Everybody's into the Dodgers. 42 00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:20.560 You know. 43 00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:22.800 When I go get coffee in the in the kitchen 44 00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:25.719 here and we share a building here with seven radio 45 00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:30.400 stations FM stations KFI right down the hall, everybody is 46 00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:34.840 asking about the Dodgers, the FM morning hosts, everybody in between. 47 00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:37.879 The office is opening up and people are buzzing about 48 00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:40.199 the Dodgers, and it's it's great to have that buzz 49 00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:42.439 back here in Los Angeles. And I know they won 50 00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:44.919 a World Series in twenty twenty, but we didn't get 51 00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:47.599 to celebrate a championship parade. The last time there was 52 00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:50.120 a parade in the city for the Dodgers was nineteen 53 00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:51.879 eighty eight. And I think that's one of the big 54 00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:57.800 rallying crises. We want a parade. Wow, Yeah, that caps 55 00:02:57.800 --> 00:02:59.680 it off for sure. You have a parade. That's the 56 00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:02.599 stand up right there. So but you know what it's 57 00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:05.879 gonna be. It's gonna be tough because this Yankee team 58 00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:06.400 is stacked. 59 00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:08.039 We all know it. They've got guys on the team 60 00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:10.360 that are hot. I don't know anybody that's hotter right 61 00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:14.159 now than the middle of this lineup. Soto is just 62 00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:18.680 swinging about really really well. Fortunately right now Aaron Judge 63 00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:20.840 isn't and that's the one spot that you can maybe 64 00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:23.439 try to exploit. But you know it's not gonna last. 65 00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:25.800 Somebody's gonna have to pay for that. Hopefully it'll be 66 00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:28.400 next year and not in the next four games where 67 00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:30.479 the Dodgers can beat these guys. But it's gonna be 68 00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:31.280 a great series, I think. 69 00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:34.240 Yeah, it's gonna be a lot of fun. Gen Carlos Stanton, 70 00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:36.879 who's from the eight one to eight, just a couple 71 00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:39.360 of minutes here from our studio, went to Notre Dame 72 00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:43.240 High School, and you know, everybody knows who he is. 73 00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:46.639 He's a local hero here, high school player and dominating 74 00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:49.080 in the major leagues and one of the best sluggers 75 00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:51.319 of the last ten years. He'll be returning back to 76 00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:54.719 southern California and playing at Dodger Stadium, so that'll be 77 00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:58.400 a big storyline going into this world series. You certainly 78 00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:02.199 got one Soto, no love lost between him and Dodger 79 00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:04.360 fans for his antics at the plates. 80 00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:07.879 It gets a bit tired, doesn't it. It gets tired. Yeah, 81 00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:09.919 I'm already tired of it, and I you know, you 82 00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:12.599 see when he's you know, nodding at the pitcher, don't 83 00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:14.400 you want to just thump that dude. I mean, you know, 84 00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:17.480 he's just got you know what, he's a really good 85 00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:21.040 hitter and all that. But man, save the stuff. Okay 86 00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:23.360 you're not, Babe, Ruth. Just save the stuff. 87 00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:27.000 Why doesn't anybody call him out on the shuffling of 88 00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:28.399 the feed nodding out? 89 00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:32.759 Yeah, approval like gets old really old fast. Well, you 90 00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:35.199 know what, I know, somebody would. I know a lot 91 00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:37.120 of guys that would have done it the first time 92 00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:41.079 he did that to him, Guys like Nolan Ryan, Danny Darwin, 93 00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:44.279 Dicky Knowles. I can just go on and name lots 94 00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:47.199 of them that would. Jerry Royce, I can tell you 95 00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:48.680 lots of guys that wouldn't stand for that. 96 00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:51.199 I mean, he's a really good player, don't get me wrong. 97 00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:53.759 He is a guy who can change the game, and 98 00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:56.639 he quite literally did that winning the American League Championship 99 00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:59.800 with that home run late for the Yankees over the weekend. 