WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.200 All right, we continue on Fred Rogan, Rodney Pete. 2 00:00:02.200 --> 00:00:04.040 We're here early today and we need to be here 3 00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:06.160 early for Game one of the World Series. 4 00:00:06.280 --> 00:00:07.759 Local all day long. 5 00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:11.000 Yes, we are taking your calls at eight six six nine, 6 00:00:11.039 --> 00:00:14.080 eight seven, two five seventy and we will do that 7 00:00:14.119 --> 00:00:16.839 coming up later on in the hour Rodney. But now 8 00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:19.679 we bring on Jack Harris of the LA Times, and Jack, 9 00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:20.920 good morning to you. 10 00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:23.000 How are we doing? 11 00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:25.679 We're doing great? Jack, I mean, are you signed? This 12 00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:27.679 is your big day as well, it's Game one of 13 00:00:27.719 --> 00:00:29.359 the World Series. How are you feeling? 14 00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:34.640 I'm great. Just you know, we're we're making up for 15 00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:38.119 how short the last couple October's were with with this 16 00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:40.359 year's round. It's just kind of how I'm looking at it. 17 00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:43.560 Yeah, Jack, I mean absolutely, And you bring that up. 18 00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:45.759 Let's let's let's go back. I don't I don't want 19 00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:47.719 to believe it a point because everybody has done that. 20 00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:50.520 But I want to get your take on this year. 21 00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:53.039 Why this year was different. I mean we've we've talked 22 00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:57.000 about it probably at nauseum, right, Fred, about how different 23 00:00:57.000 --> 00:00:59.439 it was. Yeah, I'm having a fight to get into 24 00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:01.759 and to win the division this year as opposed to 25 00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:05.439 being fifteen games up going into September and cruising all 26 00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:07.760 the way in into it and another team having to 27 00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:09.840 fight and get hot and all that kind of stuff. 28 00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:12.159 This year was different because they had to fight all 29 00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:14.439 the way through. How do you see this year as 30 00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:16.239 they've made it all the way to the World Series? 31 00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:19.040 Now, Yeah, I think if you look at how they've 32 00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:22.359 played in the postseason, the two big differences are we're 33 00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:25.920 actually hitting and hitting really well, and not just the superstars, 34 00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:29.959 but really the entire lineup has been putting together quality 35 00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:33.599 at bats and stressing opponents and generating a lot of 36 00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:38.079 chances that they've capitalized on. And then they've gotten not 37 00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:41.680 great starting pitching, but at least a few good starts 38 00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:43.480 here or there to take some of the pressure out 39 00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:46.359 their bullpen. To be in a spot where they are 40 00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:50.120 leading in some of these games. Why that's been different, 41 00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:54.359 You know, sometimes just guys are playing better. It's kind 42 00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:56.400 of like the easy answer. I do think that it 43 00:01:56.480 --> 00:02:00.599 helped a lot that they didn't coast into the playoffs 44 00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:04.480 this year, that they had a lot of meaningful competitive 45 00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:07.120 games down the stretch to try to close out the division. 46 00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:10.439 I also think the fact that they had struggled so 47 00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:14.000 much the last couple of postseasons just kind of forced 48 00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:18.960 this team to enter this October with a different mindset, 49 00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:22.479 trying to play with more intensity, trying to spend more 50 00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:25.439 time together and create a tighter bond in the clubhouse. 51 00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:27.439 So there's a lot of different reasons that I think 52 00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:31.719 the on field product has looked as improved as it 53 00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:35.159 has in this postseason run. And that's a credit to, 54 00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:37.840 you know, I think first and foremost the players for 55 00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:41.280 recognizing they needed to be better in these playoffs and 56 00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:43.319 they needed to do things a little bit differently. And 57 00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:45.960 then to everybody else with the team, for you know, 58 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:48.840 putting together a roster that, for all the problems it 59 00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:51.719 does still have, at least had enough depth and enough 60 00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:54.599 quality depth kind of compensate for some of that stuff 61 00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:56.879 and put them in a position where they could win 62 00:02:56.919 --> 00:02:58.759 a couple of rounds and get back to the World Series. 63 00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:02.039 All right, Yea, no way, Jack, hold on, Fred, No way, Jack. 64 00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:04.520 This is this is not about the players, not about 65 00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:05.479 anything else. 66 00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:07.439 This is this is Dave Roberts. 