Speaker 1 (00:29):
Hello, Welcome inside final hour tonight the Jason Smith Show
with my best friend Mike Harmon, live from the Tirack
dot Com studios tyrack dot com.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
I'll hope you get there.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
An unmapped selection, fast free shipping, free road hazard protection,
over ten thousand recommended installers. Tyrack dot com is the
way tire buying should be. Well, we'll have that big
hot take coming off of Monday Night Football coming up
in a couple of minutes. But the Dodgers are one
day away, one game away from winning the World Series.
(01:02):
They have taken a three games to non lead over
the Yankees by winning tonight four to two, a game
that was never really close. Alex Vradugo hits a home
run in the bottom of the ninth inning off of
White Sox reliever Michael Kopet sorry former White sauce.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Kopek finished the job.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
It doesn't matter, sorry for form or size to make
it look close, But the Dodgers dominated all night, and
one thought about the Dodgers before there's an actual silver
lining for the Yankees is that you can break things
down many different ways, right, look at the different angles
on things We've talked throughout the show tonight about the
first at bat of the game, Clark Schmidt not challenging
(01:36):
Otani when you have no idea if the guy can
even swing the bat, and the first inning went sideways
for them because of it. Walker Buehler attacked the Yankee
lineup in the first inning two different ways to set
the tone. The Dodgers said it. The Yankees had a
chance to at home, they didn't do it. We talked
about the Dodgers line up, the Dodgers, but all these things.
But when you look at Walker Buehler, just think about
him for a minute. He came back from injury and
(01:58):
he was terrible. Right, he'd be the first guy to
tell you he was terrible all season long.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Right.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
He was bad against the Padres in the in the
in the first round of the playoffs, he gave up
six runs and five innings and the Dodgers loss. You thought, wow,
maybe the Dodgers are going to lose this series.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Well he closed out the starts well, right because he
had that horrible inning.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Yes, yes, but still but give it all count Yeah,
it all counts the same.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
But there was just like, yeah, at least he was
able to extend, right, It wasn't. He got chased and
that was the ending. But at that point it was
take up some innings from the bullpen. We we're losing early,
but make sure I don't have to. I can't keep
going to the bullpen.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
He was terrible, right, And now, what was the biggest
thing I remember back in the nlcsco Walker Bueller and
game looking for In Game three, you were game, let's
see what you got and walker Bueller four innings but
for really good innings and the Dodgers win that game.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
And then.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
In the here tonight, here's the biggest game of the
season for the Yankees and walker Bule they could get
back in it, and the Dodgers have their worst starter
going and walker Bueller five shutout innings. So the last
two games Walker Buehler has pitched. He's pitched the equivalent
of a complete game and hasn't given up a run.
Sometimes it's just your year, right, Well, all the different
(03:16):
things for the Dodgers and all that, but sometimes when
you get that kind of performance from a from someone who, hey,
if he keeps us in a game, we're happy. But
instead he's throwing zeros against the against the second best
team in the National League and the best team in
the American League. Sometimes you just go, you know what,
we're living, right, it is just our year, because that's
kind of what I've been thinking. For the Dodgers of
(03:37):
last few nits. They've made the plays the Yankees if
not all these did. Yes, they've made their own luck.
And Freddie Freeman hits a home run every game. But
when you get something like that, you go sometimes sometimes
it's just your year. Like, who would have ever thought
that's how Walker Bueller suddenly is going to turn things
around in the NLCS and in the World Series and
he's done it.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Yeah, it's think curiosity of what has been a really
weird secene and obviously it's not done yet. So we'll
spare the video and audio Yearbook of the Dodgers. But
you think back of how this began with you know,
the epay and show hey stuff, through all the injuries
to the pitching staff and bullpen games becoming a norm
(04:17):
for the Dodgers, So you know, talk about rarefied air
in terms of learning and trial by fire of this
is a well rehearsed system of reliever conga lines that
they've done all year long.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
And for Walker.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Bueller a little bit, you know, owing to his postgame
presser and kind of talking about learning to pitch. And
we've heard this from other pitchers through the years. Right
where I'm a thrower and then either an injury or
a setback or just age where you don't have the
ninety seven mile an hour heater at your disposal all
the time that you have to learn how to pitch.
(04:52):
And for Walker Buehler the last couple of times out,
it's been fantastic.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Getting a lot of help.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Right if you're gonna be first ball swinging, I'm feeling
pretty good about my chances.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Oh you're not getting the best.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Off me, right, Whereas you see some of these other
the Dodger hitters like all right, we're gonna take two pitches,
we're gonna make you come to us, and you see
what that had what happened to Schmid right the opening walk,
dancing around Otani and then the home run. But for
Walker Buehler, he's shown up in prime time before, and
you know, past performance is not indicative of future returns,
(05:25):
as you see so often if you're watching infomercials late
at night, but it's the reality in a big game,
this guy just settles in and finds his zone.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
And we're watching the Yankee hitters off balance and pressing
when they do have an opportunity right making the mistakes
that they did in earlier rounds.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
The margin yr is gone.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
So the Stanton decision to to run him I would
have if I'm a Yankee fan sitting going all right,
Bueller's finally on the ropes. We're gonna have two runners
on now there's two outs, but we got him on
the rope, so let's see what kind of pitch he's
gonna make in this situation. And then he didn't have
to because he was back out for the fifth and eight.
(06:08):
You know, a frame that was wide open to him
once again, and he finished the job and leaves after five.
And you know once the bullpen comes back in that
that that's the end. Dave Roberts's advantage Dodgers. Now you
say that, and here's the bright side for the Yankees.
Right side you're going to for the Yankees? I, mister
bright No, because it's really hard to find a bright
(06:29):
side for the Yankees.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
Do you think Aaron Judge is gonna find his bat?
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Uh? No, he's still gonna back. Is he gonna steal
one from soda?
Speaker 1 (06:34):
No, he's gonna use a hologram of a bat, which
is what he's been using so far in the World Series.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
That's why he can't make.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Contact, because it's just the holo we could use't hit
the ball.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Hey, come on, man, Thorn's hammer was like fifteen years ago.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
It's storm breaker dude, all right, he comes the time
Aaron Judge went yard fifteen years ago.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
You use it? You used the little one?
Speaker 6 (06:54):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Wait?
Speaker 3 (06:56):
That gets dinkle genes.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
The Dodgers are looking for the clincher tomorrow, and yes,
we've seen clincher's happen all the time teams get up threes.
If the Dodgers are gonna be feeling it, bullpen game
for them tomorrow. But let me a couple of things
for the Yankees that could go in their favor. Number one,
I would say it's probably fifty to fifty o Tani
even plays tomorrow because he did not swing the bat
(07:18):
well tonight.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
And you saw the Yankees were.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Still afraid of him even when they didn't know he
could swing the bat, because they walk him on four
pitches to start the game, which was, dude, you gotta
go after him and see if he can swing the bat. No, no, no,
I'm still afraid of Otani. I wonder because he looked
bad swinging the bat. He went his last at bat,
he walked off the field, did not look great. You
wonder if they're gonna say, hey, show Hey's gonna sit.
But then again, do you want show how Tani sitting
(07:42):
in a game that you could win the World Series.
But for tomorrow, yes, the Dodger are sniffing it. But
it's a bullpen game.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
And we look.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Back and take all the Dodgers' bullpen game. Yeah, they
had a great bullpen game Game four against the Padres. Right,
it was great, and that's where suddenly the legend of
Dodger bullpen was But when's the last time the Dodgers
have lost a game? When the last two times when
they said, here's a bullpen game, right, the bullpen game.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Gave you those games.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
In Game two against the Mets and the bullpen game
in Game five against the Mets, because this is how
they did it. And Dave Roberts, when he goes to
a bullpen game, if the other team gets out early,
he doesn't expend the rest of his team's energy and
bullpen trying to get back in it.
Speaker 7 (08:28):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
I know there was the criticism of all he gave
those games against Mett. No, what he saw was, hey,
we're not going to win these games. The Mets are
up six nothing early, they're up five to nothing early.
We're not going to bring in our high leverage guys
and go crazy in a game like this because we
have the bullpen game going. We're going to finish out
with these guys, give our high leverage guys a rest,
and be back at it. We have three chances now
(08:50):
to win one game, and we have our best starter,
our second best starter, and a starter that's been phenomenal
for us the last couple of games. So tomorrow. The
last two times the Dodgers going to bullpen game, the
Mets knock the crap out of the Dodgers right, and
the Yankees lineup at some point they're gonna hit something.
Maybe the pressure is off. So while you would think, yes,
the Dodgers are gonna win tomorrow and they're gonna win
(09:11):
the World Series, it would not surprise me if the
Yankees finally have a breakout game and they score five
or six runs in the first three innings and Dave
Roberts says, you know what, we're gonna put it away.
We're gonna come back to win this thing tomorrow. Flaherty's
gonna be on the mound. And if that doesn't, we
got Yama Moda. We got two chants at home in
Game six, So that would it would not surprise me.
So if I'm looking at one bright side for the Yankees,
(09:33):
that would be it. The last couple of times of
Dodgers all bullpen game. This is what they've got now,
I hear you, and I like that in theory. In theory,
but forget about Fat Joe for a moment. They embarrassed
themselves in front of Jeter. Why would you why would
say forget it? No, one's gonna forget about fat Joe.
