Starting point is 00:00:01 Hello and welcome to Talking Baseball. Game 5 is in the books. What a performance. Toronto, Tray, you savage, makes history. Wait it for the standings of this one. Let's talk ball. Sir Anthony Dominguez. Awesome Kim. No bat. Where is he? M.A. Hello and welcome to Talking Baseball presented by Seek, Use Code Jam playoffs for 10% off your playoff tickets.
Starting point is 00:00:33 And all of our special playoff editions of Talking Baseball. Baseball have been presented by T-Mobile, whether you're streaming, checking stats on the road, or at the ballpark using that magenta status and those perks. TeamMobile is with you. Head on over to T-Mobile.com slash network if you want the best network. Speaking of the best, that is Trevor. I'm Jake Storelli. Rob Seracco is producing.
Starting point is 00:00:58 Daltz on live stats and info. And we, well, I don't, or no, this isn't giving away the series. We might be heading into the last game of the season on Halloween night after a savage performance coach, Trev. How are you? No, don't do that. No. What did I do? What did I do?
Starting point is 00:01:16 You have no idea how long I was trying to spend on the Twitter, like, AI thing, trying to put Hassan Kim's face on a milk carton. I couldn't figure it out. You savage, unbelievable performance tonight. I mean, what ended up being 12Ks, no walks? Command of three pitches. It was dominance, man. And again, I know we've said it a million times, and it's all over the broadcast,
Starting point is 00:01:46 but this guy was in Dunedin in April. Yeah. Hit every stop. Here he is. Just blowing the Dodgers up. First four hitters that studs in the Dodgers lineup go one for 15 against him, with a bunch of kids. So, uh,
Starting point is 00:02:05 Wow, what a performance, man. Crazy and Toronto had another Toronto inning, which is becoming part of the calling card. And yeah, you know, they had a really good graphic, but Dan Eden is low-A. He then went to Vancouver to New Hampshire to Buffalo. And when Tray Savage started the year, it was probably like, hey, if I make it to New Hampshire,
Starting point is 00:02:29 that would be a pretty nice season. instead he's pitched in two world series games he's been lights out of the playoffs he's a young breakout star um from pottstown p a how do you like that are they still low a and high a i thought it was just a ball double a triple a it's a but if it ain't high a then what is it pa i don't know what does that mean i don't know uh should we get into the game i'm waiting for you coach got my lighter right here maybe we wrestle again this morning? Let's get into it. It's down to a best of three.
Starting point is 00:03:10 Can you snow? What Blake Zilla is cooking as he tries to be the rock for L.A. against you savage. Nasty, splitter can't hit. He's your savage. As Trey is the stallion for the blue birds, top one, pitch one. David Schneider, the electrician, brings a jolt with the lead off Homer, and pray he doesn't bring that. lip tickler around your lady. Top one. Pitch three. Junior looking like a senior.
Starting point is 00:03:43 Vladito goes yard. It's two nothing J's. Bottom three. October Kike, look at the hair. Cuts the lead in half. It's two to one. But Dalton racks up the stats on a triple. And Ernie adds in Ernie to Snell's Day with the sack fly three to one. It would stay that way into the 7th, but it was no seventh heaven for Dodger fans. Bam, bam, barger walks it in on the wild pitch. Here we go. Here we bow. One more time.
Starting point is 00:04:16 Has Toronto feeling fine? Here we bow now. RBI single. And not only that, but the kid is an absolute savage. Trey ends the night with a two ball. Seven innings pitch. Three hits, 12 K's, zero walks. one earn run
Starting point is 00:04:36 You savage to sir Anthony To Hoffman Blue Jays Take game 5, 6 to 1 final I believe it's Davis Schneider You know I got caught up there Because I've been calling BBD Who's David Mendelsohn
Starting point is 00:04:55 I've been calling him Davis For about three years So I'm really caught in between with those two You're a swap guy anyway A standings in this series the Toronto Blue Jays 3 and 2 the Dodgers 2 and 3
Starting point is 00:05:11 We're one game away But how? They're a super team I'm in a fight with both fan bases right now Which is crazy If you didn't watch every game of the Blue Jays How did you not know they were going to beat the Dodgers
Starting point is 00:05:24 in the World Series And the Dodgers were a flawed team That won 93 games Were in the first place in the division For two games Or only Just stop. Yeah, unless they win the next two games
Starting point is 00:05:34 and then they still win the World Series. Oh, my gosh, dude. I said the Dodgers inevitability doesn't seem so inevitable right now. Fire tweet, by the way. I thought at least. And the Dodgers fans came out and drove saying, you must not have watched these games if you think they were inevitable. This team stinks.
