World Series Preview · The 3-0 Take

0:00
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Three O Take where we talk
0:04
all things Major League Baseball.
0:06
Here's Kyle Corwin and Nate Reyes.
0:10
It all starts right now. Oh, welcome back to the Three O
0:17
Take presented by Chinook. Cedry, this is episode 578.
0:21
I'll be your host, Kyle Corwin. I'm here with my Co host Nate
0:25
Reyes. Nate.
0:33
Casey, how are we, Guy? You have no.
0:35
Idea who I'm pulling for based on my current attire.
0:38
I, I, I never know, intentionally planned it that
0:42
way? That was my backdrop color.
0:44
Don't know. It's like wires.
0:49
Where's my MLB hat? Shout out Rob Lowe.
0:55
No, that was NFL. Just kidding.
0:59
No, he did it. Did he do it?
1:00
He did MLB too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:04
Man, what a what a game. And honestly, I could be talking
1:11
about game four of the NLCS or game seven of the ALCS.
1:15
And you would also never know, never know.
1:19
But to be fair, Game 4 you know, I mean, you know, you know, but
1:24
to be fair, it's been what feels like the better part of two to
1:28
three weeks since the NLCS wrapped up, if we're being
1:30
honest. So I don't even really know if
1:34
there's much to I mean, we can talk about it, no doubt, but I
1:37
think the real the real point of discussion, real topic, real
1:43
meat and potatoes is going to be this this ALCS.
1:46
What a what a series. Did you have this going?
1:49
7 Own it, say it. Stay with your chest.
1:56
I'm trying to remember. I don't know.
1:58
I really don't know. You're just going along with it.
2:03
I think you had them going 7. Dude, let's shit.
2:10
We're we're going to roll with it.
2:11
You've had them going seven. I've got the receipt right here.
2:18
Yep, got it right here. You had them going 7.
2:21
Great call on your part, by the way.
2:23
Fantastic foresight, but man, this was such, this was such a
2:30
good series. And I the the last couple games
2:33
I was thinking about what I had said in our last LCS check in
2:39
when I was talking about the swings in momentum and how it
2:43
wasn't just like a, you know, blow for blow.
2:45
It was like 2 games this side, two games this side and he just
2:49
felt like it was going to it. It was just going to continue to
2:54
swing back and forth because of the way that they were they were
2:57
going at it. And I mean this was I don't know
3:02
if you could have asked for a better well, depending on which
3:05
side of the ball you're on, obviously, but I don't think you
3:07
could have asked for a better finish to to at least one
3:11
competitive series that we've seen this post season.
3:14
Yeah, that. Just trying to like absorb it
3:20
all good, good ball all around. I think I'm impressed by the
3:30
Mariners because it felt like they were kind of coming into
3:33
like a straight up buzz saw, you know?
3:38
But it feels like a like a whole different series ago that they
3:45
went up 2O in this series. Like it doesn't even feel like
3:49
the same series, doesn't feel like the same team.
3:54
On that, on that point, I just saw a tweet which I, I honestly
3:59
just didn't sit right with my soul, if I'm being honest.
4:02
I saw the Jays quote tweeted the Mariners tweet after the
4:09
Mariners went up two games to none in Toronto and they quoted
4:13
Drake. And the the caption was the
4:15
Mariners in their original tweet had quoted Drake.
4:18
And I was like, hold on, we're going home.
4:20
And then the Jays quote tweeted it after the win tonight to seal
4:23
the deal to punch their ticket. And they were like, correct.
4:28
And I'm like couple things. There's no need for that.
4:33
There was no need for that digging up.
4:35
Receipts for too long. It's kind of annoying.
4:37
Well, it's not just that, but I'm like this.
4:39
Can we just not have a good, like there was no bad blood
4:42
here, at least from what I saw. I I didn't see any any, any
4:45
bulletin board material. So I'm like that that kind of
4:48
felt off you, but you know, good for holding a receipt, I guess.
4:51
But second of all, going back to your point, I, I had to sit
4:57
there and, and get some context clues as to what they what the
5:01
Blue Jays were quoting. And it was the the tweet after
5:04
the Mariners went up two games to none.
5:05
I'm like that felt like a month ago.
5:07
Yeah, it's not even that good of a slam either.
5:11
Yeah, I had. I don't know.
5:13
A lot of things wrong with that tweet, but yeah, to your point,
5:15
it, it's just really both, both sides of the LCS.
5:20
It's the, the my sense of time is so far skewed.
5:25
I I don't. Know is it almost Christmas
5:27
time? I'm not sure where.
5:29
There are Christmas lights up in our neighborhood.
5:32
We were commenting on that on that this past weekend.
5:35
That's wild. It's getting earlier and
5:37
earlier. It's it's you.
5:38
Can't go pre Halloween. You can because they are.
5:44
It's almost got to say something.
5:46
Well, we may be. We might join them.
5:48
I jury still up. We don't know TBD.
5:54
You're going to put up lights. Have you put up lights?
6:01
Come on. Can we put up lights?
6:06
Well, I would it probably make more sense to put up lights
6:09
instead of the full, you know, the the couple trees in the
6:13
house, wouldn't it? That the lights seems a little
6:15
bit more Christmas light as opposed to the full.
6:22
Do you get what I mean? If you, if you commit, if you go
6:24
full trees and decorations, that's.
6:26
That's the whole shebang. Yeah, I think the only way
6:32
you're allowed to do it right now is that if you have those
6:34
people that put up like the year round lights and then you can
6:38
change the colors with the remote.
6:40
But if if you have lights up every day, then you have lights
6:43
up no days, you know, it's kind of just.
6:46
You're not wrong. You're not wrong.
6:48
I mean, I think it's just like a different tax bracket that's
6:53
doing that, you know? One that I am, I am not a part
6:57
of you. Got orange in here.
7:01
Some orange kind of looks like Peach.
7:03
Why are you going orange? What's the orange we?
7:05
Were going Halloween. I thought we were talking
7:07
Halloween. We were definitely talking
7:09
Christmas, but anyways, even before that we were talking
7:12
baseball. Yeah, I I couldn't tell you what
7:18
day it is, but it it begs a bigger question.
7:27
Well, I guess we could save it. I was going to say, now that the
7:31
Mariners are out, where where does this leave us?
7:36
Who we pulling for? We don't have to now.
7:40
Let's save it. I don't want to jump the gun too
7:41
much, but I did. I did want to spend 7 minutes
7:44
into this thing. I know.
7:47
What are your predictions? Give me your pick, Give me your
7:52
pick. Give me your MVP.
7:53
Let's get out of here. Let's get it going.
