• 0:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: Welcome baseball fans to the Central Indian Esports Report for today's MLB wild card report with.
• 0:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: myself, your host, Greg Minkel, co-host, Paul Tipton, and I guess she's not really a guest because she's just comes in whenever she wants because she's in charge, Michelle Garmin, Sports Center, the Tipton Tribune, and Elwood Paul Leader here to talk about day three of the wild card three deciding games and we are going to make our picks for the divisional round.
• 0:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: great fun day yes it really was it's heartbreak for three different cities and three different fan bases but pretty good day for baseball the attackers are the only this the only bro team to win also the better teams were at home so yes that also played the factor although yes there certainly are
• 1:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: of getting behind they got ahead and then I thought for a while they were going to be kicking themselves that they only got those two runs in that ending when they had a chance to do more.
• 1:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: Their pitching was very surprising.
• 1:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: The number of runs the Padre scored even the people who had picked the cubs could never imagine the Padre score and that few runs seems to me.
• 1:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: All the series were low scoring.
• 1:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: Well, not really nothing Dodgers in the Reds.
• 1:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, yeah.
• 1:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: All the series ended today.
• 1:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Tigers finally broke through with some runs.
• 1:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, it was a struggle getting runs.
• 1:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: Let's talk about the Yankees Paul.
• 1:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: Look like they might be in trouble and four runs in the fourth.
• 1:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, it was.
• 1:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: Four in the fourth.
• 1:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: And that's all they got to.
• 1:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: And they really should have only gotten... They might just... You could make a case they should have only gotten one run.
• 2:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: on the bloop that wasn't caught to start off the ending and then low makes an error on the basis loaded ground ball that was that was a small margin of error even then a four to nothing game was the question coming into the season and it was the reason that they're still playing now
• 2:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was really impressed early on with the early for the Red Sox.
• 2:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: I thought that left-handed business for the Yankees might have kind of worked and a young pitcher rolls like that and then there's a guy on base and then the next thing you know he's pitching from the stretch and that changes the changes just a little bit which makes all the difference seems like the Yankees when they have by having
• 2:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: They are fully capable of scoring runs with just those big bats, a home run and you know, and any time.
• 2:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: So I think that's what makes the Yankees dangerous.
• 3:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: And for them, I think the key is going to be, can they continue to have good pitching performances as they go on?
• 3:09
  [SPEAKER_02]: Because I don't think offense is really too much of a concern because those two guys are capable of
• 3:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: change in the complexion of a game that's when.
• 3:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but there've been times during the season where it is, it has been a lineup that just has not produced and despite the good bats and Stanton has been up and down, man, did he hit that ball heart?
• 3:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: Holy cow ball.
• 3:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the only problem as he thought it was over the fence.
• 3:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't blame him.
• 3:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: No, yeah, I know.
• 3:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: He hit that ball so, and the pitch before he had a foul ball 116.4 miles a hour.
• 3:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, he just scorched that thing.
• 4:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: When he gets that ball, it goes, doesn't it?
• 4:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's an adventure on the base pass.
• 4:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: I got to tell you.
• 4:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: He could get thrown out at home if he started at second base on a double.
• 4:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, you just never know and and you've got to run out of the you've got to run back.
• 4:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, yes, I didn't realize it even looked over in the dugout like, oh, no.
• 4:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: That didn't screw that in and either and that could have really cost him, but the Yankees are moving on playing the blue jazin.
• 4:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: Are you confident that at all.
• 4:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: Of course, we will get to our picks coming up here to minute, but feeling any more confident than you would have last week.
• 4:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yes, this tonight changes everything, I just think Yankee fans are breathing a sigh of relief and are in awe of what happened on it's been 21 years since they've eliminated the red socks.
• 4:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: Whoa, I remember that day.
• 5:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, there would be Mr. Aaron, but yeah, and that was 22.
