Speaker 2 (00:22):
Let's give this you're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Greetings and welcome inside our three of The Jason Smith
Show with my bas friend Mike Harmon, live from the
Tirack dot Com Studios Direct dot com. I'll help you

hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers Tirac dot
com the way tire buying should be well. We are
(00:50):
headed in the World Series to the bottom of the
eleventh still five to five Diamondbacks and Rangers Corey Seeger
to run home and to tie the ninth inning, grounded
out to end the tenth with the winning run at second.
Uh Diamondbacks go out one, two, three. It's been a
(01:11):
very easy last couple innings for La Clerk and now
the Wines have a chance to win the game here
in the bottom of the eleventh and just really quick
on this is that, while it is still going on,
as you know, we talked about this in the beginning
of the night, is that the the Diamondbacks looked to
me a lot like the Dodgers, and it's you know,
when the Dodgers fail, why why did they fail in
(01:31):
the playoffs? Because Betts and Freeman, their two best players
by far, were awful, right combined one for twenty four
it was awful. You know, they weren't gonna win. They
were both bad, and they got knocked out of the
playoffs pretty easily. I see that a lot in the
Diamondbacks because it's look and no, look, the Dodgers supporting
cast is better than the Diamondbacks sporting cast. But the
(01:53):
Diamondbacks right now are completely driven by Corbyn Carroll and
Kettle Marte. They completely driven by these two guys who
hit at the top of the order. When they hit,
everything goes well. When they don't hit, forget it. You
have easy innings going on because it's not like you
have a lot of guys out there that are gonna
wind up, you know, putting a bunch of hits together
you have a guy that get the occasional bomb. Tommy
(02:13):
fam has a home run tonight. But when Carolyn Marte
are on base doing their thing, Arizona's kind of unbeatable
this postseason. And what happened earlier in the game, they
both were on base, they both had RBI hits. They
have four of the five RBI everybody else on the team,
it's really difficult if there's just not enough talent there
to continue to string along an inning where we can
(02:35):
put a run or a crooked number on the board,
we can get a single in a double, or a
double and a sacrifice fly, or a double and a
single and sackfly or an RBI ground they can't even
get that. So as long as you are keeping Carol
and Marte off the bases and you are keeping them
under control, the Rangers can win the series. If they can't,
they're not going to win. The Diamondbacks to win and
(02:56):
maybe they win in five, but those two guys are
the key to this series. They can keep them off
the bases in the last few winnings. You wonder why
Arizona has not had to run in six innings now,
is because Carolyn Marte have not gotten on base.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
That and you've seen some just great movement on the pitches.
We just watched, you know, two scoreless innings, as you
pointed out, twenty six pitches, nineteen for strikes from the clerk.
So with Carol and Marte two for ten between them.
To damage done early, pitch away, you got to reach.
We got to get you out of the zone, get
(03:30):
you to start stretching a little bit if you want
to be aggressive at the plate. So some weekly hit
balls mixed there in, so Rangers with an opportunity in
front of the home crowd to take this one as
we go to the bottom of the eleventh. What great
drama day one. I mean, fantastic, love this stuff, matitch
to everything else.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah, oh yeah, Pudge Rodriguez you know yeah, I said, whoa,
that's Pudge. Okay, that's Pudge. Yeah, I mean look, oh,
the ratings for the World Series all the same. It's
Friday at midnight or nine o'clock on the West Coach.
You're not watching the game.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Really, you're in a bar in Manhattan Beach and they're
texting me going.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
How fun is this? As far as I'm on air
and you're drinking?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Yeah, yeah. Again, Like I said, long way to go
for them to get arrested between now and Sunday.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
It is also a long way to the Topica well
if you want a.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Rock and roll but look a big night in the
NBA as well. A couple of games to spotlight here.
The Knicks beat the Hawks tonight and I can be
the head coach the Knicks. Maybe I am the head
coach of the Knicks, because what did I say after
the first game of the season. They lose to the Celtics,
they get within three, they can't at any shots late,
(04:42):
and the Celtics win. Julius Randall cannot shoot the basketball
as much as he has. He's not accurate enough. I
know that he is a one one a guy and
he demands the basketball, but dude, he's not good enough.
And and him going five for twenty two kills the Knicks.
There's other guys that can make shots now. The team
is pretty deep. Whether it's quickly getting more shots now
(05:04):
Devincenzo's gonna need shots off the bench, or just let
Jalen Brunson have the ball more. There's other things, right
or RJ Barrett give him more in the flow, make
him a an every night guy instead of an every
other night guy, which is pretty much what RJ. Barrett is,
and that can't happen. If the Knicks are gonna win,
they can't have Julius Randall twenty two shots a game. Hey,
(05:24):
what happened tonight? Julius Randall cuts his shots in half?
And what happens? The Knicks went on the road against
Atlanta Tua. I'm the real head coach and the next
Mike Harman, not Tom Thibodeau. I'm the real head coach
because from three thousand miles away, I said, hey, let's
cut his shots. And you know what, his shot wasn't
falling early, so you know he turned, Hey, I'm gonna
I'm gonna make plays him to kick the ball out.
(05:46):
And look how well it is. Knicks hit twenty threes, right,
I mean it works. He had nine assists. He can't
shoot twenty two times a night. It's just not happened.
And when his SHOT's not falling, you gotta realize that
early and say, you know what, I'm just gonna pass
out and be a facilitator. Can work. But now look
at me, I'm the head coach. I'm the King of
New York. Look at me, I'm the King and New York.
(06:07):
I can coach a Knicks. I can do the radio
show with you, and I can coach Nicks at the
same time. Look at me.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
It's not bad.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
You know, micro breaks for all the timeouts and TV
timeouts that get added to an NBA game, you might
be onto something now. Certainly for Julius Randall, former third
team All NBA guy, and certainly we pointed out after
the season opening loss, you know the operational efficiency the
(06:33):
losses there, right, a guy who was in his mid
fifties in terms of field goal percentage, and now you're
struggling to get to the mid forties. Fewer shots, more
attention paid to the other parts of the game. Everybody scores, right,
You can find a lot of guys that score twenty
a game, So facilitate.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Be a better facilitator.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
He was with the nine assists, as you pointed out,
they had thirty assists on their forty three makes over
the course of the game. But the one point, you know,
as much as we're gonna pat them on the back
right now, they should all still be standing at the
bleeping free throw line until they can't lift their hands
above their head.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Another eight misses. That's why these games are all gonna
be close.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Yeah, because you guys can't hit a damn free throw
to save your souls.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
You know, listen, free throws are a lost art, Mike Harmi,
you know they need to make they can move the
shot closer, move it closer, so people make more free throws.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
You know what we should do. We should just get
rid of them.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
It's like kickoffs. It's like kickoffs and football. You know,
doesn't matter. You can't do it.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
You know, it's like the the brother lea shove. Hey,
none of us can do this. The nick should leave
the charge.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Anybody else struggle with their free throw shooting and raise
their hands. Anybody anybody else see it costing you games
with the regularity, say hey, let's batten them.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Wow, we got a lot of guys who want to
get rid of free throws. Okay, let's get rid of them.
Uh so again, I could coach the next I'm telling
you this is all they need less Julius. If there's
games where Julius Randall always has less shots than RJ. Barrett,
that's a big w that's a win right there. That's
a win. Right, it's very but that's a win right there.
And look at me, I'm coaching the.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Next really didn't think idea I'd be able to tie
it to the burd brotherly.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Should Meanwhile, the Mavericks beat the Nets to Night one
twenty five and oh, by the way, let's just say
this for a second without looking. I'm pretty sure this
is the best Ben Simmons game. And I don't know
what four years he was ten, ten and eight tonight
so not bad. Oh my goodness, we have to stop
talking about this because the World Series Game one is over.
(08:49):
The Texas Rangers lead the series one game to none.
How did it happen? Let's get the breaking news from
special delivery Steve to Game one is in the books.
The Diamondbacks snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. A
couple of home runs? Was it Corey Seger? Was it
Toby Harra? Was it Jeff Burrows?
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Breaking news from words?
Speaker 1 (09:16):
My friend, it's the Rangers.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
In twenty twenty three, you pretty much only have two guesses.
