Speaker 2: The entire game. Dodgers Stadium was electric. Yoshinobu Yamamoto got

Speaker 2: three first inning. He worked out of a two out
Speaker 2: walk in the second. The Dodgers offense knew it was
Speaker 2: gonna have its hands fulls with you Darvish on the

Speaker 2: another zero in the fifth, Yamamoto gave way to the
Speaker 2: Dodgers' bullpen. They came in and dominated Evan Phillips and
Speaker 2: inning in the two thirds. Alex Vessi had got the
Speaker 2: final out of the seventh. In the bottom of the seventh,
Speaker 2: the Dodgers tacked onto their lead thanks to Taoscar Hernandez

Speaker 4: To one pitch, Hernandez place is on.

Speaker 4: To back games.
Speaker 5: They are going to the National League Championship Series.
Speaker 3: Dodgers win.
Speaker 2: They beat the Padres two to nine to win Game
Speaker 2: five of the NLDS. They advanced to the National League
Speaker 2: Championship Series, and that's where we're at now, Game one
Speaker 2: from Dodgers Stadium to night Dodgers and New York Mets.
Speaker 2: Jack Flaherty code I singer the pitching matchup in the
Speaker 2: series opener. First pitch set for five point fifteen and
Speaker 2: with more we head out to the Galpin Motors broadcast
Speaker 2: booth as we welcome in Steven Nelson and Rick Monday.
Speaker 7: Guys, Tim Kats, it's great to be with you again.
Speaker 7: The Dodgers stave off elimination twice against San Diego and
Speaker 7: move on to the Championship Series for the sixth time
Speaker 7: the last nine years. Rick Monday and we were talking
Speaker 7: as it came into the booth today. There's just a
Speaker 7: different feeling emotionally internally getting ready for a Game one
Speaker 7: as opposed to a winner go home Game four or
Speaker 7: winner take called Game five. But make no mistake, I
Speaker 7: mean this is the big This is a much bigger
Speaker 7: stage because the pennant is on the line year between
Speaker 7: the Dodgers and Mets.
Speaker 4: Steve and I think you hit upon a good point
Speaker 4: because from a player standpoint, you have to at least
Speaker 4: imagine in your mind that this Game seven of this series,
Speaker 4: not in Game one. You know, this is this is
Speaker 4: four out of seven, and you have to realize is
Speaker 4: that now it's magnified even more. The fewer mistakes, the
Speaker 4: better chance your team has to win a ball game.
Speaker 4: And how important is it to win game one? Well,
Speaker 4: you know we sow in this series against the Punders. Okay,
Speaker 4: the Dodgers won the first game, and say, well, the
Speaker 4: odds are when they win the first game of the
Speaker 4: best of five, the number one they are. And then
Speaker 4: San Diego won the next one. Well, now the odds
Speaker 4: change and because they're going back. Well, yeah, you can
Speaker 4: make everything that you want. As far as the numbers,
Speaker 4: the biggest number is is that these two ball clubs,
Speaker 4: the Dodgers on the third base side the Mets on
Speaker 4: the first base side, have earned the spots to be here,
Speaker 4: and one of these two teams. Let's put it in perspective,
Speaker 4: this isn't just a National championship series. This is a
Speaker 4: series to see who goes to the World Series. But
Speaker 4: you can't look to the World Series unless you win
Speaker 4: this one.
Speaker 7: So the Dodgers and Mets played six times during the year.
Speaker 7: The Dodgers won four of those six meetings. But as
Speaker 7: we talked about during the postgame show after the clincher
Speaker 7: the other night, Moll, you throw all of that homework
Speaker 7: out of the window. This is a totally different team
Speaker 7: that the Dodgers are facing. Since they left New York
Speaker 7: at the end of May, the Mets have been the
Speaker 7: best team in Major League Baseball. They are playing with
Speaker 7: some kind of magic, which is very weird because you know,
Speaker 7: you think Mets, you think cursed. Do you think how
Speaker 7: the fans are always waiting for something bad to happen. Well,
Speaker 7: it's been a lot of good things happening in clutch
Speaker 7: situations late for them, going back to Game one sixty
Speaker 7: one and Game one sixty two and then all the
Speaker 7: way through the first two rounds.
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely a totally different team. In fact, if we
Speaker 4: go back on the twenty ninth of May, the Dodgers
Speaker 4: finished the sweep of that series in New York. After
Speaker 4: the ball game, you might remember Lopez, their pitcher, He
Speaker 4: fired the glove into the stands as he was leaving
Speaker 4: the mound in frustration. At that point, on the twenty
Speaker 4: ninth of May, the New York Mets were eleven games
Speaker 4: out of first place. That was that team this Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: so I mean it's just one of those areas. This
Speaker 4: is a better team. They're playing better baseball and they
Speaker 4: come in. I mean, they're firing on all cylinders and
Speaker 4: they believe in themselves right now.
Speaker 7: So it'll be Jack Flaherty against Kodai Senga. The right
Speaker 7: hander who's their best pitcher last year, has been injured
Speaker 7: a ton this year. He's not fully stretched out, So
Speaker 7: the Mets are hoping for three to four innings from
Speaker 7: Senga before they go to a bulk guy Allah, the
Speaker 7: lefty David Peterson or the big right hander TYLRD McGill.
Speaker 7: But a lot of focus on the hometown kid, Jack Flerty.
