Speaker 2 (00:22):
Let's give this.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. I'm six years old
and going to my first Mets game. Oh boy, yeah, buddy, Hello,
and welcome inside the greatest night in the history of sports.
Didn't know what tonight but it is. I didn't realize
it was tonight. It's not memo, it's tonight. I mean
(00:45):
I got a sandwich, so that worked out well for me.
Uh hey, I had McDonald's for everybody coming in Donald's.
Everybody were grimaced it tonight buddy, Live from the tire
rack dot Com studios, The Jason Smith Show with my
best friend Carmen. Tire rack dot Com help you get
there an unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road has
a protection and over ten thousand recommended in sawers. Tire
(01:07):
rack dot Com is the way tire buying should be
Yankees up three two, Dodgeres, five nothing the Mats.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
I know, hey, Will Smith hit the ball.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yeah, top of the ninth inning, Yankees holding on to
a three to two lead over the Royals. They just
got out of a two on, two out jam in
the bottom of the eighth. Yankee's looking to go up
two games to one there. Meanwhile, the Dodgers were with
their backs to the wall. Maybe this is what they need.
Up five nothing now over the Padres. As they bat
in the fourth inning, a two run homer by Will
(01:37):
Smith extends that lead. Mookie Bets with a home run
in the first Suddenly, now Mookie Bets is getting hit
like every three at bats. Three every three at bats,
he's hitting a home run.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
If the fans had done their job, he'd have a
homer in three straight. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Well, you know, well, Mit Meal, party of the red scene.
Got to make sure it's better than anything Cecil b.
De Mill could have ever.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Come up with.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Gotta make sure I get that ball and he doesn't
come out with it right, Gotta make sure I'm getting his.
But either way, Bets hits a home run. Now you
got Smith and the opener theory for Dave Roberts thus
far working. Yeah, the Dodgers spent a billion dollars last
year in contracts, and it's a back to the wall.
(02:16):
Robert's job probably on the line tonight, and it's a bullpen.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Game like that.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
That's baseball. That's baseball in one sentence right there. They
spent a billion dollars. The manager is going to get
fired if they lose, most likely, and they have a
bullpen game. They're at a bullpen game and they're back
to the wall, must win game. Just started thinking about it,
you know, as we've talked about it the last few weeks,
the number of starting pitchers, what was at seventeen, The
fact that you had Urius and Trevor Bauer were supposed
(02:45):
to be part of this squad, right, that's part of
the lost money and obviously horrible circumstances and allegations around
both of them, but those were supposed to be or
two of your big starts, right, two frontline guys that
are going in addition to go go down all the
way through the the litany of pitchers that have gone
(03:07):
to the injured list never to be seen again. And
then the unfortunate news that even Clayton Kershaw couldn't rally
himself to get back into the mix for this postseason.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
So here we are in a win or go home
road game with the.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Opener a billion dollars in money, billion dollars spent, and
yeah we have we have a bunch of guys going.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
I keep braising my hand. I want to keep talking
to the trainers. Guys, do we see anything? It's just
a bunch of guys.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
I know Mike's watched a couple of games, but Jason,
if you watched any Dodger games this whole year, what
has been their strongest point all year? Having bat well, yeah,
of course, outside of Otani, it's the bullpen right well,
Dave Robert is very well season long.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
But this is actually a great strategy. I'm all for
it now, and maybe Otani will come in to close
it out. If you need to be coming the pitch
of ninth, you shut your mouth.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
What would he his entrance song? Do you Think I
Am the Goat? Which by Little John.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
I was wondering what death metal band you were bringing up, Romstunt.
For me, it would be something from well because he
was fifty to fifty, probably something from fifty one to
fifty Van Halen. Nice, you know, just guy trying to
think of fifty to fifty in a song something by
fifty seventies. And gentlemen, you know you're welcome our new closer.
It's Andy Haygar.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
So again we'll have more on these games coming up again.
Ninth in in Yankees trying to hold on, Dodgers up
five nothing, going to the bottom of the third.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Now the Mets, we gave it five minutes, all right,
go ahead, you know.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Just so you know, in a forty two minute car ride,
you can listen to Back in the New York Groove
thirteen times in a forty.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Minutes, Yeah, including the trail off for years.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
When when it gets to the end and it goes back,
like if you're listening to it off, it doesn't have
a full trail. Yeah, I know, trick it's three on nine, Okay,
three on nine and then you go back. You can
listen to it thirteen times in a forty two minute ride,
how about that?
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Yeah? You know I started doing like a few years
ago when when.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
When my daughter was younger, we would go to Disneyland
a lot and I would go and say, you know,
you can listen to the Nigel song from Rio thirteen
times in thirty nine minutes. I didn't know that, you know,
you could listen to it that many times. Nigel in
the back of the New York Group thirteen times in
a forty two minute drive. Not a Disney property. Even
that's okay. You could mix things while you're in the car.
And I'm just yelling and screaming the entire time. I
(05:28):
don't know what to say. I mean, just think about
this for a second. The three biggest home runs in
the history of the franchise. We're all hit in the
last nine games, like Agbayanni had a big home run
in the thirteenth inning in two things. And this is
kind of what this run reminds me of. This Mets
now in twenty twenty reminds me of what it wasn't
in two thousand and Ventura with the Grand Slam that
(05:49):
turned out not to be a Grand Slam.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
It was a single.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
But I mean, you're talking about three biggest home runs,
Lindor's home run to beat the Braves, Alonzo's three run
homer off the Brewers, that it is gonna look they
went back at in the history of baseball, and talk
about one of the biggest home runs ever hit. And
now tonight Lindor's grand slam in the sixth inning to
give the Mets the four to one lead and that's it.
Lights out games over see you in the NLCS. I
was chuckling at the Lindor home run today, just how
(06:14):
bad a pitch that was because they'd been so erratic. Yeah, right,
that inning was an absolute disaster from Biller to post
the entire series for the Phillies bullpen, the best bullpen
in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Oops, it was a disaster.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Here's pitching the dirt, pitching the dirt all the way
to the backstop and going up like you were playing
ski ball. I mean, all of this stuff. And then
here's a two to one count and just straight straight ball.
Fat ball. Yeah I even said it as it wasn't crossing. Wow,
that was a fat ball. And Eleanor is sitting at
(06:50):
working on some homeworks, just what's a fat ball? I've
heard of a fastball. I'm like, here, watch this pook,
this fat flastball that doesn't.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
It's got no movement. It is right over the middle
of the plane, you know.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
And there's a difference and why do you see pitches
like that, Certain things like there's so much to get
to this home run by Lindor's just by the way,
they were only nine with runners and scoring physicians, because
that's the other thing. Credit that was just in the
first two innings. But you got to give credit to
the Mets staff. Kintana, former White, don't waste your time
thinking anybody but Grimace. You man, Grimace outside, No, you're
(07:25):
outside of Grimace had a bete thing to do it, grimacide.
We're at this one listen in Major League Baseball. I
think now we're seeing best years Grimace than Otani, then Lindor.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
WHOA, let's just straight this respect, dude. It's Grimace you
doing is always one? Yeah, no, he's great, but he's
not Grimace. He's the one. He's not great.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
People aren't having pilgrimages to see to take pictures in
front of the purple seat they painted for him a
