DODGERS WIN BACK-TO-BACK WORLD SERIES · 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. Welcome back to the Three O Take
0:16
Percent by Chinook Sedry. This is episode 581.
0:19
I'll be your host, Kyle Cord. I'm here with my Co host Nate
0:23
Reyes. Nate.
0:26
Good Lord, Casey, how are we? Dude didn't even have a dog in
0:32
the hunt. But man, I was, I was nervous.
0:37
To take a lot. For a while.
0:40
I think who was it, Joe Davis at the end of the game, I think I
0:43
had three heart attacks, dude, during that thing.
0:46
That was OK. Let's just let's let's go ahead
0:50
and check the boxes here. One of the best World Series
0:55
you'll ever see, one of the best Game Sevens you'll ever see, and
0:59
quite frankly, I think just one of the best games you're ever
1:02
going to see. That game had everything that
1:06
game had. Great defense, clutch ABS, small
1:12
ball. The coolest under pressure
1:17
moments, the greatest of pressures, one would argue.
1:23
You know, I mean, you had closely, you had three two
1:26
counts. You had balls just just off the
1:29
black not getting called. You had Bang Bang plays, forces
1:34
at home. I got guys crashing into each
1:37
other. I mean, early in the game diving
1:40
catches like you had you had extra base hits, you had home
1:43
runs. You had like insane how?
1:47
Many Here's something that I'm I'm just now thinking of how
1:51
many starting pitchers were featured in this game.
1:55
We had for Toronto. We had Max Scherzer, Chris
2:00
Bassett, Treya Savage, Shane Bieber all go.
2:08
We had Shohei Ohtani, Tyler Glass, Now Blake Snell,
2:14
Yamamoto. 8 starting pitchers in Game 7.
2:21
That is the definition of an all hands on deck.
2:24
That's the definition of a Game 7.
2:25
Dude. That was just impeccable.
2:30
What a great World Series. One of one of the best World
2:36
Series I think we're going to see in our lifetime.
2:39
And I, I wanted to say this closer to the top because I know
2:44
that we may have some hate listens from people that just
2:49
can't stand the Dodgers. Let me try to hopefully put this
2:52
into perspective for you. I need the people that hate the
2:57
Dodgers to take off their Dodger hate hats for just a second.
3:01
Sure. And understand that it's OK to
3:08
set aside your hatred for the Dodgers.
3:10
And understand that we just witnessed A downright classic of
3:15
a World Series. And specifically with game
3:18
seven, that was frankly the last thing that I was thinking about
3:23
was how much money the Dodgers have spent.
3:25
I was simply locked into a game seven of one of the best World
3:30
Series that we've seen, one of the best we've seen in our
3:33
lifetime, featuring 2 very good teams that were not willing to
3:40
give an inch. And that's part of the reason,
3:45
if not the entire reason we saw this thing going to extras.
3:49
I mean, you could not have asked for a better finish to this
3:53
series. This was unbelievable.
3:58
It's excellent, man. It's excellent.
4:01
Had everything. Where do we start?
4:02
Where do you want to I mean? This game, well, here's the
4:06
thing. This game was Game 6.
4:07
Too, Because there's. That's what I'm saying.
4:11
It's controversy as to why we're here.
4:12
It's probably some upset Blue Jays fans that feel like they
4:15
probably shouldn't have even been to Game 7 so.
4:20
That that's what's so crazy about this Game 7 is it was so
4:24
good that game. I mean, it frankly wouldn't have
4:28
mattered how Game Seven would have gone 'cause then at that
4:31
point you're just talking about who wins it and Game 6 is sort
4:33
of an afterthought anyway. But because of how just
4:37
downright incredible to Game 7 was, it truly feels like an
4:41
afterthought now. Maybe not so much for Blue Jays
4:43
fans, because maybe now they're looking at Game 6A little more
4:46
closely under the microscope going that was that was maybe a
4:50
missed opportunity. There was a lot.
4:51
There was a handful of missed opportunities for the Blue Jays.
4:56
I don't look, I don't think we're talking about the Blue
5:00
Jays. Fans certainly are.
5:01
But the Blue Jays were two inches away from winning the
5:11
World Series. 2 inches a split second away from winning the
5:19
World Series. Not to rub salt in the wound,
5:20
but that hurts. Missed.
5:23
Missed opportunities. I don't know.
5:27
First off, let me I'm going to address our group chat real
5:30
quick because I don't remember getting that much support after
5:34
the Yankees lost last year from all of our friends in the group
5:38
chat. Ton of support to our guy Micah,
5:41
but I don't remember. Getting any love after we got
5:47
got embarrassed, but whatever. I mean, Blue Jays fans are
5:50
getting therapy appointments set up, you know, mental, mental
5:55
health checks. I don't think I got any of that
5:57
poor name because nobody cares about the Yankees.
6:01
Nobody dude. Anyway, moving on.
6:05
Happy for for this. No no, no, no no no no.
6:08
Stop. This is that classic meme where
6:10
it's the guy looking himself in the mirror and he says this has
6:14
nothing to do with you, but you get in there and make it about
6:17
you. Typical Yankee fan.
6:19
That's what we got to do, baby. That's what we got to do.
6:21
Sit. No, I'm just kidding.
6:22
Go ahead. Yeah, I mean, I don't know
6:28
what's worse. Do you like your your biggest
6:33
fear of your team coming true on the biggest stage or being so,
6:44
so close, so close to hoisting the first trophy in in 30 plus
6:50
years? Like I, I don't know what's
6:55
worse. I this was such an evenly
6:58
matched World Series. I know you mentioned there was a
7:01
lot of opportunities missed. Yeah.
7:03
I mean, you could argue that for both sides.
7:05
I think, you know, like, obviously a ton of runners left
7:08
on base. Historic, historic World Series.
7:16
So many different narratives, so many different storylines.
7:21
I mean, I I guess if you want to kind of break it down a little
7:24
bit, I mean, going back to Game 6, like, you know, all these all
7:28
these comments and videos about like the quotes that Mookie had
7:34
of him being down in the dumps and like just reflecting of like
7:37
how poorly he's played for him to have, you know, a clutch AB
7:40
and a clutch knock and drive in some runs.
7:43
It's like you have that you have, you know, Andy Pahas, who
7:48
has been horrendous offensively, making an insane.
7:54
I don't think Kiki had that ball tonight.
7:56
I don't that looked like he was in the worst position possible
8:00
to make that play on the track. So for Pas has to come in, just
8:04
lay him out to make that play. I'm like, good for you Andy,
8:08
because Kiki was not on that. I'm sorry.
8:10
Meredith, well known non 162 girl, yeah, even she looked at
8:16
me and she goes, he was basically he would have been
8:19
backwards trying to catch that ball.
8:21
What was he doing? I'm like hard to say.
8:23
Worst possible. Position to get in, but you have
8:27
that storyline right. I mean you have just one of the
8:33
greatest post season performances in vladdy.
