Speaker 1: Now your host for World Series Dodger Talk sound Off,
Speaker 1: Angelinos David.
Speaker 2: Vasse Welcome the Dodger Talk David Bassey live from Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 2: After the Dodgers defeat the Yankees four to two in
Speaker 2: Game three of the World Series. We're with you until
Speaker 2: ten thirty tonight. Full lines are full as you can imagine,
Speaker 2: as the Dodgers are just one win away from bringing
Speaker 2: home the World Series trophy. They have a commanding three
Speaker 2: games to none lead in the World Series after a
Speaker 2: four to two victory over the Yankees. Eight six six nine,
Speaker 2: eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. I mean,
Speaker 2: at this point in time, you would say Freddy Freeman
Speaker 2: is the World Series MVP, right, and it couldn't happen
Speaker 2: to a better guy. I mean, everybody that has met
Speaker 2: Freddy Freeman, works with Freddy Freeman, plays with Freddy Freeman,
Speaker 2: knows how great of a guy he is, and everybody
Speaker 2: is so happy for the way he has been able
Speaker 2: to perform in the World Series. He's been struggling with
Speaker 2: a right ankle, he has had a broken right middle finger.
Speaker 2: Who knows what else Freddie Freeman has been dealing with physically.
Speaker 2: To be able to get on the field and not
Speaker 2: only be there. And I've said this from day one.
Speaker 2: He's not just on the field. He's actually coming up
Speaker 2: big and contributing in a lot of different ways and
Speaker 2: now has home runs and five consecutive World Series games
Speaker 2: dating back to his run with the twenty one Braves
Speaker 2: that won the World Series championship, as well Freddie's two
Speaker 2: run home run, I kind of felt it. I was
Speaker 2: sitting next to Kirsten Watson and just with Clark Schmidt
Speaker 2: starting the game off by walking O'tawi on four pitches.
Speaker 2: I said, Okay, this guy, he's throwing lukewarm fastballs with
Speaker 2: the Dodger hitters told me coming into the game tonight
Speaker 2: Clark Schmidt was a poor man's mind Michael King, and
Speaker 2: I just said, all right, Well, if he's a poor
Speaker 2: man's Michael King, that's Taylor made for Freddie Freeman and
Speaker 2: Schmid tried to throw a cutter. It was up and
Speaker 2: over and Freddy didn't miss it. I actually told Kirsten
Speaker 2: Watson he was going to hit a home run exactly
Speaker 2: where he did, over the Bank of America's sign out
Speaker 2: there in right field, over the short porch in right field,
Speaker 2: so he made me look good.
Speaker 3: What can I say?
Speaker 2: Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is
Speaker 2: the phone number speaking of Freddie Freeman. Let's head downstairs
Speaker 2: right now to hear what Freddy had to say to
Speaker 2: Ken Rosenthal on Fox Sports.
Speaker 4: Freddy, your first hitting homer gave the Dodgers.
Speaker 3: An immediate to nothing media.
Speaker 4: How much did you guys talk for the game about
Speaker 4: importance of striking quickly, putting the Yankees on their heels,
Speaker 4: taking the crowd out of it.
Speaker 5: I think it was more The talk was trying to
Speaker 5: talk about Clark Schmidt, and a lot of us have
Speaker 5: not faced him, so we were just trying a lot
Speaker 5: of emphasis on game planning and.
Speaker 3: Stuff like that.
Speaker 5: And obviously when you come into a road park you
Speaker 5: want to try and to strike early and quiet the
Speaker 5: crowd down.
Speaker 6: We were able to do that in the first sc You.
Speaker 4: Have home runs in each of these three World Series games.
Speaker 6: You didn't have an extra base hit in the first
Speaker 6: two rounds.
Speaker 4: Is it that your ankle is feeling that much better
Speaker 4: or have you simply learned to deal with them?
Speaker 5: No, my ankle is that much better, and that's because
Speaker 5: it's the days off.
Speaker 7: I was able to.
Speaker 5: Calm it down, get some treatment, and then I was
Speaker 5: able to work on my swing.
Speaker 3: That's the key.
Speaker 5: So I've just been able to find my queue and
Speaker 5: you know, I've been seeing them all pretty good now.
Speaker 4: The other thing, home runs in five straight World Series
Speaker 4: games and tied George Springer.
Speaker 3: That's a record.
Speaker 4: So yeah, as you go into tomorrow, Grant, do you
Speaker 4: need one more win?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: But how much does that accomplishment mean to you?
Speaker 6: Just knowing that you've done that.
Speaker 5: I mean, I guess when it's also and done, I
Speaker 5: can look at that. But the most important thing is
Speaker 5: what you said, One more win. That's all I care
Speaker 5: about right now. I don't care how it happens. I
Speaker 5: just want to get one more win.
Speaker 4: Finally, Walker Buler, Oh what did you think for Walker Buehler.
Speaker 5: He's been doing this his whole career, big game, big moments,
Speaker 5: steps up when you need them, five strong, strong innings
Speaker 5: and then our Bollfoot game and did a great job.
Speaker 5: I mean, this is what you gotta do. You got
Speaker 5: to pitch in October and we've been doing that.
Speaker 3: Freddie, thank you very much.
Speaker 2: Good Freddie Freeman with Ken Rosenthal on Fox Sports. Yes, indeed,
Speaker 2: Walker Buehler has been doing that his entire career. Five
Speaker 2: scoreless innings from Walker Buehler tonight allowed just two hits,
Speaker 2: and Walker now has started three World Series games. He
Speaker 2: has pitched at least five innings and allowing just fewer
Speaker 2: than five base runners in those three starts.
Speaker 3: No one else has had three such.
Speaker 2: Starts over his entire World Series career, consecutive or not.
Speaker 2: And Walker Buehler certainly has done a great job. And
Speaker 2: you know, there was a reason why the Dodgers wanted
Speaker 2: Walker Buehler starting the first game on the road in
Speaker 2: the World Series, and tonight was the reason.
Speaker 3: By the way.
Speaker 2: Not only did things go the right way for the
Speaker 2: Dodgers in the first inning, but after that performance from
Speaker 2: Fat Joe, you kind of felt like the Dodgers were
Speaker 2: going to win the game tonight. I mean, they tried
Speaker 2: New York tried to respond with Fat Joe after La
Speaker 2: came strong with ice Cube, and that performance they shouldn't
Speaker 2: have even tried. I mean, that was a big swing
Speaker 2: and miss by the folks in the Big Apple. Fat
Speaker 2: Joe walked by him in the hallway on the way
Speaker 2: back up here. Nice guy, but that fell flat, and
Speaker 2: you felt like the Dodgers already had an advantage after
Speaker 2: seeing that performance.
Speaker 3: Eight six six.
Speaker 2: Nine eighty seven two five seventy is the phone number.