city field like.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Grimace hit fifty to fifty.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
They did say, like ninety of all uh Japanese tourists
that came to the States showed up in Dodger Stadium
for a four millions because they all land keep going
and they all say, no, come here to see Grimmace.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
But I thought that's in New York. No, no, we
have Grimace here.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Oh okay, why do we not have Grimmace Grimas Grimmas,
gris Grima City Field.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
You see, you see in this and in the pies.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
The bullpen always becomes front and center in the playoffs
because bullpen is much more active at this time than
any other time in the season, right because you start
teams say, hey, if I get four innings out of
our starting pitcher. Right when you get to six innings,
a guy could be cruising regular seasons. Yeah, let the
guy go. Save our bullpen for a day. Oh six inning,
you might need to come out, dude, I'm mowing them down.
I'm throwing ninety eight. I just sawed off bats. Now,
(08:41):
I thrown a lot of pitches. Time to come out
of the game. You get to six innings, that's a lot.
There is so much emphasis on the bullpen and watching
the guys come in from the bullpen, and.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
This is where you know the closers is a different thing.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
We had the conversation about closers last night that it
wasn't so much about hey, they're not ready for the
moment as much as it is. Do they trust their stuff?
Do they try to get too cute? It's the playoffs.
They overthink things, and this is how you see big
closers get beat because they just think too much. I
want to do this this, And suddenly it's three and
one and you're giving up a home run to a loonzo,
giving up a hole Rundlin door, giving up a home
(09:15):
run to somebody. You're giving a big home run in
the ninth inning. You think too much because you see
the closers all fall behind and they have to come
back with a fat pitch. Right for the middle relievers
that come in, it's different. It's when you fall behind
an account. I can always tell what reliever is feeling
it and what reliever is not, because when you fall
behind two and one, like I still saw a range
of Suarez today. He was awful, right, he was all over,
(09:38):
but still at three and one, He's throwing that curve
that is landing in the dirt and the Mets can't
lay off, and I'm like, how do you not?
Speaker 3 (09:44):
How do you not lift?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
That pitch is starting out above your head and it's
landing at your shoe tops and the Mets can't lay
off it. Yeah, that's a gusty, right, But that's a
guy that is confident that, no matter what was going on,
I'm back.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
I think I got a two on nobody out.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I'm still throwing this curve and you're not going to
touch it, right, And eyes come in from the bullpen
and you can see, Hey, when they're behind in the count,
are they gonna still trust their stuff and throw their
pitches or are they gonna say, you know what, I
can't walk them. I gotta make it. I'm gonna make
them hit it, and I'm gonna I gotta make sure
we get this over the plate. And it's a ninety
eight mile an hour fastball right down the middle, and
the best pitchure, best hitters in baseball are gonna turn
(10:18):
on it. Like That's what I see when and the
Phillies the entire series, I watched them come in. None
of them had confidence, none of them were ready. They
all fell behind the Mets hitters. This is the best bullpen.
Every pitchure the Phillies were throwing out there, you would say,
here's an all Star, right, here's Zach Wheel or Allstar Suarez,
all Star, here's Matt Strump All Star.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
None of them were ready. They all fell behind. None
of them.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Trusted their stuff. They threw fat pitches over the plate.
Marte single yesterday to make it a four to nothing
game was a pitch you should never been thrown. You're
way ahead in the count and you throw a fat
one right over the plate. Q Susan Waldman. I saw
that the entire series from the Phillies, and here you
come in. You're two and one behind a Lindoor with
the bases loaded. Hey, I can't walk him. Like he's
had a couple of bad swings in the game today,
(10:58):
he had some really bad swings, a tough time with Suarez,
and you throw that ninety eight men, he's just gonna
turn and crush it.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
And he just routed first.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Base like eh, I just know, it's like, you know whatever,
It's like a preseason on run like Sanders. I'm just
I'm just hitting it, which you have to respect.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
That's it. I mean, that's Lindor.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
As soon as he hit it, I just yelled, he
got it, he got it, he got I mean, I
don't know, I have.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Nothing left, man.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
I need these three days off before the NLCS because
I mean from Lindora's home run against the Braves and
Alonso and and and the drama with the Phillies.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
I got no, I don't know how they're playing.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I have none, But that's that's the bigger thing, is right,
is what we've seen is the big inning from your
squad has been the saving grace. They're not bleed to
run here or there. No, no, no, it's big innings,
big hits and big flies with your guy Lindor today,
because otherwise you had opportunities, not as many as the
Phillies did early, but you had opportunities and not a
(11:54):
whole lot.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
And then that inning just unraveled.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
It was a that's a master's class of how to
really screw up a game really fast, trying to get
too cute, dancing around the edges. Rial Muta should put
in for hazard pay the amount of times he had
to do splay it splaying out, trying to block pitches
in the dirt and rolling through. But yeah, just an
an impressive at bat from Lindor. Waited on it and
(12:20):
got the fattest pitch you're ever gonna see. I really
just hammered it and it was gone, like as soon
as he as soon as hit it, you knew, like
that's it, he got it.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
He got radio.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Yeah, the outfielders knew. And again I want and as
soon as Lindor swung I said he got it, he
got it. I knew like Alonzo. I could tell because
he yelled. Lindor was the same reaction when he hit
the home run against the Braves, got it. The guy
just loves playing baseball. He gets a hit like that,
he rounds the bases. He's not somebody that's for showing it.
He's not Jesse Winker who would hit the home run
and run by the dugout and go blank you, blank
(12:51):
you blank you.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
I mean, I don't know what to say about that.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
I kind of going and see. I like both ends
of the spectrum. I don't like the guy that's kind
of half ass, right. I either want to full on
Hotis Machado, dance on you poor the Lindor. I'm just
gonna round the bases and do my Barry Sanders give
the ball back to the official. I when when he
hit that, and I screamed and I said, that's it,
that's it, it's over, and then I'm dating.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Don't bring Diaz in. Let Peterson finish the games.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
In and he walks the first two, and I say,
You've got to be kidding me, man, And all I'm
thinking of is ty Shirt's gonna play that Diaz open
all night. He's gonna give up the lead and we're
gonna lose, and Tyser's gonna play that bleeping edwin Diaz
Narco open every single hour tonight in the show. And
then he calmed down and got the next three Out's
pretty easy. But I'm like, come on, man, I'm like, no,
(13:41):
let Peterson finish. He's he's a starter, he can pitch.
He's fine.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
No, no, no, no, We're gonna bring in Diaz. Could
never be easy. It's a good thing we got that
open with Peterson in. There can never be sweating dude.
That's the thing with closers, man.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Since twenty twenty, I've been sweating das one unbelievable year.
Everything else is you deserve it. It is absolutely you
need you need it. I just I deserve I deserve this.
I deserve this. Nlcyes, are you kidding? Oh my goodness,
Oh my goodness. Meanwhile, you still have Aaron Rodgers, so
there's a balance. No time I have no time for
those Shenanigans times. Right now, I get so many people
(14:18):
on my social media account going, oh, it's gonna be
another night we're talking about the Jets.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
I'm like, I got no time for those clowns. I
got the n l Show. You show the tweets that
I tell you about, they exist. I got no I
got no time for those clowns. I got the NLCS
coming up. Man, come on, I got good stuff happening.

