14
00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:50.439
<v Speaker 2>the west side, the eight one eight, back to the

15
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:54.000
<v Speaker 2>Canajo Valley, wherever you may be headed, to the Inland Empire,

16
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:55.679
<v Speaker 2>Orange County, I want to hear from you at eight

17
00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:59.600
<v Speaker 2>six six, ninet eighty seven, two five seventies, certainly a

18
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:03.600
<v Speaker 2>night to celebrate for the Los Angeles Dodgers, their eleventh

19
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:08.159
<v Speaker 2>Divisional title in twelve years. Dave Roberts his eighth divisional

20
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:11.879
<v Speaker 2>title as manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers, and they

21
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:14.760
<v Speaker 2>do it tonight in a game in which they struggled

22
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:17.879
<v Speaker 2>for offense the first six innings and finally in the

23
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:22.400
<v Speaker 2>seventh a leadoff walk from Max Munsey from Joe Muskgrove

24
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:25.680
<v Speaker 2>and the wheels started to fall off for the San

25
00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:28.920
<v Speaker 2>Diego Padres. And there to jump on him was the

26
00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:32.400
<v Speaker 2>Los Angeles Dodgers, as they took advantage of Joe musk

27
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:35.560
<v Speaker 2>groves inability to get Max Munsey in the top and

28
00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:38.319
<v Speaker 2>the bottom half of the seventh, Will Smith comes back

29
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.719
<v Speaker 2>on a three to one fastball and crushes it to

30
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:45.239
<v Speaker 2>center field four hundred and twenty six feet to tie

31
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:47.879
<v Speaker 2>the game a two. They could bring in a reliever,

32
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:51.760
<v Speaker 2>Tanner Scott, didn't matter. Show Aotani fired a ball to

33
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:55.040
<v Speaker 2>right field, they scored a run. Then Mookie Bets followed

34
00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:56.920
<v Speaker 2>up with the base hit to right that score two,

35
00:01:57.359 --> 00:01:59.439
<v Speaker 2>and the Dodgers put a five spot up on the

36
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:02.079
<v Speaker 2>scoreboard in the seventh inning. Two more in the eighth

37
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:04.359
<v Speaker 2>on the Andy pat has two run home run and

38
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:06.400
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers were off and running at that point. The

39
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:09.479
<v Speaker 2>bullpen locked it down and the Dodgers get their ninety

40
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:13.120
<v Speaker 2>fifth victory of this season. A lot of great postgame

41
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:16.280
<v Speaker 2>reaction here on FI seventy LA Sports. Hope you enjoyed

42
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:19.439
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers' Clubhouse show. Great job by our own David

43
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:24.360
<v Speaker 2>Vasse inside the Dodgers' clubhouse, the celebration, the champagne, the

44
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:28.159
<v Speaker 2>beer that was flowing, he had, Andrew Freeman, Dave Roberts,

45
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:31.960
<v Speaker 2>Will Smith. You heard from Gavin Lucks, Jack Flaherty, Clayton Kershaw,

46
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Freddie Freeman, Walker Bueller, Max Munths even chimed in as

47
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:41.639
<v Speaker 2>well while Gavin lux was talking with DV. A great

48
00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:44.560
<v Speaker 2>job by David inside that clubhouse. It never gets old

49
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:49.680
<v Speaker 2>to hear these guys celebrating and especially winning the division. Now,

50
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:52.439
<v Speaker 2>certainly this is just the first check mark, right, This

51
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:54.759
<v Speaker 2>is just that first box you want to check off

52
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:58.280
<v Speaker 2>to get to a World Series championship. That goes without saying,

53
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:03.759
<v Speaker 2>but you celebrate the accomplishment of a marathon season. One

54
00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:06.960
<v Speaker 2>hundred and sixty two games. The Dodgers are three away

55
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.319
<v Speaker 2>from completing that, and the Dodgers clinched the division for

56
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:14.199
<v Speaker 2>the eleven time in twelve years. It's a huge accomplishment.

57
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:17.800
<v Speaker 2>It is a feat that is hard to do, to

58
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:20.639
<v Speaker 2>go over the course of a six month season and

59
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:24.080
<v Speaker 2>when everybody y else is starting to falter away. To

60
00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:27.560
<v Speaker 2>stand there as the champions of your division, first place

61
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:30.400
<v Speaker 2>in the NL West, and to do it and dominate

62
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:34.639
<v Speaker 2>for more than a decade is really impressive. It's it's

63
00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:38.280
<v Speaker 2>certainly the first check that they want to have as

64
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:41.800
<v Speaker 2>far as this twenty twenty four season. Next up is

65
00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:44.319
<v Speaker 2>the playoffs. You want to win a World Series, no

66
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:46.439
<v Speaker 2>doubt about it. And we got a lot of time

67
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:49.319
<v Speaker 2>to get into that talk and what the Dodgers' postseason

68
00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:52.840
<v Speaker 2>plans will be, what the rotation could look like. But

69
00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:55.879
<v Speaker 2>tonight is a night of celebration because what the Dodgers

70
00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:59.879
<v Speaker 2>did tonight through all the injuries this pitching staff, that

71
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:04.280
<v Speaker 2>it didn't just take five starters. It took seventeen different

72
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:09.840
<v Speaker 2>starters for the Dodgers this year, forty different pitchers that

73
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:13.800
<v Speaker 2>have taken the mound at Dodger Stadium. The amount of

74
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:18.040
<v Speaker 2>injuries that they've had to endure in the rotation from

75
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:21.079
<v Speaker 2>the start of the season until now getting ready for

76
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:25.839
<v Speaker 2>the postseason, the injuries to Max Munsey missing an extended

77
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:31.240
<v Speaker 2>amount of time, Mookie Betts with the broken hand out

78
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:35.360
<v Speaker 2>for almost two months, Freddie Freeman battling through a broken finger,

79
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:40.199
<v Speaker 2>Tascar Hernandez being a guy that you can really count

80
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:42.360
<v Speaker 2>on for the most part, night in and night out

81
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:45.759
<v Speaker 2>to be in that Dodger lineup. The ups and downs

82
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:49.600
<v Speaker 2>of a season, barring not even factoring in the injuries,

83
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:53.959
<v Speaker 2>just ups and downs, streaks and the peaks in the

84
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:57.639
<v Speaker 2>valleys that you go through as a baseball player, the

85
00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:00.480
<v Speaker 2>two week stretches in which you were one for thirty

86
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:03.199
<v Speaker 2>five or then you turn around and you're ten for

87
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:06.680
<v Speaker 2>twenty five the next series. It's so up and down.

88
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:10.439
<v Speaker 2>It is a marathon. It is so grueling, and for

89
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:13.959
<v Speaker 2>this Dodgers team at the end of it to be

90
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:20.240
<v Speaker 2>celebrating an NL West championship, absolutely absolutely everybody in that clubhouse,

91
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:24.879
<v Speaker 2>from Ben Kisparius to Tyler Glassnew to Clayton Kershaw and

92
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:28.000
<v Speaker 2>everybody in between that's taking the mound for this Dodger staff,

93
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:32.040
<v Speaker 2>to everybody that's gotten at bat for this Dodger team,

94
00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:34.680
<v Speaker 2>whether they're here right now or not. It's a celebration.

95
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:38.240
<v Speaker 2>It takes everybody, as Tommy Lisorda said, to pull on

96
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:40.759
<v Speaker 2>that rope for the Dodgers to now have the most

97
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:44.040
<v Speaker 2>divisional titles since nineteen sixty nine, at twenty two, more

98
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:46.639
<v Speaker 2>than the Yankees. By the way, the Braves have had

99
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:49.720
<v Speaker 2>twenty three divisional titles since nineteen sixty nine, the Dodgers

100
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:52.759
<v Speaker 2>at twenty two, the Yankees at twenty one, and the

101
00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:56.639
<v Speaker 2>Yankees clenched the Al East earlier today over the Orioles.

102
00:05:57.079 --> 00:05:59.920
<v Speaker 2>But certainly a night to celebrate for Dodger fans. And

103
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:01.240
<v Speaker 2>I want to hear from you at eight sixty six,

104
00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:04.240
<v Speaker 2>ninet eighty seven, two five seventy, we're gonna hear in

105
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:06.959
<v Speaker 2>case you missed it, from Walker Bueller coming up in

106
00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:10.279
<v Speaker 2>just a little bit, because she was fantastic. And I

107
00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:13.560
<v Speaker 2>really hope Walker Buehler has come out the other side

108
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:17.120
<v Speaker 2>of this Tommy John surgery. And it's not one of

109
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:19.839
<v Speaker 2>these things where you come back, you get a couple

110
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:23.079
<v Speaker 2>of starts and hey, look he's back to his normal self.

111
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:28.199
<v Speaker 2>It takes a while, and it's taking Walker Buehler about

112
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:30.439
<v Speaker 2>two thirds of this season to come back. He didn't

113
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:34.279
<v Speaker 2>start the team on the active roster. They slow played

114
00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:37.639
<v Speaker 2>him into this season. He has been up and down.

115
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:39.959
<v Speaker 2>He's been trying to figure it out on the mound.

116
00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:43.319
<v Speaker 2>He's gotten better over the course of his last three starts,

117
00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:46.639
<v Speaker 2>even though they earned runs are certainly there, but he

118
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:49.279
<v Speaker 2>looked better. And his last start he got a loss

119
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:52.480
<v Speaker 2>against the Rockies, but he had nine punchouts, didn't got

120
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:55.399
<v Speaker 2>a lot of great defensive help behind him, and tonight

121
00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:58.560
<v Speaker 2>he was really good for five innings, allowed the one

122
00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:02.120
<v Speaker 2>run on five hits. I only walked one batter, struck out,

123
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:06.079
<v Speaker 2>one was getting contact, getting ground ball out. And I

124
00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:08.040
<v Speaker 2>hope we'll hear from Walker coming up a little bit.

125
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:10.720
<v Speaker 2>I hope he's turning the corner. I hope now the

126
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:15.519
<v Speaker 2>Walker Bueler is somebody they can rely on. Come this NLD. Yes,

127
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:18.720
<v Speaker 2>that starts a week from Saturday. But if you're leaving

128
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:20.600
<v Speaker 2>the game, I want to hear from you. Let's go

129
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:23.759
<v Speaker 2>to Sean. Sean was at the game tonight. Sean, welcome

130
00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:24.480
<v Speaker 2>to Dodger Talk.

131
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:27.920
<v Speaker 3>Hey, thanks for having us on. Why tonight? What a

132
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:29.040
<v Speaker 3>great night, man.

