After Hours with Amy Lawrence PODCAST: Hour 4

The meaning there gave me anything Crossroads about what we want our next YouTube video to be he think that we should be doing another video version that gave me anything I would prefer to do the next episode in our stairway to seven theories right now. Course now that's happening because it's crazy busy, but we are kind of at a crossroad. I don't know J if you're even close to having enough questions to do a video version of asking me anything I been so little bit and picking up one fromGallant. I store the Sabin progress world is nuts really yes okay acorns but okay.

I was about to squirreled the family a squirrel is girls who eat peanut somewhere in the neighborhood.

I don't know who put their peanuts out for them like I get into my shed in early spring when I have been there all winter, and the entire floor of my shed is covered with peanut shells, so there's apparently a family of squirrels somewhere who pick up the, the peanuts and the peanut shells and bring them back to my shed my nice warm comfy show there's really look like one of those Texas roadhouse where you get you get up the bucket, peanuts and people eat up you just crack the shells and people eat the peanuts and throw the shells in the restaurant following a ballpark right but we went to the ballpark. That's what we were doing the rice, peanuts and people just drop the shells all over that. So that's what I said looks like that was not where I was going but Jason is a bagels girl, blind girl finding a not so anyway we got to that point were ready to do another YouTube video we can barely coordinate when to watch the latest episodes of and/or so right now there's just a lot going on and were getting pulled in a bazillion different directions.

You search after hours with Amy Lawrence and my mom can find me on YouTube and she does in writing about YouTube.

Weirdly enough, she actually sent me a YouTube video no link. Last week I was very surprised about was spam what is happening as my mom setting the YouTube video.

My mom didn't do it so can you want to hear something crazy day. I swear this again thought. Actually, my mom, who are you and what have you done with my mom. Actually, I'll redo the text because you're not to believe this came for my mom. Now I know that the whole world quote unquote is talking about roughing the passer penalty. My mom watches football only because her husband has it on and she sends me this text after her husband was making a joke about the just some stupid meme that he said to my mom, Mike and I have our own little mini group text alive. Times were talking about our dogs, but whatever. So he sends me this stupid meme about the rafts on Monday night and my mom writes back if they were such bad calls. Why were they challenged mom what we are really in depth. For someone who doesn't like football, like 1/2 a football on Sundays. She'll send me a text in Houston. This is so poor when I have to work from her house do you have to watch that all day will yes Bob yes I did so anyway. I guess if they were such bad calls. Why weren't they challenged mom. She smarted person on the planet anyway, let the great question are actually coming from the NFL and some say his will get to that on this hour during this hour on this edition of the home show here on CBS sports radio. We also got some QB news to end, Mike Tomlin's not talking directly about QB's he's talking about offense and we can go ahead and trot out my talent has nothing to do with what were about to talk about, which is playoff baseball. He said we need. This is a drop Mike Tomlin, the great Mike Tomlin the great quote on whether or not he is going to make changes to playcalling or who is in charge of the offense, or thing like that with the stealer scuffling at 14 intended change for the sake of changing to shoot a hostage if you will, or anything.

I don't intend to make a change for the sake of changing to shoot a hostage if you will shoot a hostage if you will or oh my gosh, okay, that term that I would drop out there because I want to any crime dramas I love all the FBI's. Although the law enforcement dramas like Chicago PD core Chicago filing like I love that kind of TV and in movie.

I had no idea that Mike Tomlin I had that in common. In fact, I was just watching addition of FBI on Tuesday in between the two games of two rounds games and they did have a hostage crisis.

I wonder if my job was watching the same thing episode, I'm not knocking to make the changes for the sake of change to shoot a hostage if you will shoot a hostage if you will. Okay, let's be honest. Have you ever heard another NFL head coach or coaching any sport, use that phrase. No really have. Can we added to our Mike Tomlin open.

I mean, that's way more interesting than what Troy Aikman said on Monday. I football stage. What he saying, but you wouldn't get what you saying if you don't watch crime dramas or if you're not in the world of crime and drama is watching too many law and order episodes. There's no such thing as running a hostage is do you think it will go to get really like outraged over it got outraged over the Troy Aikman comment.

I don't love the Troy Aikman comment. Let's be fair. I think it's definitely sexist, but for heaven sakes like whatever's read, it's not my favorite phrase, but there's no need to get outraged over it. Interesting.

I wonder people get outraged over shoot the hostage. Have you have you heard any uproar over I got in here until I got to work for over just about over the factories not to change anything because I would hate to have Mike, get lambasted for something like that stump but were deftly going to use it as one of which is wise not to shoot a hostage loader will be thinking about word add that to our Mike Tomlin folder though because that's fantastic again.

