(00:50):
the way tire buying should be. That school will start.
Got you that excited? Ah Hey, my family is so
unbelievably exciting. They are almost all of them together are
almost as excited as Ion myself, like all that, and
they're they're craze, They're crazy for the Tigers. They're almost
as excited as Ion myself. Okay, good at a lot
(01:10):
of positivity. I mean, it's day one of the playoffs.
It's a beautiful thing.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Wall to wall, pillar to pillar, post to post, just
game after game, big sequence after big sequence, and big
performances and school well going six innings. I just love
my timeline though, Like Rogers gets the hit, it's like,
really first playoff heroes, Jake Roberts, Jake Rogers, Sure you
know behind the.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Plate, Sure, that's that's gonna be the guy.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Like it's just always funny because everybody wants you know,
Tatis has the home run here or whatever. Everybody wants
the stars, and I was like, wait, that guy, that
guy's gonna be the guy to lead, almost like Tipic.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Someone's got a too, so has a home run tonight.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
It's fine, that's brought it off, But everybody wants tattoos.
It's okay, the superstars, the big name guys to count
for one hundred percent of the rush.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
That's not the way this works, they said, superstars, Mike, Well,
you know what, though I did get a lot in
my time, I going, well, at least we got James Shields.
Big game, Jake, you have to actually win a big
game for your nickname to be big game. Superstars like
James Worthy. Big game James. He won a lot of
big game he did, James. I don't know that James
Shields has won a big game. What big game does
(02:14):
he win? I mean, I don't know, back to his
time in Tampa, but he had some opportunities. I don't
think he won many big games. I have to go
back to the fife and times of James Shields. But
that's like calling James Loney big game James. Oh, he
hit a double in one game for the Dodgers once
in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Also like Jaws as you can absolutely, I mean, like
thirteen year career for James.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Yeah. No, I'm not saying he was I'm not saying
he didn't have a decent crew. It was good. But
a big game James like that, He's not you know,
he's not Bumgardner, you know, showing up in the playoffs
all of a sudden and it's unbeatable. But here's the best.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
In twenty eleven, he had eleven complete games. That was
more than all of Major League Baseball combined.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
And I'm pretty sure James Shields also gave up Bartolo
Cologone's home run. I'm pretty sure he did. Look it up.
I'm pretty sure he was a big game. James, Big
bart Big Bartolo, Hey, big Bartolo, I'm pretty sure he
gave the home run. Look it up, look it up,
look at it. We had a big night in the NFL. Obviously,
a huge superstar has now requested a trade when earlier
(03:15):
today his team said yeah, we're open to trading him.
So we're gonna have more on that story coming up
in about fifteen minutes. This could change and Lebron, Uh, this
could change the NFL. I know exactly the team that
is going to go overboard to go get it. Could be, Hey,
they are on the board. Uh Cleveland, cle Cleveland's got
a couple of good receive See, I'm letting it out
(03:37):
of the cande back. Cleveland has a couple of good
players at that position that we're gonna talk about in
a few minutes of a couple of good players walking
through that door. They got a guy that I'm starting
as one of my top two receivers in fantasy. I'm
not happy about it, but I'm doing it. Desperation is
a stage I'm starting Jerry Judy like, oh no, desperate
(03:59):
in one league, It's like you could feel the sweat
just pour off me. Oh, there's a whole lot of
sadness coming off right there. But tonight, obviously, the first
night of the MLB playoffs. One game still going, middle
of the sixth inning thanks to Fernando to tis Juni,
you're in a big home run. The Padres lead the
Braves three to nothing. Again Padres coming up to bat
in the bottom of the sixth inning. Meanwhile, earlier today,
(04:22):
three big w's and all from the visiting team. The
Royal shout out. The Orioles won nothing. The Tigers, behind
school balls six inning, gem hold off the Astros three
to one, and I mean hold off, they barely hold
them off. Astros line out with the go ahead runs
on base, and the Mets come from behind to beat
(04:43):
the Brewers eight to four. Hey, guys, this ain't like
last weekend? Is it? Ain't like we're first weekend of
the season, is it. Oooo?
Speaker 3 (04:51):
There was a great, great job of not hitting the
panic button after the early struggles of Savarino. Oh okay,
because we talk about we talked about baseball, and certainly
the Dodgers being the team. Here we're in Los Angeles
where we broadcast and a lot is always on Dave
Roberts and the management and pulling the strings whatever, sure,
and the pulling of pitchers too early, right, we watched
(05:16):
it in other games. Sevar Reno struggled early, ends up
giving you six strong. I wanted him out of that
game in the second inning.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
That's why. That's what makes me real life. Sometimes my
worst int like us, I think I'd be a really
good baseball manager, but sometimes, like the playoffs like this,
like my instincts would just got like, you can't what
are you doing? He doesn't have it. He's giving up
nine hits in three innings. Take him out. Why is
no one warming up? And then he settles down enough
to give you six innings and and and turn it
over to the bullpen, and the bullpen is lights out,
(05:44):
and the Mets hit and they win eight for it.
I go, no, Okay, That's why maybe I should look
into being head coach of the Jets, because then he
might help more right now than the Mets.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
But also coming off a doubleheader, obviously, Game two was
what it was. After that big win in those final
thrilling innings that send that tape to the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I can't wait to talk about the Diamondbacks owner later.
That's gonna be a lot of fun. That was fas well,
I mean, because we talked a lot about that story
this past offseason. But the fact that you had to
trust and that and that's a difficult word for a
lot of managers this time of year. You had to
trust that Severino was going to be able to either
(06:23):
work through it or you're just gonna get your ass kicked.
And that's the way it goes. Because you had to
exhaust right the last four and it's been unforgiving And
it's easier to say that in a five or seven
game series, but a three game series, it's like, hey,
this is a three game series. Man, we can't do this.
But I mean, look, the Mets stay with Severino and
they went to the bullpen when they had to. And
(06:44):
this is the big takeaway from today. In Day one
of the playoffs, right, Tigers beat the Astros three to one.
Schoobl comes out after six innings, eighty eight pitches. Did
he have another inning or two in him? Probably? Probably?
I would have wanted to put him now. Maybe he
said I'm done, but I would have put him out
there for another couple of inning, says, you want to
win this game and then win tomorrow, because you need
to win this game. When did the time Yeah, with
(07:05):
him pitching, you win or you're done. And then what happened.
Then the Tigers had to hit, there were levers, and
then they got a lot of trouble in the ninth inning,
and the Asters put a lot of runners on base.
And when the final out is a line drive to
your first base, and when the bases loaded, you know
you escaped, right. You gotta know when to have to
go to the bullpen. Look at that first game, Royals Orioles, right,
they're throwing zeros, throwing here Corbyn Burns who made himself
(07:25):
a lot of money today. Yes, eight ins for the Orioles.
One run. Hey, teams know you know when you have
to go to your bullpen, right, this was a close game,
won nothing Mets and the Brewers. There's your out. There's
your game that tells you, oh, you see what happens
when you go to the bullpen when you don't have to.
And I maintained this is the biggest thing in the playoffs.
Doesn't matter the round, whether it's best of three, best
(07:46):
of five, best of seven, is that it's different in
the regular season and you have to manage your team differently.
And I understand that the Brewers have a great bullpen,
and it's what they do is go to the bullpen, right,
It's what they do. But in the playoffs is different.
You don't go to the bullpen until you have to
because what happens in the postseason. The at bats are
a lot. They players grind through at bats way more
(08:09):
than they do during the regular season. Every at bat
is like gold. And I watched the Mets in that
fifth inning and I saw so many good at bats
from from J. D. Martinez to Vientos where they're fouling
off pitches and they're staying with the count. Every at
bat is like gold. So it's tougher on the relievers.
In the postseason. You go to the bullpen when you
(08:29):
have to, because what's gonna happen is in the postseason.
More often than not, the more pitches you bring into
the game, eventually you're gonna find the guy where it's
not his day. I say it all the time. You
could go to the bullpen. You're gonna find that guy where, boy,
it's not my day. You're gonna give away the game.
The Brewers going through the first four end of the
fifth inning, Freddi Perrault had calmed down a little bit,
and you'd set down and I think nine Mets in
(08:50):
a row. He started to groove a little bit, and
the Brewers had a one run lead, but sixty eight pitches,
and the Brewers said, nope, we're going to the bullpen. Uh,
you didn't need to. You didn't need to. Freddy Perolta
was pretty much grooving at that point. He had a
wild second inning where he threw a lot of pitches,
but the Mets had not done anything in the last
three innings. Right again, nine up, nine down for Freddy Parolta.
(09:11):
After that he's pitching, well, he's at sixty eight pitches.
Let him keep going. But the Brewers decide, no, this
is what we do. We go to the bullpen. And
I get that. You get a little bit. Managers get
bullpen happy because now you don't have to worry about
pinch hitting anymore. You can just do it as often
as you need. You have to worry about this and this.
