<v Speaker 4>It's a must win win day on a five seventy

15
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:55.479
<v Speaker 4>LA Sports. No other way to put it down two

16
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:58.479
<v Speaker 4>games to one in this best of five NLGS. The

17
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:03.960
<v Speaker 4>Dodgers must win tonight in San Diego to force a

18
00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:07.599
<v Speaker 4>Game five back at Dodgers Stadium. Good morning, Tim Kate,

19
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:10.519
<v Speaker 4>Steve Saxson. You here on a five to seventy LA

20
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:14.040
<v Speaker 4>Sports reacting to Game three last night. The debacle that

21
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:17.200
<v Speaker 4>was that second inning in which the Padres scored six runs.

22
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:20.599
<v Speaker 4>The Dodgers defense has a lot to be desired in

23
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:23.400
<v Speaker 4>that second inning, and the Dodgers made a comeback thanks

24
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:26.400
<v Speaker 4>to a grand slam from Taoscar Hernandez the next inning,

25
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:29.200
<v Speaker 4>but just one base hit after the third inning for

26
00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:33.040
<v Speaker 4>the Dodgers as a twos cannot get anything going offensively

27
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:35.799
<v Speaker 4>last night after that grand slam from Tao, as the

28
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:38.400
<v Speaker 4>Dodgers lose six to five and now down two games

29
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:40.359
<v Speaker 4>to one in this best of five series, with Game

30
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:44.400
<v Speaker 4>four tonight a bullpen game for the Dodgers Saxy. What meanwhile,

31
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:48.040
<v Speaker 4>Dylan sees on three days rest will be going for

32
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:51.120
<v Speaker 4>the San Diego Padres Mike Shilt if he were at

33
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:53.079
<v Speaker 4>a poker table right now, you kind of feel like

34
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:56.079
<v Speaker 4>he's pushing his chips all in as he wants this

35
00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:58.480
<v Speaker 4>thing to be over with with his best starter on

36
00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:02.000
<v Speaker 4>the mound, even though he's going on really short rest.

37
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:05.200
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, go well, go ahead and push those chips in,

38
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:09.199
<v Speaker 5>because I think this advantage goes to the Dodgers. A

39
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:13.080
<v Speaker 5>fresh guy out there on the mound with Dylan Cees

40
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:15.599
<v Speaker 5>certainly is going to be the case, because three days

41
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:18.080
<v Speaker 5>rest much different than when you get the five days,

42
00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:20.479
<v Speaker 5>especially if you tack on the course of the season.

43
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:23.080
<v Speaker 5>This could wear on him pretty quick. The Dodgers could

44
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:25.800
<v Speaker 5>get to him early. And remember the bullpen game is

45
00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:29.560
<v Speaker 5>it can be a monster for the opposing team because

46
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:31.919
<v Speaker 5>you know, you see a guy for an inning or

47
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:34.479
<v Speaker 5>two and then he's gone. You got to re set

48
00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:36.840
<v Speaker 5>for the next guy. You gotta get you know, dialed

49
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:39.120
<v Speaker 5>into him, and then he's gone. The only the only

50
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:42.240
<v Speaker 5>question is is there going to be one link in

51
00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:45.400
<v Speaker 5>that chain that happens to break. If that's if that happens,

52
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:47.919
<v Speaker 5>then everything can come tumbling down. And that's the risk

53
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:49.159
<v Speaker 5>you take with the Penn game.

54
00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:53.000
<v Speaker 4>Dylan Cees pitched Game one on Saturday night at Dodgers Stadium.

55
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:55.639
<v Speaker 4>The Dodgers came back and won that game seven to five,

56
00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:58.879
<v Speaker 4>but Dylan Cees win three in a third innings, gave

57
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:03.240
<v Speaker 4>up five runs on six hits, struck out five walk

58
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:06.439
<v Speaker 4>to but he threw eighty two pitches. And this was

59
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:11.319
<v Speaker 4>on Saturday night, so he's had Sunday, Monday, Tuesday to

60
00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:15.000
<v Speaker 4>get rested and come back tonight. It's short rest, it's

61
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:18.080
<v Speaker 4>late in the season. It's not like he threw fifty

62
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:20.960
<v Speaker 4>pitches and came out in a situation in which they

63
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:23.319
<v Speaker 4>were trying to rest him for a possible Game four

64
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:26.159
<v Speaker 4>or five. He threw eighty two pitches, and now he's

65
00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:28.639
<v Speaker 4>coming back on three days rest to come out against

66
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:32.879
<v Speaker 4>a Dodgers team that faced him pretty well on Saturday night.

67
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:35.080
<v Speaker 4>It's not like he's stimy them and had their number,

68
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:36.599
<v Speaker 4>and he's gonna come back and do more of the

69
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:40.120
<v Speaker 4>same like you Darvish did in Game two. The Dodgers

70
00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:41.759
<v Speaker 4>have seen him a lot in the last two weeks.

71
00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:43.960
<v Speaker 4>They saw him weeks ago Dodger Stadium in the final

72
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:47.439
<v Speaker 4>season of the final regular season meeting between these two teams.

73
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:49.919
<v Speaker 4>They're gonna see Dylan Ceaes now for the third time

74
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:50.639
<v Speaker 4>in three weeks.

75
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:53.879
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, he's not a secret anymore in the amount of

76
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:56.919
<v Speaker 5>times that he's gone out there to answer the call.

77
00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:58.960
<v Speaker 5>He takes the ball all the time, thirty three starts

78
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:01.719
<v Speaker 5>the last two years. He's a guy that's near two

79
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:03.520
<v Speaker 5>hundred innings the last couple of years, one hundred and eight,

80
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:06.120
<v Speaker 5>little over one hundred and eighty nine this year. And

81
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:08.680
<v Speaker 5>you know he can get in fits and bouts with

82
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:11.080
<v Speaker 5>trouble as far as throwing strikes. There's a couple of

83
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:13.240
<v Speaker 5>years not too long ago, where he's led the league

84
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:15.879
<v Speaker 5>in walks. So he's the kind of a guy that

85
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:17.759
<v Speaker 5>you could wear on him a little bit.

86
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:18.399
<v Speaker 3>A little bit.

87
00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:21.519
<v Speaker 5>You mentioned how many pitches he had in his last game.

88
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:24.120
<v Speaker 5>He can get into it two times like this where

89
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:26.360
<v Speaker 5>the Dodgers can stretch him out a bit, and if

90
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:27.720
<v Speaker 5>that's the case, that'll be good for them.

91
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:30.519
<v Speaker 4>David Veasse, our Dodger insider, who was up late last

92
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:33.319
<v Speaker 4>night taking your calls on Dodger Talk and doing Dodger postgame,

93
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:36.759
<v Speaker 4>will join us in about twenty five minutes from San Diego.

94
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:39.800
<v Speaker 4>We'll have Dodgers on deck starting at five pm. First pitch.

95
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:42.720
<v Speaker 4>Game four tonight is at six to eight. Dylan c

96
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:44.759
<v Speaker 4>who we're talking about, on the mound for the Padres.

97
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:46.639
<v Speaker 4>The Dodgers are going to go with an opener and

98
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:49.199
<v Speaker 4>what will be a bullpen game for Dave Roberts in

99
00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:51.120
<v Speaker 4>this game. For let's go back out to the phones.

100
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:54.160
<v Speaker 4>A lot of Dodger fans passionate about their Dodger team.

101
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:55.959
<v Speaker 4>We love that and certainly want to weigh in and

102
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:58.279
<v Speaker 4>react to what happened last night and what has happened

103
00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:01.199
<v Speaker 4>so far in this NLD. Yes, Oscar and north Ridge

104
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:03.519
<v Speaker 4>thanks for being patient on this Wednesday morning. How you doing, Oscar?

105
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:08.240
<v Speaker 6>Hey doing good fellas. One thing you guys mentioned enthusiasm

106
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:11.160
<v Speaker 6>a lot. And when you guys talked about Mookie walking

107
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:15.600
<v Speaker 6>back to the dugout after his home run, I don't

108
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:17.720
<v Speaker 6>know if anyone caught it, but you guys mentioned but

109
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:20.199
<v Speaker 6>he started walking back, and I'm like, what are you doing?

110
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:23.120
<v Speaker 6>Like why aren't you staying on base? Running the bases

111
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:25.439
<v Speaker 6>kind of like standing your ground in a sense when

112
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:28.600
<v Speaker 6>they're reviewing a bang bang play at the base.

113
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:29.600
<v Speaker 7>I don't know.

114
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:33.319
<v Speaker 6>I'll let you guys talk on that. But aside from that, sex,

115
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:35.639
<v Speaker 6>I love you man. When I imitate my dad. You're

116
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:37.079
<v Speaker 6>one of the guys on the list of the old

117
00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:41.000
<v Speaker 6>school Dodgers, and as a fan, you you make me

118
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:46.759
<v Speaker 6>feel better about today and hopefully Friday, so the Dodgers

119
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:50.600
<v Speaker 6>can do it. Last season, last regular season series with

120
00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:53.399
<v Speaker 6>the Padres, we lost game one. People were freaking out.

121
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:56.040
<v Speaker 6>I was part of the Panic Brothers myself, and they

122
00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:59.040
<v Speaker 6>came back and won both games. But but yeah, go Dodgers.

123
00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:00.319
<v Speaker 6>I love you guys, all right.

124
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:03.040
<v Speaker 4>Appreciate the phone call, Oscar. So I'm doing in gloom

125
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:04.759
<v Speaker 4>in Saxy you're mister positive.

126
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:07.319
<v Speaker 5>Okay, yeah, Timmy, that's why we we kind of sharpen

127
00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:07.680
<v Speaker 5>each other.

128
00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:10.959
<v Speaker 3>Okay, right, all right, Darkness, I get you going yesterday

129
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:12.680
<v Speaker 3>with that text, Bro. I hope that I know you did.

130
00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:14.720
<v Speaker 4>You got me fired up. You got me fired up.

131
00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:16.240
<v Speaker 4>And then all of a sudden they come back in there.

132
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:18.480
<v Speaker 4>It's a six y five game. I'm like, oh, yeah,

133
00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:21.360
<v Speaker 4>here we go, here we go, and then the Dodgers'

134
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:23.199
<v Speaker 4>offense disappeared like a magician.

135
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:26.000
<v Speaker 5>Tim Don't you think doesn't doesn't our fans think as

136
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:29.279
<v Speaker 5>well that man, it's time for a shift, isn't it.

137
00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:31.240
<v Speaker 5>Don't you think some things are gonna start coming the

138
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:31.759
<v Speaker 5>Dodgers way?

139
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:31.920
<v Speaker 8>Now?

140
00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:34.959
<v Speaker 5>I mean these things go in cycles, so obviously, I

141
00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:38.040
<v Speaker 5>mean it's so apparent that throughout the course of the year,

142
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:41.439
<v Speaker 5>it's it's it happens so many times, it happens every time.

