WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:02.759 Now your host for World Series Dodger. 2 00:00:02.480 --> 00:00:05.200 Talk sound off Angelinos David Vasse. 3 00:00:07.240 --> 00:00:10.439 We are live at Dodgers Stadium after Game two of 4 00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:14.279 the World Series goes the Dodgers way as they take 5 00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:18.039 a two games to none lead in the World Series. 6 00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:21.679 After a walkoff grand slam by Freddie Freeman last night 7 00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:24.600 in the tenth inning. Tonight, they do it in nine 8 00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:28.920 as the Dodgers defeat the Yankees four to two. Welcome 9 00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:32.240 the Dodger Talk David Vase with you until ten o'clock 10 00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:34.960 tonight right here on AM five to seventy LA Sports. 11 00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:37.600 We'll check in with Jose Moda a little bit later 12 00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:40.119 in the show, as we always do. You'll hear from 13 00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:43.960 Andre eighth Year, who was reunited with his former teammate 14 00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:44.600 Matt Kemp. 15 00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:45.960 They threw out the first pitch. 16 00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:48.960 He was as big of a fan last night as 17 00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:52.439 we all were when Freddie Freeman hit that walkoff grand 18 00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:56.000 slam to give the Dodgers the game one win. We'll 19 00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:58.960 give you an update on Jack Flaherty and why he 20 00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:02.119 was taken out of the game last night when he 21 00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:05.159 was going pretty well despite giving up a two run 22 00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:08.640 home run to John Carlos. Stanton we finally found out 23 00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:12.799 why Evan Phillips is not on the World Series rosters, 24 00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:16.239 so we'll give you an update on that. So between 25 00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:19.159 now at ten o'clock a lot to get to and look. 26 00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:22.959 I was a little concerned with the Dodgers tonight. I 27 00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:25.079 know they held on for a four to h two win, 28 00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:29.040 but I felt like there were some opportunities for the 29 00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:32.879 Dodgers to be able to tack on runs in this game. 30 00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:36.519 Even though they were able to hit three home runs tonight, 31 00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:40.200 they were only zero for three with runners in scoring position. 32 00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:43.760 I felt like they could have been able to at least. 33 00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:47.959 Tack on one more run in this game, especially in 34 00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:51.760 the fourth inning after Will Smith hit a one out 35 00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:55.159 double off the wall in center field. He had will 36 00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:59.200 Smith at second base with one out, Miguel Rojas, who 37 00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:02.079 got his first star in a long time, grounded out 38 00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:05.640 to the second baseman, and then show Hey Otani grounded 39 00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:08.960 out to the shortstop. I felt like one more run 40 00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:12.199 would have made this a little bit more comfortable for 41 00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:15.000 the Dodgers, but they were able to wiggle out of 42 00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:17.560 it in the ninth inning. Blake Trinen, who has been 43 00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:22.560 outstanding for the Dodgers all season, long was a human 44 00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:26.840 tonight he was a little erratic and really couldn't get 45 00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:30.919 that slider sweeper to appear as a strike. 46 00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:33.240 It was wide left. 47 00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:38.159 It hit Anthony Rizzo and Dave Roberts smartly and aggressively, 48 00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:42.400 had Alex Vesia warming up behind Trinan and was able 49 00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:45.039 to go to Vessia to get the final out of 50 00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:48.879 the game. And Vessia secures his first save in the 51 00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:52.199 World Series, and the Dodgers are in a great spot 52 00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:56.800 right now, headed to New York for three games if necessary, 53 00:02:57.199 --> 00:02:59.039 with a two games to none lead. 54 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:02.479 Six seven, two, five seventy is. 55 00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:05.759 The phone number you know, Freddie Freeman if the Dodgers 56 00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:08.639 go on to win this World Series, he already has 57 00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:12.520 made a strong statement for World Series