00:00:11.439 --> 00:00:18.600
Wake up, your little sleepy head. It's time to get your stupid ass

2
00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:35.600
out of bed. To you about
the most important thing in the most important

3
00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:45.200
thing in what else? What else
could it possibly be? And are fighting

4
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:49.240
Texas Rangers? It's so I love. I mean, how about like,

5
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:52.759
how often? How much did you
think of cowboys this weekend? I crossed

6
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:55.280
my mind and they were playing Monday. I know we had some preparation work

7
00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:57.560
for the show today, which we'll
get into at seven o'clock. We'll do

8
00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:00.960
some Cowboys, but it's gonna be
rangerscled in throughout the morning because it is,

9
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:06.560
without question around here the most important
thing in the world. I feel

10
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:15.599
like the Cowboys deny it as almost
an unwelcome responsibility, unwelcome responsibility. The

11
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:21.840
story Three Cowboys Mike McCarthy to play
caller. Oh my god, you nailed

12
00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:26.799
it. Unwelcome response, welcome responsibility, Like we kind of just have to

13
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:32.719
do it. Yes, yes,
I do, especially to especially because like

14
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:34.319
I know you, I think you
were about to say, this is There's

15
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:42.680
man, there's nothing like having your
baseball team relevant in the fall. Yeah,

16
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:46.239
it's unlike any other playoffs, but
every other playoff is unlike that.

17
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:52.840
Playoff. There is incredible how unique
the four major sports vibe about their playoffs.

18
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:56.480
Yeah, well, I don't know
what do you think's a higher tension

19
00:01:56.560 --> 00:02:00.680
level Hockey or baseball? And that's
that's it. It's a different timee atension

20
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:05.879
because I think the hockey tension is
where you're constantly grinding it, like your

21
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:10.039
body is just completely tensed up at
all times. Baseball it's like a bipolar

22
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:13.439
up and down, up and down, up and down, because there is

23
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:17.479
time to kind of decompress in between
pitches. You get the long commercial breaks

24
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:22.199
in between innings, so you get
time to kind of process the stuff.

25
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:25.599
Yeah, it's different. They're all
different. And most baseball games are within

26
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:31.240
reach almost always. I mean last
night certainly was. It was never comfortable.

27
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:35.879
No, hockey is just all stress
all the time. Unless you get

28
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:39.240
to like a three goal lead,
then you can that's not necessarily out of

29
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:43.000
reach, but then you can maybe
take a breath. It's not just pure

30
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:46.680
hell the whole time, but baseball
everything, it's you're right, it's a

31
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:52.080
different type of tension, a slower
burn, but it doesn't go anywhere.

32
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:57.599
It's just so hard, hard and
stressful, and you're i don't know if

33
00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:00.520
this applies to hockey, but in
baseball, you guys being lifers, just

34
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:06.879
so pessimistic, you're expecting the worst
to happen. But these bastards haven't lost

35
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:10.360
the game yet. It's incredible how
I've I mean, what's the longest wednesdreak

36
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:14.680
of the year. Well, I
don't know, I know the number on

37
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:17.439
Hedge. He's asses down to seven, that's true. And you guys think

38
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:22.919
he has a seven eleven tattoo.
Now, yeah, he's definitely had a

39
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:25.360
seven eleven. It's the seven that's
on there that were it's green and the

40
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:31.719
eleven is an orange and a weird
color scheme for a butt cheek. The

41
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:36.319
one thing I was thinking about last
night though, because just kidding, who's

42
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:39.159
on seven on a Sunday night and
you're considering all of your options and what

43
00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:42.080
time you have to wake up in
the morning. You know a lot of

44
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:44.879
people probably want to get it work
on a Monday. We'll get hit to

45
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:49.520
better ly on a Sunday night.
I found this from I found this yesterday

46
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:53.080
morning. I threw this into the
document here because I thought it was interesting

47
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:59.039
because playoff Times and John Smoltz mentioned
it on the broadcast multiple times last night

48
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:01.599
and last week in the Baltimore series. In the playoffs, you know,

49
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:06.960
he basically talked about the Rangers offense
like a basketball team won a fast break.