143
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:44.839
<v Speaker 5>So you just wonder when the clock is going to

144
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:46.920
<v Speaker 5>tick the other way, you know, tick for the Dodgers,

145
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:50.040
<v Speaker 5>it might start to I got a good feeling about it.

146
00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:52.240
<v Speaker 5>I just I just do. I think this Penn game

147
00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:52.920
<v Speaker 5>is what they need.

148
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:56.759
<v Speaker 4>Let's hope it happens tonight. Richard and the OC joins

149
00:06:56.839 --> 00:06:58.279
<v Speaker 4>us here on Saxon Kates in the morning.

150
00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:00.199
<v Speaker 3>Hi, Richard, hey to.

151
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:02.120
<v Speaker 7>Go and listen Sellas. I just want to let you know,

152
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:04.639
<v Speaker 7>I just I'm not a Dodger fan. I just started

153
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:08.040
<v Speaker 7>listening to your radio station and I seem to turn

154
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:10.120
<v Speaker 7>it back to you guys all the time. So one

155
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:13.360
<v Speaker 7>of your guys prompts on that. Anyway, I just what

156
00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:16.720
<v Speaker 7>I think your Dodgers should do is stop always worrying

157
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:20.040
<v Speaker 7>about every time you talk about Altani. You guys mentioned

158
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:23.480
<v Speaker 7>the Angels, and you guys are like, you know, you

159
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:26.680
<v Speaker 7>and Angels have won the same amount of real series

160
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:31.120
<v Speaker 7>in the last twenty five years. You guys, you guys

161
00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:33.879
<v Speaker 7>needed to settle down and do your own business, stop

162
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:36.800
<v Speaker 7>talking to other teams, and go win something, all.

163
00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:39.800
<v Speaker 4>Right, Richard appreciate the phone call. UH, an Angel fan,

164
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:42.879
<v Speaker 4>maybe a little disheartened to see, oh showy Otani wearing

165
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:44.439
<v Speaker 4>Dodger blue now and having the season then.

166
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:46.519
<v Speaker 5>I don't know about you, but I haven't had the

167
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:48.519
<v Speaker 5>Angels come out of my mouth one time to help you.

168
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:48.600
<v Speaker 9>No.

169
00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:50.600
<v Speaker 4>I think I mentioned the fact that he spent six

170
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:53.959
<v Speaker 4>years in Anaheim and didn't make the postseason once I

171
00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:56.120
<v Speaker 4>said that, But that's just a fact, not harping on

172
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:58.519
<v Speaker 4>the fact that he wasted six years of his career

173
00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:01.040
<v Speaker 4>in Anaheim not making any posts seasons. But here he

174
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:03.480
<v Speaker 4>is in his first postseason. That's a fact. He hasn't

175
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:06.800
<v Speaker 4>played in a October game in his entire major league career,

176
00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:09.360
<v Speaker 4>which is now year number seven. This isn't a player

177
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:12.959
<v Speaker 4>freshover from Japan like a Yoshinobu Yamamoto who's now faced

178
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:16.600
<v Speaker 4>in his first October postseason and we saw the results

179
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:19.519
<v Speaker 4>in game one. Now this is a guy who's been here,

180
00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:22.319
<v Speaker 4>played in a lot of games one MVPs, and is

181
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:24.560
<v Speaker 4>now tasting his first postseason or we're seeing what he's

182
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:26.160
<v Speaker 4>doing in his first post.

183
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:27.560
<v Speaker 3>We dig the passion though he can say that, he

184
00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:28.800
<v Speaker 3>can say that that's okay.

185
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:30.959
<v Speaker 4>Appreciate the phone called Jesse and Witty or his next

186
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:34.879
<v Speaker 4>up here on a five seventy Hi Jesse, Hey.

187
00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:39.240
<v Speaker 10>Good morning guys five to nine of Athletic one sixty

188
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:42.360
<v Speaker 10>Patch show. If you guys sing.

189
00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:45.559
<v Speaker 1>Thank you guys first and foremost, I just want.

190
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:48.159
<v Speaker 10>To go ahead and say what a great job Dave

191
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:49.080
<v Speaker 10>Roberts has been doing.

192
00:08:49.799 --> 00:08:50.720
<v Speaker 1>Visit now, Walker Bule.

193
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:52.440
<v Speaker 10>I don't think he's done that throughout the whole season

194
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:55.039
<v Speaker 10>and if Brims leave him then in a big situation.

195
00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:57.720
<v Speaker 10>Was was big on my fun the way that I

196
00:08:57.759 --> 00:09:01.759
<v Speaker 10>saw it, especially with all the postseason blunders that he

197
00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:05.720
<v Speaker 10>had in the past, but but also even game one,

198
00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:08.960
<v Speaker 10>all the right moves that he made, everything seemed to

199
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:12.200
<v Speaker 10>work out. But man, the defense that we had in

200
00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:14.519
<v Speaker 10>game two on a game six. But but it all

201
00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:17.720
<v Speaker 10>started off with honestly, with that Manny Machado that that

202
00:09:17.799 --> 00:09:19.960
<v Speaker 10>they say Walker Bueler had him for the k and

203
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:22.159
<v Speaker 10>he just reached out and got one. And it just

204
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:23.759
<v Speaker 10>baseball God hates us right now.

205
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Man.

206
00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:26.399
<v Speaker 10>But hopefully we can turn around in this game and

207
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:29.200
<v Speaker 10>uh they show some emotion, some real fire, some emotion,

208
00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:32.399
<v Speaker 10>especially coming from rookie Beds, show Hey, they need to

209
00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:34.240
<v Speaker 10>get it and get in front of the lead. Uh,

210
00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:37.279
<v Speaker 10>they need to get out there and uh just just

211
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:40.559
<v Speaker 10>show out man, shut up the crowd early, and let's

212
00:09:40.559 --> 00:09:43.320
<v Speaker 10>get this game and bring this back to LA and

213
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:46.799
<v Speaker 10>then finish it out. Man a little brother, man, we

214
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:48.360
<v Speaker 10>need to We need to smack him in the butt.

215
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:48.559
<v Speaker 1>Man.

216
00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:50.360
<v Speaker 10>Someone's boss baby.

217
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:50.960
<v Speaker 3>No doubt about it.

218
00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:53.720
<v Speaker 4>Jesse appreciate he brought up something interesting. I'm glad he did.

219
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:56.559
<v Speaker 4>In the fifth inning, Walker Buehler was back out there

220
00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:58.559
<v Speaker 4>for the Dodgers. It's still a six to five game,

221
00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:02.759
<v Speaker 4>and Dave Robbers came out of the dugout. And when

222
00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:05.600
<v Speaker 4>Dave comes out of the dugout, it's to pull a pitcher.

223
00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:07.600
<v Speaker 4>I mean, Mark Pryor, the pitching coach is the one

224
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:09.600
<v Speaker 4>that comes out and talks strategy. If it's a pin

225
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:11.519
<v Speaker 4>hitter or if it's a situation we want to just

226
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:13.279
<v Speaker 4>got to get a break in the game and stop

227
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:16.519
<v Speaker 4>some momentum. That's Mark Pryor. But when Dave Roberts comes out,

228
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:19.519
<v Speaker 4>he's making a change. And Dave Roberts came out of

229
00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:22.720
<v Speaker 4>the dugout and you can see it in Walker Bueller's face.

230
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:25.720
<v Speaker 4>He put the glove over his face and probably mumbled something.

231
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:29.879
<v Speaker 4>And when Dave Roberts came out, he kept talking through

232
00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:33.000
<v Speaker 4>his glove to Dave and communicating with his manager, and

233
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:35.639
<v Speaker 4>Dave Roberts shook his head. There was a conversation back

234
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:38.840
<v Speaker 4>and forth. Will Smith got invall briefly, and Dave Roberts

235
00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:42.200
<v Speaker 4>turned around and went back to the Dodgers dugout. He

236
00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:44.759
<v Speaker 4>left Walker Buehller out there and I don't mean that

237
00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:45.440
<v Speaker 4>in a bad way.

238
00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:48.840
<v Speaker 3>No, I loved it. I love it. I love it.

239
00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:52.600
<v Speaker 5>That shows you, That shows you that Dave Roberts is

240
00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:55.960
<v Speaker 5>not so set in his ways. He's going to be

241
00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:58.320
<v Speaker 5>a little malleable with this whole thing and say, Okay,

242
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:00.480
<v Speaker 5>he might be thought about taking a out when he's

243
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:03.799
<v Speaker 5>going out there, but guess what with the body language

244
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:07.240
<v Speaker 5>with what would you know Walker was maybe saying to him,

245
00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:09.600
<v Speaker 5>he bought it and it was the right move.

246
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:11.919
<v Speaker 3>It was the right move. So I love it.

247
00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:13.720
<v Speaker 5>I love the fact that you know he's not that

248
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:17.440
<v Speaker 5>set that the things can change, and he listened.

249
00:11:17.159 --> 00:11:17.720
<v Speaker 3>To his player.

250
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:21.440
<v Speaker 5>He believes in what his players are putting out there,

251
00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:22.600
<v Speaker 5>and so I love it.

252
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:23.600
<v Speaker 3>I thought it was a great move.

253
00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:26.039
<v Speaker 4>And it wasn't against the bottom of the lineup of

254
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:29.159
<v Speaker 4>the Padres, it wasn't the lineup turning over. It was

255
00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:33.399
<v Speaker 4>to tease Profar Machado, Merrill and Boguard's who he faced

256
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:35.799
<v Speaker 4>in that fifth inning, and he got to stay in

257
00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:39.519
<v Speaker 4>third time around face. Absolutely love it. It's one of

258
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:42.720
<v Speaker 4>those gut decisions because we talk about it all the time. Zaxy,

259
00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:45.360
<v Speaker 4>the analytics, the computers will tell.

260
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:46.080
<v Speaker 3>You take him out.

261
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:48.360
<v Speaker 5>By the way, you know what, that is so overrated,

262
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:51.639
<v Speaker 5>that that is so overrated, that thing about well.

263
00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:54.759
<v Speaker 3>Third time around, you can't pick that is kiss my, you.

264
00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:58.240
<v Speaker 5>Know what that is so overrated, so so in that theory,

265
00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:01.320
<v Speaker 5>no picture would ever go seven innings, no pitcher would

266
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:02.320
<v Speaker 5>ever have a complete game.

267
00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:05.120
<v Speaker 3>You know what, that's crazy. You know another thing is crazy.

268
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:07.360
<v Speaker 5>Sometimes these guys are right on the verge of pitching

269
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:09.320
<v Speaker 5>a no hitter, and they bring him out of the game,

270
00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:11.440
<v Speaker 5>just sitting the dugout. Let him finish the game.

