Speaker 4: this high media day yesterday, we actually have a game tonight.
Speaker 3: This gonna be fun. Yeah, that's that's gonna be. Actually,
Speaker 3: the fun thing is we're gonna watch nineteens of baseball.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be epic, it's gonna be unbelievable. And of course,
Speaker 3: well I've got some good questions coming up for the
Speaker 3: technical parts of this game that we're gonna say for
Speaker 3: our guests, But I think you're we're going to see
Speaker 3: the best that baseball has to bring all the hoopla,
Speaker 3: all the talk, all that stuff. It's time. You know,
Speaker 3: that doesn't matter anymore. Let's see what happens between lines.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and coming up in a few hours. I don't
Speaker 4: know what time it needs to be submitted to Baseball,
Speaker 4: but we'll find out probably the next two or three hours. Uh,
Speaker 4: the twenty six man roster for both teams, the Dodgers
Speaker 4: and Yankees. So there's gonna be I mean that time,
Speaker 4: I think it's nine am this morning is when they
Speaker 4: have to be officially announced through Major League Baseball. And
Speaker 4: for the Dodgers. Yeah, there's some questions on who's going
Speaker 4: to be on this twenty six man roster. What's your
Speaker 4: biggest the biggest chance is gonna be in the bullpen? Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's gonna be. Yeah, Vessi is going to be out there,
Speaker 4: and and maybe Bruce Dargraderole, I mean, Brent Honeywell Junior
Speaker 4: is probably one of the odd man out. But who
Speaker 4: else in that bullpen is the odd man out? Is
Speaker 4: Land and Knack not going to be on this roster?
Speaker 4: Has Ben Casparius as Enriquez.
Speaker 3: Sperius probably will be. You need the lefty out there,
Speaker 3: have you gotta have Vessie out there.
Speaker 4: A one hundred percent he's got to be out there
Speaker 4: to go with Vonda. They need those guys joining us
Speaker 4: now from Sports net LA. One of the good guys
Speaker 4: out there, a longtime Major League comes from a family
Speaker 4: of baseball players. He was a member of the two
Speaker 4: thousand and nine Yankees World Series championship team, Yes, the
Speaker 4: last time the Yankees were in the World Series and
Speaker 4: won a World Series with two thousand and nine a
Speaker 4: Dodger as well. You see him on sports in net LA,
Speaker 4: and we're great to have him this morning here on
Speaker 4: a FI seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 3: He is Jerry Harrisdon Junior, Jay Hare. Good morning, buddy.
Speaker 4: How you doing so, jer Jake? Well, we are fired up.
Speaker 4: Finally we're here, Jay Hare. We've had a week to
Speaker 4: get ready for this World Series, all the storylines, all
Speaker 4: the hooplah, the media day yesterday, and we finally got
Speaker 4: baseball tonight for you. Having played for both of these franchises,
Speaker 4: won a World Series in two thousand and nine with
Speaker 4: that Yankees team, how special is this to have this
Speaker 4: matchup of two of your teams you played for.
Speaker 5: Well, it's extremely special, listen. You know, like you mentioned
Speaker 5: I did play in New York. I still know a
Speaker 5: lot of the people that are still there. Great franchise,
Speaker 5: great organization. But this is what we all wanted because
Speaker 5: these two teams are really great teams and also historical teams.
Speaker 5: You know, anytime you get the Yankees in the World Series,
Speaker 5: that's a great thing for baseball. Anytime you get the
Speaker 5: Dodgers in the World Series, it's a great thing for baseball.
Speaker 5: But get these guys tend against each other. I mean,
Speaker 5: it's nothing better in our sport. And also we have
Speaker 5: generational talents on display of this World Series show here
Speaker 5: Toddy versus Aaron Judge, Ron Soda versus Luking, Betts, Giancarnival
Speaker 5: Stanton versus Freddie Freeman, plenty of star power. Best two
Speaker 5: teams in all of baseball going at each other in
Speaker 5: the World Series. Can't wait?
Speaker 3: Well, Jerry, how's it going this morning? My friend go really.
Speaker 5: Well, really happy?
Speaker 3: Yeah? How bad?
Speaker 5: You could tell?
Speaker 3: Yes, exactly, Jerry, wanted to get your your opinion on
Speaker 3: this is. You know a lot of question marks about
Speaker 3: the pitching matchups Flairty against cole Is, Yama, Moto against Rhodon,
Speaker 3: all these you know, Bueler against you know, Schmid just
Speaker 3: I know they're not the exact lineups, but but those
Speaker 3: are the three and that's their basic three. Do the
Speaker 3: Dodgers have enough as far as starting pitching goes. I
Speaker 3: think they got to get thirty innings out of this
Speaker 3: World Series from their starters to make this thing happen.
Speaker 3: What's your thoughts on.
Speaker 5: I think they have enough. You know, we look, you know,
Speaker 5: at our starters or against the Padres. Obviously the Padres
Speaker 5: had a great ball club. In my opinion, the Padres
Speaker 5: were the Dodgers' biggest threat leading up to the World Series.
