Speaker 1: The right quist.
Speaker 2: Dodgers Playoff Baseball is back and with it an annual
Speaker 2: postseason tradition.
Speaker 3: Scam is back. Baby.
Speaker 2: This is Sax and Cakes in.
Speaker 4: The 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 3: It's Sax and Kate's and AM jobs not finished. Dodgers
Speaker 3: up three games to one, but still one went away
Speaker 3: from securing a burn again in the World Series. Thanks
Speaker 3: for being with us on this Friday morning, October eighteenth,
Speaker 3: saxon case in AAM live and local. Are you're a
Speaker 3: home of the Dodgers Ampire seventy LA Sports. They close
Speaker 3: out Game five later on today right here on AMPI seventy.
Speaker 3: First pitch at two to eight from the Gallpin Motors
Speaker 3: broadcast with Jack Flair, and he'll be on the mount.
Speaker 3: In a close out game, left hander David Peterson will
Speaker 3: go for the New York Mets, who have their backs
Speaker 3: up against the wall. And I love reading the headlines
Speaker 3: in the New York newspapers this morning with the Mets
Speaker 3: and Yankees boasting the postseason. The Yankees getting the top billion,
Speaker 3: of course, and they blew a big one last night
Speaker 3: in Cleveland, and the ninth inning to see the Mets
Speaker 3: in New York down three games to one. They are
Speaker 3: all but riding off the Mets and talking about what
Speaker 3: a great year it was. But another year of coming
Speaker 3: up short for the New York Mets, and another year
Speaker 3: of not winning the championship since nineteen eighty six for
Speaker 3: that franchise. I just need to take care of business,
Speaker 3: no sax. You know this. A three to one series
Speaker 3: lead is great, but the last thing you want to
Speaker 3: do is let this team win a game because next
Speaker 3: thing you know, they're back in it and they can
Speaker 3: win one more and then force a game seven. You
Speaker 3: got to squash them like a bug.
Speaker 5: Listen, you are a long ways away from the promised
Speaker 5: land of you know, taking a little break and regrouping
Speaker 5: and getting ready for that world series. You're a long
Speaker 5: ways away from that. You got lots of work to do.
Speaker 5: And believe me, the Mets are here for a reason
Speaker 5: and they're not going away easy. I promise you they're not.
Speaker 5: So it's gonna take everything to beat these guys. But
Speaker 5: you know what, no better time than the present. Don't
Speaker 5: bring this back to La and settle it there. You've
Speaker 5: got to do this in New.
Speaker 3: York, all right. You mentioned it last hour. You've got
Speaker 3: a marketing opportunity and an idea. I've been sitting there
Speaker 3: in the commercial break, sitting here waiting and wondering what
Speaker 3: in the heck is this and how much money could
Speaker 3: be made?
Speaker 5: Well, I think you got an opportunity. Maybe get Tracy
Speaker 5: on this, good marketing specialists. Look, we know you like Toms, right, Yes,
Speaker 5: I think you do like a crossover with with one
Speaker 5: of the uh with one of the Dodgers. Like we
Speaker 5: we know that Yamamoto has gone through some some very
Speaker 5: tenuous times since he's been over here. We heard that
Speaker 5: he likes he uses tombs. You use Toms, right, Tim,
Speaker 5: And your tummy for Toms is is kind of like
Speaker 5: where you start it Yamamoto, the fact that he likes
Speaker 5: Toms too. You could do the fact that it tastes good,
Speaker 5: yammy yummy for your tummy. And you get how this
Speaker 5: can all work between you and Yamamoto. I love you
Speaker 5: could sell a version of the Melties of the Tombs.
Speaker 5: I use Toms as candy. I mean I I they
Speaker 5: taste so good, they're crunchy, They're really good. Look at
Speaker 5: you could do a version of the of Toms over
Speaker 5: in Japan and sell it. You know, you can call
Speaker 5: it the the Tomamoto you know, something like that. And
Speaker 5: you could do him and you together here in the
Speaker 5: United States with your tummy and Timmy and Yummy and
Speaker 5: all it works. And if you get a specialist on this,
Speaker 5: you can get a great deal with Toms. Jump on
Speaker 5: the back of Yamamoto and letter Fly. I think you
Speaker 5: guys can do a joint venture together.
Speaker 3: I love this idea one thousand percent, and I love
Speaker 3: it completely behind it, And I wish you wouldn't have
Speaker 3: said it on the air because now everybody's gonna run
Speaker 3: with it.
Speaker 5: Well, it's a no brainer. Come on, I Yamamoto loves Toms.
Speaker 3: There you go, imagine this commercial. Ya'm a moto on
Speaker 3: the mound. The crowd is cheering of a play by
Speaker 3: play announcer talking about the game is on the line. Well,
Speaker 3: his eyes are gazing around the stadium looking for help
Speaker 3: because he's on the mound. And he finds me in
Speaker 3: the stands And I got a box of tombs, and
Speaker 3: I look and we make eye contact and he nods.
Speaker 3: I nod, and he grabs one, puts it in his mouth.
Speaker 3: I grab one, put it in my mouth. Yes, we
Speaker 3: start chewing and we both nod, and next thing you know,
Speaker 3: he strikes out the hitter.
Speaker 6: It's Derek.
Speaker 3: It's a commercial for you.
Speaker 5: I love it. It could be a quick thirty second spot. Yes,
Speaker 5: you don't even have to say anything. Yes, so there's
Speaker 5: no language barrier problem. You just you know, it's all
Speaker 5: done by you know, by vision, and it's it's it.
Speaker 5: It drives the point home, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: The toms do the talking. We don't need to say
Speaker 3: a word.
Speaker 5: No, you don't have to say anything.
Speaker 3: I don't speak Japanese, he doesn't speak English. Well, let
Speaker 3: the tombs do the talking.
Speaker 5: It works, Tim, I think you got something. I hope
Speaker 5: Tracy Murray is listening right, Yes, Tracy get on this
Speaker 5: and make her work this and this is great sexy.
Speaker 3: You are genius.
Speaker 5: I don't know how I come up with this stuff,
Speaker 5: but it's just I guess it's by osmosis. If you're
Speaker 5: around it enough, it'll rub off, it's so obvious.
Speaker 3: Well, anyway, since you came up with the idea, I'd
Speaker 3: like to have you in the in at least in
Speaker 3: the commercial. Yeah, maybe maybe you could be in the background,
Speaker 3: you know, as he's on the mound looking for help
Speaker 3: with the bases loaded.
Speaker 5: Or maybe in the end, like behind the I'm like
Speaker 5: behind you know, doing the doing the clock on Yamamoto.
Speaker 5: And at the very end you just kind of like
Speaker 5: tip your cap back and wink with the with the
Speaker 5: thumbs up. Loves it closes out the commercial.
