes in, gets it done. But then the next
9:14
Speaker 4: guy that comes into herd Nandez kid. They're saying he
9:17
Speaker 4: hasn't gotten it out in two months. And he looked
9:19
Speaker 4: like he was a picture of the night.
9:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he looked unbelievable.
9:23
Speaker 4: It was pretty impressive the way in which they kind
9:26
Speaker 4: of fought and battled and clawed, and yet yeah, you're right,
9:29
Speaker 4: there was. You could see it in the player's face.
9:32
Speaker 4: And that's the beauty of extra innings or late innings anyways,
9:35
Speaker 4: is you're like, oh, I get the opportunity to be
9:37
Speaker 4: the hero. Well, typically you won't end up being the
9:41
Speaker 4: hero when you're trying to be the hero. I mean,
9:43
Speaker 4: I can count on one hand how many times I
9:45
Speaker 4: hit a home run when I was trying to hit
9:46
Speaker 4: a home run. Most of the time you hit a
9:49
Speaker 4: home run by just having a good ab and and
9:51
Speaker 4: putting a good swing on it. And sure enough, if
9:53
Speaker 4: it isn't the one guy that probably didn't ever change
9:56
Speaker 4: his mindset, Probably if Freddie Freeman struggling to degree, but
10:00
Speaker 4: he's the guy.
10:01
Speaker 1: Like, I'm just gonna stay up in the middle do
10:03
Speaker 1: what I do. If I buggy whip one.
10:05
Speaker 4: Fine, and sure enough he's the guy that ends up
10:07
Speaker 4: kind of staying on task, if you will, and it's
10:09
Speaker 4: ends up getting the walk off home.
10:11
Speaker 2: It was interesting his progression of it bats, especially once
10:14
Speaker 2: he had four at bats in the extra innings and
10:17
Speaker 2: he had opportunities to win it earlier. And he said
10:20
Speaker 2: in his postgame interview, I just kept getting closer with
10:23
Speaker 2: every swing. I could feel my swing was getting closer.
10:26
Speaker 2: And he went from pop up to fly ball to
10:30
Speaker 2: the track, to line drive one hundred and four mile
10:35
Speaker 2: per hour off the bat, line drive to center field
10:38
Speaker 2: that varshow made a great play on and then in
10:40
Speaker 2: the last bat he hit it over the wall.
10:43
Speaker 1: It was like, just stayed you're right, stayed on task.
10:47
Speaker 2: It was just sort of a clinic in how to Okay,
10:50
Speaker 2: I'm not going to change my approach here, and if
10:55
Speaker 2: this thing goes long enough, it's gonna pay off.
10:57
Speaker 1: And it did eighteen freaking innings.
11:00
Speaker 5: It made me so happy. I didn't watch it.
11:02
Speaker 6: I was I looked at the score. I was like, oh,
11:05
Speaker 6: I think at one point it oh, at one point, yeah,
11:08
Speaker 6: the Dodgers were up. Then then I saw that the
11:09
Speaker 6: Blue Jays took the lead. Then the Dodgers tied it,
11:11
Speaker 6: and then I told five iron, oh they're going to
11:14
Speaker 6: extra innings.
11:15
Speaker 5: And then I was like, all right, well, good night.
11:18
Speaker 1: You missed it. You missed it. It was unreal.
11:21
Speaker 6: I really I didn't, because then I would have stayed
11:22
Speaker 6: up till midnight and I would have been so mad.
11:24
Speaker 2: Now at that point, you're like, I'm like, am I
11:26
Speaker 2: really going to stop watching at eleven thirty? I'm not
11:28
Speaker 2: going to get a good night's sleepy, So I just
11:31
Speaker 2: you know, you might as well watch.
11:33
Speaker 1: Jason Bateman stayed all eighteen innings.
11:35
Speaker 5: He's a diehard Dodger.
11:36
Speaker 2: Even the celebrities were staying all eighteen innings, which was
11:40
Speaker 2: I thought pretty cool to see. Uh. But you mentioned
11:44
Speaker 2: that Kershaw moment, because that really was a standout moment
11:48
Speaker 2: for me, because here you have one of the greatest
11:49
Speaker 2: pictures of all time, who has struggled his entire career.
11:52
Speaker 2: In the postseason, they put him on the roster. He
11:55
Speaker 2: was only supposed to work like mop up duty, and
11:57
Speaker 2: they put him in in the most high leveraged situation
12:00
Speaker 2: of the entire game. Kershaw's got to be thinking one like, Okay,
12:05
Speaker 2: this is the last juice I'm going to feel as
12:07
Speaker 2: a baseball player, but did it have to be this
12:09
Speaker 2: much juice?
12:11
Speaker 1: Right?