Speaker 5: They've showed they had enough. Now if we can get
Speaker 5: those innings like you mentioned sactually thirty maybe thirty two,
Speaker 5: thirty three innings, that gives us enough link out of
Speaker 5: a pitching staff as far as the stars to set
Speaker 5: up our bullpen, you know, our bullpen now as well
Speaker 5: lest expection, we have like a week uh in between
Speaker 5: the NLCS and the World Series our bullpen as well,
Speaker 5: lest just hopefully get Alex Specie and Bruce. I think
Speaker 5: those are two dynamic pieces in the bullpen to kind
Speaker 5: of make gates their star power in the offense. So
Speaker 5: I think if we get those starting to thirty three
Speaker 5: eatings on our starters. That just set up our down
Speaker 5: at bullpen.
Speaker 4: Yes, Jerry, I look at the roster and what they
Speaker 4: have to submit for this twenty six man roster or
Speaker 4: they've got too many guys for twenty six spots. And
Speaker 4: that's a good problem to have at this point of
Speaker 4: this season because that means guys have been produced when
Speaker 4: called upon, whether in the NLDS or the NLCS. We'll
Speaker 4: see what the roster looks like. But you mentioned if
Speaker 4: Vessie have Bruce R. Graderol, two guys are going to
Speaker 4: be on this roster, hopefully coming back from injuries. Miguel
Speaker 4: Rojas is a big question mark. If Rojas is available,
Speaker 4: is he on the roster? Do you stick with what
Speaker 4: that's worked in the last series with Tommy Edmond and
Speaker 4: Key Key Hernandez playing those two spots that Miguel Rojas
Speaker 4: could play. What do you do with Miguel Rojas?
Speaker 5: Well, I think if you do right on Ross, he's
Speaker 5: a guy that you can bring in late in the game.
Speaker 5: He used to elite at short. Especially if he's healthy,
Speaker 5: you can maybe put him in late in the game.
Speaker 5: But right now, as it's six. You know Tommy hadn't
Speaker 5: been a swinging a hot bat Teak care nanas as well.
Speaker 5: Most of those guys gotta play every day, I mean
Speaker 5: without questions. So if you do, Addam mcguil rohas true
Speaker 5: that his roster, you can sertainly mix, mix and match
Speaker 5: as far as defensive substitutions late in the game, when
Speaker 5: we have a lead and pugil Ross back in short
Speaker 5: suffware defensive, maybe have time he had to go back
Speaker 5: to center field. Uh, you know lat in games. But
Speaker 5: right now if a loss, I think he's the guy
Speaker 5: that come up off the bench, not an every day play,
Speaker 5: especially with Tommy and Ti car swinging the bat.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jerry, we all know that Sho Hao Tani can
Speaker 3: do a million things. Great, one of the things he's
Speaker 3: not going to do is pitch. Dave Roberts dows that possibility,
Speaker 3: uh yesterday. But might it be the speed of show
Speaker 3: Hao Tani that could be a big factor. Is he
Speaker 3: gonna run when he gets on? We saw him go
Speaker 3: from first to home the other day and it looked
Speaker 3: like a gazelle out there. Is there a chance that
Speaker 3: you know, we're gonna see him cut loose and maybe
Speaker 3: that speeds a difference, Jah, that is.
Speaker 5: A great question. That's what normal is really talking about.
Speaker 5: I'm glad you brought it up. I think a huge
Speaker 5: difference between the rosters with the Dodgers and the Yankees
Speaker 5: is the base run, the base ring running. The ability
Speaker 5: of the Dodgers not just stealing bases but going first
Speaker 5: to third running the bases. The Yankees is past season.
Speaker 5: Really want the best team on the base pass. I mean,
Speaker 5: it's been well documented by their guys, by the media
Speaker 5: over there. So I think heaving show Hal Tiny along
Speaker 5: with guys like Brookie Bats Rookie Bets has done a
Speaker 5: great job stealing bases in the postseason, and that Tom
Speaker 5: Edmick could run. Cheekyr Nas has a little speed. I
Speaker 5: think collectively that led by show Ale Tiny, they could
Speaker 5: take advantage of the Yankees Chick as far as being
Speaker 5: a little smaller into the plate, yes, and taking that
Speaker 5: after base because as you know, Sass, ninety feet is
Speaker 5: huge in the World Series.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Jerry, We're talking about this earlier. The calmness
Speaker 4: at Media Day with all the hordes of media that
Speaker 4: were there from around the world and the Dodger players
Speaker 4: from Otani, Who's never been here before on this stage
Speaker 4: to Mookie Bettch, so this is his third World Series appearance.
Speaker 3: Freddie Frieman's won a World Series before.
Speaker 4: A lot of the core on this Dodgers team have
Speaker 4: either been part of the twenty World Series, eighteen World
Speaker 4: Series appearance, the seventeen World Series appearance. They've been around.
Speaker 4: How much do you think that factor have been here
Speaker 4: done that. We know the pressures of the Fall Classic
Speaker 4: helped this Dodgers team.