Speaker 3: I love it. This is a genius idea. And if
Speaker 3: anybody out there dares to try to steal it, wow,
Speaker 3: shame on you, because I am going to be all
Speaker 3: over this. I've already got a text in to Tracy
Speaker 3: to make sure we get this thing going for twenty
Speaker 3: twenty five seas.
Speaker 6: Wow.
Speaker 5: Tim, I'm excited for you. I'm excited for you.
Speaker 3: I'm excited too, because now my brand is going to
Speaker 3: be global, not that it was even outside of the
Speaker 3: Burbank area, but now it'll be international. This is gonna
Speaker 3: be fan Japan.
Speaker 5: Can imagine your trips over there and you and Yamamoto
Speaker 5: trapesing around Japan in the off season promoting Toms Tomamoto.
Speaker 3: Can you believe that Saxon I am a man that
Speaker 3: loves to endorse Japanese cuisine Zenhi Sushi, which you can
Speaker 3: find at Ralson next to the deli counter in the
Speaker 3: local supermarket. And of course eto in oocha green tea,
Speaker 3: which is the official green tea of Sho Heyo Tani
Speaker 3: that he loves and drinks. So yeah, I got that
Speaker 3: going for me. Now little tombs with Yamamoto. Oh I
Speaker 3: love this. I love this, Hey Tim.
Speaker 5: As an aside, now we've put in place, you know
Speaker 5: the fact that you're going to have this great marketing
Speaker 5: blitz with Tom's, which is a no brainer. When I
Speaker 5: got asked, this is just you and me talking nobody else,
Speaker 5: nowhere else. When are we gonna hear you know, shoe
Speaker 5: hey o Tani come up with a speech in English,
Speaker 5: a full on rendition because we I don't even know
Speaker 5: if we get a word here and there. But I
Speaker 5: mean he has been here for a while. I will
Speaker 5: bet you that one day, very soon, we're gonna hear
Speaker 5: like some acceptance speech when he gets maybe his MVP
Speaker 5: or something like this, and he's gonna come up with
Speaker 5: a very wordsmithy whole speech. I mean, brilliantly crafted in
Speaker 5: English with perfect pronunciation. What if that happened, wouldn't that
Speaker 5: be such a cool thing that he splashes on the
Speaker 5: American public?
Speaker 3: It would be awesome. And I think we may get
Speaker 3: something like that if the Dodgers knock on Wood can
Speaker 3: get to the World Series and god will and are
Speaker 3: able to win four games and get another championship. He
Speaker 3: gave a little mini speech after they clinched a playoff
Speaker 3: spot or clinched the division. I forgot which time it was,
Speaker 3: but he said just a few words, just a man
Speaker 3: of few words, and he said only a few words.
Speaker 3: Yamamoto to his credit in the inaugural press conference that
Speaker 3: he had back in December, I believe it was. And
Speaker 3: when he signed out of Dodger Stadium, he had a
Speaker 3: statement prepared that he that he memorized and read in English.
Speaker 3: And apparently I think he's got a sister in law
Speaker 3: or brother in law that teaches English over in Japan,
Speaker 3: and it helped him with it, and so he has
Speaker 3: been very eager to learn English more now that he's
Speaker 3: with the Dodgers. And you know, these players speak very
Speaker 3: little English. They know the baseball lingo. I'm sure, I
Speaker 3: mean you would know this actually around the game with
Speaker 3: international players, even Spanish speaking players. You know, there's the
Speaker 3: universal language of baseball that you can communicate with. And
Speaker 3: then slowly they start getting used to speaking English, right, Yeah.
Speaker 5: Of course. And you know, Spanish is a pretty easy
Speaker 5: language to learn. I'm not so sure that Japan is
Speaker 5: an easy language. Japanese. But wouldn't it be funny if
Speaker 5: Joey was up there on the mic and say, Okay,
Speaker 5: it's time to let the cat out of the bag
Speaker 5: and he just starts wrapping his stuff off and if
Speaker 5: in English and it's perfect, that would be I would
Speaker 5: love to see that. But yeah, I don't know how
Speaker 5: tough Japan is a Japanese, but I think it's a
Speaker 5: lot tougher than say, Spanish.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I just googled it really quickly, and there's a
Speaker 3: couple of versions of Japanese tombs out there a company
Speaker 3: called Gota Tua ten is a company that produces basically
Speaker 3: the equivalent of Toms over the counter over in Japan.
Speaker 3: So we got any Japanese listeners right now that would
Speaker 3: help out.
Speaker 5: See, you've already got a great Japanese flair, You've got
Speaker 5: a great Japanese accent, so you can do this.
Speaker 3: I appreciate that. And you know, maybe if on the
Speaker 3: international scene as far as this commercial we've already created
Speaker 3: now with with Yamamoto on the mound and taken the tums,
Speaker 3: and we both wink at each other. Maybe at the
Speaker 3: end in the English version we both say, you know,
Speaker 3: the tagline in English, but over in Japan, the two
Speaker 3: of us and I can learn this. You know, I'm
Speaker 3: very I'm very smart. Exactly, I can learn the tagline
Speaker 3: and we can say it in Japanese Japanese. Yeah, And
Speaker 3: I mean, gosh, well, how about how about.
Speaker 5: If Yamamoto says it in the English over here and
Speaker 5: you tag it over there in Japanese. Perfect, perfect, done
Speaker 5: and done. The crossover is this is this is ridiculous.
Speaker 5: It's so easy.
Speaker 3: Look at us just spitballing here, just brainstorming, just brainstorming.
Speaker 3: I love it, I love it all. And the Dodgers
Speaker 3: still need to win one more game, by the way,
Speaker 3: they still need to take care of business in Game
Speaker 3: five of this NLCS and NLCS, by the way, which
Speaker 3: the Dodgers have outscored the Mets thirty to eight overall
Speaker 3: in this series. And think about that six runs came
Speaker 3: in that one loss to the Dodgers or the win
Speaker 3: over the Dodgers back in Game two. The Dodgers have
Speaker 3: outscored the Mets in the two games in new Games
Speaker 3: three and four already twenty to two. The Dodgers are
Speaker 3: sixteen for forty eight with runners in scoring position. Dodgers
Speaker 3: have walked thirty one times in the first four games.
Speaker 3: And the other big number that has come out of
Speaker 3: this NLCS is tied to Max Munsey reaching base twelve
Speaker 3: consecutive played appearances in a row, home run, walk, walk, walk, single, walk, walk,
Speaker 3: home run, walk, walk, walk, and a single and finally
Speaker 3: got out late in the game last night to end
Speaker 3: that streak. And to put it in perspective for those
Speaker 3: of you driving around listening wondering what does that matter?