7:58
I really thought my guy George Springer was was going to bring
8:03
this thing home. And by this thing, I mean the
8:05
MVP after after game one and then certainly after his his
8:13
moment tonight in Game 7. But with the with the postseason
8:16
that Vladi put up it just it made sense that I mean, who
8:19
else, who else but Vladi? But.
8:24
That's a big moment, man. Like that's a, that's a
8:32
franchise moment. I mean, that's not just like
8:35
this year. That's like a franchise moment.
8:38
Biggest franchise moment since Joe Carter, without a doubt.
8:42
I mean, there's, there's no close #2 really, even, I mean,
8:47
this is, it's, it's this since Joe Carter.
8:52
It's a big enough moment that like, if George Springer
8:54
finishes out in some way, I don't think he ever would.
8:57
But like somebody, somebody made it into the Hall of Fame.
9:01
It's like you might be wearing a Blue Jays hat.
9:05
That's. A take it's.
9:07
It's sneaking up on that. How long has he been with the
9:11
Jays? Hasn't been that long, but then
9:18
again time time makes is isn't. I've given 5.
9:24
Years I don't. I don't understand the concept
9:27
of time at this point in the year and that happens every year
9:30
so I could be could be way off. Wow.
9:36
This. Is his fifth year as a Blue Jay,
9:37
Yeah. Wow.
9:41
Seven with Houston, five with five with the Jays.
9:44
Pretty. Much down the middle big.
9:50
Moment huge. Did you?
9:53
Did you think he was going to do it before the like as the bat
9:56
was building? Did you think he was going to do
9:58
it? I.
9:58
Mean, I, I there's like this weird just in the back of your
10:02
mind that like the Blue Jays would, would figure it out.
10:06
Like I, I, I felt that way the whole time Mama Reyes was
10:13
texting me and she was like, she's going to Seattle for work
10:18
in a couple weeks. So she was texting me and she
10:21
was like, I'll be there from like the second to like the
10:23
15th. Am I going to get to see a World
10:25
Series game if they make it? I was like, no Ma like Game 7 if
10:29
they go 7 would be done on the 1st.
10:32
She's like, oh, that's too bad. She loves Seattle.
10:35
She was like, you think they can pull this out?
10:38
And it was in the I think the 5th.
10:41
And I was like, if Wu can get through 7 through 7, they got a
10:48
shot and sure enough, lead off walk in the seventh, another
10:54
knock. And then it was just like, it
10:58
just it didn't feel good. He felt it kind of moving that
11:01
way anyway. And I didn't know how that
11:04
moment was going to be. George Springer is just, it's
11:12
just it's no longer at this like point of coincidence.
11:15
Like the guy just performs. He's he's an all timer in the
11:20
postseason. An all timer.
11:24
Literally one of the best. Like that's not hyperbole.
11:26
He no. Like he is one of the greatest
11:30
to do it's unreal in October and like that's it's every post
11:34
season you just solidifies it more and more.
11:39
I still think he needs to buzz the Dome.
11:42
It's getting. Worse, like every week, yeah.
11:46
Are you talking about after the game when he was trying on the
11:49
World Series hat? Yeah, yeah, I.
11:52
Saw it, I saw a video. Of him on on Instagram, he was
11:56
getting a haircut. He's like getting a fade and the
12:00
comments were just not good dude.
12:03
All right, we'll focus in on the positive here. 23 post season
12:08
career home runs for George Springer.
12:10
That's top five all time, and then we'll be history.
12:16
It's nuts, dude. It's unbelievable. 3rd tied for
12:20
third with Kyle Schwarber and is behind only Manny Ramirez and
12:26
Jose Altuve. Manny has 29.
12:29
Altuve has 27. For what most.
12:37
Career post season homers? Really.
12:43
What's not competing? Just crazy.
12:52
I don't. I don't think I would have
12:53
guessed that. Top three.
12:54
Top three. Yeah, yeah.
12:56
I mean, Altuve, just because you, I feel like the recency
13:00
plays into a little bit. But Manny, yeah, Manny was Manny
13:05
was that dude. Yeah, when it came time to
13:07
clutch up. Oh man, I'm kind of shell
13:12
shocked honestly. It is just a.
13:19
We're we're going on 2-3 months of just really impressive
13:29
offense, one through 9 and you've like everyone's just
13:36
like, when is he going to fade? When's he going to fade?
13:38
And it never has. It has stopped, you know.
13:42
It got we're talking Jace, I'm assuming.
13:44
Yeah. You know what guy that I'm I'm
13:47
really starting to like is Addison Barger Dude, that guy
13:50
can put a charge into a baseball.
13:52
There was a he had a couple. I mean, he had, I mean plenty of
13:56
hard hit balls this series, but specifically the night he he he
14:03
stroked a couple, one of the one of which was out or it was a
14:09
line out to Naylor first. But I'm like that ball was like
14:13
200 off the bat. Same with.
14:15
That Vladdy one that hit the left, by the way, Yeah, it's
14:19
like that. Went through it, almost went
14:20
through Randy's web. Like that was insane.
14:24
Knocked him back. But yeah.
14:25
Man, this is, I mean, if if you're if you're talking about a
14:30
Dodger's rotation that is looking absolutely disgusting
14:35
right now. And, and we'll get into that a
14:36
little bit, but I mean, this is, this is what you would hope for
14:44
if you're a Blue Jays fan, for your, for your offense be
14:47
clicking the way that they are right now.
14:49
Because that that's, I hate to say it, that's kind of your only
14:53
hope right now. Like, that's what you that you
14:54
have to lean on this offense because if you do end up winning
14:59
your first World Series since 1993, it's going to be without a
15:04
doubt, without question because of your offense, yeah.
15:09
Pitching is just just get through, just get it done
15:13
somehow, some way, and there's no disrespect on that.
15:17
Like, truly. I was just about to say, yeah,
15:19
it's, it's not a knock, but I don't.
15:22
Think anyone saw their pitching coming in being like, oh, that's
15:27
the that's what, That's the why. Like no, just different man
15:32
doing it all different ways. And and I mentioned this, you
15:36
know, going into the postseason and specifically coming into the
15:41
CS is and I used the Brewers with reference of this too, is
15:46
that it's just like this is the way baseball should be played.
15:51
It's it's the occasional home run.
15:57
And don't get me wrong, they're bludgeoning teams during certain
15:59
games. Sure, with plenty of pop, but
16:03
like there, there's just, it's a relentlessness.
16:06
It's a just keep the game within reach, keep the game within
16:10
reason. Gosman did that by coming in, by
16:14
the way, and just keeping the game at Bay, keeping, you know,
16:19
giving them a shot. And those moments are going to
16:22
happen. There's just need a couple guys
16:24
on and this thing gets flipped. It felt like it felt like a walk
16:30
off it as much as like it just felt like it was done, like
16:33
there was nothing that was going to happen after that.
