Hello and welcome to talking baseball. The Astros push it to game six. Just like Trev told you they would. Let's do it. Hello and welcome to talking baseball, brought to you by Draftings. My name is Jimmy. Sitting next to me is Jake in California. You got Trevor Pluth and behind the dish producer B.B.

It was good, man, and we got, man, last night was fun, and I just killed a bug. Old Thick with the Grand Slam were popping bottles in the ATL, and then, I don't know,

did the bad men show up last night? Did they bring the series back to H-Town, Funky Town, Space City, H-Town, Houston? They sure did. town where the roof City where the roof is goes open and closed sometimes Kelsey Winger So I don't know

Are you nervous? I'm not nervous yet I think tomorrow I mean who's playing for more, me or the Braves. I don't know. I mean, you're both remembered forever? Honestly, you.

I think it might be me. I will say this. I think I'd rather be a Houston fan right now than a Braves fan. We'll get into it. We'll talk about the games, but going back to Houston is very scary. I know Houston has some bullpen stuff going on.

I have to cover a lot of endings. I get it, but if I had to pick a fan base to be a part of right now. Probably be Houston. Really? Interesting. I think it's scary. Rafe still one win away from the whole damn thing,

and they got the best two starting pitchers left, though. And all of those pitchers are perfectly groomed. Rather be a member of Houston's fan base. A member. A member. A big member. I feel like people don't call their penis member anymore. I feel like that had a big nice.

I think it was just a gold member. I think it was just Austin Powers. Oh, around then. Yeah, I think it was just that. Well, this holiday season, we're giving thanks to our friends at Manscaped.

World Series game five in Atlanta, Braves, with a 3-1 series lead and a chance to win the World Series at home. No team has done that since 2013. Wow. Tucker Pete Davidson tries to give his best weekend update in Atlanta sports history in a long time, but they'd have to get through Framber Valde. Yes, our king and the Houston Astros with their back against the wall. Watch out.

Speaking of back to the wall, old thick, the lifetime brave, Adam Duvall, Grand Salami, Apo, Taco. They're going nutty in Georgia. It's four nothing braves, but really good fortitude by the Houston Astros. says Bregman with the RBI double and Maldonado Machete. Sackfly four to two after two. In the third again, Karea, there's the bad man. He gets the RBI double.

Yuli, you lie. Oh no, watch my runner's score. Tied up at four apiece. Freddie Freeman, feeling like a million bucks. He hits a home run. Makes it a 5-4 game. 460 feet. FTX gave us some moonshot money,

which is going to be a million bucks for us. In the fifth, how's your RBI walk? Machetee the fake bunt on 3-1. It works, I guess, tied up at fives. And then how about your throwback Thursday? Caught me a Marwin. Former Astros great Marvon. Gondalas, current Astros bench guy, Marwin Gonzalez. The huge two RBI single, it's

7-5. Make it 8. Machete Maldonado again, 8-5, Correa RBI single. They are working 9-5 in Atlanta as Houston gets the 9-to-5 victory. They get their second win of the series to make it 3-2. Framber didn't have it, but the bullpen did 6.1 shuddy. We are going back to H-Town, Fungytown, Spacity, Clutch City, where the roof open, city where you buy newspapers. Houston, we're going there. They love us. Three, two, 95 final. Hell yeah. Newspaper sales are actually historically low in Houston. Is that true? No. I don't know. It feels kind of like a mobile fan too. Could be true.

So hot. Yeah. Do you think newspapers were more popular back when newspapers were a thing in hotter cities? Most popular newspaper. Because you're right. By a paper, you can fan yourself with that thing. So easily. What is it?

The Houston Chronicle? Cronpot? That's like men used to wear like hard brimmed hats. That was an instant fan themselves with that too. But then you're hardburned hats aren't light. So they're kind of kind of, Also helping you get sweating. So I have the top 100 newspapers in the United States rankings in front of me from infoplease.com.

My favorite. Can I guess number one? Yes. New York. USA Today. USA Today. Oh. Boom.

That's easy. That's everywhere. Number two? New York Times. Oh. It's three. Okay. Wall Street Journal, two.

