Hello and welcome to Talkin' Baseball. We're doing some strengths and weaknesses of the playoff teams in a special interview. John Boy, myself, Rob Lowe. Let's talk ball. Let's talk ball. Hideo Nomo.
Alex Bregman, because he's a dog and
going to play. Nomo struck him out, though. Hello and welcome to Talkin' Baseball presented by Fanatic Sports and Casino. If you're locking in your baseball bets, Fanatic Sports and Casino is the place to do it. Winning hits different here. I am Jake Ribbit Storielli. That is Trevor Ribby. Ploof. Power is power. Happy Frog Week to everyone who celebrates and happy final week of the baseball season. The final midweek episode. Wow. That'll sting ya. That'll sting you at the end of September. Trevor Plouffe, coming live from the West Coast. How are you?
I thought about doing the entire episode like this, a little blind frog yet, but I don't think I got
it, Coach.
This is actually freaking me out a lot right now, so I'm going to take it down.
You're a sneaky info guy.
I need to see.
You got numbers in a laptop over there, I think. It's been a minute.
I got a lot of stuff. My screen right now is wild because I searched our preseason rankings and I went to images and like there is just... A lot of stuff. We do a lot. We put out a lot of content.
That's why
we're the best show ever invented.
Number one. Part of that is Rob Scirocco producing Dalton Feely. Getting us some stats and info ready for this episode. And I do have a name drop to start the episode. Well, with Rob Lowe coming on later. I got a DM from a player last night. A DM from a player I didn't follow. I now do. Nolan Arenado. No. I mean, arguably the best to ever do it at his position. Yeah, he just said, what did he say? Thanks for the love? Something short and sweet like that, because that's how I operate. Thanks, bro, for the shout out. So, I don't know. Just a couple third basemen, me and Nolan.
When were you even talking about Nolan?
I mean, I talk about him everywhere I go. Talking baseball, talking Yanks, waking Jake. I talk about Nolan everywhere. Amazing second half.
I mean, he's great. We love Nolan Arenado. Didn't expect that. That's not who I thought you were going
to say. Not a
salty vet like that.
Him and Brooks Robinson might be my 1A, 1B video game third baseman.
I like
leather over there,
Trev. Look, I love Brooks Robinson. What do you know about Brooks Robinson?
I know that glove plate. You've seen one play. You've seen one play. Me and him had the same nickname, the human vacuum cleaner, you know?
Who's my third baseman? My guy at third base.
You have a guy. I don't know if he's your –
I think Adrian Beltre might be my
guy. That sneaks out every now and then that you're like, Ooh, Beltre. No Longo.
What are the key strengths and weaknesses of the AL East teams?
I don't know.
I love Longo. I actually still consider Longo a shortstop. That's
what
I think of him. Shortstop playing third.
Let's talk about some of the playoff teams from this year. Um, It's time, Trev. I mean, there's only... There's one maybe on the board in the National League. Well, unless Dalts snakes sweep, Nolan snakes. Fuck. And the Padres lose out, which they've just been winning every game, basically. The NL is set. The AL has one team that'll be left in or left out of the dance from the American League West. I think we do some AL first. And basically, we can start in the AL East because it's also one part of the bracket. So... Uh, we're, we're going to have some info for you guys. We'll talk about, uh, what it means, what it doesn't mean, or, or the ones that jump out to us. So, uh, in the AL and in the AL East, which again, the Yankees are probably 99% going to play the Red Sox.
And the winner of that is going to go face Tampa, uh, Tampa, who's won the division. Trev, it is fun to see some of these numbers because as many times as you and I have hopped in front of the mics and like, dude, this Rays team and the bottom of the lineup's pesky. You know what I like? And it worked pretty well for last year's AL team. 1,085 strikeouts as a lineup. So hitting, that is an MLB low strikeout slash the best in Major League Baseball.
