Speaker 1 (00:00):
Today is October thirtieth. The Yankees lost the World Series.
All right, well, here we are at Yankee Stadium recording
right after the game ends. Hopefully the audio is decent enough.
Jake's here, I'm here. I don't know even know how
long this is going to be. We've done these final
(00:22):
episodes a lot, and usually it's whatever.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Yanks lost, Jack.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Jimmy Davis, everyone tuning in, Hey, how are you go.
I'll get it out of the way just in case
I forget at the end.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Thanks to everyone. Another crazy season.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
We walked up to the stadium today and like people
treated us like we were fucking Michael Kay or something.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
So that was nuts.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
But I think we're all feeling the same feeling of
we got what we expected, but in a messed up way.
You know, this, this team that got to the World
Series that maybe in an off season will feel better about.
They really had an opportunity in front of them and
(01:11):
they blew it, and they they blew it in a
way that they couldn't fathom, that the whole fan base
could fathom.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Yeah, they're probably still gonna chalk this up to it's
baseball shit happens. No, man, you guys, this is what
we've said about this team for a long time.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
The skills of baseball, the raw.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Talent they have in spades, Judge homers, Jazz homers, Stan homers.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
They get a lot of hits.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Judge doubles, Judge makes an inceptional running catch. Yeah, through
four innings or through three and a half innings, they
had scored in every inning.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Cole had a no hitter going.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
They were like, the skills and raw talent we're on display.
And then they showed Fat Joe on the JumboTron to
pump the crowd up.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I said right away, No, that's the other thing.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Yankee Stadium, Pa and all, they gotta get your act together.
You're crazy, You're just it's a mess. It's an absolute mess.
But we'll stay on the game. And then they just
they just fuck up fundamentals and focus, like for since
twenty eighteen. Go back and find the episode when they
got four games swept in Boston in twenty eighteen. They
(02:36):
got swept all four games twenty eighteen, and we said,
what happened? Why are they so unfocused? How do they
just lose focus? How are they so bad at fundamentals?
And now We're seven years running just this team, which
is lose focus like that dude, Judge drops a ball
that goes into his glove. Volpi five nothing game, the
(02:57):
lead runner does not matter, trying to turn two, try
and keep the double play in order, tries to get
the leader on or to Jazz.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Who doesn't play the game at third base.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
He has awesome raw skills of baseball, so he can
get by, but he's not fundamentally sound as like an
in between third baseman, and Volpi's short arms to throw.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Jazz can't get it.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Then Cole gets its base is loaded now and Cole's
got to do it all by himself.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Strikes out the next batter, strikes out the next batter.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Two outs now, and that was Lux and Otani or
something like that, or Smith and Otani.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
And then gets Mookie to weekly ground out.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
And Rizzo just lets the ball fucking roll to him
as slow and flat footed as he possibly could, and
Cole doesn't cover.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Cole has to cover.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
But Rick, Riz, if you're gonna let it roll to
you that slowly, look up and see if he's coming.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Fucking Christ.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
It was five consecutive outs and the Yankees converted three
of the two of them.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Sorry, Judge, is as unacceptable as it gets. Closed his
glove to early, maybe trying to double up the runner
on first if he caught a click. But it's a
World Series game like these aren't. These are things that
if we talk about in a mid season, mid season
Cleveland recap, you're.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Like, WHOA, how bad was that?
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Can't see that? Ever, again, it's the World Series. All
of that happened in one inning, one inning.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
And like, the Dodgers were a much better team.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
I thought their lineup is much better, deeper, they were clicking,
they were playing small baseball.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
They were They're not a better team, They're better at
being focused at baseball. Yeah, the Yankees should have won
games one. In Game five, they should be three to
two heading to La.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
The Yankees beat themselves exactly. The Claybor doesn't stop the
ball when it's thrown in.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
They are really talented.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
But the Dodgers, they they've been through this, they know
what it takes. They've gone through the losses, they've gone
through the highs. The example ou is on talking Baseball,
Max Munths he got told by the team, you need
to play a better third base or we don't have
a spot for you. We have showh at DH and
Freddie at first. You need to get better at third
base or we don't have a spot for you. So
(05:20):
he got better at third base. He turned his metrics
completely around. The Yankees traded for Jazz Chisholm, who hadn't
played a day of baseball in his life at third base.
We told Aaron Boone, we said, hey, you guys might
want to sub him out late because some of the
routine stuff he's as naturally gifted as a player gets.
It's awesome. He's awesome. I love Jazz. It's not a
(05:42):
work ethic thing. He's never played there. And the Yankees
look befuddled. What take him out? And it's just the
whole mindset around the organization that leads to these mental laps.
