Hello and welcome to talk and baseball. We had a wild, wild, wild game four. Let's talk about it. Hello and welcome to talk and baseball. My name's Jimmy. Sitting on the couch next to me is Jake. Trevor Plouffe joins us from California. Bug Bug Dude producing in the same game room as us as we sit here at the new Roosevelt Studios in Arlington.

which is nice. It's a couch. Different mics, different surround. So if we sound a little different, that's why. Trev, you got your regular old setup. You probably sound great. I'm nice and crispy back in the lab, baby. It feels good. It feels really good.

Jake, how are you doing? Guys, guys. Did you see that? Did you see that? Did they watch that game? Hell of a ball game. I heard some. people on different corners of the internet saying that baseball's hot in the streets.

Yeah. I tend to agree with them. An all-time game, the product was incredible with a hint of sloppy, with some beautiful baseball sloppiness, though. I don't think it's point at the camera time and call people not clutch or that guy's choke job, but it was just the craziest, one of the craziest baseball games of all times. time. John and I were in the building, which was awesome with Bug Bug, bug, bug, producer Zach as well, Trevor Plouf jealous from his home with this beautiful family,

which is fine. And yeah, man, just kind of a great night for baseball, kind of unreal, still trying to process it, tough to go to bed, tough to wake up and figure it out again. But excited to do it with all you beautiful people. And yeah, man, I, you know, I think it's interesting. We said on the pregame show yesterday we were talking about, which by the way, John, John was a, that final hit away from the best prediction of all time on the pregame show. I'm all over this series, Trev. And we're kind of, all of us are all over this series. I mean, the way this game ended up, Jakey Twitter predictions last night. So I'm, I'm rambling. I feel good. Baseball's hot in the streets.

Uh, hot. Hot. Hot. I mean, I, I wasn't there for the pregame show. What was the crazy prediction? It's not crazy. I just said that this game was going to be a back and forth shit show. He had the score.

You had seven, six. That last hit doesn't happen. I mean, it was. Yeah, I had seven, six. I had back and forth every inning, every pitcher giving up runs. That's how I said this game was going to go. I'm looking at the win probability chart. Yeah.

And when Brett Phillips was up, the Dodgers had an 81% win probability and after his at bat they had a 0% win probability because they lost the game. That was the big problem. I'll tell you what I think that the rest of this series is

starting pitcher versus starting pitcher and if you don't have a four run lead about the time you get to the bullpen you're fucked because bullpens are gassed. The race bullpen is so tired they're exhausted. They're

a shell of themselves. I can't believe some of the decisions they made. The Dodgers bullpen, Kenley now looks really bad. Two games in a row. And his interview, he was like, you know, you got to shake it off. Who's the guy from Moby Network that we kind of like? Amsinger. Amsinger said, you know, Kenley made some good pitches, but some bad ones.

I just watched every single pitch he made as I prepped for this breakdown. He didn't make any good pitches. He, his cutter wasn't really cutting and he was missing. Even his strikes were missed spots. So the Dodgers have a problem with Kenley, but they also have a Roberts problem. I don't think the Dodgers bullpen is as exhausted as the Ray's bullpen is. The Ray's best hitter, best bullpen pitchers are not able to come through like the way they are. The Dodgers, it's Roberts, man.

And we'll get into it after Jake's burn. But, you know, I guess I just have a lot of thoughts. I was going to keep going. Yeah. We'll see. Dave needs to, I mean, Dave has fresh bullpen heat for a few. refuses to use or leave in the game. It's like he has to make a move all the time,

has to make a move all the time, except when it's Kershaw going to the third round to order. So I have to talk about. Yeah, it's... Let's do it, dude. I'm craving the burn. The human body craves contact. I'd say the only other thing that's nuts is,

you know, a lot of those bullpen moves are going to get over-analyzed, and rightfully so to a degree. The Nick Anderson stuff is unbelievable, the fact you can still think you can trust him. But, man, like, there was a lot of lineup changes that became very impactful. Caleric comes in.

He faces a crew of lefties. That ended up kind of looking good by Roberts for a minute there. And then, I mean, you know, look at the raised top of that lineup had changed completely by the time that Kenley came in. So there's a little bit of check. and chess going on in live moments and for the future. So, I mean, just an all-time baseball game. Yeah.

