That's one of those where you go, I'm going to be watching SportsCenter in the morning and one of the great home runs of all time that I don't know how many people got to see Freddie Freeman go deep to win that game last night. All right, come on in. Stay a while. We'll dissect this. Kevin Millar of Major League Baseball Network was there. We'll let him sleep in for a little bit. He'll join us later.

So the Dodgers beat the Blue Jays on Freddie Freeman's home run in the 18th as they lead two games to one. Can we play what it sounded like? Marvin? Do we have the call on AM570? Little delivers Freeman. It's one high in the air straightaway, center field. Marshall at the wall. Gone. Freddie Freeman M freeze ends the marathon at midnight. Freddie Freeman is one of four players with multiple walk off home runs in the postseason. So David Ortiz, Bernie Williams and Carlos Correa. But Freddie is the only player in baseball history with multiple walk off home runs in the World Series. Shohei Otani, oh, by the way, had two home runs, two doubles. They also walked in five times, four intentionally. And that's one of those moments where, and we were talking about this earlier this morning. We're actually watching the greatest baseball player of all time. We're watching him in real time. It's happening right now. It's not one of those, hey, you should have seen that guy play. He's the greatest baseball player of all time. Babe Ruth did something, but he didn't do it together. He didn't do a combination. That doesn't mean he couldn't have done it, but he didn't do it. He was a great pitcher, best pitcher in the game and then all of a sudden decided to be the greatest hitter. Shohei Ohtani, with what he. And he pitches tonight. So you're going to have that performance where you walk in four times. And I talked about this when the series started. If you don't have left handed pitching against the Dodgers, you're in trouble because you don't have, you got Freddie Freeman and Shohei Otani and if you don't have somebody that you can bring in and go, I can get that guy out. They've gotten to the point where he's getting Bonds treatment. And I want you to pitch in shame, if you're going to intentionally walk him, I want you to throw the four pitches that look silly because you don't want to face him. I don't want it to be, hey, we're going to walk him and I point him to first base. Nope. I want you to pitch and shame, I want you to acknowledge that you can't get him out and you throw those four pitches. But I mean, one of the home runs, I went, oh, what are we doing? What do you, how could you possibly put it anywhere near that? And they did. And I'm Thinking, oh, my goodness. So Ohtani made him pay. Freddie Freeman made him pay. There was one nervous moment there when Clayton Kershaw was in with the bases loaded. Oh, I just was like, just, just get the out, go sit down, don't pitch anymore. And maybe you win the World Series. But they would cut away to his wife. Oh, you talk about the, the ebb and flow, the highs and lows, and you rarely think about when you're the family, is there watching this? Oh, just get off the mound. That's all I could think of. But watching that last night, or at least as long as I could, you're watching the best player in baseball history. Now, I know people are going to say, well, what about Babe Ruth? Babe was a better hitter. But what he is doing at the same time. And imagine, just imagine if he goes out there tonight and pitches five or six innings, quality baseball, and everybody emptied their bullpen like, this is one of those losses. That's not just one loss. You used your bullpen, you realize you can't pitch to Ohtani, and all of a sudden you're going to face him on the mound. That was, that was monumental, I think, last night. But up two games to one, I know it's only one game. All it takes is, you know, a couple of breaks going your way. But that one, that one's stinging. And you got to turn around and go back out there and play again tonight, and then the next game is on Wednesday. So these pitching staffs are really going to be taxed. But that's where if you get Yamamoto, who gives you a complete game, if Ohtani can give you five or six innings here, you have an incredible advantage here. All right, Seaton, let's pull question for hour one. Yeah. You know, when you look at his at bats last night, Shohei Ohtani, he had a double, a home run, a double, a home run. He was then intentionally walked four straight times and then walked a fifth time. That's a hell of a night. Yeah. When you're talking about, Let me see. So he walked five times, four intentionally, reach base nine times. Nine times in the game. The only player to be walked intentionally four times in a postseason game since they started tracking this in 1955. It's funny, Paul was just saying, if you took that, that series of at bats from Shohei Ohtani just from last night, that's good enough to win a World Series. MVP for the whole Series, the week, the whole thing. If you had two doubles and two home runs, well, he