for you every single night. Well, it is over in Milwaukee,
and maybe both league championship series are over. Both teams
going back home up to zip the Mariners last night
(01:14):
and now the Dodgers beating the Brewers tonight five to one.
More importantly, a complete game for Yoshinoba Yamamoto, who, again,
just like Blake Snell last night, one at bat didn't
go well and that was it. Right, they're showing shall
In Momoto, snell In Yamamoto the first Dodger complete game
(01:35):
in a playoff since Jose Lima in two thousand and four.
And I feel bad because Frostburg a couple of minutes
ago said, oh, I got a great trivia question for
you guys. You're never gonna get it. I said, what
is it? And he said the last time the Dodgers
pitcher had a complete game in the playoffs. And I
go Hersheiser, No, you're never gonna get it. I know
he's in a two thousand Oh I go Kershaw twenty
(01:56):
fifteen against the Mets. No, no, you're never gonna get it.
We're gonna do it. You're never gonna get it. And
then de Sega says it in the update and then
they just flash it on DNT media. First complete game
since Jose Lima in two thousand and four for the
Dodge two.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Thousand and four Lima that was his one year with
the Dodgers, he went thirteen and five in the regular
season with a four point h seven ERA.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
It was Lima time. Was Lima time, man, That's what
he would like sing the national anthem?
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Right?
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Did he do the national anthem in games? Oh? It
was the best Jose Lima. I think he did. I
think I want to remember that he did that. He
appeared in one game that postseason one game. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Yeah, nine innings, five hits, one walk for strikeout, only
four strikeouts in that complete game. That's a lot of
activity for your defense to pick you up.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Was that against the cheating cards? That was that was? Yeah.
So just to talk about this for a second, right,
you want to talk about baseball history and absolute dominance.
Yamamoto gave up a home run first play of the game.
That's pitch. Yeah, first pitch. You know you got you
the home run for Cherio leading off. That was it.
(03:03):
That's all. He allowed. One hundred and five pitches. I
want to say for Yamamoto in this game, number one,
this is one way to make sure your bullpen doesn't
screw things up for you. Don't go to it right
as long as you get games like this. But the
big point is tell me the last time in the
baseball playoffs a team has had back to back games
(03:23):
pitched like this, this dominant in a playoff. I don't
know that I could tell you. Go back to Arizona, right,
this big a deal. One hit for Blake Snell in
eight innings last night and then rama med guy picked
him off a complete game tonight. You had starting pitchers
seventeen innings, one run, one run, seventeen innings, one run,
(03:46):
four hits, four hits total between Snell and Yamamoto in
the first two games in seventeen innings. What's amazing.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Also, like we talked about the Brewers as a squad, right,
you only have two guys in the regular season with
more than twenty home runs, and one of them barely
got there. And you talk about what they do on
the base paths, how aggressive they are, gnats as they
were called whatever, and Murphy joked about at a bunch,
you know, the pancakes, stuff out of the back pocket,
all of that fun stuff. But if you're not on base,
(04:15):
you can't cause problems with the pitcher. So bad at bats,
we saw them chase out of the zone and Yamamoto
in the ninth was still free and easy, well past
one hundred pitches, right, So maybe more example for Dave Roberts,
you could trust your guy to finish the job, have
someone up in doing the light toss and being ready
(04:35):
to get after that they need to. But the other
thing for Yamamoto, and a lot was made of it
coming into this game, is he appeared against Milwaukee in
the regular season. You go back to a game on
July seventh, didn't get out of the first inning, didn't
get out of the first inning, five runs, allowed three earns,
four hits, two walks, and was chased that fast right
(04:58):
when we talk about bad out, and then you see
the absolute gem tonight after that first pitch because you
could feel it right.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Dodgers has listened to.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
The radio broadcast and and syncing it up and everything,
and they were like, oh, because of what happened last
time out that they just saw and they scattered whatever.
And then you never looked back like we watched it,
just marveling at the location of pitches and and the
way he moved moved the ball around the zone, uh
and had off had them off balance all night. They
(05:30):
weren't hard hit balls like That's the other part right,
a lot of a lot of cannic corn kind of things.
And you saw Andrew Vaughnett the final at bat, waving
at it, and you know, Yamamoto just smiling from here
to ear. Just great, magnificent performance. Look, it's another absolute
gem from Yamamoto. And the thing is is.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
That the Brewers are pretty good, right, best Rector record.
This is not a this is not a team that
hey won their way in. Was an eighty three win
team that won their way in the wildcard? No, but
I'm saying it's like there's a difference between a team
that wins their way in as a wildcard, gets hot
for seven or eight games and then hey, guess what,
(06:13):
we're coming back to earth because we're playing a team
that's incredibly more talented than we are. Right, It's like
if the you know, like obviously the Reds lost the Dodge,
but like if the red snuck in and they get
to this point and it's the Reds Dodgers in the NLCS,
and the Dodgers come out with a couple of games
like this, you would say, Okay, I can expect that
because the Dodgers are a huge step in class up
from the Reds. But this is a really good lineup.
(06:34):
This is a really good team. They had their ace
on the mound today, like this is a game they
absolutely had to have it. Now the NLCS is likely over.
I mean, that's how impressive the Dodgers have been the
first two games. These are two These are two gyms
pitched against the team with the best record in the
National League, and they look like they are just flailing
at the ball. They don't have anything going on like that.
(06:56):
The crowd gets excited when there was a two ball count. Oh, come,
it's a rally. It's like, Wow, that's really desperate. When
it's two and one, o gal, there's a pop up
to short, Oh there's a there's a ground out to
first base like that. I mean, really, I don't know
the last time you have seen back to back games
pitch this dominant in the playoffs. Like I'm trying to
think the last team that happens. I don't know if
(07:16):
it's Copax and Drysdale. I don't know if it's the
Mets in twenty fifteen. I don't know if it's the
the Shilling in Johnson in two thousand, in two thousand
and one, I mean but go back. That's going back
to the nineties like that you're going back on that's
just it. We're going back a long ways. But I
think we can forget about the postseason. It might be
the most dominant one two in the history of Major
(07:36):
League Baseball of these two games for the thirty games
of a series. Yeah, first against NLCS, like this is
out like whoa, whoa.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Let's say, right, this is a Brewers team that swept
the Dodgers in the regular season, right, six six wins
and what was it a ten or eleven day period?
But we're also talking about a Dodger squad that you
didn't have a healthy pitching staff for much of it.
And I mean Yamamoto was there and that was his
worst outing in the by far. And then you see
what they do here, and from my math, is right
(08:05):
up to nothing in best of seven's playoff history when
you win both games on the road, twenty four and three.
So opportunity doth knock for these Dodgers. And I see
it already, and we saw it going back to the
fourth fifth inning. It's like, wow, it was always David
got No. They won ninety seven games and that had
(08:26):
the highest run differential in Major League Baseball this year.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
But they're the little engine that could. Mike, Well, that's
that's what's trying to make you telling me. I mean,
this is this is a good frog. But that's the thing.
This is a really good team. Again. Yeah, they have
the most wins in baseball. I know. It's it's a
really good team that suddenly they made look like a
little league team. And now, honestly, no, that's the thing.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
But Pat, Pat Murphy, like the whole thing was that's
how we play station to station little ball.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
The only thing he got was the home run from
Cherio everything. Every every time they show them, they show
the Maritors in the game and they show Murphy or
someone we're in the hoodie that says, you know, built
for fall. I'm like, yeah, no, no, you're not really that,
not in this series. You're not You're not built for
the fall, man, Look the build the fall.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Right.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
We've talked about these dominant pitching care elevances, but it
all comes back to a guy not leaning into a
pitch and driving home the tying run. Do you want
to talk about the difference of a Major League baseball
season in twenty twenty five We're gonna be talking about
that play forever.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
But uh, this is this is how heady of a
performance we got from selling Young Moto the last two nights,
right is that? Now? My only thought is Okay, either
the Dodgers are gonna get a bounce in the World
Series because you know, can you pitch this well for
another round of the playoffs? Or are they just gonna
saw off bats and it's gonna be a sweep here
(09:43):
and they're gonna sweep the Mariners were watching. That's where
I'm at right now. Boy, they could get a bounce,
but man, it could be a very boring rest of
the postseason where two more games Dodgers coming home and
they're done. Then it'd be a lot of excitement Mariners Dodgers.
But you look at the pitching matchups for both teams, like, man,
I can tell you know, Ball didn't carry that well
in Seattle. I mean, cal rally finds a way, but
(10:05):
oh boy, man, you really want to face Snell and
Yamamoto again and know by the way O Tawny, who's
gonna go in the next game? Like that, that's that's
the that's the pitching staff you feel good about Hey,
maybe the Mariners just feel good about getting to the
World Series. Beat beat the Blue Jays feel good, like
this is how dominant the Dodgers are. Now, this is
I mean, did these last tear it? Mike? I mean,
these these two games, it's been the Brewers have absolutely nothing,
(10:29):
nothing going on. They're not hitting the ball hard. Only
when Blake Snell came out of the game, he was like, hey,
now we got something going on here.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
But that's just it that that's how quickly things can
turn though, And and the door was open, and he
gave him the pitch to just look, man, he would
have had a nice baseball shaped bruise, but he would.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Have been a hero. You know. He talked about to
say that you would have definitely won the game, you know,
but tied it, and you would have had bases loaded.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
And if nothing else, you're now into the Dodger bullpen
that much further.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
You know.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
I liked that they both talked about it, h you know,
because really we're gonna look back and say that was
the moment of the series with the Dodgers up two
zip now going on, But like Murphy and Terang both
talked about it, and Murphy said, you know, it's going
against your instinct and and you know, you know, trying
to you know, protect his play a little bit. And
Terran said, look, I gotta know. I mean, it was
just just instinct for me. And I'm like, I understand that.
