| 0:00.0 | B-Pod Studios And now, I'm just trying to spell it out for the list. Felger and Mazz. S-T-O-O-O-P-I-D. T-E-P-I-D. P-O-B, boom. Isn't that, Bob? Felger and M-A. Q-U-I-T-K-K. Okay, thank you. No, spell up for me, too. |
| 0:21.8 | I'm an idiot. |
| 0:22.6 | 98-5, the Sports Hub. |
| 0:36.8 | Hour number three, Felger and Mass, here on the 1st of October. |
| 0:40.6 | Coming up on 403 in the afternoon. |
| 0:43.0 | Maz, you've been enjoying the baseball format here with the baseball playoffs? |
| 0:46.4 | Not really. |
| 0:49.2 | No, I've had a hard time with it. |
| 0:51.3 | And look, part of it is the fact that the Red Sox were such a suckbag stink bomb during the whole course of the year, that it was hard to invest in the sport overall. And I will say overall that I do like playoff baseball. Like, you know, I'm not, I'm not against it. But this new format, too, has a bit of an adjustment. These three-game series to start, I don't like it. I think it's great. I don't like the three gamers. I love it. I like the expanded playoffs, but I miss the one game playing. I'd rather have more playoffs in regular season, so I'll say that. Like if you give me the option of this or, you know, if you were to do this with 144 game schedule, I'm in. So the 16 game thing, I mean, the 16, so I look, I have some, |
| 1:33.0 | there's a couple different branches to this thought, |
| 1:36.4 | but the big picture overall thought, the 16 team tournament is kind of cool. |
| 1:43.0 | You ever look at the bracket? |
| 1:44.2 | You ever like just, here, just call MLB.com and just look at the bracket, okay? |
| 1:49.0 | The MLB postseason bracket. |
| 1:51.1 | You know, you've never looked at baseball like this before with that bracket. |
| 1:55.8 | It's kind of cool. |
| 1:57.3 | Like I said, it sort of does it for me. |
| 1:58.7 | And the fact that we've got all the games on and there's like four games at once, it's sort of like a little bit of the NCAA tournament thing or a MLB. It's good for gamblers. I would think that. I mean, you had what, five games going on or eight games or whatever the hell it was? It's just sort of cool. The one versus the eight, Dodgers versus the Brewers, Rayyes versus the J's, A's versus the White Soxes, the two seven. You know, like, I don't know. It's just I've never, you've never really approached baseball like that. I got to tell you, does it for me a little bit as a team that's in. I have a team that's in the tournament. It's kind of cool. And I kind of like it until I have to watch the game and then I'm out which is what I want to get to |
| 2:38.0 | which is a branch to this thought but like the 16 team tournament it kind of does it for me I don't |
| 2:44.0 | mind the expanded playoff field I told you something about the three gamer though that I don't like |
| 2:47.4 | I don't know what it is okay I'll tell you what it is it is absurd it's preposterous and I'll just use again the team that I don't like. I don't know what it is. Okay. I'll tell you what it is. It is absurd. It's preposterous. And I'll just use again, the team that I'm following, that the Brewers are on equal footing with the L.A. Dodgers in a two out of three series. The Brewers were, I think, 28 and 30 or something like this. They were two games under 500. And I think the Dodgers had the best record in baseball. 43 and 17. Okay. And there were 12 games apart. And so it's a straight up two out of three. We get hot for a couple of hours, have one pitcher, pitch out of his boobs. They get lucky at one at bat. And the next thing you know, we've gone past the, like that's absurd. |
| 3:27.0 | So if they want to like the one game playoff, don't you? I love the one game playoff, but those are wildcard teams. That's not the teams that are closer to one another. Right. That's not the, the wild card works for me because, well, win your division. and then you get to bitch to me or win more games. |