Speaker 5: It definitely helps them. You know, these guys understand that
Speaker 5: the game is still the same is just the outside
Speaker 5: noise is huge. It's magnified, especially in a World Series
Speaker 5: and especially with two teams, historic teams, big market means
Speaker 5: like in lax sure media cover. So these players understand
Speaker 5: that they need to go out there. Let's continue to
Speaker 5: play the game the way they play it all season
Speaker 5: one because the most season, I think all the time
Speaker 5: it's a different game. But the World Series is the
Speaker 5: same thing as you were playing. As far as LDX
Speaker 5: spot style of play. Nlcs go out there, execute and
Speaker 5: the team that executes, don't think give the extra team
Speaker 5: X routes should be victorious in this series.
Speaker 3: Jerry, there's gonna be a lot of emphasis obviously on
Speaker 3: the top three for the Dodgers, but it's really the
Speaker 3: bottom of the order that's been really the booie for
Speaker 3: the team in many instances, setting up the situations for
Speaker 3: Shoheo Tani to do what he does with runners on base.
Speaker 3: Five day layoff against the Padres, no problem. Is this
Speaker 3: five day layoff going to make a difference? And what
Speaker 3: do you think about the bottom of that order and
Speaker 3: success as successful as they've been so far.
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, we we talk about play of star powers
Speaker 5: on both sides. I think that is a different between
Speaker 5: the Dodgers and the Yankees. The Ers are a great team.
Speaker 5: I don't think they have nearly the depth that the
Speaker 5: Dodgers do. Once through nine, the Dodgers put together and
Speaker 5: string together gray at backs, and I think that is
Speaker 5: a huge advantage for the Dodgers. Seven through nine have
Speaker 5: done an incredible job. We talked about Tommy. I know
Speaker 5: it's fourth against left handed pitching a lot of times
Speaker 5: because Ryan and pitching. He's a little down the order
Speaker 5: sometimes hitting seventh at k hitting eight sometimes that is
Speaker 5: a tremendous a manager. They continue to swing the back
Speaker 5: and get on base for Shoale tiny Mookie Bets. What
Speaker 5: a tremendous advantage it is for the Dodgers.
Speaker 4: Jack Flarity gets the start in Game one. What's Jack Flairity?
Speaker 4: Do you think we see the one that struggled last
Speaker 4: time out or the one who earlier in this playoffs
Speaker 4: was really dominated against the New York Mets.
Speaker 5: Well, I think we're gonna see a guy that has
Speaker 5: been great all season long. He had that hiccup in
Speaker 5: New York, but everybody knows now he had the flu,
Speaker 5: did not feel good at all. He's pitching on six days.
Speaker 5: Anytime you get a pitcher like him in his attitude, Uh,
Speaker 5: giving him extra day's rest, you know he's going to
Speaker 5: be strong and itching to kind of wipe away in
Speaker 5: that performance he had against the match. So I don't
Speaker 5: expect him to pitch well tonight. Give us a chance
Speaker 5: to win and hopefully get deep in the ball.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jerry, My last one for you. Obviously. One strength
Speaker 3: for the Dodgers a bullpen. It's been tremendous all year long,
Speaker 3: been great in postseason. Yankees got a couple of good
Speaker 3: guys down there as well, the left hander Hill coming
Speaker 3: from way down low Weaver, their closer. How do these
Speaker 3: two bullpens match up in your estimation?
Speaker 5: I think the biggest question mark he's going into the
Speaker 5: postseason was that bullpen. I know, we've stepped up to
Speaker 5: be the closer and he's had a really good run.
Speaker 5: Their bullpen has really kind of shined in this postseason,
Speaker 5: and I get I don't want to disrespect the Guardians.
Speaker 5: I don't want to disrespect the Royals, but they're not
Speaker 5: the Dodgers, so I'm I'm really anxious to see how
Speaker 5: they're pitching. Stop the bullpen pitches the Yankees of all
Speaker 5: the clubs, pitched out in the zone. They're trying to
Speaker 5: get you to chase. That's how they're effected if you
Speaker 5: make sure you're disciplined at the plate the way that
Speaker 5: Dons historically have been and in this postseason run, not
Speaker 5: swinging our pitcher's pitches off the plate. They should put
Speaker 5: themselves in here, friendly council, they do that, Sax, you
Speaker 5: know what I do, Casey as well. They got damage
Speaker 5: when they put themselves in big possession. Take two Y three.
Speaker 4: W Jerry, we appreciate you joining us this morning. I
Speaker 4: gotta know the most important question, where are you teaing
Speaker 4: off this morning.
Speaker 5: Old Ranch, Old Ranch County Club.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, love Old Ranch.
Speaker 4: All right, Well hit him straight this morning, have a
Speaker 4: great round and we'll check you out on sports and
Speaker 4: nl later later today.
Speaker 5: Believe it. Dodgers and seven Dodgers.
