2:05
Speaker 1: They've got that mobile tire installation again, ti iraq dot
2:08
Speaker 1: com the way tire buying should be. So hey, this
2:12
Speaker 1: is cool. We're allowed to talk baseball. We are allowed
2:14
Speaker 1: to talk baseball the playoffs or underway. The flag is
2:18
Speaker 1: up and we're off to the races. We'll start out
2:21
Speaker 1: our in depth team coverage, which is me and my
2:24
Speaker 1: many personalities, and we'll start out in Los Angeles. It
2:28
Speaker 1: was the wild Card Round. It was an all day situation,
2:33
Speaker 1: starting at one o'clock eastern ten am on the West coast,
2:37
Speaker 1: baseball action all the way into the wee hours of
2:40
Speaker 1: the night. Well actually we're on in the wee hours
2:42
Speaker 1: of the night. But the Wildcard Round we had games
2:44
Speaker 1: starting in Cleveland. There were four games, two in the
2:46
Speaker 1: American League, two in the National League. Baseball action underway,
2:51
Speaker 1: and so we'll start with the last game. I don't
2:53
Speaker 1: know if you saw it or not. It ended not
2:57
Speaker 1: that long ago. Perhaps you were not watching, if you
3:01
Speaker 1: had something else going on. I don't know, but don't worry.
3:04
Speaker 1: We watched so you would not have to. I wasted
3:06
Speaker 1: an entire day of my life watching these Wildcard games.
3:09
Speaker 1: So anyway, now, show hey, Otani, show, I'll be bet
3:13
Speaker 1: on two home runs. Otani and Tao Hernandez each had
3:18
Speaker 1: two home runs. And that schmuck Blake smell a Snell
3:22
Speaker 1: who smells Blake Snell fits seven innings of quality ball.
3:27
Speaker 1: The Dodgers molly wopped the reds Now. The final score
3:31
Speaker 1: was ten to five. The Dodgers was the perfect game
3:34
Speaker 1: for the Dodgers because it was a ten to five game.
3:36
Speaker 1: They were up. It was ten to two at one point,
3:39
Speaker 1: and they allowed the Reds to get some runs. There.
3:43
Speaker 1: More on that in a second. But the wildcard game
3:45
Speaker 1: game one, it's best of three. Remember, so if you
3:47
Speaker 1: win the first game, you only have to win one
3:49
Speaker 1: of the next two and you have advanced into the
3:52
Speaker 1: divisional round of the playoffs. These Fugasey playoffs, they added
3:56
Speaker 1: some extra teams years ago, and they continued to do that.
3:59
Speaker 1: So let us discuss question. Does this domination count as
4:05
Speaker 1: a statement victory for the Dodgers? All right, so on
4:09
Speaker 1: this one, I've got windmills, dirty water, and ringworm, and
4:15
Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we
4:19
Speaker 1: are going to make some soggy ballpark nachos. So I
4:23
Speaker 1: opened up my my inbox, which is a you know,
4:26
Speaker 1: generally a mistake to open up the EMFO. I finally
4:29
Speaker 1: had to block someone who just was harassing me via email,
4:32
Speaker 1: just a loser. So I blocked that. Finally able to
4:34
Speaker 1: get through my email, which is good, and I was
4:38
Speaker 1: getting the huh, you're gonna apologize, Ben? You see the
4:42
Speaker 1: Dodgers a big deregive apologize. Yeah, A bunch of Andrews
4:47
Speaker 1: and baker Field in Bakersfield, out there doing this not
4:50
Speaker 1: just so hey. To answer the question, does this count
4:53
Speaker 1: as a statement win? The Dodgers getting ten runs, fifteen hits,
4:58
Speaker 1: never in any real danger against the Cincinnati Reds in
5:01
Speaker 1: Game one of the Wildcard Round, My answer is three words, no, no,
5:07
Speaker 1: and no. That's my answer. All right, stop it just stop?
5:13
Speaker 1: Is it amateur hour? Is that what we're doing now?
5:15
Speaker 1: It's not a statement that was a formality. That was
5:19
Speaker 1: a formality. When you're the heavyweight champion of the World,
5:22
Speaker 1: the raining World Series champion, and you're walking and here's
5:26
Speaker 1: the Dodge is walking in to the ring, and the
5:29
Speaker 1: Reds in this matchup are glass Joe. That's who the
5:34
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Reds are. They're glass Joe. They're playing with house money.
5:38
Speaker 1: The Reds are not even supposed to be here. The
5:40
Speaker 1: only reason that got in is because the Mets blow
5:43
Speaker 1: and lost their final game against the Marlins. So you're
5:47
Speaker 1: supposed to land a bunch of haymakers, and the Dodgers did.
5:50
Speaker 1: It's the equivalent of announcing to the world I've won
5:54
Speaker 1: the Masters. WHOA I won the Masters? All right? And
5:59
Speaker 1: then you look at the details you're like, well, you
6:01
Speaker 1: won the Masters, but it was at a pitch and
6:03
Speaker 1: putt course and there were lots of windmills and fake volcanoes.
6:07
Speaker 1: Whoop de damn do congratulating like the Dodgers are the
6:12
Speaker 1: gambling favorites here. They have a roster that is a
6:15
Speaker 1: galactic empire type roster when you look at the payroll
6:19
Speaker 1: and who they've got. If anything, though, this was the
6:23
Speaker 1: perfect kind of a night if you're doing talk radio.
