What question sparked the debate between Ortiz's Grand Slam and Butler's interception?
Yeah, there should be some passion. This doesn't have to be boring, boring, boring. You don't get bored by baseball. Okay, one thing the game needs is more people like you, you, you. Still have grown men run around tight hands.
It's Mookie Betts. It's Daniel Bard. It's Steve Aoki. It's Saltz Lamacchia. This is Brock Holtz. Hey, this is John Lester. Baseball isn't boring. Baseball isn't boring.
Welcome to Baseball Isn't Boring. Here's your host, Rob Rattler. I'm Drake May's wife, Bake. Oh, Bakemas, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I can't bake. I don't even know where I'd start.
Are you inspired? Who are you more inspired by, Drake May's wife baking or Drake May?
Well, I mean, I don't want this question to go one way.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let me rephrase that. What he's doing is amazing.
But I will say, to go from a... whatever it was, a four-win team last year to the Super Bowl? I mean, you know, I got to go with Drake.
Rob, can I ask Mike my Shane Smith question, please, so I can get this off my chest?
Oh, yeah.
What makes David Ortiz's Grand Slam in 2013 so impactful?
Do you remember what that was? Mike, I don't know if you know this. I don't know if I've told you this, but I'm a diehard Denver Bronco fan.
Oh boy. Okay. Yeah. I think I did know that. Okay.
Probably social media or something, but that's a long story of why I am, but I made diehard Denver Broncos fans. So obviously, as you can imagine, I was not happy with you a couple of weeks ago and the whole nonsense. So Sox Fest, I was interviewing Shane Smith and I'm going to ask you what I asked him. And that's, I need you to be honest here. Okay. I know you can be honest. Um, How badly would the Broncos have beaten the Patriots if Bo Nix were healthy? Be honest. Be honest.
So here's the thing is, I mean, I'm going to get crucified for this, but I don't know if they win that game if Bo Nix is, like, but at the same time, if Bo Nix is playing now, like, I don't understand football on that high level of the strategy, the play, everything. I know it enough. It's such a tough question because you never really know. But if the Patriots offense had done what they'd done and played the way they played, not whatever, it's going to be hard for them to win that game. It's going to be hard for the Patriots defense to completely shut them down. Now, At the same time, it didn't happen.
Oh, I know it didn't happen. But the only touchdown they scored was Stenum literally giving it to you guys in the red zone. But I digress.
To your point.
How did Malcolm Butler's interception change the Super Bowl narrative?
Listen, Courtney, I think that Mike explained it perfectly when he said, it's a tough question because you never really know until you know.
And New England did play very conservatively.
Which is an expert way of saying I don't want to make anybody mad.
100%. It's very politically correct on your part, Mike, so I'll give you a little bit of credit for that.
But I mean, think about the World Series. That play with Rojas. At home plate with the touching... Who was catching at that point? Was it Will Smith?
Yeah, Will Smith.
Yeah. You know, it's like two inches. Right.
Imagine if he had to feel that ground ball in a snowstorm.
Yeah, or if it was raining. Or imagine if Rojas was at third for whatever reason. You know, we don't know. We will never know.
We don't know, all right. But you know what? I think that game would have been a little different.
But Courtney kind of knows.
I kind of have an idea. That's all right, though.
So last thing, give us the prediction. Give us the Super Bowl prediction. Because there's only one person on this podcast who has been to a Patriots game in person this year. And that's you, Mike. Yes, yes. So give me the prediction.
What are the backstories behind Ortiz's and Butler's iconic plays?
I mean, this team surprised me all year. The Patriots have surprised me all year. I honestly think it is going to be a very high-scoring game. Like, I'm talking, like, 35-32 type. Because Seattle's so explosive. Like, they're going to do something at some point where they go on a run, but I also think the Patriots have had enough time to prepare to, like, you know, put together their game plans and everything. Obviously, I'm taking my Patriots. 35-32? 35-32.
Well, Seattle can turn the ball over a little bit, too, which will help you guys, I think, right?
