I'm hoping there's a game six, 36 00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:53.079 so you get to come back down to southern California, 37 00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:55.079 we get to see you throughout the first pitch before 38 00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:57.599 Game six. But at the same time, I'm kind of 39 00:01:57.599 --> 00:01:59.359 hoping the series is over before Game six. 40 00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:00.879 Between the two. 41 00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:01.400 Uh. 42 00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:04.120 But you know what's been great is we've had a 43 00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:06.640 nice run of Scam. Yeah, all right, we've had this 44 00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:09.560 to our full. October it's been great, loving it, and 45 00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:12.680 so I would like to continue to the rest of 46 00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:15.039 the week. But if it does get to a point 47 00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:17.639 where Dodgers can slam this thing down to the last game, 48 00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:20.560 get through tonight, and then you know, maybe do that 49 00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:24.120 on Wednesday. Was it Tuesday? Then hey, you know what, 50 00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:25.879 I'd rather have it that way. 51 00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:28.719 It's a situation where the Dodgers have been in and 52 00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:31.719 the reversal down oh two in a best of seven 53 00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:34.360 World series. You mentioned in nineteen eighty one, as you 54 00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:37.560 guys were down two games to nothing, flying back across 55 00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:41.159 the country from New York to La Fernando pitch Game three, 56 00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:44.080 got that win for you guys, then rattled off three 57 00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:46.800 more after that and win that series and six. The 58 00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:49.199 feeling of being down two in a series and making 59 00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:51.800 that flight across the country coming back home like the 60 00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:53.960 Yankees are right, what's that feeling like? 61 00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:56.000 Well, all I remember is I was just happy to 62 00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:58.039 be there. I was you know, I was still young. 63 00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:00.280 I was very young, just got up to the big league. 64 00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:03.520 So to have that impression of what it's like to 65 00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:04.879 be in the big leagues in and of itself, it 66 00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:08.840 was just such a great momentous thing. For me personally, 67 00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:11.800 for you know, something I could really you know, fall 68 00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:14.319 back on later in my career. But being down you 69 00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:16.360 know two to oho not a good not a good 70 00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:19.159 thing to do. But you rally back. And that's what 71 00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:19.879 this team does. 72 00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:22.840 As a team that's up to going in New York, 73 00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:26.280 This Dodger team needs to stay aggressive, needs to stay 74 00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:28.240 aggressive at the plate, needs to continue to put the 75 00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:31.159 pressure on the starters tonight, Clark Schmidt going for the 76 00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:34.000 Yankees to get to that bullpen, because as much as 77 00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.159 Garrett Cole was pitching on Friday night, as once they 78 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:38.240 got him out of the game, they got to the bullpen. 79 00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:41.879 Same thing happening in Game two, once they got a 80 00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:45.080 rodn out of the game, they got to the Yankees bullpen. 81 00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:47.080 I think that's the same sort of approach, which they're 82 00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:49.120 very good at, is working that starting pitcher, you get 83 00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:51.840 that pitch count up, get to that Yankees bullpen. At 84 00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:53.840 the same time, on the revert on the flip side 85 00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:56.319 of it, Walker Bueller, I mean, we need to see 86 00:03:56.360 --> 00:03:58.719 Walker Bueller be like he has this postseason and go 87 00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:00.879 up there and put up zeros for the first game 88 00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:02.879 of three in a row. They can't go to the 89 00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:05.560 bullpen tonight and ask them to get a lot of outs, 90 00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:07.879 because that doesn't set up well for a bull bullpen 91 00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:08.479 game tomorrow. 92 00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:11.680 That's right, that's the disadvantage that the Dodgers have a 93 00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:13.840 weak link, if you can say that in the arm 94 00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:15.879 or not not in the personnel, in the performance of 95 00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:18.279 the team. I'm just saying the taxing effect that would 96 00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:20.439 have on the bullpen. As you get past that. Now 97 00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:23.120 you're talking about the latter part of the series and 98 00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:27.079 having a well rested bullpen is optimal for this team. 99 00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:29.759 So Walker, Bill are going to go out tonight, He's 100 00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:32.879 going to have that killer mentality. You put the foot 101 00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:35.000 on the throat and you don't let them up. This 102 00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:37.639 is where you really have to demoralize this team and 103 00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:40.279 let that animal instinct come out where you just pound 104 00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:44.079 these guys down, don't let up. Whatever you do, don't 105 00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:47.399 look past Game three. That's very critical. Don't look past 106 00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:49.800 Game three. Go to this game right now and hammer 107 00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:50.279 these guys. 108 00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:53.079 Let's hear from the Game three starter Walker Bueler yesterday 109 00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:56.639 at Yankee Stadium talking to the media in getting preparation 110 00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:57.639 for Game three tonight. 