Starting point is 00:00:18 Andy Paez. Cube ball. They're going to knock. Oh, is he back? Maybe. Maybe not. Hello and welcome to Talking Baseball presented to you by Seekek. Use Code J.M.
Starting point is 00:00:30 Playoffs for 10% off your playoff tickets. And all of our special Talking Baseball postseason episodes are brought to you by T-Mobile. However you watch the game checking stats, streaming ballpark perks, T-Mobile, the best network in America. Head over to T-Mobile.com slash network. I'm Jake Storelli.
Starting point is 00:00:49 That is Trevor Bluff. Dan Rourke is on the ones, twos, and threes. Dalt-Feeley update in the sheet live. And Trev, how are you, big dog? I'm doing great, Jakey, boy. another interesting game that obviously a little bit different result than last night but an other worldly performance by our guy Yamamoto it was me it was matthew stafford watching the game on the couch together talking ball so a beautiful night for me also coached my youth team today the
Starting point is 00:01:21 soquel podres 2 and oh on the day we got more games tomorrow i'm excited to get into it i know you got your burn don't you dare ruin the standings for me okay you hear me i'm going to Try not to, but I had no promises along the way. Stafford knows ball, would it fair to say? You know his ball? Okay. I love talking ball with them. That makes me feel good.
Starting point is 00:01:43 Let's get into it. A couple of you might have caught us. We tried going live. The tech monster fought us. If you know, you know, and we'll always have that memory. But let's talk about World Series game, too. Hey me with the music, Daniel. Toronto tries to go up 2-0 in the World Series behind the big ticket KG Kevin Gossman taking on L.A. and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, top one, Freddie Spaghetti with a double.
Starting point is 00:02:20 And then Will Smith is a bad boy for life with his RBI single. In the third, Alejandro Tim Kirchen squeaks out a sack fly were tied up at ones. Then it was all pitching in Jonas Brothers for about four innings until Kevin runs out of goss. Will Smith, I am legend. Turns on a homer, that punky Muncie. Max is a beastie boy, two in the seventh, two in the eighth, but the story was Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Another complete game. Back to back against the best record in the NL and the best record in the AL.
Starting point is 00:03:00 and tonight he takes down the BJ's 5 to 1 final. I love your Tim Kirchian voice. I don't actually have the impression. I just start squawking. You know, of all the old heads in the game, I think Tim Kirchran's still my favorite. He just has this thing. He just does it.
Starting point is 00:03:24 And Jeff Passing, you're not an old head just yet. You're getting there, though. Stay tuned to the end of the episode for our old head rankings. Okay. Am I there? I'm turning 40 next year. Standings for the series. Great burn, by the way. Both teams, one and one in the series, Jake. It's a five-game set, raised to the finish, best to three now. Love that. It's exciting. There's a lot of different elements of this.
Starting point is 00:03:50 Obviously, we're going to spend a lot of time on Yamamoto, who becomes the story. Trev, and hey, I hope we give Gossman the proper amount of love because he went toe to toe with them, but ran out, or the Dodgers are really good because the guys that clipped him are amazing. But I think that's getting ahead of our stuff a little bit. I think we start off in the first because both of these teams, both of these teams kind of showed up in a weird way where the Dodgers, it looked like they were going down easy, two-out rally.
Starting point is 00:04:22 Blue Jays get some action on, but they don't score. Yeah, I mean, Will Smith, another story of the game. We're going to talk about Yamamoto. You got to talk about Will Smith. You know, Freddie Freeman with a really, really good at bat there, gets the two out double after, you know, Otani and Muki just haven't got the job done. Freddy with a nice at bat, it would be great for the Dodgers if he got going. And Will Smith, man, not a bad pitch right there, but able to keep the hands through.
