Speaker 1: seven World Series. I am Tim Kates, joined by two
Speaker 1: times World Series Champion Rookie of the Year fresh off
Speaker 1: in appearance at Yamava. He is the Steven Sacks saxy.
Speaker 1: Good morning, Good morning, Tim.
Speaker 3: How are you?
Speaker 1: I am fantastic, I'm feeling good. There's no way the
Speaker 1: Dodgers don't win this World Series. Ain't commanding three nothing
Speaker 1: lead over the Yankees. Yeah, I mean that's great. I
Speaker 1: mean we're all thinking that, right. Hey, kudos to Wan
Speaker 1: for getting me here on time today. Wan's a great driver. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Wan from Yamava. He was on arriving, he was, he
Speaker 1: was on all over it.
Speaker 3: He was great. Yeah, Tim, three to zero, it's a
Speaker 3: wonderful place to be. Imagine where we were not too
Speaker 3: long ago, when you weren't sleeping well, and you know,
Speaker 3: you were really sweating this thing. We got to get
Speaker 3: past the Padres. We did that, and then so on
Speaker 3: and so forth. So yeah, you know, I think you
Speaker 3: were sweating it with the Mets too.
Speaker 5: I was.
Speaker 3: You kind of sweated it out there with the Mets.
Speaker 4: I was.
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like now the Dodgers, really, the
Speaker 1: Padres and Mets were tougher challenges than New York Yankees
Speaker 1: so far from three games of this SERI trash talking
Speaker 1: a little bit. Yeah, I'll go ahead and throw it
Speaker 1: out there you're going. I mean, officially, the Dodgers' bullpen
Speaker 1: was their strength. The Dodgers offense was their strength going
Speaker 1: to this World Series, and all we heard from the
Speaker 1: Bronx was how great their starting pitching has been. Once
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge gets back to join the John Carlos Stanton,
Speaker 1: this offense was gonna get going and it was going
Speaker 1: to be a fierce battle in New York versus Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: It's been anything but that. Outside Garrett Cole in Game
Speaker 1: one pitching really well, yeah what he got. The Yankees
Speaker 1: have done nothing on the mound. They're starting pitching has
Speaker 1: been absolutely outpitched by the Dodgers. The bullpen for the
Speaker 1: Dodgers has been tremendously better than the Yankees bullpen. And
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge has still not shown up in this world.
Speaker 1: There's an mia. Has anybody seen Aaron Judge. It's hard
Speaker 1: to miss. I mean, there's milk cartons across America, his
Speaker 1: name on there in face exactly. Wow, that's he has
Speaker 1: disappeared in October. Yeah, he's well, he's he's trying hard.
Speaker 1: And look look there's there's everybody in the world telling
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge what he's doing wrong. So I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: come on here and say, oh, I got to figure
Speaker 1: it out. I know what he's doing.
Speaker 3: I can't do that because I don't want to be
Speaker 3: that person, you know, like oh when I played yeah right,
Speaker 3: nobody nobody cares. All right, been there and done that.
Speaker 3: That move on. Somebody's wearing your number now, just kind
Speaker 3: of going. So I never got into that, but I
Speaker 3: can tell you what he's doing.
Speaker 1: What is he doing though?
Speaker 3: No, oh no, he's he's hearing it from everybody. But
Speaker 3: but he's.
Speaker 1: Hearing it from the fans and the talk show host
Speaker 1: in New York. Boy, what's what's some of the the
Speaker 1: stuff that you're getting from that? They they yesterday had
Speaker 1: a whole thing about when he comes up for his
Speaker 1: first at Battie Incing Stadium. They were gonna all rise
Speaker 1: for Aaron Judge and give him a standing ovation to
Speaker 1: kind of motivate him to get him going here in
Speaker 1: the World Series. And it didn't work in his first
Speaker 1: at bat. Okay, and ever since that first at bat
Speaker 1: there was just a deflation inside Yankee Stadium. They fell
Speaker 1: behind early to nothing. Aaron Judge has been absolutely non
Speaker 1: existent in this world series and Yankee fans pointing the
Speaker 1: finger at him. Where has he been if he shows up?
Speaker 1: This is a different series. It's all Aaron Judges fault.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's not. Well, first of all, it's not
Speaker 3: all Aaron Judges fault. I mean the Dodger pitches are
Speaker 3: You're exactly right. They're doing some shoving right And the
Speaker 3: big question mark coming into this series is what's the
Speaker 3: starting pitching going to be like for the Dodgers. I mean,
Speaker 3: they can't match up, not as good as the Yankee
Speaker 3: of course not. But look what's happened. It's been a
Speaker 3: strong point for the Dodgers and Walker Buehler in particular
Speaker 3: last night was just absolutely nails. Tim. How much has that?
Speaker 3: Is that a Navidia stock right now that we're looking at.
Speaker 3: I mean, that thing is just going to the rocket.
Speaker 3: This is going to the moon, right it is? You know,
Speaker 3: I tell you what. There's gonna be some teams out
Speaker 3: there that think they can get the speaking about rocket
Speaker 3: the rocket deal on. You know, Buehler because he's healthy,
Speaker 3: he's obviously got his schwag back, and he's doing it
Speaker 3: in big time in postseason. There's some teams out there
Speaker 3: thinking Hey, I got some shekels laying around here. Why
Speaker 3: not throw it at Walker Bueller and let him get
Speaker 3: us over the top. He's proved he can do it
Speaker 3: when it's crunch time.
Speaker 1: He was fantastic last night, five shutout innings. We have
Speaker 1: a full show today between now and nine am. Plenty
Speaker 1: of time for your phone calls. Dodgers fans eight six
Speaker 1: six nine eighty seven two five seventy. You know the
Speaker 1: number eight six six nine eighty seven two five seventy.
Speaker 1: David Vets say, we'll join us on our last hour
Speaker 1: coming up later on this hour, we'll hear from Shoeo Tani.
Speaker 1: Next hour we'll hear from Dave Roberts and Freddie Freeman.
Speaker 1: Also next hour, Juan Soto is a free agents and
Speaker 1: the Dodgers have been thrown out there as a possible destination.
Speaker 1: He could end up in the free agent market. We'll
Speaker 1: get into that. We'll look ahead to Game four tonight
Speaker 1: as the Dodgers will have a bullpen game and apostle
Speaker 1: close out scenario for the Dodgers up three games to nothing.
Speaker 1: So we got a lot to get to this morning,
Speaker 1: including your phone calls. Eight sixty six, nine eighty seven, two, five, seventy.
Speaker 1: Are you ready to celebrate? Here in southern California? Is
Speaker 1: the city of Los Angeles ready for their eighth World
Speaker 1: Series title with the Los Angeles Dodgers, the first since
Speaker 1: twenty twenty and the first chance to have a parade
Speaker 1: since nineteen eighty eight. Saxy, Remember that parade? How was
Speaker 1: that parade for you? Guys?
Speaker 3: That magical? Absolutely magical. The only thing about it is
Speaker 3: everybody was sick on the team. What Yeah, everybody got sick.
