Speaker 3: to Nelly. In the final hour of the show, We're
Speaker 3: gonna go a little Major League Baseball whip around. In
Speaker 3: the second hour of the show, gets Steve's thoughts on
Speaker 3: the other series that are happening around baseball in this postseason.
Speaker 3: A wild game last night between the Royals and the Yankees,
Speaker 3: as the Royals have tied that series up at a
Speaker 3: game of piece. Well here from Walker Bueller, the Game
Speaker 3: three starter tonight for the Dodgers. This is a huge
Speaker 3: one for Walker Bueller. Later on this hour, we're gonna
Speaker 3: get into this rivalry. Isn't really a rivalry between the
Speaker 3: Dodgers and the Padres, so we'll get into that. But
Speaker 3: Saxy Game two, the dramatics. We saw what happened between
Speaker 3: Manny Machado and Jack Flaherty, and then of course what
Speaker 3: happened in this seventh inning on the field with the
Speaker 3: fans and the Padres outfielders. But we find out now
Speaker 3: twenty four hours later, there's a little bit more fuel
Speaker 3: to this fire. And here is manager Dave Roberts yesterday
Speaker 3: talking to the media and our own David Vassa with
Speaker 3: a very interesting.
Speaker 4: Question, Dave, last night, did the ball that Machado threw
Speaker 4: into your dugout almost hit you? And did you feel
Speaker 4: like that should have been an ejection because Trip Gibson
Speaker 4: went over there right away to try to intervene, but
Speaker 4: that seemed to be what sparked the giant between Flaherty
Speaker 4: and Machado. Did it almost hit you, well? Did you
Speaker 4: know that?
Speaker 5: I didn't know. I didn't notice it at the time.
Speaker 5: I really didn't. I didn't notice it. I did see
Speaker 5: the video and it was it was unsettling. Obviously, I
Speaker 5: have a relationship with Manny from from years past. There
Speaker 5: was intent behind it. It didn't almost hit me because
Speaker 5: there was a net and that was very bothersome. It's
Speaker 5: it's uh, if it was intended at me, i'd be
Speaker 5: very it's it's it's it's pretty disrespectful. So I don't
Speaker 5: know his intent. I want to speak for him, but
Speaker 5: I did see the video and the ball was directed
Speaker 5: at me with something behind it, So but I don't
Speaker 5: know what led to that. I didn't see it in
Speaker 5: real time, but I did see the video.
Speaker 4: Did you feel after seeing the video he should have
Speaker 4: been ejected for that?
Speaker 5: I don't think they should have had a little arm
Speaker 5: around each other conversation. If players can throw balls at
Speaker 5: opposing managers.
Speaker 4: You said that you felt the ball was directed at
Speaker 4: you after I saw the video. Did you have any
Speaker 4: dialogue with Manny before that?
Speaker 5: The only dialogue I had was he was chirping at
Speaker 5: Jack and I looked at him and shook my head
Speaker 5: and making a point that we wouldn't hit him on
Speaker 5: purpose to lead off an inning in a being down
Speaker 5: two runs. And again the point being is, I think
Speaker 5: he's using a fuel. As a baseball person, anyone understands
Speaker 5: that you don't do that intentionally, put the leadoff man
Speaker 5: on base with three, four or five coming up behind.
Speaker 3: It just makes no sense, all right, Steve, he called
Speaker 3: it unsettling, He called it disrespectful. Manny Machado throwing a
Speaker 3: baseball towards the Dodgers dugout. When you hear that, is
Speaker 3: this bad? Well there's no need for it, that's for sure.
Speaker 3: And you know, it would have been maybe a different
Speaker 3: story if Dave sawt in real time.
Speaker 2: Who knows what would have happened. But you know, if
Speaker 2: Dave Roberts says it, it's real because he's not a
Speaker 2: guy that's gonna start trash or anything like that. He's
Speaker 2: not that kind of man. And so seeing it, you
Speaker 2: know in video, he felt that there was some intent
Speaker 2: behind it, and I believe it.
Speaker 3: There was a throw down in a second after you
Speaker 3: Darvish got warm done warming up and the ball skipped
Speaker 3: on the dirt, and so when it was thrown around
Speaker 3: the infield, Manny mitchatdo got in a third and threw
Speaker 3: it towards the dugout. And Manny said he threw it
Speaker 3: towards the dugout because he was getting it out of
Speaker 3: play because a new baseball had been inserted to you, darbish,
Speaker 3: to start the inning there in the bottom half of
Speaker 3: the sixth. So he just threw the ball, as he said,
Speaker 3: towards the Dodgers dugout to get it out of play,
Speaker 3: towards a ball boy. But he threw it pretty hard,
Speaker 3: and he did throw it towards the direction of Dave Roberts.
Speaker 3: And there's a netty now in front of the dugouts
Speaker 3: at Dodgers Stadium. Is it one of these unwritten rules
Speaker 3: of baseball, because I'm confused, there's a lot of unwritten
Speaker 3: rules in baseball about throwing a baseball towards a dugout
Speaker 3: like that. Because the video that we do see now,
Speaker 3: Teoscar Hernandez kind of perks up and yells out at Manny.
Speaker 3: Machado didn't like it. Bob Garrett, I think, was sitting
Speaker 3: right next to Dave Roberts. There was a couple of
Speaker 3: Dodgers that took umbrage to the fact that Manny threw
Speaker 3: that ball over there.
Speaker 2: At the time he did, and especially with the tenor
Speaker 2: between the two teams, you could have just you know,
Speaker 2: rolled it over there. You could have done it a lot,
Speaker 2: a lot simpler. But there was some slight intent there between,
Speaker 2: you know, between you know, Dave and him, and I
Speaker 2: believe I believe he was trying to send him a
Speaker 2: message like, you know, you're not going to intimidate us.
Speaker 2: I know we're in your house, but here you go,
Speaker 2: and you know it's not good. But I didn't see
Speaker 2: it in real time either, But I think what Dave's
Speaker 2: saying is factual.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it kind of feels like both teams right now
Speaker 3: Saxy are trying to find some fuel, trying to find
Speaker 3: something to maybe motivate their teams. I don't need I
Speaker 3: don't know why you need motivation at this point in
Speaker 3: the postseas, especially with this series the way it is
Speaker 3: and the way these two teams have battled in three
Speaker 3: of the last five years. But maybe Dave Roberts is
Speaker 3: using this, maybe it's something, but he's making it more
Speaker 3: of an issue to fire up his guys because the
Speaker 3: Padres are such a fiery team.