Speaker 7: We'll talk more about him next time we chat with
Speaker 7: the TC.
Speaker 2: All right, thank you, Nelly, counting you down to first pitch.
Speaker 2: Dodger fans, get that game day meal on It's shake

Speaker 2: in with our Dodger insider David Vasse. He'll go one
Speaker 2: on one with Blake Tron and we'll dive deeper into
Speaker 2: this pitching matchup. But up next you're Otani rewind and
Speaker 2: we'll visit with Sports Net LA's Kirston Watson. We're leaning
Speaker 2: up to Game one of the NLCS Dodgers and New
Speaker 2: York Mets. I'm Tim Kates, Thanks for being with us.
Speaker 2: This is Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: Is Lorongo Casino, Dodgers on Dodgers on deck, y'all on

Speaker 2: Stadium is coming up at five point fifteen.
Speaker 1: This is the Otani rewind Well.

Speaker 2: five of the n l d S two Nothing the
Speaker 2: final show. Hey Otani, all eyes were on him every
Speaker 2: single at bat. He went oh for four, three strikeouts,
Speaker 2: but the Dodgers get the win. In Game five against
Speaker 2: San Diego, Tani and that nl d S four for
Speaker 2: twenty with a home run and four Ribby's Otani Rewind

Speaker 3: That's it t O e N dot Com.
Speaker 1: This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston Watson.
Speaker 2: And Kirston now joins us from Dodgers Stadium. Is we
Speaker 2: are leading you up to Game one of this NLCS
Speaker 2: and Kirston as we get ready for this opening game
Speaker 2: of this series. It's been forty eight hours since that
Speaker 2: emotional game five n l DS win over the Padres.
Speaker 3: It was a long.
Speaker 2: Series, it was an emotional series. How does this Dodgers
Speaker 2: team avoid the L word?
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, you know, that's the biggest thing. And they
Speaker 8: have to kind of keep their foot on the gas.
Speaker 8: And that's been what the biggest conversation has been amongst
Speaker 8: whether it's Dave robertson some of the players, whether it's
Speaker 8: the players amongst each other. I think Max Unsei when
Speaker 8: he spoke to the media, he said that is.
Speaker 1: What their biggest focus.
Speaker 8: If you go back to twenty twenty one, they beat
Speaker 8: the Giants in five games, and they went on to
Speaker 8: Atlanta to play them in the NLCS. And yes, while
Speaker 8: Max was hurt, that was the year that he had
Speaker 8: blown out his elbow on the final game of the
Speaker 8: regular season, so he was watching from the dugout, but
Speaker 8: he was saying, the biggest thing, he realizes it just
Speaker 8: was kind of like, you know, they kind of took
Speaker 8: a step back in regard not that's why I like
Speaker 8: their mindset and approach, but just the emotions of it. Everything.
Speaker 8: They put everything into that DS series that it kind
Speaker 8: of was lacking in the Championship series. So the hope
Speaker 8: is to do the opposite of that, to kind of
Speaker 8: go in full throttle ahead. From talking to a few
Speaker 8: of the guys, they are they're ready to go, And
Speaker 8: I mean potentially they have the advantage of they just
Speaker 8: like you said, forty eight hours ago, they were playing
Speaker 8: in a baseball game. They had practiced yesterday, and they're
Speaker 8: back here today. They're in routine, the offense has gotten going,
Speaker 8: so hopefully they can use that to their advantage. But
Speaker 8: that is the biggest thing. It's just not having an
Speaker 8: area for a letdown, just to keep it going. Foot
Speaker 8: on the gas, full throttle ahead.
Speaker 3: Kirsten is brought to by Cars for Kids.
Speaker 2: The easiest way to get rid of your old car,
Speaker 2: donate it today in your car can be picked up tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Is that easy?
Speaker 2: Donate now Carsfourkids dot Org. That's Cars with the K
Speaker 2: Freddie Freeman the ankle. How's it going into this opening
Speaker 2: game of this series?
Speaker 8: Yeah, he's out there tonight. We saw him out on
Speaker 8: the field doing some pregame work. Seems to be moving
Speaker 8: pretty well. The biggest thing for him is just what
Speaker 8: is it gonna look like in this series? Considering Okay, today,
Speaker 8: tonight's a night game, tomorrow's a day game. Then you're
Speaker 8: gonna go on the road for three street Like, is
Speaker 8: he gonna be able to post for every single day?
Speaker 8: They're gonna see you and they're gonna take it day
Speaker 8: by day with how he feels. Obviously they now are
Speaker 8: they have this options to move some guys around, which
Speaker 8: you've been seen in the first in the Division series,
Speaker 8: So that's what they're gonna be. The approaches is if
Speaker 8: he's out there amazing. If they can get him out there,
Speaker 8: they're gonna hope too the planets can get him out
Speaker 8: there for every game. But It really just depends on
Speaker 8: how his ankle is feeling. But Dave did say that
Speaker 8: it has been feeling progressively better, which is a good sign.
Speaker 2: Yeah, every day is a day farther away from what
Speaker 2: initially heard it and day to get better as the
Speaker 2: Dodgers continue to move forward. Kirston, we appreciate it. We
Speaker 2: will check in with you after the game. Still to come.
