00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Now your host for playoff Dodger Toss sound Off Angelinos

2
00:00:04.599 --> 00:00:05.559
<v Speaker 1>David Vasse.

3
00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:15.039
<v Speaker 2>We are live at Peco Park in San Diego after

4
00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:18.960
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers force a Game five in the NLDS with

5
00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:24.480
<v Speaker 2>an eight nothing shutout victory over the San Diego Padres.

6
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:28.879
<v Speaker 2>David Vase live in San Diego, taking your phone calls

7
00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:32.759
<v Speaker 2>until eleven o'clock and we do have phone lines open

8
00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:36.520
<v Speaker 2>at eight six six nine, eight seven two five seventy.

9
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:39.079
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not a guy that likes to say I

10
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:42.640
<v Speaker 2>told you so, but I did tell you so at

11
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:45.280
<v Speaker 2>the beginning of this series. This was going to be

12
00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:50.640
<v Speaker 2>a five game battle between the Dodgers and Padres, the

13
00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:53.920
<v Speaker 2>hottest team since the All Star Break against the team

14
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:56.840
<v Speaker 2>that has a lot of talent and had the best

15
00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:59.640
<v Speaker 2>record in all of Major League Baseball for the full

16
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:03.439
<v Speaker 2>regular season. And I did tell you that this team

17
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:08.280
<v Speaker 2>had more fight and resolve than any of the last

18
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:12.280
<v Speaker 2>two Dodger teams. And they proved it tonight. And I

19
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:16.239
<v Speaker 2>love Gavin Lux letting us in on the Dodgers having

20
00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:20.319
<v Speaker 2>a text thread where they were encouraging each other last

21
00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:23.680
<v Speaker 2>night to not show up to the ballpark and lay down.

22
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:26.560
<v Speaker 2>They did not lay down tonight, and I love that

23
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:29.719
<v Speaker 2>Mookie Betts has made a statement to all the critics

24
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:33.480
<v Speaker 2>coming up with another big home run in the first

25
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:37.400
<v Speaker 2>inning that was huge for the Dodgers, and even bigger

26
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:40.319
<v Speaker 2>for the Dodgers was that they tacked on runs in

27
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:43.640
<v Speaker 2>the second and third innings. Will Smith, who came into

28
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:46.719
<v Speaker 2>the game tonight without a hit in the NLDS, hit

29
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:49.799
<v Speaker 2>a big two run home run in the third inning.

30
00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:53.560
<v Speaker 2>So the Dodgers had a five to nothing lead after

31
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:57.519
<v Speaker 2>three innings tonight. It's a lot easier to navigate the

32
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:00.920
<v Speaker 2>script of a bullpen game when you're playing with a

33
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:04.719
<v Speaker 2>five run lead that early in the game. It could

34
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:08.639
<v Speaker 2>not have gone better to script for the Dodgers than

35
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:12.560
<v Speaker 2>to have a five nothing lead after three innings for

36
00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:17.000
<v Speaker 2>Dave Roberts to deploy his eight relievers. And he was

37
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:21.280
<v Speaker 2>deploying his high leverage relievers as he promised early in

38
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:24.560
<v Speaker 2>the game. From Ryan Brazier, who not only opened the

39
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:27.000
<v Speaker 2>game but came back out for the second inning to

40
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:30.759
<v Speaker 2>get an out, to Anthony Bonda, to Michael Kopek, to

41
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:35.199
<v Speaker 2>Alex Vesia, who almost pitched two innings tonight. Evan Phillips

42
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:39.120
<v Speaker 2>came in Daniel Hudson, Blake Trinin, and Landon Nack. So

43
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:43.439
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers were able to navigate a bullpen game with

44
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:46.120
<v Speaker 2>a five to nothing early lead, and they go on

45
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:49.639
<v Speaker 2>to beat the Padres in Game four of the NLDS

46
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:53.039
<v Speaker 2>by a final score of eight to nothing. And I

47
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:56.560
<v Speaker 2>know on Twitter everybody was freaking out that I was

48
00:02:56.680 --> 00:03:00.479
<v Speaker 2>jinxing the Dodgers after the second inning and having that

49
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:03.240
<v Speaker 2>type of leader after that third inning and having that lead,

50
00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:05.879
<v Speaker 2>you had a five to nothing lead, you saw the

51
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:08.840
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers the way they came out to play. I was

52
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:12.520
<v Speaker 2>very confident, and that's the reason why I said and

53
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:15.840
<v Speaker 2>offered advice to any Padre fans that hey, if you

54
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:18.319
<v Speaker 2>want to come back to La, the surf liner is

55
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:21.719
<v Speaker 2>a very convenient way to do so. The only inning

56
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:25.759
<v Speaker 2>that I thought was maybe going to change the momentum

57
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:27.960
<v Speaker 2>of this game was in the fifth inning when Alex

58
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:31.199
<v Speaker 2>Vesia came back out for a second inning of work

59
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:34.280
<v Speaker 2>and couldn't get the two lefties to start that inning.

60
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:37.919
<v Speaker 2>Evan Phillips came in. He had to get Fernando Tattis

61
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:40.719
<v Speaker 2>Junior out with two men on and two out, and

62
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:44.199
<v Speaker 2>he was able to do so. Vessia also, to his credit,

63
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:47.000
<v Speaker 2>was able to get Luisa Rise to fly out to

64
00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:50.240
<v Speaker 2>left field, so that helped out as well. After that

65
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:53.719
<v Speaker 2>fifth inning, I'd never felt the Padres had another threat

66
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:56.120
<v Speaker 2>the rest of the game, and all of a sudden

67
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:59.680
<v Speaker 2>now since the second inning of last night, the Dodgers

68
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:03.719
<v Speaker 2>now have shut down this Padres offense for the last

69
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:08.120
<v Speaker 2>fifteen innings. Eight six, six, nine, eight seven two five

70
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:11.199
<v Speaker 2>seventy is the phone number. Let's head downstairs right now

71
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:13.120
<v Speaker 2>to hear from manager Dave Roberts.

72
00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:15.479
<v Speaker 3>Hey, Dave, do you have a game five starter yet?

73
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:20.839
<v Speaker 4>No, we don't, you know. Fortunately, tonight we were very

74
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:24.920
<v Speaker 4>efficient as far as our pen, which was great, So

75
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:27.720
<v Speaker 4>we've got some options. I think that, you know, we

76
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:31.040
<v Speaker 4>could run the same playbook back and run a bullpen game.

77
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:35.800
<v Speaker 4>We can start Jack, we could start Yoshinobu. So I

78
00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:38.319
<v Speaker 4>think that tomorrow we've got to work out from four

79
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:39.879
<v Speaker 4>to six and it'll give us a chance to kind

80
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:42.319
<v Speaker 4>of talk to the reliever and see everybody's feeling. But

81
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:44.600
<v Speaker 4>right now, no game five starter.

82
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:46.959
<v Speaker 3>I mean, given how well the bullpen pitched today and

83
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:50.000
<v Speaker 3>given how much they've hit your starters, is the bullpen game?

84
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:51.240
<v Speaker 3>You think kind of the favorite.

85
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:54.160
<v Speaker 4>Well it's a good thought, I mean obviously clearly, but

86
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:57.160
<v Speaker 4>you know, just kind of knowing their efficient, but also

87
00:04:57.360 --> 00:04:58.920
<v Speaker 4>just checking in on those guys to see how they

88
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:01.319
<v Speaker 4>feel tomorrow. It was kind of the thing we want

89
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:02.839
<v Speaker 4>to make sure before I make a decision.

90
00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:05.720
<v Speaker 3>And the efficiency obviously not just in terms of helping

91
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:07.560
<v Speaker 3>you out for game five, but the way it kind

92
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:09.360
<v Speaker 3>of helped you run these innings right, I mean, Bessie,

93
00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:12.319
<v Speaker 3>I got through the fourth really quick, and guessing that

94
00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:15.160
<v Speaker 3>helped them get out for right the next inning, I

95
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:19.279
<v Speaker 3>think like Phillips Hudson through nine ten pitches. How did

96
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:19.920
<v Speaker 3>that kind of help?

97
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:22.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it helped. I mean I think that overall the

98
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:26.399
<v Speaker 4>guys were efficient understanding that you know they're gonna have

99
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:30.480
<v Speaker 4>to do updowns go a little bit longer potentially, So

100
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:33.319
<v Speaker 4>the efficiency efficiency the strike throne was huge, and again

101
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:34.800
<v Speaker 4>it just gives us options for game five.

102
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:37.000
<v Speaker 3>Did you have any thoughts of staying away from trying

103
00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:38.680
<v Speaker 3>and after the game kind of opened up this.

104
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:41.399
<v Speaker 4>No, No, I didn't. He hadn't pitched three days. It

105
00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:42.959
<v Speaker 4>was the top of the order, and you know, when

106
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:45.519
<v Speaker 4>you're in an elimination game, you know I wanted to

107
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:47.040
<v Speaker 4>shorten the game. And it was good to see Land

108
00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:48.680
<v Speaker 4>and Takedown in inning, which was very helpful.

109
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:50.720
<v Speaker 3>You know, I know, before Ohtany got here, right, you

110
00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:52.000
<v Speaker 3>used to like to say a lot you know, his

111
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:55.680
<v Speaker 3>Mookie goes to Dodger goods go how big has he been?

112
00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:57.079
<v Speaker 3>You know, the last two days here.

113
00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:00.560
<v Speaker 4>Because Mookie, Mookie has been big. Obviously, we got a

114
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:03.519
<v Speaker 4>lot of good players, but it's not on one player, clearly,

115
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:06.959
<v Speaker 4>and today Mookie shine. Last night Mookie shined, and today

116
00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:09.360
<v Speaker 4>Will had a big hit. So that's a great thing

117
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:12.120
<v Speaker 4>about having good players, and you know, they don't need

118
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:13.959
<v Speaker 4>to do anything more than they're capable of and just

119
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:16.959
<v Speaker 4>kind of do what their potential, their their abilities allow for.