100 00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:02.399 But yeah, the antics are I mean, I like I. 101 00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:04.600 Like I like it that he's gutsy and he's you know, 102 00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:07.399 he wants to get it on and all that. But 103 00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:10.240 but save the save the fluff man. Nobody wants to 104 00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:13.120 see that. No, And because you know you're not gonna 105 00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:15.480 do it every time. And when you don't, you know 106 00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:17.680 you're gonna get the You're gonna get it from the 107 00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:19.399 other side, because they're gonna say, hey, where's all the 108 00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:21.560 you know, the staring down and the nod and and what. 109 00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:23.879 He gets a bit tired. Hm wan. 110 00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:26.000 So he's he's a free agent at the end of 111 00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:26.360 this year. 112 00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:29.000 I believe, yes, is he not? He just gets some 113 00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:31.959 flat out d narrow There's no doubt about it. He's 114 00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:32.680 gonna get paid. 115 00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:36.079 I mean, he's only twenty five years old. 116 00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:38.920 Yeah, he's done something. He does my gosh, it feels 117 00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:41.399 like he's been around for decade. If you look at 118 00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:43.879 it too. He's not a five tool player. There's no 119 00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:45.839 way this guy's a five tool player. He can hit, 120 00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:52.120 he's got power, you know, blow average runner, blow average defense. 121 00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:54.639 I mean, he's you know, he's he's a good offensive threat, 122 00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:57.519 especially in Yankee Stadium. He's not the same hitter out 123 00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:00.360 of Yankee Stadium, but he is. He is a threat. 124 00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:03.040 There's no question about it. But you know, he's not 125 00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:03.920 a five tool player. 126 00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:09.519 He actually turns twenty six years old on Friday, the 127 00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:13.120 day of Game one of the World Series. Juan Soto 128 00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:15.759 of the New York Yankees unbelievable. I mean, is he 129 00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:17.959 if he if he's he Let's see, who's a three 130 00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:21.399 hundred Manny Machado's a three hundred million dollar player. Yeah, 131 00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:25.120 Shoe Otani is a seven hundred million dollar player, and 132 00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:28.120 certainly he's different. He can pitch as well. Juan Soto 133 00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:30.560 five hundred million dollars. 134 00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:34.000 Well, I wouldn't have thought that before. You know, he 135 00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:35.839 went to New York. When he went to New York, 136 00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:38.439 he's he became way better. I mean he just did. 137 00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:41.839 Playing in that ballpark, playing around guys that can really 138 00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:44.600 hit makes you a better hitter, and that's great. So 139 00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:47.879 his his uh, you know, his worth is going to 140 00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:51.160 go up significantly. Playing on a team that's very, very 141 00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:54.879 offensively talented and that's where he is. It's made him 142 00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:57.079 a better hitter, and you know, he capitalized on it. 143 00:06:57.160 --> 00:06:59.480 He did it, so he gets all that credit, you know, 144 00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:02.680 and he's gonna get paid. Yeah, probably maybe over four 145 00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:06.639 hundred million. Corey Seeger ten years three twenty five. Bryce 146 00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:10.079 Harper got thirteen years, three hundred and thirty million dollars. 147 00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:14.120 But that was five years ago. Aaron Judge nine years, 148 00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:17.199 three hundred and sixty million dollars. That's that's a good 149 00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:18.800 deal now for the team right. 150 00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:21.839 Already, that feels like a bargain. That's a bargain when 151 00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:23.720 you think about what he can bring to this team 152 00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:27.600 and then show Heo Tani ten years, seven hundred million dollars. Yeah, 153 00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:30.360 it kind of feels like that four hundred million dollar range. Yeah, 154 00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:33.600 for a twenty six year old free agent this offseason. 155 00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:36.279 I mean, he's not thirty, he's not twenty eight, just 156 00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:37.759 turning twenty six. 157 00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:40.000 Yeah, you think that Yankees are gonna sign him? I mean, 158 00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:41.279 do you think you're gonna They're gonna be in the 159 00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:44.480 sweep sakes? Remember, there's only a few teams that can 160 00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:47.079 that can take this guy because they can't afford him. 161 00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:51.079 You know, the Braves could probably do it, the Yankees, 162 00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:52.800 the Dodger. I don't know if the Dodgers they got 163 00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:55.120 so much on their plate right now, but you know, 164 00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:57.920 there's maybe San Diego back there. I don't know, there's 165 00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:00.160 there's some teams that that can there's a lot lot 166 00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:02.680 of teams most teams can't. There's probably a handful in 167 00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:03.279 the can. 168 00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:05.160 Right, And when you think about there's not a lot 169 00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:07.720 of teams that have that kind of money, four hundred 170 00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:09.879 million dollars for just one player. 