133
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:32.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that was great. First five or six innings. You're

134
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:34.319
<v Speaker 2>kind of waiting for this offense to wake up, Sean,

135
00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:36.680
<v Speaker 2>but they put up that five spot in the seventh inning,

136
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:38.879
<v Speaker 2>and as soon as mix months he drew that leadoff

137
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:41.720
<v Speaker 2>walk from Joe Musgrove his first walk by the way

138
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:44.360
<v Speaker 2>in like three starts. You kind of felt like he

139
00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:46.920
<v Speaker 2>was gonna start imploding on the mountain. Certainly he did.

140
00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:50.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it was great to see the MVP chance every

141
00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:55.079
<v Speaker 3>time show hey's the Freddie chance, the mookie chance. I mean,

142
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:58.439
<v Speaker 3>we're down in fifty three where all the og fans

143
00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:01.120
<v Speaker 3>are myself the boat man, and we were having a

144
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:04.040
<v Speaker 3>good time down there. It felt really nice.

145
00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:07.160
<v Speaker 2>Awesome, awesome. Thanks for checking in, Sewan. Drive home safe, Flyn.

<v Speaker 2>Glad you had a great time out there at the

147
00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:11.759

148
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:15.000
<v Speaker 2>fifty two thousand, four to thirty three for the final

149
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:17.519
<v Speaker 2>game of the regular season. And by the way, a

150
00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:21.480

<v Speaker 2>Dodger games this year. And to think this Dodger team

159
00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:02.960
<v Speaker 2>has just getting going with October right around the corner, Miteo,

160
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:06.080
<v Speaker 2>was that the game tonight, Miteoe Night of celebration? How

161
00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:07.120
<v Speaker 2>cool was that being out there?

162
00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:09.960
<v Speaker 4>Oh, it was so cool being out there. It was

163
00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:14.559
<v Speaker 4>so cool making an attendance record, second in history behind

164
00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:19.120
<v Speaker 4>twenty nineteen. We chased him Achado Jersey fan like sitting

165
00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:22.000
<v Speaker 4>NEARBYO talking all sorts of mess. It was just the

166
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:26.240
<v Speaker 4>funniest experience, so great to hear all the Mookie chants,

167
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:29.159
<v Speaker 4>all the MVP chants. We did it for Fernando. We

168
00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:33.840
<v Speaker 4>hope that he has a great retirement, amazing broadcasting career.

169
00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:37.159
<v Speaker 4>It was just a very good atmosphere overall.

170
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:38.399
<v Speaker 5>Show Man.

171
00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:40.679
<v Speaker 4>We got to keep this rolling into the postseason. And

172
00:09:40.679 --> 00:09:42.679
<v Speaker 4>it's great to see Mookie bets getting hits when it

173
00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:43.279
<v Speaker 4>matters now.

174
00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:45.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no doubt everybody can contribute to night, Mateo and

175
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:48.519
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate it. It's great to see Will Smith getting

176
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:51.679
<v Speaker 2>it started. And again it doesn't happen without Max Munsey

177
00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:56.480
<v Speaker 2>the leadoff walk and he fell behind an account. This

178
00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:59.679
<v Speaker 2>is important. He fell behind the count one and two

179
00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:05.679
<v Speaker 2>and a sweeper outside doesn't chase ball two, a sweeper

180
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:08.919
<v Speaker 2>down in the zone. It could have been called strike three,

181
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:13.600
<v Speaker 2>but it wasn't full count, and then lays off a

182
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:18.679
<v Speaker 2>curveball inside for ball four. Right there, Folks started it

183
00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:23.519
<v Speaker 2>great at bat for Max Munci. Then he hands it

184
00:10:23.559 --> 00:10:28.039
<v Speaker 2>off to Will Smith, who falls behind the count a one.

185
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:30.919
<v Speaker 2>Then gets three straight pitches out of the zone, two

186
00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:33.480
<v Speaker 2>of which weren't even close to set up a three

187
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:39.720
<v Speaker 2>to one fastball who he then absolutely crushes off Joe

188
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:44.679
<v Speaker 2>Muskrove to center field to tie the game. It's an

189
00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:48.120
<v Speaker 2>important sequence there, and that's when the Dodgers just kept

190
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:52.039
<v Speaker 2>on going. Key Ky a Hernandez a single, Andy pa

191
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:55.240
<v Speaker 2>has reaches on base because of a catcher's interference, and

192
00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:59.080
<v Speaker 2>then shoey Otani muscles one to right, scoring Key k

193
00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:03.279
<v Speaker 2>a Hernandez Mookie Betts. The two run single. Five runs

194
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:06.559
<v Speaker 2>come across, all starting with the months Ye walk, the

195
00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:09.519
<v Speaker 2>home run from Will Smith and then keep passing the

196
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:14.919
<v Speaker 2>baton down the line. Now, unfortunately Freddie Freeman in that

197
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:17.759
<v Speaker 2>seventh inning, it would lead the game because of the

198
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:20.799
<v Speaker 2>sprained right ankle, and in case you've missed it. X

199
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:24.240
<v Speaker 2>rays were negative. He's walking in a walking boot right now,

200
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:27.360
<v Speaker 2>just to alleviate the weight off that right ankle. And

201
00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:29.600
<v Speaker 2>Freddie Freeman telling our own David Vas saying the rest

202
00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:31.679
<v Speaker 2>of the media just a little while ago on the

203
00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:35.799
<v Speaker 2>field that he is not making the trip to Colorado,

204
00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:37.559
<v Speaker 2>and he doesn't need to make the trip. The Dodgers

205
00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:40.159
<v Speaker 2>have sealed the division. They got three games in Denver.

206
00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:44.159
<v Speaker 2>He doesn't need to go. Stay home, stay off a flight,

207
00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:49.960
<v Speaker 2>get that ankle treatment around the clock, rejoin this Dodgers

208
00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:53.159
<v Speaker 2>team for the workouts at Dodger Stadium next week. And

209
00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:54.960
<v Speaker 2>you really don't have to do much between now and

210
00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:58.720
<v Speaker 2>next Saturday. But get that ankle ready if you're Freddie Freeman,

211
00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:00.360
<v Speaker 2>and he said he hopes to be ready for Game

212
00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:02.919
<v Speaker 2>one of the NLDS, whoever the Dodgers are playing next

213
00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:06.120
<v Speaker 2>Saturday night at Dodger Stadium. Eight sixty six, nine eighty seven,

214
00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:09.559
<v Speaker 2>two five seventy. Joey and COEO. Beach, thanks for being patient,

215
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:11.639
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to Dodger Talk. Joey, How you doing tonight?

216
00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:12.799
<v Speaker 5>How you doing?

217
00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:13.039
<v Speaker 6>Tim?

218
00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:14.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing all right, that's great.

219
00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:16.480
<v Speaker 6>I'm just calling.

220
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:20.840
<v Speaker 7>Because I'm not gonna lie. After Friday's lost, I didn't

221
00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:23.879
<v Speaker 7>feel so good about our chances. I just didn't know

222
00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:26.720
<v Speaker 7>how this team was gonna respond, And uh how did

223
00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:30.559
<v Speaker 7>we respond? We responded amazingly when these last two games.

224
00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:33.960
<v Speaker 7>I mean, if it wasn't for show Hail Tani, the bullpen,

225
00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:37.279
<v Speaker 7>the way we showed up, I just don't know.

226
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:38.240
<v Speaker 6>I'm just ready.

227
00:12:38.279 --> 00:12:41.080
<v Speaker 7>I'm ready for the playoffs. I'm ready to bring another

228
00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:41.840
<v Speaker 7>World Series.

229
00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:44.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no doubt about it. Joey appreciate it. It's gonna be

230
00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:47.360
<v Speaker 2>an exciting postseason run here and we'll have it all

231
00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:49.000
<v Speaker 2>for you on the Home of the Dodgers, A five

232
00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:53.279
<v Speaker 2>seventy LA Sports. Yeah, that seventh Inny again, you can't

233
00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:56.159
<v Speaker 2>talk about it enough what the Dodgers were able to

234
00:12:56.200 --> 00:13:01.240
<v Speaker 2>do with Joe Musgrove struggling and the leadoff walk, the

235
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:04.759
<v Speaker 2>Will Smith home run, Tommy Edmans struck out for the

236
00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:06.879
<v Speaker 2>first out of the game. But then key k A

237
00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:10.799
<v Speaker 2>Hernandez comes up pitchhitting for Gavin Lux because they go

238
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:15.080
<v Speaker 2>to the bullpen in Tanner Scott, so Kei Ky Hernandez

239
00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:17.600
<v Speaker 2>comes in, and Keiky Hernandez has not had a lot

240
00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:21.519
<v Speaker 2>of success against Tanner Scott and Keith ky a Hernandez

241
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:26.879
<v Speaker 2>fell behind two to two in the count before getting

242
00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:30.960
<v Speaker 2>another foul ball to two Slider connects for a single

243
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:35.559
<v Speaker 2>up the center Pahz reaches on the catcher's interference, continue

244
00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:39.080
<v Speaker 2>to pass the baton as they did. Otani Betts, you

245
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:41.799
<v Speaker 2>know what happened. Five runs come across the plate. A

246
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:45.399
<v Speaker 2>great job by everybody in that sequence of the seventh inning.

247
00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:48.039
<v Speaker 2>Don't need to be the hero. Will Smith put a

248
00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:52.159
<v Speaker 2>great swing on that three to run fastball and drove

249
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:55.240
<v Speaker 2>it and got it out of the park. Great, but

250
00:13:55.279 --> 00:13:59.279
<v Speaker 2>the guys behind him, look at all those hits. Line drive,

251
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:03.240
<v Speaker 2>base hit from Key k a Hernandez, the fielder, the

252
00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:08.080
<v Speaker 2>catcher's interference, Otani's base hit, an absolute muscle job to

253
00:14:08.159 --> 00:14:11.120
<v Speaker 2>write in between first and second, and then Mookie Betts

254
00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:15.120
<v Speaker 2>with the laser over second into right center field to

255
00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:18.679
<v Speaker 2>score two. Not guys trying to jacket out of the park.

256
00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:20.679
<v Speaker 2>Nobody trying to hit it out of their shoes and

257
00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:22.879
<v Speaker 2>get a three run home run and be the hero.

258
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:27.480
<v Speaker 2>Just put the ball, find a hole, guys moving around

259
00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:29.639
<v Speaker 2>the bases and score, and the Dodgers take the lead

260
00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:32.519
<v Speaker 2>and put a five sput up on the board. That right,

261
00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:37.320
<v Speaker 2>there is playoff baseball. That is fantastic to see the

262
00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:40.159
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers doing that, and we got to see more of

263
00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:45.000
<v Speaker 2>it in the NLD as Richard in downtown Disney celebrating

264
00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:47.600
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers win an Angel Country. How you doing, Richard?

