Speaker 1: six ninety seven two five seventy. The city is a
Speaker 1: buzz in zaxy. Everybody's into the Dodgers.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 1: When I go get coffee in the in the kitchen
Speaker 1: here and we share a building here with seven radio
Speaker 1: stations FM stations KFI right down the hall, everybody is
Speaker 1: asking about the Dodgers, the FM morning hosts, everybody in between.
Speaker 1: The office is opening up and people are buzzing about
Speaker 1: the Dodgers, and it's it's great to have that buzz
Speaker 1: back here in Los Angeles. And I know they won
Speaker 1: a World Series in twenty twenty, but we didn't get
Speaker 1: to celebrate a championship parade. The last time there was
Speaker 1: a parade in the city for the Dodgers was nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty eight. And I think that's one of the big
Speaker 1: rallying crises. We want a parade. Wow, Yeah, that caps
Speaker 1: it off for sure. You have a parade. That's the
Speaker 1: stand up right there. So but you know what it's
Speaker 1: gonna be. It's gonna be tough because this Yankee team
Speaker 1: is stacked.
Speaker 5: We all know it. They've got guys on the team
Speaker 5: that are hot. I don't know anybody that's hotter right
Speaker 5: now than the middle of this lineup. Soto is just
Speaker 5: swinging about really really well. Fortunately right now Aaron Judge
Speaker 5: isn't and that's the one spot that you can maybe
Speaker 5: try to exploit. But you know it's not gonna last.
Speaker 5: Somebody's gonna have to pay for that. Hopefully it'll be
Speaker 5: next year and not in the next four games where
Speaker 5: the Dodgers can beat these guys. But it's gonna be
Speaker 5: a great series, I think.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be a lot of fun. Gen Carlos Stanton,
Speaker 1: who's from the eight one to eight, just a couple
Speaker 1: of minutes here from our studio, went to Notre Dame
Speaker 1: High School, and you know, everybody knows who he is.
Speaker 1: He's a local hero here, high school player and dominating
Speaker 1: in the major leagues and one of the best sluggers
Speaker 1: of the last ten years. He'll be returning back to
Speaker 1: southern California and playing at Dodger Stadium, so that'll be
Speaker 1: a big storyline going into this world series. You certainly
Speaker 1: got one Soto, no love lost between him and Dodger
Speaker 1: fans for his antics at the plates.
Speaker 5: It gets a bit tired, doesn't it. It gets tired. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I'm already tired of it, and I you know, you
Speaker 5: see when he's you know, nodding at the pitcher, don't
Speaker 5: you want to just thump that dude. I mean, you know,
Speaker 5: he's just got you know what, he's a really good
Speaker 5: hitter and all that. But man, save the stuff. Okay
Speaker 5: you're not, Babe, Ruth. Just save the stuff.
Speaker 1: Why doesn't anybody call him out on the shuffling of
Speaker 1: the feed nodding out?
Speaker 5: Yeah, approval like gets old really old fast. Well, you
Speaker 5: know what, I know, somebody would. I know a lot
Speaker 5: of guys that would have done it the first time
Speaker 5: he did that to him, Guys like Nolan Ryan, Danny Darwin,
Speaker 5: Dicky Knowles. I can just go on and name lots
Speaker 5: of them that would. Jerry Royce, I can tell you
Speaker 5: lots of guys that wouldn't stand for that.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a really good player, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 1: He is a guy who can change the game, and
Speaker 1: he quite literally did that winning the American League Championship
Speaker 1: with that home run late for the Yankees over the weekend.
Speaker 1: But yeah, the antics are I mean, I like I.
Speaker 5: Like I like it that he's gutsy and he's you know,
Speaker 5: he wants to get it on and all that. But
Speaker 5: but save the save the fluff man. Nobody wants to
Speaker 5: see that. No, And because you know you're not gonna
Speaker 5: do it every time. And when you don't, you know
Speaker 5: you're gonna get the You're gonna get it from the
Speaker 5: other side, because they're gonna say, hey, where's all the
Speaker 5: you know, the staring down and the nod and and what.
Speaker 5: He gets a bit tired. Hm wan.
Speaker 1: So he's he's a free agent at the end of
Speaker 1: this year.
Speaker 5: I believe, yes, is he not? He just gets some
Speaker 5: flat out d narrow There's no doubt about it. He's
Speaker 5: gonna get paid.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's only twenty five years old.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's done something. He does my gosh, it feels
Speaker 5: like he's been around for decade. If you look at
Speaker 5: it too. He's not a five tool player. There's no
Speaker 5: way this guy's a five tool player. He can hit,
Speaker 5: he's got power, you know, blow average runner, blow average defense.
Speaker 5: I mean, he's you know, he's he's a good offensive threat,
Speaker 5: especially in Yankee Stadium. He's not the same hitter out
Speaker 5: of Yankee Stadium, but he is. He is a threat.
Speaker 5: There's no question about it. But you know, he's not
Speaker 5: a five tool player.
Speaker 1: He actually turns twenty six years old on Friday, the
Speaker 1: day of Game one of the World Series. Juan Soto
Speaker 1: of the New York Yankees unbelievable. I mean, is he
Speaker 1: if he if he's he Let's see, who's a three
Speaker 1: hundred Manny Machado's a three hundred million dollar player. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Shoe Otani is a seven hundred million dollar player, and
Speaker 1: certainly he's different. He can pitch as well. Juan Soto
Speaker 1: five hundred million dollars.
Speaker 5: Well, I wouldn't have thought that before. You know, he
Speaker 5: went to New York. When he went to New York,
Speaker 5: he's he became way better. I mean he just did.
Speaker 5: Playing in that ballpark, playing around guys that can really
Speaker 5: hit makes you a better hitter, and that's great. So
Speaker 5: his his uh, you know, his worth is going to
Speaker 5: go up significantly. Playing on a team that's very, very
Speaker 5: offensively talented and that's where he is. It's made him
Speaker 5: a better hitter, and you know, he capitalized on it.
Speaker 5: He did it, so he gets all that credit, you know,
Speaker 5: and he's gonna get paid. Yeah, probably maybe over four
Speaker 5: hundred million. Corey Seeger ten years three twenty five. Bryce
Speaker 5: Harper got thirteen years, three hundred and thirty million dollars.
Speaker 5: But that was five years ago. Aaron Judge nine years,
Speaker 5: three hundred and sixty million dollars. That's that's a good
Speaker 5: deal now for the team right.
