Speaker 3 (01:19):
You know, Jason, we got the World Series and all
of this other big sporting you know events all over
the place. You forgot that it's the beginning of the
Emirates Cup competition.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
It is the NBA Cup tonight. Listen about that. It's hey, hey, hey,
let me tell you. I told you last night, and
you know I'm not lying. I'm believing in your bulls
and how good they are. And they just absolutely boat
race the Knicks tonight. I was like, wow, we was down,
but we were down by twenty at half time. I said, okay,
that's nice. Yeah, but they made a nice running the second.
But I'm telling you, nobody likes playing against Nobody likes

(01:52):
playing against the Bulls. Their pace, everything they do. They're
a pain in the ass to play against. And even
though they didn't have any big improved in the offseason,
they still don't have their best player. But they play fast,
they get rid of the ball. This is a really
good team. They are sneaky good regular season team.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
Thirty two for Gidi, twenty six for Vussovich. You know
I'm watching and the Lakers. You know it's a big
game because Luca is back.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Yep, yep, yep, yep. You do it matters because it's
the Emirates Cup. He might not be back if it
wasn't for all the Cup is tonight.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
Oh well, okay, well, I mean I gotta show up.
They're gonna have those weirdly painted courts. I gotta be
back for that.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
But here we are, ninth inning, Game six of the
World Series. Roki Sasaki, the only reliever the Dodgers can
trust because Eric Ganye not available, gets out of a
jam in the bottom of the eighth inning, begins the
ninth inning by hitting Alejandro Kirk with a pitch, So
now the Blue Jays have the tying run at bat.

(02:54):
Nobody out in the ninth inning, Justin Dean in center
field for the Dodgers, and now they're running for Kirk
at first base. Addison Barger is up. So now, hey,
if you thought last inning all the Dodgers got through it,
Sasaki hits the first batter of the bottom of the
ninth inning, and now nobody out, tying run at the plate.
Dodgers lead at three to one as the Blue Jay's

(03:15):
bat here in the bottom.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
Of the night, never a dull moment. I've been singing
the jet Throw Toll Classic. Nothing's easy, uh here in
the studio tonight as watching this because there is no
straight path for any of this. And maybe for Sasaki,
you just need that runner on and it makes him focus.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
It's like Edwin Diaz. No, no, I don't like this clean inning.
Nobody on not don't give me this four to one
lead in the night. I'm gonna hit a guy, then
I'm gonna walk a guy. Then I'll get a strikeout,
then I'll walk another guy, and now the bases are loaded,
and now suddenly it's a game.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
It's a long run at my best. Yeah, it's not
a heat check. It's a heart check for the city
that you pitch in.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
Yeah, that's I am at my best right there. I
can't just come in and get three outs. I can't
do that for you. No, no, no, no, I'm gonna
load the bases and turn it into a one run
game and then I'll get the final out. Because you
know what, what fun is just coming in going one, two,
three and winning this game four to one. That's no
fun at all.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
Boring. Yeah, I mean where's the bill, where's the anticip
patient on a Halloween night?

Speaker 1 (04:15):
I will tell you this. Obviously, here we are, ninth inning,
Dodgers lead at three to one. If the Dodgers win
this game three to one, I guarantee you Schneider is
going to sit back after this game, Blue Jays manager,
and he's gonna the thing that's gonna go through his
head of all the decisions, everything going on in this game,
he's gonna go back to intentionally walking Otani in the

(04:36):
third inning with two outs. Right the third, that's when
the Dodgers got all three of their runs. Keikey Hernandez
struck out, Todmy Edmond doubled, Rojas struck out, So you
have two outs. Of course, yeah, let's walk show hey
Otani runner at second? Why are we doing that? Then
Will Smith doubles to left. That brings the first run in,
and now it becomes a three to nothing lead because
Mookie Betts gets a single and that brings in the

(05:00):
extra run to make it a three to one game
and instead of a two to one game. So now
this is where we sit in the ninth inning. But
now we have all kinds of drama happening, and okay,
let's see what happens here. So Barger hits one to
the wall in left center field. The ball lands at

(05:23):
the base of the wall and it sticks. Okay, so
Sasaki gets taken to the wall. It's gonna be a double.
And the ball just sticks at the bottom. It doesn't
go anywhere. It's I've never seen this before. Again the
Jason Stark baseball one hundred and fifty years. You see
some we've never seen before. So the ball gets stuck

(05:44):
at the bottom of the wall, right between the wall
and the dirt. It doesn't move. It's like a golf
shot that just sticks. And so uh, both outfielders go
to the ball and they put their hands up because
it's stuck. Because you know, if you put your hands
up and it's stuck, the umpire stop it. It's a
ground rule double, and everybody's got a you know, runners

(06:06):
at second and third, and it's still a three to
one game because if you go try to dislodge the ball,
get it. Let's say you can't dislodge it, you can't
get it. Who knows what happens? Extra runners score, and
all of a sudden, it's a one run game, and
the tying run is at third base. So the smart play,
and it's a really really smart play. Hey Dave Roberts,
you know, patch yourself on the back with the moves

(06:27):
you're making in the outfield. They are going to be
going to the ninth inning. Because Dean does the right thing.
The ball sticks and right away he puts his hands up.
It's stuck. I can't get it. It's like the ball
in the ivy at rig It's stuck. I can't get it. Right,
Key k Hernand is the same thing. Throws his hands up,
it's stuck. I can't get it. The Blue Jays round
the bases because of course you never know how this
is gonna go. Absolutely and he doesn't go after the ball.

(06:48):
He goes he stands at the wall and he holds
his hands up and he's saying, I can't get this.
I got I can't get it. I can't get it,
And the Blue Jays keep rounding the bas is. Finally
Dean grabs the ball and throws it in because everybody's
rounding and scoring, and so the bumpires make the ruling
and it's the absolute right call. It's a ground rule

(07:10):
double when the ball gets stuck in that situation. So
the runners go back to second and third, and now
you are seeing another pitching change. Roki Sasaki is coming
out of the game after the hit by pitching the
bottom of the ninth the double to the wall. And
now Tyler glassnow will be asked to come in and
send this to game seven. Mike Carmon, take a quick peek.