265
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:49.440

00:14:56.039 --> 00:15:00.039
<v Speaker 8>him celebrate, actually get a win, and you know, so

270
00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:06.440
<v Speaker 8>being in Angel Country where we're seeing them regret getting

271
00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:06.799
<v Speaker 8>rid of.

272
00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:10.039
<v Speaker 9>Him or not even getting the chance to keep him.

273
00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:12.440
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, so we love it.

274
00:15:12.519 --> 00:15:14.559
<v Speaker 6>We love it. We love to see how Tony happy.

275
00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:16.320
<v Speaker 8>We love to see him celebrate and.

276
00:15:17.799 --> 00:15:18.480
<v Speaker 6>Go Dodgers.

277
00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:21.039
<v Speaker 8>That's all we could say is, let's do this all.

278
00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:23.279
<v Speaker 2>Right on, rich I appreciate the phone call if you

279
00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:25.399
<v Speaker 2>missed showing Otani. We had him on in the Clubhouse

280
00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:28.039
<v Speaker 2>show and speaking to the media. It was really cool

281
00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:31.399
<v Speaker 2>to hear him talk about what it means to go

282
00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:35.440
<v Speaker 2>to the postseason and he was asked about being hot

283
00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:39.039
<v Speaker 2>here down the stretch and certainly the fifty to fifty accomplishment,

284
00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:42.279
<v Speaker 2>it is what that is, that's unbelievable, right, But what

285
00:15:42.399 --> 00:15:45.440
<v Speaker 2>he's done with the game winning hits last night, the

286
00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:48.919
<v Speaker 2>go ahead run hits the tonight, the RBI single to

287
00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:51.360
<v Speaker 2>give the Dodgers a three to two lead. He wants

288
00:15:51.399 --> 00:15:53.320
<v Speaker 2>to win. That's why he came to the Dodgers. That's

289
00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:55.879
<v Speaker 2>why he deferred the amount of money he did after

290
00:15:55.960 --> 00:15:58.320
<v Speaker 2>his contract is done, because he wants to have a

291
00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:01.200
<v Speaker 2>product around him and a team around him and be

292
00:16:01.240 --> 00:16:04.360
<v Speaker 2>a part of a team collectively that wins. And here

293
00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:08.639
<v Speaker 2>they are going into the postseason as divisional champs. And

294
00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:12.639
<v Speaker 2>for Shoeotani, he's never been here before. Yeah, guys like

295
00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:16.240
<v Speaker 2>Chris Taylor, Max Mounzee, Keiki Heernandi's Mookie Betts, Clayton Kershaw.

296
00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:19.639
<v Speaker 2>These guys have been there, They've done it. They've been

297
00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:21.559
<v Speaker 2>a part of a World Series team. They've been to

298
00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:24.519
<v Speaker 2>the World Series, they've been deep into postseasons, they've won

299
00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:30.519
<v Speaker 2>divisional titles multiple ones. And here's Shoeyotani, the greatest player

300
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:34.399
<v Speaker 2>on the planet, and this is his first time ever

301
00:16:35.519 --> 00:16:40.039
<v Speaker 2>the chance to pop champagne, to celebrate with the team

302
00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:44.320
<v Speaker 2>an accomplishment like this. Don't lose sight of that how

303
00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:48.639
<v Speaker 2>much this means to show, Hey, Otani, Well, maybe you

304
00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:51.840
<v Speaker 2>know the fifth one for some guys, the seventh one

305
00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:54.559
<v Speaker 2>for some players on this team, the tenth one for

306
00:16:54.600 --> 00:16:59.159
<v Speaker 2>the veterans like Clayton Kershaw. Huh. For Shoeotani, this is

307
00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:02.799
<v Speaker 2>his first and he couldn't be more excited and more

308
00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:06.200
<v Speaker 2>pumped up to go into October now and make a

309
00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:09.519
<v Speaker 2>run for eleven wins in a World Series championship. Let's

310
00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:10.160
<v Speaker 2>check out with Jose.

311
00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:14.599
<v Speaker 1>It's tough to go around the horn with Jose Mos.

312
00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:17.519
<v Speaker 2>I think that's important, Jose. For a lot of these guys,

313
00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:20.079
<v Speaker 2>been there, done that. It's always special. You celebrate the

314
00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:23.400
<v Speaker 2>accomplishment of one hundred and sixty two game season. Different group,

315
00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:26.200
<v Speaker 2>every year, every roster is different, every year is different.

316
00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:28.319
<v Speaker 2>But for show, Hey, this is the first time ever.

317
00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:31.319
<v Speaker 5>I am telling you. I'll go back and repeat what

318
00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:32.920
<v Speaker 5>he told me. After you got fifty to fifty and

319
00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:35.640
<v Speaker 5>we got off the plane for Miami. The first thing

320
00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:38.039
<v Speaker 5>he said is playoffs. I mean, that's all that was

321
00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:40.359
<v Speaker 5>in his mind, Tim. I mean that just tells you

322
00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:43.279
<v Speaker 5>more about the mentality, the makeup, the character of a

323
00:17:43.319 --> 00:17:46.680
<v Speaker 5>player that every eye is on him globally around the world.

324
00:17:46.799 --> 00:17:49.359
<v Speaker 5>I mean everywhere, even non baseball fans are watching Shoe

325
00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:52.599
<v Speaker 5>Hill Toney and he's talking about winning with his teammates,

326
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:56.240
<v Speaker 5>and I'm so glad that he finally had the opportunity.

327
00:17:56.279 --> 00:17:58.240
<v Speaker 5>He's finally going to get it done. But also on

328
00:17:58.279 --> 00:18:00.559
<v Speaker 5>top of this, let's think about this him who had

329
00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:03.960
<v Speaker 5>the bulls eye on him throughout September show, Hail Tony,

330
00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:06.920
<v Speaker 5>who beat more teams than anybody else this September Clutch

331
00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:09.480
<v Speaker 5>hits show, Hail Tony. So you know what, that's what

332
00:18:09.640 --> 00:18:09.880
<v Speaker 5>he is?

333
00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:13.559
<v Speaker 2>We is, uh Walker Bueller. Tonight he was with David

334
00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:17.680
<v Speaker 2>in the clubhouse afterwards and it was it was so

335
00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:21.000
<v Speaker 2>cool to hear him, Jose. It felt like there was

336
00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:25.000
<v Speaker 2>a thousand pounds weight off of his shoulders. And he

337
00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:27.680
<v Speaker 2>didn't get to win tonight, okay, but it was probably

338
00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:31.240
<v Speaker 2>his best outing of this season, coming back from the

339
00:18:31.279 --> 00:18:35.480
<v Speaker 2>Tommy John surgery, and I hope whatever, you know, he's

340
00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:39.359
<v Speaker 2>been fighting mentally. I think maybe he's gotten over that

341
00:18:39.440 --> 00:18:42.440
<v Speaker 2>and this could be a huge shot in the arm

342
00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:44.960
<v Speaker 2>for this Dodger team going to October. Having a Walker

343
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:46.400
<v Speaker 2>Bueller that's pitching like this.

344
00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:49.640
<v Speaker 5>As you said time and time again throughout this show,

345
00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:53.119
<v Speaker 5>guys that have been there before, it doesn't matter what

346
00:18:53.279 --> 00:18:56.000
<v Speaker 5>has happened this season and the telling that they faced him.

347
00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:59.839
<v Speaker 5>Don't ever underestimate these guys because this taste of what's

348
00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:02.599
<v Speaker 5>about to come, and so they thrive in what they

349
00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:06.200
<v Speaker 5>look forward to to be challenged. And I even you

350
00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:08.960
<v Speaker 5>know last night after the game, you're going tomorrow's Walkabila day.

351
00:19:09.079 --> 00:19:11.680
<v Speaker 5>He is going to be solamped up. He wants to

352
00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:14.200
<v Speaker 5>be the guy, not the guy looking from the outside

353
00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:15.720
<v Speaker 5>as he was a couple of months ago when he

354
00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:17.599
<v Speaker 5>was saying, well I'm hoping to be one of the

355
00:19:17.640 --> 00:19:20.839
<v Speaker 5>key pieces here. He earned it today. Of course, we

356
00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:22.880
<v Speaker 5>love to see the fight, we know what he was

357
00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:25.839
<v Speaker 5>taken out, but overall he gave the Dodgers a chance

358
00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:28.640
<v Speaker 5>to win by neutralizing a very good ball club. And

359
00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:31.160
<v Speaker 5>he came today with the idea to be aggressive and

360
00:19:31.319 --> 00:19:33.839
<v Speaker 5>coming to pitch, to not just throwing, but pitching. And

361
00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:35.559
<v Speaker 5>you got to tip your hat to say, guy's gone

362
00:19:35.559 --> 00:19:37.839
<v Speaker 5>through so much adjustments that he doesn't like to he's

363
00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:40.240
<v Speaker 5>adjusted to and also not getting a lot of russ

364
00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:43.400
<v Speaker 5>support at times or poor defense. He never ever broke

365
00:19:43.400 --> 00:19:45.359
<v Speaker 5>when he could have broken. He just bent a little

366
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:46.920
<v Speaker 5>bit more and said this is gonna make you stronger.

367
00:19:46.920 --> 00:19:48.599
<v Speaker 5>And I want to go down from the booth and

368
00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:51.200
<v Speaker 5>go out there and get my hut myself. It's like, man,

369
00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:54.640
<v Speaker 5>this is people have no idea. Played at the highest level,

370
00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:58.880
<v Speaker 5>fifty thousand expectations, the padres and everything that's gone over

371
00:19:58.880 --> 00:20:01.000
<v Speaker 5>your career. To tell me, John, I mean, this has

372
00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:02.640
<v Speaker 5>to be one of the best moments for him in

373
00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:03.720
<v Speaker 5>his career too, no.

374
00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:07.359
<v Speaker 2>Doubt about it. Jose. Final thing, the ankle injury to

375
00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:10.519
<v Speaker 2>Freddy Freeman. He said X rays were negative. He's going

376
00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:13.480
<v Speaker 2>to stay back and just get to work rehabbing this

377
00:20:13.559 --> 00:20:15.920
<v Speaker 2>thing in order to get ready for the NLDS which

378
00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:20.319
<v Speaker 2>begins next Saturday, October fifth. An ankle injuries one of

379
00:20:20.319 --> 00:20:23.200
<v Speaker 2>those things that can linger. And what's the gist you

380
00:20:23.240 --> 00:20:25.720
<v Speaker 2>get to kind of feeling about this ankle injury and

381
00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:27.279
<v Speaker 2>how it can affect Freddy moving forward.

382
00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:29.279
<v Speaker 5>Well, I want to see how it feels tomorrow.

383
00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:29.880
<v Speaker 6>Number one.

