FT Postgame Reax: EPIC Blue Jays Game 7 comeback win over Seattle vaults Toronto to the World Series

00:00:03
Speaker 1: What a freaking game.

00:00:04
Speaker 2: Seven.

00:00:05
Speaker 1: It's the live FOTS game, though it's presented by Fox One. You've got the OG career here, bron Aj Kratz. Let's do this. George Springer swings the Toronto Blue Jays back into the World Series for the first time since nineteen ninety three. Dude, that was good. That was That was the whole way come back win for the team that comes back and wins more games than any MLBAT.

00:00:28
Speaker 3: It's unbelievable, is what it is. It was a great game. There are so many things to talk about. I mean, where's Munos? Where's Brash in that situation? Lead off walk with Brian wu Oh, I mean did you leave? I was sitting there going you got to get b R out of the game. You got to get b R out of the game. He got him out in just in time. And Louis Varland, who's arm literally is about to probably fall off at this point. What do you think said they've had ten playoff games, he's thrown in nine of them. From eleven they son and nine. I mean that's ridiculous. I mean, like I joked around earlier on FT, I think he probably threw a simulated game on the off day, just to make sure he felt normal. I mean, he gets a few days off now. But congratulations to the Blue Jays. I mean congrat wow. I mean the Mariners were so close to their first one ever, so close. I had my Maya copa. I hope you had your Maya copa ready, because I have my Maya copa ready for the Mariners because we mocked them and we said it and we said it, and I was like, if they make the World Series, you know what, they did it right? But they did. They only won the playoff of their playoff. They were six and six.

00:01:40
Speaker 1: It's true. The Toronto Blue Jays get to experience World Series baseball for the first time in a long damn time. Crats, you played for this team. How cool is this?

00:01:51
Speaker 2: I was drafted by this team. It's so cool. My first roommate ever, John Schneider, my first trainer ever, Vood Chung. My second favorite trainer ever, Jose Ministraul. Like Pete Walker's been there. Pete Walker was a player in Big League camp when I was there, and now he is a the pitching coach that I think the longest tenured pitching coach in the Big leagues. He's getting there. De Marlo Hale, He's going to the World Series, like you're I'm just excited for so many of the guys that are on that team, Like one of one of my teams is still left in the postseason.

00:02:28
Speaker 1: Give me the goods on the game. We gotta start with Springer, like, tell me what's going on here. Bizardo comes in the game first, the positive side of things right, and then we can smash Dan Wilson's ridiculously bad decision. But for George Springer gets a somewhat middle middle fastball and he did what he was supposed to.

00:02:46
Speaker 3: Funny though, the last since he got hitting the knee. These last two games, he looked late. He was like late late, late, late, and under late and under. That was the first one he was on time for. He didn't miss it. It was it was ridiculous, were absolutely ridiculous.

00:03:01
Speaker 2: The stat at the end is ridiculous to me. The stat at the end, he's tied third all time for his ninth tying or go ahead home run in the postseason, ninth ninth times. That is a crazy number. So it's almost like we said it on FT like a guy like George Springer. That's why they brought him in for playoff you know, his playoff clutchness, even though he wasn't having good years other years. And now they make it to the playoffs partially on his back because he had an incredible regular season. You're like, you knew he was going to do it. But then you're like, no, way, like cal Raley, it's the year of cal It's a year of cal Rawley, Like he's already put their team ahead. Of course cal Rally would, and then George just comes out of nowhere and.

00:03:51
Speaker 1: Unbelievable comes out of nowhere. This season. George, Yeah, looked like.

00:03:56
Speaker 3: He had an unbelievable year the Twilight.

00:04:00
Speaker 1: He came back his top five hitter in the American League for sure. I mean he's going to be I think top five l MBP in the American League. Like he was that good.

00:04:11
Speaker 3: Good thing. They didn't give the Yankees the division.

00:04:15
Speaker 1: For real.

00:04:16
Speaker 3: They finished strong, I mean Baseball, Major League Baseball.

00:04:19
Speaker 1: Oh, but also winning the division really did help, by.

00:04:27
Speaker 3: Word series for Louis Ireland.

00:04:31
Speaker 2: That's that's the only person that needed to win the division. Louis Arland's like, had we played three more games, I'd be cooked. I'd be washed.

00:04:39
Speaker 1: Bro, what they're about to play four to seven more?