50
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:11.199
You know, if you're a pitcher, you could step off and take

51
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:14.879
a deep breath and look around.
No. No, these playoff games were

52
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:17.680
unwatchable the last few years. And
it's not just because the Rangers were out

53
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:21.959
of it because I tried to get
into it playoff baseball. No, they're

54
00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:27.240
four hour games every freaking time.
Yeah, even longer in the playoffs,

55
00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:30.800
and it was just tedious. The
average game this year was two hours and

56
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:34.120
forty minutes, down twenty four minutes
from last season. That's amazing, And

57
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:40.120
there is no that's a lot the
playoffs can't extend that the game might move

58
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:44.680
a little slower. Maybe maybe there's
an extra commercial throat in I don't even

59
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:46.279
know that what the rules are on
that, maybe during the commercial break,

60
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:50.079
But other than that, that game
was moving. The game start at seven

61
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:55.839
to fifteen once they got done with
a Rod Jeter and David Ortiz's JO session,

62
00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:00.240
and then seven fifteen we were done
by ten. Yeah, yeah,

63
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:04.600
it was great, felt boring no, you know, it does help when

64
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:09.600
both starting pitchers go as deep as
those two guys. That's the key.

65
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:12.519
It is the key when you don't
have a bunch of mound visits and pitching

66
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:15.680
changes and whatnot. But boy,
I love that pitch clock. Yeah,

67
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:19.079
I love just seeing it looming over
there on the side and it's like eight

68
00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:24.879
second secnce. No stepping off,
no throws over to first anymore. No

69
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:30.399
mind games, you know, between
the mind games of the pitcher catcher with

70
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:34.079
the hitter and all that stuff.
It's just fantastic. No tightening up your

71
00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:40.560
batting gloves. Yeah, no Garcia
parring everything that's velcrow in your whole body.

72
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:44.560
Yeah. I mean, if the
action held up it's into the bargain,

73
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:46.720
then that could be fine. But
it doesn't. There are more strikeouts

74
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:50.240
than hits. It was very long
overdue to make the changes that they have

75
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:57.240
slowly made. But and baseball purists, you know, you freak out every

76
00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:00.720
little change and you raise a stink. But dude, these were genius.

77
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:03.839
Agree, it's so much better for
us. Yes, I don't think that.

78
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:09.639
I don't know if the game was
ever in and at risk of just

79
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:13.720
disappearing, but it has waned in
popularity. They don't market their players as

80
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:17.160
their players. Maybe that's this way. Their players aren't as market as marketable

81
00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:21.040
as other sports, so the public
perception of the game is that it's boring.

82
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:27.519
But I think these changes could could
go to great links in saving this

83
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:30.399
game long term. Yes, for
sure. But that said, I really

84
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:34.600
wonder what the national interest is in
this series. Probably pretty damn low.

85
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:40.199
I was thinking about not paying attention
to last night Sunday night football game,

86
00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:43.199
and when I got on Twitter after
the game, all of my timeline was

87
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:46.120
talking about the last play in Bills
and Giants. Yeah, So, I

88
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:50.560
mean the answer is, don't go
up against football anytime you can, right.

89
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:56.399
This is why I've been clamoring for
baseball. When most teams, well

90
00:06:56.480 --> 00:07:00.600
a lot of teams have some form
of an indoor situation to start their season.

91
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:04.040
First of all, they could take
eighteen to twenty games off their season

92
00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:06.720
if they wanted to. They don't
because the owners get money from the gate.

