Speaker 1 (00:00):
And welcome back to sandaz Is with Brandon and Tyler.
We are in a different studio this time around, but
we are in the iHeart Studios, so cool. We are
here to do the MLB Playoff brackets, or rather discuss
what we put together that I uploaded to the social

(00:21):
media's yesterday. So Helo, let's start with yours. You have
the one with the Cubs winning the I know Wild
Card Series against San Diego.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
Yes. So the reason why I kind of said the
Cubs over the Padres is because I've seen about the
history of those two teams. The Cubs have recently they've
been more dominant and more like hungry for wanting to

(01:01):
be in the at least the NLDS. I know they
want some Cub fans out there, they want to be
in the World Series, but that ain't gonna happen this year. No.
What I'm saying is that the Cubs statistically for that
series are kind of the better team. But we'll see
how San Diego does. I want San Diego to win,

(01:24):
but I wouldn't be mad if the Cubs win, because
I then want the Milwaukee Brewers to kick the shit
out of the out of the.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Cubs naturally, and of course with like San Diego and
the Cubs, the Brews actually have a losing record this
season against both teams. Where the Cubs, I'd like to say,
are they're like they lost this series the season series
by like one game, but they lost like two, like

(01:58):
they lost four games rather than one two games against
San Diego. However, with one of those games, I'm a
firm believer Milwaukee would have won if the umpire wasn't
a garbage and missed twenty five calls and exactly the
ABS challenge, And yeah, if we had there was ABS challenge,
Milwaukee would have won that game.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Oh, they would have. They totally would have won that
game if there was the challenge.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
Yeah, and then uh, of naturally, I also had a
joke bracket where the uh Cincinnati would beat l A
not gonna happen. Uh yeah, it's it's just kind of funny.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
You know what. Uh, well, we'll go through the each stages.
Talk about your joke bracket.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Yeah, so my joke bracket, I have the uh, I
have Cincinnati beating LA in the wild Card series. That
could have happened, but how the only reason why it's like, hey,
let's do this as a joke. Bracket for this one is, uh,
Cincinnati's won the Hotter Teams League along with Cleveland. So
I was like, hey, let's do this. It'll be hilarious.

(03:04):
And plus, you know, we don't really like La around
these here parts.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
No, we do not like the Dodgers. What I was
gonna say is, yes, the Reds while interesting. Remember remember
who was in that spot. It was the Mets. Loll
Mets are eternal.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
Oh yeah, that's such a glorious meme. And like the Dodgers,
they're they're just like, yeah, they're the Dodgers are probably
gonna win that series. But if the Cincinnati wins, it'll
be the funniest thing on the planet.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
I would expect it to be the funniest thing on
the planet. I mean, I'm going to laugh. Oh if
the Dodgers shit the bed.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
Oh if that happens to the Dodgers, or if that
goes three games, I will laugh.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
You know what, I'd laugh because the Reds are statistically
the worst team probably in the playoffs.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Eighty three wins, just like the six card.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Yeah, so they're they're the worst team in the playoffs.
But if you think about it. The worst team could
surprise you.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
Yes, because other teams like playing down to like down
to their level, which allows them just absolutely whoop them. Right,
So it's not all then, but it's hilarious.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
And come to think about it, if you think about
the Dodgers, are gonna get cocky. Yes, they're gonna get
very cocky because they're gonna go, well, we're playing the Reds.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
So.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
They're going to get cocky. They're gonna go, well, we
can whoop the Reds all the way to next Sunday.
But I feel like the Reds will at least maybe
win one game. Yeah, well, like they won't get sweat. No,
it's it's gonna be funny like either way. And then
we have in Detroit for the ALE wild Card Game.

(04:49):
Let's go to the Ale, so Cleveland and Detroit. You know,
it would have been flipped if Detroit didn't lose all
those games. They tanked pretty hard.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
Well, yeah, they they had the best record in baseball
going into the Austin Break. And then as of like
August first, this massive class. It's as massive as the
claps as low Mets, because law Mets at one point
had the best record in the League in May and
now they're out of the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
And guess who The best record in the MLB belongs
to Milwaukee.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
Yes, yeah, so I expect Cleveland to honestly sleep Detroit
because of how bad Detroit has been. Cleveland is just
that hot.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
I don't think they'll sweep them. I think they'll take one.
But which one? Game one?