Speaker 2: They are, and he's probably just looking for a little edge.
Speaker 2: And and this is this is reminiscent of what happened
Speaker 2: with us in eighty eight when Tommy Lasorda posted that
Speaker 2: note down in the locker room. Actually a couple times,
Speaker 2: once once with David David Cone who was chirping about
Speaker 2: our club, and we use that against him. And then
Speaker 2: Bob Costas in the news again today saying that this
Speaker 2: is the worst looking team, This is a this is
Speaker 2: the least talented major league team I've ever seen. And
Speaker 2: then we went out and Beata's and Tommy used that
Speaker 2: as fuel as well. So it's not you know, this
Speaker 2: is this is not some revelation, but it's good to
Speaker 2: use some of those things to kind of get to
Speaker 2: a little bit of edge for your ball club.
Speaker 3: I look at this as more and more we talk
Speaker 3: about in SAXE. I think this is what Dave Roberts
Speaker 3: is trying to maybe hang his hat on to rally
Speaker 3: his team because they've got nothing else outside of hey,
Speaker 3: we got to win this series to move on. He
Speaker 3: needs something to fire up this team. Maybe it's an
Speaker 3: individual thing to Mookie to jumpstart him offensively. Maybe it's
Speaker 3: something to give a little bit more juice to Freddie
Speaker 3: Freeman to come back and play tonight in Game three.
Speaker 3: Maybe it's whatever to motivate these guys individually and collectively.
Speaker 3: But yeah, it kind of feels like one of those
Speaker 3: things Dave Roberts is trying to rally this team around
Speaker 3: and get him fired up.
Speaker 2: I look at it as I look at it as
Speaker 2: not necessarily a motivation thing, because I don't think anybody
Speaker 2: needs motivation. I mean, this is this is for everything
Speaker 2: right now, right, and I don't think they you're gonna
Speaker 2: need somebody to motivate you. But I think it's it's
Speaker 2: a slight edge against the other team to get in
Speaker 2: their head. Maybe not necessarily to motivate my guys, but
Speaker 2: to you know, put a little bit of thought in
Speaker 2: the head of the other guys. I think that's what
Speaker 2: he's using it for, and it's a very smart move.
Speaker 3: I don't know if I agree, because that team across
Speaker 3: there in San Diego, they don't need anything else. They
Speaker 3: don't need motivation, They don't need Dave Roberts saying that
Speaker 3: to get them fired up. I think he's directing this
Speaker 3: more towards his team because they need something to rally around.
Speaker 3: They need a common ground to stand on going into
Speaker 3: San Diego, in particular. Now this series is shifting to
Speaker 3: San Diego. If what happened on Sunday night in Game
Speaker 3: two and the incident the fans and the chirping back
Speaker 3: and forth wasn't enough, this hopefully maybe cranks it up
Speaker 3: a little bit and now they can have this hole.
Speaker 3: Let's circle the wagons. We're going into Petco Park. You
Speaker 3: know what they tried to do to our manager. You
Speaker 3: saw what they did through that ball of Dave Roberts.
Speaker 3: How damn Manny Machado, What are they doing? We gotta
Speaker 3: go into the pet cole Park and we gotta rally together.
Speaker 3: We gotta play as the team, and we gotta go
Speaker 3: in there like this is a battle between us and
Speaker 3: them and only one teams coming out of this.
Speaker 2: I'm excited. Let's go Tim. Yeah, no, it's uh, it's
Speaker 2: it can work that way for sure. But I also
Speaker 2: think my point was that if you give them another
Speaker 2: thing to think about the opposition, then it maybe it
Speaker 2: takes away from what they're doing. You know, how good
Speaker 2: they've been with us. I don't think they need motivation
Speaker 2: at all. They kind of thrive on this stuff. But
Speaker 2: if you give them something else to think about, that
Speaker 2: might be, that might be a good distraction for you know,
Speaker 2: for the Dodgers. But you know what, it's gonna come down. Team.
Speaker 2: We're gonna talk about this later on. As far as
Speaker 2: points of the game. We all know what they are
Speaker 2: and we'll we'll drill down on those later. But but
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what it's gonna have to you know,
Speaker 2: when this team is loaded with stars, they're gonna have
Speaker 2: to shine, just like O'tani did in Game one, you know.
Speaker 2: And I think we're gonna we're gonna see that this
Speaker 2: is gonna be. This is gonna be the best baseball
Speaker 2: in the United States of America right now, This Dodger
Speaker 2: Padre rivalry is being talked about everywhere on these coast.
Speaker 2: I got friends back East that are talking about this stuff.
Speaker 2: We can't wait to watch that game at six o
Speaker 2: eight pm Pacific. We're on pins and needles. We can't
Speaker 2: wait to see it. And they got the Yankees and
Speaker 2: Mets playing back there.
Speaker 3: Exactly when the MLB Network, based in New York is
Speaker 3: starting there all their broadcasts with Padre's Dodgers. You know
Speaker 3: something is right with this series because the other series
Speaker 3: are good and we'll get into them, and there's a
Speaker 3: lot of exciting teams and young players that we could
Speaker 3: be focusing on in Major League Baseball in this postseason.
Speaker 3: But you mentioned eighty eight and the David Cohne comments
Speaker 3: and the Bob Costas comments that got posted up as
Speaker 3: bulletin of war and material. Did it work? Was it
Speaker 3: a little extra fuel at that time for you guys
Speaker 3: or was it an eye roll from that eighty eight
Speaker 3: Dodgers team in that clubhouse?
Speaker 2: I think it worked. I mean it was something to
Speaker 2: get get you a little bit on edge and a
Speaker 2: little little more spice in your in your shoes. I
Speaker 2: think I think it. I think it worked, and it
Speaker 2: gave us something to kind of, uh to put your
Speaker 2: energy towards, because you know, there's so much energy going on,
Speaker 2: especially right before the game start, and this was a
Speaker 2: place to kind of like burn off some of that
Speaker 2: excess fuel, I guess you could say. And it worked
Speaker 2: for us. It certainly did, because you know, beating the
Speaker 2: the Mighty Mets in seven, where they just absolutely trounced
Speaker 2: us during the season. Was was a feat in and
Speaker 2: of itself, but then to go ahead and beat the
Speaker 2: A's after that was it was a pretty great thing.
