1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, guys, welcome in. It's total basis.

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 2: It's day two of the it's Wednesday, it's October first,

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:12,439
although yesterday really was October baseball, but we are officially

4
00:00:12,439 --> 00:00:15,119
in the month of October. Day two of the playoffs,

5
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,559
another full slate of Major League Baseball. And because we

6
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,719
only have four games and we do have a minute

7
00:00:20,719 --> 00:00:24,719
as people sort of file in, I want to just

8
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,000
bring up, like an observation I had in last night,

9
00:00:27,039 --> 00:00:29,079
get your guys take on it, because it goes back

10
00:00:29,399 --> 00:00:31,480
to something that we were talking about yesterday a little

11
00:00:31,519 --> 00:00:34,039
bit in terms of coaching and trying to handicap a

12
00:00:34,079 --> 00:00:35,920
coach in the playoffs.

13
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,719
Speaker 1: I think that's very important. And so Eric.

14
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:43,079
Speaker 2: Hosmer follows me on Twitter, which I think is very cool.

15
00:00:43,399 --> 00:00:45,679
Neither here nor there. But of course, if you don't

16
00:00:45,719 --> 00:00:48,560
know who Eric Cosmer is, four time All Star, four

17
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,479
time goal glover, played in the league for over a decade,

18
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:57,399
believe you won a World Series with the Royals. And

19
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,719
the point being made, and I'll start with Brian and

20
00:00:59,719 --> 00:01:05,000
I'll go to Tokyo branded on this is Someone tweeted analytics

21
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:09,000
are a regular season thing, and it looked like he

22
00:01:09,079 --> 00:01:11,719
agreed with that. And the reason I bring that up

23
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,200
is because yesterday the Yankees went with a lineup that

24
00:01:16,239 --> 00:01:19,280
got criticized. And so my question to you, Brian, and

25
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,480
I think this is very important when you're handicapping these games.

26
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,799
If you've done something a certain way all season, do

27
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,719
you continue to do it that way in the playoffs

28
00:01:28,799 --> 00:01:30,760
or are you on the side that like, hey, it's

29
00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:33,599
the playoffs, we should have our best lineup out there

30
00:01:33,599 --> 00:01:36,400
with our best players. And this is of course alluding

31
00:01:36,439 --> 00:01:38,480
to the fact that the Yankees did not have Jazz

32
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,519
or Ben Rice in the lineup. I think it's an

33
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,560
interesting discussion. I thought it would be a good way

34
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:43,560
to start the show.

35
00:01:44,239 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 3: Well, Jazz was slightly hurt, so that was why he

36
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,159
wasn't in there. Yes, I didn't like the way he

37
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,599
traded someone coming up to him to interview him. Afterwards,

38
00:01:54,599 --> 00:01:57,120
he turns his back on the interviewers. That shows you

39
00:01:57,159 --> 00:02:02,159
a lot of class. But yeah, analytics working. If they're

40
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,159
working in the regular season, why don't you use them

41
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,959
in the playoffs. It's just an extension of the regular season.

42
00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:12,159
It's just the games mean more. And there's reasons why

43
00:02:12,199 --> 00:02:15,000
you battle lefties against righties for the most part, and

44
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,120
those teams are our reason why they're here because they

45
00:02:20,199 --> 00:02:21,960
got so much depth. You know, the Phillies have got

46
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,080
great depth. A lot of these teams have great depth.

47
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,919
But the Yankees don't really do that. And most of

48
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,039
the time that Blue Jays and the Yankees, especially the

49
00:02:30,039 --> 00:02:32,680
Blue Jays just throw out the same lineup every day.

50
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,599
You don't find that in most cases in baseball, especially

51
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,879
the lesser payroll teams. You take a look at Cleveland,

52
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,800
you look at what their lineup is versus the lefties

53
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,560
and righties. And I was going to speak about one

54
00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:48,680
of the teams today. I think they're in a slightly

55
00:02:48,719 --> 00:02:52,000
different situation because of the hand inness of the starting pitchers.

56
00:02:52,039 --> 00:02:55,840
So don't I don't agree with that. If you're Atlantic,

57
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:01,159
if you're your advanced stats got you there, continue to

58
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,280
use those to support your team.

59
00:03:05,479 --> 00:03:09,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, you should basically go with what got you here basically.

60
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,919
But you know, I mean, managers are going to do

61
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,919
what they're gonna do. Maybe some guys were injured, maybe

62
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,360
they need addressed. I don't know. Jazz did enter the

63
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,800
game later on. Uh, maybe he wanted to keep Jazz

64
00:03:22,879 --> 00:03:27,280
from committing five errors. Maybe who knows. Uh, So it

65
00:03:27,319 --> 00:03:28,800
could be it could be a number of things. But

66
00:03:30,199 --> 00:03:32,520
in any case, they lost the game, and it wasn't

67
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,719
because of their lineup. They lost the game because they

68
00:03:35,719 --> 00:03:39,159
had bases loaded with no outs and choked two times.

69
00:03:39,199 --> 00:03:42,240
That's why they lost the game. Uh. And they lost

70
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,879
the game because Nuke Weaver is a horrible pitcher, and

71
00:03:45,439 --> 00:03:48,520
basically that lost the game. Those two things lost the

72
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:53,240
game for them, plain and simple. I don't know why

73
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,879
he put Weaver in that situation. Weaver's been choking all season.

74
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,759
Williams has been choking all season. He played him too,

75
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,439
so so those were some questionable decisions in my opinion.

76
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,039
But uh yeah, I don't think the lineup is what

77
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,919
lost the game for them. Bases loaded with no outs,

78
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,759
that's unforgivable.

79
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: I would argue.

80
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,079
Speaker 2: I would also throw in the fact that Garat Crochet

81
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,560
was very, very good. I mean, you gotta, you gotta

82
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,600
just tip your cap. He pitched great, and that that

83
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,879
didn't help their cause, of course, took your brain and

84
00:04:24,399 --> 00:04:28,560
you allude, yeah he did, alluding to the eighties had

85
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,319
a golden opportunity at the end of that game and

86
00:04:30,319 --> 00:04:34,240
couldn't get it done. I don't know if I I'm

87
00:04:34,319 --> 00:04:37,240
kind of on the fence because on one hand, I

88
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,079
do think, like, yeah, if if a certain if you

89
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,480
did something one way for one hundred and sixty two games,

90
00:04:42,959 --> 00:04:44,839
do you want to go a different way in the playoffs?

91
00:04:44,959 --> 00:04:47,360
The second thing is, though, do you leave a guy

92
00:04:47,399 --> 00:04:49,079
like Ben Rice on the bench when he's got an

93
00:04:49,079 --> 00:04:51,920
eight thirty six ops? And that's ultimately what kept me

94
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,040
off of the making a Yankees a client play yesterday.

95
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 1: I'm in a group, you know, if if.

96
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 2: You watch end Zone Live on Sundays where we joke

97
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,279
around during the football games and hang out, I'm in

98
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,040
a group chat with a bunch of Giants fans are

99
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,000
also diehard Yankees fans that watch one hundred and sixty

100
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,480
two Yankee games a year. Those are my college buddies.

101
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,199
They're all from the city. They all go to a

102
00:05:10,199 --> 00:05:12,360
lot of Yankee games. And as soon as they started

103
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,920
complaining about the lineup, no Ben Rice and stuff like that,

104
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,319
I was like, that is an interesting It's just an

105
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,639
interesting conversation. I don't think there's a right answer or

106
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,040
wrong answer, but I just do think it's an interesting

107
00:05:23,079 --> 00:05:25,199
way to kick off the show and sort of drive

108
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,519
the point home, like listen, like this is a we're

109
00:05:27,519 --> 00:05:29,759
here to try to make good bets, and this is

110
00:05:29,759 --> 00:05:32,720
a sports betting show, and I don't think. I think

111
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,720
the point that you really have to handicap the manager

112
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,720
in the playoffs is just very very important. Let's go

113
00:05:40,759 --> 00:05:44,199
to our first game today, Brian Leonard, yesterday, or really

114
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,160
all all through the last few weeks, I've kind of

115
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,639
gone into the playoffs saying I don't want to really

116
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,920
bet against aj Hinch in the playoffs. He's a guy

117
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,399
I really like how he manages games, and I think

118
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,160
if I'm raiding out managers in terms of guys I

119
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,360
want to bet on, he's up there. He may have

120
00:06:01,399 --> 00:06:03,439
won the Tigers that game yesterday. I thought it was

121
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,040
a great decision to bunt in that one run game,

122
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,480
one one game to get the second run in, and

123
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,439
I really liked how I felt like he let Scoogle

124
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,279
go the exact amount he should have went to his bullpen. Now,

125
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,639
you could say that the Guardians squadded an opportunity in

126
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,800
the ninth, but you could also say the Tigers did

127
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,759
as well. I mean, the Tigers could have easily blown

128
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,639
that game open top nine, and they didn't He's a

129
00:06:25,639 --> 00:06:29,120
guy that I like to back in the playoffs. The

130
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,360
Tigers get the win yesterday, Guardians now up against it.

131
00:06:32,399 --> 00:06:35,360
That's the great thing about these wild card series once. Yeah,

132
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,959
I mean, you go from popping bottles. You're in the playoffs.

133
00:06:38,199 --> 00:06:41,240
Everyone's celebrating one loss, and now you need back to

134
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,519
that elimination wins to get to the second round. That's

135
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,480
where the Guardians are at. Do they give us a

136
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,199
game three or do you think the Tigers get it

137
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:48,759
done today?

138
00:06:49,519 --> 00:06:52,079
Speaker 3: First of all, I blame the Yankees lost on the

139
00:06:52,079 --> 00:06:55,920
third base coach. They're down by two runs. They stopped

140
00:06:55,959 --> 00:06:59,079
the guy. The entertainer's not going to throw the ball

141
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,720
to the play meant nothing. He gets he gets that

142
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,439
run and it's a totally different ballgame. And he didn't

143
00:07:06,439 --> 00:07:08,920
invests the runners twice in a row. And I thought

144
00:07:08,959 --> 00:07:11,240
that was a mistake. But I'm not there. They're getting

145
00:07:11,279 --> 00:07:14,160
paid for the job that they're doing. We're getting paid

146
00:07:14,439 --> 00:07:15,279
for what we do.

147
00:07:16,839 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

148
00:07:17,079 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 3: When I take a look at the Cleveland game here

149
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:25,240
and the under for Detroit won for our parlay my

150
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,399
parlay piece, Unfortunately, I had Cleveland plus one forty four

151
00:07:28,639 --> 00:07:33,680
for my clients could have gone either way, but Detroit

152
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:38,920
does have the better manager. I agree, and I do

153
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,000
want to point out that lately, since this has been

154
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,240
going on, the team that wins the first game tends

155
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:50,360
to sweep the series. So we've got some interesting numbers

156
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,240
here if you believe into that theory. But we've got

157
00:07:53,439 --> 00:07:58,600
Casey MII is going today up against Tanner Bobby. Bobby's

158
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,199
about a one to twenty five on twenty six seven,

159
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,680
maybe favorite six and a half to the total. H

160
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:10,600
slightly over in that regard. Miss have been a guy

161
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,160
all season long that you know. He comes in with

162
00:08:13,199 --> 00:08:16,199
a thirteen or forgive me fourteen a six record, but

163
00:08:16,639 --> 00:08:20,639
his numbers are somewhat pedestrian three point eighty seven ERA

164
00:08:21,279 --> 00:08:24,319
three point six nine expected one point two seven whip,

165
00:08:24,839 --> 00:08:27,360
very good in the walk rate, very good with his extension.