Speaker 1 (05:32):
Because Schooble pitching.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Game one or Game two.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
At least Game one is where Schooble's pitching.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
That again, that doesn't matter sometimes, But what I'm going
to say is that Cleveland will probably win that series. Now,
if we go to uh Yankee Boston, for example, Boston's
gonna win all the way.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Oh yeah, no, Boston's winning that. Uh is it gonna
be two or three games? Because if it's in two games,
it's because they own the Yankees. But at the same time,
if the Yankees were to win one game, it's not
surprise because Yankees have gotten hot.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Who has the home field advantage.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
It's in New York. But Boston has destroyed yet Yankee
in New York. In fact, I got a funny little
thing of audio for when the Yankees lose. Oh oh yeah,
I'm gonna play it right now. Yeah, Oh, funniest thing ever.

(06:37):
And it just keeps going on like that, and that
the end just goes into standard like New York, New York.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
You should find something for if the Dodgers lose against
the Reds.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Oh, I'll definitely try and find something. But that is
one of the funniest things.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Now.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
Well, the studio where we're able to use this time
because no one's in the building basically is the Wyva studio,
which makes everything really easy to just slide in audio
files where the going I can just fade it in
and out.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
So let's go with the ds is now. So let's
say Cleveland Seattle, Cleveland Seattle.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
That'll be a good series.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
That'll be a good series. It'll probably go.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
Five, four or five, Yeah, like five because Cleveland's hot.
But Seattle has won like four out of six of
those games.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
So I think Seattle will take it at least in four.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
Maybe for five. I would say even five because Cleveland
is hot.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
And then if we go to Boston and Toronto, Toronto,
that'll be a good series.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
Yes, that one up. Toronto has won the season series
four to two. It all depends on what Boston team
shows up because it is against Toronto. It's not the
Yankees where there's going to colaborum.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Right, So I still see Toronto winning it.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
You see Toronto winning. I have Seattle winning at that
one will probably go six or seven.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
Oh no, no, no, I'm sorry. We're still talking about the DS, right.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
Oh oh, we're talking about the Alcs. Yeah, the DS.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
Toronto's winning, Toronto's winning that I haven't We haven't talked
about the NLDS or whatever. So Dodgers and Phillies, who
do you got?

Speaker 1 (08:12):
I my bracket. I have picked Philly each and every time.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
We both picked Philly because we don't want to see
the Dodgers in the.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
It's like I don't want to see Philly either because
they did win it in eight. I want anyone who
has won it no later than like two thousand. I
want those teams to be in the World Series.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
That'd be nice. Oh, absolutely, especially if it's uh, you know,
Seattle or Milwaukee. What everybody wants?

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Oh yeah, that most people want that matchup.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
So and now let's talk about the Cubs and the
Brewers first.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
That before we go over my bracket before we go
because all my brackets have San Diego going against Milwaukee.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
Yeah, let's talk about the Cubs and the Brewers first. Statistically,
the Brewers and the Cubs do have a good matchup.
I don't who's won most majority of that series, Verds.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
The Cubs have won one extra game, but one of
those extra games came from a magical snow cone that
the Cub's second basement did in the at the end
of the game. Otherwise that would have been a basic
that probably would have put Milwaukee ahead.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
So if I think statistically Milwaukee will probably win that
series five, it'll go.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
Five, and like Milwaukee and Chicago have had the best series,
and remember for the past ten years.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
And remember Milwaukee will have home field advantage throughout the
entire playoffs, yep, because they have the best record in
the league. Yes, So if we go NLCS Milwaukee versus Philly, yep.
I know we want everything to be Milwaukee, but statistically

