They're making friends, the.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Junkee Loo, the Jackets. Let's go a.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Boston Rob at his best there, had to bring out
big Poppy for that.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Nice job, Rob.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
What a welcome in our next guest, and you know
him for tremendous work at his time here in mid
Michigan and then Metro Detroit and then la as the
first voice you ever heard on FS one. Now as
sports director lead anchor the number one affiliate in the country,
(01:19):
That would be WABC in New York. Ryan Field joins us, Ryan, how.
Speaker 5 (01:24):
Are you Jack?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Always a pleasure, my friend.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
How are you, sir?
Speaker 1 (01:29):
I am fine, but I'm trying to make some sense
of these American League divisional series.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
And if you had told me yesterday.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Just about this time, when the Tigers were still trailing
three nothing in Game four, and you had said one
of these games is going to go to one of
these series is going to go to a game five,
I would have said, well, Vegas is telling me the
Yankees are a big favorite. They're a lot more likely
(01:58):
to beat Toronto tonight than the Tigers are to have
this comeback against Seattle. Instead, Tigers scored nine straight runs
and the Blue Jays brought out their hitting sticks again
and had fun with New York pitching.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
What do you make of these two series?
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Well, first off, I can promise you everybody here in
the newsroom at WABC knew the Tigers game.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
Was on yesterday.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
As I was making quite the scene throughout the game,
I had to remind everybody where my rooting interests fly. Obviously, listen,
I think baseball the beauty of the baseball playoffs. It's
a lot like the NHL playoffs, where the unexpected tends
to happen more often than in football and basketball, so
(02:47):
you have a lot more variables in baseball where things
can kind of go sideways, and the Tigers will start
there for all intents and purposes. For five innings, look
dead in the water. The crowd was booing. They didn't
even sell out, the first non sellout for a postseason
game in Tiger's history, I should say, in America Park history.
(03:08):
So you could tell like fans had kind of given
up on this bunch, and frankly, what they had witnessed
for the last two three months, it's hard to blame them.
But all of a sudden they caught fire. They had
the inning where they scored three straight runs, and then
Riley Green hits the home run, and then it's Baiez
and then it's Glabor Torres, and all of a sudden
you were reminded, Oh, yeah, this team once was the
(03:30):
best team in baseball for the better part of almost
four months. So all of a sudden, they looked like
that team again out of nowhere, and you were like, oh, yeah,
it's nice to see these guys again. And as for
the Yankees and the Blue Jays, I mean, as we've
seen in Yankees postseasons past, especially under Aaron Boone, They
don't tend to rise to the moment when a team
(03:52):
puts pressure on them. Outside of Game three against Toronto
when Aaron Judge had that incredible signature moment frankly one
of his best postseason moments as a Yankee. But I
don't think anybody here was surprised to see the Blue Jays,
who many felt were a better team even though they
finished with the same amount of wins, but better built
for postseason success. I don't think anybody was surprised to
(04:15):
see that, and unfortunately that's the way it went down
for New York and again they enter the offseason with
a lot of remorse, a lot of regret, and a
lot of things to kind of look back on and
see what can they do better next season. But I
fully expect Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone to be back again,
so they're going to try to run it back another
time and see if they can end now this sixteen
(04:37):
year drought without winning a World Series.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Ran. Can you rank the top four teams in the
American League?
Speaker 3 (04:46):
I mean don't think. I don't think anybody can at
this point. I mean, do I think Seattle is probably
a better top to bottom team than the Tigers. Probably.
I think their lineup is better, might be a smidge
better maybe across the board, starting pitching wise, they're better,
But they don't have anybody better than Trek Scouble. You know,
(05:09):
do I think the Blue Jays, no matter who comes
out of the other while alds between Seattle and Detroit,
do I think the Blue Jays would be favored to win. Absolutely?
Speaker 5 (05:18):
They look like a machine right now.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
So you know, I guess of the teams that are left,
I'd probably go Toronto, Seattle, Detroit, New York, even though
New York just got eliminated last night. But again, I mean,
you could ask one hundred people and you probably get
a hundred different answers how those four would be lined out?
Speaker 1 (05:38):
If Seattle gets past Trek Scuball yet again, seems incomprehensible
that he couldn't get a win this year over the Mariners,
But it's possible if that does happen. Back in the
Pacific Northwest and the Tigers and the Yankees are out,
they're not going to play consolation series. But if they did,
(06:00):
or if they had both advanced, let's say they had
both won, what would a Tigers Yankees yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Well, selfishly, I was definitely rooting for that, especially after
covering the Pistons and Knicks in the spring, I was
certainly rooting for a Tiger's knicks. I'm sorry Tigers, Yankees, alcs,
but I think it would have been a great series.
I think the Tigers pitching. You know, they came in
here to Yankee Stadium in September and beat the breaks
off of them for two games, put up double digit numbers,
(06:28):
double digit runs in two games, and I think they
know how to pitch to the Yankees. I think I
still would have given maybe a slight edge to the
Tigers in that series, but I think it would have
been a lot of fun, and especially you know, you
look at recent history. The Tigers have won their last
three postseason series against the Yankees, so you know, clearly
not afraid of the moment when looking at the historical
(06:49):
perspective between those two franchises.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
But yeah, I mean, it.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Would have been fun to see it all play out.