Starting point is 00:04:48 I love that shot we just saw because that pitch was, you know, it was down in a way, maybe not down in a way, but away enough. keeps the hands and able to drive it up the middle 1-0-0 Dodgers and you know before our other stream got cut short I think you made a really good point
Starting point is 00:05:03 about the Dodgers you're welcome about the Dodgers you know answering after last night you know you got your butt kicked dude you got you got smashed yeah and to come out swinging in the first I think
Starting point is 00:05:15 you know that's what good teams do and the Dodgers are obviously a good team and maybe maybe if they didn't score in the first it wouldn't have mattered in the game but I do think kind of stealing back some of that momentum, quieting the crowd down a little bit, mean something in these games,
Starting point is 00:05:31 and then they go and do it. And then the Blue Jays, you know, they do what they've been doing all series, long, all post season long, pesky at bats, lead off double, Nathan Lucas with a single there, gets Vlad up first and third, nobody out.
Starting point is 00:05:47 And we get our guy Yamamoto, man, splittering him to death, finally finishing him off with a curveball. a huge, you know, that's, that's Cajonese type stuff right there out of Yamamoto, gets the soft lineup from Alejandro Kirk, and then Dalton Varshal gets them to 3-0, Jake. And Yamamoto comes back and gets the K on that nasty, nasty curveball. So the Blue Jays, you know, obviously in that sixth inning yesterday, you know, they got everybody in.
Starting point is 00:06:19 They squander a chance, a big opportunity to answer back on the Dodgers, early there, but Yamamoto, you know, showing signs of cracking, bending, not breaking, pitch count up a la Blake Snell. But then obviously he started to find it. Yeah, that I forgot, the Varsho 3-0. That was a splitter that looked to be below the zone. Would have been interesting. Ernie Clement bases loaded. I think we've seen a lot of that. But we saw what Yamamoto did the rest of the day that maybe all that goes away. That Vladia bat, that was interesting. Span, in the splitter and then gets him with a curveball that might have been Yamamoto's worst curve ball of the day,
Starting point is 00:06:58 but it was one of his first and Vladdy was so geared up because he's swinging at a 93 mile per hour splitter for four pitches. Yeah, it was the splitter sets that pitch up. You know, you're trying to see the splitter up, you see the curveball up, you automatically think splitter probably after seeing four in a row of them. You know, that's what he's able to do, mixed locations and pitches so well.
Starting point is 00:07:21 and I was talking before about just how well he mixed his pitches. I'll get into it right now a little. We'll sprinkle it in, if you will. Kind of reversed what he had in the regular season where he was foreseen dominant, not dominant, but around 30 to 35% of the time. That was a splitter tonight. 32% of the time he did 34 of those, 25, 4 seamers, 23 curveballs, 13 cutters, six sliders and four sinkers.
Starting point is 00:07:46 So six different pitches and four over 10%. And that's always my line, Jake. I always tell you guys that. Hitters and hitters meetings. You're trying to eliminate pitches as best you can. Anything over 10% you got to pay attention to. Anything under 10%? You say, hey, man, if you throw that to me in a big spot, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:08:02 Like, I'll try to foul it off. But Yamamoto, control of all of those different pitches, a game planning nightmare like I always say. And he was that again tonight. Yeah, and I think it was fun to see. Like, he had the splitter early. He was searching for the fastball. as the game went on, he found the curve ball.
Starting point is 00:08:23 I mean, at one point, I think this is from our boys, a Cespitous BBQ. He threw 12 first inning splitters, which was more than you savage through in the whole game last night. So like, he pressed that button in that inning because he had it, and then he goes away from it. It was still there. But the curveball came along, the fastball,
Starting point is 00:08:45 some of the spots he was hitting late with that pitch. Yeah. And I was super impressed by the cutter because it, again, kind of when you're talking about you're hitting a game plan and the percentages, I don't know, for me mentally, that's the pitch that you're like, I don't know, I got a lot to worry about if he sneaks a cutter in, whatever, but it was a nasty cut. Everything was nasty. The cutter's the worst pitch, man.
Starting point is 00:09:07 I'm telling you right now, you're on a heater and it looks like a heater. And then all of a sudden, it just tails off hits the end of your bad or you just, you know, it's it's a soft contact pitch man like I always say this you have to like try to pull the cutter which is it's counterintuitive it's going away from you so you're like oh I got to stay inside this but whenever you try to stay inside a cutter unless you're perfectly matched on plane with it which it's very difficult to do that um you end up like fillet it and you fly ball to right or you know something like that you know a little soft liner that way you really try to have to get on top of it and I'm going to try to pull it.
