Last night, 11 00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:33.280 they tended to win over the New York Mets. Yoshanobi 12 00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:35.759 you have a modo pitch into the fifth inning. Sho 13 00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:41.200 hey Otani was absolutely fantastic last night, as was Mookie Betts, 14 00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:43.960 who went four for six, double a home run, drove 15 00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:46.759 in four runs. Tommy Edmund, the new cleanup hitter for 16 00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:50.159 the Dodgers, had two hits and three runs driven in. 17 00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:53.479 As the Dodgers are now of three games to one 18 00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:57.520 and this best of seven NLCS and Game five later 19 00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:00.600 on this afternoon, Marogo Casino Dodgers on Deck starts at 20 00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:04.239 one pm. First pitch from the Galpamotors broadcast booth is 21 00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:07.400 at two oh eight, and if you're Jack Flerity Saxy, 22 00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:10.280 you gotta be ready. You've got to be pumped up 23 00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:12.480 for a chance to close out the New York Mets 24 00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:15.079 and get to a World Series as a local kid 25 00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:17.280 who got to pitch already in this postseason. You saw 26 00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:19.560 the emotion from him and his mom after the game 27 00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:21.079 the other night against the Mets. 28 00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:22.879 I mean he I. 29 00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:25.680 Imagine he is probably looking at the clock state, sitting 30 00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:28.000 on top of his bend the hotel room, wishing it 31 00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:29.840 to be five oh eight Eastern so he can go 32 00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:30.799 out there already in pitch. 33 00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:33.519 Hey, he's got he's got a great history with it, 34 00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:37.560 a very recent history. Game one, seven to eighty shutdown. 35 00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:39.599 He did a great job with him. He can't wait 36 00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:41.760 to get at these guys. And you know the Mets 37 00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:43.560 know they're going to have their hands full with him too. 38 00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:47.920 The question more to me is how soon can the 39 00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:50.719 can the Dodgers get to David Peterson. I think that's 40 00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:53.000 gonna be the real key. I'm not really worried about Flarity. 41 00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:55.519 I think he's gonna pitches his normal self. He's going 42 00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:58.239 to be you know what. He was the workhorse for 43 00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:00.599 the Dodgers during the season, and I think he's gonna 44 00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:01.120 do that tonight. 45 00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:04.799 David Peterson a guy who's been in and out of 46 00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:08.199 the rotation ten to three this year, two ninety e 47 00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:12.120 r Ray. The Dodgers saw him on Sunday two in 48 00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:16.479 the third innings, gave up three runs on four hits. 49 00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:18.960 It's some familiarity there. They've seen him over the years. 50 00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:22.159 It's not like he's had a ton of success against 51 00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:25.280 the Dodgers in his career. And again, they've seen him 52 00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:28.000 a lot over the last couple of seasons. So it's 53 00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:30.280 a familiar left hander out there on the mound that 54 00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:32.840 he's been with the Mets for the last four plus seasons, 55 00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:35.639 coming out of the bullpen, making starts as well. So 56 00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:37.639 a familiar guy that will be out there. The Dodgers 57 00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:40.000 are facing Jack Felerry a chance to close it out 58 00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:42.599 for the Dodgers Game five again, first pitch at two 59 00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:45.400 to eight our time, five o eight Eastern and joining 60 00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:48.599 us from New York City after a late night at 61 00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:51.560 City Field last night. We appreciate Hi getting up this morning. That, 62 00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:53.599 of course, is the one and only David Vaz a 63 00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:54.840 DV Good morning. 64 00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:57.840 Buddy, Hey, good morning, guys. 65 00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:02.680 Morning this team last night, put it all together, Yoshanoba, 66 00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:05.919 Yamamodo on the mound, the bullpen, coming up big last night, 67 00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:09.159 putting up zeros afterwards, in the top of the lineup, delivering, 68 00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:12.360 Tommy Emmon delivering. They do it all without Freddie Freeman. 69 00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:16.159 Right now, the Dodgers, all things are clicking for him 70 00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:18.840 right now. This is some of the best baseball they've 71 00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:20.680 played collectively this season. 72 00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:25.159 David, Yeah, it's the best baseball they've played all season. 