They told us for a month that Clay Holmes was
the best reliever in baseball. Go check out the whole
interviews during the month of June. I think they all
(06:03):
stepped in front of the mic and they were like, well,
Clay Holmes is the best reliever in baseball.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
We got to get him a walk up song.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Do you still think he is also botched? The walk
up song.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
It's just false belief that they think is belief. And
they had that same thing today when it was five nothing.
They thought they already won this game. They were on
the plane to LA and then they they embarrassed themselves.
There three errors in one World Series inning, zero earned runs.
Garrett Cole dropped it.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
Today.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
We should be talking about Garrett Cole for eight, Luke
Weaver for one.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Why did Luke Weaver not start the ending?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
They bring Kinley in when Weaver's gonna get six outs anyway,
and Weaver got the chuck fucking job done. The only
runs that scored were sack flies. They weren't his runners,
they were Kineley's. He got all six fucking outs. How
is that game not? Cole to Weaver, dude, should what
are you doing?
Speaker 4 (06:55):
It's because they don't focus.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
He didn't get all the outs because Lighter had to
come in and get the US at the end.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Whatever. But there's no.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
They just think the fundamentals, you're a pro, you're fine.
But then the minor leaguers that go through the system
say they never taught the fundamentals. Dude, Yeah, there's just
extreme focus lapses, non stop. Glaber doesn't stop that ball
Otani gets the third.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
That's like the game there, yep.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
I mean that the Dodgers were ready to pump this game.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Volpe just straight up didn't score on a double when
he was on second. If there's so many things in
this World Series that were not the Dodgers outskilled them,
which I think they also did, they were just the.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Yankees are just the Dodgers are great.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Fucking unfocused and dude, like Joe Sherman has been harping
on this in his articles, we've been harping on this,
like it's not like we are making this narrative, but
the Yankees just straight up don't believe it.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
No, no, And I mean we've.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Hey, thank you guys again, subscribe all that good stuff.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Everything helps.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Man.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
It's uh, it's embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Sense of interference and then three disengagements.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Yeah, what are we doing. You're embarrassing yourselves.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
If you're hearing any extra noise right now, the Dodgers
are starting their celebration on the Yankees field where the
Yankees played New York, New York, where they played clean
that New York coming off the field. It's they they
care so much about their image and how they're viewed
and some of the little stuff they do is insane.
And uh, credit to the Dodgers who they They went
(08:36):
on and they continued to kill created.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Through forty pitchers. They had to go to Walker Bueller
at the end.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
There it was all set up for them to win.
This game they beat They got fired out early.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
They were up five nothing and they gave up five
unearned runs. That's one of the biggest World Series embarrassments
of all time.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
I don't have to look it up. I don't have
to look it up.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
They Yeah, then one game they won, the Dodgers threw pitchers.
They didn't give a fuck about It's true. It's true.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Dodgers fans ken, this was This was the definition of
a gentleman suite. Yes, the one game the Yankees won,
the Dodgers shrugged.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
This game. The Dodgers wanted to win.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
He usually he well, once they got in there, he
used all of their relievers.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
They got a six out innings. They were planning on
not winning, and then they got a six out inning.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
How does that fucking happen? Dude?
Speaker 4 (09:35):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Maybe lighting it up.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Maybe it's better for us to keep a more honest fingerprint.
Thumb on the franchise because when they were up five
to nothing in the fifth or whatever and the fourth,
I think all of us were like, hey, let's bring
this back to La Maybe ro Don will be special,
maybe someone maybe they'll go nuts in the lineup.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Maybe. No.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
No, the one game you won was against Dodgers triple
A pitcher, So uh you got to the World Series
in one of the easier paths to get there in
recent memory.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
And uh yeah, I mean we we.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Look at the sweet I got from three to fifteen
tweet update. Third most unearned runs allowed in their World Series.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
It's five games.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Fourth most men left on base in a World Series.
He said would be a bad loss in late April,
But this is what they did all year, dude.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Yeah, yeah, I think that was the funny thing. No
Yankee fan was surprised, Like I think if you, I
think if you if if a team did this in
a World Series game and you did a pan to
the stands 't fans like in shock, like what my
team just collapsed?
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Like no way.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Yankee fans were just kind of like, yeah, this team
does that, and that's insane. That's insane. That shouldn't happen.
