WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:03.040
<v Speaker 1>It is Coachella Valley's best bet.

2
00:00:03.640 --> 00:00:07.599
<v Speaker 2>All right, So does this year feel different than the

3
00:00:07.639 --> 00:00:16.320
<v Speaker 2>ones in the past. Yeap, yes, not even close. Here's why. First,

4
00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:18.280
<v Speaker 2>and we said this, at least I did at the

5
00:00:18.280 --> 00:00:20.679
<v Speaker 2>start of the season. I don't care if they went

6
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:22.399
<v Speaker 2>one hundred games. I don't care if they won one

7
00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:24.640
<v Speaker 2>hundred and twenty five games. I don't care if they

8
00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:27.039
<v Speaker 2>win eighty nine games. None of that matters to me.

9
00:00:27.559 --> 00:00:29.399
<v Speaker 2>The only thing that matters really is how they're going

10
00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:30.839
<v Speaker 2>to do in the playoffs. So first you got to

11
00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:34.359
<v Speaker 2>get there. Got to get there. Yeah, and then we'll

12
00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:37.600
<v Speaker 2>see how you perform. At the beginning of this season,

13
00:00:38.039 --> 00:00:40.960
<v Speaker 2>when you looked at them on paper, you thought they

14
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:44.679
<v Speaker 2>could win one hundred and ten games. I did, before

15
00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:48.799
<v Speaker 2>all the pitching went south, before the Mookie injury. When

16
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:52.439
<v Speaker 2>you looked at the lineup, you thought this is a

17
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:55.719
<v Speaker 2>team that is going to smoke almost everybody. And we

18
00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:57.600
<v Speaker 2>said that early in the year, Rodney, Remember when they

19
00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:00.000
<v Speaker 2>were losing and we sat around and said, well everybody,

20
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:02.679
<v Speaker 2>they thought they'd smoke everybody's that's not really the way

21
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:03.200
<v Speaker 2>this works.

22
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:04.519
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

23
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:07.439
<v Speaker 2>I think it's been more of a struggle. I think

24
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:11.319
<v Speaker 2>it's been more of a battle. I think there have

25
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:14.159
<v Speaker 2>been moments not from the team or actually from you

26
00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:16.640
<v Speaker 2>or I, but if we're to be honest from the

27
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:23.599
<v Speaker 2>fan base of doubt, yeah, I think it certainly has

28
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:27.439
<v Speaker 2>been far more difficult than anyone imagined it would be.

29
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:32.120
<v Speaker 2>So I think, yes, this year is very different. But

30
00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:36.159
<v Speaker 2>let me say this, I think it's probably the best

31
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:36.680
<v Speaker 2>thing that could have.

32
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:37.200
<v Speaker 4>Happened to him.

33
00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:43.959
<v Speaker 1>You do, yeah, yeah, we've seen what aspect what aspect

34
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:45.920
<v Speaker 1>of that is the best thing that happened to it,

35
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:48.040
<v Speaker 1>because you can look at this in several different ways.

36
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:52.000
<v Speaker 1>They had injuries, they you know, they they've struggled at times.

37
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:55.760
<v Speaker 1>Are you saying that they that they had to fight

38
00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:59.560
<v Speaker 1>to the end? Is different and what makes it I

39
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:01.719
<v Speaker 1>think a little bit better for them this year going

40
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:02.680
<v Speaker 1>into the playoffs.

41
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:07.680
<v Speaker 2>We listen, we've seen the movie where they blow everybody out. Yeah,

42
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:09.759
<v Speaker 2>and we know how that movie in the games, and

43
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:12.080
<v Speaker 2>they go into the playoffs, they got to buy. They

44
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:14.479
<v Speaker 2>you know, they they win a division in what late

45
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:18.919
<v Speaker 2>August or early September, their cruising guys are resting and

46
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:21.840
<v Speaker 2>then they got to buy and other teams are playing

47
00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:24.759
<v Speaker 2>and then they show up and it takes them three

48
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:26.680
<v Speaker 2>games to get going, and next thing you know, they're down.

49
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:28.919
<v Speaker 4>Oh three, right, they're done.

50
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:32.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they're basically done this year because of what they've

51
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:36.400
<v Speaker 2>been through and the adversity and the injuries, and to

52
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:40.080
<v Speaker 2>be completely honest, not knowing what was going to happen next.

53
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:42.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we still don't know about the pitching staff.

54
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:44.599
<v Speaker 2>All of a sudden, Walker Bueler looks good last night

55
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:46.319
<v Speaker 2>and you're thinking, oh, Mike, where did that come from?

56
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:48.719
<v Speaker 2>How did that happen at that precise moment, So you

57
00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:52.680
<v Speaker 2>really don't know. I think all of those factors contribute

58
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:59.000
<v Speaker 2>to them having to be more aggressive, more intense, because

59
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:00.919
<v Speaker 2>they've had to be more aggress have been more intense.

60
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:03.039
<v Speaker 2>The other night when they lost to San Diego on

61
00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:06.439
<v Speaker 2>the triple play, that was a moment in time right

62
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:10.680
<v Speaker 2>there where they could have folded up ten. That was

63
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:13.639
<v Speaker 2>a moment if you look at that as it would

64
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:17.120
<v Speaker 2>have happened perhaps in the playoffs against the Padres. If

65
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:19.479
<v Speaker 2>that happens to them in the playoffs, are done, because

66
00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:24.080
<v Speaker 2>that's what we've seen done. Yeah, right, it's over. We've

67
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:26.159
<v Speaker 2>seen that. We know what happens when they get down there.

68
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:30.319
<v Speaker 2>But this year they came back this year. They persevered,

69
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:33.599
<v Speaker 2>net Coletti always says, and it was true in the

70
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:35.960
<v Speaker 2>Padres series and even in the game they lost in

71
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:38.960
<v Speaker 2>the triple play. Where the Dodgers are going to get

72
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:42.319
<v Speaker 2>you is the late innings, because they're going to grind

73
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:46.159
<v Speaker 2>you and grind you and grind you you, and then

74
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:49.879
<v Speaker 2>they'll get you. Well, the problem in parts of this

75
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:53.039
<v Speaker 2>season has been before you get to the late innings,

76
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:56.159
<v Speaker 2>they're down five runs because of the pitching. Right, That's

77
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:58.879
<v Speaker 2>what that's right been the problem. You can't even get

78
00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:01.479
<v Speaker 2>to the late innings because you're done by so much.

79
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:03.240
<v Speaker 2>Now you're just trying to get back up to the

80
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:03.879
<v Speaker 2>surface of the.