8:39
You have a storyline of Boba shet missing 2 full months and
8:44
and hitting a massive home run to start off game seven.
8:48
I mean you there's so there was just everything, everything in
8:54
this World Series. You had two games.
8:56
We we had an extra game. This was Game 8.
9:00
Like I you have a starter in Yamamoto who just won an MVP and
9:06
I told I called that by. The way Oh no, no, we're going
9:08
to get into it. We're going to get.
9:09
Into it for him to come back. I like there's just so many
9:12
storylines and just excellent overall at 10 out of 10 A+ and
9:20
shame on the people saying it was scripted in our comments, by
9:23
the way. Our guy.
9:28
That's the beauty of our game. Friend of the pod, Dallas
9:30
Braden, He he said it, He, I, I saw something, I think it was
9:35
today people talking about, well, of course it's going to
9:37
game seven. It's everything's scripted,
9:39
scripted for the Dodgers. To his point, he he said it
9:43
perfectly. He said you still have to be
9:45
able to execute the script. And that's the beauty of this
9:48
game. We talk about it with the All
9:49
Star game as an example, where it's like, that's why the All
9:53
Star game is still so great because unlike the NBA where you
9:57
can just Cadillac it lollygag and put up 300 points, in
10:02
baseball, you can't you can't really take the foot off the
10:06
pedal. You still have to be able to hit
10:08
95 plus in an All Star game. You still have to be able to
10:11
play great defense, make smart base running decisions.
10:15
And that's, that's like, if, if you OK, if you want to believe
10:20
that there's some element of this that's scripted, go ahead.
10:24
But understand that the people making those decisions.
10:28
Under the left center fence like.
10:30
Understand that the people making the scripts can only take
10:35
it so far. The guys on the field have to be
10:40
able to execute it. OK, So just put that, put that
10:46
aside. But you mentioned the ball.
10:48
I feel like we, we, if we didn't mention it, what are your
10:53
thoughts? Because I feel like I have my
10:54
thoughts. I I would venture to say we're
10:56
probably aligned here, but this was a very contentious moment in
11:01
game. Understandably so, but very
11:04
polarizing. You had people on the furthest
11:09
ends of the spectrum arguing about how this play should have
11:13
been handled. If if I was on, if I was on the
11:20
Blue Jays side of it, I'd be fairly salty about it.
11:23
But the reality is that's it's the rule.
11:26
That's the rule. Could he have gotten down and
11:32
and snagged it and probably lost no time at all?
11:38
Maybe, Probably because he did. After it was called, Daddy just
11:41
went down and grabbed it. However, on the other side, if
11:46
he does try to grab that and he struggles with it, it's not
11:51
called dead the second you make that attempt and you're fighting
11:56
for it. If you got to lift the fence to
11:59
be able to pull that thing out, like then it is live.
12:04
He made the right call. We're taught that at the
12:06
youngest of ages. I mean, because, you know, you
12:09
grow up playing under crazy weird fences and, and chain link
12:13
fences and, you know, uneven fields.
12:15
It's just what happens. Balls sneak under the fence or
12:18
they get wedged. And so you kind of grow up like
12:20
getting used to having to do that.
12:23
It's crazy to see it on the biggest stage at the biggest
12:26
moment and I, I do, I do feel for the Blue Jays fans because
12:32
for those who maybe didn't get to see the play, you know what I
12:36
mean? That's a guy on 1st like he's
12:38
1000% scoring on that. He was absolutely scoring on
12:43
that and was likely going to push a triple maybe, but it was
12:50
the very least. It's an easy double and we got
12:53
tie game at that point, right? So I get it.
12:58
I feel for him. But that's the rule, the rules,
13:01
the rule. I mean, it's it it got stuck,
13:04
hands go up and that's how it is.
13:08
I don't, I was trying to think of, I don't know why there's
13:11
like this play from a long time ago that stuck in my head.
13:16
I want to say it was like, it was like the Marlins, like the
13:21
old Florida Marlins. And I think a ball got stuck and
13:26
I want to say it was Gary Sheffield, but I don't, I don't
13:29
know why I want to, but I feel like it was Gary Sheffield
13:32
putting his his arms up. Umpire comes out and just like
13:36
easily grabs it. Like easily proves that it's
13:40
not. I don't know how that call got
13:42
changed. I don't know if it was awarded
13:44
1. Oh, I saw that clip.
13:46
I saw that clip today. It yeah, Yeah, I know what
13:48
you're talking about. I don't know if I don't think it
13:50
was Sheffield, Yeah. It's like a 30 year old play.
13:54
I don't remember the result of it, but it's it makes you wonder
13:58
like, you know, did if they would have spent a little more
14:00
time on it. You know, like if we could have
14:02
just maybe there's a new rule that like ball gets wedged,
14:09
outfielder puts his arms up and it can't be touched until it's
14:16
maybe investigated by the umpires, you know, like, let's
14:20
call it dead on that spot. And then let's just use common
14:25
sense from that point. You have you have replay
14:29
abilities. You can see that like, OK, is
14:32
this guy, because at that point he was either a step from third
14:36
base or maybe even past third base.
14:38
And I think that common sense, you can say, OK, this ball is
14:42
not that wedged. I can grab it easily.
14:45
He passed their base. Let's just award him the run.
14:49
You know what I mean? Like I wonder if there's going
14:51
to be some rule change to it because it's it's not a pretty
14:58
rule. It's an ugly rule.
15:00
And we have we have a weird game where there's quirks and unique
15:05
fences and and stadiums and fields and just weird things
15:09
like that that just sometimes come into play and it sucks.
15:13
I hope it doesn't. I mean makes you wonder if it's
15:16
going to go down as like the, you know, the a rod home run in
15:19
O nine against the Phillies, like hitting off the camera or
15:22
not like it makes you wonder if if it's going to be remembered
15:26
that way. But I don't know.
15:30
How do you feel? I'm assuming you agree like it.
15:33
It's the rule, right? It's the rule.
15:35
It was this, it was the smart decision, it was the right
15:39
decision. And if if you're going back for
15:42
that ball and you see it get lodged and in that split second
15:46
it even remotely has the appearance of being lodged, you,
15:52
your brain immediately has to tell you put your hands up
15:55
because like you said, you're taught that from the youngest of
15:58
ages. And so you do not want to risk
16:03
going down there because, yeah, it's easy for us, like armchair
16:07
coaches to sit there and be like, a ball's not launched
16:10
after we've watched the replay a dozen times and can slow it down
16:14
in slow motion. Yeah, in that, in that, in that
16:17
very moment, you don't, you don't know until he actually
16:22
goes over and picks up and like, OK, maybe it wasn't as bad as it
16:24
looked, but it had the appearance of being lodged.
16:27
The what? The padding was indented.
16:30
You don't run the risk of getting down there and having to
16:33
fight the wall. And he did the right thing for.
16:35
Any amount of time he did the right thing, and that's just the
16:38
rule. If he is struggling with it, the
16:41
second he's fighting for it, it's no longer called dead.