This guy's gonna pitch here. It's a lot easier. But
what did the Brewers do? They went to their bullpen,
and they found the first three guys. It was not
(09:32):
their day. First three guys out of the pen, not
their day when Peralta probably had at least a couple
of more innings in him. Now you're get to the
six or seventh inning before you bring it in your bullpen,
and you can do a lot more then you cant. Hey,
not your day outcoming. But the Brewers decided we're gonna
go to the bullpen before we need to. And there
you go. There's your result. Mets win eight four, and
(09:52):
they go for the clincher tomorrow with Sean Manea, and
there's your three games so far. The Tigers went to
the bullpen. You know, wait a little bit too, you know,
they could have gone a little bit longer. They almost
blew it. Their Brewers decided to go right away, and
they blew it early. And that was your game. Teams
do that, Managers do that, and I don't understand why
they keep doing this. Dave Ry, wait till the Dodgers
start playing. When playoff, Dave starts going to the He'll
(10:14):
go to the bullpen after like two batters in the
first inning, Boom boom, boom boom, And this is what
happens to the Dodgers because he'll find the guy that
it's not his day. And in the playoffs it's a
killer and good. The at bats are different. The players
to every at bat looks like right before they come
up to bat, the hitting coach spends five minutes with them,
this is what you're gonna do. Look at this, Look
at this. You don't like it, grind it, foul it back,
(10:36):
don't be able to do. I feel every at bat is
is it. It's there's so much into it. It's not
like the regular season. Yet managers decide, oh, it's gonna
keep going to the bullpen. Guys, yeah, okay, and you
see what happens. You do that you wind up loving well.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
But we watched during the regular season, right it's while
we bemoan the three outcome world of Major League Baseball.
But guys go up packing because there's another day, there's
another game.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
This is it.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
This is legend making time, is money making time. You
talk about you know, Burns and what he's gonna be
able to command. But for the Burs, when you saw
Pearlta go out, I was like, why why sixty eight
pitches nine straight?
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Retired, and yes, all right, there's some trepidation, the old Hey,
we're gonna he's gonna go through the lineup again, and
maybe these guys had great at bats last time.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Guess what, you got a lot of baseball still to play. Man,
it's a fifth inning. This is not a little league
game that ends in the sixth. Okay, that's not a
White Sox game. It's not a White Sox game. Well, no,
White Sox said they had a really good record. I know,
but you're only down a couple of units after six innings.
If you stop the fight, that's that's all right.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
But in the end, for for the burs, you just
opened the door to chaos. Sixty eight pitches and you
pull the guy out like this is this is your season.
It's the best of three.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
It's not a long series where it's like, all right,
we've got the luxury of of running it out and
we can mix and match and wish and want and hope,
like sixty eight pitches, nine straight, retired and if he
gets in trouble, yeah, have a guy warm right, go
to your bullpen game and all right, and employ that strategy.
But it just seemed at that point, if you could
(12:17):
steal another inning with your starter. I don't understand its like,
and with the Dodgers gonna be a whole other thing
because we don't know how many starters they actually had.
Right seventeen guys started a game this year, what you've
got actually, once the series begins on.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Saturday, who the hell knows? So Dave is going to
be matching up.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
I can only see the printouts like they've wallpapered offices
all around Dodgerville because they're trying to figure out every
permutation and every matchup that they can possibly come up
with as they start looking at their opponents. But for
this one, I mean, you guys caught a big break.
Guy had just settled down and started to deal, and
(12:57):
he gets lifted, and.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Then they couldn't find the right guy. And every at
bat the Mets had in that inning, I said to
myself there on, it's a lot JD. Martinez coming up,
and it could tell he wasn't you know. Somebody kept
fouling off and said, you know what, I have something
I can hit the other way. And that was the
hit that that broke, that broke him. It went from
six four to eight four, and that was the game
like six four, the Brews were still in it. They
come back, they come from behind. It was a big
(13:19):
seesaw game. But that hit, which is just a nice
little bingo between first and second base, and that's what Martinez,
who's someone wants it off the wall if he can.
But he knew I see him coming. I'm going he's
not on this. He's not gonna pull the fastball. He's
going to go the other way. And he found the
pitch he could control, and he slammed it through for
hit to drive in two runs in the game. That's
how every at bat is in the playoffs. Now, come on, Jay,
(13:42):
I mean every.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Teaming he was shocking.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
No no, no, no, no, no no. It was that
was just Severino. It was just it's just Severina. He
doesn't have it. Take him it like like we were
fraining from I was laughing. Take him out of the
game at one point. At one point, my wife comes
to me and says, I don't think Benny, my dog,
(14:08):
I don't think. I don't think Benny. Benny's not gonna
want to watch games with you if you're gonna do
this all the time. Poor dog, all stretched out, did
Benny Bark twice because they were playing Milwaukee. No, he's
he's someone who he's a dog that tries to sleep
and if you and if you move, he gives you
that look back like, hey you blankety blank, I'm trying
to sleep here. Oh sorry, Benny, Sorry Ben, Sorry, sorry,
(14:30):
but it gives me the extra kind of claw as
he walks away. It's that's your dog, just trying to escape. Sorry,
Bunny bites me. But but I mean, I mean, come on,
Severino's giving up nine hits and three innings. Why the
hell is he in the game, Benny, Benny? Why is
he still in the game? Benny, Benny Bark if you
understand me, Benny Bark, if you understand me, poor dog.
(14:50):
But again, we're gonna see it, and you know, it's
the first night of the playoffs. And you wait until
I'm telling you, wait till the Dodgers get involved and
playoff Dave, just to keep my team out, Just wait,
just wait until they write in Cofax is the problem
starter for game three. Thank god, both of those games
are on the weekends, so I don't have to see
your mug. Oh it does coming over to watch, have

Lines from movies, Jason, none of those are in Men

Speaker 1 (17:29):
Do whatever you please. We're eating oranges and we're making

A pretty cool thing at Universal that you can have

Speaker 5 (18:00):
It's being a black ride, right, yeah? So where's this
other ride that you're talking about?
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Utitive? That would be a cool ride. Okay, here you
are here. It is your handcuffs. You're on a bus.
The bus goes off the road. Everybody, a child gets
off the bus. The bus got orange. You're wearing orange,
just an orange jump. Yeah. Well it also makes it
it's a ride, makes so people could see it makes
it harder for all. Yeah. So you so you get
(18:26):
out of the You get out of the bus and
you're in handcuffs, but you find a way to get
him off. Most of the people on the bus either
die or are recaptured, but you, you have made it out.
You have to clear your name because someone broke into
your house and killed your wife. And I don't know
why you would do this, because you can always leave witnesses.
For some reason, the people behind it say, let's send
(18:47):
a guy in with one arm. Not somebody that I
don't know what he looked like, yet a stocking over.
You were literally spoiling one of the greatest movies ever.
Will send a guy. It has been thirty years. So
do you know what can you tell us about this guy?
Not much?
Speaker 2 (18:59):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
So, Oh he had one arm? Wait?
Speaker 2 (19:01):
What?
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Yeah? Yeah, one arm? Which one? I forget? But he
only had one? Really, you couldn't fight back a guy
with one arm? Really, I don't know. Nick from the
editor Bay was in that movie Stop you could You
couldn't fight a guy off with one arm? Hey, seal
a war the murders arm. You're taller than he is.
This guy was older than you. He had one arm.
You couldn't well come on, what happened there? I don't know.
I mean in the beginning, okay, and then.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
And now you're making then you make a light of
her not being able to fight off the one armed man.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Arm. I gotta say he was a powerful man fight
off a guy with one arm because I know what's coming. Okay,
I know it's coming from that arm. Okay, Then, but again,
I gotta think I could Maybe you're overpowered, you're frozen
in the moment. I mean, I've missed your jiu jitsu class.
I don't know. I think you gotta be ready when
a guy with one arm comes at you. I know
what's coming at me. I didn't expect the guy with
(19:50):
one arm to be in the in the house. I
didn't expect them to send somebody that was so easily
identifiable and recognizable that part of it. We just send
a guy with one arm to come in. Oh, all right,
that's great. And then his next film had to take
on a chef named Casey Ryman Tom Jones. That's tough,
run and then and then and then you know he
had to fight Batman. Yeah, well and listen and you
(20:13):
want to go back. There's a lot of something that
pissed off. I'm sure a lot of Hollywood. He wins
Best Supporting Actor right for playing the same guy he's
played in every movie his whole life. Oh, by the way,
Ray Fines doesn't win for Schindler's List, who was unbelievable.