120
00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:18.079
<v Speaker 4>And that's what they did tonight.

121
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:21.959
<v Speaker 2>All Right, there's manager Dave Roberts after the Dodgers force

122
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:26.600
<v Speaker 2>a game five using eight different pitchers in a bullpen game.

123
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:30.360
<v Speaker 2>And do you hear that? Yeah, those are the critics

124
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:33.439
<v Speaker 2>that are quiet tonight after the way Mookie Bets played

125
00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:38.079
<v Speaker 2>last night and tonight. Mookie Bets deserves as much credit

126
00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:41.319
<v Speaker 2>as he got criticism for the first two games of

127
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:43.720
<v Speaker 2>the series. With the way he has played in the

128
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:47.319
<v Speaker 2>last two games of this series, and I'm glad. Dave

129
00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:50.639
<v Speaker 2>Roberts said he had not made a decision for a

130
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:56.000
<v Speaker 2>Game five starting pitcher Yoshi Yamamoto. He's a great young pitcher,

131
00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:59.480
<v Speaker 2>only twenty five years old. He has pitched in big

132
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:04.160
<v Speaker 2>games on the international stage. But for me, I would

133
00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:08.240
<v Speaker 2>love to have a veteran Major League starter pitching for

134
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:12.720
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers in Game five. Also, the Padres have seen

135
00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:16.519
<v Speaker 2>Yamamoto a lot this year, and they haven't missed in

136
00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:20.920
<v Speaker 2>two regular season games plus Game one of the NLDS

137
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:25.000
<v Speaker 2>where Yamamoto was knocked out after three innings. The Padres

138
00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:29.240
<v Speaker 2>and nine innings of work from Yamamoto, have scored thirteen

139
00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:33.480
<v Speaker 2>runs against him. They have thirteen hits and three home runs.

140
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:37.959
<v Speaker 2>Yamamoto only has nine strikeouts and four walks. I'll say

141
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:42.800
<v Speaker 2>that again, Yamamoto against the Padres nine innings of work

142
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:47.319
<v Speaker 2>in three games started, he has given up thirteen earned runs.

143
00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:51.079
<v Speaker 2>I would love to see the Dodgers hold Yamamoto back

144
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:55.000
<v Speaker 2>for a Game one of the NLCS and throw Jack

145
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:59.839
<v Speaker 2>Flaherty against the Padres in Game five for those reasons.

146
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:05.040
<v Speaker 2>For whatever reason, the Padres see Yamamoto really well, and

147
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:09.240
<v Speaker 2>he's twenty five years old. He hasn't been on this stage,

148
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:12.920
<v Speaker 2>and maybe it is a better matchup for him to

149
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:16.079
<v Speaker 2>start Game one of the NLCS against the Mets. And

150
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:18.120
<v Speaker 2>you might say, well, who knows if there is a

151
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:22.319
<v Speaker 2>Game one of the NLCS. Well, quite honestly, I don't

152
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:25.959
<v Speaker 2>want to see Yamamoto face the Padres again. I don't

153
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:28.120
<v Speaker 2>feel like he gives you the best chance to win

154
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:31.399
<v Speaker 2>in a Game five winner take all to advance to

155
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:35.600
<v Speaker 2>play the New York Mets, who eliminated the Phillies tonight

156
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:39.360
<v Speaker 2>in the NLDS of their Dream season. Eight six six

157
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:42.279
<v Speaker 2>nine eighty seven, two five seventy is the phone number.

158
00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:48.240
<v Speaker 2>Let's start out in downtown with Manny. You're on Dodger Talk. Hi, Manny, Hey.

159
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:52.000
<v Speaker 5>David, what's going on? What a difference one awesome game

160
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:55.639
<v Speaker 5>makes and changes the way everyone's feeling now? And here

161
00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:58.919
<v Speaker 5>we go, We're going into Game five on Friday. Something

162
00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:00.440
<v Speaker 5>I wanted to bring up on it aga a shout

163
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:03.720
<v Speaker 5>out to the entire bullpen. They stuck together and they

164
00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:08.279
<v Speaker 5>really really pretty much broke down the Padres hitters. They

165
00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:10.799
<v Speaker 5>look lifeless out there, no energy. It just seems like

166
00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:12.480
<v Speaker 5>the momentum has completely shifted.

167
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:13.799
<v Speaker 6>We got the guys.

168
00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:15.559
<v Speaker 5>I feel like the Dodgers took this one a little

169
00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:17.559
<v Speaker 5>bit personal. With everything that's been going on, with the

170
00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:20.159
<v Speaker 5>fans getting involved, I felt like they had to take

171
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:23.559
<v Speaker 5>over the whole situation of what's been happening and what

172
00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:25.879
<v Speaker 5>I feel like Padres have been trying to, you know,

173
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:28.360
<v Speaker 5>control the whole story.

174
00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:30.919
<v Speaker 2>But here we go with guys, Manny. They don't want

175
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:34.360
<v Speaker 2>to lose. To these guys. That's the statement they made,

176
00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:38.000
<v Speaker 2>not to you, not to me, but to themselves and

177
00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:41.000
<v Speaker 2>to that other dugout. That's what it comes down to.

178
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:44.639
<v Speaker 2>Neither one of these teams at this point like each other,

179
00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:48.120
<v Speaker 2>and neither one really wants to go home because of

180
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:51.679
<v Speaker 2>the other team. And that's especially the Dodgers. That's happened

181
00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:55.039
<v Speaker 2>once already. They don't want it to happen again. Thanks

182
00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:57.759
<v Speaker 2>for the phone call, Manny, and their superstars don't want

183
00:09:57.799 --> 00:10:01.159
<v Speaker 2>it to happen. You saw the fire in Ota when

184
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:03.120
<v Speaker 2>he drove in a run in the second inning. You

185
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:05.960
<v Speaker 2>saw the fire of Mookie Beds after his home run.

186
00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:09.720
<v Speaker 2>This entire team was accountable to each other, and they

187
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:13.480
<v Speaker 2>planted their feet and stood firm tonight in a hostile

188
00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:16.879
<v Speaker 2>environment and forced a game five, and it was great

189
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:20.200
<v Speaker 2>to see keyk Hernandez in the starting lineup. There's an

190
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:23.279
<v Speaker 2>air of confidence with him in the starting lineup, and

191
00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:26.279
<v Speaker 2>I could tell you before the game, staff and coaches

192
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:29.279
<v Speaker 2>were really excited that he was in the starting lineup tonight.

193
00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:34.039
<v Speaker 2>And here's Key k Hernandez on sports at La Muki.

194
00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:36.279
<v Speaker 7>I think we talked about earlier how important it was

195
00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:39.840
<v Speaker 7>for us to go to lead early. Moki did just that.

196
00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:44.600
<v Speaker 7>Brasier's first inning one two three was huge. I felt

197
00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:48.360
<v Speaker 7>like the moment was sustain on our side. Second inning,

198
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:51.759
<v Speaker 7>you know, being able to rally against against season, getting

199
00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:55.519
<v Speaker 7>him out of the game early was incredibly huge. Being

200
00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:57.159
<v Speaker 7>able to add on two more runs in the second

201
00:10:57.159 --> 00:10:59.320
<v Speaker 7>inning and get a three run lead pretty much what

202
00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:03.240
<v Speaker 7>they did both games at our place, uh, was was huge.

203
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:05.039
<v Speaker 7>In the bullpen again, another shut down inning in the

204
00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:06.559
<v Speaker 7>second inning, and then the third inning we were able

205
00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:08.799
<v Speaker 7>to add two more and then another shut down inning,

206
00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:10.000
<v Speaker 7>and from there on it kind of felt like the

207
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:12.480
<v Speaker 7>bullpen took took over, and uh you know, we were

208
00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:14.919
<v Speaker 7>able to keep adding adding on some runs, especially late

209
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:18.039
<v Speaker 7>in the game, and uh you know, we had a

210
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:19.080
<v Speaker 7>we had a very complete game.

211
00:11:19.080 --> 00:11:19.720
<v Speaker 3>As an offense.

212
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:23.840
<v Speaker 7>Uh, anywhere from you know, rallying, going station in the station, walking,

213
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:27.320
<v Speaker 7>slugging and even you know, even bunning bunting a run in.

214
00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:30.840
<v Speaker 7>Uh that was that was huge. But uh, all the

215
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:33.000
<v Speaker 7>credit tonight, all the credits should go to our bullpen

216
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:35.000
<v Speaker 7>because they changed the game.

217
00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:36.600
<v Speaker 6>We would say about you guys that are just sort

218
00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:39.399
<v Speaker 6>of have that sort of about an elimination game, especially

219
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:41.559
<v Speaker 6>with Freddy Spacecrafts in the line up late just be able.

220
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:43.200
<v Speaker 8>To pull this off. H.

221
00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:46.519
<v Speaker 7>I mean, I don't know what it says. Honestly, did we?

222
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:50.279
<v Speaker 7>I mean we were very injured all year. Somehow we

223
00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:54.120
<v Speaker 7>had the best recommended league and you know, we we

224
00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:57.879
<v Speaker 7>I feel like tonight was just like an example of

225
00:11:57.960 --> 00:11:59.320
<v Speaker 7>what this team is capable of doing.

226
00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:00.200
<v Speaker 9>Uh.

227
00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:02.399
<v Speaker 7>The fact that we did it without Freddy and me

228
00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:07.039
<v Speaker 7>was just a bonus. But I feel like we have

229
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:11.279
<v Speaker 7>a very deep team overall, and tonight showed all.

