Speaker 3 (00:50):
We are headed in the World Series.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
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 very easy last couple innings for la
Clerk and now the Wines have a chance to win
(01:17):
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 the playoffs? Because Betts and Freeman, their
two best players by far, were awful, right combined one
(01:38):
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 Diamondbacks right now are completely driven by Corbyn
Carroll and Kettle Marte. They completely driven by these two
(01:59):
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
fam has a home run tonight. But when Carolyn Marte
are on base doing their thing, Arizona's kind of unbeatable
(02:20):
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
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
(02:42):
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
maybe they win in five, but those two guys are
the key to this series.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
If they can keep them off the bases.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
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 4 (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 (03:50):
Yeah, oh yeah, Pudge Rodriguez, you know yeah, I said, whoa,
that's Pudge.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Okay, that's Pudge. Yeah. I mean, look, oh, the ratings
for the World Series all the same.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
It's Friday night at midnight or nine o'clock on the
West Coach.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
You're not watching the game. Really, You're in.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
A bar in Manhattan Beach and they're texting me going,
how fun is this as far as I'm on air
and you're drinking.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Yeah yeah again.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Like I said, long way to go for them to
get arrested between now and Sunday.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
It is also a long way to the Topica well
if you want.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
A rock and roll but look a big night in
the NBA as well a couple of games of 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.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
As he has. He's not accurate enough.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
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. There's
other guys that can make shots.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
The team is pretty deep, whether it's quickly getting more
shots now de Vincenzo'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.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Guy, which is pretty much what RJ. Barrett is, And
that can't happen.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
If the Knicks are gonna win, they can't have Julius
Randol twenty two shots a game. Hey, what happened tonight?
Julius Randall cuts his shots in half? And what happens?
The Knicks went on the road against Atlanta. Tuda, 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.
(05:40):
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 gona kick the ball out and look how
well it is his 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
to be a facilitator. That can work. But now, look
(06:02):
at me, I'm the head coach. I'm the King of
New York.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Look at me, I'm the King and New York.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
I can coach a Knicks. I can do the radio
show with you, and I can coach Nicks at the
same time.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Look at me.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
It's not bad.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
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, be a better facilitator. He was
(06:56):
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 him 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.
Another eight misses. That's why these games are all gonna
(07:17):
be close. Yeah, because you guys can't hit a damn
free throw to save your souls.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
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.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
People make more free throws.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
You know what we should do. We should just get
rid of them.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
It's like kickoffs. It's like kickoffs and football. You know,
it doesn't matter. You can't do it.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
You know, it's like.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
The the brother lea shove. Hey, none of us can
do this. The nick should leave the charge. Anybody else
struggle with their free throw shooting and raise their hands.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Anybody anybody else see it costing you games with regularity?
Speaker 5 (07:59):
Say hey, let's bat.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Wow, we got a lot of guys. You want to
get rid of free throws. Okay, let's get rid of them.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
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 5 (08:18):
Next really didn't think idea I'd be able to tie
it to the burd.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Brotherly should.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
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.
(08:50):
The Texas Rangers lead the series one game to none.
How did it happen? Let's get the breaking news from
special deliveries Steve. The Sega 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 newsports, My friend.
Speaker 6 (09:17):
It's the Rangers 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
(09:37):
the first believe it or 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,
(10:00):
was 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.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Thank you very much.