Only Mike Tomlin baseball now just I don't that was in my head and I just needed to tell you that my time is not specifically referring to quarterbacks, but he is referring to playcalling duties and and in our opinion, that means we can trot out any old Tomlin that we need to sort is preparing you for what you might hear from Mike, knuckle up, it put up and shut up time. What about me that I had the stuff memorized is put up a little bit like the Star Wars movies I watch them when you can recite every lie like I can get still entertaining to decide my common press conferences like the claw marks the old one, sure, but he comes up with something new every single day back. He did just another breadcrumb to the breadcrumb. Another okay I know that it's after hours with Amy Lawrence here on CBS sports radio. The CBA go padres got into a fight. Nothing all against the archrival Los Angeles Dodgers and had an opportunity that had to start fight and scratch and claw their way back in and they had Julio Riaz as well as the bullpen on the ropes in the fifth inning almost brings a tear to my field.

Thompson Thompson makes him on his way to the plate have that is not just Jesse Adler and padres radio but Charlie Steiner on Dodgers radio because after the Padres put three runs across the plate in the fifth. They ended up leaving what they did upcoming empty coming up empty with the runners on second and third catalog started the double-play and it was a huge moment for the Dodgers because after that the bullpens really took over so the doctors get on the board first and are able to do what they do against the Padres which is dominate them in the final score doesn't look like domination. The fact is the Padres have lost 24 of their last 29 games to LA so there is definitely a mental edge there for the Dodgers and the fact that they started out there in dodger Stadium. But what I really appreciate, and we saw some of this on Tuesday.

The division series as part of the, the rematches, there's no intimidation here. The Padres are not intimidated by the Dodgers. In short, there's a little bit gamesmanship.

What is Freddie Freeman say what they've their hot right now we been hot for seven months so it's good because I like it when there's a little extra edge to it. When the familiarity breeds contempt. And so the dodging of the board first and they avoid it. You can say three runs in the vent is a big inning, but it could have been a whole lot bigger for the Padres's after hours here on CBS sports radio. Many Machado certainly understands that they don't want to fall into it old to hold against the Dodgers and then be on the ropes before they even get back to their own Park. You also governments will speaking of you. It's funny because he said you but he met you as and why you sometimes it's easy to lose that when guys are talking about you so you Dharmesh against Clayton Kershaw in game number two, which takes place on Wednesday night. Dodgers had real really no trouble with my Clevenger.

They were able to get to him early and often as I say they had they had their runs on the board pretty quickly and and for Clevenger over Bob Melvin putting Clevenger out there hoping that it would be a little more challenging to the bullpen that performed a lot better because he had to get to the bullpen relatively quickly stimulation work makes for a lot of pictures. You throw the plate to take advantage of us are really on with the times that a good breakable at times it a good fastball, but that his mistakes, Clevenger did make it out of the third inning.

Julio lasted the first five but you know, for the first time since early July, as in before the All-Star break. He gave up three runs good. He's been, and it was to the Padres there with the three runs in the fifth so game line that goes to the Dodgers and no here, by the way, this is a closer by committee situation for Dave Roberts because they decided to leave Craig Kimbrell off of their playoff rosters so no great Kimberly got. They brought in to replace Kenley Jansen, who obviously is now with the Braves, they decided they couldn't trust them. Let's be honest. That is what they decided they didn't want to take up a roster spot with a guy that they were really uncomfortable putting out there in sticky situations and he's I mean, it felt like I was watching Kenley Jansen all over again.

Kelly's got a World Series ring and he's been so big and so many good situations just like Craig but not lately.

And that's the part that gives you I Judah if you're Dave Roberts, now the Dodgers have some loud bats and the fact that they had five days off was a big deal right so you guys were talking about it the fact that they were able to to take a break to reset me Trey Turner.

He was he was right there in the mix initially and at first it gets Clevenger. By the way the game is being replayed on FS one and he says the time off was was critical to assure my body so good as it is a long time plus years and your spouse usually pleasuring the publisher's been pretty good so pretty good body was put you in a few days off. I think you told you mentally and physically just helps a little bit and help you hit the reset button require commemorative electricity of children.

You're a veteran team that's okay or if you're a veteran that's okay. In the case of the Dodgers and Trey Turner even though he wasn't with them for their World Series.