230
00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:14.320
<v Speaker 2>Right. There is Key k Hernandez on sports and at LA.

231
00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:17.519
<v Speaker 2>Like I said, there was no statement made to you,

232
00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:20.879
<v Speaker 2>to me, to the media. The statement was made to

233
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:25.120
<v Speaker 2>each other, and the Dodgers held each other accountable and

234
00:12:25.159 --> 00:12:27.799
<v Speaker 2>came out and delivered. You could talk all you want,

235
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:30.639
<v Speaker 2>but if you don't perform on the field, you were

236
00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:33.919
<v Speaker 2>going home. And that was a big statement to each

237
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:37.200
<v Speaker 2>other and a statement that the Dodgers are different than

238
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:40.279
<v Speaker 2>what they were the last two seasons, because, you know,

239
00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:42.679
<v Speaker 2>being down in a series or being down in a

240
00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:46.600
<v Speaker 2>game like they were last night, it wasn't the same vibe.

241
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:49.000
<v Speaker 2>It felt like they kind of just gave up. But

242
00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:52.159
<v Speaker 2>that's not the sense I got from this team going

243
00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:55.120
<v Speaker 2>into the postseason, and it certainly wasn't the sense I

244
00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:58.000
<v Speaker 2>got from them when I saw them fight back after

245
00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:00.720
<v Speaker 2>being down six to one last night. Let's go out

246
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:04.240
<v Speaker 2>to Rancho Kuckamonga. Mike, you're on Dodger Talk with David

247
00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:04.919
<v Speaker 2>vasse Hi.

248
00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:08.799
<v Speaker 10>Mike, Hey, Davey, I just want to say I appreciate

249
00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:10.639
<v Speaker 10>you taking my call, and I appreciate all the hard

250
00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:14.000
<v Speaker 10>work that you do allowing us to express ourselves and

251
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:15.960
<v Speaker 10>and you know, the long hours that you put in

252
00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:19.519
<v Speaker 10>to glide of his Dodger inside. I definitely appreciate that.

253
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:23.639
<v Speaker 10>For my points, got to give Dave Roberts's flowers. I'm

254
00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:27.360
<v Speaker 10>a big Dave Roberts critic, so you know, today he

255
00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:29.559
<v Speaker 10>made the right he made the right calls, He put

256
00:13:29.559 --> 00:13:33.200
<v Speaker 10>the people the pictures in the right positions to be successful.

257
00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:35.679
<v Speaker 10>But of course he's not on the field, so you

258
00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:38.639
<v Speaker 10>got to give you know, you got to give kudos

259
00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:42.000
<v Speaker 10>to the one through nine, to our bullpen. I mean,

260
00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:43.799
<v Speaker 10>what a game, like you said, you know, way to

261
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:46.960
<v Speaker 10>show the fight. I'm very excited to see what happens

262
00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:50.200
<v Speaker 10>on Friday. And I just wanted to Yeah, I just

263
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:53.320
<v Speaker 10>wanted to appreciate my give my gratitude to you. Uh

264
00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:55.320
<v Speaker 10>and and let's go Dodgers.

265
00:13:56.240 --> 00:13:58.720
<v Speaker 2>Thank you for the phone call. No gratitude needed, but

266
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:02.120
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate the word for sure. And I love doing this.

267
00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:05.960
<v Speaker 2>Beats doing a job for a living, but it's really fun.

268
00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:09.679
<v Speaker 2>And obviously being at the ballpark for as many hours

269
00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:13.919
<v Speaker 2>as we are every day, and we just obviously you

270
00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:16.480
<v Speaker 2>have to have a passion for this, and we certainly

271
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:19.679
<v Speaker 2>have a passion for the Dodgers, and they repaid us

272
00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:22.600
<v Speaker 2>all tonight with their effort tonight. For a team, by

273
00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:25.480
<v Speaker 2>the way, like the Padres that don't strike out a lot,

274
00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:28.240
<v Speaker 2>I love that the Dodger relievers, all eight of them,

275
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:32.240
<v Speaker 2>went after them and forced them to make contact. And

276
00:14:32.679 --> 00:14:37.000
<v Speaker 2>all in all, the Dodgers eight relievers struck out eight Padres. Tonight,

277
00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:40.679
<v Speaker 2>the Padres struck out ten Dodgers. So eight strikeouts is

278
00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:43.480
<v Speaker 2>a lot for the Padres. They don't strike out a lot,

279
00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:46.039
<v Speaker 2>so that was big that there was that much swing

280
00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:51.039
<v Speaker 2>a miss many. Machado struck out twice tonight. He and Higgs.

281
00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:55.279
<v Speaker 2>I can't pronounce at the catcher's name for Hi Goatshioka

282
00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:58.240
<v Speaker 2>for the Padres struck out twice as well, Geez calling,

283
00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:00.639
<v Speaker 2>You don't have to shout it in my ear. We

284
00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:03.080
<v Speaker 2>got you, Colin I and Dwayne McDonald, they put in

285
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:05.840
<v Speaker 2>a lot of hours as well. Yes, in case you

286
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:08.240
<v Speaker 2>missed the news as well. Freddy Freeman was a late

287
00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:11.960
<v Speaker 2>scratch and that's why Max Munsey went to first base,

288
00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:15.200
<v Speaker 2>and Keith a Hernandez started the game at third base,

289
00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:18.240
<v Speaker 2>and Chris Taylor started the game in center field. But

290
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:21.919
<v Speaker 2>we saw them switch a couple of different times, which

291
00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:25.240
<v Speaker 2>nobody gave me an answer for. And I'm not sure

292
00:15:25.240 --> 00:15:28.360
<v Speaker 2>if Dave Roberts was asked that in his postgame press conference.

293
00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:31.559
<v Speaker 2>Let's go out to Alex in all Hambra. You're on

294
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:32.279
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Talk.

295
00:15:32.360 --> 00:15:34.960
<v Speaker 11>Hi, Alex, Hey, Hey, thanks for taking on my call.

296
00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:37.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing great. How are you good?

297
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:38.200
<v Speaker 12>How are you.

298
00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:41.279
<v Speaker 2>I feel like we're all doing pretty good, Alex. We've

299
00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:43.480
<v Speaker 2>established that. What do you got for us tonight?

300
00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:46.799
<v Speaker 11>Man, it just it took me back to Game one.

301
00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:51.039
<v Speaker 11>You know, the bullpen really came out clutched tonight, and

302
00:15:51.159 --> 00:15:53.720
<v Speaker 11>you know, they just they did a really good job.

303
00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:55.639
<v Speaker 11>Nothing to worry about at the end of the day.

304
00:15:56.480 --> 00:15:59.120
<v Speaker 11>But you know the thing is, you know, moving forward

305
00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:02.600
<v Speaker 11>house friding and going to come out with his injury.

306
00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:05.679
<v Speaker 2>Now, you know, hey, I don't know, there's a day

307
00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:08.960
<v Speaker 2>off tomorrow. He gets he did not play today, got treatment,

308
00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:12.399
<v Speaker 2>won't play tomorrow because of the day off between Games

309
00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:16.840
<v Speaker 2>four and Games five. But look, Alex, if Freddy Freeman

310
00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:20.720
<v Speaker 2>cannot help the Dodgers, he's got to be honest with

311
00:16:20.840 --> 00:16:23.360
<v Speaker 2>himself as he was today to say, you know what,

312
00:16:24.039 --> 00:16:27.480
<v Speaker 2>let Munsey, let Keith k let Pahez or Taylor play.

313
00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:30.840
<v Speaker 2>And after the way things went tonight, it feels like

314
00:16:31.039 --> 00:16:33.759
<v Speaker 2>maybe that's the way they're leaning. Freddy wants to be

315
00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:35.960
<v Speaker 2>in there. It says a lot for him to say,

316
00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:39.399
<v Speaker 2>you know what, I can't go tonight. So even if

317
00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:42.679
<v Speaker 2>he's not in there, Alex, it's not about the individuals.

318
00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:46.159
<v Speaker 2>It's the greater sum of the parts, and that's what

319
00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:47.360
<v Speaker 2>we saw tonight.

320
00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:50.440
<v Speaker 11>Most definitely, because even when he tried to make that

321
00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:53.559
<v Speaker 11>catch and how he landed with his angle, he even

322
00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:56.919
<v Speaker 11>hurt me, and you know you could tell that that's yeah,

323
00:16:56.960 --> 00:16:59.480
<v Speaker 11>I think that that's what did him in last night

324
00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:00.159
<v Speaker 11>for sure.

325
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for the phone call, Alex, appreciate it. Eight six

326
00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:06.279
<v Speaker 2>six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number.

327
00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:09.880

328
00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:14.319
<v Speaker 2>four of the NLDS to force a Game five. When

330

<v Speaker 2>and Manny Machado as the Dodgers and Padres are headed

332
00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:29.000
<v Speaker 2>to the inevitable a Game five in the NLDS to

333
00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:33.039
<v Speaker 2>decide who will face the Mets in the NLCS. We'll

334

336
00:17:39.599 --> 00:17:43.599
<v Speaker 2>from Pego Park in San Diego after the Dodgers shut

337
00:17:43.599 --> 00:17:45.640
<v Speaker 2>out the Padres eight to nothing.

338

<v Speaker 13>the iHeartRadio apps he's.

341
00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:06.200
<v Speaker 2>Dodger tough with David Bessing. So here's the payoff. Bets

342
00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:07.200
<v Speaker 2>swingson hits a.

343
00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:10.599
<v Speaker 13>High drive left center field and deep merril at the wall.

