The MLB Postseason Report with Paul Tipton, Will Retherford & Michelle Garmon (2.59.1) · The Central Indiana Sports Report

0:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome back baseball fans of the Central Indiana Sports Report for the MLB Postseason Report.
0:20
[SPEAKER_01]: We are two games into each LCS, the visiting team, is 4-0.
0:27
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm joined as always by Paul Tipton and tonight.
0:31
[SPEAKER_01]: by Will Rutherford, of Strictly Bice, with Will Rutherford, and Michelle Garment of the Tipton Tribune, and Elwood Colleder to talk all about it, Paul.
0:41
[SPEAKER_01]: Do we know who's gonna be in the world series now?
0:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
0:46
[SPEAKER_02]: We might, that's a very depressing thought that we should just mail in the rest of these, so.
0:54
[SPEAKER_02]: They're my, they're my, they're my.
0:56
[SPEAKER_02]: There might be some surprises but I have to say tonight's game between the game two of the Brewers and Dodgers was just not an interesting game at all.
1:07
[SPEAKER_02]: Didn't the Brewers couldn't even get one shut down inning with a lead and it just seemed all way too predictable.
1:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Well there's nothing better than watching the Milwaukee Brewers brewer all over the place.
1:26
[SPEAKER_00]: they've done it.
1:27
[SPEAKER_00]: They've been just poor, basically, in all aspects of the game.
1:32
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm baffled.
1:33
[SPEAKER_00]: I really thought that they were going to be a tough out for the Dodgers.
1:35
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought they were going to be a tough matchup stylistically.
1:38
[SPEAKER_00]: They play a game that I think is difficult for teams to put away, but they've just had many able to put the ball and play.
1:44
[SPEAKER_00]: And when you're not able to get runners on, um,
1:48
[SPEAKER_00]: you're not able to score.
1:49
[SPEAKER_00]: They just don't have enough power bats to overcome the lack of hitting overall and I think that this is game set match.
1:57
[SPEAKER_00]: I just don't think they can come back in this series at all.
2:01
[SPEAKER_03]: If you really want to look at it too, things went perfectly for them.
2:06
[SPEAKER_03]: Yesterday and one the most.
2:08
[SPEAKER_03]: extraordinary and I guess a highlight play that will be played over and over when on the double play that you know turns into a double play on what the Dodgers should have scored and they didn't and the birds can even capitalize on that you know for last night and they come back tonight and don't hit the ball
2:39
[SPEAKER_03]: and their starting pitching has been really good in the postseason and their starters seem to be able to eat up a lot of things is always a good thing.
2:48
[SPEAKER_02]: The Dodgers were very fortunate to win that game yesterday after one of the greatest plays in the history of postseason baseball.
3:00
[SPEAKER_02]: in my mind unrivaled except for the time I saw a table game where a guy got a unassisted quadruple play because they because they don't count outs and just count runners or batters in an innings.
3:15
[SPEAKER_02]: That was brilliant play, a staggering exciting and the Dodgers
3:29
[SPEAKER_02]: to tie the game in the ninth inning.
3:32
[SPEAKER_02]: And his body, unfortunately, went into self-preservation mode and he jumped out of the way.
3:38
[SPEAKER_02]: Gotta pick one for the tear.
3:42
[SPEAKER_02]: That exact, if there was ever a time to say, I'm not flinching, I'm just gonna take this one.
3:48
[SPEAKER_02]: He seemed to be unprepared for that, but again, the Dodgers were dominant tonight, but that game yesterday,
3:57
[SPEAKER_02]: Everybody would be talking about that double play with the bases loaded.
4:03
[SPEAKER_02]: If only they would have taken the run that the Dodgers were trying to get them.
4:11
[SPEAKER_00]: the brewers got the match up.
4:13
[SPEAKER_00]: They wanted.
4:13
[SPEAKER_00]: They wanted to bring to come up and that in in contraris put together a brilliant hat bad, drawing the walk there to load them.
