Is the Dodgers win in San 17 00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:03.840 Diego Last night eight nothing, They've beat the Padres. Mookie 18 00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:08.959 Betts goes deep, Will Smith a bomb, Gavin Lux goes deep. 19 00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:12.840 The Dodgers bang out twelve hits. Eight of the nine 20 00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:17.680 starters get base hits. Last night Showyotani goes one for three, 21 00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:21.200 couple of walks on base three times. It Oh yeah. 22 00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:25.000 The Dodgers bullpen. Everyone that came out of that gate 23 00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:29.159 last night put up a zero, from Ryan Brasier to 24 00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:31.760 Blake Trning to land and Neck in the ninth inning 25 00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:35.640 and everybody in between as the Dodgers force a decisive 26 00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:39.079 Game five tomorrow night at Dodgers Stadium, Saxy. The more 27 00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:41.120 I talk about it and hear about it this game five, 28 00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:43.359 the more and more I'm getting fired up about what 29 00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:46.640 the atmosphere is gonna be like at Dodgers Stadium. It 30 00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:48.599 was the biggest game this year. 31 00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:52.079 Yeah, it's gonna be amazing, There's no question about it. 32 00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:55.319 And the good thing is that the tide has turned, 33 00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:58.640 or the momentum has shifted. You can't see it. 34 00:01:59.359 --> 00:01:59.799 You can't. 35 00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:02.480 It doesn't have a color or anything, but you can 36 00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:05.200 certainly feel it, and you can feel it through the airwaves. 37 00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:07.480 You can feel it when you're watching TV. The swag 38 00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:10.280 is there, but it's not on the shirts of the Padres. 39 00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:11.319 It's over with the Dodgers. 40 00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:11.520 Now. 41 00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:14.439 Is there such thing as game to game momentum? Because 42 00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:17.319 the Padres had the momentum going in to last night 43 00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:19.280 and then the Dodgers snatched it from him. 44 00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:24.919 That's because you had really an epic event. You saw 45 00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:29.560 a complete sea change in Mookie Bets, and I mean 46 00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:33.719 that completely because once, like Muki said, he saw one fall, 47 00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:37.680 the confidence was reinstated back into his heart, and man, 48 00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:40.919 he is off. And if that guy gets off, watch 49 00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:44.439 out because he is very dangerous. And we're gonna see 50 00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:47.280 it now. I think we're just seeing the start of 51 00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:48.280 something up again. 52 00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:51.879 And we'll find out maybe later today, maybe tomorrow, who 53 00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:55.000 the Dodgers will in fact throw out there for the 54 00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:58.599 Game five starter. Could it be Yoshi Yamamoto. Could it 55 00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:02.840 be Jack Flaherty, Could it be another bullpen game that 56 00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:05.800 Dave Roberts elects to go to. He wouldn't tip his 57 00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:08.719 hand last night when asked after the Game four win 58 00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:11.639 what his plans are. We expect you Darvish to be 59 00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:15.000 the starter for the Padres in game five. He started 60 00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:17.800 already against the Dodgers in this series, in Game two 61 00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:21.680 at Dodgers Stadium. It was very successful against the Dodgers. 62 00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:25.240 But the Dodgers have options now with two rested starters 63 00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:28.680 in Flaherty and Yamamoto ready to go. As you said, 64 00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:32.520 it'll be all hands on deck, including the Dodgers relievers. 65 00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:36.280 Freddie Freeman. We hope to have his ankle healed miraculously 66 00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:39.039 and ready to go for Game five tomorrow, so we 67 00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:41.879 will find out and we are excited about this game 68 00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:44.159 five tomorrow night. Let's quickly go back in here again 69 00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:46.439 and we played it for you earlier. Dave Roberts his 70 00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:49.479 postgame thoughts after Game four last night and what was 71 00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:52.039 a game in which he pushed all the right buttons 72 00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:52.680 for the Dodgers. 73 00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:53.560 Mooch has been big. 74 00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:56.719 Obviously, we got a lot of good players, but it's 75 00:03:56.719 --> 00:04:00.280 not on one player, clearly, And today Mookie shine. Last 76 00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:02.120 night Mookie shined, and today we'll. 77 00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:02.599 Had a big hit. 78 00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:05.319 So that's a great thing about having good players, and 79 00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:07.439 you know they don't need to do anything more than 80 00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:09.759 they're capable of and just kind of do what their potential, 81 00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:12.599 their their abilities allow for. And that's what they did tonight. 