Speaker 2: And that you know that team was we were not
Speaker 2: the talent was talented team. I'll tell you one thing though,
Speaker 2: We had great pitching and that's where it is. That's
Speaker 2: where the game is one of the lost as we
Speaker 2: all know.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you what the other motivation for Dave
Speaker 3: Roberts is in by bringing up Manny Machado, throwing the
Speaker 3: ball at him and calling it as he did, unsettling
Speaker 3: and disrespectful. This, Steve Sachs, is what you call a
Speaker 3: Phil Jackson move. Phil Jackson was the king and Tommy
Speaker 3: Lestorda as well the king of Hey, look over here
Speaker 3: at me. Let's all distract and look at me. I'm
Speaker 3: gonna make me the center of attention to take the
Speaker 3: pressure off of my guys, to take the attention away
Speaker 3: from Mookie Betts being over twenty two, Freddie Freeman hurt
Speaker 3: the need for starting pitching in Walker Buehler to be
Speaker 3: Walker Buehler five years ago. All that needs to happen,
Speaker 3: but I'm gonna take that focus away from them and
Speaker 3: the pressure off of them. And I'm gonna make it
Speaker 3: about me, So talk about me. Make this an incident, me, me, me,
Speaker 3: so my guys don't have to worry about talking to
Speaker 3: the media. Yeah, this is Phil Jackson to a t, right.
Speaker 2: And because we all know Dave Roberts, he doesn't want
Speaker 2: anything to do to do with the stuff other than
Speaker 2: what's going on in the field and playing the game. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's what that's what he's central about. But so it's
Speaker 2: a good move by Dave. I think it works in
Speaker 2: a lot of different subtle ways. And we're gonna see
Speaker 2: if it's going to pay dividends tonight. It's gonna be
Speaker 2: a great event.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a great game three tonight. Right here
Speaker 3: on an five seventy LA Sports first pitch at six
Speaker 3: oh eight, Michael King, Walker Buehler, the pitching matchup. I'll
Speaker 3: have Morongo Casino Dodgers on deck at five o'clock PM.
Speaker 3: Right here on an five seventy eight, six, six, nine
Speaker 3: eighty seven, two five to seventy is our phone number.
Speaker 3: Your thoughts on Dave Roberts and this incident with Manny Machado,
Speaker 3: Is it Dave Roberts firing up the troops. Is it
Speaker 3: Dave Roberts playing mind games with the San Diego Padres?
Speaker 3: Or is this a big deal going into Game three?
Speaker 3: Manny Machado trying to throw baseball at the Dodger manager
Speaker 3: eight six six nine eighty seven two five seventy. Coming
Speaker 3: up in our final hour, David Vez, who you heard
Speaker 3: ask the question at the media availability yesterday, will join us.
Speaker 3: Steven Nelson, one of the voices of the Dodgers right
Speaker 3: here during the NLDS on ANFI seventy, will join us
Speaker 3: in the final hour as well. We'll hear from Walker Bueler.
Speaker 3: You heard from Dave Roberts. We want to hear from
Speaker 3: you at eight six six nine eighty seven two five seventy.
Speaker 3: And is this series now a r ivalry Dodgers Giants? Yeah,
Speaker 3: Dodgers Padres. I think we've officially got there. We'll get
Speaker 3: to it next he is Steve Sacks. I am Tim Kats.
Speaker 3: We want you to be a part of the show
Speaker 3: at eight six six nine eighty seven two five seventy eight.
Speaker 3: Scam right, you're on NFI seventy. La Sports Saxon Kates
Speaker 3: in the am on this Tuesday Morning on m five
Speaker 3: seventy LA Sports leading up to Game three of the NLDS,
Speaker 3: Walker Buehler on the mount tonight, searching all regular season.
Speaker 3: Maybe he found it in his final couple of starts
Speaker 3: going into the postseason. Dodger's certainly gonna need a vintage
Speaker 3: Walker Buehler from twenty eighteen, nineteen twenty to be on
Speaker 3: the mountain tonight in Game three to night Tim Kate,
Speaker 3: Steve Saxon You on this Tuesday morning eight sixty six,
Speaker 3: nine eighty seven two five seventy You heard Dave Roberts
Speaker 3: comments to the media yesterday Manny Machado throwing a baseball
Speaker 3: at him in between the innings and the sixth inning
Speaker 3: on Sunday night. That's why Jack Flarity and Manny Machado
Speaker 3: really got chirping from the dugout in third base, and
Speaker 3: Dave Roberts said it was unsettling and disrespectful for Manny
Speaker 3: Machado to throw a ball towards him in the dugout
Speaker 3: on Sunday nights. Could lead to something tonight, could lead
Speaker 3: to nothing. We'll find out in the game tonight in
Speaker 3: San Diego. But Saxy, this Dodgers Padres series is certainly
Speaker 3: fueled by a lot of things on and off the field,
Speaker 3: But this is a rivalry. Maybe, are we getting to
Speaker 3: the point now, Saxy, where the Dodgers and Padres have
Speaker 3: elevated their games and they're head to head series now
Speaker 3: where this is a legitimate rivalry between the two.
Speaker 2: Heck, yeah, this is a big rivalry. And look at
Speaker 2: this isn't something that's just been creeping up on us.
Speaker 2: This thing's been a rivalry for a long time, no
Speaker 2: question about it. We always he's looked at the Padres
Speaker 2: as a rivalry really as much as San Francisco. Yeah,
Speaker 2: because they were always really tough to beat, especially down
Speaker 2: in San Diego. They were very tough to beat. I remember,
Speaker 2: didn't matter their teams, even when the Padres weren't that good,
Speaker 2: remember where they were just like Stepchild and the you know,
Speaker 2: it was a lot of years in the West and
Speaker 2: they were just getting beat downs all the time. But
Speaker 2: every time we went down there, there was you know,
Speaker 2: one of their pictures was up hitting a home run
Speaker 2: in the eighth inning and it was like, oh, ye,
Speaker 2: are you kidding me? The most unlikely of people would
Speaker 2: step to the forefront and just put a big thorn
Speaker 2: on our side, and it was it was all And
Speaker 2: of course they had Tony Gwenn. So every time it
Speaker 2: seemed that we were playing the Padres, it was always
Speaker 2: a packed house down there. Uh it was a you know,
Speaker 2: it was a one run game there was the bases
Speaker 2: were loaded and that guy was coming up with one out.
Speaker 2: You figure you have a meeting at the mound, and
Speaker 2: it was like, Okay, we know he's gonna hit it hard,
Speaker 2: just hopefully it's at somebody. So we would just try
Speaker 2: to position them, you know, as the picture was going
Speaker 2: to pitch against him because you couldn't really defend that guy.
