because yes, Miami loses number two team in the country,
previously undefeated. They're going down to defeat number twenty five Nebraska.
(01:13):
Hey having a great season. Matt Rule could be leaving
for Penn State. Well, not after tonight losing to Minnesota
twenty four to six, late in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
One hundred and seventy two yards for Mahomes.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Yeah, yeah, pre Ducks. Sometimes the cosplay Mahomes is Mahomes.
Sometimes it's not quite Mahomes.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
No, not quite. I think the odds on unrule leaving
for Penn State probably dipping as the game goes.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
But I was supposed to go to Penn State. He's
on the field going Penn State man, linebacker, You don't
you understand this? Royola's going out. I know you're talking. Coach,
Just get out of my face. Penn State man.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Come on, mean PJ Flights runnerund yelling.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Row the boat been hey yeah, oh, he's absolutely rowing
the boat tonight twenty four to six. You know. The
funny thing is one of my really good friends that
I coached saw with for a long time. His daughter Zoe,
played together. He went to Minnesota and we that became
a thing on our team. One year. I would just
keep saying, come on, row the boat, row the boat,
and his daughter. I don't know what that means. I
ask your dad and he goes, come on, Jojo just
(02:14):
row the boat, row the boat. So she would make
a good play and then she would make a row
the boat motion. Has no idea why she was doing it.
Row the boat, Row the boat, row the boat. Oh
it was great. It's still to this day. Has no idea,
no idea. But the history we are talking about tonight.
What's happening at Dodger Stadium right now? The Dodgers are
(02:34):
going to the ninth inning with a five to one
lead over the Brewers. They are three outs away from
the World Series. Anthony Banda comes in and ends the
Brewers somewhat tepid rally. They get a run on a
double playgrounder that is just beat out. Blake Trynon gets
out of most of the damage that he created himself,
(02:55):
but Banda comes in, gets out of the inning with
a ground ball back to him. Dodgers go to the
ninth inning five to one. I assume you will see
Roki Sasaki for the ninth he was up in the pen.
In fact, if Banda put another runner on, I'm sure
we're gonna see Sasaki at that point. But four run
lead for the Dodgers going to the ninth inning. The
story of this, the story of the night. Sho Hey
(03:16):
Otani tonight, six innings pitch for the Dodgers, two hits,
ten strikeouts. At the plate, three for three with three
home runs, including a home run that was hit out
of the stadium that landed near the team store, which
is at the edge of the You walk out again,
you walk out of the parking lot into the team store,
(03:36):
and that's where Otani hit the home run too. I
told you that's where my dad and I would had
nachos last year in the NLCS. We were there before
the game. We're there, we had lunch. It was an
unbelievable day, and Otani hit a home run there over
the roof behind this. It's again, we talked about this
all last hour and it can't talk enough about it.
It's the single greatest night you've seen in the playoffs
(03:57):
in baseball history. No one's ever had a game like this.
Hitting only eleven guys who ever had three home runs
in a playoff game before. That would be enough, but
you add what he's done on the mound, it's easy
to blow off great and and say, yeah, we've seen
this from Otani a lot, But I'm telling you, man,
you have a better likelihood of seeing Haley's comment than
you have of seeing another game like this in the
(04:18):
Major League Baseball playoffs, and Aley's comment showed up inteen
nineteen eighty six. I think it's coming back again sometime
in the twenty sixties. You get a better chance to
seeing Haley's comment again that you haven't seen in a
game like even though Otani is still playing like this
is even for Otani three for three, ten strikeouts, all
of this, even this is some kind of night for
the best player any of us have.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Ever seventy five or seventy six year cycle. According to
the the wiki Funnily execs where mid mid twenty sixty one.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Yeah, but sometimes it's like between like it can change
its trajectory a little bit. So I think the best
thing what I what I read is that scientists say, well,
it's every seventy two to.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Eighty years, Okay, we'll just like wetch a twenty fifty
eight and then no, that there's a little bit of
plus or minus going on.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Yeah, they go, it's like when you get on a
plane in the and the pilot says, uh, so we
have a good tailwind with us today, and so we're
gonna get you into the airport in Detroit about forty
five minutes early. So looking at the eight oh seven
departure and the eleven oh one arrival time, flight attendants,
please pray for take off.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
And even if you end up sitting on the tarmac
for three hours thereafter, I got you in early.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Hey, make sure, Hey, make sure. Give me a good
yell p review, Good yell review, good yell review.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Jason bad. Spirit Airlines would hire you.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Spirit Airlines would hire anybody. They would say, do you
know how to drive?
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Yeah, that's what I mean. Yeah. Do you know how
to drive a car? Yeah? Okay, a plane is pretty easy.
Just can you show up tomorrow? We need you to fly.
We go overseas. We need to go to Belgium. Take
a direct flight to Belgia.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
And I'm on a plane next week. I do I
forget who I'm flying with.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Don't do this.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Jason's possibly problems.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Ladies and gentlemen. This is Jason Smith. I'm your pilot.
Blank you if you hate the Mets. Blank you harmon
sitting all the way in the back. Hey, anybody uh
passing by? Mike Carwon He's the guy in the purple
shorts and the backwards bears hat, just to flick his
ear as you're walking by, because you know he doesn't
like to sleep on plane, so just you know, maybe
you want to tweak his nose to a little bit too.
That's I remember the guy in the purple shorts all
(06:15):
the way in the back prepre for take.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
On as a back of the plane guy, Mike, Yeah,
because I like to be left alone. Yeah, I'll go
to the back of the plane.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
I don't care he'll he'll sleep in the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
I go to sleep as soon as the plane as
soon as as soon as I sit down and the
engines rev up, I'm done. It's a it's a Pavlovian
experiment gone a muck. Anything could happen on that plane.
We can have snakes on a plane. I'm not waking up.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Oh, I don't know. I think you'd wake up for
snakes on a plane.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
I mean, if Samuel L. Jackson were yelling and cursing
at me, the likelihood would really raise up there. But otherwise,
so you're I'm an expert sleeper on a plane.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Get those Michael Harmon snakes off.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
You hear this, Jason, I heard that, Yeah, we'd have
to go somewhere as a group. And since that's the
odds of that are longer than I don't know, Oh,
Johnny replicating this performance, You.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Know I should, but it's a positivity Fridays. I'll tell
the story before we started dating, all right, when when
I first met No no, no, no, no, not me in armity. Yeah,
spoiler alert went. But when we first knew each other
before we started dating, when we were friends. We were
friends for a little while and then we started dating.
Speaker 3 (07:27):

And I look and I go, what the hell is?

what to do now because I'm really mad, but I

should do with this. But how mad should I really be?
I know, I don't know what's the what's the what's
(09:11):
the proportion I should be mad with? With how much
I like her? I don't know. So I I forget
how I played it. But man, I rode that. I
rode the line. I rode the lightning between being really
mad and just going, yeah, well pad did it's I'm okay.

