Will Middlebrooks, World Series Champion

Do you ever wonder about dreams or déjà vu that feeling on a first date.

Yes yes the spark is real maybe about where the aliens are, if they exist even if this could be infinite. So where is everybody, my name is Mike Simpson my podcast is called. I've got questions out of some animals change color. What's the best cure for the hiccups, do you wash your denim.

I usually wait for the six months kind of feels like a long time search for. I've got questions on the Odyssey Or wherever you get your podcasts new episodes on Thursdays will be back good that it's good to have you on. We appreciate you stopping by. So we see strategies here early on for the way that these pitching matchups are set up. Let's talk about them rather the gate first one map shows are going game one for the Mets against the Padres and then at the Mets when it looks like Chris Bassett will actually go game to the Mets lose game one, then the most likely run to ground out for gate number two. The understand what Buck Showalter is doing here yet but I hated it, but the more I thought about it, it makes it because I think they are in Dartmouth know it's really good down dumpster right now. I think there I think back to what they do limited game will convert the daughter Andre to go up again per day, five so that in a perfect world, that they went into game and then you get it wrong twice because the doctors that would be ideal.

Now I get behind the back of you go up one day. Why not take the opportunity to learn next) in the graphic can't do that chronically better off in day three so would like anything to happen one day. Thought deftly understand that the reason behind it. You are in the Padres locker room and I don't think getting any extra motivation. It's the playoffs you know what's at stake here. Would you maybe be saying wow these guys think they're going to be able to be queued up against something and set set us up the rotation so they can get to the next round to make it easier for them to that provide little bit of an extra spark to the Padres.

Very good. Now I will like it too. Like that, very, very good, though I don't think the pottery look at it that way whatsoever is that series between the Padres and the Mets that will show you that your down because the Mets blew the lead, they blew the division 100 day not forget about a very very good day and asked around and have to go to the daughter. The daughter of Alana? The Mets can still win world.

I still have them leading to the leading to the brain itself.

I like that you first thing to go to the come on better friends and render on little brats there with us so I know that your you have an interesting take care on Quintana going for the Cardinals. A lot of people surprise that he was there game.

One starter up against the Phillies. Zach will attack him to get underway tomorrow 2:07 PM Eastern with these funky start times in the major-league baseball postseason. What's your theory on Quintana going. I like about you have your map for the most part you go with the high, looking over the first part we run over the stark total look at the most five start to figure catalyst that Philly line Mike Harper house. Now you dig deeper and that you look at his numbers against lefties over that in September and one start in October, 0.8 ERA, 30% on the Wii contact plays loses one of the better looking €70 for an baseball so I think it matches up well number one is all about. To show the lefties in their little Middlebrooks right now. You like the answers. It seems like I do have a weak point and Montgomery was huge. The deadline that that that helped her right or clarity, the midline of the year?

There are three games. Even though the again that we learned in granola but you ultimately are not up to NDP candidate probably don't want to know when we come in second place of your discourse and run.

You have enough pitching him like a ticket on a car right now with the wind to be a sports HQ.

This is I killed show on CBS sports radio. I love that losses back in the Cardinals for this final season I could not have expected him to get this hot know one day that the 700 homeruns was awesome. I just what's been your your thought on this from being that the former player and knowing what pools means to the game. He's been able to do really last month or two. I love it. Given something for people to walk other than just their team, thereby watching someone else as being a level we get to watch someone else's that bad.

Another day made a result of a job the last couple weeks we see Miguel Cabrera 3062 over we get to see 700 homers 7.702 from Google for a no and assist. I played against the baton and knowing big ideas how much work you put in that and he's done it the right way. He's never been quite fair never failed, never had any steroid know I love it for the game because of who he is. Imagine steroids when he gets to the whole judge conversation. I still look at bonds as having the most home runs an individual season.

Some people they tell me that all its arrant judge because he's done at the clean way idea kind of approach that conversation, Barry bonds the long run. Nothing more than judging 11 more like that saying but like Verizon we know he never failed a test flight. We, the physical appearance but we we we know you we we know we did we know you but is also a product of his air McGuire without all those guys in that air permit pictures were probably took it to not just the only got steroid so he still thinking that the error we can't take that away.

But that said Aaron judge doing. That's the way testing is now in an and him doing this clean is very very impressive in the fact that he almost won the Triple Crown the best Triple Crown of all time which you pull that off. It ran away with the lot nudity yeah yeah I just needed that you have a good philosopher like four points I think you pull that off man NDP talk and no don't want to be about the MVP right now but I don't know what has to be judge Tani's reaction is gotta be judge, but then you look at the number evenly on both sides is good work that OPS + in baseball and yet the work that ERA plus in baseball. He was in the top four in pitching and hitting any qualified is a picture with 162 innings, but what are you like it because it ties to his greatness, because Aaron judge has the most home runs about right with you. I'm with you when and MVP this year than Otani every year. Here is the biggest thing is Otani. I really don't care about the MVP. I do think it should be judge. I want them on a different team and I want a different team to because the Angels that they have both used to be all you have trout you can't make the playoffs.