Speaker 2: Then Clark Schmidt walk show Hao Tani on four pitches.
Speaker 2: The guy's got a bad shoulder and doesn't throw a
Speaker 2: strike wild stuff, and that's the part of the reason
Speaker 2: why the Dodgers got the four to two win tonight.
Speaker 2: I thought a couple of big plays defensively. I mentioned
Speaker 2: it with Jose Moda during the Clubhouse Show. We played
Speaker 2: the highlights. Mookie BET's a great diving catch on a
Speaker 2: Jazz Chisholm Liner sinking line drive to keep standing at
Speaker 2: second base, and then standing trying to score from second
Speaker 2: base on a sharply hit ball Anthony Volpi to Taoscar
Speaker 2: Hernandez and left.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: That completely took the win out of the sales of
Speaker 2: the Yankees. Eight six six nine eight seven two five
Speaker 2: seventy is the phone number. Let's start out in Seemi Valley. Nolan,
Speaker 2: you're on Dodger Talk Live from the Bronx.
Speaker 8: Hi Nolan, Hi, heydbdad you love listening to Dodger Talk.
Speaker 2: Oh thanks, When I was your age, I remember when
Speaker 2: I was your age, and the eighty eight Dodgers were
Speaker 2: on the cusp of winning a world championship.
Speaker 3: I'm sure you're really excited.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm very excited.
Speaker 10: I love watching the Dodgers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, who's your favorite player?
Speaker 10: I like Rooky Bet that's.
Speaker 3: A pretty good one. Nolan.
Speaker 2: I got to come up with the handshake with Mookie.
Speaker 2: Maybe you can help me one day.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that'd be cool.
Speaker 3: All right? Will your parents let you go to the parade?
Speaker 3: Will they take you out of school for the parade?
Speaker 11: Maybe?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 10: Probably?
Speaker 3: All right, Nolan, thanks a lot for calling in and
Speaker 3: staying late. Have fun at school tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is
Speaker 2: the phone number we went from a young caller to
Speaker 2: a caller named young in Diamond Bar. You're on Dodger
Speaker 2: Talk live from Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 3: How you doing, young? Hey, Dave doing good?
Speaker 7: Still really emotional right now. I'm just gonna say I'm
Speaker 7: not ready to see Walker Buehler in another uniform next season.
Speaker 7: What he did tonight was incredible. It might have been
Speaker 7: the perfect way to end, like his redemption art this season.
Speaker 7: I mean, Dave, I never lost faith in him, even
Speaker 7: when he had diminished stuff. I just knew that he
Speaker 7: was going to fight his way through it.
Speaker 12: And when you saw in.
Speaker 7: The past postseason how he stepped up. You can find
Speaker 7: guys who might throw his fastball. He might find a
Speaker 7: dude who can fight throw the same curveball as him.
Speaker 7: Maybe you can find a guy who has this cutter,
Speaker 7: but you'll never find a guy who has the bigges
Speaker 7: who can match his big pair in the postseason. And man, sanity,
Speaker 7: I just want to see that guy saying, Man, it's
Speaker 7: just awesome to seeing him grow up in the Dodgers' uniform.
Speaker 7: Man be the big postseason guy that he is right now.
Speaker 2: All right, young, I hope he stays too. We'll have
Speaker 2: to wait and see what happens. But let's just enjoy
Speaker 2: the moment. Let's enjoy what he did tonight and hopefully
Speaker 2: he and the Dodgers can enjoy a second World championship together.
Speaker 2: Thanks for the phone call, young man. He was getting emotional.
Speaker 2: I understand that. I mean, let's wait until that happens.
Speaker 2: There's a good chance the Dodgers will bring back Walker Bueller.
Speaker 2: We'll have to wait and see what happens, but certainly
Speaker 2: he made a statement tonight and the twenty nine other
Speaker 2: teams out there that needs starting pitching. I'm sure certainly
Speaker 2: took notice and talking to Yonder Alonso, the former White
Speaker 2: Sox and Padre player that's now an analyst for MLB Network,
Speaker 2: he wanted me to make a point that tonight it
Speaker 2: wasn't about Walker Buehler's four seam fastball. What it was
Speaker 2: tonight and Jose Motor touched on it a little bit,
Speaker 2: was how off balance Walker Buehler had the Yankee hitters.
Speaker 2: And it started with his cut fastball. The first strikeout
Speaker 2: on Aaron Judge was a cutter. They didn't know what
Speaker 2: was coming. Was it the curveball? Was that the cutter?
Speaker 3: Was it the four seamer?
Speaker 2: He just had them so off balanced because of how
Speaker 2: good his cut fastball was, going away, cutting away from
Speaker 2: right handed hitters and cutting inside on lefties. So the
Speaker 2: cut fastball was the key to Walker Buehler's success. Tonight
Speaker 2: eight sixty six, nine eighty seven, two five seventy is
Speaker 2: the phone number? All right, yeah, here we go, Fabian
Speaker 2: you're on? Is it Fabian or Fabian? Because some guys
Speaker 2: get mad if I say Fabian.
Speaker 12: Hey Dave, thanks for taking my call. It's fabian, But
Speaker 12: don't worry. I've like struggled with that my whole life.
Speaker 2: All right, well, I'm glad we're okay. And you who
Speaker 2: were you telling okay, here we go. You were trying
Speaker 2: to get somebody prepared in the background.
Speaker 12: No, no, no, yeah, sorry, it's just think, yeah, thanks
Speaker 12: for taking my call. You're touching on so much that
Speaker 12: I want to talk to you about. And I feel like,
Speaker 12: rather than hear a knee ramble, it's better to hear
Speaker 12: what you have to say. But I agree at fuddy
Speaker 12: with MVP. As soon as he hit that run, the
Speaker 12: home run, I knew he was gonna I was like,
Speaker 12: this has to be MVP. Walker was incredible. You know,
Speaker 12: everyone's like comparing him to the regular season, but the
Speaker 12: difference between Buehler is that he has the mind he
Speaker 12: has the postseason mindsets. You know, I was hoping for
Speaker 12: him to perform in the in the regular season, but
Speaker 12: every postgame interview you knew she was just holding himself accountable.
Speaker 12: And I'm not surprised by the way he's performing. I
Speaker 12: was at thirty three tips, thirty three taps and silver
Speaker 12: Lake and everyone was being doubtful, Like I'm like, dude,
Speaker 12: he's gonna be on tonight, trust me, Like this is
Speaker 12: his element. I'm going to move through my notes real quick.
Speaker 12: Fat Joe falling flat, trying to go to toe with
Speaker 12: ice Cube. Like just as much as I knew that
Speaker 12: ice Cube that we're gonna win on Saturday, after ice Cube,
Speaker 12: I knew we're going to win tonight after that really
Speaker 12: sad performance. Yeah, that Joe.
