Speaker 1: Say something.
Speaker 2: All right, welcome in. It is time for total basis.
I think I surprised everyone when I hit go live
right there. But we are live. We've got one game
to talk about today. But as folks file in, just
to give people you know, I know a lot of
people like to watch this show live, so I think
we can comment on what we saw last night. The
Dodgers advance. I do feel bad for Philly's pitcher. That's
not the way that you want to go out. But
you know what, the Dodgers were the better team in
that series. They deserve to advance in my opinion. And
Brian Leonard, how about the Coves forcing a Game five
that'll go tomorrow night after being down to nothing in
the series. Anything that you guys saw from last night's
games that you want to point out or maybe that
you're looking ahead to apply in in the next round
or Game five tomorrow for Brewers Cubs. And then and
then we'll get into the other game.
Speaker 1: Well, I'll just talk about the ending of the ending
of the Dodgers game. I never played baseball organized leagues
or whatever, but I always played softball. We played a
pretty good level. I was playing in the Cleetland Championship
one year, and I was a pitcher and I had
they had the bases loaded, very similar situation they had.
They hit the line drive right back ab he hit
me in the ankle and I I did the same thing.
I threw a while pitch at Hunt to Home and
I so, I've been in the same boat. It's not
much smaller, obviously, but it does affect you. And uh he,
I thought. As soon as it happened, I told my wife,
I said, he's got to throw the first. And he
didn't throw it first. He throws the first. He gets him.
It happens. It's it shouldn't come down to that. But
there's a hell of a ball game if you like
pitching and defense all. Some of the defense was really good,
other not so good. But that's the way we've seen
the playoffs so far. But I had the Dodgers looked
like they found their closer, and you've got to think,
right now they're going to be if you didn't think
it earlier. There the team degree.
Speaker 3: Yeah, in my opinion, I think that the Dodgers won,
but I think Dave Roberts made another stupid decision in
that game that almost cost him in this situation. I
think when you have a veteran pitcher on the mound,
you let him go until he gets into trouble. And
they I think they pulled the starter way too early there.
Eighty pitches, he only gave up two hits. You don't
take the guy out. Then they switched him. The next
guy up immediately gave a runaway. I thought, this is
the end of the Dodgers for this game. Great call,
Dave Roberts again, but the Dodgers got through with that
great lineup.
Speaker 4: Having Will Smith.
Speaker 3: Back is just a big, huge thing. I was on
the wrong side of the Brewers game. I think a
lot of people probably were because I don't think anyone
expected Peralta to be that terrible and just give the
game away right in the first inning.
Speaker 4: And bats just died yesterday.
Speaker 3: Three hits in a playoff game is not where you
want to be. So they've had two games where they've struggled. Actually,
the game before that they lost four to three and
they got seven hits, so that's not so bad. But
they do have some sleepy bats. And I mentioned on
the show yesterday the Cubs are the power team and
the Brewers are the grinded out team, manufacturer runs team,
and you can see it in their stats. I mean,
the Cubs have almost one hundred more home runs than
the Brewers do, but the Brewers have more hits, which
tells you that they are a grinded out team. And
when that factory conveyor belt is not grinding out hits,
your offense comes to a complete halt, which is where
the Brewers were last night. So back home, we'll see
who the pitchers are. I don't see any indication yet,
but that's going to be a good game. Seven. I
think could be the end of the Brewers reign. But hey,
the last time I called the Brewers out, look what happened.
Speaker 4: So we'll see what happens.
Speaker 3: But Dodgers got by on another poor Dave Roberts' decision.
You notice the Phillies let their starter go until the
seventh inning and he did great. So anyways, those are
my thoughts.
Speaker 2: So I guess I'll go on the Brewers Cubs first.
I really wasn't that surprised that they got the peralta.
Why because, as I said yesterday, familiarity catches up with
just about everyone. You see a guy enough. These are
two division rivals. They've played what did I said yesterday
thirteen seventeen, so this will be their eighteenth game coming
up on Saturday. I just don't think either team is
doing something that the other team is not prepared for
at this point. I don't think either team is a
pitcher that the other team is not prepared for. At
this point. The margin between the two teams is not
that steep. So really not surprised the Cubs won, and
Game five should be awesome. It's a division battle. It'll
be interesting to see what the respective teams do because
they are both in a position where they may have
to mix and match a little bit. They may have
to decide how long they want to go with someone
like ms Rowski, or you know, how they want to
play it. So those are those are my favorite type games.
