Speaker 2 (02:08):
Night when you consider now he was a first round draft,
pick but he has gone from SINGLE a all the
way to The World. Series it's like he has more
postseason starts than he had regular season starts for The Blue,
jays and it didn't start well With Blake. Snell The
Blue jays certainly had a game, plan and that, is
If Blake snell's going to throw a, fastball we're going

(02:29):
to hit. It and this is how one of those
fastball sounded and the.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
One whttye rocks the ball l fielding deep.

settled down after. That it's just The dodgers first four
hitters got zero out of them. Nothing and now you

Program you want to start baseball at? Football which start?

(04:53):
Baseball all?

Speaker 3 (04:54):
Right this one's from the tub D you got The
jason six seven Or dodgers in?

Speaker 5 (04:58):
Seven.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
Hmm we could also do a what percentage do you
give The dodgers to come?

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Back, well Blue jays are favored to win The World.
Series that changed a. Lot let me see IF i
have the exact numbers That dylan sent to. Me, uh
Blue jays minus two, Forty dodgers plus two. Hundred so
yesterday prior to the, game Blue jays were plus one

(05:26):
sixty The dodgers minus one ninety. Five so that's a
big jump. THERE i would now once again entertainment purposes.
ONLY i was talking To, mario our director of The
eyes And ears of the, program and he, said you,
Know dodgers at plus two, hundred yamamoto get to a game.
SEVEN i, said, YEAH i would probably put some money
on The, dodgers even though The Blue jays are favored

(05:49):
to Win World.

Speaker 4 (05:50):
SERIES Mvp Blad.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
Guerrero you, Know vlad signed that contract and people at
the time, wondered was he giving The Blue jays a
little bit of a? Discount NOW i think he signed
a five hundred million dollar. Contract but let's say he
was going to be ready for a contract extension after
This World. Series, now all of a, sudden he's probably, saying,

(06:13):
YEAH i kind of like That otani. Money you, know
at least six hundred million. Dollars But Vlad guerrero has been,
unbelievable like these numbers. Are he's got twenty six twenty seven,
hits second most in a single, postseason Although RANDY. A
Rose arena had twenty nine hits in that twenty twenty

(06:35):
postseason in twenty. Games but he's been. Incredible so one
for three twenty seven, hits he's been walked twelve times
got hit by a. Pitch the only other player in
baseball history to reach base more times in a single
Postseason Barry bonds in two thousand and.

Speaker 4 (06:53):
Two woo a day Day stata day stout out of to.
Day this is the stut of the Day stat of The.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
Day stat of The day brought to you By Panini.
America back in two thousand and, Two bonds got on
base forty three. Times he had sixteen. Hits he was
walked twenty seven times forty seven twenty. Seven So blad
has twenty seven, Hits he's been walked twelve times and
has one hit by.

Speaker 4 (07:29):
Pitch what are the other poll? Questions? There setan.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
The game tonight more must win for The ravens Or mike.
McDaniel i would say The.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
RAVENS i don't know If mike McDaniel be able to
save his job.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
Even with a, Win, well he would save his job.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
For another, week BUT i don't know if he's going
to save his job at the end of the.

Speaker 4 (07:52):
SEASON i just.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
That's one of those it feels like they might have
made up their, Mind but then you don't want an
inner head coach to come in and all of a
sudden do, well and then all of a sudden everybody
clamors for the interim head coach to get the head coaching.
Job this has happened a couple of times. RECENTLY i
don't know anything about The. Dolphins you, Know Steven, Ross their,
owner but feels Like mike McDaniel will be the head

(08:16):
coach the rest of the. YEAR i wonder after this, game,
though Is miami a seller if they lose the, game
do you give up a couple of your edge? Rushers
Would Jalen wattle be? Available we Know Tyreek hill not
available because he's, Injured BUT i wonder the importance of
this game on what it means to the trade deadline

(08:38):
for The.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
Dolphins, yes and it feels like a lot of dudes right.
There why don't we just burn it down and start.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
OVER i think at the end of the year they
would probably do. That, YEAH i would think. So but you, Know,
Baltimore baltimore has to have.