Speaker 3: That was brutal.
Speaker 8: It was.
Speaker 12: It was like sad to watch, you know, But it's
Speaker 12: just like, you know, what's the Yankees and you know
Speaker 12: we could you know, not earlier today, and.
Speaker 3: You know, obviously I'm here at Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 2: I mean the fans were on their feet, and I
Speaker 2: feel like they were dismayed. They're like, what is going
Speaker 2: on right now? And I feel like they knew at
Speaker 2: that moment in time they were doomed. And then they
Speaker 2: walked Otani on four pitches with a bad shoulder, got
Speaker 2: a run. I love thirty three taps in Silver Lake.
Speaker 2: I've been there many times. So, uh, if you guys
Speaker 2: are going to celebrate tomorrow night, be safe wherever you
Speaker 2: may be. As the Dodgers are just one win away
Speaker 2: from the World Championship. After a four to two win
Speaker 2: in Game three of the World Series. Eight six six
Speaker 2: nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number.
Speaker 2: A lot of talk about Walker Bueller, and let's head
Speaker 2: downstairs to the podium right now to hear from the
Speaker 2: Dodgers winning pitcher.
Speaker 13: That's kind of like it. It used to be a
Speaker 13: little bit or a little bit closer. Obviously, got a
Speaker 13: couple of swingeen mess early in the game, and that
Speaker 13: kind of resets you mentally to think that I got
Speaker 13: a good one going today or whatever.
Speaker 6: But yeah, I feel good.
Speaker 14: Second rower, your left jack when that pitch does feel good,
Speaker 14: Like what is it about the characteristics of it or
Speaker 14: how you're throwing that you think makes it effective.
Speaker 13: I think it's less about that pitch more than it
Speaker 13: just lets me get into some counts that you're protecting
Speaker 13: the other stuff and then you can throw the bigger
Speaker 13: one with two strikes as opposed to with one strike and.
Speaker 3: Just gives you a little bit more freedom.
Speaker 14: You've talked about like the big game thing, but just
Speaker 14: to have another like strong World Series start like this,
Speaker 14: Like how gratifying are these moments to you?
Speaker 13: You know, I've told you guys, that's kind of all
Speaker 13: I care about, but it makes these It makes kind
Speaker 13: of the regular season worth it for me.
Speaker 6: Could have Russ in the fourth row and you left Walker.
Speaker 12: You talked about late in the season that you didn't
Speaker 12: know at the time if you had the stuff to
Speaker 12: get guys out out.
Speaker 6: Seeing what you've been able to do over the last
Speaker 6: two starts, what do you feel like you've been able
Speaker 6: to find? You know, I think.
Speaker 13: As kind of brutal as this to say, like it
Speaker 13: takes that adrenaline and that stuff to kind of really
Speaker 13: get me going kind of mentally. And you know, I
Speaker 13: don't know if I I wish I would have felt
Speaker 13: that all year. I could tell you I'm so excited
Speaker 13: to pitch every single game I've ever gone out there.
Speaker 13: But there is something different in the playoffs, and I
Speaker 13: think at least long term for me, like to get
Speaker 13: through this playoffs at least in the way that I have,
Speaker 13: like because it's really encouraging for me personally just because
Speaker 13: I know it's in there and I just kind of
Speaker 13: got to unlock it a little bit.
Speaker 3: But that that.
Speaker 13: Feeling of there's an organization relying on me today to
Speaker 13: win a playoff game, I think is kind of the
Speaker 13: way that I like feeling and kind of gets me
Speaker 13: in a certain place mentally that it's kind of hard
Speaker 13: to replicate.
Speaker 14: Stand the fourth run your left, Walker, what's the feeling
Speaker 14: being one game away from a World Series championship.
Speaker 13: I'm excited to watch our guys go tomorrow and see
Speaker 13: what happens. So, I mean, I'll be ready if there's
Speaker 13: a Game seven. But my hope is that I don't
Speaker 13: have to throw anymore.
Speaker 3: All right, there's Walker Buehler. That's our hope.
Speaker 2: To Walker Buehler, and man, that was an aggressive question
Speaker 2: there from that last reporter. I'm in fair question, but
Speaker 2: he came very aggressive on the mic, right there, Walker Buehler,
Speaker 2: I mean, can you think of another big game starting
Speaker 2: pitcher the Dodgers I've had in the last twenty years.
Speaker 2: I can't and over this run of the last ten
Speaker 2: thirteen years. Yeah, Kershaw granky, I guessed, But I mean
Speaker 2: Walker Buehler is in that category. I mean, that's what
Speaker 2: we're talking about. You can't really go back to nineteen
Speaker 2: eighty eight and try to compare anybody to Oral Herscheizer.
Speaker 3: What he did was so unique.
Speaker 2: And remarkable that it won't be repeated with the way
Speaker 2: the game is played today. But what you can do
Speaker 2: is look in the content the way the game is
Speaker 2: played right now, and when you think back, whether it's
Speaker 2: just the Dodgers or any other playoff team that's won
Speaker 2: the World Series the last fifteen years, I mean, you
Speaker 2: would have to say, if there was one guy you
Speaker 2: would want on the mound in a playoff game, Walker
Speaker 2: Bueller would be right at the top of that list.
Speaker 2: Eight six, six, nine eighty seven, two five seventy is
Speaker 2: the phone number.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: I mentioned this during the Padres series, and I'm gonna
Speaker 2: mention it again because I don't want you to forget
Speaker 2: this analogy. And we're all Dodger fans Laker fans. I
Speaker 2: covered the Shack Kobe Lakers very closely, and you know
Speaker 2: those series against the Sacramento Kings. That's what the Padres
Speaker 2: Lakers Padres Dodgers NLDS was a five game series between
Speaker 2: arguably the two best teams in all of Major League Baseball,
Speaker 2: but because of the way the postseason is set up,
Speaker 2: they played each other in a best of five first round.
Speaker 2: Similar to the Lakers and Sacramento Queen. They would play
Speaker 2: each other sometimes in the semi finals, and then a
Speaker 2: couple of times in the Conference finals, and then.
Speaker 3: After that the Lakers would go on to.
Speaker 2: The NBA Finals and demolish whether it be the Pacers,
Speaker 2: the Sixers, or the New Jersey Nets. They swept the
Speaker 2: Nets in the two to three peat finals. That's what
Speaker 2: this World Series feels like. This feels like a very
Speaker 2: overmatched Yankees team.
Speaker 3: The Yankees.