Yeah, that makes sense. That's another national one. You guys want to guess where Houston is? So this is the newspaper Newspaper Oh okay I thought we were doing Newspaper cities

Because people buy Wall Street Journal in Houston Right Imagine you're in 1910 Okay I'm there Present You're walking the streets

You flip a A coin to A little kid on the corner And say give me a paper son I got to learn stuff today Imagine getting your news Do you have me as the news? And having to read it.

I do. Yeah. Jimmy's flipping you a coin. He gets the paper. Now Jimmy has to read the news instead of going on TikTok and having a 14-year-old explain it to them. That sounds horrible. Such hell. Houston Chronicle listed as the number nine newspaper.

Wow. Good for them. Big city. A lot of people. Fourth. All right. Anyway. This game.

This game. This game. The Grand Slam. Yikes. Yikes. You think. I mean, Atlanta fans had to be. there were probably some text messages sent.

There were probably some things said after that Grand Slam that were a little ahead of themselves. I don't blame them. I don't blame them at all. First inning, Grand Slam 4-0 lead. Credit to the Astros for just saying, and to credit the Astros for winning this game. I mean, Framberg goes 2.2.

They go to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 different relievers. who all go blank the rest of the way, and the bats come alive. And Trev, tell us what you told, tell them what you told us, where you think that Astros won this game. The second inning. You know, you get, excuse me, inning. I don't know how to say the word, people stop.

You say it how you say it. Edding, get off the 405, and then you play the next inning. It's just a sound, a vibration coming from my vocal cords, okay guys you know what I mean okay I thought the second inning was where Houston won the game you know they put Bregman down to the seven hole he gets in a bat there hits the double

get second and third from Aldenado basically answering the Grand Slam with two runs of their own you know that's a two run lead is nothing in today's game and that's when it felt like okay it's a game again they go and you know snicker makes a move or Tucker gets out of that inning and it's inning

and it's 4-0-0 still. I think the game starts to feel much different, but when you punch back right away like that, I think that was like huge for, not momentum, but just, you know, as a team, Houston was like, okay, like we want to get back in it, now we're actually back in it.

And it happened really quickly. I think that was the biggest part of the game for them. It's, I talked about this on Wake and Jake this morning, when we make J-War, I think the bounce-back inning deserves more love. Because I do think that is more impactful. When you get punched and you punch back, when you give yourself some life in this game, you know, you give up a grand slam on an inning where Alex Bregman, if he fields that ball, I don't think we get a grand slam.

I think Framber's out of the woods And he has a clean world series first inning Instead gives up a grand slam And then for Bregman To come back and do it I think that was impactful That's for me You guys heard me last time we talked

I was talking about how there hasn't been Bregman and Correa Their paw prints were all over this game And I think that That is my most significant take away that like those guys are now back a part of this series as we head back to Houston and all that that those guys need to need to be there yeah you got to keep bregman down in the lineup right you think they're not going to switch him back to the three hole I think he's

they want to keep him down there now uh yeah I mean very good job by the asteros game a lot of card for fighting back when it was four nothing and all that that being said Braves fans you're in fine shape I'd scare it going back to Houston I get that but you You have your two pitchers available. And Minter got burnt here in this game. And that's okay. Other than that, I mean, Tucker Davidson hadn't pitched since June 15th. Yeah.

I mean, you already got Kyle Wright to give you a hell of an outing. You can't get two. You can't get two like that. And then, you know, Jesse Chavez pitches. Minter. Martin gets one point one inning. He's got an off day, though. Other than that, you're pitching is a,

exactly where you want it to be going into game six and seven. The only scary part is that you're in Houston, and maybe their bats woke up this game, but maybe their bats woke up because they were facing the B pitchers, basically, besides Minter, who they did get some hits. You know, Coray got a hit, Yule got a hit, and then, I mean, intentionally walking Bregman to get DeMaldonado. That's like a decision based on,

too broad of stats for me. Didn't like that decision. Like who's given better at bats this series? Ragman or Maldonado? It's the easiest answer in the world. Obviously, if you go over their career. Haven't they both been bad, though? Maldonado's like worked some good at bats.

Like Jake was talking about the one against Will Smith from the game before. He's hit 114 in the postseason. I understand that. But he's seeing tons of pitches. He's, like, had at bats where you're like Maldonado's in it. Bregman's first pitch lost. I didn't like that move.

