Speaker 1 (00:31):
Greetings, Welcome inside, Happy Wednesday, The Jason Smith Show with
my biss friend.
Speaker 2 (00:38):

way tire buying should be well. This week, we jump
right in again, Game five of the World Series, top
(01:02):
of the seventh inning and it's the Blue Jays with
a three to one lead over the Dodgers. Back to
back home runs by Schneider and Vled Junior to lead
the game off sacrifice fly after a Tioskar Hernandez misplay
had been the three runs for Toronto, Keike Hernandez home
run the only run of the game for the Dodgers.
(01:22):
Treya Savage has struck out seventy four men tonight. Seems
like it first rookie since nineteen forty nine to strike
out more than ten batters in the World Series. Go
back to Don Neukom the last time this happened in
the World Series. Look, this is it is. It's stunning. Yeah,
(01:45):
But as you watch these games and you see the
Dodgers suddenly off everything, the Dodger all the money, everything else.
The first thing, because there's a lot of takes on
this right now, the first one is that overall, if
you're watching both of these teams, the dog like a
team that's running out of gas very quickly, like the
the the Pinnacle with the Freddie Freeman walk off. They
(02:08):
have just kind of slept walked their way through the
last couple of games so far into the bottom of
the seventh inning. It's not like this Blue Jays pitching
staff as lights out right. They didn't have to bring
in their closer last night. They have to. They have not.
The Dodgers just have not been hitting. They change the
lineup tonight, Dave Roberts is trying to do something, dropping
Mookie Betts down, moving up Will Smith, benching Andy pa
(02:31):
Has and it's just not where they just they look
like a team that that's running out of gas all
at once. They don't really have a lot of jump.
They don't have a lot of Hey, we're gonna stick
with it. I don't you don't see the big fun
and togetherness and the celebration like they just look like
it's it's shocking them. Maybe they're shocked. The Blue Jays
didn't roll over after the big Game three. They thought, hey,
(02:52):
we're gonna show up in Game four and we're gonna
waltz our way to a win. But they really if
you hear the phrase in sports, out of gas a lot,
that's what it looks like the Dodgers are right now.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Yeah, absolutely no juice and lifeless at the plate. We've
talked about it and their continued struggles, hitting just a
shade above two hundred for the series. Coming into tonight's game,
all the shuffling up did nothing right. First innings, I like, okay,
very quickly, you're down to doffing. As you got the
stat from from Ilo seven hundred and five games, and
(03:25):
that's the first time that's ever happened. So you know,
as I always say, if you're gonna go down, well
fail spectacularly.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
So that that was it.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Two huge mistakes from from Snell to start a ball.
The first the home run sales before anybody's even sat down,
and then Guerrero follows it up. You know that guy
again launches one. But the first inning just hitting Mookie
Betts comes up. It's like, all right, he's third, maybe
this will make him feel better whatever that he'll go no.
(03:55):
Three pitches, he's down on strikes. That begins a run
for you, Savage. That now through six innings he's just
been masterful, right with the one mistake to Keiky Hernandez,
and there's no answer. There's short at bats, Guys are
reaching and swinging at pretty much everything. No plate discipline,
and you're not gonna change.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Now you are. And look, and that's the thing is
that you want to know why the Blue Jays are
winning and the Dodgers are losing, right, it's because they
are easy. They do that is good magic. Johnson would
know that now, he absolutely will. He might have tweeted
that out today tonight, the Magic Johnson Twitter game goes global,
and if you after what happened today, now the Magic
Johnson Twitter game, we're absolutely playing that like five times tonight.
(04:35):
But you see the difference in the Dodgers and the
Blue Jays when it comes to their offensive philosophies. The
Dodgers are a team that sits around and waits for
something to happen, and the Blue Jays have gone out
and made stuff happen. Right, just go just just use
this game as as a as a as a jumping
off point. Right. There's no grinding out of at bats
(04:57):
by the Dodgers. There's no hey, if if we get
a leadoff walk, let's try to get one, let's choice
the offense. There's none of that. It's just let's just
hope we get hits and bunches. Right. That's kind of
way the Dodgers are. They're not built to be a
team where, hey, they're scrappy one through nine and they're
gonna find a way to put runs on the board
because they're gonna run the pitch total up. They're gonna
do X, Y and Z like you. Savage is still
(05:17):
in the seventh inning and he's dominant right, Like the
these have been bad at bats by the Dodgers, they
sit around and wait for something to happen. Meanwhile, look
at the Blue Jays. You know they come into this saying,
you know what, Blake Snell's gonna try to get that
fastball over early in the count. Let's go hunt that fastball.
Might have his fastball, Let's go hunt velocity location in
game one. So came right back here and Schneider jumped
(05:40):
on the first bit. Let's go hunt that fastball. First
pitch fastball, home run, third pitch fastball home run. Okay, Blake,
you're not just gonna throw it fast ball over the
plate and they're gonna they're gonna sit back. And you
knew coming in this was that let's go get it
because we know in that first inning he's gonna try
to just Hey, I'm gonna throw that middle of the
plate fastball to try to get the first pitch over
(06:01):
the plate. Let's go hunt it. And they hunted that
fastball that had another big hit in the inning as well.
Blake Snell is able to get out of the inning
after I think seven different reviews of plays of a
stolen basee and a bet, but that you could tell
here's Toronto with an absolute aggressive attitude of let's go
after it, and the Dodgers more passive attitude. Since Freddie
(06:23):
Freeman's home run, it's been that this should have been
the series should have been over. You would think after
that the Dodge would a game like that, eighteen innings,
we're up, We got Otani going to the next game
like this should be over. And it's stunning that we're
at the point where the Dodger are nine outs away
from going back to Toronto. Where is it gonna be
one game, two games for the Blue Jays win the
World Series? Like this is where we're at right now.
(06:44):
But you can see that one team clearly it's not
about wanting it more. It's just this is a strategy
that's working. And for the Dodgers, like you need somebody
to just grab them around, just grab them by the
shoulder and say, hey, got this is unacceptable man. This
will not say you need the dude to walk in
and go this.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
We will not stand.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
This.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Lack of aggression will not stand instead of aggressives, you lack.
This lack of aggression will not stay. But the Dodgers
don't have a guy like that, right, the Blue Jays do.
And Vlad Guerrero Junior, Right, he's that guy that grabs
him and says, no, it's not over, let's go do this.
Like I'm embarrassed for the Dodgers right now that here
they are three innings away from going back down three
to two after winning Game three with the Freddie Freeman
(07:24):
walk off in the eighteen thing that should have been
lights out. It should have been We're coming to park
the next day. We are throwing the hammer down and
we're gonna win this thing tonight. We're gonna win this
in three games. We're gonna try to win in three games.
Just make Game five a party and instead look at
where they are.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Yeah, salty was how you describe Freddie Freeman as he
was talking about where they're at, Uh, calling out on
himself and the rest of the team going, hey, it
can't be all show. Heo Tani, Right, it's not a
one man band out here, and he can't hit a
nine run home run. Like that's just not the way
baseball works. It could be if we could adopt those
(07:58):
rock and jock rules that you do up all those
years ago. But you know, look, at Schneider on the
other side. He changes up the lineup. Lucas led off
in Game four. This time it goes to Davis Schneider,
who looks like he's straight out of Central Casting.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
He looks like he's from the seventies. That he looks
like he looked so many MLB players from the seventies,
is what he looks. Go get him.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Go find yourself a set of nineteen seventy nine or
nineteen eighty Tops baseball cards and just slowly go through them.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
You will find guys who look exactly like Tim Foley's
a good pull. Tim Foley's a very good pole.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
With the add the pillbox hat and the way you
got what about Matt fully Matt motivational speaker. Yes, did
not have a mustache. Uh, he had a little coat.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
You go a little bit of I was just thinking
of somebody else that jumped through my head and passed
out of it. Johnny Walking fusts a little bit man.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
John, Yeah, go back to the backstop for those Tigers
teams late seventies, early eighties, great stratomatic player.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
That was a hell of a team to run with,
you know, and look, and this is when when We've
talked about this, and it's it's important to bring this
up because these are big through storylines. Look, the Dodger
starting pitching hasn't been terrible. No, right, it's not. And
that's the thing. From the from the NLCS to now,
the starting pitching was just so good. It covered up
all the ills. The Dodgers didn't really hit, right, it
(09:17):
covered up they covered up.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
We would have brought it up, and we did, but
it was an ancillary story to look at Yamamoto, look
at this.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Yeah, it's I mean, it's you didn't it because hey,
you're gonna But what did I say? The Dodger remind
me the twenty fifteen mets where they were. They're pitching
in the NLCS against the Cubs. Oh my goodness, this lineup,
and they just went through Harvey and cinder Garden, Matts
and de Gram and a good luck and then you
get to the World Series you get a bounce, right.
