Brewers CRUSH Dodgers, Guardians STEAL Game 1 vs. Rays, Ohtani being BENCHED Game 3? | Ross & Rizzo · Ross and Rizzo Unfiltered

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: This guy's a presence in the lineup, whether he's hitting
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: or not. Like let's, let's not get stupid. Okay. Like
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: the guys in the lineup, if, if healthy, like if him,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: if Dave Roberts and the trainers sit down, like, Hey,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: we know you're not a hundred percent. We appreciate you grinding.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: You know, let's, let's, let's save you off the band,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: whatever the process is, but you're not benching show. Yo, Tommy.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: I'm Anthony Rizzo with David Ross, and we are back
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: on Ross and Rizzo Unfiltered. Game one of the American
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: League Championship Series wrapped up. The Rays losing to the
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Guardians 7-3, and then the Brewers again taking a 2-0 lead,
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: beating the Dodgers 7-4. Rossi, what? Getting alerts on our
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: phone saying that the Dodgers may be Bench Shohei Otani
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: for game three back in L.A.? What world are we
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: living in?
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: What are we talking about? What are we talking about? Well,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: my first thought is like, okay, let's relax. If Otani
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: can't play, he's obviously injured. And like benching, you're not
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: benching Shohei Otani. He's either pushing through some stuff, doesn't
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: feel 100%, but you're not benching one of the greatest
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: players on the planet in the postseason.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Of all time.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Of all time. It takes two seconds. As you know,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: each at bat, you can get your timing. You can
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: get the feel of your swing. And one swing from
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: him can change a game. This guy's a presence in
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: the lineup whether he's hitting or not. Let's not get stupid.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: The guy's in the lineup, if healthy. If Dave Roberts
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: and the trainers sit down like, hey, we know you're
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: not 100%. We appreciate you grinding. you know, let's save
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: you off the bench, whatever the process is, but you're
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: not benching Shoya Ohtani.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's be careful with the words of benching, right? Like,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: he's not going to be benched for the Dodgers fans
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: and baseball fans. It has to be that he's grinding
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: through something. I mean, he just doesn't look, you know,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: you could almost see it on his face, he doesn't
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: look right. But that's, I mean, just think, it only
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: takes one swing. But he did miss time in September.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: He came back late for that last week to get
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: his feet under him for the playoffs, so he could
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: still be dealing with stuff internally that we don't know about.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: In my opinion and probably imagination, that's it, like you said.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: He's got to be dealing with something. He's hurting. He's
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: grinding that. Maybe he needs a day, or maybe he
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: needs a mental day. You know what I mean? Look,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: they've won three, or I'm sorry, they won back-to-back championships.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: They're playing in the championship series again. Like, it's a
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: mental toll, and we talked about this. I think that's
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: why we saw them struggle so much in August that
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers, right, we were saying, are we worried about
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers? That mental grind where they're at right now,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: you know, there's what, two weeks left in the season?
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: And these last two weeks, you could see that light
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: at the end of the tunnel, win or lose. So
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: maybe he's just hit that. But I'd imagine it's got
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: to be an injury related, right?
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: It's got to be. Well, you're not– yeah, I mean–
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: There's no other X. He's been the greatest player on
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the planet right up until he had to go on
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: the aisle with some of these stuff and then, you know,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: been dealing with it off and on and trying to grind.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: If he doesn't have his timing back, even so, it's
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: like when Aaron Judge comes back off the injured list.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if he goes 0 for 15 with
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: nine punches his first time. Like, he's going to get
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: his timing down. If he's healthy, he's going to get
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: his timing down. The ball is going to leave the ballpark.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: And you want that presence in your lineup. I don't care.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Even if he's not 100%, like him deepens that lineup
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: and you've got to pay attention to him. You've got
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: to make pitching changes to account for him being. There's
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: no way Pat Murphy's saying, oh, go right at Shohei Itani.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: He stinks. They're not doing that.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: No, never.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: But you know who's in trouble, who's really injured? The
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Dodgers in general. The Brewers are for real. The Brewers
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: are for real. They're like, it doesn't matter. We were
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: the best team in baseball, as we know. William Contreras
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: absolutely carrying this team to the World Series in both games.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: This guy's three for four home run, three RBIs, and
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: another Contreras long trot. It seems to run in the family,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: a little long trot around the bases. The Brewers have
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: five home runs. He's got three of them this postseason.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: So Bryce Terang, one of my favorite players, we talked
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: about him. He's back after the home run yesterday with
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: two knocks, three runs scored. And that Brewers bullpen, Riz, five...