Speaker 4 (08:55):
This you got two.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
Wins it just feels like when you got three. Wins
now now it feels a whole lot. Better now we
got a. Chance, yes three wins under our.

Speaker 4 (09:05):
Belt now we got a. Chance yes we're, Back yes
we are, Back, Yes.

Speaker 6 (09:08):
Paul The ravens are at The dolphins At, minnesota At
cleveland hosts The jets Host, cincinnati Host pittsburgh Host cincinnati.
Again so you've got some easy games followed by conference
division games that you could make up a lot of.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Ground, yeah once, again they're going to get it. Right
and it's still a potent offense When Lamar jackson is,
there and him scoring and being on the field will
help that, defense so they're not as.

Speaker 4 (09:36):
Exposed but they got the.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
TALENT i just don't know if they're going to be
healthy enough on defense the rest of the.

Speaker 4 (09:43):
Year, Yeah, paul we got to Ask dylan to look this.

Speaker 6 (09:45):
Up but we talked about this maybe a decade, ago
WHICH nfl player would affect the line the, most and
last week it looked Like Lamar jackson being out was
at least five or five and a half points on the,
line and clearly tonight it would BE i think it
Was Tom brady affected the line by six points once
years ago we looked at. That do you think there's
anyone in the league as close As? Lamar Even MAHOMES

(10:08):
i don't think would move the line that much because
they have a better team around.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
Him Josh, Allen, yeah BECAUSE i don't think That buffalo team's.
GREAT i Think buffalo needs help with the trade. Deadline
this might expose what they need at the trade. Deadline
Like Kansas city's favored by two and a half In.
Buffalo that's a little bit. SURPRISING i Know Kansas city's
played really well, recently But buffalo is going to need some.

(10:35):
Help and this might be an eye opener of, yeah
you need, this and you need this and MAYBE i
don't know if The dolphins would trade in the division With,
buffalo but if you can get an edge rusher there from, them.

Speaker 4 (10:49):
Because they have a couple of good.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
Ones BUT i don't know If miami's going to be
a seller at the trade, deadline But buffalo certainly sounds
like they're going to be a.

Speaker 4 (10:59):
Buyer All, right we'll get to phone calls coming.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
Up settle on or poll question any other pole questions
that we're considering first down or.

Speaker 8 (11:47):
THAT i.

Speaker 4 (11:49):
DO i always.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
Worry and it's sad to say, this but whenever The
Today show would be dressed up like a little bo,
pete you, Know Matt lower would be in some goofy,
outfit LIKE i was kind of hoping that there would
be a, disaster you, know a real serious news, story
that there would be discussing this while they have you,
know a wig on and, yeah and you're, like oh,

(12:16):
uh and that's WHAT i worry. About i've NEVER i
don't Think i've ever worn a costume on the show
over the, years BECAUSE i always think something's going to
happen and then HERE i, am you, know And.

Speaker 4 (12:26):
I'm dressed like A marvel. Character, Yes, tom but you.

Speaker 7 (12:29):
Never root for anything too. Tracked, no there's something like
maybe the stock market plummeted asert.

Speaker 4 (12:33):
Amount now you don't want ANYTHING i have a plan or,
anything nobody.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
Dying i'm just, saying you, know maybe something weather related.

Speaker 7 (12:42):
That would make it just awkward enough to not be
dressed like.

Speaker 4 (12:45):
That, yeah, yeah BUT i.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
DID i did kind of root for something to, happen
just because it would be so. Awkward but, uh all,
right so nobody because mc lovin always dressed. Up he
actually was pretty. Good some good wins, there but nobody's
gonna maybe the backroom, guys maybe some of those guys
will be dressing.

Speaker 3 (13:06):
UP i Think dylan is kind of our dress up.

McLevin dress up.

