Speaker 1: All right, we continue on Fred Rogan, Rodney Pete.
Speaker 2: We're here early today and we need to be here
Speaker 2: early for Game one of the World Series.
Speaker 1: Local all day long.
Speaker 2: Yes, we are taking your calls at eight six six nine,
Speaker 2: eight seven, two five seventy and we will do that
Speaker 2: coming up later on in the hour Rodney. But now
Speaker 2: we bring on Jack Harris of the LA Times, and Jack,
Speaker 2: good morning to you.
Speaker 3: How are we doing?
Speaker 2: We're doing great? Jack, I mean, are you signed? This
Speaker 2: is your big day as well, it's Game one of
Speaker 2: the World Series. How are you feeling?
Speaker 3: I'm great. Just you know, we're we're making up for
Speaker 3: how short the last couple October's were with with this
Speaker 3: year's round. It's just kind of how I'm looking at it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Jack, I mean absolutely, And you bring that up.
Speaker 4: Let's let's let's go back. I don't I don't want
Speaker 4: to believe it a point because everybody has done that.
Speaker 4: But I want to get your take on this year.
Speaker 4: Why this year was different. I mean we've we've talked
Speaker 4: about it probably at nauseum, right, Fred, about how different
Speaker 4: it was. Yeah, I'm having a fight to get into
Speaker 4: and to win the division this year as opposed to
Speaker 4: being fifteen games up going into September and cruising all
Speaker 4: the way in into it and another team having to
Speaker 4: fight and get hot and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4: This year was different because they had to fight all
Speaker 4: the way through. How do you see this year as
Speaker 4: they've made it all the way to the World Series?
Speaker 3: Now, Yeah, I think if you look at how they've
Speaker 3: played in the postseason, the two big differences are we're
Speaker 3: actually hitting and hitting really well, and not just the superstars,
Speaker 3: but really the entire lineup has been putting together quality
Speaker 3: at bats and stressing opponents and generating a lot of
Speaker 3: chances that they've capitalized on. And then they've gotten not
Speaker 3: great starting pitching, but at least a few good starts
Speaker 3: here or there to take some of the pressure out
Speaker 3: their bullpen. To be in a spot where they are
Speaker 3: leading in some of these games. Why that's been different,
Speaker 3: You know, sometimes just guys are playing better. It's kind
Speaker 3: of like the easy answer. I do think that it
Speaker 3: helped a lot that they didn't coast into the playoffs
Speaker 3: this year, that they had a lot of meaningful competitive
Speaker 3: games down the stretch to try to close out the division.
Speaker 3: I also think the fact that they had struggled so
Speaker 3: much the last couple of postseasons just kind of forced
Speaker 3: this team to enter this October with a different mindset,
Speaker 3: trying to play with more intensity, trying to spend more
Speaker 3: time together and create a tighter bond in the clubhouse.
Speaker 3: So there's a lot of different reasons that I think
Speaker 3: the on field product has looked as improved as it
Speaker 3: has in this postseason run. And that's a credit to,
Speaker 3: you know, I think first and foremost the players for
Speaker 3: recognizing they needed to be better in these playoffs and
Speaker 3: they needed to do things a little bit differently. And
Speaker 3: then to everybody else with the team, for you know,
Speaker 3: putting together a roster that, for all the problems it
Speaker 3: does still have, at least had enough depth and enough
Speaker 3: quality depth kind of compensate for some of that stuff
Speaker 3: and put them in a position where they could win
Speaker 3: a couple of rounds and get back to the World Series.
Speaker 1: All right, Yea, no way, Jack, hold on, Fred, No way, Jack.
Speaker 4: This is this is not about the players, not about
Speaker 4: anything else.
Speaker 1: This is this is Dave Roberts.
Speaker 4: Dave Roberts taught him how to hit in this postseason,
Speaker 4: because in the past postseason he got all the blame
Speaker 4: because players didn't hit or players didn't pitch, so you know,
Speaker 4: when they're doing it and got to the World Series,
Speaker 4: Dave roberts made him hit.
Speaker 1: He taught him how to hit during this time.
Speaker 3: That is kind of how it works. I mean, it
Speaker 3: is funny to think about, you know, two weeks ago,
Speaker 3: he was probably one loss away from potentially being fired
Speaker 3: or definitely that being a question going into the off season,
Speaker 3: and now he's lined up for you know, four wins
Speaker 3: away from maybe cementing himself as legitimately one of the
Speaker 3: most accomplished managers in the history of Major League Baseball
Speaker 3: and going into an off season where he's probably gonna
Speaker 3: end up getting a lucrative contract extension now. So it
Speaker 3: is funny how being how quickly thinks can change this
Speaker 3: time of year. But it is a big credit to
Speaker 3: Dave robertsu who a lot of people around the team
Speaker 3: have credited with keeping you know, the energy and the
Speaker 3: optimism up when things went wrong during the regular season
Speaker 3: when they had all the injuries they did, and then
Speaker 3: for helping foster a lot of this somaraderie and togetherness
Speaker 3: and edge and these other you know, cliche things that
Speaker 3: I think are having a real positive impact on the
Speaker 3: team's play in these playoffs.