Speaker 2: Yes they had a very good record, Yes they're in
Speaker 2: the World Series. But talking to players around the league,
Speaker 2: there is an argument in a sentiment now that the
Speaker 2: Yankees may not have been one of the top five
Speaker 2: playoff teams in the postseason this year. And it's hard
Speaker 2: to argue that kind of statement. The Dodgers obviously are
Speaker 2: the best team, the Padres, the Braves, the Phillies, the Astros,
Speaker 2: the Mets. There's an argument to be made that the
Speaker 2: Guardians may have been a tougher men for the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: The Yankees just aren't as good as the Dodgers. I know,
Speaker 2: we love Dodgers Yankees hype World Series.
Speaker 3: Trust me, I'm all in on that.
Speaker 2: But the facts are, if you take the pinstripes off
Speaker 2: these players, they're not as good as the Dodgers, They're
Speaker 2: just not as good of a team. And this feels
Speaker 2: like the way it felt for me covering the Lakers
Speaker 2: two thousand and two thousand and two that after the
Speaker 2: Sacramento Kings and the San Antonio Spurs, whoever the Lakers
Speaker 2: were going to face from the East in the finals
Speaker 2: just was going to get demolished. And that's the way
Speaker 2: it feels with the Yankees in the American League. The
Speaker 2: American League was not as good top to bottom as
Speaker 2: the National League. The Dodgers road to the World Series
Speaker 2: was much tougher than the Yankees had And that's the
Speaker 2: way it feels. Eight sixty six, nine eighty seven, two
Speaker 2: five seventy is the phone number. Let's go out to
Speaker 2: Manny and Guardina. You're at Dodger Talk with David vasse Hi.
Speaker 15: Manny heydv echo the sentiment completely about the NBA analogy
Speaker 15: real quick.
Speaker 12: Hopefully somebody gives.
Speaker 15: That young man a hug man. It's gonna be okay.
Speaker 15: I have a funny feeling.
Speaker 3: All over again, Manny, he that was exactly.
Speaker 15: What I was thinking, Dave. But yeah, man, God bless them. Hey,
Speaker 15: they're Dodger fans, so we gotta love them.
Speaker 11: As far as uh I got a man, I think Walker,
Speaker 11: Bueler and Tale he'll be Dodgers for a few more
Speaker 11: years because uh, Fredo and and Doc understand that this
Speaker 11: team is really becoming a family.
Speaker 16: I love the stuff that Max.
Speaker 15: Months he lets us in on man, he's awesome telling
Speaker 15: us about like just the cohesiveness of this unit.
Speaker 11: And uh, I'm just loving the ride.
Speaker 15: Man, and you always do an excellent job.
Speaker 17: Thank thank you for the inside TV always you're the
Speaker 17: best man. As far as la, there's a lot of pretenders,
Speaker 17: but you know you're the Dodgers' number one analyst.
Speaker 15: There is no bs.
Speaker 11: Hey, Man, love you and we've been saying it for
Speaker 11: a while now.
Speaker 15: This is our year, baby, twenty twenty four World champs
Speaker 15: out world.
Speaker 3: Ah that sounds great. Man.
Speaker 2: Well, we'll talk to you hopefully after the game tomorrow night,
Speaker 2: and hopefully I'm freezing cold with champagne when we're doing
Speaker 2: Dodger Talk tomorrow night. As far as Tioscar Hernandez goes, look,
Speaker 2: there's a very good chance another team comes in and
Speaker 2: pays him big money. That's the reason why he bet
Speaker 2: on himself and only took a one year deal. From
Speaker 2: the Dodgers. Other teams were low balling him. He felt
Speaker 2: like he deserved more, so he said, you know what,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna sign with a team that has a chance
Speaker 2: to win the World Series, and I'm going to prove.
Speaker 3: To everybody how good of a player I am. Now.
Speaker 2: Ta Oscar Hernandez is thirty two years old. The Dodgers,
Speaker 2: they may or may not sign him, But one thing
Speaker 2: I could tell you about Taoscar Hernandez and this team.
Speaker 3: He's a perfect fit.
Speaker 2: Taoscar Hernandez is not hitting thirty three home runs and
Speaker 2: driving in ninety nine runs with another team next year.
Speaker 3: He's just not. Part of the reason why he was.
Speaker 2: Able to do this is because he fits so perfectly
Speaker 2: behind Mookie, Freddie Otani and even Max Munsey's He fits
Speaker 2: perfectly in this lineup. And you know what I love
Speaker 2: even more about Tioscar Hernandez.
Speaker 3: It's not just about what he has brought on the field.
Speaker 2: It's the joy, the smile, the camaraderie, the inclusiveness. He
Speaker 2: is really the heart and soul of this Dodger team.
Speaker 2: He has brought this team together. And if you think
Speaker 2: back to the NLDS Game three, Eric Carros gives me
Speaker 2: a hard time still from our debate after the Phillies
Speaker 2: regular season series at Dodgers Stadium. While I question whether
Speaker 2: or not the Dodgers had enough edge to get this
Speaker 2: far and win it, and at that time I don't
Speaker 2: believe they had it, players on this team told me
Speaker 2: things changed in Game three the Nlds when Walker Buehler
Speaker 2: gave up six runs, even though they weren't, you know,
Speaker 2: hard hits, He gave up six runs right came into
Speaker 2: the dugout, threw a cooler of bubblegum, got pissed off.
Speaker 2: That sent a message, and then Taoscar Hernandez the very
Speaker 2: next inning hit a grand slam and screamed at the dugout,
Speaker 2: and that was a sign that they weren't going to
Speaker 2: give up. That was the first sign that Dodgers were
Speaker 2: different than they were from years past.
Speaker 3: And players have.
Speaker 2: Told me that was a turning point, not only in
Speaker 2: that in the postseason series against the Padres, but certainly
Speaker 2: a turning point the rest of the way, and Taoscar
Speaker 2: Hernandez and.
Speaker 3: Walker Buehler were a big part of it.
Speaker 2: In Game three, the Nlds eight six nine eight seven
Speaker 2: two five seventy is the phone number David Vasse live
Speaker 2: a Yankee stadium after the Dodgers beat the Yankees four
Speaker 2: to two in Game three. Let's go out to Utah, Heather,
Speaker 2: You're on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 9: Hi, Heather, Hey Dave, so good to talk to you again.
Speaker 9: Hope you're well and been trying to call in for
Speaker 9: the postseason. And I'm so glad I got through tonight.
Speaker 9: I just have a couple of points. And I know
Speaker 9: you've already touched on a lot of these, but man,
Speaker 9: two of the scariest players in October, Freddie Freeman, especially
Speaker 9: World Series, and now I would say Walker Dealer shoved tonight.
Speaker 9: Can we say that he shoved because he did.
Speaker 8: He's incredible.
Speaker 18: Yeah, he shoved.
Speaker 9: I'm like, I think we're using that right. He looked
Speaker 9: so good and I remember when you reported on him
Speaker 9: back in I don't remember what months July, that he
Speaker 9: was just like Miia somewhere in Florida. And now we're
Speaker 9: watching him have this incredible postseason pitching in the World Series,
Speaker 9: and I'm just so I'm just proud of him.
