Speaker 1: nine eighty seven two five seventy Saxy joining us now
Speaker 1: our Dodger insider. He was up late last night doing
Speaker 1: Dodger talk. He is a one and only David Vese DV.
Speaker 1: Good morning, buddy, how you doing?
Speaker 3: Hey, good morning, Steve sas can recognize some of these
Speaker 3: streets I'm passing. I'm on the one oh one headed
Speaker 3: to Dodger Stadium, just passing Racina Boulevard. Soup familiar Saxy.
Speaker 5: Oh, yes, David. Absolutely, I got.
Speaker 1: David a lot of us.
Speaker 3: When he played for the Dodgers.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, my first year, my first year. We'll start right there. Hey,
Speaker 5: do you want to go first?
Speaker 6: Him?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Go for us. Actually, all right, since we're already
Speaker 5: talking to the great David Vasse, David what's the talk.
Speaker 5: I mean, look, no dingers, you have we got seven, eight,
Speaker 5: nine killing it. Uh and this is done by small
Speaker 5: ball as well. I'm just loving the way the Dodgers
Speaker 5: are winning these games stringing hits together. Who would have
Speaker 5: guessed that. I mean, it's been great defense, it's been
Speaker 5: base running, it's been base hits the other way. How
Speaker 5: about Key k and Tommy Edmond lining the change up
Speaker 5: the other way like a textbook. I mean, this is
Speaker 5: amazing what we're seeing right now with the Dodgers. No
Speaker 5: slug but big wins.
Speaker 3: Yeah, especially from those groups of hitters for the Dodgers,
Speaker 3: the bottom part of the orders seven, eight and nine
Speaker 3: not having too big of a swing. And you know
Speaker 3: what I also love, Steve, is the fact that Tommy
Speaker 3: Edmund and Gavin Lux each laid down sacrifice buns to
Speaker 3: put a runner at second base for show. Hey o, Tommy,
Speaker 3: the Dodgers are playing for each other right now. They
Speaker 3: have come together ever since that loss in San Diego.
Speaker 3: I've been told after Walker Bueler came into the dugout
Speaker 3: through the cooler of bubble gum and Taeoscar Hernandez trying
Speaker 3: to will this team back to victory that night. That's
Speaker 3: when things really changed for the Dodgers, and certainly they
Speaker 3: have a lot of confidence right now and they're playing
Speaker 3: for each other. That's what you need to do in
Speaker 3: the postseason.
Speaker 1: Jack flaherty has pitched before Dodger Stadium, albeit in a
Speaker 1: CIF championship game against Marina High School back in twenty thirteen.
Speaker 1: But last night in the postseason, when they needed him
Speaker 1: on the biggest stage in Game one, to go out
Speaker 1: there and shut down the met in the first inning,
Speaker 1: he did more than that. Seven shutout innings. What a
Speaker 1: performance from the young man out of the eight.
Speaker 5: One a day.
Speaker 3: Hey, that's the best I've seen Jack flaherty pitch for
Speaker 3: the Dodgers since they traded for him. He's had some
Speaker 3: pretty good starts too, but in that situation, coming off
Speaker 3: in okay start against the Padres in the DS, that
Speaker 3: was the best I have seen Jack Flaherty. And you know,
Speaker 3: I would venture to say that's the best he's pitched
Speaker 3: probably since he was a Saint Louis Cardinal. He had
Speaker 3: his curveball working, he had his slider working, and he
Speaker 3: was attacking with his fastball, and all three of those
Speaker 3: pitches so you know, not only did Jack Flaherty win
Speaker 3: the game for the Dodgers and put up a zero
Speaker 3: going seven innings last night and the Dodger offense scoring
Speaker 3: nine runs, they helped themselves today to give Walker Bueller
Speaker 3: the start in New York and go with a bullpen
Speaker 3: game the day before a day off in this series.
Speaker 5: Yeah, David, I look at the underpinnings of this team,
Speaker 5: and what I'm seeing now is a new dement of
Speaker 5: this club being added. I'm sure they did it sometimes
Speaker 5: during the season, but the unity and the humility on
Speaker 5: the ball club, Like Father Gary when he called in
Speaker 5: and told us about this, when Freddy crosses a plate
Speaker 5: and Mookie kind of props him up and they kind
Speaker 5: of give each other the you know, kind of a
Speaker 5: nice bro hug.
Speaker 6: There.
Speaker 5: The thing about it, it's genuine. It's not it's not
Speaker 5: made up. They're not looking at cameras. This is genuine stuff.
Speaker 5: We're seeing right now that everybody's getting excited about somebody
Speaker 5: else being successful. That's winning stuff. Man.
Speaker 3: That was my favorite. There were two moments last night
Speaker 3: that were my favorite scenes that I think when they
Speaker 3: make the Dodgers World Championship video will be at the
Speaker 3: center part of it. Mookie Bets catching Freddie Freeman to
Speaker 3: help him put the brakes on, and Jack Flaherty's finding
Speaker 3: his mom and them embracing after his game last night.
Speaker 3: Those are two my favorite moments last night. And look,
Speaker 3: Steve I said this during the regular scene. The Dodgers
Speaker 3: were too nice. Rookie Bets and Freddie Freeman are two
Speaker 3: of the nicest guys you'll meet. Luki Betts is so
Speaker 3: humble that he loses confidence and forgets how good he is.
Speaker 3: That's why having a guy like Otani, having a guy
Speaker 3: like Taioscar Hernandez key y Hernandez And don't you know,
Speaker 3: I know Tommy Edmond is a smiling assassin, but that
Speaker 3: guy when he's between the lines, he's not your friend anymore.
Speaker 3: And Jack Flaherty has some of the biggest edge and
Speaker 3: mount presence you will find on the Dodgers' staff. So
Speaker 3: they need these guys because the superstars from the last
Speaker 3: couple of years have been too nice.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so what you're saying is you're talking about hornis.
Speaker 3: Well, I think they all have it to a certain extent.
Speaker 3: But you can't be too nice. You can't be like
Speaker 3: all right, mister polite, Let's play baseball in the polite way. No,
Speaker 3: you gotta play like key K does, like Monsey does,
Speaker 3: like Taoscar Hernandez does, the way Jack Flaherty, you know,
Speaker 3: is mouthing off to Machado in the last round. That's
Speaker 3: who he is. Walker Buehler has that. That's what the
Speaker 3: Dodgers were missing when I was going toe to toe
Speaker 3: with Eric Carrows in August.