The Yankees beat the Royals three to two. I'm watching
John Paul Morosi interviewed gian Carlos stanton So in the
last couple of minutes, stant who had the big home
run in the eighth inning to give them the three

to two. Meanwhile, the Dodgers continue to lead the Padres

five nothing, two outs bottom of the third inning. Fernando
Tatis Junior has just doubled to the wall in center,

flyout to left. Dodgers. Go in Michael Kopek in the
game in the third inning. Time about that for the Dodgers.
Another white now good, so five nothing lead for the Dodgers.

Speaker 3 (16:59):
Dodgers lead.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
There is five nothing in the fourth inning, Yankees finishing
touches on a three to two win over the Royals.
Congratulations to the second best team in New York keeping
their season alive one more game. It really is really
great by the Yankees to seat they're very, very happy
to see.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Succeed in proceede.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Walt Breed's a little easier tonight, very happy ither hard
fought win. We're still uh, Bobby wits bat is on
the side of the milk carton. Anything is for my dad,
though he is, he's not the happiest that it was
Stanton hitting the home run. Like Judges got Judge and
he just can't stand. And Stanton is like Stan stance,
like he love Judges, this guy. I'm like, Dad, it
(17:40):
doesn't matter. Yeah, but Stan's been so bad.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Yeah, but he hit a home rock. He's in the lineup. Okay,
he's in the lineup.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
It's like, but the right guys aren't hitting the rat
I'm like, you think, I don't care. Tom Brady could
bat for the Mets in the eighth inning and if
he gets a single over drawing an infield to win
the game, yay, I don't care.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Go back to those A Rod Yankees.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
How many people hated a Rod until they didn't until
all of a sudden it's like, hey, wait, what of us?
Speaker 3 (18:08):
And they saw how his teammates reacted and everything go.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
But it's the same thing with Stanton, Like he's always
at arms distance with all of this, and I get it,
he's missed a ton of time. And Judge is the face,
second face of the game, all that stuff, But you
got a contribution to win a playoff game.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
Be happy.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
No, man, your bullpen held us. Not the right guy now,
You're not the right guy. You need the right guy.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Joining us now in the hot line. Man who is
probably rooting for Dodgers Mets as much as I am.
It's longtime Dodger fan. And look, as long as he's
been a fan of the Dodgers, they have been a
very good team. Longtime NFL analyst. Check him out on
Twitter at Jason Cole sixty two thirty third team haul,
a very good voter, joins us now to talk quarterbacks
(18:56):
and more. Jake Cole, what's happening?
Speaker 2 (18:58):
I mean, that's so bad? I really do, I really do.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Well.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Look I am I am standing on the wall until
we get Dodgers. I'm just telling you that right now.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
And let me just say I I I hope to
be able to extend you that invitation to the National
League Championship Series.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
I'm already at the party. Listen, I'm at the party.
I left your name at the door. Okay, so they
should let you in. If they don't let you in,
let me know what, I just be careful. He's checking id's.
That's what he's. He's the guy. He's guy at the
door checking id's. Just be careful, Ja Cole. This guy
goes from the Costanza side of the invitation book.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
But sala checking the door something to do.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
He's pretty intimidating. I would mess around with.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
He is.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
He is, you know, Lebanon, represent baby, let's go. But yeah, no,
I like saw the door. Really that's a nice touch.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
What about what about is the former head coach of
the Jets? Do you like that?
Speaker 2 (20:09):
That's just.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
So?
Speaker 2 (20:12):
If what he made this decision without consulting Aaron Rodgers,
that would be like the most wooty thing to do, right.
I think you're making a good football decision without consulting
the quarterback. If he didn't consult the quarterback and the
quarterback signed off on this, well that on Aaron, you know,
for messing up a team again and deciding that he's
(20:34):
the most powerful person on a team, right because he's wanted.
He's been doing this now for like four years and
getting people fired, you know, and stomping all over people
until Green Bay finally got tired of it. But I
nobody knows that that's true, and he certainly has denied it. Right,
But what he is the kind of owner who would
(20:58):
think he's doing something really glorious by taking a team
that's played, to be quite honest, really well statistically, especially
with a forty year old quarterback who, by the way,
hasn't played for a year and never played with any
of these guys and didn't play in the preseason. Right,
(21:20):
So you have a rusty quarterback, a rusty old quarterback
getting back into you know, playing condition, and your two
players from being four and one. And again I get
the old parcel saying you are what your record says
you are. But on all sorts of metrics, the Jets
(21:42):
are playing really good football. They just are you trying
to work out the final sort of pegs in this
whole process, and Wood he.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Like what he panicked.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
And here's the other thing I don't like about this
as all. It's like Sala spends two years stuck with
Zach Wilson and Zach Wilson's mom and gets five games
of Aaron Rodgers, Like that's it. Like I built this
(22:16):
really great defense. It's been basically the best defense in
the league over the three years I've been head coach.
And I finally get a quarterback and you don't let
me at least see whether I can win or screw
this up on my own, Like I get five games,
like that's it. And so this is just a it's
(22:36):
a panic decision by Woody. And the other part about
it is if what he did acquiesce to what Aaron
Rodgers says, like what is a big wooss on that
account too, So like none of this really makes a
whole lot of sense to me. And I know there
are complaints about Sala and he sort of is got
these Sarah Dave wanstet qualities to him and harmon'slag. Now,
(22:59):
like get into the shakes, okay, as I mentioned one stat,
but you know, like it's there. But to at least
get a year with a quarterback and a great defense
to figure to figure out if you're a good coach
or not like you should that would seem only fair
to me.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
All the pieces are in place, obligatory wanstat great quote
from his time in Chicago.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
That's you could put that right in solid mouth and
he could probably be doing that at the door. He
could he could be standing at the door checking id's
going the piece.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
We're ready for a big night, all right.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
So we get Jets Bills J Cole, and then we
get the announcement for the Patriots that they're gonna send
Drake May out there?
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Is it time? Is this a right move? Wrong move?
Trial by fire? What do you think of this one?
Speaker 2 (23:53):
He got play? Come on, this doesn't excite me, Like
they got to put him out there. I mean, they're brutal,
they're averaging less than what four yards of play and nothing?
You know, I'm not I don't want to blame this
on Jacoby Brissette. He's just a guy, you know. He's
a good, solid backup quarterback. He's had a nice career,
(24:14):
he's going to continue to have a nice career. But
he's just a backup quarterback. You got to see what
you have. So let Drake May go out there and play,
and if he screws it up, okay, no problem. Like
you're not very good anyways, and you knew this was
a building here. Let him go see see what he
can do out there, and if he's really really awful,
(24:34):
I mean, he's just got off. If he plays three,
four or five games, okay, then set him back down
and at least he got a taste of what playing
at this speed is. I mean, because guys are you know,
generally young quarterbacks are going to suck Jayden Daniels a
side you know, strout aside Roethlisberger. There are a few
(24:56):
exceptions out there, but like you know, Manning was bad
his first year, set out an interception record, like yeah,
and that turned out all right, So let him go play.
That's how I look at it.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
NFL Insider Jason Call our guest to Jason Smithcher with
Mike Carmon live from the TIREC dot Com studios.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
All right, so, which which quarterback move did you like
the most? Today?
Speaker 1 (25:18):
The Raiders officially going to Aid O'Connell or Spencer Rattler
now going to start potentially for a little while for
the Saints because of Derek Carr's injury, which is a
bigger move.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
I'm so intrigued by Spencer Rattler because the stories about
this kid are so all over the map about what
what a jerkball he is and how selfish he is,
and you know he rehabbed it. It took him out
like two years for him to sort of rehab himself
(25:50):
and rid himself of that stink that he had around him.
And maybe it's true, maybe he's learned the hard way
and after being yeah, a jerky young quarterback when he
was moving from school to school. So I'm I'm fascinated
to see what this kid's about. So hey, no Cole,
like we've done that. Come on, I mean, like there's
(26:12):
nothing there for Aid O'Connell, Like there's there's like, there's
no Drew Brees, Like, oh, he's from Purdue. You know,
he could be the next Strew Brees. That's that's not
It's not that you know, like you're Raiders fan, Like
you screwed up and you let Panics get away. You
didn't have good intel to know that you know that
Atlanta was going to come up there and snatch Panics
(26:35):
from me. You didn't work out a deal, and so
you get to be in purgatory for another year. You
get you know, person Pierce in purgatory, and you get
to find out that you know, antoning up here liking
things on TikTok or social media is not really a
good sign of management skills.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Well, I mean there's clearly an organization on the rise.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
I don't know, but to that end as now Davis
like rising from the dead to take the team back
away from his son, that would be. That would be
We're holding a seance out in the in the Vegas desert.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Listen, we're going back to Oakland.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
We're going back. I'm sorry, we're going back. I gotta
go back to the colisee and wait for me, all right.
So staying with the with the Raiders, where's Adams end
up playing?
Speaker 2 (27:28):
All right? So the teams that, you know, the Steelers
desperately need a wide receiver, especially one who's like a
little bit.
Speaker 5 (27:35):
Mature, wants to play.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Yeah, who wants to play. He knows what it's like
to run routes out all the time. I you know,
I give Mike Tomlin a lot of credit for figuring
out Antonio Brown for all those years and and putting
up with all of his bs. But like, you can't
go back to that well a second time. You got
(27:58):
to realize, like some guys you just can't reach, and
George Pickens is a bad guy that you just can't reach.
So yeah, you got to push in and you've got
to go get DeVante Adams right now and get a
real receiver to help you out, because you should have
won on Sunday night like that was such a that
(28:18):
was such a winnable game in a division where you know, look,
you have the first eight or nine games before they
get into division. I think in the first nine games
they can't afford to blow more than two of that,
and they've lost their two. They need to be seven
and two at the turn if they're going to hold
off Baltimore, which you know, again statistically is playing the
(28:39):
best football in the entire league if you look at
yards per play, differential things that really measure whether the
team is they're going to be good long term. And
since and I was just going to get better now Cleveland, Cleveland,
Cleveland right now, and that's a mess. But Pittsburgh needs
an offensive weapon. They need something to help out the quarterback.
And Justin Field is knocked good enough. And we'll see
(29:02):
about Russell Wilson now that he's practicing again, So go
and get him. You know, obviously the Jets are going
to be interested if but if they're pushing in by
getting rid of Sala to take advantage of this great team,
then by all means they should go out and get
DeVante Adams and they should make a bid for him
because you've already you know, you're you've already told the
(29:23):
world we're all in this year. So you know, go
make the next move.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
To do that.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
And who is the other team that I was thinking,
uh could really use him?
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Bills?
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Bills could use him too. Does Belichick go and coach
the Bills?
Speaker 3 (29:44):
You see?
Speaker 1 (29:44):
You know I think Belichick call it goes and coaches
the first team that calls it in the offseason. You
don't need to give me a salary. I'll just show up,
don't even work. Money is I'll do it for free.
I just got to catch Shula, all right, I'll do
it for free.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
He wants to go, He'll coach the Jets. If the
Jets call him next season. Trust he'll coach the Jets.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
That ain't a marriage that you god man like that.
That's like a redoing the War of the Roses movie. Right, Wow,
that's that would be so ugly because the power grab
that Belichick would have, like he would own everything that
(30:29):
that what he has like a soul, his money? What
the deal with the devil that would he would have
to make to swallow his pride after what Belichick did
to him twenty five years ago. Is just staggering to
me that it's that ware to happen. But the Bills
make a lot of sense. And you know, they're really
(30:56):
good the first three weeks and now they're getting back
to the you know, they lose the flats a game
and you can see it getting to Josh Allen a
little bit in that in that lost to Houston, where
he's doing some things that are a little panicky and
he's pushing too hard. But the one thing that really
worries me about the Bills is kind of they're so
soft right now and this is just not a McDermott team.
(31:19):
Like they've got talent on defense, but they are not
a tough team. And they got to do something to
turn that around. And to me, you got to go
and get a guy like Bullisheck, because you've got a real,
real short window and will pay, I mean forula, will
(31:39):
pay whatever it takes. And you're right, You're right about this.
Belichick would probably take a pay cut to coach against
the Patriots and Craft. In fact, he probably could. You
imagine if Belichick got to break Shula's record front of Craft,
(32:02):
like if Craft ever like if Craft was, if there
was ever a threat that Craft might die next time,
you know that Belichick will resuscitate him. Get to keep
them alive long enough so that he can win that
game in front of Craft in New England.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
He's on Twitter at Jason Cole sixty two A drop
the mic moment for Jacole time now to find out
what's trending in the wide world is sports from Monzie
blanios wots What are you going for it?
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Hey guy?
Speaker 6 (32:30):
So it's a must win game for the Dodgers, as
everyone knows, and right now it's been all Dodgers against
the Padres in San Diego. Five zero is the score,
top of the fifth inning, and there was a interesting play.
I don't know if you guys saw, because you're doing
a show, so I know you're busy, but they just
got an on. This hit the single down third base.
It hit Manny Machado's glove, then it hit the umpire
(32:51):
and then he grabbed it and threw Otani out at home.
Dino at third base was trying to stop Otawni. Otani
didn't look up because he's just got, you know, wheels going.
He gets out and that was the end of the inning.
But right, you just got I hate him so much
and he's so good, he's so annoyance.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
Kill Roberts did not No, he did not, No, he
did not. Dave Roberts would be dead.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 6 (33:16):
Okay, Okay, we're gonna we'll talk about that later, guys.
The Tigers are now leading their series two to one.
After shutting out the Guardians for a second game in
a row. They won today three zero. The Yankees held
on to their lead thanks to John Carlos stan solo
shot in the eighth inning that put them on top.
Speaker 5 (33:33):
They beat the.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Royals three to two, so New York leads that series
two to one.
Speaker 6 (33:37):
And of course, the Mets Mets Mets, Mets Mets Francisco
Lindor with a grand slam. The Mets eliminated the Phillies,
punching their ticket to the NLCS. They went it four
to one. A little quick NFL news for you guys.