81
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Water exactly exactly. I mean, if you look and we

82
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:12.680
<v Speaker 1>know this, we've said this. With this firepower that they had,

83
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:18.079
<v Speaker 1>and let's be honest, you cannot win in this in

84
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:21.720
<v Speaker 1>this league, this era. I don't care if you've got

85
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:24.800
<v Speaker 1>ten Otani's on your team. You cannot win if you

86
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:31.399
<v Speaker 1>don't have good quality pitching. And you said it. Oftentimes

87
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:35.560
<v Speaker 1>they get to the late innings, the sixth, seventh, eighth inning,

88
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:39.519
<v Speaker 1>and they're down five runs, they're down six runs, and

89
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:43.240
<v Speaker 1>all you ask and all I'm sure those guys asking

90
00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:46.279
<v Speaker 1>the clubhouse is like, keep us close, keep us in

91
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:49.279
<v Speaker 1>striking distance. If you keep us in striking distance, I

92
00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:50.839
<v Speaker 1>believe they're the best team in baseball.

93
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:51.439
<v Speaker 4>Game.

94
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:54.720
<v Speaker 1>If the game is close, I put my money on

95
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:59.560
<v Speaker 1>the Dodgers against anybody. It is those problems when they

96
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:02.000
<v Speaker 1>get you know, someone gets five runs in the third

97
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:05.120
<v Speaker 1>or you know, they get four runs in the second inning,

98
00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:07.120
<v Speaker 1>and all of a sudden, they're playing catch up the whole.

99
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:08.399
<v Speaker 4>Game because your mentality changes.

100
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:13.040
<v Speaker 1>Whole mentality changes, And I know if you're sitting in

101
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:15.480
<v Speaker 1>that clubhouse, you go, we're only one rundown or two

102
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:17.560
<v Speaker 1>runs down. All it takes is in one home run,

103
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:19.759
<v Speaker 1>we're back in this thing. Like it did last night

104
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:22.360
<v Speaker 1>with Will Smith. Somebody get on base and somebody pick

105
00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:26.800
<v Speaker 1>him up, and then it becomes contagious. And so that's

106
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:32.120
<v Speaker 1>the thing that can't happen in the postseason. You know,

107
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:34.959
<v Speaker 1>you're not saying you gotta throw shutouts, but you can't

108
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:37.279
<v Speaker 1>let the game get out of hand, especially out of

109
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:37.839
<v Speaker 1>hand early.

110
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:40.439
<v Speaker 2>Keep us in the game, that's all we're asking. Just

111
00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:43.759
<v Speaker 2>keep us in it, give us a shot. And the

112
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:46.360
<v Speaker 2>problem is when you're starting pitching, your so banged up

113
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:50.959
<v Speaker 2>and guys are going four innings. Oftentimes you don't get

114
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:56.360
<v Speaker 2>that shot, but they did the last two nights, and

115
00:05:56.399 --> 00:06:00.040
<v Speaker 2>you saw the result of that. I don't think And

116
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:03.120
<v Speaker 2>it's funny because people have speculated on this from the beginning,

117
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:05.879
<v Speaker 2>and I don't think you have. I know I haven't,

118
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:09.120
<v Speaker 2>and I don't think you have. Well, how will o'tani

119
00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:12.480
<v Speaker 2>perform on the big stage. How is he going to

120
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:17.279
<v Speaker 2>react in the biggest moments of his life? That guy

121
00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:20.720
<v Speaker 2>is the greatest player of all time. He's going to

122
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:23.439
<v Speaker 2>react just fine. Well, is he going to be ready

123
00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:25.600
<v Speaker 2>for the moment. He's going to be ready for the moment.

124
00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:28.920
<v Speaker 2>And we saw that in those games against the Padres

125
00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:32.480
<v Speaker 2>because after the triple play game, and remember he was

126
00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:36.879
<v Speaker 2>on deck in that game. But after that triple play

127
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:40.639
<v Speaker 2>game where everything could have gone south, who stepped up

128
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:46.160
<v Speaker 2>and suddenly who had that enormous burst of energy and

129
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:51.279
<v Speaker 2>adrenaline an enthusiasm. It was him. It was him when

130
00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:53.600
<v Speaker 2>he was running, it was him when he was on

131
00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:57.279
<v Speaker 2>the bench. All of a sudden, he was made for

132
00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:01.959
<v Speaker 2>the moment. That's who he is. He's made for the moment.

133
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:06.160
<v Speaker 2>I really thought after that remains to be seen. We

134
00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:07.199
<v Speaker 2>haven't seen him in the moment.

135
00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:08.439
<v Speaker 4>I think he's made for the moment.

136
00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:10.720
<v Speaker 1>We haven't seen it. I hope he's made it. I

137
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:12.879
<v Speaker 1>hope he's made for the moment. We haven't seen it yet,

138
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:19.279
<v Speaker 1>he's made. What I will say is that he's feeling

139
00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:23.560
<v Speaker 1>it because we haven't seen him with that type of

140
00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:27.079
<v Speaker 1>emotion all season long, the way we've seen him in

141
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:30.639
<v Speaker 1>the last two weeks, uh, and especially this series against

142
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:34.240
<v Speaker 1>the Padres, where he's pumping his fist, he's looking at

143
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:36.920
<v Speaker 1>the dugout, yelling back at the dugout. We haven't seen

144
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:40.480
<v Speaker 1>that from Otani. He's usually reserved and quiet and mild

145
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:43.560
<v Speaker 1>mannered and all that. And now he's bat flipping and

146
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:45.879
<v Speaker 1>pumping his fists as he's running the first base after

147
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:50.000
<v Speaker 1>a home run, and and on the base path he's

148
00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:52.720
<v Speaker 1>hitting the double, he's jumping up and doing the dance

149
00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:55.199
<v Speaker 1>to the dugout and the and the and the bullpen.

150
00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:01.000
<v Speaker 1>And that becomes contagious because if you notice when your guy,

151
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:04.560
<v Speaker 1>your superstar, does that, it becomes contagious. Mess Will Smith

152
00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:07.399
<v Speaker 1>last night after he hit the home run, You know,

153
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:09.360
<v Speaker 1>we don't see that kind of emotion out of him

154
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:12.240
<v Speaker 1>he's he's a Clark Kent kind of mild manner guy too,

155
00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:14.120
<v Speaker 1>doesn't show a whole lot of emotion.

156
00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:16.600
<v Speaker 4>But he hit that home run and he chucked that bat.