Speaker 1: You mentioned Kek Hernandez in the fifth inning last night, David,
Speaker 1: there was a little bit of a heartbeat from the
Speaker 1: New York Mets. A Jesse Winker single and then Iglesias
Speaker 1: with a single to left center field. The Winker's going
Speaker 1: first to third on it, and a smart play by
Speaker 1: key K, but a deck by key K. His body
Speaker 1: looking one way, he throws the other way like Patrick
Speaker 1: Mahomes throwing a football in the scramble, and he kind
Speaker 1: of confused Winker out there. How about key K being
Speaker 1: KEYK making a big play there and get the getting
Speaker 1: Winker out there at third.
Speaker 3: Kek, you know, for everything else people focus on, he
Speaker 3: is one of the smartest players on the field, and
Speaker 3: quite honestly, yeah, it was a great play, but Jesse
Speaker 3: Winker made a bonehead based running play. He was almost
Speaker 3: at third base. I don't know why he stopped. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and let's face guys, the Mets are not winning this
Speaker 3: series if they don't play my guy, America's DH JD. Martinez.
Speaker 3: I mean, they're playing Jesse Winker over JD. Martinez. I
Speaker 3: know Martinez had one of the worst slumps of his career,
Speaker 3: but JD. Martinez, do you guys realize what he has
Speaker 3: done at Dodger Stadium. He's hitting three to eleven with
Speaker 3: twenty two home runs at Dodger Stadium. All that handedness
Speaker 3: and everything else has got to go out the window.
Speaker 3: And thank you again to the twenty eighteen nlcs CO
Speaker 3: MVP David Stearns. Thank you again for this year's NLCS Hey.
Speaker 5: David, wanted to ask you about, you know, what's here
Speaker 5: in present with this bullpen game today. Well, first question
Speaker 5: is how really, you know, rested up and good and
Speaker 5: not really nicked up is this bullpen as we speak
Speaker 5: right now? And secondly, who might be the bolt guy
Speaker 5: if there is going to be one today?
Speaker 3: Yeah, great question, Steve. In the last bullpen game, the
Speaker 3: Dodgers really didn't go with a bulk guy. Dave Roberts
Speaker 3: was pretty up front that he was going with all
Speaker 3: of his high leverage relievers in that bullpen game. I
Speaker 3: would imagine after the way things went yesterday, it's going
Speaker 3: to be the same thing. Unless this game gets out
Speaker 3: of hand, you're going to see guys for an inning plus.
Speaker 3: I don't think you're going to see a landing neck
Speaker 3: for five innings. I don't believe you're going to see
Speaker 3: Brent Honeywell for four innings. This is going to be
Speaker 3: a high leverage type of game every single inning, and
Speaker 3: the biggest loss to the bullpen is Alex Mesia. Now
Speaker 3: it's not as big of a loss in this series,
Speaker 3: even though he's really good against righties as well, But
Speaker 3: if he's not able to pitch in the world, that
Speaker 3: may be a bigger, you know, kind of hole in
Speaker 3: the bullpen.
Speaker 1: Gavin Locks last night left the game with the right
Speaker 1: hip flexer that when it flared up, they got the
Speaker 1: left hander Sean mcni are pitching to lux may Or
Speaker 1: may not be in the lineup, but usually against the lefty,
Speaker 1: he's not out there, so this could be a good thing.
Speaker 1: Maybe David to get an extra day of rest, on
Speaker 1: that hip.
Speaker 3: Well, he has been playing against lefties recently. There was
Speaker 3: a period of time where he was struggling and the
Speaker 3: Dodgers wanted to get Chris Taylor at bats and keep
Speaker 3: him sharp for whatever reason. I guess for this reason.
Speaker 3: Because I don't see Luck starting today, I would be surprised,
Speaker 3: especially with the day off tomorrow and the lefty. Like
Speaker 3: you said on the Mountain, that makes sense. Chris Taylor, Kei,
Speaker 3: k Hernandez will both be in the starting lineup. I
Speaker 3: haven't seen a lineup yet, but I would imagine that
Speaker 3: because of Sean and I being on the mound, it
Speaker 3: would give the Dodgers an opportunity to make sure Lux
Speaker 3: is ready to go for Game three.
Speaker 5: Hey, David, last one for me. I want to just
Speaker 5: make a point here is when you see the Dodgers
Speaker 5: doing the small ball thing and winning games without hitting
Speaker 5: a home run, not only jacks up the guys that
Speaker 5: are supposed to hit the home runs that we know
Speaker 5: are going to hit home runs, but it puts an
Speaker 5: infusion of optimism in the pitching staff too. The pressure
Speaker 5: gets taken off of everybody when you win games and
Speaker 5: manufacture runs like the Dodgers are doing right now. They
Speaker 5: can ride this thing for quite a while. I believe.
Speaker 3: The most dangerous part of this Dodger offense now, Steve,
Speaker 3: is how multi dimensional it is.
Speaker 5: There's no question you got a fifty fifty.
Speaker 3: Guy hitting leadoff right and in the NLDS, the twenty
Speaker 3: five of their runs were scored on sixteen home runs.
Speaker 3: Now last night they scored nine runs without hitting a
Speaker 3: home run. That's scary for the opposition.
Speaker 1: David. We appreciate it. You're on your way into the
Speaker 1: ballpark now. It's an early one today, first pitch at
Speaker 1: ONEHO eight. Looks like Ryan Brasier will be the opener
Speaker 1: for the Dodgers like he was in Game four of
Speaker 1: the NLDSHA and left ender Sham and Naya is going
Speaker 1: to go for the New York Mets. Appreciate it, David.
Speaker 3: All right, thank you guys. I'm passing Van Eyes Boulevard
Speaker 3: right now, so you got me from Rosita to Van Eyes.
Speaker 1: All right, you're creeping slowly, but surely else the one.
