Speaker 4 (06:08):
All right, let's get into this because I do want
to hear what people say on this. This is very
interesting to me and I'm sure you as well.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Rob G.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Last night show held time enough with the walks, Okay,
the intentional walks, I have.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
The Blue Jays were playing scared.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Oh my god, oh TONI, I know we hit a
couple of home runs and people are going crazy.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Can you please fill us in on what happened last
night and we'll get into it.
Speaker 7 (06:34):
Well.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
Tani basically had two great games last night, all right.
First to play two games, he started out four for four,
two doubles, two homers, including the game time blast.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Is everything.
Speaker 6 (06:46):
From that point on, he was intentionally walked. Basically five
times we got cold. Four of them were intentional. The
fifth ones like we're not actually gonna intention but we're
not actually gonna.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Do it over the play. Everything's gonna get that seven
inches off the place. He could have done that on
all of those.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Instead of giving him like his making him feel special,
I would have just pitched mak him feel special, because now.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
He's like, oh, they're afraid of me. They didn't win
the kind knows he special. They're afraid of me, and
they're not going to pitch to me the rest of
this series. I can't believe it.
Speaker 6 (07:18):
The game, Blue Jays manager John Snyder was asked about
the never ending walks for show Altani, and he says, quote,
he had a great game.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
He's a great player.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
But I think after that, talking about the seventh inning
home run, you just kind of take the bat out
of his hands. So the speculation from that point was, well,
are they just not going to pitch to Otani the
rest of the series?
Speaker 5 (07:39):
Then?
Speaker 6 (07:40):
And Bob Nightingale caught up with the manager today before
Game four and he said, are you guys actually gonna
intentionally walk Otani to lead off the game?
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Then?
Speaker 6 (07:52):
If you're gonna take the bat of his hands, Schneider says, quote,
we haven't decided yet, Okay, so it's on the table.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
John Schneider, the manager of the Toronto Blue Jays, is
a coward with a capital C.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
You hear me?
Speaker 5 (08:07):
Is this on?
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Come on?
Speaker 5 (08:09):
Now?
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Otani's all of a sudden that you can't pitch to him.
I get in certain situations. I'm with you, Kelvin, he
almost blew the game in the ninth inning. Would he
put him on with nobody out? And if he didn't
slide off the bag, what would have happened man on second?
They probably would have won the game right there, because
you were too coward to pitch to show hey o Tani.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
And in reality, the longer it went, the more your
odds are that he wasn't gonna get another hit because
he was four for four.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
If you, if you're a great player, you actually get
three hits every ten times up, that makes you a
great player. So the odds swinging the other way after
he goes four for four. There are circumstances. I get it,
Second and third and first base open. I get that,
create a force at every base. They had to beat
a ground ball somewhere. You could force out an at
(09:00):
any base.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Right, I get that.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Putting him on with nobody, with nobody on in the
ninth inning and talking about maybe we'll decide if we
walk him the lead off the game, get off of it.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Nobody's that good. If I'm a picture on it on
the Toronto Blue Jays. Whatever happened to competition? Is he
hitting with a tennis racket. What am I looking at?
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Are you kidding me? I'm a major league pitcher. I
can get show Hail Tani out. Guess what he batted
this year two eighty. Guess what he was batting before
last night two twenty five. Stop it this over glorification.
Oh my god, We've never seen anything like this. We
(09:49):
should just walk him. Oh Tony, why don't we give
you four RBIs and four home runs and you don't
have to do anything.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Where's the competition that's involved.
Speaker 8 (10:00):
Here?
Speaker 4 (10:00):
This is being a coward with a capital C. It
almost makes you want to root against the Blue Jays.
If you're gonna play scared, attack that dude. He has
weaknesses in this playoff. He struck out sixteen out of
thirty four at bats at one point, Kelvin. So there's
holes in his batting, in his batting stands, and you
(10:21):
can get him out.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
I tip my cap.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
He had a great night. You're not gonna pitch to him.
I'm not buying it. So you absolutely are are right
in that. To me, there's a level of gamesmanship. There's
two parts of this. Rob One part is sometimes at
the end of the day, whatever the sport may be,
we also like the game, and so for instance, I
use it at a hack a shack. Nobody's saying you
(10:46):
can't hack a shack. At times it's strategic right, games
closed six seven minutes, ga't laugh, you're down a handful
of points. But the idea of hey, Rob, soon as
the game starts, we're hacking shack the entire game, you
lose the spirit of the game, right if you say
the eagle said, all right, from beginning of the game,
we're to just pushing period, because we figured we can
(11:07):
get two three yards every time, two three times four
story with us twelve and then we get a like no,
use it.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
When you need it, We get it. Fourth and one
you're on the end zone, you're the goal line. We
get it.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
And so the intentional walk is created for that. So
the idea that you would go into it knowing we're
gonna intentional walk and what does that say to your
team is also what I'm interested in. Because your pitchers
had done relatively well, so Tani's been fantastic the last
handful of games. We know that, but what does that
say to your team when the messages when we're walking
him period, like no, hey, let we our pitching staff
(11:39):
can do well.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Your catcher can call a game.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Your outfield can say, hey man, he ain't go hit
on the run, and I can catch some DP balls
if it come out my way.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
So I think that on might send a bad message.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Also, when you look at this baseball been around one
hundred and fifty years whatever it is before last night,
only Albert Pools have been intentionally walked with the bases
empty in the World Series game, and that was back
against the Rangers. They did that in Game five of
the twenty eleven World Because it's crazy. So that's my
point is this never happens. It happened once with you know,
fourteen years ago with Albert Poojos. And then if you're
(12:10):
talking about the single season record of all time being walked,
it goes to Andre Dawson back in nineteen ninety. They
walked him five times. Loup Pannella walked him five times.