Yeah, the Anderson. I was fighting with people on Twitter trying to tell me that, like, Anderson didn't even pitch bad. He didn't even get any fucking outs and what they're talking about. He did get some outs. Yeah, but I know he got some outs, but he got two outs gifted to him by the bunt attempt and the base running error. he went intent strikeout intentional walk single out on the base paths double gifted it out

bottom the bunn ground out so we got two outs like two legit outs i i don't i'm gonna disagree i i was watched him i thought he his stuff looked good yesterday in no i know this corey segar was just like a bloop hit but in no world in my pitching to cori segar with a base open right now. Yeah. He faced seven badgers. He said, like his bats are so good.

Doesn't matter who's on the mound. Like, just take the right on right platoon matchup, try to go after Turner. Like pitching to him doesn't make any sense there. You know, like I said, like he ended up getting a soft contact,

but like he just, to me, take your chances right on right. I think he looked pretty good. Now, is he gassed today? Probably. Like he hasn't looked like Nick Anderson

from, the regular season all postseason. But look, he's a guy that has to find a way. Like he's got to do something. He's got to. I haven't watched the replays like the crispness of Anderson's pitches. All I know is that he faced seven batters and he got two outs that weren't gifted to him.

And if Bellinger's not out at third and the seventh there and he has to keep pitching, I doubt it looks pretty. So I don't know what you do. I mean, he's now seven out of nine games. He's given up a run. I know. And six in a row.

Six straight. It's not good. And you bring him into a tied game of a near must win. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Burn is brought to you today by our most recent patrons, Zach Farnan, Joe Costa, Ivan, and Spencer Gibson.

That's a fun name, Scorny 20. So thank you for your support, and that's what that is, and let's get to the burn on your mark. Get set. And burn, Jakey Byrne.

Game four of the fall classic, the Dodgers, and Julio Jones Uriah's first appearances as Heroics against Atlanta versus the Rays and their friendly college pirate pitcher. Ryan Yard, bro, and essentially an elimination game for Tampa. Top one. How about Steve the Pirate? Justin Turner, solo Homer. In the third, Corey Seeger lights the cigar. Two-nothing Dodgers.

Hey, Rosa, Rina. Oh, Randy is the best ever. Rays cut the lead in half. Mad Max Muncie's Fury Road continues. with an RBI double out after a delightful hug at second with Willie Adomas. Running her hands through my fro, moon shot by Renfro, it's 3-2 in the Dodgers. Fortitude, Kike, do you love me? RBI double. Get low, get low from the home plate.

Oh, the wall, the wall. The rays get loud. Take a 5-4 lead, Brandon Lau. Buckle up. It's Jocktoberfest, huge two-run single. Off of Beelow's glove. Ah! Happy Thottom!

Kevin Kiermeier, hot. Yabo! Corey Topeng is another RBI hit. It's Dodgers 7 to 6. Bottom 9 runners on. Ken Lee on the bump. Brett Phillips at the dish in Phillips. Screw drives one in the right center.

Taylor boots it. Kiermeier scores. Muncie relay thrown a Roserade of Trips. He's dead to rights. Will Smith doesn't squeeze it. Rosie's score. The Rays win 8 to 7

They take game 4 An all-time classic Hell yeah All right Hell yeah It's an all-time classic Jake wrote that burn in like five minutes Guys got a talent

Got a skill talented Got a truck And got Panera for breakfast Bang Ad Ad Yeah I don't know man This game was nuts

Like Jake and I were watching it Zach was filming us, sending our thoughts to Kyle, who was posting him on the Twitter and stuff. So that was cool by them. Great job. But during one of those, when the raise took the lead, there's a clip. And I think Kyle asks us like, or Zach asked like, you know, do you think the raise have the lead now?

And I said, no, they still have to pitch Anderson. Yeah. And then Anderson came in. And Anderson comes in and gives up the runs. I think we got to go back. I think we got to cron pod this a little bit because there's so much to this game. There's so much to take it. Friend of the pod, Ryan Yarbril gets the start.

He ends up going 3.1, 2 earn run, 69 pitch. I mean, gross to grind a little bit. The two guys that clip him are Turner and Seeger, who go 4 for 5, both of them in this game. They're both out of control. They're both hunting the MVP trophy, as Jimmer was also alluding to with some of our live commentary. And then Eureas on the other side. He ends up 4.2, two earn runs, 9Ks. You know, I think him and Walker Bueller were the first starting pitchers to go back to back with 9 plus Ks since Clemens and L. Duque or something like that.

So, I don't know, some pretty craziness. And it's crazy looking back at this game now that, I mean, it didn't even feel like those guys were a part of, like, what happened in this game. Like, there was a first half of this game that was like, okay, the Dodgers kind of won three to two. and then everything, I mean, just went completely AWOL. Yeah, it was the sixth thing. That's right when I kind of got back and settled in. I was listening to the game on the radio, which is awesome to do. Like, if you ever just need to do that, I don't have a TV.