When he gets to the playoffs and then you've got
both both coaches that really have to make decisions. Of course,
you have Craig Counsel, who knows his opponent as good
as anyone. Murphy has proven to be a great coach.
I didn't think he was going to be this good
of a coach following Counsel. He's been awesome. So that's
going to be a great game. As far as the Dodgers,
I want to I mean, listen, I'll go back to
what Brian said if I don't know what else the
Dodgers need to do to make you a believer in
this team. And I actually think it's actually amazing that
the market hasn't believed in them as much as I
thought they would. I think it's the Phillies being the
Phillies and that series started in Philadelphia. The Dodgers just
won that series three to one. Not with you know what,
We're never really in danger of not winning the series.
Oh Tani hit one forty eight, Freeman hit two seventeen,
Will Smith one fifty four. I mean those three did nothing, really,
they really did very little all series. And you know,
as far as going back to last now coming out,
I mean, one of the best things that the Dodgers
have done that I think could be the key to
them winning the World Series is Roki Sasaki coming out
of the bullpen. That has been a tremendous move for them.
And when you're again, I'll go back to the term,
it's an embarrassment of riches. They have so many guys,
so many different ways they can use them, but that
that was huge for them. They started experimenting with that
at the TRIPAA level when he was down there rehabbing.
The reason they did that is because his rehab wasn't
going well. So I watched quite a few Oklahoma City
broadcasts during his time down there, and they did not
like how his rehab was going. So that's why they
decided to make the move because they didn't really have
room for him. They didn't want to bring him back
up to the bigs, and they kind of like sent
him down. He's still had options, so when his rehab
was done, they let him go down there up here
as a reliever. It's happened some of these guys looking
on what was it, Barland, I mean some of these
guys where they know they only have to go out
there for an inning or two, suddenly they're throwing a hundred.
They're a whole different pitcher. So that I think that's
huge for the Dodgers. And we've talked about their bullpen
woes at times this year. Sasaki was great yesterday, three
scoreless and gave his team a chance to win.
Speaker 3: So yeah, and W Bryan, that's crazy, crazy that they're
using him for one inning spurts, because when he was
in Japan he was basically going into the eighth inning
every single start out here. But again, the bats are
really weak out here. We'll get game scores of five
and a half and six and a half out here,
where you're getting eight and eight and a half out there.
Speaker 4: Not today though, which we'll get to in just a moment.
Speaker 3: But yes, what other team left in the playoffs could
beat the Philadelphia Phillies in that series without their best
batter hitting, you know, all over new other teams.
Speaker 2: The Phillies were without Wheeler. That's an average baseball team
in a five game series in mind.
Speaker 3: But I mean, but I mean, of all the teams
that are left in the playoffs, if your best hitter
is not producing, you'd be in trouble.
Speaker 4: Most teams would be in trouble. But the Dodgers are not.
So that's kind of yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's definitely a worthwhile point to make like
the Dodgers, and this will be by transitioning into today's game.
The Dodgers can overcome managerial mistakes. That's when you have
that much talent. It's very similar to the Yankees last year.
The Yankees were a game or two away from winning
a championship, and they made more mistakes than anyone. But
last year with Soto that that team Cole that they
just had all the talent in the world and you
can overcome it. A team like the Detroit Tigers cannot, okay,
and that's that. I think that'll be the segue into
this game. They don't have the talent some of these
other teams have. What they do have is the best manager.
In my opinion, give me a J. Hinch against anyone
else in the playoffs. I powerate him one from a
managerial standpoint, right, I wondered in this spot he had
He also though this will be one of the times
throughout the series where he does have that ace pitcher
right drink schoobl on the mound. But the Mariners might
like there a you know, I think you could call
George Kirby at least one A one B one C
out there right now is kind of like where their
pitchers go. So Tiger's Mariners Game five start us off.
How are you seeing it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was interesting that uh Brandon brought up the
total and that's the person that jumped out of me.
