WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:02.200
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's go Fred Ruggan or Rodney Pete not

2
00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:05.440
<v Speaker 1>five seventy LA sports Dodger fans. How you like that?

3
00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:10.560
<v Speaker 1>How are you feeling now? Yesterday it was doom and gloom.

4
00:00:11.119 --> 00:00:14.039
<v Speaker 1>Today the sun seems to be shining again and off

5
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:17.359
<v Speaker 1>the top. I do want to say, Rodney, yeah, talk

6
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:21.239
<v Speaker 1>to me. And it's it's unusual to be very frank

7
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:27.199
<v Speaker 1>that we're both right at the same time that rarely happens.

8
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:28.600
<v Speaker 2>Rarely does, rarely does.

9
00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:32.520
<v Speaker 1>We're like, uh dan ayk Royd and U Jane Curtin

10
00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:36.320
<v Speaker 1>were like point counterpoint. We said, we rarely agree on stuff,

11
00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:40.119
<v Speaker 1>but yesterday we both had it. A couple of things.

12
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:43.600
<v Speaker 1>We both said yesterday the pitching's going to be good.

13
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:46.719
<v Speaker 1>The pitching's going to be fine. And I can't remember

14
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:48.759
<v Speaker 1>if I said I think it'll actually be better than

15
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:52.600
<v Speaker 1>they had a starter out there. The pitching was great.

16
00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:56.479
<v Speaker 1>There was not a concern in my mind, Rodney about

17
00:00:56.520 --> 00:01:01.479
<v Speaker 1>the pitching yesterday, No me either. And the way the

18
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:04.680
<v Speaker 1>way Brazier took the mound and it's his start, just

19
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:07.359
<v Speaker 1>to look in his eye and then look at his stuff.

20
00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:12.760
<v Speaker 1>I felt good from like once they got past that

21
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:14.560
<v Speaker 1>first inning and I felt pretty good about it.

22
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:15.719
<v Speaker 2>I really did.

23
00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:18.040
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know we were gonna score all those runs,

24
00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:20.640
<v Speaker 1>but I felt pretty good about the pitching part of it.

25
00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:24.959
<v Speaker 2>Fred, and so many people were so against it.

26
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:29.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, you listen to all the pre game and

27
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:31.799
<v Speaker 1>you know, you listen to a Rod and Jeter and

28
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:34.239
<v Speaker 1>those guys and Poppy and those guys that are all saying,

29
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:37.159
<v Speaker 1>how you know, I hate the bullpen game? In game four,

30
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:39.239
<v Speaker 1>You're an elimination game. How do you do a bullpen game?

31
00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:40.840
<v Speaker 1>Why do you not have a start for this? And

32
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:43.359
<v Speaker 1>for that reason, I'm picking the Padres and they all did.

33
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:48.079
<v Speaker 1>And yet if you watch this team, especially the last month,

34
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:52.359
<v Speaker 1>the bullpen has been the strength the strength of this team.

35
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:57.519
<v Speaker 1>And you know, telling these guys, a group of them, hey,

36
00:01:57.719 --> 00:01:59.840
<v Speaker 1>all I need is three outs from you go get me,

37
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:02.359
<v Speaker 1>get me three outs and sometimes maybe get me five,

38
00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:09.080
<v Speaker 1>and they collectively manned up, Fred, I don't know any

39
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:11.120
<v Speaker 1>other way to say it. They collectively manned up and

40
00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:13.520
<v Speaker 1>said we got you, we got you, and they shut

41
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:18.360
<v Speaker 1>it down. They looked depressive, they looked unhittable. Yeah, they

42
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:21.280
<v Speaker 1>looked like they were dominant and in control from the

43
00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:23.639
<v Speaker 1>minute of the game started. Every single one of them,

44
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:27.280
<v Speaker 1>and Dave Roberts wasn't afraid to bring Kopek in early

45
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:28.960
<v Speaker 1>when he thought he needed to be in there.

46
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:29.520
<v Speaker 2>Right.

47
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:32.280
<v Speaker 1>I was like, why Copeck now? Why he's been so

48
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:36.560
<v Speaker 1>good at the end, Why Copeck now? And uh, but

49
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:40.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, they know what they're doing. They know what

50
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:42.240
<v Speaker 1>they're doing. And by the way, let's give it right now,

51
00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:45.120
<v Speaker 1>let's give flowers to Dave Roberts because he got I'm

52
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:49.960
<v Speaker 1>sure shall act about a bullpen game and what is

53
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:55.199
<v Speaker 1>he doing? But he got our message to uh Fred,

54
00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:58.400
<v Speaker 1>he put key K in the game. Yep, Kyk got

55
00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:02.639
<v Speaker 1>to put out. It was because key K and Chris

56
00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Taylor kept switching positions. Yes, it was very strange. One

57
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:09.199
<v Speaker 1>would be at third and one would be at center,

58
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:11.319
<v Speaker 1>and then you turn around and they be flipped, and

59
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:15.360
<v Speaker 1>you turn around they be flipped again. Yeah, that was

60
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:20.280
<v Speaker 1>very bizarre, Rodney, while they kept switching positions.

61
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:22.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, don't I don't know. I don't know what the

62
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:25.439
<v Speaker 2>reasoning was behind that. But it all worked out.

63
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:28.800
<v Speaker 1>It all worked out, and it was good to see

64
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:31.639
<v Speaker 1>some guys break out, Max Munsey breaking out, Gavin Lux

65
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:35.280
<v Speaker 1>doing his thing. I thought, oh, you know, overall, it

66
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:38.719
<v Speaker 1>was just a and I said yesterday that this is

67
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:41.800
<v Speaker 1>a different team when their backs against the wall. You know,

68
00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:45.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm not guaranteeing any victory tomorrow anything like that, but

69
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:47.919
<v Speaker 1>when their backs have kind of been against the wall

70
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:50.840
<v Speaker 1>and they went through lulls this season, or they needed

71
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:53.719
<v Speaker 1>to go to a place or have a series with

72
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:57.800
<v Speaker 1>somebody big that they needed to go win it, they responded.

73
00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:01.520
<v Speaker 1>And last night it was it was impressive to see

74
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:04.800
<v Speaker 1>as a team how they responded. The only guy that

75
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:07.840
<v Speaker 1>was wrong yesterday was David Vassy. The only guy that

76
00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:10.120
<v Speaker 1>was wrong with David because he was a little bitter yesterday.

77
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:11.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, maybe it was his attitude that made

78
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:14.039
<v Speaker 1>him wrong, right, I mean, right off the bat, Okay,

79
00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:15.000
<v Speaker 1>who's going to pitch tonight?

80
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:15.080
<v Speaker 3>Well?

81
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:18.079
<v Speaker 1>Who do you think? I've said it? It'll be a

82
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:22.759
<v Speaker 1>left hander starting? Well, which one? Well one of two? Okay,

83
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:27.160
<v Speaker 1>it was Ryan Brazier, who was right handed. And then

84
00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:30.000
<v Speaker 1>you said, well, you know what about Freddie Freeman? Will

85
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:37.120
<v Speaker 1>he be in the lineup? The response was, I assure you,

86
00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:42.800
<v Speaker 1>Freddy Freeman will be in the lineup, and he didn't play.

87
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:46.920
<v Speaker 1>The only guy that was wrong yesterday was Vassa. And

88
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:51.720
<v Speaker 1>on the topic of Freddie Freeman watching him last night, Yeah,

89
00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:55.480
<v Speaker 1>that was the happiest this guy's looked in a month, smiling,

90
00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:00.480
<v Speaker 1>patent gosh on the back. Yeah, he is not looked

91
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:01.240
<v Speaker 1>that happy playing.

92
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:04.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah night he did, he really did.

93
00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:07.079
<v Speaker 1>And sometimes fred you you when you're hurt and you

94
00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:09.680
<v Speaker 1>don't get a chance or you're not contributing to the team,

95
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:13.199
<v Speaker 1>especially in big time situations like the playoffs like they're in,

96
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:18.000
<v Speaker 1>all you're praying is to get another chance, or you're

97
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:20.800
<v Speaker 1>you're praying to to just extend it so I can

98
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:24.920
<v Speaker 1>go help my team. And to see that happening, you

99
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:26.600
<v Speaker 1>could see it on his face. You're right that he

100
00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:28.560
<v Speaker 1>was all smiles and all happy. Now. I don't know

101
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:32.160
<v Speaker 1>if he's going to play tomorrow, but he gets a

102
00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:34.319
<v Speaker 1>day off right now. It's it gets two days off

103
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:38.839
<v Speaker 1>because he didn't play, but he was happy. I will

104
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:42.439
<v Speaker 1>assure you that he possibly gets another opportunity to play

105
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:43.319
<v Speaker 1>in these playoffs.

106
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:45.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because he's another one like Mookie.