He was opposite with the nationals for the heirs. In 2019 and so the fact that these guys all recognize how you need to perform in the postseason the edge both mentally and physically that you need that sense of urgency. The tension in all of these are familiar feelings for the Dodgers. For the most part I'm in.

I would say for the Braves as well. Probably the Astros to though they do have some some younger guys maybe have been the situation before, does it make the difference between who wins a series, and who doesn't, well not necessarily, but if you're talking about having five days off and maybe getting out a rhythm and that whole rust factor which days seems quick to develop rest so I that's not really an issue, but definitely not what you're talking about veteran clubs who got veteran leadership yet looking forward to seeing Clayton Kershaw after what was a bit of a surprise in a good way season for him. But you know what that resurgence even for Justin Vernon Lander did not translate into the postseason. So we'll get to that coming up. There were some really cool fireworks on the first day the divisional theories, but there was one 25-year-old who has to be top billing name in lights on the marquee. It's after hours with Amy Lawrence. Good morning to you. It's Wednesday at our home show here on CBS sports radio you are listening to the after-hours podcast is driving will will will will give the one will will will you as you use these after-hours Lord Ray Grant on Mariners radio. The mariners were able to get to Justin Oberlander early and often. So six runs on Justin Oberlander who had a resurgent year and I would call him a Cy Young candidate in the American league, but he has really struggled in the playoffs.

In his last six starts for the for the Houston Astro's in the postseason so it's their last six stories he's over. He had not won any of those games at his ERA as well over five and so the Justin Berlinger were getting in the postseason over last year and then even to start this run is not the one that we are used to. Now the Astros were able to chip away and chip away, starting in the eighth and then on into the night. This is why you never, ever, and I mean ever leave early. No one will know you and the guys in front of everybody. Senior don't you start squaring both of you know you do that a lot. So five runs in the eighth and the ninth for the Astros who definitely enjoy playing against the Seattle Mariners. Now the mariners were familiar with just Oberlander and did not care that he's Justin Vernon Lander former Cy Young Award winner MVP World Series champion blah blah blah. And that's the beauty of facing a team in your division.

You know the ballpark you know the pictures you know the crowds. There's no unfamiliarity. There's no uncertainty. Everything is comfortable welcome to what be the wrong word. Everything is is familiar with for you because you play there so many times, but the Astros also enjoy giving it to the mariners and there's no love lost there, which is why this is fine. 41,125 fans that go completely nuts when your dad Alverez it's that homerun to walk off three run shot.

By the way, one of the guys got on base with a hit by pitch Soviet the first reliever who started it was Patrick Seewald right the first reliever who started the night for the mariners.

He hit the I think it was the first batter he faced and so that put the extra runner on base so Berlinger ends up not being the picture of record, and he did give the mariners credit for the way that they approached him, but he's also taking credit for the comeback.

This is actually kind of funny.

I came up here to look at some stuff and things are going better for us down there until you're done what he is about superstitions. He actually believes.

Well I think he's joking. Let's hope he's joking, but you know baseball players are there so superstitious and then baseball fans as well. But he says he left he went up to the media area. Probably some film that he can watch there.

He came up to look at some stuff he was away from the dugout is what he said he was in the dugout. He wasn't with his team, which I think should should make it pretty clear how frustrated and upset he was about the way that he had pitched and he stayed out there, even as the Astros are coming back would you do that.

I know you you actually do that from dugout level you be with the be there with your teammates you rather watch on TV.

If I made a move that made the team start winning I would ever limited but until I come back to scratches but all the ridiculous. It's so ridiculous and exited like someone saying just the no-hitter in the eighth inning location in the stadium had absolutely nothing to do with it. I don't know anyone to run with it right. I mean, no way.

There's no way that I would stay upstairs stadium full of corporate and ammonium want to do that.

Okay, now you're just being ludicrous and ridiculous and asinine.

Also along the same lines, it is got this tweet from Alessandro. Are you ready hey why no hockey talk this morning we went to games to games last night and yes the hockey season is underway.

I mentioned I am not breaking down the first two NHL games where there are four playoff series and some controversy in the NFL. I'm sorry to have to forgive me, but if you know me you just know know you so are you still pay Cialis Entre is okay. I'm just I'm teasing, but that tweet did just catch my eye if you two would like to complain the suggestion box actually goes to producer J on twitter a lot radio he'll be happy to answer all of your tweets and handle all of your concerns about these can you do with the Moji fleas. He sent us a couple of ODs, one of them is the shrugging shoulders emoji is why no hockey talk. The game went down the wire down first hear about that. I wasn't watching the hockey game that went down to the wire because I was busy watching play also went down to the wire service softcore theme rally and the look on his face as I got to give him credit because I have a lot of facial expressions, and if I knew a camera was on me. It actually would be really difficult. He does have a bit of a grimace after the Astros walked off the question about ballgame today with a lot of great things offensively. Oberlander early in the game and the exactly what we need to do there but as I talked earlier about it in our team about like a heavyweight fight get punched that's how you respond in those moments, and that's a telephone today so we headed in and you give them credit so the top two teams in terms of record.