344
00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:16.599
<v Speaker 13>It's gone no Cookie bets at it again. The first

345
00:18:16.640 --> 00:18:20.720
<v Speaker 13>inning home run. He pumps his fist halfway between second

346
00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:24.480
<v Speaker 13>and third Hollo high five for Dino Ebol, his second

347
00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:27.839
<v Speaker 13>home run in as many days. It's won nothing, Dodgers.

348
00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:33.279
<v Speaker 2>Mookie was locked in. He delivered for the Dodgers a

349
00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:36.799
<v Speaker 2>home run in the first inning, and for good measure,

350
00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:40.480
<v Speaker 2>drives in another run in the second inning to lead

351
00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:43.920
<v Speaker 2>the way for a Dodger's eight nothing shut out win

352
00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:47.640
<v Speaker 2>over the Padres in Game four of the NLDS to

353
00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:51.400
<v Speaker 2>force a Game five, which will be Friday night at

361
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:22.319
<v Speaker 2>I loved how versatile the Dodger offense was tonight. They

362
00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:25.400
<v Speaker 2>hit three home runs tonight, but they also were able

363
00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:28.400
<v Speaker 2>to string together two or three consecutive hits in a

364
00:19:28.440 --> 00:19:31.720
<v Speaker 2>couple of different innings. And that's the approach they need

365
00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:35.720
<v Speaker 2>to have going into Game five against you, Darvish. I'll

366
00:19:35.759 --> 00:19:39.400
<v Speaker 2>say it again, You Darvish throws a lot of different pitches.

367
00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:42.480
<v Speaker 2>You want to try to get to him early before

368
00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:46.000
<v Speaker 2>he settles in on the three or four that he

369
00:19:46.160 --> 00:19:49.319
<v Speaker 2>has a feel for in that game. And I said

370
00:19:49.319 --> 00:19:52.880
<v Speaker 2>this earlier as well. Dave Roberts wouldn't commit to a

371
00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:56.160
<v Speaker 2>starting pitcher for Game five, and I love hearing that

372
00:19:56.279 --> 00:20:01.680
<v Speaker 2>because the Dodgers should have real pause about starting Yoshi Yamamoto,

373
00:20:02.119 --> 00:20:04.359
<v Speaker 2>who has a heart of a champion, who would not

374
00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:08.119
<v Speaker 2>be scared away in that moment, but for whatever reason,

375
00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:12.119
<v Speaker 2>the Padres have had his number this season. In three starts,

376
00:20:12.440 --> 00:20:16.079
<v Speaker 2>Yamamoto has only pitched nine innings and has given up

377
00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:20.279
<v Speaker 2>thirteen earned runs. That includes Game one of the NLDS,

378
00:20:20.519 --> 00:20:25.200
<v Speaker 2>and it also includes Opening Day in South Korea. Sometimes

379
00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:28.039
<v Speaker 2>hitters just see something and I don't want to say

380
00:20:28.440 --> 00:20:32.200
<v Speaker 2>the Padres have some sort of tipping tip to be

381
00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:36.079
<v Speaker 2>able to hit off Yamamoto. But there's something going on

382
00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:39.880
<v Speaker 2>that would give the Dodgers pause about not just announcing

383
00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:44.039
<v Speaker 2>Yamamoto as their Game five starter. I would be all

384
00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:47.160
<v Speaker 2>in with Jack Flaherty to start Game five of the

385
00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:51.200
<v Speaker 2>NLDS and hold Yamamoto back for Game one of the

386
00:20:51.279 --> 00:20:55.119
<v Speaker 2>NLCS if the Dodgers are fortunate enough to win this

387
00:20:55.279 --> 00:20:58.599
<v Speaker 2>Game five. By the way, this will be the sixth

388
00:20:58.680 --> 00:21:01.480
<v Speaker 2>time the Dodgers we'll play a Game five of the

389
00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:05.480
<v Speaker 2>NLDS in their franchise history. They are three and two

390
00:21:05.720 --> 00:21:09.400
<v Speaker 2>in their previous game fives. The latest was twenty twenty

391
00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:13.240
<v Speaker 2>one in San Francisco against the Giants. They won that

392
00:21:13.319 --> 00:21:16.480
<v Speaker 2>game two to one. Remember they used an opener, then

393
00:21:16.519 --> 00:21:20.640
<v Speaker 2>brought in Julio Ourrias and Max Schurzer closed out that game.

394
00:21:20.920 --> 00:21:23.720
<v Speaker 2>Who knows, the Dodgers may go to an opener and

395
00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:27.400
<v Speaker 2>have Flarerity come in after that opener, But either way

396
00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:29.920
<v Speaker 2>you slice it. I feel like Flarity's going to be

397
00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:33.920
<v Speaker 2>a big part of Game five. Eight six, six, nine, eight, seven,

398
00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:37.119
<v Speaker 2>two five seventy is the phone number. Let's go out

399
00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:40.119
<v Speaker 2>to see me Valley Nathan, You're on Dodger Talk Live

400
00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:41.079
<v Speaker 2>from San Diego.

401
00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:45.160
<v Speaker 8>Hey, David, thank you for taking my call, my pleasure.

402
00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:45.599
<v Speaker 2>What do you have.

403
00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:49.240
<v Speaker 8>I just want to talk about let's's performance tonight and

404
00:21:49.559 --> 00:21:51.400
<v Speaker 8>a couple of years ago, I was down the shield

405
00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:54.799
<v Speaker 8>of Dodger Stadium playing catches in that winter camp. And

406
00:21:54.880 --> 00:22:00.119
<v Speaker 8>now he's pretty big home runs. Yeah, now he's your favorite.

407
00:21:59.799 --> 00:22:02.839
<v Speaker 2>Play, your favorite player delivered tonight.

408
00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:08.200
<v Speaker 8>But now he's sitting big home runs in the NLDS

409
00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:10.960
<v Speaker 8>And just how he said when Mookie goes, we go

410
00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:15.960
<v Speaker 8>and I wore Mookie Bets jersey to school today and

411
00:22:16.279 --> 00:22:18.599
<v Speaker 8>just have it back to back nights of him home

412
00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:20.799
<v Speaker 8>right in the first inning to really get the Dodges going.

413
00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:24.279
<v Speaker 2>Well, you better wear that jersey again on Friday before

414
00:22:24.400 --> 00:22:27.119
<v Speaker 2>Game five. Nathan. It was a good luck charm. Thanks

415
00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:29.200
<v Speaker 2>for the phone call. Appreciate it. Let's go out to

416
00:22:29.319 --> 00:22:33.279
<v Speaker 2>Chewy in Burdbank. You're on Dodger Talk Live from Peco Park.

417
00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:35.559
<v Speaker 9>Ha, Chewey, how are you doing baby?

418
00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:39.160
<v Speaker 2>I think everybody's doing great in LA. Where did you

419
00:22:39.200 --> 00:22:40.240
<v Speaker 2>watch the game tonight?

420
00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:43.119
<v Speaker 9>Absolutely? I watched the game at the house at the

421
00:22:43.200 --> 00:22:45.039
<v Speaker 9>crib and we were screaming on the couch.

422
00:22:46.200 --> 00:22:48.880
<v Speaker 2>I love it. Wake up those neighbors.

423
00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:51.920
<v Speaker 9>Wake up everybody. Bro, So check us out. If everything

424
00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:55.400
<v Speaker 9>goes our way on Friday, how well do we match

425
00:22:55.480 --> 00:22:58.119
<v Speaker 9>up against these Mets? Do we have an edge anywhere

426
00:22:58.240 --> 00:22:59.400
<v Speaker 9>when it comes to them?

427
00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:02.519
<v Speaker 2>Throw it all out the window, Chewy. The Dodgers kind

428
00:23:02.519 --> 00:23:05.359
<v Speaker 2>of turned their season around in New York in the

429
00:23:05.400 --> 00:23:08.160
<v Speaker 2>middle of the summer when they swept a doubleheader against

430
00:23:08.200 --> 00:23:11.279
<v Speaker 2>the Mets. That was kind of rock bottom for the Mets,

431
00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:15.200
<v Speaker 2>and somehow, some way they came back to life and

432
00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:19.599
<v Speaker 2>are on this magical carpet ride to the NLCS. Throw

433
00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:23.119
<v Speaker 2>it all out the window. The Mets are writing some

434
00:23:23.319 --> 00:23:27.200
<v Speaker 2>sort of magic and maybe the Dodgers talent can stop it.

435
00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:31.000
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I would forget about anything that happened in

436
00:23:31.039 --> 00:23:34.799
<v Speaker 2>the regular season. It's such a different Mets team right now.

437
00:23:35.680 --> 00:23:37.880
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, it really is.

438
00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:40.400
<v Speaker 2>And I'm the the door hit any grand slam.

439
00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:43.599
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I'm gonna put this out there real quick, David.

440
00:23:43.599 --> 00:23:46.799
<v Speaker 9>If they need a first basement Freddie's out, I'm putting

441
00:23:46.799 --> 00:23:49.559
<v Speaker 9>it out there. I'm I'm I'm ready, I'm ready to go.

442
00:23:50.359 --> 00:23:52.440
<v Speaker 2>All right, Chewey. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for

443
00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:56.480
<v Speaker 2>the phone call. Eight sixty six nine, eight seven two

444
00:23:56.519 --> 00:23:59.200
<v Speaker 2>five seventy is the phone number. Hey, By the way,

445
00:23:59.240 --> 00:24:02.240
<v Speaker 2>I guess Ken Rosenthal didn't need to go into the

446
00:24:02.279 --> 00:24:06.000
<v Speaker 2>Padres dugout tonight because the Dodgers beat them. And now

447
00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:10.519
<v Speaker 2>I have shut out the Padres for fifteen consecutive innings

448
00:24:10.759 --> 00:24:14.319
<v Speaker 2>after San Diego scored six runs off of Walker Bueller

449
00:24:14.680 --> 00:24:18.319
<v Speaker 2>in the second inning last night. Eight six six seven

450
00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:21.279
<v Speaker 2>two five seventy. Let's go out to our man Kevin

451
00:24:21.319 --> 00:24:26.359
<v Speaker 2>in Culver City. You're on Dodger Talk, Hi, Kevin, God.