384
00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:31.839
<v Speaker 5>Obviously it's going to be nice. He's not going to

385
00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:34.640
<v Speaker 5>be in a plane. But he's a big man. There's

386
00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:37.440
<v Speaker 5>a lot of moving pieces, long limbs and things like that.

387
00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:39.519
<v Speaker 5>But Freddie want to stay in the game. Let me

388
00:20:39.559 --> 00:20:41.039
<v Speaker 5>think about that. And he's the moment he will stand

389
00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:42.880
<v Speaker 5>the game. But dizzy guy also plays through the fracture

390
00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:46.200
<v Speaker 5>in his finger, and you think about everything he's gone through,

391
00:20:46.480 --> 00:20:48.920
<v Speaker 5>all the many challenges with his body, his swing, not

392
00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:51.200
<v Speaker 5>being there all season, and he will tell you, but

393
00:20:51.400 --> 00:20:53.279
<v Speaker 5>the fact that he wanted to stay there today tells

394
00:20:53.319 --> 00:20:56.000
<v Speaker 5>you a whole lot more about in his mind. So

395
00:20:56.039 --> 00:20:58.319
<v Speaker 5>thankfully he's going to have the rest for the rest

396
00:20:58.359 --> 00:21:01.079
<v Speaker 5>of the season, and then on top of that that

397
00:21:01.160 --> 00:21:02.839
<v Speaker 5>hopefully would get him back to a place at least

398
00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:05.519
<v Speaker 5>where he's comfortable and he's not risking himself because you

399
00:21:05.559 --> 00:21:09.640
<v Speaker 5>don't also risk losing more Freddie as Tora progresses by

400
00:21:09.680 --> 00:21:12.799
<v Speaker 5>making a decision premature, so that's the only responds but

401
00:21:12.839 --> 00:21:14.920
<v Speaker 5>obviously on a very good spot to go out there

402
00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:17.279
<v Speaker 5>and wait and make sure that he's properly taken care of.

403
00:21:17.519 --> 00:21:20.759
<v Speaker 2>No doubt about it. Jose, appreciate it. Save flight to Colorado.

404
00:21:20.799 --> 00:21:23.160
<v Speaker 2>We'll figure out who's pitching tomorrow, what the lineup looks like.

405
00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:26.240
<v Speaker 2>But tonight a night of celebration. I imagined even on

406
00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:27.960
<v Speaker 2>that plane heading to Colorado.

407
00:21:28.279 --> 00:21:30.000
<v Speaker 5>Mochi would say, you know what, let the game be

408
00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:31.000
<v Speaker 5>the game tomorrow.

409
00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:34.240
<v Speaker 2>Whatever, all right, Jose appreciate it. We'll check in with

410
00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Jose once the team gets to Colorado. I don't even

411
00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:39.400
<v Speaker 2>know who's scheduled to pitch tomorrow for the Dodgers. I mean,

412
00:21:39.759 --> 00:21:42.640
<v Speaker 2>whoever's scheduled to start. We'll still see if they keep

413
00:21:43.079 --> 00:21:45.920
<v Speaker 2>that rotation as far as the three game series in

414
00:21:46.039 --> 00:21:50.200
<v Speaker 2>Denver intact or adjust it accordingly now knowing they're going

415
00:21:50.279 --> 00:21:54.039
<v Speaker 2>to not play a game then until next Saturday. We

416
00:21:54.119 --> 00:21:57.880
<v Speaker 2>do know Saturday Yamamoto is scheduled to start, to keep

417
00:21:57.960 --> 00:22:02.640
<v Speaker 2>him on schedule then to maybe start game one of

418
00:22:02.720 --> 00:22:05.640
<v Speaker 2>the NLDS. That'll put him seven days away if he

419
00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:08.720
<v Speaker 2>starts on Saturday, so we'll find out. The Dodgers haven't

420
00:22:08.759 --> 00:22:11.200
<v Speaker 2>announced who they're going to start on Friday. In the opener,

421
00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:16.119
<v Speaker 2>we do know that Cal Quantrill will start the venture

422
00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:18.559
<v Speaker 2>right hander will go for Colorado. And to think, the

423
00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:21.400
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers got three more games to play, and yeah, they

424
00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:24.279
<v Speaker 2>clinched the division, but they still only have a one

425
00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:27.200
<v Speaker 2>game lead over the Philadelphiaffillies for the number one overall

426
00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:29.359
<v Speaker 2>spot in the National League. And that's something to keep

427
00:22:29.359 --> 00:22:32.240
<v Speaker 2>in mind. You get a home field advantage in the

428
00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:35.880
<v Speaker 2>NLCS as the number one seed and best record overall

429
00:22:35.960 --> 00:22:38.480
<v Speaker 2>in baseball, So that's important to keep in the back

430
00:22:38.519 --> 00:22:40.920
<v Speaker 2>of your mind. Yeah, they're going to Colorado for three games.

431
00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:43.519
<v Speaker 2>You may think, Ah, we're just gonna throw a lineup

432
00:22:43.559 --> 00:22:45.559
<v Speaker 2>out there, let's see how fast we can get these

433
00:22:45.599 --> 00:22:47.640
<v Speaker 2>games over with and how fast we can get back

434
00:22:47.640 --> 00:22:51.200
<v Speaker 2>to La on Sunday. Well, yeah, you got a little

435
00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:52.839
<v Speaker 2>bit something to play for if you want that number

436
00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:55.200
<v Speaker 2>one overall seed in the National League and have home

437
00:22:55.240 --> 00:22:58.359
<v Speaker 2>field advantage in the NLCS. And also dictates who you're

438
00:22:58.400 --> 00:23:01.680
<v Speaker 2>gonna play in the NLDA. Yes, would you rather play

439
00:23:02.119 --> 00:23:05.079
<v Speaker 2>Arizona or Milwaukee or would you rather play New York

440
00:23:05.119 --> 00:23:07.279
<v Speaker 2>or San Diego? If that's how it does play out

441
00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:10.319
<v Speaker 2>over the next three days. Currently those what the standings

442
00:23:10.319 --> 00:23:12.240
<v Speaker 2>look like? A second quick break, we'll come back. We'll

443
00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:13.799
<v Speaker 2>get to more of your phone calls. What a night

444
00:23:13.839 --> 00:23:17.240
<v Speaker 2>for the Dodgers. A night to celebrate a huge accomplishment,

445
00:23:17.480 --> 00:23:20.319
<v Speaker 2>winning the NL West for the eleven time in the

446
00:23:20.400 --> 00:23:23.160
<v Speaker 2>last twelve years. A lot of guys on this team

467
00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:33.279
<v Speaker 2>Smith spokes them all the center field. He left no

468
00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:37.319
<v Speaker 2>doubt time the game with his twenty home run of

469
00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:41.079
<v Speaker 2>the ear. Will Smith with one swing of the bat

470
00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:44.839
<v Speaker 2>in the seventh inning tie things up. Dodgers Stadium was

471
00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:48.839
<v Speaker 2>rocking as the Dodgers would tack on more five run

472
00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:51.839
<v Speaker 2>seventh inning as they come back and beat the San

473

479
00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:13.119
<v Speaker 2>Daniels Jewelers Own the Dream. Joe Muskgrove was dealing tonight

480
00:25:13.200 --> 00:25:15.839
<v Speaker 2>for the first six innings. Walker Bueller went toe to

481
00:25:15.880 --> 00:25:18.079
<v Speaker 2>toe with him for the first five. The Dodgers turned

482
00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:20.039
<v Speaker 2>it over to the bullpen and they gave up a

483
00:25:20.119 --> 00:25:22.279
<v Speaker 2>run Evan Phillips a run in the sixth inning as

484
00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:24.599
<v Speaker 2>the Padres were up two to nothing, and you kind

485
00:25:24.599 --> 00:25:28.240
<v Speaker 2>of felt like, oh no, Joe Muskrove a low pitch count.

486
00:25:28.640 --> 00:25:31.880
<v Speaker 2>He's been dealing for the first six innings. This bullpen's

487
00:25:31.920 --> 00:25:34.960
<v Speaker 2>ready to go for the Padres. It wasn't looking too good.

488
00:25:35.400 --> 00:25:37.640
<v Speaker 2>And the leadoff walk from Max Munsey and then the

489
00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:39.440
<v Speaker 2>two run home run from Will Smith, and all of

490
00:25:39.480 --> 00:25:42.519
<v Speaker 2>a sudden, the wheels fell off Joe Muskrove and the

491
00:25:42.599 --> 00:25:46.599
<v Speaker 2>Padres tonight and momentum. It's a scary thing. It can

492
00:25:46.680 --> 00:25:49.680
<v Speaker 2>change so quickly, and it did tonight with that home

493
00:25:49.799 --> 00:25:52.720
<v Speaker 2>run from Will Smith. The Dodgers then would pass the baton,

494
00:25:53.119 --> 00:25:56.119
<v Speaker 2>they'd score a run on a show. He Otani rbi single,

495
00:25:56.160 --> 00:25:59.240
<v Speaker 2>his one hundred and twenty sixth RBI this season to

496
00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:01.119
<v Speaker 2>give him a three two leading, the Mookie Betts a

497
00:26:01.119 --> 00:26:03.920
<v Speaker 2>two run single RBI seventy four and seventy five, a

498
00:26:04.039 --> 00:26:05.839
<v Speaker 2>five to two lead for the Dodgers. And then Andy

499
00:26:05.880 --> 00:26:08.680
<v Speaker 2>Pa has hit a home run which I'm not sure

500
00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:13.200
<v Speaker 2>has landed yet four hundred and twenty eight feet. I mean, honestly,

501
00:26:13.279 --> 00:26:16.079
<v Speaker 2>he was maybe five. I mean, just from the camera

502
00:26:16.079 --> 00:26:18.240
<v Speaker 2>angle being here in studio, it looked like he was

503
00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:21.720
<v Speaker 2>maybe five to ten feet away from hitting it onto

504
00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:26.720
<v Speaker 2>the concourse in the circle bar behind the bullpen in

505
00:26:26.839 --> 00:26:30.960
<v Speaker 2>left field. He absolutely crushed it. They showed Kevin Kiermyer

506
00:26:31.079 --> 00:26:34.279
<v Speaker 2>on the Dodger bench, hanging over the railing and celebrating

507
00:26:34.319 --> 00:26:36.400
<v Speaker 2>with Andy Pozz as he ran around the bases doing

508
00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:41.480
<v Speaker 2>that kind of dance, and Kevin Kiermeyer just mouthed, oh my,

509
00:26:42.319 --> 00:26:46.000
<v Speaker 2>he couldn't believe how hard and how far that Andy

510
00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:48.440
<v Speaker 2>Pa has home run went into the back of the

511
00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:51.039
<v Speaker 2>bullpen there at Dodgers Stadium. So the Dodgers cletched the

512
00:26:51.160 --> 00:26:53.440
<v Speaker 2>NL West with a seven to two win tonight. Now

513
00:26:53.440 --> 00:26:55.680
<v Speaker 2>it's off to Denver for the start of a three

514
00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:58.039
<v Speaker 2>game in series. We'll find out who the Dodger starting

515
00:26:58.079 --> 00:27:01.359
<v Speaker 2>pitcher will be probably tomorrow, as the Dodgers have not

516
00:27:01.400 --> 00:27:04.279
<v Speaker 2>officially announced who that will be. Jeff and Sierra Madre

517
00:27:04.440 --> 00:27:06.839
<v Speaker 2>joins us now on Dodger Talk. Welcome, Jeff, how you doing.