It's a lot of fun. I think I was listening to the Rays broadcast. They're fans of us. I sat down for the sixth inning. And it was, I mean, I've never seen a baseball game like that. Like the back and forth. The thing that was crazy, it was the two out, two strike hits. Yeah.

Like the Dodgers struck out 14 people. The Ray struck out six. They could not put away anybody. And you can have that pressure on your defense all game like that. And it was just like, Ray's score, Dodgers answer. Ray's answer. I was like, those games are like these guys are exhausted. today. They're going to have to wake up, figure something out to get going because that is a

mentally and physically draining game they just played. But if you're on the winning side, it is obviously exponentially different than when you're on the losing side. The Dodgers have to feel deflated today. And guess who's on the bump? Playoff Kirsch. The moment seems to find him a little bit. And state. tuned it right here this is like the thing like we're going to look back of the series think about that ninth inning Dave robbers is an idiot here we go game five Kershaw is going to be this is like my I'm more excited to see this than and anything else tune in to the talking baseball pregame show coming up in a little bit as as we preview that game so Jake and I were talking about you know

we joked like all right we'll go to sleep and then we'll wake up and we'll go right into the recap And it was like, yeah, we don't need the prep. We watched it. And then we joked like, no, so much happened. And while you're at the game, it's a little hard to see pitches, a little hard to, like, really, like, stay up to date because you don't have the graphic as it is live. And I'm going through the changes here and remembering them.

Yeah. And Roberts, and then, like, it's during, at the moment, people were giving them a lot of shit. I just wasn't, like, didn't give my full mind time actually think through it and now I am and it's like what the fuck Roberts he was both sides both sides I think were really bad yesterday trying and strikes out meadows on three pitches is one out away from ending the six no no no okay there's two on and one out but what but then like bringing in by as he gives up the home run right away then in the post game he said that he told bias he was done

and then I'm guessing because the Dodgers took the lead back That's exactly what happened He was like oh never mind by as you're back in Which like a you brought him into a situation with inherited runners Which he's so bad at I think every inherited runner he's ever had in the postseason has now scored So maybe don't bring him in with a muddied up infield and then to tell your pitcher you're done and then to stand him back up and be like now you're back in

I mean you got to be fucking kidding me and then he gives up the home run to Keirmeyer and now the game's tied again so like that's crazy the bias stuff is unreal Roberts with the quote after the game makes it even more unreal I can't be a dot I can't imagine being a Dodgers fan having seen some of Pedro Baez's playoff track where you're going to be going through that.

That was unreal. And I think, you know, Jim, you're pointing to fatigue a lot. And I think there's a little bit of that on the race side. But the one guy who couldn't point that to was Castillo, who he came in. He didn't look that great. Let's be honest, everybody got knocked around. And I don't know if it's just one of those baseball games where basically whoever came in. I mean, the two guys on the raise that didn't give up runs were the sidewine,

Ryan Thompson and John Curtis at the end, who holy smokes, does he deserve some love for keeping that game tighter? And then for the Dodgers, it's Calerick, who goes the point two, and he finds that nice little lefty lane, which seemed like pretty good managing. Calerick had him pitched in 10 days or so, which for a sidewinder and you come out with a four-pitch walk, you start to get worried. The biggest one that you have to circle, and our Dodgers fans were hitting us up on this, is Bruce Stark Gratterol. Seven pitches, point one inning. The guy that

debatably has the best stuff in this series, he just joined the 102 mile per hour club, which is a very exclusive baseball society. The stadium was rocking when Bruce Star comes in. All the Dodger fans started doing the boom and getting the arms going,

and he's just... I had so much fun watching people again. Oh, the people in the crowd were great. Society, like, figure it out, wear a mask and stuff so we can do more stuff because it was just nice being among society again. But dude, there was something special. And when Brewster was in for both sides, because what you did was you watch the pitch, Bruce Star would pump it, your head would turn to the scoreboard, 99.

Okay, okay. What's the next one? And I mean, that's the one that you just absolutely have to circle after this, that it's like how in this shit show of a game was Bruce Star only given that leash. I don't know why. We've talked about this on this show many times. Dave Roberts.

Yeah. Very good person from all accounts. It seems like a setup. He has. He's very trusting of his guides. And he can't get over the fact. I mean, yes, Kenley Janssen's been doing it for a long time. Clayton Kirshod is one of the best pitchers ever.

Okay, but you can't, it's now. Like, we're living in the present. Okay, we have numbers. We have our eyes. Like, Jansen was good for what? One or two outings. Coming into the postseason, they were like, I'm not, he's like, I don't know who's going to get the last out.