You can't forget about.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Pushing him to the side because he doesn't factor into
the argument. Yes, you embarrassed yourself in front of Jeter.
He threw out the first pitch and you had no life,
no juice, to the point that John Starling was falling
asleep into the booth when Aaron Judge hit that ball
that he was fooled.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
It was a home run, yet no life whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
But this goes into what we talked about last hours,
that the Yankees have played crappy in the playoffs. They've
just they've had a great path. We talked about it
the very beginning, at the beginning, and the Yankees weren't
even playing and on the same day the Orioles and
Astros get eliminated. What do we say that day again,
that's been stolen since for by a few people road.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
The road they were skipping down the yellow brick road.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Man, if they're not in the World Series, it's a
it's a huge epic.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
And now they're in the poppy fields and things have
gone to hell.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Because the two teams that they would play them tough,
that are in their heads that play the Astros and
the Orioles. They're out of the playoffs, right, So they
beat two teams that are clearly not at the same level,
and they beat them despite the fact they were on
the bases poorly, they played poor defense, their pitch wasn't great,
their bullpen got beat. But they hit some big clutch
home runs, right. Soto hit a couple of clutch home runs.
(11:06):
Stan hit a couple of clutch home runs. Judge had
the one clutch home run. I think it's his only
hit in the last eight weeks. So yes, so it
looks like, boy, look at this bit. And it was
frustrating watching the Yankees not play well and get to
the World Series. But this was what the path was
in the American League. Now they're getting taught a lesson.
Oh man, we can't just show up and win and
and and so you'd say, yeah, okay, they're embarrassed themselves,
(11:27):
but this is kind of how they've been playing. They've
been playing this way all the all the way gone,
and and you would think that, okay, go to the
World Series. The Dodgers are gonna get a bit of
a bounce because they've been playing great and the Yankees
haven't played their best baseball and that's gonna make this
a competitive series.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
But the Yankees, they're just.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Playing the way they have, like they're going out there
expecting something's gonna happen. We're gonna win, Like you know,
maybe it would have been a different opening to the
game tonight and things would have gone differently.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
But it goes as bad as it could for the Yankees.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
They walk o Tawny, Freddie Freeman hits another home run,
and all of a sudden, the Yankees are like, that's it,
all right, We're not even bad it yet.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
We're down to Nothingdy Freeman's.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Getting measured for the MVP suit he's gonna wear whenever
they get it, or whatever car they're gonna say, Hey,
we had a leg room in this truck for Freddy Freeman.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
He's a tall dude.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
If we have to take this truck back and get
another truck with more leg room for Freddy Freeman, will
do it. We'll drive it back to the to the dealer,
bring it back here so we can get it onto
the field for tomorrow night. Like that's how bad the
game started for the Yankee Segwich, do you shrug your
shoulders and go Yeah, that's how it's been for the
Yankees all playoffs.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
He's got all the technology and stuff in that truck.
So uh yeah, I think they finish it off tomorrow.
I think this Yankees team is dead. The only thing
that can inspire them is somehow Aaron Boone gets himself
thrown out.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Oh yeah, you know, if they lose it, he won't
be around for the end. He'll find a way to
get like he finally gets the World Series, like you think. Okay,
his job is safe enough. People are gonna want him gone.
I'm telling you the Yankee thing. Reporter tonight, Yeah did
he really? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (12:59):
Is said, the guy didn't realize that. I guess he
was on that was he wasn't he on that Yankee
team when when Day lost?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
He they were up three zero when they lost. He
didn't realize the Yankees lost. Tonight, Hey, Aaron, you guys
were great tonight.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
Man, you he said, Aaron, you guys realize you're you're
down three to Oh what do you guys gotta do
to get.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Back in the series? Ooh hell? You know?
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Uh like it because everybody, every Yankee fan told, every
Yankee fan I know is just gonna sit back and
say why did Boone bring in Cortes? And said of
Tim Hill in Game one, the World Series would have
gone a different way. We would have won the World Series.
But he makes the worst pitching decision ever. And Yankee
fans are gonna say that forever thirty years. It's gonna
be a thirty year storyline in twenty twenty four. Yeah,
why how do we be bringing to Tim Hill? Was
(13:41):
like untouchable? Suddenly Tim Hill's Mariano Rivera. He was like untouchable.
And we bring in Nester Cortez, like Nester Cortez hadn't
pitched its two thousand and nine. Who I'd be bringing in?
That's gonna be all gonna default to that as being in.
And now they want and now they want Aaron Boone out.
Aaron Boone's the worst.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
He's the word. You figure.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
You get to the World Series, Okay, one team's gonna win,
one team's gonna lose. But I got to the World
Series everything, Nope, nope's all your fault.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Aaron.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
Oh, you got to the World Series in spite of yourself.
You pulled a Homer Simpson to succeed to spell and stuff.
That's trade that happens at all walks of business, politics,
you name it, it happens, Exit.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Out, about of Fresca, exit, swollen down.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
I don't like twirking.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
We got big stuff from the NFL coming up in
a second, but first baseball, but before that, a cage
singing Purple Rain. And because it's never enough to do
it once, we do it twice. And because he actually
(15:17):
does it again, we're gonna wind up doing a third time.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Very nice, very nice, very nice.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
So I canna ask you a question, hit me, who
do you think is more upset right now, my dad
or Aaron Boone?
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Who do you think is more upset? Your dad?
Speaker 4 (15:37):
My dad Yankee fan? Yeah, your Dadren Bone, Yankee manager.
I mean he might be up watching late night Law
and Order reruns right now. Here's how mad my dad is.
Instead of Mattlock. He might have just escalated things. I
watch that new Matlock.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Actually, the new Mattlock had a really big twist in
the season opener is pretty good.
Speaker 8 (15:55):
Yeah, Matlock will catch the evil culprit to be better
for Kathy Bates than when she was in charge of
that Printer company or whatever when she took over dunder Mifflin.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Oh, which she was Joe when she was the dogs
into these That was good for about three episodes of
that one and it spoiled. But so my dad texting
him after the game, Yeah, very upset. He's the most
what what play do you think? My dad is the
most upset of its stany y stany because my dad
hates Joe.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
He hates Stanton. So no matter no matter what justification,
Boone may have done, does his half ass signaling, Yeah,
just breaking around, big buy.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Judge is his guy. Chisholm is his guy. Cole is
his adopted He goes what he's done, He's transformed the team.
What a great move at the deadline. Like he loves
to like Judge and Chisholm that they're like his guys
and can do no wrong, even though Judge is hitting
like thirty seven with thirty seven strikeouts, thirty seven in
a row. Uh. But when Stanton got thrown out at
(16:59):
the plate to end the sixth thing, the one chance
Yankees had to get a run tonight, my dad texted
me I could have.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Gotten home faster. That's well.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
And the thing is my dad's seventy seven. And I said, Dad,
I haven't seen you run in forty years. I really,
I haven't seen my dad run in forty years. And
he writes back, doesn't matter. I could still have gotten
around the bases fast.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
Yeah, the speed or lack thereofan Carlos has a big deal.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
The one time I remember seeing my dad run, like
when I was twelve years old, Like I went to
see him. He played in a he played in a
beer league softball league, and I went to watch him play.
He played center field and and somebody hit the ball
over his head. And the way he runs he ran
like a stork, like a slight looked like a stork ball.
(17:51):
I'm like, oh my god, dad, no one do you
don't run Not to be confused with the stork. Ten heads. Yeah,
he's the mad stork. My dad runs like us stork.
He would be the mad Oh okay, it was the
mad story difference. Yes, okay, so my dad very mad,
also very mad. Aaron Boone, Okay, we're onto Aaron Boon.
(18:13):
Yeah my music music, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's been a
long long time.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Is over, it's over. It's this is from tonight. This
is not yet. Oh okay, yeah, this is from tonight.
When did it already happen?
Speaker 1 (18:23):
But yeah, but like story, no, but just a few
minutes ago, that's still a story.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Hey, if we go do karaoke at the end of
the week and can you do the horn part?
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Why, Jason, think about it.
Speaker 9 (18:34):
If you went to the restroom then came back for
the show, you have a story about going to the restroom,
right right.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
But with the story that just happened, you don't play
it's a long long time. It's a long long time music.
But it's supposed to signify a story from like a long.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Time but if it's in the Marvel universe, it takes
only seconds.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
For years to pass.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Yeah, but that's see what you did there, You walked
yourself into a very bad face.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
No, but I I understand that because that's how it
is in the movie. But it's still tell me about Jason,
tell me the story about it.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
No, in the words of Captain America, No, I don't
think I will. Aaron Boone is also very mad. Listen
to the question he got in the post game a
few moments ago. And I know it's radio, but the
look on his face it tells me if if the
cameras weren't on, I would leap over this table and
(19:29):
attack you. Here's the question from a reporter and Aaron
Boone's answer about trying to come back and win a
game tomorrow and stay in the World Series.
Speaker 10 (19:38):
Aaron, only one team has ever come back from a
three to nothing deficit in World Series history. How do
you look your chance to setting into Game four?
Speaker 5 (19:48):
Wait a second, I paused it because you got to
explain the video.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
The look on his face is like, I think, I
think there's a little bit of a I'm looking to
both sides and grabbing the table like, if I can
him out and beat the crap out of you, would
people get mad at me? Like would the police say
it was justifiable you beat the crap out of this guy.
