Speaker 1 (00:28):
Hello, Welcome inside final hour the show tonight, The Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon. Didn't think
we'd be here, but here's where we are. A game
that is about to hit the five hour mark. The
Tigers and the Mariners tied to to apiece as the
Mariners come to bat in the bottom of the fifteenth inning.
(00:52):
Each team has had numerous chances. They have had runners
in scoring position and extra innings. They've had chances to win.
But the Tigers and Mariners have both come up with
big plays defensively, big pitches to get out of jams.
And this is just simply the best game of the
year in Major League Baseball. Every game doesn't need to
be nine to eight, eleven, ten. The drama in this game,
(01:14):
the intensity. There's been nothing better in all of Major
League Baseball the last six months in the playoffs than
what we've been able to see tonight so far between
the Mariners and the Tigers.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
This is just city making big pitches to induce in
ending double plays, batters second guessing themselves, trying to extend counts,
maybe draw a walk, and then realizing, hey, that ball
cut back over the plate.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Thrown.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
I mean, we've seen a lot of chaos here. It's funny.
I talk to my daughter really quickly, trying to set
up with what's going on on the weekend. She goes,
what's good. I'm like, well, you know, a couple of
college football games that are role And I'm like, but
we got a baseball game? Still go and she goes
West Coast. I'm like, well, I mean it's a playoff
game in the fifteenth inning, and she goes, wait a minute.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
What that sucks?
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Not a baseball fan. All my attempts to hey, let's
go see the Dodgers, let's go down to Anaheim, it's
usually met with now like once upon a time, it
was how much food can I eat? You know? Nine
for nine, you know, and nine challenges and stuff now
it's like, yeah, just categorically no. So it's like that's
got to be the worst. And I tried to explain
(02:26):
it and sell it, and the eyes got wide, nod
the head and then just said, no, Dad, you're not.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Selling me, Like damn it.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
And now eventually someone's gonna throw the final knockout punch.
And I'll tell you what. The entire night, the tech
stream going on between my wife's family that we're all on,
for all of all the baseball fans, they've just been
absolutely insane. It got to a point right around the
eleventh inning where they said, hey, whatever's gonna happen is
(02:53):
gonna happen. Right, What a great game, What a great
thing this is, and it's really unbelievable we've seen. But
then as we got in the fourteenth, I left thirteen
to forty, it's go, come on, we gotta win this game.
We gotta win this game. And now Tommy Kinley is in,
and I'll tell you what, my brother in law, Joe
just said, this is it.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
We're gonna lose.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Now.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Kinley's come in for the Tigers.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Gives up a single to JP Crawford, who hits a
really good pitch right. This pitch is low out of
the zone and he kind of strokes it to center
field for a hit. You can see Kanlee just shaking
his head. After the next pitch, he hits Randy A Rosarina.
So now you have runners at first and second, and
here comes two, three, four for the Mariners. Big dumper
(03:34):
is up with a chance to win the game, first
and second for Seattle. There is nobody out in the
bottom of the fifteenth inning. At some point, someone's gonna
get a hit. At some point, it's gonna happen. It
may happen now, and it would be already, as Steve
Disager told us, it's already the longest winner take all
postseason game in baseball history. Again, Jacks back nights.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
You know if we hadn't seen right, because you've watched
the Dodgers close out a series on an error.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Yep, that's how it goes, man, That's just how it goes.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
And this is where you get into the their doue
kind of mentality.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Oh they're do they're due. Uh
So we just watched cal Riley hit a what not.
You can't call it sacrifice fly because he run didn't score,
but he flies out to center. Both run It wasn't
that deep. Both runners tag up, and so you now
have runners at second and third with one out.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Julio Rodriguez is up.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
You have to assume they're gonna walk them and load
the base. And that's exactly what's happening right now, Jay
Rod taking his all his protective gear off, so they
walk him down to first base. And now the bases
are loaded and one out, bottom of the fifteenth inning.
And boy, I'll tell you what, I love baseball. Man,
I don't know if i'd want to be Tommy Cainley
(04:57):
right now. I don't know, man, I don't I don't
know if that's for me.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Maybe because I'm not a pitcher. Yeah, maybe because I'm
not a pitcher.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
That's I mean, it's a different mentality. As we've talked
about in our years together here at Fox Sports Radio,
that it's a certain type of something between the ears
to be able to do this job and these kind
of pressure situations. And you see even the best of
them guys that are on the come. Yesterday we watched
the air. You know, that momentary lapse of reason to
(05:30):
steal from Pink Floyd for a moment. So we'll see
what Candley can do here, big, big opportunity and on
both sides. Obviously show of record for the Seattle Mariners
going on these many years of picking them. But I'll
tell you what, I'd love some more baseball. Why not?
Speaker 1 (05:49):
So bases loaded, Polanka is up, I can't see, and
Kayley's already thrown two pitches low. He's got him to
wave at one and the other one was a ball.
Now he's outside two and one. He really doesn't want
to get anything up that allow him to hit a
fly ball, right Obviously you don't want that in that situation.
But now you have the bases loaded, you can't put
him anywhere. You gotta come in with something. This is
(06:12):
as big a chance as the Mariners have had to
win this game. A two to one count and he's
got to come in and whoa, Polonco just misses it,
rips one down the line, foul, may get a two
to two count. Now the Mariners look like they're ready
to rush the field. I mean, this is gonna happen. Obviously,
you have the infield in for the Tigers. They have
(06:33):
had a couple of double plays to bail themselves out
of this game right now. But a two to two
count to Polanko, bases loaded, bottom of the fifteenth inning,
Cainley throws ball three. It is a full count. There
is no place to put him. There is no place
to go, full count Polonko. This is rubber hits the
road moment right now in the baseball playoffs.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
We could see.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
The Mariners walk it off right here, or we could
see the Tigers live to.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Play another day.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
And it's a walk off hit. Polanco rips one to
right field. The winning run crosses the plate. The Mariners
are going to the ALCS. They win it in fifteen innings,
three to two. Polanco is getting mobbed. He got a
fastball down the middle and he just ripped it. They
go onto the ALCS and the Tigers go home. Fifteen innings.
(07:27):
The game officially is five hours long. The best game
in Major League Baseball this year, and it's not even close.
The Mariners walk it off and the Tigers sitting in
the dugout ruining what could have happened as they now
go home.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Anytime you get the term ruing in you you've won.
I like that in right, didn't even bother to field
the ball as it rolls to all Yeah. I also
can't wait for the AI generated rant from Tarik School.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
Yeah, I gotta get out of here.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
I did all this stuff. I carried these guys on
my back. Oh man, Wow, what a piece of hitting there, though.
I mean, like bases loaded, trying to keep the ball down,
so you're taking away part of your own strike zone, right,
so you you're you're trying to get him to ground
(08:22):
it and give yourself a force opportunity and instead a
rip to right field just to clinch it.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Yeah, I mean, look, I'd like to say when Canley
came in, I thought, yeah, this game can get to
the sixteenth. But he's just not been real like you Look,
you're down to your your eighth and ninth pitcher. It's
not like it's not like anything you can do.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Jack Morris is not coming through that door. No, it's
not coming through Milt Wilcox.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
D You got Milt Wilcox in the game.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
That's a good one. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Look, this is one of those games, right, This tells
you how good this game was. This is a game
where can you blame the Tigers for the well the
Tigers lost? Did they do anything to lose this game.
Yeah they didn't. They didn't hit with runners in scoring position.
But you know what, the manners didn't hit. The Mariners
made the plays in the field, The Tigers made the
plays in the field. Somebody was gonna win. You get
(09:12):
to the sixteenth inning and you're into the end of
the bullpen, it's just gonna go. It's no longer best
against best, it's whatever the best that's left against the lineup.
And and this is just what this is, just how
it wound up going. This is just a great game.
Look the Tigers. I know it's gonna hurt because you know,
you had Schooble going in this game and he was
(09:32):
so good. But really, you can't you in the end,
you can't. You can't sit back and say anybody, hey,
we just played one of the greatest games we've ever
played in and I'm proud of our team.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
I'm proud of what we accomplished.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
It didn't work out for us, but wow, there's so
many things you can point to in this game to say,
we could have got the runner in here, we could
have got the runner in here, but we did pull
off a double play here, pulled off a double play here,
we got a big strikeout here.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
I mean, this was an absolute war of attrition.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
The Mariners three, the big punch there, the final one
at the end, they win the game. If you want
to look at a moment where it got away from
the Tigers after the bass hit hitting a rose arena
on the first pitch, that's that's where I said, oh,
that's it, because now you have two, three, four coming
up in the Eventually somebody was going to get a
hit for the Marriagers, right, Eventually one of their top
(10:20):
hitters was going to get a hit. They were like,
oh for forty tonight. But when he hit a rose arena,
that's when I said, oh, this is not going to
the sixteenth inning.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
This is absolutely not got.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
It was enough that Flarerty got out of it after
putting two runners on with a couple of walks, and
nobody out like, wow, Flarity got out. That's why if
you're the Tiger said, well, why couldn't Kayley get out
of it? Come on, man, you're asking a lot. Flarity
got out of that jam. He couldn't get out of this. Uh,
And the Mariners go on and it's look, it's just
I appreciate the game. I know the next few hours,
the next day is not gonna be fun for my
(10:50):
wife's family. But this was some kind of game. Again,
best game in baseball this year.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Well, you take some of that anger into the coliseum
and take it out on the USC Trojans tomorrow. Fifteen pitchers,
thirty seven strike at, thirty seven strikeouts and a total
of four hundred and seventy two pitches.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
That's a lot of pitches, man, that's a lot of pitches.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
That's so many pitches or seventy two? Wow?