Speaker 3: You know, when you let your defenses down after that
Speaker 3: whole year and then the playoffs beating the Mets, and
Speaker 3: then you go into the World Series. You know, everybody's
Speaker 3: got all their defenses up. Naturally, it's so a lot
Speaker 3: of stress going on. So what happens is you let
Speaker 3: your defenses down, a couple guys get sick. Pretty soon
Speaker 3: the whole team's sick. Everybody on the parade was sick.
Speaker 3: But it was worth it, of course.
Speaker 1: Do you remember that day? The parade, the podium celebration
Speaker 1: and getting up there and hearing everybody speak, He is
Speaker 1: it pretty pretty clear? Your mind?
Speaker 3: That day was very clear. Mike Davis and I were,
Speaker 3: you know, being stupid fools of ourselves up there just
Speaker 3: saying everything, having a good time. But they'll tell you what,
Speaker 3: it's just such a great thing. You know, your family's there,
Speaker 3: and you know, my kids were small and so they
Speaker 3: were they were enjoying the parade and it was it
Speaker 3: was just amazing and there's nothing like it. There's just
Speaker 3: nothing like being in a parade. Just think about it.
Speaker 3: I mean, if you're just like a boxer, you only
Speaker 3: celebrate it with yourself, if you're a swimmer, you know,
Speaker 3: something like that. But when you're on a team sport
Speaker 3: like this, you get to celebrate it with all of
Speaker 3: your teammates. It's there's nothing like being on a team.
Speaker 3: I just think it's the greatest thing ever and that's
Speaker 3: what you get to do.
Speaker 1: Well. The Dodgers are one win away from celebrating a
Speaker 1: World Series championship. Tonight could be that closeout game game
Speaker 1: for a bullpen game for the Dodgers. We'll have first
Speaker 1: pitch coming up at five oh eight. Well Morongo, Causino
Speaker 1: Dodgers on deck. Get it all started with our coverage
Speaker 1: at four o'clock this afternoon. Walker Buller last night five
Speaker 1: shutout innings. He allowed two hits, and those hits didn't
Speaker 1: come until the fourth inning, struck out five.
Speaker 3: Along the way.
Speaker 1: In three World Series starts now all game threes twenty
Speaker 1: eighteen against the Red Sox, twenty twenty against the Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay Rays, and last night against the New York Yankees,
Speaker 1: he has allowed one earn run in eighteen combined innings.
Speaker 1: That is a sub one Erra. Last night, Saxy Walker
Speaker 1: Buehler was a complete pitcher twenty twenty, twenty eighteen, Walker
Speaker 1: Buehler was a chucker. Walker Buehler was a guy who
Speaker 1: can pump ninety eight to one hundred, and then his
Speaker 1: off speed stuff just had you on roller skates inside
Speaker 1: the box last night though, and he even admitted it. Fastball,
Speaker 1: the four seam ninety six to ninety seven. Nice, but
Speaker 1: when you mix in the sweeper, the cutter, and that
Speaker 1: nasty over the top curveball that he had. He was
Speaker 1: fantastic last night, working all quadrants of the play. Absolutely fantastic.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you nailed it, Tim, next subject, No, No, he did.
Speaker 3: He nailed everything. What you said, changing the the the
Speaker 3: level of the the eye for the hitter with that big,
Speaker 3: bust in curveball he's pitching in and out, Like you said,
Speaker 3: all four quadrants. You got to do that to keep
Speaker 3: the hitter honest and Walker Bueller, his gout is in
Speaker 3: that phase right now. He's in that zone where we
Speaker 3: saw the best of people like I'll say the names
Speaker 3: like Clayton Kershaw and we saw Max Scherzer, the guys
Speaker 3: that have overpowering stuff and can go get another level
Speaker 3: when they needed it. A couple it with the secondary stuff,
Speaker 3: the bulldog mentality and the the ability to locate the
Speaker 3: fastball that is that is the biggest thing in his arsenal.
Speaker 3: Locating the fastball sets everything else up.
Speaker 1: And he had that fastball last night, or he was
Speaker 1: hitting his spots and he didn't have command of his
Speaker 1: off speed pitches because he wasn't getting the swing and missus.
Speaker 1: He wasn't getting the chases from the Yankee players. They
Speaker 1: were more disciplined last night in Game three than the
Speaker 1: first two games of this series. And they've had a
Speaker 1: chance to see him absolutely and so there isn't an
Speaker 1: opportunity for him to get a lot of you know,
Speaker 1: chases outside the zone. So he was nibbling a little
Speaker 1: bit with his osby pitches and they weren't chasing those,
Speaker 1: and so he was falling behind one oh, two to one,
Speaker 1: three to one, three to two in the game, there
Speaker 1: was a lot of pitches that were going deep.
Speaker 3: That's not good. But see that's how good Walker is,
Speaker 3: even though he gets it behind some hitters. Strike one
Speaker 3: is so important. Check out the splits. When you have
Speaker 3: a strike one versus a one to OHO for the hitter,
Speaker 3: it's just a it's a chasm between the two. It's
Speaker 3: just gigantic. But when he started to get some momentum
Speaker 3: more in the third inning, fourth inning, he started getting
Speaker 3: ahead of hitters. When he does that, you're not going
Speaker 3: to hit hit him. He's just got too good of stuff.
Speaker 1: He was fantastic for the first two inning's not giving
Speaker 1: up a hit, didn't give up a hit in the
Speaker 1: third and the fourth thing, and the Yankee starting to
Speaker 1: mount a little bit of a rally. Gen Carlo Stanton
Speaker 1: with the leadoff double, a great catch by Mookie Betts
Speaker 1: on a low liner to right field to prevent an
Speaker 1: RBI single, and then with two louds you had Anthony
Speaker 1: Volpi hit a base hit to the left, Oscar Hernanda
Speaker 1: his guns down, gian Carlos Stanton, who saxy I'm convinced
Speaker 1: I probably could have beat him home running from second
Speaker 1: to home. What is he doing? Where is the hustle
Speaker 1: on his team?
Speaker 3: I mean we saw it with a with Soto in
Speaker 3: right field, jogging gallivant and to a pop up and
Speaker 3: off in foul territory where he said is will get it.
Speaker 3: He gets them all. Anyway, as an outfielder, you gotta
Speaker 3: be busting your backside, and you got to be in
Speaker 3: commander that the balls in front of you. One thing
Speaker 3: right there and then and then the the non hustle
Speaker 3: was standing. When he came around third, I thought he's
Speaker 3: got something on his mind. He was in slow motion.
Speaker 3: I don't get it.
Speaker 1: He felt like he was going half speed, like he
Speaker 1: was just going to trot around like a ball in
Speaker 1: the gap watching a great throw from Oscar.
Speaker 3: Now throw, I mean one of that was just the
Speaker 3: defense for the Dodgers. How about the stops that Tommy
Speaker 3: Edmonds mid making a shortstop to prevent the run. You
Speaker 3: talked about the play Mookie Bets made in right field.
Speaker 3: Couple of them he's made now like that. The defense
Speaker 3: has been absolutely phenomenal for the Dodgers. And that fourth
Speaker 3: inning and the catch you mentioned Mookie Betts was great.
Speaker 3: It saved a base hit and gen Carlos Stanton scoring,
Speaker 3: and then tay Oscar Hernandez absolutely thrown.
Speaker 1: A dart ninety three miles per hour. Was that throw
Speaker 1: anywhere else he was safe?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Anywhere else? I mean six inches either way, he's safe.