16:40
Yeah. It it almost like, yeah, I mean,
16:44
if you think of the Mariners as as like a balloon building in
16:49
that game. Yeah, you're.
16:51
Thinking it's only going to take like it if if they can find a
16:56
way to push, if the Jays can find a way to push across three
17:00
runs and take the lead here, you may as well put a pin to them
17:03
because they're you, they're so they they were talking about on
17:06
the broadcast a lot. There's so much anxiety, there's
17:09
so much stress. And there's a lot of that.
17:12
I know Smoltz drove home the point about managers aging in
17:17
those in those home stretch innings in a Game 7, which I
17:21
mean, valid point. But there's just so much riding
17:25
on every single pitch that when something like that happens that
17:30
late in the game, you, you just, it would take something very,
17:34
very special, something magical to to bounce back from in a
17:39
situation like that. And I just think the magic ran
17:41
out for the Mariners. They kept showing stats of like
17:45
the seven, 8-9 in the lineup. That was just horrendous.
17:49
Did nothing, did absolutely nothing meet the lineup turnover
17:55
the whole series. I think it's impressive they
18:01
made it this far, but this is kind of the whole story with
18:03
them, right Was it was like you don't have the lineup and
18:10
without a record-breaking unworldly season from Cal
18:16
Raleigh, you got to wonder. It's like it's kind of similar
18:21
like the Yankees last year, right?
18:22
Like it the Judge Soto thing. But like if you can keep that at
18:26
Bay, there's really nothing else going on.
18:30
Kind of felt that way. I mean, J Rod did solid, you
18:34
know, moving him to the lead off spot, you know, the the quick
18:39
double out the gates the for this this game 7A solid.
18:43
Pick for MVP, by the way, he I mean, I thought he put up a
18:46
pretty good performance couple down games, but he had his
18:49
moments yeah, it's. Just not it wasn't deep enough.
18:55
Naylor did well. I think he hit over 400 during
18:57
the series. Like did his thing.
19:00
I know Gino had that one like, ridiculous game, but yeah, just
19:05
kind of lacked depth. It's too bad.
19:12
I thought Woo was going to be. It was giving me Valdi vibes
19:16
where it's just like, oh, haven't seen you in a minute,
19:20
you're back out. You're very much an ace, by the
19:23
way. But yeah.
19:27
And not not the greatest performances, but big names like
19:31
Logan Gilbert was a disappointment this series, Like
19:35
he was a bummer. And you, I mean, you flashback
19:39
even maybe even to the to spring training or last year, you're
19:44
like, that's the bona fide guy, That's the horse, that's the one
19:48
leading this staff. And he just didn't, he didn't
19:53
bring it. I feel like they lost this one.
19:59
They had it and they lost it. I would, I would love to know.
20:03
I mean, there's, I'm sure there's like a simulation you
20:06
could run, but I would love to know how this this Mariner
20:14
season would have gone if you took Cal Raleigh out of the
20:18
equation and just plugged in league average on both sides of
20:22
the ball. Not and and and I'm not saying
20:26
that to discredit anything that the rest of the team did,
20:30
because obviously you, you, one guy, a singular player cannot
20:35
carry a team to game seven of the LCS.
20:38
It's just not you. You can't do that.
20:40
There has to be contributions from other other facets of the
20:43
roster. But I'm just I would be curious
20:46
to see because he did. He also had his moments in his
20:48
postseason as well, but more more so alluding to the regular
20:55
season and like would this Mariners team or maybe not would
21:01
they be in the postseason, but would they?
21:06
I don't know would like how differently this year would have
21:10
gone is really what I would. I would love to know and you
21:12
obviously won't know that, but it's it's because I just I was
21:17
thinking back to what you said, like outside of his an
21:20
absolutely historic year from him, it's like the lineup did
21:26
seem to just lack at times. It wasn't it or it it lacked
21:30
consistency, I should say. I can't.
21:41
You mean you got to assume that they're going to be, they're
21:43
going to be going in in the offseason because Gino was a
21:48
rental. Was was Naylor a rental?
21:51
I think Naylor was a rental, too.
21:54
Yeah. And we're talking.
21:56
Yeah, that sounds right. We're talking 3-4 in the lineup,
22:00
you know, corners of the infield, I think.
22:06
Yeah, Logan. Gilbert's 26.
22:07
Logan. Gilbert's locked down, I think
22:10
Brian Wu is still in our beers, isn't he?
22:17
I mean, not that we need to do like a season wrap up for the
22:20
Mariners at this moment, but why?
22:22
Because that's the story though. Like, that's the story of like.
22:25
But what? Makes you think they're going to
22:26
go in because we just saw and we don't need to talk Brewers, but
22:29
we just saw that the Brewers are already floating Freddy Peralta
22:33
out there. So it's like, why do we, why do
22:35
we just assume that the Mariners who were like similar
22:39
specifically? Around their rotation, like
22:41
that's what I specifically had in mind was their rotation and
22:46
how many guys are like secured. You know, if you keep those main
22:52
3, then Logan Gilbert, Brian Wu and George Kirby who look great
22:57
tonight by the way, very solid start.
23:01
I feel like you kind of have to run it back a little bit and
23:06
some a little fresh, some a little new and like a full
23:10
season of, I mean, I don't even know what third baseman, not
23:17
that Gino, I mean, he just, he didn't really perform as a
23:19
Mariner, but like somebody who's really good on both sides of the
23:23
ball. I don't know who's out there.
23:30
I mean, they're not. Going to be in the Bregman hunt,
23:35
you know? Like an Alec Bohm.
23:36
I don't, I don't know. I don't know.
23:39
Yeah, not that. Yeah, we we don't need the.
23:42
It's just interesting to to see and it's a good year.
23:50
It's a good. Year.
23:51
It's gut wrenching. I'm not even a Mariner fan and I
23:53
can feel like that's that's tough.
23:56
Yeah, I think. However this Game 7 went, it was
24:00
going to be a broken hearted fan base.
24:03
Yeah, and I, it was just a weird feeling afterwards because it's,
24:11
I don't know, going back to what I was saying about that tweet,
24:13
just not sitting right. I'm just like, I don't it this
24:16
was just a good series of baseball and it feels weird to
24:19
me to be taken. And I'm not saying that the Jays
24:23
were necessarily like dance on the grave, but it it I just
24:27
don't feel like this series warrants that from from either
24:31
side, like any sort of, you know, bad.
24:33
Blood. There's no beef.
24:35
There's no beef it and like you were saying it, it just it was
24:40
going to be heartbreaking one way or another.