(07:34):
Who is scheduled to be your Game seven starter for
the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
Wow, second, that's gonna bez. It's now just a giant picture.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
So here comes Tyler Glass now in in relief to
try to get this to Game seven. But the Blue
Jays have the tying run at second and nobody out again,
second and third, nobody out after Barger's double to the wall.
And quite honestly, what what happened in the grand scheme
of things probably is not that big a deal. Now,

(08:06):
wait and see who we could get craziness. But let's
just say the ball hits there and you saw Dean
go over and pull the ball out without too much
of a problem.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
Well, that's sad. That was the old day. I mean,
could you have made an effort, Sure, But the rules
are the rules.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
You saw he didn't have a tough time play he
could he went over. Wait when he finally went to
it and he pulled the ball out. So what kind
of advantage is this for the Dodgers or the Blue Jays.
It's really not because it's a two run game. If
it was a one run game, okay, huge advantage because
the tying run doesn't score, but the Blue Jays need
to if they If he goes and gets that ball,

(08:41):
Barger gets a double, I mean likely you are going
to get var Show, You're gonna get Straw, who's pinch
running for Kirk. Straw's gonna come around to score on that.
So okay, So now it's three to two of the
runner at second instead of three run with a runner
at second and third. Now, who knows what could happen here.
There could be a chopper in front of the plate.
You can get it out of the plate. But where
you sit right now As far as the advantage for

(09:03):
the Dodgers or the Blue Jays, yeah, I don't think
this was something that the Blue Jayson go oh man,
this really screwed us again. One run game is different.
But because it's a two run game. Right here, this
is where I could say, all right, we're at where
we should be. The umpires made the right call. There's
been no change of the game. The tying run is
still at second base, so I think it's okay. It's

(09:23):
a zero sum play and now we see how things
go the rest of the way.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
Yeah, in the end, the ground rules are what they are.
You can see the dent in the wall as the
ball down there right, So in the end, yeah, he
could could have picked it up quickly. But again it's
knowing the nuances of the rules. It's the old dog
eared rule book that Bill Belichick carried around with him
in the National Football League for all those years. Like,

(09:49):
that's not a legal formation, Oh it is right here
on page nine seventy two, right, that kind of thing.
So knowing know the rules, that's what we always say, right,
know the rules, rules of engagement.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
And as we say this, wow, a big big You
could tell this was part of their advanced scouting. Most
likely a big out for the Dodgers and Glass. Now
because Clement pops up to the right side of the
infield on the first pitch from Tyler Glassnow, whatever they
were doing, they were hunting that pitch and he pops

(10:23):
up to Freddie Freeman. No run scores. The runners stay put,
so now it's one out, runners at second and third.
Bottom of the ninth inning. Glassnow trying to get this
to game seven. I mean, they'll get work with Blake Snell,
but you could tell coming in here it's okay. We
think Glassnow's going to try to do this, so we
think we can jump on it. And it is a
pop up to first base. That is a huge out

(10:45):
for the Dodgers.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
They showed the replay and his eyes got really wide
at the plate, did Clement, Oh.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
My god, Oh we're going to game seven? Oh my goodness,
what just happened? Oh my goodness. Andre's Andez lines out
to left field Key a Hernandez runs in, makes the
catch on the fly in one motion, throws to second base,
doubles off the runner at second for a game ending

(11:14):
double play. The Dodgers have forced Game seven. Miguel Rojas
makes an incredible catch.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
That's my guy. I too, didn't do it bare handed,
but it was incredible. Nonetheless, he gets to the bag,
steps on the bag. It's a one bounce throw. He
is able to grab it. Before he falls off the bag.
We're gonna look at it on replay. But the Dodgers
have one Game six with a game ending double play.

(11:40):
We will have game seven in the World series. See
what if I said from toy story, I mean Will
Smith loving it.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
I mean this is some kind of play. Keyk a
Hernandez makes a great decision. Yeah he's out. On the replay,
it's clear he is out. Hernandez make the makes the
look to third runner was not tagging because it was
too shallow uh in left center. But runner at second
Clement tries to tries to. Obviously, you want to try

(12:11):
to get off the bag as much as possible because
if it's dinking in there, you want to try to
score the game tying run. He is way too far
off the bag. And keik Hernandez mister O the day
he is he is mister with his bat. This time
he is mister October. There is that Reggie Jackson. There
should be a ceremony where Reggie Jackson actually hands the

(12:32):
title of miss he hands the scepter and the crown
two key k Hernandez.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
Well do we give him a different title? I mean,
I don't know. Do we go into like a hierarchical thing.
I mean, what's what what do we do other than mister?
We call him sir?

Speaker 1 (12:46):
No, no, no, no, you're mister. Yeah no, no, you're sir, Octoper,
You're you're sir October. You are sir, he's mister.

Speaker 3 (12:58):
I mean, that was already taken so unbelievable, unbelievable end
of this game. Do you ever think defense was going
to get it done for the Dodgers in any of
these games?

Speaker 1 (13:09):
No? No, I never kN know, especially especially after that
ground ball went under Muncie's glove in the front.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
Oh my goodness. Yeah again, Ray listening to the radio
for those few minutes. I was in the stuck in
traffic trying to get in here. When that ball went
under his glove. That was a I don't know that
I've heard a pause like that on a Dodger's radio
broadcast in a while.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
Oh, but I saw that. I said, oh boy, here,
cause everything I have said for the Dodgers, they're starting
pitching is getting a bounce. The bullpen is terrible, the
defense is not good. It's all coming home to round.
It was amazing, but the Dodgers escape three to one,
and now Glassnow, who was scheduled to pitch Game seven.
In theory, now we can talk about Shoe hal T

(13:54):
in theory. Now, he didn't throw a lot, but it is,
you know, to get him to warm up tonight to
come of the game. He only threw three pitches, so
in operational efficiency right there, many I mean, I mean,
I just threets. Obviously, it's an all hands on deck
kind of day, and you don't know what this would
have done to Glassnow coming into tomorrow. But if he's

(14:16):
now a guy that because of the warm up tonight,
the adrenaline getting in the game throwing, if this is
where maybe it's a piggyback situation tomorrow. I mean, I'm
sure the Dodge would rather go with starting Otani because
you don't lose his bat in the lineup if you
start him at pitcher. Maybe it's an Otani starting the game,
and then it would be glassnow would be the next
guy coming in. I could see something like that tomorrow

(14:38):
and then it wouldn't be that big a deal. So
if your plan was to have Otani come in and
pitch anyway, if you're doing something like that, this would
be an acceptable alternative. But wow, you have Game seven
on deck right now, because the Dodgers defensively get it
done with a great play in the ninth inning.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
Y worry that again.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
I never thought i'd say, is this Ai Jasa Smith
and Mike Carmon because they don't say stuff like the
Dodgers get it done defensively. No, no, no, you.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
Were about four seconds ahead of us on your feed.
You know, to pull the curtain back for a second.
So as you started to talk, Steve started leaning forward
into his chair and anticipation of what was about to
come on our screen. And I was doing the same
here in the studio, like oh oh oh, cause, I

(15:25):
mean you had that little build there, and fortunately the
video then catches up and look, this is this is
an incredible moment. I mean, we had a lot of
anxious folks around these parts. You talked about it in
the first hour. Just anywhere you went in the city today.
I went to the store and walking the dog, whatever.
It was just everybody wearing their Dodger or blue and commiserating.