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Man, So now the ALCS is set. It's the Mariners
and the Blue Jays. What we all said beginning of
the year. Yeah, yeah, marenis blue chair. You're in the seats.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
What we're gonna get?
Speaker 1 (11:32):
And this is the old adage, right, you know when
a team clinches and you know the other team is
coming up, you know it's the champ, it's the deciding game,
and he asks the one team, hey, what do you
want to see? Well, I don't care who wins. I
just want to see like a twenty inning game and
all the pitchers get used. You know, you get that
blah blah blah line. Yeah, whoever comes out of it.
And that's exactly what you got. If you're the Blue Jays,
Hey we got hey, fifteen innings, they use all their pitchers.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Right to everybody.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Absolutely what we wanted. It's gonna be the best.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Is as this game can kept rolling on on X was. Hey,
they're gonna be ready to bring schoolbl back. He's on
regular rest. Yeah, yeah, no, I'm not saying forget, not
even for game one. Yeah, to bring him back in
in the sixteenth or in this.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Game he's rested for nine innings, you bring him right
back in right around for a while.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Yeah, I mean, look out long it was since schoobl
and Kirby were on the mound. Just absolutely insane.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
What a game. Yeah, I mean it was real.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
I mean yeah, he Schooble was out of the game
for an entire game. Like by the he he left
that game, they played a whole game since he.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Left the game.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
I really it was this. This game was absolutely something,
and I mean it like when when the Phillies lost
the Dodgers yesterday. You could we sat back and we
talked about the final play and we broke down show
Hey o Tani not being any good in the playoffs.
Now big a deal that was for the Dodgers, and
he congratulates everybody who took that take today. Uh, but
like tonight, it's like like there's no a lot to
(13:00):
say other than sometimes it's okay to say I appreciate
an incredible baseball game and the drama that we got
and the intensity that playoff baseball brings.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
I don't know how you let out that emotion.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
I assume it's you know, the Tigers fans, their stomach's
unclenched and just you know, okay, I'm turning the TV
off and going to bed.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
I don't know how Mariners fans made.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
It through that whole game, just standing and and and
and biting on the strings of your of your playoff hoodie. Like,
I don't get how you do it, but I am
more than okay, just appreciating how to great a game
this was with so many twists and turns. I mean,
this is baseball, man. This is why I love baseball,
why baseball brings you moments that no other sports do.
Because when you get to the playoffs, from the first
(13:41):
pitch of Game one of any playoff series through till
the end, the intensity just ratchet itself up unlike any
other sport.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Yeah, I mean, Jason, you know we always joke and
and and the old cliche is all hands on deck.
Well they needed all of them. Every guy had to
pick up a mop to try to get to this
thing extended. So just absolutely incredible. But you go into
that box score again a testament to how well uh
and situational pitching. Look at outside of Carpenter, you had
(14:13):
one other player that had a multi hit game. That
was Dingler. He goes two for six otherwise spraying a
couple of base hits around.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Uh well, remember well you had well look it was,
you know, Kerry Carpenter was the new Jeter, you know,
I mean.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
The next day, right, yeah, the breach base. He goes
four for five on the day, reaches base repeatedly, uh intentionally, walked.
I mean, you name it, all of it. But Torres, Green, Torklsen, Keith,
they go a combined oh for twenty three. Rodriguez, he
was one for his last eighteen in the series. Now
(14:51):
he had two walks tonight. Raley had a one for
five night, but hit safely in every game. Our guy
Gino went oh for six celests and Runners on base
like just just an incredible game.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
The Mariners go on to the Alcs, the Tigers go home.
We have more on this game coming up next, as
well as a promise to deliver on the worst bet
and agreement that I've ever made in my life. We
talked about it last night. It's gonna happen. Coming up next,
Jason and Mike.

bullets on the mound.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Here's the Mariners Radio Network three.
Speaker 6 (16:39):

Speaker 2 (17:02):
Out the Blue Jays.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
What of that's the game fifteen days?
Speaker 6 (17:07):
All right, Plato's getting mob out in left field.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Well, I gotta say, I think you hit it right
on the head.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
It is an historic game again, game of the year
in Major League Baseball, and probably from here on out
it'll be the Battle in Seattle.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
I'm pretty sure that's a good one.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
I like that's gonna wind up being what the name
of this game is, Hey, remember the Battle in Seattle,
oh man, fifteen innings Tigers and the Marrigors. Yeah, it
just rolls off the tongue. I feel like, Yep, that's
the name right there, Battle in Seattle.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Go build your T shirt, get it out.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Yeah I was there, bat see.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
But the thing is for me, like instead of wearing
the eye was their T shirts, I would ad the
T shirt would say I was broadcasting during the battle.
Like all the big games in the last twenty years,
I was broadcasting when this.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
You were standing up in the studio.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
I'm standing up in the studio.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
I was there, I saw it.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
I was broadcasting. I was broadcasting.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Broadcast shirt it says like I was broadcasting during and
then have a shirt on the back with all the
great moments in sports history.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
But what I can add to it when I need to?
Speaker 1 (18:12):
I like, I turned the T shirt into somebody and say, hey,
can you add this date battle of Battle of Seattle?
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Okay? Add that on there? Okay, yeah, great, same font,
same everything.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
All right? I mean you just add a nameplate like
the the Sadness jersey for Cleveland.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Okay, oh no, no, good no, But I'm thinking more.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
It looks like a like a like a rock t
shirt where you know the band on the front and
the and the you know the location of the concert,
but on the back it's got the concert tour dates,
like you know, like that's what I'm thinking of. Hey,
I was on the air for all of these great games.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
See, I was thinking you could keep addings, you know, fabric,
So eventually you're like the Undertaker with his cape.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
I'm adding fabric. The shirt goes all the way down to.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Just going to all of a sudden, like you you're Dracula,
sweeping in the floor and getting after him.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
My goodness.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
All right, so hey, let let's uh, let's put a
bow on the game for both of these teams and
then get to a very special few. And I say
very special because I have no idea what it's going
to be.
Speaker 7 (19:11):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
The Tigers go home, and you know what, quite honestly,
you can't look tigers fit. This is one of those
losses where you can't hang your head because it was
a fifteen.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
It was a war.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Yes you didn't you didn't get hit with runners of
scoring position, but you know what, the other team didn't
hit with runners of scoring position. You made double plays.
You got double plays to get out of it. You
had big strikeouts. You walk out of this with your
head held high. And the number one thing you have
to think is we got to go out and get
some offense next year. Like this team just did not
hit at all. The bottom of the lineup hit more
(19:44):
than the top of the lineup, right, like Carpenter held
the top of the top tonight, but I mean overall
in the playoffs, the bottom of the lineup hit more than.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
The top did.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
The Tigers are are a playoff made team, but they
need they need to be able to juice some more
a little bit. They gotta they gotta spend a little
bit of money which they have and go out and
get one or two boppers. Don't gotta go crazy because
this team is this team is terrific, and you don't
want to mess with the with the with the with
the chemistry have it too much. But you need one
(20:13):
or two boppers to put in that lineup something to
jew some runs like that. That's absolutely your number one thing.
I think pitching, you're okay. You know, Melton looks like
he's gonna be one of the next great Tigers pitchers.
You saw how he how he pitched tonight, how he's
pitching the playoffs. But yeah, if you're the Ties, like, Okay,
what do we have to do. We gotta go out
and get a couple of guys again, juice the lineup.
You don't got to spend you know, one hundreds of
millions of dollars, Like you can go out and say, okay, hey,
(20:35):
peede A Lonzo's gonna come here, But you don't gotta
go spend two hundred and fifty million. You need a
couple more Hobby Baias type guys that they can either hey,
come up with big moments, hit with runners in scoring position,
or or give you some type of Riley Green production
and I'll and keep it through the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
Because Riley Green did not keep that going.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
No, he struggled mightily. I mean, you had two thirty
home run hitters in Green and torkal Center. We watched
the rise of Carpenter and we'll see what he can bring.
He's twenty seven. Torklesen at twenty five. Good to see
him back because it looked like he'd been lost right,
had a great season then the down year where the
(21:13):
Boo Birds and everyone were coming out. Now here's the
other part, and this is the plague across Major League Baseball.
You only got one guy in your lineup that hit
better than to sixty. Yeah, so, and that's uh Dingler
hit two seventy eight and one hundred and twenty six
games that he played. Otherwise you're looking at it. Everybody's
like two fifty eight or less. So and that's an epidemic.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Right.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
We talked about it a lot that what you have
eight hitters overall that hit better than three hundred this year. So, uh,
change of a played approaches, et cetera. But to your point, yeah,
some more juice, a lot of guys in that ten
to fifteen home run range. If we are going three outcome,
let's stack it in our favor.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Now for the Mariners who are going on great news
as they're going on. The bad news is it's hard
for me to see them beating the Blue Jays. Uh
cal Rally is having a really good playoff. But when
your three four five hitters are barely hitting sho Heyo
tani level one fit too soon for a time. But yeah,
(22:16):
Jay Rodd's hitting the buck seventy four, Polanco's one eighty two,
Gino Suarez is hitting ninety five, like that's not gonna
get it done against a team.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Gino's looking like Gino Smith in Las Vegas.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Maybe they got rid of the wrong Geno. Maybe they needed.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Geno Smith and not no, But I mean that's hot.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Take the Blue Jays are and look, things can change
from from series to series. But I've watched the Blue
Jays just smack the hell out of the baseball and
I'm not seeing the Mariners do that. And when the
middle of your lineup is struggling like that, yeah, it's
easy for me to see the Blue Jays come out
hitting the ball, getting out to big leads like they
did against the Yankees, and the Mariners having a tough
time playing catch up. Those three, four five got to
(22:56):
flip the switch right away. But the Blue Jays are
playing better baseball, and I expect to see the Blue
Jays in the World Series.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Let's see, Let's see if we can find ourselves some
early series odds for this one. Not up just yet
as we speak, because we still have a game tomorrow
we start the Brewers and the Cubs, so still some
more chaos to come. Maybe we'll get another fifteen inning
game in the middle of a college football Saturday.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Oh sure, why not?
