It has 27 00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:37.040 finally hit me that it is Dodgers Yankees. We've been 28 00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:40.519 waiting for it for years. This season it was anticipated 29 00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:43.040 these two teams would make it to the World Series. 30 00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:46.920 Here we are Media Day yesterday, all the talk leading 31 00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:48.680 up to it, We've had a week to get ready 32 00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:51.040 for it. We've talked about the nineteen eighty one team 33 00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:53.799 and the series beating the Yankees back then forty three 34 00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:57.439 years ago.

And we're 38 00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:08.639 going to see it on an unbelievably monstrous stage. It's 39 00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:11.400 going to be global and it's gonna be amazing. By 40 00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:13.120 the way, were you at Media Day? 41 00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:19.280 I went early to Dodger Stadium yesterday before Media Day started, 42 00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:22.240 which was in the early afternoon after the show yesterday, 43 00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:24.400 I had some stuff to do around here, and then 44 00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:26.639 I went over to Dodger Stadium to pick up my 45 00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:30.400 World Series credential from the Media Will Call. And I 46 00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:32.639 got to Dodger Stadium, said hi to the guys at 47 00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:34.840 the booth as I waved my and waived and went 48 00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:37.080 by to get my media credential up in Lot B, 49 00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:40.360 where I usually parked the media parking area, and it 50 00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:40.840 was full. 51 00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:41.479 Wow. 52 00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:44.919 And I looked at Lot D and it was pretty 53 00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:45.439 much full. 54 00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:45.960 Wow. 55 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:49.080 So I had to park in Lot F, which is 56 00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:51.400 a gigantic parking lot, but it was already about a 57 00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:53.599 couple hundred cars there as the media was coming in, 58 00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:56.039 and right away I knew at that point this place 59 00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:58.520 is going to be bananas. So I just went to 60 00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:01.360 the Media will Call on the reserve level and went 61 00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:04.400 and saw Ali from the Dodgers and got my credential 62 00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:07.280 from there. And when I was there, there was probably 63 00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.680 about I don't know, twenty to thirty five forty members 64 00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:13.439 of the media waiting to get their credentials. Others had 65 00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:15.919 already got them, waiting to go in, filing in through 66 00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:18.439 different doors. It was already starting to get crowded. And 67 00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:21.159 then when I saw the media day start yesterday and 68 00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:24.240 talk to David Vasse, he said, Yeah, this is a 69 00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:26.479 world series like we've never seen before. He says. The 70 00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:28.960 media were running when they opened up the gates to 71 00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:32.319 the center field plaza, Saxi media members with stools to 72 00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:34.919 get a higher vantage point with the cameras were running 73 00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:38.879 what to get to different podiums, mostly show Aotani, Aaron 74 00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:41.960 Judge and the big boys right to get good positions 75 00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:45.439 so they can film and video at their different positions 76 00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:48.919 and podiums. It was unbelievable how many credentials were given out. 77 00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:50.639 Do you think I'm just kind of trying to get 78 00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:54.039 a breadth of how many people were looking at hundreds 79 00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:57.439 hundreds I mean, And to put it this way, we 80 00:03:57.560 --> 00:03:59.400 go out there a lot during the season. I do 81 00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:02.400 the pre and pos came out there probably twenty times, 82 00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:04.120 maybe a little bit more. So I'm out there a 83 00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:06.400 quarter of the time for home games alone. And you 84 00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:08.639 see the same media members. You see this the local 85 00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:12.240 sports guys on TV and gals and the camera guys, 86 00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:15.599 and you see the beat riders and the columnists, the 87 00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.040 Bill Plaski's of the world. Bill Plunkett, who covers for 88 00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:20.240 the Orange County Register. All these guys who are out 89 00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:22.439 there and you see him all the time. When you 90 00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:24.519 get to the playoffs, you start seeing some of the 91 00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:27.040 more TV people you don't usually see. They start showing up. 92 00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:30.000 And now the World Series. You've got the local morning 93 00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:34.040 show reporter who yesterday is covering a car crash and 94 00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:37.160 today she's covering the World Series. Tomorrow she's covering a 95 00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:39.519 brush fire. You know, she's just out there because it's 96 00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:41.439 the biggest news story of the day, and she's going 97 00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:45.639 to be doing a live shot this morning on Channel two, four, five, seven, nine, eleven, 98 00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:48.480 thirteen Mlbay. All those people are going to be out there, 99 00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:50.519 and they were out there yesterday a getting their credentials. 100 00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:55.000 So you're getting mass news outlets covering this thing. Not 101 00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:57.279 just sports, it's now news outlets. 102 00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:00.600 Yeah, and you know, the players from their perspective, they 103 00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:05.399 are sitting there waking up this morning thinking finally, yeah, 104 00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:07.800 it's here, you know, and I can relax. They can 105 00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:10.959 actually relax now a little bit because they're gonna feel 106 00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:14.040 most comfortable when they're at the ballpark. They're away from 107 00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:16.519 the press. They don't have you know, those duties that 108 00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:20.120 they have to go through to you know, satiate everybody 109 00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:21.839 in the press. They don't have to do that now 110 00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:23.560 they can just go play baseball and then you know, 111 00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:25.439 take care of business after the game with the press. 112 00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:28.399 But for right now, they are really liking where they are. 113 00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:31.759 They're zoning in. I think, you know a lot of 114 00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:35.759 those you know, a lot of the butterflies are probably 115 00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:37.920 going to start to subside when they get to the park. 116 00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:42.199 Once the first innings underway, the butterflies kind of go away. 117 00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:44.560 It's just like another game for them because this is 118 00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:46.720 all they do. They played one sixty two, they played 119 00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:50.240 another thirty and springs training and believe me, when they're 120 00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:52.800 getting up close to two hundred games, this I don't 121 00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:54.680 care if it's the World Series. It's a you know, 122 00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:57.959 it's another work day. All the butterflies and all that 123 00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:01.439 stuff is you know, yesterday today, But once they get 124 00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:03.199 to the ballpark, it's regular mode. 125 00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:05.639 I was watching some of the Media Day on MLB 126 00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:08.519 Network yesterday as they popped around to different podiums and 127 00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:12.079 talk to players and the superstars, to the Brent Honeywells 128 00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:15.120 of the world, to the Luke Weavers of the Yankees 129 00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:18.680 and everybody in between. And some of the Dodger players, 130 00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:21.319 you know, they've been through this, so they weren't even 131 00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:23.439 faced and you can see the media the attention. They 132 00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:25.879 weren't all wide eyed and like, oh my gosh, what 133 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:28.839 is going on. But some of the Yankee players and 134 00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:32.800 watching them their faces was like, my gosh, this is 135 00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:34.839 this is bigger than what we even have to deal 136 00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:38.360 with as a Yankee in New York. So I'm curious 137 00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:41.519 to see how they deal with the attention. And just 138 00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:45.000 to follow this all up, tonight in Southern California, they're 139 00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:49.519 expecting gridlock in Southern California in the downtown area the 140 00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:52.439 West Side because this reason saxy. You've got the Dodger 141 00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:55.879 game at five o'clock. You've got a USC Rutgers football 142 00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:59.480 game at the Coliseum kicking off at six o'clock.

