It's like searching FSR. Oh. Everyone all wants one deep breath.
We could finally relax.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Everybody a little sleepy after Game three last night. Unbelievable,
instant classic, dude, it was an epic game for the
age's history was made and we reaped all the benefits.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
All right, Baseball's right.

But my goodness, we're coming off one of the best
baseball games you will ever see in your life, and
(01:04):
we'd be rocking out so great, man, I'm still processing
and we had the entire day to do, so we
talked about it on our Patreon.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
We're talking about it to.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Everyone, and we see The first thing I thought of
when I woke up this morning was the game, Like,
oh my god, I feel so privileged to have witnessed it.
I know that sounds corny, but I mean that as
a baseball fan. Keep in mind if you're new to
the show. I dislike both teams, but I got to
tip my hat here to great baseball. And that's what
(01:39):
I feel like we saw yesterday because everything counted, and
the plays that looked like they were easy plays, they
were not. Can you imagine the composure needed to perform
at that level in those moments trying in that night sky.
You know, the plays that were made were remarkable. Everything counted,
(01:59):
everything was high highlighted, And just props to everybody involved
in that game, and everyone has stayed up late and
everyone that was there. My goodness, it was epic, and
we got to talk about it eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox
Your Takeaways, And of course there was a football game.
(02:19):
We all had intentions on checking it out. I didn't
know who won until like this morning, but here I
did not know until afterward when I, you know, watched
the highlights. It was one of those games last night,
Rich where although it was late on the West coast,
I know it's three am, almost three am. You must
be lonely on the East coast. Have eternal Klef is
gonna rock you. It's three heah him, almost three a m.
(02:42):
You know, we're approaching midnight on the West Coast and
I'm sitting there hoping that it continues. That's how exciting
it was for me. If you're a Dodgers fan or
a Blue Jays fan, I get it, you just want
somebody to win your stomachs and knots. But me just
as a baseball fan, and we said it the other day,
we're on the precipice of a sports renaissance in baseball
(03:07):
being part of that. We're seeing great teams, great games,
a great World Series. You know, I just wanted it
to continue. I'm like, let's go for twenty moments of
that game. And I'm not even talking about the main
ones we'll talk about. I'm talking about ti Oscar to
Edmund to Will Smith, two perfect throws on a relay
to get a Blue Jay trying to see it from third,
(03:28):
and it took a perfect relay. I don't fall the
Blue Jays at all for taking chances even though he
was clearly out. It took perfect throws, a perfect relay
to make those plays. And I think if you're gonna
beat the Dodgers, you gotta take risks. You gotta take
those chances. You and I were saying how some plays
that might seem obvious on a major league level, the tents,
(03:51):
Oh my god, do or die? Feeling of last night,
for instance, Varshaw and center field to tracking down a
ball that it's not routine at the fence all Matt.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Like that made it look rute.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
How many times, Danny g Is you were texting us
like what marine layer of air is out there?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Those balls were hit like moonshots and then just died
right before the fence.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
I mean, the will Smith one was just one of them,
but there was there was a few that you're like,
oh my god, oh no, the pay Oscar one.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
And because of that, the radio call Steven Nelson on
AM five seventy here in Los Angeles, I think was
a little gunshot because of all the warnings.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
I think Joe Davis was too. He was like, do
you fly ball to center field before it strikes? Smith
died like yeah, it was like I think they were
all gunshot. You're right because I follow him on social media.
He's great the radio announcer. Yeah, fantastic watching him make
the calls. But yeah, there was a little gunshy vibe.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Like is it going?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
And anytime something big happens, whether it be in basketball, football,
or baseball, we always come back excited, and we asked ourselves,
are we prisoners of the moment? I don't think we are.
I think that it's one of the top three games
of our lifetime. I can't even think of two better.
I'm just trying to be fair here. I think this
is a game we're gonna tell our grandkids about. We're
(05:15):
gonna be old guys feeding the ducks, and I think,
are those picking grandkids are gonna be like.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Grandpa, were you alive when it went eighteen innings? In
the world? Theory that the daughters meet.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
And you're like, I'll never forget even damn ship two
home runs alndro by the way, there's so many storylines.
Clearly the unsung heroes like Climb coming through a big
moments clearly Freddie Freeman is a World Series hero, but dude,
cursh curse. But can I say this on a Taco Tuesday.
(05:47):
I think it's important for the Brown guys. As a
half breed vato loco, I feel it's in my in
my duty to say that a La hontro, you had
to harp on the duty and ruin my moment duty.
I'm trying to, man, I'm trying to make a really
good point here, you know, for the Brown guys, the
(06:08):
unsung heroes. Alejandro Kirk the first Mexican to ever hit
a World Series home run. But do you see this
guy battling? Dude, he battles, and I feel like he
sets the tone for these Blue Jays that scratch when
he's in the batter's box. He's fouling off pitches, he's
working your bullpen. And you know, he obviously wasn't in
(06:29):
the later innings of the game, which cost him maybe,
but this dude's gonna step up big again, and I
feel like his his his approach is contagious with that
Blue Jays lineup.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
So props to him.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Props to them too, man, because I don't feel like
they lost the game in any way, somebody had to win,
and Freddie Freeman hit a bomb, dude.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
So that's another thing that nobody's really talking about.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
Though.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Will Smith never came out, so he was back there,
you know, catching that entire almost seven hours.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
He must be in an ice bath still, right now.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
That's such a great point, you know, honestly, I feel
like you're the first.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
You're the first guy I heard even mention it. Danny.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
That's the truth. I didn't even think about that. Took
it totally for granted. The Blue Jays backup catcher had
four at bets, they played two games.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
He played two games.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Back to back behind the dish in a terribly stressful situation.
All right, So clearly we're excited. And keep in mind,
rich and I are not Dodgers fans. I'm a Yankees fan.
Rich I don't know. I feel like he's on the fence.
We'll explain, Danny g Dodgers fan. Iowa, Sam, you mean
to tell me that you're a Dodgers fan and you
(07:36):
didn't find that to be an amazing game last night?
Speaker 6 (07:38):
Who said that? I don't know who said Richie said that.
I didn't never, I never said that, like a frown
when I want. I was just saying that, like, you
can have a long you could have sliced out for
four or five innings. In the back half of that
you couldn't have could, Like that's why we have the
games at nine innings and not twelve innings. It's not
a game of cricket. But I love the game. Like
I was just like, okay, let's just end this. Like
(08:00):
it was. I spent my emotional I burned my emotional
gunpowder from the fifth inning to the to the seventh inning,
and then it was like locked up, locked up, locked up.
It just kept going. It was a draw. It was
a stalemate, and the client stuff was amazing. But it
was just like, oh my god, it was the fifteenth inning.
The sixteenth inning.
Speaker 7 (08:18):
Bro.
Speaker 6 (08:19):
So now the Dodgers have the two Is this true?
The two longest World Series games? The one from twenty
eighteen to second and now this one is number one.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
That is crazy and thirty nine. No, it was. I
watched the whole thing front to back. It was amazing.
It was long. It was really long.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
When they were showing the highlights from earlier in the
game and it was like daytime.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Yeah, yeah, it's like, let's go back to the end.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
You're like, wait a minute, was you been playing you
don't remember playing, or like certain at bats.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I'm going to just call the series. Dodgers lead it
two and a half to one and a half, because
you get a half, you tie because of how long,
and make it that way because it was crazy. You
mentioned two full games. Its ran out of baseballs. I
know you know what, here's some ran out of pitchers.
Neg this is that viral meme that you sent us.
Eighteen innings, six hours, thirty nine minutes, a total of
(09:05):
six hundred and nine pitches, one hundred and thirty at bats.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
That's crazy. One hundred thirty at bats, nineteen pitchers. We
witnessed last night five home runs, which is kind of
low in an eighteen inning game with two powerhouses. But
five home runs, big home runs, four Otani intentional walks,
but you got the house. Yeah, he got on base
nine times. Insane. Clayton Kershaw got in the game. Rich
(09:29):
has a whole thought on that, But that itself was
an event. And we found Waldough finally. I don't know
if you saw that, but we found Waldough last night
in the middle of all the Mainlee stars were out,
people stayed up late. On a side note, if your
kid stayed up late to watch, did you send them
to school? If you were at the game in your
(09:51):
little kid, do you go to school the next day
to brag about it? Or do you stay home? Don't
you go to school to break you know? I'm glad
we stayed up late this again. We'll never forget this game.
I truly believe it's one of those games we'll talk
about for years and we'll never forget. There's very few
games that you could put in the category of this game.
The only one that comes to mind right out the
gate is that the David Freeze Cardinals Texas Rangers game
(10:16):
that went back and forth, lead changes and everything. There's
only a few games that are of that level of magnitude.