271
00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:14.919
<v Speaker 4>Come on, Saxy, pitch coowns, Come on, were crazy?

272
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:15.559
<v Speaker 3>Another thing?

273
00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:19.360
<v Speaker 5>Four and two thirds? The guy's rolling and his they

274
00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:20.679
<v Speaker 5>go and they bring him out of the game. Are

275
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:23.720
<v Speaker 5>you that deep? Are you that smart? Let me he

276
00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:24.639
<v Speaker 5>can't get one more.

277
00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:27.320
<v Speaker 4>Out, Let him get the let him get the decision,

278
00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:30.279
<v Speaker 4>get them all out. Yes, let's go to Paul and

279
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:33.080
<v Speaker 4>Huntington Beach has been waiting patiently. Thanks for joining us

280
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:34.960
<v Speaker 4>here on Saxon Kate's and A and my Paul.

281
00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:38.279
<v Speaker 11>Hey man, they say my call. Guys, appreciate it. You know,

282
00:12:38.360 --> 00:12:41.320
<v Speaker 11>I can't say enough about Walker Bueler last night. It's

283
00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:43.759
<v Speaker 11>not like the padres put on a laser show that

284
00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:46.720
<v Speaker 11>was ground ball after freaking ground ball after ground ball.

285
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:48.799
<v Speaker 11>And the thing about it is is that so much

286
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:51.320
<v Speaker 11>of like you know, fandom, you know, get on the

287
00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:54.840
<v Speaker 11>Dodgers about their emotion and their fiery. There is no

288
00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:58.120
<v Speaker 11>one on the whole damn roster more fiery than Walker Buehler.

289
00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:01.559
<v Speaker 11>And that dude kept his crap together when the world

290
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:04.480
<v Speaker 11>was falling apart, and all he did was just keep

291
00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:08.240
<v Speaker 11>on grinding and keep on dealing. I can't say enough

292
00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:10.840
<v Speaker 11>about walk Wood he did last night, and I mean

293
00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:13.639
<v Speaker 11>to not be able to spit the hook as a killer,

294
00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:17.039
<v Speaker 11>but dang dude, that guy was freaking awesome and I'm

295
00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:19.519
<v Speaker 11>so proud of him, and I hope he continues to

296
00:13:19.519 --> 00:13:21.480
<v Speaker 11>be a Dodger. But you know what, man, this Dodger

297
00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:25.080
<v Speaker 11>team all darn year. Look, when you take it to Dodgers,

298
00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:26.600
<v Speaker 11>you got to speak out of both sides of your mouth.

299
00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:29.200
<v Speaker 11>They won ninety eight games, number one seed, best record,

300
00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:32.840
<v Speaker 11>all the things, and they were so freaking frustrating all

301
00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:35.120
<v Speaker 11>season long. You would think this team would win one

302
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:37.840
<v Speaker 11>hundred and twenty games as good as they are, and

303
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:41.440
<v Speaker 11>last night his case in point. They are right there

304
00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:43.840
<v Speaker 11>on the verge of taking a game and then go

305
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:47.519
<v Speaker 11>to sleep. That being said, as frustrated as I am,

306
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:49.799
<v Speaker 11>and I want to throw these guys overboard. That tells

307
00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:52.039
<v Speaker 11>me they're likely going to win tonight. So there you go,

308
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:52.639
<v Speaker 11>have a good one.

309
00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:53.559
<v Speaker 3>Appreciate it, Paul.

310
00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:56.159
<v Speaker 4>He just brought up something interesting, and I'm glad he

311
00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:59.240
<v Speaker 4>did because so much happened last night. And these callers

312
00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:00.840
<v Speaker 4>have been great so far this morning, and love it,

313
00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:03.000
<v Speaker 4>and they keep jarring these things that I'm kinda keep

314
00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:06.720
<v Speaker 4>bringing up to you, Saxy. Is is the momentum the

315
00:14:06.759 --> 00:14:10.519
<v Speaker 4>Dodgers down six to one, ta Oscar hits the Grand Slam,

316
00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:14.480
<v Speaker 4>It's six to five. Changes it, but absolutely, but the

317
00:14:14.559 --> 00:14:17.759
<v Speaker 4>momentum was lost after that. Walker Buehler kept it going

318
00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:19.919
<v Speaker 4>by putting up a zero in the third, by putting

319
00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:21.799
<v Speaker 4>up a zero in the fourth, by putting up a

320
00:14:21.879 --> 00:14:24.279
<v Speaker 4>zero in the fifth inning. He did his job the

321
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:27.879
<v Speaker 4>rest of the way after getting no help in the

322
00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:30.799
<v Speaker 4>second inning. Yeah, and the Dodgers didn't build on it.

323
00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:34.679
<v Speaker 4>They did not keep tacking on runs, keep getting hits

324
00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:37.639
<v Speaker 4>and getting after the padres true, And you.

325
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:41.000
<v Speaker 5>Know, I love what Walker did yesterday. You know, you

326
00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:42.799
<v Speaker 5>look at the numbers, you say, huh, yeah, but you

327
00:14:42.840 --> 00:14:44.360
<v Speaker 5>know what, it's not all about that. There was a

328
00:14:44.360 --> 00:14:46.519
<v Speaker 5>lot of soft hit balls that could have.

329
00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:48.799
<v Speaker 3>Been turned around. You know, injuries were the reason too.

330
00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:51.159
<v Speaker 5>I don't want to make excuses, but I'm saying I

331
00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:54.200
<v Speaker 5>like the body language of walk Walker wanting to stay

332
00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:56.360
<v Speaker 5>in there. He's a fighter, and I'll tell you what,

333
00:14:56.480 --> 00:14:59.159
<v Speaker 5>he looked very healthy to me as far as he

334
00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:02.879
<v Speaker 5>was attacking the own. His curveball had a lot of

335
00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:06.039
<v Speaker 5>bite and depth on it, and his slider was great. Look,

336
00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:09.799
<v Speaker 5>you can you can be very very successful with three

337
00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:12.639
<v Speaker 5>good pitches in the big leagues. And I think if

338
00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:14.919
<v Speaker 5>he's he's he's kind of rounding those things out. I

339
00:15:14.919 --> 00:15:18.039
<v Speaker 5>think his fastball at times is great, and especially when

340
00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:20.559
<v Speaker 5>he pitches that ball up and in to left tanders,

341
00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:22.840
<v Speaker 5>he kind of stifles what they can do. And and

342
00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:25.600
<v Speaker 5>I just think, I hope the Dodgers sign him and

343
00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:27.519
<v Speaker 5>take him on for you know, they're gonna get a

344
00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:29.120
<v Speaker 5>good deal on him. Walker knows it because of the

345
00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:32.080
<v Speaker 5>injuries and whatnot, But but get him there, keep more.

346
00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:35.440
<v Speaker 5>He's comfortable, and you're gonna see this guy really turn

347
00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:37.000
<v Speaker 5>into something great the next five years.

348
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:37.879
<v Speaker 3>I really believe that.

349
00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:40.679
<v Speaker 4>It must have been adrenaline that was pumping last night

350
00:15:40.679 --> 00:15:42.799
<v Speaker 4>because his fastball had a little bit more life on it.

351
00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:45.039
<v Speaker 3>He was phenomenal to me.

352
00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:49.159
<v Speaker 4>Ninety seven win. He hasn't been getting up in the

353
00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:52.120
<v Speaker 4>mid all he hit nineties. I think he hit ninety

354
00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:54.480
<v Speaker 4>seven a couple of times. And and what I like

355
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:56.679
<v Speaker 4>best about is, you know, he was mostly working the

356
00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:59.679
<v Speaker 4>fastball in the cutter or the slider, if you will,

357
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:02.440
<v Speaker 4>and then he started throwing that twelve to six curveball

358
00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:06.559
<v Speaker 4>is short and snappy with depth to it. That's a

359
00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:09.120
<v Speaker 4>great pitch for him, especially when he hits the bottom

360
00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:10.840
<v Speaker 4>of the zone against right handed hitters.

361
00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:13.080
<v Speaker 3>I love that. I think that's a great pitch for him.

362
00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:15.440
<v Speaker 5>And if he can start, you know, rounding these into

363
00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:18.200
<v Speaker 5>form and use them regularly off of each other, I

364
00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:19.480
<v Speaker 5>mean no telling where he's gonna go.

365
00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:22.159
<v Speaker 4>Eight sixty six, nine eighty seven, two five seventy is

366
00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:24.399
<v Speaker 4>our number. We got a lot of Dodger fans on

367
00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:26.200
<v Speaker 4>hold that want a way in and we love it.

368
00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:28.639
<v Speaker 4>We will love the passion, we love the excitement, We

369
00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:32.240
<v Speaker 4>love your fandom for Dodger baseball, and we're gonna get

370
00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:34.399
<v Speaker 4>to you. David Vesin is gonna check in as well,

371
00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:36.440
<v Speaker 4>it's Sax and Case and the Am.

372
00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:38.240
<v Speaker 3>We react to Game three last night.

373
00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:41.159
<v Speaker 4>What happened in the second inning, the Dodgers inability to

374
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:44.360
<v Speaker 4>get a hit after that tay Oscar Hernandez grand slam

375
00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:47.000
<v Speaker 4>in the third. They had the opportunities to get back

376
00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:48.919
<v Speaker 4>in the game. It was a one run game from

377
00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:51.000
<v Speaker 4>the third in and on and they just could not

378
00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:53.759
<v Speaker 4>tack on more. We'll get to your phone calls David

379
00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:57.759
<v Speaker 4>Vase and Steve's keys for Game four. It's all coming

380
00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:06.559
<v Speaker 4>up right here in m FI seventy LA Sports, Sax

381
00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:11.480
<v Speaker 4>and kateson AM here on five seventy LA sports. Must

382
00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:14.480
<v Speaker 4>win game tonight for the Dodgers Game four, the NLDS

383
00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:16.920
<v Speaker 4>first pitch is six eight right here on your home

384
00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:19.960
<v Speaker 4>a show, Hey Otani and the Dodgers a FFI seventy

385
00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:22.160
<v Speaker 4>LA Sports coming up at the top of the hour.

386
00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:25.119
<v Speaker 4>It's calling Cowherd at now and Rogan and Rodney takeover

387
00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:28.319
<v Speaker 4>Petrol some money, a flex alert starting at two leading

388
00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:30.599
<v Speaker 4>up to Morongo Casino. Dodgers on deck and five o'clock

389
00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:33.519
<v Speaker 4>and again first pitch, must win Game four is at

390
00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:36.319
<v Speaker 4>six oh eight. I was just thinking during the break here,

391
00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:40.720
<v Speaker 4>Saxy Dylan Cees short rest through eighty five pitches on Saturday.

