Game four Dodgers Mets, 29 00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:33.560 Morongo Casino Dodgers on deck.

A great pitching matchup with Yoshinobiyamamoto 32 00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:44.480 and Jose Kintana coming up tonight in Game four. We'll 33 00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:46.599 dive deeper into this pitching matchup coming up with just 34 00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:48.840 a little bit. Sean Green's gonna join us in less 35 00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:52.120 than thirty minutes. Get his thoughts on this series. Former Dodger, 36 00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:55.719 former New York Mets. Get his thoughts on what he's 37 00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:59.120 seen so far through three games. As the Dodgers now 38 00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:01.920 up two games to one. Game four tonight, David Vasta 39 00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:04.319 will join us here in just a couple of minutes. 40 00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:07.760 Jose Kintana, the left hander, hasn't given up an earned 41 00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:11.400 run in eleven innings so far in this postseason. A 42 00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:15.319 left hander has proven to be pretty problematic for Sho Hey, 43 00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:17.759 o Tani here in the postseason and this Dodgers team 44 00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:20.479 and Nya did it the other day. This is gonna 45 00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:21.840 be This is gonna be a tough one for the Dodgers. 46 00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:24.319 Yeah, it is. And you know, especially the role that 47 00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:28.159 he's been on. The stat that jumps out at me 48 00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:30.000 is the fact that this guy does not give up 49 00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:33.319 home runs. The Dodgers do hit home runs. So I'm 50 00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:36.560 excited to see you know. Is it the immovable object 51 00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:39.360 or the undeniable force. I don't know which one's gonna 52 00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:42.400 come through, but it's gonna be a fun thing to watch. 53 00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:45.159 Can Tana? How long can you have a point five 54 00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:48.199 to seven ERA in your last eight starts and continue that? 55 00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:51.199 I don't know how long that can continue, especially when 56 00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:54.599 you're facing the elite teams in postseason. He's not gonna 57 00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:56.879 face an offense like this, so he'll be exciting to 58 00:02:56.879 --> 00:02:57.560 see this tonight. 59 00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:01.199 Yeah, and this is a jose Kintana who is no 60 00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:04.080 stranger to the big leagues. Guy's been around since twenty twelve, 61 00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:07.520 was really good at one point for the Chicago White Sox. 62 00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:14.400 Has bounced around a lot since twenty twenty with the Cubs, Angels, Giants, Pirates, Cardinals, 63 00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:16.520 and it seemed to have found a home in New 64 00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:20.280 York with the Mets and postseason wise, you know, not 65 00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:24.479 a lot of experience in the postseason for Jose Kintana, 66 00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:27.199 but he's certainly pushed that aside and done very well 67 00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:29.400 in his couple of starts in the Wildcard round and 68 00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:34.360 the NLDS against the Phillies. The Dodgers will have done 69 00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:37.240 okay against him. Over the course of his career, They've 70 00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:39.960 seen him, certainly a lot, so this isn't an unfamiliar 71 00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:42.120 pitcher they're going to see tonight, and certainly not a 72 00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:45.159 guy like Shaman and i I who's reinvented himself and almost 73 00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:46.039 become a different pitcher. 74 00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:46.280 Now. 75 00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:49.520 Yeah, and you know, for what he's been doing, I mean, 76 00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:52.599 look at his season, it's been exactly what his career 77 00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:54.879 has been. It's been a five hundred pitcher with a 78 00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:56.919 pretty good era, so a lot of it. You can 79 00:03:56.919 --> 00:03:59.159 probably lend to the fact that his teams weren't real 80 00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:02.560 prolific in score runs, which kept his you know, his uh, 81 00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:06.159 his one and lost record kind of at kind of lukewarm. 82 00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:08.120 I mean, his career is one O two and one 83 00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:10.840 oh three. I mean, that's it. So he's won as 84 00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:13.319 many as he's lost, and that's what it's been. This year. 85 00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:15.800 He was ten and ten with the three seventy five 86 00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:19.759 his his lifetime careers three seventy four. So it's exactly 87 00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:22.519 what the bubblegum card shows you. But for the last 88 00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:26.399 eight starts, Tim, this guy has been on fire, and 89 00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:30.079 I mean like nobody's full. I mean zero point five 90 00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:33.319 seven e ra in his last eight starts. He's not 91 00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:36.680 facing the weakest teams either. I mean, so, man, I'll 92 00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:38.360 tell you they're gonna have their hands full in the 93 00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:41.959 fact that he's left handed. Uh, you know, probably something 94 00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:44.399 to say in there where it's gonna put some pressure, Yeah, 95 00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:46.639 and maybe try to neutralize the left handed sticks on 96 00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:48.319 the on the on the Dodgers. 