Hello and welcome to talking baseball. The Braves are going to the World Series to face off against the Astros. How about it? Let's talk baseball. Hello and welcome to talking baseball brought to you by Draft Kings. My name is Jimmy. I got Trevor in California and BBD in the corner behind the dish. Jake is out stomping grapes with his gal on this Sunday.

morning and you know what hats off to jake trev because you've missed a couple of these postseason runs i've missed a couple because i got pregnant wife and a lot going on i think this is the first episode jake's missed and he's commuting to the office for almost every single one just like bbd no bigger hats off to bd but great job by jake holding it down for us in the rock that allows us to get some days off so if he wants to go stomp grapes go stomp some grapes i'm happy that he's getting to stomp grapes. We're also wondering who wants to drink the wine that comes from the grapes that Jake's disgusting feet were in.

I don't know, man. I think, you know, the wine that you're drinking, I don't know if pristine feet are stomping those. What kind of wine is getting the feet stomping? That's not all wine. Is that just something they do for Taurus? Maybe. I don't want foot wine. I'm going to put that out there.

It feels like you can just drop like a dumbbell in there and stomp the grapes now. bigger technology. Anyway. How you doing? The Braves did it. The Braves did it. Eddie Rosario did it. The Braves bullpen did it.

Which might be the most wrong thing I've ever said. Because I said that after I said the Brewers bats made the Braves bullpen look better than it was. The Braves bullpen is, I mean, we'll get into that. Trev is going to burn. Oh my God.

Jake wrote a burn sent it to Treve. So, you know, we'll get into that. And then tell me. Tomorrow or, yeah, tomorrow, BPD, we'll do a World Series preview up with Jake. Yeah, it depends if you want to do Monday or Tuesday. I think Monday, we has all Tuesday for people to catch up too. Yeah, I lean that we do it tomorrow. Tuesday we might know more, but like we can put.

Tuesday, we might have more info. We'll, we'll figure that out. We'll decide on that later. Well, it looks like then we're going to have one day off, either Monday or Tuesday, whichever day we don't do yeah oh look out this was the first time i think we've done like 23 days straight that was that was what it looked like it was like well if we do this 23 days straight so thanks everyone's been tuning in that's amazing the numbers are great we're growing people are hanging out with us a lot so shit we love it too we'll do more can i let you gloat trev can i

can i can i gloat for you what a prediction there's some people out there in the the world that, you know, go over, went over. Some people have premonitions that they, uh, stand by and they get, they get those wrong. March 31st, Mm-hmm. Braves over Astros. That's, I tweeted, I don't even care if you're wrong on that. Like if you're right on that, I think you kind of get burned at the stake, but the fact that you got the two teams right is awesome. You know, I'm, I'm going to do a little deep dive into my text to see where my head was at on March.

31st what was I doing what put me in that headspace I know we did all the TPPs so there was a little bit of like you know knowledge but it's a pretty lucky guess basically pretty badass though it's pretty badass and you know I'm kind of king of like predicting things that may or may not come true and people really like that and they share them so I don't even necessarily have to get it right like like you're saying like Marty there pretty cool um yesterday so this is my home desk area

I got a awesome brand new desk you can't see it but those doors I'm going to cover up with a giant bookshelf right so I get some decor back here and uh I need stuff to put on there so I was on eBay uh buying tons of Trevor ploof memorabilia yesterday I have on it it's way to me. Trevor Plouf, Tops card. Mm.

Okay. 18 card card. Trevor Plufe baseball card lot. Wow. Trevor Plouffe Skywalker Star Wars Bobblehead. And your Rochester Red Wings Bobblehead.

Classic. Classic. I tried to get Peter Moyland Bobblehead, Jerry Blevins, Bobbed, but they didn't get bobbleheads. I guess really levers don't get bobbleheads. I bet you could, Maybe you're right. I tried not an eBay.

Chris Rose probably has a bobblehead out there. Ooh, that's a fun one. It probably does, right? You got a bobblehead, don't you? No, we don't have bobbleheads. Yeah. Oh, no. That's Chris Harrison holding a rose from The Bachelor.