392
00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:44.720
<v Speaker 4>Ye I know you, I know you hate taking pitches

393
00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:47.160
<v Speaker 4>because you only get really one good one per it bad.

394
00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:50.480
<v Speaker 4>And we've talked about this, but man, it is is

395
00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:54.920
<v Speaker 4>maybe a strategy with Dylan Cees not to swing early

396
00:17:54.960 --> 00:17:56.960
<v Speaker 4>in the account. Maybe get that pitch count up and

397
00:17:57.000 --> 00:17:59.440
<v Speaker 4>maybe tonight's the night you'll work him to get him

398
00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:01.680
<v Speaker 4>out of there. He's on short rest, and maybe he

399
00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:03.680
<v Speaker 4>doesn't have a lot to offer.

400
00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:05.279
<v Speaker 3>I understand.

401
00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:09.759
<v Speaker 5>Look lots of times first time up, take a strike,

402
00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:11.799
<v Speaker 5>you know, just to kind of get your bearings and

403
00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:15.839
<v Speaker 5>make sure. But after that, no more cookie giveaways. I'm

404
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:18.279
<v Speaker 5>not giving cookies away. After that they throw me a cookie,

405
00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:20.880
<v Speaker 5>I'm gonna chomp, you know what I mean. You may

406
00:18:20.920 --> 00:18:24.480
<v Speaker 5>not get another cookie, you may get sauerkraut. And you

407
00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:26.599
<v Speaker 5>don't want to be hitting pitches that are on the

408
00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:30.279
<v Speaker 5>fringes of the plate, you know, just because I can

409
00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:34.160
<v Speaker 5>go three too, you know, I guarantee the pitchers are phenomenal,

410
00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:36.680
<v Speaker 5>but they can't throw a strike where they want it

411
00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:39.400
<v Speaker 5>every single time, So they're gonna go through times where

412
00:18:39.440 --> 00:18:41.559
<v Speaker 5>they're gonna lose it a little bit. They're gonna just

413
00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:43.160
<v Speaker 5>miss on the outside part of the plate, and that's

414
00:18:43.160 --> 00:18:45.480
<v Speaker 5>when you put the pressure on him. Drive that count deep,

415
00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:49.039
<v Speaker 5>love it, absolutely, I'm all for getting deep in counts.

416
00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:51.319
<v Speaker 5>The more you see I get the strategy, man, you know,

417
00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:53.319
<v Speaker 5>put the pressure on the guy, get him out, get

418
00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:54.640
<v Speaker 5>into the bullpen, do the same thing.

419
00:18:54.640 --> 00:18:57.240
<v Speaker 3>Then I get it. But boy, you don't.

420
00:18:57.480 --> 00:18:59.920
<v Speaker 5>You can get him out of the game by hitting

421
00:18:59.920 --> 00:19:01.519
<v Speaker 5>one in the gap and then hitting one over the

422
00:19:01.519 --> 00:19:04.319
<v Speaker 5>fence because he laid it right in there just as fast,

423
00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:06.359
<v Speaker 5>a lot quicker than you can by you know, driving

424
00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:06.880
<v Speaker 5>up the count.

425
00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:09.720
<v Speaker 3>So it just depends. It's a it's a mixture of both.

426
00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:13.680
<v Speaker 4>Speaking of pressure as a hitter at the plate, and

427
00:19:13.720 --> 00:19:16.559
<v Speaker 4>you're in this situation and it's a must win game

428
00:19:16.640 --> 00:19:20.240
<v Speaker 4>and you're trying to do something to spark this offense,

429
00:19:20.279 --> 00:19:22.759
<v Speaker 4>whether it's drive the ball, get on base, whatever, as

430
00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:25.680
<v Speaker 4>a hitter, and there's now maybe more pressure on you

431
00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:28.799
<v Speaker 4>to do that because every bat, every out means so

432
00:19:28.960 --> 00:19:31.640
<v Speaker 4>much now in a must win game. Four for the

433
00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:34.680
<v Speaker 4>Dodgers is that I just hope this doesn't change their

434
00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:37.839
<v Speaker 4>approach at the plate, meaning we start seeing Dodger hitters

435
00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:41.039
<v Speaker 4>chasing pitches because when Choeo'tani starts swinging at pitches out

436
00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:44.000
<v Speaker 4>of the zone and trying to do quote unquote too much,

437
00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:48.039
<v Speaker 4>that's where he gets into trouble and expanding the zone.

438
00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:50.519
<v Speaker 4>He starts swinging at pitches he shouldn't be and he

439
00:19:50.559 --> 00:19:53.000
<v Speaker 4>strikes out. And I hope that Dodger hitters and it

440
00:19:53.079 --> 00:19:55.039
<v Speaker 4>maybe it's just something you can't think about her or

441
00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:57.440
<v Speaker 4>worry about. But as a hitter, Saxy, are you thinking

442
00:19:57.480 --> 00:19:59.200
<v Speaker 4>about that at the plate? Like, my gosh, I need

443
00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:01.359
<v Speaker 4>to get on base to do something, and you start

444
00:20:01.400 --> 00:20:02.079
<v Speaker 4>chasing pitches.

445
00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:05.359
<v Speaker 5>Okay, for first of all, about the pressure part that

446
00:20:05.440 --> 00:20:08.599
<v Speaker 5>you mentioned, Oh, you're a professional baseball player and you

447
00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:11.319
<v Speaker 5>applied for the job. That comes with the job, so

448
00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:14.839
<v Speaker 5>you so she'll just live it and do it, deal

449
00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:17.519
<v Speaker 5>with it. The other thing is, do you put this

450
00:20:17.680 --> 00:20:20.160
<v Speaker 5>additional amount of pressure on you trying not to swing

451
00:20:20.200 --> 00:20:21.880
<v Speaker 5>the balls out of the zone. Yeah, that's that's the

452
00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:24.200
<v Speaker 5>optimal thing to do. Is you want to be aggressive

453
00:20:24.279 --> 00:20:27.000
<v Speaker 5>in your zone? Only if wouldn't it be great? Wouldn't

454
00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:28.920
<v Speaker 5>it be heaven on Earth? If you could say, hey,

455
00:20:29.319 --> 00:20:31.559
<v Speaker 5>I won't I won't go after one pitch out of

456
00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:34.240
<v Speaker 5>the zone. Well, look, there's times when you got two strikes,

457
00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:36.640
<v Speaker 5>you got to protect a plate. There's so many times

458
00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:39.720
<v Speaker 5>I remember in my career that you know, I had

459
00:20:39.759 --> 00:20:41.640
<v Speaker 5>to get a hit on a ball that wasn't a strike.

460
00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:45.119
<v Speaker 5>Sometimes you that happens. You have to be able to

461
00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:47.720
<v Speaker 5>do that, but you don't want to. Your goal is

462
00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:50.880
<v Speaker 5>to be effective in the zone. Let the other pitches

463
00:20:50.880 --> 00:20:53.119
<v Speaker 5>go hit strikes. You hear it all the time, but

464
00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:55.599
<v Speaker 5>it's easier said than done. Man, Hitting a ball is

465
00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:56.319
<v Speaker 5>really hard to do.

466
00:20:56.920 --> 00:20:59.279
<v Speaker 4>Rick and Sam Pedro has been patient and we appreciate that.

467
00:20:59.400 --> 00:21:00.279
<v Speaker 3>Rick, thanks for it.

468
00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:02.240
<v Speaker 4>Is here on a FI seventy l A Sports on

469
00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:02.920
<v Speaker 4>this Wednesday morning.

470
00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:08.400
<v Speaker 12>Hi Rick, Good morning gentlemen. Yeah, Hey, tonight tonight die

471
00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:09.559
<v Speaker 12>hired Dodger guys.

472
00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:12.160
<v Speaker 11>Uh, I think we're gonna do it tonight.

473
00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:14.079
<v Speaker 12>I agree with you, guys, and I think whoever wins

474
00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:17.599
<v Speaker 12>this series has a great chance of going all the way.

475
00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:19.880
<v Speaker 12>But I gotta say, you got to tip your hat

476
00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:23.920
<v Speaker 12>to the Padres management man. They have made some incredible moves,

477
00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:26.519
<v Speaker 12>getting off of Soto, getting an elite guy like King,

478
00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:29.720
<v Speaker 12>guys like Maryland Tatise up through the ranks and made

479
00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:33.759
<v Speaker 12>a couple of mid season moves excellent and they're healthy,

480
00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:36.119
<v Speaker 12>and uh, I think you gotta you gotta say that

481
00:21:36.200 --> 00:21:39.599
<v Speaker 12>the management has been uh has been fantastic for them.

482
00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:42.119
<v Speaker 12>So I think I think the winner of this series

483
00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:43.559
<v Speaker 12>has got a great chance to go all the way.

484
00:21:43.680 --> 00:21:45.319
<v Speaker 12>But I'm gonna stick with the Blue for now.

485
00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:46.839
<v Speaker 3>All Rick appreciate the phone call.

486
00:21:46.920 --> 00:21:49.359
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, the buttons that they pushed down there in San

487
00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:53.279
<v Speaker 4>Diego with Aj Preller their general manager moving on from Sodo,

488
00:21:53.400 --> 00:21:56.000
<v Speaker 4>what they've gotten in return from Sodo has panned out.

489
00:21:56.240 --> 00:21:58.720
<v Speaker 3>The l was great. Oh yeah, absolutely, he's.

490
00:21:58.559 --> 00:22:01.079
<v Speaker 4>Pushed all the right buttons, Yes, in putting together this

491
00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:04.039
<v Speaker 4>roster and including and bringing in Mike Schuldt as the

492
00:22:04.079 --> 00:22:06.240
<v Speaker 4>manager down there, and they just decided to part ways

493
00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:07.640
<v Speaker 4>and go to a different direction.

494
00:22:08.160 --> 00:22:08.279
<v Speaker 13>Uh.

495
00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:11.319
<v Speaker 4>And it's it's paid out. They've all the moves they've

496
00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:13.440
<v Speaker 4>made over the last decade and the regimes they've had

497
00:22:13.440 --> 00:22:16.039
<v Speaker 4>down there, things haven't worked out. And they tried and tried,

498
00:22:16.079 --> 00:22:17.920
<v Speaker 4>and they spent and they spent. But it feels like

499
00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:20.200
<v Speaker 4>they've put together something a little bit different this year.

500
00:22:20.319 --> 00:22:20.519
<v Speaker 3>Yep.

501
00:22:20.559 --> 00:22:23.480
<v Speaker 5>You can't be afraid. And they failed that front office

502
00:22:23.480 --> 00:22:26.160
<v Speaker 5>has failed miserably by in the past on the on

503
00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:28.640
<v Speaker 5>the money they've spent that did not work out, but

504
00:22:29.039 --> 00:22:30.279
<v Speaker 5>they keep slinging, man.

