WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:04.519 Now your host for playoff Dodger Toss sound Off Angelinos 2 00:00:04.599 --> 00:00:05.599 David Vasse. 3 00:00:08.359 --> 00:00:12.279 We are live at City Field in New York as 4 00:00:12.359 --> 00:00:17.239 the Dodgers are just one win away from the World Series. 5 00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:19.480 Welcome the Dodger Talk. 6 00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:23.600 David Vase with you until ten thirty tonight on the 7 00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:27.000 West Coast at eight six six nine, eight seven two 8 00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:31.120 five seventy. We will hear from Dave Roberts, we will 9 00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:34.640 hear from Mookie Betts, we will hear from Max Monthsey, 10 00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:38.119 and we will hear from Evan Phillips coming up in 11 00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:41.759 the next hour. A tremendous night for the Dodgers, who 12 00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:45.880 have really just shown how good they are and how 13 00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:50.520 they are playing their best baseball of the season, outscoring 14 00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:54.560 the Mets in their three wins twenty seven to two 15 00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:58.679 and outscoring them thirty to eight overall in the first 16 00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:03.079 four games of the series. Really awesome to see the 17 00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:07.760 Dodgers come together at the perfect time. And it's not 18 00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:11.000 just the pitching. I know the relievers have done an 19 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:15.079 outstanding job, but the offense has really taken a lot 20 00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:19.159 of pressure off the starting pitchers and the relievers by 21 00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:23.000 putting up runs early in the game. And that really 22 00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:27.359 has been the trend that has helped Dave Roberts execute 23 00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:32.200 his pitching plan from start to finish, and the high 24 00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:36.519 leverage relievers of Blake Trinan and Evan Phillips and Michael 25 00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:40.560 Kopek have done their job because they have not blown leads. 26 00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:43.519 It's up to them to be able to execute the 27 00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:46.200 plan as well, and they have done that in a 28 00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:50.519 big way. Yamamoto tonight went four and a third innings 29 00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:53.519 and then was relieved by Evan Phillips, who got the 30 00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:58.000 last two outs of the fifth inning Viento Cinelonso and 31 00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:01.560 maybe the best look the Mets had this game was 32 00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:06.719 in the sixth inning when Evan Phillips was misfiring, loaded 33 00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:10.039 the bases with nobody out and was able to get 34 00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:13.560 out of that jam. That was really the last bit 35 00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:16.479 of fight the Mets had. That was their best look 36 00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:19.800 at the game, because after that, the Dodgers were able 37 00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:22.840 to pour it on even more with a two run 38 00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:25.759 home run by Mookie Bets in the top half of 39 00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:28.639 the sixth inning, and when the Mets weren't able to 40 00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:31.599 score in that bottom half of the sixth inning, this 41 00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:35.639 game was over and certainly the Dodgers are very much 42 00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:40.000 in control of this series, just one win away from 43 00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:44.840 the World Series. Eight six, nine, seven, two five seventy 44 00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:49.120 is the phone number. Very impressive. The way the Dodgers 45 00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:54.199 are conducting there at bats. Tonight's starter, Jose Contana is 46 00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:58.560 known to really nibble around the plate and try to 47 00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.919 get hitters to chase pitches, and that's just not what 48 00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:05.639 the Dodgers do. A great example of that is the 49 00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:09.960 man that reached basse in twelve consecutive plate appearances in 50 00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:15.360 this series, Max Monsey. Tonight, Max Monsey saw sixteen pitches 51 00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:18.400 outside of the strike zone. He only offered at two 52 00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:21.240 of them. He fouled one off and he swung a 53 00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:24.360 miss at the other. He finished with three walks tonight 54 00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:29.159 and finishes with twelve with reaching base and twelve consecutive 55 00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:33.800 plate appearances, tying him with Reggie Jackson for that streak 56 00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:38.639 in postseason history. Speaking on Max Mounsey, he just spoke 57 00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:41.560 