00:04:45
Speaker 2: Say, if he had to play in the wild card, that would have been three more games that he would have had to play in.

00:04:51
Speaker 1: Exactly. They might construct their decision making differently next rounds because there are some things that just don't seem to be working. Well, can I get a little more Chris.

00:05:02
Speaker 3: Bassett in that we get somewhere, Sir Anthony, He's been pretty good too.

00:05:06
Speaker 1: Let's switch it up.

00:05:07
Speaker 3: Well, here's the thing against the Dodgers. You're gonna have to use flu Hardy, You're gonna have to use little because show hey freddye Max, those lefties. You're gonna have to use some of your lefties a little bit more wower. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it doesn't get any easier, but congratulations as the Blue Jays paper Tigers no more.

00:05:30
Speaker 1: Okay. So Dan Wilson in a pressure situation in the bottom of the seventh th Inny and most people are going, okay, Barger walk ikf single up the middle, huge bottom of the order, getting it done. Him and his sack butt pitching change Bizardo, where's Minos.

00:05:51
Speaker 2: Where's brash?

00:05:53
Speaker 3: Brash pitched last night. He was tired.

00:05:55
Speaker 1: He's tired.

00:05:56
Speaker 3: And Game seven, I don't know.

00:05:58
Speaker 1: I know he went thirty some odd pitches. But okay, then use Minos, yes, Chandler Rome.

00:06:03
Speaker 3: Here here's the thing where I think Dan Wilson said about Munno's he didn't think he could get him made out, so he was just hoping Bizardo could get through that, get him two outs. And then he'd used Munos to.

00:06:12
Speaker 1: The last six, so he felt like Bizardo was really good for him. Yeah, he's his second best high leverage opption and.

00:06:20
Speaker 3: That he showed you what he thought. Why who he brought in? Okay, actions right, card speak louder in words, I'll tell you exactly how they feel, especially in this game baseball. Kick your ass and I'll take exactly how you feel.

00:06:33
Speaker 2: Picture what picture always asks? Hey, was that a good pitch? The hitter will tell you if it was a good picture not he hit it into the sixth row. No, it wasn't a good pitch. I don't care where you threw it. The hitter will tell you the like the manager will tell you who he thinks is the best, better than Brash. I know Brash struggled with command Bizarta was good, but I feel like he got like it's the old Uh this is you know, Buck Showwalter.

00:07:03
Speaker 3: How do you lose?

00:07:03
Speaker 2: How do you lose the game to the Blue Jays with Zach Britton in the bullpen? How do you lose this game without Munnos getting the six outs? Even if you don't think he can get you eight, you figure it out. You get like that out was George Springer was the out. Nathan Lucas the next batter was gonna be the out if you get the vlad was gonna be the out that he needed to get. Cause you don't even they didn't even get to the ninth inning, so they really only needed six more outs, Like they didn't need a ninth inning because they weren't winning anymore.

00:07:36
Speaker 1: Correct, Yeah, you're so worried about Oh, I don't wanna. I don't know what I'm gonna do later on in the game doesn't matter. This is that exact moment where you look and go, Okay, one of the best hitters in the sport this year, George Springer is stepping up with two in scoring position. This is the game right here, and I mean I'm gonna be hard on Dan Wilson for inexperience in the postseason in this spot, twenty five plus managers in our sport right now bringing their closer in that spot. You have an ace reliever, Andres Munos is money hasn't pitched, and you used the past.

00:08:07
Speaker 3: We used one of your starters in the ninth if you have to. That's what you've seen, got you. You saw with the Dodgers last year, who'd they used to close out the World Series? Walker Bueller right, because they used trying in in the seventh.

00:08:18
Speaker 1: And the eighth. So, Luis Castillo, I mean anybody.

00:08:24
Speaker 3: Crash could have been anybody could have been spired, depending on where they were in the lineup. Yeah, I mean it could have been anybody. I mean the probably So if they let's say, let's say Munos comes in and gets Springer and Lucas and then he gets then it will be three four five, So they're at the bottom of their order, six, seven, eight.

00:08:45
Speaker 1: This is the game, the game period. You fucked up?

00:08:49
Speaker 3: Okay, come on, I mean, I'm.

00:08:51
Speaker 1: Telling you most managers, it's hard to find many managers that wouldn't do that, that wouldn't go with their ace reliever Andres Munos is what a top five to ten closer.

