Speaker 4: A APPA go with Proway.
Speaker 2: Dodger legend Steve Sacks is joined by your favorite Dodger
Speaker 2: pregame host, Tim Kates. If you want to talk Dodgers,
Speaker 2: get in on the show on eighty six six nine,
Speaker 2: eighty seven two five seven now. While the Dan Patrick
Speaker 2: Show streams on the Ihearts radio app. We've been banished
Speaker 2: to the Internet until this Dodgers playoff run concludes. Here
Speaker 2: they are broadcasting live on AM five to seven e
Speaker 2: LA Sports. It's Tim Kates and Steve Sacks.
Speaker 1: Nobody said it was gonna be easy. Sure, the Dodgers
Speaker 1: had a three to zero series lead and we're on
Speaker 1: the verge of sweeping the Yankees, but you know they
Speaker 1: weren't gonna go without a fight on and off the field.
Speaker 1: Yankee fans grabbing Mookie Bets, Yankee players hitting home runs,
Speaker 1: and now it's a Dodgers three to one series lead.
Speaker 1: After the Yankees win Game four last night eleven to four,
Speaker 1: It's Sax and Kate to the Am. Tim Kates, along
Speaker 1: side two time World Series Champion, Rookie of the Year
Speaker 1: and our favorite Number three, Steven Sex. Thanks to Jeff
Speaker 1: Nelson for joining us last hour. David Vasse will join
Speaker 1: us coming up at the bottom of the hour. A
Speaker 1: lot of Dodger fans fired up this morning, saxy about
Speaker 1: what the two Yankee fans did to Mookie Bets, but
Speaker 1: also fired up for this Dodgers team and getting back
Speaker 1: on track. I can feel little tents, attitude, little tints
Speaker 1: feeling around the office here as I make my way
Speaker 1: through the building during the commercial breaks, you know, people
Speaker 1: asking me, what's gonna happen? Can the Yankees got the momental?
Speaker 1: What do you think? Can Jack Felerty stop it tonight?
Speaker 1: What's gonna happen? You think Garrett Cole is gonna to
Speaker 1: dominate the Dodgers. I don't know. I don't know how
Speaker 1: it's to play out. I certainly hope hope Jack fulherity
Speaker 1: goes out there and shoves. I hope the Dodgers offense
Speaker 1: gets after Garrett Cole, Bud. You can feel the tense feelings. Now,
Speaker 1: what what's this celibratory mood yesterday? And getting ready for
Speaker 1: a world series parade, and some idiot on the radio
Speaker 1: said this series is O v R. I don't know
Speaker 1: who that was, but now we got ourselves for fight here, Sack.
Speaker 3: You got a nice little fight going right now.
Speaker 5: I think that the general narrative has to be with
Speaker 5: the Dodgers in that locker room is one word, and
Speaker 5: that's trust. You gotta trust what you got going. You
Speaker 5: gotta trust you know, the guys, the starters. You got
Speaker 5: three guys lined up right now. You know, for the
Speaker 5: most part, you know, you wish everybody's one hundred percent healthy.
Speaker 3: They're not.
Speaker 5: Freddie is not one hundred percent healthy, but it has
Speaker 5: an affected him. Right Otani of course is having to
Speaker 5: hold his arm up to his in his jersey so
Speaker 5: he can run properly. He's not one hundred percent, but
Speaker 5: that's okay.
Speaker 1: They're still playing.
Speaker 5: There's still banging heads with these guys, and you just
Speaker 5: got to trust that you're really, you know, got the
Speaker 5: best you can be considered. You know, along the lines
Speaker 5: of the injuries, you have the guys that you got it,
Speaker 5: guys that are hot on this team, that can do it,
Speaker 5: and so yeah, you just got to say trust it
Speaker 5: and let her go.
Speaker 6: All right.
Speaker 1: I don't mean to go after show Heyotani, but I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go after Showyotani. I know he's got the bang
Speaker 1: dubb shoulder, but if he's good enough to get out
Speaker 1: there and play show Hey, needs to be show Hey.
Speaker 1: I need to see some of these the show Hey
Speaker 1: magic out of Show Hey Otani. Runners on base last night,
Speaker 1: had an opportunity, came up, could not deliver, had a
Speaker 1: hit last night, but also struck out last night. Has
Speaker 1: been very quiet in this World Series outside of the
Speaker 1: ball he hit off the wall and it ended up
Speaker 1: at third base at the game at Dodger Stadium. Just
Speaker 1: haven't seen a lot of Otani. I know they're saying
Speaker 1: the same thing about Aaron Judge in New York. But
Speaker 1: this is the World Series. This is the biggest stage.
Speaker 1: Superstars have to be at that level. We're seeing it
Speaker 1: from Freddie Freeman, got to see it from Showey Ootani.
Speaker 1: We just have to first.
Speaker 5: Pitch of the game yesterday, probably a foot and a
Speaker 5: half two feet out of the zone. He offered it
Speaker 5: the pitch. Okay, look things about that number one. I
Speaker 5: don't want to take the aggressiveness out of Show Hey Otani.
Speaker 1: I like the action.
Speaker 5: I like him, you know, putting it on the line
Speaker 5: and being aggressive and going for it. However, you know,
Speaker 5: professionally speaking, ball's way too high. You know what the
Speaker 5: differences are. But when you have a one oh count
Speaker 5: compared to an oh one count, they're massive differences. So
Speaker 5: every pitch can get can get the whittled down to
Speaker 5: the micro level and you can kind of analyze the
Speaker 5: hell out of this. But you know what, let her fly?
Speaker 5: I mean, what the heck? You don't want to change
Speaker 5: the essence of what Otani's about. He's an aggressive guy.
Speaker 5: You know, he's looking to go deep every time he
Speaker 5: gets in the box. Damn he almost hit sixty this year. Yeah,
Speaker 5: let him go. And I think, look, he's only got
Speaker 5: to be right once. I mean, you get three guys
Speaker 5: on like Freddie Freeman did and hit the Grand Slam,
Speaker 5: you only got to be right one time, right, And
Speaker 5: that pitcher has to be right every pitch. He's only
Speaker 5: got to be right once.