505
00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:32.400
<v Speaker 3>And and look what happens. Now. They've got chemistry on

506
00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:32.839
<v Speaker 3>that team.

507
00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:35.079
<v Speaker 5>They all they're all kind of the same, you know,

508
00:22:35.559 --> 00:22:38.440
<v Speaker 5>in some respects, but in other respects. They they all

509
00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:41.240
<v Speaker 5>have their their own niche. But one thing is they're

510
00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:43.680
<v Speaker 5>a little leggie on that team. And and that's the

511
00:22:43.720 --> 00:22:47.200
<v Speaker 5>way it fits. It fits with San Diego, you know,

512
00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:50.759
<v Speaker 5>the type of organization they are where they're they're.

513
00:22:50.559 --> 00:22:51.720
<v Speaker 3>You know, they come after you.

514
00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:54.160
<v Speaker 5>They've they've got talent and and they're a little leggie

515
00:22:54.200 --> 00:22:55.240
<v Speaker 5>and that that fits with them.

516
00:22:55.400 --> 00:22:57.759
<v Speaker 4>Let's go to Junior in Norwalk next up here on

517
00:22:57.759 --> 00:23:00.400
<v Speaker 4>a five seventy with Saxon Kates and am you have

518
00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:01.240
<v Speaker 4>to game four tonight?

519
00:23:01.319 --> 00:23:01.559
<v Speaker 9>Junior?

520
00:23:01.559 --> 00:23:03.480
<v Speaker 3>How you doing all right?

521
00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:03.680
<v Speaker 9>Hi?

522
00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:09.039
<v Speaker 14>Guys, gonna appreciate the call. One thing that Reggie, the

523
00:23:09.119 --> 00:23:12.039
<v Speaker 14>Manny Machado play where he kind of interfered, reminded me

524
00:23:12.119 --> 00:23:15.720
<v Speaker 14>of when Reggie Jackson interfered with the throw. What I

525
00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:17.359
<v Speaker 14>would have done. I would have put the ball in

526
00:23:17.400 --> 00:23:20.279
<v Speaker 14>the middle of Manny Mchatto's back and at least make

527
00:23:20.319 --> 00:23:23.359
<v Speaker 14>him think about doing that again and question it. Why

528
00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:25.880
<v Speaker 14>is an interference? And then another thing I want to

529
00:23:25.960 --> 00:23:30.480
<v Speaker 14>question is why isn't playing I would have rather preferred

530
00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:34.440
<v Speaker 14>Geek in that last at that to end the game

531
00:23:35.039 --> 00:23:38.680
<v Speaker 14>than having the battle Gavin Lucks's hands. I think Gavin

532
00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:42.200
<v Speaker 14>Lux and Max Munsey have run their course. They're too

533
00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:45.079
<v Speaker 14>much of a hit or miss all or nothing, not

534
00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:47.559
<v Speaker 14>much of a bass hit. And then Keika also provides

535
00:23:47.640 --> 00:23:52.319
<v Speaker 14>us spark plugs on the field, like his his attitude,

536
00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:56.319
<v Speaker 14>his his you know, his his demeanor, his body language.

537
00:23:56.839 --> 00:23:59.119
<v Speaker 14>That makes a big difference when it comes to also

538
00:23:59.160 --> 00:24:00.759
<v Speaker 14>winning games. That's all I got said.

539
00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:03.079
<v Speaker 4>All right, Junior, appreciate it. Yeah, it's interesting. He brought

540
00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:05.240
<v Speaker 4>up the throw it in the back of Machado and

541
00:24:05.680 --> 00:24:07.519
<v Speaker 4>I'm not sure who it was. I might have been

542
00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:09.400
<v Speaker 4>Derek Jeter, I think who said her A Rod on

543
00:24:09.440 --> 00:24:13.000
<v Speaker 4>TV last night on postgame said in that situation, if

544
00:24:13.000 --> 00:24:15.000
<v Speaker 4>the runners in your way, just like as a catcher,

545
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:16.720
<v Speaker 4>I think was a Rod. He said it as a catcher,

546
00:24:16.759 --> 00:24:19.079
<v Speaker 4>you're taught when you feel the bunt, if the runners

547
00:24:19.079 --> 00:24:20.799
<v Speaker 4>in the lane and out of the lane, you throw

548
00:24:20.839 --> 00:24:24.039
<v Speaker 4>it in his back for interference in that situation, maybe

549
00:24:24.039 --> 00:24:26.519
<v Speaker 4>with a drill. Machado in the back the way he's running,

550
00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:29.359
<v Speaker 4>maybe there is more of a discussion of where is

551
00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:31.759
<v Speaker 4>he running. He's way out of the lane, and there's

552
00:24:31.759 --> 00:24:34.079
<v Speaker 4>more of a discussion impossibility of calling him out.

553
00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:37.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and that view you got from behind the first baseman,

554
00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:40.359
<v Speaker 5>behind Freddie Freeman on the side, almost in the coach's

555
00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:43.200
<v Speaker 5>box that ball. That view was shot right obviously from

556
00:24:43.240 --> 00:24:46.640
<v Speaker 5>the dugout, but you can see him looking over his

557
00:24:46.720 --> 00:24:49.519
<v Speaker 5>left shoulder, seeing Freddy's going down. When where he is

558
00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:53.519
<v Speaker 5>to field the ball, he takes a left turn. I mean,

559
00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:57.440
<v Speaker 5>just look at the video. He's two or three feet

560
00:24:57.519 --> 00:24:59.960
<v Speaker 5>on the grass. This is upset.

561
00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:00.480
<v Speaker 8>Third.

562
00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:03.839
<v Speaker 5>I would have come out of my skin if I

563
00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:05.960
<v Speaker 5>was you know, if I was a player on the field,

564
00:25:06.039 --> 00:25:09.680
<v Speaker 5>I would have just been crazy beside myself. That is

565
00:25:09.759 --> 00:25:12.640
<v Speaker 5>an obvious, what you know thing that he did to

566
00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:15.759
<v Speaker 5>interrupt that play, to make interference and it hit him.

567
00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:16.039
<v Speaker 3>In the head.

568
00:25:16.079 --> 00:25:18.039
<v Speaker 5>I mean, you know what, how much more obvious you

569
00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:19.680
<v Speaker 5>have to be? You know, hit him in the head

570
00:25:19.880 --> 00:25:22.200
<v Speaker 5>and he gets away with it. Nobody even said anything.

571
00:25:22.200 --> 00:25:24.880
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, no argument from the Dodgers dugout at all.

572
00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:27.200
<v Speaker 4>Joining us now our Dodger insider, he's the best of

573
00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:29.799
<v Speaker 4>the best. He is David Vease, Good morning, Dave. Yeah,

574
00:25:29.799 --> 00:25:31.759
<v Speaker 4>I've spent a lot of time talking about that Machado

575
00:25:31.839 --> 00:25:35.359
<v Speaker 4>play and the unraveling of the Dodgers in that second inning.

576
00:25:36.519 --> 00:25:38.960
<v Speaker 4>You're just kind of reaction the morning after what happened

577
00:25:38.960 --> 00:25:43.240
<v Speaker 4>and then the snowball of that second inning against the Dodgers.

578
00:25:43.599 --> 00:25:46.200
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, you know, it's funny. I was just looking at

579
00:25:46.480 --> 00:25:49.680
<v Speaker 13>replays of that play before you guys called me, and look,

580
00:25:49.720 --> 00:25:53.920
<v Speaker 13>it just doesn't look right. Manny Machado said after the game.

581
00:25:53.960 --> 00:25:56.519
<v Speaker 13>They were practicing that in spring training to make the

582
00:25:56.559 --> 00:25:59.720
<v Speaker 13>throw harder, and that's the first time it's come into

583
00:25:59.759 --> 00:26:03.039
<v Speaker 13>play this season. It just doesn't look great when the

584
00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:06.119
<v Speaker 13>base runners on the grass. That doesn't seem to be

585
00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:09.799
<v Speaker 13>a baseline a bas path. And that was a great point.

586
00:26:09.799 --> 00:26:13.079
<v Speaker 13>You guys just brought up. Why didn't anybody on the

587
00:26:13.119 --> 00:26:18.480
<v Speaker 13>field or in the dugout go bananas if they really

588
00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:21.599
<v Speaker 13>felt like he was out of the base path or

589
00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:24.960
<v Speaker 13>base line. But Freddie Freeman explained it. He thought that,

590
00:26:25.400 --> 00:26:27.519
<v Speaker 13>you know, the first couple of steps you create your

591
00:26:27.559 --> 00:26:28.240
<v Speaker 13>own base path.

592
00:26:28.279 --> 00:26:29.079
<v Speaker 11>But that seemed to.

593
00:26:29.000 --> 00:26:34.799
<v Speaker 13>Be a little out of the ordinary. But I will

594
00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:38.920
<v Speaker 13>say this, even with that play. That's not the reason

595
00:26:39.279 --> 00:26:43.319
<v Speaker 13>or the entire reason why the Padres scored six runs

596
00:26:43.319 --> 00:26:46.519
<v Speaker 13>in that inning. Miguel Rojas tried to be a hero

597
00:26:47.400 --> 00:26:51.519
<v Speaker 13>with a limited mobility to try to turn an unassisted

598
00:26:51.559 --> 00:26:54.640
<v Speaker 13>double play instead of just getting to sure out at

599
00:26:54.720 --> 00:26:58.519
<v Speaker 13>second base. Gavin Lux was anchored at the base on

600
00:26:58.599 --> 00:27:01.000
<v Speaker 13>the ground ball by Bogart and all he had to

601
00:27:01.000 --> 00:27:03.559
<v Speaker 13>do was flip it to Lux and get the out,

602
00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:08.319
<v Speaker 13>something that Walker Buehler desperately needed. And speaking of Walker Buehler,

603
00:27:08.599 --> 00:27:13.359
<v Speaker 13>he although he was part of the paper cuts in

604
00:27:13.440 --> 00:27:16.680
<v Speaker 13>the second inning, he's not absolved of the fact that

605
00:27:17.279 --> 00:27:20.319
<v Speaker 13>he did give up six runs. He did have two

606
00:27:20.359 --> 00:27:24.720
<v Speaker 13>strikes on Tattoos, on Peralta, on Magado, and he couldn't

607
00:27:24.759 --> 00:27:28.680
<v Speaker 13>put anybody away. That was a big issue in that inning.

608
00:27:29.079 --> 00:27:32.079
<v Speaker 13>And he finished with zero strikeouts in five innings. So

609
00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:35.640
<v Speaker 13>you know, you could say all these different things, but

610
00:27:35.680 --> 00:27:38.960
<v Speaker 13>the facts are he had two strikes on all these

611
00:27:39.079 --> 00:27:42.599
<v Speaker 13>hitters in the second inning and couldn't put them away.

