00:00Can we talk a little Tigers before we get to dog of the week?
00:01Whatever you want, man.
00:02I'm here till six.
00:04John, you think they're winning?
00:05I think they're winning.
00:06Nervous energy.
00:07You were nervous yesterday for game four.
00:08Are you nervous for game five?
00:10Yeah, I am nervous.
00:10Just look, I'll take I'll take scubal in a deciding game over
00:15just about anybody.
00:17I'm confident enough that they will win but I my fear I was
00:22just talking to John about this.
00:24It's exposure rates.
00:25Like when you start to see the same arms, this is the curse
00:29of a playoff series like you're starting to see players alter
00:32their approach.
00:33You know, oh look now Bo briskey bleeds like scubal's fabulous,
00:38but this is not going to be a surprise.
00:40This is not going to be unfamiliar.
00:41They just saw scubal and it's going to be asking scubal who's
00:46still young and still relatively inexperienced to go on the
00:50road and to do it again.
00:53And I you got it.
00:54Look this Cleveland go with Boyd.
00:56Yeah, I think so or they go empty.
00:58So then I think I think what they do John is they kind of
01:01go Boyd opener esque right get through the top of that order
01:06and look what's the status of Carpenter as we wake up and
01:09Hammy and nothing definitive and Jake Rogers in case people
01:14missed it also injured.
01:15He's caught every scubal start this year.
01:17I think you would go Boyd and it would be a lot like Olsen
01:21in that the minute you get in trouble.
01:23I'm coming in getting you but I think you do need to start
01:26with a lefty so it preserves Heron and Bobrovsky or whatever
01:31that kid's name is who's really good the two lefties right,
01:33but but my point would be okay.
01:36They've seen scubal now the second time Boyd you've seen
01:39Boyd hundred percent.
01:40No it and you got the Boyd in the first inning totally place
01:43and they pretty yeah, they put guys on base against Boyd.
01:45I think in the first four innings of the first meeting look
01:48I if I'm them I may go a different route, but see they
01:51haven't done business this way.
01:53Like if I'm them, would you ever flirt with the idea of Cade
01:56Smith to open and go get me six seven eight outs right start
02:00the game a different way.
02:01See you don't want to alter what you do.
02:03So look I'm with both you guys.
02:05I have a lean that the Tigers will get it done.
02:07I do but I'm much more nervous needing this now versus we're
02:12in the driver's seat.
02:13We're at home like go do the job and by B wasn't any good
02:19less the second inning bases loaded.
02:23In a game where you could break their will.
02:25I just feel like even though you didn't have the lead a bunch
02:28last night.
02:28You got it late.
02:29You let it get away last night more than just the the three
02:33two to four three you let it get away in that by B was bad.
02:38He's their ace.
02:39He was having a mental breakdown out there.
02:41I mean Carl Willis kind of nursed him through the first
02:44time he was he was bad.
02:47I just feel like they let it get away.
02:49How will you handle Tigers win?
02:51And it's Yankees Tigers ALCS your Yankees got in last night
02:54radio gold.
02:55What do you mean handle?
02:57It's fun.
02:58Like I'm not first of all, I understand my team is hate.
03:01They're hateable.
03:02Yeah, we should be hated.
03:03I don't take offense to it second, but you become persona
03:05non grata for the week.
03:06Like how does that go on?
03:07Oh, I'm not Rico.
03:08I'm not going to write.
03:09Yeah, I'm going to sit here and have fun.
03:11It's sports.
03:12It's not like you're calling my mom a whore.
03:14It's Yankees Tigers.
03:15Yes.
03:16I like a baseball team.
03:17You do too.
03:17If the Tigers win, I'm good because I want people here to
03:21be happy.
03:22I really don't like dealing in misery.
03:24Yeah.
03:24Now.
03:25Yes, I want my I want to win a World Series again.
03:27It's been 15 years, but there's no lose.
03:30We'll have fun with it.
03:31Make no mistake.
03:33I like the Yankees in a seven game format, right?
03:36Like you guys have seen the schedule.
03:37I don't know who wouldn't I mean, even though you when you
03:41say like like to pick them like to win the series.
03:44Yeah, I think like it's obvious.
03:46Yeah.
03:47Well, it is it is and it isn't remember like now.
03:49Yes, the Yankees have been choke artists.
03:51They've gotten to the ALCS four times like the last seven
03:54years problem is it's been the same cheaters that have
03:56knocked this out, which is the Astros.
03:58This isn't the Astros.
03:59The other thing is I feel like if you close out yesterday
04:04my view of the ALCS changes because I have to face school
04:07bowling game one and four potentially three times, right?
04:11Yeah, maybe but the point is now I might only face him
04:15once if I do my job and I view game three is an auto loss
04:20with school ball on the mound.
04:21If you don't see game seven, who cares right?
04:25You just the other problem is and you're starting to see
04:27it. You got a taste of back-to-back playoff baseball now
04:32in the ALCS that you're doing five games and what six nights
04:35six nights.
04:36I was looking at it's the first time I really stared at
04:38it to kind of see what next week would look like Monday
04:40Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, right?
04:43And I just think that's harder to do the bullpen thing.
04:46It plays in the Yankees favor because look AJ's been
04:48brilliant and and this Tiger team has been incredible,
04:51but you're asking them to do something that it borders
04:53on physically impossible with no starters.
04:56Now, you have Olsen you could roll him out.
05:00That's fine, but I'm with you like when you're talking
05:03about. All right.
05:03Well, we'll just pitch Cater Monterey.
05:06It's the ALCS.
05:07I mean just because I don't love Carlos Rodon if I ask
05:10you right now Rodon Montero, who do you want or if I ask
05:14you Clark Schmidt or Montero, who do you want that gets
05:18tough man and look Eric Cole actually looked like a guy
05:21you pay 40 million dollars to so yes, I would it won't
05:25be a walkover by any means.
05:26No, it would be great theater though.
05:28Your Yankees and Tigers look at the Giants and Lions hooked
05:31up in a playoff game.
05:32You don't think they'd be radio gold great.
05:33We already the bad guy to some people so it'd be phenomenal.
05:35It doesn't matter even though I picked Tigers in four and
05:37I had him here and I just I quit no one remembers anything
05:40nice you say so why bother but no, I think I'm I'm confident
05:46but I said you heard you and I were talking outside.
05:49Yeah, I get nervous in closeout games.
05:52I was nervous about the Yankees last night because you only
05:53do it once right and I and I said guys, I'm just nervous
05:57because everything is gone so well for you and you have
06:00gotten breaks you have you know, what happens if everything
06:03doesn't go your like is I think I use the line yesterday
06:06is Jose Ramirez going to be Bernie Lomax all series.
06:09Well, the answer is no same thing David Frye.
06:11That's an all-star caliber player who's been asked this
06:14series. Well, eventually they're going to hit guys.
06:17You had no shot of making the playoffs here in game five
06:20at ALDS with a chance to go to the ALCS.
06:22You got your stud on the mound like free roll.
06:25Let's go.