97 00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:49.959 Yeah, no doubt. We may not see Gavin Lucks in 98 00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:52.600 the lineup tonight against the left hand or we could, 99 00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:55.560 but we could also see as Chris Taylor inserted into 100 00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:58.199 the lineup, maybe KEYK moves over into the infield and 101 00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:01.319 Andy Pai has it's an opportunity in the outfield. They'll 102 00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:03.759 be interesting to see what they do with that lineup. 103 00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:06.399 Eight sixty six ninety seven two, five seventy, joining us 104 00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:09.240 now from New York City. He was up late last 105 00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:12.079 night doing a great job on all the postgame activities 106 00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:14.399 and Dodger talk. He is the one and only the 107 00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:17.439 best insider out there, and he's our Dodger insider, the 108 00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:19.800 one and only. David Vesta, David, good morning. 109 00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:24.079 I'm just a man, Tim. 110 00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:26.639 Just a mere mortal. We understand that we appreciate you, though, Dave, 111 00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:30.120 last night things if you could have drawn it up 112 00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:31.480 any better, I don't know if you could have the 113 00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:34.279 way the Dodgers got the fore innings from Walker Buehler, 114 00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:38.319 the great bullpen pitching, Key k Hernandez the new Mister October, 115 00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:40.920 and then some home runs late. It was drawn up 116 00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:43.240 and worked out to a t for the Dodgers last night. 117 00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:45.519 Yeah, it really was. 118 00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:48.399 And I just thought early in the game the Dodgers 119 00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:50.879 had a lot of opportunities that they weren't able to 120 00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:54.040 cash in. They had the bases loaded with only one out, 121 00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:57.279 did not get anything, and for Key k to come 122 00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:00.560 up number one. You know, Steve, you know this. Players 123 00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.360 always tell me it's not about the home run, It's 124 00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:06.560 about what happened before the home run, and what happened 125 00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:08.839 before key K's home run in the sixth inning was 126 00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:11.959 Tommy Edmond coming up with a big two out base 127 00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:15.839 hit to keep the inning alive, and then Reed Garrett 128 00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:19.319 had you know, it seemed like the game was speeding 129 00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:22.519 up on him, and he boked Edmund to second base, 130 00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:26.360 And obviously that's an advantage if a runner is able 131 00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:29.720 to relay any signs to the hitter from second base, 132 00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:34.000 which is very much in between the lines. Okay to do. 133 00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:37.079 And then key K hits a home run off of 134 00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:41.199 rig garrett split fingered fastball, the first time this year 135 00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:44.319 anybody has done that. So I thought that was a 136 00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:47.600 huge sequence of events. And then for the Dodgers to 137 00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:51.439 be able to pile on really rewarded Dave Roberts with 138 00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:53.639 the way he managed early in the game because he 139 00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:57.000 was betting on his offense to score more runs so 140 00:06:57.040 --> 00:06:59.959 he wouldn't have to use more of his high leverage release, 141 00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:03.000 so he gets away with only using trying in and 142 00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:04.279 coopec last night. 143 00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:05.000 Yeah. 144 00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:07.000 I don't know about you, Tim, but Dave good to 145 00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:09.639 be with you this morning, Tim, you know, talking about 146 00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:11.720 you know David back there in New York. Doesn't he 147 00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:14.519 look like a kind of a New York guy. He 148 00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:17.319 looks like he would blend in very well with very 149 00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:21.000 nice crowd. He's you know, he's very handsome guy, well spoken, 150 00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:24.800 more sophisticated than most of us, you can you know that? 151 00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:27.560 And so I think nobody has ever said that about me. 152 00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:28.720 It's him. 153 00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:31.160 Well there, anyway, David, Enough of the enough of that. 154 00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:35.079 I wanted to talk about this, uh, this this great 155 00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:37.680 thing about the Dodgers. Uh and and the pitch, and 156 00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:39.680 of course everybody's talking about it in New York. I 157 00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:41.800 got some of my friends calling me from back there. 