We're gonna send this thing to Game five as the

Speaker 3 (34:44):
It's all goodness. We're in the club. We're in the club,
and I'd love doing it.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
I'd love to send out an extended invitation to a
team to join us in this club at the appropriate moment.
It's obviously they're not ready. We were ready, so we
got in. Other teams are not. They're still waiting outside,
going come on, man, you got look some other people.
Can't just let all the hot girls in. Man, come on, God,
let some other people in. Come on, man, they.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
Walk right inf you let Screech in. You're letting screech.
Remember that from from Swingers. Screech gets in. I don't
get it. Screech gets it.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Rest in peace, screech ah. But yeah, you want to

Speaker 3 (35:26):
Yes, sir, right there, We'll be there. We'll be there.
It doesn't matter. We're gonna show up any time, any place.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Foal.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
But what's fast becoming the game with the most drama
attached to it? This weekend we got into it a
little bit, tiny bit with Jason Cole a few minutes
ago Raiders Steelers. Because you have a ton of crazy
stuff in this game, right, Davante Adams is not going
to play. We found that out today. We had reports
yesterday the Raiders wanted to make a decision on him
(35:53):
in the next twenty four to forty eight hours. They
bench Gardner Minshew for Aidan O'Connell and also for the Steelers.
Now Justin Fields looks like and it's it's and it's
ridiculous because he didn't play that badly on Sunday. But
everybody's looking for a reason for the Steelers to lose. Hey,
you know what, you let the Cowboys go all the
way down the field.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
But it's not.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Justin Field did not have a horrible game. But as
you can see with Russell Wilson now suddenly practicing, what
did I tell you? Justin Field is gonna get a
couple of weeks and if he doesn't, if he has
a couple of down weeks, Russell Wilson's gonna pull up.
And I thought on Sunday, hey, Justin Field's gonna have
a big game. He's gonna he's gonna clinch the role
the bad weather. He didn't play great. He didn't cost
(36:32):
him the game, but he didn't play unbelievably great.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
Well, that's their number one receiver.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
Actually ran routes and look like he wanted to be
there and he wasn't on what was it what did
they call it? Wasn't play play management? Yeay, play come on?
Speaker 3 (36:47):
Look Justin Field.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
This game has so much drama around it, but the
biggest thing is that it's it's like the Steelers just
can't help themselves that they want to put Russell Wilson
in this and and and Mike Tomlin wants to do it,
and the team wants to do it. And I'm saying,
what is he gonna give you? Different from Justin Fields?
What is he gonna give you? He's not gonna give
you anything. The offense isn't suddenly gonna explode. It's gonna
(37:09):
look worse than it is now because Russell Wilson is older,
and he's washed, and he hasn't played football in a
long time. What do you think is gonna happen? But
they can't, they can't help themselves and say no, let's
continue to move on with Justin Fields. No, no, no,
So if he has a bad game Sunday, it's the
Raiders and it should be a game where they play
well and they should win. If he has a bad
game Sunday, then Russell Wilson's gonna take over for the
(37:31):
next game. Because now, what did I say, magically, Russell
Wilson's gonna be healed. If Justin Fields caused a couple
of bad games. We got nothing from Russell Wilson up
until but last week. But now they lose to the Cowboys.
Right now, they've lost two in a row. Oh, Russell
Wilson's back practicing. Now he's practicing and everything. You're surprised
that they lose two games practice. I wouldn't be surprised
if he be started on Sunday when it's all said
(37:52):
and done, If all of a sudden it's surprised, here
we are and it's Look, it's built in the same
mode that Mike Tomlin's built this team forever. Try to
run the football, play good defense, and if you can
eke out twenty points, you're gonna get a win. That's
where you're at, right And we talked about it even
yesterday obliquely the Justin Fields record two and twenty eight
(38:13):
when his team, when the opponent scores twenty or more points,
so they'll make the change. The offense will be just
the same, unless all of a sudden it lights a
fire under the ass of George Pickens now and he
wants to play. The offense is terrible, right, They don't
have anybody trustworthy to throw to they're dealing with issues
with George Pickens.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
Naji Harris is just a guy, right he is?
Speaker 1 (38:34):
When it was Harris and Warren and Warren, Yeah, but
their offense is terrible and this is not a justin
fields thing. What do they really think is gonna happen?
They just they deserve if they want to see Russ
will snap. Bet you deserve what's gonna happen. But when
suddenly it's oh man, we struggled to score nine points
in this game.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
But we talked about forever. It's it's winning, ugly. Take
the w's right.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Everybody wants to be in the playoffs, but recognize that
once you get there, you're gonna get housed.
Speaker 3 (38:59):
You're not gonna score enough points.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
Telling me man if he has a down game Sunday,
and again it wasn't his fault, but it doesn't matter.
They just they can't not scratch that itch with Russell Wilson,
Are you yeah, you'll get a really bad offense. Good luck, congratulations, congratulations.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
Good guys.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
Doing a lot of great stuff in the community, doesn't
mean he should be your quarterback On Sunday. Exit out
bout a Fresca, Exit swollen Dome, Coming up next, big
moments from just a couple of minutes ago in Major
League Baseball, and the big story of the day in
the NFL.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Let's give this.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. I'm six years old
and going to my first Mets game. Oh boy, yeah, buddy, Hello,
and welcome inside the greatest night in the history of sports.
Didn't know what tonight but it is. I didn't realize
it was tonight. It's not memo, it's tonight. I mean
(00:45):
I got a sandwich, so that worked out well for me.
Uh hey, I had McDonald's for everybody coming in Donald's.
Everybody were grimaced it tonight buddy, Live from the tire
rack dot Com studios, The Jason Smith Show with my
best friend Carmen. Tire rack dot Com help you get
there an unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road has
a protection and over ten thousand recommended in sawers. Tire
(01:07):
rack dot Com is the way tire buying should be
Yankees up three two, Dodgeres, five nothing the Mats.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
I know, hey, Will Smith hit the ball.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yeah, top of the ninth inning, Yankees holding on to
a three to two lead over the Royals. They just
got out of a two on, two out jam in
the bottom of the eighth. Yankee's looking to go up
two games to one there. Meanwhile, the Dodgers were with
their backs to the wall. Maybe this is what they need.
Up five nothing now over the Padres. As they bat
in the fourth inning, a two run homer by Will
(01:37):
Smith extends that lead. Mookie Bets with a home run
in the first Suddenly, now Mookie Bets is getting hit
like every three at bats. Three every three at bats,
he's hitting a home run.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
If the fans had done their job, he'd have a
homer in three straight. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Well, you know, well, Mit Meal, party of the red scene.
Got to make sure it's better than anything Cecil b.
De Mill could have ever.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Come up with.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Gotta make sure I get that ball and he doesn't
come out with it right, Gotta make sure I'm getting his.
But either way, Bets hits a home run. Now you
got Smith and the opener theory for Dave Roberts thus
far working. Yeah, the Dodgers spent a billion dollars last
year in contracts, and it's a back to the wall.
(02:16):
Robert's job probably on the line tonight, and it's a bullpen.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Game like that.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
That's baseball. That's baseball in one sentence right there. They
spent a billion dollars. The manager is going to get
fired if they lose, most likely, and they have a
bullpen game. They're at a bullpen game and they're back
to the wall, must win game. Just started thinking about it,
you know, as we've talked about it the last few weeks,
the number of starting pitchers, what was at seventeen, The
fact that you had Urius and Trevor Bauer were supposed
(02:45):
to be part of this squad, right, that's part of
the lost money and obviously horrible circumstances and allegations around
both of them, but those were supposed to be or
two of your big starts, right, two frontline guys that
are going in addition to go go down all the
way through the the litany of pitchers that have gone
(03:07):
to the injured list never to be seen again. And
then the unfortunate news that even Clayton Kershaw couldn't rally
himself to get back into the mix for this postseason.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
So here we are in a win or go home
road game with the.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Opener a billion dollars in money, billion dollars spent, and
yeah we have we have a bunch of guys going.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
I keep braising my hand. I want to keep talking
to the trainers. Guys, do we see anything? It's just
a bunch of guys.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
I know Mike's watched a couple of games, but Jason,
if you watched any Dodger games this whole year, what
has been their strongest point all year? Having bat well, yeah,
of course, outside of Otani, it's the bullpen right well,
Dave Robert is very well season long.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
But this is actually a great strategy. I'm all for
it now, and maybe Otani will come in to close
it out. If you need to be coming the pitch
of ninth, you shut your mouth.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
What would he his entrance song? Do you Think I
Am the Goat? Which by Little John.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
I was wondering what death metal band you were bringing up, Romstunt.
For me, it would be something from well because he
was fifty to fifty, probably something from fifty one to
fifty Van Halen. Nice, you know, just guy trying to
think of fifty to fifty in a song something by
fifty seventies. And gentlemen, you know you're welcome our new closer.
It's Andy Haygar.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
So again we'll have more on these games coming up again.
Ninth in in Yankees trying to hold on, Dodgers up
five nothing, going to the bottom of the third.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Now the Mets, we gave it five minutes, all right,
go ahead, you know.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Just so you know, in a forty two minute car ride,
you can listen to Back in the New York Groove
thirteen times in a forty.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Minutes, Yeah, including the trail off for years.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
When when it gets to the end and it goes back,
like if you're listening to it off, it doesn't have
a full trail. Yeah, I know, trick it's three on nine, Okay,
three on nine and then you go back. You can
listen to it thirteen times in a forty two minute ride,
how about that?
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Yeah? You know I started doing like a few years
ago when when.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
When my daughter was younger, we would go to Disneyland
a lot and I would go and say, you know,