Seeger already tied it with his two run homer in
the ninth Doulas Garcia with a home run to write
to win the Game, bottom of the eleventh, six ' five,
Texas over Arizona. This is the longest World Series game
in five years. This was the first believe it or
(09:38):
not postseason extra inning game of this year. What was
the long game five years ago? Well, five years ago,
it was the longest World Series game ever. Last night
was the anniversary of the Dodgers beating the Red Sox
in eighteen innings. And I bring that up in part
because tonight's starting pitcher, Nathan Valdi in Texas was it's
(10:00):
the losing pitcher that night for the Boston Red Sox.
He had thrown six scoreless innings in relief until giving
up the game winning omer in the eighteenth to Max Munsey. Tonight,
he enters as a four and zero pitcher in this
postseason and gives up the five Arizona runs, finally pulled
in the fifth, and yet Texas come back to win
(10:20):
Game one, six ' five in eleven, and yes, Garcia
does it again.

into the big win, and we got to talk about
Luca scoring forty one.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Oh yeah, yeah, it was great. He called game called
glass and all that stuff. Yeah, that was great.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
But if I can coach the Knicks from three thousand
miles away, I can also manage the Diamondbacks from about
out of what eight six set miles away? Five hundred
miles away? What did I say the beginning of the night.
If I'm the Diamondbacks, I walk a doolas Garcia every
single time. I don't pitch to him. I don't give
(11:11):
him a chance to win the game. I don't do
it because the guy is just that hot. He's again,
we talked about it a week and a half ago.
He's the Randia Rose Arena where suddenly here's a good
player who suddenly gets unbelievably hot. They have two guys
on the team. Steve talked, there's two guys that can
really hurt you, and make sure not one of them
does it. And instead, Garcia gets a pitch he can handle.
(11:32):
He homers over the wall in right center field opposite
and I don't know what to do at this point.
I really don't know. This should have been we pitch careful.
I know he's leading off the inning, but you don't
want him to if if if you walk a Doolas Garcia,
chances are he can still get out of the inning.
If you give up a hit like this, guess what,
you lose the game, right And that's and that's the
(11:53):
the that's the risk you have to be okay with
when you don't want a guy this hot hurting you.
And I don't get how he's able to get pitches
that he can handle and they're not really careful with him,
and see if he can just start reaching or going
after it. If you walk them, you walk them. I
get it. You walk a guy. You don't want to
walk guy. But I mean we talked about walks. I
understand that. But two hours ago, when he gets the
(12:15):
base hit from to bring in the runs in the
in the in the first inning, it's okay, that's it.
That's the last strike he sees. I put him on
base every single time because I'm not gonna have him
beat us. And what happens you had a Doulas Garcia
beat you, I don't know that I've ever had a
take or a tweet age that well in this short
amount of time, like ever, like ever, Like I have
(12:35):
a tweets age really well. I've that tweets age really poorly.
I've had takes age well and takes age poorly. But
in the short amount of time, it's like I was
able to craft something unbelievable. Like I'm on Guy's grocery
games and I got like twenty minutes to make a
huge seven course meal for four judges. Look good. It
don't pitch to a Doulas Garcia. Why would you do that?
And now here the Diamondbacks learned this lesson, but it
(12:56):
might be too late because sometimes World series twist and
turn and change on a dime, and sometimes it's Game
one and for the Diamondbacks, who were three outs away
from winning this game a two run lead, their closes
are on the mound to go home, down to go
back to the hotel, down to zip because they walk
the lead off batter and give a home run to
Corey Seeger and give a home run to a Dolas Carcia. Yeah,
(13:19):
that's a tough one to come back from. Man, I
can manage the Diamondbacks, and I can coach the Knicks
at the exact same time I could do it. There
you go.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
When the pitch was thrown, it's like, oh, he missed
it right, and then it just kept sailing. I'm like,
all right, that's gonna be a flyout to the wall.
It's like geah, nope, nope, he got enough of it
and rounds first and the.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Place just explodes.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
I mean, that is prime time hitting on the biggest
of stages. And you know, it's the same question we
keep asking in the NFL, Whys Travis Kelcey got this,
you know, seemingly a cloak of invisibility where he can
run free of defenders fifteen yards. This guy don't go
anywhere near the zone. If you walk him too bad,
(14:04):
make a pitch to the next guy. Or he's got
to really be reaching, right because if this is out
of the zone and he tomahawks it, great, Okay, he
got it right. If he somehow is able to muscle out,
this is over the plate and powers through and that's it.
So everybody on the Rangers bench erupts and you know,
(14:27):
you let one get away again. You had the lead, right,
It's everything you do you know, after the fifth with
a lead and they did nothing offensively, so you let
him hang around. Seeger hits the big home run. And
now the guy that everybody got to know his name
the last round folk Hero coming into the World Series,
(14:49):
he walks it off.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
I'll tell you, man, I really don't get it. Sometimes.
I know that we're not in the game in the
moment with things, and you're thinking, Okay, we can be
a little bit less careful with Garcia because hey, you
know what, it's fine, right, you know we we can
pitch to him. Even if he gets a double ex
you pitched to him, you can lose a game.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
There's a difference between me get careful and puckering right
and you know, nibbling around the plate or thinking you're
gonna you're not sneaking anything by this guy right now.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Right so he.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Might have thought, hey, I can get him here with
this placement. You missed by an inch and right now,
this guy's on such a heater, there's there's no room
for error.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Your guy. Oh wait, no, you picked the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
I picked the Diamondbacks. But you said, hey, look, Corey
Singer can still be your guy.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Yeah, you know, Jason Stark because he loves to give
us stats we've never seen before to tell us, hey,
remember this. Uh, here's the list of players who hit
a ninth inning Game one World Series home run, that
tidy game or turned the law to a win. There
are three guys on that list, okay, including Seeger Jez.
(16:06):
One of them Kirk Gibson. The other twenty fifteen Alex
scoring Off. You're as familiar you where you go.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
I had a feeling I'm saying, where is this coming up?
Where I'm going through my head of Mets games and
I'm oh, was the oh yeah, yeah, Game one? What
when he tried to quick pitch him and it didn't work?
It up? You know what? We don't need to talk
about that. Let's talk about Adullas Carcy.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Instead, celebrate the hero that is Garcia.

He is the man who brings you everything you need

stop shopping for everything college football, all the previews, all
the analysis, longtime front of the show Pete Futech, who
may have just summed up everything in sports tonight with
his most recent tweet, that's why you watch the World Series? Pete?
(17:50):
What's happening, buddy?
Speaker 6 (17:52):
I guess the World Series. I did assume people are
watching it, but yeah, I was trying to quit it.
So all the complaining about you have, what's the sixth
and twelfth best teams. Basically, you've got what you've got
to like Wisconsin versus uh Fresno State playing in there.
If you run it, if you want to do it right,
(18:14):
because if you have steplay it out and say, okay,
got basically the you know, the the fifty third best
team in college football playing. But it's fun. You're gonna
if you're gonna make the tournament, the teams are gonna
sometimes win it. If you're gonna make a tournament like this, yes, yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
No, But I don't know, Pete. You helped yourself with
Wisconsin Presdo's State. Look, look, I've said this for a
long time and you're gonna see it with the College
Football Playoff when we go to twelve next year, people
are gonna be upset. Oh look this this one team
that that you know squeaked in at twelve is here
in the semis or in the championship game and a
(18:52):
great team like Michigan or Ohio State goes out when
they had a much better resume. And it's just people
have to understand that this is the new way of sports.
When you let more teams in, you're gonna see more upsets.
We're just not used. We're used to the best teams
were almost the best teams winning all the time. But
that's there happen anymore.
Speaker 6 (19:11):
Here's the difference is that in baseball you have what
is it forty four percent of the team's make the postseason.
In basketball, if you include the playing game, which is
actually a playoff game, you're talking like sixty something percent.
You're duking NFL. If you're lucking hockeys like over fifty percent.
(19:31):
Even with a twelve team expanded playoffs, you're still talking
what nine percent of college football teams make it. It's
really hard. There's one hundred and thirty three teams. This
isn't the NCAA basketball tournament where you just have to
not be awful and you're in. You have getting in
the top eleven, which is what it's gonna be because
(19:52):
of the cookie thrown to the group of five team
that's gonna be in this thing at the twelve spot.
It's hard. It's you've got to go. You cannot lose
two more than two games to get in this thing.
It is going to be much much harder. So you're
not you might get a upset, but you're not going
to have something totally out of cret. You know, it's
(20:13):
not gonna be totally off kilter that can. It's gonna
be like Utah winning, and like, it's not gonna be
that big an upset unless yeah, I'm sorry, I'm going here.