73 00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:28.599 And I know, going into the playoffs, everybody was so 74 00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:33.000 skeptical about how they would be able to navigate the 75 00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:37.039 postseason with a very thin starting staff. Well, the answer 76 00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:40.280 was scoring runs. You know, I've said this before. Other 77 00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:45.599 players told me from other teams that the Dodgers needed 78 00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:48.599 to score at least five or six runs a game 79 00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:52.479 to be able to run the table. And they certainly 80 00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:55.520 have done that in a resounding fashion in their three 81 00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:59.319 wins in this NLCS. They have dominated the Mets with 82 00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:02.719 their offense. Sand you know, that makes life a lot 83 00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:06.240 easier for Dave Roberts to execute the pitching game plan. 84 00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:09.039 You know, when you have a six run lead in 85 00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:09.840 the fifth. 86 00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:12.719 Inning, Hi, Hi, David, good to be with you this morning. 87 00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:15.599 I wanted to ask you this situation with last night. 88 00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:18.879 Phillips was out there with an ending in the third, 89 00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:22.439 trying inning in the third as well. Are these guys 90 00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:25.199 available for tonight? How's the situation look for the bullpen? 91 00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:28.279 I think pretty strong, But are they at one hundred 92 00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:31.120 percent the availability out there given the fact that these 93 00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:32.600 other guys pitched last night? 94 00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:37.160 Yeah, you know, Michael Kopek has only pitched once in 95 00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:41.399 this series. Blake Trinan has pitched back to back. Would 96 00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:43.839 he go three in a row? That remains to be seen. 97 00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:46.839 But you know, it feels like the Dodgers have been 98 00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:50.000 able to, like I said, you take the advantage of 99 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:52.839 their offense and not have to push these guys too far. 100 00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:56.839 And if it's a close game going into the seventh, eighth, 101 00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:59.600 and ninth, Innik Steve it's a chance to go to 102 00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:03.160 the World Series. I would not see any hesitation by 103 00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:06.199 Dave Roberts to go to those guys to close out 104 00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:08.800 this game. Now, the one thing the Dodgers have been 105 00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:13.680 very fortunate they have played close games. Their relievers have 106 00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:16.480 not given up the leads. Because if you start using 107 00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:18.959 your high leverage relievers as we saw last night in 108 00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:22.519 the Yankees Cleveland game, and it goes to extra innings. 109 00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:25.720 The way that these managers and teams are being so 110 00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:29.240 overly aggressive early in the game, you're really left with 111 00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:33.120 not much in those type of situations. So the Dodgers 112 00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:35.560 have been very fortunate in that department as well. But 113 00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:39.079 to your question, yes, I feel like all those guys 114 00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:42.319 have not been pushed too far. I know Phillips through 115 00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:47.199 thirty four pitches last night. He wouldn't go for any plus, 116 00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:51.319 that's for sure. But if there was two or three 117 00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:54.199 batters that the Dodgers needed him to get, I don't 118 00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:55.920 believe Dave Roberts would hesitate. 119 00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:58.360 I thought a sneaky good move that they made last 120 00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:00.639 night was Tommy Edmund put him in the clean spot 121 00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:03.160 David and it paid off. He drove in three runs, 122 00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:05.759 but kind of felt like he was a bridge between 123 00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:07.959 the big guys at the top of the lineup and 124 00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:10.600 the bottom of the lineup and getting on base, driving 125 00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:13.439 in runs, and letting the guys behind them then do 126 00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:14.600 the damage that they did. 127 00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:19.639 Yeah, you know, Tommy Edmund had hit cleanup for the 128 00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:22.800 Dodgers this season a handful of times. It was the 129 00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:25.560 first time in his major league career that he had 130 00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:29.399 ever done that. And look, he's not going to try 131 00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:32.319 to beat John Carlos Stanton just because he's hitting Ford. 132 00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:35.920 He's just another piece to what you mentioned earlier, a 133 00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:39.759 full one through nine lineup that is very connected. And 134 00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:43.399 there's an argument to be made that Tommy Edmond is 135 00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:47.959 a leading candidate to be the NLCSMVP. He's hitting