Speaker 4: And seven from Jerry Harrison Jr. There he goes on
Speaker 4: his way to Old Ranch. If you're playing Old Ranch
Speaker 4: this morning, look out you're on the lookout for some
Speaker 4: from Jerry Harrison Junior out there on the golf course.
Speaker 4: I'm so excited and finally to be actually the breaking
Speaker 4: down this game. Saxy talking bullpens, talking matchups, talking Big
Speaker 4: three versus their Big three, talking about the bottom of
Speaker 4: the lineup, Jack Flarity. I truly expect Jack Flarity to
Speaker 4: look like the Jack Flarity he did his first time
Speaker 4: around against the New York Mets in the NLCS. That
Speaker 4: that hiccup in New York in Game five, I gotta
Speaker 4: believe is just what it was, a blip on the radar.
Speaker 3: He'll be back to being Jack. You'll know early you'll
Speaker 3: be And while you have the three components of pitching, velocity,
Speaker 3: location and movement, I think velocity you know in all respects.
Speaker 3: In the end, is probably the least important, but it
Speaker 3: is important because it kind of sets up your other pitches.
Speaker 3: It's it's important if you're throwing ninety ninety one, it's
Speaker 3: not all that important. If you're throwing, you know, ninety eight,
Speaker 3: guys just turn it up. I mean, if you're throwing
Speaker 3: ninety eight down the middle, they'll turn up the dial
Speaker 3: and they'll they'll hammer it. So that is not a
Speaker 3: problem that you can't solve if it's down the middle.
Speaker 3: That's my question about Jack. Is he going to be
Speaker 3: down the middle in ninety one or is he gonna
Speaker 3: be on the fringes of the plate and being able to,
Speaker 3: you know, circumvent any of those dangerous areas where you know,
Speaker 3: it's ninety one and down the middle, or is it
Speaker 3: gonna be ninety four, ninety five and on the fringe,
Speaker 3: then you got a better chance.
Speaker 4: How important is getting guys to chase, getting swinging missus
Speaker 4: from guys, maybe chasing pitches out of the strike zone
Speaker 4: from the Yankees, you know, and getting some help from
Speaker 4: Jack Flerty there. You know, you don't have to be,
Speaker 4: as you said, down the middle if he can get
Speaker 4: some swinging missus and some chases from balls outside the zone.
Speaker 3: That's a big Thing's huge. I mean, imagine it's a
Speaker 3: safety valve for you. You're not gonna get hurt if
Speaker 3: you're throwing the ball that's not a strike because they're
Speaker 3: not going to hit it well. But if they're at
Speaker 3: the same time going to go out and chase that thing,
Speaker 3: you have the confidence with your catcher behind the plate
Speaker 3: in Will Smith, he can block anything back there, so
Speaker 3: you can throw that pitch. You know, with guys on base,
Speaker 3: guys on second and third, you can still throw row
Speaker 3: that nasty slider in the dirt and you know they're
Speaker 3: gonna chase and he's gonna be's in a blocket. So
Speaker 3: that's a comfort, you know, for the pitching staff.
Speaker 4: We'll hear from Jack Flaherty coming up in just a
Speaker 4: little bit. Andre Ethier is gonna join us in less
Speaker 4: than an hour. David vas Say will join us next hour.

Speaker 3: Good morning?
Speaker 6: Uh yeah, only share my Game one World Series experience
Speaker 6: in nineteen eighty eight. Okay, like you're saying, Kate's the
Speaker 6: orange hoo over Doctors Stadium is amazing once you entered
Speaker 6: the stadium. Anyways, let me step back a little bit.
Speaker 6: I bought my ticket for five hundred bucks off of
Speaker 6: a friend of a friend. So three of us entered
Speaker 6: the stadium and we're walking in and you see flash
Speaker 6: bobs going across and we're like, holy cow, what's going on? Well,
Speaker 6: Mark Maguire was hitting bombs almost out of the stadium,
Speaker 6: up high up in the pavilion and just like, oh
Speaker 6: my god, I can't believe this. So we're walking through
Speaker 6: the seats and I can't.
Speaker 5: Believe this happened.
Speaker 7: Neither.
Speaker 6: Debbie Gibson was there. She's sung in the national anthem.
Speaker 6: I had a World Series program.
Speaker 5: She signed it.
Speaker 6: It was pretty awesome. So anyways, I got to my seat,
Speaker 6: sit in my seat with some gentlemen and I'm like, okay,
Speaker 6: we get security to help out with this the situation,
Speaker 6: and security came up and they said, sir, your ticket
Speaker 6: is hot. Your ticket is no good. I'm like what,
Speaker 6: So they said where did you get the ticket? So
Speaker 6: I went and I said it was a friend of
Speaker 6: a friend. He's sitting right over there. And so they
Speaker 6: went and talked with them, and they came back and
Speaker 6: they said, okay, sir, you can go ahead and stay
Speaker 6: in the stadium. We're not going to kick you out.
Speaker 6: You can just kind of meander around. So my buddy,
Speaker 6: he swapped seats with me all game. When we stayed
Speaker 6: for the whole game, we got to see Gibbey's home run.