I think I said the word bounce like nine thousand
times the last ten days. But it's true. We're not
(09:47):
even talking about basketball and and so coming in I
you know, I said, look, it's not like the Dodgers
all of a sudden gonna forget how to pitch, but
you're not gonna have that dominant run and you better hit. Now.
You look at the game so far in this year,
Yama Moto absolutely dominant, right, absolutely dominant. Blake Snell wasn't
wasn't great in Game one, Shoeo Tani not bad right
(10:10):
left with the two. You know, he allowed two runs
out did have two one. They both wound up scoring
because the Dodger's bullpen is terrible. But Otani didn't pitch badly, right.
Tyler Glastow didn't pitch badly. He was done in by
a really bad error by Tommy. He had been led
to a four running but they wound up winning that.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
He made a really bad pitch that sailed up he
did he did. If you make that play, you're out
of the year with no runs. So it's not like
the Dodger pitching and not not like I thought the
Dodge pitcher was suddenly gonna implode. But they weren't going
to pitch as well as they did in the NLCS.
And but the but the flip side was okay, you
know they're gonna hit, right, They're gonna hit at some
point and they just have not. And it's not like
(10:45):
the Blue Jays have come in here with the staff
are going. Man, it's Steve and Dave Stewart, and then
in the end of the game it's Hanky and and
and Mike Timlin and boy, we're we're really throwing the
hell out of the ball.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Man.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
The Wan Guzman is is pitching really well. Dude starts.
I saw Wan Goozlin Syracuse. I mean, really, this is
not this kind of lineup that's come in here. This
is you Savage who has started five games in the
postseason and three games in the regular season. I don't
quite think he's to read school yet, but he kind
of looks that way. But that's what's been killing the dog.
(11:17):
I mean, they're hitting like across the board. It's just
they've just not been playing at a Dodgers level. And
and I don't know that they absolutely have the wherewithal
of the or the time where someone's gonna step up
and say, Okay, this is done, get on my back.
I can do this. Flat Junior is that guy with
the Blue Jays. He has said, get on my back.
(11:37):
Let's go. Okay, Hey, Flat Junior is doing He's gonna
continue to hit home runs. Okay, that's what we're doing,
but the Dodgers don't have that. It's it's all of
these things are happening all at once, and you can
debate what the most serious of them all is. But
you know, the bounce and starting pitching, the approach hitting,
the difference between them and the and the Blue Jays,
that all gets you to where we sit right now,
(11:58):
with the Blue Jays threatening Blake Snell coming out of
the game, now in the seventh inning, Dodger bullpen getting involved,
so yay, Dodger bullpen. That's why it all comes back
to why we are we are right now.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
First and third, two out does the first playoff start
away from Toronto? For you, Savage, the only time he
was truly dominant was going back to start against the Yankees,
and there he only went five and five and a third,
but at eleven strikeouts right overwhelmed them. They eventually win
the game thirteen to seven. But you look at the
(12:29):
way he's gone going at it today and approaches and
everything else. It's the you know, the Blue Jays will
hit the opposite way they like. We keep watching the
Dodgers trying to swing for the fence like you're not
getting it all back, and you know it's okay to
play station to station now and again, and Toronto defensively
(12:50):
has been better play for play over the course of
this series. Now, the third run goes back to a
fly ball, ta oscar is instead of saying, hey, I'll
let it bounce in front of me, hold him to
a single, kind of got caught in between, did a slide,
the ball rolls to the walls. So you got a
guy on third. Okay, that's it, there's your run. It
(13:14):
was destined to score, but Blake Snell leaves with runners on.
But had pitched pretty well outside of those first two mistakes.
And as we talked about a lot yesterday and have
throughout this series, it becomes the you can't play thinking
your guy's gonna throw shut out ball, right, You've got
to figure out a way to manufacture runs. We've had
(13:35):
a couple of instances of balls coming inside.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
You know what.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
I know, you don't have the Barry Bonds armor on,
but you guys need base runners. You need something to
upset the apple cart. Force this guy to pitch from
the stretch, maybe get a little bit of something going.
I know, a lot's been made here locally Los Angeles
of getting you know, the fans and they're on there,
they're sitting on their hands. I don't know how much
(13:59):
that juice that gives a player. I mean, that's an
individualized thing. But certainly when you can hear crickets, that's
not good. When the only noise is de to rule
in between innings, that's not a good thing.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Exit out about a fresca exit swollen down the Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmon Enriquez in
for the Dodgers, and he's now a high leverage guy
because well, his last outing was good, so he's high leverage. Well,
and there's other guys you ain't trusted. Back out of
the mouth. We'll climb his next and then it's Sasaki.
Those are your guys, man. So three to one Toronto
(14:34):
with the lead over the Dodgers, two outs, top of
the seventh, runners at first and third. Will keep you

Things have not gotten any better for the Dodgers in
the last five minutes. Now a five to one lead.
(16:08):
The Blue Jays lead it now after a wild pitch
Boba Schett with a single to right field, bases loaded,
two outs. The Blue Jays up five to one as
they continue to bat in the top of the seventh inning.
So we'll keep you updated on this game here where

Speaker 4 (16:29):
The world, go Azex dudes.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
All right, longtime friend of the show, Haul a very
good voter. Check him out to the thirty third team
on Twitter at Jason Cole sixty two.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
Jordan loves how easy Now.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
I gonna ask you, Jay Cole, if I asked you
this a week ago, you'd give me a different answer.
But better offense right now? The Dodgers tonight or the Jets.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
You know, I was thinking about this today with the Jets,
and so with the Jets, when you win a game
and you have the next week off like a bye week,
is that sort of like the modern version of the
Jets winning the Super Bowl?
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Yeah, it's like the off season, we get back at it.
We start again next.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Week because you get to enjoy a victory for two
weeks rather than just one.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Yeah, it's awesome. We hang it back.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
There's a ceremony better whatever your often some better right
now as a per last week than ours. Okay, but
we're the World Series and you guys haven't blading your
lifetime in a super Bowl. I'm done. That's it.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Bye. He had a good run as Jason Cole. The
shortest visit ever from Jason Cole. Well, you can tell
is salty that the Dodgers are losing five to one
in the well.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
The worst part about this is my wife is a
Giants fan, and she's texting me throughout this game, every
time they the every time the Blue Jays course.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Just letting you know, hey, do you see that wild pitch?
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (18:08):
I was like, yeah, she's like a little baseball emoji.
She said, you know something something to ridly kill me.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
No, I gotta be honest with you here because I remember,
like when when my wife and I had this conversation.
She went to Michigan, right, and so me going to Syracuse. Yeah,
like we have rivals like Penn State's are rival Mammy's
and reports like, yeah, but I said, if we had
met in college or right out of college and I
had gone to Ohio State, could we have gotten together?
And she says, oh, no way, never, Never would have happened,
(18:38):
Never would have happened.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
My favorite is Drew Henson having to play his home
Triple A games in Columbus and getting booed in Columbus.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
I can't believe you and your wife are married being
Dodgers and Giants fans like, how does that? I can't
believe that works.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
It's because I'm so charming.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Oh okay, Oh that's what it is. Yeah, oh okay,
Like the Dodgers superstars are also likable. Jason Cole is likable.
Oh okay, that's that's that.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
Okay, Yeah, that's what I project. I project likability. Okay,
all right, So what do we got here?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Hey, maybe the LSU governor will make you the next
head coach of the LSU football team. That could happen,
just them, He'll let you know.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Yeah, as long as I'm willing to do it on
the cheap and do it according to metrics or whatever
he's talking about. Why are politicians games? All the things
that they know absolutely zero about I mean like next
to nothing. I mean not even next to nothing, absolutely nothing.
My favorite was like the taxpayers of the great state
of Louisiana are not going to put up with having
(19:45):
for this. It's like, dude, now, if you flight department
is a corporation, it exists on its own, it receives
no public funding, it doesn't receive taxpayer money. You're just
lying straight up about what it is. I mean, it's
just such an incredible political scam and effort. I mean,
(20:06):
and not that the athletic director has done any great
job right of of you know, Hiront coach and Brian
Kelly with a fifty three million dollar payoffs. You know,
there's there should be some significant questions, but this is
not what the what the governor of the State of
Louisiana should be bothering himself with. I'm you know, like
(20:27):
go back, go back, plown out to you know, like
you know, trying to improve education and one of the
worst and most corrupt states in the country.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Well that in LSU football, those are there's your biggest
things right there.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
I mean, you know, you got RDI Gras and LSU football.
All they got that's all they got, you know, and
the Superdom. And because look at the Saints, I mean, Tyler.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Tyler Shuck era is happening, and they said today he's
going to start all season. You wait, Tyler Shuck's like
Jackson Dart.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
What's the point, what's the point of this? What's the point?
What's the point here? What are we doing here? What
are we doing with the Saints? Shouldn't they be relegator
or something like that? They shouldn't they be playing in
the A C C or something like that?
