Jake. How are you doing on this fine Sunday morning? doing fantastic Jim We're here doing fantasy football stardom or sit-em. Thanks for tuning in. No, we do baseball in this podcast no football no football and Yeah, I don't know. I mean, it's kind of like everyone expected if you had to If everyone had to place a bet through four games who was gonna have the best start for Houston You'd say Jose or kitty in baseball is an easy game Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm Just I love when things add up, you know Yes, because I'm not good at math. So I need things to just kind of you know lie where they lie and Jose or kitty Going five shutout Makes the most sense It's what we knew and then it was what was the game gonna be around that. So that's the story So, I mean Zach granky Going whatever he did 4.2 One earned run. Yeah, I mean, that's good. It's not rickety level No, no, not at all. And then you had Verlander six innings pitched four and runs bad Not great. You don't want that and Cole seven innings pitched five earned runs. Give me Jose or or kitty Yeah, it's just I mean It's the tough part for Houston. It's can we roll or kitty out there every day? Yeah You know quickly can he bounce back because you know kudos to AJ Hinch for not Throwing or kitty out there earlier because it's got to be tempting when you got that in the hole Uh-huh to sit on him and tool game for is crazy And I mean AJ Hinch managing Houston and the Mets at the same time. It's just incredible What's going on down there right? What I I was playing disc golf yesterday and sure hanging out at youth flag football games and youth Little League games You see anyone there. Yeah, I hung out. I said hi to Todd Frazier and we hang out but Todd's awesome. So that's cool. I mean, he was just like coaching his son's flag football game. It's like, you know He's just a dad. He's do you have any input? No, they had it dude, you know, it's funny his son is the age where you know on baseball. There's coaches pitch Sure in this flag football league. I don't know how old his son is by five six seven It's it's coaches QB. So like Nice, how fucking fun is that the dad's one? Yeah, the dads are having a blast I was like this that would piss me off as a kid. How old are they? Like five six. Okay. So yeah, that's still cool and a lot of it is handoff place But every now and then the they just the coach just tells his 11 five-year-olds go everyone go deep And then he just looks around and then throws it. I'm like, that's awesome. Give me a kid I want to go. I want to QB in a five-year-old football league. I tear it up Oh, if you have a kid in the Jersey Shore area, make sure you know where it is Yeah, I always know where your kid is I'd say right, but you don't want to lose Get a kid so you can so you can play football. I Was gonna have my own Right to five-year plan Okay, that that may well number still kind of don't add up there, but we'll we'll get to that at the end of the show I think yeah, okay. Well, anyway. Yeah, I hung out. So what's this? What's this Mets nonsense? I mean, we shouldn't do a whole thing on it because it is the world series and it is the Mets, but uh, dude Brody Van GM and Hinch are best friends. He's the best man at his wedding Oh So the Mets keep saying hey, we've got this bombshell manager. It's like, okay That's probably Brody Van GM's best friend then AJ Hinch. Is AJ Hinch a free agent? I Don't know Hinch's contract situation, but I think it's one of those things you can you can figure it out if you need to I think Hinch is is Like yo, Brody, you're my you're my friend I don't want to business with you Right because the like why would you want to join the Mets? Whatever Get paid a lot. You might have two rings after this I don't know, but we'll we'll circle to that and the Mets have a lot of talent They just have one of the worst run front offices ever. I wouldn't want to dip my toe into that. I wouldn't say worse run front offices I'd say worse run organizations Okay, whatever's whatever the difference is there. I don't really know but They retired a guy's number just to change the headline did we talk about that on this show Yeah, one of my fattier story lads. So anyway Hinch feature met manager Doing doing well for the Astros as they tie this up and now the Astros get Home-field advantage as it goes gonna win the World Series Jimmy This is my favorite question ask on this show the Astros and I said when the nationals are up to oh I said I think the nationals are gonna win the World Series But if the Astros win the next two I reserve the right to change my mind