I'm not feeling good. Let's just say right, I am
not feeling good because you know, being overserved, and around
eleven o'clock in the morning. It's like, you know what,
(09:59):
I'm gonna get sick and I go in the bathroom
and so I'm like, oh, one of the bathroom's like okay, good,
nobody's here. And I get sick and I'm like okay,
and then I'm like, wow, now I feel markedly better. Yeah,
boot really feel better. Okay great. So I'm like all right, good.
And the best part was nobody knew right because I'm
like okay, because I went in the bathroom, nobody was there.
I come out of the bathroom, nobody was there. I'm like, oh, awesome, man,
(10:21):
I'm chewing gum like crazy, you know, from my bread.
All right, great? Great, great great great. So the whole
day oh no, no, no, come, it's no. It's it's
one of those you know the people. Now there's four uh,
there's four bathroom, there's four urinoals and stuff stalls and
stuff not. I just got sick and flushed. That was fine.
There was never anything anywhere. I didn't get anything anywhere.
(10:41):
So I get sick and I come out and I'm
like okay, great, and it's like five o'clock and we're
all we're getting ready to be done for the day.
I'm like, okay, I'm going home and I'm going to
sleep because I am exhausted all this, And all of
a sudden, Mike McNulty was his name, right, all of
a sudden, he comes walking up to me and he
points to me. He goes, you, and I go what.
And he was a guy I worked with, and like, yeah,
I'm like what. I'm like, okay, something happened. What happened
(11:02):
during the show you. He goes, I've been looking for
those shoes all day, that was you, And I go, oh,
come on, man, okay. So he came in, look heard
me getting sick, looked down at I saw my shoes
whatever I would wear, memorize them, and then was looking
for them all day, Like I went to find who
was that throwing up? Who was that getting sick? Just
(11:22):
look at everybody's shoes, I'm sure walking around all they go,
I've been looking for those shoes all day. Oh great,
thanks a lot.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
The hell's wrong with that guy?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I know, I thought I had I thought I thought
I got away with it. It was like the end
of Oceans twelve. Thought I got away with it. Yeah,
And then it realized it's just a bad movie. I
just thought I got away with it.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Man, Wait, what was a bad movie?
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Ocean's twelve? How dare you the Ocean twelve?
Speaker 5 (11:46):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (11:46):
It grows upon man. They go through the whole thing,
and then suddenly at the end, Oh no, we're gonna
get in a fake fight on a train and that's
how we're got Come on, Come on Red. It was
so real.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
I felt like I was there in the bleachers, like,
how is back in nineteen ninety eight?
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Okay, I want to know that. How does the guy
get the well, I forget it was so bad? How
does the guy get what thereafter? How does he get
through the different lasers when there's no pattern? How do
how does he dance his way through when there's absolutely
no pattern and it's random. He's gonna get tagged by
the laser, gonna tell people he's there. But somehow, with
(12:23):
no pattern, he's able to make it all the way through.
That makes no sense.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Can you not just go with a little bit of
suspension of belief here? I mean, you watch a lot
of sci fi, you read a lot of sci fi,
you love John Wick. I mean, how's that guy not
defeated with the number of people coming at him?
Speaker 1 (12:40):
I mean, come on, he's got a bulletproof suit that
looks just like a regular suit, which is awesome because the.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Budgets and none of these guys can find the headshot.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Come on, we didn't we.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Didn't have to build any kind of suit. Now we're
just gonna say it's bulletproof. Oh, that's awesome. We're gonna
save money on that.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Yeah, he doesn't special costume.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Yeah, that was a that was That was a tough day. Man,
that's a tough day.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Hey, Mary Hart's still there.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
I mean, well leave, Are you leaving a game where
shoe Heyo Tani's having the greatest Save your tickets if
you have paper tickets for this game, save your tickets.
Save you are to save everything from this game. I mean,
if if I'm Major League Baseball, I want something from
this game for the Hall of Fame. I mean, you
got to, like, whether it's his cleats, uh, there's something
you got to get from show Heyo Tani.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
This should be the only exhibit. They should take everything
else out.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
They should just have him stay there and just tell
people the story, Like him and his interpreter there and
they're just telling the story of what happened. This day.
He doesn't have to play baseball ever. Again. They give
him all kinds of money to stay there at Cooperstown
and just tell the story of what he did on
this day, just over express a button. He just tells
it over and over again. We're going to the bottom
of the ninth inning again. The Dodgers are three outs
away from the World Series, and we continue to break
(13:50):
down show Heyo Tani and the single greatest night a
player's had in playoff history in Major League Baseball, all
the way back to the late eighteen hundreds, when there
is only three bases, no one's had a game like
show Hao Tani has had tonight. It's been absolutely insane.
So again, we'll have more on this eventually. We will
(14:12):
get to what happened to the Alcs, but do we
really need to? And our Big Football Friday preview, we
talked about what happened in Miami last hour. Bill Belichick
is getting it going right now, already losing in the

It is over at Chavez Ravine. The start works are
going on. The Dodgers are heading to the World Series.
They had defeated the Brewers five to one. Rookie Sasaki
comes into the ninth inning, gives up a base hit,
gets the next three batters out. Now Billy Jean King
is on the field hugging show Hey Otani as the
(16:20):
Dodgers are taking pictures putting on National League Champion t shirts,
and Otani is celebrating a game that again, nobody in
the history of Major League Baseball has had a game
like this, absolute history. Tonight, six innings pitched, two hits,
allowed ten strikeouts, three for three at the plate, with
(16:41):

Speaker 2 (17:16):
Oh my goodness, show, Oh Tony.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Whoa up and.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Over the roof, a majestic blast. Oh Tony jumped, jumped
everywhere and it's fo to nothing.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Dodgers TBS on the call. Yes, homered over the roof
And when you think about it, if you haven't seen
it yet, I mean, look, you're gonna see it forever
over the course.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
The next one, you can see it just from the
crack of the bat. It's like that had a microphone
on it.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
It was. You see the the bleachers in the outfield
for the Dodgers, and there is a little mini roofs
over the bleachers, you know, to keep people cool because
you know it's hot there. There's also a row where
people sit on stools to face the stadium, so it's
kind of a nice it's nice seat there behind that
(18:14):
is a picnic area where you know, there's a lot
of food vendors right behind that area of the stadium.
My dad and again, my dad and I had lunch
there before the NLCS twice last year before the games,
and we had a great time. So you are pretty
far away from the stadium, right, I mean you go
from that area where you're seated, and then right across
(18:35):
from the area where you're seated is the big Team store. Right,
that's what that that area of Dodger Stadium looks like.
And Shoho Tani hid it into the area where guys
can you And I said, my dad and I had nachos,
had lunch there, And Steve Di Sager brought us the
story all last hour that the guy who got the
ball was a guy that happened to look up who
was sitting eating nachos. He was sitting in the picnic area. Hey,
(18:56):
I'm gonna get a home run?
Speaker 3 (18:58):
How jealous are you?
Speaker 5 (19:00):
Man?
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Are you kidding? I would have caught that with my helmet,
with nachos. I would have held it and I would
have never moved it, and I would have shellacked it,
and I would have said that this is that ball
oh no, no, no, no, no, no, dude, that's too valuable.
I would have no, dude, I would have held that
and shellacked it. Made a lot of money. And I
had just gone and bought another thing, a helmet, nachos.
(19:21):
I'dan come on, they just I just go and get
another one of those for twenty bucks. But that thing.
Think about how famous that would have been if I
caught that in a helmet, right that let it land,
didn't move it. This is where the ball was, and
again you shall keep it there, and I would sell it.
I would make I don't know, what do you think
if I did that? Harmon? What do you think someone
would pay for that? What would they're your rebellion on this?
Speaker 3 (19:42):
No?
Speaker 1 (19:42):
No, no, in my helmet, my helmet, nachos shell act
with the ball in it, where I landed, where it
caught it. What would somebody pay for that?
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Well, it has the the lace imprint and your tail.
I mean you could probably sue somebody saying it traumatized
you because it splatted your cheese or something. Oh that's
the only now, because if you don't have the ball,
you got nothing. You gotta put a story the ball
I catch.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Yeah, that's what I mean. That's the helmet nachos. That's okay,
the ball's not going anywhere, that's fine.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
You can get the cheese. Uh off it. I wonder
if he got great over time that's or is it
like a McDonald's burger that forever?
Speaker 1 (20:24):
No harmon? Like I said, I shellack it and I
make it where.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Okay, you don't want to shellack it. That ruins the
stop saying.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Yeah, Shellack's a great word. I just love you that.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
With commemorative balls, right because I threw a couple of uh,
you know, no hitters when I was younger or whatever.
H and then would get everybody to sign the ball
and then the shellack it and you get this weird
ass brown orange whatever thing, and like that's not a baseball?
Speaker 1 (20:48):
What did you do with I gotta do something to
preserve it because I can't just let it sit there
in the nachos and the cheese and I'm somewhere where
so it's not you know where.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
You take it to the cleaner, like that guy that
was on that episode of Las Vegas.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Take it to the cleaner.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
You gotta find the cleaner. But I mean the guy
I want to I want to track his whereabouts though,
is Otani as they were showing him before he was
taking the interviews, he took his jersey off and handed
it to somebody. We got to protect that man, because
that's a multi hundred thousand dollars jersey right there.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Or is that jer is that? Is that going to
the Hall of Fame? Is that where the jersey is? Hey,
we're taking this jersey. We're taking it to the Hall
of Fame. Will you give it to the Hall of Fame?
And yeah, sure, no problem whatever.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Yeah, this is one of the most ridiculous things ever.
Now they're posing for their their picture. Everybody's got their
commemorative merch on. All the celebrities are on the field.
I mean it's it's really something. And now me one
helmet nachos.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Billy Jean King got on that field really fast, like
to hug show. Heyotime, like, wow, I was fat business
on the field. Yeah, but I mean still she got
on the field. That's fine.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Hey, you get to go wherever you want.