Speaker 2: All right, let's get to the roster. No Evan Phillips, graders,
Speaker 2: Vessio's back, Rojas is back. How much of a loss
Speaker 2: is Evan Phillips.
Speaker 3: I mean, he's a big one because if you look
Speaker 3: at how they had been using the bullpen, especially in
Speaker 3: that last round, it was pretty clear that Blake trying
Speaker 3: it and Evan Phillips were the two guys they trusted most,
Speaker 3: and in this kind of series, would have been the
Speaker 3: two guys that they would have tried to match up
Speaker 3: against the top of that Yankees lineup. Without that, they're
Speaker 3: going to have to lean on other guys. It's going
Speaker 3: to require Michael Kopek to be a little more consistent
Speaker 3: with his command that he has been. It's going to
Speaker 3: require Alex Vezio to probably get some some matchups with
Speaker 3: Juan Soto and succeed there. So it's a big loss
Speaker 3: for a team that, as we've talked about all October,
Speaker 3: has really had to lean on the depth and the
Speaker 3: strength of its bullpen to get to where it is now. So, uh,
Speaker 3: it's it's not an ideal situation for the Dodgers. It's
Speaker 3: something that popped up in Game six. There was some
Speaker 3: smoke there about why he didn't pitch more than one
Speaker 3: inning and that that Pennant clinching win. You know, he
Speaker 3: said yesterday, guy, he wasn't worried about his World Series
Speaker 3: roster availability. But it seems like the gamesmanship for this
Speaker 3: series has has started early with some of the smoke
Speaker 3: screens they set around, you know, his status and his
Speaker 3: availability for the series. And yeah, not not having him
Speaker 3: is going to be a big glove.
Speaker 4: Obviously. Yeah, this is two star studded teams. They've got
Speaker 4: big bats and big arms and and this is.
Speaker 1: What everybody really wanted.
Speaker 4: And at the end of the day, and and and Fred,
Speaker 4: you know, and I chopped this up a little bit
Speaker 4: earlier about you know, the two best teams in baseball,
Speaker 4: and he mentioned the padres as as being, you know,
Speaker 4: the second best team. And once the Dodgers got past
Speaker 4: them and they were edited to the World Series. But
Speaker 4: if you look at it just American League and National League,
Speaker 4: the two best teams are playing in the World Series,
Speaker 4: which is to me, it's it's it's great that it
Speaker 4: worked out that way. As you look at this Yankee
Speaker 4: team and the Dodgers have to face them.
Speaker 1: Who who would.
Speaker 4: Be the top guy they need the neutralize or to
Speaker 4: control or to watch out for. Uh, you know, I
Speaker 4: know they got the big names and everybody else. But
Speaker 4: in terms of the Yankees, because Aaron Judge has not
Speaker 4: really gotten going yet, who concerns you the most from
Speaker 4: the Yankees lineup?
Speaker 3: I mean, I think it's the Wan Soto matchup that's
Speaker 3: the toughest. He's been putting together their best at bats
Speaker 3: in that lineup. He's a left handed hitter, which adds
Speaker 3: another layer of difficulty to try to pitch to him
Speaker 3: and figure out, you know, who makes the most sense
Speaker 3: to pitch to him. And you know, he's for as
Speaker 3: good of a regular season as Aaron Judge had, and
Speaker 3: you know, by some metrics, it was even more productive
Speaker 3: than the year show Hey Otani had. I look at
Speaker 3: Wan Soto as a guy who is like the superstar
Speaker 3: version of Key k Hernandez in some ways where he
Speaker 3: takes his already you know, elite level of play and
Speaker 3: raises it even more this time of the year. He
Speaker 3: obviously hit the big home run in the ALCS to
Speaker 3: help the Yankees win that series. And win that Pennant.
Speaker 3: And when I look at at the most difficult matchups
Speaker 3: for the Dodgers to have to navigate in this World Series,
Speaker 3: it's going to be how do we try to limit him,
Speaker 3: how do we pitch to him, and how do we
Speaker 3: make sure that he's not generating rallies for New York
Speaker 3: at the top of their batting order.
Speaker 1: Uh okay, So Mickey Rojas is back.
Speaker 2: Now, when we look at the lineup, does Rojas start
Speaker 2: or does he come off the band?