166
00:08:27,399 --> 00:08:31,360
He's six to three, but his walk rate is very good,

167
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,240
and that's pretty important going against the Cleveland team who

168
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,759
does take a lot of pitches, or the Cleveland side

169
00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:41,039
Tander Biby, who's pitching much better now than he had

170
00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:43,399
earlier in the season. He's only twelve and eleven on

171
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,600
the year, four point two to four e RA three

172
00:08:45,639 --> 00:08:48,039
point six four expected, so he said a little bit

173
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,759
of bad luck. One point two to three whip and

174
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,000
for the most part he's slightly better than an average

175
00:08:54,039 --> 00:08:57,960
Pitcher's chase rate is only in the sixteenth percentile, and

176
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,200
that's hurt him all year. He can't get some to

177
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:05,080
swing out of the swing for the worst pitches out

178
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,600
of the strike zones, but he does throw six different pitches.

179
00:09:07,639 --> 00:09:11,320
So from a pitching standpoint, I give Cleveland a very

180
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,799
slight edge. I obviously give them the home advantage here

181
00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:19,960
and which puts it where it should be, probably in

182
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,879
about the one thirty range or so. So I'm not

183
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:27,399
seeing enough to get involved in this one. I tried

184
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,399
to look at the Detroit team total under again. There's

185
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,080
one three and a half out there right now, but

186
00:09:32,159 --> 00:09:34,279
all the rest are two and a halfs. I'm not

187
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,080
going to play under two and a half, even though

188
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,279
it's plus money. These runs mean so much more when

189
00:09:40,279 --> 00:09:42,399
the line is only six and a half in the totals.

190
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,519
So I'll probably be setting this one out rooting for

191
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,600
my home team, Guardians, Indians, whatever you want to call him.

192
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,840
But it should be a pretty good game. We'll see

193
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,200
how it goes. Very similar to yesterday, I would think.

194
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,879
Speaker 4: So, guys, go to ways to Talk Doc and see

195
00:10:00,879 --> 00:10:03,440
what we have up. Most of our campers put free

196
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,399
plays up almost every day. Go to waygertalk dot com

197
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,519
and click the free play page. I have one up

198
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,120
right now, and I also have a Major League Baseball

199
00:10:13,159 --> 00:10:16,559
play up as well. Listen to the show closely and

200
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,519
you'll probably figure out what game I have out so

201
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,320
you won't have to buy my play. So regarding this game, look,

202
00:10:25,759 --> 00:10:30,720
I think the Guardians can probably even up the series today.

203
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,240
And I say that because they have the much better

204
00:10:34,279 --> 00:10:36,879
bullpen in my opinion, and they also have the much

205
00:10:36,919 --> 00:10:39,360
better starter. They have the better starter with the better

206
00:10:40,279 --> 00:10:43,840
head to head matchups. I have the lineups. You know,

207
00:10:43,919 --> 00:10:47,480
I got Cleveland a slight advantage in lineup, but I

208
00:10:47,519 --> 00:10:51,799
think it's I think it's comparable. It's it's a negligible,

209
00:10:52,799 --> 00:10:55,879
it's a negligible difference. But I don't think the bullpen

210
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,559
is a negligible difference. I think Cleveland. Cleveland has a

211
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,080
huge advantage here, and I like Tanner Byby's numbers against

212
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,559
these batters in his history. Uh, Casey Mice has let

213
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,000
me down quite a few times this season, and I

214
00:11:08,039 --> 00:11:12,360
have a feeling this season or this game, he's he's

215
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,799
in for letdown as well. I just feel like Cleveland's

216
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,360
gonna even this up tonight. I like Biby, I like

217
00:11:20,399 --> 00:11:22,600
the bullpen, and I like the Guardian. As a matter

218
00:11:22,639 --> 00:11:25,000
of fact, I'm gonna make that my parlay leg. I'm

219
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,360
just gonna get out of the way. Now, give me,

220
00:11:27,519 --> 00:11:30,440
give me, give me the Cleveland team. I'm not gonna

221
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,080
say they're their name because it's such a stupid name.

222
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,759
Give me the Cleveland team on the money line for

223
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:43,279
my parlay leg. The Washington football team and the Cleveland

224
00:11:43,279 --> 00:11:45,639
baseball team are two names that I refuse to say

225
00:11:45,639 --> 00:11:46,679
because they're so dumb.

226
00:11:48,519 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: What do you have for Brian? What do you have

227
00:11:50,639 --> 00:11:55,360
for a line Guardian? That's what I'm seeing as well,

228
00:11:56,799 --> 00:11:58,720
So I'll I just want to speak.

229
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:03,759
Speaker 2: To Brian pointed out, and I think Ralph Michael sent

230
00:12:03,879 --> 00:12:06,120
us a good trend. I think you already brought up

231
00:12:06,159 --> 00:12:09,440
the it's like home teams that lose the first game.

232
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:10,919
Speaker 1: Do you have that in front of you by any

233
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,440
chance I can find it?

234
00:12:12,879 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 3: If it should be a slack, I believe yeah.

235
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 2: So it's essentially and I'm not a trends guy. I'm

236
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,399
not a trend guy at all. But so what he's

237
00:12:22,399 --> 00:12:24,559
saying is since twenty twenty. So twenty twenty is when

238
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,360
we went to these well the twenty twenty playoffs were

239
00:12:27,399 --> 00:12:29,879
a whole different thing, But after that is when we

240
00:12:29,919 --> 00:12:33,720
went to these like wildcard series type things, which is

241
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,919
where you're playing like the best two of three Wildcard

242
00:12:36,919 --> 00:12:40,039
teams that lose game one at home are four and

243
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,320
eight straight up, and they're zero and four of the

244
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,120
last two years. And then wildcat wildcard teams off of

245
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,879
a loss at home, which means I think you could

246
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,960
it could mean that would be losing game two could

247
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,399
also count in that scenario, are three and nine in

248
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,519
their last twelve games, all playoffs, All all teams off

249
00:13:01,519 --> 00:13:04,519
of a loss in home field that had home field

250
00:13:04,519 --> 00:13:07,519
in game one or eight and thirteen. I again, I

251
00:13:07,519 --> 00:13:09,879
could care less about trends, but I'm gonna I'm gonna

252
00:13:09,879 --> 00:13:12,440
talk about this one because I do think there's a

253
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,080
sort of way to quantify this a little bit.

254
00:13:15,519 --> 00:13:16,759
Speaker 1: And it goes back to what I was saying a

255
00:13:16,799 --> 00:13:17,240
minute ago.

256
00:13:17,639 --> 00:13:19,799
Speaker 2: You have you have a team that just played one

257
00:13:19,879 --> 00:13:23,120
hundred and sixty two games they won and they just

258
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,080
pop bottles, right, they celebrated. We got the goggles out, Brian.

259
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,440
We're spraying champagne all over the locker room. Uh, we're

260
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:34,600
having a great time. And within all a take, within

261
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,600
nine innings of baseball, you went from we're the champs

262
00:13:39,039 --> 00:13:42,080
to we are now one loss away from our season

263
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,679
being overs. And that's something you used to not really

264
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,799
see in the playoffs, like even those old, the old playoffs,

265
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,320
with a three out of five you still had it

266
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,720
was like two games, Okay, you're down. Oh two, Well,

267
00:13:53,759 --> 00:13:55,559
you're gonna get a day to take a breath. You're

268
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,440
gonna get to go back home to play on your

269
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,919
home field. It was just a it was still more

270
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:01,879
like a playoffs tight vibe.

271
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:02,759
Speaker 1: Now.

272
00:14:02,799 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 2: I mean, if you lost yesterday and you're and you

273
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:06,679
don't win today, it's done.

274
00:14:06,799 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: I mean you don't even have a chance to you know,

275
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,600
take a breath. It's over.

276
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,279
Speaker 2: And I think that's why some of these teams that, like,

277
00:14:14,879 --> 00:14:18,360
especially the home team that has the shock of losing

278
00:14:18,399 --> 00:14:21,240
Game one, turns around and can't and and and ends

279
00:14:21,279 --> 00:14:23,159
up losing the next day. I think it's I think

280
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,879
it's because of because of that, Because if you're a

281
00:14:25,879 --> 00:14:28,120
team like the Guardians yesterday. I mean, even in the

282
00:14:28,159 --> 00:14:31,000
ninth inning, you're still feeling pretty good about yourself. I

283
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,080
don't know that the Guardians ever thought that they were

284
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,360
going to lose that game until they actually did. They're

285
00:14:35,399 --> 00:14:37,240
in the ninth they got a man on third, no outs,

286
00:14:37,279 --> 00:14:38,519
they're places rocket.

287
00:14:38,519 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: They probably think they're at least going to tie the game.

288
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,879
Speaker 2: I think that's what makes it hard for these teams

289
00:14:44,879 --> 00:14:48,120
that lose game one to to to sort of come

290
00:14:48,159 --> 00:14:50,759
back in game two. There's no there's no rest, there's

291
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,600
no home field switch. You're back out there the next day,

292
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,200
and suddenly if you are, if you don't win, you're

293
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:56,679
out of here.

294
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: You're going home.

295
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,159
Speaker 2: I think you see those teams play tight sometimes, so

296
00:15:00,879 --> 00:15:02,399
this is one where I do.

297
00:15:02,519 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: I am kind of keeping that in mind.

298
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,159
Speaker 2: I think for that reason as far as this matchup

299
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,080
is concerned, you mean to tell me that yesterday's total

300
00:15:10,159 --> 00:15:14,519
was six with schoobl and Gavin Williams both just dealing,

301
00:15:14,879 --> 00:15:17,399
and today at six and a half with these two.

302
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,159
I mean, I listen, I get that, like, you don't

303
00:15:21,159 --> 00:15:23,679
have great off you know, you could argue that neither

304
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:28,840
offense is stellar, but Schoogle was great yesterday. Gavin Williams

305
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,519
had his good stuff. We talked about it on the show.

306
00:15:30,519 --> 00:15:33,600
And Gavin Williams is good. He can throw up zeros

307
00:15:33,639 --> 00:15:36,360
just like Threek Schooble can. I don't think Maze or

308
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:40,080
Biby is good. Is someone that just you can sort

309
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,440
of bank on throwing up zero. So for that reason

310
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,600
I like the over here six and a half is

311
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,519
you can't tell me that that shouldn't be more of

312
00:15:47,559 --> 00:15:50,639
a even with the two to one final yesterday, there

313
00:15:50,679 --> 00:15:54,039
should be more of an adjustment from Williams Schooble to

314
00:15:54,639 --> 00:15:57,360
Mize Boby in my opinion, So I've got that total

315
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,720
off about about a run, So I'll I like over

316
00:16:00,759 --> 00:16:02,519
six and a half in this game. Sorry, Brian, were

317
00:16:02,519 --> 00:16:03,360
you gonna follow?

318
00:16:03,399 --> 00:16:04,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just I just wanted to point out you

319
00:16:04,799 --> 00:16:08,120
talked about the Cleveland celebration. Cleveland celebrated twice. They celebrated

320
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,320
when they made the playoffs, and they celebrated when they

321
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:15,440
won the division. So lots of celebrating in Cleveland, which

322
00:16:15,759 --> 00:16:20,840
unfortunately doesn't happen very often. That's a team that lacks

323
00:16:20,919 --> 00:16:25,080
championships in a lot of sports. But yeah, I understand that,

324
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:29,720
and I was thinking something too very similar regarding the

325
00:16:29,759 --> 00:16:33,440
total in this because yeahs Baby aren't as good, but

326
00:16:33,879 --> 00:16:37,240
you did use a lot of key pitchers in the

327
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,240
Cleveland bullpen yesterday, and it will be the second of

328
00:16:40,279 --> 00:16:42,240
their back to back. Well, if it is the second

329
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,399
of their back to back, it would likely not be

330
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,799
as strong, So that would be another reason to someone

331
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,720
like the over here. But as I had mentioned yes

332
00:16:52,799 --> 00:16:56,480
on yesterday's show, you go back to last few years

333
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:01,279
on this first round you're seeing and you're seeing final

334
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,720
scores of five, six, and seven a lot. So if

335
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,440
it was seven, I wouldn't want any part of it.

