I have a two to nothing 18 00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:07.319 lead over the New York Yankees in the twenty twenty 19 00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:10.120 four World Series. I am Tim Kates, joined by a 20 00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:13.280 two time World Series champion, a Rookie of the Year 21 00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:17.599 and one hell of a guy and I'm sitting three 22 00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:22.159 feet away from him. He's in studio. He is Steven Sack. Saxy. 23 00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:25.120 Good morning, morning, Tim, My God, so good to be 24 00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:27.519 with you, So good to see you face with face. 25 00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:30.239 It's been way too long, Saxy, it has been. 26 00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:32.519 But you know what, we're here for a good reason, 27 00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:34.719 are we. I mean, it's been a long time, but 28 00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:37.400 this brings us together. I was a bit dismayed though, 29 00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:40.439 you know, I come into La and uh, you know, 30 00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:42.480 I expect a you know, kind of a you know, 31 00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:45.719 kind of upper class type of accommodations, you know, when 32 00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:47.400 I get here, and you know, I'm saying with the 33 00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:49.680 I'm saying with the Kates family, and uh. 34 00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:51.239 My wife wishes. 35 00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:54.879 But I'm out there and like this, the futon in 36 00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:57.719 the garage, I'm thinking, Tim, come on, at least that 37 00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:00.280 is a little guest house or something, you know, a little. 38 00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:02.239 Just for a while. Yeah. We figured if it's good 39 00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:06.200 enough for the dog. His name again is Midi, Midi, Yeah, yeah, Midi. 40 00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:08.879 If it's good enough for the dog, it's good enough 41 00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:12.360 for Steve Sacks. So I'm just goofing. Great to see you, Saxy. 42 00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:15.439 S It is awesome to have you in studio. 43 00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:15.719 To hear. 44 00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:18.000 Have you here in southern California. You're gonna be here 45 00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:20.159 for the next couple of days, and who knows, maybe 46 00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:23.120 even back here in Los Angeles later on this week 47 00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:26.039 for a possible Game six if it gets to a 48 00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:28.039 Game six. As a Dodgers have a two to nothing 49 00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:31.080 series lead in this World series, and it's gone just 50 00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:33.919 a script, right, a walk off Grand Slam for Freddie Freeman. 51 00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:36.240 We all expected that to happen, a great moment in 52 00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:38.919 Dodger history, and then a Dodger for two win on 53 00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:41.400 Saturday Night in Game two. I mean, the first two 54 00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:43.800 games of this series have lived up to the hype. 55 00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:46.759 It's been incredible. I mean, you know, the Dodgers hoping, 56 00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:49.479 in the best case scenario, of course, to take a 57 00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:51.800 two game to nothing lead back to New York and 58 00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:54.719 then just finish it out there. I mean, the sentiment 59 00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:58.120 right now over all Dodger fans is, we don't we'd 60 00:02:58.120 --> 00:02:59.800 love to come back to LA, but we want to 61 00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:01.360 come back for a parade, you know what I mean, 62 00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:03.199 Let's close the next two out. But you know, these 63 00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:06.120 two games have been great. You've had contributions across the board. 64 00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:08.520 It hasn't just been the big stars. We talked earlier 65 00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:11.439 about how great Munsey has been playing third base. Amazing 66 00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:13.199 over there. Like you said, we don't talk about it 67 00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:15.000 too much. We don't mention his name. I means he's 68 00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:16.960 doing one heck of a job. And it's just been 69 00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:20.120 great all the way across the board. So Dodgers trying 70 00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:23.159 to obviously, you know, nail this thing down, but I 71 00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:26.439 think more than even advertise, you've had contributions from the top, 72 00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:27.800 from the bottom, and everybody in the middle. 73 00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:31.080 The emotions of these first two games, the drama of 74 00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:33.960 these first two games have lived up to what we 75 00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.319 thought was going to be the greatest World Series that 76 00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:40.479 we've seen, maybe in our lifetime. And the superstars on display, 77 00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:45.199 the role players on display, it has been absolutely fantastic. 