I mean, he rolling his eyes. He looks like he
wants to say what the blank kind of question is out?
He wants to go full of sorta performance. We talk
(20:14):
about his performance, You can talk about that because obviously, look,
no one's come back from three er to win the
World Series. But what he's referring to is the Yankee
team that was up three zip in two thousand and
four and lost to the Red Sox team that Aaron
Boone was not on it.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
You mean he was supposed to be He's supposed to
be there, and he was hurt. He's heard all year
he didn't play.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
The man playing pick up basketball and they went and
got Alex and and.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
And that and that question that he got. You get
the look on his face is just I will kill
you right now. Like if there were lasers that come
out come out of Aaron Boone's face, they would, because
I don't I've never seen him almost that upset.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
But here's the question.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
He's like, he's like a parent that a kid does
something really bad and you could tell the parent wants
to explode but knows that other parents are around of people,
I gotta save this for later, but really quick, like
oh for.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
A second, for a quick second.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
It's like I'm gonna.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
We've all had those moments. Everybody's a lot of wesn'.
I can't really yell at my sometimes I can't maybe
just say forget it. This this is what it's about.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
I can't.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
I can't ide. Do you think the interviewer knew what
he was doing when he asked that question? Uh, the way,
in terms of the Aaron Boone connection.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Well, there's really no connection.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
He wasn't in the majors that year because right he
had the big home run the year before to beat
the Red Sox. They go to the World Series, they
lose to the Marlins, and then he rips up his
knee playing pick up basketball. It doesn't play in the
majors at all. The next does it doesn't have any
and then goes to play for Cleveland.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
But just in terms of knowing that part of the history,
do you think the interviewer knew that or not?
Speaker 1 (21:48):
It sounded like, Okay, here's what it sounded like to me,
it sounded like someone went to the interviewer and said, hey,
you want a good question, ask him.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
This, Ask him about two.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
So he's reading off the paper like that's what it's sounds.
So this is a good Trust me, it's a great question.
Ask him and see what he says.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
And you see them step back and they bought the
devilish grin like their John Lovet's and the wedding singer.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Are you gonna stand next to me while I asked
this question?
Speaker 1 (22:10):
No, I will be behind you and just just just
read it right off there and ask the question.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
So here it is again. Listen to the question. Aaron
Boone's answer.
Speaker 10 (22:19):
Aaron, only one team has ever come back from a
three to nothing deficit in World Series history. How do
you look your chance is? Heading into Game four?
Speaker 4 (22:33):
He starts walking after he asked the question like he's
Connor McGregor swinging his arms.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
He was pissed, he was mad. How do they bleep
him so fast?
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Well, they knew what was coming, obviously they knew. So
here here he is again. So after he calms down
a little bit, here's Aaron Boone's answer to that question.
Speaker 10 (22:52):
The chance is heading into game four.
Speaker 7 (22:57):
We're trying to get a game tomorrow. Okay, That's that's
where our focus lies. So hopefully we can, you know,
go be this amazing story and shock the world. But
right now it's about trying to get a lead, trying
to grab a game and force force another one and
then and then on from there.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
But we gotta grab one first.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Is that good enough?
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Jerk?
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Is that good enough for you? That could win four
games and one?
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Jerk?
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Or I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Either someone gave him that question or he like what
is like a like a kid reporter or someone who
want to contest? Hey, you get to ask questions after
the World Series?
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Aaron? What is it? Cle? I am here having the
time of my life.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
How do you?
Speaker 3 (23:39):
How do you like your chances?
Speaker 4 (23:41):
The toy happened once before and I got.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
It's not really the World Series?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
But you know what I'm saying, Aaron, how do you
like your chances?
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Oh? By the way, Aaron, Judge isn't hitting worth?
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Who do you think what air is worse this season?
You boone or your hitter? Judge? Which aeron? Which Aerans were? Well?
Speaking of Aaron? Would would the Yankees be better?
Speaker 10 (24:08):
Off.
Speaker 8 (24:08):
If Brett Boone was man the breakball, there goes Jeep
left center field and tay Oscar is there to make
the catch.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Oh did I get fooled on that?
Speaker 3 (24:17):
I really thought you were gonna come back with that
Aaron Rodgers pick. Yeah, yeah, you Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
The Yankees have made the rolling snake eyes man for
the better part of the last five days.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
He's pretty rough. Oh boy, I'm all the.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Way up, I'm telling you, man, did you just wait?
You just wait till tomorrow. They bring that piano in
and Billy Joel does senies from Italian restaurant, and Rick
Patino comes out to sing it. You see what Yankses
Stadium is gonna look like at that point when you
got fifty five thousand people going.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Bottle of red, bottle of white. Maybe Aaron Johns will
get it in to night. Here's the last wait.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Just like the interview, I had follow up up with
the same line of questioning did he know what he
was doing? Likewise, Rick Betino showed up with a microphone
walking onto the field.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
How many people would understand what was going on?
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Dodgers and Yanks were the popular teams, and the Dodgers
had to three nothing lead. Uh, so you wait till
that happens games, You wait, too big? Bring that piano
up me look good luck.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Say literally rolled Jesus out. It's not gonna help.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
Here's a hologram Sinatra standing on the mountain.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
We got more coming up in ninety seconds.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
But first, a guy who actually did scenes from the
Italian restaurant at karaoke last week. It's Steve de Sager
with what's trending?
Speaker 6 (25:40):
Uh, you know you must be mistaken, sir. That was
gim Carlo Stanton. Oh, he was a little full after
all the restaurant visits, and that explains him browning third.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
Today, late, late, weighed down by the pasta maybe an
extra canoli.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
I repeat. It was like watching NFL films. Ben, Wait,
why are.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
You showing me this replaying slow motion? Oh no, that's okay.
Well everybody else is able to be in real time,
and he's in slow motion.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
How did you do that effect? Oh no, oh okay,
all right, got it.
Speaker 6 (26:17):
Uh. You know how the bats feed is like one
hundred and ten miles an hour.
Speaker 9 (26:20):
This is a fraction of that when he's actually moving
his legs.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
I'm just back to the cartoons when bugs Bunny When
when the cartoons where they would he would be getting chased,
they would break the ether and they would all of
a sudden be running in really slow motion.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
And holding up sign.
Speaker 6 (26:38):
He was the equivalent of the bugs money pitch going
in slow motion.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Yes, yes, reflect your out, what to reflects her out?
What to prefecture out? Yeah?
Speaker 9 (26:46):
And Judge batted all of those times in the curtain
and TJ. If the Statue of Liberty can make a
big catch and keep Freddy Freeman in the ballpark, maybe
they have a chance. At the end, you played the
reporters question. There was a reporter after the game to
night saying to Dave Roberts, you're one of the few
people on Earth who knows what it's like to come
back from a three to zero deficit. He quickly shot
him down. Don't talk about that wrong guy, way too early.
(27:09):
They moved on to the next question.
Speaker 6 (27:10):
Ah, okay, it is three games to nothing, Dodgers over
the Yankees.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
After tonight's win four to two.
Speaker 6 (27:16):
Freddie Freeman a two run homer in the first, Alex
Verdugo a two run shot bottom of the ninth to
finally get the Yankees on the board, but Clark Schmidt
took the loss two and two third innings of work,
three runs allowed, four walks. The Yankees used eight pitchers,
Dodgers seven. Of course, the Dodgers will likely have an
all bullpen Game four Tomorrow night, eight pm Eastern on
Fox TV. LA's winning pitcher tonight was Walker Buehler, coming
(27:39):
off another arm injury. He was one and six during
the regular season. Last game at the Mets, four scoreless innings,
six strikeouts, tonight at the Yankees, five scoreless innings, five strikeouts.
In the Dodgers' long history, they have swept a best
of seven once ever, it was the nineteen sixty three
World Series against the Yankees with Sandy Kofax and company.
(28:01):
But as we heard earlier on the show, in World
Series history, when it gets up to three games to none,
in the last fifty years plus, it always becomes a
four game sweep. It's been nine straight sweeps once a
team goes up three O three zero in the series.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Since nineteen seventy.
Speaker 6 (28:18):
Although I'll repeat that, I'm sure all of those teams
in the past actually had a fourth starter. Pittsburgh Steelers
beat the Giants twenty six to eighteen. Pittsburgh's won twenty
two straight at home on Monday nights. Giants are averaging
just fourteen points a game, worst in the league.
Speaker 10 (28:34):
Now.
Speaker 6 (28:34):
The offense had gone twenty two straight possessions without a
touchdown until tonight, so there's that. Each team four for
four on field goals, Giants with eleven penalties, though they're
two and six this year, Steelers six and two. Najie
Harris nineteen carries one hundred and fourteen yards. Packers quarterback
Jordan Love has a straying groin, but test showed no
significant damage. Green Bay host Detroit Sunday on Fox TV
(28:57):
and this Saturday on Fox TV. College football is number
four Ohio State at number three Penn State noon Eastern time.
Penn State quarterback Drew Allar could be a game time
decision this weekend with a knee injury. In one of
the NBA late games, Phoenix came back to defeat the
Lakers final of one oh nine to one oh five.
Lakers were up twenty six to eight early in this game.
