00:00:26
Speaker 2: Everybody a little sleepy after Game three last night. Unbelievable, instant classic, dude, it was an epic game for the age's history was made and we reaped all the benefits.

00:00:41

But my goodness, we're coming off one of the best baseball games you will ever see in your life, and we'd be rocking out so great, man, I'm still processing and we had the entire day to do, so we talked about it on our Patreon.

00:01:14
Speaker 1: We're talking about it to.

00:01:15
Speaker 2: Everyone, and we see The first thing I thought of when I woke up this morning was the game, Like, oh my god, I feel so privileged to have witnessed it. I know that sounds corny, but I mean that as a baseball fan. Keep in mind if you're new to the show. I dislike both teams, but I got to tip my hat here to great baseball. And that's what I feel like we saw yesterday because everything counted, and the plays that looked like they were easy plays, they were not. Can you imagine the composure needed to perform at that level in those moments trying in that night sky. You know, the plays that were made were remarkable. Everything counted, everything was high highlighted, And just props to everybody involved in that game, and everyone has stayed up late and everyone that was there. My goodness, it was epic, and we got to talk about it eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox Your Takeaways, And of course there was a football game. We all had intentions on checking it out. I didn't know who won until like this morning, but here I did not know until afterward when I, you know, watched the highlights. It was one of those games last night, Rich where although it was late on the West coast, I know it's three am, almost three am. You must be lonely on the East coast. Have eternal Klef is gonna rock you. It's three heah him, almost three a m. You know, we're approaching midnight on the West Coast and I'm sitting there hoping that it continues. That's how exciting it was for me. If you're a Dodgers fan or a Blue Jays fan, I get it, you just want somebody to win your stomachs and knots. But me just as a baseball fan, and we said it the other day, we're on the precipice of a sports renaissance in baseball being part of that. We're seeing great teams, great games, a great World Series. You know, I just wanted it to continue. I'm like, let's go for twenty moments of that game. And I'm not even talking about the main ones we'll talk about. I'm talking about ti Oscar to Edmund to Will Smith, two perfect throws on a relay to get a Blue Jay trying to see it from third, and it took a perfect relay. I don't fall the Blue Jays at all for taking chances even though he was clearly out. It took perfect throws, a perfect relay to make those plays. And I think if you're gonna beat the Dodgers, you gotta take risks. You gotta take those chances. You and I were saying how some plays that might seem obvious on a major league level, the tents, Oh my god, do or die? Feeling of last night, for instance, Varshaw and center field to tracking down a ball that it's not routine at the fence all Matt.

00:04:03
Speaker 1: Like that made it look rute.

00:04:06
Speaker 2: How many times, Danny g Is you were texting us like what marine layer of air is out there?

00:04:11
Speaker 1: Yeah?

00:04:12
Speaker 3: Those balls were hit like moonshots and then just died right before the fence.

00:04:16
Speaker 2: I mean, the will Smith one was just one of them, but there was there was a few that you're like, oh my god, oh no, the pay Oscar one.

00:04:22
Speaker 4: And because of that, the radio call Steven Nelson on AM five seventy here in Los Angeles, I think was a little gunshot because of all the warnings.

00:04:33
Speaker 2: I think Joe Davis was too. He was like, do you fly ball to center field before it strikes? Smith died like yeah, it was like I think they were all gunshot. You're right because I follow him on social media. He's great the radio announcer. Yeah, fantastic watching him make the calls. But yeah, there was a little gunshy vibe.

00:04:52
Speaker 1: Like is it going?

00:04:53
Speaker 2: And anytime something big happens, whether it be in basketball, football, or baseball, we always come back excited, and we asked ourselves, are we prisoners of the moment? I don't think we are. I think that it's one of the top three games of our lifetime. I can't even think of two better. I'm just trying to be fair here. I think this is a game we're gonna tell our grandkids about. We're gonna be old guys feeding the ducks, and I think, are those picking grandkids are gonna be like.

00:05:20
Speaker 1: Grandpa, were you alive when it went eighteen innings? In the world? Theory that the daughters meet.

