877-3DP-SHOW, email address dp at danpatrick.com, Twitter handle at dpshow.If you're watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app.If you're watching on Peacock, you'll notice we don't have a full lineup.Pauly is not here today.
Hopefully tomorrow.Talked to him yesterday, and he's doing a lot better.I'm not sure where Fritzie is.Could somebody let Fritzie know that the show has started?I do not see him in his seat. Seaton, he is your back row mate.You want me to go find him?
Well, I don't want to lose you, too.Maybe the... Oh, no.We weren't doing costumes today.That happy fellow right there.Yeah, Fritzy has got his shark costume on today.Not a shark costume, a shark costume.
It mostly covers his mouth, too, which is great.Yes!Can you speak in your shark costume?
I could speak a little bit.How's that sound?
Good.Didn't we talk about this?We weren't wearing costumes.
Yeah, but it's a sports game.I'm no ordinary shark.Ready?He shoots, scores!What kind of shark am I?
You're a San Jose shark.I'm a San Jose shark.Okay.
San Jose shark. I thought you guys were all getting dressed up.
Can we just not do anything for the show today, but just watch Todd try to manage his headphones and that outfit, please?
I can't, like, wear the thing and have the headphones on.
Okay.You can't do anything yourself. It is not possible for you to do anything yourself.
He is.I did not imagine that he would be struggling this much.
Baby shark, shark, shark, shark, baby shark.Remember that song?
Now, wasn't this a video where they had the... This isn't conducive for headphones, this particular outfit.Yeah.Who's the pop singer?She had the shark.Oh, uh, Katy Perry?Katy Perry. Is that where that shark costume is from?
I think we did like a thing.For some reason, I feel like I was out in the streets in New York City once ordering food and that.
You had lost a bet.Yeah.Well, Todd didn't lose a bet.He just decided to show up in costume.No one else is in costume.You know, I don't like costumes on Halloween.
Something crazy happens in the sports world and it's bad.
Yes, then I'm dressed as little Bill Peep and, you know, I'm talking about something really serious.
I have a lot of other questions, by the way, if that was your choice of costume.It's funny that we're going on 18 straight years of nothing happening on Halloween, so you would have been okay all this time.You could have shown up as the Tin Man.
We just started. We're nine minutes in.Eight minutes in.
Let's get a little hot in this thing.
Bring back Brewer's memories.Go ahead, take off the costume.You sure?Yes, absolutely.Are you sure, though?Because watching him try to navigate his headphones right now is... Okay, how about we see if you can make it to the commercial break?
All righty.Very warm.So the Dodgers win the World Series.The Yankees collapse in the fifth inning.And Fritzie, into numerology, do you want to give the numerology?Can you even hear me?
Because with the fifth inning, and the score was 5-5, and Freeman, who got the hit, made it 5-3, and he's the MVP of the World Series.Where's number five?There's a lot of stuff going on with five.
OK. All right, so the Yankees, this is how it sounded, the final call on AM570, LA Sports Dodgers Radio Network.
Dave Roberts can hardly watch.
Here's the one-two pitch from Buehler.
Got him swinging!That's it!It's a World Series win for LA!They've done it!They've finished the job and give Los Angeles the parade it's been waiting for! A swarm of Dodgers on the right side of the infield.
Grown men, but children again, living out their dream.
That's courtesy of AM570, our friends in Los Angeles.A seven game series comes down to more than one player, one person normally.
And with all the millions and millions and millions of dollars that both of these franchises spent this year on their rosters, it comes down to small things.
Small things like catching a fly ball, covering first base, making a good throw to third base, taking advantage of a situation.Aaron Judge drops a routine fly ball.The fifth inning started harmlessly.It was like, all right, 5-0.
Garrett Cole was dealing.All right, we're going to Los Angeles for game six. Then all of a sudden it happened.Judge drops a ball.Anthony Volpe, an error, throw to third.
And then Garrett Cole, he sees a dribbler from Mookie Betts go up the first baseline.Anthony Rizzo, he's sort of waiting for Garrett Cole to be over there and give credit to Mookie Betts because he got down the line.
He never, ever said, well, I just ground it out to end the inning.If you look at Garrett Cole, he comes off the mound.He's headed towards the dugout. Anthony Rizzo backs up.There was maybe a little nonchalance on his part there.