Speaker 3: But I want to give a shout out to right
Speaker 3: now to how about the play at third base again
Speaker 3: by Munsie making those plays of coming in the high chopper,
Speaker 3: to do or die in the sweep with the glove
Speaker 3: and to throw in the same motion of first base
Speaker 3: a dart over to Freddie Freeman not an easy play,
Speaker 3: and munths he's making it with ease.
Speaker 1: I love that you bringing that up because it just
Speaker 1: goes as another whole hum play in the box score.
Speaker 1: And for fans they're like, oh, that's just a don't
Speaker 1: take it for granted now, they're just supposed to make.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what. Munsey is underrated on defense. I mean,
Speaker 3: he's not the fastest guy in the world. His feet
Speaker 3: aren't the quickest. It's the one step at third base
Speaker 3: is the most important thing. But Monsey gets it done,
Speaker 3: and he's got a very accurate arm.
Speaker 1: Dodgers defense picking up Walker Buller in their fourth inning
Speaker 1: last night, he went five shut out against the Yankees
Speaker 1: to get to win five punch outs over five innings
Speaker 1: seventy six pitches. Let's hear from Walker Buller post game
Speaker 1: last night after his great performance.
Speaker 6: Walker, you talked about late in the season that you
Speaker 6: didn't know at the time if you had the stuff
Speaker 6: to get guys out. Seeing what you've been able to
Speaker 6: do over the last two starts, what do you feel
Speaker 6: like you've been able to find?
Speaker 1: You know, I think.
Speaker 7: As kind of brutal as this to say, like it
Speaker 7: takes that adrenaline and that stuff to kind of really
Speaker 7: get me going kind of mentally. And you know, I
Speaker 7: don't know if I I wish I would have felt
Speaker 7: that all year. I could tell you I'm so excited
Speaker 7: to pitch every single game I've ever gone out there.
Speaker 7: But there is something different in the playoffs, and I
Speaker 7: think at least long term for me, like to get
Speaker 7: through this playoffs at least in the way that I have,
Speaker 7: like because it's really encouraging for me personally just because
Speaker 7: I know it's in there and I just kind of
Speaker 7: got to unlock it a litle little bit, But that
Speaker 7: that feeling of there's an organization relying on me today
Speaker 7: to win a playoff game, I think is kind of
Speaker 7: the weight that I like feeling and and kind of
Speaker 7: gets me in a certain place mentally. That that it's
Speaker 7: kind of hard to replicate.
Speaker 3: Stay in the fourth run your left.
Speaker 7: Walker, what's the feeling being one game away from a
Speaker 7: World Series Championship. I'm excited to watch our guys go
Speaker 7: tomorrow and and see what happened.
Speaker 8: So tremendous movie.
Speaker 7: You know, I'll be ready if there's a game seven,
Speaker 7: but my hope is that I don't have to throw anymore.
Speaker 1: Walker, you had some pretty good outfield defense behind you tonight.
Speaker 7: What did you see on first on the on the
Speaker 7: Mookie play and then on on the Taoskar play in
Speaker 7: that fourth inning? Yeah, you know, the Mookie Mookie play
Speaker 7: was interesting. He kind of obviously the ball is spinning
Speaker 7: a little weird and and kind of set back for
Speaker 7: a second and made the play. He's won a few
Speaker 7: goal gloves out there, so that that's something we kind
Speaker 7: of expect for him, and and you know, Tayo through
Speaker 7: through stanting out at home and I've gotten the dugout
Speaker 7: and I said, they don't know about you in New York.
Speaker 7: You know, you think they would remember what he did
Speaker 7: when we played here in the regular season.
Speaker 1: And you know, pretty.
Speaker 7: Cool for him to show off, you know, the other
Speaker 7: side of the ball and kind of put a perfect
Speaker 7: throw and will put the tag on. So, yeah, that
Speaker 7: was a big momentum play. I think obviously the first
Speaker 7: couple of innings, I was kind of going going pretty smooth,
Speaker 7: and for them to get a little momentum and I
Speaker 7: shut it down that way, it was was pretty cool.
Speaker 1: There is Walker Bueler last night after his five shutout innings,
Speaker 1: and the first thing he said sexy. He loves October.
Speaker 1: The adrenaline. He gets up for it a little bit
Speaker 1: more than the regular season. And that's why you see
Speaker 1: his game elevate to the level that he's at right now.
Speaker 1: And this is why I think whoever he signs in
Speaker 1: the in the post and in the free agency in
Speaker 1: this next offseason, hopefully here he signs with the Dodgers. Yeah, uh,
Speaker 1: this is a guy that you know, hey, over the
Speaker 1: course of one sixty two, he's gonna be there for
Speaker 1: you when healthy. But come October, if you're a playoff contender. Man,
Speaker 1: you've got a horse, now, yeah, you've got a horse.
Speaker 1: Frock to him.
Speaker 3: You know what, I'll tell you what with everything that's
Speaker 3: happened to him, But first of all, I hope he
Speaker 3: signs here with the Dodgers. There's so much left in
Speaker 3: there and he said that in his postgame in thirty Yeah,
Speaker 3: there's a lot left in there. I mean, not a
Speaker 3: lot of wear on that rebuilt arm as well. He's
Speaker 3: got a new lease on that. And I just think
Speaker 3: that that with his attitude where he is, the way
Speaker 3: that he's matured into this spot right now where he
Speaker 3: can do a combination of great stuff and pitchability and
Speaker 3: all that he's been through. He's had to go through
Speaker 3: a lot of things that he had to be fixed
Speaker 3: in his life, and he's done that. This guy's primed
Speaker 3: right now to have the best five years of his career.
Speaker 3: And you know what, I hope the Dodgers signed him
Speaker 3: because I think he's going to be a gift for
Speaker 3: the team.
Speaker 1: The Dodgers have dominated the New York Yankees through the
Speaker 1: first three games of this World Series, outscoring them, out
Speaker 1: hustling them, out playing them on defense, and out pitching them.
Speaker 1: The Dodgers starting pitchers three games so far combined sixteen
Speaker 1: and two third innings, a one point six to two er,
Speaker 1: compared to the Yankees starting pitching twelve innings combined and
Speaker 1: an eer of six saxy. This thing is O V
Speaker 1: E R over.
Speaker 3: I know you want to say that, you have said it,
Speaker 3: you just did. It's not over, buddy, I mean it's not. Listen,
Speaker 3: you don't want to get into the crushing situation where
Speaker 3: you're looking at Game seven. Okay, you got to end
Speaker 3: this thing right now. The way the Dodgers are played,
Speaker 3: you just spelled it out. They're out hustling them. They
Speaker 3: want it more. You can tell look at the body
Speaker 3: language between the two teams. It's no comparison as far
Speaker 3: as that goes. I get all that stuff, but it's
Speaker 3: not over. You know how it is in baseball, it's
Speaker 3: very fickle. Things can turn turn, you know, crazy things
Speaker 3: can happen. The Dodgers obviously know this. Dave Roberts knows
Speaker 3: it better than anybody they but I'll tell you one thing.
Speaker 3: They do have their foot on the back of their neck,
Speaker 3: and you got to just crush them right now. Do
Speaker 3: not let these guys up.