and I have and that's that's how this show goes We're not first take where we just have to lock into opinion and then defend it with all our might. I don't care I'll flip flop all over your ass Yeah, that's uh, they've been calling you the flip flop Man unreal and if you're a nationals fan listenin socks, yeah socks you I Just had one of my weird analogies come into my head is like if a giant was invading your town I I'm talking like early 1200s not a lot of technology giant's coming in he's gonna underestimate the 1200s. Oh I never do dancing plague But the giant comes into town. It's like up the Giants here He's gonna eliminate our town and it's like well Let's fight the giant and then like oh wow first two shots. You ripped out its eyeballs and it's like okay We're gonna take down the giant and now the Giants just like pissed off. He threw one of his eyeballs back in it still works Oh, I thought it was gonna be like a blind giant like a blind giant actually can cause more damage Because he's just waving his arms and stomping everywhere now, and you're like this was better when he had a name Right. Yeah Cool visual Jake. Thanks for that. Thanks for tuning in everyone We'll talk to you after game five isn't blind giant a band Could be blind giant Yeah, it is there's a couple there's one called these blind Giants and Their name the name of their single is witch magnet So they're in deep into like That world of witches and Giants. It's a good time of year for them Tough break. They have zero monthly listeners. Oh It's a rebuilding year for these blind Giants. Oh, yeah, they're just kind of figure it out. Yeah You want to burn this game? I'm burning this game Jake you burn Game for the world series winner of this game wins the world series according to Jalos fiance and myself Patrick Kurt corbane inviting the Astros to come as you are in the nation's capital top one Breggie Smalls with the Juicy RBI single followed by you lay you lie infield single Michael Brantley scored To nothing after one meanwhile for the Stroze Jose left the national saying you're keating me Jose or Keity with five shutout innings What a boost for Houston what a blow for the Nats speaking of blow for the Nats Ravens and Chorinos hang him and bang him babe to run go for ball Nats would push one across on a Soto RBI ground Out it's four to one into the seventh. Hey, bro. It tits man or an ass man. Neither. I'm a breg man Alex goes all Denny's on him with the grand slam off my king Fernando Rodney It's eight to one and that would be your final Houston locks up the series at two games apiece You're kidding me. You're kidding me Put that on a shirt Houston Come on Houston be better about it. You're kidding me. Oh That's pretty good. Also went with the little Kurt Cobain in the beginning, huh? Yeah, Kirk Corbin Cobain. It's all there nirvana Yeah, I was on a That cover of that album you were the baby penis They found that baby and they like reshot the cover with him as like a fifth like an adult like a 20 year old or something like that Nice some band did that. I met a girl once in San Destin, Florida. Nice dude. Yes Thank you. I was in seven. I was in eighth grade. I don't know how old she was I'm gonna guess eighth grade as well Maybe you guys still stay in touch. Haven't stayed in touch since the three days that we hung out together she was super into a Kurt Cobain and Brought out like this yearbook of scrapbook of that she made For Kurt Cobain and Nirvana and then she like was showing me all the pages in the hotel lobby or whatever We were hanging out and she started crying and stuff hmm, and I was like This isn't something you should reveal to the public about yourself Yeah, she was so young and then I can never think about Kurt Cobain and Nirvana without thinking about that crazy girl who Made a scrapbook and cried flipping through her own scrapbook. So thanks for bringing that into my head Jake on this Sunday morning Parenting's brutal man. Like when your kid gets locked into something. What do you do? Like I don't know my mom had to be pretty weirded out that I was obsessed with Terrell Davis the Broncos running back Like I don't know Yeah, Clay Bellinger Cody's dad the utility infielder writing a paper on him in third grade. Like yeah, that's weird. Yeah Yeah, yeah, I don't know what you do if your daughter Like flips through like the scrapbook of the depressed singer who killed himself, but yeah Made good music, I don't know what you do I think you officially you know you you know what you know what her parents said you should show that to boys you meet That's what her dad said knowing