00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:13.880
<v Speaker 1>Off Angelinos, David Vasse.

5
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:21.960
<v Speaker 2>We are live at Dodgers Stadium until eleven o'clock tonight

6
00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:26.199
<v Speaker 2>on Dodger Talk. David Vasse taking your phone calls at

7
00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:29.879
<v Speaker 2>eight sixty six nine eight seven, two, five seventy after

8
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:34.079
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers get their first playoff win since twenty twenty two.

9
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:37.600
<v Speaker 2>That also was Game one of the NLDS and it

10
00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:41.679
<v Speaker 2>was also against those San Diego Padres. A big win

11
00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:45.000
<v Speaker 2>tonight as the Dodgers take Game one of this best

12
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:48.840
<v Speaker 2>of five series by a final score of seven to five,

13
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:52.759
<v Speaker 2>and the Dodger bullpen, like they have done all season long,

14
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:56.920
<v Speaker 2>coming up big and covering more innings and outs than

15
00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:02.399
<v Speaker 2>they normally would have to. But yosh D Yamamoto ineffective tonight,

16
00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:07.120
<v Speaker 2>only out there for three innings, meaning the Dodgers' bullpen

17
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:12.200
<v Speaker 2>had to cover eighteen outs, which they did. Ryan Brasier,

18
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:16.159
<v Speaker 2>the winning pitcher Blake Trinen, with a five out save

19
00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:19.840
<v Speaker 2>tonight eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy

20
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:20.799
<v Speaker 2>is the phone number.

21
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:22.680
<v Speaker 3>We will hear from Freddie Freeman.

22
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:25.719
<v Speaker 2>In a moment, we will hear from Dave Roberts, and

23
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:28.599
<v Speaker 2>coming up later in the show, we will hear from

24
00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:32.879
<v Speaker 2>Clayton Kershaw and Jack Flaherty. Jose Moto will join us

25
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:35.480
<v Speaker 2>at the bottom of the hour to give his thoughts

26
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:38.439
<v Speaker 2>on what took place tonight as the Dodgers got a

27
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.840
<v Speaker 2>very big win. I said this before the game, and

28
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:45.519
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't just because the Dodgers ended up winning, but

29
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:48.719
<v Speaker 2>I thought whoever won this game was going to win

30
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:49.439
<v Speaker 2>the series.

31
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:52.959
<v Speaker 3>The Dodgers have to hold serve here in La.

32
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:56.799
<v Speaker 2>They could not afford to go down O one to

33
00:01:56.879 --> 00:02:01.319
<v Speaker 2>the Padres, who are writing not only moment from winning

34
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:04.879
<v Speaker 2>the Wildcard Series in two games over the Braves, but

35
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:08.400
<v Speaker 2>riding a wave of a momentum that started after the

36
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:11.800
<v Speaker 2>All Star Break where they had the best record in baseball.

37
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:15.599
<v Speaker 2>So the Dodgers cool off the red hot Padres and

38
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:19.319
<v Speaker 2>maybe put some doubt in their mind. Not only do

39
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:22.759
<v Speaker 2>the Padres lose this game, but they also lost one

40
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:26.919
<v Speaker 2>of their prime starters in Joe Musgrove, during the fourth

41
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:30.639
<v Speaker 2>inning of their Wildcard clinching win over the Braves. So

42
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:34.639
<v Speaker 2>the Padres now all of a sudden don't have everything

43
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:40.840
<v Speaker 2>going their way and Show Heotani certainly silenced all the critics.

44
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:44.599
<v Speaker 2>What other questions are there now of show Haotani. First

45
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:47.479
<v Speaker 2>it was he couldn't come up with runners in scoring position.

46
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:51.520
<v Speaker 2>Well he's doing that now at a higher clip than

47
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:55.400
<v Speaker 2>we've ever seen any other player in recent memory deliver

48
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:59.560
<v Speaker 2>in those situations. He hit a walk off grand Slam

49
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:04.000
<v Speaker 2>to go forty forty at Dodgers Stadium. He came back

50
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:07.039
<v Speaker 2>after going fifty to fifty and hit a big home run.

51
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:09.960
<v Speaker 2>He has come up with a walkoff basit during the

52
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:15.319
<v Speaker 2>regular season. Tonight, with two outs comes up with a huge,

53
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:19.199
<v Speaker 2>game tying three run home run in the second inning

54
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:23.280
<v Speaker 2>to bring Dodger Stadium to life and really changed the

55
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:26.599
<v Speaker 2>mindset of the Dodgers who were down early again three

56
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:31.960
<v Speaker 2>to nothing. So he changed everything with that home run.

57
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:32.840
<v Speaker 3>In the second inning.

58
00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:37.159
<v Speaker 2>He has changed everything for this Dodger team the last

59
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:41.439
<v Speaker 2>two weeks because just being around that clubhouse, I get

60
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:45.879
<v Speaker 2>a very heightened sense they are looking for Shoe Aotani

61
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:51.000
<v Speaker 2>to lead them on the field and lead them emotionally.

62
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:52.039
<v Speaker 3>And he has done that.

63
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:54.479
<v Speaker 2>Going back to last week when he came up with

64
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:58.560
<v Speaker 2>two huge hits to help the Dodgers clinch the NLST

65
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:02.960
<v Speaker 2>against the Padres. And to me, tonight we saw more

66
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:06.560
<v Speaker 2>fight from the Dodgers than what we have seen from

67
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:10.560
<v Speaker 2>them in each of the last two postseasons. And it

68
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:15.280
<v Speaker 2>goes back to their preparation during this week for this series.

69
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:16.439
<v Speaker 3>They were together.

70
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:22.639
<v Speaker 2>They didn't exhale, they ate, they slept, they talked baseball.

71
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:27.560
<v Speaker 2>They were here at Dodgers Stadium together eliminating distractions. And

72
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:30.680
<v Speaker 2>I know that may had not meant anything by the

73
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:33.680
<v Speaker 2>time the final out was recorded tonight if it went

74
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:36.360
<v Speaker 2>against them. But the one thing you could say is

75
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:40.720
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers mentally were more locked in coming into this

76
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:44.600
<v Speaker 2>game than they were in each of their last two postseasons.

77
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:48.000
<v Speaker 2>And how about Freddie Freeman. You want to talk about

78
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:51.639
<v Speaker 2>the epitome of fight and wanting this a guy that

79
00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:56.560
<v Speaker 2>has a severely sprained right ankle, coming down to basically

80
00:04:56.600 --> 00:05:00.879
<v Speaker 2>an hour before first pitch, finding a way to you know,

81
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:05.120
<v Speaker 2>get himself in that lineup, telling Dave Roberts, convincing him

82
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:08.399
<v Speaker 2>I am good to go, and then delivers with two

83
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:12.759
<v Speaker 2>hits and to boot steals a base. I mean, come on,

84
00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:19.279
<v Speaker 2>nobody can question Freddie Freeman's heart or desire to help

85
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:21.360
<v Speaker 2>win a world series here in La.

86
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:25.560
<v Speaker 3>Here was Freddy after the game with Ken Rosenthal. Freddy,

87
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:28.839
<v Speaker 3>we all know you have a severely screened ankle. How

88
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:30.560
<v Speaker 3>were you able to get on the field tonight.

89
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:33.480
<v Speaker 4>I can't thank the training staff enough. A lot of

90
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:36.639
<v Speaker 4>hard work. I got here about eleven am start the

91
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:38.759
<v Speaker 4>process of trying to get ready, and every day is

92
00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:41.199
<v Speaker 4>gonna be day to day, but we'll up with some soreness.

93
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:43.800
<v Speaker 4>That's why I was a little touchy at there before

94
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:44.160
<v Speaker 4>the game.

95
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:45.040
<v Speaker 5>But a lot of work.

96
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:47.720
<v Speaker 3>Brian Dian's mentally, it's a lot.

97
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:49.560
<v Speaker 4>You know, I'm just trying to get myself ready to

98
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:52.120
<v Speaker 4>play the game, but you know when it's supposed to

99
00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:54.399
<v Speaker 4>just try and do anything you can to be out there.

100
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:56.800
<v Speaker 3>To stolen base. What were you thinking?

101
00:05:57.279 --> 00:05:59.959
<v Speaker 4>Well, I understand, I know that I was praying ankle,

102
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:05.000
<v Speaker 4>but I want to play the game the right way.

103
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:07.839
<v Speaker 4>He was at one six five at home play ninety

104
00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:08.800
<v Speaker 4>feet in the postseason.

105
00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:09.319
<v Speaker 3>You never know.

106
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:12.600
<v Speaker 4>I felt good enough and if I can't play the

107
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:13.879
<v Speaker 4>game the right way, I shouldn't be out there. And

108
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:15.399
<v Speaker 4>I needed to go in that situation if they're going

109
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:17.519
<v Speaker 4>to try and give me ninety feet, So I think

110
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:18.639
<v Speaker 4>I got lucky.

111
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:22.879
<v Speaker 3>How do you expect it's going to be tonight and tomorrow.

112
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:24.079
<v Speaker 3>What's it feeling like now?

113
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:26.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean I got a lot of drilling going

114
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:27.759
<v Speaker 4>right now, so I'm sure in about fifteen minutes it

115
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:31.000
<v Speaker 4>might all set in. But I think before I get

116
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:32.600
<v Speaker 4>a call from Doc in the morning and see I

117
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:35.120
<v Speaker 4>am and I'll come in here early and start the

118
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:38.160
<v Speaker 4>prep again to try and get ready. But I was

119
00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:40.360
<v Speaker 4>able to play nine days after it, so I'm pretty

120
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:42.959
<v Speaker 4>pretty happy about it. And I think we've got a

121
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:46.600
<v Speaker 4>good process of leading up and all the treatment I

122
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:47.959
<v Speaker 4>got to do before the game that I hopefully I

123
00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:49.759
<v Speaker 4>can be out there again. Freddy, thank you, appreciate it.

124
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:49.959
<v Speaker 3>Thank you.

125
00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:53.560
<v Speaker 2>There he is Freddy Freeman on Fox Sports after the

126
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:57.759
<v Speaker 2>game with the great Ken Rosenthal, and look, Freddy is

127
00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:01.000
<v Speaker 2>the epitome of the fight this Dodger team seems to

128
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:04.199
<v Speaker 2>have that they did not have each of the last

129
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:07.879
<v Speaker 2>two years. Taoscar Hernandez, who has not been part of

130
00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:11.959
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers until this season, obviously showed what he can

131
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:15.000
<v Speaker 2>do in a big spot coming up with the bases

132
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:18.639
<v Speaker 2>loaded and delivering the go ahead runs to give the

133
00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:21.639
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers the lead. I go back to the bottom of

134
00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:25.560
<v Speaker 2>the fourth inning. That's where this game got into. Got

135
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:28.560
<v Speaker 2>out a hand for Mike Shilt and the Padres, and

136
00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:32.040
<v Speaker 2>it gave all the momentum to the Dodgers. Lost in

137
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:36.240
<v Speaker 2>the electric come from behind. Three runs for the Dodgers

138
00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:39.040
<v Speaker 2>in that fourth inning and lost in the game tying

139
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:43.160
<v Speaker 2>electric three run home run by shohe Otani was the

140
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:46.279
<v Speaker 2>at bat by Tommy Edmund with one out in the

141
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:50.839
<v Speaker 2>fourth inning to start that three run rally. Tommy Edmund

142
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:54.720
<v Speaker 2>this season hitting two hundred from the left side as

143
00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:58.680
<v Speaker 2>a switch hitter. Manny Machada was basically in the sixth hole,

144
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:04.800
<v Speaker 2>giving Tommy Edmond all of that grass between third base

145
00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:08.000
<v Speaker 2>and the pitcher's mound. Tommy Edmund, the one thing that

146
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:12.319
<v Speaker 2>he is described as is a ballplayer. He showed it.