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: A guy didn't reach base for five innings. Five innings.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Justin May, JoJo Romero, Abner Uribe, and Andy Ashby. They
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: didn't even have to go to McGill. Like, there was
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: electric shutdown.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: That's huge. They don't have to go to McGill. Uribe,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Abner Uribe is nasty, huh?
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: My God. He's slinging it.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Slinging it. And his energy, too, on the mound. Bro, they...
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Their bullpen's been perfect. I mean, yesterday, too. They didn't
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: give up a run. The fact that they were able
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: to get Yamamoto out two and a third.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Innings, right?
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Last time he faced him, he threw a CG in
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: the playoffs. So, the Jake Bowers at bat, bro. Gotta
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: just give flowers to Jake Bowers, man. 12 pitch at bat. Rossi,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: 7 minutes and 15 seconds. That When they said that
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: on the air, I think Joe Davis said that on
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: the air, on the telecast, my mouth dropped. I'm like,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: you know it was a long at-bat watching it. Seven minutes.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: You know how hard that is to lock in for
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: seven minutes and 15 seconds? I mean, I had a
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: 17-pitch at-bat before you traded me in 2021. It's not
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: about you.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: It's not about you.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: But, no, I'm just saying the magnitude of locking in
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: for that long in the playoffs, versus Yamamoto, Jake Bowers,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: and then taking the walk. It looked like he was
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: in swing mode, 3-2, takes the walk, and then El Capitan,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Christian Jelic, after being benched in game one, right? He
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: did not play in game one because they're facing Scooble,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: comes up with the big knock. So that, for me, was,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, Yamamoto was out of the game after that,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: and it's... you have to feel like.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: You're the Brewers.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Like, let's go boys.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Like, yeah.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Like we are, we planted our flag in this series
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: right here. And like, we are here.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But that Jacob, I'm glad you brought that up.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: That Jake Bowers at bat was kind of a microcosm
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: of what the Brewers team does. Like, they're just going
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: to grind you in every aspect of the game, bro.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: For me, like everybody's going to talk about these timely
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: hitting and all that stuff. Like, The Brewers made two
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: errors that cost them. This is a beatdown today. They
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: gave them two or three runs.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: They did.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: That game's closer than it should be. And I know
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers gave up, had an error as well. But
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at that, and I'm like, if they don't
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: make those two errors, it's a cleaner game.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: They've made seven errors this postseason. I think they made
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: the fourth fewest in the league. They've made seven errors.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: this postseason. Two in this game to let the Dodgers
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: back in. Like you said, this could have been a
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: beat down, not letting them have those runs, but did
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: you see Pat Murphy's walkout when Logan Henderson made that
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: second throwing error? I mean, that ball was, as soon
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: as that ball was being sailed, Murph was walking out
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: of the dugout saying, like, he looked pissed. And Murph's pretty, like,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: he's a statue during the game and I was like
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: ooh he's not too happy.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Well he talked a little bit about the mature at
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: bats from his hitters like they can get even better
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: and I think that was one of those you know
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: he didn't have a lot of patience for just the
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: lack of fundamentals and let the moment get the best
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: of you but yeah that was a bad that took
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: me back to like Garza that highlight the whole show
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: of Garza in Chicago he throws in the stands on
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: that punt the fundamentals yeah I'm not trying to throw
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: straight sorry Garza but I'm throwing some strays there, but man,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: the Brewers are throwing Robert Gasser in game three. Dodgers
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: throwing Snell. I think, you know, I was looking at
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: that lineup. I like the Brewers lineup better versus righties
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: than lefties. Blake Snell, they're going to, you know, Yellies
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: back on the bench. I love Fralicks on the bench.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: You know, they've got a nice platoon there at the bottom.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: between those guys. And, but I, I do like, I
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: do like Yelly in there. He's, he just got, he's
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: got that clutch gene, man. It's like, feels like when
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: I was catching behind him, it always felt like when
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: a big knock was needed, he was like up the middle,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: other way, line drive. You know, he's so fast down
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: the line for such a tall, lanky guy. He moves well,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: can steal bases. Like, you know, I will see how
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: it looks, what that lineup looks like, but, We've got
