Speaker 1 (00:51):
Things get a little interesting now. In New York, Tommy
Kinley in in the eighth inning for the Yankees. The
Dodgers have greeted him with back to back hit It's
Tommy Edmund breaking his bat a ground ball through the hole.
Volpi's able to get there, but there's obviously no play
he can make, so the Dodgers have runners at first
and second, nobody out. Top of the eighth inning, they
(01:12):
trail the Yankees six to five. Chaos and sus baby,
come on, let's go. So we'll keep you updated on
this game. Right now, Will Smith about to come out,
meeting at the mound right now for the Yankees going,
Hey man, let's get it out. Hey Will Smith take
one for the team. But Jordan, it's like every Dodger
(01:33):
is two for seventeen in the series except for Freddy Freeman.

Jordan loves how easy.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Look at that man, you're trying to accord have happened again?
Speaker 4 (02:02):
We will he will play because he could have been
a Dodger. That's right, he could have been a hero.
Freddy Freeman. Baby, he could be empty of this theory.
Well he's MVP because we're winning. This is it, this
(02:22):
is over.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Yeah, he was minus nine hundred coming in. Well, let's
see he's got a home run in the first each
of the first four games and a two run single tonight.
Yeah but yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Bolty was second in odds. As of this morning, he
was seventeen to one.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure he's gonna win. I'm
pretty sure if the Yankees win the series, he's gonna
win the MVP. How about that? Goes all Jerry West
on him.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
I didn't want I didn't want to say that because
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna jinx it because we're
winning tonight and this thing's over. Yah, I do not.
My wife wants seven games and she wants complete and
total torture. Wow, because she she's a Giants fan, so
she hates the Dodgers. Oh so that says, yeah, this
is this is a bad thing.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Dude, How did you get mad? How does a Giants
fan marry a Dodgers fan? How the hell does that happen? Man?
Speaker 4 (03:10):
What do you want me to tell you?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
And he keeps saying.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Spicy When I said, yeah, your bullpen states, yeah, your starters.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
When I met my wife right and my wife she
went to Michigan, and I said, okay, if we had
met in college. Let's just say, at a party, but
I went to Ohio State, would we have gotten together?
And she said no, it's really no, No, we wouldn't have.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
I admire that. I admire that. She was looking for better,
she was looking for a chefter.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I was going to ask if he'd hit in the
whole Syracuse thing.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
No, or the Jets fan more more appropriate.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
We wouldn't have know what if he met at a party?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
No?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
What if I didn't tell you where? I would have
asked you and you would have told me eventually. Yeah, okay,
wouldn't have gotten together that happened.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Okay, I get her. I admire her.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
That's great.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
You know my wife has debated it. You know she
it was it was coming into the vow. She was like, Dodgers,
really Dodgers. Okay, I got some I'm doing this. That's
what that was her auditude. That was that was that was.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Is she wearing a Madison Bumgardner jersey at your wedding ceremony?
You're wearing your career.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
It's a bus, it's a Buster bum Gardener thing. It's
got Buster Tozzy on one side, Madison bum Gardener on
the other. That's that's us. That's how she rolls. She
likes the battery mates. That's what it is.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
There, you go, Okay, there we go, Jason Cole with
us here. All right, let's talk. Let's sell you know,
that's baseball, Susan. Let's talk at her on that one. Now,
let's talks in football, all right, j call tomorrow night,
Jets win by no three touchdowns, four touchdowns?
Speaker 4 (04:52):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Why?
Speaker 5 (04:52):
No?
Speaker 4 (04:52):
No? Well no, First of all, what does Woody Johnson
come to the come to a Halloween game dressed aus
like even hawking? He's that's a genius? Or what does
that happen? I mean, just because he's he's done such
a phenomenal job of you know, inspiring this team and
really you know, giving that that extra kick that they
(05:15):
need to take advantage of the season. He's just done
a fabulous job.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Hasn't he. He's stumbledore.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
I got I have another question. So which loss is worse?
Getting beat on a Hail Mary or losing to the Patriots?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Well, I gotta say that to you, buddy. It's back
and everything else.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Absolutely the Bear that's a rough one. But I got
to say the Jets because you're actually you're losing to
your most hated rival, and they're the Patriots are literally
the worst team in the league except that maybe the
Jets exist.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Wo wow, you're putting the Panthers. Do you honestly think
that I haven't seen losses like that for the last
better part of the last forty five years.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
You see what he saw Sunday was new the entire
the entirety of the forty five years.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Even though it was the NFL history for whatever that
stat was, Letsson two hundred and fifty yards and no
turnovers and one team stinks and the other team has
high paid play whatever that status. Seven hundred and fifty
and all, and now they're not. Whatever it is. I've
I've seen so many losses like that, Jay Cole.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
So it's just you're your numb to it. Is that what?
That's what you're telling?
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (06:37):
And Harmon, And Harmon is the one who still has hope.
Oh no, no, no, yeah, Harmon agerous thing.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Yeah, it is a dangerous thing.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
How about the fact that no fewer than six players
went down to their local appearances to uh back the
boss over ebra flus.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
It's a it's a great week. Even though the guy's
looking in the stands. They're blaming eber Flus even though
one of their dudes is looking in the standard.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Oh no, they're not letting him off the hook.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
But yeah, no, I mean obviously, like the game should
have been won. They they didn't do it right, all
those things right, But like that's on the point that
one's on the players, Like it's not you know, you
can't you just can't let hail Mary go. You just
(07:28):
know that one's that one's completely and totally on the
players and anybody who's blaming eber Flues to that loss. Yeah,
they got it together in the last three drives and
grand there was the fumble, But I mean, come on, yeah,
that's so that's so lame to blame eever Flus.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
You know.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
I tried to explain that to Harmon. I said, look,
this loss is an outliar, Hail Mary's happened. It always
happened because it's you.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Know, it's not an out, but it does, right whatever,
you know.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
And hail Mary's happened once in a while. It's always
the fault of the defense. They don't do something, although
I will say it's weird to have it be the
fault of the guy who's was supposed to be on
Noah Brown but instead was honking it up with the
bear stands in the stands. So I mean that that
was a bit of a new one. That was a
bit of a new one for me.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Yeah, that's that's it's original. But it's definitely on the players.
It's definitely original and on the players. So yeah, I mean, yeah,
not that I think that eber Flutes is any kind
of great coach. I mean, he's if you rearrange the
letters in ebra Flutes there, you probably get somewhere close
to Oncett. But but yeah, like it's still it's still
(08:43):
this one's not on him. I'm sorry, it's just not
I'm not kidd I'm willing, not willing to do that.
So anyways, moving along, So we were talking about tomorrow
Houston and the Jets. Like you're saying, Houston wins.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
This game, Jets, what forty four to thirteen, forty four
to ten?
Speaker 4 (08:58):
What do you think forty four to ten is that
penalty yard?
Speaker 5 (09:02):
Did you?
Speaker 1 (09:06):
It's how many whatever you want to put and they
will outgain the Texans buy but still wind up losing. Whatever.
Whatever you want to say, that.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Is oh, absolutely they're losing this game. You know, there's
no way, there's no the Easton is Easton is one
of the three premier teams. Yeah, it always depends, like
does Baltimore I just get this. Yeah, it seems like
two out of three games Baltimore decides it wants to
really work hard at this and really decide we want
(09:37):
to be the best team in the league. And then
there's a third game where they just go, eh, yeah,
let's make it entertaining. Let's just have some fun here.
Let's like drop balls and we can't cover anybody. And
I just don't understand what happened to their defense. You know,
they got DNTs coming back and all that kind of stuff.
But I do not understand the Raven. They are so
(10:01):
suited to go on a run where they just win
like ten or eleven straight role through the playoffs and
prove that they're the best team in football because because
it's all right there for them. But it's just there's
like it's just a brain fart every like four weeks
or something like that. I just go, I don't get
(10:22):
this team. I don't understand what you guys are doing.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Well, but now they bolstered the offense. So that'll help
the defense out quite a bit.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Yeah, with a guy with a guy who's like gone
through two organizations in the last fourteen months. Though, Well,
I love when you trade a fifth rounder, you trade
a sixth and a player for a fifth rounder or
whatever wherever the heck that was. That's like, let's upgrade.
(10:49):
We're upgrading, you know, around by giving up a player.
That's that's such a big move. Anyway, it's going huge.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Hey, let's move to Indianapolis. Anthony Richardson.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Is he the next quarterback of the Jets because he
probably isn't playing in Indianapolis again, right?
Speaker 5 (11:03):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (11:04):
No, I think he's gonna play in Indianapolis. Like I
was thinking about this today, I was at the game
where Jim Harbaugh took himself out for the entire fourth
quarter of the game. Now, granted he was dehydrated and
his body was locking up, but it's not like Anthony Richardson,
(11:24):
did you know, committed a crime. He made a bad move. Now,
the bigger question about Anthony Richardson is can he play?
Speaker 2 (11:32):
No?
Speaker 3 (11:33):
No, no, that was that was my point. I did
be taking yourself out for a play is one thing.
He's just not good.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
No, he's not good. And this is this is why
you don't draft guys who throw what is it he
threw less than four hundred passes in college. You actually
have to play the position him and it was Trey Lance.
Him and Trey Lance are the only guys drafted in
like the last twenty five years. He threw less than
four hundred passes, drafted in the first round through the
(12:01):
less than four hundred passes in college. And you know,
we're you know, taking the first round expected to be good.
It's like, yeah, they might have. They actually stayed in
school and had another four or five hundred throws and
actually worked on their craft. And Anthony Richardson's what you know,
(12:22):
he's an amazing athlete who has had really really bad luck.
We've talked about before. I mean, what's the same high
school as my sons, So you know, bad luck in
high school, got hurt in high school, got hurt in college,
and barely played for the first two years. Then you know,
Billy Napier, there's a genius for you, says, Oh, I've
(12:44):
got a guy who looks like a Donnis. But I'm
going to tell him, I don't think you can play
in my system. How about Billy, you change the system,
like and maybe take a guy who's a really great
player and try and turn him into something right, you know,
but you're stuck on your system. Yeah, and it's really
showing your performance here like two years later. So this,
(13:06):
you know, Anthony Richison's never had a chance to train
to actually play the position, and this decision to bench
him doesn't make him better. I'm not sure anything is
going to make him better because, you know, trying to
learn how to play quarterback at the NFL. I mean
it is sort of like it's sort of like Woody
(13:31):
Johnson trying to go learn calculus, Like it's just not
going to happen.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
He's on Twitter at Jason Cole saxety two. That is
at Jason Cole sixty two. Check him out thirty third
team j is always appreciate it. Tomorrow, buy your phone
because when Rogers throws his third touchdown to the game,
we're going.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
To get you a.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Ready, we'll call you tomorrow, you Aaron Rodgers. There goes
Jason Cole. Great stuff from the NFL. Now time to
tell you about what has just happened in Major League Baseball.