Icon coming, away we'll get to your phone calls coming.
Up settle on a poll. Question you've heard of pitchers
working on three days. Rest John smoltz working on three
hours of. Rest he was on the call last night
With Joe davis and The World series game and tomorrow
night Eight eastern On fox as the series shifts back To. Toronto,

(14:27):
john thanks for joining. Us game five the fifth time
in the last eleven postseason, games The dodgers managed just
two runs or. Less and you're going against a Blue
jay team that was known for its, hitting not its.
Pitching what is the big problem with The dodgers'.

Speaker 9 (14:42):
Bats, yeah you can't get in a funk seven out
of nine guys collectively and keep asking your starting pitching
to cover your lack of. Offense that's what they did
this whole. Postseason they, dominated you, know subconsciously when you
had a team before eight great. Starters there's it's not

(15:03):
literally this, way but you feel really good when you
get to the park that three runs is going to.
Win this offense last year for The dodgers was much. Better,
obviously they had to win a different. Way they won with.
Bullpens and, LOOK i mean it's not an, excuse but
the statistics and things that have been thrown out, there

(15:26):
which is mind boggling that a team that sweeps their
series facing a team that played a seven game series
has never won The World. Series it still blows my.
MIND i know it's just a stat but then you
start reading into maybe the layoffs do do harm to,
hitters you, know and then your timing is all thrown

(15:47):
out a whack and it's. Hard i've said this about
a starting pitcher that pitches twice in a. Series much
easier for him to make the adjustment in a series
than a hitter who's. Struggling the next day he's got
to make the adjustment and he's, struggling and the next
day he's got to do it. Again so it's definitely
the worst time of the year for that to. Happen

(16:08):
but The dodgers going to have to figure out a
way on the next two games to not solely rely
on their starting pitching for the only way for them to.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
Win what Made trey You savage Unhittable he got.

Speaker 9 (16:22):
Back to the mechanics in the field of that. SPLIT
i felt like he would make the necessary. ADJUSTMENTS i
watched too much, tape even though he hasn't thrown a
ton of games That i'd never seen two games in
a row where he didn't have a. Split he did
not have. It in the first game against The, dodgers
he abandoned it went to thirty two. SLIDERS i, think
which you, know it's a good. Pitch it's not his great.
Pitch the great pitch is his. Split BUT i thought

(16:45):
he was so mechanically sound and his fastball command was much.
BETTER i thought the last game he was short with,
it cutting it, off maybe trying to generate. Velocity and,
look it's a unique release, point and when he's able
to throw enough, strikes they don't really have a chance
on seeing too much evidence of somebody who throws like

(17:08):
this that they can throw as a.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
Comp WHAT i like last night is you talked about
gut everything's about, analytics but you leave you savage in
and you talked about this is a gut feeling By John.

Speaker 4 (17:21):
Schnyder.

Speaker 9 (17:22):
Yep and he learned the hard. Way he even talked
to it openly about you, Know i've LEARNED i had
to sleep all off. Season i'm making the decision taking
out my Starter burrels Against, minnesota and there were other
situations that didn't work out. Well and you, Know i've
always felt, like if you don't give a player a

(17:42):
moment in the, postseason you'll never know because in the
one sixty two they live and die by the. Numbers
and that's, fine BUT i think you've got to when
a guy's having a, moment you don't let the other
team breathe and take them out and feel better about you,
know any decision that you, make especially this time of the,

(18:05):
year that makes the other team go thank, you it
is not a great.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
Decision Blake snell gave up the home runs two of
the first three, pitches but he did settle, down which
is remarkable WHEN i can't imagine that Feeling, john when
you give up a home run to somebody to lead,
off and you, know a playoff, game now A World series, game.

Speaker 12 (18:28):
It's a.

Speaker 9 (18:28):
SHOCK i really thought that he was going to establish
his fastball because he didn't have a great fastball last.
Time And i'll tell you, what when they take that
away from, you immediately you got to go into a
mode where you're, like oh, man that game, plan like
a scripted game, plan is. Great but then they took

(18:50):
it away from. Him SO i did think he settled
down and made necessary. Adjustments and the one thing About
Blake snell is normally that outing would be good enough
to win a, game but the offense was not good
enough to win the.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Game in a, show is there any chance let's just
throw out hypotheticals The dodgers. Win Could Vlad Guerrero junior
somehow be THE mvp in a losing.