Leo doesn't win for What's Eaton? Gilbert Grape who was
insanely good. No, no, no, we're going Tommy Lee Jones
because he's eating oranges and we're making odds. That's what
(20:33):

the full kite. Teled de Niro run of singing his
lines like he had and every other.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Every other move like that was my dad always.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
He's like, he plays the same damn guy, Like there
was there was five or six guys go that's all
they do.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
It's the same guy. And Tom Cruise played the same
guy for the longest time. He still does. But I mean,
he makes he's not he's not someone you a. I'm
reinventing the wheel with acting. I'm gonna do some unbelievable
stunts and the action is going to be insane, and
he's gonna throw it back to the way you enjoyed
movies when you're younger. Yes, we're not giving him a
Best Actor nomine. I mean he'll get that Lifetime Best But.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
You get to get out of motorcycle with the American
frag and all that on.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
I got his stuff pulled up. He's literally in some
of the biggest movies ever. What tom Cruise, that's a
pride Tommy Lee Jones, Like Sure, Cruise is the biggest
star we've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
He's in over one hundred movies. He's like Space Cowboys
kicked ass Theace. Cowboys is good. Space Cowboys is good.
I just wanted Lincoln Lincoln, Sure, Washington, Jefferson, stop it,
Hamil Daniel Dave Lewis is coming back to acting. I know,
well when you don't, when you when you retire for
a little while, you get bored. I drink from your
straw exactly. I'm gonna go and start retiring fact to
(21:50):
spend more time with my family.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Like now my family now they're getting into the business.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
So he said, yeah, come out of return like he's
a coach. Yeah, no, spending time with my family. I'll
take that low level D one job. That's fine. You
really didn't have jobs coming your way, did you listen? Listen, listen,
I'm Mac Brown. I'll take that up. Okay, don't forget me,
ty Cobb. He did. He did. Play to Ty Cobb
was a really good movie. It was just a little
slow and just a little slow. Robert was slow. It was,
(22:17):
it was, it was good. It was. That's a movie
that I think came out, not that it was ahead
of its time, but it would be much more appreciated today.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Yeah, you know that type of biopic. Yeah, would have
gotten a lot more run.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
Wasn't that Tommy Lee Jones and there will be blood right, No, no, no,
no bowling ball scene, man.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
That's the other great actor. That's the other sports movie.
Yeah it was.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Yeah. Here's what happens in that movie is they're they're
bowling and Bill Murray shows up and he really you know,
earlier in the film he had found a way to
get rid of his.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
No, what he's doing is he's conflating it with Kingpin
and Woody Harrelson's character.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
That's what I'm doing. I'm saying, now we found a way.
I'm doing the whole joke. I'm doing the bit. Why
did you you'd have to jump into it to finish it.
That's what I was doing. I was doing the thing. Yeah,
but she just kept going. You didn't need it. Was
like the bullpen. You didn't need to come in. I
was fine, you did not need to come in. Now, Luke,
you came in and ruined it. Now you came it
took everything off the rails, like the bus the beginning
of the Fugitive. You did that. That was you. You
(23:15):
did it. Now we're back on the bus. Uh. Big
story in the NFL today Davante Adams. Okay, Davante Adams
now has requested a trade. The Raiders are open to
trading him, and if you trade a second round pick ish,
you could get Davonte Adams. It's a lot of details.
All of this we found out in the last twelve hours.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
I mean it went from speculating ahead of the season
how long he would be a Raider.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Yeah too.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Okay, now we've started things, what's gonna happen? And then
boy as soon as he got hurt and became quote
week to week, this all escalated very quickly.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Now let me let me say a big thing about
this before we get into exactly what's gonna happen, because
I know where he's gonna wind up this All Star.
And look, we knew that it was gonna wind up
happening at some point Adam's coming into the season. He
knew he wasn't happy. He hasn't been happy for a
couple of years. You knew he wanted out. It was
just gonna be a time. And and look we told
you to see, it's just gonna have to wait some
(24:13):
time until we get closer to the deadline. The Raiders
are losing and they and then they're gonna trade him. Right,
So this is not surprising, But how this has come
up this fast is very surprising because it's about a
guy you should know better. This comes up because there
was a social media post and Michael Fabiano sports illustrated.
I talked to him yesterday on the way into work,
Like lewis name dropping and so you can't get him
(24:34):
on the show. It's too late, It's too late. He
is too late. He wakes up early. He doesn't like promotion.
He's a couple of years younger than me, but he's
he's much older than I am. When it comes to be,
he says, he says, it's too late late. He didn't
want the promotion, so he found He's the one that
saw that a post that was put up there DeVonta
Adams who didn't play last week. Someone posted, hey, this
(24:57):
is probably Devonte adams last game as a Raider, and
the post was liked by Antonio Pierce's account. This story
gets out yesterday, and in the ensuing hours that post
was then disliked. But it doesn't matter. This is this
is gotten so raiderish so fast, I don't know. Sometimes
(25:20):
the speed still amaze me, how quickly the Raiders turn
into the Raiders. But this is, this is, this is.
It baffles me because Antonio Pierce has to bleep and
no better man. You're the head coach of the team, right.
I get that You're not too far removed from the field.
You still see a lot of these guys as your peers.
How many stats do you have to see? Antonio Piers
(25:41):
is younger than so and so who is playing for
so and so today? I get it. You're the bleeping
head coach. Man, you can't be liking media posts that
criticize your players. That's that's not what coaches do, and
it makes you not feel trustworthy by other players. Now,
maybe DeVonta Adams doesn't have a lot of fans in
the locker room. I'm sure the devibesure some people that
(26:01):
love them, some people don't like them. But the bottom
line as well, coach is getting involved in social media.
He's liking stuff. Let the players do that. Man, that's
a player's thing. You're a coach, be a grown up,
be an adult. You're the adult in the room. And
he chose this opportunity to basically show, yeah, I want
to be petty. I want to put this out there.
I want to make this thing go faster. When if
(26:22):
you want to trade the guy, trade him, people will
take him. You didn't need to do this, You didn't
need to embarrass him, embarrass yourself as a result. Is
this is something that nobody looks good and it's petty,
And if a player does it, I can shrug and
understand and say, this is what players do. They love
social media, they love doing stuff, they love doing things
like this, they love the attention. You're a coach. You
(26:42):
are a head coach in the NFL. You're not a
linebacker anymore. You're not playing with these guys. This is
not hey as a captain. I'm looking to kind of
get this guy in the right way. No, you're a
head coach. You gotta be. You have to be the
adult in the room. And Antonio Peers was not the
adult in this situation or whoever is running Antonio Piers's
Twitter account. But you know that didn't happen without Antonio
Pierce saying, because we would have known if something this
(27:04):
gets out there, oh, was Antonio Pierce really? Antonio Pierce
would have denied it. I don't know how this happened.
I don't know why this isn't went on the way
it did. We would have found that out. You have
to be the adult and instead he's raidering. So okay,
But that's that's the that's the that's the takeaway for
the first part is that I really I can't believe
this is a head coach doing this, not a player,
(27:25):
and he doesn't understand what he's.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Doing well, still controlled sometimes by emotion, the human element
that comes in in this case, but It's not a
flame you know, post or anything. It just you know,
it was from SI Now and it was something that
Fabiano doing a fantasy bit theorized with Adams being out quote,
(27:46):
don't be surprised if DeVante Adams has already played his
last nap with the Raiders, Michael Fabiano says, and that
it's got the you know, wide eyes emoji and he
likes that. Okay, that's kind of interest showing us the
cracks in your locker room. But Antonio Pierce, wasn't he
one of the guys that really campaigned for him last year?
Was that went on a bit of a run, But
(28:07):
it wasn't you know, DeVante Adams and the other veterans didn't.
Then they go to bat and then he's addressing the
injuries and all this stuff, and he refers to him
as seventeen. The other guys get their names as he's
talking about you know what, they have expectations going forward,
but yeah, well number seventeen. It's like, okay, so now
(28:29):
we've reduced that personal human element of this and we
reduced him to his jersey number. So that's problematic. But yeah,
I get the emotion, but you know, the old Herm Edwards.
Don't hit Sin, don't hit sin, don't hit like like
you still got to keep this together, not to mention
you don't want it to look like it's a dumpster fire.
So hey, come in and get us because we've exposed
(28:53):
our week under belly because DeVante Adams is unhappy with
what's going on in the locker room, whether it's the
play of inshow, whether he'd rather have Aidan o'conn because
remember he gave Aidan O'Connell a tepid endorsement when he
was doing all the rounds for that Receiver Netflix thing.
I think we were the only show that didn't talk
to him during that time he might be running. So
(29:13):
I'm glad we took that hard stance. But it's just
the idea that Eric, don't don't let him see you
sweat and if things are going asunder for you there,
you know you got the job based on a lot
of good will and a hard fought end of the season,
and to have that unravel in four weeks, four weeks
coming out of a win, coming out of a win.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
This is where they're at in Raiderville. The Raider's gonna Raider,
Raider's gonna raider and Antonio Prescoll Yeah, I'm gonna be that.
