for you every single night. The ninth inning at Chavez Ravine,
(01:01):
Dodgers maybe had a little something going on, second and third,
nobody out all of a sudden action in the Blue
Jays bullpen get up, warm up fast Man.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Hoffman was like a rapid fire, you know, fast fast
forward kind of thing on your your VCR.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
Man.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Let's bring in Tom Hankey whenever we need to get
this done, find somebody. But the Dodgers do get a
run in, but Blue Jays will trade a run for
an out of course six' to Two. Toronto with the,
lead they are two outs away from tying The World
series up at two games, apiece one out runner at.
Second Keik hernandez batting for The, dodgers and, well, look
(01:40):
it's it's a short or a small solace for The,
dodgers but hitting the ball a little bit late in
this game probably gives them a little bit of positivity
going into. Tomorrow, because, Boy i'll tell you the biggest
thing from this game Right, granted it's been a nice
boring game from what we had LAST i under three
(02:02):
hours right, now but The dodgers are simply not hitting
in The World. Series they're just Not they're batting at
their team batting averages right around two.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Hundred.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Yep and you know we mentioned it beginning of the.
Show but the guy who stands for all of that
and who really is the one that can make the
big difference Is Mookie. Bets Mookie betts has been horrendous
and in an horrendous rut since the beginning of THE.
Nlcs he's got now five hits because he's got a hit,
tonight finally getting a base, hit but five hits since
(02:35):
THE nlcs has, begun he has been. Lost he is
popping the ball, up he's dropping his, shoulder he is swinging,
early swinging at first, pitches trying to find a way
to jumpstart himself, offensively and he's not been. Good and
it's been a killer for The dodgers because When Shoe
Hee otani is on base almost every, time and your
next guy coming up as your next best, player and
(02:55):
he's going back to the, dugout not even Advancing otani
and after popping up like you can only go through
that so many.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Times you know what a solution might have been if
he could. Bunt, no, No i'm just, Kidding.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
So, betts that's a, killer and dropping him in the
lineup we talked about it last hour is probably the right.
Thing you can't just, wait, Well moki's gonna hit it, Something, Mook,
yeah this is you can't keep wasting these Doubt you're
you're tied to, too you're gonna wind up being tied
to too now two outs in the bottom of the ninth.
Inning series is going back To. Toronto and no matter,
(03:27):
what you need to be able to jumpstart the. Team
And muki's the first guy to tell you he's not
having a great. Season he's not been hitting the ball.
Well and if you drop him in the, ORDER i
think he's gonna understand because you can't have him just
popping up every single. Time and when you talk about
the guys that need to, Go, otani as great as he,
is he's not the guy that makes this lineup. Go
(03:50):
When Mookie betts, hits that's when The dodgers, lineup it
seems like it's clicking on all, cylinders. Right that's When
Freddy freeman feels like he's. HITTING i Mean otani hitting on.
Base otani Is. Otani but there's a difference between the
impact That bets has on the. Team, well watching this
team day in and day out for the past few
years With Mookie betts like he's the guy he makes them.
Go and when you See Mooki betts, hit all of a,
(04:13):
sudden The dodgers, lineup it's contagious and suddenly everybody's hitting
The dodgers scoring, six seven to eight. RUNS i get
that there's gonna be a little bit of a downtick
in the postseason because you don't simply score as much
you do during the regular. Season but, man since the
first two games against The, reds The dodgers really have not.
Hit they were bailed out in THE nlcs by their.
(04:33):
Pitching they win the big extra inning game last, Night
yamamoto carries them with an incredibly well pitched game In game,
two the, big dirty little cigaret for The. Dodgers they've
not hit the entire, postseason And bets is the guy
and the poster for. It it's if he hits that
will pick up the Entire dodger. Lineup but, man we
can talk about the, bullpen we can talk about getting
(04:54):
a bound starting, pitching but this, lineup with all the
sluggers they, have they just have not hit in the.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
Postseason, well and that's what we, watch you, know coming
out of THE, nlcs there was a little bit of
what you had, hoped maybe a bit of carryover with
the offense starting to find its way of those last
couple of games of that series to close it. Out
but credit to The toronto pitching. Staff they've done a
good job of limiting the big plays and you, know
(05:21):
say what we. Will we talked about it a bunch
last night With steve De. Seger you know, what the marine,
hayes whatever you call the weather patterns knocking the ball down?
