Speaker 1: on the parade route, or just sit back and enjoy
Speaker 1: our coverage right here beginning at nine thirty tomorrow, presented
Speaker 1: in part by Bank of America, the official bank of
Speaker 1: the LA Dodgers. Saxony I was just looking up the
Speaker 1: Dodgers' stats for this year, and I did that because
Speaker 1: I wanted to see how many guys actually contributed to
Speaker 1: this Dodgers team.
Speaker 3: That'd be interesting, and I.
Speaker 1: Start looking at all the pitchers. Seventeen different starting pitchers
Speaker 1: that got starts here for the Dodgers. Forty different pitchers
Speaker 1: that pitched this season for the Dodgers. Ryan Yarborough, a
Speaker 1: relief pitcher who was dfade, was a big part of
Speaker 1: the Dodgers the first half of the season. Yes, Michael
Speaker 1: Grove was up and down from Triple A and contributed.
Speaker 1: Justin Robluski made his major league debut and helped out
Speaker 1: this Dodgers team. Ryan Brasier was fantastic this season for
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. You look at a guy like Ben Caspary
Speaker 1: is coming up. JP Feireheisen who was caught up, called
Speaker 1: up and helped out this Dodgers team. Nick Ramirez pitched
Speaker 1: in eight games. Michael Peterson pitched an eleven game for
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. River Ryan Won, of the Dodgers' top prospects,
Speaker 1: pitched this year before he got hurt. James Paxton was
Speaker 1: in the Dodgers rotation and pitched eighteen games for the
Speaker 1: Dodgers and actually finished the regular season as their fourth pitcher,
Speaker 1: fourth best pitcher as far as innings pitched this year
Speaker 1: with eighty nine in the third and he wasn't even
Speaker 1: around the second half of the season and not a
Speaker 1: part of this World Series run. But yet he was
Speaker 1: one of the opening day starting pitchers and contributed this
Speaker 1: Dodgers team. Again, it just shows you how many players
Speaker 1: it takes to win a championship over the course of
Speaker 1: a six month season. In all these names, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: throw in a couple more names. James Autman, who was
Speaker 1: a Dodger starting center field there a year ago, opened
Speaker 1: the season with the team, did not finish the season
Speaker 1: with the Dodgers. I'm gonna throw another name out for
Speaker 1: Dodger fans. Jason Hayward. Jason Hayward made the opening day roster,
Speaker 1: was part of this team, and because of a numbers
Speaker 1: crunch and needing more pitchers, he was d fade after
Speaker 1: the All Star break, and it caught a lot of
Speaker 1: people off guard. You know, Ahmed Rosario, Nick Ahmed Taylor,
Speaker 1: Trammell was a part of this team. Cavin Biegio. These
Speaker 1: are all guys who contributed in small parts, but just
Speaker 1: the small parts all equal a.
Speaker 3: Whole, absolutely right, And you can you can't predict this
Speaker 3: in spring training, but you know, as you said in
Speaker 3: early in the broadcast, I mean, you're in spring training
Speaker 3: and they're going to talk about that everybody in this
Speaker 3: locker room on the forty man roster, most notably the pitchers,
Speaker 3: because that's where a lot of the injuries happen. Are
Speaker 3: gonna be a part of the winning factor in the organization,
Speaker 3: and it always happens that way. You know, we were
Speaker 3: talking about there's times I've talked about the Angels before
Speaker 3: how they have such a need for pitching, and it
Speaker 3: was a couple of years ago we said, wow, they
Speaker 3: had like almost twenty seventeen to twenty people that actually pitched,
Speaker 3: you know, started a game for the Angels. Well, that's
Speaker 3: kind of normal. That's normal. Now the Dodgers had what's
Speaker 3: seventeen mm hm. That shows you how tentative those arms
Speaker 3: are for starting pitchers in the big leagues. It's crazy
Speaker 3: how many guys you need.
Speaker 1: I imagine as a player Saxony's, you're sitting around on
Speaker 1: your stool or inside your you know, chair, at your
Speaker 1: locker down to the old Vero Beach or at Camelback
Speaker 1: Ranch now in Arizona, and the managers, you know, we
Speaker 1: need everybody to pull on the same side of the
Speaker 1: rope and Tommy's giving you that speech, or Dave Roberts
Speaker 1: giving that speech, and it's about the name on the
Speaker 1: front of your jersey, not the name on the back.
Speaker 1: And it's good take all of you guys to come
Speaker 1: in here and be a part of a championship. I
Speaker 1: imagine some of the guys on the rocks like me,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be here. I'm gonna be an Albuquerque. No,
Speaker 1: not me, I'm not gonna be a part of this team.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm you know, I'm just trying to make the
Speaker 1: squad if I can and catch on somewhere. But it
Speaker 1: truly takes everybody. But I imagine you're sitting around some
Speaker 1: of those years, maybe early in your career, thinking I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna be a part of this team. Right.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I mean you get in the locker room.
Speaker 3: I mean that's the first step. I knew my first
Speaker 3: entrein into the locker room, I wasn't gonna be there.
Speaker 3: I was gonna be somewhere in the minor leagues. But man,
Speaker 3: the you know, the the information that you gather, the experience,
Speaker 3: it's it's invaluable. It's just wonderful, but you know, guys
Speaker 3: that are on the cusp, it's kind of tough for
Speaker 3: those guys. And when you finally get the chance to
Speaker 3: you know, make the team, it is amazing, especially in
Speaker 3: World Series fashion. Can you imagine the guys like Autman
Speaker 3: and the guys you mentioned, the guys that were DFA
Speaker 3: like like like Hayward, and they're gonna get a chance
Speaker 3: to enjoy the money and the ring. So that's that's
Speaker 3: kind of a nice offshoot of all this.
