Speaker 2: it was all about Bueller.
Speaker 3: Walker Bueller.
Speaker 2: Five shutout innings last night against the Yankees. He struck
Speaker 2: out two along the way, struck out five. Walker Bueller
Speaker 2: looked like postseason Walker Bueller really good. In his third
Speaker 2: World Series start of his career. He went the five
Speaker 2: innings the Dodgers offense. They give him some instant offense
Speaker 2: in the first thanks to Freddie Freeman.
Speaker 4: Toni with a short lead, a one two offering from Schmid,
Speaker 4: Freddy swings and belts a ball right field, hooking toward
Speaker 4: the corner.
Speaker 5: Hello short ports and Hello Freddy Freeman for a third
Speaker 5: straight game of this World Series, five straight World Series
Speaker 5: games overall. Freddie Freeman go a two run blast from
Speaker 5: Freddy and a two nothing lead in the first inning.
Speaker 2: Second batter of the game, Freddy Freeman goes deep. That's
Speaker 2: the top tier play of the game sponsored by Arco Quality,
Speaker 2: top tier gas for less.
Speaker 3: Dodgers up two to nothing.
Speaker 2: Then in the third Mookie Bets up to bat with
Speaker 2: a runner on.
Speaker 4: On the ninth pitch from Schmid, Bet swings. It's a
Speaker 4: little flare to right field, sinking fast Soto with a
Speaker 4: deaky flashed the glove. Here comes Edmund racing around third.
Speaker 5: He'll score without a throw RBI single Mookie Bets and
Speaker 5: a three to nothing lead in Game three.
Speaker 6: By one and a bat for Bookie Betts. He just
Speaker 6: fouling off pitch after pitch after pitch, and what a
Speaker 6: read by Tommy Edmond at second base. He saw that
Speaker 6: the ball was going to drop in. That was a
Speaker 6: breaking ball into the hands. Bets went inside out with
Speaker 6: a swing and the Dodgors put another run up on
Speaker 6: the board.
Speaker 2: Great piece of hitting, great piece base running from Tommy Edmond.
Speaker 2: That's the breath of fresh air moment of the game.
Speaker 2: Sponsored by Atara Mechanical. Looking for reliable heating and air
Speaker 2: conditioning services here in southern California, Look no further than
Speaker 2: are Friends at a Tara Mechanical. Omar Brittany, the founders,
Speaker 2: They're great people. Their service more than just a solution.
Speaker 2: It's a breath of fresh air from the moment you
Speaker 2: call to the completion of your projects. A Tara Mechanical
Speaker 2: delivers friendly on his service at a fair price. Dodgers
Speaker 2: up three to nothing in the six when Key k
Speaker 2: Hernandez delivered with an RBI single to center that scored
Speaker 2: Gavin Lux and the Dodgers a little two out, matching
Speaker 2: up four to nothing. It remained a Dodger for nothing
Speaker 2: shut out until the bottom half of the ninth inning
Speaker 2: two outs Alex Verdugo a two run of home run
Speaker 2: to Riot didn't matter. Dodgers go on and win Game
Speaker 2: three of the World Series last night, four to two
Speaker 2: of the final as Walker Buehler goes five shutout innings
Speaker 2: to get the win six different relievers. After Walker Bueler,
Speaker 2: Michael Kopek pitched the ninth inning as the Dodgers take
Speaker 2: a three to zero series lead in this Best is
Speaker 2: seven twenty twenty four World Series. The Dodgers the twenty
Speaker 2: fifthteam in World Series history to go up three games
Speaker 2: to none. Of the previous twenty four twenty one have
Speaker 2: completed a sweep in four games. Team down three to
Speaker 2: zero hasn't forced a Game five since nineteen seventy. The
Speaker 2: Reds and the Baltimore Orioles Dodgers looking to close things
Speaker 2: out tonight in the Bronx. It's Game four Dodgers Yankees.
Speaker 2: First pitch coming up in five oh eight and with
Speaker 2: more we head out to the Galvin Motors broadcast booth
Speaker 2: as we say hello to is Steven Nelson, hed Rick Monday.
Speaker 4: Guys, TC one more. We that's all the Dodgers need
Speaker 4: to wrap up this twenty twenty four World Series. They
Speaker 4: lead New York three games to none. But similar to
Speaker 4: how we talk about the final three outs of the game,
Speaker 4: the final win in a series is by far.