107
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:49.120
<v Speaker 1>Remember, he's another one that has struggled and people were

108
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:52.360
<v Speaker 1>talking about him and MOOKI broke out of it. And

109
00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:54.959
<v Speaker 1>and so you know, now it's if Freddie plays. It's

110
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:57.199
<v Speaker 1>time for him to break out of it. Yeah, Mookie

111
00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:59.920
<v Speaker 1>again last night, So that's two games in a row.

112
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:03.560
<v Speaker 1>You hope now that whatever was ailing him has been

113
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:06.800
<v Speaker 1>cured because now he's playing, he's hitting like Mookie bats.

114
00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:09.360
<v Speaker 1>That's the guy you need hitting up in the order

115
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:14.360
<v Speaker 1>like that, Rodney. Yeah, you know, and again you know

116
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:18.319
<v Speaker 1>Tani's Otani, but Mooki is he is that engine. He

117
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:20.519
<v Speaker 1>is that guy that a lot of guys still look

118
00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:21.600
<v Speaker 1>to to to.

119
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:22.160
<v Speaker 2>Get him going.

120
00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:25.720
<v Speaker 1>And you know, uh, and and he and you got

121
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:28.360
<v Speaker 1>to see that body language from Muki and we didn't

122
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:32.839
<v Speaker 1>see that in game two and uh even in game three,

123
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:34.879
<v Speaker 1>you know, after we got robbed of the home wrung,

124
00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:38.120
<v Speaker 1>you could feel like him being a little bit deflated.

125
00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:40.399
<v Speaker 2>But he got it back.

126
00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:43.040
<v Speaker 1>He got it back in that body language, that smile

127
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:44.680
<v Speaker 1>that you know, pumping of the fists.

128
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:47.160
<v Speaker 2>I think was it does a lot for his teammates.

129
00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:49.319
<v Speaker 2>So it was it was good to see.

130
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:51.839
<v Speaker 1>And I think and I hope that he's, uh, he's

131
00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:53.560
<v Speaker 1>really back to being Mookie Bets again.

132
00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:55.399
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

133
00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:58.160
<v Speaker 1>Also, we mentioned two names yesterday, guys that had to hit.

134
00:06:59.000 --> 00:06:59.639
<v Speaker 2>Two names.

135
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:02.120
<v Speaker 1>You remember them, I'll tell you what they were. Will

136
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:05.519
<v Speaker 1>Smith and Max Munson Yep, mentioned both of them yesterday.

137
00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:09.360
<v Speaker 1>Will Smith I said, ten year deal. You gotta Yep,

138
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:13.399
<v Speaker 1>America's catcher's got to America's catchers got to hit. Yeah,

139
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:17.639
<v Speaker 1>because otherwise America's catcher we can play Austin Barnes. But

140
00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:19.199
<v Speaker 1>America's catcher hit last night.

141
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:20.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

142
00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:22.759
<v Speaker 1>And was that a big bomb at the right time. Yep,

143
00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:24.519
<v Speaker 1>you know, because you know, you look at that team

144
00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:27.800
<v Speaker 1>and you go, okay, three is not enough, two is

145
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:32.000
<v Speaker 1>not enough. They got so much firepower. We we got

146
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:34.240
<v Speaker 1>to get some breathing room. And that three run home

147
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:37.800
<v Speaker 1>where he hit. When he hit that one, I was like, oh, yes,

148
00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:42.160
<v Speaker 1>you could. You could exhale a little bit, right because

149
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:44.160
<v Speaker 1>it was like, Okay, now we're putting it on them.

150
00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:47.160
<v Speaker 1>Now we got some distance, a little bit in between us.

151
00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:52.160
<v Speaker 1>Now they're gonna start looking at it, going are we

152
00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:55.199
<v Speaker 1>gonna press to get back? Are we gonna get back? Oh? Well,

153
00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:57.639
<v Speaker 1>you know, and now they start to, you know, start

154
00:07:57.639 --> 00:07:59.959
<v Speaker 1>to doubt themselves a little bit whether or not they

155
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:01.839
<v Speaker 1>could come back. And you saw it, like you said

156
00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:04.639
<v Speaker 1>at the top, you saw it in their faces. Their

157
00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:08.360
<v Speaker 1>body language was what in the hell just happened? From

158
00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:14.439
<v Speaker 1>the night before, we had this team buried. Crowd was

159
00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:17.279
<v Speaker 1>in it, and we were killing them everything they threw

160
00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:20.720
<v Speaker 1>up there, we were hitting. What happened today? They said,

161
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:25.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't believe it's the same team. And they looked.

162
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:28.600
<v Speaker 1>They looked in their eyes, the look on their faces,

163
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:31.959
<v Speaker 1>their body language, the slump down, all the things that

164
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:34.720
<v Speaker 1>they were doing the night before they did not do

165
00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:40.200
<v Speaker 1>last night. Ban looked the Dodger pitchers last night made

166
00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:45.120
<v Speaker 1>them appear to be a very average lineup. M That

167
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:47.919
<v Speaker 1>looked that when we were watching the Dodgers, and we

168
00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:50.759
<v Speaker 1>brought this up the other day, Okay, uh, when you

169
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:52.679
<v Speaker 1>see the Padres at bout, what do you think?

170
00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:53.720
<v Speaker 2>You know?

171
00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:57.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, got them out? They could score. When

172
00:08:57.399 --> 00:08:59.200
<v Speaker 1>you see the Dodgers at bat, what did you think,

173
00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:00.960
<v Speaker 1>please just get on base?

174
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:03.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Yeah last night? Yesterday?

175
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:07.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, last night it was reversed. When you saw

176
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:10.799
<v Speaker 1>the Podres go up because of what the Dodgers pitchers

177
00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:13.879
<v Speaker 1>did to them, you thought they'll be lucky to get on.

178
00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:16.480
<v Speaker 1>But then when the Dodgers went up, given the way

179
00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:18.840
<v Speaker 1>they were hitting the ball, I thought, well, who's gonna

180
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:24.039
<v Speaker 1>score next? Yeah, it completely flipped the Dodger relievers made

181
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:26.519
<v Speaker 1>them look like a very average lineup, which they're not,

182
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:30.480
<v Speaker 1>but sure made them look like one. Whereas the Dodger

183
00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:32.480
<v Speaker 1>hitters all of a sudden looked like the Padres the

184
00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:37.039
<v Speaker 1>way they were hitting. And maybe it's just they'd seen cease,

185
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:40.799
<v Speaker 1>uh and they are just starting to get hot.

186
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:41.279
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

187
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it's the Padres had an off night. But I

188
00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:50.360
<v Speaker 1>gotta tell you, the roles were completely reversed, and they

189
00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:53.039
<v Speaker 1>were reversed even more than the score would indicate just

190
00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:56.120
<v Speaker 1>watching the two teams. Something had shifted last night.

191
00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:59.840
<v Speaker 4>The pressure changed. I talked about it going into that game.

192
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:03.879
<v Speaker 4>You know this, The pressure was on San Diego to

193
00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:07.039
<v Speaker 4>close them out at home. They thought cease was the

194
00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:09.279
<v Speaker 4>move to go for the kill. I don't know why,

195
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:12.360
<v Speaker 4>since the Dodgers had already lit them up. To your point, Rodney,

196
00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:14.200
<v Speaker 4>so now you're gonna put that same guy on three

197
00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:17.639
<v Speaker 4>days rest. It played out in the way, and credit

198
00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:21.440
<v Speaker 4>to you guys that you pretty much projected yesterday.

199
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:24.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you're right, You're right, there's so much. I mean,

200
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:26.480
<v Speaker 1>they talk about it all the time. Right, we've done

201
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:28.519
<v Speaker 1>it front our home crowd, our home crowd. We want

202
00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:29.879
<v Speaker 1>to do it in front of our home people. And

203
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:33.840
<v Speaker 1>the energy down there, so that pressure to close it

204
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:36.440
<v Speaker 1>out thinking they don't have to go back to Dodger Stadium.

205
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:40.080
<v Speaker 1>That was real, and I think they felt it, especially

206
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:42.720
<v Speaker 1>when they got down. You know, they're so used to

207
00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:46.720
<v Speaker 1>playing from elite, especially against the Dodgers, that when they

208
00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:48.600
<v Speaker 1>got down, especially when they got down after the Will

209
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:52.799
<v Speaker 1>Smith home run and it was five to nothing, they

210
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:56.360
<v Speaker 1>were a different, deflated team. And I think your part

211
00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:58.720
<v Speaker 1>of it is right at them is that they felt

212
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:02.720
<v Speaker 1>that pressure going in and when it got ugly, there

213
00:11:02.759 --> 00:11:05.240
<v Speaker 1>was no coming back for them. If there was any

214
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:07.960
<v Speaker 1>way possible, and I don't think there is any way possible.