67 00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:10.919 Dave Roberts taught him how to hit in this postseason, 68 00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:14.000 because in the past postseason he got all the blame 69 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:17.879 because players didn't hit or players didn't pitch, so you know, 70 00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:19.840 when they're doing it and got to the World Series, 71 00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:21.520 Dave roberts made him hit. 72 00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:24.000 He taught him how to hit during this time. 73 00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:26.319 That is kind of how it works. I mean, it 74 00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:29.159 is funny to think about, you know, two weeks ago, 75 00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:33.520 he was probably one loss away from potentially being fired 76 00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:37.280 or definitely that being a question going into the off season, 77 00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:42.520 and now he's lined up for you know, four wins 78 00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:46.039 away from maybe cementing himself as legitimately one of the 79 00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:49.319 most accomplished managers in the history of Major League Baseball 80 00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:51.719 and going into an off season where he's probably gonna 81 00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:54.439 end up getting a lucrative contract extension now. So it 82 00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:57.039 is funny how being how quickly thinks can change this 83 00:03:57.159 --> 00:03:59.639 time of year. But it is a big credit to 84 00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:01.840 Dave robertsu who a lot of people around the team 85 00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:05.280 have credited with keeping you know, the energy and the 86 00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:08.400 optimism up when things went wrong during the regular season 87 00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:10.879 when they had all the injuries they did, and then 88 00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:14.960 for helping foster a lot of this somaraderie and togetherness 89 00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:17.680 and edge and these other you know, cliche things that 90 00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:20.959 I think are having a real positive impact on the 91 00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:23.439 team's play in these playoffs. 92 00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:27.560 All right, let's get to the roster. No Evan Phillips, graders, 93 00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:32.160 Vessio's back, Rojas is back. How much of a loss 94 00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:33.639 is Evan Phillips. 95 00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:36.600 I mean, he's a big one because if you look 96 00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:40.600 at how they had been using the bullpen, especially in 97 00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:43.240 that last round, it was pretty clear that Blake trying 98 00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:46.240 it and Evan Phillips were the two guys they trusted most, 99 00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:48.439 and in this kind of series, would have been the 100 00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:50.439 two guys that they would have tried to match up 101 00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:55.319 against the top of that Yankees lineup. Without that, they're 102 00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:56.959 going to have to lean on other guys. It's going 103 00:04:57.040 --> 00:04:59.959 to require Michael Kopek to be a little more consistent 104 00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:02.439 with his command that he has been. It's going to 105 00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:05.720 require Alex Vezio to probably get some some matchups with 106 00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:09.680 Juan Soto and succeed there. So it's a big loss 107 00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:11.959 for a team that, as we've talked about all October, 108 00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:14.600 has really had to lean on the depth and the 109 00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:18.839 strength of its bullpen to get to where it is now. So, uh, 110 00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:22.439 it's it's not an ideal situation for the Dodgers. It's 111 00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:24.680 something that popped up in Game six. There was some 112 00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:26.800 smoke there about why he didn't pitch more than one 113 00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:30.360 inning and that that Pennant clinching win. You know, he 114 00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:33.959 said yesterday, guy, he wasn't worried about his World Series 115 00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:38.279 roster availability. But it seems like the gamesmanship for this 116 00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:41.160 series has has started early with some of the smoke 117 00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:44.319 screens they set around, you know, his status and his 118 00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:46.839 availability for the series. And yeah, not not having him 119 00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:48.040 is going to be a big glove. 120 00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:54.160 Obviously. Yeah, this is two star studded teams. They've got 121 00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:57.120 big bats and big arms and and this is. 122 00:05:57.079 --> 00:05:58.439 What everybody really wanted. 123 00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:01.360 And at the end of the day, and and and Fred, 124 00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:03.600 you know, and I chopped this up a little bit 125 00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:06.519 earlier about you know, the two best teams in baseball, 126 00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:09.680 and he mentioned the padres as as being, you know, 127 00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:11.839 the second best team. And once the Dodgers got past 128 00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:14.639 them and they were edited to the World Series. But 129 00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:16.839 if you look at it just American League and National League, 130 00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:19.439 the two best teams are playing in the World Series, 131 00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:22.399 which is to me, it's it's it's great that it 132 00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:24.879 worked out that way. As you look at this Yankee 133 00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:27.600 team and the Dodgers have to face them. 134 00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:29.759 Who who would. 