6:26
Speaker 1: Because the Dodgers won. I don't want the Dodgers to lose.
6:29
Speaker 1: I like them to win. I don't think they have
6:31
Speaker 1: any chance going forward with the way this team is
6:33
Speaker 1: set up because they have a fatal flaw and they
6:36
Speaker 1: don't avoid the fatal flaw. The underlying condition popped up
6:41
Speaker 1: in this game, so that will could it pop up
6:42
Speaker 1: if you didn't watch The game was ten to five
6:44
Speaker 1: Dodgers one. They were never really in any danger but
6:47
Speaker 1: that bullpen. If they were a professional arrest of the bullpen,
6:51
Speaker 1: their name would be el Stinko, the Dodger bullpen. They
6:54
Speaker 1: walked in two runs. They have no balls. The Dodger
6:58
Speaker 1: bullpen has no ball. They're afraid to throw strikes when
7:02
Speaker 1: they have an eight run lead. What the f is
7:05
Speaker 1: wrong with those losers? You walked in two runs in
7:10
Speaker 1: the eighth inning, two different relief pitchers. The game was
7:13
Speaker 1: already over at that point, and the bullpen said, wait,
7:16
Speaker 1: don't forget about us. Here we are. That is the
7:19
Speaker 1: soft underbelly. That is the soft underbelly. That is the
7:22
Speaker 1: leaky faucet of the Dodgers. That's dripping that Your water
7:26
Speaker 1: bill's so high because that bullpen that is the weak spot.
7:29
Speaker 1: It is glaring. It is absolutely glaring. And so you
7:34
Speaker 1: know what's coming up. The winner of this series is
7:36
Speaker 1: gonna take on the Philadelphia Phillies. If you look at
7:40
Speaker 1: your playoff bracket, yeah, there's actually a playoff bracket. The
7:43
Speaker 1: winner will take on the Philadelphia Phillies in the next round.
7:46
Speaker 1: And if you're the Phillies, all right, that's working. We'll
7:49
Speaker 1: find out whether or not this continues or not. We'll
7:51
Speaker 1: find out whether or not these guys actually grow a
7:53
Speaker 1: spine and grow some balls and get hair on their
7:55
Speaker 1: chest and all that stuff in the next round. But
7:57
Speaker 1: the Dodgers look like a really hollow team, a hollow bunny.
8:02
Speaker 1: The Dodgers, right, it is shiny and pretty on the
8:04
Speaker 1: outside looks all good. You bite into it and you're like,
8:06
Speaker 1: oh man, that sucks, Whereas I thought that was solid chocolate.
8:10
Speaker 1: You know. In the Phillies, good luck on. You know,
8:13
Speaker 1: the Phillies are legit that offense. But again, Cincinnati, it's
8:17
Speaker 1: like a scrimmage. It's like a scrimmage. You play Cincinnati
8:20
Speaker 1: batting practice. The real test will be when you've got
8:22
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper there and you've got Kyle Schwarber hitting bombs
8:25
Speaker 1: and all that and doing his thing. That's the real test.
8:28
Speaker 1: And we'll see if the Dodgers end up being again
8:31
Speaker 1: like the chocolate bunny that's hollow, or or if they're
8:35
Speaker 1: actually a brick house as the old song goes there.
8:39
Speaker 1: But Game one of the Dodgers and Reds it I
8:41
Speaker 1: call it a water works game. What does that mean?
8:44
Speaker 1: It means the Dodgers' offense was the fire hose, So
8:47
Speaker 1: that's the water on that side. But then the bullpen
8:50
Speaker 1: was the drippy, leaky faucet, and so that's the other side,
8:53
Speaker 1: as we pointed out, And it's nothing more than that.
8:56
Speaker 1: It's just you know, they can still lose the next
8:58
Speaker 1: two games. That shouldn't They shouldn't lose one game to
9:01
Speaker 1: the Reds, but you can't get a state in victory,
9:04
Speaker 1: like I don't understand, like the mind sid you guys
9:06
Speaker 1: were such you were trying to troll me so hard.
9:08
Speaker 1: You know who you are, who sent me the emails?
9:10
Speaker 1: You know you are. You're trying to bust my balls
9:12
Speaker 1: that you didn't even factory in the opponent. You played
9:15
Speaker 1: a bunch of little leaguers, the Cincinnati Reds here, and
9:18
Speaker 1: you came in there and your arsenate arsonist in the
9:21
Speaker 1: bullpen came in there facing a bunch of Cincinnati hitters,
9:26
Speaker 1: and we're afraid to throw strikes right, And now you
9:29
Speaker 1: got later on, assuming you don't screw this thing up,
9:32
Speaker 1: You've got the Phillies and the lumber company from Philadelphia.
9:34
Speaker 1: Good luck in a bandbox of a ballpark, all right. Now,
9:39
Speaker 1: turning the page, we had Yankees and Red Sox. Yankees
9:43
Speaker 1: and Red Sox. Garrett Crochet getting her done there for
9:47
Speaker 1: the Red Sox. He had seventeen consecutive batters retired. I
9:51
Speaker 1: didn't play professional baseball. I'm told that's good. When you
9:54
Speaker 1: get seventeen consecutive batters out, I'm told that's good. And
9:58
Speaker 1: it was a s performance as he had last shine
10:03
Speaker 1: here at Crochet in that one. And then it was
10:06
Speaker 1: a pinch hitter Masataka Yoshida who lined a two run
10:11
Speaker 1: ribby single off the woe begone Yankee reliever Luke Weaver. Well,
10:18
Speaker 1: that guy sucks u and that was the big hit there.