111 00:04:57.839 --> 00:04:59.399 I think in any of these kind of big game 112 00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:02.480 scenarios talk about it's all the momentum and the hooplah 113 00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:05.959 and all that stuff. I think it's just learning kind 114 00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:09.160 of how to embrace that. I think pretty early and 115 00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:12.120 kind of my career I learned how to do that 116 00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:14.040 in some way. It hasn't always worked out very good, 117 00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:17.639 but I think that's the big mental hurdle, and then 118 00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:19.399 it's kind of the same game, just on a little 119 00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:21.199 bit bigger stage, you know. I think at the end 120 00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:23.800 of the day, it's it's kind of that weaving what 121 00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:25.959 we do well versus what they don't do so well. 122 00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:28.079 And I think both those guys that did a really 123 00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:30.040 good job of kind of going to their strengths when 124 00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:34.240 they needed to. So yeah, they both did really good jobs. 125 00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:36.360 And you know, I think at the end of the day, 126 00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:39.560 this game, at least from our perspective, is executing what 127 00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:42.399 we're trying to do and kind of expecting that to 128 00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:42.759 work out. 129 00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:43.000 Well. 130 00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:45.160 Yeah, I've never thrown any game other than Game three 131 00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:48.279 in the World Series, so kind of familiar. 132 00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:48.759 That way a little bit, but. 133 00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:52.800 Obviously was we were here earlier in the year, but 134 00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:55.680 I didn't throw, so never thrown here, so it'll be 135 00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:58.360 exciting and in Game three of the World Series. It 136 00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:01.000 doesn't get more you know, excited. I mean, to be 137 00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:03.480 honest with this, whole thing has been right this year 138 00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:06.759 in particular, but kind of my career in general. This 139 00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:10.800 is my third World Series, and I think anybody the 140 00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:12.600 plays this game for any amount of time would be 141 00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:15.519 happy to have played in three of them. So I'm 142 00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:19.199 looking forward to doing it again and hopefully coming out successful. 143 00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:22.879 I think that's important to remember Dodger fans. Walker Buehlers 144 00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:27.639 pitched in two previous World Series seven or twenty eighteen 145 00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:30.040 against the Boston Red Sox. He pitched in Game three, 146 00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:33.240 that long seven hour game, didn't factor the decision, but 147 00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:35.800 pitched well against the Red Sox. He just alluded to 148 00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:38.480 twenty twenty, he pitched in the World Series Game three 149 00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:41.160 against the Tampa Bay Rays, and he would pitch six 150 00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:44.319 innings at one run on three hits, struck out ten 151 00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:47.439 in a Game three win over the Tampa Bay Rays. 152 00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:50.759 And now tonight another Game three starts. So you talk 153 00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:53.959 about a postseason pitcher, the confidence of Walker Buehler. I 154 00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:56.199 like the fact that he's been here now, not once, 155 00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:58.480 not twice, but this is his third time pitching in 156 00:06:58.519 --> 00:06:59.079 a World Series. 157 00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:01.279 Yeah, this is a guy that you want in Game three. 158 00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:03.319 This is the situation that is not going to be 159 00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:06.600 too big for him. The fact that Walker Bueler had 160 00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:09.399 to really struggle this year and he's starting to really 161 00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:12.399 ramp up now and you're seeing what's really good about him. 162 00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:14.959 It could work in his favor that now he's really 163 00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:18.600 hitting his stride and so the moment again won't be 164 00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:20.680 too big for Walker Bueler, and that's very important. He's 165 00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:24.600 going to, as he said, embrace this time. And if 166 00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:27.680 there's anybody on the team I could pick to pitch 167 00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:29.600 Game three, it's him. So they're in a good shot. 168 00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:31.120 They're in a good position right now. 169 00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:34.360 Eight sixty six, nine eighty seven, two five seventy is 170 00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:37.480 our number. Let's go to Rudy in La. It's next 171 00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:39.959 up with Saxon, Kates and Am on this Monday morning 172 00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:40.800 before Game three. 