147
00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:16.120
<v Speaker 2>He understood who he is. He understood he hasn't been

148
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:18.720
<v Speaker 2>swinging the bat that great from the left side, So

149
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:22.800
<v Speaker 2>knowing the Dodgers needed base runners, what did he do

150
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:26.439
<v Speaker 2>with one strike? He laid down a perfect bunt that

151
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:30.399
<v Speaker 2>Dylan Sees couldn't handle, and Minny Machado is nowhere close

152
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:35.039
<v Speaker 2>to getting to that started the rally for the Dodgers

153
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:35.960
<v Speaker 2>in the fourth inning.

154
00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:37.759
<v Speaker 3>Don't sleep on that.

155
00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:41.320
<v Speaker 2>And also, you know we talk about some of the

156
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:45.840
<v Speaker 2>managerial moves that can change a game. What was Mike

157
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Shilt doing walking Mookie Betts in a two to two

158
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:55.240
<v Speaker 2>count that set up of Freddie Freeman and also ta

159
00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:57.720
<v Speaker 2>Oscar Hernandez. I know they got the four s out

160
00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:01.600
<v Speaker 2>at home plate, but it was very clear to Miguel

161
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:06.279
<v Speaker 2>Rojas being safe and then Teoscar Hernandez coming to the

162
00:09:06.279 --> 00:09:09.200
<v Speaker 2>plate with a big hit with the bases loaded and

163
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:12.879
<v Speaker 2>two outs. I thought walking Mookie Betts, who had not

164
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:16.480
<v Speaker 2>had a good swing all night long, was a pivotal

165
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:20.960
<v Speaker 2>decision in that fourth inning going the Dodgers way. Here's

166
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:24.399
<v Speaker 2>the Padres manager on why he decided to make that

167
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:27.360
<v Speaker 2>very Tony Larusa like move.

168
00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:29.960
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, that whole inning was already you know, kind of

169
00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:33.440
<v Speaker 6>thought about the different variables. You know, we went out

170
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:37.399
<v Speaker 6>dying an issue. We're thinking Dylan may take take him

171
00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:40.240
<v Speaker 6>through bets. But as soon as you know, Tommy gets

172
00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:43.320
<v Speaker 6>the bunt down, Robotsi's the base hit. Now we're sitting

173
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:46.000
<v Speaker 6>there going all right, we like Mariy hoone on on

174
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:48.960
<v Speaker 6>a Tawny comes in and makes a beautiful pitch, you know,

175
00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:53.960
<v Speaker 6>blows him up. Now we got Mookie on Maury Hone

176
00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:56.679
<v Speaker 6>went he threw the like the knuckle curve of the

177
00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:00.000
<v Speaker 6>split whatever we want to call it, that got by him.

178
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:02.799
<v Speaker 6>Now we got second and third, we got a base open.

179
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:06.200
<v Speaker 6>Mookie's not a big against lefties. He's not gonna hit

180
00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:11.200
<v Speaker 6>ground balls, he's not gonna strike out pretty much, and

181
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:14.159
<v Speaker 6>he's gonna walk. So now you can sit there and say,

182
00:10:14.759 --> 00:10:18.720
<v Speaker 6>let's tap dance around him. No, let's go to Freddy

183
00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:23.120
<v Speaker 6>with Maury Hone, who throws you know, fifty ground ball

184
00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:26.480
<v Speaker 6>rate against lefties. And I would say Freddy wouldn't move

185
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:28.519
<v Speaker 6>in good, but he stills a bag and plays possum

186
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:32.840
<v Speaker 6>on us. All right, so we go to we go

187
00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:36.039
<v Speaker 6>to Freddy to get the ground ball, and we got it,

188
00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:38.559
<v Speaker 6>you know, and Sana makes it. You know, no one

189
00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:43.120
<v Speaker 6>we got Estrata on Hernandez after that. So the whole

190
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:46.759
<v Speaker 6>inning was was not right where we wanted it, but

191
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:49.519
<v Speaker 6>unplayed the way we basically wanted it in that sense,

192
00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:54.080
<v Speaker 6>you know, we just Tony flared one in ground ball

193
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:57.080
<v Speaker 6>wouldn't add anybody from Freddy. But Saana makes a great play,

194
00:10:57.480 --> 00:10:59.559
<v Speaker 6>gets the force at home. Higgy makes a great play too.

195
00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:02.799
<v Speaker 6>By the way, guys are just nice. And now we're

196
00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:04.039
<v Speaker 6>sitting there and we got estrada.

197
00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:06.919
<v Speaker 3>All right, we got it. Mike Shelt.

198
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:10.000
<v Speaker 2>You had your reasons. I did not agree with them,

199
00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:13.440
<v Speaker 2>and thank you very much because that helped the Dodgers

200
00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:17.240
<v Speaker 2>get that momentum in the fourth inning, and that's where

201
00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:20.559
<v Speaker 2>it got away from the Padres and all the momentum

202
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:23.159
<v Speaker 2>went the Dodgers way and they did not give up

203
00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:26.279
<v Speaker 2>the lead. They go on to beat the Padres seven

204
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:31.440
<v Speaker 2>to five in Game one of a very important NLDS

205
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:34.799
<v Speaker 2>for the Dodgers as they are looking to take a

206
00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:38.799
<v Speaker 2>stranglehold on this series. Tomorrow night to go up to

<v Speaker 7>an outstanding job all year covering the Dodgers. Appreciate you.

<v Speaker 7>Number two, I want to thank show hey O Tani,

216
00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:15.919
<v Speaker 7>who we all know is the best player on the planet,

217
00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:18.960
<v Speaker 7>for giving the Padres a big gut punch tonight and

218
00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:22.399
<v Speaker 7>his epic bat flip that is going to charge up

219
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:26.039
<v Speaker 7>this Dodgers for the rest of the playoffs. Number three,

220
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:28.679
<v Speaker 7>I want to give it thanks out to mister no

221
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:32.480
<v Speaker 7>hustle Manny Machado for his week back bat flip and

222
00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:35.759
<v Speaker 7>his throwing there in the fifth and even striking out

223
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:38.000
<v Speaker 7>to end the game. I thought that was pretty cool.

224
00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:41.000
<v Speaker 7>And Fourthly, I want to give a big thank you

225
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:45.120
<v Speaker 7>to Freddie Freeman for his gutty and gritty performance tonight

226
00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:48.600
<v Speaker 7>at the stadium, and I want to also give him

227
00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:51.600
<v Speaker 7>a shout out. Two weeks ago, I was fortunate to

228
00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:55.960
<v Speaker 7>sit in the Dodger Club Dodger Dugout club seats and

229
00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:01.200
<v Speaker 7>after the game watch Freddie walk his Max, who's still

230
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:04.639
<v Speaker 7>in therapy from his illness, walk him around the bases

231
00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:06.320
<v Speaker 7>and carry him around the bases.

232
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:08.559
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, I saw that too.

233
00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:11.879
<v Speaker 2>That was great and Max is walking now and things

234
00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:15.000
<v Speaker 2>are going in the right direction. Thanks for the phone call,

235
00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:18.840
<v Speaker 2>Ryan appreciated. I should give thanks to the Dodger fans

236
00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:22.759
<v Speaker 2>because you guys brought it tonight. You made this a

237
00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:26.919
<v Speaker 2>hostile environment like we saw in that two game series

238
00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:30.480
<v Speaker 2>with the Padres and Braves, the Padres fans making it

239
00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:34.159
<v Speaker 2>a very hostile environment, and it will be that way

240
00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:37.559
<v Speaker 2>when the Dodgers go down there for Game three. So

241
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:41.600
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers Stadium, the fans that sold out this place, you

242
00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:46.639
<v Speaker 2>made this a hostile environment, and show Aotani gave you

243
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:50.159
<v Speaker 2>something to cheer for, and from that point on this

244
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:53.679
<v Speaker 2>place was rocking. Let's go out to Victor, who is

245
00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:57.639
<v Speaker 2>a Dodgers stadium tonight. Hi, Victor, you're on with David Vasse.

<v Speaker 8>All we all deserve some Monica respect every now and then,

251
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:13.320
<v Speaker 8>especially after a win like this. I have galls in

252
00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:15.799
<v Speaker 8>my mouth like I'm on the Godfather. Let me tell

253
00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:18.559
<v Speaker 8>you about this Dodger thing of ours. Matter of fact,

254
00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:23.080
<v Speaker 8>this luks andless thing of ours. We don't waste atomic rosters.

255
00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:26.279
<v Speaker 8>We wasn't a championship with Mookie, didn't we We have

256
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:31.360
<v Speaker 8>show Hay added to that, the guys showed up well.

257
00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:34.519
<v Speaker 8>First of all, we showed up in electric fashion. And

258
00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:38.919
<v Speaker 8>what happened in the most important way, the best defeated

259
00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:42.000
<v Speaker 8>the pitching and all the ailments of our own pitching.

260
00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:44.039
<v Speaker 8>And that's why I want to see it. Do no't

261
00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:46.399
<v Speaker 8>matter what we can't do. Let me show you that

262
00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:49.399
<v Speaker 8>you can't stop us, and baseball for the hard sports

263
00:14:49.399 --> 00:14:53.039
<v Speaker 8>to do that in. And you know, I'm ecstatic. I've

264
00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:57.399
<v Speaker 8>been calling since nine five. That's how aesthetic I am.

265
00:14:57.559 --> 00:15:01.000
<v Speaker 8>I still got my talent in my hand. I cannot

266
00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:04.840
<v Speaker 8>tell you how perfectly we won tonight because I want

267
00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:07.559
<v Speaker 8>to see if we can defeat our own limitsis which

268
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:08.360
<v Speaker 8>is our pitches.

269
00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:10.279
<v Speaker 10>Hey yeah, well the Dodgers.

270
00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:12.960
<v Speaker 2>You know, I talked to a few different players that

271
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:16.559
<v Speaker 2>played against both the Padres and Dodgers, and they believed

272
00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:19.440
<v Speaker 2>if the Dodgers were going to win this game tonight,

273
00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:22.559
<v Speaker 2>and if they're going to win games in the postseason,

274
00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:25.679
<v Speaker 2>they're going to have to score at least five runs

275
00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:28.240
<v Speaker 2>a game with the way their pitching is set up

276
00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:28.679
<v Speaker 2>right now.

277
00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:29.679
<v Speaker 3>And tonight they did.

278
00:15:29.720 --> 00:15:34.039
<v Speaker 2>They scored seven runs, and they only scored six combined

279
00:15:34.159 --> 00:15:38.559
<v Speaker 2>in three NLDS games last season. Thanks for the phone

280
00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:41.960
<v Speaker 2>call appreciated, Victor. Let's go out to Ricardo, who also

281
00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:43.679
<v Speaker 2>was at Dodgers Stadium tonight.

282
00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:45.919
<v Speaker 3>Hi, Ricardo, you're on Dodger.

283
00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:47.559
<v Speaker 11>Talk, David.

284
00:15:47.639 --> 00:15:48.200
<v Speaker 12>How you doing.

285
00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:50.399
<v Speaker 3>Hey, I'm feeling good.

286
00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:54.480
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers made me look good and they played with confidence.

287
00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:58.320
<v Speaker 2>I felt like too many people were giving the Padres

288
00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:02.399
<v Speaker 2>too much credit and not recognizing the Dodgers have the

289
00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:05.720
<v Speaker 2>best player on the planet and they've got some pretty

290
00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:08.159
<v Speaker 2>good players one through nine on their team too.