Speaker 6: The hardest to get. Well, we talk about the final
Speaker 6: three outs in the game very difficult. Well, if you're
Speaker 6: looking at the best of seven series, game four in
Speaker 6: the good column is the most difficult to do. And
Speaker 6: for the Dodgers, they understand the odds. They've been peppered
Speaker 6: with all kinds of expertise about, well, you know, teams
Speaker 6: that are up three games than none in a best
Speaker 6: of seven. They've won thirty nine of the forty times,
Speaker 6: and YadA, YadA, YadA, there's still twenty seven outs you
Speaker 6: have to garner and they're not that easy. And understand that.
Speaker 6: The mentality the New York Yankees has to be looked.
Speaker 6: They've been bombarded as well. They don't have to win
Speaker 6: four in a row. Their mindset is to win tonight.
Speaker 6: They have to win one game. Then tomorrow, win one game,
Speaker 6: take it back.
Speaker 7: To Los Angeles.
Speaker 6: Dodgers do not want that, obviously, they like to have
Speaker 6: a celebration, but in order to get there, they're gonna
Speaker 6: have to play very good baseball. And Dave Roberts addressed
Speaker 6: the media this afternoon. He says, hey, look, we have
Speaker 6: not played this says, okay, we've won three games. We
Speaker 6: have not played flawless baseball, and they need to iron
Speaker 6: a few things out in order to nail it down tonight.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's a point well made. They're up three
Speaker 4: to nothing, but they're not doing great offensively in terms
Speaker 4: of team batting average. They are slugging, whereas the Yankees aren't.
Speaker 4: That has been the difference in the series. The Dodgers
Speaker 4: have eleven extra base hits. I think the Yankees maybe
Speaker 4: only have five in these first three games combined. I
Speaker 4: really love what Key k Ornandez had to say after
Speaker 4: the game. You know, everybody who was interviewing him had
Speaker 4: smiles and positive energy, but Keik was more reserved, more
Speaker 4: straight face, and said, you know, like, how does it
Speaker 4: feel to be one win away? As like, I don't
Speaker 4: care to be honest with you, ask me tomorrow. Are
Speaker 4: approach is going to be whatever it takes to win
Speaker 4: one game tomorrow where you're playing a team that has
Speaker 4: nothing to lose. So the mental approach that Keik was
Speaker 4: talking about is one that the Dodgers have to bring.
Speaker 6: Yeah. I used the term after Game two of this
Speaker 6: series that if you really want to kind of put
Speaker 6: in perspective, you know, those that are climbing Mount Everest
Speaker 6: don't high five to one another halfway up. Yeah, the
Speaker 6: Dodgers are almost there, They're not there yet. In order
Speaker 6: to high five, they've got to do some other things.
Speaker 6: The pitching has been terrific, and I thought last night
Speaker 6: Walker Buehler really worked the deficiencies, if you will, of
Speaker 6: the New York Yankees. Bueller first of all, threw more fanstballs,
Speaker 6: more cutters upstairs, took advantage, and he also went with
Speaker 6: that big sweeper. He didn't throw the changeup. He really
Speaker 6: worked to the deficiencies again of what the Yankees have
Speaker 6: been so far in the first three games of the series.
Speaker 4: Walker Bueler Freddie Freeman homering again in the bullpen. Again
Speaker 4: terrific for the Dodgers. You know, Dave Roberts celebrating a
Speaker 4: big anniversary in his baseball career twenty years ago, part
Speaker 4: of that Red Sox comeback from down three to zero
Speaker 4: against the Yankees and.
Speaker 7: The four Alcs.
Speaker 4: His focus creating a different anniversary, a new anniversary, and
Speaker 4: winning another World Series for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Speaker 3: First pitch approaching, Tim Let's get it back to you,
Speaker 3: all right, thanks Lon Nelly.
Speaker 2: As we count you down to first pitch, Dodger fans,

Speaker 2: the manager, Dave Roberts. We will check in with David
Speaker 2: Vas say, well, dive deeper into this pitching matchup. Well,
Speaker 2: we'll hear from Dodger pitchy coach Mark Pryor. But up next,
Speaker 2: Yo tani Rewind and we visit with Kirsten Watson Sports
Speaker 2: Net LA as we lead you up to first pitch
Speaker 2: Game four of the twenty twenty four World Series Dodgers Yankees.
Speaker 2: First pitch at five oh wait. Thanks for being with us.
Speaker 2: I'm Tim Kas's.
Speaker 3: Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: It is Lorongo Casino, Dodgers on the Dodgers on deck
Speaker 1: y'all on the official home of.
Speaker 7: LA Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: It's a Dodgers and Yankees Game four of the World Series.
Speaker 2: Dodgers a three to zero series lead, looking to finish
Speaker 2: it off Tonight. Ben kiz Sparius will get the start
Speaker 2: as the Dodgers opener in a bullpen game.