12:11
Speaker 2: And he came in with the bases loaded, facing Nathan Lucas,
12:15
Speaker 2: who's not a great hitter, but he was pesky against
12:17
Speaker 2: us for sure, and he threw he loaded up full count,
12:23
Speaker 2: several foul balls that were hit off off of them,
12:28
Speaker 2: and then when he had him three to two, he
12:31
Speaker 2: threw three straight pitches out of the zone and Lucas
12:35
Speaker 2: swung at all of them until he dribbled one into play,
12:38
Speaker 2: which he almost beat out. But Kershaw could have very
12:42
Speaker 2: if Lucas just lays off of one of those pitches
12:45
Speaker 2: that were outside of the zone, Kershaw's the goat again
12:49
Speaker 2: and they take the lead at that point, and then
12:51
Speaker 2: he would also have to face Vladimir Guerrero on the
12:54
Speaker 2: next batter. So that was incredibly intense. I mean, just
12:57
Speaker 2: the whole game crazy. I mean, eighteen innings, that's enough.
13:02
Speaker 1: And we don't mean talking about show hey yet, Oh jeez.
13:05
Speaker 2: Nine at bats, got on base all nine times, was
13:08
Speaker 2: intentionally walked four times, really intentionally walked five times. And
13:12
Speaker 2: the reason because his first four at bats he had
13:15
Speaker 2: four extra base hits two home runs and two doubles,
13:19
Speaker 2: and John Schneider's like, that's it, and he's and Schneider
13:21
Speaker 2: said afterwards, I'm not pitching to him the rest of
13:23
Speaker 2: the series.
13:24
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wouldn't. I wouldn't either, And today he's going
13:27
Speaker 4: to go out there and get the pitch too. So
13:28
Speaker 4: it's I mean, it's that dude is Kate and I
13:32
Speaker 4: probably had a half an hour conversation, probably lasted like
13:34
Speaker 4: five innings of the extra innings, just about him and
13:37
Speaker 4: how how much above the rest of baseball he is
13:42
Speaker 4: and just seems to be. I mean, we remember Bonds
13:44
Speaker 4: in his heyday when he was all juiced up, and
13:48
Speaker 4: how that was seemed unfair and teams recognized it. They
13:52
Speaker 4: weren't going to go after him unless they absolutely had to,
13:54
Speaker 4: and he would then make you pay when you did.
13:57
Speaker 1: I mean, show hey a little bit. In the last series.
13:59
Speaker 4: I know, was scuffling after that first home run and
14:02
Speaker 4: then was like oho for twenty or something like that.
14:05
Speaker 4: It was in a real big slump and he was
14:07
Speaker 4: kind of chasing. When he doesn't chase. I don't know
14:10
Speaker 4: how you get the dude out. You just hope he
14:12
Speaker 4: hits it. At somebody and if there's somebody that's, you know,
14:15
Speaker 4: five hundred feet away from home that when they catch it,
14:18
Speaker 4: it doesn't count. So it was unbelievable. The whole thing
14:22
Speaker 4: was the the amount of action there was early in
14:25
Speaker 4: that game was something I just haven't seen and it
14:29
Speaker 4: was it was fundamental stuff.
14:31
Speaker 1: The relay plays to home.
14:33
Speaker 4: But then even the stuff like that, that throw that
14:35
Speaker 4: Vlad through like that was great. There was no reason
14:38
Speaker 4: really to make that throw to first. That's one where
14:40
Speaker 4: you kind of tell a young short stop, don't throw it.
14:43
Speaker 4: You're not gonna get him right, but he does. Vlad
14:45
Speaker 4: comes off the base and then throws a seed while
14:47
Speaker 4: he slips right on the money, picks throws him out.
14:50
Speaker 4: It was that that walk. The thing that happened early
14:53
Speaker 4: with Toronto where the they Bashett thought that it was
14:57
Speaker 4: ballfour and it was ballfour and it's kind of a
15:00
Speaker 4: little bit of a late call on the strike and
15:02
Speaker 4: that he's out in no man's land with his head
15:04
Speaker 4: up his butt to some degree, who knows, I mean,
15:07
Speaker 4: that was no outs. You ended up letting them off
15:08
Speaker 4: the hook there. There was multiple times where they they
15:11
Speaker 4: let the team off the hook. Other times where they
15:13
Speaker 4: just pitched themselves off the hook. There was, you know,
15:17
Speaker 4: a hit like I said, or multiple hits where then
15:19
Speaker 4: the relay throw was was perfectly executed and gunned somebody
15:23
Speaker 4: down at the late it was. It was action packed
15:26
Speaker 4: for sure, and if you're just a baseball fan, regardless
15:29
Speaker 4: of whether or not you're scoring from the Mariners, it
15:31
Speaker 4: was it was super enjoyable to watch. I just eventually
15:34
Speaker 4: ran out of steam.