24:42
And as a fan, as fans who don't particularly have a dog in the
24:46
fight, it I don't it was weird. It's like, OK, I mean, this is
24:50
cool for the Jays, cool for, you know, Toronto, Canada, whatever,
24:54
all the provinces, whatever. But like, it sucks for the
25:02
Mariners, man to get this close, to get this close.
25:08
We're not talking about your first appearance in, you know,
25:11
like we're talking with the Jays since 9330, something years.
25:16
Like we're we're talking about trying to get there for the
25:20
first time ever. And to get one, you are
25:25
literally what, 3 innings away you were leading with three
25:32
innings ago? Is that correct?
25:36
Yeah, it was in the 7th. No outs, Yeah.
25:39
So you were leaving with three innings to go?
25:45
Is there a bunt involved before George Springer?
25:49
No, I thought it was a walk. Was it two walks?
25:53
I thought. Because I thought he did it on
25:54
when runners on, no. 3rd. Were they 1st and 2nd?
26:04
Oh yeah, it was. Was it?
26:05
Jimenez laid down a bunt there. It is.
26:08
That's. Yeah, yeah.
26:08
Sorry, I was thinking of another inning.
26:10
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, that was the first
26:14
out of the 7th when that Jimenez Bunt happened.
26:18
That's right there. That's what I was talking about
26:20
with like, that's gut. Wrenching man.
26:24
It's tough to, like, criticize because like, if I'm going to
26:30
lose, I'm. I don't mind losing.
26:34
I know Wu was the one that gave it up, but like, you know, a
26:36
couple of those runners were his.
26:40
You can't criticize losing with that, with your dude.
26:43
You know, that's how I would want to go out.
26:45
But who was it? Bizardo.
26:49
Bizardo. Yeah.
26:54
Tough man. Then Hoffman's figured out on
26:58
the other side, too. Like he's just that.
27:01
Was I mean, I get you have to go Hoffman there like you'd that
27:04
that decision is kind of made-up on its own.
27:07
But he had thrown, I think they said 32 pitches the night
27:11
before, which was the most I think they said in years for
27:16
him. I.
27:17
I think the amount of adrenaline, no.
27:19
Doubt. No doubt.
27:20
I don't think it. Mattered but but I'm just like
27:22
a. One run lead, that's three days
27:24
off now. Yeah.
27:27
I mean, that's, yeah, Shadow Louis Varlin, though, a, a, a
27:30
name that I don't feel like is going to get the the creditor
27:34
love he deserves. He's.
27:36
They've been, they played what, 11 games and he pitched in 10 of
27:40
them or 11:00 and 12:00 or whatever.
27:44
The one fewer than they've played.
27:46
He's he's he's had the appearances so good on good on
27:50
him. One of the unsung heroes.
27:55
But yeah, man, just a crazy, crazy way to end this series of
28:01
for the sake of, no, I don't want to say like speeding this,
28:06
like moving this process along, but for the sake of trying to
28:10
get some sort of traction on where we're at in the month of
28:13
October, I'm kind of glad to see the LCS stage is over now 'cause
28:17
I'm like, OK, now we're at the World Series, 'cause it, like we
28:20
said there for a while, there for a while, I was just like,
28:22
what? What day is it?
28:24
What, what game are we in? However, on the flip side, you
28:29
hate to see a series like this, and I mean this.
28:31
This was it was a great. Series man it way better than
28:35
then I'll see us for obvious reasons and just two teams that
28:41
are like that fun to watch all year and I think play the game
28:46
in a refreshing way. So tough, still got wrenching
28:58
you. Mentioned the NLCS.
28:59
Let's let's kind of put a a bow on that.
29:04
Again. It's been what feels like the
29:06
better part of a month since that wrapped up, but we have yet
29:09
to talk since what I think we can safely say is the greatest
29:18
individual performance on a baseball field ever.
29:24
Yeah, dude, I. Mean it's never been done I I
29:28
don't know how how you can have a performance like Shohei Otani
29:32
did and then followed up with Oh yeah this has never been done
29:38
and then turn around and not say that it's the greatest
29:40
individual performance of all time I.
29:42
Saw this because we always do it the other way, but I saw this
29:45
post that was like put it in football terms and the first
29:49
like top comment was like like throwing like a quarterback
29:56
throws for five tutties and then is also like playing lockdown
30:02
corner defense with two interception.
30:04
Like it's like, yeah, there's that you would never see.
30:09
Yeah. There was a comment on our face
30:10
on one of our Facebook posts and it was some some one of our
30:14
followers, whatever was like, yeah, it's like Tom Brady
30:17
throwing for three touchdowns or like 4 touchdowns and then goes
30:22
and records like 3 sacks. It's like, yeah, I just.
30:28
That doesn't happen. I.
30:29
Can't. I can't fathom what that would
30:33
look like, but we're seeing it in in the game of baseball, so
30:40
it's unreal. It's like crazy.
30:42
Brother like I don't know how else to.
30:44
Say it like it's. Wild.
30:46
I know, I know people love using that, that that tweet line where
30:52
it's like the Earth's been around for 3 billion years or
30:57
whatever and we've, we're living the same time.
31:00
Fill in the blank. But like, genuinely, it is kind
31:02
of wild when you think about the fact that, you know, forget 3
31:07
1/2 billion years or whatever just thinking about the duration
31:11
of the sport of baseball. Like.
31:15
It's, it's been around a long time, not 3 1/2 billion years,
31:18
but it's been around a long time.
31:20
And we are fortunate enough that we are living this at the same
31:25
time getting to watch Shohei Otani do what he does.
31:30
It's, it's kind of wild, I mean. They were, we were talking in a
31:34
group chat, like they were talking about it on game day on
31:36
Saturday. College football, like that's
31:43
that is a feat in itself. By the way, if you can get
31:48
football dominant coverage to mention baseball, yeah.
31:52
You know, in late October, Yeah, if you can crack the full.
31:57
Swing of this too, dude, yeah. If you can crack the topic, the
32:01
rundown on a on a Saturday, come on.
32:06
He's just, he's incredible. It is, it is crazy.
32:10
I How do you feel about the MVP, by the way?
32:13
Because I mean, it has to be real.
32:15
That was it. That was it was that one game.
32:18
No doubt he was did did nothing else.
32:21
I saw. Hold on, I got the note here.
32:28
Entered game 4, which obviously was the last game of the series.
32:31
Entered game four with three hits and 14 strikeouts and 29
32:34
ABS over his, well over his previous seven games.
32:38
So not necessarily relevant to the MVP conversation, but just
32:41
speaks more so to where he was at offensively coming into game
32:45
4. So to have the game that he did
32:49
and then win the MVPI well, truth, truthfully, I didn't look
32:56
at the rest of the line UPS output.