to the media in the Dodger clubhouse and Sports Net 58 00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:45.800 LA brought it to us relentless offensive tack again, Max. 59 00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:47.639 The way the guys are doing it, Yeah, it was 60 00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:50.680 good up and down the lineup. We're just staying within ourselves, 61 00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:52.639 having good an approach and not trying to do too 62 00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:54.000 much in the bucks for you. 63 00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:56.439 I mean, twelve state at bat's getting on base and 64 00:03:56.520 --> 00:03:57.120 you think about that. 65 00:03:57.319 --> 00:03:59.800 Were you aware of that and just kind of wasn't say, 66 00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:01.680 just quit that bats you've been having personally. 67 00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:04.840 No, I definitely wasn't aware of it, you know, but 68 00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:07.879 it's obviously really cool for me. The most important things 69 00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:10.159 that means I'm getting on base, giving my teammates a 70 00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:12.599 chance to drop me in create and havoc doing anything 71 00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:15.159 I can, and uh, you know, to me, that's just 72 00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:16.519 the most important thing is that I'm having good at 73 00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:18.480 bets and being able to get on base for my guys. 74 00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:19.279 How important one. 75 00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:21.560 Kind against Kintana guy who likes to get guys to chase, 76 00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:24.000 to not chase and stay after the ward rocks if 77 00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:24.199 you do. 78 00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:26.040 The last Yeah, And that was kind of a battle 79 00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:27.480 of you know, who was going to give in first. 80 00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:29.160 He wanted to get us a chase, We wanted to 81 00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:32.439 get him through strikes, and uh, you know it was just, uh, 82 00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:34.439 who was going to be more stubborn and uh, you know, 83 00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:36.360 I feel like we we were about last on that. 84 00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:38.480 And what's the feeling of the clubhouse one one away 85 00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:39.319 from the World Series. 86 00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:42.480 It's it's right now. You know, we're shout out tomorrow 87 00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:45.800 as an OL series. We have prepare, prepare the right way, 88 00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:47.600 do everything the right way, and play our game and 89 00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:50.199 go out there and try to get a win tomorrow. 90 00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:54.079 You know, you guys are playing such a complete baseball 91 00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:56.720 r I know, is this the most complete you've played all season? 92 00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:57.839 Do you think? 93 00:04:57.959 --> 00:04:58.199 Yeah? 94 00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:01.600 Yeah, you know, Uh, the most important thing is just 95 00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:03.720 everyone's you know, understanding the role. 96 00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:04.759 I'm not trying to do too much. 97 00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:07.360 And when you have an entire group of guys that 98 00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:10.519 are buying into that mindset, that becomes pretty special. And 99 00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:11.800 that's what we're able to do right now. 100 00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:13.879 You talked like the last off season, how you guys 101 00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:15.879 digging into the numbers and kind of seeing like teams 102 00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:18.199 that swung freely, you know, with pants, Like was there 103 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:20.240 a temptation to kind of get away from what you 104 00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:22.959 guys do in the regular season at all, approach wise 105 00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:25.439 as a team, and how this scene is kind of 106 00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:28.360 the team wide approach payoffs so far this suckers. 107 00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:30.439 Yeah, you know, there was definitely some talks about it, 108 00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:33.439 but I think the biggest thing was understanding you know 109 00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:36.199 more in depth why that is, and you know it's 110 00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:38.279 it's it's being aggressive on balls in the zone, not 111 00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:40.759 taking balls in his own and you know, not swinging 112 00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:42.639 out of the zone. And you know, I think that's 113 00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:45.040 just a deeper understanding for us and understanding who we 114 00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:47.920 are as a team and what certain pitches we can hit, 115 00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:50.279 what pitches we can't hit. And you know, we've had 116 