518
00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:11.839
<v Speaker 6>Oh thanks stim Thanks for taking my call. You know

519
00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:17.240
<v Speaker 6>you are a stud. I love Dodger Talk. I listened

520
00:27:17.319 --> 00:27:21.079
<v Speaker 6>on iHeartRadio. I stream it because the mountains are right

521
00:27:21.119 --> 00:27:26.279
<v Speaker 6>here and you can't get you know, the blowtorch.

522
00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:29.200
<v Speaker 2>I feel like a big butt is coming.

523
00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:34.039
<v Speaker 6>What do you think about the rivalry between the Dodgers

524
00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:37.279
<v Speaker 6>and the Pods. I mean, I went to stay in

525
00:27:37.319 --> 00:27:41.640
<v Speaker 6>the state, but I'm I was born in LA. But

526
00:27:42.359 --> 00:27:45.160
<v Speaker 6>you know, you know, I kind of let they're they're

527
00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:48.119
<v Speaker 6>the dads. How do you feel about the Podrais as

528
00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:48.799
<v Speaker 6>a rivalry.

529
00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:52.240
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate Jeff the Giants. Yeah, well, certainly over the

530
00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:57.279
<v Speaker 2>history of baseball and going back to New York and

531
00:27:57.440 --> 00:27:59.680
<v Speaker 2>the fact that these two teams, the Dodgers and Giants,

532
00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:02.400
<v Speaker 2>came out out in the same time, the same year,

533
00:28:02.519 --> 00:28:06.839
<v Speaker 2>the same offseason. There's that, and there's a long history

534
00:28:06.920 --> 00:28:12.119
<v Speaker 2>with the Giants, certainly, and that's one rivalry, But who's

535
00:28:12.160 --> 00:28:14.319
<v Speaker 2>to say you can't have another rivalry. And I'd like

536
00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:16.960
<v Speaker 2>to think the Arizona Diamondbacks are starting to build themselves

537
00:28:17.160 --> 00:28:19.039
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of a rivalry with the Dodgers as

538
00:28:19.039 --> 00:28:21.400
<v Speaker 2>they get better. And certainly what they did last year

539
00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:24.640
<v Speaker 2>knocking out the Dodgers and the NLDS played him tough

540
00:28:24.720 --> 00:28:28.680
<v Speaker 2>all season long this year. In the last ten years, yeah,

541
00:28:28.839 --> 00:28:33.279
<v Speaker 2>there has emerged a rivalry between the Dodgers and Padres. Certainly.

542
00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:36.599
<v Speaker 2>Does it have the history. Does it have the Wikipedia

543
00:28:36.640 --> 00:28:39.440
<v Speaker 2>page that you can go look and say, wow, look

544
00:28:39.480 --> 00:28:41.079
<v Speaker 2>at all the great names that play, and look at

545
00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:43.440
<v Speaker 2>how many times this team knocked off that team and

546
00:28:43.559 --> 00:28:45.759
<v Speaker 2>ruined this team season and beat this team in the

547
00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:47.920
<v Speaker 2>postseason and went on a winning World Series. It doesn't

548
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:51.920
<v Speaker 2>have that Wikipedia history. It just doesn't. But over the

549
00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:56.480
<v Speaker 2>last ten years it is certainly escalated and it has

550
00:28:56.519 --> 00:28:59.880
<v Speaker 2>certainly got it heated the Dodgers and Padres, and I

551
00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:03.359
<v Speaker 2>think it's turned in in the moment right now, as

552
00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:07.000
<v Speaker 2>we speak here in twenty twenty four, the rivalry between

553
00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:10.079
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers and the Padres right now as we speak,

554
00:29:10.759 --> 00:29:13.160
<v Speaker 2>is better than the Dodgers and Giants. Now, the history

555
00:29:13.200 --> 00:29:17.200
<v Speaker 2>isn't there, certainly, but in the moment, yeah, they've had

556
00:29:17.279 --> 00:29:21.200
<v Speaker 2>better contests, more competitive. Both teams are fighting for something.

557
00:29:21.960 --> 00:29:25.119
<v Speaker 2>I mean, really, the Dodgers and Giants. Outside of a

558
00:29:25.160 --> 00:29:26.960
<v Speaker 2>couple of years ago when they were, you know, looking

559
00:29:26.960 --> 00:29:29.039
<v Speaker 2>for the best record in baseball in the most wins

560
00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:31.519
<v Speaker 2>that year, you know, either the Giants have been really

561
00:29:31.519 --> 00:29:33.000
<v Speaker 2>good or the Dodgers have been really good. It hasn't

562
00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:35.400
<v Speaker 2>been really competitive back and forth. Hasn't been much of

563
00:29:35.440 --> 00:29:38.480
<v Speaker 2>a rivalry to talk about. But yeah, you can make

564
00:29:38.480 --> 00:29:40.359
<v Speaker 2>a case to certainly the Padres and Dodgers over the

565
00:29:40.440 --> 00:29:42.640
<v Speaker 2>last ten years, maybe the last eight years, it is

566
00:29:42.680 --> 00:29:46.400
<v Speaker 2>certainly escalated. Franken Monrovia is next up here on Dodger Talk.

567
00:29:46.480 --> 00:29:47.240
<v Speaker 2>Hi Frank, how you doing?

568
00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:49.319
<v Speaker 6>Hey Sam?

569
00:29:50.119 --> 00:29:51.680
<v Speaker 9>Great Tarri your voice?

570
00:29:51.880 --> 00:29:52.279
<v Speaker 2>You know what?

571
00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:54.720
<v Speaker 9>First one to give two shout outs. One to Walker

572
00:29:54.759 --> 00:29:58.119
<v Speaker 9>Bueller for stepping onto that mound today and showing some

573
00:29:58.119 --> 00:30:01.359
<v Speaker 9>true leadership when you know the bats were going silent.

574
00:30:01.440 --> 00:30:04.160
<v Speaker 9>He stayed cool up there, went toe to toe with

575
00:30:04.279 --> 00:30:06.680
<v Speaker 9>Musk Grove and said, you know what, I'm gonna hold

576
00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:08.920
<v Speaker 9>on to this game. You know what, Anthony Bonda got

577
00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:12.160
<v Speaker 9>the win, but Walker Bueller won everyone over today with

578
00:30:12.160 --> 00:30:16.559
<v Speaker 9>that performance. Second thing is, you know what, props to you.

579
00:30:16.519 --> 00:30:17.240
<v Speaker 2>Guys in the booths.

580
00:30:17.359 --> 00:30:20.920
<v Speaker 9>Okay, you guys in the booth, you Dave, everybody in

581
00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:23.200
<v Speaker 9>the booth has worked just as hard as the guys

582
00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:25.440
<v Speaker 9>in the field. You don't suffer the same injuries, but

583
00:30:25.480 --> 00:30:27.759
<v Speaker 9>you guys have the same issues going on, and you

584
00:30:27.799 --> 00:30:30.119
<v Speaker 9>know what, props to you. I know it's been rough.

585
00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:30.519
<v Speaker 5>I know.

586
00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:32.440
<v Speaker 9>You know I missed Charlie early on in the year,

587
00:30:32.480 --> 00:30:34.920
<v Speaker 9>and you know I still to this day wish him

588
00:30:34.920 --> 00:30:37.400
<v Speaker 9>the best in recovery. And then the last thing is

589
00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:39.559
<v Speaker 9>rip Oakland A's.

590
00:30:39.599 --> 00:30:42.160
<v Speaker 2>Thanks all right, Frank, appreciate it. Yeah, today is last

591
00:30:42.200 --> 00:30:45.240
<v Speaker 2>day of the Oakland A's and their coliseum in Oakland,

592
00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:48.119
<v Speaker 2>after that long history of being there, Rick Monday having

593
00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:51.359
<v Speaker 2>helped move the team from Kansas City to Oakland, and

594
00:30:51.640 --> 00:30:54.440
<v Speaker 2>the history day having that ballpark, the World Series, the

595
00:30:54.440 --> 00:30:58.039
<v Speaker 2>World Series losses, the players that have come through there. Yeah,

596
00:30:58.119 --> 00:30:59.880
<v Speaker 2>sad day in the Bay Area with the Oakland A's

597
00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:02.359
<v Speaker 2>in their final game at the Oakland Alameda County Coliseum.

598
00:31:02.440 --> 00:31:04.640
<v Speaker 2>But you know what, there's a lot more up to

599
00:31:04.720 --> 00:31:07.519
<v Speaker 2>that in that city that's happening. And the politics with

600
00:31:07.559 --> 00:31:11.519
<v Speaker 2>the new stadiums is it is what it is. It's

601
00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:14.519
<v Speaker 2>way above any my pay grade, anybody else is. But

602
00:31:14.920 --> 00:31:16.839
<v Speaker 2>to watch it from kind of a distance here, to

603
00:31:16.880 --> 00:31:20.720
<v Speaker 2>see the Raiders leave, to see the Oakland A's just

604
00:31:20.880 --> 00:31:22.599
<v Speaker 2>not able to come to an agreement and get a

605
00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:25.799
<v Speaker 2>stadium up there even though they wanted to. And say

606
00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:28.119
<v Speaker 2>what you want about ownership up there in Oakland, say

607
00:31:28.119 --> 00:31:30.799
<v Speaker 2>what you want about the politics up there in Oakland

608
00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:33.920
<v Speaker 2>and the city council and the inability to the counties

609
00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:36.839
<v Speaker 2>to come together and figure out funding all that stuff.

610
00:31:36.839 --> 00:31:39.039
<v Speaker 2>That's that's all. It is, what it is, that's outside

611
00:31:39.039 --> 00:31:42.359
<v Speaker 2>of between the lines of baseball, but between the lines.

612
00:31:42.440 --> 00:31:46.599
<v Speaker 2>Certainly sad day for Oakland A's fans and the fans

613
00:31:46.640 --> 00:31:48.559
<v Speaker 2>up there in the Bay Area to see a team leave,

614
00:31:48.599 --> 00:31:50.160
<v Speaker 2>go to Sacramento for the next couple of years and

615
00:31:50.200 --> 00:31:53.359
<v Speaker 2>then off to Vegas eventually with that new stadium gets built.

