WEBVTT

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:09.320
You're listening to the downbeat on ninety
seven to one. The freak Game three

2
00:00:10.439 --> 00:00:14.919
is tonight on the Devil's Night.
You guys know what the Devil's Night is,

3
00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:19.199
don't you? Assuming it's the night
before Halloween. Kevin, it is

4
00:00:19.239 --> 00:00:22.399
the night before Halloween. But what
I did, I used context clues.

5
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:26.760
Mikey, you did that was very
detective, dick of you. I learned

6
00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:32.640
from the best Tonight that originated in
Detroit. This is like the Purge.

7
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:37.560
I mean, it's less violent than
the Purge. Do you wish the Purge

8
00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:43.079
was real? No, it'd be
amazing. If it was amazing as in

9
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:47.240
the definition of the word amazing,
not really good it look, get your

10
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:51.600
juice going a little bit. You
know, one day you got to be

11
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:54.880
ready, gotta be ready to play
offense or defense. This year, a

12
00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:58.679
lot of people are just gonna slumbering
through life, hiding out hick. Not

13
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:02.000
on Purge night, you would be. That's a wild idea for a movie

14
00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:03.200
or book or whatever. The part
Why are you so wide eyed at me?

15
00:01:03.319 --> 00:01:11.040
JJ? It's probably it's a crazy
idea. Ever, Okay, I

16
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:15.040
guess the murder part, obviously that's
a big issue. But if there's one

17
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:21.519
twenty four hour period where all crime
was legal minus murder. I mean,

18
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:25.159
yeah, I would like I would
like that, I guess. But just

19
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:30.400
the concept of it is a crazy
idea that some writer came up with.

20
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:34.680
I think the Hunger Games is something
crazy like Okay, that's not even the

21
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:40.400
kids. And yeah, and fight
for your district, Jess. It's really

22
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:46.640
creative idea. Your job is not
to help the kids survive, it's to

23
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:51.560
make them a spectacle. That's your
job. I would fight for our radio

24
00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:53.879
station. And I'm not saying I'd
be the best choice, but I'm willing

25
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:57.359
to do it. I would nominate
you to fight. Really, I don't

26
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:01.719
want to fight for it. Don't
want to either, but Son leave me

27
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:05.879
out. I mean, Kavanaugh is
a good choice, but he's all busted

28
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:10.439
up. He has got of a
guimp well of his legs can't fully straight.

29
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:14.400
He would fail the pre fight physically. I know, I feel like

30
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:19.560
I have to do it. I
don't know. Skin would get yeah mangled.

31
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:22.560
He can barely get it in out
of his car and up the elevator.

32
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:25.240
Yeah, I bet been would do
well if the fight last under fifteen

33
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:32.479
seconds. I've been in a fifteen
second stamina be rough, go for Ryder

34
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:37.280
and Julie. You know, Groubs
wouldn't stand a chance. I wouldn't stand.

35
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:39.400
It's really up to you. Mike's
a bit of a string bean.

36
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:45.039
Yeah, you are a string bean. These are the times we wish we

37
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:49.840
saw Catherine. Yeah, because at
least he'd go in their psycho style.

38
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:54.360
Yeah, looking for action. Yeah, well we don't have the perch.

39
00:02:54.400 --> 00:03:00.520
It is merely devil's night. What
is it? It's a night of miss

40
00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:05.800
it's miss mischief night. Yeah,
in nineteen eighty four, there are a

41
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:12.360
bunch of fires, but outside of
that, it's almost just like one of

42
00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:15.479
the kids that went away to a
church retreat get together and started throw an

43
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:19.280
eggs at people's house, like justin
Bieber. It's surely just that. It's

44
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:22.680
kind of where all of the you
know, the pranks that we did as

45
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:28.879
little kids, egging toilet papering houses, leaving fiery bags of dog crap on

46
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:31.319
people's doorsteps, that's where all that
originated. I've actually ever done that.

47
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:36.639
I've never done that. It just
seems like a prank. That's I don't

48
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:40.120
know, it seems like an odd
thing to something you'd see happy together and

49
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:45.280
go all the way through it.
Stop mentioning happy days? Wrong with you?