that he'd they'd scare him away. Yeah, that's dad 101. Yeah, show this to that guy you like See that's tough though That's a double-edged sword because what if she finds the one guy that's like this is the coolest thing ever let's cut ourselves Then your fuck that's bad move Jim, what are your thoughts on this baseball game? Um Corbin blew it Astros Turned it on man. I'm you know two of a two hits Brantley to three hits Braggman three hits I'm very happy for Braggman. I wasn't enjoying Braggman doing awful to be honest with everyone like I like that it hit The darkest of times and the errors at third should have been the end of that Game three him going 0 for 5. I was like this kind of blows now intentional walk They kind of poke the bear there. Yes intentionally walking to get to bring we got to sad time. So I I'm happy with that Fernando Rodney did exactly one of the two things. I asked him to do It's either be lights out or be awful Yeah, and this game met the status quo of this series You know hey nationals you don't want to use anyone but Hudson and do little you need Yeah, your pitchers to go six plus so you can hand it over to those two died guys in the pen They didn't I mean rainy comes in and walks to Rodney comes in gives up a Single then the grand slam then walks two more and then whatever happened gets pulled like That's what everyone kind of expected They held it together for a couple days. We didn't expect that but I mean this was this felt like yeah This is how this is supposed to play out for me at least Hudson and do little haven't pitched since game one Which is kind of wild just because they had to blow out and then they lost the last two And yeah, I guess that that's got to be the hot topic in nationals land right now is I mean yes You're losing four to one But Alex Bregman's up. I mean you kind of should go Hudson or do little there to keep it a game, right? With them not pitching the day before I haven't I haven't I Went to sleep last night and I woke up and did this so I haven't seen any scuttle But like I don't know what the conversations national fans are having or Houston fans, but but I would guess that's that's a Conversation like why with two on in the seventh inning of a three-run game like nip this in the bud Real quick and give the offense a chance. That's what I would guess Yeah, Rodney had been doing well But he's not as good as he's not your best guys It's it's that high leverage situation. Use your high leverage guys in the highest leverage spot They they clearly like Rodney against Bregman. That's who when they intentionally walked Brantley. It was Rodney and Bregman So they kind of liked that matchup, but Yeah, world series and when you see Bregman starting to get the bat going you got to know that's That's not going to be a winning formula for you. I mean, they are down three runs. So I guess there's there's something there Yeah, man, and the the ever important first inning Astros put two up in the first it could have been more Friendone doesn't pick one and they get the double play ball off Torino's which he shows his face later But yeah, man, it felt like when the Astros pushed two across in the first and then Erkyty held in the first Like that was a win Because like Erkyty could have gotten pulled if Erkyty got in trouble in the second They like would have pulled him and you can't do that with Corbin. So once he got through the first It was kind of like you kind of did your job Erkyty won five strong man. I was I was blown away that he was still in there His previous two performances as postseason he didn't clear 50 pitches Um So, I mean you kind of assume that again. He's a rookie. He hasn't been like on a on a regular routine or anything Um, but yeah, man five inning shutout best start for houston this this world series Are you worried about soto? um No No, I mean soto uh Soto can go back to having an insane narrative with Uh with one big swing in game five or game six or seven to be honest um But yeah, I don't know you you see him in in that that big spot bases loaded Uh, it gets the ground out in a run scores, but it's kind of like you're we We are now nurtured to expect a lot more for him from him. I meant like, you know, since turning 21 Tides have changed Right. No, he's um, I don't think he knows how to he doesn't know how to fit into his 21 year old body yet Father time is undefeated Yeah for some No So you think tuck everlasting was fiction All right, we just can't go down this road again. You josh You josh, um Soto rodney to bregman. Yeah, I can't do that. Um No, not worried about soto. I mean it, you