Boy Special Game five of the World Series. I got
as bad as the Yankees fielding has been, as bad
as it is, as hard as it is to see
(14:19):
them succeed because their fielding is so bad. I did
not have catchers interference on my bingo card. Unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
You want to talk about extending and adding a and
then and waiting for the next episode, like next to next,
same bat time, same bat channel kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
The Yankees had runners at first and second. There was
a pitching change and Luke Weaver came in a walk
to load the bases, and then the Dodgers get a
couple of sacrifice flies to go ahead, now seven to
six going to the bottom of the eighth inning. Sandwich
there in the middle sandwich was a catcher's interference that
(14:58):
put shoe Hey Otani at first base. Now luckily it
didn't come back to haunt the Yankees. They would have
had the sacrifice fly for Mookie Bets anyway. So two
sacrifice flies have given the Dodgers a one run lead.
Going to the bottom of the eighth inning. They are
now hunting outs and Walker Buehler looks like he's going
to be coming in from the bullpen for the eighth inning,
(15:18):
talk about high leverage, more from an already legendary World
Series game coming up next Right here, Jason and Mike

Be sure to catch lived of The Jason Smith Show
with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern seven pm
Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app Fox.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with My best friend
Mike Harmon and All counts. Bottom of the eighth inning.
This is just a heavyweight fight. Haymakers being thrown, Blake
troning on the mound for the Dodgers, Walker Buehler warming
in the bullpen, Dave Roberts is out to talk to
(16:31):
Trin and the Yankees have first and second and one out.
In the bottom of the eighth, Aaron Judge, with one out,
doubles down the line and left, and Jazz Chisholm has
walked on five pitches. Didn't look like trying to really
wanted a lot to do with Jazz Chisholm. Nothing that
was really even the ball that was a strike looked
(16:51):
like it was out of the strike zone. And Chisholm
was halfway up the first baseline before the home plate
Umpire Rippinger said, oh no, that's strike one. The next
pitch almost hit him. So right now here are the
Dodgers first and second, one out, Gen Carlos Stanton up
at bat, and Dave Roberts has just finished talking to
Blake trying, and he gave him the Aaron Rodgers Robert
(17:13):
Soli push in his chest. Hey two score lead, like Roberts.
Rogers did that to solid It was what the hell's
going on? Dave Roberts just did that to try and
it gave him the push like, hey man, I don't
know what he's saying to bring the Jets in do it?
Didn't that pay well, that's what remind him. Didn't remind
know what I'm doing. Come on, man, he gave him
the Roberts solid two handed push. And so now trying
it is out there, runners at first and second, Jim Carlos,
(17:35):
Stanton is up and his legacy is a Yankee could
be coming down to this at bat. And on the
first pitch, Stanton flies out to shallow right field. There
is no tag. Now two outs. There are now two
outs and the Yankees runners at first and second. So
(17:55):
Stanton's big postseason. My dad's just gonna tell me see
what I tell you can't in the clutch. A huge
and absolutely huge out from Blake Tridon who gets Stanton
swinging on a pitch on the outer half of the plate.
Now that is where the ball was earlier when he
homer earlier in the game. So clearly he was looking
for something out over the plate just a little bit
(18:17):
too much and not a great swing, and instead it's
a shallow pop up to right field. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
I know.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
The key term that is being used and maybe abused
at this point is ambush. I want to ambush the
pitcher when he tries to sneak a fastball in on me,
I hate first pitch swing almost categorically the ambush idea,
and occasionally yeah, you're right and you hammer it. We
(18:45):
saw it with Judge earlier, You've seen it with some
at bats, but then you have so many others where
it's yeah, I guess wrong, but I was swinging and
I hit a lazy pop up like there was no
charge behind what Stanton just did there. Right, he might
have guessed right, but the location was an inch or
two maybe further to the outer part of the plate
than he thought, which means it's a lazy fly ball
(19:07):
that Mookie Betts comes in and throws the third base
on one hop like there even if Judge was I
don't know. Let's grab Vince Coleman from the Anamalston History
Vince Coleman, I.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
E really speedy guy.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Even that guy's not thinking about tagging up based on
that where the ball was so like that at bat
was useless.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
So again Jim Carlos Stanton, with a chance to tie
the game at least, instead flies out to right fields.
And now Anthony Rizzo is up for the Yankees again.
Two outs, two on. They nearly had Aaron Judge picked
off of second base ye Will Smith throws all the
way down. However, it didn't look like Edmund was where
(19:48):
he he should have been for a play like that,
and they didn't get him at second. But it doesn't
matter because Blake tried. It is screaming to the heavens
because he has just struck Anthony Rizzo out on a
breaking pitch outside the strike zone to end the eighth inning.
The Dodgers are three outs away from the World Series.
(20:10):
They will hit the bottom of the ninth inning with
at least a seven to six lead a game that
looked like it was all but done. The Dodgers were
trailing five nothing early in this one. They are now
three outs away from the World Series. That pitch that
trying and just broke off on Rizzo. My goodness, that
was like that back in eight men Out when Seacott
(20:32):
is finally trying and he throws at one pitch the
game he didn't throw in the World Series and studs, turkles,
did you see that nitch? Like that was some kind
of pitch. We've got the door shut and we're in
a soundproof room.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
You can hear down the hallway and the scream as
Rizzo swung over the top of that one.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
So we're going to the ninth inning a one run
lead for the Dodgers right now, Well one is a
pretty slim margin there is where we sit right now?
Is Brian Fenley got you caught up on everything else
going on in the night in sports? To askar Hernandez
just let off the ninth inning with a single through
the hole. So the Dodgers had the leadoff runner on,
nobody out as they lead the Yankees seven to six.
(21:14):
He's coming out of the game right now, and I
think Steve Sachs is coming into pinch run. Let's go,
Chris Taylor coming into pinch run. So you see what
their philosophy is going to be for the ninth inning.
Defensive purposes, But the Dodgers have the leadoff runner on
looking for a big insurance run going to the bottom
of the ninth inning end the big thing for the
Yankees you've already seen. We've seen Judge ye right, We've
(21:39):
seen Stanton, We've seen the guys. Now it's gonna be
the bottom of the order, likely for Walker Buehler, who
has been warming in the bullpen. Trine's gone a couple
of innings, likely that's gonna be it for him. And
it looks like Walker Bueller is gonna come in to
try to close out the World Series for the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
I about that big game. We've seen, the history, we
know the earlier in this World Series, a guy much
maligned a lot of questions over the course of the
season when he came back from injury one in six
was his record, and.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Let's call what it is.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Once upon a time, the the golden boy for the
rotation right alongside Kershaw and the shit Well, the Los
Angeles crowd had really soured on him, right the oh
it's Bueller because it was no longer Bueller's got it.
It became a well, all right, let's see what he has,
(22:35):
and now he can potentially come in to close this
thing out.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
It's so great. Yeah, I mean it's such a drama.
I mean, look for a guy who couldn't get anybody
out in the regular season. Now and then the first
game of the playoffs against against the Padres, gave up
six runs. Uh, zero's in the NLCS, Zero's in the
World Series. All of a sudden, Hey no, I'm great again.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
But even in that start against the Padres, at some
point he figured something out right even there, like he
had that horrible inning and then finished that outing and
since then has been absolute nails. I really got excited
because you had the leadoff hitter on right, we have
the pinch runner, and then months he came up and
absolutely hammered it. But right at the right Yeah, Munsey
(23:16):
tomahawks a pitch that's high, look a little bit at
but you have seen him hit pitches like this. Hit
it right on the screws. But there is now one
out flies out to right field, one out runner at first.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Appreciate the greatness of that a bat though he actually
hit the ball. No, that's true, he did, he did,
he did. It's like it was like watching Aaron Judge
slowly go from all right, hit went back to the pitcher,
I hit a ground ball, and then he hit a
home run. It's like baby steps every time. That's where
we said, baby, he's not gonna need to take any
more steps, baby steps, baby steps. So again, this is
(23:47):
where we are right now, Keith a Hernandez up, one
out runner at first. Dodgers lead the Yankees seven to
six here in the top of the night thinning. If

Speaker 5 (24:28):
Now.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Bit of drama, of course, because you know Yankee fielding,
I didn't have balking. Good part of Yankee Yankee fielding. Tonight, Man,
I'm gonna win in blackout Like last game of the night.
Weaver Boks going over to first base to throw to
(24:49):
try to get Chris Taylor stealing, and Taylor is down
at second. So now the Doctors have a runner in
scoring position with one out as they bat in the
top of the ninth innings. Oh, as we continue, will
it be a Dodger two run lead, three run lead,
We'll be hearing the Yankees come to bat in the
bottom of the ninth thinning, three outs away from losing
(25:10):
the World Series to the Dodgers. All that more coming
up next. Keep it right here, Jason Smith, Mike Harmon.

with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Come on, Tommy Edmund. You couldn't swing like that in
the NLC. You gotta let it go.
Speaker 6 (25:30):
Man, Man, he kicked your ass. Dude, I'm not in
the World Series because of Tommy Arson. Are so angry anything.
Couldn't do that in the last series, jerk. Oh, that's
been the entire last days. Couldn't do that in the NLCS.
Hey months, he couldn't go over fifteen in the NLCS.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Could you?
Speaker 5 (25:45):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Do you hate Edmund or a monsy more?
Speaker 5 (25:47):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Edmund? Ed I just keep seeing Edmund get hits and
home runs and make plays. And it's just The Jason
Smith Show with Mike Carmon live from the tire rack
dot Com Studios.
Speaker 6 (25:56):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
The Yankees get out of a jam in the ninth inning,
first and second one out. Mark Leider Junior comes in
and he gets Tommy Edmund on a full count strikeout
out of the strike zone a really bad pitch, but
got Edmund to chase it, then gets a ground out
to third to end the inning. So the Yankees and
(26:17):
it's kind of the bottom of the order coming up
for them here in the bottom of the ninth inning,
and it's going to be Walker Bueller in from the
bullpen to try to close this out and win the
World Series for the Dodgers in his.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Career two and zher with a point five e R
in three World Series appearances spanning eighteen innings pitched.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Yeah, but that was back when he was Walker Bueller.
Now he's like, is he good still? Kind of somewhat
Walker Bule.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
I get I get to at least put that graphic up, though, Buddy.
I mean, that's all I'm doing. I'm trying to. I'm
just trying to, like I'm painting it with words here.
So you want to get the Jason clearly didn't watch
Game three. It's no, It's just just like the NFL
wanted to get all the Jets games out of the
way early. Hey, we got we had we had him
this week on third seasons off, We're gonna We're gonna
(27:07):
tap out of those Jets games, La, let's get him
on the first couple of months while people are still
interested in Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Now, of course, one of those starts earlier in this
World Series where he gave you five strong shutout innings,
two hits aloud, and now comes in. You know some
of us, uh, you know, part of me would have
liked to wait, there's a surprise. They've got a giant,
you know, like the medical tent on the sideline of
an NFL game where they're not showing you who's warming up.