So if you're calling it four with Otani or really
was five, then he would match that if we're keeping
it real. I just don't like it because what it
does to me, it takes the spirit of the game.
It takes While we love game, that takes the competition away,
(12:33):
and it would lead to me them having conversations in
the offseason, you know, and they have those meetings, what
do we need to do conversation about rule changes, and
they would start to have a rule change consideration. I
say they would, but that could happen because or less,
you're just saying the powers. The greatness of Otani is
the fact that they would consider a rule change like
they did with some Chamberlain type stuff or somebody. You
(12:55):
can't dunk, you can't touch the rim because you're too dominant.
But I just feel like that's making away from the
spirit of the game to just simply say, if this
game goes five, six or seven, we're automatically walking him.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
I wish they.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Would walk him to start the game. I'm dead serious.
They very well made. They ain't no way.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
He has what five home runs? You know what a
first pitch should be, A bad pitch should be, should
be right up under his chin. That's where the first pinch.
What is this nineteen ninety two to him?
Speaker 8 (13:21):
No more?
Speaker 2 (13:22):
That's what you want to do.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
You want to you want to neutralize old Tani, make
him uncomfortable in a batter's box. Don't make him feel
like he's arrived and nobody can get him out. It's
absolutely ridiculous. I'm not talking about head hunting. I'm talking
about him comfortable. Make him drop that bat and fall
to his stomach. All right, that's what you want to do.
(13:45):
That's how you shake that dude up.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
The problem is he's a robot, and he would literally
get back up, do his little putting his bat on
the home plate to see how far his distance is,
and get right back to it. You know what the
craziest part of this is to is that if they
walk him, don't walk him, whatever, he himself still has
a chance to beat them today on the mound. If
he goes six or seven, he might get that that's true.
But I'm saying the fact that he has a chance
(14:08):
to after what he did yesterday and what he does
get chilled today, and if he goes seven innings and
gives up one and his team, you know, puts up
three or four and man, he was six last time.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
I'm gonna say he goes three innings and he gives
up six runs. How's that that would be the easiest bet.
I'll take that.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
I ain't gonna lie, was you shooking. When I told y'all,
Clayton Kershaw robbed you YouTube.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
It's not what you told. No, that's not what you said.
I remember not Rob remember that he said that. He
said to close out the World Series. They didn't know.
They didn't know more. They need more. That was that
was the thought.
Speaker 8 (14:47):
It was over.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
They did not.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
They were like, come close this thing up. The game
wasn't please, he's doing it on what's Wednesday?
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Everybody. Let me tell you something. Everybody all Dodger fans
had brown shorts, thinking all.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Oh my god, you know who else? Did you see
his wife? But she like, oh my god, she was
going through it. The shorter shorts, high shoot, tight pansy
got out of it.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Tighter pants? Is that aie?
Speaker 1 (15:12):
There's no that is Rob. That's Rob Trump right there.
That's Donald Parkers. Shorter shorts, keep going the next one
type pants?
Speaker 5 (15:19):
That's that?
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Ain't that tight pants? That's Donald Parker all right?
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven
nine nine six sixty three sixty. I've been covering Major
League baseball for thirty nine years, and I'm disgusted by
the Blue Jays.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Disgusted at what they're doing.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Are the Blue Jays being cowards by walking old tany
on every at bat?
Speaker 2 (15:42):
I think they are? Kelvin. He also agrees me you
got a man? Are you kidding me? We'll continue this
conversation next with you. Are you cool with this?

Speaker 5 (18:10):
Rob.
Speaker 7 (18:11):
I'm only four months older than you, so that's all.
I've been following your career for the last few decades. Man,
love your work.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Appreciate that, Big That's nice. Thank you.
Speaker 7 (18:23):
From the Boogie down Brooks. Let me just tell you
they need to grow pare I've never heard of this.
Where where is the testosterone level? I mean seriously, I
mean the last time I saw this, I do you
guys remember this when Buck Showalter intentionally walked Barry Bonds
(18:43):
with the basis look.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Yeah, walked in and run. I remember that absolutely, Yeah, lot,
I do remember that, no doubt. All right, thanks for
the call. Appreciate it. We got so many people want
to get in, no doubt. Appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
Brother.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
How about Marty from Kentucky. You're on the odd couple
of Fox Sports Radio, Marty, how are you?
Speaker 7 (18:59):
I'm good, Rob, How you got well?
Speaker 5 (19:03):
Well?
Speaker 10 (19:03):
I got off work earlier than usually.
Speaker 5 (19:06):
I got the call, so.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Uh and you heard me yelling?
Speaker 10 (19:10):
Right?
Speaker 5 (19:11):
Say what I said?
Speaker 2 (19:12):
You heard me yelling about something?
Speaker 10 (19:15):
Oh yeah, yeah. I figured he was hating, but I
was in agreement this time. I was okay with that's
O'tani is historically not performed at his level in the
playoffs and his bat got hot. I mean, he had
a hard bat, and they gave his hard bat of
cold showers.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
And I'm okay with that.
Speaker 10 (19:35):
Don't don't let him just keep rolling and get and
get going.
Speaker 7 (19:38):
When he's hot. Cool him off.
Speaker 10 (19:40):
But after after last night, he isn't done enough. He's
not mister October.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
He's not mister November.