Speaker 1: He is Steve sax I, Am, Tim Kates and Saxon
Speaker 1: Kates and the am winding up this playoff run for
Speaker 1: the Dodgers that ended with an eighth World Series Championship.
Speaker 1: Here for the Los Angeles Dodgers and a prey tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Go back out to the phones as we talk with
Speaker 1: Dodger fans all morning long. Where were you? How did
Speaker 1: you celebrate? What does this mean to you? Another World
Speaker 1: Series Championship? Madlin and Fullerton, thanks for being patient, Good morning.
Speaker 5: Good morning guys. I love this show. Just want to
Speaker 5: say the real World Series was against the Padres. We
Speaker 5: hate those guys and I felt so good to beat
Speaker 5: those guys and the real thing Steve, when you said
Speaker 5: God wants the good guys to win, they truly wanted
Speaker 5: the good guys to win, and we pulled through definite
Speaker 5: against those Drabbroni Yankee fans can't believe they were as
Speaker 5: salty mookie bets out there. And I just want to say,
Speaker 5: you guys are awesome and go.
Speaker 1: Dodgers, all right, Madeline, appreciate that you're gonna know the
Speaker 1: pray tomorrow, Madlin.
Speaker 5: Oh, me and my boyfriend Isaac are surely gonna be there.
Speaker 5: We're calling off work. We're gonna be there because you
Speaker 5: know what, we lost out in twenty twenty, and this
Speaker 5: is the this is the time for my generation. I
Speaker 5: wasn't even born in eighty eight, but I've been a
Speaker 5: Dodger fan my whole life and this is our time
Speaker 5: to shine. And everyone, all these Steaks fans that want
Speaker 5: to say that we're choke artists, I would like to
Speaker 5: see them play one hundred and sixty two games and
Speaker 5: still make it every year to the playoffs. Even though
Speaker 5: the teams fall apart sometimes. We still love our Dodgers
Speaker 5: and we did it this year and it's for real
Speaker 5: and I love you guys.
Speaker 3: Thank you awesome Thank you, Madlin. Thanks Madel.
Speaker 1: Hopefully we'll see the prey tomorrow with you and your
Speaker 1: boyfriend walking around there the streets of downtown LA or
Speaker 1: maybe inside Dodger Stadium again. Our coverage will be getting
Speaker 1: nine thirty tomorrow morning. Right here at a five seventy
Speaker 1: LA Sports Armando in West Hill is Entry being patient
Speaker 1: on this Thursday morning the Dodgers are champions? Has that
Speaker 1: sound Armando?
Speaker 6: Oh man, it sounds great. I mean it's I'm still
Speaker 6: living in a dream. I'm actually at the six Sporting
Speaker 6: Goods in Pasadena right now waiting to speak to you guys.
Speaker 6: I'm just super excited getting all my championship gear ready
Speaker 6: for tomorrow's parade.
Speaker 3: Nice.
Speaker 1: What time do they open Armando? What time do they open?
Speaker 6: They opened at seven this morning, so I've been out
Speaker 6: here since six am.
Speaker 1: Is there a crowd of people waiting to get them?
Speaker 1: And then is there a crowd of people waiting to
Speaker 1: get World Series memorabilia?
Speaker 6: Yeah? There was about when I first got here, I
Speaker 6: was surprised there was like fifteen people in front of me,
Speaker 6: and then before I knew it, there was like an
Speaker 6: extra seventy five behind me. So crowds are coming and
Speaker 6: there's a lot of gear here, so come on down
Speaker 6: to Pasadena and gear up for tomorrow's parade. But I
Speaker 6: just want to say real quick, I was born in
Speaker 6: eighty seven. You know, I've always been a Dodger fan
Speaker 6: my whole life. My dad, my dad remembers the eighty
Speaker 6: eight World Series and Saxy, you're a part of that.
Speaker 6: So congratulations to that. And then in twenty twenty, a
Speaker 6: lot of people said, oh, you know, there's it's an
Speaker 6: asterisk season. You know, it doesn't really doesn't really count.
Speaker 6: It's a half the season.
Speaker 7: Saxy.
Speaker 6: I know you disagree with that, which I do too,
Speaker 6: But last night really really makes twenty twenty credible. This
Speaker 6: team is great. Dave Roberts all credit to him, second
Speaker 6: World Series title. But you know, sometimes when when he
Speaker 6: comes out there to make pitching changes or just make
Speaker 6: a change in the lineup, sometimes I scratched my head.
Speaker 6: But last night, when he came out to speak to
Speaker 6: Blake China on the mound, that's when I knew that, hey,
Speaker 6: we got this in the bag and he wants it.
Speaker 6: We have a foaming junkyard dog in the bullpend ready
Speaker 6: to come out and Walker Bueler and he came and
Speaker 6: sealed the deal for us. So happy to see that
Speaker 6: and sad to see you guys. Go man, you guys
Speaker 6: had a great run during the postseason. It's one of
Speaker 6: my favorite things to do when I wake up. So
Speaker 6: keep it going next to you guys.
Speaker 1: Right, awesome, thank you, Harmando. How about a shout out?