And we got to talk about Luca scoring forty one.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
Oh yeah, yeah it was great. He called game called
glass and all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Yeah, that was great.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
But if I can coach the Knicks from three thousand
miles away, I can also manage the Diamondbacks from about
I don't know what eight six HAWVNY miles away, five
hundred miles away.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
What did I say the beginning of the night.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
If I'm the Diamondbacks, I walk a doolas Garcia every
single time. I don't pitch to him. I don't give
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
(11:25):
on the team. Steve talked, there's two guys that can
really hurt you, and make sure not one of them
does it.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
And instead Garcia gets a pitch he can handle.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
He homers over the wall in right center field, 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 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 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.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
I understand that. But two hours ago, when he gets
the base.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Hit from to bring in the runs in the in
the in the first inning, it's okay, that's it.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
That's the last strike he sees.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
I put him on base every single time because I'm
not gonna have him beat us. And what happens you
had a Dola Scarcia 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 a tweets age really well. I've had
tweets age really poorly. I've had takes age well and
takes age poorly. But in the short amount of time,
(12:42):
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.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Look good.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
It don't pitch to a Doulas Garcia. Why would you
do that? And now here the Diamondbacks learned this lesson,
but it 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 cloths are on the mound to go home, down,
(13:12):
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, 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.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
I could do it.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
When the pitch was thrown, it's like, oh, he missed
it right, and then it just kept sailing.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
I'm like, all right, that's gonna be a flyout to
the wall.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
It's like get.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Nope, nope, he got enough of it and rounds first
and the place just explodes. I mean that is 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
(13:58):
defenders fifteen yards. This guy don't go anywhere near the zone.
If you walk him too bad, 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
(14:19):
the plate and powers through and that's it. So everybody
on the Rangers bench erupts, and you know, 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.
(14:39):
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, he walks it off.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
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.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
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 4 (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. Right,
So he 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
(15:34):
no room for error.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Your guy.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
Oh wait, no, you picked the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
I picked the Diamondbacks, but used to Hey, look, Corey
Singer can still be your guy.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
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 loss into 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.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
You're as familiar you where you go. 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?
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Game one? What when he tried to quick pitch him
and it didn't work? And up?
Speaker 1 (16:23):
You know what, we don't need to talk about that.
Let's talk about adullas Carcy.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
Instead, celebrate the hero that is Garcia. T Nights The.

Things getting interesting. Game one of the World Series Rangers
(17:31):
two on two, out trailing the Diamondbacks five to three,
bottom of the sixth inning. I'll tell you one thing,
this game is not doing anything for Rob Manford's pace
of play is going to.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
Be It's good for Fox.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Let's go Wait a minute, I don't understand how with
Rob Manford saying these pace to play, how are these
playoff games getting just longer and longer and longer uh
so we will have more on this coming up again
two on two out for the Rangers in the bottom
of the sixth inning, but big time NFL stories to
get at two. Brock Purty looks like he's going to
play Dallas and the Rams one of the marquee games
(18:05):
of the week and joining us to talk about all
of that more. Longtime NFL insider, he is a Hall
of Very Good voter. You can fill him on Twitter
at Jason Cole sixty two. That is at Jason Cole
sixty two, and he has spent most of the week
on social media talking about how basically Jim Harbaugh and
the Michigan Wolverine should be able to cheat however they
(18:25):
want to. Whatever you need to do to get people's signs,
even you gotta stand on the same sideline with him,
go through the guy's pockets. It's not that big a deal.
Steal the signs and use them and go win games.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
What's up, j Cole?
Speaker 7 (18:41):
Which which gets me more all of very good or
you completely misquoting me and misrepresenting what I have to say.
But either way.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
It's sameameame, Okay, you're gonna try to rename it. It's
I know they I saw they put up the new
aluminum siding that said all of very good.
Speaker 7 (19:04):
I really do feel like Charles Grodin in that terrible
movie What was Istar at the end when he's going
just shoot him, shoot him, shoot him. That's one of
the one of the worst movies. Like, who ever thought?
So let's say let's do the movie where we juxtaposed
(19:28):
Justin Hoffman and Warren Batty and have Hoffman play the
good looking guy who thought that was a good idea?
Who who paid? Yeah, well that was the point of it.
But when you have Warren baby like, you know, you
(19:49):
play the you play the easy card on that way,
you really just do sorry.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Like say, let's put Will Ferrell in a movie. Great,
but it's it's a drama. No no, no, nobody's gonna
be fine.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
He'll be fine. It's no, no, not gonna work, not
gonna work. Not.
