- 1:37Speaker 5: Sports channel.
- 1:38Speaker 4: Clint Russell is back with me. Yo!
- 1:40Speaker 6: By the way, I... It's been three weeks in the
- 1:45Speaker 6: NFL season, and I have already demonstrated why I told
- 1:47Speaker 6: you don't listen to a word I have to say,
- 1:50Speaker 6: because obviously my Chargers are dog shit.
- 1:54Speaker 5: Well, I don't know if you want to mention that
- 1:57Speaker 5: on this show, because I gave out the Chargers plus
- 2:00Speaker 5: seven and a half as my best play of the week.
- 2:03Speaker 4: They should have covered that, man.
- 2:05Speaker 6: They should have won the game. Who cares?
- 2:08Speaker 4: One of the worst beats that I've ever seen, man.
- 2:10Speaker 4: It's unbelievable. five turnovers on the other side.
- 2:14Speaker 5: And by the way, uh, teams, teams that have committed
- 2:20Speaker 5: five turnovers in NFL games are three and 81 in
- 2:25Speaker 5: NFL history.
- 2:26Speaker 6: Yep.
- 2:28Speaker 4: Take a guess who the loser was in all three
- 2:30Speaker 4: of those games.
- 2:31Speaker 6: The chargers.
- 2:32Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 2:33Speaker 4: All three of them. Wow. Yeah.
- 2:35Speaker 5: I think one of them was that Trevor Lawrence, uh,
- 2:38Speaker 5: playoff game I'm pretty sure and the other one was
- 2:41Speaker 5: I don't know some past game that I don't really
- 2:44Speaker 5: remember but yeah.
- 2:45Speaker 6: I hate being a Chargers fan dude it's the worst.
- 2:48Speaker 5: Yeah I mean I needed to be a fan of
- 2:51Speaker 5: them this week and that uh that was brutal dude
- 2:53Speaker 5: just a brutal week all around and that was well that.
- 2:57Speaker 6: Was the worst let's cheer me up and talk about
- 2:59Speaker 6: my Padres let's go.
- 3:00Speaker 5: All right yeah your Padres are alive right now they're
- 3:03Speaker 5: in the playoffs along with my Red Sox.
- 3:05Speaker 6: We're much more than alive you son of a bitch Yes.
- 3:08Speaker 4: I actually think so too.
- 3:10Speaker 5: So I'm assuming because you don't watch my show, I'm
- 3:13Speaker 5: assuming you did not watch my, I did my own
- 3:16Speaker 5: filling out of this bracket already, but I'm not tipping
- 3:18Speaker 5: my hand here as far as what I think about
- 3:21Speaker 5: this bracket, but we do have the bracket up here.
- 3:24Speaker 5: You don't know what I'm about to say, I don't think,
- 3:25Speaker 5: but we have, yeah, I mean, this is the new
- 3:29Speaker 5: MLB format here where there are.
- 3:31Speaker 4: Three wild cards now from each league.
- 3:34Speaker 5: So the top two teams in each league get a
- 3:36Speaker 5: buy into the divisional series round wild card round starts tomorrow.
- 3:42Speaker 6: I love this format by the way it's great.
- 3:45Speaker 5: It's i don't know what i think about it i
- 3:47Speaker 5: know i don't hate it but i don't know um
- 3:50Speaker 5: yeah i mean i it's all right i think i
- 3:52Speaker 5: mean very few teams still make the playoffs like i
- 3:54Speaker 5: think if if they expanded any further than this i
- 3:56Speaker 5: think i'd probably start having problems with it but yeah
- 3:59Speaker 5: so i mean let's just Starting the AL, I guess,
- 4:03Speaker 5: because it's top left here. So wildcard round number three
- 4:06Speaker 5: versus number six is Houston Astros, who got in on
- 4:10Speaker 5: the last day by winning the AL West up against
- 4:14Speaker 5: wildcard Chicago White Sox, who fell out of the division
- 4:18Speaker 5: lead in the AL Central late.
- 4:21Speaker 4: And the Astros, by the way, finished below.
- 4:23Speaker 5: 500, and they have the worst record of a team
- 4:27Speaker 5: to ever make the playoffs ever.
- 4:30Speaker 6: And I'm still going with them to beat the White Sox.
- 4:32Speaker 4: So am I.
- 4:34Speaker 6: Yeah, it's just too much experience. The White Sox came
- 4:37Speaker 6: off of, I believe, the worst season in baseball history
- 4:40Speaker 6: last year, and they bounced back pretty hard. Am I right?
- 4:43Speaker 4: They had, yeah, it was, I know it was historically bad.
- 4:46Speaker 5: I'm not sure if it was the absolute worst, but
- 4:48Speaker 5: I remember it was like them and the Rockies were
- 4:50Speaker 5: like fighting for some like historical.
- 4:53Speaker 6: They lost like a hundred something games.
- 4:54Speaker 4: Badness.
- 4:55Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 4:55Speaker 6: So, you know, you know, kudos to them for. squeaking
- 5:00Speaker 6: into the playoffs, and that's awesome, and I'm glad that
- 5:02Speaker 6: they're bouncing back. As a Padres fan, I can very
- 5:05Speaker 6: much relate to that, and as a Chargers fan, but
- 5:09Speaker 6: the Houston Astros have pedigree, and I just assume that
- 5:12Speaker 6: even with them having a below 500 record, they'll find
- 5:14Speaker 6: a way to win.
- 5:15Speaker 4: I agree with that.
- 5:16Speaker 5: I don't think the Astros are quite as bad as
- 5:18Speaker 5: maybe their record would indicate.
- 5:20Speaker 4: You're right.
- 5:21Speaker 5: The experience definitely lies with Houston here. I mean, we're
- 5:23Speaker 5: talking about a team that is in the playoffs almost
- 5:26Speaker 5: every single year recently, and They have perhaps the best
- 5:29Speaker 5: hitter in the American League or maybe even in baseball
- 5:33Speaker 5: with Jordan Alvarez.
- 5:37Speaker 4: Is that his name?
- 5:38Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, yeah.
- 5:38Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 5:39Speaker 5: I mean, he's going to be the MVP in the AL,
- 5:41Speaker 5: so they have him. And I think their pitching is
- 5:44Speaker 5: probably actually better than the White Sox. Honestly, I don't
- 5:47Speaker 5: think any of their starting pitchers are actually reliable. Like
- 5:50Speaker 5: their best starter was, I guess, Davis Martin or Sean Burke, maybe.
- 5:54Speaker 6: It's so unfair to them to have to go on
- 5:57Speaker 6: the road, even though Houston has a below 500 record.
- 6:00Speaker 6: That sucks.
- 6:02Speaker 4: Well, that's what people are going to say.
- 6:03Speaker 5: But that's also another reason why I like Houston to
- 6:05Speaker 5: win the series, because everybody's just going to be everybody's.
- 6:08Speaker 5: The narrative is Houston shouldn't even be in the playoffs,
- 6:10Speaker 5: whatever worst record ever to make the playoffs. I'm like, yeah,
- 6:12Speaker 5: but they're actually a favorite in the series by a
- 6:15Speaker 5: little bit. I can bring up the odds, too, if
- 6:18Speaker 5: you want.
- 6:18Speaker 4: Nah. Don't care.
- 6:22Speaker 6: Okay. You can bring up the odds later, but let's
- 6:24Speaker 6: do it.
- 6:25Speaker 4: Without seeing the odds. Yeah, yeah. We'll do it without
- 6:27Speaker 4: seeing the odds. All right. So we both have Houston
- 6:29Speaker 4: winning that series.
- 6:31Speaker 5: Then we also have the wild card versus wild card
- 6:35Speaker 5: AL East matchup that happened last year as well between
- 6:38Speaker 5: the Red Sox and the Yankees in the Bronx. And
- 6:41Speaker 5: I'm already pissed about this because I don't know if
- 6:42Speaker 5: you saw what the What Major League Baseball did yesterday
- 6:46Speaker 5: is the Red Sox were playing against the Cubs, and
- 6:50Speaker 5: the game was meaningless, and people were trying to claim
- 6:52Speaker 5: that it wasn't, but the Cubs were already locked into
- 6:54Speaker 5: the five seed.
- 6:55Speaker 4: I'm positive of that. The Red Sox were already locked.
- 6:58Speaker 5: Into the five seed as well in the AL, but
- 7:01Speaker 5: they had to go down to Tampa Bay. So we
- 7:03Speaker 5: had really bad weather up here over the weekend, like
- 7:05Speaker 5: a nor'easter going on in the northeast.
- 7:08Speaker 4: Red Sox and Cubs... were forced.
- 7:11Speaker 5: To go down to Tampa Bay and play in the trop,
- 7:14Speaker 5: play a game yesterday that was meaningless for both teams,
- 7:17Speaker 5: while the Yankees were scheduled to play a meaningless game
- 7:20Speaker 5: against Baltimore, and the MLB just said, nope, we canceled it.
- 7:24Speaker 5: So the Red Sox had to travel to Tampa Bay
- 7:26Speaker 5: for no fucking reason yesterday while the Yankees had the
- 7:29Speaker 5: day off and stayed in New York.
- 7:32Speaker 4: Is that bullshit? I mean, yeah, seriously. I mean, that's weird.
- 7:36Speaker 6: Yeah, it's very, very strange. So they didn't play 162 games?
- 7:42Speaker 4: Right.
- 7:42Speaker 5: The Yankees and Baltimore did not. The game had no
- 7:46Speaker 5: meaning for them either.
- 7:48Speaker 6: Wait. So Boston, I thought you said Boston went to
- 7:52Speaker 6: Tampa and didn't play, but they did?
- 7:53Speaker 2: No, no, no.
- 7:54Speaker 4: Yes.
- 7:55Speaker 5: So the Yankees and the Orioles, that game got completely canceled.
- 7:58Speaker 5: The Red Sox and the Cubs went to Tampa Bay
- 8:01Speaker 5: and played yesterday, and the game was completely meaningless.
- 8:04Speaker 6: Okay. I don't think it was. I think, well, no,
- 8:07Speaker 6: I guess yesterday it was. Two games ago, it very
- 8:10Speaker 6: much wasn't for the Cubs.
- 8:12Speaker 4: Right, but as of going into yesterday, it didn't matter.
- 8:14Speaker 5: The Cubs were two games behind the Padres. They both
- 8:19Speaker 5: won yesterday. The Phillies also won yesterday. All those teams
- 8:23Speaker 5: won yesterday, and the Phillies, even if the Phillies had
- 8:26Speaker 5: won and the Cubs had lost yesterday, the Cubs have
- 8:28Speaker 5: the tiebreaker over them. The Cubs are 6-1 head-to-head against
- 8:32Speaker 5: the Phillies, so The game was meaningless.
- 8:34Speaker 4: So the MLB screwing the Red Sox here.
- 8:37Speaker 6: I don't understand why the Yankees didn't have to play.
- 8:41Speaker 6: Was it just.
- 8:42Speaker 4: Because of the weather?
- 8:43Speaker 5: No, they should have at least had to play. Well,
- 8:44Speaker 5: it was because of the weather, but they... They knew.
- 8:47Speaker 6: The weather was going to be bad. That's why they
- 8:49Speaker 6: sent Boston and Chicago down to Tampa. So why didn't
- 8:51Speaker 6: they do the same thing with the Yankees?