32:59
So I'd I don't know, I mean you could you not mix in one of the
33:05
arms like glass now, Snell, Yamoto, they've all been
33:11
disgusting. I they another note I I pulled
33:15
for them those three names Snell, Yamamoto and glass now or
33:21
no excuse me and Ohtani on the bump have combined for a .63
33:26
ERA. And if you want to look even
33:29
bigger, 10 game ten playoff games that are combined in nine
33:33
and one with A14 0ERA. So I mean, I mean, does does the
33:41
greatest game of all time get you the MVP for an LCS?
33:46
It's hard to argue that. But at the same time, I I'm not
33:50
in any sense going to ridicule the people that are like this is
33:57
great. Like this is this is MLB just
34:00
pushing their Golden Boy a lot Like I, I, I get it.
34:03
I get. Both sides from the MVP.
34:05
Standing. How can?
34:08
You not glaze, look at what bro just did.
34:13
Clip that look. Sure.
34:16
I get tired of it too. It gets old.
34:19
I get it. I don't know.
34:24
I feel like any time you're doing something that we've never
34:27
seen before in in this time of year, it deserves the praise.
34:34
Now, I agree with you. I don't think you should have
34:36
won MVP. I don't know who else it would
34:38
have gone to. You bring up a good point.
34:40
The other arms, I think Ray in our group chat said that Mookie
34:43
probably should have won it. I don't really know to be honest
34:49
with you. That series sucked.
34:51
I wasn't that locked in on it. It I would just check in on the
34:56
score occasionally and just be like, yeah, that that's on brand
35:00
and move, move right along. So now here we are.
35:07
I would. Be curious, I don't know who to
35:08
root for. Well we'll get into that just a
35:11
minute, but I would be curious if that series say the series
35:14
had gone like 6 games and Otani carried his offensive woes into
35:20
Game 6 has that same game that he had in game 4IN Game 6 so his
35:26
numbers look even worse on the. Whole in the in the series.
35:32
It's like hit those those counting numbers for the series
35:36
would be even worse. I feel like at that point you'd
35:40
have no choice but to give it to somebody else.
35:43
But because it was such a small sample size, it's like 1 game
35:47
puts up 3 jacks. Yeah.
35:50
And I, if you, you could argue that like space that out over
35:54
the over the series and you're like, yeah, MVP, you know, if he
35:59
had, if he space those 3 homers out and still had one of those
36:03
starts. Yeah.
36:06
So, I mean, it's hard to say it's.
36:08
Like it is what it is. I don't I.
36:09
I guess it makes sense, but it's I think.
36:12
It's just like the expectations that we have of like, EW, you
36:17
can't strike out 14 times. Like we forget that he's human
36:21
and then all of a sudden he does this.
36:24
I'll still die on this hill. The tough face doesn't work.
36:30
He's a smiley Joe Keep smiling, that's your MO.
36:34
I'm with you the. Tough face is not tough, just a
36:38
strange little frown. I don't keep smiling.
36:43
That's that's your thing you do that can.
36:46
I can I make, can I propose A compromise?
36:51
Can I sort of meet you in the middle?
36:52
All right, I'm cool with whatever he does up until first
37:00
base because and I because hear me out.
37:03
Yeah, you. You get that long, you're.
37:05
Me. You're you're what did you call
37:09
it? Your mean face his mean face
37:11
his. Tough face or his tough?
37:12
Face, yeah, his tough face. He'll hit rounding second,
37:15
rounding 3rd and it's like, that's not you guy.
37:19
That's that's just not you. And that's fine, that's fine.
37:23
That you can, you can be, you can be the cute cuddly little
37:26
guy and that's totally fine. However, I've seen some some bat
37:34
flips, some bat drops where I'm like the tough face kind of
37:40
works. It's it it all.
37:42
It's all jiving. Great.
37:44
Bat drop. He has incredible bat drops.
37:47
I'll give him that. The sling like the two like the
37:52
anger Anger sling where it's like a low you.
37:55
Know what I'm talking? About yeah, yeah, Flick of the
37:58
wrist, like the two hand flick of the wrist.
38:00
It's like at the waist. I like that one.
38:05
Like. The high one with the he does
38:07
he's. That's what I'm saying before
38:09
first, before he touches first. I'm I'm game with whatever, but
38:12
yeah, no, I get what you're saying.
38:14
But yeah, now, now we get to the the, the question of who who we
38:25
pulling for here. And I, I'll full transparency as
38:31
of this moment, I still don't know.
38:33
I genuinely don't ask. You to I was going to say the
38:35
floor is yours convince me to sell me I.
38:38
Don't hear me out. And I, and, and if people think
38:43
that, oh, it's the World Series now, they're going to give us
38:46
some data, some some evidence for their to support their
38:49
'cause you haven't been following us for any amount of
38:51
time. That's not how this works.
38:54
I'm thinking about how much I hated Canada Day when we were up
38:59
there this year. And I know I've mentioned that
39:01
on here multiple times. That was miserable.
39:03
I hated being in Canada. For Canada Day, that was I.
39:07
Get that I? Could not have felt more fish
39:10
out of water then when I was up there on July.
39:15
What first crazy what a what an experience did you?
39:19
Wear anything like anything like USA or what?
39:23
What were you rocking, by the way?
39:26
That's actually a great point. All I don't know that I well,
39:28
that's The thing is we didn't. I don't think we realized it was
39:32
candidate until we are already up there.
39:34
So I wasn't when I'm and I when I'm packing.
39:36
You knew, though, if I oh, if I knew without a doubt, but I we
39:40
genuinely did not because we're like, what is?
39:42
Why is it so like? Why is it?
39:45
Yeah, Like why is it? Why is it just bustling right
39:47
now? It's like the beginning of July.
39:49
What's all this about? And sure enough, we found out
39:52
it's Canada Day. But you know, I don't, I don't
39:54
know exactly what I wore on that on that given day.
39:59
But yeah, that's all that to say.
40:01
That's kind of what's going into my decision making.
40:04
Like did I feel so slighted to the point where?
40:09
Sorry you lost a a potential supporter.
40:12
Not that they need my support, but like it doesn't hurt to have
40:16
another on the bandwagon for this final series of the season.
40:19
You know, So that's and then obviously the Dodgers stigma.
40:26
I, you know, there's a lot of people that I get it.
40:32
I'll take the I'll take the logical approach, OK, I'm going
40:35
to give you arguments on both sides and and then you you
40:39
commit and I'll see if it helps me.
40:44
Just saying it out loud, OK, If we're if we're baseball fans and
40:51
we like the way the Blue Jays are going about it, right?