I don't know if they would have gotten Mookie Betts, in fairness to the totality of the play, but Garrett Cole has to.This is what you work on in spring training. When you go watch spring training, you'll see this every single day.
All right, I'm going to throw it, and then I'm going to go cover first.The first baseman throws it to me.Then you get in the back of the line.This is simple.This is just baseball 101.Get over there.
But do not rule out or forget Mookie Betts, getting out, right-handed hitter, getting out of the box, getting down the line, and really putting pressure.This is what happened with Mookie Wilson in the World Series with Bill Buckner.
He put pressure on Buckner.Buckner was not going to get the ball over to Bob Stanley.Stanley was not going to get there in time.And this is what Mookie Betts did. He did not give up on the play.He put pressure on them.
Garrett Cole doesn't cover first base.Rizzo is there holding the baseball.And then all of a sudden, Freddie Freeman gets his opportunity and he didn't miss.He didn't miss at all during the entire World Series.
But you're watching this and you're trying to understand how do you make these little mistakes.But this is the Yankees.The Yankees were not a clean team.Terrible base runners.You make mistakes.They didn't hit.But give credit to the Dodgers.
And I'm going to start with Dave Roberts.I know Freddie Freeman is your MVP and rightfully so.Probably unanimous.Dave Roberts did a wonderful job. And I liken his personality to Terry Francona.Francona dealt with big names and big egos.
And he managed that.And he managed that on and off the field. And Dave Roberts has some of that in him that he's able to take.They play like they're a scrappy, you know, small market team.And that is really a testament to Dave Roberts.
And I know that we, you know, questioned him.You know, it felt like each year his job is hanging in the balance. And I hope that people aren't second guessing him.He did a great job with the pitching staff.
Walker Bueller coming in and a unique stat where you save a game and you win a game.That doesn't happen very often in World Series history.Freddie Freeman was great, but you get production from the bottom of the lineup.
It's just small things that made them world champs.Here's Dave Roberts, the manager.
Yeah, we have talked about this in the past, Dave, how much it irritated you to hear people say 11 straight postseason berths, only one title, only one.How do you feel about that criticism now?
I'm going to take the high road. You know, it's hard to win a championship, regardless of, you know, what your team is like.It's hard.And there's a reason why there hasn't been a repeat champion since the Yankees did it.
And so it clearly speaks to the difficult, the playoff format, all that stuff.And so I'm going to be in the moment and I'm going to enjoy the heck out of this one.And I'm sure there's no asterisks on this one.
Ah, there you go.I liked it. Stat of the day brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of the program.Operator Tyler sitting by taking your phone calls.

I already have the World Series odds for next year, according to DraftKings.Your favorite?The Dodgers, followed by the Yankees, Braves, Phillies, and the Orioles.That's according to DraftKings. I don't know where Juan Soto is going to go.
I don't know if Juan Soto knows where he's going to go.I think he'll go to the highest bidder.His agent is Scott Boris, and it usually happens that way.
But if you're the Yankees, if you're Juan Soto, have you seen enough where you want to stay with the Yankees? Being a left-handed hitter and having that right field porch, I would certainly entertain the idea that that's where I want to be.
And in a lineup that's got other guys, power guys. You know, it was just, and I said this during the World Series, maybe the playoffs, it's not a well-built lineup there.
And I think that'll be the key in the offseason is can you make it a fuller lineup as opposed to we got three really good hitters here and then we have a bunch of pedestrians.We thought the Yankees had the better pitching staff.
Dodgers didn't get a lot out of their starting pitchers, but they got enough out of their starting pitchers.And then you had Freddie Freeman, and that was pretty much enough.But I did like that Juan Soto goes, hey, right after the game.
He's like, hey, all 30 teams, I'm open for business.And I'm like, Juan, I'm going to guess there's maybe four teams, three teams who can afford you.It's not 30 teams.I don't think we're going to have this announcement in the offseason.
Juan Soto has just announced he is going to the Pirates.That's not going to happen. It's probably going to be maybe Toronto, the Yankees, the Mets, maybe the Dodgers they've talked about.Do the Giants try to make a splash?
They've tried to do that in previous seasons.So. Juan Soto's probably got maybe five teams that he can entertain the idea of joining them.And you're probably going to have to start the negotiations at around $600 million.Do I want that?No.