four 136 00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:50.600 to twelve, He's driven in a run in every one 137 00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:53.639 of the games, and right now, in my mind, the 138 00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:57.160 two candidates are Jack Flaherty if he pitches well again, 139 00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:00.120 and Tommy Edmund. But Tommy Edmond under the radar, has 140 00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:00.959 been really good. 141 00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:03.879 Yeah, David, I look at it on the other side 142 00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:06.519 and what would have to be done to kind of 143 00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:09.399 mitigate what the Mets can put out at you. I 144 00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:11.360 think they've done a really good job in the middle 145 00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:13.680 of that order. Vientos has been good for the team 146 00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:16.639 in Lindor as well, but they've really been able to 147 00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:22.040 silence what Alonzo's effective effectiveness should have been him and Nimo. 148 00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:24.879 I think the Dodgers have done a really, really super 149 00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:27.160 good job on those two guys, and if you keep 150 00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:29.319 those guys off I mean, you're gonna be able to 151 00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:33.199 limit the you know, the capacity of what this lineup 152 00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:33.759 can put out. 153 00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:39.079 Yeah, it kind of feels like even when Lindor's energy 154 00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:42.519 went down yesterday, Steve, it just feels like the Dodgers 155 00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:46.319 broke the spirit of the Mets, who have had such 156 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:49.360 a great season coming back from being dead to rights 157 00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:54.040 in May. But this crowd has been emptied out. The 158 00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:57.519 Dodgers have emptied out City Field the first two nights here, 159 00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:02.079 and I feel like they've broken the spirit of Queens 160 00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:04.240 with the way they've dominated the Mets so far. 161 00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:04.920 David, do you. 162 00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:06.800 Expect Freddy Freeman to be back in the lineup for 163 00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:07.959 Game five this afternoon. 164 00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:11.800 That's a great question. There's an argument to be made 165 00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:14.199 that the Dodgers can do it without him and get 166 00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:18.160 them ready for the World Series. But I expect Freddy 167 00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:19.680 to be in there a chance to go to the 168 00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:23.480 World Series. I don't see him saying no. And if 169 00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:25.959 Dave Roberts even brought the subject to him, I would 170 00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:28.079 say that he would put up a fight to be 171 00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:30.639 out there if his ankle's feeling better. 172 00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:33.320 Yeah, Dave, Dave, last one for me, I wanted to 173 00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:36.639 ask you you know the matchup that we saw yesterday 174 00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:40.360 with Quintana. I think this is a terrible matchup for 175 00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:43.080 the Mets. The Dodgers are a team that doesn't chase. 176 00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:48.440 Kintana makes his living by having teams chase what he's 177 00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:50.960 doing just outside of the strike zone. That's where he's 178 00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:54.320 really effective. And sooner or later, if you drag that 179 00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:56.960 guy out, he's got to come into the into the 180 00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:00.240 strike zone, and his stuff is not that great where 181 00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:02.799 he can get people out all the time living in 182 00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:04.799 the strike zone. He's got to be outside of it, 183 00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:06.120 and the Dodgers don't do that. 184 00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:10.440 You can see the look on his face last night, 185 00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:13.080 Steve that he was fit to be tied because of 186 00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:16.919 all those reasons that you just mentioned. Dan, You're right, 187 00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:21.879 he did look yeah, yeah, I mean like you're right. 188 00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:25.360 It's a bad matchup for the Mets. It really is there. 189 00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:29.360 They are overmatched in this series, and it just proves 190 00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:33.200 to show how good the Padres were because there is 191 00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:36.159 a certain step down in class level as far as 192 00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:39.039 talent goes between these two teams. 