- 8:52Speaker 5: Right. And that's why neither team played on Saturday and
- 8:56Speaker 5: both teams had to play double headers on Friday in advance,
- 9:00Speaker 5: like knowing that Saturday they were not going to be
- 9:02Speaker 5: able to play.
- 9:02Speaker 4: So both teams played two games on Friday.
- 9:06Speaker 6: Yeah. I don't understand. That's very strange. I still don't
- 9:09Speaker 6: think it's like actually angling to benefit the Yankees. I
- 9:13Speaker 6: think it just screwed the Red Sox because I think
- 9:16Speaker 6: It definitely did. Because it's in New York, it's all
- 9:25Speaker 6: three games in New York, correct?
- 9:27Speaker 4: Yes, that is how this works.
- 9:30Speaker 6: Honestly, I feel like it's kind of a coin flip series,
- 9:32Speaker 6: so I'm going to go with the home team.
- 9:36Speaker 4: I agree.
- 9:37Speaker 5: I also have picked the Yankees to win this series,
- 9:39Speaker 5: even though that is exactly what happened last year. Even
- 9:41Speaker 5: though the Red Sox won game one of this particular
- 9:44Speaker 5: series last year the Yankees won the last two in
- 9:47Speaker 5: a row and won and yes a good good point
- 9:50Speaker 5: that all of these wild card series all there are
- 9:52Speaker 5: three game series and all three games are hosted by
- 9:55Speaker 5: the home team yes um i agree.
- 9:59Speaker 6: Which actually has not mattered in terms of uh you
- 10:02Speaker 6: know historical like it seems as if it's actually i
- 10:05Speaker 6: think it's favored the road team which is super fucking
- 10:07Speaker 6: strange but um regardless i still for whatever reason i
- 10:12Speaker 6: i'm feeling better about the yankees and the astros.
- 10:15Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, baseball is a close sport and there
- 10:17Speaker 5: isn't that much home advantage. And I will point out
- 10:19Speaker 5: that the Red Sox were a better road team than
- 10:21Speaker 5: home team this year.
- 10:23Speaker 6: But even so, that could help a lot.
- 10:26Speaker 5: But when the Red Sox had that sweep over the Yankees,
- 10:28Speaker 5: that did happen in Boston. And you were here with
- 10:32Speaker 5: me when the Red Sox were playing in New York
- 10:34Speaker 5: the last time they did. And they lost three out
- 10:35Speaker 5: of four games in that series.
- 10:36Speaker 4: And I was not happy about it.
- 10:39Speaker 6: That's true.
- 10:39Speaker 4: But yeah, I think the teams are pretty closely matched though.
- 10:42Speaker 5: Like they have, they both have good pitching, like pretty
- 10:44Speaker 5: much all around and the Yankees have the better offense,
- 10:47Speaker 5: but they are without Aaron judge right now. The Yankees,
- 10:51Speaker 5: but the Red Sox have some injuries as well. So
- 10:54Speaker 5: not as significant as that, but.
- 10:56Speaker 6: As you can tell, I've paid much more attention to
- 10:58Speaker 6: the NL than Dale. Cause my team's in the NL.
- 11:00Speaker 6: So I don't have much to say about this one. Sorry.
- 11:03Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 11:03Speaker 4: Red Sox have a couple of bullpen injuries. I don't know.
- 11:06Speaker 5: The injuries are kind of piling up for them, but yeah,
- 11:08Speaker 5: I agree with you. Yankees, Would be my pick to
- 11:11Speaker 5: win that series.
- 11:11Speaker 4: I mean, they are.
- 11:12Speaker 5: Unfortunately, I think I'm going to be not happy about
- 11:16Speaker 5: the result of this thing.
- 11:17Speaker 4: Okay. Should we go to the NL wildcard now?
- 11:20Speaker 6: Yeah, of course.
- 11:22Speaker 5: Phillies and Braves in Atlanta, number six versus number three here.
- 11:26Speaker 6: Not only do I think the Braves are going to win,
- 11:28Speaker 6: but I think they're going to fucking smash the Phillies.
- 11:31Speaker 4: I think the Phillies are going to win this series.
- 11:33Speaker 6: Wow, that's crazy.
- 11:34Speaker 4: Even though I'm not that high on the Phillies.
- 11:36Speaker 5: And the Phillies, I believe, wound up with a very
- 11:38Speaker 5: bad run differential this year that was either slightly positive
- 11:42Speaker 5: or actually negative. So I was pretty low on the
- 11:45Speaker 5: Phillies for most of the season.
- 11:46Speaker 6: However, they lost like eight of their last ten.
- 11:50Speaker 4: I don't care.
- 11:51Speaker 5: I think they're starting pitching. I think starting pitching matters,
- 11:56Speaker 5: even though I know hitting does matter.
- 11:58Speaker 6: They were playing for their playoff lives, and they lost
- 12:00Speaker 6: like eight of the last ten games.
- 12:02Speaker 4: I know.
- 12:02Speaker 5: That's why nobody's going to want them. But I think
- 12:04Speaker 5: starting pitching has a big impact, and I think Philly
- 12:06Speaker 5: has a huge advantage in the starting pitching. The Braves
- 12:09Speaker 5: starting pitching beyond Chris Sale is actually terrible.
- 12:13Speaker 6: This is easily one of the worst picks I've ever
- 12:16Speaker 6: seen you make. Okay. I'm serious. The Phillies, the D-backs
- 12:22Speaker 6: were breathing down their neck and the Phillies choked for
- 12:26Speaker 6: two weeks straight. And you're like, but the pitching, man,
- 12:29Speaker 6: it doesn't matter. They're going to fucking beat the Braves
- 12:31Speaker 6: who had, I think, 20 more wins.
- 12:36Speaker 4: Ripple is agreeing with me. Well, yeah, I mean, you
- 12:38Speaker 4: know me. I go contrarian a lot. I go against
- 12:41Speaker 4: the public. Yeah, I guess.
- 12:43Speaker 5: My reasoning for this is the starting pitching, though. The Braves, again,
- 12:47Speaker 5: they have Chris Sale. Yeah, we know he's completely elite still.
- 12:50Speaker 4: And with a lot of experience.
- 12:52Speaker 5: But beyond him, their starting pitching is like Tyler Molle,
- 12:56Speaker 5: Martin Perez, and I don't even fucking know.
- 13:00Speaker 4: Who else do they have? I don't know.
- 13:02Speaker 5: Their starting pitching is awful, dude. Even though the Braves
- 13:04Speaker 5: have a really good bullpen, they do have the better
- 13:06Speaker 5: hitting here. But the Phillies' rotation is one of the
- 13:10Speaker 5: best in baseball. They have Zach Wheeler, Christopher Sanchez, Jesus Lizardo,
- 13:15Speaker 5: assuming he's coming back off the injured list because he's
- 13:18Speaker 5: been injured a little bit.
- 13:19Speaker 4: At the end of the season here.
- 13:20Speaker 5: And then Aaron Nola, who used to be good, seems
- 13:23Speaker 5: like he's actually pitching well again after having some injury
- 13:27Speaker 5: riddled seasons.
- 13:28Speaker 6: I'll give you, I'll give you this. They do have
- 13:30Speaker 6: the better pitching. Um, and if their pitchers absolutely, you know,
- 13:34Speaker 6: throw a gem, then I can see them winning. But
- 13:37Speaker 6: if they don't, if they don't throw like a really,
- 13:40Speaker 6: really great two games, three games, uh, they're going to
- 13:43Speaker 6: get fucking annihilated. The Braves are a way better team
- 13:47Speaker 6: and the Phillies choked to death over the last month.
- 13:50Speaker 6: To death. You have not been paying attention to this clearly.
- 13:54Speaker 6: I have because my Padres have been fighting for a fucking.
- 13:57Speaker 4: I mean, I am. I do a show about it.
- 14:00Speaker 6: Every single day. Apparently you're not paying close attention because
- 14:03Speaker 6: they sucked ass for three weeks straight or two weeks
- 14:06Speaker 6: at least and you're just discounting that for no apparent
- 14:09Speaker 6: reason as if they weren't fighting for their playoff lives.
- 14:13Speaker 4: They, they got it. I actually liked that. I like
- 14:15Speaker 4: teams that had to fight for their playoff lives.
- 14:17Speaker 6: So do I, when they win, I don't like it
- 14:19Speaker 6: when they're, when they're playing 10 playoff games in a
- 14:22Speaker 6: row and they lose eight of them. I don't go, well,
- 14:25Speaker 6: I'm sure once they're in the playoffs, they're going to
- 14:27Speaker 6: do better for no reason.
- 14:29Speaker 4: That is what I'm doing. Uh, Wayne is pointing out here.
- 14:31Speaker 4: Thank you, sir.
- 14:32Speaker 5: The Perez is actually hurt. So yeah, it'll be grant
- 14:35Speaker 5: homes is in the rotation. I don't think that's really
- 14:37Speaker 5: any better. I don't think homes is very good either. So, um,
- 14:41Speaker 5: Braves have a lot of starting pitchers that are just
- 14:44Speaker 5: injured that haven't really played the season and they're not,
- 14:46Speaker 5: that are not going to be playing here. So yeah,
- 14:49Speaker 5: I think the Phillies find a way with their starting
- 14:51Speaker 5: pitcher rotation.
- 14:52Speaker 4: So that's the first one where we disagree.
- 14:54Speaker 5: I'm going to, I'm going to show you what the
- 14:56Speaker 5: odds say later on, but, and now we get to your, uh,
- 15:00Speaker 5: San Diego Padres hosting the Chicago Cubs in the four
- 15:03Speaker 5: or five matchup.
- 15:04Speaker 4: I think this is an interesting series.
- 15:07Speaker 6: I mean, it's a great series. Um, If it was
- 15:12Speaker 6: June of this season, I'm like, we're getting fucking mollywhopped.
- 15:16Speaker 6: But our bats came to life over the past two months.
- 15:19Speaker 6: We've been probably the hottest team in baseball for two months,
- 15:22Speaker 6: and our pitching is pretty good. It's far from elite.
- 15:27Speaker 6: If we had got Musgrove back or Darvish back, I
- 15:29Speaker 6: would be pretty much 100% assured.
- 15:34Speaker 4: You got Pavetta, though.
- 15:36Speaker 6: Yes, we did get Pavetta, and King has been lights out,
- 15:39Speaker 6: so I like our chances a lot. Obviously it's all
- 15:42Speaker 6: going to cut, like it's only three games. So you got,
- 15:45Speaker 6: you got to hit, uh, the Padres have had, you know,
- 15:48Speaker 6: big chunks of this season where they didn't hit. Obviously
- 15:50Speaker 6: the last wildcard series that they played in was against
- 15:53Speaker 6: the Cubs in Chicago. They didn't hit at all. It
- 15:56Speaker 6: was one of the worst experiences of my entire life. Uh,
- 15:59Speaker 6: their bats had holes in them. They have looked really,
- 16:03Speaker 6: really fucking good for months now. I think that the
- 16:07Speaker 6: Padres finally get it done. We got a new manager.
- 16:10Speaker 6: I think he has instilled real faith in these guys,
- 16:13Speaker 6: and the chemistry in the clubhouse is tremendous. The players
- 16:17Speaker 6: seem to genuinely love each other, genuinely love the manager.
- 16:19Speaker 4: Chemistry matters, man. Who is their manager now, by the way?
- 16:26Speaker 6: I'm blanking on his name. He's a young guy.
- 16:27Speaker 4: That's another good point, though.