Speaker 6: Of course, a lot of the crowd left, so I
Speaker 6: was able to get a seat closer once the game ended.
Speaker 6: When Gibby hit that home run. Two grown men twenty
Speaker 6: years old, hugging each other, we barely Breathe left the
Speaker 6: stadium hand stinging. You know, that experience was priced. That's
Speaker 6: five hundred bucks I ever spent in my life. I
Speaker 6: just wanted to share that story, guys, All right, Sam.
Speaker 3: Appreciate it.
Speaker 4: So you bought an illegal ticket, got into Dodgers DABIU
Speaker 4: in nineteen eighty eight and got to see Steve Sacks
Speaker 4: and Kirk Gibson and the crew in Game one of
Speaker 4: the World Series.
Speaker 3: So okay, at least they kept you in there. They
Speaker 3: didn't kick you out Dodger Stadium. So that's a good thing.
Speaker 3: That's a good thing, right. But you know what, that
Speaker 3: is the best five hundred bucks because people still talk
Speaker 3: about that home run and they will for a long
Speaker 3: long time. Oh yeah, that's it's Kirk Gibson's home run.
Speaker 3: It's going to live in infamy, you know what. You
Speaker 3: know what, It was great though, when you see it
Speaker 3: on replay and you see the view from up up,
Speaker 3: you know, like the camera that was up in the
Speaker 3: stands and you see the ball going out. All you
Speaker 3: see is the ball and they're tracking the ball going out,
Speaker 3: and in the background you can see the cars that
Speaker 3: are leaving that were they left during the seventh inning.
Speaker 3: They're trying to get out of the stadium and they're
Speaker 3: obviously listening to Vinnie call the shot, and all the cars,
Speaker 3: the red lights of the break lights are just slammed
Speaker 3: at the same time, and people were going like, damn,
Speaker 3: I left too early, you know what I mean? Yeah,
Speaker 3: I just thought that was hilarious. It's the best to
Speaker 3: see those tail lights of people. Yeah. Wow. Do you
Speaker 3: remember Debbie Gibson singing the national anthem?
Speaker 6: Then?
Speaker 3: Debbie Gibbson was a rock star? He was a rock star.
Speaker 4: Did she sing it that day? I have no clue
Speaker 4: if that's what the gentleman Paul just said, so I'm
Speaker 4: gonna take off his work. Yeah if he If he's
Speaker 4: remember that, it sounds like around the time where she
Speaker 4: was really, you know, a big star, right yeah? Oh yeah,
Speaker 4: huge huge in nineteen eighties. Tonight you got Brad Paisley,
Speaker 4: country superstar doing the national anthem tonight on race.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Hey, Brad's a huge Dodger fan by Did I
Speaker 3: tell you what I did to Kenny G one time?
Speaker 3: Did you take his what does he play the saxophone
Speaker 3: or flavor or whatever. Yeah, he plays all that, you know,
Speaker 3: clarinet and whatever. But it was in Oakland, and it
Speaker 3: was did I tell you the store to him?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, you know, since you and me the only
Speaker 3: ones listening right now, just the two of us, just
Speaker 3: two of us. John Shelby was standing next to me.
Speaker 3: I'll make this quick because I don't like to you know,
Speaker 3: kind of drown on. But we're on the line. You
Speaker 3: know you're on the line there, you get introduced. Kenny
Speaker 3: g Is is star searching the National Anthem. Okay, he
Speaker 3: thinks that this is a Star Search competition when he's
Speaker 3: doing the other I like the anthem done very traditional,
Speaker 3: like I like the words that Francis scott Key wrote
Speaker 3: when he wrote the National Anthem. And you're listening and
Speaker 3: it's supposed to be traditional, and then you get people
Speaker 3: up there that sing it for themselves or they play
Speaker 3: an instrument for themselves and they're like they're on Star Search.
Speaker 3: That really ticks me off. And guys would like, come
Speaker 3: in the locker room and tell me sucks. You don't
Speaker 3: go out there. You're not gonna like the anthem? No,
Speaker 3: because they know I'd get ticked off, so I would
Speaker 3: just stay in the clubhouse sometimes rather than hear a
Speaker 3: disrespectful national anthem. I love it. So Kenny G is
Speaker 3: playing the anthem like a star shirts and he finishes,
Speaker 3: and John Shelby had a ball in his pocket and
Speaker 3: I said, John, give me the ball. He gave me
Speaker 3: the ball, and I'm telling you, I took one step back.
Speaker 3: It was like magic, stepping back on the three point
Speaker 3: line and I just heaved this this hardball and I
Speaker 3: hit that dude right in the ankle, short hopped him.