And I'm like, okay, I get it, and I get
(11:18):
Murphy protecting his player. Right.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
He also had the kids guards on either side. Yeah, no,
there was. There was gonna be no pushback on anything
you're saying. You're not gonna tell me. You just said
whatever you wanted because he had those kids. Don't do
it in front of my kids. You're not gonna say
I suck in front of my kids. Don't do that.
How many kids as Murphy bring to the post conference
here at fourteen? Hey, here's everybody.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Here's everybody. That's all these kids. You can't get mad
at me, right, these are all pads kids. But I'm sorry,
but yeah, I get that, and I get what Murphy's
trying to do, and and Terrag try to own a
little bit, but I'm like, I'm sorry, but you have
to know going up there, if the pitch is wide,
if the pitch you have to get to first base.
I understand your instinct. Right. Your instinct also can be
(11:58):
the swing at a high pitch, but you got to
lay off it. Right. The instinct can also be I
want to swing it a ball in the dirt, but
you gotta lay off it. It's not like this is
an instinct that you absolutely have to do it. Yes,
you want to get out of the way, but you know,
in this situation, I gotta get hit. I gotta stay
in because this is the world this is the NLCS,
this is our chance at the World Series. And yet
to right, look, it sucked and I did it. And
(12:21):
you know, yes, stepping up for your guys one thing,
but no, it's the same thing. It's the same thing
as Hey, I have to make sure that when I'm batting,
if I see a pitch that I can't bunt, I
gotta pull the back back instead of trying to lay
it down. All these things you have to sometimes resist
your your instincts. This is what's part of being a
pro athlete. It's not just baseball, it's football to it.
(12:42):
I think I can get the ball in this tight window.
Resist that instinct if you're really mean, because that's going
to be an interception. Right, And and you know lots
of quarterbacks can't do that, but that's a case where
you know, going up there, bases loaded, I have to
get to first base, and if I get a pitch
and he just walked a guy right, so you know
he's wild around the plate. If I see it a
point here, I gotta make sure I get down to
(13:02):
first base a gat. Yeah, we're gonna go back and say,
that's the biggest play of this think about it.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
For as dominant as pitching is, that's a play that
will stand as a part of the highlight reel forever
that he didn't.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Take one for the team. Told that as a kid,
and they get mad at you nowadays if you say, look,
you gotta you gotta stand in, mister Buttermaker, I really don't. Stein.
Come on, you want to win, don't you You have?
Mister Buttermaker, it really, it really hurt the last time
I got it. You'll be fine, Stein, get up the
payin pain's memories and forever let's go. I really the
(13:38):
way Stein dis goes. No, mister Buttermaker, I really don't
want to. I really don't want to get it. You
gotta wear it, ah, Stein, You'll be come on, just

I'm the producer of the Paul and Toni Fusco Show.
Usually in these promos they asked you to listen to

Ignore that fool. Listen to the Pauline Tony Fusco Show

Speaker 2 (15:13):
He's still moving.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Once upon a time, not long ago, where people wore
pajamas and lived live slow, where smell was good and
Yamamoto was good, and people were behaving like they ought
too good. There was a two lead. It was misled
by the Milwaukee Brewers. This is what they said. We
can't hit these pitches. We're gonna lose in four. Here's
a pancakes. He's got the kids shields again. Pancake. Yeah,
(15:41):
it's kind of a weird thing to bring your kids
up there. But you know, okay, that's a Pat Murphy. Okay,
EASi to talk about it too. I mean, look how
depressed they look. I mean, if it wasn't tonight. When's
he gonna bring them. He's got two games left. Those
are the only home games. Every time I see this,
I think too. I want to say it was two
(16:01):
thousand and nine, twelve, two thousand and eight, two thousand
and nine when the Lakers won and Metaworld Peace had that.
But we still run our test and he's and he
had a huge game. It was like game six when
they won. He had a huge game at the end.
He had a big shot in the final. That was
game seven. They had seven ye and yeah, right, and
(16:22):
he scored. So everybody's waiting for his postgame right, and
our test comes in and it's literally his entire family.
It's his wife, it's their kids. I think it's his
sister and his sister's kids. There's like twelve people and
he's introducing. Everybody goes, this is my wife, Sheila, this
is my this is my son Jacob, and he goes, oh,
and I'm wrong and uh and you know hey, and
(16:45):
they're all there for his postgame press conference, like twelve people.
It's like that scene from Naked Gun. Here I am
it's you know, uh, Kurt Gadi along with Jim Palmer,
dig Vitel doctor Joy's brothers.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
You know, it's like, what's going on? Yeah, then look
I get it. If you've won a series, I got
my family here. You're down too. Oh all right, man,
can't come at me too hard. Look at kids.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
I can't do it. Can't do it, man, No, no, no, no, no,
whatever you want to ask me. Keep it positive, Let's
keep it. But first introduce yourself. I don't know you.
Let's keep it fine, and I'm Ron. Oh right, you're wrong. Okay,
that's great. Crazy. So we got more baseball coming up
in a bit. Again, the Dodgers put a stranglehold on
the NLCS of two zip. I mean it, are you
trying to look back and find the last time you
(17:29):
had two dominant games in a row by the same team.
This dominant games where you had an eight inning one
hitter in the first game, remember Blake Snell. The last
person to face the those few batters in the first
eight innings of a playoff game was Don Larson in
his perfect game in nineteen fifty six. And then you
had Yamamoto with a complete game tonight. The only damage
(17:54):
first pitch of the game was a home run. No
runs the rest of the way. I mean, this is
all timed. I don't know that we seen back to
back starts like this in the playoffs. This dominant ever,
and I'm going back to whatever happened after Royal Hallidays,
no hitter, all right, whatever after that. I know it
couldn't have been as good as this. Randy Johnson against
the Braves, Okay, complete game, three hits, eleven strikeouts, one walk,
(18:18):
pretty good, pretty good follow up game, No, no, that
didn't work. The follow up kick, Yeah, it went the
other way. Nah, that didn't work. I got excitable and
then got out that didn't work. Never mind, well no, no, no,
actually I never wait wait wait, because the Braves won
game two, okay, and then shilling pitch game three, and
(18:41):
he went up complete game with twelve strikeouts against two walks,
four hits, one in and run. Okay, but but okay, but
there was there was it was interrupted. But dominant doesn't
count that close, doesn't have a crappy game in between.
But those were the two guys I was looking for games.
I would have to say, off the top of my head, right,
(19:03):
here's what I would say on the top of my head.
If it's not if it's not that I would say
either the Mets against the Cubs in twenty fifteen, Yeah,
Aautista suck or Batist, a Smoltz, Maddox, Maddox Glavin. Something
with the Braves in the mid nineties. That's where I
would go back to and say that, because I don't
(19:23):
think you got it with Bumgarner, because I think Bumgarner
pitched every game, pitched for the Giants when they won.
But I would say that that would be my big thing.
It would be Met Mets, Mets NLCS against the Cubs
in twenty fifteen, somewhere in the mid nineties with the Braves.
That's where I would say, you'd find something close before that.
Maybe Coofax and Draw. I'm being serious, maybe Cofax and
(19:45):
Drysdale me really.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Maybe, Hey, when you go back to that Mets series
against the Cubs, it was Harvey Day, but you needed
familiar Cindergard Day, familiar de gram familia.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
And then Bark Colone finished it on It's it's it's
hard like it's okay having a reliever for one inning,
you know, but is it? Is it this dominant? I
don't know that. I don't know. I gave you two
It was interrupted by a bum in the middle. But
that's that's not Internet's not in a row. We said
it's two in a row. Interrupted. I have one game
here that's like me with the with the Jets. Well,
(20:18):
they won this game, then they played really terrible the
next seven games, but then they won that other games.
Now they're two and six. Yeah, I'd love to be too,
right now. You would love to be. I'd love to be.
I'd love to be going to If you had said
to August Jason, hey, how would you feel about being
two and six going to the by be, I'd be
depressed as hell. Instead, now I'm like, oh, no, give
me two and six go to the bye because that
(20:40):
means we wine. Hey, I got news for you, man,
I really have to think about this. No, no, no, no,
get you in a row out of the bike, come on, no,
I got I got, I got news for you. I
have a sneaking suspicion at home Sunday Panthers. The Jets
beat the Panthers even though they can't throw the football
to anybody. I have a step yards rico down on defense.
(21:07):
I have a feeling the Jets defense isn't that good.
Come see what they just did to the Broncos. Oh
my goodness, come on, come on, you can't talk about
the Jets. Everybody trying to wash up the Broncos. They've
been very honey Broncos. They're four and too Broncos. That's
fine though, but they've been on you. If this this
was that was a dominant defense from Snell, and ya
did the Jets now doing?
