Paul Francis SullivanHOST
I'm your host, Paul Francis Sullivan.
Paul Francis SullivanHOST
Please call me Sully.
Paul Francis SullivanHOST
On today's episode, we are going to be talking about...
Paul Francis SullivanHOST
Let's just be honest.
31 MINS LATER
Paul Francis SullivanHOST
But we have to see.
Paul Francis SullivanHOST
Can this World Series be turned around and redeemed? Otherwise, we may be done with baseball on Tuesday night, which will be the greatest night in Milwaukee fans' history.
Paul Francis SullivanHOST
But sad night for your pal Sully because I want to see this go on because we don't know when baseball is starting next year.
Paul Francis SullivanHOST
But there's no game tomorrow, but I'm going to be doing a show.
Bill MahoneyHOST
Well, you can say that with the White Sox.
Bill MahoneyHOST
Didn't they trade for James Shields and gave up Fernando Tatis?
Scott JohnstonHOST
Yes.
Scott JohnstonHOST
Now, that one at the time, everyone was kind of like going, really? Really?
Ben BadlerHOST
And then you don't often see...
Ben BadlerHOST
Obviously, the Fernando Tatis Jr. trade for James Shields haunts the... haunts the white socks and you know, the Dodgers have gotten over it, but they traded your Don Alvarez before he ever played a game for them too.
Ben BadlerHOST
But you don't usually see a trade like that come back where the guy you traded out a rookie ball then comes back to just like beat your brains in.
Ben BadlerHOST
Not that he had like the greatest, I guess, ALCS, but, um, to do that in the ALCS has to feel, uh, Yeah,
Gene WatsonGUEST
One of our assistant general managers, Carlos Rodriguez, has come over from Tampa.
Gene WatsonGUEST
Matt Arnold, the president of the Milwaukee Brewers, we actually did the James Shields and Wade Davis deal back in 2012, and he's a dear friend, and I'm so happy for him.
Gene WatsonGUEST
But they just, in their player development format, they really are advanced when it comes to the technology aspect and the way you use technology in player development.
Gene WatsonGUEST
But they're also hyper-focused on the little things, bunting, moving runners, hitting the cutoff man, taking the extra base.
Neil SolondzGUEST
You could say Joe Maddon.
Neil SolondzGUEST
You could say James Shields because he's the pitcher who got the first win in in a World Series game for the Tampa Bay Rays.
Neil SolondzGUEST
I think any of those are really, really good ideas.
Andy FreedGUEST
Joe comes to mind.
Brandon KileyHOST
in those packages because that's been...
Brandon KileyHOST
I think Tatis was in the James Shields trade.
Tanner HendricksonPANELIST
I think he was.
Tanner HendricksonPANELIST
And it's been like a decade plus.
Paul Francis SullivanHOST
You still had pitchers who could-- who would go relatively deep.
Paul Francis SullivanHOST
In the, the 2014 season, they had James Shields who gave them innings.
Paul Francis SullivanHOST
In the 2015 World Series, yes, they had those marathon extra inning games where the bullpen came up big.
Paul Francis SullivanHOST
They also had a complete game.
Joe MaddonHOST
Everybody's hitting infield pop-ups off of his change-up, as an example.
Joe MaddonHOST
James Shields and Alex Cobb had, like, these freakish down-and-in change-ups underneath righties, down-and-away from lefties, or just... right on top of home plate when necessary.
Joe MaddonHOST
There's nothing I love more than a fastball change-up repertoire.
Joe MaddonHOST
And when it comes to cutters, sliders, et cetera, to me, a lot of times, that's just a bad fastball.
Joe MaddonHOST
Everybody's hitting infield pop-ups off of his change-up, as an example.
Joe MaddonHOST
James Shields and Alex Cobb had like these freakish, uh down and in change-ups underneath righties down and away from lefties or just right into the right on top of home plate when necessary there's nothing i love more than a fastball change-up repertoire and when it comes to cutters sliders etc to me a lot of times that's just a bad fastball um you have to really locate that well and i'll actually like those pitches to the opposite side hitter maybe the slider a little bit more same side, but cutter absolutely in on a lefty from a righty.
Joe MaddonHOST
And I love the curve ball more right on left and left on right than on the same side.
Joe MaddonHOST
So this is something that I think has been part of the DNA there for many, many years.
Bob FescoHOST
Yeah.
Bob FescoHOST
We watch James Shields damn near eat his glove on big strikeouts.
Bob FescoHOST
Right.
Bob FescoHOST
We would see that.