Speaker 3: Twelve consecutive plate appearances that ties mister October Reggie Jackson
Speaker 3: for the most played appearances in a row without getting
Speaker 3: an out in the postseason. Max Mounsey and Reggie Jackson
Speaker 3: now in the same breath.
Speaker 5: How about that? Isn't that crazy? And you think that
Speaker 5: at some point there'd be like, oh, you know, the
Speaker 5: umpire would kind of screw him on a call and
Speaker 5: that'd be strike three. Because he's doing all of it
Speaker 5: at the same time. Usually you can, you know, kind
Speaker 5: of like squeeze out the walks or go on to
Speaker 5: just this hitting terror. He's doing all of it, and
Speaker 5: he's going deep and he's doing the singles. I mean,
Speaker 5: how do you do all of that, you know, in
Speaker 5: one big swoop. That's just really hard to do. As
Speaker 5: far as I'm concerned, Max Muntzy's doing it.
Speaker 3: The twelve consecutive plate appearances, eight of them were walks.
Speaker 3: That's discipline at the plate. That's being unselfish and knowing that,
Speaker 3: you know, I can go out there and hit a
Speaker 3: home run, I can drive the ball, I could slug,
Speaker 3: which he's known for, or I can go out there
Speaker 3: and just do whatever it takes to get on base,
Speaker 3: whether it's a home run a single, which he did.
Speaker 3: But eight of the twelve appearances were walks, and after
Speaker 3: the game last night here's Max Munsey talking to the
Speaker 3: media about his accomplishment and the Dodgers being one went
Speaker 3: away from going to the World Series.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was good up and down the lineup.
Speaker 7: We're just staying within ourselves, haven't get an approach and
Speaker 7: not trying to do too much in the bucks.
Speaker 2: For you, I mean, twelve state dot Bat's getting on
Speaker 2: base and you think about that. Were you aware of
Speaker 2: that and just kind of what was that, say, just
Speaker 2: the QUALITYBA bets you've been having personally.
Speaker 7: No, I definitely wasn't aware of it, you know, but
Speaker 7: it's obviously really cool for me. The most important things
Speaker 7: that means I'm getting on base, giving my teammates a
Speaker 7: chance to drap me in create and havoc doing anything
Speaker 7: I can, and uh, you know, to me, that's just
Speaker 7: the most important thing is that I'm having good at
Speaker 7: bets and being able to get on base for my guys.
Speaker 6: That's how important.
Speaker 7: One against Kinatana guy who likes to get guys to
Speaker 7: chase to not checks.
Speaker 6: I'm standing after New York walks as you made the laws.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and that was kind of a battle of you know,
Speaker 7: who was going to give in first. He wanted to
Speaker 7: get us a chase, so we wanted to get him
Speaker 7: through strikes, and uh, you know it was just, uh,
Speaker 7: who was going to be more stubborn? And uh, you know,
Speaker 7: I feel like we we were about last on that.
Speaker 6: And what's the feeling of the clubhouse one one away
Speaker 6: from the World Series.
Speaker 7: It's it's oh, right now, you know, we're shouting out
Speaker 7: tomorrow as an OL series, we have prepare, prepare the
Speaker 7: right way, do everything the right way, and play our
Speaker 7: game and go out there and try to get a
Speaker 7: win tomorrow.
Speaker 6: You know, you guys are playing such complete baseball, right know?
Speaker 6: Is this the most complete you've played all season? Do
Speaker 6: you think? Yeah?
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, Uh, the most important thing is just
Speaker 7: everyone's you know, understanding the role.
Speaker 6: I'm not trying to do.
Speaker 7: Too much and well yeah, I have an entire group
Speaker 7: of guys that are buying into that mindset.
Speaker 6: It becomes pretty special. And that's what we're able to
Speaker 6: do right.
Speaker 5: Now, approach wise as a team, and how this scene
Speaker 5: is kind of the team wide approach payoffs.
Speaker 7: So far this off there was yeah, you know, there
Speaker 7: was definitely some talks about it, but I think the
Speaker 7: biggest thing was understanding, you know, more in depth why
Speaker 7: that is and uh, you know, it's it's it's being
Speaker 7: aggressive on balls in the zone, not taking balls in
Speaker 7: his own and you know, not swinging out of the zone,
Speaker 7: and uh, you know, I think that's just a deeper
Speaker 7: understanding for us and understanding who we are as.
Speaker 6: A team and what what certain pitches we.
Speaker 7: Can hit, what pitches we can't hit, And you know,
Speaker 7: we've had an entire lineup being able to buy into that.
Speaker 6: What does it do for the team to get a
Speaker 6: leadoff homer for the game from moll Tounty. Yeah, it
Speaker 6: was huge, you know, I think it was.
Speaker 7: It was bigger for show just hitting a getting a
Speaker 7: hit with no one, no one on base. You know,
Speaker 7: it's a I don't know, pretty wild wild numbers, but yeah,
Speaker 7: it was a you know, big start for us.
Speaker 6: He got a good fish to hit, didn't miss it,
Speaker 6: and definitely electrified us. How big we'll have to close
Speaker 6: them all tomorrow?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, you know, obviously it'd be huge, But
Speaker 7: like I said, in our mindset is it's an OH series.
Speaker 7: You know, we got to go out there and then
Speaker 7: and play it, play it the right way and do
Speaker 7: things the right way.
Speaker 6: And that's what we're finding on doing all right.
Speaker 3: There's Maximunze after the game last night sounds a lot
Speaker 3: like Mookie Betts locked in one one game to play. Still, well,
Speaker 3: it's an O series. We haven't done anything. We haven't
Speaker 3: accomplished nothing yet.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Do you notice the thread that runs through the
Speaker 5: team is when you hear interviews, you know, you had
Speaker 5: they have their own flair and whatnot, but they all
Speaker 5: seem to be, you know, in the same space. There's
Speaker 5: there's not somebody that's getting over their skis. There's not
Speaker 5: somebody that's not realizing the moment. There's not somebody that's
Speaker 5: underestimating what's going on. They they get it. This team
Speaker 5: gets it. And that's this is a This is isn't
Speaker 5: just something that's patchwork together. This is something that's been
Speaker 5: been been groomed for a while, you know, and now
Speaker 5: you're seeing what, you know, the culmination of everything that
Speaker 5: they put into this team. The right people, you know,
Speaker 5: the right practices, work ethic, all those things come together.
Speaker 5: And that's what you're hearing right now through the microphone
Speaker 5: when they interview these guys. You can sense it. You
Speaker 5: can see what's going on through the team, because this
Speaker 5: isn't something that was just you know, put together yesterday.
Speaker 3: I truly believe you've gotten this attitude now from this team.