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: the Brewers, like you said, Brewers putting their flag in
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: the ground like this is our series, 2-0.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: A big thing, too, is that the Dodgers had to
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: use eight pitchers in this game. The Brewers have seen
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: these guys now, right? And now it shifts, and look,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: it's a seven-game series, so the Dodgers are not going
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: to lay down. But, I mean, they've just proven that
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: year in and year out. Their backs are against the
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: wall here, being down 2-0. Obviously, you can't afford to
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: go down 3-0. There's only been one team ever to
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: come back from that in the playoffs, especially in the
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: championship series. What do they need to get back in this? Obviously,
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: they need to win. They get their home field advantage back,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: but is that, I mean, bro, the Brewers could jump
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: out early on these guys in L.A., you know what
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: I mean? Yeah. I don't know, like, how do they
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: get back in this quick? You know what I mean?
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: I think the whole, the difference that I'm seeing is
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: the Brewers seem to be getting knocks with runners in
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: scoring positions the Dodgers haven't. You know, they've got... The
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Brewers gave them a couple runs. You know, their quality
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: at bats, but, you know, it is key that I
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: think Shohei gets to be a form of himself, right?
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: That's going to be a key. That lineup's got to
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: put up some runs. But tonight, it just was all Brewers,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: and I think that lineup's just got to somehow get going. Yeah.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, I love Tommy Edmond in that lineup. I
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: like Tommy Edmond back in there at second base. He's
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: a quality at bat. I think he scored a run today.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: you know, he's just a, he's one of those guys
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: that seem to be, come up, another guy that comes
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: up big in the moment. Yeah.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, it just, it just doesn't make sense that
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: reports will come out about benching Otani, right? No. Hey,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's three for 20 in the playoffs with
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: seven Ks. To me, if he's healthy, that just means
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: he's about to be seven for 14. Right.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: With four homers. Exactly.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Right? Yeah. So, unless it's, unless it's something that he's
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: dealing with, that he's hurt, like, Just reports of him
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: being benched, though, that just doesn't make sense to me.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: But who knows? What do we know, Rossi? We're just podcasts.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's just bad wording by somebody that was hitting
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: the tweet, the X button. Maybe it's some bad wording.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: There's something about the warm summer air and a cold
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: corona with Lyme that makes the roar of the crowd
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: sound a lot like the roar of the waves.

  Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon in the sun, You know baseball isn't about
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: rushing around. It's about settling in, letting the game come

• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Guardians raised, bro.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: We're off.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Guardians stealing game one. And I say steal because Rasmussen
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: on the mound, their ace, the Guardians had to just
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: piece it together, and they did, man. Steven Vogt, they
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: go into the trough, and they take game one. Nathaniel Lowe,
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: two RBIs, single on the top of the eighth to
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: take a 4-2 lead. And then Patrick Bailey, you know,
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: the add-on in the ninth there at Palmer.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: That's just rigged. Catcher's rake, I was going to say.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: We got William Contreras and my boy Patrick Bailey. My boy,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know the guy. But I just root for
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: the catchers. And when they hit, I'm just so pumped.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: That was a bomb he hit, by the way. Yeah.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: That ball was crushed. So, I mean, that was surprising, man.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: That's a surprising one to me. And before we get
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: into this game, now the Guardians are set up with
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: their two big boys for Game 2 and Game 3. Yeah. So,
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: it's like how fast it can shift.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: I'm like, ooh. And they just carried that momentum, like,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: just staying hot right into, you know, you would think
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: all those runs came late in the game. Then they
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: came from the seventh inning on, other than the solo shot.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: I think that was a big-time homer there from Bailey.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: But they came late, and their bats got better. Jose
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Ramirez is, like, that offense goes as he goes. I
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: feel like Joe Adele with a great pickup at the deadline,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: but great pickup. But since Jose Ramirez has gotten going,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: that offense has taken off, man. Like, what, game three
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: of the DS? And now he's just carried that into
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: the championship series. He's getting locked in, and he's playing
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: with that energy, stealing bases, making throws go all over
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: the place. Like, absolutely electric, man. He is a stud.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Do you think that the Guardians could really win this
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: series after running game one? I mean, yes, right?