Speaker 3: In your opinion, I think some of that will depend
Speaker 3: on just how healthy he is. I think you know
Speaker 3: that the options you have are you could go back
Speaker 3: to basically what you did in the NLVS when he
Speaker 3: was playing, which was having him a shortstop and having
Speaker 3: Tommy Edmund in center. If you do that, though, you
Speaker 3: might not have Key Ky Hernandez in the lineup and
Speaker 3: you might not have Andy Paez in the lineup. So
Speaker 3: I think they're going to have to weigh some of that.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be surprised if he just starts coming off
Speaker 3: the bench, given how well you know the lineup was
Speaker 3: still producing even without him in the way that guys
Speaker 3: like ke K Hernandez and Andy Paez and even Chris
Speaker 3: Taylor at times, you know, we're able to generate some
Speaker 3: sparks offensively. He is a better bat, and I think
Speaker 3: you know, when it came to the roster, it really
Speaker 3: came down to him or Kevin Kiermeyer. And well, Kevin
Speaker 3: Kiermeyer serves a pretty important albeit limited role as a
Speaker 3: defensive replacement late in games in center field. Miguel Rojas
Speaker 3: gives you a better batch, a better bat at the
Speaker 3: very least coming off the bench, which is why I think,
Speaker 3: you know, even if he's not one hundred percent, even
Speaker 3: if he isn't in the starting lineup every single game,
Speaker 3: it still made sense to put him on the roster,
Speaker 3: give you some more options and give you somebody you
Speaker 3: can turn to at important spots to try to get
Speaker 3: a hit or or lay down a bun or whatever
Speaker 3: else it might be.
Speaker 4: Uh that that being said, as they chef around this
Speaker 4: roster doesn't then keyk got to be in there. Then
Speaker 4: he got to be in there every game and playing
Speaker 4: the whole game. Because of what he's been able to
Speaker 4: do in the postseason, whether it's playing second base, whether
Speaker 4: it's playing third, or he's got to play center field.
Speaker 4: Don't you got to find a way to make sure
Speaker 4: Key K's in that lineup to start with and to
Speaker 4: finish with.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so. I think his play is this
Speaker 3: postseason has warranted it. I think that's how the Dodgers
Speaker 3: have kind of been looking at it is. You know,
Speaker 3: they signed this guy to be an impact player for
Speaker 3: them at this point of the year. He has been
Speaker 3: so far, and I'd be surprised if if you see
Speaker 3: his role uster changed very much from what it has
Speaker 3: been the last round and a half now, just given
Speaker 3: you know how meaningful he's been having in the lineup
Speaker 3: every game, producing some of the moments he has, bringing
Speaker 3: some of the energy he has. So I would still
Speaker 3: expect him in there most, if not all, the games
Speaker 3: in the series, especially if he keeps hitting. And it's
Speaker 3: a good problem for the Dodgers to have where they
Speaker 3: have a lot of guys that they trust and think
Speaker 3: can put together quality ads and then it just comes
Speaker 3: down to, you know, who they think is hot and
Speaker 3: which matchups they think make the most sense.
Speaker 1: All right, Jack, that's great.
Speaker 2: I think you've answered all the questions for us, because
Speaker 2: we had many.
Speaker 4: All right, Yeah, I got one I got another one, Jack,
Speaker 4: What do you think that this series, given that the
Speaker 4: excitement of it, Obviously Yankees Dodgers iconic franchise is probably
Speaker 4: in all of sports, in the top the top two
Speaker 4: of probably for work in all of sports. If you're
Speaker 4: talking about you know, cowboys in the mix a little bit,
Speaker 4: they're both these friends and top two.
Speaker 1: Do you think this one lives will live up to
Speaker 1: the hype?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the intrigue of the games will Just
Speaker 3: watching Aaron Judge and shohe Otani and Juan Soto and
Speaker 3: Moviie Betts and all the other star players that are
Speaker 3: going to be on the field this week. Just the
Speaker 3: matchups alone and seeing how they navigate those situations, I
Speaker 3: think is going to be really interesting and fascinating and
Speaker 3: lend itself to some memorable moments. Whether we get more
Speaker 3: dramatic games than the Dodgers have been playing in the
Speaker 3: first couple of rounds, I think is a question. And
Speaker 3: you know, in their ideal world, they're going to hope
Speaker 3: not because that means that a bullpen's blowing something late
Speaker 3: or something like that. So I'm not sure if we're
Speaker 3: going to get a ton of flow slate dramatic moments.
Speaker 3: But I do think, you know, just the star power
Speaker 3: that's in the series and the stress that those kind
Speaker 3: of players put on the opposing team is going to
Speaker 3: lead to a lot of interesting moments and decisions, and yeah,
Speaker 3: we're lucky, maybe some some big late game hits too.