82 00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:15.879 They've you've talked a lot about fight, especially over the 83 00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:17.560 last week or so, like, how pleas were you. 84 00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:22.079 Just kind of what these guys did. Proud I think 85 00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:24.519 that you know, when you go through the regular season, 86 00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:28.399 a lot of things are sort of calculated, and you 87 00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:30.480 know there's a lot of variables because you're playing for 88 00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:34.399 the longer view, but when you get into the postseason, 89 00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:39.360 it's a street fight and it's about people players, and 90 00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:40.759 your desire has got to be more. 91 00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:41.480 Than your opponent. 92 00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:44.759 And for me to see our guys go through what 93 00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:48.759 they've been through and respond the way they have really 94 00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:50.199 makes me excited about Game five. 95 00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:52.920 As you guys mapped out your pitching plan heading into 96 00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:54.879 this one, was Flairity an option. 97 00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:56.519 He was, he was the last. 98 00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:59.639 He was a late option if something, you know, funky 99 00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:02.480 happy and guys weren't as efficient as possible. But now 100 00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:03.720 he's a live for Game five. 101 00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:06.040 As well, with the importance of getting an early lead 102 00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:08.040 in a game like this. How much of a tone 103 00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:10.879 setter was Mookie's home run? And you know there's a 104 00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:13.279 lot going on with him on Monday, Just can you 105 00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:15.279 just talk a little bit about how he responded to 106 00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:17.720 this all the noise, I guess really. 107 00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:21.519 I think you know responded really well. I've always tell 108 00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:24.399 the guys the game honors you, and the work that 109 00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:27.639 he's put in grinding in the cage and extra hitting 110 00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:31.360 certainly has paid off. And your question about striking first 111 00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:34.319 when you come on the road, it is important. Hitting 112 00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:37.680 is still hard. You can't just book up book, you know, 113 00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:40.279 a homer or a crooked number in the first inning. 114 00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:43.279 But I do believe that the intent even show Hayes 115 00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:46.040 first swing up tonight, you know, was aggressive on the 116 00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:48.680 fastball and for us to get to cease early get 117 00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:51.519 to their pen. Obviously it gave us momentum. But yeah, 118 00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:52.720 it started with Mookie right there. 119 00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:55.600 All right, there's Dave Roberts post game last night after 120 00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:58.600 the Dodgers ate. Nothing shut out over the Padres coming 121 00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:00.720 up at the bottom of the arrow. We'll join us, 122 00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:03.720 get his thoughts on this Dodgers team going into Game five, 123 00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:06.120 and Saxy, let's go back out to the phones. Eric 124 00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:08.759 in Hollywood has been waiting patiently. Eric in morning. 125 00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:14.560 How you doing, God, jer good shood, dude, good morning. 126 00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:19.639 Who Yes, those bats came alive last night. Man, geek 127 00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:23.360 it you shine bright like you do in the postseason. 128 00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:27.839 Of course, tvvy sax ty man. I am worried man, of. 129 00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:29.279 Course, because we've seen this before. 130 00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:32.600 We have, but we never stopped believing. 131 00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:35.160 We bleed bloom in. 132 00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:38.480 La And I'm looking forward to Friday and having our 133 00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:43.120 house rockets. They giving the Pats a nice warm welcome 134 00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:47.360 on their way in and Saxony, Please, what are your 135 00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:48.319 keys to that game? 136 00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:49.639 And who woul you start? 137 00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:49.920 Scause? 138 00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:52.120 I'm excited, man, I can't wait for it. 139 00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:54.439 Thanks a lot, Eric, All right, who would you start 140 00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:57.199 Saxy right now? Day before the game, fresh off of 141 00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:59.759 game four? Game five tomorrow night at five oh eight? 142 00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:03.439 Right now, who do you start? Yamamoto? Flerity, bullpen game? 143 00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:04.439 Your three options? 