You're listening to the Downbeat on ninety seven to one, the freak Let's go Happy Halloween Rangers lead the World series two to one. Talk about that for a second and ten minutes the Downbeat singing Pumpkin. More on that in ten thinkers, Morning News coming up at eight thirty five. A lot of stuff there. We had something else for ten minutes. What do you mean, m why don't we just go to tease it for ade fifteen? Hey? Yeah, and you told we will start their countdown timers. Yes, and
you don't want to violate start early. So A Duley's leaves the game last night and I don't even know it happened. I was kind of going back and forth. I was watching the MAVs on my little phone too, you were, I mean, I had the game on the TV. I have MAVs on little phone for some reason. I had Monday Net Football on the little TV on a little cooler reef too much crap, Danny, too much? You didn't. You weren't enjoying the entire sports equinox. Yeah, sorry,
stars, we'll get at you later. Just with you half time man in a week, they understand. Yeah, And I love you I'm not expected to really handle that. You if Julie wasn't watching the Stars last night, shame, that's on the Julie Show. Shame. MAS three. No, maybe we'll talk about some Lucas stuff here in an hour at nine o'clock. But I look up and there's a fly ball, and I'm like,
why is Janekowski in the game. He loved janet Kowski, loved the Janet King, love Trav big uh. Big funny note about travel all year long is he missed a couple signs in Chicago and the players make fun of him every time. Yes, you can't find many funny stories about this Ranger team. This team is not the twenty eleven team for that reason alone. Like, there's a whole article in the Dallas Morning News, but uh, you guys know the guy Michael Hog I think is his name. Yeah, incredible
artist, incredible artist. And his whole point was like, let's see if we can write a story, an article tell with these guys telling some funny stories or some things that have You know, I've been a real funny throughout the year. They got nothing. They don't have a lot of funny stories. That's okay, Maybe that's the best way to go win a World Series. This seriously, but we've been begging the Cowboys to have no funny stories all year long and just you know, yeah, since about ninety five.
I just go get it. Maybe the truth is, as Norm McDonald famously said, go back to the strippers and crack and then that will get you, you know, the super Bowl you need. But look up at the Janakowski's in the game, and then they go to the dugout and you see a Doles reaching for his side. Looked like oblique didn't boche after the game, did the whole Well, we're gonna we'll talk about it in the morning, which we'll be waiting on updates with baited breath. But I have a
hard time seeing a Dooles playing tonight. My one hope for that is that Dolees, as we discussed earlier, hot blooded, very animated. You know, there's a chance he shoot him up. No, I just think that he's dramatic, and I'm not doubting that he was hurt and like checking in, but it was maybe, you know, I like that theory. Laid
up little. I don't really even mean played up. I just mean he's very dramatic and then maybe he realizes, all right, I'm okay, I'm gonna play and the good Hope have kind of a heroic comeback, and I don't know, he just kind of fits all that drama excitement stuff. It's pretty weird like last night with so Sures are left with a back issue, the dullest oblique issue, and then at one point didn't they do a mountain visit for spores and check him out? They were concerned about his health too.
He keeled over, he went both hands to the knees and yeah, boy, in considering how they ran their bullpen usage, the guys that they used last night, that game was so much more important for the Rangers to win than it was. And Smoltz said this than it was for the Diamondbacks to lose. Because that's in that to me, because I heard that, my brain couldn't process. Because the way they the bullpen usage last night, you end up stretching John Gray. You're not going to see him tonight.