David Cohn's probably got a bobblehead. Or when did bobblehead start? I feel like bobbleheads are old, Jim. They're older than I would expect them to be. I think they're like 1900s old. Like, I mean, not 1900s. like early 1900s. That seems like something

like a porcelain bobblehead. Google's telling me 1960, but that's just the automatic Google answer. So that doesn't necessarily... That's still older than I would have thought. You would have thought...

David Cohn's got some fucking cool bobbleheads from his perfect game when he's on his knees. Like as a stud. Yeah. So anyway, I got a bunch of Trevor Ploof. Remember you're like coming. I love that, Jim.

Hey, you know what I did this morning? Mm-hmm. It's cold out here now. I lit a fire. Oh. And I know you guys are like most people here like, oh, sweet, dude. But like, you don't light fires in California, especially Southern California. Is Southern California getting rain?

Because I know Northern California is getting pounded right now, which is great. And the Sierra is supposed to get a bunch of snow. Yeah. Tomorrow is supposed to hit down here. Today it's not supposed to rain. Yeah, we have some real wood fireplaces that, I don't think you can build them in Southern California anymore. I'm pretty sure you can't have wood burning fireplaces anymore.

Yeah, I was around a fire pit yesterday. It's just end up smelling like too much smoke for me. I'm playing disc golf today, so that's exciting. I want to get into this? Do you want to burn it? Are you ready? Like, I think I'm ready. I don't know.

Well, it's brought to you and us and me. It's brought to BPD. It's brought to all the listeners by dugout mugs. Dougout mugs on the last stream that we did told Jake and I, you know what? You don't have to read our copy. If you guys think you can do better on your own, just do it on your own. So the first dugout mugs ad read on the last live stream,

pretty good times. And then the third ad stream, I wonder if dug out mugs changed course on the third one, BPD because the third one was when Jake said, if you buy a mug from dugout mugs you save a turtle because dugout mugs is in the business of torturing turtles i think it's they kill one less turtle for every for every mug that gets sold uh which you know not confirmed but just to be safe so i don't know if dugout mugs enjoyed when they told us just to write whatever ad read we want

have they said anything i haven't heard after the first they're awesome people they love us but after the first one they uh they love they like love the first one we sang a song i don't know if we got a response to the uh dug out of the turtle people said anything got to worry about the turtle people oh i don't know but dugout mugs uh they're letting you get a knob shot shot glass for free at dugout mugs dot com slash talk can you just pay the shipping is that still the same one i i pulled up the read from today bd it's changing i think i think it's not that one anymore i believe they're starting however many days ago it was the next thousand orders get a free nobshot with that, not even the shipping costs are added to it.

Okay. So we're probably getting close there. So get it in quick. Co-John, it was a 35% off. 35% off. It's there better than Black Friday discount. And if you're in the first thousand, which we're going to be coming up on, you get an op shot just sent with you for free.

Yeah. So there you go. I think every industry is having shipping issues. You get it done now and make sure it gets there. The furniture industry is having so many shipping. issues we finally got it's like a big problem it is it's what dude i haven't ordered anything a while this isn't a side but i was talking to our friends at um um stuff grass fed burgers who worked with us and i went and got a burger with him and i was just chatting and uh my favorite burger is the

brisket burger and he's like ah we don't have it like those that that that line of shipping's down he's like same with onion rings like there's an onion ring shortage now i'm like man and we and him and I were talking about how like the logistics of the whole world no one knew how fragile they were but like one link just gets stopped and the whole thing

it's kind of it was kind of eye opening all the pandemic stuff that's a deepest side I guess but order now I get it in time for your holiday gifts code John boy at dugout mugs.com 35% off it's beautiful. All right. let's hear the music. Oh, my God.

Hold on. Is going to burn Jake's burn. Jake wrote it. Trev is performing it. Here. God, the text is so small. Game seven vibes for a game six in Atlanta, potential elimination game for the Dodgers.

Mad Max Scher was scratched due to tiredness. Been there, but LA still had a good chance to Walker away, victorious with Bueller on the mound. after three days off. Meanwhile, Atlanta will leave their fate in the hands of the last Ion, Ion Anderson and his sex pot beard, trying to bring ATL to the World Series.