Speaker 2: But it was always a rivalry with San Diego.
Speaker 3: I kind of feel like it's recency by this because
Speaker 3: these two teams in the last four to five years
Speaker 3: have been really good atop the division and the other
Speaker 3: teams just haven't. And the Giants have fallen off and
Speaker 3: have been trying to figure it out and rebuild. And
Speaker 3: now they're going in a different direction after far Hans
Speaker 3: Aidies era is over and they're bringing Buster Posey in
Speaker 3: to run baseball operations. Arizona's kind of been up and down.
Speaker 3: Don't even make the Playoffs this year, but they go
Speaker 3: to the World Series last year. Colorado's just kind of
Speaker 3: been fledgling there as a team that everybody picks on
Speaker 3: in the NL West. But Dodgers Padres since twenty twenty.
Speaker 3: Of course, they met in the bubble in the postseason,
Speaker 3: had a great series there. Things got chippy with Manny
Speaker 3: Machado and Bruce dargraderol going back and forth yelling at
Speaker 3: each other from opposing Dougouts. They met again in twenty
Speaker 3: twenty two, and of course we know the Padres beat
Speaker 3: them in the NLDS and that was the first time
Speaker 3: they kind of got over that hump of beating the Dodgers.
Speaker 3: And now this year with the rivalry starting in South
Speaker 3: Korea to start the season, and you know, the Padres
Speaker 3: winning the season series, taking eight of the thirteen games,
Speaker 3: and now a split here in the first three. I think, yeah,
Speaker 3: the last five or six years, this certainly is a rivalry,
Speaker 3: But in the eyes of baseball, you're a Dodger throw
Speaker 3: and through for decades here saxy is it will every
Speaker 3: get to that Giants Dodgers' rivalry cannon or is there
Speaker 3: just too much history with the Dodgers and Giants coming
Speaker 3: to get coming to the West Coast in nineteen fifty
Speaker 3: eight together from New York.
Speaker 2: Well, there's a lot of history there, of course, with
Speaker 2: the incident with Johnny Roseborough and all that, you know,
Speaker 2: hit and hitting the catcher, you know, So there's so
Speaker 2: much history with the Giants. But this Padre rivalry, I feel,
Speaker 2: is even more intense. It's newer, of course, but it's
Speaker 2: it's a little more intense because I don't know, maybe
Speaker 2: it's maybe it's proximity. You know, they're so close to us.
Speaker 2: They're not far from Los Angeles, right down the road
Speaker 2: there and there. It almost seems like every time the
Speaker 2: Dodgers and Padres hook it up, it's the Padres got
Speaker 2: nothing to lose, right because the Dodgers are the big
Speaker 2: guys on the block and they're supposed to beat the Padres.
Speaker 2: But the Padres, everybody knows in baseball, the baseball officionados
Speaker 2: know that this team is stacked. I mean all the
Speaker 2: way through they're pitching, their bullpen is locked down. They've
Speaker 2: got lots of guys that can come up and beat you,
Speaker 2: and they've got some stars on the team. So they've
Speaker 2: got nothing to lose and it's a great position to
Speaker 2: be in if you're San Diego. But I think the
Speaker 2: cream rises to the top, and that's what we're going
Speaker 2: to see tonight.
Speaker 3: I think a rivalry the fans seem to kind of
Speaker 3: always determine that could be based on history of these
Speaker 3: two teams facing each other, certainly the Dodgers and Giants,
Speaker 3: but you mentioned it, there's bad blood with the players
Speaker 3: and the Dodgers and Padres. I think that has elevated
Speaker 3: this rivalry to the point where it's at maybe more quickly.
Speaker 3: Doesn't necessarily have the history like the Dodgers and Giants,
Speaker 3: but maybe the bad blood and the actual back and
Speaker 3: forth between these two teams, it's real. I mean, but
Speaker 3: was it always the case with the Dodgers and Giants
Speaker 3: as well? When you were playing for the Dodgers, did
Speaker 3: you hate the Giants that much?
Speaker 2: Well, you got to realize that I grew up loving
Speaker 2: the Giants and hating the Dodgers because I grew up
Speaker 2: here in Sacramento.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 2: But you know, once you get over to the organization,
Speaker 2: things changed extremely quick, very quickly. Yeah, And you know
Speaker 2: I didn't necessarily hate the Giants. I liked playing against
Speaker 2: them because they were our nemesis. But it was funny
Speaker 2: because my family would all come to the games in
Speaker 2: San Francisco. Of course there'd be lots of relatives and
Speaker 2: what are they renting buses and go and come to
Speaker 2: watch me play. And that's why I always stunk up
Speaker 2: the joint when I was trying to press my family.
Speaker 2: And then, you know, in a in a pitching break,
Speaker 2: replacing the pitcher, and maybe they had somebody on second base.
Speaker 2: You know, the guys usually go over and you know,
Speaker 2: talk a bit. And I walked over. I think Robbie
Speaker 2: Thompson was on second base, and and my family after
Speaker 2: the game, says man, when they were taking the picture
Speaker 2: out bringing the relief picture, you walked over to the
Speaker 2: second base. What were you saying to Thompson? Were you
Speaker 2: guys gonna fight? But I mean, were you guys going
Speaker 2: back and forth? Yeah? And I said no, we were
Speaker 2: actually making dinner plans for tonight after the game.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, whatever it was.
Speaker 2: And so it's more probably on the field than it
Speaker 2: is I mean, more proud, I would say in the
Speaker 2: stands sure, than it is on the field. I would think.
Speaker 3: Maybe that's why this rivalry right now, this one.
Speaker 2: Here is real with San Diego, there's no doubt.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because the players are so involved in now, Dave
Speaker 3: Roberts calling it unsettling and disrespectful, and maybe the Padres
Speaker 3: in their eyes, and certainly the fans in their eyes,
Speaker 3: have always wanted to have a rivalry with the Dodgers,
Speaker 3: and the Diamondbacks have tried that. I mean, Derek Hall
Speaker 3: was the PR director for the Dodgers now as the
Speaker 3: president of the Arizona Diamondbacks, and he's tried to make
Speaker 3: it a rivalry over there and certainly got a lot
Speaker 3: of transplants over in Phoenix. And you you were first
Speaker 3: base coach well the Diamondbacks, so you know the fact
Speaker 3: that they've been they've been trying to make this.