(27:33):
And maybe it would be the surprise of Shoaeo Toani
wearing glasses like he's Charlie Sheen coming in. But here
we get Buehler and and it's it's so huge, a
guy that's been with the squad, the ups and downs
and certainly battling back this year to to what he's
been for them in these playoffs, these these last couple
of rounds.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
It's a huge moment.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
You know, there's part of me that thought, you know,
the going going back now, going back to before the
playoffs starts. It is Dodger getting and going. The Dodgers
are on the mound to clinch the World Series, it's
gonna be Otani on the mound of the ninth, right,
It's gonna be Otani. But then clearly that didn't happen,
and then the injury, you know, designated hitter. Yeah, but
I always had that vision that if they're gonna win
(28:16):
the World Series, it's gonna be Otani. No, it's one
of those great storybook kind of things, right, you know,
And and Buehller's story certainly fantastic as well, and Dodger fans,
he's beloved, been with the squad, you know, all these years,
so on opportunity for him to close it out here
in game five, But yeah, the Otani storybook, man, come on,
(28:36):
look at the year that that it was, you know,
it only seemed fitting that maybe you'd get one more
chapter to it. So right now it's gonna be Walker
Buehller facing the b And I say, I say bottomish
of the order because volt, yes, he's hitting seventh, but
he's been really good, yeah this series, but he is
facing seven, eight, nine. It's Vulpi, Wells and Verdugo right
(28:57):
now is what's gonna happen for Bueller as he tries
to close us out the Dodgers are three outs away
from their first world title. Since twenty twenty, Chris Taylor
has come into left field defensive purposes. Remember he came
in to run for t Oscar Hernandez in the top
of the ninth inning. Look, if you watch this game
and you walk away from and go, yeah, it was okay,
(29:18):
I don't think baseball's for you. No, I don't think baseball.
If you watch this series at all, I don't think
baseball is for you. Maybe maybe maybe something else is
your thing. Maybe you want to, but but baseball is
clearly not your thing.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
You can just go through the entire playoff run just
so many weird twists, big moments, giant performances, big hits,
big pitches made like we saw trying and break off
that pitch last inning. I mean, you just have moments
like that that you just you're left with.
Speaker 5 (29:49):
That is it?
Speaker 3 (29:51):
The screams that munch Oh yeah yeah, the monchs sure
sure were you making the Macauley Culkin home alone face.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
For those that don't like art, I mean, I don't
like to explain because people think, wait, the guy from
one order, munch, no no different, different?
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Oh nicely done, one not not much longer Bells. A
hell of a run he had with that character over
several series. But but all of that to say, it's
just been a wild roller coaster. And you know, baseball
is one of those that sometimes you need to sell
people on. You didn't need to do it during these playoffs.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Bueller has just gotten vultpy to ground out to Max Muncy.
There is one out in the bottom of the ninth inning,
Dodgers two outs away from the World Series. Just about
Bueller for this point, because this, look, how many times
you hear me say, how can not be romantic about baseball?
How much do I love baseball? But this is what
the sport does.
Speaker 5 (30:44):
Is that.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
You hear the phrase yesterday's goat is tomorrow's hero. Yeah,
you hear that you always have a chance for redemption.
But for Buehler to be somebody who I don't even
know if the Dodgers thought he was going to be
in their postseason plans at all, because when he came
back from the Lake Eatest injury, remember he hadn't pitched it.
He hadn't pitched hardly at all to come back, and
he's not pitched well since he returned. He was e
(31:06):
ra was up over six. They were trying to get
him innings to think well at some point, and then
they really went into the playoffs because there was absolutely
nobody else. They know, Okay, we're gonna have at least
one bullpen game. We can't have two bullpen games. So
all right, Bueller's our guy, right, everybody else Kershaw is hurt,
and and and glassnow was hurt. What are we gonna do?
And so because there was nobody else out there, and
(31:30):
he has the first game against the Padres and he's bad.
It's one really bet inning, right, but it still doesn't mean,
you know, you give up six runs.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
And that was the start that counts the same. I mean,
that's us for doing the nuance of how that start
eventually finished.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
But yeah, and the Dodgers throw him out there for
Game three against the Mets because there is nobody else.
They had the bullpen game in game two, and the
Mets knocked the crap out of that. They're up six
to one early. They win that game, and all of
a sudden, here's Game three and look at the advantage
of Mets have and not really that game is what
(32:02):
probably turned I don't want to say the entire fortunes
of the Dodgers, but it turned Bueller's fortunes because he
went four innings, he threw the ball really well, had
a lot of break off his pitches, he had the
Mets chasing, and suddenly it was, hey, we can breathe
easier now because we can trust him to start a game.
Speaker 5 (32:20):
Now.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Still we're gonna need the relievers at some point, but
we can now try if he comes back again in
Game seven or in the World Series, we can trust
him again. And then he comes back in game in
the World Series and he has a great game the
other night, and now here he has closing out the
World Series. He's someone that went from we don't know
if he's even gonna be on the team to he's
only pitching because there literally is nobody else, to now
(32:42):
you're our guy to close out the ninth inning. I mean,
that's just an unbelievable story.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Just the run through, I mean, is fastball hitting up
at ninety seven ninety eight miles an hour, he just
broke off an off speed pitch swung throughs for out
number two. So we're down to the all out here.
But to your point, right, nearly a six era in
the regular season, and you know, just showing what Dave
(33:08):
Roberts and management and what this Dodger staff has done
as we sit here on the precipice of closing this
thing out, is that your starters, we've changed, what the
metrics are and for baseball, you know it's in a
strange spot. Is that Bueller only had had to go
four innings to launch into another stratosphere and to regain
(33:32):
you know, the love, the adoration, whatever else. Six strikeouts
a four inning appearance. Normally it was all right, I
got to get seven out of the guy. I was like, no,
you were just hoping for four or five because you
trust your bullpen when the high leverage guys are available,
that you're going to be able to close out a game,
and that your offense, which has been a juggernaut all
season long, has been able to put up runs in
(33:55):
this series. I mean, most of it coming on the
way of the home run, except for that crazy ass
inning that we had back in the fifth.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Walker Buehler is one strike away from winning the World
Series for the Dodgers. A one to two pitch is
in the dirt. Strike three. The Dodgers are your World
Series champions. They are mobbing Buehler on the mound. Mookie
Betts is throwing his hat.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
How great is it that it's Verdugo that strikes out
to end it after his dopey support of the Thugs
from yesterday.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
He's gonna leap on somebody. The Dodgers are partying on
the mound in Yankee Stadium. They are your World Series
champions in twenty twenty four. It was a breaking pitch
in the dirt, second breaking pitch in the dirt of
the at bat to get Verdugo, and now it is
a party. Aaron Judge walking off, clearly not having an
(34:49):
Aaron Judge type World Series walker. Buehller is standing with
his arms out to the stands. I have to say,
are you not entertained the eighth World Series championion ship
for the Dodgers? And I assume it'll just be They're
just gonna walk on the on the field and go, Freddy,
here's your MVP Chow. You don't need a ceremony, there's
no drama here. Take your trophy, Freddy, you're the winners.
Speaker 5 (35:09):
You got it.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Go hang out with your family. Here's your trophy. A
game the Dodgers were down five nothing and it looked
like we were heading back to LA for Game six.
And then the Yankee defense went to work, and I
don't mean in a positive way. No and undone by
an Aaron Judge error and Anthony Volpi error, a mental
error involving Garrett Cole and Anthony Rizzo that should have
(35:34):
ended an inning, and instead the Dodgers get five to
tie it. They withstand the Yankees getting the go ahead,
running a sacrifice fly by John Carlos Stanton and getting
two runs in a very Dodger like rally in the
top of the eighth, some walks, a couple of sacrifice flies,
a catchers, and two shutout innings, one from Blake Trying
(35:59):
in the eighth and an easy inning from Bueller in
the ninth. The Dodgers are your World Series champions. More
reaction to this coming up next. Keep it here. It's
a must listen Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 6 (36:15):
Start to party, Los Angeles, You're Dodgers have on the
World Series.
Speaker 2 (36:43):

Speaker 1 (36:54):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon
live from the tyrack dot Com studios. The Dodgers are
champions of Baseball. They're eight title. Walker Buehler closes out
the Yankees in the bottom of the ninth inning. They
beat the Dodgers seven six. Blake trying the hero two
(37:14):
and third innings for the Dodgers tonight. Yankee defense the
hero for the Dodgers tonight, allowing them to come back
in this game. If you were doing Yankee defense bingo
and you had catchers interference and indifferent balk and drop
fly balls and bad throws and mental errors about covering
first base, boy, that's tell you won in blackout. You
(37:37):
you blacked out every Bingo spot on your card with
what the Yankees did tonight to help the Dodgers get
back into this and win the series in five games.
Joining us now in the hot line, nobody better. He's
our man. All's year every year. MLB Network Insider Extraordinary.
John Paul Morosi. He is on Twitter at John Morosi.
(37:58):
He is putting down his studying of the Lions roster
to talk to us now about what we just saw
in New York City. Jake Plee, what's happening, Buddy.
Speaker 5 (38:10):
I am utterly baffled. I congratulate the Los Angeles Dodgers,
and they're amazing fans, but the manner in which they won,
I'm still trying to piece together all of those moments
in that fifth inning. And it's just remarkable that the
most the most unearned runs ever given up five in
(38:33):
a World Series clinching game. No One we can stay
this definitively. No team has ever won a World Series
in quite the fashion that the Dodgers did tonight. It's
just a remarkable bit of baseball history, quite a book
end of this World Series. Game one epic, Game five
epic in its own way. And here we are now
(38:53):
reliving a truly unique night of Major League baseball.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
I'll tell you, John Paul, I mean you'll obviously we'll
get to the Dodgers part of this in a second.
But with a five to nothing lead, this should have
been over. It should have been over the Yankee It
was a party night. They were hitting home runs, the
Dodgers using their low leverage guys, and then Volpie makes
a bad throw. Aaron Judge can't catch an easy fly ball.
Garrett Cole and and Rizzo miscommunicate uncovering first base. Like
(39:21):
we've talked about how frustrating it is to watch the
Yankee succeed despite the fact that defensively they're not very
good and they run the bases poorly, and still they win.
Eventually they got to pay the piper for this, and
well they wound up paying tonight.
Speaker 5 (39:34):
Well in all in succession, and as the inning was unfolding,
there was at least a brief sense of foreboding. Once
Judge clanks the ball in center field, you think.
Speaker 4 (39:48):
What I was kind of strange.
Speaker 5 (39:50):
It just it was such a bizarre occurrence that you
were immediately surprised by it. And then I think at
the at the end of the day, was the play
in front of Volti over at in the in the
five to six hole maybe, but in that situation, the
catcher's running just get an ouse, you know, at that point,
(40:13):
just getting out and try to slow down the momentum.
But they just could not help themselves there. And obviously
the play with Cole and Rizzo, I get it, Mookie's
fast and and perhaps Rizzo was expecting Cole to be
there and Cole was expecting Rizzo to take it himself,
(40:33):
but you can't assume in that moment it is just
as basic as basic pitchers fielding practice gets.