Hey you're Billy Jean King. Yeah you've got some ownership rights.
How you doing.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
I'm part of the group that didn't pay your deferred
salary congratulations.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Hey, Billy Jeane, you know they're gonna come to you
in ten years when Otani has to start getting paid.
Just so you know, right, you have to cut a
big check to him. Just say he's only two million now,
but it's gonna be these.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Buddies without John's you might be able to shake a
couple of pianos or something out of him.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
All right, Frostburg has Otani trivia for us right now
after this night. He owns major League Baseball, He owns
the Sporting World. Frostburg, what he got?
Speaker 5 (22:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:32):
He show Hey became the third player ever to clear
the right field pavilion at Dodger Stadium. Name the other two?
Speaker 5 (22:41):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Okay, well one I know one I know because one
was Kyle Schwarber. Right, Kyle Kyle Schwarber. Oh boy, who
is a lucky swing?
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Oh man, if I can read his eyes? Okay, Steve
knows other guys have hitted out right McGuire and Stanton,
but not out of the right field.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Okay, so they're in the right field pavilion. Well, I
gotta give me a decade, Give me a decade. Who

Speaker 3 (23:30):
Willy Stargell, Willie.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Willie Stargell, very good, Mike Harmon, very nu.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
I want to tollbox hat you google it like?
Speaker 2 (23:37):
No, I didn't.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
I'm watching a guy that's one of our friends on
Twitter is holding up a paper that says pain on it,
making fun of the Brewers.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
So there, I think Steve Disager told Harmon. I think
Dissagre painted it on his chest and took his shirt
off and showed Harmon, and Harmon and Harmon said, oh,
Willie Stargell, that's who it is. That's really starge that's.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
An educated guest right there. Really put had to take
it into a creepy kind of can just say, hey,
Steve held up a sign.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
No, Steve Stevens pulls his shirt, writes Willy Stargell, and
Sharpie another riding on the skin and Sharpie segment here.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
And Steve was doing the full on batting stance and
Willie Stargell to help.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Oh was he doing the whole thing? Oh? Yeah, I love.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Well No, because I originally interpreted it that he was
going to continue by doing the elbow twitch, which he
did not, But that's how I interpreted that as the
next part of his interpreted dance.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Again an absolutely historic night. I hope you got to
see it. I really hope you got to see some
of it, because we're again, we're never going to see
this again. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Now on the local Fox News, they're they're going and
they've got some some drunk Dodger fans coming out of
the stadium. This won't end well.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
No, I think it'll one fine, the Dodgers won I
think it's gonna.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Be You don't think there's gonna be someone that comes
up there with a bunch of blankety blanks and blank us.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Oh wait, Now, are we going to get an entertaining
newscast or we're gonna be trouble?
Speaker 5 (25:03):
Like?
Speaker 1 (25:04):
I mean, there's a difference there.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
You're gonna have trouble right there in River City.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Like if like if Kurt Sandoval from ABC seven is
out there and all of a sudden you hear a
blankety blanketty blaket. It's like, Okay, that's kind of entertaining.
I'm not saying I'm not condoning that. I'm just saying
there's a difference between that and if absolutely you know, hey,
we get something bad happening there.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
No, that's that's a lot of folks to come come
wandering by. And as as we know, there's been a
lot of back and forth between fans in this series,
folks getting banned for life from different stadium. But right now,
a lot of very happy uh U four Dodger fans
trying to figure out how they can afford Game one.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
I mean, an unbelievable night and look, and that's the
thing for the Dodgers right just to think about this
for a second. We talked about it this week. The
two biggest the only concerns I have for them going
forward are their defense, but more importantly, they're gonna get
a bounce starting pitching. Right. They're not gonna be like
they gave up one run in every game to the Brewers,
(26:00):
scored four runs in the entire National League Championship Series.
You're not gonna get the totality of pitching you got
from Snell and Yamamoto and Glass, Snow and Otani. Now
you may get it from one or two guys, but
to see that again not gonna happen, right. It reminds
me a lot of the twenty fifteen Mets who did
this in the NLCS to the Cubs. They get to
(26:20):
the World Series, they get a little bit of a bounce.
Not suddenly they're starting pitching terribly, but they didn't pitch
like as dominant they did the NLCS. Their defense wasn't great.
The Royals win the World Series, so that that's a
big concern for the Dodgers. Are you gonna get this
kind of pitching? Probably not, you're gonna get a bounce. However,
the Dodge had not been hitting throughout the entire NLCS.
(26:40):
They have been scraping by with these games. Look getting
clutch hits and getting the hits, and that's great, but
it's not like they're winning these games going away. It's
not six nothing, six to one, seven to one, five
to one, nine to one. It's two to one, three
to one. And even tonight you sweated a little bit
late because the Brewers were able to get a couple
of runners on in the eighth inning, a couple of
runners on in the seventh.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Thing, you can keep it, that's it.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Yeah, I mean so you still had a little bit
of nervousness. But Otani with three home runs, it's infectious.
The thing the thing to worry about if I say, hey,
there's your there's your worry for the Dodgers, something that
will eat even that out the Yin and Yanga baseball
is maybe they're going to really start hitting now, because
maybe this is when their bats come alive, because they're
too good a team to be scoring two and three
(27:22):
runs a game, right, because the other thing hit too
well to have this going on.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
To go back to the al teams while there is
sluggerville from either of them, right, we've got the heavy
hitters for Seattle. There may be fewer than than Toronto,
but all in they've been inconsistent, not to the level
where you're at this concern as there was with the Dodgers.
But all of that to say, pitching wins, right, and
(27:49):
if you can get through two times in the batting
order before you got to start looking at the pen,
you're feeling pretty good. And the way of the starting
pitching is rolling up right now, they didn't pitch heavy innings.
The only guy that really pitched every fifth day was Yamamoto.
Everybody else is what one hundred hundred and twenty innings
coming into the playoffs and what they've done in these
(28:10):
first couple of rounds. So you've got the opportunity. Now
there are limited inventory available for home game one here
in Los Angeles. Would you like to guess if you
wanted to buy a single seat, what you're getting is
down the right field line.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Oh, get in down the right field because you can.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Buy this directly from the Dodgers website.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Okay, get in down the right field line. I'm gonna
say sixteen hundred dollars. Oh you overshot? I did. Okay, nine.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Dollars plus ninety six dollars in fees, So you're in
for just over one thousand. You sell a Jason, you
can get sixteen hundred. Well, no, that's just it. He
set the market. No, he said he's gonna pay the line. Hey,
he said he played sixteen. Yeah, but all of that
to say, it's one of those things I was trying
to try to talk with folks. We get into the
(29:02):
pricing structures of a lot of these things. Is that
important to you. It's once in a lifetime. You'll figure
it out.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Yeah, you'll find out a way time out to find
out what's trending in the wide world of sports. From
a man who's been called the David Putty of Fox
Sports Radio. Is he wearing an eight ball jacket? He
won't paint his face, but he'll paint his chest. Tell
you Willie Stargell hit that home run. It's steve to
say that.
Speaker 6 (29:24):
And I won't be shouting devils at your car either.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Down We're the devil. We're the devil.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
The Dodgers have advanced in the World Series for the
fifth time in the last nine years. They were a
pretty good home team regular season fifty two and twenty nine.
Speaker 6 (29:39):
They've only lost one at home in these playoffs.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
Frankly, they've only lost one game so far in these
playoffs nine and one record. They close out the NLCS
with a four game sweep of the Brewers.
Speaker 6 (29:52):
Five to one.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
Tonight's final, guys, we have to say again out loud,
because I don't think history will remember this. The Milwaukee
brew were seated number one overall. This was the best
team in baseball in the regular season ninety seven wins
and then against these four Dodger starting pitchers, including Otani, tonight,
the Brewers were held to one run in each of
(30:16):
the four games of this series.
Speaker 6 (30:18):
Wow the wind a pitcher show Hey.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
Otani started off the night walking the leadoff man, then
got three straight strikeouts top of the first, led off
as a batter with a home run in the bottom
of the first it went nearly four hundred and fifty feet.
He also had a walk and a couple of more
homers at the plate tonight. In fact, in the bottom
of the fourth, when he belted one out, it went
(30:40):
over the roof in right field at Dodger Stadium, estimated
to go about four hundred and seventy feet, and to
cap it off bottom of the seventh inning, Otani's homer
to center field went over four to twenty five.
Speaker 6 (30:52):
A three homer.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
Game as his team clinches a spot in the World Series,
and on the mound, he strikes out ten in six
plus innings. This has to be the greatest individual performance
in the history of the postseason of Major League Baseball.
Reggie Jackson is on the list somewhere. Three homer game
to clinch the World Series. He did not pitch that night.
Speaker 6 (31:17):
This is astounding what we saw this evening.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
Six plus innings, no runs allowed, just two hits allowed,
while he not only had three hits as a bat
or all three went out of the park. The Brewers
franchise has now lost eleven straight postseason games on the road.
Speaker 6 (31:33):
The record is twelve.
Speaker 4 (31:35):
And by the way, the great Sarah Langs points out
that sho Hey Otani literally one year ago Tonight also
homered off Jose Quintana in the NLCS when he was
in a Mets uniform. He was a losing pitcher for
the Brewers. Tonight had a strained calf mid September had
barely pitched since then. He lasted two plus innings, three
runs allowed.
Speaker 6 (31:56):
Tonight.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
Otani one of the rare guys to have a three
homer game in the postseason. The only other guy to
do that from the leadoff spot in a playoff game
with George Brett nineteen seventy eight. But to have the
pitcher at the plate get three homers completely unprecedented. So
the Dodgers are the first reigning World Series champ to
make it back to the World Series the next year
(32:19):
since the Phillies in two thousand and nine, longest such
stretch in postseason history.
Speaker 6 (32:25):
And it's been said before the last time we had anybody.
Speaker 4 (32:28):
Take back to back titles in the World Series it
was when Derek Cheater and the Yankees won three straight
through the year two thousand. That is also the longest
current drought without a repeat champion in Major League Baseball.
Seattle could be the opponent the Mariners with a magical
bottom of the eighth at home tonight. If there was
(32:48):
a roof on their joint, it would have blown off.
They beat Toronto six' to two with a five run
bottom of the eighth Col rawley tying solo homer grand
slam For Henneo, suarez who also hit a solo shot
in the. Second his slam came after two walks and
a hit better for The Blue, JAYS Dh George springer
(33:09):
left hit by a pitch on the. KNEE x rays were,
negative so that's some good news and they're off. Tomorrow
game six Is sunday night In toronto ON fs. One