Speaker 1: What about a god like Maxi Muncie oh for three
Speaker 1: three punch outs last night he drew walk and as
Speaker 1: what you mentioned earlier, there was that one time he
Speaker 1: had twelve stream row. Yeah, I get it. He's he
Speaker 1: can walk, he can get on bays. We can certainly
Speaker 1: know he get the long ball. I look at the
Speaker 1: bats last night and then even go back to the
Speaker 1: last couple of games here this World Series. Max a
Speaker 1: munths he doesn't look completely comfortable at the play. He's
Speaker 1: chasing pitches. He doesn't seem like his timing's on. You
Speaker 1: can make a case he looks lost at the plate.
Speaker 5: Well, he's chasing the high pitch right now. There are
Speaker 5: some really good sliders that were thrown down and into
Speaker 5: the back foot of Muncie, and he took him.
Speaker 3: He spit right on him.
Speaker 1: I mean three inches out.
Speaker 5: Of the zone and I'm thinking d yum Man, Max
Speaker 5: is on it now, you know. And then they throw
Speaker 5: the pitch up in the zone. He's a high ball hitter.
Speaker 5: That's where he makes his living. And he know he did.
Speaker 5: He swings and misses. He has a little bit of
Speaker 5: a trend to swing upward on the ball, as do
Speaker 5: most hitters today. He liked that, right, Yeah, what we
Speaker 5: don't want to get down that road. No, I don't
Speaker 5: like that. But that's the way. That's what it is today.
Speaker 5: And you know what it's not. It's almost like you
Speaker 5: live or die with it. You know he's gonna get
Speaker 5: a home run or he's gonna swing and miss. And
Speaker 5: that's why I like swinging down to the ball. But
Speaker 5: that's another story. But I think if he just brings
Speaker 5: it down. See, for a lot of hitters, you got
Speaker 5: to tell that. You gotta make sure that you tell yourself, hey,
Speaker 5: I got to make that picture bring the ball up,
Speaker 5: because most of the time they get you down out
Speaker 5: low on the zone. Today, hitters aren't pitchers aren't stupid.
Speaker 5: They know that hitters like to swing up on the ball.
Speaker 5: So if you're pitching up in the zone and he's
Speaker 5: swinging up, guess where he's gonna hit at the bottom
Speaker 5: of the ball like they want to do, and they're
Speaker 5: gonna either pop it up or swing and miss. So
Speaker 5: that's why today you've got to have a guy like
Speaker 5: Max Munsey say, hey, I got to make this guy
Speaker 5: bring the ball down in the zone so I can
Speaker 5: get more of a level cut at the ball. So
Speaker 5: that's what it is today. It's opposite when I was playing,
Speaker 5: it's make him bring it up. Today's version is make
Speaker 5: him bring it down. And I think that's what Max
Speaker 5: has to.
Speaker 1: Do great analysis from the great Steve Sacks there on
Speaker 1: Max Munsey what he needs to do and certainly if
Speaker 1: he can get it going, just another added factor for
Speaker 1: this Dodgers off events going into Game five tonight. Mookie
Speaker 1: Bets last night drove in a run, Mookie had a
Speaker 1: base base excuse me, scored a run, and also had
Speaker 1: that incident along the right field line. Afterwards. Mookie Betts
Speaker 1: didn't want to hear about the incident down the line
Speaker 1: when he talked to the media.
Speaker 7: And when it comes to the person in play, it
Speaker 7: doesn't matter. We lost, it's irrelevant. I'm fine, he's fine,
Speaker 7: everything's cool, and we need the game. We lost the game,
Speaker 7: and that's that's what I'm kind of focused on. You
Speaker 7: got to turn the page and get ready.
Speaker 3: For tomorrow game story much.
Speaker 8: I'm not sure.
Speaker 7: I can't look back over there. Everything's fine.
Speaker 3: A lot of you guys were talking about that.
Speaker 7: You the Yankees working to lay down You know, what
Speaker 7: did you see differently out of out of the them?
Speaker 7: Obviously they hit the wall, but just to kind of
Speaker 7: turn the page for the fight they're gonna fight. If
Speaker 7: you made it this far, you you have a resilient team.
Speaker 7: That's gonna fight the whole time. We expect that. Obviously,
Speaker 7: we didn't play well today and they did, and that's
Speaker 7: why they won. The feeling of ready home and again
Speaker 7: the first inning for too nothing to leave, it just
Speaker 7: went out. I mean the show great, it's great trying
Speaker 7: to get on the board first, and that they fall
Speaker 7: back and can't do anything about it. Now do you
Speaker 7: ever have to rationality? No, I've never had that, but
Speaker 7: again it's a rodant.
Speaker 8: You guys have been so patient at the plate.
Speaker 1: There were a few more strikeouts today or what you
Speaker 1: attribute that to?
Speaker 7: Is it just trying to make something happen in later
Speaker 7: in I would say we're human beings and we're not
Speaker 7: machines up there. So they had a bad game and
Speaker 7: as part of it, so we upturned the page and
Speaker 7: get ready for tomorrow.
Speaker 9: Do you feel like you're still pretty control of the series.
Speaker 8: Or when a team wins a game like this you're
Speaker 8: worried and might get.
Speaker 10: Them a little more life.
Speaker 7: I mean, we're up three to one right now. We
Speaker 7: feel pretty good about it. But you needed that they're
Speaker 7: they're gonna fight. It doesn't matter what the score is
Speaker 7: and doesn't matter when when they're gonna They're gonna fight,
Speaker 7: and so just I mean, no lead is safe until
Speaker 7: you win the fourth game. Well, so, Muki, you know
Speaker 7: going into this, you knew this was going to be
Speaker 7: an up and down series.
Speaker 3: Anyway, some good for him and some.
Speaker 10: Good good for you.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, they didn't make it this far on accident,
Speaker 7: So you know what I mean. Act they're a really
Speaker 7: good ball club, and they showed it tonight.
Speaker 1: All right, there's a mookie post game last night. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure the constant asking them about did you expect
Speaker 1: the Yankees to keep put up a fight? Do you
Speaker 1: did you expect this to be a serious Of course
Speaker 1: they expected it to be a series. Of course, the
Speaker 1: Yankees are going to put up a fight. They're not
Speaker 1: going to go quietly. They got here. They want to win,
Speaker 1: was what I mean. Sometimes the media ask such stupid questions.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, no, we know, we expect them to lay down.
Speaker 5: I can't believe they even you know, got one run.