I'm gonna be the cool It's like he's trying to
be the cool dad. Hey would be the cool dad
where I let the underage kids drink at our house
because it's cool. Don't worry about it. No one's getting
in the car, no one's driving. Everything is good. You're
gonna part be the adult, be the parent. Be the
(30:00):
parent here, Yeah, be the adult. And and still it's it's
almost like because I still see him, he still talks
like a player. He still approaches certain things like a player,
like a captain does on a team. And there's a
big there's a reason why someone's the coach and someone's
the captain. Okay, it's not like, hey, it's just a
normal ascension for you. No, there's a you have to
(30:21):
do things that aren't popular that maybe you want to
bite your tongue about because you don't want you don't
want the outside perception to be what the hell is
going on here? You don't want the other players on
the team to go, wow, if something bad goes, his
coach gonna you know me on on Twitter?
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Right, he's he's the guy and he's going after him.
Raider's gonna what do I get exactly?
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Exit? Ou about a Fresco exit Swalling down the Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon. Raider's gone

trending in the wide world of sports? Yeah, major league basement.
Speaker 7 (30:57):
We're in the bunch of October now, and of course,
not only is football in full swing couple of weeks
away from basketball and hockey, but the Major League Baseball
postseason has begun. And as I was about to say,
the Padres leading three nothing, they have just made it
for nothing. He got Shioka just hitting a home run.
That's the second RBI of the day, Kyle Higashioka hitting
(31:19):
a solo home run to make it for nothing in
favor of San Diego. And they're backing an outstanding start
by Michael King. We had some good pitching in the
playoffs today, as Michael King tonight for San Diego, twelve
strikeouts in seven innings of work. He allowed five basits
as well. He has now come out for relief. But
(31:40):
with the outstanding pitching performance he's put on and the
Padres now leading it for nothing. San Diego does look
on their way to leading this best of three series
one nothing. Everything else in the playoffs has concluded. The
Mets with a big fifth inning five runs to blow
the game open against the Brewers as they leaded eight
to four. New York ahead in this to three series,
(32:01):
one game to none in the American League, a couple
of pitchers duels Royals and Orioles. Only one run needed
for Kansas City and Cole Reagan's.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Crown ball base hitler field Bobby.

should we save that?

In the first half and the Royals lead won nothing
in the.
Speaker 7 (32:23):
Six Royals Radio Network with the call Bobby Wood Junior
the loan run of the game as Kansas City wins
it won nothing and Cole Reagan's eight strikeouts and six
innings Tigers meet the Astros three to one as Tariq
scooball six strikeouts in six innings, the Royals getting all
three of the runs on RBI singles in the second.
The Astros made it interesting in the ninth, got the
(32:45):
bases loaded, cut it to two, but ended up flying
out to end the game and then WNBA playoffs going on.
Right now, it's the Minnesota Links leading the Connecticut Sun
thirty six thirty at the break. Earlier today, it's Liberty
taking a two to nothing lead in their series against
the Aces eighty eight to eighty four. Back to you, guys,

Live from the tire Rack dot Com Studios. Jay, how
do you like this song? This song's fine, same dude,
It's good. That's good. Tommy Lee Jones, Right, yeah, does
he have one arm? No, it's the guy he's chasing
has one arm. Oh Adams, No, it would make it
very hard to catch the football. He's got to Beckham
(34:05):
showed you can do it one hand once in a
while at practice. This we talk about that. He can
he play quarterback.
Speaker 5 (34:14):
Hands?
Speaker 1 (34:14):
Uh? Okay, okay, uh, let's get to something else. Yes,
please entirely for something you'll really like. It's over in
San Diego, the Padres Braves for nothing. Coming up in
a few minutes, we'll tell you why Yankee fans are
just hopping mad right now. But look, we now have
(34:36):
the entire day in Major League Baseball. Day one of
the playoffs is all in the books. Best story of
the day. This is where Isaac, when you think I'm
gonna okay, oh, you're just gonna say the Mets. No,
the Mets are a great story. Of course, the Metals
still man the Mets. Look at where we're at, MA
plenty of other stories out there. The best story is
a continuation of the best story of the season. Tigers
(34:59):
are the best story the day. They were the best
story in Major League Baseball this year. A team that
hasn't made the playoffs in a decade. Uh and and
and they can't hit it all, they can't run it all.
But it doesn't matter. You have a cy young winner,
likely a most likely going we have to triple crowded.
If he doesn't win it, then yeah, I mean that
it is a fraud perpetrated of course, just like so
(35:19):
many votes of mbps, Halls of Fame and everything else
that we've seen through the years. But yeah, they continue
on and they just find a way to win. Of course,
beating the Astros. That gets most baseball fans happy. You
know that's never gonna end, right, everybody say it's it's long, no, no, no,
so long as there's the last vestiges of that era.
(35:40):
Even after that, I think now, even after that.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
See then I'll just go back to the happy times
of those uniforms they had with Doan Ryan.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Wait a little too, it comes back to manage the
team when he's done, that's gonna go U. But the
Tigers are the best story in baseball. And you want
to go back to the trade deadline when they traded
players away, they didn't really trade for anybody, and they
had the best record in baseball since that day. They
just find a way to keep winning. And and we
have a lot of great stories going on. Clearly, look
(36:07):
the Padres winning for nothing over the Braves. You know,
the little brother syndrome may have in the West, they're
looking at that big showdown with the Dodgers. But the
Padres have spent a lot of money the last three years.
I spent tons of money. Okay, you have the Royals,
great story. When you have enough number one picks that
many years in a row, you're gonna win. But you
still have to get them right. We've got plenty of.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
Teams that have had the top picks that they've gone wrong.
Because that was one of my like I picked them too.
They didn't win the division, unfortunately, but they made the playoffs,
which was a pretty big long shot when we did
those mid season discussions. So I hate it that it
comes at the expense of the Orioles. Like that's the
series that I hate because you know, I do regular
(36:51):
stuff in Baltimore.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Love.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
I love the youngsters. They've got right, so it's the
battle of youth. But yeah, the Tigers with school ball,
the guy they did in trade.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
No, and and and when when you have the Royal again.
You get getting those high draft that's always gonna help you, right, always,
you always want to pick higher when you can. You
don't want to pick in the middle of around. If
you're gonna be really good, great, If you're gonna be bad,
be really bad. The Royals picking like that for so
long helps The Mets are a great story too. But
the Mets are doing this after having spent so much
bad money, and this is a year where they're just
(37:21):
gonna kind of hang out and we're gonna wait and
spend money, uh next year in the off season. So
we're gonna get a lot of guys on one year
deals because really mismanage the team. We're gonna bring in
Grimace and we're gonna get lucky. Yeah, but yeah, I
spent a lot of bad money that they're trying to
get out from under. The Tigers are it's the Tigers
are the team. It's almost like they're America's team this
(37:42):
year in the playoffs because you look at them, you
never expected anything out of them. I know, the last
ten years they were no good. Right. Miguel Cabrera plays
all the way to the end, finally retires and the
Tigers go back to the playoffs. But this is they
have such a lunch pail workmen's mentality. When teams can't
do stuff when they're limited, it's always fun to see
(38:02):
just how far can they push that envelope. And again,
the Tigers and the bottom third of the league in hitting,
I think they're their bottom three in the league and
stolen bases. They can't do anything offensively, but yet they
find a way to just put enough offense on the board.
And their pitching is terrific, their bullpen is terrific. They
you know, schoobl was great today. That should have let
them been a little bit longer. But now they have
(38:23):
the Astros one game away from going home. There is
no and there is no story more that is more
fun to see and more surprising than what the Tigers
have done so far.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
And it's unlike the lamentations that I'm sure we'll have
when we get to the twelve team playoff for college football,
and that we've experienced for every March that you and
I have been alive, where it's like, all right, we
like the upsets until we don't. Baseball, Hey man, it's
game to game if a guy's feeling it, and he's dealing.
Even the best hitting team can be taken down for
(38:55):
a game and all of a sudden you got your
backs against the wall. I mean, we've seen it, want
watched it year after year. High payrolls, high high energy
and efficient offenses that suddenly gets shut down pitching, goaltending.
Where we talk about the National Hockey League, by the way,
and the Blackhawks are back on the ice. They lost
seven to tonight in an exhibition.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
But you say it like like people care about that,
like you bet on did you bet on it? No? Okay,
it's more just a continuation of my sports misery. It's
a show. I felt like I needed to bring it in.
You're doing stream of consciousness on the radio. Just go
and the block car and no, no.
Speaker 3 (39:30):
But it's that look. Plenty of young draft picks. Has
that worked. No For the Tigers, they had Torkalsen, who
was supposed to be a stud. They had to send
them to the minor leagues for half the year because
he couldn't hit. Yet here they are bottom of the order,
comes up with a couple of big hits and they
take one away from the heated.

unbelievably exciting. They are almost all of them together are

they're they're craze, They're crazy for the Tigers. They're almost
as excited as Ion myself. Okay, good at a lot
(01:10):
of positivity. I mean, it's day one of the playoffs.