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I had them– I had the Rays, especially
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: the way it started, like 2-0. They started out so fast.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, this is going to be a blowout.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: No, these guys are resilient, dude. They've got some of
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: these teams in the postseason, and you've been on them.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Talent's awesome. We had a lot of talent on both
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: your World Series teams and both of mine, obviously, but
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: there's a grit factor that these teams have that you
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: can't put on paper, and the Guardians definitely stand out
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: as that group. The Brewers are talented. don't want to
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: get it, but they also have that, that grinder factor that,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: you know, comes from their manager, Pat Murphy. And it
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: just feels like they're, they're right where they need to be, man. They're, they're,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: they're nobody, nobody picked them to win that game. The guardians,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: you know, nobody picked them.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: No one. That, that's a testament to Stephen Vogt and,
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: and the guys in that clubhouse and the leaders in
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: that clubhouse that are rallying the troops and here we go, boys.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, Got to give some love to Chase DeLauder,
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: three for four with a solo homer tonight.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: That's the one I was talking about.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: That was a big one.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: That was a big boy one. Yeah.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: The good thing for the Rays is the Rays needed
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: to get punched, right? They swept the Yankees. Everything went
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: perfect for them. And now they got punched in the face.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: And now they need to respond. And if they're going
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: to be a World Series team, this is what they do.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: It's not going to be all sunshine, whatever, rainbows and butterflies, right?
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Right. Um.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: So I think you can look at this from two ways.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: They have Freddie Peralta going tomorrow, who's been so much
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: better since they got him at the deadline, going against
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: the Guardians.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Parker Messick for the Guardians. He didn't have a great outing,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: his last outing, but he didn't throw much, probably well-rested,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: and they're going to need a big performance out of him.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Give me your predictions. Guards up 1-0 shocked the heck
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: out of me. All right, my polymarket picks here. Razor, 57%
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: to the yes. $ 100 gets you 171. The Guardians are 44%
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: to the yes. And $ 100 gets you 218. Man, I
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: got to stay with the Rays for me, Riz. That's
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: my polymarket pick. The Rays, they'll get going. Like you said,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Freddy Peralta, absolute stud. They're in Tampa Bay. You know,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: the guards are hot. Somebody's got to keep them quiet.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: They're relentless. Somebody's going to have to shut them down completely.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: And Freddy Peralta could be that guy. So I'm going
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: with the Rays with a 57% to the yes.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Love it. Hey, how about that shout-out to Chris Tran,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: our producer, what he sent us about the Guardians pitching
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: staff over the years, saying how they keep their guys
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: healthy and they prioritize health over velocity and they've had
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: the least amount of ILs, got pitchers on the IL
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: in the last, what, five years? Is that what it was,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: something like that? And that their back end of the
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: bullpen is always elite? It is.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: You feel like– there's a couple teams I feel like
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: in MLB that every year they have a good bullpen.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: San Diego's one. Cleveland's one. It's always guys you hadn't
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: really heard of, you know. And they've got absolute– you know,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Kate Smith, homegrown. Like, all these dudes, homegrown, drafted, and
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: guys that they've identified, and they're helping them out. And
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: it feels like every year they're super deep. So, I'm
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: with you. Shout out Chris Tran for sending that kind of–
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: that nugget is always– Always helpful. Yeah.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: I love to hear that stuff. How about, Rossi, what
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: is the bottom three payrolls versus the Dodgers payroll? You
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: can combine all three of them and they're still not
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: as much as the Dodgers payroll.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: That's nuts.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: But that's the beauty of baseball. Look, like, everyone wants
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: to talk about, oh, the lockdown with the salary cap
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: and all this. Look, you can go buy the best teams. Again,
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: last year, the Dodgers won by literally inches.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Like, And now this year,
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: you have three teams that are in the bottom, literally
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: the bottom three or four of all of baseball that's
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: going to be in the World Series.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Well, what I love, Riz, is that what's everybody talking about?
