(00:28):
Greetings and welcome inside. Happy Wednesday. So far the Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon, Live live
from the tierrack dot Com studios tirect dot com.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
I hope you get there.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
An unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection,
over ten thousand recommended installers. Tireraq dot com is the
way tire buying should be. Well, here we are right now.
I'm nervous as hell. Yeah this you know, here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Okay, take the take the wheel for a where hour?
I got some thoughts.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Where we sit right now? Both baseball games happening right now.
Atlanta gets on the board again. A home run by
Celaire cuts the Padre lead to five to two. As
the Braves are still batting in the top of the
fifth inning. Meanwhile, Mets and the Brewers. Mets have a
three to two lead over Milwaukee. They have a runner
on first and one out as they bat in the
(01:23):
top of the eighth inning. Both the Padres and the
Mets going for the kill shot here tonight and to
move on to the NLDS. And I'll tell you what
you know. For all the talk that Rob Manford gets
about all you care about is pace and play, all
he cares about is pace and play. He said that right, Oh,
you can't pay the play pays them, have that pays
of play. No, I'm glad the games are moving a
(01:44):
little bit brisker because this is too much sports stress.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Like I can't imagine.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Oh man, I have to wait even longer between pitches,
between innings, between at bats.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
It's just I can't. I can't.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
At least you know there's a way where, all right,
at least we move the game along a little bit.
So my stress. I have like thirty five to forty
minutes lets of stress because of a game going on
at one time where I could have had it just
wear it out and just we're gonna we're gonna build
this out, and the batters keep stepping out of.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
The box, and I just keep going, come on, man,
come on.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
No.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
So I'm all on board with the pace of play
because of that.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
No, I think there's some positivity to be had with
it when you start thinking about what you're also doing
for the health of American baseball fans, because stress eating,
stress drinking goes out the window for that forty minutes.
Like you say, so, it's you know, maybe an extra
you know, frosty beverage or two. Maybe it's an extra
plate of I don't know, fried this, that or the
(02:40):
other that they're not consuming. No, it's bad for the economy,
but good for our health.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Yeah, because really you think about, hey, this is just
taking away stress from you. This is like something that
a self help guru will tell you.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Hey, watch baseball, why the games are a lot less long?
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Or don't watch baseball altogether is what they would say.
The other, which is just catastrophic. Don't like you know
what does this hurt you? Yeah, stop doing it?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Don't watch October baseball did not because you know, you
think about with the way that baseball had been and look,
when you say baseball playoffs, I think the average person
defaults to Yankees Red Sox games that go like four
and a half hours, right, like, that's a oh yeah
those games. It would start like the pack after darky
oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Yeah games.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
It would start at seven thirty and end at midnight, right,
Like it would be crazy, be insane.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
All right, that's what everybody defaults to.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
But now it's okay, Like because in all this is
baseball is caught up with all the other sports where
you know you're going through stress. But okay, you know
what you know, there's not a bunch of time you
know in between plays. You know in the NFL, like
there's you know, no one steps out of the batters
box gets back to him. Now, if you're nervous about football,
you get the action, right, you get a two and
a half three minute commercial break. We're coming back. We
got action right away. You get thirty seconds between plays.
(03:52):
Same thing with the NBA. Yes, there's time as we
get back on the floor, we play it. Uh, there's
not a lot of time to just build up that stress.
So you get it for a few minutes, and it's okay.
I'm like, all right, I'm okay with the stress for
a few minutes. But baseball is just no, We're gonna
fray your absolute last nerve every single pitch this postseason.
(04:12):
Every pitch you're gonna see it.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Well, every at bat you know, is at a premium.
We talked about it a lot last night, right, the
the difference in playoff at bats and rolling through right now,
I'm you know, as it stands, we're gonna have four sweeps.
That kind of sucks, but you know it's onto the
next series, onto the next round. For the Padres, you
got another hit from another home run out of Higashioka,
(04:38):
so you know you could stend those Yankee texts again
to your dad. So you got that going for you.
But yeah, the stress level you're feeling right now, This
is why you know losing one hundred and twenty one
games is not the worst of things, yea, because I
know I'm no worse off than Houston and Baltimore fans
right now. Oh I don't know about that, I you
Oh no, no, Well, you know, for the Astros, maybe
(05:01):
they can say, well, you know what, we had a
good run. Right. You talk about all the you know,
al title runs, you talk about the World Series appearances,
you talk about the cheating and maybe this is it.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Yeah, but buddy, years from now, ten years from now,
no one's gonna say, oh, remember when the Astros lost
and the and the Royals won in the first round
of the of the Three. No, but they're all gonna
go oh man, I fully remember when the White Sox
lost one hundred and twenty one games.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
I remember that.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
What though they can't hurt me anymore. The one hundred
and twenty one, as they happened, were like me getting
punched in the face by insert either your favorite wrestler,
give me an Andre the Giant Giants smashed to the
face or you know, Mike Tyson pugilistic barrage. I mean,
you could do that if you want. But otherwise, you know,
(05:50):
it's it's over. Like the hundred twe like they might
do it again. I mean, they're gonna be bad again
next year, so we might be having the same conversation.
But it goes into the distance past. You know, for
teams that were on potentially dynastic runs, they get salty
because they ended. For a team like the Orioles back
to back years in the playoffs, another early exit, they're
(06:13):
gonna be lamenting the dynastic opportunities that maybe never come.
You know, see Cincinnati Bengals here.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Now and you say, hey, okay, oh well right now
we're seeing fort sweeps. Thanks a lot because you're a jerk.
Oh we're gonna see four sweeps. How much fun is that?
Jackson Chorio just leads off the bottom of the eighth inning.
I didn't throw home run the right field. It's your fault.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
You said, oh, we're gonna see fort sweeps. O, dude,
Ford sweeps. How do you look Ford sweeps? Sat Jason,
you look Ford sweeps.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yeah. Twenty seconds after you said that, Chorio hits a
home run. So now the Mets and the Brewers are
tied at three. As the Brewers bat in the bottom
of the eighth thing, I.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Mean that guy can't even legally drink yet. I mean
they're gonna have the little onesie ready for yeah in
the post.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Well, so now we got everybody. Now we got more
of it because it's your fault, and I will.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
We're gonna get Ford sweeps.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Man, We're can for sweet, leave the ball up in
the zone. The guy who's been hitting the ball game
about this good?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
You know what, I don't see anything that could go
wrong for the Bears. Now the Bears are great. They're
gonna win every game. Caleb Williams is a Hall of Famer.
There's nothing that could go wrong.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Now, Hey, yo, how about that? Now you're like hurt you?
Speaker 3 (07:22):
You like that?
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Buddy, I'm getting even with you. I'm not getting even
with you there, not getting even with you. I'm getting even.
So what I said, like for a time getting even.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
H But hey, anybody want to give him a hug?
Where's Betty yet? Have Betty give you a while?
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Brewers fans are happy right now? And then another single?
So now the Brewers have a runner at first with
nobody out in the eighth inning. This game has not
been trending well for the Mets. They've left so many
runners in scoring position, getting them there with nobody out.
Not This is not the Mets team from a night
night ago. This game has been treadsed.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Brewers have been.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Reeling them in and now here they are, nobody out,
go ahead run at first base as they bat in
the eighth inning. Now, as happy as Brewers fans are,
there is one group of fans who are the happiest
fans in the world, and it's a one to eighty
from last night. Why because of these two results from
earlier ten.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Round ball shot in a second Keith pull, charge field
and clip.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Tigers win. They're moving on.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
They win three to one in Game one and shut
down the astros powerful offense. A four run rally in
Game two and a five to two win. Oh my goodness,
the Tigers are aheaded to Cleveland.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
One ball, two strikes, had a swing and a miss
in the Royals, they're going to attach. So there was
Tigers Royals Radio Networks on the call. The Orioles and
the Astros go home. They get swept in the first
round of the playoffs. A couple of really close games,
like we watched the Tigers late inning heroics despite the
(08:53):
fact they haven't had a hit since August seventeenth. They
wind up getting a big hit today in the eighth inning.
But make no mistake about it, the happiest people in
the world right now are the Yankees, because the Yankees,
whenever it gets to the playoffs, a lot of the Yankees,
it's all in their heads. It's all about matchups. It's
all about what they see in their way. And the
(09:13):
two teams that one are the worst matchups for the Yankees.
The Astros and the Orioles are both out of the playoffs.
Like that was a series where, Hey, these teams are
gonna have the Yankees number, the way the Orioles played
them during the season, way they've played in the last
few years, the way the Astros have played the Yankees.
But now you're talking about Okay, we got it. We're
looking at the teams in our way. Now we're Detroit,
(09:35):
Kansas City, and Cleveland. Uh okay, wow, we feel really
good about that. If the Yankees don't go to the
World Series, I don't know when they're gonna go. If
they don't go this year, I don't know when they're
gonna go. Because these are teams in their way where
the Royals and the Tigers deal with them today, Right,
the Guardians are really good, but they still have that
series to play against the Tigers. But you look at
the teams that won that knocked out the Astros and
(09:55):
and and knocked out the Orioles. Today, is that the
Tigers are really really limited, Right, so are the Royals.
The Royals aren't great. The Royals now they are real.