16:45
You can't undo it. The play continues, so if he
16:48
continues to fight for it and struggle, that guy's just going.
16:52
So he did the right thing anyway.
16:56
Tough. Just an added added layer to
16:59
this series, man, just an it had everything.
17:01
It had everything unreal and then we we haven't even
17:06
mentioned the ending of Game 6. I mean, like, I, I feel like
17:13
I've said this multiple times, this series, not hyperbole, just
17:19
like this has been one of the best World Series that get the
17:22
ending to Game 6 was so gut wrenching.
17:26
There's so many gut wrenching moments in this series.
17:28
I feel like. And I just, I just didn't even
17:32
want to see it end, quite honestly.
17:33
Like I put out the tweet earlier tonight where I was like, let's
17:35
go, let's run this like let's go 18 again.
17:39
And granted, I didn't want to have to stay up till 3:00 in the
17:42
morning, but like just for the quality of baseball, we are
17:45
seeing, the moments that we are seeing develop the narratives
17:48
that we were seeing continue for all of those reasons.
17:51
I wanted this series, this game to continue on and on and on.
17:56
But the ending of Game 6, just a tough break.
17:59
Like you got to you got to know that you got to freeze there.
18:09
I don't know, I got I, I feel like I have to walk a tight line
18:11
because there's so many, so many plays we've seen even just this
18:15
post season where I'm like, it's easy for us to sit there and be
18:18
like, well, you got to know to do this.
18:20
You got to be able to execute. But you know, in that, in that
18:25
moment, you just got to at the very least freeze.
18:29
Even if you don't go back, you got to freeze to give yourself a
18:31
chance to get back. Who was on 2nd?
18:35
Barger. You got to know the word.
18:42
You're not scoring on that. It's it's a one hop.
18:46
At best case scenario, it's a one hop.
18:49
You're not scoring on it. It was tough, man.
18:56
And that I think that's what just, I'm not trying to nerd out
19:00
in any way. It's just like our game is just
19:03
insane, dude. Because like you talk about Kiki
19:07
making a season saving, championship saving catch and
19:13
play in a very athletic play to just on the run to make that
19:19
throw to 2nd. To Miguel Rojas, who had.
19:23
Oh, crazy tweener hop. I mean, have a couple games.
19:28
Miguel Rojas. My goodness.
19:30
It's just like another narrative, but another story is
19:34
just storylines all over the place.
19:36
But and and then the very next game, you're like, I think Kiki
19:40
got bailed out, right? Like we already talked about,
19:42
it's just insanity, man, insanity.
19:46
But yeah, there's it's not to the extent of what we saw, you
19:58
know, like poor baseball being played by the Yankees last year
20:01
at all. I don't think the Blue Jays
20:03
played bad baseball at all. That's just a bad moment.
20:06
But we've talked about it for months now, dude.
20:08
And basically the entire season like it.
20:10
The fundamental aspect of the game, like that's genuinely what
20:14
it comes down to, is making the fundamental plays.
20:18
And I don't know why it's just so evident on the bases
20:24
specifically, so evident just and and catching, you know what
20:32
I mean? But it comes down to base
20:34
running, whether extra 90 is given or extra 90 isn't taken
20:39
advantage of because of bad base running or I haven't.
20:46
I never, never did I play at that level, never will.
20:49
I never have. I never coach at that level.
20:52
But like, I think you and I played the game long enough to
20:55
where like base running drills are just it's ingrained in you.
21:05
I could, I could go to first base right now and I could walk
21:08
through my lead. I could walk through my
21:10
secondary. I could go 1st to 3rd on a base
21:13
hit like that. It's just the way that it's
21:16
ingrained in you and taught. And I would again, like I'm not
21:20
on the big league level. It's not, I'm not saying that
21:22
I'm just it's just becoming more and more evident.
21:26
And I'm not calling out the Blue Jays entirely here because it is
21:30
baseball wide and you see it on the biggest stage and it's not
21:36
OK. And that can be the difference.
21:38
It was the difference. We're not just saying this
21:42
because we're we're being grumpy old men.
21:45
It's like the reality is that that does make the difference
21:50
between winning and losing these games.
21:51
And you saw two of the closest match teams that I've seen in
21:56
recent memory where that does play a factor.
22:00
That's what it does come down to something so minute like that.
22:05
And it just, it needs to be better.
22:08
It needs to be taught, it needs to be ingrained more.
22:12
And I, I don't know what I mean. We could go down that path
22:15
forever and just talk about how I think baseball has just turned
22:19
into rushing athleticism and not rushing up the, the disciplined
22:25
development and then develop the, the correct development.
22:29
You know, it's just athleticism will take over.
22:32
Athleticism will get us through it.
22:34
We'll, we're OK with 200 strikeouts because athletically
22:37
he's incredible. We're OK with 25 errors at
22:41
shortstop because athletically he's incredible.
22:43
It's like, no, like let's get the fundamentals down.
22:46
Anyway, rant over. Coach Nate.
22:54
Once it's in you guy, it's hard. To I get, no, I get it.
22:57
It's not a it's not a knock. I like having, I like having the
23:01
the analytical eye because honestly, once I got out of the
23:04
game from a playing perspective, I just, I feel like I lost that
23:07
and I'm, I've become more of a fan, but it's good to it's good
23:10
to have that. It's such an analytical eye.
23:14
Such an important aspect. It's such an important and and
23:18
like if you, I think if you're maybe you're a new fan and
23:22
you're and you're, you know, watching us for listening to us
23:25
for the first time. And maybe you're, you know, just
23:29
got caught up and and swept up in this postseason because it's
23:32
been great. And maybe you want to start
23:34
paying deeper, you know, more attention into our game.
23:38
But that's kind of that like next level of what you look for,
23:42
right, and start looking into what makes our game insane.
23:46
It's not just, you know, ball and a stick.
23:50
It's there's so much to it that needs to be paid attention to.
23:59
Then that's the stuff that gets me upset.
24:01
I'm not going to, I'm not going to be the guy that says, why are
24:03
you swinging at that slider in the dirt?
24:05
Because you're probably trying to gear up for 98 on your hands.
24:08
You know what I mean? Like it's that's, that's a
24:11
different aspect to it. It's the little stuff that can
24:14
and should be done the right way.
24:15
That doesn't take a lot of skill set and a proper secondary in a
24:24
tweener line drive to left field with a guy in front of you.
24:33
Well, that's game six you mentioned.
24:36
You mentioned new fans that maybe maybe catching all of
24:42
what's been going on for the first time or they're being
24:46
introduced to this game. Talk about a time to be
24:48
introduced to this game. Fantastic.
24:51
I mean, you've got you've got people.
24:54
I in fact, I had people texting me that I know aren't real
25:00
baseball watchers telling me like, OMG, can't believe that
25:05
just happened. This is unbelievable.
25:07
So on and so forth throughout the entire evening.