291
00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:12.120
<v Speaker 12>Yes, they do. Look. I was at the game, you know,

292
00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:14.879
<v Speaker 12>and and the Padres sit the lead were early three

293
00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:18.519
<v Speaker 12>to zarrow. The stadium was flat, but one show hal

294
00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:21.720
<v Speaker 12>Tony went up to the plate and hit that laser

295
00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:24.799
<v Speaker 12>out to right field. It was like the stadium just

296
00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:28.720
<v Speaker 12>came back from the dead. It was electric. Now, I

297
00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:31.440
<v Speaker 12>wanted to mention some team moments, and you mentioned it

298
00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:34.279
<v Speaker 12>as well. I mean, it almost will sound kind of cliche,

299
00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:37.960
<v Speaker 12>but the Dodgers were able to play small ball, you know,

300
00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:41.919
<v Speaker 12>put runners on base, put the bunt down, capitalize on

301
00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:45.639
<v Speaker 12>the errors of the Padres because you know, those mental errors,

302
00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:49.039
<v Speaker 12>you know, really made a difference in the game. One

303
00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:52.039
<v Speaker 12>more thing, David, you know, I want to talk about

304
00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:55.200
<v Speaker 12>the ninth inning, the top of the ninth that diving

305
00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:59.159
<v Speaker 12>catch by Davin Lux. I mean that that was beautiful.

306
00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:02.120
<v Speaker 12>I mean, I really think he saved the run with

307
00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:05.799
<v Speaker 12>that catch right there. And man, that was the bottom

308
00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:07.640
<v Speaker 12>bottom of the game tonight.

309
00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:09.720
<v Speaker 3>Lux played a good game tonight.

310
00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:12.920
<v Speaker 2>And how about the catch Miguel Rojas made in the

311
00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:16.640
<v Speaker 2>eighth inning on boguards that had trouble written all over it.

312
00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:19.880
<v Speaker 12>Oh yeah, he got that ball like a wide receiver.

313
00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:20.359
<v Speaker 13>I mean.

314
00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:22.920
<v Speaker 8>That was awesome.

315
00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:25.839
<v Speaker 2>That's not an easy play. He made it look easy.

316
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:29.119
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for the phone call, Ricardo, appreciate it. Eight six

317
00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:32.839
<v Speaker 2>six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number.

318
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:36.640
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers take Game one of the NLDS seven to five,

319
00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:40.440
<v Speaker 2>the final score over the Padres. Let's head downstairs to

320
00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:42.880
<v Speaker 2>hear from the manager, Dave Roberts.

321
00:17:43.240 --> 00:17:46.160
<v Speaker 9>The first inning certainly was an ideal as far as

322
00:17:46.200 --> 00:17:49.839
<v Speaker 9>striking first, but it was good to see us show

323
00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:53.079
<v Speaker 9>some resilience and take a blow and respond the way

324
00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:55.880
<v Speaker 9>we did, and even to tie the ball game up

325
00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:58.319
<v Speaker 9>and then you know, give up two more and then

326
00:17:58.319 --> 00:18:02.160
<v Speaker 9>to continue to fight back just really speaks to, you know,

327
00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:05.440
<v Speaker 9>the character of this group. And I've talked about this

328
00:18:05.480 --> 00:18:08.000
<v Speaker 9>for a few weeks and we need we need to fight,

329
00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:11.799
<v Speaker 9>and you know, and that's what we did tonight and

330
00:18:12.359 --> 00:18:15.920
<v Speaker 9>didn't get an ideal start, but guys in the pen

331
00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:18.599
<v Speaker 9>picked us up, and the offense was relentless with their

332
00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:19.079
<v Speaker 9>at bats.

333
00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:21.920
<v Speaker 8>What did Show's home run due just maybe open things

334
00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:22.799
<v Speaker 8>up for you guys offense?

335
00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:25.359
<v Speaker 9>Forre it just kind of obviously it got us back

336
00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:29.680
<v Speaker 9>in the game. It's just got the momentum back for

337
00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:33.400
<v Speaker 9>us and just gave us life. And I think from

338
00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:36.799
<v Speaker 9>pitch one the fans were just engaged, were in it.

339
00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:40.519
<v Speaker 9>It was just I felt that energy and I think

340
00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:42.559
<v Speaker 9>show Hey feeds off that. But that was just a

341
00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:43.079
<v Speaker 9>huge hit.

342
00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:45.000
<v Speaker 14>I think he's like fourteen for his last seventeen of

343
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:46.519
<v Speaker 14>the Russian scoring position. I know you kind of go

344
00:18:46.599 --> 00:18:48.039
<v Speaker 14>up there expecting him to get hit every time, and

345
00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:49.720
<v Speaker 14>that's spot. But does it get a little ridiculous at

346
00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:51.640
<v Speaker 14>that point, Like how frequently he's been doing that lately?

347
00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:56.599
<v Speaker 9>It's been insane, you know how good he's been with

348
00:18:56.680 --> 00:18:58.960
<v Speaker 9>runners in scoring position, and so you know, the key

349
00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:02.599
<v Speaker 9>is just getting opportunities, because yeah, when he does get

350
00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:04.680
<v Speaker 9>those opportunities, you feel like he's going to catch him

351
00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:06.160
<v Speaker 9>in put.

352
00:19:05.960 --> 00:19:07.359
<v Speaker 14>It on the second round, the middle.

353
00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Day resiliency sta in his team's identity.

354
00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:13.240
<v Speaker 15>You just talked about how betsy Freddie was out there,

355
00:19:13.279 --> 00:19:15.440
<v Speaker 15>and also did you expect the stolen base?

356
00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:20.799
<v Speaker 9>He was very gutsy. He just willed himself into the lineup.

357
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:27.839
<v Speaker 9>You know, he was certainly medicated. You know, he's he's

358
00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:29.599
<v Speaker 9>doing whatever he can to get on the field, man,

359
00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:32.599
<v Speaker 9>and and I just really have so much respect for him,

360
00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:35.240
<v Speaker 9>you know, finding a way to play and be there

361
00:19:35.279 --> 00:19:39.559
<v Speaker 9>for his teammates. And I did he swung the bat

362
00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:42.240
<v Speaker 9>really well tonight, obviously with some hits, and I didn't

363
00:19:42.279 --> 00:19:45.039
<v Speaker 9>expect the stolen base. And it's one of those things

364
00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:47.640
<v Speaker 9>you get these guys that are in compete mode and

365
00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:50.599
<v Speaker 9>they just don't know anything else. So I was just

366
00:19:50.759 --> 00:19:54.880
<v Speaker 9>grateful he survived that that. I don't know if it

367
00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:57.759
<v Speaker 9>was a slide or it was a collision with the bag,

368
00:19:57.799 --> 00:19:58.519
<v Speaker 9>I don't know what it was.

369
00:19:59.599 --> 00:20:02.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure that made Dave Roberts very nervous, as it

370
00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:07.200
<v Speaker 2>made fifty thousand plus very nervous. Freddie Freeman stealing second

371
00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:09.720
<v Speaker 2>base and sliding, I mean, come on, you don't want that,

372
00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:13.079
<v Speaker 2>right ankle going underneath your leg and then all of a.

373
00:20:13.079 --> 00:20:17.000
<v Speaker 3>Sudden, it's a Donzo for the rest of the series.

374
00:20:17.079 --> 00:20:20.279
<v Speaker 2>But luckily Freddy survived it and everybody was watching him

375
00:20:20.279 --> 00:20:22.240
<v Speaker 2>as he went back to the dugout when that inning

376
00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:25.599
<v Speaker 2>was over. Speaking of show Hey Otani and runners in

377
00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:30.279
<v Speaker 2>scoring position, it bears repeating because Otani in his last

378
00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:34.200
<v Speaker 2>eleven games with runners in scoring position is fourteen for

379
00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:39.319
<v Speaker 2>seventeen with six home runs and twenty two RBIs. I mean,

380
00:20:39.480 --> 00:20:42.839
<v Speaker 2>he is on another level right now, and that's why

381
00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:46.240
<v Speaker 2>I felt like coming into this series he was not

382
00:20:46.400 --> 00:20:50.000
<v Speaker 2>getting enough credit. The Dodgers were not getting enough credit.

383
00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:53.160
<v Speaker 2>And I know the Padres are a really good team,

384
00:20:53.319 --> 00:20:56.000
<v Speaker 2>no doubt about it, but the Dodgers are a very

385
00:20:56.039 --> 00:20:59.319
<v Speaker 2>good team as well. In fact, with the Padres having

386
00:20:59.400 --> 00:21:03.400
<v Speaker 2>the best record since the All Star Break, they still

387
00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:06.920
<v Speaker 2>were not able to catch the Dodgers, who finished with

388
00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:10.480
<v Speaker 2>the best record in baseball. And going back to kind

389
00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:16.000
<v Speaker 2>of the cat and mouse game between the Padres and Otani, specifically,

390
00:21:16.759 --> 00:21:20.200
<v Speaker 2>you go back to hearing Sandy Kofax being asked questions

391
00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:23.279
<v Speaker 2>about how did you get Willie Mays out, how did

392
00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:27.200
<v Speaker 2>you get Hank Aaron out? Sandy Kofax, who was here tonight,

393
00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:31.079
<v Speaker 2>would say, I couldn't get those guys out.

394
00:21:31.119 --> 00:21:32.519
<v Speaker 3>They were really good hitters.

395
00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:36.680
<v Speaker 2>The way I navigated those hitters was by keeping the

396
00:21:36.839 --> 00:21:39.720
<v Speaker 2>hitters in front of them off the bases.

397
00:21:40.319 --> 00:21:42.759
<v Speaker 3>And that is the biggest fear.

398
00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:46.599
<v Speaker 2>For Mike Shilt and the Padres. When shoe Hey Otani

399
00:21:46.720 --> 00:21:50.039
<v Speaker 2>comes to the plate, they don't want anybody on bass.

400
00:21:50.480 --> 00:21:54.240
<v Speaker 2>They know Otani's on a different level. They know Otani

401
00:21:54.559 --> 00:21:57.799
<v Speaker 2>is one of, if not the best hitter in baseball

402
00:21:57.960 --> 00:22:01.039
<v Speaker 2>right now. Going back to last week, what really hurt

403
00:22:01.119 --> 00:22:04.759
<v Speaker 2>the Padres was the bottom of the Dodgers order getting

404
00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:08.400
<v Speaker 2>on base, flipping the lineup and having men on base,

405
00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:11.000
<v Speaker 2>whether it's one or two or three guys on base.

406
00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:14.720
<v Speaker 2>When Otani came to the plate, That's what did Dylan

407
00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:17.920
<v Speaker 2>season in the second inning. That's what did him in

408
00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:19.920
<v Speaker 2>to come out of the game in the fourth inning,

409
00:22:20.079 --> 00:22:23.000
<v Speaker 2>because if you look at what took place in that

410
00:22:23.200 --> 00:22:27.640
<v Speaker 2>second inning, Will Smith lead off walk, Gavin Lux base hit,

411
00:22:28.160 --> 00:22:31.400
<v Speaker 2>then he gets Tommy Edmonds striking him out, Miguel Rojas

412
00:22:31.559 --> 00:22:36.440
<v Speaker 2>grounds out to second base. Then you still have two

413
00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:39.799
<v Speaker 2>men on with Otani at the plate, runners at first

414
00:22:39.880 --> 00:22:43.960
<v Speaker 2>and second with two out. That's not what is ideal

415
00:22:44.079 --> 00:22:47.119
<v Speaker 2>for the Padres. And in the fourth inning, same thing

416
00:22:47.319 --> 00:22:48.160
<v Speaker 2>Tommy Edmund.

417
00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:49.920
<v Speaker 3>I can't say it enough.

418
00:22:50.160 --> 00:22:53.839
<v Speaker 2>What a brilliant baseball play for him from the left

419
00:22:53.920 --> 00:22:56.519
<v Speaker 2>side of the plate where he's hitting two hundred to

420
00:22:56.720 --> 00:22:59.839
<v Speaker 2>lay down a bunt for a base hit, one out

421
00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:03.720
<v Speaker 2>Edmund at first, Rojas base it over the shortstop. So

422
00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:06.640
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden, now you got runners on base.