Speaker 1: I want you to get the phone and started yelling
Speaker 1: on AM five to seventy right now, let everybody know

Speaker 1: neophyight to hear on the radio. That's gonna tell everybody
Speaker 1: and know that, Hey, the gear is already out when
Speaker 1: you win the World Series like twelve hours later. But
Speaker 1: but you know pro like you, you're you're ahead of that. Well,
Speaker 1: that's why you make that huge dough exactly. That's why
Speaker 1: you make World Series like money world. Some are ahead
Speaker 1: of it, somebody's making it. It's trickling down. It's a
Speaker 1: slow drift, a slow, slow drip.
Speaker 3: There's a pool that trickles down around the Tim Kate's feet.
Speaker 1: Now, yeah, I don't know about that. That's true. I
Speaker 1: saw that.
Speaker 3: I saw the Bentley that you drove up in.
Speaker 1: Come on, Kate, that's just my Wednesday, right, go your Wednesday.
Speaker 3: That's it.
Speaker 1: Let's go back out to the phones. Is it osmond osmen?
Speaker 1: You're next up on a f I seventy LA Sports
Speaker 1: with Steve Saxon. Tim Kates. Did I say it right?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 7: You said it right.
Speaker 1: Good morning, gentlemen, Good morning, good good morning.
Speaker 7: I just wanted to say it's our honor to speak
Speaker 7: to Steve Saxon was one of my my IDOL players
Speaker 7: when I was growing up in La.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 7: I've been all over the country, all over the world.
Speaker 7: I followed this team since as I could remember. I've
Speaker 7: watched them in Washington, Arlington, Houston, Arizona, San Diego, New York.
Speaker 7: I mean, this team is amazing. The last time they
Speaker 7: won in twenty two, I was sitting in a barish
Speaker 7: room in camp Fuji watching on two TVs talking to
Speaker 7: my family on FaceTime, but this time was special. I
Speaker 7: had my two girls, my wife. We celebrated in my
Speaker 7: in my living room here in California.
Speaker 4: I just saw.
Speaker 7: I can't believe that they won last night. I am
Speaker 7: so happy. It just means so much to me. Gentlemen,
Speaker 7: I love the Dodgers. I don't know what else to say.
Speaker 1: Awesome, thank you for your service. Ozmind appreciated man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you, Osmond hearing his voice, Tim, Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 3: thank you, sir.
Speaker 1: It means a lot for so many different people, and
Speaker 1: it means a lot for different reasons, which is so
Speaker 1: cool to see. We're a diverse society. Their community comes
Speaker 1: from different walks of life and different backgrounds. But the
Speaker 1: one thing that can bring everybody together, especially in these
Speaker 1: these weird times that we live in, is Dodgers Baseball
Speaker 1: and a World Series championship. And whether you're hugging and
Speaker 1: high fiving the guy next to you at a game,
Speaker 1: or are celebrating out and about safely, of course, after
Speaker 1: a Dodgers World Series win, it brings everybody together for
Speaker 1: one common reason, and for a good reason, and at
Speaker 1: least for a temporary time, everybody can get along and
Speaker 1: at least celebrate one thing in common, which is so
Speaker 1: cool to see.
Speaker 3: I love that. I love that. With all the problems
Speaker 3: in this country today, like you said, baseball just brings
Speaker 3: it together three hours. I don't want to hear about this.
Speaker 3: I don't hear about that. No politics, Let's just all
Speaker 3: go have a good time. That's what other thing can
Speaker 3: bring people together like that. Now, not thing can sports
Speaker 3: can A football game can? Baseball can certainly, And it's
Speaker 3: it's just a wonderful thing. That's why it never gets old.
Speaker 3: It's like looking at a beautiful sky in the morning.
Speaker 3: It never gets old.
Speaker 1: It's a thread that will connect generations, families together, friends
Speaker 1: together forever. Yes, your grandparents become Dodger fans, and maybe
Speaker 1: mom and dad become a Dodger fan, or because of
Speaker 1: Fernando and Alezuela. A young kid becomes a Dodger fan
Speaker 1: because he's watching Sax and Gibson and Oral Herscheizer in
Speaker 1: eighty eight, and that starts a fandom in that one family,
Speaker 1: and now their kids are growing up watching the twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four Dodgers win a World Series. It just gets
Speaker 1: passed on and passed on and to hear these cool stories,
Speaker 1: and I just love hearing from different people from different
Speaker 1: parts of Southern California to hear the emotions talk about,
Speaker 1: you know, people who are no longer with them to
Speaker 1: their young kids and what it means to them now
Speaker 1: being older in life and be able to experience it differently,
Speaker 1: rather than being a seven year old or a ten
Speaker 1: year old at the time of the last championship. Now
Speaker 1: they get to enjoy it as an adult and see
Speaker 1: it from a different perspective.
Speaker 3: Yes, after you said it, right, Tim, You know what
Speaker 3: else is really cool? Baseball has survived so many things. Strikes, lockouts, earthquakes, tornadoes,
Speaker 3: I mean, you name it. It survived all of it,
Speaker 3: even in time like down when World War two, Okay,
Speaker 3: when they elected not to shut baseball down, they said, no,
Speaker 3: let's just keep baseball going because it's a great escape
Speaker 3: for people. Knowing that, you know, they're some very people,
Speaker 3: some people very much close to them, lose their lives
Speaker 3: in the war and whatever, we gotta keep baseball open
Speaker 3: because it's a wonderful escape, at least for three hours
Speaker 3: for people to go and enjoy a ballgame. And that's
Speaker 3: the magic that baseball brings to this well said.