10:22
Speaker 1: The Red Sox get past the Yankees three game, three
10:24
Speaker 1: to one the finals. So it's game one. All these
10:27
Speaker 1: games played at Yankee Stadium there and so we'll see
10:32
Speaker 1: how this goes here. But the game had some dramatics
10:34
Speaker 1: there late as the Red Sox led three to one,
10:37
Speaker 1: he saw it. New York loaded the bases single single single,
10:42
Speaker 1: had the bases loaded, nobody out down two a raw.
10:47
Speaker 1: This Chapman on the mound, all star closer, former Yankee,
10:52
Speaker 1: longtime multi time Yankee, Raldis Chapman, and he was able
10:57
Speaker 1: to get out of the jam, did not give up
10:59
Speaker 1: a run despite single single single. The start things here.
11:03
Speaker 1: So Boston improves now. But another win against the Angle,
11:07
Speaker 1: I think ten and four versus the Yankees there and
11:10
Speaker 1: there need one more win, one more win to advance.
11:14
Speaker 1: But the better story, you know where, that's right, The
11:18
Speaker 1: better story is in the losing locker room, and so
11:22
Speaker 1: that is where we are going to go in the story.
11:24
Speaker 1: Everyone is talking about here the decision. Was it made
11:28
Speaker 1: by Aaron Boone? Was it made by Dorksville, USA and
11:33
Speaker 1: the Bronx? Who knows? But well, Game two is later
11:36
Speaker 1: on on Wednesday night. We must go back and focus
11:39
Speaker 1: on what happened as the Yankees and Red Sox the
11:43
Speaker 1: the better story in the losing locker room. So the
11:44
Speaker 1: big moment was when Aaron Boone decided to pull Max Freed,
11:49
Speaker 1: who was pitching a masterpiece. Masterpiece. Now again, this is
11:56
Speaker 1: something I know. I'm gonna date myself with my generation.
11:59
Speaker 1: I grew up like this was playoff baseball, great pitchers.
12:02
Speaker 1: This is why you have great starting pitching. You let
12:05
Speaker 1: them go out there and just deal. And it's a
12:08
Speaker 1: different style of play in the playoffs. I don't know.
12:11
Speaker 1: Now we're heading into October. This was the last day
12:13
Speaker 1: of September on Tuesday. But my god, it's so stupid.
12:18
Speaker 1: So Aaron Boone decides to pull Max Freed, who was
12:22
Speaker 1: pitching a great game. He had pitched I believe, six
12:24
Speaker 1: and a third shutout innings of baseball, and he had
12:28
Speaker 1: thrown one hundred and two pitches. So I guess his
12:30
Speaker 1: arm was going to be amputator if he threw one
12:32
Speaker 1: hundred and three pitches. They were going to have to,
12:33
Speaker 1: literally right on the mount at Yankee Stadium, front of
12:35
Speaker 1: all the men, women and children, cut his arm off.
12:38
Speaker 1: Just tragedy if he had thrown one hundred and third pitch.
12:41
Speaker 1: So they took him out. And here is Aaron Boom.
12:45
Speaker 1: You hear the question and the answer here as he
12:47
Speaker 1: was asked about the big decision that blew up in
12:51
Speaker 1: his face. Take a liss, Aaron. Maxfreed was dealing tonight.
12:54
Speaker 1: What was the thought process behind taking them out to
12:56
Speaker 1: go on the end? There? With nobody on and one
12:59
Speaker 1: out in the seventh.
13:00
Speaker 2: They pressured him pretty good in the fourth, fifth, sixth.
13:03
Speaker 2: You know, I had a couple of bits each inning,
13:06
Speaker 2: so I felt like he kind of cruised through the
13:08
Speaker 2: first few, and obviously he ends up pitching great, but
13:10
Speaker 2: I felt like he had to work pretty hard, and
13:12
Speaker 2: I was gonna have the six b at the end.
13:14
Speaker 2: But once we got the double we finished with the
13:16
Speaker 2: double play, I wanted to go out and get Duran
13:19
Speaker 2: and then felt like we were lined up all right.
13:22
Speaker 1: So there's the quote from mister Boone. But jeez, it's
13:30
Speaker 1: like the Yankees are the East Coast Dodgers and then
13:33
Speaker 1: the Dodgers of the West Coast Yankees. It's the same
13:36
Speaker 1: bull crap. It is the same prepackaged bull crap. It's
13:40
Speaker 1: listening to Aaron Boone is like listening to Dave Roberts.
13:42
Speaker 1: It's fascinating. It's just wild, all right. So Max Freed
13:47
Speaker 1: was asked about all this. Max Fried was asked if
13:50
Speaker 1: he had more left to give on the mound after
13:52
Speaker 1: one hundred and two pitches. He said, well, here's what
13:55
Speaker 1: he said, Tiglas, Max, I definitely.
13:58
Speaker 3: Felt felt good at the end. Yeah, you know, coming out,
14:05
Speaker 3: coming out feeling.
14:05
Speaker 1: Good, would you have liked to have stayed in longer?
14:09
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm I'm gonna stand until I get the
14:12
Speaker 3: ball taken from me.