Speaker 5: We were shocked to see them, quite shocked. You believe
Speaker 5: they were the best team in the American League. I
Speaker 5: can't believe they're here and they're fighting against us, and
Speaker 5: what do you think they're gonna do.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know if I like the fact that.
Speaker 1: I mean, he doesn't want to harp on the incident
Speaker 1: in the first and I understand that, but uh, it
Speaker 1: was a big incident. I mean, he wants to downplay.
Speaker 1: He says, I'm fine, it say irrelevant, we lost the game.
Speaker 1: I get all that, but I mean, Mooki, it's it's
Speaker 1: a pretty serious incident fan grabbing on to you and
Speaker 1: holding on, not letting you move.
Speaker 5: Muki's an absolute, you know, top flight competitor. And I'm
Speaker 5: not speaking for Mooki at all, that's not my business,
Speaker 5: but I got to think that he said, man, I'd
Speaker 5: like to thump that sucker. I mean, of course he would.
Speaker 5: You know who wouldn't you know?
Speaker 3: Some loser like.
Speaker 1: That is grabbing the ball out of your God.
Speaker 5: The more I think about it, right, and I'm just kidding,
Speaker 5: I'm like you, I'm getting ticked off, right, And I
Speaker 5: don't want to do that. That's not a good spot.
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't want to be ticked off. It's
Speaker 5: not good We said it earlier.
Speaker 1: It's like a WWE match in which the referee is
Speaker 1: not looking in these two Jabbroni knuckleheads from New York.
Speaker 1: One grabs a wrist, the other one grabs the other
Speaker 1: arm and tries to get the ball out. Now, like,
Speaker 1: nobody's gonna see this. What's a Jabbroni? You've used it
Speaker 1: a few times. I haven't gotten to grasp what a
Speaker 1: Jabbroni is?
Speaker 11: Is that?
Speaker 5: Is that a is that just kind of like a
Speaker 5: surname for something or what is it?
Speaker 1: It's just like an idiot, you know, a foolish dude.
Speaker 8: Dude.
Speaker 5: You know, I was gonna I almost almost a loser, Yeah,
Speaker 5: I almost. I was going to use the word. These
Speaker 5: guys were a couple of troglodytes. Okay, but but you
Speaker 5: know I didn't go there. I didn't want to, you know,
Speaker 5: do that. But Jabroni is kind of kind of an
Speaker 5: Italian you know, background to it as well, you know, yeah,
Speaker 5: an idiot, a stupid guy. Yeah, a loser, you know,
Speaker 5: Jabroni freaking loser, Yeah, trogadit'e a guy that lives under
Speaker 5: a bridge or you know, just kind of like a caveman. Like, Okay,
Speaker 5: these guys are about that smart exact.
Speaker 1: PJ and Whitty are you next up here? On Saxon
Speaker 1: Kates and am how you doing? PJ?
Speaker 10: Hey, how you doing?
Speaker 8: Guys?
Speaker 10: Thanks for picking my call. Hey a couple of points here. Yeah,
Speaker 10: since you've been talking about this for a while, last
Speaker 10: few segments that Mookie, this incident terrible. I feel we
Speaker 10: would have been equally as a fit if anything like
Speaker 10: this having a Dodger stadium. So I hope, you know, uh,
Speaker 10: looking at the fans in New York cheering on when
Speaker 10: Otani got hurt, I hope a lot of New York
Speaker 10: fans just you know, just speak out against all that.
Speaker 10: It's really really a bad class. And those two idiots
Speaker 10: you know last night were idiots. I even didn't even
Speaker 10: like when was it and one of our excuse one
Speaker 10: of our fans took away a double or he reached
Speaker 10: over the fence to do that.
Speaker 8: I was upset.
Speaker 10: Even though it costs, it wasn't it wouldn't have been
Speaker 10: a home run, But just the fact that they're interfering,
Speaker 10: I'm like, come on, let them play, don't don't be idiots.
Speaker 10: You're out there to enjoy the game, don't try to
Speaker 10: mess it up. So anyway, on that point, I hope
Speaker 10: the New York media and the New York fans really
Speaker 10: get on these knuckleheads and like, you guys, what the
Speaker 10: heck they're letting them back the next day. Come on.
Speaker 10: So anyway, that's that. The last point is the way
Speaker 10: I see this series is the way I've always seen baseball,
Speaker 10: where and sax you know this. Players have slumps, teams
Speaker 10: have slumps. I'm thinking the Yankees just happened to fall
Speaker 10: into a slump. Uh, And the Dodgers were on a roll.
Speaker 10: If you remember back in the twenty seventeen season when
Speaker 10: the Dodgers during that regular season, they were getting chunks
Speaker 10: of wins like eleven game winning streaks, fourteen game winning streaks,
Speaker 10: and then they hit the big slumps. And I remember
Speaker 10: back then, I'm like, okay, please don't be so don't
Speaker 10: be on the ball just before the playoffs, because nine
Speaker 10: times out of kim, you're going to fall into the slump.
Speaker 10: And in the playoffs these slumps are magnified because it's
Speaker 10: just the short series.
Speaker 9: The Dodgers are on a.
Speaker 10: Roll right after they beat the Padres. I think they
Speaker 10: were on a roll. They were great. Yankees were good,
Speaker 10: but I think they hit a slump. Now yesterday I
Speaker 10: was fearing okay and and I even called it, well,
Speaker 10: my wife, oh this this inning when they had who
Speaker 10: was the three big batters coming? When they got the
Speaker 10: grand slam bump, Bolty, something's going to happen. Sure enough,
Speaker 10: it seemed like to woke, come up, see coming out
Speaker 10: of the slump. But the Dodgers are still doing good there.
Speaker 10: Eventually will get a slump some how if we keep going,
Speaker 10: you know, fourteen to fifteen games, but they have three
Speaker 10: games to win one.
Speaker 9: We're on a roll.
Speaker 10: We should take this. But now it's a series. Like
Speaker 10: you said, I didn't think they would sweep, but now
Speaker 10: it's a series. Even if it comes back on Friday
Speaker 10: the Dodger Stadium, I think the Dodgers still have the momentum.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that about it. Appreciated, PJ. Thanks for checking in.
Speaker 1: The momentum can go back and forth game to game.
Speaker 1: He can maybe go back and forth within a game.