40:56
And just being good on all facets of the game.
41:00
You know, one through 9, there's Bunning, there's stolen bases,
41:07
there's extra 90s, there's good defense.
41:10
You don't really see any dopey defensive plays.
41:13
They don't really hurt themselves too much.
41:19
A good mix of young guys, a good mix of vets like they're this is
41:25
like a very good, I, I guess I'll say natural formula that I
41:32
think most teams can relate to. And if you're a baseball fan and
41:37
you're wanting that aspect and that part of baseball to be the
41:43
triumphant 1, I think you lean Blue Jays.
41:46
Now, the other argument is you and I have been in this camp,
41:52
openly been in this camp, of owners need to be competitive
41:56
and owners need to spend money. We've talked about everyone can
42:02
hate the Dodgers, but there are teams that can do this.
42:06
Are there other aspects to it that help them?
42:09
They're the Dodgers. The greatest?
42:12
Player in the world defers, you know, 98% of his contract, like
42:18
he offered that contract to other teams, like other teams
42:21
that that was on the board. You have, you have owners that
42:27
aren't spending money and it could lead to a lockout.
42:33
But the reality is if we're on this camp, if we're in this camp
42:36
and we're on this side and this is how we've been preaching it,
42:40
say I want owners to spend money.
42:42
I don't want a salary cap. I want them to be competitive.
42:45
I want them to go for it. This is the definition of going
42:49
for it. Then you got to go Dodgers.
42:52
Those are my 2 arguments I hey. Great arguments, and to be quite
42:56
frank, I didn't think you'd be the one bringing 2 arguments to
43:00
the table tonight, but here, here we are, alas.
43:04
Real quick though, on the lockout situation, and I hear
43:07
you that that's a major talking point of this Dodgers run.
43:11
And, you know, there's articles being written about it, like if
43:14
the Dodgers pull off this back-to-back, does that pretty
43:19
much put 20276 feet under? My question to the people that
43:27
continue to clamor for a salary cap, do you genuinely think that
43:37
a salary cap is going to change anything?
43:39
Do we all of a sudden think that the Dodgers are going to change
43:42
their behaviors? Do we think the Dodgers are
43:44
going to change the way they go about acquiring talent?
43:47
Do you think the Dodgers are going to go any any which way
43:50
differently about how they spend money as as as much as they're
43:56
allowed to? And what would the?
43:58
Salary cap be I don't. Know, but on the flip side, 2.
44:01
Less players than what they have at the moment.
44:03
Right it to me it's all relative because on the flip side, you do
44:07
we think that the Pirates are then going to be like, OK, now's
44:09
our time to shine and then decide that we're going to
44:12
change philosophies. All of a sudden, No, what are we
44:15
talking about? Drives me insane that people
44:19
think that all of a sudden these, the Marlins, the
44:21
Nationals, the Pirates, the Rockies, they're all going to
44:24
start spending money just because the teams at the top
44:28
have a cap. They have a limit on what
44:30
they're allowed to do. No, it comes down to
44:32
philosophies. And if the Dodgers are going to
44:35
maintain the philosophy that they have and just have to make
44:37
a minor tweak as to how much they're willing to spend in that
44:42
philosophy, then that's what's going to happen.
44:45
And the same thing is going to happen on the other side of the
44:47
spectrum with these teams that refuse to spend money.
44:49
They're not going to just all of a sudden start spending money.
44:52
It's as simple. As that I think.
44:53
It's a shallow argument anyway because you can't sit there and
44:57
say that they don't have incredible development,
45:00
incredible scouting, incredible drafting.
45:03
They've hadn't. They've had top of the line farm
45:06
system for years now and they spend money.
45:10
So it's like they're able to pay these guys and then they're able
45:13
to move some of these guys they've developed to help fill
45:16
in that big league roster or you bring them up to help fill it
45:20
in. And it's like that's the overall
45:24
philosophy that needs to be had across baseball.
45:28
Not every team does that, not even close.
45:30
So again, these are the arguments.
45:36
Then for that reason, I think I go Dodgers.
45:39
Then I'm probably going to piss off a lot of our listeners, but
45:43
I think I lean Dodgers because of the fact that like I I don't
45:48
get to Am I tired of seeing them?
45:52
Yes. Do I want do I want them to do I
45:56
want teams to start beating them?
45:58
Yes. Do I think they had an easy path
46:01
this year? Yes.
46:05
But I don't get to have the opinion that I have of wanting
46:09
owners to spend the money that they have on players they can
46:15
get on, spending money on scouting, developing, coaching,
46:21
getting everything bought in in the same direction.
46:24
I can't bail on that philosophy now.
46:26
So Eileen Dodgers, I don't know. I'm going to say it in six.
46:30
I don't even think they go 7. Did I sell you?
46:48
Either way, I. At the end of the day, look,
46:51
look, I am an American. That's.
47:00
Right there it is, and I refuse. Great argument.
47:04
I refuse. I refuse to be bullied by these
47:09
fans of teams that refuse to spend money and make their teams
47:13
better and try to win. I refuse to be bullied by fans
47:17
of those teams who say the Dodgers are bad for baseball.
47:22
No, your front office just sucks.
47:25
That's what it is. And I refuse to be bullied by
47:29
people like you into going against the Dodgers, who last I
47:35
checked, are the only remaining American team in this thing.
47:41
And last I checked, I'm an American.
47:47
And last I checked, I support teams that actually want to win
47:52
baseball games. And you know what?
47:54
The Dodgers do that. So yeah, Gimme Dodgers, Gimme
48:04
Dodgers and six. I was, I was leaning so hard to
48:07
five, but I was like, that's. A that's pushing it, that's.
48:10
That's aggressive. Is that what starts?
48:13
In Toronto, isn't it? It does and.
48:16
Well, actually, no full intended disrespect here, but Dodgers,
48:20
Dodgers won in five last year, right?
48:22
The Yankees only got one. Yeah.
48:24
OK. Yeah.
48:28
Which even that was a shock. I don't know.
48:34
Well. I think the Blue Jays are better
48:36
than what the Yankees were last year.
48:38
Not the saying that it's the same Dodger team.
48:41
Sure, yeah. Kind of is.
48:45
Yeah, I don't know better. Pitching, I don't.
48:50
Want to have the same pick as you, though?
48:52
But well, here's the other thing we got to keep in you got to
48:55
take into account would this if we are pulling for the Dodgers,
48:59
is that the kiss of death? Because there's kind of a which
49:03
I don't I don't know how in in tune you are with the comments
49:05
on our Facebook page, but there's not there's there's some
49:08
running bits right now about how we continue almost perpetually
49:15
pick whoever's playing the Dodgers.
49:20
And here they are on the verge of going back-to-back.