336
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,240
But six and a half I can slightly agree with

337
00:17:11,279 --> 00:17:11,640
you there.

338
00:17:13,079 --> 00:17:14,599
Speaker 2: I mean six and a half in a lot of

339
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,440
cases is six. You got a tight game, three three,

340
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,680
and it's a win. So yeah, I think I think

341
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,599
that that's uh. I just think that that's not a

342
00:17:23,599 --> 00:17:25,920
big enough adjustment for the pitchers, and I think too

343
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,319
much of it is putting stock into how yester game.

344
00:17:29,519 --> 00:17:32,880
Yesterday's game played out, which is an outlier when you

345
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,200
have School striking out everyone, and you know what, do

346
00:17:36,279 --> 00:17:39,960
you have fourteen K's fifteen strikeouts? He was great and

347
00:17:40,039 --> 00:17:42,480
Gavin Williams was great. I don't think that'll get talked

348
00:17:42,759 --> 00:17:43,359
about enough.

349
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,799
Speaker 1: He was. He was really good yesterday as well well.

350
00:17:45,839 --> 00:17:47,759
Speaker 3: Both the runs weren't unearned runs.

351
00:17:49,319 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you talk about like what like the fine

352
00:17:51,799 --> 00:17:52,680
line in these games.

353
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,079
Speaker 2: I mean, but Jakenzi Noel keeps his bag on the

354
00:17:56,079 --> 00:17:58,559
bag at first, and it's it could be a totally

355
00:17:58,599 --> 00:18:02,119
different game. So it's it's it's a very interesting dynamic.

356
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:07,839
These wild card series are just it's it's like nothing.

357
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,799
We never saw these prior other than we had a

358
00:18:10,839 --> 00:18:14,400
one game playoff for a little while, and they're just

359
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,400
it's I think it's just like a totally different handicap

360
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,960
than you're gonna find the rest of the playoffs once

361
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,640
we get into okay, two games here, day off. Now

362
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,519
we're going back to your place day off. Like, it's

363
00:18:25,599 --> 00:18:29,559
just a very different handicap, and we've got four where

364
00:18:29,559 --> 00:18:32,119
it's gonna permeate into all four of these games that

365
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,400
we're talking about, because there are four teams that are

366
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,559
now in the spot of we're going to the playoffs

367
00:18:38,599 --> 00:18:41,119
and then twenty four hours later, okay, now we lose

368
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,279
in our seasons over and the Padres are in that

369
00:18:43,319 --> 00:18:45,799
spot today, we're going to the playoffs. We take an

370
00:18:46,039 --> 00:18:48,799
we take an early lead, we're up one nothing, A

371
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,119
couple home runs later, and suddenly we are nine names

372
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:53,480
away from the season being over.

373
00:18:54,079 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 1: So back to you, Brian Leonard Wrigley Field.

374
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 2: Today, it looks like the Cubs are going to open

375
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,880
the game with Andrew Kiddteridge and then and then go out.

376
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,599
I swear this is the counter to not having Kate Horton,

377
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,720
who's was a tough injury for them. The Padres are

378
00:19:07,759 --> 00:19:10,359
Dylan Cees who's been been hit or missed, but we

379
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,319
know when he's on he can be pretty good. How

380
00:19:12,319 --> 00:19:14,599
are you approaching Cubs Padres this afternoon?

381
00:19:15,079 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, see Kittrich Kitchrick's about a maybe a one thirteen

382
00:19:20,279 --> 00:19:22,559
favorite right now, total six and a half to the

383
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:28,240
over twenty or so. I'm not a huge believer in

384
00:19:28,279 --> 00:19:34,720
this Padres team, and I haven't been all year. They've

385
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,319
they just don't have They've got pretty good hitters, but

386
00:19:39,319 --> 00:19:41,680
they don't have much depth on the bench. In fact,

387
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:46,559
they bought Caprisano and Maldonado back up from Triple A

388
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:51,319
and they are two backup catchers for Freddy. For me,

389
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,839
I don't know why you need two backup catchers at

390
00:19:53,839 --> 00:19:57,160
this point, But neither one of them are very good hitters.

391
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:01,319
Waltonato is a terrible hitter, and you got a Glaciers,

392
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,039
who I like him, is an all around good player,

393
00:20:03,079 --> 00:20:04,640
but is he really somebody want to have in the

394
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:08,720
lineup all the time. And mccolly and Johnson, so they

395
00:20:08,759 --> 00:20:11,240
really don't have that ability to bring in guys from

396
00:20:11,319 --> 00:20:13,200
the bench that are going to help them later on

397
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,359
in the game, and I think that hurts in the

398
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:20,200
lefty righty situation when I'm looking at this game. We

399
00:20:20,279 --> 00:20:22,720
take a look at Dylan Dylan Cease and as I

400
00:20:22,839 --> 00:20:26,279
mentioned many times, I really was expecting a good year

401
00:20:26,279 --> 00:20:27,880
from him. He had a three point four to seven

402
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,599
ERA last year, one point seven whip this season, back

403
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,960
to the four point five to five, one point three

404
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,079
to three whip. And if you take a look at

405
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,559
SACas Page, he's better than a Lee average, but he's

406
00:20:39,559 --> 00:20:41,480
not much better than the average, and that's not what

407
00:20:41,519 --> 00:20:45,119
they paid for. When you're looking for Dylan Cees, you

408
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:49,000
need something a little bit better in that regard. And

409
00:20:49,039 --> 00:20:50,839
then we take a look at the Cubs. You know,

410
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,400
the Cubs I mentioned yesterday, they're getting some of their

411
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:57,079
hitters back, and they've that's been their best part of

412
00:20:57,079 --> 00:20:59,079
their team early on in the season. You take a

413
00:20:59,079 --> 00:21:03,000
look right now, last seven days, Michael Bush is the

414
00:21:03,039 --> 00:21:06,400
third best hitter in baseball, Suzuki is the second best hitter,

415
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:08,519
and they've got three other guys that are in the

416
00:21:08,519 --> 00:21:10,640
top one hundred. So it's a team that's hitting very

417
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,759
well right now. And I have the ability to hit well.

418
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,200
They got Boyd out of there, and like I said,

419
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,279
I don't think he'd go more than five innings. Didn't

420
00:21:18,279 --> 00:21:21,519
even get to that point yesterday. They are going with

421
00:21:21,599 --> 00:21:23,079
kid Rich and they are going to make it a

422
00:21:23,559 --> 00:21:27,680
bullpen game, but they do. This is the Imanaga spot

423
00:21:27,759 --> 00:21:31,240
in the rotation. If they get to the point where

424
00:21:31,279 --> 00:21:33,839
they need innings, they can bring him in. So they

425
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,759
gets a pretty good setup for them today. And what

426
00:21:36,799 --> 00:21:40,319
I like about the Cubs is they've got three lefties

427
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,039
in the bullpen, even Aga if he comes out, there's

428
00:21:43,079 --> 00:21:44,400
the four. So they' can do a lot of mitch

429
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,640
mixing in matching here. And as I mentioned yesterday, they

430
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,200
do have a lot of veterans on this team. Now.

431
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,440
They did use force for relievers yesterday. All throw ten

432
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,359
pitchers or more ten to twenty, but they had the

433
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,440
previous two off, so I don't think that's gonna make

434
00:22:01,519 --> 00:22:04,559
much of a difference. I am going to use the

435
00:22:04,599 --> 00:22:08,000
Cubs as my part of the parlay here, unlike a

436
00:22:08,039 --> 00:22:11,680
lot of the others or the team that lost is uh,

437
00:22:12,839 --> 00:22:17,200
you're you're, you're laying a little bit more because of

438
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,920
the need to win. You know, We're getting the Cubs here,

439
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,440
who I think there's a slightly better team playing at home,

440
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,400
and they're going against kit going against Cease, who struggled

441
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,960
all year. So I'm gonna go with kit Ridge and

442
00:22:29,079 --> 00:22:32,119
the Cubs here. And like I said that, the line

443
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:36,039
on here is Man minus one thirteen or so one fourteen.

444
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,400
Let's go with one fourteen is the Cubs on this

445
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,480
with kit Ridge against Cese. And they will use kid

446
00:22:42,599 --> 00:22:45,039
Ridge as already against the top of that lineup, So

447
00:22:45,599 --> 00:22:47,599
he may go two innings, he may only go one,

448
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,799
but that's one less time somebody else has to go

449
00:22:50,799 --> 00:22:54,319
go against them, and they see somebody different every single inning.

450
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:55,880
I think that's an advantage for the Cubs.

451
00:22:58,119 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 4: Is I'm going to go on a rant here, but

452
00:22:59,759 --> 00:23:02,119
before that's where I do that I need to mention

453
00:23:02,319 --> 00:23:05,680
that wager Talk allows us now that football has started

454
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,440
to sell our MLB plays at nine dollars, so it's

455
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:13,440
a great value. They used to be fifteen for a

456
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,599
two percent, twenty five dollars for three or four percent,

457
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,440
and now you can get that all for nine dollars

458
00:23:19,559 --> 00:23:23,519
except for five percent plays. So go to wagertalk dot

459
00:23:23,559 --> 00:23:26,000
com and see what we have. My MLB play up

460
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,799
today is already there, and I have a free play

461
00:23:29,839 --> 00:23:32,440
up as well. I'm sure these gentlemen will be doing

462
00:23:32,559 --> 00:23:37,119
a similar my ramp. When I used to be a scout,

463
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,079
I had a statistic that I love to keep track of.

464
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:44,079
I called it. I called it the Woosy Index. Are

465
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:45,839
you a woosy or are you a man? But I

466
00:23:45,839 --> 00:23:48,680
didn't say woosy I used. I used a P instead

467
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,359
of a W. But are you a man? Or are

468
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:56,200
you a woosy? With a P? So that's that's statistic

469
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,599
that I took. That that I kept track of was

470
00:23:59,559 --> 00:24:02,319
what is percentage of knocking a run in when there's

471
00:24:02,319 --> 00:24:04,920
a guy on third base and less than two outs?

472
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,160
That really shows if you're a good baseball player or not.

473
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,519
You have to have intelligence. You have to read the game.

474
00:24:12,599 --> 00:24:15,359
You have to know there's twelve ways to score in

475
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,920
that situation. Twelve ways to score, and you have a

476
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,359
seventy three percent chance of scoring in that situation. If

477
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,079
you cannot score in that situation at least seventy percent

478
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,680
of the time three out of four, you are a

479
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,319
woosie with a P. You are not a man. And

480
00:24:30,319 --> 00:24:33,559
the Padres had that situation in the first five innings

481
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,920
three times and failed to score. That shows me that

482
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,440
they are not good baseball players, and they are stupid

483
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,559
baseball players. It's like an MMA fighter. You can go

484
00:24:44,599 --> 00:24:46,880
out there, you can have all of the talent and

485
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,000
the skill, but if you just swing like that with

486
00:24:50,079 --> 00:24:53,240
no strategy, you're gonna lose. Like brock Lesner. You know

487
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,039
he's tough, he's huge, but he's not a champion. This

488
00:24:57,079 --> 00:24:59,480
is the Padres, this is where we're at. They play

489
00:24:59,519 --> 00:25:02,599
stupid b baseball. They're uber talented, but they play stupid

490
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:07,160
baseball and it just annoys me. The Yankees were woosies

491
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,880
with a P yesterday too. Bases loaded with no outs.