Speaker 2: A rivalry for years. Yeah, And look, when you're in
Speaker 2: a position, let this be known. When you're in a
Speaker 2: position like the Dodgers, with the rich tradition of winning
Speaker 2: and the World Series and all the great I mean,
Speaker 2: I get around Sandy Kofax and I almost want to Genuflex.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's just like, he's just like such an
Speaker 2: honorable man. And and the Dodgers have people like this
Speaker 2: throughout their you know, their storied franchise, and so everybody
Speaker 2: wants to beat the Dodgers. Man, everybody hates the Dodgers
Speaker 2: if you're not loving them. So it's either one or
Speaker 2: the other. But I can tell you up here, and
Speaker 2: I live in northern California, up here near Sacramento, there's
Speaker 2: there's La Dodger hats and fans everywhere up here. I
Speaker 2: mean it's a lot more than you think. There's lots
Speaker 2: of Dodger fans up here in the north and and
Speaker 2: that's the way it is throughout the country. I go,
Speaker 2: you know, I travel and whatnot. I'm in Florida or
Speaker 2: I'm in New York, I see La Dodger hats all
Speaker 2: the time. I mean, that's that's the the goodwill and
Speaker 2: the tradition that the Dodgers have built over so many years,
Speaker 2: starting back in Brooklyn, of course, And so that that's
Speaker 2: the way it is. Everybody. You either really love him
Speaker 2: or you want to beat him down. And that's that's
Speaker 2: the only way you can look at it. With the
Speaker 2: with the Eli Dodgers.
Speaker 3: I was talking with David Vesse, our Dodger insider who
Speaker 3: will join us in the final hour of the show,
Speaker 3: and he mentioned this a couple of days ago. He says,
Speaker 3: this Dodgers Padres rivalry feels a lot like the Lakers
Speaker 3: Sacramento Kings in the early two thousands ago, and very
Speaker 3: much chill well in that it was great at the
Speaker 3: moment for those few years, and it was heated because
Speaker 3: he had the whole Doug Christie, Rick Fox, the cow
Speaker 3: bell Yeah, absolutely, and they hated La, and LA started
Speaker 3: to hate you know, Sacramento and Chris Webber and everybody
Speaker 3: up in Sacramento. And then they even got tired of
Speaker 3: the cow bells down here. And it was intense for
Speaker 3: about a four or five year run. And now it's
Speaker 3: now it's not. Yeah, and maybe this falls into that category.
Speaker 3: Is that for a good stretch here, we're gonna have
Speaker 3: a Dodger's Padres rivalry because of the players making it
Speaker 3: a rivalry. When Manny Machado retires and he's gone and
Speaker 3: there's no more Jerks and Profar and Fernando Tatist Junior
Speaker 3: is gone from the game in ten to fifteen years,
Speaker 3: maybe this rivalry doesn't continue. But I think for this
Speaker 3: stretch of time, certainly it is equal to a lot
Speaker 3: of those rivals. Tommy edmund who came over in a
Speaker 3: trade from the Saint Louis Cardinals to the Dodgers, was
Speaker 3: asked about this yesterday and he said, yeah, I've been
Speaker 3: a part of the Cardinals and Cubs rivalry for his
Speaker 3: entire professional career. And he said both team's stunk during
Speaker 3: his time there. But now he's here and he says, yeah,
Speaker 3: this is He said, this is pretty intense.
Speaker 2: There's no there's no question when you're and I think
Speaker 2: the like I said, the geography, uh has has a
Speaker 2: lot to do with it. That's never going to change.
Speaker 2: And you know, like you said, Cubs and Cardinals, you
Speaker 2: know a big deal, right, That's that's a rivalry. I
Speaker 2: mean it is though, and certainly the Red Sox and
Speaker 2: Yankees are a huge rivalry, no doubt. And I think
Speaker 2: the Dodgers and Giants always will be just because of
Speaker 2: their history. But this thing about San Diego, I don't
Speaker 2: think it's going away even and I don't think the
Speaker 2: Padres are going to be a team that's not going
Speaker 2: to be interested in trying to put a great product
Speaker 2: on the field. They got that great stadium now, and
Speaker 2: we have to give it to him. That stadium is awesome.
Speaker 2: That is a great ballpark in Petco. It's not Dodger Stadium,
Speaker 2: but it's a great one. Yeah, And they're always going
Speaker 2: to try to satiate the fans by putting a good
Speaker 2: product on the field. And they've got the people in
Speaker 2: the organization that will spend the money to try to
Speaker 2: get them there. And so I don't think we're going
Speaker 2: to see this seeing kind of fizzle off. This rivalry
Speaker 2: has been too deep and it's been I think too long.
Speaker 2: I think it's going to be around for quite a while.
Speaker 3: Well, a lot of that credit has to go to
Speaker 3: Peter Seidler, who passed away the owner of the San
Speaker 3: Diego Padres, and I believe is the grandson of Walter O'Malley.
Speaker 3: I need to double check that, but what he built
Speaker 3: down there and wanting to be competitive, and as you mentioned,
Speaker 3: be competitive means spending money now in the twentieth twenty
Speaker 3: first century, because you got to go out and you
Speaker 3: got to give Manny Machado the money he wants, You
Speaker 3: got to re sign for Nando Tuttis Junior. You got
Speaker 3: to be willing to go up and break up a
Speaker 3: team that they put together and win. They're the Kings
Speaker 3: of winning the offseas in San Diego. That's what they
Speaker 3: always joked about, is they don't have any championship trophies,
Speaker 3: but they got off season championship trophies because they always
Speaker 3: win the off season with great signings and trades. And
Speaker 3: it never panned out, the Wan Soto thing, it just
Speaker 3: didn't work out. So they they flipped the page and
Speaker 3: they rebuild and they're not worried about money, and they've
Speaker 3: done a great job of putting a good product on
Speaker 3: the field.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they have. And you know what's gonna be face
Speaker 2: a team this is gonna be faced with that, and
Speaker 2: maybe not immediately, but the Oaklandes are moving here to
Speaker 2: Sacramento for at least three years, and you know they've
Speaker 2: got a bad The product isn't great on the field,
Speaker 2: but you know, pretty soon once you get a new
Speaker 2: stadium built, whether it's either going to be here in
Speaker 2: Sacramento or in Las Vegas, they're gonna have to start
Speaker 2: putting a product on the field. And John Fisher, the
Speaker 2: owner the of the oaklan Ades, is gonna have to
Speaker 2: spend some of that Denaro or maybe trade to you know,
Speaker 2: sell the team. Who's gonna you know, we don't know yet.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just to make sure. Yeah, he is the son
Speaker 3: Peter Siler, who passed away, uh last year, the chairman
Speaker 3: of the San Diego Padres for a long time owner.
