I don't want to completely blame 162 00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:39.720 Darbish because of the astros on that, but I think 163 00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:44.879 the most important thing tonight is Yamamono's got to get 164 00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:49.240 to the first sitting unscathed, because I don't know if 165 00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:51.560 he has two on and he has one out, I 166 00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:54.800 wouldn't be surprised if Dave comes with the hook right 167 00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:57.360 then and there. Because I have a feeling this is 168 00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:01.680 gonna be a you know, height scoring, low scoring game 169 00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:06.199 for one of the first times in this series.

It's gonna 173 00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:19.480 be the first inning in which it's imperative that Yamamoto 174 00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:21.439 puts that zero up on the scoreboard. 175 00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:23.720 Yeah, and I got some news for you.

Yeah, he's pretty good at this guy. 191 00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:09.279 Andres and Wittier is next up here on a seventy 192 00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:10.519 sports Andres how you. 193 00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:15.600 Feeling, hi, guys, I'm feeling I'm feeling good. I'm feeling good. 194 00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:18.320 A little nervous, of course, you know, just knowing, uh, 195 00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:23.120 you know, how Yoshi did that first outing. But you know, 196 00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:26.759 I'm feeling good, but I think, you know, the bottom 197 00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:29.799 half of the lineup needs to get going. I think, 198 00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:33.000 you know, the superstars will do their things and I 199 00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:36.080 hope they come through, but you know they're gonna need 200 00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:37.960 the help too with that bottom half of the lineup. 201 00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:40.879 And then, uh, you know our bullpen. You know how 202 00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:44.320 they pitched the other night. They need to really bring 203 00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:48.480 that back with the off speed, getting Machado to chase 204 00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:50.159 Tatis even Tatis. 205 00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:50.519 Struck out, So. 206 00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:53.679 You know, I think that's pretty important. 207 00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:55.919 But I think we'll get it done. 208 00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:58.720 All right, andres appreciate it if he was just you know, talking. 209 00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:01.399 I'm thinking about the Game four Saxony and some of 210 00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:04.320 the pitches that Tatiz chase and Machado certainly was chasing 211 00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:08.000 the sliders or sweepers out of the zone. And if 212 00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:11.919 they can get that again and get these undisciplined hitters 213 00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:15.039 at the play to chase those pitches, that's certainly in 214 00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:17.840 favor of a Yamamoto because maybe get some confidence and 215 00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:20.159 those balls in Game one that they weren't chasing and 216 00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:24.559 they were sitting fastball against Yamamoto, that helps him getting 217 00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:27.519 ahead in the account and also have a potential, you know, 218 00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:29.720 strike three pitch that you can get it out on. 219 00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:31.480 Yeah, a couple of things on that. First of all, 220 00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:32.879 you have to be able to throw it for a strike. 221 00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:35.039 One way to do that is to throw it on 222 00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:37.639 the first pitch and throw it at the hitter. Hitters 223 00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:40.679 are looking fastball first pitch most of the time, so 224 00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:42.639 if you throw it at the hitter, it's gonna buckle 225 00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:45.039 them just for a split second and they're gonna wind 226 00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:47.720 up taking the pitch. Lots of times pitchers will do that. 227 00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:49.559 It's a great pitch. On first pitch is the only 228 00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:51.840 time you can really you know, back one up and 229 00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:54.279 get the guy to take it because they're looking fastball, 230 00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:56.399 and so you get strike one there shows them you 231 00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:58.039 can throw it for a strike. Then you can work 232 00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:00.600 that thing on the low and out side part of 233 00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:03.000 the plate. Again, he's got to work from the thigh down, 234 00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:06.159 not the other way around. But first pitch, curveball, you 235 00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:08.039 can do that and get away with it. So you 236 00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:09.200 might see him do that tonight. 237 00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:12.879 Darvish goes for the Padres. Certainly Dodger fans very familiar 238 00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:15.720 with him. In twenty seventeen and the results of Game seven. 239 00:11:15.799 --> 00:11:18.440 Here's Dave Roberts at his media session last night during 240 00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:21.879 the Dodgers workout, talking about you Darvish and facing their 241 00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:22.600 former picture. 242 00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:27.120 And I think for us it's just, you know, be 243 00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:31.759 ready to hit. He doesn't give in, but when he 244 00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:34.799 throws his slider, curveball in the strike zone or makes 245 00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:37.960 a mistake with the fastball, we got to be ready 246 00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:39.559 to hit it. And I do feel that if we 247 00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:43.759 can put pressure on him early, that puts us in 248 00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:44.440 a good position. 249 00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:48.039 All right, there's Dave Roberts. Certainly that's a success to 250 00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:50.480 a lot of pitchers you're facing is force him to 251 00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:52.720 throw pitches out of the zone and then make sure 252 00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:54.559 you take advantage of the ones that are in the zone. 253 00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:57.799 Yeah, And the best way is if you jump on 254 00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:00.519 him early, and he's gonna, you know, and not go 255 00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:04.600 for the proverbial. Let's work to count on him. If 256 00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:06.559 you spank him early, if he throws something in the 257 00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:08.799 zone and you're up there ready to hit, he's gonna 258 00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:11.360 think twice about laying one in there. And I always 259 00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:13.480 thought that that's a great thing. If you're not ready 260 00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:15.440 to hit, then don't get in the battles. 261 00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:17.840 Box eight sixty six, nine eighty seven two five seventy 262 00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:20.399 will keep things wrong. Thanks for being patient, Dodger fans. 263 00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:22.399 Paul in Long Beach is next up here on a 264 00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:24.679 five seventy LA Sports Sax and Kates and the am. 265 00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:25.159 How you doing. 266 00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:29.440 I'm doing great, Thank you for taking my call. I've 267 00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:32.080 got a couple observations and a question for Steve Sacks. 268 00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:38.240 Sure everybody talks about Game one with Yamamoto Yoshinovo, but 269 00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:43.120 Game two he came back very strong early on in 270 00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:45.840 the season, and I think his the next game, he'll 271 00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:49.120 be ready. He's gonna be ready tonight. And I think 272 00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:52.919 the bottom of the lineup Key k is a gamer. 273 00:12:53.320 --> 00:12:56.200 He raises to the moment. I'm really looking forward a 274 00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:58.440 big game from him. But I got a question for 275 00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:02.120 Steve Sacks. When you were a rookie, I don't know 276 00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:04.639 if you recalled, there was an interview after a multi 277 00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:07.720 hit game that you had with Jerry Doggett and he 278 00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:11.000 asked you, hoping to surprise you, who's leading the league 279 00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:14.000 in hits, and you came back with, well, I am. 280 00:13:14.759 --> 00:13:16.639 And then he changed his tone and he became kind 281 00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:18.120 of fatherly and he goes, well, if you weren't that 282 00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:19.840 go to your head, I'm taking you to the woodshed. 283 00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:21.879 And I was wondering, did he ever take you to 284 00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:23.440 the woodshed? Do you remember that moment? 285 00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:27.240 Yeah, I don't remember it. It sounds like. Look, I mean, 286 00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:29.879 here's the thing about that is and you can imagine 287 00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:32.480 what it's like today. But the transfer of information is 288 00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:34.879 so prevalent. Every time you walk in the ballpark as 289 00:13:34.919 --> 00:13:37.679 a player, you're there during batting practice, they have all 290 00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:40.320 those things on the board. It's everywhere. You can't like 291 00:13:40.519 --> 00:13:42.559 not know it. I mean, you know, we used to 292 00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:45.639 read the papers then, so the papers would everybody, you know, 293 00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:47.799 everybody knew it. That's kind of the world you live in. 294 00:13:47.919 --> 00:13:49.919 I mean, I didn't care if I was if I 295 00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:52.039 was leading the league and hits great. If I wasn't, 296 00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:55.159 you know, that's great too. But it is what it is. 297 00:13:55.279 --> 00:13:57.159 And I didn't mind saying that. I was just being 298 00:13:57.200 --> 00:13:57.720 honest with him. 299 00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:02.639 That's great. I appreciate it. Yeah, well go show Hey 300 00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:05.440 he's superhero.