Speaker 7 (20:03):
Although I thought Adam Sandler Adam Sandler wasn't too bad
as the sort of addicted uh jeweler slash gamble addicted
gam like that wasn't bad.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
That was not much. That was a different movie. Yeah,
I know what, Okay, just making sure.
Speaker 7 (20:21):
Thank you for I appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Let's let's let's get it, because you you've really you know,
in comparing this to Spygate and the cheating scandal going
on with Michigan, we find out every day there's more
and more. Today a D three coach said that, yeah, uh,
Michigan staff for paid me to go to other Big
ten schools and tape their their signs and everything. I
get that, you know, because look, I know you talked
(20:48):
about how, hey, this happens in sports, and TCU felt
they had the deal with that national stupid.
Speaker 7 (20:53):
No, it's just stupid. It's just completely idiotic. Number one
changed rules and put in the coach to quarterback, slash line,
you know, middle linebacker, whoever is the defensive captain who
calls the signals, put it in, like stop being idiots.
Just put that device in to the game, right, just
(21:14):
like the NFL has done. That's number one. Number two. God,
this is amazing. I know, it's I'm just I'm really
reinventing things by saying this, Say what's the week? Change
your signs?
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Yeah, I know, and I get all of that. I
understand what you're saying.
Speaker 7 (21:35):
I did I did, I did it in Little league. No, no, no, no, no, no,
I as a coach did it in little league. It's
not that hard. I was teaching ten, eleven and twelve
year old bunt and curveball signs. That's all I was doing.
It's easy, it's really simple.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
And instead of me touching my belly for bunt, I'm
going to touch my belt. Okay, so belt bunch. It
was belly bunch.
Speaker 7 (22:00):
Now it's felt it was now. The curveball was my
feet are together. Otherwise the fastball, okay, it really wasn't.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
No, but listen, I get where you're coming from. I understand,
and I understand you. I understand Dion Sanders talking about hey,
you got to stop it. I understand all of this. However,
the NCAA is different. They're going to throw the book
at Michigan. They're going to make them ineligible for the
Big Ten, and they're not going to play in the CFP.
Speaker 7 (22:27):
Well maybe I don't know what I mean. When was
the last time we considered the nc two A an
affective governing body? It's true, right, Oh lost control college
football and now the players run college football. We're awesome.
You know. Mark Emmert spent twenty years? Was that? How
(22:48):
long he was in office being the worst commissioner in
all of sports. And the only reason that he kind
of got away with it that not people who don't
really notice is that it was college football, so nobody
really knows ultimately who's in charge. But I mean that
was I mean, that man's a blithering idiot. He just
(23:10):
didn't understand the basic things, like they're going to beat
you in court, clutch it in court, and he was
like shocked when they lost nine to nothing in court
over basically you know nil, Like, I mean, you're just
a bad administrator, and why don't you do something to
(23:30):
get ahead of this problem instead of doing nothing? And
by doing nothing, you've rendered the NCAAA completely and totally
in effect. Now they may do something to Harbaugh because
they're tired of Harbaugh's act and because Ryan Day wants
to get back at Harbor because he can't beat him
on the field, and who knows what whoever else is
(23:51):
after Harbor because for Harbaugh has certainly done a ton
of things to piss off other coaches. I get it,
but hey, let's not pretend that Harbaugh is the only
guy doing this. Tons of schools are doing it. Be
Let's not pretend that this is a really simple thing
to fix, and it just puts the.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
Fit it.
Speaker 7 (24:12):
Get this out of the way. Why are we talking
about this right now? Like, Okay, we just spend like
one thousand dollars per team to put in a microphone system,
right like, this is not hard, right, You're making a controversy,
say nothing, Like this was a controversy in the NFL
what fifteen years ago and they didn't learn then and
(24:34):
problem of big controvert in all of this we fanned out,
which is it Snisher because I said.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Wes J that we had we had to fix that. Uh,
let's let's fix it up. Patrick.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Uh yeah, we lost him. I think maybe I don't know,
maybe someone was stealing his phone. That could have been
what it is money?