Speaker 10 (19:47):
He hasn't done enough to get that treatment.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
I'm okay with cooling him off last night. But that's
enough enough.
Speaker 7 (19:53):
I won't see anymore, all right, I'm with you on that.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Yeah, just to even entertain that, it's crazy, you know
what I mean, to even be like saying we won't Nobody.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Called him miss October yet, right.
Speaker 5 (20:04):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Jimmy in Alaska, you're on the odd couple of Fox
Sports Radio. What's up, Jimmy, Well.
Speaker 11 (20:11):
First thing I want to say is walking like they
walked last night, and he's totally atrocious to the game.
But what it did make Otawi do was try to
steal bases. And when he did the second time, he
saw his Hanmy go trying to whack and I'm wondering
how that's gonna work for the.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
Pitching tonight and how long he actually stays in the game.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
That's a good point, and that's why when he is pitching,
he's not stealing. He didn't steal this year like he did.
Definitely take you last Jimmy, because he had the fifty
to fifty. Thanks for the call Innes in Corona. You're
on the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
What up in this?
Speaker 8 (20:47):
Hey, guys, great show as always, man, Yeah, of course,
and like my like my fellow former New Yorker in
the Bronx and the one I'm talking to now, grow
up here, man, like pitch after this guy throw it inside.
He's not Prime Barry Bond, Thank you Barry Prime Barry
more like it all he made on that level pitching
(21:11):
him and all these all these intentional walks, all they
do is just inflating his confidence and inflate his ego.
And then the guy who's gonna Now the Toronto pitchers
when they are gonna pitch him, they're gonna pitch scare
They're gonna just throw meat balls right over the plate
for that.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
And and it the last part.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Kelvin and I were talking about this, what you you're
you're acting like Mookie Bets or Freddie Freeman.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Can't get a hit? Are you? Both of those guys
are en route to the Hall of Fame, both of them.
Speaker 8 (21:39):
Absolutely, yeah, just pitch to him, man, throw it inside,
get some smoke up.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
Business faith man, thank you.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
And actually I'm actually shocked they haven't tried that, because
one thing that's been getting the office postseason was pitching
inside just not not even dangerously. But no, no, we're
not trying to say, why don't you pitch a little
bit more inside just to scare them the bag a
little bit of time or two, you know, just tell them, hey, hey, hey, hey,
you know it ain't gonna be that easy, captain. But
(22:06):
the idea of just going into a game saying we're
walking him, period is kind of crazy.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
And can I say this real quick before you get
to the SEGA Public Service announcement. If you've been listening
to sports talk, local radio, your shows or whatever, and
they haven't.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Talked baseball all year, don't listen to them now.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
The odd couple talks baseball the whole season, not just
the postseason, not just the World Series, all year round.
So now everybody's talking baseball now, which we haven't seen
in years. Rob, do you know this on national sports
talk radio? People talking baseball. I just want you to
know we've been doing it the whole year. I wanted
(22:45):
some dead and we don't have time because Steve, all right,
we gotta eat from on the other side.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Right now, Steve point though, right, you're gonna tell you
what's hey, Steve.

As always on Tuesdays, our man he from Salam Hey
former NFL offensive line and Fox Sports Radio Weekends E
(23:26):
from Salamo X.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
What we want to say, Hey, from Real Quick, you're
a competitor. You play professional sports, and I get it.
There's a strategy that goes with walking show Hey. But
if you're on the other if you're a pitcher, you're
a competitor. The idea of walking this guy, even talking
about maybe walking him the lead off the first inning
for the Dodgers without even challenging him or pitching him.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Where are you on that? Does that make sense to you?
Speaker 5 (23:52):
No? I don't think it makes sense to me. Strategically
for a ball club maybe, but for the fans, for us,
that's right. I think that's the worst thing you could do.
And I'll go so far as to say, if you
intentionally walk someone two times, then there's repercussions. Right, So
if you do it a third time, of course he
(24:14):
you know, he gets a base. But if you continue
to try to do that, then you get extra basis.
So now you're not walking him to first, you're walking
him the second and it just robs the fan. That
game last night was tremendous, right, Okay, like I couldn't
even that's the greatest baseball game I've ever seen in
my life.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Yeah, it was. It was incredible.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
And I brought it up to from Ken to the
touch push in thirty five. It's cool, we get it,
it's goal line, go get it. But if they just
touch push, you know, the up and down entire field,
or if you just hack it shocked from the first
tip off throughout the whole game, you would take away.
It's like, we understand the rules, strategicy, we.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Get it strategic before the shot clock from and Kelvin,
you just do four corners and.
Speaker 5 (24:59):
You know, make one basket, just pass it around.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Exactly, Yeah, and win too.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
Nothing.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Yeah, I just so it's the spirit of the game.
I'm with you on that.
Speaker 5 (25:10):
What I'll say, this is what I'll say. I I
say this. If I'm Dave Roberts, I'm thinking about moving
show Heytani to bat and force.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
That's what Brian Bryan Kenny said on MLB Network.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
Right, because if you're going to if I know you're gonna,
and he came out and said he was gonna intentionally
walk him, that's the last time he's gonna be betting
in this series. Then I will move him to force.
I will let him get off the mound, have time
to you know, decompress on that. I would bat him
force and you'll be hard pressed to walk somebody when
it's two people on base or person on base are like,
(25:44):
I would switch up my strategy to force them into
play in real baseball.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
All right, If let's talk some football. Last night was
another game happening, and that was Monday night football. I know,
I know, listen, you know me and Rob, this is
what we do. We got a couple other topics too.