Unless you know the other team signs and those they're
stealing your signs, and you quirk it up and somehow
you pull a TCU and you have the one outlier
upset in the history of the college football playoffs because
(20:34):
they knew the other side was stealing signs from you.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Subterfuge chaos. So, pete where we stand. Last week we
talked about it. Now we get more details manifestos and
everything else. One have you ever started to write a manifesto?
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Two?
Speaker 4 (20:54):
What do you make of this week's events?
Speaker 6 (20:56):
I don't know, Like it's it's oh, it's such a
failure of imagination on everyone else's part. But the one
thing I can't First of all, it's it seems like
it's wrong. But you look at the NCA rulebook and
you could lawyer this thing to death because it is
so loose. But of course they did it, of course,
But like it it feels like it should be really
(21:19):
really wrong. But it's this antiquated rule that you can't
send anybody to a stadium. Okay, that's kind of weird.
We all kind of get that. It's the intricacy of
how they could they recorded all these signs. That's just
insane at the level that they did this.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
So it's it is.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
One of those things I got everyone does and yeah,
kind of not like this, they don't. But the thing
that I can't wrap my head around and this whole
thing is the TCU thing. And apparently everyone else, apparently
everyone knows this. Apparently everyone knew Michigan's doing this, And
so my thing is, why weren't y'all rais in holy
hell when it was happening. And it's kind of cause,
(21:59):
you know, someone in each place was being like, all right, well,
why aren't we doing that? So it's such a weird world,
this college football thing.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
You know, I go back to this peete to take
in a different direction, is that the biggest thing that's
going under the radar is that when this first broke,
I wanted to go how far does this go back? Right?
How far? If this goes back to twenty twenty one,
Suddenly everything Michigan has done the last couple of years.
You go, well, now we know why, because they were
a three and four year loss program. They were not
(22:31):
beating Ohio State, they were not winning the Big Ten.
And suddenly in twenty twenty one, they turn into a
team that is beating Ohio State. They're going to the
College Football Playoff, and sure enough, this goes back to
the beginning of the twenty twenty one season. So now
I look at it and I go, well, everything they've
done has an asterisk next to it, winning the Big Ten,
beating Ohio State. Suddenly you went from hey, we're still
(22:53):
trying to fight through it. Everybody hates Harball because he's
not winning, and now, oh, you make this huge jump
and you're a one loss of year team here undefeated
during the regular season. That's a big thing that people
aren't talking about enough.
Speaker 6 (23:04):
Yeah, but if you're a Michigan fan, you got the
T shirt, you're really you don't really care. You don't
have a state try. I mean, that's the kind of
the thing. And when a wise man once told me,
you know, everyone talks talks, and then the ball gets
kicked off and no one gives a bleep. You know,
it's like Okay, it's stinks, But I kind of the
(23:26):
two people everyone wants to equate this to, like the Astros. Oh,
look they got the Astros are started to doing last night.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Checked.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
They just went to their seventh straight ALCS. It's not
like it took down the Astros. And the other part
of this is, well, this just feels just wrong. Well,
everyone's been cheating in you know, college football for years
and paying players under the table and stuff. Yeah, but
that was just how things were done. I kind of
think that was always worse because you want to talk
about competitive of advantage, Well, if you're paying a good
(23:54):
player to come play for you, that's a massive advantage
at least when you couldn't do that now you ken,
But back when you couldn't do that and it was
technically cheating according to the rule book, I thought that
was always just a little bit worse. This this is
just not American, as the man would say this, it's
just kind of this is really come on. But again,
(24:14):
and I will say that at the end of the day,
I don't think I think how this plays out. At
least this year, they're not going to be able to
get to Michigan in time. If the NCAA can even
if they want to rule, there's an appeals process and
there's like forty five days and just you can't. You
can't do it. Now, if you're the Big Ten, you
can say here's what here would be my wacky kind
(24:35):
of guess and how this plays out would be. The
Big Ten says, you know what, Michigan, You're not eligible
for the Big Ten championship. They still go twelve to
zero or maybe eleven to one with the loss of
a house state, and Ohio State goes thirteen to oh
The College Football Playoff Committee says, it's our job to
take the four best teams and rank the twenty five
best teams, and at the moment, Michigan is not under
(24:58):
any NCAA thing, So we think Michigan's one of the
four best teams. And Michigan still gets into the College
Football Playoffs, and then next year, I'll holy hell breaks
loose from that, Harbor is.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Going to be in the NFL. I mean, he's going
to be gone. See you guys, good luck.
Speaker 6 (25:14):
Well, yeah, but I actually I don't even know that
that might be a I don't know what happens to Harbor.
I mean, people it's again all these things, these things,
they're so weird. I mean, college football is just strange.
I mean, I don't mean to twist this into a
different direction, but Brian Kelly is still doing, you know,
finding for himself. And there are some bad stuff happened
(25:36):
in Notre Dame. I mean, like coach Herbin Meyer is
probably going to be the next Michigan State head coach. Like, okay,
but you know, guy wins the national title.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Again.
Speaker 6 (25:46):
If you're a Michigan fan, what do you care? All right, cool, thanks, guys,
I take that deal.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Yeah, I just go.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Back all of this if it only costs fifteen grand.
It's the most economically rewarding thing outside of a tech ipo.
All right, Pete, a bunch of big matchups this week?
Where are your eyeballs gravitating?
Speaker 6 (26:06):
There's not a lot of them, though. I mean, this
is kind of the week to see where do the
big guys kind of prove themselves that they are just
that good. There is no Michigan this week. Let's see
how Texas reacting with Murphy under center. It shouldn't be
a problem. I think Ohio State just rolls Wisconsin. I
just don't think this Wisconsin offense is doing anything against
(26:29):
this buck guy defense, and really there's just not a
whole huge week of games up top at least, so
let's just kind of see if these teams get through
the dog days, can Oklahoma get buy and keep on moving?
The PAC twelve is continues to be interesting to me.
Oregon Utah, that's an elimination game. The winner that still
(26:51):
need deep in the hunt for everything. The losers out,
but we're gonna see the pack again. The Pack cuelf
each and every week is just so fascinating because all
these teams are good, They're all going to start to
play each other. And I kind of want to see
what USC does. I mean that now that the pressure
is off, no Heisman, no National championship, but there's still
(27:13):
knee deep in the hunt for the PAC twelve title.
Is this when they kind of say this goes two ways,
you know, they kind of say, yeah, you know what,
pressure's off, let's just go play and now we see
the USC team we've been waiting for. Or they they're
just like, forget this now. Caleb wants, you know, KIV,
let's go to the NFL already. Let's forget this and
just moved on. So there's a lot of interesting kind
(27:36):
of subplot storylines without one monster game to get excited about.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Maybe Caleb Williams just says, you know, I've had enough,
I'm done, Good luck, guys, I'm want to get ready
for the raft. Say it.
Speaker 6 (27:48):
We've talked about this. Why wouldn't he? And it's the
one aspect of college sports that no one can wrap
their heads about. You know who quit on the while?
Oh no, he's quit on his teammates. You know who
quit on their teammates. Every Pack twelve team when they
left for a better deal, because because if USC and
(28:10):
UCLA stay and they don't go to the Big ten,
there's still a PAC twelve. So what did so coaches
are going to leave for other jobs, other better deals
once full time comes around. Everyone would leave for a
better job if they're paid a little bit more. And again,
you know the PAC twelve programs they left for better
deals that have different conferences. But oh no, if you
(28:33):
have Caleb Williams, who look if he if let's say
he didn't even have to have some catastrophic injury, if
he has a minor injury which is just enough to
drop him from one to two. That's that's what ten
million dollars you just lost right there. I mean this,
this is business time, and this I don't know why
he would still play other than to just optics and
(28:54):
peer pressure from the world who just cannot grasp the
idea that maybe the guy is going to make a
half a billion dollar over the next fifteen years. Probably
shouldn't be playing for penuts at this point.

Speaker 6 (29:27):
I will do my best on all of it later, guys,
brother Pete.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Great stuff from Pete feu Tech. And oh, by the way,
just really quick. One game we didn't get to that
is going to have a lot of attention. It's a
late game tomorrow. Colorado could fall to four and four.
They're playing at Ucladdogs and it's sold out.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
It is an official sellout for that game.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
I mean, Colorado could be the best four and eight
team in the history of college football.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
How insane is this?