Bottom one, I like my peaches on the hot corner, young fit, it. Round rule, double two bases for each one of those juicy honey hands. Rumbling in his pants, I wish I could play a game of quarters up that rum roast. One, nothing graves top. Four. It's stoner bashing time. That's Cody. Bellies one-up. RBI single ties it at one's bottom of the inning cat scratch fever. Eddie Rosario, I've seen him in the shower I have, actually. Three-run ding-dong off of Bueller, great A-B. That was, I do want to talk about that A.B. James, 4-1, Braves, and we're going bonkers in Buckhead.

Top seven the Dodgers are rallying. AJ Pollock breaks his bat, but he's good at breaking things. RBI double, great 4 to 2 to make it. 4 to 2. Ducks on the pond. I don't know. I don't know this song. I'm sorry Luke Jackson, but Matt Sack is real.

Strikes out three hitters to get out of the jam. I haven't showered with him, but I'd like to. And I bet he has a big set of balls on them. Braves go eye on to mentor to Jackson to Mattock to Will Smith as they'll dance all night in the streets to the break of dawn. They're going to the World Series where they'll face the fucking Astros. I think that was a song. I missed that one up. Braves win the game 4 to 2.

The series 4 to 2. No narrative here. The Braves advance to the World Series. Burn, baby, burn. Great job, Trev. I didn't realize. I missed a few songs, man. I didn't realize he Taylor made it to you.

you with all that shower stuff. Hall of breaking things. The last one, hold on. I don't know what that song is, but they're going to the World Series where they face the fucking Astros. Dance all night in the streets to the break of dawn.

They're going to the World Series where they'll face the fucking Astros. Yeah, I don't know. I know the Dance All Street to the Break of Dawn. Yeah. That was funny, man. Golly. I felt like, you know,

you can kind of get into your inner Jake. I think everyone has an inner Jake in them. What's going? on bakers. I rewatched the episode where you filled in for Jake on Wake and Jake pretty recently. It's good stuff. Just a 25 minute Jake impression. Yeah, that was funny.

It is exhausting. It is exhausting. Cat scratch fever. Eddie Rosario! I've seen him in the shower. That's my Jake impression. Great part. I like my peaches on the hot corner young thick ground rule double two bases for each one of those juicy honey hams he has rumbling in his pants

man all right you say you want to talk about that at bat i uh after we finish this and before i go play discop i think i'm going to try and uh i have the breakdown like the footage done because i don't know what bueller was doing like in that at bat with Rosario the three-run Homer and obviously Walker Bueller wins best friend of the year. We've had him on the show. He doesn't care about us, but we like him. Cutters is second most used pitch,

Trev, but I mean, it's almost like he didn't, it's almost like him nor Will Smith read Eddie Rosario's body language or swings at all. They just showed it too much, man. They get the two quick strikes, right? I think it was 02,

two cutters. And then they try to go up and away with the two seamer. And they did that once and it was a ball out of the hand. And Eddie was kind of flinching at it. So you knew it was a good pitch

if he put it where he wanted to. Then they go back in with the cutter and Eddie has a good swing at that one. And I thought you could have went either way. You could have went back to the two seam up again. But that's a more traditional route. show them up there, come back in. Then they went back with it again, the two seamer, that he fouled off.

And then I thought that was their time to go back with it again. But through the cutter again. And Eddie just was right there to it. Like he saw it, what, five times? Yeah, BPD, I don't know if you're able to take this. I sent you a link. It doesn't come up the right way. If you change the app bat to at bat number 35, if you scroll down and then put that on

screen. It shows you, I wonder if a screenshot would have worked better. It shows you the pitching. And I mean, it's one, two, three, one, two, three, four, five cutters, belt high. All in the same spot. Two right down the middle and then three on the inside. And yeah, in the breakdown, I'm kind of going to slow it down and just like really show pitch by pitch because the first pitch is right down the middle. And Eddie swings big. So maybe that makes Walker think. oh, he's not, he's not seeing that. But then the, yeah, there it is. Then the, the, the, um, the one he fouls off.

Pitch number five or pitch number, yeah, I think it's pitch number five. That's the two seamer outside. Right. No, cutter. They fell down the middle. Pitch five. Yeah, okay. And Rosario swings at that, misses it.