Speaker 2: Here on Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck, we'll dive deeper
Speaker 2: into this Game one pitching matchup. David vat Say goes
Speaker 2: one on one with Blake Try and he closed it
Speaker 2: out on Friday night against the Padres. But up next
Speaker 2: we're gonna hear from the manager himself, Dave Roberts.
Speaker 3: Get his Game one thoughts.
Speaker 2: As we lead you up to Dodgers and Mets Game
Speaker 2: one of the National League Championship Series first pitch at
Speaker 2: five point fifteen, I'm Tim Katson. This is Los Angeles
Speaker 2: Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: Well, this is Morongo Casino Dodgers Hunters game on your
Speaker 1: home for La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck continues on the Sunday nine.
Speaker 2: As we lead you up to first pitch from Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 2: It's the Dodgers in New York Mets, Game one of
Speaker 2: the National League Championship Series. Marengo Casino Resort and spa
Speaker 2: a Grand Slam for good times. Jack Flaherty goes for
Speaker 2: the Dodgers code. I singa on the mound for the
Speaker 2: Mets first pitch coming up at five point fifteen. Let's
Speaker 2: head back out to Dodger Stadium now and check in
Speaker 2: with the Dodgers skipper.
Speaker 9: Anything else with Dave?
Speaker 3: Do you think the questions for Dave?
Speaker 4: Dave? Can you just describe Dave?
Speaker 9: Can you talk about the pressure in.
Speaker 3: The dugouts with Dave Roberts.
Speaker 10: When you switch from one series to the next this quick?
Speaker 10: Did you spend more hours in the last twenty four
Speaker 10: in meetings or sleeping?
Speaker 11: Combo? Certainly a combo, you know, it's one of those
Speaker 11: things that you relish, the idea of not sleeping a
Speaker 11: whole bunch because you have an opportunity to continue to
Speaker 11: play on. But I'm fortunate that I've got a great
Speaker 11: group of people around me as far as on the pitching,
Speaker 11: run prevention side, the hitting side. The front office is
Speaker 11: grinding to kind of make sure everyone's on the same page,
Speaker 11: so I do make sure I get my rest. Though.
Speaker 10: Does this feel similar to twenty one when you guys
Speaker 10: went from the Giant series to Atlanta? Like obviously the
Speaker 10: travel components out of it, But is there anything you
Speaker 10: learned from that experience that kind of applies to this week.
Speaker 11: That's a fair question.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 11: I think that with all things, you learn from past experiences,
Speaker 11: and I think the takeaway is you can't let down
Speaker 11: your guard or get off the gas. It was an exhausted,
Speaker 11: exhausting series going back to twenty one to kind of
Speaker 11: beat the Giants and then to get on and play
Speaker 11: on against the Braves, and so I don't really know
Speaker 11: where my our headspace is at at that point in time,
Speaker 11: but I do know that we've got to push on
Speaker 11: and keep the momentum, play with that same urgency and
Speaker 11: get caught up in It's a seven game series like
Speaker 11: that just can't happen. So I think that that's one
Speaker 11: thing that we're very mindful of. What a Bill Thirder
Speaker 11: in the middle.
Speaker 12: Dave Walker Bueller has not been in today, so I
Speaker 12: take that as a sign he's not pitched until Game
Speaker 12: three and tomorrow will be a bullpen game, Am I wrong?
Speaker 11: Well, that's that's a good thought. That is a possibility.
Speaker 11: I think for us is we're just kind of honestly,
Speaker 11: we're trying to figure out the best way to win tonight,
Speaker 11: and I do feel that after tonight it will open
Speaker 11: things up as far as Game two, in game three,
Speaker 11: you know, if tonight ends up being an exhaustive bullpen game,
Speaker 11: then that could change things. If it goes the way
Speaker 11: we expect, then maybe your thought becomes comes to pass.
Speaker 11: So we'll see.
Speaker 12: And how difficult were the roster decisions with Miguel and
Speaker 12: Bessie was pretty easy.
Speaker 11: We just didn't feel it is even a possibility for
Speaker 11: Alex to pitch this series. I think he's still in
Speaker 11: play if we are fortunate enough to get to the
Speaker 11: World Series. With Mickey, it was tougher, I think in
Speaker 11: the sense of he's obviously a huge part of our
Speaker 11: ball club. He's playable, But I think we just as
Speaker 11: an organization felt that what he brings to the table
Speaker 11: as far as elite shortstop defense, we just feel right now,
Speaker 11: physically he's a little bit more compromised that that can't
Speaker 11: be brought to the table.
Speaker 2: All right, there's Dave Roberts down the dugout pregame before
Speaker 2: Game one of this NLCS, brought you by Service Titan.
Speaker 2: Dave Roberts wins in the playoffs by being ready for anything.
Speaker 2: If you want your contracting business to succeed, you need
Speaker 2: to be ready to Let's Service Titan help you be prepared.
Speaker 2: Service Titans dot Com. When we continue here on Dodgers
Speaker 2: on Deck, we will check again with David Vasse as
Speaker 2: we're leading you up to first pitch from the Ravine
Speaker 2: Dodgers and Mets Game one of the NLCS. I'm Tim kateson.
Speaker 2: This is Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino, Dodgers on TACH on your Home
Speaker 1: for the Blue all season long.
Speaker 2: It's the Dodgers and Mets Game one of the NLCS.
Speaker 3: From Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 2: Jack Flaherty on the mound Code I Singa goes for
Speaker 2: New York.