193 00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:41.519 All right, final thing for me, David, and I think 194 00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:45.080 the biggest question everybody's wondering is if the Dodgers are 195 00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:47.840 to win and celebrate a chance to go to the 196 00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:50.840 World Series. Are you going to be able to change 197 00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:53.519 and shower and do that before you get on a 198 00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:56.320 plane and fly across back the country to LA. 199 00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:00.879 I don't think anybody's asked that question and accept you, 200 00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:08.039 but shower, shower is not available. I'm gonna have to 201 00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:10.440 Uh you just reminded me. I'll bring a towel from 202 00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:14.600 the hotel right now. Actually, thank you. I will not 203 00:10:14.759 --> 00:10:17.440 be able to shower. I have a change of clothes, 204 00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:19.960 but uh no showers in the press box. 205 00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:22.919 Tim All right, well, maybe I'll change soon. All right, David, 206 00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:25.320 We appreciate you being up this morning. Looking forward to a 207 00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:28.039 great coverage all day long here on AM five to 208 00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:31.320 seventy Morongo Casino, Dodgers on deck starting at one o'clock, 209 00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:33.639 first pitch of two o eight and who knows, maybe 210 00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:35.720 a celeration around five o'clock Pacific. 211 00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:39.080 We shall see.

They show this 217 00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:50.519 new thing out. 218 00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:52.919 It's called I forget the name of it, but it's like, uh, 219 00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:54.840 you take a bath with the kind of like a 220 00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:58.679 sponge bath with these with these new tallettes or whatever 221 00:10:58.720 --> 00:10:59.320 they are. 222 00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:00.679 All the skunkies, skunkies. 223 00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:02.759 Yes, do you ever get a skunky? 224 00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:03.720 Uh? 225 00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:04.240 No? 226 00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:04.639 No? 227 00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:05.879 Okay, yeah, I guess. 228 00:11:06.080 --> 00:11:09.720 I guess we're pretty good. I know you name it that. 229 00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:11.840 I don't get the name. I don't I don't understand 230 00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:12.200 that name. 231 00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:13.840 It's yeah, I don't know. 232 00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:15.720 But you know, you know what David said it was 233 00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:18.440 there was kind of like a dangerous thing. And the 234 00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:20.240 way I look at this is he said they're a 235 00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:22.679 step down in class. You know what he's saying is true. 236 00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:25.039 I mean, the team knows it. The team knows playing 237 00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:27.919 this team against playing the Padres. We knew it. When 238 00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:30.480 we played the Oakland A's against the Mets. The Mets 239 00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:33.519 were way better team, no no question about it. But 240 00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:37.879 that's dangerous because just when you have those people right 241 00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:40.879 where you think you did where you want them, bang, 242 00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:43.879 they just surprise you. Three guys go off and they're 243 00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:46.759 having you know, the series of their live Two guys 244 00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:49.600 are playing with their hair on fire. The umpires given 245 00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:52.039 the the pitching staff for the for the Mets. You 246 00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:54.440 know a little more than the corner, and pretty soon 247 00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:56.720 you find yourself in a game seven. You don't want 248 00:11:56.720 --> 00:12:00.159 to do that, and this team is very, very dangerous. 249 00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:01.080 Don't go there. 250 00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:04.200 Wipe them out tonight, squash them like a bug. That's it, 251 00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:05.799 Olivia and Montabella. 252 00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:07.919 Olivia, thanks for being patient and joining us here on 253 00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:09.559 a five seventy l A Sports. 254 00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:15.480 Hi Olivia, Hi, good morning morning, guys, Go Dodgers. So 255 00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:18.440 a couple of things. Number one, I think we're going 256 00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:20.799 to do it tonight. I have confidence in our boys. 257 00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:22.960 I think we're gonna you know, everybody wants to stay 258 00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:24.360 at home, so I think we're gonna do it. I 259 00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:26.960 know we're gonna do it. Number two, I think it's 260 00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:31.039 gonna be Dodgers and Yankees, just like every buddy he's 261 00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:34.039 waiting for. But I also feel like I think it 262 00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:37.120 was sacri Kith earlier said that one of their friends 263 00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:40.519 is nervous about playing the Dodgers. I'm nervous about playing 264 00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:41.039 the Yankees. 265 00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:41.879 I think there's sack. 266 00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:44.639 I'm a little I don't know, I'm scared and I 267 00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:46.960 want to see like what your guys's take on it is. 268 00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:49.320 And if we do face the Yankees, how. 269 00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:50.960 Do you think it's gonna look? Are you guys nervous 270 00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:51.200 at all? 271 00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:54.840 A little nervous, Olivia. That's why my tombs are going 272 00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:57.440 to come in very handy. Yes, during a world series. 