- 16:29Speaker 5: The Red Sox have a first-time manager this year because
- 16:32Speaker 5: they fired Alex Cora, which I was happy about. Chad
- 16:35Speaker 5: Tracy is the Red Sox manager. He's been good, and
- 16:37Speaker 5: they seem to have chemistry with him. But the inexperience
- 16:40Speaker 5: of the manager kind of worries me for the Red
- 16:42Speaker 5: Sox as well. I don't know who the Padres manager is.
- 16:44Speaker 5: But you're saying he's inexperienced as well?
- 16:47Speaker 6: Well, yeah. I mean, he is inexperienced. He's a rookie coach.
- 16:48Speaker 6: But I think that he, along with Preller, the GM,
- 16:53Speaker 6: just like what they did at the trade deadline, you know,
- 16:59Speaker 6: even though they didn't bring in anybody that like shook
- 17:02Speaker 6: up the world, it just– it put all of the
- 17:05Speaker 6: faith back into them. Um, I feel like the guys
- 17:09Speaker 6: were really like on the ropes heading into the trade deadline.
- 17:12Speaker 6: Like people forget cause the Padres ended up being the
- 17:15Speaker 6: four seed, but at the trade deadline, like there was
- 17:17Speaker 6: a better than 50% chance they were going to be sellers.
- 17:20Speaker 6: Like it looked like we were just going to dump everybody.
- 17:22Speaker 4: I remember.
- 17:23Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 17:23Speaker 6: Yeah. And, and when they added Robbie Ray, yeah, well
- 17:28Speaker 6: they got Ray and that other kid, um.
- 17:30Speaker 4: My eyes and neither of them has been good, but yeah.
- 17:33Speaker 6: No, my has been terrible. Like terrible, terrible. But regardless,
- 17:38Speaker 6: I think that the guys needed that shot in the arm.
- 17:40Speaker 6: They needed to be like, all right, yeah, we still
- 17:41Speaker 6: have a chance. Like we could fucking do this. And
- 17:43Speaker 6: then suddenly the bats all turned on and like Merrill
- 17:48Speaker 6: and Tatis who had been terrible for the first half
- 17:51Speaker 6: or not good at all. Like the power came back.
- 17:54Speaker 6: The average came back. Machado's average never really picked up,
- 17:57Speaker 6: but he crushed a ton of home runs in the
- 17:59Speaker 6: second half. Even... I'm blanking on our shortstop's name, former
- 18:04Speaker 6: Red Sox. He bounced back hard.
- 18:06Speaker 4: Bogarts.
- 18:07Speaker 6: Yeah, Bogarts finally came alive. Cronenworth came alive. Basically, everyone
- 18:12Speaker 6: in our lineup who was not good at all for
- 18:15Speaker 6: fucking the first 100 games, like the last 60, they
- 18:18Speaker 6: were just fucking great.
- 18:21Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 18:22Speaker 5: Actually, I agree with you. I have the Padres winning
- 18:25Speaker 5: the series, and I think the Cubs are overrated just
- 18:29Speaker 5: because everybody loves their offense and they love PCA and whatever.
- 18:32Speaker 5: But the Cubs pitching is actually worse than the Padres.
- 18:36Speaker 5: The Padres have a really good bullpen.
- 18:37Speaker 4: We know that. But the Cubs starting pitching is actually
- 18:40Speaker 4: not good.
- 18:41Speaker 5: Like they have Matthew Boyd, who, by the way, has
- 18:43Speaker 5: terrible numbers against the Padres. Their only good starter is
- 18:47Speaker 5: Shota Imanaga.
- 18:48Speaker 4: He's legit.
- 18:48Speaker 5: But everybody else, I'm not convinced any of their other
- 18:51Speaker 5: pitchers are good. They got Gaussman at the trade deadline
- 18:53Speaker 5: from Toronto. He's okay, but he also does not have
- 18:57Speaker 5: great numbers against San Diego. So, yeah, I think San
- 19:00Speaker 5: Diego finds a way. I think they get through the series. And, yeah,
- 19:03Speaker 5: their offense has been better. And like you said, their.
- 19:05Speaker 4: Offense has woken up.
- 19:06Speaker 5: And that is also what Ripple is making that point
- 19:10Speaker 5: about the Phillies offense as well, by the way. Like,
- 19:12Speaker 5: you look at both the Padres and the Phillies, you
- 19:14Speaker 5: look at who they have in their lineup, and you're like,
- 19:16Speaker 5: how is this lineup not hitting?
- 19:17Speaker 4: You know what I mean? Yeah.
- 19:19Speaker 6: Yeah. Well, the... I mean, that's how I felt about
- 19:21Speaker 6: the Padres for the whole season practically. And I was like,
- 19:24Speaker 6: what the fuck is going on? Um, but, uh, yeah,
- 19:27Speaker 6: once they started to hit and then we brought up this,
- 19:29Speaker 6: this young kid, this 20 year old catcher, who's like
- 19:31Speaker 6: the youngest pro catcher we've ever had. Um, who's been,
- 19:35Speaker 6: I mean, his, his bat was like gone for the
- 19:39Speaker 6: first couple of weeks, but it seems to have come alive. Um,
- 19:42Speaker 6: we brought up some other kid who's like a utility
- 19:44Speaker 6: outfielder who's been hitting and like, i've just been shocked
- 19:48Speaker 6: like almost all of the uh guys who have been
- 19:52Speaker 6: brought up have contributed instantaneously uh i'm blanking on our
- 19:56Speaker 6: other backup catcher he's been fucking great I'm really impressed.
- 20:01Speaker 6: All of the pieces, other than the trade deadline, two
- 20:04Speaker 6: pitchers we brought over who have not been great at all,
- 20:08Speaker 6: but everything else Preller has done has worked out great.
- 20:12Speaker 5: I don't know what happened to Mize because he was
- 20:13Speaker 5: having a really good season with Detroit. You put him
- 20:16Speaker 5: in a more pitcher-friendly park, I have no idea how
- 20:18Speaker 5: he hasn't been good.
- 20:20Speaker 6: I think, obviously, you always wonder if a pitcher that
- 20:24Speaker 6: gets traded, if their confidence just goes, but Whatever the
- 20:27Speaker 6: fuck happened, I need him to wake the fuck up,
- 20:29Speaker 6: because he has looked awful.
- 20:31Speaker 5: Yeah, Wayne is countering my Phillies pick a little bit.
- 20:34Speaker 5: I guess Luzardo is only going to be an opener tomorrow.
- 20:37Speaker 5: That worries me a little bit more. He's been one
- 20:40Speaker 5: of their best starters, man, but I don't know. I mean,
- 20:42Speaker 5: if I were the Phillies, I would stretch him out,
- 20:45Speaker 5: but yes, I don't know what the Phillies are actually doing,
- 20:47Speaker 5: and apparently Arias, who they got from the Giants at
- 20:50Speaker 5: the trade deadline. He's a solid bat. I guess he's
- 20:53Speaker 5: out for Philly as well. That was a good pickup
- 20:55Speaker 5: for them.
- 20:56Speaker 4: I don't know, man. We'll see.
- 20:57Speaker 6: More than a solid bat. He played for the Padres
- 20:59Speaker 6: for years. He has multiple batting titles.
- 21:02Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 21:04Speaker 5: So we only disagree so far on that Philly's Braves series.
- 21:07Speaker 5: I'm sticking with Philly in that one.
- 21:08Speaker 4: I think it's the worst.
- 21:09Speaker 6: It's literally the worst pick I've ever seen in my
- 21:11Speaker 6: entire life.
- 21:12Speaker 4: We'll see.
- 21:13Speaker 6: I feel like the Sox could win, and I feel
- 21:15Speaker 6: like I feel like both of the Sox could win.
- 21:19Speaker 6: I feel like the white Sox and the Boston red
- 21:21Speaker 6: Sox could win and totally upset both of my picks
- 21:24Speaker 6: in the AL, but.
- 21:26Speaker 4: I really don't see the white Sox.
- 21:27Speaker 6: I feel pretty confident about the NL picks though. Yeah.
- 21:31Speaker 5: I mean the red Sox with the pictures that they have,
- 21:34Speaker 5: they could, they could win theoretically like any series. I mean,
- 21:38Speaker 5: they're going to, they're going totally gray and Suarez and
- 21:41Speaker 5: they've all, they've all been good, but totally is going
- 21:45Speaker 5: to be countered by Schlittler in game one. So that's
- 21:47Speaker 5: just going to be like a, you know, what is
- 21:49Speaker 5: that going to be like a one nothing game?
- 21:51Speaker 4: Probably. I mean, that game's just, it seems like it's
- 21:53Speaker 4: a coin flip and the.
- 21:55Speaker 6: Phillies pick is the worst thing I've ever seen. I've
- 21:56Speaker 6: ever seen anybody do.
- 21:58Speaker 5: Ever, but also Schlittler has experience. I think Schlittler pitched
- 22:02Speaker 5: in this series last year.
- 22:03Speaker 6: It's just insane.
- 22:04Speaker 4: I mean, you're a professional, like better guy.
- 22:07Speaker 6: And you're like, I don't care. I don't care what
- 22:09Speaker 6: they did over there.
- 22:10Speaker 5: Right.
- 22:11Speaker 7: What?
- 22:14Speaker 4: You would have said that my Chargers bet was insane yesterday,
- 22:16Speaker 4: but it should have won.
- 22:18Speaker 6: No, actually, I wouldn't have said that. I think seven
- 22:20Speaker 6: and a half, I think that the Chargers had, they
- 22:22Speaker 6: were due for a bounce back, but they were also
- 22:25Speaker 6: due for a bad beat. So it doesn't surprise me
- 22:28Speaker 6: that you lost that bet, but I'm also not surprised
- 22:30Speaker 6: you made it. Seven and a half is a lot
- 22:32Speaker 6: when a team's playing for its life, which the Chargers were.
- 22:35Speaker 6: Our defense showed up, fucking piece of fucking shit. Dustin Herbert,
- 22:39Speaker 6: I had so much faith in you.
- 22:41Speaker 4: They got to fire Mike McDaniels, man. They have to
- 22:44Speaker 4: get rid of him.
- 22:44Speaker 6: Mike McDaniels should literally be... I want... Who's... What's our
- 22:53Speaker 6: safety's name? I'm blanking on his name. 33, I think.
- 22:58Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know too many of the personnel,
- 23:00Speaker 4: especially not on the defense.
- 23:02Speaker 6: Well, you should.
- 23:04Speaker 4: I can't remember his name.
- 23:05Speaker 6: Anyways, he's great. He's been fucking awesome for us for
- 23:07Speaker 6: a decade.
- 23:08Speaker 4: I just put money on this, Clint.
- 23:10Speaker 6: I want him.
- 23:12Speaker 6: And I want Justin Herbert, and I want a couple
- 23:15Speaker 6: of their offensive linemen to grab each of our offensive
- 23:19Speaker 6: coordinator's limbs, and then I just want them to sprint
- 23:22Speaker 6: in the opposite directions. Okay. I fucking hate him. I
- 23:28Speaker 6: can't believe what he has done to Justin Herbert. He
- 23:31Speaker 6: has fucking broken him. It's so sad. And I'll also
- 23:35Speaker 6: add that whatever that beer lady is that Herbert's.
- 23:40Speaker 4: Wifed up with, Oh, she's distracting him.
- 23:43Speaker 6: She's way too attractive. She's obviously fucking sucked the life
- 23:47Speaker 6: out of him with her unbelievably beautiful face and vagina
- 23:50Speaker 6: and asshole probably.