25:10
Yeah. And then I saw earlier where,
25:13
you know, Caitlin Clark of all people is tweeting out this is
25:18
the best baseball game I've ever seen.
25:20
Like people, people that you just got to assume aren't, you
25:24
know, 162 people are tuning into this and they're blessed with
25:31
game seven that we saw tonight. And, and I know I, I, I keep
25:35
feel like I'm, I'm repeating myself at this point, but this
25:38
was just such an incredible game.
25:40
Like going back to your point about narratives and and
25:42
storylines, there was so much packed into one game that made
25:50
this game as great as it was. I mean, you can talk about
25:53
getting a vintage Max Scherzer start again, honestly, a start
26:00
that needs to be talked about. I mean, you you don't really
26:03
know what you're going to get from him at this age, at this
26:06
stage of his career. I know he's had some his he's
26:08
had some bright moments this year.
26:10
But in a game seven, you going up against Shohei Otani, another
26:15
narrative, another storyline here.
26:16
Like, yeah, the game's greatest player getting the ball to start
26:20
game seven of the World Series, the Beau Bichette Homer, Treya
26:25
Savage talking about calling something.
26:28
What did I say? I said in his last start he was
26:30
going to put what I think it was pitch into the 7th and then
26:33
you're going to see him in relief in game seven.
26:36
We saw him in relief in Game 7. Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
26:41
Well, I think he deserves his own segment some time on that.
26:45
I'll, I'll keep the list moving, but my goodness, what a what a
26:49
series. The Miguel Rojas Homer, the Max
26:54
Muncie Homer, the Miguel Rojas play at the plate where he
26:57
almost fell over and the the series would have been over.
27:01
The Andy Pajez Kike Hernandez catch.
27:03
You talked about the Will Smith World Series winning Homer.
27:08
Clayton Kershaw getting a ring honestly was a basket case out
27:14
in the pen. I don't know if you saw.
27:15
Yeah, he was going. Nuts dude.
27:18
Dude he was. He was not getting in and just
27:20
full emotion. Was it well did was it just me
27:24
or did what, what, who, what, which Homer was it?
27:27
Was it the IT would had to been the Will Smith Homer where he's
27:32
like he's like Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh.
27:35
Did I see him or did I not see him?
27:38
I thought he made like a beeline over to the the actual like
27:43
bullpen mound area or at least the general vicinity where he
27:47
would have warmed up. Was he was he getting ready at
27:50
any point? I.
27:51
Don't know if he was getting ready.
27:53
Because I I thought I saw at some point he was at the very
27:57
least getting loose. I think it felt like in in no
28:00
disrespect to Kershaw, but it felt like if if the blue, if the
28:04
Blue Jays were going to pull this off and the Dodgers were
28:07
willing to lose it, it was probably with Yamamoto on the
28:09
mound. No, he did get loose.
28:11
That's right. I remember he was getting loose
28:14
in conjunction with Sasaki. So they were both, they're both
28:17
getting hot. Well, maybe not getting hot, but
28:19
at the very least getting loose. So I mean.
28:22
Man, I I didn't think Yamamoto was going to come back out.
28:28
No, I mean, we can get into him in a minute, but I I agree.
28:32
I mean, and you didn't mention. Vladdy.
28:34
Like Vladdy. Vladdy having.
28:36
Ernie Clement breaking the post season hit record.
28:40
Is that was it, was it franchise record or was it actually No, I
28:45
think it was an entire post it all together.
28:54
No, not Ernie Clemente. First player in baseball history
29:00
with 30 hits in a single post season.
29:05
That. This tweet says they've only
29:07
been playing the sport 150 years.
29:10
That's. That's crazy.
29:12
That's something else, right? And then you saw.
29:17
And and real quick on the Ernie Clement thing.
29:19
That's such a beautiful counter to the, you know, the Dodgers
29:24
narrative that people love to push.
29:25
And I understand why they do it. You know, I saw, I've already
29:29
seen countless. This World Series was bought,
29:32
not earned. OK, if if that's the approach
29:35
you want to take, so be it. It's not going to die anytime
29:39
soon. It's not going to die anytime
29:40
soon, and if that's approach you want to take, then take it.
29:43
But it's such a beautiful counter when you see a guy like
29:46
Ernie Clement, of all people. Ernie Clement.
29:50
Like, let that sink in. Ernie Clement of all of the
29:53
names. Unknown.
29:55
No disrespect, that's a no name coming in this World Series.
29:59
The ultimate of no disrespects, the star power, the MVPS, the
30:06
MVP potentials in this series, Ernie Clements, the guy to take
30:11
that record, that's. It's such a just beautiful
30:14
demonstration, beautiful example of, oh, why we love this game so
30:19
much. Ernie Clement, you go, dude.
30:28
I mean it's just kind of all over the place.
30:29
I know we're all over the place. I'm sure you're all over the
30:31
place. We just finished this freaking
30:33
game. You know, Jeff Hoffman, who had
30:41
been shaky down the stretch. He re earned the closing
30:44
position and that's kind of that like as a Blue Jays fan, I think
30:49
we you guys know that like that worst fear in the back of your
30:52
mind of like like I've seen this guy that is worse like I hope he
30:57
holds it down. I hope those days are behind him
30:59
and then you know, it is what it is.
31:02
I think that home run can come off anybody, but like that
31:06
that's tough. You know, Sir Anthony Dominguez,
31:10
like that's a transaction that you made at the deadline.
31:12
Like, you know, like there was just somewhat ran out of steam
31:21
in in that in that Blue Jay bullpen, you know, Shane Bieber
31:26
deadline acquisition. You know, that's it's another
31:31
tough Homer. Like it's.
31:33
It well, did you I was going to ask you, did you feel like at
31:37
any point tonight that I mean, aside from the game obviously
31:42
being over, did you feel as though there was any real moment
31:45
in the game where you're like, they lost the game.
31:51
It's only a matter of time before this game is over and
31:54
they lost the game because I feel like even the even the
31:57
moments like a Max Muncie Homer or you know, like the Jeff
32:02
Hoffman giving that up. It's just like, that's just
32:04
baseball. I don't feel like this was, I
32:07
agree, a blown situation necessarily or like they just
32:10
handed it over kind of thing. No, I don't think so.
32:13
I I think it was more so for me at least, like if we're just if
32:17
we get to play Monday morning quarterback and kind of sit back
32:20
and like look at the roster as a whole, like I, I understand it's
32:26
game seven. I understand, you know, going
32:30
the length, I understand starters getting put in the
32:35
game, But like in reality, I, it's hard to say that that is a
32:47
better move than just having relievers that you can trust,
32:52
because those are the scenarios that they're they're always in,
32:56
right. Asking a starter at the end of
33:00
his season to get you a couple out of the bullpen, not having
33:05
the normal routine, not having the normal, you know, days off.
33:08
And I get it. You can sit there and say, Oh,
33:09
this, they're professional athletes.
33:11
They should be able to just adapt to any scenario.