I know it doesn't matter in the playoffs but the top two teams in terms of record, the top seed in the American League and the National League. They both win the openers at home, but there's more drama to come out when they try mentioned. I adore Robert Ford and Steve Sparks as a play-by-play team going to hear it again very yelling it's fantastic because it's so loud it Minute Maid Park noise because because it's close right is the kind of noise that each you can't get rid of it sits on you and they probably couldn't hear themselves talk, much less think and they are you yelling at the top of the log. It's so amazing no one will know there was or you is enjoy listening to them even when it's not a playoff game and when I heard that call Mike okay were to play that multiple times, especially Steve, the first voice you here is Robert Ford. The play-by-play for most of the endings they go back and forth. Then Steve at the who's just screaming his phantasm in the unit carried away the emotion you know we reach out to both of those guys actually to get them on the on the show at some point during the postseason because they been just before their grades, but the game was earlier so you guys will like you killed it. I got the top seed in each league moving on the Yankee game was relatively boring by their standards. I think though they were able to get the redemptive performance from caracole, and then the Phillies you want to talk about a sigh of relief so will mix that in will not, we will mix it with our QB news. Can that be like mixing motor oil and and milk. I just don't think those two things go together.

Those of the two substances I could think of anyway will will manage to jam at all and it's after hours here on CBSSports radio you are listening to the after-hours podcast is you charge is real, so swing some scorn towards me and I rented cars but worked out those candles going through my head.

Honestly do anything I could not limit the growth from about one to be in the ninth-inning right. There are a lot of time hitting throughout also just really all around her job and went after hours with Lawrence Wright Harper raving about about time they cast the autos who really was the star of the show for the Phillies win in Atlanta yesterday.

The three run home run to bring the Braves within a single run in the night and the that diving catch by Nick to be able to rob William contrariness of an extra-base hit and keep that rally going. That was the moment but Nick also had three hits and three RBI. This was after a tough season and the fact that he went over seven in the wild-card round so I hear the call there on Braves radio Phillies hanging on for dear life there until the end. Now it wasn't quite that dramatic, Ford caracole, he faced a pretty intense moment against the guardian's top of the third and he actually left the bases loaded and so his stat line looks great six in a 30 get up just a single run.

That was the Stephen Quan Homer on four heads. He has eight strikeouts.

He throws 100 pages to go there. I thought we might see a repeat of last year's wild-card game, but I don't know. I wondered if he was going to leave to the pressure.

I thought we did a really good job early because I got back in touch with love for the suburbs. We have a really good opportunity. Bases loaded and test you, so help is pretty good stuff on your watch the games got lost all talk to give him a couple free bases there in the first couple innings, but really got really good defensively as the game wore on and made some really good place behind him, but I thought there was thought he did a really good job of of you cut only the moment being unpredictable and I thought his breaking ball was was really really on point tonight little bit redemption for caracole after the Yankees early exit last year, though of course this is best-of-five tonight.

Well this afternoon we've got game two between the Phillies and Braves, that's 435 Atlanta time and the Dodgers will host game two against the Padres and that is that 537 local time, at 837 E.

It's after hours with Amy Lawrence on CBSSports radio. We love it when you join us for the home shall we cram as much and as we possibly can.

And true websites with our quarterbacks is there on this edition of the show and I promise you the update on the rubbing the pastor stuff as well so I need to work that in.

Let's begin with their insulting his cord back. You missed it on Monday he was at press conference what the difference between the commanders and the other teams in the CE sorry the end of the East that right now. They combined to evil giant cowboys among them quarterback runners.

And the answer is quarterback insulting to Carson went indirectly, though he did say he doesn't have any regrets bringing Carson on board address and handle it from for me was concerned about coaches.

Very straightforward, upfront time addressing the team meeting, which I thought was really cool and what he meant by it.

Also feel very confident I spoke to Mike to miss more told that I said something were misconstrued and presented properly in some sort of accountability told the guys at the I should know better and more and more swearwords more and more where the belief that his press conferences, it's runners going through it, but he's from a military families topping the cancer survivor. This is bringing out some true character and rotten. I do appreciate that he accept the responsibility it's happened to all of us.