(15:47):
So it brought people together, but it was a very
anxious bringing people together.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
What are you think?

Speaker 3 (15:53):
I don't know what are you gonna do? But here
we are Game seven. Yeah, I thought it would be
O tawny to start and then glass now Killian Murphy
coming in, you know, a member of the Peaky Blinders
and taking care of business like you did here.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
The Dodgers survive, they win Game six. Now Game seven

Speaker 1 (17:43):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
Oh boy.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
The Dodgers force Game seven getting it done defensively. This
is not AI. This is me actually saying they get
it done defensively. Keik Hernandez catches a liner and shallow
left center field off the bat of Andre Simonez. Barger
is too far off second base and on the run.

(18:11):
In one motion, Hernandez throws to second to Miguel Rojas,
who makes a great play on the one bounce to
game and double play and force game seven. My goodness,
joining us now on the hotline, a man chomping at
the bit to talk this with us. Probably if you
put him out on the mound, he could give you

(18:32):
a couple of innings right now. He's as amped up
as we are. He is MLB Network insider extraordinary. You
can follow him on Twitter at John Morosi. That is
at John Morosi. It is the Pope, John Paul Morosi,
John Paul, just how we drew it up. The Dodgers
great defense saves them in the ninth inning.

Speaker 5 (18:51):
Wow. Wow, is about all I can say. And let's
make this point. When you think about the great play,
having key A Hernandez in left field, you've got Miguel Rojas,
I thought, made an excellent play to reach and stretch
and get that ball just before Barger slid back in.
That was a great defensive play. Just like the previous inning,

(19:13):
it ended with a great defensive play made there at
second base by Rojas. So maybe some lineup adjustments getting
a little more experience in there. Dave Roberts rewarded for that,
and of course just then, excellent bullpen management by him
late to bring in glass now or that that was
not at all a push button or easy decision. He

(19:33):
had to go outside the box to make that move.
In the ninth inning, one of the more studding and
stunning endings that I have ever seen to a World
Series game or any major sporting event of this magnitude.
Was just incredible, where the Jays thought that maybe if
the ball is not lodged, that perhaps Miles Strass scores

(19:55):
from first base instead. The umpiring crew John Tom Payne
was on it made the right the lodge ball, so
that means it's a second and third situation, the clement,
the quick pop out, and then all of a sudden,
the double play ball. It's just it's a cunning ending,
but a well deserved win for the Dodgers. I thought
Yamamoto was sen stational, and I think that is probably

(20:17):
the biggest reason of all as to why we're going
to have a seventh game of the World Series less
than twenty four hours from right now.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
No, I gotta tell you, John Paul, you see this
ninth inning, and there's all sorts of drama. Obviously, the play,
the ball getting stuck in a bit between the turf
and between the dirt and the fence. I mean, you've
never seen that before, and here it is, you know,
game six of the World Series. It could be a
game altering play, but overall, yeah, I mean you could say, oh,

(20:47):
if the ball hadn't a bounce and it bounced off
the wall. But I feel like everybody had it right
in the situation. The Dodgers made the right play. And look,
when you're out there in center field, the first thing
it gets stuck. Hey, hey, can't get the ball. Can't
get the ball, runners have to go back. I don't
think the result of that play affected the game as
much because it was it was a two run game

(21:08):
instead of a one run game, and that okay, you
know you still you were still going to have the
tying run at second base no matter what, and the
game still could have ended the way it did with
a line out to left. And of course Barge is
going to try to get off the bag as much
as he can off too much. That's a big mistake
by him, right, And.

Speaker 5 (21:24):
I guess I would say that that if if all,
let's just say for the sake of argument, that if
the ball is not lodge and again a lodge ball.
It's a it's a rare play. It doesn't happen very often,
and when you think about it, one of the more
unique things about a play like this is that anybody
that grows up playing baseball in the US or anywhere
else on the youth field that you play on, it's

(21:48):
a call that never happens because there's no because it
only happens on a wall that has padding, and by definition,
that only comes into play when you're playing professional baseball.

Speaker 6 (21:56):
So you don't see this.

Speaker 5 (21:58):
Play very often. It was called absolutely correctly. You do
see it from time to time, but it's rare, and
certainly rare in the ninth setting of a potentially clinching
vull series game, And so that part of it was unique,
not without precedent, but certainly unique in that regard. And
I think the one thing I would say about the
way the inning unfolded is this, if it is if

(22:23):
it's a double, which it easily could have been, maybe
even a triple, Bargar runs well enough. But let's say
it's a double and Miles Straw somehow scores from first base,
which is possibly one of the facts people in baseball
that would I think change a little bit of it
would just change the circumstances of the clement at that,

(22:44):
it would change where maybe the depth that the Keith
Aaron Anders was playing for the humenes at that it
would maybe change the way that Bargar was leading off
a second base. So the fact that it was the
runners ended up at second and third instead of a
second and a run being in, I think it did
change the way the rest of the inning was approached.

(23:06):
Things had to be exactly the way they were in
so many different ways for that played unfold in that fashion,
similar to the unique ball strike call rather against Darlan
Varshow in Game three at Dodge Stadium, where the whole
scenario and Bobashett being caught off in first base, that
that all happened in a very unique sequence that made

(23:30):
the whole thing possible. And so this is just a
reminder that baseball is the is both the most beautiful
and maddening game there's ever been. It will it will
tantalize you. I mean, second and third, nobody out, bottom
of the ninth inning, Game six of the World Series,
Joe Carter, are you kidding me? I mean, it's it's

(23:51):
all right there. For you, and I think it just
it just calls to mind how how beautiful, how sometimes cruel,
this great game of baseball can be. And when you
think about all the back and forth and what a
topsy turvy series has been, perhaps it is fitting that
we are going to see a seventh game of the
World Series tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (24:10):
Night Glass called in to save it and the defensive
play to earn it. But I mean, Miguel Rojas has
gotta be you get some votes for MVP with his
defensive prowess. I mean that Brier hander earlier in the
game made all these big moments, and Rookie Betts after
the game was crediting him with how he was positioned

(24:32):
in what he was doing in the final innings.

Speaker 5 (24:35):
Just crazy it was, And I think that's the value
of experience. That's also the value of a deep bench.
And when the Dodgers needed to you saw it again
in the eighteen inning game. The Dodgers had better options
to go too late than what the Blue Jays did

(24:55):
in terms of the Jays having to really empty their
bench earlier. They had Tyler Heineman in the game for Kirk,
they had to go to their options early, and the Dodgers.
They have a bench that gives you different looks, different options.
They brought in Dean for defense, they brought in Pachez
for defense. They were able to obviously have Rojas start
the game. And again let's not overlook the really important play.