Speaker 8: I'm like a.
Speaker 9: Proud bomb or something. I'm like, I'm just so happy
Speaker 9: that he has stuck with it and he is a pitcher.
Speaker 9: And Freddie. I've been wearing my Freddy Freeman jersey the
Speaker 9: day we got Freddy Freeman. I've always wanted him to
Speaker 9: be a Dodger. I bought that jersey. I had to
Speaker 9: wait like four months for it to come. I've worn
Speaker 9: it every single day. Probably need to watch it after
Speaker 9: after today or after tomorrow hopefully, but I've worn that jersey.
Speaker 9: And I just love Freddy and all that he stands for,
Speaker 9: and like he really is doing this incredible back to
Speaker 9: back to back home run thing that we really need
Speaker 9: to step back and say, we're so lucky that we
Speaker 9: have Freddy Freeman. And I'm just I'm just really happy
Speaker 9: right now to be a Dodger fan and just to
Speaker 9: see what these guys have been through. I know there's other,
Speaker 9: you know, worst injuries that we've seen, but they really
Speaker 9: had some adversity, and I just love that they're together
Speaker 9: as a Dodger family and they are going to bring
Speaker 9: this world series home for us.
Speaker 16: I hope.
Speaker 9: So one more win, twenty seven more else, Let's go Dodgers.
Speaker 2: All right, Heather, thanks for the phone call, appreciate it.
Speaker 2: I can't agree with you more. Freddy Freeman's a tremendous guy.
Speaker 2: He wears the uniform with class. He's a first class person.
Speaker 2: And just love how committed he is to the game
Speaker 2: of baseball and so committed to the Dodgers, and.
Speaker 3: We're seeing it right now.
Speaker 2: And he told Ken Rosenthal, and he actually told us
Speaker 2: this before the World Series started. Part of the reason
Speaker 2: why he wasn't swinging the batwell in the NLCS is
Speaker 2: because his right ankle was preventing him from working on
Speaker 2: his swing to get it back on track. The five
Speaker 2: or six days between the last time he played in
Speaker 2: the NLCS and Game one of the World Series got
Speaker 2: his right ankle ready and also allowed him to start
Speaker 2: to make the mechanical adjustments he needed to make to
Speaker 2: be able to perform the way he has in the
Speaker 2: first three games of the World Series. And I don't
Speaker 2: if the Dodgers win tomorrow, you know, somebody could hit
Speaker 2: three home runs, I would still say Freddie Freeman is
Speaker 2: the World Series MVP eight six, six, nine eighty seven,
Speaker 2: two five seventy is the phone number. Let's go out
Speaker 2: to Christine and Sierra Madre. You're on Dodger Talk Live
Speaker 2: from the.
Speaker 10: Bronx, that's so awesome. First of all, I just want
Speaker 10: to start off by saying I'm feel bad for all
Speaker 10: those Yankee fans when Fat Joe came out, I kind
Speaker 10: of felt too.
Speaker 3: They wanted more, they wanted more.
Speaker 10: I mean I was like, Okay, Billy Joel's going to
Speaker 10: come out if somebody else better going to come out.
Speaker 10: But when in fact Joe came out, I mean, he
Speaker 10: could have gotten that place dumping and that was pretty sad.
Speaker 19: So I started off.
Speaker 10: But yeah, Walker Viewer, that guy he has three startings
Speaker 10: out of his starts in the World Series, so he
Speaker 10: has that experience. I knew that going in he was
Speaker 10: going to be confident. He was going to be calm,
Speaker 10: cool and collected, and he showed up and showed out.
Speaker 10: But what I really want to talk about is Tomorrow's
Speaker 10: bullpaying game. You know, I'm a little I'm a little worried.
Speaker 10: And the only reason why I would say I'm a
Speaker 10: little worried is because I know that sometimes Roberts he
Speaker 10: gets a little anxious, He gets a little like, gets
Speaker 10: a little worried, so he'll pull a picture in before
Speaker 10: they're before they're done, they let one run in and
Speaker 10: He's like, oh yeah, let's let's let's get them out,
Speaker 10: And so I wanted to talk about that. What do
Speaker 10: you think?
Speaker 2: Well, I think when it comes to a bullpeny game,
Speaker 2: there's certain hoopings of hitters and that's the plan that
Speaker 2: they have. So in a bullpen game, I don't have
Speaker 2: any issues with that. You can't push relievers too far,
Speaker 2: especially if you may need them the next night. I
Speaker 2: thought maybe Walker Bueler could have gone out for one
Speaker 2: more inning, but it worked out well tonight, Christine. So
Speaker 2: I think Dave Roberts is pushing all the right buttons
Speaker 2: at this point.
Speaker 3: Thanks for the phone call.
Speaker 2: Eight six six nine eighty seven two five seventy is
Speaker 2: the phone number, you know. I meant to tell Mookie
Speaker 2: Betts that his buddy Big Poppy over there because they're
Speaker 2: still on set. Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, and David Ortiz,
Speaker 2: all of those guys picked the Yankees to win tonight.
Speaker 2: I got a text from my father in law, Rob Blackman,
Speaker 2: who was watching the broadcast, and he said, you got
Speaker 2: to call these guys out.
Speaker 3: Jeter picked the Yankees to win seven to three. Shocker A.
Speaker 3: Rod picked the Yankees to win tonight.
Speaker 2: Eight to three shocker and Big Poppy picked the Yankees,
Speaker 2: but he did not predict to score. So I'm calling
Speaker 2: all three of those guys out. Two of them are Yankees.
Speaker 2: I mean they're here at Yankee Stadium. The Yankee fans
Speaker 2: were calling their names out Jeter throughout the first pitch.
Speaker 2: I mean that Fox panel right there. I would say
Speaker 2: they're not very biased and very emotional. They do a
Speaker 2: pretty good job of calling it down the line, and
Speaker 2: I think a Rod knows the game really well. But
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, guys, really picking the Yankees seven
Speaker 2: to three, eight to three winners with Walker Bueller on
Speaker 2: the mound, have you not been paying attention? Eight six
Speaker 2: six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number.

Speaker 2: in two thousand and two eight six, six ninety seven,
Speaker 2: two five seventy is the phone number. We'll get back
Speaker 2: to your phone calls in a moment, but first let's
Speaker 2: hear from manager Dave Roberts.
Speaker 3: Fact.
Speaker 21: That couldn't have gone any better for you guys or
Speaker 21: for show you right, I mean, what was your assessment
Speaker 21: of of how he was able to weather through swinging
Speaker 21: at the plate and what you saw in all of it.