Speaker 3 (29:56):
Right, UCLA's defense, young quarterback, all of this stuff, great
storyline muted by the fact, Hey.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
We got to sell out because that guy's coming to town.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Well, you want to talk about a sellout, let's talk
to see if the stager, because he sells out the
Update studio every night with people waiting to watch him,
tell us what's trending in the wide world of sports. Well,
empty seats in the Update studio.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
Didn't like how that was going initially.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
See, but I went the other way.
Speaker 5 (30:25):
Yeah, well, fortunately for all of us.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
By the way, he's the one who thought I was
going to say you are a sellout. I'm the one
that was giving you all kinds of plaudits. But Harmy's
was going on.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
I know that was just full wwe.
Speaker 5 (30:39):
Oh no, that's exactly what you It was a heel turn.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
It's what that is exactly right At the.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
Rosewold tomorrow night, as UCLA host Colorado. By the way,
the Bruins will be wearing their old uniforms from the
nineteen fifties and sixties. It is homecoming weekend as well,
and today unveiling a Terry Donna Hughes stature, the late
great coach of THEIRS, who's a College Football Hall of Famer.
And yes, Colorado's in town and also a sellout at
the Rose Bowl these days because of the tarps. Is
(31:06):
seventy thousand seats, not ninety thousand.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Plus not take some of those off though.
Speaker 5 (31:10):
Apparently they are taking some of this off to make
it seventy thousand. Oh okay, that is the massive crowd.
You know, Chip Kelly's been paid more than any other
coach in UCLA football history, and let's just say large
crowds have not been a common thing in the Chip
Kelly era wins last year or this year notwithstanding, well,
(31:31):
we had a solo homer from Adulas Garcia to win
World Series Game one at Texas tonight in the eleventh inning,
six to five over Arizona. Garcia's homered in five straight
postseason games. A little context, guys, Adulas Garcia grew up
in Cuba. He had literally never seen a Major League
Baseball game on TV because of that regime until he
(31:54):
defected from Cuba in twenty sixteen and now he's the
star of the World Series tonight, only the second player
in the long history of the World Series to in
his debut in the Fall Classic hit a walk off homer.
The other occurred for the New York Giants nineteen fifty
four World Series, Dusty Rhodes. That was the game with
the great catch in center field from Willie Mays. It's
(32:18):
because they were in the Polo Grounds that night that
both of those things happened, or that day, I should say,
because it was an odd configuration to put a baseball
park and a polo field is actually what it was.
So Willie Mays could run and run to deep center.
It was over four to eighty to center. But the
game winning homer that night day was two hundred and
(32:40):
fifty eight feet to right field. Two fifty eight and
if you've seen the clip, the shortstop is almost on
the warning track trying to catch the pop up it.
This was a little more massive than that a regular uh,
let's say, a real home run direct. I hesitate to
even say that. The other was a World Series game winner,
(33:02):
but this was three seventy three, not two seventy three.
What a postseason this guy has had so when's the
last time we had a World Series game when a
team was down multiple runs in the ninth inning or
later and still won. Royals at Mets twenty fifteen, the
clincher in Game five, two runs in the ninth off
(33:23):
your as familiar, and then a twelfth inning victory in
New York. This was an eleventh inning win for Texas
at home, six to five. And we're just starting this series.
Adulas Garcia has set the record most RBIs in a
single postseason. Corey Seger had hit a two run home
or bottom of the ninth to tie tonight. I mentioned
earlier on the show he was the hero of twenty
(33:45):
twenty for the Dodgers postseason. Seger in eighteen playoff games
had twenty RBIs that postseason. David Freese had twenty one
and just about single handedly beat Texas ironically in the
twenty eleven series. And now it's twenty two RBIs for
Adolas Garcia and counting, and he's only played thirteen games,
not eighteen so far. Game two of this series Saturday
(34:07):
night on Fox TV, right after college football. Then the
series will continue Monday in Arizona. Eleven games in the NBA,
They're all final, including late night road wins for Golden
State and Orlando. Utah beat the Clippers one twenty to
one eighteen Kawhi Leonard and Russell Westbrook missed the last
two shots. NHL Chicago in overtime beat Vegas four to three.
(34:29):
The Golden Knights had been seven and oh. A reminder
as far as Saturday college football on Fox TV, it
starts at noon Eastern Time with seven and oh Oklahoma
at Kansas. Then it's number eight ranked Oregon at number
thirteen Utah on Fox, then the World Series game Saturday Night.

The hero of the night in the Dallas area was
Luka Doncic scored forty nine points. Mavericks win and then
the Dolus Garcias said, oh no, no, no, wait wait
wait wait sorry, hey, great game, Luca, that's awesome. Thirty
three in game one, forty nine in game two. Yes,
you're jumping off to your MVP race really really good.
But I got something, a little something for you that's
(36:50):
gonna be a little bit better than your forty nine points.
Take a listen, Dony Scarcia suns one the other way.
Speaker 4 (36:56):
That sends Carrol mack p.
Speaker 6 (37:00):
Gsh Dules Garcia clease Game one, big Fox on the call.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Garcia is home run in the bottom of the eleventh
wins Game one of the World Series. They take it
over the Diamondbacks, and it was a shocker, a walk off.
And you know, you think that Diamondbacks fans have it
the worst right now, Mike Carmon, and they do have
it pretty bad. How World Series they're okay, yeah, but
I think Cardinals fans have it worse right now. Odaman
Arizona Cardinals, No Saint Louis Cardinals fans have it worse
(37:31):
because making the rounds is the tweet from twenty nineteen
where the Cardinals make an announcement saying we have traded
a Dolus Garcia to the Rangers for catch consideration. Yeah,
well unless that was a billion dollars you lost. Uh.
And of course the Cards, how dare you do? I
can't believe this, and they're really getting hammered right now.
(37:52):
But let look, let let me be honest with you here.
Stop for a second. I love a big hot take
as much as everybody else, but Garcia at that point,
they they traded him away for cash considerations. He was
twenty six, right, he's twenty six. When do you think
the guy had zero MLB experience to talk? You know,
he played in a handful of games. He had seventeen
(38:13):
at bats with the Cardinals in twenty eighteen. When you're
twenty six, twenty seven, it's okay, Really, how good is
he really gonna be? We can trade away for cash considerations.
Nobody knew he was going to turn into this. I mean,
you're talking about a guy the last three years thirty
home runs between ninety one hundred RBIs and now he's
the best postseason player this side of Derek Jeter. You know,
(38:35):
I get that it's fun to say to make fun
of the Cardinals, but like, nobody knew this was coming.
Nobody did.
Speaker 5 (38:40):
No.
Speaker 4 (38:40):
I mean he also was a guy that the Rangers
almost let go.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
So I mean it's not it's not like it's a
you know, a tale of Well, we just put in
the wrong name on a piece of paper.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
It was supposed to be the other guy.
Speaker 4 (38:54):
We swear the guy transposed to the numbers.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Can we do that again?
Speaker 4 (39:01):
We got to read.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
No, No, that's not the trade. Now the trade, I'm
going back to back. See somebody else is coming. Can
trade somebody else, somebody else. We're gonna trade Jorge Garcia
from Loss. That's what we want to trade. Yeah, that's
the guy we want to trade. Yes, we want to
trade Eddie Garcia. I want to get Eddie Garcia to No,
we don't want to trade Eddie Garcia. Although I don't know,
would you trade Eddie Garcia for Jorge Garcia? No, I don't.
(39:23):
Didn't watch Loss, so I don't care. Okay, all right,
I just want to make sure.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
No disrespect to miss that that mister Garcia. But I
know Ednie.
Speaker 7 (39:30):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
I'm leaving goodbye. Adolas Garcia is your hero. You heard
the plaudits and the status from Steve de Sager. A
few moments ago, and I'm telling you, I know it's
Game one and we're sitting here and and Garcia says, all,
it's gonna be a great long series. I don't know, man,
I picked the Diamondbacks to win. This is a huge
(39:54):
reversal of fortune from three outs away with a two
run lead to now we're down one zip. Gotta come
back in twenty four hours and try to get it
going again. I don't know that the series hasn't ended tonight.
I don't know the Ringers haven't won tonight with this.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
And you lose and used a lot of your bullpen
and your offense went to sleep, right, you had the lead,
always the hey add on, keep them at a distance,
insurance runs, you could say, ah whatever, you had a lead,
get over like no, no, no, your offense shut down?