144 00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:04.800 Okay? 145 00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:09.519 So I would probably start Yamamoto with an extremely short leash, 146 00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:12.360 very very short. I would have no qualms that all 147 00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:14.639 of Dave said, Hey, let's go with another bullpen game. 148 00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:17.519 I'm all in on that too, But I would start Yamamoto, 149 00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:19.279 and I want to see how far we can get 150 00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:21.480 with this guy. What happens if he gives you five 151 00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:24.319 shutdown innings? Now you're sitting really good. You can really 152 00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:27.040 pound him with the bullpen and match up very easily 153 00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:29.720 the last four innings, and it would be well suited 154 00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:31.839 for the next series as well. I know this is 155 00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:35.000 all that matters right now, but I'm going with Yamamoto 156 00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:37.319 with a very very short leash. 157 00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:40.480 I'm going to disagree. I'd go Flarerity. That's my first 158 00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:45.040 gut reaction. The day before Game five, I'd go flarity 159 00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:48.120 because hard throwing right hander, a guy who can go 160 00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:51.759 in there and get ahead in the count and strikeout guys, 161 00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:55.240 and Yamamoto is a guy who can get contact. Struggling 162 00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:58.079 to finish off hitters. Here in the postseason late in 163 00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:02.439 September was Yamamoto. So I go flarity first again. Obviously 164 00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:04.920 short leash, but yama Moto. Let him see the game 165 00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:06.759 a little bit, let him see it develop in front 166 00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:09.360 of him for the first inning or two, and maybe 167 00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:12.519 he comes in and piggybacks jack flairity. Maybe you go 168 00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:14.800 to a left hander, depending on the matchups, and then 169 00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:17.360 go to yama Moto in the second or third inning 170 00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:20.439 and let him soak up three or four innings. I'd 171 00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:22.120 rather have that and let him see the game in 172 00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:24.319 front of him, maybe the lead already for the Dodgers, 173 00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:26.319 and he can settle in a little bit more comfortable. 174 00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:29.360 I just worry about the nerves for yama Mode. I 175 00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:32.200 saw that first start and he was spiking balls, he 176 00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:34.840 was missing his ausbied pitches. It felt to me, you 177 00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:36.360 know who am I, but it kind of felt to 178 00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:39.440 me that he was nervous and the tension got to 179 00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:41.440 him from that playoffs now, all right, Tim whatever? 180 00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:47.799 No, Hey, hey, look the good thing about where Dave 181 00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:50.639 Roberts is he's got options. Now, he's got options, and 182 00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:53.159 so whatever he chooses is going to be the right decision. 183 00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:57.519 I believe that. And hey, the saving grace is your 184 00:08:57.519 --> 00:09:00.399 bullpen is stocked and ready. And the good thing about 185 00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:02.799 this whole thing, if you turn it around, the Dodgers 186 00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:05.159 kind of deemed up that bullpen again. They got they 187 00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:07.320 got the hoeing. I mean they got, you know, a 188 00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:09.360 couple of earned runs and just two thirds and inning 189 00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:11.320 off of him. They were able to get to Wandy 190 00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:14.000 Peralta a little bit. Uh, and certainly they did. They 191 00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:17.000 put a spanking on Dylan Ce. So the Dodgers kind 192 00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:18.960 of got into that bullpen a little bit. And that's 193 00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:19.679 that's a good thing. 194 00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:22.200 Let's go to Richard on the two ten freeway hopefully 195 00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:25.000 ten and two focused on driving, but also focused on 196 00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:27.080 Saxon Kates and a am how you doing Richard. 197 00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:28.679 Good Man? 198 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:29.879 How you guys doing great? 199 00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:30.320 Thank you? 200 00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:32.480 Hey? 201 00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:34.679 So I just want to touch base on this. Uh, 202 00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:38.080 you know, the Dodgers have outscored the Padres thirteen and 203 00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:41.240 nothing ever since. From a Childah's little bush league move there. 204 00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:44.080 Call it you know karma, or call it the you 205 00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:48.039 know the baseball gud looking down. Look, i'll take both 206 00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:50.279 of them, and i'll take that in Game five too. 207 00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:56.399 But they've outscored them thirteen and nothing, just that second inning. 