Speaker 3: First pitch coming up at five oh eight.
Speaker 8: This is the Otani rewy Well showy Otani in the
Speaker 8: lineup last night with the bad shoulder in all he
Speaker 8: did not get a hit, Bud got on base.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers would end up winning Game three last night
Speaker 2: by final of four to O. Tani Rewind brought to
Speaker 2: you by eto In's Oi Ocha, Japan's number one green
Speaker 2: tea and the Tea that showy Otani loves and drinks
Speaker 2: available at local DISO stores, Target Whole Foods etoin dot com.
Speaker 3: That's it O E N dot com.
Speaker 1: This is Kirston's corner with Kirston Watson.
Speaker 2: Hey, Kirsen now joins us from Yankee standy before Game
Speaker 2: four of this World Series. Keirston the champagne is on ice.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers just need to take care of business to
Speaker 2: night they.
Speaker 9: Do, and you know what this You can just kind
Speaker 9: of feel the energy that these guys want to do
Speaker 9: the job. They want to sweep the Yankees. They want
Speaker 9: to win that World Series. They want to have a
Speaker 9: parade in Los Angeles and so. But they also they
Speaker 9: don't want to get ahead of themselves. Yes, they're up
Speaker 9: three zero in this series, but they recognize that is
Speaker 9: a very talented team over there. Luis Hill obviously was
Speaker 9: excellent to start the first half of the season. When
Speaker 9: the team saw him here in New York over the summer,
Speaker 9: he was very good. They actually won that game of
Speaker 9: the series. The Dodgers ended up taking the series, but
Speaker 9: they did win that Game three, so there's a little
Speaker 9: bit of familiarity with them there. The hope is they
Speaker 9: can use that to their advantage. But he has as
Speaker 9: much as the second half look different than the first half.
Speaker 9: Four heel he's hoing into this one hoping to be
Speaker 9: in a good spot in which he can be successful
Speaker 9: to help get his team to win. So I do
Speaker 9: think it's going to be a battle. But the Dodgers
Speaker 9: there approaches it's one game at a time, it's one
Speaker 9: pitch at a time. The mindset is that it's still
Speaker 9: zero zero, and so I think by doing that, they're
Speaker 9: putting themselves in a good position not to get ahead
Speaker 9: of themselves.
Speaker 2: Kirsten is brought to by Cars for Kids. The easiest
Speaker 2: way to get rid of your old car. Donate today,
Speaker 2: your car could be picked up tomorrow. That easy donating
Speaker 2: now a carsfrokids dot Org. That's cars with the K.
Speaker 2: Here's this Dodgers team night going with a bullpen game
Speaker 2: and it's Ben Kisparius getting the starts.
Speaker 9: Listen. I'm so excited for Ben.
Speaker 3: I think this is an opportunity.
Speaker 9: That he has worked incredibly hard for and is very
Speaker 9: deserving of it. When you look at what he's been
Speaker 9: able to do this postseason. He's had scoreless outings in
Speaker 9: which he's been out there, so he's got a zero
Speaker 9: eer a coming in to this one. He's also shown
Speaker 9: just he can handle the big moments. Yes, this is
Speaker 9: the World Series. I'm sure there are some nerves, even
Speaker 9: Dave Roberts's talking about, like, yeah, he's probably a little
Speaker 9: bit anxious. He's been trying to stay away from him today.
Speaker 9: But he's someone who, Yes, he debuted late in the season,
Speaker 9: we didn't know too much about him, but since he
Speaker 9: has shown up, he has shown that he's got some
Speaker 9: really good stuff. He's been executing his pitches and I
Speaker 9: think just seeing the success he's had in this postseason
Speaker 9: is telling, and so that's what allowed for them to
Speaker 9: be like, you know what, he's a good option to
Speaker 9: start this game.
Speaker 7: He has been a.
Speaker 9: Starter in the past, so he is built up. And
Speaker 9: the hope is they're gonna need some length because whether
Speaker 9: it's him, Landon Knack, Brent honeywell, they are gonna need
Speaker 9: some length to be provided, just because we have seen
Speaker 9: some usage of the bullpen these last few days. Yes,
Speaker 9: they had the off day ahead of Game three, but
Speaker 9: still it's the World Series. You know, each pitch is
Speaker 9: a high leverage pitch and so they're gonna need all
Speaker 9: hands on decks. So Dave Roberts said that everyone is available,
Speaker 9: but if he can get some out of us at
Speaker 9: one or one of those guys two of the three.