158 00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:45.480 But that breaking ball that Bueller threw to Lindor just 159 00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:48.120 kind of set the world on fire for for the Dodgers. 160 00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:51.519 Threw it at a very very you know, Chancy time 161 00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:54.360 you talk about a guy with some called hoonus, That's 162 00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:58.040 what I'm talking about right there. Walker Bueller looks like 163 00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:01.399 a guy at the moment and his stock is surging 164 00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:04.079 right now, I mean doing it in big time fashion. 165 00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:08.279 He's got the swag, he's attacking hitters and his stuff 166 00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:09.839 looks fantastic. 167 00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:14.040 Right And isn't that the difference between last night and 168 00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:17.079 what we saw from him in San Diego? That second 169 00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:19.600 inning blew up on him in San Diego, and that's 170 00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:22.639 been kind of his issue this season where he pitches 171 00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:26.160 well but has one inning that goes off the rails, 172 00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:29.600 whether it's plays not being made behind him or him 173 00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:32.320 not being able to get swing and miss. That second 174 00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:36.559 inning could have gone sideways on him. Bases loaded, Francisco 175 00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:41.159 Lindor coming up, and he was able to really pitch 176 00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:44.559 his way out of that jam by not trying to 177 00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:47.600 have his ego get in the way and bully him 178 00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:50.639 with a fastball that isn't the same anymore. He was 179 00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:52.799 able to do to Lindor what he did all night 180 00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:57.240 last night, use his slider, use his curveball, and then 181 00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:01.600 have that fastball play up bigger than what it really was. 182 00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:04.919 It was ninety three, but because Lindor was seeing a 183 00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:08.360 lot of off speed pitches, it just exploded on him. 184 00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:11.600 And that was huge for not only the Dodgers, but 185 00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:14.000 for Bueller to get out of that jam and you know, 186 00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:16.639 not give back to two runs the Dodgers that scored 187 00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:18.000 the inning prior day. 188 00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.039 Want to give a little love to Maximunsey for what 189 00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:22.120 he did last night. Moved up in the order to 190 00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:26.039 the clean up spot five times on base, two for 191 00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:29.120 two of the home run, but three walks and you 192 00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:31.799 go back to the game before continuing to get on base. 193 00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:34.200 He's been a different looking hitter at the plate, a 194 00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:36.200 more patient hitter in the box. 195 00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:37.720 Yeah. 196 00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:42.919 Now eight consecutive plate appearances with reaching home runs, walks, 197 00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:46.639 and capped off last night's great game with a home 198 00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:48.639 run in the top of the ninth inning. So Max 199 00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:53.159 Monsey has reached an eight consecutive plate appearances and that's 200 00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:56.360 huge for the Dodgers because they need that presence in 201 00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:59.320 the middle of the order doing what Max Mounsey does, 202 00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:02.600 making the pitch your work, keeping the line moving, and 203 00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:06.200 at times doing a lot of damage. So it was 204 00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:08.519 really great to see Max. The last couple of games 205 00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:11.840 start to look like the monthly of old playoff pasts 206 00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:15.639 and for the Dodgers and monthsie, you know, this is 207 00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:19.559 a this is what makes the Dodgers lineup that much longer. 208 00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:22.799 So yeah, next month, he had a really good game, 209 00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:23.200 no doubt. 210 00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:25.600 Yeah. Uh, David, I want to talk about the other 211 00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:26.399 side for a second. 212 00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:27.000 Uh. 213 00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:30.559 When Reid Garrett gives up the home run to to Kik, 214 00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:33.840 what is it with the smile and the smirk on 215 00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:36.840 his face when he's in the dugout looking at the camera. 