49:24
So with us finally choosing to pick the Dodgers, Look, what is
49:30
that mean? I'll just.
49:30
Come out and say I hate the Blue Jays.
49:32
I I don't like Canada, I don't like Vladdy, I don't like it
49:36
all. I, I think good for you, Rodgers
49:39
Center. Good for you, Tim Horton's.
49:42
I don't like them. They're iced.
49:43
Coffee. I know I said this when I got
49:45
back from Toronto. They're don't like them.
49:47
They're iced coffee is pretty solid.
49:49
They use syrup as their sweetener, which I'm like
49:52
that's, that's a well, like Maple syrup, not not like.
49:58
Corn syrup? Yeah, Like actual Maple syrup.
50:01
Fructose corn syrup. Yeah, none of that.
50:03
I don't like them. I don't like John Snyder.
50:08
I don't. I don't like them.
50:10
I don't like George Springer's hair.
50:13
I don't like IKF. I don't like him.
50:16
I. I found myself rooting for him
50:18
the other night. I remember, I don't even
50:19
remember what the situation was, but I was like, I come on, IKF.
50:23
Dude, I was like. That's something I've never said
50:25
in my life. I.
50:26
Know And I don't like Cosman either.
50:28
I didn't like him in high school.
50:29
I don't like him now. How's that?
50:33
How's that? Did we need to?
50:35
Did we need to drop all that? I feel like I made my case with
50:38
the American and all that just being.
50:39
Honest that there it is. The devil I know totters.
50:51
Oh boy, it's going. To be a rough listen for a lot
50:56
of people. Sorry.
51:00
Yeah. How about talk about flipping
51:02
the tables on people The to quote the great philosopher
51:06
Michael Scott. Well, well, well, how the
51:09
turntables? Bet you there's not a lot of
51:12
people anticipating these picks. Did not, did not see that coming
51:18
and. I'll be, I'll be quite honest
51:22
people if there's if there's Blue Jays fans listening and
51:25
they're probably going or not even Blue Jays fans, but just
51:28
people maybe that are in tune with our, our respective teams.
51:33
They're going. These are just some some bitter
51:36
division rivals fans that well, maybe for you, honestly, for me,
51:42
though, didn't even come into play.
51:45
It was really it was the Canada versus the USA they came into.
51:49
Play for me, I hate them. No, I and I get it and I, I
51:52
don't, I don't fault you. I'm just saying for me it
51:54
wasn't. It wasn't as much of a factor,
51:56
if at all, as as much as it was country versus country.
52:02
And you know what? I have my thoughts and feelings
52:04
about LA as a city. No doubt.
52:07
I don't like it. I've been there.
52:09
Still in our country. I've been there and I don't like
52:12
it. But you know what?
52:13
This is one of those cases where it's like, just because I'm
52:17
angry doesn't mean I don't care. And you know what?
52:20
I'm going to hold the proverbial umbrella over the city of Los
52:24
Angeles throughout this thing because, as I said, I'm an
52:28
American. That's right.
52:30
And I may not like them very much.
52:32
Yeah, but they're. American too.
52:36
Yeah, Well, we'll see. I'm just kidding, daughters.
52:44
And six. So I guess we don't have to do a
52:47
preview episode, right? No.
52:51
This kind of This is our preview episode looking ahead.
52:55
I don't know that we know 'cause it the Blue Jays, it was all
52:59
hands on deck situation and it look and I, I know that but.
53:02
No, no. I.
53:02
Know, I know they've got time off, but it's I don't know that
53:06
we're going to know probables. Dude, just give me, give me Max
53:11
Scherzer, Clayton Kershaw, Game one.
53:13
Let's just like, what else do we want to see?
53:16
You know, that's all I need. Yeah, yeah, it's probably.
53:21
Snow, though. No, I'm with you.
53:23
Let's. Yeah, No, I I like that.
53:26
Let's shorten this thing. Let's, let's make it a best of
53:29
five. Game one, we can just.
53:32
We'll punt. We'll go.
53:33
Scherzer. They'll be like exhibitions.
53:36
Maybe just give us give us a couple of exhibitions.
53:37
Game one will be Scherzer and Kershaw.
53:40
Game 2 give Otani an aluminum bat for his for or five ABS and
53:54
then we just get into it. Game 3.
53:57
Yeah, we did this without Boba Shet, by the way.
54:02
Is he, is that done? He's done, yeah.
54:08
What was the latest on that? It would be kind of.
54:09
Hard to just toss him in the lineup at this point, he said.
54:18
He'll be ready. Of course you did as of. 15
54:21
minutes ago quote. I'll be ready.
54:28
That just made things a little more interesting, a little bit
54:30
a. Little bit.
54:37
Somebody tweeted they're going to inject Beau Bichette with
54:39
substances not yet approved by Science.
54:41
They. Need a truly Hall?
54:47
All hands on deck here. Anything they can get.
54:52
Oh man, you want to go MVP pick? Yeah, let's go.
55:03
I mean, come on. Have some fun with it.
55:18
Who won it last year? Tommy Edmund No.
55:21
That was NLCS. Remember Tay?
55:25
Oscar. I think it was no.
55:28
It was Freddie. It was Freddie.
55:30
Oh. Right.
55:30
Yeah, Duh, duh. That's Freddie.
55:32
Yeah. Because.
55:33
Yeah, Edmund, I remember for sure it was NLCS.
55:35
I don't. I don't know, man.
55:46
It was easier last year to have a little fun with it.
55:48
Because. Otani.
55:53
What? Was only a factor on one side of
55:55
the ball last year. True, right.
56:02
Am I misremembering that? No, you're correct.
56:06
You just started pitching like a week ago.
56:10
Yeah, so. It was easier to have fun with
56:14
it, but I mean, who Like who else?
56:16
Who else are you going with? Granted the I guess if if you
56:22
were the type of person that wanted to have some fun with it,
56:24
what you do have working in your favor is like we talked about
56:28
Shohei Otani outside of game four, It's not necessarily a
56:34
guarantee that he's going to, if that's going to be extrapolated
56:38
over 5 or 6 games, what he did in game 4 the this series.
56:43
So I don't know. Revenge Tour.
56:49
It's going to be Tay Oscar. Give me Mookie.
56:54
Give me Mookie simply because of what I just said.
56:58
I not that I not that I'd be surprised if Shohei had a, a
57:04
World Series to remember, but he just hasn't been great this post
57:09
season. So yeah, I'll just take, I'll
57:10
take Mookie. Yeah, who had who did have a
57:13
good series? True, true that.
57:20
Yeah, we're. Going to have to, we're going to
57:24
have to do some live streaming this thing.