00:05:25
Speaker 2: And you're like, I'll never forget even damn ship two home runs alndro by the way, there's so many storylines. Clearly the unsung heroes like Climb coming through a big moments clearly Freddie Freeman is a World Series hero, but dude, cursh curse. But can I say this on a Taco Tuesday. I think it's important for the Brown guys. As a half breed vato loco, I feel it's in my in my duty to say that a La hontro, you had to harp on the duty and ruin my moment duty. I'm trying to, man, I'm trying to make a really good point here, you know, for the Brown guys, the unsung heroes. Alejandro Kirk the first Mexican to ever hit a World Series home run. But do you see this guy battling? Dude, he battles, and I feel like he sets the tone for these Blue Jays that scratch when he's in the batter's box. He's fouling off pitches, he's working your bullpen. And you know, he obviously wasn't in the later innings of the game, which cost him maybe, but this dude's gonna step up big again, and I feel like his his his approach is contagious with that Blue Jays lineup.

00:06:40
Speaker 1: So props to him.

00:06:41
Speaker 2: Props to them too, man, because I don't feel like they lost the game in any way, somebody had to win, and Freddie Freeman hit a bomb, dude.

00:06:48
Speaker 1: So that's another thing that nobody's really talking about.

00:06:51
Speaker 5: Though.

00:06:51
Speaker 3: Will Smith never came out, so he was back there, you know, catching that entire almost seven hours.

00:06:58
Speaker 1: He must be in an ice bath still, right now.

00:07:01
Speaker 2: That's such a great point, you know, honestly, I feel like you're the first.

00:07:04
Speaker 1: You're the first guy I heard even mention it. Danny.

00:07:06
Speaker 2: That's the truth. I didn't even think about that. Took it totally for granted. The Blue Jays backup catcher had four at bets, they played two games.

00:07:13
Speaker 1: He played two games.

00:07:14
Speaker 2: Back to back behind the dish in a terribly stressful situation. All right, So clearly we're excited. And keep in mind, rich and I are not Dodgers fans. I'm a Yankees fan. Rich I don't know. I feel like he's on the fence. We'll explain, Danny g Dodgers fan. Iowa, Sam, you mean to tell me that you're a Dodgers fan and you didn't find that to be an amazing game last night?

00:07:38
Speaker 6: Who said that? I don't know who said Richie said that. I didn't never, I never said that, like a frown when I want. I was just saying that, like, you can have a long you could have sliced out for four or five innings. In the back half of that you couldn't have could, Like that's why we have the games at nine innings and not twelve innings. It's not a game of cricket. But I love the game. Like I was just like, okay, let's just end this. Like it was. I spent my emotional I burned my emotional gunpowder from the fifth inning to the to the seventh inning, and then it was like locked up, locked up, locked up. It just kept going. It was a draw. It was a stalemate, and the client stuff was amazing. But it was just like, oh my god, it was the fifteenth inning. The sixteenth inning.

00:08:18
Speaker 7: Bro.

00:08:19
Speaker 6: So now the Dodgers have the two Is this true? The two longest World Series games? The one from twenty eighteen to second and now this one is number one.

00:08:26
Speaker 1: That is crazy and thirty nine. No, it was. I watched the whole thing front to back. It was amazing. It was long. It was really long.

00:08:33
Speaker 2: When they were showing the highlights from earlier in the game and it was like daytime.

00:08:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's like, let's go back to the end.

00:08:40
Speaker 6: You're like, wait a minute, was you been playing you don't remember playing, or like certain at bats.

00:08:44
Speaker 4: I'm going to just call the series. Dodgers lead it two and a half to one and a half, because you get a half, you tie because of how long, and make it that way because it was crazy. You mentioned two full games. Its ran out of baseballs. I know you know what, here's some ran out of pitchers. Neg this is that viral meme that you sent us. Eighteen innings, six hours, thirty nine minutes, a total of six hundred and nine pitches, one hundred and thirty at bats.