• 5:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, for a long time they have been even even an Yankees stadium, so yes, there was no home runs tonight, but that was quite the feeling for Yankees fans to put down the red socks, especially after the season when they had such a lack of success against the red socks and at Yankees stadium, too.
• 5:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: I did not expect that, and when they didn't score
• 5:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: in that inning, I thought, who knows if they're gonna score it all, they had a hard time scoring in the first game.
• 5:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: What a shame for the Red Sox, Chapman comes out there and looks otherworldly.
• 5:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: He looks so good now.
• 5:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: I know all the runs against early weren't earned, but I can't believe they stuck with it now.
• 5:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: I would say again.
• 5:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: Too bad or too late.
• 6:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it would have been two to nothing instead of four to nothing.
• 6:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: That is right.
• 6:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: There's a unique difference.
• 6:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: There are two.
• 6:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: The old loop in a blast, isn't it?
• 6:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
• 6:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, let's talk about Mr. Schittler.
• 6:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: That was something else.
• 6:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh my gosh.
• 6:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: And Aaron Boone sticking with him through eight innings.
• 6:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: That was so remarkable.
• 6:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: Unbelievable.
• 6:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: I could not believe he even came out for the eighth inning.
• 6:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: He was under 100 pitches.
• 6:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: But just under 100, he was right at 96 or something like that.
• 6:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: Still?
• 6:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
• 6:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: That was old school stuff.
• 6:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: That was amazing, and then I thought, okay, as soon as the guy gets on base, they'll take him out for the old vision.
• 6:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: And it would be great.
• 6:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: But oh my gosh, he went through the eighth inning, one, two, three.
• 6:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was, that's incredible.
• 6:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: The things you think you'll see.
• 6:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, two good young pictures who were gonna be around for a while.
• 7:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, that was quite impressive.
• 7:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
• 7:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: Michelle, if you want anything for the Tigers now.
• 7:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: I didn't surprise me, they won, they've been successful, and it went surprise me if they win the next series, they know how to do it, but I like the, I'm, I'm pulling for the Mariners.
• 7:18
  [SPEAKER_02]: I, I would really like to see the Mariners in the world series.
• 7:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: I kind of like to see somebody, you know, somebody, I always enjoy it when somebody gets there that hasn't been there, but has had good teams in the past and been close.
• 7:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: And now for the reason that we're all here, we are here to make our picks as part of the major league baseball postseason media preview and prediction contest.
• 7:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: Tonight it's Paul and Michelle, but we will get everyone's picks off the air and we will keep track of those.
• 7:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: through the first round, Kade Hampton of the Muncie Star Press and Grant Shouse are IU guys, also from the Action Sports Network.
• 8:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: Perfect scores.
• 8:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: They predicted all four series and the right amount of games.
• 8:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: They have perfect scores.
• 8:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: One point off the perfect score.
• 8:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: Jay Stephens of the Cocombo post and Dave Chandley are Indy Car Guy.
• 8:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: And with 18 points,
• 8:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: of the Tipton Tribune and I would call later.
• 8:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: The only thing she missed was she had the Dodgers and Reds going through games and... Tigers and Cleveland going through game.
• 8:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: With 15 points of peace is Kevin Helferick of the Action Sports Network, Hanson Crafton are Fight Guy and...
• 8:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: With 14 points, Daniel Bragg of Bragg sports media are Major League Baseball Guy, Paul Tipton, IU Guy, My Cutsal, and Sam Frick are Colts Guy, also of A&EC Sports.
• 9:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: With 13 is Jake Dunn of the Purdue Report, with 12, your host, Greg Mengal about to make it come back.
• 9:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: With 10 points as well, Rutherford and Jeremy Giggy of white river communications.
• 9:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I do have Wills picks already.
• 9:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I will bring those up as we make them.
• 9:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: Guys, let's start in the National League as we always do.
• 9:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: And we start in the central.
• 9:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: That means Cubs and Brewers Paul.