Because once again, how many stars can you have?You must have a full lineup here. And if you're going to spend that kind of money, what are you passing on that makes your lineup fuller instead of, I'm going to rely on that one guy.
The Yankees have relied on Aaron Judge.And I said Aaron Judge was going to homer last night.And I was sad that he dropped that fly ball because he had a great season. And I don't want him remembered for that.And he won't be remembered.
It's not one of those Bill Buckner, oh, that's all you remember because of the magnitude of that error.They were leading.They were going to win the World Series.They were going to get rid of this drought that the Red Sox had.
Bill Buckner had 2,800 hits.If he didn't have bad ankles and knees, he would have had 3,000 hits.He would have been a Hall of Famer.But Billy Buck is known just for that one play.
You know, you had Judge out there, and for some reason, he's thinking about doubling up the runner.Small things.Fundamental.Fundamental things.
Here's Aaron Judge.I think falling short in the World Series will stick with me until I die, probably.I think just like every other loss, those things don't go away.
There are battle scars along the way, and hopefully when my career is over, we've got a lot of battle scars, but also a lot of victories along the way, too.
Yeah.You know, I get it.It's going to eat him up for a little while.And, uh, does it stay with him?Well, it'll stay with him.The question is, does it stay with us?Do we go, Oh, Aaron judge.Oh, he dropped the ball in the world series.All right.
He didn't have a great world series, but he did Homer last night.It was just that play something really, really small.Hey, keep your eye on the ball.How many times are we told that growing up?Keep your eye on the ball.
Shohei Ohtani didn't do much in the World Series.Obviously, it banged up with the shoulder, but he built up enough credibility during the regular season, playing through the injury, that he kind of got a hall pass here.
And now you look at this Dodger team next year.They weren't healthy this year.And then you get Ohtani who's going to be able to pitch. That's why they're the World Series favorites.Yes, Marvin.Oh, yeah.Clayton Kershaw's coming back, too.I don't know.
I don't know.You think he sees it?I don't know.I mean, he's been through so much.I don't know.I mean, he's probably going to say, let me go with the mindset of I'm going to spring training, maybe.
But if you do bow out, I mean, you won the World Series.You like to be part of it, but He's been a part a lot of the Dodgers' success.But for Dave Roberts, I'm happy for him.I do like him, like him personally.
And there are times when I shake my head with some of the moves that he makes, but not in the playoffs.I thought he did a wonderful job.And for Freddie Freeman, he's one of those guys where you go, that's right.He was MVP.
And they seemed to put the ball in the same position when they were trying to get him out.Like, I would never throw the ball inside to him. And then he muscles that base hit and two runs come in.That's just a professional hitter.All right.
877 3DP show.We will get to your phone calls.I'm sure we'll hear from I'm sure Buddha is going to call Gus in L.A.is going to call.And by the way, I buried the lead.Bronny hit a basket last night.How about it?Let's go down a round of applause.
I said it'd be a mid range jumper and it was. So congratulations.Ronnie James is in the books.And now he goes to the G League.We'll take a break.Just getting started on this Thursday.We're back after this.

We got football coming up tonight.The Texans are underdogs against the Jets. It's one of those point spreads where you go, things that make you go, hmm, hmm.I know Aaron Rodgers has a new drink.I guess it's a cayenne pepper and water.
And he's saying it's a fountain of youth for him. I think it's a little late for that, but maybe that is the reason why they are favored tonight.He's been in the darkness.He made peace with the darkness.
Maybe he's out of the darkness and maybe get in the win column.That would be a good start.But the Texans versus the Jets coming up tonight, former Jets head coach. Rex Ryan will join us a little bit later on.
The Walker-Buehler stat that I mentioned, fourth pitcher since 1969 to record both a win as a starting pitcher and a save in the same World Series.He joins Madison Bumgarner, Catfish Hunter, and Jack Billingham.
Brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of the program.
All right, let's hear from our Dodger buddies, Buddha in San Francisco.Good morning, Buddha.
Dan, who's got it better than Gus in LA and I?Nobody!Let's go, Seton!Woo!Dan, I am low on sleep and high on championship emotion today.Let's go.The job is finished.I mean, happy Halloween, boys.
