Yes, it's here. 29 00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:34.120 It's I was worried it was gonna be a long week, 30 00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:36.799 that there'd be a lot of build up in the 31 00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:39.239 initial days and then a little bit of a well, 32 00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:42.400 downtime deprivation. Yeah, yeah, that's that's happened. 33 00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:45.760 A little little, little little you know, you know, not 34 00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:46.959 so good with the missus. 35 00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:49.319 Nope, nope, you know, a couple of arguments. Fault. We 36 00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:51.680 did go to dinner last night. Okay, good, that was fun. 37 00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:54.760 That's not her fault. No, no, yeah, we had a 38 00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:56.879 good time to talk and kind of catch up. You know, 39 00:01:56.920 --> 00:01:59.079 it's been a long month of October during this Dodgers 40 00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:01.799 baseball run. But what have an another way? And she 41 00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:04.439 doesn't like it, so be it. But yeah, we get 42 00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:06.560 ready for Game one tomorrow. Today is going to be 43 00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:09.599 a busy day out of Dodgers Stadium, as both teams 44 00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:12.599 are gonna have their media availabilities and they're gonna do 45 00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:16.159 it out in the center field plaza area behind the Pavilions, 46 00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:19.120 which has all been redone since COVID and beautiful out there, 47 00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:21.319 and they're gonna have them there. All both teams will 48 00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:24.960 be there. They're gonna have a World Series type atmosphere 49 00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:27.680 for media day, and I mean that buy. They'll have 50 00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:30.199 like podium set up and tables set up for all 51 00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:32.759 the players and all the media that's gonna be there. 52 00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:36.560 The food hundreds for the media. Well, there's always food 53 00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:38.560 for them. Yeah, yeah, of course. 54 00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:41.039 Most guys want to know how long is the walk? 55 00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:46.080 Is their food? They want those two things. I don't 56 00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:48.479 want to bring the calories walking out there. That's one 57 00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:50.080 thing I was thinking of. Is the centerfield that's kind 58 00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:53.360 of track. You know, they might have the little carts 59 00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:56.800 you know to take them. Oh please, I'm serious now. 60 00:02:56.919 --> 00:02:59.960 They they want the they want the transportation ground transfer. 61 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:02.039 Tation is always big when you're booking events, you know. 62 00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:06.039 So they went to ground transportation and hopefully there's food there. 63 00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:09.240 Well, I can tell you there's a huge parking lot 64 00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:11.280 that they can move their cars closer to where the 65 00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:13.800 availability is for the media, which I think a lot 66 00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:15.599 of them are probably gonna do because it is a 67 00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:18.759 long walk from from the from the press box all 68 00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:21.360 the way down to the center field plaza and then 69 00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:22.039 back up. 70 00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:24.080 Yeah, you got to think the players are in the 71 00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:25.520 locker room and they've got to you know, make the 72 00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:26.080 walk and. 73 00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:28.439 Oh that's easy. That's see. They got the tunnel underneath 74 00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:30.280 there that will pop out by the bullpens and then 75 00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:33.319 next kind of walk right over. But the media folks, yeah, 76 00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:35.919 they're gonna be huffing and puffing and hands on knees 77 00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:38.800 and taking breaks in between and half way out there, right, 78 00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:42.039 and that escalator better be working to go back up 79 00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:44.319 to the press box level. Problem if it's not and 80 00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:46.639 they have to take stairs, the media is going to 81 00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:47.280 be mad. 82 00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:50.520 Need to get James Mims over there. They had the escalator. James, 83 00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:52.800 you know, James has been there forever for you can 84 00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:54.000 he can do the work over there. 