00:09:09
Speaker 2: That's crazy. One hundred thirty at bats, nineteen pitchers. We witnessed last night five home runs, which is kind of low in an eighteen inning game with two powerhouses. But five home runs, big home runs, four Otani intentional walks, but you got the house. Yeah, he got on base nine times. Insane. Clayton Kershaw got in the game. Rich has a whole thought on that, But that itself was an event. And we found Waldough finally. I don't know if you saw that, but we found Waldough last night in the middle of all the Mainlee stars were out, people stayed up late. On a side note, if your kid stayed up late to watch, did you send them to school? If you were at the game in your little kid, do you go to school the next day to brag about it? Or do you stay home? Don't you go to school to break you know? I'm glad we stayed up late this again. We'll never forget this game. I truly believe it's one of those games we'll talk about for years and we'll never forget. There's very few games that you could put in the category of this game. The only one that comes to mind right out the gate is that the David Freeze Cardinals Texas Rangers game that went back and forth, lead changes and everything. There's only a few games that are of that level of magnitude. You know what the difference is, though, and I remember that game clear as day. I think the star power and familiarity with these players and these teams is far superior than that series. I agree, there's so many superstars on the Dodgers. You're really impressed by the Blue Jays and who they are. You're getting to know them. If you're not a Blue Jays or an American League fan, I feel like the star power is much greater. And here's the craziest part of all. Unless you're some sort of mister grundy, some sort of grumpy kind of a hole. Both teams are very likable, and I have a hard time saying that.

00:10:57
Speaker 1: Again, I'm a Yankees fan.

00:10:59
Speaker 2: It's hard to hate on both teams, even if they are the evil empire of today. They're likable guys on the Dodgers and the Blue Jays. Blue Jays are a great team. Dodgers are extremely likable. Mookie Betts, Shohil Tani, Freddie Freeman, Clayton Kershaw.

00:11:16
Speaker 1: Is there some j hole out there? I don't even know what that means. What's a j hole? I don't know figure it out. Jerk hole doesn't get at old though.

00:11:24
Speaker 3: I like it.

00:11:25
Speaker 1: I like it. I I'm in it. I'm in it. I don't like that. You're right, hip flexer. They're liable.

00:11:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, Brenda always says it's kind of goofy, and that makes them a little kind of likable because they don't take themselves too seriously.

00:11:39
Speaker 1: Show hey, how to do three?

00:11:40
Speaker 2: Before he was acknowledged yesterday, he was left hanging he did one, no one did anything. He did it again, no one noticed, he did it again, and finally like I love it the same way when my lowly mets do their little roll into the fists, you know, the fist pumps.

00:11:54
Speaker 1: I love those type of things. Kind of corny.

00:11:56
Speaker 2: But the kids on the kids on my t ball team, you know, we do that when they get a big hit, like you know, do the Dodger thing. Listen this so many layers. I just want to hit out a couple of points right now, go ahead. Alex Call could have ended this game with a sackfly, and I'm so glad he didn't, because a game like that, Yeah, Iowa Sam was like, come on, feld Spot. This spot was like can this team?

00:12:21
Speaker 6: And we were locked at five for eleven innings. I locked at five for eleven.

00:12:26
Speaker 1: Is why it was great.

00:12:27
Speaker 2: I thought that if Alex Call would have won that game on a sackfly, it di something just so anti climactic about that. So when he popped up to short, I was like, good, I was ready for the Dodgers. But I'm like, that's it can't end like at all that And I agree. I didn't want any intentional I mean like walking home. A week after it, there was another moment that was like, oh my god, just the nerves and the fun sasaki when he almost underhand threw the ball too low for first and then you see him smiling, Like the nerves but Freddy.

00:13:04
Speaker 1: Walking it off.

00:13:06
Speaker 2: I mean, it couldn't have been more perfect for a guy that the only guy in Major League.

00:13:10
Speaker 1: Baseball history to do it two times.

00:13:12
Speaker 2: Now a perfect bomb too dead center, like right over it was a three eighty five, three ninety five something, yeah, and lay over the three ninety five mark.

00:13:21
Speaker 3: And to dv's point earlier about how Steven Nelson was gunshy, I heard them play the call on Sports Center early this morning, and I'm like, that's the call, because yeah, he didn't want to just assume it was a home run after everything we saw.

00:13:35
Speaker 2: There was like the boy they cried home run because three three shots before that were all arguably like oh my god, it might be gone. But you know what tells the story years from now if kids ever bring that up like that was the call, Like yeah, but you don't understand there's a few bombs hit prior to that, and then it makes more sense, so.

00:13:53
Speaker 1: I get it. I mean get it.

00:13:54
Speaker 2: We listen, amateurs get tricked all the time. You watch a game with someone even at the stadium, like, oh my god, it's just a pop up, slips it down. Baseball fans that are seasoned were all tricked live and in television everywhere. On that Will Smith one, it looked like he got all of it, and the Sabermans and everything show that every ball hit at that trajectory launch hangs. Everyone was one hundred and two miles per hour exit of last.