Speaker 1: Eight six six nine eighty seven two five seventy. Will
Speaker 1: take a break, we'll come back. We got full phone lines,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna hear from all of you all morning
Speaker 1: long as we celebrate at twenty twenty twenty four World
Speaker 1: Series Championship, the Dodgers beating the Yankees last night in
Speaker 1: five games in the Bronx, coming back and winning at
Speaker 1: seven to six in Game five, and bringing home an
Speaker 1: eighth World Series Championship to Los Angeles. Eight sixty six
Speaker 1: nine eighty seven two five seventy. Come back more of
Speaker 1: your phone calls, we'll give him. Continue to give you
Speaker 1: all the details on the parade and celebration at Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 1: Is a ticket at celebration inside the ravine, the parade
Speaker 1: open into whoever wants to come out and see their
Speaker 1: favorite Dodger and celebrate. The parade route, which we'll start
Speaker 1: at eleven am tomorrow at City Hall, wind its way
Speaker 1: through downtown and then of course the celebration at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 1: Eight six six nine eighty seven two five seventy. Thanks
Speaker 1: for being with us this morning as we all celebrate
Speaker 1: together safely, of course, right here at ANFI seventy LA Sports,
Speaker 1: Sax and Kates in the am. Here on an FI
Speaker 1: seventy LA Sports, your home of the World Series champion
Speaker 1: LA Dodgers, who defeat the New York Yankees in five
Speaker 1: games of the twenty twenty four World Series, a comfort
Speaker 1: behind seven to six victory last night, closed out by
Speaker 1: Walker Buehler, who struck out Alex Vdugo to end the
Speaker 1: game last night, as the Dodgers were down five to nothing,
Speaker 1: come back and tie with the five run fifth. They
Speaker 1: were down six to five when they scored two runs
Speaker 1: to take the lead, and those two runs coming in
Speaker 1: the top half of the eighth inning. Blake trining, what
Speaker 1: can you say about what the job he did last night?
Speaker 1: Two and a third innings, no runs, three punchouts, got
Speaker 1: out of a jam in the eighth inning, and then
Speaker 1: Walker Bueller closes it up in the ninth inning. As
Speaker 1: the Dodgers get the win over the Yankees last night,
Speaker 1: and the Yankees got.
Speaker 3: Some rebuilding to do.
Speaker 1: Aaron Boone certainly was disappointed after the game last night.
Speaker 1: They got a lot of decisions to make. The Dodgers
Speaker 1: will have some decisions to make when free agency starts.
Speaker 3: But certainly not a lot of decisions.
Speaker 1: Those decisions were made last offseason with the signing of
Speaker 1: Sho hey O Tani, who Saxy didn't have the greatest
Speaker 1: of World Series. Let's just be honest. The shoulder was
Speaker 1: bothering him. He was zero for four last night. He
Speaker 1: had just two hits in the Fall Classic. And it
Speaker 1: says a lot about this Dodgers team not just built
Speaker 1: around one guy. They can beat the Yankees in five
Speaker 1: games because of everybody on this team.
Speaker 3: No question. I mean, you know, you talk about the
Speaker 3: bottom of the order was phenomenal for the Dodgers. They
Speaker 3: just did it all all series long. And you know
Speaker 3: about show Hey, you can to me it just you know,
Speaker 3: when runners are on base and they have to come
Speaker 3: in the strike zone, watch out when there's nobody on base.
Speaker 3: He has a tendency to go out and just try
Speaker 3: to do too much because he wants to do so much,
Speaker 3: you know, and that's just that's a mark of a
Speaker 3: great player. I think the very simple thing for him
Speaker 3: just tighten up the zone. That's it. I mean, you
Speaker 3: know what we all have done it, I mean, stretching
Speaker 3: out too far and trying to do too much. But
Speaker 3: you know when they come in the strike zone, he
Speaker 3: is just so dangerous. So I think that's just the
Speaker 3: bottom line for him, just to tighten up the zone
Speaker 3: a bit. And he's you know, he's remarkable.
Speaker 1: Let's go back out to the phones as we want
Speaker 1: to celebrate with you this Thursday morning. Dodger fans, where
Speaker 1: were you? How did you celebrate? What does it mean
Speaker 1: to you to see the Dodgers bring home and a
Speaker 1: World Series championship? Anthony and Ontario has been waiting patiently. Anthony,
Speaker 1: thank you so much.
Speaker 3: Welcome.
Speaker 4: What's up boy?
Speaker 5: Good morning?
Speaker 3: Are you guys doing good things?
Speaker 5: No, dude, I was.
Speaker 8: I was in my room.
Speaker 4: I was watching the final out just to see Walker
Speaker 4: Beer close it out. It's awesome, especially since he was
Speaker 4: there in the twenty twenty World Series.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 4: Then I just have to as a picture of myself.
Speaker 7: I got to give credit to.
Speaker 4: This bullpen, dude, the resilience of what they did, especially
Speaker 4: with only two guants, three guaranteed starting pitchers Julier Flerity Yamamoto.
Speaker 4: They all pitch good, but then that bullpen being able
Speaker 4: to come in clean them up, and then especially what
Speaker 4: was it in like the thirty something consecutive innings without
Speaker 4: a run versus the Padres.
Speaker 8: Yeah, absolutely insane.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know it's just what they're able to
Speaker 4: do to come back and help us. And in the
Speaker 4: World Series those last few games they get kind of
Speaker 4: getting shaky as well, training going three games consecutively giving
Speaker 4: a run after not giving up any runs. But to
Speaker 4: see him bear down yesterday to get the job done
Speaker 4: so that we could go into the Nins given in
Speaker 4: Walker Buliers chance on only two days rest is absolutely insane.