78 00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:47.680 The Dodgers' bullpen was supposed to be their strengths. Starting 79 00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:50.280 pitching not so much. Starting pitching has been really good 80 00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:53.280 for the Dodgers and Flaherty and Yamamoto. The dramatics of 81 00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:55.280 Game one of the ninth inning with the Freddie Freeman 82 00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:58.719 Grand Slam comparisons to Gibbey's home run in nineteen eighty eight, 83 00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:01.639 which of course you were there for Game two and ya, 84 00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:03.759 I'm a moto start the dramatics of the ninth inning, 85 00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:06.840 hanging on with the bases loaded in the ninth inning 86 00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:09.240 and getting out of it thanks to Alex Vesia and 87 00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:12.000 to have a two zero series lead, and then oh yeah, show, hey, 88 00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:15.439 Otani's got a messed up shoulder. We expect him to 89 00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:18.160 play in game three. But man, the dramatics of this 90 00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:21.040 series have been off the charge. Yes, they have been crazy, 91 00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:23.279 and Dodgers expecting him to play. Of course they have 92 00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:26.279 a contingency plan if he can't, and we can maybe 93 00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:28.959 go through that a little bit later. But nonetheless, they're 94 00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:31.480 in a great position right now. They're thinking right now 95 00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:34.439 in the locker room is don't think past game three. 96 00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:36.360 That's very important not to do. I know it sounds 97 00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:38.480 like a cliche, but you can't get out there and 98 00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:40.560 think too far. You got to handle what's in front 99 00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:42.600 of you now. And that's only game three. We got 100 00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:44.439 a lot to get to over the next three hours, 101 00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:45.959 and a lot of it has to do with you. 102 00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:48.439 In eight sixty six nine eight seven, two five seven, 103 00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:49.800 he want you to be a part of the show. 104 00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:52.920 In the seven o'clock hour, Doctor David Chow longtime team 105 00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:55.120 doctor for the Chargers, is going to join us now 106 00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:58.399 an expert, an analyst on injuries and sports. He's gonna 107 00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:01.399 join us to talk about show Hey Tawy's shoulder injury 108 00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:03.759 and where it kind of ranks as far as severity 109 00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:06.040 and kiddie play through it, what are the long term 110 00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:08.519 effects of it? And then David Vassay, who's in New York, 111 00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:11.639 traveled yesterday with the team to get to NYC. He 112 00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:13.959 will join us in the eight o'clock hour against Steve's Keys, 113 00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:16.279 we'll hear from Walker Bueller, the game three starter coming 114 00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:18.959 up in the eight o'clock hour. What a Friday night. 115 00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:21.800 It was a Dodger Stadium saxe. After the pregame show, 116 00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:25.360 I drove quickly, did not have any traffic, got there 117 00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:27.279 in about fifteen twenty minutes from here at the station 118 00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:30.079 in Burbank to Dodger Stadium, pulled into the parking lot, 119 00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:33.160 ran inside the stadium, got there in the first inning, 120 00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:38.199 and it was a nine inning drama fest from just 121 00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:41.959 the emotions of every out, every at bat, the Dodger 122 00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:45.600 stranding runners, the Yankees having a couple of opportunities against 123 00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:48.439 Jack Flerity and flerity getting out of it. It felt 124 00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:50.759 like an up and down you're breathing. It was just 125 00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:54.199 in and out. It was emotionally draining. And then you 126 00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:56.680 get to the ninth inning and we have this home 127 00:05:56.759 --> 00:06:00.680 run call Freddie Freeman bases loaded. What a moments The 128 00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:05.519 scenario you dream about. Freddy is living first pitch, swinging high. 129 00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:17.120 Fly ball, hit deep, Freddie Freeman channeling is inner. Kirk Dison, 130 00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:21.439 Oh walk up home run in Game one of the 131 00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:30.519 World Theerries, Hey, walk up grand flam.

How about the Japanese call of the 138 00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:05.759 Freddy Freeman grand slam in the ninth inning on Friday? 139 00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:22.399 Puts it, Jax, Tim. 140 00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:26.120 Monday, hold on, he. 141 00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:29.839 Came in, kicks it in. 142 00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:36.120 Hold On, Cion got Syonara. We all know that I 143 00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:38.079 know what that is. That's yeah, we know what that is. 144 00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:40.399 There sounds like there's a bunch of dudes hanging out, 145 00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:42.639 just having some food or something in the background. 146 00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:46.399 Didn't It was just fun. Jad. What a moment it 147 00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:49.720 was Friday night at Dodger Stadium. I was on the 148 00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:52.839 loads level standing watching the game, sort of behind home played. 