(36:51):
gonna be a team that kind of meanders around five
hundred a game a game over at five hundred game,
under game, over two games, over one game. Over that's
gonna be run for The chiefs this year because the
rest of THE afc is too, young it's too talented
the rest of the, teams and The chiefs are showing, you,
yeah they're getting. Old. NOW i will say this, though
(37:11):
for The chiefs right. NOW i know we've talked a
lot About Baker mayfield potentially being THE, mvp which again
we had that conversation like two weeks, ago so congratulations
to everybody who said that in the last. Week BUT
i got news for, you. Man you want to talk
about a guy who might be THE NFL mvp because
he is doing absolutely everything for his, Team that might Be.
(37:31):
Mahomes his running has become so. Dangerous he's gonna lead
the team in rushing this. Year he does so much
Like mayfield is territ. RIGHT i, mean you're talking about
splitting hair at the top of the league With mayfield
And darnold and other guys who were. There But mahomes
is doing absolutely everything keeping this team afloat without, weapons
knowing full, well that what he's got going. On there's
(37:52):
no running. Game there's really not a lot of guys
throw the football. TOO i Think Carlos carson caught a
couple of posses last. Week But i'll tell you, what,
man you talk as someone who was doing so much
for his team and doing, Everything mahomes might be THE
mvp of THE nfl right.
Speaker 3 (38:08):
Now two hundred and twenty two rushing, yards four, touchdowns
already eleven touchdowns against two, picks sixty five percent completion,
rate already at fifteen hundred yards, passing and they're just getting.
Healthier as it relates to the ENTIRE, AFC i, mean
who do you really? TRUST i like The indianapolis. Squads
they've beating a bunch of. Bums you can like beat
who's on the, schedule but there'll be a step up
(38:29):
in class at some. Point DO i Trust Trevor? Lawrence, no,
no thank. You in The, west if The chargers can
get healthy and whatever they need to get From Kyrie
irving or whatever shaman to get the demons out from
that that training, room then maybe they got a. Shot And,
DENVER i don't know THAT i trust their. Offense when
(38:51):
the chips are you, know when it's all push pushing
at the center of the table kind of moment the
rest of the squads that are at the. TOP i
mean you Hate Aaron. RODGERS i mean you just. DO i,
mean it's just not your. Guy especially after he was
assaulted by his offensive. Lineman he got mad like.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
That he was not happy about.
Speaker 4 (39:11):
That, man he was not.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
Happy you see me THAT.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
I reference though of him playing on the ground with
that chin strap in disarray became a big. Deal but
THE afc is there for the, taking and there's a
lot of rumblings about them going and finding another running
back before the, deadline so this could be real. Interesting but,
Yes mahomes YOUR mvp. Leader AND i think on our
little board in the studio, THERE i think someone might
(39:37):
have Written mahomes as THE.
Speaker 1 (39:38):

sneaking suspicion The jets become a one win team After sunday,

seems like a trap game And vegas knows. Something Bryce
young is gonna get swallowed. Up The jets defense is pissed.
Off they played incredibly well last. WEEK i Know carolina
is riding, high but The jets defense is a bad
matchup For carolina's. Offense even With Rico dowdell running the
(40:24):
ball the way he, is The jets will run it all,
day and and and and it's gonna be a, huge huge.
Thing they become a team now with one win and
nobody has no losses in THE.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
Nfl The lions team that that went. Winless do they
pop champagne if you.