- 23:51Speaker 4: And mouth.
- 23:52Speaker 6: All of it. And Miss Beer needs to... I want her...
- 23:59Speaker 6: What's her offensive coordinator's name?
- 24:01Speaker 4: Mike McDaniel.
- 24:02Speaker 6: McDaniels. I want to call him McCarthy. I want McDaniels
- 24:05Speaker 6: and Beer. I want them to be put into opposing
- 24:08Speaker 6: catapults at the 50-yard line, and I want to have
- 24:11Speaker 6: them launch into each other and explode into a million pieces.
- 24:14Speaker 6: That's literally the only hope that we have of Herbert
- 24:17Speaker 6: coming back to life.
- 24:18Speaker 4: But Mike McDaniel is a husband and father, man.
- 24:21Speaker 6: I don't care. You ruined my franchise quarterback, Justin Herbert.
- 24:27Speaker 6: has all of the skills necessary to be at least
- 24:31Speaker 6: a top three quarterback. He was a top three quarterback
- 24:34Speaker 6: for like his rookie or sophomore season.
- 24:38Speaker 4: A new uniform, like just trade him. You mean Clint?
- 24:41Speaker 4: I don't think you would agree with that. I think
- 24:43Speaker 4: you like, Oh, I might, I might.
- 24:44Speaker 6: I mean, really, you know, you see a quarterback I've,
- 24:48Speaker 6: I've gone through so many, you know, I've had really
- 24:50Speaker 6: great quarterbacks, but before that I had like just a
- 24:53Speaker 6: fucking conveyor belt of shit quarterbacks and, I know that
- 24:56Speaker 6: at a certain point you have like literally broken a guy. And, uh,
- 25:00Speaker 6: and I, I fear that Herbert's getting close to that, but,
- 25:03Speaker 6: but I will say, because he's got a new OC,
- 25:06Speaker 6: it's only been three games. You know, if he fucking
- 25:10Speaker 6: figures out how to deal with this, this, uh, motion offense, maybe,
- 25:14Speaker 6: maybe he can, he can bounce back, but my God,
- 25:16Speaker 6: our fucking, the first two games we had to win,
- 25:19Speaker 6: had to, had to, had to. And then the rest of.
- 25:22Speaker 4: The season, Yeah, this upcoming schedule is difficult.
- 25:26Speaker 6: We have the hardest fucking schedule for two months straight
- 25:29Speaker 6: I have ever seen a team have. It is insane.
- 25:31Speaker 6: And if we had won those first two games, then
- 25:35Speaker 6: we might have survived. But now we're fucking dead. Dead, dead, dead.
- 25:40Speaker 5: Yeah, 0-3, virtually a death sentence. Although Houston, I mentioned
- 25:45Speaker 5: it on my show, but for some reason I thought
- 25:46Speaker 5: it was Cincinnati, but it was Houston. Last year, Houston
- 25:50Speaker 5: started out 0-3 and they still made the playoffs. but
- 25:53Speaker 5: they're also in a really shitty division.
- 25:55Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly. We're in a fucking great division. So yeah.
- 25:58Speaker 5: And Houston's going to try to do that again. Cause
- 25:59Speaker 5: their own three again, which I did not see coming.
- 26:03Speaker 4: All right.
- 26:04Speaker 6: Um, we both have Morgan beer. What's her fucking name?
- 26:07Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's right. Yeah.
- 26:09Speaker 6: I don't know.
- 26:10Speaker 4: I can't remember, but something like that.
- 26:11Speaker 6: Why does she have to be so attractive and suck
- 26:13Speaker 6: him silly? Why did she have to do that?
- 26:17Speaker 4: I don't know. He, Yeah, it's ruining him. He's got
- 26:19Speaker 4: to get away.
- 26:20Speaker 6: I swear. I'm not even kidding.
- 26:22Speaker 4: She's his Jessica Simpson, basically.
- 26:24Speaker 6: I honestly believe she sucked the fucking talent out of
- 26:26Speaker 6: his dick.
- 26:27Speaker 4: Oh, it's Madison. All right. Madison Beard.
- 26:30Speaker 6: Thank you. She sucked the fucking magic out of him.
- 26:33Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 26:35Speaker 2: Oh, man.
- 26:37Speaker 4: All right.
- 26:38Speaker 5: We both have Houston matching up here against the... I
- 26:42Speaker 5: still call them the Cleveland Indians because I refuse not
- 26:44Speaker 5: to and.
- 26:45Speaker 4: Cleveland was up here.
- 26:46Speaker 5: I was at Fenway Park while the Indians were up
- 26:50Speaker 5: here facing the Red Sox. We had a lot of
- 26:54Speaker 5: Cleveland fans up here, and half of the fans were
- 26:56Speaker 5: wearing Indians merch.
- 26:57Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah.
- 26:59Speaker 5: They want it back, man. So we have that Cleveland
- 27:02Speaker 5: team against Houston. We both have that in our picks here.
- 27:06Speaker 5: It's kind of an interesting series, I would say. Cleveland,
- 27:11Speaker 5: of course, wound up winning the AL Central after not
- 27:14Speaker 5: being really great this season, but.
- 27:17Speaker 6: What's their record?
- 27:20Speaker 5: I mean, they're, I don't know, like six games above.
- 27:22Speaker 5: 500 or probably something in that territory.
- 27:24Speaker 6: So like. 88 something?
- 27:27Speaker 4: Something like that.
- 27:31Speaker 6: You know, I feel like Houston squeaks past the White Sox,
- 27:35Speaker 6: but I don't feel like they get past Cleveland.
- 27:38Speaker 4: I also agree with that. Cleveland....
- 27:42Speaker 5: I like pitching, man, and Cleveland has the better pitching
- 27:44Speaker 5: over Houston. They have the better bullpen. They have the
- 27:46Speaker 5: better starting pitchers. They do have a rookie who's really good,
- 27:50Speaker 5: and he is inexperienced, Messick, but Cleveland also has Williams,
- 27:54Speaker 5: who's had his best season ever this year. He's been
- 27:57Speaker 5: an insane strikeout pitcher this year. And then, like, Bybee,
- 28:02Speaker 5: at least, is a decent pitcher with experience. I like
- 28:04Speaker 5: what they have going on in their rotation a lot
- 28:06Speaker 5: more than Houston, who basically has Hunter Brown, who is
- 28:10Speaker 5: really good, but he's coming back from injury, and he's
- 28:12Speaker 5: been a little bit shaky. And then beyond him, they
- 28:14Speaker 5: really don't have, like, anybody that I like in their
- 28:17Speaker 5: starting pitching rotation.
- 28:18Speaker 4: So, yeah, I don't know, man.
- 28:19Speaker 5: Even though Houston does have the pedigree, the experience, and
- 28:22Speaker 5: they do have the offense.
- 28:24Speaker 4: Cleveland's offense is terrible.
- 28:26Speaker 5: So that would be the one advantage Houston really has
- 28:28Speaker 5: in that series would be Houston's offense is way better.
- 28:31Speaker 4: But I like pitching to defeat offense, so.
- 28:36Speaker 4: Maybe it's just me. I'm old school, man.
- 28:39Speaker 6: Okay, let's go to Tampa versus the Yanks.
- 28:43Speaker 5: Yes, Tampa with the number one record. Also, I believe
- 28:47Speaker 5: the best home record in baseball.
- 28:49Speaker 6: Dude, do you know what the fucking Dodgers are going
- 28:50Speaker 6: to do to the Phillies if the Phillies get to
- 28:52Speaker 6: that fucking second round? You fucking idiot, you.
- 28:55Speaker 4: Yeah. Win, you mean?
- 28:57Speaker 6: They're going to butt fuck them. My God.
- 29:00Speaker 5: Yeah, I have the Dodgers winning that series. I'm jumping
- 29:03Speaker 5: the gun.
- 29:04Speaker 4: Oh, shit. I'm not that crazy.
- 29:06Speaker 5: I've seen some professional guys like the Phillies to make.
- 29:10Speaker 4: The World Series.
- 29:11Speaker 6: Well, they should kill themselves.
- 29:14Speaker 4: Tampa against the Yankees. In Tampa, where Tampa's been very
- 29:18Speaker 4: good this year.
- 29:20Speaker 6: Didn't they have the best record? No, they didn't. They
- 29:22Speaker 6: had like 90-something wins.
- 29:24Speaker 5: They had the best record in the American League, but
- 29:26Speaker 5: I believe the Dodgers and the Brewers both had better records.
- 29:29Speaker 6: Yeah, Brewers had the best record.
- 29:30Speaker 2: All right.
- 29:31Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 29:32Speaker 6: I think Tampa finds a way. I don't have a lot.
- 29:35Speaker 6: I mean, I don't love the Yankees or the Red Sox.
- 29:37Speaker 6: I don't really love the Rays either, but I feel like...
- 29:40Speaker 6: like they have just better team. Even though Pedigree could
- 29:44Speaker 6: win the day, I could see the Red Sox or
- 29:46Speaker 6: the Yankees upsetting the Rays.
- 29:50Speaker 5: I have the Yankees beating the Rays, which really sucks
- 29:53Speaker 5: for me because I fucking hate the Yankees.
- 29:55Speaker 6: Okay.
- 29:56Speaker 4: And Judge may be back at that point. We don't
- 29:59Speaker 4: really know yet. I have no idea. But Tampa, I
- 30:03Speaker 4: don't know.
- 30:03Speaker 5: To me, I think they're a little bit of a
- 30:04Speaker 5: mirage here, even though they haven't done anything that badly
- 30:08Speaker 5: this year. They've had fine starting pitching, fine bullpen pitching.
- 30:13Speaker 4: Their offense has been pretty good. I don't know, man.
- 30:15Speaker 6: They've solidly won 60% of their games all year.
- 30:18Speaker 4: Yeah, I know.
- 30:20Speaker 5: It's Tampa with Rasmussen, who's actually a really, really good pitcher,
- 30:24Speaker 5: having his best season. But beyond him, it's like, I
- 30:26Speaker 5: don't know, Nick Martinez. It's like guys that are just overperforming.
- 30:30Speaker 5: Tampa really knows how to manage. They're a very well-managed team,
- 30:33Speaker 5: and they're like a small-ball team.
- 30:35Speaker 4: But I just, I don't know.
- 30:36Speaker 5: I don't see that winning against a Yankees team that
- 30:39Speaker 5: just spends way more and has, you know, Schlittler, Freed,
- 30:43Speaker 5: fucking who else do they have in their rotation?
- 30:45Speaker 4: They have a bunch of Garrett Cole. Yeah, I think
- 30:49Speaker 4: the Yankees win.
- 30:50Speaker 6: I literally, I go out of my way to pay
- 30:53Speaker 6: as little attention to the AL as possible. So whatever
- 30:57Speaker 6: your selections are on the AL, I won't really argue about.
- 30:59Speaker 6: But let's flash over to your fucking piece of shit
- 31:02Speaker 6: Phillies against the Dodgers.
- 31:04Speaker 5: Yeah, Phillies against the Dodgers. Well, I already told you,
- 31:06Speaker 5: I think the Dodgers win that.
- 31:08Speaker 4: I think the.
- 31:09Speaker 6: Dodgers beat either of those teams. They beat them by 3,000 runs.
- 31:14Speaker 4: In three games.
