Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, and welcome to Awaken Jake myself. Jolly Olive is
back in better than ever. Looks like for those on
the YouTube, it looks like he got his video game
upgrades done. Chain's popping the hairs out. The Mets are back.
We'll talk, we'll talk that, we'll talk some ball. Maybe

(00:21):
Jolly stays for football talk. Maybe he doesn't. Maybe sub
and panic that would be the smart thing. Uh, Jolly,
it's a big week.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Yeah, you could say that for your Mets.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
For baseball, for people who consume baseball content, it's a
jolly Waken Jake talking baseball baseball today week.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Well, where it's foolish?

Speaker 1 (00:45):
Are you hot right now?

Speaker 2 (00:46):
I'm feeling jazzy but nervous, you know, like when you're
like at a party and you've you've drank a decent
bit and you kind of know your limits. You're like,
I'm there, but I could see this turning in the
next hour. Oh, I think that's where I am right now.
It's like I'm on the verge of another beer turning
the night. So we'll say I feel good right now.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
For those that have no idea, The New York Mets
are about to play three against the Atlanta Braves. The
Mets have a two game lead on them in the Wildcard.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Hard to believe.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
What needs to happen in Atlanta? Like if you get
out with one? Oh, that is that? Okay?

Speaker 2 (01:30):
So I did the the stipulations for today's Shay Station episode.
Go check it out if you want more Mets talk. Basically,
the Mets win the series, they're good because they'll have
the tie breaker of my Braves. Even if the Bridge
match them, bing bang boom, it's game. If they win one, right,
all they would have to do is match what the

(01:53):
Braves do against the Royals. Sure, so the Royals, who
are a whole nother discussion, their seven game losing streak
helps us out a ton because they gotta play hard
throughout the end of the season. It's true, it's true.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
If they're gonna play hard without losing seven games.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
I really don't.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
I don't think losing seven games is a good thing
for the Royal. I think.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
It's a good thing for the Mets.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
I think it's a good thing for the Braves if
they have to play say that the three legged dog
in Kansas City right now.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
Point being, if the Mets win one of three they'll
be tied. No, they'll be up a game in the
wild card and we'll just need to maintain that game lead.
If they get swept, seasons over, like they could still
get in, but the season's over.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
You need to win tonight.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
You gotta win tonight.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Tomorrow is Sevey versus Spencer Schwellenbach. Peter moylan really likes
how are you guys versus lefties? Uh? Oh, I thought
you were a fan.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Okay, Sorry, Well, I don't think they're like another New
York team. Can't seem to hit the south paw.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
No.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
I think we do all right against them at I
don't think there's any crazy splits. I'll tell you right now. Yeah,
that's seven seventy four ops. So they're better against lefties
than righties. If you want that seven seventy four to
seven twenty nine. I need Pete to keep saying I
need it, I need it, Jake. It was so deflating
to be in the stadium screaming Pete Alonso and watching

(03:31):
him strike out four times?

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Was that the chance? It's kind of a bad chance.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
You weren't being real. You have no what would you
what would your champion?

Speaker 1 (03:41):
O Pee pete, Pete, Pee, pete.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
That sounds like you're saying, pete pete, damn pee.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
I want you to know this. I'm rooting for your Mets.
I think they're fun. I think it'd be okay for
the Braves to get a little bit humble pie. I
mean it's they lost the guy who was supposed to
win the cy Young, even though they replaced him with
a guy who's gonna win the cy Young, right, and
they lost last year's MVP who didn't get replaced by

(04:13):
his little brother.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
This that's a little bit where things like that, you
should beat the s Braves team.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Yes, you should be better than this is the time.
This is the If they blow this one.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
It's over. It's not over, but it's over.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
Next year is over. Next year as METSI as it gets.
If they lose all three of these games, yeah, next
year's over.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
It's gonna be. I mean, they lived as a fan,
I watched a lot of space. They lived under that
twenty twenty two cloud for a whole year. Essentially, they
never quite left that bad place. Yeah. So this is
like as we talked about today. It's terrifying when tonight,
but it's a perfect way to get in. Yeah, it's

(04:58):
a perfect way to end the story by conquering the demon,
knocking them out of the playoffs like they knocked you
out of the division two years ago. You have an
opportunity to right or wrong and make it, make yourself
whole again. So do it. That's where I'm at.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
Who in the Mets lineup?