It's a beautiful thing.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Wall to wall, pillar to pillar, post to post, just
game after game, big sequence after big sequence, and big
performances and school well going six innings. I just love
my timeline though, Like Rogers gets the hit, it's like,
really first playoff heroes, Jake Roberts, Jake Rogers, Sure you
know behind the.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Plate, Sure, that's that's gonna be the guy.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Like it's just always funny because everybody wants you know,
Tatis has the home run here or whatever. Everybody wants
the stars, and I was like, wait, that guy, that
guy's gonna be the guy to lead, almost like Tipic.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Someone's got a too, so has a home run tonight.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
It's fine, that's brought it off, But everybody wants tattoos.
It's okay, the superstars, the big name guys to count
for one hundred percent of the rush.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
That's not the way this works, they said, superstars, Mike, Well,
you know what, though I did get a lot in
my time, I going, well, at least we got James Shields.
Big game, Jake, you have to actually win a big
game for your nickname to be big game. Superstars like
James Worthy. Big game James. He won a lot of
big game he did, James. I don't know that James
Shields has won a big game. What big game does
(02:14):
he win? I mean, I don't know, back to his
time in Tampa, but he had some opportunities. I don't
think he won many big games. I have to go
back to the fife and times of James Shields. But
that's like calling James Loney big game James. Oh, he
hit a double in one game for the Dodgers once
in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Also like Jaws as you can absolutely, I mean, like
thirteen year career for James.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Yeah. No, I'm not saying he was I'm not saying
he didn't have a decent crew. It was good. But
a big game James like that, He's not you know,
he's not Bumgardner, you know, showing up in the playoffs
all of a sudden and it's unbeatable. But here's the best.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
In twenty eleven, he had eleven complete games. That was
more than all of Major League Baseball combined.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
And I'm pretty sure James Shields also gave up Bartolo
Cologone's home run. I'm pretty sure he did. Look it up.
I'm pretty sure he was a big game. James, Big
bart Big Bartolo, Hey, big Bartolo, I'm pretty sure he
gave the home run. Look it up, look it up,
look at it. We had a big night in the NFL. Obviously,
a huge superstar has now requested a trade when earlier
(03:15):
today his team said yeah, we're open to trading him.
So we're gonna have more on that story coming up
in about fifteen minutes. This could change and Lebron, Uh, this
could change the NFL. I know exactly the team that
is going to go overboard to go get it. Could be, Hey,
they are on the board. Uh Cleveland, cle Cleveland's got
a couple of good receive See, I'm letting it out
(03:37):
of the cande back. Cleveland has a couple of good
players at that position that we're gonna talk about in
a few minutes of a couple of good players walking
through that door. They got a guy that I'm starting
as one of my top two receivers in fantasy. I'm
not happy about it, but I'm doing it. Desperation is
a stage I'm starting Jerry Judy like, oh no, desperate
(03:59):
in one league, It's like you could feel the sweat
just pour off me. Oh, there's a whole lot of
sadness coming off right there. But tonight, obviously, the first
night of the MLB playoffs. One game still going, middle
of the sixth inning thanks to Fernando to tis Juni,
you're in a big home run. The Padres lead the
Braves three to nothing. Again Padres coming up to bat
in the bottom of the sixth inning. Meanwhile, earlier today,
(04:22):
three big w's and all from the visiting team. The
Royal shout out. The Orioles won nothing. The Tigers, behind
school balls six inning, gem hold off the Astros three
to one, and I mean hold off, they barely hold
them off. Astros line out with the go ahead runs
on base, and the Mets come from behind to beat
(04:43):
the Brewers eight to four. Hey, guys, this ain't like
last weekend? Is it? Ain't like we're first weekend of
the season, is it. Oooo?
Speaker 3 (04:51):
There was a great, great job of not hitting the
panic button after the early struggles of Savarino. Oh okay,
because we talk about we talked about baseball, and certainly
the Dodgers being the team. Here we're in Los Angeles
where we broadcast and a lot is always on Dave
Roberts and the management and pulling the strings whatever, sure,
and the pulling of pitchers too early, right, we watched
(05:16):
it in other games. Sevar Reno struggled early, ends up
giving you six strong. I wanted him out of that
game in the second inning.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
That's why. That's what makes me real life. Sometimes my
worst int like us, I think I'd be a really
good baseball manager, but sometimes, like the playoffs like this,
like my instincts would just got like, you can't what
are you doing? He doesn't have it. He's giving up
nine hits in three innings. Take him out. Why is
no one warming up? And then he settles down enough
to give you six innings and and and turn it
over to the bullpen, and the bullpen is lights out,
(05:44):
and the Mets hit and they win eight for it.
I go, no, Okay, That's why maybe I should look
into being head coach of the Jets, because then he
might help more right now than the Mets.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
But also coming off a doubleheader, obviously, Game two was
what it was. After that big win in those final
thrilling innings that send that tape to the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I can't wait to talk about the Diamondbacks owner later.
That's gonna be a lot of fun. That was fas well,
I mean, because we talked a lot about that story
this past offseason. But the fact that you had to
trust and that and that's a difficult word for a
lot of managers this time of year. You had to
trust that Severino was going to be able to either
(06:23):
work through it or you're just gonna get your ass kicked.
And that's the way it goes. Because you had to
exhaust right the last four and it's been unforgiving And
it's easier to say that in a five or seven
game series, but a three game series, it's like, hey,
this is a three game series. Man, we can't do this.
But I mean, look, the Mets stay with Severino and
they went to the bullpen when they had to. And
(06:44):
this is the big takeaway from today. In Day one
of the playoffs, right, Tigers beat the Astros three to one.
Schoobl comes out after six innings, eighty eight pitches. Did
he have another inning or two in him? Probably? Probably?
I would have wanted to put him now. Maybe he
said I'm done, but I would have put him out
there for another couple of inning, says, you want to
win this game and then win tomorrow, because you need
to win this game. When did the time Yeah, with
(07:05):
him pitching, you win or you're done. And then what happened.
Then the Tigers had to hit, there were levers, and
then they got a lot of trouble in the ninth inning,
and the Asters put a lot of runners on base.
And when the final out is a line drive to
your first base, and when the bases loaded, you know
you escaped, right. You gotta know when to have to
go to the bullpen. Look at that first game, Royals Orioles, right,
they're throwing zeros, throwing here Corbyn Burns who made himself
(07:25):
a lot of money today. Yes, eight ins for the Orioles.
One run. Hey, teams know you know when you have
to go to your bullpen, right, this was a close game,
won nothing Mets and the Brewers. There's your out. There's
your game that tells you, oh, you see what happens
when you go to the bullpen when you don't have to.
And I maintained this is the biggest thing in the playoffs.
Doesn't matter the round, whether it's best of three, best
(07:46):
of five, best of seven, is that it's different in
the regular season and you have to manage your team differently.
And I understand that the Brewers have a great bullpen,
and it's what they do is go to the bullpen, right,
It's what they do. But in the playoffs is different.
You don't go to the bullpen until you have to
because what happens in the postseason. The at bats are
a lot. They players grind through at bats way more
(08:09):
than they do during the regular season. Every at bat
is like gold. And I watched the Mets in that
fifth inning and I saw so many good at bats
from from J. D. Martinez to Vientos where they're fouling
off pitches and they're staying with the count. Every at
bat is like gold. So it's tougher on the relievers.
In the postseason. You go to the bullpen when you
(08:29):
have to, because what's gonna happen is in the postseason.
More often than not, the more pitches you bring into
the game, eventually you're gonna find the guy where it's
not his day. I say it all the time. You
could go to the bullpen. You're gonna find that guy where, boy,
it's not my day. You're gonna give away the game.
The Brewers going through the first four end of the
fifth inning, Freddi Perrault had calmed down a little bit,
and you'd set down and I think nine Mets in
(08:50):
a row. He started to groove a little bit, and
the Brewers had a one run lead, but sixty eight pitches,
and the Brewers said, nope, we're going to the bullpen. Uh,
you didn't need to. You didn't need to. Freddy Perolta
was pretty much grooving at that point. He had a
wild second inning where he threw a lot of pitches,
but the Mets had not done anything in the last
three innings. Right again, nine up, nine down for Freddy Parolta.
(09:11):
After that he's pitching, well, he's at sixty eight pitches.
Let him keep going. But the Brewers decide, no, this
is what we do. We go to the bullpen. And
I get that. You get a little bit. Managers get
bullpen happy because now you don't have to worry about
pinch hitting anymore. You can just do it as often
as you need. You have to worry about this and this.