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Right?
Speaker 4 (23:24):
That had to be fantastic.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
I'll be tuned in. Let's go so we'll have more
in this game coming up in a few minutes.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
But right now it's time to pay off the worst
bet and worst agreement I've ever made in my life.
It was Wednesday night and we previewed Thursday night football
between the Giants and the Eagles. That look, you and
I both picked the Eagles. If you can't get well
against the Giants, when can you get well? Alex tige Shirt,
who has just discovered sports even though he's been on
the show now for about eight years, says, JJ, come on,
(23:54):
Giants are gonna win this game by two touchdowns. I go, dude,
come on, man, that's what were you talking about. Man,
that's not happening. All right, If it does, I get
a segment on the show. And I said, deal, because
I never thought that would ever happen. Well, the Giants
won by seventeen, blowing out the Eagles, and so now
Alex Tysher gets a segment to himself here. I don't
(24:15):
know what he's gonna talk about. I just know the
title of it's going to be plant based hot takes.
Speaker 8 (24:22):
You know, what?
Speaker 4 (24:22):
Are you still going with? Plant based hot takes?
Speaker 9 (24:25):
Working title? But I think we'll run with it for now.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Okay, Now, remember the two the two rules. You can't
curse and it's this can't this can't be Okay. It
also can't be some sort of Ponzi scheme where you
ask people for money. Okay, those two things you can't do.
Speaker 8 (24:39):
So this herbalize stuff. I should not promote Herbalize. So
I'm already off to a bad start.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Oh I had by fifteen percent, just typing tighter, just out.
Speaker 9 (24:49):
Man, go cod tight shirts.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
That's what I had ready, all right, all right, so
plant based hot takes at go.
Speaker 8 (24:57):
Okay, So now, gentlemen, I want you all to be
a part of this. What I have is a working idea.
Here is I'm going to give you a hot take
in sports based off of foods. And all I want
to do is after I give it to you, I
want each of you to tell me, don't eat that
or I'd eat that?
Speaker 9 (25:10):
Sound good?
Speaker 4 (25:12):
Yeah, getch you. I'm in turtle makes sense when we
do it, well, just let you know. But that's just it.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
This is a game of improv Yes, babe let fun.
Speaker 8 (25:20):
So MLB was a hot topic tonight. The mantners are
gallivanting through I don't know what hallways right now. I'll
tell you this baseball is starting to come back. And
so my first plant based hot take is MLB is
the new carnivore diet. Would you guys like to know why?
Speaker 4 (25:37):
Why?
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Like that?
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Okay?
Speaker 9 (25:38):
Perfect?
Speaker 8 (25:39):
Steve de Seger loves this robot umpires. I'm just kidding, Steve,
don't hate me. The ABS challenge system is coming into effect.
And if you don't know what that means, and neither
do why, But what I guess it means is that
you can now challenge these calls somehow, and that's pretty cool.
But the thing is, just like the carnivore diet. It
sounds great. There's instant changes. You feel better, lower calories,
(26:00):
you're walking around more spiffier, maybe helping with your diabetes.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Whatever it is.
Speaker 9 (26:04):
The instant change is cool. It's awesome, right Yeah, But
here's the thing.
Speaker 8 (26:09):
There's no long term studies, so we're not sure if
this is actually gonna work out in the long run.
My prediction is that's gonna be all robotics by twenty
thirty with baseball, but as of right now, it's the
carnivore diet. It sounds great instant changes, but I'm not
sure if it's gonna be sustainable long term. So you guys,
don't eat that or eat that.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
I would eat that. Yes, I would eat that. Hey, Hey,
Herman and I do in the PhD diet, we've been
heavy on protein. We've each lost over fifty pounds over
the course of the past few months. People have been
eating meat their whole lives and it's been working out
for them. We know how much you need protein.
Speaker 9 (26:43):
I'd eat that out right, thank you.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
I'm on board. I have no idea how it's gonna
work out for me in the long term, but short term,
I'm feeling good. I'm lean, I'm mean, and I'm creeping Jordan. Look,
I'm fighting towards sister Jane territory. I got fifty years
at me.
Speaker 9 (26:58):
Let's go, Shaye, what do you think I'm eating that? Yeah,
I mean, I'm young, Mike, I'm feeling it. I'm feeling
it all right, beautiful.
Speaker 8 (27:06):
Okay, guys take number two, and now I have to
shout out to the giants because of the reason this
is happening. The Giants, guys are the overnight oats of football.
Speaker 9 (27:15):
Would you like to know why?
Speaker 3 (27:17):
Yes?
Speaker 9 (27:18):
Okay, So now I have two names for you. Okay,
Jackson Dart It's getta boosh, Gotta boosh, gotta boosh.
Speaker 8 (27:25):
We all, Oh my gosh. So now we saw these
two powerhouses. Literally show you, Jason, why I know football,
and I told you exactly what was going to happen.
Speaker 9 (27:35):
I know this dynamic duo.
Speaker 8 (27:36):
They're impenebgrably going to be something that is undefinably gonna
be sustainable if you let it sit for a while.
What I mean by that is, Jason, when you get oatmeal,
we don't like it. It doesn't taste great. It's bland.
So you gotta add some sugar, maybe some spice, maybe
some fruit to it. But what if you let it
sit in the refrigerator with some good oatmeal or something
like that, with maybe oat milk, some whole milk, I
(27:58):
don't know, whatever you want to put in there, some
extra spices, maybe some maple syrup, and guess what happens
when you did the next day, Jason, It's one of
the best things you can have in the rising correct correct. Okay,
So here's the thing. Can we get them a good
one wide receiver, maybe somebody like I don't know, Kyle
Lemon from USC. Next year, I'm predicting they win a
Super Bowl maybe next year. Let them sit, let them cook,
(28:20):
probably be the best thing to eat. So I'm saying
they're the over night oats of football. Jason would eat that,
all right.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
First of all, good looking up the best players in college.
Speaker 9 (28:30):
Thank you so much. I took time doing that and
googling that.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
She did.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Clearly Alex tie Shirt googled best receivers in college football did.
Speaker 9 (28:37):
Yeah, he totally googled that. He definitely, I'd eat that.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Because, hey, because overnight oats is dessert for breakfast, I
can have cookies and cream. I could have strawberries and
cream and what is it, fifteen grams of protein? Sweet
grams of protein. I'd eat that, Alex tie Shirt, Yes, yeah, no, absolutely.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
I mean, look, you kept going with the carnivore thing,
but I like that you added some oats to it
and gave us some grains. Yes, letting it marinate, and
like you say, you can always have your additives. In
this case, it's a top flight wide receiver. I like this.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
It's a good analogy, Thank you, Mike.
Speaker 8 (29:11):
Yeah, sure, I I honestly wasn't feeling it until you
called Morning Time Rising. Yes, and then I was like,
all right, I'm seeing it. I'm seeing the benefits. So no, yeah,
you've you've convinced me, Alex.
Speaker 6 (29:21):
I love it.
Speaker 9 (29:22):
I'm there, I'm there.
Speaker 8 (29:23):
Just remember it's gonna get better even though they're not
addressing the d liner defense.
Speaker 9 (29:26):
But that's okay.
Speaker 8 (29:27):
So the next one, guys, this is my favorite one
so far, Mike, I think you might like this one
because this is one of your favorite players, Lebron James.
Speaker 9 (29:35):
Oh yeah, is raw unfiltered? Honey?
Speaker 4 (29:39):
This unfiltered?
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Honey?
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Yes?
Speaker 9 (29:40):
Okay, do you want to know why?
Speaker 4 (29:42):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (29:43):
Perfect, I'll tell you it never wait what what if
I said no? I have to go to the next topic.
I wrote one more. Thank you Jesus. Yes, because it
never expires, and it's good on anything and every team apparently, Uh,
it's antibacterial and it comes from the most important in bees.
Speaker 9 (30:01):
So why we're all here?
Speaker 8 (30:02):
So? Can the NBA really live without Lebron James? That's
a good question because we've always pondered what would happen
if there was no bees to do all their important
thing they do when they fly around and you know,
spread all the pollen and make everything so flush and loving.
So I said this, Lebron never expires. He's probably never
gonna retire, and if he does, does the NBA survive
without him? So that's why I'm saying, guys, I'm pretty
(30:24):
sure he's ron filtered honey because we can't touch him.
Let it be old, let him sit out the first
beginning of the season and see what happens. Jason, are
you eating that?
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Here's why I eat that because I don't think the
NBA understands all the things that Lebron James does. Yes, right,
they don't understand, just like I think a lot of
people don't know that rawn filtered honey.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
You could pour it on wounds, yes, and it heals.
It's not just something you eat. You could pour it
on your body. People don't know that. Alex, thank you,
I'm eating that.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
As soon as we got the pouring honey onto your body,
I stopped listening. La la la la la la la images.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
I don't need for a hundred attic Come on, Mike,
come on, pour some honey on.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Me because I thought I really thought you were gonna
go down the highway that it was overrated because there's
lots of different varietals of honey out there.
Speaker 8 (31:17):
Well, that's why I think I specified raw and filtered,
you know, because otherwise.
Speaker 9 (31:20):
It's it's all propaganda.