Starting point is 00:05:54 I'm like, whoa. If you can tell, Trev got sucked into the internet. So we're going to try to wash that off this show. And I don't know, man. think we should start talking about the Toronto Blue Jays and probably Tray you Savage. You can't start there because the top of the first poppy wasn't in the game yet. That's a great point. He had not entered the field yet.
Starting point is 00:06:18 And there was two runs on the board because Schneider goes Big Fly off Snell, first pitch heater. And then Vladdy goes Big Fly second pitch heater, which I don't know is that. just, A, there was a decision to be made to put Schneider at the top of the lineup or in the lineup at all. They press the button. It pays off instantly. And then, I don't know, do we think they had a tip on Snell's fastball? Because Snell didn't throw his fastball until the last pitch of the second inning, or was it just like, screw this? I think that might have been in his head. We'll probably never know. I mean, I didn't love the location of those fastballs,
Starting point is 00:07:01 to be honest with you. If you're going up there saying, I'm going to be on the heater and he'd comes inside like that. You keep the hands inside. Pop, that's what happens. But it was, yeah, it was, uh, it went silent after that. Bo was like, can I get one of those heaters? And Snell was like, no, you're, you're not going to get anymore. But David Schneider, to go up there. And look, uh, you know, hasn't been great this postseason, but still like, they just have their formula here. So he goes up there, turns out on one nothing, takes the energy out of the stadium right away. Vladie, I believe it was an 0-1 heater that he hits out. Um, and he's just been an absolute dog.
Starting point is 00:07:36 A real, like, we're talking about one of the best offensive posties we've seen ever, you know, as far as, you know, what he's been doing. So two nothing right away in a guy like Blake Snow, you're already feeling great. We didn't know what Trey was going to have because, again, it was still the top of the freaking first. But it's just, I mean, the Blue Jays do it, man,
Starting point is 00:08:00 because it wasn't just those two homers. And then Kurt gets on, and, you know, Varsho, we thought hit into a double play, he ends up getting thrown out, but just more pressure, more pitches. So that's what they were trying to do, and that's what they do, they have good at bats,
Starting point is 00:08:13 work the count, they understood the assignment, get Blake Snell out of there and get to the bullpen, although he went into the seven, um, they've been doing this all postseason long, and they continue to do it, uh,
Starting point is 00:08:28 before our guy, Trey even came in and dominated the game. Yeah, and I do, I guess I'll count them, myself. I guess it's interesting that Snell goes literally the rest of that inning not throwing a fastball. The next fastball he throws is the final pitch of the second inning. So he almost goes two innings basically without throwing a fastball. So what is that? That could be a lot of different things. But also like, okay, let's reverse engineer this that
Starting point is 00:08:56 Schneider doesn't click it. That, okay, first pitch fastball wasn't in a horrible spot. And Davis Schneider had been one for his last 10 in this postseason getting a start. He hasn't been playing a lot because there haven't been a lot of lefties. And then Vladdy, man, I know what you're saying if you're sitting heater, but that's all, I don't want to say that's his signature swing, but there's not a lot of guys that can drop the bat head kind of at that angle. Because it's not like he really fully opens up his hips. He just gets the head of the bat down there, but he's the bad man on the Blue Jays this postseason
Starting point is 00:09:31 that giving him a fastball, that's the risk you're going to run. And yeah, instant two nothing in the biggest game of the season. Yeah, Vladdy creates space on the inner half. And it is the hip going a little bit. You have to do that. You have to keep your hands there, but you also have to get the hip out of the way.
Starting point is 00:09:49 You see the rotation there. And, I mean, when you're able to take a pitch like that, which is, you know, it's not a bad pitch, also not a great pitch. When you're able to take that pitch and keep it fair without it hooking, that's when you know your bat path is correct. And Vladis is right now because, as we've talked about so many times, these guys are looking to have good at bats.
Starting point is 00:10:14 They're looking to keep their bat through the zone. So in case he doesn't get that fastball in, it's a fastball away, you know, the bat through the zone. Now he gets to base it up the middle or base it to right field. Like this is what they all do. Right. There's nobody on that team is up there. trying to hook thing. Like everyone's trying to use the big part of the field. I don't know, man.
Starting point is 00:10:36 It's been incredible. And again, having started talking about their starting pitcher is 22 years old dominating. Yes, but it was a good note that this all happened before he gets on the field, which had to feel a little better for him. And I think that was that was the note I was trying to say that I didn't. like, yes, Vlad's hip opens up. His foot lands where it normally does. His shoulder stays in throughout the process that it's, it's not like he cheated on the fastball, which would have allowed him that some guys would have hooked it foul.