Speaker 3: This buy in attitude from everybody on the team, from
Speaker 3: Kershaw to all the way down to Tommy Yeman to
Speaker 3: everybody on this team is because the failures of the
Speaker 3: last two year and because a lot of these players
Speaker 3: are either looking for their first World Series championship coming
Speaker 3: over to the Dodgers like a showy Otani and they're hungry,
Speaker 3: or you've got players that have tasted the championship before
Speaker 3: in a Max Munsey, a Mookie Betts of Freddie Freeman,
Speaker 3: and they want more. They tasted it and they want
Speaker 3: to taste it again. The World Series champion.
Speaker 5: These young guys, these guys that are coming up, Caspiraus
Speaker 5: and and Enriquez and all these guys that are coming
Speaker 5: up now they're in the locker room and they brushing
Speaker 5: around with Clayton Kershaw and trying in and these guys
Speaker 5: like this that have been there and done that before.
Speaker 5: You think that doesn't make a difference, It is a
Speaker 5: huge difference and a huge advantage. I mean, you know,
Speaker 5: you're talking about Clay. This is the first time Hall
Speaker 5: of Fame guy on the ballot, no question about that. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I was fortunate when I came up at Garvey and
Speaker 5: Lopes and Say and Russell and Yeager. I had all
Speaker 5: these guys that were proven winners, and you know what,
Speaker 5: it made a huge impact on me. This is how
Speaker 5: you do it. Okay, they say a lot without saying anything,
Speaker 5: because these guys are watching them. They're watching how they work,
Speaker 5: They're watching what time they get there, what time they leave,
Speaker 5: how they carry themselves. These things are just huge for
Speaker 5: a team. The undergirdings of the team are built on
Speaker 5: these examples, and that's what the team is getting to enjoy.
Speaker 3: I can just envision a young Steve Sacks nineteen eighty one.
Speaker 3: There you are watching these guys who are veterans do
Speaker 3: their thing. You're a young guy on this team helping
Speaker 3: them out as well, winning a World Series championship. You
Speaker 3: were just like aspiras. You were just like a landing neck.
Speaker 3: You were just like Enriquez. They're you know, wide eyed,
Speaker 3: i'd imagine, but also just sitting there being quiet, not
Speaker 3: saying anything, but soaking it all in.
Speaker 5: Remember that these guys are are in the locker room
Speaker 5: with many of the players that they watched on TV
Speaker 5: and were idolizing. That's the way it was for me.
Speaker 5: And when you go in there and you're around these guys,
Speaker 5: you're almost like beside yourself. So what do you do?
Speaker 5: You just shut up and you observe, and you you're
Speaker 5: like a sponge. You just take everything that you can
Speaker 5: in And uh yeah, I mean I was. I was
Speaker 5: almost timid to even say anything. I just wanted to
Speaker 5: be in there and felt lucky I was there. So
Speaker 5: these guys are feeling that, and these guys are being
Speaker 5: able to enjoy these benefactors giving these guys these great
Speaker 5: tips by not even saying anything to them.
Speaker 3: Maybe Dodgers one went away from going Back to the
Speaker 3: World series eight sixt six, nine eighty seven two five
Speaker 3: is Steve Sacks. I'm Tim Kats want you to be
Speaker 3: a part of the show. Between now at eight o'clock,
Speaker 3: we were giving away a two hundred and fifty dollars
Speaker 3: gift card to the Dodgers' clubout store, a Universal City Walk,
Speaker 3: a great spot to get anything Dodger gear related, hat,
Speaker 3: T shirt, jersey, customize a jersey. They got it all
Speaker 3: if you're looking for it postseason gear, maybe even World
Speaker 3: Series gear. Yes, Dodgers one went away from punching their ticket.
Speaker 3: You can get that gear with a two undred and
Speaker 3: fifty dollars gift card there were given away the one
Speaker 3: lucky Dodger fan between now at eight o'clock eight sixty
Speaker 3: six ninety seven, two five seventy. But you got to
Speaker 3: be part of the show. Eight sixty six ninety seven
Speaker 3: two five seventy. David Vassa Next hour, Steven Nelson, Next
Speaker 3: hour You next right here at MFI seventy LA Sports,
Speaker 3: SAX and Kate's and Am are your home with the
Speaker 3: Dodgers M five seventy LA Sports. Dodgers a three games
Speaker 3: to one one lead in this NLCS after winning Game
Speaker 3: four last night, with they tend to to win over
Speaker 3: the New York Mets. Game five coming up this afternoon.
Speaker 3: Morogo Casino Dodgers on deck. Gets it all started at
Speaker 3: one o'clock, first pitch at two aids from the Galpu
Speaker 3: Motors broadcast. Both Jack Felherty on the mound. Left hander
Speaker 3: David Peterson will go for the New York Mets as
Speaker 3: the Dodgers have a chance to close things out today
Speaker 3: in this series and then get a few days off
Speaker 3: and get ready for a World Series matchup either against
Speaker 3: the Cleveland Guardians or the New York Yankees, who will
Speaker 3: wait in the American League, and they've got a game
Speaker 3: later on today. If the Dodgers can win today, sexually,
Speaker 3: I don't want to put the car before the horse here,
Speaker 3: but let's just you know, in theory, if they win
Speaker 3: today and close out this series, they would have a
Speaker 3: week off before the World Series, which is scheduled to
Speaker 3: begin next weekend. So weekend, next Friday, next Friday to
Speaker 3: be exactly, so a week from today.
Speaker 5: I was wondering when exactly that was going to start.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that would be next Friday, would be Game one.
Speaker 3: Game two would be on Saturday at Dodger Stadium. Games
Speaker 3: one and two at the Ravine because they'd have home field.
Speaker 3: But if the Yankees, who are up two games to
Speaker 3: one in this ALCS, can close out the Guardians with
Speaker 3: a win today and tomorrow and win this thing in
Speaker 3: five Major League Baseball to their credit actually doing a
Speaker 3: smart thing, which is rare, they will move up the
Speaker 3: start of the World Series till Tuesday. Smart, but only
Speaker 3: if the Yankees close it out by tomorrow in five games,
Speaker 3: then they'll have Sunday Monday, and Game one would be
Speaker 3: on Tuesday, rather than everybody sit around for six days
Speaker 3: to start a World Series. No good, really good job
Speaker 3: by Baseball to put that in there. So if they
Speaker 3: can close it out in Cleveland, if the Dodgers can
Speaker 3: close it out in New York, they'll move up the
Speaker 3: World Series to Tuesday. If not, it is scheduled to
Speaker 3: start next Friday, most likely at Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 5: Okay, so we're talking about today. Is the what today?
Speaker 5: The eighteenth? Today's e eighteenth, right, So yeah, that would
Speaker 5: be smart. If they can both close it down today,
Speaker 5: then you start Tuesday. Yeah, that'd be a good thing
Speaker 5: to do. So I hope they can get that done.