Speaker 1: Do not let them up. He is Sacks. I'm Tim Kate.
Speaker 1: Thanks for being with us on this Tuesday morning as
Speaker 1: you're waking up. Yeah, a little smile on your face
Speaker 1: Southern California, as the Dodgers are one win away from
Speaker 1: their eighth World Series championship. How you feeling? Eight sixty
Speaker 1: six nine eighty seven two five seventy Walker Bueller, brilliant
Speaker 1: Dodgers defense.
Speaker 3: Awesome?
Speaker 1: Freddie Freeman, what else can you say about what he
Speaker 1: has done so far this this postseason? Yet another home
Speaker 1: run from the Dodgers first Baseman show. Hey, Otani hasn't
Speaker 1: done much in this World Series, and the Dodgers still
Speaker 1: have a commanding three to zero series lead. Your phone
Speaker 1: calls coming up. We'll hear from Otawni, We'll hear from
Speaker 1: the manager, Dave Roberts, We'll hear from Freddie Freeman. David
Speaker 1: Vas joins us in the final hour and you eight
Speaker 1: sixty six nine eighty seven two five seventy. It's Sax
Speaker 1: and Kates to the AM on your Home of the Dodgers,
Speaker 1: a FI seventy light Sports. Sax and Katson Am on
Speaker 1: this Tuesday morning. Your Dodgers up three games to nothing.
Speaker 1: In the World Series after a four to two win
Speaker 1: over the Yankees last night. You knew the Yankees were
Speaker 1: doomed when Fat Joe walked around the infield singing his
Speaker 1: hits from twenty thirty years ago and had a music
Speaker 1: track behind them that he couldn't even stay on the
Speaker 1: same rhythm with as he was singing and rapping out there.
Speaker 1: It was quite a performance, I guess from Fat Joe.
Speaker 1: Nothing like what Ice Cube did out of Dodgers Stadium
Speaker 1: before Game two on Saturday night. That was tremendous. That
Speaker 1: was a performance, But Fat Joe did last night on
Speaker 1: the field of the Yankee Stadium. I'm still trying to
Speaker 1: figure out what that was exactly. But the Dodgers then
Speaker 1: went out and scored two in the top of the
Speaker 1: first thanks to Freddie Freeman in a two run home
Speaker 1: run on a one to two pitch, with Shoe a
Speaker 1: Otani on bass, Mookie Betts a home RBI single in
Speaker 1: the third. The Dodgers saxy had chances to tack on
Speaker 1: more runs, left the bases loaded, had a safety squeeze
Speaker 1: that didn't turn out their way. They had runners of
Speaker 1: scoring position. Then in the fourth inning, they could have
Speaker 1: really put this game out of reach, but yet they
Speaker 1: kept the Yankees kind of hanging around there with that
Speaker 1: three to nothing lead late until.
Speaker 3: Late in the game. Yeah, So, what's the chances of
Speaker 3: you buying a first class expensive ticket on a plane
Speaker 3: to go into New York to get a front seat
Speaker 3: at a Fat Joe concert? Really?
Speaker 4: You?
Speaker 1: I mean, i'd say you've been paying me to do it,
Speaker 1: but you probably could pay me to do it. But
Speaker 1: you had to pay me a lot because I didn't
Speaker 1: even know who Fat Joe was yesterday afternoon.
Speaker 3: It had to drop five grand in that whole whole
Speaker 3: adventure to do that. Would you do that? No? No, no, no,
Speaker 3: Fat Joe.
Speaker 1: I might as well take the five thousand, dig a hole,
Speaker 1: bury you and then never know where it was at
Speaker 1: for the rest of my life.
Speaker 3: Wow, you might as well just throw it away. Yeah
Speaker 3: that's tough.
Speaker 1: Okay, So no Fat Joe, no ice Cube, Yes, no,
Speaker 1: Fat Joe. Absolutely, I got you, all right? So anyway,
Speaker 1: yeah Yankees.
Speaker 3: Uh, look, I'm looking up this thing right now on
Speaker 3: the Internet and they're they're dissecting and telling the world
Speaker 3: what is wrong with Aaron Judge?
Speaker 1: They got they know the answer. They got grafts.
Speaker 3: They got pictures, they've got silhouettes of him swinging and
Speaker 3: why he's doing this, and they showed this to Aaron Judge.
Speaker 3: They got everything, Aaron, this is this is what you're doing.
Speaker 3: Here you go erin right here. Check this out played
Speaker 3: appearance number two, fly out to left. The takeaway, I mean,
Speaker 3: they got it broken down like it's it's you know
Speaker 3: what I'll tell you, it's it's amazing. It's great the
Speaker 3: transfer of information that we have today, right, but but
Speaker 3: it gets a little bit too much, uh, trying to
Speaker 3: fill space and whatnot by doing this things like this.
Speaker 1: I mean it's obvious, right he's chasing. Yes, that's it. Okay,
Speaker 1: tighten up the zone and he becomes the beast again.
Speaker 1: I mean I could do that in like one sentence.
Speaker 1: His first at bat against Walker Bueller in the bottom
Speaker 1: half of the first inning, after a Torres walk Sodo
Speaker 1: lined out to the left, Judge comes up and the first
Speaker 1: pitch from Walker Bueller to Aaron Judge and the stand
Speaker 1: are up. They're cheering on, they're chanting, Aaron Judge are
Speaker 1: trying to get him going.
Speaker 3: You're doing all did they do all rise?
Speaker 1: Yeah? They did all rise, just trying to get Aaron
Speaker 1: Judge going. The first pitch for Walker Bueller was a
Speaker 1: ninety five mile an hour fastball, four seamer right down Broadway, and.
Speaker 3: He swung and missed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then the next pitch he didn't get a chase.
Speaker 1: The third pitch, he didn't get a chase. The fourth pitch,
Speaker 1: another fastball and he fouls it off. Then a ball
Speaker 1: three are on a knuckle curve right there. Walker Bueller
Speaker 1: only had his fastball that at bat, All three offspeed
Speaker 1: pitches out of the zone. The two fastballs he threw
Speaker 1: strikes three to two. Pitch he throws the cutter again,
Speaker 1: catches the corner, and Judge swings and misses. Just sort
Speaker 1: of sums up Aaron Judge so far in the postseason. Well,
Speaker 1: you know your answer was at the beginning of the sequence. Okay,
Speaker 1: fastball he fouled off. You can't miss that. You can't
Speaker 1: miss the fastball right down the slot. Okay, you just
Speaker 1: can't miss it. That's the whole thing, you know, get
Speaker 1: your good pitch to hit, don't miss it, because look,
Speaker 1: chances are, in a major league at bat, you're gonna
Speaker 1: get one good pitch to hit. If you're lucky, you'll
Speaker 1: get too, but that usually doesn't happen. These guys can
Speaker 1: hit that thing eight out of ten pretty much right
Speaker 1: where they want it. You're gonna get one pitch to hit,
Speaker 1: don't miss it. And he's missing the pitch. I mean,
Speaker 1: does it seem bad?