Speaker 5 (21:29):
Now?
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Now, I really did jam the Jets. I mean I
really do it. I never jammed the Jets. I gotta
go back. Never go full Jets, Never go full Jets.
Don't Jimmy be Jules. So I'm going to quote the
great Dennis Green and his very famous rant after the
Monday night football game for a Northwestern University head coach,
(21:50):
and yeah, you you killed James Franklin. Uh after after
forty nine million dollars, He'll be okay losing to the
Bears and that famous monnight game, Matt Lioner not doing enough.
I think it was the Bears defense had like three
returns for touchdown and I think Devin Haster had three touchdown.
I think he went to the Hall of Fame of
(22:11):
that game, and Dennis Green gave us the Bears are
what we thought they were and we let them off
the hook. Okay, they are who we thought they were.
I say this because of what's going on today with
the Dallas Cowboys. Jerry Jones not on one O, five
to three the Fan, but uh uh, talked today about
what the Cowboys could do at the deadline. Eddie says,
(22:34):
we're not out of it.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
We're in it.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
We're not out of it. And they could add could
add a defensive player. So the Cowboys don't feel they're
out of it, and you shouldn't, right and with that offense,
with that offense, Hey, and Philadelphia has got a bunch
of problems.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Washington just gave away. Yes, I mean, Troy Aikman's got
to shut up with his old luck. It's like, you
know what what because he was a guy you didn't
like and he was able to juke a guy on
the sideline.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
It's luck. Guys mistackles all the time. No, look, come on,
and here's the thing. The Cowboys are terrible, but don't
feel you're out of it. Of course you're two three
and one. Your offense is terrific. Right now, we're gonna
go out and get a defensive player. Oh now you're
gonna worry about defense, right, all the stuff during they
got a defensive they stuck the run. Yeah yeah, let's
oh yeah, no, we're great play more man. We got
(23:24):
Kenny Clark. That's all we needed. We're the best defense.
We're the eighty five Bears against the Runnow because he
made that stupid ass trade with Micah Parsons, Yeah yeah, yeah,
nothing has changed. Okay, the Cowboys are who we thought
they were. They're everything we told you they were gonna
be in the preseason. That's who they are now. That's
(23:46):
who they'll be in two weeks. That's who they'll be
after breakfast. That's who they'll be in November. It's who
they'll be in December. They'll be a five hundred ish team.
That The biggest thing is, don't get in a shootout
with them. You get in a shootout with them, you
will find yourself. You could find yourself on the losing
end of it. But as long as you control their offense. Hey,
their defense is gonna stop anybody, right, but watch out
(24:09):
getting into a shootout. That's what we said early on
in the preseason, right where they traded Michael Parsons. Forget it, man,
this is what this is what you're gonna have. You're
gonna have a team that has trouble winning games, You're
gonna have a team that loses. It's gonna be it's
gonna be terrible, and it's gonna be frustrating. But don't
get in any kind of shootout because the offense is
gonna be terrific. And we talked about Dak Prescott, right,
(24:31):
congratulates everybody who stole that take a few days ago
that we had a couple of weeks ago. This is
the best Dak Prescott I have seen since it came
into the league. Confidence wise, focus wise, leadership wise, whatever
it was. He is taking it on and saying, listen,
we're gonna we may lose, but it's not gonna because
of me, and I'm gonna do make sure I do
everything we can to win games. But look at the
(24:52):
Cowboys season so far. Don't get involved in a shootout.
When did they win games? Giants? Forty thirty seven? What
was that shootout? The tie with Green Bay? What was
that forty forty a shootout? Right? Beating the Jets, right,
thirty seven to twenty two, not really a shootout, But
here you are thirty twenty seven, you allowed three touchdowns
to Bryce Young. Okay, So you look at your losses
(25:13):
and your ties. It's all when you when you've gotten
into gotten into shootouts, and you found a way to win, right,
or you found a way to lose. But that's the thing.
When you get into shootouts, it's a fifty to fifty thing.
But you look at their games. The ones that have
turned out well for them have all been the shootouts.
When they're not they lose, right. And here's a game
where they played Sunday against the Carolina offense where Ricodowdell
(25:36):
is it turning into I don't know, Cadillac Williams when
he first came in the league where they had those
four games of like two hundred yards a game, Like
all of a sudden, Rico Dawdle is running over everybody, right,
and Bryce Young is going up and down the field
on you. When I love Bryce Young. It's a great story.
Carolina is a great story. We'll get that into at
some point in the next next few days. I love Carolina.
I'm so happy for them. But like this is the Cowboys.
(25:59):
They're a team that Hey, if you can go back
and forth in the score. But this is the Cowboys thing.
If we can go back and forth on the score,
if we get out to an early lead, right, we can.
We can try to do that. But if you can't,
you're not gonna win because the Cowboys just aren't good.
They are exactly who we thought they were, and we'd
let them off. They are who we thought they were,
and nothing they do with the deadline is gonna change
(26:19):
that if you're trying to. You can't change your defense
at the deadline, like you can change your offense by
bringing in a wide receiver because you know certain positions
guys can come in and be really effective right away,
wide receiver, running back. Sometimes you can bring it in edge
rusher defensively, right, I'll give you that. Sometimes you can
bring in ed rusher because that's about you know, the
physical dominance you have as a player. Sometimes you can
(26:42):
do that, but really, is he gonna fit in the scheme?
Is he gonna be able to come in and pick
stuff up? What's that gonna be? But generally at the
deadline on defense, you can't do all that much. You can't.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
No, it's gonna be curious to watch how they operate
because even if the trade of Micah Parsons. It's like
the Saquon Barkley leaving the Giants before stand Byen. I
don't think it's a terrible move. Now, the timing of
it sucked, Like that's the thing is all right, refocus
your defense, recalibrate, see what you got, because then we're
gonna be very good defensively necessarily. Anyway, secondary was potentially
(27:13):
a mess because those guys are hurt. They were hurt
coming into camp, they're hurt now, and are you gonna
get them right?
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (27:20):
And then you talk about scheme, whether you're playing man
that was Jerry today we're gonna play more man. Well,
ebraflu Is the zone.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Guy's win been his thing forever. But telling him, hey,
here's the guy that you were banking. Yeah, we're gonna
get this done. We're gonna get that. We didn't get
it done. We traded him with less than a week
to go before the season. I'm not the biggest ebraflus guy,
as we know. And plenty of data, plenty of rants
in the archives of our show. They did them wrong.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
So now now you're trying to pick up the pieces.
But how much was Michael Parson's gonna be worth in
your win total. Half a game, just like Saquon with
the Giants is gonna be a half a game? Isn't
gonna be that much better?
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Now?
Speaker 1 (28:00):
The thing is, though, with Micah Parsons is that is
that how many games like could you? Could I see
there being a couple of times a year? Right, not
not not a butt, but like a couple of times
where it's a tight game. And you know, obviously the
flow of a game is the flow of a game, right,
how well a guy plays. But could I see a
couple of times a year where hey, final drive of
(28:22):
the game, Cowboys are up by a field goal and
Micah Parsons gets to the quarterback and on third down
or fourth down, and all of a sudden that game
is over because of what he can individually do. Yeah,
I can easily see that. I can easily see a
two game flip.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
I love Miah Parson, I mean I love him as
a player, There's no question about him. But again for
the for the Cowboys, again ham handed, how they they
did this in terms of timing ham handed, But if
you look at the larger scheme, and as much as
Jerry may talk, a lot of gibberish.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
I think he actually made sense. I think he had his.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Will Ferrell against James Carville moment of you know, here's
a koaj argument talking about the players that you will
go get because you didn't spend all the money there
because you're already top heavy, and that was gonna take
it to a whole other level, right, And we could
agree that building a team these days, having two guys
(29:14):
on one side of the ball one guy on the other,
that's not gonna win you a lot of football games.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
You got to build a roster.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
So I think the larger scale thing is, yeah, they
made the right move. Did they do it properly?
Speaker 5 (29:28):
No?
Speaker 1 (29:28):
But in that division you still have a puncher's chance
because you're in the middle of the pack in terms
of strength of schedule going forward. And as much as
I love Dart and the Juggernaut, is that sustainable? Are
they gonna win a lot of games suddenly? No? Have
that a hass Exactly exit up about a Fresco exit
swelling down the Jason Smith Show with my best friend
(29:50):
Mike Harman. Again, the Cowboys are exactly who we thought
they eight eight and one. Let's go also exactly who
he thought he was Steve Desager. He's got what's trending
right now in tonight's wide world of sports, as.
Speaker 5 (30:02):
The I have two nominees for what you were talking about.
Awesome when we have seen in baseball history teammates pitching
this well starters back to back in postseason games Stever
and Kuzman. The Todgers are up two games to none
in the NLCS after winning a top seeded Milwaukee again
tonight five.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
To one, and the days of Ring Bond insane.
Speaker 5 (30:27):
Complete game for Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Blake Snell was awesome last
night in Game one. Those two the first starters in
almost a decade to each just throw eight innings or
more in consecutive postseason games for the same team.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
See Cotton Lefty Williams. Oh no, wait, they were bad,
Hang up takes hang on Horn.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
The twenty sixteen playoffs with the Giants started with a
wild card win at the Mets home run in the
ninth against your.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Account.