But going back to your point about school, well, I
find it hard to believe that to your point that
Seattle not only has won all three matchups in games
started by Terrek Scouble this season, I find it hard
to believe, with the law of averages that they would
find a way to win a fourth meeting with Scooble
(07:14):
on the mound. I just can't fully wrap my head
around that the guy who's the best pitcher in baseball,
and if I'm a Tigers fan, that more than anything
has me feeling optimistic heading into tomorrow night. That and
the fact that the offense finally woke up over the
last four innings yesterday, So you have to feel good.
You know, at the start of this series, if you'd
(07:36):
have said, hey, you got Terrek Scuball going on the
mound Game five on the road to advance to the ALCF,
I think anybody would have taken it. I guess the
flip side would be they were in the same position
last year in Cleveland with Scooble on the mound in
a Game five and couldn't get it done. But I
am willing to bet Jorge Polanco will not hit two
home runs off Trek Scouble tomorrow that I feel quite
certain of.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Do you think that you're going to be watching a
lot of Trek scoople in twenty twenty seven in Yankee Stadium?
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Yeah, I mean maybe even next year maybe at City
Field or Yankee Stadium. Yeah, I mean, if these you
got to figure that they're going to try to get
ahead of these conversations, and if he's going to walk,
you can't lose. You can't lose him for nothing. And
you don't want to wait till the trade deadline because
then it's kind of diminishing returns. At that point you're
not going to get the same hall. So if they come,
(08:27):
if they talk to Scott Boris and they're not in
the same stratosphere you and I have talked about this
on this very program. I think you go ahead and
pull the trigger and get a slew of young players
and you know, not that the Tigers need any more
of those, but maybe you know two or three everyday
contributors and maybe a couple other prospects, and go ahead
(08:48):
and keep on, keep on trucking on. I mean, you
see a guy like Troy Melton kind of coming out
of nowhere, you kind of cement him as a starting pitcher.
Next year they still have, you know, hopefully they resigned
Flaherty and Mize, you know, so they definitely have and
if they go out and get somebody else, you could
have the makings of a solid starting rotation. But you know,
if I'm not going to re sign Terrek Scouble, I
can't lose him for nothing.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
It's as simple as that.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Yeah, a lot of people are surprised that Casey Miyes
has more pitching victories. Again, that's a very deceptive stat
but has more victories than Terrek Scuoble this year. And
as far as keeping Jack Flaherty, as long as they
keep me away from Jack Flaherty.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Yes, I was gonna say he was not happy to
see you at the game the other.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
Day, guys, but the word got to him that I
was there and that was.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Well listen, and frankly, he hasn't been as good at home,
so you got to figure that he'll start game one
of the ALCS if they get there Sunday night, And
you know the fact that he's been much better, especially
in the postseason on the road. I think I kind
of like that he would start game one. You have
mys going Game two, and then you'd have Schooble going
game three in game seven, so not a bad place
(10:02):
to be again, but they got to win Tomorrow night first,
and I haven't fully decided if I think they're.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
Going to yet, but I'm really hoping that they do.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Talking about Aaron Judge and the home run he hit,
I've never seen a home run quite like that. The
ball was so far inside I didn't know if the
thing might hit him, and all he does is bang
it high off the fair pole. That was one of
the most amazing swings I've ever seen. And then I
had just seen cal Raley after the three hour rain delay,
(10:36):
hit a line drive into left center field, batting left handed,
so opposite field line drive that the shortstop could have
jumped for. I mean, had a launch angle so low.
It just kept going and the outfielders just couldn't believe
the ball kept carrying, and then it bounced into the
(10:57):
glove of a guy who was wearing a shit it
said dump here sixty one Mariners fan, who was beside
himself that he retrieved the ball. But the amazing part
Ryan was as soon as he put the ball on
the glove down he changed into a shirt that said
(11:18):
dump here sixty two, hoping that there might be a
second ball land in his glove. So two of the
most amazing home runs you'd see in the same day
or same period of time in the same round of
the playoffs. But normally I don't like ties and things
like this. There was one in seventy nine with Willie
(11:39):
Stargel and Keith Hernandez. But if these guys tied for
the al Most Valuable Player, could you really say one
of them didn't deserve it?
Speaker 6 (11:51):
No?
Speaker 3 (11:52):
I mean this is a neck and neck ale MVP.
And you know John Smoltz was talking about it yesterday
or it might have been the dab of four in
the Yankees broadcast. How cal Raley is going to get
a lot more votes than people think just because of
the position that he plays and the fact that he's
squatting behind the plate for nine innings and the amount
of how taxing that is on your legs to have
(12:13):
to do that and then to still come out and
lead the big leagues with sixty home runs is just
an incredible feat. A couple notes on those home runs,
Aaron Judge, it was almost one hundred miles an hour
fastball that was more than a foot off the center
off the plate from the center of the plate, and
it was the hardest hit ball he'd ever hit for
a home run in his career. And to your point,
(12:35):
that thing went three quarters up the foul pole. It
wasn't like it nicked it just.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
Over the wall.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
I mean it was an absolute bomb. The Mariner's home
run was crazy because cal Raley hit it to the
one Mariners fan who was in left field who happened
to be wearing the shirt and it bounced right to him.