Right how many times did guys stand in pren thinking
they were getting their superstar moment only to see it
caught at the warning? Track obviously Before Freddie freeman's game,
ender but, overall hitting two hundred as a squad For
(05:44):
Mookie bets for the, year batting average was down thirty
one points from a year. Ago power numbers are the
same ish as last, year but he played or one
hundred and fifty games this. Year he was thirty four
more games a next one hundred and forty nine at
bats to equal those. Numbers so struggled, early found a
(06:07):
little semblance and consistency a little later on in the,
season hoping that would. Continue but it has, not as
he's been lost at the. Plate got a base hit here,
late but that's one of those where you kind of
throw your arms, up, going, yeah he's gonna get a hit, now,
Right like the cub fans used to do With sammy
so so when games were in blowout, fashion here comes
a five hundred foot home. Run we've done it a
(06:28):
couple of times With Shoemo tani in, bad bad. Spots
when it's the seventh then, yeah they'll pitch to him,
now so, bam there it. Goes so you try to
take advantage and if he's anywhere near the normal hitter
that he's been for his, career he's a two ninety.
Hitter now you're talking About freeman And Tae oscar having
ducks on the pond and you start getting that Little
(06:50):
congo line thing. Going all of that is muted right
now with the Way Mookie bets is swinging the.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
BAT i, mean, really it is Like Danger Well, Robinson
Danger Will. Robinson this is The, dodgers not like The.
Dodgers hitting is supposed to be what bails them out
from all the, issues right BECAUSE i understand and fly
out to senator trout to left, field final out of the. Game,
Tonight Blue jays win. It they have now tied The
World series at two games. Apiece we will now crown
(07:16):
The World series champion In. Toronto it is official that
will absolutely. Happen but the thing is is that when
when every team is, flawed, right even The World series
teams are. Flawed The dodgers' flaws coming into this. Series
we've talked about. It the, bullpen which we know all,
right tonight was A dodger bullpen everybody knows and, loves
and the bounce they'll get starting pitching, wise from THE
(07:37):
nlcs to. Now, now are they getting good?
Speaker 6 (07:39):
Games?
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Yeah you Know otani pitched okay, tonight, right but it
wasn't six innings shut out. Ball it Wasn't yamamodo what
he did In game. Two this wasn't what they got
against The brewers in the ENTIRE. Nlcs it Wasn't Blake
snell who got lit up In game. One you're getting
you're getting the bounced. There the bullpen is not going
to be able to be, reliable, right, Okay but The
(08:01):
dodger hitting is what's supposed to balance that. Out they're
supposed to rake and, say, yeah, okay there's Game we're
not going to count on our. Bullpen but we're scoring
six to seven runs, here and that just it's just not.
Happening they are squeezing the sap out of their. Bats
they're not moving runners, over they're not they're staying out
of the big. Innings that the home runs aren't coming
with runners on, Base like when they beat The, brewers
it seemed like it was, dominant but they weren't winning
(08:23):
dominant games eight to one and six. Nothing they're winning
three to, one four to. One, then and and the
fact The dodgers pitching cover threat that The dodgers weren't gonna,
hit AND i, thought, well at some point they're too
good a team not to. Hit but now you're in
the last three games of the season and The dodgers
still haven't. Hit they hit against The, reds who are
an extremely flawed team shouldn't even been in the. Playoffs
(08:43):
but then, again you, know everybody's got to be the
last seed in the, playoffs and so they hit against. Them,
okay that's, Great but, really since, then it's been good good, luck,
man good. Light and they have not found the Red
and it's not like there's there's anything that looks like
it's getting. Better if anything's, Okay bets is getting. Worse
and this is still With otani getting on base almost every. Time,
(09:05):
Hey bets just got to. Hit he did he did
celebrate hopefully he can pick up DID i MEAN i
commemorated Hop iflly could pick up on. That but you,
know you're you're not getting any anything from. Anybody like
if if you have A dodger, player they're hitting two sixty,
five it feels like they're hitting five, hundred, right it
feels Like Tommy edmond is Is, wow look at, it
he's hitting like five. Hundred otani's getting walked all the.