• 9:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: What's your prediction?
• 9:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: I predict the Brewers.
• 9:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: Paul says Brewers in Florida, Michelle.
• 9:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: Oh man, I like burgers too.
• 9:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think it's gonna be a sweet.
• 9:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm trying to decide it's gonna be four go off five.
• 9:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: I, you know, I think I'm gonna say brewers and four also.
• 9:44
  [SPEAKER_02]: I know the reds, beat the brewers there at the end of the season, but the brewers weren't.
• 9:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think they were gearing up for the playoffs and the cobs, unless they can find that really find their bats, I mean, yes, they wonder series, but they scored six runs to do it.
• 10:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: They're going to, I think they're going to have to find your offense to win this series.
• 10:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Guys, the Brewers are, I've been telling you, it seems, it was a delayed July.
• 10:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: This Brewers team is going to crash and burn like all Brewers teams before them.
• 10:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: think I think the Cleveland Detroit series and the Boston New York series showed that this is not football and we can't predict a trend based on past results.
• 10:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: No, we're not able to predict the Yankees over the Red Sox for 100 years.
• 10:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, yes, but there are a lot of people who were thinking the Red Sox
• 10:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 10:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 10:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's changed for sure.
• 10:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: But yes.
• 10:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: The same teams tend to fall into similar patterns.
• 10:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I'm a I'm a brewer believer until they get at least until the NLCS.
• 10:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm probably more confident of the brewers advancing than any other pick I would make.
• 11:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: By the way, I say Cubs and Five.
• 11:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think it goes the residence and the Cubs when it and the brewers
• 11:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then I think it's got to be the best series of the divisional round Douglas and Philly's call.
• 11:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: I will take the Philly's in, I want to say four, but I'll say five, I'll be rational.
• 11:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think they have a better balance of hitting and pitching, and I think the Dodger bullpin is a little suspect.
• 11:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: So that's why I'm going with the Philly's.
• 11:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: Again, I'm going to take Philly's.
• 11:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm trying to decide it's going to be 4 or 5, but I don't think it'll be a sleep or a sweep.
• 11:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not going to be a sleep here.
• 11:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: It won't be a sweep, but I agree the Dodger bullpen concerns me.
• 12:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: They're offense.
• 12:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know that it's going to be as potent against Philadelphia.
• 12:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: Is it was against the reds to reasons Philadelphia's been here in this postseason before their guys?
• 12:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: They're not going to be over pumped.
• 12:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: What concerns me though is that they've had that extra rest sometimes and it can take a gain to get into it.
• 12:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: So I will say the fillings and five and I'll be honest.
• 12:25
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think this series should is really that the championship that
• 12:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: maybe the whole thing.
• 12:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 12:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: I also say fillies in five.
• 12:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: All three of us say fillies in five.
• 12:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: So Paul has brewers and fillies in the NLCS.
• 12:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: I have Cubs and fillies in the NLCS.
• 12:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: Michelle says brewers and fillies will rather third says Cubs and fillies.
• 12:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: And my cuttle says Cubs and Dodgers.
• 12:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: So a lot of variation on our baseball people.
• 13:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Let's move into the American League and the Mariners take on the Tigers, impressive series by the Tigers, can they beat the Mariners pole.
• 13:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: No, I don't think so.
• 13:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'll take the Mariners in four.
• 13:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think Michelle's right.
• 13:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: Sometimes a team waiting around and hearing about how great they are can start off a little sluggishly.
• 13:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: But I don't think Terri Skullbull can pitch at nine innings and I just don't think, I don't see the Tigers scoring that many runs.
• 13:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was shocked at their outburst today.
• 13:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: I thought that I thought it was gonna be another two-to-one game.
• 13:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: But anyway, yes, I will go with the Mariners
• 13:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: Mariners for me, but Mariners in five, I think we'll go off five.
• 13:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: This is a Mariners team, but I like it better because they're there.