Speaker 8 (31:22):
Well, but that's it, Shay, What are you thinking that
I've I've watched the B movie Alex and I've seen
a world without bees carry and I'll tell you right now,
I haven't seen a world with all Lebron James and
I don't think I want to see that world. It's
it's terrifying, and I'm I'm chouned out on that. I'm
eating that thick, creamy Honey's my man, he's.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
Got cyanica now old they just set in it's a final.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
Maybe he needs raw and filtered honey.
Speaker 9 (31:45):
I'm saying, Jason, you ready for my last one?
Speaker 8 (31:47):
Here? Ready Bass Hot Tanks Jason Smith's Show with Mike
Carmen and Jason Smith High. I wasn't going to say
this about the WNBA. It is the cauliflower of sports.
Speaker 9 (31:59):
Would you like to know why?
Speaker 4 (32:00):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (32:01):
Okay, yeah, there's no real substance. But you feel good
after watching it, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, okay,
so now let me tell you why. It's a different
concept of what we're used to watching. It's now getting
the limelight. Caitlin Clark is like the pizza spot you
just talked about. You went there and you're like, oh,
there's cauliflower crusts. I'm used to gluten free or maybe wholeheat.
(32:22):
What is this cauliflower?
Speaker 4 (32:23):
You eat it.
Speaker 8 (32:24):
It's lighter, it's easier, it's breezier, and then you're funny
to think about it. I actually feel better. So maybe
sports was just a little too drastic, and now watching WNBA,
I feel better. I'm enjoying sports and seeing that, Oh
maybe there's more to go around than I thought, and
there's better ways to eat pizza than I was enjoying before,
and maybe it could be better for me. So I'm
saying this, the WNBA, it's a cauliflower sports Jason eating that.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
I'm eating that because it's got you more interested in sports. Yes,
and I am very happy for that, and I will
I will take that.
Speaker 4 (32:54):
Look.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
I love the WNBA. It's so much fun to talk about,
but because it gets you into sports, I'm eating Tyshirt.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Well, I'm also gonna go there because you've disparaged cauliflower
for many years. Now you finally found a use for
it and positivity, just like you're getting on board the
WNBA way to go.
Speaker 9 (33:11):
Thank you, Shay.
Speaker 8 (33:13):
All Right, I'm gonna I'm gonna spit cauliflower on this one.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm not feeling it. I'm not
I like buffalo cauliflower. Just there's something missing. Is the
same way there's something missing from the w NBA, at
least this season. That's all I'm gonna say. I'm gonna
leave it at that.
Speaker 9 (33:28):
All right.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
So there it is, Alex ty Shirt. Would you eat
that plant based hot takes? I didngratulations at disratulations Nice.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
I'm on board this. Nice Jo.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Time out to find out what's trending in the wide
world sports for man who I'm sure is going okay,
I don't know what that was, but I'm just gonna
tell you what's trending.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
It's Steve to say that.
Speaker 10 (33:49):
In fifteen innings, Seattle'll beat to Troy three to two,
game fly for the best of five Al Division series.
Mariners offense struck out twenty times and advanced in the
ALC starts This Sunday night on Fox TV EMS at Toronto.
Tonight's was the biggest winner take all, our longest winner
take all playoff game in history, one of the biggest
(34:09):
nights in Seattle sports history. The win to Luis Castillo,
the loss to Tommy Kinley, game winning single Jorge Polonco.
Trek Scoubel was the Detroit starter. Six innings, thirteen strikeouts,
no walks, that included a playoff record seventh straight strikeouts.
The game lasted nearly five hours. Kerry Carpenter of the
Tigers had four hits and two walks. The rest of
(34:32):
the team was four for forty six at the plate.
Speaker 7 (34:35):
Just in the extra innings of this one, seventeen different
batters reached safely. That ties for the most in extras
in any postseason game. It ties with the Dodgers eighteen
inning World Series game beating Boston in twenty eighteen, and
it ties with the Robin Ventura Metz Grand Slam against
the Braves in nineteen ninety nine as well. So, now,
(34:58):
what is the record of home teams all time in
winner take all postseason games. It's up to five hundred
Mariners win at home tonight. Home team's now sixty seven
and sixty seven all time in winner take all postseason
ball games.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
Yeah, but what are the record of the visiting teams?
Speaker 10 (35:17):
Probably sixty seven and sixty seven.
Speaker 9 (35:21):
We'll get the crack staff on that.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
I want to make sure.
Speaker 7 (35:23):
It's Saturday Nights in the National League comes at Milwaukee
a game five to end the Division Series round and
college football wins for Washington, Colorado State and for number
twenty four South Florida WNBA Finals with Las Vegas getting
a four game sweep, ending everything. With the win at
Phoenix tonight, ninety seven eighty six Asia Wilson Finals MVP,
(35:45):
she had thirty one points. Vegas has won the title
three of the last four years. NHL was off tonight,
us Man Soccer tied its exhibition against Ecuador one to
one in Austin, Texas.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Back to you, Thank you, Steve The Jason Smith Show

with a flourish coming off of this game. Final thoughts
on Mariners Tigers end.
Speaker 4 (36:06):

the biggest games in the NFL This weekend. That's next
right here, Jason to Mike. Fox Sports Radio.

Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven

The Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon
live from the Fox Sports Radio Studios.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Game of the Year in Major League Baseball fifteen innings,
we watch the Mariners move on to the Alcs. Tell
you what you're not gonna go. I don't think you
get a lot of arguments about how great a game
this was. Eventually there'll be a better game in the
playoffs that we'll say, well, but I don't know when
that's coming, because this has set the bar pretty high
(36:52):
for the next little bit. Again, all games don't need
to be nine to eight, eight, seven, eleven, ten, sometimes three,
two and fifteen innings with chances and teams getting out
of it and finding ways. Yeah, that's all the drama
that you need. And sometimes you can just appreciate a
game for how great it is and say, yeah, it
was just that great and that's what the Tigers and
the Mariners gave us.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
Yeah, I know, we get into the phraseology of being
as some might say the prisoner of the moment. You
just have to accept greatness when it finds you, right,
Schooble was gone after six innings. We watched a full
game after and he was the first guy on the
top of the step at every half inning to meet
the guys as they came off the field. So, I mean,
(37:34):
just greatness, a lot of opportunities, twenty twenty two runners
left on base altogether, a bunch of inning ending double plays.
I mean, it had it all.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Really, you can just appreciate that game and appreciate the
greatness and how well it was played and the intensity
that it was there. That's playoff baseball one hundred percent.
Can't wait for the alcy. The NLCS will know after tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
And it didn't include either the Dodgers or the Yankees.
So you are watching up their teams, celebrating up their teams.
Speaker 4 (38:09):
Teams in Seattle and Detroit until three o'clock in the morning.
We watched it all.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
Okay, so three of the biggest games this week in
the NFL. You ready, Mike Harmon, hit me all right?
Detroit and Kansas City. Oh, Kansas City's not gonna lose again.
They can't lose again to go to two and four.
Guess what Kansas City's losing again. The Lions right now
are the best team in the NFL, and they fixed
their Week one issues really quick. I can't see how
(38:35):
the Chiefs offense keeps up in this game. They're already teetering.
They're not gonna have their weapons for at least another game.
Detroit's defense is even better than twenty twenty four. Maybe
they've upgraded the DC wait for it, you'll get it
in the second. But I'll tell you what. Mahomes will
do all he can because it's what he's done so far.
He's been outstanding. But Lions pull away win this big
(38:56):
thirty eight to seventeen. Give me Detroit.
Speaker 3 (38:58):
Yeah, we had a pretty good job against opposing quarterbacks
thus far. Spagnola in that defense. As much as we've
talked about the lack of effort in the final minute,
you know on that play against Jacksonville, but all that
in Jared goff in this offense, they're they're hummering, and
you get the balance with what you got from Montgomery
(39:20):
and Gibbs. So yeah, give me Detroit to win this one.
Do you going over fifty three? Oh yeah, way over.
I'll go out for three for halftime in this game.
Speaker 4 (39:28):
Oh nice.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
How about Cincinnati and Green Bay Joe Flacco's first start.
You know what, I've seen green Bay be flat coming
off buys before. He's already beaten them one time earlier.
This year, he's got better weapons. I think Joe Flacco
goes for two fifty a couple of touchdowns. We've seen
this from Flacco before, and now he's got a much
better team around him. Give me a big start. We're
(39:51):
talking about Flacco and getting the way back machine. I'll
take the Bengals in an upset on the field, in
a shootout over the back.
Speaker 4 (39:58):
That is absolutely cool.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
I'm not gonna take him to win, but they give
him some sweats and we actually get some activation for
Higgins and Brown finally, and we push well over that
forty four and a half.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
You want another upset, I'll stay in the division. I
sort of like Dylan Chad Pennington. Gabriel Smart as a
leader by his arm strength is something pop gun, but
his sum is greater than his parts. He was impressive
when he started, and again he'll be impressive here in
a win because the Browns defense is elite. They will
(40:33):
give Pittsburgh's offense trouble. I'm not believing in Pittsburgh. The
defense does it again. I love the under in this one,
and I'll give you a fantasy bonus. Judkins goes for
over one hundred yards on twenty five or more carries.
Speaker 3 (40:45):
Ready, I one more upset as we go out the door.
News at Home takes down Drake May and New England.
Speaker 1 (40:50):
Oh look at you got the Spencer Rattler train my
card plus three Twitter at out about a Fresco Mike
at Swollen. Don't from Mike, I'm Jason. Coming up next.