Speaker 1 (40:27):

hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers Tirac dot
com the way tire buying should be well. We are
(00:50):
headed in the World Series to the bottom of the
eleventh still five to five Diamondbacks and Rangers Corey Seeger
to run home and to tie the ninth inning, grounded
out to end the tenth with the winning run at second.
Uh Diamondbacks go out one, two, three. It's been a
(01:11):
very easy last couple innings for La Clerk and now
the Wines have a chance to win the game here
in the bottom of the eleventh and just really quick
on this is that, while it is still going on,
as you know, we talked about this in the beginning
of the night, is that the the Diamondbacks looked to
me a lot like the Dodgers, and it's you know,
when the Dodgers fail, why why did they fail in
(01:31):
the playoffs? Because Betts and Freeman, their two best players
by far, were awful, right combined one for twenty four
it was awful. You know, they weren't gonna win. They
were both bad, and they got knocked out of the
playoffs pretty easily. I see that a lot in the
Diamondbacks because it's look and no, look, the Dodgers supporting
cast is better than the Diamondbacks sporting cast. But the
(01:53):
Diamondbacks right now are completely driven by Corbyn Carroll and
Kettle Marte. They completely driven by these two guys who
hit at the top of the order. When they hit,
everything goes well. When they don't hit, forget it. You
have easy innings going on because it's not like you
have a lot of guys out there that are gonna
wind up, you know, putting a bunch of hits together
you have a guy that get the occasional bomb. Tommy
(02:13):
fam has a home run tonight. But when Carolyn Marte
are on base doing their thing, Arizona's kind of unbeatable
this postseason. And what happened earlier in the game, they
both were on base, they both had RBI hits. They
have four of the five RBI everybody else on the team,
it's really difficult if there's just not enough talent there
to continue to string along an inning where we can
(02:35):
put a run or a crooked number on the board,
we can get a single in a double, or a
double and a sacrifice fly, or a double and a
single and sackfly or an RBI ground they can't even
get that. So as long as you are keeping Carol
and Marte off the bases and you are keeping them
under control, the Rangers can win the series. If they can't,
they're not going to win. The Diamondbacks to win and
(02:56):
maybe they win in five, but those two guys are
the key to this series. They can keep them off
the bases in the last few winnings. You wonder why
Arizona has not had to run in six innings now,
is because Carolyn Marte have not gotten on base.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
That and you've seen some just great movement on the pitches.
We just watched, you know, two scoreless innings, as you
pointed out, twenty six pitches, nineteen for strikes from the clerk.
So with Carol and Marte two for ten between them.
To damage done early, pitch away, you got to reach.
We got to get you out of the zone, get
(03:30):
you to start stretching a little bit if you want
to be aggressive at the plate. So some weekly hit
balls mixed there in, so Rangers with an opportunity in
front of the home crowd to take this one as
we go to the bottom of the eleventh. What great
drama day one. I mean, fantastic, love this stuff, matitch
to everything else.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah, oh yeah, Pudge Rodriguez you know yeah, I said, whoa,
that's Pudge. Okay, that's Pudge. Yeah, I mean look, oh,
the ratings for the World Series all the same. It's
Friday at midnight or nine o'clock on the West Coach.
You're not watching the game.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Really, you're in a bar in Manhattan Beach and they're
texting me going.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
How fun is this? As far as I'm on air
and you're drinking?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Yeah, yeah. Again, Like I said, long way to go
for them to get arrested between now and Sunday.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
It is also a long way to the Topica well
if you want a.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Rock and roll but look a big night in the
NBA as well. A couple of games to spotlight here.
The Knicks beat the Hawks tonight and I can be
the head coach the Knicks. Maybe I am the head
coach of the Knicks, because what did I say after
the first game of the season. They lose to the Celtics,
they get within three, they can't at any shots late,
(04:42):
and the Celtics win. Julius Randall cannot shoot the basketball
as much as he has. He's not accurate enough. I
know that he is a one one a guy and
he demands the basketball, but dude, he's not good enough.
And and him going five for twenty two kills the Knicks.
There's other guys that can make shots now. The team
is pretty deep. Whether it's quickly getting more shots now
(05:04):
Devincenzo's gonna need shots off the bench, or just let
Jalen Brunson have the ball more. There's other things, right
or RJ Barrett give him more in the flow, make
him a an every night guy instead of an every
other night guy, which is pretty much what RJ. Barrett is,
and that can't happen. If the Knicks are gonna win,
they can't have Julius Randall twenty two shots a game. Hey,
(05:24):
what happened tonight? Julius Randall cuts his shots in half?
And what happens? The Knicks went on the road against
Atlanta Tua. I'm the real head coach and the next
Mike Harman, not Tom Thibodeau. I'm the real head coach
because from three thousand miles away, I said, hey, let's
cut his shots. And you know what, his shot wasn't
falling early, so you know he turned, Hey, I'm gonna
I'm gonna make plays him to kick the ball out.
(05:46):
And look how well it is. Knicks hit twenty threes, right,
I mean it works. He had nine assists. He can't
shoot twenty two times a night. It's just not happened.
And when his SHOT's not falling, you gotta realize that
early and say, you know what, I'm just gonna pass
out and be a facilitator. Can work. But now look
at me, I'm the head coach. I'm the King of
New York. Look at me, I'm the King and New York.
(06:07):
I can coach a Knicks. I can do the radio
show with you, and I can coach Nicks at the
same time. Look at me.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
It's not bad.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
You know, micro breaks for all the timeouts and TV
timeouts that get added to an NBA game, you might
be onto something now. Certainly for Julius Randall, former third
team All NBA guy, and certainly we pointed out after
the season opening loss, you know the operational efficiency the
(06:33):
losses there, right, a guy who was in his mid
fifties in terms of field goal percentage, and now you're
struggling to get to the mid forties. Fewer shots, more
attention paid to the other parts of the game. Everybody scores, right,
You can find a lot of guys that score twenty
a game, So facilitate.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Be a better facilitator.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
He was with the nine assists, as you pointed out,
they had thirty assists on their forty three makes over
the course of the game. But the one point, you know,
as much as we're gonna pat them on the back
right now, they should all still be standing at the
bleeping free throw line until they can't lift their hands
above their head.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Another eight misses. That's why these games are all gonna
be close.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Yeah, because you guys can't hit a damn free throw
to save your souls.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
You know, listen, free throws are a lost art, Mike Harmi,
you know they need to make they can move the
shot closer, move it closer, so people make more free throws.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
You know what we should do. We should just get
rid of them.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
It's like kickoffs. It's like kickoffs and football. You know,
doesn't matter. You can't do it.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
You know, it's like the the brother lea shove. Hey,
none of us can do this. The nick should leave
the charge.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Anybody else struggle with their free throw shooting and raise
their hands. Anybody anybody else see it costing you games
with the regularity, say hey, let's batten them.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Wow, we got a lot of guys who want to
get rid of free throws. Okay, let's get rid of them.
Uh so again, I could coach the next I'm telling
you this is all they need less Julius. If there's
games where Julius Randall always has less shots than RJ. Barrett,
that's a big w that's a win right there. That's
a win. Right, it's very but that's a win right there.
And look at me, I'm coaching the.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Next really didn't think idea I'd be able to tie
it to the burd brotherly.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Should Meanwhile, the Mavericks beat the Nets to Night one
twenty five and oh, by the way, let's just say
this for a second without looking. I'm pretty sure this
is the best Ben Simmons game. And I don't know
what four years he was ten, ten and eight tonight
so not bad. Oh my goodness, we have to stop
talking about this because the World Series Game one is over.
(08:49):
The Texas Rangers lead the series one game to none.
How did it happen? Let's get the breaking news from
special delivery Steve to Game one is in the books.
The Diamondbacks snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. A
couple of home runs? Was it Corey Seger? Was it
Toby Harra? Was it Jeff Burrows?
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Breaking news from words?
Speaker 1 (09:16):
My friend, it's the Rangers.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
In twenty twenty three, you pretty much only have two guesses.
Seeger already tied it with his two run homer in
the ninth Doulas Garcia with a home run to write
to win the Game, bottom of the eleventh, six ' five,
Texas over Arizona. This is the longest World Series game
in five years. This was the first believe it or
(09:38):
not postseason extra inning game of this year. What was
the long game five years ago? Well, five years ago,
it was the longest World Series game ever. Last night
was the anniversary of the Dodgers beating the Red Sox
in eighteen innings. And I bring that up in part
because tonight's starting pitcher, Nathan Valdi in Texas was it's
(10:00):
the losing pitcher that night for the Boston Red Sox.
