Things escalated in the sixth inning between 24 00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:28.560 Manny Machado and Jack Felarity, and then things really spiraled 25 00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:31.159 out of control in the seventh inning when fans started 26 00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:33.959 throwing things onto the field and into the Padres bullpen. 27 00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:37.480 The game was delayed for ten minutes as security came 28 00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:40.760 onto the field Dodger fans cooler heads prevailed for the 29 00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:43.439 remainder of the game, but it certainly not the best 30 00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:46.959 moment for Dodger fans last night out of Dodger Stadium. 31 00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:49.599 And again, not condoning what happened last night, Saxy, but 32 00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:53.280 certainly understand the frustration. And I'm certainly seeing it on 33 00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:56.879 Twitter and x right now as people, you know, not 34 00:01:56.879 --> 00:01:59.680 not condoning either of what happened, but certainly voicing their 35 00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:04.519 fresh and saying, hey, I understand what happened last night, 36 00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:06.560 not the throwing the stuff on the field, but certainly 37 00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:08.560 the reaction to fans to being upset. 38 00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:11.759 Yeah, and like we said before, nobody hurt. Okay, let's 39 00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:14.159 stop it there, but hey, you know what the the 40 00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:18.039 the taunting that you get from the Padres and they 41 00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:19.919 can they can gin it up. I mean, you know, 42 00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:22.639 Profar catches the ball and you know Tatoos is out 43 00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:24.439 there doing it like it looks like a poled ant 44 00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:27.719 sometimes whatever. You know, it can gin up the fans, 45 00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:28.199 no question. 46 00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:30.599 I got a text from a buddy who said, being 47 00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:32.719 at the game last night, it felt like a w 48 00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:38.080 W E experience in the seventh inning, And I said, 49 00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:40.400 what do you mean? And he said, the fans in 50 00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:45.800 the stands, the excitement, the the building up of the 51 00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:50.240 frustration and then just the explosion, so to speak, from 52 00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:52.759 the fans and the reaction. But then he said, the 53 00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:56.360 player's reaction on the field, you know, the the jumping 54 00:02:56.439 --> 00:02:59.479 around from Tatise and Profar showing the reaction that he 55 00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:03.159 did escalated things on the field. And here's let's hear 56 00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:05.879 post game for Fernando Tatist Junior last night, one of 57 00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:08.400 the Padre players in which Dodgers were letting out their 58 00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:10.360 frustration in the seventh thing last night. 59 00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:14.039 Definitely while here, but at the same time as a 60 00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:17.280 good environment for baseball, although people get carried out away 61 00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:19.960 a little bit for the emotions, you know, but I 62 00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:22.840 mean it's a good back and forth, and you know, 63 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:24.240 at the end of the day, it is the show 64 00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:26.080 and I wish you enjoyed every moment. 65 00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:28.159 How did you feel about what took place on the 66 00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:30.039 top of the seventh inning with the things coming on 67 00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:31.639 the field security. 68 00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:35.840 I just think, like I said, just the emotion is 69 00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:40.639 going through the roof. You know, Dodger fans, they were 70 00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:43.080 just not happy. I mean, they're losing a game, obviously, 71 00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:46.520 and just a lot of back and forth. And what 72 00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:49.199 can I say was I wish they could control a 73 00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:50.759 little bit more of their emotion. 74 00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:53.319 But at the end of the day, and I see 75 00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:54.080 this as part of. 76 00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:55.719 A game, at what point did it kind of escalate 77 00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:57.919 the back and forth with you and the fans out 78 00:03:57.919 --> 00:03:58.360 here tonight? 79 00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:03.199 For me, I feel like just when I went over 80 00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:05.400 the line when to start throwing stuff into the field, 81 00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:08.159 I feel like then that should not be happening on 82 00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:09.319 a big league game. 83 00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:10.560 And then the words. 84 00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:13.479 I mean, you know, fans are coming over here to 85 00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:15.719 a baseball park to enjoy themselves. 