Lions win shootout over Seahawks on Monday Night Football, MLB Postseason begins today · The Craig Way Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Good afternoon, everybody. Welcome to the program here on Sports
• 0:02
  Radio A. I'm thirteen hundred the Zone on this Tuesday afternoon.
• 0:05
  My name is Craig Way. Glad to have you with us,
• 0:08
  and joined as always by the producer Cameron D.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Parker.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: The D and Laburth certificate stands for Dallas, as in
• 0:16
  his favorite pro football team that he has deemed unwatchable
• 0:20
  in his eyes, so he's not going to watch them
• 0:24
  until they and unless reached the NFC Championship game. So
• 0:29
  the D has to stand for something else, maybe dethroned
• 0:33
  since the Texas Rangers now officially are no longer the
• 0:37
  defending world champions since the playoffs has begun and they
• 0:40
  cannot defend the title any longer.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're just the twenty three world champions now.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's still the most recent one, most recent world
• 0:47
  champions and that pain will be a little less hurtful
• 0:52
  if the Detroit Tigers can go ahead and win this
• 0:55
  game and maybe win tomorrow, we'll be okay.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Years shot in freud isn't overdrive as it is for
• 1:06
  many Ranger fans whenever the Astros are playing. And I
• 1:10
  remember last year during the playoffs in the World Series.
• 1:14
  How the Astros fans were rising up rooting for the
• 1:18
  Diamondbacks or the teams that were playing after the Astros
• 1:22
  lost to the Rangers. So I won't keep you in
• 1:25
  suspense any longer. The Astros and Detroit Tigers are underway
• 1:29
  and game one of their Wild Cards Series. Here's the
• 1:32
  good news for Astros fans. The Tigers pitcher Scuball, who
• 1:39
  won the Triple Crown of pitching wins strikeout cra may
• 1:44
  have to leave the game.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: He'd been controlling.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: He set the Astros down in order in the first,
• 1:51
  got the first out in the second, and took a
• 1:53
  line shot that bounced in and hit him in the hand,
• 1:56
  and he threw to first to get the wrong out.
• 2:00
  So he's retired the first five batters he's faced.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: However, training staff is out there with him.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: They're gonna look at it and see and it was
• 2:10
  just a wicked one hopper and I believe I'm not
• 2:15
  sure off of whose bat that was, but it hit
• 2:17
  him pretty squarely.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Uh been, You're done?
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And he recovered Scoo ball did to throw the
• 2:26
  first to get himut, and they're gonna let him have
• 2:28
  I think a warm up toss or too. But anyway, meanwhile,
• 2:31
  the Detroit ta here's the bad news. The Troy Tiger
• 2:33
  scored three runs off from her Valdez in the top
• 2:37
  of the second inning, including three consecutive two out hits,
• 2:41
  and so now Detroit is up three to nothink Scooball,
• 2:44
  by the way, is staying in there, and he just
• 2:46
  threw a pitch for a strike to Jeremy Pania, So
• 2:50
  we'll see if it affects him, but right now he
• 2:54
  looks like he's okay again. So Game one of that
• 2:58
  American League Wild Cards and the Tigers have jumped on
• 3:02
  the Astros three to nothing as Houston bats in the
• 3:05
  bottom half of the second game.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: We'll keep you posted on that one.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: The second day game starts in about an hour and
• 3:11
  that's in Baltimore where the Orioles will host the Kansas
• 3:14
  City Royals. Game one of that later this afternoon Game
• 3:18
  one of the National League Wildcard series in Milwaukee between
• 3:22
  the Brewers and the New York Mets. And tonight is
• 3:25
  Game one of that Wildcard series between the San Diego
• 3:29
  Potters and the Atlanta Braves. That after the craziness that
• 3:32
  happened yesterday, speaking of baseball coming up in the four
• 3:38
  o'clock hour, we'll visit with Geene Watson, our baseball insider,
• 3:44
  our MLSB baseball insider.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: By the way, Scoo Bold does look okay.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: He just set the Astros down an order again in
• 3:50
  the second, so they're going to the third with a
• 3:52
  three to nothing Detroit Lee. So Geene Watson will join
• 3:55
  us in the four o'clock hour. We always get his
• 4:00
  annual predictions on the postseason, even though Game one here
• 4:03
  between Detroit and Houston might already be in the books
• 4:05
  by then, but I've been kind of given a preview,
• 4:08
  so this is his predictions are official. So Gina will
• 4:11
  join us in the four o'clock hour. Three o'clock hour.
• 4:14
  This being a Texas Tuesday and a Texans or a
• 4:19
  Texan Tuesday. The reason why it's Texan is because Cam
• 4:24
  Parker rolls back with the return cuts out of breaks
• 4:26
  from some Texas musical artist and in some cases legends
• 4:31
  and in other cases icons. For example, Stevie Ray, the
• 4:36
  late Stevie Ray Vaughn. We hear from him in the
• 4:39
  two o'clock hour. We hear from the iconic Willie Nelson
• 4:43
  in the three o'clock hour and the King George straight
• 4:45
  in the four o'clock hour. We hear those. So that's
• 4:48
  what I mean by Texan Tuesday. But it's a Texas Tuesday.