Starting point is 00:09:46 That's how I had success against him, if I ever did. It's just a, it's a hell of a pitch. If you ever did? I got, I hit some cutters. Yeah. I hit some, did I take Gossman up top before? Yes, come on. I'm a splitter, though.
Starting point is 00:10:02 Gossman really settled in, man. One point after that, that first inning, it's 17 sat down in the row before the big hit, which we'll get to. And same with Yamamoto, man. I mean, both these guys, That was a story of the game. Blue Jays, I don't want to call it squander another chance, but you get first and third with one out.
Starting point is 00:10:22 You get a George Springer hit by pitch, Vladdy gets the knock. Alejandro Kirk up there, first and third one out. If you're the Blue Jays, you've got to be thinking big inning again. I mean, that's what you have to do against the Dodgers. Kirk hits the sack, fly, Dalton Varsho grounds out. I mean, one, one, they tie the game, but that's two opportunities now within the first three innings that you had a chance to really put a crooked number up there. and take the lead and do all these things.
Starting point is 00:10:47 And you only end up getting one run out of those opportunities. I think that's the look back and say, yes, Yamamoto ended the night in a flurry, but we had them on the ropes early and didn't have the knockout punch. Yeah, Toronto, they got their first three leadoff hitters on. One was the Ernie Clement infield pop-up that I'm going to die on the hill. Pitchers can catch pop-ups.
Starting point is 00:11:11 I'm sorry. Yamamoto can catch pop-ups. Yamamoto. can catch pop. Oh, you're right. Let's keep some of those... Some of these pitchers can't. Some of those 6-7, 6-8 guys don't do that. They can't. I'm not doing... That's 20 push-ups.
Starting point is 00:11:24 That's 20 push-ups. I'll do them tomorrow when I see you in L.A. Or maybe Monday? Monday morning. You meet... It's you. It's me. It's Rob Manfred. Yeah. I think that's happening. Let me tell you this. I know a lot of people going to the game on Monday. Good. A lot of people.
Starting point is 00:11:41 they uh someone somewhat zo did request it's my favorite pick of you and dan rourke producing today but you guys your handshake i think it's the 21 all-star game that looks just like the office picture of michael and the former manager that was that was me and dan's like first time really a it's a great picture you both have great posture it's a nice handshake it's a nice moment uh zo requested if i get manfred if i could try to take a picture like that which i don't know i'll do my best uh we'll deal with that when we deal with that. But you're right. The Blue Jays felt like Blue J ball was lurking.
Starting point is 00:12:18 Between a couple well-hit balls, a couple, that Lucas one was kind of bloopy, but it was like, okay, this is what the Blue Jays do. Then the game shut down, dude. Shut down. Six pitch innings. I'm looking at the pitches in the order that the guys went down in. It's six pitches, six pitches, six pitches,
Starting point is 00:12:39 11 pitches, 8 pitches, 6 pitches, 11 pitches. I mean, we were flying coach. It was nothing. It was them. It was the Joe Bros. That, to me, was interested in that. Like, we're stopping a World Series game for a little mini concert.
Starting point is 00:12:54 Like, I know it was for cancer. Yeah, there's two things going on here. The stand-up to cancer, I think it's one of the coolest things they do. I think it's a great moment. The whole stadium, it's pretty wild. All the teams, all the players, like everyone, you're in. I think it's good. And I think it's a moment that,
Starting point is 00:13:09 brought together by like the beauty of silence and togetherness that was a little surprised when they went to the Joe, I like the Joe Bros. I'm, I'm, I'm in the club. Nice dudes. I just felt like weird timing in the middle of a baseball game. Was it you Jonas Brothers in Tulum? Were they there? I don't need to talk about that. Did you sign an NDA for that? I don't need to talk about that. Top seven. The timing felt weird. The timing felt weird. Timing felt weird. Timeing felt weird. Um, top seven, Trev, before we get into it, because this is where the game was decided. Uh, let's talk about Corona a little bit.
