Wan's a great driver. Yeah, 31 00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:49.239 Wan from Yamava. He was on arriving, he was, he 32 00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:50.159 was on all over it. 33 00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:52.959 He was great. Yeah, Tim, three to zero, it's a 34 00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:56.120 wonderful place to be. Imagine where we were not too 35 00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:58.560 long ago, when you weren't sleeping well, and you know, 36 00:01:58.599 --> 00:02:00.560 you were really sweating this thing. We got to get 37 00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:03.120 past the Padres. We did that, and then so on 38 00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:05.439 and so forth. So yeah, you know, I think you 39 00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:06.599 were sweating it with the Mets too. 40 00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:07.200 I was. 41 00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:09.199 You kind of sweated it out there with the Mets. 42 00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:09.520 I was. 43 00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:12.240 I mean, I feel like now the Dodgers, really, the 44 00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:15.639 Padres and Mets were tougher challenges than New York Yankees 45 00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:19.120 so far from three games of this SERI trash talking 46 00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:20.680 a little bit. Yeah, I'll go ahead and throw it 47 00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:23.719 out there you're going. I mean, officially, the Dodgers' bullpen 48 00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:26.439 was their strength. The Dodgers offense was their strength going 49 00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:28.120 to this World Series, and all we heard from the 50 00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:31.159 Bronx was how great their starting pitching has been. Once 51 00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:33.599 Aaron Judge gets back to join the John Carlos Stanton, 52 00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:36.080 this offense was gonna get going and it was going 53 00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:38.759 to be a fierce battle in New York versus Los Angeles. 54 00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:41.719 It's been anything but that. Outside Garrett Cole in Game 55 00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:44.479 one pitching really well, yeah what he got. The Yankees 56 00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:46.919 have done nothing on the mound. They're starting pitching has 57 00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:49.800 been absolutely outpitched by the Dodgers. The bullpen for the 58 00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:53.080 Dodgers has been tremendously better than the Yankees bullpen. And 59 00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:56.000 Aaron Judge has still not shown up in this world. 60 00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:59.240 There's an mia. Has anybody seen Aaron Judge. It's hard 61 00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:02.360 to miss. I mean, there's milk cartons across America, his 62 00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:05.039 name on there in face exactly. Wow, that's he has 63 00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:09.000 disappeared in October. Yeah, he's well, he's he's trying hard. 64 00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:13.400 And look look there's there's everybody in the world telling 65 00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:15.439 Aaron Judge what he's doing wrong. So I'm not gonna 66 00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:17.479 come on here and say, oh, I got to figure 67 00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:18.599 it out. I know what he's doing. 68 00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:20.639 I can't do that because I don't want to be 69 00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:23.439 that person, you know, like oh when I played yeah right, 70 00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:26.280 nobody nobody cares. All right, been there and done that. 71 00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:29.159 That move on. Somebody's wearing your number now, just kind 72 00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:31.919 of going. So I never got into that, but I 73 00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:33.240 can tell you what he's doing. 74 00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:34.479 What is he doing though? 75 00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:37.560 No, oh no, he's he's hearing it from everybody. But 76 00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:38.120 but he's. 77 00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:39.639 Hearing it from the fans and the talk show host 78 00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:43.000 in New York. Boy, what's what's some of the the 79 00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:45.759 stuff that you're getting from that? They they yesterday had 80 00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:47.639 a whole thing about when he comes up for his 81 00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:51.039 first at Battie Incing Stadium. They were gonna all rise 82 00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:54.199 for Aaron Judge and give him a standing ovation to 83 00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:57.280 kind of motivate him to get him going here in 84 00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:00.960 the World Series. And it didn't work in his first 85 00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:04.080 at bat. Okay, and ever since that first at bat 86 00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:07.080 there was just a deflation inside Yankee Stadium. They fell 87 00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:11.639 behind early to nothing. Aaron Judge has been absolutely non 88 00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:14.400 existent in this world series and Yankee fans pointing the 89 00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:17.480 finger at him. Where has he been if he shows up? 90 00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:20.040 This is a different series. It's all Aaron Judges fault. 91 00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:21.600 Oh yeah, it's not. Well, first of all, it's not 92 00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:24.639 all Aaron Judges fault. I mean the Dodger pitches are 93 00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:28.279 You're exactly right. They're doing some shoving right And the 94 00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:30.800 big question mark coming into this series is what's the 95 00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:33.199 starting pitching going to be like for the Dodgers. I mean, 96 00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:35.360 they can't match up, not as good as the Yankee 97 00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:37.720 of course not. But look what's happened. It's been a 98 00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:40.519 strong point for the Dodgers and Walker Buehler in particular 99 00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:45.199 last night was just absolutely nails. Tim. How much has that? 100 00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:47.360 Is that a Navidia stock right now that we're looking at. 101 00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:49.319 I mean, that thing is just going to the rocket. 102 00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:51.600 This is going to the moon, right it is? You know, 103 00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:53.720 I tell you what. There's gonna be some teams out 104 00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:56.000 there that think they can get the speaking about rocket 105 00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:00.439 the rocket deal on. You know, Buehler because he's healthy, 106 00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:03.920 he's obviously got his schwag back, and he's doing it 107 00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:06.639 in big time in postseason. There's some teams out there 108 00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:09.240 thinking Hey, I got some shekels laying around here. Why 109 00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:11.879 not throw it at Walker Bueller and let him get 110 00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:13.879 us over the top. He's proved he can do it 111 00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:14.920 when it's crunch time. 112 00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:17.639 He was fantastic last night, five shutout innings. We have 113 00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:20.720 a full show today between now and nine am. Plenty 114 00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:23.199 of time for your phone calls.