149 00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:55.120 It happened to be right behind the Yankees Families and 150 00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:58.000 Friends section in the load section, And when he hit 151 00:07:58.040 --> 00:07:59.720 the home run, I didn't think he got all of 152 00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:01.680 it the morse. He couldn't hear it. I couldn't see 153 00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:04.959 the trajection of the ball. But it goes out, plays 154 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:07.839 goes crazy. I turn around yelling, I can't believe it. 155 00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:10.879 Next thing I know, I'm chess bumping dudes, high fiving guys. 156 00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:15.079 Everybody's hugging each other. Dodger Stadium was shaking with the 157 00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:18.399 fifty six thousand that were there that moment. Saxy is 158 00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:21.519 being compared to nineteen eighty eight. Yes, Kurt Gibson's home 159 00:08:21.600 --> 00:08:23.879 run and you on deck. Did it bring back memories? 160 00:08:23.959 --> 00:08:28.199 Yes, absolutely, and as big in my estimation. I mean 161 00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:32.000 that boat from the perspective of, you know, seeing it 162 00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:34.879 at home on TV. The thing about Freddie Freeman, you 163 00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:36.960 can see when he sets up in his hands behind 164 00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:40.159 his head and his elbows up. He's in a launching 165 00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:42.679 position as you should be before the pitch comes. He 166 00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:44.639 doesn't set up, you know, once it's on the way, 167 00:08:44.679 --> 00:08:48.799 he's already there. His path to the bar ball is 168 00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:52.360 extremely short. That's why coming off the bat, I don't 169 00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:53.840 know if he got it or not, but if you 170 00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:56.639 see it in slow motion, he got extended really quick, 171 00:08:57.080 --> 00:08:59.720 and he keeps his hands inside the ball real well. 172 00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:02.039 And that ball took off like a rocket. I knew 173 00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:03.080 as soon as he hit it was gone. 174 00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:05.279 And you know, Freddy Freeman is the kind of guy 175 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:07.279 that he's not going to raise his bat and have 176 00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:09.559 it scraped the wall, you know, you know what I mean, Yeah, 177 00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:13.159 that thing's going. And so that was as big a 178 00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:16.360 home run as the Gibson home run. I think it 179 00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:17.200 was just incredible. 180 00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:19.399 If the Dodgers go on to win the World Series, 181 00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:21.879 this is right up there with ghibbees. Rick Monday's home 182 00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:25.480 running Game five Blue Monday NLDS against the Montreal Expos, 183 00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:29.200 but the moment down against the Yankees ninth inning or 184 00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:31.919 extra what was it extra inning? Extra extra innings, and 185 00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:35.200 he hits the whole the Grand slam may mean the 186 00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:40.440 things to get to this point, Otani's up pops out, 187 00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:43.519 Fordugo catches it, carries it in, and then throws it 188 00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:47.200 back from foul territory. So the Runners advanced to second 189 00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:48.759 and third a rule. A lot of people are like, 190 00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:51.360 what the heck? Why'd they advance? Nobody knew the rule. 191 00:09:51.799 --> 00:09:55.120 And then to the decision to walk Mookie Betts to 192 00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:58.320 get to Freddie Freeman and want to pitch to Freddy, 193 00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:03.159 and Freddy Facesester Cortes and absolutely crushes that ball. All 194 00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:05.399 these things have to set up in order to get 195 00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:06.679 to this moment, and it worked out. 196 00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:09.039 Perfect, and a month ago it has to go there 197 00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:11.840 there too, because how long has it been since Nestor 198 00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:14.919 Cortez is thirty seven days, So we're talking about over 199 00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:17.799 a month. We're talking about this setup happening here. And 200 00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:20.519 you know what, what'd you think Tim about the decision 201 00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:23.679 to walk Freddy Freeman? I mean, look, if Mookie Betts 202 00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:25.720 gets up and hits one in the gap, we're gonna say, 203 00:10:25.759 --> 00:10:27.559 why did you walk him and pitch to Freddy? I 204 00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:30.919 mean it's gonna be the same thing. It's uh, you know, 205 00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:32.279 pick your poison on this one. 206 00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:35.200 Yeah, I don't think one of the lefty lefty matchup. Yeah, 207 00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:36.799 and they got it. And that's the bit. 208 00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:39.399 That's the baseball move, right, that's the right baseball move. 209 00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:43.600 Absolutely, and Nestor Cortes, you know, afterwards, was talking about it. 210 00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:47.360 Aaron Bona is getting absolutely destroyed. Yeah, for bringing Nestor 211 00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:50.000 Cortez in at that point and going lefty lefty. But 212 00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:52.480 Cortez just missed on a pitch and credit to Freddie 213 00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:55.759 Freeman said, Freddy didn't miss that and crush it for 214 00:10:55.879 --> 00:11:00.919 a Grand Slam. But I mean it's it's so reminiscent 215 00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:03.679 of nineteen eighty eight in the home run from Gibbie. 