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Yes, Saints and the Jets and the Raiders. Yes, send
those three down.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Yeah, hay, wouldn't Well, the NFL be so great with relegation.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
You bring up Ohio State Indiana, right, I was thinking
of bringing over tuned teams named the Rough Riders from
the Yeah. Yeah, well you know, I know you got
that's tough though, CFL. That's now I think people you
want to.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
See you then you have to cooperate with Canadians more,
and we already have problems with them right in the world.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Yeah, it is very difficult. Yes, So now so now
you go there, so you bring up those teas. Hey,
it looks like Ohio State Indiana there.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
What I was did you imagine have the cowboysver facing relegated?
Speaker 1 (22:02):
I built this league.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
There would be no teams in Los Angeles if it
wasn't for me, Jerry Jones, you know that is I
mean that would be fun?
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Yeah, yeah, oh, that would be that would be delicious.
That I would pay money just to have a camera
on Jerry the entire game as they faced relegation there
had it? Don't even watch? And could we do it
side by sides like the split screen you show the
(22:32):
play on one side and you sewed Jerry on the other.
And the possibility of relegation that, I mean, that's genius
right there. That's what we're here for.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
All of that.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
I think you see The thing about it is you
could do it with the Jets. But would he would
not understand what relegation is.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
He spent a lot of time in London. He was
a really good owner except for the winning.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
This last week, Ambassador Johnson was over there and still
didn't figure it out. That's the biggest problem. Yeah, he
went over there and what's this relegation thing? I don't
get it? All right? What what now?
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Look, I'm actually for the first time one of the
first times I'm gonna give a little bit of Hey,
you got to give Jerry Jones credit for something, right,
because as much as he's been, as bad as it's
been for him to try to build the Cowboys into
winners and they went from a super Bowl team to
where they are now. Like they generally don't have horrible
seasons or horrible trends or horrible you know, multiple seasons
(23:30):
in a row. Like once in a while, like once
every ten years they'll have a four and twelve or
six and ten, but generally every year, like, hey, they're
they're in it right. Sometimes I'm in along. Sometimes they're
ten to eleven win teams. Sometimes they're eight win teams.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
You know. Yeah, I mean the Dave Campbo We are
on a side, right, Like they got out of the
Dave Campbo thing and they get to ourselves and then
they figured out, just ride this thing out. It'll be
okay year after year, and yeah, you can, you can
stay relevant. You can still sell hope and tickets because
let's face the Cowboys fans have got to be the
(24:05):
dumbest fans in the world, Like they really do like
to have this to be able to do this year
after year after year, and keep buying tickets and swag
for a team that you know is just trying to
get by, but really, like you know that they're not
really trying to win. They're just trying to win enough
to keep you salivating.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Yeah, talking about the Steelers that way. Yeah, but you
know what, look, Cowboy bling does look pretty good, man.
The colors look great and stuff they put out like you,
you get some pretty sharp gear Cowboys gear. Man, it
does look really good. Okay, the Cowboys beat.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Well.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
And the best part is that Jerry has a carve
out in the collective bargain agreement that he keeps its
keep all of his merch money. So there it works
even better.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
It worked for him even better.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
And now he's got the uh extra one hundred billion
dollars of natural gas or whatever's going on. Jason Cole
our guest thirty three thirty third Team. You find him Amazon,
plenty of books that he has authored. Holidays are coming
so good, gift ideas certainly there and at Jason Cole
sixty two where you find him on Twitter. Hall of
(25:20):
Fame voter joins us each and every week. All right,
Trade deadlines coming up kirk Cousin says, I'd really like
to go somewhere to start.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
His audition was terrible.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Are we expecting more fireworks at the trade deadline here?
Speaker 1 (25:34):
It was terrible.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
He was awful. He didn't have Drake London, but that's
no excuse.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
I mean, no, he was he was futured. I mean
they lost. They lost at home to a garbage Dolphins team.
So yeah, like just just said there and what the
money here? Just just take just take the cash. Don't
suit up for somebody else because you're just you're you're
going to ruin and already mediocre legacy you are.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Don't ruin that mediocre late. He's a great business man.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
Yeah, you know, what are the Bengals gonna do with Hendrickson?
Where are we with a couple of pass rushers? The
Dolphins should have? Should have the Dolphins cast a couple
of these guys out already.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Seems like a Chan and those guys should all be gone, right.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
Maybe not a Chan, that's that's the gay. You have
them under control for relatively cheap, but the Jal adults
kid certainly him Chubb. Yeah, like there's some guys there
who should be I know some of these guys are
banged up a little bit, but they should be cashing.
They should be cashing some of these guys. They definitely
should be cashing some of these casts.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
All right, So now let's let's let's let's finish here.
We take a look at tomorrow. Right, We got TNF,
We got Lamar Jackson's return. He we found out he
was the one that said take out the cornhole boards
and the pink ping pong tables everything else. Did the
Ravens still have a path to the playoffs here? Or
is every just whistling through the graveyard.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
I just, I was on Baltimore Station earlier this week,
and I just, I mean, I said it with you
guys after week two. I don't believe in this defense.
So maybe they can outscore everybody, and that's fine. And
you know, the you know, the the cornhole stuff in
the video games. You know that's great, but you know,
they were playing that stuff when they were winning before, right, Like,
(27:34):
it didn't seem to have a negative effect on of
you know, when they were really really good. You know
what's having a negative effect on them is that Zach
Orr doesn't seem to know how to coach a defense
is the problem when you're a defensive coordinator. I just
don't I don't see it from this team this year.
(27:55):
And I'm I'm baffled by them, I really am. I
I'm baffled that John Harbaugh would let things get to
this level. And again, you know, I know, Wink Martindale
unlike his his uh his namesake on the game shows,
it's a little difficult to get along with. But wouldn't
(28:16):
you have figured out a way to make it work
with Martindale to have brought him back somewhere along the
line so that you would have had a better defense,
or go and get somebody else who can do this,
because this is this is untenable. This is the worst.
This is the worst Ravens defense since what nineteen ninety eight?
Speaker 1 (28:41):
I mean, think about that before ray Lewis.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
How far back we're talking about We're talking about year
three of ray Lewis, right, he was wrapped in ninety
He's wrapped in ninety six, and you know, they were
starting to build something, but you know, they were still
kind of meandering around trying to figure out where they
were really good. And then they got Adams and Sarahgusas,
so that you know, basically Adams and Sarahgusa could just
(29:06):
pave the way for Ray to just dominate. And then yeah,
they had some of the other guys like Bowlwear and
Robertnette come along too, and they got they got the
corner starts. So yeah, they ended up pretty fabulous collection
of talent eventually. But this is the least aggressive team
(29:27):
I've seen on defense for the Ravens since then. And
even then they might not be as aggressive as that teamly,
and that was some those some pretty media for stuff
back then. So I don't really see the path, and
I don't think the path includes you know, you know,
(29:48):
the swearing of video games or corn hole or even
if you brought Cornholio to play on defense for them.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Hey, that's the great Cornholio. I am the great Cornholio.
I am the great Cornolio.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
If you had the great Cornjolio play defense, what position
would you play? Uh?
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Oh, middle linebacker? I mean you'd have to, I mean
you have to you have to say.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
Is any more of a of a defensive tackle? Oh?
Speaker 1 (30:17):
I don't know, because you want to be able to
stand up after the play and put his jersey over
his head and say that after a but if.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
You had like the Great Kazoo, to me is a
free safety.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
No question. He has dumb dumb right after the court.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
Yeah, that that to me is And what are you know,
fred Swinstone, you know, really a space either Barney is
kind of I mean Barney rebel is definitely Zach Thomas. Okay,
so we know we know that, right.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
I don't know about that front. But he's not going
to like that front. I don't know, Bob blit's your
quarterback front. I can't get there front.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
Speed racer. Speed racer would be your run end playing
on the open side because he really not great in traffic.
Just put it that way. But race for er is
you're the big spot that you put anywhere because nobody's
quite sure what he's doing. He's always kind of working there,
but you're not sure exactly what he's about to do.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
And and Moutley would be on the sideline laughing when
something goes wrong, and he would let he would laugh
and point here. Yeah it's a bad play. Yeah, that's
a bad place. You know what I want? Eight hundred
words on this on the thirty thirdeam.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Wait, have you just been sitting around watching boomerang. Is
there are these all the cartoons you're watching?
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Well, how about all the study d characters? Oh?
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Nice?
Speaker 4 (31:45):
What what do you do? What do you do with Alma?
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Well? The film is a coordinate. It's a dangerous question.
Film is the smartest one. She's a coordinator, Little Mike McDaniel.
Speaker 4 (31:56):
Mother or daughter? Yeah, Alva, Alva definitely. You know I'm
looking at another free.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Safety eight hundred words on this coming on thirty thirteen
by Jason Cole next week.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Next to Great Gazoo. Yeah, the Great Gazoo.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
And in the second dar now he's got an obsession
with Velma Bye. He goes, there's a lot of Velma's
on Friday night.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
That's who you think? Up first with Scooby doo is Velma?