Starting point is 00:11:08 Like, his intention is to go out and getting that pitch where he did with that swing path. I love we're talking hitting right now, just early in the show. He's not rotational. He's through the ball. Coach, if you start to throw that shoulder there, you know Josh Donaldson, he talks about landing. He'd love to land with his front foot facing the picture, like straight ahead.
Starting point is 00:11:30 That's hip clearance. But again, yeah, like you just want to create space here. However you do it, keeping your shoulder in allows you to keep that bat path going this way. If I start to turn my shoulder, obviously my hands and my arms are connected to my shoulder. So if I start going that way, then all of a sudden I get rotational with the barrel and I get the hooking top spin type of ball flight. But these guys, because they're not trying to do that, and they're just trying to put barrel on the ball with a good swing, I mean, that's what we've seen. It's awesome, man. It's, it's, it's what you should be doing. We tend to get away from it from time to time because, well,
Starting point is 00:12:10 I guess, honestly, the biggest reason, Jake, is because we pay for slug. Yeah. That's the biggest reason. Well, it's going to be interesting seeing going forward if Toronto can win a couple more ball games. And that's where the conversation gets ugly Because they're like, well, they did slug We just talked about two homers But I don't I actually I don't have my full thesis on that yet It's where I caught myself earlier in the postseason
Starting point is 00:12:33 Slug starts with contact Like you know, okay, coach track I have a thesis. Just be strong. Oh, okay. Be strong and be functionally strong So you can whip the bat through the zone. You want to have bat speed.
Starting point is 00:12:45 It's great. It's not the end all be all. But be strong. Lift again, but be functional. Be able to, you know, manipulate your body in the, correct way and put the fucking barrel on it, Jake. That, I'm sorry, that's an early effort.
Starting point is 00:12:56 Damn. But I'm passionate about that. You can do everything in the world, do all this, everything. If you can't put the barrel to the ball, it ain't going to happen for you. No. Rule number one, put the barrel on the ball. Because guess what? You could say, oh, what about getting, hitting strikes?
Starting point is 00:13:13 Sure, great. But there's plenty of guys that put the barrel on the ball on ball. If you could put the barrel on the ball, you're going to be a good hit. Yeah. Hey, another weird Jake theory that I'm developing. I think guys should swing at pitches that are low middle because you can get the barrel of the bat on the ball, even though it's not necessarily a strike.
Starting point is 00:13:34 I know that one's going to throw you through a loop because whatever, but that's for the off season. I have one more hitting thing that, okay, where my hitter's at. Do you like that graphic that's the swing path, green, yellow, red? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You do, okay. I have some, I don't know. I'm not in love with it, but I, again, I shouldn't be the judge and the jury.
Starting point is 00:13:53 on. I, you know, swing plane and pitch plane are very interesting to me. That gets really technical and nerdy sometimes. And, like, there's decisions made, at least the twins will make decisions sometimes based on, hey, this guy's swing plane matches the plane for the pitcher, so let's get him in there. I'm like, I like that. You have a better chance, but also, can you get the barrel to the ball? Right.
Starting point is 00:14:19 Like, some guys are just, some guys just have hand-eye. Like you read about it is, Bobbo. Yeah, I love that. I don't know, coach. They all look very similar to me. I guess that's what. Oh, I mean, how do those look similar to you? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:14:34 I mean, maybe, you know, two guys compare something and you hope it looks similar. Hand eye, man. Okay. Farrell to the ball. That's all we need. Let's start talking some Trey Savage because he ends up kind of being the full story there. Gladys 87.4 mile per hour swing on his first inning Homer was his hardest 2025. That's a freaking, that is a, that's hard.
Starting point is 00:15:00 That's in, that's in Stan range. Would they say 87? I'm going to say that's not even right. I know that I know that's tweeted out by, I'm, I'm saying we might have a, we might have a replay. Holy shnikes. I thought that's like rare untouchable. Junior Camerero, isn't he this, isn't he the, uh, the bat swing Vlo King at like 80 average?
Starting point is 00:15:21 I want to check it tomorrow. I might, but either way. I'm like Vladdy. Functional. He's functioning strong. He's big, he's a big strong guy. Shout out to another first baseman. Trey is Savage.
Starting point is 00:15:36 Seven innings, three hits, no walks. 12 strikeouts. Trev, there was a while, and I was streaming this with Swilly and Norp. A, he's a character. He's, you know, should have never been put in front of a camera. But he, you know, he was kind of doing like, are we about to watch something special? And then Kiki turns on one and it's not.
Starting point is 00:16:01 We still did watch something special. I mean, this has never been done by a rookie. And outside of being a rookie, the first pitcher in MLB history to have 12 strikeouts in zero walks in a game against this Dodgers team, the first pitcher to record 12 strikeouts in a World Series since L. Duque. That mother, that MFer fought for his.