492
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,000
You can't do that. You cannot do that. All you

493
00:25:13,519 --> 00:25:16,599
is ground out and you get a run. You just

494
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:21,000
can't do that. Cubs had one situation and they scored

495
00:25:21,039 --> 00:25:24,279
in that situation. So that was smart baseball by the

496
00:25:24,279 --> 00:25:26,920
Cubs and stupid baseball by the Padres, and that's why

497
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,839
they lost the game. End of ran. Regarding this one,

498
00:25:31,559 --> 00:25:35,960
Dylan Cease, look at his numbers against these batters, man

499
00:25:36,039 --> 00:25:39,119
ninety eight at bats against and a one ninety four

500
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,720
average with a five ninety five ohps. This is some

501
00:25:41,759 --> 00:25:44,759
good stuff here. I'm expecting a low scoring game in

502
00:25:44,799 --> 00:25:49,480
this one because that Cub's bullpen was lights out yesterday.

503
00:25:49,559 --> 00:25:54,039
They were awesome. I don't expect a lot of runs here.

504
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,200
I don't know if the Padres can win it, but

505
00:25:57,319 --> 00:25:59,559
I do think Ceese can hold the Cubs down for

506
00:25:59,599 --> 00:26:03,440
at least five innings here, and the Padres bullpen's pretty good,

507
00:26:03,599 --> 00:26:05,640
so I would look for an under in this game

508
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:13,039
if anything. So Ramp finished and uh cap finished.

509
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 2: That was That was as good as it gets from.

510
00:26:17,039 --> 00:26:20,559
That was an elite promo breakdown. Like Johnny Detroit has

511
00:26:20,559 --> 00:26:22,920
got to be thrilled about that right now, because you

512
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,400
got the promo in, you got something that you can

513
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,960
easily clip and throw up on different social media's, and

514
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,039
then you gave a nice, nice quick breakdown of the game.

515
00:26:31,079 --> 00:26:33,200
Steve Duke says, w'osie with a P is his new

516
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,200
garage band name, which is also ter So that was

517
00:26:36,599 --> 00:26:39,960
that was great as far as this game is concerned.

518
00:26:40,039 --> 00:26:42,039
I mean, so here, here's like the thing we've kind

519
00:26:42,039 --> 00:26:47,200
of talked about Dylan Cees this year. He he I

520
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,759
think Dylan sees a little bit of a headcase. I

521
00:26:49,799 --> 00:26:54,200
feel like he's very hot cold. You know, you look

522
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,240
at his stat cast page. It kind of there's a

523
00:26:57,279 --> 00:27:00,960
lot to like. But then he had he has his

524
00:27:01,039 --> 00:27:03,839
moments where it kind of goes off the rails a

525
00:27:03,839 --> 00:27:05,920
little bit. He puts a couple of guys on. I

526
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,799
think he starts to overthink things. He starts to now

527
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:10,799
I don't know why. He just doesn't trust his stuff,

528
00:27:10,839 --> 00:27:12,640
which can be very good. Like I think he gets

529
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,440
in his own head more than any maybe more than

530
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,119
any other pitcher in Major League Baseball. Like this dude

531
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,799
is in there. He's thinking way too much. If he

532
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,640
just throws. I mean, he's got good stuff. You look

533
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,279
at him, he's got six you know, he's got four

534
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,400
or five pitches, throws a lot of you know, fastball slider,

535
00:27:31,039 --> 00:27:34,559
his fastball slider on its own is good enough where

536
00:27:34,559 --> 00:27:37,039
if he's just out there throwing it, guys are gonna

537
00:27:37,079 --> 00:27:39,839
have a hard time with it. It's got good movement, he

538
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,960
gets swing and miss. His strikeout rate is top ten

539
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,279
percent in the league. But he will go on these

540
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,200
stretches where he can't throw strikes, or he or he

541
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,960
goes maybe he'll throw three balls. Then he throws one

542
00:27:52,039 --> 00:27:53,559
right over the middle, and then he gets in his

543
00:27:53,599 --> 00:27:55,599
own head. It's almost like you can see him out

544
00:27:55,599 --> 00:27:57,880
there kicking himself on the mount and then it turns

545
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,039
into a four run innings. It's been very frustrating to

546
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:02,799
watch them this year. I'm gonna go back to Brian

547
00:28:02,839 --> 00:28:04,960
Lenard for a second. What is our Wriggley Field weather

548
00:28:05,039 --> 00:28:08,000
report for today? Because the weather kept me off of

549
00:28:08,079 --> 00:28:10,880
the Cubbies yesterday, and in hindsight, I'm a little annoyed

550
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:11,200
about it.

551
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 1: What are we looking at for weather today?

552
00:28:13,279 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're looking at for the Dodgers. The runs are

553
00:28:17,039 --> 00:28:21,880
minus three percent for the Cleveland minus three percent. Wrigley

554
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,440
Field minus eleven percent is blowing right in again, and

555
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:30,920
the Yankees minus nineteen percent is blowing left to right.

556
00:28:31,039 --> 00:28:37,640
So yeah, all the games pitchers battles. Uh. The line

557
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,000
tells you that, and the wins are not going to

558
00:28:40,039 --> 00:28:40,759
help the situation.

559
00:28:42,119 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 2: You could have had industrial fans in the outfield in

560
00:28:45,279 --> 00:28:47,119
La last night, it wouldn't have mattered. But the other

561
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,960
three games all stayed all stayed under And honestly, like

562
00:28:51,039 --> 00:28:52,640
the part of the reason I couldn't get there with

563
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:57,400
the Cubs yesterday was because I knew the wind blowing

564
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,960
in and the park playing in that manner should help

565
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:05,519
Nick Pivett. It also should help Dylan Cease. So that's like, again,

566
00:29:05,599 --> 00:29:07,440
I'm not I'm not trying to say that your your

567
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,759
thought process isn't good with the Cubs, but that's that's

568
00:29:10,759 --> 00:29:13,559
a little bit annoying to me because this is a

569
00:29:13,599 --> 00:29:17,000
guy Cease that doesn't He doesn't he doesn't give up

570
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:18,039
a ton of ground balls either.

571
00:29:18,079 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 1: He's more of a fly ball pitcher.

572
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 2: And so if the wind was blowing out, I would

573
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,119
have really liked the Cubs to win yesterday.

574
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: If the wind was blowing out, I would really liked

575
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:27,440
them to win here.

576
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 2: But I do think the ballpark factors are are a

577
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,680
little bit helpful to San Diego and to Dylan Ceeze,

578
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:37,400
who likes to pitch, uh, you know, will give up

579
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:38,480
fly balls.

580
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 1: And gets a lot of swinging, like gets a lot

581
00:29:40,759 --> 00:29:41,400
of swing and miss.

582
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,559
Speaker 2: I really think that the wind blowing out would have

583
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,960
hurt him now and obviously doesn't.

584
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: So a very interesting game here.

585
00:29:47,839 --> 00:29:50,279
Speaker 2: I think the line is is and with most of

586
00:29:50,319 --> 00:29:53,279
these I don't think you're gonna find like line value

587
00:29:53,359 --> 00:29:55,400
if you're if you're just looking for line value, you're

588
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,359
not going to make many bets in postseason in my opinion,

589
00:29:58,559 --> 00:30:01,200
especially on the side. You can find good value on

590
00:30:01,279 --> 00:30:03,519
totals a lot of times, but the books kind of

591
00:30:03,599 --> 00:30:04,799
nail these these numbers.

592
00:30:04,799 --> 00:30:05,319
Speaker 1: On the side.

593
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 2: I think this is one where I think it's pretty

594
00:30:08,279 --> 00:30:11,880
much right on, and I think you could probably talk

595
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:15,119
yourself into either side to based on what your handicap

596
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,400
is and how confident you are in Dylan Cease. If

597
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,160
you think cas is going to show up, you got

598
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,039
to like the Padres if you think he's going to

599
00:30:21,039 --> 00:30:23,319
be the head case that he's been and get himself

600
00:30:23,319 --> 00:30:25,640
into trouble and suddenly the Wrigley Field crowd is on,

601
00:30:25,759 --> 00:30:27,400
and then you got to like the Cubs.

602
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: Interesting game, go ahead, Brian.

603
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just wanted to point out with Pavetta. You

604
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:33,799
only gave up three hits in the game. Two of

605
00:30:33,839 --> 00:30:35,960
them are home runs, and that's with the way I'm

606
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,119
blowing in. So yeah, those guys that are tendency to

607
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,119
give up the fly balls, you know, some of them

608
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,640
are still going to go out. But uh yeah, that's

609
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,359
one of the you know you talked about. You can

610
00:30:46,359 --> 00:30:48,119
go both way as well. That's why the line is

611
00:30:48,119 --> 00:30:50,720
in this general area. It is same as in the

612
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,039
Cleveland game. So you should be a lot of good

613
00:30:53,079 --> 00:30:56,440
ball games today.

614
00:30:57,599 --> 00:31:00,839
Speaker 1: We have another so to transition here the one game, well,

615
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:02,200
we have two games.

616
00:31:01,799 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 2: That are tight lines, two games where we're we've got

617
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,960
a perceived big favorite, and we're heading the Yankee Stadium

618
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:13,119
where Yeah, listen, I'm gonna double down on what I said.

619
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,480
I still believe what I said yesterday. I still think

620
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,720
that the Yankees, from a talent standpoint, have have more

621
00:31:19,759 --> 00:31:22,400
talent than just about anyone in the American League. Maybe

622
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,519
not the Mariners. But this is just a great sort

623
00:31:25,519 --> 00:31:28,799
of example of what this wild Card series is and

624
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,160
maybe why these teams really want to, you know, go

625
00:31:32,319 --> 00:31:35,079
hard to get that one or that two seed, because

626
00:31:35,279 --> 00:31:37,400
right now the Mariners don't have to worry about this.

627
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,039
They're home, they're hanging out, and they're gonna get a

628
00:31:40,079 --> 00:31:43,519
real playoff series where water may find its level a

629
00:31:43,559 --> 00:31:47,480
little bit. The Yankees yesterday Tokyo Brandon talked about, you know,

630
00:31:47,799 --> 00:31:49,759
not being able to come through with a guy on third,

631
00:31:49,799 --> 00:31:52,519
But the reality is they still had to face Garrett Crochet,

632
00:31:52,559 --> 00:31:55,400
who is great, Like they still had to go out and.

633
00:31:55,279 --> 00:31:56,319
Speaker 4: End they were winning.

634
00:31:57,119 --> 00:31:59,559
Speaker 2: They were winning, But I understand that, but like the

635
00:31:59,599 --> 00:32:03,200
point is, you still played yourself into a scenario because

636
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,119
they weren't one or two where they had to beat

637
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,960
a cy young caliber pitcher. And so even though you

638
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:10,440
could say, oh, well they should have got the run

639
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,400
home whatever, I mean, it's not exactly like a given

640
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,519
that you're just gonna like get runs home off or

641
00:32:15,519 --> 00:32:17,839
all the chatman who's throwing a hundred and then throwing

642
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,400
a splitter, it's like, yeah, I understand, he pitched himself

643
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,640
into a little trouble, but that's no guarantee. But the

644
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:28,319
point is, you now take yourself as the Yankees from Okay,

645
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,440
we're going to the playoffs nine names later, we're now

646
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:36,279
one game away from elimination. And to me, it's because like, hey,

647
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,880
like they still had to beat Geric Crochet and I

648
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:40,599
still don't think the Red Sox are a very good

649
00:32:40,599 --> 00:32:43,559
baseball team. I still think they missed Roman Anthony a Ton,

650
00:32:45,319 --> 00:32:47,400
but they were able to squeak out a close win

651
00:32:47,759 --> 00:32:50,720
behind one of the best pitchers in the game. Now

652
00:32:50,759 --> 00:32:53,160
we come to today and I'll go to Brian Leonard.

