Speaker 1 (00:00):
Craig Way, alongside the producer Cameron Parker, plenty to discuss
not only the Longhorns game and win over Vanderbilt and
the upcoming bye week on the schedule, the rest of
the SEC and national college football scene. We'll get to
that next hour of the program. Game three of the
(00:20):
World Series is tonight. It's in the Bronx, It's in
New York, a Yankee Stadium. Dodgers lead the Yankee two
games to none, and Gene Watson, our MLB Inside will
join us for his examination of the first two games,
which were really interesting and that both came down to
I didn't think about this until I read about it
(00:41):
later like this morning, that both games, Cameron Parker, came
down to bases loaded to out, nine tending situations decided
in entirely different fashions, although in both cases it went
to the Dodgers' advantage. The Freddie Freeman Grand Slam on Friday,
in what was a really entertaining game, went back and
(01:03):
forth of scoreless going into the sixth Dodgers get a run.
Yankees get that monstrous to run homer from John Carlo Stanton.
Dodgers scratch and claw to find a way and he
ate the tiet the Yankees and it goes into the tenth,
and then the Yankees get the run in the top
of the tenth, and then there's Freddy Freeman after after
(01:23):
the intentional walk to load the vases and boom, Freddy
Freeman goes deep with the Grand Slam home run in
the Dodgers win Game one, Game two Saturday night. And
that was the deal when we were talking about me
going and getting the chicken damage from Bojangles a race
back in the hotel room. I didn't get back in
the room watching it till the bottom of the seventh,
but got there and then obviously saw that come down
(01:45):
to there in the ninth when the Dodgers got out
of the bases loaded jam in the ninth after the
Yankees had scored a run in La wins it by
a score of four to two, so they're up two
games to nine. Did you were you watching Friday? Watching
watching on Friday? And you know I texted you in
hard after Freeman's walk off Grand Slam because remember Game
(02:09):
one of last year's World Series, Corey Seeger, with two
outs in the bottom of the ninth, hit a solo
shot that tied it up, that sent it to extras
and then a Doulas Carcia had a walk off home
run in extra inning. So I think it's back to
back years where we've had a walk off home run
to the side.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Game one where the home team won. So now Game two,
I was an ugly diamondback that just blew out the Rangers.
So Game two came out of the bout ninth inning.
You might question a few Craig, is, how is your
mental health? How's your heart rate? You know, did you
need blood thinners? I mean it's a lot when when
both games come down the ninth inning, because I think
playoff baseball it's so much fun, Craig, but I feel
(02:46):
like out of all the sports, it has a different
level of anxiety with it because all it takes is
just one pitch to go wrong or go right, and
that can completely decide the outcome of the game.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Yeah, that, you know, and I kind of, you know
what else, I kind of equated to a Stanley Cup
final playoff game because it can change so quickly, you know, uh,
to do that? I was when they squandered The Dodgers
squandered a couple opportunities to add more runs, and particularly
I didn't have a real good feeling going into that
(03:18):
bottom of the tenth, especially after the yank hees Haid
scored in the top of the tenth. I agree, but
you know, when the walk came to pitch to Freddie Freeman,
I thought, he's I was just thinking a base hit.
He's capable of putting one in the gap that tie. I,
like everybody else, couldn't leave. It was a grand slam,
(03:38):
and it happened. And then in Game two I could
see It's almost like I could see the gas going
out of the tank of Blake training there in the night,
and that it was going to get in away, getting away,
and then he gives way to Vessia and Lynn and
I were texting. I said to think about VESSI is
this he could strike the guy out or hit him
and tie the score. And it only took one pitch,
(04:01):
but it was a pop up and that was the end.
And so it's two games done. But I and I'm
not just saying this because of being a Dodger fan.
I'm also saying this as a realist who's watched a
lot of baseball over the years, that this series is
far from over all that has happened is that the
home team has defended its home turf in the first
two games. There's that old saying that the best of
(04:22):
seven series really doesn't start until a road team wins
a game. So we'll see how it is. And the
pitching is still better set up for the Yankees, even
though the Dodgers have gotten uncharacteristically at least for this
year and this postseason in particular, good starting pitching in
the first two games, both from Jack Flaherty who went
five innings, and then Yoshinoba Yamamota went six and a
(04:46):
third and did a really good job with that. So
but the bullpens looked a little more vulnerable in each
of those two games, giving up some runs, and the
Yankees will say the Yankees got to get Aaron Judge going.
He just really floundering right now. So we'll see. As
far as we know, Shoe Aotani will play. It is
(05:07):
a sublexation of his left shoulder, but Dave Roberts sounded
confident yesterday that he probably would be back in action.
So we'll discuss more of that with Gene Watson coming up. Okay,
let me answer this Craig. Yeah, so you mentioned you
watched the game in your hotel room. I did. So.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
You also said that Roger Will went to a sports bar.