14:13
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I want, I want to pitch.
14:15
Speaker 4: As long as I possibly can, and uh, you know,
14:17
Speaker 4: when when the ball gets taken out of my hands.
14:19
Speaker 2: Is you know that's where it was? Next?
14:21
Speaker 4: Did you feel like you had more left?
14:24
Speaker 2: Uh?
14:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I definitely felt I felt good.
14:28
Speaker 1: I felt like, I, you know, whatever, whatever the team needed.
14:31
Speaker 1: All right. So that was Max Freed. I think I
14:33
Speaker 1: was somebody was talking about here, but I think he
14:35
Speaker 1: said at the end there I had enough in the
14:36
Speaker 1: tank that that was one of the quotes that I
14:38
Speaker 1: saw bouncing around. I had enough in the tank, he said.
14:40
Speaker 1: I felt good. We heard that in the SoundBite. So question,
14:43
Speaker 1: thumbs up or thumbs down, thumbs up or thumbs down?
14:47
Speaker 1: Does Aaron Boone deserve to be char broiled? Char broiled
14:51
Speaker 1: for this lost taking Max Fred out against the Yankees.
14:54
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go two thumbs way up, two thumbs
14:58
Speaker 1: way up on this one. Go to it. Aaron Boone
15:02
Speaker 1: should be cooked, not charbrooth. I know that's too extreme.
15:06
Speaker 1: That's too extreme. Aaron Boone should be cooked like a
15:10
Speaker 1: dirty water dog. You know you're in New York, those
15:12
Speaker 1: dirty water dogs in that disgusting water at the hot
15:15
Speaker 1: dog stands there. Yeah, that should be cooked like a
15:18
Speaker 1: dirty water dog. Aaron Boone. Max freedz out there like
15:23
Speaker 1: Picasso on the mound, and you're like, ah, you know what,
15:27
Speaker 1: we have this luxury brand. We've gone over to Madison Avenue.
15:32
Speaker 1: We've got a two thousand dollars Gucci suit on Madison Avenue,
15:38
Speaker 1: and we don't need that suit anymore. We've worn that suit.
15:41
Speaker 1: So why don't we go down to the discount been
15:44
Speaker 1: at Walmart and we'll put Luke Weaver in in a
15:47
Speaker 1: playoff game. Playoffs. Yeah, that's your twenty twenty five Yankees
15:51
Speaker 1: in a nutshell right there. They have become a parody
15:55
Speaker 1: of themselves, much like the Dodgers. Right The Yankees, in
15:58
Speaker 1: their own way, have become a parody of themselves. There.
16:01
Speaker 1: You don't manage a game anymore. It's been this way
16:03
Speaker 1: for years. I still complain about it. You just follow
16:06
Speaker 1: the prompts on your iPad. You just follow the prompts.
16:09
Speaker 1: Green button pull, Max Freed done, a red button, Bring
16:14
Speaker 1: in Luke Weaver. Press that button. Boom, Luke Weaver comes
16:17
Speaker 1: in and then the shocker, the red Sox tee off
16:21
Speaker 1: on Luke Weaver. Who could have seen that coming. Just
16:24
Speaker 1: another case, just another example of the revenge of the nerds,
16:28
Speaker 1: the IVY League dwebs who have taken over this invasive
16:32
Speaker 1: species in baseball that have taken over, who are playing
16:36
Speaker 1: fantasy baseball just like they were back in the in
16:38
Speaker 1: the Ivy League, crunching numbers and all that stuff, and
16:41
Speaker 1: now they're calling the shots at a bunch of major
16:43
Speaker 1: league teams. This happens to be the Yankees there in
16:45
Speaker 1: the Bronx, and they think that relief pitchers and starting
16:49
Speaker 1: pitchers are just like you know what, they're like. They're
16:53
Speaker 1: like apps. You just close the Max Freed app and
16:56
Speaker 1: then you open the Luke Weaver app and it's just
16:59
Speaker 1: a different app. That's all it is. It's like some
17:03
Speaker 1: kind of Microsoft word thing they've got going on. And
17:06
Speaker 1: then but happens to be a wild card playoff game
17:08
Speaker 1: and it blows up in your face and it just
17:11
Speaker 1: blows me away because they never factor in the human element.
17:14
Speaker 1: They never fact in well, some guys are better in
17:16
Speaker 1: the moment than others. Some guys tighten up, get tight,
17:19
Speaker 1: took a syndrome, as we like to call it. There
17:21
Speaker 1: ride the vomit comet. And they don't ever factor that in.
17:24
Speaker 1: They don't factor that in because there's no way to
17:27
Speaker 1: measure that stuff. That's that's a real manager that has
17:30
Speaker 1: you know, has some houtzpah, that knows his players. They
17:33
Speaker 1: don't fact they could. Dave Roberts doesn't do that with
17:35
Speaker 1: the Dodgers, neither does Aaron Boone. They don't They don't
17:38
Speaker 1: do that. It's geeked them. Geeked them, USA is what
17:42
Speaker 1: it is. And Aaron Boone sitting there in that dugout
17:45
Speaker 1: smiling like a sock puppet, just smiling right there. He
17:49
Speaker 1: is a sock puppet. The front office, what do they do?
