Paul PabstHOST
... once during an active game.
Paul PabstHOST
It was the San Francisco Giants, and Barry Zito was batting.
Paul PabstHOST
Barry Zito was making a sandwich.
Paul PabstHOST
Like, like-
Kevin FrandsenGUEST
Yeah
Jeremy WolfHOST
Do I have issues with Moneyball? Yes.
Jeremy WolfHOST
First of all, the movie doesn't show Tim Hudson and Barry Zito.
Jeremy WolfHOST
[clears throat] Barry Zito won the Cy Young that year.
Jeremy WolfHOST
We're not gonna talk about pitching? We're just gonna talk about Scott Hatteberg and his on-base percentage? We're not gonna talk about Barry Zito? Miguel Tejada won the MVP.
Jeremy WolfHOST
We're not gonna talk about Miguel Tejada at all.
Jeremy WolfHOST
We're just gonna talk about [laughs] Eric Byrnes? Sorry, Tejada.
Matt BarrettGUEST
Yeah.
Matt IwanykHOST
That they had Barry Zito, they had Tim Hudson.
Matt IwanykHOST
I can't remember who the other one was.
Matt IwanykHOST
The movie doesn't give-
Paul Francis SullivanHOST
I don't think Cleveland has much of a shot tomorrow, but I always go back to this example.
Paul Francis SullivanHOST
In 2012, in the World Series, Justin Verlander, the greatest pitcher in baseball that year, he won the MVP along with the Cy Young Award, and the Giants, who were absolutely worn out in a seven-game series with St. Louis in the NLCS, were forced to start not Madison Bumgarner, not Tim Lincecum, who actually was a super reliever that year, not Matt Cain, but Barry Zito, and Zito won.
Paul Francis SullivanHOST
Things like that happen.
Paul Francis SullivanHOST
And if Rasmussen loses, then suddenly Cleveland will be salivating.
Cole KuiperHOST
Um, what happened to those?
Alex PavlovicHOST
But even get beyond the aces, like you had Barry Zito, you had Ryan Vogelsong-
Cole KuiperHOST
Vogelsong
Alex PavlovicHOST
... you had Tim Hudson, you had-
Paul Francis SullivanHOST
If Henderson can outpitch Yamamoto, and sometimes, you know, it's one game.
Paul Francis SullivanHOST
I saw, uh, when Justin Verlander was at the peak of his powers, MVP and Cy Young Award winner, starts game one of the World Series and got beat by Barry Zito, uh, and Pablo Sandoval for that matter.
Paul Francis SullivanHOST
If you got that one fluke win, if Mizarowski win and then they get that one fluke win, then it's gonna be a great series.
Paul Francis SullivanHOST
Right now, I'm just saying this, I'm leaning a little towards LA because they are always gonna throw a good starter at you.
Gil SantosSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
... and the executive.
Gil SantosSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I mean, I, I, if you don't mind me saying this, I look back, they didn't even feature Barry Zito.
Gil SantosSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
He was-
Tony MassarottiHOST
They never mentioned Zito, Mulder, or the pitching.
Tony MassarottiHOST
Never mentioned them.
JimmyAUDIENCE
Oh, by the way, Miguel Tejada won the MVP that year.
JimmyAUDIENCE
Barry Zito won the Cy Young.
JimmyAUDIENCE
They had a great closer, an elite closer, but I missed all that in Moneyball.
NateHOST
You know, it leaves a lot of information out.
NateHOST
I mean, like the Rays had Barry Zito and some very good pitching.
NateHOST
Yeah.
NateHOST
So there is that fact.
Paul Francis SullivanHOST
Sometimes it's not obvious.
Paul Francis SullivanHOST
Like when Justin Verlander started game one of the World Series and the Giants started Barry Zito, and it was a mismatch.
Paul Francis SullivanHOST
It turns out Verlander lost and Zito won.
Paul Francis SullivanHOST
Sometimes the mismatch goes your way, and sometimes it doesn't.
Henry WilkinsonHOST
"The movie doesn't mention that the A's had three pitchers with 15 plus wins and two hitters with over 30 home runs and 100 RBIs.
Henry WilkinsonHOST
In fact, Miguel Tejada was the American League's Most Valuable Player and Barry Zito won the Cy Young Award.
Henry WilkinsonHOST
Many scouts and students of the game often rank the early 2000s A's pitching rotation among one of the best in baseball history." Um- Yeah, it doesn't really, it doesn't- So yeah ...
Henry WilkinsonHOST
it doesn't mention like any of those players at all.