We've all had a bad day here, there may be some of us more than others is after-hours CBSSports radio same division. Jerry Jones keeps answering the question.

When will they decide if Jack Prescott is ready to return to the field the ball and the ball you think about it and ran down the block would be the equivalent of football try to do that with strength in that bolt out of the direct that bold up you really given a problem so came to but if you do have strength can grip the ball and the ball. Unlike most Andrews and Jeff to feel you have to develop the ability to see what the group is back. We will have an entry all that simple. Get a zip ball out there will start working on that Wednesday real hard shortly doing the kinds of things medically that you will with the indications and x-rays all that tremendous improvement in the ball that we know God can play and we know we'll be ready to play the minute you get a chance to going again spin the ball when he says it over and over like that.

That's Jerry Jones of Sean and RJ are Dallas affiliate 1053 the fan but let's be frank theirs unless there's less urgency when your team is not lost since Jack Prescott got hurt and I love love how thrilled he is for Cooper rush in the ball Giants have only lost one game the same record as the Dallas Cowboys they rallied from two touchdowns back of the Packers in London so Aaron Rodgers with Pat McAfee what happened in London against the giant. For the most part, once knocked on the last line starts in 97 premarital are all sorry. It's just it's time no increase that through no butter on third down, better situational football is internal defiance and provide training to nowhere in the mix. After five structures are, but the sound of a few rogue gyms around on the road. The women some similar environment first place so that belongs to the Minnesota Vikings. Aaron Rodgers likes a challenge that Pat McAfee show on Tuesdays.

He also talked about roughing the pastor and the fact that he believes the playing field is tilted away from the defense he exits and playing the other side of the ball as hard to miss that earlier in our show on our podcast Tom Brady on his let's go podcast was weighing in on the Grady Jarrett roughing the passer penalty late in the fourth quarter of his gamer box game against the Falcons was a long, long unwelcome. He was in the doctor about this as I set out the games. I don't throw flags. What I do throws tablets. You had a hell of a game that's all we any point reach that that moment where the tablet jokes are funny.

I laugh at everything is about a good gauge on the tablet jokes still funny so funny right well he trots about, even when he gets on Fox is Fox right that is going to be safe… You can keep track of all their money, even when he ends up as a broadcaster, you can be sure the be plenty of tablet jokes and blessed Jim Grazer friendly audience to laugh at anything he says is well. Tom Brady with Jim Gray on let's go on Sirius XM radio all right were going to shift a little bit now to the NFC South.

While staying there I guess we are with Brady, but we know Baker Mayfield is injured.

Steve will just taken over for the fired Matt rule.

So what is the sit rep with you tomorrow so we still wait and see exactly what Stan's PJs open ready a great job. Each and every day have total confidence and if he just stepped in the official injury report may not be out but according to the unofficial report and the sources Mayfield has a high ankle sprain. No other structural damage but 2 to 6 weeks that a wide range but that's the deal with high ankle sprain.

You just there's really not a whole lot you can do it has to heal on its own.

Ask Mac Jones is pretty common in sports, so PJ Walker is which is maybe why David Tepper made the move now to get rid of Matt rule right so that's inside the South with the Panthers and then one more because Mike Tomlin is answering questions about whether or not he should give up playcalling duties to change for the sake of changing to shoot a hostage if you will, or anything of that nature.

Changes produce better outcomes will similarly produce better outcomes. We feel like it poses a position to produce better outcomes in a multitude of certain sailors averaging barely over six passing yards per attempt which is nearly the bottom of the barrel in the NFL and they only have two passing touchdowns.

They did make the move to Kenny Pickett but he had faith that Buffalo defense in his first start so that was tough, so almost all see except person Mike Tomlin.

Shoot the hostage. I'm sure you did mean you made Stravinsky or you Kenny Pickett.

It's a fantastic phrase if you're a fan of crime dramas like me.

I mentioned this earlier. I broke it down a little more, but in case you're wondering know the NFL did not according to the AP did not encourage its officials to call more roughing the passer penalties after to his concussion when he was injured on national TV.

Now take that with a grain of salt. You can believe it or not, but we already know that the NFL competition committee will be reviewing rougher the roughing the passer, though, isn't likely to make changes during the season so we'll see what happens.

Moving forward, but yes, the NFL is aware because were all complaining have a Greyhound table talk is not.

It's after hours CBSSports radio