17:51
Speaker 1: They tug the strings and he's just you know, he's like,
17:54
Speaker 1: he's like a bobblehead. He just shakes his head. Yes,
17:56
Speaker 1: that's the Aaron Boone bobblehead in the dugout. And he's
18:00
Speaker 1: become like a tenured professor, Aaron Bode. He's either too
18:05
Speaker 1: dumb or too soft, or a little bit of both
18:07
Speaker 1: to ever push back on anything. And Max Freed is
18:10
Speaker 1: just I'd rather have Max Freed at pitch one oh three.
18:14
Speaker 1: He's better at pitch one o three than ninety ninety
18:17
Speaker 1: five percent of the relief pitchers. But alas did not happen,
18:23
Speaker 1: the Nerds medal again, and the Yankees are on the
18:27
Speaker 1: brink of elimination. The Red Sox need one more win.
18:31
Speaker 1: Probably should win Game two though, because I don't even
18:33
Speaker 1: know who's starting Game three for the for the Red Sox,
18:36
Speaker 1: as somebody I've never heard of. So the Red Sox
18:38
Speaker 1: halfway to advancing now quickly the last word here, the
18:44
Speaker 1: last word. So, what are some of the other takeaways?
18:47
Speaker 1: There were two other games that were not featuring here.
18:49
Speaker 1: What were some of the other takeaways from game number
18:52
Speaker 1: one of the wild Card round here? So Saya Suzuki
18:58
Speaker 1: a big time home run. This shit go Cups get
19:02
Speaker 1: her done three to one over the Podreys at Wrigley
19:05
Speaker 1: Field in game one of that particular series there. Now,
19:08
Speaker 1: I loved watching Fernando Tatisse go zero for four for
19:13
Speaker 1: the pod squad. How great was that? You know what
19:15
Speaker 1: he needs? He needs a special shipment of ringworm medication
19:19
Speaker 1: because he's really good. When he's got the ring worm medication,
19:21
Speaker 1: he gets like fourteen year contracts. How about Manny Machado, Yeah,
19:25
Speaker 1: good old Manny playoff Manny Machado, Oh for three for
19:29
Speaker 1: the Padres and that pop gun podre offense. Now they
19:32
Speaker 1: if you go back, they've now mustered one run in
19:35
Speaker 1: their last thirty three postseason innings. I'm told that's not good.
19:40
Speaker 1: I'm told that's not good. And what happened to the
19:44
Speaker 1: the belly gazing Podrays didn't play with that swagger, did
19:48
Speaker 1: not have that swagger all right me in Cleveland. Another
19:52
Speaker 1: dominating pitching performance, Trek Scouogble tying the postseason record with
19:58
Speaker 1: fourteen strikeouts four strikeouts. The Tigers beat up the I
20:02
Speaker 1: say beat up. They beat the Guardians, dude one. Although
20:05
Speaker 1: watching the Guardians play offense, holly crap, do they suck?
20:09
Speaker 1: My god? How did they come back? The fact that
20:12
Speaker 1: they were able to outplay the Tigers the last month
20:14
Speaker 1: of the year and win the division's fascinating. This is
20:16
Speaker 1: one of the worst offensive teams of all time to
20:19
Speaker 1: make the plowseason. In my opinion, it's a fact here
20:23
Speaker 1: and the I mean the Guardians, and they're not bad offense,
20:27
Speaker 1: they're historically bad. In fact, in this game they were
20:30
Speaker 1: been draggled. The Guardians got out of thirty three played appearances,
20:35
Speaker 1: four balls left the infield, four out of thirty three,
20:39
Speaker 1: four out of thirty three. Hodgepodge of nothingness. The Cleveland
20:44
Speaker 1: Guardians there and you kind of expected it. That to
20:48
Speaker 1: twenty six batting average, the worst all time, the worst
20:51
Speaker 1: batting average of all time for a playoff team, not
20:54
Speaker 1: counting the shortened pandemic season, and also the worst on
20:59
Speaker 1: base percentage ever for a playoff team. The Cleveland Guardians
21:02
Speaker 1: and the lowest slugging percentage going all the way back
21:07
Speaker 1: to nineteen eighty eight. So that's that's a long time. Now,
21:12
Speaker 1: what does all this mean? Game one winner, Game one winner,
21:15
Speaker 1: small sample sized Game one winner, Wildcard Round. They have
21:19
Speaker 1: advanced in all twelve all twelve of the Wildcard series,
21:24
Speaker 1: ten of them have been sweeps. So based on that,
21:27
Speaker 1: the Red Sox, Tigers, Cubs, and Dodgers are in really
21:32
Speaker 1: good shape. We'll take your calls the great test. Do
21:35

24:10
Speaker 1: who went from Hey, I'm in the All Star Game too,
24:13
Speaker 1: I'm in the doghouse art. We'll get to that, but
24:16
Speaker 1: some playoff baseball right now, everyone's loving it. Roberto the
24:20
Speaker 1: bus driver rights in. He used to work here, but
24:22
Speaker 1: he left for the riches of bus driving. He is
24:25
Speaker 1: very confident the Dodgers are going to win twelve more
24:28
Speaker 1: games now. Roberto upset. I was texting Roberto I don't
24:30
Speaker 1: go on social media much anymore except for the show.
24:33
Speaker 1: But I do text people. I know that, you know,
24:36
Speaker 1: I'm old people I used to work here, which is
24:39
Speaker 1: a lot of my friends used to work here. They
24:41
Speaker 1: don't work here anymore. They've moved on to other things,
24:43
Speaker 1: or people I worked with at other places. And Roberto,
24:45
Speaker 1: I was texting him. I was like, this dodge of
24:47
Speaker 1: bullpen sucks. He's, oh, oh, they're going. But I think
24:50
Speaker 1: Roberto was like like a case into Medello or something.
