Speaker 1 (00:00):
Again eyebrow raising results happening so far in Major League Baseball,
in the in the playoffs and the wildcard said.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
The only thing, the only one that.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Has not been any kind of real surprise, has been
the one in San Diego. The Padres shut out the
Braves last night for to nothing. Fernando Tattis Junior in
a monstrous home run in the game. Michael Kelly pitched
really well at the start for the Padres. It it would
be hard to beat. Gene Watson, you know, our MLB
(00:35):
insider from the Chicago White Sox front office, joined us
on the program yesterday. He picked the Patterys to win
the World Series, all of it. He picked him to
win the Wildcard series. Of the Braves, he picked them
to beat the Dodgers in the Division Series and then
to beat the Phillies in the National League Championship Series.
And then he said the San Diego Padres would win
(00:57):
the World Series over the Cleveland guard He thinks the Guardians,
and again the Guardians get the winner of this Detroit
Houston series. And again if the Tigers find a way
to win this thing, and it's two to two in
the eighth right now, and They've got two runners on
with two outs, including the go ahead running and scoring
position at second base.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Ryan Presley's out of the pen.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Now for Houston, if they find a way to get
the lead in this and now the bases are loaded
on a walk. If they find a way to get
the lead and then they win that series, you'd have
one of the favorites, one of the hotter teams going
into the postseason. Houston out in two straight at home,
but it's not done yet. There are two outs in
(01:37):
the inning, and there's going to be a pitching change there.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
At minute they parked. The Astros have to win to
force a final game tomorrow, so that has that has
to happen.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
And then uh and Josh Hader I think is coming
out of the Houston pen and then Uh, same thing
with Baltimore. Baltimore was one of the hotter teams. They'd
slumped a little bit and then got hotting in right
toward the end. Kansas City had done the exact same
thing after having this incredible season what with Kansas City
losing over one hundred games last year and a great
(02:12):
season this year for the Royals to get to the
wild Card round and we'll see what happens in that
series in Baltimore and again if they win one more
than they go on to New York.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
So now we go on.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
We get ready to go on to the next.

but we have Khalil Randall running things and keeping us

(04:51):
hour of the program, the updating the baseball for you
right now. Houston and Detroit tied it to Tiger's batting
with the bases loaded and two outs on the top
of the eighth inning. Most of the scoring has happened
late in this contest.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
In fact, a basis loaded walk? Is that? What? It was?
A basis loaded walk issued by Josh? Is that? Well?
Speaker 1 (05:14):
I said, no, I guess it was just time called
out of that. So the base is still loaded with
two outs. Yeah, it was a basis loaded walk, and
the Tigers have taken the lead again. It's three to two.
Josh Hater just issued a basis loaded walk with two
outs in the eight. Spencer Torklesen drew the walk and
has just gone the first base in de Troy has
now gone back in front of Houston.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
It is three to two.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Is the Tiger's bat in the top of the eighth
inning with two outs, and that against Josh Hater, the closer.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
So that's what's happened in this game. I say it
was a basis loaded walk.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Torkleson went down the first I guess it just loaded
the bases there and the graphic headed walks and the
bases are still two two. Sorry, did meta Panicastros fans
are I'm watching on a very very small monitor and
it didn't have the out indicator listed on there. They
do now it's still just two two. It's not a
three to two boggame. It's two two. The bases are
(06:07):
loaded now though, as Josh Hater issued a two outwalk,
so Tiger still batting two to two. Top of the
eighth two outs. Kansas City continues to leave Baltimore. It's
one to nothing as the Royals lead the Ools. That's
in the top of the second inning, and that contest
at the Oriel Park at Camden Yards, So we'll keep
you updated on those. Walgmurt's head coach Steve Sarksan took
(06:30):
part in the SEC teleconference today and one of the
questions that he was asked was about the thing about
learning to play with emotion but not play emotion is
It's something we've heard sark mentioned quite a bit in
the past. He says, we want our guys to play
with emotion, but we don't want them to play emotionally,
(06:54):
and he explained how he came into that mindset. Like
with so many other things, all roads lead back to
Nick Saban.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
I had a hard time putting it into words. O
Saban more eloquently used this term that I'm referencing that
I kind of took with me because it really resonated
with me. I didn't know how to say it, but
I knew what he was meaning. And then once he
said it the way that he said it, like I said,
it resonated with me and I've kind of carried it
with me ever since.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Okay, all right, that was that was one thing, and
then one other question was asked, and there's a lot
of experience in this, and it's all about the backup quarterback.
When Sartin played at b YU, really even when he
played at El Caamuno Community College in California, he had
been a backup quarterback and then and then had.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
A great sophomore season.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Then he went to BYU and rolled in initially as
a backup and then became the starter and had a
great finish to his collegiate career at BYU. UH since
he has been the head coach of Texas, he had
had to turn to the backup quarterback on several occasions.
That has happened as well. So because of that, it
(08:10):
has been a situation where he's you know, you think
about it when he had had some card on back
and Casey Thompson was there and all of that sort
of thing. And of course since Quinn yours has been
the starter, he's had to turn to the backup quarterback.
But that was due to injury Malik Murphy having to
come on for Quinn the last couple of seasons and
(08:32):
then of course earlier the season Arch Manning having to
step in when Quinn was injured. So he was asked
about that and about getting the backup quarterback's reps so
that they can be well prepared for the eventuality if
he has to go to a backup quarterback.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
And when I was a starter, I never wanted the
backup to coming to the game, even for a play.
And I remember my senior year of college, I have
been banged up and the coaches wanted to run a
quarterback draw.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
Honey, you're not.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
They called the play and they called the planet. I
scored a touchdown, So you know, I've got respect for
a guy who's the starting quarterback and the rhythm that
it's needed to play with. So no, that's not something
I've ever entertained.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Okay, So there it is, and some thoughts there from
Longhorn's head coach Steve Sarkishan.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
In Houston, it has been broken open, at least for
the moment. A big two out, bases clearing double, my
pinch hitter Andy A Bonyez has cleared off the bases
and the Tigers have taken a five to two lead
(09:50):
on the Astros. Astros just recorded the final out of
the inning, but at Bonyees with a bass is clearing
double to score three runs and the Astros down to
six house left in their season right now, going to
the bottom of the eight Tigers up five to two,
having one game one yesterday.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Three to one. We'll keep you updated on that, all right.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Coming up next, we'll visit with the play by play
voice of the Houston Texans, Mark vandermir to talk about
the Texans and their battles in the AFC South. That's
next when we continue here on this Wednesday afternoon on
Sports Radio AM thirteen under the zone of the iHeartRadio