216 00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:40.519 He's acting like this was a big joke. I mean, 217 00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:43.320 what is a smile on the smirk about you? Just 218 00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:46.320 you just got shoved and he thought it was a joke, 219 00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:49.279 thought it was funny. I couldn't. I couldn't believe that attitude. 220 00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:51.320 I don't know what that is, the way he deals 221 00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:53.600 with it or what, but I thought that was a 222 00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:56.440 bit creepy and when that happened, and anyway, I wanted 223 00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:59.120 to get your taken on that. But also about Kintana, 224 00:10:59.159 --> 00:11:01.559 where is this coming from? The guy's got a point 225 00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:04.799 fifty seven era in the last eight starts. You know, 226 00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:07.600 he's not facing the bottom of the barrel here in postseas. 227 00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:10.159 I can't believe that this guy is just killing it. 228 00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:12.000 He's a five hundred pitcher in his career. 229 00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:18.120 Yeah, it's pretty interesting how he has found his old 230 00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:20.960 self again with the White Sox. But Steve, if you 231 00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:22.519 want me to try to get into the head of 232 00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:26.159 Keik Hernandez, number one, that seems very scary. 233 00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:29.639 And number two, I have no chance of diagnosing what's 234 00:11:29.679 --> 00:11:30.759 going on in his head. 235 00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:35.200 But you know, everything whatever he's doing in that dugout 236 00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:38.799 is whatever the reason he's able to perform on this 237 00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:42.679 big stage. He has no fear, and you know, he 238 00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:45.480 finds a way to go to different places to make 239 00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:48.480 this feel like any other game, even though he knows 240 00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:52.000 it's it's a huge stage. So he was itching to 241 00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:55.240 get into the starting lineup during the NLDS. It's one 242 00:11:55.240 --> 00:11:57.159 thing to itch and say you can do it. It's 243 00:11:57.200 --> 00:11:59.519 another to back it up, which he has done. 244 00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:01.159 What did he? Yeah? 245 00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:03.120 Go ahead? Sorry that no, go ahead? 246 00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:03.879 No, No, what do you got? 247 00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:04.080 No? 248 00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:05.080 I was just gonna say when now? 249 00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:06.799 What you got? Saxy? 250 00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:10.120 When they asked him about you know, you know how 251 00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:12.240 you guys doing this, and he says, well, are we 252 00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:14.120 being recorded right now? He says, well, because we don't 253 00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:16.200 give a blank. You know, I thought that was a 254 00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:19.159 great answer. I loved it, all right. 255 00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:21.480 That's there everything I say now when I walk by him, 256 00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:22.039 are we live? 257 00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:25.879 Are we live? About him? 258 00:12:25.960 --> 00:12:27.120 What are you going to say about the next guy? 259 00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:28.799 Until I rudely interrupted. 260 00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:32.200 You No, I mean Kintana, Like, I don't understand why 261 00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:34.720 he's this good, but I can tell you the Dodgers 262 00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:39.200 are really good against lefties, and I could tell you uh, KEYK. 263 00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:43.000 Speaking of keyk Hernandez, his first big playoff game was 264 00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:48.279 Game five of the twenty seventeen NLCS against the Cubs, 265 00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:51.120 and who was starting that game. It was Jose Kintana. 266 00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:55.320 So the Dodgers are not intimidated by Kantana a night 267 00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:58.240 game as well. For a lefty in this ballpark, he 268 00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:02.320 should be human, but he's obviously doing something right. But 269 00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:04.720 the Dodgers are doing a lot of things right, and 270 00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:08.240 it feels like they have the Mets in a very 271 00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:11.039 vulnerable position coming into the game tonight. 