We're gonna baseball wise as well. I mean, if you
want to jump in on that, if anything else, you
want to talk about the great Freddy Free, I mean.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Let's say that.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
Let's do this, Ephraim And and here's the thing. People
get on me because I'm not ready to crown anybody.
Oh Tani the greatest player. And I know there's a
lot of high purple hyperbole and and he deserves respect
and and pitching and hitting and all that. But there's
a there's like a path, there's like a uh, you
got to put in time. And I think people are
(26:28):
just too quick and and and I'm just I'm not
even into all the analytics. But even if you go
Ephraim and you look at the war, which is the
big stat that they look at to determine where, you know,
what kind of player you were, uh uh and whatnot?
And and and it's a gauge, Babe, ruth on War
is number one, So it tells you how accurate this
(26:50):
thing is. All the great players are in there. Barry
Bonds is fourth, Cy Young is like third, you know
what I mean. So all the great players all rank
highly in WAR. So it sounds like it's a sound
argument or calculation of a player.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
The metrics.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
Oh, Tani's not even in the top twenty in the
current current active players. He's sixteenth in WAR. So how
can people get so carried away to say he's the
greatest player ever?
Speaker 5 (27:18):
You know? You know why? Because he spent with the
first fix years of his career middling or seven years
is his career, Middland round in Anaheim, not getting to
the postseason, not like I mean, they're different reasons why.
I'll tell you this. The reason I say, shoe Hey
Otani is the greatest baseball player I've ever seen is
(27:40):
in the current state of baseball where we are right now,
with the amount of gas these pitchers are pitching, with
the amount of of real life hitters coming up to
the plate and putting bats on balls, we haven't seen
in any one do what he's doing at the level
(28:03):
he's doing it. I don't know if ever. And so
just with that small metric, you're watching an ace pitcher
step up and be the best hitter on your team
as well.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
But he's not the best hitter in baseball.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
And what I'm telling you is you have a you
have an AL team with the best in AL. The
man said, I'm not pitching to him anymore in the
World Series. I'm going to give up a base no
matter what's going on in front of him. I'm going
to give up a base every single time. Meaning, oh,
(28:41):
by the way, this is a guy who steals bases
like he almost stole up. So what I'm telling you
is you're willing to risk him getting on first, still
in second, being in scoring position to let Mookie Betts
are are are.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Are Freddy for you? Yep?
Speaker 5 (29:02):
What you you would be considered crazy. The fact that
you have a manager doing thinking like that. That's what
makes him the greatest player of all.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
And that's what I was telling Rob.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
That only happened one other time from in the World
Series with Albert Pool hosts back in twenty eleven. Like
that just doesn't happen. It's not like, well, it's kind
of you know happens, and it's no, this is not happening.
Because me and Robb spent the entire day yesterday talking
about how every out, every catch, every error, every single
thing matters in a World Series game. And the idea
that you would just simply give a team like the
Dodgers a guy on base every time pot four to
(29:37):
five times is crazy.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
You think you think they're going to walk him to
lead off the first in And for the Dodgers, I
think they're.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
From you really do huh.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
Believe that they're gonna do that. I would, because you
got two other m vps coming up behind me, all
the future Hall of Fame a doubt first ballot. I mean,
they may put him into the Hall of Fame before
they eck hired, that's how good they are. And so
the fact that you're even considering, you're even talking about
that in the clubhouse and in the meetings, it blows
(30:08):
my mind. That's how powerful and scared they are over ten.
That's why he ascends, in my opinion, to being the
greatest basketball play I mean baseball player that ever seen
and to that point. And I want to talk about this.
And I don't know if this was on the doctor
or not, but Victor Women yama.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Ao bro hey man, hey man, hey, hey, ibn. We
haven't had a chance to talk about this because baseball
and World Series and again and again gambling.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Now we were going to talk about the night he
went crazy, like we just get it in women.
Speaker 5 (30:44):
Man, Listen, the league is in trouble. If this young
man can play sixty to sixty five games a year,
he is going to go down as the greatest basketball
player of every ever.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Women.
Speaker 5 (30:59):
You know, why what do you know? I know the
defensive side of the ball, and that's why I said,
if right, there's a big caveat someone that tall has
never been able to play that long that and be healthy.
I get that. I understand that he is a kid
still and the fact that he's changed from last year
to this year. No, he took that average of sixteen
(31:22):
series a game.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Hey, we got this for you about your man everyone
knows it.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Swim you from I got to hear this the whole year.
That's right, whole year, calling that song his rookie year.
Glad you did it because we talked about this, Rob.
I got a buddy I used to talk sports with
all the time, my main person I talked sports with.

And of course never heard of them. Elijah who our

from Dodger Stadium and did the pregame. Oh god, oh god,
it was right.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
It was crazy there and oh yeah, well, of course
we're still buzzing, and it was you know, I ate
a couple of dogs.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
It was good. Yeah, good time lunch, that was good.
What time you get out there? I might have to
pull up.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
We'll be there tomorrow morning morning, super early during the
morning show from there. But now I get there twelve
forty nine something like you you could just forty five
or won me. I'm sorry, you could be like twelve
forty five or one. You don't twelve forty nine. That's
kind of crazy. I'm sorry that I don't want to know.