Starting point is 00:13:44 Because, you know, both fan bases, maybe us after this recording, maybe it's Corona time. Because Corona brings La Playa to you, wherever you are, your team had a bad day at the office, your team had a good day at the office. Corona can be there for you. Corona, they've been with us all season, uh, preseason, uh, preseason, spring, training. Beers on the berm. Grab a Corona. Yeah, I know that gets to you. The All-Star game, the playoffs, and even the World Series. Corona is there the whole way. It's the servesa that brings people together. Grab some lime, spend your postseason like you're on the
Starting point is 00:14:25 Playa. Corona La Playa waits the official servasive MLB. Get yours at order Corona.com. 21 plus, relax responsibly. Corona extra beer imported by Chicago. Illinois. The Yoffs? The Yoffs. I like that. I like that. Some people don't like it.
Starting point is 00:14:41 It's annoying Jake's stuff. Trev's the seventh. And that's where these might unfortunately be final snaps for Gossman, because he was out dueling Yamamoto up until this point. And I don't know. I guess I'm interested what you think. Do you think, man, that Will Smith fastball. I know you didn't like the.
Starting point is 00:15:04 run on it, but that's, I think 95% of that goes to Will Smith to get his hands in on that and to keep that fair, like, that's an impressive swing. Is Will Smith a short-arm guy? Because he gets him out, but he pulls him in.
Starting point is 00:15:21 I mean, where that pitch is. Josh Willingham used to love guys with big short arms. He said, number one, we can bench press with the best of them because we don't got that far to go. And number two, we can turn on a fastball. I don't think Will Smith has short arms
Starting point is 00:15:38 but he makes him look short the way he pulls him in right there because he gets him out. Yeah. Maybe that's his know-how like humans copy animals like make yourself big to intimidate and stuff. Is that Will Smith like,
Starting point is 00:15:51 hey, throw it in there. See what happens because he did in second deck in Toronto? Yeah, and he knew it right away and he pulled it the right way so it wasn't hooking. It was just straight. A great,
Starting point is 00:16:05 swing by him and Dodgers go up to 1, 107 and a half off the bat, 29 degree launching. That's about as perfect as you can do, people, 404 feet, beautiful swing. At that time, you're like 2-1 seems great because of those six and 11 pitch innings, all of a sudden Yamamoto's pitch count looks good. You know Dave Roberts is just like, he's saying, can I go to my guy Yama, to my guy Roki? That's what I'm trying to do, people. that's the game plan.
Starting point is 00:16:35 And then, of course, we get our guy. Max Muncie does the opposite of pulling the hands and goes out, gets one out over the plate, man. Bam! It's got a great swing. It's not easy to do that, man. I know he hit it 100 miles an hour off the bat, but it's just not easy to drive the ball like that the other way.
Starting point is 00:16:56 Your swing has to be so dialed in. And when Max Muncie's got the glasses on, any swinging a hot bat for the Dodgers, you have to look out. You got to look out. So 3-1 at that time, a couple more runs for the Dodgers on a past ball and not great baseball, I guess you could say, by the Blue Jays. But I don't think it really mattered because Yamamoto was so locked in at this point.
Starting point is 00:17:22 Hey, did that ball hit Freddy's foot? It felt like nobody cared, but it super felt like that ball hit Freddy's foot. Do we got to get replay of it? I don't know. we've got the main angle here. And look like it hit off his glove. I don't know. They did ump cam and that one looked like it took a weird.
Starting point is 00:17:41 I don't know. And then it was interesting because they intentionally walk Freddie when it goes to 2O that, you know, in theory the Dodgers would be the one to challenge that. Freddie didn't react at all, but also Freddie wants to hit. Hey, tell me how that inning started. Well, after the first out, my guy. Andy Pahas getting it going at the bottom of the order. That's been missing.