Dan, I know you don't do costumes normally, but I can tell you right now, I am dressed and going out into the streets today as a champion. I'm popping champagne all weekend long.
I mean, there's so many storylines and people I'm happy for as far as the Dodgers go, but Dan heavy is the crown and the one person I'm most happy for to your point, DP. is Dave Roberts.Like the dude managed his ass off this postseason.
He had a decimated starting rotation.I mean, he had to think outside the box all postseason and he won with a bullpen and like timely pitching.I mean, something that has been a huge Achilles heel for us in the past.
I mean, just watching that Yankees fifth inning implosion was just literally wild to watch and not
Thank you, Buddha.Speaking of Gus in L.A., congratulations, Gus.
Good morning, Mr. Patrick, how we doing?Hang on one second.Hang on.There we go.Oh, wow. Hey, but hey, it's World Series time, right?I mean, the Yankees fans, you know, they probably have done this a few times.It's our time.Here we go.
Hey, what a season.What a season.We start off as true fashion as Dodger organization with drama, the interpreter, then injuries.Just count them up.Mookie Betts wasn't there for half a year.Yoshinobu wasn't there for half a year.
there for half a year.Then Freddie Freeman has his, you know, his trials and tribulations throughout the season.We have two full-time starters starting the postseason.And where are we today, Mr. Patrick?How do you like us now?It is gorgeous.
You know what?I'm not going to carry this Golden State Warriors mindset when they won.Nobody did.But go back.How many people picked the Padres to win? How many people were saying, hey, these Mets, these Mets can do it.
How many people said the Yankees rotation was too strong to overcome?A lot of people.Not like, you boys have a great weekend.I'll see you at the parade tomorrow, boys.
Thank you, Gus.Yeah, parade tomorrow.I don't know if Gus or Buddha have been to bed, but can't blame them if they haven't.Moe in Arizona.Hey, Moe, congratulations.
Thank you, thank you, Dan.Morning, Dan, Dan X. You wanted me to cheer up the other day.Well, damn it, I'm happy today.Yeah, good.Let's go.Good.Props today, Roberts, man.And I'll tell you a secret.
On behalf of the half the Dodger fans, even though that we won in 2020, yeah, that wasn't really right.We always took credit for it, but now that we actually got the real ones, yeah, we'll admit it now.But yeah, let's go.Go Blue.
All right, guys, have a good one.
All right, Mo.All right. Sounds a little better than he did the other day.Let me see.David in Ohio.Hi, David.What's on your mind today?
Hey, Dan.Happy Halloween.
Happy Dan Patrick or treat.
Oh, no.Are we doing sports names?I got some Halloween sports names, and they're not from the 1980s.So I think you'll like them.
OK.I got Kirk. I got Dacula Prescott.I got Gary Bones.And the last one, uh, DD lamb.That's it.Thank you.
Okay. Todd, do you have Halloween sports names today?You got a t-shirt on that has some of those.
I do.We've heard a lot of them, but some people maybe... No, no, no, no.
We're not recycling here.That's the whole bit.The whole bit is him recycling?
The same names over and over again for the last 20 years.
And I can't invent names that a lot of these people, whatever generation they're from, if that fits the Halloween theme.R.I.P.
Hamilton.Yeah, but your names are from the 80s.There's players today, if you did a little more work... That have like spooky kind of names?You could find, yes, you've got spooky bats.Ghost Malzahn or something like that, I don't know.
Ghost Malzahn, okay.Ghost Malzahn.Okay, I'm fine with that.But every one of them is from your childhood, from the 80s.
Like a Sidney Twix Wicks, like that.
Sidney Wicks who played for UCLA.Nobody knows that.
From the Celtics, Sidney Twix.
People know Evel Knievel.Okay.Right?That jumps generations, literally and figuratively.Okay. I had Warren Fullmoon.I know that's a little bit back, but you got Dave Kasper.
They're all, this is decades ago.
We got Steve Psycho Lyons.Remember when he pulled his pants down at first base?Steve Psycho Lyons.
Tori Haunter. Wasn't that long ago, Tori Hunter?Tori Haunter?
Okay, how about... This goes back a little bit.
All right, great.Thank you, Todd.Silence of the Seedy Lamb.
No, no, no, no.That's a current guy.