15:36
Speaker 1: You mentioned the Guerrero play. I mean, it wasn't.
15:38
Speaker 2: The throw is terrific, and he's a better defensive player
15:41
Speaker 2: than he gets credit for. I mean, he's won a
15:42
Speaker 2: Gold Club, but people usually just recognize him as a
15:45
Speaker 2: you know, chubby hitter. But his decision to come off
15:50
Speaker 2: the bag and go get the ball was the key
15:52
Speaker 2: to that. His decisions say, there we have no shot
15:55
Speaker 2: at this guy. So I'm going to meet this throw
15:58
Speaker 2: that has no shot at get getting the runner. I'm
16:01
Speaker 2: gonna meet it as close as I can to third base,
16:04
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna throw it to get the base runner.
16:07
Speaker 2: I mean, stuff like that was happening all night show.
16:09
Speaker 2: Hay's home run the last time that Schneider chose to
16:13
Speaker 2: pitch to him, which was the seventh inning of an
16:15
Speaker 2: eighteen inning game. That's the last time, and he, of
16:18
Speaker 2: course hits it out of the ballpark immediately after a
16:23
Speaker 2: mound visit where they specifically told Sir Anthony Demingez, don't
16:28
Speaker 2: throw him anything he can hit first pitch hammers it, oh,
16:33
Speaker 2: the left center field wall. I mean, it was just
16:36
Speaker 2: one thing after another until there was nothing after another.
16:40
Speaker 2: Right for nine innings there was nothing that and even
16:44
Speaker 2: that was compelling though, because the drought then became the story.
16:49
Speaker 2: The lack of activity became the story. Is anybody going
16:53
Speaker 2: to do anything to win this ballgame became the story.
16:57
Speaker 2: It was two different games smashed together last night on
17:02
Speaker 2: the world's biggest stage. And yes, you started the game saying,
17:06
Speaker 2: I hate that we're not playing here. This would be
17:09
Speaker 2: a home game for us, to be the first World
17:11
Speaker 2: Series game we ever had to host. But just as
17:14
Speaker 2: a baseball fan, as a sports fan man, to have
17:19
Speaker 2: witnessed one of the greatest games ever played, it was unreal,
17:23
Speaker 2: just unreal.
17:23
Speaker 4: Well, the beauty of not I'm baseball, which they've always
17:25
Speaker 4: said it doesn't have a clock. I mean we do
17:27
Speaker 4: have a clock now, and then we have things to
17:29
Speaker 4: speed up the game during the regular season with ghost
17:32
Speaker 4: runners starting a second base. In the postseason, they go
17:35
Speaker 4: back to the regular thing, the regular rules, and it's just, hey,
17:38
Speaker 4: we're going to play this until we find a winner,
17:40
Speaker 4: and you've got to earn it. And so it was
17:43
Speaker 4: typically I think a lot of people will look at
17:45
Speaker 4: baseball it's like, if it's a really good game quote
17:48
Speaker 4: unquote good, they're like, well, then the pitchers just really
17:51
Speaker 4: executed and it came down to just one mistake and
17:54
Speaker 4: one capitalized swing. And yet yesterday kind of was like
17:59
Speaker 4: a whole bunch of it was the mix and match
18:02
Speaker 4: of everything, poor defense, and then you know they would
18:06
Speaker 4: take advantage of that, and then it was great pitching.
18:10
Speaker 4: And then it was better at bats than good pitching.
18:12
Speaker 4: But then the pitching stepped up when all of a
18:14
Speaker 4: sudden the traffic was on base, it kind of had everything.
18:17
Speaker 4: We had guys stealing bags. It was unbelievable. And then, yeah,
18:20
Speaker 4: the drought part of it became a giant story too,
18:23
Speaker 4: because you could tell everybody was wanting to end that
18:25
Speaker 4: bad boy. They wanted to be the hero, and the
18:27
Speaker 4: pitchers were throwing good pitches to.
18:29
Speaker 1: Not allow that to happen.
18:30
Speaker 2: There was even a moment and it's the last thing
18:32
Speaker 2: cool we got to get to what's on tap. Alejandro
18:35
Speaker 2: Kirk had a big home run in this game, a
18:37
Speaker 2: three run shot. Looked like Tyler Glass now was just
18:40
Speaker 2: on his game and Kirk gets a three run homer
18:43
Speaker 2: off of him, And even in that moment, it was like,
18:47
Speaker 2: I think that's when I turned the page from I
18:49
Speaker 2: don't even know if I want to watch.
18:50
Speaker 1: This to like that is just that's so special. Like baseball.