Starting point is 00:18:08 That could be what the doctor ordered for the Dodgers. That would have been two outs. Shohei coming up against Louis Vuitt. Can't believe the twins traded him. And then, yeah, I don't know. 4-1 turns to 5-1. And everyone, I think every baseball fan at that point, it was in if Yamamoto finishes this,
Starting point is 00:18:31 game, there's no way for Toronto to win. And I don't know, maybe that's obnoxious because, okay, if they get to Yamamoto a little bit, then that's when they're going to go to Roki. But he was so locked in, man, and it was just impressive. He could tap whatever button he wanted on the controller, and that pitch was going to come out and in a good location. And when a pitcher is grooving, man, you just see the confidence that that ninth inning, where he was locating his pitches was discused.
Starting point is 00:19:00 was disgusting. He struck out the side in the eighth. All so good. Like, yeah, he was dialed in. I believe he ended the game, and I was just counting in my head. I don't have the stats in front of me. He was it 20 in a row to end the game?
Starting point is 00:19:14 Yeah. Sheesh. Yeah, that's not bad. And, I mean, I don't know. Oh, do that one again, Dan. He gives the pitchers hop there. I think it's the next one. This one.
Starting point is 00:19:29 Skirt. Yep. Yep. If you get a little hop step on that landing leg, you're, you go. I mean, I think you have to try to do the Yamamoto challenge again at the office. I know it's midnight there, but after this show, I think you got to do it again. You know how to do it now. You can do it. Yeah. And maybe. Challenge. Yeah, maybe.
Starting point is 00:19:50 Great for the Dodgers and their bullpen who doesn't have to throw again. It's not always going to go this way, people. Yeah. So if you're a Dodger fan, like you're not out of the weeds, yet, I still think there is some exposure that you're going to have to get, obviously. But just quick, a little bit more on Yama and kind of what this means. I mean, back-to-back complete games against two of the more pesty teams in all of baseball, and the Brewers and the Blue Jays, guys that just have great at bats up and down the lineup.
Starting point is 00:20:25 And I think you could put the Blue Jays kind of at a different category than the Brewers, if we're being honest. They just hung an 11 spot on you the night before. Yeah, man. An 11 spot. And here's Yama saying like, hey, earmuffs. Oh. I don't give a fuck.
Starting point is 00:20:41 Hmm. I'm going to go nine on you. Nine, four hits. I'm going to retire 20 in a row to end the game. I don't care. That's nuts. That's not. That performance is, I mean, if it's, what else is it,
Starting point is 00:20:58 than legendary. It's in the world series. Back-to-back starts like this. So, I mean, I'll call it legendary, because it is. I mean, it is. And, yeah, just a reminder who this cat is, um, he came over. And we did the whole, we did a little bit. And I'm trying to stop these conversations. Pretty much everyone that's coming over from Japan these days can play ball, because they play really damn good ball over there. Nest. That Yamamoto, who came, came over 510-170, a lot of teams lined up and said, we would love to give you $300 million to play baseball. And he's showing why.
Starting point is 00:21:42 His last two starts are just insane, are just insane. The Brewers, which I know they had a tough postseason, but that's partially because of him. And then, yeah, to do that against the Blue Jays, like depending how these blue jays go the rest of the way i mean it might be remembered as a all-time insane performance yeah so that's what i'm trying to go and this is a little late-night simulation talk right now uh when like does enough time pass that we can look back on world series moments and say shit that was actually legendary like in the moment because you're like
Starting point is 00:22:22 oh it's it's right now it doesn't you know maybe it doesn't carry the weight but you know fast forward a couple years it becomes that like Madison Bumgarner in the 2014 World Series that's stuff of legends what he did there like are we going to be sitting here in three years four years being like do you remember those last
Starting point is 00:22:45 two possibly three Yamamoto starts and what he did for the Dodgers in 2025 like I think we will so I'm just trying to like portray the weight of what we just saw because again, yes, Blue Jays, incredible performance game one. It's a series now, great, but Yamamoto single-handedly, you know, won this game for the Dodgers. Yeah, I was just in our sheet basically texting with Dahl because the joke I was going to make, and I think I figured it out,
Starting point is 00:23:16 was I think managers that have gone starting pitcher to closer this postseason, I think they're 3-0 or 4-0. also managers that have just gone complete game are 2 and oh and that's both Yamamoto right now. So again, add that to our analytics binder. Love that for us. When we take over the Rockies. And Trev, because we're on him and we should be on them more.