Speaker 4: It just shows a lot how we've always been that
Speaker 4: comeback team. We've always been looked down upon because, oh,
Speaker 4: we have the money, we just buy the superstars. And
Speaker 4: then you can see it with show, Hey, he didn't
Speaker 4: do so much. I mean I get it because he
Speaker 4: had his shoulder problem, but you know, it takes away
Speaker 4: to what people would say. It's like, oh, you won
Speaker 4: because of Otani. Otani, Like, Otani didn't do so much,
Speaker 4: and then this team just stuck together and was able to,
Speaker 4: you know, get those clutch avs, get those clutch hits,
Speaker 4: and you know, just to help from the Yankees poor defense.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt, Anthony. Thanks for checking in this morning.
Speaker 1: Thanks for being a part of this celebration. Freddie Freeman
Speaker 1: wins the MVP of the World Series, and no doubt
Speaker 1: what he did the four straight games homering, hitting three
Speaker 1: hundred twelve RBIs that he drives in. It was an
Speaker 1: epic individual performance for Freddie free But if you had
Speaker 1: to give out an MVP for the postseason, I give
Speaker 1: it to the bullpen.
Speaker 3: I give it to the dogs.
Speaker 1: I give it to all those dudes who come out
Speaker 1: of the gate and ask to do mop up duty,
Speaker 1: bulk innings, eat innings, come in and get it a
Speaker 1: tight situation, get out of a jam, come in and
Speaker 1: be an opener. Whatever their role was, they did it.
Speaker 1: Didn't ask questions, and all those guys perform when they
Speaker 1: needed to. And at some point during this postseason, all
Speaker 1: of them, the dogs in the bullpen, I think are
Speaker 1: the bull There are the MVPs of the Dodger team
Speaker 1: in the postseason.
Speaker 3: Well, they were able to strike up, you know, their
Speaker 3: own their own notoriety. Now their their own importance is
Speaker 3: going to be taking a big step up. They're going
Speaker 3: to be known as the dogs from now on. You know,
Speaker 3: when you win a World Series like this, you have
Speaker 3: to have some defining moments. Uh. And I think one
Speaker 3: of the defining moments you can talk about the Dodgers
Speaker 3: is the ballsy attitude of that bullpen. I gotta tell
Speaker 3: you when Doc went out there and was, you know,
Speaker 3: contemplating on the way out, I don't think he knew
Speaker 3: until he got up to Blake trying him, and he
Speaker 3: asked him, and he looked in his eyes and Blake
Speaker 3: trying and told him that he wants it, that he's
Speaker 3: got it, and he trusted him. That's a ballsy move
Speaker 3: on Trinon's part and on Dave Roberts' part to go
Speaker 3: out just trust what he's feeling. That was number one.
Speaker 3: And then also the ballsy move was about Walker Buehller
Speaker 3: going down there, putting himself out, I mean, putting his
Speaker 3: neck out there. He didn't have to go down there,
Speaker 3: but he did it and said, I'll do whatever you
Speaker 3: need me to do, and he nailed this thing down.
Speaker 3: Walker Buehler was not pitching to the hitters. He was
Speaker 3: attacking the hitters who was being hunted in that situation.
Speaker 3: Walker was hunting those hitters and that's why they won.
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought that up. He didn't have to
Speaker 1: go out there. He started Game three the World Series
Speaker 1: and was great. Absolutely, he very easily could have said
Speaker 1: I'll wait till Game seven. If there's a Game seven
Speaker 1: to pitch, I'm not gonna pitch it innings sooner, because
Speaker 1: what I did in Game three should have been enough
Speaker 1: to get this team to a World Series championship. And
Speaker 1: oh yeah, what I've done in all these series here
Speaker 1: in the postseason should speak for itself. And what I've
Speaker 1: done in the three last World Series that I've pitched
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, twenty twenty and now twenty twenty four, in
Speaker 1: all three game threes should speak for itself. But here
Speaker 1: he is another example of a team guy wanting to
Speaker 1: go out there and be a team player because he
Speaker 1: realized down that bullpen there was landon knack, Brent Honeywell Junior,
Speaker 1: and Daniel Hudson and Ben Casparius, all for the pitchers
Speaker 1: who pitched the night before, a lot of innings and
Speaker 1: a lot of pitches on those arms that were going
Speaker 1: to be able to go out and his team needed him.
Speaker 1: I absolutely love that mentality here in twenty twenty four
Speaker 1: because you don't see it a lot anymore.
Speaker 3: And you talked about yesterday that the Dodgers were punched
Speaker 3: in the mouth, right yeah, well who was punching back?
Speaker 3: It was guys like Walker, Bueller and Tryning, putting themselves
Speaker 3: on the line, not afraid to fail, but embracing the situation.
Speaker 3: But what I loved about that whole thing. You're in
Speaker 3: the other team's ballpark. Uh, you've you've mounted this unbelievable comeback.
Speaker 3: Can you sustain it? Walker Bueller goes out there and
Speaker 3: hunts those hitters. That is that is stellar right there.
Speaker 3: He's the one doing the hunting, no doubt about it.
Speaker 1: He was fantastic out there in the ninth inn in
Speaker 1: eight sixty sixth ninety seven, two five seventy. Thanks for
Speaker 1: being patient, Father Gary in Burbank, who has been blessing
Speaker 1: us all October long, and the Dodgers delivered with a championship.
Speaker 1: Father Gary, Good morning, Good.
Speaker 8: Morning, Timothy, Good morning, Steven.