know, he ends up having the only rbi in a walk rendone goes two for four Um, dude, look at everything surrounding them. Trey turner goes 0 for five eaten goes 0 for three Kendrick goes 0 for four Zimmerman goes 0 for four um I mean just nothing there Did you see the pitch Bregman hit the grand slam on Yep, it's a pretty good pitch right inside 93 fastball Well, it's kind of I I mentioned this last time that Uh Smoltz said like it's it's kind of known that bregman's approach as he looks middle in until he gets two strikes. So I mean, it's tough to say it's a it's a lowing in fastball from fernando rodney to bregman. Um I'm not going to say it was a great pitch if you know I would say it's an impressive swing still Yeah To drive really good to drive that ball Did you see verlander and coles reactions? You see coles reaction? Yeah You think that like coles to lick bregman's foot or something now? um Definitely seemed like there was a bet in place And col was like fuck No, I think I think that look on coles face was like Game like he went into his starting pitching for tomorrow mode right then Ooh, I like that, but verlander kind of like slaps his arm like joking like, oh, oh, yeah So I think there might have been a bet going on because even when bregman walks down the tunnel Cole still like doesn't crack a smile. Yeah, he's like upset by it I like that that he goes into game mode Yeah, that's what happened. I think I'm gonna do a breakdown up in and I'm gonna do a fake bet though Okay, what should the fake bet I do on the breakdown? Fake bet on the breakdown God, I don't know lsu bregman a1 yesterday I don't know. Okay. Cool. Good. Thanks for the help. Well, think about it sit on a cake It's always a good one Yeah, it's always a good bet amongst friends. Yeah You've had to sit on so many cakes in your day The cake sitter cake farts Jake jesus jesus Holy cow What the f david blaine Astros are sitting pretty they have home field advantage with their two best arms going What storyline do you like more? The verlander and Cole are now in like Bully mode because they got got right. We don't get got and they go like seven innings pinched each two hits like just straight dominance Or the gnats are like, okay, bring us these guys and they feast on them again. Yeah, no, we're We love these guys. I just don't throw our kitty out there Don't put our kitty on that mound. Which storyline you like better? After tonight's game if They just get to Cole again Like that would be wild So I guess I'm kind of rooting for that um, it would also be Just as cool to see garret Cole go like eight innings pitch 14 strikeouts in a world series game five in washington Just angry What the fuck mode? It's like, yeah, you guys fucked up. You got erkeety. That's what Cole's saying Erkeeting me You're keeting me Scherzer's on the bump tonight Buck johnson says Scherzer's gonna dominate Yeah, buck johnson, uh, was all over me for loving the astros and he kept telling me to jump on the band Bandwagon. I'm glad I did it. Well, he says stay on the bandwagon. He thought you jumped No, no, no, no buck. Uh, get your wagon out of here You couldn't jump onto a wagon I could jump onto a wagon. What kind of wagon are you envisioning low red flyer? Oh, no, I was picturing like organ trail stuff. Yeah, you can't jump onto that I could jump onto that Only if the side of it was velcro and you're wearing a velcro suit. Oh, I'm catching up from behind Oh, yeah, for sure. You can jump onto that Yeah, yeah Okay, cool. Okay. I'm glad we settled that because that worked that worked Um Hey, well, this is gonna kind of lead us and well, I won't let it lead us and that's being a pro jake Um, how about charinos dude? Two homers. Yeah, but he's getting helped with that sticker on his back the magical. Yeah, that's right. So Yeah, so they don't count Did you see what well, we talked about charinos that was that was odd I don't know anyone saw it like something fell off his bat. He just picks it up and pockets it then tells the ump I didn't think it was in any way A treating allegation, but it was definitely different and rasbon tritters like hey, what fell off his bat Like it looks like a sticker and then someone said they put like the commemorative like sticker type thing On because he hit a homerun the game before and he just didn't take it off world series there Like this bat hit a world series That was odd. But yeah back-to-back homeruns first guy to do it since last year. So that's a stat not worth sharing But they shared it for sure But pretty cool. I don't like charinos's beard and I don't like the quotes. He said