93
00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:14.120
That's fine. Start your season in
March, not late March. Early

94
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:17.120
March to mid March. Start your
season then have it wrapped up. Your

95
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:24.720
most important games of the season happen
in the heat of football. So tonight

96
00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:28.120
game one of the NLCS. If
you don't care about Rangers astros A three

97
00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:31.680
thirty to day and you want to
watch Phillies, Diamondbacks, no, Cowboys

98
00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:34.920
and Chargers, you're gonna take the
cake there. And then they're off on

99
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:38.800
Tuesday. I mean that there'll be
an LCS game tomorrow night, but the

100
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:42.240
Rangers are off on Tuesday. But
it just stay away from football, I

101
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:46.120
agree, But isn't I mean baseball
essentially plays in every month that the weather

102
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:50.199
allows it to be played. I
mean, because every year there's always a

103
00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:56.240
couple Opening Day games where they're freezing. Yeah, and there's snow. I

104
00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:59.560
mean not every year the snow,
but it's definitely happened. And then you

105
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:03.800
run in to these late late games
where I mean, obviously not down here,

106
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:07.160
but if you're far en off north
weather, I don't know, it's

107
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:13.240
almost impacts the game unfairly, and
I like, you shouldn't be playing in

108
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:18.560
sleet. No, I agree,
But if it already happens anyway, who

109
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:22.160
cares? If it happens two or
three more times. If I'm not talking

110
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:24.079
about this happening for seven to ten
games, I guess it could be if

111
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:28.399
you started, No, I'm talking
about middle of March. If you even

112
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:31.480
start the middle of March, I
think you are bringing in potential weather that

113
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:37.320
could which already happens on March thirtieth, So who cares. Yeah, but

114
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:41.759
if you have full series wiped out
because of a late snowstorm, I don't

115
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:45.720
know. I agree with you in
principle that, yes, avoid football at

116
00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:48.519
all costs. How much of a
bigger deal with the Ryder Cup have been

117
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:54.480
if they avoided playing their biggest day
on Sunday? No, I agree with

118
00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:56.919
that too, you know, but
you can't do it all, man.

119
00:08:56.960 --> 00:08:58.639
We have a lot of sports.
Basketball's first two months of the year.

120
00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:03.480
Basket ball goes kicks ass, but
it's all during football. Then the Super

121
00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:05.960
Bowl happens and NBA is like,
oh, it's all Star Break, We're

122
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:11.159
off for a week. It's amazing
they still allow this to happen. Avoid

123
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:13.840
the King, but it wasn't always
the King to a level where killed the

124
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:18.039
king. You can't kill the king. Okay, yes, you can't kill

125
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:20.080
the king, but it was I
mean, these sports been around a very

126
00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:24.240
long time, longer than football.
In the case of baseball, so is

127
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:31.399
track and swimming. And badminton the
all bad. They should reschedule everything.

128
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:35.080
They avoid the King. They should
just play what Tuesday mornings, that's when

129
00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:43.200
they play tomorrow morning, the World
Badminton League. There's a big one tomorrow

130
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:48.960
in Wales. I did stumble upon
like the Rugby World Cup this weekend,

131
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:54.120
d and people were losing theirs.
It was England versus Fiji. Al ready

132
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:56.840
for people to lose their minds.
Y'all's wait, young ones coming and the

133
00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:03.759
beginning of November, right and Farmers
Grand Pickleball National Pickleball Championships, and that

134
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:07.840
is gonna be nut to butt dude, that's gonna be packed out of Brookhaven.

135
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:13.600
Just wait, Oh, you won't
be able to make it to work

136
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:18.720
on time. The wait, the
cars will be backed up on the tollway.

137
00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:22.679
You'll see, just wait, won't
see. I won't see kevot.