Speaker 6 (32:20):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (32:20):
Turns out a bar in Baltimore. They were all dressed
as Velma. Wow, the sweater and the glasses.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Uh. Was any of them win? To Cardelini, No, Okay,
one might have passed if I was drunk enough. Time
out to find out what's trending From a guy who's
been called the Fred Hey Fred of Fox Sports Radio.
He likes to wear the he likes to wear the
blue ascot and he drives a van.
Speaker 6 (32:41):
It's it's the Scooby Doo Fred, not Fred Mertz from
is Love Lucy?
Speaker 1 (32:45):
No, I'll tell you it, Mert.
Speaker 6 (32:47):
You want to talk about William Frawley. Bill Frawley, by
the way, Bill Frawley huge baseball fan. He had it
written into his contract that if the Yankees made the
World Series every year, he had to be free to go.
So that caused great consternation because the filming of I
Love Lucy back in the day had to be delayed
(33:08):
because the Yankees would make the World Series every year
in the fifties.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
We have, didn't He and Vivian fans hate each other, absolutely.
Speaker 6 (33:15):
Hate each other, absolutely hated each other.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Here it is television history seventy five years strong.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Let's go and and wait a minute, as Berman would say,
and speaking of one uncle Charlie to another, Ah the
night for Blake Snell. Not quite what any three sons
would have had in story for the Dodgers.
Speaker 6 (33:35):
Yeah, I don't think Chris Berman could have even come
up with that baby.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
But even even William Demerist coming in from the bullpen
not enough for the Dodgers. Oh so true, so true.
Speaker 6 (33:45):
Boomer and Jason Smith because top of the eighth inn
in Game five of the World Series, it is now
five to one Toronto over the Dodgers. David Schneider and
Vladimir Guerrero Junior let off the game with back to
back home runs off of Snell. It's the first time
in the dred in five game history of the World
Series that a team is at back to back home
(34:05):
runs to lead off a game. Key k Hernandez homer
to left with one out on the third inning for
the Dodgers, but the Blue Jays got another run on
the top of the fourth and then the top of
the seventh inning was a total fiasco for the Dodgers.
Reliever at Guardo Henriquez came in with two runners on base,
Addison Barger scored on a wild pitch. Bobashet then singled
in Andres Jimenez. So the Dodgers in the top of
(34:28):
the seventh inning allowed two runs on two whits, with
two walks and three wild pitches. It was the first
time in World Series history that a team has thrown
three wild pitches in the same inning. Meanwhile, Toronto rookie
hurler Trey Yesavage twelve strikeouts in his seven inning stint
that was the most strikeouts ever by a rookie in
(34:49):
a World Series game. He allowed one run on two hits,
no walks. Again. The Blue Jays have just scored again
against the Dodger bullpen. They lead. It's six to one
over the Dodgers at the top of the eighth inning
in Game five of the World Series. Elsewhere, multiple outlets
report the Minnesota Twins hiring Derek Shelton as their new manager.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Guys, back to you, thanks Illo. Derek Shelton, who was
fired in May by the Pirates because they were so terrible.
He actually gets a better job. Minnesota's like, hey, let's
just not talk about this, Okay, let's not talk about it.
Went up in class. There you go. Coming up next,
we got to play the Day coming your way and
an absolutely insane story out of college football. You gotta hear.
(35:31):
That's next. Jason to Mike Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific, Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
The Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon. Well,
it is a big Blue Jay lead six to one.
Eighth inning. They are six outs away from taking a
three to two lead in the World Series. Well if
more in this game coming up in a few minutes,
But time now to bring you the play of the day.
Play the Day, of course, is brought to by tire
(36:05):
raq dot Com. They bring us all of the play
of the days forty years. Ti Rack's been helping customers
find the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
Shipped fast and free backed by free Road, has protection
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. Tire rack
dot Com is the way tire buying should be. Well,
when you close out the half in style and you're
(36:26):
sitting the break with eighteen points and nine assists, you
get to be the play of the day. He had
six on a shop. Rode Reeve gets the whistle. He
does that he as good as anybody in the entire NBA.
Lakers TV on the call, Austin Reeves eighteen and nine.
At halftime, the Lakers lead the t Wolves sixty two
(36:47):
fifty eight. Really the only good news going on in
Los Angeles right now sports wise, because wow, this World Series,
to quote Marv Albert, not exactly what the Dodgers had
in mind Ucas calling a time out. You got Maddie Gook,
he wants to talk it over nicely done.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
Yeah, you would eventually become part of that three man boots. Wait,
Bob big big as for Reeves eighteen and nine with
seven for seven from the fall on, that's fantastic. It
takes out your guy, Julius Randall. He's got twenty two
to lead the Wolves showing without Edwards who's got a
(37:26):
hamstring injury. But yeah, Austin Reeves, I do like the
cell Sell self. This is what we got. We got Reeves.
We don't have Luca right now, we don't have Lebron Sell.
So I mean he does it as well as anybody
in the league.
Speaker 4 (37:39):
I know.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
I don't think that's We've heard that kind of no time.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
So plaud it's and accolades from saying, hey, sell the
hell out of this guy.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
It's a lot more basketball coming up throughout the show tonight.
But this football story today, no matter, it doesn't matter
who your favorite team is, doesn't matter who you're root for,
it doesn't matter. But just to think that this actually
happens to a top level team in college football. Now
we know the big openings in college football, LSU, Florida,
Penn State. Right, But clearly LSU has had all the
(38:09):
drama with Brian Kelly getting fired earlier this week. Today,
Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry told reporters that the athletic director
Scott Woodward, right, So the guy does all the hiring
firing either runs the athletic program at LSU.
Speaker 4 (38:24):
Right.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
The governor of Louisiana told reporters that the ad won't
be involved in selecting LSU's new football coach, saying he
would let President Trump do it before he would let
Scott Woodward pick the new head coach at LSU. This
is the governor of the state, says, Okay, I understand
what everybody's Yeah, forget about all this other stuff happening.
(38:47):
There's a lot of important LSU football at the top.
We can't have games on situations like this. So I'm
gonna tell you that the school is not gonna have
any say in who hires the next head coach. Like
you said he And here's the thing, like I'm sure
he thought, I am striking a blow and I'm gonna
win over voters, you know, in Louisiana who may maybe undecibomic. Hey,
(39:11):
I care a lot about LSU football, but just for
a second, just think this is just what an absolute
clown show this is like. But just think about this
for a second. If you are a big time head
football coach, LSU seems like a pretty good job, right
because hey, all right, they paid Brian Kelly a lot
of money. But not only did did Landry say, listen,
the money is a thing. Why would you want this job?
(39:34):
Knowing that, oh, the governor, if he gets mad, can
jump in here and say, yeah, I'm gonna make decisions
on your future. Like what, There's a lot of coaches
out there who would love to come to LSU. I
don't know anyone that would want to go to LSU
after seeing this story today. I don't know one of them.
How big is a check? I might not be. You know,
it's not gonna be Brian Kelly big. You're not getting
that bigger check. You'll get a bigger check from Penn State.
(39:55):
You get a bigger check from Florida, you get a
bigger check from a lot of places. You're not getting
that big check from LSU.
Speaker 3 (39:59):
Not after that, it's that curiosity, right, I mean, you
want one of the big time jobs, you want to
be in a big conference, you go and you interview, right,
this might be your only chance this cycle to go
make the big splash because this ain't the end of it.
There's gonna be other coaches out on their ears. I mean,
we're seeing that new era of college football, the I
(40:20):
want it now microwave society as money flows and we
expand the playoffs and everything else. I mean, do you
get a dialect coach like you got from Brian Kelly.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
Which turned out to be like his highlight and his
worst moment at the same time. I mean, faking the accent, right,
it looked like it was this great night the pictures
and it turned out the end. Yeah, they didn't really
like him from that moment on, Like you torpedoed yourself
the opening night, like when they were introducing you as
a head coach, because I'm gonna give you this, and
(40:52):
we talked about him faking the accent. What a big
deal that was. Now it turns out, oh no, no,
people didn't really like that.
Speaker 3 (40:57):
No one behind the scenes, Like there's a lot of
story where he's came to light, Like we go back
all the way to his time at Notre Dame. But
in terms of this coaching higher, yeah, I mean, if
you're a guy looking for that job, or you know,
we talk about good Old America's interim coach circling that
was potentially looking for a job. He raised his hands
(41:18):
and I'll go back right. So at Orgeron is more
than willing to drive tomorrow. But yeah, if the price
is right, and again, you got so many only so
many of these jobs come open in a given year.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
And you can go someplace else. There's lots from now.
And you go something about worrying that wealth. The governor
doesn't like me, he's gonna fire me.
Speaker 3 (41:38):
Well, and your first win against the top ten team
would keep you at Penn State forever.