Speaker 9 (19:17):
Effort i'll tell you. What Vlad Guerrero junior has single
handly showed the world what it's like to be a
complete player and how The World series has absolutely been
his time here to show that for, everybody AND i
think for The Toronto Blue, jays for this, country for

(19:41):
everything that he signed on. FOR i said and asked the,
question Did vlad need The World series more than anybody?
Else AND i think the answer is, yes because of
everything that this, year this, contract he's been emotional about.

(20:01):
IT i think it's been an awesome display of what
a great player he, is because, obviously focusing On otani
is the easiest thing to, do because he's the greatest
player of our.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
UNIVERSE i talked To Kevin malar this week AND i
said That yamamoto reminds me Of Pedro. Martinez do you
see SIMILARITIES.

Speaker 9 (20:22):
I, do in the sense of the nastiness and his
ability to pitch in strike so and then to get
guys to chase the one thing That, yamamoto which Now
i'm like blown away when he went to the full
fen and what was going to be beginning, nineteen that's
ALL i needed to. See he instantly became for me

(20:43):
one of the. Guys i'll never forget that. Moment if
it were to go to the nineteenth after pitching a
nine inning complete game in today's game and then SAY
i want to go pitch in the, bullpen that was.

Speaker 4 (20:56):
Awesome would you rather pitch To otani or Vlad.

Speaker 9 (21:00):
Guerrero it's gonna sound, crazy But, otannie mainly because of
the left handed at that versus the right handed at,
THAT i would normally say right, handers but Vlad Garay
junior is a cross breed Between Miguel cabrera and the

(21:22):
ability to hit the power and average and his ability
to not come off certain pitches and swing. WILD i,
Mean poohols did the same thing to, it and like
facing either of those two right, handers but the one
thing you got to know Facing o'tani is you're going
to be. Embarrassed you're going to be, embarrassed but you
have a chance to strike him. Out and this year
he had more strikeouts than ever, understandably so just doing

(21:45):
the role and doing what he. Did so either, way
it's not a great, result BUT i feel like the
ability to pitch away and splits give you more chance
of strikeouts With otani than you do with The. Guerrero
and depending on your circumc, answers you may need that
strikeout more than you need the ability to pitch around,
somebody because you may not be able to do that

(22:06):
given the.

Speaker 4 (22:07):
Circumstances what do you expect to Happen friday?

Speaker 9 (22:09):
Night first and, foremost it's the lottest, place it's the
most insane. ATMOSPHERE i expect that to be off the chart.

Speaker 4 (22:19):
In all the baseball that's the loudest.

Speaker 9 (22:21):
By, far right, now by, far not even. CLOSE i
mean they're the, hungriest. Right they haven't been in a. While,
yeah and it's a whole. Country it's not a, city
it's a whole country rooting for the. TEAM i wouldn't
be surprised they had twenty five thousand sitting there waiting
for it to see if they'll workout.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
On.

Speaker 9 (22:39):
TODAY i mean they got a watch. Party it's pretty.
COOL i, mean all the hats came back, out you,
know it usually happens that, Way like in nineteen ninety,
one all The braves' hats came. Out it's been thirty two.
YEARS i expect The dodgers to be relentless in their
quest because much like The jays and, relentless The dodgers

(23:01):
have a, quiet calm. CONFIDENCE i say this before ever
since they were down two games to one last year
To San Diego, padre something, Clicks something changed internally for The.
Dodgers from a player's only, standpoint and the noises is
an't going To, literally the noise isn't going to bother,
them but the narratives that are following this club won't bother. Them.

(23:22):
Now it doesn't guarantee they're going to, win but that's
a great recipe for a chance to, defend which we
haven't seen in a long.

Speaker 4 (23:31):
Time quite as ballpark you ever pitched.