Speaker 5 (30:56):
That was a Madison Bumgardner complete game, a four hitter,
and then the next game for him to start the
next round, Johnny Cuato through a complete game, but they
lost one nothing at Wrigley, so he didn't pitch the
bottom of the ninth, But that was Bumgardner allowing four hits,
and then Cueto a complete game, allowing three over two.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
That was over two series and they lost a scond.
It was back to back games.
Speaker 5 (31:21):
But this was one hit from Snell allowed in eight
innings last night, and a three hitter and complete game
from Yamamoto tonight. I think the closest we come is
what you referenced with the Don Larson perfect game, because
they were great the Yankees the game before and the
day after in the nineteen fifty six.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Nineteen fifty six, last time we've seen games like the
arena Battista's chill.
Speaker 5 (31:45):
The day before at Yankee Stadium before the Larson perfect game,
it was a complete game from a teammate, but that
was a six hitter, So that was six hits total
in the back to back.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
A six game, zero in the other.
Speaker 5 (31:57):
Then at Brooklyn the very next day after Arson's perfect game,
it was nine innings of shot out baseball from a
guy Bob Turley, who lost to Jackie Robinson's RBI in
the tenth, so lost again. That's as close as we've come. Wow,
this is astounding what we've seen the last two.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Seventy five years to find that I think I have
a cut signature of Bob Turley.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
And the losing pitcher, by the way, was the Milwaukee
Ace tonight. Freddy Peralta pitched into the sixth inning, allowed
two home runs solo shot in the second from Taoscar Hernandez,
solo homer in the six for Max Mounsey. Dodgers up
two games to none in the best of seven. They'll
be hosting games three, four, and if necessary five on
Saturday night. The Dodgers will pitch Tyler glass Now in
(32:40):
Game three on Thursday afternoon. Friday night, Shoheo Tani due
to pitch game number four. The Alcs is off. The
Mariners lead two games to none after two road wins
at Toronto, Game three on FS one in Seattle Wednesday night,
with game four Thursday night in Seattle and veteran pitcher
Max Scherzer due to start for Toronto in game number
(33:00):
four in the NHL. Among the eight games on the schedule,
overtime wins for Montreal against Seattle and for Washington against
Tampa Bay. Vegas leads three to two at Calgary with
two minutes left and at Dallas starting the third Stars
ahead of Minnesota three to zhing. The Dallas Mavericks gave
coach Jason Kidd a multi year extension. Yukon is number
(33:21):
one in the women's basketball preseason poll. And there was
college football tonight. Arkansas State wins on a field goal
final play fifteen fourteen at South Alabama, which is now
one and six. And we do have this soccer note.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Last night we.
Speaker 5 (33:35):
Mentioned that a group of islands off the coast of Africa,
Cape verd is going to the World Cup. They've actually
qualified to come to a tournament that's going to be
hosted by the US next summer. Well qualifying today, South
Africa and Katar punch their tickets to come to North America.
So now more than half the spots are accounted for.
It's going to be expanded forty eight team field whose
(33:58):
Bekastan's going to a World Cup for the first time
the country of Jordan as well. US soccer had an
exhibition winning Colorado to one over Australia tonight.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
Pick do you you think, uh, this is because like, hey,
we got to make it easier for the United States.
We kind of have to advance. So let's put as
many first team teams in as possible or United States
can win.
Speaker 5 (34:16):
They see all the other sports adding rounds and counting
the money and FIFA being I don't know, somewhat familiar
with a dollar is doing the same.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Time how many dollars actually go into the pot versus
someone's pocket.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
Go.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
I think all those teams should be in our group, right,
it should be the United States, South Africa and Mason Verday.
Speaker 6 (34:34):
Tickets open at the stadium. USA have over day exit
up out of Fresca exit swallowing dove. Jason Smith, Mike
Harmon coming up next. If you need a quarterback? Boy,
do I have an idea of a team you should call?
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Jet? Next? Right here? J Well, no, no, no, I mean
a good one for someone who can actually throw the ball.
That's next Jason and Mike Fox.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten t pm Eastern,
seven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon. We got more reaction to what we
just saw in the NLCS. Coming up in about ten minutes. Boy,
do I really have something that's gonna give Smell and
Yamamoto or run for their money. Back to back games.
I don't know. The last time we saw games is
dominant to this? Boy, do you have a couple of
(35:24):
people on social media reaching out to us? Okay, and
I'm taking a look at some of these games, and wow,
there's one series that maybe even better, well maybe even
a series better. It's my team, maybe even better. No,
it's not your series, my team two thousand and five White. No,
it's nice, and I've just let it go. No, I
can go.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
I go back, go back and look at what that. Yeah,
that's a four game dominant. Yeah, I'm going.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
To trash cans. No, nothing, theyquish them. I'm going I
don't know that anything's better than what we've seen than
the one that was brought up, like, oh, let me
go back to that. So we'll get to that coming
up in a few minutes. Yeah, and we don't know
it's for sure. You just know it's true. I just
know it's true exactly two thousand and five. Uh so
it's not gonna be the White sucks. So did you
(36:11):
allow a run in the last three games, then it's
not gonna be Okay, this is not gonna be you.
I'm just saying it's not gonna be you. Enjoy it.
You enjoy the you won the World Series. Enjoy it,
enjoy it, enjoy it, enjoy it. So in the NFL,
if you want a quarterback, and who doesn't at this
point in time, six weeks into the season, I would
(36:34):
call the Dolphins and say would you part with two
a tongue of Vailoa, and I got a feeling the
answer is not gonna be. They're not gonna hang up
on you and say forget it. They're not gonna say
not doing it. It's clear in the last few days
of a couple of things, Mike McDaniel seems to have
(36:56):
the backing of Stephen Ross the Dolphins, even though I think,
well he's going to be gone absolutely, But it seems
like if anybody's got the backing of anybody, it's Mike McDaniel.
What's happened since the Dolphins last game? They blow the
lead again after a big blown lead the week before,
the Dolphins are just absolutely in free fault and after
(37:20):
to a tongue of Iloa said well, we got to
clean some things up, we got to get people coming
to meetings on time. I'm like, Okay, that's a nice
thing to say after the game, but how was that met?
That was met with every quarterback, every pundit that I saw, say,
what is he doing? Why is he airing this to
the media. Why is he saying this? I don't understand.
(37:41):
Even Mike McDaniel had no time for this, saying hey
to it, said some things. You know, I talked to
him about it. You can go get to a tongue
of Iloa who clearly needs a change of scenery, clearly
needs to change. It's that a guy you want that's
airing that out. And unless that was him spelling out
help and he's got the edge of a beach, you're
(38:02):
not giving up a lot for him. You haven't out
in his contract after next year because you're paying them
a lot. So it's not like that. Look, the Dolphins
want to start over. Obviously, they're gonna start over in
a lot of places, right because clearly, look, Tyreek Hill
may never play for them again, all right, They're gonna
start over. Two is not gonna be a part of this.
Even though they paid him again, he's never gotten the
hug from the franchise that has said you're our guy.
(38:25):
Where who you are, it's been Hey, you put up
some numbers and we'll pay you, because we have to
pay a quarterback because we know life is miserable with
that one. But he's just never gotten that hug and
the fact that here he is trying to awkwardly still
show how to lead, Like what does that tell you
about his status in the team? Like how crazy are
they about? Hey, we're getting on Toua's back and he's
(38:45):
gonna carry us all the way through. I have a
sneaking suspicion if you called the Dolphins say what about Tua?
If you don't get something that can be done by
the deadline, you could get something at the end of
the season. Yeah, we're ready to move on. What do
you want. We'll figure out some kind of deal because
the Dophins no, Look, they've tried it with Tua. His
injury history is one thing. But you're just into it
for a big contract for next year because there's an
(39:06):
out after twenty twenty six, So you can say, all right,
we'll keep you and if things go great, okay, things
are great. If not, we're moving on. You know what
for next year fifty six million dollars. But you can
always figure out the money. I just saw him play,
but I want him no market, but I'd rather Jamis
and e W Who would I? Who would I rather
(39:27):
have Tua or justin Field? Justin Fields? No, but he
does get it all.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
Is this a difference maker for us? Like if you're
a contender, is he a guy with an injured starter
that you say, okay, we we take a shot. As
long as Miami agrees to eat a lot of the money,
then may maybe. But like for the Jets, why bother?
You know you're not doing that.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
Well, it's not gonna do it a division. But but
you have seen division.
Speaker 3 (39:55):
I'm just saying, like a flash, he it's so miserable
without a quarters flash.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
If you got Tyreek Hills, teams will take it. Huck,
there's a team that Hey, he's our There's a system
for everybody, right, there's a system for everybody for one year.
Hey we've seen let's see if we can because we're
not getting a quarterback any even it was that system
a couple of years ago with Mike mcdade's not going
a guy anything. Ship is saying, well, the entire ship
is sailed for the dolphins. In general, it's all we're all.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
Starting over down in Florida.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
It's like a pirate ship high. My favorite letter is
R and I live on the sea, but I call
the dolphins. I think they would be a little bit
more receptive to to a tongue of Ailoa trading him
than you think they'd be. Yeah, here's a bucket a
ball Exit OV out of Fresca, exit Swollendome coming up next.