Speaker 1 (41:44):

what and where they drive. Shipped fast and free backed
by free Road, has a protection with convenient installation options
like mobile tire installation tirerac dot com. He is the
way tire buying should be well. This week, we jump
right in again, Game five of the World Series, top
(01:02):
of the seventh inning and it's the Blue Jays with
a three to one lead over the Dodgers. Back to
back home runs by Schneider and Vled Junior to lead
the game off sacrifice fly after a Tioskar Hernandez misplay
had been the three runs for Toronto, Keike Hernandez home
run the only run of the game for the Dodgers.
(01:22):
Treya Savage has struck out seventy four men tonight. Seems
like it first rookie since nineteen forty nine to strike
out more than ten batters in the World Series. Go
back to Don Neukom the last time this happened in
the World Series. Look, this is it is. It's stunning. Yeah,
(01:45):
But as you watch these games and you see the
Dodgers suddenly off everything, the Dodger all the money, everything else.
The first thing, because there's a lot of takes on
this right now, the first one is that overall, if
you're watching both of these teams, the dog like a
team that's running out of gas very quickly, like the
the the Pinnacle with the Freddie Freeman walk off. They
(02:08):
have just kind of slept walked their way through the
last couple of games so far into the bottom of
the seventh inning. It's not like this Blue Jays pitching
staff as lights out right. They didn't have to bring
in their closer last night. They have to. They have not.
The Dodgers just have not been hitting. They change the
lineup tonight, Dave Roberts is trying to do something, dropping
Mookie Betts down, moving up Will Smith, benching Andy pa
(02:31):
Has and it's just not where they just they look
like a team that that's running out of gas all
at once. They don't really have a lot of jump.
They don't have a lot of Hey, we're gonna stick
with it. I don't you don't see the big fun
and togetherness and the celebration like they just look like
it's it's shocking them. Maybe they're shocked. The Blue Jays
didn't roll over after the big Game three. They thought, hey,
(02:52):
we're gonna show up in Game four and we're gonna
waltz our way to a win. But they really if
you hear the phrase in sports, out of gas a lot,
that's what it looks like the Dodgers are right now.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Yeah, absolutely no juice and lifeless at the plate. We've
talked about it and their continued struggles, hitting just a
shade above two hundred for the series. Coming into tonight's game,
all the shuffling up did nothing right. First innings, I like, okay,
very quickly, you're down to doffing. As you got the
stat from from Ilo seven hundred and five games, and
(03:25):
that's the first time that's ever happened. So you know,
as I always say, if you're gonna go down, well
fail spectacularly.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
So that that was it.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Two huge mistakes from from Snell to start a ball.
The first the home run sales before anybody's even sat down,
and then Guerrero follows it up. You know that guy
again launches one. But the first inning just hitting Mookie
Betts comes up. It's like, all right, he's third, maybe
this will make him feel better whatever that he'll go no.
(03:55):
Three pitches, he's down on strikes. That begins a run
for you, Savage. That now through six innings he's just
been masterful, right with the one mistake to Keiky Hernandez,
and there's no answer. There's short at bats, Guys are
reaching and swinging at pretty much everything. No plate discipline,
and you're not gonna change.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Now you are. And look, and that's the thing is
that you want to know why the Blue Jays are
winning and the Dodgers are losing, right, it's because they
are easy. They do that is good magic. Johnson would
know that now, he absolutely will. He might have tweeted
that out today tonight, the Magic Johnson Twitter game goes global,
and if you after what happened today, now the Magic
Johnson Twitter game, we're absolutely playing that like five times tonight.
(04:35):
But you see the difference in the Dodgers and the
Blue Jays when it comes to their offensive philosophies. The
Dodgers are a team that sits around and waits for
something to happen, and the Blue Jays have gone out
and made stuff happen. Right, just go just just use
this game as as a as a as a jumping
off point. Right. There's no grinding out of at bats
(04:57):
by the Dodgers. There's no hey, if if we get
a leadoff walk, let's try to get one, let's choice
the offense. There's none of that. It's just let's just
hope we get hits and bunches. Right. That's kind of
way the Dodgers are. They're not built to be a
team where, hey, they're scrappy one through nine and they're
gonna find a way to put runs on the board
because they're gonna run the pitch total up. They're gonna
do X, Y and Z like you. Savage is still
(05:17):
in the seventh inning and he's dominant right, Like the
these have been bad at bats by the Dodgers, they
sit around and wait for something to happen. Meanwhile, look
at the Blue Jays. You know they come into this saying,
you know what, Blake Snell's gonna try to get that
fastball over early in the count. Let's go hunt that fastball.
Might have his fastball, Let's go hunt velocity location in
game one. So came right back here and Schneider jumped
(05:40):
on the first bit. Let's go hunt that fastball. First
pitch fastball, home run, third pitch fastball home run. Okay, Blake,
you're not just gonna throw it fast ball over the
plate and they're gonna they're gonna sit back. And you
knew coming in this was that let's go get it
because we know in that first inning he's gonna try
to just Hey, I'm gonna throw that middle of the
plate fastball to try to get the first pitch over
(06:01):
the plate. Let's go hunt it. And they hunted that
fastball that had another big hit in the inning as well.
Blake Snell is able to get out of the inning
after I think seven different reviews of plays of a
stolen basee and a bet, but that you could tell
here's Toronto with an absolute aggressive attitude of let's go
after it, and the Dodgers more passive attitude. Since Freddie
(06:23):
Freeman's home run, it's been that this should have been
the series should have been over. You would think after
that the Dodge would a game like that, eighteen innings,
we're up, We got Otani going to the next game
like this should be over. And it's stunning that we're
at the point where the Dodger are nine outs away
from going back to Toronto. Where is it gonna be
one game, two games for the Blue Jays win the
World Series? Like this is where we're at right now.
(06:44):
But you can see that one team clearly it's not
about wanting it more. It's just this is a strategy
that's working. And for the Dodgers, like you need somebody
to just grab them around, just grab them by the
shoulder and say, hey, got this is unacceptable man. This
will not say you need the dude to walk in
and go this.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
We will not stand.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
This.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Lack of aggression will not stand instead of aggressives, you lack.
This lack of aggression will not stay. But the Dodgers
don't have a guy like that, right, the Blue Jays do.
And Vlad Guerrero Junior, Right, he's that guy that grabs
him and says, no, it's not over, let's go do this.
Like I'm embarrassed for the Dodgers right now that here
they are three innings away from going back down three
to two after winning Game three with the Freddie Freeman
(07:24):
walk off in the eighteen thing that should have been
lights out. It should have been We're coming to park
the next day. We are throwing the hammer down and
we're gonna win this thing tonight. We're gonna win this
in three games. We're gonna try to win in three games.
Just make Game five a party and instead look at
where they are.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Yeah, salty was how you describe Freddie Freeman as he
was talking about where they're at, Uh, calling out on
himself and the rest of the team going, hey, it
can't be all show. Heo Tani, Right, it's not a
one man band out here, and he can't hit a
nine run home run. Like that's just not the way
baseball works. It could be if we could adopt those
(07:58):
rock and jock rules that you do up all those
years ago. But you know, look, at Schneider on the
other side. He changes up the lineup. Lucas led off
in Game four. This time it goes to Davis Schneider,
who looks like he's straight out of Central Casting.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
He looks like he's from the seventies. That he looks
like he looked so many MLB players from the seventies,
is what he looks. Go get him.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Go find yourself a set of nineteen seventy nine or
nineteen eighty Tops baseball cards and just slowly go through them.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
You will find guys who look exactly like Tim Foley's
a good pull. Tim Foley's a very good pole.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
With the add the pillbox hat and the way you
got what about Matt fully Matt motivational speaker. Yes, did
not have a mustache. Uh, he had a little coat.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
You go a little bit of I was just thinking
of somebody else that jumped through my head and passed
out of it. Johnny Walking fusts a little bit man.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
John, Yeah, go back to the backstop for those Tigers
teams late seventies, early eighties, great stratomatic player.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
That was a hell of a team to run with,
you know, and look, and this is when when We've
talked about this, and it's it's important to bring this
up because these are big through storylines. Look, the Dodger
starting pitching hasn't been terrible. No, right, it's not. And
that's the thing. From the from the NLCS to now,
the starting pitching was just so good. It covered up
all the ills. The Dodgers didn't really hit, right, it
(09:17):
covered up they covered up.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
We would have brought it up, and we did, but
it was an ancillary story to look at Yamamoto, look
at this.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Yeah, it's I mean, it's you didn't it because hey,
you're gonna But what did I say? The Dodger remind
me the twenty fifteen mets where they were. They're pitching
in the NLCS against the Cubs. Oh my goodness, this lineup,
and they just went through Harvey and cinder Garden, Matts
and de Gram and a good luck and then you
get to the World Series you get a bounce, right.
I think I said the word bounce like nine thousand
times the last ten days. But it's true. We're not
(09:47):
even talking about basketball and and so coming in I
you know, I said, look, it's not like the Dodgers
all of a sudden gonna forget how to pitch, but
you're not gonna have that dominant run and you better hit. Now.
