00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:02.839
<v Speaker 1>The Dodgers are one win away from the World Series

2
00:00:02.879 --> 00:00:05.440
<v Speaker 1>and a man that knows about winning. He is the

3
00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:08.640
<v Speaker 1>best third base coach in baseball. He is a big

4
00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:11.919
<v Speaker 1>part of the Dodgers' success this season. And that is

5
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:16.280
<v Speaker 1>the great Italian American that resides in Rancho Cucamonga, the

6
00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:17.839

<v Speaker 1>Hey, I had a caller from Rancho Cucamonga last night

11
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:27.480
<v Speaker 1>and I said, if the Dodgers win the World Series,

12
00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:30.280
<v Speaker 1>there better be a parade in Rancho Cucamonga for you.

13
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:30.920
<v Speaker 4>I love it.

00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:31.359

00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:32.799
<v Speaker 4>That's that's good stuff there.

16
00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:36.000
<v Speaker 3>Hey, there's a bunch of sports people that live in Rancho.

17
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:39.200
<v Speaker 3>They follow the Dodgers and Angels so good. I'm glad

18
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:41.119
<v Speaker 3>a caller got on your show and talked a little.

<v Speaker 4>Hey.

21
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:44.280
<v Speaker 1>I know the players are having a great time. Winning

22
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:48.000
<v Speaker 1>is fun and contagious, but from your standpoint, are you

23
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:50.560
<v Speaker 1>allowed to enjoy all this so far?

24
00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:51.439
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely?

25
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:53.359
<v Speaker 3>I mean, we get to the park here, you know,

29
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:03.560
<v Speaker 3>tempo in the clubhouse, on the field where we've got

30
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:06.359
<v Speaker 3>great energy, and uh, you know, put in last night's

00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:12.040
<v Speaker 4>He just gotta we just got to continue to do

34
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:12.599
<v Speaker 4>what we're doing.

35
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:15.159
<v Speaker 3>Come out today, get hot early, and try to put

36
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:15.879
<v Speaker 3>this series away.

37
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:17.920
<v Speaker 2>Do you know, I know you can appreciate this.

38
00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:20.599
<v Speaker 1>When Mike Sooshie hit his home run in the eighty

39
00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:23.760
<v Speaker 1>eight nlcs AD Chase Stadium, he said he could hear

40
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:26.400
<v Speaker 1>his cleats in the dirt. That's how quiet it was.

41
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:29.120
<v Speaker 1>Have you experienced that the last couple of nights?

42
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:30.159
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely?

43
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:34.200
<v Speaker 3>And uh it's you know, just yesterday the crowd was

44
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:36.359
<v Speaker 3>on his feet, they're waving the towels and show hey

45
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:38.599
<v Speaker 3>goes deep to right center and it was silent, and

46
00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:40.840
<v Speaker 3>you could hear the guys in the dugout from where

47
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:43.359
<v Speaker 3>I was standing, And uh, it's.

48
00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:44.920
<v Speaker 4>That's the way. That's what you got to do.

49
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:46.319
<v Speaker 3>On the road is you got to you got to

50
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.000
<v Speaker 3>come out quick, score some runs, get the fans out

51
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:49.200
<v Speaker 3>of it.

52
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:51.120
<v Speaker 4>And hopefully today we can do the same thing.

53
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:54.040
<v Speaker 1>Do you know, Ebol Dodgers third base coach is our guest.

54
00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:56.359
<v Speaker 1>You know a lot of people are talking about Key

55
00:01:56.400 --> 00:02:00.680
<v Speaker 1>k a Hernandez, Max Muncy Otani bets all those rightfully,

56
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:04.040
<v Speaker 1>So what about Tommy Edmund? How important has he been

57
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:05.359
<v Speaker 1>to the success of the team.

58
00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:06.480
<v Speaker 4>He's been huge.

59
00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:08.919
<v Speaker 3>This guy's you know, he's been in this type of

60
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:11.840
<v Speaker 3>games before with the Cardinals. He's a he's a Dodger

61
00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:15.120
<v Speaker 3>player fundamentally sound, and he's doing really well. That Rojas

62
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:17.680
<v Speaker 3>is out with his injury at short he just puts.

63
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:20.080
<v Speaker 3>He's a baseball player. You ask him to bunt, he bunts.

64
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:23.080
<v Speaker 3>He you ask him to move a runner over, he does.

65
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:23.319
<v Speaker 4>So.

66
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:27.000
<v Speaker 3>Having Tommy here playing shortstop that Rojas is out has

67
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:27.280
<v Speaker 3>been a.

68
00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:28.800
<v Speaker 4>Huge factor in our lineup.

69
00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:31.360
<v Speaker 3>Yesterday he's hitting forth and he's coming up big and

70
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:34.560
<v Speaker 3>big double to drive in a run. So we love

71
00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:37.879
<v Speaker 3>him and continues, you know, hopefully he continues success.