Speaker 1: Already, that feels like a bargain. That's a bargain when
Speaker 1: you think about what he can bring to this team
Speaker 1: and then show Heo Tani ten years, seven hundred million dollars. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it kind of feels like that four hundred million dollar range. Yeah,
Speaker 1: for a twenty six year old free agent this offseason.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not thirty, he's not twenty eight, just
Speaker 1: turning twenty six.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you think that Yankees are gonna sign him? I mean,
Speaker 5: do you think you're gonna They're gonna be in the
Speaker 5: sweep sakes? Remember, there's only a few teams that can
Speaker 5: that can take this guy because they can't afford him.
Speaker 5: You know, the Braves could probably do it, the Yankees,
Speaker 5: the Dodger. I don't know if the Dodgers they got
Speaker 5: so much on their plate right now, but you know,
Speaker 5: there's maybe San Diego back there. I don't know, there's
Speaker 5: there's some teams that that can there's a lot lot
Speaker 5: of teams most teams can't. There's probably a handful in
Speaker 5: the can.
Speaker 1: Right, And when you think about there's not a lot
Speaker 1: of teams that have that kind of money, four hundred
Speaker 1: million dollars for just one player.
Speaker 5: Pittsburgh and Kansas City aren't going to be sweepstakes. You
Speaker 5: know that Oakland's not going to be in the sweep sakes.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw it in. A name that might be
Speaker 1: a team is the New York Mets. Steve Cohen's got
Speaker 1: money that he just prints. Yeah, he's got he wants
Speaker 1: to win.
Speaker 5: I mean he can instantly go down the street and
Speaker 5: buy a you know, a brand new Porsche just from
Speaker 5: what he finds in his couch cushion, right, I mean
Speaker 5: that's in that something. When you have that kind of
Speaker 5: you have that kind of scratch, you can do that. Yeah,
Speaker 5: he could afford it. He could do it, and you know,
Speaker 5: you never know, they might be in the sweepstakes. Wouldn't
Speaker 5: it be great? Because the Mets and the Yankees are
Speaker 5: always trying to vibe for the back page of the
Speaker 5: sports you know, they want to be on the cover,
Speaker 5: and so they're constant and the and the Mets were
Speaker 5: always the step child of the Yankees, but not anymore.
Speaker 5: The Mets are right there with them now.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just thinking down the road, Juan Soto
Speaker 1: in a few years, maybe you're moving to first. You
Speaker 1: give them a lucrative deal, him and Lindor in that
Speaker 1: lineup together. I mean, pen A Lonzo's a free agent.
Speaker 1: Would you rather have Pee Alonzo or Juan Soto for
Speaker 1: the next five to ten years.
Speaker 5: I mean, there's another guy that's gonna let walk. I mean,
Speaker 5: Alonzo's gonna walk, He's gonna get some He's gonna get
Speaker 5: paid too. You know, the guy's a legitimate middle of
Speaker 5: the order run producer, and you know he's, uh, he's
Speaker 5: gonna get paid. So, you know, not not in the
Speaker 5: range of Soto, but he's gonna get some donuts, no doubt.
Speaker 1: Coming up, we're gonna hear from the dogs, the bullpen
Speaker 1: of this Dodgers team, which has now deemed themselves the
Speaker 1: bullpen Dogs for what they've done in September and now October,
Speaker 1: closing out games, starting games, bullpen games, everything in between.
Speaker 1: So we'll hear from Daniel Hudson and Play Trying, and
Speaker 1: coming up, we'll hear from shoey Otani as well, next hour,
Speaker 1: David Vass joins us and you're not gonna miss it.
Speaker 1: At eight o'clock, Maximunsey and Brent Honeywell Junior one on
Speaker 1: one with David Vass. What is an epic interview. Let's
Speaker 1: go to no in Silmar.
Speaker 6: Yeah, no way, no way, go ahead, guys. I'm happy
Speaker 6: to hear you guys last the last couple of years.
Speaker 6: We got about a week, you know, and then you
Speaker 6: guys were gone right to go back to Dan. But
Speaker 6: I've gotta hear what's gonna go on? What's gonna happen
Speaker 6: on Friday? Because the starting pitching, because I'm i mean,
Speaker 6: as good as the bullpens bit the dogs. I just
Speaker 6: you know, eighty eight World Series, Tommy only use seven
Speaker 6: pitchers in the whole World Series. You know, of course
Speaker 6: vershas are you know, two complete games? But what do
Speaker 6: you think is gonna start? What are they doing on Friday?
Speaker 1: All right, appreciate the phone call. NOI I would imagine
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Yoshinobu Yamamoto obviously extended rest, but going
Speaker 1: into a seven game series, saxye, you probably want to
Speaker 1: get him twice, and that means Game one and game
Speaker 1: six or seven if it goes that far into a series.
Speaker 1: That way, you use him early and you can use
Speaker 1: them late. That's probably the best way because he's the
Speaker 1: one guy that needs to extended rest.
Speaker 5: And yeah, and he's shown that he can do it,
Speaker 5: but I would have liked to see him stretch a
Speaker 5: bit other than four or five innings. I need to
Speaker 5: see this dude go in there in the seventh inning.
Speaker 5: I'd like to see that. And so you don't tax
Speaker 5: that bullpen because one of these days you're gonna need
Speaker 5: a You're gonna need a bullpen game at least one,
Speaker 5: I think, and that's uh, you're gonna need these guys.
Speaker 5: So I want to see my starter. I'm want to see.
Speaker 5: I want to see Yoshi go there and maybe go
Speaker 5: seven innings. Wouldn't it be great?
Speaker 1: That would be phenomenal. And it's not something he has
Speaker 1: not done already this year, because he did do it
Speaker 1: against the New York Yankees right before he got hurt
Speaker 1: and got up put on the shelf for three months
Speaker 1: with the shoulder injury. On a Friday night in the
Speaker 1: Bronx June seventh, he went in there and threw seven
Speaker 1: shutout innings, scattered two hits, struck out seven, walked to
Speaker 1: and threw one hundred and six pitches. Now, some think
Speaker 1: that that was it his shoulder win after that, because
Speaker 1: he came out of the next game against the Royals
Speaker 1: after two innings and twenty eight pitches and then missed
Speaker 1: three months. But he can do it.
Speaker 5: He can do it. He showed it.