612
00:27:43.599 --> 00:27:45.480
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you're right again, David. Good to be with you

613
00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:48.680
<v Speaker 5>this morning. Look, I've got a different outlook on tonight.

614
00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:51.720
<v Speaker 5>You've got the pen game going, which can be a

615
00:27:51.759 --> 00:27:54.240
<v Speaker 5>real detriment to the opposition when they're coming up and

616
00:27:54.279 --> 00:27:56.680
<v Speaker 5>seeing a different guy each time they get in the

617
00:27:56.680 --> 00:28:00.480
<v Speaker 5>batter's box. I think the key for this game for

618
00:28:00.519 --> 00:28:02.440
<v Speaker 5>the Dodgers, for those guys, are going to be the

619
00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:06.359
<v Speaker 5>bullpenners coming out attack these hitters. That is what you

620
00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:08.720
<v Speaker 5>do when you come out of the bullpen. You you

621
00:28:08.759 --> 00:28:11.920
<v Speaker 5>can't pitch on the fringes, go at these guys. It's

622
00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:13.920
<v Speaker 5>going to be a new look every time they get

623
00:28:13.960 --> 00:28:15.759
<v Speaker 5>in the batter's box. I think this could be a

624
00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:18.039
<v Speaker 5>plus for the Dodgers tonight. It's a way to kind

625
00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:21.759
<v Speaker 5>of reset this whole thing and just throw something different

626
00:28:21.799 --> 00:28:22.759
<v Speaker 5>at them.

627
00:28:23.759 --> 00:28:27.640
<v Speaker 13>Well, it's somewhat ironic that the Dodgers the last one

628
00:28:27.839 --> 00:28:31.359
<v Speaker 13>a road playoffs game in Game five of the twenty

629
00:28:31.400 --> 00:28:35.519
<v Speaker 13>one n LDS in San Francisco. If you remember that game,

630
00:28:35.640 --> 00:28:39.839
<v Speaker 13>it was somewhat of a bullpen game because they instead

631
00:28:39.880 --> 00:28:42.960
<v Speaker 13>of just having Julio Orias start the game, they had

632
00:28:43.000 --> 00:28:45.799
<v Speaker 13>an opener for him, and then Julio came in and

633
00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:49.440
<v Speaker 13>pitched the bulk innings of that game up in San Francisco. So,

634
00:28:50.200 --> 00:28:54.720
<v Speaker 13>you know, hopefully history can repeat itself. But let's be

635
00:28:54.799 --> 00:28:59.519
<v Speaker 13>honest with ourselves. A bullpen game in an in an

636
00:28:59.519 --> 00:29:03.799
<v Speaker 13>eliminate game, that's not really ideal. But that's the situation

637
00:29:04.519 --> 00:29:08.279
<v Speaker 13>the Dodgers are in going into this series. They're running

638
00:29:08.319 --> 00:29:11.440
<v Speaker 13>out of pitching like they did a year ago, which

639
00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:16.759
<v Speaker 13>is a topic of conversation for another time. But let's

640
00:29:16.759 --> 00:29:21.079
<v Speaker 13>be honest with ourselves. A bullpen game in an elimination

641
00:29:21.279 --> 00:29:23.119
<v Speaker 13>game is not ideal.

642
00:29:24.200 --> 00:29:26.400
<v Speaker 4>It's not David Vests joining us here on a five

643
00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:29.039
<v Speaker 4>seventy LA Sports Live in San Diego, Game four the

644
00:29:29.160 --> 00:29:32.519
<v Speaker 4>NLDS is Tonight's real quick about last night, Dave, Just

645
00:29:32.519 --> 00:29:36.079
<v Speaker 4>to kind of wrap things up and looking ahead Otani Betts.

646
00:29:36.440 --> 00:29:37.440
<v Speaker 3>They can't do it alone.

647
00:29:37.480 --> 00:29:39.640
<v Speaker 4>As much as Dodger fans want them to just carry

648
00:29:39.640 --> 00:29:43.079
<v Speaker 4>this team on and through the playoffs, you got to

649
00:29:43.119 --> 00:29:46.079
<v Speaker 4>get something from the bottom half of this lineup, and

650
00:29:46.200 --> 00:29:49.799
<v Speaker 4>last night Muncie, will Smith, Gavin Lux, Tommy Edmund just

651
00:29:49.839 --> 00:29:51.160
<v Speaker 4>didn't give him anything.

652
00:29:53.039 --> 00:29:57.799
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, combined for fifteen with five strikeouts. I said it

653
00:29:57.920 --> 00:30:00.680
<v Speaker 13>last night, I said it this morning. I'll say it again.

654
00:30:01.319 --> 00:30:04.759
<v Speaker 13>The Dodgers need key A Hernandez to get some at that.

655
00:30:05.119 --> 00:30:06.119
<v Speaker 7>It's the only.

656
00:30:05.920 --> 00:30:10.559
<v Speaker 13>Reason why they signed them. This is his time. I

657
00:30:10.559 --> 00:30:13.440
<v Speaker 13>would love to see Keith ky Hernandez in center field,

658
00:30:13.839 --> 00:30:17.119
<v Speaker 13>Tommy Edmunds starting at shortstop. They've got to do something

659
00:30:17.160 --> 00:30:20.920
<v Speaker 13>to change that part of the lineup, which really hasn't

660
00:30:20.920 --> 00:30:24.960
<v Speaker 13>given them much since Game one of this series. So

661
00:30:25.440 --> 00:30:27.960
<v Speaker 13>they have to change something up. You know, they're changing

662
00:30:28.000 --> 00:30:30.480
<v Speaker 13>it up with the pitching. They've got to change something

663
00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:33.720
<v Speaker 13>up with the lineup because they had so many swings

664
00:30:33.720 --> 00:30:37.799
<v Speaker 13>and misses last night. Next months he had nine swings

665
00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:41.880
<v Speaker 13>seven misses. Will Smith, who I, you know, thought was

666
00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:45.319
<v Speaker 13>the X factor, he is, but it hasn't gone the

667
00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:49.720
<v Speaker 13>right direction. He's zero for eight in this series. So

668
00:30:50.240 --> 00:30:52.920
<v Speaker 13>that part of the lineup definitely needs to step up.

669
00:30:54.200 --> 00:30:56.039
<v Speaker 5>David, what do you what do you think about? Have

670
00:30:56.160 --> 00:30:58.440
<v Speaker 5>they named who's going to be the start of tonight?

671
00:30:58.480 --> 00:31:00.480
<v Speaker 5>Is it going to be Lendon now? Is it going

672
00:31:00.519 --> 00:31:02.960
<v Speaker 5>to be somebody else? Is I would say I would

673
00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:05.400
<v Speaker 5>think that he's going to be the bulk pitcher tonight,

674
00:31:05.440 --> 00:31:06.839
<v Speaker 5>but what has been said about that?

675
00:31:08.519 --> 00:31:08.759
<v Speaker 9>Yeah?

676
00:31:08.839 --> 00:31:09.599
<v Speaker 6>I thought so too.

677
00:31:09.960 --> 00:31:11.960
<v Speaker 13>I mean, I feel like he's going to have a

678
00:31:12.039 --> 00:31:15.000
<v Speaker 13>part in this game in that type of role. But

679
00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:19.519
<v Speaker 13>when you look at the Padres lineup, they got one

680
00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:22.359
<v Speaker 13>lefty in the first three hitters, or two lefties. I

681
00:31:22.400 --> 00:31:26.319
<v Speaker 13>guess with their eyes and profar so they may go

682
00:31:26.359 --> 00:31:30.079
<v Speaker 13>with Anthony Banda or alex Vestia to open up and

683
00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:33.359
<v Speaker 13>then from there, you know, go to their right handers.

684
00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:37.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Dave, final thing for me, got feeling what are

685
00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:39.680
<v Speaker 4>you feeling about Game four tonight in this Dodgers team

686
00:31:39.839 --> 00:31:43.599
<v Speaker 4>being around them, their may their makeup, their their emotional makeup,

687
00:31:43.640 --> 00:31:46.559
<v Speaker 4>their mental makeup in this team, Uh, with their backs

688
00:31:46.559 --> 00:31:48.640
<v Speaker 4>against the wall, do they have enough fight in them

689
00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:49.720
<v Speaker 4>to force a Game five?

690
00:31:51.200 --> 00:31:53.839
<v Speaker 13>Well, I'll say this, it feels like this year this

691
00:31:53.960 --> 00:31:57.519
<v Speaker 13>team has shown more fight than what we have seen

692
00:31:57.599 --> 00:32:02.000
<v Speaker 13>in each of the last two years. I'll be really

693
00:32:02.039 --> 00:32:05.000
<v Speaker 13>candid with you. If the Dodgers were down six to

694
00:32:05.079 --> 00:32:08.039
<v Speaker 13>one last year, actually they were down six to nothing

695
00:32:08.119 --> 00:32:10.640
<v Speaker 13>in the first game, they would have packed it in.

696
00:32:11.079 --> 00:32:12.839
<v Speaker 13>They would not have fought. They would have just said,

697
00:32:12.839 --> 00:32:15.160
<v Speaker 13>you know what, we'll try to get them tomorrow. That's

698
00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:18.240
<v Speaker 13>not what happened yesterday. Even though they didn't have a

699
00:32:18.279 --> 00:32:22.279
<v Speaker 13>base runner the last six innings until Freddy Freeman's single

700
00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:26.640
<v Speaker 13>in the eighth inning, Teoscar Hernandez grand slam was set

701
00:32:26.720 --> 00:32:29.000
<v Speaker 13>up by a guy getting on base ahead of him.

702
00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:33.000
<v Speaker 13>So I do believe they'll fight, and they don't want

703
00:32:33.039 --> 00:32:35.119
<v Speaker 13>to go home, they don't want to be embarrassed by

704
00:32:35.119 --> 00:32:39.240
<v Speaker 13>that team, And yeah, I think they'll fight. But like

705
00:32:39.279 --> 00:32:41.759
<v Speaker 13>I said, it's a well tonight is a real wild

706
00:32:41.839 --> 00:32:45.160
<v Speaker 13>card game because not only are the Dodgers going with

707
00:32:45.240 --> 00:32:48.759
<v Speaker 13>a bullpen game, but the Padres have a pitcher that

708
00:32:49.400 --> 00:32:52.799
<v Speaker 13>really wasn't that effective going on three days rest after

709
00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:54.160
<v Speaker 13>game one and Dylan Cease.

710
00:32:54.839 --> 00:33:00.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, David, my last one is my question about Freddy Freeman. Obviously,

711
00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:01.920
<v Speaker 5>the pain is there. He comes out of the game

712
00:33:01.960 --> 00:33:03.839
<v Speaker 5>the other day. He also can't even get up and

713
00:33:03.880 --> 00:33:07.319
<v Speaker 5>make that throw, you know, on the play that's most

714
00:33:07.319 --> 00:33:10.000
<v Speaker 5>talked about now in the country. I guess you would say, yeah,

715
00:33:10.039 --> 00:33:14.200
<v Speaker 5>what is his situation now and how much are we

716
00:33:14.240 --> 00:33:16.200
<v Speaker 5>going to see of him?