173 00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:45.720 Hi, Rudy, good morning, Tim. Thank you for taking my call. Yeah, 174 00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:48.399 I was just going to tell you that I was 175 00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:53.680 there on Friday night and it was magical. It was emotional. 176 00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:57.879 A lot of when when the Yankees score there it 177 00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:01.319 was three to two, A lot of Dodger employees were 178 00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:04.399 like crying and everything, and then we were worried. But 179 00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:08.600 then when they hit that grand slam man, it couldn't 180 00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:12.199 bet that. It was just like everybody started hugging everybody. 181 00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:14.600 You didn't even know who you were hugging. You were 182 00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:15.439 just hugging everybody. 183 00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:17.199 I may hugged you, Rudy. I was hugging guys and 184 00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:19.120 chess bumping the people. I'm not even been you. 185 00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:20.120 Were you on the loads. 186 00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:24.720 Level, No, sir, I was over there like a reserve. Okay, 187 00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:29.399 all right, but it was it was beautiful. I look, 188 00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:32.080 my dad is a big Yankee fan, and as soon 189 00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:34.120 as the dodge is one, I took off and went 190 00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:36.240 to his house. He didn't want to open the door. 191 00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:40.799 Oh did I assume right? 192 00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:45.000 But I was really happy. Thank you guys for taking 193 00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:46.480 my car hoping with tonks. 194 00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:48.200 I appreciate it. Yeah. 195 00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:50.440 The emotions of the game in game one were through 196 00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:52.080 the roof. And then you get to the tenth inning 197 00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:55.320 and Jazz Chisholm does what he does, stealing second, getting 198 00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:59.120 the third, and then scores on the fielder's choice and 199 00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:01.840 they take a three lead and the Dodgers get to 200 00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:03.399 come up in the bottom of the tenth inning, Will 201 00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:06.360 Smith won out first a bat of the bottom half 202 00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:08.679 of the tenth inning, and you're starting to think, Man, 203 00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:11.039 is this twenty seventeen all over again? Is this a 204 00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:13.440 Dodgers team that gets a nice run here and gets 205 00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:15.759 to the postseason and just can't get over the hump, 206 00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:17.639 just can't figure out a way to close out games 207 00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:20.360 late and to get the home run from Freddie Freeman. 208 00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:23.279 I think to me it was more emotional for Dodger fans, 209 00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:25.799 not only the win, but the way they did it 210 00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:29.360 and to feel that exhale of like, oh, okay, good, fine, 211 00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:31.799 we're not cursed, or fine, we can get this done 212 00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:34.519 in the postseason outside the bubble. Okay, fine, we can 213 00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:36.840 beat the Yankees because they gave it to us so 214 00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:38.960 many times over the history of this rivalry that goes 215 00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:42.120 back decades. I mean, it was an exhale for so 216 00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:46.639 many reasons. And I mean again he mentioned that they 217 00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:51.960 motion people hugging people, people crying, people just not knowing 218 00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:52.600 what to do. 219 00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:54.320 I've never seen it before. 220 00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:57.159 I've been to a lot of professional events for sporting 221 00:09:57.279 --> 00:10:02.039 events football, basketball, NBA Champion Lakers championships on the road 222 00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:04.320 at Staples Center, I mean I've seen a lot. 223 00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:06.720 Yeah, I've never seen anything like this before. 