Speaker 3: Was the grandson of Walter O'Malley and the nephew of
Speaker 3: Peter O'Malley. Yeah, Peter O'Malley's sister is Peter Siler's mom.
Speaker 3: So there's the connection. He is the grandson of Walter O'Malley,
Speaker 3: of course, the late great owner of the Brooklyn Dodgers,
Speaker 3: and they moved him out here, of course to La
Speaker 3: to become the La Dodgers. So there's the tie there.
Speaker 3: And Peter Siler doing his thing down in San Diego
Speaker 3: built it in to what it is today. And you know,
Speaker 3: literally they built a fence around Petcoll Park. We could
Speaker 3: joke about it, but yeah, keeping Dodger fans out of
Speaker 3: Petco Park?
Speaker 2: How about that?
Speaker 3: And not selling tickets to Dodger fans if they have
Speaker 3: a zip code on their billion address, it's not at
Speaker 3: San Diego or Riverside County. Call it petty. You know,
Speaker 3: I've had about nine thousand discussions with this with people
Speaker 3: and my family and friends about what do you think
Speaker 3: it's like, Well, I was pissed off a couple of
Speaker 3: years ago when they started this, but now it's I
Speaker 3: don't know why they need to keep doing. They got
Speaker 3: the fan base built up, they got a really good
Speaker 3: product in the field. You shouldn't be worried about Dodger
Speaker 3: fans coming.
Speaker 2: In there because your team's good, that's right. I mean,
Speaker 2: I don't think the Dodgers are keeping San Diego fans
Speaker 2: out right, No, I mean no, So, I mean I
Speaker 2: think it's I think it's detrimental. I think you got
Speaker 2: to let everybody in expand you know, the knowledge of
Speaker 2: your team. You would you want to have everybody see
Speaker 2: it from from all different all different sites. I think
Speaker 2: that's the best thing. But just to kind of lock
Speaker 2: down and say no, we're just gonna get the San
Speaker 2: Diego fans here, I don't know. I'm not a fan
Speaker 2: of that.
Speaker 3: No, not a fan at all. Eight six six nine
Speaker 3: eighty seven, two five seventy is the telephone number we
Speaker 3: want you to be a part of this show. Is
Speaker 3: this series now officially a rivalry? Players from both sides
Speaker 3: talking about a Michael King who gets the Game three
Speaker 3: start tonight for the San Diego Padres. He came up
Speaker 3: in the New York Yankees organization. He pinched in New
Speaker 3: York for the first couple of years before coming over
Speaker 3: in the Jan Soto trade, and he was asked about it,
Speaker 3: he said, absolutely this rank's are up there with the
Speaker 3: Yankees and Red Sox rivalry, which he was a part
Speaker 3: of for a brief amount of time, but he grew
Speaker 3: up rooting for those East Coast Yankees and said, without
Speaker 3: a doubt the rivalry and passion and being a part
Speaker 3: of the just this little NLDS that he's been a
Speaker 3: part of so far this year, he said, absolutely right,
Speaker 3: it ranks up there with the Yankees and Red Sox.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it does. There's there's no question. And people can
Speaker 2: feel it. That's the thing about it. It's more than
Speaker 2: what you see in the press. It's what you can feel.
Speaker 2: And you really can't put your finger on that until
Speaker 2: you're around the situation. People like you know, Tommy Edmund
Speaker 2: and different people that have come and seen that, they
Speaker 2: definitely know that this is a rivalry. And by the way,
Speaker 2: I just want to let you know, I just kind
Speaker 2: of saw that video of Machado throwing it for the
Speaker 2: first time. That was no question. Was it intent? Really? Oh,
Speaker 2: no doubt that.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 2: I hadn't seen it until just a second ago, you know,
Speaker 2: and I clicked it on and watched it. That was
Speaker 2: absolutely intent, There's no doubt about it. And he threw
Speaker 2: it pretty hard and many Mitcheld's got a good arm,
Speaker 2: and I'm surprised he threw it that was right at
Speaker 2: the dugout. Come on, really, I mean that, there's no question. Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm surprised nobody came out of the dugout. Well, that's
Speaker 2: why Jack Flaherty got so fired. No doubt, he's no question.
Speaker 2: And you watched the end of the video. Tay Oscar Hernandez,
Speaker 2: who's standing on the steps getting ready to bat that inning,
Speaker 2: makes a gesture towards Manny Machado, and I think it's
Speaker 2: Bob Garan to the left of Dave Roberts, peeks his
Speaker 2: head up and starts saying something towards the direction of
Speaker 2: where the ball came in. Manny Machado. I don't know.
Speaker 3: Maybe it is something in saxy. If you think it is,
Speaker 3: I mean it is, you played the game, you coach
Speaker 3: in the game. If that's something that's crossing the line.
Speaker 3: Then heck, let's go that is that is disrespectable. Like
Speaker 3: Dave Roberts said, maybe what.
Speaker 2: We need to do is we need to we need
Speaker 2: to see Machado and Flaherty or whoever just just go
Speaker 2: at it and then get it over with and then
Speaker 2: play baseball. I think what they should do instead of
Speaker 2: all the people that run on the field and all
Speaker 2: the chirping that's going on, just use the on deck
Speaker 2: circle as the meeting place and have the two combatants
Speaker 2: go to go to that place and let them get
Speaker 2: it on for like a minute. That doesn't last more
Speaker 2: than that, and then you know, didn't get it over with.
Speaker 2: It's like in hockey. I love it when the referees
Speaker 2: they just fold their arms and let the guys go
Speaker 2: at it. When they stop, they break it down and
Speaker 2: that's it, you know, and that's it. So you probably
Speaker 2: save a lot of injuries that way, actually.
Speaker 3: No doubt about it. And you know, we'll see who
Speaker 3: the real tough guys are and we'll see how long
Speaker 3: it lasts because fighting, you know, for thirty seconds, it's
Speaker 3: a pretty tiring thing to do out there one on one.
Speaker 3: But it's interesting, you think it is a big deal.
Speaker 6: Yeah, because I no doubt, Okay, because I kind of
Speaker 6: felt like Dave Roberts was maybe making this a big
Speaker 6: deal to motivate his team, and maybe I think he
Speaker 6: still is trying to keep this going and bringing a
Speaker 6: little fuel to the fire of his team and a
Speaker 6: little fire in the belly of his players going into
Speaker 6: Game three tonight.