18:55
Speaker 2: You've got Glass now, big tall, good looking athlete looks
19:00
Speaker 2: like seven foot tall Killian Murphy. I mean, he's like chiseled.
19:05
Speaker 2: He's the guy that you picture. He's got these big
19:07
Speaker 2: ass feet that that and this long ass stride and
19:11
Speaker 2: he throws nasty stuff constantly, and if you went to
19:14
Speaker 2: scout him, you'd be like, uh, oh, I just found
19:17
Speaker 2: the next great picture. I mean, he just steps out
19:20
Speaker 2: like that and he's facing off against some guy that
19:24
Speaker 2: wont to tryout, five foot nothing, four hundred and nothing,
19:29
Speaker 2: sitting there with his pot belly hanging over his belt,
19:33
Speaker 2: and Alejandro Kirk in that moment, can be better than
19:37
Speaker 2: seven foot Killian Murphy throwing thousand miles per hour on
19:41
Speaker 2: the mound, and it was just like, no other sport, Yeah,
19:45
Speaker 2: no other sport. And that happened where that tubagoo can
19:48
Speaker 2: best that chiseled freak in a one on one showdown.
19:53
Speaker 1: In the World Series.
19:54
Speaker 4: It's a ball and nobody had hit a like six
19:57
Speaker 4: hundred straight curveballs that he had thrown that he hadn't
19:59
Speaker 4: hit out of the park. And sure enough, all one
20:01
Speaker 4: hundred kirks sits on it and says, here you go. Yeah,
20:04
Speaker 4: now you're instead of you being up too, we're up
20:06
Speaker 4: by one. It was that back and forth.
20:07
Speaker 1: It was never never are you going to c in
20:10
Speaker 1: an NBA finals? You know? Uh No?
20:13
Speaker 2: G Sga is sitting at the top of the key
20:17
Speaker 2: with the game on the line, and then the other
20:19
Speaker 2: coach says, let's put our five foot four inch, three
20:21
Speaker 2: hundred pound can't move laterally has is the slowest person
20:25
Speaker 2: in the league, sat up. Let's put him on there
20:28
Speaker 2: and see if he can stop him when we can
20:29
Speaker 2: win the NBA title. It just it just doesn't happen.
20:32
Speaker 2: And I just think it's a beautiful thing about the
20:34
Speaker 2: game of baseball. All right, let's find out what's on tape.
20:40
Speaker 1: What's on tip? What's on tep alright.
20:42
Speaker 2: Six five and eighteen innings. Dodgers went over the Blue
20:45
Speaker 2: Jays last night. They have a two games to one
20:47
Speaker 2: lead in the of course best of seven World Series. Tonight,
20:51
Speaker 2: Game four at five o'clock, Shane Bieber will go for
20:54
Speaker 2: the Blue Jays and the Dodgers will counter with show
20:58
Speaker 2: Hey O Tany Aerner's big story going out around town
21:03
Speaker 2: about how much salary room will they actually have?
21:06
Speaker 1: Will they only have room for just.
21:08
Speaker 2: Josh Naylor if they go after him. We'll talk about
21:11
Speaker 2: that a little bit later on in the show. We
21:12
Speaker 2: got the abcs of the Ems coming your way.
21:14
Speaker 1: At eight forty five.
21:15
Speaker 2: We are one week away from the NFL trading deadline.
21:18
Speaker 2: We'll talk to Greg Bell a little bit about it
21:20
Speaker 2: at seven o'clock, but I want to discuss it amongst
21:23
Speaker 2: ourselves as well. At seven thirty here today, Greg Bell
21:27
Speaker 2: will also talk about the Seahawks, who officially come off
21:30
Speaker 2: by and get ready for the Commanders. They will next
21:33
Speaker 2: play Sunday Night football against Washington, which lost last night
21:37
Speaker 2: twenty eight to seven to the Kansas City Chiefs. The
21:40
Speaker 2: score was tied at halftime. The Chiefs twenty one unanswered
21:43
Speaker 2: points in the second half to win. On Monday Night,
21:46
Speaker 2: football Huskies are going on by but the big story
21:49
Speaker 2: in college football are the head coaching firings that have
21:52
Speaker 2: happened mid season. We'll talk to Rick Neweissel about it
21:54
Speaker 2: today at nine o'clock Crack In or back home. They'll
21:57
Speaker 2: host Montreal tonight at seven thirty.
22:00
Speaker 1: Everet Fits.