(29:18):
Lebron James finished three of fourteen shooting from the floor,
but at least got to double digit scoring, so that
streak is still going one thy two hundred and twenty
six games in a row double digit scoring. He's played
about fifteen hundred games in his NBA career, so this
streak goes back to early in his career. Dallas one
ten one oh two over Utah, even though Luka Donsich
(29:41):
of the bas was five of twenty two from the floor,
Sacramento and Chicago with wins, Houston and Denver with wins.
That Nuggets victory was in overtime at Toronto Nicola Jokic
with forty points and at Orlando Paulo Benko fifty points
in a magic win against Indiana one nineteen one fifteen
Golden State. Steph Curry will miss at least two games
(30:02):
with a sprained ankle, and among the NHL games, Vegas
won the Lake Contest five nothing over Calgary, Winnipeg was
eight to o. It lost against Toronto six to four,
and San Jose was winless seven and two. It got
a win in overtime five to four at Utah despite
trailing four to one with under five minutes left in regulation.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Wait they played the Jazz.
Speaker 6 (30:23):
It's just Utah Hockey Club for the entire season they're
gonna get a nickname and have the poll with the
fans for all of that. Maybe it'll be the Blizzard
or the Yetie or whatever they choose. But it's just
Utah Hockey Club this year.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
Back to you.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Thank you, Steve the Jason smithser with Mike Carmen lockethty
Rock dot Com Studios.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
You just wait. You just wait till tomorrow, ladies and gentlemen,
the rat Pack. You just wait coming up, coming up.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Why you may have seen the last of Daniel Jones
as quarterback for the New York Giants.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
What whoa whoa whoa whoa what it's It's wow. He's
just you just may have seen him. He's still gonna
be flat day. You just I mean that was symbolic, right.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
You may have seen him play for the Giants for
the last time tonight. Plus something that's not been said
about Sho Hey o Tani and the playoffs. Mean, both
of those things we finished with a flourish, just like
Brenda and Eddie when they had had it already by
the summer of seventy five. That's next right here, Jason
(31:36):
and Mike Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
I don't like twirking.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
We had Fat Joe's sing a song and it didn't
go well. So tomorrow nighty will be me singing.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
Now, Oh, this is worse than Fat Joe is.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Good.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Stop, I'm freelancing and free styling, and I'm freestyling.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Well the hell is.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific. My favorite part.
Speaker 5 (32:16):
About the performance by Fat Joe is for him pointing
out to the outfield of where Freddy's ball landed.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
It's gonna be right there, whoever's there, You're gonna catch
a souvenir.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
Congratulations. What a loser.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Yet Fat Joe less than equal to or less than
ice Cube? I would I would say that ice Cube
definitely than Fat Joe. Again, but Ben, when Billy Joel
does scenem fro an Italian restaurant tomorrow, it's going to
be very exciting.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
Yeah, but no, we overlay the Fat Joe point. I mean,
Frostburg's got him for the Freeman home run. Now we
add you know, Babe Ruth into there. I guess part
of it also because people were making fun of his
size and weight.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Whatever.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
Yeah, no, is it kind of like Jonah Hill and
Kevin James when they weren't funny when they got in shape.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Oh yes, you lost your edge. Oh wait back on? Oh okay, great,
what's what the boots was? He was he coming from
like a hiking trip, but leaving public transportation to walk
up that did. Sometimes you have to get there, you.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Run it up on the hill. I mean, what are
you gonna do really quick?
Speaker 1 (33:21):
We'll do Otani first, then get to Daniel Jones. Uh
Otani was asked, ye, look tonight, he didn't not. He
didn't quite look the same. The slight shoulder separation that
he suffered in Game two. It looked like he had
some trouble swinging the bat.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
Maybe he's not.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
I mean, I'm just saying this is not anything I've heard,
but maybe he gets arrest and he's out of the
lineup tomorrow though the Dodgers trying to win the World Series?
Speaker 3 (33:42):
Can you really rest him?
Speaker 1 (33:44):
He was asked about the possibility of surgery in the
offseason following the game tonight. He said, well, there'd be
a lot of testing going on and then we'll see
where we're at. But I'm gonna go a step further
I'm wondering if Otani's not banged up a little bit
more than he was even pro to this, because you
know the focus at all. He tried to steal second base,
(34:04):
and and and and he got hurt. This is a
guy that stole almost sixty bases this year and he
is not stolen a base the entire playoffs. He's only
tried to steal a base twice. He's been on base
a lot, right, Yes, his stats don't look great for
this because he's been he's been walked twelve times, been
walked once once a game since the playoffs started, he's
been on base, and yet he's only tried to steal
(34:26):
a base twice. This is a guy that was stealing
with reckless abandon and I don't think suddenly they told
him stop stealing bases in the playoffs. I don't know,
but there's it's something weird about him and why he's
not been able to be a little bit more cause
more havoc on the base paths because it's what he's done.
He didn't he even take big leads like when he
would get on first base against the metsicle he's gonna
(34:47):
steal second, He's gonna have a lead and Alonso's not
even holding him on and he's only a few Like
I'm wondering, is is he banged up?
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Is he unable to run at at at the normal?
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Gate that he has a normal way he has, because
it doesn't make sense why he would he'd only try
to steal two bases over the course of the past
fifteen games.
Speaker 4 (35:05):
See you zigged where I thought you were gonna zag.
I thought you were gonna say. Was he just stat
padding in the regular season on a Dodger team en
route to a ninety eight win season.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Almost sixty base And this is not like, hey he's
still twenty five b He's still sixty bases.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
Man.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
That's It's like you're one of the two elite base
stealers in the game and you don't steal a base
in the playoffs?
Speaker 3 (35:26):
Come on, as I mean, if you had the video overlay,
they were like flames around me. I'm great. I mean,
it's like that guy asking Aaron Boone's question one team.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
But no.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
But I think it's a legit question you questioned. I
guess from the aggressiveness and the strategy standpoint, maybe you
don't fearing you're gonna run yourself out of an inning
when the runs are at a premium.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
I'm like trying to figure out all the different parts
of the art you attempted. But I think I think
there might be something back.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
When he's thrown out twice and thrown out both times,
I mean there's I don't know, man, I wonder so
now his legs are affected, I wonder if something back
and look and he has to take big leads.
Speaker 5 (36:08):
Yes, all right, should worry about Aaron Rodgers and the
damn Jets.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
On the show, we noticed what he's doing. He's soft shooting.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
You think, of course he's doing that. We have plenty
of time for Aaron Rodgers. It's going to be a
week Jets funeral because.
Speaker 5 (36:22):
That crazy LA sports team stat beginning of the show.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Yeah yeah, yeah, Okay that the first LA team to lose
in the last five days a Lakers tonight.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
Yeah, but I got to follow up to that.
Speaker 5 (36:32):
Okay, New York City is the first metro area to
lose a game in MLB, MLS, NBA at NFL on
the same day.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
Where you go, so advantage LA all over New York.
I think he's flipping you off as a standard. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
But now let's get to Daniel Jones a bit, because look,
Monday Night Football tonight, we talked about the Russell Wilson
aspect of the Steelers, and look, the offense looks kind
of the same. But for Daniel Jones, I would not
be surprised if this was his last game as a
Giants quarterback. He threw a bad interception and the game
that was awful. He got the ball knocked out of
(37:09):
his hands for a fumble on the possession before it
and the fourth quarter of the Giants had two chances
to tie the game, and Daniel Jones gave him away,
didn't protect the football because TJ. Watt's able to come
right up to him and paw it out of his hands,
and then he throws a really bad pick, overthrowing Devin
Singletary and the Giants lose. They're two and six. They
didn't make any big changes in this season because they
(37:31):
knew if the Giants stunk this year, it's gonna be
new GM, new head coach, new quarterback. We don't want
to saddle a new GM and head coach with if
we trade up for JJ McCarthy and maybe he's not
the GM and.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
The head coaches guy.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
So they came in with this being their team, right,
and if the Giants stink, it'll be new GM, new
head coach, new quarterback. But Daniel Jones has twenty five
million dollars of his contract guaranteed for injury for next year.
You know the Giants are not going forward with him.
They will figure out this money. This is not even
Russell Wilson Bronco's money. They will figure out this money.
(38:02):
But how much longer can they really afford to go
before you worry about if he gets hurt and we're
on the hook for twenty five million dollars of his
money next year? The answer is none. And I know
it's a short week, but you're two and six and
the season is over. Can you really risk Daniel Jones
going out there again? I would not be surprised if
in the next week it's gonna be Drew Locke, and
(38:25):
then after Drew Locke for all Tommy Cutlets will we'll
get the NOD in December, so at least it could
be a fun December of maybe Tommy Cutlet's get some
magic going on. But I really can't see Daniel Jones
playing for the Giants again. Now that they're two and
six and the season's over, they're gonna have to protect
themselves against what their future is. And their future was
always next year. And you don't want to be on
(38:46):
the hook for Daniel Jones getting hurt and having to
pay him twenty five million dollars.
Speaker 4 (38:49):
The out on the contract, the dead cap hit taking
a look at it is about twenty two million. So
there's your savings three million dollars just like that injury
guarantee versus bang. And you're gonna draft a quarterback, so
you reset all of that. You've got Tracy and Neighbors,
two nice pieces to start your offense. Gonna need to
work on the offensive line. It was a turnstile at times.