Speaker 4 (40:42):
You gotta sprint over there.
Speaker 5 (40:43):
It's Game five of the World Series, and so I'm
I'm just baffled by by the way the way in
which they they lost, and yet to your point, at
the same time, when you look at the totality of
the series, as much as the Yankees had their opportunities
to win, they were too sloppy in too many moments
(41:07):
to be able to compete with the Dodgers. And it's
almost as though as soon as the Dodgers had had
that glimpse of opportunity in the fifth inning, they took
it and it was game over. It was just an
extraordinary series of events. And the other great note from
op the stats later in the game is that no
team had ever erased the five run depisode, then falling
(41:28):
behind again and then come back to win in a
World Series clinching game like this. It's just a night
that we are never.
Speaker 4 (41:35):
Ever going to forget.
Speaker 3 (41:36):
Hollywood's storybook kind of ending here, and certainly Jason and
I we just watched every movement of Dave Roberts because
while it looked a bit spotty in the end, bullpen management,
pitching management, victory for Dave Roberts, it was and.
Speaker 5 (41:57):
He did, I think, an excellent job brawl. I thought
last night, I know we talked about it a bit.
I didn't really have a huge issue with the way
the last night unfolded because I'm not sure who else
he would have gone to. You might have said, hey,
go a little bit longer with Casparius, but last night
was last night. Tonight was I'm going to go to
(42:17):
my leverage relievers and keep the game close and hope
that we get back into it. And at the time
when when things before things started to turn, the Yankees
had an eighty nine percent chance to win that game
based on a win probability eighty nine percent. And I think,
(42:38):
and to be curious, I'd be curious to hear from
Dave as he talks after the game. I wonder if
if the five run lead was about the limit to
where he was still going to chase chase that game
and try to and try to win it with his
with his a bullpen, if the Yankees had gotten to
a six run lead, a seven run lead, maybe it's
(42:59):
different and That's where again we talked about the Yankees issues. Tonight,
they stranded twelve runners and they left the bases loaded twice,
and so certainly we're going to zero in on the
fifth ending because it's just it's there, and we're going
to talk about it forever. And then obviously there were
some issues later on in the game with but the
catchers interference, balk and.
Speaker 1 (43:22):
We got.
Speaker 2 (43:25):
Do you know Tom?
Speaker 1 (43:26):
Do you know Tom Amansky? They need one of his videos?
Speaker 5 (43:30):
They do?
Speaker 1 (43:31):
They do?
Speaker 5 (43:32):
And I think too, you know, uh Kinley couldn't throw
a strike. This is real pressure. And and as much
as we talk about the struggles in this World Series
of Otani and up until tonight of these offensively the
struggles of Judge, it's hard. It's hard to be this
(43:54):
great on this stage. And and even even the best,
the best players, they get tired, they get worn down,
mentally tired, and they just the Yankees had it for
a moment early and then just couldn't reclaim it. And
I think one of the greatest ironies too is Judge
Hobart in the first inning and at that point you're
(44:15):
thinking they got this, They're rolling game six man Friday Night,
it's gonna be awesome, and all of a sudden, it
all changed very quickly. And I think that's the tough
part for me is that, you know, on the Yankee side,
the judge who had such an extraordinary season, We're gonna
sink back on this World Series and say what for
(44:38):
the early home run in Game five? He struggled a
lot offensively, and then he made the misque that began
the sequence of events that had led us to the
Dodgers celebrating on Yankee stadiums field instead of the Yankees
getting ready to fly out to La And it's and
it's not his fault, but certainly this is going to
(44:58):
be a part of his offseason and the way that
he enters it is very uncomfortable period. So it's it's
a it's a difficult stretch for him, but the Yankees
and this is going to be one of those very
very difficult seasons to get over. And oh, by the way,
one Soda is a free agent, so what could happen there?
Speaker 1 (45:18):
Well, I will I will say that, Look, I have
good news for the Yankees on that front. Hey, if
it comes down to the Yankees and the Mets, for
Juan Soto. There is absolutely no way the Yankees let
him go to the Mets, as much as Brian Cash
and the Yankees don't spend money there. He says, I
got to walk around this town. There is Whatever the
Mets offer him, they will offer him more. There is
(45:39):
no The best the Mets are going to do is
drive up the price. If it's between the Mets and
the Yankees, there's no way Wan Soto is leading. That's
just not will be.
Speaker 5 (45:49):
Fortunately, Fortunately on Monday, we have our our MLB Network
off season programming getting started, and you'll be enjoying Hotstone,
brought to you by Juan Soto for the Insire Inspire Winter.
And I can assure you that we'll be We'll be
analyzing every last I'll at some point in time, I'll
(46:11):
be doing the Soto shuffle in my in my office
as I'm doing my segments. He's going to be that
important to the show that's this winter. So you'll get
plenty of Soto talk from me. Anytime you want you
call me, I'll be I'll be in Soto mode this winter.
Speaker 1 (46:25):
Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 3 (46:26):
Jason'll be trying to insert himself into the conversation, offering
to be a caddy for Sterns or whatever he needs
to do to help make the pitch right.
Speaker 5 (46:36):
And I'm sure the foursome for the negotiation will be Turns, Soto,
me and Jason.
Speaker 4 (46:44):
I think that's that's the play I'll have.
Speaker 5 (46:47):
I will.
Speaker 4 (46:47):
It's funny.
Speaker 5 (46:48):
I had one one very accomplished baseball player who wants
asked me, Hey, John, would would you ever would you
ever want to come golfing with me? And I said,
I'll just be honest about this, having golf since I
was sixteen and wasn't good, wasn't very good back then.
He's like, Okay, we'll probably have lunch sometime then instead.
So that's like, then, that's totally true. I wish, I
(47:11):
wish I could be a functional contributor to a golf foursome.
Speaker 4 (47:15):
But I am.
Speaker 5 (47:16):
I am a total zero.
Speaker 1 (47:17):
I'm with you. I am much better contributed to lunch.
I will contribute. I contribute to whatever is on the
plate one hundred percent.
Speaker 5 (47:24):
Lunch is always a good idea. I will always be
in favor of lunch.
Speaker 1 (47:28):
All right. Now, now here's the shocker party, because if
I'm sure, if I told you before the series started
that sho hey Otani and Max Munsey, we're going to
combine to go two for thirty four. You would say, well,
the World Series is going through the canyon of heroes,
but this is what we saw. Munsey struggles as hot
as he was in the NLCS, and I don't know
if it's just the injury for Otani John Paul, but
(47:49):
he really wasn't the same in the World Series. I
don't know that he was the same overall in the playoffs.
He only tried to steal two bases after stealing fifty
nine in the regular season. And some of his swings
look good in the World Series, some of them looked
like they were really awkward. I really wonder if he's
been dealing with something even before the slide into second
base the other night.
Speaker 5 (48:11):
It's a very fair question, and maybe we'll get a
little bit more intel, or maybe we won't, because with
Showy there's a lot that we don't know with respect
to even the nature of the elbow surgery that he
had last year, so there's still a lot unknown there.
It does those seem to me that that at least
(48:32):
he has arrived at this point, and certainly I think
winning will do a lot to uh set a really
good course for his off season's It seems like at
the end of the day, even though I agree that
he did seem like he wasn't fully himself in October,
he is still healthy enough to have played this month,
(48:53):
and that means that for the most parties entering the
off season healthy. We'll see what ends up going on
the shoulder and if that requires any additional work. But
for the Dodgers, it's difficult for them to imagine a
better year one for Otani in the Dodger uniform. They
win the World Series, he goes fifty to fifty for
(49:13):
the first time ever, and he ends the year from
the standpoint of his right arm, his prize pitching arm
in a good place where him pitching in twenty twenty
five is a very realistic idea for them. So it's hard,
I'm sure for the Dodgers to basically have anything anything
(49:34):
to complain about right now. But I will agree with
you that didn't really seem like he was necessarily in
his best form. But all of a sudden that no
longer is all that terribly concerning, because there is no
longer a Game six to play, and the Dodger the
Champions of the Baseball World JP.
Speaker 3 (49:49):
We talked a lot about Freddy Freeman last night and
his heroic twelve RBI for the series, tying a World
Series record. Let's move back to the manager for second,
Dave Roberts. How much of the speech that he makes
now when he's enshrined in Cooperstown is dedicated to his
bullpen management.
Speaker 5 (50:06):
Here there you go, And I love what you said
there about his Hall of Fame bona fides. Because he's
now a two time World Series champ, best winning percentage
ever for a Dodgers manager. With a sufficient number of games,
he no longer has to answer any questions.
Speaker 4 (50:24):
And I'll be really curious to hear as he.
Speaker 5 (50:27):
Talks about the decision making process and in the bullpen
management tonight how much of it was as he had
planned it early and how much of it was him
improvising in a good way as the game went along.
And Walker Buehler saying that Kid Rose was all in
the field after the game, that he hadn't thrown a
(50:49):
ball until he started warming up today in the bullpen
before the ninth inning. Just how amazing is that? And
I go back, I remember years ago he had Clayton
Kershuck closed out of postseason series when no one expected it,
and I believe one day of rest in a somewhat
similar situation. So he's shown me the willingness to be
(51:10):
creative and to go to different pitchers in different circumstances.
And that was the case with Bieler tonight, and Bueler,
by the way, someone who had a sixth era in
the month of August, and now he is all of
a sudden on the pitching mount rushmore for the Dodgers
in the month of October. So creativity plus for the
(51:30):
Dodgers and having the conviction to go to his a
bullpen even when the score was not in his favor
or even close to it is one of the ways
that we're going to remember this as being an absolute
apex game. As the manager for Dave.
Speaker 1 (51:46):
Roberts, well, if we let you go, John Poly, do
want to say this? I know I could have done that.
I know I could give him too much credit for creativity,
because if I was in the dugout with Dave Roberts,
he turned me says what do you think for the
ninth inning? I would have said, well, in eighty eight
was sort of went to horror and closed out the
world too. Here's a britt Walker Bullern. Oh okay, great,
I mean I got to come up with that.
Speaker 5 (52:04):
There you go, And that's a pretty good, pretty good
plot twist, pretty good way of tying it all together.
Eighty eight to the twenty twenty four And I thought
Joe Davis's call was brilliant. Of course, Joe has been
at the mic for so many great moments for the
Dodgers and for baseball overall here in the last several years.
That was a great call there. And the Dodgers now
(52:26):
will have their parade, and I'm sure every sports fan
in LA is going to want to have a connection
to at least those who are not Angels fans. We'll
want to have a piece of.
Speaker 4 (52:37):
That amazing celebration on Friday.
Speaker 5 (52:39):
So good, good things out of the Dodgers, all very
well deserved the off season ahead, and also ahead will
be a rousing seventeen fourteen victory at Lambeau for the
Lions on Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 1 (52:52):
He's on Twitter at John Morosi. That's John Morosi, MLB Network,

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Things get a little interesting now. In New York, Tommy
Kinley in in the eighth inning for the Yankees. The
Dodgers have greeted him with back to back hit It's
Tommy Edmund breaking his bat a ground ball through the hole.