Starting point is 00:23:40 It's the midweek. What day is it? It's literally Saturday, Jake. Yeah, not midweek, no. The Best Western Road Warrior, which has been a Friday thing all year, brought to you by Best Western Hotels and Resorts. It's Yamamoto, bestwestern.com.
Starting point is 00:23:57 Yamamoto, here's a couple of the stats we've got. Retired 20 Blue Jays in a row. Coach Trev had that first World Series complete game since Johnny Quato, 2015. Is that the Royals? Yes. He had the bullpen too, and he just said, screw that, huh? First pitcher with back-to-back complete games in the same.
Starting point is 00:24:22 postseason since Kurt Schilling, 01. They had a couple starters on that team. First Dodgers pitcher to pitch a complete game in the World Series since Oral Hersheiser, 88. Little Poppy, not alive yet. I love Oral Hersheiser.
Starting point is 00:24:41 I was going to clip that and cut out the last name. Yamamoto is the first pitcher to retire 20 plus batters of a postseason game since 1956, Don Larson. He had a good night that night. You're disgusting. A perfect night. Thank you. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:25:02 And then this is a little more dodgery, but when starters go six plus innings this postseason, the Dodgers are 9 and 0. Every other team is 7 and 8. So, yeah, that one Dodgers weakness still lurking, but guess what? Didn't need it tonight at all. Roki hasn't pitched in,
Starting point is 00:25:26 Rokey hasn't pitched in, what, by game three, it's going to be 10 days. Yeah. Start Roki. Why not? Well, we're going to get into the matchup, which I think is fascinating,
Starting point is 00:25:41 by the way. Should we just go there now? Because I think we've covered game one pretty well. The only question I have is just start Boba Shett. I was just going to go there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right? Just start Boba Shet.
Starting point is 00:25:52 I'm sorry. That was a little cute. If you're going to pinch hit him, just start him. Yeah, I'm wondering if there's other layers there. I don't think so, because otherwise you wouldn't pitch hit him. But yeah, man, because that, okay, go back to the- He doesn't look healthy. Like, he's not running the ball out at all.
Starting point is 00:26:09 Sure. So, like, I guess you could say, hey, like, give him the pinch hit. You can run for him automatically, and you can't do that at the beginning of the game. I guess. if that's the case, then, you know, I don't know. Yeah, it's just... Then he should never start. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:26:26 If that's the case, he shouldn't start anymore, but I have a feeling he's going to be starting next game. And, okay, what if Bo Bichette was involved in that first inning when you might have had your best chance against Jan Moto? Like, you can do so... I was shocked. I was in such Saturday live stream mode that I think there was a groundballed ICF, and I was like, what?
Starting point is 00:26:47 I was shocked that Bichette wasn't in the... in the game. So I wonder if there's more to that. George Springer keeps getting hit by things that really suck to get hit by. I don't know. I think he's okay. It hit a weird part like between the forearm and the wrist there. But, God, he's getting banged up. Anything else from this game or do we start getting excited for game three? Let's go game three. Let's go game three. Tyler Glass now, friend of the family, we could say that.