85 00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:55.800 It's going to be a busy one out There's both 86 00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:58.159 teams will meet the media. They'll have the podium set up. 87 00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:00.599 There's gonna be a lot of international nation media and 88 00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:02.319 this is the day you're gonna get all those silly 89 00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:06.560 questions about what their favorite music is. It's it's like 90 00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:11.800 Super Bowl media embarrassing, Like, you know what, who cares 91 00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:13.560 about a walk up song? 92 00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:16.160 How about your barrel one up and get a base hit. 93 00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:18.519 Then we'll worry about your walk up song. 94 00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:21.560 But we need storylines, we need, we need, we need 95 00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:24.000 things to be written about Aaron Judge And did he 96 00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:27.759 grow up a Dodger fan in Fresno? And Jan Carlstanton? 97 00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:29.959 Why did you change your name? You were Mike Stanton 98 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:33.680 and then you're Jen Carlston. Come out now, okay? 99 00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:36.399 H And by the way, Aaron Judge is from Linden. 100 00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:39.399 He it's a it's a little town. I drive there 101 00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:42.680 when I'm going down the freeway to LA from Sacramento. 102 00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:45.279 Here it's in Linden. He did go to Fresno State, Okay, 103 00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:48.800 but he's from a little town called Linden. Linden I've 104 00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:51.120 never even heard of. Just off the side of the road. 105 00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:53.720 I mean, it is a small one. It is a 106 00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:56.319 tiny You go through there, you'll miss it. You better 107 00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:56.759 watch out. 108 00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:59.920 Isn't close to Fresno, Yeah, you know, it's down the 109 00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:03.519 there and you know, I think it's somewhere down not 110 00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:04.319 far from Drest. 111 00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:07.120 Yeah, it's south of Stockton, Okay, it's south of Stockton. 112 00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:09.480 Okay, so all right, well, well he probably grew up 113 00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:11.160 a Giants fan, so we'll get asked, tell you what. 114 00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:13.439 I'm gonna google it right now. I'm gonna google map 115 00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:16.759 this thing right now. Perfect, and we're gonna see exactly 116 00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:20.519 where Aaron Judge is. Okay, I'm getting close now, Okay, 117 00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:24.000 So yeah, Linden Okay, that's a telling you it's not 118 00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:24.959 a big place. 119 00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:27.120 So that makes sense why he was flirting with the 120 00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:29.439 San Francisco Giants a few years ago when he was 121 00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:33.759 a free agent, because it's close to home. Yeah, but 122 00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:38.839 you know northern California Bay area, Jason of course up there, 123 00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:39.319 and they're. 124 00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:41.480 Getting everything else in the sacrament area from Lynden. So 125 00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:45.360 I grew up off Linden Road, so it's you know, 126 00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:48.160 it's fitting that it's gonna have to bring it into there. 127 00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:50.199 But I can find out where it is. But it's 128 00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:53.399 it's in between sac and and Fresno and Freso State. 129 00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:55.839 So chances are I think he was probably a Giants 130 00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:57.000 fan closer to San France. 131 00:05:57.040 --> 00:05:59.519 Well, I'm sure a thousand different questions will be asked 132 00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:02.000 to him about that. And coming back to the West Coast, 133 00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:04.360 and you know you're gonna get the the question to 134 00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:06.920 to Jen Carl Stanton and the guys who are from California, 135 00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:09.879 like Aaron Judge, Are you in and out guy? Are 136 00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:12.160 you a five guys guy? Which burder is it? Are 137 00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:14.560 you a happy as though? 138 00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:17.279 I mean, this is gonna be epic trying to get 139 00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:21.120 you know, a nice you know, media blitz out of him. 140 00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:24.160 What hasn't been said with showy O Tommy. What are 141 00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:25.519 they gonna pick out now? 142 00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:27.560 Well, I I imagine you're gonna get a lot of 143 00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:29.879 the national media asking and what's it like to be 144 00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:31.000 here for the first time? 145 00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:34.279 What if he brings out do what I've been here 146 00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:37.439 for seven years? If he brings out one of those. 147 00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:41.160 I would love somebody to ask. And nobody will do 148 00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:44.279 this because he might get upset or you know, people 149 00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:47.519 around him might get upset, but heck, I'd love to 150 00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:50.399 ask him. Do you feel like you wasted six years 151 00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:54.600 of your career at ANNAHI? Oh my gosh, really, I mean. 152 00:06:55.079 --> 00:06:56.079 That's a little harder. 