won the National League the NLCS MVP based off one game. And he might win this mvp, you know, based off one game. All right, we'll get to your phone calls coming up. What was the poll question, Seaton? Well, we could start with intentional walks since you got there. Right there. Intentional walks are super smart or super lame. Oh, no, I get it. I. But I want you to pitch in shame that you can't get that guy out. I want you to acknowledge with four pitches out of the strike zone that I can't get him. You need to be humiliated that way. I'm all for speeding the game up. I really am. But I'm not for just. We choose to put him up for no. Throw the four pitches in shame. Throw them. Yes. Either that or you. You must walk up to the hitter and escort him to first base. Like, you know, you're going out there for homecoming and on the football field, and you must have him hold your arm and you escort him to first base. We must shame you. Yes, you must be shamed. We must shame you. All right, we'll get to phone calls coming up. There was football last night, and you probably saw why Patrick Mahomes is the leading candidate for the mvp. Now you see the Chiefs full strength for the most part. Now, granted, you didn't have Jaden Daniels, that would have made, obviously, a little bit more of a impact, but you have Rasheed Rice there, and that's a big difference. So you get Xavier Worthy and Rasheed Rice. Now all of a sudden, you got to deal with, you know, speed. Jason Kelsey doesn't have to do much. His role is Travis Kelsey. His role is more of, like, Gronk late in his Patriots career, where Brady only wanted him there for the postseason and in the red zone, that's it. And maybe that's what you get out of Travis Kelce. But watching last night, he did have a touchdown. But that's not what their offense is really predicated on. It's still, I got guys that I can make plays with now, and Mahomes was great. He was. He's great. He keeps plays alive. And it. And it's one of those. You see these younger players trying to do that. They're just not as well equipped as Mahomes is. You can keep it alive. And then you have to all of a sudden say, all right, I'm going to call this off, or I might throw it away. I might run for a little bit. He's not scrambling. He's just keeping it alive. And I think there's a big. And I Want to talk to Steve Young about that next hour. Keeping a play alive, but also not scrambling around and trying to hold the ball for five or six seconds. That's when you get in trouble. That's when you take sacks. But watching Mahomes, and I know it's not the same thing as Ohtani, but you are watching something incredibly special. He's not going to be the greatest quarterback of all time unless he wins more Super Bowls than Brady or is equal to Brady. It's kind of what we did to LeBron. You know, he's not passing Michael, therefore, he's not going to be greater in people's minds. But you're watching Mahomes play a position, the toughest position in all the sports to play and playing it differently than anybody else in the league. And he is the one great. He is Mariana Rivera when it comes to quarterbacking and closing out a game, keeping a play alive, all of those great things. Now, has he been roughed up, embarrassed in a couple of Super Bowls? He has. But when you see him play at a very high level, it's a treat, because I can go back to seeing Joe Namath play. Johnny Unit is late in his career, all of those quarterbacks, Bart Starr, you know, guys in the 60s. And to see the transformation of the quarterbacking position, to watch the evolution of that, it's great. And I got into this business because I loved watching it, covering it, being around it. And to watch Ohtani last night, to watch Patrick Mahomes last night, what a treat. An absolute treat. All right, so we'll have phone calls coming up. The football game last night, not a lot to recap with that, but the Chiefs are now five and three. And the commanders, you know, you start to look and you go, okay, we can't afford too many of those losses. Now, that's a loss that we expected, even with Jaden Daniels. But you get to the halfway point. Trade deadline. I think the Bills are going to be involved in the trade deadline. I think Dallas is going to try to be. There's a couple of teams that are buying. I'm not sure who's selling. That'll be interesting as well. All right, let me see. Anything else that needs to be brought up? Yes, Paul, I was thinking about Mahomes, his stats. The past couple years, his stats have been different than his first five years. His first five years as a starter, he averaged 310 passing yards per game. The past three years, he's averaging 260 passing yards per game. His quarterback rating is the Same. His efficiency is completion. You just remove Tyree kill. They don't have the deep threat or they don't try to go deep as much but you know, it's less spectacular but it's just as efficient. But he changed defenses because they decided they weren't going to give up the big play. They were going to play, you know, a shell