Speaker 1: Thanks to David Vasse, our Dodger insider. Yeah, a lot
Speaker 1: of you driving into work right now, dvs. Driving into
Speaker 1: the stadium again an afternoon game today. If you're heading
Speaker 1: out there, get out there early. The stadium gates have
Speaker 1: opened as the Dodgers and Mets will play Game two
Speaker 1: of this NLCS and then head off to New York
Speaker 1: for games three, four, and if necessary, Game five Wednesday,
Speaker 1: Thursday and Friday at City Field in New York. Eight
Speaker 1: sixty six ninety seven two five seven. Let's sqeeze in
Speaker 1: a call before we take a break here, Saxy, go
Speaker 1: out to Victor in LA, who's been waiting patiently. You're
Speaker 1: always sax with kateson AM on this Monday morning. How
Speaker 1: you're doing, Victor.
Speaker 6: I'm doing great.
Speaker 7: I'm doing great. Happy the Dodgers line.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt. Need to keep it going today. You
Speaker 1: need to take a two zero series lead back to
Speaker 1: New York and kind of squeeze any kind of life
Speaker 1: this offense the Mets has.
Speaker 7: Out of them.
Speaker 6: Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 7: I think the bullpening game is perfect today.
Speaker 6: Yesterday when the Mets lost, they were looking like they
Speaker 6: lost the game four.
Speaker 8: So I believe if the Dodgers shut them out, they'll
Speaker 8: have no momentum going back into New York.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got it all right, Victor. Appreciate the phone call.
Speaker 1: We'll see I think Sean and I is an interesting
Speaker 1: choice for the for the Mets, and certainly one of
Speaker 1: their only choices. This isn't a dominating rotation. I mean
Speaker 1: that's something to keep in mind, Steve, that this isn't
Speaker 1: you Darvish Dylan Cees when healthy Joe musgrove on that
Speaker 1: Padres rotation and the bullpen that the Padres have. Sure
Speaker 1: they got Edwin Diaz at the back end the Mets
Speaker 1: do with that bullpen to close things out.
Speaker 5: He can be dicey sometimes.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, He's not the Edwin Diaz of a couple of
Speaker 1: years ago before the knee injury. But this isn't a
Speaker 1: dominant rotation. I mean, it's it's Sean and I of
Speaker 1: frying out a lout in Game two tonight.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and the Dodgers got to just keep the site
Speaker 5: set high, not played down to what they might fe
Speaker 5: may feel is not quite a good or a talent
Speaker 5: to team as they are. You just got to keep
Speaker 5: putting the pressure on these guys, keep putting, you know,
Speaker 5: the pressure with speed, run on the base paths, and
Speaker 5: do those little things that they're doing right now. That's
Speaker 5: gonna make the difference. David, I got Tim I gotta
Speaker 5: ask you a question. I'm not sure what the injury
Speaker 5: is with Vesia. It's not an intercostal or an oblique,
Speaker 5: Is that right? Or what is it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's something with his back, his side. He pulled
Speaker 1: it in Game five on Friday night against the Padres,
Speaker 1: and it was bad enough that he couldn't be put
Speaker 1: on this roster. And as David alluded to, hopefully he's
Speaker 1: available for the World Series if the Dodgers were to advance,
Speaker 1: because yeah, as it is now, they got one left hander.
Speaker 5: They need him, they need him, and just to make
Speaker 5: good on this Dodgers no home runs, one double and
Speaker 5: a bunch of singles and they pack on nine runs. Correct, Yes,
Speaker 5: great news. That's just brilliant for them.
Speaker 1: It is fantastic when you can get to all those
Speaker 1: runs and you're not having Hotani go deep months he
Speaker 1: go deep, or none of the big boppers having to
Speaker 1: go deeper. This Dodgers team. Game two coming up the
Speaker 1: this afternoon. It's an early one Wrongo Casino. Dodgers on deck.
Speaker 1: Gets it all started at noon, first pitch at oneh eight,
Speaker 1: and then it's off to New York for Games three
Speaker 1: to four and if necessary, Game five Dodgers win Game
Speaker 1: one last night, a nine to nothing win over the
Speaker 1: New York Mets. He is Steve Sacks, I'm Tim Kates.
Speaker 1: Thanks for being with us. Your phone calls the rest
Speaker 1: of the way. It's Sax and Kate's in the Am
Speaker 1: live and local on your Homer showy Otani and the
Speaker 1: Dodgers AFI seventy LA Sports, Saxon Kate's in the Am.
Speaker 1: It's a five to seventy LA sports live in local
Speaker 1: as your home of the Dodgers. Leading up to Game
Speaker 1: two of the NLCS, Ryan Brasier on the Mountains for
Speaker 1: the Dodgers in a bullpen game, Shaman Naya. We'll go
Speaker 1: for the New York Mets in Game two. Dodgers a
Speaker 1: one to oh series lead after a nine to nothing
Speaker 1: victory last night. In this series opener, Marongo Casino, Dodgers
Speaker 1: on deck will get it all started at noon. First
Speaker 1: pitch from Dodger Stadium is coming up at one eight.
Speaker 1: After the game today, the Dodgers will head east to
Speaker 1: New York, get into New York early in the morning,
Speaker 1: day off tomorrow, workout at City Field late in the afternoon,
Speaker 1: and then getting ready for Game three of this NLCS
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, traveling in this series sex you guys did it,
Speaker 1: of course back in nineteen eighty eight. And this NLCS
Speaker 1: going east coast to west coast reminiscent of the Dodgers Mets,
Speaker 1: the Lakers and Celtics back in the eighties. It's not
Speaker 1: a short trip, it's a long flight. So a lot
Speaker 1: of times they were thinking, reflect on what you've done
Speaker 1: in the first two games in the series, and for
Speaker 1: the Dodgers certainly would be a nicer flight if they're
Speaker 1: up to Oh.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, there's no question to call that a happy flight,
Speaker 5: and that's what they're looking for today. Hey, the great
Speaker 5: thing about it is when you're in the big leagues,
Speaker 5: remember you don't touch your luggage. You don't have to
Speaker 5: deal with any of that. You have a whole row
Speaker 5: that lay down and go to sleep on the plane
Speaker 5: if you want. That's what I tried to do is
Speaker 5: sleep as much as I could. I never really got
Speaker 5: tired throughout the court of the year because all I
Speaker 5: did was sleep and play baseball and eat good food,
Speaker 5: you know, And that's what the Dodgers are doing. I
Speaker 5: don't think with the height and awareness of what's at
Speaker 5: stake that you're going to see any fatigue factors setting
Speaker 5: in as being a reason why the Dodgers didn't get
Speaker 5: something done. Regardless of the fact that you're going coast
Speaker 5: to coast, it doesn't matter. They're going to be well
Speaker 5: rested and they're going to be right where they want
Speaker 5: to be.