00:14:22
Speaker 6: Yeah, so you could see how for everybody too. Right in like the thirteenth or fourteenth, I was like, this one's go, this was gonna end it. Nope, everybody, can you.

00:14:29
Speaker 2: Play the final radio called just to prove that even the best or a little gun shy in that moment, full.

00:14:34
Speaker 1: Count on Freeman, Little delivers Freeman.

00:14:37
Speaker 8: It's one high in the air, straight away center field, far.

00:14:41
Speaker 1: So hat the walk.

00:14:43
Speaker 2: God, wow, Freddie Freeman, Mister World series.

00:14:53
Speaker 1: Ends the marathon hat midnight.

00:14:57
Speaker 3: But at first it just sounded like a pop up, like one of the many pop up you know.

00:15:00
Speaker 2: He ramped up to it at the very end because the first like it's a deep center field, it's going back. Uh, yeah, there was Grandpa. What happened there? Well, let me tell your kid. Yeah, it was really thick that night. It was a thick air night in October. What does that mean, Grandpa, I don't know, but it was wild to see. It was the atmosphere. Man, I was keeping all the balls in least. It's there's so many layers and so many things to mention, but I want to focus on one thing. Okay, okay, because I got something, I got we go we all have something eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. I finally did it yesterday. I bought my kid a Dodger's jersey. Boy what because he's he's in T ball. I'm a Mets fan, but I can't force my kid to only like my team. He's like dad, I love the Mets. But he calls himself Benny Betts. I was telling you so last night. I said, you know what, Amazon overnight, let me buy him a blue Mookie Bets jersey. He calls himself Benny Bets. So well, it's a team. Like you said, even if you're not a fan, it's very hard to hate all the characters on this team. Here's what I think when you say that you grew up a Mets fan your whole life from New York. Your son's growing up in LA. But of course he'll appreciate the Mets because dad does. But there were certain athletes growing up that transcendent sports, and we all know who they were. Even if you were a Knicks fan, you had a Jordan poster in your room. Even if you were a Yankees fan, you had a Ken Griffy Junior poster in your room. Right, So if you're a Giants fan, you had a Bo Jackson poster in your room. There's certain athletes that transcended sports. And this entire Doctor's team to start there, all those dudes are along that caliber. Nkey Bets, Shohil Tani, Freddie Freeman, and even a Kershall like certain guys, and we're growing up in a time where you root for players. I get it, he's allowed to do that. I have to accept that. You know, our boss Scott, who's a big Minnesot, the guy he was there with his kids who are Dodgers fans.

00:17:04
Speaker 1: Your kids, could you know, root for your team with you? But wiscon stay the whole time? He did? He did? Yeah, and his son was wearing a Freeman Jersey to me, I changed my mind.

00:17:18
Speaker 2: I think, if your kids growing up in a city, why are you going to force your They could root with you, but you can't just force all your alliances your That's what your family is on your family crest do you have, mister met you you come from a long line of loser I mean Mets fans.

00:17:34
Speaker 6: Growing up in the city, though they're surrounded by fans that are rooting for the Dodgers.

00:17:37
Speaker 2: All his little buddies are Dodgers fans. The Dodgers are great. My son loves baseball, so.

00:17:43
Speaker 1: It's like, what am I gonna do? Like, no, no, no, you say you love them more than me. That's what you say to them.

00:17:49
Speaker 4: Yet, kidd guys, I'm joking. Is he Nobody laughed? I'm kidding, kidding. He should not say.

00:17:53
Speaker 2: That because is he a Mookie Bets fan or a Dodgers fan?

00:17:57
Speaker 1: Likes the Dodgers. Oh that's tough, man. But do you know what I thought about it? Him not be a little front run And I'm like, you know what, he's an l a kid. What do I care?

00:18:05
Speaker 2: What connection to New York does he have. I'm a long line of Mets out Not many teams are around. It's a sixties meeting, like my dad. Yeah, but I feel like it's part of Like, Look, we as Americans don't have a whole lot of culture, right, We're a melting pot and our country is not that old. Part of your culture is we're Mets. I'm from New York. I'm a Mets guy. So you like the Mets. Everyone out here is primarily transplants. A lot of transplants out here. He's allowed to like the Mets. He's making a choice. You could help, but it's it's a smart choice. I'm not going to force him to like my team if he's like dad.

00:18:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, but baseball's different football. I get it. Football.