50
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:49.319
Is it tonight that the eggings and
nights? Yeah? Traditionally, Yeah,

51
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:52.400
this started, Yeah in the thirties
and forties. All right, let's

52
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:57.280
go somebody to night. Then it's
like the one night it's allowed, the

53
00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:01.599
where the bad boys of radio go
out there and egging the police. Why

54
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:05.319
why'd you do it? It's the
Devil's night. Oh, all right,

55
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:12.520
get home, then get Dale travels
on the way out, they'll travel wacky

56
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:15.400
kids. Okay, enough, goof
and let's do the most important thing in

57
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:26.720
the world. And you put your
TV on Fox behind you. Yeah,

58
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:32.600
sorry, Danny's off kilter. Look, we wanted to test the NBC talent

59
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:43.800
man. I think they are respected
newspeople, fumparison. Danny wants to go

60
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:54.079
younger. I'm a fox Man's man. Guy over there. Well, whatever

61
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:57.720
happened in game two when Merrill Kelly
was on his A game. First of

62
00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:01.279
all, it's tough to lose to
a guy named Meryll. That that didn't

63
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:06.720
sit well with me because his name's
Merrill. But I was distracted by Matthew

64
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:14.120
Perry News and didn't think about it. Too much Game one though, hot

65
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:19.319
Dog, I mean, is that
the best moment? It's up there,

66
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:29.040
the best combination of moments in franchise
history. God, that's unlis greatest World

67
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:32.480
Series games played, or you know, the most exciting greatest moments in World

68
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:36.959
Series history. It's there, right. What was the score when Nefty struck

69
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:43.360
out a rod? It's like sixty
two. Not even say all right,

70
00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:46.519
because that's everyone's kind of number one, but it's more like the symbolism of

71
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:53.959
the moment. Yeah. But yeah, dude, when Seeger cranked that and

72
00:05:54.240 --> 00:06:01.639
he knew it, that was magic, flew off the chair first pitch right

73
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:08.240
after they I mean they I think
it was Smoltz that barely ended his sentence

74
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:13.839
talking about him going after a first
pitch and launching one. Yeah. And

75
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:17.120
they were also raving about Paul Seawold
at the time, who, as Danny

76
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:21.680
told us in our scouting reports on
Friday when we did a big World Series

77
00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:27.759
preview, Paul Sewold, who was
in that was a Southern rock cover band

78
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:30.240
called Molly Hatchet Wound. In his
spare time, I don't know if he

79
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:34.879
was thinking about a new song or
what that he was trying to learn but

80
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:39.040
he wasn't focused on doing the right
thing, and he gave a meat ball

81
00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:44.199
to Corey Seeker. This is after
Leodi Taveres drew a lead off walk to

82
00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:46.839
start the inning. So it's five
three and we told you the numbers eight

83
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:51.519
scoreless innings in the preseason, six
for six and saves. Paul Sewold is

84
00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:57.879
pretty dominant, all right, and
he walks. Leodi Simkin got out.

85
00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:01.680
I forgot how Simeon got out.
Struck out. Uh oh, Marcus,

86
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:06.720
we're gonna need you to hit the
ball soon. And then Corey and that's

87
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:10.399
the whole discussion. Is like even
after the game, people were like,

88
00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:15.680
why did they throw it to him? Just Corey Seekers getting into that boat

89
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:18.680
of in that situation, just walk
in and we'll take our chances with Evan

90
00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:24.680
Carter, who we'll hear from later
in the show, and then we'll go

91
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:28.079
to extra innings. And I was, I mean, I had a feeling

92
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:30.360
like something good could happen here once
Leodi get the lead off walk. But

93
00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:34.120
you're not thinking we're gonna tie the
game and win it. You're probably thinking

94
00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:39.720
we're probably gonna lose Game one.
And then that happened, and that was

95
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:45.680
the biggest bomb. There's just something
about the dude who's as calm as Heeger

96
00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:51.199
is him showing that instant emotion,
knowing it before they even switched camp.

97
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:55.680
I mean not that you have to
be very astute to understand what happened,

98
00:07:55.759 --> 00:08:00.839
yeah, but this because you know, it's hard to tell on contact sometimes,

99
00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:03.319
you know, like some shots that
look like, oh my god,

100
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:05.199
oh that happened a bunch and on
Saturday you're right, and they're kind of

101
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:09.560
lazy flies or warning track even,
and some are no doubters, and some

102
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:13.040
look good then they're way foul.
I don't know, it's kind of hard

103
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:15.839
to tell, especially on TV.
Yes, yeah, listen to this.