Speaker 1: He can do it against the Yankees in the Bronx
Speaker 1: back in June. So yeah, it's it's definitely a possibility.
Speaker 5: Let's go to one. You're you're gonna need Flairty to
Speaker 5: really step it up this next time. Do some shoving. Okay,
Speaker 5: quit Sorry.
Speaker 1: I've in in rialto is next up. I've been good morning.
Speaker 1: How you doing.
Speaker 7: How's it going fellas the morning? Great morning, Dodgers are
Speaker 7: in the World Series. Hey, I'll give it up to
Speaker 7: Tommy Edman. I love him, Man, But how about Mookie
Speaker 7: Betts waking up in this Championship series. I think I've
Speaker 7: seen the statline seven for his last fourteen. Man, he
Speaker 7: was on a cold streak and he deserves some props, man.
Speaker 7: And I'm excited for Friday. Let's go Dodgers.
Speaker 1: All right, I've appreciated I don't think, you know, Mookie
Speaker 1: doesn't get the instant love right away for the NLCS
Speaker 1: he had, and he was huge in this series against
Speaker 1: the Mets because I think Dodger fans expected. I mean,
Speaker 1: you're paid to produce, You're considered one of the greatest
Speaker 1: players in baseball right now, You're supposed to do this, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, this is what you're supposed to do.
Speaker 5: But you know what, all that talk is so far gone,
Speaker 5: doesn't seem like forever. And then, oh, when's Mookie gonna
Speaker 5: get a you know, get off the snide and get
Speaker 5: this thing done. That's gone now. You don't hear any
Speaker 5: And he's relaxed now, he's you know, every time he
Speaker 5: comes up, he's hitting a bolt now. So those days
Speaker 5: are long gone. I think Mooky's gonna shine in this year,
Speaker 5: in this series, no question.
Speaker 1: Brad Marina del Rey gotta be lovely there on this
Speaker 1: Monday morning, even better than now. The Dodgers are going
Speaker 1: to the World Series. How you doing, Brad?
Speaker 8: Absolutely, Good morning, Timmy, Good morning, Steve. We're down there
Speaker 8: a little long off with the dog. I'm saying this morning,
Speaker 8: what a beautiful day. The ocean looks pink, the sky
Speaker 8: is beautiful, beautiful Dodger blue. Wow. Man, you know, in
Speaker 8: a year where I listened to people on Twitter telling
Speaker 8: me we were going to finish third and not make
Speaker 8: the playoffs, in a year when everybody had an injury
Speaker 8: and poor Freddy and his kid and all of that
Speaker 8: kind of stuff, and here we are, best record in baseball,
Speaker 8: won the Division one, the Pennant, sitting here and gonna
Speaker 8: go face the Yankees. And gosh, boy, do I have
Speaker 8: memories of that nineteen seventy seven, nineteen seventy eight, sitting
Speaker 8: there with my dad, Bob Welts, straking out Richie Jackson.
Speaker 8: So in eighty one when we finally got over on them,
Speaker 8: and wow, this is super, super exciting. And just like
Speaker 8: Randy said, I hate New York City.
Speaker 9: It's cold and.
Speaker 8: It's damped, and the people all dressed like monkeys. So
Speaker 8: this is our year, you guys, go Dodgers.
Speaker 5: All right. He Brad summed it up. I mean, you
Speaker 5: know he summed it up with the sentiment is by
Speaker 5: a lot of people, right, That's what baseball brings out,
Speaker 5: and it's great. So it Brad summed it up.
Speaker 1: It is fantastic. There's certainly a buzz in the air
Speaker 1: on this Monday morning, Eric and you Kaipa. You're filling
Speaker 1: the buzz as the Dodgers are going back to the
Speaker 1: World Series. Good morning Eric, Hey.
Speaker 6: Good morning God.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm feeling it. I'm feeling the buzz. Uh just
Speaker 10: want to hear prompts to back say and a monkey
Speaker 10: for the interview. That was awesome. They kind of showed
Speaker 10: that they're human and and they go through all these emotions.
Speaker 9: That's really cool.
Speaker 10: At how tight they are. And Saxy, I had a
Speaker 10: question for you. What were you thinking when you were
Speaker 10: on deck?
Speaker 4: You were one walk.
Speaker 10: Away from coming up to bat in eighty eight? What
Speaker 10: was your approach? What were you thinking?
Speaker 4: Uh, thank you guys.
Speaker 5: I'll try I'll make it real short. I'll tell you
Speaker 5: what I was thinking. I was thinking, I got to
Speaker 5: figure out a way to get a hit and so
Speaker 5: we win the game. And then when Gibby had the
Speaker 5: click of the bat, I thought, Hm, I don't have
Speaker 5: to worry about that anymore because that Paul is out
Speaker 5: of here. And so it was it was, you know,
Speaker 5: just planning out, trying to be business like, and then
Speaker 5: I didn't have to worry about it. Then I can
Speaker 5: go act like a nut and jump around everywhere? And
Speaker 5: I did.
Speaker 1: Were you thinking about all the things that Eckersley can
Speaker 1: do in the game plan and the scouting reports that
Speaker 1: that game that they gave you, because I mean we
Speaker 1: always hearing about how Gibby, you know, stepped out of
Speaker 1: the box and kept thinking about the game plan and
Speaker 1: the approach and with the scouts told him about the
Speaker 1: back door slider there against the left. He obviously you're
Speaker 1: a right handed hitter.
Speaker 5: Bart.
Speaker 1: Are you going through your mind scenarios and what he's
Speaker 1: going to throw to you? And if you come up
Speaker 1: in with the you know, in this situation, what he
Speaker 1: might try to challenge you with.
Speaker 5: Yes, and different, different, you know, different strategy than Gibbee.
Speaker 5: Of course, my strategy was to be very aggressive on
Speaker 5: him from first pitch on because he's gonna come at you,
Speaker 5: and you know he has good stuff, so you don't
Speaker 5: want to let somebody like that throw a cookie in
Speaker 5: there and get a strike on you. I was going
Speaker 5: to be hacking as soon as I got into the box.
Speaker 5: It's gonna be ready to hit and try to drive
Speaker 5: it right back at him.
Speaker 1: He is Steve Sacks, Siam, Tim Kates and Saxon Kates
Speaker 1: and the AM on this Monday morning, as we celebrate
Speaker 1: the Dodgers winning the NL Championship with a win over
Speaker 1: the New York match last night. Now it's on to
Speaker 1: another New York team is Showdown in the World Series

Speaker 1: You're gonna hear his interview with macni and Brent Honeywell Junior.