00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:51.920 an entire lineup being able to buy into the. 117 00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:55.800 All Right, there's Max Muncy who has led the way 118 00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:59.319 for the Dodgers being as patient and selective as they 119 00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:02.560 have been in the first four games of this NLCS 120 00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:05.439 to take a commanding three games to one lead. 121 00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:06.399 And when you. 122 00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:09.920 Talk about just how good they have been with the walks, 123 00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:14.079 the Dodger offense has drawn thirty one walks. Our friend 124 00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:18.000 at MLB, Sarah Langs, tweeted that that is the most 125 00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:22.160 walks drawn in a four game postseason span. Thirty one 126 00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:26.120 walks by the Dodgers in the first four games of 127 00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:28.959 the NLCS. Let's go out to the phones for the 128 00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:31.879 first time tonight. Let's go out to Nick in Wittier. 129 00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:34.279 You're on Dodger Talk Live from New York. 130 00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:38.519 Hi, Nick, Hey, Dave again, Man, I love you so much. 131 00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:41.639 You're the best. And I'll tell you what, Man, these 132 00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:44.839 players are. They're so patient and they're just like because 133 00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:48.199 they've been every four and they're playing great, and they're 134 00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:50.519 just like they're they're calm at the plate, and that's 135 00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:54.000 what I want to see. And Yamamoto look great. You know, 136 00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:56.959 I feel like Dave could gets win one more, one 137 00:06:56.959 --> 00:07:00.360 more inning, but the bullpen is just so dominant, like 138 00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:04.240 you can't do it. And then of course with Tani 139 00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:09.800 and Bet, the stars have been shining, shining bright today. 140 00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:12.680 They really have, Nick, and thank you for the phone call. 141 00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:16.600 And look, I understand that Yamamoto is pitching well tonight. 142 00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:19.959 Yamamoto tonight in four and a third innings only through 143 00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:24.199 seventy three pitches. This was the only game he was 144 00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:29.639 pitching in in this NLCS, So I completely understand asking 145 00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:32.839 the question why didn't Dave Roberts allow him to go 146 00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:38.040 deeper in the game. Look, the expectations are high for Yamamoto. 147 00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:41.319 He's the highest paid pitcher in baseball history. You would 148 00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:43.600 expect him to go a little bit deeper. You would 149 00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:46.800 expect him maybe to pitch more than once in a 150 00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:51.959 seven game series. But are those are the Yamamoto rules 151 00:07:52.079 --> 00:07:55.800 right now? He was facing the lineup for a third time. 152 00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:59.040 Viento's had good swings off of him in his first 153 00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:03.240 two at bats. The Dodgers strength is their bullpen, so 154 00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:08.000 those were the reasons why Dave Roberts decided after Lindore 155 00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:10.000 it's time to go to the bullpen. 156 00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:10.959 He brought in Evan. 157 00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:14.920 Phillips, who was able to get Viento's and Alonzo and 158 00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:18.439 then come back for the sixth inning and got himself 159 00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:21.319 into a Bas's loaded jam with nobody out and was 160 00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:24.160 able to get the last three batters in that Mets 161 00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:28.240 lineup to get himself out of that Bas's loaded jam. 162 00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:32.840 Let's go off to Martinez, California. Kevin, you're on Dodger Talk. 163 00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:35.679 Hi, Kevin, thanks so much for taking my phone call, 164 00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:37.159 my pleasure. 165 00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:40.519 The Dodgers are one win away from the World Series. Kevin. 166 00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:41.440 How does that sound? 167 00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:45.000 Oh man, it sounds so good. I just wanted to 168 00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:48.879 call today to trash people like myself who have been 169 00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:54.559 doubting this team all year. First stinning of the Padres game, 170 00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:57.840 I was a little worried, but you know you are 171 00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:00.559 my patron saint. Of positivity, David. 