423
00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:10.400
<v Speaker 2>There's pressure on and show he Otani's coming to the

424
00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:11.880
<v Speaker 2>plate with one out.

425
00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:15.880
<v Speaker 3>That is not ideal for the Padres. And that's something

426
00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:16.440
<v Speaker 3>to keep.

427
00:23:16.319 --> 00:23:19.319
<v Speaker 2>An eye on as this series moves forward and the

428
00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:23.559
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers roll on through October. Can the bottom of the

429
00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:26.440
<v Speaker 2>order get on base to put on a lot of

430
00:23:26.519 --> 00:23:30.200
<v Speaker 2>pressure on the opponent? Tonight, the seven eight nine hitters

431
00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:34.359
<v Speaker 2>are combined five for twelve, eight, six, six, nine, seven,

432
00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:38.160
<v Speaker 2>two five seventy is the phone number. Let's go out

433
00:23:38.240 --> 00:23:42.079
<v Speaker 2>to father, Gary and Burbank. You're on Dodger Talk live

434
00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:43.319
<v Speaker 2>from Dodger Stadium.

435
00:23:43.400 --> 00:23:45.400
<v Speaker 3>Hi, Father, Hey Dave.

436
00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:48.200
<v Speaker 11>You gotta know something, man, You're really good at what

437
00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:51.000
<v Speaker 11>you do. You know that You've you said everything I.

438
00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:52.640
<v Speaker 16>Wanted to say, So I don't know what else there's

439
00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:52.960
<v Speaker 16>to say.

440
00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:54.359
<v Speaker 7>You've got fans that say it.

441
00:23:54.599 --> 00:23:56.559
<v Speaker 3>I don't have God on my side like you have.

442
00:23:56.880 --> 00:23:58.039
<v Speaker 3>Come on, if you say.

443
00:23:57.920 --> 00:23:58.880
<v Speaker 8>It's a little.

444
00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:02.559
<v Speaker 11>Tommy Lissorta said that God was a Dodger fan. So

445
00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:03.119
<v Speaker 11>we're set.

446
00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:05.839
<v Speaker 5>But Dave, I want to tell you that I noticed

447
00:24:05.920 --> 00:24:06.599
<v Speaker 5>what you said.

448
00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:07.759
<v Speaker 17>The Dodgers are.

449
00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:11.400
<v Speaker 11>Playing small ball. I was watching baseball tonight. I was

450
00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:14.799
<v Speaker 11>watching guys do things because they love the game, not

451
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:19.079
<v Speaker 11>because like they felt obligated, but they were like they

452
00:24:19.119 --> 00:24:22.200
<v Speaker 11>were doing things to win, and it was amazing to see.

453
00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:23.920
<v Speaker 11>And I think that the fans picked up on that,

454
00:24:24.319 --> 00:24:26.160
<v Speaker 11>and I think that we're good. I just have one

455
00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:28.119
<v Speaker 11>question for you, Dave. One question.

456
00:24:28.559 --> 00:24:28.839
<v Speaker 3>Geez.

457
00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:31.200
<v Speaker 11>You said that the last time the Dodgers won a

458
00:24:31.240 --> 00:24:33.559
<v Speaker 11>home game in the postseason was in twenty twenty two.

459
00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:36.599
<v Speaker 11>We know the outcome of what happened in twenty twenty two, right,

460
00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:39.799
<v Speaker 11>So give me some hope. I give people hope every day.

461
00:24:40.200 --> 00:24:41.880
<v Speaker 11>Give us some hope that the Dodgers are going to

462
00:24:42.359 --> 00:24:43.839
<v Speaker 11>finish the series off and move on.

463
00:24:44.440 --> 00:24:46.559
<v Speaker 3>All right. Well, Number one, it's not just the first

464
00:24:46.640 --> 00:24:48.240
<v Speaker 3>home victory. It's the first.

465
00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:52.319
<v Speaker 2>Playoff victory period since Game one of the twenty twenty

466
00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:56.359
<v Speaker 2>two NLDS. Here's your hope, Father Gary. His name sho

467
00:24:56.519 --> 00:24:59.640
<v Speaker 2>hey Otani. If you saw what he did tonight, he

468
00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:03.920
<v Speaker 2>ready and up to the task to carry the Dodgers

469
00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:05.240
<v Speaker 2>past the padres.

470
00:25:05.400 --> 00:25:07.759
<v Speaker 11>Trust me, I can't wait, Dave.

471
00:25:08.079 --> 00:25:12.279
<v Speaker 3>This is a love offers on his back. That's what

472
00:25:12.440 --> 00:25:12.759
<v Speaker 3>you saw.

473
00:25:12.920 --> 00:25:14.680
<v Speaker 10>Let's carry Let's go.

474
00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:17.200
<v Speaker 11>Let's let him carry us. Let's get across that finish

475
00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:19.720
<v Speaker 11>lineal let's do it. We were at the Greek Fest tonight.

476
00:25:19.799 --> 00:25:20.599
<v Speaker 7>We were watching it.

477
00:25:20.920 --> 00:25:24.599
<v Speaker 11>We were going bananas. It was an awesome, awesome atmosphere.

478
00:25:25.079 --> 00:25:27.519
<v Speaker 11>I can't imagine what Dodger Stadium was like. But man,

479
00:25:28.119 --> 00:25:30.680
<v Speaker 11>keep up the good work, Dave. Let's bring this one home.

480
00:25:31.000 --> 00:25:33.079
<v Speaker 11>Twenty twenty fourth time for the Dodgers to win the

481
00:25:33.119 --> 00:25:33.720
<v Speaker 11>World Series.

482
00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:34.200
<v Speaker 18>Let's go.

483
00:25:34.440 --> 00:25:35.079
<v Speaker 11>God bless it.

484
00:25:35.240 --> 00:25:38.119
<v Speaker 2>Good night, all right, thank you so much. Appreciate the

485
00:25:38.200 --> 00:25:41.880
<v Speaker 2>phone call. Let's go out to Bakersfield. Rob, You're on

486
00:25:42.039 --> 00:25:42.680
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Talk.

487
00:25:42.759 --> 00:25:45.079
<v Speaker 17>How you doing, Rob, Machi bad DV?

488
00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:46.480
<v Speaker 13>How are you tonight?

489
00:25:46.680 --> 00:25:49.400
<v Speaker 18>That's what I want to know, because I was actually

490
00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:53.240
<v Speaker 18>I was telling the screen and then I do play

491
00:25:53.319 --> 00:25:56.480
<v Speaker 18>by play for bakers from college football, and I'm doing

492
00:25:56.519 --> 00:25:59.240
<v Speaker 18>play by play as I'm playing at El Camino down

493
00:25:59.319 --> 00:26:02.880
<v Speaker 18>in Torrens and watching the game on the.

494
00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:05.279
<v Speaker 13>Phone, and a couple of things were happening. We had

495
00:26:05.400 --> 00:26:09.559
<v Speaker 13>high drama all throughout Southern California. Is twenty seven to

496
00:26:09.640 --> 00:26:14.000
<v Speaker 13>twenty six was the final score. But Bakerson College is

497
00:26:14.119 --> 00:26:17.240
<v Speaker 13>down right around the same time the Dodgers are down.

498
00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:21.079
<v Speaker 19>But the stars came out, and the stars came out

499
00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:24.440
<v Speaker 19>on the football field. But the stars came out. And

500
00:26:24.599 --> 00:26:26.880
<v Speaker 19>that's what you were saying. You took the words right

501
00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:28.880
<v Speaker 19>out of my mouth, just like Father Gary was saying.

502
00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:32.000
<v Speaker 19>You're so good at it, and you're already foretelling what

503
00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:35.640
<v Speaker 19>was happening out there. And that was the fact that

504
00:26:35.799 --> 00:26:40.039
<v Speaker 19>we got these guys in place to shine. Yes, I

505
00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:43.559
<v Speaker 19>love the twenty seventeen team. I love the twenty eighteen.

506
00:26:43.319 --> 00:26:46.640
<v Speaker 13>Team, the twenty twenty team in the Bubble fantastic teams,

507
00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:51.559
<v Speaker 13>but this team does something a little bit different. Joe Otani,

508
00:26:51.680 --> 00:26:58.559
<v Speaker 13>Kayoscar Hernandez, fantastic ballplayers, wonderful superstars with that bullpen, the defense,

509
00:26:58.880 --> 00:27:02.319
<v Speaker 13>guys like Miggy Rowe, Tommy Edmond that are doing the

510
00:27:02.440 --> 00:27:05.279
<v Speaker 13>little things to be able to make a difference. I

511
00:27:05.359 --> 00:27:09.759
<v Speaker 13>think that that's what really is the difference between those

512
00:27:09.839 --> 00:27:12.079
<v Speaker 13>teams have passed and what we're seeing right now.

513
00:27:12.559 --> 00:27:14.279
<v Speaker 2>Well, I don't know about all that. All I know

514
00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:16.680
<v Speaker 2>is about the last two years. And I just hadn't

515
00:27:16.720 --> 00:27:20.519
<v Speaker 2>seen the fight or the care to come back from.

516
00:27:20.519 --> 00:27:22.839
<v Speaker 3>You know, being down in the game or being down

517
00:27:22.920 --> 00:27:23.720
<v Speaker 3>in the series.

518
00:27:24.039 --> 00:27:27.079
<v Speaker 2>And we saw that tonight and it spoke volumes and

519
00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:28.920
<v Speaker 2>like I said, and thank you for the phone call,

520
00:27:29.440 --> 00:27:32.640
<v Speaker 2>Shohei Otani wants to put the Dodgers on his back.

521
00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:33.559
<v Speaker 8>He did it.

522
00:27:34.000 --> 00:27:35.960
<v Speaker 2>He's done it for the last two weeks. He did

523
00:27:36.039 --> 00:27:40.000
<v Speaker 2>it again tonight. Freddie Freeman. Most guys would not even

524
00:27:40.119 --> 00:27:43.279
<v Speaker 2>be playing, but this guy wanted to be in the

525
00:27:43.319 --> 00:27:44.119
<v Speaker 2>starting lineup.

526
00:27:44.200 --> 00:27:45.400
<v Speaker 3>He wanted to be out there.

527
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:48.359
<v Speaker 2>I had players tell me during the last road trip

528
00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:51.319
<v Speaker 2>of the regular season his right ankle would have to

529
00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:54.000
<v Speaker 2>be sawed off for him to not play tonight. And

530
00:27:54.640 --> 00:27:57.799
<v Speaker 2>he played even better than I thought he did. I mean,

531
00:27:57.839 --> 00:27:59.480
<v Speaker 2>he moved around a better than I.

532
00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:02.200
<v Speaker 3>Thought he would. There was a ground ball white a

533
00:28:02.359 --> 00:28:02.880
<v Speaker 3>first in.

534
00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:05.480
<v Speaker 2>The first inning that I thought that if he was

535
00:28:05.519 --> 00:28:07.559
<v Speaker 2>one hundred percent he would have been able to make

536
00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:10.000
<v Speaker 2>a play on. But outside of that, I mean, he

537
00:28:10.160 --> 00:28:12.680
<v Speaker 2>was outstanding and when you have a guy like Freddie

538
00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:15.640
<v Speaker 2>Freeman going out there to play on a bad ankle,

539
00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:18.720
<v Speaker 2>finding a way to gut it out to get out there,

540
00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:21.599
<v Speaker 2>sends a message to the rest of the team. Eight

541
00:28:21.720 --> 00:28:24.559
<v Speaker 2>six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the

542
00:28:24.640 --> 00:28:28.039
<v Speaker 2>phone number. Dodgers beat the Padres seven to five in

543
00:28:28.160 --> 00:28:29.680
<v Speaker 2>Game one of the NLDS.

544
00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:33.519
<v Speaker 3>Jeff and Sierra Madre, you're on Dodger Talk. How you doing, Jeff?