There are good teams, are both really good teams.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Right, They're gretty.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
They're well, gritty is a fun thing to be, right, gretted.
No one wants to No one wants to be Hey,
we're a bunch of superstars. We're great, we're feeling good.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Yeah, ros everybody.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Wants to be gritty. And the Tigers are embracing gritty.
But the Tigers are severely limited and the Royals are
a limited team as well. And when you play a
limited team in a longer series, it evens out and
the and the needle goes back to the big favorites.
So now you have a little bit longer series with
the Yankees now against the Royals. I fully expect them
to win here. And hey, Tigers and and the and
(10:35):
the Guardians the big rivalry there. Yes, the Guardians should
wind up winning, right, they were terrific this year. But
the Yankees have to say, hey, our two toughest opponents
that we could potentially have to play to go through
are gone, Like they know this, this has got to
be it. And obviously the pressure gets ratchet up. But
but the Yankees have to say, this is our world Series,
this is here for us. If we if we don't
(10:57):
win this year, I don't know when we're gonna go.
I really, if they don't get there this year, when
can you say, Hey, here's the Yankees filling out their roster,
do anything they can go. Right now, the way things
stand in the American League, the Yankees should be in
the World Series.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Yeah, I mean we talked yesterday about a lot of
the composition of the squads coming forward and again battle
tested by you know, beating up on the White Sox
were the Royals and Tigers over the course of the
regular season. So you have that going for you. You know,
Now we get a lot of shots of the Pine
(11:31):
Tar game, right, We're we're gonna get that probably shoved
down our throats nine thousand times over the next week.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Oh no, and Brett and George Brett's home run off
of Gossage. Oh yeah, oh yeah, we're gonna that one.
I got no homework for a week in school because
of that?
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Is that?
Speaker 5 (11:45):
Right?
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
You want a great story? Okay, so how about that
great story?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
So Royals Yankees, Right, they're gonna be playing in the Alds.
They played an incredible series in nineteen eighty. I'm going
back forty I'm going back when I was in fifth
grade and of.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Course growing up.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
I we have your music, everybody, Oh yeah, yeah, Tytuit
got my music. I'm not music for this because we're
going about going back to nineteen eighty so fifth grade,
and I'm the big Mets fan, right and all my everybody's.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
A Yankee fan, right, A Yankees, Yankees, Yankees, Yankees, right.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
The World Series in seventy seven, seventy eight, Yankees, Yankees, Yankees,
and I can't stand the Yankees, right. And George Brett
was my favorite player because he was my favorite player
because the Mets had no good ones because they traded
away Tom sever so Brett was my favorite player. And
they're playing the Yankees. And missus Pinito, who was my
fifth grade teacher, we would talk about this in this series,
(12:33):
you know, coming up series. And she said to me, okay,
mister smarty pants Mets fan. And I said, okay, miss Pinito,
I said, what she goes, Let's make a bet. And
I said all right, And she goes, if the Royals
beat the Yankees tonight, deciding game Game five, they beat
the Yankees tonight, you get no homework for a week.
I said, okay, she goes, but if they lose, you
(12:53):
get double the homework, and all the kids are going, oo,
so yeah, I'll take that, Yeah, yeah, no, sure, okay,
And I'm like, oh my god, what am I doing?
What am I doing?
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Right?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
So because because the whole everybody, I'm wearing my I
wear my Mets hat all the time, Yankee and every
She was a huge Yankees fan. And in the eighth
inning of this game, Goose goatsha just pitching, and the
and the and the Royals are losing three to two,
and George Brett hits a home run into the far
upper deck in Yankee Stadium to give the Royals a
(13:28):
five to three lead, and the game is over right,
and it's over and the Royals. The Royals win, And
I vividly remember two things. Jim Palmer, who was announcing
the game, going, there's no way that pitch is ninety
eight miles an hour. George Brett's not gonna hit a
pitch like that ninety miles hour that fint I. And
then the next day, coming into school, like she didn't
even want to tell that, TJ. You want to talk
to me, She was like, yes, just don't say anything.
(13:50):
No homework for a week. But but but no, no
homework for a week does so, she told so, I
got no homework, but she.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Didn't let me.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
I couldn't even I couldn't even enjoy it.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Old peak cocky enjoyed it all.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Don't say anything because everybody was upset because the Yankees
got knocked out of the playoffs?
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Did you start asking all sorts of questions about American history,
just randomly about George Washington?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
So what I'd like to know is when you cross
the Delaware to get to places like New York or
Yankee Stadium, what happens? Like, you know, when was Kansas
City settled? Miss Pinino? Can you tell me when was
when Kansas though? So again, that's a much better story
to relive than what I just saw in front of
me five seconds ago. The Mets now trail five to three.
(14:29):
Another home run, this time with the runner aboard, has
given the Brewers a five to three lead. As they
continue to bat, let's go in the bottom of the
eighth inning, Mitchell with a drive this dead center field.
It goes about four hundred feet, and now the Mets
are going to go to the ninth inning, final out
of the inning, trailing five to three, and now we're
(14:50):
looking at game three tomorrow because the Mets couldn't convert
on runners in scoring p visition with nobody out, and
here we go. The bullpen finally gets it gets and
gives up two home runs in the eighth inning. Blurg,
that's all I'm gonna say, just blurg, That's all I
got for You.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Leave it up in the zone once again. But had
plenty of opportunities, as you laid out right, there were
plenty of opportunities to put this game away, and now
comes down to a final like bat So want to
know what happened to Pete Alonzo early in the game
when he never got out of the batter's box.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Oh, man, Peter Alonzo, you talk.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
He is hitting free agency like I would hit a
buffet full of vegetables. That's that's how he's going into
free agency.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Man, he's like four for his last stumbling.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Really he is like he is like four for his
last forty. It is just oh man, it's difficult.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
It's yeah. He hits the ground ball and kick it
out of the box and they moved the camera up.
A's like the hell's Pete Alonso and he's already taken
his protective gear off.
Speaker 1 (15:50):

Speaker 3 (16:41):
Notice show, wasn't your best friend on this comeback?
Speaker 5 (16:44):
No?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Because you put it out though. We're gonna go two
sweeps and now the Mets have to play Game three
because of you. Because of you, everything was fine served
up two two things fall because of me I'll blame too.
I'll blame two people. I'll blame you and Phil Matten,
who gave up both of those home runs.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Yes, it is over now.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
In Milwaukee, the Brewers hit two home runs on the
bottom of the eighth inning to turn a three to
two deficit into a five to three lead. They beat
the Mets five to three, and now San Diego leads
Atlanta five to three. Is Atlanta bats in the top
of the sixth inning, Padres win tonight. They end the
first round series. But we get baseball tomorrow guaranteed. And
I'll tell you what. No team that's lost the first
(17:24):
game of a three game series has won the series yet.
And I'll tell you what. Milwaukee's gonna win. I feel
I feel awful about the Mets. Froo terrible for the Mets.
I think sever is pitching the severe sever than Kuzman probably,
and then then maybe Gooden Darling.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Maybe out of that we bring back the young nineteen
sixty nine fireballing Nolan Ryan while we're at it.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
I think he can still throw about eighty was it
with their video of him recently?
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Yes, still throw like eighty miles an hour.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
He or whatever the hell he used to endorse, and
then all of a sudden he's out there amongst bales
of hay, just chucking the ball like he was back
on the hill.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Look, but I'll tell you this, Yes, two big home
runs for the Brewers. This game was lost when the
Mets couldn't get runs across when they had runners in
scoring position with three times they had runners in scoring
position with nobody out. And what do I always say?
Nobody turns runners in scoring position with nobody out into
no runs like the Mets. And they they had, they
had the Brewers on the ropes. They were up three
(18:21):
to one in this game, and they just allowed the
Brewers to hang around. And it always happens, right when
you don't finish and you let teams hang around, they
build momentum. They were more desperate, and you saw what
we got tonight. And I have no idea what they're
gonna do pitching tomorrow, I really, I know. I know
David Peterson has been their best pitcher the last two months.
May pitch a little bit, but who knows, Like I
(18:43):
don't know how much he's gonna be able to go
because he had to pitch on short rests Canadi him
on Sunday, like, I have no idea, really, I mean
a receiver Kuzman, Gentry Goodin of Sid Fernandez, Steve Traxel.
I mean, they're gonna be a lot of I really,
I don't know what's gonna happen. That the Brewers have
all the momentum and everything going into tomorrow because the Mets,
(19:05):
I don't know what they're.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Gonna do pitching wise.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
The only flip side for the Brewers is the Brewers
the last two days have really exhausted their bullpen because
they've had to.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Right.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
They exhausted their bullpenning Game one. They exhausted their bullpenning
Game two, and this, yeah, and this and this is
and he was pitching again just like last night.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
He was.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
He had one rough inning and then he started pitching
great and he was throwing some filthy splitters. Man, I'm going, oh,
Mant has figured out. Nope, not gonna leave him in
to face the Mets the third time. We're gonna bring
in relievers. And it worked out tonight for the For
the Brewers, they repeated the same mistake as last night,
but it worked out tonight because the Mets didn't let
him off the hook and they wound up winning the game.