Speaker 3: Good morning, Father Gary.
Speaker 8: And I think that's somewhere back in the archives of
Speaker 8: the Kits and Sacks Show you can find me saying
Speaker 8: that I had a prophecy that Freddy Freeman would be
Speaker 8: MVP of the World Series. So let's dust that off
Speaker 8: and let's remember that we had some faith. You guys
Speaker 8: told me that we were going to put these guys.
Speaker 8: Freddie was going to put these guys on their back
Speaker 8: and carry them across the finish line. And that's what
Speaker 8: this man did. What a great testimony. Guys. In eighty eight,
Speaker 8: I was in high school. I was going bananas. In
Speaker 8: twenty twenty, couldn't celebrate tomorrow down Venezuela's birthday. Let's get
Speaker 8: out there and let's show these guys how much we
Speaker 8: loved them. Because I was at Game seven in twenty
Speaker 8: seventeen against the Astros, and I can't tell you how
Speaker 8: much that hurt. Hurt even more to find out that
Speaker 8: they were banging drums and banging trash cans. But last night, man,
Speaker 8: the Dodgers came out. They showed heart in that fifth inning.
Speaker 8: This is what it's all about, man, and you guys
Speaker 8: are right. Baseball brings the country together. Baseball sports brings
Speaker 8: people together. That's what it's all about, man, Life, loving
Speaker 8: each other, being good to each other, enjoying each other's company.
Speaker 8: And thank you to the Yankees for a great series,
Speaker 8: to the Padres for pushing us, and to the Mets
Speaker 8: for making it a little bit scary, but this was
Speaker 8: our time, guys. Twenty four is the year the Dodgers. Guys,
Speaker 8: thank you for cumminating me. This whole postseason hopefully won't
Speaker 8: be told next October, but we'll talk soon.
Speaker 3: All right, There he goes, Father Gary and Burbank and Tim,
Speaker 3: Father Gary, I mean, how nice would he pointed out, Hey,
Speaker 3: tomorrow the parade Fernando's birthday? How fit? You can't make
Speaker 3: it up? I mean, after everything that happened in this
Speaker 3: story book of a playoffs, Freddy Freeman doing the things
Speaker 3: he did, I mean, Walker Bueller doing the things he did.
Speaker 3: I mean, who would ever write down, even on a
Speaker 3: piece of paper that said Freddy Freeman was going to
Speaker 3: Homer in his sixth consecutive world series, going back to
Speaker 3: when he was a member of the Braves. Yeah, you
Speaker 3: wouldn't have believed it at number one. No, But then
Speaker 3: to say this is all gonna be culminated in the
Speaker 3: ending where we're gonna have a parade on Fernando's birthday. Hey,
Speaker 3: they you would say, you know what, Hollywood's not gonna
Speaker 3: buy it, throw it out, it's too phony. Nobody's gonna
Speaker 3: believe it, believe it.
Speaker 1: And then you think of the fifth inning last night
Speaker 1: and the divine intervention that had to be with Aaron
Speaker 1: Judge boxing that ball in center field. Never made an
Speaker 1: air during the regular season, but in Game five of
Speaker 1: the World Series, he makes an air. The bad throw
Speaker 1: from Anthony Volpi, the miscommunication from Garrett Cole and Anthony
Speaker 1: Rizzo on a ball hit off the end of the
Speaker 1: bat from Mookie Betts that brings in the first run
Speaker 1: of the game. I mean, something special has to happen,
Speaker 1: Things have to fall your way, things have to go
Speaker 1: right in order to open that door, and then you
Speaker 1: have to take advantage of it. Somebody's got to step
Speaker 1: through that door, hold it open and let everybody else through.
Speaker 1: That's what exactly happened last night in that fifth inning
Speaker 1: with that five run fifth. Pedro and Monrovia, it's been
Speaker 1: waiting patiently, thanks Pajo. How you doing, buddy, Pegro? Are
Speaker 1: you running right now?
Speaker 3: What's going on? You a fight?
Speaker 1: Pedro? You okay? Padre's working out, man, We'll put him
Speaker 1: back on hold.
Speaker 3: Get it. Let get his workout in there. Get a
Speaker 3: little sweat going.
Speaker 1: Angie in la Is next up on Saxon Kates and
Speaker 1: am I. Angie Angie. Maybe Angie's enjoying a little breakfast.
Speaker 1: We'll put her back on hold. Lenny in La Lenny,
Speaker 1: Welcome to Saxon Kates and am how you doing?
Speaker 3: Lenny? Lenny?
Speaker 1: Hello, Lenny, all right, we will try Joe and Rarson. Joe,
Speaker 1: Welcome to Saxon Kates and am how you doing? Joe?
Speaker 7: Good morning, fellas, Thanks for having me on.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, yeah, I was out in.
Speaker 9: I was at home, uh, just watching the game. And uh,
Speaker 9: early in the broadcast they had said Bueler's in the bullpen,
Speaker 9: hanging around the bullpen, and he was dressed and ready
Speaker 9: to go. I said, Man, if things get out of hand,
Speaker 9: Buehler's coming in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it had to be the right situation. Joe
Speaker 1: appreciate the phone call. Sexually. They weren't going to bring
Speaker 1: him in in a game in which they were losing.
Speaker 1: It wasn't gonna be a situation. I think unless than
Speaker 1: they got to the ninth inning and it was tied.