Speaker 3: Short hopped him right in the ankle, and you can
Speaker 3: see him limping off the field. And I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 3: take that, Kenny G. Don't disrespect the anthem. How have
Speaker 3: you been sitting on this story forever? This is the
Speaker 3: greatest story ever. So it was like boom right in
Speaker 3: the fibula. I mean, I just drilled this dude, and
Speaker 3: you know what, I'm surprised you didn't see me, but
Speaker 3: I was right on with the shot. I thought, I'm
Speaker 3: gonna have some good defensive place today. I just drilled
Speaker 3: Kenny G in then, and they like, this isn't the
Speaker 3: World Series. In the World Series yeah in Oakland. Yep, yeah,
Speaker 3: I did it. I tell you, I don't go for
Speaker 3: that disrespect in the anthem stuff. I mean, you know
Speaker 3: what I'm with. You's been three minutes and practice how
Speaker 3: it's done, and know the words when you get up
Speaker 3: there like you're supposed to. But don't disrespect the anthem.
Speaker 3: I don't like that. I love it. I absolutely loved
Speaker 3: the ankle.
Speaker 4: What was it anybody that any of the teammates start
Speaker 4: laughing and really dying laughing, dying laughing, Yeah, Kenny did
Speaker 4: Kenny g look around like, well, yeah he was.
Speaker 3: He was like who that? I thought he probably thought
Speaker 3: there was a sniper in this and you think he's
Speaker 3: under sniper fire right there or something like where'd this
Speaker 3: cone wrong?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 3: No, I'm kiddy. Saxophone they got he got a rawling's
Speaker 3: registered official right there above above the the above above
Speaker 3: the ankle, bango right in the ankle. I loved it.
Speaker 3: That is awesome. What a great story. Yes, it's true story.
Speaker 3: You've been sitting on this for all these years. I
Speaker 3: never told you. I know I told you this story.
Speaker 3: Have you have you nailed anybody else with the baseball
Speaker 3: during the national anthem?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: Well, not with the baseball, but I did boo Donnie
Speaker 3: Osmond one time in in Minnesota when I was a
Speaker 3: member of the Yankees. He was star searching the damn
Speaker 3: thing up and I was I was right there on
Speaker 3: the dugout standing in attention and the very end of
Speaker 3: the song or Lando the Free, you know, and he
Speaker 3: was going like a Lando the Free, Yeah you know
Speaker 3: that stuff. Oh yeah, And I just let out a
Speaker 3: boo a lot of I could, and he actually looked
Speaker 3: right at me. Jo home plate and the dugout are
Speaker 3: like fifteen feet away. It's just really close. And I
Speaker 3: booed the hell out of him, right in his face,
Speaker 3: and he looked right at me, and I'm like, well,
Speaker 3: too bad, dude, Sorry Donnie Osmond, Sorry Donnio. Not your
Speaker 3: moment to shine, buddy, No, no, no, no, this isn't
Speaker 3: star search. And I booed the hell out of him too.
Speaker 3: Two guys, I really gave it to him. I love it.
Speaker 4: That is awesome, true stories, that is awesome. I wish
Speaker 4: there was. There's gotta be video of you nailing Kenny
Speaker 4: g with the Bears. Has to be limping off off
Speaker 4: of the field. We're gonna have to look at the YouTube.
Speaker 3: There's got to be a video of it. Just got
Speaker 3: to hit him right in the ankle. I love it.
Speaker 4: I know, I love it. That is awesome. That is
Speaker 4: absolutely awesome. Hopefully nobody. You know, Brad Paistley does a
Speaker 4: great job. We love Brad Paisley. Oh he's a listener
Speaker 4: to seventy and Dodger talk and everything.
Speaker 3: He knows. He knows me. He better do it right
Speaker 3: now because I might be a sniper over there right
Speaker 3: head on his swivel for Steve Zach throwing a baseball
Speaker 3: at you. I love it. I love it.
Speaker 4: Reggie in La Joyce is now here on a La
Speaker 4: Sports Be careful. Reggie might get a baseball of the leg.
Speaker 8: All right, Hey man, you know we're talking about Yankees
Speaker 8: and all that.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, we know about that.
Speaker 1: The most important thing we need to.
Speaker 8: Find out right now, Steve Sacks, what's the best national
Speaker 8: anthem you've ever heard? Because to me, it's Whitney Houston one. Yeah,
Speaker 8: Lillian and Gussia two and Boyce to men three.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well you got sacked.
Speaker 3: I got listen. If you don't sing the anthem right
Speaker 3: outside of Whitney Houston. Her rendition is the best no question.
Speaker 3: But these other people that try to be Whitney Houston. No,
Speaker 3: you're not gonna be Whitney Houston. There's only one of her.
Speaker 3: There was only one of her, and nobody did it
Speaker 3: like that. That's the best rendition ever. I agree with you.
Speaker 1: Oh, and I'm glad we agree on it because when
Speaker 1: she sang it, I was I don't know if I've
Speaker 1: ever been more moved than when to Wait Crime.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, And people try to do it like that
Speaker 3: and it's like, no, you're no Whitney Houston. She's the
Speaker 3: only one that could do that. Reggie.
Speaker 1: I think I think, I think if you googled Lily
Speaker 1: and Garcia, I think she would be your number two.
Speaker 10: She was.
Speaker 1: She used to be the WWE announcer.
Speaker 10: Oh.