171 00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:12.639 Pittsburgh and Kansas City aren't going to be sweepstakes. You 172 00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:14.839 know that Oakland's not going to be in the sweep sakes. 173 00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:16.120 I'm gonna throw it in. A name that might be 174 00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:19.319 a team is the New York Mets. Steve Cohen's got 175 00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:21.959 money that he just prints. Yeah, he's got he wants 176 00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:22.279 to win. 177 00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:24.959 I mean he can instantly go down the street and 178 00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:27.920 buy a you know, a brand new Porsche just from 179 00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:30.319 what he finds in his couch cushion, right, I mean 180 00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:32.200 that's in that something. When you have that kind of 181 00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:35.679 you have that kind of scratch, you can do that. Yeah, 182 00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:38.240 he could afford it. He could do it, and you know, 183 00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:40.440 you never know, they might be in the sweepstakes. Wouldn't 184 00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:42.600 it be great? Because the Mets and the Yankees are 185 00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:46.320 always trying to vibe for the back page of the 186 00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:48.120 sports you know, they want to be on the cover, 187 00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:50.679 and so they're constant and the and the Mets were 188 00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:53.600 always the step child of the Yankees, but not anymore. 189 00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:56.000 The Mets are right there with them now. 190 00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:58.519 I mean, I'm just thinking down the road, Juan Soto 191 00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:00.480 in a few years, maybe you're moving to first. You 192 00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:02.799 give them a lucrative deal, him and Lindor in that 193 00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:05.200 lineup together. I mean, pen A Lonzo's a free agent. 194 00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:08.279 Would you rather have Pee Alonzo or Juan Soto for 195 00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:09.840 the next five to ten years. 196 00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:12.240 I mean, there's another guy that's gonna let walk. I mean, 197 00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:14.679 Alonzo's gonna walk, He's gonna get some He's gonna get 198 00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:18.000 paid too. You know, the guy's a legitimate middle of 199 00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:22.000 the order run producer, and you know he's, uh, he's 200 00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:24.360 gonna get paid. So, you know, not not in the 201 00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:26.519 range of Soto, but he's gonna get some donuts, no doubt. 202 00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:28.960 Coming up, we're gonna hear from the dogs, the bullpen 203 00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:32.240 of this Dodgers team, which has now deemed themselves the 204 00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:36.240 bullpen Dogs for what they've done in September and now October, 205 00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:39.519 closing out games, starting games, bullpen games, everything in between. 206 00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:41.639 So we'll hear from Daniel Hudson and Play Trying, and 207 00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:44.519 coming up, we'll hear from shoey Otani as well, next hour, 208 00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:47.000 David Vass joins us and you're not gonna miss it. 209 00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:50.039 At eight o'clock, Maximunsey and Brent Honeywell Junior one on 210 00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:53.559 one with David Vass. What is an epic interview. Let's 211 00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:56.360 go to no in Silmar. 212 00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:01.360 Yeah, no way, no way, go ahead, guys. I'm happy 213 00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:03.720 to hear you guys last the last couple of years. 214 00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:05.879 We got about a week, you know, and then you 215 00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:08.480 guys were gone right to go back to Dan. But 216 00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:11.120 I've gotta hear what's gonna go on? What's gonna happen 217 00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:14.639 on Friday? Because the starting pitching, because I'm i mean, 218 00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:17.559 as good as the bullpens bit the dogs. I just 219 00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:20.279 you know, eighty eight World Series, Tommy only use seven 220 00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:22.600 pitchers in the whole World Series. You know, of course 221 00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:25.360 vershas are you know, two complete games? But what do 222 00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:27.480 you think is gonna start? What are they doing on Friday? 223 00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:30.440 All right, appreciate the phone call. NOI I would imagine 224 00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:35.799 it's gonna be Yoshinobu Yamamoto obviously extended rest, but going 225 00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:38.519 into a seven game series, saxye, you probably want to 226 00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:42.639 get him twice, and that means Game one and game 227 00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:45.840 six or seven if it goes that far into a series. 