57:29
Game one, new office. Hey, game one is Friday.
57:34

57:36
It's. Tough I just got Internet today,
57:41
desk supposed to get here on Wednesday but did you hear all
57:47
the stuff going on with Amazon today?
57:52
Yeah. What was that all about?
57:54
I think it impacted the did you see the thing with the Jays
57:57
ticket services? No.
58:00
Yeah, they had to like pause ticket sales for Game 7 tonight
58:05
because I guess Amazon Web Services, Ticketmaster, I I was,
58:10
Yeah, so. Like 500 companies went down, no
58:13
free ads. Shout out Zeke.
58:15
Yeah. It was crazy.
58:18
So then I was like, well, I better look at my deliveries.
58:21
Are those still on time? I got ATV mount that's supposed
58:25
to come today, delayed. So if the desk isn't here, I
58:32

58:37
tough. Friday is going to be tough.
58:39
I will have it set up before the end of the World Series though,
58:44
So what if it? Goes 4.
58:48
It still takes us to what, Tuesday?

59:59
That's kind of it, man. You got any other fun?
1:00:01
I mean, fun narratives, fun stuff, fun things.
1:00:07
As it relates to the World Series, yeah.
1:00:10
Just like any any predictions, like I mean, I, I know we're
1:00:14
this is something we had last year, but like are he's very
1:00:18
good at his job. I know there's a little bit more
1:00:20
conversation about Joe Davis calling this game these games,
1:00:25
and, you know, I'm just. Glad the Dodger.
1:00:27
Games. Yeah, I'm just glad I I say this
1:00:31
every year. I'm glad we've reached the point
1:00:33
of no more TBS. No, you know no disrespect to
1:00:37
certain individuals in the crew. Not not it over there.
1:00:41
It's not, it's. Really not even the people, it's
1:00:44
just the it's the, it's the app, it's the production.
1:00:48
I'm just not crazy about pre and.
1:00:50
Post game is very good. Yeah, I love my guy.
1:00:55
I love my guy Pedro. But yeah, Curtis Grandison over
1:00:59
there. No disrespect, no disrespect.
1:01:01
Love Curtis and the pinstripes, but this is kind of kind of
1:01:05
boring. Did you?
1:01:06
Speaking of the cruise. Darling's the worst.
1:01:09
Keep going. He has his moments.
1:01:12
I can't stand him. All right.
1:01:16
Very well. This is truth.
1:01:18
This. Is Truth Corner over here I.
1:01:20
Would expect nothing less. Did you speak to Cruise?
1:01:22
Did you see did you see they had Jeter rewatch the other the clip
1:01:28
from the other guy? I'm like, all right, you know,
1:01:32
he's being a good sport. That that was good that that
1:01:35
whoever came up with that idea. That was funny.
1:01:38
Except I'm I'm pissed they played that clip and not or
1:01:42
maybe I missed it. Maybe they did show him.
1:01:44
But the how do you not play the clip of you just shot Derek
1:01:47
Jeter? Like how do you not play that
1:01:49
clip? He he played the whole like
1:01:51
little dialogue with Wahlberg. What do they, what is it?
1:01:56
What do they call like in like, yeah, who?
1:02:02
What do they call interracial Angel or something like that?
1:02:06
Biracial Angel. Biracial Angel that's.
1:02:11
What? I guess that's such a good
1:02:14
movie, dude. I love that movie, he said.
1:02:19
He. Still has the wig.
1:02:20
He kept the wig. Yeah, I saw that.
1:02:22
He's like I, I've memorized those lines.
1:02:24
They offered to put up a card. He's like, no, I'm memorizing
1:02:27
this. They respect, I heard.
1:02:29
Somebody on the crew, when he said that, like you need to wear
1:02:31
that for Halloween, I'm like. You.
1:02:34
Should, but yeah, that's so good, dude.
1:02:36
No, you mentioned, you mentioned predictions, narrative
1:02:41
storylines. I, I know I've said it before,
1:02:44
but I'm I'm going to run it back.
1:02:47
I'm very, very excited to watch World Series game.
1:02:52
I mean, obviously postseason baseball is postseason baseball
1:02:55
and having seen it play out in in the Rogers Center to this
1:02:59
point has been has been OK, but you know with.
1:03:03
Yeah. No, for sure tonight, but with
1:03:06
with some of these, you know, home losses throughout the
1:03:09
postseason for the Jays. It it I don't feel like we've
1:03:12
really seen it reach its full potential.
1:03:14
But I mean World Series baseball in the Rogers Center roof close
1:03:18
as as they should. I would hope this.
1:03:24
It's just going to be nuts, man. Like that.
1:03:27
The George Springer Homer was I mean, they said it.
1:03:32
They were like, George Springer just had his Jose Bautista
1:03:35
moment and I'm like, we could get more of that in this next
1:03:41
week. I don't know how they're going
1:03:45
to pitch to Vladdy. That's right.
1:03:53
Yeah, unfortunately, I don't feel like we gave him enough
1:03:54
love this episode. He's having, he's having a
1:03:57
postseason, like unbelievable. I mean, we have not seen
1:04:03
something like this in some time.
1:04:06
It's. Up there.
1:04:08
They said he's already passed his dad and postseason home
1:04:12
runs. He's got 6 right now, right?
1:04:17
Yeah, and he only. Punched out twice this this
1:04:21
series, I think possibly the whole postseason.
1:04:26
Yeah, he has. He has a 4% strikeout rate this
1:04:29
postseason. I mean.
1:04:32
Come on, what's? What's his OPS though it's like?
1:04:37
1470 it's stupid dude. So insane.
1:04:42
I think that was before the last few ABS tonight, but
1:04:49
unbelievable. 1330 in the ALCS. 1470, yeah.
1:05:00
He's he's locked in man. And like you don't, I don't
1:05:08
know. It's just it's crazy to see this
1:05:12
long of a stretch from a guess hitter because he is, he's a
1:05:15
guess hitter, but man, does he have some play coverage.
1:05:25
Unbelievable. I wonder if the time off is
1:05:29
going to, you know, because we saw they had a time off before
1:05:33
this series started and he kind of had a slow start.
1:05:38
So I'm interested to see, you know, what these three days off,
1:05:43
what that does to their lineup with him specifically.
1:05:50
But again, you're just I mean, at this point you're talking
1:05:53
about a fully rested Dodger staff fully, fully, fully
1:05:57
rested, maybe over rested. We'll see.
1:06:01
That's it. That's all I got now to take
1:06:03
some out of fun things to say. Go go, Jason.
1:06:09
Curveballs. We love you all and as always,
1:06:11
looking forward to talking more baseball with you guys soon.
1:06:13
Until next time, stay filthy.