MVP. After the 58 00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:16.599 first two games of this series, Taoscar Hernandez and Freddie 59 00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:21.120 Freeman became just the eleventh player or Freddy became just 60 00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:24.719 the eleventh player to homer in games one and two 61 00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:28.479 of a World Series. He followed Taoskar's go ahead to 62 00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:31.719 run home run off of Rodin with a solo home 63 00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:35.439 run and no doubter to right field in the same 64 00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:38.960 area where he hit his walk off grand Slam last night, 65 00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:42.759 and here was Freddy on MLB Network moments ago, a 66 00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:43.639 little Harry in. 67 00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:44.240 The ninth inning. 68 00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:46.759 What was your thought process watching it all on fold? 69 00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:50.639 Yeah, that's the World Series. You're not gonna be easy. 70 00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:53.039 You know, they're not just gonna go down easy. They 71 00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:55.400 got the blake right there, and luckily we got Bettie. 72 00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:56.000 To come in and close out. 73 00:03:56.599 --> 00:03:59.800 You know, Dro this morning said when Freddy goes d 74 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:02.560 he left on left, he's about to get locked in. 75 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:04.800 Do you feel like you're getting locked in? 76 00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:05.319 No? 77 00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:07.280 I don't know. 78 00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:10.000 I feel good. I feel good. 79 00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:12.000 My baying practice has been good, and I've been feeling 80 00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:12.599 good at the plate. 81 00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:16.240 So hopefully Dro keeps saying those good things. 82 00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:19.480 We saw show Hey, O Tani leave the game leaving 83 00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:20.079 some pain. 84 00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:22.800 Your level of concern about show Hey right now? 85 00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:24.160 I mean, I hopefully he's okay. 86 00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:27.839 I haven't heard anything, but when you leave in pain 87 00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:28.920 and holding your arm, it's. 88 00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:29.680 Probably not a good thing. 89 00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:32.199 But you know, we got a group of guys in 90 00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:34.160 here that if he is down, we'll pick him up 91 00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:34.600 and we'll get that. 92 00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:35.519 We'll get going. 93 00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:37.759 Lastly, mindset going to New York. 94 00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:40.079 Yeah, you know we're up to nothing. I gotta go 95 00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:42.600 out there and get a day's rest and go get 96 00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:44.040 after it again on the next one. 97 00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:47.480 Congratulations Ready here ever, all right, there's Robert Flores with 98 00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:51.079 Freddie Freeman on MLB Network, and yes, you heard him. 99 00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:52.600 Ask Freddy about show. 100 00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:55.160 Heyo Tani who had to leave the game in the 101 00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:58.319 seventh inning when he was caught stealing to end the 102 00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:01.920 inning at second base. And it turns out, as Dave 103 00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:06.680 Roberts told us, it is a left shoulder sublixation that 104 00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:10.800 Otani suffered, and he will have an MRI and the 105 00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:14.879 Dodgers will determine whether or not he'll be available for 106 00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:17.279 Game three of the World Series and whether or not 107 00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:20.199 he'll be available for the rest of the World Series. 108 00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:22.959 You know, I mentioned this during the Clubhouse Show as 109 00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:26.319 soon as they started talking about left shoulder. As Ken 110 00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:31.480 Rosenthal first reported during the national broadcast, I instantly thought 111 00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:35.560 about Cody Bellinger when his left shoulder popped out when 112 00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:39.240 he was celebrating with kek Hernandez during the twenty twenty 113 00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:43.600 NLCS Game seven, And I actually sent Cody a text 114 00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:47.079 that wondering if he was watching it and letting him 115 00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:50.600 know that I instantly thought about his left shoulder popping 116 