157
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:17.920
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was gonna go on the other team's

158
00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:21.519
<v Speaker 1>dugout the way he flipped that bat and then and

159
00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:24.720
<v Speaker 1>then the fist pump around the bases, Mookie Betts, you know,

160
00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:27.079
<v Speaker 1>after he got the hit that that put him ahead.

161
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:32.480
<v Speaker 1>It's just it's just everybody's feeding off everybody. But I

162
00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:37.600
<v Speaker 1>think even more so, they're feeding off of the excitement

163
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:41.279
<v Speaker 1>that o'tani is feeling for the first time. He's gonna

164
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:43.919
<v Speaker 1>get a chance to play on the big stage and

165
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:46.960
<v Speaker 1>in the postseason. Now he has to deliver, and there's

166
00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:49.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna be, you know, more pressure on him than he's

167
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:53.360
<v Speaker 1>ever felt before. And he's gonna have to deliver. Don't

168
00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:55.120
<v Speaker 1>smirk for it, because he is. It's gonna be more

169
00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:56.559
<v Speaker 1>pressure on him than it ever was.

170
00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:58.600
<v Speaker 2>No, you know what, you know I did that. I'll

171
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:01.559
<v Speaker 2>tell you why. I think you're right. But I think

172
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:05.799
<v Speaker 2>he's immune to it. I think he's immune to the pressure.

173
00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:09.960
<v Speaker 2>I think he's going to be just fine. I swear

174
00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:12.879
<v Speaker 2>to God, I do. I think he is immune. I

175
00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:15.200
<v Speaker 2>don't think it's going to affect him one bit. And

176
00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:17.840
<v Speaker 2>as you were saying that, Rodney, another thing that was

177
00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:22.440
<v Speaker 2>running through my mind. He only came to the Dodgers. Well,

178
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:25.320
<v Speaker 2>he came because it's a great organization at Southern California.

179
00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:30.039
<v Speaker 2>He came for one reason. That reason was confirmed last night.

180
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:34.000
<v Speaker 2>He's in the postseason. Yeah, after all those years with

181
00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:38.919
<v Speaker 2>the Angels, he wanted one thing, give me a shot,

182
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:43.120
<v Speaker 2>give me a shot to win this thing. And in

183
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:46.399
<v Speaker 2>his first year with the Dodgers, he's got that shot.

184
00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:51.000
<v Speaker 2>I think that for him is just the beginning now,

185
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:53.879
<v Speaker 2>and that's why I think he will be immune to

186
00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:58.279
<v Speaker 2>the pressure. This is all he wanted, get me into tournament.

187
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:01.279
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes all you want, you want it too bad sometimes

188
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:04.200
<v Speaker 1>and then you overdo it and then you overtry because

189
00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:07.440
<v Speaker 1>you want something so bad. I'm not saying that's gonna happen,

190
00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:12.039
<v Speaker 1>but it does happen. Where you waited your whole life

191
00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:15.440
<v Speaker 1>for an opportunity and it gets there and you start

192
00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:17.919
<v Speaker 1>to press a little bit, you try to do something

193
00:10:17.960 --> 00:10:21.159
<v Speaker 1>different than you've done all season long. And I'm sure

194
00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:23.519
<v Speaker 1>he's got the right people in his ear, you know,

195
00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:26.360
<v Speaker 1>especially a guy like Dave Roberts is just don't change anything.

196
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:27.679
<v Speaker 4>Do what you've been doing.

197
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:30.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, sometimes guys get in big moments and they

198
00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:32.519
<v Speaker 1>change the routine or they got it, they feel like

199
00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:34.559
<v Speaker 1>they have to change it, and he shouldn't have to

200
00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:37.559
<v Speaker 1>change it at all. And the good news for him,

201
00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:43.960
<v Speaker 1>I think, which is gonna be really good and because

202
00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:46.360
<v Speaker 1>well we hope Freddy's gonna be all right, we'll touch

203
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:49.879
<v Speaker 1>on that in a minute, it is that he's got

204
00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:52.799
<v Speaker 1>a team around him like he's not had before either.

205
00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:56.639
<v Speaker 1>And you know, yes, he had Mike Trout down in Anaheim,

206
00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:59.840
<v Speaker 1>but aside from that, he really didn't have a line

207
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:05.320
<v Speaker 1>like he's had with the Dodgers. Where Will Smith can

208
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:07.159
<v Speaker 1>be and get the big hit, big home runn in

209
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:10.720
<v Speaker 1>the game, Ookie right behind him, Freddie right behind him,

210
00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:14.200
<v Speaker 1>Max Muntsey can come up with bit. Gavin Lux who's

211
00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:16.120
<v Speaker 1>been on fire, can come up with the big ag,

212
00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:20.559
<v Speaker 1>Taoscar Hernandez who's been on fire this whole season. He's

213
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:23.279
<v Speaker 1>got a squad behind him, so it's not going to

214
00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:26.440
<v Speaker 1>call and fall on him, and he can go oh

215
00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:29.960
<v Speaker 1>to three. He can go oh for three in a ballgame,

216
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:33.320
<v Speaker 1>Fred and come up that fourth time, or or at

217
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:35.639
<v Speaker 1>least field during the course of that game. That is

218
00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:39.120
<v Speaker 1>not all on my shoulders. I got other guys. And

219
00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:40.840
<v Speaker 1>so if he does go oh for three and he

220
00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:44.039
<v Speaker 1>comes up that fourth time, it's like, Okay, now's my time.

221
00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:48.039
<v Speaker 1>I can deliver this time. And so that to me,

222
00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:51.679
<v Speaker 1>I agree with you that I think he's gonna thrive

223
00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:55.159
<v Speaker 1>because it's not all gonna be about him. A team

224
00:11:55.240 --> 00:11:57.000
<v Speaker 1>can't look at the dog and go if we just

225
00:11:57.039 --> 00:12:00.000
<v Speaker 1>stop Otani, then we beat him. That's not the case

226
00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:03.159
<v Speaker 1>because several guys can beat you on this team, and

227
00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:05.440
<v Speaker 1>guys are getting there at the right time.

228
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:08.360
<v Speaker 4>So it'll be fun, it'll be interesting.

229
00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:11.879
<v Speaker 1>But going back to what he started with, they gotta

230
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:15.120
<v Speaker 1>stay in a striking distance because I don't care what inning,

231
00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:19.879
<v Speaker 1>and then if they're one to two runs away, they're dangerous.

232
00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:23.360
<v Speaker 4>So I'll give you this. I know Tani.

233
00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:25.919
<v Speaker 2>I will give you this. He's made for the moment.