24:53
Speaker 1: I don't know what he was doing, but he was.
24:54
Speaker 1: He's so confident. I was like, dude, what is wrong
24:56
Speaker 1: with you? He was annoying me. And and the thing
25:00
Speaker 1: that really upset me about Roberto, and I know I
25:02
Speaker 1: shouldn't gives up on this. He was with me. He
25:04
Speaker 1: was he was my guy as my engineer when the
25:07
Speaker 1: whole Blake Snell thing happened, and during the pandemic, I
25:11
Speaker 1: ain't playing unse I got mine, bra I'm risking my
25:14
Speaker 1: live braw, you know, the whole thing like that, How
25:18
Speaker 1: stupid he looked what a schmuck, what a schmucky was
25:22
Speaker 1: and and you know all the drops that we played
25:24
Speaker 1: for years, we don't really play them anymore. But Roberto
25:27
Speaker 1: was like, he played those and now he's like, I
25:29
Speaker 1: love Blake Snell. What's wrong with you? Shame on you.
25:33
Speaker 1: Spos Weed rides in. He's deep down the Oregon Trail
25:37
Speaker 1: and he says, well, a class Joe takes me back.
25:42
Speaker 1: The first opponent you have in Mike Tyson's punch out. Yeah,
25:46
Speaker 1: that's why I brought him up, he says. Spos Weed says,
25:50
Speaker 1: I stuffed envelopes for that game as a temp after
25:54
Speaker 1: getting fired from my first job post college at a
25:58
Speaker 1: toy store. That's tough. You're not the only one that's
26:03
Speaker 1: lost a gig at a toy store. You can remember
26:05
Speaker 1: weed Man Hippie, the famous weed Man Hippie ended up
26:09
Speaker 1: losing everything at a toy store. Barbecuing Lynn disagrees with
26:12
Speaker 1: the male monologue at the top of the hour. He says,
26:15
Speaker 1: you are wrong about the Dodger's bullpen. He says, barbecuing
26:20
Speaker 1: Lynn claims that they have a set of balls for
26:23
Speaker 1: every batter, two sets, in fact, for every batter for four.
26:29
Speaker 1: Take your base. That's not wrong. Nature boy rights, since
26:32
Speaker 1: says the Reds backed into the wild card. The Dodgers
26:35
Speaker 1: should have had a bye with that lineup. What if
26:39
Speaker 1: one of the stars gets injured and a meaningless game
26:44
Speaker 1: in a meaningless thing, Well, you can play the what
26:48
Speaker 1: if game if you want, Like nature Boy, what if
26:51
Speaker 1: the Dodger bullpen actually pitches like they're supposed to pitch,
26:55
Speaker 1: at least their baseball reference page says they're going to pitch,
26:58
Speaker 1: and they actually dom An eighteen. Do the what if game? Now? Jill,
27:02
Speaker 1: long suffering Yankee fan, I say, long suffering. It's been
27:05
Speaker 1: way back to nine. The last time the Yankees won
27:10
Speaker 1: the World Series was nine. I was barely alive in
27:13
Speaker 1: O nine. Oh my god, poor Jill. Uh and she's upset.
27:18
Speaker 1: Fat Daddy says, great baseball monologue to start the postseason.
27:21
Speaker 1: You're right, big Ben, the Reds are pathetic. They don't
27:24
Speaker 1: deserve to be in the wild Card. They haven't done nothing.
27:28
Speaker 1: They're under man Yeah, David writes, And you're very optimistic,
27:33
Speaker 1: big fan of the show. David says, So this guy
27:35
Speaker 1: Mallard and his team are highly underrated. He said he's
27:39
Speaker 1: made a career out of the overnight shift. But he
27:41
Speaker 1: says Fox used to have Greg Guttfeld in the late
27:45
Speaker 1: shift on Red Eye. He moved in there, he's now
27:48
Speaker 1: number one. There you go. So a great idea, David.
27:52
Speaker 1: If somebody wants to pay me lots and lots of
27:54
Speaker 1: money and overpay me, I'm right there. I'm sign me
27:57
Speaker 1: up for that. Jill the Yankee fan says the current
28:00
Speaker 1: mood is I think she's going deaf con one. I
28:03
Speaker 1: believe Jill's going deaf con one on the Yankees. The
28:07
Speaker 1: nature one rights in again. He says, I would have
28:09
Speaker 1: left Max freed in that game Ben until he reached
28:12
Speaker 1: two hundred pitches, just like the old school Warriors back
28:16
Speaker 1: in the day. And then he points out that in
28:19
Speaker 1: a random July game in the nineteen sixties at Candlestick Park,
28:23
Speaker 1: a pitcher named Juan Marischal, a legend of that era,
28:27
Speaker 1: pitched sixteen innings two hundred and twenty seven pitches. Warren
28:32
Speaker 1: Spawn pitched two hundred and one pitches wow, in that game,
28:38
Speaker 1: fifteen and a third innings of baseball there. And it
28:42
Speaker 1: is interesting to know. I was having some conversations in
28:45
Speaker 1: the hallways here. We were talking about pitch counts, and
28:49
Speaker 1: it's it's one of these things about round numbers, and
28:53
Speaker 1: I don't want to give you a full rant because
28:55
Speaker 1: ferg Doog will yell at man. I don't want ferk
28:56
Speaker 1: dog to yell at me, because he's heard this a
28:58
Speaker 1: lot now will be upset with me. I don't want alpha.