If you're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Hello, Welcome inside final hour the show tonight, The Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon. Didn't think
we'd be here, but here's where we are. A game
that is about to hit the five hour mark. The
Tigers and the Mariners tied to to apiece as the
Mariners come to bat in the bottom of the fifteenth inning.
(00:52):
Each team has had numerous chances. They have had runners
in scoring position and extra innings. They've had chances to win.
But the Tigers and Mariners have both come up with
big plays defensively, big pitches to get out of jams.
And this is just simply the best game of the
year in Major League Baseball. Every game doesn't need to
be nine to eight, eleven, ten. The drama in this game,
(01:14):
the intensity. There's been nothing better in all of Major
League Baseball the last six months in the playoffs than
what we've been able to see tonight so far between
the Mariners and the Tigers.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
This is just city making big pitches to induce in
ending double plays, batters second guessing themselves, trying to extend counts,
maybe draw a walk, and then realizing, hey, that ball
cut back over the plate.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Thrown.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
I mean, we've seen a lot of chaos here. It's funny.
I talk to my daughter really quickly, trying to set
up with what's going on on the weekend. She goes,
what's good. I'm like, well, you know, a couple of
college football games that are role And I'm like, but
we got a baseball game? Still go and she goes
West Coast. I'm like, well, I mean it's a playoff
game in the fifteenth inning, and she goes, wait a minute.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
What that sucks?
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Not a baseball fan. All my attempts to hey, let's
go see the Dodgers, let's go down to Anaheim, it's
usually met with now like once upon a time, it
was how much food can I eat? You know? Nine
for nine, you know, and nine challenges and stuff now
it's like, yeah, just categorically no. So it's like that's
got to be the worst. And I tried to explain
(02:26):
it and sell it, and the eyes got wide, nod
the head and then just said, no, Dad, you're not.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Selling me, Like damn it.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
And now eventually someone's gonna throw the final knockout punch.
And I'll tell you what. The entire night, the tech
stream going on between my wife's family that we're all on,
for all of all the baseball fans, they've just been
absolutely insane. It got to a point right around the
eleventh inning where they said, hey, whatever's gonna happen is
(02:53):
gonna happen. Right, What a great game, What a great
thing this is, and it's really unbelievable we've seen. But
then as we got in the fourteenth, I left thirteen
to forty, it's go, come on, we gotta win this game.
We gotta win this game. And now Tommy Kinley is in,
and I'll tell you what, my brother in law, Joe
just said, this is it.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
We're gonna lose.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Now.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Kinley's come in for the Tigers.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Gives up a single to JP Crawford, who hits a
really good pitch right. This pitch is low out of
the zone and he kind of strokes it to center
field for a hit. You can see Kanlee just shaking
his head. After the next pitch, he hits Randy A Rosarina.
So now you have runners at first and second, and
here comes two, three, four for the Mariners. Big dumper
(03:34):
is up with a chance to win the game, first
and second for Seattle. There is nobody out in the
bottom of the fifteenth inning. At some point, someone's gonna
get a hit. At some point, it's gonna happen. It
may happen now, and it would be already, as Steve
Disager told us, it's already the longest winner take all
postseason game in baseball history. Again, Jacks back nights.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
You know if we hadn't seen right, because you've watched
the Dodgers close out a series on an error.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Yep, that's how it goes, man, That's just how it goes.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
And this is where you get into the their doue
kind of mentality.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Oh they're do they're due. Uh
So we just watched cal Riley hit a what not.
You can't call it sacrifice fly because he run didn't score,
but he flies out to center. Both run It wasn't
that deep. Both runners tag up, and so you now
have runners at second and third with one out.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Julio Rodriguez is up.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
You have to assume they're gonna walk them and load
the base. And that's exactly what's happening right now, Jay
Rod taking his all his protective gear off, so they
walk him down to first base. And now the bases
are loaded and one out, bottom of the fifteenth inning.
And boy, I'll tell you what, I love baseball. Man,
I don't know if i'd want to be Tommy Cainley
(04:57):
right now. I don't know, man, I don't I don't
know if that's for me.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Maybe because I'm not a pitcher. Yeah, maybe because I'm
not a pitcher.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
That's I mean, it's a different mentality. As we've talked
about in our years together here at Fox Sports Radio,
that it's a certain type of something between the ears
to be able to do this job and these kind
of pressure situations. And you see even the best of
them guys that are on the come. Yesterday we watched
the air. You know, that momentary lapse of reason to
(05:30):
steal from Pink Floyd for a moment. So we'll see
what Candley can do here, big, big opportunity and on
both sides. Obviously show of record for the Seattle Mariners
going on these many years of picking them. But I'll
tell you what, I'd love some more baseball. Why not?
Speaker 1 (05:49):
So bases loaded, Polanka is up, I can't see, and
Kayley's already thrown two pitches low. He's got him to
wave at one and the other one was a ball.
Now he's outside two and one. He really doesn't want
to get anything up that allow him to hit a
fly ball, right Obviously you don't want that in that situation.
But now you have the bases loaded, you can't put
him anywhere. You gotta come in with something. This is
(06:12):
as big a chance as the Mariners have had to
win this game. A two to one count and he's
got to come in and whoa, Polonco just misses it,
rips one down the line, foul, may get a two
to two count. Now the Mariners look like they're ready
to rush the field. I mean, this is gonna happen. Obviously,
you have the infield in for the Tigers. They have
(06:33):
had a couple of double plays to bail themselves out
of this game right now. But a two to two
count to Polanko, bases loaded, bottom of the fifteenth inning,
Cainley throws ball three. It is a full count. There
is no place to put him. There is no place
to go, full count Polonko. This is rubber hits the
road moment right now in the baseball playoffs.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
We could see.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
The Mariners walk it off right here, or we could
see the Tigers live to.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Play another day.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
And it's a walk off hit. Polanco rips one to
right field. The winning run crosses the plate. The Mariners
are going to the ALCS. They win it in fifteen innings,
three to two. Polanco is getting mobbed. He got a
fastball down the middle and he just ripped it. They
go onto the ALCS and the Tigers go home. Fifteen innings.
(07:27):
The game officially is five hours long. The best game
in Major League Baseball this year, and it's not even close.
The Mariners walk it off and the Tigers sitting in
the dugout ruining what could have happened as they now
go home.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Anytime you get the term ruing in you you've won.
I like that in right, didn't even bother to field
the ball as it rolls to all Yeah. I also
can't wait for the AI generated rant from Tarik School.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
Yeah, I gotta get out of here.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
I did all this stuff. I carried these guys on
my back. Oh man, Wow, what a piece of hitting there, though.
I mean, like bases loaded, trying to keep the ball down,
so you're taking away part of your own strike zone, right,
so you you're you're trying to get him to ground
(08:22):
it and give yourself a force opportunity and instead a
rip to right field just to clinch it.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Yeah, I mean, look, I'd like to say when Canley
came in, I thought, yeah, this game can get to
the sixteenth. But he's just not been real like you Look,
you're down to your your eighth and ninth pitcher. It's
not like it's not like anything you can do.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Jack Morris is not coming through that door. No, it's
not coming through Milt Wilcox.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
D You got Milt Wilcox in the game.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
That's a good one. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Look, this is one of those games, right, This tells
you how good this game was. This is a game
where can you blame the Tigers for the well the
Tigers lost? Did they do anything to lose this game.
Yeah they didn't. They didn't hit with runners in scoring position.
But you know what, the manners didn't hit. The Mariners
made the plays in the field, The Tigers made the
plays in the field. Somebody was gonna win. You get
(09:12):
to the sixteenth inning and you're into the end of
the bullpen, it's just gonna go. It's no longer best
against best, it's whatever the best that's left against the lineup.
And and this is just what this is, just how
it wound up going. This is just a great game.
Look the Tigers. I know it's gonna hurt because you know,
you had Schooble going in this game and he was
(09:32):
so good. But really, you can't you in the end,
you can't. You can't sit back and say anybody, hey,
we just played one of the greatest games we've ever
played in and I'm proud of our team.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
I'm proud of what we accomplished.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
It didn't work out for us, but wow, there's so
many things you can point to in this game to say,
we could have got the runner in here, we could
have got the runner in here, but we did pull
off a double play here, pulled off a double play here,
we got a big strikeout here.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
I mean, this was an absolute war of attrition.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
The Mariners three, the big punch there, the final one
at the end, they win the game. If you want
to look at a moment where it got away from
the Tigers after the bass hit hitting a rose arena
on the first pitch, that's that's where I said, oh,
that's it, because now you have two, three, four coming
up in the Eventually somebody was going to get a
hit for the Marriagers, right, Eventually one of their top
(10:20):
hitters was going to get a hit. They were like,
oh for forty tonight. But when he hit a rose arena,
that's when I said, oh, this is not going to
the sixteenth inning.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
This is absolutely not got.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
It was enough that Flarerty got out of it after
putting two runners on with a couple of walks, and
nobody out like, wow, Flarity got out. That's why if
you're the Tiger said, well, why couldn't Kayley get out
of it? Come on, man, you're asking a lot. Flarity
got out of that jam. He couldn't get out of this. Uh,
And the Mariners go on and it's look, it's just
I appreciate the game. I know the next few hours,
the next day is not gonna be fun for my
(10:50):
wife's family. But this was some kind of game. Again,
best game in baseball this year.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Well, you take some of that anger into the coliseum
and take it out on the USC Trojans tomorrow. Fifteen pitchers,
thirty seven strike at, thirty seven strikeouts and a total
of four hundred and seventy two pitches.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
That's a lot of pitches, man, that's a lot of pitches.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
That's so many pitches or seventy two? Wow?