You know what the difference is, though, and I remember
that game clear as day. I think the star power
and familiarity with these players and these teams is far
superior than that series. I agree, there's so many superstars
on the Dodgers. You're really impressed by the Blue Jays
(10:37):
and who they are. You're getting to know them. If
you're not a Blue Jays or an American League fan,
I feel like the star power is much greater. And
here's the craziest part of all. Unless you're some sort
of mister grundy, some sort of grumpy kind of a hole.
Both teams are very likable, and I have a hard
time saying that.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Again, I'm a Yankees fan.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
It's hard to hate on both teams, even if they
are the evil empire of today. They're likable guys on
the Dodgers and the Blue Jays. Blue Jays are a
great team. Dodgers are extremely likable. Mookie Betts, Shohil Tani,
Freddie Freeman, Clayton Kershaw.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Is there some j hole out there? I don't even
know what that means. What's a j hole? I don't
know figure it out. Jerk hole doesn't get at old though.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
I like it. I I'm in it. I'm in it.
I don't like that. You're right, hip flexer. They're liable.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Yeah, well, Brenda always says it's kind of goofy, and
that makes them a little kind of likable because they
don't take themselves too seriously.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Show hey, how to do three?
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Before he was acknowledged yesterday, he was left hanging he
did one, no one did anything. He did it again,
no one noticed, he did it again, and finally like
I love it the same way when my lowly mets
do their little roll into the fists, you know, the
fist pumps.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
I love those type of things. Kind of corny.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
But the kids on the kids on my t ball team,
you know, we do that when they get a big hit,
like you know, do the Dodger thing. Listen this so
many layers. I just want to hit out a couple
of points right now, go ahead. Alex Call could have
ended this game with a sackfly, and I'm so glad
he didn't, because a game like that, Yeah, Iowa Sam
was like, come on, feld Spot. This spot was like
(12:20):
can this team?
Speaker 6 (12:21):
And we were locked at five for eleven innings. I
locked at five for eleven.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Is why it was great.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
I thought that if Alex Call would have won that
game on a sackfly, it di something just so anti
climactic about that. So when he popped up to short,
I was like, good, I was ready for the Dodgers.
But I'm like, that's it can't end like at all
that And I agree. I didn't want any intentional I
mean like walking home. A week after it, there was
(12:50):
another moment that was like, oh my god, just the
nerves and the fun sasaki when he almost underhand threw
the ball too low for first and then you see
him smiling, Like the nerves but Freddy.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Walking it off.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I mean, it couldn't have been more perfect for a
guy that the only guy in Major League.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Baseball history to do it two times.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Now a perfect bomb too dead center, like right over
it was a three eighty five, three ninety five something, yeah,
and lay over the three ninety five mark.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
And to dv's point earlier about how Steven Nelson was gunshy,
I heard them play the call on Sports Center early
this morning, and I'm like, that's the call, because yeah,
he didn't want to just assume it was a home
run after everything we saw.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
There was like the boy they cried home run because
three three shots before that were all arguably like oh
my god, it might be gone. But you know what
tells the story years from now if kids ever bring
that up like that was the call, Like yeah, but
you don't understand there's a few bombs hit prior to that,
and then it makes more sense, so.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
I get it. I mean get it.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
We listen, amateurs get tricked all the time. You watch
a game with someone even at the stadium, like, oh
my god, it's just a pop up, slips it down.
Baseball fans that are seasoned were all tricked live and
in television everywhere. On that Will Smith one, it looked
like he got all of it, and the Sabermans and
everything show that every ball hit at that trajectory launch hangs.
(14:18):
Everyone was one hundred and two miles per hour exit
of last.
Speaker 6 (14:22):
Yeah, so you could see how for everybody too. Right
in like the thirteenth or fourteenth, I was like, this
one's go, this was gonna end it. Nope, everybody, can you.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Play the final radio called just to prove that even
the best or a little gun shy in that moment, full.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Count on Freeman, Little delivers Freeman.
Speaker 8 (14:37):
It's one high in the air, straight away center field, far.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
So hat the walk.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
God, wow, Freddie Freeman, Mister World series.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Ends the marathon hat midnight.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
But at first it just sounded like a pop up,
like one of the many pop up you know.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
He ramped up to it at the very end because
the first like it's a deep center field, it's going back. Uh, yeah,
there was Grandpa. What happened there? Well, let me tell
your kid. Yeah, it was really thick that night. It
was a thick air night in October. What does that mean, Grandpa,
I don't know, but it was wild to see. It
(15:23):
was the atmosphere. Man, I was keeping all the balls
in least. It's there's so many layers and so many
things to mention, but I want to focus on one thing. Okay, okay,
because I got something, I got we go we all
have something eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. I
finally did it yesterday. I bought my kid a Dodger's jersey.
Boy what because he's he's in T ball. I'm a
(15:44):
Mets fan, but I can't force my kid to only
like my team. He's like dad, I love the Mets.
But he calls himself Benny Betts. I was telling you
so last night. I said, you know what, Amazon overnight,
let me buy him a blue Mookie Bets jersey. He
calls himself Benny Bets. So well, it's a team. Like
you said, even if you're not a fan, it's very
hard to hate all the characters on this team. Here's
(16:07):
what I think when you say that you grew up
a Mets fan your whole life from New York. Your
son's growing up in LA. But of course he'll appreciate
the Mets because dad does. But there were certain athletes
growing up that transcendent sports, and we all know who
they were. Even if you were a Knicks fan, you
(16:28):
had a Jordan poster in your room. Even if you
were a Yankees fan, you had a Ken Griffy Junior
poster in your room. Right, So if you're a Giants fan,
you had a Bo Jackson poster in your room. There's
certain athletes that transcended sports. And this entire Doctor's team
to start there, all those dudes are along that caliber.
Nkey Bets, Shohil Tani, Freddie Freeman, and even a Kershall
(16:51):
like certain guys, and we're growing up in a time
where you root for players. I get it, he's allowed
to do that. I have to accept that. You know,
our boss Scott, who's a big Minnesot, the guy he
was there with his kids who are Dodgers fans.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Your kids, could you know, root for your team with you?
But wiscon stay the whole time? He did? He did? Yeah,
and his son was wearing a Freeman Jersey to me,
I changed my mind.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
I think, if your kids growing up in a city,
why are you going to force your They could root
with you, but you can't just force all your alliances
your That's what your family is on your family crest
do you have, mister met you you come from a
long line of loser I mean Mets fans.
Speaker 6 (17:34):
Growing up in the city, though they're surrounded by fans
that are rooting for the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
All his little buddies are Dodgers fans. The Dodgers are great.
My son loves baseball, so.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
It's like, what am I gonna do? Like, no, no, no,
you say you love them more than me. That's what
you say to them.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
Yet, kidd guys, I'm joking. Is he Nobody laughed? I'm kidding, kidding.
He should not say.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
That because is he a Mookie Bets fan or a
Dodgers fan?
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Likes the Dodgers. Oh that's tough, man. But do you
know what I thought about it? Him not be a
little front run And I'm like, you know what, he's
an l a kid. What do I care?
Speaker 2 (18:05):
What connection to New York does he have. I'm a
long line of Mets out Not many teams are around.
It's a sixties meeting, like my dad. Yeah, but I
feel like it's part of Like, Look, we as Americans
don't have a whole lot of culture, right, We're a
melting pot and our country is not that old. Part
of your culture is we're Mets. I'm from New York.
(18:26):
I'm a Mets guy. So you like the Mets. Everyone
out here is primarily transplants. A lot of transplants out here.
He's allowed to like the Mets. He's making a choice.
You could help, but it's it's a smart choice. I'm
not going to force him to like my team if
he's like dad.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Yeah, but baseball's different football. I get it. Football.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
There's weird alliance and allegiances and weird choices you make
as a football fan Baseball, so you stay within the family.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Bro. That's how I feel. But it's your kids. So
what do I know?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
I mean, what am I gonna do? Be like, No,
don't like the greatest team with all the greatest characters.
I say, you root for the Mets. But it's okay
that you like Betts and Otani and these guys. They're
great players. You like you're a fan of greatness.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
I get it, you know, as you hope for you
hope for the Mets to go on a run, so
then they become winners. The Dodgers maybe hit hard times
and then he's pulled back in and that's what happens.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
I got.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
But then I asked myself, how did I fall in
love with the Mets the eighties when they were great
with Darryl and Goodin and Gary Carter, Keith Hernandez. So
a team with marquee superstars that wins over a city
is why I became a Mets fan when I was
five six years old.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Son is five six years old.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
So the way I felt about Gary Carter and Keith
and Darryl, he's feeling that about these guys.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
So what type of jerk? Dad? What I mean? Not
only that, not only for your kid.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Yeah, millions of kids all over the world that were
watching this game, worldwide, Japanese fans on the edge of
their seat, right, you got all of Canada watching, You
got everybody tuning into these big superstars. These are core
memories for the little kids. These little kids will never
forget that heroic moment of Freddie Freeman hitting that bomb,
you know, and it gives hope that even little kids
(20:09):
with bad haircuts could still be great.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
You think Freddy Freeman got bad haircut? I'm a little
flat Are you shopping for a flat top?