We're going to figure it out as we go. That's where it's weird. Like Roberts had that quote that I put a lot of stock into. Jantan had a few good outings. And boom, he's right back in there. And like, and Kershaw had only thrown seven pitches. Kershaw had a good start last. time, didn't he? Guess what's going to happen today? I know we're going off from the second

game again or the next game, but when the third time through the order comes up with the raise, Dave Roberts is going to have to make a decision and we'll see what he does today. But like, he's too trusting. Like, you've got to see Brewster just going absolutely nuts. Like, he looks great. Have Ken Lee ready and roll Bruce Star right back out. And that's not even a hindsight thing. That's like, dude, like this guy's now. nasty and the other team looks deflated when he comes in the game. But just start your good pitchers. Let's tighten up some Roberts' terribleness because I don't want to crush him the whole time.

No. He does deserve it a little bit, but this is also a great game. The other thing, the Kike Hernandez-Bunt, oh my God. And again, you talk about you just, there's something to feel in baseball. And hey, I'm like team Bunt. That Austin Barnes Bunt the other day, I love that. still a role. Analytics still hasn't fully figured it out. Kike Hernandez, who has the clutch hit earlier in the game, he's got a clutch postseason history. I know you can't quantify him.

Let him swing that stick. Let him try to end this game instead of you've got Anderson on the ropes who's been horrendous the past six appearances giving up runs. And you're going to do that to both of them, basically. You're going to hook up Anderson and you're going to take the bat out of Kike's hands. I mean, unreal. Unreal. decision. Yeah, Anderson ended the inning before on an RBI single, out on the base paths, then he comes back out, gives up a double right away, and then you gift him another out. All these

raised pitchers got gifted outs. Muncie out at second on the base paths. Belli, out at third on the base paths. Kike, bunting. Earlier, there was like a little trying to beat the shift that Yarborough caught. I don't know if that was a nice play. By design that he was trying to beat the shift or if it was just a weird off the bat. Yeah, that was a squibber off the bat.

A squibber off the bat. It was a nice play by Yarbara. And the belly one, I do think Belly was trying to get the throw over there to get another run to score, which in hindsight, you know, the way this game played out. That doesn't make it any easier for Fairbank or Anderson, though. No, but you're trying to get that run home. I mean, we see guys do that. It's still a gift.

They're gifted and out for a run. For a run, yeah. Yeah. I think they make that trade. That's how you get 27 runs, if you do it right? It's a great move by the Dodgers. It also, the, the, the race pitching. had gifted outs a lot.

Right. If I'm still on, I'm still team, and Dodgers fans aren't with me when I did this speech two days ago and I said Dodgers fans, you don't have anything to worry about. I got a lot of love from Dodgers Nation

because they agreed with me. They're not going to agree because they're in panic mode. Dude, the Rays needed you to make so many errors. The Rays had like three outs that the pitchers didn't, the pitchers didn't earn those outs. This was, a magical, magical, awesome game.

As long as Roberts gets his head out of his ass, it's the Dodgers in six still. Jim, Jim, you said it. You just said it. A magical game. Put some magic sprinkle, some magic fairy dust on the series.

The rays were defeated. Yeah. They were done. You gave them life. They are going to come out today. Yeah, I don't know. It's like. Thinking they can win the world series.

They didn't think that going into yesterday. Yeah. Like they, they, like you said, they got that game almost gift wrapped. You have to give credit to them for fighting back. But they,

they're a different team now. They were like holding the race hostage and then like check their gun for bullets and shot themselves in the face. And the rays were like, okay, we're free now. I mean, that last play is so bad,

Trev, on every level. It's incredible. On every level. It still should have been a tied game. game. Yeah, was tied up

and Kenley's still on the rope so you don't know. But, I mean, Randy should have never been sent home. Uh, even if he doesn't trip.

I don't know. Yeah, does he, did he go back and look like that. I checked. Even if he, he, he,

he, by the time Taylor had the ball in shallow left field. Yeah, he was. Randy hadn't touched third base yet. He got sent to. He did.

He got sent. He got sent. He got sent. Oh. Even if he didn't, um, even if he didn't, um, even if he didn't stumble.

He was just a collection of bad. It was a giant collection of bad. Yes and no, yes and no, because it's also baseball. It's also the beauty of baseball. It's also the third base coach seeing that Chris Taylor, who doesn't play a ton of center field, babbled the ball. And he loses all his momentum. You know, when we normally see a throw from that part of center field,

it's a guy crow hopping into it, they field and gather. Taylor bobbles it. He scoops it again. And then, yes, I mean, pure chaos ensues. I mean, you see Max Muncie and MLBTV. did a really good job on this. When Muncie turns and relays, he sees that a Rosarena's tripped, so he feels like he doesn't peg the ball.