Speaker 3: Does it seem to you like he's I mean, you
Speaker 3: know again, he looks like he's swinging straight up. I
Speaker 3: mean the whole philosophy angle. Oh God, like he needs
Speaker 3: a launch angle. Right, he can almost reach over the
Speaker 3: fence from home plate, but yeah, the whole launch angle thing. Look,
Speaker 3: Aaron Judge makes mistakes and hits the ball and still
Speaker 3: can square it up enough to hit it out to
Speaker 3: right field.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 3: He's a purposeful hitter. He understands letting the ball travel.
Speaker 3: It just seems to me he's I see the side
Speaker 3: view of him. He is swinging out of like a
Speaker 3: forty five degree angle up. Yeah, well, he didn't need
Speaker 3: to swing up. I mean, I mean, but I see,
Speaker 3: I see this happening, and it's it's getting more. It's
Speaker 3: being exacerbated by what the general trend would be. I
Speaker 3: see these guys in triple A doing this. There's guy
Speaker 3: at second, there's a guy at second with nobody out
Speaker 3: and they got the shift on. You're notn't even thinking
Speaker 3: about hitting the ground ball to the right side. These
Speaker 3: guys are. They're supposed to do though, but they don't
Speaker 3: even think about it. The defense knows that there's a
Speaker 3: hundred feet between the guy playing in back a second base,
Speaker 3: the second basement and the first baseman. There's one hundred
Speaker 3: feet between them. You could just almost roll it over there.
Speaker 3: What's the difference. It's a you know, it's a base
Speaker 3: hit and a run scored. That they won't do it.
Speaker 3: We gotta launch. It's that's where we are though, tim today,
Speaker 3: and you see Aaron Judge, you know, just trying to
Speaker 3: launch everything.
Speaker 1: God, he's a great hitter. When he goes to the
Speaker 1: opposite field. You had a great analogy saying he was
Speaker 1: a sleeping bear. You don't want to wake.
Speaker 3: Up, just let him do what he's doing.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, this is what I this is
Speaker 1: what I envision right now is Aaron Judge is a
Speaker 1: sleeping bear hybrid dating right now. And the Yankee fans
Speaker 1: were like the guys standing around him yelling at the bear,
Speaker 1: wake up, come on, get up, get up, bear, Get up.
Speaker 1: Cool that they're trying to get behind to do that,
Speaker 1: but Aaron Judge just keeps sleeping. He's hybridating. Still. The
Speaker 1: Dodgers are just tiptoeing around this bear with a bunch
Speaker 1: of meat in their hands, saying, come on, bear, come on, bear,
Speaker 1: tempting him, and he still won't wake up. They'll thing
Speaker 1: you don't want to do, though, is kick the bear. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and brought the bear because that bear is gonna wake up.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Oh, you know, like they say in baseball for
Speaker 3: a long time, somebody is gonna pay, And believe me,
Speaker 3: somebody is gonna pay for this, and Aaron Judge is
Speaker 3: gonna make him pay, like you can't believe. But let
Speaker 3: it be in spring training next year. Don't let it
Speaker 3: be now. You don't want to wake that dude up.
Speaker 1: That's the same thing Rick Monday said last He's right,
Speaker 1: he said say that. He said the exact same thing
Speaker 1: as I was driving home from the pregame show. He goes,
Speaker 1: he's gonna wake up, he's gonna get going. Aron Judge's
Speaker 1: gonna get going. You just want to be in spring training? Hey,
Speaker 1: that's right, did you say that?
Speaker 3: Okay, exact same you know what, Look, the dude hit
Speaker 3: fifty eight jacks, okay, and he hits them like you
Speaker 3: can't believe, and he's he you know, he was a
Speaker 3: great hit or too. How rare is it to see
Speaker 3: a guy that's a prolific home run hitter that has
Speaker 3: a great batting. U see, they don't go hand in hand.
Speaker 3: Rarely when you find that great gem that does you
Speaker 3: know he is? You know, he's celebrated. But lots of
Speaker 3: times you see the guys thirty home runs, two h six, Oh,
Speaker 3: but he walks a lot. Yeah, okay, you know what,
Speaker 3: give me the guy that can barrel it up with
Speaker 3: a good average and if he got some power on there, hey,
Speaker 3: that's a fantastic hitter. And Eron Judge is that guy.
Speaker 1: He had a stretching where he was getting home run
Speaker 1: after home run, and he was already at fifty home
Speaker 1: runs and we're thinking, man, how many home runs this
Speaker 1: guy gonna hit? In September, he cooled off and went
Speaker 1: one through one of these stretches in which he couldn't
Speaker 1: hit a home run. But all it took was that
Speaker 1: it was an opposite way home run. In mid September,
Speaker 1: I want to say it was, and it sparked him again. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what the Dodgers cannot do tonight in Game four.
Speaker 1: That's why it's so important to step on their throat.
Speaker 3: You know what I would do if I was him.
Speaker 3: It's not he don't care what I say, but I
Speaker 3: would just eliminate half of the field. I would say,
Speaker 3: from second base, uh, to the to the leftfield line,
Speaker 3: I am not even gonna look at there. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: I'm gonna look right up the middle and to the
Speaker 3: right field side because that's where his strong point is.
Speaker 3: When anyway, and if he's a little bit early on it,
Speaker 3: he'll still hit that thing out to left right. So
Speaker 3: I would. I would eliminate half the field. That's just
Speaker 3: personally what I would do. When I've had times that's
Speaker 3: pulling off the ball, I would just say, in practice,
Speaker 3: that's what Freddy Freeman does. Freddie Freeman never hits the
Speaker 3: ball out of the ballpark in batting practice. He hits
Speaker 3: line drives through the shortstop. That's why he's such a
Speaker 3: great professional hitter because he's got it figured out. He
Speaker 3: knows what he has to do. I would, you know,
Speaker 3: I don't want to see judge do that now, but
Speaker 3: he can do it in spring training. But that's what
Speaker 3: I would do.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Terry in Orange County start things off
Speaker 1: on this Tuesday morning as the Dodgers are twenty seven
Speaker 1: ounce away from a World Series championship.
Speaker 9: Hi, Terry, good morning guys.
Speaker 1: How you doing, terryantastic?
Speaker 4: Great?
Speaker 8: Hey listen, you know I'm actually a Paudrey fan and
Speaker 8: I'm happy for the Dodgers. You know, I live forty
Speaker 8: minutes from Dodgers Stadium, and it's you know, it's a
Speaker 8: great experience. But you know the way people act after
Speaker 8: the parade or before the parade, you know, it's really
Speaker 8: gotten bad. And you know, mister Sachs, you were in
Speaker 8: the parade and you had to got to enjoy it.
Speaker 8: Let's not tear down La when the Dodgers win the
Speaker 8: World Series. Let's act like we have some class. You
Speaker 8: know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I think they will, Terry. I think Dodger fans I've
Speaker 1: got a pretty good head on their shoulders. And it's
Speaker 1: not going to be a complete s show out there
Speaker 1: as they say, yeah, we don't want parade with civility. Yes,
Speaker 1: of course, who said it's going to be an out
Speaker 1: of control party. I mean, yeah, people like to celebrate
Speaker 1: and have a good time. Light out some fireworks. There's
Speaker 1: nothing wrong with that. It's illegal in La County, but
Speaker 1: nothing wrong with that. But for a parade, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be awesome. And this is a city that's had parades
Speaker 1: in the last couple of years. Just need to remind
Speaker 1: you the La Rams had a parade in downtown La
Speaker 1: just a couple of years ago after winning a Super
Speaker 1: Bowl for the Dodgers, though, and Dave Roberts, Mookie Betts,
Speaker 1: Austin Barnes has said it. Clayton Kershaw has been very
Speaker 1: unspoken about. Max Munsey even has talked about it. They
Speaker 1: didn't get a parade in twenty twenty.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 1: They won a World Series and everybody went their separate ways.