Speaker 2 (05:18):
Mmm?

Speaker 1 (05:20):
If I was going to tune into this Mets.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Brave series's playoff baseball.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
Yanks, Yanks Orioles.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
I wish that series mattered a little bit more has
been out. It's not playing tonight either.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
Who are the three best players on the Mets right now?

Speaker 2 (05:40):
Position players and pitchers?

Speaker 1 (05:41):
Position players only?

Speaker 2 (05:43):
Position players only? You got the two up the middle
who have just been dynamite, Jose Glacis and Luisan Hilcunya.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
That's insane.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
I mean, if you if I told you in September, Hey,
by the way, Jeff McNeil and Francisco Indoor out for
the season, that kind of feels like death blow. And
instead these two guys have stepped up and both hit
like four hundred as a tandem. So I'd say those
two and then Alvarez has really found his power stroke again,
five homers in his last ten games.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Hate Nemo.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
It has been fine. Hate Nemo. Relax.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
It's who's hot right now. It's a wild roster.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
Clicks and you're nasty for it.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
It's a wild roster, and I think everyone everyone can
go off. I can't believe how good hosting Lace is.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
This offense might be better than the one who saw
two years ago.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
Doesn't make sense. I like the starting pitching. I'm worried
about the bullpen, but Edwin can go freak mode in
the postseason. He already kind of has all you need. Okay,
enough about the Mets, I'm rooting for you. I think
they're fine. I think I like their little three as
people are calling them little slightly toxic. That was slightly toxic.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Be into that. It's your brand.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Sorry, big week for you, jolly talking baseball Baseball Today
video about huh the com door. But you didn't know that?

Speaker 2 (07:12):
Socials, who do you?

Speaker 1 (07:18):
We've got it down to a bucket of teams. There's
only a couple of things that matter. Your Mets and
Braves matter, like Brewers and Phillies. They're kind of done.
Check in with you when we see.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
I mean Pat Murphy's Brewers aren't going to stop playing hard.
You can count on that.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
You can count on the Snakes snake bitten uh Padres,
Dodgers could matter. I'm not bought in. I think the
Dodgers are just gonna win. If the Dodgers win one.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Of these games and they're the Dodgers, how awesome would
it be?

Speaker 1 (07:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (07:48):
But if the Padres sweep the Dodgers and one the West.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
But they're the Dodgers, they don't do this, you know
what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
Any team can start.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
You know, I think Land and Knack and the Boys
might even get it done tonight because you know what,
the starting pitching for the Dodgers hasn't mattered all year
because of the three generational is BBD Okay, what's going on?
Back sneezes, we're talking.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
Conversation.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Yeah, I don't know. I would it would be entertaining.
Love my king, my king, my king. Robert Suarez probably
gets clipped by Otani walk off. This comes out after
now you think it's not pre recorded, that they're kind
of out like even d Backs and Padres they're gonna
be there. Something colossal would have to happen.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
Backs is no guarantee. You keep adding like it is.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
Stop.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
They're Walker three right now?

Speaker 1 (08:48):
What do you want number one offense?

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (08:51):
Just by the stats?

Speaker 2 (08:52):
Who's got the game one ball?

Speaker 1 (08:53):
You and it like that? Uh, I'm fuck you. Roll
it out there, Brandon five. He did a game one
last year? Okay in Milwaukee? How'd that go?

Speaker 2 (09:02):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (09:03):
Remember that last year? Remember that? Yes, they won the NL.
They're gonna win it again.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
I don't recall.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
You've been yelling about the Detroit Tigers all day?

Speaker 2 (09:14):
How fun?

Speaker 1 (09:16):
Why do you like them?

Speaker 2 (09:17):
Why do I like them?