I think that's where the conversation turns if you're going to walk Bregman, that's one of the clear situations where you can, you can unintentionally walk him, and he might get himself out. He's been doing that a lot. Exactly. So why don't you, I think the argument is because at the end of the day, would you rather face Alex Bregman or Maldonado? I think it's Maldi.

But, like seventh inning, Alex Bregman popped out first pitch again, kind of like he had been doing. So, yeah, to not, it seemed like the good spot. It's a tough spot to put Minter in, too, where now he, the walk is the tying run. Exactly. That you might as well give him a shot at Breggie there. So, yeah, that's tough in hindsight.

Yeah, I don't know. It's one of those moves. He had a couple different moves yesterday that didn't go well that, like, you know, we can talk about now because they didn't end up well. But like, you know, leaving Tucker in to, you know, get through the second inning or even having them go back out for the third inning. I think they just kind of had with him specifically they had a plan. I mean, Snicker after the game said they wanted to try to get 75 pitches out of them.

I think they only getting up 50 something. I don't know, man. You can't fault him too much for that decision. I know it backfired and they walked him, but... Yeah, I guess, but at least you've got to throw pitches to Bregman. He's been getting himself out like crazy. I mean, if you want to dance around it, dance around it, but... And then Maldonado with the bluff bunt, 3-1 pitch,

bass is loaded, two outs. Great. I love it. I mean, it's like, it's half ironic, but it's half real because that's how mental the game is. There's zero point zero chance he's going to try to bunt the ball. There's two outs. Base is loaded.

Pitcher would just field it and lightly toss it to the catcher for the force out at home. Zero chance he tries to punt the ball. But 3-1. Show it. Fuck with him a little bit. See if it does anything.

And who knows if that's the reason it's a ball or not. But why not? It's like one of the funny mental parts of baseball. Yeah. I love the bluff bun. It's almost the same as like when guys just like step out of the box like halfway through the wind up.

Oh, yeah. Like I ain't swimming. swinging. So here you go. It's really easy for you. And then the guy that throws a ball. It's baseball also sick-o stuff. Like, let's say Maladano does that. It's a fastball down the middle. And then he strikes out on a curveball in the dirt next pitch. I think everyone would be killing Maldenado today. What are you? What is that? But our guy, Jerry Blevins, he had the best tweet. I mean, it's, again, beauty of sports, beauty of baseball. He's like the hardest times in my life to throw a strike. is when you need to throw a strike.

And that's where, you know, half this game is 90% mental. Yo-Gesh. Yep. Yo-Gash. Oh, boy. Any other big takeaways here? I thought when Freddie hit the homer. Yeah.

I was like, well, okay. Let's just ride that out. That seems fitting. Yes. Marwin. I was. Sorry, Trump. I was walking around trick or treating with bad service

And I was going you know when I got to a house of someone I knew I was like hey like what's going on? What's going on with the game when I saw freddie put him ahead I was like that that might be it And then I went like I don't know 30 40 minutes without knowing the score and then marwin did the damn marwin thing and It would have been really fitting and really cool to freddie put him ahead and they kept it going that would have been awesome but the storyline was perfect the storyline was perfect he felt like a million bucks. Jake said it. I mean, and that was 460. Like, I know, I know it still counts the same, but that feels a little different.

What was that? A moon balloon. It sure was. My investment plan. And yeah, I mean, first pitch to Marwin, you know, we'll see where this series lands, but it's a cutter over the plate. Marwin gets jammed, but it drops. And, you know, being a pinch hitter kind of, you see a lot of pitch hitters,

come up and they look for first pitch fastball and swing on it because, you know, that's kind of the pitcher's mindset. Get ahead. If you're the pinch hitter, you know they want to get ahead. That's the chicken and mouse that happens. So, I mean, jams them. The Exivilo couldn't have been good on it, but it drops, and that's two runs right there.

And, I mean, we're talking, you know, the Maldonado walk kind of gets the headlines for the fake bun and tying the game. But if, let's say that Marwin gets jammed a little bit there, that's a pop out to short. and we're talking about a 5-5 game into the 5th. And man, good for, I guess that's where I keep landing today. Like, Grand Slam in the first inning. Houston comes back. Freddie Freeman, it's a moon blast to put them back up 5-4 after they come back.