This guy's gonna pitch here. It's a lot easier. But
what did the Brewers do? They went to their bullpen,
and they found the first three guys. It was not
(09:32):
their day. First three guys out of the pen, not
their day when Peralta probably had at least a couple
of more innings in him. Now you're get to the
six or seventh inning before you bring it in your bullpen,
and you can do a lot more then you cant. Hey,
not your day outcoming. But the Brewers decided we're gonna
go to the bullpen before we need to. And there
you go. There's your result. Mets win eight four, and
(09:52):
they go for the clincher tomorrow with Sean Manea, and
there's your three games so far. The Tigers went to
the bullpen. You know, wait a little bit too, you know,
they could have gone a little bit longer. They almost
blew it. Their Brewers decided to go right away, and
they blew it early. And that was your game. Teams
do that, Managers do that, and I don't understand why
they keep doing this. Dave Ry, wait till the Dodgers
start playing. When playoff, Dave starts going to the He'll
(10:14):
go to the bullpen after like two batters in the
first inning, Boom boom, boom boom, And this is what
happens to the Dodgers because he'll find the guy that
it's not his day. And in the playoffs it's a
killer and good. The at bats are different. The players
to every at bat looks like right before they come
up to bat, the hitting coach spends five minutes with them,
this is what you're gonna do. Look at this, Look
at this. You don't like it, grind it, foul it back,
(10:36):
don't be able to do. I feel every at bat is
is it. It's there's so much into it. It's not
like the regular season. Yet managers decide, oh, it's gonna
keep going to the bullpen. Guys, yeah, okay, and you
see what happens. You do that you wind up loving well.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
But we watched during the regular season, right it's while
we bemoan the three outcome world of Major League Baseball.
But guys go up packing because there's another day, there's
another game.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
This is it.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
This is legend making time, is money making time. You
talk about you know, Burns and what he's gonna be
able to command. But for the Burs, when you saw
Pearlta go out, I was like, why why sixty eight
pitches nine straight?
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Retired, and yes, all right, there's some trepidation, the old Hey,
we're gonna he's gonna go through the lineup again, and
maybe these guys had great at bats last time.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Guess what, you got a lot of baseball still to play. Man,
it's a fifth inning. This is not a little league
game that ends in the sixth. Okay, that's not a
White Sox game. It's not a White Sox game. Well, no,
White Sox said they had a really good record. I know,
but you're only down a couple of units after six innings.
If you stop the fight, that's that's all right.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
But in the end, for for the burs, you just
opened the door to chaos. Sixty eight pitches and you
pull the guy out like this is this is your season.
It's the best of three.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
It's not a long series where it's like, all right,
we've got the luxury of of running it out and
we can mix and match and wish and want and hope,
like sixty eight pitches, nine straight, retired and if he
gets in trouble, yeah, have a guy warm right, go
to your bullpen game and all right, and employ that strategy.
But it just seemed at that point, if you could
(12:17):
steal another inning with your starter. I don't understand its like,
and with the Dodgers gonna be a whole other thing
because we don't know how many starters they actually had.
Right seventeen guys started a game this year, what you've
got actually, once the series begins on.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Saturday, who the hell knows? So Dave is going to
be matching up.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
I can only see the printouts like they've wallpapered offices
all around Dodgerville because they're trying to figure out every
permutation and every matchup that they can possibly come up
with as they start looking at their opponents. But for
this one, I mean, you guys caught a big break.
Guy had just settled down and started to deal, and
(12:57):
he gets lifted, and.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Then they couldn't find the right guy. And every at
bat the Mets had in that inning, I said to
myself there on, it's a lot JD. Martinez coming up,
and it could tell he wasn't you know. Somebody kept
fouling off and said, you know what, I have something
I can hit the other way. And that was the
hit that that broke, that broke him. It went from
six four to eight four, and that was the game
like six four, the Brews were still in it. They
come back, they come from behind. It was a big
(13:19):
seesaw game. But that hit, which is just a nice
little bingo between first and second base, and that's what Martinez,
who's someone wants it off the wall if he can.
But he knew I see him coming. I'm going he's
not on this. He's not gonna pull the fastball. He's
going to go the other way. And he found the
pitch he could control, and he slammed it through for
hit to drive in two runs in the game. That's
how every at bat is in the playoffs. Now, come on, Jay,
(13:42):
I mean every.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Teaming he was shocking.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
No no, no, no, no, no no. It was that
was just Severino. It was just it's just Severina. He
doesn't have it. Take him it like like we were
fraining from I was laughing. Take him out of the
game at one point. At one point, my wife comes
to me and says, I don't think Benny, my dog,
(14:08):
I don't think. I don't think Benny. Benny's not gonna
want to watch games with you if you're gonna do
this all the time. Poor dog, all stretched out, did
Benny Bark twice because they were playing Milwaukee. No, he's
he's someone who he's a dog that tries to sleep
and if you and if you move, he gives you
that look back like, hey you blankety blank, I'm trying
to sleep here. Oh sorry, Benny, Sorry Ben, Sorry, sorry,
(14:30):
but it gives me the extra kind of claw as
he walks away. It's that's your dog, just trying to escape. Sorry,
Bunny bites me. But but I mean, I mean, come on,
Severino's giving up nine hits and three innings. Why the
hell is he in the game, Benny, Benny? Why is
he still in the game? Benny, Benny Bark if you
understand me, Benny Bark, if you understand me, poor dog.
(14:50):
But again, we're gonna see it, and you know, it's
the first night of the playoffs. And you wait until
I'm telling you, wait till the Dodgers get involved and
playoff Dave, just to keep my team out, Just wait,
just wait until they write in Cofax is the problem
starter for game three. Thank god, both of those games
are on the weekends, so I don't have to see
your mug. Oh it does coming over to watch, have

Speaker 5 (17:26):
Lines from movies, Jason, none of those are in Men
in Black, though, I get to.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Do whatever you please. We're eating oranges and we're making
odd d's. That's great. Wait, I wrapped it broke his head.
I rap like actors from lines from from famous movies.
I like them. What movie that's fugitive? It was all
the future oranges making odds, he said, famous movies. I said,
(17:49):
come on, it's more famous than Men in Black. You
want me? You want the one best of supporting actor,
A pretty cool thing at Universal that you can have
fun with at floor and floor. That was cool.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
It's being a black ride, right, yeah? So where's this
other ride that you're talking about?
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Utitive? That would be a cool ride. Okay, here you
are here. It is your handcuffs. You're on a bus.
The bus goes off the road. Everybody, a child gets
off the bus. The bus got orange. You're wearing orange,
just an orange jump. Yeah. Well it also makes it
it's a ride, makes so people could see it makes
it harder for all. Yeah. So you so you get
(18:26):
out of the You get out of the bus and
you're in handcuffs, but you find a way to get
him off. Most of the people on the bus either
die or are recaptured, but you, you have made it out.
You have to clear your name because someone broke into
your house and killed your wife. And I don't know
why you would do this, because you can always leave witnesses.
For some reason, the people behind it say, let's send
(18:47):
a guy in with one arm. Not somebody that I
don't know what he looked like, yet a stocking over.
You were literally spoiling one of the greatest movies ever.
Will send a guy. It has been thirty years. So
do you know what can you tell us about this guy?
Not much?
Speaker 2 (18:59):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
So, Oh he had one arm? Wait?
Speaker 2 (19:01):
What?
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Yeah? Yeah, one arm? Which one? I forget? But he
only had one? Really, you couldn't fight back a guy
with one arm? Really, I don't know. Nick from the
editor Bay was in that movie Stop you could You
couldn't fight a guy off with one arm? Hey, seal
a war the murders arm. You're taller than he is.
This guy was older than you. He had one arm.
You couldn't well come on, what happened there? I don't know.
I mean in the beginning, okay, and then.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
And now you're making then you make a light of
her not being able to fight off the one armed man.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Arm. I gotta say he was a powerful man fight
off a guy with one arm because I know what's coming. Okay,
I know it's coming from that arm. Okay, Then, but again,
I gotta think I could Maybe you're overpowered, you're frozen
in the moment. I mean, I've missed your jiu jitsu class.
I don't know. I think you gotta be ready when
a guy with one arm comes at you. I know
what's coming at me. I didn't expect the guy with
(19:50):
one arm to be in the in the house. I
didn't expect them to send somebody that was so easily
identifiable and recognizable that part of it. We just send
a guy with one arm to come in. Oh, all right,
that's great. And then his next film had to take
on a chef named Casey Ryman Tom Jones. That's tough,
run and then and then and then you know he
had to fight Batman. Yeah, well and listen and you
(20:13):
want to go back. There's a lot of something that
pissed off. I'm sure a lot of Hollywood. He wins
Best Supporting Actor right for playing the same guy he's
played in every movie his whole life. Oh, by the way,
Ray Fines doesn't win for Schindler's List, who was unbelievable.
Leo doesn't win for What's Eaton? Gilbert Grape who was
insanely good. No, no, no, we're going Tommy Lee Jones
because he's eating oranges and we're making odds. That's what
(20:33):
we're doing. It's a good movie. That was great movie.