153 00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:58.399 You put up the numbers, but you didn't win. And 154 00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:00.920 now that you're in and I say it nicely because 155 00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:03.319 you know, because you're now in a World series in 156 00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:06.079 your first year not with the Angels, and your first 157 00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:08.240 year with the Dodgers and the production you put up 158 00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:12.000 as a fifty to fifty player. Certainly you were all 159 00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:14.920 an all star player at MVP player at ANAM, I 160 00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:17.839 have no doubt about that. But team wise, I mean individually, yes, 161 00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:20.079 you're great, But team wise, do you feel like maybe 162 00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:21.600 if you'd gone to a different team you had a 163 00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:24.160 chance to win earlier in your career, you wouldn't be 164 00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:27.439 here for the first time? You're seven? Stinging stinging question 165 00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:30.040 right there? What if they have a valid question? Well, yeah, 166 00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:32.199 but what if they break out something like this, do 167 00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:34.720 you want to kind of like say, ha ha, I 168 00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:38.079 told you so to Mike Trout they bring up one 169 00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:39.759 of them. I think that's a good follow up question. 170 00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:42.480 Well maybe the initial question. Yes, you know, I. 171 00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:44.360 Mean, I mean, if they're gonna really you know, let's 172 00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:46.759 get real with it. Look what you did and Trout 173 00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:47.920 still and yeah. 174 00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:49.480 I feel you know what, between you and me, Tim, 175 00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:51.759 I know, but nobody else is nobody else just us, 176 00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:53.040 just us right, nobody else listening. 177 00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:54.560 I feel sorry for Trout. 178 00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:57.199 I do too. I do because he is such a 179 00:07:57.240 --> 00:08:01.279 good dude, and he's just he's just languishing there. I mean, 180 00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:04.000 I want to see Mike Trout in the World Series, right, 181 00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:06.560 I want to see showhy. I want to see Mike Trout. 182 00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:09.199 This whole thing with all these great players. 183 00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:12.560 With Judge and you know, Mookie Batson, Freeman and all 184 00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:14.879 these I just think it's, you know, don't for everybody 185 00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:17.040 When I say this, people say, don't forget Soto and 186 00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:17.720 John Carlo. 187 00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:18.079 I'm not. 188 00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:20.439 There's just a lot of them, you know. But I mean, 189 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:22.079 I want to see Mike Trout in there, don't you. 190 00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:24.319 I would love to have seen Mike Trout sometime in 191 00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:27.399 the last ninety years boiled make the postseason more than 192 00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:30.199 one time. I'd love to see him on a national stage. 193 00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:32.279 I would love to see him promoted. And we got 194 00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:35.000 into this yesterday about the lack of promotion for individual 195 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:37.080 players in baseball, and it's it's been a thing forever. 196 00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:40.240 It's not something new that baseball just started not doing. Correct. 197 00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:43.000 But Mike Trout is a superstar and has been, and 198 00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:46.279 maybe he's on the back end of that superstar, possible 199 00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:49.159 Hall of Fame career because of all the injuries that 200 00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:51.440 he's suffered. But you know, it's funny you bring it up. 201 00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:54.200 You put in Mike Trout and immediately the first article 202 00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:56.600 that comes up is how does Mike Trout feel right 203 00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:58.919 now after seeing shoe Hey Otani make the World Series. 204 00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:01.000 I didn't read it. I just came up with that. 205 00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:04.200 I swear I didn't read it. I mean that's hard though, 206 00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:05.679 you know, I mean, yeah, think. 207 00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:07.679 You know the biggest stage that he's been on the 208 00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:11.360 World Baseball Classic, right, Dacy Shohey for Team USA. What 209 00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:13.639 a year ago in Miami? I think it was. And 210 00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:16.039 that's or Arizona when they square it off and Otani's 211 00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:19.039 struck Hi Abrount. That's the biggest stage of Mike Trout's career. 