Speaker 9: But they are gonna need some support because if they
Speaker 9: don't win, then they do have to play tomorrow, in
Speaker 9: which Jack clarerty would have to start.
Speaker 2: Let's hope they take care business tonight, Keirrison. We will
Speaker 2: check in with you either way after the game.
Speaker 3: Still to come.
Speaker 2: Here on Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck, we'll dive deeper
Speaker 2: to this pitching matchup David Vetsego's one on one with
Speaker 2: Mark Byre. But up next we'll hear from the manager himself,

Speaker 7: The dugouts with Dave Robberts.
Speaker 3: Of course of all?
Speaker 11: Skipper Jim Hill KKL nine News, what is your level
Speaker 11: of anxiety and or anxiousness as you're so close but
Speaker 11: still so far away?
Speaker 12: Definitely not anxiety, I think, uh, you know, excited to
Speaker 12: get the game going. Guys have a good look, great preparation,
Speaker 12: and uh yeah, I like where we're at, so excited
Speaker 12: to get going.
Speaker 10: Stay there on the corner.
Speaker 11: Hey, Dave, Crystal Rich, I believe it was the NLCS
Speaker 11: that you said you believe in this group of guys
Speaker 11: more so than anyone that you've managed before. With that
Speaker 11: feeling and these two story friends, chi is going head
Speaker 11: to head having that three oh lead. What would it
Speaker 11: mean today to sweep?
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean it would be historic for for our
Speaker 12: franchise to win another World Series, certainly against a great
Speaker 12: organization as the Yankees. Just excited of for our players,
Speaker 12: our fans, But you know, it's it's like I said,
Speaker 12: I believe in this group. I love this group, and
Speaker 12: we've got to play keep playing good baseball.
Speaker 11: And then just some minor change to the bottom half
Speaker 11: of the lineup with KEYK moving up. What was the
Speaker 11: thought process there?
Speaker 12: I just feel that I like Key K against heel.
Speaker 12: He's obviously taken really good at bats and so just
Speaker 12: kind of flip flopping those two. I felt good about it.
Speaker 10: All right.
Speaker 2: There's Dave Roberts down in the dugout with his pregame thoughts.
Speaker 2: Dave Roberts brought you by Service Titan. Dave Roberts wins

Speaker 3: When we continue here.
Speaker 2: I'm Wrongo Casino Dodgers on deck. We'll check out with
Speaker 2: David Bassey as we are leading you after first pitch
Speaker 2: Game four of the World Series Dodgers and Yankees. I'm
Speaker 2: sim Kates's Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck on your home
Speaker 1: for the Blue all season long.
Speaker 2: Dodgers Yankees. It's Game four of the World Series. Dodgers
Speaker 2: a three to zero series lead. Ban Kisparius will get
Speaker 2: the start as the opener, first pitch coming up at
Speaker 2: five oh way.
Speaker 7: Joining Tim Kates on Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 10: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 7: This is Dodger insider David Basse.
Speaker 2: All right, DV the Dodgers one win away, this Dodger team.
Speaker 3: What was different about then then? Maybe like the last
Speaker 3: couple of teams.
Speaker 13: Well, I would say number one, Tim, they were more
Speaker 13: invested at the beginning of this postseason the last two years,
Speaker 13: playing the Padres and Diamondbacks in the first round. You know,
Speaker 13: guys took their own cars down to San Diego a
Speaker 13: couple of years ago.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 13: Last year, I saw a lot of golf bags on
Speaker 13: the team bus in Arizona. So it just didn't feel
Speaker 13: like everybody was all in. It felt like they just
Speaker 13: felt they could show up and out talent the opposition.
Speaker 13: This year, the team came together and actually made a
Speaker 13: concerted effort to have more focus on baseball, whether it
Speaker 13: was getting together at the stadium, whether it was flying
Speaker 13: alone with no wives or kids. They were all in
Speaker 13: for these three and a half weeks. And here was
Speaker 13: Gavin Lux earlier today talking about what he believed to
Speaker 13: be the biggest difference.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I think that's the main thing that I feel
Speaker 14: like is different from the years past, is the intensity
Speaker 14: and then to compete every single pitch and to not
Speaker 14: giving that bad away or a pitch away, and that
Speaker 14: to say we did in the years past, but it
Speaker 14: just the intensity every single pitch, every single inning feels
Speaker 14: different this year than it did in the years past.