Speaker 1 (09:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (09:18):
They're disrupting everything, and I love.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Okay, you like a disruptor.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
I hate when things get set in stone, like the
first that's how the AL looked. Man. Yeah, like it
was fun for a little bit. Then the Mariners busted
out and everything kind of got set in stone. And
here come the pesky Tigers out of nowhere after selling
at the deadline and rolling out two starting pitchers for
half a season, and they're just winning. And they're winning

(09:43):
again today and they get to play the White Sox
for their last three games. Dude, if they beat the
Rays one more time, but they're in and I don't
think a lot of people realize.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
That right like they're in like, well, you're under selling
the worst baseball team of all time.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
It would be different if they had like a chance
to not be the worst team ever. But now it's
like done, so they have nothing left to play for,
like you could have been like white Socks, come on,
pulled together, like let's let's avoid history. The pottery swept them,
they won scooble. Yeah, they want, Oh that's confirmed final?

(10:20):
So I mean, you get one more against Tampa Bay
and you sweep the White Sox like everybody else does you.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
Later google to bow Brisky today. That's all they needed
to wait?

Speaker 2 (10:30):
Is that former Yankee legend?

Speaker 1 (10:32):
No?

Speaker 2 (10:33):
No, Brooks Chrisky?

Speaker 1 (10:34):
Thank you? Come on, I can't believe you brought that up.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
Same name? Is he the wild pitch guy?

Speaker 1 (10:42):
The fact you brought that up in an election year
is insane. Who were you saying? Is the third best
player on the Tigers? Again?

Speaker 2 (10:53):
Position players don't hate that rule? Such a rule. Matt Feerling,
right ball, who cares?

Speaker 1 (11:07):
BBD said it before the show. I saw a hug
I forget. I think I think Riley Green hit a
homer and Parker Meadows was waiting for him, and they
had a young man warehouse hug like they were hopping
and bopping.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
First tournament run, first time winning a playoff game, that
kind of vibe special. It's special.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
Young and dumb is a powerful thing. And they have that,
and they have the cy Young winner. And if they
do wrap it up, which they're probably going to, they'll
have the cy Young winner for game one.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
That's so messed up that they're just in And.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
You're selling your Oriole stock because you're mister Oriole. I've
seen you buy an Orioles jersey.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
I love it. I have a mo Own's jersey. I
do a horrible purchase.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
Okay, to admit it. That was If you could go
back and undo that he's a good player, well you've
paid a pretty view. I don't know. You wouldn't Gunner
if I think you could have one?

Speaker 2 (12:06):
Yeah, I respect Gunner, but I'm not a Gunner guy.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
Are are people not talking about this Oriol's disaster class enough?
I don't.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
I really don't think they are, because the Ools were
kind of just always in, right, but like this team
should have competed for the division, Yes, and what they're
six games.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
Back the Yankees gave them every opportunity for a month
and a half.

Speaker 3 (12:25):
On September fourth, the odds to win the division was
a coin flip. Yankees were fifty point four and it's
twenty days later ninety nine percent.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
And you can attribute you can spend this a couple
different ways. Like their trade deadline was kind of a disaster,
Like they they put too down and Trevor Rodgers. That's
two guys you traded for, like decent prospects for and
they're both in Triple A, Like Sir Anthony, I think
was okay for them, not great. And then Zach Eflin
got hurt so he missed like two weeks that and

(12:55):
that's where they lost a lot of games. On the
other side of it, you won one hundred games last year,
and like it's basically the same roster, So I really
don't know why this year was so different. And mean,
I mean, you added Corbyn Burns on top of that.
That's been the discussion all year. But dude, they have
no juice, Like they they have given me nothing to
really get excited over outside of Anthony Santander carrying the

(13:17):
offense every other night.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
The answer is adly kinda.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
I mean, seven to seventeen ops on the year is
like a shocking number for him.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
Dude, I went on, I don't know, you might have
caught some of this. I went on a kitcher, a catcher,
not a k catcher, A catcher kick last year because
I looked at every playoff team. Yeah, and I was
kind of mad at my Yankees for missing the dance,
and every playoff team was like getting catching performance. So

(13:52):
it's an evolving theory. Yanks with Austin Wells this year,
it's kind of.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
Like a bonus to your lineup that you need.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
It feels good, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
A bonus at like all the playoff teams at least last.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
Year cashed on. Yeahiner Diaz, Salvy, We're getting points there.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
I like this.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
God is Minnesota gonna make it?