I mean, he could take a thousand more swings and
not have it happen the way that it did. And
then to take it one step further.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
Kyle Schwarber.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Was the first player and it's so funny you mentioned him,
the first and only player since Willie Stargel in the
late sixties to hit a ball out of Dodger Stadium
from the through right field and not left field, so
he Willly Stargell was the last to do it before
Kyle Schwarber last night, which was an absolute nuke to
right center. So three very historic home runs for different reasons,
(13:24):
but all that we've witnessed in the last couple of days,
and frankly, just the beauty of the baseball playoffs.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
You see Aaron judge on a daily basis, and we
know that Henry Aaron, the Major League Baseball home run
leader on non righted players. Would you say that Aaron
Judge is in the conversation with Henry Aaron and if
you had to put one of them in right field,
(13:54):
who would you pick?
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Man?
Speaker 3 (13:55):
For my money, I mean this is recency biased, but
watching what Judge does, and I know his postseason numbers
haven't been great, but this series against the Jays, he
batted five hundred.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Yeah, set a career for.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Postseason RBIs in a single series, had arguably, like I said,
his signature October moment. The guy is six foot seven.
You see him in his uniform, especially in person, and
just just a mountain of a man. Looks like he
should be playing d line for the Lions. And the
fact that he's doing all this and he made a
couple of nice diving catches in Game three, I mean,
(14:28):
the guy is just unbelievable. And doing that here in
New York under the pressure, under the spotlight, under the
bright lights, just kind of takes it to a whole
other level. And they're already talking about putting him on
the Yankee mount Rushmore. When you consider the amount of
historic names that have played for this franchise, they're already
saying Aaron Judge might be one of the fourth greatest
(14:48):
Yankees of all time. Pretty much tells you all you
need to know.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
So, if you are open to the idea of picking
Aaron Judge, I had Henry Aaron in the Battle of
the Errands. Who would you rather have Bryan Aaron Judge
or show he Otani?
Speaker 5 (15:07):
Well?
Speaker 3 (15:07):
I think I mean with Otani just because of the
starting pitching.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Aspect that he brings.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
I mean, the guy, the guy. Would he have a
sub three e R as a pitcher and still hit
fifty plus home runs? I mean, he's a unicorn not
seen since Babe Ruth. So only because of his pitching prowess.
I would say Otani just because he's more of a
you know, I hate even to say well rounded player,
but he just brings more to the table.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
He just does.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
He doesn't bring, obviously the defensive prowess that Judge brings
out there in right field. But you know, for my money,
I would certainly do that. And you know now that
you got me thinking maybe we cook up a little
Terek schoobl for Aaron Judge trade.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Would you do that one?
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Jack? What do you think A second second?
Speaker 3 (15:51):
The Yankees? Yea only if we promise him that it's
October hobby bias, maybe they'll agree to that.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Yeah, someone said that they were going to send Java calendar,
but all twelve months we're going to be October.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
I'll tell you what. Man, they call him El Mago
And you see this magic. You know, back when he
played with the Cubs, and you almost forget how much
of a dynamic player that guy was in his quote
unquote prime and now you're seeing flashes of it again.
I mean, he's just electric, and he's such a you know,
shortstop is such an important position on the baseball diamond,
(16:29):
and the fact that he's such a steadying force there
and slick with the glove, and it's just it's kind
of remarkable to see. So hopefully he can keep this up.
And if he hits a home run tomorrow, I think
the Tigers win for sure.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
You said you think that Aaron Boone and Brian Cashman
will be back. Is there anything could change that you
don't expect?
Speaker 5 (16:53):
I just can't see it.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Yeah, I mean, ever since you know, George passed away.
I guess what was it fifteen years ago since Hal
took over, maybe seventeen years ago since Hal took over.
It's just been kind of you know, Cashman's the only
guy that's ever run his baseball operations, and I just
can't see him.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
Pulling the plug.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
I mean, because it's not like the Yankees don't have
a good team. Was it the best constructed roster? Alex
Rodriguez said last night in the postgame show, was the
worst constructed postseason roster he's ever seen. Now, I'm sure
he's got a little bit of bias because he played
with the Yankees, saying that they had three left handed
hitting catchers five designated hitters, So you know, he was
kind of going off on Cashman a little bit. But
(17:37):
you know, again, fans want to see people fired. But
the question then becomes, who are you going to hire
that's going to be better than Brian Cashman? You know,
who are you going to hire that's.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
Going to be better than Aaron Boone.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
I mean, it's not like this is a sport that
is just crawling with top flight executives and top flight managers.
I mean, how many retread managerial hires do you see
where you know, a guy failed in one place and
they bring.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Him somewhere else.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
So, I mean, it's it's just, you know, it's the
old be careful what you wish for. I don't necessarily
think it's either Boone or Cashman's fault. They just lost
to a better team. But I'll be curious to see
how the Yankees kind of restructure and retool this offseason.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
We know the Yankees have won more World Championships than
any franchise, and the twenty seven route twenty seven. The
longest drought between championships is seventeen years. It was current
nineteen seventy nine through nineteen ninety five. That many seasons.