Speaker 2: All right, Jack, we appreciate you jumping on. Thank you
Speaker 2: so much for your time. We'll see out of the
Speaker 2: stadium later.
Speaker 3: All right, thanks guys.
Speaker 2: All right, there goes Jack Harris at the Times Rodney.

Speaker 2: what are those emotions like? All right, we're having some
Speaker 2: trouble getting Rodney. Uh, so we'll get him rehooked up.

Speaker 12: the Dodger has been big tonight. And Fred, I have
Speaker 12: to agree with everything you said earlier when you gave
Speaker 12: your PSA, But if I get a chance to be
Speaker 12: on TV, I'm gonna be on TV and I'm gonna yell.
Speaker 1: That's fine. You should you should. You should be yelling
Speaker 1: whether you're on TV or not. Randy.

Speaker 13: Steve Nelson has been absolutely magnificent.
Speaker 1: You know what.
Speaker 2: He's not a radio guy, and there's an art to
Speaker 2: do in radio, and I think he is really adjusted
Speaker 2: quite nicely, and he is doing a very good job.
Speaker 13: He is amazing. I mean, he stands here and he says, okay,
Speaker 13: Jack Blurry's up there, he points as Towy wiggles his glove.
Speaker 13: He's just fabulous, all right. And I know there's an
Speaker 13: art to the radio stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's very different.
Speaker 13: I just I hope when they play Game three in
Speaker 13: New York that that Pantone group marches into Yankee Stadium

Speaker 2: with your daughter. You know, I've always said life is
Speaker 2: full of moments. Moments create memories and memories or what
Speaker 2: we carry with us. And if you can spend a
Speaker 2: game like World Series Game one was someone you care
Speaker 2: if you're at that stadium, I will assure you I
Speaker 2: don't care how old you are now. Flash forward thirty
Speaker 2: years and you'll still be talking about it. Absolutely, you
Speaker 2: will still remember that you were there. And I've told
Speaker 2: the story of how the Kings won the Cup. And
Speaker 2: I was sitting with my family and I had to
Speaker 2: go upstairs and start getting ready for the postgame show
Speaker 2: on Channel four, and then my wife and my son
Speaker 2: are hugging each other. They still talk about that moment.
Speaker 2: They still talk about that moment, and they get it twice.
Speaker 4: You know, it's crazy about that moment, your wife and
Speaker 4: your son were hugging each other, but I would probably
Speaker 4: bet the ranch that they were hugging strangers at that
Speaker 4: moment as well. Outside of hugging, you know, immediate family,
Speaker 4: because that's a bond that you get in the stands. Yep,
Speaker 4: when your team is doing well or your team wins it,
Speaker 4: you're high five and and you're hugging fans that you
Speaker 4: don't even know and people that you don't even know,
Speaker 4: because there's a common bond in that stadium.
Speaker 1: So make them feel it. Players.
Speaker 4: As a player, I'm telling you, we feel it. We
Speaker 4: feel the energy from the crowd.
Speaker 1: We really do. We really do.
Speaker 4: It picks us up when we're down, It keeps us
Speaker 4: going when we're high. So uh, don't don't underestimate what
Speaker 4: you can do as a fan by being loud and
Speaker 4: being encouraging.
Speaker 2: I'll just take one more and do we have a choice.
Speaker 2: It is Game one of the World Series, So let's
Speaker 2: welcome Mitch on there he is, Hello.
Speaker 11: Mitch, Hi, Fred Ronnie, how are we doing well?

Speaker 5: I wish they give put uh Fernando in the Hall
Speaker 5: of Fame.
Speaker 9: I mean, look at the complete games he had. They
Speaker 9: don't have complete games in one season by old pitchers
Speaker 9: in all the thirty teams, right, So that's what I say,
Speaker 9: Go Dodges and go a USC Ronnie, especially at both games.
Speaker 1: Make it go Dodges, all right, God, there it is. Mitch.
Speaker 2: Can't complain we didn't put him on. Yeah, well barely barely.
Speaker 2: He made it sure, there was twice. I went for
Speaker 2: the button twice, but I let him go when he
Speaker 2: got to USC.
Speaker 1: You'd let him go.
Speaker 2: No, that's where he was going to take him out.
Speaker 2: But then I let him finish. It is a moment
Speaker 2: everybody will be waiting for throughout the south Land, that jolt,
Speaker 2: that burst of inspiration that will get the Dodgers over
Speaker 2: the top to now, Yeah, Vick will have the Haiku, next.
Speaker 1: Batter up. Hello, Yeah, it's a beautiful day for a