(39:12):
That fumble that he had when TJ. Watt just walked
in on the right tackle, Come on, that was embarrassing. Okay,
literally just guided Tjah Yeah, TJ Watt right into him, just.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
Putting, oh, there's the football. Like, how you go forward
with that with Daniel Jones? I know that you can.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
I really don't.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Next level exit, how about a Fresco exit? Swollen down

Hello, Welcome inside final hour tonight the Jason Smith Show

Speaker 1 (00:41):
An unmapped selection, fast free shipping, free road hazard protection,

way tire buying should be. Well, we'll have that big
hot take coming off of Monday Night Football coming up
in a couple of minutes. But the Dodgers are one
day away, one game away from winning the World Series.
(01:02):
They have taken a three games to non lead over
the Yankees by winning tonight four to two, a game
that was never really close. Alex Vradugo hits a home
run in the bottom of the ninth inning off of
White Sox reliever Michael Kopet sorry former White sauce.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Kopek finished the job.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
It doesn't matter, sorry for form or size to make
it look close, But the Dodgers dominated all night, and
one thought about the Dodgers before there's an actual silver
lining for the Yankees is that you can break things
down many different ways, right, look at the different angles
on things We've talked throughout the show tonight about the
first at bat of the game, Clark Schmidt not challenging
(01:36):
Otani when you have no idea if the guy can
even swing the bat, and the first inning went sideways
for them because of it. Walker Buehler attacked the Yankee
lineup in the first inning two different ways to set
the tone. The Dodgers said it. The Yankees had a
chance to at home, they didn't do it. We talked
about the Dodgers line up, the Dodgers, but all these things.
But when you look at Walker Buehler, just think about
him for a minute. He came back from injury and
(01:58):
he was terrible. Right, he'd be the first guy to
tell you he was terrible all season long.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Right.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
He was bad against the Padres in the in the
in the first round of the playoffs, he gave up
six runs and five innings and the Dodgers loss. You thought, wow,
maybe the Dodgers are going to lose this series.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Well he closed out the starts well, right because he
had that horrible inning.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Yes, yes, but still but give it all count Yeah,
it all counts the same.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
But there was just like, yeah, at least he was
able to extend, right, It wasn't. He got chased and
that was the ending. But at that point it was
take up some innings from the bullpen. We we're losing early,
but make sure I don't have to. I can't keep
going to the bullpen.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
He was terrible, right, And now, what was the biggest
thing I remember back in the nlcsco Walker Bueller and
game looking for In Game three, you were game, let's
see what you got and walker Bueller four innings but
for really good innings and the Dodgers win that game.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
And then.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
In the here tonight, here's the biggest game of the
season for the Yankees and walker Bule they could get
back in it, and the Dodgers have their worst starter
going and walker Bueller five shutout innings. So the last
two games Walker Buehler has pitched. He's pitched the equivalent
of a complete game and hasn't given up a run.
Sometimes it's just your year, right, Well, all the different
(03:16):
things for the Dodgers and all that, but sometimes when
you get that kind of performance from a from someone who, hey,
if he keeps us in a game, we're happy. But
instead he's throwing zeros against the against the second best
team in the National League and the best team in
the American League. Sometimes you just go, you know what,
we're living, right, it is just our year, because that's
kind of what I've been thinking. For the Dodgers of
(03:37):
last few nits. They've made the plays the Yankees if
not all these did. Yes, they've made their own luck.
And Freddie Freeman hits a home run every game. But
when you get something like that, you go sometimes sometimes
it's just your year. Like, who would have ever thought
that's how Walker Bueller suddenly is going to turn things
around in the NLCS and in the World Series and
he's done it.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Yeah, it's think curiosity of what has been a really
weird secene and obviously it's not done yet. So we'll
spare the video and audio Yearbook of the Dodgers. But
you think back of how this began with you know,
the epay and show hey stuff, through all the injuries
to the pitching staff and bullpen games becoming a norm
(04:17):
for the Dodgers, So you know, talk about rarefied air
in terms of learning and trial by fire of this
is a well rehearsed system of reliever conga lines that
they've done all year long.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
And for Walker.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Bueller a little bit, you know, owing to his postgame
presser and kind of talking about learning to pitch. And
we've heard this from other pitchers through the years. Right
where I'm a thrower and then either an injury or
a setback or just age where you don't have the
ninety seven mile an hour heater at your disposal all
the time that you have to learn how to pitch.
(04:52):
And for Walker Buehler the last couple of times out,
it's been fantastic.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Getting a lot of help.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Right if you're gonna be first ball swinging, I'm feeling
pretty good about my chances.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Oh you're not getting the best.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Off me, right, Whereas you see some of these other
the Dodger hitters like all right, we're gonna take two pitches,
we're gonna make you come to us, and you see
what that had what happened to Schmid right the opening walk,
dancing around Otani and then the home run. But for
Walker Buehler, he's shown up in prime time before, and
you know, past performance is not indicative of future returns,
(05:25):
as you see so often if you're watching infomercials late
at night, but it's the reality in a big game,
this guy just settles in and finds his zone.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
And we're watching the Yankee hitters off balance and pressing
when they do have an opportunity right making the mistakes
that they did in earlier rounds.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
The margin yr is gone.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
So the Stanton decision to to run him I would
have if I'm a Yankee fan sitting going all right,
Bueller's finally on the ropes. We're gonna have two runners
on now there's two outs, but we got him on
the rope, so let's see what kind of pitch he's
gonna make in this situation. And then he didn't have
to because he was back out for the fifth and eight.
(06:08):
You know, a frame that was wide open to him
once again, and he finished the job and leaves after five.
And you know once the bullpen comes back in that
that that's the end. Dave Roberts's advantage Dodgers. Now you
say that, and here's the bright side for the Yankees.
Right side you're going to for the Yankees? I, mister
bright No, because it's really hard to find a bright
(06:29):
side for the Yankees.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
Do you think Aaron Judge is gonna find his bat?
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Uh? No, he's still gonna back. Is he gonna steal
one from soda?
Speaker 1 (06:34):
No, he's gonna use a hologram of a bat, which
is what he's been using so far in the World Series.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
That's why he can't make.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Contact, because it's just the holo we could use't hit
the ball.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Hey, come on, man, Thorn's hammer was like fifteen years ago.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
It's storm breaker dude, all right, he comes the time
Aaron Judge went yard fifteen years ago.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
You use it? You used the little one?
Speaker 6 (06:54):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Wait?
Speaker 3 (06:56):
That gets dinkle genes.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
The Dodgers are looking for the clincher tomorrow, and yes,
we've seen clincher's happen all the time teams get up threes.
If the Dodgers are gonna be feeling it, bullpen game
for them tomorrow. But let me a couple of things
for the Yankees that could go in their favor. Number one,
I would say it's probably fifty to fifty o Tani
even plays tomorrow because he did not swing the bat
(07:18):
well tonight.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
And you saw the Yankees were.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Still afraid of him even when they didn't know he
could swing the bat, because they walk him on four
pitches to start the game, which was, dude, you gotta
go after him and see if he can swing the bat. No, no, no,
I'm still afraid of Otani. I wonder because he looked
bad swinging the bat. He went his last at bat,
he walked off the field, did not look great. You
wonder if they're gonna say, hey, show Hey's gonna sit.
But then again, do you want show how Tani sitting
(07:42):
in a game that you could win the World Series.
But for tomorrow, yes, the Dodger are sniffing it. But
it's a bullpen game.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
And we look.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Back and take all the Dodgers' bullpen game. Yeah, they
had a great bullpen game Game four against the Padres. Right,
it was great, and that's where suddenly the legend of
Dodger bullpen was But when's the last time the Dodgers
have lost a game? When the last two times when
they said, here's a bullpen game, right, the bullpen game.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Gave you those games.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
In Game two against the Mets and the bullpen game
in Game five against the Mets, because this is how
they did it. And Dave Roberts, when he goes to
a bullpen game, if the other team gets out early,
he doesn't expend the rest of his team's energy and
bullpen trying to get back in it.
Speaker 7 (08:28):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
I know there was the criticism of all he gave
those games against Mett. No, what he saw was, hey,
we're not going to win these games. The Mets are
up six nothing early, they're up five to nothing early.
We're not going to bring in our high leverage guys
and go crazy in a game like this because we
have the bullpen game going. We're going to finish out
with these guys, give our high leverage guys a rest,
and be back at it. We have three chances now
(08:50):
to win one game, and we have our best starter,
our second best starter, and a starter that's been phenomenal
for us the last couple of games. So tomorrow. The
last two times the Dodgers going to bullpen game, the
Mets knock the crap out of the Dodgers right, and
the Yankees lineup at some point they're gonna hit something.
Maybe the pressure is off. So while you would think, yes,
the Dodgers are gonna win tomorrow and they're gonna win
(09:11):
the World Series, it would not surprise me if the
Yankees finally have a breakout game and they score five
or six runs in the first three innings and Dave
Roberts says, you know what, we're gonna put it away.
We're gonna come back to win this thing tomorrow. Flaherty's
gonna be on the mound. And if that doesn't, we
got Yama Moda. We got two chants at home in
Game six, So that would it would not surprise me.
So if I'm looking at one bright side for the Yankees,
(09:33):
that would be it. The last couple of times of
Dodgers all bullpen game. This is what they've got now,
I hear you, and I like that in theory. In theory,
but forget about Fat Joe for a moment. They embarrassed
themselves in front of Jeter. Why would you why would
say forget it? No, one's gonna forget about fat Joe.