Speaker 5: How about that game yesterday with the Guardians.
Speaker 3: WHOA, the Guardians were up and the getting Judge and
Speaker 3: Stanton had back to back home runs to take the lead,
Speaker 3: and then the Guardians I thought the game was over.
Speaker 3: Me too, I thought it was completely done. I thought, yes,
Speaker 3: here we go, the Dodgers could win. We're gonna move
Speaker 3: up this World Series because both teams are gonna close
Speaker 3: their series out early. And lo and behold, the Cleveland
Speaker 3: Guardians come all the way back and tie it, and
Speaker 3: then I think they win it an extra innings last night.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so it's you always hear, well, you know what,
Speaker 5: if Judge is on, probably gonna win. If Stanton's on,
Speaker 5: they're probably gonna win. If both of them are on,
Speaker 5: you got no chance. No, it didn't happen.
Speaker 3: They were both on, and the Guardians still won walk
Speaker 3: off home run in the tenth inning after a two
Speaker 3: run home run in the bottom of the ninth and
Speaker 3: he one. And I'm gonna be completely honest with you.
Speaker 3: I like to think I follow baseball. I like to
Speaker 3: think I know who who's on these teams. I look
Speaker 3: at the Cleveland Guardians and I'm like, who outside of
Speaker 3: Jose Ramirez. I'll be completely honest with you. I didn't
Speaker 3: know who this Noel guy was who came off the bench,
Speaker 3: and I guess they call him mister Christmas or something
Speaker 3: because of the Noel last day. I mean, I know
Speaker 3: Austin Hedges has been around for a while. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 3: I'll be I just don't know a lot of these
Speaker 3: Kwan's been around. He has been an All star. I
Speaker 3: believe so yeah, I know him.
Speaker 5: He's a good hitter.
Speaker 3: I just don't know a lot of these Cleveland guardians. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean yeah, I mean if if you're in the
Speaker 3: markets where we like to thrive in LA and whatnot,
Speaker 3: Cleveland is not a big market. It's a big team though.
Speaker 3: I mean, they always do it. They always seem to
Speaker 3: be in the mix, even though they don't spend the
Speaker 3: most money. And uh, but they got a good organization.
Speaker 3: But uh, you know what, the Yankees are just stacked too. Boy,
Speaker 3: they are a stack ball club. So I think it's
Speaker 3: gonna be bleak for Cleveland.
Speaker 5: But you never know.
Speaker 3: Fingers crossed and the Dodgers can get to the World Series,
Speaker 3: and somehow the Yankees could get to the World Series.
Speaker 3: It's it's gonna be something special.
Speaker 5: Well can you imagine that this is gonna be phenomenal
Speaker 5: if both teams get there. You got East East coast,
Speaker 5: West coast going at it. I was talking to some
Speaker 5: of my friends last night New York. They're following the
Speaker 5: Dodgers closely because they fear the Dodgers. Yeah, you got
Speaker 5: to hear the sentiment back from New York and some
Speaker 5: of the people I know back there they're saying, man,
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what. We want to get to the
Speaker 5: World Series. They're huge Yankee fans, but getting there against
Speaker 5: the Dodgers is gonna be almost impossible. They look at
Speaker 5: the Dodgers and they think they they can't compete with them.
Speaker 5: That's I mean, this is a Yankee some of the
Speaker 5: Yankee fans.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought you were going. I swear I thought
Speaker 3: you were gonna say they're cocky and they think they
Speaker 3: could be the Dodgers, and they're.
Speaker 5: Like, whoa, you guys are stacked. This is gonna be tough.
Speaker 3: I love it. All right, let's go out to the phones,
Speaker 3: Kenny and Tarzana. Kenny, hopefully we got to you before
Speaker 3: you got to your workout, because I remember that comment
Speaker 3: you made yesterday.
Speaker 1: Oh well, I was just about to go for a walk.
Speaker 1: But I do appreciate that. Thanks for the concerns. There
Speaker 1: you go, Kim. So anyway, first of all, I'm glad
Speaker 1: you mentioned the Yankees guard Exactually, Guardians had a great
Speaker 1: pitching staff and class is best relieve in baseball. He
Speaker 1: hasn't been million in the playoffs, but that was just
Speaker 1: an epic game yesterday. I agree with you. Yamamoto. I
Speaker 1: appreciate both of your objectivity because you guys not only
Speaker 1: can talk about the gad like questions certain things. I
Speaker 1: don't know why we took that moto so and well
Speaker 1: off we I wanted to ask about interference call on
Speaker 1: k K said such a big lead. The announcers didn't
Speaker 1: copy on that. Can you tell me why? Looked like
Speaker 1: Kik just swung the bad and I don't know why
Speaker 1: he was called the interference fight the gig, all.
Speaker 5: Right, appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you has called for interference, Tommy, I've been stolen
Speaker 3: second base right to Yeah. It was late in the
Speaker 3: game and the bat I think from Kei K was
Speaker 3: a bad of frustration because he got a couple of
Speaker 3: strikes called early on, at least the first one I
Speaker 3: don't think he agreed with, and after that it kind
Speaker 3: of felt like he was lost at that at bat,
Speaker 3: at least mentally, he was frustrated with with the homeplate
Speaker 3: umpire and on that strike three I think he swung
Speaker 3: it should have been strike three anyways at the end
Speaker 3: of the the end of the inning, but they called
Speaker 3: him for interference because he leaned over the plate, right.
Speaker 3: That's that's the interference.
Speaker 5: Part right, and it's a it's a subjective thing for
Speaker 5: the umpire. Of course he makes that decision. But yeah,
Speaker 5: he kind of leaned over there. But no big deal.
Speaker 5: I mean he can't get that lost and you know,
Speaker 5: let it go. Yeah, this is uh, you gotta look
Speaker 5: at the big picture here.
Speaker 3: I kind of feel like we're nitpicking there. Kenny and Tarzana,
Speaker 3: Jim and san Diego. Next up here on Saxon, Kate's
Speaker 3: in the am as the Dodgers are one game away,
Speaker 3: one win away from going back to the World Series.
Speaker 8: Excellent.
Speaker 9: Hey, what a privilege to talk to you, Steve SATs
Speaker 9: one of my heroes. Love the Three always. I chose
Speaker 9: the Three just to be like you, but unfortunately couldn't
Speaker 9: be good to talk to you guys.
Speaker 4: Hey, and also Steve, shout out to your son, Thank
Speaker 4: you for the sacrifice, your family, thank you and ultimately
Speaker 4: paid the ultimate sacrifice and just want to recognize that to.
Speaker 10: You.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're rolling.