Speaker 1: Everybody couldn't get together because of COVID. The city couldn't celebrate,
Speaker 1: even though they were fireworks popping off in the city,
Speaker 1: but the city couldn't celebrate together. This will be the
Speaker 1: first chance for them to do that. Anythink people are fired.
Speaker 3: Up about that? Yes, I think so too, And yeah,
Speaker 3: Terry's right, we wanted to have civility in the city
Speaker 3: and there will be. But yeah, nothing wrong with celebrating
Speaker 3: that thing to the hill. And even when you go
Speaker 3: through the steps of getting to the World Series, you know,
Speaker 3: the you know, the LCSA and the NLDS. You gotta
Speaker 3: celebrate those times after the game, you know. But civility
Speaker 3: has got to rain, for sure.
Speaker 1: Tony and Santa Clarina is next up here on Saxon
Speaker 1: Kates in the Am Dodgers one went away, Tony.
Speaker 10: Hey, the defense totally saved Bueller, but not the offense.
Speaker 10: And mister Sachs. This has a big similarity to nineteen
Speaker 10: eighty one. In nineteen eighty one, Reggie Jackson, Chris Chambliss
Speaker 10: and Dave Winfield were supposed to pound the Dodgers, just
Speaker 10: like Stanton Soto and Judge. And Judge is a total
Speaker 10: Dave Winfield total like Dave Wilfield in nineteen eighty one,
Speaker 10: total choker if you remember.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's getting a lot of references to Dave Winfield. Aaron,
Speaker 1: I appreciate it, Tony, thanks riting the phone call. The
Speaker 1: defense we mentioned it. You know, Walker Buehler was really
Speaker 1: good the first three and he's did not give up
Speaker 1: a hit. The fourth inning comes around and he gives
Speaker 1: up a one out double to Jean Carlos. Stanton Chishom
Speaker 1: comes up. Chisham hits a liner to right field and
Speaker 1: in comes Mookie Betts diving head first, backhanded catch, which
Speaker 1: saxy you can talk about. It's a difficult play to
Speaker 1: make with the ball the way it's sinking in the
Speaker 1: spin on.
Speaker 3: It could could have been a knuckleball. Oh yeah, And.
Speaker 1: It could have been bad. It could have been an
Speaker 1: RBI single. And what is a three nine in lead
Speaker 1: all of a sudden to three to one game, and
Speaker 1: maybe you've woken up the New York Yankees offense. Instead,
Speaker 1: it's out number two. Volty comes up, hits a single
Speaker 1: to left and jarn carl Stanton stuck in neutral running
Speaker 1: around from second to home and they gun him ountain
Speaker 1: home crisis averted, no runs across and great defense from
Speaker 1: the Dodger.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, And and it all came together with the
Speaker 3: the help from Stanton. Now, look, I I don't, I haven't.
Speaker 3: I gotta tell you so, I haven't seen Stanton in
Speaker 3: a real race. I haven't seen him lots of times
Speaker 3: he's jogging around the bases slope, Man, where is I
Speaker 3: didn't see the the grimacene on the face of the
Speaker 3: effort to get in a kind of giddy up.
Speaker 1: Where's the giddy up there? But but kudos to ta
Speaker 1: Oscar to threw a missile down there on one hop
Speaker 1: and after the ball hit the ground, it kind of
Speaker 1: leaned in, you know, to Stanton as he was sliding
Speaker 1: and he I mean, it couldn't have been a more
Speaker 1: perfect throw that that Tae Oscar made right there. So
Speaker 1: the Dodger defense has been absolutely epic. And Mookie Bets,
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy, how.
Speaker 3: Tough is that catch out there?
Speaker 8: Right?
Speaker 3: It's tough die. That's what I'm referred to that that
Speaker 3: ball is doing dances that's on his way there. It
Speaker 3: probably went two or three different directions, you know, that's
Speaker 3: what it does. And when you square it up like that,
Speaker 3: she doesn't hit that ball pretty darn hard. But that's
Speaker 3: what Mookie does. That's why he can go and play
Speaker 3: shortstop per second, it doesn't matter. He's that kind of athlete.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm loving about this World series. Certainly, the
Speaker 1: three to zero lead is fantastic, but the way in
Speaker 1: which they've gotten to this three to zero series lead,
Speaker 1: we all thought it was gonna be O Tawny, Betts
Speaker 1: and Freeman maybe carrying the way and the rest of
Speaker 1: the lineup with carry and Hunt. It's been starting pitching.
Speaker 1: It's been the bullpen, which.
Speaker 3: We've known about.
Speaker 1: And the defense. Yes, I mean there hasn't been a
Speaker 1: play on defense that has opened the door for the
Speaker 1: Yankees right and has shut it every single time.
Speaker 3: Ime, he just flat out shut it. Every everybody is
Speaker 3: has done it, you know. You know, I just see
Speaker 3: the two teams and the Dodgers to me and I'm
Speaker 3: just you know, I've played for both teams, so I
Speaker 3: have I have no you know, dog in this hunt.
Speaker 3: But the Dodgers and my friends, my sources back tell
Speaker 3: me the same thing. The Dodgers are a better team
Speaker 3: all the way around. Pitching, bullpen, defense, power in the
Speaker 3: middle of the order, the supporting cast at the bottom
Speaker 3: of the order. The Dodgers are just a better team now,
Speaker 3: whether they can close it out and beat these guys.
Speaker 3: The Yankees are in the World Series for a reason. Sure,
Speaker 3: they're a very good ball club, but man, the Dodgers
Speaker 3: just this is the This is the best Dodger team.
Speaker 3: This is the best Dodger team I've ever seen ever. Ever,
Speaker 3: the eighty eight team no overchieved a lot. It did,
Speaker 3: but not this kind of talent. I'm talking sheer talent. Now. Look,
Speaker 3: Dave robertson the team have taken that great talent and
Speaker 3: they've they've molded it into a specific, you know, mission
Speaker 3: for the whole club. And it's working. Okay, they're executing.
Speaker 3: It's not just a bunch of talent that's going off
Speaker 3: and doing its own thing. These guys are working together,
Speaker 3: and that's a beautiful thing. It is awesome.
Speaker 1: Mike and La you're next up here on your home
Speaker 1: of the Dodgers, a five seventy LA Sports nine away
Speaker 1: from an eighth World Series championship.
Speaker 3: Mike, how you doing.
Speaker 9: Pretty good? Thanks for taking my call. You know, the
Speaker 9: Dodgers being up three and zero. Everything's great in the universe.