And they do the damn thing. So I know Atlanta, they didn't burn their bodies, but it's just going to be very interesting. this game six that, you know, we've got coming up on Tuesday night with our boy Max. I mean, that becomes the game of the series, not only for Trevor Ploose's prediction, but if it's game seven and you're Atlanta, and there's the 3-1 stuff around Atlanta, and you had a 4-0 lead, and you could have gone to your good bullpen a little earlier, that becomes the storyline quick.

And then the storyline becomes Trevor Ploose prediction. And then I take the tweet of your prediction and I get it engraved on a dugout mug and I drink out of that mug. Syke. I put it on a mantle. And it's got your perfect prediction on there. And you guys can also have a dugout mug. If you predict who will win the game, is this the wrong ad read? Is this still what they're doing, BBD?

That was during the game last night. I don't know if that's an active thing. Let's just do this. Last chance for 35% off with code Jambol. was last night. Was last night. So if you got that, you're good. 30 now.

30, if you're doing any Christmas shopping this year, this is the best deal. You're going to find use code Johnboy and their new metal mugs or the classic wood dugout mugs. Tonight is your last chance. I'm going to test it out right now. I'm going to get myself a dugout mug.

They got the inked mugs. All you have to do, they're giving away a bunch of the newest products like the metal dugup mug and the full color inked dugout mug. All you have to do is enter a tag. Enter is tag them in a photo or video of you using your dugup mug while watching the World Series.

If you don't have any items to dugup mugs yet, use code John Boyt dugoutmugs.com and grow a metal or ink dugout mug so you can start swiggin. Yeah. We've been cheers and chugging on all the homers. Yeah. Send a video and tag the minute of you cheers it and chugging too. Some people, because we're having so much fun with your prediction and I'm putting it on my dugout mug and everyone else going to put on theirs, are going to forget because they're just going to get meme to death with us talking about nonstop. How wild it is if it comes true.

I know. So wildest thing. There's a lot to take in here Go to dogoutmugs.com. Get your order in now. Predicting it? The way you did is like in football If you predicted the score If you were like

Pats over Falcons 23 to 3 Like and then the actual score came true Happens Yeah Because you did in 6 But it's more than that Because like

That's just one game Yeah this is A whole season It's fucking phrasing I predicted the whole thing guys I just put in I was looking at the Arizona Diamondbacks stainless steel bat mug

some of the most reviews of that item could you say there's a correlation to their super fan promoting the product if you put in code Johnboy it just gave me 17 and a half bucks off so go plug that in that's real that's real

yeah that's a meat so much is on the line, Trev. Need the Braves. So much as I. Have you like texted Max? Mm-hmm.

No, I won't text Max. I won't do that to him. Like, I mean, that's really funny that it's actually him. I haven't put that together. It's my buddy starting the game. Like, it's, there's a lot of the line for Max and I on Tuesday.

Oh, shit. Like, I'm going to be a nervous wreck watching it. And I thought like, should I go to a bar and like, you should fly out here. Come out here. You bitch. Red eye in, red eye out.

I'd rather, I'd rather do it. Namedless Jeff will watch your kids. What are you soft? You wearing jackets while you run the bases? I'll tell Nameless Jeff to watch your kids. Bring on. I'd rather go to Houston.

I'd rather go to Houston. That's just basking it. I don't know, man. I don't know what I'm going to do for the game tomorrow. There's a possibility I fly out to New York. I'm still thinking about it.

Take the PJ. You better call Olivia. She already got mad at me last night because I went out. Yeah. Can we talk about Zach Rankie, pinch hitting, getting hit? Yeah. Shouldn't be over.

And what happened, Jimmy? Yeah. What happened when you got on first base? Smiled? Didn't want the jacket. Yeah, because it's not that called. He probably read our tweets as like, you know what? They're right.

Let's stop this nonsense. They've calmed down the people I'm mad about the jacket, so that's good. But, uh. For now. First pitcher to get a pinch hit hit since 1923, I think I read. He has like more playoff hits than, was it Ted Williams? I was really hoping Framber was going to snake him. One of the worst open batting stances of all time.