452
00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:30.440
<v Speaker 14>Is good mass. First of all, I want to give

453
00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:35.119
<v Speaker 14>some exhaust Oh man, it was an exhausting game. I

454
00:24:35.160 --> 00:24:37.680
<v Speaker 14>want to get some prayers to uh, Fernando Valenzuela. I

455
00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:41.680
<v Speaker 14>was praying for Fernando. Hope he gets well and he's

456
00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:44.400
<v Speaker 14>in my thoughts. You know, all the victors of hurricane

457
00:24:44.400 --> 00:24:47.480
<v Speaker 14>in our South region. Thinking about them too and pray

458
00:24:47.559 --> 00:24:50.880
<v Speaker 14>for them. Uh to the game. This is all about you,

459
00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:54.480
<v Speaker 14>David Asse. You're the guy who said the bats were

460
00:24:54.519 --> 00:24:57.599
<v Speaker 14>gonna be there tonight. You're the guy who said there

461
00:24:57.680 --> 00:24:59.759
<v Speaker 14>was gonna be a bullpen game, and we're gonna be

462
00:24:59.759 --> 00:25:01.440
<v Speaker 14>a We're gonna put the runs on the board. And

463
00:25:01.480 --> 00:25:03.160
<v Speaker 14>get to win. And I want to get some props

464
00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:06.519
<v Speaker 14>to my boy, Mookie best Mookie bleeping bets. This guy

465
00:25:06.960 --> 00:25:10.720
<v Speaker 14>has taken so much. She's from the LA media MLB media,

466
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:13.519
<v Speaker 14>and he stepped up and got home runs in back

467
00:25:13.559 --> 00:25:15.839
<v Speaker 14>to back games. I say three games he got, you know,

468
00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:17.079
<v Speaker 14>cause the Dodgers said didn't.

469
00:25:16.880 --> 00:25:17.319
<v Speaker 15>Do his job.

470
00:25:17.640 --> 00:25:20.240
<v Speaker 14>But Mookie has stuck up like stuck up instead of

471
00:25:20.319 --> 00:25:22.960
<v Speaker 14>and put this team on his back and has carried

472
00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:25.319
<v Speaker 14>us and it's played like an MVP. I want to

473
00:25:25.359 --> 00:25:27.319
<v Speaker 14>shout out will Smith muld finally get in a big

474
00:25:27.400 --> 00:25:30.680
<v Speaker 14>home run for us? And look, three hundred million reasons

475
00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:35.200
<v Speaker 14>why yo yo mo model might play Friday and pitch

476
00:25:35.279 --> 00:25:38.759
<v Speaker 14>because he's got the skill to do it. This is

477
00:25:38.839 --> 00:25:39.400
<v Speaker 14>we picked him.

478
00:25:39.319 --> 00:25:44.160
<v Speaker 2>Up right, well paid in baseball history. But you know, Kevin,

479
00:25:44.519 --> 00:25:47.039
<v Speaker 2>that was more of a long term investment. He's twenty

480
00:25:47.079 --> 00:25:50.160
<v Speaker 2>five years old. The Padres see him really well. I

481
00:25:50.200 --> 00:25:52.680
<v Speaker 2>don't care how much he makes. I just want the

482
00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:56.519
<v Speaker 2>best matchup and I don't believe it's Yamamoto against the Padres.

483
00:25:56.839 --> 00:26:00.079
<v Speaker 2>I gotta run. Thank you for the love, appreciate it. Look,

484
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:03.039
<v Speaker 2>I just didn't believe Dylan Cees was going to be

485
00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:07.319
<v Speaker 2>able to see more than two or three innings max

486
00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:10.839
<v Speaker 2>against the Dodgers. The Dodger players told me after Game

487
00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:14.079
<v Speaker 2>one they are not chasing his slider. They have seen

488
00:26:14.119 --> 00:26:17.200
<v Speaker 2>it way too much to be tempted to chase it.

489
00:26:17.319 --> 00:26:20.720
<v Speaker 2>I was shocked. The Padres went to Dylan Cees tonight

490
00:26:20.960 --> 00:26:25.359
<v Speaker 2>and it completely backfired in the Dodgers favor. Speaking of

491
00:26:25.400 --> 00:26:29.119
<v Speaker 2>the Padres Manny Machado, he's been at the center of

492
00:26:29.200 --> 00:26:32.400
<v Speaker 2>this NLDS. He is headed to a Game five at

493
00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:35.960
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers Stadium. Let's head downstairs right now to hear from

494
00:26:35.960 --> 00:26:39.240
<v Speaker 2>the Padres third baseman just didn't execute.

495
00:26:39.279 --> 00:26:42.200
<v Speaker 16>You know, we had a couple opportunities there to you no,

496
00:26:42.559 --> 00:26:44.480
<v Speaker 16>tack on some runs and we just didn't, you know,

497
00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:45.359
<v Speaker 16>get some runs across.

498
00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:48.160
<v Speaker 4>How do you think you guys will regrouping fit go

499
00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:49.839
<v Speaker 4>into Game five, nomination.

500
00:26:49.480 --> 00:26:52.160
<v Speaker 16>Game, just like we do every time, you know, put

501
00:26:52.160 --> 00:26:54.519
<v Speaker 16>this aside and go out there and get ready for

502
00:26:54.519 --> 00:26:57.480
<v Speaker 16>a Game five and compete, you know, you know, like

503
00:26:57.480 --> 00:26:58.519
<v Speaker 16>we've been doing all year.

504
00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:01.240
<v Speaker 15>Revenue on the mound for that game.

505
00:27:01.400 --> 00:27:02.880
<v Speaker 2>How much confience does they get to guess?

506
00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:05.160
<v Speaker 16>Yeah, I mean, you know, we got the right guy

507
00:27:05.240 --> 00:27:07.480
<v Speaker 16>on the mount and you know, we definitely have all

508
00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:08.319
<v Speaker 16>the confidences.

509
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:08.279
<v Speaker 8>In the world.

510
00:27:08.279 --> 00:27:11.240
<v Speaker 17>And then I know he's done in the past.

511
00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:13.599
<v Speaker 16>And he's done in the future, we're going to continue

512
00:27:13.640 --> 00:27:16.599
<v Speaker 16>to do for us. So yeah, we're we're definitely ready

513
00:27:16.599 --> 00:27:17.480
<v Speaker 16>for get about you.

514
00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:19.240
<v Speaker 7>Found in a much bigger challenge having to faxed so

515
00:27:19.240 --> 00:27:20.720
<v Speaker 7>many arms in a game, upposed.

516
00:27:20.400 --> 00:27:21.279
<v Speaker 4>To maybe a natural starter.

517
00:27:21.359 --> 00:27:22.599
<v Speaker 15>Yeah, I it doesn't doesn't matter.

518
00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:24.079
<v Speaker 16>We got to hit the ball, right, You gotta score runs.

519
00:27:24.079 --> 00:27:26.759
<v Speaker 16>That's the name of the game. So we just didn't

520
00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:27.799
<v Speaker 16>do that play.

521
00:27:29.079 --> 00:27:30.359
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, they got a good and they're a.

522
00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:32.839
<v Speaker 16>Good team all there, right, and they've been doing it

523
00:27:32.880 --> 00:27:36.359
<v Speaker 16>all year and we just didn't, Uh, we didn't execute

524
00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:39.319
<v Speaker 16>them when we had a cup opportunities as an offense.

525
00:27:39.079 --> 00:27:41.119
<v Speaker 17>You guys have typically been able to score more ones

526
00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:42.599
<v Speaker 17>against the starters than the believers.

527
00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:43.880
<v Speaker 2>Any theory why there?

528
00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:46.799
<v Speaker 16>I mean, it's it's hit a mess. We've we've we've

529
00:27:46.799 --> 00:27:51.160
<v Speaker 16>walked off best best closers in the games, right, I mean,

530
00:27:51.200 --> 00:27:54.079
<v Speaker 16>it's just it's irrelevant, honestly, it's it really isn't. We

531
00:27:54.200 --> 00:27:57.200
<v Speaker 16>just we didn't we didn't hit we didn't get runs

532
00:27:57.240 --> 00:28:00.359
<v Speaker 16>across the board, and that's what that's really whatever really was.

533
00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:05.160
<v Speaker 13>Friday and the environment and the level of play and intensity.

534
00:28:05.359 --> 00:28:07.480
<v Speaker 16>Hey, man, we gotta we gotta win. It's win winter

535
00:28:07.559 --> 00:28:09.680
<v Speaker 16>for home. So go out there and leave it on

536
00:28:09.759 --> 00:28:11.480
<v Speaker 16>the field. Who was next message?

537
00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:12.119
<v Speaker 5>You guys.

538
00:28:13.839 --> 00:28:15.880
<v Speaker 16>Us the message that he's been doing all ye out

539
00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:19.079
<v Speaker 16>and compete, you know, put this one aside and you know,

540
00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:20.839
<v Speaker 16>get ready for uh, you know, Game five?