215
00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:10.840
<v Speaker 1>I would tell the Dodgers to have another bullpen game

216
00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:14.360
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow if there was any I just wish they had

217
00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:17.480
<v Speaker 1>more relievers. Well on that note though, since there is

218
00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:20.919
<v Speaker 1>a day's rest, Yeah, and they're relievers. Why everybody's ready, right,

219
00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:23.159
<v Speaker 1>everybody's available? Who wouldn't be available.

220
00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:28.240
<v Speaker 4>The only guy that pitched heavy was what Vessia. He

221
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:29.519
<v Speaker 4>pitched over twenty pitches.

222
00:11:29.799 --> 00:11:31.799
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yeah, I think Bessie was the wind that went

223
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:32.360
<v Speaker 2>the longest.

224
00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:36.480
<v Speaker 4>That's it. I mean, everything is at their disposal.

225
00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:39.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Brazier went four batters, right, He went four batters,

226
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:40.120
<v Speaker 2>four outs.

227
00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:42.320
<v Speaker 4>That's how perfect yesterday was.

228
00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:46.960
<v Speaker 1>That's exactly they saved those arms. They didn't have to

229
00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:49.200
<v Speaker 1>have anybody go real deep. And you you know, you

230
00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:51.559
<v Speaker 1>worried because a couple of guys were going good. You're like, oh,

231
00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:55.600
<v Speaker 1>leave them in one more. But but they they played

232
00:11:55.600 --> 00:12:00.480
<v Speaker 1>it absolutely right and it worked out perfectly because now

233
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:04.360
<v Speaker 1>with the day off, I think all of those guys

234
00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:07.279
<v Speaker 1>are and in the question, maybe VESSI may be the

235
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:09.159
<v Speaker 1>only one, but even still with him with the day off,

236
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:11.679
<v Speaker 1>he may be able to go. But all those guys

237
00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:12.799
<v Speaker 1>are available tomorrow night.

238
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:14.639
<v Speaker 2>Well if that's the case.

239
00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:17.519
<v Speaker 1>And you know, the plan was to start Yamamoto right,

240
00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:19.200
<v Speaker 1>that's why they started him in game one, but I

241
00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:21.919
<v Speaker 1>think you started him still. You start Yamamoto and you

242
00:12:21.960 --> 00:12:25.679
<v Speaker 1>and you're quick though, I'm talking about like first inning quick,

243
00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:28.919
<v Speaker 1>if there's a problem quick. Yeah, there's no waiting to

244
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:30.759
<v Speaker 1>find out how he works his way out of it.

245
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:34.279
<v Speaker 1>And if he you know what, any inning he goes

246
00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:39.559
<v Speaker 1>and it's scoreless, it's a bonus. But I like this

247
00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:43.159
<v Speaker 1>this bullpen game plan because I think those guys can

248
00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:46.080
<v Speaker 1>shut them down the Padres. I think that our bullpen

249
00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:49.679
<v Speaker 1>can shut them down and last night was a perfect

250
00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:54.720
<v Speaker 1>example that was pretty solid. And also when Dave Roberts,

251
00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:58.399
<v Speaker 1>I could not believe he did this during the endgame

252
00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:03.320
<v Speaker 1>interview we had with Fox. Yeah, did you hear him

253
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:08.799
<v Speaker 1>just outline the entire pitching rotation. He just he told

254
00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:11.039
<v Speaker 1>Ken Rosenthal exactly what they were gonna do.

255
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:11.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

256
00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:15.559
<v Speaker 1>I thought, now that's a guy that's pretty honest, pretty confident. Yeah,

257
00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:18.240
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna do this. Then it'll be yeah, Coulpec's coming

258
00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:22.519
<v Speaker 1>in here. Then I thought, my god, he just told

259
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:23.720
<v Speaker 1>everybody exactly what.

260
00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:28.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, but it was brilliant. It was brilliant. It

261
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:29.120
<v Speaker 2>was no.

262
00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:32.559
<v Speaker 1>Even when they threatened a couple of times, it was

263
00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:35.919
<v Speaker 1>no panic in the Dodgers. Even when they threatened. Did

264
00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:37.399
<v Speaker 1>you think it was gonna be a problem last night?

265
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:42.039
<v Speaker 1>I know I didn't. I really didn't. I really didn't.

266
00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:44.879
<v Speaker 1>I just got that feeling after after really, after they

267
00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:46.840
<v Speaker 1>got out of that first inning. Mookie at the home

268
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:49.840
<v Speaker 1>run set the set the stage. But after they got

269
00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:52.200
<v Speaker 1>out of that first inning, the way Brazier looked like, oh,

270
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:55.559
<v Speaker 1>this is gonna be pretty good. And uh so, yeah,

271
00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:57.639
<v Speaker 1>even when they threatened, I didn't feel like, Okay, this

272
00:13:57.720 --> 00:14:00.799
<v Speaker 1>is gonna be a big, big crooked inning for the Padres.

273
00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:04.440
<v Speaker 2>Now here they go. I didn't feel that way, didn't either.

274
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:06.120
<v Speaker 2>That was a good one.

275
00:14:06.200 --> 00:14:08.759
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, later on this hour we'll we'll

276
00:14:08.759 --> 00:14:10.440
<v Speaker 1>open the phone lines and give you a chance to

277
00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:18.519
<v Speaker 1>tell us how you're feeling about it. All right, Bill Plunkett,

278
00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:21.399
<v Speaker 1>OC Register will join us next. We've not talked about

279
00:14:21.399 --> 00:14:25.279
<v Speaker 1>the return of you Darvish in a game clinching situation

280
00:14:25.399 --> 00:14:29.200
<v Speaker 1>on the mounted Dodger Stadium, game clinching for the Padres.

281
00:14:29.480 --> 00:14:30.919
<v Speaker 1>Of course, we know what happened the last time he

282
00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:33.679
<v Speaker 1>could clinch a game for the Dodgers. Hey, good rogan

283
00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:37.639
<v Speaker 1>on a Thursday, I throw back Thursday, that is, Oh yes,

284
00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:42.559
<v Speaker 1>oh yes, they forced a game five. Was there any doubt?

285
00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:45.559
<v Speaker 1>Not for Freddy, not for me, not for Adam, not

286
00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:49.039
<v Speaker 1>for Ronnie. We all believe. Let's go, come on Freddy.

287
00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:51.000
<v Speaker 1>All right, well, let's bring on a man who's joined

288
00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:53.120
<v Speaker 1>us through up these playoffs and done a great job,

289
00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:55.639
<v Speaker 1>Bill Plunkett of the O. C. Register. Bill, thank you

290
00:14:55.679 --> 00:14:56.639
<v Speaker 1>for coming on today.

291
00:14:57.720 --> 00:15:01.240
<v Speaker 3>Thank you for the Stevie wonder there there you go.

292
00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:02.080
<v Speaker 2>That's how we roll.

293
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:06.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know, Bill, you were there, We saw it

294
00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:09.440
<v Speaker 1>on TV. And the thing that I noticed is early

295
00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:14.000
<v Speaker 1>on the Padres seemed somewhat deflated. It seemed like the

296
00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:16.759
<v Speaker 1>energy or the air had been sucked out of them.

297
00:15:17.080 --> 00:15:21.440
<v Speaker 3>Do you agree, Uh? Yeah, because it was eight to nothing.

298
00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:27.799
<v Speaker 3>This this idea of one team having energy in the

299
00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:31.919
<v Speaker 3>other knot, or one team having good vibes and the

300
00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:36.480
<v Speaker 3>other not, is largely a product of what happens. You know,

301
00:15:36.559 --> 00:15:38.679
<v Speaker 3>it's really easy to get excited when you hit a

302
00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:41.840
<v Speaker 3>three run homer in the first inning. So if the

303
00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:44.159
<v Speaker 3>Padres had hit a three run homer, I think they

304
00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:46.799
<v Speaker 3>probably would have got energized and so with the crowd.

305
00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:49.559
<v Speaker 3>But you put up you put up a run in

306
00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:53.559
<v Speaker 3>the first inning, like Mookie did, and this is something

307
00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:56.879
<v Speaker 3>the Dodgers haven't been able to do. You go out

308
00:15:56.879 --> 00:15:58.799
<v Speaker 3>there and you give a shutdown inning and put up

309
00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:01.440
<v Speaker 3>a zero or two. On the other side of the scoreboard,

310
00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:05.200
<v Speaker 3>the energy is kind of hard, uh, to get going

311
00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:08.159
<v Speaker 3>over on the San Diego side. So I think all

312
00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:11.080
<v Speaker 3>of that's just a function of the score. Really well,

313
00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:11.840
<v Speaker 3>I don't.