Okay.Silence of the Seedy Lamb.Great.Somebody must have helped you with that one.Vince in Austin.Hi, Vince.
How's it going?I just want to give hats off to the Dodgers, man.They were the best team all year.They had all the cards and I'm an Astros fan, die hard, but giving props, you know, I'll make do.They deserved it.They earned it.
I'm glad we didn't lose to them.I'm glad the Yankees did.But Fritzie, I need some fantasy help. Lamar Jackson's my quarterback, and he plays against the Broncos.Should I sit him, or should I play him?
I wouldn't sit Lamar Jackson, but the Broncos' defense in recent weeks, this whole season, has been tremendous.They went from rank, like, at the very bottom last year, to almost the top three in almost every defensive category.
I think Lamar will still get some decent points, but not the kind of points he usually gets.
Well, the question would have been, who is your other quarterback?
Yeah, I thought he was going to share that with me.So if it's not Lamar, who would you be playing?
Mike in Hollywood joining us.Hi, Mike.How are you?
Good morning, Dan.It's a great morning.The Dodgers won the World Series, and last night, my whole family turned into the center for the Denver Nuggets because everybody was asking the same question. When is parade?
Thank you, Mike.When is parade?Joker, it's going to happen.I must stay for parade.
No, no, no.I want to go home.I want to go home.I've been here since September.
Yeah.You win an NBA championship, and then the Joker, when they tell him that there's a parade, win his parade.Yes Marvin.
He was happier winning the silver medal with the Serbians or not the silver but the bronze with the Serbians.Yes he was.Because that means more to him.
The NBA is to him is playing overseas.Yeah.Like are you going back overseas?Yes.Yeah.
It's Novak Djokovic, and I was told by somebody in his inner circle that the Olympic medal would mean more than winning a Grand Slam title, that it was that important because it's for your country.Let me see.Jason in North Carolina.Hi, Jason.
What's on your mind today?
First time in a long time.You thought I was doing okay today?Yeah. I just had to chime in on the whole Dodgers thing.Cause I am a Yankees fan and I'm not a spoiled sport.I thought it was a bad matchup for us.
We haven't won one since 09 and I accept that.But the people are like, Oh, nobody picked the Dodgers to win.Then they've been picked for the last decade straight.
And I don't even want to hear about that Mickey mouse tracker, Jagger, and they got in Houston because that was if Kershaw didn't submit his legacy, like they would have lost that if they played in front of a hostile crowd.
But I'm proposing a poll question.Who should be more embarrassed about their overall completion percentage?The Dodgers winning titles over the last decade or Anthony Richardson this past Sunday?
Well, the Dodgers didn't say they retired and they wanted out Anthony Richardson.He's only 22.And you try to stress that to people.You got to have patience. It's the hardest thing for these general managers and coaches and owners to have.
In professional sports, patience.We want it now.Billionaires want things now.They don't like to wait.But you have to wait.And let's be fair to Anthony Richardson.He needs to learn from Joe Flacco.He needs to want to learn from Joe Flacco.
And I know there are people who say the only way you get better at football is playing football.I don't think that's the case with Anthony Richardson.Anthony Richardson needs to understand what it's like to be a leader.He wasn't that at Florida.
He was a curiosity.And he was a curiosity in the draft. And if you were having him in the draft this year, based off his stats and what he did at Florida and the Combine, he'd probably be the second quarterback off the board.
Shador Sanders would go first, he would probably go second.But he's only 22, and he got embarrassed, and rightfully so.Make up an excuse.Don't give your teammates the impression that you're quitting on them.
Whether he did or not, I mean, he was honest, and maybe he thought it was harmless, like, man, I'm tired.You know, I just ran, I got tacked, I'm tired.But that signifies something else with your teammates.
And, you know, we've been talking about the Dodgers, all the injuries, like the pitching staff.They probably had nine guys that, you know, weren't able to make it to the World Series who will be there next year.
And Clayton Kershaw has said he wants to come back.Otani is going to be pitching next year.So you're going to take away some of the offense, but now you get to make that pitching staff a little more formidable.
And not everybody was picking against the Dodgers, but there were a lot of people who loved the Padres and then even thought the Mets.
Oh, OK, the Mets, they got they had maybe it's their year that that team of destiny and then the Yankees with the pitching staff. So there were some doubters here.It wasn't a, oh, it's the Dodgers.