00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:53.120 out for a quick second, and he said, yes, he 117 00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:57.160 was watching it, and yes, it looked like Otani's left 118 00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:00.639 shoulder popped out for a quick second. And that's basically 119 00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:04.600 what a sublexation is. It pops out quickly and then 120 00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:09.519 pops back in. Now, Cody was compromised during the World Series, 121 00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:12.519 but he was able still to perform and I am 122 00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:17.240 getting well. Unfortunately, I had to go through my own 123 00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:20.639 PT and wrist surgery a couple of years ago. You 124 00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:23.920 may have heard. So I have a few people that 125 00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:27.240 have my phone number in that field of a medicine 126 00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:30.480 and they've been texting me what their guests is. They 127 00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:36.120 believe that Otani has to keep that left shoulder loose overnight. 128 00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:39.480 They cannot allow to tighten up. And it's basically a 129 00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:43.240 pain tolerance thing. So the Dodgers will know the extent 130 00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:46.160 of the injury when they take a look at it 131 00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:49.399 with the MRI. But Otani is in great hands with 132 00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:53.680 the team. Doctor Doctor Neil elatrosh eight sixty six nine 133 00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:56.879 eight seven two five seventy is the phone number with 134 00:06:57.040 --> 00:07:02.199 or without Otani. The reality is the are two wins 135 00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:06.800 away from being World champions. Let's go out to the phones. Bruce, 136 00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:10.639 who is at Dodgers Stadium tonight? You're on Dodger Talk, Hi, Bruce. 137 00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:12.480 Hey what a b d V. 138 00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:16.120 I guess Otani joined in on the Uh I got 139 00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:19.800 hurt on a slide club, So you just go make 140 00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:23.279 sure that he knows you didn't miss a step afterwards, 141 00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:25.360 well at least. 142 00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:27.279 I mean, he's such a freight train. I'm not sure 143 00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:31.600 people realize how big and strong O'tani is. I mean, 144 00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:35.920 he is a he is quite a specimen. And the 145 00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:39.519 force of him hitting the ground obviously was great enough 146 00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:41.560 for his left shoulder to pop out. 147 00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:45.759 Yeah, I wish him the best, and I just think 148 00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:48.959 we have this next man of mentality and he if 149 00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:52.360 he can't a post for Game three, he's going to 150 00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:55.720 be our biggest cheerleader. And you know, seeing Tae go 151 00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:58.959 to right field three times, it looks like you figgure 152 00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:02.759 something out, like to see him pick up the offense, 153 00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:09.600 and I feel good. I feel confident, but not comfortable rightfully. 154 00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:11.720 So this World Series is not over. 155 00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:15.560 As Freddie said yesterday, it's one game and the Dodgers 156 00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:18.759 came in and you heard Tommy Edmund tell us thank 157 00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:21.319 you for the phone call Bruce say that we had 158 00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:24.160 to bottle up that emotion and take care of business tonight, 159 00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:27.160 and taking the lead early and getting this crowd involved 160 00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:31.399 early certainly helped. Not to mention, I referenced this last night. 161 00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:36.320 I know everybody's bringing parallels to Kirk Gibson's home run 162 00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:39.039 in nineteen eighty eight, to Freddie Freeman's and rightfully so, 163 00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:40.960 there are a lot of similarities. 