Summary

Today's word of the day is 'tuchus'. Let's discuss everything you need to know about Game 6 of the World Series (:15). I'll start with Verlander succumbing to his 1st inning demons (1:40) and I end with a full breakdown of that 7th inning mishap (9:10). Baker Mayfield did everything we say is wrong when it comes to dealing with the media (14:00). Jamal Adams decided to call out his GM on Twitter for whatever reason (18:50). Bud Light gave a man an extra 15 minutes of fame and I love it. Review of the day is 'Mad Max 2 - The Road Warrior'. Game 7 is tonight and an unsung hero will win this game, or maybe it's the pitching, or maybe it's both #waittosee To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	Tuchas, Tuchas, that slang for butt or rear end, that's the nothing personal word of
0:15.4	the day. Why? Because that is exactly where Alex Breggman and Juan Soto in the days of
0:22.7	your would have gotten hit after carrying the bat in game six of the World Series after
0:28.6	they hit a home run. Yes, they actually took a swing, hit a home run and carried the bat
0:34.2	all the way to the first base coach. We're going to talk much more about it and what didn't
0:39.3	happen, who apologized, who didn't. But my solution is that when I was in baseball, no doubt
0:46.4	about it. There would have been a pitch into the Tuchas. What's changed in baseball? Why is
0:53.0	it okay to actually pimp a home run the way players do? Because it's entertainment, it's fine.
1:00.2	No need to apologize for any of it. But let's actually talk about why it happens that two players
1:06.4	treat the same situation so differently. Game six of the World Series was one of the most memorable
1:13.8	game sixes. I was trying to think back. Obviously 2003, game six was my number one game six in history
1:21.0	when Josh Beckett beat the New York Yankees. He pitched in a complete game shut out. And I was
1:26.0	thinking while watching the game that the days of complete games, where are they? How can we expect
1:33.6	a pitcher Straussburg? Can he actually go nine innings for the Washington Nationals? Can Justin
1:39.2	Verlander do what he hasn't done for the Houston Astros when you have a chance to get your second
1:45.8	ring in three years? And you're the ace of a staff. You've got to do better than what Verlander
1:52.0	did. Everyone talks about him that he's the guy, the co ace, maybe the siong award winner,
1:58.2	then explain to me how it's possible that he goes 93 pitches and he doesn't give you any length.
2:06.4	15 outs. That's all Verlander did. It's becoming a thing. He cannot win in the World Series. He's
2:14.6	actually historic in his inability to win. Yet for whatever reason, we thought it would be different.
2:21.5	We thought last night would be the opportunity for him to exercise his demons and to allow the
2:27.4	Astros to do it. But he actually did the opposite and he did not listen to my advice. I yelled it