Who maybe your most trusted pitcher out there. Maybe that's not even up for debate because I think that le Clerk is basically a baby Chapman, just a powder keg waiting to explode in failure. But they bend and they bend and they bend, and they just haven't broken yet. But tonight though, you don't really know what they're gonna do. Hean dog, yeah, but what if what if he he stinks? Is it? He dog starting starting? He's starting, and you know it will be heening and dunning would be the
play. And then hypothetically Martin Presby available if you need a bulk. Their starter is Joe manned to Ply. Yeah, a lefty, so I mean it's the same thing. And the thing with Scherzers out game seven would be John Gray exactly. So the way this plays out is that you win last night, thank God, because tonight I think all bets are off and I almost kind of expect to lose tonight, which then flips your rotation back to
the beginning. Then you go back to your one and your two. You hope that you can win both of those best cases maybe best cases, both of them. You can kind of accept one when to get it to a game seven, and based on what you've seen with John Gray so far, you hope that he could give you four or five and then have maybe some of those other guys that have already pitched be rested for a game seven. But I think if the Rangers lose last night, I think the chances are
that they lose tonight. You don't want to go down three to one. I think that game was much more important for Texas than it was for Arizona. Chris Young said this after the game. I think this kind of matters. He said, we were expecting fifteen outs from Max, so they thought Scherzer would go five. He said, we used John Gray more than we wanted to. So three innings nine outs from John Gray. Wasn't John Gray supposed to be tonight though? I don't know. I mean, he pitched
in game two. There's no way they expected him to pitch yesterday. There's no way. Yeah, he was in the post game. He was kind of surprised by it and he was rushed up there. I'm ready right though, on a monster dude. I mean, it's started his whole life and he's like, I'm ready. Cody Bradford's another bulk option tonight too. He can go eat you two innings or whatever. Boy, if you win tonight, though, do you feel really good about Eavaldi or George Yes? Getting
winning the clincher. But but last night's winning sure that they at worst it'll come back here. M hm, which is good. Yes, yes, I think yeah, No, it's great road Dogs. Yeah, you got smacked in Game two and they had sort of make a statement, and I feel like with the patchwork pitching, the did great. This bullpen has been good in the postseason. I know the Bucker factor is still there, but I mean, if you look at spores, he's at like nine, he's
over nine innings in the postseason. I think he's giving up one earned run. I mean, if you look at that like a starter, it's a beautiful start. I don't know, it's not exactly fair. But Chapman is kind of the same. Seven point one innings, pitched two earned runs, you know, four walks, five k's. I mean, that's a rock solid start, you know. And la Clerk's the same. But he's alway up to thirteen point one innings and la Clerk has pitched some longer than he
he used to. He's been put in some tough situations. Five earned runs in over thirteen innings and fourteen or fourteen k's, like they've those are big three are circle of trust. Yeah, has had a little bend to it, but not a whole lot of break, not any break. They haven't cost us a game yet, right our bullpen has not done what they've done on the regular In the regular season, they have not cost the Rangers a game. They have not blown a save, or at least to where it
did. I don't think they've blown any saves. But the L two A game Game five, the L two A homes Okay, that's still one. Yep, yep, you're right, you're right, you're right. But other than that, man, they've been bend but not breaking. All the talk and paranoia, yes, and rightly so. After statistically the season they put together, they have been fine. Roller Coasters are supposed to be scary. Right could be added to the roster if Adols has to miss. I don't
know that he would immediately get at bats. Robbie Grossman would probably be your candidate to get some right handed at bats. But there's a something to watch. It's such a quick turnaround. I don't know. I don't know if Adulis should be playing tonight, and maybe you just trace if you can get him right for Game five, six, Game seven, whatever. There's that maybe some more of the Rangers at nine Cowboy's trade deadlines today MAVs all at
nine o'clock will catch you up on some of that stuff as well. But now it's time for the downbeat singing pumpkin. Today, when you get off work, hustle over to your nearest store that sells goods and buy a downbeat singing pumpkin for us. Because Mike, Daddy and I all pulled together a
bunch of money just shore a forty thousand dollars. Yeah, because we in this investment opportunity, and yeah, we're like, all right, well, the drought was bad on pumpkins, and everyone knows that a lot of people like to get a natural pumpkin, and the drought wiped out a lot of pumpkins. So an artificial pumpkin that also has a soundtrack is a pretty good way to celebrate Halloween, if you ask me, it's kind of what I
told you guys in kind of that same voice and smartiness. I love that we're trying to get people to believe that between the three of us, we were able to pull an extra forty thousand dollars just why that's why we've only hired one person since the station started because all our money went to this pumpkin. Yes, just singing pumpkin. And the idea is that you purchased you should have had this but for three weeks. But they're just hitting stores today.