234
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:28.320
<v Speaker 2>I think he's immune to the pressure. I think in

235
00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:30.720
<v Speaker 2>his first at bat in the playoffs, he'll have either

236
00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:33.120
<v Speaker 2>hit a home run or cork strew himself into the ground.

237
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:35.600
<v Speaker 2>He'll swing so hard. I will give you that. I

238
00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:38.480
<v Speaker 2>think in his first at bat He's either gonna hit

239
00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:40.200
<v Speaker 2>the ball five hundred feet or they're gonna have to

240
00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:42.440
<v Speaker 2>unscrew him because he's gonna swing so hard he'll be

241
00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:45.080
<v Speaker 2>stuck in the ground. Then he'll be fine. I do

242
00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:47.720
<v Speaker 2>think that will happen. I think he is waited for

243
00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:51.240
<v Speaker 2>this every moment he's played in the major leagues, and

244
00:12:51.320 --> 00:12:57.200
<v Speaker 2>now he has that moment. Freddie Freeman, let's touch on that.

245
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:03.279
<v Speaker 2>You know, Listen, Dave Roberts loves his guys. Loves his guys.

246
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:06.639
<v Speaker 2>Somebody gets hurt, Dave will get out there. When Freddie

247
00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:09.120
<v Speaker 2>Freeman went down, I thought Dave Roberts was running one

248
00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:10.000
<v Speaker 2>hundred meters dash.

249
00:13:10.039 --> 00:13:10.679
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he was.

250
00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:12.919
<v Speaker 1>He was running like he was running for the Boston

251
00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:15.200
<v Speaker 1>Red Sox when he stole second base when they won

252
00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:18.440
<v Speaker 1>the title back then. He Yeah, he sprinted to first

253
00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:21.519
<v Speaker 1>base to check on Freddy. And watching that thing, it

254
00:13:21.639 --> 00:13:23.840
<v Speaker 1>was awkward to begin with the way he went into

255
00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:27.480
<v Speaker 1>first play first base trying to sidestep it, and then

256
00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:35.399
<v Speaker 1>the rolling of the ankle. I was actually please because

257
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:37.720
<v Speaker 1>initially I didn't see the rolling of the ankle. I

258
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:40.879
<v Speaker 1>thought he did. Rodney, Yeah, I thought he had his

259
00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:43.480
<v Speaker 1>knee popped out or his knee. It was something going

260
00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:46.639
<v Speaker 1>on with his knee, and that would have been capastrophic.

261
00:13:47.720 --> 00:13:49.960
<v Speaker 1>But when he rolled his ankle, it's like, Okay, they're

262
00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:52.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna win the division. They're gonna have time off. He

263
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:54.879
<v Speaker 1>doesn't go to Colorado at all. He just rehabbed. Then

264
00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:58.480
<v Speaker 1>you have another week. He'll be fine. He'll be fine.

265
00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:00.759
<v Speaker 1>He'll be in a probably in a boot crutches for

266
00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:03.240
<v Speaker 1>the next week and a half and then they'll rehab it.

267
00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:05.799
<v Speaker 1>It'll be okay. But I was like, I was like,

268
00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:09.799
<v Speaker 1>Dave Roberts, wait, wait, what what? No, No, Freddy, and

269
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:14.440
<v Speaker 1>but hopefully he's he's gonna be okay. But the fact

270
00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:16.919
<v Speaker 1>that they didn't win and get the buy that's big.

271
00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:18.320
<v Speaker 4>No, that is big.

272
00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:21.559
<v Speaker 2>And I think because they've had to fight so hard

273
00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:24.960
<v Speaker 2>this year just to be where they're at. I mean,

274
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:26.879
<v Speaker 2>the Padres are the hottest team in baseball since see

275
00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:29.159
<v Speaker 2>All Star Break, and we all know the Dodgers have

276
00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:30.080
<v Speaker 2>not been the hottest team.

277
00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:32.720
<v Speaker 1>So nobody wants to see the Padres in the playoffs.

278
00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:35.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna tell you that right now. I know, I know,

279
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:39.960
<v Speaker 1>nobody I know. But the thing is, the thing is

280
00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:44.679
<v Speaker 1>given on hard. They've had to fight this year, there's

281
00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:47.480
<v Speaker 1>really been no downtime for them. So even though they

282
00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:50.279
<v Speaker 1>get the buye in that week and you remember last

283
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:53.440
<v Speaker 1>year they tried something different obviously didn't work, but uh,

284
00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:58.159
<v Speaker 1>in that week, you know, Freddie will rehab, they'll work out.

285
00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:01.120
<v Speaker 1>But I just think because they had work so hard

286
00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:03.799
<v Speaker 1>this year, that buye is not gonna be as much

287
00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:05.440
<v Speaker 1>of a problem as it's been in the past.

288
00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:07.200
<v Speaker 4>I agree, I agree.

289
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:11.360
<v Speaker 1>I think that they they got because I think deep down,

290
00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:13.480
<v Speaker 1>even though you're in it and you believe it, you

291
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:15.879
<v Speaker 1>gotta work hard and you got every everybody gets paid

292
00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:18.320
<v Speaker 1>and they're professionals on the other side, and they're good

293
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:22.559
<v Speaker 1>players out there on on every team, you still feel like,

294
00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:25.600
<v Speaker 1>we gotta gotta we got a monster of a team.

295
00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:27.600
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna blow people out this year. We're gonna run

296
00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:30.919
<v Speaker 1>away with this thing. You feel that it just subconsciously

297
00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:34.039
<v Speaker 1>you can't help it. And then when that doesn't happen

298
00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:36.840
<v Speaker 1>and teams are beating you and you're struggling, and you're

299
00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:40.519
<v Speaker 1>you gotta fight to win series. Not only just gets

300
00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:43.919
<v Speaker 1>good teams, but against mediocre teams, you they're they're battling you.

301
00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:48.759
<v Speaker 1>In a series, you do get a wake up call, going, Okay,

302
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:50.039
<v Speaker 1>it's not gonna be easy.

303
00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:51.600
<v Speaker 4>It's not gonna be easy.

304
00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Because if they would to cruised through like everybody thought

305
00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:58.480
<v Speaker 1>they were gonna do it, I just probably would have

306
00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:00.000
<v Speaker 1>went to Vegas and say, Dodger just don't win it,

307
00:16:01.039 --> 00:16:05.679
<v Speaker 1>because cruising through with adding O'tani in the lineup, in

308
00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:07.919
<v Speaker 1>Yamamoto and all the things that they had, if they

309
00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:11.919
<v Speaker 1>cruised through this season, it'd be like, it's too easy,

310
00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:14.440
<v Speaker 1>and it's not gonna be that easy in the postseason.