216 00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:05.480 But then you have to come back the next day 217 00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:07.559 and play a baseball game. Yeah, just like you guys 218 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:09.759 had to come back in nineteen eighty in Game two. 219 00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:12.480 But you had Oral herscheizer on the mount in Game two, 220 00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:14.639 and it was important for the Dodgers then to have 221 00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:19.159 Yamamoto be that star ace pitcher like Oral came out 222 00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:22.440 and put up zeros for you guys against the Oakland 223 00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:24.879 as they need a Yamamoto to do that, because if 224 00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:26.799 you want to lose Game two on Saturday night, what 225 00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:29.639 happened Friday night with Freddie Freeman. Doesn't mean anything exactly. 226 00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:32.039 Now they got him in a good spot. Hey, definitely 227 00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:35.600 not over. In eighty one, we lost the first two 228 00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:37.279 games and came back in won four in a row. 229 00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:37.879 Can it happen? 230 00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:39.879 Oh yes, I've seen it happen. I've been on a 231 00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:41.759 team that did it, so it can happen. The other 232 00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:43.919 thing I was gonna mention to you, Tim, is the 233 00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:49.559 question mark about Nesser Cortez. Listen it when they questioned 234 00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:52.440 why did you bring him in? If you're gonna ask 235 00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:55.120 me that question, why don't you say why is he 236 00:11:55.240 --> 00:11:57.679 on the team? Right, He's on the team because you 237 00:11:57.720 --> 00:12:00.240 think you can get somebody out. Yeah, I mean let's 238 00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:01.720 go back to what to putting him on the. 239 00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:02.159 Team or not. 240 00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:04.879 Okay, if you don't think he can get anybody out, 241 00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:07.679 don't have me have an option of bringing him in 242 00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:08.240 the ball game. 243 00:12:08.279 --> 00:12:10.440 I mean it's crazy. I mean, just two matters before 244 00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:13.519 he gets Otani to pop out on the first pitch 245 00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:16.120 that he throws to him. So he does his job there, Yeah, 246 00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:19.120 did it all year? Gets out Otani, best hitter in baseball, 247 00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:22.720 walk Freeman get to another left hander, they brought him 248 00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:25.720 in as a left hander to face these two hitters 249 00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:29.360 as specifically. Yeah, for the Yankees, it lined up perfectly. 250 00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:32.840 Left on left. We feel good about Cortes, even though 251 00:12:32.840 --> 00:12:35.919 he hadn't pitched in a while. Job done against our tani. Okay, 252 00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:39.080 we get bets on first. Let's go right after Freeman 253 00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:41.200 left you on left. Even Freeman just made him pay. 254 00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:43.600 Yeah, and if that ball's you know, if that ball's 255 00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:45.360 six inches on the you know, this side of the 256 00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:46.759 place where it was supposed to be, but it was 257 00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:49.480 supposed to be, we're not having this conversation. But he 258 00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:52.679 got it in and Freddy did the one thing that 259 00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:55.840 Ted Williams told me Tim. He said, the most important 260 00:12:55.879 --> 00:12:59.080 thing in hitting is very simple. And I'm like, going 261 00:12:59.559 --> 00:13:02.279 yeah forward, I'm think Ted Williams is gonna tell me 262 00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:04.360 a little nugget here, you know, And it was great, 263 00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:07.159 very simple and you've heard it before. The most important thing, 264 00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:10.679 get a good pitch to hit, don't miss it. Okay, 265 00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:12.600 that's what Freddy did. He got a good pitch hit 266 00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:14.679 and he didn't miss it. And now they're up two 267 00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:15.960 zero eight. 268 00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:18.120 Sixty six nine eighty seven. Two five seventy is our 269 00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:21.240 number a moment that Dodger fans will never forget. On 270 00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:24.000 Friday Night in Game one of this World Series, they 271 00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:26.960 come back and win Game two on Saturday Night, four 272 00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:30.080 to two behind Yoshiyamamoto in three home runs that the 273 00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:32.679 Dodgers hit in Game two, surviving in the ninth inning 274 00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:35.559 with the bases loaded, Alex Vessi comes in and gets 275 00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:37.559 the final out and the Dodgers are now in New 276 00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:41.039 York for the Games three, four, and possibly five of 277 00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:44.120 this World Series, beginning tonight at Yankee Stadium. We got 278 00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:46.960 Morongo Casino Dodgers on deck beginning at four o'clock, first 279 00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:51.279 pitch at five oh eight from the Gallpin Motors broadcast booth. 