545
00:28:34.720 --> 00:28:38.839
<v Speaker 10>Hey, dB, love you man, Thank you for the call. Hey,

546
00:28:39.000 --> 00:28:43.279
<v Speaker 10>I just want to talk rivalries. You know, historically it's

547
00:28:43.359 --> 00:28:47.000
<v Speaker 10>been the Giants right there, They're the nemesis from the North.

548
00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:51.359
<v Speaker 10>But these Podres really hate us. What do you think

549
00:28:51.400 --> 00:28:54.200
<v Speaker 10>about the rivalry? We're like, who's well? I used the

550
00:28:54.240 --> 00:28:54.720
<v Speaker 10>biggest thought.

551
00:28:54.759 --> 00:28:58.279
<v Speaker 2>I used this comparison yesterday on The Petros and Money Show.

552
00:28:59.119 --> 00:29:02.359
<v Speaker 2>Remember when the said Sacramento Kings were a thorn in

553
00:29:02.440 --> 00:29:04.920
<v Speaker 2>the Lakers side for about four years.

554
00:29:05.200 --> 00:29:06.319
<v Speaker 3>They would always, you know.

555
00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:08.880
<v Speaker 2>Feel like they were on the Lakers level from two

556
00:29:09.000 --> 00:29:12.400
<v Speaker 2>thousand to two thousand and four. The Shaq Kobe Lakers

557
00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:15.240
<v Speaker 2>and I played it yesterday and I felt like the

558
00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:19.039
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers needed to have that Shaquille O'Neal attitude that he

559
00:29:19.240 --> 00:29:23.920
<v Speaker 2>had towards the Sacramento Queens. That's the way the Dodgers

560
00:29:24.039 --> 00:29:26.440
<v Speaker 2>needed to approach this series, and we saw it tonight.

561
00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:31.440
<v Speaker 2>The padres our arrival during this period of time for

562
00:29:31.599 --> 00:29:34.240
<v Speaker 2>about four years, are they going to be the Giants

563
00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:35.000
<v Speaker 2>of the Cardinals?

564
00:29:35.319 --> 00:29:36.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't think so.

565
00:29:36.799 --> 00:29:40.640
<v Speaker 2>That's the best comparison I could make Lakers Sacramento Kings

566
00:29:40.680 --> 00:29:43.240
<v Speaker 2>for about a four year period. That's the way the

567
00:29:43.359 --> 00:29:46.839
<v Speaker 2>Padres are trying to bow up to the Dodgers. And

568
00:29:47.079 --> 00:29:50.400
<v Speaker 2>they've done something the Sacramento Kings could not do, and

569
00:29:50.519 --> 00:29:53.839
<v Speaker 2>that's beat the Dodgers in a playoff series. So I

570
00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:57.000
<v Speaker 2>think the Dodgers remember that and they don't want that

571
00:29:57.119 --> 00:29:59.359
<v Speaker 2>to happen again. From the guys that were still.

572
00:29:59.160 --> 00:29:59.759
<v Speaker 3>On that team.

573
00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:01.119
<v Speaker 8>Awesome.

574
00:30:01.319 --> 00:30:05.079
<v Speaker 10>Well that's great news, great analogy, and and thank you.

575
00:30:05.359 --> 00:30:07.519
<v Speaker 10>Although Buster Posey, what do you think about the bust

576
00:30:07.559 --> 00:30:10.200
<v Speaker 10>and Pope Posey higher for the Giants?

577
00:30:10.279 --> 00:30:12.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm nuts. I think I care about Buster Posey.

578
00:30:13.680 --> 00:30:17.119
<v Speaker 2>He doesn't have any experience, all right, I'm not not

579
00:30:17.240 --> 00:30:19.720
<v Speaker 2>even on my radar, Jeff, I'm not concerned about that

580
00:30:19.839 --> 00:30:20.160
<v Speaker 2>at all.

581
00:30:20.640 --> 00:30:21.519

00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:52.880
<v Speaker 2>Ken Griffy Junior, Roger Maris Jimmy Fox to hit home

605
00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:57.880
<v Speaker 2>runs in their first career postseason game. Daniels Jewelers is

606
00:31:58.000 --> 00:32:00.680
<v Speaker 2>the official sponsor of the Trip Around on the Diamond.

607
00:32:01.039 --> 00:32:05.039
<v Speaker 2>Stop by any Daniel's location and say home run for

608
00:32:05.119 --> 00:32:08.920
<v Speaker 2>your free team bracelet and fifty dollars gift card toward

609
00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:11.039
<v Speaker 2>any purchase of ninety nine.

610
00:32:10.960 --> 00:32:11.720
<v Speaker 3>Dollars or more.

611
00:32:12.240 --> 00:32:16.240
<v Speaker 2>Daniel's Jewelers own the Dream. Eight six six nine, eight

612
00:32:16.359 --> 00:32:19.359
<v Speaker 2>seven two five seventy is the phone number. We'll try

613
00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:21.559
<v Speaker 2>to get to all of your calls, and we'll also

614
00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:24.440
<v Speaker 2>hear from tomorrow's starter, Jack Flaherty.

615
00:32:24.559 --> 00:32:28.720
<v Speaker 1>But first it's time to go around the Horn with

616
00:32:28.920 --> 00:32:29.880
<v Speaker 1>Jose Mota.

617
00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:31.559
<v Speaker 3>Jose Mota.

618
00:32:31.720 --> 00:32:35.720
<v Speaker 2>Yesterday on Petros and Money, Andrew Friedman was urging Dodger

619
00:32:35.839 --> 00:32:39.319
<v Speaker 2>fans to make this a hostile environment. It felt like

620
00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:43.200
<v Speaker 2>with Otani's three run home run, he brought this stadium

621
00:32:43.279 --> 00:32:46.400
<v Speaker 2>to life, and the padres certainly were rattled after that.

622
00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:50.599
<v Speaker 5>Oh Dave, there's no doubt that when you look at

623
00:32:50.720 --> 00:32:52.880
<v Speaker 5>a way in which when you go into a hostile

624
00:32:53.039 --> 00:32:57.160
<v Speaker 5>environment on the road to quiet the fans, you do

625
00:32:57.240 --> 00:32:59.559
<v Speaker 5>it with one swing, with one impact, and you do

626
00:32:59.640 --> 00:33:03.400
<v Speaker 5>it with on same thing at home to get another

627
00:33:03.480 --> 00:33:05.119
<v Speaker 5>team out of their game a little bit more and

628
00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:07.599
<v Speaker 5>getting up the rails a little bit more. Well, Thus

629
00:33:07.680 --> 00:33:09.640
<v Speaker 5>what we have to do with who better than Shohale

630
00:33:09.680 --> 00:33:12.559
<v Speaker 5>Touney first time after what eight hundred and seventy five

631
00:33:12.640 --> 00:33:15.400
<v Speaker 5>games in his career have not played a playoff game.

632
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:18.880
<v Speaker 5>And I was really hoping Dave that that opportunities he

633
00:33:19.000 --> 00:33:20.759
<v Speaker 5>is going to get today at least the Powers are

634
00:33:20.759 --> 00:33:23.400
<v Speaker 5>going to challenge him, and they're gonna be big chances

635
00:33:23.440 --> 00:33:25.440
<v Speaker 5>for the Duties to make an impact. And because I

636
00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:27.480
<v Speaker 5>want to see I want to see him get tested

637
00:33:27.559 --> 00:33:29.200
<v Speaker 5>right away and see what kind of sway he brings,

638
00:33:29.680 --> 00:33:31.559
<v Speaker 5>which club he brings out of that bag. And I

639
00:33:31.640 --> 00:33:34.000
<v Speaker 5>think he answered that bill quite quickly here today.

640
00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:36.960
<v Speaker 2>I thought the big play in the fourth inning was

641
00:33:37.079 --> 00:33:40.319
<v Speaker 2>Tommy Edmond laying down that bunt because they were giving

642
00:33:40.359 --> 00:33:42.960
<v Speaker 2>it to him on the third base line. Did you

643
00:33:43.039 --> 00:33:45.599
<v Speaker 2>feel like that was as important as anything else that

644
00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:47.160
<v Speaker 2>took place in that fourth inning.

645
00:33:48.000 --> 00:33:49.759
<v Speaker 5>There's a lot of things that that's one of them,

646
00:33:49.839 --> 00:33:53.759
<v Speaker 5>for sure. How many times have we seen teams practice

647
00:33:53.799 --> 00:33:55.559
<v Speaker 5>this and say, hey, we've got to go out there

648
00:33:55.599 --> 00:33:57.079
<v Speaker 5>if they're giving it to you and you're struggling to

649
00:33:57.119 --> 00:33:58.000
<v Speaker 5>get guys on base.

650
00:33:59.039 --> 00:34:01.599
<v Speaker 12>It's a free base it why not use it?

651
00:34:01.640 --> 00:34:04.759
<v Speaker 5>But it takes as you were talking about Tommy Edmon,

652
00:34:05.160 --> 00:34:08.280
<v Speaker 5>somebody with a lot of confidence number one, well, the

653
00:34:08.360 --> 00:34:10.760
<v Speaker 5>high base like Q, they can really slow the game

654
00:34:10.840 --> 00:34:13.840
<v Speaker 5>down and said, this game or the impact of this game,

655
00:34:13.920 --> 00:34:15.840
<v Speaker 5>and you know, this platform is not going to slow

656
00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:17.639
<v Speaker 5>me down from doing what I need to do, which

657
00:34:17.679 --> 00:34:20.559
<v Speaker 5>is get on base to really pull a lot of pressure.

658
00:34:20.599 --> 00:34:23.119
<v Speaker 5>A guy like Dylan Cecil was rattled himself because he

659
00:34:23.239 --> 00:34:26.679
<v Speaker 5>saw at one point where the entire infield was going

660
00:34:26.719 --> 00:34:28.079
<v Speaker 5>out there going, wait a minute, we got to go

661
00:34:28.119 --> 00:34:29.880
<v Speaker 5>and talk to this guy because he's losing it right now.

662
00:34:30.920 --> 00:34:33.559
<v Speaker 5>But Tommy Edman has shown the fact that he's a

663
00:34:33.920 --> 00:34:36.960
<v Speaker 5>he's a sinking ball player that can make an impact

664
00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:38.920
<v Speaker 5>for you, make a difference so many ways. Now, Dave,

665
00:34:38.920 --> 00:34:42.079
<v Speaker 5>if here's another bat, how about Tommy Edman the switch

666
00:34:42.159 --> 00:34:46.400
<v Speaker 5>hitter batting from the right side against a Arty And

667
00:34:46.519 --> 00:34:48.800
<v Speaker 5>people didn't pay attention to that. But I'm going it

668
00:34:48.880 --> 00:34:50.360
<v Speaker 5>takes a lot of gus for you to go, you

669
00:34:50.440 --> 00:34:52.840
<v Speaker 5>know what, I don't feel comfortable with this guy on

670
00:34:52.960 --> 00:34:54.920
<v Speaker 5>the mound throwing all the splitters, my swing is not

671
00:34:54.960 --> 00:34:57.199
<v Speaker 5>where it needs to be from the left side. Even

672
00:34:57.280 --> 00:34:59.920
<v Speaker 5>though he does not get the RBI, he put the

673
00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:02.360
<v Speaker 5>ball and play. And what better to do when you're

674
00:35:02.400 --> 00:35:04.840
<v Speaker 5>pressing a team than putting the ball and play. In

675
00:35:04.960 --> 00:35:07.519
<v Speaker 5>all this, the dollar scored on an aerbiom a child.