616
00:31:53.400 --> 00:31:56.960
<v Speaker 2>You mentioned Walker Bueller and what he did tonight, and yeah,

617
00:31:57.000 --> 00:32:01.079
<v Speaker 2>he didn't get to win it wasn't a tax performance,

618
00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:03.880
<v Speaker 2>so this peak from Walker Buehler, but dang it, it

619
00:32:03.920 --> 00:32:06.400
<v Speaker 2>was a really good performance from Walker Buehler, his best

620
00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:08.480
<v Speaker 2>of the year. Five solid innings. He begged to go

621
00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:11.039
<v Speaker 2>back out there to Dave Roberts in the dugout for

622
00:32:11.119 --> 00:32:13.599
<v Speaker 2>the six. Dave Roberts elected to go to Evan Phillips

623
00:32:13.640 --> 00:32:16.880
<v Speaker 2>in the bullpen. But Walker Buehler one run, five hits,

624
00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:19.400
<v Speaker 2>one walk, and that walk turned up to be the

625
00:32:19.519 --> 00:32:22.839
<v Speaker 2>run that scored. One strikeout, got a lot of contact

626
00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:25.319
<v Speaker 2>ground balls, was getting the head in the count. Walker

627
00:32:25.359 --> 00:32:28.640
<v Speaker 2>Buehler today raised his hand, stood up and said, yep,

628
00:32:29.079 --> 00:32:30.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm back and I want to be a part of

629
00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:34.160
<v Speaker 2>this postseason roster. And afterwards in the clubhouse, listen to

630
00:32:34.200 --> 00:32:36.680
<v Speaker 2>Walker Bueler talk with David Vas say a Walker Buehler

631
00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:39.640
<v Speaker 2>in his voice, sounds like a guy who's got one

632
00:32:39.680 --> 00:32:41.640
<v Speaker 2>thousand pounds weight off his shoulders.

633
00:32:42.039 --> 00:32:42.799
<v Speaker 7>All right, we're.

634
00:32:42.720 --> 00:32:47.279
<v Speaker 11>Here with the big game pitcher himself. You taine Walker Buehler.

635
00:32:47.359 --> 00:32:49.960
<v Speaker 11>Walker for you to come out tonight and pitch five

636
00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:53.559
<v Speaker 11>strong innings. After how much you've tried to get this together.

637
00:32:53.640 --> 00:32:54.559
<v Speaker 2>What does it mean to you?

638
00:32:54.799 --> 00:33:00.200
<v Speaker 12>It's nice to contribute fine, Yeah, this is I've been

639
00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:03.359
<v Speaker 12>very fortunate to pitching some very big games and do okay,

640
00:33:03.400 --> 00:33:06.960
<v Speaker 12>And no, this is what I play this game for.

641
00:33:07.680 --> 00:33:11.440
<v Speaker 11>What was your mentality coming into this game, not just today,

642
00:33:11.519 --> 00:33:14.000
<v Speaker 11>but leading up to it, knowing what was at stake?

643
00:33:14.359 --> 00:33:17.200
<v Speaker 12>This is a playoff game for us, right, Like the

644
00:33:17.279 --> 00:33:20.960
<v Speaker 12>number two team in the division. US kind of came

645
00:33:21.000 --> 00:33:23.039
<v Speaker 12>into our destiny and we win the game, win the division.

646
00:33:23.160 --> 00:33:27.279
<v Speaker 12>Like that's kind of what what gets me going, and

647
00:33:27.400 --> 00:33:33.640
<v Speaker 12>so not much mentally, just go And so now I'm excitic.

648
00:33:33.640 --> 00:33:37.720
<v Speaker 12>Obviously our team, you know, has carried me and let

649
00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:40.960
<v Speaker 12>me kind of tread water for a long time. And

650
00:33:40.960 --> 00:33:43.599
<v Speaker 12>it's a nice, nice failure to have a good one

651
00:33:43.599 --> 00:33:44.279
<v Speaker 12>in a big spot.

652
00:33:44.720 --> 00:33:46.759
<v Speaker 11>I'm not sure if you're aware of this. The last

653
00:33:46.799 --> 00:33:50.960
<v Speaker 11>time you clinched a division championship with fans at Dodger

654
00:33:51.039 --> 00:33:55.000
<v Speaker 11>Stadium was Game one sixty three back in twenty eighteen.

655
00:33:55.519 --> 00:33:57.480
<v Speaker 11>For you to do it in front of this crowd,

656
00:33:57.680 --> 00:33:58.519
<v Speaker 11>is it even sweeter?

657
00:33:59.400 --> 00:34:01.400
<v Speaker 12>Yeah?

658
00:34:01.599 --> 00:34:03.519
<v Speaker 11>You remember Game one sixty three, don't you?

659
00:34:03.880 --> 00:34:04.279
<v Speaker 7>I don't.

660
00:34:04.400 --> 00:34:05.000
<v Speaker 13>I don't remember.

661
00:34:05.119 --> 00:34:11.119
<v Speaker 12>No, No, I mean, listen, man, this this is what

662
00:34:11.159 --> 00:34:13.800
<v Speaker 12>I play this game for. And I'm really proud of

663
00:34:13.840 --> 00:34:18.119
<v Speaker 12>our team to do it, come from behind, and it's uh,

664
00:34:18.639 --> 00:34:19.880
<v Speaker 12>there's a good feeling around.

665
00:34:19.639 --> 00:34:20.239
<v Speaker 8>This team right now.

666
00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:21.960
<v Speaker 11>You wanted more, didn't you.

667
00:34:22.119 --> 00:34:24.840
<v Speaker 2>Of course you're gonna get more. Buehler.

668
00:34:25.159 --> 00:34:28.400
<v Speaker 11>There's another three rounds to go and Walker, but Tane

669
00:34:28.400 --> 00:34:31.559
<v Speaker 11>Buhler will be there. Never a doubt that ever watched

670
00:34:31.559 --> 00:34:34.719
<v Speaker 11>Walker Buehler pitch. They know what you're about, and nobody

671
00:34:34.760 --> 00:34:38.159
<v Speaker 11>should be surprised wins. You see guys later, there he

672
00:34:38.239 --> 00:34:41.880
<v Speaker 11>goes Walker Buehller, the number one horse for the Dodgers tonight.

673
00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:44.880
<v Speaker 2>All right, David Vez, there will Walker Bueller. You could

674
00:34:44.920 --> 00:34:48.599
<v Speaker 2>just feel the confidence that he has now and certainly

675
00:34:48.639 --> 00:34:51.480
<v Speaker 2>the weight that has been taken off his shoulders for

676
00:34:51.519 --> 00:34:53.800
<v Speaker 2>a guy who has been trying to come back from

677
00:34:53.800 --> 00:34:58.360
<v Speaker 2>his second Tommy John surgery. Wanted to come back last September,

678
00:34:58.800 --> 00:35:01.679
<v Speaker 2>and they decided just you know, wait, let's get to

679
00:35:01.719 --> 00:35:04.800
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty four. No need to rush it back. He

680
00:35:04.840 --> 00:35:07.079
<v Speaker 2>didn't start the season in the rotation, and when he

681
00:35:07.119 --> 00:35:09.400
<v Speaker 2>came back, just did not see the results that he

682
00:35:09.440 --> 00:35:11.960
<v Speaker 2>had hoped for. And this certainly the Dodgers had hoped for.

683
00:35:12.320 --> 00:35:15.840
<v Speaker 2>But a credit to this front office, this coaching staff,

684
00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:19.679
<v Speaker 2>Mark Prior Dave Roberts, Connor mcguinnis, everybody involved in the

685
00:35:19.719 --> 00:35:24.000
<v Speaker 2>decision making. They didn't give up on him, and very

686
00:35:24.039 --> 00:35:26.239
<v Speaker 2>easily could have said, you know what, this isn't Walker

687
00:35:26.280 --> 00:35:29.760
<v Speaker 2>Buehler's year, final year of his contracts. We're just going

688
00:35:29.840 --> 00:35:31.880
<v Speaker 2>to go in a different direction. And I think maybe

689
00:35:31.920 --> 00:35:35.360
<v Speaker 2>part of it was because of injuries. You know, quite frankly,

690
00:35:35.440 --> 00:35:38.800
<v Speaker 2>they needed him to go out there in pitch because

691
00:35:38.880 --> 00:35:43.079
<v Speaker 2>other guys were hurt. And while Walker Buller necessarily wasn't hurt,

692
00:35:43.559 --> 00:35:46.199
<v Speaker 2>he was trying to figure out his mechanics, maybe the

693
00:35:46.239 --> 00:35:50.039
<v Speaker 2>mental side of it, whatever, and constantly going out there

694
00:35:50.039 --> 00:35:53.719
<v Speaker 2>and battling, giving up four runs, giving up three runs,

695
00:35:53.760 --> 00:35:56.000
<v Speaker 2>giving up four runs in three and a third of

696
00:35:56.039 --> 00:35:58.320
<v Speaker 2>the Brewers, like he did coming back and get up

697
00:35:58.320 --> 00:36:00.679
<v Speaker 2>seven runs to the Rockies in Denver, not able to

698
00:36:00.719 --> 00:36:03.440
<v Speaker 2>get out of the fourth inning, just struggling and not

699
00:36:03.440 --> 00:36:07.519
<v Speaker 2>getting the results that he wanted. But his last few

700
00:36:07.599 --> 00:36:12.239
<v Speaker 2>outings things changed. You know, he went out there and

701
00:36:12.679 --> 00:36:15.119
<v Speaker 2>I think it was Jack Flaherty who said it the

702
00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:17.639
<v Speaker 2>outing he had in Atlanta, Yeah, it was Jack Win

703
00:36:17.679 --> 00:36:20.800
<v Speaker 2>the postgame show with David Vasse and talking about Walker

704
00:36:20.800 --> 00:36:22.599
<v Speaker 2>Buller and Jack Flerity you remember, went out and didn't

705
00:36:22.599 --> 00:36:26.559
<v Speaker 2>have a good outing, and Walker Buehler came back and

706
00:36:26.639 --> 00:36:31.599
<v Speaker 2>had a really good six innings. Struck out five, allowed

707
00:36:31.599 --> 00:36:35.239
<v Speaker 2>two runs, only one earn, gave up three hits, got

708
00:36:35.280 --> 00:36:37.559
<v Speaker 2>a no decision out of it, and the Dodgers won

709
00:36:37.599 --> 00:36:39.239
<v Speaker 2>the game because they scored a bunch of runs late

710
00:36:39.280 --> 00:36:42.159
<v Speaker 2>after Bueler was out of the game. But that was

711
00:36:42.199 --> 00:36:44.599
<v Speaker 2>that moment where you're like, Okay, maybe he's turned the corner.