you can listen to the Nigel song from Rio thirteen
times in thirty nine minutes. I didn't know that, you know,
you could listen to it that many times. Nigel in
the back of the New York Group thirteen times in
a forty two minute drive. Not a Disney property. Even
that's okay. You could mix things while you're in the car.
And I'm just yelling and screaming the entire time. I
(05:28):
don't know what to say. I mean, just think about
this for a second. The three biggest home runs in
the history of the franchise. We're all hit in the
last nine games, like Agbayanni had a big home run
in the thirteenth inning in two things. And this is
kind of what this run reminds me of. This Mets
now in twenty twenty reminds me of what it wasn't
in two thousand and Ventura with the Grand Slam that
(05:49):
turned out not to be a Grand Slam.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
It was a single.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
But I mean, you're talking about three biggest home runs,
Lindor's home run to beat the Braves, Alonzo's three run
homer off the Brewers, that it is gonna look they
went back at in the history of baseball, and talk
about one of the biggest home runs ever hit. And
now tonight Lindor's grand slam in the sixth inning to
give the Mets the four to one lead and that's it.
Lights out games over see you in the NLCS. I
was chuckling at the Lindor home run today, just how
(06:14):
bad a pitch that was because they'd been so erratic. Yeah, right,
that inning was an absolute disaster from Biller to post
the entire series for the Phillies bullpen, the best bullpen
in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Oops, it was a disaster.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Here's pitching the dirt, pitching the dirt all the way
to the backstop and going up like you were playing
ski ball. I mean, all of this stuff. And then
here's a two to one count and just straight straight ball.
Fat ball. Yeah I even said it as it wasn't crossing. Wow,
that was a fat ball. And Eleanor is sitting at
(06:50):
working on some homeworks, just what's a fat ball? I've
heard of a fastball. I'm like, here, watch this pook,
this fat flastball that doesn't.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
It's got no movement. It is right over the middle
of the plane, you know.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
And there's a difference and why do you see pitches
like that, Certain things like there's so much to get
to this home run by Lindor's just by the way,
they were only nine with runners and scoring physicians, because
that's the other thing. Credit that was just in the
first two innings. But you got to give credit to
the Mets staff. Kintana, former White, don't waste your time
thinking anybody but Grimace. You man, Grimace outside, No, you're
(07:25):
outside of Grimace had a bete thing to do it, grimacide.
We're at this one listen in Major League Baseball. I
think now we're seeing best years Grimace than Otani, then Lindor.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
WHOA, let's just straight this respect, dude. It's Grimace you
doing is always one? Yeah, no, he's great, but he's
not Grimace. He's the one. He's not great.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
People aren't having pilgrimages to see to take pictures in
front of the purple seat they painted for him a
city field like.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Grimace hit fifty to fifty.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
They did say, like ninety of all uh Japanese tourists
that came to the States showed up in Dodger Stadium
for a four millions because they all land keep going
and they all say, no, come here to see Grimmace.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
But I thought that's in New York. No, no, we
have Grimace here.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Oh okay, why do we not have Grimmace Grimas Grimmas,
gris Grima City Field.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
You see, you see in this and in the pies.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
The bullpen always becomes front and center in the playoffs
because bullpen is much more active at this time than
any other time in the season, right because you start
teams say, hey, if I get four innings out of
our starting pitcher. Right when you get to six innings,
a guy could be cruising regular seasons. Yeah, let the
guy go. Save our bullpen for a day. Oh six inning,
you might need to come out, dude, I'm mowing them down.
I'm throwing ninety eight. I just sawed off bats. Now,
(08:41):
I thrown a lot of pitches. Time to come out
of the game. You get to six innings, that's a lot.
There is so much emphasis on the bullpen and watching
the guys come in from the bullpen, and.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
This is where you know the closers is a different thing.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
We had the conversation about closers last night that it
wasn't so much about hey, they're not ready for the
moment as much as it is. Do they trust their stuff?
Do they try to get too cute? It's the playoffs.
They overthink things, and this is how you see big
closers get beat because they just think too much. I
want to do this this, And suddenly it's three and
one and you're giving up a home run to a loonzo,
giving up a hole Rundlin door, giving up a home
(09:15):
run to somebody. You're giving a big home run in
the ninth inning. You think too much because you see
the closers all fall behind and they have to come
back with a fat pitch. Right for the middle relievers
that come in, it's different. It's when you fall behind
an account. I can always tell what reliever is feeling
it and what reliever is not, because when you fall
behind two and one, like I still saw a range
of Suarez today. He was awful, right, he was all over,
(09:38):
but still at three and one, He's throwing that curve
that is landing in the dirt and the Mets can't
lay off, and I'm like, how do you not?
Speaker 3 (09:44):
How do you not lift?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
That pitch is starting out above your head and it's
landing at your shoe tops and the Mets can't lay
off it. Yeah, that's a gusty, right, But that's a
guy that is confident that, no matter what was going on,
I'm back.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
I think I got a two on nobody out.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I'm still throwing this curve and you're not going to
touch it, right, And eyes come in from the bullpen
and you can see, Hey, when they're behind in the count,
are they gonna still trust their stuff and throw their
pitches or are they gonna say, you know what, I
can't walk them. I gotta make it. I'm gonna make
them hit it, and I'm gonna I gotta make sure
we get this over the plate. And it's a ninety
eight mile an hour fastball right down the middle, and
the best pitchure, best hitters in baseball are gonna turn
(10:18):
on it. Like That's what I see when and the
Phillies the entire series, I watched them come in. None
of them had confidence, none of them were ready. They
all fell behind the Mets hitters. This is the best bullpen.
Every pitchure the Phillies were throwing out there, you would say,
here's an all Star, right, here's Zach Wheel or Allstar Suarez,
all Star, here's Matt Strump All Star.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
None of them were ready. They all fell behind. None
of them.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Trusted their stuff. They threw fat pitches over the plate.
Marte single yesterday to make it a four to nothing
game was a pitch you should never been thrown. You're
way ahead in the count and you throw a fat
one right over the plate. Q Susan Waldman. I saw
that the entire series from the Phillies, and here you
come in. You're two and one behind a Lindoor with
the bases loaded. Hey, I can't walk him. Like he's
had a couple of bad swings in the game today,
(10:58):
he had some really bad swings, a tough time with Suarez,
and you throw that ninety eight men, he's just gonna
turn and crush it.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
And he just routed first.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Base like eh, I just know, it's like, you know whatever,
It's like a preseason on run like Sanders. I'm just
I'm just hitting it, which you have to respect.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
That's it. I mean, that's Lindor.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
As soon as he hit it, I just yelled, he
got it, he got it, he got I mean, I
don't know, I have.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Nothing left, man.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
I need these three days off before the NLCS because
I mean from Lindora's home run against the Braves and
Alonso and and and the drama with the Phillies.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
I got no, I don't know how they're playing.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I have none, But that's that's the bigger thing, is right,
is what we've seen is the big inning from your
squad has been the saving grace. They're not bleed to
run here or there. No, no, no, it's big innings,
big hits and big flies with your guy Lindor today,
because otherwise you had opportunities, not as many as the
Phillies did early, but you had opportunities and not a
(11:54):
whole lot.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
And then that inning just unraveled.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
It was a that's a master's class of how to
really screw up a game really fast, trying to get
too cute, dancing around the edges. Rial Muta should put
in for hazard pay the amount of times he had
to do splay it splaying out, trying to block pitches
in the dirt and rolling through. But yeah, just an
an impressive at bat from Lindor. Waited on it and
(12:20):
got the fattest pitch you're ever gonna see. I really
just hammered it and it was gone, like as soon
as he as soon as hit it, you knew, like
that's it, he got it.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
He got radio.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Yeah, the outfielders knew. And again I want and as
soon as Lindor swung I said he got it, he
got it. I knew like Alonzo. I could tell because
he yelled. Lindor was the same reaction when he hit
the home run against the Braves, got it. The guy
just loves playing baseball. He gets a hit like that,
he rounds the bases. He's not somebody that's for showing it.
He's not Jesse Winker who would hit the home run
and run by the dugout and go blank you, blank
(12:51):
you blank you.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
I mean, I don't know what to say about that.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
I kind of going and see. I like both ends
of the spectrum. I don't like the guy that's kind
of half ass, right. I either want to full on
Hotis Machado, dance on you poor the Lindor. I'm just
gonna round the bases and do my Barry Sanders give
the ball back to the official. I when when he
hit that, and I screamed and I said, that's it,
that's it, it's over, and then I'm dating.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Don't bring Diaz in. Let Peterson finish the games.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
In and he walks the first two, and I say,
You've got to be kidding me, man, And all I'm
thinking of is ty Shirt's gonna play that Diaz open
all night. He's gonna give up the lead and we're
gonna lose, and Tyser's gonna play that bleeping edwin Diaz
Narco open every single hour tonight in the show. And
then he calmed down and got the next three Out's
pretty easy. But I'm like, come on, man, I'm like, no,
(13:41):
let Peterson finish. He's he's a starter, he can pitch.
He's fine.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
No, no, no, no, We're gonna bring in Diaz. Could
never be easy. It's a good thing we got that
open with Peterson in. There can never be sweating dude.
That's the thing with closers, man.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Since twenty twenty, I've been sweating das one unbelievable year.
Everything else is you deserve it. It is absolutely you
need you need it. I just I deserve I deserve this.
I deserve this. Nlcyes, are you kidding? Oh my goodness,
Oh my goodness. Meanwhile, you still have Aaron Rodgers, so
there's a balance. No time I have no time for
those Shenanigans times. Right now, I get so many people