Speaker 9: But at this time of year, I love to give
Speaker 9: credit where credit is due, and I want to give
Speaker 9: credit to the Dodger management. I want to give credit
Speaker 9: to the Dodger you know, scouting or drafting department, every
Speaker 9: department that puts that team together. Because when you have
Speaker 9: a team that doesn't even have to pressure someone like
Speaker 9: you know, Kershaw to come back or pressure, Oh, Tani,
Speaker 9: you might have to pitch, you know, you know all
Speaker 9: these things. And when I was watching the game last night,
Speaker 9: even when Alex Verdugo hit that home run, I said, yep,
Speaker 9: ex Dodger, you know all these things. And right now
Speaker 9: a lot of Yankee fans are throwing around that phrase,
Speaker 9: Oh you don't want to wake up a sleeping giant.
Speaker 9: Let me share something with all of them. The Dodgers
Speaker 9: have been awake the whole time, so I don't know
Speaker 9: what you're talking about. Very nice, very nice, min guy
Speaker 9: like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, nice, nice kind of cap on it right there,
Speaker 1: like that, the Dodgers of the sleeping giants.
Speaker 3: I like that.
Speaker 1: I like that. Yeah, Mike, you hit it on the head.
Speaker 1: It starts from the top and all the way down
Speaker 1: from ownership and their ability to want to win and
Speaker 1: spend money. And in reality, that's what sports is all about,
Speaker 1: is winning. And when you got owners that backed that
Speaker 1: by showing the support and going out and getting the
Speaker 1: talent and making sure Dave Roberts and this coaching staff
Speaker 1: has the talent on the field over the course of
Speaker 1: a regular season and the postseason. It starts right there.
Speaker 1: The front office. Andrew Freeman, Brandon Gomes, the general manager,
Speaker 1: all the scouting department, the analytical department, recognizing talent, recognizing
Speaker 1: players of what they can and can't do. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: give you two examples, Brent Honeywell Junior and Anthony Bonda,
Speaker 1: two guys you never heard of four months ago. Never
Speaker 1: heard of these guys four months ago. Don't even know
Speaker 1: where Brent Honeywell Junior came from before he came to
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. Anthony Bonda was in Cleveland and an afterthought
Speaker 1: they didn't want him anymore. Comes to the Dodgers, and
Speaker 1: what Connor mcginns and Mark Pryor and the coaching staff
Speaker 1: are really good at. They come up to you and
Speaker 1: all right, Steve, you do this good, You do this good.
Speaker 1: You don't do this goat very well. So we're gonna
Speaker 1: eliminate that from your your repertoire. So we're gonna make it,
Speaker 1: make you a two pitch pitcher instead of a five
Speaker 1: pitch pitcher. And you're gonna use those two pitches and
Speaker 1: you're gonna dominate. And we're gonna move your finger on
Speaker 1: this to get the knuckle curve a little bit more,
Speaker 1: because we can get more spit on that, and you
Speaker 1: get more chase on that, and all of a sudden
Speaker 1: you start working on in a bullpen session and next thing,
Speaker 1: you know, Anthony Bonda, who you don't even know, is
Speaker 1: a vital part of your Dodgers' bullpen in October because
Speaker 1: they recognize talent. They can see what the guy does
Speaker 1: really well, and they utilize that and they emphasize that
Speaker 1: and they get the best out of every play.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a beautiful thing. Great description too, too. Organization
Speaker 3: can do that. No, No, they don't. And they're great
Speaker 3: at it. They've been doing this for a long time.
Speaker 3: I mean they're they're great at it. They can pick
Speaker 3: up the talent and whatnot. But look, it's it's it's uh,
Speaker 3: it's now where the middle inf the middle middle relievers
Speaker 3: aren't just oh guys that you know, wipe it up
Speaker 3: and you know, finish this and whatever. They have specific causes,
Speaker 3: uh for which they're on. They're they're on the team,
Speaker 3: and they go out and they attack that one. They
Speaker 3: thwart the inning that could be a big bust out
Speaker 3: type of thing for the for the opposition, and they're
Speaker 3: able to uh move on to the next guy. The
Speaker 3: thing is you got to have that that every link
Speaker 3: in that chain has got to be good. You got
Speaker 3: one guy that kind of busts that out, you know,
Speaker 3: that could that could break everything down. So you got
Speaker 3: to make sure that everybody is on their game. And
Speaker 3: I like the idea about eliminating everything else. Do these
Speaker 3: two things right here, yep, and that's gonna put you
Speaker 3: in a situation you can get some guys out.
Speaker 1: It's something they do that I can't believe no other
Speaker 1: team does it or they can't do it to the
Speaker 1: degree that the Dodgers do it or recognize it. Might
Speaker 1: the Dodgers do it? Simple grip here. Hey, you know what,
Speaker 1: Your changeup worked really well two teams ago, but you
Speaker 1: got away from that because that team told you to
Speaker 1: throw this pitch more. We want you to go back
Speaker 1: to the change up because that's nasty and for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: hitters can't hit it, the right handers can't figure it out.
Speaker 1: Go back to that, and all of a sudden you
Speaker 1: got Ryan Brasier, who the Red Sox didn't want a
Speaker 1: year ago. Ryan Brazier's a stud.
Speaker 3: And the young guys, I'm excited to see what this do.
Speaker 3: They have something to work with with Enriquez. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: mean this guy can blow. I mean you can throw
Speaker 3: one hundred and three. Yeah, come on there, We're gonna
Speaker 3: work something with him.
Speaker 1: Eight sixty six nine eighty seven two five seventy. We
Speaker 1: got one line open. It's for you. Eight six six
Speaker 1: nine eighty seven two five seventy. Saxon Kates in the
Speaker 1: am as we're getting Southern California ready for a Dodger
Speaker 1: World Series championship nine innings away the Dodgers from their
Speaker 1: eighth championship for the franchise. It's Saxon Kate's and am
Speaker 1: right here in your home with the Dodgers an five
Speaker 1: seventy light Sports Saxon Kate's am on this Tuesday morning. Oh,
Speaker 1: the Dodgers a three to zero lead over the New
Speaker 1: York Yankees in his best of seven World Series. Dodgers
Speaker 1: a four to two win last night behind Walker Bueller's
Speaker 1: five shutout innings and then the Dodgers' bullpen. You had
Speaker 1: six different relievers come in to get the last four
Speaker 1: innings for the Dodgers on their way to a four
Speaker 1: to two win. How about Freddie Freeman hitting another home
Speaker 1: running Now he's looking good.
Speaker 3: Good, I saw him running around the bases.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he he went from first to third on a
Speaker 1: base hit last night.
Speaker 3: He was cutting the base, that's what.
Speaker 1: And that one to two pitch that he crushed for
Speaker 1: a home running down the right field line last night
Speaker 1: in the first inning. To go up against the Yankees
Speaker 1: in their first game at home in this series, and
Speaker 1: to take the air out of Yankee Stadium, to take
Speaker 1: the fans out of that game last night, that's the
Speaker 1: start they needed. Yeah, Walker Buehler needed a little two
Speaker 1: O cushion to work with you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Freddie looks like his foundation, his ankle is getting
Speaker 3: much better because her really turned on that pitch and
Speaker 3: just sucked the life right out of the New York crowd. Hey.
Speaker 3: So anyway, you know how we we like to, you know,
Speaker 3: scan things and see what's going on and what people
Speaker 3: are saying. And now there's a blueprint for a comeback.
Speaker 3: They got that figured out too.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, ys a blueprints.
Speaker 3: There's a blueprint for the comeback of the Yankees just
Speaker 3: out there on social media.