But now you have yours. All your high leverage relievers
(19:44):
are cooked. Because now it's gonna be three days in
a row. You're gonna need him tomorrow. What are they
gonna have left after that? That's the one thing I
I cling to with the Mets is that, hey, the
bullpen was able to hold on to them tonight. But
now you're talking about all these guys are gonna go tomorrow,
All these high leverage guys I've pitched.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Now it's gonna be three days in a row. And
that's a thing.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
You get Tobias Myers on the hill tomorrow, nine and six.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Tobias on the Hill. Really I thought he was just
in the crown. Wow, I can do everything.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
His last outing was against the Mets, four shutout innings
in a six nothing win. So we'll watch that. But
I mean a lot of guys on base and it's
just the one timely hit that didn't come two of
eleven runners in scoring position tonight. But yeah, the Brewers
are showed through the bullpen. I mean, it's got shades
of what Joe Madden did years ago when the every
(20:31):
night we're watching the Cubs in the plais going what
the hell, And it's just every night he gets right.
And we've seen that happen, right, every every decision that
you're scratching your head, it's like, okay, this worked. And
then you go into the post game and they'd ask
him and he's like, well, and he really never had
a good answer for any of it. But at least
for two nights, that's what we've gotten here from the Brewers.
(20:54):
So we'll see how the rubber match goes as we
get to Game three.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Sorry, buddy, that's all right, but you know, look I
saw kid and give up.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
The home run though. Yeah, and then they added insult
to injury and what was a very very fast ninth inning.
You know, let's get up there and get hacking away.
They even got the dugout interview with Garrett Mitchell.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
On yeah, yeah, hey, we gotta get this going. He said, yes,
let's do it because the game's gonna be over soon.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Oh okay, let's go.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Let's go.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
First ball swinging a pop up to the catcher.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Come on, man, you know, and I will say, just
really quick before we get to the Dvante Adams last
up and on Vanta Adams is that no, And it's
hard to second guess because things were going well.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Is how the Mets have done. It's what happened. Least.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
I was a little surprised top of the order in
the eighth inning it wasn't Edwin DZ. I was a
little surprised in that high leverage situation, it was not
Daz coming in and Madden to come in in the
ninth and probably it was Hey, Matt and will pitch
and then if if if he gets a little bit
of trouble, then Diaz will come in. But I was
a little surprised, high leverage, top of the eighth inning,
top of the order, that we didn't get ds for
(22:00):
that moment.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
I was a little surprised, Hey, I'd be using him
for every pitch he's got left. Let's go finish the job.

The day after Davante Adams says he wants to get traded,
and we now know what's going to happen, right.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
We know it's gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Because the Raiders have said we're open, we want a
second round pick in a little more Davante Adams said, yes,
I want to get traded. Everybody's on the same page, right,
Antonio Pierce spoke today. We'll hear from a little bit
later onto the show, and everything is fine. He's going
to be held out of the game already this weekend
with his hamstring injury, so Adams is not going to play.
(22:49):
But we got a little bit of a curve ball
today because Adams, through sources, has let it be known
that his two preferred destinations, surprise, surprise, the Jets and
the Saints. I could go back, play with Aaron Rodgers.
I'll play with my buddy Derek Carr. Those are the
two places he wants to go.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Now.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
I told you last night, the Jets are not gonna
get out bid, right. They're they're too desperate. They have
put everything in on this season and jobs are at stake,
and they don't want to have to deal with Aaron Rodgers.
Can you imagine what that's gonna be if they don't
get DeVante Adams, and what it's gonna be like around
one Jets drive, the season will just fall apart at
the seams. It's gonna it will be absolutely awful. But
(23:28):
let me let me zag where you think I'm gonna
zig here. Honestly, the Saints need him more. The Saints
need DeVante Adams a little bit more, because you know,
I'm old enough to remember two weeks ago when it
was the Saints are the greatest team in the world.
Look how good the Saints are. Oh my god, they
beat the Panthers. They're the worst team in the NFL.
Oh they beat the Cowboys. Looks like the Cowboys thing too. Ah,
(23:49):
but look at they're so good. They're so fast, pre
stat motion and all this stuff. Look at the sound.
Look at the Saints.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Look at this saying yeah, what happened? Yeah, what happened.
By the last two.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Weeks, all the Saints have come back to earth. Sometimes
starts are just starts, right like when everybody wanted to
go crazy for the Saints and the Cardinals the beginning
of the season. Yeah, yeah, okay, it's a couple of games.
It just so happens to be in the beginning of
the season. If these teams won these games in the
week seven Week eight, we say, wow, well, look at
(24:18):
the Saints blow out the Cowboys like that after they
beat the Panthers. Whoa Okay, But because we're talking about
the beginning of the season and it's the only two games, Yeah,
look at the Saints. Look out great there, Well, now
you see the Saints have issues?
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Right?
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Did Saints have issues offensively? Defensively? It was an awful
game last week. They didn't allow an offensive touchdown, they
still lost. They need more firepower, right, they need something,
and DeVante Adams would be a great get for them
because they're looking at it at an offense where hey,
we have a couple of wet look a Lave is
really really good and Shahita is really good. But you
(24:50):
bring in Davonte Adams and that flips everything going back
to a guy that he loved getting the football from,
who has been very comfortable in the offense. We're able
to slide right in. The Saints on need him a
little bit more because the Jets defense is a lot better.
The Jets already have really good playmakers. They have three
good wide receivers, they have a great quarterback. But while
both teams need him, the Saints need him a little
(25:12):
bit more for where they sit right now. The division
is still there for them a little bit. You've seen
some of the some of what they're capable of earlier
in the season. But as far as which team would
needs him a little bit more, I think the Saint
team a little bit more.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Who were you counting as the Jets good wide receivers.
I just want to make sure Mike Williams, Mike Williams
is good.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
He's playing pretty well.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
And Alan z Ard is catching every pass now because
you know, Aaron Rodgers doesn't throw to Garrett Wilson anymore.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
He just spos Alan Lazard all the time.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Yeah, they have a mind meld. I mean, and look,
familiarity is a beautiful thing, you know. I'm reminded, you know,
just thinking about this DeVante Adams situation, and it comes
down to the inevitability of here's the two guys I've
caught passes from. I like them, I know them. My grandmother,
my late grandmother, and my dad's mom. She always had
this saying, I don't need friends, I got family. Don
(26:00):
Da Adams is that guy right now. You go to
a million other places where you might be able to win,
and the odds of racing to a conference title game,
maybe to the super Bowl are much higher. Nope, I
want to go play with my friends. We got that gun.
By the way, Mike Williams, I want to be with
my buddies. We have the same language, we know each other.
(26:23):
He still has a bunch of my CDs.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Jimmy came to call for me. I'm gonna go out. Okay, great,
I'll be out, be on for dinner, okay, great, see it.
We're gonna go play stickball, all.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
Right, get home when the lights go on. All right,
that's what we're talking about. But yeah, I mean Alave Wilson, Okay,
wash Shaheed big time over the top. And then the
running back she got uh Kamara on one side, Bryce
hall and and Braylen Allen on the other. The advantage
Jets overall, I think on the running back side. And
(26:53):
then Blizzard. We talked about it before the season ever began,
that he would become the go to guy. You'd love
to be able to buy enough time so that Garrett
Wilson can use, you know, his type of athleticism because
he's not a post up guy. He's not a guy
that's gonna fight and then do the things that you know,
the dirty work necessarily. I'm not saying he can't pile
(27:16):
up some receptions, but you know what makes him special
is you give him a little time to operate, to
find space and blow pass corners downfield. Now, he hasn't
had any gifts the last couple of weeks. He's played
arguably two of the what top five cornerbacks in the game.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
He's had the toughest start to a season for any
wide receiver. First four weeks, he's had the toughest. He's
gone up against the highest graded cornerbacks the first four
weeks of the season of anybody in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Yeah, I mean you look at Gonzales and certain just
the last two weeks. I mean, that's that's that's a
recipe for disaster. And if your offensive line can't hold
up that, it's even worse. But yeah, I think now
it's just the the battle. I like your the cut
of your jib with the with the Saints, But Dennis
Allen was like Robert Salagh guy where people were just going,
(28:07):
you know, it's inevitable. The Fano snap is coming for him.
Just if it happens with the Jets, it's far more far, wide,
far and wide reaching in terms of things falling apart.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
Now.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
I wish you could go magically find you know, some
guy like Jason Peters that just wants to go put
your Jets uniform on and go stand up on the
offensive line. I think that that's a bigger need in
DeVonta Adams. But I'm still gonna say he's a bigger
need for the Jets because otherwise it melts down and
we have no idea how the quarterback response. Derek Carr
is just gonna block people on Twitter.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
How do you how do you expect to turn things around?
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Deck?
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Well, I'm gonna start blocking people, oh like on running plays. No, No,
I'm being on Twitter, on social media. I'm be in
a right frame of mind. I'll get my accent back. Yeah,
I'll be more Southern than it's ever been before. That's
how I'm gonna improve. So nothing on the field. No,
I just told you I'm gonna do Southern accents back
blocking people on Twitter.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Hey, we've seen it work for coaches. We saw it
work for him for a little spell. We've seen it
work for politicians. Depending on where they are, they pick
up accents and affectations to their cadence. So, hey, Derek Carr,
why are you slipping back? What happened? It's like, you know,
some of the some actors when they get into interview,
(29:19):
it's like, wait, are you really from England? Because you
really sounded like you were from the South side of
Chicago right there? Are you just playing? We don't know,
we don't know what's a better story, but yeah, I
think your Jets needed.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
More exit out about a Fresco exit swollen Dome. The
Jason smithsho with Mike Carmon live from the tirec dot
Com Studios. If you thought you weren't gonna get any
work out of me in the eighth, the ninth innings
of the Mets Brewers game, we're getting absolutely nothing out
of the guy we're gonna talk to right now because
his padres are three innings away from the playoffs. He
doesn't even know what the final scores of games are.