Speaker 1: Absolutely fantastic. You're not gonna want to miss it. That
Speaker 1: is coming up at eight o'clock. Your phone calls in
Speaker 1: just a second, Saxy. The Dodgers' bullpen have started calling
Speaker 1: themselves the dogs, and they're the bullpen Dogs. And it's
Speaker 1: a group that is not worried about ego. It's a
Speaker 1: group we've talked about. They don't care about their role.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm a closer, I'm an eighth inning guy,
Speaker 1: I'm a middle reliever. No, they have thrown the rolls
Speaker 1: out the window. All they care about is if their
Speaker 1: name is called. They want to be that dog who
Speaker 1: comes out of the gate. That's all they care about.
Speaker 1: And it's it's kind of refreshing to see this a
Speaker 1: group of guys who come together and realize we are
Speaker 1: a very important part of this team because of the
Speaker 1: lack of starting pitching and to go out there and
Speaker 1: they don't care if it to Michael Kopek getting the
Speaker 1: first inning, or if he's closing out the ninth inning,
Speaker 1: if Evan Phillips is pitching the third or he's closing
Speaker 1: out a game. This bullpen, I mean, I don't think
Speaker 1: I've ever seen anything like it. The fact that they've
Speaker 1: just put their egos at the door, and their past
Speaker 1: and their roles and just kind of set them to
Speaker 1: the side and said, whatever you need in me, I'll do.
Speaker 5: This is the signature that they're putting on this particular
Speaker 5: role on the team. It's absolutely brilliant. I've seen it before,
Speaker 5: I lived it. I saw it in real time. And
Speaker 5: that's when in eighty eight we had guys that were
Speaker 5: on the bench that had were role players that wo
Speaker 5: had to step up with, guys that were hurt very
Speaker 5: much like we see right now. They were called the Stuntmen.
Speaker 5: You remember the Stuntman. Yeah, Mickey Hatcher was the leader
Speaker 5: of the Stuntmen and had all this band of guys
Speaker 5: that kind of took on their own identity. It got
Speaker 5: to grow so much that they were doing these little
Speaker 5: stories on each stunt man. That's how much this thing grew.
Speaker 5: And I got to tell you, without the stuntmen, we
Speaker 5: don't win the World Series. That's how valuable these guys
Speaker 5: could be. Now. The dogs that they're calling themselves are
Speaker 5: it's a great name. It's almost like, you know, the
Speaker 5: guys that when they took on the identity before another
Speaker 5: team's where they'd bring their lunch pail. Guys were bringing
Speaker 5: lunch pails, yeah, you know, to the ballpark because they
Speaker 5: were workmen. They were work like and they would bring
Speaker 5: their lunch pail to work and just do the job.
Speaker 5: And that's what the dogs do now, just you know,
Speaker 5: just like those sloppy dogs. Give them a chance, give
Speaker 5: them a bone, and they're happy and they'll go and
Speaker 5: they'll just tear it up. And it's a great identity.
Speaker 5: When I was with the White Sox at the end
Speaker 5: of my career, we had guys on the team that
Speaker 5: had an identity like that and they were called the Hogs. Okay,
Speaker 5: there was hogs on the team. You had hogs dogs
Speaker 5: and you know whatever. But whatever you can do to
Speaker 5: to further that and make it a real thing and
Speaker 5: make it relevant on the teams. That's a brilliant move.
Speaker 5: I love the dogs, and you know you're gonna see
Speaker 5: signs now at Dodger Stadium where people are talking about
Speaker 5: the dogs. Great move.
Speaker 1: I love it. Let's hear from one of the dogs
Speaker 1: post game last night, Daniel Hudson with David Vasse here.
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, we got one of the dogs, Daniel Hudson
Speaker 11: and another dog and not a dog man born a
Speaker 11: thorn there.
Speaker 12: Let's go.
Speaker 2: Oh j J.
Speaker 11: Hernandez loves it. Daniel Hudson, you are truly a champion.
Speaker 11: Help this team and help the people for you and
Speaker 11: the rest of those relievers.
Speaker 1: What did tonight need to hal of you?
Speaker 3: No? I mean.
Speaker 13: It, baby, anyway, they said one of those of drink blase.
Speaker 11: Daniel Hudson needs to regroup. The eyes aren't as great
Speaker 11: as they used to be.
Speaker 13: I mean, we knew it was what was in front
Speaker 13: of us right there. Man, We knew going into it
Speaker 13: and we're gonna made a dog fight right there. And uh,
Speaker 13: we just wanted to go out there and Starry built
Speaker 13: some zeros. You know, they put some really good at
Speaker 13: bats together there those middle innings there, and we got
Speaker 13: out of trouble.
Speaker 1: So you know, it was awesome to just keep handing
Speaker 1: the baton off the next guy.
Speaker 11: It's hard to single out one single reliever because you
Speaker 11: can do it together. But what can you say about
Speaker 11: Blake trying to.
Speaker 13: Blake's Blake's been unbelievable the last you know, for three
Speaker 13: months for us, he's been on a heater.
Speaker 1: Man, we're gonna ride that high hand all the way
Speaker 1: toward championship.
Speaker 11: Man, you and Blake had long roads back to be here.
Speaker 11: How good does the bird feel for Daniel Hudson after
Speaker 11: the last two years.
Speaker 1: No, it feels great.
Speaker 13: Blake and I unfortunately, you know, we spent a lot
Speaker 13: of time together last not unfortunately I spent time with Blake,
Speaker 13: but we spent time together at Cailback Ranch last couple
Speaker 13: of years. So no, for us, you know, go out
Speaker 13: there and get those last nine outs for us, that's
Speaker 13: that's awesome.
Speaker 7: Man.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm really proud of both of us.
Speaker 11: Before I let one of the dogs go, when did
Speaker 11: this whole identity come about?
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 1: He's a good question.
Speaker 13: We just I think it started with the bullpend games
Speaker 13: there late later in the year. We're just like, hey, man,
Speaker 13: don't let those dogs out of the cage down there.
Speaker 13: You know, we're down there in that cage. Go let
Speaker 13: us out, and we're gonna go out there and rip
Speaker 13: some people's faces off.
Speaker 2: Yeah you did.