(09:53):
I feel like it's going to be Philly.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
And if you look at the series between the season
series between the two, Milwaukee owned an has the better
record and want beat more like a games that Philly
won against Milwaukee. However, that was like the they swept
Philly when Harper was injured. But when Harper came back,
Milwaukee only won one of those games.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
And if we see a pattern with the Milwaukee Birds,
they usually get down the division series or the Championship series.
They never make it to the World Series.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
The last time they did they lost in seven against
Saint Louis and that was an eighty two and two.
That's forty some years ago. The teams are not do
not correlate with each other. They're completely separate into these correct.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
And then if we go to the ALCS Toronto versus Sattle.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
Now the Cleveland Seattle series is that's going to go?
Like I guess we said like four or five games, but.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
I swear if Cleveland wins it done, I'm done.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
Well, like Seattle and Toronto, I have Seattle winning.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
I would also have Seattle winning. They're the underdogs in
this series.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
Well, it's like the analyst Seattle though, like they're like
there's a lot of teams that even the Vegas Odds
puts them a second most likely win the World Series
this year.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
Here's my thing. If we can get the Dodgers out
and we can get the Yankees out, I'll be fine.
Boston's next I'm sorry, Will, if you're listening to this.
I'm not a Boston fan. I'm more of a Brewers
fan and a White Sox fan. But statistically speaking, Boston
will probably not win against Toronto.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
Yeah, and although let's be realth like we would like
a Milwaukee Boston World Series because then we get to go,
get we get to go. But for watching purposes, I
would love a Milwaukee Seattle right now. It could also
very well be Toronto versus Seattle. That would also be
pretty not Turran versus Seattle, because that's ALCS Toronto versus

(11:48):
Milwaukee World Series that would be Also that was about to.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
Say, Toronto versus Milwaukee would be an interesting and very
very good series. It'll probably go at least six games.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yes, Milwaukee versus Seattle likely go sex.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
If anything, There's not much I could predict for the
Championship NL.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
What the CS is literally just like it's basically six
seven games guaranteed.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
It's basically if Milwaukee makes it past the Dodgers or
the Phillies, then that's a game. If you did that,
then you you you pray and hope they win the
World Series.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
Well, you you'd think that the World Series winner is
most likely out of the NL because of how mid
the ALE has been this year.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
Look at how kat it might surprise you because you
still got Seattle in Toronto.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
Seattle in Toronto with how hot Cleveland has been. So yeah,
I suppose if.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
You think about it, you we there hasn't been a
champion out of the AL since.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
Let me think, thinking gears turning, I can't Washington was NL, right,
Washington was n L yet Well yeah, actually let's.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
Hold on, let's go let's go back.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
So Texas, yep, that was in twenty three, which, as
I know, Texas was ALE.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
Okay, so that's the last time they won it. Yeah,
that's the So what hasn't been that far that the
AL has won it?

Speaker 1 (13:18):
Correct?

Speaker 2 (13:22):
I'm not going to say the last time the Anna
won it because the.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
Tani it's just called Otani the series and Judge being
the biggest playoff choker on the planet. I frets again
why I have this going because you know we it's
Judge being in the playoffs. He disappears like a ghost.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
Also, cal Riley basically stole the MVP from Judge.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
Well, the thing is, the vote is actually ended up
being very close because the votes do today due to
playoff games being tomorrow. They got that out last week Sunday.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
And how close are we?

Speaker 1 (14:04):
How close are we?

Speaker 2 (14:05):
Well?

Speaker 1 (14:06):
How I figure the first place vote is going to
come down to like two or three most likely because
of how razor thin it is they are, Like a
lot of people are picking Judge because he holds mostly
offensive numbers. And the reason why Judge Cal is as
close as he is is because he is a first
catcher to hit sixty home runs, first switch hit or
hit sixty home runs?

Speaker 2 (14:27):
Did he end at sixty or sixty one?

Speaker 1 (14:28):
He ended at sixty? Okay, judge home run record is
sixty two, but some say that's one of his worst
MVP seasons. And with Cal he hit like two forty
seven to forty five something like that, while Judge hit
like three thirty. Judge has hit fifty three home runs
this year. But Cal also is a catcher with gold
glove or Platinum glove defense, and no catcher has ever

(14:51):
done that. So when you go historical and fund they'd
pick Cal. If they go by pure offensive statistical numbers
are easier measure than defense of ones, then Judge would
win it by again like a voter two maybe three.
I personally like Cal, but because of Judge only being
out for like two and a half weeks. Cal's also young,
and Judge is like thirty three, three or four and

(15:13):
is one of the best offensive hitters of our generation.
If Judge was hurt the rest of the year, then
during the trade deadline, the Yankees said like, oh, yeah,
we're prepared to sell the deadline if Judge wasn't going
to be able to come back, because the Yankees are
absolutely horrendous without Judge. Right, So it's like that's where