And you can see him do the, when, when batters do the, they swing and then they go, they jump back and you're like okay well that's what he's looking for that's the like universal baseball sign for fuck that was the pitch I wanted and then they brought it right back two bitches later smacks it so good good at bat by Rosario um but I thought Walker and Smith had to like pivot like why not oh to a breaking ball uh the change up had worked like a batter before so I don't know it was just kind of an I even think Brandon McCarthy tweeted out like as a weird sequence. Very weird sequence.

And maybe you point to what we were talking about before, about him coming in on short rest and his location not being as sharp and his pitch is not being as sharp. You know, Eddie sees that thing. And if he gets it in, it's a good pitch, but he didn't get it in far enough. Yeah. But, you know, Eddie's hot, dude.

He's hot. He's not going to, when you're locked in like that, Like you're not missing that pitch. Like your barrel's going to get to it. So if a pitcher executes a good pitch on you, okay. But if you miss your spot with a guy like Eddie, I mean, how many hits did you have in this series?

Like 15 or something? I don't know. But his face in between pitches was cracking me up. It was just like, almost like a little kid like drifting off to sleep, but still staring at the TV with all their like, force. It's really funny because, like, we talked about everyone that's ever played with him says the same thing.

He's ready for the big moment. Love's the big moment. Big moments come. Let's see. In this series, he had 14 hits. 14. You got a 607 on base percentage. And a one dot slugging because of his 14 hits, five or extra base hits.

Three of them were home runs. that's insane he get MVP you did yeah um all right the other thing that we got to talk about and maybe there's more is um is matt's yeah it's crazy um i don't even really get it because again it's not like you can be like what an approach in the app at bat against mookie just three fastballs right down the middle. He did like quick pitch him on one of them, like slide step type thing. But if anything, it's kind of that Lance Lynn energy just pitching with confidence and filling in the zone.

And sometimes that that can like rub off. I don't know. What do you got on all of that? The Matsick stuff. You could tell by the end there with the bets at bat that he knew, like he had that feeling with the baseball. He knew that he was throwing shit that wasn't going to be hit. Like sometimes pitchers get that feeling.

Like, if I throw the pitch I want to throw, he ain't hitting it. And that's what happened, man. He dominated. He dominated, dude. Pooholz, Susa, but bets, too? Like, it was the most impressive thing I've seen this postseason. Like, for him to come in and shut the door like that. Second and third, nobody out.

And come in and just. dominating. There's no other word for it. No. Strikeout, strike out. He knew. So cool. And then he came back for the next inning and he goes, strike out again.

You're like, holy shit. And then I think Trey Turner and Will Smith were like, I'm not striking out. I'm going to swing early. And they both grind out to young dick. Young big. Damn, man.

Braves defense was great. Like Freddie with some of those picks. Because that one, that one to Riley had that. weird hop and then he spikes it. The Braves wanted to close it out and they did it, man. I didn't even know Matt's whole story, did you? No, and I still don't.

So Braves fans, if you're in the chat, like, please, because at one point, the whatever announcer said it was like from electrician to. Well, he was like a first rounder. Then he developed like the yips, man. What did he say? Bounced around orgs. Went to Indy Ball. And I think they signed him at an indie ball.

Yeah, he must have been doing electrician stuff in his like free time. Probably. Because they dropped the line. I don't what the second word was because it also started with E. But it was, uh, damn. I'd like the line. I tried to pitch this many freaking games, Jim, and still have that. I mean, he's, he's peaking right now.

How old is it? He's pitching every freaking game. Yeah, it's kind of scary. You know what? You know what? Sneaky from electrician to electric maybe? So layer got a double in his last at bat. And to me, that was a World Series double.

That was just the Astros that was, we haven't needed them. We haven't needed them yet. What are they going to do? But check this out because he is going to be part of the next one. you know if he strikes out there you're like oh so maybe they don't need so larry he gets a double you're like okay that's just another piece we're adding houston that that was a double for the world series do you platoon him from electrician to legend was the line yeah i think so okay it's a big that's a that's a big wrinkle there so there what are you going to do good for good for good for

good for them have another option yeah really don't know what are they going to do i mean Does Jack go back to the bench? D.H in the AL in Houston. Or Jock with the H, I don't know. Or Jack D.Hs. Because what were they doing? They were, it was the bench, right? Well, Jack, yeah, yeah.