Speaker 14: And you know, I think that's just the guys we
Speaker 14: have in the clubhouse and and like you said, we
Speaker 14: kind of learned from our past mistakes and like this
Speaker 14: year where we spent pretty much every day together and
Speaker 14: for these last three four weeks, I think that's made
Speaker 14: a big difference. And you know, we're all pull in
Speaker 14: the same direction, so let's get together. And then you know,
Speaker 14: when you're close with these guys in the clubhouse, it
Speaker 14: just makes pulling for each other that much easier.
Speaker 13: And there were no guarantees tim the Dodgers would be
Speaker 13: on the cusp of a World Series championship With all that,
Speaker 13: but the one thing these players could say is that
Speaker 13: they gave it their full attention, full focus, and they
Speaker 13: left nothing on the table. And that's something that as
Speaker 13: a player you can live with if it doesn't go
Speaker 13: your way.
Speaker 3: David is driven by Ford.
Speaker 2: If there's one thing we like, it's choice is fine
Speaker 2: yours With the Ford F one fifty gas hybrid all
Speaker 2: electric tough, this march can only be called F one five.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers starting pitching coming into this series was thought
Speaker 2: to be well, not as good as the Yankee starting
Speaker 2: pitchers over the course of the regular season, but dam
Speaker 2: they've really stepped it up in this series.
Speaker 13: And we were just talking to John Smoltz about that.
Speaker 13: John Smoltz said, the way I handicapped this series, I
Speaker 13: thought the starting pitching for the Yankees was going to
Speaker 13: be the difference in the series, but he said it's been.
Speaker 10: The complete opposite.
Speaker 13: The Dodgers starting pitching has been the dominant reason why
Speaker 13: they had this three games to none lead. And Jack
Speaker 13: Flaherty got things started in Game one and he will
Speaker 13: start tomorrow night if the Dodgers cannot close out the Yankees.
Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean, I think pitching can be contagious too,
Speaker 15: and whether or not it started with Walker's start in
Speaker 15: Game three against San Diego where things happened that ending
Speaker 15: the way that they happened, but he thought he threw
Speaker 15: the ball really, really well. And then you look to
Speaker 15: the next thing and what the bullpen did and from
Speaker 15: there what they were able to do in that game,
Speaker 15: and then you look to Yama and what he did
Speaker 15: and just kind of carrying over you just you just
Speaker 15: want to pick up after the next guy. And then
Speaker 15: if somebody has a rough night, you know, then the
Speaker 15: next guy's gonna pick you up. And that goes for
Speaker 15: everything in this game.
Speaker 13: And we'll see whether or not all that works out
Speaker 13: in a bullpen game. It feels like Tim, the Dodgers
Speaker 13: are not going to throw out their high leverage relievers
Speaker 13: in this game unless there's certain they have a chance
Speaker 13: to win. So the Dodger offense is going to have
Speaker 13: to force the hand of Dave Roberts to do that.
Speaker 3: I get some runs early with no doubt about it.
Speaker 3: Day appreciate.
Speaker 2: We'll check back you with you just a couple of
Speaker 2: minutes coming up here on Wrongo Casino Dodgers on deck.

Speaker 13: and got it done in Game six right here in
Speaker 13: the Bronx, Rick, this is a very exciting time. Obviously,
Speaker 13: the Dodgers know what's at stake, yep.
Speaker 6: And I've been on the other side of the coin
Speaker 6: also and also against the Yankees, and the Yankees are
Speaker 6: going to come on tonight, David, with one thing in mind.
Speaker 6: I think they will be much more aggressive because quite frankly,
Speaker 6: there has been a void from what I have seen
Speaker 6: so far from the Yankees. I'm not in that dugout.
Speaker 6: I'm not in the locker room. And I preface that
Speaker 6: by saying, you think you know the ball club, same
Speaker 6: way with the Dodgers. You know we're not in the
Speaker 6: locker room right before or after a game. We're not
Speaker 6: in the dugout during the game. So even though we
Speaker 6: know the players and no tendencies, I don't know what
Speaker 6: is going through the minds of the New York Yankees,
Speaker 6: but they have to play with more energy than what
Speaker 6: they've had so far in the first three games of
Speaker 6: this series. In fact, for the Yankees, they've had the
Speaker 6: lead just one time in this series, and that was
Speaker 6: after the two run home run by Giancarlos that was
Speaker 6: in the sixth inning of Game one at Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 6: They have not been in the lead since that time.
Speaker 13: It just feels rick that the Yankees are not on
Speaker 13: the same level as far as the way they're playing
Speaker 13: the game right now as the Dodgers are.