Speaker 2 (14:14):
J t Romuto if you want to go NL there.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
Last year I think was a better example. Rage always
have two catchers.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
Smith, Yeah, like there's two catchers.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
Rangers like a two catcher thing. I do think it
becomes ana a little lamer than I think because Reno
last year he had that stat like when he started,
they were like forty four and eleven.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
She used to be the ad stat right that they
would just.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
Win Adley's stat. I mean it's uh, I'm guessing Adlee's.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
Hurt just playing through something.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
Because Adley Rushman, hitting as a left handed hitter this
year is two twenty two ninety three a six forty
oh ps forty against right handed pitching. That's a one
left Like He's still been good, but yeah, a right

(15:09):
handed pitcher versus Adly Rushman has made him an eighty
like ops plus play.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
One thing I will say that I think shouldn't get
understated and probably will, is that Jordan Westbrook is back. Yes,
and he like was their most valuable position player for
most of the season until he got hurt. And that
could be something. It really could be.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
It's where I unfortunately have given in to the analytics
freak shows. Apologies to everyone tuning in. Was I in
the MLB building today? Yeah, I was waiting enough to
talk about that Bob Gibson conference. There was a funny move,
there was a funny moment. We're like, wait, is Bob

(15:51):
Gibson here. It's like, oh, they named the conference room
brain blast, Ryan out Castle back, Carmon Urius back, Okay,
Jordan Westburg back. Uh Orioles just need a taste of
good God, is it gonna be Corbyn Burns versus there's

(16:16):
still wha Is that the Jolly Olive Bowl? Are you
streaming that game?

Speaker 2 (16:24):
I'm glued to the TV. That's a crazy matchup. That
is like Winter wins the series essentially.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
You'd like to think, But then there's Albert Suarez. What
do you want to see happen this postseason? Heavy question?

Speaker 2 (16:41):
I would let you know what. You might not expect
this out of me, but I'm gonna say it.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
Yankees World Series.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
I want to see a one seed make it.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
Yeah, I'm kind of this is a pivot year.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
It's a little bit weird for me because my team
is going to be a five or six If they
make it. I obviously want to see them win. I
don't love the notion that it creates. If they do win,
I'm happy as a fan, but it would be the
third year in a row that the bottom NL seed
would be making it to the World Series. It doesn't
set a good precedent for this new format, a format

(17:13):
which I do like. Because you're getting this last week
is September. That's like really hype, like really cool. A
lot of cool things are happening, but a top seed
needs to like be the team. The only team that
we've really seen do that has been the Astros, right
to like be the top seed, conquer the Ds, make
the World.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
Series the Yankees this year.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
The Yankees have a shot to do it this year.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
No, you're right, this is a big test here for
the format because as much as we'd love to give
it a ten year sample, which is probably the proper way,
even twenty years.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
That's what the wild Card game got.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
Yeah, yeah, man, Like you know, Jimmy's already eyeing up.
The Yankees aren't going to play for like a week,
I think, or six days like Sunday Saturday, like the
Balls a playing sport.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
The biggest thing that I've noticed is that I did
a video on October last year and Rockies swept the
World Series, crazy run whatever. They rested for eight days
and then they played the runs locks and they fell
flat in their face. And that's just the first break
in the playoffs. Now that's yeah, one week, like that's

(18:22):
your reward for winning your division. I think the biggest
thing that will tell us everything about the theories of
the Wildcard weekend is how the Phillies do.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
Back to back years Phillies were a wildcard team, went
on pretty impressive runs last year. I mean Game seven
of the CS, you know, still good run. If they
come out and they lose the DS this year with
an improved roster, that kind of tells everything you need
to know. I think a little bit like that. So

(18:54):
I'm looking at their a lot because they're the evidence
of the wildcard being unofficial, beating the Braves twice. If
they're the top seed and they lose, I think that
sells you a lot.

Speaker 1 (19:05):
That was a nice piece of information, John.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
You subscribe to Off? Sorry stopped him dead, Mistricks.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
Can the Mets win the World Series?