(29:53):
He doesn't been playing today, he has no idea. He's
just gonna sit here and say sports sports, sports guys,
back to you.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
It's Brian Finley with what's freending.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
Jason and Mikey would only be fitting that I started
out this update bringing something to you from the Mets
Brewers game fly ball right field.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
It is deep, it is gone. We are tied in
the eighth sitting on the second homer of the night
from Jackson Curio.
Speaker 5 (30:24):
Yeah, and you mentioned Jason that eighth inning, which is
sort of a puke job there for the Mets, who
had a three to two lead going hidden and then
they gave up three runs in the eighth. There was
also the two run home run from Garrett Mitchell by
way of a pinch hit. He got in there and
made it happen. Five to three the final score in
that game two and a wild card best of three matchups.
(30:45):
So we're going to a game three, a winner take all,
and it's going to be eight thirty Eastern in Milwaukee tomorrow,
this after the Mets failing to get the job done
by way.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Of a sweep.
Speaker 5 (30:56):
Speaking of the Padres, yeah, they're closing in on a
sweep and I'm not here to jinks them, but they
are in front five to two against the Braves, and
those five runs scored for San Diego all came in
the second inning, and since then they've just given up
that one home run from Jorge Solayer.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
In the fifth.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
The Padres have held the Braves are just four hits
in this game.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
San Diego won Game one in this NL wild Card matchup.
Speaker 5 (31:23):
A game two win tonight would take them to the
NLDS to take on the La Dodgers. And then, lastly,
guys from earlier we saw the Orioles. They are knocked
out after losing a Game two two to one against
the Royals. So a sweep two losses at home for
the Orioles, they're done in the postseason. The Royals advance,
(31:43):
they're going to take on the Yankees, and a win
for the Tigers as they sweep the Astros.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Five to two in that Game two.
Speaker 5 (31:51):
So on to the Alds go the Detroit Tigers where
they will face off against the Guardians the Cleveland Guardians
with the ald starting on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
With that, let's get it back.
Speaker 5 (32:03):
To Mike Harmon, whose team certainly did not make the postseason.
The Chicago White Sox into Jason Smith, who's getting a
little bit more nervous now that a Game three is
being forced with his Mets.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Joe Germaine has not played in the NFL in a
long time. All that, I'm not nervous anymore. The game's over,
Games over. We lost, now, just pissed, nervous for Game
three coming up. You guys might just lose, of course. Yes,
well no, well I wouldn't say I'm nervous. As a
Mets fan and Mets fans, we just accept that the
worst thing is always going to happen. So like, oh,
(32:38):
I'm not nervous we're going to lose. I'm fully expecting
the Mets to lose because that's kind.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Of how it works for us.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
So you kind of like torture winning as a bonus. Yeah,
I wouldn't be a Mets fan if I didn't like torture.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
A long time. Jumped on the Yankees.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
When I was nine years old, but a Yankee fan,
I'd like the Yankees and the Giants, and I had
Super Bowls and World Series and the best sports life ever.
The fact I still like sports and you look at
my teams, they're like, wow, man, this guy really does
love sports.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
Night loves the underdog story.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
His teams are the Mets and the Jets.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Wow, the Jets are looking good right now. Thank you,
Brian Finley, you go back and watch the game. Coming
up next, we got a big story out of the NFL.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
No team has.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Fallen from Super Bowl favorite to also ran wondering if
anybody's gonna get fired and guys are gonna lose their
jobs faster than this team in the last couple of months.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Who is it? We'll tell you next right here, Jason
and Mike Fox Sports Radio.

Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best friend
Mike Harmon live from the ti rack dot Com Studios.
Padres lead the Braves five to two going to the
bottom of the seventh inning. Padres get out of the
top of the seventh. They are six outs away from
the NLD as to the date with the Dodgers. We'll
(34:03):
have more baseball coming up. But it really, it really
shocks me. And not a lot shocks me because I
you know, doing sports every day for a living, we
see stuff, oh my gosh, yeah, and then we get
over it. But the fall of the Dolphins has been
(34:23):
staggering and there's really no reason for it. Over the
course of the last eight games, right we've watched since
December of last year, the Dolphins were everything that was
new about the NFL. They were Mike McDaniel, he's the
next great head coach of the great offensive system. Everything
is fast, everything is a track meet. Their offense is unstoppable.
(34:47):
They were playing at such an unbelievably high level. And
then December came and then went home in the playoffs
and the off season. Instead of hey, how do we
take the next step that the the area around the
team was, Hey, this is one of those get by years.
We really take a try to take a leap next year.
What the hell are you talking about? Like you were
(35:09):
fantastic for the first three quarters of the season and
now suddenly, what do you mean you're talking about next year?
And the Dolphins kind of stayed status quo and now
here they are beginning of this season doesn't start out great.
To a tongue of I Lois sustains another concussion, You
don't know when he's gonna play anymore. And then you
get Tyreek Hill today, who has had to put out
a statement saying I'm committed to staying with the Dolphins. Yes,
(35:31):
there's some frustration. There was video and reports of him
yelling and calling out some things he was upset about
on the sideline with the team. Hey, it happens, guys
get mad. But Tyreek Hill had to put out a
statement saying, no, I'm committed here. I want to retire here.
All of these things, Mike, this is eight games. This
(35:51):
is over a course of eight games. No team has
fallen further than the Dolphins, and there's really no reason
for it. Like the way that Dolphins should be was
okay coming off of last year, Wow, look how good
we were. We need to make a couple of moves
to sustain this. We definitely want to get the playoff
games at home. We're a warm weather team. Nothing we
could do about that. But hey, we're excited in the offseason,
(36:13):
And instead it was, hey, well we got to move
some things around.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
We're not really gonna sign anybody.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
What do you mean we talking about then the beginning
of the season with two Tonguel Vailoa, Hey, the reaction
should be, hey, we want to get him back. It's
a big deal, but we're good enough going forward, and
instead it's like that's been the excuse for everything to
just fall apart. And I don't know why the Dolphins
have fallen so far so fast.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
They shouldn't.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
They should be dealing with a quarterback injury and the
health of Tua and what he wants to do for
himself and his family going forward. That's a big thing.
But it's almost like once the calendar hit December of
last year, everything turned into, well, we gone as far
as we can, We're done. This is not a team
at the end of a run where we got all
these guys to pay. They're all thirty years old. They're
(36:55):
not the forty nine ers who have a bunch of
guys making fifteen million dollars a year. This was, Hey,
we're the next young group in the NFL. Tyreek hill
Re does his contract, A chan is all young and
a rookie deal. Hey we got what we have some
really good guy We got some dudes on this team.
And instead it's almost been like an accepted spiral, like
once they started looting, once they lost a little bit
in December and lost a playoff game.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
With the Chiefs, and was, Okay, I don't know what
this is gonna be. Now we're a mess.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
It's unlike like they've accepted being a mess for and
it doesn't make any sense why.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
I mean, you got you got a number of guys injured.
I mean every team's got got a few, there's no
question about it. But Jalen Phillips now lost for the
year again, Bradley Chubb's been hurt. Odell Beckham junior not
there whatever he is at this point. Obviously he's not
a one, but depth a wide receiver never hurt, I mean,
which is why we're talking about, let's trade number threes
(37:44):
on teams two to the Jets or or some of
these other would be contenders. H not just Devanta Adams,
Jordan Poyer not playing, David Long hurt, Isaiah Win, Tarreon
Armstead's been unavailable on the offensive line, which is as
you've seen, you know, you don't blow holes open. You
don't have the downfield passing threat that you had with Tua.
Guess what a chan just a guy. Moster hasn't been
(38:07):
available all season long, right, the rookie right drafted him.
He's gonna be well. He's banged up, so injury's certainly
playing a role in it. But a little bit of
the McDaniel's a genius and can make it all spin.
His kind of fallen off to the wayside here without
every one of those toys in the cover. Because you
still have Tyreek Hill, and you still have Jalen Waddle
(38:30):
and the aforementioned e Chand who last year averaged a
first down, it seemed per carry. Now. Interestingly, with the
anytime touchdown odds for Tyreek Hill this week plus three
point thirty, he's never been more than two to one
on any game that Tua was available, So Oddsmaker's lengthening
(38:52):
that said, yeah, prove it to us here. So yeah,
it's a difficult spot, and it looked like the division
was still there to at least battle right because everybody
hated Buffalo. I gotta jump off that bad wagon. That's
not gonna work. Folks reluctantly either were on or off
the Jets. There was really you know, you picked a
side and then everybody assumed New England would be bad
(39:14):
so you'd have opportunity. But through four weeks, yeah, an
unmitigated disaster exit.

An unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection,
over ten thousand recommended installers. Tireraq dot com is the

I'm nervous as hell. Yeah this you know, here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Okay, take the take the wheel for a where hour?
I got some thoughts.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Where we sit right now? Both baseball games happening right now.
Atlanta gets on the board again. A home run by
Celaire cuts the Padre lead to five to two. As
the Braves are still batting in the top of the
fifth inning. Meanwhile, Mets and the Brewers. Mets have a
three to two lead over Milwaukee. They have a runner
on first and one out as they bat in the
(01:23):
top of the eighth inning. Both the Padres and the
Mets going for the kill shot here tonight and to
move on to the NLDS. And I'll tell you what
you know. For all the talk that Rob Manford gets
about all you care about is pace and play, all
he cares about is pace and play. He said that right, Oh,
you can't pay the play pays them, have that pays
of play. No, I'm glad the games are moving a
(01:44):
little bit brisker because this is too much sports stress.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Like I can't imagine.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Oh man, I have to wait even longer between pitches,
between innings, between at bats.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
It's just I can't. I can't.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
At least you know there's a way where, all right,
at least we move the game along a little bit.
So my stress. I have like thirty five to forty
minutes lets of stress because of a game going on
at one time where I could have had it just
wear it out and just we're gonna we're gonna build
this out, and the batters keep stepping out of.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
The box, and I just keep going, come on, man,
come on.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
No.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
So I'm all on board with the pace of play
because of that.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
No, I think there's some positivity to be had with
it when you start thinking about what you're also doing
for the health of American baseball fans, because stress eating,
stress drinking goes out the window for that forty minutes.
Like you say, so, it's you know, maybe an extra
you know, frosty beverage or two. Maybe it's an extra
plate of I don't know, fried this, that or the
(02:40):
other that they're not consuming. No, it's bad for the economy,
but good for our health.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Yeah, because really you think about, hey, this is just
taking away stress from you. This is like something that
a self help guru will tell you.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Hey, watch baseball, why the games are a lot less long?
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Or don't watch baseball altogether is what they would say.
The other, which is just catastrophic. Don't like you know
what does this hurt you? Yeah, stop doing it?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Don't watch October baseball did not because you know, you
think about with the way that baseball had been and look,
when you say baseball playoffs, I think the average person
defaults to Yankees Red Sox games that go like four
and a half hours, right, like, that's a oh yeah
those games. It would start like the pack after darky
oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Yeah games.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
It would start at seven thirty and end at midnight, right,
Like it would be crazy, be insane.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
All right, that's what everybody defaults to.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
But now it's okay, Like because in all this is
baseball is caught up with all the other sports where
you know you're going through stress. But okay, you know
what you know, there's not a bunch of time you
know in between plays. You know in the NFL, like
there's you know, no one steps out of the batters
box gets back to him. Now, if you're nervous about football,
you get the action, right, you get a two and
a half three minute commercial break. We're coming back. We
got action right away. You get thirty seconds between plays.
(03:52):
Same thing with the NBA. Yes, there's time as we
get back on the floor, we play it. Uh, there's
not a lot of time to just build up that stress.
So you get it for a few minutes, and it's okay.
I'm like, all right, I'm okay with the stress for
a few minutes. But baseball is just no, We're gonna
fray your absolute last nerve every single pitch this postseason.
(04:12):
Every pitch you're gonna see it.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Well, every at bat you know, is at a premium.
We talked about it a lot last night, right, the
the difference in playoff at bats and rolling through right now,
I'm you know, as it stands, we're gonna have four sweeps.
That kind of sucks, but you know it's onto the
next series, onto the next round. For the Padres, you
got another hit from another home run out of Higashioka,
(04:38):
so you know you could stend those Yankee texts again
to your dad. So you got that going for you.
But yeah, the stress level you're feeling right now, This
is why you know losing one hundred and twenty one
games is not the worst of things, yea, because I
know I'm no worse off than Houston and Baltimore fans
right now. Oh I don't know about that, I you
Oh no, no, Well, you know, for the Astros, maybe
(05:01):
they can say, well, you know what, we had a
good run. Right. You talk about all the you know,
al title runs, you talk about the World Series appearances,
you talk about the cheating and maybe this is it.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Yeah, but buddy, years from now, ten years from now,
no one's gonna say, oh, remember when the Astros lost
and the and the Royals won in the first round
of the of the Three. No, but they're all gonna
go oh man, I fully remember when the White Sox
lost one hundred and twenty one games.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
I remember that.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
What though they can't hurt me anymore. The one hundred
and twenty one, as they happened, were like me getting
punched in the face by insert either your favorite wrestler,
give me an Andre the Giant Giants smashed to the
face or you know, Mike Tyson pugilistic barrage. I mean,
you could do that if you want. But otherwise, you know,
(05:50):
it's it's over. Like the hundred twe like they might
do it again. I mean, they're gonna be bad again
next year, so we might be having the same conversation.
But it goes into the distance past. You know, for
teams that were on potentially dynastic runs, they get salty
because they ended. For a team like the Orioles back
to back years in the playoffs, another early exit, they're
(06:13):
gonna be lamenting the dynastic opportunities that maybe never come.
You know, see Cincinnati Bengals here.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Now and you say, hey, okay, oh well right now
we're seeing fort sweeps. Thanks a lot because you're a jerk.
Oh we're gonna see four sweeps. How much fun is that?
Jackson Chorio just leads off the bottom of the eighth inning.
I didn't throw home run the right field. It's your fault.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
You said, oh, we're gonna see fort sweeps. O, dude,
Ford sweeps. How do you look Ford sweeps? Sat Jason,
you look Ford sweeps.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yeah. Twenty seconds after you said that, Chorio hits a
home run. So now the Mets and the Brewers are
tied at three. As the Brewers bat in the bottom
of the eighth thing, I.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Mean that guy can't even legally drink yet. I mean
they're gonna have the little onesie ready for yeah in
the post.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Well, so now we got everybody. Now we got more
of it because it's your fault, and I will.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
We're gonna get Ford sweeps.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Man, We're can for sweet, leave the ball up in
the zone. The guy who's been hitting the ball game
about this good?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
You know what, I don't see anything that could go
wrong for the Bears. Now the Bears are great. They're
gonna win every game. Caleb Williams is a Hall of Famer.
There's nothing that could go wrong.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Now, Hey, yo, how about that? Now you're like hurt you?
Speaker 3 (07:22):
You like that?
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Buddy, I'm getting even with you. I'm not getting even
with you there, not getting even with you. I'm getting even.
So what I said, like for a time getting even.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
H But hey, anybody want to give him a hug?
Where's Betty yet? Have Betty give you a while?
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Brewers fans are happy right now? And then another single?
So now the Brewers have a runner at first with
nobody out in the eighth inning. This game has not
been trending well for the Mets. They've left so many
runners in scoring position, getting them there with nobody out.
Not This is not the Mets team from a night
night ago. This game has been treadsed.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Brewers have been.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Reeling them in and now here they are, nobody out,
go ahead run at first base as they bat in
the eighth inning. Now, as happy as Brewers fans are,
there is one group of fans who are the happiest
fans in the world, and it's a one to eighty
from last night. Why because of these two results from
earlier ten.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Round ball shot in a second Keith pull, charge field
and clip.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Tigers win. They're moving on.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
They win three to one in Game one and shut
down the astros powerful offense. A four run rally in
Game two and a five to two win. Oh my goodness,
the Tigers are aheaded to Cleveland.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
One ball, two strikes, had a swing and a miss
in the Royals, they're going to attach. So there was
Tigers Royals Radio Networks on the call. The Orioles and
the Astros go home. They get swept in the first
round of the playoffs. A couple of really close games,
like we watched the Tigers late inning heroics despite the
(08:53):
fact they haven't had a hit since August seventeenth. They
wind up getting a big hit today in the eighth inning.
But make no mistake about it, the happiest people in
the world right now are the Yankees, because the Yankees,
whenever it gets to the playoffs, a lot of the Yankees,
it's all in their heads. It's all about matchups. It's
all about what they see in their way. And the
(09:13):
two teams that one are the worst matchups for the Yankees.
The Astros and the Orioles are both out of the playoffs.
Like that was a series where, Hey, these teams are
gonna have the Yankees number, the way the Orioles played
them during the season, way they've played in the last
few years, the way the Astros have played the Yankees.
But now you're talking about Okay, we got it. We're
looking at the teams in our way. Now we're Detroit,
(09:35):
Kansas City, and Cleveland. Uh okay, wow, we feel really
good about that. If the Yankees don't go to the
World Series, I don't know when they're gonna go. If
they don't go this year, I don't know when they're
gonna go. Because these are teams in their way where
the Royals and the Tigers deal with them today, Right,
the Guardians are really good, but they still have that
series to play against the Tigers. But you look at
the teams that won that knocked out the Astros and
(09:55):
and and knocked out the Orioles. Today, is that the
Tigers are really really limited, Right, so are the Royals.
The Royals aren't great. The Royals now they are real.
There are good teams, are both really good teams.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Right, They're gretty.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
They're well, gritty is a fun thing to be, right, gretted.
No one wants to No one wants to be Hey,
we're a bunch of superstars. We're great, we're feeling good.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Yeah, ros everybody.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Wants to be gritty. And the Tigers are embracing gritty.