33:13
But pitchers are a little weird, you know, and I, I think the you
33:20
go, you go back to, you know, the Red Sox World Series of like
33:23
seeing Chris Sale close it down and you're like, that had like a
33:27
substantial like it that stuck. It like stood out in my mind.
33:31
You know what I mean? Seeing so many starting pitchers
33:37
because of the lack of depth in the bullpen was interesting.
33:43
And that was a different side of the game that I, I don't think
33:47
either team going into it would prefer to be in that situation.
33:51
Yamamoto is a different story. I think Yamamoto was
33:55
otherworldly during this, during this World Series, but like to
33:59
see so many other starters to have to rely on that so much.
34:04
I think both bullpens were depleted.
34:06
And I don't think, I mean, the Blue Jays are right there that
34:11
they got all the way to that point, but that's the way they
34:13
used their bullpen the entire post season.
34:18
It was like this just Schneider managed to hit the right button
34:22
the whole time. And I'm not saying even hit the
34:24
wrong button. Like you said, it's just like
34:25
baseball happens. But it's it was interesting.
34:29
It was interesting to see and and like ideally, I think when
34:34
you're building a bullpen at the deadline to make a deep run into
34:38
the postseason, it's hard to imagine saying we we gave up a
34:43
home run with no disrespect, we give up a home run to Shane Beat
34:48
would with Shane Bieber on the bump versus like that nails
34:52
reliever that we got at the deadline.
34:54
You know what I'm saying? Does that make sense?
34:57
Yeah, I don't know if I'm being too nitpicky and I I get that
35:01
it's game seven. You throw everything in the
35:03
kitchen sink at it. I just think if you were to like
35:06
sit back and like unplug for a second, say, like, you know, is
35:11
that the most ideal situation that you would want yourself to
35:14
be in if you're the Blue Jays? And I don't think it is.
35:17
No, but I think I think in a situation like that though,
35:22
you're you, I feel like you have to throw structure out the
35:26
window. You have to throw, you know,
35:28
Norm like what guys are used to out the window and just have to
35:33
look at it as though you have to get 27 outs.
35:37
And if I'm the if I'm the Blue Jays, no disrespect to anybody
35:40
in their pen, but I think I want to take my chances that like
35:45
there's a reason these guys have been so are good, have been so
35:49
good throughout their career. And to your point, it's not,
35:53
it's not a normal circumstance or situation for them to be in,
35:57
but I feel like I would, I would rather go down swinging with a
36:04
guy like Shane Bieber on the bump as opposed to XYZ reliever,
36:09
even if they've been locked down, even if that's their
36:13
normal, you know, you know, window of the game that they're,
36:18
they're poised for. So that's why it's I, I, I, I'll
36:24
say this. I see both sides of it.
36:25
I think I think you're right. But get a Game 7 is like, we
36:30
just don't see them all that often, you know, and we
36:33
especially don't see game sevens in the World Series all that
36:37
often. So it's, it's just I, I think
36:41
it's tough. I, I'm unbiased, I, it doesn't
36:44
affect me either way of who would have won this thing, But I
36:46
think it's, it's just interesting to sit back and, and
36:49
look at that and understand why GM's attack the deadline the way
36:53
they do. And it was just interesting that
36:56
we saw two teams with very shaky bullpens.
37:01
Then we saw the bullpens being, you know, that there's no
37:07
toothpaste less than that left than that tube.
37:08
You know what I'm saying? Like we got all of it out that
37:10
we could, we squeezed everything out that we had to rely on our
37:14
rotations to get get us across the finish line.
37:17
Like it's just, it's interesting to pay attention to that anyway,
37:21
but. I mean, as a as a neutral fan in
37:27
this particular series, I loved it.
37:30
Like seeing like your big your big guns roll out of the pen.
37:34
I'm like. Snell coming out.
37:35
Like just the talent that was coming through those bullpen
37:42
doors tonight on just unbelievable.
37:46
And I got to say, Speaking of a a neutral fan, I got to shout
37:50
out this comment on this on our on the post that I put out
37:54
tonight where I put out one of my tweets where I said, Simply
38:00
put, one of the greatest game sevens you're ever going to see.
38:04
And I got to shout out Keith Blake, this was on Facebook.
38:08
You know, this is rare. You find it, you find a quality
38:10
comment on Facebook. Usually it's there's.
38:13
A lot of warriors on Facebook. Usually it's just toxic waste,
38:19
but shout out to Keith Blake, he said.
38:22
Absolutely gluttonous for the neutral baseball fan.
38:25
Everything and more from the whole series.
38:28
And then they give us that gem and I said, couldn't have said
38:33
it better. Yeah to everything, dude.
38:37
Yeah, to everything. Truly, I and I, I'm really I, I
38:42
genuinely do not think I'm being a victim of the moment here.
38:46
Genuinely think you you saw about everything you could see
38:53
as it pertains to baseball. The game of baseball packed into
38:57
one game. Yeah, I think that was, I think
39:01
that was one of the best World Series I've ever watched and the
39:05
best game seven I've ever watched, hands down, because it
39:09
didn't go too far, you know what I'm saying?
39:11
Like if it went like 16 innings and I'm like, all right, like,
39:15
you know what I mean? And it probably would have been
39:16
excellent. But it's like there wasn't a
39:19
lull. There was no lull.
39:21
It went to extra innings. It was still intense.
39:24
There wasn't like this like, oh, they went hitless for three
39:28
innings. You know what I mean?
39:29
Like it because that gave me that that 18 inning game did
39:32
have a lull where it was like, holy crap.
39:35
So I'm going to get it out of the infield.
39:36
You know what I mean? This, this had no lull.
39:41
This had no lull. It was just excellent baseball.
39:45
Let's talk our MVP, dude, and let's talk that.
39:48
Where's that receipt? Where's that receipt?
39:52
You've had your fair, I'll give you credit, man, You've had your
39:55
fair share of receipts this this World Series.
39:57
That one felt good. I'm proud of that one.
40:01
I am proud of that one. You know what, let me just see
40:04
if I can find it on the spot here.
40:05
And while I do that, why don't you, why don't you tell us just
40:09
about what you saw from Yoshinobu Yamamoto tonight?
40:14
Freaking guts. Just guts, dude.
40:20
I mean, let's go through the lines.
40:22
Let's go through the lines here. So when did he he threw?
40:28
Did he throw game one? No, those are Tani.
40:37
They didn't even throw game 20. I'm looking at the Phillies
40:39
series. That's why.
40:40
What am I doing? Get together.
40:44
All right, there we go. So game one.
40:49
Little bit of a clunker from Snell Game 2.
40:54
Let's bounce back, right, Let's get back on the on the grind.
40:58
Sure, we'll just throw ACG 1 earned 8 KS, four hits.
41:05
Game three warmed up for game 3, by the way.
41:10
And I don't I don't know if that's going to be talked about,
41:13
but the fact that he was willing to go and warm up and like Dave
41:18
Roberts comes out and says, yeah, that was the next button
41:21
being pressed because there was no other button to press.