But I mean, wow, really time.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
But I mean at that point he wasn't going down
the full kite. Teled de Niro run of singing his
lines like he had and every other.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Every other move like that was my dad always.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
He's like, he plays the same damn guy, Like there
was there was five or six guys go that's all
they do.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
It's the same guy. And Tom Cruise played the same
guy for the longest time. He still does. But I mean,
he makes he's not he's not someone you a. I'm
reinventing the wheel with acting. I'm gonna do some unbelievable
stunts and the action is going to be insane, and
he's gonna throw it back to the way you enjoyed
movies when you're younger. Yes, we're not giving him a
Best Actor nomine. I mean he'll get that Lifetime Best But.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
You get to get out of motorcycle with the American
frag and all that on.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
I got his stuff pulled up. He's literally in some
of the biggest movies ever. What tom Cruise, that's a
pride Tommy Lee Jones, Like Sure, Cruise is the biggest
star we've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
He's in over one hundred movies. He's like Space Cowboys
kicked ass Theace. Cowboys is good. Space Cowboys is good.
I just wanted Lincoln Lincoln, Sure, Washington, Jefferson, stop it,
Hamil Daniel Dave Lewis is coming back to acting. I know,
well when you don't, when you when you retire for
a little while, you get bored. I drink from your
straw exactly. I'm gonna go and start retiring fact to
(21:50):
spend more time with my family.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Like now my family now they're getting into the business.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
So he said, yeah, come out of return like he's
a coach. Yeah, no, spending time with my family. I'll
take that low level D one job. That's fine. You
really didn't have jobs coming your way, did you listen? Listen, listen,
I'm Mac Brown. I'll take that up. Okay, don't forget me,
ty Cobb. He did. He did. Play to Ty Cobb
was a really good movie. It was just a little
slow and just a little slow. Robert was slow. It was,
(22:17):
it was, it was good. It was. That's a movie
that I think came out, not that it was ahead
of its time, but it would be much more appreciated today.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Yeah, you know that type of biopic. Yeah, would have
gotten a lot more run.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
Wasn't that Tommy Lee Jones and there will be blood right, No, no, no,
no bowling ball scene, man.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
That's the other great actor. That's the other sports movie.
Yeah it was.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Yeah. Here's what happens in that movie is they're they're
bowling and Bill Murray shows up and he really you know,
earlier in the film he had found a way to
get rid of his.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
No, what he's doing is he's conflating it with Kingpin
and Woody Harrelson's character.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
That's what I'm doing. I'm saying, now we found a way.
I'm doing the whole joke. I'm doing the bit. Why
did you you'd have to jump into it to finish it.
That's what I was doing. I was doing the thing. Yeah,
but she just kept going. You didn't need it. Was
like the bullpen. You didn't need to come in. I
was fine, you did not need to come in. Now, Luke,
you came in and ruined it. Now you came it
took everything off the rails, like the bus the beginning
of the Fugitive. You did that. That was you. You
(23:15):
did it. Now we're back on the bus. Uh. Big
story in the NFL today Davante Adams. Okay, Davante Adams
now has requested a trade. The Raiders are open to
trading him, and if you trade a second round pick ish,
you could get Davonte Adams. It's a lot of details.
All of this we found out in the last twelve hours.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
I mean it went from speculating ahead of the season
how long he would be a Raider.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Yeah too.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Okay, now we've started things, what's gonna happen? And then
boy as soon as he got hurt and became quote
week to week, this all escalated very quickly.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Now let me let me say a big thing about
this before we get into exactly what's gonna happen, because
I know where he's gonna wind up this All Star.
And look, we knew that it was gonna wind up
happening at some point Adam's coming into the season. He
knew he wasn't happy. He hasn't been happy for a
couple of years. You knew he wanted out. It was
just gonna be a time. And and look we told
you to see, it's just gonna have to wait some
(24:13):
time until we get closer to the deadline. The Raiders
are losing and they and then they're gonna trade him. Right,
So this is not surprising, But how this has come
up this fast is very surprising because it's about a
guy you should know better. This comes up because there
was a social media post and Michael Fabiano sports illustrated.
I talked to him yesterday on the way into work,
Like lewis name dropping and so you can't get him
(24:34):
on the show. It's too late, It's too late. He
is too late. He wakes up early. He doesn't like promotion.
He's a couple of years younger than me, but he's
he's much older than I am. When it comes to be,
he says, he says, it's too late late. He didn't
want the promotion, so he found He's the one that
saw that a post that was put up there DeVonta
Adams who didn't play last week. Someone posted, hey, this
(24:57):
is probably Devonte adams last game as a Raider, and
the post was liked by Antonio Pierce's account. This story
gets out yesterday, and in the ensuing hours that post
was then disliked. But it doesn't matter. This is this
is gotten so raiderish so fast, I don't know. Sometimes
(25:20):
the speed still amaze me, how quickly the Raiders turn
into the Raiders. But this is, this is, this is.
It baffles me because Antonio Pierce has to bleep and
no better man. You're the head coach of the team, right.
I get that You're not too far removed from the field.
You still see a lot of these guys as your peers.
How many stats do you have to see? Antonio Piers
(25:41):
is younger than so and so who is playing for
so and so today? I get it. You're the bleeping
head coach. Man, you can't be liking media posts that
criticize your players. That's that's not what coaches do, and
it makes you not feel trustworthy by other players. Now,
maybe DeVonta Adams doesn't have a lot of fans in
the locker room. I'm sure the devibesure some people that
(26:01):
love them, some people don't like them. But the bottom
line as well, coach is getting involved in social media.
He's liking stuff. Let the players do that. Man, that's
a player's thing. You're a coach, be a grown up,
be an adult. You're the adult in the room. And
he chose this opportunity to basically show, yeah, I want
to be petty. I want to put this out there.
I want to make this thing go faster. When if
(26:22):
you want to trade the guy, trade him, people will
take him. You didn't need to do this, You didn't
need to embarrass him, embarrass yourself as a result. Is
this is something that nobody looks good and it's petty,
And if a player does it, I can shrug and
understand and say, this is what players do. They love
social media, they love doing stuff, they love doing things
like this, they love the attention. You're a coach. You
(26:42):
are a head coach in the NFL. You're not a
linebacker anymore. You're not playing with these guys. This is
not hey as a captain. I'm looking to kind of
get this guy in the right way. No, you're a
head coach. You gotta be. You have to be the
adult in the room. And Antonio Peers was not the
adult in this situation or whoever is running Antonio Piers's
Twitter account. But you know that didn't happen without Antonio
Pierce saying, because we would have known if something this
(27:04):
gets out there, oh, was Antonio Pierce really? Antonio Pierce
would have denied it. I don't know how this happened.
I don't know why this isn't went on the way
it did. We would have found that out. You have
to be the adult and instead he's raidering. So okay,
But that's that's the that's the that's the takeaway for
the first part is that I really I can't believe
this is a head coach doing this, not a player,
(27:25):
and he doesn't understand what he's.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Doing well, still controlled sometimes by emotion, the human element
that comes in in this case, but It's not a
flame you know, post or anything. It just you know,
it was from SI Now and it was something that
Fabiano doing a fantasy bit theorized with Adams being out quote,
(27:46):
don't be surprised if DeVante Adams has already played his
last nap with the Raiders, Michael Fabiano says, and that
it's got the you know, wide eyes emoji and he
likes that. Okay, that's kind of interest showing us the
cracks in your locker room. But Antonio Pierce, wasn't he
one of the guys that really campaigned for him last year?
Was that went on a bit of a run, But
(28:07):
it wasn't you know, DeVante Adams and the other veterans didn't.
Then they go to bat and then he's addressing the
injuries and all this stuff, and he refers to him
as seventeen. The other guys get their names as he's
talking about you know what, they have expectations going forward,
but yeah, well number seventeen. It's like, okay, so now
(28:29):
we've reduced that personal human element of this and we
reduced him to his jersey number. So that's problematic. But yeah,
I get the emotion, but you know, the old Herm Edwards.
Don't hit Sin, don't hit sin, don't hit like like
you still got to keep this together, not to mention
you don't want it to look like it's a dumpster fire.
So hey, come in and get us because we've exposed
(28:53):
our week under belly because DeVante Adams is unhappy with
what's going on in the locker room, whether it's the
play of inshow, whether he'd rather have Aidan o'conn because
remember he gave Aidan O'Connell a tepid endorsement when he
was doing all the rounds for that Receiver Netflix thing.
I think we were the only show that didn't talk
to him during that time he might be running. So
(29:13):
I'm glad we took that hard stance. But it's just
the idea that Eric, don't don't let him see you
sweat and if things are going asunder for you there,
you know you got the job based on a lot
of good will and a hard fought end of the season,
and to have that unravel in four weeks, four weeks
coming out of a win, coming out of a win.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
This is where they're at in Raiderville. The Raider's gonna Raider,
Raider's gonna raider and Antonio Prescoll Yeah, I'm gonna be that.