Starting point is 00:16:22 life to get over here that he wasn't scared of anything on a baseball field. It's one of the most impressive outings we've seen, and I don't know. Are we starting to get into a weird... Okay, I'll go back. Like, Cam Schlittler did something similar against the Red Sox, and we said, how impressive is this? Is pitching talent just... Are we going to break every pitching record at some point?
Starting point is 00:16:47 Oh. I know. That was a lot. I got two Chris Roses. Yeah, I don't know. I got two Chris Roses. Savage is nasty. Yeah, what we saw from his Savage tonight was control of three pitches.
Starting point is 00:16:57 And I think a really good job of sequencing and kind of mixing them throughout the night. But, you know, the splitter's devastating. And he would go to that. And then when he felt like somebody was on, he could still blow a fastball by you. Then he's got the slider to keep you honest. Like everything was working for him tonight. And yes, like I said, like he has such a unique arm angle that like you got to see him a few times. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:21 You just do. And if he makes mistakes, you can get to him. But if he's on with that arm angle, it's just you see the swings. I mean, you don't see Freddie taking swings like that too often. Shohei will take an errant swing from time to time, but the still shot of him with a helmet off, like flailing at a pitch. Like that's pretty badass for you savage. He was dominant.
Starting point is 00:17:44 He was what, you know, Snell needed to be tonight for the Dodgers. and he was, I don't even know what to say about him. They just, he never gave the, there it is right there. Sheesh. He never gave him a chance. He really didn't. I mean, Kike got the one heater mistake turned on it. Great.
Starting point is 00:18:06 Other than that, man, it was just lights out. And I know this Dodgers team hasn't been hitting. We've talked about it. Still a good lineup. Still like some really, really talented hitters in this lineup. Okay. So you got to just talk The story of the game
Starting point is 00:18:24 It's Trey Savage and that's it It truly is Yeah I mean there's Just some crazy numbers So it's okay sit on the fastball That's what Kiki got 256 fastballs in his career Before allowing his first homer on it
Starting point is 00:18:40 And that's what Kiki got And then tonight, okay So what are we sit a little off speed kid 39 swings at off-speed pitches, 21 whiffs, 53.8% to this Dodgers line. Like, this wasn't a insert team that you think is bad. I'm going to keep names out my mouth right now
Starting point is 00:19:01 that we open it up and we're like, oh, wow, he mowed down a bad blank team. This is still the Dodgers. This is the World Series, and he did that on the biggest stage. It's Justin C. And I saw him at one point. he struck out of Tani and he said, Take a seat, geek.
Starting point is 00:19:18 And I was like, whoa, Trey is Savage. You must be. Unbelievable. That's crazy because we are partners with C Geek. And the MLB playoffs, there might be one more game. And if you're in Toronto,
Starting point is 00:19:30 you're going to want that 10% discount code. The NFL is in full swing. The Joe Bros and Billy Elish are on tour. Yep. And all the sports are kind of back, except baseball is winding down. So whatever you want to see, Seekek has it, 70,000 different events,
Starting point is 00:19:49 music, sports, whatever you were looking for. And the code. The code. J.M. Playoffs, 10% off your next set of tickets at Seek. 10% off any tickets with promo code, J.M. playoffs. Do you know the difference in his pitch mix tonight versus what he's been throughout the year? I know we don't have a ton of data on him throughout the year.
Starting point is 00:20:11 tonight 43% sliders. On the year, only 29% typically. 29% splitter and last place by one pitch was the four seamer with 28%. So that's typically a 45% pitch for him. He felt the slider was working. I know he got beat on one fastball, but that's like, that's kind of feeling what's working, but also playing a little bit of chess right there. Hey, you might have a game plan against me because here's what I've done in the past,
Starting point is 00:20:44 but I'm going to change everything up on you. It was a master class. It really was. Yeah, and you've said it a couple times now, but the three pitches is so significant. And a lot of ball people may know that. We may have some new baseball fans, but to have three good ones,
Starting point is 00:21:00 to have three good ones that you can throw for strikes and that are good enough to get past MLB hitters, it's near impossible. And I mean, look at Dodgers 1 through 4. Otani Smith, Betts, and Freeman. Four guys that have arguments for cops at their positions went one for 15 with 8 p's. It's not like, oh, he got to the bottom lineup and cleaned up.
Starting point is 00:21:24 He cleaned up on everybody. Everybody. And I guess the other, I think there's one more Toronto conversation before we get to kind of just the Dodgers side of things. They have the quote unquote, blue jay inning. It's the top of the seventh. Addison Barger, or no, excuse me. Yep.