But we're at sixteen now sixteen and counting. What are
(18:40):
the odds that we are in the midst or near
the end of the longest World Series drought in pen
Stripe's history.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Yeah, I mean listen, I mean there's there's a lot
of fan bases that would love to say, Wow, you've
only haven't won a title in sixteen years. I feel
so bad for you. But you know, with the Yankees
with their payroll, Yeah, the Yankee excuse me, with their
payroll and their expectations. I think the bigger concern is Jack.
I mean, Aaron Judge is about to turn thirty four,
you know, they're kind of wasting his prime years if
(19:09):
you will, do I expect him to have a sharp
decline next year? Absolutely not. But another year older is
another year older, and you know, John Carlos Stanton's going
to be thirty six, so you know they might have
to kind of, you know, make some more lineup altering
moves than they planned on so they can really maximize
(19:30):
Aaron Judge here for the next two or three years
where he's really, you know, at the peak of his powers.
That to me is the bigger issue going forward. Do
I think right now that the Yankees win the World
Series next year?
Speaker 5 (19:41):
No, I don't.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
I mean, it's kind of insanity if you will do
the same thing over and over again. They keep running
back the same type of team that's either home run
or bust. Starting pitching is okay, the bullpen's decent, not great.
They've been kind of running out the same team for
the last ten twelve years and just haven't gotten any
of the results. They came close last year, but frankly
got smacked by the Dodgers in the World Series, So
(20:05):
you know, I don't see them winning the World Series
next year. But I guess it just depends on what
happens this offseason.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Three more quick questions before we let you go. We're
talking with Ryan Field WABC in New York. Appreciate every
minute of his time. What happens Sunday night, Lions in
Kansas City to face Patrick Mahomes and the chief You
know what I.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Was thinking about today? Can you imagine if it's Tigers,
Blue Jays, Alcs Sunday night as well as Lions Chiefs
Sunday night? You talk about an all time Detroit sports day.
JACKI you might even have to take Boston robout to crunchies,
and I'd be watching on all the TVs there to
make sure you guys don't miss a minute of either game.
Speaker 5 (20:46):
But it's one of.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Those things where do I think the Lions are gonna win?
Speaker 5 (20:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (20:49):
I think they're a better team than the Chiefs. Am
I feeling better about it now that the Chiefs lost
this last weekend to Jacksonville. No, Kansas City's two and three.
Can I see them falling to two and four? That's
kind of tough to accept. I don't know if I
can see that happening. But the Lions should win on
Sunday Night because I think they're a better team, even
though they're missing their three of their top four cornerbacks,
(21:10):
including their two starters. I think it's going to be
a high scoring affair. That's going to be one, you know,
thirty eight to thirty five type style that the Lions
pull it out.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Okay, we are on the verge start of another NBA season.
Which franchise has a better chance to be in the
NBA Finals the Detroit Pistons or the New York Knicks.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
I thought you were going to say the Knicks are
the Nets, and I was going to say, Wow, Jack,
you're making my life real.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
Leave me with this one.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
I mean, listen, the Knicks. The Knicks should be in
the finals, and they are the betting favorite to make
the finals. I think they're a better team than the
Cavs when it's all said and done, especially with the
tweaks they made. But don't overlook those Detroit Pistons. I
firmly believe that if Isaiah Stewart was healthy last year,
that they might have beaten the Knicks in that series.
He said as much, and I've had a couple of
(21:59):
Knicks beat writers tell me as much that they felt
that the Pistons would have won that series if he
was there to defend Karl Anthony Towns. And I think
they're right right, And you know, I think the Pistons
are going to be better this year. And frankly, I'm
hoping for an Eastern Conference finals Pistons Knicks.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
Wouldn't that be something?
Speaker 3 (22:14):
If the Pistons have a game get Game six at
LCA to close out the Knicks to go to the
NBA Finals, that would be absolutely incredible.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Last question for you, Michigan State homecoming Saturday at noon
against the UCLA.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
They better wins.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Yeah, they better win. Michigan State. Now it's seven and
a half point favorite.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
What up?
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Now it's back down to seven and a half but
more than a touchdown. If Michigan State does not win
this game, right and they fall to three and three,
would you agree to be on the selection committee for
the next head coach.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
I think I'm already on the selection committee for the
next head coach. And you know, in today's world of
the portal and everything else, I mean, there's no He's
in a school with Michigan State's resources, should be should
be this far this far behind other schools, especially a
school like Indiana. Uh, you know, in terms of the
football program. And do I like Jonathan Jonathan Smith, I
(23:14):
really do.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
I think he's a good dude.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
I don't know how great of a football coach he
is for this program. I think the Nebraska loss was
certainly concerning, but I fully expect them to beat UCLA
this weekend. Rise to the occasion. But where they're going
to find two more wins the second half of that schedule, Jack,
That is going to be easier said than done. That's
why that Nebraska game was such a swing game for
the season.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
So before I.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Would have said it's a lock they get to six
maybe seven wins, but now I'm not so sure.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Yeah, And if the odds makers are correct, Ryan, and
Michigan State does beat UCLA and USC does beat Michigan
in the Arrogance Bowl out in southern Soliforia, then you know,
both these teams are going to have the same record
four and two at the break at the midpoint rather so.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Yeah, and they might they might have the same record,
although Michigan State has to play Indiana before they play Michigan,
so I believe the Spartans will be four and three
before they face at Michigan. But I will definitely be
pulling for the Trojans this weekend.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Jack.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
I think that goes without saying.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
All right, Ryan, thanks so much, appreciate your time. Game
Day in East Lansing. Just got taste here.