104
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:20.720
This is Game seven in Houston that
we went to. Okay, we're sitting

105
00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:24.639
up in the four hundreds again Game
seven ALCS, but it's the first inning

106
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:28.680
home run that Corey Seeker hit.
Here's a clip on a play from Austin

107
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:33.000
Hedges on a podcast he did with
Chris Rose, talking about Corey Seeker being

108
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:37.720
calm all the time and then that
moment that that happened in Game seven of

109
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:39.799
the Houston series in the first inning, like Corey doesn't show emotion, like

110
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:43.960
never really shows emotion. He's just
the same guy every day. And when

111
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:48.039
he hit that homer and comes into
the dugout crazy excited, like let's go,

112
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:50.960
boys, Like I swear that was
an eleven run homer. Like he

113
00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:54.320
hit that homer and everyone was like
and then he gets fired up. Okay

114
00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:58.360
he said, what you know,
he sounds like Jeorts. Yeah, he's

115
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:01.960
funny. Big time is like George, yes, wait again, I want

116
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:05.759
to hear it. Think George.
It was like everything shifted, like,

117
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:09.559
oh okay, let's go. Like
he saved it for the right moment,

118
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:11.360
and in that moment, everybody just
like, I feel like, just raise

119
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:16.799
everybody's level of play and so like
like to me, that was a that

120
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:20.519
was a solo shot worth eleven runs
and eleven run solo home run because he

121
00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:24.120
was like he walks in with crazy
eye to the dugout and they're like,

122
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:28.840
oh my god. The calmest dude
on the team is geeked, you know,

123
00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:35.440
Joe Joe Davis dude. I wish
he would just go hurl himself off

124
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:41.559
a shed, you know, like
I don't want to die injury. Is

125
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:48.000
that what we're I mean? Here
we go another cigarette baseball robot Corey Siegert

126
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:52.159
hitting Robot back in the box,
stop calling him that they did a whole

127
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:58.720
interview before the game with him where
he is talking about Yeah, I mean,

128
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:01.840
I don't like to Joe' motion.
It doesn't like come natural to me.

129
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:03.240
But when I do feel it,
I will show it. I'm not

130
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:09.960
you know, I'm mute. It
means it's amazing that Joe Davis keeps doing

131
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:13.519
that thing, and I'm like,
God, shut up, go away for

132
00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:16.919
a little bit, go find the
nearest shed. Yeah, maybe maybe twist

133
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:20.679
an ankle after falling I don't know
seven feet up there. I mean,

134
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:24.519
I want to be clear. I
don't want him to die just to like

135
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:30.720
you said, of some type of
injury that's not serious in nature anyway.

136
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:33.320
Is he just fell off? Maybe
he slipped, you know, I don't

137
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:41.360
want him to be intentional. Can
we go to extras? Boy? So

138
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:48.159
they rode a clerk for another inning
to get through the tenth and the eleventh.

139
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:52.519
He goes two innings and he was
damn near perfect. I mean,

140
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:56.600
that was the good version of Jose. Yeah. That was the least wild

141
00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:01.559
ride that we've seen from him.
Yeah this postseason. And then we get

142
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:05.480
nothing in the tenth and I'm trying
to think, remember what happened in the

143
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:07.159
tenth inning? I don't think we
got yeah because Nate Low. We had

144
00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:11.039
a lead off walk, Naylo walk, and then Young hitting a double play

145
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:16.600
the jungle Cat Josh Young grinned into
a double play. And then but we

146
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:20.559
had action because the Tavaris walk and
Simeon single. Yeah, and then and

147
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:28.120
then stupid anything grounded out the second
like a real third. Can he do

148
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:33.200
it again? And then we get
to the eleventh and the legend of El

149
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:39.559
Bombi continues, Yeah to right field, weird and we win, And that

150
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:43.600
was just holy count. Well,
that's one that I wasn't sure about when

151
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:48.960
it left the bat. That just
illustrates how effing strong that guy is to

152
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:54.440
reach out and muscle that thing that
is all those lats, whatever those strange

153
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:58.879
muscles are that he has growing on
top of each other. Yeah, one

154
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:03.080
by one, which I don't need
any more information on. He's just a

155
00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:07.639
big, strong athlete. He is
playing baseball. Are you trying to do

156
00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:13.159
the l Bombay workout series? Would
you buy it? If he saw something

157
00:12:13.399 --> 00:12:16.799
so now by the thigh master,
would you buy it a DVD? Or

158
00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:22.559
a A bop it or whatever product
he sells it. Yeah, I would

159
00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:26.039
love those lats. But yes,
you're right that that allows what would be

160
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:30.279
a maybe lazy fly at a deep
right field. That turns that into a