Speaker 2 (19:21):
Yeah, of course, just gotta get in Ye. Any team
can win.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
I think they can.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
I think they can.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
I really do what playoff team cannot win the World Series?
Fun game? Fun game? Oh? I think my rudest one
that I have no hesitation.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
Let's say it on three one two three Dodgiers, Dodgers, Dodgers.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
No pitching, no pitching. You don't believe. I don't believe.
I don't believe you can win a.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
World Series without pitching.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
They have some pitching, some Yoshinobu Yaba Bobo.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
It's a lot of pressure for him.

Speaker 1 (19:59):
It's a lot of press, A ton of present. Who
starts Game two? Jack Flaherty, who starts game three? Pcer Buehler,
give me one good start. He's pitched well in playoffs previously, previously,
what about Ben Casparius?

Speaker 2 (20:15):
Sorry, that's a guy in the is that real?

Speaker 1 (20:18):
Might be a Yukon guy. I will tell you what
some names in this bullpen. The Dodgers don't have pitching.
I'm not trying to MythBusters you. They have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
seven guys that I have seen pitch in playoff games.

(20:41):
And then the other guy's Michael Kopak, who's been there.
So they have eight. They're eight deep in the bullpener.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
You might see some fat bullpen games from the Dodgers.
They might do.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
The Braves did that, that's fair.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
There's a world. Why did you say that?

Speaker 1 (20:54):
Say this Dodger? It just can't What is that? Then
the lineup? The lineup they're Angel Martinez, Kyle Manzardo won
two punch dogs. Mm hmm.

Speaker 3 (21:15):
Kind of got you there.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
I'm sorry, Guardian.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
Let me ask you this. Do you think the Royals
also can't win the World Series. Kind of the same
thing with a better rotation.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
If the Royals get in, which I don't know. I
don't know that, I don't know. It's becoming a very
sad story. Yeah, I'd like to think there's a world
where they're starting pitching can be just so good that
they can change the whole narrative.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
Win a bunch of one nothing games.

Speaker 1 (21:51):
Like they've had some guys in their bullpen kicking, like
they might be able to pitch so good, which is
unfair to the Guardians, but it's also because dude, Okay,
you didn't like the Dodgers starting pitching, tell me about
the Guardians.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
The game to Surrey, I think is Matt Boyd. That's crazy.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
Is a Vibe Game one?

Speaker 2 (22:12):
Sub vibe Game one?

Speaker 1 (22:14):
It's the pill in Game three again, Benvely going Ben
Lively or bullpen game hor I'm excited a bullpen game October.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
So gross, I know, but like that's kind of been
the form of the d Bes did it last year
and they won some big games because of it.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Baseball needs to change the Jimmy's premat about it, and
I think he's right. They need to change the posts
like scheduling, because what are we doing. We're hurting the
better teams.

Speaker 3 (22:44):
Yeah, we'll know for sure after the stagger schedule takes
away the lined up pitching advantage. You already have the
rest verse rust debate.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
Okay, so we go one game playoffs, seven game DS.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
That's what Jerry said.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
Hated that idea was like immediate and it makes me
so happy. Well because I well thought man liked it
and another man did not.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
I asked him on today's show. I said, you were
on the sixteen Mets. You were a part of a
wildcard game and the team lost that game. What was
the vibe? Did you guys feel cheated? You were the
top seed. In the old format, you would have went
straight to the DS. And he said no, He said
they were the better team that night. We played like shit,
we deserve to lose, all that stuff, And I was like,
all right, I respect.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
King like Jerry sounded cool, talk like Jerry Moore?

Speaker 2 (23:33):
Why not sound cool most of the time?

Speaker 1 (23:35):
Like, no, they were the better team we lost, which
I didn't like to. I would be salty to this day.
I would be changing formats everywhere. No.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
Cindergard pitched great that game. People forget know what.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
I remember today? No a Cindergarden investor.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
In john My Media to come today, wants to come
back to the.

Speaker 1 (23:57):
Saw flexus today. It happens he pitched this year? Is
he did he get teached? What did he do? Just
out Wow?

Speaker 2 (24:07):
Kind of sad story.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
Baseball happens quick, huh, yep thor.