72
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:39.639
<v Speaker 4>He's that a little ankle.

73
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:42.199
<v Speaker 3>Here and there coming in, but I ask him every

74
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:44.199
<v Speaker 3>day he's ready to go. This morning, he's here early,

75
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:46.280
<v Speaker 3>and he's he can't wait to get this thing started.

76
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:49.479
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of ankles, Freddie Freeman's been dealing with his right

77
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:51.199
<v Speaker 1>ankle the entire postseason.

78
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:54.159
<v Speaker 2>How do you gauge how he's feeling day to day?

79
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:55.159
<v Speaker 4>Really good?

80
00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:57.080
<v Speaker 3>So yesterday had the full day off, he had a

81
00:02:57.080 --> 00:02:58.960
<v Speaker 3>good look on his face. This morning, I went in

82
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:01.199
<v Speaker 3>and asked him how he's and he said a lot better.

83
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:04.400
<v Speaker 3>So I think yesterday gave him, you know, that ankle

84
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:06.560
<v Speaker 3>a little bit more time to heal. Same as with

85
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:09.919
<v Speaker 3>Gavin Lux. He feels a lot better today. But yeah,

86
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:12.039
<v Speaker 3>we we miss Freddy. We need him in the lineup.

87
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:14.919
<v Speaker 3>He's in there tonight, so hopefully you know he does

88
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:15.520
<v Speaker 3>what he does.

89
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:17.719
<v Speaker 4>This offense right now is rolling. We got to keep

90
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:18.039
<v Speaker 4>it going.

91
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:21.439
<v Speaker 1>I remember Mookie Betts catching him after he crossed home

92
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:25.280
<v Speaker 1>played in Game one of this series. How does you

93
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:28.439
<v Speaker 1>sending him from second to home? How does all that work?

94
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:31.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, when he was standing at second base there, I'm thinking, okay,

95
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:33.599
<v Speaker 3>I know I'm going to get tested early, and I

96
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:36.240
<v Speaker 3>did so. But he looked right at me, David, and

97
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:38.599
<v Speaker 3>this is this is the truth. He said, send me.

98
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:39.159
<v Speaker 4>I don't care.

99
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:41.599
<v Speaker 3>It's two outs and if it's hit to any one

100
00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:43.520
<v Speaker 3>of the outfielders, I want you to send me. So

101
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:46.560
<v Speaker 3>you know, I know his ankles, you know it's it's

102
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:49.240
<v Speaker 3>hurting him, but he comes to play this. The elite

103
00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:51.159
<v Speaker 3>players find a way to get the job done. He

104
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:54.400
<v Speaker 3>cuts the base as well. But when I send it,

105
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:56.280
<v Speaker 3>you know, when I did send him, and you know,

106
00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:58.120
<v Speaker 3>and I saw the throw and I'm thinking, and I

107
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:00.439
<v Speaker 3>was down by the box telling him to get down,

108
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:02.879
<v Speaker 3>and he almost ran into me. As his angle that

109
00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:05.280
<v Speaker 3>time was a little bit because he couldn't turn because

110
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:08.439
<v Speaker 3>of the right foot. But then I saw Mookie catch him.

111
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:09.759
<v Speaker 3>Then I knew he was in good hands.

112
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:10.879
<v Speaker 2>That's great.

113
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:14.240
<v Speaker 1>I love it, Dino. You embody everything that it means

114
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:17.279
<v Speaker 1>to be a Dodger. You're a disciple of Tommy Lasorda.

115
00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:20.240
<v Speaker 1>I know he's looking down from Blue Heaven and certainly

116
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:23.199
<v Speaker 1>proud of everything that this team has accomplished, and certainly

117
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:25.720
<v Speaker 1>proud of everything you've done to help the Dodgers.

118
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:28.720
<v Speaker 3>Well, thank you, David again, since I came back in

119
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:32.120
<v Speaker 3>twenty nineteen, and then when Tommy passed away in twenty

120
00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:34.680
<v Speaker 3>twenty after we won the World Series. Before every game,

121
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:36.720
<v Speaker 3>I look up and I tell Tommy, the big Dodger

122
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:39.480
<v Speaker 3>in the sky, give us, give us some love today.

123
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:42.199
<v Speaker 3>So I'm asking him again tonight. Get this series over with,

124
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:45.040
<v Speaker 3>so Big Dodger and the Sky Tommy, we need your help.

125
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:45.680
<v Speaker 2>Love it.

126
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:48.360
<v Speaker 1>What a team The Fruits of Victory The Dodgers one

127
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:49.759
<v Speaker 1>went away from the world series.

128
00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:51.399
<v Speaker 2>Dino, thanks a lot for the time.

129
00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:52.680
<v Speaker 4>Love it. Thanks for having me.