00:18:44
Speaker 2: There's weird alliance and allegiances and weird choices you make as a football fan Baseball, so you stay within the family.

00:18:52
Speaker 1: Bro. That's how I feel. But it's your kids. So what do I know?

00:18:55
Speaker 2: I mean, what am I gonna do? Be like, No, don't like the greatest team with all the greatest characters. I say, you root for the Mets. But it's okay that you like Betts and Otani and these guys. They're great players. You like you're a fan of greatness.

00:19:06
Speaker 4: I get it, you know, as you hope for you hope for the Mets to go on a run, so then they become winners. The Dodgers maybe hit hard times and then he's pulled back in and that's what happens.

00:19:17
Speaker 1: I got.

00:19:18
Speaker 2: But then I asked myself, how did I fall in love with the Mets the eighties when they were great with Darryl and Goodin and Gary Carter, Keith Hernandez. So a team with marquee superstars that wins over a city is why I became a Mets fan when I was five six years old.

00:19:34
Speaker 1: Son is five six years old.

00:19:35
Speaker 2: So the way I felt about Gary Carter and Keith and Darryl, he's feeling that about these guys.

00:19:42
Speaker 1: So what type of jerk? Dad? What I mean? Not only that, not only for your kid.

00:19:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, millions of kids all over the world that were watching this game, worldwide, Japanese fans on the edge of their seat, right, you got all of Canada watching, You got everybody tuning into these big superstars. These are core memories for the little kids. These little kids will never forget that heroic moment of Freddie Freeman hitting that bomb, you know, and it gives hope that even little kids with bad haircuts could still be great.

00:20:12
Speaker 1: You think Freddy Freeman got bad haircut? I'm a little flat Are you shopping for a flat top?

00:20:17
Speaker 2: But anyway, yes, just come count and give me twenty great great dental were you, mister buzzcut?

00:20:22
Speaker 3: Also, what makes it interesting I think living in the city we're in right now, is that it's one of the few cities that baseball MLB is more popular than NFL, and we have both teams.

00:20:33
Speaker 1: So think about it, rich you.

00:20:35
Speaker 3: I remember the story where your daughter told them, I don't want that Ram stuff. Your kids aren't selling out for the Rams and Chargers. They're true. My kids are Niners. I'm Niners and Mets. My kids Niners and Dodgers.

00:20:48
Speaker 1: I bet you the.

00:20:49
Speaker 2: Dodgers are converting a lot of little kids out there because they're that good and they're that likable, and that's why you pay the big bucks to these guys. Well, so your thoughts, I got two more quickly things. They will take your feedback. We're gonna get to NFL two and I see the phones are hot. So your thoughts on last night? Was it a top three game in the last fifty years, the answer is yes. If not, I want to know the other games, world series games. That is, there's been some playoff games and but but world series games. It's hard to argue this isn't a top three of at least the last fifty plus because there's so many storylines in stories, so many moments. I didn't even mention Yamamoto yet we didn't even get the.

00:21:26
Speaker 8: Ed.

00:21:26
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm gonna be a can't do it.

00:21:28
Speaker 2: You know, I'm gonna be a absolute homer in saying this. But I mean you who wouldn't argue that Mets eighty six game six two outs and you know you score three runs David Freeze against the Rangers and this one. I can't think of any other World series the Gibson.

00:21:48
Speaker 1: So that's it. So now you're talking abouts four.

00:21:52
Speaker 2: Would you what's a better game for you as a Dodgers and this or Freddie with the Grand Slam last year.

00:21:57
Speaker 1: She died.

00:21:58
Speaker 9: I don't know, but that was, you know, it's last year. Had to me for the Grand Game one, Freddie me Gibbey. It was definitely less exhausting, so you know, you rounded out with us. But the fact that it was eighteen innings, I think adds to it.

00:22:14
Speaker 2: The only thing that was missing, the only thing it was missing, and I'm here, I'm being very nitpicky. Is someone scoring an extras and the other team matching them.

00:22:23
Speaker 1: I thought that was gonna happen. I love when that happens.

00:22:25
Speaker 2: Let's say the Blue Jays had put up a one spot in the top of the fourteenth and the Dodgers come back and tie it with one. Like, the only thing that was missing was maybe a little offense in those tense moments, but two observations and will break and take all your feedback. The only thing we missed out by this game not going twenty something innings? Didn't you want to see the warrior mentality of Yamamoto the guys a day removed from Pigeon of complete game, straight up warriors.