86 00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:17.000 They can say whatever they want. 87 00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:20.319 I really don't know mine how I'll start shipping bag 88 00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:24.120 and you know, back, I'll give you a moment of 89 00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:26.519 you know where you can enjoy yourself, just me talking 90 00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:29.279 to you as a fan, and yeah, just I just 91 00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:31.920 see it that way and I embrace embrace it that way, 92 00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:32.720 all right. 93 00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:36.800 I want to pick up on what he said right there, Sexy, 94 00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:40.800 because as a player, you can go back. Can you 95 00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:43.439 go back and forth with fans? Is that your spot 96 00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:46.439 to be doing that? And especially when things escalate like 97 00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:50.240 they did, to continue to almost be an instigator on 98 00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:52.439 the field in which you know, the emotions are high, 99 00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:55.920 fans are not happy, they're frustrated with their team's performance, 100 00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:59.600 and you're continuing to make gestures and you know, probably 101 00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:03.639 malthy things back to fans. You're not helping the cause, certainly, 102 00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:06.279 But at what point is going back and forth with 103 00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:08.839 fans crossing the line? He said, crossing the line was 104 00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:11.360 when throwing things on the field started, and certainly it 105 00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:13.199 was from the fans side of it, but from the 106 00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:16.160 player's side of it, you can't be going back and 107 00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:18.439 forth with fans like that. You're asking for it. 108 00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:22.439 From a player's perspective, you're held to a little bit 109 00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:25.959 of a higher standard and you're not supposed to be 110 00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:28.319 as far as I'm concerned. You know, you can say 111 00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:30.120 whatever you want but you know what, if you get 112 00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:32.079 into it, you have a game to play. Don't you 113 00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:34.240 have something more important to do than be, you know, 114 00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:37.079 going back and forth with the fans. I mean, you've 115 00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:39.240 got more important things to do, and you shouldn't be 116 00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:41.800 doing that. And I know there's lapses in time where 117 00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:44.079 you can kind of, you know, say whatever you want, 118 00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:47.959 timeouts and whatever. But nonetheless, I think your concentration should 119 00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:50.959 be on the field. And look, the fans pay to 120 00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:53.600 come to the ballpark and get riled up and say when, 121 00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:56.040 yell and whatever they want. That's fine. Do not throw 122 00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:58.319 things on the field though. That's where you're crossing the line. 123 00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:01.240 That's that's the barrier right there. That's where it should be. 124 00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:03.680 Don't throw things on the field. Somebody's gonna get hurt. 125 00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:06.439 And I'll tell you one thing, nobody instigated it more 126 00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:09.560 than Tommy Lasorda at Candlestick Park when he used to 127 00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:11.879 walk out, you know, from the dugout that was in 128 00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:15.959 right field, and I mean from the clubhouse and under 129 00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:18.560 right field stands and walk across the field, you know, 130 00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:21.360 across the pitcher's mountain into the dugout at third base, 131 00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:24.360 all the while blowing kisses to the fans like three 132 00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:27.560 minutes before the game started, and he did it on purpose. 133 00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:30.240 Battery's thrown at him and he loved it. You know, 134 00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:33.720 he weathered the storm. But there's ways that you can 135 00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:35.959 get at the fans, There's no doubt about that. But 136 00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:38.160 you can't be throwing things. That's that's where you got 137 00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:38.759 to draw the line. 138 00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:41.720 Yeah, and I unfortunately this is a Padres team, as 139 00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:45.199 you alluded to earlier, Saxy. They feed off of this. 140 00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:49.759 They're almost like a villain in the WWE. They love it, 141 00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:52.040 they want to keep doing it, they want the booze, 142 00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:55.800 they want the attention on them because they thrive off 143 00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:58.600 of it. And Manny Machado tried to diffuse the situation 144 00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:01.959 in the dugout with