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Derek Jeter had a great quote today pregame about the
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Rays and the Brewers, and he was specifically talking about
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: the Brewers, and everybody highlights small ball. Even the Dodgers
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: today were bunting. Getting guys over, Mookie Betts clapping as
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: he's running down there. Getting a guy over with less
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: than two outs of a leadoff double. Like, guys playing
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: small ball, stealing bases.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Winning baseball.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Winning baseball. Only gets highlighted. Like, you can hide it
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: a little bit during the season, but and everybody shines
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: a light on the postseason because the little things matter
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: the reason why the the brewers win one run games
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: is because they know how to they've been doing it
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: all season of bunning hitting and run getting guys over
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: and yeah they've hit some some home runs and that's
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: postseason stuff that happens but a lot of that comes
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: from putting pressure on the pitcher constantly whether it's grinding
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: at bats, controlling the strike zone, putting pressure on the bases.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: All these little details matter in winning baseball, and it's
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: showing right now with the teams during the postseason. It
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter that they roll.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: The Brewers, that's what they've done all year. And that's
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: what the Dodgers have done all year, too. The Dodgers,
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: that veteran superstar lineup, you don't see guys really taking
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: selfish at-bats when you watch them throw.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: No, you're right.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Like Mookie clapping, getting the
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: guy over. That's something that's established day one, right?
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: They know how.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: You get a guy over, you get a guy over
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: and June like the boys in the dugout better be
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: giving me a little tap I'm pissed off personally that
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: I didn't get the job done right but when you
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: get a guy over less than two outs from second
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: base and you get in the third with less than
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: two outs as mad as you want to be if
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: you got out you got the job done right and
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: that's being a good teammate you come in saying let's
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: go like you're really rooting on the guy behind you
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: to get the job done because then you feel like
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: you know okay I helped the team win and if
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: you can feel like you helped the team win Throughout
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: 162 and into the playoffs, it's a really good feeling.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Well, and a guy like you is paid to drive
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: those runs in. So it's like a win-win if you
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: do both. But if you get a guy over, it's
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: kind of like you get a half run. It should
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: be like a half run and a stat.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: And you're setting the tone for the rest of your team, though.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Right, that's right.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: Hey, worst-case scenario. Worst-case scenario. I knew for me, worst-case scenario.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: I'd roll over a ball to second base. That was
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: my mindset. I get the two strikes. I'm like, all right,
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: let's just put a ball in play and get the
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: guy over it.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: A guy like me, I'm motherfucking myself if I don't
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: get a guy over because they're going to start butting
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: me if I don't.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: You weren't a bad bunner, though.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: No, I was a good bunner. I was good. You
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: better be backup catcher freaking stink as a 220 hitter.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: I better.