676
00:35:07.800 --> 00:35:09.159
<v Speaker 5>You talk about the bunds, So there's a lot of

677
00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:12.239
<v Speaker 5>things in which they showed the ability to play baseball

678
00:35:12.719 --> 00:35:14.719
<v Speaker 5>and to have a lot of traffic on the basis,

679
00:35:14.760 --> 00:35:17.079
<v Speaker 5>which is what makes it easier for the guys to

680
00:35:17.239 --> 00:35:19.000
<v Speaker 5>come up to hit, to know that it's not just

681
00:35:19.079 --> 00:35:21.119
<v Speaker 5>going to be about one big swing, but about a

682
00:35:21.199 --> 00:35:23.840
<v Speaker 5>lot of good swings and consistent a bounce. Did throughout

683
00:35:23.840 --> 00:35:24.119
<v Speaker 5>the night?

684
00:35:24.599 --> 00:35:28.280
<v Speaker 2>Did Freddie Freeman exceed your expectations on what he could

685
00:35:28.320 --> 00:35:29.480
<v Speaker 2>do playing.

686
00:35:29.239 --> 00:35:30.599
<v Speaker 3>With that bad right ankle?

687
00:35:31.519 --> 00:35:31.679
<v Speaker 8>Man?

688
00:35:31.760 --> 00:35:33.480
<v Speaker 5>The first thing I said is my dad was sitting

689
00:35:33.519 --> 00:35:35.639
<v Speaker 5>next to me and I tipped my hat. This guy

690
00:35:35.960 --> 00:35:38.880
<v Speaker 5>was in such bad shape. Is a big frame. I mean,

691
00:35:39.000 --> 00:35:40.760
<v Speaker 5>there's a lot of weight on that right ankle his

692
00:35:41.280 --> 00:35:43.880
<v Speaker 5>landing leg, which to me was an advantage because he

693
00:35:43.960 --> 00:35:45.800
<v Speaker 5>doesn't have to push off for that leg. But it's

694
00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:48.400
<v Speaker 5>a soft landing sometimes for a hitter, is the best

695
00:35:48.440 --> 00:35:51.079
<v Speaker 5>thing you can do. And sometimes you teach soft landings

696
00:35:51.079 --> 00:35:53.320
<v Speaker 5>to guys to say, hey, don't jump at the baseball.

697
00:35:53.400 --> 00:35:56.280
<v Speaker 5>Maybe for Freddy it's a good thing, but then to

698
00:35:56.400 --> 00:35:58.480
<v Speaker 5>hear him talk about the stolen base, Dave and say,

699
00:35:58.559 --> 00:36:01.280
<v Speaker 5>this guy's a one six five. How have you heard

700
00:36:01.559 --> 00:36:04.039
<v Speaker 5>somebody who was barely playing say I need to steal

701
00:36:04.079 --> 00:36:06.440
<v Speaker 5>that base because the information I got is that we

702
00:36:06.599 --> 00:36:08.719
<v Speaker 5>need to have that base and I'm gonna beat it. No,

703
00:36:09.480 --> 00:36:12.440
<v Speaker 5>it takes a thinking player, somebody that really wants to

704
00:36:12.519 --> 00:36:15.760
<v Speaker 5>maximize opportunities and get that potential out of his team

705
00:36:16.159 --> 00:36:17.800
<v Speaker 5>to do that, and a true leader, by the way,

706
00:36:17.840 --> 00:36:19.719
<v Speaker 5>who says, it's not about the pain right now, I

707
00:36:19.840 --> 00:36:21.880
<v Speaker 5>need to be a second base. Guys a one six

708
00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:23.960
<v Speaker 5>ove at on play, there's no reason for me to

709
00:36:23.960 --> 00:36:25.559
<v Speaker 5>stay at first base. And he got there to that

710
00:36:25.599 --> 00:36:26.159
<v Speaker 5>stolen base.

711
00:36:26.800 --> 00:36:28.239
<v Speaker 3>Jose Mode is joining us.

712
00:36:28.320 --> 00:36:31.000
<v Speaker 2>After the Dodgers get a big win in the NLDS,

713
00:36:31.199 --> 00:36:34.559
<v Speaker 2>the first game goes their way seven to five victors

714
00:36:34.639 --> 00:36:38.920
<v Speaker 2>over the Padres. All right, Yoshiyamamoto only goes three innings.

715
00:36:39.000 --> 00:36:42.480
<v Speaker 2>That means Dave Roberts had to navigate basically a bullpen

716
00:36:42.639 --> 00:36:46.960
<v Speaker 2>game to get the last eighteen outs. Everybody is always

717
00:36:47.039 --> 00:36:50.079
<v Speaker 2>so quick to criticize Dave, but man, what a managing

718
00:36:50.239 --> 00:36:53.159
<v Speaker 2>job he did tonight. Jose to be able to navigate

719
00:36:53.639 --> 00:36:57.880
<v Speaker 2>his bullpen through eighteen outs, including Blake Trining getting out

720
00:36:57.960 --> 00:37:01.280
<v Speaker 2>there for a five out save with Henley Jansen in

721
00:37:01.400 --> 00:37:04.840
<v Speaker 2>the house, the king of doing that for many years

722
00:37:04.960 --> 00:37:07.199
<v Speaker 2>as the old time saves leader with the Dodgers.

723
00:37:07.639 --> 00:37:11.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, ask Kelly Jensen about how quickly playoff games turned

724
00:37:11.039 --> 00:37:14.760
<v Speaker 5>into bullpen games. That's exactly what we saw today, Yamamoto.

725
00:37:14.880 --> 00:37:16.800
<v Speaker 5>My quick comm is gonna be he needs to be better.

726
00:37:17.360 --> 00:37:19.119
<v Speaker 5>He needs to be better and get off the better

727
00:37:19.159 --> 00:37:21.679
<v Speaker 5>starts because he's not giving the Dodgers right now what

728
00:37:21.840 --> 00:37:23.800
<v Speaker 5>they need. Hopefully he got this one out of the

729
00:37:23.880 --> 00:37:26.920
<v Speaker 5>way and better things are coming by. Dave Roberts knew

730
00:37:26.960 --> 00:37:29.199
<v Speaker 5>that there's some guys that you think about, Okay, how

731
00:37:29.280 --> 00:37:30.920
<v Speaker 5>much can I how long can I go with him?

732
00:37:31.280 --> 00:37:33.639
<v Speaker 5>And you know one thing in the regular season game,

733
00:37:34.079 --> 00:37:35.920
<v Speaker 5>some of those guys when I have been pitching his

734
00:37:36.039 --> 00:37:38.559
<v Speaker 5>second inning or started second inning. But you have no

735
00:37:38.760 --> 00:37:41.440
<v Speaker 5>choice right now but to say, who gives my best

736
00:37:41.480 --> 00:37:43.519
<v Speaker 5>option to get people out? Which part of the lineups

737
00:37:43.559 --> 00:37:46.440
<v Speaker 5>are coming up? And then well, Blake trunning. It's not

738
00:37:46.559 --> 00:37:49.000
<v Speaker 5>about thinking who's going to get to save, is about

739
00:37:49.039 --> 00:37:51.280
<v Speaker 5>saying who can he match up better with and thinking

740
00:37:51.320 --> 00:37:53.960
<v Speaker 5>at the end he is my best option. I do

741
00:37:54.159 --> 00:37:57.440
<v Speaker 5>not need to play matchup lefty Lefty here, but the

742
00:37:57.519 --> 00:37:59.760
<v Speaker 5>guy with the best experience. And that's why he did

743
00:37:59.800 --> 00:38:03.280
<v Speaker 5>a fine job managing today, including one time later in

744
00:38:03.360 --> 00:38:06.440
<v Speaker 5>the game when Dave Roberts almost stopped the game to

745
00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:10.159
<v Speaker 5>position guys and guess what happened then line drive to

746
00:38:10.199 --> 00:38:12.559
<v Speaker 5>the less of Gavin Lux So you know what, there's

747
00:38:12.559 --> 00:38:14.079
<v Speaker 5>a lot of things that went right in which the

748
00:38:14.159 --> 00:38:14.880
<v Speaker 5>mander hell lot to.

749
00:38:14.880 --> 00:38:15.280
<v Speaker 8>Do with too.

750
00:38:15.719 --> 00:38:18.039
<v Speaker 2>All right, Jose Modo, we'll check in with you again

751
00:38:18.079 --> 00:38:21.480
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow night after Game two of the NLDS. The Dodgers

752
00:38:21.559 --> 00:38:25.960
<v Speaker 2>take Game one with a seven to five win. Thanks Jose, alrighty,

753
00:38:25.960 --> 00:38:28.920
<v Speaker 2>good night. There he goes Jose Mota, part of the

754
00:38:28.960 --> 00:38:33.039
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers Spanish radio broadcast with Pepe and Ningez and Fernando

755
00:38:33.199 --> 00:38:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Vealezuela and thinking about Fernando. Hope you're doing well and

756
00:38:38.159 --> 00:38:41.119
<v Speaker 2>we're all thinking about you. Fernando eight six six nine

757
00:38:41.199 --> 00:38:44.159
<v Speaker 2>eight seven two five seventy is the phone number, Like

758
00:38:44.280 --> 00:38:47.039
<v Speaker 2>I mentioned, Kenley Jansen was in the house tonight, Yes

759
00:38:47.159 --> 00:38:49.840
<v Speaker 2>he was, and it was great to see him before

760
00:38:49.960 --> 00:38:54.280
<v Speaker 2>the game. Sandy Kofax was here, Irvin Magic Johnson was

761
00:38:54.360 --> 00:38:58.000
<v Speaker 2>in the house. So uh, it felt like Hollywood, and

762
00:38:58.360 --> 00:39:02.920
<v Speaker 2>it felt like everybody under understood that those players between

763
00:39:03.000 --> 00:39:06.760
<v Speaker 2>the lines needed a lot of energy and support. And

764
00:39:06.960 --> 00:39:11.079
<v Speaker 2>Dodger fans and a sellout crowd setting really brought more

765
00:39:11.239 --> 00:39:15.239
<v Speaker 2>energy tonight fifty three, twenty eight than I have seen

766
00:39:15.400 --> 00:39:17.920
<v Speaker 2>for a home playoff game in quite some time. And

767
00:39:18.480 --> 00:39:21.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, I know the Dodgers have put out great teams,

768
00:39:21.199 --> 00:39:25.000
<v Speaker 2>one hundred win teams, but you cannot take this for granted.

769
00:39:25.079 --> 00:39:27.760
<v Speaker 2>And it felt like the players had the urgency and

770
00:39:27.920 --> 00:39:30.840
<v Speaker 2>the fans that came to the game tonight felt that

771
00:39:31.079 --> 00:39:34.920
<v Speaker 2>same sense of urgency. So kudos to the sellout crowd

772
00:39:35.000 --> 00:39:39.480
<v Speaker 2>for making this home field advantage for the Dodgers. Let's

773
00:39:39.519 --> 00:39:41.760
<v Speaker 2>take a couple of more calls before we hear from

774
00:39:41.840 --> 00:39:46.360
<v Speaker 2>Jack Flaherty. Steve in Tucson, Arizona. You're on Dodger Talk.

775
00:39:46.480 --> 00:39:50.239
<v Speaker 5>Hi, Steve, Hey d that's a going great.

776
00:39:50.400 --> 00:39:51.280
<v Speaker 3>What do you got for us?

777
00:39:52.679 --> 00:39:54.639
<v Speaker 16>I just want to give a shout out to Dave Roberts.

778
00:39:55.440 --> 00:39:59.199
<v Speaker 16>I know you mentioned over the way, the way he

779
00:39:59.519 --> 00:40:01.920
<v Speaker 16>helded the and I was a big you know, I

780
00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:04.039
<v Speaker 16>criticized the line of the pass, but I gotta give

781
00:40:04.079 --> 00:40:06.360
<v Speaker 16>him a shot out tonight. And hey, you do bek

782
00:40:06.719 --> 00:40:07.400
<v Speaker 16>heding that bullpen?

783
00:40:07.960 --> 00:40:10.239
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you do. Good for you, Steve. Thank you for

784
00:40:10.320 --> 00:40:10.960
<v Speaker 3>the phone call.