You can't forget about.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Pushing him to the side because he doesn't factor into
the argument. Yes, you embarrassed yourself in front of Jeter.
He threw out the first pitch and you had no life,
no juice, to the point that John Starling was falling
asleep into the booth when Aaron Judge hit that ball
that he was fooled.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
It was a home run, yet no life whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
But this goes into what we talked about last hours,
that the Yankees have played crappy in the playoffs. They've
just they've had a great path. We talked about it
the very beginning, at the beginning, and the Yankees weren't
even playing and on the same day the Orioles and
Astros get eliminated. What do we say that day again,
that's been stolen since for by a few people road.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
The road they were skipping down the yellow brick road.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Man, if they're not in the World Series, it's a
it's a huge epic.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
And now they're in the poppy fields and things have
gone to hell.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Because the two teams that they would play them tough,
that are in their heads that play the Astros and
the Orioles. They're out of the playoffs, right, So they
beat two teams that are clearly not at the same level,
and they beat them despite the fact they were on
the bases poorly, they played poor defense, their pitch wasn't great,
their bullpen got beat. But they hit some big clutch
home runs, right. Soto hit a couple of clutch home runs.
(11:06):
Stan hit a couple of clutch home runs. Judge had
the one clutch home run. I think it's his only
hit in the last eight weeks. So yes, so it
looks like, boy, look at this bit. And it was
frustrating watching the Yankees not play well and get to
the World Series. But this was what the path was
in the American League. Now they're getting taught a lesson.
Oh man, we can't just show up and win and
and and so you'd say, yeah, okay, they're embarrassed themselves,
(11:27):
but this is kind of how they've been playing. They've
been playing this way all the all the way gone,
and and you would think that, okay, go to the
World Series. The Dodgers are gonna get a bit of
a bounce because they've been playing great and the Yankees
haven't played their best baseball and that's gonna make this
a competitive series.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
But the Yankees, they're just.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Playing the way they have, like they're going out there
expecting something's gonna happen. We're gonna win, Like you know,
maybe it would have been a different opening to the
game tonight and things would have gone differently.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
But it goes as bad as it could for the Yankees.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
They walk o Tawny, Freddie Freeman hits another home run,
and all of a sudden, the Yankees are like, that's it,
all right, We're not even bad it yet.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
We're down to Nothingdy Freeman's.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Getting measured for the MVP suit he's gonna wear whenever
they get it, or whatever car they're gonna say, Hey,
we had a leg room in this truck for Freddy Freeman.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
He's a tall dude.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
If we have to take this truck back and get
another truck with more leg room for Freddy Freeman, will
do it. We'll drive it back to the to the dealer,
bring it back here so we can get it onto
the field for tomorrow night. Like that's how bad the
game started for the Yankee Segwich, do you shrug your
shoulders and go Yeah, that's how it's been for the
Yankees all playoffs.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
He's got all the technology and stuff in that truck.
So uh yeah, I think they finish it off tomorrow.
I think this Yankees team is dead. The only thing
that can inspire them is somehow Aaron Boone gets himself
thrown out.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Oh yeah, you know, if they lose it, he won't
be around for the end. He'll find a way to
get like he finally gets the World Series, like you think. Okay,
his job is safe enough. People are gonna want him gone.
I'm telling you the Yankee thing. Reporter tonight, Yeah did
he really? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (12:59):
Is said, the guy didn't realize that. I guess he
was on that was he wasn't he on that Yankee
team when when Day lost?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
He they were up three zero when they lost. He
didn't realize the Yankees lost. Tonight, Hey, Aaron, you guys
were great tonight.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
Man, you he said, Aaron, you guys realize you're you're
down three to Oh what do you guys gotta do
to get.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Back in the series? Ooh hell? You know?
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Uh like it because everybody, every Yankee fan told, every
Yankee fan I know is just gonna sit back and
say why did Boone bring in Cortes? And said of
Tim Hill in Game one, the World Series would have
gone a different way. We would have won the World Series.
But he makes the worst pitching decision ever. And Yankee
fans are gonna say that forever thirty years. It's gonna
be a thirty year storyline in twenty twenty four. Yeah,
why how do we be bringing to Tim Hill? Was
(13:41):
like untouchable? Suddenly Tim Hill's Mariano Rivera. He was like untouchable.
And we bring in Nester Cortez, like Nester Cortez hadn't
pitched its two thousand and nine. Who I'd be bringing in?
That's gonna be all gonna default to that as being in.
And now they want and now they want Aaron Boone out.
Aaron Boone's the worst.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
He's the word. You figure.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
You get to the World Series, Okay, one team's gonna win,
one team's gonna lose. But I got to the World
Series everything, Nope, nope's all your fault.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Aaron.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
Oh, you got to the World Series in spite of yourself.
You pulled a Homer Simpson to succeed to spell and stuff.
That's trade that happens at all walks of business, politics,
you name it, it happens, Exit.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Out, about of Fresca, exit, swollen down.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
I don't like twirking.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
We got big stuff from the NFL coming up in
a second, but first baseball, but before that, a cage
singing Purple Rain. And because it's never enough to do

Speaker 3 (15:24):
Very nice, very nice, very nice.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
So I canna ask you a question, hit me, who
do you think is more upset right now, my dad
or Aaron Boone?
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Who do you think is more upset? Your dad?
Speaker 4 (15:37):
My dad Yankee fan? Yeah, your Dadren Bone, Yankee manager.
I mean he might be up watching late night Law
and Order reruns right now. Here's how mad my dad is.
Instead of Mattlock. He might have just escalated things. I
watch that new Matlock.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Actually, the new Mattlock had a really big twist in
the season opener is pretty good.
Speaker 8 (15:55):
Yeah, Matlock will catch the evil culprit to be better
for Kathy Bates than when she was in charge of
that Printer company or whatever when she took over dunder Mifflin.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Oh, which she was Joe when she was the dogs
into these That was good for about three episodes of
that one and it spoiled. But so my dad texting
him after the game, Yeah, very upset. He's the most
what what play do you think? My dad is the
most upset of its stany y stany because my dad
hates Joe.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
He hates Stanton. So no matter no matter what justification,
Boone may have done, does his half ass signaling, Yeah,
just breaking around, big buy.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Judge is his guy. Chisholm is his guy. Cole is
his adopted He goes what he's done, He's transformed the team.
What a great move at the deadline. Like he loves
to like Judge and Chisholm that they're like his guys
and can do no wrong, even though Judge is hitting
like thirty seven with thirty seven strikeouts, thirty seven in
a row. Uh. But when Stanton got thrown out at
(16:59):
the plate to end the sixth thing, the one chance
Yankees had to get a run tonight, my dad texted
me I could have.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Gotten home faster. That's well.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
And the thing is my dad's seventy seven. And I said, Dad,
I haven't seen you run in forty years. I really,
I haven't seen my dad run in forty years. And
he writes back, doesn't matter. I could still have gotten
around the bases fast.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
Yeah, the speed or lack thereofan Carlos has a big deal.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
The one time I remember seeing my dad run, like
when I was twelve years old, Like I went to
see him. He played in a he played in a
beer league softball league, and I went to watch him play.
He played center field and and somebody hit the ball
over his head. And the way he runs he ran
like a stork, like a slight looked like a stork ball.
(17:51):
I'm like, oh my god, dad, no one do you
don't run Not to be confused with the stork. Ten heads. Yeah,
he's the mad stork. My dad runs like us stork.
He would be the mad Oh okay, it was the
mad story difference. Yes, okay, so my dad very mad,
also very mad. Aaron Boone, Okay, we're onto Aaron Boon.
(18:13):
Yeah my music music, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's been a
long long time.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Is over, it's over. It's this is from tonight. This
is not yet. Oh okay, yeah, this is from tonight.
When did it already happen?
Speaker 1 (18:23):
But yeah, but like story, no, but just a few
minutes ago, that's still a story.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Hey, if we go do karaoke at the end of
the week and can you do the horn part?
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Why, Jason, think about it.
Speaker 9 (18:34):
If you went to the restroom then came back for
the show, you have a story about going to the restroom,
right right.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
But with the story that just happened, you don't play
it's a long long time. It's a long long time music.
But it's supposed to signify a story from like a long.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Time but if it's in the Marvel universe, it takes
only seconds.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
For years to pass.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Yeah, but that's see what you did there, You walked
yourself into a very bad face.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
No, but I I understand that because that's how it
is in the movie. But it's still tell me about Jason,
tell me the story about it.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
No, in the words of Captain America, No, I don't
think I will. Aaron Boone is also very mad. Listen
to the question he got in the post game a
few moments ago. And I know it's radio, but the
look on his face it tells me if if the
cameras weren't on, I would leap over this table and
(19:29):
attack you. Here's the question from a reporter and Aaron
Boone's answer about trying to come back and win a
game tomorrow and stay in the World Series.
Speaker 10 (19:38):
Aaron, only one team has ever come back from a
three to nothing deficit in World Series history. How do
you look your chance to setting into Game four?
Speaker 5 (19:48):
Wait a second, I paused it because you got to
explain the video.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
The look on his face is like, I think, I
think there's a little bit of a I'm looking to
both sides and grabbing the table like, if I can
him out and beat the crap out of you, would
people get mad at me? Like would the police say
it was justifiable you beat the crap out of this guy.
I mean, he rolling his eyes. He looks like he
wants to say what the blank kind of question is out?