653
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,480
Does the pressure catch up with the Yankees? Or is

654
00:32:55,519 --> 00:32:57,839
this a much better spot for the Yankees now that

655
00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:59,759
they don't have to face one of the best pictures

656
00:32:59,759 --> 00:33:02,279
that made Juleigue baseball and also a right handed pitcher,

657
00:33:02,319 --> 00:33:04,920
which is going to allow them to probably put their

658
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:06,880
ultimate optimal line about here.

659
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 1: Yankees, Red Sox, how do you see this one?

660
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:13,559
Speaker 3: Yep? I agree Bello against BeO, excuse me against Rodin

661
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,680
the lefty. Once about it? One seventy five for the

662
00:33:16,799 --> 00:33:19,880
Yankees total seven and a half to the under or

663
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:21,799
he gets seven to the over, so it's seven and

664
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:26,759
a quarter. As our friend Steve Zik would say, I'm

665
00:33:26,799 --> 00:33:28,559
looking at this game and this is this is the

666
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:30,880
lineup that I'm pointing out. I wanted to point out

667
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:37,039
here when the Red Sox face the lefty, they have

668
00:33:37,119 --> 00:33:41,599
to take out of the lineup Yoshida, which is his

669
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:46,880
power aching on our roster resources three seventeen, Nathaniel lo

670
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,680
Low his is one thirteen and a bray You one

671
00:33:50,799 --> 00:33:54,359
forty eight and they replaced him with Nick Sagard four

672
00:33:54,519 --> 00:33:58,079
forty six. Nate Eaton comes over from Kansas City. He's

673
00:33:58,079 --> 00:34:02,279
never done nothing there, four thirty three, and Rob Ruthschneider,

674
00:34:02,319 --> 00:34:06,359
who I actually like, but he's ranked to ninety so

675
00:34:06,559 --> 00:34:11,599
the bolt the Boston lineup is much weaker when they

676
00:34:11,639 --> 00:34:13,760
face the right hand or as opposed to a lefty,

677
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:20,039
and Boston's going with obviously going with the BAO. And

678
00:34:20,079 --> 00:34:23,360
when he took a look at Bo's numbers three point

679
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,159
three five ERA, but is expected to ra four point

680
00:34:26,199 --> 00:34:29,519
four to two. He's been extremely lucky this year. And

681
00:34:30,079 --> 00:34:32,719
from his backcast page, his number, it's the only thing

682
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:36,079
he's really good at. Its ground ball rate eighty fourth percentile,

683
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,360
that's that's it. But his WIF rates only in the thirteenth,

684
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,960
his strikeout rates only in the sixteenth. Throws five pitches,

685
00:34:43,079 --> 00:34:44,920
and what I like is this four seeing they cut

686
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,519
back all the way to fifteen percent. That's what Boston

687
00:34:47,559 --> 00:34:48,920
has done. I think it's one of the reasons why

688
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,440
they're having so much success out of these young guys

689
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:55,400
they've been bringing up. But from Brian BeO is a

690
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:59,320
guy I usually want to go against, and I think

691
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,000
he's a little bit old, overrated. He didn't deserve that

692
00:35:02,039 --> 00:35:03,840
money they gave him, but hey, good for him. Good

693
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,079
for him and his him and his agent and his family.

694
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,679
Carlos rode on eighteen and nine on the season after

695
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,840
a sixteen and nine season last year three point oh

696
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,679
eight excuse me, three point ninety IRA, three point three

697
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,719
two expected one point oh five whip. He's really gotten

698
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:20,760
that whip down this year. It was one point two

699
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:22,280
to two last year, one point four to five the

700
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,639
year before. A lot of red on his stack cast page.

701
00:35:25,679 --> 00:35:28,239
He's better than a league average pitcher. Doesn't have the

702
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:32,039
great extension, and his walk rate is only twenty eighth percentile,

703
00:35:32,159 --> 00:35:35,239
but his whif right eighty four percentile strike out rate

704
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:39,639
seventy fourth. I like Carlos Rodan, and he does throw

705
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:44,039
five pitches, although this fort samer forty two percent of

706
00:35:44,079 --> 00:35:47,559
the time, which is about one mile an hour higher

707
00:35:47,599 --> 00:35:50,960
than normal left he's at ninety four point one. I

708
00:35:51,079 --> 00:35:53,440
like the Yankees in this game. I just don't want

709
00:35:53,519 --> 00:35:56,559
to lay that number. I need to find a different

710
00:35:56,599 --> 00:35:58,760
way to play it. Maybe, you know, take a look

711
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:02,320
at team totals here. You got bossed at three and

712
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,119
a half under forty five to forty eight. It's a

713
00:36:05,199 --> 00:36:09,000
little bit expensive in that regard, especially the way that

714
00:36:09,079 --> 00:36:14,360
Yankees bullpen is I'm sure TV will point out continues

715
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,079
to underperform with guys that have been All Stars in

716
00:36:17,119 --> 00:36:20,599
the past. Very strange season for them. But Roddan, the

717
00:36:20,679 --> 00:36:23,239
Yankees are three and a half to the over forty five.

718
00:36:23,639 --> 00:36:25,840
That's not a bad situation. As you mentioned, they're going

719
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:29,480
to have their optimum lineup out there. Maybe you play

720
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,719
the Yankees team total. If they score four runs, you've

721
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,880
got a winner. That may be something that has some

722
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,599
value to me. I'm leaning that way. That's the way

723
00:36:37,639 --> 00:36:38,920
I would play this at this point.

724
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,639
Speaker 4: Go to waysytalk dot com. Guys, our MLB plays are

725
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:47,880
nine dollars for the rest of the season. Great value.

726
00:36:48,079 --> 00:36:50,800
Rant number two and I'll make this one extremely short.

727
00:36:51,199 --> 00:36:56,039
TV stations, will you please please stop putting playoff stats

728
00:36:56,039 --> 00:36:59,679
for players up making me go online to see what

729
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,320
the guys batting average and ops is. I don't need

730
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,119
to see a point zero zero zero point zero zero

731
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,480
zero in Game one of the playoffs. Why do you

732
00:37:08,519 --> 00:37:11,800
put the playoff stats up? It's so stupid. It's game one.

733
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:15,079
Of course they're all batting zero. Stop it. It's done.

734
00:37:15,159 --> 00:37:20,119
Speaker 1: Valid, valid, right there, Yeah, yeah, valid rant.

735
00:37:20,199 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 4: Okay, back to the game. I've never been a big

736
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,639
believer in Rodin. I've never really liked him, but he

737
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:31,239
has certainly changed my mind this season. Man, he's performed

738
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:35,360
really really well all season. And he's never a guy

739
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,360
that I really liked that much. Brian Bao is Brian Bao.

740
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:43,840
He's not very good. He's okay, he's serviceable, but not great.

741
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:50,000
I think Carlos Rodon should be able to nail down

742
00:37:50,039 --> 00:37:53,119
these batters today, and a lot of people in the

743
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,840
chat and you guys are also mentioning it's a steep number.

744
00:37:57,119 --> 00:37:59,320
You know what. The Yankees minus one is only minus

745
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,480
one sixteen. It's not that bad. And if they win

746
00:38:02,079 --> 00:38:04,159
by one, you don't lose your money like like a

747
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,760
run line bet. So I think that's a pretty decent play.

748
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:12,280
But I like Rodin better than bo and I also

749
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:17,599
one bonus today is Nuke Weaver and Bin Laden Williams

750
00:38:17,599 --> 00:38:19,320
won't be in there to nuke the game for the

751
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:25,199
Yankees tonight. So you'll get the good bullpen guys tonight,

752
00:38:25,559 --> 00:38:29,039
so hopefully they can they can hammer it down. I

753
00:38:29,119 --> 00:38:30,280
like the Yankees in this one.

754
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,519
Speaker 1: Wow, yank Yankees minus one really only minus one sixteen.

755
00:38:34,559 --> 00:38:36,199
I agree with you that does that's a very good

756
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:37,519
bet it was when check.

757
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,079
Speaker 2: Even if it's minus one twenty minus one twenty something,

758
00:38:41,119 --> 00:38:44,320
that's that's probably a decent way to look. I think

759
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,360
the Yankees are going to blow this open at some point.

760
00:38:46,679 --> 00:38:50,119
I think that yesterday yesterday listen, like again, I'll go

761
00:38:50,199 --> 00:38:54,480
back to the fact, like Garrett Crochet elite left handed pitcher,

762
00:38:54,639 --> 00:38:56,639
that that's going to be tough for any team. So

763
00:38:57,039 --> 00:38:59,079
all the things I said about the series, all the

764
00:38:59,079 --> 00:39:02,599
things I said about the Red Sox being a team,

765
00:39:02,639 --> 00:39:05,599
I want to fade feeling like the Yankees were the

766
00:39:05,639 --> 00:39:08,480
far better team, a ton of talent, thinking that they're

767
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:12,199
the toughest out in the American League. I still believe

768
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,360
that it's just you have to accept the fact that

769
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:18,559
on any day that Garrett Crochet is on his team's

770
00:39:18,599 --> 00:39:20,880
gonna have a great chance to win. Any day Tariq's

771
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:23,239
Google is on his team's gonna have a great chance

772
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,039
to win. There's only a couple of guys in the

773
00:39:25,119 --> 00:39:28,519
league right now that are that Crochet is one of them.

774
00:39:28,559 --> 00:39:29,679
Speaker 1: Like it just it is what it is.

775
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 2: You can throw, you can pretty much Paul Skins right, Like,

776
00:39:33,039 --> 00:39:36,159
look at what Paul Skeens turns the Pirates into a

777
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:40,119
viable option anytime he steps on the mount. So I'm

778
00:39:40,119 --> 00:39:43,000
not really that worried about what the outcome of yesterday's

779
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:47,400
game was because it was Crochet throwing a gem. Hey ralla,

780
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:50,400
Chapman threw twenty four pitches. Like, even if it came

781
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,920
down to Chapman being in this game late, I think

782
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:54,719
the Yankees.

783
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: Could get to him.

784
00:39:55,039 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 2: They were very very close to getting him yesterday, and

785
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:01,039
those were a stressful twenty four I don't know that

786
00:40:01,079 --> 00:40:04,840
I would want Chapman back in here necessarily if I'm

787
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,800
the Red Sox. That was a stressful twenty four pitches

788
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,880
and he was very fortunate, you know, to get out

789
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,639
of that game. I also think that game being three

790
00:40:13,679 --> 00:40:16,440
to one makes it a totally different scenario because they're

791
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:19,880
probably pinch running. They're probably gonna score that run from

792
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:21,440
third base. If the game is two to one, the

793
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,920
only reason they didn't send him was because why even

794
00:40:24,039 --> 00:40:26,800
risk getting a guy that doesn't run all that well

795
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,840
thrown out at home. So again, I'm not scared of

796
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,159
the Red Sox bullpen here. If I'm the Yankees, I

797
00:40:32,159 --> 00:40:34,400
don't even think it comes to it. I fully expect

798
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,840
this Yankees lineup to get to Bayo. You're gonna have

799
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,920
a better lineup than you did yesterday. And he's a

800
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,679
far worse pitcher. He doesn't strike many guys out, he

801
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,519
doesn't get a ton of swing and miss, so I

802
00:40:47,599 --> 00:40:50,719
mean it would be like, yeah, the Brian Beayo sort

803
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,719
of path to victory, keep everything on the ground, get

804
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:55,920
some double play balls, you know, get out of the

805
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:57,000
inning in that fashion.

806
00:40:57,199 --> 00:40:58,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, could it happen. It could.