212 00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:19.879 It is. 213 00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:23.360 And and see how players elevate one another. It's a 214 00:09:23.399 --> 00:09:26.080 great thing. And that's that's a it's almost like stepping stones. 215 00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:28.919 That's a cascading effect of you know, one guy helping 216 00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:29.200 the other. 217 00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:30.159 And Mike Trout. 218 00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:32.879 The reason I feel feel for the guy is he's 219 00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:35.159 such an un you know, he signs the big deal. 220 00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:38.039 He's probably thinking that, you know, Ardie Morino is gonna 221 00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:40.440 go out and get a bunch of pitching, not you know, 222 00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:40.919 and it's. 223 00:09:40.759 --> 00:09:42.840 Always been the same thing. Boy, the Angels can sure 224 00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:44.639 score runs, but what's the issue? 225 00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:46.519 What do you think the issue is? Why did they 226 00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:49.960 draft every single player? I think a year ago or 227 00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:53.200 two years ago, every single guy they drafted twenty one 228 00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:55.120 picks or whatever it was before the COVID thing, So 229 00:09:55.159 --> 00:09:57.519 it was a few years ago, it was everyone was 230 00:09:57.559 --> 00:10:00.840 a pitcher, every single player, right, So you know what, 231 00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:02.919 what do you think the issue is? You need pitching 232 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:03.440 over there. 233 00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:07.639 And for Mike Trout, he so loyal to the Angels. 234 00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:09.759 He'll always say it that he wants to be here, 235 00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:12.159 he wants to continue to be an Angel. I mean 236 00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:15.799 he is now thirteen years into his career. He came 237 00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:19.120 up in twenty eleven and now missed the season where 238 00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:22.360 he played twenty nine games. I mean he's played only 239 00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:25.840 one hundred games one time in the last four years. 240 00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:29.559 About COVID, it's not gonna get better. As you get older, 241 00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:31.879 you start to break down a little bit. He's thirty 242 00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:35.159 three already. Yeah, God, I mean that that's I feel 243 00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:36.720 for the dude. I don't know if it's going to happen. 244 00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:38.639 It's not gonna happen an Angel, you know, no I 245 00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:41.000 gotta get traded. Yeah, he's gonna have to go somewhere else. 246 00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:42.879 And if you're Mike Trout, you should have made that 247 00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:46.000 call to the front office and made that loud and 248 00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:49.159 claire shouting from the rooftops three four years ago that 249 00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:51.039 you wanted to get out of there, especially a year 250 00:10:51.080 --> 00:10:53.679 ago when Otawni left him free agency. At that point, 251 00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:55.600 you've really got to get the megaphone out and say 252 00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:56.960 I want out of here. 253 00:10:57.039 --> 00:10:59.080 Yeah, but you know, he doesn't want to cause any 254 00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:02.720 waves or anything. Do you think that there's something still 255 00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:05.600 in there health wise where we could see three or 256 00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:08.080 four more, you know, big vibrant years of one hundred 257 00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:09.240 and forty five games plus. 258 00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:11.159 No, I don't see it. So I don't see it. 259 00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:13.320 I think he's the agent part time. Oh yeah, ninety 260 00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:15.559 that's his future is a designated here. I mean he 261 00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:17.799 tried to give it a go after the tormniscus. Yeah, 262 00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:19.519 and everybody said, oh, he's good to go. He went 263 00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:22.039 to Triple A Salt Lake City, first game out there, 264 00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:24.639 went out to the outfield right back in saying that 265 00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:26.840 he felt something again discomforting his knee. 266 00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:28.879 Yeah, but you know what, the guy's the guy's the 267 00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:31.559 thoroughbred man, and he he gets he wants to be 268 00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:33.200 out of the barn and run. I don't know how 269 00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:36.000 he's gonna sit, uh throughout through the game and just 270 00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:38.600 bat four times. I mean that would drive me crazy too. 271 00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:40.720 I got to be out there running around and you know, 272 00:11:40.799 --> 00:11:42.200 jumping over the wall and catching balls. 