00:09:03
Speaker 3: He was top by three closer. His slider was the one of the if not the best pitching baby. I think School's change up second best. Muno's change up was two best pitch in all of baseball for run factor, wactor jack or whatever the hell they do with.

00:09:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you're in trouble in the fifth, okay, but you're in trouble in the bottom of the seventh Inny with an out.

00:09:26
Speaker 2: I know, we we so many people, so many I don't want this conversation to get lumped in with so many people like second guessing, like shouldn't have wanted there, shouldn't have taken the starter out? All this stuff. To me, this is a this is a slam dunk situation. This is the game. I used to have a manager that used to put key at bat of the game and it just k a B G keyep b out of the game. You always put it right next to it, and then we talk about it the next day, so you see it in, you see it in the moment, and then you start learning, Okay, well, these are the situations where you have to bring him in. How he doesn't bring him in I have no idea. This is not us second guessing. To me, I think he messed up.

00:10:16
Speaker 3: I mean we can second guess a lot. Because here's my next question. Should he have left George Kirby out there for another inning? Because then it backs WU up another inning, and it backs all these other guys up in another inning. He was rolling like they couldn't touch George Kirby. But because this is kind of what we talk again, this is what we talked about, and they mentioned it on the broadcast, like, you have so many options as a manager in these games because you have all these starters that are not down there, and you have all these different things you can play around with. Did he just say, well, he gave us four, let's just let's rush to let's hurry up and get Wu in the game, because he can give us two maybe three. Right, But the leadoff walk was the key to that whole inning. He walked, you can't have a leadoff walk right there. You cannot walk who do you walk? Menez? No, who do you walk? Oh Barger to start the inning right, and then Kinner fileff I got the hit, and then Jimenez bunded, Yes, yes, but you can't have a lead off walk. But again, should you have left Kirby in the game for one more inning and then all of a sudden that's five and then you have Wu six to seven and then Monos eight nine, and.

00:11:21
Speaker 1: You were up three to one at that point. It went from one run to two runs with the advantage.

00:11:26
Speaker 3: The dumper homer, Uh huh. I don't know, it's it's that.

00:11:31
Speaker 1: One though, Like these things are more debatable, there was one moment here that everyone is going to talk about like Seattle history here right, we're gonna go. George Springer had his at the Joe Carter moment in Toronto.

00:11:44
Speaker 3: And he had Jose.

00:11:48
Speaker 1: Okay okay, and Dan Wilson had the.

00:11:52
Speaker 3: Buck Showalter against the Blue Jays in Toronto when he didn't bring Zach Brittany brought a new ball.

00:11:57
Speaker 1: Though, I mean, you can't do it. You can't do it.

00:12:03
Speaker 2: There's no more iconic home run noise than the Toronto Blue Jays hockey horn foghorn. It's the best.

00:12:14
Speaker 1: It's the best unless you're a Mariners fan and your heartbroken right now. And of course we'll do our post mortem and all that on this team this week. If you're a baseball fan, that's a chills moment.

00:12:26
Speaker 3: You know, it was awesome.

00:12:28
Speaker 1: That's not like and there's no evil empire up there that had been to the World Series.

00:12:35
Speaker 3: How many years is that ninety three to now thirty two years?

00:12:38
Speaker 1: Thirty two years, So you're watching that, you're like, it's pretty cool.

00:12:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was, It was, It was. It was. Listen, George Springer doesn't even remember running around the basis. He just knows he swung and hit the ball and whatever. I mean, what what he did jumping around and acting the full He don't even remember, no know what. He'll go back and watch him be like, I don't even remember that.

00:12:58
Speaker 2: It looked like he lost his breath because he was yelling. It looked like when he got in there, he would like put his hands like on the pat wrack and was like he had like a Brett Phillips moment where Brett Brett Phillips was like running around and he's like, oh boy, got kind of dizzy there. That's what look, That's what George looked like. He was just besides, he couldn't you probably couldn't hear yourself think in that stadium, the roof was closed, but they say forty four thousand, forty eight thousand something like that.

00:13:27
Speaker 1: He goes, yeah, forty five ish, yep, chill.

00:13:33
Speaker 3: But see that that that home run was all set up by what I talked about the last two games. He's been missing fastball after fastball, and as the hole at bat, every bat in this game was he just got nothing but heater sown at him. And that was just a heater right out of the ding day. I mean, he wasn't late. That was the first one. He wasn't late on all night and he didn't miss it it. I mean, it's a gossman got out of that big jam.