(01:13):
Hey having a great season. Matt Rule could be leaving
for Penn State. Well, not after tonight losing to Minnesota
twenty four to six, late in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
One hundred and seventy two yards for Mahomes.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Yeah, yeah, pre Ducks. Sometimes the cosplay Mahomes is Mahomes.
Sometimes it's not quite Mahomes.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
No, not quite. I think the odds on unrule leaving
for Penn State probably dipping as the game goes.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
But I was supposed to go to Penn State. He's
on the field going Penn State man, linebacker, You don't
you understand this? Royola's going out. I know you're talking. Coach,
Just get out of my face. Penn State man.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Come on, mean PJ Flights runnerund yelling.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Row the boat been hey yeah, oh, he's absolutely rowing
the boat tonight twenty four to six. You know. The
funny thing is one of my really good friends that
I coached saw with for a long time. His daughter Zoe,
played together. He went to Minnesota and we that became
a thing on our team. One year. I would just
keep saying, come on, row the boat, row the boat,
and his daughter. I don't know what that means. I
ask your dad and he goes, come on, Jojo just
(02:14):
row the boat, row the boat. So she would make
a good play and then she would make a row
the boat motion. Has no idea why she was doing it.
Row the boat, Row the boat, row the boat. Oh
it was great. It's still to this day. Has no idea,
no idea. But the history we are talking about tonight.
What's happening at Dodger Stadium right now? The Dodgers are
(02:34):
going to the ninth inning with a five to one
lead over the Brewers. They are three outs away from
the World Series. Anthony Banda comes in and ends the
Brewers somewhat tepid rally. They get a run on a
double playgrounder that is just beat out. Blake Trynon gets
out of most of the damage that he created himself,
(02:55):
but Banda comes in, gets out of the inning with
a ground ball back to him. Dodgers go to the
ninth inning five to one. I assume you will see
Roki Sasaki for the ninth he was up in the pen.
In fact, if Banda put another runner on, I'm sure
we're gonna see Sasaki at that point. But four run
lead for the Dodgers going to the ninth inning. The
story of this, the story of the night. Sho Hey
(03:16):
Otani tonight, six innings pitch for the Dodgers, two hits,
ten strikeouts. At the plate, three for three with three
home runs, including a home run that was hit out
of the stadium that landed near the team store, which
is at the edge of the You walk out again,
you walk out of the parking lot into the team store,
(03:36):
and that's where Otani hit the home run too. I
told you that's where my dad and I would had
nachos last year in the NLCS. We were there before
the game. We're there, we had lunch. It was an
unbelievable day, and Otani hit a home run there over
the roof behind this. It's again, we talked about this
all last hour and it can't talk enough about it.
It's the single greatest night you've seen in the playoffs
(03:57):
in baseball history. No one's ever had a game like this.
Hitting only eleven guys who ever had three home runs
in a playoff game before. That would be enough, but
you add what he's done on the mound, it's easy
to blow off great and and say, yeah, we've seen
this from Otani a lot, But I'm telling you, man,
you have a better likelihood of seeing Haley's comment than
you have of seeing another game like this in the
(04:18):
Major League Baseball playoffs, and Aley's comment showed up inteen
nineteen eighty six. I think it's coming back again sometime
in the twenty sixties. You get a better chance to
seeing Haley's comment again that you haven't seen in a
game like even though Otani is still playing like this
is even for Otani three for three, ten strikeouts, all
of this, even this is some kind of night for
the best player any of us have.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Ever seventy five or seventy six year cycle. According to
the the wiki Funnily execs where mid mid twenty sixty one.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Yeah, but sometimes it's like between like it can change
its trajectory a little bit. So I think the best
thing what I what I read is that scientists say, well,
it's every seventy two to.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Eighty years, Okay, we'll just like wetch a twenty fifty
eight and then no, that there's a little bit of
plus or minus going on.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Yeah, they go, it's like when you get on a
plane in the and the pilot says, uh, so we
have a good tailwind with us today, and so we're
gonna get you into the airport in Detroit about forty
five minutes early. So looking at the eight oh seven
departure and the eleven oh one arrival time, flight attendants,
please pray for take off.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
And even if you end up sitting on the tarmac
for three hours thereafter, I got you in early.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Hey, make sure, Hey, make sure. Give me a good
yell p review, Good yell review, good yell review.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Jason bad. Spirit Airlines would hire you.

know how to drive?
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Yeah, that's what I mean. Yeah. Do you know how
to drive a car? Yeah? Okay, a plane is pretty easy.
Just can you show up tomorrow? We need you to fly.
We go overseas. We need to go to Belgium. Take
a direct flight to Belgia.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
And I'm on a plane next week. I do I
forget who I'm flying with.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Don't do this.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Jason's possibly problems.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Ladies and gentlemen. This is Jason Smith. I'm your pilot.
Blank you if you hate the Mets. Blank you harmon
sitting all the way in the back. Hey, anybody uh
passing by? Mike Carwon He's the guy in the purple
shorts and the backwards bears hat, just to flick his
ear as you're walking by, because you know he doesn't
like to sleep on plane, so just you know, maybe
you want to tweak his nose to a little bit too.
That's I remember the guy in the purple shorts all
(06:15):
the way in the back prepre for take.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
On as a back of the plane guy, Mike, Yeah,
because I like to be left alone. Yeah, I'll go
to the back of the plane.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
I don't care he'll he'll sleep in the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
I go to sleep as soon as the plane as
soon as as soon as I sit down and the
engines rev up, I'm done. It's a it's a Pavlovian
experiment gone a muck. Anything could happen on that plane.
We can have snakes on a plane. I'm not waking up.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Oh, I don't know. I think you'd wake up for
snakes on a plane.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
I mean, if Samuel L. Jackson were yelling and cursing
at me, the likelihood would really raise up there. But otherwise,
so you're I'm an expert sleeper on a plane.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Get those Michael Harmon snakes off.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
You hear this, Jason, I heard that, Yeah, we'd have
to go somewhere as a group. And since that's the
odds of that are longer than I don't know, Oh,

the story before we started dating, all right, when when

should do with this. But how mad should I really be?
I know, I don't know what's the what's the what's
(09:11):
the proportion I should be mad with? With how much
I like her? I don't know. So I I forget