his team, which I thought showed 145 00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:03.920 a lot of maturity. I think it was going into 146 00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:06.000 the top half of the eighth innan after the long 147 00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:08.879 ten minute delay and you Darvish comes out, gives up 148 00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:10.800 a lead off walk but is able to get out 149 00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:13.279 of it. No damage done on the San Diego side 150 00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:15.920 as far as no runs on the board. He gathered 151 00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:19.040 his team in the dugout and from what we understand 152 00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:21.240 he said is, hey, we got to calm down. We 153 00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:24.600 can't get caught up in this emotional game with the 154 00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:26.800 fans and here Dodgers dandy. We got to get the 155 00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:28.920 final outs and we got to get out of here 156 00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:31.120 with this win. So I thought that was a sign 157 00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:33.959 of maturity for Manny Machado. But also I think there 158 00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:36.639 was a good job by him trying to de escalate 159 00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:38.279 things with his teammates. 160 00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:41.319 Yeah, and sometimes when I tell people, you know, I 161 00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:44.759 like Machado, I like because I think he's a good player. 162 00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:48.439 I don't think he's built up all, you know about 163 00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:51.480 all that stuff that you know people say about him. Yeah, 164 00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:53.879 but you know what he's aligning Rod too. I mean, 165 00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:56.199 people love to go at him, you know, he's he 166 00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:59.079 he has that kind of a brash swag to him, 167 00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:01.199 and so I get it, you know, but he's willing 168 00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:02.759 to accept it. But I thought what he did in 169 00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:05.120 the dugout was good. Kind of got the team central 170 00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:07.720 and in and away from all that stuff on the periphery. 171 00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:09.639 Let's just get back to what we have to do 172 00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:11.199 here and then get the heck out of here and 173 00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:13.279 go down to San Diego and regroup again. So I 174 00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:14.560 thought that was a good thing that he did. 175 00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:17.040 With this all being said, sexually, we talk about the 176 00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:21.160 game of baseball and it being a slow paced game 177 00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:23.319 and they're trying to speed it up and needing more 178 00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:27.360 action and thriving more with the young generation that just 179 00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:30.000 got the the attention span of a gnat, you know, 180 00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:33.200 when everything in the in reels and quick movements on 181 00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:37.039 their phones. With all that being said, you know, the 182 00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:41.440 drawing back and forth and the the the the back 183 00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:44.679 and forth between the two teams, you know, it's it 184 00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:48.120 sort of fits this younger generation as far as what 185 00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:51.039 they want and for the game of baseball. I kind 186 00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:53.080 of say, hey, pump the brakes. I love the game 187 00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:55.519 of baseball and the purity of the sport and and 188 00:08:55.639 --> 00:08:58.440 the history of the game. But I kind of feel 189 00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:00.159 like we're going down a path here with all these 190 00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:03.879 celebrations of stop you know, like to tease stopping before 191 00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:06.759 third base, yeah, and stutter stepping right and you know, 192 00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:08.799 not to sound like the old man, get off my lawn. 193 00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:12.080 The bat flipping and the things that happen in baseball, 194 00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:14.600 which to a point, I'm okay with some of this stuff, 195 00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:16.679 but then we're starting to get to a point where 196 00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:19.840 it's maybe showboating, and now fans are taking obception to it, 197 00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:22.120 and now fans are frustrated, and it's just starting to 198 00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:23.320 escalate and escalate. 199 00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:26.759 Well, class never gets old. And when when you got 200 00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:28.840 to go to third base and do a little shuffle 201 00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:30.840 because you can't you can't. 202 00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:32.480 Just just can't stop. 203 00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:35.840 The self astonishment, and that gets that's a bit old. 204 00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:38.279 And you know, you see things like that in baseball. 