541
00:28:22.200 --> 00:28:25.960
<v Speaker 2>All right, there's Manny Machado inside the Padres clubhouse and

542
00:28:26.039 --> 00:28:29.079
<v Speaker 2>he was asked about the success the Padres have had

543
00:28:29.119 --> 00:28:32.640
<v Speaker 2>against the Dodgers starters versus their relievers. We all saw

544
00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:36.400
<v Speaker 2>the graphic posted and Rick Monday actually shared this with

545
00:28:36.480 --> 00:28:39.680
<v Speaker 2>me coming into the game tonight. The Padres off of

546
00:28:39.759 --> 00:28:43.960
<v Speaker 2>three Dodgers starters have scored fifteen runs in thirteen and

547
00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:47.039
<v Speaker 2>a third innings. And maybe this stem the tide. But

548
00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:51.519
<v Speaker 2>you can't continue to go with a bullpen game in

549
00:28:51.640 --> 00:28:55.200
<v Speaker 2>every single game in the postseason. At some point in time,

550
00:28:55.559 --> 00:28:58.240
<v Speaker 2>you're going to have to get quality starts from one

551
00:28:58.240 --> 00:29:00.880
<v Speaker 2>of your starting pitchers. It would be I deal if

552
00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:03.920
<v Speaker 2>you can get at least two guys on track. And

553
00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:06.440
<v Speaker 2>I feel like the Dodgers are going to look towards

554
00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:10.400
<v Speaker 2>Jack Flaherty on Friday night at Dodgers Stadium to step

555
00:29:10.480 --> 00:29:13.880
<v Speaker 2>up big. The Dodgers have not made any announcement on

556
00:29:13.880 --> 00:29:16.119
<v Speaker 2>who is starting Game five, but if it was up

557
00:29:16.160 --> 00:29:20.160
<v Speaker 2>to me because of matchups. This is about matchups. You're

558
00:29:20.200 --> 00:29:24.119
<v Speaker 2>facing the same team again for the fifth time. That's

559
00:29:24.160 --> 00:29:27.279
<v Speaker 2>what it is in the postseason. And this is nothing

560
00:29:27.319 --> 00:29:30.799
<v Speaker 2>against Yamamoto. I'm very confident in him starting a Game

561
00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:35.799
<v Speaker 2>one at home against the Mets in the NLCS. But

562
00:29:35.960 --> 00:29:38.799
<v Speaker 2>this year it just hasn't been a good matchup for

563
00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:42.799
<v Speaker 2>him against the Padres, and feelings have to be put

564
00:29:42.839 --> 00:29:46.279
<v Speaker 2>aside right now. This is about giving yourself the best

565
00:29:46.400 --> 00:29:50.839
<v Speaker 2>chance to advance, and unfortunately this matchup is not a

566
00:29:50.880 --> 00:29:54.519
<v Speaker 2>great one for Yamamoto. So get ready for Game one

567
00:29:54.519 --> 00:29:57.920
<v Speaker 2>of the NLCS and hand the ball to Jack Flaherty

568
00:29:58.000 --> 00:30:01.960
<v Speaker 2>who certainly has a the cohonas and the edge to

569
00:30:02.000 --> 00:30:06.319
<v Speaker 2>be able to not shy away from this type of stage.

570
00:30:06.559 --> 00:30:09.960
<v Speaker 2>And Yamamoto does too. I know there's a language barrier,

571
00:30:10.039 --> 00:30:14.200
<v Speaker 2>but from everything being around him, he has a heart

572
00:30:14.279 --> 00:30:17.799
<v Speaker 2>of a lion. It's just not a great matchup for him.

573
00:30:18.160 --> 00:30:21.480
<v Speaker 2>Let's go out to Boyle Heights. James, you're on Dodger

574
00:30:21.599 --> 00:30:23.680
<v Speaker 2>Talk with David Vassey. Hi James.

575
00:30:24.480 --> 00:30:28.119
<v Speaker 15>What's going on? Dv oh Man. I just want to say,

576
00:30:28.240 --> 00:30:32.000
<v Speaker 15>what a spectacular showing from the bullpen. It was just

577
00:30:32.079 --> 00:30:38.160
<v Speaker 15>a great showing they had. Mookie Betts came back yesterday

578
00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:41.839
<v Speaker 15>and today he was just doing really well. I just

579
00:30:41.839 --> 00:30:44.200
<v Speaker 15>feel like we're on the trajectory to where we've been

580
00:30:44.240 --> 00:30:46.599
<v Speaker 15>playing this whole season, and I think we're just going

581
00:30:46.680 --> 00:30:49.319
<v Speaker 15>to continue doing that. We had a little time off

582
00:30:49.359 --> 00:30:51.400
<v Speaker 15>to where we needed some people to heal, but I

583
00:30:51.440 --> 00:30:54.480
<v Speaker 15>feel like we're on the way to being the best

584
00:30:54.480 --> 00:30:55.240
<v Speaker 15>team in MLB.

585
00:30:55.720 --> 00:31:00.039
<v Speaker 2>As we were all right, well that'll be decided on

586
00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:03.519
<v Speaker 2>Friday night at Dodger Stadium. And you heard from Manny Machado.

587
00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:09.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm expecting many Machado to get a very pleasant reception

588
00:31:09.920 --> 00:31:12.920
<v Speaker 2>at Dodger Stadium, if you know what I mean. It

589
00:31:13.079 --> 00:31:16.839
<v Speaker 2>was loud, it was electric, it was uh rockus here

590
00:31:16.960 --> 00:31:19.680
<v Speaker 2>at Peco Park, I would imagine it to be the

591
00:31:19.720 --> 00:31:22.759
<v Speaker 2>same way at Dodger Stadium. But just to remind you,

592
00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:26.000
<v Speaker 2>let's just let the players decide it between the lines.

593
00:31:26.359 --> 00:31:30.440
<v Speaker 2>We don't need any extra curricular activities from the fans

594
00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:34.440
<v Speaker 2>in the stands. Let the Dodgers handle the padres. You

595
00:31:34.559 --> 00:31:37.640
<v Speaker 2>just sit back and enjoy and make it loud at

596
00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:41.680
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Stadium on Friday night. Let's go out to Long Beach. Joe,

597
00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:45.559
<v Speaker 2>you're on Dodger Talk with David Vasse. How you doing, Joe?

598
00:31:46.559 --> 00:31:47.640
<v Speaker 9>Hey Dave, what are you doing?

599
00:31:47.960 --> 00:31:49.039
<v Speaker 12>Thank you for taking a goal.

600
00:31:49.799 --> 00:31:53.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad you're a responsible driver signaling your lane change

601
00:31:53.920 --> 00:31:54.440
<v Speaker 2>right there.

602
00:31:55.880 --> 00:31:59.759
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, I'm Joe the live driver, so oh boy.

603
00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:02.799
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah. I'm sure there were a lot of fans

604
00:32:03.119 --> 00:32:05.880
<v Speaker 2>being responsible out there watching the game.

605
00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:08.000
<v Speaker 10>Yep, yep.

606
00:32:08.680 --> 00:32:13.200
<v Speaker 12>Hey listen, I'm just excited to see Key K have

607
00:32:13.319 --> 00:32:16.519
<v Speaker 12>some success. I don't know why we don't play him

608
00:32:16.519 --> 00:32:17.319
<v Speaker 12>a lot more.

609
00:32:18.000 --> 00:32:20.359
<v Speaker 2>But K should be in the starting line for every

610
00:32:20.400 --> 00:32:23.440
<v Speaker 2>playoff game, Joe. I'm with you from here on out.

611
00:32:23.960 --> 00:32:27.400
<v Speaker 2>T K Hernandez needs to be in the lineup somewhere.

612
00:32:26.960 --> 00:32:32.319
<v Speaker 12>Some way, yes, sir. And last thing, Dave, is there

613
00:32:32.440 --> 00:32:35.400
<v Speaker 12>any way we can keep San Diego fans from worry

614
00:32:35.440 --> 00:32:38.200
<v Speaker 12>their jerseys in the stadium, like when they come up

615
00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:39.799
<v Speaker 12>and make them take their jerseys off.

616
00:32:40.720 --> 00:32:45.160
<v Speaker 2>No, Dodge Dodgers Stadium doesn't do that. It's a big city,

617
00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:49.319
<v Speaker 2>they're not small town. They'll allow any fans to come in.

618
00:32:49.359 --> 00:32:52.200
<v Speaker 2>But like I said, I hope the fans just allow

619
00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:55.720
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers and Padres to decide the NLDS and we

620
00:32:55.799 --> 00:32:59.680
<v Speaker 2>don't need any extracurricular activities. And look, if there's a

621
00:32:59.720 --> 00:33:02.759
<v Speaker 2>fan in a Padre Jersey, let them cheer or let

622
00:33:02.799 --> 00:33:07.000
<v Speaker 2>them be sad. It might be sad. Diego on Friday night.

623
00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:10.599
<v Speaker 12>Joe sounds good.

624
00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:14.720
<v Speaker 2>Thanks all right, Joe, be safe out there doing the

625
00:33:14.799 --> 00:33:18.799
<v Speaker 2>lift driving eight six six seven two five seventy is

626
00:33:18.880 --> 00:33:21.720

627
00:33:21.920 --> 00:33:25.359

628
00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:28.480
<v Speaker 2>Darvish on the mound for the Padres. We'll see who

629
00:33:28.519 --> 00:33:31.559
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers throw out there first pitch right here on

630
00:33:31.599 --> 00:33:34.680
<v Speaker 2>AM five to seventy. LA Sports will be at five

631
00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:38.839
<v Speaker 2>oh eight. Our coverage begins at four o'clock. All right,

632
00:33:38.920 --> 00:33:42.160
<v Speaker 2>let's head back downstairs to the Dodger Clubhouse to hear

633
00:33:42.599 --> 00:33:45.160
<v Speaker 2>from Freddie Freeman, who is a late scratch tonight.

634
00:33:46.319 --> 00:33:48.519
<v Speaker 7>Are you pretty confident about Friday or you gotta compleat

635
00:33:48.559 --> 00:33:49.559
<v Speaker 7>today every day?