208 00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:59.200 It is interesting, right, It's all I got. You're right, 209 00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:02.039 it is interesting. The baseball gods could be putting it 210 00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:06.000 down on the padres for that Shenanigan play. Smart baseball play, 211 00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:09.960 according to some others, not a great baseball play for many, John, 212 00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:12.399 which is interesting, Saxy. I don't know how that's a 213 00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:14.240 fair that's a fair assessment. 214 00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:16.279 People, So well, he created his own lane. He did 215 00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:18.559 create his own lane. He was running straight to second 216 00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:21.879 base when he saw Freddy Freeman get the ball, he 217 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:25.200 ghastly created another lane and he ran right on the grass. 218 00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:27.240 I mean, that's like going from the four or five 219 00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:29.600 to the twenty two right, you make that hard left. 220 00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:33.559 I mean that's what he did. I mean, seriously, you're 221 00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:35.399 gonna you're gonna say that's creating. 222 00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:35.840 Your own lane. 223 00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:37.919 You just made another lane and it was about three 224 00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:39.960 feet on the grass. I don't know how that's a 225 00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:44.080 fair play. Seriously, I don't know what I don't have 226 00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:46.240 a rule book with me. I don't know the exact rule. 227 00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:49.000 I know about the lane and all that, but it 228 00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:51.279 states in there, Oh, by the way, if you see 229 00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:53.519 to it, that you can get in the path of 230 00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:55.120 the of the throwing lane. You can do that too 231 00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:57.879 by running about six feet to the left and then 232 00:10:57.919 --> 00:11:00.360 having it hit you off your spikey ear, and then 233 00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:01.559 the ball goes in left field. 234 00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:04.200 That's fair play. I can't believe that. Here's why I 235 00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:07.039 feel better as a baseball fan, and you listening right 236 00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:10.879 now should feel better about that play. It's because nobody 237 00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:13.879 really understands the ruling in it. And it's good to 238 00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:16.879 know that as a baseball fan because hearing you talk 239 00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:20.720 about it, Big Poppy a Rod, Derek Jeter, all three 240 00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:22.919 of them are on TV like, yeah, it kind of 241 00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:26.519 feels wrong. Yeah, it doesn't seem like a natural baseball play. 242 00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:28.879 And then I hear a guy like Brett Boone, former 243 00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:31.639 player who's got a podcast and based in San Diego, 244 00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:33.559 so out there with him. He's like, Hey, great play, 245 00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:35.600 that's a great baseball move. And then I read on 246 00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:39.399 Twitter yesterday and Chipper Jones is like, hey, I don't 247 00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:42.600 have a rooting interest in this, But that was interesting 248 00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:46.759 base running for Mandy Machado to hear all you great 249 00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:52.240 baseball players, experts, analysts all kind of like, what was that? 250 00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:55.279 What's the ruling on this? If you guys don't kind 251 00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:56.840 of understand it, then I feel better. 252 00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:59.960 Yeah, I don't. I mean, I just don't get it. 253 00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:02.240 What's the spirit of the rule. That's what I think 254 00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:04.919 you have to take into consideration. And I don't think 255 00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:07.320 the spirit of the rule. I mean, I mean, what 256 00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:10.960 happens if you're in the way of a throw and 257 00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:13.080 you reach up and grab it. Ye say, well, I 258 00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:14.559 thought it was gonna hit me, so I grabbed it. 259 00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:17.600 I mean does that count? I mean, seriously, I don't 260 00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:20.919 get where the spirit of the rule would be. Okay, 261 00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:23.480 if you're I understand, if you've got a lane to 262 00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:25.480 run in and you're just running and you're in the 263 00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:28.080 base path, that it hits you, great, I mean that's fine. 264 00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:30.879 But when you're peeking over your shoulder you see him 265 00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:33.200 feeld it, you're in the running lane, and then you 266 00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:36.480 take three steps to the left on the grass just 267 00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:39.120 so it can hit you. I don't think the spirit 268 00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:42.320 of the rule is meaning that that that's okay. 269 00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:45.240 I just don't believe it. Absolutely, Manuel and Guardena is 270 00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:47.639 next up. Manuel, buddy, how you doing. 