138
00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:26.440
It's gonna be a big deal,
That's what I'm telling. Okay, good,

139
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:30.120
I hope it is. They avoid
the King. So how I don't

140
00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:33.279
know. I don't even know.
If you're a Ranger fan, you know,

141
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:37.919
yeah, I am maybe just kind
of by yesterday I think, I

142
00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:41.480
mean, the MAVs are the team
that I have well, I mean all

143
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:43.279
MAVs stars and Rangers. I've embraced
them all. I grew up with just

144
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:48.200
the Dolphins, no other pro sports
in South Florida. I was an exposed

145
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:50.840
fan growing up just because I needed
a baseball team and they disappeared. So

146
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:54.600
it made me a perfect free agent. Absolutely. What you got your guys

147
00:10:54.799 --> 00:11:01.000
emotional state? Were you riding high
on the highs and feeling down on the

148
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:03.000
lows? And and how was?
Because I don't I know. For me

149
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:07.320
last night it was a lot different
than it was, you know, twelve

150
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:13.039
years ago when they were just starting
to be relevant in the postseason and make

151
00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:16.519
these deep runs and get into the
ALCS and make it to the World Series.

152
00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:20.320
Because that was I was an emotional
wreck for those times. That wasn't

153
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:22.679
the case last night. I was
pretty damn flat lined for the most part.

154
00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:28.759
I bet I bet you though,
Kevy Oh were just pulling your hair

155
00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:31.960
out. I'd avoided thinking about it
pretty much all weekend. At about six

156
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:33.759
o'clock, I want, I'm getting
kind of nervous. Yeah, what is

157
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:37.879
this nervous energy that I don't know
why? Maybe I was just hungry.

158
00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:41.000
Why do you have a different why
do you feel differently. I don't know.

159
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:43.159
I don't know. Maybe it's just
because I'm a little older, and

160
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:50.960
you know, I've kind of been
able to put maybe to grade the importance

161
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:54.440
of things in life, you know, and realize that I've already been down

162
00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:58.679
this road twice with this team,
and and know what that that roller coaster

163
00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:03.679
feels like. And I don't know
if I've just naturally decided not to get

164
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:07.480
on that emotional ride, which I
feel like I'm probably missing out because it

165
00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:09.039
is a lot of fun to be
biting your nails the whole time. I

166
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:13.639
mean, I want them to win. And yes, and when the clerk

167
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:16.159
recorded that final out, especially on
a fastball, I thought for sure he

168
00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:20.440
was going to go to his sinker
for that. Anyway, challenged him up

169
00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:24.320
and in with that fastball and got
that last I did fist on me go.

170
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:26.879
Yes, I was. I was
into it at that point. But

171
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:33.360
all the other stuff, I wasn't
just an anxiety mess because they made it

172
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:37.320
to the World Series that year.
Those two years and COVID changed Danny's perspective

173
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:43.320
on life and everything. COVID had
nothing to do with my perspective on life.

174
00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:46.039
But the climate change is affecting Danny's
moods. We did it weird that

175
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:52.320
a climate changers just collecting all these
plastic forks getting ahead of climate. I

176
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:58.840
don't know how it works, Hey, Climio, stop hoarding the climate.

177
00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:05.320
Yeah, look out scientists a lot. Yeah. I just figured that Kevy

178
00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:09.480
oh was was just a basket of
nerves over there in his little tiny house.

179
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:11.879
And Richardson, could anyone not have
been in the eighth inning? We

180
00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:16.720
all know it was happening, so
big, big, big problem with this

181
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:22.039
guy who need to stop doubting,
right, the guy who's led them to

182
00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:24.399
perfection in the playoffs. But I
was like, why would you take out

183
00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:28.840
Jordan Montgomery at the seven? Let's
talk about what goddess at that point,

184
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:33.799
because you did have a pretty damn
uh uh October pitchers duel for the majority

185
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:39.600
of that game, and Jordan Montgomery
out battled Verlander. Yeah he did.

186
00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:45.360
And and it's really funny that for
you know, the way these two teams

187
00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:48.840
have been positioned as being these you
know, offensive powerhouses, and especially the

188
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:54.440
way the Rangers have just been rolling
through the playoffs just out batting people.