So it almost looks like a change up out of his hands. It almost looks like he pronates it, trying to aim the ball home to Will Smith, because Roserane is dead to right. It's not a great throw. It's still there, Will Smith. And Smith doesn't grab it, because he's trying to make the speed catcher tag.

I mean, it's, it was a beauty of baseball. It's sloppy, and it's not. necessarily great baseball, but I do think it's beautiful baseball. That's why baseball is a fucked up sport. I want to add to that and I got another point I want to make about the bun. So yeah,

when you're Muncie and your, what was he, 20, maybe 30 feet away and you're spinning. Yeah, maybe 30. Dead. When you're spinning like that and you got to throw home, 30 feet is, it's a saw, it's like a touch throw. And in

that moment, he didn't have any touch. he just threw it as hard as he could in there. I mean, that's a tough play for Will Smith. It's a really tough play for him. But the Bunt thing, I want to kind of want to go back to that. It's not a real. What are we doing? It's not a real tough play for Will Smith.

If you're a catcher and you think that's a bang, bang, bang. Hammer that thing in. And he thought he'd have to hammer the tag back the other way. And like, if you would have seen him trip, yeah, then he sets up and make sure he catches the ball. He's like, shit, I have to make a tag right now. Leverage. high leverage, like pressure's high. I mean, I think if you redo

that throw to Will Smith, I would guarantee he catches it nine out of ten times. I just, when you're that close and you're whipping it around, it's not easy, no matter what. Because you're not expecting the ball to go to your throwing hands side, having to reach all the way over.

You're expecting a good throw. Yeah, I know, but... It's tough. But the Bunt thing to me was the the worst decision made in the game last night. Like you said, Anderson on the ropes. Choi is down Kike's throat. Yeah.

Because you can do that with a runner on second base. The first base, or Anthony Rizzo does this all the time. You can be down your throat. So now you can only bunt in one spot. I mean, you have to get the bunt to third base anyway there, but sometimes if you get it out in front of the plate too, that works, not in this situation. And Choi is right there ready to make the play.

You have to make the third baseman come in. And look, the bottom line is you just don't practice bun. How many sack buns to Kika have this year? Can we look that up, BBD? It can't be a lot. I'd lean zero or one. The game with Austin Barnes,

the first and third, that's an edding you will run. Like, that's still a play. Like, if you're okay with a sack fly, you're okay with doing that. That's a tough play for the defense. That bunt play right there is not a tough play for the defense. That's stuff you've been doing your entire life.

The first and third thing is a new thing. Who invented that Madden, I think, did? What are we talking about? That's a good baseball play. This giving up and out Kiki thing is, this is why people say never bunn. And you know I'm not on that fence. I believe there are times for buns.

That is not a time for a bun. He has zero since 2018. Don't know about postseason, but regular season zero since 2018. But he had four of that. Zero since 2018, you're facing a guy that throws, you know, he was throwing up in the zone because that's what you also do

when your guys are bunting. Just so you can get what happened, exactly what happened. You pop the guy up and you get a free out. It was that decision. And maybe it wasn't even Roberts. Maybe Kiki did that on his own. We don't know.

I mean, did they say afterwards? I doubt it. You think Kike's doing that on his own with G-man down his throat? way. I don't know. I do not know. It's crazy to think that they would make a guy who hasn't bunted since 2018

do it in the World Series for the first time in that situation. It's just, in the Razor known for their defense. It's, that was worse than any, any move all night. Yeah. And yeah, Jim, I know you're talking about the, you know, the Dodgers had to have a handful of errors and, you know, that last play. couple of the things that happened, the base running. And the Dodgers did dominate this game.

They had 10 left on base. The Rays finished with five left on base. Like the raise had to push a lot of the right buttons. I will say the one play that I think will get missed from this series slash when our kids get together and they're watching old baseball games 30 years from now, the Brandon Lowe dive where Jock Peterson's ball went off the top of his glove. I mean, my soul left my body for a little bit. I thought that was the end.