00:13:58
Speaker 1: Ninety seven heaterd nowadays.

00:14:02
Speaker 3: But that's kind of what I'm saying. But it had all been set up because if you watch Kirby attack and he walked him as first a beat all heaters, the next about all heaters, lou all heaters right, just made adjustment. Good for him.

00:14:18
Speaker 1: All Right, we got more to go. So first off, if you're watching us right now live or later on, subscribe to vowel Territory, the YouTube channel. He might be like, I already do this, but you'd be surprised. We actually see the stats There are many people that get this little dang this little reminder, and they say, yeah, I'll throw them some love with a little click, So we appreciate you. Okay, I want to focus on John Schneider's bullpen decisions because he had to get crafty late. Right, Gosman gets in here, Bassett gets in here. Hoffman pitches the ninth and says, don't you dare say that I give up home runs. I close out this game for you. And he did it nicely. He did a really nice job and said post game, yeah, my goal is to not get to cal Roll in the lineup. Good for you, great answer, But what do you think of the way that he navigated through the game, Because this wasn't prime Shane Bieber. This wasn't Biber.

00:15:15
Speaker 3: Bieber Beaver slider wasn't sliding.

00:15:17
Speaker 1: No, it wasn't as bad as the Yanks game appearance.

00:15:20
Speaker 3: No, but it wasn't. But it wasn't a mirror sharp And that's one thing you know, when you have Tommy John We've talked about this before, you have a good start and then you kind of have a bad start because you're still kind of getting back to the field. Remember this was about his tenth start in like almost two years. So, I mean, you know, when did you get Shane Bieber on the on the on the line. I don't have to call him after tomorrow, see if we can get out of Money's great, he talk soccer, he loves soccer. But after that, after that, but his slider wasn't as sharp as it was. I mean, the first tight, his slider was getting like three corps away there and just going show. This one was a little more roly poly. This time it just wasn't the same and and and honestly, I didn't think he was gonna get When we talked to Ben Nicholson Smith today or on FT, he said, oh yeah, he's probably gonna give him five. But his stuff was going, I'm like, he's he bet they should have got him out of for three and gone to somebody. Now he got three and two thirds, and then Louis Varlin came in and got the out and then gave up the homer the bomb to cal Rawley. But then I thought he I thought, I thought Schnyder did a good job with this. He got Domingas to get him an inning, Gosman got him an inning basket, got him an inning, and then once they had the lead, Hoffman came in and was pretty easy in the night three punchies.

00:16:32
Speaker 2: So I guess Schnyder feels like he's got three guys because Gosman and Bassett, Like if he thinks he has Varlin, Dominguez and Hoffman, he feels like he has three guys. If that's who he went to tonight, I got it the right hand heavy, so you're not gonna necessarily see as much flu Hardy and Lower and and Little. But to me, that's his circle of trust. And he was like, Bassett, I need you. But is Bassett gonna give him a start in the world series.

00:17:09
Speaker 1: Or do more of this Pratt? Maybe Max is still the fourth charter and Bassett appears more, maybe the circle of trust opens up a little bit more.

00:17:18
Speaker 3: Now it's gonna be different because you got those lefties, so you're gonna need to use your lefties. They didn't use their lefties.

00:17:22
Speaker 1: At all in this series.

00:17:24
Speaker 3: They didn't lose flu Hardy, they didn't lose Little because guess what you got show, Hey, Freddy Max coming into town on Friday. Get your lefties ready, kids.

00:17:34
Speaker 1: I know someone that can get lefties and righty as we just talked about him, and obviously he's gonna start in games. But do you think there's any chance that Schneider goes who did this like Alex Core remember when the Red Sox won, He would bring like Porcello and those kind of guys in on their throat days like Gosman did that for this one. Could you do that in the World Series? Why not?

00:17:53
Speaker 3: You could? But I don't think I think they have enough depth in their starting don't. I don't think they'll do that. But how about speaking of Goslin, how about two outs no on? They walked the big Dumper intentionally two outs.

00:18:03
Speaker 1: Nobody on, and then he walked Nayler after that.

00:18:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then he gots what I'm saying, he got in trouble. He got Polanco to get out of it. But all of a sudden, you walk a guy with two outs and nobody on with was this Barry Bonds.