Speaker 1: Then you go to Walker Bueller because you need him
Speaker 1: to start eating innings at that point, because he's the
Speaker 1: last man standing out of that bullpen for the Dodgers,
Speaker 1: is the only arm left that they can go to
Speaker 1: But as it worked out, they were able to take
Speaker 1: the lead in the eighth, And it was so key
Speaker 1: for Blake trying to get out of the aighth inning
Speaker 1: in order to make it a clean ninth for Walker
Speaker 1: Buehler to come in and pitch. It was huge. I mean,
Speaker 1: you can't say enough with about what Blake Trinon did
Speaker 1: ask to take the ball in back to back games
Speaker 1: in this World series, didn't pan out in the second
Speaker 1: time of that back to back, comes back after a
Speaker 1: game two performance last night and gives him two plus
Speaker 1: innings and gets them to the ninth. Is able to
Speaker 1: bridge that gap and get him to the final three out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we were talking about what would what would be
Speaker 3: a scenario where it was when we talk about all
Speaker 3: hands on deck, What would it be like for you know,
Speaker 3: one of the pitchers to get out there. What would
Speaker 3: it be like for you know, possibly a Walker Builler
Speaker 3: to you know, to close it down like Oral did
Speaker 3: when we played Well, we just saw it. That was
Speaker 3: the exact scenario played out, and he came out and
Speaker 3: shut it down. I mean, was there a sense of
Speaker 3: urgency or what when Doc went out and talked to
Speaker 3: trin And and that set up Walker, of course, and
Speaker 3: then here we go. This is this is gonna be,
Speaker 3: this is gonna go down in the ages. This was
Speaker 3: one of the best World Series I've watched, and this
Speaker 3: is the best Dodger team I've ever seen, no doubt
Speaker 3: about it.
Speaker 1: Wow, that says a lot. You've seen a lot of
Speaker 1: Dodger baseball and to see this group do what this
Speaker 1: did they did this year to call him the best ever, Yeah,
Speaker 1: pretty darn impressed, no question. Let's go to Nadia in

Speaker 1: So what do you think I transition, which I've already
Speaker 1: started doing into football mode working on the Raiders broadcast
Speaker 1: that started back in August with trade with training camp
Speaker 1: in three preseason games, and then kicking.
Speaker 3: Off this season.
Speaker 1: We're going into Week nine of the NFL this Sunday.
Speaker 1: I mean it kicks off I guess tonight with the
Speaker 1: Thursday night game with the Jets taking on I forever
Speaker 1: to forgot who they were employing. But nine nine, we're
Speaker 1: at the halfway point of the season in the NFL,
Speaker 1: and the World Series just ended last night.
Speaker 3: To me, that's crazy. It is halfway gone. Yeah, and Tim,
Speaker 3: I was going to try to, you know, kind of
Speaker 3: spring this on our listeners, but I'll just say it
Speaker 3: right now, Okay, I just you know, I think that
Speaker 3: doesn't have to be now. But we only have like
Speaker 3: a little over an hour left. And you know, Scam,
Speaker 3: which is you know, becoming a staple as far as
Speaker 3: I'm concerned, and you know our lives and you know,
Speaker 3: everywhere I went in LA, people say, man, you sent
Speaker 3: the video. You saw the videos I sent you? Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: it was awesome. People would just come up and say, hey,
Speaker 3: I listened to you and Kate's I love Scam. So
Speaker 3: I think we should have some vigil kind of music,
Speaker 3: you know, at the very end, maybe to say goodbye
Speaker 3: to Scam. Absolutely, you know, until until we meet again. Absolutely,
Speaker 3: and it's going to be sad. But I know Dan
Speaker 3: Patrick's probably saying, get the hell out of here. But
Speaker 3: oh yeah, you know what I mean. But but but
Speaker 3: until we you know, until we meet again, we can, uh,
Speaker 3: we can just say we had fun and let it
Speaker 3: be at that, you know what I mean, But we
Speaker 3: need we need to do it appropriately with.
Speaker 1: Some with some music, but not now we will do
Speaker 1: that next hour without a doubt. We will say goodbye
Speaker 1: as only scam can. You're on a f I seventy
Speaker 1: l A supports. Thanks should be impatient. All you Dodger
Speaker 1: fans who are waiting to celebrate with us, We appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Lenny in La Go ahead, Lenny, Lenny, go ahead, Lenny, Lenny.
Speaker 1: Do you hear me? We hear you talking, Lenny? Do
Speaker 1: you hear us? Lenny? All right now I got a chance, Lenny.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. We're moving on. Anthony in West Covina, Anthony,
Speaker 1: good morning, how you doing?
Speaker 11: Hey, good morning?
Speaker 7: How's it going guys?
Speaker 1: Fantastic? Where were you watching and listening last night? How
Speaker 1: excited are you for another World Series championship?
Speaker 3: Anthony?
Speaker 11: I was actually at work. We weren't getting much work done,
Speaker 11: but we were watching the game, and man, I just
Speaker 11: real quick. I was there in twenty seventeen when we
Speaker 11: lost to the ass Rods in Game seven, and how
Speaker 11: heartbreaking that was the whole stadium, man, grown man, crying
Speaker 11: and silent. You can hear a pin drop in that place.