224 00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:11.000 Well, how about Rudy And you're talking about sports enthusiasts 225 00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:14.720 splitting families, I mean summer Yankee fansomber Dodger fans and 226 00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:17.360 Rudy going to his dad's house and he getting locked out. 227 00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:20.440 I mean that's kind of tough. But this is no Look, 228 00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:24.120 there's gonna be no asterisk here after this game, after 229 00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:26.559 this series either way. I mean, this is the real deal. 230 00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:28.840 And went the full the full slate, I mean one 231 00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:31.039 sixty two. You have any games and people say how 232 00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:33.000 many games you guys play? Well, one sixty two during 233 00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:36.240 the season. Then you have another season called spring training, 234 00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:39.039 that's what twenty five thirty games, and then you have 235 00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:42.919 another season called you know, postseason, that's another you know, 236 00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:45.679 eleven games you have to win. And so you're looking 237 00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:48.360 at two hundred games if you go the full route, 238 00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:50.559 you know, that's a lot of games. And you know, 239 00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:53.080 double what they have in basketball, double what they have 240 00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:56.759 in hockey and football is what seventeen games, and so 241 00:10:57.360 --> 00:10:59.639 this is there's not even close how many games that 242 00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:02.399 you play as far as the grind goes, I mean, 243 00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:05.000 the grind is the thing in baseball. It's it's not 244 00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:08.000 the impact. You haven't football or hockey, but it's the gud, 245 00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:11.320 the grind the long term. I've had football players and 246 00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:15.039 hockey players ask, how do you guys play one sixty two? Well, 247 00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:17.639 we don't have to run into you know, the sideboards 248 00:11:17.759 --> 00:11:20.840 or run into Nick Bosa or anything like that. So 249 00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:23.000 that's a little bit better. But it is a grind. 250 00:11:23.399 --> 00:11:26.159 It is a marathon, especially if you make it to 251 00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:28.519 the postseason. Think about the Dodgers have to win eleven. 252 00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:31.799 They're gonna end up playing fifteen to twenty games, possibly yeah, 253 00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:34.919 extra after the regular season gets over. So yeah, it's 254 00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:37.200 it's a it's a battle of attrition to see who 255 00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:39.519 can last and be the healthiest team. It is still 256 00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:41.399 standing when you think about all the injuries the Dodgers 257 00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:44.120 have gone past and gone through, especially in the rotation. 258 00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:47.080 What if they get these guys all back next year, 259 00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:49.200 what are they gonna do? I mean, I mean, this 260 00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:52.480 will be the most stacked pitching staff in the history 261 00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:56.000 of baseball. They'll have two rotations, they will if all 262 00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:58.480 these guys can come back. I mean, can you imagine this? 263 00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:00.799 Tony Gonsolm, we haven't even really talked about his name, 264 00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:05.720 Stone may I mean, forget it, Clayton Kershaw, Kershaw, you know, 265 00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:10.159 Walker Bueller, hundred percent, River Ryan Mayman. He may not 266 00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:12.360 be back for twenty twenty five, he had surgery too 267 00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:15.200 late in the season, but man it uh for yes, 268 00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:17.279 she and even she AND's a guy we forgot about 269 00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:18.679 who is a big part of this team that went 270 00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:21.000 down with an arm injury. So yeah, when these guys 271 00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:23.679 get back and rebuild those elbows, it's gonna be tremendous 272 00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:26.200 twenty twenty five and hopefully at twenty twenty five, looking 273 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:30.360 to repeat as champions after a twenty twenty four championship 274 00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:32.679 and again Dodgers in a good position, up two games 275 00:12:32.679 --> 00:12:35.279 to nothing in this best of seven series. Game three 276 00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:38.759 coming up tonight. Clark Schmidt on the mound for the 277 00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:42.360 New York Yankees. It'll be Walker Bueller for the Dodgers. 278 00:12:42.679 --> 00:12:46.200 Israel and a Rosemead is next up Hi Israel. 279 00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:50.600 Hey, what's up, guys. I'm so excited about this weekend. 280 00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:54.279 Just every Dodger fan, I know, we're just so elated. 281 00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:56.879 And I don't know if anybody's talked about it, but 282 00:12:57.240 --> 00:13:00.320 I think that was some Fernando magic right there, Fornanda. 283 00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:04.159 Giving some magic to Freddie Freeman to get that Grand Slam. 284 00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:06.840 I mean, what do you guys think it was? 285 00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:07.159 Something? 286 00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:09.840 Definitely there Israel, you know, and it feels like if 287 00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:13.639 the Dodgers, you know, I mean, you're talking about the 288 00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:17.039 Gibbee comparisons in the time of night at eight thirty seven, 289 00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:18.879 eight thirty eight and PM, where it was hitting the 290 00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:22.200 same sort of spot and right center field. The similarities 291 00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:25.679 between Freddie Freeman and Kirk Gibson both hobbled with injuries, 292 00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:29.279 certainly different injuries, but yeah, a lot of similaries, a 293 00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:31.759 lot of magic. Maybe the left handed hitters, yeah, both 294 00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:35.000 left handed hitters. The fact that his Dodgers Yankees. I 295 00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:37.080 think that's another reason why it's kind of been put 296 00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:39.559 on that same level as Kirk Gibson. I mean, you 297 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:42.120 have eckers Lea Gibson, you guys, with the team that 298 00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:44.840 nobody gave a shot to. It's going into the series 299 00:13:44.840 --> 00:13:47.200 at least against the apaklan Aes, and then to win 300 00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:49.240 that Game one in the fashion you did to be 301 00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:52.159 one of the most iconic memories in all the sports. 