807
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,599
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that Red Sox can't win here. You know,

808
00:41:01,679 --> 00:41:04,400
there's no such thing as this is playoff baseball. If

809
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,000
the Red Sox come to play, they're gonna have just

810
00:41:06,039 --> 00:41:09,360
as good of a chance. But I'll be really surprised

811
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,719
if BeO holds down this Yankees offense on the On

812
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,599
the flip side, though, Radon could absolutely hold down the

813
00:41:15,599 --> 00:41:18,199
Red Sox offense, which again I'll go back to, the

814
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:21,280
fact is that just does not pack the same punch

815
00:41:21,639 --> 00:41:23,519
without Roman Anthony and yesterday.

816
00:41:23,559 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 1: I mean, really, what did they got a timely hit

817
00:41:26,039 --> 00:41:26,239
or two.

818
00:41:26,639 --> 00:41:28,599
Speaker 2: It's not like they put up big you know, it's

819
00:41:28,599 --> 00:41:30,760
not like they scored a bunch of runs. I'll be

820
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,239
surprised if the Socks score more than two or three today.

821
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,880
So if you do get that Yankees team total, or

822
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,360
you do get like one crooked number here for the Yankees,

823
00:41:38,639 --> 00:41:40,519
I think you're gonna be in business with the Yankees.

824
00:41:40,559 --> 00:41:42,599
And I also think because the Red Sox have the

825
00:41:42,679 --> 00:41:44,840
luxury of having the one game lead, that if they

826
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:48,480
fall behind, they're definitely saving Chapman and they're gonna set

827
00:41:48,519 --> 00:41:49,280
themselves up.

828
00:41:49,159 --> 00:41:49,719
Speaker 1: For Game three.

829
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 2: You will not see if it's a tie game, You're

830
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:53,920
not gonna see them burn Chapman here because it would

831
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,639
pretty much guarantee that they're not gonna be able to

832
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,840
use them in Game three. So could they go to Chapman,

833
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:01,920
maybe with a one run lead late, to try to

834
00:42:02,039 --> 00:42:03,840
end it? Yes, Do I think it's the end of

835
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,199
the world for the Yankees if that happens. No, Because

836
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:08,519
they were so close to getting him yesterday, I think

837
00:42:08,519 --> 00:42:11,679
they'd have confident at bats against him again here. So

838
00:42:12,079 --> 00:42:14,039
I do think this lines up nicely for the Yankees

839
00:42:14,079 --> 00:42:17,599
from a from a pick the winner standpoint today, To me,

840
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:21,440
this is the clearest cut one of the bunch and

841
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:24,320
TV that I think you pointed out a very good

842
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:26,800
That minus one bet is a little cheaper than.

843
00:42:26,679 --> 00:42:27,519
Speaker 1: I expected it to be.

844
00:42:27,679 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 2: So I'll put the money line in our parlay though,

845
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,159
because there's no reason to take the minus one and

846
00:42:32,199 --> 00:42:34,719
a three team, especially when you guys took.

847
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,159
Speaker 4: Let's just yeah, I mean, let's just let's just hope

848
00:42:37,159 --> 00:42:39,559
the Yankees keep it under four errors and they can

849
00:42:39,559 --> 00:42:41,360
probably probably pull this one out.

850
00:42:42,119 --> 00:42:43,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's a good point TV.

851
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,119
Speaker 2: If the Yankees lose this game, I strongly believe they

852
00:42:47,119 --> 00:42:50,599
probably beat themselves with an error like a like something.

853
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:56,039
Speaker 4: Just yeah, drop the ball a couple of times, VOLTI

854
00:42:56,119 --> 00:42:57,400
can drop it a couple of times.

855
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,360
Speaker 1: I don't even think they played that badly yesterday.

856
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 2: I really believe that was just an absolute dog like

857
00:43:04,039 --> 00:43:07,480
he's just that. He's just that dude right now, and

858
00:43:07,519 --> 00:43:10,840
he got big out after big out, so so credit

859
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:12,480
to him, credit to the Red Sox doesn't mean they're

860
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:14,559
gonna win the series, doesn't mean they're gonna win here.

861
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:16,320
Speaker 1: I like the Yankees, and that will be.

862
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:21,039
Speaker 4: Wasn't it Wasn't it so nice to have baseball from

863
00:43:21,079 --> 00:43:25,800
morning all the way to night. Wasn't that just nice?

864
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:27,519
Speaker 2: Are you trying to Are you trying to set up

865
00:43:27,559 --> 00:43:30,159
a trig rant here? Because I could I could do that.

866
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:30,800
I've been saying.

867
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:35,519
Speaker 4: No, I'm just saying, finally baseball programming got something right.

868
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:38,159
That was so cool not to have the games overlapping.

869
00:43:38,199 --> 00:43:38,800
It was awesome.

870
00:43:39,639 --> 00:43:43,800
Speaker 1: They should do that every Friday, every Friday. They should

871
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:44,239
be doing that.

872
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:46,159
Speaker 2: In my opinion, they should have like a like one

873
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:49,320
standalone day game, the happy Hour game, and then all

874
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:51,880
the all the night games. The Cubs give us that

875
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:56,000
by game day. Yeah, it should be a Friday. I

876
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:58,039
would like to see the league do it on Fridays.

877
00:43:58,159 --> 00:44:00,639
It doesn't hurt the teams, Like, yeah, you can listen.

878
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:02,599
You can play a day game as the first game

879
00:44:02,639 --> 00:44:05,199
of a three game weekend series a couple of times.

880
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:05,519
Speaker 1: It's not.

881
00:44:05,599 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 2: It's not gonna kill you, okay, And it's gonna give

882
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:10,599
us standalone baseball every Friday.

883
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:12,039
Speaker 1: I'll lobby for that.

884
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:15,119
Speaker 4: But it was like NFL Sunday esque. You know, you

885
00:44:15,159 --> 00:44:17,960
wake up in the morning, there's a game on. At night,

886
00:44:18,039 --> 00:44:19,920
before you go to bed, there's a game on. It's

887
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,960
It was just so nice. Although the night game wasn't

888
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,239
exactly but the Dodgers' bullpen made it interesting.

889
00:44:26,559 --> 00:44:30,119
Speaker 2: But as we knew that that'll that'll be the transition,

890
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,039
that's where we're going to close this out.

891
00:44:32,159 --> 00:44:35,199
Speaker 1: The night game again is what.

892
00:44:35,039 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 2: You would consider the most lopsided one on the board,

893
00:44:38,039 --> 00:44:41,320
Dodgers Reds. I think we nailed this game yesterday right

894
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:47,480
here in terms of you know, someone did point you

895
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,400
Hunter Green. We kind of talked about that, Russell dex

896
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:52,760
S as Adam, you were on point that the Dodgers

897
00:44:53,159 --> 00:44:55,800
game with the lineup squaring up Hunter Green's four steamer.

898
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,239
I think it goes back to something Brian Leonard has

899
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:00,800
said for a while. This team is they've been elite

900
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:03,400
all year, and now that it's now that it counts,

901
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:07,599
now that it matters, they're showing their their class a

902
00:45:07,639 --> 00:45:09,760
little bit. And I think that's what that was last

903
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:12,199
night as they blew out the Reds. So, Brian Leonard,

904
00:45:12,199 --> 00:45:14,760
do you want to kick us off Dodgers Reds? Does

905
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,519
this have any chance to go three games? Or do

906
00:45:17,599 --> 00:45:19,920
you do you see the Dodgers taking care of business tonight.

907
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 3: Before we get to that, and I agree, it was

908
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:24,880
a great day of baseball. Loved it. I do want

909
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:28,760
to point out that they've made a nice a nice

910
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,400
discount for people who are looking to get my hockey

911
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:35,000
in our baseball right now. The baseball season goes for

912
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,079
about one hundred and sixty nine dollars through the rest

913
00:45:37,119 --> 00:45:40,719
of the season. You also, the hockey season is normally

914
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:44,280
seven ninety nine, so you're playing, you know, close to

915
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:46,599
nine hundred dollars for the both of them. You can

916
00:45:46,599 --> 00:45:49,280
get it both for six ninety nine right now. Number

917
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:52,079
one in the history of wager talk in both Major

918
00:45:52,199 --> 00:45:55,519
League Baseball and net profit and NHL on net profit.

919
00:45:55,639 --> 00:45:57,840
Sign up for that now and get all of our

920
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,239
baseball through the World Series, all of our hockey through

921
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,840
the Stanley Cup, and get it all at a nice

922
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,920
saving six hundred and ninety nine dollars. And as I said,

923
00:46:06,039 --> 00:46:10,320
number one all time in NHL and Major League Baseball profit.

924
00:46:11,159 --> 00:46:13,679
It's a great deal. And the hockey season starts less

925
00:46:13,679 --> 00:46:16,400
than a week from now. The regular season is right

926
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:18,960
around the corner. Can't wait for that. And when we

927
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,519
get to this game. As you pointed out, this is

928
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:25,440
quite a large number here on the Dodgers, and you

929
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:28,679
can understand that Yamamoto going for the Dodgers, Lattel, for

930
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:33,079
some reason going for the Reds. We'll see what Tito

931
00:46:33,199 --> 00:46:35,519
got up his sleeve in that one. But I was

932
00:46:35,559 --> 00:46:40,239
surprised to not see Lodolo or Abbott on the schedule here.

933
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:43,280
But we'll see what happens. We're looking at basically a

934
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:47,119
two sixty favorite for the Dodgers and the total of eight.

935
00:46:48,039 --> 00:46:50,679
And when you look at the Cincinnati team right now,

936
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:54,679
it really is hard to understand how they can be

937
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:59,039
competitive here a ton of home runs given up yesterday

938
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:02,079
from a guy who even in Cincinnati had not given

939
00:47:02,159 --> 00:47:06,840
up many home runs. But we've got a situation with

940
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:10,800
the with the Reds right now, and let's look at

941
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:17,800
this from the standpoint of Baseball savant. We're looking at

942
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:22,800
excuse me, Lttel, who was came over from Tampa Bay

943
00:47:23,039 --> 00:47:25,920
the Reds wanted him, does have a lot of flyballs.

944
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:28,199
This ground ball percentage is only a forty third percentile,

945
00:47:28,559 --> 00:47:31,679
not terrible, but you take a look at his numbers,

946
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:37,159
is with rate fourteenth percentail fastball velocity fifteenth strikeout rate,

947
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:40,199
twelfth barrel rate, twenty first comes in with a three

948
00:47:40,199 --> 00:47:43,199
point eight one ERA, four point four to eight expected

949
00:47:43,639 --> 00:47:45,719
one point one on whip, So he's been a little

950
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:49,119
bit lucky to get those numbers, and overall, other than

951
00:47:49,159 --> 00:47:52,159
his chase rate and his walk rate, he's below average

952
00:47:52,199 --> 00:47:56,320
major league pitcher. Yamamoto is a guy up for the

953
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:58,000
cy young He's not going to get it, but he's

954
00:47:58,039 --> 00:48:01,480
probably been the most consistent star or in Major League Baseball.

955
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:04,599
So they got twelve victories, two point four nine ERA,

956
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:08,760
two point seventy three expected zero point nine to nine whip.

957
00:48:09,519 --> 00:48:11,559
Just about everything he has is in the Red on

958
00:48:11,639 --> 00:48:14,199
his stackcast page. His walk rates is a little highs

959
00:48:14,199 --> 00:48:17,199
I'm only the thirty eighth percentile and walk rate, and

960
00:48:17,199 --> 00:48:20,559
that's the only thing less than league average. And he's

961
00:48:20,559 --> 00:48:22,559
one of those guys that his stuff is so good

962
00:48:23,079 --> 00:48:26,000
he gets behind, Yeah, he'll put you on. There's a

963
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:28,400
few guys that do the same thing, throw six different pitches.