(01:19):
That would be WABC in New York. Ryan Field joins us, Ryan, how.
Speaker 5 (01:24):
Are you Jack?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Always a pleasure, my friend.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
How are you, sir?
Speaker 1 (01:29):
I am fine, but I'm trying to make some sense
of these American League divisional series.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
And if you had told me yesterday.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Just about this time, when the Tigers were still trailing
three nothing in Game four, and you had said one
of these games is going to go to one of
these series is going to go to a game five,
I would have said, well, Vegas is telling me the
Yankees are a big favorite. They're a lot more likely
(01:58):
to beat Toronto tonight than the Tigers are to have
this comeback against Seattle. Instead, Tigers scored nine straight runs
and the Blue Jays brought out their hitting sticks again
and had fun with New York pitching.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
What do you make of these two series?
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Well, first off, I can promise you everybody here in
the newsroom at WABC knew the Tigers game.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
Was on yesterday.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
As I was making quite the scene throughout the game,
I had to remind everybody where my rooting interests fly. Obviously, listen,
I think baseball the beauty of the baseball playoffs. It's
a lot like the NHL playoffs, where the unexpected tends
to happen more often than in football and basketball, so
(02:47):
you have a lot more variables in baseball where things
can kind of go sideways, and the Tigers will start
there for all intents and purposes. For five innings, look
dead in the water. The crowd was booing. They didn't
even sell out, the first non sellout for a postseason
game in Tiger's history, I should say, in America Park history.
(03:08):
So you could tell like fans had kind of given
up on this bunch, and frankly, what they had witnessed
for the last two three months, it's hard to blame them.
But all of a sudden they caught fire. They had
the inning where they scored three straight runs, and then
Riley Green hits the home run, and then it's Baiez
and then it's Glabor Torres, and all of a sudden
you were reminded, Oh, yeah, this team once was the
(03:30):
best team in baseball for the better part of almost
four months. So all of a sudden, they looked like
that team again out of nowhere, and you were like, oh, yeah,
it's nice to see these guys again. And as for
the Yankees and the Blue Jays, I mean, as we've
seen in Yankees postseasons past, especially under Aaron Boone, They
don't tend to rise to the moment when a team
(03:52):
puts pressure on them. Outside of Game three against Toronto
when Aaron Judge had that incredible signature moment frankly one
of his best postseason moments as a Yankee. But I
don't think anybody here was surprised to see the Blue Jays,
who many felt were a better team even though they
finished with the same amount of wins, but better built
for postseason success. I don't think anybody was surprised to
(04:15):
see that, and unfortunately that's the way it went down
for New York and again they enter the offseason with
a lot of remorse, a lot of regret, and a
lot of things to kind of look back on and
see what can they do better next season. But I
fully expect Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone to be back again,
so they're going to try to run it back another
time and see if they can end now this sixteen
(04:37):
year drought without winning a World Series.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Ran. Can you rank the top four teams in the
American League?
Speaker 3 (04:46):
I mean don't think. I don't think anybody can at
this point. I mean, do I think Seattle is probably
a better top to bottom team than the Tigers. Probably.
I think their lineup is better, might be a smidge
better maybe across the board, starting pitching wise, they're better,
But they don't have anybody better than Trek Scouble. You know,
(05:09):
do I think the Blue Jays, no matter who comes
out of the other while alds between Seattle and Detroit,
do I think the Blue Jays would be favored to win. Absolutely?
Speaker 5 (05:18):
They look like a machine right now.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
So you know, I guess of the teams that are left,
I'd probably go Toronto, Seattle, Detroit, New York, even though
New York just got eliminated last night. But again, I mean,
you could ask one hundred people and you probably get
a hundred different answers how those four would be lined out?
Speaker 1 (05:38):
If Seattle gets past Trek Scuball yet again, seems incomprehensible
that he couldn't get a win this year over the Mariners,
But it's possible if that does happen. Back in the
Pacific Northwest and the Tigers and the Yankees are out,
they're not going to play consolation series. But if they did,
(06:00):
or if they had both advanced, let's say they had
both won, what would a Tigers Yankees yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Well, selfishly, I was definitely rooting for that, especially after
covering the Pistons and Knicks in the spring, I was
certainly rooting for a Tiger's knicks. I'm sorry Tigers, Yankees, alcs,
but I think it would have been a great series.
I think the Tigers pitching. You know, they came in
here to Yankee Stadium in September and beat the breaks
off of them for two games, put up double digit numbers,
(06:28):
double digit runs in two games, and I think they
know how to pitch to the Yankees. I think I
still would have given maybe a slight edge to the
Tigers in that series, but I think it would have
been a lot of fun, and especially you know, you
look at recent history. The Tigers have won their last
three postseason series against the Yankees, so you know, clearly
not afraid of the moment when looking at the historical
(06:49):
perspective between those two franchises.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
But yeah, I mean, it.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Would have been fun to see it all play out.