Time BUT i, mean this is the biggest red flag
(09:26):
and the biggest danger warning sign for The dodgers Is, hey,
yeah the other the other ills we, expect but you
gotta start, hitting, man like this is this Is. God
this has got to be. It this has got to be.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
It.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Yeah, No And i'd be curious to see the best
of three coming, up What Dave roberts does with the,
lineup if there are any switches to be. Made bets
did have that hit, late As justin, said one for
four on the night as a, team a composite two
oh two batting AVERAGE uh in This World series thus,
far a lot of runners left on, bass opportunities, SQUANDERED,
(09:57):
uh some bat at, bats a little bit of guesswork
today with the strike, Zone so we add that element
and that goes on both. Sides because you watch The toronto,
players they were frustrated as, well but certainly for for this.
One you're not gonna shut everybody, out, Right like my
daughter's a, defender, right getting ready to play some more
more soccer into in the. Collegiate uh, fair but like
(10:19):
gets really ticked when they give up a, goal and
the some of the players and you know family might
In bristol a. Bit it's like when they give up a,
goal it's, like you're not shutting everybody.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Out, yeah it's gonna.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Happen it's gonna have these these players play, too, right
like they Get it's like, here you get paid to
play In major. League you, KNOW i guess. What you're
not shutting everybody. Out yamamoto is not gonna pitch a complete.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Game the, best the best line on THAT i ever
heard Was Ron, darling Right mets broadcaster doing doing postseason,
games is that when he was a, pitcher you know
he would he would always be in the beginning of his,
career he he would when things weren't going his way
on the, mound the pitching coach will come out and
talk to, him and the manage will come out and
talk to, them like in the miners up to the,
majors and they were just, like he's so, down and
(11:03):
he SAYS i should be doing this and this and
this and this and, this and finally they had to
tell him that WHAT i think it, was one of
his pitching coaches, says, Hey, ron you know the other
side is trying To, okay they're not just up here
to lay, down you know the other side is. Trying
so let's just figure out a solution For he was,
like ONCE i was told, that it was like the
a light went on for. Them, okay NOW i gotta understand. That,
(11:25):
boy when my plan things aren't going my, way what
CAN i do to adjust WHERE i? Think i'm coming
in with a plan and this is what's Gonna this
is how it's gonna. Go and as long as and
as long as my plan is good and there's not
gonna be any any sort of unforeseen, circumparances no one's
gonna hit a double off the wall off, Me no
one's gonna three run. Home we're not gonna walk a
guy with the bases, loaded, like, hey, dude that something
(11:46):
the other side is trying just as hard as you.
Are it's going to. Happen so when it's not going your,
way let's find a way around.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
It it's, funny you're getting me flashbacks To Ozzie yan
when he was first the manager of The White. Sox,
Right so we commemorated The World series win this past,
Week Bobby, jenks you, know go get the signal to
go get the big. Guy but When Ozzie gihan took
over his, manager he inherited a number of, young promising,
pitchers but they were all. Babied they'd get in trouble
(12:14):
and they'd be taken. Out they never had to fight
through an. Inning so in the early part of his
first year, there they'd look to the dugout waiting for
him to come get, him and he'd basically flip him, off,
like come, on you got yourself into, it get yourself
out of.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
It let's sell what you can. Do and they all
became better pitchers for.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
It but it's very much that adversity's gonna find you
at some, point but you need both sides of your
team to pick you.

