Chapter 1: What led to the final four teams in MLB postseason?

0.031 - 2.795 Unknown

Yeah, there should be some passion. This doesn't have to be boring.

0

3.315 - 19.437 Rich Hill

You don't get bored by baseball. Okay, one thing the game needs is more people like you. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You.

Chapter 2: How did the Brewers' victory impact the playoff landscape?

19.698 - 19.978 Rich Hill

You.

0

20.399 - 40.99 Bradfo

You. You. You. You. You. You. You. All right, there's no human being on the planet I would rather be talking to just moments after the Brewers beat the Cubs, and officially now we have the final four in baseball, and that would be Rich Hill. There's nobody I'd rather talk to than a guy who actually struck out Kyle Tucker.

0

41.29 - 47.821 Rich Hill

That's right. That's right. He's sitting, and he's sitting there. He's going to get $400 million this offseason. I would say this.

0

Chapter 3: What strategies do teams need to implement in the postseason?

48.341 - 67.07 Bradfo

I would say this. I've always applauded you for striking out Kyle Tucker this year. After his last at bat as a Chicago Cub, I'm not applauding you quite as much. Like, that was weak. It was like the weak ground ball to second base. You could hit a home run, tie the game.

0

67.631 - 75.354 Rich Hill

Yeah, yeah. But the strikeout was impressive. It was impressive. I'm never going to take that away from you.

0

75.374 - 77.057 Bradfo

I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.

0

77.197 - 83.548 Rich Hill

I mean, who's going to be a free agent? Who's in their prime, right? I mean, hey, I'll still.

0

Chapter 4: How do the Dodgers' strengths compare to the Brewers'?

83.789 - 89.539 Bradfo

Yeah, you struck, if you had nothing else, like you said, you struck out a guy who's going to get $600 million.

0

89.519 - 106.095 Rich Hill

I mean, look, if you want to go for the value, not the value sign, but you go for Pete Alonzo and you take Cody Bellinger and you take them both and you take the $500 million, you sign both of those guys, and you know what? You go win the World Series next year. That's what happens.

0

106.515 - 110.339 Bradfo

Yeah, I'm with you. This isn't what we were going to talk about.

0

110.579 - 111.841 Rich Hill

No, I know, I know.

0

111.921 - 116.505 Bradfo

But I'm with you. I'm like, number one, I'm all in on Pete Alonzo.

116.587 - 127.019 Rich Hill

Yeah, he's awesome. He's great. Played with both of these guys. Played with Pete Alonzo. Played with Cody Bellinger. You don't get – it's the top of the food chain as far as in the clubhouse, what you're getting.

Chapter 5: What makes the Seattle Mariners a team to watch?

128.14 - 140.755 Rich Hill

Unbelievable guys. And, you know, they want to win. And they know – especially Pete. Pete wants to be there, you know, in that postseason as bad as anybody.

0

142.036 - 142.937 Bradfo

You know what?

0
0

143.671 - 166.613 Bradfo

He also is elite when it comes to the most important analytic of any position player that has games played. Yeah, that's a great point. Thank you. I feel like my senses are keen in the middle of the night. So thank you so much for jumping on. Yeah, how about last night's game?

0

166.633 - 177.448 Rich Hill

Yeah, well, you know. Wow. Okay, so real quick, if you're a baseball fan, 15 innings, take the runner out of the – change the rule.

Chapter 6: How important is starting pitching in the playoffs?

177.668 - 194.536 Rich Hill

I mean, I didn't want that game to end. Everybody who loves baseball didn't want that game to end. And if you did, you're not a real baseball fan. Oh, let's go. Let's get this on. This is the freaking – I mean, it was awesome.

0

194.576 - 195.878 Bradfo

Paces loaded.

0

196.018 - 197.82 Rich Hill

One out. Double play. Oh, my God.

0

197.84 - 200.864 Bradfo

You know, like you're just losing it. It's unbelievable. I know. It was.

Chapter 7: What role do fan bases play in postseason performances?

201.044 - 208.033 Bradfo

And I wholeheartedly agree with you that in the postseason, there should not be a ghost runner. Absolutely.

0

208.254 - 209.575 Rich Hill

Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no.

0

209.595 - 231.789 Bradfo

No, absolutely. But I will say this, and maybe this is the first time we've ever disagreed on anything in our lives. But I still have the ghost runner during the season. I'm like, I like the fact that you aren't putting innings upon innings upon innings upon innings in the regular season. But you got it right. You got it right in the postseason.

0

232.55 - 244.189 Bradfo

And I saw some people even say, I don't think you can change things like the pitch clock and things like that. Yeah. I think that that's sort of like, it is what it is. That's the game now.

0

244.55 - 244.831 Rich Hill

Yeah.

Chapter 8: What are the predictions for the upcoming championship series?

245.151 - 266.747 Bradfo

But I think you're right. I think this is, we all know why the ghost runners there. It's just to shorten the season. I mean, it's like. You know, it's basically to make people so they can get to work the next day. I mean, that's it right there, Rich. Having the ghost runner is so that people aren't complaining about going to work the next day. That's it.

0

266.767 - 270.591 Rich Hill

Yeah, but those are the stories that you tell. Man, the 16th inning, you know?

0

270.671 - 277.138 Bradfo

I know, and that's the story they'll tell in that game, in the game that we're talking about.

0

277.743 - 288.959 Rich Hill

Yeah, I mean, they should have left school to win. I don't know. Armchair quarterback. Oh, no, it's not. Are you kidding? No. They had them by the, you know, they had them right there.

0

289.259 - 305.327 Bradfo

So they had them by the six sevens. The six sevens. See, I know what the kids are talking about. I know. Is your son coming around, coming home and yelling six sevens?

305.627 - 315.715 Rich Hill

Yeah, he's upstairs. I think that's a little, I don't know. I think that might be a touch younger or I'm trying to get a feel for it. You know, five, six, seven. Yeah.

317.129 - 318.871 Bradfo

I don't think there's a five involved.

318.891 - 319.793 Rich Hill

I know.

319.813 - 341.688 Bradfo

I don't even know. Anyway, so let's start there. Okay, we're going to get to who you think is going to be in the World Series, who is going to win the World Series. You take away from these games the last couple nights that we have, which are close games. One was much better than the other. But it comes back to something we talked about a million times.