Starting point is 00:21:45 Inside outground ball base hit down the third baseline, yep. Right. Addison Barger goes to second on the wild pitch. Well, they're going to bunt ICF. Right. He tried. Couldn't do it. Then all of a sudden, hey, we're good.
Starting point is 00:21:59 We'll just take that. Will Smith couldn't find it. Glad Jr. Walk Enriquez comes in. So this was our conversation from yesterday. Who do you? you like? Who's your number two? Because we're, we're starting to approach Rokey territory if you can tie it up or get back in this game. They go to Enriquez, who you got to love the arm talent throwing 102 and through strikes the other night. The strikes weren't really there.
Starting point is 00:22:27 He walks Vladdy, he can't find it against Beau, so he just, he throws one dead center, which I think at that point he had to aim for because he wasn't throwing strikes. Kirk walks after that. Yeah, just every Toronto batter, it feels like they're not going to expand and it feels like they're going to do they're not going to try to do too much with the pitch. I know we keep saying that, but,
Starting point is 00:22:54 okay, Bichette's hit. 100 down the dick. Does he try to turn on it and hit it as hard as possible? No, he just takes it to right field for the RBI single. I mean, that's kind of who he is as a hitter. You know, you're totally right. You know what, coach. I'm trying not to say it.
Starting point is 00:23:10 I know you're thinking about it. This is eerily similar to a couple teams last year in the World Series. Oh. Some sloppy baseball by the Dodgers. He lost me. Put the ball in play and see what happens against this team. I mean, they were on every fucking, I'm sorry, another one. They were on every podcast talking about how bad the Yankees were defensively
Starting point is 00:23:35 and all they had to do was put it in play. And now we're kind of seeing. not getting flipped on them a little bit, Coach. So there was a lot of extra bases. Most of that was from like the battery. I mean, that three wild pitches in one inning. Yeah, but Teo misses a ball down the line for Varsos triple. Like they have not played clean baseball.
Starting point is 00:23:57 Tommy Ebben made an air, made up for it in the 18 inning game. Like there's a lot of stuff that is kind of coming back to, to haunt them, bite them. it's kind of what's the what's the word I'm looking for what goes around comes around that's a phrase not a word but you got it it's not a word but I know there is a word that's like ironic is it
Starting point is 00:24:18 full circle is it I don't know comment saying Alanis Morissette right now isn't it ironic thank you what you think so another thing I'm going to add to that and that's why people are here they're like hey bring up the Yankees
Starting point is 00:24:33 this Toronto team when the A.L. East goes into their planning sessions, Toronto is one of the teams that knows how to take the extra base real well. Like, the Yankees have been bad in division the past couple seasons because those teams scout them and they know, hey, you can try and take the extra base at almost every notice
Starting point is 00:24:53 that for all those examples you're talking about, a wild pitch that sits in front of Will Smith, they got the extra base on that, the Teyothar play. Sorry, that was my South American accent leaking out. What goes around, goes around, goes around, back around. I can't wait for Vladdy to go on. Vladdy, come on our show. You can talk about the Dodgers all you want here and just say,
Starting point is 00:25:19 yeah, all we have to do is put the ball and play against the poppy. Laddie slapped the bag on that ball to first base. He did. That's a great play. That's a big play. Let out a roar on the double play. Okay, closing the loop on that. Sneaky JT song right.
Starting point is 00:25:36 there underrated. Oh, I mean... And you ought to know Alanis Morseh used to be in my karaoke movies. I think I watched an Atlanta documentary that was just fire. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:49 Sneaky hot. Did you forget about me? Like, you really let it eat up there? People like it. They all did not like it. Get off the stage, little man. For the Dodgers. Trev, what do we do?
Starting point is 00:26:04 We shook up the lineup a little bit. Will Smith moves up to the two spot. Hey, it's the weird kind of, we can almost say it too much with baseball where it's like, hey, you wash it. The kid was unhittable tonight. We said this about Toronto after the 18 inning game. Like to the next game, it doesn't really matter or carry over.
Starting point is 00:26:25 It feels like stuff's carrying over a little bit, pop. Guys aren't hitting. I mean, here's what's got to happen for them. They're relying for Yamamoto to save their season. though, to save their season and force a game seven so everyone's you know what's are real, real tight. What? And then anything can happen.
Starting point is 00:26:47 That's what the Dodgers have to do. Yomura, hey, slap them on the butt a few times. Go nine dog, you got it. You've done it twice already. There's a third time. We're not fully to game six yet. But you said what have they got to do? That's what they got to do.
Starting point is 00:27:04 Yeah. This team, I mean, okay, start hitting. They have to hit. Start hitting. But as the Dodgers fans have told me, if you watch them all 162, this is not a good offensive team. They've been struggling.