You look at the game so far in this year,
Yama Moto absolutely dominant, right, absolutely dominant. Blake Snell wasn't
wasn't great in Game one, Shoeo Tani not bad right
(10:10):
left with the two. You know, he allowed two runs
out did have two one. They both wound up scoring
because the Dodger's bullpen is terrible. But Otani didn't pitch badly, right.
Tyler Glastow didn't pitch badly. He was done in by
a really bad error by Tommy. He had been led
to a four running but they wound up winning that.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
He made a really bad pitch that sailed up he
did he did. If you make that play, you're out
of the year with no runs. So it's not like
the Dodger pitching and not not like I thought the
Dodge pitcher was suddenly gonna implode. But they weren't going
to pitch as well as they did in the NLCS.
And but the but the flip side was okay, you
know they're gonna hit, right, They're gonna hit at some
point and they just have not. And it's not like
(10:45):
the Blue Jays have come in here with the staff
are going. Man, it's Steve and Dave Stewart, and then
in the end of the game it's Hanky and and
and Mike Timlin and boy, we're we're really throwing the
hell out of the ball.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Man.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
The Wan Guzman is is pitching really well. Dude starts.
I saw Wan Goozlin Syracuse. I mean, really, this is
not this kind of lineup that's come in here. This
is you Savage who has started five games in the
postseason and three games in the regular season. I don't
quite think he's to read school yet, but he kind
of looks that way. But that's what's been killing the dog.
(11:17):
I mean, they're hitting like across the board. It's just
they've just not been playing at a Dodgers level. And
and I don't know that they absolutely have the wherewithal
of the or the time where someone's gonna step up
and say, Okay, this is done, get on my back.
I can do this. Flat Junior is that guy with
the Blue Jays. He has said, get on my back.
(11:37):
Let's go. Okay, Hey, Flat Junior is doing He's gonna
continue to hit home runs. Okay, that's what we're doing,
but the Dodgers don't have that. It's it's all of
these things are happening all at once, and you can
debate what the most serious of them all is. But
you know, the bounce and starting pitching, the approach hitting,
the difference between them and the and the Blue Jays,
that all gets you to where we sit right now,
(11:58):
with the Blue Jays threatening Blake Snell coming out of
the game, now in the seventh inning, Dodger bullpen getting involved,
so yay, Dodger bullpen. That's why it all comes back
to why we are we are right now.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
First and third, two out does the first playoff start
away from Toronto? For you, Savage, the only time he
was truly dominant was going back to start against the Yankees,
and there he only went five and five and a third,
but at eleven strikeouts right overwhelmed them. They eventually win
the game thirteen to seven. But you look at the
(12:29):
way he's gone going at it today and approaches and
everything else. It's the you know, the Blue Jays will
hit the opposite way they like. We keep watching the
Dodgers trying to swing for the fence like you're not
getting it all back, and you know it's okay to
play station to station now and again, and Toronto defensively
(12:50):
has been better play for play over the course of
this series. Now, the third run goes back to a
fly ball, ta oscar is instead of saying, hey, I'll
let it bounce in front of me, hold him to
a single, kind of got caught in between, did a slide,
the ball rolls to the walls. So you got a
guy on third. Okay, that's it, there's your run. It
(13:14):
was destined to score, but Blake Snell leaves with runners on.
But had pitched pretty well outside of those first two mistakes.
And as we talked about a lot yesterday and have
throughout this series, it becomes the you can't play thinking
your guy's gonna throw shut out ball, right, You've got
to figure out a way to manufacture runs. We've had
(13:35):
a couple of instances of balls coming inside.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
You know what.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
I know, you don't have the Barry Bonds armor on,
but you guys need base runners. You need something to
upset the apple cart. Force this guy to pitch from
the stretch, maybe get a little bit of something going.
I know, a lot's been made here locally Los Angeles
of getting you know, the fans and they're on there,
they're sitting on their hands. I don't know how much
(13:59):
that juice that gives a player. I mean, that's an
individualized thing. But certainly when you can hear crickets, that's
not good. When the only noise is de to rule
in between innings, that's not a good thing.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Exit out about a fresca exit swollen down the Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmon Enriquez in
for the Dodgers, and he's now a high leverage guy
because well, his last outing was good, so he's high leverage. Well,
and there's other guys you ain't trusted. Back out of
the mouth. We'll climb his next and then it's Sasaki.
Those are your guys, man. So three to one Toronto
(14:34):
with the lead over the Dodgers, two outs, top of
the seventh, runners at first and third. Will keep you

Things have not gotten any better for the Dodgers in
the last five minutes. Now a five to one lead.
(16:08):
The Blue Jays lead it now after a wild pitch
Boba Schett with a single to right field, bases loaded,
two outs. The Blue Jays up five to one as
they continue to bat in the top of the seventh inning.
So we'll keep you updated on this game here where
things should be getting away from the Dodgers pretty fast
as we get to one of our favorites in the
(16:29):
history of.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
The world, go Azex dudes.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
All right, longtime friend of the show, Haul a very
good voter. Check him out to the thirty third team
on Twitter at Jason Cole sixty two.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
Jordan loves how easy Now.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
I gonna ask you, Jay Cole, if I asked you
this a week ago, you'd give me a different answer.
But better offense right now? The Dodgers tonight or the Jets.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
You know, I was thinking about this today with the Jets,
and so with the Jets, when you win a game
and you have the next week off like a bye week,
is that sort of like the modern version of the
Jets winning the Super Bowl?
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Yeah, it's like the off season, we get back at it.
We start again next.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Week because you get to enjoy a victory for two
weeks rather than just one.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Yeah, it's awesome. We hang it back.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
There's a ceremony better whatever your often some better right
now as a per last week than ours. Okay, but
we're the World Series and you guys haven't blading your
lifetime in a super Bowl. I'm done. That's it.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Bye. He had a good run as Jason Cole. The
shortest visit ever from Jason Cole. Well, you can tell
is salty that the Dodgers are losing five to one
in the well.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
The worst part about this is my wife is a
Giants fan, and she's texting me throughout this game, every
time they the every time the Blue Jays course.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Just letting you know, hey, do you see that wild pitch?
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (18:08):
I was like, yeah, she's like a little baseball emoji.
She said, you know something something to ridly kill me.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
No, I gotta be honest with you here because I remember,
like when when my wife and I had this conversation.
She went to Michigan, right, and so me going to Syracuse. Yeah,
like we have rivals like Penn State's are rival Mammy's
and reports like, yeah, but I said, if we had
met in college or right out of college and I
had gone to Ohio State, could we have gotten together?
And she says, oh, no way, never, Never would have happened,
(18:38):
Never would have happened.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
My favorite is Drew Henson having to play his home
Triple A games in Columbus and getting booed in Columbus.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
I can't believe you and your wife are married being
Dodgers and Giants fans like, how does that? I can't
believe that works.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
It's because I'm so charming.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Oh okay, Oh that's what it is. Yeah, oh okay,
Like the Dodgers superstars are also likable. Jason Cole is likable.
Oh okay, that's that's that.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
Okay, Yeah, that's what I project. I project likability. Okay,
all right, So what do we got here?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Hey, maybe the LSU governor will make you the next
head coach of the LSU football team. That could happen,
just them, He'll let you know.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Yeah, as long as I'm willing to do it on
the cheap and do it according to metrics or whatever
he's talking about. Why are politicians games? All the things
that they know absolutely zero about I mean like next
to nothing. I mean not even next to nothing, absolutely nothing.
My favorite was like the taxpayers of the great state
of Louisiana are not going to put up with having
(19:45):
for this. It's like, dude, now, if you flight department
is a corporation, it exists on its own, it receives
no public funding, it doesn't receive taxpayer money. You're just
lying straight up about what it is. I mean, it's
just such an incredible political scam and effort. I mean,
(20:06):
and not that the athletic director has done any great
job right of of you know, Hiront coach and Brian
Kelly with a fifty three million dollar payoffs. You know,
there's there should be some significant questions, but this is
not what the what the governor of the State of
Louisiana should be bothering himself with. I'm you know, like
(20:27):
go back, go back, plown out to you know, like
you know, trying to improve education and one of the
worst and most corrupt states in the country.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Well that in LSU football, those are there's your biggest
things right there.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
I mean, you know, you got RDI Gras and LSU football.
All they got that's all they got, you know, and
the Superdom. And because look at the Saints, I mean, Tyler.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Tyler Shuck era is happening, and they said today he's
going to start all season. You wait, Tyler Shuck's like
Jackson Dart.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
What's the point, what's the point of this? What's the point?
What's the point here? What are we doing here? What
are we doing with the Saints? Shouldn't they be relegator
or something like that? They shouldn't they be playing in
the A C C or something like that?