29:00
Speaker 1: But I pointed out that this fascination we have with
29:03
Speaker 1: round numbers, it's something that human beings have. We love
29:06
Speaker 1: round numbers. People really get excited about one hundred. They
29:10
Speaker 1: don't get excited about ninety nine. You think you're getting
29:13
Speaker 1: a better deal. It's like the price of gas, right,
29:15
Speaker 1: they think you're getting a better deal because it's it's
29:17
Speaker 1: ninety nine at the end there you think, well, this
29:19
Speaker 1: is great, I'm getting a wonderful deal. It's just this
29:23
Speaker 1: little mind hacked. We all have it. You know, we're
29:25
Speaker 1: all built the same way, right in different backgrounds or whatever.
29:29
Speaker 1: The genetics are the same on that. And they decided,
29:34
Speaker 1: and again this is the nerd stuff, like again, I
29:37
Speaker 1: can just bash nerds. And they decided that one hundred
29:39
Speaker 1: pitches that's it. And Max Freed had pitched one hundred
29:44
Speaker 1: and two pitches, and again, if he'd gone to one
29:46
Speaker 1: hundred and three, they would have had to take a
29:47
Speaker 1: surgeon right on the mount of Yankee Stadium they would
29:49
Speaker 1: have had meatball surgery and literally had to cut his
29:51
Speaker 1: arm off, ah Nut, and it would have been a
29:53
Speaker 1: tracked experience for everyone at Yankee Stadium. They would have
29:56
Speaker 1: had to go to commercial, could not have shown it
29:58
Speaker 1: on TV because literally a hundred and three pitches they
30:00
Speaker 1: would have to cut his arm off. I think that
30:02
Speaker 1: turned on and scared me. The other issue is that
30:07
Speaker 1: while we're all cut out of the same basic cloth,
30:12
Speaker 1: there are some that are able to give you a
30:15
Speaker 1: little more. I give you more, and it fascinates me.
30:19
Speaker 1: I've been ranting on the same mountain. I don't know
30:23
Speaker 1: if you can see me up on the peak of
30:24
Speaker 1: the mountain, but I'm standing on top of the mountain.
30:26
Speaker 1: I'm screaming down to the village that every great pitching
30:30
Speaker 1: accomplishment in the postseason would be impossible today. Like whatever.
30:36
Speaker 1: I don't know how old you are, and I don't
30:38
Speaker 1: know what your memory of baseball is, and we're all
30:40
Speaker 1: different in that regard, but I have very fond memories
30:44
Speaker 1: of epic pitching performances in the playoffs that would not
30:48
Speaker 1: be allowed today out of an abundance of caution. Could
30:51
Speaker 1: not do it, cannot do it, and it drives me insane.
30:55
Speaker 1: It drives me insane because they have all the players
30:58
Speaker 1: are coddled more than they've ever been before. Man is it?
31:03
Speaker 1: It's they've got personal chefs and trainers up the up
31:06
Speaker 1: the tuk us, and they are coddled so much that
31:11
Speaker 1: the players of the old generation were actually tougher. That
31:14
Speaker 1: these are wusses, the modern athletes or us in baseball.
31:18
Speaker 1: It's fascinating to me. It's wild. What else do we
31:22
Speaker 1: have this page?
31:22
Speaker 4: Then?
31:23
Speaker 1: I can't read that on their supermarket? Steve writes in
31:26
Speaker 1: from Sokal. He says, I cannot wait for the Dick
31:29
Speaker 1: and Dayton phone call. He says, I bet, I bet you.
31:32
Speaker 1: He says that the Reds and the Guardians need to
31:34
Speaker 1: pitch better, hit better, and play better defense. Congratulations Dick. Yeah,
31:41
Speaker 1: I don't know we have that drop, Lorna. I know
31:42
Speaker 1: you're kind of new here, but we had Dick and
31:44
Speaker 1: Dayton drop about what I think it was out the
31:47
Speaker 1: Indians what they need to do to win. And he
31:49
Speaker 1: pretty much just said that just you know, hit better
31:51
Speaker 1: and play better defense and pitch better and uh and
31:54
Speaker 1: that was pretty good. Dick's Keys the Winning Baseball from
31:58
Speaker 1: Supermarket Steve not A Berner writes in he says, Tyreek,
32:03
Speaker 1: He's talking about Tyreek Hill here away from the baseball stuff.
32:05
Speaker 1: Says Tyreek seems to be very happy. He was seriously
32:09
Speaker 1: hurt so he could finally be freed without demanding a trade.
32:13
Speaker 1: He collapsed and screams yes and gives gratitude to the
32:16
Speaker 1: Lord above. Not the usual mannerisms from a disappointed player
32:19
Speaker 1: who just got injured. We will talk about Tyreek Hill.
32:22
Speaker 1: Some wild quotes about Tyreek Hill. Paul writes in from Minnesota,
32:25
Speaker 1: he says, Hey, Benjamin, big ben Mouth. I love the show.