Speaker 1: Because say, the number one thing is on this blueprint.
Speaker 3: Well I'm down to number four right now, point number four,
Speaker 3: And I'll show you how outlandish. This is Yeah. Point
Speaker 3: number four is just uh, just pounce on the bullpen. Yeah,
Speaker 3: just pounce the bullpen.
Speaker 1: If if they could do that, wouldn't they've already done that?
Speaker 3: Well I think so. But they just gonna pounce on
Speaker 3: the bullpen. So that's that's that's point number four.
Speaker 1: Are you serious? Can you scroll to the top. What's
Speaker 1: number one? Aaron Judge needs to get gone.
Speaker 3: That's part of it. Yeah, I mean, god, I didn't
Speaker 3: I what a revelation. Didn't you know that?
Speaker 1: Tim Man, the starting pitching needs to go past the
Speaker 1: third inning. Bottom of the lineup needs to contribute more.
Speaker 1: I mean there's five, there's five points right there, jogging
Speaker 1: after ball's in fair territory. I mean, I I don't
Speaker 1: know right hard on the basis. I saw an article
Speaker 1: on Sports Illustrated this morning. I got to pull it
Speaker 1: up real quick, and the Dodgers have won three in
Speaker 1: a row, commanded this series, dominated this series, and the
Speaker 1: whole headline was this here.
Speaker 3: It is right here.
Speaker 1: Yankees potential Game three rally cut short by brutal strikeout call.
Speaker 1: The headline right here on latest news on s side.
Speaker 1: Yankees potential Game three rally cut short by brutal strikeout
Speaker 1: call on That was a strikeout called on Glabor Torres,
Speaker 1: which was a high fastball in the zone and the
Speaker 1: it was against h They.
Speaker 3: Called that pitch now they call it on everybody, and.
Speaker 1: They called it last night. They were saying it wasn't
Speaker 1: even a strike, not evenly. He'd not go around, but
Speaker 1: it should have been a ball, and that took them
Speaker 1: out of the inning. It was a call strike three
Speaker 1: and that ended the Yankees threat and all because that
Speaker 1: one pitch changed everything. That changed the whole trajectory of
Speaker 1: the game and the series. Was that one strikeout to
Speaker 1: Labor Torus.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, well that's it, I guess, so, I mean,
Speaker 3: if you, I mean, I don't think so. I'm being facetious.
Speaker 1: Here's the media openly talking about how a brutal strikeout
Speaker 1: called cost the Yankees a rally. So you're saying, this
Speaker 1: is why they're down three to zero, this is why
Speaker 1: they lost four to two last night because of one
Speaker 1: bad strikeout call last night, inding and inning. How about
Speaker 1: the safety squeeze last night. I can make a case
Speaker 1: that the runner was safe. I can make a case
Speaker 1: that after the review, they still got the call wrong.
Speaker 1: And the Dodger should have been up fourd to enough.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So in all their prescient mindset, what they're gonna
Speaker 3: do is tell you that one call changed everything, because
Speaker 3: I know they would have rallied and everything would have
Speaker 3: fell in. Exactly, there would have been no plays, no Dodger,
Speaker 3: you know, input they just would have been on a
Speaker 3: rally that would have been it. It's like they can
Speaker 3: they can pinpoint a rally going to happen. That's amazing.
Speaker 1: It's like in Scooby Doo the cartoon when the bad
Speaker 1: guy gets caught at the very end and he says,
Speaker 1: I would have gotten away with it. It was it wasn't
Speaker 1: for you darn kids. Exactly, that's what would have happened.
Speaker 1: They would have they would have come back if it
Speaker 1: wasn't for that darn strikeout.
Speaker 3: So Labor's don't really with the Yankees. Are are are
Speaker 3: figuring here is look, we're gonna we're gonna get the
Speaker 3: bullpen Hill, We're going to chance uh to knock this
Speaker 3: down a bit. And then we got Garrett Cole in
Speaker 3: Game five. I think that's what they're really trying to
Speaker 3: do here.
Speaker 1: But last night a Rod and Big Poppy suggested that
Speaker 1: they go to Garrett Cole on three days rest, No,
Speaker 1: and in a must win game four tonight, you go
Speaker 1: to him to try to get a win and get
Speaker 1: to a game five and you just go game to game.
Speaker 1: But you need Garrett Cole tonight. And the only person
Speaker 1: who had actually had a common sense last night on
Speaker 1: that that stage was Derek Jeeter, mister Yankee by the way,
Speaker 1: who's like, you may want that to happen, but that's
Speaker 1: not the smart thing to do.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't have garat Cole out there, probably, and
Speaker 3: it's going to be limited as far as how he
Speaker 3: can go. And no, I don't think so. I think
Speaker 3: I think I think the captain's right on that one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Labor Tourists strikes out in the bottom of the
Speaker 1: seventh inning with runners on first and second, and because
Speaker 1: of that strike three call from Anthony Bonda to end
Speaker 1: the seventh inning, that was the reason why the Yankees
Speaker 1: lost Game three last night was squeaking one call here
Speaker 1: before we take a break from the top of the hour,
Speaker 1: and thank you for being patient, Trevor in Glendale. What's on?
Speaker 1: What's going on?
Speaker 5: Trevor, it's up, guys. First of all, you know, you
Speaker 5: hit the nail on the head. Walker Bueler is an
Speaker 5: absolute dog on the road. I think that's you know,
Speaker 5: that's been the key factor for us. But also, you know,
Speaker 5: we're lucky to have such a you know, team that
Speaker 5: is filled with utility players. I mean Edmund, key k
Speaker 5: you know, Moncy, you know Mookie. You know it's fun
Speaker 5: to watch and you know, to be able to see
Speaker 5: all these players playing, you know, different spots make and plays,
Speaker 5: you know, batting it batting in different spot in the lineups.
Speaker 5: It's it's it's it's really cool to see it. I think,
Speaker 5: you know, it's a it's a it's a new wave
Speaker 5: of baseball that the Yankees aren't really you know, ready
Speaker 5: for us. And you know it's like Garrett Cole pitches.
Speaker 5: I think he's gonna be on short rest, and I think,
Speaker 5: you know, ten ten ten hungry dogs beats a sleeping
Speaker 5: bear every time.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 4: I love it.
Speaker 1: And the dogs in the bullpen are hungry dogs. The Jackals,
Speaker 1: they are hungry dogs down there. And you get those
Speaker 1: guys as my buddy Tom just text me and pointed out,
Speaker 1: if you want to harp on Glabor Torres' strike, three
Speaker 1: call in the seventh inning. Let's go back to the
Speaker 1: third inning. Dodgers had the bases loaded three to one.
Speaker 1: Pitch to will Smith from Lighter, They got a call
Speaker 1: strike two on the outside part of the plate that
Speaker 1: wasn't even closed, and then will Smith grounds out the Indianian.
Speaker 1: They could have walked in a run. He could have
Speaker 1: been a four to nothing Dodgers lead after two and
Speaker 1: a half Indians. What it could have should have? You
Speaker 1: know what I do know? Dodgers won last night four
Speaker 1: to two victory for the good guys, and they've got
Speaker 1: a three to zero series lead in this best of
Speaker 1: seven World Series. One hour down, two to go.
Speaker 3: That was quick.