• 23:02
  Speaker 2: you guys, our first one, email from Brody Luchan.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Luchan? Lucha, I think. Luchan.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Who is the X Factor for each team if they
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: want to make the World Series? The X Factor. All right.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Well, we've already talked about, I think, Shohei Otani. If
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: he gets going, that's a huge X Factor for the Dodgers.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: For the Guardians, I think Jose Ramirez has proven he
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: is that guy. I think the offense runs through Jose Ramirez.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: When he's on, causing havoc, playing good defense, he made
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: a great play today, done the third baseline. He's a
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: real X factor for them. I think with the Brewers,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: the Brewers, we've seen all their runs come from William Contreras,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: so that is an X factor, but I think Christian
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Yelich will be another one of those guys that you
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: look at. Obviously, Chirios is doing great. Bryce Terang. Their lineup,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: I just feel like, has to continue to put some
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: pressure on guys and control the strike zone. But I
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: think William Contreras has definitely been that guy for them.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: And then for the Rays, Junior Caminero. I'd like to
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: see him put that team on his back. And I
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: could have said a lot of bullpen arms for key
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: factors because we're going to bullpen so early, but I'm
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: just focused on the offense. I think Junior Caminero, if
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: he gets, he's got that, that, thing we were talking
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: about earlier, when the lights shine the brightest, he kind
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: of steps up. I'd like to see him in a
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: big home run or something and put that momentum back
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: in the Rays' dugout.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a scary moment, too, in the ninth.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: Him colliding with DeLuca. Thankfully, it seems like he's okay,
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: because obviously the Rays need him. Alright, the X-Factors for me,
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: I know you said Shohei. I'm going with Will Smith.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, good one.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: He's been a little slow to start this postseason, and
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: I feel like the last two years, man, in the postseason,
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: he just goes off and he controls that staff. So
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: he's a good extractor for me. You went all superstar route, Rossi.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Well, it's funny you say that because I was like
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: the catchers have raked between Patrick Bailey and Contreras. And
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: I was like, I want Will Smith like was on
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: the WBC team is the best. And I want to
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: say him. I'm like, shit, he's not hitting right now.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: So if he gets going, you're right, bro. I'm rooting
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: for him to get going.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: It's a good one. I like that. For the Brewers,
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: it's Abner Uribe. Murph's going to go to him in
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: these big fire situations. And if he continues to keep
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: doing what he's doing, he is going to shut down
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: that Dodgers lineup. It doesn't matter where he puts him in.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: He's nasty.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Good one.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: For the Rays, my pick is Yandy Diaz. I just
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: feel like as he goes, he's the leader. It seems
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: like he's one of the leaders of that team. Just
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: an absolute stud. And then for the Guardians, I think
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Stephen Kwan could be an X factor. Kind of been
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: quiet throughout the playoffs. I just feel like he's got
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: some big moments coming. Jose Ramirez is obviously their guy, right?
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: When he goes, everything goes there. He's the man in Cleveland.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: I like how you picked the leadoff guys because they
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: do set the tone. Those guys are the top of
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: the line. They're coming up. I like that. I like that.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: Birdie, good question there. Yeah.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: All right. Email from Gar-ay. Gar-ji?
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: Guar-ve? Guar-ve? I can't.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Yep. Thanks for emailing us. Sorry we're butchering the name.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: My question for the podcast is who was the best
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: prankster on the team when you were with the Cubs
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: and the best prank they played? Ooh. I've got one
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: and it's not, he's a, he's a cub, but I
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: didn't get, I played with him in Boston. His name's
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Ryan Dempster, an absolute legend, legend, comedian, prankster. Um, he
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: one time took Tim bus, we're doing Tim bus ball
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: bags and took his car, just old beat up car.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: All the team pitched in and bought him a new ride. Uh,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: but they destroyed his car, uh, purse right in front
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: of him and in spring training and then brought out
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: the new car. But, um, uh, Ryan Dempster and then, uh,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Tim Hudson, Tim Hudson and I used to, uh, try
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: to film, he would like hide in closet with like
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: a scream mask and we would steal, uh, you know
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: how they put the keys on the table when you
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: get to the hotel and you go and pick up
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: your key, you walk in kind of old school way. They, um,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: so we would take whoever's key it was and we
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: would go hide in their like bathroom or their closet.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: and I would film it, and he would put on
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: this Scream costume, and they would have to take too
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: long to go get a new key at the front
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: desk and come in. Bro, we've got Chris Medlin was
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: about to fight us. He got Eddie Perez, our coach.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: We got Eddie in Atlanta. I wasn't there yet, but
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: they filmed it with MLB, and it's online. You've got
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: to check that out, but two good pranks.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: That's great. Well, for fans, the old-school way was so
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: when you get to a hotel– They have all of
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: our keys. They have like fruits, drinks, sometimes cookies laid
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: out for us. And the veterans would, oh, your key
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: wasn't there. And if you're a rookie, you don't know
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: any better. If you're a young player, you don't know
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: any better. Or sometimes they legitimately just forget to put
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: your key out. And they would just take keys. Like
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: there was one time I walked into my room. All
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: my sheets were thrown in my shower. Everything was in
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: the shower. The shower was on, right?