We'll 123 00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:49.680 get into that. We'll look ahead to Game four tonight 124 00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:52.199 as the Dodgers will have a bullpen game and apostle 125 00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:55.680 close out scenario for the Dodgers up three games to nothing. 126 00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:57.600 So we got a lot to get to this morning, 127 00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:01.720 including your phone calls.

Saxy, Remember that parade? How was 133 00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:23.319 that parade for you? Guys? 134 00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:27.360 That magical? Absolutely magical. The only thing about it is 135 00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:30.560 everybody was sick on the team. What Yeah, everybody got sick. 136 00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:33.120 You know, when you let your defenses down after that 137 00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:35.800 whole year and then the playoffs beating the Mets, and 138 00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:37.879 then you go into the World Series. You know, everybody's 139 00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:40.319 got all their defenses up. Naturally, it's so a lot 140 00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:43.199 of stress going on. So what happens is you let 141 00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:45.680 your defenses down, a couple guys get sick. Pretty soon 142 00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:48.120 the whole team's sick. Everybody on the parade was sick. 143 00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:50.639 But it was worth it, of course. 144 00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:54.480 Do you remember that day? The parade, the podium celebration 145 00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:57.480 and getting up there and hearing everybody speak, He is 146 00:06:57.519 --> 00:06:59.120 it pretty pretty clear? Your mind? 147 00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:01.839 That day was very clear. Mike Davis and I were, 148 00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:05.439 you know, being stupid fools of ourselves up there just 149 00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:08.319 saying everything, having a good time. But they'll tell you what, 150 00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:10.759 it's just such a great thing. You know, your family's there, 151 00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:13.560 and you know, my kids were small and so they 152 00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:16.079 were they were enjoying the parade and it was it 153 00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:19.360 was just amazing and there's nothing like it. There's just 154 00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:21.480 nothing like being in a parade. Just think about it. 155 00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:24.720 I mean, if you're just like a boxer, you only 156 00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:27.279 celebrate it with yourself, if you're a swimmer, you know, 157 00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:30.199 something like that. But when you're on a team sport 158 00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:33.040 like this, you get to celebrate it with all of 159 00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:36.040 your teammates. It's there's nothing like being on a team. 160 00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:38.240 I just think it's the greatest thing ever and that's 161 00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:38.959 what you get to do. 162 00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:42.199 Well. The Dodgers are one win away from celebrating a 163 00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:46.240 World Series championship. Tonight could be that closeout game game 164 00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:50.040 for a bullpen game for the Dodgers. We'll have first 165 00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:53.399 pitch coming up at five oh eight. Well Morongo, Causino 166 00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:56.199 Dodgers on deck. Get it all started with our coverage 167 00:07:56.439 --> 00:08:00.360 at four o'clock this afternoon. Walker Buller last night five 168 00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:03.839 shutout innings. He allowed two hits, and those hits didn't 169 00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:07.079 come until the fourth inning, struck out five. 170 00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:07.720 Along the way. 171 00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:11.720 In three World Series starts now all game threes twenty 172 00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:15.560 eighteen against the Red Sox, twenty twenty against the Tampa 173 00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:18.360 Bay Rays, and last night against the New York Yankees, 174 00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:23.639 he has allowed one earn run in eighteen combined innings. 175 00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:28.079 That is a sub one Erra. Last night, Saxy Walker 176 00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:33.840 Buehler was a complete pitcher twenty twenty, twenty eighteen, Walker 177 00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:36.279 Buehler was a chucker. Walker Buehler was a guy who 178 00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:38.879 can pump ninety eight to one hundred, and then his 179 00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:42.159 off speed stuff just had you on roller skates inside 180 00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:45.480 the box last night though, and he even admitted it. Fastball, 181 00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:48.600 the four seam ninety six to ninety seven. Nice, but 182 00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:50.720 when you mix in the sweeper, the cutter, and that 183 00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:53.840 nasty over the top curveball that he had. He was 184 00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:58.399 fantastic last night, working all quadrants of the play. Absolutely fantastic. 