22:00
Speaker 2: You will be with us today at eight thirty. It's
22:03
Speaker 2: also a Cracking Ticket Tuesday, so be listening for that
22:05
Speaker 2: audio piece to play, and when you do hear it,
22:09
Speaker 2: be the tenth caller at two six two eight six
22:12
Speaker 2: ninety five ninety five to win a pair of tickets
22:14
Speaker 2: to see the crack and play November fifth against the
22:17
Speaker 2: San Jose Sharks. We'll do it every single hour. That's
22:20
Speaker 2: what a Cracking Ticket Tuesday is all about. And the Sounders,
22:24
Speaker 2: which we'll find some time to talk about as well,
22:26
Speaker 2: lost game number one of their playoff in a shootout
22:30
Speaker 2: to Minnesota United.
22:31
Speaker 1: The Sounders missed.
22:32
Speaker 2: Three of their five shootout kicks and end up not
22:38
Speaker 2: putting nearly enough pressure on the goalie and they lose
22:41
Speaker 2: game one. But it is the best of three, so
22:44
Speaker 2: game number two we'll be back here in Seattle coming
22:47
Speaker 2: up next, though, for the Seahawks last night, for Seahawks fans,
22:51
Speaker 2: last night, Monday Night Football was an opportunity to scout
22:54
Speaker 2: our next opponent thoroughly, and that's exactly what I did.
22:58
Speaker 1: We'll talk about it next. Sports Radio nine three.
23:00
Speaker 2: Point three KJRFM World Series, which was unbelievable last night.
23:05
Speaker 2: But also you had Sounders playing and that was kind
23:08
Speaker 2: of unbelievable in its own way. Sad and the Commanders
23:13
Speaker 2: took on Monday Night Football the Kansas City Chiefs, and
23:16
Speaker 2: it was a competitive game for a while, seven to
23:19
Speaker 2: seven at halftime, but the Chiefs kind of blew out
23:23
Speaker 2: the Commanders twenty one to nothing in the second half
23:26
Speaker 2: of a twenty eight to seven win. We speak a
23:29
Speaker 2: little more about it here today because number one, it's
23:32
Speaker 2: been a week since we've watched the Seahawks play a game.
23:35
Speaker 2: It's been a couple of weeks before I've really watched
23:37
Speaker 2: the Seahawks play a game.
23:39
Speaker 1: Last time we played a game, we were in the
23:41
Speaker 1: middle of a playoff series, which was a pretty big deal.
23:44
Speaker 5: Yeah, I remember, Yeah, that was bigger.
23:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely are trying.
23:48
Speaker 4: They're like, hey, can we get off the back Burner like, yeah,
23:51
Speaker 4: in a minute.
23:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they're not comfortable being back there, but they
23:57
Speaker 2: will next play on Sunday night. We'll have the big
24:00
Speaker 2: stage Sunday Night football against the Washington Commanders who played
24:04
Speaker 2: last night against the Kansas City Chiefs. So it gave
24:06
Speaker 2: us an opportunity to do some scouting, like to really
24:09
Speaker 2: watch the Commanders from the beginning of a game to
24:12
Speaker 2: the end of the game.
24:13
Speaker 1: And they are really beat up right now.
24:15
Speaker 2: So they've been missing a lot of players, but you know,
24:18
Speaker 2: that's the National Football League.
24:19
Speaker 1: That does happen.
24:20
Speaker 2: It's not like the Seahawks haven't had their injuries, not
24:22
Speaker 2: like the Chiefs haven't had their injuries.
24:24
Speaker 1: So they're a beat up football team.
24:26
Speaker 2: But they've also been really bad defensively so far this season.
24:31
Speaker 2: And they were playing without their starting quarterback Jayden and Daniels.
24:34
Speaker 2: Who really is the stir that the straw that stirs
24:37
Speaker 2: the drink there with the Commanders, And we saw that
24:40
Speaker 2: at the end of last season when they nearly made
24:42
Speaker 2: a run to the Super Bowl. But you could tell
24:46
Speaker 2: they were kind of doing it with Gile. I mean,
24:48
Speaker 2: they were playing hard. I'll give them that. Dan Quinn
24:51
Speaker 2: apparently gave some speech about like it is time to
24:54
Speaker 2: become the team we're going to be.
24:55
Speaker 1: They entered the game last night three and four record, So.
24:58
Speaker 2: Apparently it was a big, big, like motivational week, and
25:02
Speaker 2: you're getting ready to face the Kansas City Chiefs in
25:05
Speaker 2: Kansas City, and you got a rally around not having
25:08
Speaker 2: Jadeen Daniels there. And so they played hard and they
25:11
Speaker 2: battled the Kansas City Chiefs. But once that kind of
25:15
Speaker 2: left them in the first half, then they were exposed
25:19
Speaker 2: man for man, talent for talent, the Chiefs just sort.
25:22
Speaker 1: Of wipe the field with them in the second half.