Speaker 3: I'll be interested to see if Manny Machado and Dave
Speaker 3: Roberts address this before the game, if Machado reaches out
Speaker 3: to Dave Roberts in some fashion and wants to squash
Speaker 3: this before Game three tonight, maybe to stop any momentum
Speaker 3: of this Dodgers team going into Game three, to stop
Speaker 3: any kind of fire that is being started with the
Speaker 3: Dodgers that could get them going, and maybe light of
Speaker 3: fire here under Mookie Betts offensively, so I wouldn't be
Speaker 3: surprising the cat and mouse game here of this this
Speaker 3: quote unquote rivalry.
Speaker 2: As you just pointed out, I'm not so sure that
Speaker 2: Dave Roberts would meet with him and squash it. I
Speaker 2: think I think Dave could use it a little bit more. Yeah,
Speaker 2: let it kind of fester a little bit and let
Speaker 2: it get under the skin of the Dodgers even even
Speaker 2: that if it's just a little bit to kind of
Speaker 2: divert some of that nervous energy. But I think it's
Speaker 2: I think it could be something that Dodgers could use.
Speaker 2: Like I said, Tommy used it on two different occasions
Speaker 2: in the same series, once with David Combe and once
Speaker 2: with Bob Costas.
Speaker 3: Now in the twenty first century here, there's no more
Speaker 3: bulletin board material. I don't thinkink there's even bulletin boards
Speaker 3: inside of a Dodger clubhouse or baseball clubhouse. But maybe
Speaker 3: they can get the social media team to put the
Speaker 3: video and then text it to all the players with
Speaker 3: a little message from Dave Roberts like, hey, boys, did
Speaker 3: you see what they tried to do to me?
Speaker 2: Yeah? The question mark, don't you dare do that to
Speaker 2: our manager? I saw the other day. Who was it?
Speaker 2: I can't remember who it was, but it was very
Speaker 2: very new. They they had there at bat they and
Speaker 2: there was a timeout and somebody was like on the
Speaker 2: on deck circle with an iPad. Oh and he was
Speaker 2: he was scrolling through and looking at it and saying, okay, okay,
Speaker 2: that pitch was a little bit bending down and outside. Okay,
Speaker 2: shoulders kind of right there, and they was looking at
Speaker 2: it like almost in real time. Oh yeah, right in
Speaker 2: between pitches, are in a timeout, or before is a
Speaker 2: bat one of those things. I'm like, that's where it
Speaker 2: is now. I mean, my lord, this is getting to
Speaker 2: be techie saxy.
Speaker 3: You gotta watch a dugout during a team's home at
Speaker 3: bats or roaded bats. Everybody's on iPads. Everybody's on tablets
Speaker 3: looking to see what that picture's tendencies are. Go back
Speaker 3: and they look at their old at bats against them.
Speaker 3: It's all for them there on these tablets. The video
Speaker 3: crews are massive for Major League Baseball team look at
Speaker 3: the NFL. When you get a team gets off the field,
Speaker 3: they go to the sideline. They don't look just look
Speaker 3: at pictures anymore. Over and overhead they're on their iPads. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's all on tablets. They're all looking to see what
Speaker 3: they did right, what they did wrong. They got the
Speaker 3: all twenty two of you. For football, it's the same
Speaker 3: way for baseball. Pitching change. Oh, let's go over to
Speaker 3: the dugout. All three batting code over there got tablets
Speaker 3: and they're all gonna show us what this guy coming
Speaker 3: to the mound his tendencies are, how his armslot is,
Speaker 3: what pitches he throws, what he throws in this part
Speaker 3: of the count, when he gets ahead, when he falls behind.
Speaker 3: It's a whole thing.
Speaker 2: Now, well, before the game, it's it's very intense. I mean,
Speaker 2: there's a whole video cue that you can go in
Speaker 2: and look at everything going back years. You can type
Speaker 2: in certain situations, okay, guy in first, let me let
Speaker 2: me see if he's gonna side step or you know,
Speaker 2: quick step with a home plate. Well, does he show
Speaker 2: any tendencies when he's in the wind up and you
Speaker 2: can try to pick off pitches, you know, if he's
Speaker 2: if he's tipping those, uh, and just a lot of
Speaker 2: different situations you can point out. But even when I
Speaker 2: was playing, we could go in the back right behind
Speaker 2: the dugout and they had the video there and you
Speaker 2: could see the video. But now it's just hyper speed
Speaker 2: forward with all these iPads and you can just get
Speaker 2: it instantly in the dugout. I mean, it's it's so
Speaker 2: much better nowadays. But I don't know how many guys
Speaker 2: really want to get so much involved in the video
Speaker 2: because that can put a lot of stuff in your
Speaker 2: head too. I didn't like too much of the video.
Speaker 2: I didn't want if somebody could steal a sign, I
Speaker 2: didn't want the signs. I didn't want any of that stuff.
Speaker 2: I just kind of wanted it to be more natural.
Speaker 3: When David Advasse joins us in the final hour, we'll
Speaker 3: make sure to ask him about it, because he has
Speaker 3: talked about this a lot on Dodger talk about how
Speaker 3: it is taken away from a little bit of the
Speaker 3: team gathering on a bench and getting up on that
Speaker 3: top step and being together next to your guy arm
Speaker 3: in arm during at bats or during a game because
Speaker 3: players are so distracted on their tablets and so focused
Speaker 3: on looking at at bats on those tablets right that
Speaker 3: they're not talking to each other, Hey what did you see?
Speaker 3: What'd you do this here? You know, and communicating with
Speaker 3: one another on the bench because they all got their
Speaker 3: heads down looking at what's going on, and they're not
Speaker 3: paying attention to the game in real time.
Speaker 2: And think and that's important, especially you know, as a
Speaker 2: leadoff hitter. I would come back almost I was almost
Speaker 2: Sember Connoissance mission the first time up. I would come
Speaker 2: back and say, okay, this is what he looks like
Speaker 2: is you know, guys, ball's got a lot of movement
Speaker 2: towards the end of the trek towards home plate. It's
Speaker 2: got a little bump in it, and he's got some
Speaker 2: jump in that fastball or you know it can't really
Speaker 2: pick up that slider. It's really tough, you know, at
Speaker 2: this time of day, you guys are gonna really have
Speaker 2: to concentrate on that side. And I would give a
Speaker 2: report to everybody in the dugout after, you know, my
Speaker 2: first time up. And that's really the the you know,
Speaker 2: the the the rule that a leadoff hitter has to
Speaker 2: do is bring that information back. Well.