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Man, So now the ALCS is set. It's the Mariners
and the Blue Jays. What we all said beginning of
the year. Yeah, yeah, marenis blue chair. You're in the seats.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
What we're gonna get?
Speaker 1 (11:32):
And this is the old adage, right, you know when
a team clinches and you know the other team is
coming up, you know it's the champ, it's the deciding game,
and he asks the one team, hey, what do you
want to see? Well, I don't care who wins. I
just want to see like a twenty inning game and
all the pitchers get used. You know, you get that
blah blah blah line. Yeah, whoever comes out of it.
And that's exactly what you got. If you're the Blue Jays,
Hey we got hey, fifteen innings, they use all their pitchers.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Right to everybody.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Absolutely what we wanted. It's gonna be the best.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Is as this game can kept rolling on on X was. Hey,
they're gonna be ready to bring schoolbl back. He's on
regular rest. Yeah, yeah, no, I'm not saying forget, not
even for game one. Yeah, to bring him back in
in the sixteenth or in this.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Game he's rested for nine innings, you bring him right
back in right around for a while.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Yeah, I mean, look out long it was since schoobl
and Kirby were on the mound. Just absolutely insane.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
What a game. Yeah, I mean it was real.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
I mean yeah, he Schooble was out of the game
for an entire game. Like by the he he left
that game, they played a whole game since he.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Left the game.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
I really it was this. This game was absolutely something,
and I mean it like when when the Phillies lost
the Dodgers yesterday. You could we sat back and we
talked about the final play and we broke down show
Hey o Tani not being any good in the playoffs.
Now big a deal that was for the Dodgers, and
he congratulates everybody who took that take today. Uh, but
like tonight, it's like like there's no a lot to
(13:00):
say other than sometimes it's okay to say I appreciate
an incredible baseball game and the drama that we got
and the intensity that playoff baseball brings.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
I don't know how you let out that emotion.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
I assume it's you know, the Tigers fans, their stomach's
unclenched and just you know, okay, I'm turning the TV
off and going to bed.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
I don't know how Mariners fans made.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
It through that whole game, just standing and and and
and biting on the strings of your of your playoff hoodie. Like,
I don't get how you do it, but I am
more than okay, just appreciating how to great a game
this was with so many twists and turns. I mean,
this is baseball, man. This is why I love baseball,
why baseball brings you moments that no other sports do.
Because when you get to the playoffs, from the first
(13:41):
pitch of Game one of any playoff series through till
the end, the intensity just ratchet itself up unlike any
other sport.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Yeah, I mean, Jason, you know we always joke and
and and the old cliche is all hands on deck.
Well they needed all of them. Every guy had to
pick up a mop to try to get to this
thing extended. So just absolutely incredible. But you go into
that box score again a testament to how well uh
and situational pitching. Look at outside of Carpenter, you had
(14:13):
one other player that had a multi hit game. That
was Dingler. He goes two for six otherwise spraying a
couple of base hits around.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Uh well, remember well you had well look it was,
you know, Kerry Carpenter was the new Jeter, you know,
I mean.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
The next day, right, yeah, the breach base. He goes
four for five on the day, reaches base repeatedly, uh intentionally, walked.
I mean, you name it, all of it. But Torres, Green, Torklsen, Keith,
they go a combined oh for twenty three. Rodriguez, he
was one for his last eighteen in the series. Now
(14:51):
he had two walks tonight. Raley had a one for
five night, but hit safely in every game. Our guy
Gino went oh for six celests and Runners on base
like just just an incredible game.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
The Mariners go on to the Alcs, the Tigers go home.
We have more on this game coming up next, as
well as a promise to deliver on the worst bet
and agreement that I've ever made in my life. We
talked about it last night. It's gonna happen. Coming up next,
Jason and Mike.

by play? Sound basses loaded? Polanco up, Tommy Kainley sweating
bullets on the mound.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Here's the Mariners Radio Network three.
Speaker 6 (16:39):
Two pitch on the way. Saw yeah, light drive pay

Speaker 2 (17:02):
Out the Blue Jays.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
What of that's the game fifteen days?
Speaker 6 (17:07):
All right, Plato's getting mob out in left field.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Well, I gotta say, I think you hit it right
on the head.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
It is an historic game again, game of the year
in Major League Baseball, and probably from here on out
it'll be the Battle in Seattle.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
I'm pretty sure that's a good one.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
I like that's gonna wind up being what the name
of this game is, Hey, remember the Battle in Seattle,
oh man, fifteen innings Tigers and the Marrigors. Yeah, it
just rolls off the tongue. I feel like, Yep, that's
the name right there, Battle in Seattle.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Go build your T shirt, get it out.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Yeah I was there, bat see.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
But the thing is for me, like instead of wearing
the eye was their T shirts, I would ad the
T shirt would say I was broadcasting during the battle.
Like all the big games in the last twenty years,
I was broadcasting when this.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
You were standing up in the studio.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
I'm standing up in the studio.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
I was there, I saw it.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
I was broadcasting. I was broadcasting.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Broadcast shirt it says like I was broadcasting during and
then have a shirt on the back with all the
great moments in sports history.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
But what I can add to it when I need to?
Speaker 1 (18:12):
I like, I turned the T shirt into somebody and say, hey,
can you add this date battle of Battle of Seattle?
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Okay? Add that on there? Okay, yeah, great, same font,
same everything.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
All right? I mean you just add a nameplate like
the the Sadness jersey for Cleveland.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Okay, oh no, no, good no, But I'm thinking more.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
It looks like a like a like a rock t
shirt where you know the band on the front and
the and the you know the location of the concert,
but on the back it's got the concert tour dates,
like you know, like that's what I'm thinking of. Hey,
I was on the air for all of these great games.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
See, I was thinking you could keep addings, you know, fabric,
So eventually you're like the Undertaker with his cape.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
I'm adding fabric. The shirt goes all the way down to.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Just going to all of a sudden, like you you're Dracula,
sweeping in the floor and getting after him.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
My goodness.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
All right, so hey, let let's uh, let's put a
bow on the game for both of these teams and
then get to a very special few. And I say
very special because I have no idea what it's going
to be.
Speaker 7 (19:11):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
The Tigers go home, and you know what, quite honestly,
you can't look tigers fit. This is one of those
losses where you can't hang your head because it was
a fifteen.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
It was a war.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Yes you didn't you didn't get hit with runners of
scoring position, but you know what, the other team didn't
hit with runners of scoring position. You made double plays.
You got double plays to get out of it. You
had big strikeouts. You walk out of this with your
head held high. And the number one thing you have
to think is we got to go out and get
some offense next year. Like this team just did not
hit at all. The bottom of the lineup hit more
(19:44):
than the top of the lineup, right, like Carpenter held
the top of the top tonight, but I mean overall
in the playoffs, the bottom of the lineup hit more than.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
The top did.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
The Tigers are are a playoff made team, but they
need they need to be able to juice some more
a little bit. They gotta they gotta spend a little
bit of money which they have and go out and
get one or two boppers. Don't gotta go crazy because
this team is this team is terrific, and you don't
want to mess with the with the with the with
the chemistry have it too much. But you need one
(20:13):
or two boppers to put in that lineup something to
jew some runs like that. That's absolutely your number one thing.
I think pitching, you're okay. You know, Melton looks like
he's gonna be one of the next great Tigers pitchers.
You saw how he how he pitched tonight, how he's
pitching the playoffs. But yeah, if you're the Ties, like, Okay,
what do we have to do. We gotta go out
and get a couple of guys again, juice the lineup.
You don't got to spend you know, one hundreds of
millions of dollars, Like you can go out and say, okay, hey,
(20:35):
peede A Lonzo's gonna come here, But you don't gotta
go spend two hundred and fifty million. You need a
couple more Hobby Baias type guys that they can either hey,
come up with big moments, hit with runners in scoring position,
or or give you some type of Riley Green production
and I'll and keep it through the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
Because Riley Green did not keep that going.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
No, he struggled mightily. I mean, you had two thirty
home run hitters in Green and torkal Center. We watched
the rise of Carpenter and we'll see what he can bring.
He's twenty seven. Torklesen at twenty five. Good to see
him back because it looked like he'd been lost right,
had a great season then the down year where the
(21:13):
Boo Birds and everyone were coming out. Now here's the
other part, and this is the plague across Major League Baseball.
You only got one guy in your lineup that hit
better than to sixty. Yeah, so, and that's uh Dingler
hit two seventy eight and one hundred and twenty six
games that he played. Otherwise you're looking at it. Everybody's
like two fifty eight or less. So and that's an epidemic.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Right.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
We talked about it a lot that what you have
eight hitters overall that hit better than three hundred this year. So, uh,
change of a played approaches, et cetera. But to your point, yeah,
some more juice, a lot of guys in that ten
to fifteen home run range. If we are going three outcome,
let's stack it in our favor.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Now for the Mariners who are going on great news
as they're going on. The bad news is it's hard
for me to see them beating the Blue Jays. Uh
cal Rally is having a really good playoff. But when
your three four five hitters are barely hitting sho Heyo
tani level one fit too soon for a time. But yeah,
(22:16):
Jay Rodd's hitting the buck seventy four, Polanco's one eighty two,
Gino Suarez is hitting ninety five, like that's not gonna
get it done against a team.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Gino's looking like Gino Smith in Las Vegas.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Maybe they got rid of the wrong Geno. Maybe they needed.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Geno Smith and not no, But I mean that's hot.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Take the Blue Jays are and look, things can change
from from series to series. But I've watched the Blue
Jays just smack the hell out of the baseball and
I'm not seeing the Mariners do that. And when the
middle of your lineup is struggling like that, yeah, it's
easy for me to see the Blue Jays come out
hitting the ball, getting out to big leads like they
did against the Yankees, and the Mariners having a tough
time playing catch up. Those three, four five got to
(22:56):
flip the switch right away. But the Blue Jays are
playing better baseball, and I expect to see the Blue
Jays in the World Series.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Let's see, Let's see if we can find ourselves some
early series odds for this one. Not up just yet
as we speak, because we still have a game tomorrow
we start the Brewers and the Cubs, so still some
more chaos to come. Maybe we'll get another fifteen inning
game in the middle of a college football Saturday.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Oh sure, why not?