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Well, I mean, look it's it clearly doesn't cost a
lot of money.
Speaker 5 (24:59):
Did you what Michigan is doing? And I mean we
saw the estimate.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Of maybe maybe it was Michigan stealing his signals? See
what I did there? Signal that's good?
Speaker 5 (25:08):
Was all it took to you know, set up this
elaborate scheme.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
All right, let's find it. If he's better, Hey, was
Michigan stealing your signal. Oh he just dropped all right,
Uh yeah, all yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Jim Harbaugh's outside his house right now with with with
with scissors and wearing all kinds of cameo.
Speaker 7 (25:25):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
We'll get back to Jay Coleman, but right now, let's
find out what's trending in the wide world of sports
as the World Series getting into winning time for Game
one special deliveries.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Steve to Seger has more on.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
This and the big night in the NBA that has,
of course punctuated by the Knicks win over the Hawks.
Speaker 6 (25:41):
Yeah, maybe Arizona leads to Texas five to three, top
of the seventh. You guys were talking about the whole
steal of taco promotion yet again in the World Series
this year for Major League Baseball, However, it has changed
recently because you have to be a registered rewards member
and have an account with the fast food place on
(26:04):
their mobile app and then go to a participating location.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
So you do have like a long time to sign
up for this though.
Speaker 6 (26:11):
No, you have until tonight.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
No, I thought you have until like two weeks to
sign up.
Speaker 6 (26:17):
No, you have like ten days to get the taco.
You're out of luck tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
He's the newsman Smith, what you doing?
Speaker 3 (26:29):
So I have to wait? Wait, so I have okay,
hang on, okay.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
So I had to sign up and I have ten
days to get the tako.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
Not crazy, oh, because.
Speaker 6 (26:39):
Now you're a rewards member, but you have to have
a registered with account with them on their mobile app.
So can I just say that this whole thing, Yeah,
that's right, as Admiral Akbar himself would say, and I
think he said often, it's a crap.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
That's right, nus well sad to show, thank you very much.
Speaker 6 (27:02):
Game number one of the World Series is at Texas.
Here are the details of this opener are the best
of seven so far. They're going to the seventh inning
stretch Arizona five to three in the lead. Texas did
get two runs in the first, yet again, Zach Gallon
gives up two runs in the first of a playoff game,
third straight game. He went five innings, five strikeouts, four walks. Diamondbacks,
(27:23):
of course, came back and they are now leading going
to the bottom of the seventh as Corbyn Carrol hits
a two run triple in the third score, sliding into
home on a fielder's choice. There's also a Tommy fam
solo homer in the fourth Marte with the RBI double
in the fifth inning to Tell Marte of Arizona with
a seventeen game hitting streak that ties the postseason record.
(27:45):
Marte already has the longest streak to start any postseason career.
George W. Bush, former president and former owner of the Rangers,
throughout the first pitch tonight. He threw to former catcher
for Texas EVONN. Rodriguez. For Game two tomorrow, Adrian Beltre
will throw out the first pitch to Fergie Jenkins. Reportedly
Game two Saturday nights on Fox TV as well right
(28:08):
after college football, and then the series continues Monday in Arizona.
Now to the NBA News and Yeah, eleven games tonight, Okay,
it includes the New York victory j Johnson thirty one points.
They wonted Atlanta one twenty six to one twenty final
seconds at Chicago. Toronto leads the Bulls ninety one to ninety.
(28:28):
Denver got a win at Memphis one oh four. Nikolai
Jokic twenty two points, but he had seven assists nine
turnovers as well. They're midway through overtime at San Antonio
and the Spurs now have a six point lead on
Houston one seventeen to one eleven victor Wembin Yamu with
nineteen points, eight rebounds, three turnovers. He has played twenty
(28:51):
eight minutes of this game. Victories for Detroit and Oklahoma
City on the road, Boston at home beat Miami won
nineteen one eleven Jimmy Butler and the loss three of eleven,
shooting for fourteen points. Lighter night in the NHL, Chicago
in overtime defeated Vegas four three. Vegas had been seven
to zero. Carolina a three to nothing winner over slumping
(29:12):
San Jose, which is now seven and one and one.