kind of defense that won't let you get those big plays. Each of Kansas City's five wins this season have been by 13 or more points. Last year they won a total of three games by three, 13 or more. So it's just a different Kansas City team. But that's kind of the beauty of Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes. How are we going to beat you? Okay, we're, we're going to be explosive to. Then all of a sudden we're just going to be methodical to them. We're going to be a defense and run first team to. Now we're back to being explosive with those receivers. But the average margin of victory in week eight was 18 and a half points. That's the most we've had since 2021 and the fourth largest of any NFL week since 2000. Stat of the day brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the Dan Patrick show. Andrew in Washington leads us off. Hi Andrew. Good morning, Dan Dennett. Thanks for taking my call. That was an epic game here on the west coast last night. I was up until 11:50pm watching it. It was like a whole baseball game even after Monday Night Football ended, which was just epic. My question is this like you've talked about Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman being the only major League baseball player ever with two World Series walk off home runs. That's amazing in itself. But what's a more important home run to Dodger history? Kurt Gibson's home run or Freddie Freeman's home run last night? Oh, Gibson. Yeah, because Gibby's, I mean he's going against Eckersley, one of the great closers of all time. You're a big underdog and all of a sudden you set, you set the tone for the. It won the World Series. It wasn't a walk off, it was game one. But he, he limped up there. I think it was.02. And you know, all of a sudden Eckersley is going to throw that backdoor slider and Gibby's going down. But now that, that to me was more important because the Dodgers weren't favored. These, this Dodger team has been, they've Been big favorites here. And that Dodger team did not have the firepower against the Oakland is. Didn't compare. You had Oral Hershiser and you had a group of players that kind of somehow figured it out, the sum of the parts. But I would say Gibby. Gibby's will live in infamy. I mean, that. That one's. And it's a great call as well. I don't believe what I just saw. Like, oh, my God, awesome. And by the way, Gibby. Gibby is suffering with Parkinson's. And I talked to David Wells when we were in Tahoe, and I waited until some of this information got public. So I'm not speaking out of turn, but did talk to him, and he goes hunting with Gibby. They own a hunting lodge, I think, in Michigan. And, you know, he says that he's struggling, but he's still Gibby. He's still competitive. He's still. You still see that fire in him, but he's. He's. He's been struggling. So David went into detail, talked a lot about Gibby, and he did say, you know, that. Don't say anything about this. I did appreciate him sharing with me because, like, I always had that great appreciation. I go back to Gibby when he was at Michigan State as a wide receiver, and I remember, yeah, Paul, there's a bit of a comparison. Apples and oranges. Kirk Gibson and Freddie Freeman. Kirk Gibson was a great player for Detroit for a decade, I think, before he got to the Dodgers. And then when he got to the Dodgers mvp, the World Series, I bet there's people who just associate him as a Dodger because that's his biggest moments. Freddie Freeman made four or five all star teams, probably five all star teams with Atlanta. But then he's. Now he's on this bigger stage with the Dodgers and doing World Series stuff. Twenty years from now, you'll be like, oh, that great Dodger player, Freddie Freeman, he also played a little bit with the Braves 10 years. And go back to Ohtani, where people are going to forget that he played for the Angels and he won two MVPs there, but he never got these opportunities. You want to cement yourself in history, do it on the biggest stage, do it in the postseason. And that's why Mike Trout never got that opportunity. And Mike Trout will be one of those guys where people go, how many MVPs? How many world Series? How many? What did he do in the postseason? It may not be fair because it's only one player, but, you know, we said for years the Angels should have traded Mike Trout. And you know, he, he was a great soldier. I don't think he ever asked out, granted, and he's getting paid $400 million. But Ohtani knew that he needed to be on a bigger stage. He knew greatness and that's what you're seeing. Yeah. Marvin, is Freddie Freeman going to be in the same category as maybe like a David Ortiz where the postseason heroics put you in the hall of Fame along with the great regular season, All Star games and things like that? I'd have to look at his numbers. He's got an mvp, I think. Yeah. Yeah. Let's take a break. We'll take a break and look at that. Just getting started. More phone calls. 877-3DP show operator Tyler sitting by. We'll take a break. We're back after this Dan Patrick Show.