Speaker 1: Were you somebody that didn't want to talk on flights?
Speaker 1: Were you a movie watcher if they had movies back
Speaker 1: then at the time, certainly not the portable devices they
Speaker 1: have now. But were you a card game guy? Maybe
Speaker 1: a card game in the back of the play Well,
Speaker 1: who was Steve Sacks on these flights?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 5: Never never played cards. Wasn't really a movie. I would talk.
Speaker 5: I like to talk, you know, with my teammates and stuff,
Speaker 5: and then I like to sleep, do a little bit
Speaker 5: of talk, eat some good food, and then go to sleep.
Speaker 5: That's that's all I want to do. I didn't want
Speaker 5: to play cards, you know, rock it up a little
Speaker 5: bit and watch a long alum movie. I just wanted
Speaker 5: to kind of say to myself, and you know, I
Speaker 5: did like to talk. I did like to be boring
Speaker 5: to talk baseball with with my teammates. I really enjoyed that.
Speaker 5: I remember having some really good conversations with Kurt Gibson
Speaker 5: on flights. He used to like to talk baseball, so
Speaker 5: we were lockermates next to each other too, So I
Speaker 5: like to pick his brain a lot. And also I
Speaker 5: remember in eighty eight, get this, remember when Don Sutton
Speaker 5: was on our team in eighty eight, and I used
Speaker 5: to listen to him and pick his brain. He was
Speaker 5: a five and fly five and fly guy on our
Speaker 5: team because he was, you know, eighty three years old.
Speaker 5: But nonetheless, I would pick the brain of a pitcher.
Speaker 5: You know, guys, you're going against sure and you know
Speaker 5: this is a Hall of Famer, and so what a
Speaker 5: what a great benefit it was to pick the brain
Speaker 5: of a guy that's gonna be in the Hall of Fame,
Speaker 5: and he was a pitcher. That's that was a good
Speaker 5: advantage for me. That is very cool.
Speaker 1: That is certainly you're not a book guy though on
Speaker 1: the flights, you're not one of these guys.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I love to read. I love to read, so
Speaker 5: I do that too, but not not being loud. I
Speaker 5: you know, sometimes they play cards. There's chewing and there's
Speaker 5: loud and there's slapping cards down. No, I never I
Speaker 5: never tht I'd done in that too much.
Speaker 1: All right, Dodgers will get on a plane after Game
Speaker 1: two later on this evening. Game three will be on Wednesday.
Speaker 1: But need to take care of business today in this
Speaker 1: day game of this NLCS. Go back on to the phones,
Speaker 1: Junior in San Fernando. It's been waiting patiently on this
Speaker 1: Monday morning. Saxon Kates and am how you doing? Junior?
Speaker 6: Good?
Speaker 8: Good good. I just want to ask Steve Sach a
Speaker 8: question if he remembers the New York Mets championship game
Speaker 8: when all the fans ran into the field and got
Speaker 8: Hersheizer's had his hat everything.
Speaker 9: We ran in there.
Speaker 7: I was fifteen years old.
Speaker 8: I was with my brother twenty two years old.
Speaker 1: We ran in the field.
Speaker 8: You don't remember that sex.
Speaker 5: Was this in New York?
Speaker 8: No, it was in La Oh.
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 5: I do remember one thing. I do remember, inasmuch as
Speaker 5: they tried to really up the you know, the security
Speaker 5: and whatnot, but people still ran on the fields. Then, Tim,
Speaker 5: He's right, I mean, especially we ran.
Speaker 8: In the field. We got oral Hershider's head. He was
Speaker 8: he was long, sleety first head. It's on the home,
Speaker 8: Fred Rogan, if you guys see it on YouTube or something.
Speaker 5: Would you do with that hat?
Speaker 8: We took his hat, we get, we get We gave
Speaker 8: Oralizer his hat back.
Speaker 5: Oh you did, okay, and he was happy.
Speaker 7: And we got it.
Speaker 8: We got that.
Speaker 7: We got the reef.
Speaker 5: And if you got the hat today, would you would
Speaker 5: you have given it back to him? Or would you
Speaker 5: have put that thing on eBay? What do you think
Speaker 5: that would go for?
Speaker 8: No, that's he gave us a brand new hat.
Speaker 7: He just wanted his hat because he was superstitious.
Speaker 8: Yeah, sure, really we got we got My brother got
Speaker 8: that hat, oral Hersizer's hat. It's leather, insight, the grim
Speaker 8: leather back.
Speaker 1: Then awesome, solid band, awesome junior appreciated eight sixty sixth
Speaker 1: ninety seven two five seventy. Is there a baseball artifact
Speaker 1: that you needed to have, saxy? If oral Herscheizer needed
Speaker 1: his lucky hat, did you need your lucky Mizzoulo glove,
Speaker 1: your lucky cleats, your lucky wristband had your face on it?
Speaker 5: Of course? I mean yeah, listen, if I was riding
Speaker 5: a good streak, I would wear the same you know, cleats,
Speaker 5: the same underwear, the same undershirt. And I remember the
Speaker 5: one I was with the Yankees in Detroit. I was
Speaker 5: on a really hot streak and and I had this
Speaker 5: bat I was using. I just it just felt so
Speaker 5: good in my hands. And I remember I used it
Speaker 5: so much, but I was getting so many hits with
Speaker 5: it that I remember one time I came up and
Speaker 5: I hit a line drive to less center field, and
Speaker 5: it almost looked like it was a pillow fight because
Speaker 5: the bat was was shearing at the end in the
Speaker 5: in the contact sess you know, the real meat of
Speaker 5: the bat. It was starting to fray and I would
Speaker 5: and then finally the umpire said, look, I came. I
Speaker 5: scored a run. He says, look here the bat you're using.
Speaker 5: No mas that I can't even be let it be
Speaker 5: legal now because the thing's going to be nothing pretty soon.