00:22:53
Speaker 1: You know what that was. It was like Daniel Larusso's gonna fight.

00:22:55
Speaker 2: Were some like Japanese Japanese pride, samurai honor like like he was.

00:23:01
Speaker 1: That would have been the most crazy thing in the world.

00:23:03
Speaker 2: If Yama Moto was like I'm pitching, yeah, he was warming up though. That was insane and as a just a fan of sports. Your stomach had it being knots when they called Clayton Kershaw's number with the bases loaded, two outs, and then when it was a full count and you're like, don't throw a ball, don't end this way Clayton when he got out of that inning, I felt like a Dodgers fan for a split second. And I'll say it, I really did. I wasn't even that was an easy play by Edmund And.

00:23:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, and by the way, Kershaw did throw a ball, just got lucky because you know he chased it.

00:23:37
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, well, and then there was like two or three foul balls. Foul balls, My god, Danny.

00:23:42
Speaker 2: I felt like in those moments it had to be in my life a top three moment of where I was invested, not with my team.

00:23:48
Speaker 1: I couldn't watch.

00:23:49

00:28:01
Speaker 1: I love it.

00:28:02
Speaker 2: Or the Dodgers just step on the gas and it's over like that might have been the or throws a no hitter. I mean, does Tony get a mulligan if he if he has a rough outing, do you give him a mulligan for everything he's done up to this point?

00:28:14
Speaker 1: Like he didn't sleep well? Yes, stan Byer, How do you guys think Shane Beaver is gonna do? I heard you say that. I heard you say that like that.

00:28:22
Speaker 4: I know Rich's head turned right to Cavino and I could hear him say.

00:28:26
Speaker 1: I think he just said Shane beef.

00:28:28
Speaker 4: You saw it, right, Yeah, well I know what I said him, Like, how did I say Beaver?

00:28:33
Speaker 1: Rich?

00:28:33
Speaker 2: Can't let those things pass when he fumbles a word, you're all supposed to pretend like it didn't happen, acts like a pro coveno. I could've been there, but you did say Beaver. So Shane Beaver tonight for so Tony, it's more fun. Let's be real, I said, justin biab in attendance again he was. Bieber was there to thumbs down, and that also made it fun. You know where you saw Bieber on Bert Krusher's Instagram story. You know Bert Krescher, the comedian that takes a shirt off.

00:29:03
Speaker 1: We all know Bert.

00:29:04
Speaker 2: Bert was sitting like five rows behind Bieber and he was like, not shy man, He's.

00:29:09
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, we're here. Yeah there's Bieber, look at him, look at him.

00:29:11
Speaker 2: Oh look there's al Michaels Like, so h he was a fun follow last night? Are pal Bert Kreischer? You were a fun follow because you were you were you think I was high. I was feeling nice, Okay, feeling nice.

00:29:25
Speaker 1: Rich's eyes were looking like po has his eyes. Yes, yeah, you can say it. The hothead's eyes.

00:29:30
Speaker 2: Kids were sleeping, The wife and I were just having such a lovely night watching this game. We had other plans, like the kids went to sleep early, and we were like, all right, I'm gonna get some recording done from Sirius XM and we'll watch a movie. We'll watch one of our shows after the Dodgers game. It ended up being such a memorable night. And I want to say something my wife said as a casual fan, you know, she doesn't watch clearly as much as I do, but she said the juxtaposition, and she did use that word. You were five dollar between watching Clayton Kershaw come in there with his grizzled gray beard, knowing that this could be the last inning he pitches in a Hall of Fame career, his family. You had a nervous stomach.

00:30:14
Speaker 1: It brought fans to tears.

00:30:17
Speaker 2: And then you see, oh that's why your eyes were all glassy like that.

00:30:22
Speaker 1: It was emotions. I get it. See now you're getting it.

00:30:24
Speaker 2: It was all emotions, Cavino. But you watch and you see Clayton Kershaw go through that emotional high of this is it could be my last pitch, my last inning. Faces loaded, two outs, full count, and then the guy's falling pitches off and you're like, Jesus Chris, oh my, Like I was, Danny, I was pacing. Like I said before, my wife was pulling her head into her sweatshirt.

00:30:49
Speaker 1: She could have watched.