Speaker 11: Thanks Daniel Hudson. I'll probably Oh man, that's a mad
Speaker 11: strength right there. Oh thank you, Daddy, hot t Hello.
Speaker 1: I love it, Davids say, one of a kind.
Speaker 5: See guys coming to the stadium with leashes now, oh yeah,
Speaker 5: and and you know, let the dogs out of the cage.
Speaker 2: You know what.
Speaker 5: It reminds me of the member Saturday Night Live when
Speaker 5: they when I think it was Dana Carvey did the
Speaker 5: thing with Julio Iglesias to when he'd sing the song
Speaker 5: to all of the gutters I've loved before, and then
Speaker 5: he was he was actually goat Boy.
Speaker 1: Remember goat Boy, Yeah.
Speaker 5: Who traveled in and out out of the door.
Speaker 1: And the goat would come out.
Speaker 5: That was hilarious. So I think they should do something
Speaker 5: like that when they're doing an interview talk and then
Speaker 5: all of a sudden start you know, start the barking thing.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean it'd go a long way. It's
Speaker 1: like it would be almost like Goat Boy. I think
Speaker 1: the Dodger's pavilion can get it going. As soon as
Speaker 1: that gate opens up.
Speaker 5: Just start barking like dogs, I mean, bringing leashes and stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I love it.
Speaker 1: Let's hear from another Dodger reliever. He mentioned Blake trying,
Speaker 1: and he and Daniel Hudson spent the last two years
Speaker 1: on the injured list for the most part rehabbing, and
Speaker 1: here they are two grizzled Vets and they got the
Speaker 1: final night outs last night. You just heard from a Hodey.
Speaker 1: Let's hear from Blake trying last night? Who got the
Speaker 1: final six outs in the safe?
Speaker 11: My god, Blake trying and doing things that we have
Speaker 11: never seen from another reliever in a long time.
Speaker 2: How does this feel?
Speaker 5: Take it good?
Speaker 13: It's just really kind of fun to go out there and.
Speaker 5: Get a little final out.
Speaker 2: It's a true gift and a blessing for an honor
Speaker 2: to be a Dodger.
Speaker 1: We're going to the World Series. What a cool What
Speaker 1: a cool moment's gonna be for.
Speaker 11: Baseball fans, to the Veggas and most story franchises in
Speaker 11: this of the game.
Speaker 8: I'm excited.
Speaker 1: Blake six out saved.
Speaker 11: There's not too many guys that could do that. What
Speaker 11: does it mean to you to hand you try, I cannot.
Speaker 1: I'll blink a couple.
Speaker 11: Of times, Blake.
Speaker 1: But that's about it, all right.
Speaker 14: I think the biggest thing is just making sure that
Speaker 14: were you our job.
Speaker 2: With the rule with you too.
Speaker 9: And I don't have a lot of words.
Speaker 5: I just do one. That's awesome, I'm about you. One
Speaker 5: he just wanted to drench me.
Speaker 1: Just be honest. Well that you just wanted to pour
Speaker 1: all that on me. I'll be honest.
Speaker 15: I did.
Speaker 1: Hey, great colored choice of sure.
Speaker 11: Day, get Blake trying to six out Sake.
Speaker 2: I'll take it from your bay.
Speaker 5: That's that's what it's about.
Speaker 1: David's wearing a white polo last night.
Speaker 5: David, when we said how handsome he is and how
Speaker 5: debonair and yeah, he's he's even getting he's getting getting
Speaker 5: some some props from the team. That's pretty good.
Speaker 1: Well, he travels with them. He's the embedded reporter. You know,
Speaker 1: a lot of the Beat riders will all across him too. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: and that's good. Absolutely, Hey, Tim, I gotta I gotta.
Speaker 5: Do this real quick. But if it's okay, yeah, I
Speaker 5: I I got to give quick a quick shout out
Speaker 5: to to my friend David Madrigal and and Jonas wrangled
Speaker 5: these guys down in the eight one to eight. Uh,
Speaker 5: they are huge fans, and they're they're already buying in.
Speaker 5: They're already buying into the the whole dog thing, the barking,
Speaker 5: the leashes. This could be a movement, uh, you know,
Speaker 5: for for the uh, for the Dodgers here, having those
Speaker 5: dogs break out of the pen. I mean that's a
Speaker 5: great thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we can get some dog mask in
Speaker 1: this Halloween season. Maybe some of the guys in the pavilion,
Speaker 1: gals out there in the pavilion can wear some dog
Speaker 1: mask and start barking and put a leash around one
Speaker 1: of them and go crazy and start intimidating the outfielders
Speaker 1: out there from the Yankees and barking at Soto in
Speaker 1: right field, barking out at you know, and Aaron Judge
Speaker 1: in the outfield as well. Just get after these.
Speaker 5: Get some things canisters that look like flea repellent that
Speaker 5: they can next to the other team is the fleece.
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, there's there's all kinds of things.
Speaker 1: You could be rabid dogs out there just barking at
Speaker 1: the Yankee players.
Speaker 5: They could say they could they could have shirts that say, yes,
Speaker 5: I have rabies.
Speaker 1: Eight six, seven, five seventy Larry and Pasadena Big Tim
Speaker 1: Kates fan wants to join us here on a FI
Speaker 1: seventy I Sports. How you doing, Larry doing good man?
Speaker 1: How you doing this morning?
Speaker 12: Go ahead up, Larry, Yo, Tim Kates. I gotta let
Speaker 12: you know, man, I listened to Dodger Talk yesterday and
Speaker 12: I was listening to you, and I'm like, man, this
Speaker 12: guy is throwing some major shade on the on Dave
Speaker 12: Roberts and how he manages a bullpen. But you have
Speaker 12: to give it up to him. He did his job,
Speaker 12: he executed his plan, and he stayed two to his boys.
Speaker 12: His boys trusted, and he did a great job. And
Speaker 12: that's why we're going to the World Series.
Speaker 1: So doubt about Hilarry. I was very critical Dave Roberts
Speaker 1: after Game five on Friday, but let's be honest, everybody was.
Speaker 1: And I think it's fair to point out that I
Speaker 1: didn't like them going to who they did in that
Speaker 1: third inning and after Jack Flarry really got lit up.
Speaker 1: What was a must win game for the Dodgers and
Speaker 1: a chance to close it out on Friday, and you
Speaker 1: let the game balloon it away.