185 00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:02.399 Yeah, you nailed it, Tim, next subject, No, No, he did. 186 00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:05.639 He nailed everything. What you said, changing the the the 187 00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:08.320 level of the the eye for the hitter with that big, 188 00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:10.879 bust in curveball he's pitching in and out, Like you said, 189 00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:12.840 all four quadrants. You got to do that to keep 190 00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:15.679 the hitter honest and Walker Bueller, his gout is in 191 00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:18.639 that phase right now. He's in that zone where we 192 00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:21.799 saw the best of people like I'll say the names 193 00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:25.879 like Clayton Kershaw and we saw Max Scherzer, the guys 194 00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:29.360 that have overpowering stuff and can go get another level 195 00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:32.559 when they needed it. A couple it with the secondary stuff, 196 00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:36.320 the bulldog mentality and the the ability to locate the 197 00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:39.960 fastball that is that is the biggest thing in his arsenal. 198 00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:42.600 Locating the fastball sets everything else up. 199 00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:45.039 And he had that fastball last night, or he was 200 00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:47.759 hitting his spots and he didn't have command of his 201 00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:50.559 off speed pitches because he wasn't getting the swing and missus. 202 00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:53.639 He wasn't getting the chases from the Yankee players. They 203 00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:55.879 were more disciplined last night in Game three than the 204 00:09:55.919 --> 00:09:57.679 first two games of this series. And they've had a 205 00:09:57.759 --> 00:10:00.480 chance to see him absolutely and so there isn't an 206 00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:03.360 opportunity for him to get a lot of you know, 207 00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:06.320 chases outside the zone. So he was nibbling a little 208 00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:08.519 bit with his osby pitches and they weren't chasing those, 209 00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:11.879 and so he was falling behind one oh, two to one, 210 00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:14.639 three to one, three to two in the game, there 211 00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:17.200 was a lot of pitches that were going deep. 212 00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:19.559 That's not good. But see that's how good Walker is, 213 00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:22.919 even though he gets it behind some hitters. Strike one 214 00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:25.519 is so important. Check out the splits. When you have 215 00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:27.679 a strike one versus a one to OHO for the hitter, 216 00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:30.200 it's just a it's a chasm between the two. It's 217 00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:33.600 just gigantic. But when he started to get some momentum 218 00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:36.480 more in the third inning, fourth inning, he started getting 219 00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:38.159 ahead of hitters. When he does that, you're not going 220 00:10:38.200 --> 00:10:40.080 to hit hit him. He's just got too good of stuff. 221 00:10:40.159 --> 00:10:42.679 He was fantastic for the first two inning's not giving 222 00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:44.080 up a hit, didn't give up a hit in the 223 00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:46.399 third and the fourth thing, and the Yankee starting to 224 00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:48.480 mount a little bit of a rally. Gen Carlo Stanton 225 00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:51.519 with the leadoff double, a great catch by Mookie Betts 226 00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:54.919 on a low liner to right field to prevent an 227 00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:58.440 RBI single, and then with two louds you had Anthony 228 00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:00.879 Volpi hit a base hit to the left, Oscar Hernanda 229 00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:05.039 his guns down, gian Carlos Stanton, who saxy I'm convinced 230 00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:07.919 I probably could have beat him home running from second 231 00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:11.360 to home. What is he doing? Where is the hustle 232 00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:12.679 on his team? 233 00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:17.559 I mean we saw it with a with Soto in 234 00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:20.960 right field, jogging gallivant and to a pop up and 235 00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:23.879 off in foul territory where he said is will get it. 236 00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:26.720 He gets them all. Anyway, as an outfielder, you gotta 237 00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:29.720 be busting your backside, and you got to be in 238 00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:32.080 commander that the balls in front of you. One thing 239 00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:34.559 right there and then and then the the non hustle 240 00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:37.279 was standing. When he came around third, I thought he's 241 00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:39.320 got something on his mind. He was in slow motion. 242 00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:41.360 I don't get it. 243 00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:44.039 He felt like he was going half speed, like he 244 00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:45.720 was just going to trot around like a ball in 245 00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:49.639 the gap watching a great throw from Oscar. 