205 00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:41.159 It's different today. I mean, you know, the the emotion 206 00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:43.080 and all that out of the game. You can't argue 207 00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:45.279 with an umpire, you can't run into anybody. 208 00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:45.120 You can't. 209 00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:47.720 I mean, so it's it's like, you know, it's it's 210 00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:50.480 been sterilized and so yeah, that's just the way it 211 00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:52.759 is today. And the game is slower, there's no question 212 00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:55.399 about it. I mean, you know, it's strikeout or home run. 213 00:09:55.559 --> 00:09:57.840 I mean, i'd love to see the fact that we're 214 00:09:57.840 --> 00:10:00.720 seeing seeing some of the speed element come back into baseball. 215 00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:04.039 People marvel at talking about Wow, he was going eighteen 216 00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:04.720 miles per hour. 217 00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:07.080 Yeah, more of that we need. That's that's good for 218 00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:07.399 the game. 219 00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:10.320 Stolen bases are great speed kills, and you know, if 220 00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:12.159 it's just all about striking out in home runs. 221 00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:14.200 Bah, Okay, it gets a little boring. 222 00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:17.080 Eight six, six, nine, eighty seven, two five seventy. Let's 223 00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:19.360 go out to the phones. I appreciate you waiting. A 224 00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:21.360 lot of Dodger fans want to weigh in and react, 225 00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:23.639 and that's what we're here for on this Monday morning. 226 00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:25.279 Anthony in La go ahead, Anthony. 227 00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:30.159 Hey, guys, I love listening to you, and of course 228 00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:31.759 when you're on in the morning, we know it's a 229 00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:33.480 playoff Dodger Baseball. 230 00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:35.480 So it's an awesome thing to hear. Wow. 231 00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:38.279 You know, I'm not gonna give this loss to Roberts, 232 00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:41.159 but I am gonna say something about the bitching. 233 00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:43.000 And he's kind of done this in the past as well, 234 00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:44.080 and I think he. 235 00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:47.840 Pulls his starters out sometimes a little too early. He 236 00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:50.600 doesn't have that kind of gut check where it's like, 237 00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:52.919 you know what, I'm my guy just struck out Machado. 238 00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:55.480 I'm gonna leave him in there if he gets out 239 00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:58.600 of that inning unscathed. I think it. 240 00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:01.080 Really boosts up the lineup as far as like, hey, here, 241 00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:02.360 we're gonna stick up for a guy. 242 00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:05.000 We're gonna score some runs, but you. 243 00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:07.840 Know, pulling them out bringing somebody in in the bullpen 244 00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:09.720 giving up that run. 245 00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:11.559 I think it was a little bit of a of 246 00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:13.720 a letdown, you know, I don't know what do you 247 00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:14.440 guys think about that? 248 00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:17.600 Appreciate Anthony. I see it both ways, and certainly it 249 00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:21.639 didn't pan out making that decision because Jackson Merrill singles 250 00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:24.360 to left alpha Anthony Bonda and it brings in the 251 00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:27.399 run that gets accredited to Jack Flherty for his fourth 252 00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:29.440 run of the game and makes a three to one 253 00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:31.440 game now a four to one game. And with the 254 00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:33.480 way you Darvis was pitching, it kind of felt like 255 00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:35.799 a fourteen to one game. Yeah, at that point. So 256 00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:39.240 I get it the move didn't pan out. But it's 257 00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:41.960 a lefty versus lefty. You've got Jack Flarity who just 258 00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:44.879 struck out Machado. Certainly the emotions are there. He's at 259 00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:49.080 ninety pitches though, and now he's facing a Jackson Merrill. 