4:20
[SPEAKER_00]: And not only are we going to talk about terrain in your kneecap blown out by an 87-month hour sliders not fun, but I feel like the sacrifice would be worth it.
4:31
[SPEAKER_00]: My bigger issue is we're swinging at pitches at
4:41
[SPEAKER_00]: He just went out of the zone, training wasn't trying to throw a strike.
4:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Whenever he got to two strikes in either battery faced.
4:48
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's just, it's the brewer's brewing.
4:53
[SPEAKER_00]: They got the exact matchup they wanted and they just couldn't finish the job.
4:56
[SPEAKER_00]: And they really had to serve on a silver platter.
5:00
[SPEAKER_00]: And they just couldn't finish it.
5:03
[SPEAKER_00]: that play is going to get neglected by the fact that, you know, they get blown out tonight and I think that this ends in four.
5:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, I just, the, the, the brewerers spend their two best pitchers.
5:14
[SPEAKER_00]: You're talking bullpen game tomorrow, Jose Canton.
5:17
[SPEAKER_00]: I like does that really scare the Dodgers right now the way that they're hitting the ball.
5:22
[SPEAKER_00]: I, I don't think so.
5:24
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, what's happened to the brewer pitching?
5:26
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like they only have two starters in this
5:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, part of the problem in this series, I think, is Abner, your rebarray has not been good.
5:35
[SPEAKER_00]: He's talking about a shutdown guy sub 2, we are a guy in the regular season.
5:39
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's just not been super effective.
5:40
[SPEAKER_00]: His off speeds is not working for him.
5:42
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that Pat Murphy, because of the lack of starting depth has had to basically platoon the bullpin in a way that everybody's going to pitch.
5:53
[SPEAKER_00]: at some point, and it's just kind of getting to the matchup we like.
5:56
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's on a good job of neutralizing show.
5:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, I don't think that the brewers have necessarily played bad strategically.
6:03
[SPEAKER_00]: They just haven't been able to get the job done when the job is needed to get done.
6:07
[SPEAKER_00]: And unfortunately, that's all October baseball's battle.
6:12
[SPEAKER_03]: The doctors are just proving they've got bats one through nine.
6:15
[SPEAKER_03]: The top of their order, the middle of the order, and then the other nine's kind of down.
6:18
[SPEAKER_03]: They're just getting, they've gotten production.
6:22
[SPEAKER_03]: throughout, kind of throughout their lineup in this postseason, and if you're doing that, it makes you even hard to beat harder to beat.
6:30
[SPEAKER_02]: They certainly haven't scored a heck of a lot of runs and show Hayo Tani who drove in one run tonight has done almost nothing.
6:41
[SPEAKER_02]: Almost nothing.
6:44
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
6:44
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't.
6:47
[SPEAKER_02]: I was expecting the Dodgers to play this way, but like Wilson, I was just expecting the Brewers to get some hits to spray the ball around.
6:59
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, but history told you what was going to happen.
7:02
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no.
7:03
[SPEAKER_02]: That's football.
7:04
[SPEAKER_02]: There's no history.
7:05
[SPEAKER_02]: That's a different set of guys.
7:07
[SPEAKER_03]: No, I'll tell you what it is.
7:08
[SPEAKER_02]: Kevin Williams is too.
7:12
[SPEAKER_03]: It's Tyre's Hall of Burton.
7:13
[SPEAKER_03]: It's the ginger jinx.
7:15
[SPEAKER_03]: You're seeing what he's done, right?
7:16
[SPEAKER_03]: The last, the Pacers, games, he's up.
7:20
[SPEAKER_03]: Even though they're not playing the bucks in the preseason, the first night.
7:23
[SPEAKER_03]: You're saying, he wore a cubs.
7:25
[SPEAKER_01]: He's like, that's what it is.
7:27
[SPEAKER_03]: And last night, he wore the Dodgers jersey.
7:31
[SPEAKER_03]: Hey, he's having fun with it.
7:33
[SPEAKER_03]: I think he's got his little voodoo dolls and everything.
7:36
[SPEAKER_03]: He's put the jinx on the berth.