164 00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:43.759 But what helped propel the Dodgers to. 165 00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:47.559 Beat the Big, bad, Mighty A's in eighty eight wasn't 166 00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:51.559 just Kirk Gibson's walk off home run in Game one. Yes, 167 00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:55.240 that stunned the A's who thought they were going to 168 00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:58.320 sweep the Dodgers. In fact, I spoke to the old 169 00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:03.200 Dodgers clubhouse manager last night, Jerry Turner, who told me 170 00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:06.960 when Dave Parker was taken out of that Game one 171 00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:09.759 in the eighth inning, he was chirping in the clubhouse 172 00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:13.279 they were going to sweep the Dodgers. So that's how 173 00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:16.120 overconfident the A's were, and they were punched in the 174 00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:19.759 mouth and never recovered. But part of the reason why 175 00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:23.559 is because in Game two, the A's had to face 176 00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:27.200 the most dominant pitcher in nineteen eighty eight, and that 177 00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:30.960 was Oral Hersheizer, who shut them down in Game two 178 00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:35.720 as well. What Yoshi Yamamoto gave the Dodgers tonight was 179 00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:39.879 not Herscheizer esque, but it had the same effect. He 180 00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:43.960 shut down the Yankees, allowed just one hit in six 181 00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:46.720 and the third innings, and I actually believe he could 182 00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:49.519 have finished that inning. In fact, he probably should have 183 00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:53.039 finished that inning. He only had allowed one hit. And 184 00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:55.600 what world do you take a picture out that has 185 00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:58.240 only given up one hit in six and a third innings. 186 00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:02.879 So the point of the man is without Yamamoto pitching 187 00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:07.679 the way he did tonight, the momentum from last night means, 188 00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:11.399 I shouldn't say, means nothing, but it certainly is stifled. 189 00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:15.159 And that's what reminded me of what Oral Herscheizer did 190 00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:18.159 in Game two of the eighty eight World Series after 191 00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:24.080 Gibson's heroics in Game one. So this is definitely going 192 00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:27.639 the way the Dodgers needed it to go. And quite frankly, 193 00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:30.919 the Yankees are not as good of a team as 194 00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:34.120 the San Diego Padres. I would make that argument, but 195 00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:36.559 the Dodgers still have to execute, They still have to 196 00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:39.320 get timely hitting and the Dodgers have done a great 197 00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:43.799 job containing Aaron Judge, who was zero for four again tonight. 198 00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:47.240 John Carlos Stanton was one for four. He drove in 199 00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:49.480 a run in that ninth inning off of Blake Trin 200 00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:52.480 And but Juan Soto has been the big problem for 201 00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:55.639 the Dodgers. Outside of Soto, the other two guys I 202 00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:59.120 guess Stanton last night, but specifically I guess I should 203 00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:03.120 say Aaron Judge has not been a factor in this series. 204 00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:06.559 And here was Aaron Judge moments ago in the Yankees clubhouse. 205 00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:09.279 You know, we've been through a lot of adversity through 206 00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:11.600 one sixty two and even in this postseason. So guys, 207 00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:13.320 you're gonna step up. Guys are gonna do what anything 208 00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:15.320 to do. And I got to step up as well. 209 00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:17.639 You know I've been you know, especially with what labor 210 00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:19.000 and what want to do on the top of the lineup. Man, 211 00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:20.720 I got to back them up. So you know they're 212 00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:23.159 gonna keep getting getting on base. I gotta drive a man. 213 00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:23.600 Or move over. 214 00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:26.759 And when you're having an explanation for why you're expanding, 215 00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:29.279 and when you do, you haven't use your who's remedy? 216 00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:33.279 That really walking on your zone. You know at times 217 00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:33.639 you want to. 218 00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:35.639 I think it's trying to make things happen and so 219 00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:37.720 letting the game come to you. I think that's what 220 00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:38.559 it really comes down to. 221 00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:38.919 You know. 222 00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:40.879 You see labor out there on base one is getting 223 00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:42.320 on base doing things. You want to try to make 224 00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:44.399 something happen. But uh, you know, if you're not going 225 00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:45.799 to get a pitch on the zone, you gotta just 226 00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:49.759 take your walks instead. Up for Big G's so playing 227 00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:52.480 a sample, I gotta start stringing strike the strikes. 