Speaker 9: I'm I'm flying up the Sacramento to this morning, Steve,
Speaker 9: So maybe you could pick me up about Southwest Yeah,
Speaker 9: I love it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll do it all right.
Speaker 9: Good anyway, Just curious about a couple of things. One,
Speaker 9: why pull Yamamoto so early? I know it's the whole
Speaker 9: third time through, but uh, you know, now we don't
Speaker 9: have Evan and we don't have uh brianan tonight.
Speaker 4: Uh you know, how do you feel.
Speaker 9: Like the Dodgers are going to cover that with those
Speaker 9: two big arms out pitching thirty pitches a piece?
Speaker 3: All right, appreciate it. Jimmy again, if you don't see
Speaker 3: sexy circle in the airport there for you just hopping
Speaker 3: an uber or a taxi, Yeah.
Speaker 5: Come over. My address is well, I've better I say that.
Speaker 3: He mentioned the bullpen Blake trying last night through twenty
Speaker 3: three pitches, Evan Phillips through thirty four pitches. Phillips should
Speaker 3: be available because he hadn't pitched in forever and that
Speaker 3: was the first time he had pitched in this part
Speaker 3: of the series in New York trying last night. It
Speaker 3: was the second of back to back games that he pitched,
Speaker 3: So most likely he's not pitching three days in a
Speaker 3: row unless out of complete necessity. But you've got arrested,
Speaker 3: Michael Kopek, who did not pitch last night, You got arrested.
Speaker 3: Ryan Brazier did not pitch last night. Daniel Hudson hasn't
Speaker 3: pitched since Game one on Sunday. Anthony Bonda hasn't pitched
Speaker 3: since Monday. Brent Honeywell's available for long relief. Ben Casparius,
Speaker 3: I'm assuming he is available, and Land and Knack if
Speaker 3: it's a ballout, is certainly available.
Speaker 5: So yeah, there you go. The Dodgers are well positioned.
Speaker 5: It's never going to be all the time. Yeah, would
Speaker 5: you like to have trying and they're well rested. Sure,
Speaker 5: but you know, like you got the other guys in
Speaker 5: there that can knock it down too, And you know,
Speaker 5: the Dodgers are looking at this thing probably that maybe
Speaker 5: we don't have to be in a position like that
Speaker 5: that the relievers aren't gonna make the difference. It's the
Speaker 5: offense is gonna propel us and maybe get another blowout.
Speaker 5: Every win the Dodgers had against these guys, they've blown
Speaker 5: them out. So that's got to be a comforting feeling
Speaker 5: for that picture, for that pitching staff, including the bullpen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt they're gonna be ready to go the
Speaker 3: bullpen in case they need to cover anying. So let's
Speaker 3: just hope Jack Flaherty is able to deal like he was,
Speaker 3: and you know, limit the amount of outs that the
Speaker 3: bullpen actually has to cover in this possible close out
Speaker 3: Game five. Alexandria in Long Beach is next up here
Speaker 3: on Sacks and Kates in the am. Good morning, Alexandria,
Speaker 3: good morning.
Speaker 11: Can you hear me?
Speaker 3: Okay, we hear you in all of LA here is.
Speaker 12: Wonderful. Thanks guys for taking my call. I am a
Speaker 12: lifelong Dodger fan. I grew up in downy, California suburb,
Speaker 12: but Los Angeles fell in love with the Dodgers and
Speaker 12: the back in the day of Ron, says Steve Garvey,
Speaker 12: Davey Loakes could steal them like nobody else and live
Speaker 12: in Orange County today has been going to the Dodger games,
Speaker 12: tracking it up the four five throughout the summer at
Speaker 12: the NLDS, at the NLCS, and yesterday at ten am,
Speaker 12: I bought my ticket to go to the World Series
Speaker 12: Game two. This team is special.
Speaker 9: They're going all the way, I hope.
Speaker 3: So, Alexandrew appreciate the phone call. I love the positive vibes.
Speaker 3: I love the fact that you're ready for overall series.
Speaker 3: I am secretly, you know, starting to map out the
Speaker 3: World Series and what the schedule is going to look like,
Speaker 3: and how excited I am for more Saxon Kates in
Speaker 3: the am. And yeah, I just hope it's not a
Speaker 3: long layoff. I hope they can keep rhyding this momentum.
Speaker 3: The last thing I want this Dodgers team is to
Speaker 3: have a six day layoff.
Speaker 5: Yeah games, Well, you know what they had five days,
Speaker 5: you know, previous, so they've they've able to They're able
Speaker 5: to get over that hurdle and you know that stigma
Speaker 5: right there. Hey, it's been too long though, We've already
Speaker 5: done that. But Tim, just think by then, by then
Speaker 5: you'll have your you might have your your your thumbs
Speaker 5: deal worked out. Yeah, and you might be able to
Speaker 5: display that. Maybe some remote cameras here can televise over
Speaker 5: there in Japan and you can get this thing off
Speaker 5: the ground.
Speaker 3: I'm all in. I've already exchanged text messages with our
Speaker 3: sales departments. So the awesome the ball is rolling so
Speaker 3: to speak here for this idea, and it's completely your
Speaker 3: idea and I love it and I appreciate it, so.
Speaker 5: It's so good. No no worries.
Speaker 3: Let's go to Scott, who's in North Carolina. Hopefully doing
Speaker 3: okay after what is transpired there the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 10: Scott, how you doing, Hey guys, good morning. Thanks so
Speaker 10: much for doing this show man. It keeps me connected
Speaker 10: out here on the East Coast.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 10: I'm a lifelong Dodger fan. My granddad took my dad
Speaker 10: to Evatt Stield. My dad took me to Varo Beach
Speaker 10: when I was a little boy, and Steve, you were
Speaker 10: so good to me man. When I was like eight
Speaker 10: years old. It was the spring after your eighty six
Speaker 10: All Star season and I got a picture with you.
Speaker 10: You gave me a sign baseball, and that baseball is
Speaker 10: now in my son's bedroom and we pass that along,
Speaker 10: hoping to someday take him. Can't go to Vero Beach anymore,
Speaker 10: but hoping to take him out West sometime the next
Speaker 10: few years. But you meant a lot to me Man
Speaker 10: as a kid, and I really appreciate how kind you were.
Speaker 5: So thank you, Scott.
Speaker 10: A couple of things. Curious what you guys think, why
Speaker 10: shohe hasn't been attempting to steal really at all in
Speaker 10: the postseason. I think maybe he got tagged once in
Speaker 10: the Padre series and then also, which of the two
Speaker 10: teams in the AL do you think would be the
Speaker 10: better matchup?
Speaker 6: And uh and why?
Speaker 10: And thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 3: Thanks Scott, Thanks for the nice words towards Saxon. Appreciate
Speaker 3: Scott show. Hey, Otani not stealing bases in the postseason.