I thought that was going to be the difference for the raise because if he squeezes that, it would have been the first stop in a while. And it's a tough play, but I think Brandon Lau makes that more than 50% of the time. And after he hit the home run, that was the inning after. So, you know, I think if you're the raise,

like what you're saying is right, the Dodgers are still the dominant alpha team in this series. But the raise didn't necessarily play a perfect game themselves. So I do think they're feeling the magic and feeling the buzz a little bit and it's going to be wild to see how that does translate

tonight. Yeah, is Snell pitching? Like they got Snell up. It's Glassnell-Nall tonight? Glass-nell-Kershaw. Yeah, people were talking like that's a bad thing. I don't think that was a bad thing because who else were they going to go to? Kershaw-Glassnow is

what I'm seeing in the pre-event. You couldn't, they didn't have anybody else to pitch. you know, if they tie the game up and it keeps going, like, I'm okay with using Snell there and you've got to figure it out. But you can't go down three to one. Well, before we give our final thoughts, let me tell you something about something.

What you're watching there, Jim? Watching the Brandon Lau catch. Because I thought it would have been like a diving catch. The thing that gets me is it skims off the top of the glove. Like, that's in the web if he opens it up. He said 50%

of the time, I, I, I think that's, if he makes that play, I think it's a highlight, like highlight. It's kind of a bad dive. If they're not in the shift, he has zero chance to catch that. They're in the shift, but he's one step over the wrong way. It's like, you know, it's just baseball,

man. The whole game was baseball. How about Renfro and Kiermeier hitting solo homers. What sick puppies. And Randy going deep in. Doing it, man. Did you see my tweet the guy in front of me, Trev, when Mookie made that nice catch? Yeah.

Just pointed out my shirt and said, If you love baseball, and then pointed at Mookie, that's baseball. We had a good rowdy fan in front of us. Good L.A. coach is whistling, screaming. Dude, I love, I love COVID. seating. No one in front of us, no one behind us,

no one to our left, no one to our right. Except everyone's mad at us because we had our mask down on our reaction video. But those people came into our space. I didn't even know that lady was right behind me. Yeah.

The seats are zipped tied up. So she wandered over behind us. And I'm fucking hot as shit. So I'm going to have my mask down so you can see my face. Yes, that's what everyone wants. Well, like we put it up when we walked around.

and when we were sitting, just the four of us with the gaps in front and behind into left and right. Anytime we knew we were near people, we had it on. Yeah. Every time.

The whole point of the seating is that it's like okay to take it off at times. It was like the idea behind. Eating and drinking, you know? Smoking. All right. Dude, did you, can we... Hot-dogan?

Can we tell them the sweet we went into? Yeah, we can flex. We, uh, we, there's no security at this stadium at all, Trev. Like, like, honestly, there's no security. It's very odd. There's no one, like, checking your tickets to make sure you're in the right section. There's no one saying you can't go here, you can't do that.

The one amendment I have to what you're about to say, the one bit of security that was very strict. No bags at all allowed. Yeah, no bags at all. Which they did not tell people, but yet. If you're going to the game, don't bring a bag. So anyway, we walked right into Roblo's suite. said what up to our talking baseball guest friend him him and his son matt i fucked us because they're both beautiful men and if you look into their eyes you get you just get pregnant rob low's eyes

like i walked in you just i'm pregnant he was asking me about if i pay someone to do my lip reading for me and then i we were talking about the stadium and he's just piercing trav you would have been proud of me uh because like they had the whole spread the buffet out and i like i thought about just empty in the tank just going for it. There was some sushi. There's some nice treats. I held back. I held back. I was respectful. We saw Uncle Rob. Yeah, that's what I was getting to.

And the suite right next to the lows. Did you tell him if he keeps expanded playoffs next year and the DH without, oh, he can't do that. But the expanded playoffs and the base runner on second next running is tell him to stop. Didn't it come up organically is what I'll say. I think a lot of people agree the expanded

playoffs is bad. At least baseball people do. It's pretty BVD, producer BBD and Manfred like clock dies and I saw BVD like his eyes were trying to look outside of his eyes like do I keep looking? Do I like do I scream?

Like what am I supposed to do right now? Did he see you guys? He 1,000 percent knows what you guys look like you're on like that board like people. I don't think he knows who we are at all. It's Bigfoot, Gomboy and Batman on their life. He saw my sweatshirt and BBD shirt and both said,

I love baseball. And he looked at him and just shot us a hard, nah. Triggered. Not me. How? Yeah, he's like, actually,

I don't. I don't. No, his setup is cool. Yeah, dude, he's got Jimmy's dream set up. Two monitors right in front of him. Like,

where a normal person would put their feet on the railing in front of them, because they're front row of a suite, he has two monitors there. The only shitty part about his setup, but I guess he likes this, is that he has headphones and he listens to the broadcast and has like the broadcast feed

and then like the park feed. Of course he does. Of course he does because why would he want to watch the fucking game in the moment? Why would you do that? He just wants to make sure that they're probably not shit talking him

and representing the game well. Yeah. Well, you know, I don't want to talk poorly. I don't know. I had a much better time listening to the game on the radio than I do watch.