Speaker 5: It just kept chipping away, but I kept getting hits
Speaker 5: with it, so I kept using it. He said, that's it,
Speaker 5: eliminate the bat. I gotta like say, you can't use
Speaker 5: it anymore. So that was it. So absolutely people stick
Speaker 5: with those superstitions.
Speaker 1: If I asked you right now, make and model of
Speaker 1: your baseball value, you remember, yes, yep.
Speaker 5: Louisville Slugger S two Pete Rose model.
Speaker 1: Really.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I was using it, using that same bat
Speaker 5: in the minor leagues and I used it my whole career.
Speaker 5: Kind Of thin at the handle, you can get a
Speaker 5: lot of whip in it, and it's a little thicker
Speaker 5: at the end. And it was really a very balanced bat.
Speaker 5: And that's what I liked when I was hitting a
Speaker 5: bat that was very balanced, and that was an S
Speaker 5: two model. A Louisville slugger loved it.
Speaker 1: Did you ever experiment with another model, maybe in spring train,
Speaker 1: to say, you know what, wou'd switch it up? Maybe
Speaker 1: I like that. Maybe there's a new bat out here
Speaker 1: that I liked that.
Speaker 5: I used a Worth Black bat, remember the Worth bats.
Speaker 5: I used a black Worth bat, same development style. It
Speaker 5: was like an S two and I had my best
Speaker 5: year ever hitting three thirty two with that bat in
Speaker 5: nineteen eighty six. I don't know why I didn't do
Speaker 5: it the rest of my career, but that was a
Speaker 5: really good bat. I loved it.
Speaker 1: Now, this is a dumb question, but we're talking bats,
Speaker 1: and I'm a nerd about this stuff. Maple ash is
Speaker 1: there a huge difference?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 5: No, I don't know. I don't think we had maple
Speaker 5: when we were playing. We used the white ash bats,
Speaker 5: you know from the Adirondack Hills there and back in
Speaker 5: New York. That's where they make them, and they seem
Speaker 5: pretty good for us back then. Sure, the wide are
Speaker 5: the grain, the dens are the bat. So you wanted
Speaker 5: to make sure that game time bats were hading like
Speaker 5: six or seven grains, you know that you could see
Speaker 5: in the in the end there. If you had a
Speaker 5: lot of grain, that's what you use for a batting practice.
Speaker 1: So when they send you a box of bats, you're
Speaker 1: going through them or did you have to tell make
Speaker 1: sure there's six or seven grains before it even gets
Speaker 1: into my hands?
Speaker 5: Oh, you want those? Everybody knows you want those. And
Speaker 5: so I would go through and I would search in there,
Speaker 5: and I would separate the ones that I knew were
Speaker 5: gamers and then the ones that weren't. I would use
Speaker 5: them for batting practice. But there's there's dozens of bats.
Speaker 5: I want our fans to know. You go back, there's
Speaker 5: actually a bathroom. You go back there, there's dozens of
Speaker 5: your bats back there. So there's there's plenty to be had.
Speaker 1: Interesting Well, about the wristband, I just was looking at
Speaker 1: a picture this morning and there's a picture of U
Speaker 1: Steve Sachs and are on your left forearm towards your wrist.
Speaker 1: You were righting a wristband and I loved in the
Speaker 1: eighties the sort of bring him back now as throwbacks,
Speaker 1: but the old your picture on a wristband. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: know Dusty Baker, you know warm when he was managing
Speaker 1: with the Giants. Do you still have those wristbands?
Speaker 5: I don't know if I do, but I remember those
Speaker 5: wristbands remained by a man named James Mims. Who got
Speaker 5: a letter from James not too long ago, and he
Speaker 5: said that he's actually in the Hall of Fame for something. Really,
Speaker 5: I think it was the wristbands had a lot to
Speaker 5: do with it. His father is still a worker on
Speaker 5: one of the escalators at Dodger Stadium. Nice dad still
Speaker 5: works there. So I go back there, I see mister Mims.
Speaker 5: It's great, one of the guys I like to see
Speaker 5: when I come back to Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 1: Yeah, still there, celebrating our fourth decade in MLB. The
Speaker 1: original Mims Brands wristbands very cool. You can team out
Speaker 1: on Instagram, social media. They got a website there. It
Speaker 1: looks like they are still making them for people to order.
Speaker 5: Very cool.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go back down to the phone. I'm
Speaker 1: a geek about this of set see, and I hope
Speaker 1: everybody else loves hearing about it as well. John and
Speaker 1: Beverly Hills joints us here on Saxon CA. How you doing, John, wonderful?
Speaker 7: I think all Dodger fans can exhale and just you know,
Speaker 7: plan their schedule for the World Series, especially when this
Speaker 7: game tonight, When when you have a team that can
Speaker 7: play small ball, and I've been screaming for small ball
Speaker 7: for the last three years. This is the one component
Speaker 7: that Dodgers have been missing. We can't underestimate the ability
Speaker 7: to lay down the bun. How many times do we
Speaker 7: turn on the TV and seeing a big leaguer not
Speaker 7: being able to lay down a bun. To have a
Speaker 7: guy like Tommy Edmunds, and by the way, they should
Speaker 7: be talking to his agent yesterday, we better lock this
Speaker 7: guy up long Trump. I want to see this guy
Speaker 7: in a Dodger uniform for the next decade. He's amazing.
Speaker 7: He's a baseball player. He can play center field, he
Speaker 7: can play short stop, he can lay down a bun.
Speaker 7: He can hit to the opposite field. I mean, oh
Speaker 7: my god, this guy is truly amazing. And bringing back
Speaker 7: Key K Hernandez another big time playoff culture center keeps
Speaker 7: the locker room loose. These guys like each other. I mean,
Speaker 7: look at the culture that Dave Roberts and Andrew Freeman
Speaker 7: as the build his team is amazing. I mean, we
Speaker 7: are so fortunate to have a group of guys like this.
Speaker 7: I mean, please, let's just win it all. Let's lock
Speaker 7: these guys up long term and Tommy Edmonds and Pastor
Speaker 7: Hernandez and let's get kick K a few more years
Speaker 7: and let's enjoy his Dodger team as Los Angeles, because
Speaker 7: this says a wonderful time to be a Dodger fan.