another night we're talking about the Jets.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
I'm like, I got no time for those clowns. I
got the n l Show. You show the tweets that
I tell you about, they exist. I got no I
got no time for those clowns. I got the NLCS
coming up. Man, come on, I got good stuff happening.

Here's what's going on right now. Ninth inning has just completed.
The Yankees beat the Royals three to two. I'm watching
John Paul Morosi interviewed gian Carlos stanton So in the
last couple of minutes, stant who had the big home
run in the eighth inning to give them the three
to two lead. The Yankees are now up three games
to two. Meanwhile, the Dodgers continue to lead the Padres
(15:04):
five nothing, two outs bottom of the third inning. Fernando
Tatis Junior has just doubled to the wall in center,
but it is still a five nothing lead for the Dodgers,
and it looks like this is gonna be the third out,
flyout to left. Dodgers. Go in Michael Kopek in the
game in the third inning. Time about that for the Dodgers.
Another white now good, so five nothing lead for the Dodgers.
(15:26):
Shoho Tani due to lead the fourth inning, off for
the Dodgers. Let's go where we're going, see if he

Dodgers lead.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
There is five nothing in the fourth inning, Yankees finishing
touches on a three to two win over the Royals.
Congratulations to the second best team in New York keeping
their season alive one more game. It really is really
great by the Yankees to seat they're very, very happy
to see.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Succeed in proceede.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Walt Breed's a little easier tonight, very happy ither hard
fought win. We're still uh, Bobby wits bat is on
the side of the milk carton. Anything is for my dad,
though he is, he's not the happiest that it was
Stanton hitting the home run. Like Judges got Judge and
he just can't stand. And Stanton is like Stan stance,
like he love Judges, this guy. I'm like, Dad, it
(17:40):
doesn't matter. Yeah, but Stan's been so bad.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Yeah, but he hit a home rock. He's in the lineup. Okay,
he's in the lineup.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
It's like, but the right guys aren't hitting the rat
I'm like, you think, I don't care. Tom Brady could
bat for the Mets in the eighth inning and if
he gets a single over drawing an infield to win
the game, yay, I don't care.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Go back to those A Rod Yankees.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
How many people hated a Rod until they didn't until
all of a sudden it's like, hey, wait, what of us?
Speaker 3 (18:08):
And they saw how his teammates reacted and everything go.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
But it's the same thing with Stanton, Like he's always
at arms distance with all of this, and I get it,
he's missed a ton of time. And Judge is the face,
second face of the game, all that stuff, But you
got a contribution to win a playoff game.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
Be happy.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
No, man, your bullpen held us. Not the right guy now,
You're not the right guy. You need the right guy.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Joining us now in the hot line. Man who is
probably rooting for Dodgers Mets as much as I am.
It's longtime Dodger fan. And look, as long as he's
been a fan of the Dodgers, they have been a
very good team. Longtime NFL analyst. Check him out on
Twitter at Jason Cole sixty two thirty third team haul,
a very good voter, joins us now to talk quarterbacks
(18:56):
and more. Jake Cole, what's happening?
Speaker 2 (18:58):
I mean, that's so bad? I really do, I really do.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Well.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Look I am I am standing on the wall until
we get Dodgers. I'm just telling you that right now.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
And let me just say I I I hope to
be able to extend you that invitation to the National
League Championship Series.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
I'm already at the party. Listen, I'm at the party.
I left your name at the door. Okay, so they
should let you in. If they don't let you in,
let me know what, I just be careful. He's checking id's.
That's what he's. He's the guy. He's guy at the
door checking id's. Just be careful, Ja Cole. This guy
goes from the Costanza side of the invitation book.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
But sala checking the door something to do.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
He's pretty intimidating. I would mess around with.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
He is.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
He is, you know, Lebanon, represent baby, let's go. But yeah, no,
I like saw the door. Really that's a nice touch.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
What about what about is the former head coach of
the Jets? Do you like that?
Speaker 2 (20:09):
That's just.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
So?
Speaker 2 (20:12):
If what he made this decision without consulting Aaron Rodgers,
that would be like the most wooty thing to do, right.
I think you're making a good football decision without consulting
the quarterback. If he didn't consult the quarterback and the
quarterback signed off on this, well that on Aaron, you know,
for messing up a team again and deciding that he's
(20:34):
the most powerful person on a team, right because he's wanted.
He's been doing this now for like four years and
getting people fired, you know, and stomping all over people
until Green Bay finally got tired of it. But I
nobody knows that that's true, and he certainly has denied it. Right,
But what he is the kind of owner who would
(20:58):
think he's doing something really glorious by taking a team
that's played, to be quite honest, really well statistically, especially
with a forty year old quarterback who, by the way,
hasn't played for a year and never played with any
of these guys and didn't play in the preseason. Right,
(21:20):
So you have a rusty quarterback, a rusty old quarterback
getting back into you know, playing condition, and your two
players from being four and one. And again I get
the old parcel saying you are what your record says
you are. But on all sorts of metrics, the Jets
(21:42):
are playing really good football. They just are you trying
to work out the final sort of pegs in this
whole process, and Wood he.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Like what he panicked.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
And here's the other thing I don't like about this
as all. It's like Sala spends two years stuck with
Zach Wilson and Zach Wilson's mom and gets five games
of Aaron Rodgers, Like that's it. Like I built this
(22:16):
really great defense. It's been basically the best defense in
the league over the three years I've been head coach.
And I finally get a quarterback and you don't let
me at least see whether I can win or screw
this up on my own, Like I get five games,
like that's it. And so this is just a it's
(22:36):
a panic decision by Woody. And the other part about
it is if what he did acquiesce to what Aaron
Rodgers says, like what is a big wooss on that
account too, So like none of this really makes a
whole lot of sense to me. And I know there
are complaints about Sala and he sort of is got
these Sarah Dave wanstet qualities to him and harmon'slag. Now,
(22:59):
like get into the shakes, okay, as I mentioned one stat,
but you know, like it's there. But to at least
get a year with a quarterback and a great defense
to figure to figure out if you're a good coach
or not like you should that would seem only fair
to me.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
All the pieces are in place, obligatory wanstat great quote
from his time in Chicago.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
That's you could put that right in solid mouth and
he could probably be doing that at the door. He
could he could be standing at the door checking id's
going the piece.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
We're ready for a big night, all right.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
So we get Jets Bills J Cole, and then we
get the announcement for the Patriots that they're gonna send
Drake May out there?
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Is it time? Is this a right move? Wrong move?
Trial by fire? What do you think of this one?
Speaker 2 (23:53):
He got play? Come on, this doesn't excite me, Like
they got to put him out there. I mean, they're brutal,
they're averaging less than what four yards of play and nothing?
You know, I'm not I don't want to blame this
on Jacoby Brissette. He's just a guy, you know. He's
a good, solid backup quarterback. He's had a nice career,
(24:14):
he's going to continue to have a nice career. But
he's just a backup quarterback. You got to see what
you have. So let Drake May go out there and play,
and if he screws it up, okay, no problem. Like
you're not very good anyways, and you knew this was
a building here. Let him go see see what he