189
00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:56.639
It's kind of lost on people that
man, they're starting pitching has gone deep

190
00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:01.080
into games. Their bullpen seems to
have figured out their woes, even the

191
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:05.679
bend don't break bullpen. But I
was the most surprised. I was is

192
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:09.000
at the outcome. I did not
expect a two to nothing game, especially

193
00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:13.399
being on the positive end of that
country ship he was dealing. That was

194
00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:18.039
cool, man. He's he's really
is, and he's a free agent right

195
00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:22.559
after this. See he is a
free agent. And I would say that

196
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:26.039
Martin Perez, sixteen million dollars comes
off the books, all right. Will

197
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:31.679
love to lock him up. Put
that sixteen and come up with about seven

198
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:35.679
or eight more and give him five
years because if you can get a healthy

199
00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:37.840
de Gram, which is I mean, that's such a wild card. But

200
00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:43.080
with Schuzer, de Gram, Eovaldi
and George Montgomery and John Gray will be

201
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:48.000
here too. Something else man,
And not to mention Dunnings earned a spot,

202
00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:50.559
yep, I mean there's a lot
there. He just paints. He

203
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:54.519
paints a beautiful picture. Yeah,
and for that size, you kind of

204
00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:58.840
think he might rear back and have
a little more gas in the tank,

205
00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:03.840
but he doesn't really. He just
he just works those corners, touches the

206
00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:07.759
outside. I love the little red
dot. Yeah, I love my red

207
00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:11.600
dots, especially when they call it
a ball when it's clearly a red dot.

208
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:16.039
A couple of times against US yep
and John Smoltz goes Man. These

209
00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:18.159
homps have done a great job in
this series. Like right after a bad

210
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:22.799
call, like time that better.
If you want to compliment the amps,

211
00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:26.000
you know what, he goes huh, he gets the ball back and just

212
00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:30.879
those again. He has a quick
like what I will say, not mad

213
00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:35.600
about it. You know that had
a couple of what you know to us

214
00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:39.399
watching it on TV, we're pretty
glaring mistakes where he called two balls that

215
00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:45.679
were but they were strikes but they
weren't or whatever. But I thought he

216
00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:48.360
was really good. I thought that
behind. I thought that the homeplate umpire

217
00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:52.120
was actually really good last night because
there was some pitches and if it just

218
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:56.039
touches that that implied strike zone that
they have on screen, even if it's

219
00:15:56.039 --> 00:16:00.960
a little bit outside and it shows
red. He was really consistent through the

220
00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:04.039
night, and that's a hard ass
job. And almost he was so good

221
00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:07.840
early on that I thought he's got
a buzzer in his ear or something that

222
00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:12.519
is transit that is relaying the information
of this this digital strike zone to his

223
00:16:12.559 --> 00:16:17.240
ear because he was making some really
tough but good calls, I thought,

224
00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:18.639
But yeah, he screwed up a
couple times, so I guess that's to

225
00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:23.919
be expected, him said of Montgomery. Nothing straight, nothing's the same,

226
00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:27.480
same release point, the balls get
on you. They call him a big

227
00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:30.559
guy. Sometimes he steps on the
brakes with the curve ball. Other times

228
00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:33.840
he just rams in a four seamer
on you. Makes my job easy,

229
00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:38.200
it really is. It's really artful
pitching. It's beautiful craft, and it's

230
00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:41.159
a whole it's different when you see
that. We fall in love rightly so

231
00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:45.320
with these power pitchers and just watch
them dominate, and you know, I

232
00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:48.600
don't want to be Braves guy,
but you know, back in the day

233
00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:53.240
it was Maddox of course, and
Glavin just painting the outside all day long,

234
00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:56.679
and it's kind of thrown back to
that. Man. It's a different

235
00:16:56.679 --> 00:17:00.480
style and it is really beautiful full
to watch. Well. Then, these