712
00:36:45.079 --> 00:36:48.079
<v Speaker 2>Comes back, pitches into the sixth inning last weekend, gives

713
00:36:48.159 --> 00:36:50.719
<v Speaker 2>up four runs, but strikes out nine, only walks one.

714
00:36:51.320 --> 00:36:53.480
<v Speaker 2>You know, has command there, had a good feel for

715
00:36:53.519 --> 00:36:56.719
<v Speaker 2>all three of his pitches, all right back to back starts,

716
00:36:56.760 --> 00:37:00.599
<v Speaker 2>feeling good, he's progressing, he's kind of making that next step.

717
00:37:00.920 --> 00:37:04.639
<v Speaker 2>And tonight Walker Buehler comes out and was really good

718
00:37:04.639 --> 00:37:07.840
<v Speaker 2>for five innings, one run, five hits, The walk came

719
00:37:07.880 --> 00:37:12.159
<v Speaker 2>back to bite him. One strikeout, seventy one pitches, seven

720
00:37:12.199 --> 00:37:14.679
<v Speaker 2>ground ball outs, got a head in the count, good command,

721
00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:18.920
<v Speaker 2>a really good outing from Walker Buehler, and fingers crossed.

722
00:37:19.440 --> 00:37:22.199
<v Speaker 2>Now three straight starts in which he has gotten better

723
00:37:22.599 --> 00:37:26.519
<v Speaker 2>and progressed and got deeper and kept the Dodgers in

724
00:37:26.639 --> 00:37:28.519
<v Speaker 2>games and kept the other team off the scoreboard for

725
00:37:28.559 --> 00:37:32.039
<v Speaker 2>the most part without those big innings. You know, we

726
00:37:32.119 --> 00:37:35.880
<v Speaker 2>could see Walker Buehler in this NLDS for this Dodger team.

727
00:37:35.920 --> 00:37:38.480
<v Speaker 2>Cody garden Grove is next up here on Dodger Talk.

<v Speaker 13>and a half years of my life. Now I'm thirty seven,

744
00:38:32.119 --> 00:38:32.800
<v Speaker 2>We really appreciate it.

745
00:38:32.800 --> 00:38:34.840
<v Speaker 13>How you guys do is announce it and tell it

746
00:38:34.840 --> 00:38:35.199
<v Speaker 13>it lies.

747
00:38:35.440 --> 00:38:35.719
<v Speaker 6>I love.

748
00:38:35.840 --> 00:38:37.320
<v Speaker 13>I loved listening to you guys. I love turning the

749
00:38:37.400 --> 00:38:39.000
<v Speaker 13>radio on it and hearing it. I wanted to call

750
00:38:39.079 --> 00:38:42.000
<v Speaker 13>in the day show and congratulations with the Dodgers too,

751
00:38:42.039 --> 00:38:43.800
<v Speaker 13>Holing eleven of twelve years.

752
00:38:43.760 --> 00:38:46.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no doubt and show, Oh Tony, what a season

753
00:38:46.159 --> 00:38:46.559
<v Speaker 2>he's had.

754
00:38:46.800 --> 00:38:47.559
<v Speaker 13>Oh what a season?

755
00:38:47.639 --> 00:38:47.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

756
00:38:47.920 --> 00:38:48.280
<v Speaker 6>Show, Hey.

757
00:38:48.280 --> 00:38:49.719
<v Speaker 13>I wanted to call in the day he went fifty

758
00:38:49.719 --> 00:38:51.719
<v Speaker 13>to fifty. I remember exactly where I was when he

759
00:38:51.800 --> 00:38:54.159
<v Speaker 13>hit his fiftieth home run. I went fifty stolen bases

760
00:38:54.199 --> 00:38:55.800
<v Speaker 13>and I wanted to call in that day, but I

761
00:38:55.800 --> 00:38:56.840
<v Speaker 13>didn't get through that day.

762
00:38:57.280 --> 00:38:59.199
<v Speaker 2>What do you think, Cody, you think this team's got

763
00:38:59.320 --> 00:38:59.920
<v Speaker 2>enough pitching?

764
00:39:00.760 --> 00:39:01.599
<v Speaker 6>I think they do.

765
00:39:01.760 --> 00:39:03.320
<v Speaker 13>They just need to harness the energy.

766
00:39:03.960 --> 00:39:06.800
<v Speaker 2>Okay, okay, And I love how the offense is. I

767
00:39:06.840 --> 00:39:10.360
<v Speaker 2>love how the offense Cody is different, guys, obviously.

768
00:39:10.199 --> 00:39:12.480
<v Speaker 13>Show everybody contributes in their own way.

769
00:39:12.639 --> 00:39:15.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, welcome you tonight Will Smith at the home run.

770
00:39:15.199 --> 00:39:17.199
<v Speaker 2>Will Smith's been struggling at the plate and comes through

771
00:39:17.199 --> 00:39:18.280
<v Speaker 2>with a huge home run to night.

772
00:39:18.840 --> 00:39:22.119
<v Speaker 13>Yes, they did. Everybody harness. Everybody contributes to their own

773
00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:23.880
<v Speaker 13>way and they harness their energy. They just need to

774
00:39:23.880 --> 00:39:25.599
<v Speaker 13>harness it and they'll get in their own they'll get

775
00:39:25.639 --> 00:39:26.559
<v Speaker 13>no vibe in a role.

776
00:39:26.639 --> 00:39:29.119
<v Speaker 2>Well, bless you, Cody. We appreciate the nice words. Thank

777
00:39:29.159 --> 00:39:31.559
<v Speaker 2>you so much for listening to all the Dodger games

778
00:39:31.559 --> 00:39:33.599
<v Speaker 2>here on a five seventy. And thank you, Hope if

779
00:39:33.639 --> 00:39:37.159
<v Speaker 2>you're listening all October long, and it's a deep run, right, yes, sir,

780
00:39:37.519 --> 00:39:40.119
<v Speaker 2>we go all the way. That's right, all right, Cody,

781
00:39:40.119 --> 00:39:42.159
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate. Don't be a stranger. Check back in here

782
00:39:42.480 --> 00:39:44.639
<v Speaker 2>on Dodger Talk. Awesome. Love to thank you for the

783
00:39:44.719 --> 00:39:48.719
<v Speaker 2>nice compliments. But yeah, we're we're here enjoying Dodger baseball

784
00:39:48.760 --> 00:39:51.440
<v Speaker 2>right along with you. Colin the East here every single game,

785
00:39:51.559 --> 00:39:55.159
<v Speaker 2>Dwayne McDonald, every single game in the booth. It's a grind.

786
00:39:55.320 --> 00:39:58.039
<v Speaker 2>It's a grind for the broadcast cruise, it's it's a

787
00:39:58.079 --> 00:40:00.360
<v Speaker 2>grind for everybody, but it's fun when the t win.

788
00:40:00.519 --> 00:40:02.840
<v Speaker 2>Imagine being a part of a broadcast crew for a

789
00:40:02.840 --> 00:40:05.559
<v Speaker 2>team that wins sixty games, for a team that doesn't

790
00:40:05.599 --> 00:40:09.480
<v Speaker 2>make the playoffs, year in and year out, like the Angels,

791
00:40:10.159 --> 00:40:13.239
<v Speaker 2>being a part of a team that just struggles to

792
00:40:13.280 --> 00:40:17.639
<v Speaker 2>get to October ever or occasionally, and to now go

793
00:40:17.800 --> 00:40:19.880
<v Speaker 2>eleven out of the last twelve years. As long as

794
00:40:19.920 --> 00:40:22.800
<v Speaker 2>I've been along with this Dodger broadcast, doing all the

795
00:40:22.840 --> 00:40:25.559
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers on decks and joining you here on getaway days

796
00:40:25.599 --> 00:40:30.719
<v Speaker 2>and offseason Dodger talks, that's all I know is Dodger playoffs.

797
00:40:31.159 --> 00:40:34.400
<v Speaker 2>It's all I know. Yeah, the one year they didn't

798
00:40:34.400 --> 00:40:37.519
<v Speaker 2>win the division, they still went to the playoffs. Twelve

799
00:40:37.559 --> 00:40:42.719
<v Speaker 2>straight playoff appearances, pretty remarkable. Isaac is next up here

800
00:40:42.760 --> 00:40:44.639
<v Speaker 2>on postgame Dodger Talk. Isaac, how you doing.

801
00:40:45.440 --> 00:40:47.679
<v Speaker 14>How's it going, Tim, I'm doing great.

802
00:40:47.840 --> 00:40:50.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm excited. I feel great. Now the Walker Bueller hopefully

803
00:40:50.880 --> 00:40:52.840
<v Speaker 2>is turning the corner and maybe you can have an

804
00:40:52.840 --> 00:40:55.719
<v Speaker 2>extra pitcher that can rely upon now come October. I'm excited.

805
00:40:56.920 --> 00:40:57.159
<v Speaker 10>Nice.

806
00:40:57.280 --> 00:40:59.519
<v Speaker 14>Nice, I'd like to say thank you for taking my call,

807
00:41:00.480 --> 00:41:02.400
<v Speaker 14>But what I'd like to say is what an amazing

808
00:41:02.440 --> 00:41:06.960
<v Speaker 14>and crucial performance by Walker Buehler Considering what these podjets

809
00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:09.159
<v Speaker 14>have been doing lately. I think it's just a testament

810
00:41:09.199 --> 00:41:12.960
<v Speaker 14>to this guy's grit, his determination, and that dog in him.

811
00:41:13.559 --> 00:41:16.400
<v Speaker 14>I think it was refreshing to see contributions by Will

812
00:41:16.440 --> 00:41:19.119
<v Speaker 14>Smith and Andy Pajes. And you know, Tim, I know

813
00:41:19.159 --> 00:41:22.400
<v Speaker 14>it's been some time since that unbelievable show, Hey fifty

814
00:41:22.440 --> 00:41:24.880
<v Speaker 14>to fifty game, but I think it's just unreal that

815
00:41:24.960 --> 00:41:27.639
<v Speaker 14>it just feels like that magic hasn't faded and I

816
00:41:27.719 --> 00:41:29.960
<v Speaker 14>just feel like there's so much more in store. And

817
00:41:30.039 --> 00:41:32.519
<v Speaker 14>if anything, I think it just shows that this Dodger

818
00:41:32.599 --> 00:41:35.360
<v Speaker 14>team just you know, loves getting over those hurdles. It's

819
00:41:35.360 --> 00:41:37.880
<v Speaker 14>what we've been doing all year and just you know,

820
00:41:38.239 --> 00:41:39.719
<v Speaker 14>can't wait to see what we have coming up.