Thought he came off like a dumb dumb but happy for him. And did he get a lot of concussions? Why is he wearing such a weird catcher's helmet? I don't know. I feel like we missed that it there was a cool. What was it 10 years ago that Like catcher's helmets became just a free-for-all like the hockey mask was allowed and then some people still had the old thing And it was kind of Like it felt like every series you saw a different catcher's mask and that was kind of exciting I hate the hockey mask catcher's mask Sorry dog, not a fan. I feel like that was John Flaherty's error. Like he like liked that a lot I'm gonna google charinos Catcher's helmet because it's got like an extra wall of padding in front of his forehead and it looks weird Okay, um, I wonder if he had a concussion Meriznik two for four good for you, dude Yeah, I like Meriznik How about I mean, I don't know you could tell I just mentioned that Rendon did his thing kind of but there wasn't too much support around him I'll two of a two for five Brantley three for five Bregman three for five Uh five rbi's most rbi's in a world series game by a third baseman. Jim you like that most rbi's in a world series game by a third baseman Correct No, I don't really care. I mean that's cool If if Bregman finds that cool. I'm happy for him But I don't really put a lot of stock into it like one game Yeah, was it four Five That's cool all right There was just four that's it's like you just hit a great slam one home run got you with them. So yeah It'd be cooler if it was multiple. I didn't even think it was cooler if it was five spread out through three at bats then Five spread out through two Nobody cares nobody. Yeah, this isn't something that's what I'm saying. No one cares about this if Bregman takes pride in that I'm happy good for you Bregman. Yes So what's gonna happen? You want to move forward to this next game? Uh, yeah, I'm trying to think that there's anything else Uh, Houston bullpen. I mean they when they got the rally versus james soto bases loaded and then he grounds out that kind of felt like it Yeah, I mean the home run was it The grant right but that was before that. Oh, you think it was over before that If it stays four, I mean if it stays a three run game going into late innings I mean it was four nothing Base is hooked for soto if you're the gnats you're already saying like, oh, he's about to go yard We tie this game at fours when he grounds out and then Harris gets kendrick too, which Again, kind of circling back to where we started to this series. I mean you know The depth of the nationals lineup is lesser than houston's Um, and will harris mows down how how we kendrick. Yeah, but I mean the in the in the later innings there was The astros gave up base runners and if that's a four to one game Maybe it plays out differently like there was two on in the seventh There was two On in the eighth right one Yeah, two on in the eighth like they they still had the makings of putting something together But it was a seven run game after this grand slam. So too little too late The jake story alley story Yeah That's exciting though because that means you're gonna do something cool soon. You gave corbin some junk I mean should corbin get a lot of I don't know if it's dislike or does does corbin get the blame for this. I mean they only score one run He looked pretty bad in the first single single single four singles in a row then a walk The ground ball the double play like really helped him by charinos Yeah, because He's looking like a bad first inning. I don't know. He settled down. He had like a nine pitch second Uh, it was only two runs But then the walk to cray and the home run to charinos like it's bad. It's bad outing You want more from corbin? Yeah, charinos he and that was that was the definition of a hanger. That was uh, that was a bad one Yeah, all right. Let's take a quick break. Then we'll talk about game five Game five jake and now baseball is built on three game series during the regular season jake. Did you know that? I think so. I think you kind of could have figured it out if you hadn't some four some twos Yeah, mostly threes now. We saw that five gamered in the end of the year. What was that filly's gnats? That was wild so the gnats are built for this. So a three game series now Kind of fun and the to open it up You got garret call versus scherzer to sigh young As garret won a sigh young yet. He's probably going to win it scherzers one one two top tier pitchers This is gonna be a fun game I mean, this is the intensity for the gnats to win this game with scherzer on the bump at home Pressure