But going back to your point about school, well, I
find it hard to believe that to your point that
Seattle not only has won all three matchups in games
started by Terrek Scouble this season, I find it hard
to believe, with the law of averages that they would
find a way to win a fourth meeting with Scooble
(07:14):
on the mound. I just can't fully wrap my head
around that the guy who's the best pitcher in baseball,
and if I'm a Tigers fan, that more than anything
has me feeling optimistic heading into tomorrow night. That and
the fact that the offense finally woke up over the
last four innings yesterday, So you have to feel good.
You know, at the start of this series, if you'd
(07:36):
have said, hey, you got Terrek Scuball going on the
mound Game five on the road to advance to the ALCF,
I think anybody would have taken it. I guess the
flip side would be they were in the same position
last year in Cleveland with Scooble on the mound in
a Game five and couldn't get it done. But I
am willing to bet Jorge Polanco will not hit two
home runs off Trek Scouble tomorrow that I feel quite
certain of.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Do you think that you're going to be watching a
lot of Trek scoople in twenty twenty seven in Yankee Stadium?
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Yeah, I mean maybe even next year maybe at City
Field or Yankee Stadium. Yeah, I mean, if these you
got to figure that they're going to try to get
ahead of these conversations, and if he's going to walk,
you can't lose. You can't lose him for nothing. And
you don't want to wait till the trade deadline because
then it's kind of diminishing returns. At that point you're
not going to get the same hall. So if they come,
(08:27):
if they talk to Scott Boris and they're not in
the same stratosphere you and I have talked about this
on this very program. I think you go ahead and
pull the trigger and get a slew of young players
and you know, not that the Tigers need any more
of those, but maybe you know two or three everyday
contributors and maybe a couple other prospects, and go ahead
(08:48):
and keep on, keep on trucking on. I mean, you
see a guy like Troy Melton kind of coming out
of nowhere, you kind of cement him as a starting pitcher.
Next year they still have, you know, hopefully they resigned
Flaherty and Mize, you know, so they definitely have and
if they go out and get somebody else, you could
have the makings of a solid starting rotation. But you know,
if I'm not going to re sign Terrek Scouble, I
can't lose him for nothing.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
It's as simple as that.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Yeah, a lot of people are surprised that Casey Miyes
has more pitching victories. Again, that's a very deceptive stat
but has more victories than Terrek Scuoble this year. And
as far as keeping Jack Flaherty, as long as they
keep me away from Jack Flaherty.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Yes, I was gonna say he was not happy to
see you at the game the other.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
Day, guys, but the word got to him that I
was there and that was.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Well listen, and frankly, he hasn't been as good at home,
so you got to figure that he'll start game one
of the ALCS if they get there Sunday night, And
you know the fact that he's been much better, especially
in the postseason on the road. I think I kind
of like that he would start game one. You have
mys going Game two, and then you'd have Schooble going
game three in game seven, so not a bad place
(10:02):
to be again, but they got to win Tomorrow night first,
and I haven't fully decided if I think they're.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
Going to yet, but I'm really hoping that they do.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Talking about Aaron Judge and the home run he hit,
I've never seen a home run quite like that. The
ball was so far inside I didn't know if the
thing might hit him, and all he does is bang
it high off the fair pole. That was one of
the most amazing swings I've ever seen. And then I
had just seen cal Raley after the three hour rain delay,
(10:36):
hit a line drive into left center field, batting left handed,
so opposite field line drive that the shortstop could have
jumped for. I mean, had a launch angle so low.
It just kept going and the outfielders just couldn't believe
the ball kept carrying, and then it bounced into the
(10:57):
glove of a guy who was wearing a shit it
said dump here sixty one Mariners fan, who was beside
himself that he retrieved the ball. But the amazing part
Ryan was as soon as he put the ball on
the glove down he changed into a shirt that said
(11:18):
dump here sixty two, hoping that there might be a
second ball land in his glove. So two of the
most amazing home runs you'd see in the same day
or same period of time in the same round of
the playoffs. But normally I don't like ties and things
like this. There was one in seventy nine with Willie
(11:39):
Stargel and Keith Hernandez. But if these guys tied for
the al Most Valuable Player, could you really say one
of them didn't deserve it?
Speaker 6 (11:51):
No?
Speaker 3 (11:52):
I mean this is a neck and neck ale MVP.
And you know John Smoltz was talking about it yesterday
or it might have been the dab of four in
the Yankees broadcast. How cal Raley is going to get
a lot more votes than people think just because of
the position that he plays and the fact that he's
squatting behind the plate for nine innings and the amount
of how taxing that is on your legs to have
(12:13):
to do that and then to still come out and
lead the big leagues with sixty home runs is just
an incredible feat. A couple notes on those home runs,
Aaron Judge, it was almost one hundred miles an hour
fastball that was more than a foot off the center
off the plate from the center of the plate, and
it was the hardest hit ball he'd ever hit for
a home run in his career. And to your point,
(12:35):
that thing went three quarters up the foul pole. It
wasn't like it nicked it just.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
Over the wall.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
I mean it was an absolute bomb. The Mariner's home
run was crazy because cal Raley hit it to the
one Mariners fan who was in left field who happened
to be wearing the shirt and it bounced right to him.