172 00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:03.120 I want to think, thank you. 173 00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:06.159 I just have a lot of confident. 174 00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:11.840 Of reason, David, and I need reason in my life. 175 00:09:12.039 --> 00:09:15.000 And the Dodgers are lucky to have you. We're lucky 176 00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:18.559 to have you as fans. And let's go Dodgers, Let's 177 00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:19.159 go Blue. 178 00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:20.799 I love it, Kevin. 179 00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:23.279 Thank you for the phone call, and just to let 180 00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:25.799 you know, tomorrow night, the Dodgers are headed to the 181 00:09:25.799 --> 00:09:30.240 World Series. So I called five games at the beginning 182 00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:33.840 of this series. I didn't expect it to go this way, 183 00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:37.080 but the Dodgers. I feel like the Mets are so 184 00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:41.039 down right now. The Dodgers have emptied out City Field 185 00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:44.279 the first two nights, and they were so excited for 186 00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:47.960 this team. They have completely broken the spirit of the 187 00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:51.240 team and the fan base. So I feel like tomorrow night, 188 00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:53.559 Jack Flaherty is going to send the Dodgers to the 189 00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:54.679 World Series again. 190 00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:59.360 Oh the play, hey kid, let's bring it on and again. 191 00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:03.440 Martinez California, just to bring it to people's attention, the 192 00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:09.840 alleged home of the Martini and the actual, verified home 193 00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:11.840 of the Van Gundi Brothers. 194 00:10:12.159 --> 00:10:15.480 I love it, Kevin, Thank you for that. Martinez California 195 00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:16.679 knowledge right there. 196 00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:18.279 I had no idea where that was. 197 00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:21.720 Eight sixty six ninety eighty seven, two five seventy is 198 00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:24.919 the phone number. And the Dodgers are going with Jack 199 00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:28.399 Flaherty tomorrow. They're not holding him back for Game six. 200 00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:31.600 Why hold him back for a game that you don't 201 00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:34.960 want to play. The Dodgers are going with Jack Flaherty. 202 00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:38.279 The Mets just barely announced their starter after the game, 203 00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:42.840 which is going to be David Peterson. Everything is trending 204 00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:46.080 the Dodgers direction, and I love what Max Munsey had 205 00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:48.879 to say. They're not looking at it as one win 206 00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:52.000 away from the World Series. They're looking at it as 207 00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:55.879 they need one win. It's a oo series. They want 208 00:10:55.879 --> 00:10:59.240 a win tomorrow. Let's head back downstairs to hear from 209 00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:02.759 Mooki Bett, who had four hits tonight, including a two 210 00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:05.240 run double and a two run home run. 211 00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:08.720 Mooki, congrats on the run, the two run double, the 212 00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:11.600 two run homer.

It's good to 217 00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:28.840 help the team pitching. Pitching did amazing keeping them off 218 00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:32.200 the board, really, so you know it was fun. 219 00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:36.000 And MOOKI the lineup has changed so much behind show, 220 00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:38.600 hey and you what was it like to see a 221 00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:40.600 guy like Tommy have such a big night in the 222 00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:41.600 cleanup spot tonight? 223 00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:45.639 You know, I think that's the beauty of our our team. 224 00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:49.879 It can change, but whoever's in the lineup is good 225 00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:52.360 and they're gonna follow the plan. They're gonna they want 226 00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:55.480 to win, and so that's why we're that's why we 227 00:11:55.519 --> 00:11:56.679 are up three to one right now. 228 00:11:57.399 --> 00:12:00.720 Go to Peter in the second run on the left him, Mookie, 229 00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:02.879 I know you spoke yesterday. 230 00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:06.440 I guess it was about taking extra swings just how 231 00:12:06.519 --> 00:12:08.840 I guess what did you kind of find as you've 232 00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:11.000 done that? And what was there something that really clicked 233 00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:13.159 for you in these last few days with that extra work. 234 00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:19.120 I mean a lot of stuffs clicked and hasn't worked. 235 00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:22.399 And some work today worked, But tomorrow's a new day 236 00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:26.279 and I'll come work and try and find the same field. 