41:24
That was the next button being pressed after going CG.
41:28
Let's roll them out there for the 18 inning game.
41:33
Game six, excellent. I mean, like I hate saying only
41:39
6 innings, but still. Was that game six?
41:46
Game five? Sorry, no.
41:48
Game six. No, it was game six.
41:50
Yeah, back-to-back nights, Game 6.
41:52
Like which hits which five hits one earn one walk, 6 KS.
42:00
Which, if you remember, and I'm about to play it, that was all
42:04
that it would have taken from you to get your MVP nod.
42:08
I agree, didn't even need this. And then he came back out in
42:12
Game 7 and did this. Here's your receipt.
42:14
Hold on, let me see if this will play. 8 plus strikeouts or
42:18
whatever. We're going to chalk this up as
42:20
one of the best pitching performances in World Series
42:23
history, win or lose. I have no doubt that he will,
42:29
which is hold on. Then or.
42:33
Here we go, my stock. For you just shot through the
42:36
roof did for him with that, I'm going to throw out.
42:40
I'm going to throw out not necessarily a prediction or
42:44
maybe somewhat of a take, but just just the receipt, a safety
42:48
receipt, if you will, just in case we need to go back on this.
42:52
If Yamamoto goes out strong Friday, I'll say if Yamamoto
42:59
goes 7 plus and the Dodgers come back and win this thing, he's my
43:06
MVP. He's been unbelievable.
43:14
I mean, you're what, 6? Yeah, but then he gives you
43:17
what? He gives you what, tonight 2?
43:19
And a third, two and 2/3, something like that tonight.
43:21
Unbelievable, man. Like that stuff that legends are
43:24
made of. What what Yoshinobu Yamamoto
43:26
did, that stuff that legends are made out of.
43:29
And honestly, what was going through my mind really for the
43:34
games that he was in. I'm sitting there thinking, I
43:38
think people need to remember this is a guy that operated on 6
43:42
days of rest typically. And look, I know, I know that
43:46
people are gonna, well, the, the classic, they're professional
43:50
athletes. They get paid millions of
43:52
dollars to play a kids game. I know, I know.
43:57
But even more so, we're talking about a guy that typically
44:04
required for much of his career has required another day of
44:07
rest. And you can call it soft, you
44:09
can call it whatever. That's just been his MO.
44:11
That's been the way that he's played the game.
44:14
That's the way that he's developed as a pitcher.
44:16
So you take that into account and the fact that he came out
44:20
the literal next night after going 6IN Game 6 and that was
44:27
only how many days after the the CGI mean.
44:31
Just like what else could you do?
44:37
But what's up your cap man? That's the what a what?
44:40
A series. So Game 6 was last night Friday,
44:45
right? Yeah, and he threw.
44:50
I'm losing track of my days Game 2 and.
44:56
Also, we just. Moved we just Saturday.
45:00
So I mean that's it's five day rest, normal rest, but still
45:04
it's it's the fact that I I think it's just the I don't
45:09
know, man, I think there's a lot of competitors out there that
45:13
are like, yeah, give me the ball.
45:15
I'm willing to go the next day. I think we we still talk about
45:19
CC and his performance with Milwaukee when he got traded
45:23
over there. Like it's it's that willingness
45:26
to like give me the ball. But we like we saw it.
45:30
It wasn't like a verbal thing. It wasn't like Dave Roberts
45:33
saying, oh, Yamamoto came to me and we were willing to do.
45:37
He was in the bullpen getting hot.
45:39
He was ready to roll the very next day after throwing ACG and
45:46
then again goes 6. How many pitches did he throw on
45:52
Friday? Friday Load man 96 pitches. 96
46:10
pitches. Crazy man, the highs and lows of
46:16
this game. We love like I again, you, you
46:21
and I are sort of all over the place right now.
46:22
But I'm just I'm looking right now at I was trying to get the
46:26
final line for Vladdy for this postseason and I'm just seeing
46:32
the most gut wrenching like he oh man, this, this dude was torn
46:38
up. But 18 games for Vlade this
46:41
postseason. Slash 397-490-4795 Eight homers,
46:47
15 RB is 313 extra base hits, 29 hits and all.
46:53
Even that what inning was that? That double that he hit down the
46:57
line? And on the hands.
47:00
Oh yeah. Pulling the hands in, barreling
47:04
just enough to get it down the line.
47:06
Like that second diving play at first.
47:09
Oh my goodness, I. Think it was foul but like still
47:12
like that catch, it was just he. I I got to say.
47:18
Every year and a lot of respect for me, I've been I've been
47:24
wondering where, where's the movie, if you will?
47:28
I know we're tired of that, but the paycheck was making me
47:33
wonder. We didn't see like a truly like
47:36
wow, $400 million, whatever. What was his final five hundred
47:42
$500 million regular season? I just I didn't see it out of
47:47
him but he basically put up like one of the best post seasons
47:55
I've ever seen. I don't think that's an
47:59
exaggeration. No, again, not I verbally, I, I
48:04
have to say, I think we saw I, I think we saw Vlady Junior mature
48:10
before our eyes in this World Series alone.
48:14
Like I feel like I saw a guy that was willing.
48:18
I hate using this analogy, but I feel like we saw a guy that was
48:22
willing to go to war for the guys in that clubhouse and he
48:29
backed it up. Like he showed up.
48:31
This isn't the guy that just collected his paycheck and was
48:35
like, I'm cool with this, if we get a ring in the process, so be
48:39
it, but I'm chilling. No, this was a guy that made it
48:43
very abundantly clear that he was going to do everything that
48:49
was within his power to help bring a World Series back to
48:51
Toronto. And they fell again.
48:54
And I'm not, I'm not pinning this on one play or one moment,
48:57
but when you look at it as closely under the microscope as
49:01
you can, they were two inches away from winning the World
49:06
Series. I mean, that's as cool.
49:09
That is literally as close as you can get to winning the World
49:12
Series without winning it. Unbelievable.
49:20
Unbelievable. Real quick, while I'm thinking
49:21
of it, talking about talking about fantastic performances do
49:25
not want, I do not want to conclude this this episode
49:32
without mentioning Louis Varland.
49:35
I know I mentioned it in our fantasy group chat.
49:40
That dude is a dog. And I like whether or not, you
49:43
know, he had a legendary postseason or a mediocre
49:48
postseason. To me, that's not important.
49:51
To me, what was most impressive about what he did and setting
49:55
the record for most appearances in a postseason was the simple
49:59
fact that he took the ball like this wasn't a guy that was like
50:02
Skip I I just, I can't, I can't. Yeah, he he did well, but it's,
50:08
it was not a situation of him being like Skip I I just can't
50:11
go tonight. Like, you know, I I'm giving you
50:15
everything I can, but I just need He took the ball in all but
50:20
one postseason game for the Blue Jays.