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Yes, Saints and the Jets and the Raiders. Yes, send
those three down.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Yeah, hay, wouldn't Well, the NFL be so great with relegation.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
You bring up Ohio State Indiana, right, I was thinking
of bringing over tuned teams named the Rough Riders from
the Yeah. Yeah, well you know, I know you got
that's tough though, CFL. That's now I think people you
want to.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
See you then you have to cooperate with Canadians more,
and we already have problems with them right in the world.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Yeah, it is very difficult. Yes, So now so now
you go there, so you bring up those teas. Hey,
it looks like Ohio State Indiana there.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
What I was did you imagine have the cowboysver facing relegated?
Speaker 1 (22:02):
I built this league.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
There would be no teams in Los Angeles if it
wasn't for me, Jerry Jones, you know that is I
mean that would be fun?
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Yeah, yeah, oh, that would be that would be delicious.
That I would pay money just to have a camera
on Jerry the entire game as they faced relegation there
had it? Don't even watch? And could we do it
side by sides like the split screen you show the
(22:32):
play on one side and you sewed Jerry on the other.
And the possibility of relegation that, I mean, that's genius
right there. That's what we're here for.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
All of that.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
I think you see The thing about it is you
could do it with the Jets. But would he would
not understand what relegation is.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
He spent a lot of time in London. He was
a really good owner except for the winning.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
This last week, Ambassador Johnson was over there and still
didn't figure it out. That's the biggest problem. Yeah, he
went over there and what's this relegation thing? I don't
get it? All right? What what now?
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Look, I'm actually for the first time one of the
first times I'm gonna give a little bit of Hey,
you got to give Jerry Jones credit for something, right,
because as much as he's been, as bad as it's
been for him to try to build the Cowboys into
winners and they went from a super Bowl team to
where they are now. Like they generally don't have horrible
seasons or horrible trends or horrible you know, multiple seasons
(23:30):
in a row. Like once in a while, like once
every ten years they'll have a four and twelve or
six and ten, but generally every year, like, hey, they're
they're in it right. Sometimes I'm in along. Sometimes they're
ten to eleven win teams. Sometimes they're eight win teams.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
You know. Yeah, I mean the Dave Campbo We are
on a side, right, Like they got out of the
Dave Campbo thing and they get to ourselves and then
they figured out, just ride this thing out. It'll be
okay year after year, and yeah, you can, you can
stay relevant. You can still sell hope and tickets because
let's face the Cowboys fans have got to be the
(24:05):
dumbest fans in the world, Like they really do like
to have this to be able to do this year
after year after year, and keep buying tickets and swag
for a team that you know is just trying to
get by, but really, like you know that they're not
really trying to win. They're just trying to win enough
to keep you salivating.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Yeah, talking about the Steelers that way. Yeah, but you
know what, look, Cowboy bling does look pretty good, man.
The colors look great and stuff they put out like you,
you get some pretty sharp gear Cowboys gear. Man, it
does look really good. Okay, the Cowboys beat.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Well.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
And the best part is that Jerry has a carve
out in the collective bargain agreement that he keeps its
keep all of his merch money. So there it works
even better.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
It worked for him even better.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
And now he's got the uh extra one hundred billion
dollars of natural gas or whatever's going on. Jason Cole
our guest thirty three thirty third Team. You find him Amazon,
plenty of books that he has authored. Holidays are coming
so good, gift ideas certainly there and at Jason Cole
sixty two where you find him on Twitter. Hall of
(25:20):
Fame voter joins us each and every week. All right,
Trade deadlines coming up kirk Cousin says, I'd really like
to go somewhere to start.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
His audition was terrible.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Are we expecting more fireworks at the trade deadline here?
Speaker 1 (25:34):
It was terrible.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
He was awful. He didn't have Drake London, but that's
no excuse.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
I mean, no, he was he was futured. I mean
they lost. They lost at home to a garbage Dolphins team.
So yeah, like just just said there and what the
money here? Just just take just take the cash. Don't
suit up for somebody else because you're just you're you're
going to ruin and already mediocre legacy you are.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Don't ruin that mediocre late. He's a great business man.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
Yeah, you know, what are the Bengals gonna do with Hendrickson?
Where are we with a couple of pass rushers? The
Dolphins should have? Should have the Dolphins cast a couple
of these guys out already.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Seems like a Chan and those guys should all be gone, right.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
Maybe not a Chan, that's that's the gay. You have
them under control for relatively cheap, but the Jal adults
kid certainly him Chubb. Yeah, like there's some guys there
who should be I know some of these guys are
banged up a little bit, but they should be cashing.
They should be cashing some of these guys. They definitely
should be cashing some of these casts.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
All right, So now let's let's let's let's finish here.
We take a look at tomorrow. Right, We got TNF,
We got Lamar Jackson's return. He we found out he
was the one that said take out the cornhole boards
and the pink ping pong tables everything else. Did the
Ravens still have a path to the playoffs here? Or
is every just whistling through the graveyard.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
I just, I was on Baltimore Station earlier this week,
and I just, I mean, I said it with you
guys after week two. I don't believe in this defense.
So maybe they can outscore everybody, and that's fine. And
you know, the you know, the the cornhole stuff in
the video games. You know that's great, but you know,
they were playing that stuff when they were winning before, right, Like,
(27:34):
it didn't seem to have a negative effect on of
you know, when they were really really good. You know
what's having a negative effect on them is that Zach
Orr doesn't seem to know how to coach a defense
is the problem when you're a defensive coordinator. I just
don't I don't see it from this team this year.
(27:55):
And I'm I'm baffled by them, I really am. I
I'm baffled that John Harbaugh would let things get to
this level. And again, you know, I know, Wink Martindale
unlike his his uh his namesake on the game shows,
it's a little difficult to get along with. But wouldn't
(28:16):
you have figured out a way to make it work
with Martindale to have brought him back somewhere along the
line so that you would have had a better defense,
or go and get somebody else who can do this,
because this is this is untenable. This is the worst.
This is the worst Ravens defense since what nineteen ninety eight?
Speaker 1 (28:41):
I mean, think about that before ray Lewis.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
How far back we're talking about We're talking about year
three of ray Lewis, right, he was wrapped in ninety
He's wrapped in ninety six, and you know, they were
starting to build something, but you know, they were still
kind of meandering around trying to figure out where they
were really good. And then they got Adams and Sarahgusas,
so that you know, basically Adams and Sarahgusa could just
(29:06):
pave the way for Ray to just dominate. And then yeah,
they had some of the other guys like Bowlwear and
Robertnette come along too, and they got they got the
corner starts. So yeah, they ended up pretty fabulous collection
of talent eventually. But this is the least aggressive team
(29:27):
I've seen on defense for the Ravens since then. And
even then they might not be as aggressive as that teamly,
and that was some those some pretty media for stuff
back then. So I don't really see the path, and
I don't think the path includes you know, you know,
(29:48):
the swearing of video games or corn hole or even
if you brought Cornholio to play on defense for them.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Hey, that's the great Cornholio. I am the great Cornholio.
I am the great Cornolio.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
If you had the great Cornjolio play defense, what position
would you play? Uh?
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Oh, middle linebacker? I mean you'd have to, I mean
you have to you have to say.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
Is any more of a of a defensive tackle? Oh?
Speaker 1 (30:17):
I don't know, because you want to be able to
stand up after the play and put his jersey over
his head and say that after a but if.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
You had like the Great Kazoo, to me is a
free safety.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
No question. He has dumb dumb right after the court.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
Yeah, that that to me is And what are you know,
fred Swinstone, you know, really a space either Barney is
kind of I mean Barney rebel is definitely Zach Thomas. Okay,
so we know we know that, right.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
I don't know about that front. But he's not going
to like that front. I don't know, Bob blit's your
quarterback front. I can't get there front.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
Speed racer. Speed racer would be your run end playing
on the open side because he really not great in traffic.
Just put it that way. But race for er is
you're the big spot that you put anywhere because nobody's
quite sure what he's doing. He's always kind of working there,
but you're not sure exactly what he's about to do.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
And and Moutley would be on the sideline laughing when
something goes wrong, and he would let he would laugh
and point here. Yeah it's a bad play. Yeah, that's
a bad place. You know what I want? Eight hundred
words on this on the thirty thirdeam.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Wait, have you just been sitting around watching boomerang. Is
there are these all the cartoons you're watching?
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Well, how about all the study d characters? Oh?
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Nice?
Speaker 4 (31:45):
What what do you do? What do you do with Alma?
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Well? The film is a coordinate. It's a dangerous question.
Film is the smartest one. She's a coordinator, Little Mike McDaniel.
Speaker 4 (31:56):
Mother or daughter? Yeah, Alva, Alva definitely. You know I'm
looking at another free.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Safety eight hundred words on this coming on thirty thirteen
by Jason Cole next week.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Next to Great Gazoo. Yeah, the Great Gazoo.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
And in the second dar now he's got an obsession
with Velma Bye. He goes, there's a lot of Velma's
on Friday night.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
That's who you think? Up first with Scooby doo is Velma?