237 00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:31.200 But you know, it's just a just a lot of work. 238 00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:35.919 God really answering prayers, all those types of things, and 239 00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:38.559 so it's just good to know that I helped the 240 00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:40.840 team go to Dylan right up in. 241 00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:41.440 The front. 242 00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:45.519 MOOKI after a tiny hit that home run to start 243 00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:47.480 the game. Did you kind of figure you know it'd 244 00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:48.879 be the type of game where okay, now they're going 245 00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:50.679 to start avoiding him and that you know you're going 246 00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:53.039 to get chances to have good swings. 247 00:12:53.159 --> 00:12:56.360 No, no, no, no, no, By no means, I just know 248 00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:58.399 there was a stretch there for like two or three 249 00:12:58.399 --> 00:12:59.759 at bats. I don't even think he saw a pitch 250 00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:06.279 from really close, which I understand, but it's gonna be 251 00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:08.360 tough to just walk them all the time, especially with 252 00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:11.039 the lineup and the and the guys Freddie Binnon play 253 00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:11.360 as well. 254 00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:16.200 So we'll see come over the right side, third the 255 00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:17.639 right on the mookie. 256 00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:19.639 Can you just talk about the way the offense has 257 00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:22.559 been able to work the Mets pitching staff during walks, 258 00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:25.600 keeping the line moving in the consistency that you guys 259 00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:26.440 have provided. 260 00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:31.440 I think, just uh following the plan are our coaches 261 00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:35.799 do a really good job in preparing us and the guys. 262 00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:38.320 We all believe in them, We believe in each other, 263 00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:40.840 and we know, like I said, whether the plan is 264 00:13:40.919 --> 00:13:43.039 right or wrong, it doesn't really matter. It's just at 265 00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:45.799 least we follow the plan no matter what, and it's 266 00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:46.639 been right so far. 267 00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:51.200 All right, there's Mookie Betts in the press conference room. Man, 268 00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:54.120 you could hear the tone in his voice. He's not 269 00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:57.440 acting like the Dodgers have won this series already, and 270 00:13:57.480 --> 00:14:00.799 that just seems to be uh a. You and formed 271 00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:04.759 the uniting kind of message that they haven't done anything yet. 272 00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:08.039 And if you remember, there was a photo posted of 273 00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:12.960 the video board inside the Dodger clubhouse before Game five, 274 00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:16.080 and it was the famous quote from Kobe Bryant that 275 00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:18.679 job not finished, job not done. 276 00:14:19.120 --> 00:14:19.960 Same thing here. 277 00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:23.960 The Dodgers understand they haven't done anything yet, but certainly 278 00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:27.519 have a commanding three games to one lead. They are 279 00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:31.759 one win away from the World Series. Eight six six nine, 280 00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:35.399 eight seven two five seventy is the phone number.

So that's a tough way to live 315 00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:20.120 if you're an opponent to try to pitch around show 316 00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:23.679 Hey Otani.

Tommy Edmund, by 327 00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:55.519 the way, has drove in a run in every one 328 00:16:55.960 --> 00:17:00.480 of these games in the NLCS. Eight six, six, two, 329 00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:04.400 five seventy is the phone number. Let's head downstairs to 330 00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:05.960 hear from manager Dave. 331 00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:11.160 Roberts, whether whether it's the injuries to the pitchers, Freddie 332 00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:13.960 being out, your all star first baseman, former MVP. It 333 00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:15.920 doesn't seem to bother you guys or affect you guys 334 00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:17.759 the way it would other teams. Why does this team 335 00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:21.240 have such a next man up mentality? You know, win 336 00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:23.839 for Freddy whatever it may be, whoever's down, It doesn't. 337 00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:25.440 You guys don't skip a beat and you just keep 338 00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:25.839 on rolling. 