Starting point is 00:27:22 Max Scherzer, I can't say that, I hope to one day. But man, here we go. Another Dodger starting pitcher that can lay it down on you. I think Tyler, compared to Yamamoto, has a little bit more susceptibility for the wild or big inning, which, by the way, Yamamoto no walks. Oh, yeah, no, he was in control all game. insane. So, I mean, it's going to be that test again. I mean, Glassnow can be as intouchable as someone gets in baseball. But can the Blue Jays put together that one to two
Starting point is 00:27:55 innings to get him out by the fifth or six? And then Scherzer, man, I don't know. I'm, I'm scared to give the same speech again because this lineup is a little different than Seattle's. But we're going to see what the old man's got for one more night in October. Glassnell's longest outing of the year, seven innings pitched you know, so he's, you can't imagine him getting the bridge
Starting point is 00:28:23 or like not needing a bridge to Sasaki. Like there's going to be some other guys having to come in game three, most likely. Shurzer, I think that's an interesting choice not going to Beaver there. John Schneider had some quotes about it saying
Starting point is 00:28:39 you know, Scher it was he had some extra rest he wanted to get Bieber some extra rest because he was coming off a TJ and you know just thought that was appropriate he also thinks that game three there first game at Dodger Stadium Max is obviously pitched there before it was a Dodger I always forget that he was a Dodger he thought he could handle that that a little bit better and let Bieber kind of get settled in and again have the extra day so I'm okay with it he also said then that means Scherzer can be available for game seven okay like fire me up I'm aged already
Starting point is 00:29:14 great pitching matchup kind of like guys that get it done completely different especially at this point of their careers that right like who it seems what I'm trying to like put this together and I can't really put my finger on it but like Max Scherzer salty old wily veteran
Starting point is 00:29:36 Hall of Famer and then Glass now's like I'm just kind of me and I just throw really hard and I'm like super good looking and like just different ways to go about things, right? They approach life differently but have ended up in the same place. Thank you. Thank you. Life is completely different. Yes.
Starting point is 00:29:57 But also same. Also same. Like they would, they both probably love each other. Like that's, we were laughing today during the live stream because we were like, I think Zoe asked. He was like, what show hey really like? like, well, that's a great question. We asked that. I asked that, I think, either to you or to Chris Rosen, and somebody commented, there's like a zillion Japanese interviews that you can go and, like,
Starting point is 00:30:20 check out. I haven't done it. Well, I was, from there, I went, it blows my mind because I forget if it was a Dodgers account or if it's Glass Now's account. But, like, Glassnow's a dude. Like, that was code for what Treve and I are saying. He's great hang, like, likes to talk about things outside of baseball. loves baseball
Starting point is 00:30:40 but he like he spends every day with Shohay Otani and they're both on the pitching staff so like I bet I would just love to know their interactions and I think the truth of the truth of it
Starting point is 00:30:55 like Shohay's a dude he's a guy he's a guy let me ask you this question real quick would you rather watch a show with Shohey O'Tani and Tyler Glassdowne hanging out or
Starting point is 00:31:07 old Missouri teammates Max Scherzer and Kyle Gibson Those are two completely different shows Player Trev I've never been more confident in saying I would enjoy the glass now show Really? I know the opposite way
Starting point is 00:31:29 I would have I would have This would shock people the better clips would be from Gibson Scherzer I mean, some of those clips would be fire. But give me the show, hey, Glass Show. At least I think they were teammates there. Did I just make that up?
Starting point is 00:31:46 Who knows? And why even double-check it? God, I guess what else is significant in game three that we'd... I don't know. It feels a little weird that, you know, baseball normally, it feels like it's a ton of moving parts, but it feels like when, is Toronto going to get a look
Starting point is 00:32:08 or will they get a look at the Dodgers Bullpen, which is a fun game. That game didn't happen tonight. Okay, do you think they changed the lineup? Does Toronto go with Bo Bichet in the lineup or do they stay with the kind of FLEFA and then bow off the bench?
Starting point is 00:32:27 For me, it's a no brand. I'm still, I still don't fully understand tonight that, I mean, So back-to-back games, maybe that was a thing. They have the day off. They have the travel day. So I'm almost guaranteeing Bubeshet starting on Monday. And for the Dodgers, I think they run the same lineup out there.
Starting point is 00:32:51 I think they have it. There was talk about Pahas and what do you do? Can you make an Alex call? Does Edmund go play center feel? But it seems like Edmund's not ready to go out there. So they'll probably run the same lineup out there. as well. Yeah, and they just believe in what they do.
Starting point is 00:33:09 Pah has got a single tonight, does that spark him? Kike Hernandez has made the most postseason appearances for the Dodgers in their all-time history. Love that. What a life. What a life. We'll be together Monday