Speaker 3: First pitch coming up at five point fifteen.
Speaker 1: Joining Tim Kates on Dodgers on Tex. I accept everybody
Speaker 1: for who they are. This is Dodger insider David Basse.
Speaker 2: And David Vassa now joins us from the stadium. David
Speaker 2: this stadium are ready to erupt yet again after the
Speaker 2: Game five NLDS on Friday night, a big crowd expected.
Speaker 3: But before we.
Speaker 2: Get to the setting here of this Game one, the
Speaker 2: Dodgers doing a little roster shuffling for this Championship series.
Speaker 13: Yeah, and it's not because they're looking for a matchup advantage.
Speaker 13: It's injury related. Miguel Rojas, who obviously was dealing with
Speaker 13: a left adductor groin issue for the second half of
Speaker 13: the season, is off the NLCS roster and he's been
Speaker 13: replaced by veteran outfielder Kevin Kirmeyer. He'll be a left
Speaker 13: handed bat for the Dodgers coming off the bench, and
Speaker 13: also possibly a defensive replacement in center field lad in games. Kermeyer,
Speaker 13: as you know, has already decided to retire at the
Speaker 13: end of this season, whenever that may be, so I
Speaker 13: know he's relishing this opportunity to be part of the
Speaker 13: NLCS roster.
Speaker 9: As far as.
Speaker 13: Alex Vesia goes, he also is off the NLCS roster,
Speaker 13: and I'm not sure if he'll be able to be
Speaker 13: on the World Series roster if the Dodgers make it.
Speaker 13: Tim you remember in Game five of the NLDS, he
Speaker 13: was able to get his outs in the seventh inning,
Speaker 13: and then the Dodgers asked him to come back out
Speaker 13: for the eighth inning, which is not unusual, But as
Speaker 13: he was warming up for that eighth inning, he felt
Speaker 13: something on his right intercostal area.
Speaker 9: It turns out it's a strain.
Speaker 13: So Alex Vesia is out for the NLCS and the
Speaker 13: Dodgers have added Kenny Powers aka Brent Honeywell to their
Speaker 13: NLCS bullpen, and Honeywell served a purpose for the Dodgers
Speaker 13: in the regular season. He was staying ready. We'll see
Speaker 13: how the Dodgers use him if they need to use him. Obviously,
Speaker 13: there is going to be a bullpen game during part
Speaker 13: of this NLCS, whether it's one game or two games.
Speaker 9: You would imagine Landonnak.
Speaker 13: And Brent Honeywell would be able to be part of
Speaker 13: that bullpen or two bullpen games. So he adds length
Speaker 13: to that Dodger bullpen in a seven game series.
Speaker 3: David has driven by four.
Speaker 2: If there's one thing we like its choices, find yours
Speaker 2: with the four f one to fifty gas hybrid all
Speaker 2: electric tough this mark, it'd only be called f one
Speaker 2: fifty all right. This matchup against the Mets, who struggled
Speaker 2: during the regular season, got hot in September. David, what
Speaker 2: do we expect from this Mets team in this series?
Speaker 13: Well, I reached out to a couple of managers that
Speaker 13: saw the Mets while they were riding this magic carpet ride,
Speaker 13: and they said, the biggest reason why the Mets are
Speaker 13: here in the NLCS is because they have taken veteran
Speaker 13: like at bats, and of course it's led by their
Speaker 13: shortstop and MVP candidate Francisco Lindor, who really propelled them
Speaker 13: not only during the second half of the season, but
Speaker 13: also in this postseason. Remember the Mets started their October
Speaker 13: run playing a double header for one hundred and sixty
Speaker 13: two game season in Atlanta, and from there went to
Speaker 13: Milwaukee and then from there went to Philadelphia. So the
Speaker 13: only time they've been in their own beds is during
Speaker 13: this period of time they've been waiting for the NLCS
Speaker 13: to begin. But really it goes back to veteran quality
Speaker 13: at bats, which has given them opportunities to come up
Speaker 13: with some timely hitting. Today it's going to be Jesse Winker,
Speaker 13: who has come up big for the Mets as their
Speaker 13: DH JD Martinez, the former Dodger, has been struggling. He
Speaker 13: will be on the bench, and I'm not sure how
Speaker 13: many times we'll see JD. Because there aren't too many
Speaker 13: lefties in this Dodger rotation and certainly not in that bullpen.
Speaker 2: Dave, how does this Dodger team not have an emotional
Speaker 2: letdown forty eight hours ago, the emotional win against the
Speaker 2: Padres in Game five and then come back and play
Speaker 2: a series opener tonight.
Speaker 13: Well, we saw it in twenty one, right after the
Speaker 13: Dodgers played a five game series, beat the Giants in
Speaker 13: a very emotionally charged series similar to the one they
Speaker 13: just finished with the Padres, and next months, he was
Speaker 13: in the interview room earlier today and talked about how
Speaker 13: the Dodgers have to fight an emotional letdown.
Speaker 6: You know, I think the first thing is we got
Speaker 6: to keep our fire and our intensity from the last series.
Speaker 6: You know, that is something that I've seen in the
Speaker 6: past where we've won a big series and then you
Speaker 6: move on to the next one and you almost kind
Speaker 6: of let your guard down a little bit. And so
Speaker 6: the biggest thing for us immediately is we got to
Speaker 6: keep our fire in intensity.