But the Tigers are severely limited and the Royals are
a limited team as well. And when you play a
limited team in a longer series, it evens out and
the and the needle goes back to the big favorites.
So now you have a little bit longer series with
the Yankees now against the Royals. I fully expect them
to win here. And hey, Tigers and and the and
(10:35):
the Guardians the big rivalry there. Yes, the Guardians should
wind up winning, right, they were terrific this year. But
the Yankees have to say, hey, our two toughest opponents
that we could potentially have to play to go through
are gone, Like they know this, this has got to
be it. And obviously the pressure gets ratchet up. But
but the Yankees have to say, this is our world Series,
this is here for us. If we if we don't
(10:57):
win this year, I don't know when we're gonna go.
I really, if they don't get there this year, when
can you say, Hey, here's the Yankees filling out their roster,
do anything they can go. Right now, the way things
stand in the American League, the Yankees should be in
the World Series.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Yeah, I mean we talked yesterday about a lot of
the composition of the squads coming forward and again battle
tested by you know, beating up on the White Sox
were the Royals and Tigers over the course of the
regular season. So you have that going for you. You know,
Now we get a lot of shots of the Pine
(11:31):
Tar game, right, We're we're gonna get that probably shoved
down our throats nine thousand times over the next week.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Oh no, and Brett and George Brett's home run off
of Gossage. Oh yeah, oh yeah, we're gonna that one.
I got no homework for a week in school because
of that?
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Is that?
Speaker 5 (11:45):
Right?
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
You want a great story? Okay, so how about that
great story?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
So Royals Yankees, Right, they're gonna be playing in the Alds.
They played an incredible series in nineteen eighty. I'm going
back forty I'm going back when I was in fifth
grade and of.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Course growing up.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
I we have your music, everybody, Oh yeah, yeah, Tytuit
got my music. I'm not music for this because we're
going about going back to nineteen eighty so fifth grade,
and I'm the big Mets fan, right and all my everybody's.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
A Yankee fan, right, A Yankees, Yankees, Yankees, Yankees, right.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
The World Series in seventy seven, seventy eight, Yankees, Yankees, Yankees,
and I can't stand the Yankees, right. And George Brett
was my favorite player because he was my favorite player
because the Mets had no good ones because they traded
away Tom sever so Brett was my favorite player. And
they're playing the Yankees. And missus Pinito, who was my
fifth grade teacher, we would talk about this in this series,
(12:33):
you know, coming up series. And she said to me, okay,
mister smarty pants Mets fan. And I said, okay, miss Pinito,
I said, what she goes, Let's make a bet. And
I said all right, And she goes, if the Royals
beat the Yankees tonight, deciding game Game five, they beat
the Yankees tonight, you get no homework for a week.
I said, okay, she goes, but if they lose, you
(12:53):
get double the homework, and all the kids are going, oo,
so yeah, I'll take that, Yeah, yeah, no, sure, okay,
And I'm like, oh my god, what am I doing?
What am I doing?
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Right?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
So because because the whole everybody, I'm wearing my I
wear my Mets hat all the time, Yankee and every
She was a huge Yankees fan. And in the eighth
inning of this game, Goose goatsha just pitching, and the
and the and the Royals are losing three to two,
and George Brett hits a home run into the far
upper deck in Yankee Stadium to give the Royals a
(13:28):
five to three lead, and the game is over right,
and it's over and the Royals. The Royals win, And
I vividly remember two things. Jim Palmer, who was announcing
the game, going, there's no way that pitch is ninety
eight miles an hour. George Brett's not gonna hit a
pitch like that ninety miles hour that fint I. And
then the next day, coming into school, like she didn't
even want to tell that, TJ. You want to talk
to me, She was like, yes, just don't say anything.
(13:50):
No homework for a week. But but but no, no
homework for a week does so, she told so, I
got no homework, but she.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Didn't let me.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
I couldn't even I couldn't even enjoy it.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Old peak cocky enjoyed it all.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Don't say anything because everybody was upset because the Yankees
got knocked out of the playoffs?
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Did you start asking all sorts of questions about American history,
just randomly about George Washington?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
So what I'd like to know is when you cross
the Delaware to get to places like New York or
Yankee Stadium, what happens? Like, you know, when was Kansas
City settled? Miss Pinino? Can you tell me when was
when Kansas though? So again, that's a much better story
to relive than what I just saw in front of
me five seconds ago. The Mets now trail five to three.
(14:29):
Another home run, this time with the runner aboard, has
given the Brewers a five to three lead. As they
continue to bat, let's go in the bottom of the
eighth inning, Mitchell with a drive this dead center field.
It goes about four hundred feet, and now the Mets
are going to go to the ninth inning, final out
of the inning, trailing five to three, and now we're
(14:50):
looking at game three tomorrow because the Mets couldn't convert
on runners in scoring p visition with nobody out, and
here we go. The bullpen finally gets it gets and
gives up two home runs in the eighth inning. Blurg,
that's all I'm gonna say, just blurg, That's all I
got for You.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Leave it up in the zone once again. But had
plenty of opportunities, as you laid out right, there were
plenty of opportunities to put this game away, and now
comes down to a final like bat So want to
know what happened to Pete Alonzo early in the game
when he never got out of the batter's box.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Oh, man, Peter Alonzo, you talk.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
He is hitting free agency like I would hit a
buffet full of vegetables. That's that's how he's going into
free agency.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Man, he's like four for his last stumbling.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Really he is like he is like four for his
last forty. It is just oh man, it's difficult.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
It's yeah. He hits the ground ball and kick it
out of the box and they moved the camera up.
A's like the hell's Pete Alonso and he's already taken
his protective gear off.
Speaker 1 (15:50):

Notice show, wasn't your best friend on this comeback?
Speaker 5 (16:44):
No?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Because you put it out though. We're gonna go two
sweeps and now the Mets have to play Game three
because of you. Because of you, everything was fine served
up two two things fall because of me I'll blame too.
I'll blame two people. I'll blame you and Phil Matten,
who gave up both of those home runs.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Yes, it is over now.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
In Milwaukee, the Brewers hit two home runs on the
bottom of the eighth inning to turn a three to
two deficit into a five to three lead. They beat
the Mets five to three, and now San Diego leads
Atlanta five to three. Is Atlanta bats in the top
of the sixth inning, Padres win tonight. They end the
first round series. But we get baseball tomorrow guaranteed. And
I'll tell you what. No team that's lost the first
(17:24):
game of a three game series has won the series yet.
And I'll tell you what. Milwaukee's gonna win. I feel
I feel awful about the Mets. Froo terrible for the Mets.
I think sever is pitching the severe sever than Kuzman probably,
and then then maybe Gooden Darling.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Maybe out of that we bring back the young nineteen
sixty nine fireballing Nolan Ryan while we're at it.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
I think he can still throw about eighty was it
with their video of him recently?
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Yes, still throw like eighty miles an hour.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
He or whatever the hell he used to endorse, and
then all of a sudden he's out there amongst bales
of hay, just chucking the ball like he was back
on the hill.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Look, but I'll tell you this, Yes, two big home
runs for the Brewers. This game was lost when the
Mets couldn't get runs across when they had runners in
scoring position with three times they had runners in scoring
position with nobody out. And what do I always say?
Nobody turns runners in scoring position with nobody out into
no runs like the Mets. And they they had, they
had the Brewers on the ropes. They were up three
(18:21):
to one in this game, and they just allowed the
Brewers to hang around. And it always happens, right when
you don't finish and you let teams hang around, they
build momentum. They were more desperate, and you saw what
we got tonight. And I have no idea what they're
gonna do pitching tomorrow, I really, I know. I know
David Peterson has been their best pitcher the last two months.
May pitch a little bit, but who knows, Like I
(18:43):
don't know how much he's gonna be able to go
because he had to pitch on short rests Canadi him
on Sunday, like, I have no idea, really, I mean
a receiver Kuzman, Gentry Goodin of Sid Fernandez, Steve Traxel.
I mean, they're gonna be a lot of I really,
I don't know what's gonna happen. That the Brewers have
all the momentum and everything going into tomorrow because the Mets,
(19:05):
I don't know what they're.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Gonna do pitching wise.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
The only flip side for the Brewers is the Brewers
the last two days have really exhausted their bullpen because
they've had to.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Right.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
They exhausted their bullpenning Game one. They exhausted their bullpenning
Game two, and this, yeah, and this and this is
and he was pitching again just like last night.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
He was.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
He had one rough inning and then he started pitching
great and he was throwing some filthy splitters. Man, I'm going, oh,
Mant has figured out. Nope, not gonna leave him in
to face the Mets the third time. We're gonna bring
in relievers. And it worked out tonight for the For
the Brewers, they repeated the same mistake as last night,
but it worked out tonight because the Mets didn't let
him off the hook and they wound up winning the game.