00:18:15
Speaker 1: Can't hurt?

00:18:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I mean against Osman, he's Berry Bonds, true.

00:18:21
Speaker 1: Right, he did have good numbers against him.

00:18:23
Speaker 3: How about you just stick them? That used to be the old thing, remember that, And we don't walk them, just stick them. First pitch stick him.

00:18:31
Speaker 2: He's a first roy oswell, he used to say. He used to say, well, you know, man, he goes, I knew that guy owned me, he said. So I just want to make sure everybody knows I'm not throwing at people. But I ain't gonna waste four pitches on nobody that I can't get out. So I just put one right there in his hip. Nobody. Nobody gets hurt by wanting their hip.

00:18:51
Speaker 3: You see.

00:18:52
Speaker 2: I kind of feel bad, but I'm on to the next hitter already agreed.

00:18:57
Speaker 1: I do want to take a couple of key parts out of this one and then spend it forward for the last section here, and then of course we'll have the full week really to prepare for the World Series. So quickie, sixty second break and I'll look for some questions in here too.

00:21:11
Speaker 1: So I just want to make sure I say what the past comment was there because some people will listen to this podcast form after. But you know, a Dodger fan got in the chat and was like, they better not call fat Joe. Fat Joe got schooled by better hope the blue from Fat Joe to burst into the stadium.

00:21:29
Speaker 2: What if Drake fades himself and wears a Dodgers jersey as he's performing in Toronto, because any jersey that Drake wears, that team's losing. Whoever he adopts done.

00:21:50
Speaker 3: By the way, you know what's next year? Next spring World Baseball, class base We got it early. We got usavers Canada. Damn it, that's true.

00:22:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Japan's taken over the series either way.

00:22:07
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, So now we have Japan and USA versus Canada.

00:22:10
Speaker 2: Right, it's really just Japan versus Canada, right, Team.

00:22:16
Speaker 3: Japan, although Freddy's on Freddy's on team Canada. So what is it is Freddie's secretly rooting for the Jays to win? Is he gonna?

00:22:23
Speaker 1: Naylor is Canadian?

00:22:25
Speaker 3: And he just played I was going to Cancun right now. By the way, we didn't get into the nailor play. By the way, holy shit.

00:22:36
Speaker 2: That so much after that.

00:22:39
Speaker 3: I mean, I've done some crazy ship on the field, but I've never jumped and tried to get smoked by the ball before. And he could say he wasn't trying to, but you were trying to. Bro It was awesome. I mean it was kind of awesome in a in an awesome not awesome way crazy.

00:22:57
Speaker 1: I will I will die tonight. I will die if that wins. It's the damn game. I'll tend to think of it took a while.

00:23:04
Speaker 3: For them to be Josh Shudder came out and is like, hey, what a second year, Like we didn't forgot about that because all the other crap happened. In the end. He literally just jumped and turned his back AND's like, are you not entertained rock right in the back.

00:23:17
Speaker 1: Of the head down He goes, you brought it like a whole new rule into the game, where like, okay, throws coming over.

00:23:25
Speaker 3: Remember when Judge got accused of sliding and it hit his hand, and like they're like, he did that on purpose. This one, actually Josh Taylor did do on purpose.

00:23:33
Speaker 1: It's so true. People were like happy gilmart just taking it to whatever days.

00:23:40
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, that was good.

00:23:42
Speaker 2: Logan Gilbert came on the show and said he'll do He'll do anything to win Exhibit A.

00:23:52
Speaker 3: That was about that was that was the today's version of hal McCrae, just going in and tackling dudes in the world series like that was the new version of that, the new school version of hal mccraye. Is dumping dudes into left field.

00:24:06
Speaker 1: Dude Naylor is hit like that. That dude's a gamer. Oh yeah, had a great postseason. He's hitting his free agent year. Remember we smashed the Guardians for trading him away and they got a good piece back in Chaconi. But still they missed him a lot. Man. He's a piece. He is a clutch player. He's a winning player. Someone's gonna be happy to sign him this off season.

00:24:27
Speaker 3: A nailor, man. He gets big hits for you, he does, and he loves those moments.

00:24:30
Speaker 1: It's tough to pitch too.

00:24:32
Speaker 3: He loves those moments, man.