228 00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:52.679 All right. 229 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:55.519 There's Aaron Judge speaking to reporters moments to go in 230 00:11:55.559 --> 00:11:59.759 the Yankees clubhouse, and Olden Gonzalez from ESPN had a 231 00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:03.559 very very interesting note. Aaron Judge has taken one hundred 232 00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:07.600 and nine swings in this playoffs and has whiffed on 233 00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:11.200 forty seven of them. That's a swing and misrate of 234 00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:14.679 forty three percent. That's the highest whiff rate during a 235 00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:17.519 regular seat. Well, I guess the highest whiff rate during 236 00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:21.120 the regular season was by Zach Gehloff, who swung and 237 00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:25.399 missed at a thirty six percent clip. Judge is swinging 238 00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:28.440 and missing at a forty three percent clip. And the 239 00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:31.799 Dodgers are spinning him to death. Flirty did it with 240 00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:35.519 the curveball last night. Yamamoto was doing it again tonight 241 00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:39.279 with his split fingered fastball. And the other spin that 242 00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:42.320 he had at his disposal tonight is slider. 243 00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:46.080 He was able to use that as a weapon at times. 244 00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:51.159 And certainly the Dodgers have a great scating report on 245 00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:55.200 Aaron Judge because they are exploiting him. Yamamoto with his 246 00:12:55.279 --> 00:12:59.320 curveball tonight, with his split fingered fastball tonight, was able 247 00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:01.679 to limit the end Thanke's to just one hit and 248 00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:05.399 Aaron Judge, oh for for tonight. Let's go out to Felix, 249 00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:07.120 who is at Dodgers Stadium tonight. 250 00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:08.919 Hi Felix, you're on Dodger Talk. 251 00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:11.000 What's going on? 252 00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:11.360 My man? 253 00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:11.759 Hey? 254 00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:14.159 Before I start, I'd like to say thank you to 255 00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:17.000 you and everyone at the station for everything you guys do, 256 00:13:17.320 --> 00:13:20.080 especially throughout the whole season. You guys have been great. 257 00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:22.519 I love listening to you guys after the show, So 258 00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:23.159 just thank. 259 00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:25.840 You, Hey, thank you for listening and being such a 260 00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:26.399 great fan. 261 00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:29.639 So yeah, man, I'm on my way back south to 262 00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:33.879 Modre Country, but I wanted to say a couple of 263 00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:37.039 things and I'll make it quick. First, If anyone's still 264 00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:39.759 on the fence about going to these games and they're 265 00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:42.960 kind of weirded out about you know the cost, trust me, folks, 266 00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:43.600 it's worth it. 267 00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:46.720 I splurged. I treated myself. 268 00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:48.799 I figured, you know what, I only lived once and 269 00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:51.360 I'm not taking it with me when when God calls 270 00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:51.960 out on me. 271 00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:56.679 So third base A roads from the field. I loved every. 272 00:13:56.559 --> 00:13:58.759 Minute of Wow, those are great seats. 273 00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:01.360 So you had a front row you to not only 274 00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:05.120 Dodgers Yankees, but a front row view to ice Cube 275 00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:07.240 just freestyling out there by himself. 276 00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:07.960 That was epic. 277 00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:11.559 I didn't even know that was happening, man. So it started, 278 00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:13.399 and I'm like, hey, I also get a concert out 279 00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:18.679 of it. Tommy Edmund that guy is playing his you 280 00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:21.879 know what offs and I'm enjoying every second of it. 281 00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:26.039 I know, Freddie Freeman, you know, possibly MVP of the 282 00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:29.399 World series, Tommy Edmund Man maybe. 