636
00:33:49.680 --> 00:33:52.799
<v Speaker 6>Like I said, day to day. So happy we got

637
00:33:52.799 --> 00:33:54.720
<v Speaker 6>a game five and get a chance at a full

638
00:33:54.799 --> 00:33:56.920
<v Speaker 6>day's rest today. Didn't even try to run on it,

639
00:33:56.960 --> 00:34:00.000
<v Speaker 6>so tomorrow, we'll, you know'll get to the filthy treatment

640
00:34:00.039 --> 00:34:00.880
<v Speaker 6>and see how we go.

641
00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:02.640
<v Speaker 3>Let's see yours disabilities.

642
00:34:02.680 --> 00:34:05.400
<v Speaker 6>We stave off eliminations for being the sore spot again,

643
00:34:05.519 --> 00:34:08.440
<v Speaker 6>going to get the guys came out, you know, Mookie

644
00:34:08.559 --> 00:34:11.079
<v Speaker 6>being Mookie bets it was huge, and then I just

645
00:34:11.400 --> 00:34:13.840
<v Speaker 6>up and down the lineup great at bats, attacking on runs.

646
00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:17.800
<v Speaker 6>You know, it's bullpen is absolutely incredible. So looking forward

647
00:34:17.840 --> 00:34:19.960
<v Speaker 6>to Friday, we get a different version of Mooki. Ever,

648
00:34:20.239 --> 00:34:22.239
<v Speaker 6>especially after you actually getting the home runs, we're getting

649
00:34:22.239 --> 00:34:24.440
<v Speaker 6>that breaking that's right, hits stretch. I think we all

650
00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:26.559
<v Speaker 6>knew Muki was gonna be Mooki. I mean, I know

651
00:34:26.599 --> 00:34:30.360
<v Speaker 6>everyone wants to harp on certain things, but it's Mookie

652
00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:31.039
<v Speaker 6>best for a reason.

653
00:34:32.159 --> 00:34:34.599
<v Speaker 12>It's pretty coming down the bat on the double play.

654
00:34:34.719 --> 00:34:41.400
<v Speaker 6>Yesterday's aggravated year ankle, aggravated before the game. Every day

655
00:34:41.440 --> 00:34:44.320
<v Speaker 6>is the same. We'll try again on Friday.

656
00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:47.559
<v Speaker 2>All right. There's Freddy Freeman on sports and at LA,

657
00:34:48.079 --> 00:34:51.719
<v Speaker 2>and look, I appreciate Freddy Freeman being honest with himself

658
00:34:51.760 --> 00:34:54.719
<v Speaker 2>and being honest with Dave Roberts to say I'm not

659
00:34:54.800 --> 00:34:57.000
<v Speaker 2>good enough to help the team win and force the

660
00:34:57.039 --> 00:35:01.000
<v Speaker 2>game five. That's really hard to do for any player,

661
00:35:01.480 --> 00:35:04.679
<v Speaker 2>let alone when you're a player the caliber of Freddie Freeman,

662
00:35:04.840 --> 00:35:08.360
<v Speaker 2>because you feel like you're Superman, you can do anything

663
00:35:08.480 --> 00:35:10.880
<v Speaker 2>you need to be out there. There's not a lot

664
00:35:10.920 --> 00:35:13.880
<v Speaker 2>of players his caliber that would say, you know what,

665
00:35:14.559 --> 00:35:17.559
<v Speaker 2>I can't help tonight, and he did the right thing,

666
00:35:17.880 --> 00:35:21.960
<v Speaker 2>and that is uh. You know, Freddy continues to impress

667
00:35:22.000 --> 00:35:24.679
<v Speaker 2>me in a lot of different ways, and tonight certainly

668
00:35:24.679 --> 00:35:27.679
<v Speaker 2>did as well. Eight six, six, nine eighty seven, two

669
00:35:27.719 --> 00:35:31.639
<v Speaker 2>five seventy is the phone number. Let's go out to Glendale. Aaron,

670
00:35:31.840 --> 00:35:33.599
<v Speaker 2>you're on Dodger Talk. How you doing Aeron?

671
00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:38.639
<v Speaker 18>I'm doing well. Glendale in the house, David. Tonight was

672
00:35:38.719 --> 00:35:43.360
<v Speaker 18>an amazing game to watch as a fan, wondering who

673
00:35:43.400 --> 00:35:46.679
<v Speaker 18>in the bullpen was going to go next. It's kind

674
00:35:46.679 --> 00:35:49.239
<v Speaker 18>of like an inside out game for the bolt and

675
00:35:49.280 --> 00:35:52.719
<v Speaker 18>then the quote unquote starter closing it out when we

676
00:35:52.800 --> 00:35:57.039
<v Speaker 18>had stomped on him was amazing. Do you think because

677
00:35:57.039 --> 00:35:59.440
<v Speaker 18>they scored a lot of runs that enabled Dave to

678
00:35:59.519 --> 00:36:03.079
<v Speaker 18>kind of go backwards front with the bullpen.

679
00:36:03.760 --> 00:36:07.079
<v Speaker 2>Without a doubt. It made his job easier to execute

680
00:36:07.159 --> 00:36:12.599
<v Speaker 2>the pregame script with that type of lead, because I

681
00:36:12.679 --> 00:36:15.000
<v Speaker 2>go back to what Joe Madden had to say when

682
00:36:15.039 --> 00:36:18.880
<v Speaker 2>he was managing the Cubs against the Dodgers in twenty seventeen,

683
00:36:19.519 --> 00:36:22.800
<v Speaker 2>and he said that obviously he's been on that side

684
00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:26.039
<v Speaker 2>before with Andrew Friedman, and you have to get ahead

685
00:36:26.079 --> 00:36:29.079
<v Speaker 2>of the Dodgers or be tied in the fifth or

686
00:36:29.199 --> 00:36:33.800
<v Speaker 2>sixth innings to really disrupt their script, their pitching script.

687
00:36:34.239 --> 00:36:37.239
<v Speaker 2>And with the Dodgers getting ahead five to nothing after

688
00:36:37.320 --> 00:36:40.599
<v Speaker 2>three innings, that was huge for them to allow that

689
00:36:40.639 --> 00:36:42.480
<v Speaker 2>script to come to fruition tonight.

690
00:36:43.599 --> 00:36:47.920
<v Speaker 18>Definitely huge. The other thing that I loved was how

691
00:36:47.920 --> 00:36:51.679
<v Speaker 18>they pitched to Toddtise. They didn't go at him, they

692
00:36:51.760 --> 00:36:54.079
<v Speaker 18>d him a lot of breaking balls, and I loved

693
00:36:55.079 --> 00:36:58.119
<v Speaker 18>the chin music that Kopek gave him and kind of

694
00:36:58.719 --> 00:37:00.639
<v Speaker 18>back them off to play the low bit and got

695
00:37:00.639 --> 00:37:01.519
<v Speaker 18>his butt dirty.

696
00:37:02.440 --> 00:37:04.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you got to move his feet. And I thought

697
00:37:04.400 --> 00:37:07.159
<v Speaker 2>Jose Motor brought up a good point. He did double

698
00:37:07.559 --> 00:37:10.679
<v Speaker 2>in that at bat where Kopek knocked him down, but

699
00:37:10.880 --> 00:37:14.280
<v Speaker 2>maybe it pushed him off the plate just that much

700
00:37:14.639 --> 00:37:16.800
<v Speaker 2>and instead of a home run, it was a double.

701
00:37:17.039 --> 00:37:19.119
<v Speaker 2>I thought that was a great point by Jose. But

702
00:37:20.119 --> 00:37:23.760
<v Speaker 2>Fernando Tatist Junior has had his way in this series,

703
00:37:24.159 --> 00:37:26.719
<v Speaker 2>and tonight was the first night the Dodgers slowed him

704
00:37:26.760 --> 00:37:29.000
<v Speaker 2>down and that was a big key to them winning

705
00:37:29.000 --> 00:37:29.480
<v Speaker 2>this game.

706
00:37:29.480 --> 00:37:34.000
<v Speaker 18>Tonight, manager was and then just the last thing. I

707
00:37:34.039 --> 00:37:35.679
<v Speaker 18>want to see what you think. But we need to

708
00:37:35.679 --> 00:37:39.679
<v Speaker 18>get revenge on you Darvish for beating his Sunday.

709
00:37:39.960 --> 00:37:41.719
<v Speaker 9>And maybe a little payback for the.

710
00:37:41.679 --> 00:37:44.920
<v Speaker 18>Twenty seventeen World Series Game seven. What's it going to

711
00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:46.679
<v Speaker 18>take to beat him? And things should take him?

712
00:37:46.679 --> 00:37:51.000
<v Speaker 2>My call, Yeah, no problem. I really do believe that.

713
00:37:51.079 --> 00:37:53.280
<v Speaker 2>And it's funny he brought up twenty seventeen in game

714
00:37:53.320 --> 00:37:57.119
<v Speaker 2>seven because I was thinking that as well. Look, the

715
00:37:57.199 --> 00:37:59.760
<v Speaker 2>last time you Darvish was in this type of game,

716
00:38:00.199 --> 00:38:02.920
<v Speaker 2>he did not fare very well. George Springer hit a

717
00:38:02.920 --> 00:38:05.480
<v Speaker 2>big home run in the first inning, and we all

718
00:38:05.519 --> 00:38:09.320
<v Speaker 2>know that you Darvish was not made for that Game

719
00:38:09.440 --> 00:38:13.320
<v Speaker 2>seven of the World Series. So hopefully the Dodgers can

720
00:38:13.559 --> 00:38:17.320
<v Speaker 2>duplicate that type of performance. And like I said earlier,

721
00:38:17.639 --> 00:38:20.599
<v Speaker 2>it's going to be a situation where the Dodgers have

722
00:38:20.719 --> 00:38:24.199
<v Speaker 2>to get to Darvish early. Once he settles in on

723
00:38:24.320 --> 00:38:27.719
<v Speaker 2>three or four pitches, he's really hard to beat. Let's

724
00:38:27.760 --> 00:38:30.679
<v Speaker 2>go out to Granada Hills, Ed, you're on Dodger Talk.