964
00:48:29,079 --> 00:48:32,000
And I like Yamamoto, but from a hitting standpoint in

965
00:48:32,039 --> 00:48:37,800
this game, huge advantage for the Dodgers the Reds coming in.

966
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:43,639
They did not use Spegun or Santaya yesterday, but they

967
00:48:43,639 --> 00:48:48,119
did use Ashcraft and Phillips for over twenty pitches. Overall,

968
00:48:48,119 --> 00:48:52,320
their bullpench should be in pretty good shape. But you

969
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:55,119
take a look at their hitters. Fidel's hitting very well.

970
00:48:55,119 --> 00:48:57,639
He's in the thirty third rank right now over the

971
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:01,960
last week, and obviously De la Cruz is trying to

972
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:04,719
snap out of his second half slumpies in the fifty

973
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:09,199
eighth spot the last seven days and hitting. But this

974
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:13,239
Dodgers team right now is swinging the bat very well,

975
00:49:14,079 --> 00:49:17,880
and they've got a lot of talent on this team,

976
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:20,960
and the top of the order has been terrific as

977
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,920
of late. And that's something that you got to take

978
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:27,880
intoccott here yesterday that the first inning was basically the ballgame.

979
00:49:28,079 --> 00:49:31,960
And you've got o'twani right now, second hitter in all

980
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:35,480
of baseball all season long, Mookie Bets thirty eighth, Freeman

981
00:49:35,599 --> 00:49:43,079
twenty ninth, and Hernandez ninety fifth and Andy Peyhouse sixty seconds.

982
00:49:43,079 --> 00:49:45,960
So there's five quality guys in the top one hundred

983
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:50,880
in Major League Baseball all in this lineup. Enrique Hernandez,

984
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:53,039
I believe was hurt yesterday. I don't think he's going

985
00:49:53,079 --> 00:49:55,360
to be playing tonight, But They got plenty of other

986
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:59,199
guys they could put out there, and it's situation for

987
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:01,719
me that I think the Dodgers are a pretty good bet.

988
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,280
I'm not going to lay it with him, but I

989
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:06,760
really don't want any part of Cincinnati here. It's going

990
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:09,760
to be very hard to me to say Cincinnati's pitching

991
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:12,000
staff be able to survive this Dodger's offense.

992
00:50:12,079 --> 00:50:16,079
Speaker 4: Right now, that was a really good promotion, Brian. I'm

993
00:50:16,119 --> 00:50:19,119
going to follow that up with my own promotion. I've

994
00:50:19,119 --> 00:50:21,960
been number one in profit at Wayger Talk three of

995
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:26,119
the last four years. And you can get KBO Japanese

996

baseball all half price. You can also get any non

997
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:34,559
American sport half price, and EuroLeague basketball is coming up.

998
00:50:34,599 --> 00:50:37,159
I won my first EuroLeague yesterday and I have another

999
00:50:37,199 --> 00:50:40,760
one up today along with my MLB play, which is

1000
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,159
nine dollars. Go to wayjer Talk dot com and see

1001
00:50:43,199 --> 00:50:45,079
what we all have. A free play is up on

1002
00:50:45,119 --> 00:50:50,079
the free play page as well. Brian rarely promotes himself.

1003
00:50:50,079 --> 00:50:52,360
That was kind of surprising. It was pretty good due

1004
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:57,280
all right. So yes, Brian is the historical leader in

1005
00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:02,199
MLB and NHL as well, so we're all good regarding

1006
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:05,440
this game. Everything points the Dodger's way, but you know

1007
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:08,679
what those are the kind of games that go the

1008
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:12,599
other way. Sometimes. Yamamoto his actual stats are better on

1009
00:51:12,639 --> 00:51:17,760
the road than at home, but that's like saying two supermodels.

1010
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:20,760
This is the uglier the of the two supermodels because

1011
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:23,320
his homira is like three point one, which is not

1012
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:27,639
bad at all. So I have a feeling the Reds

1013
00:51:27,679 --> 00:51:32,480
are going to score some runs today. I don't have

1014
00:51:32,639 --> 00:51:36,519
any data or any logic to back that up. I

1015
00:51:36,639 --> 00:51:39,679
just have a feeling. The Dodgers are one of those

1016
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:42,199
teams that are so super talented, but they just let

1017
00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:44,639
you down sometimes. I don't know if they're going to

1018
00:51:44,679 --> 00:51:47,679
swoop this. I just don't know. I agree with everything

1019
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:50,519
Brian said Lattel. I don't know why the Reds are

1020
00:51:50,519 --> 00:51:53,400
starting Lttel today. He has bad stats against these Dodgers

1021
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:55,840
in his history and nine to twenty four ops and

1022
00:51:55,880 --> 00:52:00,000
thirty one at bats against. Yamamoto has great stats off

1023
00:52:00,079 --> 00:52:03,800
five seventeen ops and a one seventy five average in

1024
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:08,559
a huge sample size. Everything points to the Dodgers, but

1025
00:52:08,639 --> 00:52:11,880
when that happens, we know what happens. Sometimes I'm gonna

1026
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:13,800
stay away from this because I got like this the

1027
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,280
hair on the back of my next sticking up here.

1028
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:18,440
I got a bad feeling for the Dodgers in this one.

1029
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:20,360
I don't know why, though I have no logic to

1030
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:20,920
back it up.

1031
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:26,559
Speaker 2: I love that you're doing EuroLeague basketball Tokyo brand, and

1032
00:52:26,599 --> 00:52:28,960
sometimes like if I if I really want to just

1033
00:52:29,679 --> 00:52:31,559
waste an hour or two of my life that I'll

1034
00:52:31,559 --> 00:52:34,519
never get back, like and this is I do this actually,

1035
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:36,960
Like every once in a while I'll start looking at

1036
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:40,400
like EuroLeague rosters because I'm a big college basketball fan,

1037
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:43,119
and it's just like the names on the EuroLeague rosters

1038
00:52:43,159 --> 00:52:45,440
are all guys that I was like, oh, like I

1039
00:52:45,519 --> 00:52:48,599
remember that dude at Western Kentucky. You know, oh he

1040
00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:50,400
was at Kinecious for a little while. Like just the

1041
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:52,360
names that pop up that you haven't seen a while

1042
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:54,840
and then they're on a EuroLeague team is awesome. So

1043
00:52:55,159 --> 00:52:58,880
if you're into EuroLeague basketball, which is actually a tremendous watch,

1044
00:52:59,159 --> 00:53:02,000
Like if you've just like it is a great watch.

1045
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:05,559
It's essentially soccer in a basketball arena, sometimes with.

1046
00:53:05,599 --> 00:53:09,639
Speaker 4: The against Israel, And.

1047
00:53:11,199 --> 00:53:12,280
Speaker 1: You know what I ended up.

1048
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:14,440
Speaker 2: So a guy by the name of Ronald Moore had

1049
00:53:14,679 --> 00:53:18,039
a long career over in Europe, and he was a

1050
00:53:18,119 --> 00:53:20,000
year two years younger than me at Sienna. He was

1051
00:53:20,039 --> 00:53:21,679
a friend of mine at Sienna. He was on that

1052
00:53:21,719 --> 00:53:24,039
great Sienna team that beat Ohio State and went to

1053
00:53:24,119 --> 00:53:28,400
multiple NCAA tournaments, long, long European basketball career, and uh

1054
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:30,159
so I would just you know, tune into the games

1055
00:53:30,199 --> 00:53:31,480
when I had a chance. And yeah, I mean I

1056
00:53:31,559 --> 00:53:34,119
think he played in like he all over the place,

1057
00:53:34,159 --> 00:53:36,400
but he'd be in Serbia and i mean there's like

1058
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:37,840
flares going off inside.

1059
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:39,639
Speaker 1: I'm like, the place is gonna burn to the ground.

1060
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:40,800
This isn't you know, it's.

1061
00:53:40,679 --> 00:53:43,880
Speaker 2: Not an open air like you know, this isn't outside

1062
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:46,719
like soccer. But yeah, it's a it's uh very cool

1063
00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:48,920
and if if you're into that, TV covers it, so

1064
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:49,800
so check that out.

1065
00:53:50,559 --> 00:53:53,400
Speaker 4: You get guys, Jim Debt that you haven't heard.

1066
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:54,599
Speaker 1: Jim.

1067
00:53:55,039 --> 00:53:57,199
Speaker 2: I can't even believe you brought that name up. Jimmer

1068
00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:00,000
for Debt is from the five one eight. He's from

1069
00:54:00,079 --> 00:54:03,079
Glen's Falls, New York. I actually lived down the street

1070
00:54:03,079 --> 00:54:05,360
from his parents for some time, and I went to

1071
00:54:05,599 --> 00:54:08,519
a lot of his high school basketball games. The Glenn's

1072
00:54:08,559 --> 00:54:11,440
Fall Civic Center now the cool insuring arena used to

1073
00:54:11,519 --> 00:54:15,000
be standing room only fire hazards. They used to have

1074
00:54:15,039 --> 00:54:17,199
to move some of his games from the high school

1075
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:19,599
over to the arena because so many people wanted to

1076
00:54:19,639 --> 00:54:23,320
watch him play. Still to this day, one of the

1077
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:26,000
best basketball players I've ever seen in person.

1078
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:28,119
Speaker 1: Was a huge jimmer for det fan.

1079
00:54:29,559 --> 00:54:33,440
Speaker 2: Legend in the Albany, New York area.

1080
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:37,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, we could go on all day. I will throw.

1081
00:54:38,039 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 2: Since we're doing the promo thing, we got to point

1082
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:42,519
out the fact that base is ninety nine. That coupon

1083
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:44,840
will get you the rest of the playoffs for any

1084
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:49,840
of the three of us. Ralph texted me the list,

1085
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:53,440
and I really was under the impression I was number

1086
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:56,360
one last year in the playoffs. Apparently don Buster must

1087
00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:58,079
have got me at like the finish line or something,

1088
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:01,400
because I look and he was actually number one. So

1089
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:03,920
I was number two, ten and four in the playoffs

1090
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:06,599
last year, twenty one point ninety two units a seventy

1091
00:55:06,599 --> 00:55:10,199
one point four percent win percentage. I pushed yesterday with

1092
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:13,559
Tiger's minus one. So have not registered an official play

1093
00:55:13,599 --> 00:55:16,599
I guess for this year, but that basis ninety nine

1094
00:55:16,599 --> 00:55:17,519
coupon get you.

1095
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:19,320
Speaker 1: I'm sorry Tiger's minus one.

1096
00:55:19,519 --> 00:55:22,199
Speaker 2: That basis ninety nine coupon gets you the whole playoffs

1097
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:24,880
for any of the three of us at a discounted rate.

1098
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:27,360
I know people want to hear me talk about this game.

1099
00:55:28,119 --> 00:55:30,400
I'm not really I don't have much to add. That's

1100
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:32,440
why I kind of went and rambled on a little

1101
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:35,880
right there. To me, this is such a mismatch. I

1102
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:38,440
feel like the Dodgers going back to a lot of

1103
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:39,440
what I said yesterday.

1104
00:55:39,679 --> 00:55:40,760
Speaker 1: Now, the one.

1105
00:55:40,599 --> 00:55:42,880
Speaker 2: Thing that the Reds can do here that would really

1106
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:45,960
throw a wrinkle into things is if they decide to

1107
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:49,199
go like Lattel and then maybe like piggyback him with

1108
00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:52,199
Lodolo or I don't really know. They haven't really said

1109
00:55:52,199 --> 00:55:54,639
exactly what they're gonna do with their pitching, but that

1110
00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:57,239
would be the one thing that I think could maybe

1111
00:55:57,320 --> 00:55:59,239
confuse the Dodgers a little bit, where it was like

1112
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:02,840
Lattel through the order, Abbott once through the order.