Speaker 22: I thought he did a really nice job of competing
Speaker 22: I don't think that you know, it got any worse obviously,
Speaker 22: just him in the batter's box, starting the game off,
Speaker 22: getting on base by way of walk, and yeah, I
Speaker 22: just really appreciate him, you know, posting tonight.
Speaker 6: Far back on your left, Dave, AJ.
Speaker 14: Dave, what can you say about what Walker did tonight
Speaker 14: and really what your rotation has done all series?
Speaker 6: When I think some people in the outis had considered it
Speaker 6: maybe a weakness coming into.
Speaker 22: It, Walker was fantastic. I think, if you know, if
Speaker 22: you take out that second inning where we didn't play
Speaker 22: good defense behind him, he would have thrown up nothing
Speaker 22: but zero's in the postseason. Tonight, I just thought his
Speaker 22: stuff was as good as it's been all year. I
Speaker 22: thought the fastball had life, the cutter was good, the
Speaker 22: curve ball was good. He pitched all quadrants and kept
Speaker 22: those guys on as kept at bay. There was no stress.
Speaker 22: So just to get through five innings the way he
Speaker 22: threw the baseball, I felt that's all he had. Obviously,
Speaker 22: there was a little bit of kind of emotions adrenaline,
Speaker 22: and I couldn't have asked for anything more from Walker tonight.
Speaker 6: The surder on your left, Dylan Dave.
Speaker 8: We saw Tony, you know, wins sing a couple of
Speaker 8: times after some of those swings. Did you get a
Speaker 8: sense of like how much physical discomfort he was in tonight?
Speaker 22: I don't know how much, but yeah, you know, balls
Speaker 22: that were away that he chased a little bit.
Speaker 3: I saw a couple of winses.
Speaker 22: But I think it's sort of pointless even for me
Speaker 22: to even consider because he's going to be in there tomorrow.
Speaker 2: All right, there's manager Dave Roberts, no chance show. Hey,
Speaker 2: Otani is missing Game four with a chance to win
Speaker 2: the World Series. And look, from what I understand Otani well,
Speaker 2: I was told yesterday before we took off for New York.
Speaker 3: I was not on the team plane.
Speaker 2: I was on the same plane with some of the
Speaker 2: Dodgers front office people, and they told me they couldn't
Speaker 2: believe how well Otani was doing yesterday, and that's why
Speaker 2: they were so optimistic that he would be in the
Speaker 2: starting lineup tonight, even though it was twenty four hours
Speaker 2: before and Otani came to Yankee Stadium yesterday for the
Speaker 2: workout the rest of the team had finished, because he
Speaker 2: flew in on his own as well. After getting an
Speaker 2: MRI and getting treatment. He flew to New York and
Speaker 2: got to Yankee Stadium, worked out, took some swings just
Speaker 2: to test that left shoulder, and everything checked out.
Speaker 3: So all the boxes were checked.
Speaker 2: To and look, what needs to be done with that
Speaker 2: left shoulder after the season still remains to be seen.
Speaker 2: I mean, we've heard of players from Handling Ramirez to
Speaker 2: Matt Camp to Cody Bellinger that have needed to have
Speaker 2: their shoulders repaired when you hear it pop in and out.
Speaker 2: We'll see if that happens with Otani. But nonetheless, he
Speaker 2: is a DH. He's not out there like Cody Bellinger
Speaker 2: or these other guys.
Speaker 3: He's a DH.
Speaker 2: So after is at bat, he can spend all that
Speaker 2: time getting treatment to loosen up that left shoulder and
Speaker 2: have it ready for his next at bat. Now, if
Speaker 2: he's playing the outfield or the infield or even pitching,
Speaker 2: it may have been a different story, but it's not.
Speaker 3: It's not that situation when.
Speaker 2: You're a DH and you can go into the clubhouse
Speaker 2: and get treatment constantly in between at bat. So that's
Speaker 2: the good news for the Dodgers, and that's part of
Speaker 2: why Otani is able to play eight six, six, nine, seven,
Speaker 2: two five seventy is the phone number. Viva Las Vegas.
Speaker 2: Let's go out to Sergio, who's on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 12: Hi Sergio, Hey David, thank you for letting me in.
Speaker 16: I thought i'd called a day because tomorrow you might
Speaker 16: be getting drowned in Champagne. So I thought, I thought
Speaker 16: I call the day or else maybe I'd be drunk
Speaker 16: tomorrow after we win.
Speaker 3: But I wanted to touch on good reasons.
Speaker 16: I wanted to touch on Walker. Bueler like a lot
Speaker 16: of the previous callers have said tremendous outing, and I
Speaker 16: was looking at his doubting today. He only allowed one
Speaker 16: leadoff hitter to get on. That was labora tourist, to
Speaker 16: lead off the game. So I think that's a big key.
Speaker 16: But not only not only Walker, but the previous in
Speaker 16: the three games in the twenty innings that they've played,
Speaker 16: only six lead off hitters have gotten on and only
Speaker 16: two of scored. The pitching has been just has been
Speaker 16: on it this postseason. I think that that, uh, the
Speaker 16: sixth run inning in San Diego kind of maybe you know,
Speaker 16: flip something there for Walker came the game one sixty three. Walker,
Speaker 16: So it's great to see him excel and hopefully it's
Speaker 16: not the last game. I'm hoping it is the last
Speaker 16: gaming pitches this year. Hopefully it's not the last gaming
Speaker 16: pitches in a Dodger uniform. But of course the offseason
Speaker 16: will be you know, we'll have to wait and see
Speaker 16: what happens in the offseason. And then yeah, ice cube
Speaker 16: for the for the young man, the young student that
Speaker 16: called you the first caller, a little, a little, a
Speaker 16: little formula ice cube greater than fat Joe. Thanks David,
Speaker 16: have a great tomorrow, and hopefully we win it all tomorrow.
Speaker 16: Go Dodgers.
Speaker 2: All right, Sergio, thanks for the phone call. Uh yeah,
Speaker 2: Sergio just wanted to get on and say all those things.
Speaker 2: Got nothing to say about him. It's he did have
Speaker 2: good nuggets though, as far as uh, not allowing the
Speaker 2: leadoff hit or on, that's true and a big reason why.
Speaker 2: In the first three games of the World Series, the
Speaker 2: Dodgers starters have combined to pitch sixteen and two thirds
Speaker 2: innings and allowed just three earned runs. They have fourteen
Speaker 2: strikeouts and five walks. It's starting with Jack Flaherty continued
Speaker 2: in a big way with Yamamoto in Game two, and
Speaker 2: Walker Bueller doing Walker Buehler things, pitching five scoreless innings
Speaker 2: at Yankee Stadium. And when I saw Walker Bueller go
Speaker 2: out to warm up for the game, the booze were.