(25:18):
And I think Joe Davis mentioned this on the broadcast
of Justin Dean and Centerfield. Just put in the game
for defense knowing that in that situation you have to
put your hands up so that way the umpire sees
that you as the outfitter, you're declaring it to be
a lodge ball because you're the closest person to it.
So you turn and you put your hands up to

(25:38):
basically make sure the umpire sees that you can't make
a play on it. And he deemed it his job.
John Tampagne did his job of recognizing it. And again
you've got the credit Dave Roberts for utilizing his bench
in what I think was an absolute masterclass of managing tonight.
Bullpen moves, bench moves, lineup construction. You, Dave Roberts gits

(26:02):
an absolute gold star all across the board for the
job he did tonight.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
You know what I was saying this to Mike before
we had the drama of the ninth inning, I guarantee you.
Schneider goes back and says, why did I walk Otani?
Why did I walk Otani? That gave them that? Why
did I know I should have with a runner at
second and a free base and two out, I should
walk Otani? But that gave the Dodgers the extra run

(26:26):
that made it three to one. I'm sure that's going
to be what he says to himself tonight after the game.

Speaker 5 (26:31):
Yeah, I think among many things, and I actually didn't.
I didn't hate that move. I think you're right. In
the end, it didn't work out because it was a
free base runner that ended up coming around to score.
The Dodgers are here and they have a chance to
win the World Series tomorrow night, really because of one
good inning tonight. Offensively. Now, there's a lot of things
that did defensively and pitching wise, but you're right. I mean,

(26:54):
they did their damage in one single solitary inning, and
in that one inning, I thought Goslin stuff was really good.
Even in that ending, I thought it was really good.
And so I think that from that standpoint, the Dodgers
maybe they they benefited from having Otani be put on
bass there. But I also think this that he Otani

(27:16):
has shown that he's had so many great at bats
in at least isolated games in this series to where
you don't want to give Otani a chance to get
his swings in and get feeling good again, that you
have to pick your spots to attack him and then
also pick your spots to pitch around him. And I
think that was the case as it was tonight. They

(27:37):
just they did not like that spot to have to
try to attack them there with the base open you
put them on. Obviously didn't work out in the end,
but the Jay's had their chances. I thought They're at
back quality was better tonight than it was against Yamamoto
the first time around, and they had their chances against Thesaki.
If you had told me that Yamamoto's out of the
game after six and the Dodger bullpen had to get

(27:59):
nine out outs and that Sasaki was going to struggle
a little bit in the way that he did, my goodness,
I would have said that the Jays would be celebrating
right now. And listen. They once they got second and third,
they they had a hard time executing at the end.
You know, the Clement I wanted those speak on his behalf.
His game is swinging early in the count. That's what

(28:20):
he does, and so it's hard. It's hard, I think,
for anybody to criticize him for swinging the first pitch.
He does that all the time. Now, glassnown made a
good pitch. It ran in enough that it got on
his hands and he wasn't really able to elevate the
ball and get into the outfield. But if that pitch
moves maybe like, you know, half an inch less, he

(28:41):
might he might have dunked that in the right field.
And it's in both run score. I mean, it's the
margins are that small. And I think glass now made
just an excellent, excellent pitch.

Speaker 3 (28:52):
Clement with two hits tonight, And you know, it was
one of the things we commented on right away. JP
was on the replay, what is eye like his eyes
got wide like I got one and then yeah, it
tailed exactly so But you know, you talk, We've talked
a lot about the top of the order for the Dodgers,
and while it wasn't a massive barrage of you know,
an outpouring congo line of runs, got to be encouraged

(29:16):
by the fact all four guys at the top of
the lineup walked and three of the four head hits,
So you know, hey, little breakthroughs after game six, all right, and.

Speaker 5 (29:26):
Mike, that's that's the beauty, by the way of when
you play baseball a long time in the month of
October is that it goes so long that it almost
gives you time to get into and out of slumps. Right,
it's a month of baseball. When you play a month
of baseball games and you're looking at it over the
one sixty two, you're gonna have moments where guys are

(29:48):
trending up and guys are trending down. And and here
you have a Dodger team with plenty of name brand players,
and these are names we've seen in the playoffs year
after year after year, and we know what they're all about.
And it's only a matter of time before Mookie gets
going and Freddie gets going. And I thought tonight, as
much as the game is known as the Moto Game

(30:10):
in so many ways, it was also the Mookie game.
And I thought the way that he was able to
cash in with a huge hit. Tom braduc did a
really good job on the broadcast talking about how he
was under the ball, under the ball that he was,
and he was just level with it. He finally got
on time. And when a hitter that talented gets on time,
watch out. Because you know this was Juni, You'd say, Okay,

(30:32):
here he is. He's going to go off for the
next week or ten days. Well, if he goes off
tomorrow night, it's pretty good chance. The Dodgers are the
World Series champions. So just it's been so much fun
just to watch these characters develop over a month. And
that's what it is. It's like, this is the best
best kind of Hollywood drama mini series. Take any of
your good reality TV whatever, whatever you like to watch.

(30:53):
This is better than all of it. Okay, this is
better than all of it because you've got the players
doing one of the hardest things there is to do
an athletics, which has hit a baseball and then of
course pitch it and field it. And they're doing it
at a time where you're watching their own personal stories
unfold in the midst of the month. Just a beautiful,
a beautiful world series that's that's going to go to

(31:13):
the limit, and we're going to have baseball in November,
and I can't wait for tomorrow night.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
Now, I would say this just just judging by how
Dave Roberts did this. You know what he did in
the ninth inning. Bring in Tyler Glassnow, I would assume
the pitching plan would be Otani to start so you
can take him out of the game and not lose
his DH position. Otani to start, followed by glassnow in
a piggyback situation, and then obviously whatever you need to

(31:39):
do after that. But I assume it will be Otani
to glassnow tomorrow I agree.

Speaker 5 (31:44):
I think Otani starts, and then you're Dave Roberts mentioned this.
Tiken roses a lot of the game. Maybe it's two innings,
maybe it's four, whatever it ends up being. It's it's
probably not seven. It's it's probably a shorter outing than
what we've seen him have in the past. But you
you now have I think some more of the of
the bolt guys. I think Emmitt Sheen, who was who

(32:05):
was an option maybe late in the game today he
could be an option too. I think tomorrow maybe in
more of a bulk role. The left handers. It's interesting
they've they've gone to rob Leski. They seem to so
in some ways trust him a bit more than they
trust Bonder right now. But I think you'll see a
lot of the rightings, So this could be a game
where the Jays really need their lefty bats to get going.