I mean, he could take a thousand more swings and
not have it happen the way that it did. And
then to take it one step further.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
Kyle Schwarber.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Was the first player and it's so funny you mentioned him,
the first and only player since Willie Stargel in the
late sixties to hit a ball out of Dodger Stadium
from the through right field and not left field, so
he Willly Stargell was the last to do it before
Kyle Schwarber last night, which was an absolute nuke to
right center. So three very historic home runs for different reasons,
(13:24):
but all that we've witnessed in the last couple of days,
and frankly, just the beauty of the baseball playoffs.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
You see Aaron judge on a daily basis, and we
know that Henry Aaron, the Major League Baseball home run
leader on non righted players. Would you say that Aaron
Judge is in the conversation with Henry Aaron and if
you had to put one of them in right field,
(13:54):
who would you pick?
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Man?
Speaker 3 (13:55):
For my money, I mean this is recency biased, but
watching what Judge does, and I know his postseason numbers
haven't been great, but this series against the Jays, he
batted five hundred.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Yeah, set a career for.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Postseason RBIs in a single series, had arguably, like I said,
his signature October moment. The guy is six foot seven.
You see him in his uniform, especially in person, and
just just a mountain of a man. Looks like he
should be playing d line for the Lions. And the
fact that he's doing all this and he made a
couple of nice diving catches in Game three, I mean,
(14:28):
the guy is just unbelievable. And doing that here in
New York under the pressure, under the spotlight, under the
bright lights, just kind of takes it to a whole
other level. And they're already talking about putting him on
the Yankee mount Rushmore. When you consider the amount of
historic names that have played for this franchise, they're already
saying Aaron Judge might be one of the fourth greatest
(14:48):
Yankees of all time. Pretty much tells you all you
need to know.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
So, if you are open to the idea of picking
Aaron Judge, I had Henry Aaron in the Battle of
the Errands. Who would you rather have Bryan Aaron Judge
or show he Otani?
Speaker 5 (15:07):
Well?
Speaker 3 (15:07):
I think I mean with Otani just because of the
starting pitching.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Aspect that he brings.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
I mean, the guy, the guy. Would he have a
sub three e R as a pitcher and still hit
fifty plus home runs? I mean, he's a unicorn not
seen since Babe Ruth. So only because of his pitching prowess.
I would say Otani just because he's more of a
you know, I hate even to say well rounded player,
but he just brings more to the table.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
He just does.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
He doesn't bring, obviously the defensive prowess that Judge brings
out there in right field. But you know, for my money,
I would certainly do that. And you know now that
you got me thinking maybe we cook up a little
Terek schoobl for Aaron Judge trade.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Would you do that one?
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Jack? What do you think A second second?
Speaker 3 (15:51):
The Yankees? Yea only if we promise him that it's
October hobby bias, maybe they'll agree to that.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Yeah, someone said that they were going to send Java calendar,
but all twelve months we're going to be October.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
I'll tell you what. Man, they call him El Mago
And you see this magic. You know, back when he
played with the Cubs, and you almost forget how much
of a dynamic player that guy was in his quote
unquote prime and now you're seeing flashes of it again.
I mean, he's just electric, and he's such a you know,
shortstop is such an important position on the baseball diamond,
(16:29):
and the fact that he's such a steadying force there
and slick with the glove, and it's just it's kind
of remarkable to see. So hopefully he can keep this up.
And if he hits a home run tomorrow, I think
the Tigers win for sure.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
You said you think that Aaron Boone and Brian Cashman
will be back. Is there anything could change that you
don't expect?
Speaker 5 (16:53):
I just can't see it.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Yeah, I mean, ever since you know, George passed away.
I guess what was it fifteen years ago since Hal
took over, maybe seventeen years ago since Hal took over.
It's just been kind of you know, Cashman's the only
guy that's ever run his baseball operations, and I just
can't see him.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
Pulling the plug.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
I mean, because it's not like the Yankees don't have
a good team. Was it the best constructed roster? Alex
Rodriguez said last night in the postgame show, was the
worst constructed postseason roster he's ever seen. Now, I'm sure
he's got a little bit of bias because he played
with the Yankees, saying that they had three left handed
hitting catchers five designated hitters, So you know, he was
kind of going off on Cashman a little bit. But
(17:37):
you know, again, fans want to see people fired. But
the question then becomes, who are you going to hire
that's going to be better than Brian Cashman? You know,
who are you going to hire that's.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
Going to be better than Aaron Boone.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
I mean, it's not like this is a sport that
is just crawling with top flight executives and top flight managers.
I mean, how many retread managerial hires do you see
where you know, a guy failed in one place and
they bring.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Him somewhere else.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
So, I mean, it's it's just, you know, it's the
old be careful what you wish for. I don't necessarily
think it's either Boone or Cashman's fault. They just lost
to a better team. But I'll be curious to see
how the Yankees kind of restructure and retool this offseason.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
We know the Yankees have won more World Championships than
any franchise, and the twenty seven route twenty seven. The
longest drought between championships is seventeen years. It was current
nineteen seventy nine through nineteen ninety five. That many seasons.
But we're at sixteen now sixteen and counting. What are
(18:40):
the odds that we are in the midst or near
the end of the longest World Series drought in pen
Stripe's history.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Yeah, I mean listen, I mean there's there's a lot
of fan bases that would love to say, Wow, you've
only haven't won a title in sixteen years. I feel
so bad for you. But you know, with the Yankees
with their payroll, Yeah, the Yankee excuse me, with their
payroll and their expectations. I think the bigger concern is Jack.