is fully on The nationals Yeah, that uh that stadium has to be nothing short of raucous Raucous, but yeah, we we've talked about like we said it in the green key game green key versus anibal We're like, okay. Yeah, if we had to guess this game before you'd say, I don't know Green key does his job anibal gets touched up a little more than them and we'll kick it to the bullpens Um, this one. I I mean if you're not rooting for basically eight innings shut out from each pitcher Um, you're kind of not a baseball fan Um Yeah, well, there's some people that don't enjoy pitchers duels Um, I think there's plenty that do I I am rooting for both these pitchers to just hang their nuts out and go like right though If you're a baseball fan and it's Cole scherzer I mean you're you're rooting for double shove Yeah, maybe maybe Uh this the over under we're rooting for Jake Is four under four I was hoping you put it three I was thinking about it. I saw you thinking about it But if it's like the eighth inning and both those pitchers empties the tank and they both turn a two to two game to the bullpen We just got eight innings of like fun Yeah So that's why I went for That's that that will be the interesting thing to see a Where we go with all these playoff games the first inning that's going to be your best chance b B Scoring runs in the other innings Yeah That would be your other best chance No, and you wonder I mean does small ball come out is there uh It should if if the only rally is in the sixth inning and garret coals at 96 pitches and there's one out two runners on Are they gonna pinch hit for him? Uh, I mean vice versa for the gnats and scherzer Who's gonna do more to help their team with the bat? Scherzer or call I think scherzer. I think scherzer gives can give a tough at bat when he wants to Um, so we're let's have some good nl experience coal from his pirate days. Okay. Here's here's how it works jake Okay, you get a point For every pitch scene Okay, okay If you get a base hit You get three points So I can I can see I can go down and watch three matches you get two points I can see three pitches and that's the same as a base hit Okay, so a base hit's got to be worth that's a good call base hits got to be worth five points Kind of I I know where you're going with this, but it's not Yeah base hits were not good at all sack buns worth three each pitch is worth one Who's gonna out score the other at the plate? Oh this old baseball game the people love playing Dude nationally fans. This is the when you hear nationally fans say they're playing fantasy baseball. This is what they're playing right Just scoring it home to themselves. Yeah, I don't care at all. I'm I'm interested to see make you know With the astros teams throughout the years as we've been seeing them as the yankees We've seen different approaches. We've seen them try to take pitches To get verlander and coal out of the game. We've seen them attack early because that's your best chance Um our both do you think both teams are trying to just attack early and hoping they get something or is it Try to milk them attack early. You have to yeah If you let them go deep in the count like they're going to throw 120 pitches anyway Yeah, so You if you end the odds that they dice you up increase if you have more pitches seen in the at bat Unless they're off unless coal like can't find the zone Or scherzer can't find the zone, but if they're on you have to attack early If you're the nationals No one can touch the ball in this game besides scherzer do little in hudson Yeah, I mean you really would scherzer just go until he he can't throw anymore Yeah, when you just said both of them are going to get 120 that just got me excited Well, they're both not going to be able to pitch again in this series, right? Um, I mean game seven heroics, you know mat they're both not going to get a start in this series This is their last start. So yeah, they're throwing till if they're on they're throwing until they can't throw anymore That's fun. It's exciting. Yeah, and also the whole uh at bat Fantasy scoring that's right at bat fantasy. Okay. So three. So if you see six pitches, that's better than actually getting a hit Yeah, but who sees six pitches or picture that is a run just one point Because I think that'd be funny. Okay. It runs one point. Yeah Run is the same as one pitch. Okay Who cares that's up to someone else. I've got scherzer winning seven eight to seven Eight to seven, huh? Yeah Damn bold No, it's got to be more than that. He's gonna get three. I gotta be a lot more than that because you said It's gonna be three at bat point