Speaker 1: We certainly saw that last night. But with Jack Flaherty
Speaker 1: on the mountain tonight, and with the high leverage relievers
Speaker 1: from Bonda to Vesia to trying and to bruise dur Garaderole,
Speaker 1: you know, Michael Kopek, I mean those guys are ready.
Speaker 1: Those guys didn't get in the game last night. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they got an extra day's rest. They'll they'll empty the tank,
Speaker 1: so to speak, tonight, Saxy day off tomorrow, and if
Speaker 1: they need to play game six, hey, they'll have forty
Speaker 1: eight hours of rest in between Game five and Game
Speaker 1: six and they'll be right back out there ready to go.
Speaker 1: That's why they didn't use them last night. I got
Speaker 1: a couple tweets you're saying, why not use them?
Speaker 11: Lot?
Speaker 1: So you could use them again tonight, day off tomorrow
Speaker 1: if you need for game six. No, no, no, empty
Speaker 1: the tank tonight in game five and then give them
Speaker 1: a day's rest.
Speaker 5: Right, And again the word trust. I trust Dave Roberts.
Speaker 5: He does the right thing. He knows as good as
Speaker 5: anybody what these players are feeling at the moment the
Speaker 5: game starts. I trust the one hundred percent. So you
Speaker 5: got to go with that. And I don't agree with
Speaker 5: people that say it was a punt yesterday. No, not
Speaker 5: a punt. They intended to win that game, just like
Speaker 5: they do tonight.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Reggie in La. Reggie, thanks you for
Speaker 1: being patient, Thanks for joining us this morning as well.
Speaker 12: How you doing, hey, guys, You know I hope Major
Speaker 12: League Baseball steps in and really comes down and penalizing
Speaker 12: those two guys. And I want to let you know,
Speaker 12: Steve Sack with JABRONI means Debrony means in terms of
Speaker 12: professional rest and is the guy that does all the
Speaker 12: work to make the guy the other guy look good.
Speaker 6: That's all they do.
Speaker 12: They're there to make everyone else look good and not.
Speaker 6: Do anything else. Okay, a couple of things. I know
Speaker 6: I talked to you guys yesterday about Tommy Egnan about it,
Speaker 6: and I know Sax said he liked the versatility. But
Speaker 6: when we saw on one air he had I think
Speaker 6: that was the air had because he wasn't a full
Speaker 6: time short stuff, which any other full time shows. I
Speaker 6: don't think they make that mistake the other. The other
Speaker 6: last thing is when Bolby was was going in second
Speaker 6: and it looked like he got tagged out and then
Speaker 6: he jammed the ball out of his hand. I don't
Speaker 6: understand why he wasn't called out on that play. I
Speaker 6: want to hear his thoughts on that.
Speaker 12: Lastly, and lastly, the secks did you like the national anthem?
Speaker 10: Oh?
Speaker 5: Okay you Reggie, thank you Reggie. So first of all,
Speaker 5: I didn't see I didn't hear the national anthem. I
Speaker 5: turned it on right at five o eight because I
Speaker 5: don't want to talk about maybe my negative attitude about
Speaker 5: the anthem, but I don't want to be discon disenchanted
Speaker 5: with the way I might hear something, and I want
Speaker 5: to go into the game on a positive note. Okay,
Speaker 5: So what was an answer national anthem?
Speaker 11: Tim?
Speaker 1: I know something. Was it a chante that sang the
Speaker 1: national anthem? I think it was pretty good. I have
Speaker 1: seen highlights on social media.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm taking it was pretty good from what you take. Okay,
Speaker 5: So anyway, the ball again, we covered this in the
Speaker 5: last segment. You got to control the ball all the
Speaker 5: way through the tag, not just at the point of impact.
Speaker 5: He was out if he would have controlled the ball,
Speaker 5: But you can't expose the ball to the runner. If
Speaker 5: you do that, bad things happen, like we saw. So
Speaker 5: what I like to do is I like to tag
Speaker 5: the guy with my wrist and cup the ball, you know,
Speaker 5: towards my body, so you protect it and then get
Speaker 5: the heck out of there. You don't want to keep
Speaker 5: it on there unless it's a bang bang play, and
Speaker 5: then you hold it on the runner because he might
Speaker 5: pop off, and that's what they like to do today
Speaker 5: with all the visualization that they have available, So you
Speaker 5: just like to kind of hold it on there and
Speaker 5: see if he does pop off. So everything was okay,
Speaker 5: except I really wouldn't want to expose the ball to
Speaker 5: the runner.
Speaker 1: He is Steve Sacks. I am Tim Kates and Saxon
Speaker 1: Kates and the am here on this Wednesday morning, October thirtieth,
Speaker 1: the Yankees fight to play another game, and that is

Speaker 1: night eleven to four. Dodgers look to get back on

Speaker 9: Good morning, Hey, good morning Joman. How you doing today?
Speaker 5: Good Sam.
Speaker 9: Quessure for you, Steve. I want to talk about hitting
Speaker 9: in bats. Hardness of a bat? Is that a choice
Speaker 9: of like maple of pine, also to evil by feel?
Speaker 9: Is it scientific where you look at the compression of
Speaker 9: the bat to the ball when the hitter is in
Speaker 9: a slump, do you do something that is drastic to
Speaker 9: change your bat?
Speaker 8: That's question?
Speaker 5: Okay, thank you, and the answers would be, uh, yeah,
Speaker 5: some bats are harder than others. Maple tenants has, I
Speaker 5: think is the going word that it's the hardest one.
Speaker 5: White ash, I think is the the other kind, the
Speaker 5: adirond neck bats. And you know, so what I tried
Speaker 5: to do with my bats is the wider the grain
Speaker 5: of the bat. And you can look at this on
Speaker 5: the head of the bat. The wider the grain or
Speaker 5: the fewer lines that you see in the bat the
Speaker 5: heart of the bat is so the theory being if
Speaker 5: you have more lines in there, the bat has a
Speaker 5: tendency be a little bit more porous and not as strong.
Speaker 5: But if you have less lines in the bat, the
Speaker 5: bat has a tendency to be, you know, stronger. So
Speaker 5: I would go with the bat that had the least.
Speaker 3: Amount of lines in it.
Speaker 5: And if you're going bad, can sometimes change a bat
Speaker 5: and that could maybe help you get a little bit.