302 00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:54.799 And so now in twenty twenty four, have what Freddie 303 00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:57.879 Freeman did on the stage against the Yankees. I think 304 00:13:57.879 --> 00:13:59.440 that's what kind of puts it near it. It was 305 00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:02.600 magical moment. Certainly, the Dodgers are a different team than 306 00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:04.600 you guys were in eighty eight going into this World 307 00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:09.080 Series expectation wise. But the situation to win Game one 308 00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:12.519 and to be Dodgers Yankees and the hype with all 309 00:14:12.519 --> 00:14:15.279 these superstars, I think that's what puts it at the level. 310 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:18.279 Yeah, it's because it's Dodgers Yankees, and it's East West 311 00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:21.080 Coast and they're making the ultimate comparisons. I mean, I 312 00:14:21.159 --> 00:14:22.720 think the next thing we're going to get into is 313 00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:27.840 the the the Lincoln Kennedy assassinations and now the comparisons 314 00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:30.759 they make between those two things, right, I mean, the 315 00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:34.039 thing about Freddy and Gibby was, yeah, it was. It 316 00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:36.840 was of the moment. And you know, some people say, well, 317 00:14:36.879 --> 00:14:39.840 the Gibbey thing was much more because you know he 318 00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:42.799 was hurt more and blah blah blah. But you know, 319 00:14:42.879 --> 00:14:45.279 Freddie Freeman's was a grand slam. It doesn't get any 320 00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:47.320 bigger than that. I mean, first time ever in the 321 00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:50.639 World Series. Get away from making the comparisons for Kirk Gibson. 322 00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:53.240 This this dude hit a Grand Slam with the game 323 00:14:53.279 --> 00:14:55.120 on the line. I don't know how much bigger it 324 00:14:55.159 --> 00:14:55.679 gets than that. 325 00:14:55.960 --> 00:14:59.840 I ran into Brian Kenney from MLB Network. Yeah no, 326 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.679 wait wait BK b K. I ran into BK as 327 00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:06.200 I was great boxing an analysis. 328 00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:06.480 That's right. 329 00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:08.039 I forgot used to do Friday night fights. 330 00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:09.279 Yeah, he's great at boxing. 331 00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:10.519 IM happy to. 332 00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:12.360 Run into him kind of by the in the by 333 00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:15.279 the media area, the press box after the game was over, 334 00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:18.000 and I stopped to him and I said, actually dropped 335 00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:19.799 her name. I said, I just talked to Steve Sacks 336 00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:21.720 and he said this could be right up there with 337 00:15:21.759 --> 00:15:23.559 Gibe's home running eighty eight. And he stopped and looked 338 00:15:23.559 --> 00:15:23.720 at me. 339 00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:25.519 And he goes, really, he said that. I said, yeah. 340 00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:26.919 I said, he thinks it's right up there. 341 00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:29.159 He goes, yeah, I think it could be. And he 342 00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:31.720 started thinking, I can see the wheels turning about eighty eight. 343 00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:33.360 And then of course a little bit later we started 344 00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:35.960 getting the comparisons time of night, the whole call from 345 00:15:36.039 --> 00:15:38.360 Joe Davis. But in the moment, you know, five minutes 346 00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:41.000 after the home run or after the grand Slam, he 347 00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:42.559 started to thinking about it and he's like he was 348 00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:44.320 nod in his head like, yeah, I can see it now. 349 00:15:44.600 --> 00:15:47.759 And he's a baseball historian. He loves the game of baseball. 350 00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:50.000 But you know, it was kind of fun to bring 351 00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:52.039 it to his attention and to see him thinking about, yeah, 352 00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:54.200 this is and he was kind of not shocked but 353 00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:56.320 kind of shaking his head and approval that yeah, okay. 354 00:15:56.320 --> 00:15:59.039 If Steve Sacks says it's is as good as Gibsons, 355 00:15:59.080 --> 00:16:00.320 then we can all agree that. 356 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:02.600 I mean, it's gush. I mean, what else can you get? 357 00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:04.720 I mean, it's it's right there with that. I wonder 358 00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:06.840 what's gonna what's gonna be the next thing that we're 359 00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:09.480 going to be talking about, something that's going to be 360 00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:12.039 big and grand like that. I you know, that's that's 361 00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:15.159 the great thing about baseball. It presents so many crazy 362 00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:17.799 things that you can't even fathom that we're gonna be 363 00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:20.240 talking about. But I promise you we're gonna be talking 364 00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:23.159 about some great event by the time this thing is over. 365 00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:25.639 It'll be another one.