311
00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:17.120
<v Speaker 1>And you're right, the fact that they had to earn it,

312
00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:20.279
<v Speaker 1>the fact that they had to fight, is only gonna

313
00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:21.639
<v Speaker 1>be a good thing for the Dodgers.

314
00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:22.600

<v Speaker 4>We absolutely positively no, we don't. We don't care, Freddy, Let's.

330
00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:26.759
<v Speaker 2>Go all right, Uh, let's talk about by the way,

331
00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:28.480
<v Speaker 2>if you want to start dialing in if you were

332
00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:30.079
<v Speaker 2>there last Now do you want to talk about what

333
00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:31.200
<v Speaker 2>this division means?

334
00:17:31.240 --> 00:17:34.200
<v Speaker 4>And what does it mean? It means.

335
00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:38.400
<v Speaker 2>For eleven times and twelve years their division champs. But

336
00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:41.000
<v Speaker 2>are you to a point where you're saying, okay, that's great,

337
00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:43.079
<v Speaker 2>but now we need to see more A six six, nine,

338
00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:46.200
<v Speaker 2>eighty seven, two five seventy. Uh you let us know

339
00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:49.720
<v Speaker 2>and uh we'll put that in a bit. Let's get

340
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:54.759
<v Speaker 2>to Dave Roberts. And I watched him last night. I

341
00:17:54.880 --> 00:17:57.000
<v Speaker 2>watched him after the game on the field, I saw

342
00:17:57.079 --> 00:18:00.559
<v Speaker 2>him in the clubhouse afterwards. He's start to remind me

343
00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:03.640
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of assorta. He's got a little Losorta

344
00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:07.039
<v Speaker 2>in him. Now, what way are you talking about? And

345
00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:09.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm talking about in a good way. I'm talking about

346
00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:19.279
<v Speaker 2>in a good way, his enthusiasm, his honesty, that he

347
00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:23.119
<v Speaker 2>can always carry himself a certain way, and the majority

348
00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:27.480
<v Speaker 2>of those times is pretty positive. And when I saw

349
00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:31.480
<v Speaker 2>him celebrate last night Rodney, I thought that was genuine.

350
00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:35.559
<v Speaker 2>That was genuine. That was a show that was not

351
00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:40.880
<v Speaker 2>an act. And when they had won the World Series

352
00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:42.359
<v Speaker 2>and he came on the show and I asked him

353
00:18:42.359 --> 00:18:46.720
<v Speaker 2>a question, we are more excited or relieved? And I'll

354
00:18:46.720 --> 00:18:49.400
<v Speaker 2>never forget his answer, He goes, I was relieved we'd

355
00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:52.720
<v Speaker 2>won the World Series, And last night when I was

356
00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:55.680
<v Speaker 2>watching him, I got the same sense.

357
00:18:56.640 --> 00:18:57.519
<v Speaker 4>He was relieved.

358
00:18:58.160 --> 00:19:00.559
<v Speaker 2>We took care of what we had to take in

359
00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:04.759
<v Speaker 2>a year where quite frankly, we shouldn't have. I thought

360
00:19:04.799 --> 00:19:07.000
<v Speaker 2>he was relieved last and he'll never get the credit

361
00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:08.440
<v Speaker 2>for that. He'll never get the credit.

362
00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:12.400
<v Speaker 1>People don't really won't understand because Otani's such a bigger

363
00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:17.079
<v Speaker 1>than life story and player that it doesn't matter. It

364
00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:20.079
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter, Fred that you had all these injuries. It

365
00:19:20.079 --> 00:19:24.240
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter. And it's not injuries. We're not talking injuries

366
00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:27.759
<v Speaker 1>to the left fielder or injuries to position players where

367
00:19:28.319 --> 00:19:30.000
<v Speaker 1>you know you can bring guys up and they can

368
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:34.240
<v Speaker 1>play for a month or two. We're talking to injuries

369
00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:38.119
<v Speaker 1>to you were pitching staff that you counted on. You know,

370
00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:43.400
<v Speaker 1>it's not like positioned players. But it doesn't matter to

371
00:19:43.839 --> 00:19:45.960
<v Speaker 1>people when they look at it. And what I love

372
00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:49.759
<v Speaker 1>about him is that he has never wavered and he

373
00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:52.759
<v Speaker 1>believes in his club and he will never throw anybody

374
00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:59.079
<v Speaker 1>under the bus. And you could tell, and you talk

375
00:19:59.160 --> 00:20:02.160
<v Speaker 1>to anybody that's that plays for him, now, who ever

376
00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:04.839
<v Speaker 1>played for him, Go back and talk to Corey Seeger.

377
00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:06.720
<v Speaker 4>And and and and.

378
00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Justin Turner and whoever Corey, Cody Belly, all those guys

379
00:20:09.720 --> 00:20:12.720
<v Speaker 1>that play, they all love him. They all love him

380
00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:15.079
<v Speaker 1>because he's a stand up guy. He's a straight shooter.

381
00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:17.759
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna he's gonna love you. He's gonna tough love

382
00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:22.119
<v Speaker 1>you too. And I saw the same thing. And yes,

383
00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:25.440
<v Speaker 1>that World Series, he was definitely relieved, and I I

384
00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:29.400
<v Speaker 1>think I think this one was a little bit less

385
00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:32.240
<v Speaker 1>relieved than joy. To me, I think he felt like,

386
00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:36.599
<v Speaker 1>now it's time to go to work. Now I'm excited

387
00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:39.000
<v Speaker 1>about this. We got this behind us. Now it's time

388
00:20:39.079 --> 00:20:44.359
<v Speaker 1>to go to work. And I much like Tommy when

389
00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:49.079
<v Speaker 1>you mentioned Tommy, much like Tommy no matter what people say,

390
00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:52.599
<v Speaker 1>they're not gonna get under his skin. You know, people

391
00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:54.720
<v Speaker 1>could try to rask Tommy, try to get under his skin.

392
00:20:54.799 --> 00:20:56.799
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna getch you back with a joke, or he's

393
00:20:56.799 --> 00:20:58.559
<v Speaker 1>gonna hit you back with a clever line. Now he

394
00:20:58.640 --> 00:21:02.960
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have to the comedic elements as Tom of Lesorda,

395
00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:06.720
<v Speaker 1>but he's got that thick skin where he's not gonna

396
00:21:06.759 --> 00:21:09.680
<v Speaker 1>let he's not gonna let anybody get to him. And

397
00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:11.799
<v Speaker 1>it is gonna be what is gonna be, and he's

398
00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:14.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna keep smiling, keep doing things the way he's done it.