Speaker 13: Look, this is the NLCS. There's a lot of guys
Speaker 13: on this team that really fought in that NLDS to
Speaker 13: be able to propel the Dodgers to this point. So
Speaker 13: I don't see an emotional letdown. Too many guys getting
Speaker 13: their first taste of this with the Dodgers, including sho
Speaker 13: hey Otani and taoscar Hernandez.
Speaker 2: I know the Dodgers are ready to go and the
Speaker 2: crowd is ready to go as well. DV appreciate it.
Speaker 2: We'll check back with you in just a couple of minutes.
Speaker 2: Coming up here on Dodgers on Deck, you'll go one
Speaker 2: on one with Blake trying it. We'll dive deeper into
Speaker 2: this pitching matchup. But up next your Dodgers magical moment.
Speaker 2: It's the Dodgers and match Game one of the NLCS.

Speaker 4: Taylor leads from first.
Speaker 9: Jeffers deliveries flyball to left.

Speaker 2: Good game one of the Nationally Championshimp Series Dodgers and

Speaker 2: matchup coming up will dive deeper into these numbers. Rick

Speaker 1: And now joined by David Basse. Here's LA Dodgers Broadcaster
Speaker 1: and world Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 13: Well, the NLCS was Rick Monday stage in nineteen eighty one.
Speaker 9: He hit the biggest home run.
Speaker 13: And Championship Series history for the Dodgers, sending them to
Speaker 13: the World Series in nineteen eighty one. Rick up, what
Speaker 13: does it take to be able to perform on this stage?
Speaker 13: And I am honored to be here with you today.
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, you have to have a team
Speaker 4: around you that gets you to this level. I mean,
Speaker 4: here's the deal. One of these two teams is four
Speaker 4: victories away from being in the World Series. I mean,
Speaker 4: so you start to think way back in spring running
Speaker 4: at Campbell Back Branch, Glendale, what was the overall move?
Speaker 4: What was the goal? Well, the goal was to get
Speaker 4: into a position right here so you can win four
Speaker 4: more games and get to that World Series. And there's
Speaker 4: a lot that's obviously. This is fun. It's tense, There's
Speaker 4: no question about it. If we were not tense, it
Speaker 4: wouldn't mean that much to us. So, yeah, it's fun,
Speaker 4: but we're going to see what happens. Fasten your seatbelts, folks.
Speaker 13: It seems like this has been an unusual postseason, especially
Speaker 13: with the way starting pitchers have been used and the
Speaker 13: effectiveness or lack thereof where teams are going to the bullpen.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we start to look now interesting notes that were
Speaker 4: kind of passed along to me earlier today. If we
Speaker 4: look at so far the postseason games, the starting pitching
Speaker 4: has barely worked more than the relief and this is
Speaker 4: with just about every team. So you know, we're going
Speaker 4: to find out what happens in tonight's ballgame. For Code
Speaker 4: I Singa, he's starting for the Mets. He only made
Speaker 4: one regular season start. He made a short start also
Speaker 4: in postseason this year, so it figures he'll be there
Speaker 4: as at forty five or fifty pitches. Don't really know
Speaker 4: Avery Jack Clarity getting to start well local product. How
Speaker 4: many times in Jack's backyard did he think about, Hey,
Speaker 4: Dodger Stadium, which was his team that did related for
Speaker 4: get the postseason play and now a chance to help
Speaker 4: his ball club and now with the Dodgers a chance
Speaker 4: to get to the World Series.
Speaker 13: It's really incredible because Jack flaerty led Harvard Weslake to
Speaker 13: the CIF championship and he pitched a one nothing game
Speaker 13: and drove in the only run right here at Dodgers stadium,
Speaker 13: Rick and being a guy from Santa Monica High School,
Speaker 13: I think you could relate to playing and winning a
Speaker 13: World Series with this team.
Speaker 9: I think you have some experience.
Speaker 4: There's been a little bit of experience, no question about that.
Speaker 4: But you know, the offense, I think is the is
Speaker 4: the big thing? Defensively? Is there one sign versus the
Speaker 4: other of these two ball clubs? Not really certain what's
Speaker 4: going to to take place. You know, with Miguel Rojas
Speaker 4: not available in this series, that takes away some defensive
Speaker 4: you know, positivity if you will. With the Dodgers, though
Speaker 4: Tommy Edmonds played himself very very well. We'll take Shorts
Speaker 4: South for a beat tonight. And in center field, and
Speaker 4: speaking of center field, you've got her and Anders who
Speaker 4: you know, he turns on the lights the right is
Speaker 4: so far in his career when you get the postseason played,
Speaker 4: he's already shown that in that series against the Pungres.
Speaker 13: Cretain players that reputations that are made in October, you're
Speaker 13: one of them. And keith Y Hernandez seems to be
Speaker 13: making a reputation for himself.
Speaker 4: There are some of us that handle you know, not
Speaker 4: all the time, but you're able to handle situations. And
Speaker 4: again here I mentioned this in the series against pungrees.
Speaker 4: It's difficult to slow things down because there's so much
Speaker 4: at stake, every every throw that you're making, every swing
Speaker 4: to check, thank every ball that you try and feel
Speaker 4: you want to do it in a hurry, But this
Speaker 4: is the spot that you need to slow things down.