Volpi's able to get there, but there's obviously no play
he can make, so the Dodgers have runners at first
and second, nobody out. Top of the eighth inning, they
(01:12):
trail the Yankees six to five. Chaos and sus baby,
come on, let's go. So we'll keep you updated on
this game. Right now, Will Smith about to come out,
meeting at the mound right now for the Yankees going,
Hey man, let's get it out. Hey Will Smith take
one for the team. But Jordan, it's like every Dodger
(01:33):

Speaker 4 (02:02):
We will he will play because he could have been
a Dodger. That's right, he could have been a hero.
Freddy Freeman. Baby, he could be empty of this theory.
Well he's MVP because we're winning. This is it, this
(02:22):
is over.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Yeah, he was minus nine hundred coming in. Well, let's
see he's got a home run in the first each
of the first four games and a two run single tonight.
Yeah but yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Bolty was second in odds. As of this morning, he
was seventeen to one.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure he's gonna win. I'm
pretty sure if the Yankees win the series, he's gonna
win the MVP. How about that? Goes all Jerry West
on him.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
I didn't want I didn't want to say that because
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna jinx it because we're
winning tonight and this thing's over. Yah, I do not.
My wife wants seven games and she wants complete and
total torture. Wow, because she she's a Giants fan, so
she hates the Dodgers. Oh so that says, yeah, this
is this is a bad thing.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Dude, How did you get mad? How does a Giants
fan marry a Dodgers fan? How the hell does that happen? Man?
Speaker 4 (03:10):
What do you want me to tell you?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
And he keeps saying.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Spicy When I said, yeah, your bullpen states, yeah, your starters.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
When I met my wife right and my wife she
went to Michigan, and I said, okay, if we had
met in college. Let's just say, at a party, but
I went to Ohio State, would we have gotten together?
And she said no, it's really no, No, we wouldn't have.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
I admire that. I admire that. She was looking for better,
she was looking for a chefter.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I was going to ask if he'd hit in the
whole Syracuse thing.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
No, or the Jets fan more more appropriate.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
We wouldn't have know what if he met at a party?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
No?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
What if I didn't tell you where? I would have
asked you and you would have told me eventually. Yeah, okay,
wouldn't have gotten together that happened.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Okay, I get her. I admire her.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
That's great.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
You know my wife has debated it. You know she
it was it was coming into the vow. She was like, Dodgers,
really Dodgers. Okay, I got some I'm doing this. That's
what that was her auditude. That was that was that was.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Is she wearing a Madison Bumgardner jersey at your wedding ceremony?
You're wearing your career.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
It's a bus, it's a Buster bum Gardener thing. It's
got Buster Tozzy on one side, Madison bum Gardener on
the other. That's that's us. That's how she rolls. She
likes the battery mates. That's what it is.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
There, you go, Okay, there we go, Jason Cole with
us here. All right, let's talk. Let's sell you know,
that's baseball, Susan. Let's talk at her on that one. Now,
let's talks in football, all right, j call tomorrow night,
Jets win by no three touchdowns, four touchdowns?
Speaker 4 (04:52):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Why?
Speaker 5 (04:52):
No?
Speaker 4 (04:52):
No? Well no, First of all, what does Woody Johnson
come to the come to a Halloween game dressed aus
like even hawking? He's that's a genius? Or what does
that happen? I mean, just because he's he's done such
a phenomenal job of you know, inspiring this team and
really you know, giving that that extra kick that they
(05:15):
need to take advantage of the season. He's just done
a fabulous job.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Hasn't he. He's stumbledore.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
I got I have another question. So which loss is worse?
Getting beat on a Hail Mary or losing to the Patriots?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Well, I gotta say that to you, buddy. It's back
and everything else.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Absolutely the Bear that's a rough one. But I got
to say the Jets because you're actually you're losing to
your most hated rival, and they're the Patriots are literally
the worst team in the league except that maybe the
Jets exist.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Wo wow, you're putting the Panthers. Do you honestly think
that I haven't seen losses like that for the last
better part of the last forty five years.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
You see what he saw Sunday was new the entire
the entirety of the forty five years.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Even though it was the NFL history for whatever that
stat was, Letsson two hundred and fifty yards and no
turnovers and one team stinks and the other team has
high paid play whatever that status. Seven hundred and fifty
and all, and now they're not. Whatever it is. I've
I've seen so many losses like that, Jay Cole.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
So it's just you're your numb to it. Is that what?
That's what you're telling?
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (06:37):
And Harmon, And Harmon is the one who still has hope.
Oh no, no, no, yeah, Harmon agerous thing.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Yeah, it is a dangerous thing.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
How about the fact that no fewer than six players
went down to their local appearances to uh back the
boss over ebra flus.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
It's a it's a great week. Even though the guy's
looking in the stands. They're blaming eber Flus even though
one of their dudes is looking in the standard.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Oh no, they're not letting him off the hook.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
But yeah, no, I mean obviously, like the game should
have been won. They they didn't do it right, all
those things right, But like that's on the point that
one's on the players, Like it's not you know, you
can't you just can't let hail Mary go. You just
(07:28):
know that one's that one's completely and totally on the
players and anybody who's blaming eber Flues to that loss. Yeah,
they got it together in the last three drives and
grand there was the fumble, But I mean, come on, yeah,
that's so that's so lame to blame eever Flus.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
You know.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
I tried to explain that to Harmon. I said, look,
this loss is an outliar, Hail Mary's happened. It always
happened because it's you.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Know, it's not an out, but it does, right whatever,
you know.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
And hail Mary's happened once in a while. It's always
the fault of the defense. They don't do something, although
I will say it's weird to have it be the
fault of the guy who's was supposed to be on
Noah Brown but instead was honking it up with the
bear stands in the stands. So I mean that that
was a bit of a new one. That was a
bit of a new one for me.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Yeah, that's that's it's original. But it's definitely on the players.
It's definitely original and on the players. So yeah, I mean, yeah,
not that I think that eber Flutes is any kind
of great coach. I mean, he's if you rearrange the
letters in ebra Flutes there, you probably get somewhere close
to Oncett. But but yeah, like it's still it's still
(08:43):
this one's not on him. I'm sorry, it's just not
I'm not kidd I'm willing, not willing to do that.
So anyways, moving along, So we were talking about tomorrow
Houston and the Jets. Like you're saying, Houston wins.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
This game, Jets, what forty four to thirteen, forty four
to ten?
Speaker 4 (08:58):
What do you think forty four to ten is that
penalty yard?
Speaker 5 (09:02):
Did you?
Speaker 1 (09:06):
It's how many whatever you want to put and they
will outgain the Texans buy but still wind up losing. Whatever.
Whatever you want to say, that.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Is oh, absolutely they're losing this game. You know, there's
no way, there's no the Easton is Easton is one
of the three premier teams. Yeah, it always depends, like
does Baltimore I just get this. Yeah, it seems like
two out of three games Baltimore decides it wants to
really work hard at this and really decide we want
(09:37):
to be the best team in the league. And then
there's a third game where they just go, eh, yeah,
let's make it entertaining. Let's just have some fun here.
Let's like drop balls and we can't cover anybody. And
I just don't understand what happened to their defense. You know,
they got DNTs coming back and all that kind of stuff.
But I do not understand the Raven. They are so
(10:01):
suited to go on a run where they just win
like ten or eleven straight role through the playoffs and
prove that they're the best team in football because because
it's all right there for them. But it's just there's
like it's just a brain fart every like four weeks
or something like that. I just go, I don't get
(10:22):
this team. I don't understand what you guys are doing.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Well, but now they bolstered the offense. So that'll help
the defense out quite a bit.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Yeah, with a guy with a guy who's like gone
through two organizations in the last fourteen months. Though, Well,
I love when you trade a fifth rounder, you trade
a sixth and a player for a fifth rounder or
whatever wherever the heck that was. That's like, let's upgrade.
(10:49):
We're upgrading, you know, around by giving up a player.
That's that's such a big move. Anyway, it's going huge.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Hey, let's move to Indianapolis. Anthony Richardson.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Is he the next quarterback of the Jets because he
probably isn't playing in Indianapolis again, right?
Speaker 5 (11:03):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (11:04):
No, I think he's gonna play in Indianapolis. Like I
was thinking about this today, I was at the game
where Jim Harbaugh took himself out for the entire fourth
quarter of the game. Now, granted he was dehydrated and
his body was locking up, but it's not like Anthony Richardson,
(11:24):
did you know, committed a crime. He made a bad move. Now,
the bigger question about Anthony Richardson is can he play?
Speaker 2 (11:32):
No?
Speaker 3 (11:33):
No, no, that was that was my point. I did
be taking yourself out for a play is one thing.
He's just not good.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
No, he's not good. And this is this is why
you don't draft guys who throw what is it he
threw less than four hundred passes in college. You actually
have to play the position him and it was Trey Lance.
Him and Trey Lance are the only guys drafted in
like the last twenty five years. He threw less than
four hundred passes, drafted in the first round through the
(12:01):
less than four hundred passes in college. And you know,
we're you know, taking the first round expected to be good.
It's like, yeah, they might have. They actually stayed in
school and had another four or five hundred throws and
actually worked on their craft. And Anthony Richardson's what you know,
(12:22):
he's an amazing athlete who has had really really bad luck.
We've talked about before. I mean, what's the same high
school as my sons, So you know, bad luck in
high school, got hurt in high school, got hurt in college,
and barely played for the first two years. Then you know,
Billy Napier, there's a genius for you, says, Oh, I've
(12:44):
got a guy who looks like a Donnis. But I'm
going to tell him, I don't think you can play
in my system. How about Billy, you change the system,
like and maybe take a guy who's a really great
player and try and turn him into something right, you know,
but you're stuck on your system. Yeah, and it's really
showing your performance here like two years later. So this,
(13:06):
you know, Anthony Richison's never had a chance to train
to actually play the position, and this decision to bench
him doesn't make him better. I'm not sure anything is
going to make him better because, you know, trying to
learn how to play quarterback at the NFL. I mean
it is sort of like it's sort of like Woody
(13:31):
Johnson trying to go learn calculus, Like it's just not
going to happen.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
He's on Twitter at Jason Cole saxety two. That is
at Jason Cole sixty two. Check him out thirty third
team j is always appreciate it. Tomorrow, buy your phone
because when Rogers throws his third touchdown to the game,
we're going.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
To get you a.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Ready, we'll call you tomorrow, you Aaron Rodgers. There goes
Jason Cole. Great stuff from the NFL. Now time to
tell you about what has just happened in Major League Baseball.