- 31:15Speaker 6: They beat them in three games. That's how fucking bad
- 31:16Speaker 6: it is. They just call it after three games. They go,
- 31:19Speaker 6: it's over.
- 31:21Speaker 4: James is calling for Atlanta to win the whole thing.
- 31:23Speaker 4: I just, I don't see it.
- 31:25Speaker 6: You're right. The Braves are going to fucking absolutely get
- 31:27Speaker 6: past the Phillies. So you have a chance.
- 31:28Speaker 4: I don't like the Braves starting rotation at all.
- 31:32Speaker 6: You're just a big fat retard is what you are.
- 31:34Speaker 5: But the Dodgers do. The Dodgers though. I mean, it's
- 31:37Speaker 5: going to be so difficult to.
- 31:38Speaker 6: Beat the Dodgers. The Dodgers are unbelievable.
- 31:40Speaker 4: They spend all this money.
- 31:41Speaker 5: They got fucking scooble at the trade deadline and they
- 31:44Speaker 5: did what they did last year where they have their
- 31:45Speaker 5: two somewhat older, like really good pitchers, uh, Blake Snell,
- 31:49Speaker 5: who I know you're familiar with, and Tyler Glasnow. They
- 31:52Speaker 5: had them injured for most of the season.
- 31:54Speaker 4: So they're going to be in the playoffs fresh.
- 31:56Speaker 5: And then they got Yamamoto, who was the MVP of
- 31:59Speaker 5: the World Series last year. And even beyond those guys,
- 32:02Speaker 5: they have like other solid pitchers that just aren't even
- 32:04Speaker 5: in the rotation. Like Otani might not even be in
- 32:06Speaker 5: the rotation. They might just use him as a bat.
- 32:09Speaker 4: It's so ridiculous.
- 32:11Speaker 6: I mean, it's a wealth of riches. It's a miracle
- 32:15Speaker 6: that the Padres have made the playoffs three or four
- 32:17Speaker 6: years in a row. given that we're in the same division.
- 32:21Speaker 4: Yeah, the Padres just beat the Dodgers a couple times recently.
- 32:24Speaker 6: Two out of three just a week ago. So, honestly,
- 32:28Speaker 6: this sounds totally fucking ridiculous, but I feel like there's only...
- 32:33Speaker 6: I think there's only one team on Earth that has
- 32:35Speaker 6: the chance to beat the Dodgers, and it's the Padres.
- 32:38Speaker 6: I honestly believe that.
- 32:40Speaker 4: It doesn't sound that insane to me.
- 32:44Speaker 6: Well, I mean, I'm obviously a homer, but I've also...
- 32:48Speaker 6: I've watched this rivalry for so long and the Padres
- 32:52Speaker 6: already did it to him like three seasons ago. And
- 32:54Speaker 6: it was, I mean, the odds were incredibly stacked against
- 32:58Speaker 6: them and the Padres pulled it off. So anyways, I
- 33:01Speaker 6: think that since I have the Braves against the Dodgers,
- 33:04Speaker 6: I will say, I still think that the Dodgers win though.
- 33:07Speaker 6: Sorry to our, our chatter there, but look, if you've
- 33:11Speaker 6: watched the Dodgers, they're just fucking awesome. They're an awesome team.
- 33:15Speaker 6: Like they have, I remember they ran a bullpen game
- 33:20Speaker 6: against us in game one of our three-game series last week.
- 33:23Speaker 4: Yeah, and they won that one.
- 33:25Speaker 6: Against King, who's our ace. And they brought in a
- 33:28Speaker 6: new pitcher every inning. And I shit you not, the
- 33:31Speaker 6: ERA of every reliever they brought in for nine innings
- 33:33Speaker 6: straight was 2.5. Every fucking reliever. They had nine relievers
- 33:39Speaker 6: with a 2.5, give or take, ERA. I've never seen
- 33:41Speaker 6: anything like it.
- 33:42Speaker 5: A little weird, though, because the Dodgers bullpen area in
- 33:44Speaker 5: the season is like 3.9, though, so I don't know.
- 33:47Speaker 4: They don't have the best bullpen. I think that's their
- 33:50Speaker 4: weak point is their bullpen.
- 33:52Speaker 6: I was watching the game live, and they just fucking
- 33:54Speaker 6: first inning, 2.5.
- 33:55Speaker 5: Second inning, 2.5. Some of them might have been starting
- 33:59Speaker 5: pitchers that they just moved. They have all these guys
- 34:01Speaker 5: that are starters, but now they're in the bullpen, like Sasaki,
- 34:04Speaker 5: who just goes out there and throws hard.
- 34:06Speaker 4: He'll probably be in there.
- 34:08Speaker 5: He'll be coming out of the bullpen in the playoffs,
- 34:10Speaker 5: and he goes out there and throws really hard for
- 34:12Speaker 5: an inning or two.
- 34:13Speaker 4: So they have guys like that that.
- 34:15Speaker 5: Are kind of starters, but they won't be starters in
- 34:18Speaker 5: the playoffs.
- 34:19Speaker 6: The Dodgers are so overpowered, it's basically the Harlem Globetrotters.
- 34:22Speaker 6: It's fucking retarded.
- 34:25Speaker 4: Yeah. It pisses me off.
- 34:26Speaker 5: It's unfortunate, although all I care about really is the
- 34:30Speaker 5: Yankees losing, pretty much.
- 34:32Speaker 4: I'm going to be honest.
- 34:33Speaker 6: The Dodgers' seventh bat could be a fucking all-star. Yeah.
- 34:38Speaker 6: I fucking hate the Dodgers.
- 34:39Speaker 4: Well, the Dodgers, yeah. Their offense is stacked, too. Yeah, obviously.
- 34:41Speaker 6: I hate the Dodgers so much.
- 34:44Speaker 4: So do I.
- 34:44Speaker 6: So I don't say this with any joy, but I'd
- 34:46Speaker 6: be shocked if they don't defeat the Braves.
- 34:49Speaker 4: I would agree.
- 34:50Speaker 6: And it will be the Braves, because I'm not fucking retarded.
- 34:52Speaker 4: I think it's the Phillies, but yes, I agree. And
- 34:57Speaker 4: then we have... We're going to have... We both have
- 35:00Speaker 4: Padres at Brewers.
- 35:02Speaker 6: Dude, you know, I just... Before we move to that,
- 35:05Speaker 6: I just got to say, I am so disappointed... That
- 35:08Speaker 6: the fucking, that my Padres are so goddamn good that
- 35:11Speaker 6: they kept the D-backs out. Because the D-backs were charging, bro.
- 35:14Speaker 6: They were fucking on fire. They were beating everybody.
- 35:17Speaker 4: They couldn't knock the Phillies out, yeah.
- 35:19Speaker 6: The Phillies were choking so hard, and it came down
- 35:21Speaker 6: to a one-game gap. And they had the tiebreaker, too. And...
- 35:27Speaker 6: I really think that the Diamondbacks deserve to be in
- 35:29Speaker 6: the playoffs. The Phillies have no fucking business being in
- 35:31Speaker 6: the playoffs, and you're picking them to beat the Braves.
- 35:33Speaker 6: You goddamn psychopath.
- 35:34Speaker 5: Phillies pitching is better than the Diamondbacks. Their starting pitching
- 35:37Speaker 5: is definitely better.
- 35:39Speaker 6: Psychopath. All right.
- 35:41Speaker 7: NL.
- 35:43Speaker 6: Yeah, Cubs, Padres. Excuse me. Cubs, Brewers. Padres, Brewers.
- 35:49Speaker 4: No, Padres, Brewers.
- 35:51Speaker 5: We're both knocking the Cubs out immediately, which... That's going
- 35:54Speaker 5: against the public, I think, but you know I like
- 35:56Speaker 5: doing that.
- 35:57Speaker 6: Oh, the public has the Cubs?
- 36:00Speaker 4: Yeah, they like that offense of the Cubs for sure.
- 36:02Speaker 6: Tell them to die.
- 36:06Speaker 4: I am. I always do that.
- 36:10Speaker 6: Brewer's got that Miz kid, right? That fucking 104-mile-per-hour freak.
- 36:13Speaker 5: Yeah, he's an absolute freak, although he is inexperienced, but
- 36:17Speaker 5: he's unbelievable.
- 36:18Speaker 4: He's the best pitcher in baseball.
- 36:20Speaker 6: This is a seven-game series, correct?
- 36:23Speaker 5: No, Divisional Series is five, but it's a 2-2-1 format.
- 36:28Speaker 6: Man, I wish it was fucking seven, dude.
- 36:33Speaker 5: The home team gets the first two and the last
- 36:35Speaker 5: game of the series if necessary.
- 36:36Speaker 6: Yeah, no, I understand. Look, it doesn't really matter what
- 36:42Speaker 6: I say, so I'm just going to pick my Padres
- 36:43Speaker 6: because I want to believe.
- 36:46Speaker 4: I don't think it's that crazy.
- 36:48Speaker 5: I have the Brewers winning this series, but I went
- 36:51Speaker 5: back and forth on it because everybody seems to be
- 36:53Speaker 5: picking the Brewers, and the thing I don't love about
- 36:56Speaker 5: the Brewers is the inexperience.
- 36:57Speaker 4: Their best two starting pitchers are.
- 36:59Speaker 5: Both really, really inexperienced, which is Miz and Logan Henderson,
- 37:03Speaker 5: who's really good, and then if they continue to use
- 37:05Speaker 5: Kyle Harrison, who the Red Sox had for a little
- 37:08Speaker 5: while Harrison was really like really bad down the stretch
- 37:12Speaker 5: though but he's also really young so I don't know
- 37:14Speaker 5: like there are some issues the Brewers the other thing
- 37:16Speaker 5: I don't like is like Tampa Bay the Brewers are
- 37:19Speaker 5: also kind of a small ball team like those two
- 37:21Speaker 5: teams don't hit a lot of home runs which you
- 37:24Speaker 5: know I kind of like that as far as like
- 37:26Speaker 5: strategically it's like oh yeah it's cool but like is
- 37:28Speaker 5: it gonna get you all the way to the World
- 37:31Speaker 5: Series I.
- 37:32Speaker 4: Well, it's just, it's a problem.
- 37:33Speaker 6: It's a problem. If you run into a team that
- 37:35Speaker 6: hits three home runs in a game, it's just a
- 37:36Speaker 6: fucking problem. So, uh, and the Padres are capable of
- 37:39Speaker 6: doing that. So, you know, I think that the Padres
- 37:42Speaker 6: find a way. In fact, I'll even say they take
- 37:44Speaker 6: it in four. They win it at home game four.
- 37:46Speaker 6: They steal one on the road and then they went
- 37:48Speaker 6: on a four. Yep. That's what I'm calling.
- 37:50Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 37:50Speaker 5: I have the Brewers winning it, but I definitely, this
- 37:52Speaker 5: is like the hardest pick. I thought for me, like
- 37:55Speaker 5: this one, I could see going either way.
- 37:57Speaker 6: Like, Oh no, it'll, it'll be, it'll be a challenge.
- 38:00Speaker 6: I think every game will be close.
- 38:02Speaker 4: Yeah. See, I don't hate that Padres pick.
- 38:06Speaker 6: Just to come off, explain a little bit of my homerism.
- 38:10Speaker 6: I think that the bats are alive. I think we
- 38:12Speaker 6: can put up four or five runs a game. And
- 38:14Speaker 6: I think our bullpen is unbelievable.