Speaker 3: I mean they're scoring runs in bunches. I don't think
Speaker 3: it's necessity at this point. And I wonder, I mean
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't think it's the cold. I mean,
Speaker 3: he's he hasn't been on base a lot. Well, I
Speaker 3: take that back. He has been on base on the
Speaker 3: last two games, awful lot.
Speaker 5: A lot of it's been circling the bases.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a great point. Run first to home on
Speaker 3: one of those situations as well when he scored, and
Speaker 3: we talked about he was running almost like in slow
Speaker 3: motion last night. I mean, if you need him to
Speaker 3: steal a base, I'm certainly, I mean, he can steal it.
Speaker 5: But yeah, and remember the games have been blowouts, you know,
Speaker 5: pretty much, right, and so you know I kind of
Speaker 5: sometimes think about, well, you don't want to, you know,
Speaker 5: put him at risk and he gets hurt and whatever.
Speaker 5: He stole over fifty bases this year, so throw that
Speaker 5: one out. I mean, I think he enjoys that part
Speaker 5: of the game because he's such a dominant power guy.
Speaker 5: You know, whether it's on the mound he's striking people out,
Speaker 5: whether he's leading the game off with the home run.
Speaker 5: I think when he gets a time to have some
Speaker 5: fun and run the bases like he did we saw
Speaker 5: him last night, or you know, steal fifty bases, I
Speaker 5: think he loves that part of the game.
Speaker 3: I'm more worried about him getting hurt. Fouling pitches off
Speaker 3: his legs.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he did it again last everywhere. I mean, he
Speaker 5: hits himself in the chest, he hits himself in the
Speaker 5: back knee. Yeah, he hits himself in the front ankle,
Speaker 5: he hits himself everywhere. Last hits him itself on the doink.
Speaker 5: I mean, he's just this dude is like fouling. He's
Speaker 5: a palorama with whip him everywhere.
Speaker 3: Late in the game, when he fouled it off his
Speaker 3: back left knee ish area there. That was something which
Speaker 3: is hard to do as a left handed hitter. He
Speaker 3: was in pain. And then the next thing he took
Speaker 3: he was hobbling, hobbling, and I let out an audible
Speaker 3: oh no at home, because I'm thinking, gosh, this is
Speaker 3: the last thing they needed in a blowout game as
Speaker 3: it was, is for him to foul a pitch off
Speaker 3: his leg and now to have a bone bruise for
Speaker 3: the rest of the post.
Speaker 5: I see him fell off the fellow that off his
Speaker 5: back knee, and then he gets out. He hobbles on
Speaker 5: the next on the next pitch, it's kind of hard to,
Speaker 5: you know, stabilize himself. He kind of rubs his knee
Speaker 5: a little bit, and I'm just thinking, man, right inside
Speaker 5: there where he's doing that little rub on his knee,
Speaker 5: that thing's worth seven hundred million bucks, right that has
Speaker 5: a lot of donuts. Man.
Speaker 3: It's very Kirk GiB and it's not severe as an injury.
Speaker 3: It certainly that's as Gibby had, but uh, limping around
Speaker 3: there in the batter's box. Eight sixty six ninety seven
Speaker 3: two five seventy. Coming back, get to more of your
Speaker 3: phone calls. Eight sixty six ninety seven, two five seventy.
Speaker 3: David Matt Saint George is at the top of the
Speaker 3: hour from New York. He had a long night last night,
Speaker 3: deep into the night. I think he was on the
Speaker 3: air until one three in the morning, New York Time, Wow,

Speaker 3: on A five seventy How you doing one?
Speaker 11: Hey, I'm doing good.
Speaker 1: How about yourself?
Speaker 3: Good doing good?
Speaker 6: Thanks?
Speaker 11: Hey?
Speaker 9: One?
Speaker 3: Go ahead one.
Speaker 1: How's it going guys?
Speaker 5: Good?
Speaker 13: Hey?
Speaker 11: I just wanted to say that I think we got
Speaker 11: to continue to trust in the boys, trusting Dave Roberts,
Speaker 11: and how about trusting and Andrew Friedman going out and
Speaker 11: picking up Tommy Edmond coming off an injury and just
Speaker 11: being the best hitter in the lineup right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's been fantastic, batting clean up last night, setting
Speaker 3: the table for the bottom of the lineup to extend
Speaker 3: to get those six hit bats for shohy Otani and
Speaker 3: Mookie Betts at the top of the lineup, and oh yeah,
Speaker 3: producing as well, driving in runs. I mean, I don't
Speaker 3: mind Tommy Emmen hitting clean up. The rest of the
Speaker 3: way is hey, Tim continues to do that.
Speaker 5: Can you imagine this someday Tommy Edmond in the future saying,
Speaker 5: remember those prolific Dodger teams in the postseason when it
Speaker 5: really counted, Yeah, we had a guy who hit over
Speaker 5: fifty home runs that year. Guess who hit clean up
Speaker 5: in the postseason?
Speaker 6: Me, I's try it.
Speaker 3: This guy.
Speaker 5: I love it.
Speaker 3: This guy right here also playing short stop for you
Speaker 3: and can play center field if you need me. Israel
Speaker 3: in Rosemeat is next up.
Speaker 10: Israel Good morning, Hey, good morning, guys, Kate's and Sacks.
Speaker 14: You guys are the best in the morning. I love
Speaker 14: listening to you guys, and I'm really excited about just
Speaker 14: hopefully our boys can finish it off today.
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit, uh, a little.
Speaker 14: Bit nervous, you know, because we're one way, one win
Speaker 14: away from the World Series. But I was just kind
Speaker 14: of going over your thoughts about what what do you
Speaker 14: think our bullpen can do today. I know that the
Speaker 14: arms are tired, but I'm really excited just one win
Speaker 14: away from the World Series and four wins away from
Speaker 14: another Dodger Chap Baby.
Speaker 3: Yeah, is real appreciate it. Yeah, the bullpen's in a
Speaker 3: good situation. Thanks for the phone call. The bullpens we
Speaker 3: talked about is in a very good situation with probably
Speaker 3: all hands on deck outside of Blake Trying. But I
Speaker 3: guess if you were to tell Blake Trying we need
Speaker 3: you for a.
Speaker 5: Bat, he'll jump in there. Yeah, absolutely, give me an opportunity.
Speaker 5: He'll say he.
Speaker 3: Is wired like that. And even though he's thrown thirty
Speaker 3: four pitches in the last two days. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 3: think you'd have a problem getting hot real quick and
Speaker 3: going out there and getting in a bat maybe facing
Speaker 3: a Pede Alonzo whoever you asked him to do, or
Speaker 3: whatever you asked him to do. All those guys, I
Speaker 3: mean to hear all of them talk about we'll do
Speaker 3: whatever it takes. And our role was a closer before
Speaker 3: when before I came here, I was a closer of
Speaker 3: the White Sox of Michael Kopek. You know, I'm a
Speaker 3: I'm a former closer and Blake trying and you know,
Speaker 3: and did it for so many years in Oakland and
Speaker 3: with the Nationals, and that's my role. They don't care.