Against Milwaukee. Was Salar out? I'm so lost. Was Saler out already for that? Or was he there? No. I think he was just out for the CS. This series.

Yeah, so he was batting leadoff playing right field and Jock was on the bench. So I wonder if they go straight back to that. Orsario and left Duval and center. How come they pinch ran for him? Like he got a hustle double. And then they put in Heredia. I'm guessing they probably wanted him for defense anyway. I was like, you just, maybe some COVID stuff like your body, not some fun.

He's not 100% yet. Yeah, he's not 100%. They don't want to like him busting his ass. I don't know. Yeah. Um, did you hear the jock story about the pearls? Like the someone interviewed the jeweler. Mm-mm.

Jock texted him. So, so, because Jack's been cryptic about it, but the jeweler, who's a baseball jeweler? Happy jewelry or something like that. I don't know if you've ever heard of them, but he, uh, jock texted him was like, hey, I want to do something different. I want, I want to do pearls. And he was like, pearls are for women. And Jack was like, yeah, I love it. And then they sent him over the first pearls and Jack was like, Jack was like, those are too small.

And then they had to, when they got all the pearls, they had to string them together and they put knots in between each bead, which I guess isn't normal in case they came off. They didn't want them to roll all over the baseball field. That'd be a visual. I like that. Yeah, but a lot of people were glorifying it. Like there's grandma's pearls or he just found him somewhere, threw him on because they thought it'd be funny. But no, he specifically requested pearls. I do want to say this.

pearls are already hot in the streets okay my buddy has been doing pearls for a while now so I don't know if it was a total independent jock thought I'm just gonna say that out there I didn't know Berber's wearing pearls right now too is yeah I don't know that

it's a cool thing it's a vibe Jake does it too you know those are three really cool people Jake Scott Beats Jake Jock and Justin that's like a boy band chat is telling me that's normal for high end pearls. I just read an article and relayed the info. I'm not a pearl expert.

The chat. Please the chat knows everything. It was actually how pearls work. Let's go chat. It's a big W. Right. No, we were a pearl expert pod. Sorry for sharing the article with everyone. Tyler Matzik does not follow us. That's tough. All right, you have any thoughts on the Dodgers here, Trev? I mean, they don't win their division. They do beat the Giants. Obviously, Walker had to pitch on short rest twice, which is a bit of a bummer because his postseason numbers were like amazing. And Scherzer comes out to pitch the ninth in game five against the Giants. And looking back, I know it was a close game, but the Dodgers have such a big bullpen. Like if he doesn't do that, does he pitch this game?

because I think he was on record saying he doesn't regret it, but maybe he over did it. And, you know, like, it worked. We love it, but Jansen's been amazing at getting saves. And their bullpen's been good. So like, did that do them in? The two teams that are in the World Series went traditional with their pitching. They had their starters.

They didn't use I mean Houston had to do you know a bullpen day but like their starters were their starters well yeah and the relievers

Yeah Ramber and Garcia stepped up at the end there and so they got they were just more fresh you know the Red Sox used Nate in the pen

they use Pivotta in different situations the Dodgers had to do the same thing I think we just saw at the end guys getting fatigued stuff just being a tick down. And we talked about it all season. There was so many injuries this season coming off the 60 game. And I think it caught up to some of the guys at the end.

So I think that was tough for them. And going into the playoffs, we thought the Dodgers had the strongest starting pitching that they could just go and use their starters, but they didn't use them the traditional way. Which I think ended up. biting them. Kershaw getting hurt at the end there when they thought

he doesn't come back. That stinks. But yeah, they, who could they have used? Like, don't you think they'd be better off if they went, if they went? Scherzer Walker,

Ureas, Gonsolin, and tried to use those four guys. And then use their bullpen, like just a traditional type of way. I think they, I think they would have been better off. Yeah, I mean,

obviously this is put Sam's this on, on, on win the division. Yeah. Right. Yeah. I wonder if, you know, if you do it again, like, was Schurz or just for show in game five? They didn't use Kelly.

They didn't use Vesia. They didn't use some other guys. Yeah, that's the thing is the Dodgers have, like, an elite bullpen. You know, could they have, they have four or five guys at the end there. Like, definitely four, maybe five guys who they really trusted there at the end. Yeah. I wonder if, if they look back on it. they say Scherzer was kind of more of a statement to save that game.