Speaker 2 (24:12):
Harvey thor all those guys. Sorry, that's what we're on
the topic.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
No Kindergarten made this much money playing baseball.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
Go, I will select forty five sixty three? Oh good
for note.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
We don't have to feel too bad for No. Noah
his sixty three million dollars and retired at age thirty two.
Find a hobby, but.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
He doesn't want to retire.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
Cook meat. Get back out there, jolly, unless you have
anything else baseball wise, you want to get off your chest.
I think you're free to leave Padres National. Yeah, you're
drinking the kool aid.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
Drinking the koolid. I really don't want to play them
on one best team in the American League.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
Are the Padres better than the Phillies or do we
just have Philly fatigue?

Speaker 2 (25:00):
Hmmm, that's a good question, because like the Phillies now
are different than playoff Phillies because they don't have to
worry about a five starter.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
Their fifth starter that's just been getting knocked destroyed it.
We would you say, like a fourteen to fourteen e
r in their last eight starts something like that. He's
a talking baseball stat and those.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
Are like most of the games they lose, like every
other game. They're winning three out of four, So they'll
be different come playoffs. Schwarber, Shorter, Turner's terrifying.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
I get Castillanos, stop real, Mudo.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
Marsh how many runs against Edwin dis.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
Er, Cody Clemens off the bench, he's been nice. Austin Hayes,
that's the difference with the Phillies a little bit this
year ed Mundo so Song got that bench depth. Okay,
here's a fun games Wilson. How many players on the
Phillies would be the third best player on the Tigers
or the Royals.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
That's so, how many player is in the A This
is a mean question for the Tiger side. Shoeber, Turner, Harper,
you're saying, how many people are better than Matt Vierling
on the Phillies Former Philly.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
Uh Om Casiano, stop real mood oh marsh, oh yeah,
Edmundo saw Weston Wilson.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
Maybe all right?

Speaker 1 (26:17):
It ended up rude. Make sure you guys check in
with Jolly Olive this week. I'm talking baseball on Baseball
Today live streams coming up a video about Chris Sale.
Fuck the Braves, dude, Chris Sale, what's that about?

Speaker 2 (26:36):
They both teams might get into.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
Chris Sale was out, he's back in. We thought the
Braves were trading for him to be a playoff option
against the Phillies lefties out of out of like the bullpen.
He's gonna win the cy Young von Gerson was asked
this year.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
Ops plus guests negative eleven BB two mm hm.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
Six one yeah.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
Negative.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
I knew it was around there that I was closer
to the pin.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
You didn't ask for this, Thanks Cholly, thanks for watching.
Subscribe what's your train?

Speaker 1 (27:17):
All right? We got a little bit of foosball this weekend,
and before I even get there recapping the last football
I was so excited and had to run to a meeting.
I forgot to shout out my Broncos who won the
one and two Denver Broncos. Am I all in? No?
But they play one of two games in East Rutherford

(27:40):
this weekend, but the first one is on Thursday night.
How about them? The Dallas Cowboys are one and two
facing the one and two New York Giants. The Giants
should be two and one if they employed a proper
kicker in week two. Uh Dallas minus five and a half.

(28:01):
I think I'm going to this tailgate. I think the
Talking Giants tailgate. I think there's gonna be some client
schmooze a little bit. It's Talking Yanks night, so I'm
not going to the game. I'll tell you what I think.
I'm on the g men. We talked about this a
little bit last time, but they should have beat Washington,

(28:22):
who how about my guy Jaden Daniels. Hello, welcome to
the party. And they lost to Minnesota. Who's become America's
darling get again. So the Cowboys, on the other hand,
they beat the same Cleveland Browns that the Giants beat,
and then they got rolled by New Orleans and then
sneaky rolled by Baltimore. I don't know, never actually bet

(28:46):
on the Giants to win, because that's not what we do.
But they've got a real chance. I like that for them,
and then we'll stay That's the only Thursday game, no
Friday game, no Europe game. Sorry everyone, as I met,
We're staying at MetLife for the Jets and the Ponies.
My Broncos. I told you guys got invited this game

(29:08):
twice declined not happening last day of the MLB regular season.
It looks like it has a chance to be a
good finale. So that's kind of my real reasoning and
I'm I'm still not in on my Broncos. Hey, it
was a dominant victory over Tampa Bay Tampa Bay, which
I don't know. They kind of look good. People were
excited about Maker Maker or Baker or waken Jaker. Again,

(29:35):
my heart's not closed off to the idea of Bonnicks
because the quarterback game is more random and I think
coaching oriented than we think. And that's why I guess
that's why I'm not as excited because I'm I don't think.
I don't think I'm in on Sean Payton. But you
guys know I'll get roped in my fandom kicks in.