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: I'm just like, fuck. That's great. That's so good. I
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: like that one.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: I think my biggest prankster for us, what comes to
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: my mind is Steve Ciszek. One year, he had these
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: little firework poppers that he would just attach to everything.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: He would tape it, so you'd pull out a bat. Boom!
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: He's like, what the?
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: And you would just hear pops all throughout the clubhouse
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: at all times. They'd be in the bat rack during
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: the game at times.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: That's great. A good prankster on the team keeps everybody loose.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: That's a good one. That's a good one.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: Yep. Good question. Email from Ewert. Hi, guys. So the
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: 2016 Cubs clearly made good friends with Eddie Vedder during
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: that season and since. Yes, we are. My question is
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: whether folks in the clubhouse were already Pearl Jam fans.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: And secondly, if y'all ever listened to PJ in the clubhouse. Additionally,
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: what are your favorite Pearl Jam songs?
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. Did we listen to Pearl Jam in the clubhouse? Like,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: especially when Ed comes around, you had to have his
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: music playing. You know, when he comes in the clubhouse,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: uh he is like the nicest most humble superstar hall
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: of fame legend that you're ever going to be around
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: the nicest guy treats us like family takes it he
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: comes to all the games that you hang out his
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: house um just a just a phenomenal human being but
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: um yeah I grew up on some Pearl Jam I'm
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: down here in the in the south so I grew
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: up on country but uh like Vitology the album Uh,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: I think my favorite song is better, man. Like I
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: feel like that's a terrible word.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: Sorry, Ed.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Um, but yeah, I think that that's the first one
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: that comes to my mind. There's so many great ones.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: Mine's alive. Uh, but yeah, it was always good seeing
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: him around and him coming around and getting to know
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: him and his family too. I, I have a good
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: story with him. We were in Seattle one time and
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: he used to always come when we were in Seattle
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: cause he's from there or he lives there and we
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: were chopping it up pregame and probably 20, 30 minutes
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: before the game, and he just asked, hey, you know,
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: he's in the cage with us in Seattle. And he's like,
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: can we stay? I'm like, yeah, absolutely. I'd like to stay,
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: watch us. And we're talking, we're laughing, and he's talking
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: to guys in the cage. And then as soon as
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: I started hitting, it just went silent. And I didn't
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: notice this while I was hitting. And Anthony Iaposi, our
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: hitting coach at the time, goes to me afterwards, he goes,
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: do you realize what just happened right there? I'm like, no, what?
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: He's like, That man understands what greatness looks like. And
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: he understands when it's time to lock in, he locked in.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: And when you started hitting, he just went silent and
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: let you lock in and watch you. And I was like, whoa,
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: that's pretty powerful there, Post. I thought that was just
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: really cool because when I go to sporting events or concerts,
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: I love going behind the scenes like that if I
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: can get that type of access. That's my favorite part.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: I love going early and watching warm-ups because I like
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: seeing people prepare and how they get locked in. So,
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know. That was just a cool story for me. But, yeah,
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: to answer your question, Uber, he was awesome. He was
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: incredible to us. He's incredible to our families. He's always
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: around handing out his picks to everyone. He's got the
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: 44 custom PJ picks, guitar picks.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Guitar picks, yeah. Well, just because you said that, like,
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: it's like when we get to do have those access
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: and go backstage and stuff, I'm always super sensitive of like, like,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: don't let me get in your routine. Don't let me
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: mess things up. You know, I'm like in the back,
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: I love being back there and watching guys get ready.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: And like you said, lock in, uh, about to go entertain,
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: you know, 40, 50 to 60,000 people, uh, maybe more.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: And you know, they've got to get in a certain
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: headspace just like we did. So I'm always sensitive to that,
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: but it's cool to watch guys get locked in.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: Awesome. So, Good Tim Buss ball bag questions of the day. Again, everyone,