And maybe you save them. But also, I mean, they had to do the wild card game. So they were set back from the beginning. And the Braves didn't have to do that. Yeah. And the Braves didn't go five in the, in the DS. Right? They went four.

Yes. I think they did. I think they went four. Yes. Otherwise, it would have went back to Milwaukee. So when you're the division. Yeah, win the division. Braves are just hot right now, too.

They are so hot, man. In all facets. They're pitching well. They're playing good D. They're hitting. At the end of the game yesterday, we were talking about how the bottom part of the line-up for the Dodgers was hot, and they came up at the end of the game.

I thought that was kind of a cool little sequence there. Those guys, man, Pollock. Pollock earned himself some money. CT3 earned himself some money. Dodgers got a lot of questions going into the off season. The C3 earned them a lot of money. You know, it's cool if the Braves win the World Series, as you predict it. MLB is kind of just putting its parody on display again,

which I think it has the best parity of the top four. I think actually the NFL rivals it. I was doing this last night, but I don't really fully trust my math. But I believe in the last, out of the last 20 champions, in the NHL. It's been 11 teams. And the NBA, it's only been 10. NBA obviously has terrible parity.

It's always been. MLB has 14. This would make it 15 if the Braves win. The Astros win stays. And the NFL has 13. NBA has worse parity than for a while there. Maybe the Bucks winning change it. For a while, the NBA had worse parity in champions than,

uh, women's basketball, college basketball. Well, at least top and NBA's always been like eras with dynasties and stuff. Yeah. Baseball's nuts. It's the first time the Braves have been in the World Series since 99. And they've won their division five times in a row now or something like that. Yeah, it's a tough playoff format.

And it's hard to get into the playoffs. And then the seven game series. It's just... No team has repeated from 98 since the 98 to 2000 Yankees. Baseball is such a unique sport in the way you have to approach the postseason completely different than you approach the regular season

in the seven-game series. You could say the same for some other sports, but I think it's more paramount in baseball. Like the way you have to set up your pitching and the way that the do-or-dye-and-you-know. The way that, you know, the do-or-dye. games make you do a lot of silly stuff. It makes me think that the Dodgers,

I wish they would have just approached it a little bit more traditional. Although I'm happy, obviously happy for the Braves, but... Yeah, obviously, the bad pitching, pitching makes it so unique of a sport. You know, imagine if you, you know, quarterback's got tired and then you just had to change the quarterback. Yeah. That's like an unbelievable thought process,

but that's how baseball basically works. that's nuts that's much better way to put it that makes that's that's good imagine you played like four games and four different quarterbacks had to play he'd be like imagine how much more quarterbacks would be worth they're already worth like 50 million a year yeah tough thing is it's so much harder to be a top level quarterback than it is to be a top level pitcher it seems there's only oh yeah 10 quarterbacks if that yeah if that There's like 15 guys you're just comfortable having, let alone being really good. Yeah.

Football pod. Always happens. Check out. Check out, uh, there is a talking football YouTube account on John Mo Media, Bobby Skinner, uh, just depending to a ton of, uh, in debt breakdowns and chatter. It's growing slowly. They started this year. So you want to go.

Bobby's smart. He's like really good at making breakdown films. They're not like, uh, more silly. like mine are. They're actually detailed football breakdowns. Yeah. It's cool. We got anything else?

I mean, this is only a one game recap episode. We're going to preview the World Series with Jake. It's Sunday. You got to go coach your kids and, uh, little league. I'm going to go play golf with my parents,

my dad and my father-in-law, my brother. Oh, it's flag football. Flag football today. Hell yeah. You're like the red, red,

the coach today, right? You're running the show. Yeah. You call the plays, Treve? Yeah. The gut all day. What's your favorite play? Not a lot of plays.

Our playbook's not a big playbook. Where's Teddy play? Your system. We rotate. Everyone gets a turn to run the ball. There's only five people. We have six people on our team, four girls, two boys. The girls are like three years old.

It's hilarious. It's. When Teddy's quarterback, do you have like special plays you say for that? we don't throw that often. Okay. We're a running team, run heavy. And Todd Frazier is on play flag football. I went and watched once.