Speaker 5: From too much. I remember you you were like in that.
Speaker 5: But you know what, you're a professional, tim and you
Speaker 5: you've got to let out your professional opinion. You put
Speaker 5: aside the personal you know, like likings or animus, whatever
Speaker 5: you may be of the individual, and you give out
Speaker 5: your personal real professional, professional, you know, attitude in what
Speaker 5: you think, and that's that's what you do. That's why
Speaker 5: you are in the situation in one of the biggest
Speaker 5: markets in the country, because you know, you got that
Speaker 5: kind of cloud.
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. I think I think it's fair to
Speaker 1: be able to criticize when you think something needs to
Speaker 1: be criticized. But at the same time, we spent the
Speaker 1: last hour and thirty five minutes praising Dave Roberts and
Speaker 1: talking about all the right moves that he made, and
Speaker 1: quite frankly, it's the guys have to go out and
Speaker 1: execute well.
Speaker 5: You always give a very well thought out coaching argument
Speaker 5: and people respect you on either side of that.
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Yeah, I appreciate that. I admit I
Speaker 1: got after Dave Roberts on Friday on postgame Dodger Talk.
Speaker 1: A lot of Dodger fans felt the same way. Everybody
Speaker 1: I talked to on Saturday and Sunday felt the same way.
Speaker 1: Why did he do what he did? How did come
Speaker 1: Jack Flirty staying there as long as they did? Why
Speaker 1: don't they go to the bullpen to kind of keep
Speaker 1: it at a three to one game, keep it at
Speaker 1: a five to one game. It got to eight one
Speaker 1: and it kind of got out of hand and kind
Speaker 1: of felt like they were just looking ahead the game six. Hey,
Speaker 1: we were critical of him, yeah, but this morning we
Speaker 1: praised him. We praised the bullpend, the dogs out the
Speaker 1: bullpen for what they did last night, putting together the
Speaker 1: twenty seven outs that they did. Yeah, from uh, I
Speaker 1: mean got like Ben Casparius. Actually, Ben Caspirius is a prospective.
Speaker 1: Now he's a puppy, yes, okay, but still he's a puppy.
Speaker 1: But still he's part of that.
Speaker 5: He's part of the litter.
Speaker 1: That's right, I mean, you know, right, we have to
Speaker 1: put the paper out for Ben Casparius because we're still
Speaker 1: potty training them as one of those dogs out there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and the older guys can have shirts made like
Speaker 5: don't don't bark up my tree, you know, things like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like Trina and Hudson are like dogs when the
Speaker 1: mailman walks by. They're just too old to bark at him.
Speaker 1: It's like, hey, we know he's good people. He's here
Speaker 1: to do his job, so we're not going to bark
Speaker 1: at him. But these young guys like Landing Neck and Casparious,
Speaker 1: but they're all puppies barking at the mailman still so
Speaker 1: that you can train them, yeah, absolutely, And they're getting
Speaker 1: trained right now, and they are. They are coming through
Speaker 1: for this Dodgers team in the postseason. Matthew and Riverside
Speaker 1: next up on Saxon Kate's and the am as the
Speaker 1: Dodgers a punch their ticket for the World Series. How
Speaker 1: you doing, Matthew?
Speaker 2: Yo?
Speaker 7: Yo?
Speaker 1: Get got you going with you?
Speaker 15: Hey man?
Speaker 4: H three words for y'all. World Series bound. And I
Speaker 4: wanted to give us the midsight. I was there in
Speaker 4: twenty fifteen Game fives, which is the mess where we
Speaker 4: had lost at home, and that was that was heartbreaking.
Speaker 4: And they get over these Mets and the championship series.
Speaker 8: It's sweet.
Speaker 4: It's sweet. I was expecting this, happy for them, and
Speaker 4: so another thing about Dave Roberts in the game game
Speaker 4: I was thinking about it and I think when Dave
Speaker 4: Roberts was and the staff was trying to do what
Speaker 4: was and that because if if they would have won
Speaker 4: that game in Game five and the Yankee finishing their series,
Speaker 4: the World Series would have been pushed up.
Speaker 16: So hey, what if?
Speaker 2: What if?
Speaker 3: What if?
Speaker 4: They want to take a step back? They wanted to
Speaker 4: extra rest, and hey, you know what, they did give
Speaker 4: up that game in a way. So I was thinking
Speaker 4: about that and wanted to share that with y'ell.
Speaker 1: I appreciate, Well, be careful there. Matthew kind of feels
Speaker 1: like overthinking it a little bit. I mean, you want
Speaker 1: to win. You don't want to, you know, leave a
Speaker 1: door open for a team to get back into his series,
Speaker 1: because the Dodgers had that happen to him in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty in the NLCS, they were down three games to
Speaker 1: one to the Atlanta Braves. The door remained open, they
Speaker 1: forced a game seven, and they come back and win
Speaker 1: a seven game series down three games to one. So
Speaker 1: I don't maybe, Matthew, I appreciate, I think you're kind
Speaker 1: of overthinking a little bit. You don't want to start thinking, well,
Speaker 1: how many days rest if we win today, if we
Speaker 1: win tomorrow, we get this many days, not just win.
Speaker 5: Get in there. Hey, you know what it's you're down
Speaker 5: in the red zone. You're playing against you know your rival,
Speaker 5: and there's a minute and forty left, you're up by
Speaker 5: three points. You know what you do? You score the touchdown.
Speaker 5: You don't milk the clock. What if you don't get in,
Speaker 5: You score the touchdown, right, same thing here, You do
Speaker 5: whatever you can to get in. Now they're there. You
Speaker 5: worry about all that the stuff on the periphery afterwards,
Speaker 5: but they're there now. This is this is what everybody wanted.
Speaker 5: And now it's go time.
Speaker 1: Roxanna Granada Hills here in the eight one eighth, Roxanna,
Speaker 1: Good morning, Dodgers going back to the World serious.
Speaker 17: Yes they are.
Speaker 10: Good morning, A great thing to see.
Speaker 17: Good morning.
Speaker 8: How are you good?
Speaker 5: Thanks?
Speaker 17: Yeah, it's just a great thing. It's just a great
Speaker 17: thing to see the Dodgers back in the World Series,
Speaker 17: especially against the Yankees, especially now after their latest win
Speaker 17: in twenty twenty. You know, everybody you know saw them win,
Speaker 17: and it's like here we are again, and let's do it,
Speaker 17: you know, starting Friday, and I'm excited and I know
Speaker 17: everybody's excited.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Roxanna, who do you fear when they go up
Speaker 5: against the New York Yankees? What's the what's the bad
Speaker 5: nemesis over there in New York that you kind of
Speaker 5: are afraid of?