821
00:41:39.880 --> 00:41:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, me too. I'm excited, Isaac. I think about this

822
00:41:42.079 --> 00:41:43.920
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers team and the ruts and the ups and downs

823
00:41:43.960 --> 00:41:46.840
<v Speaker 2>they've gone through, and you know, well, we're not hitting

824
00:41:46.840 --> 00:41:49.960
<v Speaker 2>a stride at the right time, is what Dodger fans

825
00:41:50.000 --> 00:41:52.159
<v Speaker 2>were saying. We're in a rut right now. We lost,

826
00:41:52.400 --> 00:41:54.559
<v Speaker 2>you know, two of four in Atlanta. How do we

827
00:41:54.599 --> 00:41:57.400
<v Speaker 2>split the braves? We're down right now? How do we

828
00:41:57.440 --> 00:42:00.239
<v Speaker 2>lose the series opener in Miami? I'm that the rest

829
00:42:00.239 --> 00:42:03.079
<v Speaker 2>of that road trip, I mean, what's going on? No,

830
00:42:04.679 --> 00:42:06.440
<v Speaker 2>you want to hit your pace right before the All

831
00:42:06.480 --> 00:42:09.039
<v Speaker 2>Star you know, right before the postseason starts and for

832
00:42:09.119 --> 00:42:11.800
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers. You know, you gotta start feeling good about

833
00:42:11.880 --> 00:42:13.880
<v Speaker 2>the way they're playing right now, the way they're coming

834
00:42:13.920 --> 00:42:16.320
<v Speaker 2>back and winning games, the way different guys are contributing,

835
00:42:16.360 --> 00:42:19.639
<v Speaker 2>whether it's Taoscar, whether it's Tommy Edmond, whether it's Will

836
00:42:19.679 --> 00:42:22.119
<v Speaker 2>Smith tonight or a Max Monsey getting it started, or

837
00:42:22.159 --> 00:42:24.840
<v Speaker 2>of course Freddie Freeman MOOKI and show Hey, o Tani,

838
00:42:25.599 --> 00:42:27.960
<v Speaker 2>it's pretty fun. Mark's gonna be our final call here

839
00:42:27.960 --> 00:42:30.480
<v Speaker 2>tonight in the Huntingson Beach area. Mark, how you doing?

840
00:42:31.119 --> 00:42:31.360
<v Speaker 6>Hey?

841
00:42:31.599 --> 00:42:35.760
<v Speaker 10>Pretty good yourself? I'm doing great, okay, especially after the

842
00:42:35.880 --> 00:42:38.760
<v Speaker 10>night right. Hey, one thing that someone haven't touched on

843
00:42:38.840 --> 00:42:41.400
<v Speaker 10>unless I missed it, this game could have gone a

844
00:42:41.440 --> 00:42:46.039
<v Speaker 10>lot differently if that interference call hadn't been called, and

845
00:42:46.159 --> 00:42:48.159
<v Speaker 10>if the UMP had just decided to see it but

846
00:42:48.280 --> 00:42:51.360
<v Speaker 10>ignore it, the game could have been a real nail binder,

847
00:42:51.519 --> 00:42:52.960
<v Speaker 10>even worse, if you know what I mean.

848
00:42:53.760 --> 00:42:56.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean a lot of things went the Dodgers way.

849
00:42:56.360 --> 00:42:59.719
<v Speaker 2>But again, credit to the Dodgers for creating that chaos

850
00:42:59.760 --> 00:43:02.400
<v Speaker 2>so speak, and I appreciate it. Mark. And it started

851
00:43:02.400 --> 00:43:05.599
<v Speaker 2>with the leadoff walk to Max Munsey. It did. Joe

852
00:43:05.679 --> 00:43:08.599
<v Speaker 2>Muskrove was at what seventy two pitches. Colin right around there,

853
00:43:08.840 --> 00:43:11.519
<v Speaker 2>just to chat over seventy pitches going in to that

854
00:43:11.639 --> 00:43:13.960
<v Speaker 2>seventh inning. It's not like he was running at a

855
00:43:14.039 --> 00:43:18.639
<v Speaker 2>gas as far as pitch count wise, but he got

856
00:43:18.679 --> 00:43:20.960
<v Speaker 2>into the seventh inning, got a head in the count

857
00:43:21.000 --> 00:43:24.000
<v Speaker 2>to Max Munsey, and then Max Munsey was able to

858
00:43:24.079 --> 00:43:26.840
<v Speaker 2>draw the walk to lead it off the inning, and

859
00:43:26.880 --> 00:43:28.760
<v Speaker 2>then a three to one pitch that he would probably

860
00:43:28.760 --> 00:43:32.000
<v Speaker 2>want back in Max with Will Smith and who crushes

861
00:43:32.039 --> 00:43:35.119
<v Speaker 2>it to center field for a home run. Yeah, you

862
00:43:35.159 --> 00:43:40.039
<v Speaker 2>can see the momentum change absolutely quickly in favor of

863
00:43:40.079 --> 00:43:43.960
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers tonight. And sure the infield or the single

864
00:43:43.960 --> 00:43:46.599
<v Speaker 2>from Keky Hernandez off the bench was big because he

865
00:43:46.639 --> 00:43:49.159
<v Speaker 2>had struggled to going into that matchup against Tanner Scott

866
00:43:49.400 --> 00:43:51.800
<v Speaker 2>in their head to have matchups over his career. But

867
00:43:52.000 --> 00:43:54.960
<v Speaker 2>he gets the better of Tanner Scott for a single.

868
00:43:55.400 --> 00:43:58.880
<v Speaker 2>Andy Pajez. As you mentioned, the catcher's interference was big.

869
00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:03.400
<v Speaker 2>It was big because the game was still tied. So

870
00:44:03.440 --> 00:44:05.920
<v Speaker 2>now you've got runners on fest first and second, one out,

871
00:44:06.119 --> 00:44:10.800
<v Speaker 2>and the lineup flips over to show hey Otani and

872
00:44:10.840 --> 00:44:14.360
<v Speaker 2>what happens He singles to right gives the Dodgers a lead,

873
00:44:14.440 --> 00:44:16.360
<v Speaker 2>Mookie Betts tax on two more and all of a

874
00:44:16.400 --> 00:44:19.000
<v Speaker 2>sudden it's a five to two Dodgers lead.

875
00:44:19.079 --> 00:44:19.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

876
00:44:19.320 --> 00:44:25.039
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, one little thing happening, yes, is big, But you

877
00:44:25.119 --> 00:44:27.239
<v Speaker 2>have to look at the entire inning and how it

878
00:44:27.360 --> 00:44:31.199
<v Speaker 2>unfolded for the Dodgers, and how it unraveled for the

879
00:44:31.239 --> 00:44:34.440
<v Speaker 2>San Diego Padres. Just an epic night for the Dodgers,

880
00:44:34.519 --> 00:44:37.039
<v Speaker 2>and really again, something to celebrate. I know some of

881
00:44:37.039 --> 00:44:39.360
<v Speaker 2>you Dodger fans want to say I always care about

882
00:44:39.360 --> 00:44:42.480
<v Speaker 2>World Series. I always care about what happens in October.

883
00:44:42.840 --> 00:44:45.039
<v Speaker 2>To wake me up when they get there, and we

884
00:44:45.079 --> 00:44:47.679
<v Speaker 2>could talk about a divisional series and getting past the

885
00:44:47.719 --> 00:44:50.440
<v Speaker 2>Padres or the diamondbacksers. We haven't done that other last

886
00:44:50.480 --> 00:44:54.960
<v Speaker 2>few years. You know what, for five minutes, celebrate another

887
00:44:55.039 --> 00:44:59.000
<v Speaker 2>divisional championship. Get that negativity out of your mind at

888
00:44:59.079 --> 00:45:01.800
<v Speaker 2>least for a few minutes, please, Dodger fans, and celebrate

889
00:45:02.199 --> 00:45:04.320
<v Speaker 2>over the one hundred and fifty nine games so far,

890
00:45:04.360 --> 00:45:08.199
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers win a divisional title, all the ups and downs,

891
00:45:08.400 --> 00:45:11.719
<v Speaker 2>all the injuries, all the pitchers, all the bullpen arms

892

893
00:45:15.719 --> 00:45:19.559
<v Speaker 2>and injuries. They've had to win the division and to

<v Speaker 2>do it like they did tonight, celebrate it, get ready

895
00:45:22.760 --> 00:45:25.039

896
00:45:25.119 --> 00:45:28.199
<v Speaker 2>spot in the National League, and let's get ready for October.

897
00:45:28.239 --> 00:45:30.119
<v Speaker 2>That's gonna do it. For Dodger Talk tonight, many thanks

898
00:45:30.159 --> 00:45:34.840

899
00:45:34.880 --> 00:45:41.559
<v Speaker 2>the Dodger season, all right, every game spring training, one

900
00:45:41.599 --> 00:45:45.320
<v Speaker 2>hundred and sixty two. He doesn't get a game off.

901
00:45:45.719 --> 00:45:50.960
<v Speaker 2>He's tried, but he can't. And now we all together

902
00:45:51.000 --> 00:45:54.079
<v Speaker 2>get ready for Colorado in three games against the Rockies.

903
00:45:54.559 --> 00:45:58.119

904
00:45:58.159 --> 00:46:01.519
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow morning. But for right now, TBA who will get

905
00:46:01.519 --> 00:46:04.000
<v Speaker 2>to start in the series opener? Yoshinoba Yama Mooda will

906
00:46:04.000 --> 00:46:06.360
<v Speaker 2>start on Saturday, and then I'm sure Sunday will be

907
00:46:06.400 --> 00:46:08.719
<v Speaker 2>the fastest game in the history of baseball as the

908
00:46:08.760 --> 00:46:11.079
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers look to get back to LA and get a

909
00:46:11.119 --> 00:46:12.800
<v Speaker 2>couple of days off and get some rest to watch

910
00:46:12.840 --> 00:46:15.760
<v Speaker 2>the Wildcard Round, get some workouts in, and get ready

911
00:46:16.239 --> 00:46:19.079
<v Speaker 2>for the start of a postseason run. Remember, eleven wins

912
00:46:19.760 --> 00:46:22.159
<v Speaker 2>and you win a championship. That's what happens when the

913
00:46:22.199 --> 00:46:26.280
<v Speaker 2>tournament starts next Saturday for the Dodgers. Thanks to the

914
00:46:26.280 --> 00:46:28.960

915
00:46:29.000 --> 00:46:31.800

916
00:46:31.840 --> 00:46:33.360
<v Speaker 2>runs into seven, two more in the eighth. Then they

00:46:33.360 --> 00:46:36.159