Starting point is 00:27:16 So what's going to happen now? I mean, they have to rely on Yamamoto the go and just be an absolute stud. They got a pop a homer or two in Toronto. And they have to hope for a game seven where they can go Glassnow, Shohei, Sasaki, and nobody else put your spikes on. Opposite of all hands on deck.
Starting point is 00:27:35 No hands on deck except those three guys. That's it. This bullpen ain't it, coach. I want Kershaw with the spikes on. Sure, but just for just for vibes. Yeah, just let's run that back. Yeah, I don't know. Again, some of the lame, corny playoff stuff,
Starting point is 00:27:54 but that first inning in Toronto, like if Shohei can clip Gossman, it can be one nothing. And they need Yamamoto to be special. They need him to go at least seven and get it to Roki, but if Roki pitches three innings, like what's that for game seven?
Starting point is 00:28:11 But it doesn't matter because it's literally do or die. Are you, okay, this feels a little unfair because it's the Dodgers and they're some of the best hitters ever. What do they do? Like, is there anything? I know you're a high-vilo guy, and that's your answer for a lot of stuff, but like, what do you do you do to try to shake this off?
Starting point is 00:28:33 Oh, nice. Click. I think it's very difficult to change your approach at the 11th hour. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. My big thing to get out of slumps all the time, there's two. Bun for a base hit and extreme velo. Over, overwork the velo.
Starting point is 00:28:58 Get in a cage, see something coming to 105 inch, you slow everything down. And then you've got to tell yourself not to get big. Like pick your spots if you want, but. I think if you're going, if, if you're ever going up there, the way they're approaching it right now, if they're ever going up there trying to slug, it's not going to happen. Now, if they go up there saying,
Starting point is 00:29:20 wow, like Coach Trev said, let's just get the barrel to the ball, like slug will happen. Like, it'll happen. It really will. So really minimizing excess movement, trying to put the barrel in the ball as best they can, that can help.
Starting point is 00:29:33 But I think a little small ball here and there, man, like the bottom of the line needs to get going. Like, do something. Like, Alex Cole had a good swing on, like, a bad pitch. He kind of almost got past Varshow on that one. But, like, those guys, show Hey came up to bat with a runner on one time. And it was Alex Call barely walked. He wanted to strike out again.
Starting point is 00:29:54 Like, you got to be able to get that bottom of the lineup going. And then hope for, hope the top four in your lineup can produce kind of out of nowhere. But if we're being honest, coach, like, it's, it's all in Yamamoto. hands for the Dodge. And the Blue Jays, you're just, we're going to be ourselves, Coach. Right. We're going to be all right. Oh, nice. It's a music pod. It's kind of is, which is really, because I think either of us are known for our music, although we were in your car, we were cranking through the streets of L.A. We were. It was a Gucci Main and like Juice Man. Well, damn. Yeah, that's what people call us on the Reddit threads. They call me Plufei Maine.
Starting point is 00:30:36 Blue v. May. Oh. Nobody likes that. Davis Schneider, second player to hit a lead off Homer off the first pitch of a World Series game since Derek Jeter, I guess. Game 4, 2000, so that's pretty cool. Gladdy's 54 total bases are the second
Starting point is 00:30:54 most in a postseason to Randy Rosarena, the best ever do it. And away from Randy, by the way. How sick was that? That MF is not real. And yeah, man, I'd Again, like the Snell giving up homers, he gave up three in the regular season, and he gave up two on the first three pitches.
Starting point is 00:31:15 So, A, like kind of baby snaps for him locking in and keeping this a game after getting punched in the mouth. But also you got punched in the mouth and your team wasn't able to score that many runs. I mean, the final line looks terrible because Enriquez came in and couldn't record an out. Which happened to show me last night. he's going to end the World Series with just a really, really bad two games pitch. The overall numbers are like 12 and 2 thirds innings pitch with like 11 runs or something like that. Yes, game one was bad. He was good tonight.
Starting point is 00:31:54 If they had a bullpen, I don't think he comes out for that final inning. But they don't have a- Sure, sure, agree. I mean, he was at, I have it, what did he start that inning with? He started it. I was trying to write it down. 78 pitches to start the inning in the top of the six.
Starting point is 00:32:10 He went one, two, three. That's great. I didn't write what he did at the end. I mean, he came out. 116th pitched Cade Schneider, 110th pitch by Snell. He walked Jimenez on that curve, all that kind of got away from him.
Starting point is 00:32:26 So the pitch count was up there. He did all he could. I know. That's where I'm saying. Like, I don't think he should be knocked for this one. He came into that final. Lendingwood 92. Think about what you just said.