25:24
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can't let Patrick Mahomes kind of re establish
25:30
Speaker 4: his feet, you know what I mean, Like he got
25:32
Speaker 4: he didn't. He made a couple not great throws, one
25:35
Speaker 4: in particular, I think probably that wasn't great. The other
25:38
Speaker 4: one was more of a drop pass tip thing that
25:41
Speaker 4: turned into an interception. But if you find yourself halfway
25:44
Speaker 4: through a game and you've held the Kansas City Chiefs
25:46
Speaker 4: to seven, then you would hope that you could muster
25:49
Speaker 4: you know, ten fourteen something like that to where all
25:53
Speaker 4: of a sudden you got them on their heels. You
25:55
Speaker 4: you forced them that they have to go do something.
25:57
Speaker 4: The fact that it was seven to seven at halftime,
26:00
Speaker 4: you're like, man, you've really it felt like you've played hard,
26:04
Speaker 4: and you've also missed an opportunity to possibly put them
26:08
Speaker 4: into a corner a little bit. Now, who knows what
26:10
Speaker 4: would happen even if they had a seven point lead
26:13
Speaker 4: going into halftime, because it did feel like once the
26:15
Speaker 4: the luster of the pep talk more off a little bit,
26:19
Speaker 4: then all of a sudden, it was just a better team,
26:22
Speaker 4: a better team. A better team just said Okay, we're
26:24
Speaker 4: going to go out here and show you that we
26:26
Speaker 4: deserve to win. And that third quarter was basically the difference.
26:29
Speaker 6: Well, and that's the thing too, is that with that
26:31
Speaker 6: score at halftime, than all Kansas City does is go
26:33
Speaker 6: into the locker room and say, Okay, we just played
26:35
Speaker 6: a half like crap and we're tied, so let's go
26:39
Speaker 6: out and play less like crap and we got this.
26:41
Speaker 1: Yeah.
26:42
Speaker 5: Well, way easier for them.
26:44
Speaker 2: I mean, Jade Daniels kind of makes that team go yeah,
26:48
Speaker 2: and not having him last night, I mean, I think
26:51
Speaker 2: Mario is a fine backup quarterback in the National Football League,
26:55
Speaker 2: but I think Jade and Daniels was playing like a
26:57
Speaker 2: superhero by the end of the last season, and teams,
27:01
Speaker 2: you know, just had weren't familiar with him enough to
27:04
Speaker 2: have a proper game plan. Certainly, the Lions weren't in
27:08
Speaker 2: the playoffs a year ago, so without him being on
27:10
Speaker 2: the field, I don't know if we can get a
27:12
Speaker 2: real test of Washington. I don't know if we call
27:16
Speaker 2: it a sophomore slump in the Jade and Daniels era.
27:19
Speaker 2: They certainly haven't as a team played as well as
27:22
Speaker 2: what a lot of people thought they were going to.
27:25
Speaker 2: But in terms of what the Seahawks are getting ready for,
27:29
Speaker 2: it's just a completely different team if they've got Daniels
27:33
Speaker 2: at starting quarterback or if they don't have him at
27:36
Speaker 2: starting quarterback. And I don't know if we're going to
27:39
Speaker 2: know until Sunday night. It sounds like Jade Daniels is
27:43
Speaker 2: going to be a game time decision for Sunday night.
27:46
Speaker 2: So Mike McDonald's got to prepare for everything this week.
27:49
Speaker 2: And that might be the only downside to Jade and
27:52
Speaker 2: daniels injury from the Seahawks perspective.
27:55
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I mean, the nice thing I think is
27:57
Speaker 4: you basically you have to plan like you're gonna play
28:00
Speaker 4: because you don't want to be caught slipping where you're like, man,
28:03
Speaker 4: I didn't think he was going to play. And the
28:05
Speaker 4: nice thing is is they're kind of the same. Just
28:08
Speaker 4: one's the varsity version and Mariota is the backup version.
28:11
Speaker 3: You know.
28:11
Speaker 4: I mean one is I will change the game. I
28:14
Speaker 4: can take over the game.
28:15
Speaker 1: I know this.
28:16
Speaker 4: He gets all those first team reps, and I know
28:18
Speaker 4: that Mariota has been getting them as of late since
28:21
Speaker 4: he's been on the shelf.
28:22
Speaker 1: But it just is not the same.
28:24
Speaker 4: You can just tell that that Jayden Daniels makes everybody better, right,
28:29
Speaker 4: and I think Mariota is one where if you just
28:31
Speaker 4: have a bunch of dudes that don't need you to
28:33
Speaker 4: make them better, then he can get it done and
28:36
Speaker 4: he will. He made some good passes here and there
28:38
Speaker 4: and ended up moving the ball a little bit, but
28:41
Speaker 4: they just was not enough to overcome a team like
28:44
Speaker 4: the Chiefs, and ultimately I don't think it'd be enough
28:46
Speaker 4: to overcome the Seattle's defense if Jaden Daniels isn't playing.
28:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, on the beginning of the year, you
28:52
Speaker 2: circle that game is one of the tougher games on
28:54
Speaker 2: the schedule. But now, I mean it just feels like
28:58
Speaker 2: a game that they should win. It's going to be
29:00
Speaker 2: in Washington, so you do have to go on the road,
29:02
Speaker 2: but you've had two weeks to rest.
29:04
Speaker 1: They're going to be on short rest. They may or may.
29:07
Speaker 2: Not have their starting quarterback back, and even if he
29:10
Speaker 2: does play, he might not be one hundred percent. They're
29:13
Speaker 2: banged up across the board, and so a game that
29:18
Speaker 2: maybe you put l's next to this game on your
29:22
Speaker 2: pocket schedule at the beginning of the year suddenly looks
29:25
Speaker 2: like a game that you should win. That's how it
29:27
Speaker 2: feels to me on a Tuesday before we face the
29:30
Speaker 2: Washington Comand.
29:30
Speaker 6: Yeah, definitely feels a lot more promising than it did
29:32
Speaker 6: to start that the year, because, i mean, coming off
29:35
Speaker 6: last year, their defense looked good, their offense was humming.
29:37
Speaker 5: I mean, they were legit scary team to play. And
29:42
Speaker 5: now you're like, oh, well, yeah, this is a lot
29:44
Speaker 5: more reasonable.
29:45
Speaker 2: All right, coming up next on the program, it is
29:48
Speaker 2: a big week in a lot of different ways, including
29:52
Speaker 2: for the Sounders and for Trick or Treaters. Sports Radio
29:56
Speaker 2: ninety three point three KJARFM Soccer's going to the Halloween party.
30:00
Speaker 2: It's basketball this year, just so they can pretend they
30:04
Speaker 2: can know what it's like to put the ball in
30:05
Speaker 2: the goal.
30:06
Speaker 4: Oh burn, Why that hurts some people?
30:10
Speaker 1: Jackson earmuffs.
30:12
Speaker 5: Yeah.
30:13
Speaker 2: I think they enjoy their I think they're comfortable in
30:16
Speaker 2: their own skin. But it's nice to just get to
30:18
Speaker 2: a halloween party, masquerade party, and you know, and go
30:22
Speaker 2: with something that just as crazy wild you wish you were, Yeah,
30:26
Speaker 2: something that is.
30:27
Speaker 1: Out of your You know you can't, you can't.
30:30
Speaker 2: Live that way on a daily basis, But for one night,
30:33
Speaker 2: you can pretend that's true.
30:35
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's true. And it would be nice to just
30:38
Speaker 4: be able to like imagine.
30:40
Speaker 6: Scoring because penalty kicks right like that, The advantage there
30:43
Speaker 6: is supposed to be for the person kicking the ball, right, Well,
30:46
Speaker 6: you are like.
30:48
Speaker 2: Ten feet away kicking through basically double barn doors. So
30:53
Speaker 2: may a person's three feet wide with at most seven
30:57
Speaker 2: foot wingspan. I would think that I could do it,
31:01
Speaker 2: and yet three out of five Sounders could not get
31:04
Speaker 2: the job done.
31:04
Speaker 1: Last night.
31:05
Speaker 5: It was sad, sad looking.
31:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was bad, bad. Yeah.
31:09
Speaker 5: I put the game on and five iron was like,
31:11
Speaker 5: why are you putting this on?
31:12
Speaker 3: It?
31:12
Speaker 6: So well, it's the playoffs. We got to at least
31:13
Speaker 6: have the game on TV three. And then at the end,
31:16
Speaker 6: I go, well that was disappointing.
31:19
Speaker 1: Well, I'm gonna just tell you this.
31:20
Speaker 4: So, as I was remote control jockeying around between the
31:26
Speaker 4: Series game the Washington and I watched a lot by
31:30
Speaker 4: the way of the Sounders, which is but this is
31:32
Speaker 4: the beauty of them. This is the beauty of soccer.
31:36
Speaker 4: Is I could go spend time on the World Series,
31:39
Speaker 4: and then in between every half inning, switch over see
31:42
Speaker 4: what's going on with the football game. Then I'd get
31:45
Speaker 4: stuck on that for a minute, go back to the
31:47
Speaker 4: World Series half inning or so, check back on the Sounders.
31:51
Speaker 4: Still zero zero, And I didn't see any of the
31:54
Speaker 4: flopping that happened while I was away.