Speaker 2 (20:17):
But anyway, yes, just come count and give me twenty
great great dental were you, mister buzzcut?
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Also, what makes it interesting I think living in the
city we're in right now, is that it's one of
the few cities that baseball MLB is more popular than NFL,
and we have both teams.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
So think about it, rich you.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
I remember the story where your daughter told them, I
don't want that Ram stuff. Your kids aren't selling out
for the Rams and Chargers. They're true. My kids are Niners.
I'm Niners and Mets. My kids Niners and Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
I bet you the.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Dodgers are converting a lot of little kids out there
because they're that good and they're that likable, and that's
why you pay the big bucks to these guys. Well,
so your thoughts, I got two more quickly things. They
will take your feedback. We're gonna get to NFL two
and I see the phones are hot. So your thoughts
on last night? Was it a top three game in
the last fifty years, the answer is yes. If not,
I want to know the other games, world series games.
(21:11):
That is, there's been some playoff games and but but
world series games. It's hard to argue this isn't a
top three of at least the last fifty plus because
there's so many storylines in stories, so many moments. I
didn't even mention Yamamoto yet we didn't even get the.
Speaker 8 (21:26):
Ed.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
I mean, I'm gonna be a can't do it.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
You know, I'm gonna be a absolute homer in saying this.
But I mean you who wouldn't argue that Mets eighty
six game six two outs and you know you score
three runs David Freeze against the Rangers and this one.
I can't think of any other World series the Gibson.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
So that's it. So now you're talking abouts four.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Would you what's a better game for you as a
Dodgers and this or Freddie with the Grand Slam last year.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
She died.
Speaker 9 (21:58):
I don't know, but that was, you know, it's last year.
Had to me for the Grand Game one, Freddie me Gibbey.
It was definitely less exhausting, so you know, you rounded
out with us. But the fact that it was eighteen innings,
I think adds to it.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
The only thing that was missing, the only thing it
was missing, and I'm here, I'm being very nitpicky. Is
someone scoring an extras and the other team matching them.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
I thought that was gonna happen. I love when that happens.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Let's say the Blue Jays had put up a one
spot in the top of the fourteenth and the Dodgers
come back and tie it with one. Like, the only
thing that was missing was maybe a little offense in
those tense moments, but two observations and will break and
take all your feedback. The only thing we missed out
by this game not going twenty something innings? Didn't you
want to see the warrior mentality of Yamamoto the guys
(22:49):
a day removed from Pigeon of complete game, straight up warriors.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
You know what that was. It was like Daniel Larusso's
gonna fight.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Were some like Japanese Japanese pride, samurai honor like like
he was.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
That would have been the most crazy thing in the world.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
If Yama Moto was like I'm pitching, yeah, he was
warming up though. That was insane and as a just
a fan of sports. Your stomach had it being knots
when they called Clayton Kershaw's number with the bases loaded,
two outs, and then when it was a full count
and you're like, don't throw a ball, don't end this
way Clayton when he got out of that inning, I
(23:25):
felt like a Dodgers fan for a split second. And
I'll say it, I really did. I wasn't even that
was an easy play by Edmund And.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Yeah, and by the way, Kershaw did throw a ball,
just got lucky because you know he chased it.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Well, yeah, well, and then there was like two or
three foul balls. Foul balls, My god, Danny.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
I felt like in those moments it had to be
in my life a top three moment of where I
was invested, not with my team.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
I couldn't watch.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
I had to get up, and I'm like, I don't know,
I'm by the dishes for no reason. My wife was
My wife was pulling her sweatshirt for her eyes, like
like I can't. And if you follow, because you farted
because you were so nervous. If you follow my Instagram,
Carino swears that I was like getting drunker or higher
(24:09):
as the game went on. I was just slap happy
in a little I was just terribly stressed and tired
like everyone else. Well, you make the call. Go to
Rich's Instagram story right now. All right, I had a
Rich David, I had an edible drink.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Is it a game? Oh? Well, there it is, that
wasn't it. You can tell pure jubilation in jubilee. Yeah,
you know game.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
The game last night really brought out the glassy eyed
and everybody. Oh, you know what, Decide for yourself and
we'll take all your feedback. Next on the Dodgers. Was
it a top three World Series game over the last
fifty years? Can I just say this, Rich, it's not

Now we go to the phones because we well me personally, Rich,
I don't know I needed something like that. I thought
(27:16):
that was just so much fun, dude. And I woke up,
like I said, you know when you wake up and
you assess your morning, like do I need to be
grumpy about anything?
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Is everybody healthy? You know?
Speaker 2 (27:28):
You look at your phone and I hope you don't
say anything bad. I woke up and I immediately start smiling.
So I'm like that game last night was electric. That
was awesome. That's why we love sports. It brings people together,
the excitement in the air, so much fun to talk about.
And we all got to witness it worldwide last night,
(27:49):
you know, and you know what, hold on, here's.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
The best part. We do it again today with game four. Today,
I don't know if I can handle.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Oh my god, today the Blue Jays win in a
weird game and it gets tied too taibls my, that's
my instinct.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Or the Dodgers just step on the gas and it's
over like that might have been the or throws a
no hitter. I mean, does Tony get a mulligan if
he if he has a rough outing, do you give
him a mulligan for everything he's done up to this point?
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Like he didn't sleep well? Yes, stan Byer, How do
you guys think Shane Beaver is gonna do? I heard
you say that. I heard you say that like that.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
I know Rich's head turned right to Cavino and I
could hear him say.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
I think he just said Shane beef.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
You saw it, right, Yeah, well I know what I
said him, Like, how did I say Beaver?
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Rich?
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Can't let those things pass when he fumbles a word,
you're all supposed to pretend like it didn't happen, acts
like a pro coveno. I could've been there, but you
did say Beaver. So Shane Beaver tonight for so Tony,
it's more fun. Let's be real, I said, justin biab
in attendance again he was. Bieber was there to thumbs down,
(28:54):
and that also made it fun. You know where you
saw Bieber on Bert Krusher's Instagram story. You know Bert Krescher,
the comedian that takes a shirt off.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
We all know Bert.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Bert was sitting like five rows behind Bieber and he
was like, not shy man, He's.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Like, yeah, we're here. Yeah there's Bieber, look at him,
look at him.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Oh look there's al Michaels Like, so h he was
a fun follow last night? Are pal Bert Kreischer? You
were a fun follow because you were you were you
think I was high. I was feeling nice, Okay, feeling nice.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Rich's eyes were looking like po has his eyes. Yes, yeah,
you can say it. The hothead's eyes.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Kids were sleeping, The wife and I were just having
such a lovely night watching this game. We had other plans,
like the kids went to sleep early, and we were like,
all right, I'm gonna get some recording done from Sirius
XM and we'll watch a movie. We'll watch one of
our shows after the Dodgers game. It ended up being
such a memorable night. And I want to say something
my wife said as a casual fan, you know, she
(29:51):
doesn't watch clearly as much as I do, but she
said the juxtaposition, and she did use that word. You
were five dollar between watching Clayton Kershaw come in there
with his grizzled gray beard, knowing that this could be
the last inning he pitches in a Hall of Fame career,
(30:11):
his family. You had a nervous stomach.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
It brought fans to tears.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
And then you see, oh that's why your eyes were
all glassy like that.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
It was emotions. I get it. See now you're getting it.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
It was all emotions, Cavino. But you watch and you
see Clayton Kershaw go through that emotional high of this
is it could be my last pitch, my last inning.
Faces loaded, two outs, full count, and then the guy's
falling pitches off and you're like, Jesus Chris, oh my,
Like I was, Danny, I was pacing. Like I said before,
(30:46):
my wife was pulling her head into her sweatshirt.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
She could have watched.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
And then you go from Kershaw to Henriquez and then Kline.
And by the way, Henriquez find wild at times. It
rolls like one hundred two miles per hour. But during
the regular season we saw him throw wild pitches, and
so when he came in, I was like, oh.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Please he did hit him at it. He did. I
was like, oh, please keep it in the strikes up.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
But Danny, when I'm saying, let me just say that
one more time, just the juxtaposition, which is such.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
A great word.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
You just wanted to say that again of a guy
that it's the end. And then you turn to the
next inning to a twenty three year old Venezuelan kid
who's probably like, oh my god, I'm waging over my head.