That's jlab.com all right. Looking at Freddie Freeman's career, I'd say he's on the doorstep of being a Hall of Famer. If you have 2400 hits, got.300 and just under.370. As far as home runs, let's say he ends up with 400 home runs. You end up with. How old is he? He's 35 years old. Okay. Five All Star appearances with Atlanta, four straight in four years with the Dodgers, he's got an MVP. He's got a.300 batting average for his career. The postseason is a big boost. Yeah, Yeah. I think it's a walk in. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Marvin. I think long gone are the days of, I need to hit this number and I'll get into the hall of Fame. I think it's, were you at the peak of your career? Like, how good were you at your peak? Well, I think having the World Series MVP helps a lot. And having big moments in the World Series. I do think that we like round numbers. Yeah, it's like Dale Murphy had 398 home runs. Barry Sanders, I think, had 99 touchdown. Like, we like to get round numbers here. They're just easier to remember. Yes, Marvin. Yeah, but that's important if you don't have any postseason success. Yeah. Like, I don't know how many homers David Ortiz has, but I know in the biggest moments in the play in the postseason, he came up big. Yeah. Gold Glove winner as well, had one of those. So, yeah, he's probably going to be an MVP or probably going to be a Hall of Famer. Yep. Paulie, if Freddie Freeman weren't batting behind two spots behind Babe Ruth, you'd probably win another World Series mvp. You know, Yamamoto and Ohtani are going to be, you know, one and two for the World Series mvp. And Freeman got the home run. Yeah, it's one of those that we're going to remember his home run, and we might actually forget that a guy got on base nine times, intentionally walked four times. He had two home runs as well. And it was, hey, remember the Freddie Freeman walk off home run in 18 innings? Yes. Todd, how many World Series do you have to win as a starter if you didn't necessarily do anything that huge in the World Series or in the postseason? Like, we owe the quarterback. Once they say two Super Bowls, we're putting them in the hall of Fame. So how does that work in baseball? Like, five, six, eight? What would be. Is there any way of calculating that if you like the way you do with a quarterback in the NFL? No, no, because I, you know, even when you look at voters, I don't know if anybody brings up Ted Williams not winning World Series, Barry Bond's not winning World Series. It's so it. But their greatness, they didn't need that. They were that great. But I think some players, when you do have that, that can put you over the edge, that, that can put you right on the doorstep of the hall of Fame. But I, with what Freddie Freeman has done with two different teams, being an All Star that many times a World Series mvp, winning a couple of World Series and having a couple of big moments, having numbers. I, I still think you have to have like a ballpark number. Now. It's not 500 home runs. I think if you have 400 and you're going to have 400 home runs and you're going to have 27, 2600 hits, and you have his resume, then you're going to go into the hall of Fame. Yeah. Paul, Freddie Freeman also has seven career home runs in the World Series. That puts him tied for 10th all time. And most of the guys ahead of him played at least 50 years ago. You know, Mantle, Ruth Barra, Lou Gehrig, even Reggie Jackson has 10. But Freddie Freeman's done it in only 64 plate appearances. He is the highest World Series home run ratio. Chris in Syracuse. Hi, Chris. Good morning. What's on your mind? Hey, thanks, Dan. Here. I want to comment on the baseball and also, you know, the NBA's gambling report last week. I think that will definitely have an impact on the severity of the Ravens upcoming punishment for their injury report. Misstep and interesting in the baseball. Freddie Freeman, born in Canada and played for the Canadian national team. And after last night's game and with Shohei pitching tonight, man, the ratings are going to be unbelievable. And I believe this postseason Shohei had a stretch where he was 1 for 21 from the plate, but with the way he's hitting now, and last night the Jays walked him five times and that resulted in zero Dodger runs. You wonder if for this game and maybe for the rest of the series, they're going to walk him every time. And I'm sure that the MLB and the networks are dreading that possibility. And not just for tonight, but long term. Because some of us in the, including me, we tune in to watch him. He's kind of like the Caitlin Clark of baseball. Yeah, I agree with you. You want to see great players have the opportunity to be great. And that was always disappointing when Bonds would come to the plate and they just put him on. You know, when you're walking him intentionally and he walks over 200 times in a season, it's just bad optics entertainment. You want to see Ohtani swing the bat, but there's one. He had a home run last night on a pitch. And I'm thinking in, in a, in a million years, going