(15:35):
it's kind of hard to guess. We won't know what
the final vote total is until after the playoffs, but
the by the end of the day today, the votes
will have finished being casted, right, and.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
We won't know that until the end of the playoffs.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
Correct, because and we are not a part of the
Writers' Association, so we don't have a vote, although we
both would have voted Cal. I know others like I've
listened to said like, hey, if Cal hits six, see
I'll switch my vote over to Cal. But then I've
heard others who are like, hey, if I had a vote,
I would vote Judge or I would vote Cal, but
I'm not a part of the voting crew for m

(16:08):
v P this year. And those are people who are
part of the Writers Association, like Jeff Passan has voted
MVP before, but he's not voting it this year, and
he is a believer that Judge is probably gonna win it,
but barely. And we know how reliable Paisan is, right,
But then there's others swoers that's saying it's razor thin close.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
We all know that who the NLCY young will go to.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
The Paul Skins. He has he finished was under a
two era with the I think his end of season record,
which record doesn't matter because that just shows you how
much run support Pittrick gets again is like five hundred
game under five Hondo.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
Again, great picture, terrible team.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
Oh and then otanis just MVP by Defaul because Otani
does Otani things and he is the best player like
current living player who's active, yep. Period, Like there is
no no questions asked, and they're like, hey, Schwarber could
get it because he hit more home runs and Schwarver
is not gonna win guys.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
No, no, no.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
Cal has had at least fifty strikeouts this year. Hitting
like his His batting average went down because of he
was pitching, but he hit fifty five home runs. It's
otani right, end of story.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
End of story. I don't think there's anything else.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
No, I don't have anything else either. You can find
us on the three major platforms we encouraged, like obviously,
like download. It helps us out a lot and get
towards goals we would like to hit. If you listen
well and not doll like, we appreciate it that. We
do appreciate it. The subscribers on YouTube, if you want

(17:49):
to do that, you're welcome to. That's where you can
find exclusive videos for the Glenwood Moravian Trombone Choir where
I handselec pieces the uh we have a discord that's
not really in use, but if you wanted to make
act like that ACTI if you're welcome to you follow
us on Twitter or ax where we prefer call it

(18:09):
at Let's chat BT, same thing for the Gmail. Let's
start GPT at gmail dot com. Join the Facebook community group,
follow the Facebook announcement page so that way we can
get some interaction. We love having interaction. It's more enjoyable
that way. And I don't really got much else besides that,
do you No? No? All right, thanks for tuning for

(18:33):
just before playoffs. Playoffs do start on the thirtieth at around.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
Noon, and we'll probably do another pod episode.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
Within the next week week or two, and then we're
going to be going to buy weekly for the more
fun format where we do like current events, other sports news,
video game news. Actually, I saw like a couple of
interesting news articles recently which I'll compile or try to
sound that off. Thanks for show notes, all right. Then,

(19:04):
also perhaps get someone who could potentially talk about some
cultural things going on in society.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
Right, and uh, just make sure to roof for Burrs
and they will be playing on Saturday once the wild
card teams have been dealt with.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
Yeah. Oh, and that reminds me of one last thing.
The times for the games. The Boston Yankee get the
night game for the wild Card series. For the outside
they have prime time. I like to say, the Dodgers
have it for the NL you're double checking, okay, and
then for the and the once it hits the division series.

(19:41):
How it typically works is the higher seed you are,
the more likely you are to have the night game
every other Yeah, every other.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
So Dodgers are nine oh eight Eastern, so it's eight
oh eighty our time, so they have the latest game
out of all of them. The earliest game is Detroit
and Cleveland at twelve oh eight.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
No one wants to watch Detroit, That's why I put
it out.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
San Diego and the Cubs are at two to oh eight.
This is all Central time, just so you know. Boston
and Yankees are at five oh eight, and eight oh
eight is the Dodgers.

Speaker 1 (20:21):
The Division series times have been an ounce I have
a have a feeling that Milwaukee is gonna have the
night games because they are the number one seed, right.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
So, and that's basically all the times up until the
Division Series. So again, Brewers fans will see you at
the game one of the Division Series against either the
Padres or the Cubs, and hopefully we can make it
to the World Series and win it for Bob Buker.