The Yankees lost Game.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
One on a relay throw. They labored in.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Field that could have been coached out of him the
past seven years, but instead you said, no, we're the
Las Fair Yankees. They'll figure it out. They're talented. No, No,
you've traded Volpi like the king of the world. And
he had a fun postseason, man, and I hope he
builds on that. But man, that kid could have been
taught lessons along the way.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Virduergo had a worst season than Joey Gallo.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
We saw a kid cry tonight That actually right broke
me up. We saw a kid cry tonight because he's
a young he's a nine year old that likes baseball
and he didn't think the Yankees would lose like that.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
That made me sound.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
You hope it gives them a taste for this and
trying to get better. This Dodger team lost a couple
times along the way.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
My only hope is like Wells Jazz, and we'll get
into all this as we go.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
They can make adjustments, you know.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
They like Muki was oh for eleven or whatever last
playoffs and for into the last playoffs, and he came
in the spring training he said.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
I'm not doing that again. I'm gonna figure out how.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
To make sure I'm in a better spot come postseason
to face these pictures in these situations, and these are
their first time doing it.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
So I hope that.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
But do I think the Yankees will learn from right
from this? They'll say no, they were proud of themselves
for losing the wild card game in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
They'll say no, it's the roar of the Dodgers celebrating. Then, Yeah,
Dodgers signed Otani, they got Yamamoto, they brought in ta
Oscar for a year.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah, what was the other blunder yesterday? Volpi didn't score
from second on the well saying didn't turn the bulb
of play, glabor didn't turn that doll players cost to run.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
They both homered in that game. So we said, okay,
And that's.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
What I like, if you were to do a montage
of blunders. Fuck no, and like not even having anyone
to pinch it for Verdugo at the end there, like
not even establishing that along the way, calling Domingos up
earlier and say hey, dude, you might have a role
(13:26):
on this team. It might be to pinch it in
certain spots. We want to practice that down down the way.
We're going to get you reps here.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
That he could have been the starting left fielder for
the whole postseason if he got called up like a
week earlier and.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
Caught fly balls. So yeah, I don't know. It's weird.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
When you go to a game, you have some images
that get stuck in your head. There was one guy
sitting below us that had one of the weirdest bald
patterns I've ever seen.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
So I was thinking about you, wasn't.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
I think it was a little colder, like in the
in the summer. They let they like that, They let.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
On there grow it a little bit with me.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
I have an image I wanted to fight the guy
next to us.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Waldo and Domingas on the top step with the dugout
watching the fifth inning wearing numbers ninety five and eighty nine,
and it's just symbolic of the Yankees not getting it.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
As Waldo has been a part of the team for
a while, he.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Probably likes ninety five now because he's one of the nicer,
coolest people I've ever met.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
He does. They offered a change and he said, fuck you.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
You either they either choose to treat you like you
are the king of the world.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
You are Anthony Voltby. You get handed everything, and.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Dude, I still I still have high hopes for Volpey.
He showed us some stuff this postseason defensively.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Whatever sounds focused.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Just a reminder what we've passed on the past couple
of years. Labor and Voltey had great postseasons and everyone's like, well, yeah,
they got some rest and they were focused. They took
the game more seriously. It's not it's one sixty two
in baseball happens. It's no, we need to win today
and the Yanks just more of that, like that want
it's one sixty two attitude should happen the next morning.
(15:07):
The next morning you wake up and you say, okay,
we got a new game today. I got to go
out and do my thing. Paul o'neelius practicing in the outfield.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Are we doing fireworks?
Speaker 4 (15:19):
I don't know what that was. Oh yeah, there's some
flares out there. I don't know, man, I don't know.
You want to know.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
It was a dark conversation me and Jose McFly had
the other day. How tough they were on Gary Sanchez
and how much better he was than any young player
we've seen recently.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Oh yeah, I mean, dude, there's there's.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
They got rid of shit and he is on the
fastest to one hundred homers list.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
They they got rid of Girardi because he was too hard.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Come in Joseph, he was too hard.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
And they haven't developed a prospect since. Let's who have
they developed since.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
In this era? What young prospect has come up and succeeded?
Speaker 1 (16:10):
But that's that's that's jaduis Gary.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Yeah, because you.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Were listening and you're a very well thought out guy,
and I respect your thoughts.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
Go eat listen, man. I think this this game was
like the encapsul encapsulation of the season.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Basically, Yeah, it felt like.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Boom.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
They gave you this hope, They show you all of
this promise with the offense and all of that stuff.