wiped a lesser team, off The Blue jays bounced back

Speaker 1 (14:27):
Fox the final, call As Chris berman would, SAY anddj
that play the final straw for The Blue jays as
they tie the series to games.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Apiece well. DONE i still want to hit.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
You The World series is all. Even there are three games.
Left that is now the best of. Three we get
ready for game, five look back at game. Four nobody
better to talk to Than Eily network insider, extraordinaiy longtime
friend of the. Show he is The, Pope JOHN, Palmerrosi,
pope what's happening?
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Man how are?
Speaker 2 (14:57):
YOU i have outstanding and the Reason i'm out standing is.
THIS i know that we have at least two more
baseball games left in twenty twenty. Five this is A
World series, that DARE i say deserves a seventh. GAME
i think there's a good chance that we're going to get.
One and as much as we'll Talk game, four we're
(15:17):
still in many ways reliving all that transpired there In game,
three AND i think, overall you have to, say this
is about where this series should be at two games at.
Piece we've seen some great performances on each, side so
that missed opportunities on each. Side two two feels right to.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Me did today go how you expected the game to?
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Go that's a great. QUESTION i would say not. EXACTLY
i did not think that The jays would win by
as big of a margin as they. DID i thought
they would be. COMPETITIVE i thought they'd have a chance
to win it. LATE i did not think they'd open
up the game against The dodger, bullpen and the fashion
they did that was probably the. Surprise and, Actually i'll say,
(16:04):
this the biggest surprise for me was that The jays
won a game in Which Shane bieber was out before
the end of the sixth. INNING i thought that he
had to take this thing, deep AND i mean into
the seventh for them to be able to win this baseball.
Game and the reason that they were able to still
(16:26):
win it Despite bieber being out when he did in
the sixth was That fluardi was. Great bassett was. Phenomenal he.
IS i Think Chris bassett's emergence as a legit late
inning arm for The jays is one of the most
important storylines of this. Postseason and, then of Course marlin
is able to get it done in the, ninth which
is crucial because that means That Jeff hoffin is rested
(16:49):
and ready for. Tomorrow SO i, think to, me the
story is not just the way The jays won the game,
tonight but the way that they were able to recover
from last night to tonight Sleep. Fast it's about a
devastating of a loss as you're ever going to experience
on a baseball, field and you come, back you're a
little bit, beleaguered you're not really. Sure Obviously George springer
(17:11):
wasn't able to, go But bobaschet, was and it just
it's really a tribute to the resolve of The Blue
jays that we are leveled now.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
At two games a peace talk about the absence Of.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Springer one of the big things yesterday in that eighteen inning.
Marathon but Something jason AND i have been talking about
quite a, BIT, jp is that a lot of bat
at bats by These dodger. Hitters we talked specifically About Mookie,
betts but as a, team it's a composite two oh
one and change for a batting average thus.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Far and to be, Fair, mike that's not a new.
Problem you don't really go back when you go back
and look at certainly the regular, season they underwhelmed the
times and Obviously otani was the offense last. Night it
was that was like that was like why A Cleveland
cavaliers playoff game circa two thousand and seven where it
(18:04):
was Just lebron And lebron could just win a game by.
Himself rare as the baseball player that can do. That
otani basically did that last, night obviously with a pretty
significant Assistanm Freddie, Freeman but that was the. Offense it
was like a two man. Approach and then you look
at tonight and that was a massive. Contrast you're spot,
(18:25):
On mike that there was a big difference between the
thoroughness and the depth of the at bats and the
quality on The toronto side versus some quick at bats
by The. Dodgers and then you really think about it
that they made a bit of a push there in
the final inning Against. Farland but for the most, part
it didn't seem Like bassett was really sweating that. Much
(18:47):
he did not have that many stress. Pitches it's why
The jays have had him usually pitching just one, inning
but now all of a sudden they were able to
extend him because he did not have many stress. Pitches and,
again it's one thing to, Say, okay you've got to
work deeper at bats and deeper. Counts and then o'tani
had some really good takes last, night and certainly some
(19:07):
still some very good at bat. TONIGHT i thought in different,
moments but this is not the point of the. Year
we're almost The. Halloween it's not a day where you're
all of a sudden gonna roll on a. Bed you know, What,
Yeah i'm gonna start working six, seven, eight bitch at.