We marvel at what we saw in the NLCS, and
(40:44):
we got the numbers to prove it. That's next.

for you every single night. Well, it is over in Milwaukee,
and maybe both league championship series are over. Both teams
going back home up to zip the Mariners last night
(01:14):
and now the Dodgers beating the Brewers tonight five to one.
More importantly, a complete game for Yoshinoba Yamamoto, who, again,
just like Blake Snell last night, one at bat didn't
go well and that was it. Right, they're showing shall
In Momoto, snell In Yamamoto the first Dodger complete game
(01:35):
in a playoff since Jose Lima in two thousand and four.
And I feel bad because Frostburg a couple of minutes
ago said, oh, I got a great trivia question for
you guys. You're never gonna get it. I said, what
is it? And he said the last time the Dodgers
pitcher had a complete game in the playoffs. And I
go Hersheiser, No, you're never gonna get it. I know
he's in a two thousand Oh I go Kershaw twenty
(01:56):
fifteen against the Mets. No, no, you're never gonna get it.
We're gonna do it. You're never gonna get it. And
then de Sega says it in the update and then
they just flash it on DNT media. First complete game
since Jose Lima in two thousand and four for the
Dodge two.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Thousand and four Lima that was his one year with
the Dodgers, he went thirteen and five in the regular
season with a four point h seven ERA.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
It was Lima time. Was Lima time, man, That's what
he would like sing the national anthem?
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Right?
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Did he do the national anthem in games? Oh? It
was the best Jose Lima. I think he did. I
think I want to remember that he did that. He
appeared in one game that postseason one game. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Yeah, nine innings, five hits, one walk for strikeout, only
four strikeouts in that complete game. That's a lot of
activity for your defense to pick you up.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Was that against the cheating cards? That was that was? Yeah.
So just to talk about this for a second, right,
you want to talk about baseball history and absolute dominance.
Yamamoto gave up a home run first play of the game.
That's pitch. Yeah, first pitch. You know you got you
the home run for Cherio leading off. That was it.
(03:03):
That's all. He allowed. One hundred and five pitches. I
want to say for Yamamoto in this game, number one,
this is one way to make sure your bullpen doesn't
screw things up for you. Don't go to it right
as long as you get games like this. But the
big point is tell me the last time in the
baseball playoffs a team has had back to back games
(03:23):
pitched like this, this dominant in a playoff. I don't
know that I could tell you. Go back to Arizona, right,
this big a deal. One hit for Blake Snell in
eight innings last night and then rama med guy picked
him off a complete game tonight. You had starting pitchers
seventeen innings, one run, one run, seventeen innings, one run,
(03:46):
four hits, four hits total between Snell and Yamamoto in
the first two games in seventeen innings. What's amazing.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Also, like we talked about the Brewers as a squad, right,
you only have two guys in the regular season with
more than twenty home runs, and one of them barely
got there. And you talk about what they do on
the base paths, how aggressive they are, gnats as they
were called whatever, and Murphy joked about at a bunch,
you know, the pancakes, stuff out of the back pocket,
all of that fun stuff. But if you're not on base,
(04:15):
you can't cause problems with the pitcher. So bad at bats,
we saw them chase out of the zone and Yamamoto
in the ninth was still free and easy, well past
one hundred pitches, right, So maybe more example for Dave Roberts,
you could trust your guy to finish the job, have
someone up in doing the light toss and being ready
(04:35):
to get after that they need to. But the other
thing for Yamamoto, and a lot was made of it
coming into this game, is he appeared against Milwaukee in
the regular season. You go back to a game on
July seventh, didn't get out of the first inning, didn't
get out of the first inning, five runs, allowed three earns,
four hits, two walks, and was chased that fast right
(04:58):
when we talk about bad out, and then you see
the absolute gem tonight after that first pitch because you
could feel it right.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Dodgers has listened to.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
The radio broadcast and and syncing it up and everything,
and they were like, oh, because of what happened last
time out that they just saw and they scattered whatever.
And then you never looked back like we watched it,
just marveling at the location of pitches and and the
way he moved moved the ball around the zone, uh
and had off had them off balance all night. They
(05:30):
weren't hard hit balls like That's the other part right,
a lot of a lot of cannic corn kind of things.
And you saw Andrew Vaughnett the final at bat, waving
at it, and you know, Yamamoto just smiling from here
to ear. Just great, magnificent performance. Look, it's another absolute
gem from Yamamoto. And the thing is is.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
That the Brewers are pretty good, right, best Rector record.
This is not a this is not a team that
hey won their way in. Was an eighty three win
team that won their way in the wildcard? No, but
I'm saying it's like there's a difference between a team
that wins their way in as a wildcard, gets hot
for seven or eight games and then hey, guess what,
(06:13):
we're coming back to earth because we're playing a team
that's incredibly more talented than we are. Right, It's like
if the you know, like obviously the Reds lost the Dodge,
but like if the red snuck in and they get
to this point and it's the Reds Dodgers in the NLCS,
and the Dodgers come out with a couple of games
like this, you would say, Okay, I can expect that
because the Dodgers are a huge step in class up
from the Reds. But this is a really good lineup.
(06:34):
This is a really good team. They had their ace
on the mound today, like this is a game they
absolutely had to have it. Now the NLCS is likely over.
I mean, that's how impressive the Dodgers have been the
first two games. These are two These are two gyms
pitched against the team with the best record in the
National League, and they look like they are just flailing
at the ball. They don't have anything going on like that.
(06:56):
The crowd gets excited when there was a two ball count. Oh, come,
it's a rally. It's like, Wow, that's really desperate. When
it's two and one, o gal, there's a pop up
to short, Oh there's a there's a ground out to
first base like that. I mean, really, I don't know
the last time you have seen back to back games
pitch this dominant in the playoffs. Like I'm trying to
think the last team that happens. I don't know if
(07:16):
it's Copax and Drysdale. I don't know if it's the
Mets in twenty fifteen. I don't know if it's the
the Shilling in Johnson in two thousand, in two thousand
and one, I mean but go back. That's going back
to the nineties like that you're going back on that's
just it. We're going back a long ways. But I
think we can forget about the postseason. It might be
the most dominant one two in the history of Major
(07:36):
League Baseball of these two games for the thirty games
of a series. Yeah, first against NLCS, like this is
out like whoa, whoa.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Let's say, right, this is a Brewers team that swept
the Dodgers in the regular season, right, six six wins
and what was it a ten or eleven day period?
But we're also talking about a Dodger squad that you
didn't have a healthy pitching staff for much of it.
And I mean Yamamoto was there and that was his
worst outing in the by far. And then you see
what they do here, and from my math, is right
(08:05):
up to nothing in best of seven's playoff history when
you win both games on the road, twenty four and three.
So opportunity doth knock for these Dodgers. And I see
it already, and we saw it going back to the
fourth fifth inning. It's like, wow, it was always David
got No. They won ninety seven games and that had
(08:26):
the highest run differential in Major League Baseball this year.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
But they're the little engine that could. Mike, Well, that's
that's what's trying to make you telling me. I mean,
this is this is a good frog. But that's the thing.
This is a really good team. Again. Yeah, they have
the most wins in baseball. I know. It's it's a
really good team that suddenly they made look like a
little league team. And now, honestly, no, that's the thing.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
But Pat, Pat Murphy, like the whole thing was that's
how we play station to station little ball.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
The only thing he got was the home run from
Cherio everything. Every every time they show them, they show
the Maritors in the game and they show Murphy or
someone we're in the hoodie that says, you know, built
for fall. I'm like, yeah, no, no, you're not really that,
not in this series. You're not You're not built for
the fall, man, Look the build the fall.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Right.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
We've talked about these dominant pitching care elevances, but it
all comes back to a guy not leaning into a
pitch and driving home the tying run. Do you want
to talk about the difference of a Major League baseball
season in twenty twenty five We're gonna be talking about
that play forever.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
But uh, this is this is how heady of a
performance we got from selling Young Moto the last two nights,
right is that? Now? My only thought is Okay, either
the Dodgers are gonna get a bounce in the World
Series because you know, can you pitch this well for
another round of the playoffs? Or are they just gonna
saw off bats and it's gonna be a sweep here
(09:43):
and they're gonna sweep the Mariners were watching. That's where
I'm at right now. Boy, they could get a bounce,
but man, it could be a very boring rest of
the postseason where two more games Dodgers coming home and
they're done. Then it'd be a lot of excitement Mariners Dodgers.
But you look at the pitching matchups for both teams, like, man,
I can tell you know, Ball didn't carry that well
in Seattle. I mean, cal rally finds a way, but
(10:05):
oh boy, man, you really want to face Snell and
Yamamoto again and know by the way O Tawny, who's
gonna go in the next game? Like that, that's that's
the that's the pitching staff you feel good about Hey,
maybe the Mariners just feel good about getting to the
World Series. Beat beat the Blue Jays feel good, like
this is how dominant the Dodgers are. Now, this is
I mean, did these last tear it? Mike? I mean,
these these two games, it's been the Brewers have absolutely nothing,
(10:29):
nothing going on. They're not hitting the ball hard. Only
when Blake Snell came out of the game, he was like, hey,
now we got something going on here.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
But that's just it that that's how quickly things can
turn though, And and the door was open, and he
gave him the pitch to just look, man, he would
have had a nice baseball shaped bruise, but he would.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Have been a hero. You know. He talked about to
say that you would have definitely won the game, you know,
but tied it, and you would have had bases loaded.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
And if nothing else, you're now into the Dodger bullpen
that much further.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
You know.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
I liked that they both talked about it, h you know,
because really we're gonna look back and say that was
the moment of the series with the Dodgers up two
zip now going on, But like Murphy and Terang both
talked about it, and Murphy said, you know, it's going
against your instinct and and you know, you know, trying
to you know, protect his play a little bit. And
Terran said, look, I gotta know. I mean, it was
just just instinct for me. And I'm like, I understand that.