785
00:40:11.440 --> 00:40:14.159
<v Speaker 2>Everybody would have been very quick to call and say

786
00:40:14.320 --> 00:40:17.480
<v Speaker 2>Dave Roberts did this wrong. He brought in the wrong reliever.

787
00:40:17.960 --> 00:40:21.119
<v Speaker 2>There was nothing that Dave Roberts did tonight, even if

788
00:40:21.159 --> 00:40:24.119
<v Speaker 2>it would have gone the opposite way, that was on

789
00:40:24.360 --> 00:40:27.599
<v Speaker 2>his hands. He did everything he could as a manager

790
00:40:28.159 --> 00:40:30.440
<v Speaker 2>to make the right moves to give the Dodgers a

791
00:40:30.519 --> 00:40:33.400
<v Speaker 2>good chance to win. Let's go out to Richard, who

792
00:40:33.519 --> 00:40:36.960
<v Speaker 2>is at Dodger Stadium tonight. Hi, Richard, you're on Dodger Talk.

793
00:40:38.840 --> 00:40:40.000
<v Speaker 16>What's going on, David?

794
00:40:40.679 --> 00:40:44.199
<v Speaker 17>I you know, I love Otani of course, and I

795
00:40:44.360 --> 00:40:47.760
<v Speaker 17>love Freeman of course. But man, Tommy Edmund has been

796
00:40:47.880 --> 00:40:50.239
<v Speaker 17>such a job for the Dodgers. It's been a real

797
00:40:50.320 --> 00:40:53.159
<v Speaker 17>shot in the arm. Ever since the deadline, you know,

798
00:40:53.239 --> 00:40:57.119
<v Speaker 17>when he was acquired, he's just been just coming through.

799
00:40:57.519 --> 00:41:00.480
<v Speaker 17>Ever since the Arizona series. I've just been really, really

800
00:41:00.559 --> 00:41:04.039
<v Speaker 17>appreciative of what he's done and how he's come through

801
00:41:04.079 --> 00:41:07.360
<v Speaker 17>for us. And you know, I'm not here to talk

802
00:41:07.360 --> 00:41:10.440
<v Speaker 17>about Buster Posey, you know, like I'm here to and

803
00:41:10.519 --> 00:41:13.119
<v Speaker 17>what they're doing. You know, I'm here to talk about

804
00:41:13.119 --> 00:41:16.760
<v Speaker 17>you know, Dave Roberts, Headman Otani. It was just it

805
00:41:16.880 --> 00:41:18.760
<v Speaker 17>was real great energy. Like you said, the fans really

806
00:41:18.800 --> 00:41:20.639
<v Speaker 17>brought it. You know, I was there. You know, everyone

807
00:41:20.800 --> 00:41:22.679
<v Speaker 17>was just having a great time. Everyone was real friendly.

808
00:41:23.039 --> 00:41:25.159
<v Speaker 17>It was just a real great vibe and everyone knows

809
00:41:25.159 --> 00:41:26.320
<v Speaker 17>that it was a good win tonight. But you know,

810
00:41:26.360 --> 00:41:27.840
<v Speaker 17>we still got a lot more to do. We still

811
00:41:27.880 --> 00:41:30.599
<v Speaker 17>got some more wins on the schedule that we're hoping

812
00:41:30.639 --> 00:41:32.920
<v Speaker 17>to pull through. And that's what we're gonna be here for,

813
00:41:33.000 --> 00:41:34.639
<v Speaker 17>and that's what we're gonna keep rooting for. Thanks a

814
00:41:34.639 --> 00:41:35.840
<v Speaker 17>lot for taking my call, no.

815
00:41:36.000 --> 00:41:38.360
<v Speaker 2>Problem, Richard, Thank you for the phone call. Eight six

816
00:41:38.480 --> 00:41:41.519
<v Speaker 2>six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number.

817
00:41:42.000 --> 00:41:45.239
<v Speaker 2>One win doesn't win a series, that's true. But the

818
00:41:45.360 --> 00:41:48.199
<v Speaker 2>way the Dodgers came back to win this game is

819
00:41:48.440 --> 00:41:52.199
<v Speaker 2>huge for their psyche and their confidence and also put

820
00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:56.599
<v Speaker 2>some doubt in that Padres clubhouse because everything has gone

821
00:41:56.679 --> 00:41:59.360
<v Speaker 2>right for them and I know they beat the Dodgers

822
00:41:59.440 --> 00:42:02.719
<v Speaker 2>eight out of thirteen times during the regular season, but

823
00:42:02.880 --> 00:42:06.000
<v Speaker 2>when it's counted the last two weeks, all of a sudden,

824
00:42:06.119 --> 00:42:09.280
<v Speaker 2>now the Dodgers have won three of the last four

825
00:42:09.840 --> 00:42:13.639
<v Speaker 2>against the San Diego Padres. The Dodgers did this tonight

826
00:42:13.719 --> 00:42:18.079
<v Speaker 2>with Clayton Kershaw and Joe Kelly off their NLDS roster.

827
00:42:18.599 --> 00:42:21.400
<v Speaker 2>Dave Roberts said before the game today that not only

828
00:42:21.559 --> 00:42:24.719
<v Speaker 2>is Kershaw not going to be on the NLDS roster,

829
00:42:24.960 --> 00:42:28.760
<v Speaker 2>but his season is over because his left foot has

830
00:42:28.880 --> 00:42:32.960
<v Speaker 2>not gotten better. In fact, it's gone backwards. So unfortunately

831
00:42:33.119 --> 00:42:36.440
<v Speaker 2>for Kershaw, his season is over. But he was top

832
00:42:36.559 --> 00:42:40.400
<v Speaker 2>step the entire game, rooting on his team. And here's

833
00:42:40.440 --> 00:42:42.840
<v Speaker 2>what Clayton had to say before the game about the

834
00:42:42.880 --> 00:42:46.719
<v Speaker 2>way unfortunately things have ended for him this season.

835
00:42:47.920 --> 00:42:50.199
<v Speaker 20>It was just getting It was getting pretty mentally exhausting

836
00:42:50.360 --> 00:42:54.280
<v Speaker 20>to continue to pitch, try to pitch, and it just

837
00:42:54.360 --> 00:42:57.400
<v Speaker 20>kept hurting. So I got another MRI and I made

838
00:42:57.440 --> 00:43:01.239
<v Speaker 20>it worse. So there's there's no point at this point

839
00:43:01.280 --> 00:43:06.199
<v Speaker 20>to keep going. And it's unfortunate. I mean, obviously super frustrated, but.

840
00:43:07.960 --> 00:43:08.599
<v Speaker 16>Yeah, that's really it.

841
00:43:09.320 --> 00:43:10.719
<v Speaker 20>It's not getting better, so I can't.

842
00:43:10.559 --> 00:43:12.639
<v Speaker 3>Pitch maybe you need some surgery.

843
00:43:12.960 --> 00:43:16.400
<v Speaker 20>It's definitely in the conversation. I haven't solidified anything yet,

844
00:43:16.639 --> 00:43:19.119
<v Speaker 20>but there's a chance that it might need to fix it.

845
00:43:19.280 --> 00:43:23.440
<v Speaker 15>Yeah, when will you reflect on what your future is

846
00:43:23.480 --> 00:43:26.000
<v Speaker 15>as far as wanting to try to come back again

847
00:43:26.119 --> 00:43:27.840
<v Speaker 15>after another surgery.

848
00:43:28.159 --> 00:43:29.800
<v Speaker 20>Yeah, we'll talk about it after the season. You know,

849
00:43:29.880 --> 00:43:32.119
<v Speaker 20>I think right now focus should be trying to beat

850
00:43:32.119 --> 00:43:34.719
<v Speaker 20>the Padres and that's what you know. I'm gonna try

851
00:43:34.719 --> 00:43:37.360
<v Speaker 20>and be a good cheerleader as best I can and

852
00:43:37.440 --> 00:43:40.320
<v Speaker 20>that's that's it. But yeah, we'll think about it an offseason.

853
00:43:40.440 --> 00:43:43.760
<v Speaker 20>He'll come quick and yeah, just decide.

854
00:43:43.760 --> 00:43:43.880
<v Speaker 9>Then.

855
00:43:44.440 --> 00:43:47.599
<v Speaker 2>All right, there's Clayton Kershaw, who tried to do everything

856
00:43:47.679 --> 00:43:51.159
<v Speaker 2>in his power to try to get over this unfortunate injury.

857
00:43:51.719 --> 00:43:55.280
<v Speaker 2>His left foot is push off foot that just hasn't cooperated.

858
00:43:55.400 --> 00:43:58.320
<v Speaker 2>And his season is over and I really do hope

859
00:43:58.360 --> 00:44:01.119
<v Speaker 2>he comes back next year for the because he means

860
00:44:01.159 --> 00:44:03.480
<v Speaker 2>a lot. He means a lot just in the whole

861
00:44:03.960 --> 00:44:07.039
<v Speaker 2>vibe of that clubhouse and a guy that everybody respects

862
00:44:07.480 --> 00:44:11.159
<v Speaker 2>when he speaks, and just his work ethic is incredible

863
00:44:11.199 --> 00:44:14.039
<v Speaker 2>as well, even at this stage of his career. Also,

864
00:44:14.239 --> 00:44:18.239
<v Speaker 2>Joe Kelly was left off the NLDS roster because during

865
00:44:18.360 --> 00:44:21.079
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers week off, he was throwing in a simulated

866
00:44:21.159 --> 00:44:24.199
<v Speaker 2>game and injured his shoulder. Dave Roberts said, it's a

867
00:44:24.280 --> 00:44:27.400
<v Speaker 2>similar injury to what Bruce star Gratoro had which ended

868
00:44:27.480 --> 00:44:28.079
<v Speaker 2>his season.

869
00:44:28.280 --> 00:44:29.800
<v Speaker 3>So unfortunately for.

870
00:44:29.920 --> 00:44:32.599
<v Speaker 2>Joe, who was looking good the last couple of weeks,

871
00:44:32.719 --> 00:44:36.039
<v Speaker 2>another injury keeps him off the playoff rosters.

872
00:44:36.159 --> 00:44:38.199
<v Speaker 3>So Joe Kelly also.

873
00:44:38.079 --> 00:44:41.320
<v Speaker 2>Hanging out in that bullpen being there as a support

874
00:44:41.440 --> 00:44:44.480
<v Speaker 2>system to all those relievers, and certainly they did a

875
00:44:44.519 --> 00:44:48.400
<v Speaker 2>great job tonight, from Ryan Brazier to Alex Vesia, to

876
00:44:48.519 --> 00:44:52.000
<v Speaker 2>Evan Phillips to Michael Kopek and Blake Trining with the

877
00:44:52.119 --> 00:44:55.519
<v Speaker 2>five out save as the Dodgers beat the Padres tonight

878
00:44:55.920 --> 00:44:58.440
<v Speaker 2>seven to five in Game one of the NLDS.

879
00:44:58.920 --> 00:45:01.920
<v Speaker 3>Let's go out to New Hall, Marco. You're on Dodger Talk.

880
00:45:02.039 --> 00:45:05.199
<v Speaker 21>Hi Marco, Hey David, thanks for taking the call on

881
00:45:05.280 --> 00:45:07.760
<v Speaker 21>a longtime listener and multiple time callers. Let's get a

882
00:45:07.800 --> 00:45:10.719
<v Speaker 21>chat with you again, man pleasure. Hey listen, I wanted

883
00:45:10.840 --> 00:45:13.360
<v Speaker 21>to wanted to call something out. I think all we

884
00:45:13.480 --> 00:45:16.480
<v Speaker 21>poked about tonight the great Freddie Freeman being a warrior.

885
00:45:16.599 --> 00:45:18.599
<v Speaker 21>I started being saw at the back of the lineup,

886
00:45:18.599 --> 00:45:21.519
<v Speaker 21>setting the table and doing their job all too true.