The Dodgers, I thought what Dave Roberts did, I would have given him the MVP except for Freddie Freeman.So after Freddie Freeman, I thought Dave Roberts did that good a job.Yes.Yes, Mark.
In this climate where there's so much movement between players, how impressive is it that they've been this good for this long now?
Well, okay, they still can go out and get Shohei and Yamamoto.They spent a billion dollars, so let's.The Yankees have too.Yeah, but the Yankees didn't have a good roster.That's what I'm saying.Oh, I thought you're talking about the Dodgers.
What the Dodgers have done is impressive, but you just can't give somebody, the Mets spent $89 billion.Yeah.That doesn't mean anything, okay.
They didn't spend that much, but.
In my story, in my story, they did.
They did spend a lot of money. You have to have those guys.That guy.And that guy is the guy who you would not think.You would say, that guy's going to beat us?But every team it feels like.If you, down through history.
I mean, Dave Roberts had a stolen base in the ALCS.That's it.That's it.But it was one of the biggest stolen bases in baseball history. So having those guys, that's the difference.The Dodgers had those guys.Like, who is this?I don't know.
He just got a base knock.Oh, he's two for four.Wait, we got him at the trade deadline from St.Louis?Like, that's what you need.You need a pitcher who comes out of nowhere to help you.Yes, Marvin.
Like, you need an Edmund.Yes.We're like, who?Yes.He's almost like Scott Brocious. I don't know where Scott Brosius played before he played for the Yankees, but you just needed a guy to come up big that you're not expecting to come up big.
The 7-man, the 8-man, those guys win you World Series titles.
Those are the ones who crush you.The opposition, where you go, Like we're getting beat by that guy.Aaron Boone.Yeah, when he played.Yeah.That's who's going to beat us?
But Aaron Boone has to know that, or Brian Cashman, we need Aaron Boone at the bottom of the lineup.You need the guy who's batting 7th, 8th, or 9th. and able to come through in a clutch moment there.But this is about the Dodgers, and rightfully so.
I hope people don't get hung up on Aaron Judge dropping that ball.He was looking to double up the runner, and... I mean, it's small things.It's covering first base.Here is the play with Garrett Cole and Anthony Rizzo.
Incredible.Atrocious defense from the Yankees leading directly to a Dodger run in the fifth.
Again the Dodgers take nothing for granted.Watch Mookie Brett's run.He knows he's got a chance right there and that spin and the delay right there.Cole was thinking he could take it by himself.
And they talked about the spin off the bat of Mookie.And therefore you couldn't charge it, I guess.Rizzo couldn't attack it.He had to kind of wait for it.But Garrett Cole is walking off the mound.He's walking towards the dugout.Look at it.
Small thing.Small thing. But it, you know, it's those things, you know, a grounder in the hole, bullpiece throw, offline, something simple.So it's not one of those where, you know, Otani didn't do much, but that tells you how good that roster was.
And it still felt like they were an underdog from a small market. Like they played like they were the Kansas City Royals.And that's a testament to me, Dave Roberts, in that locker room.And that proved to be true, I think, the final result.
All right, let me take a break.We'll have our play of the day coming up next.
Be sure to catch the live edition of the Dan Patrick Show weekdays at 9 a.m.Eastern, 6 a.m.Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. The play of the day.
No, no, no, no, no.No, no, no.You're not doing Bronny James.What?Play of the day.No.No?No, no, no, no.
Yeah.I know.Dodgers won the World Series.I mean, okay, the Dodgers didn't win last night, then maybe I'd let you get away with Bronny scoring his first basket.Fine.Give me, give me the real play of the day.
Check this out.Here's the one-two pitch from Buehler.
Got him swinging!That's it!It's a World Series win for LA!They've done it!They've finished the job and give Los Angeles the parade it's been waiting for!
That's courtesy of AM570, the LA Sports Dodgers radio network.Prior to Wednesday's loss, the Yankees, in their history, 32-0 lifetime in the postseason when leading by five or more runs after four innings.

I had to call you because I definitely woke up feeling jealous of the Dodgers because they have an all-star team.And you are witness to the greatest team of all time, the Big Red Machine.