Speaker 11: And then to lose the next year to the Red
Speaker 11: Sox and the Royal Series, and then to not get
Speaker 11: any credit for the twenty twenty championship. And you know,
Speaker 11: just to see Kershaw and Roberts out there and everybody
Speaker 11: always second guests in Roberts and questioning Kershaw's greatness, and
Speaker 11: to see them happy and celebrating. Man, it was awesome
Speaker 11: to see.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt, I'm glad you brought Clayton Kershaw's name, Anthony,
Speaker 1: and thanks for the phone call. Not being on the
Speaker 1: postseason roster, we kind of wondered, what will his role be,
Speaker 1: What will we see and here from Clayton Kershaw this
Speaker 1: October during this run. And I give him a lot
Speaker 1: of credit, Saxy. He's the leader of this team. He's
Speaker 1: the veteran of this team. He's going now seventeen years
Speaker 1: in the big leagues with the Dodgers. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer. He very easily could have just
Speaker 1: still been out the forefront.
Speaker 3: This is my team. I'm the guy. I'm gonna be
Speaker 3: out there speaking all the time.
Speaker 1: He very quietly just sort of faded away a little
Speaker 1: bit and let the guys who are performing day in
Speaker 1: and day out, the guy's going in and pitching, he
Speaker 1: let them get pushed to the front and said, I
Speaker 1: am not part of this team right now during this run.
Speaker 1: I'm here, I am technically a part of the team,
Speaker 1: but I'm not producing. I'm not playing. Let these guys
Speaker 1: get the shine. Let these guys get the attention. That
Speaker 1: says a lot about a guy who's considered one of
Speaker 1: the greatest ever to do.
Speaker 3: It, first ballot Hall of Famer and a lot of respects,
Speaker 3: not just as a player, but what kind of person
Speaker 3: he is Number one, number two. He was working but
Speaker 3: behind the scenes invaluable types of work, where he's talking
Speaker 3: to players, he's being an example. He's there and available,
Speaker 3: and those things are huge for a team. Now, he
Speaker 3: wasn't out there and you know, starring on the mound,
Speaker 3: but he was helping behind the scenes. I think if
Speaker 3: you ask any of those pitchers, including Walker Buehler, do
Speaker 3: you think Clayton Kershaw has had any effect on the
Speaker 3: fact that you were able to go out there perform
Speaker 3: like he did tonight. I will bet you my house
Speaker 3: that you're gonna get a great big of course, a
Speaker 3: giant affirmative of you know, he's been a big, big
Speaker 3: mark on my career and by watching him, talking to him,
Speaker 3: looking at his example no question, that's what he brings
Speaker 3: to the table.
Speaker 1: Yeah, without a doubt, He's been a huge factor with
Speaker 1: these young pitchers who even when Clayton Kershaw during the
Speaker 1: season was healthy, you would hear the river Ryan's and
Speaker 1: the land and knacks and the image sheans say, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I find myself down there watching his bullpen sessions, watching
Speaker 1: how he does his in between start routines. There you go,
Speaker 1: What does he do on a Tuesday in preparation for
Speaker 1: his next start on a Friday? What does he do
Speaker 1: on a Wednesday? How much does he run? How much
Speaker 1: does he throw? How much does he what time does
Speaker 1: he get to the ballpark? How much before first pitches?
Speaker 1: He dialed in in skyting reports, all those little things.
Speaker 1: They're just sitting there watching, absorbing like sponges.
Speaker 3: Oh, there's no doubt. And all Doc has to do
Speaker 3: is say, all this pitching staff, you know, starters, relievers,
Speaker 3: watch that guy, watch number twenty two. That's all you
Speaker 3: gotta that's all he's got to do, and that's taken
Speaker 3: care of. Just do what he does and you're gonna
Speaker 3: be great. I mean, and that's that's it. That's I mean,
Speaker 3: you have to have him in the organization. When he
Speaker 3: decides to retire, he's got to be a part of
Speaker 3: this organization. He's he's too good to just not have
Speaker 3: him there anymore. Yeah, you gotta have that guy there.
Speaker 1: You got to have him like Sandy, I think even
Speaker 1: more so. I mean, he's gonna want to step away
Speaker 1: and spend time with his young kids, which is great,
Speaker 1: But to have him back in spring training, to have
Speaker 1: him in like a Sandy Kofax did when you guys
Speaker 1: were at Vero Beach and the Don Drysdale's and the
Speaker 1: Dodger great to come back and mentor and and kind
Speaker 1: of pour into the young players in spring training and
Speaker 1: then come back throughout the season and maybe he goes
Speaker 1: as a roving instructor to help out the minor league
Speaker 1: pitchers at the different levels. I see that as a
Speaker 1: role for him, you know. Yeah, probably not at every
Speaker 1: day being out there as a pitching coach or around
Speaker 1: the ballpark every day. But I can certainly see Clayton
Speaker 1: Kershaw wanted to invest in young kids that are in
Speaker 1: this system.
Speaker 3: And it wouldn't be for any other reason than he
Speaker 3: wants to do it. That he loves it, and he
Speaker 3: loves the players and he wants to help. He certainly
Speaker 3: doesn't need the money. He's not gonna do it for that.
Speaker 3: He's gonna do it because he loves the game, and
Speaker 3: that's coming from a pure sense. Here we go and
Speaker 3: this just boom boom, Saxon Kate to the AM.
Speaker 1: One more hour to go. As the clock winds down
Speaker 1: on Saxon k to the A. What a magical run
Speaker 1: it's been here in twenty twenty four, A deep run
Speaker 1: into October. We start in October fourth, make our way
Speaker 1: to Halloween here on this October thirty first, as we
Speaker 1: get ready to flip the calendar in November tomorrow will
Speaker 1: be a day of celebration. More on that in the
Speaker 1: parade coming up. Your phone call is the final hour.
Speaker 1: Thanks for being with us, Saxon kateson AM here on
Speaker 1: your home of the twenty twenty four World Series Champion
Speaker 1: LA Dodgers