Is we're now seeing five and a half's out there
slightly to over.
Speaker 4: I don't see it often.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's then then that's the way I would have
treated the game was to play the under. But even
I don't have the uh the cohonas to play anunder
five and a half in the major league baseball game,
because one inning we could see it, you know, three
or on homer like we did yesterday in the Milwaukee game,
and that was basically the game right there in the
in the first inning. So well, we got Scoble going,
he's about a one, yeah, one twenty five favorite here
total five and a half over minus one twenty. There
is a couple there is a couple sixes out there.
You got to lay about one fifteen one eighteen four.
But yeah, it's expected to be a low scoring game,
and uh, with these two pitchers, you could fully see
that happening. Scooble comes in two point two one era
two point seven three expected zero point eight nine, whip
in fantastic on the season, best pitcher in baseball, and
he's proven it, and he continues to pick up major innings.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: He finished the season with one hundred and ninety five
point one and he's already gone what three four games
already in the playoffs, so he may have He's not
a guy I'm looking to bet on early in the
season next year. Let's just say at this point because
of his all these innings, he's piled up, but he
loves it and that's what he does. He's just a
great pitcher, and you've got to be really good to
be George Kirby up and down season because the injuries
comes in with a four point two on the RA
three point eighty five expected one point one to nine whip.
I don't know if i'd rate him as a one, A,
one B. I think he's a solid number two on
any team in Major League Baseball. If you take a
look at his record the last three years ten and eight,
fourteen and eleven, thirteen to ten, and Seattle's been pretty
good over that time, so you would think a number
one guy would have better numbers than that. And if
you take a look at the stackcast page, it's more
red than anything but Awa Jackson velocity fourteenth percent I
a hard right rate twenty first. He is a step
down from school Bol so I would go like a
Schools a complete as a best pitcher in baseball, and
Kirby is a solid number two. But Seattle's been very
good at home all year, and this is a tough
place to play in for myself. Like I said, I
thought he was gonna be a low scoring game. I
wanted to play the under, but the line is keeping
me off of it. So I may look to do
something in live betting and get a bet in that way,
but other than that, I'll be passing on this one.
On a side note, it would have been nice if
his Rus Lizardo got to save yesterday because then according
to Tokyo Brand and Jesus Saves and he was Philadelphia.
Also a fantastic song by the band Sabotage Jesus Saves,
one of the underrated heavy metal bands over the years.
Speaker 3: Sell you my sign right there Jesus saves with the
hockey goalie mask.
Speaker 1: On yeah you go, you go, But yeah it's it's again.
I'm looking forward to watch, but I won't have anything
on it.
Speaker 3: So when I cap games, the first thing I do
is just look it over and and kind of get
my first impression before I look at any lines, before
I look at any stats or anything. I just like
to get a first impression because my first impression, I'm
not like braggadocious or anything, but my first impression is
generally more correct than if I overanalyze something. So when
I looked at this, my first impression was, Okay, Scooble
lost his last start. He's actually lost I think his
last two starts. But my impression is that he hasn't
really been very sharp his last two starts. That was
my impression. Now, am I right or wrong? So I
went and looked at his stats. He's been really good
and he's actually been going seven or more innings in the.
Speaker 4: Postseason, which is pretty rare.
Speaker 3: So it tells you what the manager allows, and the
manager for the Tigers allows his starters to go deep.
Speaker 4: This starter to go deep.
Speaker 3: Now, my impression was that he had a bad start
last time, but giving up two earned in seven innings
is not a bad start. With nine K not a
bad start at all, five hits in a walk. So
my impression was that's a bad start. Okay, that's a
bad start for schoobl maybe, but any pitcher in this
league would take that start any day. So the game
before that, I misspoke. The game before that was a
win against the Guardians, the Cleveland team, I hate that name,
the Guardians, and he gave up one earned in seven
and seven seven and two thirds. So Schoobol is amazing, obviously.
So my next impression was, Okay, the Tigers not exactly
a ferocious offense. Seattle's got the names, the hitters, the
home run hitters, the best catcher in the league, Suarez,
a couple guys back behind Suarez who can also swat it.
So you got the better lineup against the better pitcher.