Speaker 4: It's much easier to say than it is to do.
Speaker 4: But there's some interesting comments that have been made all
Speaker 4: around baseball to begin with, and I look at the
Speaker 4: guy that you know is running along with sho hey
Speaker 4: Otani for most valuable player in the National League, that
Speaker 4: being Francisco Lindor, who's going to lead things off for
Speaker 4: the Mets into a nice ball game. Interesting comment that
Speaker 4: he made, asked about this series and ask about the season.
Speaker 4: Here's his quote. I want to win it all. I
Speaker 4: want to be a team that comes back every ten
Speaker 4: years and they eat for free everywhere that they go.
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's a pretty great feeling.
Speaker 4: You can relate to that as a motivation he's going for.
Speaker 4: So it's one was saying, But there's a lot that's
Speaker 4: been said. What I do like is that there's no
Speaker 4: chalkboard stuff. Well, that guy said this, and that guy said,
Speaker 4: this is about baseball, and I think Los Angeles in
Speaker 4: New York. This is a fitting stage, if you will,
Speaker 4: for from Major League Baseball and for the fans on
Speaker 4: both coasts.
Speaker 13: Hey, when I was a kid, to be at Dodgers
Speaker 13: Stadium for the nineteen eighty eight NLCS would have been
Speaker 13: a dream.
Speaker 4: Yeah, nobody took me.
Speaker 9: Rick, so here I am for twenty twenty four.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's stuck with me. You're gonna talk to Man
Speaker 4: Ramirez also on your social media, but you'll have some
Speaker 4: comments from him also on the postgame show.
Speaker 13: Man Blake Trining will be our pregame guest as well.
Speaker 13: Big member of that Dodger bullpen.
Speaker 4: You're working strong here in postseason affect.
Speaker 13: Rick Monday, Manny Ramirez and Blake Trinon. That's a good day.
Speaker 4: Is our time up?
Speaker 13: Well, yes, they said the same thing. It's becoming a trend.
Speaker 13: We'll send it back to you, Tim.

Speaker 1: This is high and tight.
Speaker 13: I wouldn't want to be with anybody else before Game
Speaker 13: one of the NLCS, A proud new papa and also
Speaker 13: a guy that has been a big part of the
Speaker 13: Dodger bullpen so far in October and this regular season,
Speaker 13: the one and only Blake Trining.
Speaker 9: I'm not lying. This is how I feel.
Speaker 15: I'm grateful for the nice introduction you just gave me,
Speaker 15: but can you be authentic one time?
Speaker 9: What do you mean? That's how I feel?
Speaker 16: Not one other person in this world you'd rather talk
Speaker 16: to right now?
Speaker 13: Well, I got a hug for Mookie Betts and now
Speaker 13: I'd rather talk to you right now.
Speaker 16: See in the moment's on it. The real person wants
Speaker 16: to talk to people is Mooie best. But don't we all?
Speaker 16: That's you all have to settle for me. We'll make
Speaker 16: it work.
Speaker 13: Oh, come on, you were a hard man to fined.
Speaker 13: After that clinching victory, everybody wanted a piece of Blake trying.
Speaker 15: No, they didn't. I was, I was trying. I was
Speaker 15: trying to be out here with my friends and family.
Speaker 9: I saw you on national TV.
Speaker 16: Maybe I don't I don't know where to go. Hey,
Speaker 16: what questions you got? Let's go, Dad, what do you got.
Speaker 16: I'm I'm glad, I'm here with you.
Speaker 9: Let's go.
Speaker 15: Let's's it's a hot take, Like, all right, serious, five
Speaker 15: minute question, let's go.
Speaker 13: Since you are a football fan, you always hear about
Speaker 13: group beings of football teams, special teams, offense, defense. Is
Speaker 13: there such a thing as that on a baseball team?
Speaker 13: Is the bullpen a different like group of the rest
Speaker 13: of the team that embodies everything else? I mean, it
Speaker 13: feels like you guys are different down there.
Speaker 16: Yeah, there's units. You know.
Speaker 15: It's like I kind of view it as like you know,
Speaker 15: the military, there's different branches and we're all pulling on
Speaker 15: the same rope and going to war for the same
Speaker 15: common goal. So you know, we're our own unit in
Speaker 15: the bullpen, but we're still pulling the same string as
Speaker 15: like our position players and our starting pitchers. So you
Speaker 15: probably can say there's your core three. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 15: I don't know. I don't know if guys who come
Speaker 15: off the bench on a regular basis versus you know,
Speaker 15: everyday starters, if they're the ones that are kind of
Speaker 15: viewed as like the bullpen of the dugout or I
Speaker 15: don't know how they view it, but like I just
Speaker 15: viewed it all as like offense. And then we've got
Speaker 15: our starting pitchers in us and we all just collectively
Speaker 15: try to pull together, but we have our own things
Speaker 15: we need to focus on so that we can be
Speaker 15: the best version of ourselves.
Speaker 9: How would you describe that group of relievers?