236
00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:06.119
guys are obviously the best at what
they do, and if you get your

237
00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:10.440
timing right, you can hit one
hundred and three easily for them, pretty

238
00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:12.799
easily to get around one hundred and
three mile an hour fastball if they get

239
00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:17.559
their timing right, and what Montgomery
does is disrupts your timing. Verlander's call

240
00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:21.279
the same way all night long.
We had two horses out there last night

241
00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:25.200
giving it. They're all and look
if you're if you're the Astros, and

242
00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:29.240
they told you that that Verlander's gonna
go seven and give up two, earned

243
00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:30.759
you take it well, and then
it look at the little things too.

244
00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:36.359
Evan Carter slaps a base in the
right field, could have easily just stopped

245
00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:38.519
it first, but because of where
it was, he had time to go

246
00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:42.000
a second. They talked about the
how kind of deeked the right fielder a

247
00:17:42.039 --> 00:17:48.599
little bit gets into second base into
scoring a scoring position, and then jonaheim

248
00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:52.119
get who drove him in to make
it one nothing. I mean, guys,

249
00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:56.720
two months ago we were talking about
is Jonaheime out for the year with

250
00:17:56.759 --> 00:18:00.799
a wrist injury and needs risk surgery
and they got to say an opinion on

251
00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:03.200
it. They took their time with
it and realize, Okay, if we

252
00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:07.279
rehab this correctly, we can deal
with this in the offseason and he can

253
00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:11.640
hang in as long as the pain
tolerance is there. And Jonahim is not

254
00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:14.720
one hundred percent and he's catching,
and he's one of the best like frame

255
00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:19.519
rate catchers in baseball despite being huge
and tall. And that's just a trade

256
00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:22.079
the Raiders made a few years ago. He's in the Elvisandris trade, you

257
00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:26.960
know, to Oakland years ago.
And then you get your run in your

258
00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:30.279
ahead and then Leoti with a little
insurance run. You could have had more

259
00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:33.240
injurs. Josh Spores does his job. But this is what the game comes

260
00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:37.200
down to. This game comes down
to putting a roll as Chapman in the

261
00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:41.160
game against the team historically sucks against. And when we were all feeling it,

262
00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:44.839
every single person, sure, we
all were feeling it. It was

263
00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:48.519
a collective no. He almost fed
it up as Bregman hits one of the

264
00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:55.160
track and Evan Carter has played that
stupid wall in left field where it's a

265
00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:57.160
short wall and then it turns into
a deep wall. He didn't know where

266
00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:00.640
the wall was, you know,
and he jumps and he makes a catch

267
00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:03.759
that could have just been over his
head. It was so deep that I

268
00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:07.240
couldn't even see him catch it.
Really, yeah, it was. I

269
00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:08.799
thought he was gonna hit high off
the wall, and then you misjudge the

270
00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:14.559
jump and then it bounces back and
it's an easy double dude that that we

271
00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:18.319
have a magic boy. We do
imagined. Sometimes that's that's what you need.

272
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:25.200
And it is fun to see the
narratives and the stories being created because

273
00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:29.359
these things do happen in October.
You don't remember anything about the regular season,

274
00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:33.880
but you'll remember if the Rangers go
on to win. You remember the

275
00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:37.960
Evan Carter game, the Evan Carter
defensive game, because don't don't forget.

276
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:41.880
Early in the game, he had
a very important first yeah, first inning,

277
00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:45.400
running catch that probably saved an extra
base hit. He's a center fielder.

278
00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:48.920
If they don't have a better center, you're absolutely right. He scores

279
00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:53.039
what it turns out to be the
game winning run, which was the first

280
00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:56.599
run of the game, on a
heads up base running play, and then

281
00:19:56.720 --> 00:20:02.400
makes what was in all likelihood a
game save catch to that little nook out

282
00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:07.440
there and left center, which was
time perfectly fifteen feet left. That thing

283
00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:10.920
is long gone, but he's the
story of the game man, and doesn't

284
00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:17.119
tag up right well. He's advancing
to second and then he touches second base

285
00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:19.960
and goes past a little bit,
but he didn't retrace so you have to

286
00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:23.440
like hit the bag back to go
back to first base and does not touch.