135 00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:32.079 Be the top guy they need the neutralize or to 136 00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:38.319 control or to watch out for. Uh, you know, I 137 00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:40.480 know they got the big names and everybody else. But 138 00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:43.839 in terms of the Yankees, because Aaron Judge has not 139 00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:48.399 really gotten going yet, who concerns you the most from 140 00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:49.439 the Yankees lineup? 141 00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:52.920 I mean, I think it's the Wan Soto matchup that's 142 00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:56.800 the toughest. He's been putting together their best at bats 143 00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:00.279 in that lineup. He's a left handed hitter, which adds 144 00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:03.480 another layer of difficulty to try to pitch to him 145 00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:05.600 and figure out, you know, who makes the most sense 146 00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:09.360 to pitch to him. And you know, he's for as 147 00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:11.879 good of a regular season as Aaron Judge had, and 148 00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:14.519 you know, by some metrics, it was even more productive 149 00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:17.519 than the year show Hey Otani had. I look at 150 00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:21.120 Wan Soto as a guy who is like the superstar 151 00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:23.560 version of Key k Hernandez in some ways where he 152 00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:27.000 takes his already you know, elite level of play and 153 00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:29.279 raises it even more this time of the year. He 154 00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:31.920 obviously hit the big home run in the ALCS to 155 00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:35.160 help the Yankees win that series. And win that Pennant. 156 00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:39.120 And when I look at at the most difficult matchups 157 00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:42.319 for the Dodgers to have to navigate in this World Series, 158 00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:44.480 it's going to be how do we try to limit him, 159 00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:45.879 how do we pitch to him, and how do we 160 00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:49.120 make sure that he's not generating rallies for New York 161 00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:50.480 at the top of their batting order. 162 00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:54.199 Uh okay, So Mickey Rojas is back. 163 00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:58.839 Now, when we look at the lineup, does Rojas start 164 00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:00.000 or does he come off the band? 165 00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:04.920 In your opinion, I think some of that will depend 166 00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:08.759 on just how healthy he is. I think you know 167 00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:11.519 that the options you have are you could go back 168 00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:13.759 to basically what you did in the NLVS when he 169 00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:16.519 was playing, which was having him a shortstop and having 170 00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:19.560 Tommy Edmund in center. If you do that, though, you 171 00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:21.759 might not have Key Ky Hernandez in the lineup and 172 00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:23.959 you might not have Andy Paez in the lineup. So 173 00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:26.040 I think they're going to have to weigh some of that. 174 00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:28.800 I wouldn't be surprised if he just starts coming off 175 00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:31.600 the bench, given how well you know the lineup was 176 00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:35.399 still producing even without him in the way that guys 177 00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:38.840 like ke K Hernandez and Andy Paez and even Chris 178 00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:41.240 Taylor at times, you know, we're able to generate some 179 00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:45.639 sparks offensively. He is a better bat, and I think 180 00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:48.440 you know, when it came to the roster, it really 181 00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:51.320 came down to him or Kevin Kiermeyer. And well, Kevin 182 00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:55.840 Kiermeyer serves a pretty important albeit limited role as a 183 00:08:55.879 --> 00:08:59.480 defensive replacement late in games in center field. Miguel Rojas 184 00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:01.600 gives you a better batch, a better bat at the 185 00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:03.960 very least coming off the bench, which is why I think, 186 00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:06.159 you know, even if he's not one hundred percent, even 187 00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:08.799 if he isn't in the starting lineup every single game, 188 00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:11.000 it still made sense to put him on the roster, 189 00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:14.039 give you some more options and give you somebody you 190 00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:16.639 can turn to at important spots to try to get 191 00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:18.600 a hit or or lay down a bun or whatever 192 00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:19.279 else it might be. 193 00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:22.879 Uh that that being said, as they chef around this 194 00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:26.600 roster doesn't then keyk got to be in there. Then 195 00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:28.720 he got to be in there every game and playing 196 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:30.559 the whole game. Because of what he's been able to 197 00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:33.440 do in the postseason, whether it's playing second base, whether 198 00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:35.639 it's playing third, or he's got to play center field. 