Speaker 3: Of a better feel.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, all the bats, even though you have the same model,
Speaker 5: feel a little bit different. I use an S two model,
Speaker 5: and I would have one bat and it would feel okay,
Speaker 5: and I have another bat it would feel great.
Speaker 3: And so those are the ones you use for the games.
Speaker 1: Louisville Slugger s too. Is that what it was?
Speaker 5: Yes, m M Louisville Slugger. How many bass do you
Speaker 5: still have? I have a couple. I usually order like
Speaker 5: a dozen a year from louis Really yeah, and then I,
Speaker 5: you know, sometimes people want them and I give him out.
Speaker 5: You know, it's just you have a bat chair and
Speaker 5: I give him out. But the for the most part,
Speaker 5: I don't carry a lot of bats.
Speaker 3: Around the house.
Speaker 5: I do have one bat. It's kind of like Tom
Speaker 5: Cruise did in that movie. Uh, what was the movie
Speaker 5: where You're a good man?
Speaker 3: Yeah? If you good men and.
Speaker 5: I have a bat, it's weird, but I got what
Speaker 5: he was doing in that movie. Because I'll carry my
Speaker 5: bat around when I'm getting ready for a speech and
Speaker 5: it helps me think. It just I carry the bat,
Speaker 5: I kind of hold in my hand, and it just
Speaker 5: lets me be at ease and I can think a
Speaker 5: lot better with the bat.
Speaker 3: I don't know why.
Speaker 1: It takes you into a good moment, good space mentally.
Speaker 1: That's a good thing. Yeah, and always a good thing.
Speaker 1: Is David Vasse, our Dodger insider who joins us from
Speaker 1: New York City as we're gonna play a Game five tonight.
Speaker 1: The Yankees win last night eleven to four, forcing a
Speaker 1: Game five in this best of seven World series. Dave,
Speaker 1: good morning to you. I know you wanted this series
Speaker 1: to be over. A lot of Dodger fans did, but
Speaker 1: here we are at Game five. The Yankees fought back
Speaker 1: last night, and I give a lot of credit to
Speaker 1: the Dodger reliever, especially Land and Nact, for what he
Speaker 1: did last night. I know a lot of Dodger fans
Speaker 1: think that Dave Roberts punted Game four last night, but
Speaker 1: it was a feel situation and the way things went,
Speaker 1: especially late, he stuck with Brent Honeywell, overall, what did
Speaker 1: you think of Game four last night from the Dodger.
Speaker 11: Side, Yeah, I don't think punted is the right word.
Speaker 11: Landon Knack and Bank Cascarius combined to pitch six innings
Speaker 11: and only give up two un runs. It came down
Speaker 11: to one of the real relievers, Daniel Hudson giving up
Speaker 11: a Grand Slam to Anthony Volpi on a really bad pitch.
Speaker 11: He struck out Juan Soto on a great slider, and
Speaker 11: he gave up a Grand Slam to Volpie on maybe
Speaker 11: one of his worst sliders. So I don't think punted
Speaker 11: is the right word. Dave Roberts obviously used the cards
Speaker 11: that he was dealt. That's the situation that Dodgers have
Speaker 11: been in all postseason long, and that's how they've navigated
Speaker 11: the postseason as well. So I know Dodger fans were
Speaker 11: disappointing last night, but look again, I feel like they're
Speaker 11: a little spoiled. But Dodgers are still up three games
Speaker 11: to one with a chance to win the World Series tonight.
Speaker 3: Yeah, agreed, Dave. Good to be with you this morning.
Speaker 5: I want to ask you a little bit about Max
Speaker 5: Max Muncy, such a great display he put on getting
Speaker 5: on base twelve times consecutively. Was amazing, And it looks
Speaker 5: like he's just chasing the ball up in the zone
Speaker 5: maybe a little bit too frequently.
Speaker 3: Right now, we've.
Speaker 5: All been there, we've all done it looks like he's
Speaker 5: really laying off that low ball and the slider in
Speaker 5: the back, the back of the foot. He's doing a
Speaker 5: good job on that, But what's your assessment of months
Speaker 5: he may be just going a little bit too high
Speaker 5: for the ball up in the zone.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I was thinking about that during the game last night, Steve.
Speaker 11: It's really incredible that this is the same guy that
Speaker 11: you know, set a record for reaching base twelve consecutive
Speaker 11: plate appearances, and here he is zero for fifteen. I
Speaker 11: don't know what to make of that, except that the
Speaker 11: Yankees are pitching him really well or he's trying to
Speaker 11: do too much. But I think he's just got to
Speaker 11: go back to being Max Munsey and stop trying to,
Speaker 11: you know, be a hero. I guess I think that's
Speaker 11: what he's got caught up in.
Speaker 1: What about shoey O'tani David certainly his place at the
Speaker 1: top of the lineup. It's a figure there. Then it's
Speaker 1: whether he's healthy or not. He can still do damage
Speaker 1: with one swing of the bat, But Dave Roberts seemed
Speaker 1: a little frustrated last night. They asked him, is he hurt?
Speaker 1: Is this why he's not swinging the bat? Do you
Speaker 1: see any differences? And he said, no, he's chasing pitches.
Speaker 1: He's got to get back to what he does right,
Speaker 1: and that's smaller the zone up in the box and
Speaker 1: you know, whether it's a walk a base, it doesn't
Speaker 1: need to chase pitches out of the zone. It sounded
Speaker 1: a little like frustration from Dave Roberts on what show
Speaker 1: he's doing right now in this World Series.
Speaker 11: Yeah, he's two for fifteen, he only has one extra
Speaker 11: base hit. I think there's no doubt in my mind
Speaker 11: his swing is compromised because of the less shoulder, But
Speaker 11: he's got to be able to just stay within whatever
Speaker 11: his body's allowing him to do. And if it's not
Speaker 11: allowing him to, you know, swing the swing for the fences,
Speaker 11: then take the singles, take the locks. He's a big
Speaker 11: part of the offense and his presence alone means a lot.
Speaker 11: But certainly he's got to be able to He's hurt,
Speaker 11: There's no doubt about it. He's hurt. So he's got
Speaker 11: to figure out a way to be able to, like
Speaker 11: I said, adjust with the injury that he's dealing with.