He had thrown six scoreless innings in relief until giving
up the game winning omer in the eighteenth to Max Munsey. Tonight,
he enters as a four and zero pitcher in this
postseason and gives up the five Arizona runs, finally pulled
in the fifth, and yet Texas come back to win
(10:20):
Game one, six ' five in eleven, and yes, Garcia
does it again.

into the big win, and we got to talk about
Luca scoring forty one.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Oh yeah, yeah, it was great. He called game called
glass and all that stuff. Yeah, that was great.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
But if I can coach the Knicks from three thousand
miles away, I can also manage the Diamondbacks from about
out of what eight six set miles away? Five hundred
miles away? What did I say the beginning of the night.
If I'm the Diamondbacks, I walk a doolas Garcia every
single time. I don't pitch to him. I don't give
(11:11):
him a chance to win the game. I don't do
it because the guy is just that hot. He's again,
we talked about it a week and a half ago.
He's the Randia Rose Arena where suddenly here's a good
player who suddenly gets unbelievably hot. They have two guys
on the team. Steve talked, there's two guys that can
really hurt you, and make sure not one of them
does it. And instead, Garcia gets a pitch he can handle.
(11:32):
He homers over the wall in right center field opposite
and I don't know what to do at this point.
I really don't know. This should have been we pitch careful.
I know he's leading off the inning, but you don't
want him to if if if you walk a Doolas Garcia,
chances are he can still get out of the inning.
If you give up a hit like this, guess what,
you lose the game, right And that's and that's the
(11:53):
the that's the risk you have to be okay with
when you don't want a guy this hot hurting you.
And I don't get how he's able to get pitches
that he can handle and they're not really careful with him,
and see if he can just start reaching or going
after it. If you walk them, you walk them. I
get it. You walk a guy. You don't want to
walk guy. But I mean we talked about walks. I
understand that. But two hours ago, when he gets the
(12:15):
base hit from to bring in the runs in the
in the in the first inning, it's okay, that's it.
That's the last strike he sees. I put him on
base every single time because I'm not gonna have him
beat us. And what happens you had a Doulas Garcia
beat you, I don't know that I've ever had a
take or a tweet age that well in this short
amount of time, like ever, like ever, Like I have
(12:35):
a tweets age really well. I've that tweets age really poorly.
I've had takes age well and takes age poorly. But
in the short amount of time, it's like I was
able to craft something unbelievable. Like I'm on Guy's grocery
games and I got like twenty minutes to make a
huge seven course meal for four judges. Look good. It
don't pitch to a Doulas Garcia. Why would you do that?
And now here the Diamondbacks learned this lesson, but it
(12:56):
might be too late because sometimes World series twist and
turn and change on a dime, and sometimes it's Game
one and for the Diamondbacks, who were three outs away
from winning this game a two run lead, their closes
are on the mound to go home, down to go
back to the hotel, down to zip because they walk
the lead off batter and give a home run to
Corey Seeger and give a home run to a Dolas Carcia. Yeah,
(13:19):
that's a tough one to come back from. Man, I
can manage the Diamondbacks, and I can coach the Knicks
at the exact same time I could do it. There
you go.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
When the pitch was thrown, it's like, oh, he missed
it right, and then it just kept sailing. I'm like,
all right, that's gonna be a flyout to the wall.
It's like geah, nope, nope, he got enough of it
and rounds first and the.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Place just explodes.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
I mean, that is prime time hitting on the biggest
of stages. And you know, it's the same question we
keep asking in the NFL, Whys Travis Kelcey got this,
you know, seemingly a cloak of invisibility where he can
run free of defenders fifteen yards. This guy don't go
anywhere near the zone. If you walk him too bad,
(14:04):
make a pitch to the next guy. Or he's got
to really be reaching, right because if this is out
of the zone and he tomahawks it, great, Okay, he
got it right. If he somehow is able to muscle out,
this is over the plate and powers through and that's it.
So everybody on the Rangers bench erupts and you know,
(14:27):
you let one get away again. You had the lead, right,
It's everything you do you know, after the fifth with
a lead and they did nothing offensively, so you let
him hang around. Seeger hits the big home run. And
now the guy that everybody got to know his name
the last round folk Hero coming into the World Series,
(14:49):
he walks it off.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
I'll tell you, man, I really don't get it. Sometimes.
I know that we're not in the game in the
moment with things, and you're thinking, Okay, we can be
a little bit less careful with Garcia because hey, you
know what, it's fine, right, you know we we can
pitch to him. Even if he gets a double ex
you pitched to him, you can lose a game.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
There's a difference between me get careful and puckering right
and you know, nibbling around the plate or thinking you're
gonna you're not sneaking anything by this guy right now.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Right so he.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Might have thought, hey, I can get him here with
this placement. You missed by an inch and right now,
this guy's on such a heater, there's there's no room
for error.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Your guy. Oh wait, no, you picked the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
I picked the Diamondbacks. But you said, hey, look, Corey
Singer can still be your guy.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Yeah, you know, Jason Stark because he loves to give
us stats we've never seen before to tell us, hey,
remember this. Uh, here's the list of players who hit
a ninth inning Game one World Series home run, that
tidy game or turned the law to a win. There
are three guys on that list, okay, including Seeger Jez.
(16:06):
One of them Kirk Gibson. The other twenty fifteen Alex
scoring Off. You're as familiar you where you go.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
I had a feeling I'm saying, where is this coming up?
Where I'm going through my head of Mets games and
I'm oh, was the oh yeah, yeah, Game one? What
when he tried to quick pitch him and it didn't work?
It up? You know what? We don't need to talk
about that. Let's talk about Adullas Carcy.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Instead, celebrate the hero that is Garcia.

(17:28):
He is the man who brings you everything you need
in college football. College Footballnews dot Com is your one
stop shopping for everything college football, all the previews, all
the analysis, longtime front of the show Pete Futech, who
may have just summed up everything in sports tonight with
his most recent tweet, that's why you watch the World Series? Pete?
(17:50):
What's happening, buddy?
Speaker 6 (17:52):
I guess the World Series. I did assume people are
watching it, but yeah, I was trying to quit it.
So all the complaining about you have, what's the sixth
and twelfth best teams. Basically, you've got what you've got
to like Wisconsin versus uh Fresno State playing in there.
If you run it, if you want to do it right,
(18:14):
because if you have steplay it out and say, okay,
got basically the you know, the the fifty third best
team in college football playing. But it's fun. You're gonna
if you're gonna make the tournament, the teams are gonna
sometimes win it. If you're gonna make a tournament like this, yes, yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
No, But I don't know, Pete. You helped yourself with
Wisconsin Presdo's State. Look, look, I've said this for a
long time and you're gonna see it with the College
Football Playoff when we go to twelve next year, people
are gonna be upset. Oh look this this one team
that that you know squeaked in at twelve is here
in the semis or in the championship game and a
(18:52):
great team like Michigan or Ohio State goes out when
they had a much better resume. And it's just people
have to understand that this is the new way of sports.
When you let more teams in, you're gonna see more upsets.
We're just not used. We're used to the best teams
were almost the best teams winning all the time. But
that's there happen anymore.
Speaker 6 (19:11):
Here's the difference is that in baseball you have what
is it forty four percent of the team's make the postseason.
In basketball, if you include the playing game, which is
actually a playoff game, you're talking like sixty something percent.
You're duking NFL. If you're lucking hockeys like over fifty percent.
(19:31):
Even with a twelve team expanded playoffs, you're still talking
what nine percent of college football teams make it. It's
really hard. There's one hundred and thirty three teams. This
isn't the NCAA basketball tournament where you just have to
not be awful and you're in. You have getting in
the top eleven, which is what it's gonna be because
(19:52):
of the cookie thrown to the group of five team
that's gonna be in this thing at the twelve spot.
It's hard. It's you've got to go. You cannot lose
two more than two games to get in this thing.
It is going to be much much harder. So you're
not you might get a upset, but you're not going
to have something totally out of cret. You know, it's
(20:13):
not gonna be totally off kilter that can. It's gonna
be like Utah winning, and like, it's not gonna be
that big an upset unless yeah, I'm sorry, I'm going here.