NFL Note forty nine Ers quarterback Brock Party returned to
full practice today. He's questionable with a concussion. San Francisco
will host Cincinnati. Purty still needs to clear protocols last
step tomorrow to be playing Sunday.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Back to you, thanks a bunch, Steve O. I believe
we have Jason cole back. I believe he's gotten a
signal back. I don't think there's anybody outside his house
looking in seeing what he's typing into his phone, and
he's moving in and out of range. So have you
avoided the University of Michigan people outside your house getting
your signal?
Speaker 7 (29:45):
Actually no, I'm getting calls of support from Harbaugh right now.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
He's like, good.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
More importantly, did you avoid the noid?
Speaker 7 (29:58):
The best part is like I was hear you, guys, fine,
and then Patrick came back on and goes, oh, I
can hear you, let me put you back on, and
then all of a sudden, I hear click, we got
hung up on. Wait to go, Patrick, There you go.
Good production. He's gonna call you guys, Big Mike and
Big Jason again. Real thick.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Yeah, that's awesome right there.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Yet fine, click, I'm hanging up on you.
Speaker 5 (30:24):
Not gonna, not gonna, not gonna hear you anymore.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
It may sound like I'm not hanging up I'm not.
Just just stay on the line, trust me, Just stand
the line stand alone.
Speaker 5 (30:32):
Would you like to be on the air.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
So so, the point, the point you were making before
you moved out of range to get the pizza from
the guy that door dashed it to you about Michigan
was what.
Speaker 7 (30:43):
I just think this is This is one of those
much ado about nothing controversies. Oh well, this is the
other point that came up is that I said to
this one college administrator, well, shouldn't this be really easy
to check? I mean, you've got expense reports that have
to be reported by the assistant. He goes, extens reports,
he goes, He goes, they pay for that ass slush
(31:05):
fund money that's off the side. And I'm like, well
we'll wait a second, Wait a second. College lush fund
money that's off books, Like, what's going on there? That's
the bigger controversy to me, say.
Speaker 5 (31:22):
They get every college. Jake Cole, come on.
Speaker 7 (31:25):
Well petty cash, Yeah, oh, petty cash. You need to
go to eleven trips. Here you go, roll out the cash.
We need to pay somebody to film some games. Like
It's just I just get tired of people wringing their
hands over problems that are really easy to solve, should
(31:45):
have been solved. And as I have said many times,
go ahead, look at my son's number one. I'm I'm
going to change at number two. I'll be like TCU
and I'll do you one better. Not only am I
going to, you know, show you the same signal. And
you think I'm going to go base defense, I'm gonna
show you that signal and then I'm going to go
(32:06):
all out blitz and I'm going to kill your quarterback.
If you want to steal signs, I'm gonna I'm going
to just destroy your quarterback with an all up blitz
one time when he thinks it's going to be a
base call, because you're going to pay for the pay
for the fact that you're trying to steal figne. That's
the way it should be done. That's the way that
it should be handled in my view.
Speaker 5 (32:29):
There you go, Smith, you got your answer.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
All right.
Speaker 5 (32:32):
Look, Smith was outside and all all week.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
Ja Cole that we were going to get to see
Sam Darnold and proof once and for all that it's
not just the Jets.
Speaker 7 (32:41):
The Jets picked the right guy. They just didn't get
him ready. He's actually a good player.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
But now it looks like Purty make clear protocols to
get ready for this week's game.
Speaker 7 (32:55):
It was was Smith's like queuing up ghosts in the
machine or the police, right, and uh, you know, to
reminisce about the days of Sam Donald.
Speaker 5 (33:08):
Well, he was his biggest champion.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
As you recall, I'm in the room. I'm in the
room while you guys are I'm in the room. I'm
right here, I'm in the room.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
I mean, all the purposes of this.