Speaker 5: All right, appreciate call. He's right too, John's right. You
Speaker 5: know what I like about what he said, Tim, is
Speaker 5: these guys really like each other. And that goes such
Speaker 5: a long way. You talk about guys spending time together,
Speaker 5: you know, off the field, and we know that that's
Speaker 5: been happening with this team. The culture on the team
Speaker 5: is paramount. It's the whole starter of everything. Having culture
Speaker 5: on your club, it's absolutely you can't underscore the importance
Speaker 5: of it.
Speaker 1: Tommy Edmond, by the way, is under contract for twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five. He signed a two year deal with the
Speaker 1: Cardinals before the season to avoid his final two years
Speaker 1: of arbitration, So he'll be with the Dodgers in theory
Speaker 1: because he's under contract and with the team through next season,
Speaker 1: and then at the age of thirty one and twenty
Speaker 1: twenty six, becomes an unrestricted free agent. As far as
Speaker 1: ti Oscar Hernandez is concerned, we mentioned it last week.
Speaker 1: He signed a one year, basically arbitration eligible deal for
Speaker 1: about twenty million dollars in the off season, betting on
Speaker 1: himself and didn't get the kind of contract he thought
Speaker 1: he would get in free agency because he had a
Speaker 1: down year in Seattle. But certainly he is Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: he has put up the numbers and we get to
Speaker 1: this offseason here after a Dodger series run, he'll be
Speaker 1: one of the most sought after. I imagine free agents
Speaker 1: out there for guys to get with power.
Speaker 5: A team leader.
Speaker 1: Look what he means to this team with here throwing
Speaker 1: the sunflower seeds into their guys' faces when they come
Speaker 1: off the field of a home run. David Vesta talked
Speaker 1: about the emotional spark he gave him in game number
Speaker 1: three and four down in San Diego. Taoscar Hernandez means
Speaker 1: a lot to the team. He can you go back
Speaker 1: to spring training, Saxon. It was him with the video
Speaker 1: camera and somebody gave him the phone for like a
Speaker 1: behind the scenes on media day a camelback ranch in Arizona,
Speaker 1: and he was having fun with shoe Heyotani and we
Speaker 1: saw Shoyotani for the first time, like laughing and being
Speaker 1: a kid and a different side of Shoeyotani, and it
Speaker 1: was tay Oscar hernandezho got it out of him.
Speaker 5: If you had Taoscar on your team as the big stalwart,
Speaker 5: the guy that was going to lead you to the
Speaker 5: Promised Land, you know, you'd get a lot of nods
Speaker 5: that's saying, yeah, yeah, we'll take that guy as the
Speaker 5: main guy. Well he's really not the main guy on
Speaker 5: this team, as shoe Heyo Tani is. But you've got
Speaker 5: all kinds of different guys that do different things. But
Speaker 5: this is this guy is a beast in the middle
Speaker 5: of that lineup. I mean, what a great addition to
Speaker 5: this team. I hope the Dodgers can keep this guy
Speaker 5: because he is one unbelievable player. He's great out in
Speaker 5: left field. You see the balls that he's taken out
Speaker 5: of the stands over there. Uh, and you know he's
Speaker 5: a hard worker. But man, he's got some thump. And
Speaker 5: I'm telling you what, I really like his game. He's
Speaker 5: he's not a good play. He's a great player, overshadowed
Speaker 5: a little bit by all the different talents on this team,
Speaker 5: but nonetheless he's not He doesn't go unnoticed.
Speaker 1: Eight sixty six nine seven two five seventy is the
Speaker 1: number again. Wrongo Casino Dodgers on deck starts at noon
Speaker 1: today first pitch, Game two of the NLCS is at
Speaker 1: oneh eight Don in the city of Industry with the
Speaker 1: deepest pipes in sports talk radio. Go ahead, don, how
Speaker 1: you doing.
Speaker 9: Jim Kate, Steve Sex, Man, I mean baseball heaven, guys
Speaker 9: are better than thunderburn and night train. Got a load.
Speaker 5: How you doing?
Speaker 6: Man? You know?
Speaker 9: Oh man, great, Now it's actually talking to you guys.
Speaker 9: You know it's this is you know, this is what
Speaker 9: Dodger baseball used to be, guys, right, you know it
Speaker 9: was you know, timely hitting, running the bases. It wasn't
Speaker 9: you know when they even when they were way back
Speaker 9: in New York, or I should say New York, it was, Uh,
Speaker 9: the Yankees were the big power smashers that dog you know,
Speaker 9: small ball guys. I call that real baseball. And they're
Speaker 9: finally getting no more the lounjangle in the zone and
Speaker 9: all this nonsense. They get rid of that, speeding up
Speaker 9: the game. That's great for us. And I'm just in
Speaker 9: I'm in Dodger hog Heaven. I'm just loving it, no doubt.
Speaker 1: Don appreciate the phone call, Don, Yeah, it's it's been
Speaker 1: fun to see them win in different ways. The way
Speaker 1: they won last night, certainly it's got people fired up.
Speaker 1: For this Dodgers team to put a nine runs on
Speaker 1: the board and not hit a home run is certainly impressive.
Speaker 1: But today I wouldn't be surprised that Dodgers go out
Speaker 1: there hit a couple of home runs. They revert back
Speaker 1: to this team that slugs and hits for power. Right now,
Speaker 1: it's still overcast here. Instead think California Saxy, especially here
Speaker 1: in the burbank San Fernando Valley. That'll certainly clear off
Speaker 1: later today. At what point, I don't know, but maybe
Speaker 1: the warms up and the balls flying out of Dodger
Speaker 1: Stadium like it does on day games. But certainly we'll
Speaker 1: we'll find out how the ball is flying later on.
Speaker 5: Jim, are you are you worried about launch angle?
Speaker 1: If I worried about it, I'll be honest a little bit,
Speaker 1: A little bit. I mean, I think a team can
Speaker 1: fall in love with it too much, and I don't
Speaker 1: like seeing that. So when when everybody gets fired up
Speaker 1: this morning about the small ball, I'm right there with them.