Unless you know the other team signs and those they're
stealing your signs, and you quirk it up and somehow
you pull a TCU and you have the one outlier
upset in the history of the college football playoffs because
(20:34):
they knew the other side was stealing signs from you.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Subterfuge chaos. So, pete where we stand. Last week we
talked about it. Now we get more details manifestos and
everything else. One have you ever started to write a manifesto?
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Two?
Speaker 4 (20:54):
What do you make of this week's events?
Speaker 6 (20:56):
I don't know, Like it's it's oh, it's such a
failure of imagination on everyone else's part. But the one
thing I can't First of all, it's it seems like
it's wrong. But you look at the NCA rulebook and
you could lawyer this thing to death because it is
so loose. But of course they did it, of course,
But like it it feels like it should be really
(21:19):
really wrong. But it's this antiquated rule that you can't
send anybody to a stadium. Okay, that's kind of weird.
We all kind of get that. It's the intricacy of
how they could they recorded all these signs. That's just
insane at the level that they did this.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
So it's it is.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
One of those things I got everyone does and yeah,
kind of not like this, they don't. But the thing
that I can't wrap my head around and this whole
thing is the TCU thing. And apparently everyone else, apparently
everyone knows this. Apparently everyone knew Michigan's doing this, And
so my thing is, why weren't y'all rais in holy
hell when it was happening. And it's kind of cause,
(21:59):
you know, someone in each place was being like, all right, well,
why aren't we doing that? So it's such a weird world,
this college football thing.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
You know, I go back to this peete to take
in a different direction, is that the biggest thing that's
going under the radar is that when this first broke,
I wanted to go how far does this go back? Right?
How far? If this goes back to twenty twenty one,
Suddenly everything Michigan has done the last couple of years.
You go, well, now we know why, because they were
a three and four year loss program. They were not
(22:31):
beating Ohio State, they were not winning the Big Ten.
And suddenly in twenty twenty one, they turn into a
team that is beating Ohio State. They're going to the
College Football Playoff, and sure enough, this goes back to
the beginning of the twenty twenty one season. So now
I look at it and I go, well, everything they've
done has an asterisk next to it, winning the Big Ten,
beating Ohio State. Suddenly you went from hey, we're still
(22:53):
trying to fight through it. Everybody hates Harball because he's
not winning, and now, oh, you make this huge jump
and you're a one loss of year team here undefeated
during the regular season. That's a big thing that people
aren't talking about enough.
Speaker 6 (23:04):
Yeah, but if you're a Michigan fan, you got the
T shirt, you're really you don't really care. You don't
have a state try. I mean, that's the kind of
the thing. And when a wise man once told me,
you know, everyone talks talks, and then the ball gets
kicked off and no one gives a bleep. You know,
it's like Okay, it's stinks, But I kind of the
(23:26):
two people everyone wants to equate this to, like the Astros. Oh,
look they got the Astros are started to doing last night.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Checked.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
They just went to their seventh straight ALCS. It's not
like it took down the Astros. And the other part
of this is, well, this just feels just wrong. Well,
everyone's been cheating in you know, college football for years
and paying players under the table and stuff. Yeah, but
that was just how things were done. I kind of
think that was always worse because you want to talk
about competitive of advantage, Well, if you're paying a good
(23:54):
player to come play for you, that's a massive advantage
at least when you couldn't do that now you ken,
But back when you couldn't do that and it was
technically cheating according to the rule book, I thought that
was always just a little bit worse. This this is
just not American, as the man would say this, it's
just kind of this is really come on. But again,
(24:14):
and I will say that at the end of the day,
I don't think I think how this plays out. At
least this year, they're not going to be able to
get to Michigan in time. If the NCAA can even
if they want to rule, there's an appeals process and
there's like forty five days and just you can't. You
can't do it. Now, if you're the Big Ten, you
can say here's what here would be my wacky kind
(24:35):
of guess and how this plays out would be. The
Big Ten says, you know what, Michigan, You're not eligible
for the Big Ten championship. They still go twelve to
zero or maybe eleven to one with the loss of
a house state, and Ohio State goes thirteen to oh
The College Football Playoff Committee says, it's our job to
take the four best teams and rank the twenty five
best teams, and at the moment, Michigan is not under
(24:58):
any NCAA thing, So we think Michigan's one of the
four best teams. And Michigan still gets into the College
Football Playoffs, and then next year, I'll holy hell breaks
loose from that, Harbor is.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Going to be in the NFL. I mean, he's going
to be gone. See you guys, good luck.
Speaker 6 (25:14):
Well, yeah, but I actually I don't even know that
that might be a I don't know what happens to Harbor.
I mean, people it's again all these things, these things,
they're so weird. I mean, college football is just strange.
I mean, I don't mean to twist this into a
different direction, but Brian Kelly is still doing, you know,
finding for himself. And there are some bad stuff happened
(25:36):
in Notre Dame. I mean, like coach Herbin Meyer is
probably going to be the next Michigan State head coach. Like, okay,
but you know, guy wins the national title.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Again.
Speaker 6 (25:46):
If you're a Michigan fan, what do you care? All right, cool, thanks, guys,
I take that deal.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Yeah, I just go.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Back all of this if it only costs fifteen grand.
It's the most economically rewarding thing outside of a tech ipo.
All right, Pete, a bunch of big matchups this week?
Where are your eyeballs gravitating?
Speaker 6 (26:06):
There's not a lot of them, though. I mean, this
is kind of the week to see where do the
big guys kind of prove themselves that they are just
that good. There is no Michigan this week. Let's see
how Texas reacting with Murphy under center. It shouldn't be
a problem. I think Ohio State just rolls Wisconsin. I
just don't think this Wisconsin offense is doing anything against
(26:29):
this buck guy defense, and really there's just not a
whole huge week of games up top at least, so
let's just kind of see if these teams get through
the dog days, can Oklahoma get buy and keep on moving?
The PAC twelve is continues to be interesting to me.
Oregon Utah, that's an elimination game. The winner that still
(26:51):
need deep in the hunt for everything. The losers out,
but we're gonna see the pack again. The Pack cuelf
each and every week is just so fascinating because all
these teams are good, They're all going to start to
play each other. And I kind of want to see
what USC does. I mean that now that the pressure
is off, no Heisman, no National championship, but there's still
(27:13):
knee deep in the hunt for the PAC twelve title.
Is this when they kind of say this goes two ways,
you know, they kind of say, yeah, you know what,
pressure's off, let's just go play and now we see
the USC team we've been waiting for. Or they they're
just like, forget this now. Caleb wants, you know, KIV,
let's go to the NFL already. Let's forget this and
just moved on. So there's a lot of interesting kind
(27:36):
of subplot storylines without one monster game to get excited about.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Maybe Caleb Williams just says, you know, I've had enough,
I'm done, Good luck, guys, I'm want to get ready
for the raft. Say it.
Speaker 6 (27:48):
We've talked about this. Why wouldn't he? And it's the
one aspect of college sports that no one can wrap
their heads about. You know who quit on the while?
Oh no, he's quit on his teammates. You know who
quit on their teammates. Every Pack twelve team when they
left for a better deal, because because if USC and
(28:10):
UCLA stay and they don't go to the Big ten,
there's still a PAC twelve. So what did so coaches
are going to leave for other jobs, other better deals
once full time comes around. Everyone would leave for a
better job if they're paid a little bit more. And again,
you know the PAC twelve programs they left for better
deals that have different conferences. But oh no, if you
(28:33):
have Caleb Williams, who look if he if let's say
he didn't even have to have some catastrophic injury, if
he has a minor injury which is just enough to
drop him from one to two. That's that's what ten
million dollars you just lost right there. I mean this,
this is business time, and this I don't know why
he would still play other than to just optics and
(28:54):
peer pressure from the world who just cannot grasp the
idea that maybe the guy is going to make a
half a billion dollar over the next fifteen years. Probably
shouldn't be playing for penuts at this point.

Appreciate your time, my friends, enjoy the game, enjoy the
big nude kickoff. We'll talk to you next week.
Speaker 6 (29:27):
I will do my best on all of it later, guys,
brother Pete.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Great stuff from Pete feu Tech. And oh, by the way,
just really quick. One game we didn't get to that
is going to have a lot of attention. It's a
late game tomorrow. Colorado could fall to four and four.
They're playing at Ucladdogs and it's sold out.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
It is an official sellout for that game.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
I mean, Colorado could be the best four and eight
team in the history of college football.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
How insane is this?