I'm not feeling good. Let's just say right, I am
not feeling good because you know, being overserved, and around
eleven o'clock in the morning. It's like, you know what,
(09:59):
I'm gonna get sick and I go in the bathroom
and so I'm like, oh, one of the bathroom's like okay, good,
nobody's here. And I get sick and I'm like okay,
and then I'm like, wow, now I feel markedly better. Yeah,
boot really feel better. Okay great. So I'm like all right, good.
And the best part was nobody knew right because I'm
like okay, because I went in the bathroom, nobody was there.
I come out of the bathroom, nobody was there. I'm like, oh, awesome, man,
(10:21):
I'm chewing gum like crazy, you know, from my bread.
All right, great? Great, great great great. So the whole
day oh no, no, no, come, it's no. It's it's
one of those you know the people. Now there's four uh,
there's four bathroom, there's four urinoals and stuff stalls and
stuff not. I just got sick and flushed. That was fine.
There was never anything anywhere. I didn't get anything anywhere.
(10:41):
So I get sick and I come out and I'm
like okay, great, and it's like five o'clock and we're
all we're getting ready to be done for the day.
I'm like, okay, I'm going home and I'm going to
sleep because I am exhausted all this, And all of
a sudden, Mike McNulty was his name, right, all of
a sudden, he comes walking up to me and he
points to me. He goes, you, and I go what.
And he was a guy I worked with, and like, yeah,
I'm like what. I'm like, okay, something happened. What happened
(11:02):
during the show you. He goes, I've been looking for
those shoes all day, that was you, And I go, oh,
come on, man, okay. So he came in, look heard
me getting sick, looked down at I saw my shoes
whatever I would wear, memorize them, and then was looking
for them all day, Like I went to find who
was that throwing up? Who was that getting sick? Just
(11:22):
look at everybody's shoes, I'm sure walking around all they go,
I've been looking for those shoes all day. Oh great,
thanks a lot.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
The hell's wrong with that guy?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I know, I thought I had I thought I thought
I got away with it. It was like the end
of Oceans twelve. Thought I got away with it. Yeah,
And then it realized it's just a bad movie. I
just thought I got away with it.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Man, Wait, what was a bad movie?
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Ocean's twelve? How dare you the Ocean twelve?
Speaker 5 (11:46):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (11:46):
It grows upon man. They go through the whole thing,
and then suddenly at the end, Oh no, we're gonna
get in a fake fight on a train and that's
how we're got Come on, Come on Red. It was
so real.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
I felt like I was there in the bleachers, like,
how is back in nineteen ninety eight?
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Okay, I want to know that. How does the guy
get the well, I forget it was so bad? How
does the guy get what thereafter? How does he get
through the different lasers when there's no pattern? How do
how does he dance his way through when there's absolutely
no pattern and it's random. He's gonna get tagged by
the laser, gonna tell people he's there. But somehow, with
(12:23):
no pattern, he's able to make it all the way through.
That makes no sense.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Can you not just go with a little bit of
suspension of belief here? I mean, you watch a lot
of sci fi, you read a lot of sci fi,
you love John Wick. I mean, how's that guy not
defeated with the number of people coming at him?
Speaker 1 (12:40):
I mean, come on, he's got a bulletproof suit that
looks just like a regular suit, which is awesome because the.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Budgets and none of these guys can find the headshot.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Come on, we didn't we.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Didn't have to build any kind of suit. Now we're
just gonna say it's bulletproof. Oh, that's awesome. We're gonna
save money on that.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Yeah, he doesn't special costume.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Yeah, that was a that was That was a tough day. Man,
that's a tough day.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Hey, Mary Hart's still there.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
I mean, well leave, Are you leaving a game where
shoe Heyo Tani's having the greatest Save your tickets if
you have paper tickets for this game, save your tickets.
Save you are to save everything from this game. I mean,
if if I'm Major League Baseball, I want something from
this game for the Hall of Fame. I mean, you
got to, like, whether it's his cleats, uh, there's something
you got to get from show Heyo Tani.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
This should be the only exhibit. They should take everything
else out.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
They should just have him stay there and just tell
people the story, Like him and his interpreter there and
they're just telling the story of what happened. This day.
He doesn't have to play baseball ever. Again. They give
him all kinds of money to stay there at Cooperstown
and just tell the story of what he did on
this day, just over express a button. He just tells
it over and over again. We're going to the bottom
of the ninth inning again. The Dodgers are three outs
away from the World Series, and we continue to break
(13:50):
down show Heyo Tani and the single greatest night a
player's had in playoff history in Major League Baseball, all
the way back to the late eighteen hundreds, when there
is only three bases, no one's had a game like
show Hao Tani has had tonight. It's been absolutely insane.
So again, we'll have more on this eventually. We will
(14:12):
get to what happened to the Alcs, but do we
really need to? And our Big Football Friday preview, we
talked about what happened in Miami last hour. Bill Belichick
is getting it going right now, already losing in the
first quarter. We start and continue with our Big Football
Friday and show Hao Tani coming up next right here

It is over at Chavez Ravine. The start works are
going on. The Dodgers are heading to the World Series.
They had defeated the Brewers five to one. Rookie Sasaki
comes into the ninth inning, gives up a base hit,
gets the next three batters out. Now Billy Jean King
is on the field hugging show Hey Otani as the
(16:20):
Dodgers are taking pictures putting on National League Champion t shirts,
and Otani is celebrating a game that again, nobody in
the history of Major League Baseball has had a game
like this, absolute history. Tonight, six innings pitched, two hits,
allowed ten strikeouts, three for three at the plate, with
(16:41):
three home runs, including one that left the stadium, And that,
of course, is our Play of the Day. Play the

play of the day.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Oh my goodness, show, Oh Tony.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Whoa up and.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Over the roof, a majestic blast. Oh Tony jumped, jumped
everywhere and it's fo to nothing.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Dodgers TBS on the call. Yes, homered over the roof
And when you think about it, if you haven't seen
it yet, I mean, look, you're gonna see it forever
over the course.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
The next one, you can see it just from the
crack of the bat. It's like that had a microphone
on it.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
It was. You see the the bleachers in the outfield
for the Dodgers, and there is a little mini roofs
over the bleachers, you know, to keep people cool because
you know it's hot there. There's also a row where
people sit on stools to face the stadium, so it's
kind of a nice it's nice seat there behind that
(18:14):
is a picnic area where you know, there's a lot
of food vendors right behind that area of the stadium.
My dad and again, my dad and I had lunch
there before the NLCS twice last year before the games,
and we had a great time. So you are pretty
far away from the stadium, right, I mean you go
from that area where you're seated, and then right across
(18:35):
from the area where you're seated is the big Team store. Right,
that's what that that area of Dodger Stadium looks like.
And Shoho Tani hid it into the area where guys
can you And I said, my dad and I had nachos,
had lunch there, And Steve Di Sager brought us the
story all last hour that the guy who got the
ball was a guy that happened to look up who
was sitting eating nachos. He was sitting in the picnic area. Hey,
(18:56):
I'm gonna get a home run?
Speaker 3 (18:58):
How jealous are you?
Speaker 5 (19:00):
Man?
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Are you kidding? I would have caught that with my helmet,
with nachos. I would have held it and I would
have never moved it, and I would have shellacked it,
and I would have said that this is that ball
oh no, no, no, no, no, no, dude, that's too valuable.
I would have no, dude, I would have held that
and shellacked it. Made a lot of money. And I
had just gone and bought another thing, a helmet, nachos.
(19:21):
I'dan come on, they just I just go and get
another one of those for twenty bucks. But that thing.
Think about how famous that would have been if I
caught that in a helmet, right that let it land,
didn't move it. This is where the ball was, and
again you shall keep it there, and I would sell it.
I would make I don't know, what do you think
if I did that? Harmon? What do you think someone
would pay for that? What would they're your rebellion on this?
Speaker 3 (19:42):
No?
Speaker 1 (19:42):
No, no, in my helmet, my helmet, nachos shell act
with the ball in it, where I landed, where it
caught it. What would somebody pay for that?
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Well, it has the the lace imprint and your tail.
I mean you could probably sue somebody saying it traumatized
you because it splatted your cheese or something. Oh that's
the only now, because if you don't have the ball,
you got nothing. You gotta put a story the ball
I catch.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Yeah, that's what I mean. That's the helmet nachos. That's okay,
the ball's not going anywhere, that's fine.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
You can get the cheese. Uh off it. I wonder
if he got great over time that's or is it
like a McDonald's burger that forever?
Speaker 1 (20:24):
No harmon? Like I said, I shellack it and I
make it where.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Okay, you don't want to shellack it. That ruins the
stop saying.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Yeah, Shellack's a great word. I just love you that.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
With commemorative balls, right because I threw a couple of uh,
you know, no hitters when I was younger or whatever.
H and then would get everybody to sign the ball
and then the shellack it and you get this weird
ass brown orange whatever thing, and like that's not a baseball?
Speaker 1 (20:48):
What did you do with I gotta do something to
preserve it because I can't just let it sit there
in the nachos and the cheese and I'm somewhere where
so it's not you know where.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
You take it to the cleaner, like that guy that
was on that episode of Las Vegas.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Take it to the cleaner.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
You gotta find the cleaner. But I mean the guy
I want to I want to track his whereabouts though,
is Otani as they were showing him before he was
taking the interviews, he took his jersey off and handed
it to somebody. We got to protect that man, because
that's a multi hundred thousand dollars jersey right there.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Or is that jer is that? Is that going to
the Hall of Fame? Is that where the jersey is? Hey,
we're taking this jersey. We're taking it to the Hall
of Fame. Will you give it to the Hall of Fame?
And yeah, sure, no problem whatever.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Yeah, this is one of the most ridiculous things ever.
Now they're posing for their their picture. Everybody's got their
commemorative merch on. All the celebrities are on the field.
I mean it's it's really something. And now me one
helmet nachos.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Billy Jean King got on that field really fast, like
to hug show. Heyotime, like, wow, I was fat business
on the field. Yeah, but I mean still she got
on the field. That's fine.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Hey, you get to go wherever you want.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Hey you're Billy Jean King. Yeah you've got some ownership rights.
How you doing.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
I'm part of the group that didn't pay your deferred
salary congratulations.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Hey, Billy Jeane, you know they're gonna come to you
in ten years when Otani has to start getting paid.
Just so you know, right, you have to cut a
big check to him. Just say he's only two million now,
but it's gonna be these.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Buddies without John's you might be able to shake a
couple of pianos or something out of him.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
All right, Frostburg has Otani trivia for us right now
after this night. He owns major League Baseball, He owns
the Sporting World. Frostburg, what he got?
Speaker 5 (22:31):
Yeah?