over the scouting report, don't put it, don't put the ball there out over the plate. Don't let him extend now. He's going to beat you. He can go opposite. He can go dead center. He can go, obviously, you know, take it to right field. I'm just amazed. Sometimes the pitches that Judge and Ohtani get, where you just go, how could you possibly come even close to that location? I'm going to make you chase something. And if I don't, then I blocked you. But I can't go up there and go, I'm going to pitch to you and then give you a pitch where you go, like Scherzer's pitch to him was up. You know, it didn't have the. If you're throwing 99 there, then, okay, maybe you get him to pop it up. But if you're going to throw that inside to him and it doesn't have movement or it doesn't have velocity. At 99, he's going to take you deep. But the other one out over the plate, I went, oh, my goodness, you deserve to be, you know, watching him circle the bases. Buddha in San Francisco. Hi, Buddha. What up, dp? That was exhausting. But every day is the World Series, so let's go, Fritzy. Dan. I found myself a little Dodgers bar in the heart of San Francisco and spent all six and a half hours screaming and watching the midnight marathon. And I'm calling in today, Dan, to celebrate and Praise William Klein Jr. The third. Truly a Hollywood storyline. I mean, that dude was so nasty. Dan, like, he wasn't wasting any time either. It seemed like as soon as he caught the ball from Will Smith, he was, like, already winding up. It was riveting. And like, no matter what happens in the series, he will never pay for a beer in LA again. I also want to give a special shout out, Dan. To the Atlanta Braves for letting Freddie freaking Freeman walk and become a Dodgers postseason legend. And Dan, I have one question before I go for all of you in the studio. I want to know exactly who was up and got to see Freddy's walk off live. Nobody. Nobody? Hell no. I think maybe the 10th inning, that's where we. That's where you were like, hey, could we have a runner start the 10th inning? Oh, that's right. We don't do that in the postseason now. It was great. You know, that's playoff baseball tension, matchups and big, big time plays. Big time plays. Adam in LA. Hi, Adam. What's on your mind? Good morning, Mr. Patrick. I don't know how I'm going to get through work today except my, my adrenaline is going to carry me through. I'm just. There's so many layers to go through. That game last night with you said Clayton Kershaw's wife getting to see him going with the bases loaded. I mean, all the Dodger fans are just cringing like, no, not again. Hopefully this doesn't end bad. You know, I know you've seen it a million times, so just like, you wanted the best for that guy. And like, like Buddha just said Joe Klein and you got Henriquez and all these unsung heroes. So many great plays in the field by Tommy Edmond and great throws by. I mean, there's just so many layers. And then you get to show his game and you get to four intentional walks, which is a little start of the day. One less than Andre Dawson record for five intentional walks back on May 22, 1990. There you go, Paulie. But again, then Freddie Freeman again. Thanks Atlanta Braves, what a gift. But yeah, just, just an amazing day to be a Dodgers fan. Hopefully we can carry it through to get another world championship. And yeah, just a. Just amazing feeling and hopefully I don't policy but my death today. Yeah, if you're the Dodgers, you can thank the Red Sox, you can thank the Atlanta Braves, you can thank the Angels for helping you bring together this great lineup that you have. Dave in Arkansas. Good morning, Dave. I don't know if I want to be called Pittsburgh Dave. You know, first off, prayers up for Jamaica. What's about to happen down there with the Hurricane is off the charts. But I was so embarrassed Sunday night watching that football game. Not so much for the play. I mean, it was getting bad. I understood that. I was making dinner, I'm watching football. But to hear, go Pack, go take over. I'm still going to call it Hines Field, but take over that stadium. I was so embarrassed. That does not happen. We travel, we go to all the other stadiums, we take over other towns. I could not believe what I was hearing. And I do have a question about what do you think they should do with the trade deadline? It seems like they need defensive help, but they don't have any offensive help to give away. And if they try to get offensive help, I don't know if anybody wants, I mean, outside of TJ Watt, you can say that, but that's just not going to happen. But what do they do? I don't know. You spent your money, DK Metcalf. You wanted to improve that offensive line since you had a 40 year old as your quarterback. We thought the defense was going to be formidable. That's been kind of the surprising part for me. John in Minnesota. Hi, John. Hey, Dan, I had a question. Where does Ohtani's contract rank as far as like roi, right? I mean him, it's got to be him and Mahomes and then nobody else. Well, I think Mahomes is one of the