But now you have yours. All your high leverage relievers
(19:44):
are cooked. Because now it's gonna be three days in
a row. You're gonna need him tomorrow. What are they
gonna have left after that? That's the one thing I
I cling to with the Mets is that, hey, the
bullpen was able to hold on to them tonight. But
now you're talking about all these guys are gonna go tomorrow,
All these high leverage guys I've pitched.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Now it's gonna be three days in a row. And
that's a thing.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
You get Tobias Myers on the hill tomorrow, nine and six.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Tobias on the Hill. Really I thought he was just
in the crown. Wow, I can do everything.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
His last outing was against the Mets, four shutout innings
in a six nothing win. So we'll watch that. But
I mean a lot of guys on base and it's
just the one timely hit that didn't come two of
eleven runners in scoring position tonight. But yeah, the Brewers
are showed through the bullpen. I mean, it's got shades
of what Joe Madden did years ago when the every
(20:31):
night we're watching the Cubs in the plais going what
the hell, And it's just every night he gets right.
And we've seen that happen, right, every every decision that
you're scratching your head, it's like, okay, this worked. And
then you go into the post game and they'd ask
him and he's like, well, and he really never had
a good answer for any of it. But at least
for two nights, that's what we've gotten here from the Brewers.
(20:54):
So we'll see how the rubber match goes as we
get to Game three.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Sorry, buddy, that's all right, but you know, look I
saw kid and give up.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
The home run though. Yeah, and then they added insult
to injury and what was a very very fast ninth inning.
You know, let's get up there and get hacking away.
They even got the dugout interview with Garrett Mitchell.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
On yeah, yeah, hey, we gotta get this going. He said, yes,
let's do it because the game's gonna be over soon.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Oh okay, let's go.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Let's go.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
First ball swinging a pop up to the catcher.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Come on, man, you know, and I will say, just
really quick before we get to the Dvante Adams last
up and on Vanta Adams is that no, And it's
hard to second guess because things were going well.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Is how the Mets have done. It's what happened. Least.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
I was a little surprised top of the order in
the eighth inning it wasn't Edwin DZ. I was a
little surprised in that high leverage situation, it was not
Daz coming in and Madden to come in in the
ninth and probably it was Hey, Matt and will pitch
and then if if if he gets a little bit
of trouble, then Diaz will come in. But I was
a little surprised, high leverage, top of the eighth inning,
top of the order, that we didn't get ds for
(22:00):
that moment.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
I was a little surprised, Hey, I'd be using him
for every pitch he's got left. Let's go finish the job.

The day after Davante Adams says he wants to get traded,
and we now know what's going to happen, right.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
We know it's gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Because the Raiders have said we're open, we want a
second round pick in a little more Davante Adams said, yes,
I want to get traded. Everybody's on the same page, right,
Antonio Pierce spoke today. We'll hear from a little bit
later onto the show, and everything is fine. He's going
to be held out of the game already this weekend
with his hamstring injury, so Adams is not going to play.
(22:49):
But we got a little bit of a curve ball
today because Adams, through sources, has let it be known
that his two preferred destinations, surprise, surprise, the Jets and
the Saints. I could go back, play with Aaron Rodgers.
I'll play with my buddy Derek Carr. Those are the
two places he wants to go.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Now.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
I told you last night, the Jets are not gonna
get out bid, right. They're they're too desperate. They have
put everything in on this season and jobs are at stake,
and they don't want to have to deal with Aaron Rodgers.
Can you imagine what that's gonna be if they don't
get DeVante Adams, and what it's gonna be like around
one Jets drive, the season will just fall apart at
the seams. It's gonna it will be absolutely awful. But
(23:28):
let me let me zag where you think I'm gonna
zig here. Honestly, the Saints need him more. The Saints
need DeVante Adams a little bit more, because you know,
I'm old enough to remember two weeks ago when it
was the Saints are the greatest team in the world.
Look how good the Saints are. Oh my god, they
beat the Panthers. They're the worst team in the NFL.
Oh they beat the Cowboys. Looks like the Cowboys thing too. Ah,
(23:49):
but look at they're so good. They're so fast, pre
stat motion and all this stuff. Look at the sound.
Look at the Saints.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Look at this saying yeah, what happened? Yeah, what happened.
By the last two.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Weeks, all the Saints have come back to earth. Sometimes
starts are just starts, right like when everybody wanted to
go crazy for the Saints and the Cardinals the beginning
of the season. Yeah, yeah, okay, it's a couple of games.
It just so happens to be in the beginning of
the season. If these teams won these games in the
week seven Week eight, we say, wow, well, look at
(24:18):
the Saints blow out the Cowboys like that after they
beat the Panthers. Whoa Okay, But because we're talking about
the beginning of the season and it's the only two games, Yeah,
look at the Saints. Look out great there, Well, now
you see the Saints have issues?
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Right?
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Did Saints have issues offensively? Defensively? It was an awful
game last week. They didn't allow an offensive touchdown, they
still lost. They need more firepower, right, they need something,
and DeVante Adams would be a great get for them
because they're looking at it at an offense where hey,
we have a couple of wet look a Lave is
really really good and Shahita is really good. But you
(24:50):
bring in Davonte Adams and that flips everything going back
to a guy that he loved getting the football from,
who has been very comfortable in the offense. We're able
to slide right in. The Saints on need him a
little bit more because the Jets defense is a lot better.
The Jets already have really good playmakers. They have three
good wide receivers, they have a great quarterback. But while
both teams need him, the Saints need him a little
(25:12):
bit more for where they sit right now. The division
is still there for them a little bit. You've seen
some of the some of what they're capable of earlier
in the season. But as far as which team would
needs him a little bit more, I think the Saint
team a little bit more.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Who were you counting as the Jets good wide receivers.
I just want to make sure Mike Williams, Mike Williams
is good.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
He's playing pretty well.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
And Alan z Ard is catching every pass now because
you know, Aaron Rodgers doesn't throw to Garrett Wilson anymore.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
He just spos Alan Lazard all the time.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Yeah, they have a mind meld. I mean, and look,
familiarity is a beautiful thing, you know. I'm reminded, you know,
just thinking about this DeVante Adams situation, and it comes
down to the inevitability of here's the two guys I've
caught passes from. I like them, I know them. My grandmother,
my late grandmother, and my dad's mom. She always had
this saying, I don't need friends, I got family. Don
(26:00):
Da Adams is that guy right now. You go to
a million other places where you might be able to win,
and the odds of racing to a conference title game,
maybe to the super Bowl are much higher. Nope, I
want to go play with my friends. We got that gun.
By the way, Mike Williams, I want to be with
my buddies. We have the same language, we know each other.
(26:23):
He still has a bunch of my CDs.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Jimmy came to call for me. I'm gonna go out. Okay, great,
I'll be out, be on for dinner, okay, great, see it.
We're gonna go play stickball, all.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
Right, get home when the lights go on. All right,
that's what we're talking about. But yeah, I mean Alave Wilson, Okay,
wash Shaheed big time over the top. And then the
running back she got uh Kamara on one side, Bryce
hall and and Braylen Allen on the other. The advantage
Jets overall, I think on the running back side. And
(26:53):
then Blizzard. We talked about it before the season ever began,
that he would become the go to guy. You'd love
to be able to buy enough time so that Garrett
Wilson can use, you know, his type of athleticism because
he's not a post up guy. He's not a guy
that's gonna fight and then do the things that you know,
the dirty work necessarily. I'm not saying he can't pile
(27:16):
up some receptions, but you know what makes him special
is you give him a little time to operate, to
find space and blow pass corners downfield. Now, he hasn't
had any gifts the last couple of weeks. He's played
arguably two of the what top five cornerbacks in the game.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
He's had the toughest start to a season for any
wide receiver. First four weeks, he's had the toughest. He's
gone up against the highest graded cornerbacks the first four
weeks of the season of anybody in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Yeah, I mean you look at Gonzales and certain just
the last two weeks. I mean, that's that's that's a
recipe for disaster. And if your offensive line can't hold
up that, it's even worse. But yeah, I think now
it's just the the battle. I like your the cut
of your jib with the with the Saints, But Dennis
Allen was like Robert Salagh guy where people were just going,
(28:07):
you know, it's inevitable. The Fano snap is coming for him.
Just if it happens with the Jets, it's far more far, wide,
far and wide reaching in terms of things falling apart.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
Now.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
I wish you could go magically find you know, some
guy like Jason Peters that just wants to go put
your Jets uniform on and go stand up on the
offensive line. I think that that's a bigger need in
DeVonta Adams. But I'm still gonna say he's a bigger
need for the Jets because otherwise it melts down and
we have no idea how the quarterback response. Derek Carr
is just gonna block people on Twitter.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
How do you how do you expect to turn things around?
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Deck?
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Well, I'm gonna start blocking people, oh like on running plays. No, No,
I'm being on Twitter, on social media. I'm be in
a right frame of mind. I'll get my accent back. Yeah,
I'll be more Southern than it's ever been before. That's
how I'm gonna improve. So nothing on the field. No,
I just told you I'm gonna do Southern accents back
blocking people on Twitter.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Hey, we've seen it work for coaches. We saw it
work for him for a little spell. We've seen it
work for politicians. Depending on where they are, they pick
up accents and affectations to their cadence. So, hey, Derek Carr,
why are you slipping back? What happened? It's like, you know,
some of the some actors when they get into interview,
(29:19):
it's like, wait, are you really from England? Because you
really sounded like you were from the South side of
Chicago right there? Are you just playing? We don't know,
we don't know what's a better story, but yeah, I
think your Jets needed.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
More exit out about a Fresco exit swollen Dome. The
Jason smithsho with Mike Carmon live from the tirec dot
Com Studios. If you thought you weren't gonna get any
work out of me in the eighth, the ninth innings
of the Mets Brewers game, we're getting absolutely nothing out
of the guy we're gonna talk to right now because
his padres are three innings away from the playoffs. He
doesn't even know what the final scores of games are.