717
00:33:16.759 --> 00:33:19.200
<v Speaker 13>Well, there was a play last night where he had

718
00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:22.000
<v Speaker 13>to leap to complete a double play. The throw by

719
00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:25.480
<v Speaker 13>Tommy edmund Ye was a little high and he leaped

720
00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:27.640
<v Speaker 13>and he stepped on the bag and he almost went

721
00:33:27.680 --> 00:33:30.680
<v Speaker 13>down to his knees. So I don't know if that's

722
00:33:30.720 --> 00:33:34.400
<v Speaker 13>going to affect him. He's still Freddy Freeman. He's still

723
00:33:34.480 --> 00:33:37.079
<v Speaker 13>the presence in the lineup, and he had some good

724
00:33:37.079 --> 00:33:40.400
<v Speaker 13>at bats last night, so if he's able to walk,

725
00:33:40.559 --> 00:33:41.720
<v Speaker 13>he's going to be in there.

726
00:33:42.279 --> 00:33:44.599
<v Speaker 4>David, we appreciate being up with us this morning. It's

727
00:33:44.599 --> 00:33:46.960
<v Speaker 4>gonna be a long day again, but hopefully a day

728
00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:49.559
<v Speaker 4>that ends with the Dodger victory in a game five

729
00:33:49.640 --> 00:33:50.359
<v Speaker 4>on Friday night.

730
00:33:50.359 --> 00:33:51.839
<v Speaker 3>We appreciate it, Thanks David.

731
00:33:51.920 --> 00:33:53.039
<v Speaker 13>All right, guys, thanks, all.

732
00:33:53.000 --> 00:33:55.200
<v Speaker 4>Right, there he goes our Dodger insider David Vesse. We'll

733
00:33:55.200 --> 00:33:56.880
<v Speaker 4>take a quick time out. We'll come back. We'll get

734
00:33:56.920 --> 00:33:58.720
<v Speaker 4>to the final sweep of your phone calls, and we'll

735
00:33:58.720 --> 00:34:02.000
<v Speaker 4>get Steve's keys. A game four win, a must win

736
00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:05.759
<v Speaker 4>game for the Dodgers tonight at Petco Park. Dylan Cees

737
00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:09.679
<v Speaker 4>short rest Dodgers a bullpen game. We'll get Steve's keys

738
00:34:09.719 --> 00:34:11.400
<v Speaker 4>and your calls when we come back. You're on a

739
00:34:11.519 --> 00:34:21.880
<v Speaker 4>FI seventy l A sports so need some bass hits,

740
00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:26.719
<v Speaker 4>need some bullpen help over nine innings. Since it's a

741
00:34:26.719 --> 00:34:31.719
<v Speaker 4>bullpen game, Dodgers need to win, they need to come

742
00:34:31.760 --> 00:34:32.800
<v Speaker 4>home with a victory.

743
00:34:32.920 --> 00:34:35.360
<v Speaker 5>So they get to Dylan Cees and guess what now

744
00:34:35.360 --> 00:34:36.800
<v Speaker 5>the Padres have a bullpen game.

745
00:34:38.360 --> 00:34:40.599
<v Speaker 4>Exactly. I was just talking about this in the hallway.

746
00:34:41.000 --> 00:34:42.760
<v Speaker 4>How long is Dylan c is gonna be out there.

747
00:34:42.760 --> 00:34:44.360
<v Speaker 4>Maybe he's a one time through the rotation.

748
00:34:44.440 --> 00:34:47.880
<v Speaker 3>That's it. This could be a Penn game for the

749
00:34:47.880 --> 00:34:48.639
<v Speaker 3>Padres too.

750
00:34:48.760 --> 00:34:50.639
<v Speaker 4>Wow, that it's gonna come down to who's got a

751
00:34:50.639 --> 00:34:52.960
<v Speaker 4>better bullpen Padres.

752
00:34:52.559 --> 00:34:56.119
<v Speaker 3>V and Dodgers really good, yeah, both of them.

753
00:34:56.159 --> 00:34:58.519
<v Speaker 4>It's been a fun series. It's been a fun series.

754
00:34:58.599 --> 00:35:00.719
<v Speaker 4>The Mets Philly series has been back and forth as well.

755
00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:01.559
<v Speaker 4>That's been entertaining.

756
00:35:01.679 --> 00:35:03.760
<v Speaker 5>Hey, look, it's gonna be great all the way through.

757
00:35:03.800 --> 00:35:06.480
<v Speaker 5>Even the American leagues are great, so it's gonna be fun.

758
00:35:06.599 --> 00:35:10.039
<v Speaker 5>I just have a feeling tonight. Look, the Dodgers if

759
00:35:10.079 --> 00:35:12.559
<v Speaker 5>they if they walk away tonight with with a loss.

760
00:35:13.280 --> 00:35:15.639
<v Speaker 5>You gotta win on the road, man, you have you

761
00:35:15.679 --> 00:35:18.000
<v Speaker 5>got to win one game on the road and that's

762
00:35:18.039 --> 00:35:19.480
<v Speaker 5>all they gotta do, and then they take that back

763
00:35:19.480 --> 00:35:19.800
<v Speaker 5>to LA.

764
00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:23.800
<v Speaker 4>Let's get through with these calls quickly. Gabriel Venice, Gabriel,

765
00:35:23.840 --> 00:35:24.239
<v Speaker 4>good morning.

766
00:35:24.239 --> 00:35:25.199
<v Speaker 3>What's going on? What's on your mind?

767
00:35:26.280 --> 00:35:26.760
<v Speaker 13>Hey man?

768
00:35:26.800 --> 00:35:29.880
<v Speaker 8>What's going on? I'm Gabriel, number one Dodger fan. What

769
00:35:30.039 --> 00:35:33.679
<v Speaker 8>I'm dripping on is why why is nobody making a

770
00:35:33.719 --> 00:35:36.800
<v Speaker 8>big deal about how I was? I heard last night

771
00:35:36.920 --> 00:35:41.280
<v Speaker 8>somebody rumbling about how the County of Los Angle of

772
00:35:41.639 --> 00:35:46.719
<v Speaker 8>San Diego isn't allowing people outside of San Diego to

773
00:35:46.880 --> 00:35:48.800
<v Speaker 8>buy tickets to the games.

774
00:35:49.599 --> 00:35:52.440
<v Speaker 10>I mean, I mean that that itself is kind of.

775
00:35:52.440 --> 00:35:55.960
<v Speaker 8>Like, uh, you know some some some you know stuff

776
00:35:56.079 --> 00:35:58.559
<v Speaker 8>I'm not comfortable with. I don't think the Dodger I

777
00:35:58.599 --> 00:36:00.639
<v Speaker 8>don't think the Dodgers are doing that well or.

778
00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:03.039
<v Speaker 4>Gabe really appreciate it. Yeah, we've gotten into it, and

779
00:36:03.039 --> 00:36:04.880
<v Speaker 4>it's been a couple of years now. They've been doing

780
00:36:04.920 --> 00:36:07.199
<v Speaker 4>a limiting tickets to only people that are in the

781
00:36:07.199 --> 00:36:10.679
<v Speaker 4>Billiings zip code of the Padres and Riverside in San

782
00:36:10.719 --> 00:36:13.360
<v Speaker 4>Diego County. So yeah, definitely been talked about, Definitely been

783
00:36:13.840 --> 00:36:15.760
<v Speaker 4>preaching and you know what they've been doing down there.

784
00:36:15.840 --> 00:36:19.440
<v Speaker 4>Chris is next up here in Rancho Kookamonga. I believe Chris.

785
00:36:19.480 --> 00:36:19.960
<v Speaker 3>How you doing?

786
00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:23.159
<v Speaker 9>Hey, how's it going? So I want to make it

787
00:36:23.239 --> 00:36:26.960
<v Speaker 9>quick here. I'm a Dodger fans. Game was terrible. My

788
00:36:27.119 --> 00:36:29.920
<v Speaker 9>question is why on a O two count is Walker

789
00:36:29.960 --> 00:36:32.599
<v Speaker 9>Buehler throwing something right in his wheelhouse?

790
00:36:32.639 --> 00:36:33.199
<v Speaker 6>Taptist.

791
00:36:33.400 --> 00:36:35.639
<v Speaker 9>You know, back in the day in the playoffs, you

792
00:36:35.719 --> 00:36:38.760
<v Speaker 9>had Chilling, you had Johnson, you had Clements, that weren't

793
00:36:38.760 --> 00:36:41.119
<v Speaker 9>intimidated by these batters. They would throw inside a little

794
00:36:41.119 --> 00:36:44.079
<v Speaker 9>bit and shake up the lineup a little bit. I

795
00:36:44.119 --> 00:36:46.960
<v Speaker 9>don't know why, old Town, he's always batting leadoffs. You know,

796
00:36:47.119 --> 00:36:49.920
<v Speaker 9>have him maybe back third or fourth. You know, you

797
00:36:49.960 --> 00:36:54.239
<v Speaker 9>want to give him maybe one at that more for

798
00:36:54.320 --> 00:36:54.840
<v Speaker 9>the whole game.

799
00:36:54.880 --> 00:36:58.039
<v Speaker 14>I understand that, but you have to, like, you.

800
00:36:58.000 --> 00:37:00.880
<v Speaker 9>Know, maybe get him on base with other letters and

801
00:37:00.960 --> 00:37:02.679
<v Speaker 9>next month. See, he's got to get his average up

802
00:37:02.719 --> 00:37:05.280
<v Speaker 9>two thirty two. I mean, that's not cutting it.

803
00:37:06.079 --> 00:37:08.320
<v Speaker 10>He's got he has a good eye, but he's got to.

804
00:37:08.239 --> 00:37:10.280
<v Speaker 9>Take some more pitches. That's the whole point.

805
00:37:10.280 --> 00:37:12.199
<v Speaker 14>He's got lower the lionup so he can get on

806
00:37:12.239 --> 00:37:12.920
<v Speaker 14>baseball Toney.

807
00:37:13.519 --> 00:37:16.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and he's not doing his job. Will Smith hasn't

808
00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:19.039
<v Speaker 4>done his job. Gavin Lux has struggled in this series

809
00:37:19.079 --> 00:37:21.559
<v Speaker 4>as well. The Dodgers need more production top to bottom.

810
00:37:21.719 --> 00:37:24.840
<v Speaker 4>It can't be a top heavy lineup and be successful

811
00:37:25.119 --> 00:37:28.159
<v Speaker 4>here in the postseason against a really good Padres team.