Speaker 5: I'll look, let me ask you this, when Shohei Otani
Speaker 5: hits the ball out of the ballpark, or when we
Speaker 5: see the Dodgers do that Will Smith's home run, for instance,
Speaker 5: to dead center field, do you think that their launch
Speaker 5: angle was correct? I would say probably so.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I think that kind of takes care of itself. Yeah,
Speaker 5: you know, Tommy Edmund and Enrique Hernandez soft perfect, nice
Speaker 5: beautiful line drives. They hit it just like he threw it.
Speaker 5: It was a change up and they hit a nice
Speaker 5: change up to right field. Do you think that anybody
Speaker 5: was worried about their so called exit velocity?
Speaker 1: No, of course not. It's ridiculous. It's stupid.
Speaker 5: Okay, hit the ball hard. Who cares if it's one
Speaker 5: a weight or ninety nine? Does it really matter? Get
Speaker 5: a base head hit it the other way? But how
Speaker 5: about Tommy Edmonds bunt? How was that exit velocity? Probably
Speaker 5: not a lot. Did it make a difference in the game.
Speaker 1: Absolutely?
Speaker 5: Who gives a damn about exit velocity or launch angle.
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what, hit it out of the park?
Speaker 5: Launch angle's good hit a base hit to right field?
Speaker 5: Who cares about exit ve loo.
Speaker 1: Last night in the second inning, the Dodgers tacked on
Speaker 1: a run thanks to a show Hey o Tani Harbi
Speaker 1: single to right field and watching in the game on
Speaker 1: TV last night in the camera angle behind center field
Speaker 1: when Otani hit that cutter from Singa and it was
Speaker 1: a one hopper towards the right hand side of the field,
Speaker 1: I thought, oh, no ground out here. And when they
Speaker 1: show the different shot, it's a base hit between the
Speaker 1: three four and he hit it so hard that neither
Speaker 1: the diving first basement or the second baseman could even
Speaker 1: get close to it. If it's anybody else, one of
Speaker 1: those guys is probably getting to it. But the exit
Speaker 1: velo not to go exit velo on you here, but
Speaker 1: show hal Tony hits the ball so hard even on ground.
Speaker 5: Balls called top spin because he keeps his hands inside
Speaker 5: the ball, which creates great top spin when the ball
Speaker 5: hits the ground. When you hit the ball in the air,
Speaker 5: it creates what's called back spin, and that creates a
Speaker 5: lot of distance for the ball to carry. Listen, if
Speaker 5: I was in charge of teams, and I'm gonna get
Speaker 5: in trouble for saying this, but I'm gonna say it anyway.
Speaker 5: If I was in charge of teams, I'd get the
Speaker 5: hell rid of letting. Everybody knows what the velo is
Speaker 5: and the launching all it does is confused guys. I
Speaker 5: mean you watch guys in batting practice. Okay, every ball
Speaker 5: is hit in the air. You see I call the
Speaker 5: games here on the TV games at Sacramento. I go
Speaker 5: down there and spring down there in the batting practice
Speaker 5: and before the game, every ball is hit in the air.
Speaker 5: It comes off the bat and then whoop, there goes
Speaker 5: straight up in the air. How about hit the line
Speaker 5: drive with some topspin once in a while, you know,
Speaker 5: hit a line bullet one hopper on the back of
Speaker 5: the infield. Yeah, those things count.
Speaker 1: They do they do take advantage of it. Dodgers eight
Speaker 1: sixty six ninety seven two five say we'll come back, boy,
Speaker 1: of your phone calls. We may even check in with
Speaker 1: one of your former teammates from the nineteen eighty eight
Speaker 1: World Series team. That's all coming up as we lead
Speaker 1: you up to Game two of the NLCS Dodgers and
Speaker 1: Mets by here at NFI seventy LA Sports, Sax and
Speaker 1: Kates and AMMI seventy LA Sports. We got Game two
Speaker 1: of the NLCS coming up at one o'clock this afternoon,
Speaker 1: Dodgers up one to nothing to as best as seven
Speaker 1: National League Championship Series. In saxy, we went back down
Speaker 1: memory late last hour of the nineteen eighty eight NLCS
Speaker 1: Dodgers and Mets, and one of your teammates, one of
Speaker 1: the stunt men, one of the good guys, and a
Speaker 1: World Series champ, Mickey Hatcher now joins us here on
Speaker 1: a five to seventy LA sports hatch. Good morning, How
Speaker 1: you doing?
Speaker 6: I don't good. They just walked me up at the home,
Speaker 6: so I'm waiting for that right now.
Speaker 1: Well, glad you're up and here we are at LCS,
Speaker 1: just like nineteen eighty eight when you see Dodgers met
Speaker 1: here in twenty twenty four, how many good memories does
Speaker 1: it bring back of that eighty eight and LCS.
Speaker 6: Well, it's great mettory because they were such a powerhouse
Speaker 6: and we couldn't beat them all year, but we beat
Speaker 6: them when it counted, and it's a great series. I
Speaker 6: was at the game last night and it was a
Speaker 6: good game to watch and just see how the Dodgers
Speaker 6: are playing right now, and I think the big factor
Speaker 6: is just how that bullpen is pitching right now.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Mickey, good to be with you this morning. And
Speaker 5: I think it was pretty much the same sentiment that
Speaker 5: we had in eighty eight, is we had to let
Speaker 5: our arms carry us through. We didn't have the firepower
Speaker 5: the Mets had, but we had that phenomenal pitching staff
Speaker 5: and oral was fifty nine to two thirds of scoreless inning.
Speaker 5: So I mean, was it a blur or what?
Speaker 6: To me?
Speaker 5: It's just, of course we were riding the arms of
Speaker 5: the pitchers. But what a blur we're able to piece
Speaker 5: together and beat that big team in eighty eight.
Speaker 6: We did. We played baseball. We did it, playing hit
Speaker 6: and running and button and doing anything we can to
Speaker 6: try to score runs. The Dodgers are kind of playing
Speaker 6: like that right now. They're doing a good job of
Speaker 6: You see Lookie getting a little bit more base hits
Speaker 6: to the opposite way, and you see some of the
Speaker 6: guys bunning. You see him playing baseball, and I just
Speaker 6: think there's just so much confidence going on right now.
Speaker 6: And it has to do with the pitching staff. We
Speaker 6: knew all we had to do was manufacture a couple
Speaker 6: runs and our pitching was going to bring it home.