Starting point is 00:32:36 He threw a buck 16. Like, we don't see those numbers anymore. And I will, to our show listeners, A, thank you. Subscribe, share all that good stuff. Go check out some old Randy Johnson and David Cone box scores. Because 116 used to be like, Al Leiter. Like, they used to throw 140, 160. Am I Christmas?
Starting point is 00:33:01 I'm jumping into traffic. He should throw 500 pitches in the game. Burp Blylevin, he pitched both games of the double header. I mean, he kind of did. If you want to, if you look, people in the chat, you know, you could be older. Yeah. I think we have a variety of ages watching the show. If you're younger, have no idea who Burt Blyleaven is, that's fine.
Starting point is 00:33:23 I mean, he is hilarious. You love him. Go check out the baseball reference and see some of the innings pitched during the years. I mean, he's one of me. many in that era, but he was, that was kind of like what he wanted to do. Right. And now I got to get it up. Yeah, I'm going.
Starting point is 00:33:39 I was one step ahead of you. I mean, the people are here. 94.5 career war for Burt, by the way, if you're about that life. We got a 325 innings in 73. 3.25. That's 25 complete games from Burt there. In 80. 25 complete games, nine shutouts.
Starting point is 00:34:00 And he was Syung 7. In 85, 37 starts, 24 complete games. He had a 9-8 war that year, a 252 ERA, 325 innings, nine shutouts, 25 complete games. He led the league in FIP and was Sy Young 7. Who was ahead of him? Now I'm going there. Jim Palmer. Yeah, good.
Starting point is 00:34:26 Nolan Ryan plays. Bert Blalind by far had the best year of any of these guys. If you go back and redo awards, it becomes interesting. Yes. Yeah, that's a pretty good year. Yeah, enough of that. Again, if you're looking slightly more modern, David Cohn in 95, 135 pitches against Seattle.
Starting point is 00:34:52 And then he followed that later in the series, five days later against Seattle, and through 147. So like the arm can do it I guess they weren't throwing 98 And as hard as they could Whatever, that's offseason stuff Nolan Ryan struck out 383 people
Starting point is 00:35:08 That's good year And they were trying to hit for contact That guy That guy Um Trev let's um Let's tee up Game 6 a little more
Starting point is 00:35:22 And we do have to do it in Wednesday fashion Even though it's Thursday on the West, on the East Coast, excuse me. I'm still, I'm still all out of sorts from my L.A. trip. And it starts with D.K. Bet the cycle. That's right, people. We do a single double, triple, and a homer with our friends from Draft Kings. Use code jam baseball when you sign up at the Draft King Sportsbook.
Starting point is 00:35:45 You getting on or you getting over, coach? I'm driving you in. You're powerful. Well, that's good, because the single is Yoshinovu Yamamoto to go five plus innings. have five strikeouts. He literally has to. It's like a requirement. That is the easiest bet you're ever going to have right there. Complete game last time. Not gambling advice. 6.2 and three of his last four and three of the four
Starting point is 00:36:10 postseason starts, seven and three of the four for strikeouts. So that's our single. We're getting on. He has to go over five in his pitch. Like, yes. For the double, Ernie Clement to record two or more hits. I mean, It's all this guy does. He'll dive for a single on an infield ground ball. He'll drive one into the gap. Whatever you need. He's sitting 391 this postseason.
Starting point is 00:36:38 Eight multi-hit games and 16 postseason games. He's a menace. Most importantly, producer Rob has been betting this all postseason, and he's done good because Clement has eight postseason multi-hit games so far. The sick puppy, both of them. The triple. Mookie bets to Homer. Mookie is three for 23.
Starting point is 00:37:03 He's very clearly a click off, but he has a 306 lifetime batting average against Kevin Gossman and 869 OPS and 53 played appearances. Now's the time, Goss. Now is, or excuse me, Mook. For the home run. He got game. I get to choose between either the Dodgers to force the game.
Starting point is 00:37:31 or the Blue Jays to win the World Series in six. Now, Dodgers fans are telling me this team stinks. 93 wins. Never the team. The stat I was going to give you was from April 28th on. They spent two days out of first place. But people were telling me that this team stinks and we should have known all along. Awesome.
Starting point is 00:37:54 I'm doing this because I'm an entertainer. Okay. And I understand show business. And I understand, you know what baseball wants more than anything? Game 7. Yamamoto. Huh. Dodgers force at game 7.

Starting point is 00:39:26 Game six, coach. Halloween. It's spooky. I'm getting in trouble, by the way, by my wife. I know. We wrestled about it this morning. Shout out to the, I hope you guys figured it out. Shout out to all the parents that are going to have to wrestle some Halloween and baseball.