• 4:53
  Normally we hear from long worn football players during this
• 4:57
  time of year on a Texas Tuesday, but this being
• 5:00
  an open date on the schedule a bye week, there
• 5:03
  are no media availabilities involving long wrn football players. And
• 5:06
  we heard some from Loghorn's head coach Steve Sarkeishan yesterday
• 5:12
  from his news conference. We've got a few more cuts
• 5:15
  from him to let you hear some thoughts from him
• 5:18
  on a couple of players in specific. But also it's
• 5:21
  a Texas basketball Tuesday. In this case, Loghorns had an
• 5:27
  open session their last old forty to forty five minutes
• 5:30
  of their practice this morning over at Moody Center, open
• 5:34
  to the media. They came over and then Rodney Terry,
• 5:37
  long Horn's head coach, addressed the media afterwards on the
• 5:39
  progress of the team. Their season opener comes up one
• 5:44
  month and two days one month and three days from today,
• 5:48
  November fourth, in Las Vegas against Ohio State at the
• 5:53
  Team Oble Arena. So we'll hear from Rodney Terry coming
• 5:57
  up and that will be coming up here as well
• 6:03
  this afternoon. And back to football every Tuesday on a
• 6:08
  Texas Tuesday, we talked football in the state of Texas,
• 6:12
  both at the collegiate and high school levels with Greg Temper,
• 6:16
  managing editor of Dave Campbell's Texas Football magazine, and temp
• 6:19
  will join us in the three o'clock hours he does
• 6:21
  every Tuesday and we'll get his thoughts on the college
• 6:25
  football It just took places past weekend, what's to come
• 6:27
  this week and also some big high school matchups as well,
• 6:30
  So that's that is all coming up.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Did you watch some Monday night football last No?
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: You?
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: What did you do last night? Hurt yourself? I heard
• 6:39
  you morning? That was this morning?
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Last I know I did. I did watch Inday night
• 6:43
  football this morning. I hurt myself doing what weightlifting?
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: I'm not doing too good today, Craig. We're put too
• 6:51
  much on the bar, did you? Yep, just a little bit.
• 6:53
  Didn't have somebody to spot for you. Bad form hurt
• 6:59
  you back?
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, hopefully it doesn't last too too long. Hopefully
• 7:08
  things will be okay. But ouch, why couldn't you just
• 7:11
  stick to basketball on Mondays. Then that was that was
• 7:15
  relatively less harmful. Yeah, right after this may just that
• 7:19
  might just be the move going forward.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, all right, all right, so you did
• 7:24
  watch you did watch them football?
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there there was no defense in that Seattle Detroit game.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: What a fun back, very offense in the other game. Yeah.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: I did not watch a single snap of Tennessee Miami,
• 7:38
  thank you, no sir, no interest whatsoever. But Detroit Seattle
• 7:44
  delivered in I mean Geno Smith, who of course we
• 7:48
  got the cement West Virginia. I mean he threw from
• 7:49
  with six hundred passing yards. He was setting all kind
• 7:53
  of personal records last night against Detroit. But just a
• 7:57
  couple bad turnovers. And really Seattle, who was missing four
• 8:02
  starters going into that game and then I think they
• 8:04
  lost two more during the game, just could not find
• 8:07
  a way to really stop the Detroit defense except for
• 8:10
  Detroit othink, except when Jared Goff was taking safeties in
• 8:14
  his own end zone.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: So a fun game though.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: But if you're I mean, if you're a Lions fan,
• 8:18
  you feel good about this team going forward?
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Did you get enough points out of Jami or Gibbs
• 8:24
  wind or going I know.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: I'm sure you did too it, David mint Count, I
• 8:27
  didn't know. Well, I had too much ground to make up.
• 8:30
  Oh he did well for me, but it wasn't quite enough.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Put it this way, I went from getting blown out
• 8:35
  to respectably losing.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: So my first loss.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I thought about you when I saw Gibbs
• 8:41
  score the second touchdown, thought I.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Can't might have got enough to win his game.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Yep, that second touchdown just put me over and good,
• 8:48
  we'll too good.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Coming up, we're gonna hear more from Logrorn's head coach,
• 8:54
  Steve Sarkisian. We'll hear from him. We're gonna hear from
• 8:57
  Rodney Terry, Texas men's basketball coach this afternoon. We do
• 9:01
  have inconceivable coming up this hour. We'll have that Greg
• 9:04
  Tepper from Dave Campbell's Texas Football magazine next hour and
• 9:08
  Gene Watson our MLB Insider with the postseason preview. It
• 9:12
  is still three nothing Detroit. The Tigers have a runner
• 9:15
  at third with two down in the top of the
• 9:17
  third inning. As Fromer, Valdez has struggled a bit. He's
• 9:21
  had fifty pitches working in the top of the third
• 9:23
  with two outs and a runner at third base, so
• 9:26
  we'll keep you posted on the afternoon playoff baseball that
• 9:31
  is going on, as well as our conversations on football
• 9:35
  and basketball. By the way, and the Astros were able
• 9:38
  to get out of the third on a great play
• 9:40
  by Jeremy Payney to get a humpback liner to save
• 9:44
  a run, so it's still three nothing Tigers, leaving the
• 9:48
  Astros Houston wing to bat in the bottom half of
• 9:51
  the third inning. This is sports Radio AM thirteen under