can do out there, and if he's really really awful,
(24:34):
I mean, he's just got off. If he plays three,
four or five games, okay, then set him back down
and at least he got a taste of what playing
at this speed is. I mean, because guys are you know,
generally young quarterbacks are going to suck Jayden Daniels a
side you know, strout aside Roethlisberger. There are a few
(24:56):
exceptions out there, but like you know, Manning was bad
his first year, set out an interception record, like yeah,
and that turned out all right, So let him go play.
That's how I look at it.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
NFL Insider Jason Call our guest to Jason Smithcher with
Mike Carmon live from the TIREC dot Com studios.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
All right, so, which which quarterback move did you like
the most? Today?
Speaker 1 (25:18):
The Raiders officially going to Aid O'Connell or Spencer Rattler
now going to start potentially for a little while for
the Saints because of Derek Carr's injury, which is a
bigger move.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
I'm so intrigued by Spencer Rattler because the stories about
this kid are so all over the map about what
what a jerkball he is and how selfish he is,
and you know he rehabbed it. It took him out
like two years for him to sort of rehab himself
(25:50):
and rid himself of that stink that he had around him.
And maybe it's true, maybe he's learned the hard way
and after being yeah, a jerky young quarterback when he
was moving from school to school. So I'm I'm fascinated
to see what this kid's about. So hey, no Cole,
like we've done that. Come on, I mean, like there's
(26:12):
nothing there for Aid O'Connell, Like there's there's like, there's
no Drew Brees, Like, oh, he's from Purdue. You know,
he could be the next Strew Brees. That's that's not
It's not that you know, like you're Raiders fan, Like
you screwed up and you let Panics get away. You
didn't have good intel to know that you know that
Atlanta was going to come up there and snatch Panics
(26:35):
from me. You didn't work out a deal, and so
you get to be in purgatory for another year. You
get you know, person Pierce in purgatory, and you get
to find out that you know, antoning up here liking
things on TikTok or social media is not really a
good sign of management skills.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Well, I mean there's clearly an organization on the rise.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
I don't know, but to that end as now Davis
like rising from the dead to take the team back
away from his son, that would be. That would be
We're holding a seance out in the in the Vegas desert.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Listen, we're going back to Oakland.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
We're going back. I'm sorry, we're going back. I gotta
go back to the colisee and wait for me, all right.
So staying with the with the Raiders, where's Adams end
up playing?
Speaker 2 (27:28):
All right? So the teams that, you know, the Steelers
desperately need a wide receiver, especially one who's like a
little bit.
Speaker 5 (27:35):
Mature, wants to play.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Yeah, who wants to play. He knows what it's like
to run routes out all the time. I you know,
I give Mike Tomlin a lot of credit for figuring
out Antonio Brown for all those years and and putting
up with all of his bs. But like, you can't
go back to that well a second time. You got
(27:58):
to realize, like some guys you just can't reach, and
George Pickens is a bad guy that you just can't reach.
So yeah, you got to push in and you've got
to go get DeVante Adams right now and get a
real receiver to help you out, because you should have
won on Sunday night like that was such a that
(28:18):
was such a winnable game in a division where you know, look,
you have the first eight or nine games before they
get into division. I think in the first nine games
they can't afford to blow more than two of that,
and they've lost their two. They need to be seven
and two at the turn if they're going to hold
off Baltimore, which you know, again statistically is playing the
(28:39):
best football in the entire league if you look at
yards per play, differential things that really measure whether the
team is they're going to be good long term. And
since and I was just going to get better now Cleveland, Cleveland,
Cleveland right now, and that's a mess. But Pittsburgh needs
an offensive weapon. They need something to help out the quarterback.
And Justin Field is knocked good enough. And we'll see
(29:02):
about Russell Wilson now that he's practicing again, So go
and get him. You know, obviously the Jets are going
to be interested if but if they're pushing in by
getting rid of Sala to take advantage of this great team,
then by all means they should go out and get
DeVante Adams and they should make a bid for him
because you've already you know, you're you've already told the
(29:23):
world we're all in this year. So you know, go
make the next move.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
To do that.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
And who is the other team that I was thinking,
uh could really use him?
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Bills?
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Bills could use him too. Does Belichick go and coach
the Bills?
Speaker 3 (29:44):
You see?
Speaker 1 (29:44):
You know I think Belichick call it goes and coaches
the first team that calls it in the offseason. You
don't need to give me a salary. I'll just show up,
don't even work. Money is I'll do it for free.
I just got to catch Shula, all right, I'll do
it for free.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
He wants to go, He'll coach the Jets. If the
Jets call him next season. Trust he'll coach the Jets.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
That ain't a marriage that you god man like that.
That's like a redoing the War of the Roses movie. Right, Wow,
that's that would be so ugly because the power grab
that Belichick would have, like he would own everything that
(30:29):
that what he has like a soul, his money? What
the deal with the devil that would he would have
to make to swallow his pride after what Belichick did
to him twenty five years ago. Is just staggering to
me that it's that ware to happen. But the Bills
make a lot of sense. And you know, they're really
(30:56):
good the first three weeks and now they're getting back
to the you know, they lose the flats a game
and you can see it getting to Josh Allen a
little bit in that in that lost to Houston, where
he's doing some things that are a little panicky and
he's pushing too hard. But the one thing that really
worries me about the Bills is kind of they're so
soft right now and this is just not a McDermott team.
(31:19):
Like they've got talent on defense, but they are not
a tough team. And they got to do something to
turn that around. And to me, you got to go
and get a guy like Bullisheck, because you've got a real,
real short window and will pay, I mean forula, will
(31:39):
pay whatever it takes. And you're right, You're right about this.
Belichick would probably take a pay cut to coach against
the Patriots and Craft. In fact, he probably could. You
imagine if Belichick got to break Shula's record front of Craft,
(32:02):
like if Craft ever like if Craft was, if there
was ever a threat that Craft might die next time,
you know that Belichick will resuscitate him. Get to keep
them alive long enough so that he can win that
game in front of Craft in New England.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
He's on Twitter at Jason Cole sixty two A drop
the mic moment for Jacole time now to find out
what's trending in the wide world is sports from Monzie
blanios wots What are you going for it?
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Hey guy?
Speaker 6 (32:30):
So it's a must win game for the Dodgers, as
everyone knows, and right now it's been all Dodgers against
the Padres in San Diego. Five zero is the score,
top of the fifth inning, and there was a interesting play.
I don't know if you guys saw, because you're doing
a show, so I know you're busy, but they just
got an on. This hit the single down third base.
It hit Manny Machado's glove, then it hit the umpire
(32:51):
and then he grabbed it and threw Otani out at home.
Dino at third base was trying to stop Otawni. Otani
didn't look up because he's just got, you know, wheels going.
He gets out and that was the end of the inning.
But right, you just got I hate him so much
and he's so good, he's so annoyance.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
Kill Roberts did not No, he did not, No, he
did not. Dave Roberts would be dead.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 6 (33:16):
Okay, Okay, we're gonna we'll talk about that later, guys.
The Tigers are now leading their series two to one.
After shutting out the Guardians for a second game in
a row. They won today three zero. The Yankees held
on to their lead thanks to John Carlos stan solo
shot in the eighth inning that put them on top.
Speaker 5 (33:33):
They beat the.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Royals three to two, so New York leads that series
two to one.
Speaker 6 (33:37):