I'm usually wild throwing one hundred and two. And then
you go to a guy that started the season with
the A's, was with the Mariners, just made the postseason
(31:36):
roster a couple of days ago, and he's put in
the position to be the hero.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Like everything about it was special.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
How about on the other side, the Blue Jays lower
what he throws seventy pitches as a relief dame.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
That was wild.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
The Blue Jays played a great game too, they just
happen to be on the losing end of it, So
props to both teams. You mentioned klein Rich. His story
in itself is amazing. Started with the A's and the
Mariners got bounced tough round. Now he's celebrating with superstars
in the game comes up big. Hearing him talking about
something pitch performance, his career high before that was thirty
six pitches or whatever, and the most unsung heroes not
(32:11):
even will Klein but hold on to hear him.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Talk about it, though, Cove, we listened to it earlier,
you and I.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Where he's saying when Freddie shohey, Mooky and those guys
are cheering around him. He said, it's like it's better
than what he possibly could have ever dreamt in like
his fantasies.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Yeah yeah, Mattie.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
If you told this guy in the beginning of the
season about the redheaded bearded guy the beginning of the season,
you're gonna be in a Game three World Series moment
where sho hey, Mookie and Freddie freemanirle cheering you on.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
He would be like, no way, you're out of your mind.
That's cute. No way.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Yeah, And it happened and he got the win last night.
But the real hero of that whole situation was the
ball boy.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Brandon I think his name.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Was Brandon, came in with his little weak ass mustash
to take the dirt off his cleat.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Did you see that? Yes?
Speaker 2 (33:04):
And it made all the difference, didn't That also add
to just what a bizarre, wild, fun, memorable night it
is like in the middle of all that chaos, Brendon it.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Was almost a moment of levity too, because when he.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Comes out there and you like a popsicle stick and
you see Klein like, we had a tongue is it
called tongue un depressive pressor?
Speaker 1 (33:23):
And I take them off?
Speaker 2 (33:24):
At one point you realized Client's like, I can't really
reach my cleat the right way.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
He does it.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
He pets the ball boy and they both give like
a smirking smile laugh in the middle of the most
tense game of their lives. So memorable. So many memorable moments,
and I'll get We'll get to all your phone calls.
How about that eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox,
We get to you right after Dan Bayer's update What up?
Speaker 1 (33:47):
dB?
Speaker 4 (33:47):
Should also be noted Steve Cavino liked my tweets about
that incidence of the bat boy running.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
To the mound.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
You know why I did, because I don't care what
kind of guy you are. I'm a Dan Bayer. Yeah,
I really not to say stand, but I'll go now
just all right, I'll repost it and say you're the man, Dan.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
The alert popped up liked by Steve Cavino, not by
Covino and Rich. Sometimes it's the show handle, but this
was a Steve Covino solo shot. Dodgers up to one
Shane Bieber against show Hey Otani. Tonight, Blue Jays and
Dodgers cover John Fox four. Game four of the World
Series is at seven o'clock Eastern time. Some news from
the NFL. The scenes are going to start. Rookie Tyler
(34:25):
SHOWKT quarterback week nine against the Rams, replacing Spencer Ratler,
who will now be the backup for New Orleans Bills.
Plays defensive tackle at Oliver On injured reserve with the
torn biceps, while Chiefs running back Isaiah Picchecko suffered a
spring MCL and last night's win over the Commanders. He's
considered week to week. According to reports, The Chiefs have
the Bills coming up in week nine, then a bye
(34:46):
in week ten. Chief stopped the Commanders in that game
last evening. No Jayden Daniels for Washington, but head coach
Dan Quinn said today that Daniels should be in the
practice plan this week. Patriots and corner Marcus Jones agreed
on a three year extension. Bucks forward Kyle Kuzma should
play tonight against the Knicks after missing Sunday's game with
an ankle injury. And finally, guys, I don't know if
you've seen it, Saudi Arabia plans to build a sky stadium.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
Dude, I saw that, and you know in an AI
world dB, I was like, I don't know, is this true?
Speaker 4 (35:13):
This that looks absurd For the twenty thirty four World Cup.
It would be more than three hundred and eighty yards
above ground level, yes, and would be a site for
the the soccer matches in eight years. A sky scraper
with a stadium on top.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Honestly, I can't even when I saw it, I'm like, no,
we goot ai who had a sword?
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Dude? It is insane.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
In fact, if Dan Buyer posted, I'll make sure to
retweet it for you.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
Guys to see the stadium it's you know.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
In fact, I just retweeted you saying I'm a damn
Buyer guy. All right, thank you and thank you Dan Bayer,
So we get you involved next, everybody, hang tight. There's
lots to say about the game last night, and like
I said, we still have another one today. So oh
and we debut a new member of the show. We
made a purchase.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
We'll explain.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
It's gonna be awesome. All next. CNR on FSR.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
Hang tight.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
My dad would say, why you kissing ass? Well, you
kissing ass? But I just emailed the boss to tell
him that I was happy to hear that he stayed
at that game last night. I mean, even if he
didn't he used to tell everybody did. Oh yeah, but
I did see the footage on his Facebook. No, but
major cool dad points. If that's the game you chose
(36:32):
to take your family to, you're able to go, and
it's one of those instant classic epic games like that.
That's hitting the sports baseball jack. I feel bad, but
there are people that were deciding what game should I
buy tickets to, and they're probably very angry if they
chose today. I mean show Hay's pitching, Baber's pitching. I'm sorry,
(36:52):
Beaver's pitching. It could be a great game. But off
the heels of that, I don't know. I just feel like,
how do you stack up against one of the greatest evers.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
Well, we'll see.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
Now we're getting to your phone calls, but first it's
time for our tirect play of the Day. People are
running out of adjectives to describe last night's Game three
of the World Series. Freddie Freeman finally got a ball
to break through the thick LA smog.

silver field. Our show's going back be pull that strategy

the Fox Sports Radio Studio. We talk football. Next hour,
we go to your phone CAUs now in Culver City, NY.
Speaker 5 (38:10):
As a Dodger fan, you know, asked this kicked by
the Braves in the nineties. To be able to celebrate
this run, it's been amazing. I mean, that game within
itself felt like a movie in Hollywood. It started out
with the Kirk three run homer and then Otani coming
back with a double to tie and getting home run
to tie the game and say we're not losing. I mean,
(38:33):
we didn't even talk about Otani and into two home runs.
And then you get to the extra innings, curse all
the Hall of Famer coming in cold with the bases.
Oda by the way, get this guy out the ball
you're three and two counts, Oh my god, out And
then you got a Will Klein with the kid that
the bat boy like it's like it's a movie, the
(38:53):
guy smiling like it's a game.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
In June, Kevin I just watched the footage. They did
a split screen of Kershaw and his wife in the crowd,
and not to be corny on you, I got a
little emotional when you see his wife and you see
the emotions and stress she is feeling in that moment
and what she's probably been through married to him all
these years watching his career.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
That how could you not feel for that?
Speaker 2 (39:19):
Oh my god, Paul in Orlando, it's up, Paul, Hey,
Paul thany guys.
Speaker 7 (39:24):
Thanks taking the call. We get three observations of fourth.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
If you think I earn it, now what you got?
Speaker 7 (39:28):
So? First one is best line of the broadcast, Joe
Davis eighteenth inning saying Will kleinb guys, he didn't have
a beard when this game started.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
I did laugh at that one. I was like, that
was a good quick one liner.
Speaker 7 (39:43):
Second observation, you guys kind of stole my unsung VP.
Beat the MVP with the batmoy and the tongue depressor.
But how about another unsung MVP. Deeter the organist, Paul
he his hands in contrast, beast bro he was great
and another full game.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
He did a second seventh inning stretched and he was
playing all songs that were appropriate. Yeah, the organ player
was fantastic. All right, you earned your fourth one?
Speaker 1 (40:11):
Do you have one?
Speaker 2 (40:12):
One?
Speaker 1 (40:12):
Last one?
Speaker 7 (40:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (40:13):
Third.
Speaker 7 (40:14):
Third observations a personal one here. I started out the
game texting with Dodger fans fellow Dodger fans in Denver
and Portland. Not unusual for a West Coast game. But
get this, I ended the game texting with a colleague
traveling in Africa who woke up in time and the
game was so long he's able to catch the end of.
Speaker 1 (40:34):
The game's wild.
Speaker 2 (40:37):
But honestly, everything about it, I'm hoping everyone feels the
way we did. But it was just a magical night
of baseball, and it ended the way it had to
end with with, like I said, a superstar hitting a
walk off. It would have felt so flat, like I said,
if it was like an Alex call sackfly.