Garrick Cole was awesome. You have the formula to win
this game today. Now, I don't think.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
I don't know. Obviously not. They weren't gonna be the Dodgers.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
They were, they got down three l but this whole
series kind of put into your face, Hey, you know what,
maybe work on these fundamentals dog Like, I don't care
if they're major leaguers. They don't even position themselves correctly
when they have to cut balls off, Like it's just
like little things like that. And the Dodgers showed you,
bro every game that they lost, even the games that
(17:12):
the Dodgers are trying to give away, the Yankees were
still fundamentally like keeping the Dodgers in the games.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
There's a world where they lose to the Dodgers and
we say, shit, Dodgers outplayed.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Us yiggas, beat themselves Game one.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
They beat themselves so many times in the series, and
they were bad at that all all year.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
You know what bothers me is that they're gonna take
this as like almost like you know we're close when
it you know.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Yeah, yeah, but you are, but you are.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
And learn what went wrong and how can one team
make so many fundamental mistakes in a series. And if
that is not something they take away from this, then
we're lost. Man, We're lost until Boone's ten years run out.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
That's what he said.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
We like a manager to be around for ten years,
and we're lost until and hopefully the next person that
comes in. Really, really is this fucking hard ass dude.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
This was like that boom this bad.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Fundamentals never was never a fucking problem. Game awareness was
never something we complained about.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Did you look at anyone on the Dodgers and say, WHOA,
they're not fundamentally strong. No, they got motherfuckers that can
play every position.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
And well, I think Tommy edn't made an error at shortstop,
but it was like on a like a really good
it would have been a really good play or that,
you know, the little Rizzo play that was up the middle,
but other than that, there was nothing they played clean.
And that's our championship team should look like. You gotta
(19:02):
make all the outs, bro, like the fact that you
hit a ground ball too shortstop and that is not
converted into an out. And Vopia has been awesome, but
you gotta know, like it's just awareness, like you're up
five five, just get an out.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
I mean that was tough.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
That fifth inning was like one of the toughest things
that I had to watch, knowing that we had exactly
the formula that we needed to get back to LA.
I don't know at the end you wanted to have
these guys.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
You had a one run lead.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
And Weaver was out there anyway, Why didn't you just
start the inning with him? You guys probably talked about
that already. But it's like, I don't arm was a
nice guy. I don't think he's the guy for the job, bro.
I don't think he's the guy that the Yankees eventually
win their next World Series with.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
I don't think so.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
I think that when it comes to the certain decisions,
that he doesn't want to make certain things because he
doesn't want to ruffle certain feathers, or like be a
bad guy. Sometimes you got to be the manager, bro,
Like yeah, and you're you owe it to the other
twenty six guys on the roster, so you know, maybe
either disciplined is one guy, or like maybe shuffle around
(20:19):
this other guy.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Yeah, play was awful. He was only a closer because
they made him a closer, so they.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Like sign him as a free agent. Be the closer. Crazy.
I'm gonna end it with this SoundBite from Jeter, the.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
World to accomplished you lost, accomplished something by at least
getting to the world what you accomplished you lost, where
as an accomplishments, though, which is the one that's more special.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
We're going down there.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
When we win.
Speaker 6 (20:52):
That's it. Isn't that playing as simple for you?
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Though? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (20:56):
I mean that's why you play.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Isn't winning one misery for you?
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (20:59):
What's life for you?
Speaker 6 (21:01):
It's tough. You played a win in anything. You want
to raise me down the street, I'm gonna beat you
because it's that. It's black and white for me. You know,
I don't think you're happy finished in second or happy
get into a World Series. The goal is to win.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
I don't win.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
That not fun to be out.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
So what's worse.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Two thousand and seven or two thousand and one, two
thousand and three you get to the World Series, be
lose or not even making it to the World Series?
Speaker 2 (21:31):
I mean, how do you rate losing?
Speaker 5 (21:33):
Review?
Speaker 6 (21:34):
I just I don't.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
I've never understood it.
Speaker 6 (21:37):
You know, well it felt it feels better because we
made it to the World Series and lost.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
My phone died. But yeah, he's right, Gitter raised me.
That's how I feel about ship. That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
That is not what they'll say.
Speaker 5 (21:54):
No, how do you rate losing?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
You lost?
Speaker 3 (22:01):
I feel very bad for Garrett Cole and nobody else stand.
I mean you can say like Sodo, but I mean
Garrettle got.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Fucked it up.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Yeah, Art Garrett all had it, dude.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
He was making a legendary stuff.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
He was making the Dodgers invisible the first four innings.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Oh who's up, doesn't matter. Cole was spectacular.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
I I loved everything that I seen from Cole. He
like he showed up. They showed a video of him,
like I guess when they lost.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
And he was slamming. He slammed like the you know
the dug out they have like these poles or whatnot.
He like slammed it. And he said, you said, just
know there's no vibe of let's make changes.