(32:29):
And obviously for for a young player in Barger, it's
a hard way to end the game getting picked off.
That's tough. You got Springer coming up and then the
top of the lineup from there.

Speaker 6 (32:37):
But but you.

Speaker 5 (32:38):
Gotta gotta watch it, gotta let it go because uh,
with playoff baseball like this, you got another game tomorrow,
so it's but yeah, I think from the Dodger perspective,
they'll be seeing a lot of right handed arms, which
which might play into the favor of someone like a Bargar.
It maybe maybe helps him or bar Show or Jimenez
even have have a big game from the left side
tomorrow night.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
All right, real quickly, John Paul, as you are our
celebrity Lions picker, your wrecord this year is incredible. I
believe seven and one picking Lions games Lions vikings on Sunday,
what do you got?

Speaker 5 (33:13):
The Detroit Lions win that football game by a score
of thirty one to twenty Detroit Lions thirty one, Minnesota twenty.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
How about that, John Paul Morosi, who is seven and
one against the spread, not just seven to one, picking
games seven and one against the spread, celebrity Lions picker.
Add that to your bio, John Paul, as always, thank
you so much. Enjoy game seven to morrow. We'll talk
to you next week.

Speaker 5 (33:39):
I love it, guys, and enjoy game seven. Beautiful words.
What a great weekend of football and baseball. Certainly tomorrow night, everybody,
just clear your challengers. It's all baseball tomorrow night.

(34:21):
lead the Toronto Blue Jays three to one as they
bat trying to even the World Series at three games.
Apiece more in this game in a few minutes with
Steve Desager and What's trending, but now joining us on
the hot line for another big week of college football.
The owner, editor, proprietor Grand Pooba of College Footballnews dot com.

(34:42):
All the previews, all the prognostications, all the analysis you
could possibly want. He is on Twitter at Pete Futech.
He is currently watching the signature win of the Bill
Belichick era in North Carolina, and he joins us now
on the hot line to break it all down. What's
happened in Pete.

Speaker 6 (34:58):
I'm trying to watch it, you know, me and you
know other people don't have it on the regular TV,
so it doesn't actually exist. So uh yeah, but yeah,
all of a sudden, you know, the car Hills became
the greatest show on turf. I mean, what's you know

(35:19):
for a game that, for the love of God, should
be going to the under and all of a sudden
they decided to score a lot in this game and
just not pretty for the Orange.

Speaker 1 (35:28):
Well, I'll tell you this, I could really, really and
I'm being serious, I could really, really, really make a
great argument that Steve Vangeli is your heisman Trophy winner
this year, I have a difference in the leading passer
in the country. Syracuse beats Clemson. Now North Carolina, which
has beaten Charlotte and Richmond has limited Syracuse to one
hundred and twenty yards of offense in the middle of

(35:48):
the fourth quarter.

Speaker 6 (35:49):
Well, here's the defense has actually been great. It's been
in all everyone's thunder dunking on Belichick because this isn't
working out great in the first six games in a rebuild,
and everyone's expecting Dion part two and craziness and Michael
Jordan and fun.

Speaker 7 (36:05):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (36:06):
But you know, it's the offense that's the problem. The
defense has been absolutely terrific, especially as the year has
gone on. Against the run, it's just this this he
has figured it out. But the offense had created new
and exciting ways not to score and then all of
a sudden they get Syracuse and well that's that cures
that be for right now.

Speaker 3 (36:27):
Cu Sha, Jason's got at least enough distractions with the
you know, the Bulls and the Knicks and you know
that pesky World Series thing, Pete, It's very pesky.

Speaker 6 (36:39):
Yeah, it's good, you know, thank goodness for it for tonight,
you know, because it's on, you know, for some of us.
But uh yeah, it's entertaining. Okay, it's baseball. We'll forget it,
you know, when it's over, but you know, for now, Yeah,
this is this is fun to be had by lots
of people. These pretty good world seriod. It's pretty entertaining.

Speaker 3 (36:58):
Highly if only my team could play past October first.
But that's a story for another time. Let's get into
who have a Twins.

Speaker 6 (37:06):
From Minneapolis, a place that has not had a team
in one of the poor four sports championships since the
Twins won and off from Jack Morris.

Speaker 1 (37:15):
You hired You hired a guy that got fired by
the Pirates because they were losing too much in June. Oh,
that's our guy. That's the guy that's going to be
the Twins manager.

Speaker 3 (37:25):
Great, see see what you did? Now? You took Pete
down a deep, dark highway. All right, Kay, let's do
this before we get to the games of the weekend.
The coaching carousel. Some reports that Lastly is gonna get
an extension through thirty two and make a lot of money.
It seems like you'd be a nice time to be
an agent for some of these coaches. With the carousel

(37:48):
spinning as it did in the post Brian Kelly being
the latest to join the unemployment line.

Speaker 6 (37:55):
You know what, You're never gonna hear a positive word
from me about Brian Kelly for a full flew of reasons.
But the dude, look, I know, you're supposed to win
national championships at LSU. But in his first two years
he won ten games in each year and finished in
the top fifteen. Last year he won nine games, and

(38:17):
you know, it was three for three in bowl games.
And this season, you know, you know, his team lost
to you know, Vanderbilt, who turns out to be pretty
good and lots of a Texas A and M team
that's probably the best team in the SEC and definitely
one of the top three teams in America and whack.
You know, So, like, I get it, I get that,

(38:37):
you know, fans are grumbling, but it's it's kind of
a it's insane how this is working out, because you know,
there's only one ring kissing to go around, you know,
so I'm not exactly sure who's who all these great
coaches are. I mean, if you think about Branco's the
winningest coach in the history of Notre Dame. He did

(38:57):
take them to a BCS championship game they throttled, and
you know, we did get into another college football playoff.
And he as a football coach, he's been pretty good
this year. Okay, it didn't really work out, but again,
you know, who are these coaches who are going to
all of a sudden pop up and be the next guy.
I still think if if you want to be a player,

(39:19):
Lauria Lsu, step up kurch Netty's buyout. It's only fifteen million.
That's you want to coach, don't go buy him out
from Indiana. Say hey, let's give you more money.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
All right, so let's do this, then, Pete, let's match
make the three big openings right now. We got Penn State,
we got Florida, and we have Lsu. Now take RTT
Lashley off the board because he's getting a two year
extension SMU and he probably would have been up for
one of those jobs if I say we start with
Penn State, if you could match, make Penn State the
best choice for them or.