Speaker 6 (40:53):
I think Smoltz made the comment that the commanders were
already back on the flight and in home in bed
and they were able to watch the end of the game.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
That's that's crazy in itself.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
So we're going to get to a little NFL next
because let's just say a new purchase was made on
this show and we debut a new character here On
CNR next

But my goodness, we're coming off one of the best
baseball games you will ever see in your life, and
(01:04):
we'd be rocking out so great, man, I'm still processing
and we had the entire day to do, so we
talked about it on our Patreon.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
We're talking about it to.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Everyone, and we see The first thing I thought of
when I woke up this morning was the game, Like,
oh my god, I feel so privileged to have witnessed it.
I know that sounds corny, but I mean that as
a baseball fan. Keep in mind if you're new to
the show. I dislike both teams, but I got to
tip my hat here to great baseball. And that's what
(01:39):
I feel like we saw yesterday because everything counted, and
the plays that looked like they were easy plays, they
were not. Can you imagine the composure needed to perform
at that level in those moments trying in that night sky.
You know, the plays that were made were remarkable. Everything counted,
(01:59):
everything was high highlighted, And just props to everybody involved
in that game, and everyone has stayed up late and
everyone that was there. My goodness, it was epic, and
we got to talk about it eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox
Your Takeaways, And of course there was a football game.
(02:19):
We all had intentions on checking it out. I didn't
know who won until like this morning, but here I
did not know until afterward when I, you know, watched
the highlights. It was one of those games last night,
Rich where although it was late on the West coast,
I know it's three am, almost three am. You must
be lonely on the East coast. Have eternal Klef is
gonna rock you. It's three heah him, almost three a m.
(02:42):
You know, we're approaching midnight on the West Coast and
I'm sitting there hoping that it continues. That's how exciting
it was for me. If you're a Dodgers fan or
a Blue Jays fan, I get it, you just want
somebody to win your stomachs and knots. But me just
as a baseball fan, and we said it the other day,
we're on the precipice of a sports renaissance in baseball
(03:07):
being part of that. We're seeing great teams, great games,
a great World Series. You know, I just wanted it
to continue. I'm like, let's go for twenty moments of
that game. And I'm not even talking about the main
ones we'll talk about. I'm talking about ti Oscar to
Edmund to Will Smith, two perfect throws on a relay
to get a Blue Jay trying to see it from third,
(03:28):
and it took a perfect relay. I don't fall the
Blue Jays at all for taking chances even though he
was clearly out. It took perfect throws, a perfect relay
to make those plays. And I think if you're gonna
beat the Dodgers, you gotta take risks. You gotta take
those chances. You and I were saying how some plays
that might seem obvious on a major league level, the tents,
(03:51):
Oh my god, do or die? Feeling of last night,
for instance, Varshaw and center field to tracking down a
ball that it's not routine at the fence all Matt.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Like that made it look rute.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
How many times, Danny g Is you were texting us
like what marine layer of air is out there?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Those balls were hit like moonshots and then just died
right before the fence.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
I mean, the will Smith one was just one of them,
but there was there was a few that you're like,
oh my god, oh no, the pay Oscar one.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
And because of that, the radio call Steven Nelson on
AM five seventy here in Los Angeles, I think was
a little gunshot because of all the warnings.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
I think Joe Davis was too. He was like, do
you fly ball to center field before it strikes? Smith
died like yeah, it was like I think they were
all gunshot. You're right because I follow him on social media.
He's great the radio announcer. Yeah, fantastic watching him make
the calls. But yeah, there was a little gunshy vibe.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Like is it going?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
And anytime something big happens, whether it be in basketball, football,
or baseball, we always come back excited, and we asked ourselves,
are we prisoners of the moment? I don't think we are.
I think that it's one of the top three games
of our lifetime. I can't even think of two better.
I'm just trying to be fair here. I think this
is a game we're gonna tell our grandkids about. We're
(05:15):
gonna be old guys feeding the ducks, and I think,
are those picking grandkids are gonna be like.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Grandpa, were you alive when it went eighteen innings? In
the world? Theory that the daughters meet.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
And you're like, I'll never forget even damn ship two
home runs alndro by the way, there's so many storylines.
Clearly the unsung heroes like Climb coming through a big
moments clearly Freddie Freeman is a World Series hero, but dude,
cursh curse. But can I say this on a Taco Tuesday.
(05:47):
I think it's important for the Brown guys. As a
half breed vato loco, I feel it's in my in
my duty to say that a La hontro, you had
to harp on the duty and ruin my moment duty.
I'm trying to, man, I'm trying to make a really
good point here, you know, for the Brown guys, the
(06:08):
unsung heroes. Alejandro Kirk the first Mexican to ever hit
a World Series home run. But do you see this
guy battling? Dude, he battles, and I feel like he
sets the tone for these Blue Jays that scratch when
he's in the batter's box. He's fouling off pitches, he's
working your bullpen. And you know, he obviously wasn't in
(06:29):
the later innings of the game, which cost him maybe,
but this dude's gonna step up big again, and I
feel like his his his approach is contagious with that
Blue Jays lineup.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
So props to him.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Props to them too, man, because I don't feel like
they lost the game in any way, somebody had to win,
and Freddie Freeman hit a bomb, dude.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
So that's another thing that nobody's really talking about.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
Though.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Will Smith never came out, so he was back there,
you know, catching that entire almost seven hours.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
He must be in an ice bath still, right now.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
That's such a great point, you know, honestly, I feel
like you're the first.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
You're the first guy I heard even mention it. Danny.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
That's the truth. I didn't even think about that. Took
it totally for granted. The Blue Jays backup catcher had
four at bets, they played two games.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
He played two games.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Back to back behind the dish in a terribly stressful situation.
All right, So clearly we're excited. And keep in mind,
rich and I are not Dodgers fans. I'm a Yankees fan.
Rich I don't know. I feel like he's on the fence.
We'll explain, Danny g Dodgers fan. Iowa, Sam, you mean
to tell me that you're a Dodgers fan and you
(07:36):
didn't find that to be an amazing game last night?
Speaker 6 (07:38):
Who said that? I don't know who said Richie said that.
I didn't never, I never said that, like a frown
when I want. I was just saying that, like, you
can have a long you could have sliced out for
four or five innings. In the back half of that
you couldn't have could, Like that's why we have the
games at nine innings and not twelve innings. It's not
a game of cricket. But I love the game. Like
I was just like, okay, let's just end this. Like
(08:00):
it was. I spent my emotional I burned my emotional
gunpowder from the fifth inning to the to the seventh inning,
and then it was like locked up, locked up, locked up.
It just kept going. It was a draw. It was
a stalemate, and the client stuff was amazing. But it
was just like, oh my god, it was the fifteenth inning.
The sixteenth inning.
Speaker 7 (08:18):
Bro.
Speaker 6 (08:19):
So now the Dodgers have the two Is this true?
The two longest World Series games? The one from twenty
eighteen to second and now this one is number one.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
That is crazy and thirty nine. No, it was. I
watched the whole thing front to back. It was amazing.
It was long. It was really long.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
When they were showing the highlights from earlier in the
game and it was like daytime.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Yeah, yeah, it's like, let's go back to the end.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
You're like, wait a minute, was you been playing you
don't remember playing, or like certain at bats.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I'm going to just call the series. Dodgers lead it
two and a half to one and a half, because
you get a half, you tie because of how long,
and make it that way because it was crazy. You
mentioned two full games. Its ran out of baseballs. I
know you know what, here's some ran out of pitchers.
Neg this is that viral meme that you sent us.
Eighteen innings, six hours, thirty nine minutes, a total of
(09:05):
six hundred and nine pitches, one hundred and thirty at bats.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
That's crazy. One hundred thirty at bats, nineteen pitchers. We
witnessed last night five home runs, which is kind of
low in an eighteen inning game with two powerhouses. But
five home runs, big home runs, four Otani intentional walks,
but you got the house. Yeah, he got on base
nine times. Insane. Clayton Kershaw got in the game. Rich
(09:29):
has a whole thought on that, But that itself was
an event. And we found Waldough finally. I don't know
if you saw that, but we found Waldough last night
in the middle of all the Mainlee stars were out,
people stayed up late. On a side note, if your
kid stayed up late to watch, did you send them
to school? If you were at the game in your
(09:51):
little kid, do you go to school the next day
to brag about it? Or do you stay home? Don't
you go to school to break you know? I'm glad
we stayed up late this again. We'll never forget this game.
I truly believe it's one of those games we'll talk
about for years and we'll never forget. There's very few
games that you could put in the category of this game.
The only one that comes to mind right out the
gate is that the David Freeze Cardinals Texas Rangers game
(10:16):
that went back and forth, lead changes and everything. There's
only a few games that are of that level of magnitude.