basically. Yeah, he's gonna be three at bats he's gonna see One one is gonna be a one two three strike out. That's three one's gonna be a strike out That's with another ball that's seven one's gonna be a sack bunt. That's three points. So that's 10 So Scherzer's gonna win 10 to eight And you've got Cole winning one nothing I don't care. I haven't cared about this. This is crazy Yeah, it is This is no no nine that exciting Who uh, who do we want to be heroes tonight? Not charinos the guys we like is it the like yeah, not charinos. Is it just our like list from yesterday? Yeah, well you like springer. I don't I'm indifferent Give me give me braggman. I like bad boy braggman being the hero again I think they I think they took it too far when they intentionally walked to get to him I think braggman just didn't sleep that night stared at himself in the mirror and was like they intentionally walked to get to me They intentionally walked someone to get to me Fernando Rodney this girlfriend or whoever was like come to bed alex So they intentionally walked someone to get to me, babe You think i'm gonna sleep So you think braggman lets a girl in his hotel room during the world series Yeah You're out of your mind. I don't think I'll think Okay, buck johnson says he wants to hero to be zimmerman. Obviously we'd love that Yeah, we're team zimmerman Yeah, I think he would be number one on the like if you had to pick one guy to hit a game winning homer It's either zimmerman or para Oh my god, will they play it after para does something? I mean if they do that's unfair. That's too much of an advantage. I think you start para You give him one at bat Okay Let the baby shark fly Maybe start him lead off give him one at bat Baby shark to open up the game Cole hates it And then you all hates and then you and then you replace him in the field and set the lineup the correct way the next time through You know who kind of likes baby shark verlander cranky Oh, yeah, did you see that video of him and his his son like meeting in the in the hallway? That was cool Real nice. You're the biggest cranky hater in the world. So I wouldn't say that Show everyone your diary You beer diary. Yeah Beer diary, I hate Zach cranky. I just showed everyone is Okay, so yeah, there's actually there's a lot of fun heroes on washington because I mean That's soto 21 year old soto could really use it. Oh, yeah We did Zimmerman Para would be a real Hail Mary, but that'd be cool um Scherzer or Cole getting a big hit, but we already went over the scoring system for that. Yeah, there's a scoring system in place um Yeah, give me your number one guy that you'd want to be a hero on houston is is bregman I'll two of a and then bregman Okay. Yeah, I think I think I'll two of a I like that guy It's cool. Yeah our size. Yeah And then Zimmerman is probably my number one choice across the board mr. National coming through. Yeah That's pretty wild All right that uh, okay. Yeah now i'm i'm rooting for that i'm rooting for uh And I want Garrett Cole's last hitter to be Ryan Zimmerman like pitch 118 Zimmerman's up there Given an old warrior at bat. I am firmly rooting for the nationals in this game I was rooting for the astros the last two I'm firm because if the nationals don't win this game It's a six game series Right, and I want a seven game series Right because you dated the nationals to win yesterday for that Yeah, I know you don't think the nationals have a chance today I read I read I read your diary. It was like beer diary The nationals have a chance to win today. Yeah, right, and I like Zach cranky. Okay I'm very snippy with your diary if max Scherzer goes out and pitches aiden and shut out I mean, we're not going to be here tomorrow being like you're keating me You're keating me is that max Scherzer every single pitch looks like he's just gonna die Like I don't know I don't know how the pitching coach or Dave Martinez like knows when Scherzer's gassed Because from the jump i'm like his arms falling off his arms falling off on every pitch He looks like he looks like a classic like disney movie when the aging pitcher Like kevin costner and for love of the game when he like at the end of this perfect game He just can't throw anymore and it's like just like hurting. That's what scherzer It's just like i'm gonna empty the tank every pitch coach. Yeah, you got a lot of career left man It's genius All right, that ends the show unless you got anything else to say I don't think so. I'm rooting for whoever's down in the seventh inning nice Thanks guys. We'll see you tomorrow to recap whatever the hell happens tonight. Bye