And usually that means under. So you look at the
under it's five and a half in six is no
way you can take that. So I wanted to take
a look at Kirby's stats. Now, Kirby's a solid picture.
Uh he's he's an upper echelon picture. But he's not,
you know, in the class of treeks Google at all.
But he's facing a lineup that's not exactly Murderer's row,
but against these batters. Take a look at Kirby's passed
against these batters. Ninety nine at bats against two to
ninety three average and a nine eighty six OPS and
he's on the road. So oh no, I'm sorry, he's
at home, so he's better at home than not so
what Trump's what do you trust the fact that he's
at home? Do you trust the fact that he's facing
a not so great lineup? Or do you kind of
rely on his past stats and say, well, maybe the
Tigers will get to him. In any case, I think
the Tigers will probably come out on top in this
one when.
Speaker 4: You put it all together.
Speaker 3: But it looks like another one of those two to one,
three to one kind of games that they've all always
been having. These two teams, they always seem to have
like a two to one game. It's kind of looking
like that to me. Those are my first impressions. Now
I can expound more and more off of it. But
I think Adam's chomping at the bit to say something,
so I'll pass it over.
Speaker 2: Oh No, I was actually just I was reading a
text that someone sent me college basketball related because it's
all I've been doing in my spare time in the
last basically week, in addition to you know, of course,
following the Major League Baseball Playoffs, watching MLB games, hitting
the Giants last night. I'll tell you what I was
gonna like. I'm still gonna put this up for sale,
but because I'm very very likely posting a five percent
NFL play as soon as I get off the show,
or you know, at some point this morning. I had
a nice run going hit the Giants last night, I
hit the Jaguars on Monday, so I think it's time
to go big. I'm just gonna give you the play
I made in this game. Again. This is just for
you guys that actually watched the show. I'm still putting
it up for so know that it is going up
for sale. I did play the Tigers here. Now. I
know people are gonna say it, Trig. I know you
need the Mariners. Here's the thing, and I want to
answer this and and I'll and you I'll go back
to YouTube. In terms of like, because I think this
is an interesting topic we haven't really covered and it's
going to start to creep up for some people. If
you have a future, like for me, they're two separate things.
So like I took some Mariners' futures back in May. Okay,
I put that that's off in the corner. I don't
even think about it. I don't let it creep into
my handicap. I'm not because remember I'm just betting a
number relative to like what I think it should be
in May. I'm not in May. I'm not sitting here saying, well,
they're going to be in Game five against Tree School,
but we don't know who the matchups are at that point,
so like, I don't even think about that. And so
I know, like people keep asking me, but sure, you
said Mariners. You like Mariners, You've liked them all season. Well,
if you go back to watch any of the shows
that we've done, I said that this matchup is far
more favorable to the Tigers in terms of like the
way they match up as opposed to the way they
would match up with some other teams. So I like
the fact that the Mariners don't have much in regards
to left handed pitching. I've said that from the beginning.
I think it helps the star players on this Tigers team,
which again, it's the playoffs you need, you know, Not
everyone's the Dodgers right now. Not everyone can get by
without their stars stepping up. And I just truly believe that,
like you, you know, the best matchup for Carpenter and
Green gives the Tigers a better chance to win than
if that if we were seeing someone if we were
seeing a team that was just throwing lefty after lefty
against them, even though some of the other players on
the team have better numbers against lefty. So I've said
the whole year, I think guys like you know, the
fact that they've seen now what Kirby, Miller, Castillo, Gilbert like,
they're all coming from similar armslots, they're all right handed pitchers.
You now get the fifth game, you now get your
second look at Kirby. I think that's more of an
advantage for the Tigers. And then let's say the other
way around. Yeah, okay, great, the Mariners get to see
Schooble again and he's one of the best pictures in
the game. He is probably is the best picture in
the game right now. And he liked, like Tokyo Brandon said,
he wasn't bad in Game two when they lose three
to two, just a tough game. Think Polanco got him
for a home run and wasn't it wasn't two to one.