Speaker 7 (33:19):
This is not the first time we've ever done this
with you.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
And the Jims have a worse quarterback than they had before.
So there you go. Ah, who's a joke on now?
Speaker 7 (33:30):
Okay, yes, you thought about that one for a while. Okay, good.
It's like Party is their guy and Sam. Look, Sam
Donald is a really good dude, but he is the
break glass in case of emergency quarterback right now. He
was the excuse to get rid of Trey Lance. Probably
(33:53):
you can get through a game or two with Sam Donald,
but they need to have rock Perty if they're if
they're going to have any hope of winning a championship
this year. And that is not to say that brock
Perty is a game changing quarterback or any of those
things that people can assume, but for what they're trying
to do, you know, if they can get a healthy
(34:13):
team and not be missing key players like Samuel or
McCaffrey or Trent Williams that for that matter, if they
can have that you know, healthy team going the playoffs,
they're as good as anybody, certainly anybody in the NFC.
They're right there with Philly.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
You can fob on Twitter at Jason Cole sixty two.
That is, at Jason Cole sixty two. Just don't expect
his phone to be working for the entire time when
you call it.
Speaker 7 (34:40):
Yeah, yeah, I know. It's the Ohio State fans are
trying to break the signal. Right now, there we go.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
Take it easy, buddy. We'll talk to you next week.
Speaker 7 (34:48):
Later, guys, beg good bye, Jakole.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Great stuff As always from j Cole.

The Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon,
live from the ti rack dot Com Studios. Top of
the eighth inning in Texas, Diamondbacks up five to three
over the Rangers.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
They're batting with one out.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Zach Allen Nathan Valdi both long gone from this game.
It's gonna be the Bullpens trying to lock it down
for the Diamondbacks here as they bat in the top
of the eighth inning, trying to protect a two run
lead with six outs to go before they could capture
Game one. A big and maybe it's the first big
moment of Victor wembin Yama's career. We have that coming
(36:53):
up in a few minutes for you. But time to
get to some NFL. Mike and I do this every week,
we give you our Upsets Special picks for the week
in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
I'm pumped.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
I'm ready. Two and oh last week. Look at your
in and five on the season. Now, I'm feeling pretty
good my garment. I'm feeling good.
Speaker 4 (37:10):
Feeling good about yourself, as is the public overall through
the verse seven weeks of the season.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
All right, why don't you kick it off? Give us
your first Upset Special pick of the week. As long
as it's not the Giants.
Speaker 5 (37:20):
As long as it's not, well, it won't be. It
won't be that.
Speaker 4 (37:23):
I'm gonna go all the way to Sunday Night Football,
not just because I'm gonna be there, it's more where
the line sits.
Speaker 5 (37:29):
Bears getting eight and a half on the road at
the Chargers.
Speaker 4 (37:33):
I mean Brandon Staley did have some big moments in
his life at the local option, the bar that my
brothers and I attend and hang out at when we
are together in Chicago.
Speaker 5 (37:44):
So he's got that.
Speaker 4 (37:45):
So he's a he's you know, he warms my heart there,
but not when it comes to play calling. Bears under
Tyson Bagent look like a more cohesive you to get
the ball out quickly, move quickly, fight for the extra yard,
and you saw Dion Dave Foreman leading the charge. Roshawn
Johnson'll be back as well. I'll take the Bears plus
(38:05):
the eight and.
Speaker 3 (38:06):
A half now.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Now, the only thing I could disagree with you with
on is that you guys will be at the game
because there are still two days for you and your
brothers to get arrested.
Speaker 5 (38:15):
Today.
Speaker 4 (38:18):
I am currently on the radio with you, So I
think I'm pretty good knock Wood free in new.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
Days two full days, Mike.
Speaker 5 (38:27):
But then I'm gonna go crash the booths. Frostburg already
knows this.