punching their ticket to the NLCS. They went it four

Speaker 3 (34:44):
It's all goodness. We're in the club. We're in the club,
and I'd love doing it.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
I'd love to send out an extended invitation to a
team to join us in this club at the appropriate moment.
It's obviously they're not ready. We were ready, so we
got in. Other teams are not. They're still waiting outside,
going come on, man, you got look some other people.
Can't just let all the hot girls in. Man, come on, God,

Speaker 1 (35:19):

Speaker 3 (35:26):
Yes, sir, right there, We'll be there. We'll be there.
It doesn't matter. We're gonna show up any time, any place.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Foal.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
But what's fast becoming the game with the most drama
attached to it? This weekend we got into it a
little bit, tiny bit with Jason Cole a few minutes
ago Raiders Steelers. Because you have a ton of crazy
stuff in this game, right, Davante Adams is not going
to play. We found that out today. We had reports
yesterday the Raiders wanted to make a decision on him
(35:53):
in the next twenty four to forty eight hours. They
bench Gardner Minshew for Aidan O'Connell and also for the Steelers.
Now Justin Fields looks like and it's it's and it's
ridiculous because he didn't play that badly on Sunday. But
everybody's looking for a reason for the Steelers to lose. Hey,
you know what, you let the Cowboys go all the
way down the field.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
But it's not.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Justin Field did not have a horrible game. But as
you can see with Russell Wilson now suddenly practicing, what
did I tell you? Justin Field is gonna get a
couple of weeks and if he doesn't, if he has
a couple of down weeks, Russell Wilson's gonna pull up.
And I thought on Sunday, hey, Justin Field's gonna have
a big game. He's gonna he's gonna clinch the role
the bad weather. He didn't play great. He didn't cost
(36:32):
him the game, but he didn't play unbelievably great.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
Well, that's their number one receiver.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
Actually ran routes and look like he wanted to be
there and he wasn't on what was it what did
they call it? Wasn't play play management? Yeay, play come on?
Speaker 3 (36:47):
Look Justin Field.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
This game has so much drama around it, but the
biggest thing is that it's it's like the Steelers just
can't help themselves that they want to put Russell Wilson
in this and and and Mike Tomlin wants to do it,
and the team wants to do it. And I'm saying,
what is he gonna give you? Different from Justin Fields?
What is he gonna give you? He's not gonna give
you anything. The offense isn't suddenly gonna explode. It's gonna
(37:09):
look worse than it is now because Russell Wilson is older,
and he's washed, and he hasn't played football in a
long time. What do you think is gonna happen? But
they can't, they can't help themselves and say no, let's
continue to move on with Justin Fields. No, no, no,
So if he has a bad game Sunday, it's the
Raiders and it should be a game where they play
well and they should win. If he has a bad
game Sunday, then Russell Wilson's gonna take over for the
(37:31):
next game. Because now, what did I say, magically, Russell
Wilson's gonna be healed. If Justin Fields caused a couple
of bad games. We got nothing from Russell Wilson up
until but last week. But now they lose to the Cowboys.
Right now, they've lost two in a row. Oh, Russell
Wilson's back practicing. Now he's practicing and everything. You're surprised
that they lose two games practice. I wouldn't be surprised
if he be started on Sunday when it's all said
(37:52):
and done, If all of a sudden it's surprised, here
we are and it's Look, it's built in the same
mode that Mike Tomlin's built this team forever. Try to
run the football, play good defense, and if you can
eke out twenty points, you're gonna get a win. That's
where you're at, right And we talked about it even
yesterday obliquely the Justin Fields record two and twenty eight
(38:13):
when his team, when the opponent scores twenty or more points,
so they'll make the change. The offense will be just
the same, unless all of a sudden it lights a
fire under the ass of George Pickens now and he
wants to play. The offense is terrible, right, They don't
have anybody trustworthy to throw to they're dealing with issues
with George Pickens.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
Naji Harris is just a guy, right he is?
Speaker 1 (38:34):
When it was Harris and Warren and Warren, Yeah, but
their offense is terrible and this is not a justin
fields thing. What do they really think is gonna happen?
They just they deserve if they want to see Russ
will snap. Bet you deserve what's gonna happen. But when
suddenly it's oh man, we struggled to score nine points
in this game.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
But we talked about forever. It's it's winning, ugly. Take
the w's right.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Everybody wants to be in the playoffs, but recognize that
once you get there, you're gonna get housed.
Speaker 3 (38:59):
You're not gonna score enough points.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
Telling me man if he has a down game Sunday,
and again it wasn't his fault, but it doesn't matter.
They just they can't not scratch that itch with Russell Wilson,
Are you yeah, you'll get a really bad offense. Good luck, congratulations, congratulations.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
Good guys.
Speaker 1 (39:15):

mean he should be your quarterback On Sunday. Exit out