Speaker 10: The Dodgers seem to be hitting on all cylinders.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I get the feeling that for the Yankees in
Speaker 6: the first three games, for the most part, as a
Speaker 6: hitter standpoint, they have been defending home plate instead of
Speaker 6: owning home plate. Now that's a mental attitude, and if
Speaker 6: you don't play the game, maybe you don't understand it
Speaker 6: at this level in particular. But it's as if the
Speaker 6: Dodgers have gone to home plate in this series and
Speaker 6: have taken some pitches, even though they may be strikes
Speaker 6: depending upon the count, is if that particular pitch is
Speaker 6: not worthy of them swinging. And for the New York Yankees,
Speaker 6: they have gone to home plate saying, Okay, the pitch
Speaker 6: is being thrown, I guess I need to hit it.
Speaker 6: They have not been very disciplined to this particular point.
Speaker 6: And I thought last night Walker Buehler really exposed some
Speaker 6: weaknesses of the New York Yankees from a ball club.
Speaker 6: And Buehler changed his presentation if you will, because looking
Speaker 6: at some numbers he threw the fastball in the cutter
Speaker 6: with a much higher percentage than what we have seen
Speaker 6: so far. And I might add we saw better velocity
Speaker 6: from Walker Buehler last night than what we have seen
Speaker 6: so far since coming off of his second time at
Speaker 6: John Surgery. Also used the sweeper in particularly against right
Speaker 6: handed batters, and I'm not certain that the Yankees right
Speaker 6: handed hitters know where the outside quarter is because they
Speaker 6: have been swinging it pitches well off the plate.
Speaker 10: Hasn't that been the story of the series as well? Rick?
Speaker 13: The Dodgers three starters have really kept the Yankees off balance.
Speaker 6: I think you can have the best scouter report in
Speaker 6: the world if you're not able to execute it, what
Speaker 6: good is that Skotter report? And I think if you
Speaker 6: look at the Dodgers, what they're able to do, example
Speaker 6: being Buehler last night taking advantage of hitters. They just
Speaker 6: continue to expand the strike zone, get behind in the count,
Speaker 6: and instead of taking a walk, they hit a bad
Speaker 6: pitch or they strike out. And that's been kind of
Speaker 6: the story. Now can the Dodgors go ahead and take
Speaker 6: advantage of it tonight? With Casparius, who's going to be
Speaker 6: at least the first of how many relievers we're going
Speaker 6: to see, And the Dodgers have to figure out Louis Heel,
Speaker 6: who is going to start for the Yankees. They saw
Speaker 6: him back in June. Is he the same picture that
Speaker 6: they saw then? And if that's the case, they have
Speaker 6: to decide where the top of the strike zone is,
Speaker 6: in particular left handed batters, and the Dodgers will have
Speaker 6: five lefties in their lineup if you include Edmund who's
Speaker 6: a switch hitter, and Heel has tried to elevate the
Speaker 6: fastball against lefties in particular and then thrown a very
Speaker 6: good slider on top of it.
Speaker 13: All right, Rick, thanks for stopping by again. We've done
Speaker 13: this all season long, and this may be the last one.
Speaker 6: As much as I like you and as much as
Speaker 6: I enjoy this, I hope we don't have to do
Speaker 6: it again, at least on a pregame show until next spring.
Speaker 10: Trending that sounds great.
Speaker 13: I'll come back up after the game and gave you
Speaker 13: a nice Champagne hug after I'm done downstairs.

Speaker 7: This is high and tight.
Speaker 13: The Dodgers are one win away from the World Series
Speaker 13: and their pitching staff has been a big part of it.
Speaker 13: And the man that has navigated this pitching staff all postseason,
Speaker 13: all season long is their pitching coach, Mark Pryor.
Speaker 10: Mark.
Speaker 13: Thanks a lot for the time and congratulations on getting
Speaker 13: this far.
Speaker 10: Appreciate it.
Speaker 17: But uh yeah, job's not done, and uh you know,
Speaker 17: we gotta come up today and play. These guys are
Speaker 17: gonna come out fighting. But so far it's it's we've
Speaker 17: been on the positive side of things. Gotta go get
Speaker 17: twenty seven more outs.
Speaker 13: How did you, Dave Roberts Andrew Friedman game plan to
Speaker 13: come up with these bullpen games going back to Game
Speaker 13: four of the NLDS.