(29:55):
It's a little fair weather what you should be watching
at one s against Falcons. Falcons we talked about a
little bit. They gave a Chiefs to run for their money.
They had that comeback win against the Eagles. The Falcons
and the Saints, America's darlings a week ago blew a
game to the Eagles after looking great their first two weeks.

(30:19):
I think these are your two favorites in the South,
like Tampa Bay coming back to Earth against the Broncos.
I don't think they have the hype right now, even
though they're the defending champions of the NFC South New Orleans.
Everyone was about a week ago and they really should
have beaten the Eagles that I don't think people have

(30:41):
abandoned the ship. In Atlanta. With Kirky the last final
drive of their second game and going toe to toe
with the Chiefs, the Atlanta hype feels real. And I
can't believe I'm saying these words, but I enjoy Kirk Cousins.
He is entertaining. He plays a level of core that's
kind of fun, gives guys a shot, and I don't know,

(31:05):
getting to playing a dome all year, that'll probably end
up being good for old Kirky. He doesn't move around well.
The Talking Giants guys were harping on that pretty bigly,
but he doesn't need to. Kirk's seeing a lot of football.
He gets the rock out Rams at Bears. Not really
Chicago minus two and a half. That stinks to High Heaven.

(31:29):
I think the Rams are a much better team. And
I kind of got mad the other day because I
was like, wait, Caleb Williams stat line ended up being
pretty good, especially for a rookie and especially for the
offense not being up through the league. Then I remembered
he had like a fifty yard hail Mary. So if
you take away those fifty yards, Caleb Williams day is

(31:49):
a lot more what felt like Caleb Williams day. Whatever,
I'm not super locked into that game because we've got
better games. We've got the Vikings and the Packers, America's
Viking three and oh they're going into green Bay. Maybe
Jordan Love is back, Maybe it's not. Maybe it's Malik
Willis's season. Green Bay minus two and a half at home.

(32:11):
Jordan Love was game time last week that I'd like
to assume he'd be in this one. That is gonna
be a fun football game. In one of the games
of the weekend. Two of the better coaches, two of
the better under the radar NFL coaches go look at
Matthew Lafleur's career record and Kevin O'Connell, who every year,

(32:32):
tall handsome coach gets a little more love. Steelers are
trying to go four and oh at the Indianapolis Colts,
and I wouldn't bet the Colts. Colts are minus one
and a half. They're one and two on the year. Now,
their only win is over Chicago after losing to Green
Bay and Houston close. Pittsburgh's defense is for real for

(32:53):
another year in TJ. Watt and Tomlin, and we've done
the whole thing. I listened to a Tomlin quote before
this because he refused to name Justin Fields the week
one starter, and he just said, there's no need cause
they're three and zero. Why haven't talk about it? Be
about it? Eagles, Bucks yuck. Hopefully it's a fun game.

(33:16):
Bengals Panthers, I will wow. I was just gonna say,
I was gonna announce the Bengals are about to get
their first win. But Andy Dalton and Andy Dalton against
his former team, that will be entertaining. I can't tell
you what's gonna happen in that Bengals Panthers game. But

(33:37):
Joe Burrow and the Bengals trying to get to trying
to get their first win on the board this season
against the Carolina Panthers, who hope is a dangerous thing.
I wouldn't be surprised if that stadium is sneaky, just rocking.
Going from joke of the league to one of the
better offensive performances we've seen this year. That's kind of

(33:58):
must wall. I watched that game over Eagles Bucks ten
out of ten, uh, and I still I like Baker
Texans Jaguars. The Jaguars are owing three, the Texans are
two and one. Texans got punched in the mouth by
the Minnesota Vikings. Like the bounce back for them, and
kind of the Jaguars are another loss away from fading