- 38:18Speaker 4: Milwaukee's bullpen is very good, though, as well.
- 38:20Speaker 6: Yeah, but it ain't fucking Padres, dude. Padres have the
- 38:23Speaker 6: best relievers I've ever seen. And so I think that
- 38:26Speaker 6: as long as you can get four solid out of
- 38:29Speaker 6: your starter... which is not a guarantee with the Padres.
- 38:32Speaker 6: Don't get me wrong. But if you can get four solid, like,
- 38:35Speaker 6: we have five really good arms in the bullpen.
- 38:38Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 38:40Speaker 5: Yeah, you just got to make sure you don't, like,
- 38:41Speaker 5: overwork them, though. You don't want to have to use
- 38:43Speaker 5: that many relief pitchers in every game.
- 38:45Speaker 4: And, yeah. Yeah, all right.
- 38:47Speaker 5: So you have the Padres getting to the NLCS.
- 38:50Speaker 6: I do, because I'm a psycho.
- 38:52Speaker 4: They might.
- 38:53Speaker 6: Well, I'm also just a massive homer, and nobody should
- 38:56Speaker 6: be betting based off what I'm saying. But this is
- 38:58Speaker 6: my honest opinion, so.
- 38:59Speaker 4: All right.
- 39:00Speaker 5: ALCS, I believe you have Cleveland and Tampa in your ALCS,
- 39:04Speaker 5: I believe, right?
- 39:05Speaker 6: Yep.
- 39:07Speaker 4: All right. What's your pick going to be for the AL?
- 39:11Speaker 6: I think Tampa finds a way.
- 39:12Speaker 4: All right.
- 39:14Speaker 5: So, yeah, Tampa, I mean, they will be the home team. And,
- 39:18Speaker 5: of course, the ALCS is when you get into seven-game
- 39:20Speaker 5: series now. So it's a– I think they.
- 39:25Speaker 4: Still do a 2-2-1-1-1, right, format, if I'm not mistaken.
- 39:28Speaker 6: That sounds right but I don't know.
- 39:31Speaker 5: Although in the World Series they might have switched to
- 39:33Speaker 5: 2-3-2 but I forget no maybe I know it I
- 39:36Speaker 5: think it is 2-3-2 now I should remember that because
- 39:39Speaker 5: the fucking Red Sox in 2004 the you know the
- 39:42Speaker 5: series that everybody remembers when they came back 0-3 that
- 39:45Speaker 5: was a 2-3-2 format so yeah never mind I think
- 39:48Speaker 5: it is 2-3-2 but whatever.
- 39:50Speaker 4: Um, all right. So you have Tampa Bay winning that one.
- 39:53Speaker 4: I have the Yankees winning it.
- 39:56Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 39:56Speaker 6: The Yankees going to the world series.
- 39:57Speaker 7: Wow.
- 39:58Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 39:58Speaker 6: Unfortunately, you can get a fucking, uh, a repeat of
- 40:01Speaker 6: 98 Yankees Padres.
- 40:04Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 40:04Speaker 5: Well, I'm thinking it might, it might wind up being
- 40:07Speaker 5: a repeat of a, uh, much more recent world series,
- 40:11Speaker 5: which would be the most disgusting ever. And everybody's going
- 40:13Speaker 5: to fucking hate it, but I kind of think that's,
- 40:15Speaker 5: what's going to happen here.
- 40:16Speaker 4: But yeah. Um, All right, I mean, I don't know
- 40:20Speaker 4: if I have anything else to say about that.
- 40:22Speaker 6: All right, I don't care about the AL. Let's go.
- 40:24Speaker 4: NL, you have Dodgers-Padres in the NLCS.
- 40:29Speaker 6: Yep, and I think that the Dodgers probably take it
- 40:31Speaker 6: in seven.
- 40:32Speaker 5: That would be an interesting series and not a ton
- 40:35Speaker 5: of travel there because you've got two Southern California teams
- 40:38Speaker 5: going against each other.
- 40:39Speaker 2: Yep.
- 40:40Speaker 4: That would be pretty crazy.
- 40:42Speaker 6: Yep, I think that.
- 40:44Speaker 6: And honestly, the only reason I believe that the Padres
- 40:46Speaker 6: can't beat them, other than the fact that they have
- 40:48Speaker 6: a billion-dollar salary and the greatest lineup anybody has ever had, probably,
- 40:55Speaker 6: is because our starting pitching in a seven-game series, I
- 41:00Speaker 6: just don't think that we can get through that. I
- 41:03Speaker 6: just don't.
- 41:05Speaker 4: Yeah, I would agree with that.
- 41:06Speaker 6: Not against that lineup, dude. I feel like they're going
- 41:09Speaker 6: to have at least two games where they just fucking
- 41:11Speaker 6: shellack us with the bats, so. Yes.
- 41:14Speaker 5: I have the Dodgers winning that series as well, but
- 41:16Speaker 5: over the Brewers, although the Brewers, it's interesting because the
- 41:21Speaker 5: Brewers have actually won a lot of their games in
- 41:24Speaker 5: LA recently, like including this year, like the Brewers, I
- 41:27Speaker 5: think they've won like seven of their last eight games
- 41:30Speaker 5: in LA, which is.
- 41:32Speaker 4: Kind of insane.
- 41:33Speaker 5: But I, for whatever reason, I don't think it would
- 41:35Speaker 5: still happen in the playoffs and the Brewers might not
- 41:37Speaker 5: even get there. So Like, I think the Brewers having
- 41:40Speaker 5: a matchup against either San Diego or the Cubs, like,
- 41:42Speaker 5: that's not going to be a definitive Brewers win there,
- 41:45Speaker 5: you know?
- 41:46Speaker 4: So, yeah.
- 41:47Speaker 5: But, yes, I think the Dodgers win this series against
- 41:49Speaker 5: whichever team they wind up getting.
- 41:52Speaker 4: I mean, they're just... Yeah, they're just too stacked.
- 41:54Speaker 6: I think if it's Dodgers-Yankees, the Dodgers are going to
- 41:56Speaker 6: fucking smash them. Honestly, I feel like whoever in the
- 42:01Speaker 6: NL gets there is going to smash.
- 42:05Speaker 7: So.
- 42:06Speaker 5: That means you have the Dodgers winning the third straight
- 42:08Speaker 5: World Series, which I believe has only happened one time ever.
- 42:11Speaker 5: I believe the A's won three World Series in a
- 42:14Speaker 5: row in the late 80s or something.
- 42:16Speaker 4: I think it hasn't happened since then or any other time.
- 42:19Speaker 6: Not a lot of teams have spent a billion dollars
- 42:20Speaker 6: per season on payroll.
- 42:23Speaker 5: No, and the Dodgers, I'll bring up the odds in
- 42:25Speaker 5: a second, but unsurprisingly, they do have the best odds
- 42:28Speaker 5: to win the World Series, although they're an underdog against
- 42:31Speaker 5: the field, but I still have them winning it.
- 42:33Speaker 4: I actually think they're being underpicked, actually.
- 42:36Speaker 6: Yeah, what is it, 2-1 or something?
- 42:39Speaker 4: It is, actually, yeah.
- 42:41Speaker 6: I think that's probably a fair bet.
- 42:47Speaker 4: Yes, Ripple talking about yes.
- 42:49Speaker 5: I agree that arms go far in October, although home
- 42:52Speaker 5: run hitting also does.
- 42:54Speaker 6: Dude, I'm telling you this, though. If, if, if the
- 42:58Speaker 6: Padres had got back Musgrove, I think they could have
- 43:01Speaker 6: fucking beat the Dodgers. I do, man.
- 43:07Speaker 4: I mean, it's baseball. Baseball is close, man.
- 43:10Speaker 6: So it's like, you know, I mean, it's better than
- 43:12Speaker 6: that though. Cause it's, it's a fucking arch rivalry and
- 43:16Speaker 6: there's so many, so many teams that legitimately fear the
- 43:19Speaker 6: Dodgers and the Padres don't, they hate them, but they 100,000%
- 43:24Speaker 6: believe that they can beat them every time they play.
- 43:27Speaker 6: So that's why I give them the best odds of,
- 43:30Speaker 6: If there's any– I stand by this. If anybody's going
- 43:32Speaker 6: to beat the Dodgers, it'll be the Padres. I just
- 43:34Speaker 6: don't think they have the starting pitching to do it.
- 43:38Speaker 4: Yeah. I would– yeah.
- 43:41Speaker 5: I don't really have much of a disagreement with that, yeah.
- 43:44Speaker 5: I mean, I don't think I do, I guess. I mean,
- 43:46Speaker 5: Padres know the Dodgers, so yeah. And they've been competitive
- 43:50Speaker 5: against them.
- 43:51Speaker 6: And the Padres have to win two series that they're
- 43:54Speaker 6: going to be underdogs in both to get to the
- 43:56Speaker 6: Dodgers– to then have a chance to do what I'm saying.
- 43:59Speaker 6: So the odds of us actually getting to see that
- 44:02Speaker 6: play out are slim, but I'm telling you, not only
- 44:06Speaker 6: do I think that I'm right, but I think that
- 44:08Speaker 6: it would be the best series of baseball I've probably
- 44:13Speaker 6: ever seen in my life. These teams fucking, I mean,
- 44:16Speaker 6: it's like.
- 44:16Speaker 4: It's, they hate each other. I kind of want to
- 44:18Speaker 4: see it happen.
- 44:19Speaker 6: It would be great. I mean, just for the game,
- 44:21Speaker 6: it would be great. Fucking Padres Dodgers in the NLCS
- 44:26Speaker 6: would be, Legendary.
- 44:29Speaker 4: Yeah. Hopefully it happens.
- 44:31Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 44:31Speaker 4: I mean, if it happens, I might watch some of
- 44:33Speaker 4: these games. I don't know.
- 44:34Speaker 5: I'm not too interested in watching most of this unless
- 44:37Speaker 5: the Red Sox are involved, but I would not mind
- 44:39Speaker 5: watching the Padres.
- 44:40Speaker 6: Oh, I'm going to be, I'm going to be watching
- 44:41Speaker 6: these games now. Cause especially if you pick the Phillies,
- 44:44Speaker 6: you fucking retard you. I'm going to absolutely watch that series.
- 44:46Speaker 6: And I'm going to text you. I'm going to text you.
- 44:48Speaker 6: I'm going to text you every time the Braves score.
- 44:52Speaker 4: I'm already fucked by the way. So I have the
- 44:53Speaker 4: odds up here.
- 44:55Speaker 5: And in game one, Chris Sale is pitching against Luzardo,
- 44:58Speaker 5: who's only going to pitch for one inning, and the
- 45:00Speaker 5: Braves are a minus 200 favorite in that game.
- 45:04Speaker 4: In game one. The Phillies are going to need to
- 45:07Speaker 4: come back from down 0-1, man.
- 45:08Speaker 6: Yeah, what are the Padres' odds in the first game?
- 45:12Speaker 5: It's going to be King against Boyd. They're a small favorite,
- 45:15Speaker 5: minus 126.
- 45:16Speaker 6: Oh, interesting. But the Cubs are favored, though, you said.
- 45:20Speaker 4: No, no, the Padres are.
- 45:21Speaker 6: No, you said the Cubs were favored for the series.
- 45:24Speaker 4: No, I don't think they are. Let me see.
- 45:26Speaker 6: You said that like 10 minutes ago.
- 45:30Speaker 4: I don't believe I did. Hold on. You did.