watching the game. John Smolz tried to say Willie Adama should have caught that ball. What ball? The seeger over here. Okay, so there was, um, the blooper over his head. Who, who, who hit that? I think it was Seeger. It was Seeger. Jam shot. Yeah. Okay. What, what he was doing was, look, because Rob, you know, didn't do anything to the Astros, everyone's still worried about, you know, sign stealing and, you know, they had a guy in second base. So Willie was going in front of Taylor there and then getting back to his position. John Smoltz

tried to set it up that Willie wasn't back at his position in time and that's why he didn't get to that ball. While he was giving his spiel, they showed the replay. Willie was clearly set before the ball was thrown. He did take one step in

but then went back. But the ball was literally 20 feet past him. Yeah, it's not close. It wasn't. even close and John Smoltz was like trying to make some it was like you know Jim you say like when a reporter has his story already in mind he tries to bait you into answering the way he wants you to it was the exact same thing but John Smoltz was trying to say williamis messed that up and then the replay comes and it's like no it wasn't even close John I don't get about smoltz and buck and I don't

listen and I um that's just my personal thing so like like you say like you'd rather the radio just put the radio on watch it you know Like, I would have never listened to those guys. I like Buck. But they, just the style. The style of it I don't enjoy. Like the nothingness of it. Like no surface level talk.

No sway this way or the other. No opinions. That's what like calling a big league game kind of is now. It's like, well, this is nothing. This is, and they should do this. I don't know how they don't already do this. Give you your whole announcers. You have Fox filming the game.

Yeah. You should have home. and away announcers or neutral announcer. That's how hard. Especially because that's what this entire season was. It was one camera crew and two announcers because they couldn't leave. Like give Dodgers fans their home announcers that know the most about the Dodgers and give the raise fans their home announcers and just make it like when ESPN does ESPN

and then statcast just, you know, do so different versions of Fox. Fucking charge extra for it if you want to make some money because I would pay. Everyone would. Every baseball fan would. Yeah. And ain't that it? No way he would have caught that. People were going crazy when Buck had to do football.

He couldn't do the game, right? Is that today? It happened in the... I think that happened. I think he's staying World Series. And I agree. I don't care. Joe Buck is fine to me.

It's almost like I don't even hear him talk because he just like I've heard him so much. like it doesn't even like register in my brain anymore. But it would be nice to have, yeah, like if you're rude, if you're an L.A. person watching the game, it would be awesome to have your own broadcasters. Have Joe Davis and Trevor Plouf in the booth just talking about it. Let's go.

Get me out of that booth. I want to be part of it. Halo fan girls talking about the angels are in the World Series. That'll probably never happen. But Guizza, that's my guy. Do you guys know Mark Guizzaa, Broadcaster for the Angel. He's the color guy.

We have an exchange pleasantries. He was, he coached against me in high school. He's the high school coach of our rival high school. Oh. Yeah. And him and I like had some unpleasantries. Love that.

During our time there. Yeah. But I love them. Perfect. All right. I don't know if we have any more. I mean, an exhausting game.

Really fun to be at. All time. We'll be there for game six. We're doing it. We're doing it all today, right? I'm ready. We're doing preview, pregame. We're streaming.

Yeah, this stream seems to be going well, so hopefully that you can join the stream for the game. We'll see what the delay is. You have DVR at the place? Can you please pause it for me? I don't know if we do. I don't know. We've got Direc TV.

We might be able to. But because we're on direct TV, we might be timed up better with you. Do you have DVR? I do. Okay. We don't know if we do yet. But it's a pause.

Show over here, baby. I got pause forward. Let's everyone pause it and we'll do a midnight rewatch. I'm excited, dude. I can't wait. I was not happy that I didn't get to participate as much as I wanted to in the first couple of games. Your camping trip might have to become an annual like ALDS camping trip. Well, dude, no.

I'll explain it to the listeners because it does seem like a really stupid fucking thing. It's beautiful. It's a camping trip we go on every year. It's family. It's very important to me. It's why I don't try to play baseball more because I'm home with my family. This was the only week. I begged not to go this week.

I begged. It was the only week that everybody else could make it. You've been going on a scamming trip your whole life? My entire life. So every year when the twins would not make the World Series, you were kind of like, thank God. We always watch the world. We always watched, I mean, not every single year,

but the majority of years I'm watching the World Series like when I'm camping. That's awesome. Yeah, I had an excited thought, Jake. And then we got to get going to wrap it up. But it was very excited to be at this World Series. What's BBD giggled? BPD just giggled. Quentin said, Trevor flexing by having a family.