00:30:50
Speaker 2: And then you go from Kershaw to Henriquez and then Kline. And by the way, Henriquez find wild at times. It rolls like one hundred two miles per hour. But during the regular season we saw him throw wild pitches, and so when he came in, I was like, oh.

00:31:06
Speaker 1: Please he did hit him at it. He did. I was like, oh, please keep it in the strikes up.

00:31:10
Speaker 2: But Danny, when I'm saying, let me just say that one more time, just the juxtaposition, which is such.

00:31:14
Speaker 1: A great word.

00:31:15
Speaker 2: You just wanted to say that again of a guy that it's the end. And then you turn to the next inning to a twenty three year old Venezuelan kid who's probably like, oh my god, I'm waging over my head. I'm usually wild throwing one hundred and two. And then you go to a guy that started the season with the A's, was with the Mariners, just made the postseason roster a couple of days ago, and he's put in the position to be the hero.

00:31:41
Speaker 1: Like everything about it was special.

00:31:42
Speaker 3: How about on the other side, the Blue Jays lower what he throws seventy pitches as a relief dame.

00:31:48
Speaker 1: That was wild.

00:31:49
Speaker 2: The Blue Jays played a great game too, they just happen to be on the losing end of it, So props to both teams. You mentioned klein Rich. His story in itself is amazing. Started with the A's and the Mariners got bounced tough round. Now he's celebrating with superstars in the game comes up big. Hearing him talking about something pitch performance, his career high before that was thirty six pitches or whatever, and the most unsung heroes not even will Klein but hold on to hear him.

00:32:14
Speaker 1: Talk about it, though, Cove, we listened to it earlier, you and I.

00:32:16
Speaker 2: Where he's saying when Freddie shohey, Mooky and those guys are cheering around him. He said, it's like it's better than what he possibly could have ever dreamt in like his fantasies.

00:32:27
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Mattie.

00:32:28
Speaker 2: If you told this guy in the beginning of the season about the redheaded bearded guy the beginning of the season, you're gonna be in a Game three World Series moment where sho hey, Mookie and Freddie freemanirle cheering you on.

00:32:45
Speaker 1: He would be like, no way, you're out of your mind. That's cute. No way.

00:32:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it happened and he got the win last night. But the real hero of that whole situation was the ball boy.

00:32:55
Speaker 1: Brandon I think his name.

00:32:56
Speaker 2: Was Brandon, came in with his little weak ass mustash to take the dirt off his cleat.

00:33:02
Speaker 1: Did you see that? Yes?

00:33:04
Speaker 2: And it made all the difference, didn't That also add to just what a bizarre, wild, fun, memorable night it is like in the middle of all that chaos, Brendon it.

00:33:13
Speaker 1: Was almost a moment of levity too, because when he.

00:33:15
Speaker 2: Comes out there and you like a popsicle stick and you see Klein like, we had a tongue is it called tongue un depressive pressor?

00:33:23
Speaker 1: And I take them off?

00:33:24
Speaker 2: At one point you realized Client's like, I can't really reach my cleat the right way.

00:33:27
Speaker 1: He does it.

00:33:28
Speaker 2: He pets the ball boy and they both give like a smirking smile laugh in the middle of the most tense game of their lives. So memorable. So many memorable moments, and I'll get We'll get to all your phone calls. How about that eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox, We get to you right after Dan Bayer's update What up?

00:33:47
Speaker 1: dB?

00:33:47
Speaker 4: Should also be noted Steve Cavino liked my tweets about that incidence of the bat boy running.

00:33:53
Speaker 1: To the mound.

00:33:53
Speaker 2: You know why I did, because I don't care what kind of guy you are. I'm a Dan Bayer. Yeah, I really not to say stand, but I'll go now just all right, I'll repost it and say you're the man, Dan.

00:34:04
Speaker 4: The alert popped up liked by Steve Cavino, not by Covino and Rich. Sometimes it's the show handle, but this was a Steve Covino solo shot. Dodgers up to one Shane Bieber against show Hey Otani. Tonight, Blue Jays and Dodgers cover John Fox four. Game four of the World Series is at seven o'clock Eastern time. Some news from the NFL.

00:35:09
Speaker 2: Dude, I saw that, and you know in an AI world dB, I was like, I don't know, is this true?

00:35:13
Speaker 4: This that looks absurd For the twenty thirty four World Cup. It would be more than three hundred and eighty yards above ground level, yes, and would be a site for the the soccer matches in eight years. A sky scraper with a stadium on top.