Speaker 9 (23:33):
In, montreal that's when that's when they used to have
not the technology that we have. Today and But. Montreal
actually the fiest ballpark ever pitched in was WHEN i
got my first year In atlanta because we didn't have

(23:54):
Any when you can hear the lights buzzing and the
vendors yelling you're in trouble, man that is Not i'll
never forget the first TIME i went to a comedy
club In atlanta and every single punch line was about
The Atlanta, Braves like this would be a good year
to paint the, seats you, know like there's this it's
just amazing how it turned and how the chop and.

(24:17):
Everything so cities that haven't one in a, while you're
going to have this incredible roar and.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
Excitement safe, Travels, john thanks for getting up with, us
and we'll be watching On friday, Night my.

Speaker 9 (24:31):
Pleasure.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
Thanks That's John smoltz on the call With Joe davis

On friday night at Eight eastern On, fox the series
shifts To. Toronto i'm trying to Remember SkyDome BECAUSE i
was up there for Those Blue jays back to Back World.
SERIES i, mean it was crazy When Joe carter hit

(24:52):
the home, run BUT i didn't remember it being a
home field advantage where certain ballparks, go, wow it's going
to be. LOUD i Mean, fenway because there was what
thirty three thousand before they Expanded Yankee, stadium the Old Yankee.

Speaker 4 (25:09):
Stadium trying to THINK i used.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
To go to Those braves games in the early nineties
and even in the eighties WHEN i was working In
atlanta and we got to pick so we would go
and sit in the left field and then we would
move to. Centerfield then we would end the night in
right field because we just followed the.

Speaker 4 (25:29):
Sun so we'd sit out there in left.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
FIELD i remember talking To Billy hatcher of The astros
in left, field and then we'd go to center, field
and then we'd go to right. Field we'd have a
vendor just sit there with us with those big trays of,
beers good, times and you could see that this was
the embryonic stages of something. Special because they did have
a lot of, talent but, nobody nobody went to those.

(25:54):
Games all, right a couple of phone calls in, here
let's See bert In.

Speaker 4 (25:59):
Toledo what's on your mind?

Speaker 5 (26:00):
Today good morning. ALL i have a couple of quick
compliments for.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
You.

Speaker 5 (26:06):
Dan number, one you are a great. Interviewer you understand
how important it is to get the other guy, talking
and then as he talks and reveals a bit about,
himself you can go for some deeper questions his, experiences et.

(26:27):
Cetera so good job, There thank. You, secondly you're very
broad in, sports AND i appreciate that because some of
your peers land on THE nfc and can never get
off of. It the you, know During Master's, Week i'm
not interested in who The Arizona cardinals are going to

(26:51):
draft him the second.

Speaker 4 (26:52):
Round, well thank, You.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
BERT i came, in you, know with being a fan of,
sports not, analytics and telling me WHAT i need to talk.

Speaker 4 (27:02):
About.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
NOW i did this AT, espn BUT i was a
company guy AT, espn and basically AT espn you HAVE
espn people on.

Speaker 4 (27:11):
To talk about things that are going to be ON.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
Espn and WHEN i left AND i first got together With,
PAULI i, SAID i just want this to be about my.
PERSONALITY i want this to be Things i'm interested. In
it may not be about sports all the. Time it's
certainly not going to be driven by analytics that say
these are the most popular stories In, america and most
of your shows are governed by, that they're dictated by.

(27:36):
THAT i, CAN'T i just. CAN'T i can't, say what
are The cowboys chances of winning their?

Speaker 4 (27:42):
Division that's not fair to.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
You, now there's a time and place for, everything and,
look a lot of these shows are really, successful and
maybe the analytics have something to do with, this BUT
i can't lead the show and talk about The Chicago.
BEARS i just, can't or The Pittsburgh, STEELERS i just.
Can't if there's something, there, great but that's all. Analytics

(28:05):
whenever you see that that they're being told what to.
Cover and maybe that's what you, want but there are
times when we want to talk about what we want
to talk about and, hopefully well that's WHY i have
the most loyal audience.

Speaker 4 (28:21):
With people doing this.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
Job and you know so you trust, me AND i
have great appreciation for that. Trust david In, Ohio, Hi

a day and he would say two words to. You
he would often, SAY i think we could have some
fun with. THIS a list of names would be, like

think it'd be. Fun let's call.