I think there was something like that. It was. The
point is it was a low scoring game. I like
aj Hinch. I think he's a better manager and to
to you know, you're right, Toky Brandon You made a
point that I think was a good point that I
want to elaborate on, and then we'll go back to
Brian for his thoughts on it. You said, like Schooble,
he's gonna let Schooble go. You're you're one hundred percent
right about that. Is as much as Hinch likes to
toy with things, this is the one guy where he's
a unicorn, right, Like you don't have many Turk. Schooble
is an old school ace where it's like game five,
this is your game, We're gonna We're gonna go as
you go. Dan Wilson seems to be more old school
in the way he handles his pitching, where it's like
he's riding his starters out. He really if you've watched
this series, I mean he's been hesitant to go get
his starter out of the game. It's almost like, you know,
I think in every game at least I'm pretty sure
they've they've gone at least into the fifth inning. I
know he got Miller out in the fifth, but it
was like you could kind of see, like can I
get him through the fifth inning? Castile was in the
same boat, you know, do I want to leave him
through five. So like I think Dan Wilson is much
more old school, where it's like you're gonna get it's
George Kirby's game until it's it's not. But it's not
gonna be a scenario where it's like he's in for
two or three innings and then he's out. The only
way that's happening is if he's getting shelled. So I
think the Tigers, though you give me a third time
through against Kirby, I have more confidence than the Tigers
getting the big hit than I would the Mariner's third
time through against Google. And then I don't think there's
a huge difference between Hinch managing his bullpen at the
end of the game and the marin in there. So obviously,
if it comes down to, like you gotta beat Munno's, well,
at that point you're probably already beat. But other than that,
I think the Tigers have the edge. So I'll go
back to Brian and then we'll go to TV. Any
follow up comments to any of that, No, it's.
Speaker 1: I will say in the whoever wins this. If Detroit
does win it, they're behind the eight ball because they've
used Scooble so often and if he does go what
we expect seven innings are longer today, he'll probably be
their number three starter win the next series. Whereas with Seattle,
they've got so many guys that are in the same
general area for starters, it's not as big of a
deal for them. So even if Detroit wins this, keep
in mind if you're looking to play the next series
that Scooble will not be able to go likely anywhere
near that as many times as he's gone so far,
and that would lower their chances of winning.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Also one thing to keep in mind. I'll just
touch on a couple of props for this game. Scooball,
as I mentioned, has finished seven innings his last two starts.
Seven innings equals twenty one out. Scooble's outs prop today
is nineteen and a half. I've never seen a nineteen
and a half so far this season. Now, Wheeler was
the one who was getting a lot of eighteen and
a half and Brian Wu was getting some eighteen and
a halfs, but I have not seen a nineteen and
a half yet. This is my first one. So nineteen
and a half means will he record two outs in
the seventh inning, so yes or no, he might, but
that's that's you gotta You have to have some testicular
fortitude to bet that.
Speaker 4: His strikeout prop nine and a half? So will he
or will he not? Get ten strikeouts? Holy cow, I
haven't seen a ten and a half or a nine
and a half this season either. So the books are
off to aj Hinch's managing style. They know this is
Scooble's game. They're going to ride him. And I agree with.
Speaker 3: That with that strategy because the managers who look to
tomorrow when they're making their decisions in this game always lose.
You have to win today to even get to tomorrow.
So if you're saving guys tonight to get to a
game the day after tomorrow, that's a losing strategy and
the managers who do that always lose. But I doubt
Hinch will do that. He's not caring about how many
games School will start in the next series. He just
wants to get to the next series, which is smart managing.
Kirby's outsprop. By the way, it's fourteen and a half.
So will he or will he not? Finish the fifth inning?
I think that's a proper number because he could get
he could come out early. I mean the playoff games.
This is the type of game where a manager can
put another starter in as a mid reliever, like we
saw what the Phillies doing with Jesus last night.
Speaker 4: So I think that prop is pretty accurate.
Speaker 3: And then strikeouts for Kirby is at five and a half,
which I think is a little high. Probably look to
a little bit lower on that. Just give me one
more minute. On the hitting side, the guys who have
gotten to Kirby on this team are mainly Labor Torres
is five for twelve, Keith Colt five for ten, and
Riley Green is four for twelve. So if you want
to bet hits runs, RBI props something like that, those
would probably be the guys to look at. I have
not done any of those yet because Seattle's bullpen's pretty good,
so I'm gonna avoid hits runs, RBI's props, or any
hitter props for this game.