So are you someone that does not like to watch
when your team plays with other people, you.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Want to be by yourself. Well, in that particular instance,
I didn't because I didn't know the surroundings of that
particular sports bar there. Rogers said, I wouldn't have enjoyed it.
On Friday Audios, I ordered a pizza in the room
and sat and ruminated. Rogers said, I would not have
enjoyed it in the sports bar because there was a
how shall I put this, an ecumenically based conference going
(05:56):
on in the hotel. So he said, there were a
lot of church faith based people in that sports bar
who were not spending much money at the bar, but
they were kind of loud and boisterous and all that
other kind of stuff, and it would have been difficult
to concentrate on what I was watching and hearing and
things like that. That's why I thought about doing it
the next night. And I'm at this point, it's so
(06:18):
late in the game and I'm hungry. Just grab something
and go to the room. That's why I'm not university
opposed to that. I remember when the Dodgers lost the
Cubs in sixteen, in twenty sixteen game six, when they
beat Kershaw in one game six and the Cubs we're
going to go to the World Series. I watched that
in a pizza joint near the Kansas City Airport. I
(06:43):
had a hotel room there and I was going to
come back the next morning, but I watched it in
this pizza sports bar thing. I remember watching that, So
I'm not universally opposed to it. It's just that particular
set of circumstances. I wasn't up for it. So we'll see.
We'll all be watching on that. Okay. I know you
were watching yesterday the end of Washington in Chicago. Now
(07:04):
there's two things at work here on this. I have
a stat for you too. Okay. First of all, it
was the Bears. Remember trying when they could have put
things away, when they tried to do the refrigerator Perry
thing and the handoff and he got fumbled, and so
(07:29):
that was that was one thing. But then they go
ahead and they take the lead, and then it comes
down to the you know, after Roshawn Johnson had scored
the touchdown the former long one to give the Bears
the lead. So then you see what happens with there
were in the in the waning seconds of the game,
(07:51):
the Bears had two seconds to work with. So are
the commanders did oh Chicago rush three linemen? They had
a fourth defender spy for when Jane Daniels was going
to get out of the pocket, and none of the
defenders really got close to him, and he rolled one
(08:13):
side and he rolled back to the other side as well,
and then the Bears had had put guys down by
the goal line and one bay. It actually is kind
of a basic play when you throw a hail Mary's
that you put one guy behind, yeah, the scrum in
case it's a tip drill, Well, it's a defense. You
(08:34):
got to put one guy on that guy that there
were five guys, five guys on the ball coming down,
nobody behind nobody, and uh it was Tyreek Stevenson over
there taunting the fans and oh wait, I gotta go
finish defending this play. And he goes run it over
there and he's the one who tips it. Uh to
(08:56):
do it? Just a ma that that happened. And then
Noah Brown catches it. It's a touchdown when the game's over.
Oh man.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
So this is from Mike Sando with the Athletic Craig.
The Commanders were the forty eighth team since two thousand
the takeover possession down three at least seventy five yards
away from the opponent's goal line, with about fifteen to
twenty five seconds remaining on the game clock when the
ball was kicked off to them. Now, the previous forty
seven teams, five made game time field golds, two missed
(09:31):
the field goal.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
None.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
None had ever scored a touchdown until Washington did it yesterday. Wow,
creating history. And you know, I know they're an NFC
East rival. I know my dad and a lot of
other Cowboy fans grew up hating the Redskins at the time.
But with all the Dan Snyder stuff, Craig that's happened
(09:53):
to them, this feels like good karma, right. I feel
like we can root for them because of all the
crap with them in the stadium. And I don't know,
I like Jayden Daniels. You know, Sam Cosby plays for
them for me to Texas Longhorns, So kind of a
you know, a feel good story, and it's a lot
better than seeing the Eagles of Giants win. So okay,
But for Chicago, you know, now, because they've had a
(10:16):
pretty easy schedule, that's the game you probably should win.
You win that, you have five wins, and now you're
looking at I think they have to play Detroit twice.
I think they have Green Bay twice. I think they
have Minnesota twice, if I if I remember correctly, maybe
they played one of those before. Now the schedule gets
really tough, gets really tough. So Chicago's gonna look back
on that as one man, how do we.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
How do we lose that? Tyreek Stevenson did apologize. That's good,
that's haunting the Washington crowd. Second blaces to Chicago and teammates.
My apologies for lack of awareness and focus. The game
made over till zero hit the clock. Can't take anything
for granted. Notes taking improvement will happen. Hashtag bear down.
(10:56):
So there was all right. Coming up. We'll hear more
from long Ward's head coach, Steve Sarkisian here on sports
Radio AM thirteen under the Zone and the iHeartRadio app.
Craig Way, alongside the producer Cameron Parker, plenty to discuss
not only the Longhorns game and win over Vanderbilt and