You're exactly like I got.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
There at twelve forty nine. That's what you asked me. Wow,
that's what I'm gonna round up for you saying twelve
forty nine. That's what I remember.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I'm just curious all the festivities. But that's a little
you know, because I'm there too early tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
All right, let's get into this because I do want
to hear what people say on this. This is very
interesting to me and I'm sure you as well.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Rob G.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Last night show held time enough with the walks, Okay,
the intentional walks, I have.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
The Blue Jays were playing scared.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Oh my god, oh TONI, I know we hit a
couple of home runs and people are going crazy.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Can you please fill us in on what happened last
night and we'll get into it.
Speaker 7 (06:34):
Well.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
Tani basically had two great games last night, all right.
First to play two games, he started out four for four,
two doubles, two homers, including the game time blast.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Is everything.
Speaker 6 (06:46):
From that point on, he was intentionally walked. Basically five
times we got cold. Four of them were intentional. The
fifth ones like we're not actually gonna intention but we're
not actually gonna.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Do it over the play. Everything's gonna get that seven
inches off the place. He could have done that on
all of those.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Instead of giving him like his making him feel special,
I would have just pitched mak him feel special, because now.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
He's like, oh, they're afraid of me. They didn't win
the kind knows he special. They're afraid of me, and
they're not going to pitch to me the rest of
this series. I can't believe it.
Speaker 6 (07:18):
The game, Blue Jays manager John Snyder was asked about
the never ending walks for show Altani, and he says, quote,
he had a great game.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
He's a great player.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
But I think after that, talking about the seventh inning
home run, you just kind of take the bat out
of his hands. So the speculation from that point was, well,
are they just not going to pitch to Otani the
rest of the series?
Speaker 5 (07:39):
Then?
Speaker 6 (07:40):
And Bob Nightingale caught up with the manager today before
Game four and he said, are you guys actually gonna
intentionally walk Otani to lead off the game?
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Then?
Speaker 6 (07:52):
If you're gonna take the bat of his hands, Schneider says, quote,
we haven't decided yet, Okay, so it's on the table.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
John Schneider, the manager of the Toronto Blue Jays, is
a coward with a capital C.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
You hear me?
Speaker 5 (08:07):
Is this on?
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Come on?
Speaker 5 (08:09):
Now?
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Otani's all of a sudden that you can't pitch to him.
I get in certain situations. I'm with you, Kelvin, he
almost blew the game in the ninth inning. Would he
put him on with nobody out? And if he didn't
slide off the bag, what would have happened man on second?
They probably would have won the game right there, because
you were too coward to pitch to show hey o Tani.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
And in reality, the longer it went, the more your
odds are that he wasn't gonna get another hit because
he was four for four.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
If you, if you're a great player, you actually get
three hits every ten times up, that makes you a
great player. So the odds swinging the other way after
he goes four for four. There are circumstances. I get it,
Second and third and first base open. I get that,
create a force at every base. They had to beat
a ground ball somewhere. You could force out an at
(09:00):
any base.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Right, I get that.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Putting him on with nobody, with nobody on in the
ninth inning and talking about maybe we'll decide if we
walk him the lead off the game, get off of it.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Nobody's that good. If I'm a picture on it on
the Toronto Blue Jays. Whatever happened to competition? Is he
hitting with a tennis racket. What am I looking at?
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Are you kidding me? I'm a major league pitcher. I
can get show Hail Tani out. Guess what he batted
this year two eighty. Guess what he was batting before
last night two twenty five. Stop it this over glorification.
Oh my god, We've never seen anything like this. We
(09:49):
should just walk him. Oh Tony, why don't we give
you four RBIs and four home runs and you don't
have to do anything.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Where's the competition that's involved.
Speaker 8 (10:00):
Here?
Speaker 4 (10:00):
This is being a coward with a capital C. It
almost makes you want to root against the Blue Jays.
If you're gonna play scared, attack that dude. He has
weaknesses in this playoff. He struck out sixteen out of
thirty four at bats at one point, Kelvin. So there's
holes in his batting, in his batting stands, and you
(10:21):
can get him out.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
I tip my cap.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
He had a great night. You're not gonna pitch to him.
I'm not buying it. So you absolutely are are right
in that. To me, there's a level of gamesmanship. There's
two parts of this. Rob One part is sometimes at
the end of the day, whatever the sport may be,
we also like the game, and so for instance, I
use it at a hack a shack. Nobody's saying you
(10:46):
can't hack a shack. At times it's strategic right, games
closed six seven minutes, ga't laugh, you're down a handful
of points. But the idea of hey, Rob, soon as
the game starts, we're hacking shack the entire game, you
lose the spirit of the game, right if you say
the eagle said, all right, from beginning of the game,
we're to just pushing period, because we figured we can
(11:07):
get two three yards every time, two three times four
story with us twelve and then we get a like no,
use it.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
When you need it, We get it. Fourth and one
you're on the end zone, you're the goal line. We
get it.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
And so the intentional walk is created for that. So
the idea that you would go into it knowing we're
gonna intentional walk and what does that say to your
team is also what I'm interested in. Because your pitchers
had done relatively well, so Tani's been fantastic the last
handful of games. We know that, but what does that
say to your team when the messages when we're walking
him period, like no, hey, let we our pitching staff
(11:39):
can do well.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Your catcher can call a game.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Your outfield can say, hey man, he ain't go hit
on the run, and I can catch some DP balls
if it come out my way.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
So I think that on might send a bad message.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Also, when you look at this baseball been around one
hundred and fifty years whatever it is before last night,
only Albert Pools have been intentionally walked with the bases
empty in the World Series game, and that was back
against the Rangers. They did that in Game five of
the twenty eleven World Because it's crazy. So that's my
point is this never happens. It happened once with you know,
fourteen years ago with Albert Poojos. And then if you're
(12:10):
talking about the single season record of all time being walked,
it goes to Andre Dawson back in nineteen ninety. They
walked him five times. Loup Pannella walked him five times.