812
00:37:28.199 --> 00:37:30.360
<v Speaker 4>Chris in La is next up with Saxon Kate today

813
00:37:30.360 --> 00:37:31.599
<v Speaker 4>and how you doing, Chris.

814
00:37:32.360 --> 00:37:35.199
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing great, guys. Just a couple of things. First

815
00:37:35.199 --> 00:37:37.719
<v Speaker 1>of all, you know, it's unfortunate that US Dodger fans

816
00:37:37.719 --> 00:37:40.400
<v Speaker 1>have to go to this, but it is baseball, you know,

817
00:37:40.679 --> 00:37:44.400
<v Speaker 1>playoff baseball. Good pitching beats good hitting, and if you

818
00:37:44.440 --> 00:37:47.320
<v Speaker 1>don't get timely hits, then you know it's not going

819
00:37:47.400 --> 00:37:49.480
<v Speaker 1>to work in our favor. And unfortunately that's been the

820
00:37:49.840 --> 00:37:53.000
<v Speaker 1>way it's been all these years. He saw those fortunate

821
00:37:53.000 --> 00:37:56.239
<v Speaker 1>bloopers that the Padres God is about timely hitting and

822
00:37:56.440 --> 00:38:01.000
<v Speaker 1>and good pitching, and we've had a depleted pitching staff

823
00:38:01.000 --> 00:38:03.599
<v Speaker 1>this year. So I think Dave Roberts, you know, for

824
00:38:03.639 --> 00:38:06.440
<v Speaker 1>all his faults, he's done a pretty good job dealing

825
00:38:06.440 --> 00:38:08.679
<v Speaker 1>with the pitching staff we've had to get us to

826
00:38:08.719 --> 00:38:10.719
<v Speaker 1>this point. And one other thing, one of the colleges

827
00:38:10.800 --> 00:38:12.599
<v Speaker 1>was talking about the base running thing. A lot of

828
00:38:12.639 --> 00:38:16.079
<v Speaker 1>people don't understand that there's only one established base path,

829
00:38:16.119 --> 00:38:19.760
<v Speaker 1>and that's going to first base. All the other base paths,

830
00:38:20.360 --> 00:38:24.039
<v Speaker 1>the runner establishes the base path if they are trying

831
00:38:24.079 --> 00:38:26.400
<v Speaker 1>to be tagged, which usually comes up in like a

832
00:38:26.440 --> 00:38:31.199
<v Speaker 1>pickle rundown situation. Other than that, that's a brilliant play

833
00:38:31.239 --> 00:38:34.280
<v Speaker 1>by Maschado. You can create your own base path and

834
00:38:34.360 --> 00:38:36.960
<v Speaker 1>usually it doesn't come up because if someone does what

835
00:38:37.000 --> 00:38:39.719
<v Speaker 1>he did and ran out of the way. The first

836
00:38:39.760 --> 00:38:42.639
<v Speaker 1>baseman just throws the ball the second and it's easy throw.

837
00:38:42.800 --> 00:38:46.039
<v Speaker 1>So in this situation, because Freeman was on the ground

838
00:38:46.079 --> 00:38:48.559
<v Speaker 1>and he threw it wide, that just happened to be

839
00:38:48.679 --> 00:38:51.360
<v Speaker 1>where Manny knew, this is where I should run in

840
00:38:51.440 --> 00:38:55.239
<v Speaker 1>case that happened. So that's why it wasn't reviewed. And

841
00:38:55.280 --> 00:38:58.880
<v Speaker 1>it's interesting that the Fox guys didn't know that, and

842
00:38:59.000 --> 00:39:01.559
<v Speaker 1>especially Big Poppy was a Hall of Fame first base.

843
00:39:01.760 --> 00:39:03.400
<v Speaker 1>But it just shows you that people don't know that rule.

844
00:39:03.639 --> 00:39:06.639
<v Speaker 1>There is no base path on the other basis unless

845
00:39:06.639 --> 00:39:09.519
<v Speaker 1>you're avoiding a tag, like in a rundown situation. So

846
00:39:09.840 --> 00:39:12.360
<v Speaker 1>the Dodgers kind of try to bounce back and stay

847
00:39:12.400 --> 00:39:14.639
<v Speaker 1>focused and keep hitting and help the balls fall where

848
00:39:14.639 --> 00:39:16.880
<v Speaker 1>they have to, and we get some pitching from this

849
00:39:17.000 --> 00:39:20.119
<v Speaker 1>bulk in game. You know it's gonna be tough, but

850
00:39:20.320 --> 00:39:22.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, crazier things have happened, all right, Chris.

851
00:39:22.360 --> 00:39:25.199
<v Speaker 4>Appreciate the phone call. Yeah, it's a subjective call. It's

852
00:39:25.199 --> 00:39:27.639
<v Speaker 4>a judgment call from the umpires. And I think the

853
00:39:27.679 --> 00:39:30.800
<v Speaker 4>biggest argument we've been talking about Saxy is why wasn't

854
00:39:30.800 --> 00:39:36.480
<v Speaker 4>there pressure or an argument from the Dodgers dugout to Hey,

855
00:39:36.960 --> 00:39:39.000
<v Speaker 4>let's at least talk about this for a second. Can

856
00:39:39.039 --> 00:39:41.400
<v Speaker 4>we huddle, Can we get a different perspective. Maybe one

857
00:39:41.400 --> 00:39:43.360
<v Speaker 4>of the umpires down the line saw it differently, Maybe

858
00:39:43.360 --> 00:39:45.239
<v Speaker 4>one of the umpires in the left center field saw

859
00:39:45.239 --> 00:39:47.119
<v Speaker 4>the different angle. We can go to him and maybe

860
00:39:47.159 --> 00:39:49.440
<v Speaker 4>get a call and we can rule Machado out. I mean,

861
00:39:49.480 --> 00:39:53.840
<v Speaker 4>there was just never an argument or a fight from

862
00:39:53.840 --> 00:39:54.800
<v Speaker 4>the Dodger side of it.

863
00:39:54.840 --> 00:39:59.480
<v Speaker 5>I appreciate his take on that and talking about establishing

864
00:40:00.039 --> 00:40:01.840
<v Speaker 5>the running your own running zone. I get that. But

865
00:40:01.920 --> 00:40:04.559
<v Speaker 5>let me offer some of my subjectivity here on this,

866
00:40:04.920 --> 00:40:07.880
<v Speaker 5>and that is he did establish it. He started running

867
00:40:07.920 --> 00:40:10.880
<v Speaker 5>to second base in the normal base path. He was

868
00:40:11.039 --> 00:40:14.880
<v Speaker 5>on his way. It was then that long after that,

869
00:40:15.119 --> 00:40:19.239
<v Speaker 5>probably only about three steps, that he took a left

870
00:40:19.280 --> 00:40:22.679
<v Speaker 5>turn onto the grass that is not his normal running

871
00:40:22.760 --> 00:40:25.960
<v Speaker 5>lane that he had already established, and then the ball

872
00:40:26.039 --> 00:40:28.239
<v Speaker 5>hits him, and then he it almost does a v

873
00:40:28.719 --> 00:40:31.400
<v Speaker 5>ye out out to the grass. He gets hit and

874
00:40:31.440 --> 00:40:34.119
<v Speaker 5>then right back in the lane. His lane was established.

875
00:40:34.559 --> 00:40:37.079
<v Speaker 5>Right when Freddy fielded the ball, he was looking over

876
00:40:37.079 --> 00:40:40.280
<v Speaker 5>his shoulder, and it was thereafter that he took on

877
00:40:40.360 --> 00:40:43.519
<v Speaker 5>a different lane. And that's why I think that place

878
00:40:43.519 --> 00:40:45.440
<v Speaker 5>should have been called as interference.

879
00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:47.400
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely, and maybe he needed a little prodding from Dave

880
00:40:47.480 --> 00:40:50.360
<v Speaker 4>Roberts and the Dodgers dugout to ask for, you know,

881
00:40:50.440 --> 00:40:52.400
<v Speaker 4>some help from another umpire and to discuss this.

882
00:40:52.480 --> 00:40:55.400
<v Speaker 5>I'd have been backflipping out there so ticked off. I'd

883
00:40:55.400 --> 00:40:57.199
<v Speaker 5>have been out of my out of my skin.

884
00:40:57.159 --> 00:41:00.320
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely in our last ninety seconds here, Saxy, what some

885
00:41:00.320 --> 00:41:00.480
<v Speaker 4>of you?

886
00:41:00.519 --> 00:41:03.480
<v Speaker 5>Your key to the simple one, very simple. Your backs

887
00:41:03.480 --> 00:41:06.280
<v Speaker 5>are against the wall. There's no more talking. The backs

888
00:41:06.320 --> 00:41:08.559
<v Speaker 5>are again. I don't care about I don't care about enthusiasm.

889
00:41:08.760 --> 00:41:11.280
<v Speaker 5>Go out there and barrel somebody's ass up, and that's

890
00:41:11.320 --> 00:41:13.760
<v Speaker 5>what you got to do. Barrel some balls up. And

891
00:41:13.800 --> 00:41:16.239
<v Speaker 5>as far as the bullpen goes, go out there and

892
00:41:16.280 --> 00:41:19.039
<v Speaker 5>attack these hitters. Don't go on the fringe. These guys

893
00:41:19.039 --> 00:41:21.280
<v Speaker 5>are gonna have to figure everybody out as they go along.

894
00:41:21.760 --> 00:41:24.639
<v Speaker 5>The bullpen guys have the advantage, especially early in the game.

895
00:41:24.960 --> 00:41:27.559
<v Speaker 5>Go out and attack somebody and let's see what happens.

896
00:41:27.639 --> 00:41:29.239
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'm with you. I think the bullpen is the

897
00:41:29.280 --> 00:41:31.400
<v Speaker 4>key tonight. It's a bullpen game, and you need to

898
00:41:31.440 --> 00:41:34.159
<v Speaker 4>pass up unton You need that that that link to

899
00:41:34.239 --> 00:41:37.000
<v Speaker 4>continue from the first inning to the ninth inning, and

900
00:41:37.039 --> 00:41:39.639
<v Speaker 4>it's so tough to do in bullpen games, and I

901
00:41:39.639 --> 00:41:41.639
<v Speaker 4>think that's the key. They've got to put up zeros.

902
00:41:41.639 --> 00:41:43.840
<v Speaker 4>They got to have limited runs out there from one

903
00:41:43.920 --> 00:41:46.719
<v Speaker 4>reliever to the next. And I think the Dodgers offense

904
00:41:46.800 --> 00:41:49.199
<v Speaker 4>they'll be just fine tonight and helping produce some runs.

905
00:41:49.199 --> 00:41:51.480
<v Speaker 4>Thanks to Katie, Thanks to Michelle. Thanks to you for