7:42
[SPEAKER_01]: That's just not like his hometown team.
7:45
[SPEAKER_03]: He does not, they're, well, they don't like him.
7:48
[SPEAKER_03]: But they do not like him.
7:54
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, so it sounds like everybody believes that this NLCF is over.
7:58
[SPEAKER_01]: The Dodgers are winning.
7:59
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I told you all, you could have just listened to me.
8:02
[SPEAKER_01]: They're winning and four.
8:04
[SPEAKER_01]: The American League, though, I don't think so.
8:06
[SPEAKER_01]: I just, I think this Luget's line up is too good to count out.
8:11
[SPEAKER_02]: I agree.
8:11
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just waiting for them to do something.
8:14
[SPEAKER_02]: That was that was a pretty pitiful performance.
8:17
[SPEAKER_02]: Two games in a row in front of their starving fan base.
8:24
[SPEAKER_03]: Now they're going to Seattle who's fan base is really going to be hype.
8:28
[SPEAKER_03]: So the blue jays want to take the crowd of it and that some of that atmosphere, they're going to have to come out and they're not to find their bats and score runs early.
8:37
[SPEAKER_03]: I think.
8:39
[SPEAKER_03]: And if they, if the Mariners can jump out, do what they've done the first two games that crowds going to just, they're going to feed off that energy of the crowd.
8:47
[SPEAKER_03]: And I don't think this series is over, but if the Mariners would win and go up 30, it will be very hard for the Blue Jays to win four straight, I believe.
9:00
[SPEAKER_01]: Last, the expectation isn't that Seattle's now going home, so they should take care of business, but it's not that easy.
9:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I think it's easier when you have the starting pitching that the Mariners have, and I think that's kind of where the series starts and ends is, you know, top to bottom, I think the Mariners probably match the Dodgers in terms of effectiveness with their starters.
9:23
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the Dodgers have been fortunate to get what they've gotten out of both snail and Yamamoto.
9:29
[SPEAKER_00]: It's pretty rare to go eight plus back to back starts in the postseason.
9:34
[SPEAKER_00]: the mayors can match them there.
9:36
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that that's kind of the blue jays issue is that the blue jays didn't really have to worry about starting pitching with the Yankees for all and tints and purposes of the Yankees were abandoned together, starting staff and bullpen, that Aaron Boone doesn't use effectively when they're healthy, but the mayors just are, I think the better team.
9:56
[SPEAKER_00]: I think
9:58
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't really know what else to say.
10:00
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that the Mariners lineup has shown that they're coming to play.
10:04
[SPEAKER_00]: And you've got George Kirby going tomorrow.
10:08
[SPEAKER_00]: He obviously pitched really well in that 15 inning thriller.
10:11
[SPEAKER_00]: He got pulled in the sixth inning, but you got to feel really good if you're the Mariners going back home.
10:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Who's starting for the Blue Jays tomorrow?
10:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Shane Beaver.
10:28
[SPEAKER_02]: Hmm, me.
10:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, I, you can ask Greg, you can go back and listen to my show.
10:33
[SPEAKER_00]: They were my like sleeper team of the year was the mayor.
10:36
[SPEAKER_00]: So I've been, been hot to try with them.
10:38
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that pitching staff is really, really good.
10:41
[SPEAKER_00]: And getting Brian will back makes a huge difference.
10:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you can see this cow roll.
10:47
[SPEAKER_01]: He sees him coming so I haven't.
10:50
[SPEAKER_00]: If he ever hits 40 home runs again, it would be.
10:55
[SPEAKER_00]: And I would like to actually talk about that briefly.
10:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Why does anybody throw a strike to him?
11:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Like that's what baffles me.
11:02
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just like don't throw a strike to him.
11:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Like he will chase.
11:06
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not a contact hitter.
11:08
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not an errand judge where he's going to get to uncover everything to the plate.
11:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I just, he gets served up meatballs that baffling to me.
11:17
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's, that's even true in game ones game when they were down one to nothing.
11:24
[SPEAKER_02]: Didn't let the blast.