You know what, Jake? I haven't seen that because I was on the phone with you because I was driving around doing areas for that. Not hitterish. Okay, let me... You're talking about the second inning? Yes. Because I was telling Jim on the phone, like, you know, there's... With an open batting stance, that's the easiest way to look hitterish.

Like, you're kind of inviting the ball to the plate a little more. Frambi... Not as open as I thought it was... That swing was good. No, it's just like a sad open. But then he gets ready. I don't know. It's like a college hitter.

Oh. I don't know. I guess I think it's funny if I saw it first because I was expecting it to look like when like Delon Batanzas got the bat. Like that looks. Yeah. Yeah. Like we've seen some pictures look ridiculous. For a World Series, that's tough.

Yeah. Sorry NLP. Jorge, thank you. Yeah, and then Kendall Graveman came up late, chance to do it. There was a collective sigh of relief after the game ended last night. All these pitchers are finally like, thank God I can put my batting gloves away. Did you hear Snits comments on it? What do you say?

He was like, yeah, I'm really excited for there to be a DH next year. It's going to be much more fun to watch. Yeah. It's funny because there's a lot of NL fans that, um, I think they're enjoying that more. That are going to be, like, mad at that he said that as an NL guy. He said he's looking forward to next year when there's most likely will be a universal D.H. It'll be a better game to watch.

Yes. Not my manager. Snit's pretty cool, man. I think the other kind of storyline from last game to bring us up to Braves and Six, Game 6, Trevor Ploof Bowl. Erkidi came in out of the pen, throws an inning in this game. Everyone assumed he was going to be the game six starter. And then Dusty after the game says

Luis Garcia is going to get the pill on short rest for game six. Dusty's got a plan. Dusty has had been had plans, you know? Plan maker. Bond maker. Yeah, I mean, I don't really like. We'll see. Houston's got a hit.

They got a hit. How many runs did the Astros get yesterday? Five? And I was like the best. I was, you know, they had to get nine runs to win the game. How many, when Houston won the other game this series, what was it? They won seven to two. Yeah, they won seven to two game two.

Scoring five runs here. Yeah, I mean, that's kind of been the key somewhere around there. You don't have to have a crazy offensive day because the pitching's just been so good. I got to, you know, what I got to do. What do you got to do? Because I got to text Lucas Gavito

and say tell Maxie whatever he's doing with this glove that you said like figure it out because I mean we can't be having that in Houston

can't be having that BPD can you hit the passing button for me passing passing Jake I could have handed this one off to you last night I knew about

about this. This is football. Oh, Vaughn. Vaughn to the Rams had it yesterday. Or at least that it was happening.

Thanks for passing it on, dude. Yeah, I didn't know what, I don't know what the protocol is with that. I can't be like just sharing stuff. Oh, dude, I was going to tell you Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian were holding hands on

at Knott's Farm yesterday, but. My neighbor, she had a party yesterday, oh, Kim Kay. Nobody cares. I didn't get invited. Was your kid there? No. Most RBIs in the game facing elimination catchers in World Series history.

Wow. Yeah, Maldi. Three productive at bats. That's big. So World Series catcher elimination game. Bang. Yogi Bearer. Something else, and BPD can confirm, I was saying this on the stream,

and a Dansby Swanson fielding error doesn't help. but they let Tucker Davidson hit in the second inning. He was the second batter of the inning after the Braves scored two. Ragman Maldonado. Again, if the Astros win game six, which they can't because it's Braves and six. But if they do, Tucker Davidson comes out for the top of the third

after he was the second batter of the inning. Swanson Error, Brantley Walk, he's pulled. So not only could you have had a bad or hit with one out to potentially do something for the top of your lineup. Also, you could have gave Jesse Chavez a clean inning or whoever you go to. So that's a, there's a lot of little things you could circle in this game. Braves lost a 4-0 lead in a deciding World Series game. Like, I don't like that. I don't like that.

is it was you can't get too mad at SNIT because I mean maybe you can I don't know you start a guy who's got zero experience basically and then yeah you trust him to go back out there for the third he did say he wanted to get 75 pitches out of him

so that was like a you know they talked about that that was the plan snit had a plan plan didn't work but I agree I mean they could have they could have taken him out, put in, I mean, Rosie said this this morning, instead of bringing Chavez, do you bring in mentor? Maybe he gets out of it. I know he had struggled in his appearance, but you put him in that. Maybe it's different. It just seemed to me like they were really hoping to get some length out of Tucker and they didn't. Yeah, I think they had to burn Lee and go to right day before.

and they made their big move in that game, and I just think he was like, oh, no, I can't do this again, especially with the lead this time. It was four to two. Why not start him? Four nothing at the time? It was four to two.