00:24:33
Speaker 1: Okay, So the story that's going to dominate the next few days in my mind is Boba Sheet is making progress. This like snuck through. We spoke to Ben Nicholson Smith. He was the first one that put this out there on Twitter a few hours after he was on our show Sportsnight Reporter Covers the Blue Jays. He said, bo is making significant progress at the plate, more running in the outfield. The true test that we've talked about the whole time is running the bases.

00:25:00
Speaker 3: I don't care. I stick with what I got right. I know he's a great player, but what you're gonna d h him for Springer. I mean, you're gonna put him at shortstop and he can't move with his knee and ahead of a mine who's been unbelievable at shortstop. You're gonna take Ernie Clement out of the lineup right now? Who's on fire? Who you take him out?

00:25:23
Speaker 1: Get him at second for?

00:25:26
Speaker 3: You ain't doing that. I don't know. I mean, listen, as much as I think Bo is an awesome player, right now, I just think you just say, look, man, I'm sorry. We were rolling with what we got.

00:25:37
Speaker 1: Sure, he's really good.

00:25:39
Speaker 3: I just said he's really good. I think he's an awesome player.

00:25:42
Speaker 1: He can well well Looper, Fido replace Santander?

00:25:45
Speaker 3: Okay, does he you need him?

00:25:47
Speaker 1: You need the outfielder. You can't have him as a bench bat who Bo?

00:25:55
Speaker 3: I guess you can. But if he hasn't played in a month, you ain't gonna You're just gonna run him up there with the on the line in the ninth inning. He ain't had a bat in a.

00:26:02
Speaker 1: Month, and they don't really pinch it much.

00:26:04
Speaker 3: No, I don't know, Kratzy.

00:26:08
Speaker 2: I mean, if he's healthy, I'm sorry, I gotta find a way to get him in the lineup where Yeah, I mean, you got it. You gotta figure it out. Healthy is relative, Bobashett healthy, he's not. He's probably not playing better defense than Andre Semenez. Andre Semenez came up a shortstop and he's been bawling out there. He's obviously a Platinum Glove second baseman. But to me, that's a that is a better lineup. That's a better lineup. I'm not I'm not saying I have the answer where he goes. You can't put you can't put George out in the outfield. But to me, Bo is definitely gonna be on the roster. I don't think AJ is saying he's not on the roster where he's that in the lineup? Man, I got, I got. I gotta know if he's running, if he's run the bases at full speed, he's out there. He might start at second I might even make a poor choice and start him at start him at shortstop. I'll be honest. You gotta score runs. The Dodgers are not going to They're not going to give you free runs. So you got to take every one of them that you can get. There's a fight.

00:27:21
Speaker 3: I don't know. It's it's a great, it's a great, it's a great question, it's a great.

00:27:27
Speaker 1: I'm on the craft side here. He's got to be on the roster. He's gotta be on it.

00:27:31
Speaker 3: Why does he gotta be on the roster?

00:27:33
Speaker 2: Top three hit he's better than the twenty guy and.

00:27:36
Speaker 1: He's a hig tool guy like I think he can.

00:27:40
Speaker 3: Send him to and this week, this week and get him some bats.

00:27:46
Speaker 1: Were sim game them up here at workouts?

00:27:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, they do that.

00:27:51
Speaker 1: I mean it's a layoff now, So what's today Monday? Same game anyway, all of them right, they're.

00:27:59
Speaker 2: Gonna be.

00:28:01
Speaker 3: You'll definitely do something on like a Wednesday. Yeah, tomorrow's off. Tomorrow will be off. Wednesday will be some sort of a something more, and then Thursday will be just DP and then Friday is a go time, no travel.

00:28:17
Speaker 1: No.

00:28:17
Speaker 3: I wonder, I wonder if the Fox screw, like if little Ken just stays in Toronto for.

00:28:21
Speaker 1: Ken Kenn is staying in Toronto because he's on with us tomorrow. It's confirmed.

00:28:25
Speaker 2: And they'll bring the Stay Hot They'll bring the Stay Hot kids up too. All the guys that have been down in Dunedin at Stay Hot camp. They'll probably come up to you know, pitchers would come up and guys would take at bats, guys that haven't gotten any abs, Like, let's see who else low berfeedo. He was probably at stay hot camp and that's when he got he replaced Santandre uh Tyler. Heineman hasn't gotten any at bats. I'm sure bo would hop in there if he hasn't been hopping in there. But also they have the traject, so I assume that trajected.