Speaker 6 (39:51):
Who James Franklin. Okay, but but he's he's not going
to be it. He's probably gonna be at Virginia Tech.
Is like the little Dottle but going. But the problem
is it's I'm just gonna say Lane Kiffen for all
three jobs because he is the best coach going. I'm

(40:12):
not sold that he's going to really be that hot
as Florida as everyone thinks he is. In LSU, I
don't know why people would take that gig, because again,
you can't if you're not winning a national championship, you're whack.
Now you're gonna be given fifty million dollars to leave.
But it's not a fun type of job. So unless

(40:33):
you've got some sort of you know, you know, matchmaking
thing happening where you're gonna like take the next you know,
the hot shot guy, like you know Eric Morris of
North Texas or you know Alex Golish of South Florida.
You know John Sumrall's team didn't exactly show up last
night for Tulane on a game they should have won.
But he's probably the LSU guy, if you know, just

(40:56):
because he's in Louisiana. And the other guy to remember
to watch is can always have a way of loving
the coach who beat them For years, Alabama and the
whole SEC had a love affair with you freeze because
he beat Nick Saban a couple of times. That's not
working out for Auburn. LSU fans just watched Clark Lee
beat their LSU team. Oh so he must be a

(41:18):
good coach because he beat our team. So he's going
to be front and center for a lot of these jobs.
And remember James Franklin did go from Vanderbilt tu Penn State,
and it wouldn't be shocking if Penn they did that again.

Speaker 3 (41:29):
Double dip going down that road for Lane Tiffany. He's
just an interesting case, Stu. I mean, obviously we always
want trade it all for a little bit more. He
got paid at a number of jobs. Can he just
be king there and build a little fiefdom?

Speaker 6 (41:44):
Not kind of, but that's not really it. Why would
you want to necessarily just look, there is a thing
about this like what is the best job? And remember
Ole miss for being a big SEC school, it's not
a great historical program, haven't won a lot. The problem
is they don't have the money. They have roughly I
want to say one hundred and fifty million ish in

(42:05):
revenue coming in, which is a lot of money. You know,
it's pocket change to most of us. But that's okay.
But like by comparison, you know, Texas gets brings in
like three hundred and thirty million. You know, Penn State's
about two twenty ish, Florida's about two hundred, Elis Use
about two hundred. And this is only going to go
up for the big ten schools, you know, once they

(42:26):
do find a suitor to you know, give them all
this sort of hedge fund money that they're trying to
give away. So it's there's a lot of money on
the table for him to go somewhere else, not just
for him, but for a program that because you know
there were money's just gonna be no object whatsoever.

Speaker 1 (42:40):
Well look at it this way, Dete. After last week,
whatever it is to get Jerry Neuheisel has probably come
down a bit, so he's probably gonna be easier to gain.

Speaker 6 (42:49):
You have to facture for hair care, he's going to
ask for his own harmar. I hope he stip with
stick with Skipper. I mean, like, I don't know, we
can see he could do that. He saved him from
an zero to twelve season, and you know, I hope
they kind of keep the guy around as is, And
you know, keep no lecture Mike for Jerry new heisl

(43:10):
But that's UCLA should be a premier job. That is
one of those gigs that that should should be amazing.
Ucla should be great at college football, and for whatever reason,
the infrastructure there when it comes to that just doesn't click.

Speaker 1 (43:26):
All right, So we got big news today. Arch Manning
cleared protocol. He's going to start tomorrow one of the
biggest games in college football. We have Texas and Vanderbilt.
Beginning of the season, you said stock up on arch Manning,
stock down on Texas. So far Texas has been kind
of stock down. Arch Manning is maybe getting stock up.

(43:46):
Where are you right now? On both Arch Manning and Texas.

Speaker 6 (43:49):
Texas they are who we thought they were. That's exactly
the team I thought it was going to be. I
predicted nine and three ish before the season that it
wasn't going to be as hot as everyone loved them
could be. Certainly not the number one team in the country.
I was expecting arch to be a lot better. I mean,
he's fine, it's okay, but he's not getting any First
of all, he don't get any help whatsoever from his

(44:11):
offensive line. Last year's line was way better. This group
has a bunch of NFL talented it's just not meshing.
There's a zero running game helping him out. The defense
is certainly there, and his receivers aren't giving him a
whole lot of help either, So I don't want to
say that he certainly hasn't made everyone better around him.
But again, he's just getting started. You can see the

(44:34):
tools are there. I'm a little bit of an apologist,
but man, for a team that was supposed to be
play for the national championship and it still could. I mean,
if it wins out, it's ten and two and going
to go to the College football playoffs, so there's still
a shot. I think they beat Vanderbilt tomorrow and they
keep they stay alive, but barely.

Speaker 3 (44:50):
Pete, As we look at the rest of this light,
you got one other top twenty five matchup Oklahoma Tennessee
any of the other top twenty five squads that you've
got an eye towards it up to upset.

Speaker 6 (45:00):
I don't have the big upset hanging out there for anybody.
I do want to see Maryland against Indiana. I still
keep waiting. I'm not one of these people think, oh, well,
the bubble's gonna birst in Indiana soon. But I do
think that it is the type of team that's a
little bit overdue for more of a fight. Remember, they
needed to have that quirky safety to get by Iowa

(45:21):
on the road. They did, you know, it's Oregon. Organs
are good, but they did have to fight to get
past them on the road. Maryland is a desperate team
and they do a lot of things right. I don't
think they're gonna have enough and be tight enough to
be able to pull this off, but that'd be kind
of a fun shootout where the Turfs can at least
make this interesting and then the other team I really
want to see. It's not a top twenty five game.

(45:43):
You want to talk about an existential moment. What is Colorado?
Because if anybody saw that first half last week, and
it turns out if you paid attention to social media,
not a lot of people did. If it was anybody
else but Dion Sanders at that job, we'd be kind
of talking this year three and that performance where that

(46:05):
was probably the worst performance in the first half by
any Power five program this season, and then they got
completely annihilated. They need to come out and just take
down Arizona. This is one of those moments where okay,
coach Prime, if you're good at this and you can
fix the glitches after that performance, you get that team

(46:25):
up for that game and you've gotta beat Arizona.