Starting point is 00:39:46 It's a little easier on the East Coast, I think, because you can kind of wrap up Halloween a little earlier for the 8 p.m. game. You're in it. I don't, I don't. Yeah, because we try to take our kids a little earlier. So five o'clock game. Right. I'm going to have a bunch of kids and everyone in their cousins at my house trying to
Starting point is 00:40:02 watch this game. We will be in costume. Can you reveal or do you want to keep it a secret till Halloween? I actually think it's really lame when people are not going to tell you the costume. Right. So I'm going to tell you my costume. I'm Guy Fieri, of course. Right.
Starting point is 00:40:18 Oh. Oh, you didn't know. I didn't know. Oh, I got a great Guy Fieri costume. Can't wait. I did know. I didn't hear what you said at first. You said it quick and I thought it was a Lord of the Rings character, so I just nodded through it.
Starting point is 00:40:31 I'm very excited for your guy Fierre. You said it. Thank you. I'm being Guy Fier. I was like, oh, yeah, he must have fought Gallum and shit, and I forgot.
Starting point is 00:40:40 I'm very, what, I'm asking this as a friend, what's, what's Liv being? I think she's still figuring out. She was going to be like a, a waitress,
Starting point is 00:40:52 like at a diner, which would have made sense, but she's like a procrastinator when it comes this, so she's probably going to be like a sexy cat, which is a win-win. That's kind of, that's kind of my lane, live.
Starting point is 00:41:03 I should back the hell out. I know you just said you hated this. I have a little something fun crafted up for Halloween. So I'm going to tease that for the people. My costume's so good. I can't tell you because you might copy it. I think you might like it. That's all I'll say.
Starting point is 00:41:19 And anything else baseball-wise? Look at that. The World Series Cup, the World Series hat. This is a pretty good hat. That's a pretty good hat. You can pull that off because you host the best baseball show in the world. of all time. Top five with baseball today, whatever.
Starting point is 00:41:37 Anything else for game six? Like are the Dodgers, do the Dodgers do more lineup funk? Is there anything they can do? I would love the CS on Kim. I know. A spark, man. There's not a lot of energy offensively,
Starting point is 00:41:55 and obviously, I mean, they haven't hit, so you're not going to get a spark. And I told you, like the regular, games, the Blue Jays have dominated. It was that way again to it. Yeah. So make it, make it an irregular game somehow. I can't get Miggie Rowe out of my head too, just from the standpoint of like, okay,
Starting point is 00:42:16 maybe getting Mookiee off short could clear his head. And maybe Miguel Rohas makes a play. Maybe he's in a position to bunt. Where are you going to put Mookie? Put him at second? Put him at second. Out of nowhere? Dave Roberts, talking about Mookie pressing a little bit and just do your job.
Starting point is 00:42:30 It is true. they were down 2-1 last year to the Padres. They took care of it. Freddie was talking about that. I don't know. I need another shake-up. And like, is the answer putting Tommy Edmund in center? Because I think I'm okay with that to get
Starting point is 00:42:49 Heisson Kim or Miggie Roe in the game. Like, I think you've got to do something. Yeah, they got to change it up. I like that they got rid of the lefty, like the showhead. Mookie, Freddie, like lefty kind of lane. Okay. By putting Will Smith in there and putting Mookie at third,
Starting point is 00:43:08 that takes that away from John Schneider. Like, that was a good move. Yeah. But the bottom, you know, call or Pahas, they haven't really done much. So you got to figure it out. And move K.K. up? I know that's in the regular season that feels so bizarre,
Starting point is 00:43:26 but I know who this guy is in October. And then if you're Dave Robert, if you do that and you lose. That was kind of a panic move. You do that in a win. And it's like, is he a genius? The sixth sport we enjoy.
Starting point is 00:43:42 Anything else, Coach? I was trying to edit that Hassan Kim. Yeah, if you could find that, that would be big for my program personally. After a while, I just said, hey, put Hassan Kim in a melt cart in, just like yelled at it, and this is what it did.
Starting point is 00:44:00 Okay. Get that off the screen. That's not Please get that off the screen If the Dodgers If things were low That might be the low point I got it.
Starting point is 00:44:11 That's somebody God I like you and AI wrestling Just battling You've done a lot of wrestling today 13 minute wrestle session Let's call it Thank you for everyone That's been tuning in all postseason long
Starting point is 00:44:26 All year long All you know half decade long This show's been going on You guys are the absolute best. You might have one more game. No way. Can we do your costume, bro. Now you've just put it like on a pedestal.
Starting point is 00:44:43 I know. I know. And I get that. It hits a lot of courts. Okay. It hits a lot of cords. Are there going to be a couple coronas on the stream Friday night? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:44:57 I don't know. Halloween? Thanks, everyone.