Speaker 16: Dogs? Dogs? Just a bunch of dogs, a bunch of dogs. So, yeah,
Speaker 16: it's trying to be loud there dogs. Yeah, we're a
Speaker 16: bunch of warriors down there.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 15: We've had a lot of guys that have gone through
Speaker 15: some stuff throughout the year. Obviously, there's no perfect stretch
Speaker 15: or very seldom is there a perfect stretch in a
Speaker 15: full season for a picture. I think Vestie is probably
Speaker 15: the closest that we had this year, but everybody else
Speaker 15: has picked each other up. Hudson what he did this
Speaker 15: year coming back from you know, two knee injuries over
Speaker 15: the last year and a half or two years, relea
Speaker 15: since twenty two, right, so, and having the year where
Speaker 15: he posted and put up sixty plus appearances and innings
Speaker 15: and Evan, you know, being Evan, you know he's been
Speaker 15: he faces the heart of the lineup every time he's
Speaker 15: out there and does such great things for us swinging
Speaker 15: miss stuff and as a whole we down there have
Speaker 15: done a great job, you know. And Bardo talking to
Speaker 15: us about it is when our name is called, trust
Speaker 15: our preparation and don't try to be careful, go out
Speaker 15: there and just be you know, on the offense, like
Speaker 15: try to try to enforce your will and.
Speaker 16: Your game plan.
Speaker 15: And yeah, I think we believe so much in each
Speaker 15: other that there's an accountability that is rarely seen as
Speaker 15: deep as it is down there, Like from top to bottom,
Speaker 15: everybody holds each other accountable.
Speaker 16: So that's what's nice.
Speaker 13: Blake Trenton is our guest in front of first pitch
Speaker 13: of the NLCS. So much attention has been given to
Speaker 13: you guys now, but we've seen it all regular season long.
Speaker 13: How much pride did you guys take and what all
Speaker 13: of you accomplished in Game four and what's ahead of
Speaker 13: you in the NLCS.
Speaker 15: Well, I think we're really just you know, satisfied with
Speaker 15: you know, not giving in that last series. You could
Speaker 15: have easily, you know, taken a turn for the worse
Speaker 15: when the Padres had a really good offensive output against us,
Speaker 15: and was it game two, game two?
Speaker 4: Maybe?
Speaker 15: Yeah, you know, they answered, they answered back after you know,
Speaker 15: we had a really good team winning game one. It's
Speaker 15: not easy staring down you know, a tend to win
Speaker 15: or whatever it was and or a loss for us.
Speaker 15: But uh, you know, think the biggest thing is, you know,
Speaker 15: at the end of the day, it doesn't matter how
Speaker 15: you win, or it could be a one run, one
Speaker 15: run victory or you know, a ten run victory, but
Speaker 15: the end of the day, as long as we have
Speaker 15: more wins than they do at the end of the series.
Speaker 16: That's really the goal.
Speaker 15: So not getting caught up in that, I think our
Speaker 15: team did a great job of, you know, going right
Speaker 15: back to what we do best, and that's focusing on
Speaker 15: the next day and and attacking each situation that we have.
Speaker 16: And we didn't.
Speaker 15: We didn't let you know, having a loss like that
Speaker 15: dictate the momentum.
Speaker 16: Uh. And you know they did win the sex the
Speaker 16: next game.
Speaker 15: But you know there's one inning that really kind of
Speaker 15: bid us, and that's really the one inning outside of
Speaker 15: Game two that they they did anything, and that's a
Speaker 15: really talented team. So for our guys to stay focused
Speaker 15: and and lock and lock in and execute on the
Speaker 15: pitching side of things, starters, relievers, and uh, the game
Speaker 15: game plan prep from our you know, our our game planners.
Speaker 16: It's a pretty pretty cool overall team.
Speaker 15: Like series win because that's a very talented team and
Speaker 15: it's going to be a dog fight for the division
Speaker 15: for probably the foreseeable future.
Speaker 16: So yeah, as a fun series.
Speaker 13: Blake Trinan is our guest. I mentioned at the beginning
Speaker 13: that during this playoff run, the trinin family added one more.
Speaker 13: It grew by one during the off day of the
Speaker 13: last NLDS. This has got to be such a special
Speaker 13: month for you. How did you balance all of that?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 15: Even before, Yeah, we welcomed Quinn to the world on
Speaker 15: the tenth and it was really special. I mean, the
Speaker 15: more kids you have, I feel like, the more you
Speaker 15: just appreciate those little moments. Early on you're just trying
Speaker 15: to survive and figure out life as a parent, and
Speaker 15: the more you have you're like, oh, it's not like
Speaker 15: I can enjoy these moments a little better. My wife
Speaker 15: and I just have kind of laughed about it because
Speaker 15: she's such a sweet little baby, and our kids are
Speaker 15: so enthralled with being involved. Just only two or three
Speaker 15: days into it now and like awesome, what is today's date?
Speaker 16: Thirteenth? Yeah, okay, so yeah, day three of it.
Speaker 15: You know, like our whole family is just enthralled with
Speaker 15: being either big sis, big brother, and and Katie just
Speaker 15: you know, soaking up the moments of being a mom
Speaker 15: again so well again but like of a newborn so
Speaker 15: uh yeah. And you know, I just grateful for my
Speaker 15: family and having the opportunity to be with them. You
Speaker 15: miss them a lot when this game has so many
Speaker 15: like cool moments that you that you live for, that
Speaker 15: you that you prepare for and you get to experience
Speaker 15: by the grace of God.
Speaker 16: How to give my wife credit.
Speaker 15: I know I'm long winded here, I'm sorry, but I
Speaker 15: gotta give my wife, you know, a huge shout out.