Speaker 4: That's my prop segment for y'all.
Speaker 2: So I saw something comments in the chat, so wolfall,
I'll agree with one of these and disagree with the other.
I don't think JP Crawford's a good matchup against Schooble
that's a tough that's that's left on left and Schooble
probably wipes him out. However, cal Rawley, his ops is
higher against left handed pitching. Then I mean it's high
against everything, but he he has surprisingly like elite numbers
from the right side of the plate for a for
a switch hitter, his numbers is ops is actually higher
from the right side of the plate. So I don't
mind a rally prop against uh Schooble if that's the
way that you want to go, Google States the marin Yeah,
like so the Mariners have beat him. Let let me
like just go back to the Mariners against Schooble this year.
One of those games was I believe, either his first
or second start of the season. They played like the
literal first day of April uh Tiger's Mariners. They then
played again in that series that the that the Tigers
kind of were like, yeah, we don't really care. It
was the series before the All Star break where the
Mariners swept the Tigers, and I think the Tigers were
already on vacation. They had like five six dudes going
to the All Star Game. They had a ten game
lead in the division. They said, yeah, we're all set here.
They got pounded the whole weekend, so I wouldn't put
much stock into into those regular season numbers for these
two teams. It was, if anything, I think the regular
season meetings like understate that the Tigers a little bit
because they totally just like didn't show up for that
series prior to the All Star Break. So I would
trust more what you saw in Game two from schoolbl
being like what you're probably going to see here. That's
just what That's just sort of my answer to that. Yeah,
and we're just all to that.
Speaker 3: Guys who have done okay against Scooball. Yeah, JP Crawford
has great numbers against Scooball, but as small sample size
a rose Raine is six for twenty one, Polanco nine
for twenty nine. Uh So those are guys if you're
if you really really want to take a hitters prop
against Durik Scooble, which I don't think most sane people
would do, those would be the guys to target for that.
Speaker 1: I don't want to point out if you do Crawford.
Crawford's been batting in the bottom of the lineup, so
the chances with him getting three at bats against Schooble
probably not going to happen, so he's gonna have to
get a hit in his first two batch.
Speaker 3: So and Crawford's one of those guys who's been around forever,
so he might have compiled those stats like two years
ago or something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say the best hitter prop. If you
want a Mariner's hitter prop, it's gotta be cal Rawley
because you're getting him from the right side against Google.
Probably has the best chance of anyone to hit Google
in that lineup is ops from the right side is
like over a thousand excuse me. And then later in
the game if they do take Schooble out rally, will
never be at a I mean, he says it's anyone
they throw at him is going to be a good
matchup for him. Whereas like you could you could almost
argue that Crawford could be pinch up for at some
point if they really wanted to. And like Brian saying
he's down at the bottom of the order, yeah, that
would be I don't think him having a couple of
good at bats against Google is enough. I would say, like,
give me the next ten at bats probably go to
Reeks way Between those two. So yeah, all.
Speaker 3: Right, well we didn't do any promotions, so let me
just throw one out letting you guys know that wayger
Talk allows us to price our MLB plays at nine
dollars for the rest of the season, anything but a
five percent play and all three of us generally will
put out some free plays. So go to wayga talk
dot com and click the free plays page to see
what all the wayger Talk cappers are offering.
Speaker 4: Had to throw that in or else they will skin us.
Speaker 2: Yeah, now, can't check that out. I think TV and
I are still grinding out Asian baseball. I know we
can put our career plays up for a discount. I
actually may have a playing which would be I believe
kind of tomorrow morning, our time, So keep an eye
up for that. And like I said, I kind of
gave my thoughts on this game, so you know, you
kind of just watch rewatch the show. You know, when
I'm on in MLB two Brian hockey for today.
Speaker 1: You think there is for some reason, there is no
hockey schedule today. You talk about they do that in
Major League Baseball doing stupid things. What you have a
full schedule tomorrow, whether it's college football, all day long.
I don't know.
Speaker 2: I've noticed. I've noticed NHL, for whatever reason, we'll do that.