He gave up the two runs, and then he comes up. And then it was the error and then the walk, and then they took him out. Don't you, wouldn't you want, like,

you go back and you know you want to get some length out of Tucker. Why wouldn't he be the bulk guy in the middle of the game then? I feel like starting, making a guy who doesn't have the experience start a World Series game is daunting, whereas you know, you start Minter. I don't know if he's ever come out of the bullpen before. And that sometimes can be, I think Tucker's only started before. So if you're going to use him, you probably want him to have as normal as a routine as he can probably have from his past.

I know in MLB he hasn't come out of the pen before. I don't know in AAA if he has. It doesn't look like he ever has since 2017 when he was 21 years old. So I guess otherwise I agree. If he had any experience coming out of the pen, then I think you try to go steal like Chavez for the first, someone for the first inning than him. Yeah.

But a little harder situation to be like, hey, you haven't pitched since June 15th and now you're going to come out of the bullpen in the World Series. yeah but it's our i get that but it's already a weird situation like you're hey you're starting a world series game it's already like holy shit for sure it's not a regular start and you know but i i i get what you're saying as long as they give them a clean ending though i feel like maybe that's maybe we look back and that's you know a bad decision by nothing it's braves and six this had to happen man braves in six it's all it ever was if you're uh if you're uh if you're atlantic

Do you have to mess with anything? A couple people were saying, do you slide Ozzy down? He's kind of been having a tough series too far. I mean, do you just keep rolling it out there? I think you just keep rolling it out there. I mean, with Garcia pitching, right? Yep. Garcia, 3.2, 1 earned last time versus him.

They rolled out Eddie, Freddie. That's funny. Eddie, Freddie, Ozzie, Austin Eddie, Eddie, Freddie, Albies, Austin trying to make it the most fun way you could say it, Solair. No, I think because he's Switch, you just like him there for bullpen reasons.

Is Jock still your pinch hitter? Does he find his way into the lineup against the Ritey? Like we're sticking with this game five lineup with Solera at the top and Freeman and then Ozzy. I think against Ritees, they've been doing Eddie lead-on. Solair five hole

and jock should be able to start because they'll have the DH yeah Adam Duvall and center because he's on he's always on the Braves he's always on the Braves and he's old and thick Grand Slam I'm Duval probably pissed

could have a game like a World Series winning Grand Slam game him him and Freddie there's nothing like you like you get a hit in the bottom of the 8th inning to put your team up. You're like, dude, fuck yeah.

You know, let's go get these outs in the 9th. I'll be getting interviewed on the field after the game. Then your bullpen blows in the 9th. You stole that from me. You stole some shine from me, man. What do you guys think the over under is going to be for game 6? I mean, you got Max and Garcia. Garcia went 3.21 earned

in his game. And in Max's first game, He went five innings six earned. He found it late. It's going to be eight and a half. I think so. I think it's going to be big. I think it's going to be like eight and a half or nine.

Allow me to go to Draft King's Sportsbook, the number one sports book in the land to check it out. Right now it's nine. Is that the highest we've had this World Series? They're all right around that. Yeah. Run around two I would guess that's the highest of the World Series so far Al-Tube didn't homer

I put money on that yesterday on my Draft Kings Sportsbook and it didn't happen The payout was good so it wasn't bad I didn't put a lot on there But I didn't realize they were going to win Which I should have Because I should have trusted Trev the entire time

Yeah Because Al-Tube is going to homer again This World Series Has to That was the thought process And he has to So I just might double back on it tomorrow.

We got to give a shout out to the Astros core four who surpassed Jets and all those guys for most postseason games played out. That's a, that's pretty cool, man. And maybe that will never happen again. I don't know. They surpassed a cheater? Or whoever the Yankees played the most.