00:29:02
Speaker 3: They gotta damn disco ball. They gotta damn disco ball and a light show and a fog machine going right now in their locker room. They got to traject exactly.

00:29:11
Speaker 1: The Blue Jays as an org, they take care of things there. They have to, they do. But you're recruiting players.

00:29:18
Speaker 3: I mean, it's gonna be fascinating that this is gonna be a fact. I know, we have days to dig in. This fascinating. Just they just keep showing you savage, you savage against the Dodgers. They've never seen them.

00:29:29
Speaker 1: It's cool.

00:29:30
Speaker 3: I mean, it's gonna be it's gonna be a it's gonna be fast. I mean, it's gonna be fascinating my world series pick is out now, damn it. I had Dodgers Mariners for the start, but that's okay. I mean, I know, but.

00:29:43
Speaker 2: As soon as spring, I mean not spring. As soon as KP came on the show and said the Blue Jays are bringing this back. The Blue Jays are bringing this back when they were down two to oh, I went on, I'm like, if KP says it with his chest like that, I'm taking a little Blue Jays to win the American League chainampionship. So KP dinner's on me. This time.

00:30:04
Speaker 1: KP was right. He was getting smashed, so he was really good. He was like, this series is going to get crazy, unpredictable. And it was then Friday he comes on and he was like, blue Jays are winning to rap and then obviously everyone's just like cool because you're a Toronto guy and they did win. Let's finish with this, not that one. I'm going to do another, but I'll read this. Blue Jays are the fourth team to win a best of seven series despite losing the first two games at home, joining then six eighty six Mets and eighty five Royals all in the World Series. You missed that Friday show that we had where I brought that start up, and then we spent like half the show trying to make sure that it was real. Fact checkers happened since ninety six.

00:30:44
Speaker 3: That's why the eighty six Red Sox still are one of the most unbelievable losses of all time. They won the first two at Shay, and then they obviously had the Bill Buckner Oil Camboid all that Roger Clements still starting in game seven and ready to go. They had a lead and blew that one too. People forget about that Bob Stanley, the Steamer, great coach by the way, great guy too, really great guy. Felt bad for him. But anyways, last thing eighty five Royals Don Deckinger missed a call first, remember that one ninety six ninety six Yankees lost the first two to the Braves, and then went down there and just Jim Layritz, the Jim Layot's homer, Mark Wohlers, I believe.

00:31:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, started up the dynasty the Braves.

00:31:30
Speaker 2: The Braves lost a lot.

00:31:33
Speaker 1: Wait, so last thing on the Managers, last thing on the Blue Jays, last thing on the Manners. First, Dan Wilson spoke already. He said he went to Bizardo for Springer because Bizarta has been handling those pivot type moments for them all season.

00:31:47
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, he wasn't even it was even. I mean, I don't I don't know his I mean, I know he pitched a lot, but he on the team the whole year. He wasn't pitching the seventh and me thinning at the beginning of the year.

00:32:01
Speaker 1: No, No, this was his breakout this year.

00:32:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I had to have an answer.

00:32:07
Speaker 2: I've never heard I've never heard of pivot moments. I've never heard that term used. That's the word to use, pivot.

00:32:16
Speaker 1: Uh, that's the tweet I got here from Chelsea Jaan's Washington Post.

00:32:21
Speaker 3: Anyways, Ross, Atkins and Shapiro, congratulations too. We've we we gave him a lot of shit. But congratulations of them.

00:32:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, because some years they worship but now they're not.

00:32:31

00:32:39
Speaker 2: Congratulations graduation outmanaged congratulations Snides, Yes, congratulations John Snyder, Ye, John Schneider, congrats.

00:32:49
Speaker 1: I was trying to see real quick. If the Pizardo has been doing this the entire.

00:32:52
Speaker 3: Year and I never heard of a pivot moment.

00:32:56
Speaker 1: It's like your fireman man is a fire man in this spot. I have a hard time with this. But Soda Mariners fans, we're gonna do a therapy session for you. I know you want to hear it.

I wish the World Series started way sooner. But I get it.

00:33:22
Speaker 3: Why, I guess because it would have been Game seven for the NL tomorrow and that would have given them. Yes, yes, so Faturday Thursday, that would have given them two days for travel.

00:33:31