287
00:20:23.720 --> 00:20:29.640
Simeon saw it immediately, and the
next camera shot after Simeon is the

288
00:20:29.720 --> 00:20:33.559
Rangers dugout frantically on it. And
then it cuts to Altwove and now two

289
00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:37.720
bays looking at second base, and
he's got the same face, the same

290
00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:41.480
guilty face he had on the time
he hit the home run and told everyone

291
00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:45.759
not to pull the buzzer off of
his shirt. You can see it.

292
00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:48.640
I watched the jiff of it.
I did it again. I watched the

293
00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:51.400
jiff of his home run, and
it's like he's making the same face.

294
00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:55.359
You could see it, and is
the it's the face. I'm looking at

295
00:20:55.400 --> 00:21:00.240
the thing. I'm looking at the
incident where it happened, and I'm going,

296
00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:03.960
oh no, Like he made the
same face. Yeah. His look

297
00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:07.920
of frustration when the official call came
down after the replay was not one of

298
00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:11.559
disbelieve or thinks that they got it
wrong. It was like he knew it

299
00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:15.359
and he was frustrated with himself for
screwing that up. He should not screw

300
00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:21.400
that up. I mean the ball
players I agree in that. Like,

301
00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:23.759
obviously, if you round the base, you need to come back. I

302
00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:26.960
thought they may have had an argument
for he was still parallel to the base,

303
00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:32.359
you know, like I don't know, if you don't like cross the

304
00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:36.160
plane of the back of the base, maybe do you not have to go

305
00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:38.480
back? You know, I don't
know the rule technically on it. And

306
00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:41.839
clearly there was not much of argument. I mean it was it was cut

307
00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:47.000
and dry, and in a world
where we say, you know, officiating

308
00:21:47.119 --> 00:21:51.319
evens itself out, I think that
call kind of helps even out maybe the

309
00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:55.440
mist what would have been called third
strikes in that game. Yeah, so

310
00:21:55.680 --> 00:21:59.680
you know, was really really just
when they're trying hard not to get hit

311
00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:03.240
the numb all game. Maybe we
can talk more about Chapman later and that

312
00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:07.319
that whole mindset and decision making and
what a freaking roller coaster that dude is

313
00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:11.359
every time he gets in the game. Yeah, we will sprinkle in Rangers

314
00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:14.200
fun throughout the morning. If you
want to chime in two one, four,

315
00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:17.440
seventy seven, one nine seven one
at any point throughout the morning,

316
00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:19.319
we would love to have you on
and talk about your Ranger excitement. I

317
00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:22.759
did look it up. Eight game
win streak, the longest they had this

318
00:22:22.839 --> 00:22:26.000
season, Wow, and they're sitting
on a sixer right now, have not

319
00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:30.759
lost in the postseason, and go
on the road and steal home field advantage

320
00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:34.640
away from the Houston Astros. Unbelievable. The phone number you gave out works

321
00:22:34.680 --> 00:22:37.960
for our text message machine as well. Yeah yeah, hit us up,

322
00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:41.920
wonder boy. What is the secret
of your power? That's a text I

323
00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:47.160
just got ten seconds ago. How
about that text us hang out? Whatever,

324
00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:49.200
we're gonna talk Rangers have some fun. But we're gonna talk at Dallas

325
00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:55.240
Cowboys as well because they play tonight, they play against Kellen Moore and the

326
00:22:55.359 --> 00:22:59.279
LA Chargers, and uh, we'll
jump into it at Sports at seven next

327
00:22:59.359 --> 00:23:00.920
Right here on ninety seven, won
the free