273 00:12:57.519 --> 00:12:59.960 So you're going to be the the international spokesperson. 274 00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:02.840 You and Yama Modo, Yes, me and Yoshiyama Mood are 275 00:13:02.840 --> 00:13:07.120 gonna be the two the global ambassadors. Is gonna work, hopefully, Acid, 276 00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:09.320 I mean, well, I'm not just limiting myself to Tom's 277 00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:10.679 you know, if there's others out there that want to 278 00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:11.399 jump on board. 279 00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:15.679 Well, but you got to tie in the Yammy, Yummy tummy, Timmy. 280 00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:17.919 All that stuff works. That's true, you know what I mean, 281 00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:20.000 that's true. It does tie in there with the name 282 00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:22.519 and everything. The Yankees. 283 00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:25.639 I mean that it's no, no, it's no tie in. Okay, 284 00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:27.919 go ahead, the Yankees. 285 00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:30.200 I mean, assuming they get past the Guardians and they 286 00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:32.399 still got a series to play here up to games 287 00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:34.360 to one, and who knows that Guardians could tie this 288 00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:36.759 thing up later on today. But if the Yankees were 289 00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:40.080 to prevail, Baseball certainly wants the Dodgers Yankees World Series. 290 00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:41.759 I think the fan bases would want them. I think 291 00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:44.919 even the fringe baseball fans would be intrigued by a 292 00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:48.679 New York LA World Series. And it certainly you've got 293 00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:52.000 the stars to have to have a series that a 294 00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:54.879 lot of people will be tuning into. Matchup wise, just 295 00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:57.480 kind of quickly. I mean, your first impression is a 296 00:13:57.519 --> 00:13:59.759 matchup against the Yankees. They match up well. 297 00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:02.720 Okay. First of all, if if I was working in 298 00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:06.480 a professional uh you know, capacity with the Dodgers, I 299 00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:08.960 would say, shame on you, because we're not gonna even 300 00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:11.279 go there. It's looking too far ahead, okay, and it's 301 00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:14.919 bad karma to go far that far ahead. But because 302 00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:18.240 we're not doing that, when we're just two guys talking 303 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:20.879 here and everybody else is listening, nobody else, I would 304 00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:24.840 say that it's the Yankees are really good. They've got 305 00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:27.360 all of it. They've got the big stars, they've got 306 00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:30.159 the slug, they've got pitching, they've got a great bullp 307 00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:32.840 They've got all of it, man, there's no question about it. 308 00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:36.159 And they've got some they've got kind of a team 309 00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:37.960 a little bit like the Dodgers. They got you know 310 00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:40.559 Volpe over there shortstop. It kind of does everything. And 311 00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:43.639 they've got guys that do their parts. If you will, 312 00:14:44.039 --> 00:14:46.840 and you know they're gonna be it'll be a good matchup. 313 00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:48.679 It'll be fantastic matchup. 314 00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:51.759 Baseball's got their fingers crossed and it is a matchup 315 00:14:51.799 --> 00:14:54.799 we all can get here in the upcoming World Series. 316 00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:57.440 The Dodgers still one went away from punching their ticket 317 00:14:57.679 --> 00:14:59.759 to the Fall Classic. With thanks to David Vasse for 318 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:01.080 going on. We'll get to you for more of your 319 00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:03.919 phone calls. Stephen Nelson will join us as well as 320 00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:07.279 we head to nine o'clock this morning. Colin Coward then 321 00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:10.320 takes over Rogan and Rodney for one hour and sprint 322 00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:13.360 between noon and one, and then as Marago Casino Dodgers 323 00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:15.960 on deck at one, first pitch for the morale Gallpa 324 00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:18.279 Motors broadcast booth coming up at two to zero waight 325 00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:22.639 Game five and the NLCS Dodgers win and they're in 326 00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:25.080 to the World Series for the fourth time in the 327 00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:27.720 past eight years. It's Sax and Kate's and am right 328 00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:37.360 here on a FI seventy light Sports. I'm not surprised 329 00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:39.279 that the Dodgers have beat them down. The Dodgers are 330 00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:43.399 a superior team in my in my estimation, they're they 331 00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:47.159 are better ball club, but they are still dangerous. So 332 00:15:47.200 --> 00:15:50.480 that's that's kind of like the back and forth about it. 333 00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:53.159 But I'm not surprised that the Dodgers are beating them down. 334 00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:56.000 They man, this is a good team. This is this 335 00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:58.000 