And I'm not like a hockey fan. I don't even
really follow the league at all. But I noticed that
they'll have like a full day of games and the
next day there will be one game. But they're not
getting rained out. They play inside. So I'm not quite
sure what the the meaning of the open date is for.
Speaker 4: But hockey scheduling is quite weird. They do that.
Speaker 3: Sometimes they'll have two games in a day and then
the next day they'll have like ten games.
Speaker 1: It's kind of weird yesterday and today that gets it out,
I guess. I don't know.
Speaker 3: It's one guy is just in his basement making the
schedule and facts is it to him.
Speaker 1: I got a wedding that day. I don't want to
have to watch hockey.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll go with the We'll go with a league
wide off day, like the fourth day of the season,
you know, and we're excited. Hey, people are excited for hockey.
Back McKennis has shows at all hours. Let's just take
a day off. Let's make sure they have nothing to
talk about.
Speaker 1: By the way, I know we're about to finish up.
I did. After I did the show yesterday. I did
the Hockey Show and pres was on there, and he says, brother,
and that he never called me to congratulate the Toronto
Blue Jays. And he goes, he said he didn't like
the pitching staff before the season started, and I said, well, yeah,
they didn't have you Savage, then, they didn't have a
lot of things. I said that. I said, but I
put a five percent on Toronto yesterday. I've been rioting
for Toronto. I've had Toronto a lot lately. So yeah,
he was giving a ship because in Vegas. I said
something about those Vegas Ations winning the championship a couple
of years ago. He goes, who cares about that? Well,
if they went again the next game, they would have
won three out of four years. I don't see any
doing that.
Speaker 3: Why don't the Jays win something before people get excited?
Speaker 2: Well that's what I mean. Why do you get congratuated
for winning the division series? Like it gotta go a
little bit more. Yeah, before before.
Speaker 4: Trophies for everyone, the.
Speaker 1: Dodgers weren't over decided to get to that point.
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, you got to act like you've been
there sometimes which they haven't. You know, people just like
them because they're from Canada, I guess, but yeah, they
got they if they if they've faced the Dodgers, I
really don't see them having much chance.
Speaker 2: Those early nineties Blue Jay teams. I have some of
my first memories of baseball as a kid was my
parents taking me to the SkyDome because it was like,
you know that that's the four probly like a four
hour drive from where I grew up, and I pretty
much like my one of my favorite players as a
kid was Roberto Alomar because of those his stint on
the Blue Jays, and I think they won back to
back World Series. I would say that's like my first
vivid baseball memory as a child was Joe Carter winning
that World Series. So they he'll be this year, maybe
it'll be this year.
Speaker 1: S okay. But they had a they have a commercial
on the games yesterday from the Canadian TV and they
had Joe Carter on it and he's finally looking old
that for all these years and he still looks better
than any anybody that age that I know, But yeah,
he's I love Joe Carter loved Toronto at that time
and very good baseball team back.
Speaker 2: Then, David, I believe the Diamondbacks have one World championship,
but to me, it's still the best one I still
would to as far as for my lifetime, I I
the best World Series I think I've ever witnessed was
was Arizona Yankees two thousand and one, so that would
be I believe the dina Backs long title. And then
of course they fell to the Rangers two years ago,
three years ago, twenty.
Speaker 3: Three, twenty twenty three, and then yeah, they've made two appearances, yes,
and that was a great They had a shilling Randy Johnson.
Speaker 4: They had a heck of a rotation on that team. Man,
that was pretty cool team.
Speaker 2: Personally, my favorite Diamondbacks team should have been in the
World Series and they choked against the Rockies, and like
it was, it would have been the team. Uh it
was the year the Red Sox won.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they beat the Rockies or something the Rockies.
Speaker 2: They swept the Rockies. But that Arizona team was much
better than that Rockies team, and it was just the
Rockies got just white hot. I think that was Matt Holliday.
They won. They snuck into the wild card and yeah.
Speaker 3: Bischette and holiday, I believe, and it was holiday.
Speaker 2: It was Todd Helton Tulowitzki. Maybe I was all right, yeah,
really good.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 2: Anyway, we could remin this all day. I could sit
here and just talk about random, you know, baseball stuff
all day. But again we uh we went through wolf.