Bat it's at this point you are who you are
and who The dodgers. Are they are incredibly, talented but
(19:30):
they are Not this is not The New York yankees
of the early aughts or the late nineties when they
would just grind you through at bat after at. Bat
that's not the kind of lineup The dodgers, have AND
i think tonight was was one case where that that
shortcoming was very evident for the baseball world to.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
See you, know watching the series so, far really watching the,
playoffs is that the Show Hal Tawny show has been
covering up all the ill of The dodgers that are
still they haven't Hit John paul since the series against The.
Reds their bullpen is back to being the bullpen that
nobody can, trust and really like the guy that stands
for all of this is Probably Mookie, betts who looks
(20:13):
absolutely lost at the plate and when he, goes The
dodger offense goes and outside you strip Away otani what he's.
Doing The dodgers are really underachieving when when it comes
to what they've done this, postseason well they.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Are AND i think then the next follow up question, Is,
okay tomorrow is the last game At Dodger stadium this.
Season how many changes do you make to the. LINEUP
i think that maybe you make a move at the
bottom part of the, lineup and maybe you end up
sitting pies and then you Put Alice call in. There
obviously they have Had call take the at bat at
(20:48):
the end of the game. Tonight maybe that's been of
a foreshadow of what they could do.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
TOMORROW i think you have to drop bets in the.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
LINEUP i don't think you can bat him second. Anymore
you can't do.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
It so that's the. Thing so it's a fair. Quest
here's WHAT i would. SAY i still think with the
three batter minimum and the way that you set things,
up that you want to have a righty Separating otani And.
Freeman do you do you move? Up Will? SMITH i,
think and you, know, Again mookie is so important to this,
(21:17):
team you. CAN'T i don't. Know it's a great, question
and it's something that that you probably think about with
in almost any other, situation AND i think they will
think about this, tonight by the, way that that is
something absolutely. Consider but the QUESTION i have is who
do you like in that two spot to ask? Her
(21:38):
An endez run hot and cold?
Speaker 5 (21:40):
Too maybe maybe you put him, There maybe maybe you
go to ask her a. SECOND i guess you could
also Go Will, smith if you those are really the
only two guys THAT i would say that are right
handed in The dodger lineup that you feel comfortable enough
to work that.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
In between the two of. Them it's Too Alex. CALE
i think you haven't seen enough out of. HIM i
do think that might be the move to the sip
pies and to Put call in the. Game but that's
but you're not gonna Put call into the two spot for,
me SO i, yes you consider. It but but if
(22:20):
you're gonna Move mooki down and maybe maybe you hope
that you get a little different kind of that bat
out of. Him if he's maybe he's maybe you either
put him right ahead or right After Max. Monsey you
Know monthy's gonna. Work you're gonna have that for the most.
Part it is gonna be on base a.
Speaker 5 (22:36):
Bunch i'd put.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
HIM i would consider if you're gonna move Ta oskar,
up then maybe you Move tao up and then you
Put mooki in front Of mounsey as a way of
kind of Activating mooky a little. Bit you, Know monthy
likes to see a lot of. Pitches maybe you hope
That looki gets on, base maybe hoping that he can
steal put the ball and you put the ball in,
motion you got to get on base guy in. Monthly
(23:00):
that's something to think about for. Me. Uh but that's
that's that's the one that that is The morosi approved.