260 00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:51.559 You know, for the third time in a game. I 261 00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:54.519 get the move by by Dave Roberts. The number is 262 00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:56.919 even if you want to like or dislike, the analytics, 263 00:11:57.080 --> 00:11:58.799 they'll tell you that was the right move. 264 00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:01.879 Yeah, and he's backfired. There's there's you. 265 00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:03.879 Know, there's different components of that. And when you talk 266 00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:06.879 about going through the third time in the order, I understand, 267 00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:11.559 I get the reasoning for that, but it's not always 268 00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:14.600 that way as far as the numbers go. I mean, 269 00:12:14.679 --> 00:12:16.960 sometimes a guy's got some rhythm and he's going, he's 270 00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:20.159 doing really well. I I don't like to see when 271 00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:23.639 managers pull a guy out when he's rolling, even if 272 00:12:23.639 --> 00:12:25.919 they're barreling him up a little bit, but they're getting outs, 273 00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:28.360 you know what I mean. Momentum means a lot, and 274 00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:30.720 I think sometimes they pull a guy out too soon, 275 00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:34.240 especially you know it's he's four and two thirds innings, 276 00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:37.639 let's say, uh, and you know he's got a two 277 00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:40.440 or three run lead, and they jerk the guy out 278 00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:42.519 of the game because he had a left he lefty. Uh. 279 00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:45.039 You know that they could do at that point. 280 00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:47.759 But I think I would be a manager who would 281 00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:50.279 push to get the guy a victory. I mean, get 282 00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:52.919 that one under his belt. You know, the team's pulling 283 00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:55.440 for him. Those things like that. I you know, I'd 284 00:12:55.519 --> 00:12:57.799 want to help the players like that. But taking a 285 00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:00.960 guy out, you know, because it's a lefty lefty matchup 286 00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:02.879 when you got a three run lead. I've seen that 287 00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:06.120 happen to. We saw it happen to playoff baseball with 288 00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:08.559 down in Tampa where you take the picture out that's 289 00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:11.080 just rolling along. I think it was Blake Slays. Hell yeah, 290 00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:13.000 you take him out of the game, and what happens? 291 00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:13.279 You get? 292 00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:14.919 You get the reliever comes in. You know what, the 293 00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:18.879 other team says, The opposing team on the bench says, yes, 294 00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:22.279 all right, this guy's out. Now we got a new perspective. 295 00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:25.639 You bring some relievers in, even if they're prolific seasons 296 00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:28.679 they're having, it's still a change in perspective, and they 297 00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:30.720 wind up lighting the guy up. So you know, there 298 00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:32.480 you go. It doesn't always work that way. 299 00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:34.360 Chris in La is next up here on a FI 300 00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:38.080 seventy LA Sports. Chris, how you doing great? 301 00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:39.960 Great the morning, gentlemen. Hey, A couple of things, one 302 00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:43.679 about the fans and the one about the game baseball itself. 303 00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:48.360 You know, there's been thousands of games played at Dodger Stadium, 304 00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:51.000 and I don't ever know of a situation where this 305 00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:54.159 happened forward to this level, throwing stuff on the field 306 00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:56.559 like that at a player. So my thing is I 307 00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:59.919 look at who's involved, and the padres as the chief 308 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:03.120 even admitted he says he's going back and forth. That's 309 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:05.559 why it happened, because it's the PADRESM because they're out 310 00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:08.840 there show voting and being you know, kind of disrespectful 311 00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:11.720 back to the fans. And before we give Maddy Machado 312 00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:17.000 any any credit and kudos for gathering the team, according 313 00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:19.320 to Flerty, he was the one that started it by 314 00:14:19.519 --> 00:14:23.440 throwing a ball at the dugout. That's why Flarity was, 315 00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:25.399 uh testing out him. 316 00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:25.919 I just was. 317 00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:29.960 And as far as the baseball game itself, you know, 318 00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:32.759 as I told my wife, this is baseball, honey. You 319 00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:36.879 can't expect everything to happen like you want mookies Ozero 320 00:14:36.919 --> 00:14:40.600 for twenty two. That happens in baseball. And I think 321 00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:42.799 it's more of you know, sax and you were saying, 322 00:14:42.919 --> 00:14:46.720 you know, how's that happened. You're facing better pitching. You know, 323 00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:50.120 instead of facing the fourth and fifth pitcher, now you're 324 00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:53.279 facing the one or two. And if you're only successful 325 00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:56.879 thirty percent of time and now you're going against the 326 00:14:56.919 --> 00:14:59.200 best pitchers, that number is gonna drop. You know, look 327 00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:03.120 at what happened with Munsey and and and Mookie and 328 00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:03.639 everyone else. 329 00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:05.120 They get into those drouts. 