314
00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Know, Bill, because it feels like even when they even

315
00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:16.919
<v Speaker 1>in the first game, even when they lost, they have

316
00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:21.279
<v Speaker 1>had this little edge about them. This cockiness, if you will,

317
00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:25.799
<v Speaker 1>about them when they play the Dodgers, and whether they're

318
00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:27.960
<v Speaker 1>behind or not, it feels like they think that they

319
00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:29.559
<v Speaker 1>can come back and they can beat them. They're not

320
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:31.960
<v Speaker 1>afraid of the Dodgers. They don't worry about them at all,

321
00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:35.240
<v Speaker 1>no matter what who's who's in their lineup, and and

322
00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:38.399
<v Speaker 1>last night, early on, it felt like they even before

323
00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:41.519
<v Speaker 1>it got to ate nothing, it felt like they were

324
00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:44.919
<v Speaker 1>a little bit deflated. Is could it be a sense

325
00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:47.440
<v Speaker 1>that maybe they were a little overconfident.

326
00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:52.039
<v Speaker 3>I don't know about that. I just I really think

327
00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:55.039
<v Speaker 3>it's just a matter of how the game goes. And

328
00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:58.320
<v Speaker 3>if they had gotten you know, an inning going, you

329
00:16:58.360 --> 00:17:00.759
<v Speaker 3>would have seen the energy the crowd. The crowd was

330
00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:05.279
<v Speaker 3>definitely deflated when when the Padres fell behind, there was

331
00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:08.440
<v Speaker 3>none of the energy that you saw all the way

332
00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:13.039
<v Speaker 3>through Game three. That disappeared real quick last night. So

333
00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:16.720
<v Speaker 3>I do think you're right that the Padres are not

334
00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:21.400
<v Speaker 3>afraid of the Dodgers. I don't think they. I think

335
00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:24.799
<v Speaker 3>they are very confident that they can beat them. So

336
00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:28.400
<v Speaker 3>all of that plays into it, I guess. But yeah,

337
00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:32.160
<v Speaker 3>it was. It was a different atmosphere last night, that's

338
00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:32.599
<v Speaker 3>for sure.

339
00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:35.799
<v Speaker 1>Uh, yeah, and I think a lot of it had

340
00:17:35.839 --> 00:17:37.519
<v Speaker 1>to do. And I was just saying to Rodney Bill

341
00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:40.039
<v Speaker 1>in the last segment, I just wish that Dodgers could

342
00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:44.240
<v Speaker 1>go in the bullpen game to my night too, I think, right,

343
00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:47.559
<v Speaker 1>I completely confident with those guys out there.

344
00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:51.960
<v Speaker 3>Uh huh. I just I posted on Twitter a little

345
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:57.359
<v Speaker 3>while ago that before last night, every time the Dodgers

346
00:17:57.440 --> 00:18:01.519
<v Speaker 3>went with a bullpen game, my Twitter timeline would be

347
00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:04.680
<v Speaker 3>filled with, Oh, they're not gonna win. Oh they don't

348
00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:07.160
<v Speaker 3>have a chance. Oh they're giving up, they don't care,

349
00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:11.119
<v Speaker 3>they're trying, not trying to win. Now, last night goes

350
00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:13.720
<v Speaker 3>as well as it did, and suddenly everybody is a

351
00:18:13.720 --> 00:18:15.880
<v Speaker 3>fan of the bullpen game and we should do that

352
00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:19.480
<v Speaker 3>all the time. And I knew, I knew that this

353
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:20.440
<v Speaker 3>was gonna work.

354
00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:22.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, Bill, let me tell you this.

355
00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:27.119
<v Speaker 1>We've got documentation from our show yesterday that both Fred

356
00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:29.680
<v Speaker 1>and I were very confident about the bullpen game. So

357
00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:32.359
<v Speaker 1>before it happened, we said it, we believed in it,

358
00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:35.119
<v Speaker 1>only because I think the bullpen has been a strength

359
00:18:35.119 --> 00:18:37.279
<v Speaker 1>of this team all season, well at least since the

360
00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:39.839
<v Speaker 1>All Star break, has been a strength. And the guys

361
00:18:39.839 --> 00:18:42.079
<v Speaker 1>that they were going to run out there. I felt

362
00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:42.960
<v Speaker 1>pretty good about him.

363
00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:46.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think you're right about that. I think it

364
00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:51.440
<v Speaker 3>has shifted largely not because of the performance of the bullpen,

365
00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:54.519
<v Speaker 3>but because of the performance of the starters. You know,

366
00:18:54.599 --> 00:18:58.119
<v Speaker 3>we saw what they ran out there during the series

367
00:18:58.400 --> 00:19:02.599
<v Speaker 3>against the Diamondbacks last year and it sank them all

368
00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:06.640
<v Speaker 3>three games. And I don't think Yamamoto or Flaherty or

369
00:19:06.680 --> 00:19:11.000
<v Speaker 3>even Buehler had gotten fans on their side with what

370
00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:14.680
<v Speaker 3>they did earlier in this series. So I think the

371
00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:18.880
<v Speaker 3>switch is largely a fear of what the starters can

372
00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:21.960
<v Speaker 3>do and how they can put them in a hole early,

373
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:24.880
<v Speaker 3>as much as it is confidence in the bullpen.

374
00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:28.559
<v Speaker 1>So that being said, tomorrow it's Yamamoto, right, he gets

375
00:19:28.599 --> 00:19:29.119
<v Speaker 1>the start.

376
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:34.400
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, We don't know that. I suspect it

377
00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:39.200
<v Speaker 3>will be Yamamoto with a very short leash, but they

378
00:19:39.240 --> 00:19:42.119
<v Speaker 3>have not confirmed that. And I don't know if you've

379
00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:44.720
<v Speaker 3>noticed this about the Dodgers, but they have a tendency

380
00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:49.880
<v Speaker 3>to overthink things and maybe do something else. Yeah, it's

381
00:19:50.039 --> 00:19:50.720
<v Speaker 3>it's happened.

382
00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:54.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, they never overthink anything.

383
00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:59.640
<v Speaker 3>Right, sure, So I don't know. I think it's Yamamoto,

384
00:19:59.799 --> 00:20:04.319
<v Speaker 3>but it could be Flairty. It could be some you know,

385
00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:07.799
<v Speaker 3>piggybacking option where both of them pitched. I think that's

386
00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:11.200
<v Speaker 3>a bad idea if you, you know, hope to advance.

387
00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:15.519
<v Speaker 3>I don't think it'll be a straight bullpen game one

388
00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:19.240
<v Speaker 3>through nine again, but who knows.

389
00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:22.519
<v Speaker 1>And you think everybody's available, right, I mean, they were

390
00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:25.920
<v Speaker 1>as efficient with their bullpen game as I could remember,

391
00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:28.640
<v Speaker 1>with guys going on and they'd getting three outs and

392
00:20:28.680 --> 00:20:31.519
<v Speaker 1>you know, only throwing twenty pitches or fifteen pitches or whatever.

393
00:20:31.559 --> 00:20:34.559
<v Speaker 1>They threw less than that. Sometimes they were very efficient,

394
00:20:34.599 --> 00:20:37.559
<v Speaker 1>which makes it very good for the Dodgers going in

395
00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:38.400
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow night, isn't it.

396
00:20:39.400 --> 00:20:39.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

397
00:20:39.680 --> 00:20:43.400
<v Speaker 3>They did not overextend anybody. I mean, you know, they

398
00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:46.240
<v Speaker 3>sent Blake Trnon out there for forty pitches the other night.

399
00:20:46.759 --> 00:20:50.759
<v Speaker 3>They didn't have to do that yesterday. Everybody was within

400
00:20:50.839 --> 00:20:53.640
<v Speaker 3>their lanes as they like to call them. They didn't

401
00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:57.880
<v Speaker 3>ask any extra of anybody. And now you have today

402
00:20:57.920 --> 00:21:01.279
<v Speaker 3>as a day off, and in October a day off

403
00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:05.559
<v Speaker 3>is complete reset. Everybody's available tomorrow, all right.

404
00:21:05.559 --> 00:21:07.440
<v Speaker 1>And that being said, do you think Freddie'll play tomorrow?

405
00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:08.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

406
00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:09.279
<v Speaker 2>I do.

407
00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:13.759
<v Speaker 3>I think he'll try as he has in the first

408
00:21:13.799 --> 00:21:16.240
<v Speaker 3>couple of games and we'll see what it looks like.

409
00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:20.880
<v Speaker 3>He admitted that they planned for yesterday as an off

410
00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:23.720
<v Speaker 3>day from the start. They sent out a lineup with

411
00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:26.039
<v Speaker 3>his name in it, but that was just a kind

412
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:29.000
<v Speaker 3>of mess with the padres a little bit. He was

413
00:21:29.079 --> 00:21:32.799
<v Speaker 3>never going to play last night, and the back to

414
00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:37.400
<v Speaker 3>back days appear to be what is the worst on

415
00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:41.200
<v Speaker 3>his ankle because he played Game one and the game

416
00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:42.960
<v Speaker 3>two he had to leave after I think it was

417
00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:46.400
<v Speaker 3>five innings, so they didn't want to push that again.