I'm gonna be the cool It's like he's trying to
be the cool dad. Hey would be the cool dad
where I let the underage kids drink at our house
because it's cool. Don't worry about it. No one's getting
in the car, no one's driving. Everything is good. You're
gonna part be the adult, be the parent. Be the
(30:00):
parent here, Yeah, be the adult. And and still it's it's
almost like because I still see him, he still talks
like a player. He still approaches certain things like a player,
like a captain does on a team. And there's a
big there's a reason why someone's the coach and someone's
the captain. Okay, it's not like, hey, it's just a
normal ascension for you. No, there's a you have to
(30:21):
do things that aren't popular that maybe you want to
bite your tongue about because you don't want you don't
want the outside perception to be what the hell is
going on here? You don't want the other players on
the team to go, wow, if something bad goes, his
coach gonna you know me on on Twitter?
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Right, he's he's the guy and he's going after him.
Raider's gonna what do I get exactly?
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Exit? Ou about a Fresco exit Swalling down the Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon. Raider's gone

Speaker 7 (30:57):
We're in the bunch of October now, and of course,
not only is football in full swing couple of weeks
away from basketball and hockey, but the Major League Baseball
postseason has begun. And as I was about to say,
the Padres leading three nothing, they have just made it
for nothing. He got Shioka just hitting a home run.
That's the second RBI of the day, Kyle Higashioka hitting
(31:19):
a solo home run to make it for nothing in
favor of San Diego. And they're backing an outstanding start
by Michael King. We had some good pitching in the
playoffs today, as Michael King tonight for San Diego, twelve
strikeouts in seven innings of work. He allowed five basits
as well. He has now come out for relief. But
(31:40):
with the outstanding pitching performance he's put on and the
Padres now leading it for nothing. San Diego does look
on their way to leading this best of three series
one nothing. Everything else in the playoffs has concluded. The
Mets with a big fifth inning five runs to blow
the game open against the Brewers as they leaded eight
to four. New York ahead in this to three series,
(32:01):
one game to none in the American League, a couple
of pitchers duels Royals and Orioles. Only one run needed
for Kansas City and Cole Reagan's.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Crown ball base hitler field Bobby.
Speaker 7 (32:15):
Witch Junior drives in mikel Garcia and how many times
should we save that?
Speaker 2 (32:20):
In the first half and the Royals lead won nothing
in the.
Speaker 7 (32:23):
Six Royals Radio Network with the call Bobby Wood Junior
the loan run of the game as Kansas City wins
it won nothing and Cole Reagan's eight strikeouts and six
innings Tigers meet the Astros three to one as Tariq
scooball six strikeouts in six innings, the Royals getting all
three of the runs on RBI singles in the second.
The Astros made it interesting in the ninth, got the
(32:45):
bases loaded, cut it to two, but ended up flying
out to end the game and then WNBA playoffs going on.
Right now, it's the Minnesota Links leading the Connecticut Sun
thirty six thirty at the break. Earlier today, it's Liberty
taking a two to nothing lead in their series against
the Aces eighty eight to eighty four. Back to you, guys,

do you like this song? This song's fine, same dude,
It's good. That's good. Tommy Lee Jones, Right, yeah, does
he have one arm? No, it's the guy he's chasing
has one arm. Oh Adams, No, it would make it
very hard to catch the football. He's got to Beckham
(34:05):
showed you can do it one hand once in a
while at practice. This we talk about that. He can
he play quarterback.
Speaker 5 (34:14):
Hands?
Speaker 1 (34:14):
Uh? Okay, okay, uh, let's get to something else. Yes,
please entirely for something you'll really like. It's over in
San Diego, the Padres Braves for nothing. Coming up in
a few minutes, we'll tell you why Yankee fans are
just hopping mad right now. But look, we now have
(34:36):
the entire day in Major League Baseball. Day one of
the playoffs is all in the books. Best story of
the day. This is where Isaac, when you think I'm
gonna okay, oh, you're just gonna say the Mets. No,
the Mets are a great story. Of course, the Metals
still man the Mets. Look at where we're at, MA
plenty of other stories out there. The best story is
a continuation of the best story of the season. Tigers
(34:59):
are the best story the day. They were the best
story in Major League Baseball this year. A team that
hasn't made the playoffs in a decade. Uh and and
and they can't hit it all, they can't run it all.
But it doesn't matter. You have a cy young winner,
likely a most likely going we have to triple crowded.
If he doesn't win it, then yeah, I mean that
it is a fraud perpetrated of course, just like so
(35:19):
many votes of mbps, Halls of Fame and everything else
that we've seen through the years. But yeah, they continue
on and they just find a way to win. Of course,
beating the Astros. That gets most baseball fans happy. You
know that's never gonna end, right, everybody say it's it's long, no, no, no,
so long as there's the last vestiges of that era.
(35:40):
Even after that, I think now, even after that.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
See then I'll just go back to the happy times
of those uniforms they had with Doan Ryan.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Wait a little too, it comes back to manage the
team when he's done, that's gonna go U. But the
Tigers are the best story in baseball. And you want
to go back to the trade deadline when they traded
players away, they didn't really trade for anybody, and they
had the best record in baseball since that day. They
just find a way to keep winning. And and we
have a lot of great stories going on. Clearly, look
(36:07):
the Padres winning for nothing over the Braves. You know,
the little brother syndrome may have in the West, they're
looking at that big showdown with the Dodgers. But the
Padres have spent a lot of money the last three years.
I spent tons of money. Okay, you have the Royals,
great story. When you have enough number one picks that
many years in a row, you're gonna win. But you
still have to get them right. We've got plenty of.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
Teams that have had the top picks that they've gone wrong.
Because that was one of my like I picked them too.
They didn't win the division, unfortunately, but they made the playoffs,
which was a pretty big long shot when we did
those mid season discussions. So I hate it that it
comes at the expense of the Orioles. Like that's the
series that I hate because you know, I do regular
(36:51):
stuff in Baltimore.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Love.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
I love the youngsters. They've got right, so it's the
battle of youth. But yeah, the Tigers with school ball,
the guy they did in trade.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
No, and and and when when you have the Royal again.
You get getting those high draft that's always gonna help you, right, always,
you always want to pick higher when you can. You
don't want to pick in the middle of around. If
you're gonna be really good, great, If you're gonna be bad,
be really bad. The Royals picking like that for so
long helps The Mets are a great story too. But
the Mets are doing this after having spent so much
bad money, and this is a year where they're just
(37:21):
gonna kind of hang out and we're gonna wait and
spend money, uh next year in the off season. So
we're gonna get a lot of guys on one year
deals because really mismanage the team. We're gonna bring in
Grimace and we're gonna get lucky. Yeah, but yeah, I
spent a lot of bad money that they're trying to
get out from under. The Tigers are it's the Tigers
are the team. It's almost like they're America's team this
(37:42):
year in the playoffs because you look at them, you
never expected anything out of them. I know, the last
ten years they were no good. Right. Miguel Cabrera plays
all the way to the end, finally retires and the
Tigers go back to the playoffs. But this is they
have such a lunch pail workmen's mentality. When teams can't
do stuff when they're limited, it's always fun to see
(38:02):
just how far can they push that envelope. And again,
the Tigers and the bottom third of the league in hitting,
I think they're their bottom three in the league and
stolen bases. They can't do anything offensively, but yet they
find a way to just put enough offense on the board.
And their pitching is terrific, their bullpen is terrific. They
you know, schoobl was great today. That should have let
them been a little bit longer. But now they have
(38:23):
the Astros one game away from going home. There is
no and there is no story more that is more
fun to see and more surprising than what the Tigers
have done so far.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
And it's unlike the lamentations that I'm sure we'll have
when we get to the twelve team playoff for college football,
and that we've experienced for every March that you and
I have been alive, where it's like, all right, we
like the upsets until we don't. Baseball, Hey man, it's
game to game if a guy's feeling it, and he's dealing.
Even the best hitting team can be taken down for
(38:55):
a game and all of a sudden you got your
backs against the wall. I mean, we've seen it, want
watched it year after year. High payrolls, high high energy
and efficient offenses that suddenly gets shut down pitching, goaltending.
Where we talk about the National Hockey League, by the way,
and the Blackhawks are back on the ice. They lost
seven to tonight in an exhibition.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
But you say it like like people care about that,
like you bet on did you bet on it? No? Okay,
it's more just a continuation of my sports misery. It's
a show. I felt like I needed to bring it in.
You're doing stream of consciousness on the radio. Just go
and the block car and no, no.
Speaker 3 (39:30):
But it's that look. Plenty of young draft picks. Has
that worked. No For the Tigers, they had Torkalsen, who
was supposed to be a stud. They had to send
them to the minor leagues for half the year because
he couldn't hit. Yet here they are bottom of the order,
comes up with a couple of big hits and they
take one away from the heated.