280 00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:54.200 It was fun to see the Dodger players afterwards, Saxy 281 00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:57.200 the home run hit or the Grand Slam hit. Everybody's 282 00:13:57.240 --> 00:13:59.320 mobbing Freddy Freeman just like you guys at eighty eight, 283 00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:02.600 mobbing Kirk ge It felt and looked so similar. And 284 00:14:02.720 --> 00:14:05.240 then in the moments afterwards, the amount of media they 285 00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:07.480 came on the field, ownership of the Dodgers on the field, 286 00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:09.919 personnels on the field. For the Dodgers, it was a 287 00:14:10.080 --> 00:14:13.639 madhouse along the third base line in between the field 288 00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:16.759 and the dugout, and Freddie Freeman's talking to Kenny Rosenthal. 289 00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:21.639 Freddie Freeman then talks to David Vasse moments afterwards, and 290 00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:24.679 MLB Network's doing their live shots and ESPN's doing their 291 00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:28.759 live shots, and everything's happening in the moment. Five minutes later, 292 00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:33.559 things didn't calm down. It was still loud, nobody was 293 00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:38.440 really leaving, and the players on the field standing around 294 00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:42.320 kind of just marveling at what happened. I specifically looked 295 00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:45.559 in the Dodger dugout and on the top step was 296 00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:49.759 show Hey O Tani and Andy Pojez and Gavin Lux, 297 00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:51.919 the guys I could just picture and see right away, 298 00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:55.240 and a group of Dodger players They're just sort of 299 00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:57.960 just looking at each other and standing there in amazement. 300 00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:00.559 They couldn't believe, Yeah, what it just had happen. Usually 301 00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:03.039 guys making a fast dash to the clubhouse, want to 302 00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:05.039 get out of there as fast as possible, beat the traffic, 303 00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:08.159 talk to the media, do all that. People just stood 304 00:15:08.159 --> 00:15:10.200 around looking at each other. They couldn't believe it, right, 305 00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:12.480 And that's savoring the moment. It's a good thing to do. 306 00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:15.159 On the other side, I don't understand why the other 307 00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:18.559 team sits in the dugout sulking, and we're looking out there, 308 00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:20.360 and I guess they wanted everybody to see how deep 309 00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:22.559 they are, you know, how much they feel the moment. 310 00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:24.919 You know, I mean, you know what, we lost the 311 00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:26.559 game like that. I was high tailing it back in 312 00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:28.600 the clubhouse, and you know, I wanted to throw something 313 00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:30.480 I didn't want to do out in public here, right. So, 314 00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:32.559 but they sit there and they look out there like, 315 00:15:32.639 --> 00:15:34.679 oh my god, you know, just get get in the dugout, 316 00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:36.759 you know, get get in the clubus. But the fact 317 00:15:36.799 --> 00:15:39.039 that Dodgers are out there, that's a great thing because 318 00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:40.919 they're they're they're reving it up. 319 00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:41.120 Man. 320 00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:43.120 Then that's a good thing to do. When you win something, 321 00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:45.360 you got to savor the moment, enjoy it. You think 322 00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:47.320 about tomorrow later on, but you got to enjoy it 323 00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:47.679 right now. 324 00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:50.399 Do you know who caught that home run ball in 325 00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:52.919 right field pavilion on Freddie hit and Freddie hit no 326 00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:56.519 a ten year old kid. Nice, Yeah, good for him. 327 00:15:56.559 --> 00:15:58.399 I saw it on TV last night. They did a 328 00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:00.919 whole story about the family. The mom, the dad, the 329 00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:03.440 ten year old were in the right field pavilion. There 330 00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:06.840 was a scramble for the ball and the kid sort 331 00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:09.159 of like kicked it to his dad or the direction 332 00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:11.519 towards his parents because it was a scramble. The dad 333 00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:13.480 picked it up and immediately handed it to his son 334 00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:16.120 again because he was right there, and the kid got 335 00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:18.279 lifted up had the ball in his hand. Wow. 336 00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:20.440 And now they're talking about the value of this ball. 337 00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:23.080 Oh no, really, and it's just got a college scholarship 338 00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:23.360 right there. 339 00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:27.080 Yeah.