Speaker 5: You're not hearing anything. Well, this is what I do. Yeah,
Speaker 5: you're not hearing any of that. You're hearing like, what
Speaker 5: can I do? That's what you're hearing. What can I
Speaker 5: do now?
Speaker 3: And it's the selfish attitude, selfless attitude that has been
Speaker 3: a big part of this Dodgers team. Robert and Fontana
Speaker 3: is next up here on Saxon Kates at the Am
Speaker 3: on his Friday morning leading up to Game five. Are
Speaker 3: you doing Robert, Hey.
Speaker 13: Good morning guys.
Speaker 3: Nice talking to you, guys, talking to you too.
Speaker 13: Call in man, you gotta get Freeman. A lot of
Speaker 13: CRITI man picking up Tommy Hemmons you know the tree line,
Speaker 13: it's the job he's doing betting three twenty four and
Speaker 13: the you know bet he's fourth, the guy with the
Speaker 13: shortest status, and how he's stating fourth. Oh man, that
Speaker 13: was a very beautiful pickup of him, no.
Speaker 3: Doubt about it. Yeah, Tommy Emmon two for six last night,
Speaker 3: drives into three runs, batting clean up, playing shortstop. The
Speaker 3: guy's name is not Corey Seeger, He's not six foot
Speaker 3: four and can hit thirty plus home runs a year.
Speaker 3: His name is Tommy Edmond, and he'll do whatever you
Speaker 3: ask him to do. And last night batting cleanup, he
Speaker 3: absolutely did that. And you know right behind him Keith
Speaker 3: aery Nandez two for five last night. You know Max
Speaker 3: Munsey getting on base four times. Then that's a pretty
Speaker 3: nice little trio to have outside of the top three
Speaker 3: that's already in the lineup. And then if you can
Speaker 3: get Will Smith back to get going, had a hit
Speaker 3: last night, drove in a run. I mean he's bat
Speaker 3: in seventh right now. That's a deadly one through seven.
Speaker 3: If these guys keep doing they've been doing the last
Speaker 3: two games.
Speaker 5: Tim, I'll tell you what's another wonderful thing as well,
Speaker 5: And you don't like to point this out because you
Speaker 5: want him there. But we haven't even talked about Freddie
Speaker 5: Freeman today and this is one of the best players
Speaker 5: in the game. Yet the team goes out doesn't miss
Speaker 5: a beat. It's not that you know you don't want
Speaker 5: Freddy there. Of course you want him there. This is
Speaker 5: a much better team with him in the lineup, but
Speaker 5: you have a chance to patch that over and not
Speaker 5: miss a beat. Look at Munzie. Twelve times in a row.
Speaker 5: He's been on base and playing a pretty good first
Speaker 5: base as well, so you know need Freddy back. But
Speaker 5: that shows the depth of the club.
Speaker 3: It tells you why we're not talking about Freddie Freeman
Speaker 3: not being the lineup last night is because as you mentioned,
Speaker 3: ten runs last night, twelve hits going deep, Honey and
Speaker 3: Mookie Betts, so the offense was checked and then as
Speaker 3: you mentioned, Max Munsey did his job at first base.
Speaker 3: There was nothing that was glaring, there was nothing that
Speaker 3: stood out where a play wasn't made, and you're like, ah,
Speaker 3: where's Freddy at where's Freddy Freeman? So out of sight,
Speaker 3: out of mind in a good way last night, so
Speaker 3: he can get off his feet and the Dodgers don't
Speaker 3: skip a beat on the field, but at least that ankle,
Speaker 3: because you got to start thinking about the World Series.
Speaker 3: I again don't want to look too far ahead, but
Speaker 3: you have to think about Freddie Freeman the ankle some
Speaker 3: time off. Maybe it's gonna be a good thing. It
Speaker 3: will be another week removed from that initial sprained ankle.
Speaker 3: It's a positive.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I want to see the X rays on that ankle.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm no doctor. It is the worst sprained
Speaker 3: ankle in the history of the world.
Speaker 5: It's got to be the worst. I mean, I don't
Speaker 5: think you know paratroopers jumping out of planes straining their ankles.
Speaker 3: As bad as they never saw anything like this bad one. Yeah,
Speaker 3: they're gonna put this in the Smithsonian. Is one of
Speaker 3: the greatest sprained ankles in the history of the world.
Speaker 5: You know, when they talk about a high ankle sprain,
Speaker 5: I don't know how high is a damn ankle.
Speaker 3: My ankle's pretty You can't even see how high it is.
Speaker 3: That's not high.
Speaker 5: Is that like on your ship? Yeah, what does that mean?
Speaker 3: It's it's huge. Reggie in La it's next up here
Speaker 3: on Saxon Kates in the morning, Hi, Reggie, how you
Speaker 3: doing all right?
Speaker 8: All right, great morning. I think it's crazy to think
Speaker 8: that last week we had questions about our starting pitching.
Speaker 8: Isn't that crazy that we weren't sure that they were
Speaker 8: going to come through it? When you watch Yamamoto, I mean,
Speaker 8: this is a guy that I don't think we've even
Speaker 8: seen the best of them yet. He hasn't even developed
Speaker 8: on that veteran savvy that we see some of the
Speaker 8: other pitchers. I mean, as soon as next season, we
Speaker 8: may not even see anybody to get hits off this guy.
Speaker 8: And the scene that's kind of hitting, especially the Mets
Speaker 8: trying to save their best pitcher for a pivotal game
Speaker 8: and for him to get rocked like that, I think
Speaker 8: the Mets are in trouble. And I think you're gonna
Speaker 8: have a problem hosting that that Pennan party tomorrow night.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll find out. Reggie appreciate the phone call. Uh
Speaker 3: it's uh. I mean they're sitting on Shaman and last
Speaker 3: night I don't know who it was. Maybe with something
Speaker 3: on Dodger Talk I was half asleep, and uh, maybe
Speaker 3: with something on TV said, you know, are the Mets
Speaker 3: thinking maybe Sean Manyah on short rest, bring him out
Speaker 3: for Game five today. That was on TV and John
Speaker 3: Smoltz said, no, you can't do that. It's too short
Speaker 3: to rest for Mananaya to go back out there. He
Speaker 3: may not have that same success that he did against
Speaker 3: the Dodger.
Speaker 5: Maybe a difference, Maybe a difference now next time they
Speaker 5: face Sean Manyah.