246 00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:52.559 Now throw, I mean one of that was just the 247 00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:55.360 defense for the Dodgers. How about the stops that Tommy 248 00:11:55.480 --> 00:11:59.000 Edmonds mid making a shortstop to prevent the run. You 249 00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:01.960 talked about the play Mookie Bets made in right field. 250 00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:04.720 Couple of them he's made now like that. The defense 251 00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:08.120 has been absolutely phenomenal for the Dodgers. And that fourth 252 00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:10.480 inning and the catch you mentioned Mookie Betts was great. 253 00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:13.279 It saved a base hit and gen Carlos Stanton scoring, 254 00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:16.039 and then tay Oscar Hernandez absolutely thrown. 255 00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:18.600 A dart ninety three miles per hour. Was that throw 256 00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:20.519 anywhere else he was safe? 257 00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:23.559 Yeah? Anywhere else? I mean six inches either way, he's safe. 258 00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:25.000 But I want to give a shout out to right 259 00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:28.440 now to how about the play at third base again 260 00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:31.679 by Munsie making those plays of coming in the high chopper, 261 00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:33.960 to do or die in the sweep with the glove 262 00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:35.720 and to throw in the same motion of first base 263 00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:38.840 a dart over to Freddie Freeman not an easy play, 264 00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:40.320 and munths he's making it with ease. 265 00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:42.279 I love that you bringing that up because it just 266 00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:45.320 goes as another whole hum play in the box score. 267 00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:46.879 And for fans they're like, oh, that's just a don't 268 00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:48.600 take it for granted now, they're just supposed to make. 269 00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:48.799 No. 270 00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:51.840 I'll tell you what. Munsey is underrated on defense. I mean, 271 00:12:51.879 --> 00:12:54.360 he's not the fastest guy in the world. His feet 272 00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:56.720 aren't the quickest. It's the one step at third base 273 00:12:56.759 --> 00:12:59.480 is the most important thing. But Monsey gets it done, 274 00:12:59.559 --> 00:13:01.120 and he's got a very accurate arm. 275 00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:04.120 Dodgers defense picking up Walker Buller in their fourth inning 276 00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:07.480 last night, he went five shut out against the Yankees 277 00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:10.840 to get to win five punch outs over five innings 278 00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:13.759 seventy six pitches. Let's hear from Walker Buller post game 279 00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:15.600 last night after his great performance. 280 00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:18.320 Walker, you talked about late in the season that you 281 00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:20.440 didn't know at the time if you had the stuff 282 00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:22.879 to get guys out. Seeing what you've been able to 283 00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:25.159 do over the last two starts, what do you feel 284 00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:26.639 like you've been able to find? 285 00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:29.159 You know, I think. 286 00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:33.279 As kind of brutal as this to say, like it 287 00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:35.519 takes that adrenaline and that stuff to kind of really 288 00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:39.399 get me going kind of mentally. And you know, I 289 00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:41.559 don't know if I I wish I would have felt 290 00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:43.320 that all year. I could tell you I'm so excited 291 00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:45.279 to pitch every single game I've ever gone out there. 292 00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:47.919 But there is something different in the playoffs, and I 293 00:13:47.919 --> 00:13:50.759 think at least long term for me, like to get 294 00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:53.240 through this playoffs at least in the way that I have, 295 00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:57.440 like because it's really encouraging for me personally just because 296 00:13:57.440 --> 00:13:58.799 I know it's in there and I just kind of 297 00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:03.759 got to unlock it a litle little bit, But that 298 00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:07.120 that feeling of there's an organization relying on me today 299 00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:09.720 to win a playoff game, I think is kind of 300 00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:11.799 the weight that I like feeling and and kind of 301 00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:14.840 gets me in a certain place mentally. That that it's 302 00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:15.840 kind of hard to replicate. 303 00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:17.759 Stay in the fourth run your left. 304 00:14:17.559 --> 00:14:19.799 Walker, what's the feeling being one game away from a 305 00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:22.639 World Series Championship. I'm excited to watch our guys go 306 00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:24.320 tomorrow and and see what happened. 