And I'm like, okay, I get it, and I get
(11:18):
Murphy protecting his player. Right.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
He also had the kids guards on either side. Yeah, no,
there was. There was gonna be no pushback on anything
you're saying. You're not gonna tell me. You just said
whatever you wanted because he had those kids. Don't do
it in front of my kids. You're not gonna say
I suck in front of my kids. Don't do that.
How many kids as Murphy bring to the post conference
here at fourteen? Hey, here's everybody.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Here's everybody. That's all these kids. You can't get mad
at me, right, these are all pads kids. But I'm sorry,
but yeah, I get that, and I get what Murphy's
trying to do, and and Terrag try to own a
little bit, but I'm like, I'm sorry, but you have
to know going up there, if the pitch is wide,
if the pitch you have to get to first base.
I understand your instinct. Right. Your instinct also can be
(11:58):
the swing at a high pitch, but you got to
lay off it. Right. The instinct can also be I
want to swing it a ball in the dirt, but
you gotta lay off it. It's not like this is
an instinct that you absolutely have to do it. Yes,
you want to get out of the way, but you know,
in this situation, I gotta get hit. I gotta stay
in because this is the world this is the NLCS,
this is our chance at the World Series. And yet
to right, look, it sucked and I did it. And
(12:21):
you know, yes, stepping up for your guys one thing,
but no, it's the same thing. It's the same thing
as Hey, I have to make sure that when I'm batting,
if I see a pitch that I can't bunt, I
gotta pull the back back instead of trying to lay
it down. All these things you have to sometimes resist
your your instincts. This is what's part of being a
pro athlete. It's not just baseball, it's football to it.
(12:42):
I think I can get the ball in this tight window.
Resist that instinct if you're really mean, because that's going
to be an interception. Right, And and you know lots
of quarterbacks can't do that, but that's a case where
you know, going up there, bases loaded, I have to
get to first base, and if I get a pitch
and he just walked a guy right, so you know
he's wild around the plate. If I see it a
point here, I gotta make sure I get down to
(13:02):
first base a gat. Yeah, we're gonna go back and say,
that's the biggest play of this think about it.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
For as dominant as pitching is, that's a play that
will stand as a part of the highlight reel forever
that he didn't.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Take one for the team. Told that as a kid,
and they get mad at you nowadays if you say, look,
you gotta you gotta stand in, mister Buttermaker, I really don't. Stein.
Come on, you want to win, don't you You have?
Mister Buttermaker, it really, it really hurt the last time
I got it. You'll be fine, Stein, get up the
payin pain's memories and forever let's go. I really the
(13:38):
way Stein dis goes. No, mister Buttermaker, I really don't
want to. I really don't want to get it. You

Speaker 2 (15:13):
He's still moving.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Once upon a time, not long ago, where people wore
pajamas and lived live slow, where smell was good and
Yamamoto was good, and people were behaving like they ought
too good. There was a two lead. It was misled
by the Milwaukee Brewers. This is what they said. We
can't hit these pitches. We're gonna lose in four. Here's
a pancakes. He's got the kids shields again. Pancake. Yeah,
(15:41):
it's kind of a weird thing to bring your kids
up there. But you know, okay, that's a Pat Murphy. Okay,
EASi to talk about it too. I mean, look how
depressed they look. I mean, if it wasn't tonight. When's
he gonna bring them. He's got two games left. Those
are the only home games. Every time I see this,
I think too. I want to say it was two
(16:01):
thousand and nine, twelve, two thousand and eight, two thousand
and nine when the Lakers won and Metaworld Peace had that.
But we still run our test and he's and he
had a huge game. It was like game six when
they won. He had a huge game at the end.
He had a big shot in the final. That was
game seven. They had seven ye and yeah, right, and
(16:22):
he scored. So everybody's waiting for his postgame right, and
our test comes in and it's literally his entire family.
It's his wife, it's their kids. I think it's his
sister and his sister's kids. There's like twelve people and
he's introducing. Everybody goes, this is my wife, Sheila, this
is my this is my son Jacob, and he goes, oh,
and I'm wrong and uh and you know hey, and
(16:45):
they're all there for his postgame press conference, like twelve people.
It's like that scene from Naked Gun. Here I am
it's you know, uh, Kurt Gadi along with Jim Palmer,
dig Vitel doctor Joy's brothers.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
You know, it's like, what's going on? Yeah, then look
I get it. If you've won a series, I got
my family here. You're down too. Oh all right, man,
can't come at me too hard. Look at kids.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
I can't do it. Can't do it, man, No, no, no, no, no,
whatever you want to ask me. Keep it positive, Let's
keep it. But first introduce yourself. I don't know you.
Let's keep it fine, and I'm Ron. Oh right, you're wrong. Okay,
that's great. Crazy. So we got more baseball coming up
in a bit. Again, the Dodgers put a stranglehold on
the NLCS of two zip. I mean it, are you
trying to look back and find the last time you
(17:29):
had two dominant games in a row by the same team.
This dominant games where you had an eight inning one
hitter in the first game, remember Blake Snell. The last
person to face the those few batters in the first
eight innings of a playoff game was Don Larson in
his perfect game in nineteen fifty six. And then you
had Yamamoto with a complete game tonight. The only damage
(17:54):
first pitch of the game was a home run. No
runs the rest of the way. I mean, this is
all timed. I don't know that we seen back to
back starts like this in the playoffs. This dominant ever,
and I'm going back to whatever happened after Royal Hallidays,
no hitter, all right, whatever after that. I know it
couldn't have been as good as this. Randy Johnson against
the Braves, Okay, complete game, three hits, eleven strikeouts, one walk,
(18:18):
pretty good, pretty good follow up game, No, no, that
didn't work. The follow up kick, Yeah, it went the
other way. Nah, that didn't work. I got excitable and
then got out that didn't work. Never mind, well no, no, no,
actually I never wait wait wait, because the Braves won
game two, okay, and then shilling pitch game three, and
(18:41):
he went up complete game with twelve strikeouts against two walks,
four hits, one in and run. Okay, but but okay, but
there was there was it was interrupted. But dominant doesn't
count that close, doesn't have a crappy game in between.
But those were the two guys I was looking for games.
I would have to say, off the top of my head, right,
(19:03):
here's what I would say on the top of my head.
If it's not if it's not that I would say
either the Mets against the Cubs in twenty fifteen, Yeah,
Aautista suck or Batist, a Smoltz, Maddox, Maddox Glavin. Something
with the Braves in the mid nineties. That's where I
would go back to and say that, because I don't
(19:23):
think you got it with Bumgarner, because I think Bumgarner
pitched every game, pitched for the Giants when they won.
But I would say that that would be my big thing.
It would be Met Mets, Mets NLCS against the Cubs
in twenty fifteen, somewhere in the mid nineties with the Braves.
That's where I would say, you'd find something close before that.
Maybe Coofax and Draw. I'm being serious, maybe Cofax and
(19:45):
Drysdale me really.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Maybe, Hey, when you go back to that Mets series
against the Cubs, it was Harvey Day, but you needed
familiar Cindergard Day, familiar de gram familia.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
And then Bark Colone finished it on It's it's it's
hard like it's okay having a reliever for one inning,
you know, but is it? Is it this dominant? I
don't know that. I don't know. I gave you two
It was interrupted by a bum in the middle. But
that's that's not Internet's not in a row. We said
it's two in a row. Interrupted. I have one game
here that's like me with the with the Jets. Well,
(20:18):
they won this game, then they played really terrible the
next seven games, but then they won that other games.
Now they're two and six. Yeah, I'd love to be too,
right now. You would love to be. I'd love to be.
I'd love to be going to If you had said
to August Jason, hey, how would you feel about being
two and six going to the by be, I'd be
depressed as hell. Instead, now I'm like, oh, no, give
me two and six go to the bye because that
(20:40):
means we wine. Hey, I got news for you, man,
I really have to think about this. No, no, no, no,
get you in a row out of the bike, come on, no,
I got I got, I got news for you. I
have a sneaking suspicion at home Sunday Panthers. The Jets
beat the Panthers even though they can't throw the football
to anybody. I have a step yards rico down on defense.
(21:07):
I have a feeling the Jets defense isn't that good.
Come see what they just did to the Broncos. Oh
my goodness, come on, come on, you can't talk about
the Jets. Everybody trying to wash up the Broncos. They've
been very honey Broncos. They're four and too Broncos. That's
fine though, but they've been on you. If this this
was that was a dominant defense from Snell, and ya
did the Jets now doing?
Speaker 5 (21:29):
Now?