32:29
Speaker 1: I listened every night from Minnesota my little black sony
32:33
Speaker 1: portable radio. I love it. Old school, old school. You're
32:38
Speaker 1: not on some app. You're not on the iHeart app
32:40
Speaker 1: or any of that. You're doing it old school. King
32:42
Speaker 1: Rory writes, and he says, since sports are entertainment and
32:45
Speaker 1: entertainment is scripted, I believe Major League Baseball has picked
32:49
Speaker 1: the Chicago Cubs to win it all, says King Roy.
32:52
Speaker 1: With recent events and the loss of a mega fan,
32:56
Speaker 1: major League Baseball believes that a Cubs World Series victory
32:59
Speaker 1: will help you night the country. Hey, heartwarming India, Eh,
33:04
Speaker 1: people said the same thing. I remember back years ago
33:06
Speaker 1: there was this major terrorist event in New York and
33:10
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania, in Washington, DC, and they said the Yankees
33:14
Speaker 1: are gonna win the World Series. Twenty oh one. Yankees
33:16
Speaker 1: are gonna win the World Series. And I believe I'm
33:17
Speaker 1: not mistaken. The Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Yankees in Game
33:21
Speaker 1: seven as Luis Gonzalez screwed everything up there, and that
33:27
Speaker 1: was that. Let's see here, Ferg Dog says Ben. I
33:31
Speaker 1: think we have to admit Blake Snell doesn't suck. He's
33:34
Speaker 1: a good pitcher, but he's an idiot. I wanted to
33:37
Speaker 1: be the first in line to bash him, but he
33:39
Speaker 1: won me over. Well, you're easily won over for Dog.
33:42
Speaker 1: It's a bad job by you. Now, someone that was
33:44
Speaker 1: not won over would be the All Star who's ended
33:48
Speaker 1: up in the doghouse. Did you see that? Jazz Chisholm,
33:52
Speaker 1: Junior of the New York Yankees, not in the starting
33:57
Speaker 1: lineup for Game number one? Was not in the starting lineup.
34:01
Speaker 1: Jazz was asked about that. He was visibly frustrated. He
34:07
Speaker 1: had his back turned to reporters post game, and he
34:12
Speaker 1: gave a dismissive interview. So problems for jazz chism problems
34:19
Speaker 1: in the Bronx. And here's the rub on this. The
34:24
Speaker 1: problem is jazz. They did it because of the splits
34:28
Speaker 1: and how jazz Chishlm is versus left handers versus right
34:31
Speaker 1: right handers and all that. But a healthy jazz chism
34:35
Speaker 1: an all star was benched. And they're saying Aaron Boone
34:40
Speaker 1: did it, but we know that Aaron Boone didn't do it,
34:43
Speaker 1: that it was a decision made by the spreadsheet that
34:47
Speaker 1: they looked at the ven diagram and all that, and
34:51
Speaker 1: they said, okay, so we have Garrett Crochet and we
34:55
Speaker 1: don't want to go We do not want to go
34:58
Speaker 1: with with Jazz because he doesn't have good splits, so
35:01
Speaker 1: we'll go with the other guy. And so they went
35:03
Speaker 1: with the other guy. And I believe Jazz Chisholm is
35:06
Speaker 1: a free agent at the end of the playoffs. And
35:11
Speaker 1: it is interesting to know he did sign a one
35:14
Speaker 1: year contract with the Yankees this year. See the Yankees
35:17
Speaker 1: Dodgers in Red Sox. You always need them to bid
35:21
Speaker 1: on you. So and that's the rubb. He might have
35:26
Speaker 1: one more year of arbitration. There might be one more
35:28
Speaker 1: year of arbitration, but I think he's coming up on
35:31
Speaker 1: free agency. Might be wrong on them, but I think
35:33
Speaker 1: it's either next this offseason or the following offseason for
35:37
Speaker 1: Jazz Chism. It is the Ben Malich. We'll keep an
35:40
Speaker 1: eye on that story. And it's not the first time.
35:43
Speaker 1: It's not the last time a star player has been
35:45
Speaker 1: benched for a playoff game. I remember when I was
35:47
Speaker 1: covering baseball regularly back in the day, there was a
35:50
Speaker 1: famous player who had played for the Montreal Expos, who
35:52
Speaker 1: was on the Dodgers and got benched for a playoff game.
35:55
Speaker 1: And my god, did he get upset very surly interviewing
36:00
Speaker 1: him after that playoff game, actually before the playoff game.
36:04
Speaker 1: All right, time now for the who am I?
36:05
Speaker 4: Game?
36:06
Speaker 1: And this is where I pretend to be somebody else else.
36:08
Speaker 1: We call it who am I? Game? So Blake snelled
36:11
Speaker 1: Bright play less, I get my I'm risking my live braw.
36:14
Speaker 4: Well, clearly, bro, I'm risking life there.
36:17
Speaker 1: It is right there. Well clearly if I say, gave
36:18
Speaker 1: him a good breakfast, because Blake Snell went out there
36:20
Speaker 1: had nine strikeouts. Who this guy that does a Dodger
36:23
Speaker 1: Propagander Show. But Blake Snell nine strikeouts, the second most
36:27
Speaker 1: in LA Dodger history for a player making his first
36:30
Speaker 1: postseason start with the Dodgers. I am the only LA

Speaker 1: pitcher who to have more strikeouts in their first postseason
36:40
Speaker 1: game with the Blue Crew. Who am I? That's the

Speaker 2: Game?
37:41