Speaker 16: I hate saying shout out.
Speaker 15: This is such a more endearing term that I'm looking for,
Speaker 15: but she, you know, has was so great at just saying,
Speaker 15: you know, go go be a part of the playoffs,
Speaker 15: thank you for being here, and thank you Dodgers for
Speaker 15: letting my husband come back. Because she should be focused
Speaker 15: on our family and celebrating the life of our daughter
Speaker 15: and not so much baseball first. And it's a hard
Speaker 15: thing as a husband to see, but you know, we've
Speaker 15: we kind of understand the lifestyle a little bit, but
Speaker 15: we're grateful that it worked out in the best way possible.
Speaker 13: Thank you to Katie Trenton for being a great mom
Speaker 13: and also a great woman, all star mom to be
Speaker 13: able to handle all that and support our man to
Speaker 13: be able to come out and help the Dodgers win
Speaker 13: a world series. Blake Trennon, I love sharing who you are.
Speaker 13: I really do appreciate sharing who you are. You're a
Speaker 13: great guy. You're an amazing person to be able to
Speaker 13: focus on your family but give everything you have during
Speaker 13: this time of baseball. So congratulations and a blessing to

Speaker 2: head back out to the booth. Steven Nelson Rick Monday.
Speaker 7: Guys, it's the Dodgers and Mets in the Championship Series. Hmm,
Speaker 7: that sounds familiar. Nineteen eighty eight the last time they
Speaker 7: met in the LCS. They've met two times since then
Speaker 7: in the post, but both those mo win the division series.
Speaker 7: But you think back to eighty eight, of course, the
Speaker 7: Mets they won one hundred games, they were the heavy
Speaker 7: favorites against the Dodgers. They beat the Dodgers ten of
Speaker 7: eleven times in that regular season. So in a way,
Speaker 7: it's a bit of a role reversal heading into twenty
Speaker 7: twenty four. But as we talked about previously, none of
Speaker 7: the regular season really matters. It's two totally different clubs
Speaker 7: from when they met in May. So what are you
Speaker 7: looking forward to the most here?
Speaker 4: In Game one? I think, first of all, how long
Speaker 4: the starting pitchers go. And if you look at the
Speaker 4: Dodgers and the footprint that they have already in the
Speaker 4: of the series against the pres How often are we
Speaker 4: going to be seeing bullpens by a committee? And speaking
Speaker 4: of the Dodgers' bullpens, I don't know how you can
Speaker 4: improve upon it. They weren't good. They were absolutely superb
Speaker 4: in that series against San Diego, and how much they're
Speaker 4: going to be called upon in this series we are
Speaker 4: going to be finding out. Even thing also that Dave
Speaker 4: Roberts addressing the factor is hey, look, he was asked
Speaker 4: the question, hey, single may only go two or three innings,
Speaker 4: how does that affect your ball club? And if we
Speaker 4: look at the lineup, KK Hernanuz is in the lineup
Speaker 4: playing in center field. The reason well, first of all,
Speaker 4: he's earned it the big home run in Game five
Speaker 4: against the Pondres. But also if they do bring in
Speaker 4: the lefty and that's perceived what it's going to be,
Speaker 4: that's a good situation to have Hernandez in that lineup
Speaker 4: and he's batting the seven spot.
Speaker 7: So from a talent standpoint, the Mets different than the Padres.
Speaker 7: I'm not going to say better or worse, because again,
Speaker 7: like you throw the paper stuff and the roster out
Speaker 7: the window. But one thing we can say definitively is
Speaker 7: that the starting rotation for New York much more lefties
Speaker 7: for the Dodgers to face. That will be Sean and
Speaker 7: I the Game two starter, and presumably at some point
Speaker 7: the veteran Jose Kintana, not to mention bulk Eye David Peterson,
Speaker 7: who were probably going to see tonight, and that bodes
Speaker 7: well for the Dodgers because they're very comfortable facing left yeah.
Speaker 4: And for the Mets, they are not like the Pondres.
Speaker 4: They don't have five guys the lineup can go deep
Speaker 4: all the time. They have guys that can hit the
Speaker 4: ball out of the ballpark, but their ball club is
Speaker 4: really designed to get on base. If they can get
Speaker 4: the extra base, fine, they're gonna try and force the issue.
Speaker 4: They have a ball club that is very dynamic. And
Speaker 4: the Dodgers know exactly they have their hands full. The
Speaker 4: Mets know they have their hands full with the Dodgers.
Speaker 7: Yes, the Mets again, they know Sean Na starting Game two.
Speaker 7: The Dodgers have not officially announced what's gonna happen in
Speaker 7: Game two because it's all dependent on Game one. In
Speaker 7: Jack Flaherty, Dave Roberts said, the hometown kid is built
Speaker 7: for the moment. Wasn't great against San Diego. Let's see
Speaker 7: how he is tonight, trying to get the Dodgers on
Speaker 7: the board first in this best of seven National League
Speaker 7: Championship Series. The winner going to the World Series.
Speaker 2: All right, thank you, guys, Dodgers Mets. First pitch is next.
Speaker 2: After the game, David vad says, got you covered with
Speaker 2: all the postgame reaction. This again the fourth time the
Speaker 2: Dodgers of Mets have squared off in the postseason. Twenty
Speaker 2: fifteen NLDS Mets won the series in five games, two