He wants to go full of sorta performance. We talk
(20:14):
about his performance, You can talk about that because obviously, look,
no one's come back from three er to win the
World Series. But what he's referring to is the Yankee
team that was up three zip in two thousand and
four and lost to the Red Sox team that Aaron
Boone was not on it.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
You mean he was supposed to be He's supposed to
be there, and he was hurt. He's heard all year
he didn't play.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
The man playing pick up basketball and they went and
got Alex and and.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
And that and that question that he got. You get
the look on his face is just I will kill
you right now. Like if there were lasers that come
out come out of Aaron Boone's face, they would, because
I don't I've never seen him almost that upset.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
But here's the question.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
He's like, he's like a parent that a kid does
something really bad and you could tell the parent wants
to explode but knows that other parents are around of people,
I gotta save this for later, but really quick, like
oh for.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
A second, for a quick second.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
It's like I'm gonna.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
We've all had those moments. Everybody's a lot of wesn'.
I can't really yell at my sometimes I can't maybe
just say forget it. This this is what it's about.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
I can't.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
I can't ide. Do you think the interviewer knew what
he was doing when he asked that question? Uh, the way,
in terms of the Aaron Boone connection.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Well, there's really no connection.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
He wasn't in the majors that year because right he
had the big home run the year before to beat
the Red Sox. They go to the World Series, they
lose to the Marlins, and then he rips up his
knee playing pick up basketball. It doesn't play in the
majors at all. The next does it doesn't have any
and then goes to play for Cleveland.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
But just in terms of knowing that part of the history,
do you think the interviewer knew that or not?
Speaker 1 (21:48):
It sounded like, Okay, here's what it sounded like to me,
it sounded like someone went to the interviewer and said, hey,
you want a good question, ask him.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
This, Ask him about two.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
So he's reading off the paper like that's what it's sounds.
So this is a good Trust me, it's a great question.
Ask him and see what he says.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
And you see them step back and they bought the
devilish grin like their John Lovet's and the wedding singer.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Are you gonna stand next to me while I asked
this question?
Speaker 1 (22:10):
No, I will be behind you and just just just
read it right off there and ask the question.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
So here it is again. Listen to the question. Aaron
Boone's answer.
Speaker 10 (22:19):
Aaron, only one team has ever come back from a
three to nothing deficit in World Series history. How do
you look your chance is? Heading into Game four?
Speaker 4 (22:33):
He starts walking after he asked the question like he's
Connor McGregor swinging his arms.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
He was pissed, he was mad. How do they bleep
him so fast?
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Well, they knew what was coming, obviously they knew. So
here here he is again. So after he calms down
a little bit, here's Aaron Boone's answer to that question.
Speaker 10 (22:52):
The chance is heading into game four.
Speaker 7 (22:57):
We're trying to get a game tomorrow. Okay, That's that's
where our focus lies. So hopefully we can, you know,
go be this amazing story and shock the world. But
right now it's about trying to get a lead, trying
to grab a game and force force another one and
then and then on from there.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
But we gotta grab one first.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Is that good enough?
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Jerk?
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Is that good enough for you? That could win four
games and one?
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Jerk?
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Or I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Either someone gave him that question or he like what
is like a like a kid reporter or someone who
want to contest? Hey, you get to ask questions after
the World Series?
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Aaron? What is it? Cle? I am here having the
time of my life.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
How do you?
Speaker 3 (23:39):
How do you like your chances?
Speaker 4 (23:41):
The toy happened once before and I got.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
It's not really the World Series?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
But you know what I'm saying, Aaron, how do you
like your chances?
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Oh? By the way, Aaron, Judge isn't hitting worth?
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Who do you think what air is worse this season?
You boone or your hitter? Judge? Which aeron? Which Aerans were? Well?
Speaking of Aaron? Would would the Yankees be better?
Speaker 10 (24:08):
Off.
Speaker 8 (24:08):
If Brett Boone was man the breakball, there goes Jeep
left center field and tay Oscar is there to make
the catch.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Oh did I get fooled on that?
Speaker 3 (24:17):
I really thought you were gonna come back with that
Aaron Rodgers pick. Yeah, yeah, you Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
The Yankees have made the rolling snake eyes man for
the better part of the last five days.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
He's pretty rough. Oh boy, I'm all the.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Way up, I'm telling you, man, did you just wait?
You just wait till tomorrow. They bring that piano in
and Billy Joel does senies from Italian restaurant, and Rick
Patino comes out to sing it. You see what Yankses
Stadium is gonna look like at that point when you
got fifty five thousand people going.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Bottle of red, bottle of white. Maybe Aaron Johns will
get it in to night. Here's the last wait.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Just like the interview, I had follow up up with
the same line of questioning did he know what he
was doing? Likewise, Rick Betino showed up with a microphone
walking onto the field.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
How many people would understand what was going on?
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Dodgers and Yanks were the popular teams, and the Dodgers
had to three nothing lead. Uh, so you wait till
that happens games, You wait, too big? Bring that piano
up me look good luck.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Say literally rolled Jesus out. It's not gonna help.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
Here's a hologram Sinatra standing on the mountain.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
We got more coming up in ninety seconds.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
But first, a guy who actually did scenes from the
Italian restaurant at karaoke last week. It's Steve de Sager
with what's trending?
Speaker 6 (25:40):
Uh, you know you must be mistaken, sir. That was
gim Carlo Stanton. Oh, he was a little full after
all the restaurant visits, and that explains him browning third.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
Today, late, late, weighed down by the pasta maybe an
extra canoli.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
I repeat. It was like watching NFL films. Ben, Wait,
why are.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
You showing me this replaying slow motion? Oh no, that's okay.
Well everybody else is able to be in real time,
and he's in slow motion.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
How did you do that effect? Oh no, oh okay,
all right, got it.
Speaker 6 (26:17):
Uh. You know how the bats feed is like one
hundred and ten miles an hour.
Speaker 9 (26:20):
This is a fraction of that when he's actually moving
his legs.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
I'm just back to the cartoons when bugs Bunny When
when the cartoons where they would he would be getting chased,
they would break the ether and they would all of
a sudden be running in really slow motion.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
And holding up sign.
Speaker 6 (26:38):
He was the equivalent of the bugs money pitch going
in slow motion.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Yes, yes, reflect your out, what to reflects her out?
What to prefecture out? Yeah?
Speaker 9 (26:46):
And Judge batted all of those times in the curtain
and TJ. If the Statue of Liberty can make a
big catch and keep Freddy Freeman in the ballpark, maybe
they have a chance. At the end, you played the
reporters question. There was a reporter after the game to
night saying to Dave Roberts, you're one of the few
people on Earth who knows what it's like to come
back from a three to zero deficit. He quickly shot
him down. Don't talk about that wrong guy, way too early.
(27:09):
They moved on to the next question.
Speaker 6 (27:10):
Ah, okay, it is three games to nothing, Dodgers over
the Yankees.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
After tonight's win four to two.
Speaker 6 (27:16):
Freddie Freeman a two run homer in the first, Alex
Verdugo a two run shot bottom of the ninth to
finally get the Yankees on the board, but Clark Schmidt
took the loss two and two third innings of work,
three runs allowed, four walks. The Yankees used eight pitchers,
Dodgers seven. Of course, the Dodgers will likely have an
all bullpen Game four Tomorrow night, eight pm Eastern on
Fox TV. LA's winning pitcher tonight was Walker Buehler, coming
(27:39):
off another arm injury. He was one and six during
the regular season. Last game at the Mets, four scoreless innings,
six strikeouts, tonight at the Yankees, five scoreless innings, five strikeouts.
In the Dodgers' long history, they have swept a best
of seven once ever, it was the nineteen sixty three
World Series against the Yankees with Sandy Kofax and company.
(28:01):
But as we heard earlier on the show, in World
Series history, when it gets up to three games to none,
in the last fifty years plus, it always becomes a
four game sweep. It's been nine straight sweeps once a
team goes up three O three zero in the series.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Since nineteen seventy.
Speaker 6 (28:18):
Although I'll repeat that, I'm sure all of those teams
in the past actually had a fourth starter. Pittsburgh Steelers
beat the Giants twenty six to eighteen. Pittsburgh's won twenty
two straight at home on Monday nights. Giants are averaging
just fourteen points a game, worst in the league.
Speaker 10 (28:34):
Now.
Speaker 6 (28:34):
The offense had gone twenty two straight possessions without a
touchdown until tonight, so there's that. Each team four for
four on field goals, Giants with eleven penalties, though they're
two and six this year, Steelers six and two. Najie
Harris nineteen carries one hundred and fourteen yards. Packers quarterback
Jordan Love has a straying groin, but test showed no
significant damage. Green Bay host Detroit Sunday on Fox TV
(28:57):
and this Saturday on Fox TV. College football is number
four Ohio State at number three Penn State noon Eastern time.
Penn State quarterback Drew Allar could be a game time
decision this weekend with a knee injury. In one of
the NBA late games, Phoenix came back to defeat the
Lakers final of one oh nine to one oh five.
Lakers were up twenty six to eight early in this game.
(29:18):
Lebron James finished three of fourteen shooting from the floor,
but at least got to double digit scoring, so that
streak is still going one thy two hundred and twenty
six games in a row double digit scoring. He's played
about fifteen hundred games in his NBA career, so this
streak goes back to early in his career. Dallas one
ten one oh two over Utah, even though Luka Donsich
(29:41):
of the bas was five of twenty two from the floor,
Sacramento and Chicago with wins, Houston and Denver with wins.