You know what the difference is, though, and I remember
that game clear as day. I think the star power
and familiarity with these players and these teams is far
superior than that series. I agree, there's so many superstars
on the Dodgers. You're really impressed by the Blue Jays
(10:37):
and who they are. You're getting to know them. If
you're not a Blue Jays or an American League fan,
I feel like the star power is much greater. And
here's the craziest part of all. Unless you're some sort
of mister grundy, some sort of grumpy kind of a hole.
Both teams are very likable, and I have a hard
time saying that.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Again, I'm a Yankees fan.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
It's hard to hate on both teams, even if they
are the evil empire of today. They're likable guys on
the Dodgers and the Blue Jays. Blue Jays are a
great team. Dodgers are extremely likable. Mookie Betts, Shohil Tani,
Freddie Freeman, Clayton Kershaw.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Is there some j hole out there? I don't even
know what that means. What's a j hole? I don't
know figure it out. Jerk hole doesn't get at old though.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
I like it. I I'm in it. I'm in it.
I don't like that. You're right, hip flexer. They're liable.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Yeah, well, Brenda always says it's kind of goofy, and
that makes them a little kind of likable because they
don't take themselves too seriously.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Show hey, how to do three?
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Before he was acknowledged yesterday, he was left hanging he
did one, no one did anything. He did it again,
no one noticed, he did it again, and finally like
I love it the same way when my lowly mets
do their little roll into the fists, you know, the
fist pumps.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
I love those type of things. Kind of corny.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
But the kids on the kids on my t ball team,
you know, we do that when they get a big hit,
like you know, do the Dodger thing. Listen this so
many layers. I just want to hit out a couple
of points right now, go ahead. Alex Call could have
ended this game with a sackfly, and I'm so glad
he didn't, because a game like that, Yeah, Iowa Sam
was like, come on, feld Spot. This spot was like
(12:20):
can this team?
Speaker 6 (12:21):
And we were locked at five for eleven innings. I
locked at five for eleven.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Is why it was great.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
I thought that if Alex Call would have won that
game on a sackfly, it di something just so anti
climactic about that. So when he popped up to short,
I was like, good, I was ready for the Dodgers.
But I'm like, that's it can't end like at all
that And I agree. I didn't want any intentional I
mean like walking home. A week after it, there was
(12:50):
another moment that was like, oh my god, just the
nerves and the fun sasaki when he almost underhand threw
the ball too low for first and then you see
him smiling, Like the nerves but Freddy.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Walking it off.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I mean, it couldn't have been more perfect for a
guy that the only guy in Major League.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Baseball history to do it two times.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Now a perfect bomb too dead center, like right over
it was a three eighty five, three ninety five something, yeah,
and lay over the three ninety five mark.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
And to dv's point earlier about how Steven Nelson was gunshy,
I heard them play the call on Sports Center early
this morning, and I'm like, that's the call, because yeah,
he didn't want to just assume it was a home
run after everything we saw.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
There was like the boy they cried home run because
three three shots before that were all arguably like oh
my god, it might be gone. But you know what
tells the story years from now if kids ever bring
that up like that was the call, Like yeah, but
you don't understand there's a few bombs hit prior to that,
and then it makes more sense, so.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
I get it. I mean get it.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
We listen, amateurs get tricked all the time. You watch
a game with someone even at the stadium, like, oh
my god, it's just a pop up, slips it down.
Baseball fans that are seasoned were all tricked live and
in television everywhere. On that Will Smith one, it looked
like he got all of it, and the Sabermans and
everything show that every ball hit at that trajectory launch hangs.
(14:18):
Everyone was one hundred and two miles per hour exit
of last.
Speaker 6 (14:22):
Yeah, so you could see how for everybody too. Right
in like the thirteenth or fourteenth, I was like, this
one's go, this was gonna end it. Nope, everybody, can you.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Play the final radio called just to prove that even
the best or a little gun shy in that moment, full.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Count on Freeman, Little delivers Freeman.
Speaker 8 (14:37):
It's one high in the air, straight away center field, far.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
So hat the walk.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
God, wow, Freddie Freeman, Mister World series.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Ends the marathon hat midnight.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
But at first it just sounded like a pop up,
like one of the many pop up you know.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
He ramped up to it at the very end because
the first like it's a deep center field, it's going back. Uh, yeah,
there was Grandpa. What happened there? Well, let me tell
your kid. Yeah, it was really thick that night. It
was a thick air night in October. What does that mean, Grandpa,
I don't know, but it was wild to see. It
(15:23):
was the atmosphere. Man, I was keeping all the balls
in least. It's there's so many layers and so many
things to mention, but I want to focus on one thing. Okay, okay,
because I got something, I got we go we all
have something eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. I
finally did it yesterday. I bought my kid a Dodger's jersey.
Boy what because he's he's in T ball. I'm a
(15:44):
Mets fan, but I can't force my kid to only
like my team. He's like dad, I love the Mets.
But he calls himself Benny Betts. I was telling you
so last night. I said, you know what, Amazon overnight,
let me buy him a blue Mookie Bets jersey. He
calls himself Benny Bets. So well, it's a team. Like
you said, even if you're not a fan, it's very
hard to hate all the characters on this team. Here's
(16:07):
what I think when you say that you grew up
a Mets fan your whole life from New York. Your
son's growing up in LA. But of course he'll appreciate
the Mets because dad does. But there were certain athletes
growing up that transcendent sports, and we all know who
they were. Even if you were a Knicks fan, you
(16:28):
had a Jordan poster in your room. Even if you
were a Yankees fan, you had a Ken Griffy Junior
poster in your room. Right, So if you're a Giants fan,
you had a Bo Jackson poster in your room. There's
certain athletes that transcended sports. And this entire Doctor's team
to start there, all those dudes are along that caliber.
Nkey Bets, Shohil Tani, Freddie Freeman, and even a Kershall
(16:51):
like certain guys, and we're growing up in a time
where you root for players. I get it, he's allowed
to do that. I have to accept that. You know,
our boss Scott, who's a big Minnesot, the guy he
was there with his kids who are Dodgers fans.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Your kids, could you know, root for your team with you?
But wiscon stay the whole time? He did? He did? Yeah,
and his son was wearing a Freeman Jersey to me,
I changed my mind.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
I think, if your kids growing up in a city,
why are you going to force your They could root
with you, but you can't just force all your alliances
your That's what your family is on your family crest
do you have, mister met you you come from a
long line of loser I mean Mets fans.
Speaker 6 (17:34):
Growing up in the city, though they're surrounded by fans
that are rooting for the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
All his little buddies are Dodgers fans. The Dodgers are great.
My son loves baseball, so.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
It's like, what am I gonna do? Like, no, no, no,
you say you love them more than me. That's what
you say to them.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
Yet, kidd guys, I'm joking. Is he Nobody laughed? I'm kidding, kidding.
He should not say.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
That because is he a Mookie Bets fan or a
Dodgers fan?
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Likes the Dodgers. Oh that's tough, man. But do you
know what I thought about it? Him not be a
little front run And I'm like, you know what, he's
an l a kid. What do I care?
Speaker 2 (18:05):
What connection to New York does he have. I'm a
long line of Mets out Not many teams are around.
It's a sixties meeting, like my dad. Yeah, but I
feel like it's part of Like, Look, we as Americans
don't have a whole lot of culture, right, We're a
melting pot and our country is not that old. Part
of your culture is we're Mets. I'm from New York.
(18:26):
I'm a Mets guy. So you like the Mets. Everyone
out here is primarily transplants. A lot of transplants out here.
He's allowed to like the Mets. He's making a choice.
You could help, but it's it's a smart choice. I'm
not going to force him to like my team if
he's like dad.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Yeah, but baseball's different football. I get it. Football.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
There's weird alliance and allegiances and weird choices you make
as a football fan Baseball, so you stay within the family.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Bro. That's how I feel. But it's your kids. So
what do I know?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
I mean, what am I gonna do? Be like, No,
don't like the greatest team with all the greatest characters.
I say, you root for the Mets. But it's okay
that you like Betts and Otani and these guys. They're
great players. You like you're a fan of greatness.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
I get it, you know, as you hope for you
hope for the Mets to go on a run, so
then they become winners. The Dodgers maybe hit hard times
and then he's pulled back in and that's what happens.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
I got.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
But then I asked myself, how did I fall in
love with the Mets the eighties when they were great
with Darryl and Goodin and Gary Carter, Keith Hernandez. So
a team with marquee superstars that wins over a city
is why I became a Mets fan when I was
five six years old.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Son is five six years old.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
So the way I felt about Gary Carter and Keith
and Darryl, he's feeling that about these guys.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
So what type of jerk? Dad? What I mean? Not
only that, not only for your kid.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Yeah, millions of kids all over the world that were
watching this game, worldwide, Japanese fans on the edge of
their seat, right, you got all of Canada watching, You
got everybody tuning into these big superstars. These are core
memories for the little kids. These little kids will never
forget that heroic moment of Freddie Freeman hitting that bomb,
you know, and it gives hope that even little kids
(20:09):
with bad haircuts could still be great.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
You think Freddy Freeman got bad haircut? I'm a little
flat Are you shopping for a flat top?