Recommendation if you're really going to take it, up if
you're really going to shake it Up, dodgers that's WHAT
i would consider. Doing tayo, up he's swift where he's,
at and then Flip mookie down and connect them up
with uh With mounsey and hopes that that gets them. Activated.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
YEAH i mean cause you, know generally when we have
our conversations about Tay oscar Or, hernandez he's going to
give you some he's going to take away you just
hope he's giving you enough at the, plate uh in
the head at least With freddy behind.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Him.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Correct And so the other, thing, too is when you
think about, that And i'm just kind of talking to
this out loud, Here dodger, fans feel free to weigh
in and call the station let us know how you
feel about. It by the, Way i'm Just i'm just
now advertising phone calls as a, guests which is probably
the First i've ever done. That but but here's the thought,
is if you Have tayo, higher and if you're going
(23:55):
to consider, putting putting in a defensive replacement for, him
it's easier to do. That for someone who's batting that
high in a. Lineup then you could maybe sneak that
one extra bat out of him in the six or
seventh inning and then defense for. Him that, way you're
not waiting for them to come up deeper in the,
lineup and then you get one less inning of the
(24:16):
higher defensive value by making the defensive. Replacement this is
the kind of stuff we think about late at.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Night all, Right so thinking about this late at, Night game,
five we Got, snell we got, you, Savage John Paul
morosi complete the sentence. Tomorrow In game, FIVE i, expect, BLANK.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
I expect The jays to keep hitting and AND i
know that sounds maybe a little bit unexpected given the
quality Of snell on how dominant he's. BEEN i just
think that The jays put some really good at bats out.
There AND i Realized Blake snell is not a generic, lefty,
okay but they've already seen him once and and, You, savage,
(25:00):
man it's not gonna surprise. Me at. All if The
Blue jays go out there and win this game. TOMORROW
i know that that might sound, surprising BUT i think
that Your savage backed up now by you might Have
hoffman for more than an. Inning Maybe laura's back in,
Play bassett probably is still. Available varlin didn't have to
(25:23):
throw that many. Pitches SO i think you tell You, savage, look,
buddy you, got you got five, Innings give me everything you,
got and then we'll figure out the remaining. FOUR i
think that's that's probably the way you do. It he
has not thrown on regular rest all that, often AND
i JUST i think that after Seeing smell just look
(25:44):
at the body language on the on The Blue jay hitters,
TODAY i don't be. Glad he didn't seem. Nervous bashett
didn't seem, Nervous clement didn't seem. Nervous they bargar put
together some really good at bat's. KIRK i, mean these,
guys they're, pros and they were down too old to The.
Mariners now that now That rodgers are a better team Than,
seattle they, are but this is something That jays have
(26:04):
been comfortable. Doing and then they Lost game five on
the road in just devastating. Fashion they came back in
the one the next two. Games so it's the fact
that this win tonight guarantees the series goes back To
toronto is massive AND i think takes a little bit
of pressure off The, jays who now have the momentum
and some good feelings Entering game. Five, well we, guys
(26:26):
we've got a, great great world. Series this is what
you sign up for when you show up and when
you get involved. In you're a baseball, fan you love
a world series like this is being viewed by people
all around in the. WORLD i saw like thirty some
million People game. One just great for the, GAME i
love it AND.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
Jp if nothing else out of all of, this we've
got a superstar that's emerged that we always knew, About
Vladimir Guerrero, junior but for the casuals they've been introduced to.
Him other than he's just his Famous hall Of fame father's.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Son we're probably gonna eventually remind people and talk to
people and, say, oh, yeah you, know you know Lad,
dad he played baseball. Too he's played football. Player, REALLY i,
mean like this guy's he's specially and the thing is,
too so he's on he's he's playing relevant games on
(27:17):
the world stage at an earlier age than his dad. Did,
obviously his dad starts Out, montreal he goes to The.
Angels The angels never really make a deep run in
terms of threatening to go to The World series in
the years that his dad was. There then he makes
The World series in twenty ten with The, rangers and
he almost forgets that he was on that team just
(27:38):
because of how quick That World series. Was But Vladdie
junior is rising to the. Occasion he homers off Of.
