I'm fortunate. That is the nothing personal word of the day. We start every podcast with it.

0:12.0

I'll say it one more time for y'all. Unfortunate. Why is that the word? Well, let's talk about Andy Dalton.

0:19.4

Andy Dalton, the long time quarterback of the Cincinnati Bengals. Yes, he of no rings said it is unfortunate the situation I'm in.

0:27.8

It's an unfortunate situation. He said it's an unfortunate thing. He's talking about being benched on his birthday.

0:35.5

And he said it's further unfortunate that he did not have time to help his agent and have his agent get him traded when he was benched three hours before the deadline.

0:45.4

Well, listen, Andy. I've got a quick message for you. If you were a better player, then you would not have been benched.

0:51.4

And then your agent, it wouldn't have to find a trade partner for you. And it's not my job to find you a team to go to.

0:58.2

So the unfortunate thing is that you simply were not a better player.

1:03.0

I can only tell you how excited I was to watch a game seven of the World Series. It's you just you spend all day, right?

1:09.6

You're an anticipation of it and you're thinking to yourself, what could possibly happen? What history is going to unfold?

1:17.4

And you know that every game and I was a part of over 18 years, I never calculated a number of games, thousands of games.

1:24.6

And every one of them takes on its own life. And you plan for everything. You plan for every possible contingency.

1:31.9

But there are certain things that happen that you just don't know when they're going to happen, how they're going to happen and what it's actually going to mean.

1:40.3

So last night game seven, everyone's talking about sure.

1:43.0

So the Ace going against Frankie, the huge trade line acquisition for the Houston Astros, the dynasty that is the Houston Astros against the upstart Washington Nationals.

1:53.5

Their first World Series since 1933 looking for their first victory in 95 years. Ryan Zimmerman and his situation is the first ever player drafted by the Nationals.

2:05.8

Zach, he comes out and starts the game and wouldn't you know it? He had basically his best start as an Astro when he got traded there as we said on July 31st.

2:16.7

So there's a game plan that's in place in my opinion, the Astros, there are a very analytic team.

2:22.4

And we're going to go through a very different layers of how they plan this game and where they went wrong and why they have no second ring in three years.

2:30.8

Zach, he's having the game of his life. I'm tweeting out that Zach, he is reminded me of Josh Beckett who pitched a, a, a shut out, a two nothing shut out in game six to win the World Series.

2:44.0

That's how good Zach, he's looking. He gets into the seventh inning. He throws a change up. Now Zach, Renke's change up admittedly is only one or two miles an hour different than his fastball.

2:55.6

Ideally, you want your fastball and change up to have about an eight or nine mile an hour difference.