This is right, nuts, Yeah, 156 00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:39.000 I mean, Uber's gonna love it. Right, They're gonna be cashing. 157 00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:42.439 Their prices are gonna skyrocket. Oh yeah, this is gonna 158 00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:45.000 be something. But yeah, I mean all these things scheduled 159 00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:46.759 at the same time. That's a good point. I mean 160 00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:48.319 you better get there early. You know, if you got 161 00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:50.879 a ticket to the game five o eight start that 162 00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:53.040 it'd be showing up at about two thirty or three. 163 00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:55.639 I'm watching the local news here, flipping around Channel seven 164 00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:59.199 expect gridlock. Channel eleven. They got some local reporter standing 165 00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:02.480 on the field the dirt at Dodger Stadium with his 166 00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:04.959 brand new Dodger jersey on and brand new Dodger had 167 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:06.879 and a hot dog in his hand, talking about the 168 00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:09.480 great experience at Dodger Stadium, probably that guy's first time 169 00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:11.439 at a Dodger game. So that's what you're kind of 170 00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:15.199 dealing with right now. The magnitude here in Los Angeles 171 00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:19.759 is off the charts globally. It is just bonkers right now. 172 00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:22.399 To see the amount of international media that I saw 173 00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:26.000 yesterday in my half an hour at Dodger Stadium, Saxe. 174 00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:28.439 Had to be a monboli from Japan. 175 00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:32.639 Unbelievable. Yeah, Like, it was unreal the amount of Japanese 176 00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:35.320 media there. And then on top of that, there was 177 00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:38.080 a tour bus that was parked up in Lot D 178 00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:41.039 going to the souvenir stand and getting ready to do 179 00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:44.279 a tour there that had a busload of look like 180 00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:47.720 Japanese tourists that were there at Dodger Stadium. It was 181 00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:52.279 it was a busy Thursday mid morning at Dodger Stadium 182 00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:55.639 just yesterday alone.

I mean, I 185 00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:04.759 woke up this morning, walked outside and it just felt different, Saxe. 186 00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:06.799 I don't know if it's because the weather's changing a 187 00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:09.360 little bit. It's getting a little cooler, it just felt 188 00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:12.559 different today with this game one of the World Series. 189 00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:14.519 So it's I know it what a you know, kind 190 00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:16.559 of a worry where you are about this, But you 191 00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:19.320 have to be in heaven, you know. I don't want 192 00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:21.440 to say it either way because you know, there's only 193 00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:23.000 one thing left to do, and that's to win the 194 00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:27.840 World Series. But from your standpoint, you're you're there and 195 00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:29.480 that's the one thing that you wanted to do. You 196 00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:31.440 take care of business once you get there. But the 197 00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:32.360 Dodgers are there now. 198 00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:35.879 Yeah, and for a lot of these guys, they're not 199 00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:36.840 just happy being here. 200 00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:37.559 You know. 201 00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:39.960 Some of the Yankee players and like I said, their 202 00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:42.360 faces were kind of like, wow, what's going on and 203 00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:44.320 you know, kind of had that Well, we're here in 204 00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:47.720 the moment.