307 00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:26.799 So tremendous movie. 308 00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:28.440 You know, I'll be ready if there's a game seven, 309 00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:30.960 but my hope is that I don't have to throw anymore. 310 00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:35.080 Walker, you had some pretty good outfield defense behind you tonight. 311 00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:37.000 What did you see on first on the on the 312 00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:40.000 Mookie play and then on on the Taoskar play in 313 00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:42.840 that fourth inning? Yeah, you know, the Mookie Mookie play 314 00:14:42.919 --> 00:14:45.480 was interesting. He kind of obviously the ball is spinning 315 00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:47.120 a little weird and and kind of set back for 316 00:14:47.159 --> 00:14:49.840 a second and made the play. He's won a few 317 00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:52.000 goal gloves out there, so that that's something we kind 318 00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:55.600 of expect for him, and and you know, Tayo through 319 00:14:55.799 --> 00:14:57.960 through stanting out at home and I've gotten the dugout 320 00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:00.279 and I said, they don't know about you in New York. 321 00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:02.840 You know, you think they would remember what he did 322 00:15:02.919 --> 00:15:04.440 when we played here in the regular season. 323 00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:07.320 And you know, pretty. 324 00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:08.679 Cool for him to show off, you know, the other 325 00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:11.000 side of the ball and kind of put a perfect 326 00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:14.480 throw and will put the tag on. So, yeah, that 327 00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:17.039 was a big momentum play. I think obviously the first 328 00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:19.440 couple of innings, I was kind of going going pretty smooth, 329 00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:21.919 and for them to get a little momentum and I 330 00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:23.919 shut it down that way, it was was pretty cool. 331 00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:27.480 There is Walker Bueler last night after his five shutout innings, 332 00:15:27.559 --> 00:15:30.519 and the first thing he said sexy. He loves October. 333 00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:33.240 The adrenaline. He gets up for it a little bit 334 00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:35.960 more than the regular season. And that's why you see 335 00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:38.960 his game elevate to the level that he's at right now. 336 00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:41.320 And this is why I think whoever he signs in 337 00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:43.120 the in the post and in the free agency in 338 00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:46.559 this next offseason, hopefully here he signs with the Dodgers. Yeah, uh, 339 00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:48.960 this is a guy that you know, hey, over the 340 00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:50.960 course of one sixty two, he's gonna be there for 341 00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:55.360 you when healthy. But come October, if you're a playoff contender. Man, 342 00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:57.480 you've got a horse, now, yeah, you've got a horse. 343 00:15:57.480 --> 00:15:58.000 Frock to him. 344 00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:00.240 You know what, I'll tell you what with everything that's 345 00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:01.639 happened to him, But first of all, I hope he 346 00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:04.879 signs here with the Dodgers. There's so much left in 347 00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:07.360 there and he said that in his postgame in thirty Yeah, 348 00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:09.639 there's a lot left in there. I mean, not a 349 00:16:09.639 --> 00:16:12.519 lot of wear on that rebuilt arm as well. He's 350 00:16:12.559 --> 00:16:15.480 got a new lease on that. And I just think 351 00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:19.159 that that with his attitude where he is, the way 352 00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:21.919 that he's matured into this spot right now where he 353 00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:25.200 can do a combination of great stuff and pitchability and 354 00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:27.600 all that he's been through. He's had to go through 355 00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:29.559 a lot of things that he had to be fixed 356 00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:31.919 in his life, and he's done that. This guy's primed 357 00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:35.039 right now to have the best five years of his career. 358 00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:36.960 And you know what, I hope the Dodgers signed him 359 00:16:36.960 --> 00:16:38.720 because I think he's going to be a gift for 360 00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:39.159 the team. 361 00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:42.879 The Dodgers have dominated the New York Yankees through the 362 00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:46.840 first three games of this World Series, outscoring them, out 363 00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:50.679 hustling them, out playing them on defense, and out pitching them. 364 00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:55.120 The Dodgers starting pitchers three games so far combined sixteen 365 00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:58.840 and two third innings, a one point six to two er, 366 00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:03.919 compared to the Yankees starting pitching twelve innings combined and 367 00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:09.599 an eer of six saxy.