1113
00:56:03,079 --> 00:56:03,719
Speaker 1: I don't now.

1114
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:05,599
Speaker 2: No, they're gonna have to leave one of those guys

1115
00:56:05,599 --> 00:56:09,000
for Game three, so they can't just burn all of them.

1116
00:56:09,079 --> 00:56:11,719
But the reason I think that that's a possibility here

1117
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:15,159
is I do think they they would want to, So

1118
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:17,119
the Reds have to be looking at this like, how

1119
00:56:17,159 --> 00:56:19,599
can we The goal is to win the series, So

1120
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:21,960
what I think their best chance to do is and

1121
00:56:22,559 --> 00:56:25,480
I think this is probably why Latel is starting. You

1122
00:56:25,559 --> 00:56:27,760
go Lettel once through the order, pray he gets through

1123
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:30,960
the order. You take one of your starters and try

1124
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:34,280
to have them throw innings like three through seven, and

1125
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:36,920
then see if you're in the game, you need to

1126
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:40,119
save one starter for tomorrow. The problem with the Reds

1127
00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:42,519
is they don't have much bullpen depth. But the other

1128
00:56:42,599 --> 00:56:45,400
problem for the Reds is like, none of these guys

1129
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:48,400
are so good that the Dodgers couldn't put up a

1130
00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:50,280
four spot on them. And I think that's what you

1131
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:53,519
saw yesterday with Hunter Green as good as he's been

1132
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:57,079
all year. I mean, this is just an elite Dodgers lineup,

1133
00:56:57,599 --> 00:56:59,199
and to me, this is the big This is just.

1134
00:56:59,199 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 1: A total mismatch.

1135
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:03,320
Speaker 2: So could the Reds find a way to maybe stay

1136
00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:05,960
within a run and cover the plus one and a half? Yeah,

1137
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:08,039
I suppose they could. Could they even find a way

1138
00:57:08,079 --> 00:57:10,440
to win this game? Yeah, we've seen the Dodgers lose

1139
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:12,639
games that they maybe should win. Would I bet on

1140
00:57:12,679 --> 00:57:13,760
either of those things here?

1141
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:15,559
Speaker 1: No? I think you see the Dodgers.

1142
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 2: The Dodgers are focused right now, and that's something that

1143
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:21,280
we've kind of talked about on the show quite a bit.

1144
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:24,280
Speaker 1: The time to bet against the Dodgers earlier in the year.

1145
00:57:25,119 --> 00:57:29,599
Speaker 2: This team look they look like the best team right now.

1146
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:32,280
Like if you look at all the teams, the Dodgers

1147
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:34,840
to me look like the team to beat. And I

1148
00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:37,400
just don't think they're messing around right now. I think

1149
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:40,480
they're gonna put this away. So I would actually, again,

1150
00:57:40,559 --> 00:57:42,559
this is likely not going to make my client card.

1151
00:57:42,639 --> 00:57:44,840
I actually think Dodgers minus one and a half is

1152
00:57:45,119 --> 00:57:48,000
a reasonable look here, and I never say that with

1153
00:57:48,119 --> 00:57:50,719
teams on their home field that are with home teams

1154
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:52,199
that are only going to have eight at bats, But

1155
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:55,079
I just feel like it goes off the rails at

1156
00:57:55,079 --> 00:57:58,280
some point, some point in this game, the Dodgers are

1157
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:00,159
going to get a couple of guys on and it's

1158
00:58:00,159 --> 00:58:01,559
going to be crooked number and it's going to be

1159
00:58:01,599 --> 00:58:02,679
good night for the Reds.

1160
00:58:02,519 --> 00:58:05,199
Speaker 1: That's kind of how I feel about this game.

1161
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:08,639
Speaker 2: Both i's aiming says wager talk should looking to make

1162
00:58:08,679 --> 00:58:09,320
me a discord.

1163
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:12,400
Speaker 1: We tried that years ago. We tried that. It didn't work.

1164
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:13,239
No one showed up.

1165
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 2: So if you can convince management that people will show

1166
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:18,199
up in there, I'm sure we would do it.

1167
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:20,440
Speaker 1: But we did try that one point. It didn't work.

1168
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 4: It was like a Tony in autobiography.

1169
00:58:23,719 --> 00:58:25,840
Speaker 2: Yes, Tony Benn was the only one in there, and

1170
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:27,400
he did post a lot of good stuff, but no

1171
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:29,280
one else was in there. So we'll have to see

1172
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:32,440
if we can. Who knows, maybe discords more of a thing. Now,

1173
00:58:32,519 --> 00:58:34,599
maybe we'll run that back at some point.

1174
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:39,360
Speaker 3: All right, I just wanted to God that Chase Burns

1175
00:58:39,519 --> 00:58:42,719
I wouldn't surprise me if he gets a few innings today.

1176
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:46,239
He's their hatshots starter that they put in the bullpen

1177
00:58:46,679 --> 00:58:49,320
pitch thirty three pitches on Sunday in their bullpen game.

1178
00:58:50,039 --> 00:58:52,800
So he's had the last couple of days off, so

1179
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:56,400
you might see him out there for a couple of innings.

1180
00:58:56,599 --> 00:58:59,960
And he's very talented, so that may be an advantage

1181
00:59:00,079 --> 00:59:02,320
for the Reds those two innings. But he's still also

1182
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:02,880
very young.

1183
00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:06,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's listen if you want to.

1184
00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:08,840
Speaker 2: If you want to bet the Reds today, like I,

1185
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:12,960
I think your rationale behind playing the Reds in any

1186
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:14,480
capacity is the.

1187
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:17,920
Speaker 1: Fact there's a they have. It's you know, it's win

1188
00:59:18,039 --> 00:59:18,639
or go home.

1189
00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 2: They have a couple of different ways they could go,

1190
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:24,559
and they maybe they can mix it up enough to

1191
00:59:24,679 --> 00:59:28,519
confuse the Dodgers' hitters where it's like lattel for these batters. Okay,

1192
00:59:28,519 --> 00:59:30,199
now we're gonna hit you with Chase Burns, who has

1193
00:59:30,239 --> 00:59:32,920
great stuff. Then we might go with a lefty. There

1194
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:34,880
is some appeal to that, but I'm kind of with

1195
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:39,519
someone in the chat. I think it was Steve Duke.

1196
00:59:39,559 --> 00:59:41,280
I just lost the comment because I was trying to

1197
00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:44,400
pull up turnbuckle. Tommy's comment said, like, it's hard to

1198
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:46,519
believe the Dodgers don't put up a crooked number two

1199
00:59:46,599 --> 00:59:49,039
at some point, and it's like, do you trust the

1200
00:59:49,079 --> 00:59:53,159
Reds to be able to counter off Yamamoto to keep

1201
00:59:53,159 --> 00:59:55,280
it close? I I don't think I do, so, I

1202
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:59,599
think it'd be Dodgers or pass for me, turbucle Tommy says,

1203
00:59:59,599 --> 01:00:03,559
discord as much bigger. Now, listen, we send that into

1204
01:00:03,559 --> 01:00:05,480
customer support. Maybe we'll maybe we'll try it.

1205
01:00:05,519 --> 01:00:05,960
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1206
01:00:06,159 --> 01:00:09,400
Speaker 2: I think it would take a team effort, buying from

1207
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:13,639
all the handicappers. But who knows good It's a good request,

1208
01:00:14,559 --> 01:00:16,320
but I do know it didn't work the one time

1209
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:17,679
we tried to do it, which was like three or

1210
01:00:17,679 --> 01:00:20,960
four years ago. So at any rate, we have hit

1211
01:00:21,039 --> 01:00:24,960
ten am once again perfectly timed out show with the

1212
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:25,679
four games.

1213
01:00:25,719 --> 01:00:26,239
Speaker 1: Look at that.

1214
01:00:27,599 --> 01:00:30,000
Speaker 2: We have a three teamer today that hopefully I don't

1215
01:00:30,079 --> 01:00:31,360
ruin like I did yesterday.

1216
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:33,599
Speaker 1: We hit two of the three. TV got there with.

1217
01:00:33,599 --> 01:00:36,360
Speaker 2: Dodgers, Brian Leonard got there with the Tigers under and

1218
01:00:37,119 --> 01:00:40,199
unfortunately the Yankees didn't get the job done.

1219
01:00:40,199 --> 01:00:42,280
Speaker 1: So what am I going to do? Go right back

1220
01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:43,760
to the Yankees in the parlay today?

1221
01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:48,199
Speaker 2: That's my parlay leg Tokyo Brandon's going Guardian's money line

1222
01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:50,519
and Brian Leonard is going Cubs mo moneyline.

1223
01:00:50,559 --> 01:00:53,760
Speaker 1: So really your entertainment for the day is right there.

1224
01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:57,480
Speaker 2: Three teamer is going to go Guardians minus one twenty

1225
01:00:57,519 --> 01:01:02,119
six for Tokyo Brandon, Cubs minus won thirteen for Brian Leonard,

1226
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:05,480
Yankees minus won seventy five for me. Actually, paste plus

1227
01:01:05,559 --> 01:01:07,599
four thirty one. That's actually better than I thought it

1228
01:01:07,639 --> 01:01:09,559
was gonna be. I thought it would be uh under

1229
01:01:09,559 --> 01:01:11,719
four to one. So the fact that that parlay is

1230
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:14,400
better than four to one odds I actually think is

1231
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:17,880
pretty nice value. And that'll be your three team or today.

1232
01:01:18,239 --> 01:01:24,920
Does anyone have anything before we sign off? All right,

1233
01:01:26,079 --> 01:01:29,159
I know, I know, well we I need money. You

1234
01:01:29,239 --> 01:01:31,480
got all the rants out already, so like I figured,

1235
01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:33,880
there was nothing else, nothing else to say at this point.

1236
01:01:34,159 --> 01:01:38,159
Speaker 4: Oh one last comment. I did try the Apple Fireball.

1237
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:43,480
I like original betteraircus.

1238
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:41,800
Speaker 1: A weird ad.

1239
01:01:42,079 --> 01:01:45,599
Speaker 2: Listen, I always get I always get fooled by the

1240
01:01:45,639 --> 01:01:50,239
marketing nonsense. Every time, like Coke or Doctor Pepper puts

1241
01:01:50,239 --> 01:01:53,039
out one of these like stupid flavors, I always end

1242
01:01:53,119 --> 01:01:56,000
up buying it and I end up tossing like ten

1243
01:01:56,079 --> 01:01:57,320
of the twelve pack like it.

1244
01:01:57,480 --> 01:01:59,440
Speaker 4: Just to taste is a little weird for me. I

1245
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:00,840
didn't like the take they taste.

1246
01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:03,159
Speaker 1: They end up tasting like medicine a little bit anytime.

1247
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:05,639
Speaker 4: Yeah exactly.

1248
01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:08,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that doesn't surprise me one bit. They got

1249
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:10,400
you with the marketing. It happens to me all the time.

1250
01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:13,679
Hopefully we get you with the marketing and you go

1251
01:02:13,719 --> 01:02:16,400
over to the website and use that basis ninety nine

1252
01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:18,880
coupon on someone's picks for the rest of the year.

1253
01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:22,440
We'll be back in the morning nine am Eastern hopefully

1254
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:24,280
with a couple of games. Hopefully like some of these

1255
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:27,800
games split and we've got games for tomorrow. But either way,

1256
01:02:28,639 --> 01:02:30,800
the only way we're not here tomorrow is if all

1257
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:34,320
four series end. I suppose, so as long as there's

1258
01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:36,559
one game, will be with you in the morning, and

1259
01:02:37,239 --> 01:02:39,039
let's cash and tickets say we'll see you in the morning.

1260
01:02:39,239 --> 01:02:42,119
Speaker 1: Have a great day everyone, and we'll see you tomorrow.