272 00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:13.440 Dave, I want my final thing. I take a step 273 00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:16.240 back and looking at this Dodgers team and the way 274 00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:19.039 they've played, but certainly the way they're acting and their 275 00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:22.159 things they're saying before and after games. This is a 276 00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:24.919 team that certainly I feel is playing with a little 277 00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:26.679 bit of a chip on their shoulder. And how are 278 00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:29.320 they're getting their motivation? I don't know, but to hear 279 00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:33.159 Max Munsey, Keith Hernandez, every player last night after this 280 00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:36.320 win talk about it's all about us, it's we We're 281 00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:38.480 playing for each other. This is a team that has 282 00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:41.919 completely bought into each other for this postseason run. 283 00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:47.039 Yeah, they're playing for each other. Like I said a 284 00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:50.519 few times before, I've been told that the turning point 285 00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:54.799 for the team was a getting together before the first 286 00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:57.879 round of the playoffs started and not making it seem 287 00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:00.360 like it was a bad thing to have five days off, 288 00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:03.519 but turning it into a positive. And b when Walker 289 00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:08.320 Bueler had that second inning in San Diego and started 290 00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:11.480 to throw things in the dugout and ta Oscar Hernandez 291 00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:14.759 hit that Grand Slam, that showed there was something different 292 00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:18.120 about this team, and that made this team believe. And 293 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:21.799 after they beat the Padres, quite honestly, they probably feel 294 00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:25.600 they could beat anybody because that was right now the 295 00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:29.159 toughest roadblock between them and the World Series. And I 296 00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:32.159 really don't see any team stopping them. And I'm not 297 00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:36.039 just saying that because this is the Dodgers Radio, I 298 00:14:36.159 --> 00:14:38.399 travel with the team. It's not because of that. This 299 00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:42.480 is the first time since twenty seventeen or twenty twenty 300 00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:45.960 that I'm a firm believer that no team can stop 301 00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:49.039 the Dodgers on their way to a World championship, even 302 00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:50.840 those pinstripe Yankees. 303 00:14:51.399 --> 00:14:53.519 David, I just wanted to make a comment, and I'll 304 00:14:53.559 --> 00:14:57.080 be out is I just wanted to kind of you 305 00:14:57.519 --> 00:15:00.399 jump on what you said about this team and something 306 00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:03.720 different about the team and whatnot. This team plays like 307 00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:06.879 they're a not very Their attitude is like they're not 308 00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:09.360 a very talented team and they have to scrap and 309 00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:12.639 claw for everything. That's kind of like the attitude I have. 310 00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:17.519 This team is so damn hungry and they're talented, which 311 00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:20.720 is a really scary thing to behold if you're going 312 00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:23.639 against the Dodgers. And we've talked about this earlier in 313 00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:27.000 the program today, but since we're on this issue, there's 314 00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:29.919 something different about this team. I can't explain it. I 315 00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:33.240 can't really point there's too many things to point out. 316 00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:36.759 I guess you'd say, but the team wants it extremely bad. 317 00:15:36.919 --> 00:15:40.080 And that's that's the biggest thing I see with this team. 318 00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:42.440 As great as they are, as hitting home runs, as 319 00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:45.080 great as a pitching performances have been, like Walker Bueller 320 00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:48.080 did last night, it pales in comparison to what the 321 00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:51.279 IT factor is. That it factor on this team is enormous. 322 00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:54.799 Yeah, I feel like the it factor, Steve is the 323 00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:57.159 guys that have been here before. Right last night, it 324 00:15:57.240 --> 00:16:00.000 was Bueller, was Moncy, it was k k the Dodgers 325 00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:02.600 have a really good team. It feels like everybody always 326 00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:04.840 talks about who they're playing and gives them a lot 327 00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:08.080 of credit, but don't realize that the Dodgers are the 328 00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:11.559 team nobody wants to play. And Keith a Hernandez has 329 00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:15.759 said this repeatedly. He wants a parade. In twenty twenty, 330 00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:18.559 they did not get a parade. They want a parade 331 00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:21.159 this time, and it would be the first Dodger parade 332 00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:24.919 in downtown LA since Steve Sacks and the eighty eight 333 00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:28.240 Dodgers who beat the Mighty Mets right here in New York. 334 00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:30.960 Wow, it's fitting. It's got to happen. 335 00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:33.559 David. We appreciate it. Thanks for getting up with us 336 00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:36.240 this morning. It's gonna be another long day, but hopefully 337 00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:38.279 a day in which the Dodgers take care of business. 338 00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:40.559 It could take a three to one series lead in 339 00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:42.919 this NLCS. We appreciate it. We'll be hearing from you 340 00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:43.559 throughout the day. 341 00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:46.440 Yep, thanks David, Jeevez Tim I'm not a longshoreman.