Speaker 4 (38:31):
I I'm coming and and then I'm gonna start yelling.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
My first pick. I'm gonna go. It's shocking to do this,
but I'm gonna.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
Go with the team that hasn't won Yet give me
the Panthers getting three and a half over the Texans. Look,
the Texans can't run and their defense isn't great. They
give up a lot. Carolina is coming off the bye.
There's not a lot of places for a win on
this schedule. This is where I expect them to play
their best game, and I don't know that all the
(39:03):
strengths of the Texans play into what Carolina struggles with defensively.
This is gonna be a game where Hey, Carolina is
the Carolina is getting three and a half points. Usually
I say, hey, you know, Carolina, I'm not gonna need
the three and a half points, but I'll take them. No, No,
I want every inch of this three and a half points.
I'll take every point you want to give me. But
(39:24):
give me Carolina plus three and a half over the Texans.
Speaker 4 (39:27):
If nothing else showcase game, perhaps because the trade deadline Tuesday,
Hey you want any of these guys, look at what
they look like in their last bit of tape with
our squad.
Speaker 5 (39:38):
All right, big week ahead.
Speaker 4 (39:40):
Obviously no buys this week, which is exciting for us.
As we go, I am gonna go with the home underdog.
That is the fighting Gardner Minshews. Why because it's Derek
Carr on the other side or will it be Taysom Hill.
Speaker 5 (39:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (39:56):
We'll see before it's all said and done, we'll see
who car gets to scream at this week. The Colts
the narrow one to one and a half point underdog,
so not a massive upset here, But it's more just
the indictment on what's going on with the Saints. Yeah,
PPR leagues, Alvin Kamara is gonna score twenty points free again.
Speaker 5 (40:16):
Hot route is the order of the day.
Speaker 4 (40:19):
But the fighting minshoes with that dual headed running approach
hot R Michael Pittman Junior alongside Josh Downs and Gardner
Minshew running like his Harison fire.
Speaker 3 (40:30):
You said Minshew's name like eleven times in picking this.
You said, I.
Speaker 4 (40:34):
Said three times, so much so it's all about hitting.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
His name three times, and you said fighting minchews and
minshew mania and then fighting minshoes again.
Speaker 3 (40:42):
I'm counting the minshees. I'm counting all the.
Speaker 5 (40:45):
Minches and then you said it nine more times. See
what I did. There a lot of energy towards the Colts.
Speaker 3 (40:51):
I am not a big fan of this team.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
The fans are not a big fan of this team,
even though they're four and two.
Speaker 3 (40:58):
But give me the Steelers getting through over the Jaguars.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
Look, Pittsburgh's defense is gonna give Jacksonville issues. Yes, the
Jaguars are hot, they've won four in a row, but
they haven't been they haven't done it how good I
thought they would be. Right, Jacksonville's winning and that's great, right,
and they're in a bad division. They're doing what you
want them to do, but they have been doing it
so impressively. Pittsburgh's offense is starting to figure out what
(41:22):
their identity is. They're divving up the running responsibility. Getting
Deontay Johnson back was huge. I know he's on the
injury report for this week, but it looks like he's
gonna be okay. Jacksonville's been hot. This is a close
one all the way. Pittsburgh being at home is a
big difference for me, just like Carolina. Oh no, no,
I'll take every inch of the three points in this one.
But gimme pitt getting three over Jacksonville.
Speaker 4 (41:43):
Yeah, big deal in this one is can they keep
Watt and Heismith from getting home? If you can, then
you can work against that secondary Kirk and even Calvin
Ridley might have something to say, but here you go.
Here's your stat for Tomlin Ready eighteen five and three
is a home dog his career.
Speaker 3 (42:01):
Give me the Steelers get for you there. Thank you, buddy.
Speaker 1 (42:05):
I appreciate that I added value, and hopefully I was
warning your brothers to be on their best behavior.
Speaker 3 (42:09):
The next couple of dnears that's too late for that.
Speaker 1 (42:12):
Coming up next the first big must here must see
moment of Wemby's career plus two big quarterback stories.
Speaker 3 (42:19):
Next, This is Fox