Maybe the Yankees four or whatever the hell it was. So are four players who all played together in a game? Oh, that's what it's got to be. So does Petit's a pitcher? I would assume Petit out Bernie in. Yeah. There's a weird way they had to finagle that because That's games that Mo got used

Because that doesn't make sense Because Mo was a reliever Because I mean Jeter Posada have like 130 postseason games All right I mean it was an Instagram post I saw So I just wanted to give a shout

I don't know exactly Shout out to them they played a lot of games That's just there's got to be some really weird math Because they'll never be a Pasada Jeter and Pasada of the two position players in the core for have to have double the amount of postseason games as those guys.

So I don't know how they did that math. Let's see. Astros. Some of the chat says Jeter, Bernie, Tino, Paul O'Neill. It's the group they used there. Yeah. Yeah, so they just finagled their way

to make that into a stat. They should have just said, congrats on the Astros for playing a fuckload of postseason games. games. So many freaking postseason games. That's a real weird.

I love myself some butcher knife stats. To go Tino and Paul O'Neill. Is there any way Correa comes back to the Astros? There is.

Like, that'd be a lot of fun, man, to keep this keep this thing going because I think I was mistaken saying like, hey, I mean, I wasn't mistaken

because I said, like, the core is, going to be broken up and it's going to be a different Astros team but like they kind of just have a new core now you know Springer's gone but they got Tucker and Yordawn and

if they get Correa back Altuva is there for the long haul like they could just keep running it back dude it's not like the AOS is good the LOS stinks besides the Mariners J.P. Crawford's Mariners J.P. Crawford is a freaking legend but the A's are shipping everybody out of town. The Angels

will never, ever figure it out. I'm sorry, Nate Steele. I'm not a believer in Perry. Why? Robbie Ray, Cacucci. I hate that franchise almost as much as I hate. Strowman.

Jansen Junk. Trevor Story. Maybe they'll just go get another bat this off season. A lot of Angels World Series Talk. Braden Oltoff. Oh, you know, Saris. Donnie Echre to the Rangers.

Hitting coach. Yeah, for the Giants. Yeah. Taken away from the best coaching staff in the league. Obviously. It's going to be that way. There's a lot of guys leaving him. Well, and the Red Sox hitting coach just denied.

He said, no, I don't want to come back. And then they think he's going to go to the college. Where's a lot of episodes to do in the future on all this stuff? This will be my last episode for like three weeks. So I bid you a due. I'll give my big thanks to everyone for a great season. And for following along, I mean, from February and March, every single day, we've released episodes for, I think, 45 days.

And October through now, every single day, basically, for 45 days again. And in between all of the, you know, three episodes a week, we've grown like fucking crazy. It's been insane. We have, like, a lot of goals we set at the beginning of seasons and stuff for growth. And I think we blew past them as quickly as we possibly could, which was amazing. So I'm out for the next three weeks. Baby's coming very soon. So I just wanted to get a chance to say thanks to everyone for helping and being part of this.

Appreciate it. Community is awesome. It is awesome. Thank you, James, for your commitment. I hope you enjoy the first few weeks of fatherhood. There's going to be a lot of pine tar poops, which will turn into mustard seed poops. You love it. How do you think we met?

Don't let people scare you. Good words any day. Great words. I also want to say thank you to the talking baseball. community. It's been a lot of fun. We we do work hard here. You'll be with. But yeah, we work. I'm just saying in general, man, it's been a long

season. We've been doing this. I mean, how many episodes do we do this year? A lot. One of the, and our boys and our girls are always with us in the chat. I believe at some point during TPPs is when we cross 300. So. What episode number is this? Those who don't identify with a gender also with us? That's fine. Or one of the early TPPs was this 300.

Between every day there. That's the start of the season, right? TPP season? Yeah, for us. Cool. That's crazy. Call it a buck 30. 276 was the first.

The first one, well. TPP. And what are we at now? 423. I'm doing the math. 147 episodes. And we got more because World Series ain't over. saying goodbye because I'll be gone.

At least one more. See ya. Finally, some fun around here. Sex pods coming up. Naked. Every single pod, naked.