283 00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:32.000 And the last thing I'll say is, and it's just 284 00:14:32.039 --> 00:14:37.240 an observation. Every person, including myself, if I'm being honest, 285 00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:41.440 every person has given Dave Roberts crap about name it. 286 00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:43.120 Filling the flanks I looked at. 287 00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:46.919 I would want to give Dodger fans the opportunity to 288 00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:49.559 give the man some props for what he is doing. 289 00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:52.960 I mean, we can all Monday quarterback. 290 00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:56.600 The man, but right now, everything he has been doing 291 00:14:56.879 --> 00:15:00.480 this entire postseason, including tonight. Yes, I second guests and 292 00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:03.440 pulling on my motto, but I saw the pitch count. 293 00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:07.039 And I know, I mean, he has taken half the. 294 00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:09.639 Season off, so maybe that's why he did it. You 295 00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:12.279 know what, I'm not gonna second guess him. God bless him. 296 00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:15.600 He did it. We won. We're two wins away, man, 297 00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:18.759 So I'll take you your comments. 298 00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:21.919 Off the radio, all right, Felix, thanks for the phone call. Yeah. 299 00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:26.559 Dave Roberts has been a topic of conversation ever since 300 00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:29.799 the Dodgers beat the Padres, which I feel is hilarious. 301 00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:34.440 Dave Roberts didn't just become a good manager. Dave Roberts 302 00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:38.720 did not just become mister positive. That's who Dave Roberts 303 00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:42.200 has been for the last nine years as the Dodger manager, 304 00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:46.440 who he is right now obviously more experienced, He's now 305 00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:51.120 in his fourth World Series managing the Dodgers. That obviously 306 00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:54.559 helps to slow down the game and understand what's coming. 307 00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:57.200 At you, and I feel like that is an advantage 308 00:15:57.200 --> 00:16:01.440 for the Dodgers. But Dave Roberts didn't just become a 309 00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:05.840 great manager overnight. In your mind, he did, but he 310 00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:09.720 has managed two really good seasons back to back, and 311 00:16:09.960 --> 00:16:13.120 he led the Dodgers to the twenty World Series as well. 312 00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:17.679 So I mean, I'm all for it, but I think 313 00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:20.759 it's a little comic goal that now, all of a sudden, 314 00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:24.080 everybody thinks Dave Roberts is a Hall of Famer when 315 00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:28.360 what changed? He beat the Padres, if he lost to 316 00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:31.320 the Padres, if the Dodgers lost to the Padres, Is 317 00:16:31.399 --> 00:16:33.080 Dave Roberts a horrible manager? 318 00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:37.320 Absolutely not. But one thing about Dave. 319 00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:40.799 Roberts is from day I shouldn't say since day one, 320 00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:44.600 I would say since day one, before the postseason began. 321 00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:47.360 I was out here at Dodgers Stadium. 322 00:16:46.639 --> 00:16:50.240 Talking to Dave before one of the workouts, and he 323 00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:54.360 told me, very candidly, I really believe in this team. 324 00:16:54.559 --> 00:16:56.759 And you know, you hear guy managers say that I 325 00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:00.000 really believe in this team. But he was really authentic 326 00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:03.279 and genuine, and everything that he has done with his 327 00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:07.039 actions has really backed up those words that he has 328 00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:09.960 believed in this team. And look, if Otani's out for 329 00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:13.000 the rest of the World Series, next man up. You 330 00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:14.880 know what I would do if Otani was out for 331 00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:17.519 the rest of the World Series, I'd make Will Smith 332 00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:20.680 the DH and have Austin Barnes catch eight six six 333 00:17:20.759 --> 00:17:23.519 nine eighty seven two five seventy is the phone number. 334 00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:27.160 Let's go out to Ray. Who is at Dodgers Stadium tonight? Hi, Ray, 335 00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:28.160 you're on Dodger Talk. 336 00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:31.480 Holy crab, Holy crab, David, I. 337 00:17:31.599 --> 00:17:34.519 Say, oh, yeah, so you're in the parking lot. I 338 00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:36.000 hurd some horns honking. 339 00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:38.640 Yep, I'm heading out stuck in traffic. 