Speaker 2: I mean, it was like it was the middle of
Speaker 2: the game, the way he was being boo just walking
Speaker 2: out there for his pregame warm up bullpen. And I know,
Speaker 2: Walker Buehler, those Yankee fans got him ready by the
Speaker 2: way they showered him with booze on the inside. I
Speaker 2: know he was smiling and smirking and say, all right,
Speaker 2: I'll be ready when we get this game going, and
Speaker 2: he certainly was. His cutter was on point, his curve
Speaker 2: ball was on point. Yonder Alonzo told me those were
Speaker 2: the two biggest pitches for him, especially the cut fastball.
Speaker 2: Let's go out to Rancho Palas Verdes. That's Petro's Papadakis
Speaker 2: rent area. How you doing, Eddie, you're at Dodger Talk.
Speaker 8: Yes it is, yes, Yes, Petro's from my hometown here.
Speaker 12: Uh yeah.
Speaker 8: This is gonna be uh my.
Speaker 12: Fourth or fifth World Series if.
Speaker 8: The Dodgers win, uh this series, and they probably will,
Speaker 8: I know that they will. They're no stopping this this
Speaker 8: year's team.
Speaker 2: Are you gonna watch Game four tomorrow, Eddie. Where you
Speaker 2: gonna watch Game four? Going over Petro house? Where are
Speaker 2: you gonna watch it?
Speaker 8: I wish so his dad too. His dad is very
Speaker 8: big sports fan.
Speaker 3: I like his dad a lot more than I like Petros.
Speaker 3: I love.
Speaker 8: No, But no, I'm gonna be at the comforts of
Speaker 8: my own home with my wife. And we're big Dodger fans.
Speaker 8: I made her when I first met her.
Speaker 12: Uh she was.
Speaker 8: I made her into a Dodger fan back in seventy
Speaker 8: four when we first met. And uh, we got to
Speaker 8: watch those Dodgers that never made They made the World
Speaker 8: Series but never won in the But no, and but
Speaker 8: like I said, all right, I love it.
Speaker 2: Seventy four was the first year they went to the
Speaker 2: World Series. And you better call back tomorrow, Eddie when
Speaker 2: they win the World Series.
Speaker 8: Well, they beat they beat in sixty three. They beat
Speaker 8: the Yankees then, which I watched.
Speaker 12: They swept the Yankees in sixty three.
Speaker 6: What's that?
Speaker 2: They swept the Yankees in sixty three. That was the
Speaker 2: one and only time the Dodgers celebrated a World Series
Speaker 2: championship on their home field when they swept the sixty
Speaker 2: three Yankees. With Mickey Mannel and Roger Maris and all
Speaker 2: those guys the Dodgers. If they sweep this World Series,
Speaker 2: they'll be celebrating again in the Bronx, just like our
Speaker 2: own Rick Monday did across the street at the old
Speaker 2: Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 3: Let's go out to.
Speaker 2: Kevin in LA. You're on Dodger Talk Live from Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 19: Hi, Kevin, Hey Dave. I don't have any questions tonight,
Speaker 19: but word on that Fat Joe performance. My wife said
Speaker 19: the same thing. That was a big miss. Anyway, thank
Speaker 19: you for taking my call tonight. Not going to ask
Speaker 19: how you are doing because we already know. I usually
Speaker 19: do the podcast the next day, but tonight I had
Speaker 19: a call. I just want to say. I just want
Speaker 19: to shout out you, Tim Kate, Steve sax Scab in
Speaker 19: the morning, Jose Model, and the rest of the crews
Speaker 19: that's been there all season long. I just want to
Speaker 19: thank all for Steve Nelson and mister Rick Monday for
Speaker 19: calling the games on a five seven you know again,
Speaker 19: thank you, thank you again. I just want to give
Speaker 19: a big shout out to Walker. The kid has been
Speaker 19: baling all year, you know, especially this postseason. We needed
Speaker 19: that we needed that dog on the mountain tonight, and
Speaker 19: I just want to echo what you've been saying this
Speaker 19: whole road series. Man, the Dodgers are a way better
Speaker 19: team doing all the little things, especially on defense, man
Speaker 19: both Tail and Moki keeping us in the game on
Speaker 19: the fourth evening. Man, I'm happy for everyone, you know. Again,
Speaker 19: thank you so much. Hopefully the Dogs and keep us
Speaker 19: in the game closing this out and let's get this
Speaker 19: win in New York. Thank you so much, Dave. Good night. Man.
Speaker 3: All right, Kevin, thank you for the phone call.
Speaker 2: I know we all want the Dodgers to sweep tomorrow,
Speaker 2: at least I do, because it would be great to
Speaker 2: celebrate a championship. It would be great to have a
Speaker 2: parade for the Dodgers for the first time since nineteen
Speaker 2: eighty eight. But also it would mean I would make
Speaker 2: it back for trick or treating with my kids on Halloween,
Speaker 2: which is Thursday. So fingers crossed, the Dodgers can deliver
Speaker 2: a sweep and I could get home for a Halloween
Speaker 2: and we could party in La. Eight six six nine
Speaker 2: eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. Freddie
Speaker 2: Freeman with another home run tonight, He has homered in
Speaker 2: the first three games of the World Series, including his
Speaker 2: now iconic walk off Grand Slam in Game one and
Speaker 2: the tenth inning that will go down as one of
Speaker 2: the greatest moments in Dodger history. If the Dodgers can
Speaker 2: finish the Yankees off, whether it be tomorrow, Game five,
Speaker 2: or at some point in this series, I don't see
Speaker 2: it coming back to La even if the Dodgers lose tomorrow.
Speaker 2: I see this ending in game four or Game five.
Speaker 2: And I have a video that was shot before the
Speaker 2: World Series started, a Freddie Freeman taking batting practice. When
Speaker 2: the Dodgers win the World Series, that will be the
Speaker 2: time that I will post it on my Instagram at
Speaker 2: officially vassa and maybe you will get a little sneak
Speaker 2: preview of what the Dodgers already knew, that Freddie Freeman
Speaker 2: was healthy and swinging the bat, ready to go for
Speaker 2: the World Series. I can't wait to show that video,
Speaker 2: but right now is not the right time. I'll wait
Speaker 2: until after the Dodgers officially win it. And look, I
Speaker 2: don't feel like we're being presumptuous. The Yankees are down three.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers are a much better team than the Yankees.
Speaker 2: It's not a matter of if. It's a matter of
Speaker 2: when the Dodgers win the World Series. Let's go out
Speaker 2: to Pasadena, Eddie.
Speaker 3: You're on Dodger Talk. How you doing, Eddie.
Speaker 23: Good David that you've for taking my call.
Speaker 3: I appreciate it, my pleasure, you know.
Speaker 23: I just want to say, I'm so proud of this team.