50:23
That's insane. And I'll, I'll be the first guy
50:27
to get on relievers and be like, come on, we can go, we can go 2
50:33
days in a row. Like I understand it's Max
50:36
velocity for a lot of these guys, but let's be, let's be so
50:40
serious right now. You guys can go more you, we, we
50:44
can go consecutive days. And he went all but one game.
50:53
He went the whole month of October just crazy.
50:58
So I got to got to tip my cap there to to Louis Varlin, you
51:02
know? Yeah, definitely.
51:07
They they didn't lose this series because of one guy, but
51:09
they most certainly did not lose it because of Louis Varlin.
51:12
I'll say that. Yeah, yeah, What else we got,
51:20
man, I mean. That boba shit, Homer, yeah,
51:24
going back to earlier in the game that I wanted so badly for
51:32
that to be his moment. And it it was.
51:36
And I saw some, I saw some people going back and forth in
51:39
the comments being like that, you win or lose, that does not
51:42
take away from this moment. He's going to remember that for
51:44
the rest of his life. Surely he's going to look back
51:46
on it a little differently given the outcome.
51:50
But man, what a like for a guy, him and George Springer, which I
51:55
don't think we've we've necessarily mentioned yet
51:59
regarding just battling this series.
52:03
Yeah, we had some stuff going. Major, major respect.
52:08
Mad props to both of those guys. I.
52:13
Wanted to watch the Boba Shet home run again 'cause that was a
52:16
good pimp job too. Oh, the bad drops.
52:19
So clean. So clean.
52:23
Possibly his last Big Blue Jays moment.
52:29
I want it so badly for that to be his.
52:32
If you're new, by the way, we will be getting into a full
52:36
season recap and we will be getting into everything
52:39
throughout the whole offseason. So we're not going anywhere, by
52:42
the way. Great plug.
52:44
Yeah, yeah, man, just like I'm just going to.
52:51
I, I created a list of things that I wanted to make sure we
52:55
covered. I know we mentioned it briefly,
52:57
but Miguel Rojas, the Dodgers, 9th.
53:02
The Dodgers simply do not win this World Series without Miguel
53:04
Rojas, as simple as that. Which Which, coming into this
53:09
World Series, would have been the last thing that I thought
53:13
I'd be saying. Yeah, that's, I mean the.
53:18
Again, that's the beautiful thing about this game that we
53:20
love. Miguel Rojas and Ernie Clement
53:23
being two key pivotal figures in this World Series.
53:29
Yeah, crazy man, Crazy. Great stuff.
53:39
Great, great, great World Series.
53:42
And I know going back it I, it's obviously easy to say now, but
53:46
we were absolutely spot on by saying that the Blue Jays were
53:50
going to give the Dodgers a better run than what the
53:54
Mariners could have done. No disrespect to the Mariners,
53:57
but like, I just don't think we would have gotten this World
54:00
Series. This was absolutely excellent.
54:07
I think, I think of the four LCS teams, this was going to be your
54:14
best bang for your buck without a doubt.
54:17
And I, I think, I don't think I need to explain why or, or state
54:22
my case. I think you saw that tonight in
54:25
Game 7 and for the duration of this entire World Series.
54:29
Yeah, I, I, I, I have a new found respect for the Blue Jays.
54:35
Likewise, new found respect because again, they played the
54:44
last three plus months the incredible baseball, excellent
54:52
baseball. It's just, it's so refreshing to
54:59
see and not to, you know, beat a dead horse, but I it's just so
55:05
refreshing to see two teams willing go ahead and say what
55:13
you want about paying for World Series pain to be in the dance.
55:18
Let's not forget the the the Blue Jays are top five in
55:21
payroll as well. But it's so refreshing to see
55:25
two teams that are willing to do what it takes to take the
55:31
necessary measures to give themselves the best chance to
55:35
win a World Series. And it took every last game to
55:41
make it happen. But it was just so refreshing to
55:45
watch that and not to I mean, you, I gave you a, a, a Yankee
55:50
card this episode to to drop a little Yankees reference in.
55:54
I'm going to make a Red Sox reference here.
55:55
If, if you'll, if you'll allow it.
55:58
I'm we're sitting here watching this World Series unfold.
56:03
And meanwhile, I'm hearing about how the Red Sox are already
56:06
talking about how they're not going to be able to afford XY
56:09
and Z player this offseason and that we really need to temper
56:12
our expectations. So that's the kind of that's the
56:15
kind of stuff that's us, us fans, US fans that don't have
56:20
dogs, that didn't have a dog in this fight.
56:22
That's what we get to go back to now and the gloomy days of the
56:25
offseason. But yeah, man, this, I, I mean,
56:29
we could go on and on about how great this this series was.
56:34
Trying to think, by the way, if, if DVDs were still a thing, this
56:38
would be a DVD that I would purchase and watch again.
56:41
Oh yeah, if I was a Dodger fan, I'd be like, I'm buying this DVD
56:44
bro 'cause I could watch. It's like, this is the greatest
56:48
first season of a show this is I've ever seen.
56:53
I would watch that show over and over again.
56:56
Yeah, petition to bring back the World Series DVDs.
57:02
I'm in on that. No way.
57:04
Where we plug them in, I don't know what, where do we put them
57:07
into, you know? The consoles, yeah, I think PS
57:12
the the Playstations, that the Xboxes, they'll still, they'll
57:15
still, they'll still pump out. Do get the PS2 by the way.
57:19
Again, if you're new, this isn't the normal setup.
57:22
It'll get better. Behind me, the backdrop will
57:24
look less like a storage closet. He moved into his new office
57:30
digs. Yeah, it'll change soon.
57:36
It'll change soon for Clayton Kershaw.
57:38
I know we mentioned that new chapter of life he's about to
57:42
embark upon, but great to see that moment.
57:47
Great. Great to see it wrap up for him
57:49
this way. Great World Series moment,
57:52
important World Series moment. Not a forced World Series
58:00
moment, You know what I mean? Could you have a mat?
58:04
Could you imagine if he had got, if he had been brought in to
58:09
close that thing out? That would have been, I don't
58:14
know if he would have got through it, but that would have
58:16
been insane if it was a little more of a laugher.
58:25
Another receipt you had, though. Another receipt you had.
58:29
Hold on. I got the quote.
58:30
I got the quote. It was you're talking about
58:37
Kershaw. You're talking.
58:38
Well, you're talking specifically about Dave Roberts.
58:41
Yeah, But you said, where is it? You said Dave Roberts can't help
58:47
but pay attention to narratives as it relates to Clayton
58:50
Kershaw. And you said, you're basically
58:51
just like, I don't think he'll be able to help himself if
58:53
presented with the right opportunity.
58:55
And he was real close. Yeah, real close.
58:58
Yeah, I, by the way, I guess, you know, kind of my closing
59:06
thoughts on it. I think we've been hard on Dave
59:08
Roberts in the past for I think valid reasons.
59:14
I thought he did a really, really good job managing this
59:18
World Series. I agree.