He feels no pressure at all, 211 00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:08.360 and yet he keeps getting peppered with these questions yesterday 212 00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:11.320 about what's it like playing against Judge and Stanton, what's 213 00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:14.039 it like being on this stage? What's it like having 214 00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:16.080 Marcus Stroman on the other side, a guy who says 215 00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:18.039 he looks up to you. What's it like to be 216 00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:20.879 on this the magnitude of Dodgers, Yankees and all the 217 00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:23.039 eyeballs are gonna be on you, And he said all 218 00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:25.120 the right things.

Yeah really, I 225 00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:43.840 don't know how they do that. In twenty minutes, you're 226 00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:46.519 gonna be in the square and a guy is gonna 227 00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:50.000 try to rip your head off and you're taking a nap. 228 00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:53.679 I mean that's pretty comfortable if you ask me.

Hey 330 00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:28.559 Otani could he pitch in the World Series? Will there 331 00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:31.039 be an opportunity for him to come out and pitch 332 00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:33.440 out of the bullpen, pitch and relief in some capacity. 333 00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:37.279 And here it was Dave Roberts asked a question yesterday. 334 00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:40.080 It's my turn to ask the annoying question, is there 335 00:15:40.200 --> 00:15:42.639 any possibility of show Heyo Tani pitching for you in 336 00:15:42.679 --> 00:15:43.399 the World Series? 337 00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:46.720 There is no possibility? All that none was sir, Thank 338 00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:47.360 you for asking. 339 00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:51.480 So there we go. That's that he said, no, there's 340 00:15:51.559 --> 00:15:52.519 no possibility. 341 00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:54.960 And now I was I was one team one of 342 00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:59.960 these journalists to say, is that like no, no or 343 00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:03.639 kind of no? What do you mean by what do 344 00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:05.519 you mean exactly by no? 345 00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:08.480 Is that a firm no, soft? 346 00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:12.679 Yeah? Or do you you know? So I don't know. 347 00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:17.320 I still think that there's a scant possibility. I mean, 348 00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:20.919 it's be so rare. It would have to be. Uh, 349 00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:22.759 the stars would have to line up and they would 350 00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:25.720 need one out and they just don't have anybody. It's 351 00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:29.200 the fourteenth inning and it's either him with one batter 352 00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:31.840 or you're gonna throw Tommy Edman up there and hope 353 00:16:31.879 --> 00:16:34.399 they hit it at somebody. That's it. That's the only 354 00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:37.120 way and then maybe you'd see him come in. But 355 00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:40.120 if he blows his arm out. They'll they'll they'll skin 356 00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:43.279 Dave Roberts and and the whole front office. 357 00:16:43.559 --> 00:16:47.039 I'm holding out hope in that show, Hay goes to 358 00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:49.039 them and says, I want to in. 359 00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:51.759 Yeah, let me pitch, come down and watch me in 360 00:16:51.799 --> 00:16:53.840 a bullpen. Yeah, and then tell me I can't. 361 00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:56.720 And I think he's gonna have to show them, yeah, 362 00:16:56.759 --> 00:16:59.200 like you said, in a bullpen session. And hopefully it's 363 00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:02.799 before the media gets there early, early, early in the day, 364 00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:05.960 so nobody knows and there's not an inkling that oh 365 00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:08.960 there's a possibility now and it can get out there 366 00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:11.640 and leaked. He's got to prove to them. I'm sure 367 00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:13.400 that he's good to go to throw at least maybe 368 00:17:13.480 --> 00:17:18.079 fifteen twenty pitches. And if that's the case, then then 369 00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:19.599 maybe we see him come out of the both. 370 00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:22.640 That's the only way, tim It couldn't be like we're 371 00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:25.799 you know, it's a it's an eight to three Dodger lead, 372 00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:28.279 and we're gonna bring in show hey, just to show him, well, 373 00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:31.079 you know one more out. No, that's not gonna happen. 374 00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:33.480 I mean I think it like the example I met 375 00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:35.200 I I just put out there, it would have to 376 00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:39.400 be thirteenth inning. There's absolutely nobody left to pitch, and uh, 377 00:17:39.480 --> 00:17:42.519 you know it's him or Tommy Edmond to throw to 378 00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:45.559 one batter. You know the game's on the line. So 379 00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:47.359 that's that's maybe the only way. 380 00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:51.400 Yeah, fingers crossed. There's a chance. But Dave Roberts squashing 381 00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:55.839 it yesterday at media day. But you're staying there's a chance. 382 00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:58.960 You're saying there's yeah, we'll. 383 00:17:58.200 --> 00:18:00.880 See eight six six, nine eighty seven, two five seventy 384 00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:02.279 is our phone number.