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Now, I really did jam the Jets. I mean I
really do it. I never jammed the Jets. I gotta
go back. Never go full Jets, Never go full Jets.
Don't Jimmy be Jules. So I'm going to quote the
great Dennis Green and his very famous rant after the
Monday night football game for a Northwestern University head coach,
(21:50):
and yeah, you you killed James Franklin. Uh after after
forty nine million dollars, He'll be okay losing to the
Bears and that famous monnight game, Matt Lioner not doing enough.
I think it was the Bears defense had like three
returns for touchdown and I think Devin Haster had three touchdown.
I think he went to the Hall of Fame of
(22:11):
that game, and Dennis Green gave us the Bears are
what we thought they were and we let them off
the hook. Okay, they are who we thought they were.
I say this because of what's going on today with
the Dallas Cowboys. Jerry Jones not on one O, five
to three the Fan, but uh uh, talked today about
what the Cowboys could do at the deadline. Eddie says,
(22:34):
we're not out of it.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
We're in it.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
We're not out of it. And they could add could
add a defensive player. So the Cowboys don't feel they're
out of it, and you shouldn't, right and with that offense,
with that offense, Hey, and Philadelphia has got a bunch
of problems.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Washington just gave away. Yes, I mean, Troy Aikman's got
to shut up with his old luck. It's like, you
know what what because he was a guy you didn't
like and he was able to juke a guy on
the sideline.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
It's luck. Guys mistackles all the time. No, look, come on,
and here's the thing. The Cowboys are terrible, but don't
feel you're out of it. Of course you're two three
and one. Your offense is terrific. Right now, we're gonna
go out and get a defensive player. Oh now you're
gonna worry about defense, right, all the stuff during they
got a defensive they stuck the run. Yeah yeah, let's
oh yeah, no, we're great play more man. We got
(23:24):
Kenny Clark. That's all we needed. We're the best defense.
We're the eighty five Bears against the Runnow because he
made that stupid ass trade with Micah Parsons, Yeah yeah, yeah,
nothing has changed. Okay, the Cowboys are who we thought
they were. They're everything we told you they were gonna
be in the preseason. That's who they are now. That's
(23:46):
who they'll be in two weeks. That's who they'll be
after breakfast. That's who they'll be in November. It's who
they'll be in December. They'll be a five hundred ish team.
That The biggest thing is, don't get in a shootout
with them. You get in a shootout with them, you
will find yourself. You could find yourself on the losing
end of it. But as long as you control their offense. Hey,
their defense is gonna stop anybody, right, but watch out
(24:09):
getting into a shootout. That's what we said early on
in the preseason, right where they traded Michael Parsons. Forget it, man,
this is what this is what you're gonna have. You're
gonna have a team that has trouble winning games, You're
gonna have a team that loses. It's gonna be it's
gonna be terrible, and it's gonna be frustrating. But don't
get in any kind of shootout because the offense is
gonna be terrific. And we talked about Dak Prescott, right,
(24:31):
congratulates everybody who stole that take a few days ago
that we had a couple of weeks ago. This is
the best Dak Prescott I have seen since it came
into the league. Confidence wise, focus wise, leadership wise, whatever
it was. He is taking it on and saying, listen,
we're gonna we may lose, but it's not gonna because
of me, and I'm gonna do make sure I do
everything we can to win games. But look at the
(24:52):
Cowboys season so far. Don't get involved in a shootout.
When did they win games? Giants? Forty thirty seven? What
was that shootout? The tie with Green Bay? What was
that forty forty a shootout? Right? Beating the Jets, right,
thirty seven to twenty two, not really a shootout, But
here you are thirty twenty seven, you allowed three touchdowns
to Bryce Young. Okay, So you look at your losses
(25:13):
and your ties. It's all when you when you've gotten
into gotten into shootouts, and you found a way to win, right,
or you found a way to lose. But that's the thing.
When you get into shootouts, it's a fifty to fifty thing.
But you look at their games. The ones that have
turned out well for them have all been the shootouts.
When they're not they lose, right. And here's a game
where they played Sunday against the Carolina offense where Ricodowdell
(25:36):
is it turning into I don't know, Cadillac Williams when
he first came in the league where they had those
four games of like two hundred yards a game, Like
all of a sudden, Rico Dawdle is running over everybody, right,
and Bryce Young is going up and down the field
on you. When I love Bryce Young. It's a great story.
Carolina is a great story. We'll get that into at
some point in the next next few days. I love Carolina.
I'm so happy for them. But like this is the Cowboys.
(25:59):
They're a team that Hey, if you can go back
and forth in the score. But this is the Cowboys thing.
If we can go back and forth on the score,
if we get out to an early lead, right, we can.
We can try to do that. But if you can't,
you're not gonna win because the Cowboys just aren't good.
They are exactly who we thought they were, and we'd
let them off. They are who we thought they were,
and nothing they do with the deadline is gonna change
(26:19):
that if you're trying to. You can't change your defense
at the deadline, like you can change your offense by
bringing in a wide receiver because you know certain positions
guys can come in and be really effective right away,
wide receiver, running back. Sometimes you can bring it in edge
rusher defensively, right, I'll give you that. Sometimes you can
bring in ed rusher because that's about you know, the
physical dominance you have as a player. Sometimes you can
(26:42):
do that, but really, is he gonna fit in the scheme?
Is he gonna be able to come in and pick
stuff up? What's that gonna be? But generally at the
deadline on defense, you can't do all that much. You can't.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
No, it's gonna be curious to watch how they operate
because even if the trade of Micah Parsons. It's like
the Saquon Barkley leaving the Giants before stand Byen. I
don't think it's a terrible move. Now, the timing of
it sucked, Like that's the thing is all right, refocus
your defense, recalibrate, see what you got, because then we're
gonna be very good defensively necessarily. Anyway, secondary was potentially
(27:13):
a mess because those guys are hurt. They were hurt
coming into camp, they're hurt now, and are you gonna
get them right?
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (27:20):
And then you talk about scheme, whether you're playing man
that was Jerry today we're gonna play more man. Well,
ebraflu Is the zone.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Guy's win been his thing forever. But telling him, hey,
here's the guy that you were banking. Yeah, we're gonna
get this done. We're gonna get that. We didn't get
it done. We traded him with less than a week
to go before the season. I'm not the biggest ebraflus guy,
as we know. And plenty of data, plenty of rants
in the archives of our show. They did them wrong.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
So now now you're trying to pick up the pieces.
But how much was Michael Parson's gonna be worth in
your win total. Half a game, just like Saquon with
the Giants is gonna be a half a game? Isn't
gonna be that much better?
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Now?
Speaker 1 (28:00):
The thing is, though, with Micah Parsons is that is
that how many games like could you? Could I see
there being a couple of times a year? Right, not
not not a butt, but like a couple of times
where it's a tight game. And you know, obviously the
flow of a game is the flow of a game, right,
how well a guy plays. But could I see a
couple of times a year where hey, final drive of
(28:22):
the game, Cowboys are up by a field goal and
Micah Parsons gets to the quarterback and on third down
or fourth down, and all of a sudden that game
is over because of what he can individually do. Yeah,
I can easily see that. I can easily see a
two game flip.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
I love Miah Parson, I mean I love him as
a player, There's no question about him. But again for
the for the Cowboys, again ham handed, how they they
did this in terms of timing ham handed, But if
you look at the larger scheme, and as much as
Jerry may talk, a lot of gibberish.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
I think he actually made sense. I think he had his.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Will Ferrell against James Carville moment of you know, here's
a koaj argument talking about the players that you will
go get because you didn't spend all the money there
because you're already top heavy, and that was gonna take
it to a whole other level, right, And we could
agree that building a team these days, having two guys
(29:14):
on one side of the ball one guy on the other,
that's not gonna win you a lot of football games.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
You got to build a roster.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
So I think the larger scale thing is, yeah, they
made the right move. Did they do it properly?
Speaker 5 (29:28):
No?
Speaker 1 (29:28):
But in that division you still have a puncher's chance
because you're in the middle of the pack in terms
of strength of schedule going forward. And as much as
I love Dart and the Juggernaut, is that sustainable? Are
they gonna win a lot of games suddenly? No? Have
that a hass Exactly exit up about a Fresco exit
swelling down the Jason Smith Show with my best friend
(29:50):
Mike Harman. Again, the Cowboys are exactly who we thought
they eight eight and one. Let's go also exactly who
he thought he was Steve Desager. He's got what's trending
right now in tonight's wide world of sports, as.
Speaker 5 (30:02):
The I have two nominees for what you were talking about.
Awesome when we have seen in baseball history teammates pitching
this well starters back to back in postseason games Stever
and Kuzman. The Todgers are up two games to none
in the NLCS after winning a top seeded Milwaukee again
tonight five.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
To one, and the days of Ring Bond insane.
Speaker 5 (30:27):
Complete game for Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Blake Snell was awesome last
night in Game one. Those two the first starters in
almost a decade to each just throw eight innings or
more in consecutive postseason games for the same team.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
See Cotton Lefty Williams. Oh no, wait, they were bad,
Hang up takes hang on Horn.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
The twenty sixteen playoffs with the Giants started with a
wild card win at the Mets home run in the
ninth against your.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Account.
