• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Craig Way, alongside the producer Cameron Parker, plenty to discuss
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: not only the Longhorns game and win over Vanderbilt and
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: the upcoming bye week on the schedule, the rest of
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: the SEC and national college football scene. We'll get to
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: that next hour of the program. Game three of the
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: World Series is tonight. It's in the Bronx, It's in
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: New York, a Yankee Stadium. Dodgers lead the Yankee two
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: games to none, and Gene Watson, our MLB Inside will
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: join us for his examination of the first two games,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: which were really interesting and that both came down to
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: I didn't think about this until I read about it
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: later like this morning, that both games, Cameron Parker, came
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: down to bases loaded to out, nine tending situations decided
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: in entirely different fashions, although in both cases it went
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: to the Dodgers' advantage. The Freddie Freeman Grand Slam on Friday,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: in what was a really entertaining game, went back and
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: forth of scoreless going into the sixth Dodgers get a run.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Yankees get that monstrous to run homer from John Carlo Stanton.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Dodgers scratch and claw to find a way and he
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: ate the tiet the Yankees and it goes into the tenth,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: and then the Yankees get the run in the top
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: of the tenth, and then there's Freddy Freeman after after
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the intentional walk to load the vases and boom, Freddy
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Freeman goes deep with the Grand Slam home run in
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers win Game one, Game two Saturday night. And
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: that was the deal when we were talking about me
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: going and getting the chicken damage from Bojangles a race
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: back in the hotel room. I didn't get back in
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: the room watching it till the bottom of the seventh,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: but got there and then obviously saw that come down
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: to there in the ninth when the Dodgers got out
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: of the bases loaded jam in the ninth after the
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Yankees had scored a run in La wins it by
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: a score of four to two, so they're up two
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: games to nine. Did you were you watching Friday? Watching
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: watching on Friday? And you know I texted you in
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: hard after Freeman's walk off Grand Slam because remember Game
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: one of last year's World Series, Corey Seeger, with two
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: outs in the bottom of the ninth, hit a solo
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: shot that tied it up, that sent it to extras
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and then a Doulas Carcia had a walk off home
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: run in extra inning. So I think it's back to
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: back years where we've had a walk off home run
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: to the side.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Game one where the home team won. So now Game two,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: I was an ugly diamondback that just blew out the Rangers.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: So Game two came out of the bout ninth inning.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: You might question a few Craig, is, how is your
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: mental health? How's your heart rate? You know, did you
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: need blood thinners? I mean it's a lot when when
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: both games come down the ninth inning, because I think
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: playoff baseball it's so much fun, Craig, but I feel
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: like out of all the sports, it has a different
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: level of anxiety with it because all it takes is
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: just one pitch to go wrong or go right, and
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: that can completely decide the outcome of the game.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that, you know, and I kind of, you know
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: what else, I kind of equated to a Stanley Cup
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: final playoff game because it can change so quickly, you know, uh,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: to do that? I was when they squandered The Dodgers
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: squandered a couple opportunities to add more runs, and particularly
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I didn't have a real good feeling going into that
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: bottom of the tenth, especially after the yank hees Haid
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: scored in the top of the tenth. I agree, but
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: you know, when the walk came to pitch to Freddie Freeman,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I thought, he's I was just thinking a base hit.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: He's capable of putting one in the gap that tie. I,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: like everybody else, couldn't leave. It was a grand slam,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: and it happened. And then in Game two I could
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: see It's almost like I could see the gas going
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: out of the tank of Blake training there in the night,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: and that it was going to get in away, getting away,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: and then he gives way to Vessia and Lynn and
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I were texting. I said to think about VESSI is
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: this he could strike the guy out or hit him
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: and tie the score. And it only took one pitch,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: but it was a pop up and that was the end.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: And so it's two games done. But I and I'm
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: not just saying this because of being a Dodger fan.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I'm also saying this as a realist who's watched a
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: lot of baseball over the years, that this series is
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: far from over all that has happened is that the
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: home team has defended its home turf in the first
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: two games. There's that old saying that the best of
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: seven series really doesn't start until a road team wins
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: a game. So we'll see how it is. And the
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: pitching is still better set up for the Yankees, even
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: though the Dodgers have gotten uncharacteristically at least for this
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: year and this postseason in particular, good starting pitching in
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: the first two games, both from Jack Flaherty who went
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: five innings, and then Yoshinoba Yamamota went six and a
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: third and did a really good job with that. So
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: but the bullpens looked a little more vulnerable in each
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: of those two games, giving up some runs, and the
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Yankees will say the Yankees got to get Aaron Judge going.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: He just really floundering right now. So we'll see. As
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: far as we know, Shoe Aotani will play. It is
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: a sublexation of his left shoulder, but Dave Roberts sounded
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: confident yesterday that he probably would be back in action.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: So we'll discuss more of that with Gene Watson coming up. Okay,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: let me answer this Craig. Yeah, so you mentioned you