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Right?
Speaker 4 (23:24):
That had to be fantastic.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
I'll be tuned in. Let's go so we'll have more
in this game coming up in a few minutes.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
But right now it's time to pay off the worst
bet and worst agreement I've ever made in my life.
It was Wednesday night and we previewed Thursday night football
between the Giants and the Eagles. That look, you and
I both picked the Eagles. If you can't get well
against the Giants, when can you get well? Alex tige Shirt,
who has just discovered sports even though he's been on
the show now for about eight years, says, JJ, come on,
(23:54):
Giants are gonna win this game by two touchdowns. I go, dude,
come on, man, that's what were you talking about. Man,
that's not happening. All right, If it does, I get
a segment on the show. And I said, deal, because
I never thought that would ever happen. Well, the Giants
won by seventeen, blowing out the Eagles, and so now
Alex Tysher gets a segment to himself here. I don't
(24:15):
know what he's gonna talk about. I just know the
title of it's going to be plant based hot takes.
Speaker 8 (24:22):
You know, what?
Speaker 4 (24:22):
Are you still going with? Plant based hot takes?
Speaker 9 (24:25):
Working title? But I think we'll run with it for now.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Okay, Now, remember the two the two rules. You can't
curse and it's this can't this can't be Okay. It
also can't be some sort of Ponzi scheme where you
ask people for money. Okay, those two things you can't do.
Speaker 8 (24:39):
So this herbalize stuff. I should not promote Herbalize. So
I'm already off to a bad start.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Oh I had by fifteen percent, just typing tighter, just out.
Speaker 9 (24:49):
Man, go cod tight shirts.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
That's what I had ready, all right, all right, so
plant based hot takes at go.
Speaker 8 (24:57):
Okay, So now, gentlemen, I want you all to be
a part of this. What I have is a working idea.
Here is I'm going to give you a hot take
in sports based off of foods. And all I want
to do is after I give it to you, I
want each of you to tell me, don't eat that
or I'd eat that?
Speaker 9 (25:10):
Sound good?
Speaker 4 (25:12):
Yeah, getch you. I'm in turtle makes sense when we
do it, well, just let you know. But that's just it.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
This is a game of improv Yes, babe let fun.
Speaker 8 (25:20):
So MLB was a hot topic tonight. The mantners are
gallivanting through I don't know what hallways right now. I'll
tell you this baseball is starting to come back. And
so my first plant based hot take is MLB is
the new carnivore diet. Would you guys like to know why?
Speaker 4 (25:37):
Why?
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Like that?
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Okay?
Speaker 9 (25:38):
Perfect?
Speaker 8 (25:39):
Steve de Seger loves this robot umpires. I'm just kidding, Steve,
don't hate me. The ABS challenge system is coming into effect.
And if you don't know what that means, and neither
do why, But what I guess it means is that
you can now challenge these calls somehow, and that's pretty cool.
But the thing is, just like the carnivore diet. It
sounds great. There's instant changes. You feel better, lower calories,
(26:00):
you're walking around more spiffier, maybe helping with your diabetes.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Whatever it is.
Speaker 9 (26:04):
The instant change is cool. It's awesome, right Yeah, But
here's the thing.
Speaker 8 (26:09):
There's no long term studies, so we're not sure if
this is actually gonna work out in the long run.
My prediction is that's gonna be all robotics by twenty
thirty with baseball, but as of right now, it's the
carnivore diet. It sounds great instant changes, but I'm not
sure if it's gonna be sustainable long term. So you guys,
don't eat that or eat that.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
I would eat that. Yes, I would eat that. Hey, Hey,
Herman and I do in the PhD diet, we've been
heavy on protein. We've each lost over fifty pounds over
the course of the past few months. People have been
eating meat their whole lives and it's been working out
for them. We know how much you need protein.
Speaker 9 (26:43):
I'd eat that out right, thank you.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
I'm on board. I have no idea how it's gonna
work out for me in the long term, but short term,
I'm feeling good. I'm lean, I'm mean, and I'm creeping Jordan. Look,
I'm fighting towards sister Jane territory. I got fifty years
at me.
Speaker 9 (26:58):
Let's go, Shaye, what do you think I'm eating that? Yeah,
I mean, I'm young, Mike, I'm feeling it. I'm feeling
it all right, beautiful.
Speaker 8 (27:06):
Okay, guys take number two, and now I have to
shout out to the giants because of the reason this
is happening. The Giants, guys are the overnight oats of football.
Speaker 9 (27:15):
Would you like to know why?
Speaker 3 (27:17):
Yes?
Speaker 9 (27:18):
Okay, So now I have two names for you. Okay,
Jackson Dart It's getta boosh, Gotta boosh, gotta boosh.
Speaker 8 (27:25):
We all, Oh my gosh. So now we saw these
two powerhouses. Literally show you, Jason, why I know football,
and I told you exactly what was going to happen.
Speaker 9 (27:35):
I know this dynamic duo.
Speaker 8 (27:36):
They're impenebgrably going to be something that is undefinably gonna
be sustainable if you let it sit for a while.
What I mean by that is, Jason, when you get oatmeal,
we don't like it. It doesn't taste great. It's bland.
So you gotta add some sugar, maybe some spice, maybe
some fruit to it. But what if you let it
sit in the refrigerator with some good oatmeal or something
like that, with maybe oat milk, some whole milk, I
(27:58):
don't know, whatever you want to put in there, some
extra spices, maybe some maple syrup, and guess what happens
when you did the next day, Jason, It's one of
the best things you can have in the rising correct correct. Okay,
So here's the thing. Can we get them a good
one wide receiver, maybe somebody like I don't know, Kyle
Lemon from USC. Next year, I'm predicting they win a
Super Bowl maybe next year. Let them sit, let them cook,
(28:20):
probably be the best thing to eat. So I'm saying
they're the over night oats of football. Jason would eat that,
all right.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
First of all, good looking up the best players in college.
Speaker 9 (28:30):
Thank you so much. I took time doing that and
googling that.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
She did.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Clearly Alex tie Shirt googled best receivers in college football did.
Speaker 9 (28:37):
Yeah, he totally googled that. He definitely, I'd eat that.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Because, hey, because overnight oats is dessert for breakfast, I
can have cookies and cream. I could have strawberries and
cream and what is it, fifteen grams of protein? Sweet
grams of protein. I'd eat that, Alex tie Shirt, Yes, yeah, no, absolutely.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
I mean, look, you kept going with the carnivore thing,
but I like that you added some oats to it
and gave us some grains. Yes, letting it marinate, and
like you say, you can always have your additives. In
this case, it's a top flight wide receiver. I like this.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
It's a good analogy, Thank you, Mike.
Speaker 8 (29:11):
Yeah, sure, I I honestly wasn't feeling it until you
called Morning Time Rising. Yes, and then I was like,
all right, I'm seeing it. I'm seeing the benefits. So no, yeah,
you've you've convinced me, Alex.
Speaker 6 (29:21):
I love it.
Speaker 9 (29:22):
I'm there, I'm there.
Speaker 8 (29:23):
Just remember it's gonna get better even though they're not
addressing the d liner defense.
Speaker 9 (29:26):
But that's okay.
Speaker 8 (29:27):
So the next one, guys, this is my favorite one
so far, Mike, I think you might like this one
because this is one of your favorite players, Lebron James.
Speaker 9 (29:35):
Oh yeah, is raw unfiltered? Honey?
Speaker 4 (29:39):
This unfiltered?
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Honey?
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Yes?
Speaker 9 (29:40):
Okay, do you want to know why?
Speaker 4 (29:42):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (29:43):
Perfect, I'll tell you it never wait what what if
I said no? I have to go to the next topic.
I wrote one more. Thank you Jesus. Yes, because it
never expires, and it's good on anything and every team apparently, Uh,
it's antibacterial and it comes from the most important in bees.
Speaker 9 (30:01):
So why we're all here?
Speaker 8 (30:02):
So? Can the NBA really live without Lebron James? That's
a good question because we've always pondered what would happen
if there was no bees to do all their important
thing they do when they fly around and you know,
spread all the pollen and make everything so flush and loving.
So I said this, Lebron never expires. He's probably never
gonna retire, and if he does, does the NBA survive
without him? So that's why I'm saying, guys, I'm pretty
(30:24):
sure he's ron filtered honey because we can't touch him.
Let it be old, let him sit out the first
beginning of the season and see what happens. Jason, are
you eating that?
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Here's why I eat that because I don't think the
NBA understands all the things that Lebron James does. Yes, right,
they don't understand, just like I think a lot of
people don't know that rawn filtered honey.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
You could pour it on wounds, yes, and it heals.
It's not just something you eat. You could pour it
on your body. People don't know that. Alex, thank you,
I'm eating that.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
As soon as we got the pouring honey onto your body,
I stopped listening. La la la la la la la images.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
I don't need for a hundred attic Come on, Mike,
come on, pour some honey on.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Me because I thought I really thought you were gonna
go down the highway that it was overrated because there's
lots of different varietals of honey out there.
Speaker 8 (31:17):
Well, that's why I think I specified raw and filtered,
you know, because otherwise.
