00:00A lot of different variables going into these winner-take-all games here in the wild card round.
00:06The one thing we know is that, well, it wasn't played at 2 o'clock in the afternoon,
00:10which is a good thing here.
00:13But the Phillies, it would be some comeback here, Greg.
00:17I must say, this would be something else if the Phillies were able to get it done and advanced,
00:22simply because I think how this game goes will depend on how they use Wheeler.
00:29If they are playing from in front, at some point, you've got to keep an eye on ahead, right?
00:36I mean, at some point, the fact that you allowed Painter to pitch the 9th and the 10th inning yesterday
00:41with confidence,
00:42you got my vote there, Donnie Baseball.
00:46That was outstanding stuff.
00:48Again, I am sure, and you correct me if I don't think Claude said, you know what would be great?
00:53Leave Painter in there for the 9th and the 10th inning,
00:56because Claude looked at those numbers and went, oh boy, can we just get him out of here?
01:02So I give credit to Donnie Baseball, but I'm going to be interested to see how or if they utilize
01:10Wheeler in this spot,
01:11knowing, well, game one is just around the corner here.
01:14Is it not in a couple of days?
01:17Right.
01:18So a couple of things there.
01:19First of all, Mattingly did say after the game that Duran was not available.
01:23So that was the deal.
01:25Duran couldn't pitch.
01:26And you knew that was coming.
01:27You said that.
01:28Yep.
01:28Yeah.
01:29I didn't know that he may be hurt is not the word, but Donnie said that he had to get
01:35treatment today.
01:37So I'm not really sure, Joe, if Duran's even available today.
01:41Something could be up with him.
01:42It's definitely possible that that is the case.
01:45Even if Duran said that, right?
01:47You said the manager's not telling us that anyway.
01:50The manager's never coming to us and saying, look, Duran said his arm hurt.
01:54He did now, though.
01:54Right?
01:55He did now.
01:56Well, we really don't even know what the story is.
01:59I am skeptical on Duran right now.
02:02I'm a little skeptical on him based on that.
02:04I mean, I guess I know Donnie a little bit.
02:06For him to say that tells me that that's real.
02:08So there's something there.
02:10Um, so, so Wheeler, Wheeler could do a bum garner and go all the way.
02:15Yeah.
02:15I could see that from the fourth, fifth on if that's possible.
02:19Okay.
02:20But does it, but the other thing too.
02:21And so now here's to answer the last part of this.
02:24Your point is driven, is driven home on the last part.
02:27Are you telling me that Atlanta and Philadelphia have any shot game one and game two in LA?
02:32What kind of shot?
02:34I don't think they have any shot at all.
02:37If they have to, if you have to throw sale and Wheeler in this game, I mean, what, I
02:44mean, maybe game three things normalize a little bit, but the Dodgers are going to, I would
02:49assume that if this is a three, two game, four, three game, eight, nine innings, the Dodgers
02:55are going to open up game one against, I don't even know who as like minus one 70, I think,
03:01or maybe more in playoff game one and maybe even the same in game two.
03:05So strange things happen and teams go on the road and win, but this, I still am not
03:11convinced LA goes to the world series and I'm not convinced they win the world series
03:17at all, but in a five game spot now going up against these teams that are going to have
03:22to punch each other in the mouth tonight for nine innings.
03:26You gotta, you gotta think that, that LA will probably advance beyond the AL and excuse
03:33me, the NLDS.
03:34And then at that point, I don't know, Milwaukee is very good.
03:37San Diego is clearly very good, but, but LA Joe, I would say that LA secretly is sitting
03:41back going, Oh yes, this is nice.
03:44Yeah.
03:45I use them all.
03:46This is nice sitting back watching this.
03:47Every one of them.
03:48Yes.
03:48Roll them all out there and use every one of them.
03:51Darn is going to be interesting.
03:52We'll have to keep an eye on that.
03:54Yeah.
03:54I'm not sure he pitches.
03:56Maybe.
03:56I don't know.
03:58Maybe not.
03:59Interesting.
04:00Well, then they're in real trouble.
04:02...
04:02...
04:02...
04:02...
