Get me a freaking auto!

From the Quantum Fiber Studio, this is Brock and Salk on Seattle Sports. Brock Ewerd is my hero. James Buehner just punched me in the kidney. We're going to see you what I'm in the minute. That really worked that way, Sherm. This is a show that has my name on it. It's kind of tough. Now here are your hosts. Brock Ewerd and Mike Salk. Hello! Hello! Man, what a ball game last hosts, Brock Eward and Mike Salk. Hello.

Man, what a ball game last night, Brock.

What an unbelievable baseball game.

Those are the classics, man.

Those are the ones you remember for a long, long time.

18 innings at Dodger Stadium, six hours and 39 minutes playing deep into the night. It had it all, man. How late did you make? So you're an hour later. How late did you make it? 14th. That's pretty good. Yeah, 14th. I was like, can't do it. He just couldn't do it. Eyes getting heavy. Yeah, eyes getting heavy. Mom's lasagna, spaghetti. All of it. Yeah, all of it. So I had to just, yeah, go night night. Yeah, 18. 18. Oh, gosh. And Freddie finished it? Of course he did. That's what Freddy does. Yeah. Yeah. Before we get to that, how is your off day, sweetie feel you feel good you feel refreshed don't sweetie me no I don't because I stayed up until one o'clock last night I don't

feel refreshed at all no no not even a little not even a little bit no I was feeling refreshed

and then I got myself 74 on the golf course a beautiful day look at you it was a nice day it I got myself. I'm 74 on the golf course. A beautiful day.

Look at you. It was a nice day. It was a beautiful day. I enjoyed my day off. Thank you to everybody who tuned in didn't hear me and then texted me. So are you okay? Like, yeah, I've just taken a day off. I just, I got a little vacation time. despite what Daniel Jeremiah might think I've worked a lot of days this year and

thought it might be time for a day off. I just, I got a little vacation time. Despite what Daniel Jeremiah might think,

I've worked a lot of days this year and thought it might be time for a little off day after

So what is it now? 27 and 5? Is that, do I see that graphic right in like the third inning? They

put up a graphic of the teams at Out Home or the other team in this postseason in 2025.

Home runs important. Are now, I believe, honestly, I think it was 20s, I should have written it down or taken a picture, but I believe it was something like 26 and 5 heading into last night. And then obviously the damage Shohei does and then to ultimately finish it off with Freddie. Is it really just that simple? Just find a way to hit home runs. I don't think it's that simple. No. And I've hopefully never said that. But I do think home runs are really important.

And I do think they might be the most important thing offensively followed by walks and then

contact and all the other things I think come in. And I don't mean to, you know, keep harping back on this point.

I don't mean to make this like a war between contact and power.

Right.

I just, I know John Smoltz prefers contact.

He's made that pretty clear over the last few weeks.

I like contact.