Speaker 5: Yeah, David, Tonight's when tonight game with Flaherty, I know
Speaker 5: it's going to always be a feel the manager is
Speaker 5: going to have his vegerant to the pulse, and he
Speaker 5: certainly does. But given that, given that fact that there's
Speaker 5: two games after this one, if it gets to that,
Speaker 5: how much will they empty the tank tonight? You know,
Speaker 5: given a two or three run lead, whatever it may be. Again,
Speaker 5: that will dictate, but how much were they willing to go?
Speaker 5: I guess my question is to empty as much as
Speaker 5: they can tonight.
Speaker 11: I think they're in a position to empty the tank, Steve,
Speaker 11: because tomorrow's a day off, and I'm just going by
Speaker 11: recent history on how the Dodgers have navigated the NLCS.
Speaker 11: They're able to use their high leverage relievers tonight, and
Speaker 11: even if they lose the game, they're able to bring
Speaker 11: them back in Game six. So yeah, I think that's
Speaker 11: part of the reason why Dave Roberts didn't use them
Speaker 11: last night. And I know fans are having a hard
Speaker 11: time reconciling that, but that's how he has to navigate
Speaker 11: this with a pitching staff that's a little thinner than others.
Speaker 8: Day.
Speaker 1: We've been talking about it all morning and getting fired
Speaker 1: up every time we watched the video of the two
Speaker 1: knucklehead fans down the right field line. What they did
Speaker 1: to Mookie Betts. Not only did he leap up and
Speaker 1: get it, holding on to his glove, holding on to
Speaker 1: his wrist and prying the ball out of his glove.
Speaker 1: One of the fans after the game, here's this quote.
Speaker 1: We always joke about the ball in our area. We're
Speaker 1: not going to go out of our way to attack.
Speaker 1: If it's in our area, We're going to d up.
Speaker 1: Someone defends, someone knocked the ball, we talk about it.
Speaker 1: We're willing to do this end quote. These guys are
Speaker 1: complete idiots for what they did last night. I know
Speaker 1: Muki didn't want to talk about a postgame, but is
Speaker 1: any talk about it after the game last night, anything
Speaker 1: from the Dodger side about how ridiculous this is.
Speaker 11: Yeah, MOOKI wasn't too happy with it. Obviously he was
Speaker 11: pretty upset, but he was more upset they lost the game. Look,
Speaker 11: I talked about it before. I thought Dodger fans, they
Speaker 11: don't seem to understand the rules either, But those two
Speaker 11: fans went too far. They really could have hurt Mooky
Speaker 11: because he was basically dangling from the high wall with
Speaker 11: these two knuckleheads pinning his two hands on the wall,
Speaker 11: trying to get the ball out of his glove and
Speaker 11: rip the glove off his hand. He really could have
Speaker 11: got hurt. The Dodgers dodged a big bullet right there,
Speaker 11: and I can't believe those guys would be allowed back
Speaker 11: into the Yankee Stadium. I mean, like I said, I've
Speaker 11: tried to explain to Dodger fans because we saw with
Speaker 11: Jerks and Profar Robin Mooki in the NLDS, we saw
Speaker 11: Alex Radugo make a great catch in left field at
Speaker 11: Dodger Stadium and Dodger fans getting out of the way.
Speaker 11: But there's a there's a difference between trying to knock
Speaker 11: the ball out of a player's glove and fell territory
Speaker 11: and what those two guys did that was so over
Speaker 11: the line. And man I heard that they allowed those
Speaker 11: fans to stay in the stadium even after they removed
Speaker 11: from those that's can't believe they would allow that unreal.
Speaker 5: You're you're right, David and we've We've had a few
Speaker 5: other choice words, Tim and I as we've gone along
Speaker 5: the program today, troglodites, cretans, skunk chumps, Jaeboni's, Yeah, whatever
Speaker 5: you wish. But you know, I think the Dodgers have
Speaker 5: still got the momentum. Inasmuch as they lose the game yesterday,
Speaker 5: their momentum is still with him on on the macro
Speaker 5: side of this, they've got. They're up three to one
Speaker 5: right now, everybody's fresh and arrested. I think that locker
Speaker 5: room's got to be excited, vibrant and can't wait to
Speaker 5: get at it. This is a chance now that they've
Speaker 5: come back and stung them a little bit, where you
Speaker 5: really get the ir up and go after these guys.
Speaker 3: What about that, Dave?
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, without a doubt, Steve, I mean, come on,
Speaker 11: they're up three games to one. I hate to keep
Speaker 11: bringing up eighty eight, but how about you guys, Yeah,
Speaker 11: we lost it, we're in control of that series. Yeah,
Speaker 11: and Mark McGuire hit a walk off Grand Slam in
Speaker 11: game four and yeah, you know, you guys came back
Speaker 11: and one of the World series in game five. It
Speaker 11: feels similar to that where okay, you got one. Congratulations,
Speaker 11: but the Dodgers are still one win away from winning
Speaker 11: the World Series, and that's gonna be a hard locomotive
Speaker 11: to stop.
Speaker 5: I agree, and you know, like everybody else, Look, I
Speaker 5: think the fan base has to realize Dodgers still got
Speaker 5: their big boy pants on. Okay, they're grown men, they're professionals,
Speaker 5: and this one loss is not going to dictate you know,
Speaker 5: the professionalism. Uh, and you know the wheel to go
Speaker 5: out there and craush. So I think it's right up
Speaker 5: the rally right now.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm with you. I Look, the Dodgers aren't a
Speaker 11: great spot now. I guess the only question is Freddy
Speaker 11: Freeman going to hit another home run in the first sitting?
Speaker 4: Right, That's the only question.
Speaker 3: I shout tonight, Dave.
Speaker 1: We appreciate it. It's gonna be a fun afternoon. We'll
Speaker 1: hear from you later on today. Before first pitch, of course,
Speaker 1: wronggo because you know, Dodgers on deck. Get started at
Speaker 1: four o'clock. First pitch from the Galbum Motors broadcast booth
Speaker 1: at five. Oh wait, enjoy the rest of your day, Dave.
Speaker 1: I think there he goes David Vase. I think he's
Speaker 1: a little tired of being in New Yeah. I can
Speaker 1: hear it in his voice.
Speaker 5: I think he wants to get back with Brad Paisley,
Speaker 5: get back on that ranch in Cannessee after the World
Speaker 5: Series victory.