(29:53):
He doesn't been playing today, he has no idea. He's
just gonna sit here and say sports sports, sports guys,
back to you.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
It's Brian Finley with what's freending.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
Jason and Mikey would only be fitting that I started
out this update bringing something to you from the Mets
Brewers game fly ball right field.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
It is deep, it is gone. We are tied in
the eighth sitting on the second homer of the night
from Jackson Curio.
Speaker 5 (30:24):
Yeah, and you mentioned Jason that eighth inning, which is
sort of a puke job there for the Mets, who
had a three to two lead going hidden and then
they gave up three runs in the eighth. There was
also the two run home run from Garrett Mitchell by
way of a pinch hit. He got in there and
made it happen. Five to three the final score in
that game two and a wild card best of three matchups.
(30:45):
So we're going to a game three, a winner take all,
and it's going to be eight thirty Eastern in Milwaukee tomorrow,
this after the Mets failing to get the job done
by way.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Of a sweep.
Speaker 5 (30:56):
Speaking of the Padres, yeah, they're closing in on a
sweep and I'm not here to jinks them, but they
are in front five to two against the Braves, and
those five runs scored for San Diego all came in
the second inning, and since then they've just given up
that one home run from Jorge Solayer.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
In the fifth.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
The Padres have held the Braves are just four hits
in this game.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
San Diego won Game one in this NL wild Card matchup.
Speaker 5 (31:23):
A game two win tonight would take them to the
NLDS to take on the La Dodgers. And then, lastly,
guys from earlier we saw the Orioles. They are knocked
out after losing a Game two two to one against
the Royals. So a sweep two losses at home for
the Orioles, they're done in the postseason. The Royals advance,
(31:43):
they're going to take on the Yankees, and a win
for the Tigers as they sweep the Astros.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Five to two in that Game two.
Speaker 5 (31:51):
So on to the Alds go the Detroit Tigers where
they will face off against the Guardians the Cleveland Guardians
with the ald starting on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
With that, let's get it back.
Speaker 5 (32:03):
To Mike Harmon, whose team certainly did not make the postseason.
The Chicago White Sox into Jason Smith, who's getting a
little bit more nervous now that a Game three is
being forced with his Mets.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Joe Germaine has not played in the NFL in a
long time. All that, I'm not nervous anymore. The game's over,
Games over. We lost, now, just pissed, nervous for Game
three coming up. You guys might just lose, of course. Yes,
well no, well I wouldn't say I'm nervous. As a
Mets fan and Mets fans, we just accept that the
worst thing is always going to happen. So like, oh,
(32:38):
I'm not nervous we're going to lose. I'm fully expecting
the Mets to lose because that's kind.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Of how it works for us.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
So you kind of like torture winning as a bonus. Yeah,
I wouldn't be a Mets fan if I didn't like torture.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
A long time. Jumped on the Yankees.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
When I was nine years old, but a Yankee fan,
I'd like the Yankees and the Giants, and I had
Super Bowls and World Series and the best sports life ever.
The fact I still like sports and you look at
my teams, they're like, wow, man, this guy really does
love sports.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
Night loves the underdog story.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
His teams are the Mets and the Jets.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Wow, the Jets are looking good right now. Thank you,
Brian Finley, you go back and watch the game. Coming
up next, we got a big story out of the NFL.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
No team has.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Fallen from Super Bowl favorite to also ran wondering if
anybody's gonna get fired and guys are gonna lose their
jobs faster than this team in the last couple of months.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Who is it? We'll tell you next right here, Jason
and Mike Fox Sports Radio.

Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific, Fox.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best friend
Mike Harmon live from the ti rack dot Com Studios.
Padres lead the Braves five to two going to the
bottom of the seventh inning. Padres get out of the
top of the seventh. They are six outs away from
the NLD as to the date with the Dodgers. We'll
(34:03):
have more baseball coming up. But it really, it really
shocks me. And not a lot shocks me because I
you know, doing sports every day for a living, we
see stuff, oh my gosh, yeah, and then we get
over it. But the fall of the Dolphins has been
(34:23):
staggering and there's really no reason for it. Over the
course of the last eight games, right we've watched since
December of last year, the Dolphins were everything that was
new about the NFL. They were Mike McDaniel, he's the
next great head coach of the great offensive system. Everything
is fast, everything is a track meet. Their offense is unstoppable.
(34:47):
They were playing at such an unbelievably high level. And
then December came and then went home in the playoffs
and the off season. Instead of hey, how do we
take the next step that the the area around the
team was, Hey, this is one of those get by years.
We really take a try to take a leap next year.
What the hell are you talking about? Like you were
(35:09):
fantastic for the first three quarters of the season and
now suddenly, what do you mean you're talking about next year?
And the Dolphins kind of stayed status quo and now
here they are beginning of this season doesn't start out great.
To a tongue of I Lois sustains another concussion, You
don't know when he's gonna play anymore. And then you
get Tyreek Hill today, who has had to put out
a statement saying I'm committed to staying with the Dolphins. Yes,
(35:31):
there's some frustration. There was video and reports of him
yelling and calling out some things he was upset about
on the sideline with the team. Hey, it happens, guys
get mad. But Tyreek Hill had to put out a
statement saying, no, I'm committed here. I want to retire here.
All of these things, Mike, this is eight games. This
(35:51):
is over a course of eight games. No team has
fallen further than the Dolphins, and there's really no reason
for it. Like the way that Dolphins should be was
okay coming off of last year, Wow, look how good
we were. We need to make a couple of moves
to sustain this. We definitely want to get the playoff
games at home. We're a warm weather team. Nothing we
could do about that. But hey, we're excited in the offseason,
(36:13):
And instead it was, hey, well we got to move
some things around.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
We're not really gonna sign anybody.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
What do you mean we talking about then the beginning
of the season with two Tonguel Vailoa, Hey, the reaction
should be, hey, we want to get him back. It's
a big deal, but we're good enough going forward, and
instead it's like that's been the excuse for everything to
just fall apart. And I don't know why the Dolphins
have fallen so far so fast.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
They shouldn't.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
They should be dealing with a quarterback injury and the
health of Tua and what he wants to do for
himself and his family going forward. That's a big thing.
But it's almost like once the calendar hit December of
last year, everything turned into, well, we gone as far
as we can, We're done. This is not a team
at the end of a run where we got all
these guys to pay. They're all thirty years old. They're
(36:55):
not the forty nine ers who have a bunch of
guys making fifteen million dollars a year. This was, Hey,
we're the next young group in the NFL. Tyreek hill
Re does his contract, A chan is all young and
a rookie deal. Hey we got what we have some
really good guy We got some dudes on this team.
And instead it's almost been like an accepted spiral, like
once they started looting, once they lost a little bit
in December and lost a playoff game.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
With the Chiefs, and was, Okay, I don't know what
this is gonna be. Now we're a mess.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
It's unlike like they've accepted being a mess for and
it doesn't make any sense why.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
I mean, you got you got a number of guys injured.
I mean every team's got got a few, there's no
question about it. But Jalen Phillips now lost for the
year again, Bradley Chubb's been hurt. Odell Beckham junior not
there whatever he is at this point. Obviously he's not
a one, but depth a wide receiver never hurt, I mean,
which is why we're talking about, let's trade number threes
(37:44):
on teams two to the Jets or or some of
these other would be contenders. H not just Devanta Adams,
Jordan Poyer not playing, David Long hurt, Isaiah Win, Tarreon
Armstead's been unavailable on the offensive line, which is as
you've seen, you know, you don't blow holes open. You
don't have the downfield passing threat that you had with Tua.
Guess what a chan just a guy. Moster hasn't been
(38:07):
available all season long, right, the rookie right drafted him.
He's gonna be well. He's banged up, so injury's certainly
playing a role in it. But a little bit of
the McDaniel's a genius and can make it all spin.
His kind of fallen off to the wayside here without
every one of those toys in the cover. Because you
still have Tyreek Hill, and you still have Jalen Waddle
(38:30):
and the aforementioned e Chand who last year averaged a
first down, it seemed per carry. Now. Interestingly, with the
anytime touchdown odds for Tyreek Hill this week plus three
point thirty, he's never been more than two to one
on any game that Tua was available, So Oddsmaker's lengthening
(38:52):
that said, yeah, prove it to us here. So yeah,
it's a difficult spot, and it looked like the division
was still there to at least battle right because everybody
hated Buffalo. I gotta jump off that bad wagon. That's
not gonna work. Folks reluctantly either were on or off
the Jets. There was really you know, you picked a
side and then everybody assumed New England would be bad
(39:14):
so you'd have opportunity. But through four weeks, yeah, an
unmitigated disaster exit.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
How about a Fresco exit? Swollen down the Jason Smithcher
with Mike Carmon live from the tirec dot Com Studios,
Coming Up next, a double barrel of NFL topic coming
your way. I'm pretty sure Mike and I rode money
from somebody. And also what could be next for Patrick