340 00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:44.799 Uhated to our first World Series game. 341 00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:49.359 More wins, two more wins, two more wins. 342 00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:51.759 Yeah, we mean that off the bucket list. 343 00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:53.359 You know, we're just so excited. 344 00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:58.039 Andre Ethier Matt Camp throwing out the first pitch, handing 345 00:17:58.079 --> 00:17:59.400 it over to Ice Cuet. 346 00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:04.440 It was amazing. And I know you're in the Dodgers 347 00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:08.000 Stadium parking lot. I'm sure the cell towers got you 348 00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:10.599 right there. But happy you guys had a great time 349 00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:13.240 at the game. And look, from start to finish, like 350 00:18:13.359 --> 00:18:18.119 last night, it was, it was not just a game. 351 00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:22.480 It was an event to be at tonight Dodgers Yankees. Yes, 352 00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:25.160 but then the Dodgers pull out all the stops and 353 00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:28.200 bring out Matt Camp andre Ethier to throw out the 354 00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:32.200 first pitch and then ice Cube comes out from center field. 355 00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:32.559 Come on. 356 00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:36.440 That was pretty spectacular. And speaking of Andre Ethier and 357 00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:40.119 Matt Camp, andre joined us on the pregame show, and 358 00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:44.200 he spent his entire twelve year career with the Dodgers 359 00:18:44.279 --> 00:18:47.839 and certainly has a lot of passion for this franchise, 360 00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:51.640 even though he retired after the twenty seventeen World Series. 361 00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:53.799 And he's a big fan of this team and a 362 00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:57.480 big fan of what they're doing. And he's a big 363 00:18:57.519 --> 00:19:00.480 fan like all of us when Freddie Freeman does something 364 00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:03.519 that he did last night. Here was what Andre Ethier 365 00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:06.640 had to say about the twenty twenty four Dodgers and 366 00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:09.119 Freddy Freeman's walk off Grand Slam. 367 00:19:09.559 --> 00:19:13.119 Oh yeah, one hundred percent invested. Uh you know, I'm 368 00:19:13.920 --> 00:19:16.680 you know, all in. I love this team, I love 369 00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:19.640 this organization. I wanted to have, you know, the most 370 00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:22.480 amount of success that could have. But yeah, when we 371 00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:25.440 were getting series in games like this, I'm I'm all 372 00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:28.720 for it. I'm sitting there yelling and screaming, probably doing 373 00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:30.519 the same reactions that everyone's doing at home, at the 374 00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:31.680 same reactions everone's doing. 375 00:19:31.519 --> 00:19:32.039 At the stadium. 376 00:19:32.119 --> 00:19:34.039 So yeah, it's fun to be here. 377 00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:36.960 That's why I'm here today and here enjoying World Series 378 00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:40.359 baseball back in LA where right rightfully belongs to rightfully 379 00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:40.839 should be. 380 00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:44.480 Andre it seemed like everybody was happy for Freddie Freeman 381 00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:47.359 because I know, if you've talked about this, the game 382 00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:49.920 rewards you, and it seems like he's put in a 383 00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:51.720 lot to this game, and it felt like the game 384 00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:53.200 rewarded him last night. 385 00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:55.839 For sure, one hundred percent. H You know, he's been 386 00:19:55.839 --> 00:19:58.440 a guy who's been so stable over the course of 387 00:19:58.480 --> 00:20:00.920 his whole, you know, career. I think I saw that 388 00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:03.119 stat they pulled up last night all his what he's 389 00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:05.000 first and second in and the last like I don't know, 390 00:20:05.079 --> 00:20:07.240 it was a five six, seven years or something like 391 00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:10.240 pits RBIs, you. 392 00:20:10.160 --> 00:20:10.920 Know, all that stuff. 393 00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:13.279 I mean, it's it's unbelievable to see the resume he's 394 00:20:13.279 --> 00:20:15.440 put together, and he's quite and let's really be real, 395 00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:17.799 he's quietly done it. Everyone knows who Freddy Freeman is 396 00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:19.960 everyone and can give his accolades. But you don't realize 397 00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:22.240 the level of success he's had, not only the level 398 00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:25.960 of success, the elite level of success he's had, because 399 00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:28.680 you look at those numbers right there, he's first, not 400 00:20:28.680 --> 00:20:31.839 not tenth, not eleventh, not even thirtieth, He's first and 401 00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:35.759