271 00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:52.159 Sacks? 272 00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:57.200 And Kate's in the am, brother of Dave and the 273 00:12:57.240 --> 00:13:01.080 man they call the Wall from the Great one eighth Fellas. 274 00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:05.440 It's a beautiful day in La. It's October. It's that 275 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:08.720 October baseball. You got these heavy mornings. The Marine Layer 276 00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:12.720 also gonna have that tomorrow night at dusk. I heard 277 00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:15.399 you guys talking about the factor of the moving up 278 00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:17.879 of the game, and for me, that is a concern 279 00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:20.960 for me. That's why I believe you have to have 280 00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:24.919 guys like Chris Taylor, Key k Hernandez. I would even 281 00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:28.840 go as far as maybe later innings, Austin Barnes. We 282 00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:33.759 need guys who are well versed at Chavez Ravine. This 283 00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:36.519 game is for all the marbles, man, This is what 284 00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:39.919 baseball's about, Sacksye. It feels like when you guys were 285 00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:44.279 going up against the Mets. Man, Why good Eryl Strawberry, 286 00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:48.320 Kevin McReynolds, you know, Kevin Mitchell, all those guys. This 287 00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:50.200 team's staffed like that, man, And. 288 00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:51.639 This is what baseball's about. 289 00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:55.320 That's what I love, man. Game four the Dodgers came 290 00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:58.200 out and showed exactly what they're going to do tomorrow 291 00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:01.120 night as well. I have a firm elise that the 292 00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:03.519 Dodgers just like, well. 293 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:04.399 Who was it a couple months off? 294 00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:06.519 I think Houddie that was like, hey, man, we got 295 00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:10.519 to remember, we're the freaking Dodgers, We're the class of 296 00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:13.639 the NL, We're the freaking Yankees of the West. 297 00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:17.559 And the show goes through here. Remember we're the number 298 00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:18.039 one seed. 299 00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:21.799 So we get done tomorrow night, we get a little rest, 300 00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:25.480 and it's set up man eighty eight all over again. 301 00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:29.879 Baby, let's go Dodgers in five. 302 00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:33.679 All right? Man Well and Guardina Well said, fired up 303 00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:36.440 about Game five tomorrow night.

It was, And you're saying 309 00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:53.759 you predicted yesterday and your keys to the game, the 310 00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:57.240 bullpen and Yokie needed to be big and would be big, 311 00:14:57.519 --> 00:15:01.519 and that's exactly what happened last night. Eight different relievers, 312 00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:06.240 eight different relievers for the Dodgers putting up zeros last night. 313 00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:08.759 That's pretty impressive. The more and more I think about it, 314 00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:11.240 not one guy gave up a run.

I made the tradition. I don't know if 346 00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:47.879 I should be interviewed to our if I should be 347 00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:49.480 interviewing you and Steve Sacks or. 348 00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:56.320 My hero Jose Jose. Last night, you're at Petco Park. 349 00:16:56.799 --> 00:16:59.960 What an environment. That place was ready to erupt, Mookie Beck. 350 00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:02.879 It's quieted very quickly the second batter of the game 351 00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:05.319 with a home run, and then the Dodgers just seem 352 00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:07.319 to get all the momentum back in this series. 353 00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:10.680 After that, we talked about momentum a lot to me 354 00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:13.519 know very well and Saxon knows very well too. Man, 355 00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:17.559 it takes a lot sometimes and it's such a toll, 356 00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:21.799 especially in the postseason when you're facing you know, top pitchers, 357 00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:26.519 top relievers, high leverage situations, and the offense has to 358 00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:28.920 play from behind. It It's it's hard, man, It's like 359 00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:32.720 it's exhausting. I mean, I mean you live it as 360 00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:35.400 a player. You go, well, you know, three runs down 361 00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:37.559 to the first second ending feels like six runs already, 362 00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:39.200 even though you still have a lot of game left. 363 00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:41.680 It's not the same. But then when you take the lead, 364 00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:45.279 especially under the circumstances of dolluers that with a bullpen game, 365 00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:48.640 it really alleviates kind of loosens everybody up.