00:35:29
Speaker 2: Honestly, I can't even when I saw it, I'm like, no, we goot ai who had a sword?

00:36:05
Speaker 1: Hang tight.

00:36:10
Speaker 2: My dad would say, why you kissing ass? Well, you kissing ass? But I just emailed the boss to tell him that I was happy to hear that he stayed at that game last night. I mean, even if he didn't he used to tell everybody did. Oh yeah, but I did see the footage on his Facebook. No, but major cool dad points. If that's the game you chose to take your family to, you're able to go, and it's one of those instant classic epic games like that. That's hitting the sports baseball jack. I feel bad, but there are people that were deciding what game should I buy tickets to, and they're probably very angry if they chose today. I mean show Hay's pitching, Baber's pitching. I'm sorry, Beaver's pitching. It could be a great game. But off the heels of that, I don't know. I just feel like, how do you stack up against one of the greatest evers.

00:37:02
Speaker 1: Well, we'll see.

00:37:02
Speaker 2: Now we're getting to your phone calls, but first it's time for our tirect play of the Day. People are running out of adjectives to describe last night's Game three of the World Series. Freddie Freeman finally got a ball to break through the thick LA smog.

We talk football. Next hour, we go to your phone CAUs now in Culver City, NY.

00:38:10
Speaker 5: As a Dodger fan, you know, asked this kicked by the Braves in the nineties. To be able to celebrate this run, it's been amazing. I mean, that game within itself felt like a movie in Hollywood. It started out with the Kirk three run homer and then Otani coming back with a double to tie and getting home run to tie the game and say we're not losing. I mean, we didn't even talk about Otani and into two home runs. And then you get to the extra innings, curse all the Hall of Famer coming in cold with the bases. Oda by the way, get this guy out the ball you're three and two counts, Oh my god, out And then you got a Will Klein with the kid that the bat boy like it's like it's a movie, the guy smiling like it's a game.

00:38:55
Speaker 2: In June, Kevin I just watched the footage. They did a split screen of Kershaw and his wife in the crowd, and not to be corny on you, I got a little emotional when you see his wife and you see the emotions and stress she is feeling in that moment and what she's probably been through married to him all these years watching his career.

00:39:16
Speaker 1: That how could you not feel for that?

00:39:19
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Paul in Orlando, it's up, Paul, Hey, Paul thany guys.

00:39:24
Speaker 7: Thanks taking the call. We get three observations of fourth.

00:39:27
Speaker 1: If you think I earn it, now what you got?

00:39:28
Speaker 7: So? First one is best line of the broadcast, Joe Davis eighteenth inning saying Will kleinb guys, he didn't have a beard when this game started.

00:39:40
Speaker 1: I did laugh at that one. I was like, that was a good quick one liner.

00:39:43
Speaker 7: Second observation, you guys kind of stole my unsung VP. Beat the MVP with the batmoy and the tongue depressor. But how about another unsung MVP. Deeter the organist, Paul he his hands in contrast, beast bro he was great and another full game.

00:40:03
Speaker 2: He did a second seventh inning stretched and he was playing all songs that were appropriate. Yeah, the organ player was fantastic. All right, you earned your fourth one?

00:40:11
Speaker 1: Do you have one?

00:40:12
Speaker 2: One?

00:40:12
Speaker 1: Last one?

00:40:13
Speaker 7: Yeah?

00:40:13
Speaker 5: Third.

00:40:14
Speaker 7: Third observations a personal one here. I started out the game texting with Dodger fans fellow Dodger fans in Denver and Portland. Not unusual for a West Coast game. But get this, I ended the game texting with a colleague traveling in Africa who woke up in time and the game was so long he's able to catch the end of.

00:40:34
Speaker 1: The game's wild.

00:40:37
Speaker 2: But honestly, everything about it, I'm hoping everyone feels the way we did. But it was just a magical night of baseball, and it ended the way it had to end with with, like I said, a superstar hitting a walk off. It would have felt so flat, like I said, if it was like an Alex call sackfly.

00:40:53
Speaker 6: I think Smoltz made the comment that the commanders were already back on the flight and in home in bed and they were able to watch the end of the game.

00:40:59
Speaker 1: That's that's crazy in itself.

00:41:00
Speaker 2: So we're going to get to a little NFL next because let's just say a new purchase was made on this show and we debut a new character here On CNR next