Speaker 1: Only after the World Series. But you know it would
Speaker 1: be cool. And I'm you know, I'm not even gonna
Speaker 1: go there. I got criticis I'm out. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: I can't because if I say something, I'm going to
Speaker 1: hear it. I heard it when I got home last night. Really,
Speaker 1: I was like, why did you say what you said?
Speaker 1: I said, are you talking? It's a three hour show.
Speaker 1: What part are you talking about? And she said the
Speaker 1: part that got clipped and put on social media where
Speaker 1: you said it's O V E r oh. She goes,
Speaker 1: you realize you can't say that, right, Like I agree
Speaker 1: with missus Kates. You cannot do that, you know because
Speaker 1: people if they lose tonight, you know, people are going
Speaker 1: to get after you. And I said, well, they're up
Speaker 1: two to nothing. I walked in. It was a two
Speaker 1: nothing game. Remember I scolded you for that. I know
Speaker 1: you did. I know you did.
Speaker 3: I tried to interrupt you. You can't say it's.
Speaker 1: Over, I know, and I'm already hearing it from fans
Speaker 1: on social media, Jackson.
Speaker 3: Makes his exciting we want to hear the inner tim.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I stand by all right, this thing is over.
Speaker 5: The Dodgers are still gonna win this series. Are you
Speaker 5: going there again?
Speaker 1: Dodgers are gonna win this series? Well, the series.
Speaker 5: Yeah, But are you saying tonight, because I mean, it's
Speaker 5: like a quasi hexs you're putting on the team.
Speaker 1: I don't want to say it's over tonight. Not doing that. No,
Speaker 1: not doing that, because you're right, that's bad bad juju.
Speaker 1: I guess.
Speaker 5: But but you think you think that, Uh, there's no
Speaker 5: way they're gonna lose the series. If they're gonna win,
Speaker 5: that's different than saying it's over tonight.
Speaker 1: I still think they win the series.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's that's fine, that's not a hecks. I think
Speaker 5: I think they will too.
Speaker 1: Eight sixty six, nine eighty seven two five seventy eight
Speaker 1: sixty six, nine eighty seven two five seventy Your phone
Speaker 1: calls Steve's keys coming up as we lead you off
Speaker 1: to yes. At Game five of the World Series, the
Speaker 1: Yankees forced a Game five of the win last night.
Speaker 1: Dodgers look to close it out tonight. First pitch right
Speaker 1: here on NI seventy five. Oh wait, it's Sax and
Speaker 1: Kates in the am. Sax and Kates in the am
Speaker 1: here on a M five se many LA sports with
Speaker 1: you here until the top of the hour. We'll get
Speaker 1: to your phone. Calls to just a minute. Steve's keys
Speaker 1: as he leads up to Game five of the World
Speaker 1: Series Dodgers and Yankees. Real quick sacks. He just saw
Speaker 1: this on the USA Today. The two Yankee fans who
Speaker 1: are ejected last night in Came four for interfering, interfering
Speaker 1: and grabbing Mookie Betts could be back in their seats
Speaker 1: down the right field line for tonight's game. According to
Speaker 1: ESPN and USA Today, the season ticket holder Austin kapol
Speaker 1: Bianca and his friend John Peter, would be allowed back
Speaker 1: into the ballpark for Game five. According to them, they
Speaker 1: were told they would not be not allowed back into
Speaker 1: the ballpark. The Yankees did not immediately respond to the
Speaker 1: USA Today for request for comment. After the game last night,
Speaker 1: Coppo Bianca said he had known he had done something wrong,
Speaker 1: but seemed to indicate he had no remorse. Quote I
Speaker 1: patrol that wall and they know that end quote We're
Speaker 1: not going to go out of our way to attack.
Speaker 1: If it's in our area, We're gonna d up some
Speaker 1: of defense. Someone knocked the ball, we talk about it.
Speaker 1: We're willing to do this. End quote. Okay, these two
Speaker 1: morons talk about it, plan it out, and it happens
Speaker 1: to be right in front of them, and they executed
Speaker 1: exactly what they've always talked about. One grab the player,
Speaker 1: one grab the ball.
Speaker 5: This is out of This is insane that this happened
Speaker 5: last night and they could be let back in the
Speaker 5: ballpark against that ridiculous. Now, let's see what the Yankees do.
Speaker 5: Let's see the Yankees man up and say no, you're
Speaker 5: not coming in a ballpark.
Speaker 1: They should.
Speaker 5: The Yankees should be the ones to step up and
Speaker 5: say we don't allow that kind of behavior in our ballpark.
Speaker 5: This is a family venue. They come in here, this
Speaker 5: is the family atmosphere. We don't allow thuggery to be
Speaker 5: promoted here in the ballpark.
Speaker 1: Out, get out.
Speaker 3: That's what they had to do.
Speaker 1: The player's safety is the thing that's first and foremost
Speaker 1: in the situation like this, and what you're saying by
Speaker 1: letting them back in the ballpark for a game five
Speaker 1: is it's a slap on the wrist. We're okay with
Speaker 1: what you did. Welcome back with open arms, back to
Speaker 1: Yankee Stadium. Even though you attack the Dodger player on
Speaker 1: the field. What are the Yankees gonna promote if they
Speaker 1: let these two thugs in? Really, what are they promoting?
Speaker 1: They're gonna have a promotion next year? I guess attack
Speaker 1: a player night, Yeah, you know, I mean it's embarrassing.
Speaker 1: I mean, the Dodgers shouldn't have to say anything. They
Speaker 1: shouldn't have to go to Baseball and say, hey, Rob
Speaker 1: Manfred Baseball, what are we gonna do about these guys
Speaker 1: over here at Yankee Stadium? Will you please tell the
Speaker 1: Yankees and Brian Cashman and the Steinbrenner family to do
Speaker 1: something about their over the top fans. They should have
Speaker 1: to do that.
Speaker 5: And you know, it's not representative all the fans. Most
Speaker 5: of the fans that you probably talked to there are
Speaker 5: probably pretty cool.
Speaker 3: You know, they get it.
Speaker 5: They got families, they got kids, they get it. You
Speaker 5: got these two jerks, these two thugs that are down
Speaker 5: there doing this and they had to be kicked out.
Speaker 3: That's what I think.
Speaker 1: It's embarrassing. What happened last night. Is the fact that
Speaker 1: they could be let back into the Yankee Stadium to jakalops.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Idiots, absolute idiots. People want to get after Dodger fans.