228 00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:47.720 That way, you use him early and you can use 229 00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:50.159 them late. That's probably the best way because he's the 230 00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:52.159 one guy that needs to extended rest. 231 00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:54.840 And yeah, and he's shown that he can do it, 232 00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:57.600 but I would have liked to see him stretch a 233 00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:00.559 bit other than four or five innings. I need to 234 00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:02.759 see this dude go in there in the seventh inning. 235 00:11:02.759 --> 00:11:05.159 I'd like to see that. And so you don't tax 236 00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:07.080 that bullpen because one of these days you're gonna need 237 00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:09.399 a You're gonna need a bullpen game at least one, 238 00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:12.200 I think, and that's uh, you're gonna need these guys. 239 00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:14.279 So I want to see my starter. I'm want to see. 240 00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:16.879 I want to see Yoshi go there and maybe go 241 00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:18.200 seven innings. Wouldn't it be great? 242 00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:21.080 That would be phenomenal. And it's not something he has 243 00:11:21.159 --> 00:11:23.720 not done already this year, because he did do it 244 00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:28.279 against the New York Yankees right before he got hurt 245 00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:30.360 and got up put on the shelf for three months 246 00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:32.960 with the shoulder injury. On a Friday night in the 247 00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:37.320 Bronx June seventh, he went in there and threw seven 248 00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:42.480 shutout innings, scattered two hits, struck out seven, walked to 249 00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:46.840 and threw one hundred and six pitches. Now, some think 250 00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:49.639 that that was it his shoulder win after that, because 251 00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:51.600 he came out of the next game against the Royals 252 00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:54.039 after two innings and twenty eight pitches and then missed 253 00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:56.320 three months. But he can do it. 254 00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:57.440 He can do it. He showed it. 255 00:11:57.600 --> 00:11:59.960 He can do it against the Yankees in the Bronx 256 00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:03.919 back in June. So yeah, it's it's definitely a possibility. 257 00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:08.240 Let's go to one. You're you're gonna need Flairty to 258 00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:12.399 really step it up this next time. Do some shoving. Okay, 259 00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:13.559 quit Sorry. 260 00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:16.279 I've in in rialto is next up. I've been good morning. 261 00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:16.759 How you doing. 262 00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:21.440 How's it going fellas the morning? Great morning, Dodgers are 263 00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:23.879 in the World Series. Hey, I'll give it up to 264 00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:27.000 Tommy Edman. I love him, Man, But how about Mookie 265 00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:29.600 Betts waking up in this Championship series. I think I've 266 00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:33.960 seen the statline seven for his last fourteen. Man, he 267 00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:37.279 was on a cold streak and he deserves some props, man. 268 00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:40.159 And I'm excited for Friday. Let's go Dodgers. 269 00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:43.120 All right, I've appreciated I don't think, you know, Mookie 270 00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:46.480 doesn't get the instant love right away for the NLCS 271 00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:48.960 he had, and he was huge in this series against 272 00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:52.240 the Mets because I think Dodger fans expected. I mean, 273 00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:54.840 you're paid to produce, You're considered one of the greatest 274 00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:58.080 players in baseball right now, You're supposed to do this, right, 275 00:12:58.120 --> 00:12:59.759 I mean, this is what you're supposed to do. 276 00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:02.480 But you know what, all that talk is so far gone, 277 00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:05.559 doesn't seem like forever. And then, oh, when's Mookie gonna 278 00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:07.679 get a you know, get off the snide and get 279 00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:09.799 this thing done. That's gone now. You don't hear any 280 00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:12.399 And he's relaxed now, he's you know, every time he 281 00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:15.320 comes up, he's hitting a bolt now. So those days 282 00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:18.399 are long gone. I think Mooky's gonna shine in this year, 283 00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:19.919 in this series, no question. 284 00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:23.559 Brad Marina del Rey gotta be lovely there on this 285 00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:25.879 Monday morning, even better than now.