That Nuggets victory was in overtime at Toronto Nicola Jokic
with forty points and at Orlando Paulo Benko fifty points
in a magic win against Indiana one nineteen one fifteen
Golden State. Steph Curry will miss at least two games
(30:02):
with a sprained ankle, and among the NHL games, Vegas
won the Lake Contest five nothing over Calgary, Winnipeg was
eight to o. It lost against Toronto six to four,
and San Jose was winless seven and two. It got
a win in overtime five to four at Utah despite
trailing four to one with under five minutes left in regulation.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Wait they played the Jazz.
Speaker 6 (30:23):
It's just Utah Hockey Club for the entire season they're
gonna get a nickname and have the poll with the
fans for all of that. Maybe it'll be the Blizzard
or the Yetie or whatever they choose. But it's just
Utah Hockey Club this year.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
Back to you.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Thank you, Steve the Jason smithser with Mike Carmen lockethty
Rock dot Com Studios.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
You just wait. You just wait till tomorrow, ladies and gentlemen,
the rat Pack. You just wait coming up, coming up.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Why you may have seen the last of Daniel Jones
as quarterback for the New York Giants.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
What whoa whoa whoa whoa what it's It's wow. He's
just you just may have seen him. He's still gonna
be flat day. You just I mean that was symbolic, right.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
You may have seen him play for the Giants for
the last time tonight. Plus something that's not been said
about Sho Hey o Tani and the playoffs. Mean, both
of those things we finished with a flourish, just like
Brenda and Eddie when they had had it already by
the summer of seventy five. That's next right here, Jason
(31:36):
and Mike Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
I don't like twirking.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
We had Fat Joe's sing a song and it didn't
go well. So tomorrow nighty will be me singing.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
Now, Oh, this is worse than Fat Joe is.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Good.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Stop, I'm freelancing and free styling, and I'm freestyling.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Well the hell is.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific. My favorite part.
Speaker 5 (32:16):
About the performance by Fat Joe is for him pointing
out to the outfield of where Freddy's ball landed.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
It's gonna be right there, whoever's there, You're gonna catch
a souvenir.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
Congratulations. What a loser.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Yet Fat Joe less than equal to or less than
ice Cube? I would I would say that ice Cube
definitely than Fat Joe. Again, but Ben, when Billy Joel
does scenem fro an Italian restaurant tomorrow, it's going to
be very exciting.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
Yeah, but no, we overlay the Fat Joe point. I mean,
Frostburg's got him for the Freeman home run. Now we
add you know, Babe Ruth into there. I guess part
of it also because people were making fun of his
size and weight.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Whatever.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
Yeah, no, is it kind of like Jonah Hill and
Kevin James when they weren't funny when they got in shape.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Oh yes, you lost your edge. Oh wait back on? Oh okay, great,
what's what the boots was? He was he coming from
like a hiking trip, but leaving public transportation to walk
up that did. Sometimes you have to get there, you.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Run it up on the hill. I mean, what are
you gonna do really quick?
Speaker 1 (33:21):
We'll do Otani first, then get to Daniel Jones. Uh
Otani was asked, ye, look tonight, he didn't not. He
didn't quite look the same. The slight shoulder separation that
he suffered in Game two. It looked like he had
some trouble swinging the bat.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
Maybe he's not.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
I mean, I'm just saying this is not anything I've heard,
but maybe he gets arrest and he's out of the
lineup tomorrow though the Dodgers trying to win the World Series?
Speaker 3 (33:42):
Can you really rest him?
Speaker 1 (33:44):
He was asked about the possibility of surgery in the
offseason following the game tonight. He said, well, there'd be
a lot of testing going on and then we'll see
where we're at. But I'm gonna go a step further
I'm wondering if Otani's not banged up a little bit
more than he was even pro to this, because you
know the focus at all. He tried to steal second base,
(34:04):
and and and and he got hurt. This is a
guy that stole almost sixty bases this year and he
is not stolen a base the entire playoffs. He's only
tried to steal a base twice. He's been on base
a lot, right, Yes, his stats don't look great for
this because he's been he's been walked twelve times, been
walked once once a game since the playoffs started, he's
been on base, and yet he's only tried to steal
(34:26):
a base twice. This is a guy that was stealing
with reckless abandon and I don't think suddenly they told
him stop stealing bases in the playoffs. I don't know,
but there's it's something weird about him and why he's
not been able to be a little bit more cause
more havoc on the base paths because it's what he's done.
He didn't he even take big leads like when he
would get on first base against the metsicle he's gonna
(34:47):
steal second, He's gonna have a lead and Alonso's not
even holding him on and he's only a few Like
I'm wondering, is is he banged up?
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Is he unable to run at at at the normal?
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Gate that he has a normal way he has, because
it doesn't make sense why he would he'd only try
to steal two bases over the course of the past
fifteen games.
Speaker 4 (35:05):
See you zigged where I thought you were gonna zag.
I thought you were gonna say. Was he just stat
padding in the regular season on a Dodger team en
route to a ninety eight win season.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Almost sixty base And this is not like, hey he's
still twenty five b He's still sixty bases.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
Man.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
That's It's like you're one of the two elite base
stealers in the game and you don't steal a base
in the playoffs?
Speaker 3 (35:26):
Come on, as I mean, if you had the video overlay,
they were like flames around me. I'm great. I mean,
it's like that guy asking Aaron Boone's question one team.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
But no.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
But I think it's a legit question you questioned. I
guess from the aggressiveness and the strategy standpoint, maybe you
don't fearing you're gonna run yourself out of an inning
when the runs are at a premium.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
I'm like trying to figure out all the different parts
of the art you attempted. But I think I think
there might be something back.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
When he's thrown out twice and thrown out both times,
I mean there's I don't know, man, I wonder so
now his legs are affected, I wonder if something back
and look and he has to take big leads.
Speaker 5 (36:08):
Yes, all right, should worry about Aaron Rodgers and the
damn Jets.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
On the show, we noticed what he's doing. He's soft shooting.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
You think, of course he's doing that. We have plenty
of time for Aaron Rodgers. It's going to be a
week Jets funeral because.
Speaker 5 (36:22):
That crazy LA sports team stat beginning of the show.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Yeah yeah, yeah, Okay that the first LA team to lose
in the last five days a Lakers tonight.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
Yeah, but I got to follow up to that.
Speaker 5 (36:32):
Okay, New York City is the first metro area to
lose a game in MLB, MLS, NBA at NFL on
the same day.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
Where you go, so advantage LA all over New York.
I think he's flipping you off as a standard. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
But now let's get to Daniel Jones a bit, because look,
Monday Night Football tonight, we talked about the Russell Wilson
aspect of the Steelers, and look, the offense looks kind
of the same. But for Daniel Jones, I would not
be surprised if this was his last game as a
Giants quarterback. He threw a bad interception and the game
that was awful. He got the ball knocked out of
(37:09):
his hands for a fumble on the possession before it
and the fourth quarter of the Giants had two chances
to tie the game, and Daniel Jones gave him away,
didn't protect the football because TJ. Watt's able to come
right up to him and paw it out of his hands,
and then he throws a really bad pick, overthrowing Devin
Singletary and the Giants lose. They're two and six. They
didn't make any big changes in this season because they
(37:31):
knew if the Giants stunk this year, it's gonna be
new GM, new head coach, new quarterback. We don't want
to saddle a new GM and head coach with if
we trade up for JJ McCarthy and maybe he's not
the GM and.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
The head coaches guy.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
So they came in with this being their team, right,
and if the Giants stink, it'll be new GM, new
head coach, new quarterback. But Daniel Jones has twenty five
million dollars of his contract guaranteed for injury for next year.
You know the Giants are not going forward with him.
They will figure out this money. This is not even
Russell Wilson Bronco's money. They will figure out this money.
(38:02):
But how much longer can they really afford to go
before you worry about if he gets hurt and we're
on the hook for twenty five million dollars of his
money next year? The answer is none. And I know
it's a short week, but you're two and six and
the season is over. Can you really risk Daniel Jones
going out there again? I would not be surprised if
in the next week it's gonna be Drew Locke, and
(38:25):
then after Drew Locke for all Tommy Cutlets will we'll
get the NOD in December, so at least it could
be a fun December of maybe Tommy Cutlet's get some
magic going on. But I really can't see Daniel Jones
playing for the Giants again. Now that they're two and
six and the season's over, they're gonna have to protect
themselves against what their future is. And their future was
always next year. And you don't want to be on
(38:46):
the hook for Daniel Jones getting hurt and having to
pay him twenty five million dollars.
Speaker 4 (38:49):
The out on the contract, the dead cap hit taking
a look at it is about twenty two million. So
there's your savings three million dollars just like that injury
guarantee versus bang. And you're gonna draft a quarterback, so
you reset all of that. You've got Tracy and Neighbors,
two nice pieces to start your offense. Gonna need to
work on the offensive line. It was a turnstile at times.
(39:12):
That fumble that he had when TJ. Watt just walked
in on the right tackle, Come on, that was embarrassing. Okay,
literally just guided Tjah Yeah, TJ Watt right into him, just.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
Putting, oh, there's the football. Like, how you go forward
with that with Daniel Jones? I know that you can.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
I really don't.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