Speaker 1: Shame on them. This is this is way over the
Speaker 1: top and embarrassing for Yankee fans. New York should be embarrassed. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the fans around them in that section tonight should tell
Speaker 1: them to get out of there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the fans should stick up for Mookie, and I'll
Speaker 5: bet you they will.
Speaker 3: You watch. I'm serious.
Speaker 5: You think, well, it's New York. They're all like, No,
Speaker 5: they're not. They're not all like that, not even close.
Speaker 1: Let's hope not. Eddie and Sam Piedro's been wait in
Speaker 1: a while. Any thanks for being patient.
Speaker 8: How you doing, Hey, thanks for taking my tom Guys.
Speaker 8: You know one thing I don't know if I've heard,
Speaker 8: is when that happened at the at Dodger Stadium at Melee,
Speaker 8: they stopped the game. The players left the field and
Speaker 8: they went over the PA and warned the fans. I
Speaker 8: don't know did they warn the fans at all? Did
Speaker 8: they stop the game in New York? I don't they
Speaker 8: just let it go like nothing happened. A lot of
Speaker 8: the fans there didn't even know what went on.
Speaker 1: No, and they didn't stop it. They didn't stop it
Speaker 1: any appreciate the phone call. They didn't stop it because
Speaker 1: play on the field didn't have to be stopped for
Speaker 1: you know, trash that was maybe thrown on the field
Speaker 1: of Dodger Stadium whatever, or beach ball sometimes. But it
Speaker 1: was happening. It happened in the stands as far as
Speaker 1: the two gentlemen being escorted out like they were, so
Speaker 1: play continued. But yeah, there should have been something said.
Speaker 1: Maybe there was. I wasn't inside the Yankee Stadium, but
Speaker 1: it felt like there should have been just a little
Speaker 1: bit more done about what had happened.
Speaker 5: What gives them the right in there to pry open
Speaker 5: a player's glove when he's vulnerable off the ground, take
Speaker 5: the ball out, and then the other trumperella grabs his arm,
Speaker 5: and who knows what he's doing, right exactly, you don't know,
Speaker 5: you don't know what he's got in his hand.
Speaker 1: I mean this exactly.
Speaker 3: This is your grease ball.
Speaker 1: You cannot put hands.
Speaker 5: On a player a player, you have no right to
Speaker 5: even touch him at all.
Speaker 1: It's embarrassing. The Yankees need to do something, if not
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball do something about this. This is unacceptable.
Speaker 1: Manny in Downtown LA. Thanks for being patient, Manny.
Speaker 4: Go ahead, going on, guys. I don't know if you
Speaker 4: just saw the newest headline they came out of New
Speaker 4: York post. It says, the city of New York to
Speaker 4: honor the two students that almost hurt hurt Mookie with
Speaker 4: the key to the city and the first place tonight.
Speaker 4: That's kind of what it feels like right now. It
Speaker 4: kind of feels like New York is kind of grasping
Speaker 4: that straws, trying to gather some anything they can get
Speaker 4: to get some type of momentum play, which kind of
Speaker 4: brings me the Mookie postgame interview. He doesn't want to
Speaker 4: give anybody anything to feed off. Okay, you've got to
Speaker 4: be silent, you got to be deny tonight in Game five.
Speaker 4: These guys who haven't been hating need to show up
Speaker 4: and just take them out while they're down.
Speaker 10: Okay.
Speaker 4: I have zero, zero, zero anxiety. I have one hundred
Speaker 4: percent confidence in this team. I'm sitting back at the
Speaker 4: beach drinking a Mike tie in the coconut. I'm feeling
Speaker 4: really good about tonight Dodgers in five.
Speaker 1: All right, appreciate it many thanks for checking in all right,
Speaker 1: Saxy game five tonight. You've been spot on with your
Speaker 1: keys to the game. Obviously, the Dodgers didn't execute what
Speaker 1: they were needed to do in Game four last night.
Speaker 1: That's why we're sitting here get ready for game five.
Speaker 1: What's the key for the Dodger tonight?
Speaker 5: Well, first of all, a team doesn't, you know, fret
Speaker 5: when you lose a game. They won ninety eight games
Speaker 5: this year. Okay, the winning this team and all of baseball,
Speaker 5: no problem where they sit right now. Keys to the
Speaker 5: game Number one is how Flarity is able to pitch,
Speaker 5: and if they're able to utilize that bullpen. I almost
Speaker 5: want them to utilize the bullpen tonight. Flarity can go
Speaker 5: five or six innings and then just get a real
Speaker 5: good shutdown by the bullpen. I think those are That's
Speaker 5: one of the keys. The other key is this is
Speaker 5: going to be a collective thump tonight. I don't think
Speaker 5: you're gonna have one guy because it's everybody been doing it.
Speaker 5: I mean, show hey does it with guys on base.
Speaker 5: At bottom of the order sets him up. We've seen
Speaker 5: some great things happen with the executive consecutive times that
Speaker 5: months he's been on base. I know we struggled a
Speaker 5: little bit now, but hey, you know what, you got
Speaker 5: other guys to pick him up there, and you know,
Speaker 5: Hernandez has been phenomenal at times. I think this is
Speaker 5: going to be a collective thump tonight for the Dodgers.
Speaker 5: Look on a bad day, on a bad day, tim
Speaker 5: they scored four runs. Usually on four runs, you got
Speaker 5: a good chance to win. But on a bad day
Speaker 5: they score four runs. This won't have up in two
Speaker 5: days in a row. No way to give up a
Speaker 5: bunch of runs. And I bet they score more than four.
Speaker 5: So I think the Dodgers on a collective thump tonight.
Speaker 1: I hope. So we'll find out either way. Sax and
Speaker 1: Kate's and the am back tomorrow morning, either celebrating a
Speaker 1: World Series championship or Saxy. We're getting ready for this
Speaker 1: series to come back to Dodger Stadium for Game six
Speaker 1: on Friday. We'll talk tomorrow, Timmy, all right, there he
Speaker 1: goes Steve Sax. Thanks to Katie, thanks to Michelle, thanks
Speaker 1: to all you Dodger fans for being a part of
Speaker 1: the show. Will be back at it tomorrow six am.
Speaker 1: Colin Cowherd coming up next, Rogan and Rodney at noon,