I feel like everybody 307 00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:25.639 else does. Nervous about our guy on the bump, that is, 308 00:14:25.879 --> 00:14:28.480 you know how low trouble in the first inning. Well, 309 00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:31.759 how can you how can you not feel nervous about that? 310 00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:32.240 Right? 311 00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:32.879 Saxy? 312 00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:36.480 Yeah?

You're feeling good, Saxy, because you know, 314 00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:42.440 the Dodgers are gonna put together some really really good 315 00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:46.320 at bats and they're gonna make Darvish work. And you're right, 316 00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:48.759 you gotta be ready to hit and be aggressive. And 317 00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:54.360 we're all talking about nervous about uh Yosi, you know, 318 00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:57.200 getting out of the first inning. That's the whole common theme. 319 00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:00.759 I want you to talk to Prior, and I think 320 00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:04.720 this guy needs to throw a short simulated first inning 321 00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:08.240 in the pen before he even walks out. I got 322 00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:12.720 him throwing a fifteen pitch simulated first inning before he 323 00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:15.679 comes out and joins his mates and the dugout and 324 00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:18.240 he'll be good to go. Somebody out to call Prior 325 00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:21.120 and have him, have him set that up and if 326 00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:23.720 you know, at the cost him one inning at the 327 00:15:23.799 --> 00:15:25.879 other end of the ball game, that's okay because you 328 00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:28.360 got a you got a great group of guys arms 329 00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:30.960 come in and shut these guys down like they did 330 00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:34.000 last game. Can you can you call Pryor set that up? 331 00:15:34.159 --> 00:15:34.720 Sack Bill? 332 00:15:34.919 --> 00:15:38.360 Hang on, hang on, I'm going through my rolodex mark 333 00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:41.200 Pryor got umber if I needed Okay, look you know 334 00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:44.639 what and I okay. So here's here's the answer to 335 00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:48.799 that is he does that before every start. It's called 336 00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:53.440 warm ups, and he's he's throwing you know, he's trying 337 00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:55.600 to hit the sides, he's working his off speed pitches. 338 00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:58.519 He's working both sides of the plate. That's called warm up. 339 00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:00.799 And they do that. They they aim for a certain 340 00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:03.480 spot on every pitch. Every pitch means something warming up. 341 00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:04.679 So yeah, he's already doing that. 342 00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:07.759 Eight six, six, nine, eighty seven, two five seventy is 343 00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:09.759 the number that'd be something. By the way, if he 344 00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:13.080 threw a sim inning in the bullpen and then it 345 00:16:13.159 --> 00:16:15.960 came out and acted like it was inning two, or. 346 00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:18.159 He came out and he got trashed because he was tired, 347 00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:20.039 that's the flip side of it. 348 00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:25.279 Yeah, absolutely, like what happened yosha, Oh yeah the first Yeah, 349 00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:27.200 those guys really tagged me out there in the bullpen, 350 00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:29.279 just got after me early and off, and I just 351 00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:32.240 lost my mental you know.