399
00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:19.839
<v Speaker 1>So I mean best winning percentage obviously in baseball, and yes,

400
00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:22.240
<v Speaker 1>only one World Series, and that's not good enough for

401
00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:25.400
<v Speaker 1>Dodger fans. If he was in any other city, any

402
00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:29.200
<v Speaker 1>other ball club, maybe other than New York, it would

403
00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:33.279
<v Speaker 1>be a tremendous feat and people would be celebrating him

404
00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:37.880
<v Speaker 1>left and right. He'd have billboards everywhere. But the Dodgers,

405
00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:43.079
<v Speaker 1>the standard is to win it all and that's where

406
00:21:43.079 --> 00:21:45.960
<v Speaker 1>it has to be. And that's good because they're in

407
00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:48.119
<v Speaker 1>a position to win it all every single year, which

408
00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:49.720
<v Speaker 1>is why guys want to come here, and which is

409
00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:50.839
<v Speaker 1>why Otani's here.

410
00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:53.000
<v Speaker 2>You know, if you think about it and you look

411
00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:55.359
<v Speaker 2>at the season in its totality, as you as a

412
00:21:55.359 --> 00:21:58.160
<v Speaker 2>fan do, and we talk about every day, you know,

413
00:21:58.319 --> 00:22:00.759
<v Speaker 2>your emotions are up and down. They stay right in

414
00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:02.599
<v Speaker 2>the middle. Don't get too high, don't get too low.

415
00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:05.799
<v Speaker 2>You know, Walker Bueler pitched well last night, but Walker

416
00:22:05.799 --> 00:22:08.200
<v Speaker 2>Buler had not been pitching well. And we go back

417
00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:11.640
<v Speaker 2>to when Gavin Lux was not hitting, and David Vasse

418
00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:14.079
<v Speaker 2>said before the trade deadline, who would even want him?

419
00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:16.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, couldn't even move them. But they're trying to give

420
00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:19.599
<v Speaker 1>them away. Remember he's dead. They're trying to give him away.

421
00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:19.960
<v Speaker 4>Right.

422
00:22:20.440 --> 00:22:23.799
<v Speaker 2>The thing that they do really well, and Dave Roberts

423
00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:25.440
<v Speaker 2>has said it to us in the past, and Andrew

424
00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:27.599
<v Speaker 2>Freeman has said it to us in the past, And

425
00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:30.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't know who else in life functions this way.

426
00:22:31.480 --> 00:22:39.039
<v Speaker 2>They just have incredible patience. Patience where you or I agonize,

427
00:22:39.279 --> 00:22:42.599
<v Speaker 2>oh god, they lost in Cincinnati last night, or somebody

428
00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:45.640
<v Speaker 2>made an error, or Lux has been zero for eight

429
00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:50.920
<v Speaker 2>in the last two games. They're very, very patient because

430
00:22:50.960 --> 00:22:53.400
<v Speaker 2>they believe, and I've talked about this in the past,

431
00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:57.839
<v Speaker 2>they know somebody's ceiling. If they think you've hit your ceiling.

432
00:22:57.880 --> 00:23:00.880
<v Speaker 2>They move you no matter what they thought of you,

433
00:23:01.039 --> 00:23:03.319
<v Speaker 2>no matter what kind of prospect you were supposed to be.

434
00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:09.119
<v Speaker 2>They have a system, they use analytics. They decide when

435
00:23:09.119 --> 00:23:12.680
<v Speaker 2>you've hit the ceiling. Sometimes they miss, but not very often.

436
00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:18.400
<v Speaker 2>And in doing that, they will sit with guys they

437
00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:22.039
<v Speaker 2>believe in sit with them. Let's be honest, do you

438
00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:25.000
<v Speaker 2>really think Walker Bueller, after the way he came back

439
00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:27.680
<v Speaker 2>would be out there pitching in that game last night

440
00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:32.119
<v Speaker 2>if they had anybody else. No, you don't, because you

441
00:23:32.160 --> 00:23:35.720
<v Speaker 2>didn't know what you'd get. But they were patient and

442
00:23:35.759 --> 00:23:39.160
<v Speaker 2>they sat with him and he looked very good last night.

443
00:23:40.119 --> 00:23:43.119
<v Speaker 2>That's a function of patience. That's what they do so

444
00:23:43.240 --> 00:23:46.680
<v Speaker 2>well I do. And so, by the way, Dave Roberts

445
00:23:46.799 --> 00:23:50.519
<v Speaker 2>has done another great job. Now, granted next week you'll

446
00:23:50.559 --> 00:23:52.960
<v Speaker 2>call and say fire him because it's Monday. That's fine,

447
00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:56.400
<v Speaker 2>but he has done a great job in a really

448
00:23:56.440 --> 00:23:59.960
<v Speaker 2>difficult year. And oftentimes when you have that much talent,

449
00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:03.039
<v Speaker 2>it's overlooked. He won't be a Manager of the Year.

450
00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:07.640
<v Speaker 2>He won't, but he should be because that's the kind

451
00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:10.200
<v Speaker 2>of job he did. One other thing I noticed on

452
00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:14.119
<v Speaker 2>the television broadcast last night, and I can't remember a time,

453
00:24:14.160 --> 00:24:16.680
<v Speaker 2>because I've been in that locker room so many times

454
00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:19.880
<v Speaker 2>when they won, I've never seen as many guys with

455
00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:20.599
<v Speaker 2>their shirts off.

456
00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:24.480
<v Speaker 4>That's a thing, now, that's a thing.

457
00:24:24.559 --> 00:24:27.359
<v Speaker 1>Kershaw started that back in the day, and now every

458
00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:30.960
<v Speaker 1>year more and more guys take their shirts off. It

459
00:24:31.599 --> 00:24:34.519
<v Speaker 1>was a Kershall thing. He did it a few years ago,

460
00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:37.839
<v Speaker 1>and before there was a lot of comments about it.

461
00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:41.319
<v Speaker 1>But then, you know, it became you know, let's just

462
00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:45.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, let's face it. You know, baseball guys don't

463
00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:51.240
<v Speaker 1>have the same bodies as basketball or football skill guys.

464
00:24:51.759 --> 00:24:51.920
<v Speaker 4>Right.