Speaker 2 (20:17):
But anyway, yes, just come count and give me twenty
great great dental were you, mister buzzcut?
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Also, what makes it interesting I think living in the
city we're in right now, is that it's one of
the few cities that baseball MLB is more popular than NFL,
and we have both teams.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
So think about it, rich you.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
I remember the story where your daughter told them, I
don't want that Ram stuff. Your kids aren't selling out
for the Rams and Chargers. They're true. My kids are Niners.
I'm Niners and Mets. My kids Niners and Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
I bet you the.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Dodgers are converting a lot of little kids out there
because they're that good and they're that likable, and that's
why you pay the big bucks to these guys. Well,
so your thoughts, I got two more quickly things. They
will take your feedback. We're gonna get to NFL two
and I see the phones are hot. So your thoughts
on last night? Was it a top three game in
the last fifty years, the answer is yes. If not,
I want to know the other games, world series games.
(21:11):
That is, there's been some playoff games and but but
world series games. It's hard to argue this isn't a
top three of at least the last fifty plus because
there's so many storylines in stories, so many moments. I
didn't even mention Yamamoto yet we didn't even get the.
Speaker 8 (21:26):
Ed.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
I mean, I'm gonna be a can't do it.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
You know, I'm gonna be a absolute homer in saying this.
But I mean you who wouldn't argue that Mets eighty
six game six two outs and you know you score
three runs David Freeze against the Rangers and this one.
I can't think of any other World series the Gibson.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
So that's it. So now you're talking abouts four.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Would you what's a better game for you as a
Dodgers and this or Freddie with the Grand Slam last year.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
She died.
Speaker 9 (21:58):
I don't know, but that was, you know, it's last year.
Had to me for the Grand Game one, Freddie me Gibbey.
It was definitely less exhausting, so you know, you rounded
out with us. But the fact that it was eighteen innings,
I think adds to it.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
The only thing that was missing, the only thing it
was missing, and I'm here, I'm being very nitpicky. Is
someone scoring an extras and the other team matching them.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
I thought that was gonna happen. I love when that happens.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Let's say the Blue Jays had put up a one
spot in the top of the fourteenth and the Dodgers
come back and tie it with one. Like, the only
thing that was missing was maybe a little offense in
those tense moments, but two observations and will break and
take all your feedback. The only thing we missed out
by this game not going twenty something innings? Didn't you
want to see the warrior mentality of Yamamoto the guys
(22:49):
a day removed from Pigeon of complete game, straight up warriors.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
You know what that was. It was like Daniel Larusso's
gonna fight.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Were some like Japanese Japanese pride, samurai honor like like
he was.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
That would have been the most crazy thing in the world.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
If Yama Moto was like I'm pitching, yeah, he was
warming up though. That was insane and as a just
a fan of sports. Your stomach had it being knots
when they called Clayton Kershaw's number with the bases loaded,
two outs, and then when it was a full count
and you're like, don't throw a ball, don't end this
way Clayton when he got out of that inning, I
(23:25):
felt like a Dodgers fan for a split second. And
I'll say it, I really did. I wasn't even that
was an easy play by Edmund And.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Yeah, and by the way, Kershaw did throw a ball,
just got lucky because you know he chased it.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Well, yeah, well, and then there was like two or
three foul balls. Foul balls, My god, Danny.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
I felt like in those moments it had to be
in my life a top three moment of where I
was invested, not with my team.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
I couldn't watch.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
I had to get up, and I'm like, I don't know,
I'm by the dishes for no reason. My wife was
My wife was pulling her sweatshirt for her eyes, like
like I can't. And if you follow, because you farted
because you were so nervous. If you follow my Instagram,
Carino swears that I was like getting drunker or higher
(24:09):
as the game went on. I was just slap happy
in a little I was just terribly stressed and tired
like everyone else. Well, you make the call. Go to
Rich's Instagram story right now. All right, I had a
Rich David, I had an edible drink.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Is it a game? Oh? Well, there it is, that
wasn't it. You can tell pure jubilation in jubilee. Yeah,
you know game.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
The game last night really brought out the glassy eyed
and everybody. Oh, you know what, Decide for yourself and
we'll take all your feedback. Next on the Dodgers. Was
it a top three World Series game over the last
fifty years? Can I just say this, Rich, it's not
all just baseball today.

Now we go to the phones because we well me personally, Rich,
I don't know I needed something like that. I thought
(27:16):
that was just so much fun, dude. And I woke up,
like I said, you know when you wake up and
you assess your morning, like do I need to be
grumpy about anything?
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Is everybody healthy? You know?
Speaker 2 (27:28):
You look at your phone and I hope you don't
say anything bad. I woke up and I immediately start smiling.
So I'm like that game last night was electric. That
was awesome. That's why we love sports. It brings people together,
the excitement in the air, so much fun to talk about.
And we all got to witness it worldwide last night,
(27:49):
you know, and you know what, hold on, here's.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
The best part. We do it again today with game four. Today,
I don't know if I can handle.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Oh my god, today the Blue Jays win in a
weird game and it gets tied too taibls my, that's
my instinct.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Or the Dodgers just step on the gas and it's
over like that might have been the or throws a
no hitter. I mean, does Tony get a mulligan if
he if he has a rough outing, do you give
him a mulligan for everything he's done up to this point?
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Like he didn't sleep well? Yes, stan Byer, How do
you guys think Shane Beaver is gonna do? I heard
you say that. I heard you say that like that.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
I know Rich's head turned right to Cavino and I
could hear him say.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
I think he just said Shane beef.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
You saw it, right, Yeah, well I know what I
said him, Like, how did I say Beaver?
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Rich?
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Can't let those things pass when he fumbles a word,
you're all supposed to pretend like it didn't happen, acts
like a pro coveno. I could've been there, but you
did say Beaver. So Shane Beaver tonight for so Tony,
it's more fun. Let's be real, I said, justin biab
in attendance again he was. Bieber was there to thumbs down,
(28:54):
and that also made it fun. You know where you
saw Bieber on Bert Krusher's Instagram story. You know Bert Krescher,
the comedian that takes a shirt off.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
We all know Bert.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Bert was sitting like five rows behind Bieber and he
was like, not shy man, He's.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Like, yeah, we're here. Yeah there's Bieber, look at him,
look at him.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Oh look there's al Michaels Like, so h he was
a fun follow last night? Are pal Bert Kreischer? You
were a fun follow because you were you were you
think I was high. I was feeling nice, Okay, feeling nice.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Rich's eyes were looking like po has his eyes. Yes, yeah,
you can say it. The hothead's eyes.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Kids were sleeping, The wife and I were just having
such a lovely night watching this game. We had other plans,
like the kids went to sleep early, and we were like,
all right, I'm gonna get some recording done from Sirius
XM and we'll watch a movie. We'll watch one of
our shows after the Dodgers game. It ended up being
such a memorable night. And I want to say something
my wife said as a casual fan, you know, she
(29:51):
doesn't watch clearly as much as I do, but she
said the juxtaposition, and she did use that word. You
were five dollar between watching Clayton Kershaw come in there
with his grizzled gray beard, knowing that this could be
the last inning he pitches in a Hall of Fame career,
(30:11):
his family. You had a nervous stomach.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
It brought fans to tears.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
And then you see, oh that's why your eyes were
all glassy like that.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
It was emotions. I get it. See now you're getting it.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
It was all emotions, Cavino. But you watch and you
see Clayton Kershaw go through that emotional high of this
is it could be my last pitch, my last inning.
Faces loaded, two outs, full count, and then the guy's
falling pitches off and you're like, Jesus Chris, oh my,
Like I was, Danny, I was pacing. Like I said before,
(30:46):
my wife was pulling her head into her sweatshirt.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
She could have watched.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
And then you go from Kershaw to Henriquez and then Kline.
And by the way, Henriquez find wild at times. It
rolls like one hundred two miles per hour. But during
the regular season we saw him throw wild pitches, and
so when he came in, I was like, oh.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Please he did hit him at it. He did. I
was like, oh, please keep it in the strikes up.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
But Danny, when I'm saying, let me just say that
one more time, just the juxtaposition, which is such.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
A great word.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
You just wanted to say that again of a guy
that it's the end. And then you turn to the
next inning to a twenty three year old Venezuelan kid
who's probably like, oh my god, I'm waging over my head.