339 00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:26.400 Why isn't that? 340 00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:30.400 I don't know the answer. 341 00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:33.480 I think part of it is we've dealt with it 342 00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:40.559 all year with with very key contributors, and it's a 343 00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:45.599 it's a clubhouse that's very welcoming to new players, whether 344 00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:49.759 by way of trade, waiver wire pickups, young players that 345 00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:55.680 get called it from the system. It's a very focused group, 346 00:17:55.799 --> 00:18:00.240 tough group, and it's something that is probably something that 347 00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:03.000 I feel proud that we can hang our hat on 348 00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:08.160 that there's never been any excuse all year for our 349 00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:10.759 club as far as winning the division and winning eleven 350 00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:13.599 games in October, and you know, even as recent as 351 00:18:13.640 --> 00:18:17.119 this year to not have Freddy start a playoff game, 352 00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:20.480 you know, but there was no excuse we were expecting 353 00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:24.240 to when this game tonight. And so yeah, Michael, it 354 00:18:24.359 --> 00:18:28.599 is that next guy at mentality and the fight that 355 00:18:28.640 --> 00:18:31.200 I've seen in these guys. You know, I don't think 356 00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:34.160 you can kind of quantify it, but I do believe that, 357 00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:38.440 you know, the mindset, the attitude, you know, is applicable 358 00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:41.319 and manifest itself into winning baseball games. 359 00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:47.319 You go to ad in the back round, Hi, Dave. 360 00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:51.680 I had are what are your emotions about how dominant 361 00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:52.680 you've been these. 362 00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:53.640 Last two games? 363 00:18:57.039 --> 00:19:00.359 Emotions? Probably I'm still you know, we still have a 364 00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:01.839 lot of work to do. We got to win one 365 00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:05.759 more game this series. I love the way that our 366 00:19:05.799 --> 00:19:08.599 guys haven't let off the gas in the sense of, 367 00:19:09.519 --> 00:19:11.880 you know, I think that you know, the outcome of 368 00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:14.759 the last two games. Certainly if you watch the game, 369 00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:18.359 games doesn't tell the story. And so the way we 370 00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:20.640 were able to add on the last couple of nights 371 00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:25.640 has been huge to win a long series. I think 372 00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:28.599 we're just so right now. I mean, I'm still kind 373 00:19:28.599 --> 00:19:30.920 of enjoying it a little bit, but I'm already thinking 374 00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:31.960 about Peterson tomorrow. 375 00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:34.759 So yeah, we still got some work to do. What 376 00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:38.440 a Dylan in the front Dave. 377 00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:40.799 We saw near the end of the regular season, right, 378 00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:43.240 a couple of times Tony got walked intentionally the way 379 00:19:43.319 --> 00:19:45.720 Mookie kind of responded to that today right, the first 380 00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:47.880 three hits came out right after all Tony got walked. 381 00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:49.680 How do you think Mookie kind of takes that when 382 00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:52.759 he sees you know, them basically not challenging the guy. 383 00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:55.279 I think he took it the same way Viento's took 384 00:19:55.279 --> 00:20:00.960 it personal, and that's okay, that's okay. And I think 385 00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:04.119 that you know, he understands whether it's a manager putting 386 00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:07.640 four fingers up or you know, you're throwing intentional balls 387 00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:09.400 two feet outside, you know you're gonna go out for 388 00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:11.559 the next guy. And so I think that Mookie takes 389 00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:15.799 a personal like you know, all competitors should. And I 390 00:20:16.039 --> 00:20:18.559 do think that stuff like that lights lights a little 391 00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:19.759 fire under him. 392 00:20:20.119 --> 00:20:21.880 And do you have a starter for tomorrow? 393 00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:23.799 And if you do, clarity Jack's gonna start. 394 00:20:24.039 --> 00:20:25.079 How did you kind of get to that? 395 00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:30.160 I think that he gives us the best chance to 396 00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:34.880 win tomorrow. And so it's regular you know, we have 397 00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:38.960 our full slew of guys behind him, and you know, 398 00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:41.640 there's a sense of urgency to win this game tomorrow. 399 00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:44.000 All right, there's manager Dave Roberts. 400 00:20:44.119 --> 00:20:46.799 Love to hear that, Dave a sense of urgency to 401 00:20:46.920 --> 00:20:50.599