Speaker 9 (31:20):
It's it's all propaganda.
Speaker 8 (31:22):
Well, but that's it, Shay, What are you thinking that
I've I've watched the B movie Alex and I've seen
a world without bees carry and I'll tell you right now,
I haven't seen a world with all Lebron James and
I don't think I want to see that world. It's
it's terrifying, and I'm I'm chouned out on that. I'm
eating that thick, creamy Honey's my man, he's.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
Got cyanica now old they just set in it's a final.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
Maybe he needs raw and filtered honey.
Speaker 9 (31:45):
I'm saying, Jason, you ready for my last one?
Speaker 8 (31:47):
Here? Ready Bass Hot Tanks Jason Smith's Show with Mike
Carmen and Jason Smith High. I wasn't going to say
this about the WNBA. It is the cauliflower of sports.
Speaker 9 (31:59):
Would you like to know why?
Speaker 4 (32:00):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (32:01):
Okay, yeah, there's no real substance. But you feel good
after watching it, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, okay,
so now let me tell you why. It's a different
concept of what we're used to watching. It's now getting
the limelight. Caitlin Clark is like the pizza spot you
just talked about. You went there and you're like, oh,
there's cauliflower crusts. I'm used to gluten free or maybe wholeheat.
(32:22):
What is this cauliflower?
Speaker 4 (32:23):
You eat it.
Speaker 8 (32:24):
It's lighter, it's easier, it's breezier, and then you're funny
to think about it. I actually feel better. So maybe
sports was just a little too drastic, and now watching WNBA,
I feel better. I'm enjoying sports and seeing that, Oh
maybe there's more to go around than I thought, and
there's better ways to eat pizza than I was enjoying before,
and maybe it could be better for me. So I'm
saying this, the WNBA, it's a cauliflower sports Jason eating that.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
I'm eating that because it's got you more interested in sports. Yes,
and I am very happy for that, and I will
I will take that.
Speaker 4 (32:54):
Look.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
I love the WNBA. It's so much fun to talk about,
but because it gets you into sports, I'm eating Tyshirt.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Well, I'm also gonna go there because you've disparaged cauliflower
for many years. Now you finally found a use for
it and positivity, just like you're getting on board the
WNBA way to go.
Speaker 9 (33:11):
Thank you, Shay.
Speaker 8 (33:13):
All Right, I'm gonna I'm gonna spit cauliflower on this one.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm not feeling it. I'm not
I like buffalo cauliflower. Just there's something missing. Is the
same way there's something missing from the w NBA, at
least this season. That's all I'm gonna say. I'm gonna
leave it at that.
Speaker 9 (33:28):
All right.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
So there it is, Alex ty Shirt. Would you eat
that plant based hot takes? I didngratulations at disratulations Nice.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
I'm on board this. Nice Jo.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Time out to find out what's trending in the wide
world sports for man who I'm sure is going okay,
I don't know what that was, but I'm just gonna
tell you what's trending.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
It's Steve to say that.
Speaker 10 (33:49):
In fifteen innings, Seattle'll beat to Troy three to two,
game fly for the best of five Al Division series.
Mariners offense struck out twenty times and advanced in the
ALC starts This Sunday night on Fox TV EMS at Toronto.
Tonight's was the biggest winner take all, our longest winner
take all playoff game in history, one of the biggest
(34:09):
nights in Seattle sports history. The win to Luis Castillo,
the loss to Tommy Kinley, game winning single Jorge Polonco.
Trek Scoubel was the Detroit starter. Six innings, thirteen strikeouts,
no walks, that included a playoff record seventh straight strikeouts.
The game lasted nearly five hours. Kerry Carpenter of the
Tigers had four hits and two walks. The rest of
(34:32):
the team was four for forty six at the plate.
Speaker 7 (34:35):
Just in the extra innings of this one, seventeen different
batters reached safely. That ties for the most in extras
in any postseason game. It ties with the Dodgers eighteen
inning World Series game beating Boston in twenty eighteen, and
it ties with the Robin Ventura Metz Grand Slam against
the Braves in nineteen ninety nine as well. So, now,
(34:58):
what is the record of home teams all time in
winner take all postseason games. It's up to five hundred
Mariners win at home tonight. Home team's now sixty seven
and sixty seven all time in winner take all postseason
ball games.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
Yeah, but what are the record of the visiting teams?
Speaker 10 (35:17):
Probably sixty seven and sixty seven.
Speaker 9 (35:21):
We'll get the crack staff on that.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
I want to make sure.
Speaker 7 (35:23):
It's Saturday Nights in the National League comes at Milwaukee
a game five to end the Division Series round and
college football wins for Washington, Colorado State and for number
twenty four South Florida WNBA Finals with Las Vegas getting
a four game sweep, ending everything. With the win at
Phoenix tonight, ninety seven eighty six Asia Wilson Finals MVP,
(35:45):
she had thirty one points. Vegas has won the title
three of the last four years. NHL was off tonight,
us Man Soccer tied its exhibition against Ecuador one to
one in Austin, Texas.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Back to you, Thank you, Steve The Jason Smith Show
with my best friend Michaelman coming up next. We finished
with a flourish coming off of this game. Final thoughts
on Mariners Tigers end.
Speaker 4 (36:06):
We preview and give you our picks for three of
the biggest games in the NFL This weekend. That's next
right here, Jason to Mike. Fox Sports Radio.

The Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon

Speaker 1 (36:30):
Game of the Year in Major League Baseball fifteen innings,
we watch the Mariners move on to the Alcs. Tell
you what you're not gonna go. I don't think you
get a lot of arguments about how great a game
this was. Eventually there'll be a better game in the
playoffs that we'll say, well, but I don't know when
that's coming, because this has set the bar pretty high
(36:52):
for the next little bit. Again, all games don't need
to be nine to eight, eight, seven, eleven, ten, sometimes three,
two and fifteen innings with chances and teams getting out
of it and finding ways. Yeah, that's all the drama
that you need. And sometimes you can just appreciate a
game for how great it is and say, yeah, it
was just that great and that's what the Tigers and
the Mariners gave us.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
Yeah, I know, we get into the phraseology of being
as some might say the prisoner of the moment. You
just have to accept greatness when it finds you, right,
Schooble was gone after six innings. We watched a full
game after and he was the first guy on the
top of the step at every half inning to meet
the guys as they came off the field. So, I mean,
(37:34):
just greatness, a lot of opportunities, twenty twenty two runners
left on base altogether, a bunch of inning ending double plays.
I mean, it had it all.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Really, you can just appreciate that game and appreciate the
greatness and how well it was played and the intensity
that it was there. That's playoff baseball one hundred percent.
Can't wait for the alcy. The NLCS will know after tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
And it didn't include either the Dodgers or the Yankees.
So you are watching up their teams, celebrating up their teams.
Speaker 4 (38:09):
Teams in Seattle and Detroit until three o'clock in the morning.
We watched it all.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
Okay, so three of the biggest games this week in
the NFL. You ready, Mike Harmon, hit me all right?
Detroit and Kansas City. Oh, Kansas City's not gonna lose again.
They can't lose again to go to two and four.
Guess what Kansas City's losing again. The Lions right now
are the best team in the NFL, and they fixed
their Week one issues really quick. I can't see how
(38:35):
the Chiefs offense keeps up in this game. They're already teetering.
They're not gonna have their weapons for at least another game.
Detroit's defense is even better than twenty twenty four. Maybe
they've upgraded the DC wait for it, you'll get it
in the second. But I'll tell you what. Mahomes will
do all he can because it's what he's done so far.
He's been outstanding. But Lions pull away win this big
(38:56):
thirty eight to seventeen. Give me Detroit.
Speaker 3 (38:58):
Yeah, we had a pretty good job against opposing quarterbacks
thus far. Spagnola in that defense. As much as we've
talked about the lack of effort in the final minute,
you know on that play against Jacksonville, but all that
in Jared goff in this offense, they're they're hummering, and
you get the balance with what you got from Montgomery
(39:20):
and Gibbs. So yeah, give me Detroit to win this one.
Do you going over fifty three? Oh yeah, way over.
I'll go out for three for halftime in this game.
Speaker 4 (39:28):
Oh nice.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
How about Cincinnati and Green Bay Joe Flacco's first start.
You know what, I've seen green Bay be flat coming
off buys before. He's already beaten them one time earlier.
This year, he's got better weapons. I think Joe Flacco
goes for two fifty a couple of touchdowns. We've seen
this from Flacco before, and now he's got a much
better team around him. Give me a big start. We're
(39:51):
talking about Flacco and getting the way back machine. I'll
take the Bengals in an upset on the field, in
a shootout over the back.
Speaker 4 (39:58):
That is absolutely cool.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
I'm not gonna take him to win, but they give
him some sweats and we actually get some activation for
Higgins and Brown finally, and we push well over that
forty four and a half.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
You want another upset, I'll stay in the division. I
sort of like Dylan Chad Pennington. Gabriel Smart as a
leader by his arm strength is something pop gun, but
his sum is greater than his parts. He was impressive
when he started, and again he'll be impressive here in
a win because the Browns defense is elite. They will
(40:33):
give Pittsburgh's offense trouble. I'm not believing in Pittsburgh. The
defense does it again. I love the under in this one,
and I'll give you a fantasy bonus. Judkins goes for
over one hundred yards on twenty five or more carries.
Speaker 3 (40:45):
Ready, I one more upset as we go out the door.
News at Home takes down Drake May and New England.
Speaker 1 (40:50):
Oh look at you got the Spencer Rattler train my
card plus three Twitter at out about a Fresco Mike
at Swollen. Don't from Mike, I'm Jason. Coming up next.