Speaker 6 (32:20):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (32:20):
Turns out a bar in Baltimore. They were all dressed
as Velma. Wow, the sweater and the glasses.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Uh. Was any of them win? To Cardelini, No, Okay,
one might have passed if I was drunk enough. Time
out to find out what's trending From a guy who's
been called the Fred Hey Fred of Fox Sports Radio.
He likes to wear the he likes to wear the
blue ascot and he drives a van.
Speaker 6 (32:41):
It's it's the Scooby Doo Fred, not Fred Mertz from
is Love Lucy?
Speaker 1 (32:45):
No, I'll tell you it, Mert.
Speaker 6 (32:47):
You want to talk about William Frawley. Bill Frawley, by
the way, Bill Frawley huge baseball fan. He had it
written into his contract that if the Yankees made the
World Series every year, he had to be free to go.
So that caused great consternation because the filming of I
Love Lucy back in the day had to be delayed
(33:08):
because the Yankees would make the World Series every year
in the fifties.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
We have, didn't He and Vivian fans hate each other, absolutely.
Speaker 6 (33:15):
Hate each other, absolutely hated each other.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Here it is television history seventy five years strong.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Let's go and and wait a minute, as Berman would say,
and speaking of one uncle Charlie to another, Ah the
night for Blake Snell. Not quite what any three sons
would have had in story for the Dodgers.
Speaker 6 (33:35):
Yeah, I don't think Chris Berman could have even come
up with that baby.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
But even even William Demerist coming in from the bullpen
not enough for the Dodgers. Oh so true, so true.
Speaker 6 (33:45):
Boomer and Jason Smith because top of the eighth inn
in Game five of the World Series, it is now
five to one Toronto over the Dodgers. David Schneider and
Vladimir Guerrero Junior let off the game with back to
back home runs off of Snell. It's the first time
in the dred in five game history of the World
Series that a team is at back to back home
(34:05):
runs to lead off a game. Key k Hernandez homer
to left with one out on the third inning for
the Dodgers, but the Blue Jays got another run on
the top of the fourth and then the top of
the seventh inning was a total fiasco for the Dodgers.
Reliever at Guardo Henriquez came in with two runners on base,
Addison Barger scored on a wild pitch. Bobashet then singled
in Andres Jimenez. So the Dodgers in the top of
(34:28):
the seventh inning allowed two runs on two whits, with
two walks and three wild pitches. It was the first
time in World Series history that a team has thrown
three wild pitches in the same inning. Meanwhile, Toronto rookie
hurler Trey Yesavage twelve strikeouts in his seven inning stint
that was the most strikeouts ever by a rookie in
(34:49):
a World Series game. He allowed one run on two hits,
no walks. Again. The Blue Jays have just scored again
against the Dodger bullpen. They lead. It's six to one
over the Dodgers at the top of the eighth inning
in Game five of the World Series. Elsewhere, multiple outlets
report the Minnesota Twins hiring Derek Shelton as their new manager.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Guys, back to you, thanks Illo. Derek Shelton, who was
fired in May by the Pirates because they were so terrible.
He actually gets a better job. Minnesota's like, hey, let's
just not talk about this, Okay, let's not talk about it.
Went up in class. There you go. Coming up next,
we got to play the Day coming your way and
an absolutely insane story out of college football. You gotta hear.
(35:31):
That's next. Jason to Mike Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific, Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
The Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon. Well,
it is a big Blue Jay lead six to one.
Eighth inning. They are six outs away from taking a
three to two lead in the World Series. Well if
more in this game coming up in a few minutes,
But time now to bring you the play of the day.
Play the Day, of course, is brought to by tire
(36:05):
raq dot Com. They bring us all of the play
of the days forty years. Ti Rack's been helping customers
find the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
Shipped fast and free backed by free Road, has protection
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. Tire rack
dot Com is the way tire buying should be. Well,
when you close out the half in style and you're
(36:26):
sitting the break with eighteen points and nine assists, you
get to be the play of the day. He had
six on a shop. Rode Reeve gets the whistle. He
does that he as good as anybody in the entire NBA.
Lakers TV on the call, Austin Reeves eighteen and nine.
At halftime, the Lakers lead the t Wolves sixty two
(36:47):
fifty eight. Really the only good news going on in
Los Angeles right now sports wise, because wow, this World Series,
to quote Marv Albert, not exactly what the Dodgers had
in mind Ucas calling a time out. You got Maddie Gook,
he wants to talk it over nicely done.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
Yeah, you would eventually become part of that three man boots. Wait,
Bob big big as for Reeves eighteen and nine with
seven for seven from the fall on, that's fantastic. It
takes out your guy, Julius Randall. He's got twenty two
to lead the Wolves showing without Edwards who's got a
(37:26):
hamstring injury. But yeah, Austin Reeves, I do like the
cell Sell self. This is what we got. We got Reeves.
We don't have Luca right now, we don't have Lebron Sell.
So I mean he does it as well as anybody
in the league.
Speaker 4 (37:39):
I know.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
I don't think that's We've heard that kind of no time.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
So plaud it's and accolades from saying, hey, sell the
hell out of this guy.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
It's a lot more basketball coming up throughout the show tonight.
But this football story today, no matter, it doesn't matter
who your favorite team is, doesn't matter who you're root for,
it doesn't matter. But just to think that this actually
happens to a top level team in college football. Now
we know the big openings in college football, LSU, Florida,
Penn State. Right, But clearly LSU has had all the
(38:09):
drama with Brian Kelly getting fired earlier this week. Today,
Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry told reporters that the athletic director
Scott Woodward, right, So the guy does all the hiring
firing either runs the athletic program at LSU.
Speaker 4 (38:24):
Right.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
The governor of Louisiana told reporters that the ad won't
be involved in selecting LSU's new football coach, saying he
would let President Trump do it before he would let
Scott Woodward pick the new head coach at LSU. This
is the governor of the state, says, Okay, I understand
what everybody's Yeah, forget about all this other stuff happening.
(38:47):
There's a lot of important LSU football at the top.
We can't have games on situations like this. So I'm
gonna tell you that the school is not gonna have
any say in who hires the next head coach. Like
you said he And here's the thing, like I'm sure
he thought, I am striking a blow and I'm gonna
win over voters, you know, in Louisiana who may maybe undecibomic. Hey,
(39:11):
I care a lot about LSU football, but just for
a second, just think this is just what an absolute
clown show this is like. But just think about this
for a second. If you are a big time head
football coach, LSU seems like a pretty good job, right
because hey, all right, they paid Brian Kelly a lot
of money. But not only did did Landry say, listen,
the money is a thing. Why would you want this job?
(39:34):
Knowing that, oh, the governor, if he gets mad, can
jump in here and say, yeah, I'm gonna make decisions
on your future. Like what, There's a lot of coaches
out there who would love to come to LSU. I
don't know anyone that would want to go to LSU
after seeing this story today. I don't know one of them.
How big is a check? I might not be. You know,
it's not gonna be Brian Kelly big. You're not getting
that bigger check. You'll get a bigger check from Penn State.
(39:55):
You get a bigger check from Florida, you get a
bigger check from a lot of places. You're not getting
that big check from LSU.
Speaker 3 (39:59):
Not after that, it's that curiosity, right, I mean, you
want one of the big time jobs, you want to
be in a big conference, you go and you interview, right,
this might be your only chance this cycle to go
make the big splash because this ain't the end of it.
There's gonna be other coaches out on their ears. I mean,
we're seeing that new era of college football, the I
(40:20):
want it now microwave society as money flows and we
expand the playoffs and everything else. I mean, do you
get a dialect coach like you got from Brian Kelly.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
Which turned out to be like his highlight and his
worst moment at the same time. I mean, faking the accent, right,
it looked like it was this great night the pictures
and it turned out the end. Yeah, they didn't really
like him from that moment on, Like you torpedoed yourself
the opening night, like when they were introducing you as
a head coach, because I'm gonna give you this, and
(40:52):
we talked about him faking the accent. What a big
deal that was. Now it turns out, oh no, no,
people didn't really like that.
Speaker 3 (40:57):
No one behind the scenes, Like there's a lot of
story where he's came to light, Like we go back
all the way to his time at Notre Dame. But
in terms of this coaching higher, yeah, I mean, if
you're a guy looking for that job, or you know,
we talk about good Old America's interim coach circling that
was potentially looking for a job. He raised his hands
(41:18):
and I'll go back right. So at Orgeron is more
than willing to drive tomorrow. But yeah, if the price
is right, and again, you got so many only so
many of these jobs come open in a given year.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
And you can go someplace else. There's lots from now.
And you go something about worrying that wealth. The governor
doesn't like me, he's gonna fire me.
Speaker 3 (41:38):
Well, and your first win against the top ten team
would keep you at Penn State forever.
Speaker 1 (41:44):
Exit out about a Fresca exit, swollen dumb, Jason Smith,
Mike Harmon coming up next. More from Pivotal Game five
of the World Series, and other big stuff out of
college football,