Speaker 1 (46:29):
He's on Twitter at Pete Futech. That is at Petfutech
college Footballnews dot com. You're one stop shopping for everything
you need college football Pete. As always, Buddy, appreciate it, man,
enjoy the games. We'll talk to you next week. Pretty guys,
see b Thanks Jason Smith, Mike Harmon Love from the
Fox Sports Radio studios. We have more on the moment.
This is the moment of the World Series right now,

(46:52):
Game six, eighth inning, one out, Nobody on Roki Sasaki
into either get it to Game seven or the Blue
Jays are going to win the World Series. We'll have
more on this coming up next as well as we
continue our Big Football Friday preview here on Halloween, another
big week in the NFL. We look at all the
big games coming up next. Right here, Jason and Mike Fox,

(47:16):
it is time to play Magic. Hitting up his Twitter
account following the game, so we play the Magic Johnson
Twitter game no more obvious and vanilla tweeter in the
world than Magic Johnson. So we play the Magic Johnson
Twitter game. It's pretty simple, but it's also very complicated.
I give you a tweet, you have to tell me

(47:37):
if it is a Magic Johnson tweet or made up
by me playing as myself. Mike Harmon, Steve Desager, Ian Roddy,
Mary Mack. Are you ready?

Speaker 3 (47:48):
Let's sir, Hell yeah, let's do it.

Speaker 1 (47:51):
What a double play by Keith, ky Hernandez and Miguel Rojas.
We have game seven? Is that a Magic Johnson tweet?

Speaker 3 (48:01):
How many exclamation points? After Game seven? Two?

Speaker 1 (48:05):
What a double play by Miguel by by k hernette
Is and Miguel Rojas. We have game seven to exclamation point?

Speaker 3 (48:12):
That is a Magic Johnson. Okay, yes, I'll say yea.

Speaker 7 (48:17):
My first instinct was yes, but I'm just a zag
I'm gonna say no.

Speaker 1 (48:21):
Okay, Mary, what do you got?

Speaker 3 (48:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (48:25):
That is, in fact not a Magic Johnson tweet. No,
just just go on the other side. I even got
Mary on the reveal. That's another outstanding pitching performance by
Yama Moto to help lead us to a three to

(48:45):
one victory over the Blue Jays and force game seven?
Is that a magic Johnson tweet? No, because he always
uses a full name. Another outstanding pitching performance by Yama
Moto to help lead us to a three won victory
over the Blue Jays and forced game seven. Okay, harmon's
a no. All right, that's a no. Ian where are you?

Speaker 3 (49:08):
I'm gonna say no as well on that one.

Speaker 1 (49:10):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (49:11):
I trust Mike on the full name thing.

Speaker 1 (49:13):
That sounds okay.

Speaker 3 (49:15):
I don't know, dang, it might not be, but I'm
already that because the first one wasn't. So what it is?
We need someone say. This is how she's thinking about
it a little too much.

Speaker 1 (49:26):
See Mary, Now you get the more you think about it,
the more difficult.

Speaker 3 (49:29):
Ending your mind. And remember when that happens, Magic Johnson
wins because the full name does make sense. So I'm
just I'm just gonna say no to be safe.

Speaker 1 (49:38):
All right. Well, you guys all said that is a
magic Johnson the tweet, Yes, just said y'a Mamoto. There were,
in fact, though, five exclamation points after game seven. Okay,
we're five five after that five.

Speaker 3 (49:55):
He's really changing things up. Yeah, Well, I say, well,
it's like the name thing because he's normally first and last.
He is usually a stickler for that too long he
ran out of characters, especially if he was going to
use all those exclamation points and still.

Speaker 1 (50:14):
Buckle in you guys, buckled in Dodger Nation. The World
Series is tied three to three. If we win tomorrow,
we win the title.

Speaker 3 (50:25):
Oh, how dare you? Is how dare you?

Speaker 1 (50:28):
A magic? Because you have no no, no, no, but
you have to go down the rabbit.

Speaker 3 (50:34):
Hole right Based on the tweet he sent earlier this week,
this is why we're in the fifth Ring of Hell
because it is so he? Did he double down to
be fake after getting his ten million clicks? Did he
double down to.

Speaker 1 (50:49):
Give everybody the backdrop on this magic? Johnson tweeted out
after after Game two that hey, everybody, the World Series
is tied to two games apiece. The winner of Game
five gets a big advantage in the World Series. That
was a tweet earlier this week. If the Dodgers win tomorrow,
they win the title.

Speaker 3 (51:12):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he doubled down. Yeah, whoever runs his
account doubled down?

Speaker 1 (51:18):
No, I stand for him.

Speaker 3 (51:20):
No, Yeah, I'm gonna say no as well.

Speaker 7 (51:22):
Jason, I think you're trying to trick us by doing
the double like, I think you're bringing up his former tweets.

Speaker 1 (51:29):
You know, you guys just sound angry right now. I
mean you guys said correct dang all right, so Mary,
you're the last one.

Speaker 3 (51:41):
Damn it got her swearing?

Speaker 1 (51:44):
Now what.

Speaker 3 (51:49):
On Halloween celebratory. I'm gonna say, yeah, why not?

Speaker 1 (51:55):
That is a tweet made up by me. That is
not a magic.

Speaker 3 (52:09):
Tweetome Ga, No, it should have started going down that
rabbit hole. It's like, all right, it's something Smith would do,
but it's definitely something Magic Quid do.

Speaker 7 (52:19):
But every time you play it adds a new layer
to it because it's like, now he's going to be
thinking that we think it's something that he would think
that we think that.

Speaker 1 (52:27):
Now it do and straight, what the hell are you
saying right there? So clearly I cannot choose the glass
in front of me. What the world can that be?
Mookie Bets drove in two runs, Will Smith the third run,
I can't wait until tomorrow go Dodgers's tweet to a

(52:48):
Magic Johnson tweet. Mookie Bets drove in two runs and
Will Smith the third run, I can't wait until tomorrow
Go Dodgers.

Speaker 7 (52:56):
I mean he's reporting the news. He's given a little
little insight. I'm gonna say it is a real tweet.

Speaker 3 (53:01):
I'll go with it. I'll follow your lead. There are
you following the Princess Bride?

Speaker 7 (53:05):
I'll say, as you wish. I'm not even on this
on the board like I'm kind of mad already.

Speaker 3 (53:12):
It's okay, your your job is not on the line.

Speaker 7 (53:17):
I'm gonna say, as far as you know, I think,
I'm gonna say, no, it's not.

Speaker 1 (53:23):
A Magic Johnson tweet. Inconceivable, that is in fact a
Magic Johnson tweet. Yes, Magic Johnson. Yeah, that out there
we go to You have about Mookie Betts and Will
Smith using both names. Didn't you use him for Yamamoto? There?

(53:45):
I'll tell you this was a very difficult edition.

Speaker 3 (53:48):
Mary, what do you think? What do you think Magic
Johnson was trying to send in a message? Eight seven seven?
I know what Mary's saying right now. You killed my
segment and prepare to die. Mary respond, no comment.

Speaker 1 (54:03):
The only rule not known more than this is never
get involved in a land war in Asia. This if
we were doing this, I would grade this on aur
in Asia.