Boy Special Game five of the World Series. I got
as bad as the Yankees fielding has been, as bad
as it is, as hard as it is to see
(14:19):
them succeed because their fielding is so bad. I did
not have catchers interference on my bingo card. Unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
You want to talk about extending and adding a and
then and waiting for the next episode, like next to next,
same bat time, same bat channel kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
The Yankees had runners at first and second. There was
a pitching change and Luke Weaver came in a walk
to load the bases, and then the Dodgers get a
couple of sacrifice flies to go ahead, now seven to
six going to the bottom of the eighth inning. Sandwich
there in the middle sandwich was a catcher's interference that
(14:58):
put shoe Hey Otani at first base. Now luckily it
didn't come back to haunt the Yankees. They would have
had the sacrifice fly for Mookie Bets anyway. So two
sacrifice flies have given the Dodgers a one run lead.
Going to the bottom of the eighth inning. They are
now hunting outs and Walker Buehler looks like he's going
to be coming in from the bullpen for the eighth inning,
(15:18):
talk about high leverage, more from an already legendary World
Series game coming up next Right here, Jason and Mike

with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern seven pm
Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app Fox.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with My best friend
Mike Harmon and All counts. Bottom of the eighth inning.
This is just a heavyweight fight. Haymakers being thrown, Blake
troning on the mound for the Dodgers, Walker Buehler warming
in the bullpen, Dave Roberts is out to talk to
(16:31):
Trin and the Yankees have first and second and one out.
In the bottom of the eighth, Aaron Judge, with one out,
doubles down the line and left, and Jazz Chisholm has
walked on five pitches. Didn't look like trying to really
wanted a lot to do with Jazz Chisholm. Nothing that
was really even the ball that was a strike looked
(16:51):
like it was out of the strike zone. And Chisholm
was halfway up the first baseline before the home plate
Umpire Rippinger said, oh no, that's strike one. The next
pitch almost hit him. So right now here are the
Dodgers first and second, one out, Gen Carlos Stanton up
at bat, and Dave Roberts has just finished talking to
Blake trying, and he gave him the Aaron Rodgers Robert
(17:13):
Soli push in his chest. Hey two score lead, like Roberts.
Rogers did that to solid It was what the hell's
going on? Dave Roberts just did that to try and
it gave him the push like, hey man, I don't
know what he's saying to bring the Jets in do it?
Didn't that pay well, that's what remind him. Didn't remind
know what I'm doing. Come on, man, he gave him
the Roberts solid two handed push. And so now trying
it is out there, runners at first and second, Jim Carlos,
(17:35):
Stanton is up and his legacy is a Yankee could
be coming down to this at bat. And on the
first pitch, Stanton flies out to shallow right field. There
is no tag. Now two outs. There are now two
outs and the Yankees runners at first and second. So
(17:55):
Stanton's big postseason. My dad's just gonna tell me see
what I tell you can't in the clutch. A huge
and absolutely huge out from Blake Tridon who gets Stanton
swinging on a pitch on the outer half of the plate.
Now that is where the ball was earlier when he
homer earlier in the game. So clearly he was looking
for something out over the plate just a little bit
(18:17):
too much and not a great swing, and instead it's
a shallow pop up to right field. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
I know.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
The key term that is being used and maybe abused
at this point is ambush. I want to ambush the
pitcher when he tries to sneak a fastball in on me,
I hate first pitch swing almost categorically the ambush idea,
and occasionally yeah, you're right and you hammer it. We
(18:45):
saw it with Judge earlier, You've seen it with some
at bats, but then you have so many others where
it's yeah, I guess wrong, but I was swinging and
I hit a lazy pop up like there was no
charge behind what Stanton just did there. Right, he might
have guessed right, but the location was an inch or
two maybe further to the outer part of the plate
than he thought, which means it's a lazy fly ball
(19:07):
that Mookie Betts comes in and throws the third base
on one hop like there even if Judge was I
don't know. Let's grab Vince Coleman from the Anamalston History
Vince Coleman, I.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
E really speedy guy.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Even that guy's not thinking about tagging up based on
that where the ball was so like that at bat
was useless.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
So again Jim Carlos Stanton, with a chance to tie
the game at least, instead flies out to right fields.
And now Anthony Rizzo is up for the Yankees again.
Two outs, two on. They nearly had Aaron Judge picked
off of second base ye Will Smith throws all the
way down. However, it didn't look like Edmund was where
(19:48):
he he should have been for a play like that,
and they didn't get him at second. But it doesn't
matter because Blake tried. It is screaming to the heavens
because he has just struck Anthony Rizzo out on a
breaking pitch outside the strike zone to end the eighth inning.
The Dodgers are three outs away from the World Series.
(20:10):
They will hit the bottom of the ninth inning with
at least a seven to six lead a game that
looked like it was all but done. The Dodgers were
trailing five nothing early in this one. They are now
three outs away from the World Series. That pitch that
trying and just broke off on Rizzo. My goodness, that
was like that back in eight men Out when Seacott
(20:32):
is finally trying and he throws at one pitch the
game he didn't throw in the World Series and studs, turkles,
did you see that nitch? Like that was some kind
of pitch. We've got the door shut and we're in
a soundproof room.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
You can hear down the hallway and the scream as
Rizzo swung over the top of that one.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
So we're going to the ninth inning a one run
lead for the Dodgers right now, Well one is a
pretty slim margin there is where we sit right now?
Is Brian Fenley got you caught up on everything else
going on in the night in sports? To askar Hernandez
just let off the ninth inning with a single through
the hole. So the Dodgers had the leadoff runner on,
nobody out as they lead the Yankees seven to six.
(21:14):
He's coming out of the game right now, and I
think Steve Sachs is coming into pinch run. Let's go,
Chris Taylor coming into pinch run. So you see what
their philosophy is going to be for the ninth inning.
Defensive purposes, But the Dodgers have the leadoff runner on
looking for a big insurance run going to the bottom
of the ninth inning end the big thing for the
Yankees you've already seen. We've seen Judge ye right, We've
(21:39):
seen Stanton, We've seen the guys. Now it's gonna be
the bottom of the order, likely for Walker Buehler, who
has been warming in the bullpen. Trine's gone a couple
of innings, likely that's gonna be it for him. And
it looks like Walker Bueller is gonna come in to
try to close out the World Series for the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
I about that big game. We've seen, the history, we
know the earlier in this World Series, a guy much
maligned a lot of questions over the course of the
season when he came back from injury one in six
was his record, and.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Let's call what it is.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Once upon a time, the the golden boy for the
rotation right alongside Kershaw and the shit Well, the Los
Angeles crowd had really soured on him, right the oh
it's Bueller because it was no longer Bueller's got it.
It became a well, all right, let's see what he has,
(22:35):
and now he can potentially come in to close this
thing out.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
It's so great. Yeah, I mean it's such a drama.
I mean, look for a guy who couldn't get anybody
out in the regular season. Now and then the first
game of the playoffs against against the Padres, gave up
six runs. Uh, zero's in the NLCS, Zero's in the
World Series. All of a sudden, Hey no, I'm great again.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
But even in that start against the Padres, at some
point he figured something out right even there, like he
had that horrible inning and then finished that outing and
since then has been absolute nails. I really got excited
because you had the leadoff hitter on right, we have
the pinch runner, and then months he came up and
absolutely hammered it. But right at the right Yeah, Munsey
(23:16):
tomahawks a pitch that's high, look a little bit at
but you have seen him hit pitches like this. Hit
it right on the screws. But there is now one
out flies out to right field, one out runner at first.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Appreciate the greatness of that a bat though he actually
hit the ball. No, that's true, he did, he did,
he did. It's like it was like watching Aaron Judge
slowly go from all right, hit went back to the pitcher,
I hit a ground ball, and then he hit a
home run. It's like baby steps every time. That's where
we said, baby, he's not gonna need to take any
more steps, baby steps, baby steps. So again, this is

Speaker 5 (24:28):

Speaker 1 (24:28):
Bit of drama, of course, because you know Yankee fielding,
I didn't have balking. Good part of Yankee Yankee fielding. Tonight, Man,
I'm gonna win in blackout Like last game of the night.
Weaver Boks going over to first base to throw to
(24:49):
try to get Chris Taylor stealing, and Taylor is down
at second. So now the Doctors have a runner in
scoring position with one out as they bat in the
top of the ninth innings. Oh, as we continue, will
it be a Dodger two run lead, three run lead,
We'll be hearing the Yankees come to bat in the
bottom of the ninth thinning, three outs away from losing
(25:10):
the World Series to the Dodgers. All that more coming
up next. Keep it right here, Jason Smith, Mike Harmon.
You are listening to Fox Sports Radio, be.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith Show
with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Come on, Tommy Edmund. You couldn't swing like that in
the NLC. You gotta let it go.
Speaker 6 (25:30):
Man, Man, he kicked your ass. Dude, I'm not in
the World Series because of Tommy Arson. Are so angry anything.
Couldn't do that in the last series, jerk. Oh, that's
been the entire last days. Couldn't do that in the NLCS.
Hey months, he couldn't go over fifteen in the NLCS.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Could you?
Speaker 5 (25:45):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Do you hate Edmund or a monsy more?
Speaker 5 (25:47):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Edmund? Ed I just keep seeing Edmund get hits and
home runs and make plays. And it's just The Jason
Smith Show with Mike Carmon live from the tire rack
dot Com Studios.
Speaker 6 (25:56):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
The Yankees get out of a jam in the ninth inning,
first and second one out. Mark Leider Junior comes in
and he gets Tommy Edmund on a full count strikeout
out of the strike zone a really bad pitch, but
got Edmund to chase it, then gets a ground out
to third to end the inning. So the Yankees and
(26:17):
it's kind of the bottom of the order coming up
for them here in the bottom of the ninth inning,
and it's going to be Walker Bueller in from the
bullpen to try to close this out and win the
World Series for the Dodgers in his.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Career two and zher with a point five e R
in three World Series appearances spanning eighteen innings pitched.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Yeah, but that was back when he was Walker Bueller.
Now he's like, is he good still? Kind of somewhat
Walker Bule.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
I get I get to at least put that graphic up, though, Buddy.
I mean, that's all I'm doing. I'm trying to. I'm
just trying to, like I'm painting it with words here.
So you want to get the Jason clearly didn't watch
Game three. It's no, It's just just like the NFL
wanted to get all the Jets games out of the
way early. Hey, we got we had we had him
this week on third seasons off, We're gonna We're gonna
(27:07):
tap out of those Jets games, La, let's get him
on the first couple of months while people are still
interested in Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Now, of course, one of those starts earlier in this
World Series where he gave you five strong shutout innings,
two hits aloud, and now comes in. You know some
of us, uh, you know, part of me would have
liked to wait, there's a surprise. They've got a giant,
you know, like the medical tent on the sideline of
an NFL game where they're not showing you who's warming up.