might be the best Dodger team I've ever seen. 336 00:15:58.360 --> 00:15:58.840 Wow. 337 00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:02.960 Wow, Yeah, that is saying a lot. I mean it, 338 00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:07.840 I mean, this is think about it. Look at all aspects, pitching, defense, power, 339 00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:11.759 I mean, panash, They've got all of it on this 340 00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:15.039 team and the team. The best thing that the team 341 00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:18.320 has tim The best thing that the team has is 342 00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:23.480 its unity. And the team is really really in its 343 00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:27.320 raw sense, the team is hungry. The team wants to 344 00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:31.919 win really bad. And you can talk about, you know, 345 00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:35.039 players being pampered with money and all that, that didn't 346 00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:38.759 mean a damn thing to the Dodgers. They want to win. 347 00:16:39.720 --> 00:16:43.720 And that's where you have this club right now. It 348 00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:46.320 doesn't guarantee it. You still got to beat these guys 349 00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:49.159 and then you got to beat probably the Yankees. So 350 00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:52.960 it doesn't guarantee anything, because anything can happen at a 351 00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:56.159 certain at a certain time. You could get the Tampa 352 00:16:56.200 --> 00:16:59.039 Bay Rays. You could get you could get the Pittsburgh Pirates, 353 00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:01.879 you could get any team that you look at and 354 00:17:01.879 --> 00:17:04.799 you say, well, really not a scary powerhouse. But in 355 00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:08.440 seven games, any team can win. That's the way baseball is. 356 00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:10.519 You get hot for three or four days, that's it, 357 00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:13.079 and you're you're gonna upset a team. 358 00:17:13.480 --> 00:17:17.039 Father Gary is back, Father Gary in Good. 359 00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:21.640 Morning for Gary, Good morning je. I'm thrilled with what's 360 00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:24.519 going on. But let's remember a week ago today we 361 00:17:24.519 --> 00:17:28.920 were praying to win Game five against the Padres. So 362 00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:31.319 let's not get ahead of ourselves and talk about those 363 00:17:31.799 --> 00:17:34.240 yanks out there on the East Coast. Let's worry about 364 00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:36.839 the Mets. Let's have the attitude that Max months he 365 00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:40.839 had when postgame interview last night, when they told him 366 00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:45.000 about the twelfth consecutive on basis appearances, he said he 367 00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:46.960 had no clue and he just wanted to do whatever 368 00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:48.920 he could do to help the team win. That's the 369 00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:51.240 attitude we need man, not only on the field, but 370 00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:54.519 on these streets as well. Of La Man, Let's take 371 00:17:54.519 --> 00:17:58.160 a lesson from the Dodgers. Let's move forward. Let's go 372 00:17:58.759 --> 00:18:03.200 I love this team and mister Sachs, I agree, probably 373 00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:06.039 the best Dodger team ever. Just so much fun to watch, 374 00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:09.480 and it's just great even watching Clayton Kershaw in the 375 00:18:09.519 --> 00:18:13.359 dugout sharing on his team and Freddie Freeman. You guys, 376 00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:16.319 just tell me this is not a dream. Tell me 377 00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:17.319 this is really happening. 378 00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:20.640 Thank you, It's really happening, Father Gary, And we appreciate 379 00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:23.119 the phone call. We appreciate your faith and certainly the 380 00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:26.759 prayers were answer for game five, Yes of the NLDS 381 00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:30.960 last Friday. Yeah, it's a fun ride and it is happening. 382 00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:33.720 It is for real. Diana and Gernada Hills has been 383 00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:36.839 waiting patiently. We appreciate that. Diana, good morning, how are you? 384 00:18:38.039 --> 00:18:40.200 Good morning? I'm well, how are you guys doing today? 385 00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:43.240 Fantastic, awesome, awesome. 386 00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:46.240 Just a couple of quick things. Number One, when Fat 387 00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:48.640 said about, you know, the Mets being a step down 388 00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:51.799 in class, we cannot forget the last two years with 389 00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:56.240 the Arizona Cardinals and the Nationals and even San Diego 390 00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:58.559 Padres a couple of years ago. I mean, they were 391 00:18:58.599 --> 00:19:00.000 a step down in class to us. 392 00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:00.720 What happened? 393 00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:04.119 We were blown out by them, so we cannot let 394 00:19:04.160 --> 00:19:07.759 our foot off the pedal for sure. Secondly, I just 395 00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:10.920 want to say that this team, for me is just 396 00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:14.920 the most cohesive team I've seen since probably the twenty 397 00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:19.079 seventeen year. And the only difference for me between twenty 398 00:19:19.119 --> 00:19:22.799 seventeen and now is our bullpen pitching is lights out. 399 00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:25.480 Before when we would take out our starting pitchers, which 400 00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:30.359 inevitably seemed too early for me, you know, I would 401 00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:32.880