161
00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:35.320
damn walk off World Series home run. Incredible, Oh beautiful, And then

162
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:41.519
it took I think ten walks we
needed to get the six runs. Did

163
00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:46.759
you see his immediate reaction because it
kind of we remember his his launch off

164
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:50.600
of the wall that should have been
a double, a stand up double that

165
00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:54.600
he just stood and watched in Houston. You saw him for a minute about

166
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:58.559
to do that, and then he
caught himself real quick and started busting it

167
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:03.360
to first base. He remembers mister
Bruce yelling at him. Yeah, mister

168
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:07.679
Bruce, I need to be on
second base. I bet he calls him,

169
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:13.879
mister Bruce, I move on next
time. Get your head out of

170
00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:16.919
your head. I love when they
interviewed him after the game. He had

171
00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:22.440
his translator and it was completely unnecessary. Didn't need him. He's getting comfortable.

172
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:28.919
Yea uh so awesome. We uh
and then sucking Game two. I

173
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:31.480
mean, there's not a lot to
say about Game two. Merrill Kelly pitched

174
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:37.159
a Jim. I didn't think George
was that bad. He made a couple

175
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:39.799
of mistakes, but overall, you'll
take that start, man, you will

176
00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:43.559
take that start out of out of
this staff. Hell yeah, Diamonbacks are

177
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:50.000
good. They're they're weird, They're
weirdly good. They are a team that

178
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:52.159
looks like they shouldn't be there.
But when you see him play, you

179
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:58.960
realize why they are and you wonder, you kind of are afraid because it's

180
00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:01.919
been sustainable this why wouldn't it continue
to be sustainable. Because that's a strange

181
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:05.600
brand of baseball they're playing. That
is old school it is, and I

182
00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:09.519
know you're gonna talk with some of
the small ball, but like going into

183
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:11.600
it, there's like, oh,
watch the defense. The defense is great,

184
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:13.960
And I'm like, really, all
right, that's what you're gonna The

185
00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:16.279
first thing you're gonna say is how
good their defense is. I'm like,

186
00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:20.039
that kind of wash itself out and
might not even really decide one seven game

187
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:22.679
series. Like, fine, if
you're a great defensive team over the course

188
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:26.639
of one sixty two, it's gonna
show itself. But okay, the first

189
00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:31.360
thing you say is great defense,
and then their first baseman bare hands one

190
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:37.799
that bounces off first base was momentum
going the opposite direction. It recovers that

191
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:43.240
throw the guy out by what's eight
feet? Yeah, the only thing that

192
00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:48.639
they lack is big power. It
seems like, and maybe they're starting pitching

193
00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:52.200
isn't the best, but boy,
when their bullpen is on all cylinders,

194
00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:56.919
my god, good luck with that. Man. Yeah, I know those

195
00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:01.240
guys, the guy with the hair
he looks almost a little bit amish or

196
00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:05.720
a little bit like Jeff Daniels with
the haircut and dumb and dumber. Ginkle,

197
00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:11.159
yeah, yeah, Ginkle, And
they're kind of ripped. And then

198
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:16.320
that side arm with Ryan Thompson's his
name, That side arm guy. Yeah,

199
00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:20.039
it's not full side arm, but
it's just coming at you. Like

200
00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:22.120
they called the frisbee on the broadcast. That was a good term for it,

201
00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:24.759
throwing those up there, like,
oh my god, I wouldn't want

202
00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:30.919
to hit that. After seeing a
guy pitch normally all night when I talked

203
00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:33.919
we're talking about this before the show, it's like, man, when when

204
00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:37.720
you had when you're a pitcher and
you can exhibit the kind of control that

205
00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:45.000
Merrill has or had on Saturday Night, it's amazing how much. The home

206
00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:50.240
plate umpire just kind of trusts you, the pitcher, to make the call

207
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:56.440
for him, because we saw it
a bunch on Saturday night where pitches were

208
00:15:56.639 --> 00:16:00.159
clearly three to four inches out of
outside of the strike zone and they were

209
00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:06.039
automatic. He the umpire was calling
them strikes, and you saw the Ranger

210
00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:11.639
batters getting frustrated with that, even
more so when the same luxury wasn't afforded

211
00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:15.399
to them when their picture was on
the mound. But it's kind of the

212
00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:19.360
benefit of showing that kind of that
was Maddox esque type control. I mean,

213
00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:26.480
he was painting and changing speeds and
keeping those guys off balance and they're

214
00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:30.200
timing off for what was it?
Did he go full seven? Six?