330 00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:07.960 Unfortunately, as baseball, you just have to hope that the 331 00:15:08.039 --> 00:15:12.080 Bets come around and we can pull one out. But 332 00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:14.759 you know, I just I just try to keep it in. 333 00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:16.399 Perspective because it's tough. 334 00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:18.480 Hey, thanks you guys doing a breakout, all right. 335 00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:19.240 Chris appreciate this. 336 00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:22.039 Yeah, I don't think Dodger fans want to hear that, well, 337 00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:25.480 it's just baseball, because it feels like that it's just baseball. 338 00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:29.559 Is now for the third postseason affecting Mookie Bets. At 339 00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:31.679 what point is it not just it's just baseball? 340 00:15:32.600 --> 00:15:33.159 You know what I mean? 341 00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:36.120 I mean, yeah, let's hope so And I think he 342 00:15:36.360 --> 00:15:38.320 brought up a great point, which we'll get into coming up. 343 00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:41.159 Any other team the Dodgers are face right now in 344 00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:44.000 the NLDS, but it's the Braves, the Mets, the Phillies, 345 00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:46.799 the three other three teams left. I think he's right, 346 00:15:47.039 --> 00:15:49.320 this isn't happening with the fans on the field. Yeah, 347 00:15:49.720 --> 00:15:52.519 you have to take it takes two to tango. And 348 00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:56.759 I think the Padres we're also part of this. Eighty 349 00:15:56.759 --> 00:15:59.440 six six, nine, eighty seven, two seventy.

Last night 358 00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:36.720 wasn't the best of moments at Dodgers Stadium as things 359 00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:39.559 got away from the Dodgers late. Things got out of 360 00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:44.279 control late, and the series now heads to San Diego 361 00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:47.519 tomorrow night for Game three. He is Steve Saxy and 362 00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:49.519 Tim Kates. Thanks for being with us again. If you 363 00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:51.320 want to listen to the Dan Patrick Show, you can 364 00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:54.960 on the iHeart Radio app. Lost in all of what 365 00:16:55.039 --> 00:16:58.559 happened last night, Saxy, on and off the field is 366 00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:01.559 Freddy Freeman's ankle and the fact that he came out 367 00:17:01.559 --> 00:17:04.359 of the game in the fifth inning with the ankle discomfort. 368 00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:08.119 He of courses trying to play through this sprained right 369 00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:10.920 ankle that he suffered in the last week of the season, 370 00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:13.920 and he gave it a go in the first game 371 00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:16.039 and a half came out of the game. Last night 372 00:17:16.119 --> 00:17:19.000 we saw Keiky Hernandez play third and then Max Munsey 373 00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:21.960 move over to first base. It could be something to 374 00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:24.799 keep an eye on, no Freddie Freeman moving forward if 375 00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:27.440 he's not able to go tomorrow in Game three. It 376 00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:30.279 certainly changes the dynamic of this lineup with the big 377 00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:34.200 three with Otani betson Freeman at the top of that lineup. 378 00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:35.920 Yeah, it does big time. 379 00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:42.319 And especially you know when you get into starting to 380 00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:45.680 face Michael King, who is the you know, gonna be 381 00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:48.000 the starter for the Padres. You know, that guy is 382 00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:51.720 a real sidewinder, big right hander from the Yankees, and 383 00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:55.559 he throws way down low, and so you're gonna need 384 00:17:55.559 --> 00:17:57.880 that left handed stick in the lineup to be able 385 00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:01.359 to combat that. Michael King, he's really had a very 386 00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:04.359 good year this year, and you got to be able 387 00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:07.880 to be able to combat that low, right handed delivery, 388 00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:10.279 that low slot that he delivers it from, and left 389 00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:13.039 handers are well suited to handle that. So the more 390 00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:15.440 lefties in the line that you can have against a 391 00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:18.000 guy like Michael King, he gives the Dodgers a better chance. 392 00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:19.799 So hopefully to Freddie, you'll be ready. 393 00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:22.039 By the way, Michael King one of the players that 394 00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:25.519 Aj Preller, the GM of the Padres, got back and 395 00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:28.480 the Won Soto deal that they made. And you think 396 00:18:28.519 --> 00:18:30.680 about a deal he got. Oh, not only they got 397 00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:35.759 him back, they got the catcher he got. Yeah, he 398 00:18:35.839 --> 00:18:38.200 got him back in the trade as well, and one 399 00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:40.599 of the top prospects that they got as part as 400 00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:44.000 that multiplayer deal from the Yankees. They then flipped and 401 00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:47.359