• 13:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: But to me, this was a Mariners team that kind of flew under the radar.
• 13:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: To be where they are, you didn't hear a lot on them or see a lot about them necessarily on social media or people talking a lot about them.
• 14:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: So that votes well, I don't think.
• 14:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: Because of that, they feel quite as much pressure, but they have had that rest.
• 14:15
  [SPEAKER_02]: So that's why I think five.
• 14:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: I say five to Michelle.
• 14:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: I say Scoob will get to win.
• 14:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: They pick up another win somewhere else, but the Mariners get it done in game five.
• 14:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: How long's it been since the Mariners have been in championship series?
• 14:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: Trying to remember, was it back when King Murphy Jr was there?
• 14:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was doing, that's what I was wondering.
• 14:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, it has to be.
• 14:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
• 14:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: Michelle's right, it would be great for their fan base.
• 14:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: That if they lose to the Tigers, there's that is about the saddest group of people I could possibly imagine.
• 14:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, 11 Seattle.
• 14:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: I have a good friend.
• 14:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: The former mayor of Tiffton, Tom Dozel, he is a huge Seattle Mariners fan.
• 15:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, grew up in Indiana, but it's been a Mariners fan.
• 15:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: I hope I know Tom would really enjoy that and who knows, maybe he and Christie might find to make a trip, they'd get to the world series, maybe they'd try to get world series tickets I don't know.
• 15:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: But I hope, but I do hope it's, I hope the mayor there.
• 15:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, Rutherford says, Mariners in five, my cut soul says, Mariners in four, it's a sweep, which means congratulations to the Detroit Tigers, you are on your way.
• 15:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's a very good question.
• 15:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think tonight changed everything for Yankees fans and I could see their confidence and the blue jays can score a lot of runs sometimes, but they're pitching and it doesn't seem to
• 16:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: over all anybody.
• 16:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'll be bold and take the Yankees in five.
• 16:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm sorry, Paul.
• 16:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: I hate to hear you.
• 16:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: I won't root for him, but I'm going to pick the Yankees and I'll pick the Yankees in four.
• 16:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know what?
• 16:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's a lot of respect, Michelle.
• 16:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: In fact, I can't believe the Yankees have earned that kind of respect from you that you would cheer against them so strongly, but also pick them to beat the blue jays.
• 16:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, where was versus Yankees in four?
• 16:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: My cuttle says, ISIS, that's all he said.
• 16:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: What does that mean?
• 16:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: I believe he says that the Yankees are gonna and he's comparing them to ISIS.
• 16:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh my goodness, Michelle would never say anything like that.
• 16:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna get clarification, I assume that means that he's picking the Yankees.
• 17:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: And bad so he saved you to Red Sox.
• 17:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
• 17:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: He only picked me.
• 17:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you.
• 17:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: That evil Empire stuff didn't play anymore.
• 17:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think it does.
• 17:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: I like this team.
• 17:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: I like the team.
• 17:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I really like Aaron Judges.
• 17:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's really hard not to like.
• 17:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: Even Michelle likes Aaron Judges.
• 17:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: I do.
• 17:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: I used to say that if I had a son who played for the Cubs, I would hope he did well and that he lost.
• 17:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: What?
• 17:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: But you have so little respect for the brewers that you're picking the cubs.
• 17:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't let the cubs join, but the brewers are going to brewer all over the place.
• 17:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: Hmm, let's see.
• 17:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: Here's where I think though.
• 17:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: Craig Council now manages a cubs and he's the one that managed the brewers.
• 17:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: Someone they did all that brewers, stuff stuff.
• 17:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: Hey, pick brewers now over the cubs.
• 17:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: You're calling the Craig Council factor now.
• 18:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: Interesting.
• 18:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you guys so much.
• 18:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: We got it done before midnight tonight.
• 18:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: Hey, get some sleep.
• 18:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's syndrome and a sports report that's a product of IDV media, and I'll see you.