- 45:32Speaker 6: You were talking about my Padres. I heard it.
- 45:36Speaker 4: If I did, I misspoke because I'm pretty sure the
- 45:38Speaker 4: Padres are the favorite. Yeah, they are. They're minus 120
- 45:40Speaker 4: to win that series.
- 45:41Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a coin flip though. It's 100, 120.
- 45:44Speaker 5: Yankees are minus 160 in their series against the Red Sox.
- 45:47Speaker 5: Braves are only minus 125 against the Phillies in the series.
- 45:51Speaker 4: What the fuck?
- 45:52Speaker 5: Yeah, even though they have a huge advantage in game one,
- 45:54Speaker 5: I'm telling you, the Phillies will have the starting pitching edge.
- 45:57Speaker 6: In the other games. It's obviously... I told you, it's.
- 46:00Speaker 4: Beyond Chris Sale. The Braves are in trouble.
- 46:03Speaker 6: Yeah, but the reason the Phillies have that good a
- 46:06Speaker 6: chance is because it's only a three-game series, in my opinion.
- 46:10Speaker 5: Yeah, but if it's a three-game series and you immediately
- 46:12Speaker 5: lose to Chris Sale, you have to win both other games.
- 46:15Speaker 6: Yeah, but you got two better starting pitches than the Braves.
- 46:19Speaker 6: They do. I understand the logic. I just feel like
- 46:23Speaker 6: people have not watched the Phillies for the past month.
- 46:25Speaker 6: I have watched a lot of their games for the
- 46:27Speaker 6: past month. They have choked. For people to expect them
- 46:31Speaker 6: to turn it on, they have been fighting for their
- 46:32Speaker 6: fucking lives, trying to stay alive for weeks, and they
- 46:36Speaker 6: have lost constantly.
- 46:40Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 46:40Speaker 4: I'm aware of that, but I think, I think the
- 46:42Speaker 4: playoffs is reset. Yeah. And yes, Houston's.
- 46:46Speaker 5: Minus one 35 against the white socks. These are all
- 46:49Speaker 5: like pretty small prices here in these wildcard series. Then
- 46:53Speaker 5: we have the future odds here where you, like you said,
- 46:55Speaker 5: the Dodgers are two to one brewers have the second best.
- 46:59Speaker 6: I nailed it to the penny.
- 47:00Speaker 4: My God, you should be a book, a bookmaker.
- 47:03Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 47:03Speaker 4: And then the razor eight to one Yankees, eight and
- 47:05Speaker 4: a half to one.
- 47:06Speaker 6: So those are the, Padres, give me 22 hundo for
- 47:10Speaker 6: a hundo.
- 47:10Speaker 4: Let's go. Yeah, Padres, 2,200. Red Sox are plus 1,500,
- 47:13Speaker 4: but that's because the AL sucks.
- 47:15Speaker 6: Yeah, the AL does suck.
- 47:16Speaker 5: The reason why the rest of these teams in the
- 47:18Speaker 5: NL don't have good odds is because they have to
- 47:20Speaker 5: contend with the Dodgers and the Brewers.
- 47:22Speaker 4: That's why.
- 47:23Speaker 6: Makes perfect sense.
- 47:24Speaker 4: Yeah, the NL is just more powerful, man.
- 47:27Speaker 5: And then Cleveland, because the AL sucks so bad, Cleveland's
- 47:30Speaker 5: 12-1 to win the World Series.
- 47:32Speaker 6: Dude, I should throw $ 100, 000 on the Padres. 100 grand?
- 47:38Speaker 4: Oh, shit.
- 47:39Speaker 6: 2.2 mil.
- 47:41Speaker 4: If you do it, you should hedge at least.
- 47:43Speaker 6: 2.2 mil.
- 47:44Speaker 4: You could do it. You could hedge some of it back.
- 47:46Speaker 5: You know, I don't really hate that, to be honest,
- 47:49Speaker 5: even though I don't think they're going to get by
- 47:51Speaker 5: the Dodgers.
- 47:51Speaker 4: But you could.
- 47:52Speaker 6: I would never throw $ 100, 000 on a fucking sports bet.
- 47:55Speaker 4: You could just bet on them to win the series
- 47:57Speaker 4: against the Cubs, maybe. I don't know. No, no, no, no, no.
- 48:01Speaker 6: I'm parlaying all the way to the World Series, motherfucker. Yeah.
- 48:06Speaker 4: Machado's guaranteed to do something gay.
- 48:08Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 48:08Speaker 4: I mean, the Dodgers are a pretty gay team in general,
- 48:11Speaker 4: so I don't know. I don't know, man. Although I've
- 48:16Speaker 4: never been a fan of Machado, to be honest. I
- 48:19Speaker 4: like him. Why not? Because you have to. He's on
- 48:22Speaker 4: your team.
- 48:23Speaker 6: No, that's not true. Oh.
- 48:25Speaker 7: All right.
- 48:25Speaker 4: Well, yeah, you're right. I mean, I hate some people
- 48:27Speaker 4: that are on my own teams. Yeah, exactly.
- 48:31Speaker 6: I like him. He's got good energy about him. Yeah.
- 48:36Speaker 5: And then we have just– let me see. I thought
- 48:39Speaker 5: we had the– yeah, leagues. That's what I wanted to
- 48:42Speaker 5: look at. Yeah, so American League, Tampa's plus 260 to
- 48:45Speaker 5: win the American League. Yankees and Cleveland both not too
- 48:48Speaker 5: far behind that, plus 320 and plus 330. And then
- 48:52Speaker 5: the Dodgers are plus 115 to win the NL. San
- 48:56Speaker 5: Diego 10-1 to win the NL, by the way.
- 48:59Speaker 4: Brewers 3-1.
- 49:00Speaker 6: That's crazy. So you can get 10-1 for them to
- 49:03Speaker 6: beat the Dodgers, but you can get 22 if they
- 49:06Speaker 6: just knock out the fucking Rays in the World Series. Like, oh,
- 49:10Speaker 6: give me that. Give me that extra fucking parlay leg.
- 49:12Speaker 5: I would agree with that because, yeah, in the World
- 49:14Speaker 5: the world series matchup would probably, would be easier than
- 49:17Speaker 5: facing the Dodgers.
- 49:18Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 49:19Speaker 6: By a lot, by a lot. Yeah.
- 49:22Speaker 4: Although, would you be worried.
- 49:23Speaker 5: About like, if they have an intense series against the
- 49:25Speaker 5: Dodgers and win, would you be worried about like them
- 49:27Speaker 5: having a letdown?
- 49:29Speaker 6: I'm a Padres fan. I assume that they're going to
- 49:31Speaker 6: fucking choke and break my heart at some point. And absolutely,
- 49:36Speaker 6: they could have an incredible seven-game victory against the hated
- 49:41Speaker 6: Dodgers and then go and get swept by the fucking
- 49:44Speaker 6: Tampa Bay Rays. I shit you not. That's the type
- 49:46Speaker 6: of shit that the Padres would do to me.
- 49:48Speaker 5: Yeah, well, they were playing the Rays when you were
- 49:51Speaker 5: over here, and I think that series didn't go well,
- 49:55Speaker 5: but I don't know, man.
- 49:56Speaker 4: I just don't think the Rays are... a great playoff team.
- 50:00Speaker 6: Literally, there's not a team in baseball that I fear
- 50:03Speaker 6: other than the Dodgers. And the Dodgers... The Dodgers are
- 50:08Speaker 6: just heavy favorites.
- 50:09Speaker 4: Well, then you could do this.
- 50:10Speaker 5: You could take San Diego plus 400, 4-1 to reach
- 50:14Speaker 5: the NLCS.
- 50:15Speaker 4: That's not that bad.
- 50:17Speaker 6: That's actually interesting. Yeah. Well, look, I'm not saying... I'm
- 50:20Speaker 6: not saying, like, I'm confident that the Padres are going
- 50:23Speaker 6: to make the fucking National League Championship Series. I'm just saying...
- 50:27Speaker 6: I don't fear another team other than the Dodgers. Like
- 50:29Speaker 6: the Dodgers are fucking scary, dude. They could, they could
- 50:31Speaker 6: like just drop 12 on your head, you know, whenever
- 50:34Speaker 6: it's insane.
- 50:36Speaker 4: Yeah, that is, that is true.
- 50:38Speaker 5: So we, unfortunately we both have the Dodgers winning as our,
- 50:42Speaker 5: as our champion pick.
- 50:45Speaker 4: I mean, it's kind of boring, but I mean, they
- 50:47Speaker 4: are the best team.
- 50:47Speaker 5: And I looked at, you know, I do the game
- 50:49Speaker 5: theory thing and I say, how many people are picking
- 50:51Speaker 5: them in ESPN? And it was only like, 27 i
- 50:55Speaker 5: think of people were picking the dodgers and i'm like
- 50:57Speaker 5: well their odds and plus 200 actually suggests like a
- 51:00Speaker 5: 30 something percent.
- 51:02Speaker 4: Probability even if you take out the juice.
- 51:04Speaker 5: So i'm like there's actually like they're actually being underpicked
- 51:08Speaker 5: which is ridiculous to think about but yeah yeah unfortunately
- 51:13Speaker 5: so we we both have the dodgers here on bald
- 51:17Speaker 5: uh i don't know man anything else final thoughts here
- 51:21Speaker 5: on uh.
- 51:22Speaker 4: Baseball or on anything else?
- 51:25Speaker 6: I hope that on one of their flights to the
- 51:29Speaker 6: game against the Braves because the Phillies definitely aren't going
- 51:32Speaker 6: to make it. I hope that Otani just jumps out
- 51:38Speaker 6: of the plane and then the rest of the team
- 51:40Speaker 6: tries to save him and then they all jump out
- 51:41Speaker 6: of the plane after him. And then I hope that
- 51:45Speaker 6: they all land on Madison Beer's fucking house and they
- 51:48Speaker 6: just explode her.
- 51:49Speaker 5: All right, the Sky Divers. That would be after the
- 51:51Speaker 5: Dodgers are already up 2-0.
- 51:53Speaker 6: And then once all of the players have blown up
- 51:54Speaker 6: Madison Beer's house, I hope that their first-class jet goes
- 51:59Speaker 6: right into the Chargers' OC's house.
- 52:02Speaker 4: Yes, that is what you need, yes.
- 52:04Speaker 6: McDaniels.
- 52:06Speaker 5: Yes, Mike McDaniel, whatever, who's known for vaping on the sidelines.
- 52:11Speaker 4: I don't know, man.
- 52:13Speaker 6: I like that about him, but the rest of him.
- 52:15Speaker 4: Yeah, I was going to say, you actually like that
- 52:16Speaker 4: about him, though.
- 52:17Speaker 6: No, that's literally his only redeeming quality.
- 52:19Speaker 4: Oh, okay.
- 52:20Speaker 6: His fucking motion offense fucking son of a fucking bitch.
- 52:25Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 52:26Speaker 6: Honestly, it's not entirely his fault. Our GM sucks fucking
- 52:29Speaker 6: cock for a living. I can't believe that they haven't
- 52:32Speaker 6: got Justin Herbert, an elite wide-out threat. Obviously, I like
- 52:36Speaker 6: our little fucking mini Wes Walker 3.0, but the fact
- 52:41Speaker 6: that we don't have... Like, I can't tell you how
- 52:44Speaker 6: many times.
- 52:45Speaker 4: Lad McConkie, I mean, he's hurt, right? Isn't he hurt?