(27:33):
And maybe it would be the surprise of Shoaeo Toani
wearing glasses like he's Charlie Sheen coming in. But here
we get Buehler and and it's it's so huge, a
guy that's been with the squad, the ups and downs
and certainly battling back this year to to what he's
been for them in these playoffs, these these last couple
of rounds.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
It's a huge moment.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
You know, there's part of me that thought, you know,
the going going back now, going back to before the
playoffs starts. It is Dodger getting and going. The Dodgers
are on the mound to clinch the World Series, it's
gonna be Otani on the mound of the ninth, right,
It's gonna be Otani. But then clearly that didn't happen,
and then the injury, you know, designated hitter. Yeah, but
I always had that vision that if they're gonna win
(28:16):
the World Series, it's gonna be Otani. No, it's one
of those great storybook kind of things, right, you know,
And and Buehller's story certainly fantastic as well, and Dodger fans,
he's beloved, been with the squad, you know, all these years,
so on opportunity for him to close it out here
in game five, But yeah, the Otani storybook, man, come on,
(28:36):
look at the year that that it was, you know,
it only seemed fitting that maybe you'd get one more
chapter to it. So right now it's gonna be Walker
Buehller facing the b And I say, I say bottomish
of the order because volt, yes, he's hitting seventh, but
he's been really good, yeah this series, but he is
facing seven, eight, nine. It's Vulpi, Wells and Verdugo right
(28:57):
now is what's gonna happen for Bueller as he tries
to close us out the Dodgers are three outs away
from their first world title. Since twenty twenty, Chris Taylor
has come into left field defensive purposes. Remember he came
in to run for t Oscar Hernandez in the top
of the ninth inning. Look, if you watch this game
and you walk away from and go, yeah, it was okay,
(29:18):
I don't think baseball's for you. No, I don't think baseball.
If you watch this series at all, I don't think
baseball is for you. Maybe maybe maybe something else is
your thing. Maybe you want to, but but baseball is
clearly not your thing.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
You can just go through the entire playoff run just
so many weird twists, big moments, giant performances, big hits,
big pitches made like we saw trying and break off
that pitch last inning. I mean, you just have moments
like that that you just you're left with.
Speaker 5 (29:49):
That is it?
Speaker 3 (29:51):
The screams that munch Oh yeah yeah, the monchs sure
sure were you making the Macauley Culkin home alone face.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
For those that don't like art, I mean, I don't
like to explain because people think, wait, the guy from
one order, munch, no no different, different?
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Oh nicely done, one not not much longer Bells. A
hell of a run he had with that character over
several series. But but all of that to say, it's
just been a wild roller coaster. And you know, baseball
is one of those that sometimes you need to sell
people on. You didn't need to do it during these playoffs.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Bueller has just gotten vultpy to ground out to Max Muncy.
There is one out in the bottom of the ninth inning,
Dodgers two outs away from the World Series. Just about
Bueller for this point, because this, look, how many times
you hear me say, how can not be romantic about baseball?
How much do I love baseball? But this is what
the sport does.
Speaker 5 (30:44):
Is that.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
You hear the phrase yesterday's goat is tomorrow's hero. Yeah,
you hear that you always have a chance for redemption.
But for Buehler to be somebody who I don't even
know if the Dodgers thought he was going to be
in their postseason plans at all, because when he came
back from the Lake Eatest injury, remember he hadn't pitched it.
He hadn't pitched hardly at all to come back, and
he's not pitched well since he returned. He was e
(31:06):
ra was up over six. They were trying to get
him innings to think well at some point, and then
they really went into the playoffs because there was absolutely
nobody else. They know, Okay, we're gonna have at least
one bullpen game. We can't have two bullpen games. So
all right, Bueller's our guy, right, everybody else Kershaw is hurt,
and and and glassnow was hurt. What are we gonna do?
And so because there was nobody else out there, and
(31:30):
he has the first game against the Padres and he's bad.
It's one really bet inning, right, but it still doesn't mean,
you know, you give up six runs.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
And that was the start that counts the same. I mean,
that's us for doing the nuance of how that start
eventually finished.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
But yeah, and the Dodgers throw him out there for
Game three against the Mets because there is nobody else.
They had the bullpen game in game two, and the
Mets knocked the crap out of that. They're up six
to one early. They win that game, and all of
a sudden, here's Game three and look at the advantage
of Mets have and not really that game is what
(32:02):
probably turned I don't want to say the entire fortunes
of the Dodgers, but it turned Bueller's fortunes because he
went four innings, he threw the ball really well, had
a lot of break off his pitches, he had the
Mets chasing, and suddenly it was, hey, we can breathe
easier now because we can trust him to start a game.
Speaker 5 (32:20):
Now.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Still we're gonna need the relievers at some point, but
we can now try if he comes back again in
Game seven or in the World Series, we can trust
him again. And then he comes back in game in
the World Series and he has a great game the
other night, and now here he has closing out the
World Series. He's someone that went from we don't know
if he's even gonna be on the team to he's
only pitching because there literally is nobody else, to now
(32:42):
you're our guy to close out the ninth inning. I mean,
that's just an unbelievable story.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Just the run through, I mean, is fastball hitting up
at ninety seven ninety eight miles an hour, he just
broke off an off speed pitch swung throughs for out
number two. So we're down to the all out here.
But to your point, right, nearly a six era in
the regular season, and you know, just showing what Dave
(33:08):
Roberts and management and what this Dodger staff has done
as we sit here on the precipice of closing this
thing out, is that your starters, we've changed, what the
metrics are and for baseball, you know it's in a
strange spot. Is that Bueller only had had to go
four innings to launch into another stratosphere and to regain
(33:32):
you know, the love, the adoration, whatever else. Six strikeouts
a four inning appearance. Normally it was all right, I
got to get seven out of the guy. I was like, no,
you were just hoping for four or five because you
trust your bullpen when the high leverage guys are available,
that you're going to be able to close out a game,
and that your offense, which has been a juggernaut all
season long, has been able to put up runs in
(33:55):
this series. I mean, most of it coming on the
way of the home run, except for that crazy ass
inning that we had back in the fifth.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Walker Buehler is one strike away from winning the World
Series for the Dodgers. A one to two pitch is
in the dirt. Strike three. The Dodgers are your World
Series champions. They are mobbing Buehler on the mound. Mookie
Betts is throwing his hat.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
How great is it that it's Verdugo that strikes out
to end it after his dopey support of the Thugs
from yesterday.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
He's gonna leap on somebody. The Dodgers are partying on
the mound in Yankee Stadium. They are your World Series
champions in twenty twenty four. It was a breaking pitch
in the dirt, second breaking pitch in the dirt of
the at bat to get Verdugo, and now it is
a party. Aaron Judge walking off, clearly not having an
(34:49):
Aaron Judge type World Series walker. Buehller is standing with
his arms out to the stands. I have to say,
are you not entertained the eighth World Series championion ship
for the Dodgers? And I assume it'll just be They're
just gonna walk on the on the field and go, Freddy,
here's your MVP Chow. You don't need a ceremony, there's
no drama here. Take your trophy, Freddy, you're the winners.
Speaker 5 (35:09):
You got it.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Go hang out with your family. Here's your trophy. A
game the Dodgers were down five nothing and it looked
like we were heading back to LA for Game six.
And then the Yankee defense went to work, and I
don't mean in a positive way. No and undone by
an Aaron Judge error and Anthony Volpi error, a mental
error involving Garrett Cole and Anthony Rizzo that should have
(35:34):
ended an inning, and instead the Dodgers get five to
tie it. They withstand the Yankees getting the go ahead,
running a sacrifice fly by John Carlos Stanton and getting
two runs in a very Dodger like rally in the
top of the eighth, some walks, a couple of sacrifice flies,
a catchers, and two shutout innings, one from Blake Trying
(35:59):
in the eighth and an easy inning from Bueller in
the ninth. The Dodgers are your World Series champions. More
reaction to this coming up next. Keep it here. It's
a must listen Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 6 (36:15):
Start to party, Los Angeles, You're Dodgers have on the
World Series.

Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon
live from the tyrack dot Com studios. The Dodgers are
champions of Baseball. They're eight title. Walker Buehler closes out
the Yankees in the bottom of the ninth inning. They
beat the Dodgers seven six. Blake trying the hero two
(37:14):
and third innings for the Dodgers tonight. Yankee defense the
hero for the Dodgers tonight, allowing them to come back
in this game. If you were doing Yankee defense bingo
and you had catchers interference and indifferent balk and drop
fly balls and bad throws and mental errors about covering
first base, boy, that's tell you won in blackout. You
(37:37):
you blacked out every Bingo spot on your card with
what the Yankees did tonight to help the Dodgers get
back into this and win the series in five games.
Joining us now in the hot line, nobody better. He's
our man. All's year every year. MLB Network Insider Extraordinary.
John Paul Morosi. He is on Twitter at John Morosi.
(37:58):
He is putting down his studying of the Lions roster
to talk to us now about what we just saw
in New York City. Jake Plee, what's happening, Buddy.
Speaker 5 (38:10):
I am utterly baffled. I congratulate the Los Angeles Dodgers,
and they're amazing fans, but the manner in which they won,
I'm still trying to piece together all of those moments
in that fifth inning. And it's just remarkable that the
most the most unearned runs ever given up five in
(38:33):
a World Series clinching game. No One we can stay
this definitively. No team has ever won a World Series
in quite the fashion that the Dodgers did tonight. It's
just a remarkable bit of baseball history, quite a book
end of this World Series. Game one epic, Game five
epic in its own way. And here we are now
(38:53):
reliving a truly unique night of Major League baseball.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
I'll tell you, John Paul, I mean you'll obviously we'll
get to the Dodgers part of this in a second.
But with a five to nothing lead, this should have
been over. It should have been over the Yankee It
was a party night. They were hitting home runs, the
Dodgers using their low leverage guys, and then Volpie makes
a bad throw. Aaron Judge can't catch an easy fly ball.
Garrett Cole and and Rizzo miscommunicate uncovering first base. Like
(39:21):
we've talked about how frustrating it is to watch the
Yankee succeed despite the fact that defensively they're not very
good and they run the bases poorly, and still they win.
Eventually they got to pay the piper for this, and
well they wound up paying tonight.
Speaker 5 (39:34):
Well in all in succession, and as the inning was unfolding,
there was at least a brief sense of foreboding. Once
Judge clanks the ball in center field, you think.
Speaker 4 (39:48):
What I was kind of strange.
Speaker 5 (39:50):
It just it was such a bizarre occurrence that you
were immediately surprised by it. And then I think at
the at the end of the day, was the play
in front of Volti over at in the in the
five to six hole maybe, but in that situation, the
catcher's running just get an ouse, you know, at that point,
(40:13):
just getting out and try to slow down the momentum.
But they just could not help themselves there. And obviously
the play with Cole and Rizzo, I get it, Mookie's
fast and and perhaps Rizzo was expecting Cole to be
there and Cole was expecting Rizzo to take it himself,
(40:33):
but you can't assume in that moment it is just
as basic as basic pitchers fielding practice gets.
Speaker 4 (40:42):
You gotta sprint over there.