Speaker 3 (54:12):
That's a different thing. We're sitting playing.

Speaker 1 (54:16):
You know, Australia is popular entirely by criminals, so I
would put this on a curve. I was grading this
in school because there's a very difficult edition of The
Magic Johnson.

Speaker 3 (54:25):
No, I was well done, though. I thought you did
a good job. This might have been one of your
finer moments.

Speaker 1 (54:30):
But I but I love the fact that now that
Magic tweeted that about game. You know, with the series
tied to to apiece and game three, a Game five
winner gets an advantage, Like I feel like now I
can really make up stuff and be even more obvious
because he's opened the door to that.

Speaker 3 (54:44):
Oh yeah, who is.

Speaker 6 (54:47):
The twenty year old intern that actually tweeted that out
for him?

Speaker 3 (54:51):
That's what I want to know.

Speaker 1 (54:52):
If you wouldn't know what you would think, he's has
AI do it Like that's what.

Speaker 3 (54:57):
Hey, hey, kick me out of tweet In my voice,
I think.

Speaker 7 (55:02):
AI would would would help them and make make these
tweets better than they are.

Speaker 1 (55:06):
Yeah maybe maybe maybe, but that would it would be
the Magic Johnson AI Twitter game, which would be a
whole new thing.

Speaker 3 (55:13):
Maybe he's got his homecoming, his whole other app coming out.
I'm magine Johnson interpreter app.

Speaker 1 (55:19):
If he tweets again, we'll bring you another edition to
the game coming up next hour on the show. But

we got more baseball coming up in a few but
it's a big, big question to ask with Game six Halloween,
I mean, really a lot of sports tonight.

Speaker 3 (56:19):
It really sports it up up in here. I mean
we got Luca Dodges back on the court. Four points regulated,
your guy, See what I did there? Regulating?

Speaker 1 (56:30):
We got some, we got relegated. See if you get
there there, Mike Doug, you I seed you. There were
two g's you have, Mike Doug, I see you today. Uh,
but we do have basketball on the way too. Big
night in the NBA. Right got college football the big
signature win of the Bill Belichick ra at North Carolina
against Syracuse. But uh, Sunday, the day after the World Series,

(56:52):
the world is going to stop at one twenty five
pm Pacific time, four to twenty five on the East
Coast because we are getting Chiefs bills from Buffalo. Look,
thirty million people are gonna watch this game. It's gonna
be it's it's that big a deal. We have a
pretty good slate on Sunday, but this by far is

(57:12):
the absolute biggest game. The Chiefs have righted their season.
They're now trendy.

Speaker 3 (57:18):
Hey.

Speaker 1 (57:18):
I never wavered from the Chiefs at all when they
were I never wavered they the Chiefs. I always said
they were gonna be good. Yeah, okay, yes, the Chiefs
are a little bit better. The Chiefs are also five
and three. Okay, let's understand this. This is the week
the Kansas City chief Super Bowl train gets derailed Buffalo Bills,

(57:42):
and not how you think the Bills are gonna run
all over the Chiefs for four quarters. Right for now,
I don't mean for good, but for now, James Cook
is the biggest implement in that Bills offense. As great
as Josh Allen is, right, MVP. As great as he is.
He even said this week, I have no problem just
turning a hand in the ball to James Cook right

(58:03):
two hundred yard game last week. This is what they
paid him for. He's one of the best running backs
in the NFL. You forget about him sometimes, but this
offense right now is his and they are going to
feed him the football the entire day.

Speaker 5 (58:17):
Now.

Speaker 1 (58:18):
Eventually you'll get back to Josh Allen having to pull
games out a little bit the more he gets in
rapport with his receivers and his tight ends, because it's
still kind of hit and miss. You thought they were
really getting into a groove, that Allen was figuring things
out because he doesn't have the stud wide receiver anymore. Depending
how this year goes, maybe the Bills make a change
in that after this year, but right now, Buffalo's been

(58:39):
kind of meandering a little bit so far. This is
where things change. The game they've been looking forward to
on the schedule, you know, has been this one. Sometimes teams,
good teams need those games that are going to lift
you up and get you to that next level. This
is that game for the Chiefs. They've been keeping them

(58:59):
from the super Bowl for the past five years. This
is a situation where I'm not happy about the spread
because for the Chiefs to be favored with the Bills
at home, I'm like, ooh, really the track game. But
I'm gonna ignore that. I'm gonna ignore it, ignore like
it doesn't exist. I love tons of points. I love
the over most of all because for some reason it's

(59:20):
fifty two and a half and not ninety two and
a half. But the Bills win this game. Their offense
is terrific, they force a couple of turnovers. The Chiefs
offense a little bit of a derailment. They fall to
five and four. This is the game the Bills have
been looking forward to. They get the w and they
all of a sudden, we say, maybe this is the
best team in the af.

Speaker 3 (59:40):
Look at you trying to get on board that, and
that's the thing I fear though, is that you don't
have that receiver downfield, something we talked about a bit
on the I Want Jior Flex edition for this one,
because we do have that juicy fifty two and a half.
Biggest spread or biggest point total for the week is
actually the Monday night game. We'll see how much that
change if it is in fact Brissette instead of Kyler

(01:00:02):
Murray against the Cowboys. But that's for another time for
this one. You know the Chiefs on the commp you
watch the first two games back with Rashi Rice. It's
been a fantastic connection he and Mahomes and just spreading
the ball around. No Pacheco this time. More Kareem Hunt,
more Brashad Smith out of the backfield, so expect to
see more of him in the passing game and the

(01:00:24):
distribution thusly, but they can run the ball on the Bills,
and I think that's where perhaps they can play a
little bit of ground control and pick their spots downfield.
I'll take the Chiefs. I'll lay the two plus. I
think they win going away. But it's a high scoring
game and the Bills have to go back lick their wounds,
and then they'll have about thirty six hours to make

(01:00:44):
a trade to help that wid.

Speaker 1 (01:00:47):
Hey, you know the funny thing is if that happens,
that's absolutely going to be how the Bills react. They're
absolutely going to say, you know what, we can't just
think that we're going to get it done throwing the football. Yes,
we have a bunch of bodies in here, but if
it's not going well at this point, absolutely they will
make a trade. Maybe it's Jacoby Myers, maybe it's something else,
but they will absolutely bring a number one wide receiver

(01:01:09):
if that happens, which I don't think will because they're
gonna win the game, but if it does happen, I'm
with you, they go make it. Dal.

Speaker 5 (01:01:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:01:14):
Normally people wear signs that say kick me. He's been
wearing one that says trade me for about two months.

Speaker 1 (01:01:20):

question of Game six of the World Series. Fox Sports