Speaker 17: Well, I mean, I think you know, one, there is
Speaker 17: a lot of planning, but most of it, I mean
Speaker 17: it has been out of necessity. I mean, it's no
Speaker 17: secret that when you lose starting pitching at the clip
Speaker 17: that we did, whether it was you know, Tyler with
Speaker 17: glass now or it's Kersh Gavin Stone. I mean, those
Speaker 17: are like big pieces that we expected to be pitching
Speaker 17: in these games. And we came into playoffs with three stars,
Speaker 17: and we knew that, you know, three established stars, and
Speaker 17: we knew that we were gonna have to do some
Speaker 17: bullpen and do some you know, some more you know,
Speaker 17: unorthodox things. And you know, fortunately for us, we have
Speaker 17: a lot of really good arms in the bullpen that
Speaker 17: have really you know, really stepped up in some big
Speaker 17: situations and done some really kind of heroic things at
Speaker 17: times to make these things work. And they're they're not
Speaker 17: not necessarily always the things that you want to do.
Speaker 17: They're they're very hard staying, especially over a course of playoffs,
Speaker 17: but you know, it's what we've had to do more
Speaker 17: than something that we necessarily wanted to do.
Speaker 11: Uh.
Speaker 17: And these this bullpen has been unbelievable as a group
Speaker 17: and as a as a unit, uh, to basically pick
Speaker 17: us up where you know, we just didn't have that guy,
Speaker 17: you know, that that extra starter.
Speaker 13: When did you start to realize they found their identity
Speaker 13: as dogs that were foaming at the mouth to get
Speaker 13: into a game.
Speaker 17: Honestly, I think it goes back to a little bit
Speaker 17: of the regular season. I think it was good for
Speaker 17: us to play the Padres, you know, late in that season,
Speaker 17: I think because you know, we had you know, obviously
Speaker 17: we're in a dogfight with the Pennant or the division
Speaker 17: divisional race. But for them to come out and do
Speaker 17: what they did, you know, those to win the division
Speaker 17: that last week of the season. But then really just
Speaker 17: going in I think Blake's first game in that division
Speaker 17: series really set the tone for me, Like, at least
Speaker 17: I mean him being able to go out drop two
Speaker 17: innings on those guys really secure that first victory. I
Speaker 17: know we went down to one after that, but I
Speaker 17: honestly think that set the tone of like, here we go,
Speaker 17: we can do this, and I think everybody just falls suited.
Speaker 17: And then you got into Game four and those guys
Speaker 17: just attacked the strike zone against the Padres, who is
Speaker 17: a very very good team, very offensively driven team, and
Speaker 17: they just were efficient. They attacked, you know, they kind
Speaker 17: of imposed their will, so to speak, on them. And
Speaker 17: then from then on it's just they've been doing it
Speaker 17: all all playoffs and you know, every facet of our
Speaker 17: game is stepped up and raised its level, and they've
Speaker 17: definitely they're part of that. They've definitely stepped up and
Speaker 17: done some things that you know that I think I
Speaker 17: don't think people expected. I think everybody thought, you know,
Speaker 17: our pitching was gonna be an interesting dynamic, and I
Speaker 17: think us included, we weren't quite sure. But they've definitely
Speaker 17: been a strength for us this October.
Speaker 13: Mark Pryor is our guest before Game four of the
Speaker 13: World Series. Today, you have rookie right hander Ben Casparius
Speaker 13: starting what people believe is a bullpen. Why has he
Speaker 13: been so good and why is he the right guy tonight?
Speaker 17: Well, I mean, yeah, it's definitely interesting with Ben, you know,
Speaker 17: because he's a guy who hadn't pitched a whole lot.
Speaker 17: He came up, threw a couple outings for us, maybe
Speaker 17: Ryan Labor Day with Arizona. He had that one inning,
Speaker 17: and then he faced the Rockies down the stretch.
Speaker 3: He's got really good stuff.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 17: I mean you look at his he's got a good
Speaker 17: fastball in the mid up or nineties. Uh, he can
Speaker 17: really spin the baseball with both slider and curveball. Trust
Speaker 17: the head, you know, you know, he had that one
Speaker 17: inning against Colorado where he almost kind of fell off
Speaker 17: the rails and then he was able to quickly get
Speaker 17: it back. So we trust the stuff, you know, to
Speaker 17: in this environment to just kind of let it rip
Speaker 17: and then we'll see where we go from there. But
Speaker 17: everybody's had their part in this in this run, and
Speaker 17: this is he's He's had some good moments where he
Speaker 17: against the Mets, he got his feet wet in that
Speaker 17: Padre series, So now he's gonna get his feet wet
Speaker 17: here in the Bronx and that's not an easy task,
Speaker 17: but we feel he's up to it as as the
Speaker 17: rest of the guys are.
Speaker 10: Just one win.
Speaker 17: Yeah, play the game. It's just like it's a big game,
Speaker 17: but it's you approach every game the same.
Speaker 6: Just go out and play good baseball, all.