So if you're calling it four with Otani or really
was five, then he would match that if we're keeping
it real. I just don't like it because what it
does to me, it takes the spirit of the game.
It takes While we love game, that takes the competition away,
(12:33):
and it would lead to me them having conversations in
the offseason, you know, and they have those meetings, what
do we need to do conversation about rule changes, and
they would start to have a rule change consideration. I
say they would, but that could happen because or less,
you're just saying the powers. The greatness of Otani is
the fact that they would consider a rule change like
they did with some Chamberlain type stuff or somebody. You
(12:55):
can't dunk, you can't touch the rim because you're too dominant.
But I just feel like that's making away from the
spirit of the game to just simply say, if this
game goes five, six or seven, we're automatically walking him.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
I wish they.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Would walk him to start the game. I'm dead serious.
They very well made. They ain't no way.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
He has what five home runs? You know what a
first pitch should be, A bad pitch should be, should
be right up under his chin. That's where the first pinch.
What is this nineteen ninety two to him?
Speaker 8 (13:21):
No more?
Speaker 2 (13:22):
That's what you want to do.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
You want to you want to neutralize old Tani, make
him uncomfortable in a batter's box. Don't make him feel
like he's arrived and nobody can get him out. It's
absolutely ridiculous. I'm not talking about head hunting. I'm talking
about him comfortable. Make him drop that bat and fall
to his stomach. All right, that's what you want to do.
(13:45):
That's how you shake that dude up.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
The problem is he's a robot, and he would literally
get back up, do his little putting his bat on
the home plate to see how far his distance is,
and get right back to it. You know what the
craziest part of this is to is that if they
walk him, don't walk him, whatever, he himself still has
a chance to beat them today on the mound. If
he goes six or seven, he might get that that's true.
But I'm saying the fact that he has a chance
(14:08):
to after what he did yesterday and what he does
get chilled today, and if he goes seven innings and
gives up one and his team, you know, puts up
three or four and man, he was six last time.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
I'm gonna say he goes three innings and he gives
up six runs. How's that that would be the easiest bet.
I'll take that.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
I ain't gonna lie, was you shooking. When I told y'all,
Clayton Kershaw robbed you YouTube.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
It's not what you told. No, that's not what you said.
I remember not Rob remember that he said that. He
said to close out the World Series. They didn't know.
They didn't know more. They need more. That was that
was the thought.
Speaker 8 (14:47):
It was over.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
They did not.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
They were like, come close this thing up. The game
wasn't please, he's doing it on what's Wednesday?
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Everybody. Let me tell you something. Everybody all Dodger fans
had brown shorts, thinking all.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Oh my god, you know who else? Did you see
his wife? But she like, oh my god, she was
going through it. The shorter shorts, high shoot, tight pansy
got out of it.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Tighter pants? Is that aie?
Speaker 1 (15:12):
There's no that is Rob. That's Rob Trump right there.
That's Donald Parkers. Shorter shorts, keep going the next one
type pants?
Speaker 5 (15:19):
That's that?
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Ain't that tight pants? That's Donald Parker all right?
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven
nine nine six sixty three sixty. I've been covering Major
League baseball for thirty nine years, and I'm disgusted by
the Blue Jays.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Disgusted at what they're doing.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Are the Blue Jays being cowards by walking old tany
on every at bat?
Speaker 2 (15:42):
I think they are? Kelvin. He also agrees me you
got a man? Are you kidding me? We'll continue this
conversation next with you. Are you cool with this?
Speaker 4 (15:51):

Speaker 1 (17:30):
He from on the Way, Shekel City Play of the
Day on the Way as well eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox is simple what you saw last night
intentionally walking on Tani. There's a thought process that they
may do with the entire rest of the series with him.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Is that doing too much? Is it games? Some ship?
Speaker 5 (17:46):
Do you like it? You hate it.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
We both say. Man up eight seven, seven ninety nine
on Fox.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
All right, let's kick it off with Big Lou in
the Bronx DA Bronx to Bronx.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
You're on the couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up,
Big Lou.
Speaker 7 (18:01):
Thank you, thank you so much.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
First of all, I just want to say I always
listen to you guys. Love you guys.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Thank you, Big Rob.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
Rob.
Speaker 7 (18:11):
I'm only four months older than you, so that's all.
I've been following your career for the last few decades. Man,
love your work.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Appreciate that, Big That's nice. Thank you.
Speaker 7 (18:23):
From the Boogie down Brooks. Let me just tell you
they need to grow pare I've never heard of this.
Where where is the testosterone level? I mean seriously, I
mean the last time I saw this, I do you
guys remember this when Buck Showalter intentionally walked Barry Bonds
(18:43):
with the basis look.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Yeah, walked in and run. I remember that absolutely, Yeah, lot,
I do remember that, no doubt. All right, thanks for
the call. Appreciate it. We got so many people want
to get in, no doubt. Appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
Brother.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
How about Marty from Kentucky. You're on the odd couple
of Fox Sports Radio, Marty, how are you?
Speaker 7 (18:59):
I'm good, Rob, How you got well?
Speaker 5 (19:03):
Well?
Speaker 10 (19:03):
I got off work earlier than usually.
Speaker 5 (19:06):
I got the call, so.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Uh and you heard me yelling?