Speaker 1: I think if you saw her do it, I think
Speaker 1: you'd be proud of that.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, appreciate it, Reggie.
Speaker 4: Are you okay with somebody playing the guitar or the
Speaker 4: instrument because you know, Kenny g wasn't singing right, he
Speaker 4: was playing the saxophone.
Speaker 3: Of course we'll do it. And then he was really
Speaker 3: just you know, Kenny gan it out. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 3: it's I guess it's okay, but just do it right.
Speaker 3: You know, my niece is a country western singer Elena Jane.
Speaker 3: You check her out, Okay, and and uh you know,
Speaker 3: I've talked to my niece and I said, look, Lena,
Speaker 3: she's done the anthem all over including Dodger Stadium. I'm like, uh, hun,
Speaker 3: please for Uncle Steven, don't don't don't, don't, don't screw
Speaker 3: it up. Okay. And she knows, she knows she's gonna
Speaker 3: go out, and she does it right. She bangs it out.
Speaker 3: She's really good Elena Jane, so she knows she'll catch
Speaker 3: the rat if she does it different. Yeah, Uncle Steve
Speaker 3: was gonna get after her. Even they gonna dig that.
Speaker 4: She's gonna get a baseball to the leg. It's like
Speaker 4: kadyj did. Let's go to Tepi and Covina. Next up
Speaker 4: here with Saxon Kates and Am Tepi.
Speaker 11: Good morning, Good morning, guys. You know, today's my birthday
Speaker 11: and I'm just feeling the energy. It's a beautiful day.
Speaker 11: I woke up early, and I feel that the stars
Speaker 11: are aligned press this year for the Dodgers. We're gonna
Speaker 11: go all the way. I think everybody's focused and My
Speaker 11: question is I looked online this morning. What's the lineup
Speaker 11: this morning?
Speaker 4: Lineup has talked about yet? Yeah, linup has not come out,
Speaker 4: Tappy appreciate happy birthday. Lineup has not come out yet.
Speaker 4: I think we're still about ninety minutes away or so
Speaker 4: from the roster being announced, and that's gonna be a
Speaker 4: big thing to see what the twenty six man roster
Speaker 4: for this World Series is going to look like. With
Speaker 4: the bullpen getting some boosts from Bruce Dargraderole and Alex Vesia,
Speaker 4: but that also means two guys that are currently on
Speaker 4: the nl NLCUS roster and helped out the Dodgers will
Speaker 4: be removed from the World Series roster. I think it's
Speaker 4: probably gonna be Brent Honeywell and one of the young
Speaker 4: arms down there. They certainly still need to keep one
Speaker 4: of the bullpen relievers to be a long inning bulkeanting guy, right, Yeah, sure,
Speaker 4: you still need one of those guys around. Maybe Brent
Speaker 4: Honeywell survives it makes the World Series roster for what
Speaker 4: he did in Game five of the NLCS. Maybe Landon
Speaker 4: Neck isn't on the World Series roster, one of maybe
Speaker 4: Ben Casparius or Edgardo Henriquez, the young right handed or
Speaker 4: is not on the roster for the World Series. It's
Speaker 4: tough decisions. I mean, Gail Rojas, what do you tell me,
Speaker 4: Gail Rojas if he's healthy. Sorry, you know, we've moved on.
Speaker 4: We've got guys who are just playing great right now
Speaker 4: and Tommy Edman and Geek Aernandez. I mean, these are
Speaker 4: tough decisions.
Speaker 3: I don't think you're I think Rojas will probably be
Speaker 3: on the on the roster. I don't know if he's
Speaker 3: gonna start though, that can can't he can't, right, No, no, no, no,
Speaker 3: huh huh No. He could come off the bench. Somebody
Speaker 3: gets hurt. You could pinch it. He could, you know,
Speaker 3: going for defense late if needed, but not not starting.
Speaker 3: That's not gonna happen. No, no, you can't mess with
Speaker 3: what has been good for this Dodgers team. Exactly, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3: They'll go with the momentum and the flow and hey,
Speaker 3: you think about the whole thing, tim The Dodgers are
Speaker 3: in such a great you know, sans the maybe one
Speaker 3: more pitcher they'd like to have, But other than that,
Speaker 3: everything is going good. They've got the momentum, the stars
Speaker 3: are shining that somebody knew all the time. And get this,
Speaker 3: it doesn't have to be show hey every minute, right,
Speaker 3: that's great about this team. That is awesome.

Speaker 3: Great, he's the best. He's the best guy.
Speaker 4: Tonight we got Jack Flaherty on the mound, the game
Speaker 4: one starter for the Dodgers.
Speaker 3: You know the story.
Speaker 4: Born in Burbank, grew up here in the San Fernando Valley,
Speaker 4: went to Harvard west Lake High School. Was a standout
Speaker 4: high school pitcher. Pitched a Championship CIF victory for Harvard
Speaker 4: Westlake on the mounted Dodger Stadium. Was drafted by the
Speaker 4: Saint Leuis Cardinals, one of the top prospects for them.