I mean, Aaron Judge is about to turn thirty four,
you know, they're kind of wasting his prime years if
(19:09):
you will, do I expect him to have a sharp
decline next year? Absolutely not. But another year older is
another year older, and you know, John Carlos Stanton's going
to be thirty six, so you know they might have
to kind of, you know, make some more lineup altering
moves than they planned on so they can really maximize
(19:30):
Aaron Judge here for the next two or three years
where he's really, you know, at the peak of his powers.
That to me is the bigger issue going forward. Do
I think right now that the Yankees win the World
Series next year?
Speaker 5 (19:41):
No, I don't.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
I mean, it's kind of insanity if you will do
the same thing over and over again. They keep running
back the same type of team that's either home run
or bust. Starting pitching is okay, the bullpen's decent, not great.
They've been kind of running out the same team for
the last ten twelve years and just haven't gotten any
of the results. They came close last year, but frankly
got smacked by the Dodgers in the World Series, So
(20:05):
you know, I don't see them winning the World Series
next year. But I guess it just depends on what
happens this offseason.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Three more quick questions before we let you go. We're
talking with Ryan Field WABC in New York. Appreciate every
minute of his time. What happens Sunday night, Lions in
Kansas City to face Patrick Mahomes and the chief You
know what I.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Was thinking about today? Can you imagine if it's Tigers,
Blue Jays, Alcs Sunday night as well as Lions Chiefs
Sunday night? You talk about an all time Detroit sports day.
JACKI you might even have to take Boston robout to crunchies,
and I'd be watching on all the TVs there to
make sure you guys don't miss a minute of either game.
Speaker 5 (20:46):
But it's one of.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Those things where do I think the Lions are gonna win?
Speaker 5 (20:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (20:49):
I think they're a better team than the Chiefs. Am
I feeling better about it now that the Chiefs lost
this last weekend to Jacksonville. No, Kansas City's two and three.
Can I see them falling to two and four? That's
kind of tough to accept. I don't know if I
can see that happening. But the Lions should win on
Sunday Night because I think they're a better team, even
though they're missing their three of their top four cornerbacks,
(21:10):
including their two starters. I think it's going to be
a high scoring affair. That's going to be one, you know,
thirty eight to thirty five type style that the Lions
pull it out.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Okay, we are on the verge start of another NBA season.
Which franchise has a better chance to be in the
NBA Finals the Detroit Pistons or the New York Knicks.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
I thought you were going to say the Knicks are
the Nets, and I was going to say, Wow, Jack,
you're making my life real.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
Leave me with this one.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
I mean, listen, the Knicks. The Knicks should be in
the finals, and they are the betting favorite to make
the finals. I think they're a better team than the
Cavs when it's all said and done, especially with the
tweaks they made. But don't overlook those Detroit Pistons. I
firmly believe that if Isaiah Stewart was healthy last year,
that they might have beaten the Knicks in that series.
He said as much, and I've had a couple of
(21:59):
Knicks beat writers tell me as much that they felt
that the Pistons would have won that series if he
was there to defend Karl Anthony Towns. And I think
they're right right, And you know, I think the Pistons
are going to be better this year. And frankly, I'm
hoping for an Eastern Conference finals Pistons Knicks.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
Wouldn't that be something?
Speaker 3 (22:14):
If the Pistons have a game get Game six at
LCA to close out the Knicks to go to the
NBA Finals, that would be absolutely incredible.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Last question for you, Michigan State homecoming Saturday at noon
against the UCLA.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
They better wins.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Yeah, they better win. Michigan State. Now it's seven and
a half point favorite.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
What up?
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Now it's back down to seven and a half but
more than a touchdown. If Michigan State does not win
this game, right and they fall to three and three,
would you agree to be on the selection committee for
the next head coach.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
I think I'm already on the selection committee for the
next head coach. And you know, in today's world of
the portal and everything else, I mean, there's no He's
in a school with Michigan State's resources, should be should
be this far this far behind other schools, especially a
school like Indiana. Uh, you know, in terms of the
football program. And do I like Jonathan Jonathan Smith, I
(23:14):
really do.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
I think he's a good dude.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
I don't know how great of a football coach he
is for this program. I think the Nebraska loss was
certainly concerning, but I fully expect them to beat UCLA
this weekend. Rise to the occasion. But where they're going
to find two more wins the second half of that schedule, Jack,
That is going to be easier said than done. That's
why that Nebraska game was such a swing game for
the season.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
So before I.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Would have said it's a lock they get to six
maybe seven wins, but now I'm not so sure.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Yeah, And if the odds makers are correct, Ryan, and
Michigan State does beat UCLA and USC does beat Michigan
in the Arrogance Bowl out in southern Soliforia, then you know,
both these teams are going to have the same record
four and two at the break at the midpoint rather so.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Yeah, and they might they might have the same record,
although Michigan State has to play Indiana before they play Michigan,
so I believe the Spartans will be four and three
before they face at Michigan. But I will definitely be
pulling for the Trojans this weekend.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Jack.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
I think that goes without saying.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