Otani that's a massive moment for him in his. Career
and he's been doing it all months. Long now has
the single season record for home runs in the postseason
with The Toronto Blue. Jays just really be of year
(28:00):
all the way around for. Him he picked it up
in a big way in the second. Half now he's
playing like a. Superstar he's obviously THE ALCS. Mvp and
and it's not just the slugging you saw, yesterday the
amazing throw across the diamond To clement to get a crucial,
out the great, slide the score from first, there he's
(28:21):
just he's doing it. All he is a total player
and Man it's fun to watch when you get someone
that talented who started to put it all. Together he's
Again otani is one of. One but But vladdie has
has shown that he belongs in the. Conversation is the
true among the truly great talents in the game right.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Now he is one of the truly great talents in
the game of. Broadcasting he Is John Paul, MOROSI Mlb

Studios we have more on The World series coming up
in about ten. Minutes what to expect In game. Five
(33:52):
we have an Idea byne Big news out of THE nfl,
today another quarterback change is, made not too, Uprising Tyler
shuck is. In Spencer rattler is out for The. Saints
saints will turn twenty six year old rookie to try
to move the football without having just absolute soul crushing
(34:15):
turnovers at the other end of, it which is really
what's plagued The saints so far this.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
Season that has been.
Speaker 4 (34:19):
It we've Seen rattler and he's had some moments good
and some really. Poor, yeah he loses and he gets. Shucked,
yeah which is actually a.
Speaker 8 (34:31):
Play, Yeah, yeah it's pretty.
Speaker 6 (34:33):
Good.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Yeah you know what if they had the former actor
from the seventies and, Eighties John, shuck actually come in
to announce That shuck is coming in and you are getting.
SHUCKED i think that'd be pretty. Cool that's that's pretty, Good,
john THAT i Got suck in the. Show say that five.
TIMES i Got John shuck in the. Show, yeah just
be careful say.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
That.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Now the other move that we are not far away
from Is Shador sanders starting for The, Browns Dylan gabriel the,
experiment you had to do. It he was completely. Overdrafted
there's a reason why teams laid off of, him and,
boy that's safety On sunday where he just decided the
(35:12):
pocket was too hot for him And i'm throwing the
ball out of. Bounds that's such an awful look and
it should be.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
Fair one of our biggest analysts in the sport right
now is a guy who once ran out of the
back Of that is.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
True that IS i, MEAN i take it with the
greatest saw.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
True but there's a reason why he is now talking
about sports and you, know wasn't playing Like that's that's
such an unforgivable moment Where i'm just it's, like it's
Like Jim everett the phantom. Sack i'm gonna go down
it and you don't recover for moments like. That that's
a moment that defines you and what people think of
you as a quarterback and a. Leader, Hey i'm back
(35:48):
to pass in the end. Zone it's not like he
was even getting. It it's, Just, hey things need a little.
Weird So i'm just throwing it out of bounds And
i'm getting an intentional grounding call in the end. Zone
i'm just throwing it to absolutely. Nobody The browns, know
whether they want to or, Not they're going to go
To Shador sanders at some. Point My browns five guys
prediction is coming. True they will start five guys at.
(36:10):
Quarterback and while you would think That sanders would be
someone later on in the, YEAR i got news for, you.
Man if they go to somebody other than him off
Of Dylan, gabriel that's just going to completely wreck the
team BECAUSE i.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
Guarantee you there's wa, wait, wait there's The.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
BROWNS i mean they're, NO i, mean they're who's. Great
but he decided to come back to this after saying
how much he wanted to.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Win oh, yeah, Sure Defensive player of The. Year who's
gonna on the team that's gonna be two and. Fifteen,
no WHAT i mean is that you you run the
risk of ruining the, team ruining the locker, room ruining
your standing as a head, coach because now it seems
like now we're just not gonna go to, him, Right
LIKE i GET i think everybody gets you Started Joe,
Flacco Dylan gabriel was drafting the third. Round what are
you doing by Starting Bailey, zappi who you just signed
(36:59):
a couple of weeks. Ago all that makes it seem
like is we are doing all we can to not
give him the. Job AND i guarantee you Because i've
heard reports And i've seen what people are. Saying, Hey
Shaduur sanders has looked pretty good in, practice, right everything
is look. Good you would see the reps of them
during the, week you would Say Shadoor sanders is a better.