Speaker 12: Soto?
Speaker 17: Definitely Soto. But I think our pictures are going to
Speaker 17: be able to face him without fear.
Speaker 2: You know, that.
Speaker 17: Toroal mentality or bull mentality that he comes to the
Speaker 17: played with, you know, his feet, his stands, his body language.
Speaker 17: I think our pictures are gonna be able to see
Speaker 17: past that and uh and be able to get through
Speaker 17: to him and pitch to him and you know, and
Speaker 17: do well against him.
Speaker 5: Well, his body language isn't gonna scare anybody. I can
Speaker 5: guarantee you.
Speaker 17: That it's all flu right right, Yeah, like dealer. Yeah,
Speaker 17: they're not falling for that.
Speaker 1: Well tired, Roxanda, appreciate the phone call. Everybody's excited. Great
Speaker 1: to hear you're fired up about the Dodgers making a
Speaker 1: return to the World Series. Girardo in Linn Wood is
Speaker 1: next up.
Speaker 8: Good morning, Good morning.
Speaker 1: Now guy's doing doing fantastic yeap.
Speaker 9: My question is, I'm how affected do you think Fredie
Speaker 9: Freeman is going to be in the World Series with
Speaker 9: the injury and also do you think Nax should be
Speaker 9: in the postseason roster? I mean in the roster.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna find out in the next couple of days. Gerardo. Also,
Speaker 1: you're gonna hear from Freddy Freeman coming up after our
Speaker 1: next break. But yeah, the roster putting together here for
Speaker 1: the World Series is gonna take some thinking, and I
Speaker 1: feel like they're gonna have to wait really until Friday
Speaker 1: morning where they have to submit that to Major League
Speaker 1: Baseball to ultimately decide on twenty six players Sactually, because
Speaker 1: last night Andrew Freeman said, Bruce dar graderol really could
Speaker 1: be back. Yeah, Alex Vesia, good shot, he's back for
Speaker 1: the World Series. That's two bullpen spots. Those are two
Speaker 1: arms that if you bring back, which two arms go away?
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you can't have twenty eight guys on
Speaker 1: the rosters. It's only twenty six.
Speaker 5: Yeah. You know what bro Imo about chemistry and what's
Speaker 5: working and what they got now is working. It's not
Speaker 5: to say, hey, we need Freddy Freeman out there. You
Speaker 5: know we still do. But you know what, I think
Speaker 5: Vesia would be the first guy I would say, because
Speaker 5: you need it on the left side, So he'd probably
Speaker 5: be the first guy i'd bring back.
Speaker 1: And I think I mean unfortunately Land and Neck. If
Speaker 1: you're started looking at arms down there, Landonna's probably the
Speaker 1: arm that you you don't need. If you're gonna have
Speaker 1: a Bret Honeywell as a middle reliever, they can give
Speaker 1: you some depth. If you bring back Alex Vesia, I mean,
Speaker 1: Ben can. I mean, I can't believe I'm saying this,
Speaker 1: but the way he's pitched in October, Yeah, how do
Speaker 1: you tell him you're not on the roster for the
Speaker 1: World Series. I know he wasn't on the DS roster,
Speaker 1: but what he did in the Cus? Yeah, how do
Speaker 1: you tell a guy, thanks, but we're gonna go to
Speaker 1: somebody else.
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, no, he's I don't think he's going anywhere.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be it's gonna be some tough decisions that
Speaker 1: Andrew Freeman, Dave Roberts, Brandon Gomes, this brain trust they're
Speaker 1: gonna have to make in the workouts the next few days. Uh,
Speaker 1: the the Freddie Freeman ankle injury. It's all gonna come together.
Speaker 5: Great problem to have tim oh, absolutely great problem to
Speaker 5: have to have too many players for twenty six man roster.
Speaker 1: This is a fantastic issue to have if you're the
Speaker 1: Dodgers eight sixty six, nine eighty seven, two five seventy.
Speaker 1: We got a full board of calls coming up next hour.
Speaker 1: David Vasse will join us at eight o'clock. You're gonna

Speaker 1: the relationships on and off the field that he does,
Speaker 1: and the respect that he has from these players on
Speaker 1: and off the field, they trust him. He's a great
Speaker 1: information man and gets a lot of information and stuff
Speaker 1: out of players that know. Other reporters, certainly no other
Speaker 1: reporters who cover this team on a daily basis are
Speaker 1: able to get other than him and come at the
Speaker 1: top of the hour an interview he had very organic
Speaker 1: in the moment with Brent Honeywell Junior and Max Munsey,
Speaker 1: and it just turned into about five minutes of an
Speaker 1: epic interview postgame that Dodger fans, you are not gonna
Speaker 1: want to miss that is coming up at the top.
Speaker 5: Of the hour.
Speaker 1: But s actually one of the listeners brought up Freddie Freeman.
Speaker 1: And Freddie Freeman did not play last night in Game
Speaker 1: six of the NLCS, and we thought maybe he'd give
Speaker 1: it a go. Dave Roberts announced he would not, and
Speaker 1: he watched from the railings on that first step inside
Speaker 1: the Dodgers dugouts it's hard to do. Yeah, Oh, I
Speaker 1: have just a guy who's an MVP, won a title
Speaker 1: of the Atlanta Braves and such a huge part of
Speaker 1: this Dodgers team and wants to be in the lineup
Speaker 1: every day. And Dardin Near almost played every game of
Speaker 1: the regular season this year, broken finger and all. Here
Speaker 1: he is postgame last night, kind of talking about what
Speaker 1: it means to him with the injury to go back
Speaker 1: to the World Series.
Speaker 5: I'm here with the.
Speaker 11: Most inspirational player of this postseason, the one legged Freddie
Speaker 11: Freeman going back to the World Series.
Speaker 1: How does that feel? That sounds good?
Speaker 5: Really good?
Speaker 14: What a great great what a great year so far?
Speaker 14: This is what you envision every spring training when you
Speaker 14: show up to be able to be here and go
Speaker 14: for the chance to get four more wins in a
Speaker 14: World Series.
Speaker 5: This is what it's all about.