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: watched the game in your hotel room. I did. So.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: You also said that Roger Will went to a sports bar.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: So are you someone that does not like to watch
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: when your team plays with other people, you.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Want to be by yourself. Well, in that particular instance,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I didn't because I didn't know the surroundings of that
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: particular sports bar there. Rogers said, I wouldn't have enjoyed it.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: On Friday Audios, I ordered a pizza in the room
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: and sat and ruminated. Rogers said, I would not have
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: enjoyed it in the sports bar because there was a
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: how shall I put this, an ecumenically based conference going
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: on in the hotel. So he said, there were a
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: lot of church faith based people in that sports bar
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: who were not spending much money at the bar, but
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: they were kind of loud and boisterous and all that
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: other kind of stuff, and it would have been difficult
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: to concentrate on what I was watching and hearing and
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: things like that. That's why I thought about doing it
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: the next night. And I'm at this point, it's so
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: late in the game and I'm hungry. Just grab something
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: and go to the room. That's why I'm not university
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: opposed to that. I remember when the Dodgers lost the
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Cubs in sixteen, in twenty sixteen game six, when they
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: beat Kershaw in one game six and the Cubs we're
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: going to go to the World Series. I watched that
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: in a pizza joint near the Kansas City Airport. I
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: had a hotel room there and I was going to
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: come back the next morning, but I watched it in
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: this pizza sports bar thing. I remember watching that, So
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: I'm not universally opposed to it. It's just that particular
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: set of circumstances. I wasn't up for it. So we'll see.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: We'll all be watching on that. Okay. I know you
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: were watching yesterday the end of Washington in Chicago. Now
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: there's two things at work here on this. I have
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: a stat for you too. Okay. First of all, it
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: was the Bears. Remember trying when they could have put
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: things away, when they tried to do the refrigerator Perry
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: thing and the handoff and he got fumbled, and so
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: that was that was one thing. But then they go
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: ahead and they take the lead, and then it comes
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: down to the you know, after Roshawn Johnson had scored
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: the touchdown the former long one to give the Bears
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: the lead. So then you see what happens with there
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: were in the in the waning seconds of the game,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: the Bears had two seconds to work with. So are
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: the commanders did oh Chicago rush three linemen? They had
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: a fourth defender spy for when Jane Daniels was going
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: to get out of the pocket, and none of the
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: defenders really got close to him, and he rolled one
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: side and he rolled back to the other side as well,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: and then the Bears had had put guys down by
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: the goal line and one bay. It actually is kind
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: of a basic play when you throw a hail Mary's
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: that you put one guy behind, yeah, the scrum in
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: case it's a tip drill, Well, it's a defense. You
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: got to put one guy on that guy that there
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: were five guys, five guys on the ball coming down,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: nobody behind nobody, and uh it was Tyreek Stevenson over
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: there taunting the fans and oh wait, I gotta go
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: finish defending this play. And he goes run it over
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: there and he's the one who tips it. Uh to
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: do it? Just a ma that that happened. And then
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Noah Brown catches it. It's a touchdown when the game's over.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Oh man.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: So this is from Mike Sando with the Athletic Craig.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: The Commanders were the forty eighth team since two thousand
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: the takeover possession down three at least seventy five yards
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: away from the opponent's goal line, with about fifteen to
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: twenty five seconds remaining on the game clock when the
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: ball was kicked off to them. Now, the previous forty
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: seven teams, five made game time field golds, two missed
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: the field goal.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: None.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: None had ever scored a touchdown until Washington did it yesterday. Wow,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: creating history. And you know, I know they're an NFC
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: East rival. I know my dad and a lot of
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: other Cowboy fans grew up hating the Redskins at the time.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: But with all the Dan Snyder stuff, Craig that's happened
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: to them, this feels like good karma, right. I feel
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: like we can root for them because of all the
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: crap with them in the stadium. And I don't know,
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: I like Jayden Daniels. You know, Sam Cosby plays for
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: them for me to Texas Longhorns, So kind of a
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: you know, a feel good story, and it's a lot
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: better than seeing the Eagles of Giants win. So okay,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: But for Chicago, you know, now, because they've had a
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: pretty easy schedule, that's the game you probably should win.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: You win that, you have five wins, and now you're
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: looking at I think they have to play Detroit twice.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: I think they have Green Bay twice. I think they
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: have Minnesota twice, if I if I remember correctly, maybe
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: they played one of those before. Now the schedule gets
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: really tough, gets really tough. So Chicago's gonna look back
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: on that as one man, how do we.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: How do we lose that? Tyreek Stevenson did apologize. That's good,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: that's haunting the Washington crowd. Second blaces to Chicago and teammates.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: My apologies for lack of awareness and focus. The game
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: made over till zero hit the clock. Can't take anything
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: for granted. Notes taking improvement will happen. Hashtag bear down.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: So there was all right. Coming up. We'll hear more
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: from long Ward's head coach, Steve Sarkisian here on sports
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Radio AM thirteen under the Zone and the iHeartRadio app.