418
00:21:46.440 --> 00:21:51.400
<v Speaker 3>So I think after off yesterday, off today, treatment, treatment, treatment,

419
00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:53.160
<v Speaker 3>I think he'll be in there tomorrow.

420
00:21:54.200 --> 00:21:57.279
<v Speaker 1>Hey Bill, how do you think Walker Buehler did? We

421
00:21:57.480 --> 00:22:00.920
<v Speaker 1>were talking about that yesterday and he was the victim

422
00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:05.680
<v Speaker 1>of some unfortunate defensive plays. But I thought it was

423
00:22:05.720 --> 00:22:09.200
<v Speaker 1>interesting the way Dave Roberts stuck with him. You know,

424
00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:10.960
<v Speaker 1>I know they hit the grand Slam and got back

425
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:12.480
<v Speaker 1>in it, but the way he stuck with him and

426
00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:15.519
<v Speaker 1>didn't have a quick hook on him, you know, to

427
00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:18.920
<v Speaker 1>play with Freddie, to play with Rojas, I really wasn't

428
00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:20.480
<v Speaker 1>necessarily all on Walker.

429
00:22:20.519 --> 00:22:21.880
<v Speaker 2>Butler, how do you think he did?

430
00:22:23.359 --> 00:22:28.000
<v Speaker 3>I think he did okay, And you're right the beginning

431
00:22:28.200 --> 00:22:32.799
<v Speaker 3>turned on those two defensive plays. You know, bad throw

432
00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:35.640
<v Speaker 3>by Freddie, a smart played by Mahado, and then a

433
00:22:35.640 --> 00:22:40.680
<v Speaker 3>bad decision by Miggi Rojas very uncrick characteristic of him.

434
00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:44.799
<v Speaker 3>But I will say this about Buehler, he is not

435
00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:49.079
<v Speaker 3>the strikeout pitcher he was before the surgery. He admits

436
00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:53.240
<v Speaker 3>that he can't put guys away five of the hits

437
00:22:53.319 --> 00:22:56.119
<v Speaker 3>during that inning. If I recall, we're all with two

438
00:22:56.240 --> 00:22:59.720
<v Speaker 3>strikes and the potters are very good at putting the

439
00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:02.640
<v Speaker 3>ball and play. And what happens when you can't put

440
00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:05.319
<v Speaker 3>a guy away with two strikes and he puts the

441
00:23:05.359 --> 00:23:06.039
<v Speaker 3>ball in play?

442
00:23:06.240 --> 00:23:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Things happen.

443
00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:10.920
<v Speaker 3>You know, broken bat singles fall in, ground balls go

444
00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:14.680
<v Speaker 3>through the middle. You know, ground balls get misplayed. So

445
00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:17.920
<v Speaker 3>the fact that he can't put guys away and strike

446
00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:20.880
<v Speaker 3>him out is is a little bit of a problem.

447
00:23:20.920 --> 00:23:25.079
<v Speaker 1>Then they have Darvish going tomorrow night. I know he's

448
00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:27.680
<v Speaker 1>pitched well against the Dodgers. He's due to get lit

449
00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:31.480
<v Speaker 1>Merry Christmas. He'll be a tree and just got lit up. Wow,

450
00:23:31.839 --> 00:23:32.640
<v Speaker 1>that's what I'm doing.

451
00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:33.559
<v Speaker 5>I don't recall.

452
00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:37.480
<v Speaker 3>I do recall Darvish pitching in an elimination game at

453
00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:42.480
<v Speaker 3>Dodgers Stadium in the past, thank you. It didn't go

454
00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:43.359
<v Speaker 3>very well for him.

455
00:23:43.400 --> 00:23:48.319
<v Speaker 1>If I recall, yes, see Rodney, you see there's somebody

456
00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:49.319
<v Speaker 1>else that won't let it go.

457
00:23:49.799 --> 00:23:52.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that worked.

458
00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:55.079
<v Speaker 1>That one worked against the Dodgers, and he's a I

459
00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:57.240
<v Speaker 1>hope this doesn't work against the Dodgers either.

460
00:23:57.759 --> 00:23:58.519
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god.

461
00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:04.240
<v Speaker 3>He's he's got so many different pitches. He's a difficult

462
00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:07.640
<v Speaker 3>pitcher for the Dodgers to game plan against it. And

463
00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:10.920
<v Speaker 3>they are all about game planning as hitting group. He's

464
00:24:10.920 --> 00:24:15.000
<v Speaker 3>got I think he threw seven different pitches during the

465
00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:18.880
<v Speaker 3>game to start. He's got something to go to for

466
00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:21.680
<v Speaker 3>every hitter. You know, if you've got a hole here,

467
00:24:21.799 --> 00:24:25.720
<v Speaker 3>he has a pitch to attack it. He has pitches

468
00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:29.079
<v Speaker 3>to go to if something's not working. He's got six others.

469
00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:33.400
<v Speaker 3>That's a very difficult pitcher to game plan for. And

470
00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:36.880
<v Speaker 3>I think that's the big challenge for the Dodgers going

471
00:24:36.920 --> 00:24:39.599
<v Speaker 3>in tomorrow night. And when they've won, I mean, the

472
00:24:40.119 --> 00:24:43.759
<v Speaker 3>pitching the bullpen has been fantastic, but when they've won,

473
00:24:43.799 --> 00:24:44.960
<v Speaker 3>it's because of the bats.

474
00:24:46.240 --> 00:24:50.000
<v Speaker 1>Got a hit, yeah, no doubt. How do you feel

475
00:24:50.279 --> 00:24:52.759
<v Speaker 1>what's your assessment of outni go far in the series

476
00:24:53.079 --> 00:24:54.559
<v Speaker 1>through four games.

477
00:24:55.319 --> 00:24:59.079
<v Speaker 3>I think he's very good when the people in front

478
00:24:59.119 --> 00:25:03.519
<v Speaker 3>of him are good. The Dodgers have made it too

479
00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:06.079
<v Speaker 3>easy for the Padres in a couple of the games

480
00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:09.480
<v Speaker 3>when the bottom of the lineup didn't get on If

481
00:25:09.480 --> 00:25:13.559
<v Speaker 3>there's nobody on base, and when Tony comes up, the

482
00:25:13.599 --> 00:25:15.839
<v Speaker 3>Padres have a lot of ways to go. They could,

483
00:25:16.319 --> 00:25:19.759
<v Speaker 3>you know, work around him, hope he chases something, They

484
00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:22.720
<v Speaker 3>could attack him, and you know, take the attitude that

485
00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:25.480
<v Speaker 3>the worst he can do is a solo home run.

486
00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:30.119
<v Speaker 3>All of those options get narrowed down if the bottom

487
00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:32.359
<v Speaker 3>of the lineup can get on base in front of him.

488
00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:35.400
<v Speaker 3>And that's what you saw in game one and again

489
00:25:35.559 --> 00:25:36.079
<v Speaker 3>last night.

490
00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:39.880
<v Speaker 1>All right, Bell is always, thanks for coming on, and

491
00:25:39.920 --> 00:25:41.000
<v Speaker 1>we appreciate the insight.

492
00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:43.279
<v Speaker 3>You've got it guys anytime.

493
00:25:43.559 --> 00:25:45.920
<v Speaker 1>All right, there goes our body, Bill plunk it oc register.

494
00:25:46.680 --> 00:25:51.359
<v Speaker 1>By the way, people remember what happened? Would you Darvish

495
00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:51.839
<v Speaker 1>on the mound?

496
00:25:51.920 --> 00:25:52.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Yeah?

497
00:25:53.440 --> 00:25:53.680
<v Speaker 1>Game?

498
00:25:54.000 --> 00:25:55.359
<v Speaker 2>You think, God, you don't get it? Do you think

499
00:25:55.400 --> 00:25:57.160
<v Speaker 2>he's gonna get it at Dodgers Datium?

500
00:25:57.279 --> 00:26:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god? Oh look, I hope that you know

501
00:26:02.519 --> 00:26:08.200
<v Speaker 1>what this is justice? That's what this is. This is

502
00:26:08.400 --> 00:26:12.720
<v Speaker 1>justice Tomorrow. I can't come out on the guy. He's

503
00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:15.119
<v Speaker 1>a he's a good guy. He's a great guy.

504
00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:15.799
<v Speaker 2>Great guy.