Speaker 5 (40:43):
It's Game five of the World Series, and so I'm
I'm just baffled by by the way the way in
which they they lost, and yet to your point, at
the same time, when you look at the totality of
the series, as much as the Yankees had their opportunities
to win, they were too sloppy in too many moments
(41:07):
to be able to compete with the Dodgers. And it's
almost as though as soon as the Dodgers had had
that glimpse of opportunity in the fifth inning, they took
it and it was game over. It was just an
extraordinary series of events. And the other great note from
op the stats later in the game is that no
team had ever erased the five run depisode, then falling
(41:28):
behind again and then come back to win in a
World Series clinching game like this. It's just a night
that we are never.
Speaker 4 (41:35):
Ever going to forget.
Speaker 3 (41:36):
Hollywood's storybook kind of ending here, and certainly Jason and
I we just watched every movement of Dave Roberts because
while it looked a bit spotty in the end, bullpen management,
pitching management, victory for Dave Roberts, it was and.
Speaker 5 (41:57):
He did, I think, an excellent job brawl. I thought
last night, I know we talked about it a bit.
I didn't really have a huge issue with the way
the last night unfolded because I'm not sure who else
he would have gone to. You might have said, hey,
go a little bit longer with Casparius, but last night
was last night. Tonight was I'm going to go to
(42:17):
my leverage relievers and keep the game close and hope
that we get back into it. And at the time
when when things before things started to turn, the Yankees
had an eighty nine percent chance to win that game
based on a win probability eighty nine percent. And I think,
(42:38):
and to be curious, I'd be curious to hear from
Dave as he talks after the game. I wonder if
if the five run lead was about the limit to
where he was still going to chase chase that game
and try to and try to win it with his
with his a bullpen, if the Yankees had gotten to
a six run lead, a seven run lead, maybe it's
(42:59):
different and That's where again we talked about the Yankees issues. Tonight,
they stranded twelve runners and they left the bases loaded twice,
and so certainly we're going to zero in on the
fifth ending because it's just it's there, and we're going
to talk about it forever. And then obviously there were
some issues later on in the game with but the
catchers interference, balk and.
Speaker 1 (43:22):
We got.
Speaker 2 (43:25):
Do you know Tom?
Speaker 1 (43:26):
Do you know Tom Amansky? They need one of his videos?
Speaker 5 (43:30):
They do?
Speaker 1 (43:31):
They do?
Speaker 5 (43:32):
And I think too, you know, uh Kinley couldn't throw
a strike. This is real pressure. And and as much
as we talk about the struggles in this World Series
of Otani and up until tonight of these offensively the
struggles of Judge, it's hard. It's hard to be this
(43:54):
great on this stage. And and even even the best,
the best players, they get tired, they get worn down,
mentally tired, and they just the Yankees had it for
a moment early and then just couldn't reclaim it. And
I think one of the greatest ironies too is Judge
Hobart in the first inning and at that point you're
(44:15):
thinking they got this, They're rolling game six man Friday Night,
it's gonna be awesome, and all of a sudden, it
all changed very quickly. And I think that's the tough
part for me is that, you know, on the Yankee side,
the judge who had such an extraordinary season, We're gonna
sink back on this World Series and say what for
(44:38):
the early home run in Game five? He struggled a
lot offensively, and then he made the misque that began
the sequence of events that had led us to the
Dodgers celebrating on Yankee stadiums field instead of the Yankees
getting ready to fly out to La And it's and
it's not his fault, but certainly this is going to
(44:58):
be a part of his offseason and the way that
he enters it is very uncomfortable period. So it's it's
a it's a difficult stretch for him, but the Yankees
and this is going to be one of those very
very difficult seasons to get over. And oh, by the way,
one Soda is a free agent, so what could happen there?
Speaker 1 (45:18):
Well, I will I will say that, Look, I have
good news for the Yankees on that front. Hey, if
it comes down to the Yankees and the Mets, for
Juan Soto. There is absolutely no way the Yankees let
him go to the Mets, as much as Brian Cash
and the Yankees don't spend money there. He says, I
got to walk around this town. There is Whatever the
Mets offer him, they will offer him more. There is
(45:39):
no The best the Mets are going to do is
drive up the price. If it's between the Mets and
the Yankees, there's no way Wan Soto is leading. That's
just not will be.
Speaker 5 (45:49):
Fortunately, Fortunately on Monday, we have our our MLB Network
off season programming getting started, and you'll be enjoying Hotstone,
brought to you by Juan Soto for the Insire Inspire Winter.
And I can assure you that we'll be We'll be
analyzing every last I'll at some point in time, I'll
(46:11):
be doing the Soto shuffle in my in my office
as I'm doing my segments. He's going to be that
important to the show that's this winter. So you'll get
plenty of Soto talk from me. Anytime you want you
call me, I'll be I'll be in Soto mode this winter.
Speaker 1 (46:25):
Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 3 (46:26):
Jason'll be trying to insert himself into the conversation, offering
to be a caddy for Sterns or whatever he needs
to do to help make the pitch right.
Speaker 5 (46:36):
And I'm sure the foursome for the negotiation will be Turns, Soto,
me and Jason.
Speaker 4 (46:44):
I think that's that's the play I'll have.
Speaker 5 (46:47):
I will.
Speaker 4 (46:47):
It's funny.
Speaker 5 (46:48):
I had one one very accomplished baseball player who wants
asked me, Hey, John, would would you ever would you
ever want to come golfing with me? And I said,
I'll just be honest about this, having golf since I
was sixteen and wasn't good, wasn't very good back then.
He's like, Okay, we'll probably have lunch sometime then instead.
So that's like, then, that's totally true. I wish, I
(47:11):
wish I could be a functional contributor to a golf foursome.
Speaker 4 (47:15):
But I am.
Speaker 5 (47:16):
I am a total zero.
Speaker 1 (47:17):
I'm with you. I am much better contributed to lunch.
I will contribute. I contribute to whatever is on the
plate one hundred percent.
Speaker 5 (47:24):
Lunch is always a good idea. I will always be
in favor of lunch.
Speaker 1 (47:28):
All right. Now, now here's the shocker party, because if
I'm sure, if I told you before the series started
that sho hey Otani and Max Munsey, we're going to
combine to go two for thirty four. You would say, well,
the World Series is going through the canyon of heroes,
but this is what we saw. Munsey struggles as hot
as he was in the NLCS, and I don't know
if it's just the injury for Otani John Paul, but
(47:49):
he really wasn't the same in the World Series. I
don't know that he was the same overall in the playoffs.
He only tried to steal two bases after stealing fifty
nine in the regular season. And some of his swings
look good in the World Series, some of them looked
like they were really awkward. I really wonder if he's
been dealing with something even before the slide into second
base the other night.
Speaker 5 (48:11):
It's a very fair question, and maybe we'll get a
little bit more intel, or maybe we won't, because with
Showy there's a lot that we don't know with respect
to even the nature of the elbow surgery that he
had last year, so there's still a lot unknown there.
It does those seem to me that that at least
(48:32):
he has arrived at this point, and certainly I think
winning will do a lot to uh set a really
good course for his off season's It seems like at
the end of the day, even though I agree that
he did seem like he wasn't fully himself in October,
he is still healthy enough to have played this month,
(48:53):
and that means that for the most parties entering the
off season healthy. We'll see what ends up going on
the shoulder and if that requires any additional work. But
for the Dodgers, it's difficult for them to imagine a
better year one for Otani in the Dodger uniform. They
win the World Series, he goes fifty to fifty for
(49:13):
the first time ever, and he ends the year from
the standpoint of his right arm, his prize pitching arm
in a good place where him pitching in twenty twenty
five is a very realistic idea for them. So it's hard,
I'm sure for the Dodgers to basically have anything anything
(49:34):
to complain about right now. But I will agree with
you that didn't really seem like he was necessarily in
his best form. But all of a sudden that no
longer is all that terribly concerning, because there is no
longer a Game six to play, and the Dodger the
Champions of the Baseball World JP.
Speaker 3 (49:49):
We talked a lot about Freddy Freeman last night and
his heroic twelve RBI for the series, tying a World
Series record. Let's move back to the manager for second,
Dave Roberts. How much of the speech that he makes
now when he's enshrined in Cooperstown is dedicated to his
bullpen management.
Speaker 5 (50:06):
Here there you go, And I love what you said
there about his Hall of Fame bona fides. Because he's
now a two time World Series champ, best winning percentage
ever for a Dodgers manager. With a sufficient number of games,
he no longer has to answer any questions.
Speaker 4 (50:24):
And I'll be really curious to hear as he.
Speaker 5 (50:27):
Talks about the decision making process and in the bullpen
management tonight how much of it was as he had
planned it early and how much of it was him
improvising in a good way as the game went along.
And Walker Buehler saying that Kid Rose was all in
the field after the game, that he hadn't thrown a
(50:49):
ball until he started warming up today in the bullpen
before the ninth inning. Just how amazing is that? And
I go back, I remember years ago he had Clayton
Kershuck closed out of postseason series when no one expected it,
and I believe one day of rest in a somewhat
similar situation. So he's shown me the willingness to be
(51:10):
creative and to go to different pitchers in different circumstances.
And that was the case with Bieler tonight, and Bueler,
by the way, someone who had a sixth era in
the month of August, and now he is all of
a sudden on the pitching mount rushmore for the Dodgers
in the month of October. So creativity plus for the
(51:30):
Dodgers and having the conviction to go to his a
bullpen even when the score was not in his favor
or even close to it is one of the ways
that we're going to remember this as being an absolute
apex game. As the manager for Dave.
Speaker 1 (51:46):
Roberts, well, if we let you go, John Poly, do
want to say this? I know I could have done that.
I know I could give him too much credit for creativity,
because if I was in the dugout with Dave Roberts,
he turned me says what do you think for the
ninth inning? I would have said, well, in eighty eight
was sort of went to horror and closed out the
world too. Here's a britt Walker Bullern. Oh okay, great,
I mean I got to come up with that.
Speaker 5 (52:04):
There you go, And that's a pretty good, pretty good
plot twist, pretty good way of tying it all together.
Eighty eight to the twenty twenty four And I thought
Joe Davis's call was brilliant. Of course, Joe has been
at the mic for so many great moments for the
Dodgers and for baseball overall here in the last several years.
That was a great call there. And the Dodgers now
(52:26):
will have their parade, and I'm sure every sports fan
in LA is going to want to have a connection
to at least those who are not Angels fans. We'll
want to have a piece of.
Speaker 4 (52:37):
That amazing celebration on Friday.
Speaker 5 (52:39):
So good, good things out of the Dodgers, all very
well deserved the off season ahead, and also ahead will
be a rousing seventeen fourteen victory at Lambeau for the
Lions on Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 1 (52:52):
He's on Twitter at John Morosi. That's John Morosi, MLB Network,
inside of John Paul Morosi, John Paul as always, thank
you for everything. Thank you for a busy week this week.
We'll talk soon as we get into the off season.
Speaker 5 (53:04):
Sounds great. My friends always love our conversations appreciate all
of them during the course of the year.
Speaker 1 (53:08):
Thanks for having allo brother be good, the unbelievable John