Speaker 10 (19:10):
Right?
Speaker 5 (19:11):
Say what I said?
Speaker 2 (19:12):
You heard me yelling about something?
Speaker 10 (19:15):
Oh yeah, yeah. I figured he was hating, but I
was in agreement this time. I was okay with that's
O'tani is historically not performed at his level in the
playoffs and his bat got hot. I mean, he had
a hard bat, and they gave his hard bat of
cold showers.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
And I'm okay with that.
Speaker 10 (19:35):
Don't don't let him just keep rolling and get and
get going.
Speaker 7 (19:38):
When he's hot. Cool him off.
Speaker 10 (19:40):
But after after last night, he isn't done enough. He's
not mister October.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
He's not mister November.
Speaker 10 (19:47):
He hasn't done enough to get that treatment.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
I'm okay with cooling him off last night. But that's
enough enough.
Speaker 7 (19:53):
I won't see anymore, all right, I'm with you on that.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Yeah, just to even entertain that, it's crazy, you know
what I mean, to even be like saying we won't Nobody.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Called him miss October yet, right.
Speaker 5 (20:04):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Jimmy in Alaska, you're on the odd couple of Fox
Sports Radio. What's up, Jimmy, Well.
Speaker 11 (20:11):
First thing I want to say is walking like they
walked last night, and he's totally atrocious to the game.
But what it did make Otawi do was try to
steal bases. And when he did the second time, he
saw his Hanmy go trying to whack and I'm wondering
how that's gonna work for the.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
Pitching tonight and how long he actually stays in the game.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
That's a good point, and that's why when he is pitching,
he's not stealing. He didn't steal this year like he did.
Definitely take you last Jimmy, because he had the fifty
to fifty. Thanks for the call Innes in Corona. You're
on the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
What up in this?
Speaker 8 (20:47):
Hey, guys, great show as always, man, Yeah, of course,
and like my like my fellow former New Yorker in
the Bronx and the one I'm talking to now, grow
up here, man, like pitch after this guy throw it inside.
He's not Prime Barry Bond, Thank you Barry Prime Barry
more like it all he made on that level pitching
(21:11):
him and all these all these intentional walks, all they
do is just inflating his confidence and inflate his ego.
And then the guy who's gonna Now the Toronto pitchers
when they are gonna pitch him, they're gonna pitch scare
They're gonna just throw meat balls right over the plate
for that.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
And and it the last part.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Kelvin and I were talking about this, what you you're
you're acting like Mookie Bets or Freddie Freeman.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Can't get a hit? Are you? Both of those guys
are en route to the Hall of Fame, both of them.
Speaker 8 (21:39):
Absolutely, yeah, just pitch to him, man, throw it inside,
get some smoke up.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
Business faith man, thank you.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
And actually I'm actually shocked they haven't tried that, because
one thing that's been getting the office postseason was pitching
inside just not not even dangerously. But no, no, we're
not trying to say, why don't you pitch a little
bit more inside just to scare them the bag a
little bit of time or two, you know, just tell them, hey, hey, hey, hey,
you know it ain't gonna be that easy, captain. But
(22:06):
the idea of just going into a game saying we're
walking him, period is kind of crazy.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
And can I say this real quick before you get
to the SEGA Public Service announcement. If you've been listening
to sports talk, local radio, your shows or whatever, and
they haven't.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Talked baseball all year, don't listen to them now.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
The odd couple talks baseball the whole season, not just
the postseason, not just the World Series, all year round.
So now everybody's talking baseball now, which we haven't seen
in years. Rob, do you know this on national sports
talk radio? People talking baseball. I just want you to
know we've been doing it the whole year. I wanted
(22:45):
some dead and we don't have time because Steve, all right,
we gotta eat from on the other side.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Right now, Steve point though, right, you're gonna tell you
what's hey, Steve.

As always on Tuesdays, our man he from Salam Hey
former NFL offensive line and Fox Sports Radio Weekends E
(23:26):
from Salamo X.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
What we want to say, Hey, from Real Quick, you're
a competitor. You play professional sports, and I get it.
There's a strategy that goes with walking show Hey. But
if you're on the other if you're a pitcher, you're
a competitor. The idea of walking this guy, even talking
about maybe walking him the lead off the first inning
for the Dodgers without even challenging him or pitching him.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Where are you on that? Does that make sense to you?
Speaker 5 (23:52):
No? I don't think it makes sense to me. Strategically
for a ball club maybe, but for the fans, for us,
that's right. I think that's the worst thing you could do.
And I'll go so far as to say, if you
intentionally walk someone two times, then there's repercussions. Right, So
if you do it a third time, of course he
(24:14):
you know, he gets a base. But if you continue
to try to do that, then you get extra basis.
So now you're not walking him to first, you're walking
him the second and it just robs the fan. That
game last night was tremendous, right, Okay, like I couldn't
even that's the greatest baseball game I've ever seen in
my life.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Yeah, it was. It was incredible.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
And I brought it up to from Ken to the
touch push in thirty five. It's cool, we get it,
it's goal line, go get it. But if they just
touch push, you know, the up and down entire field,
or if you just hack it shocked from the first
tip off throughout the whole game, you would take away.
It's like, we understand the rules, strategicy, we.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Get it strategic before the shot clock from and Kelvin,
you just do four corners and.
Speaker 5 (24:59):
You know, make one basket, just pass it around.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Exactly, Yeah, and win too.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
Nothing.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Yeah, I just so it's the spirit of the game.
I'm with you on that.