505
00:26:16.480 --> 00:26:18.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm sure if we had dinner, we'd have

506
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:21.240
<v Speaker 1>a great time. But that doesn't excuse what happened. So

507
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:27.240
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow he's gonna get his and every Dodger Fanish Rodney,

508
00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:31.160
<v Speaker 1>whether you like it or not, they are rooting for

509
00:26:31.279 --> 00:26:35.599
<v Speaker 1>him to just get lit up tomorrow night, for the

510
00:26:35.839 --> 00:26:38.279
<v Speaker 1>justice right to get lit up and be the game

511
00:26:38.359 --> 00:26:40.480
<v Speaker 1>be over at the first inning like he like it

512
00:26:40.559 --> 00:26:43.359
<v Speaker 1>was against the Astros. Yeah, because in the first inning

513
00:26:43.400 --> 00:26:49.599
<v Speaker 1>against the Astros, given that sparkling outing of his, it

514
00:26:49.680 --> 00:26:53.000
<v Speaker 1>was like the entire stadium had been napalmmed. It was

515
00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:57.079
<v Speaker 1>just like silence. Nobody said a word the rest of

516
00:26:57.119 --> 00:27:00.720
<v Speaker 1>the night. That's got to come tomorrow. I'm just saying,

538
00:28:07.079 --> 00:28:09.680
<v Speaker 6>I mean, in my lifetime all as, the only playoff

539
00:28:09.720 --> 00:28:13.400
<v Speaker 6>success I've ever seen was La coming back, having to

540
00:28:13.440 --> 00:28:16.200
<v Speaker 6>come back against the Braves to win a World Series.

541
00:28:16.240 --> 00:28:18.720
<v Speaker 6>How many don't some some don't count. But thiol As

542
00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:21.759
<v Speaker 6>their team would have counted. But it did count my book.

543
00:28:21.799 --> 00:28:25.519
<v Speaker 6>But and then what better position than to be down

544
00:28:26.039 --> 00:28:30.160
<v Speaker 6>and then come back once again? University tov And that's

545
00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:31.559
<v Speaker 6>kind of like cal is looking at.

567
00:29:48.400 --> 00:29:51.640
<v Speaker 5>sell it. I saw your nice basketball court with your

568
00:29:51.640 --> 00:29:52.559

00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:06.200
<v Speaker 5>A lot of you had a lot of sports memorabilia, remember.

575
00:30:05.880 --> 00:30:08.079
<v Speaker 1>That that's true. Still, why didn't you buy the house

576
00:30:08.119 --> 00:30:09.000
<v Speaker 1>if you were in the house.

577
00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:12.559
<v Speaker 5>No, I live in the area, but I got a view.

578
00:30:12.640 --> 00:30:15.000
<v Speaker 5>You didn't have a view, so you're a lucky you

579
00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:19.640
<v Speaker 5>just wanted to look. I was looking for a house,

580
00:30:20.240 --> 00:30:23.519
<v Speaker 5>you know, nothing else to do that day, But you

581
00:30:23.559 --> 00:30:25.519
<v Speaker 5>didn't have the view. I have a view, so I

582
00:30:25.519 --> 00:30:26.400
<v Speaker 5>don't want to give it up.

583
00:30:26.759 --> 00:30:30.279
<v Speaker 2>No, I was behind the park. That's what you say

584
00:30:31.359 --> 00:30:31.680
<v Speaker 2>of you.

585
00:30:32.480 --> 00:30:34.799
<v Speaker 5>Why not if you don't have a view. If you

586
00:30:34.799 --> 00:30:37.119
<v Speaker 5>don't have a view, then you shouldn't be in the oaks.

587
00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:39.279
<v Speaker 2>All right, Well, every house has a view.

588
00:30:40.279 --> 00:30:45.799
<v Speaker 5>Damn either got of you or you want of you?

589
00:30:46.160 --> 00:30:46.519
<v Speaker 2>All right?

590
00:30:46.640 --> 00:30:49.759
<v Speaker 1>Well, still, not only didn't I have of you? Apparently

591
00:30:49.799 --> 00:30:51.799
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even want one because I was done.

592
00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:52.759
<v Speaker 2>All right.

593
00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:54.519
<v Speaker 1>Still, go ahead with the Dodgers.

594
00:30:54.119 --> 00:30:57.319
<v Speaker 5>Now, okay, real quickly. I don't want to take up

595
00:30:57.319 --> 00:30:59.880
<v Speaker 5>your whole day, but I don't mind. I like the

596
00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:04.799
<v Speaker 5>bo I like the bull. Tend by committee or start

597
00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:07.799
<v Speaker 5>with clarity. I don't want ya. I'm a moto on

598
00:31:07.960 --> 00:31:12.799
<v Speaker 5>the mound until we play in the next round. He's

599
00:31:12.839 --> 00:31:15.759
<v Speaker 5>just not He's not. I don't trust him. The other

600
00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:20.640
<v Speaker 5>point is, why is Chris Taylor taking the spot of

601
00:31:20.720 --> 00:31:25.559
<v Speaker 5>maybe Pahz because Chris Taylor is the most inept in

602
00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:29.839
<v Speaker 5>hitter on the whole roster, why keep playing?

603
00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:30.519
<v Speaker 2>Well?

604
00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:33.279
<v Speaker 1>All right, all right, Stu, all right, goodbye Stu. Uh.

605
00:31:33.799 --> 00:31:36.920
<v Speaker 1>I think it's safe to say a couple of things. First,

606
00:31:37.079 --> 00:31:39.359
<v Speaker 1>Chris Taylor did warm up near the end of the year.

607
00:31:39.400 --> 00:31:42.039
<v Speaker 1>Is that fair, Rodney, Yeah, a little bit. Yeah he did.

608
00:31:42.319 --> 00:31:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

609
00:31:43.119 --> 00:31:45.039
<v Speaker 1>I don't have a problem with him playing. No, not

610
00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:46.880
<v Speaker 1>last night when they had they had to, they had

611
00:31:46.880 --> 00:31:49.079
<v Speaker 1>to bring two guys in and play.

612
00:31:49.119 --> 00:31:51.079
<v Speaker 2>I didn't. I didn't really have a problem with it,

613
00:31:51.160 --> 00:31:51.400
<v Speaker 2>you know.

614
00:31:51.359 --> 00:31:55.039
<v Speaker 1>Because you you you know, sometimes your mind wants to

615
00:31:55.079 --> 00:31:57.880
<v Speaker 1>go back in history where he's had some some big

616
00:31:57.880 --> 00:32:01.200
<v Speaker 1>time playoff games, and the moment sometimes gets to a

617
00:32:01.240 --> 00:32:04.599
<v Speaker 1>guy and they they start to feel it again. So

618
00:32:05.240 --> 00:32:08.240
<v Speaker 1>maybe that was a thought process. And you know, Pie

619
00:32:08.279 --> 00:32:10.000
<v Speaker 1>has got a shot the other day and and then

620
00:32:10.119 --> 00:32:12.759
<v Speaker 1>and really didn't really didn't deliver too much. And plus

621
00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:15.440
<v Speaker 1>he's still a young guy. So I didn't mind that.

622
00:32:15.559 --> 00:32:16.920
<v Speaker 1>I didn't mind the decision at all.

623
00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:18.720
<v Speaker 2>I was sorry. The other thing I want to say.

624
00:32:19.240 --> 00:32:21.319
<v Speaker 1>The other thing I want to say about Stu is uh,

625
00:32:21.920 --> 00:32:24.519
<v Speaker 1>you know, so when we had the open houses and calabasas,

626
00:32:25.400 --> 00:32:28.480
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not kidding. One of my watchers disappeared. Do

627
00:32:28.519 --> 00:32:29.599
<v Speaker 1>you think Stu stole it?

628
00:32:32.160 --> 00:32:33.160
<v Speaker 4>Or do you walk or bueler?

629
00:32:33.759 --> 00:32:35.480
<v Speaker 2>Do you think yes or no?

630
00:32:37.599 --> 00:32:40.519
<v Speaker 1>Well Stu certainly wasn't there to buy your house, so

631
00:32:41.079 --> 00:32:43.559
<v Speaker 1>he was walking around seeing what he could see. Sure

632
00:32:43.559 --> 00:32:45.359
<v Speaker 1>had an eye for everything you had in that house.

633
00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:48.480
<v Speaker 1>He talked about your court, a lot of sports memorabilia.

634
00:32:48.759 --> 00:32:51.319
<v Speaker 1>Maybe he had his eye on something. Frett, are you

635
00:32:51.319 --> 00:32:54.799
<v Speaker 1>a lucky lou Do you like to go to open

636
00:32:54.799 --> 00:32:57.640
<v Speaker 1>houses just to go No?

637
00:32:57.640 --> 00:33:01.680
<v Speaker 2>No, not really. I have a well I have many.

638
00:33:02.200 --> 00:33:04.160
<v Speaker 1>But one of my problems is when I used to

639
00:33:04.240 --> 00:33:07.279
<v Speaker 1>walk around into local lake, you know, walk in the morning,

640
00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:11.119
<v Speaker 1>get steps in, and you know, any house that was

641
00:33:11.200 --> 00:33:14.319
<v Speaker 1>being built, and a lot of houses were being rebuilt

642
00:33:14.359 --> 00:33:17.319
<v Speaker 1>there on the ground up. I just walk in them.

643
00:33:17.359 --> 00:33:19.960
<v Speaker 1>Well it's a different store. I do that, Oh, Dan,

644
00:33:20.039 --> 00:33:22.720
<v Speaker 1>Like there's houses that are being remodeled, their houses being built.