887
00:45:21.920 --> 00:45:23.960
<v Speaker 21>The one thing we haven't talked about but I thought

888
00:45:24.079 --> 00:45:26.519
<v Speaker 21>was so special is I was at the game and

889
00:45:26.639 --> 00:45:29.239
<v Speaker 21>when Kopek was struggling, yet a woll bitch walk right

890
00:45:29.239 --> 00:45:32.519
<v Speaker 21>out of the gates, MIGGI Rowe goes in instead of

891
00:45:32.559 --> 00:45:35.039
<v Speaker 21>them out fire. We're shouting. You know, we're ten rounds

892
00:45:35.079 --> 00:45:37.760
<v Speaker 21>back from Roger dug out. Why isn't fire going out there?

893
00:45:37.960 --> 00:45:40.800
<v Speaker 21>But Nicky Rowe with employees and veteran leadership.

894
00:45:41.800 --> 00:45:44.239
<v Speaker 3>I saw him out there even before the ball got

895
00:45:44.320 --> 00:45:46.880
<v Speaker 3>back to Kopek. He was in his ear. It's not

896
00:45:47.079 --> 00:45:50.480
<v Speaker 3>necessarily Mark Pryor's job. How about the catcher.

897
00:45:50.760 --> 00:45:53.519
<v Speaker 2>The catcher should be going out there to settle down

898
00:45:53.559 --> 00:45:57.440
<v Speaker 2>his pitcher. But you know, Keik Hernandez has done that,

899
00:45:57.960 --> 00:46:00.639
<v Speaker 2>Miguel Rojas has done that. So they kind of have

900
00:46:00.760 --> 00:46:03.360
<v Speaker 2>a feel for the game and understand how to slow

901
00:46:03.400 --> 00:46:06.320
<v Speaker 2>it down and get into that pitcher's head. So I

902
00:46:06.440 --> 00:46:09.880
<v Speaker 2>think when Keyk's on the infield, and of course Rojas,

903
00:46:09.960 --> 00:46:14.639
<v Speaker 2>they're really good at feeling that that kind of momentum

904
00:46:14.760 --> 00:46:17.360
<v Speaker 2>going against their pitcher and trying to slow the game down.

905
00:46:17.400 --> 00:46:19.960
<v Speaker 3>You're right, thanks for the phone call. Appreciate it.

906
00:46:20.239 --> 00:46:24.000
<v Speaker 2>And Miguel Rojas, he made an incredible catch in the

907
00:46:24.119 --> 00:46:27.480
<v Speaker 2>eighth inning that had trouble written all over it. It

908
00:46:27.639 --> 00:46:30.639
<v Speaker 2>was one of those fly balls by Bogarts that you

909
00:46:30.719 --> 00:46:33.960
<v Speaker 2>know usually drops. It was right in the perfect spot,

910
00:46:34.079 --> 00:46:37.559
<v Speaker 2>but Rojas, thirty six years old going out there and

911
00:46:37.719 --> 00:46:41.119
<v Speaker 2>making an over the shoulder basket catch that not many

912
00:46:41.199 --> 00:46:45.320
<v Speaker 2>guys could do. So big defensive play by Rojas and

913
00:46:45.400 --> 00:46:48.559
<v Speaker 2>the eighth big defensive play by Gavin Lux in the

914
00:46:48.679 --> 00:46:49.239
<v Speaker 2>ninth inning.

915
00:46:49.320 --> 00:46:51.239
<v Speaker 3>It was a total team effort.

916
00:46:51.360 --> 00:46:53.360
<v Speaker 2>And that's what the Dodgers are going to need, not

917
00:46:53.480 --> 00:46:56.320
<v Speaker 2>only to win this series, but to go the distance

918
00:46:56.920 --> 00:46:59.599
<v Speaker 2>up and down this lineup, up and down the pitching staff.

919
00:47:00.039 --> 00:47:01.960
<v Speaker 2>They all did a great job of chipping in to

920
00:47:02.039 --> 00:47:05.119
<v Speaker 2>get this win tonight. And look, like I said, the

921
00:47:05.199 --> 00:47:07.639
<v Speaker 2>Padres are a really good team. But the Dodgers have

922
00:47:07.800 --> 00:47:11.440
<v Speaker 2>to remember how good they are and take that field

923
00:47:11.840 --> 00:47:14.039
<v Speaker 2>and do what they used to do and own that

924
00:47:14.280 --> 00:47:18.719
<v Speaker 2>field and put doubt in that other teams dugout. And

925
00:47:18.840 --> 00:47:21.360
<v Speaker 2>they did that tonight. By the way, they came back

926
00:47:21.440 --> 00:47:25.880
<v Speaker 2>to win this game. Now tomorrow game two of the NLDS,

927
00:47:26.039 --> 00:47:29.400
<v Speaker 2>we'll have Jack Flaherty going up against you, Darvish. Here

928
00:47:29.519 --> 00:47:32.400
<v Speaker 2>was Jack Flaherty earlier today when I asked him about

929
00:47:32.480 --> 00:47:36.159
<v Speaker 2>his thoughts of getting on the mound in a postseason game,

930
00:47:36.599 --> 00:47:40.000
<v Speaker 2>but this time wearing a Dodger uniform.

931
00:47:41.599 --> 00:47:41.880
<v Speaker 3>A lot.

932
00:47:42.159 --> 00:47:44.199
<v Speaker 14>You know, just have had some conversations over the last

933
00:47:44.239 --> 00:47:48.000
<v Speaker 14>couple of days with some family and some people close

934
00:47:48.039 --> 00:47:50.760
<v Speaker 14>to me, just kind of putting it all in a

935
00:47:50.800 --> 00:47:56.639
<v Speaker 14>perspective and how kind of surreal and just crazy of

936
00:47:56.679 --> 00:47:58.599
<v Speaker 14>an opportunity it is, you know, being from here and

937
00:47:58.639 --> 00:48:00.239
<v Speaker 14>growing up here, having come to games here here and

938
00:48:01.119 --> 00:48:03.039
<v Speaker 14>and then, but it's different, you know, be able to

939
00:48:03.079 --> 00:48:06.360
<v Speaker 14>be a part of it and you know, have the

940
00:48:07.159 --> 00:48:08.840
<v Speaker 14>be on this side of things. You know, if I've

941
00:48:09.360 --> 00:48:11.840
<v Speaker 14>been here for you know, a playoff game with with

942
00:48:11.960 --> 00:48:14.639
<v Speaker 14>Saint Louis, But but being to be on this side

943
00:48:14.679 --> 00:48:16.920
<v Speaker 14>and and be a part of it over here is different.

944
00:48:17.000 --> 00:48:19.519
<v Speaker 14>And it's just a lot of fun at the end

945
00:48:19.519 --> 00:48:22.320
<v Speaker 14>of the day. You know, this is uh, you know

946
00:48:22.480 --> 00:48:24.440
<v Speaker 14>something you know I was like looking back, you know,

947
00:48:25.039 --> 00:48:25.719
<v Speaker 14>a little.

948
00:48:25.519 --> 00:48:26.079
<v Speaker 3>Like young me.

949
00:48:26.599 --> 00:48:30.599
<v Speaker 14>If I was to tell myself this, you know what

950
00:48:30.719 --> 00:48:32.400
<v Speaker 14>would like eight year old me say and then just

951
00:48:32.480 --> 00:48:34.360
<v Speaker 14>be be pretty cool. So I'm just I'm trying to

952
00:48:34.480 --> 00:48:34.760
<v Speaker 14>enjoy it.

953
00:48:35.599 --> 00:48:38.599
<v Speaker 15>Andrew was doing the press conference a couple of days

954
00:48:38.639 --> 00:48:41.119
<v Speaker 15>ago and was asked about, you know, the fastball velocity,

955
00:48:41.199 --> 00:48:42.960
<v Speaker 15>but he said that you're trying to kind of get

956
00:48:43.000 --> 00:48:45.280
<v Speaker 15>your delivery all synced up. Do you feel like you've

957
00:48:45.320 --> 00:48:47.719
<v Speaker 15>had enough time and are you happy with where it's

958
00:48:47.719 --> 00:48:49.360
<v Speaker 15>at in preparation for tomorrow?

959
00:48:49.639 --> 00:48:51.440
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, you know, I think the last couple of starts,

960
00:48:51.519 --> 00:48:53.639
<v Speaker 14>we were working on a couple of things and trying

961
00:48:53.639 --> 00:48:55.400
<v Speaker 14>to do a couple of things different. And you know,

962
00:48:55.480 --> 00:48:58.840
<v Speaker 14>we're gonna be able to go and use my strengths

963
00:48:59.760 --> 00:49:03.079
<v Speaker 14>as to go forward, and you know, the philosophy is

964
00:49:03.119 --> 00:49:05.320
<v Speaker 14>going to be whatever it is. I don't know, but

965
00:49:05.360 --> 00:49:08.119
<v Speaker 14>at that point just comes down to excuting and but

966
00:49:08.320 --> 00:49:10.679
<v Speaker 14>you know, we just be putting the work over the

967
00:49:10.760 --> 00:49:13.960
<v Speaker 14>week and trying to figure some things out and just

968
00:49:14.320 --> 00:49:17.079
<v Speaker 14>try to be more consistent. More than anything. You got

969
00:49:17.119 --> 00:49:19.000
<v Speaker 14>to locate the ball and spin the ball the way

970
00:49:19.039 --> 00:49:19.320
<v Speaker 14>I want to.

971
00:49:19.920 --> 00:49:24.400
<v Speaker 2>And that is tomorrow's starter at a Burbank. Jack Flaherty,

972
00:49:24.559 --> 00:49:26.840
<v Speaker 2>the Grade one eight, will be on the mound tomorrow

973
00:49:26.960 --> 00:49:30.559
<v Speaker 2>in his first postseason game as a Dodger, going up

974
00:49:30.559 --> 00:49:35.199
<v Speaker 2>against former Dodger You darvish. Our coverage begins tomorrow at

975
00:49:35.320 --> 00:49:39.360
<v Speaker 2>four o'clock. First pitch from Dodgers Stadium, Game two of

976
00:49:39.480 --> 00:49:43.400
<v Speaker 2>the NLDS at five o'clock, and one more note before

977
00:49:43.440 --> 00:49:46.679
<v Speaker 2>we say good night. Not only did the Dodgers win tonight,

978
00:49:47.039 --> 00:49:50.920
<v Speaker 2>but also the Padres were trailing and Mike Shildt went

979
00:49:51.000 --> 00:49:54.559
<v Speaker 2>to his bullpen and used three of his high leverage

980
00:49:54.599 --> 00:49:57.960
<v Speaker 2>relievers that usually you would only see with them winning

981
00:49:58.320 --> 00:50:03.960
<v Speaker 2>or protecting maybe a tied at home. Jason Adam, Brian Hoeing, Tanner, Scott,

982
00:50:04.440 --> 00:50:08.039
<v Speaker 2>We're all used in the game where the Padres were trailing,

983
00:50:08.599 --> 00:50:12.719
<v Speaker 2>and not to mention, Robert Suarez was warming up in

984
00:50:12.800 --> 00:50:14.360
<v Speaker 2>the ninth inning for what reason.

985
00:50:14.480 --> 00:50:18.519
<v Speaker 3>I have no idea, but the Padres.

986
00:50:18.000 --> 00:50:20.800
<v Speaker 2>Had to use a lot of their high leverage relievers

987
00:50:21.239 --> 00:50:24.159
<v Speaker 2>that they normally would use when they're winning, not when

988
00:50:24.159 --> 00:50:27.639
<v Speaker 2>they're losing. Keep that in mind moving forward in this

989
00:50:27.800 --> 00:50:30.800
<v Speaker 2>series as well. All right, Thanks to calling ee back

996
00:50:51.360 --> 00:50:55.280
<v Speaker 2>one of the NLDS, the Dodgers come from behind and

00:50:55.440 --> 00:50:57.320