199 00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:37.360 Don't you got to find a way to make sure 200 00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:40.039 Key K's in that lineup to start with and to 201 00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:40.519 finish with. 202 00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:44.679 Yeah, I think so. I think his play is this 203 00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:47.759 postseason has warranted it. I think that's how the Dodgers 204 00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:49.720 have kind of been looking at it is. You know, 205 00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:52.919 they signed this guy to be an impact player for 206 00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:55.320 them at this point of the year. He has been 207 00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:59.240 so far, and I'd be surprised if if you see 208 00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:01.799 his role uster changed very much from what it has 209 00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:04.200 been the last round and a half now, just given 210 00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:08.039 you know how meaningful he's been having in the lineup 211 00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:10.879 every game, producing some of the moments he has, bringing 212 00:10:10.919 --> 00:10:13.559 some of the energy he has. So I would still 213 00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:16.080 expect him in there most, if not all, the games 214 00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:19.039 in the series, especially if he keeps hitting. And it's 215 00:10:19.080 --> 00:10:21.320 a good problem for the Dodgers to have where they 216 00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:23.559 have a lot of guys that they trust and think 217 00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:26.120 can put together quality ads and then it just comes 218 00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:28.360 down to, you know, who they think is hot and 219 00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:30.159 which matchups they think make the most sense. 220 00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:34.960 All right, Jack, that's great. 221 00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:40.200 I think you've answered all the questions for us, because 222 00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:40.840 we had many. 223 00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:45.440 All right, Yeah, I got one I got another one, Jack, 224 00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:48.559 What do you think that this series, given that the 225 00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:55.240 excitement of it, Obviously Yankees Dodgers iconic franchise is probably 226 00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:58.799 in all of sports, in the top the top two 227 00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:03.879 of probably for work in all of sports. If you're 228 00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:06.440 talking about you know, cowboys in the mix a little bit, 229 00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:09.200 they're both these friends and top two. 230 00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:11.639 Do you think this one lives will live up to 231 00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:12.080 the hype? 232 00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:17.320 Yeah, I think the intrigue of the games will Just 233 00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:21.759 watching Aaron Judge and shohe Otani and Juan Soto and 234 00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:24.840 Moviie Betts and all the other star players that are 235 00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:27.720 going to be on the field this week. Just the 236 00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:30.679 matchups alone and seeing how they navigate those situations, I 237 00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:33.919 think is going to be really interesting and fascinating and 238 00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:38.240 lend itself to some memorable moments. Whether we get more 239 00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:40.840 dramatic games than the Dodgers have been playing in the 240 00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:43.559 first couple of rounds, I think is a question. And 241 00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:46.840 you know, in their ideal world, they're going to hope 242 00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:50.200 not because that means that a bullpen's blowing something late 243 00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:53.000 or something like that. So I'm not sure if we're 244 00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:57.039 going to get a ton of flow slate dramatic moments. 245 00:11:57.039 --> 00:12:00.440 But I do think, you know, just the star power 246 00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:03.919 that's in the series and the stress that those kind 247 00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:05.840 of players put on the opposing team is going to 248 00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:08.960 lead to a lot of interesting moments and decisions, and yeah, 249 00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:11.519 we're lucky, maybe some some big late game hits too. 250 00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:15.679 All right, Jack, we appreciate you jumping on. Thank you 251 00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:18.120 so much for your time. We'll see out of the 252 00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:18.759 stadium later. 253 00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:20.399 All right, thanks guys. 254 00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:23.399 All right, there goes Jack Harris at the Times Rodney. 255 00:12:23.960 --> 00:12:26.159 So for two hours and twenty four minutes, I've been 256 00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:27.600 telling people we're going to take calls. 257 00:12:29.320 --> 00:12:32.120 Yes, I know, I know, I know.

One grew up a Yankee. 289 00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:03.919 One group of Dodgers. How do you guys think their 290 00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:06.960 emotions are going to play in for tonight's Game one start? 291 00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:09.279 That's that's That's that's my question I. 292 00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:09.759 Have for you guys. 293 00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:11.879 Man, go Dodgers, Let's win this way? 294 00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:12.039 Do go? 295 00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:20.799 Evince?

Garrett Cole I think, has pitched in 300 00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:35.639 bigger games than Jack Flaherty. But Rodney, you is a 301 00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:39.679 guy that have played, you know, in giant games. What 302 00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:48.559 what are those emotions like?

But I think once the game gets started, 306 00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:00.320 I think they're gonna be just fine. Let's go John 307 00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:03.799 and the OC.