645
00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:23.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'll go into that.

646
00:33:23.680 --> 00:33:26.359
<v Speaker 1>But if there's a Sunday afternoon or Saturday afternoon open house,

647
00:33:27.799 --> 00:33:30.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't drive around neighborhood looking for open houses and

648
00:33:30.279 --> 00:33:32.680
<v Speaker 1>go into just to spend two hours in the afternoon

649
00:33:32.680 --> 00:33:36.039
<v Speaker 1>looking at open houses. But if there's one being remodeled, yeah,

650
00:33:36.119 --> 00:33:38.400
<v Speaker 1>because I always think maybe I can do this.

651
00:33:38.519 --> 00:33:40.880
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I'll yeah this up and do this. See what

652
00:33:40.960 --> 00:33:42.839
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, it's out there, and what new is out there?

653
00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:49.319
<v Speaker 1>Basically, if people only knew how many basements I've been in. Oh,

654
00:33:49.359 --> 00:33:51.799
<v Speaker 1>this house has a basement, I'm going right in. I

655
00:33:51.839 --> 00:33:53.880
<v Speaker 1>want to see what it looks like what they did

656
00:33:53.920 --> 00:33:56.720
<v Speaker 1>down there? Always walk around and look at houses, all right,

657
00:33:57.200 --> 00:34:00.279
<v Speaker 1>JJ and Beaumont, JJ, Now how do you feel to.

658
00:34:01.640 --> 00:34:03.839
<v Speaker 5>Hey, Chris tin needs to spend time in the battle

659
00:34:03.880 --> 00:34:04.960
<v Speaker 5>case like Mookie did.

660
00:34:05.079 --> 00:34:15.639
<v Speaker 1>And okay, Chris Taylor needs to spend the time in

661
00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:16.719
<v Speaker 1>the batting case like Mookie.

662
00:34:16.760 --> 00:34:17.639
<v Speaker 2>Is that what he said?

663
00:34:18.039 --> 00:34:20.400
<v Speaker 1>I think that's what he said. Well, here's the thing,

664
00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:24.280
<v Speaker 1>and I think that's a fascinating point. I'm sure as

665
00:34:24.280 --> 00:34:27.960
<v Speaker 1>a major league baseball player, Chris Taylor spends absolutely zero

666
00:34:28.039 --> 00:34:32.920
<v Speaker 1>time in the cage. I'm sure as a professional baseball player,

667
00:34:33.639 --> 00:34:37.039
<v Speaker 1>the one thing he does not practice, Rodney is hitting. Yeah,

668
00:34:37.079 --> 00:34:40.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure that doesn't happen. So maybe he needs to

669
00:34:40.079 --> 00:34:43.280
<v Speaker 1>spend some time practicing. I think that's what JJ was saying.

670
00:34:44.119 --> 00:34:48.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it might be, it might be that. Yeah, maybe

671
00:34:48.079 --> 00:34:49.400
<v Speaker 2>that's something. Maybe he's onto something.

672
00:34:49.519 --> 00:34:55.360
<v Speaker 1>Right, Oh, JJ is still there? Yes, all right, So

673
00:34:55.480 --> 00:34:57.320
<v Speaker 1>is that what you meant? You just thought he needs

674
00:34:57.320 --> 00:34:58.440
<v Speaker 1>to practice hitting a little bit?

675
00:34:59.199 --> 00:35:05.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, all right, Bunny, all right, okay.

676
00:35:05.280 --> 00:35:08.119
<v Speaker 1>All right, JJ, all right, thanks JJ. Thanks JJ.

677
00:35:08.400 --> 00:35:08.760
<v Speaker 2>All right.

678
00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:12.559
<v Speaker 1>Uh here's Josh and West Covina. Josh, how are you

679
00:35:12.639 --> 00:35:13.320
<v Speaker 1>feeling today?

680
00:35:15.079 --> 00:35:16.119
<v Speaker 6>I'm feeling really really good.

681
00:35:16.199 --> 00:35:17.880
<v Speaker 7>Actually, I just wanted to say that I was at

682
00:35:17.920 --> 00:35:20.320
<v Speaker 7>game one, game two, I'll be at game five, and

683
00:35:20.400 --> 00:35:21.440
<v Speaker 7>I really think that.

684
00:35:24.159 --> 00:35:28.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, before you said, how were you feeling before before last.

685
00:35:28.440 --> 00:35:31.639
<v Speaker 5>Night's game, I was feeling good.

686
00:35:31.679 --> 00:35:33.599
<v Speaker 7>I mean game two obviously think of the way we

687
00:35:33.639 --> 00:35:37.119
<v Speaker 7>wanted to, but game one was really really well. I

688
00:35:37.320 --> 00:35:39.280
<v Speaker 7>just I knew that. I think all the Doctor fans

689
00:35:39.360 --> 00:35:42.239
<v Speaker 7>knew that they needed a win like this yesterday to

690
00:35:42.280 --> 00:35:44.800
<v Speaker 7>push the momentum forward going into your stadium, and I

691
00:35:44.800 --> 00:35:47.840
<v Speaker 7>think they did exactly what they needed to do, so

692
00:35:47.960 --> 00:35:50.239
<v Speaker 7>they gave their fans a reassurance, you know, coming into

693
00:35:50.239 --> 00:35:51.760
<v Speaker 7>game five, especially at home.

694
00:35:53.719 --> 00:35:57.800
<v Speaker 1>All Right, Yeah, appreciate it, Josh, thanks so much. All Right,

695
00:35:57.800 --> 00:35:59.960
<v Speaker 1>we got a couple more buying everybody saying they feel

696
00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:06.679
<v Speaker 1>good going into game four. Absolutely not not even close. Really,

697
00:36:08.199 --> 00:36:10.760
<v Speaker 1>what are we doing, Rodney, I don't even doing it?

698
00:36:11.920 --> 00:36:14.119
<v Speaker 1>Was this is a stupid idea with the bullpen game.

699
00:36:14.719 --> 00:36:16.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, how did Dodger spend that kind of payroll

700
00:36:16.920 --> 00:36:19.320
<v Speaker 1>not have a starter for game four? Well, I gotta

701
00:36:19.320 --> 00:36:22.880
<v Speaker 1>be honest with you, I agree, how did that happen?

702
00:36:23.360 --> 00:36:26.719
<v Speaker 1>But it just so happened that what they did was

703
00:36:26.800 --> 00:36:27.760
<v Speaker 1>really a good plan.

704
00:36:28.440 --> 00:36:29.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean.

705
00:36:29.599 --> 00:36:31.280
<v Speaker 1>Right, if you really look at the totality of the

706
00:36:31.360 --> 00:36:33.360
<v Speaker 1>roster and the money they spent and the guys they had,

707
00:36:33.440 --> 00:36:35.039
<v Speaker 1>you're going, how the hell don't you have another picture?

708
00:36:35.639 --> 00:36:39.119
<v Speaker 1>How did you get into this situation? I mean, honestly,

709
00:36:39.159 --> 00:36:44.119
<v Speaker 1>you would say that, yes, that's true, but look at

710
00:36:44.159 --> 00:36:47.719
<v Speaker 1>what happened. Hell, I swear to God, I'd let them

711
00:36:47.719 --> 00:36:51.280
<v Speaker 1>go again tomorrow. I'll give Yamamoto them another day arrest

712
00:36:51.360 --> 00:36:54.320
<v Speaker 1>for the next series. If they win that that plan

713
00:36:54.440 --> 00:36:56.440
<v Speaker 1>works and those guys are good. What do you think

714
00:36:56.440 --> 00:37:00.639
<v Speaker 1>about what the caller said, go with Flaherty instead of Yamamoto?

715
00:37:01.079 --> 00:37:01.760
<v Speaker 2>You know what I think?

716
00:37:01.960 --> 00:37:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Honestly? Yeah, I think whoever goes is gonna have the

717
00:37:07.400 --> 00:37:12.079
<v Speaker 1>quickest hook. Anyway, I think if you go with Flarity,

718
00:37:12.239 --> 00:37:16.079
<v Speaker 1>you go with Yamamoto. This is not inning by inning anymore.

719
00:37:16.159 --> 00:37:19.840
<v Speaker 1>This is hit or by hitter tomorrow. That's what it becomes.

720
00:37:21.159 --> 00:37:23.000
<v Speaker 1>You're not going to get a chance to work yourself

721
00:37:23.039 --> 00:37:25.920
<v Speaker 1>out of a jam. If you get into trouble, you're

722
00:37:25.920 --> 00:37:30.280
<v Speaker 1>getting a hook. So you know, if Yamamoto goes it

723
00:37:30.280 --> 00:37:32.360
<v Speaker 1>gets to the first inning, that's a bonus. Let's get

724
00:37:32.400 --> 00:37:35.280
<v Speaker 1>to the second. Let's see if the Dodgers hit. If

725
00:37:35.280 --> 00:37:37.920
<v Speaker 1>he gets in trouble in the second, he's done. Same

726
00:37:37.960 --> 00:37:42.679
<v Speaker 1>with Flerity, you start Flarity. You know he's susceptible to

727
00:37:42.719 --> 00:37:46.280
<v Speaker 1>giving up the home run. So you put him out there.