Speaker 5 (30:56):
That was a Madison Bumgardner complete game, a four hitter,
and then the next game for him to start the
next round, Johnny Cuato through a complete game, but they
lost one nothing at Wrigley, so he didn't pitch the
bottom of the ninth, But that was Bumgardner allowing four hits,
and then Cueto a complete game, allowing three over two.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
That was over two series and they lost a scond.
It was back to back games.
Speaker 5 (31:21):
But this was one hit from Snell allowed in eight
innings last night, and a three hitter and complete game
from Yamamoto tonight. I think the closest we come is
what you referenced with the Don Larson perfect game, because
they were great the Yankees the game before and the
day after in the nineteen fifty six.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Nineteen fifty six, last time we've seen games like the
arena Battista's chill.
Speaker 5 (31:45):
The day before at Yankee Stadium before the Larson perfect game,
it was a complete game from a teammate, but that
was a six hitter, So that was six hits total
in the back to back.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
A six game, zero in the other.
Speaker 5 (31:57):
Then at Brooklyn the very next day after Arson's perfect game,
it was nine innings of shot out baseball from a
guy Bob Turley, who lost to Jackie Robinson's RBI in
the tenth, so lost again. That's as close as we've come. Wow,
this is astounding what we've seen the last two.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Seventy five years to find that I think I have
a cut signature of Bob Turley.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
And the losing pitcher, by the way, was the Milwaukee
Ace tonight. Freddy Peralta pitched into the sixth inning, allowed
two home runs solo shot in the second from Taoscar Hernandez,
solo homer in the six for Max Mounsey. Dodgers up
two games to none in the best of seven. They'll
be hosting games three, four, and if necessary five on
Saturday night. The Dodgers will pitch Tyler glass Now in
(32:40):
Game three on Thursday afternoon. Friday night, Shoheo Tani due
to pitch game number four. The Alcs is off. The
Mariners lead two games to none after two road wins
at Toronto, Game three on FS one in Seattle Wednesday night,
with game four Thursday night in Seattle and veteran pitcher
Max Scherzer due to start for Toronto in game number
(33:00):
four in the NHL. Among the eight games on the schedule,
overtime wins for Montreal against Seattle and for Washington against
Tampa Bay. Vegas leads three to two at Calgary with
two minutes left and at Dallas starting the third Stars
ahead of Minnesota three to zhing. The Dallas Mavericks gave
coach Jason Kidd a multi year extension. Yukon is number
(33:21):
one in the women's basketball preseason poll. And there was
college football tonight. Arkansas State wins on a field goal
final play fifteen fourteen at South Alabama, which is now
one and six. And we do have this soccer note.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Last night we.
Speaker 5 (33:35):
Mentioned that a group of islands off the coast of Africa,
Cape verd is going to the World Cup. They've actually
qualified to come to a tournament that's going to be
hosted by the US next summer. Well qualifying today, South
Africa and Katar punch their tickets to come to North America.
So now more than half the spots are accounted for.
It's going to be expanded forty eight team field whose
(33:58):
Bekastan's going to a World Cup for the first time
the country of Jordan as well. US soccer had an
exhibition winning Colorado to one over Australia tonight.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
Pick do you you think, uh, this is because like, hey,
we got to make it easier for the United States.
We kind of have to advance. So let's put as
many first team teams in as possible or United States
can win.
Speaker 5 (34:16):
They see all the other sports adding rounds and counting
the money and FIFA being I don't know, somewhat familiar
with a dollar is doing the same.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Time how many dollars actually go into the pot versus
someone's pocket.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
Go.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
I think all those teams should be in our group, right,
it should be the United States, South Africa and Mason Verday.
Speaker 6 (34:34):
Tickets open at the stadium. USA have over day exit
up out of Fresca exit swallowing dove. Jason Smith, Mike
Harmon coming up next. If you need a quarterback? Boy,
do I have an idea of a team you should call?
Speaker 1 (34:48):

That's next Jason and Mike Fox.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten t pm Eastern,

Speaker 1 (35:03):
Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon. We got more reaction to what we
just saw in the NLCS. Coming up in about ten minutes. Boy,
do I really have something that's gonna give Smell and
Yamamoto or run for their money. Back to back games.
I don't know. The last time we saw games is
dominant to this? Boy, do you have a couple of
(35:24):
people on social media reaching out to us? Okay, and
I'm taking a look at some of these games, and wow,
there's one series that maybe even better, well maybe even
a series better. It's my team, maybe even better. No,
it's not your series, my team two thousand and five White. No,
it's nice, and I've just let it go. No, I
can go.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
I go back, go back and look at what that. Yeah,
that's a four game dominant. Yeah, I'm going.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
To trash cans. No, nothing, theyquish them. I'm going I
don't know that anything's better than what we've seen than
the one that was brought up, like, oh, let me
go back to that. So we'll get to that coming
up in a few minutes. Yeah, and we don't know
it's for sure. You just know it's true. I just
know it's true exactly two thousand and five. Uh so
it's not gonna be the White sucks. So did you
(36:11):
allow a run in the last three games, then it's
not gonna be Okay, this is not gonna be you.
I'm just saying it's not gonna be you. Enjoy it.
You enjoy the you won the World Series. Enjoy it,
enjoy it, enjoy it, enjoy it. So in the NFL,
if you want a quarterback, and who doesn't at this
point in time, six weeks into the season, I would
(36:34):
call the Dolphins and say would you part with two
a tongue of Vailoa, and I got a feeling the
answer is not gonna be. They're not gonna hang up
on you and say forget it. They're not gonna say
not doing it. It's clear in the last few days
of a couple of things, Mike McDaniel seems to have
(36:56):
the backing of Stephen Ross the Dolphins, even though I think,
well he's going to be gone absolutely, But it seems
like if anybody's got the backing of anybody, it's Mike McDaniel.
What's happened since the Dolphins last game? They blow the
lead again after a big blown lead the week before,
the Dolphins are just absolutely in free fault and after
(37:20):
to a tongue of Iloa said well, we got to
clean some things up, we got to get people coming
to meetings on time. I'm like, Okay, that's a nice
thing to say after the game, but how was that met?
That was met with every quarterback, every pundit that I saw, say,
what is he doing? Why is he airing this to
the media. Why is he saying this? I don't understand.
(37:41):
Even Mike McDaniel had no time for this, saying hey
to it, said some things. You know, I talked to
him about it. You can go get to a tongue
of Iloa who clearly needs a change of scenery, clearly
needs to change. It's that a guy you want that's
airing that out. And unless that was him spelling out
help and he's got the edge of a beach, you're
(38:02):
not giving up a lot for him. You haven't out
in his contract after next year because you're paying them
a lot. So it's not like that. Look, the Dolphins
want to start over. Obviously, they're gonna start over in
a lot of places, right because clearly, look, Tyreek Hill
may never play for them again, all right, They're gonna
start over. Two is not gonna be a part of this.
Even though they paid him again, he's never gotten the
hug from the franchise that has said you're our guy.
(38:25):
Where who you are, it's been Hey, you put up
some numbers and we'll pay you, because we have to
pay a quarterback because we know life is miserable with
that one. But he's just never gotten that hug and
the fact that here he is trying to awkwardly still
show how to lead, Like what does that tell you
about his status in the team? Like how crazy are
they about? Hey, we're getting on Toua's back and he's
(38:45):
gonna carry us all the way through. I have a
sneaking suspicion if you called the Dolphins say what about Tua?
If you don't get something that can be done by
the deadline, you could get something at the end of
the season. Yeah, we're ready to move on. What do
you want. We'll figure out some kind of deal because
the Dophins no, Look, they've tried it with Tua. His
injury history is one thing. But you're just into it
for a big contract for next year because there's an
(39:06):
out after twenty twenty six, So you can say, all right,
we'll keep you and if things go great, okay, things
are great. If not, we're moving on. You know what
for next year fifty six million dollars. But you can
always figure out the money. I just saw him play,
but I want him no market, but I'd rather Jamis
and e W Who would I? Who would I rather
(39:27):
have Tua or justin Field? Justin Fields? No, but he
does get it all.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
Is this a difference maker for us? Like if you're
a contender, is he a guy with an injured starter
that you say, okay, we we take a shot. As
long as Miami agrees to eat a lot of the money,
then may maybe. But like for the Jets, why bother?
You know you're not doing that.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
Well, it's not gonna do it a division. But but
you have seen division.
Speaker 3 (39:55):
I'm just saying, like a flash, he it's so miserable
without a quarters flash.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
If you got Tyreek Hills, teams will take it. Huck,
there's a team that Hey, he's our There's a system
for everybody, right, there's a system for everybody for one year.
Hey we've seen let's see if we can because we're
not getting a quarterback any even it was that system
a couple of years ago with Mike mcdade's not going
a guy anything. Ship is saying, well, the entire ship
is sailed for the dolphins. In general, it's all we're all.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
Starting over down in Florida.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
It's like a pirate ship high. My favorite letter is
R and I live on the sea, but I call
the dolphins. I think they would be a little bit
more receptive to to a tongue of Ailoa trading him
than you think they'd be. Yeah, here's a bucket a
ball Exit OV out of Fresca, exit Swollendome coming up next.
We marvel at what we saw in the NLCS, and
(40:44):
we got the numbers to prove it. That's next.