465
00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:54.720
<v Speaker 1>Baseball often is looked upon as a lot of guys

466
00:24:54.720 --> 00:25:00.160
<v Speaker 1>have dad bodies, right, right. But Kershaw took his shirt up,

467
00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:02.160
<v Speaker 1>and I think that that made a big splash a

468
00:25:02.200 --> 00:25:04.960
<v Speaker 1>few years ago, and so that became a thing, and

469
00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:07.359
<v Speaker 1>now everybody's doing it. A lot of guys are doing it,

470
00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:09.279
<v Speaker 1>you know and popping that champagne.

471
00:25:09.359 --> 00:25:11.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, a lot of guys at their shirt off. Last night.

472
00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:13.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, all right, let's go. Ronnie and Corona. Appreciate you

473
00:25:13.920 --> 00:25:17.079
<v Speaker 2>holding Ronnie. Come on the show. Were you there last night?

474
00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:21.119
<v Speaker 5>No, guys, I was there on Wednesday night and it

475
00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:23.920
<v Speaker 5>was actually a really good atmosphere to see the fans

476
00:25:23.920 --> 00:25:26.759
<v Speaker 5>out there supporting the Dodgers. Obviously, it was a very

477
00:25:27.559 --> 00:25:31.200
<v Speaker 5>nervous series for myself and I'm sure a lot of

478
00:25:31.240 --> 00:25:34.720
<v Speaker 5>other fans. Knowing that we're the number one seed. What

479
00:25:34.759 --> 00:25:36.799
<v Speaker 5>do you guys think about us? Because we're probably gonna

480
00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:40.960
<v Speaker 5>end up playing the Padres again. I almost want to say,

481
00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:42.720
<v Speaker 5>like it'd be better for us to be that number

482
00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:45.799
<v Speaker 5>two seed where we'd either have to face the Mets

483
00:25:45.920 --> 00:25:49.279
<v Speaker 5>or the Brewers. Because the Padres, I mean, they're on fire.

484
00:25:49.319 --> 00:25:49.519
<v Speaker 6>Man.

485
00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:51.400
<v Speaker 5>I hate to say it, but they look pretty good.

486
00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:52.839
<v Speaker 5>These last couple of games.

487
00:25:53.160 --> 00:25:53.839
<v Speaker 4>We clutched up.

488
00:25:53.880 --> 00:25:56.400
<v Speaker 5>We looked good, but they're they're a little you know,

489
00:25:57.039 --> 00:25:58.680
<v Speaker 5>I gotta admit, all.

490
00:25:58.680 --> 00:26:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Right, appreciate the call. Uh, Yeah, you don't want to

491
00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:05.880
<v Speaker 2>play the Padres. You're right, But didn't the Dodgers just

492
00:26:05.920 --> 00:26:09.319
<v Speaker 2>take two or three from them? Yeah you don't want

493
00:26:09.319 --> 00:26:11.720
<v Speaker 2>to play them? I agree, But now, when you get

494
00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:15.599
<v Speaker 2>into the playoffs, you play who you play to be

495
00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:17.920
<v Speaker 2>the best. You gotta beat the best. If they're there,

496
00:26:17.960 --> 00:26:21.720
<v Speaker 2>they gotta beat them. I think by taking two of three,

497
00:26:21.920 --> 00:26:26.440
<v Speaker 2>especially after what happened in that first game, psychologically, they've

498
00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:29.480
<v Speaker 2>delivered a message Now does it last?

499
00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:31.640
<v Speaker 4>Does it stick? Maybe not?

500
00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:34.880
<v Speaker 2>But I know the Dodgers probably if they play them,

501
00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:36.440
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna have a little pep in their step now,

502
00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:41.319
<v Speaker 2>little pep in their step because of what just happened.

503
00:26:41.640 --> 00:26:43.880
<v Speaker 2>So I know people are saying, don't play the Padres.

504
00:26:44.680 --> 00:26:47.920
<v Speaker 2>They just beat the Padres two of three games. So

505
00:26:48.119 --> 00:26:51.880
<v Speaker 2>who was that more important for the Dodgers beating them

506
00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:53.200
<v Speaker 2>or the Padres losing?

507
00:26:53.319 --> 00:26:54.599
<v Speaker 4>Right? Who had to have it more?

508
00:26:54.640 --> 00:26:56.400
<v Speaker 1>And it was the Padres had to have it more,

509
00:26:56.920 --> 00:26:58.640
<v Speaker 1>you know they, I mean, both teams wanted to win

510
00:26:58.680 --> 00:27:00.880
<v Speaker 1>the division, but the Padres, where the ones had their

511
00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:03.799
<v Speaker 1>backs against the wall, were losing. They were behind the Dodgers,

512
00:27:04.279 --> 00:27:06.519
<v Speaker 1>so they needed to sweep this series at least win

513
00:27:06.599 --> 00:27:09.920
<v Speaker 1>it in order to go win the division. Yes, they're

514
00:27:09.960 --> 00:27:12.640
<v Speaker 1>hot team, but the Dodgers, as you mentioned for it,

515
00:27:12.680 --> 00:27:15.640
<v Speaker 1>took two out of three in a series where the

516
00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:19.279
<v Speaker 1>Padres had a chance, had a chance to really to

517
00:27:19.319 --> 00:27:22.720
<v Speaker 1>win the division. And keep in mind, the Dodgers are

518
00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:25.920
<v Speaker 1>not locked in yet as the number one seed. They're

519
00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:29.359
<v Speaker 1>not locked in yet. All right, let's go to Sritos. Robert,

520
00:27:29.400 --> 00:27:31.680
<v Speaker 1>appreciate you holding. Were you there last night?

521
00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:38.599
<v Speaker 6>Oh? I'm talking about Dodger pitching in general. Right, you know,

522
00:27:38.680 --> 00:27:41.799
<v Speaker 6>speaking of patients, they have a reputation of fixing pictures,

523
00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:45.559
<v Speaker 6>but lately they seemed to just break them. And then

524
00:27:45.640 --> 00:27:50.440
<v Speaker 6>another point would be, happily they signed a broken pitcher

525
00:27:50.480 --> 00:27:54.119
<v Speaker 6>and now we're seeing one of the most exciting offensive

526
00:27:54.160 --> 00:27:57.680
<v Speaker 6>seasons they've seen in a long time. And my third

527
00:27:57.720 --> 00:28:01.759
<v Speaker 6>point would be, uh, the broken pitching staff could probably

528
00:28:01.880 --> 00:28:04.079
<v Speaker 6>use that deviant and the woman beater.

529
00:28:05.359 --> 00:28:08.519
<v Speaker 2>All right, Robert, thanks for calling Roberts Hall broken up.