Quarterback So Dylan, gabriel who has clearly Shown, hey, man this,
GUY i don't know IF i mean after this year
(37:21):
in THE, nfl is he really going to have a?
Gig they really? Mean WHAT i mean third round pick
needs to be a, Starter and you Take Dylan gabriel
a thur round, like what are you really? Doing, LIKE
i think we have to take a deeper look at
The browns draft strategy. Overall but if you don't go
to Shador sanders, here you tell the team what are we?
Doing you Tell Miles, garrett what are we?
Speaker 5 (37:40):
Doing?
Speaker 1 (37:40):
Right you tell me what do we? Doing why don't
we give the guy a? Shot he played okay in the,
Preseason he's looked good at. Practice why not if things
are that, bad you could always go back To Dylan.
Gabriel you can kiss he keeps Starting Shador sanders if
you go To bailey. Zappy but what it looks like
if you if you don't go to, him is that
we really want to keep him away from the starting.
Job And i'm, sorry but midway through the, season he's
(38:03):
seen what it is like to prepare to play in THE.
Nfl you gotta give him a, chance and why not
give him more of a chance then just, hey here's
a couple of quick games at the end of the.
Year because let's say you do. That, well, Well Shodo sanders'
is Starting. December what if he has a couple of good. Games,
well now we're stuck because we're picking in the top five,
again and maybe we wind up Getting dante. More maybe
(38:23):
It's Garrett neussmy we're picking later. On there's a lot
of quarterbacks gonna be out. There there'd be a lot
of guys first round talent esque guys to choose, from
maybe not the sure fire number. One we're gonna make
reasons and excuses Why Fernando mendoza And dante more are
gonna go one two most likely in the, draft but,
overall there's a lot of guys there that are gonna
head to THE. Nfl you'll, say maybe this guy could be.
(38:45):
It if you See Chodoor sanders for a couple of,
games you're, stuck, well do we believe in? Him do we?
Not but you see him from the middle of the season,
on you had a much better. Idea SO i GOT
i got a feeling we're a lot closer To Shoudoor
sanders starting for The browns and you think we.
Speaker 4 (38:58):
Are, YEAH i, think as we talked about it last,
week if there was any real noise around the, building
we would have started getting those reports right because early
in the, season going going through the, preseason we waited
with baited breath for each whatever report of how well
he was, throwing, right because that was the thing, is you,
(39:20):
know now we get the minute by minute. Report he's
seven of seven in these red zone, drills and he's
had his. Transgressions he had the little spat with the
reporter right after the preseason. Game but all that to,
say you got to figure out what he is and
unless he's absolutely horrible at the chalkboard and retaining whatever
you're trying to do For stefanski and maybe he didn't want,
(39:42):
him and that shows and to some, degree you, know
when we talk About barry and the, drafting remember these
are the guys that Signed Deshaun watson to a fully
guaranteed deal after he basically put in a year of
operation shut down In.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
Houston so those.
Speaker 4 (40:00):
Are your decision, makers has one And Marry so we've
already raised our hands in that. Regard but you, know
going right, now outside of that win Against, miami your
offense has been running in. Mud, Right judkins had a
game and everybody got excited and then guess, What he's
just a.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
Guy so here you. Are maybe it's a, week maybe
it's two. Weeks november is Sad or. Time november is
going to Be shadoor.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
Time.
Speaker 4 (40:26):
Yeah by the, WAY i don't know that any of
these quarterbacks are the. Answer go draft another defensive. End
you at least got that.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
Right coming up, next what's the biggest thing About game
five of The World. Series we'll tell You. Fox, Yeah
dodgers lost