Speaker 4: Went to the Orioles went to the Tigers in the offseason,
Speaker 4: signed a one your deal, trying to see if he
Speaker 4: can look cash in After a good twenty twenty four season,
Speaker 4: was traded to the Dodgers at the deadline, pitched well
Speaker 4: for them at the end of the regular season, has
Speaker 4: pitched good for them here in the postseason, and tonight
Speaker 4: he gets the game one. Starting to hear he is
Speaker 4: yesterday talking to the media about his excitement for being
Speaker 4: on the mountain night.
Speaker 10: You control, you can control and go out and prepare,
Speaker 10: you get ready with on the days in between, you're
Speaker 10: ready to go just you know, a different opponent out there,
Speaker 10: and you just you know, treated like you would any
Speaker 10: other series or any other game. So you know, everything
Speaker 10: else stays the same, everything in between stays the same.
Speaker 3: It's just everything on.
Speaker 10: The outside kind of changes crazy. Even you just look
Speaker 10: at California in general, of the guys that have come
Speaker 10: out of here, even some guys that aren't playing. You
Speaker 10: look at Glass and you know, what a what a
Speaker 10: role he played for this team for majority of the year,
Speaker 10: and how much he you know, he'd.
Speaker 3: Love to be out there.
Speaker 10: But uh, you know, the talent overall, and you kind
Speaker 10: of look at it, you know, not even just nationwide, worldwide,
Speaker 10: when you when you add in all the players and
Speaker 10: and and just how deep that this this series is
Speaker 10: with with talent and and and and the guys and
Speaker 10: the names that are out there. Uh, it's the star
Speaker 10: studded as it gets, you know it just uh you
Speaker 10: you got to go out there and execute your pitches,
Speaker 10: and you gotta get.
Speaker 3: Him out in the zone.
Speaker 10: And you know, you just got to keep making the
Speaker 10: pitch after pitch after pitch and not you know, not
Speaker 10: really give in and uh, just continue to execute, continue
Speaker 10: to go one pitch after another, and not you know,
Speaker 10: you don't you don't really group them all together.
Speaker 3: Each pitch.
Speaker 10: You gotta you gotta take it one pitch at a time,
Speaker 10: and then you know, once that one's done, you move
Speaker 10: on to the next one and then move on to
Speaker 10: the next one. So the more that you can slow
Speaker 10: things down, and the more that you can you can
Speaker 10: truly focus on the process of of each and every
Speaker 10: pitch and.
Speaker 3: And and what's going on, I think the better better spot.
Speaker 4: You end up being an All Right, there's Jack Flaherty
Speaker 4: yesterday talking to the media. He sounds grounded, he sounds
Speaker 4: ready to go. He sounds like a guy that knows
Speaker 4: this is a big start, but the moment is not
Speaker 4: going to be too big.
Speaker 3: For him, and I get it. He's tied to hearing
Speaker 3: the whole local boy, come back, local guy coming back
Speaker 3: where he used to go to games as a kid
Speaker 3: at Dodger Stadium. He's done with that. That that narrative
Speaker 3: was cool when he first got here, he was on
Speaker 3: the station talking about that. I was cool. But I
Speaker 3: think he's beyond that. And right now he's just he
Speaker 3: just wants to go out and win. Yeah, he does.
Speaker 3: And you know, it's been a bit trying for him
Speaker 3: so far in postseason. He's made three starts and his
Speaker 3: ERA has been a little over seven with a batting
Speaker 3: average of two fifty four, and it's not great. He
Speaker 3: struggled in both of those NLDS starts against the Padres
Speaker 3: and then most recently against the Mets, where he allowed
Speaker 3: eight runs, eight earned runs, and walked forward those three innings.
Speaker 3: But in the middle of those, Sandwiched in the middle
Speaker 3: of those was a brilliant scoreless seven innings against in
Speaker 3: the NLCS. Right, two hits allowed in Game one of
Speaker 3: the NLCS, So you know which one is it gonna be?
Speaker 3: And he's well arrested. He's of the moment. He's not
Speaker 3: gonna be He's not gonna be tripped up by the
Speaker 3: fact that this is a big, big it's the biggest
Speaker 3: start of his life. But I think Jack's right there
Speaker 3: for it. You know, either one Yamamoto or him, I
Speaker 3: think they'd be ready for it. I think Jack's gonna
Speaker 3: rise the occasion. He knows he can do it. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean that Game one start the in NLCS was amazing. Yeah.
Speaker 4: If he can duplicate that what he did against the Mets,
Speaker 4: that'll be fantastic. And speaking of the Mets, we got
Speaker 4: a little clarification here Saxon about the incident heard around
Speaker 4: the world with Kenny G. Okay, we found an article
Speaker 4: Zach did here in studios found an article from the
Speaker 4: La Times the same it's all about bad national anthems.
Speaker 4: Oh it has said that same year, nineteen eighty eight,
Speaker 4: the Dodgers narrowly averted a clubhouse riot when Kenny G
Speaker 4: performed at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 3: Oh.