- 52:48Speaker 6: Yeah, he's hurt, but he's played well for us.
- 52:50Speaker 4: I know, yeah.
- 52:51Speaker 6: I'm just saying, I can't tell you how many times
- 52:54Speaker 6: we've had a third and eight, and Herbert has put
- 52:58Speaker 6: it directly... Like, he couldn't hand it to the wide
- 53:02Speaker 6: receiver any better than he threw it, and they just go, flomp.
- 53:06Speaker 6: They have dropped so many perfect passes. I can't believe
- 53:10Speaker 6: we don't have a fucking good wide receiver for this guy.
- 53:12Speaker 6: Like a big, black, fucking gazelle. They exist. Why do
- 53:18Speaker 6: we have none of them?
- 53:19Speaker 5: You need the next Keenan Allen, and Keenan Allen is
- 53:22Speaker 5: currently technically on my Colts, but he's nowhere because he
- 53:27Speaker 5: had a DUI.
- 53:29Speaker 6: To be clear, no, I do not want a Keenan Allen.
- 53:30Speaker 6: He was never fast. He was never a deep threat.
- 53:33Speaker 6: He was a great route runner, which we've got that
- 53:36Speaker 6: with our little white guy. We need a fucking... like
- 53:39Speaker 6: a deep threat burner. And honestly, McDaniels, he needs, he
- 53:44Speaker 6: needs that. He needs a scat back, you know, out
- 53:46Speaker 6: of the fucking backfield that can run, you know, 4.1 seconds,
- 53:49Speaker 6: zero to 60 or 40 yard dash. And it just,
- 53:53Speaker 6: the GM just fucking failed us. Yeah.
- 53:56Speaker 5: I felt like, wait, who did, who did the charges
- 53:58Speaker 5: draft this year? I felt like they did draft like
- 54:00Speaker 5: a deep threat wide receiver.
- 54:02Speaker 4: Am I wrong about that? Maybe I'm wrong.
- 54:04Speaker 6: Well, Yeah, I think we did get a wide receiver
- 54:06Speaker 6: in the first round, but he hasn't done anything.
- 54:08Speaker 4: That Arizona State guy, right?
- 54:10Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 54:10Speaker 4: I think he might be hurt. I don't know. Let
- 54:14Speaker 4: me see. Chargers depth.
- 54:16Speaker 6: Look, maybe he'll turn into that, but I'm just saying
- 54:17Speaker 6: we don't have one right now, and it's killing us.
- 54:21Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 54:21Speaker 6: Like Herbert, our offensive line was what killed us last season,
- 54:26Speaker 6: and our offensive line is healthy right now, so they've
- 54:28Speaker 6: actually been playing decently and kept Herbert upright. But everyone's like,
- 54:33Speaker 6: You know, Herbert's got to get rid of it. And
- 54:34Speaker 6: you're looking at downfield, and it's like, no one's open. Like, ever.
- 54:38Speaker 6: It's insane. They're all, like, no faster than me. It's atrocious.
- 54:44Speaker 5: Yeah, their wide receiver room right here looks terrible to me.
- 54:49Speaker 4: Yeah, McConkie, Johnson, Valdez, Scantling, Harris, and Davis. Like, I
- 54:54Speaker 4: don't even know who the fuck.
- 54:56Speaker 6: Johnson gets open, and then he drops everything. I'd be
- 54:59Speaker 6: shocked if he doesn't have the most drops in the league.
- 55:01Speaker 6: He's fucking... God-awful.
- 55:04Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
- 55:06Speaker 6: McConkie's great, but game two, he gets his fucking ribs broken.
- 55:11Speaker 6: It's just like, it's hell, dude. It's fucking hell being
- 55:15Speaker 6: a San Diego sports fan. Hell.
- 55:16Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 55:17Speaker 6: Madison Peer, you need to die.
- 55:18Speaker 5: I'm actually surprised. McConkie has actually played in all three games.
- 55:22Speaker 5: I thought he missed something, but I guess not.
- 55:24Speaker 6: No, he played, dude. He played with fucking broken ribs.
- 55:27Speaker 4: It's badass.
- 55:28Speaker 6: I think he broke it in game one, too. It's fucking.
- 55:31Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think so, yeah.
- 55:32Speaker 5: So I thought he wasn't going to play, like, in
- 55:33Speaker 5: game two, but apparently he did anyway. So, yeah, I mean,
- 55:39Speaker 5: that's badass shit.
- 55:40Speaker 4: It's tough shit. A lot tougher than Caleb Williams.
- 55:43Speaker 6: True. Quite a bit.
- 55:45Speaker 4: Writhing in pain with a hamstring pull.
- 55:49Speaker 6: But you never know. I mean, Otani could commit some
- 55:53Speaker 6: seppuku out of their fucking Dodgers private jet, and the
- 55:56Speaker 6: rest of the team could jump after him. And then
- 55:58Speaker 6: it could land on Madison Beers' mansion, and then the
- 56:01Speaker 6: plane could hit our OC, and then the Chargers could
- 56:05Speaker 6: win the Super Bowl. You just never know, right?
- 56:07Speaker 5: The league didn't really hit Otani that hard for his gambling,
- 56:11Speaker 5: although I don't think they should.
- 56:12Speaker 6: I don't think he was gambling. I think it was
- 56:14Speaker 6: his fucking manager.
- 56:15Speaker 4: Oh, is that what it was? Okay, never mind. Maybe
- 56:18Speaker 4: his manager was making bets for him, though.
- 56:21Speaker 6: That's my opinion. I think his manager was stealing money
- 56:23Speaker 6: from him and gambling with it.
- 56:24Speaker 4: Wow, all right. That makes him look better, then. Yeah,
- 56:28Speaker 4: I think that might be true. Yeah. Which I feel
- 56:33Speaker 4: like I'm trying to remember. I felt like that was
- 56:34Speaker 4: happening to some other.
- 56:35Speaker 5: It was I think it was happening to Vince Young, actually,
- 56:39Speaker 5: because I'm like, I just watched a documentary about.
- 56:41Speaker 6: Oh, no, I think I think Vince Young was just
- 56:43Speaker 6: a degenerate gambler, probably. But it's the reason I assume
- 56:46Speaker 6: that is because he's black and Otani's Asian.
- 56:48Speaker 5: So no, I don't think it was like gambling, though.
- 56:50Speaker 5: I think that just like his manager was actually stealing
- 56:52Speaker 5: money from him.
- 56:53Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure.
- 56:54Speaker 6: Oh, well, that happens all the time. Yeah.
- 56:56Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
- 56:57Speaker 6: Especially since black players make their uncles their managers fucking idiots.
- 57:03Speaker 6: That's what happened with Kawhi.
- 57:05Speaker 4: They can't do it with their father though because they
- 57:07Speaker 4: can't find him.
- 57:09Speaker 6: Well, yeah. Exactly. Their father figures their uncle and they
- 57:13Speaker 6: immediately take their signing payment and they blow it on hookers.
- 57:19Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. All right, man.
- 57:23Speaker 6: Rest in peace, Madison Beer. Sorry. Yes.
- 57:26Speaker 4: She needs to go away.
- 57:27Speaker 5: Like I said, it's like the same thing that happened
- 57:29Speaker 5: to Tony Romo with Jessica Simpson or whatever, if I
- 57:32Speaker 5: remember correctly.
- 57:33Speaker 4: That's what's happening to Herbert.
- 57:34Speaker 5: But with Romo, it was worse because Simpson isn't as
- 57:37Speaker 5: hot as Madison Beer.
- 57:40Speaker 6: Oh, dude, she's so hot. Every time they show her
- 57:42Speaker 6: in the fucking box, I'm like, oh, we're going to lose.
- 57:46Speaker 6: As soon as I see her, I'm like, no wonder
- 57:48Speaker 6: this kid can't play football anymore. He's just like, can
- 57:50Speaker 6: we just go home? I just want to go home.
- 57:52Speaker 4: Can they just ban her from the games or something?
- 57:55Speaker 6: Yeah. honestly, he needs to like, I think he should
- 58:00Speaker 6: only be able to see her on Tuesdays. That's it.
- 58:02Speaker 6: And the rest of the time she's.
- 58:03Speaker 4: Like, whatever day they have off.
- 58:04Speaker 6: She's in house arrest, dude. Like you can't, you can't
- 58:07Speaker 6: keep sucking the life out of this guy. He is
- 58:10Speaker 6: our great hope. So you've got to stop Madison. I
- 58:12Speaker 6: don't want to wish death upon you, but I swear
- 58:14Speaker 6: to God, I will put you in a fucking trebuchet.
- 58:17Speaker 6: And then I will have, I will have, I always,
- 58:22Speaker 6: because McDaniels, I'll have McDaniels on the other side and
- 58:25Speaker 6: you guys will meet. Right over the Chargers logo, and
- 58:27Speaker 6: you will explode. And I don't want that to happen
- 58:29Speaker 6: to you. So you've got to only see Justin on Tuesdays.
- 58:34Speaker 6: I feel like this is a reasonable request. I don't
- 58:35Speaker 6: even think I'm being irrational here.
- 58:37Speaker 5: Maybe there's a better solution to this. McDaniel should fuck
- 58:42Speaker 5: Madison Beer, so then Justin Herbert will dump her, and
- 58:45Speaker 5: McDaniel will get fired by the league or whatever for
- 58:48Speaker 5: some sort of impropriety. And then that takes care of
- 58:50Speaker 5: both problems for you.
- 58:52Speaker 2: Sure.
- 58:52Speaker 6: Or you could just get two trebuchets.
- 58:53Speaker 4: And it involves less violence. I'm a peaceful solution.
- 58:58Speaker 6: I don't see why you're opposed to the trebuchets idea, but,
- 59:00Speaker 6: you know, we should do whatever we got to do, though.
- 59:02Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 59:03Speaker 6: Whatever.
- 59:03Speaker 4: I don't know. I'm just trying to be a pacifist here.
- 59:06Speaker 4: Maybe I shouldn't be.
- 59:07Speaker 5: Yep.
- 59:10Speaker 4: Thank you guys for watching. Yes.
- 59:12Speaker 6: Thanks, everybody. How many people watched? Eight?
- 59:15Speaker 5: We got up to, I think, about 50-something was the
- 59:18Speaker 5: top live.
- 59:19Speaker 4: Oh, look at us. Last time you were on, we
- 59:21Speaker 4: had in the hundreds.
- 59:23Speaker 6: Well, that's because I retweeted the feed.
- 59:25Speaker 4: Oh, well, thank you.
- 59:27Speaker 5: Or not thank you for not doing it this time.
- 59:32Speaker 4: I mean, fuck you for not doing it this time
- 59:34Speaker 4: is what I meant to say.
- 59:39Speaker 6: Well, I hope you guys enjoyed it. What are the
- 59:41Speaker 6: commenters saying? What are they saying? Do they enjoy it?
- 59:44Speaker 6: Do they agree? Do they disagree? I don't know.
- 59:46Speaker 5: We haven't had one since that last one that I
- 59:47Speaker 5: brought up with Ripple Stiltskin who was talking about Machado
- 59:50Speaker 5: being gay.
- 59:50Speaker 6: All these people just went to sleep. They don't even care.
- 59:52Speaker 4: What we're saying.
- 59:53Speaker 5: As soon as midnight hits, yeah. I have an old audience.
- 59:57Speaker 5: They all just go to sleep. Yeah, all these boomers
- 59:59Speaker 5: in my audience.