greatest bargains in sports contract history because at the time I, I remember, I remember that day and people were like, can you believe they gave him a half a billion dollars? I said, it's going to be a bargain. That guy will be a bargain. And he is a bargain. Now, it took a little while, but you saw what the return on your investment is with Ohtani. And I saw something where somebody said the Dodgers have already gotten their return on that contract, the ROI return on investment. I mean, that's, that's a lot of money. But if you're talking about what he does here in Japan, I don't know how you're able to look at that and go, okay, we can break this down and we know exactly what we they paid and what, what their return is. I don't know what that return is, what that return looks like. You know, you still have a great fan base. It's not like you're going to bring people out and it's the Marlins, you know, it's the Dodgers, they're going to come out, you know, local TV ratings revenue that way. Also, what this means in, in Japan, what this could mean for a pipeline, I mean, Yamamoto came over so he could with Shohei Ohtani and look at his value here. So maybe you get that Japanese pipeline where these players are going to want to come over and since there's no salary cap, they're going to want to play with Ohtani. Yeah. Paulie Ohtani has one of the more unique contracts in baseball history. This year he's going to make $2 million. That's like an NFL running back. He is going to make $2 million per season the next seven seasons. Then when he turns 39, he makes $68 million per year. Basically, after his career is over, for the next nine years, it's all deferred, which makes it that Sports Business Journal article. You're talking about all the money they, Ohtani, they owe Ohtani, the Dodgers hold. So they're earning interest on it. They're not paying him yet. They're holding it. And it gets to him way at a later date. Yeah, because he has so much money coming in from endorsements off the field that the two million dollar salary, he's fine with that. And the Dodgers created a business model here that maybe I don't know if the Mets did this with Soto, but if you get somebody to take deferred money and if I'm a fan and I'm like, this isn't. We're paying Bobby Bonilla. If you're a Mets fan for that contract, you're going to be like, hey, we, we're paying Shohei Otani $68 million and he's retired. If you're a Dodger fan, you got that kind of money, you got that financial backing, you don't care, doesn't bother, it doesn't hurt your team. When he's retired, it's not like, oh, we got a dead cap hit or something. It's we're paying this guy, you know, we gave him a golden parachute, but he's got a lot more baseball left to be played. All right, we'll take a break. Play of the day. Go figure. What do you think that'll be? Is up next. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation.

Hey, I'm Kalpen and on my new podcast, Here We Go Again, we'll take today's trends and headlines and ask, why does history keep repeating itself? You may know me as the second hottest actor from the Harold and Kumar movies. But I'm also an author, a White House staffer, and as of like 15 seconds ago, a podcast host. Along the way, I've made some friends who are experts in science, politics and pop culture. And each week one of them will be joining me to answer my burning questions. Like are we heading towards another financial crash? Like in 08? Is non monogamy back in style? And how come there's never a gate ready for your flight when it lands like two minutes early? We've got guests like Pete Buttigieg, Stacey Abrams, Lilly Singh, and Bill Nye. When you start weaponizing outer space, things can potentially go really wrong. Look, the world can seem pretty scary right now, because it is. But my goal here is for you to listen and feel a little better about the future.

This is the play of the day. Check this out. Little delivers Freeman. It's one high in the year Straightaway. Center Field Marshall at the wall. Gone Freddy Freeman. Mr. World Series ends the marathon at midnight. That's courtesy of AM57ALA Sports Dodgers Radio Network. When you're known as Mr. World Series, that's a good nickname to have. Like Mr. October. Mr. World Series. The only player with multiple walk off home runs in the World Series. That is your play of the day. By the way, could we have The Toronto Blue Jays call of Freddie Freeman's walk off home run, high fly to center, Marshall back, game over. Freddy Freeman walks it off with a home home run to straightaway center field. The Dodgers win it and they take a 2 to 1 lead in the World Series. Is that Dan Schulman with the call? Work with him. I, I think it's Dan. What a professional, though. Great broadcaster. And that was a good call. But you could tell both announcers are kind of fooled because of the height of the, the, the poll. Like it's drifting, you know, it's back, it's high fly, and then all of a sudden you see it and it's starting to carry and then it's gone. The play of the day brought to you by Mako.