728
00:37:46.679 --> 00:37:50.800
<v Speaker 1>All good, boom, they get a run. That's it for him.

729
00:37:51.559 --> 00:37:55.760
<v Speaker 1>This bullpen works. Yeah, so I would not mess with it.

730
00:37:56.880 --> 00:37:58.920
<v Speaker 2>No, I wouldn't. It's definitely gonna be a quick hook.

731
00:37:58.960 --> 00:38:02.920
<v Speaker 1>I just think maybe this this could be a Yama

732
00:38:02.920 --> 00:38:06.639
<v Speaker 1>Moto coming out party for the Dodgers and being over here, Well,

733
00:38:06.679 --> 00:38:08.559
<v Speaker 1>it'd be the perfect time, wouldn't He squeezed?

734
00:38:08.639 --> 00:38:09.400
<v Speaker 2>He squeezed that.

735
00:38:09.639 --> 00:38:11.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, Game one, got in some trouble, but you

736
00:38:11.920 --> 00:38:17.159
<v Speaker 1>know they want it. But him coming back in a

737
00:38:17.199 --> 00:38:20.400
<v Speaker 1>close out situation at Dodger Stadium, you know the guy

738
00:38:20.440 --> 00:38:22.159
<v Speaker 1>they went out and got and spent all that money

739
00:38:22.159 --> 00:38:27.079
<v Speaker 1>on this is this is why they got him. This

740
00:38:27.280 --> 00:38:28.840
<v Speaker 1>is why they got him. I mean, we're sitting here

741
00:38:28.880 --> 00:38:30.920
<v Speaker 1>talking about they don't have a starter for game four,

742
00:38:30.960 --> 00:38:34.159
<v Speaker 1>but game five close out. This is why they got him.

743
00:38:34.599 --> 00:38:37.159
<v Speaker 1>And it's almost like we said about you, Darvish when

744
00:38:37.159 --> 00:38:39.719
<v Speaker 1>they went and got him at the trade deadline. Game

745
00:38:39.800 --> 00:38:41.599
<v Speaker 1>seven of the World Series is why they went out

746
00:38:41.599 --> 00:38:45.199
<v Speaker 1>and got him. And we know, we don't know how

747
00:38:45.239 --> 00:38:49.480
<v Speaker 1>that went, but I just think that, you know, this

748
00:38:49.519 --> 00:38:50.239
<v Speaker 1>could be.

749
00:38:50.119 --> 00:38:54.719
<v Speaker 2>One of those moments for Yamamoto where I've arrived or.

750
00:38:54.719 --> 00:38:57.960
<v Speaker 1>This is my moment, all right, Ruben and san Diego.

751
00:38:58.440 --> 00:39:02.599
<v Speaker 1>Rubin checks and whether it's Ruben, how you feeling today.

752
00:39:03.280 --> 00:39:05.920
<v Speaker 8>I'm feeling confident going into tomorrow, but I do have

753
00:39:06.400 --> 00:39:09.480
<v Speaker 8>well quick quick thing first. I'd go Flairty quick cook

754
00:39:09.559 --> 00:39:13.800
<v Speaker 8>batter by batter, no question. My two concerns about tomorrow

755
00:39:14.239 --> 00:39:17.199
<v Speaker 8>is that as good as the bullpen was yesterday, they've

756
00:39:17.559 --> 00:39:19.639
<v Speaker 8>the padres. Now I've seen these guys. They got some

757
00:39:19.760 --> 00:39:23.119
<v Speaker 8>looks yesterday, and I'd be just a little worried about

758
00:39:23.480 --> 00:39:25.599
<v Speaker 8>them going at it a second time. So I just

759
00:39:25.599 --> 00:39:27.000
<v Speaker 8>want to put that out there because I don't think

760
00:39:27.039 --> 00:39:29.599
<v Speaker 8>that's been brought up, and I know a guy.

761
00:39:29.440 --> 00:39:31.360
<v Speaker 1>I didn't see some of those guys, didn't see some

762
00:39:31.440 --> 00:39:33.239
<v Speaker 1>of the guys in the bullpen. Yeah, you altered the

763
00:39:33.320 --> 00:39:36.039
<v Speaker 1>order of the guy. They altered them. And guys only

764
00:39:36.039 --> 00:39:38.960
<v Speaker 1>went three batters a lot of times. And so guys

765
00:39:39.000 --> 00:39:41.239
<v Speaker 1>on that team didn't get a chance to see everybody.

766
00:39:42.159 --> 00:39:44.280
<v Speaker 1>And you, I'm sure they're looking at the analytics and

767
00:39:44.360 --> 00:39:47.800
<v Speaker 1>changing it up and going, okay, he saw Tattine, Machado

768
00:39:47.920 --> 00:39:50.400
<v Speaker 1>and cronin Worth. Oh okay, so we're going to change

769
00:39:50.400 --> 00:39:52.559
<v Speaker 1>it up and he's going to get eight nine and one.

770
00:39:52.400 --> 00:39:55.199
<v Speaker 2>Now, all right? All right?

771
00:39:55.400 --> 00:39:58.360
<v Speaker 5>That that my nerves just kind of came down. U.

772
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:01.880
<v Speaker 2>That's what we do, baby, That's what we do here,

773
00:40:02.840 --> 00:40:03.480
<v Speaker 2>all right, all right?

774
00:40:03.960 --> 00:40:08.320
<v Speaker 8>But I'm I'm left with one concern.

775
00:40:08.360 --> 00:40:09.760
<v Speaker 6>And I know Max a Monksy.

776
00:40:09.480 --> 00:40:11.360
<v Speaker 8>Got the big I think there was a double yesterday,

777
00:40:11.400 --> 00:40:14.719
<v Speaker 8>but he did punch out I think two times. And

778
00:40:14.880 --> 00:40:18.920
<v Speaker 8>I'm still seeing not the highly selective Max Mounsey.

779
00:40:19.000 --> 00:40:19.679
<v Speaker 5>We all know.

780
00:40:20.519 --> 00:40:21.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I would like to.

781
00:40:21.800 --> 00:40:26.280
<v Speaker 8>See just a little bit more selective I from monthsy.

782
00:40:26.639 --> 00:40:29.400
<v Speaker 8>Uh you know that that term pass the baton saying

783
00:40:29.519 --> 00:40:31.920
<v Speaker 8>I he's just a little antsy and quick.

784
00:40:32.320 --> 00:40:34.840
<v Speaker 5>The big swing. That's still a little concern for me.

785
00:40:35.599 --> 00:40:36.159
<v Speaker 2>Was that walking.

786
00:40:36.559 --> 00:40:38.880
<v Speaker 1>You know, months he was you know, he was just

787
00:40:39.199 --> 00:40:41.280
<v Speaker 1>strike out the guy, home run guy. But he also

788
00:40:41.320 --> 00:40:43.840
<v Speaker 1>walked a lot. He sure did. It's very selective and

789
00:40:44.360 --> 00:40:46.960
<v Speaker 1>you're right, he's right. We haven't seen that from him.

790
00:40:46.960 --> 00:40:49.679
<v Speaker 1>He's been very anxious. Well, he's trying to hit it

791
00:40:49.719 --> 00:40:53.119
<v Speaker 1>to Tijuaa last night exactly exactly. He's the guy that

792
00:40:53.119 --> 00:40:56.159
<v Speaker 1>could cork screw himself under the ground. Yeah, swinging so hard. Yeah,

793
00:40:56.239 --> 00:40:58.679
<v Speaker 1>Schmoltz even said that on the broadcast. Is that, you know,

794
00:40:58.920 --> 00:41:01.480
<v Speaker 1>Max is a normally a guy that has got a

795
00:41:01.559 --> 00:41:04.800
<v Speaker 1>great eye and knows the strike zone. But you're right,

796
00:41:04.840 --> 00:41:06.679
<v Speaker 1>he's trying to hit it to Tijuana and then down

797
00:41:06.719 --> 00:41:07.239
<v Speaker 1>the cobble.

798
00:41:08.239 --> 00:41:08.559
<v Speaker 5>All right.

799
00:41:08.559 --> 00:41:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Wrapping up with Mike and Apple Valley, go ahead, Mike, Okay,

800
00:41:13.039 --> 00:41:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Mike's gone.

801
00:41:13.519 --> 00:41:14.119
<v Speaker 2>All right, that's it.

802
00:41:14.840 --> 00:41:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Uh, Bobby and ar Daya the Athletic is going to

803

804
00:41:26.639 --> 00:41:30.000