Speaker 12 (30:09):
Him.

there and all of his media, guides and then you

four hours to be able to come with an adequate

game back in the late, seventies AND i remember when

they would announce if you were in the, stadium please
come sit behind home plate because we are on. Television
and after they would do, it they would ask people
to move over to the first base line because it
was ON. TV i, mean it was terrible that that
stadium was the.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
Worst i'll tell you WHAT i hate WHEN i watched
The yankees. Games and then you'll get people who will
they know the camera angles and they'll be. Texting they
know they're ON, tv and then they'll be, texting and
then you, know somebody will text them and.

Speaker 4 (32:28):
SAY i can see, You.

Speaker 2 (32:29):

Speaker 4 (36:27):
Great.

Speaker 5 (36:27):
ZACH i was just wanting your.

Speaker 14 (36:30):
Question are your opinion on dynamic pricing on THE nba
and how it affects like the Average joe just going
there and you, know being able to see their team
and then not even being guaranteed to see who they
want to see.

Speaker 2 (36:45):
YOU i don't know anything about dynamic. Pricing we've said
that there should be insurance for people fans that if
you go to a, game or you have tickets in
The star Or stars aren't, playing you should be able
to opt out of that having insurance that you're going to.
Pay But i'm not aware of dynamic. PRICING i don't

(37:07):
know If, marvin are you aware of?

Speaker 9 (37:09):
THAT i am.

Speaker 2 (37:10):
Not, okay, YEAH i mean we can look at, it
BUT i haven't bought tickets in a long, time SO
i apologize for not exactly being up to speed on.
That john And, ANNAPOLISH I, john what's on your mind?

Speaker 4 (37:26):
Today?

Speaker 15 (37:28):
Hey Dan Dennet's john five foot, nine old guy one.
Ninety oh, god it's my first, time but not a
long time.

Speaker 5 (37:38):
Listener. DAN i started watching.

Speaker 16 (37:39):
And listening a few years. Ago came over from another
nationally syndicated talk show that was very.

Speaker 9 (37:45):
POPULAR i think you guys.

Speaker 16 (37:46):
All KNOW i might know Who i'm talking, about same time.
Slot BUT i really like your interview, style like the
for other callers, said AND i really like the way
your show stays on, topic don't really bring in, politics and.

Speaker 9 (38:03):
There's only a couple of shows.

Speaker 16 (38:04):
Like that like your, guys and Maybe rome does that,
Also but really appreciate that and just wanted to say thank,
you thank You.

Speaker 3 (38:14):
John yeah, see it's a perfect time to get into
the governor Of. Louisiana by the.

Speaker 4 (38:17):
Way yeah, boy this story is. Wild you know. What
let me wait till the top of the.

Speaker 2 (38:23):
Hour but The governor Of louisiana is involved in the
coaching search and for LSU's next football. Coach we'll have
that for you coming up at the top of the.
Hour he had some interesting comments about the acting athletic
director AT lsu and how he will not be involved
in the coaching.

Speaker 4 (38:43):
Search, Yes, paul by.

Speaker 6 (38:44):
The, way there's nothing more sec than this. Story dynamic
pricing is when the secondary ticket market. Fluctuates they almost
collude to fluctuate ticket prices based off. Demand like If
luca were, out they'll drop them for A laker, game
but if It's lebron game to break some type of,
record they will collectively boost up the. Prices it's but

(39:07):
THE nba can't do it and teams can't do. It
your prices are your. Prices but once the tickets are
in the secondary, market they could do what they.

Speaker 2 (39:13):
Want do we need A pearl jam to take a
stand with dynamic pricing like they did with concert tickets years.
Ago it was that Ticket master that they went. After it's, Crazy, Yes, Marvin.

Speaker 8 (39:25):
That's why WHENEVER i go to AN nba, GAME i
try to see the nets and not The knicks because
it's always going to be. Cheaper, Like, Oh lebron's coming
To New. YORK I we'll see him play the, nets
not The.