Speaker 5 (25:10):
What I'll say, this is what I'll say. I I
say this. If I'm Dave Roberts, I'm thinking about moving
show Heytani to bat and force.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
That's what Brian Bryan Kenny said on MLB Network.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
Right, because if you're going to if I know you're gonna,
and he came out and said he was gonna intentionally
walk him, that's the last time he's gonna be betting
in this series. Then I will move him to force.
I will let him get off the mound, have time
to you know, decompress on that. I would bat him
force and you'll be hard pressed to walk somebody when
it's two people on base or person on base are like,
(25:44):
I would switch up my strategy to force them into
play in real baseball.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
All right, If let's talk some football. Last night was
another game happening, and that was Monday night football. I know,
I know, listen, you know me and Rob, this is
what we do. We got a couple other topics too.
We're gonna baseball wise as well. I mean, if you
want to jump in on that, if anything else, you
want to talk about the great Freddy Free, I mean.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Let's say that.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
Let's do this, Ephraim And and here's the thing. People
get on me because I'm not ready to crown anybody.
Oh Tani the greatest player. And I know there's a
lot of high purple hyperbole and and he deserves respect
and and pitching and hitting and all that. But there's
a there's like a path, there's like a uh, you
got to put in time. And I think people are
(26:28):
just too quick and and and I'm just I'm not
even into all the analytics. But even if you go
Ephraim and you look at the war, which is the
big stat that they look at to determine where, you know,
what kind of player you were, uh uh and whatnot?
And and and it's a gauge, Babe, ruth on War
is number one, So it tells you how accurate this
(26:50):
thing is. All the great players are in there. Barry
Bonds is fourth, Cy Young is like third, you know
what I mean. So all the great players all rank
highly in WAR. So it sounds like it's a sound
argument or calculation of a player.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
The metrics.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
Oh, Tani's not even in the top twenty in the
current current active players. He's sixteenth in WAR. So how
can people get so carried away to say he's the
greatest player ever?
Speaker 5 (27:18):
You know? You know why? Because he spent with the
first fix years of his career middling or seven years
is his career, Middland round in Anaheim, not getting to
the postseason, not like I mean, they're different reasons why.
I'll tell you this. The reason I say, shoe Hey
Otani is the greatest baseball player I've ever seen is
(27:40):
in the current state of baseball where we are right now,
with the amount of gas these pitchers are pitching, with
the amount of of real life hitters coming up to
the plate and putting bats on balls, we haven't seen
in any one do what he's doing at the level
(28:03):
he's doing it. I don't know if ever. And so
just with that small metric, you're watching an ace pitcher
step up and be the best hitter on your team
as well.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
But he's not the best hitter in baseball.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
And what I'm telling you is you have a you
have an AL team with the best in AL. The
man said, I'm not pitching to him anymore in the
World Series. I'm going to give up a base no
matter what's going on in front of him. I'm going
to give up a base every single time. Meaning, oh,
(28:41):
by the way, this is a guy who steals bases
like he almost stole up. So what I'm telling you
is you're willing to risk him getting on first, still
in second, being in scoring position to let Mookie Betts
are are are.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Are Freddy for you? Yep?
Speaker 5 (29:02):
What you you would be considered crazy. The fact that
you have a manager doing thinking like that. That's what
makes him the greatest player of all.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
And that's what I was telling Rob.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
That only happened one other time from in the World
Series with Albert Pool hosts back in twenty eleven. Like
that just doesn't happen. It's not like, well, it's kind
of you know happens, and it's no, this is not happening.
Because me and Robb spent the entire day yesterday talking
about how every out, every catch, every error, every single
thing matters in a World Series game. And the idea
that you would just simply give a team like the
Dodgers a guy on base every time pot four to
(29:37):
five times is crazy.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
You think you think they're going to walk him to
lead off the first in And for the Dodgers, I
think they're.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
From you really do huh.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
Believe that they're gonna do that. I would, because you
got two other m vps coming up behind me, all
the future Hall of Fame a doubt first ballot. I mean,
they may put him into the Hall of Fame before
they eck hired, that's how good they are. And so
the fact that you're even considering, you're even talking about
that in the clubhouse and in the meetings, it blows
(30:08):
my mind. That's how powerful and scared they are over ten.
That's why he ascends, in my opinion, to being the
greatest basketball play I mean baseball player that ever seen
and to that point. And I want to talk about this.
And I don't know if this was on the doctor
or not, but Victor Women yama.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Ao bro hey man, hey man, hey, hey, ibn. We
haven't had a chance to talk about this because baseball
and World Series and again and again gambling.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Now we were going to talk about the night he
went crazy, like we just get it in women.
Speaker 5 (30:44):
Man, Listen, the league is in trouble. If this young
man can play sixty to sixty five games a year,
he is going to go down as the greatest basketball
player of every ever.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Women.
Speaker 5 (30:59):
You know, why what do you know? I know the
defensive side of the ball, and that's why I said,
if right, there's a big caveat someone that tall has
never been able to play that long that and be healthy.
I get that. I understand that he is a kid
still and the fact that he's changed from last year
to this year. No, he took that average of sixteen
(31:22):
series a game.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Hey, we got this for you about your man everyone
knows it.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Swim you from I got to hear this the whole year.
That's right, whole year, calling that song his rookie year.
Glad you did it because we talked about this, Rob.
I got a buddy I used to talk sports with
all the time, my main person I talked sports with.
Then he turned into Parlay guy. I didn't want to
talk all he's he's back with Winby Okay, hey man,