31:56
Speaker 5: Yeah, quite a bit.
31:57
Speaker 2: When I went to make a sandwich, my sandwich for
32:00
Speaker 2: the evening, I missed the show.
32:01
Speaker 1: Hey home Run? Oh no, no, yeah. Yeah. So but
32:07
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, I wonder what I missed there? Zero zero.
32:11
Speaker 1: I did miss it.
32:12
Speaker 2: I did see, like there are a couple Rothrock come on, dude,
32:17
Speaker 2: like beautiful little past sequence. The easy part was kicking
32:20
Speaker 2: the ball in the goal and you overshot it.
32:23
Speaker 5: Yeah, it looked like we outplayed them, and.
32:25
Speaker 2: Then I felt to me like they weren't doing Fry
32:29
Speaker 2: a lot of favors in goal, at least for part
32:33
Speaker 2: of the game because he had too much pressure around
32:37
Speaker 2: him there for a while. But most of the game,
32:40
Speaker 2: I think this is pretty evident, was played just defensively,
32:44
Speaker 2: just a little keep away action. And Jackson warned us
32:47
Speaker 2: this is the way Minnesota plays, and kind of felt
32:49
Speaker 2: like we played that way as well.
32:51
Speaker 4: Yeah, they suck back and so we I think we
32:53
Speaker 4: probably want to have looked at the stats, the time
32:55
Speaker 4: of possession, and yet that's Minnesota's fine with that. They're
32:58
Speaker 4: fine with not have it, and then when you turn
33:01
Speaker 4: it over they make runs, and then you know we
33:04
Speaker 4: withstood it. I mean, it was a well played game.
33:07
Speaker 4: I suppose. I'm not going to act like I watched
33:09
Speaker 4: every second of it because I didn't, But I mean
33:10
Speaker 4: it was a well played game. Obviously, you get the penalties,
33:13
Speaker 4: and neither team gave anything up. We had a couple
33:15
Speaker 4: of scoring opportunities there that you kind of let pass
33:18
Speaker 4: by the wayside, and regulation and then when I mean,
33:22
Speaker 4: they're human and so it's not as easy as just
33:24
Speaker 4: putting it, you know, just kick it in the goal.
33:26
Speaker 1: Obviously.
33:27
Speaker 4: Well there's a dude there and their keeper is big
33:29
Speaker 4: and good, and so they tricked him that first one.
33:32
Speaker 4: They kicked right down the middle, and then he played
33:35
Speaker 4: a little head game and with him and so oh
33:36
Speaker 4: you got to back it up. Yeah, And then they
33:39
Speaker 4: tried going down the middle again. He blocked that one,
33:41
Speaker 4: but then the next two that are you know, off
33:43
Speaker 4: the crossbar and then off the side post.
33:45
Speaker 1: It like, you gotta put it on goal.
33:47
Speaker 4: I mean, even playing through high school like I did,
33:50
Speaker 4: that's the You have to put it on goal down
33:52
Speaker 4: low towards the corner. You don't have to nail it
33:55
Speaker 4: up in the top right hand corner, just you can
33:58
Speaker 4: pick even if the goalie picked the right way. If
34:01
Speaker 4: you put it where you can and you're capable of,
34:03
Speaker 4: he can't stop he can't stop it.
34:04
Speaker 1: So, I mean, it just was not good. That was
34:07
Speaker 1: bad penalty kicking for sure. Yeah.
34:09
Speaker 6: I don't know a lot about soccer, so I couldn't
34:12
Speaker 6: have told you if it was a good game or not.
34:13
Speaker 5: It was not a thrilling game.
34:15
Speaker 6: But watching it for me, I was like, well, it
34:17
Speaker 6: seems like we're out playing this team. I mean every
34:19
Speaker 6: time I was watching was when we were at least
34:21
Speaker 6: having the shot attempt. But then I don't know. It's
34:23
Speaker 6: always disappointing to then come down to one on one
34:27
Speaker 6: kicking and have the game decided that way.
34:29
Speaker 2: Well, it's not over. They team returns for game two.
34:33
Speaker 2: It will be a best of three in the first round.
34:35
Speaker 2: It's not always they actually reduce games as they go.
34:40
Speaker 2: The soccer has to be different than everybody else. So
34:43
Speaker 2: you know most leagues you play more games as you go. Yeah,
34:47
Speaker 2: not soccer. Not the MLS. They play fewer as you go.
34:50
Speaker 2: So this first round is three games. The next one
34:54
Speaker 2: will be in Seattle, so certainly not over. But it
34:58
Speaker 2: does count as a loss last night, and it's not hockey.
35:02
Speaker 2: You don't get a point for.
35:03
Speaker 1: It, all right.