And I just had to ask, and maybe it's not an answerable question, I don't know, but is it ever possible for a team like the Reds or any small market team to ever, I don't even think what the Reds did back in the 70s is maybe ever doable again, but to even do a team like what the Dodgers have, is that ever possible again for a small market?
No. No.And the Reds wouldn't stay together if this was modern times because they would be offered so much money to play elsewhere.Everybody stayed together back then.You weren't jumping from team to team.You took pride in staying with your team.
Now you can jump around and nobody looks down upon that.Yes, Marv.
Back in those days, were players getting traded that often?Were they getting traded a lot or was your team your team?
Well, I think for the most part, your team was your team.You know, when you think about the big red machine, Pete was there for a majority of his career.Johnny Bench was there.Tony Perez was there.
Tony, you know, eventually I think went to Montreal, but Johnny was there.Joe Morgan came over from Houston and you had Griffey, you had Cesar Geronimo.Now it's not the best. team, nationally team of all time.
It might be the best lineup, but the pitching staff wasn't a great pitching staff.They were a good pitching staff.
But, you know, you're comparing apples to oranges with this was the Reds team and you bring up a lot of those players in the minor leagues.Nowadays, you couldn't field that team.I don't know what that team would cost you.
If you had Rose and Bench and Perez and Morgan and Concepcion, I mean, that'd be a lot of money.
Somebody would be like Juan Soto.
I know we just lost the World Series, but it's time to get paid.Mike in Wisconsin.Hi, Mike.What's on your mind?
Morning, fellas.Happy Halloween.I don't mean to bring the parade down or rain on the parade, I should say, but to me, baseball a championship, it's just different.It's kind of disappointing.It's such an uneven playing field with no salary cap.
Is there anything coming in the future to kind of level that out?
I don't think so.Don't think so.I mean, that's the beauty of the NFL because the NFL wants parity.They want you one year, you can be successful.Maybe the next year, your schedule's tougher and you're not able to rebound and, you know, kind of
mirror what that season was before.I mean, the good teams, the great teams overcome that, but they do want to have those surprise teams.They want to have the commanders or the Falcons.Like you want to have that.We had the Buccaneers last year.
You want to have those stories.You give every fan base hope.In baseball, you don't have that.Now you can go in and say, boy, this is going to be exciting.I'm sure the White Sox probably went into this season and went, you know what?
You know what, maybe we catch a couple of breaks here, and then all of a sudden you're like, nope, nope, we're not any good.
There's certain, like the Pirates, you have some young talent there, but you always think, it's like when I watched Garrett Cole with the Pirates, and I went, man, he's gonna look good in pinstripes or a Dodger uniform.That's what we do now.
It's, you see them and you go, boy, he'd look good in that uniform.
Yes, Eden.It is funny that people are pointing out how dated Moneyball is now.Like the two richest teams are back in the World Series.There's all of these different things about Moneyball that clearly don't hold up anymore.No. It's cute.
I mean, it's a good movie.Yeah.It never held up for me.I know I get on my soapbox.It was like they never at any moment mentioned the great pitching staff they had.All they talk about is damn Scott Hatterberg.David Justice.Man, he can get on base.
OK, who's on the mound for you?Oh, you got Zito and Mulder and Hudson, Jason Isringhausen.I mean, that's part of Moneyball 2 is having a great pitching staff.Yes, Marvin.
When I was younger, the Royals and the Athletics seemed like teams like, you know what, those are just breeding grounds for the Red Sox and the Yankees.Like Johnny Damon, he's really good.He'll be a Red Sox in about eight months.
Update the poll results, Seton, for the first hour.We'll talk to our good buddy Joey Votto.Recap the World Series.Semi-mean-spirited poll.
Who feels worse today?Aaron Judge.Garrett Cole. Anthony Volpe, the Los Angeles Angels.
I would say Aaron Judge does.I mean, Volpe's throw, people don't, you know, they're not going to go, like if Jeter made that play, they'd be like, man, Jeter.Well, first of all, the captain never played himself.No, he would never make a mistake.
He would never make a mistake. I think it's on Aaron Judge because he was the face of the franchise this year and didn't perform well in the postseason.Homered last night, but the big error in the fifth inning.
All right, one hour in the books, two more to go on this Thursday.Fritzie, Seton, Marv, yours truly.