The ocean looks pink, the sky 290 00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:43.679 is beautiful, beautiful Dodger blue. Wow. Man, you know, in 291 00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:46.559 a year where I listened to people on Twitter telling 292 00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:48.399 me we were going to finish third and not make 293 00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:53.080 the playoffs, in a year when everybody had an injury 294 00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:56.000 and poor Freddy and his kid and all of that 295 00:13:56.080 --> 00:14:00.200 kind of stuff, and here we are, best record in baseball, 296 00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:04.759 won the Division one, the Pennant, sitting here and gonna 297 00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:07.519 go face the Yankees. And gosh, boy, do I have 298 00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:10.919 memories of that nineteen seventy seven, nineteen seventy eight, sitting 299 00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:14.960 there with my dad, Bob Welts, straking out Richie Jackson. 300 00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:19.200 So in eighty one when we finally got over on them, 301 00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:24.240 and wow, this is super, super exciting. And just like 302 00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:26.960 Randy said, I hate New York City. 303 00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:28.159 It's cold and. 304 00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:32.519 It's damped, and the people all dressed like monkeys. So 305 00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:35.120 this is our year, you guys, go Dodgers. 306 00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:38.360 All right. He Brad summed it up. I mean, you 307 00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:42.159 know he summed it up with the sentiment is by 308 00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:44.399 a lot of people, right, That's what baseball brings out, 309 00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:46.799 and it's great. So it Brad summed it up. 310 00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:49.360 It is fantastic. There's certainly a buzz in the air 311 00:14:49.399 --> 00:14:52.080 on this Monday morning, Eric and you Kaipa. You're filling 312 00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:53.879 the buzz as the Dodgers are going back to the 313 00:14:53.879 --> 00:14:56.919 World Series. Good morning Eric, Hey. 314 00:14:56.799 --> 00:14:57.440 Good morning God. 315 00:14:57.559 --> 00:15:01.240 Yeah, I'm feeling it. I'm feeling the buzz. Uh just 316 00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:03.600 want to hear prompts to back say and a monkey 317 00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:06.679 for the interview. That was awesome. They kind of showed 318 00:15:06.679 --> 00:15:09.440 that they're human and and they go through all these emotions. 319 00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:10.519 That's really cool. 320 00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:13.200 At how tight they are. And Saxy, I had a 321 00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:15.720 question for you. What were you thinking when you were 322 00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:16.200 on deck? 323 00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:18.519 You were one walk. 324 00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:21.279 Away from coming up to bat in eighty eight? What 325 00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:22.919 was your approach? What were you thinking? 326 00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:24.679 Uh, thank you guys. 327 00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:26.679 I'll try I'll make it real short. I'll tell you 328 00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:28.879 what I was thinking. I was thinking, I got to 329 00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:30.759 figure out a way to get a hit and so 330 00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:34.120 we win the game. And then when Gibby had the 331 00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:36.120 click of the bat, I thought, Hm, I don't have 332 00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:38.960 to worry about that anymore because that Paul is out 333 00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:41.720 of here. And so it was it was, you know, 334 00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:45.000 just planning out, trying to be business like, and then 335 00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:46.440 I didn't have to worry about it. Then I can 336 00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:48.360 go act like a nut and jump around everywhere? And 337 00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:49.080 I did. 338 00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:51.759 Were you thinking about all the things that Eckersley can 339 00:15:51.840 --> 00:15:54.519 do in the game plan and the scouting reports that 340 00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:56.279 that game that they gave you, because I mean we 341 00:15:56.480 --> 00:15:59.240 always hearing about how Gibby, you know, stepped out of 342 00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:01.159 the box and kept thinking about the game plan and 343 00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:03.120 the approach and with the scouts told him about the 344 00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:05.919 back door slider there against the left. He obviously you're 345 00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:06.679 a right handed hitter. 346 00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:06.879 Bart. 347 00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:09.679 Are you going through your mind scenarios and what he's 348 00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:11.360 going to throw to you? And if you come up 349 00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:13.200 in with the you know, in this situation, what he 350 00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:14.879 might try to challenge you with. 351 00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:19.360 Yes, and different, different, you know, different strategy than Gibbee. 352 00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:22.440 Of course, my strategy was to be very aggressive on 353 00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:25.240 him from first pitch on because he's gonna come at you, 354 00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:27.759 and you know he has good stuff, so you don't 355 00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:31.120 want to let somebody like that throw a cookie in 356 00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:32.519 there and get a strike on you. I was going 357 00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:35.840 to be hacking as soon as I got into the box. 358 00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:37.879 It's gonna be ready to hit and try to drive 359 00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:38.759 it right back at him. 360 00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:41.320 He is Steve Sacks, Siam, Tim Kates and Saxon Kates 361 00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:43.919 and the AM on this Monday morning, as we celebrate 362 00:16:43.960 --> 00:16:48.000 the Dodgers winning the NL Championship with a win over 363 00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:50.320 the New York match last night.