530
00:28:08.799 --> 00:28:10.319
<v Speaker 2>The whole pitching staff has broken up.

531
00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:12.480
<v Speaker 4>So here's the thing. They know.

532
00:28:12.519 --> 00:28:16.599
<v Speaker 2>There's something wrong. You're not sharing something they don't already know,

533
00:28:16.680 --> 00:28:19.480
<v Speaker 2>and they've commented on that, and they've got to figure

534
00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:22.440
<v Speaker 2>out why so many of their guys have suffered these

535
00:28:22.519 --> 00:28:26.160
<v Speaker 2>arm injuries. So that's acknowledged. It's on the table. They

536
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:29.400
<v Speaker 2>know it. There's a problem, and they're going to figure

537
00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:32.440
<v Speaker 2>that out. But all that being said, at this point

538
00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:37.799
<v Speaker 2>in time, that doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. You gotta

539
00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:40.640
<v Speaker 2>go with what you got, and what you got was

540
00:28:40.640 --> 00:28:43.200
<v Speaker 2>good enough to get you here. So let's look at

541
00:28:43.240 --> 00:28:47.000
<v Speaker 2>the pitching. Yamamoto's last out, and he looked bad. Dylan

542
00:28:47.039 --> 00:28:50.880
<v Speaker 2>Hernandez told us yesterday he was sick, right, So is

543
00:28:50.920 --> 00:28:54.039
<v Speaker 2>that an aberration or will he look the way he

544
00:28:54.079 --> 00:28:58.440
<v Speaker 2>did the first two times out when he came back right.

545
00:28:58.799 --> 00:29:03.640
<v Speaker 2>Flaherty is a guy that's gritty and determined and he's

546
00:29:03.640 --> 00:29:05.960
<v Speaker 2>going to keep you in the game. And at this

547
00:29:06.119 --> 00:29:08.839
<v Speaker 2>point that's all you can ask. There is no ace,

548
00:29:09.000 --> 00:29:11.519
<v Speaker 2>there is no one going out there to mow people down.

549
00:29:12.319 --> 00:29:15.680
<v Speaker 2>You just want to be in the game. Walker Butler

550
00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:18.799
<v Speaker 2>last night, that could not have been more critical.

551
00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:22.039
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he pitched last night. He pitched. He really did.

552
00:29:22.079 --> 00:29:25.480
<v Speaker 1>He pitched last night instead of just being a thrower.

553
00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:28.359
<v Speaker 1>And and he has talked about it. We have talked

554
00:29:28.359 --> 00:29:31.160
<v Speaker 1>about it, Dave Roberts, everybody's talked about you know, he's

555
00:29:31.200 --> 00:29:34.079
<v Speaker 1>got to learn to pitch a little bit differently and

556
00:29:34.119 --> 00:29:37.599
<v Speaker 1>become a pitcher and not a thrower. Because guys can

557
00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:40.119
<v Speaker 1>catch up to the fastball, guys can hit the fastball.

558
00:29:40.279 --> 00:29:43.920
<v Speaker 1>It's about hitting your spots. And he he did that.

559
00:29:43.880 --> 00:29:45.319
<v Speaker 4>Last night with confidence.

560
00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:47.920
<v Speaker 1>It was it was like watching the old Walker Buhler,

561
00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:51.799
<v Speaker 1>to see his animation on the hill, him yelling at

562
00:29:51.799 --> 00:29:55.359
<v Speaker 1>the umpire, yelling after a strikeout, pumping his fists. You know,

563
00:29:55.519 --> 00:29:58.799
<v Speaker 1>if you thank God, he wasn't Mike because he used

564
00:29:58.799 --> 00:30:02.240
<v Speaker 1>every profanity in the but he was pumped up, and

565
00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:04.720
<v Speaker 1>it felt like it was the old Walker Buler.

566
00:30:04.480 --> 00:30:06.839
<v Speaker 4>Because of his animation and the way he was fired up.

567
00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:11.559
<v Speaker 2>Three weeks ago, by the way, I didn't. I'm sure

568
00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:14.279
<v Speaker 2>you didn't. You didn't think he'd pitched like that last

569
00:30:14.359 --> 00:30:17.839
<v Speaker 2>night three weeks ago, No way, no, three weeks ago

570
00:30:17.920 --> 00:30:19.480
<v Speaker 2>you were trying to figure out what to do with

571
00:30:19.559 --> 00:30:24.200
<v Speaker 2>him on the playoff roster. Where could you hide him

572
00:30:24.599 --> 00:30:26.839
<v Speaker 2>and maybe he could come in for an inning, and

573
00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:29.640
<v Speaker 2>then he turned into that last night. Let's go to Honolulu.

574
00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:32.559
<v Speaker 2>Our friend Angela has not checked in for a while,

575
00:30:32.640 --> 00:30:34.799
<v Speaker 2>and she is holding now Angela.

576
00:30:34.400 --> 00:30:35.680
<v Speaker 4>Aloha.

577
00:30:37.079 --> 00:30:43.440
<v Speaker 7>Aloha, Fred, fight on, Rodney, fight on. I saw your

578
00:30:43.440 --> 00:30:46.400
<v Speaker 7>boy and them celebrations over there, getting in his photo.

579
00:30:46.559 --> 00:30:48.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he was getting in him. Yes, he was got

580
00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:50.480
<v Speaker 1>a little champagne all over him too.

581
00:30:51.759 --> 00:30:56.119
<v Speaker 7>I bet he was happy. Yes, Hey, Fred, you know

582
00:30:56.759 --> 00:30:58.359
<v Speaker 7>your issue with the shirts.

583
00:30:58.519 --> 00:31:00.160
<v Speaker 3>Who wants to walk around.

584
00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:05.559
<v Speaker 7>In a soaked Budweiser shirt or a soaked Champagne shirt.

585
00:31:05.720 --> 00:31:07.240
<v Speaker 7>That's nasty, Fred.

586
00:31:07.839 --> 00:31:08.599
<v Speaker 4>I understand you.

587
00:31:10.640 --> 00:31:11.480
<v Speaker 7>Don't wear a shirt.

588
00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:16.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay, yeah, No, Angela's not a good look, it's not

589
00:31:16.839 --> 00:31:21.480
<v Speaker 2>let me Angela, angel for short haircut? What fred Angela?

590
00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:25.240
<v Speaker 2>You'd like, Angela? You liked seeing them of their shirts off,

591
00:31:25.279 --> 00:31:27.000
<v Speaker 2>didn't you?

592