273 00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:44.279 If I'm like Trout, maybe he's too heavy. And I 274 00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:47.279 say this because he's, like you said, he's a thoroughbread Yeah, 275 00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:52.519 he is so physically chiseled. He's a specimen six five. Oh, 276 00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:54.879 he's more than two thirty five. I'm I'm thinking I'm 277 00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:57.440 thinking he's closer to two forty two fifty. That's gotta 278 00:11:57.480 --> 00:11:59.159 come down. Well, you know what. 279 00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:02.840 The thing about him, Look, there's only a couple of guys. 280 00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:06.399 And I'm just saying this from a sheer locker rooms. 281 00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:06.919 You know. 282 00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:12.919 Standpoint is, uh, I've seen a few specimens in in 283 00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:16.720 baseball where or in any sport where you just look 284 00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:18.480 at the guy and the guy shakes his head. He 285 00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:21.559 just goes that can't be real. I mean it looks 286 00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:23.960 like the statue of David. He makes a statue of 287 00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:26.480 David go away and hide. Okay, you know you know 288 00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:30.720 the three guys I've seen like that Judge. Uh No, 289 00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:33.360 I haven't been in there with him, but Bo Jackson 290 00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:38.200 is one. It's not even real. It's it's it's absolutely surreal. Okay, 291 00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:42.279 bo Jackson is one, Mike Trout is two, and Nick 292 00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:48.679 Bosa from the forty nine ers. Really you can't even 293 00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:50.799 believe it when you look at it's this isn't real. 294 00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:53.840 It's it's sick. It's just how did God make that? 295 00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:56.840 It's it's unbelievable. Guys shake their head, They're like, I 296 00:12:56.840 --> 00:12:57.440 can't believe this. 297 00:12:57.720 --> 00:12:59.919 It's it's it's got to be frustrating for Mike try 298 00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:00.960 I was talking to Mike. 299 00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:02.879 I'm starting rep. I was talking to Mike Soshi one time. 300 00:13:02.919 --> 00:13:04.679 He says, yeah, bo Jackson, I know you talk about 301 00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:06.519 it in that body and I saw his body in 302 00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:08.320 the clubhouse and I can't believe it. And he says, 303 00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:10.960 at least I have to work hard to keep my 304 00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:13.559 great body. You know the same part as bo Jackson. 305 00:13:14.360 --> 00:13:17.759 Just crazy, Go hit Tim. Sorry, No, I just I 306 00:13:17.799 --> 00:13:18.759 feel for Mike Trout. 307 00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:21.679 I mean, I you think about the superstars in this game, 308 00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:23.960 and I'm glad you brought up Trouty, because you know, 309 00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:26.879 the conversation right now in baseball going up to this 310 00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:29.919 World Series is how many future Hall of Famers are 311 00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:32.440 in this game and could it be one of the 312 00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:35.320 greatest World series we've ever seen when it's all said 313 00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:37.759 and done, ten, fifteen, twenty years from now, when these 314 00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:40.200 players' careers are all played out. 315 00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:43.399 I'm thinking seven. Yeah, I mean there could be more. 316 00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:46.399 I mean Will Smith's guy knocking on the doors, his 317 00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:49.320 numbers are equal to what Joe Mauer are out there. 318 00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:51.559 There are players that are still young in their career 319 00:13:51.559 --> 00:13:54.200 in the United States, like Yamamoto. I mean, he was 320 00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:56.679 paid to be Hall of Fame type player with the 321 00:13:56.759 --> 00:13:59.320 amount of money that he was given. Those are just 322 00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:02.639 two guys that aren't even considered Hall of Famers right now, 323 00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:05.840 but potentially could be you throwing both managers. You're throwing 324 00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:10.519 Andrew Freeman as Brian Cashman. I mean, in this whole 325 00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:13.879 World Series with both these organizations, I mean there's a 326 00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:15.440 lot of chattering, and certainly this is one of the 327 00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:17.120 things you talk about leading up a couple of days 328 00:14:17.159 --> 00:14:17.879 doing World Series. 329 00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:21.919 Yeah, you're absolutely right. Let's think off the top of 330 00:14:21.919 --> 00:14:25.679 my head. I'm looking at Judge Soto, possibly Kershaw is 331 00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:27.639 going to be in the first ballot, no question about it. 332 00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:30.519 Bets and Otani. Now, I mean there's five right off 333 00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:33.159 the top of my head, not counting anybody in administration. 334 00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:36.679 Did you say, Freeman. Oh yeah, Freddy Freeman. 335 00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:38.799 Sure. I think he's definitely got a great chance to 336 00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:41.360 be in the Hall of Fame. There's six of them already, 337 00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:45.480 said him. Yeah, so I got Judge Soto, Kersh, bets Otani, 338 00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:48.039 and Freeman. Uh, you know, right off the top of 339 00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:51.600 my head, Juan Soto, I said, Sodo. Obviously you're not listening. 