I'm usually wild throwing one hundred and two. And then
you go to a guy that started the season with
the A's, was with the Mariners, just made the postseason
(31:36):
roster a couple of days ago, and he's put in
the position to be the hero.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Like everything about it was special.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
How about on the other side, the Blue Jays lower
what he throws seventy pitches as a relief dame.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
That was wild.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
The Blue Jays played a great game too, they just
happen to be on the losing end of it, So
props to both teams. You mentioned klein Rich. His story
in itself is amazing. Started with the A's and the
Mariners got bounced tough round. Now he's celebrating with superstars
in the game comes up big. Hearing him talking about
something pitch performance, his career high before that was thirty
six pitches or whatever, and the most unsung heroes not
(32:11):
even will Klein but hold on to hear him.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Talk about it, though, Cove, we listened to it earlier,
you and I.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Where he's saying when Freddie shohey, Mooky and those guys
are cheering around him. He said, it's like it's better
than what he possibly could have ever dreamt in like
his fantasies.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Yeah yeah, Mattie.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
If you told this guy in the beginning of the
season about the redheaded bearded guy the beginning of the season,
you're gonna be in a Game three World Series moment
where sho hey, Mookie and Freddie freemanirle cheering you on.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
He would be like, no way, you're out of your mind.
That's cute. No way.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Yeah, And it happened and he got the win last night.
But the real hero of that whole situation was the
ball boy.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Brandon I think his name.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Was Brandon, came in with his little weak ass mustash
to take the dirt off his cleat.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Did you see that? Yes?
Speaker 2 (33:04):
And it made all the difference, didn't That also add
to just what a bizarre, wild, fun, memorable night it
is like in the middle of all that chaos, Brendon it.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Was almost a moment of levity too, because when he.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Comes out there and you like a popsicle stick and
you see Klein like, we had a tongue is it
called tongue un depressive pressor?
Speaker 1 (33:23):
And I take them off?
Speaker 2 (33:24):
At one point you realized Client's like, I can't really
reach my cleat the right way.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
He does it.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
He pets the ball boy and they both give like
a smirking smile laugh in the middle of the most
tense game of their lives. So memorable. So many memorable moments,
and I'll get We'll get to all your phone calls.
How about that eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox,
We get to you right after Dan Bayer's update What up?
Speaker 1 (33:47):
dB?
Speaker 4 (33:47):
Should also be noted Steve Cavino liked my tweets about
that incidence of the bat boy running.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
To the mound.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
You know why I did, because I don't care what
kind of guy you are. I'm a Dan Bayer. Yeah,
I really not to say stand, but I'll go now
just all right, I'll repost it and say you're the man, Dan.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
The alert popped up liked by Steve Cavino, not by
Covino and Rich. Sometimes it's the show handle, but this
was a Steve Covino solo shot. Dodgers up to one
Shane Bieber against show Hey Otani. Tonight, Blue Jays and
Dodgers cover John Fox four. Game four of the World
Series is at seven o'clock Eastern time. Some news from
the NFL. The scenes are going to start. Rookie Tyler

Dan Quinn said today that Daniels should be in the
practice plan this week. Patriots and corner Marcus Jones agreed
on a three year extension. Bucks forward Kyle Kuzma should
play tonight against the Knicks after missing Sunday's game with
an ankle injury. And finally, guys, I don't know if
you've seen it, Saudi Arabia plans to build a sky stadium.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
Dude, I saw that, and you know in an AI
world dB, I was like, I don't know, is this true?
Speaker 4 (35:13):
This that looks absurd For the twenty thirty four World Cup.
It would be more than three hundred and eighty yards
above ground level, yes, and would be a site for
the the soccer matches in eight years. A sky scraper
with a stadium on top.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Honestly, I can't even when I saw it, I'm like, no,
we goot ai who had a sword?
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Dude? It is insane.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
In fact, if Dan Buyer posted, I'll make sure to
retweet it for you.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
Guys to see the stadium it's you know.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
In fact, I just retweeted you saying I'm a damn
Buyer guy. All right, thank you and thank you Dan Bayer,
So we get you involved next, everybody, hang tight. There's
lots to say about the game last night, and like
I said, we still have another one today. So oh
and we debut a new member of the show. We
made a purchase.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
We'll explain.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
It's gonna be awesome. All next. CNR on FSR.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
Hang tight.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
My dad would say, why you kissing ass? Well, you
kissing ass? But I just emailed the boss to tell
him that I was happy to hear that he stayed
at that game last night. I mean, even if he
didn't he used to tell everybody did. Oh yeah, but
I did see the footage on his Facebook. No, but
major cool dad points. If that's the game you chose
(36:32):
to take your family to, you're able to go, and
it's one of those instant classic epic games like that.
That's hitting the sports baseball jack. I feel bad, but
there are people that were deciding what game should I
buy tickets to, and they're probably very angry if they
chose today. I mean show Hay's pitching, Baber's pitching. I'm sorry,
(36:52):
Beaver's pitching. It could be a great game. But off
the heels of that, I don't know. I just feel like,
how do you stack up against one of the greatest evers.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
Well, we'll see.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
Now we're getting to your phone calls, but first it's
time for our tirect play of the Day. People are
running out of adjectives to describe last night's Game three
of the World Series. Freddie Freeman finally got a ball
to break through the thick LA smog.

Eleven fifty in Los Angeles. Fleman sounds a five dollus
silver field. Our show's going back be pull that strategy
them tis a right here. Get the last word hot.
Speaker 1 (37:35):

Speaker 2 (37:41):
That is courtesy of of course, Fox TV, our tirect
play the Day, Joe Davis's call.
Speaker 1 (37:47):

and freeback by. Free Road has a protection convenient insallation
options like mobile tire installation tirec dot com that we
tire by should be again. Cavino and Rich live from
the Fox Sports Radio Studio. We talk football. Next hour,
we go to your phone CAUs now in Culver City, NY.
Speaker 5 (38:10):
As a Dodger fan, you know, asked this kicked by
the Braves in the nineties. To be able to celebrate
this run, it's been amazing. I mean, that game within
itself felt like a movie in Hollywood. It started out
with the Kirk three run homer and then Otani coming
back with a double to tie and getting home run
to tie the game and say we're not losing. I mean,
(38:33):
we didn't even talk about Otani and into two home runs.
And then you get to the extra innings, curse all
the Hall of Famer coming in cold with the bases.
Oda by the way, get this guy out the ball
you're three and two counts, Oh my god, out And
then you got a Will Klein with the kid that
the bat boy like it's like it's a movie, the
(38:53):
guy smiling like it's a game.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
In June, Kevin I just watched the footage. They did
a split screen of Kershaw and his wife in the crowd,
and not to be corny on you, I got a
little emotional when you see his wife and you see
the emotions and stress she is feeling in that moment
and what she's probably been through married to him all
these years watching his career.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
That how could you not feel for that?
Speaker 2 (39:19):
Oh my god, Paul in Orlando, it's up, Paul, Hey,
Paul thany guys.
Speaker 7 (39:24):
Thanks taking the call. We get three observations of fourth.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
If you think I earn it, now what you got?
Speaker 7 (39:28):
So? First one is best line of the broadcast, Joe
Davis eighteenth inning saying Will kleinb guys, he didn't have
a beard when this game started.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
I did laugh at that one. I was like, that
was a good quick one liner.
Speaker 7 (39:43):
Second observation, you guys kind of stole my unsung VP.
Beat the MVP with the batmoy and the tongue depressor.
But how about another unsung MVP. Deeter the organist, Paul
he his hands in contrast, beast bro he was great
and another full game.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
He did a second seventh inning stretched and he was
playing all songs that were appropriate. Yeah, the organ player
was fantastic. All right, you earned your fourth one?
Speaker 1 (40:11):
Do you have one?
Speaker 2 (40:12):
One?
Speaker 1 (40:12):
Last one?
Speaker 7 (40:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (40:13):
Third.
Speaker 7 (40:14):
Third observations a personal one here. I started out the
game texting with Dodger fans fellow Dodger fans in Denver
and Portland. Not unusual for a West Coast game. But
get this, I ended the game texting with a colleague
traveling in Africa who woke up in time and the
game was so long he's able to catch the end of.
Speaker 1 (40:34):
The game's wild.
Speaker 2 (40:37):
But honestly, everything about it, I'm hoping everyone feels the
way we did. But it was just a magical night
of baseball, and it ended the way it had to
end with with, like I said, a superstar hitting a
walk off. It would have felt so flat, like I said,
if it was like an Alex call sackfly.
Speaker 6 (40:53):
I think Smoltz made the comment that the commanders were
already back on the flight and in home in bed
and they were able to watch the end of the game.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
That's that's crazy in itself.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
So we're going to get to a little NFL next
because let's just say a new purchase was made on
this show and we debut a new character here On
CNR next