11:25
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just like, the Dave fans pumped up the pitcher and he tried to just blow one by him.
11:29
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and he had, and he had two strikes on him, too.
11:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I, I don't understand the, to me, it's just lack of, I don't know if it's awareness or in game situation.
11:40
[SPEAKER_00]: I was talking to my dad about this tonight.
11:43
[SPEAKER_00]: If I was a team in the regular season, it, I would never pitch to show haotani if bases were open.
11:50
[SPEAKER_00]: If there was more than, uh, if there was one out or more, I, he, I would intentionally walk him every time because statistically, I think I've got a better chance of getting whoever else out than show hey, I wouldn't pitch to him.
12:02
[SPEAKER_00]: And right now, in the postseason, I wouldn't pitch to Tower Ali.
12:04
[SPEAKER_00]: I, I just wouldn't.
12:05
[SPEAKER_00]: If I've got a bag, he's not a guy that's going to go steal bases on you.
12:09
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to tell you a little bit below.
12:12
[SPEAKER_01]: If you walk show a tiny, every time he was up,
12:16
[SPEAKER_01]: There would have been a lot of outs that the brewers wouldn't have gotten because he has not been hitting very well.
12:21
[SPEAKER_00]: I said regular season and I'll what I'll respond to that by saying that I think that he gets exploited in the regular or in the postseason more than the regular season because in the regular season, he's seen whoever's come out of the bullpen.
12:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Most of the time you're going to get a right handed picture starting statistically more than likely you are going to see more right handed guys and then you might have a bullpen
12:45
[SPEAKER_00]: So over the course of a series, show hey might get two or three at bass against a lefty and then he's getting nine against a right handed pitcher.
12:52
[SPEAKER_00]: This postseason, you've seen it.
12:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Their stack and lefty is on him.
12:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Show hey comes up.
12:56
[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to the bullpen and they're not letting him face right handed pitching.
13:00
[SPEAKER_00]: I just, I wouldn't even think about throwing the ball to him with a righty with any stake in the game whatsoever.
13:08
[SPEAKER_02]: He's sure he's striking out a lot in the postseason.
13:17
[SPEAKER_02]: I hope the blue jaz can at least make it interesting game.
13:21
[SPEAKER_02]: I would hate for both of these championship series to go for an out.
13:27
[SPEAKER_02]: That would just be bad.
13:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, there's not a whole lot of excitement.
13:33
[SPEAKER_00]: I think at this point with the Yankees being out.
13:36
[SPEAKER_00]: So the MLB is just banking on the Dodgers getting in there for TV ratings at this point.
13:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Wednesday, ALCS Game 3 in Seattle at 8 on FS-1, and then Thursday is, that'd be our last double day.
13:56
[SPEAKER_01]: No, not our last one.
13:57
[SPEAKER_01]: One of the last double days of the year.
14:01
[SPEAKER_01]: Six o'clock is the Brewers and Dodgers on TBS.
14:07
[SPEAKER_01]: A 30 blue jays at Mariners.
14:13
[SPEAKER_02]: I missed the four games in a day.
14:15
[SPEAKER_02]: Thanks for reminding me we're almost out of two in a day.
14:19
[SPEAKER_02]: And then before you know it, pictures and catchers.
14:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
14:24
[SPEAKER_02]: Toast, not yet.
14:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and you're neck of the wood.
14:29
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's right.
14:30
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, we're very excited about March, but not yet.
14:34
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's have some drama in October.
14:37
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I think there might be some red buzz out there in March in the desert.
14:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
14:42
[SPEAKER_01]: For the first time in a decade.
14:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Bring a man.

14:49
[SPEAKER_01]: That's your third one today.
14:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, there's nothing better than talking about the auto mechanic in the Jimmy John Submaker play and the first spring training game.
15:01
[SPEAKER_00]: That's always fun to watch.
15:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Thanks so much to Paul and Will and Rochelle who we seem to have lost there at the end.
15:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you so much for listening.
15:19
[SPEAKER_01]: We got a ton coming up in the next few days.
15:23