340 00:14:51.639 --> 00:14:54.159 I'm sorry, Stanton. I'm just trying to run down names 341 00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:58.120 and writing down here. Possibly Garrett Cole. Garrett Cole is 342 00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:00.320 another one. I mean, there might be ten. When you 343 00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:01.639 count the guys in the front office. 344 00:15:02.039 --> 00:15:04.799 It's crazy. I mean, the best players in the sport 345 00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:06.600 are all in this World Series. 346 00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:09.600 What if Anthony Rizzo wins another World Series? Not this year, 347 00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:11.200 of course, but maybe down the road. He was part 348 00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:13.759 of that Cubs team that broke the curse in twenty sixteen. 349 00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:15.960 Yeah, probably on the bubble, Yeah, I would say one 350 00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:16.720 of those bubble guys. 351 00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:20.600 Yeah, I mean really on the bubble Walker Bueller. I 352 00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:22.759 mean still has the rest of his career to play out. 353 00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:24.919 He'd have to just shove for the next five years. 354 00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:29.039 Yeah yeah, I mean think the World Series champ. How 355 00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:32.879 about Dave Roberts, Oh, he needs one more World Series 356 00:15:32.919 --> 00:15:34.519 when they win it this year. I think he's a 357 00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:36.759 lot because that'll put him as two as a manager, 358 00:15:36.919 --> 00:15:40.320 yeah and one is a player. Right, And we talked 359 00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:44.080 about it during the NLCS. The amount of divisional titles, 360 00:15:44.519 --> 00:15:47.720 Championship series titles he's got right next to Bobby Cox, 361 00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:50.879 certainly not the same quantity as Bobby Cox, but up 362 00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:52.960 there as far as right behind Bobby Cox for the 363 00:15:53.039 --> 00:15:56.159 most all time. Yeah, I mean the star power the 364 00:15:56.200 --> 00:15:59.279 future Hall of Famers in this series is off the charts. 365 00:15:59.559 --> 00:16:04.440 Well right now, how about Tommy Edmond. I'm just hey, 366 00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:06.799 you know what, you can make a bit splash World 367 00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:08.440 series about Aaron Boone? 368 00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:11.840 Yeah, hey, yeah, I mean true. 369 00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:14.639 Okay, player, but manager if he can win a World Series. 370 00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:17.720 You know, he's known for the home run in the ALCS. 371 00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:19.039 Yep, big one. 372 00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:22.080 I mean they're saying this is the most star studded 373 00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:26.159 World series we've seen since nineteen ninety six and before 374 00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:28.279 that this is about nineteen thirty two. 375 00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:30.519 Right way back then, when you're talking to guys like 376 00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:33.440 Melott and you know all those cats, right, but this 377 00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:37.360 you're talking about really a very defining World series for 378 00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:40.679 some guys. I mean, look at Freddy Freeman can really 379 00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:43.679 push himself over the edge into the no doubt land, 380 00:16:43.879 --> 00:16:45.679 you know, if they win the World Series here because 381 00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:47.600 he's you know, he's out there playing on one leg 382 00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:50.759 and still doing it. Sodo is pushing himself into that 383 00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:54.039 elite group, I think, and Judge is already in there. 384 00:16:54.080 --> 00:16:57.799 And we're almost seeing a renaissance, if you will, of 385 00:16:57.879 --> 00:17:00.440 John Carlos Stanton because for a long time he was 386 00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:02.200 always the injuries and he was down so much. But 387 00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:04.640 now he's the one that's been lifting this team in 388 00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:08.359 the Divisional, in the Championship series. So we'll see what 389 00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:10.400 he does in the World Series. But he's been a 390 00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:13.400 guy that's been the big staple, and Judge really hasn't 391 00:17:13.440 --> 00:17:16.400 shined like we know that he can. It's been John 392 00:17:16.440 --> 00:17:17.759 Carlo that's been doing it so far. 393 00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:22.880 Thirteen players and managers from the nineteen thirty two Yankees 394 00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:26.039 Cubs World Series were Hall of Famers or went on 395 00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:28.839 to be Hall of Famers thirteen. That's the record nineteen 396 00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:33.759 thirty two lot of Nubbs. I'm not seeing his name 397 00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:36.720 for that. Yeah, that's a babe, Ruth Lukeerrick, Bill Dickey, 398 00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:43.000 Lefty Gomez, Herb Pinnic World Series. In the divisional era 399 00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:47.799 of the postseason nineteen ninety six is Yankees Braves series 400 00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:51.880 had eight Hall of Famers in there, Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, 401 00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:55.519