Speaker 23: As a Dodger fans. It's amazing to see them pull
Speaker 23: together and get this far. Honestly, I'm pretty shocked, you know,
Speaker 23: especially with the teams you've had since twenty sixteen twenty
Speaker 23: seventeen to fall short. And even though we got the
Speaker 23: series in twenty twenty, you know, there's always those people
Speaker 23: out there that say, wasn't the full season or whatever,
Speaker 23: even though thirteen would have won, obviously would have been
Speaker 23: valid for them, right. So yeah, I'm just so happy
Speaker 23: either way.
Speaker 2: I just feel like everybody, you know, it's one thing
Speaker 2: to have a team that wins the World Series, Eddie,
Speaker 2: but I feel like all of you have started to
Speaker 2: appreciate the personalities on this team and just the commitment
Speaker 2: these guys have to each other and to bring a
Speaker 2: World Series championship.
Speaker 3: I feel at different points in time.
Speaker 2: During the regular season, these guys were not as appreciated
Speaker 2: as they should have been. And there are a few
Speaker 2: people if you've been listening all season long, especially later
Speaker 2: in the year, I told you to believe in this team.
Speaker 2: This team was different, and these guys are proving me right.
Speaker 3: I didn't. I don't just say those things. There was
Speaker 3: something different from the previous two postseasons. Whatever it is.
Speaker 2: I feel like these guys were more all in with
Speaker 2: each other, more all in to try to win it
Speaker 2: than they have been the last couple of years.
Speaker 3: And it's proven out to be true.
Speaker 23: Yeah, David is completely right.
Speaker 18: You know.
Speaker 23: Ever since the Max Month's interview came out, I feel like,
Speaker 23: you know, all the fans realized that these players are
Speaker 23: humans and that you know, they're going through their own
Speaker 23: stuff and they're really locked it down, pulled together and
Speaker 23: got closed and that team chemistry is showing on the
Speaker 23: field and you know, hopefully we'll lock it down tomorrow.
Speaker 23: It's not Game five and we can all stop listening
Speaker 23: to stephen A. Smith pretend to know that he knows baseball.
Speaker 2: Yeah right, Yeah, I appreciate that, Eddie. He's a Yankee
Speaker 2: fan too. Anyway, all these people in New York are
Speaker 2: going to be sad, sadder than what they were tonight
Speaker 2: while Fat Joe was performing a clunker. Nine eighty seven,
Speaker 2: two five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers beat the Yankees.
Speaker 3: Four to two. Today was a good day. Juan Soto
Speaker 3: oh for three.
Speaker 2: Tonight, Aaron Judge, his miserable postseason continued, Oh for three.
Speaker 3: He's hitting ninety one in the World Series.
Speaker 2: John Carlos Stanton from the Grade one eight only Yankee
Speaker 2: to show up in this World Series. He's two for
Speaker 2: four tonight, and Alex Verdugo hit a two run home
Speaker 2: run with two outs in the ninth inning off of
Speaker 2: Michael Kopex.
Speaker 3: So that's how the Yankees got their two runs.
Speaker 2: Eight six six, nine eighty seven, two five seventy is
Speaker 2: the phone number. Let's take one more phone call before
Speaker 2: we say goodnight. Greg and Corona walk us off. Make
Speaker 2: me feel good.
Speaker 18: Hey, Dave, Hey, just first off, just want to give
Speaker 18: a shout out.
Speaker 11: To you and Kate.
Speaker 18: You guys are putting in some work. I can't you're
Speaker 18: you're in the Bronx right now. It's I don't know
Speaker 18: what if it twelve one one of the Monk. Yeah,
Speaker 18: you guys, said Don Cucko's burban. And I'm up in
Speaker 18: the morning with like doing dad duties and we're going
Speaker 18: to work and everything. And I'm up with I'm up
Speaker 18: with those guys with scam and here I am at
Speaker 18: night with you.
Speaker 12: It's awesome.
Speaker 18: You guys are you guys are awesome? Anyhow, I just
Speaker 18: want to think, yeah, yeah, I was at the eighty
Speaker 18: World sort of the giftson Home Run. My dad was
Speaker 18: at the fifty nine World Series with his dad at
Speaker 18: the Coliseum in the white I took and I and
Speaker 18: I took my son to the twenty seventeen uh the
Speaker 18: Houston Cheaters for Game one. When Kershaw won that Game one,
Speaker 18: I had to. I had to. I had to keep
Speaker 18: it up. But anyhow, I just want to because there's
Speaker 18: already a really buzz about, oh, we're Soto going Dodgers.
Speaker 18: Are you know what? We have the stars that we have.
Speaker 18: I just hope that the front off, everybody learns that
Speaker 18: we already have our stars. We just need the dogs
Speaker 18: that we have around them, like the Edmunds and the
Speaker 18: Taoskars and the Kiks and all that. Like we are
Speaker 18: like this is like it's this.
Speaker 11: This this team.
Speaker 18: Is the fight that we need. And like you just
Speaker 18: said previously, I think two cars ago you saw something
Speaker 18: in this team and they have it, and I just
Speaker 18: I just hope that they continue to do that going forward. Hey,
Speaker 18: job's not saying it's.
Speaker 2: Gotta be careful when you start bringing in too many
Speaker 2: big personalities, too many alphas. U. We saw what Juan
Speaker 2: Soto did in San Diego. He was good for one year.
Speaker 2: But you know, it's not a question of if the
Speaker 2: Dodgers have the resources. It's a question whether or not
Speaker 2: they think Juan Soto is a fit for them. And
Speaker 2: I'm not sure he's a perfect fit for them. He's
Speaker 2: a really good player, don't get me wrong, but uh,
Speaker 2: I'm not going to say Tioscar Hernandez is as good
Speaker 2: of a player talent wise as Juan Soto. But Tioscar
Speaker 2: Hernandez is a better fit for the Dodgers than Juan Soto.
Speaker 18: Dave I did that.
Speaker 12: We have our stars.
Speaker 18: Let's surround him with the best people that we can make.
Speaker 18: The starting pitcher.

Speaker 18: Hey, a friend of Snell.
Speaker 2: Villa's a Dodger. I'm sticking around. If snell Zilla signs elsewhere,
Speaker 2: you never know. Maybe I leave when Kershaw leaves.

Speaker 2: to walk it off. We're gonna wrap up Dodger talk now.
Speaker 2: We'll be back with you tomorrow night. Win or lose.
Speaker 2: After Game four, everybody around here feels like the Dodgers
Speaker 2: are in a great position to close it out and
Speaker 2: sweep the New York Yankees. We could get to all
Speaker 2: the hot stove stuff. It's funny how you guys are
Speaker 2: already talking about things in the off season, living in

Speaker 2: about winning the World Series. Let's celebrate it, Let's enjoy it,