59:22
Think of too many instances where I disagreed.
59:27
And look, I, he's, I feel like we've had this conversation
59:32
before, but he like, it's easy to look at Dave Roberts and be
59:38
like, how hard could it be to manage that team?
59:42
But as much on the flip side, there's a lot of pressure there
59:50
because if you don't do what he's done the last two years,
59:55
there's people calling for your job.
59:58
So. Again, you can look at Dave
1:00:01
Roberts situation and be like, you know, I mean, he's got
1:00:05
Otani, Yamamoto, Freeman bets, the list goes on and on.
1:00:11
How hard could it really be? Well, if you fall short with
1:00:15
that roster, good luck to you. But yeah, man, kind of kind of
1:00:23
wrapping it up here with the the Will Smith Homer.
1:00:29
Even when that happened, I, I genuinely thought I told I told
1:00:35
Meredith when, when how did they tie it up the Miguel Rojas
1:00:43
summer when Miguel Rojas tied it up, I said, there's the Blue
1:00:47
Jays are still going to win this game.
1:00:49
And before I could even explain why she she was like this home
1:00:55
field advantage is just going to be too much like for the for the
1:00:59
Dodgers. And I said yeah, like I this
1:01:01
play and I my quote exactly was the Rogers Center is a gunpowder
1:01:07
keg waiting to explode. And we came so close to it.
1:01:13
But then when Will Smith decided to show up to fulfill the Will
1:01:18
Smith prophecy? Oh my gosh, it's never ending.
1:01:21
It lives on. Yeah, they someone needs to add
1:01:25
the reliever Will Smith to a coaching staff somewhere, just
1:01:29
in case. Just just in case, Yeah.
1:01:33
And if the team he gets added to, the staff he gets added to
1:01:36
is out of it by the All Star break, can we somehow maybe
1:01:40
trade? Yeah.
1:01:42
Trade a coach. Trade a coach.
1:01:45
To a contender, no man, but awesome moment for Will Smith.
1:01:50
Awesome, awesome way to to wrap this thing up man.
1:01:53
What a what a game, what a series.
1:01:56
And our last our our our new, most recent repeat World Series
1:02:04
winner. Haven't seen it in 25 years.
1:02:07
Back in bracket man. Tell me our game is scripted.
1:02:12
Go ahead and try to tell me. Can't.
1:02:18
It ain't. That's again, to go back to the
1:02:23
two inches thing. We were two inches away from the
1:02:28
Dodgers not being able to quote ruin baseball.
1:02:31
And I get it that they won, but like it.
1:02:34
That shows you how much of A game of inches that this sport
1:02:39
can be and is people are saying, well, Dodgers are just going to
1:02:44
buy their way to another trophy, to another World Series trophy.
1:02:47
2 inches, yeah. It's crazy stuff.
1:02:52
Well, what do we, what do we got?
1:02:55
We're probably going to take a mini break, right?
1:03:01
Like. Take a little breather, yeah,
1:03:04
we'll play it. We'll play it by ear.
1:03:06
Have to get AI think a maybe some kind of recap.
1:03:13
I I like the idea of touching on our hot takes episode.
1:03:18
Yeah, we did that last year. I like that.
1:03:20
I like that. Just kind of go back and reflect
1:03:22
to see how much things have changed or how wrong or correct
1:03:27
we were, which is rare, but yeah.
1:03:31
And then like I said, if you're new, we we're going to keep this
1:03:35
thing rolling all offseason. Not entirely sure what it's
1:03:39
going to look like or or what days, but we don't go anywhere.
1:03:43
We're going to stay with it. We have a ton of managerial
1:03:47
changes to cover already. We have a lot to to go over.
1:03:53
So and then before you know it, it's going to be winter meetings
1:03:57
and transactions are going to be happening.
1:03:59
Trades and free agent signing. So we'll be here the whole
1:04:02
offseason. If you don't watch, I recommend
1:04:06
it. YouTube is is something we're
1:04:09
trying to build. So if you want to hit us up on
1:04:11
that, hit some subscribe and we're going to do some fun
1:04:16
stuff. We're going to shake things up
1:04:18
slightly in this offseason. We're going to do a lot of new
1:04:21
and fun things and hope you hope you hop on.
1:04:28
Another season in the books, my friend.
1:04:30
Season the books man, this is season 7 for us.
1:04:34
Season 7, You know, I moved. It's crazy.
1:04:37
I moved to Arizona yesterday. Eight years ago.
1:04:40
Yesterday. Did you really?
1:04:42
I moved to Arizona. Yeah.
1:04:45
The nuts flown by. I had hair back then.
1:04:49
A lot. A lot has.
1:04:51
Changed in the time we've been doing this, but it's been a
1:04:55
pleasure. Yeah, man.
1:04:57
But no, you're right. If you're new and you're
1:05:01
wondering what what happens once the offseason hits, it's more
1:05:06
the same. We will be here, we'll be
1:05:08
talking ball, we'll be talking a lot of non ball stuff too.
1:05:13
We we like to get weird in the offseason.
1:05:16
Frankly, that's when. We do get weird.
1:05:20
That's that's when some of our best sides come out, our best
1:05:23
material, best content. I you know, I have to say it,
1:05:27
that it has to be the offseason, but you know, it's.
1:05:29
It's fun. We set the bar high for the
1:05:32
offseason. It gets.
1:05:33
It gets fun. It gets weird.
1:05:34
Sprinkle of non baseball stuff too so.
1:05:37
That's what I'm saying. Yeah, we, we talk ball, we talk
1:05:40
a lot of non ball stuff. But yeah, we're we're looking
1:05:44
forward to it. Appreciate all of you who have
1:05:47
stuck around with us for the duration of the season, even
1:05:51
those of you that maybe joined on a little late, maybe even
1:05:53
those of you that just tacked on for the the postseason.
1:05:56
Maybe those of you that tacked on for even just the World
1:05:59
Series. Maybe those of you that even
1:06:01
just discovered us for Game 7 because you're like, I love this
1:06:04
baseball thing. Where can I, where can I?
1:06:08
You know, we're going to get more of it.
1:06:10
You're welcome in. I love you.
1:06:12
I'm going to cradle you. I'm going to hold you tight.
1:06:21
I got to work on that. Beautifully said.
1:06:23
Yeah. Beautifully said.
1:06:26
That's it, guy. That's it, man, another season
1:06:29
in the books, Like I said, we'll, we'll play it by ear.
1:06:32
We it's, it's always hard to tell how how we bounce back from
1:06:36
a, a World Series finale. Sometimes we take a little bit
1:06:41
of a breather. Sometimes we just jump right
1:06:43
into a recap and and kind of get the control in there.
1:06:46
But we'll be back nonetheless. But other than that, that's all
1:06:52
I got. Don't.
1:06:54
Go chasing curve balls. We love you all as always.
1:06:57
Looking forward to talking more baseball with you guys soon.
1:06:59
Until next time, stay filthy.