Speaker 3 (29:56):
Right, UCLA's defense, young quarterback, all of this stuff, great
storyline muted by the fact, Hey.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
We got to sell out because that guy's coming to town.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Well, you want to talk about a sellout, let's talk
to see if the stager, because he sells out the
Update studio every night with people waiting to watch him,
tell us what's trending in the wide world of sports. Well,
empty seats in the Update studio.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
Didn't like how that was going initially.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
See, but I went the other way.
Speaker 5 (30:25):
Yeah, well, fortunately for all of us.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
By the way, he's the one who thought I was
going to say you are a sellout. I'm the one
that was giving you all kinds of plaudits. But Harmy's
was going on.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
I know that was just full wwe.
Speaker 5 (30:39):
Oh no, that's exactly what you It was a heel turn.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
It's what that is exactly right At the.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
Rosewold tomorrow night, as UCLA host Colorado. By the way,
the Bruins will be wearing their old uniforms from the
nineteen fifties and sixties. It is homecoming weekend as well,
and today unveiling a Terry Donna Hughes stature, the late
great coach of THEIRS, who's a College Football Hall of Famer.
And yes, Colorado's in town and also a sellout at
the Rose Bowl these days because of the tarps. Is
(31:06):
seventy thousand seats, not ninety thousand.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Plus not take some of those off though.
Speaker 5 (31:10):
Apparently they are taking some of this off to make
it seventy thousand. Oh okay, that is the massive crowd.
You know, Chip Kelly's been paid more than any other
coach in UCLA football history, and let's just say large
crowds have not been a common thing in the Chip
Kelly era wins last year or this year notwithstanding, well,
(31:31):
we had a solo homer from Adulas Garcia to win
World Series Game one at Texas tonight in the eleventh inning,
six to five over Arizona. Garcia's homered in five straight
postseason games. A little context, guys, Adulas Garcia grew up
in Cuba. He had literally never seen a Major League
Baseball game on TV because of that regime until he
(31:54):
defected from Cuba in twenty sixteen and now he's the
star of the World Series tonight, only the second player
in the long history of the World Series to in
his debut in the Fall Classic hit a walk off homer.
The other occurred for the New York Giants nineteen fifty
four World Series, Dusty Rhodes. That was the game with
the great catch in center field from Willie Mays. It's
(32:18):
because they were in the Polo Grounds that night that
both of those things happened, or that day, I should say,
because it was an odd configuration to put a baseball
park and a polo field is actually what it was.
So Willie Mays could run and run to deep center.
It was over four to eighty to center. But the
game winning homer that night day was two hundred and
(32:40):
fifty eight feet to right field. Two fifty eight and
if you've seen the clip, the shortstop is almost on
the warning track trying to catch the pop up it.
This was a little more massive than that a regular uh,
let's say, a real home run direct. I hesitate to
even say that. The other was a World Series game winner,
(33:02):
but this was three seventy three, not two seventy three.
What a postseason this guy has had so when's the
last time we had a World Series game when a
team was down multiple runs in the ninth inning or
later and still won. Royals at Mets twenty fifteen, the
clincher in Game five, two runs in the ninth off
(33:23):
your as familiar, and then a twelfth inning victory in
New York. This was an eleventh inning win for Texas
at home, six to five. And we're just starting this series.
Adulas Garcia has set the record most RBIs in a
single postseason. Corey Seger had hit a two run home
or bottom of the ninth to tie tonight. I mentioned
earlier on the show he was the hero of twenty
(33:45):
twenty for the Dodgers postseason. Seger in eighteen playoff games
had twenty RBIs that postseason. David Freese had twenty one
and just about single handedly beat Texas ironically in the
twenty eleven series. And now it's twenty two RBIs for
Adolas Garcia and counting, and he's only played thirteen games,
not eighteen so far. Game two of this series Saturday
(34:07):
night on Fox TV, right after college football. Then the
series will continue Monday in Arizona. Eleven games in the NBA,
They're all final, including late night road wins for Golden
State and Orlando. Utah beat the Clippers one twenty to
one eighteen Kawhi Leonard and Russell Westbrook missed the last
two shots. NHL Chicago in overtime beat Vegas four to three.
(34:29):
The Golden Knights had been seven and oh. A reminder
as far as Saturday college football on Fox TV, it
starts at noon Eastern Time with seven and oh Oklahoma
at Kansas. Then it's number eight ranked Oregon at number
thirteen Utah on Fox, then the World Series game Saturday Night.

(36:27):
The hero of the night in the Dallas area was
Luka Doncic scored forty nine points. Mavericks win and then
the Dolus Garcias said, oh no, no, no, wait wait
wait wait sorry, hey, great game, Luca, that's awesome. Thirty
three in game one, forty nine in game two. Yes,
you're jumping off to your MVP race really really good.
But I got something, a little something for you that's
(36:50):
gonna be a little bit better than your forty nine points.
Take a listen, Dony Scarcia suns one the other way.
Speaker 4 (36:56):
That sends Carrol mack p.
Speaker 6 (37:00):
Gsh Dules Garcia clease Game one, big Fox on the call.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Garcia is home run in the bottom of the eleventh
wins Game one of the World Series. They take it
over the Diamondbacks, and it was a shocker, a walk off.
And you know, you think that Diamondbacks fans have it
the worst right now, Mike Carmon, and they do have
it pretty bad. How World Series they're okay, yeah, but
I think Cardinals fans have it worse right now. Odaman
Arizona Cardinals, No Saint Louis Cardinals fans have it worse
(37:31):
because making the rounds is the tweet from twenty nineteen
where the Cardinals make an announcement saying we have traded
a Dolus Garcia to the Rangers for catch consideration. Yeah,
well unless that was a billion dollars you lost. Uh.
And of course the Cards, how dare you do? I
can't believe this, and they're really getting hammered right now.
(37:52):
But let look, let let me be honest with you here.
Stop for a second. I love a big hot take
as much as everybody else, but Garcia at that point,
they they traded him away for cash considerations. He was
twenty six, right, he's twenty six. When do you think
the guy had zero MLB experience to talk? You know,
he played in a handful of games. He had seventeen
(38:13):
at bats with the Cardinals in twenty eighteen. When you're
twenty six, twenty seven, it's okay, Really, how good is
he really gonna be? We can trade away for cash considerations.
Nobody knew he was going to turn into this. I mean,
you're talking about a guy the last three years thirty
home runs between ninety one hundred RBIs and now he's
the best postseason player this side of Derek Jeter. You know,
(38:35):
I get that it's fun to say to make fun
of the Cardinals, but like, nobody knew this was coming.
Nobody did.
Speaker 5 (38:40):
No.
Speaker 4 (38:40):
I mean he also was a guy that the Rangers
almost let go.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
So I mean it's not it's not like it's a
you know, a tale of Well, we just put in
the wrong name on a piece of paper.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
It was supposed to be the other guy.
Speaker 4 (38:54):
We swear the guy transposed to the numbers.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Can we do that again?
Speaker 4 (39:01):
We got to read.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
No, No, that's not the trade. Now the trade, I'm
going back to back. See somebody else is coming. Can
trade somebody else, somebody else. We're gonna trade Jorge Garcia
from Loss. That's what we want to trade. Yeah, that's
the guy we want to trade. Yes, we want to
trade Eddie Garcia. I want to get Eddie Garcia to No,
we don't want to trade Eddie Garcia. Although I don't know,
would you trade Eddie Garcia for Jorge Garcia? No, I don't.
(39:23):
Didn't watch Loss, so I don't care. Okay, all right,
I just want to make sure.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
No disrespect to miss that that mister Garcia. But I
know Ednie.
Speaker 7 (39:30):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
I'm leaving goodbye. Adolas Garcia is your hero. You heard
the plaudits and the status from Steve de Sager. A
few moments ago, and I'm telling you, I know it's
Game one and we're sitting here and and Garcia says, all,
it's gonna be a great long series. I don't know, man,
I picked the Diamondbacks to win. This is a huge
(39:54):
reversal of fortune from three outs away with a two
run lead to now we're down one zip. Gotta come
back in twenty four hours and try to get it
going again. I don't know that the series hasn't ended tonight.
I don't know the Ringers haven't won tonight with this.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
And you lose and used a lot of your bullpen
and your offense went to sleep, right, you had the lead,
always the hey add on, keep them at a distance,
insurance runs, you could say, ah whatever, you had a lead,
get over like no, no, no, your offense shut down?
Speaker 1 (40:27):
Exit? How about a Fresca exit swollen Dome. The Jason