215
00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:34.039
He went? He went full seven
right seven, three hits, one earned.

216
00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:40.000
Anytime you see that no walks,
a lot of k's is so scared.

217
00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:42.240
Nine k's no walks. It was
the Garber home run. Yeah,

218
00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:45.879
I thought for a minute that Nate
Lowe, because Nate low hit won to

219
00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:48.799
left field, and I thought he
did kind of what he did in Houston

220
00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:53.720
when he went I'm sorry we didn't
Texas. In Game five, the left

221
00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:56.159
field just barely gets it over homer
and he almost did. I was like,

222
00:16:56.360 --> 00:16:59.720
that would have tied the game that
moment. They had a lot of

223
00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:03.720
warn track home runs. The Rangers
had three or four on Saturday night that

224
00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:07.759
just didn't quite have enough. But
you can't say enough about that pitching performance,

225
00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:11.319
dude, it was sick. What
do you guys think about the their

226
00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:17.720
willingness, especially early in games,
just to start moving runners. I don't

227
00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:19.480
love it. I mean there's part
of me that loves it, you know,

228
00:17:19.599 --> 00:17:23.640
kind of growing up with baseball being
played that way. But there's another

229
00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:27.400
part of me that thinks it's it
can bite you in the butt, especially

230
00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:33.359
if you're playing a slugging team like
Texas. I am highly against giving away

231
00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:38.559
outs. Yep. But their manager
even said it, and this is a

232
00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:41.680
couple of weeks ago in the playoffs, he was asked about that and he

233
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:47.119
was like, I don't love playing
small ball either, but sometimes that's it

234
00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:49.720
suits what we have best. He's
bestly just saying we don't have a big

235
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:55.319
power hitter. Yeah, they're drive
in everyone all the time, So I

236
00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:59.440
mean, you play to your strengths
and that fast. The one thing about

237
00:17:59.559 --> 00:18:03.759
what they have is if they can
get on base That's the thing is just

238
00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:10.359
get on base infield single uh you
know, Baltimore pop ups or chops or

239
00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:12.400
whatever you call it. Wormhop.
You know these guys are able to leg

240
00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:15.119
out. What otherwise would it be, you know, putouts at first,

241
00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:21.599
then the chaos can can begin.
The only problem you run into is if

242
00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:23.759
you've got a mashing team on the
other side, that's you know, hitting

243
00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:27.839
their cylinders, you're gonna get clubbed. It hadn't happened yet. I yes,

244
00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:30.599
it guess it happened on Friday.
But you know that they were in

245
00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:33.079
the lead. They were about to
win that game if it weren't for Corey

246
00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:37.920
Seeger. And you were about to
be down two to oh going out there

247
00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:41.599
if it weren't for Corey Seeger.
So I don't know, man, this

248
00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:45.599
team's a little scary. That's a
scary It's a scary truth that you know

249
00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:51.359
that they won whatever sixteen innings or
however you want to figure it out.

250
00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:55.599
Yeah, and yes, we are
frighteningly close to being down oh two,

251
00:18:55.759 --> 00:19:00.000
and then panic would ensue and I
would understand, but it's not the case.

252
00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:03.079
It's one. One the taste we
have in our mouth is Game two,

253
00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:08.960
which is not a delicious one.
But we're fine. We're absolutely fine.

254
00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:12.079
We're fine. And we saw everything
that happened in the Houston series when

255
00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:15.599
we went two oh in Houston,
thinking, oh my god, holy calcul

256
00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:18.680
that happened was all three games at
home? Oh my god, holy cow,

257
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:23.039
how could that happens? And then
you went to very very simple,

258
00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:26.640
a big question both teams. I
don't know who's gonna start Game four,

259
00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:32.759
So we're still rocking A two be
determined right now, so it's Sures reversus

260
00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:37.400
fat tonight. Maybe we'll hear the
game three preview song a little bit later

261
00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:41.279
eight thirty. Also at eight thirty
an interview that Evan Carter did after game

262
00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:44.480
one, and we'll we'll have to
count the times that he said the word

263
00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:49.119
gosh, oh my gosh, oh
gosh. That might be the sweetest,

264
00:19:49.160 --> 00:19:53.920
most innocent, normal man. Coming
up next, Did you guys know the

265
00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:59.240
Cowboys played yesterday? I did?
Did you guys know that the MAVs played

266
00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:03.400
the other night barely until I saw
that damn box score? Holy crap.

267
00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:06.279
More on that next. In ninety
seven one, the Free