Let's see. Frank in LA. Hi, Frank. How you feeling today, man? My voice is shot, but I feel great. What a W, man. The fans were just willing the team to get to the finish line. Everybody was trying to get up. I literally, I'm on two hours of sleep. I'm en route to lax. I got to take a flight to Philly, but I'm so jacked up. I feel like I took a shot of Red Bull or. It was phenomenal feeling. Dodgers gonna close this out at home. It was just it. The fans were kind of getting frustrated with Ohtani getting walked so much, but what a performance. Nine times on base, man. Dodgers love them. Thank you, Frank. Safe travels. Aiden in Utah. Hi, Aiden, welcome back. Yeah, Dan, good morning. How are you? Good, good. Listen, Yeah, I don't normally watch baseball. You know, I've been to a few regular season games. They're really fun to watch in person. But every October comes around play. MLB Playoffs is one of the most exciting things to watch, but last night reminded me why I don't watch baseball. Eleven straight scoreless innings and I'm sitting there at 1:30 in the morning. Beyonce's asleep. I'm out on the couch watching it. I mean, what am I doing right now? And then it's reminding me, oh, wait, I don't watch baseball. I don't care. I'm going to sleep. All right. I love extra inning postseason baseball. I think it's great. It's not equal to playoff hockey because that. There's no sport better than that when it comes to the playoffs with tension. Game on the line and all it takes is one, one shot. That's it, Matt and Salt Lake. Hey, Matt, what's on your mind? Hey, thanks for taking my call, Dan. First time, very, very long time. Appreciate the show. I think the unsung hero of last night's game was the organ player. I don't think the organization has a bullpen for the organ player, but the organ player was on point all night long. And then as the innings started, drifted together, I think there was a call that was being questioned. He brought out the song Never Ending Story because of how long the game was going. And I just, I. At that late at night, I just started laughing. It was a great moment. All right, well, thank you, Matt. I don't know if anybody's going to give the organist credit. Yes, Paul. The organist for the LA Dodgers is Dieter Rule, who has been on the Dan Patrick show just like a year, year and a half ago. Dieter Rule. But didn't he get in trouble? Yeah, that was. He's snarky. Burning down the house he played. And there was a fire that was outside of Chavez Ravine. I believe he's. Yeah, car was on fire. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, he's good. Yeah, he played Burning down the House, Matt. You know, I think. I think an organist has been thrown from a game before. I think it might have been in Chicago. Yeah, it was a Cubs organist playing Three Blind Mice. Yes. And they. I think. I think the umpire ran him. Some guys who don't appreciate that. Matt in Ohio. Hi, Matt. What's on your mind? Hey, guys, good to talk to you again. I just had a comment and a question for you. First off, that's the first time I heard that Schulman call. If you play it again, it sounds like he almost wants to say, Freddy, there's a pause. Effing. Yes. Another. Another F word. And then Freeman. Yeah, but that's. Yeah, that sounded like that, but he didn't. He held off. And the question I have for you is off topic with the reemergence of like the running game in the NFL. Dan, when do you think it came down to a certain player or when do you think that kind of started the whole reemergence? And was it Saquon? Was it a something before that? Was it Derek Henry? But well, well, I'm going to take a victory lap on this because I'd been saying for Years when everybody was passing that somebody was eventually going to start running. Because the players on the defense and the defensive line, they weren't built to stop the run. You wanted everybody to be quick. You wanted to have edge rushers, get to the quarterback. You had to put pressure on the quarterback. And I said, at some point somebody's going to go, why don't we just get good offensive line, we got a running back and we're going to run right at these defenses. And that's what's happened. Derek Henry, Saquon Barkley McCaffrey is more of a, you know, a Swiss army knife. But you're starting to see more and more teams. You had a couple of teams that ran for over 200 yards. I think three teams ran for over 200 yards this weekend. But it's. Your defenses are built differently. You don't have that run stopper. I mean, the Cowboys of course do, but you don't have that run stopper. And I think as a result, you're seeing, you know, the Chiefs did this with Pacheco. They were running the ball, playing defense with Patrick Mahomes as your quarterback. Yeah, Paulie. In 2016, NFL teams ran for 108 yards per game. That was the lowest since, I mean, basically ever, really ever. And last year was up to 120 yards per game. Yeah, quite a bit up. And I still look for baseball to get a pitching park. And you have, you invest in your pitching and you do speed and defense like the Cardinals did back in the 80s. Somebody might do that because you're playing half your games at home, which will be a pitcher's park. You play defense and you run. I know the analytics will probably say, what are you doing? Just like the analytics probably said in the NFL, what are you doing running everybody's. It's like the three point shot was the forward pass in the NFL. And now all of a sudden we're getting back to taking, you know, two point jumpers. Yes, Todd, you can create a park to match your roster, but with all the turnover, it's not like yesteryear where players would be on the same team 10, 15 years. So you do run the risk of all of a sudden a couple years, you're not that team that's speedy with the great, the pitching. And now you just kind of screwed yourself with a ball. It doesn't fit you. You're still building your team based off that kind of player. That's who you're drafting. You're drafting pitching, you're drafting speed. They. They basically said that base is there to steal. They even let you wear these gloves that are a little bit larger. I don't know why baseball allows this, but these sliding gloves, I you're probably getting a couple extra inches there as you're sliding in. The bases are bigger much Baseball say, we're gonna measure your mittens that you're wearing now. Steve Young, the Hall of Famer, will join us.