Speaker 3: Now by the time you get back to the dugout,
Speaker 3: aby's it three times.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they.
Speaker 3: On their shut up. I already saw it, yeah, on
Speaker 3: way ahead of his sex. You already know what he's
Speaker 3: gonna do when I get up there. Eight six six
Speaker 3: ninety seven two five seventy. He is Steve Sacks, I'm
Speaker 3: Tim Kates. We want you to be a part of
Speaker 3: the show at eighty six six nine eighty seven, two
Speaker 3: five seventy. Coming up next hour, Walker Buehler will hear
Speaker 3: from the game three. Starter will go a little baseball
Speaker 3: whip around Bob Costs has taken some heat after his
Speaker 3: play by play last night in the Yankees Royals game.
Speaker 3: David Say will join us in the final hour. Als
Speaker 3: will Steven Nelson, who's calling the games here on an
Speaker 3: FI seventy LA Sports here in the LDS, get his
Speaker 3: thoughts on this Dodgers Padres rivalry? Is it a rivalry?
Speaker 3: Eight six six ninety seven two five seventy? How fired
Speaker 3: up are you for Game three? Is it a must win?
Speaker 3: Walker Bueller? How confident are you in his Game three
Speaker 3: start tonight? Is the Walker Bueller of twenty eighteen nineteen
Speaker 3: in twenty or the walker Bueller this season? Better hope
Speaker 3: it's the former eight six six nine eighty seven two
Speaker 3: five seventy. It's sax and Kate today. Am right here
Speaker 3: in m FI seventy l A sports ah as I
Speaker 3: look out the windows some of our burbank studios here
Speaker 3: in southern California. This sun is rising. That is a
Speaker 3: good sign. The sun is out, it is bright, and
Speaker 3: the Dodgers are in San Diego to take on the Padres.
Speaker 3: That means one thing. Dodger win, right, Saxony, the sun's out, Dodger.
Speaker 2: Win absolutely, and no need to worry Timmy could cross
Speaker 2: the spectrum. Right now, everybody is tied one one everybody.
Speaker 3: I think that's the first time since they redid the
Speaker 3: postseason structure all four series. Yeah, that's three. It's okay,
Speaker 3: it's okay. See it's okay. You mean the Big Bad
Speaker 3: Yankees are tied one one with the Kansas City Royals.
Speaker 2: Yeah, with the with the quote lucky Kansas City Royals,
Speaker 2: with the they got lucky Kansas City roylds. You know
Speaker 2: about that, right? Yeah? Oh that's not good.
Speaker 3: Well, we'll get into the series in an hour.
Speaker 2: But man, you've seen the Yankees get off the bush.
Speaker 3: Do they do it differently than everybody else?
Speaker 2: Uh? No, it's well, only that they look like they're
Speaker 2: the La Rams or the San Francisco forty nine ers
Speaker 2: when they get off the bus. Oh wow, they got
Speaker 2: some monster dudes over there on that team, they do.
Speaker 2: They got some big boys on that club and saying
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know saying that, you know,
Speaker 2: they're just lucky Kansas City. Oh my god, you know
Speaker 2: what have might happened? Now? Big boys might get really
Speaker 2: really ticked off and maybe you'll see something over there
Speaker 2: in that series.
Speaker 3: Yes, that series goes to Kansas City, now tied at one.
Speaker 3: Bobby with Junior, by the way, is one of my
Speaker 3: favorite players now baseball. Just an absolute stud man.
Speaker 2: He can do it all. He can do it all.
Speaker 2: He meant them.
Speaker 3: He might win a triple Crown. I don't know in
Speaker 3: the future he might, Yeah, no doubt about it. Eight
Speaker 3: sixty six ninety seven two five seventy. You heard the
Speaker 3: comments from Dave Roberts earlier in the hour. He called
Speaker 3: it unsettling and disrespectful, Manny Machado throwing the baseball over
Speaker 3: at the Dodgers dugout in the direction of Dave Roberts
Speaker 3: hitting the net in front of the Dodger dugout. This
Speaker 3: was what sparks really. Jack Flarity chirping more at Manny
Speaker 3: Machado in the sixth inning on Sunday night. We wonder
Speaker 3: why he kept going between the two of them in
Speaker 3: between innings. And that's exactly why. Is because Jack Flarity,
Speaker 3: to his credit, the one guy who stood up and
Speaker 3: said something to Manny Machado for throwing the baseball over
Speaker 3: at the Dodgers dugout. Actually you've seen the video, Yeah,
Speaker 3: you think it's disrespectful Yeah, there's no.
Speaker 2: Doubt it is. I mean, you know what, somebody's throwing
Speaker 2: the ball over there just to be courteous. This wasn't
Speaker 2: you know, this wasn't curteous and throwing it over there.
Speaker 2: I saw to ricochet off off the dugout. He do
Speaker 2: it pretty hard and it was right at Roberts. Was
Speaker 2: it was very obvious? What was the point there is
Speaker 2: like here you go in your face and there was intent.
Speaker 3: Is it more motivation upset and this from Dave Roberts
Speaker 3: and this Dodgers team, or is there really a chance
Speaker 3: Baseball might actually interviewed and say, well, Manny, you know what,
Speaker 3: we're going to suspend you or find you for.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 2: I don't think they're going to do that. No, I
Speaker 2: don't think it's that much. It's just a little, uh,
Speaker 2: you know, thorn in the side to the Dodgers, and
Speaker 2: the Dodgers could use it. I mean it's you know what,
Speaker 2: in everyday life, it is nothing, but you know what,
Speaker 2: in the world of baseball, use it, man, use it
Speaker 2: absolutely can be an advantage for you.
Speaker 3: Tommy and La joins us here on Saxon, Kates and
Speaker 3: Am on this TUESDA Morning lead up. To Game three.
Speaker 7: Good morning Tommy, Hey, good morning guys. I just want
Speaker 7: to say, you know, I never thought the Padres, uh
Speaker 7: there were rivals. It was more of the San Francisco Giants.
Speaker 7: But I always had like it was like a respected
Speaker 7: Riberry with the Giants. You know, they got the hardware.
Speaker 7: But after a couple of couple of days thinking about
Speaker 7: you know, the last game, UH just woke up this
Speaker 7: morning just you know, this is a Riberry, but it's
Speaker 7: like a hated Riberry.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 7: And I want to say, uh, I do feel awful
Speaker 7: about what happened with with the Dodger fans at the game.