It's ridiculous for getting robbed of that now were being robbed the both trout and Otani in the plan.

One year arbitration bill for 30 million worth every bit of 45 50 million right you think he signed that in hopes that maybe that easier to move him and Teresa know what picture, $300 million dealer to me more that probably be a lot harder to trade that contract, but one year $30 million dealer anybody would think that Billy up learned in the Mets. I know Steve Cohen can afford and Billy upper knows I'm a little time to means that you trade show cash cow business outside of winning don't care about winning. Obviously, please do not stay. I agree I what's your gut tell you right now. Will Middlebrooks about arrant judge wears down judge playing baseball next year but going check and know what you think less than the fact that he bet on himself when he was offered $213 million to 39. Good that with back pressure on them and I think will be. I mean why not to secure the New York Yankees. You can do whatever you want Gardy over the go going make him $50 million a year loaded up on the backend for DJ 2030, but I mean that the body agent differently than normal.

Larry 67 288 well up until 35 3637.

He is still going to be an elite hitter in the league player you are him would you go home and would you go to the giant sore or not so much now and I know you saying New York is just different man. I know that home for him and and there's a lot of daughter arguably one of the best top or top five of the seven year span of all time.

The amount of David was a good baseball that will get to watch going just to see it on the east because it started 1010 at night beyond what why you should do it but I just think like the market in New York to be the face of the New York Yankees for the next six years, you can't. You can't get him to get better. I'm sorry to be disappointed if he goes there for fiscal regardless of the better by his own bed and put it Manhattan is here with us. See the two AL series plan out between Tampa and the guardians than the Mariners and Blue Jays all in Cleveland that that's going to be very interesting. It seems that a lot alike are low payroll and go. I really like Cleveland underdog Cleveland Paris Lavelle jalapeno Francona hello old school baseball right like strikeout behind runner the hit-and-run the bunt guides over the big ticket on defense in a pitch and an anomaly in today's game and a lot of people know how to combat that sometimes he couldn't see it every day. The fact that they want 92 games with the youngest team in baseball with one of the more old-school coaches in the game is probably manager the year. This, yeah, I'm going to Seattle I Toronto is the better team. I think Seattle has the factor. I think they have the clutch factor. This kind of thing like it met the BMI I don't have a ball below. Everything the travel travel situation. There's no way around that. I got to go all across the country north and north in Canada right so you think Luis Castillo was a big day one that's twice trade want to be back.

I expose Robbie Ray is hit around a little bit gave to Blue Jays because those right in the path mass left the loving to overthink and fail him again three of the clutch gene that is fine white women will run the late 20th and run score good but they pitch and play defense and discord in anything so earlier lecture on usage like the Mets and the brazen the NRCS he had the brains going back to the World Series of why you down on the Dodgers that just more self-confidence in the Mets all I think the daughter are that 110 game so I'm not like them away or anything, but they have a lot of? 300+1.

What Tony gone to get from a foreign strength is what supposed to think herself is a great year only started one postseason game is life like that. That's a big deal? You're closer going the ground are all trying to build Israel's tender deal and I like this way you cover for an so a lot of? So I think the Mets are better built further started to go deeper in the game and that I love you become enclosed out but I think Atlanta take them down and Elaine is the most well-rounded complete baseball. They win the World Series again. Yeah the world.

When why not the Yankees taken down Houston.

I feel like that's the question we asked each and every day that way for me under Lakeway Hall or the shoulder so he supposed to be back in the days off I what's eager to be like who will put a lot of Chapman on your on your roster to your vendor. You need sewing for 10 straight falters to go strike everyone on my visit is never go to game again. I can't trust caracole to begin no yeah you're right I like the marina I was certain renowned and 100 mile that I like Severino, like Cortez, thinking that way from coal the same guy he was and I don't want to get in the like. The sticky stop and not but it's not just him with a lot of guys. It's all a big change in her stop and I think that the legal strikeout having a bad fury does not as dominant as he was before you started Severino in game one of her coal think you mentally and mentally.

That's a good point that the really good point and I just turn the pilot there. My red thoughts and I will like the backstroke and thereby look they have they have a lot of questions in their bullpen. Like you said judge goes off in the playoffs because that pressure is melted off done with the whole 62 thing in all that's over now I can get back to the regular approach part of the field is construed anytime to chase to try to make something happen and God is likely what I now have to get down to some serious business. If your wife Jenny Dell need some security to try to go after Nick saved the Winn-Dixie wants to ask a question that she Artie asked. I will my resume. By the way, to be the security guard. Anybody can handle it on their own. It is on and worked in Boston to get you killed. Maybe were so like a pro were you watching that interview as it was happening yet. Malcolm the four so you are not happy at mixing the first time. The current right is not surprising anyone when he goes off after not eat the moment to look in the game. I never put anything past players or coaches right after the game, because you're feeling game.

I remember him. Jenny's nice wife golf and just some jackass talking on the radio. Thanks so much of the best my friend and do you ever wonder about dreams or déjà vu that ceiling on a first date.