the right field pavilion at Dodger Stadium. Name the other two?

Okay, well one I know one I know because one
was Kyle Schwarber. Right, Kyle Kyle Schwarber. Oh boy, who

Willie Stargell, very good, Mike Harmon, very nu.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
I want to tollbox hat you google it like?
Speaker 2 (23:37):
No, I didn't.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
I'm watching a guy that's one of our friends on
Twitter is holding up a paper that says pain on it,
making fun of the Brewers.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
So there, I think Steve Disager told Harmon. I think
Dissagre painted it on his chest and took his shirt
off and showed Harmon, and Harmon and Harmon said, oh,
Willie Stargell, that's who it is. That's really starge that's.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
An educated guest right there. Really put had to take
it into a creepy kind of can just say, hey,
Steve held up a sign.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
No, Steve Stevens pulls his shirt, writes Willy Stargell, and
Sharpie another riding on the skin and Sharpie segment here.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
And Steve was doing the full on batting stance and
Willie Stargell to help.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Oh was he doing the whole thing? Oh? Yeah, I love.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Well No, because I originally interpreted it that he was
going to continue by doing the elbow twitch, which he
did not, But that's how I interpreted that as the
next part of his interpreted dance.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Again an absolutely historic night. I hope you got to
see it. I really hope you got to see some
of it, because we're again, we're never going to see
this again. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Now on the local Fox News, they're they're going and
they've got some some drunk Dodger fans coming out of
the stadium. This won't end well.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
No, I think it'll one fine, the Dodgers won I
think it's gonna.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Be You don't think there's gonna be someone that comes
up there with a bunch of blankety blanks and blank us.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Oh wait, Now, are we going to get an entertaining
newscast or we're gonna be trouble?
Speaker 5 (25:03):
Like?
Speaker 1 (25:04):
I mean, there's a difference there.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
You're gonna have trouble right there in River City.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Like if like if Kurt Sandoval from ABC seven is
out there and all of a sudden you hear a
blankety blanketty blaket. It's like, Okay, that's kind of entertaining.
I'm not saying I'm not condoning that. I'm just saying
there's a difference between that and if absolutely you know, hey,
we get something bad happening there.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
No, that's that's a lot of folks to come come
wandering by. And as as we know, there's been a
lot of back and forth between fans in this series,
folks getting banned for life from different stadium. But right now,
a lot of very happy uh U four Dodger fans
trying to figure out how they can afford Game one.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
I mean, an unbelievable night and look, and that's the
thing for the Dodgers right just to think about this
for a second. We talked about it this week. The
two biggest the only concerns I have for them going
forward are their defense, but more importantly, they're gonna get
a bounce starting pitching. Right. They're not gonna be like
they gave up one run in every game to the Brewers,
(26:00):
scored four runs in the entire National League Championship Series.
You're not gonna get the totality of pitching you got
from Snell and Yamamoto and Glass, Snow and Otani. Now
you may get it from one or two guys, but
to see that again not gonna happen, right. It reminds
me a lot of the twenty fifteen Mets who did
this in the NLCS to the Cubs. They get to
(26:20):
the World Series, they get a little bit of a bounce.
Not suddenly they're starting pitching terribly, but they didn't pitch
like as dominant they did the NLCS. Their defense wasn't great.
The Royals win the World Series, so that that's a
big concern for the Dodgers. Are you gonna get this
kind of pitching? Probably not, you're gonna get a bounce. However,
the Dodge had not been hitting throughout the entire NLCS.
(26:40):
They have been scraping by with these games. Look getting
clutch hits and getting the hits, and that's great, but
it's not like they're winning these games going away. It's
not six nothing, six to one, seven to one, five
to one, nine to one. It's two to one, three
to one. And even tonight you sweated a little bit
late because the Brewers were able to get a couple
of runners on in the eighth inning, a couple of
runners on in the seventh.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Thing, you can keep it, that's it.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Yeah, I mean so you still had a little bit
of nervousness. But Otani with three home runs, it's infectious.
The thing the thing to worry about if I say, hey,
there's your there's your worry for the Dodgers, something that
will eat even that out the Yin and Yanga baseball
is maybe they're going to really start hitting now, because
maybe this is when their bats come alive, because they're
too good a team to be scoring two and three
(27:22):
runs a game, right, because the other thing hit too
well to have this going on.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
To go back to the al teams while there is
sluggerville from either of them, right, we've got the heavy
hitters for Seattle. There may be fewer than than Toronto,
but all in they've been inconsistent, not to the level
where you're at this concern as there was with the Dodgers.
But all of that to say, pitching wins, right, and
(27:49):
if you can get through two times in the batting
order before you got to start looking at the pen,
you're feeling pretty good. And the way of the starting
pitching is rolling up right now, they didn't pitch heavy innings.
The only guy that really pitched every fifth day was Yamamoto.
Everybody else is what one hundred hundred and twenty innings
coming into the playoffs and what they've done in these
(28:10):
first couple of rounds. So you've got the opportunity. Now
there are limited inventory available for home game one here
in Los Angeles. Would you like to guess if you
wanted to buy a single seat, what you're getting is
down the right field line.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Oh, get in down the right field because you can.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Buy this directly from the Dodgers website.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Okay, get in down the right field line. I'm gonna
say sixteen hundred dollars. Oh you overshot? I did. Okay, nine.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Dollars plus ninety six dollars in fees, So you're in
for just over one thousand. You sell a Jason, you
can get sixteen hundred. Well, no, that's just it. He
set the market. No, he said he's gonna pay the line. Hey,
he said he played sixteen. Yeah, but all of that
to say, it's one of those things I was trying
to try to talk with folks. We get into the
(29:02):
pricing structures of a lot of these things. Is that
important to you. It's once in a lifetime. You'll figure
it out.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Yeah, you'll find out a way time out to find
out what's trending in the wide world of sports. From
a man who's been called the David Putty of Fox
Sports Radio. Is he wearing an eight ball jacket? He
won't paint his face, but he'll paint his chest. Tell
you Willie Stargell hit that home run. It's steve to
say that.
Speaker 6 (29:24):
And I won't be shouting devils at your car either.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Down We're the devil. We're the devil.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
The Dodgers have advanced in the World Series for the
fifth time in the last nine years. They were a
pretty good home team regular season fifty two and twenty nine.
Speaker 6 (29:39):
They've only lost one at home in these playoffs.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
Frankly, they've only lost one game so far in these
playoffs nine and one record. They close out the NLCS
with a four game sweep of the Brewers.
Speaker 6 (29:52):
Five to one.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
Tonight's final, guys, we have to say again out loud,
because I don't think history will remember this. The Milwaukee
brew were seated number one overall. This was the best
team in baseball in the regular season ninety seven wins
and then against these four Dodger starting pitchers, including Otani, tonight,
the Brewers were held to one run in each of
(30:16):
the four games of this series.
Speaker 6 (30:18):
Wow the wind a pitcher show Hey.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
Otani started off the night walking the leadoff man, then
got three straight strikeouts top of the first, led off
as a batter with a home run in the bottom
of the first it went nearly four hundred and fifty feet.
He also had a walk and a couple of more
homers at the plate tonight. In fact, in the bottom
of the fourth, when he belted one out, it went
(30:40):
over the roof in right field at Dodger Stadium, estimated
to go about four hundred and seventy feet, and to
cap it off bottom of the seventh inning, Otani's homer
to center field went over four to twenty five.
Speaker 6 (30:52):
A three homer.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
Game as his team clinches a spot in the World Series,
and on the mound, he strikes out ten in six
plus innings. This has to be the greatest individual performance
in the history of the postseason of Major League Baseball.
Reggie Jackson is on the list somewhere. Three homer game
to clinch the World Series. He did not pitch that night.
Speaker 6 (31:17):
This is astounding what we saw this evening.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
Six plus innings, no runs allowed, just two hits allowed,
while he not only had three hits as a bat
or all three went out of the park. The Brewers
franchise has now lost eleven straight postseason games on the road.
Speaker 6 (31:33):
The record is twelve.
Speaker 4 (31:35):
And by the way, the great Sarah Langs points out
that sho Hey Otani literally one year ago Tonight also
homered off Jose Quintana in the NLCS when he was
in a Mets uniform. He was a losing pitcher for
the Brewers. Tonight had a strained calf mid September had
barely pitched since then. He lasted two plus innings, three
runs allowed.
Speaker 6 (31:56):
Tonight.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
Otani one of the rare guys to have a three
homer game in the postseason. The only other guy to
do that from the leadoff spot in a playoff game
with George Brett nineteen seventy eight. But to have the
pitcher at the plate get three homers completely unprecedented. So
the Dodgers are the first reigning World Series champ to
make it back to the World Series the next year
(32:19):
since the Phillies in two thousand and nine, longest such
stretch in postseason history.
Speaker 6 (32:25):
And it's been said before the last time we had anybody.
Speaker 4 (32:28):
Take back to back titles in the World Series it
was when Derek Cheater and the Yankees won three straight
through the year two thousand. That is also the longest
current drought without a repeat champion in Major League Baseball.
Seattle could be the opponent the Mariners with a magical
bottom of the eighth at home tonight. If there was
(32:48):
a roof on their joint, it would have blown off.
They beat Toronto six' to two with a five run
bottom of the eighth Col rawley tying solo homer grand
slam For Henneo, suarez who also hit a solo shot
in the. Second his slam came after two walks and
a hit better for The Blue, JAYS Dh George springer
(33:09):
left hit by a pitch on the. KNEE x rays were,
negative so that's some good news and they're off. Tomorrow