(34:21):
in the ABYSS. And I think the stat I saw
because if you remember the Jaguars limped to the finish
line last year, I think the Jaguars have lost their
last eight games. Let's double check, No, that's not true.
They won one against Carolina New Year's New Year's Eve

(34:42):
of last year. Otherwise one, two, three, four, five, six.
I think I think they're one in eight in their
last nine. Doug Peterson not exuding a ton of confidence
right now. Trevor Lawrence also hashtag saying same in Houston

(35:06):
after Houston got their butts kicked and they're going to
be motivated. I don't know, could be the start of
the end for the Jaguars. Anything else at the one
pm No, So okay, your sneaky great game. That's awful
to watch. Begals, Panthers fire it up, Vikings Packers should

(35:29):
be good. I'm in on that. And Saints Falcons I
think will be entertaining. So I think it'll be a
fun one pm slate to get started in the Four
Commanders at Cardinals. Where's everyone at with the Commanders? Jaden Daniels.
I don't know if any of you tuned into the
live stream we did Giants Commanders. I've loved Jaden Daniels

(35:50):
ever since I got to watch, well, obviously the breakout
year at LSU. The way he plays is so smooth
and under control, and the running style is clean, but
the passing style is amazing and the story that keeps
getting told, or at least I've heard on Rozillo a
ton of times. They had to beg him to make
like dangerous passes like he had an interception streak going

(36:15):
in college, and Brian Kelly, is head coach, was like, no, dude,
like throw balls with some risk, like we need to
get the ball downfield, and man, if you watch that
Cincinnati game, looked like the light bulb was starting to click.
I don't know. I think he's that guy and we
are a win if they go into Arizona and win,
which isn't necessarily easy, but him and Kyler will be

(36:38):
a fun little back and forth. But if if he
does it and they go to three and one Jaden
Daniels and the Commanders, there might be a new team
in the NFC East that's like an actual threat. How
weird would that be? Not the Cowboys, not the Giants.

(36:58):
Eagles I'm still out on. They're gonna be good. We're
gonna wake up in the Eagles are gonna be six
and two. But whatever. Patriots Niners, not really. Niners are
nine and a half points favorite. They're missing McCaffrey debo,
they're losing guys on defense. I think Hargrave went down
still nine and a half point favorites over the Patriots
because they are one and two. I don't know if

(37:21):
that's gonna be a great watch. Although Brock to third
and Juan it was a lot of fun the other day.
Oh it's waiver day. Huh. Pre recording this, gotta get
all that done. Brown's Raiders. Absolutely not no, thanks, no,
but that's why we have Chiefs Chargers. The Chiefs three

(37:42):
and zero heading in to play the Chargers. The Chargers
got their first loss against Pittsburgh. It is I'm a
Harbaugh guy. I'm a Herbert guy, although he got banged
up and he'll probably be questionable for this game. Their
wins against Vegas and Carolina not as sexy as some
other teams around the league. And then they lose at Pittsburgh,

(38:04):
which teams will do a lot this year. Casey's going
to be a fun test for them at home, which
they do have the worst home fields I think in
pro sports right now, so that's not much of an advantage,
but that's going to be fun to see. That's hopefully
the start of what could be a really fun Chiefs
Chargers rivalry between Mahomes and Herbert Reed and Harbaugh. There's

(38:28):
a lot of good football energy on the field there
that that should be a fun one. And then Sunday
night fighting off The Scaries with Bill's Ravens, The Three
and Oh Buffalo, Bills Barriss, the Jaguars at the party.
They've looked good. Ever since they went down to Arizona
in their first game. Josh Allen and the boys have

(38:50):
been completely bopping. They rolled Miami, they rolled Jacksonville. Baltimore
is one and two. Fun video of Lamar like not
wanting to celebrate on the team plane on the ride home.
That was kind of cool. Baltimore is a favorite and
you kind of understand why, but you also kind of don't.
That is gonna be a fun one. So I guess

(39:12):
leave your Sunday night open. That's gonna be a great watch.
And it's here. It's here, breaking news. Playoff Baseball is
on its way. Make sure you're subscribed. Tell them about