Speaker 6: And just to see the way this bullpen's going right now,
Speaker 6: and again it's the key to keep them starters in there,
Speaker 6: but to know that you can close games now, it's
Speaker 6: just making it so much easier for Roberts.
Speaker 1: You said to b word Mickey, and it's almost taboo
Speaker 1: nowadays bunting in baseball, hitting and running, moving guys over
Speaker 1: sacrificing yourself to move a guy into scoring position. The
Speaker 1: Dodgers were a team that didn't do it last couple
Speaker 1: of postseasons and it backfire. They got bounced in the
Speaker 1: NLDS and back to back years. And I don't think
Speaker 1: it's a coincidence here they are having success. Certainly the
Speaker 1: pitching's there, but moving guys over, getting guys on second
Speaker 1: and third for show, hal Tani and Mookie Betch there's
Speaker 1: something to this whole bunting and moving guys around.
Speaker 6: I think you're saying it happen in baseball now a
Speaker 6: lot you see happening, and especially playoff games and stuff.
Speaker 6: They know how important runs are and and and it's great.
Speaker 6: I mean, you're you're getting into series where you're playing
Speaker 6: with against the best pitchers in baseball. It's not You're
Speaker 6: not It's not going to be a home run game
Speaker 6: that's going to win it anymore. I think guys are
Speaker 6: starting to change a little bit of what the offensive
Speaker 6: needs to do during the season to get here.
Speaker 5: Mickey. The one thing I think is very apparent on
Speaker 5: this team is what we had on our team as
Speaker 5: well in eighty eight. You can't see it, you can't
Speaker 5: point to it, but you can certainly feel it. And
Speaker 5: that's that unity and togetherness that you have. The culture
Speaker 5: on the team. I mean speak a little bit to
Speaker 5: how far that can go for a club.
Speaker 6: Oh, there's a lot. I mean, their lineup, their chemistry,
Speaker 6: the type of players I have, you're seeing some of
Speaker 6: the not so what do you call it? Famous players
Speaker 6: like Key Keith coming through with some clutch hits. Some
Speaker 6: of the other guys just getting some clutch hits here
Speaker 6: and there, Hernandez just having an amazing year. There's just
Speaker 6: a lot of spark on that club that's coming from
Speaker 6: a lot of different players right now, Mickey.
Speaker 5: I want you to back me up on this thing.
Speaker 5: How About when Oral comes out and this is just
Speaker 5: kind of reflecting back to what we talked about earlier today.
Speaker 5: Oral comes out in the twelfth inning to save the
Speaker 5: game in New York. I mean he ran down there.
Speaker 5: From all things, I understand, without even Tommy Noen. Oral
Speaker 5: runs down there and tells Paranowski, Hey, I'm ready to
Speaker 5: go to shut down the twelfth inning and take this
Speaker 5: thing back to La. How about that when Orl was
Speaker 5: walking through the gates in the twelfth inning.
Speaker 6: Oh my god, I think all of us were in
Speaker 6: shock too, because we really didn't know what was going on.
Speaker 6: We were playing the game, and I guess Cres was
Speaker 6: a shock as anybody had. Calls the dougouts and says, hey,
Speaker 6: Orl's ready if you need them, and they're like, what
Speaker 6: are you talking about. He goes, Oh, the Oral said
Speaker 6: you sent me down here to get ready for the
Speaker 6: Night of the Twelfth Inning or whatever it was. We
Speaker 6: were in it and then all of a sudden, the
Speaker 6: gates open. We all turned and here comes our main
Speaker 6: man walking through the gates to come and save us
Speaker 6: and get us to the next series. And that was
Speaker 6: just an amazing moment.
Speaker 1: Micky, you mentioned you guys lost ten of eleven to
Speaker 1: this Mets team in nineteen eighty eight. During the regular season.
Speaker 1: They were dominant, They were the favorites going into the NLCS.
Speaker 1: Maybe they overlooked you guys initially, But the fact that
Speaker 1: you guys had the confidence to go in and get
Speaker 1: those wins in New York, win the series as you
Speaker 1: did to go to the World Series, what does it say.
Speaker 1: What kind of confidence did you guys have initially into
Speaker 1: that series and did it grow as the wind started
Speaker 1: to come for you guys in eighty eight.
Speaker 6: No, we just we just had the players. You know,
Speaker 6: you had Steve Saxey, you had you know, the Gibsons.
Speaker 6: We had guys like Mike Soci had guys that we
Speaker 6: didn't give up. We kept playing hard and we kept
Speaker 6: going after them hard, whether we had to go in
Speaker 6: to break up a double playing second base, or we
Speaker 6: hustled our butts off. We wanted to keep playing and
Speaker 6: play hard because that was how we did it. And
Speaker 6: you know, Gibby brought that on in spring training and
Speaker 6: we carried it on during the season, and I think
Speaker 6: after a while, you know, they might have took granted
Speaker 6: for granted for us for a couple of games, but
Speaker 6: we just were going away and we just came back
Speaker 6: and went It was a glorious victory.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt about it. Mickey. Great to hear from
Speaker 1: you this morning. The Dodgers and Mets brings back all
Speaker 1: these memories from nineteen eighty eight in the series you
Speaker 1: guys had and beating them like you did back in
Speaker 1: eighty eight. We appreciate you jumping on this morning.
Speaker 5: Yeah, thanks, Mickey.
Speaker 6: That's a long time ago. Now gotta go back and
Speaker 6: they got to wheel me back in my room. Mickey.
Speaker 5: What's what's for dinner tonight? It's the soft jellow and
Speaker 5: oatmeal tonight. What is it?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 9: Yeah, thanks Mick.
Speaker 6: The only thing I could digest.
Speaker 1: Now, there he goes the great Mickey Hatcher saxy real quick.
Speaker 1: It's an easy key to game too, tonight, Ryan, easy.
Speaker 5: Key easy key is just keep what you're doing. Hey,
Speaker 5: if you can ride this pony, about hitting the ball
Speaker 5: the other way, button and doing some small ball. We
Speaker 5: know the home runs are coming. Brother, Just keep doing
Speaker 5: what you're doing right now.
Speaker 1: Simple key, Just keep doing what you're doing. I love it.
Speaker 1: He is Steve Sas. Thanks to Katie, thanks to Michelle,