But we have one here in studio. The ideas you buy one, you set it out there. It's there's a motion sensor that was probably another twelve grand. Yeah, there's the lights in there too. As soon as somebody walks up, it sings a little song to you, right, yeah, huh. It's it's to me a Halloween tradition like none other to have a singing pumpkin. Now, it's just it's from my childhood. God. So you want to play some of the tracks that are in the custom downbeat
singing pumpkin. Yeah, just to be clear, these aren't live. This is the pumpkin that we have sitting on the table between us and we're just pressing play. And this could be on your porch. I mean, your kids walk up and they could hear these, you know, inspirational and fun Halloween messages. Let's see, I've got a couple of yeah, well sound effects. There's the pumpkin opening up what do you mean opening up? Don't mess with the sound library on the KT Why don't you press play first?
Here we go. Let's see if this works and shaky it's like a Rubik's cube on ust. Oh yeah, what's your favorite Starburst? Little boy? You said green? There's no green? Are you stupid? Boy? What's your favorite star Burst? Little boy? It does? It's matter you don't get one because your costume stinks. Okay, I didn't know. That's pretty good on there, fantastic smiled. All right, let's see what else is
on here. Let me press play on this thing, press play on this downbeat seeing pumpkin and uh, look here a scary little ghost and a dusty cowboy down at the whipping post. Oh, what a special night to be a live actuary table. Say you'll die before the year twenty eighty five. We're all gonna die. Enjoy some candy, then buy Hey, look a little samurai. We're all gonna die. Wow Samurai. I guess the little kid is rest of the Samurai. It's a true message. Just in time
for FX's remake of Showgun. Yeah, maybe that's what they're going for. Well, this is one another track of Anthey we had to go into the voiceover studio and record this. So this is another one. I think this one was. This one was called Don't step on my Lawn. We'll see don't step on my lawn. The lines are clearly drawn. Move your ass, get off the grass and don't step on my lawn. Move your feet to the concrete, and don't step on my lawn or I'll kill you.
Wow, that's a good one. What a great value. How much is this Singing Pumpkin? Two and seventy nine dollars? Wow? Okay, so yeah, good value. I'd say it's kind of an elite price point there. It was gonna be lower, but we thought, you know, inflation. Is that all? Is there? Only the three songs on the singing the downbeat, singing Pumpkin? Oh, there's so many more, mikey okay, Danny can play on one. All right, I've got this one.
I can see you creeping up the driveway in your little costume, hoping for some candy. You will be surprised when you say trick or treat when you receive a pound of rancid meat, meat meat. I forgot to go down to Wallgreens to purchase a me candy for all of the children. I began to pannick when I heard the door bell chime. So ground beef for you weeks beyond this prime. No candy, no candy, just ground beef. No candy, no candy, just ground beef. That's a pretty good one.
I have like people like tacos who don't like ground by beef. Wow, please just have one handful of ground beef per per trick or treater. No candy, just all right? Well those are the four songs that are on the downbeat. SA. I guess, well, Danny, Mike, there's actually more great like this one. What's your costume? I guess I don't get the reference, bitch, What the f? That's a short one. Yeah, it's one of those you just hit the next you just hit
the button, you play another one. Okay, you have different lengths? Yeah, well of course, so people have different sized driveways, walkways and whatnot. Yeah, get the Why are your song aggressive? But there's more. There's If you thought those were good, let me hit one around for a special added value. Here's this. What's mommy sipping on in that tumbler? I really want to know. Daddy apparently had to work late, big lawyer in Frisco. Your sweat is screaming. That's getting cold out, devil