725
00:38:30.719 --> 00:38:31.360
<v Speaker 2>How you doing ed?

726
00:38:32.800 --> 00:38:34.000
<v Speaker 8>Hey, I'm doing good, Dave.

727
00:38:34.119 --> 00:38:36.440
<v Speaker 14>Thank you much, appreciate it. Thank you for telling my call.

728
00:38:36.480 --> 00:38:38.039
<v Speaker 17>I just want to say it was good to see

729
00:38:38.039 --> 00:38:42.039
<v Speaker 17>the Dodgers play small ball butt by Edmund. If you

730
00:38:42.719 --> 00:38:44.480
<v Speaker 17>look back at it, he was safe.

731
00:38:44.719 --> 00:38:46.159
<v Speaker 14>But move the ball around.

732
00:38:46.639 --> 00:38:48.800
<v Speaker 17>You know, Otani goes up there. He didn't need to

733
00:38:48.880 --> 00:38:51.119
<v Speaker 17>hit a home run, gets a single, scores a run.

734
00:38:51.360 --> 00:38:54.559
<v Speaker 17>And I think this changed in the game yesterday when

735
00:38:54.639 --> 00:38:57.000
<v Speaker 17>Dave Roberts went out to the mound and left Buehler

736
00:38:57.119 --> 00:38:59.559
<v Speaker 17>in there to be able to face that next batter.

737
00:39:00.159 --> 00:39:04.119
<v Speaker 17>Changed the whole dynamic. Even though the Dodgers lost, I

738
00:39:04.119 --> 00:39:05.880
<v Speaker 17>think they won the series right there.

739
00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:09.840
<v Speaker 2>All right. Thanks for the phone call, Ed, appreciate it.

740
00:39:09.840 --> 00:39:13.079
<v Speaker 2>It was a game where the Dodgers had that two

741
00:39:13.239 --> 00:39:16.639
<v Speaker 2>strike approach that we were talking about last night. The

742
00:39:16.719 --> 00:39:20.320
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers cannot try to swing for the fences because that

743
00:39:20.440 --> 00:39:23.719
<v Speaker 2>doesn't work. I thought they're at bats were measured and

744
00:39:23.760 --> 00:39:25.960
<v Speaker 2>it was great to see the guys that I talked

745
00:39:26.000 --> 00:39:31.000
<v Speaker 2>about last night contributing last night, Monsey Smith, Edmund, and

746
00:39:31.079 --> 00:39:35.119
<v Speaker 2>Lux were combined zero for fifteen tonight. All of those

747
00:39:35.159 --> 00:39:38.559
<v Speaker 2>guys got big hits. Max Munsey with the leadoff double

748
00:39:38.679 --> 00:39:41.639
<v Speaker 2>right before Will Smith hit the two run home run

749
00:39:41.760 --> 00:39:45.239
<v Speaker 2>in the third inning, Tommy Edmund with a great safety

750
00:39:45.280 --> 00:39:49.199
<v Speaker 2>squeeze bunt. Gavin Lucks he was huge in the second

751
00:39:49.280 --> 00:39:52.960
<v Speaker 2>inning with a base hit by Keiky Hernandez. Gavin Lux

752
00:39:53.039 --> 00:39:56.000
<v Speaker 2>took the padres off guard and went first to third

753
00:39:56.039 --> 00:39:59.239
<v Speaker 2>when they were not really expecting that, and then hit

754
00:39:59.280 --> 00:40:01.440
<v Speaker 2>a big two run home run in the seventh inning.

755
00:40:01.599 --> 00:40:05.800
<v Speaker 2>So those guys are so vital to the Dodgers' success.

756
00:40:05.920 --> 00:40:09.239
<v Speaker 2>And Keyk a Hernandez being in the starting lineup tonight,

757
00:40:09.599 --> 00:40:12.199
<v Speaker 2>hitting eighth, he had two hits, he scored a run.

758
00:40:12.559 --> 00:40:15.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm telling you, key K a Hernandez needs to be

759
00:40:15.599 --> 00:40:20.159
<v Speaker 2>in this starting lineup if Freddie Freeman's back in there, somehow,

760
00:40:20.280 --> 00:40:23.280
<v Speaker 2>some way, Key a Hernandez needs to be either at

761
00:40:23.360 --> 00:40:27.239
<v Speaker 2>shortstop or starting in center field on Friday Night in

762
00:40:27.280 --> 00:40:31.159
<v Speaker 2>Game five. That's why key a Hernandez was brought back

763
00:40:31.280 --> 00:40:35.039
<v Speaker 2>for games like tonight, games like Friday Night. Now I've

764
00:40:35.119 --> 00:40:38.559
<v Speaker 2>referenced Joe Madden. I remember this press conference. I remember

765
00:40:38.599 --> 00:40:42.159
<v Speaker 2>it vividly. We were at Wrigley Field as the Dodgers

766
00:40:42.199 --> 00:40:46.039
<v Speaker 2>were about to take real control of that NLCS. And

767
00:40:46.119 --> 00:40:51.239
<v Speaker 2>here's Joe Madden explaining the philosophy of the Dodgers and

768
00:40:51.519 --> 00:40:54.599
<v Speaker 2>just in particular a night like tonight where they're going

769
00:40:54.639 --> 00:40:56.559
<v Speaker 2>with a bullpen game preparation.

770
00:40:57.000 --> 00:40:59.760
<v Speaker 1>They're prepared. I mean, you know, I've been through the method.

771
00:40:59.840 --> 00:41:03.760
<v Speaker 1>I understand what they're coming from. Their prep is really good.

772
00:41:04.559 --> 00:41:07.079
<v Speaker 1>They're ying and they're yang you know, whether it's right

773
00:41:07.159 --> 00:41:10.719
<v Speaker 1>or left handed hitters, it's pitchers that matchup reverse flip

774
00:41:10.760 --> 00:41:14.360
<v Speaker 1>guys all vate as fastball guys. They have pretty much

775
00:41:14.360 --> 00:41:17.880
<v Speaker 1>scripted before the game pretty well. And so for us

776
00:41:17.920 --> 00:41:19.559
<v Speaker 1>to really like we did last year, were able to

777
00:41:19.559 --> 00:41:22.000
<v Speaker 1>do more offensively against him, that's what you got to

778
00:41:22.039 --> 00:41:24.719
<v Speaker 1>do to beat them, because otherwise, once you get behind

779
00:41:25.480 --> 00:41:28.119
<v Speaker 1>and they're able to fulfill the script, and it's really

780
00:41:28.159 --> 00:41:32.519
<v Speaker 1>difficult because they do match up well. So from my

781
00:41:32.679 --> 00:41:35.559
<v Speaker 1>side to David's side, as a young manager, he's really

782
00:41:35.599 --> 00:41:37.760
<v Speaker 1>well prepared. The whole group is what they do. It's

783
00:41:38.840 --> 00:41:41.599
<v Speaker 1>it's again, it's a familiar scheme to me, and the

784
00:41:41.599 --> 00:41:43.239
<v Speaker 1>only way to beat it is that you got to

785
00:41:43.280 --> 00:41:44.719
<v Speaker 1>get on it early because if you try to beat

786
00:41:44.719 --> 00:41:45.760
<v Speaker 1>it late, it's very difficult.

787
00:41:47.239 --> 00:41:51.920
<v Speaker 2>And there was Joe Madden during the twenty seventeen NLCS,

788
00:41:52.159 --> 00:41:55.840
<v Speaker 2>and that's exactly what the Padres were not able to

789
00:41:55.920 --> 00:41:59.360
<v Speaker 2>do tonight to get ahead early. The Dodgers were the

790
00:41:59.400 --> 00:42:03.400
<v Speaker 2>team that got ahead five to nothing after three innings tonight,

791
00:42:03.480 --> 00:42:06.840
<v Speaker 2>and we're able to fulfill their script of an eight

792
00:42:07.000 --> 00:42:10.760
<v Speaker 2>pitcher bullpen game tonight. It started with Ryan Brazier, it

793
00:42:10.960 --> 00:42:13.960
<v Speaker 2>ended with Landon Nack and Evan Phillips gets the win

794
00:42:14.079 --> 00:42:17.480
<v Speaker 2>and Dylan Ceese takes the loss. Now on Game five,

795
00:42:17.800 --> 00:42:20.760
<v Speaker 2>it'll be at Dodgers Stadium Friday night. You Darvish on

796
00:42:20.760 --> 00:42:23.840
<v Speaker 2>the mound for the Padres. I am looking towards Jack

797
00:42:23.880 --> 00:42:26.920
<v Speaker 2>Flaherty being the Game five starter for the Dodgers that

798
00:42:27.039 --> 00:42:30.559
<v Speaker 2>has not been announced yet. Dave Roberts was not ready

799
00:42:30.599 --> 00:42:34.599
<v Speaker 2>to commit to Yamamoto or Jack Flaherty for Friday Night's

800
00:42:34.719 --> 00:42:38.639
<v Speaker 2>Game five. Our coverage begins at four o'clock with Morongo

801
00:42:38.679 --> 00:42:42.960
<v Speaker 2>Casino Dodgers on deck. First pitch from Dodgers Stadium at

802
00:42:43.000 --> 00:42:47.039

811