Speaker 11: They're calling your bullpen the dogs. What can you say
Speaker 11: about the job they did tonight?
Speaker 1: That's amazing.
Speaker 14: Bullpen games are very hard to navigate, they're hard to win,
Speaker 14: and with the guys we've got in our bullpen, absolutely
Speaker 14: incredible job. Blake trying and throwing Frisbees up there, Kobing
Speaker 14: coming out throws.
Speaker 1: It's just up and down. We got we got I
Speaker 1: guess we got the dogs in there. Freddy.
Speaker 11: You going out there playing on one ankle really inspire
Speaker 11: the rest of the team and really sent a message
Speaker 11: that you believed in this team.
Speaker 14: Yeah, you know, I say, I'm trying. You know, it's
Speaker 14: every day to grind. I appreciate my teammates. That's three
Speaker 14: wins without me in there, scoring a lot of runs,
Speaker 14: so I appreciate them giving me the chance to be
Speaker 14: able to get back in there and hopefully be ready
Speaker 14: to go by Friday.
Speaker 11: Oh you'll be in there, Freddy.
Speaker 1: I know you will be.
Speaker 14: And I'll do my best to be get this ankle
Speaker 14: as good as I can in these next four days.
Speaker 11: Congratulations, Freddie, you deserve all the celebration you get.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 7: David.
Speaker 1: I appreciate you good, very much, thank you. I guess
Speaker 1: that there's one blessing of having four days off between
Speaker 1: the NLCS and Game one of the World Series. It
Speaker 1: is Freddie Freeman's ankle and now will be a month
Speaker 1: removed from when he twisted that ankle against the Padres
Speaker 1: on that Thursday night, the final regular season home game
Speaker 1: for the Dodgers, to to now get off his feet
Speaker 1: and get more and more treatment, and i'd imagine, I
Speaker 1: mean he's gonna be in the lineup on front.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, he'll he'll be in the lineup. I mean,
Speaker 5: it's just I know we were both just anxious to
Speaker 5: see what the extent of this from this mysterious angle injuries.
Speaker 5: I've never seen when this long. But Freddy's been through
Speaker 5: everything this this year. He'll be in the lineup. I
Speaker 5: mean from the problems that you know, the unfortunate happenings
Speaker 5: with his son that happened during the year. Uh, and
Speaker 5: you know we have through that and now he has
Speaker 5: this this problem with with his with his ankle. So
Speaker 5: he's been through many many things this year. But you
Speaker 5: know what the Rosie part is, they're in the World Series.
Speaker 5: They're still scoring runs. He's happy for the guys that are,
Speaker 5: you know, summing in their form and making it happen.
Speaker 5: So you know what he's going to be ready for
Speaker 5: for Friday. I don't have any doubt about it.
Speaker 1: Bruce, and Pico Rivera is ready to go. Here on
Speaker 1: Saxon Kate's in the am morning Bruce, Good morning, fellas.
Speaker 16: It's always a pleasure to hear you guys in the morning.
Speaker 16: And there's no better time to be a Dodger fan
Speaker 16: than listening to you guys in playoff baseball. You guys
Speaker 16: are the best. I always appreciated Saxony and his hushole.
Speaker 16: You know, he for me, he was the modern day
Speaker 16: Pete Rose because hustle never takes take the swamp and
Speaker 16: Saxy I always appreciate, appreciated that.
Speaker 5: About you appreciate it.
Speaker 16: I want to say, Dave Roberts, what a what an
Speaker 16: awesome job he's done. And for him to lose two
Speaker 16: of his best starters, Glass now being the ace and
Speaker 16: you had Gavin Stone who was probably the second best picture.
Speaker 16: You lose those two guys and you get a team
Speaker 16: believing that they can still win. It reminds me of
Speaker 16: Thesorta and his inspiration and making them believe that they
Speaker 16: can still do it. And that's the beauty of this team.
Speaker 16: They're just a team of believers. They have they they
Speaker 16: love being with each other. I think it's awesome the
Speaker 16: way they came together. And sim I want to disagree
Speaker 16: with you on how the relievers are deployed. After after
Speaker 16: oh my my goodness, uh that one start when he
Speaker 16: when he gave up eight runs. You can't overexpose your
Speaker 16: your high leverage relievers. You can't do that. You're stretched
Speaker 16: thin as it is. It lost two of your best starters.
Speaker 16: Eve Roberts is relegated to playing a bullpen game with
Speaker 16: the Padres White with the Mets, and.
Speaker 15: It's because the two starters went down. Now, the way
Speaker 15: Roberts is deploying, he's gonna make sure they have rest.
Speaker 15: He's got to divvy up beginnings twenty seven ounce are
Speaker 15: very important and the relievers are just locking it down,
Speaker 15: as they proved last night. I think the kind of
Speaker 15: wave that they're writing on, they're writing on a high.
Speaker 15: And the fact that we're gonna take two New York teams.
Speaker 15: If we can get.
Speaker 16: By the Yankees, they're probably gonna have to call us
Speaker 16: the New York assassins. We're yeah, We're really, We're really
Speaker 16: in a position to do something great and memorable. And
Speaker 16: one thing I've always wanted in my whole lifetime is
Speaker 16: to see a World Series clinched at Dodger Stadium. I've
Speaker 16: seen him win in eighty one, I've seen him win
Speaker 16: in eighty eight, both on the road, but to do
Speaker 16: it at home, saying a game six, where Game seven
Speaker 16: is not so stressful, would be a dream come true.
Speaker 16: I think the Dodgers can do something really special and
Speaker 16: make this city unite unlike any any other time in
Speaker 16: our history. I'm also I'm also including eighty eight. Eighty
Speaker 16: eight is so magical and so so awesome. We'll never
Speaker 16: forget that Ada.
Speaker 4: Team, no doubt.
Speaker 16: But Dave Roberts, Dave Roberts is uh just as played
Speaker 16: as Famula Sorda and inspiration.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, all right, Bruce appreciate it well, said,
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, this is a uh, this is something special,
Speaker 1: Bruin and the Dodgers are four wins away from another
Speaker 1: World Series championship. Is certainly gonna be a big test
Speaker 1: for this Dodgers team, and it all begins on Friday night,
Speaker 1: Game one of the World Series Dodgers in the New
Speaker 1: York Yankees. We of course will have all the play
Speaker 1: by play as you're Home of the Dodgers am FI