Oh. It works. Yeah. Oh. Also, Shaw McLaughlin with a huge bullet into my heart right there. Thanks for that. Yeah, Jimmy was going for that bullet. Yeah, I kind of missed it.

You missed it. So it's a team bullet. Yeah. Trevor, do you have been allowed to miss the camping trip if you were playing in the World Series or never became a question? Treve,

if the Twins made the World Series, would your family have canceled the camping trip to go watch you in the World Series or would they have been like, sorry, you at the campsite. Sorry, Trev, we'll watch you at the campsite.

Most of them probably would have won camping. Anyway, I had, we're very lucky. I was going to use the word blessed, but I don't really like that word. We're very lucky to have the support that we've had growing this company

and to be able to go to the World Series as part of like a job and a gig is really cool and get this house and content and I had a thought Jake like I was like wow we just saw a World Series Ender that is like all time like a crazy like it doesn't have a name yet

but I feel like it's going to have a name and then I thought shit this is our job we we might see a lot of World Series games over the next 20 years or whatever and then I was like this is I'm in already locked it up.

This is amazing. That's the goal. So thanks to everyone that listens and makes this doable because hopefully you enjoy the content while we're there. We did figure out a crazy way to get our live reactions synced up with game feed out like five minutes after it happens. That technology and the hard work by Zach and Kyle was crazy. EBD, Zach, Kyle, Robbie.

Everybody on the social was going nuts yesterday doing really well. well. And short king Buster Only. He said game 6, 2011, best world series game ever,

Game 7, 2016, epic. Game 6, 1886, unbelievable, Billy, through the legs.

And then he said, Game 4, 2020, the craziest world series game ever. So that's Buster only, man. That's, you know,

he's not a guy that just throws around the word epic. Yeah. So. Maybe he's, maybe he, this is the start.

Epic. Dude, get me the short kings in a room in a reaction vid. Could you imagine Buster and Kirkgin watching that final play?

Epic. Epic's such a funny word. Can I just throw this out just a little dagger? Okay. Because I saw this on Twitter and I, so I'm stealing it,

but I thought it was, it's perfect for the moment. Oh, are you talking about that model that dressed up as the crazy old guy that caught the home run in game one? That guy's really good looking.

Sorry, dagger time. Yeah, anyways, dagger. I heard that guy's pregnant, by the way. Yes. People are talking about the 2014 world series. You guys remember what happened? Alex Gordon was stranded on third base. And someone brought up the fact,

Randy shouldn't have been sent there, but he got sent in the... Ray's winning that game. What happens if you send Gordon? Do they go back to back? That's baseball, though. Those little decisions, putting pressure, so many things, man. I just, I was so happy watching that game.

Like, I was screaming in my house, you know, jumping up and down. It was. Buster only retweeted that tweet himself. He sent it out last night and just knew it was it. I've done that on breakdown. I'm like, this deserves more love. Trevor, coolest text exchange you had last night. Were you talking to Flaherty, Freed, any of the Youngbloods,

Phil Hughes pulling cards, and any baseball people? I don't even know. I had a bunch of texts, but I don't even know. Flex. One of the texting with our guy, Jack Davis, was pretty good. Oh, man. He called us while we were walking home from the stadium. He is a hot pot of coffee right now.

I like this. I like the game watching of the. the stadium. Like I don't, like, you know, I think all the ancillary non-field and views is probably bad, but I never cared about that stuff. Like, it is more mall than stadium when you walk around the concourse. It's kind of nuts. But once you're sitting in your seat and watching the game and the viewpoint, I thought it was fine and good.

So. But people judge stadiums on, like, food. Yeah, I don't, I don't know. It's weird because everyone. wants the stadium to be about the game, but then I feel people judge stadiums about the non-game stuff. The view from the outside kind of sucks, but once you're inside watching the game, it was cool. I thought it was good.

Yeah. Except it took BBD. They ran out of boomsticks, so we didn't have any. Took me in exactly 20 minutes to find out they don't have it. I like that shirt, Trev. I don't have that version. I never bought that. one for myself. That's tidy. I like it. That's right, baby. All right. This, uh, important the company.

This has been more of a postgame show for the patrons anyway, but we'll, we'll say goodbye to everyone. Love you guys. Love you. Goodbye. We'll be live for game five from, uh, Roosevelt Studios, Arlington, and then we will be back at game six. Exciting times.