Speaker 13: Right, Mark, thanks a lot for the time, appreciated and
Speaker 13: congratulations on all the success you've had with the team
Speaker 13: and the synergy you've created.
Speaker 10: Well, I appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Thank you so much.
Speaker 13: There he goes Dodgers pitching coach Mark Pryor. He's been
Speaker 13: a big part of all this. We'll send it back

Speaker 2: right back out to the booth. One final sign before
Speaker 2: first pitch. Steven Nelson, Rick Mounday, guys, All.
Speaker 4: Right, Tim, you go back to how Game one wrapped
Speaker 4: up really with one swing, Freddie Freeman belting an inside
Speaker 4: fastball from Nestor Cortez that did seem like a Mike
Speaker 4: Tyson right hand to the stomach. And it took all
Speaker 4: of the year out of the Yankee lungs and mole
Speaker 4: for the last two nights, last two games, I should say,
Speaker 4: New York has really struggled to get air back in
Speaker 4: those longs. So how did the Dodgers suffocate him and
Speaker 4: finish the series?
Speaker 6: Well, I think first of all is the pitching, and
Speaker 6: they're going to go with the bullpen game tonight, and
Speaker 6: bencus Barius is going to be the initial pitcher that
Speaker 6: comes in. And here's a young man and said, hey,
Speaker 6: wait a minute, were there any Fonsi Cosparius may have
Speaker 6: had the spring trending he said, hey, look, we're going
Speaker 6: to be pitching. I'm going to be pitching in the
Speaker 6: World Series. No, but if you look at the Yankees,
Speaker 6: everybody thought, well, the Yankees with their powerhouse, granted they're
Speaker 6: good team, granted, everybody figured, well, they have a huge
Speaker 6: edge as far as the pitching starting rotation to begin with, well,
Speaker 6: the Dodgers have used This will be the third game
Speaker 6: in postseason that they have had a bullpen game. They've
Speaker 6: won two so far in this particular situation. Hey, for
Speaker 6: the Dodgers, stay on track, They've had very well thought
Speaker 6: out advance. It has not been the case for the Yankees.
Speaker 6: On the other side of the field.
Speaker 4: The big, big guy for the offense has been Freddy Freeman.
Speaker 4: He's homeward in all three games this World Series, five
Speaker 4: straight World Series games for him as an individual, going
Speaker 4: back to his days in Atlanta. He can set a
Speaker 4: record and it will be history if he does it
Speaker 4: again tonight. So he's obviously batting third behind Betts and
Speaker 4: then Shohe Otani at the top, who is now one
Speaker 4: for eleven in the series. But well, it's not like
Speaker 4: he looks terrible or silly up there. He has been
Speaker 4: taking his walks. It is very clear that the Yankees
Speaker 4: are giving him a ton of respect and pitching him carefully.
Speaker 4: So it's a different series for Otani than has been
Speaker 4: for Judge, who's won for twelve.
Speaker 3: But who's the biggest key for.
Speaker 4: The offense tonight? For you? If if it maybe if
Speaker 4: you want to go beyond the big three. That's totally fine.
Speaker 4: I'm just wondering who you're looking at.
Speaker 6: Well, I look at the top of the order, and
Speaker 6: I say that because teams in postseason, everybody's So far
Speaker 6: in postseason, teams have scored first for twenty six and fifteen. Also,
Speaker 6: Louis Heel is pitching for the Yankees this year against
Speaker 6: the top three hitters in the lineup, the one, two,
Speaker 6: and three spot collectively just a one fifty seven batting
Speaker 6: average against Heel. The Dodgers, if they can strike early,
Speaker 6: I think they can really kind of quiet the crowd
Speaker 6: here in New York. They're desperate.
Speaker 4: The Dodgers saw Heel in that June series. He started
Speaker 4: the only game that the Yankees won in that three
Speaker 4: game set, Aaron Boone turning to him again. With New
Speaker 4: York season on the line, the Dodgers one went away
Speaker 4: from World Series ten. Can't wait to get this one going.
Speaker 3: All right, thank you, guys.
Speaker 2: First pitch is next, Dodger fans for twenty seven outs
Speaker 2: away from an eighth World Series championship. For this organization,
Speaker 2: Dodgers need to take care of business. A three to
Speaker 2: ninheing Series lead with four to go, potentially.
Speaker 3: Close it out tonight.
Speaker 2: Celebrate and come home and let's have a parade here
Speaker 2: in Los Angeles. Ben Casparius, Luis Heal, the pitching matchup.
Speaker 2: Shoei Otani steps in the batter's box when we come back.
Speaker 3: Enjoyed everybody.