switch they're gonna flip and suddenly get. Great the younger,
teams more athletic teams in THE nfl are still younger

(36:51):
gonna be a team that kind of meanders around five
hundred a game a game over at five hundred game,
under game, over two games, over one game. Over that's
gonna be run for The chiefs this year because the
rest of THE afc is too, young it's too talented
the rest of the, teams and The chiefs are showing, you,
yeah they're getting. Old. NOW i will say this, though
(37:11):
for The chiefs right. NOW i know we've talked a
lot About Baker mayfield potentially being THE, mvp which again
we had that conversation like two weeks, ago so congratulations
to everybody who said that in the last. Week BUT
i got news for, you. Man you want to talk
about a guy who might be THE NFL mvp because
he is doing absolutely everything for his, Team that might Be.
(37:31):
Mahomes his running has become so. Dangerous he's gonna lead
the team in rushing this. Year he does so much
Like mayfield is territ. RIGHT i, mean you're talking about
splitting hair at the top of the league With mayfield
And darnold and other guys who were. There But mahomes
is doing absolutely everything keeping this team afloat without, weapons
knowing full, well that what he's got going. On there's
(37:52):
no running. Game there's really not a lot of guys
throw the football. TOO i Think Carlos carson caught a
couple of posses last. Week But i'll tell you, what,
man you talk as someone who was doing so much
for his team and doing, Everything mahomes might be THE
mvp of THE nfl right.
Speaker 3 (38:08):
Now two hundred and twenty two rushing, yards four, touchdowns
already eleven touchdowns against two, picks sixty five percent completion,
rate already at fifteen hundred yards, passing and they're just getting.
Healthier as it relates to the ENTIRE, AFC i, mean
who do you really? TRUST i like The indianapolis. Squads
they've beating a bunch of. Bums you can like beat
who's on the, schedule but there'll be a step up
(38:29):
in class at some. Point DO i Trust Trevor? Lawrence, no,
no thank. You in The, west if The chargers can
get healthy and whatever they need to get From Kyrie
irving or whatever shaman to get the demons out from
that that training, room then maybe they got a. Shot And,
DENVER i don't know THAT i trust their. Offense when
(38:51):
the chips are you, know when it's all push pushing
at the center of the table kind of moment the
rest of the squads that are at the. TOP i
mean you Hate Aaron. RODGERS i mean you just. DO i,
mean it's just not your. Guy especially after he was
assaulted by his offensive. Lineman he got mad like.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
That he was not happy about.
Speaker 4 (39:11):
That, man he was not.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
Happy you see me THAT.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
I reference though of him playing on the ground with
that chin strap in disarray became a big. Deal but
THE afc is there for the, taking and there's a
lot of rumblings about them going and finding another running
back before the, deadline so this could be real. Interesting but,
Yes mahomes YOUR mvp. Leader AND i think on our
little board in the studio, THERE i think someone might
(39:37):
have Written mahomes as THE.

sneaking suspicion The jets become a one win team After sunday,

seems like a trap game And vegas knows. Something Bryce
young is gonna get swallowed. Up The jets defense is pissed.
Off they played incredibly well last. WEEK i Know carolina
is riding, high but The jets defense is a bad
matchup For carolina's. Offense even With Rico dowdell running the
(40:24):
ball the way he, is The jets will run it all,
day and and and and it's gonna be a, huge huge.
Thing they become a team now with one win and
nobody has no losses in THE.
