Speaker 2: nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number.
Speaker 2: Can't be happier for all those players being with them
Speaker 2: since spring training. Just think about where the Dodgers season
Speaker 2: started in South Korea, and I know that seems like
Speaker 2: a long time ago. It feels like another lifetime ago
Speaker 2: for a lot of us, But that's where this season started.
Speaker 2: And here they are headed back to the World Series
Speaker 2: for the first time since they won it twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: And you've heard all these players that were part of
Speaker 2: that twenty twenty team say they want to have a
Speaker 2: parade and that's their determination, that's their motivating factor. You
Speaker 2: heard Dave Roberts say it on the podium. Four wins
Speaker 2: away for the first Dodger World Series parade since nineteen
Speaker 2: eighty eight, and that year they beat the Mets in
Speaker 2: the NLCS as well. Eight six six nine eight seven
Speaker 2: two five seventy is the phone number. We're with you
Speaker 2: until eleven o'clock. Jose Mota is going to join us
Speaker 2: at ten thirty and in between then and now your
Speaker 2: phone calls. As the Dodgers are headed back to the
Speaker 2: World Series against the New York Yankees. It's the twelfth
Speaker 2: time these two franchises, these two story franchises will meet
Speaker 2: up in the Fall Classic. The last time was nineteen
Speaker 2: eighty one when Rick Monday, Steve Garvey, Davey Lopes, Bill
Speaker 2: Russell and those guys got redemption in a six game
Speaker 2: World Series to win the World Series and redeem themselves
Speaker 2: after losing to the Yankees in seventy seven and seventy eight.
Speaker 2: So it's been forty three years since the Dodgers and
Speaker 2: Yankees faced off in the World Series. This is what
Speaker 2: everybody wanted and it will be sweet when the Dodgers
Speaker 2: win the World Series. Let's go out to the phone.
Speaker 2: So we've done a lot of talking. You've heard the interviews,
Speaker 2: really enlightening stuff from Max Mounsey just about everything behind
Speaker 2: the scenes and just what Brent Honeywell has done to
Speaker 2: help everybody, including Mookie Betts during a workout day. Incredible,
Speaker 2: incredible information, incredible behind the scenes stuff. And I love
Speaker 2: Max Muncy. Blake Trenon can't say enough about that guy.
Speaker 2: A six out save to send the Dodgers to the
Speaker 2: World Series. That's Kenley Jansen type of stuff right there.
Speaker 2: And Blake Tryning, don't forget flew back home to welcome
Speaker 2: his third child into the world in between games four
Speaker 2: and five, and here he was sending the Dodgers to
Speaker 2: the World Series. And I told you, Tommy Edmund NLCSMVP
Speaker 2: Tommy Edmund another big night, certainly left no doubt that
Speaker 2: he was going to win that award. Let's go out
Speaker 2: to Dodger Stadium. Mark, You're on Dodger Talk. How you doing, Mark?
Speaker 3: Very well, Dave. I really enjoyed the game was great.
Speaker 4: Of course, I can't add anything to what the players are.
Speaker 5: Saying, Sang, I just have a question going forward.
Speaker 3: You may have covered this already.
Speaker 4: But the status of both Alex Vesia and particularly haven't
Speaker 4: lux because I haven't heard much about him going forward.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Gavin lux is fine. This was just a matchup
Speaker 2: based thing. And as far as alex Vesia goes, there's
Speaker 2: some buzz that I've been hearing amongst players that they
Speaker 2: are not ruling alex Vesia out of the World Series.
Speaker 2: And there's even a chance Bruce star grad Ral maybe
Speaker 2: on the World Series roster. So those two guys have
Speaker 2: been working to come back and they may be coming
Speaker 2: back at the right time. And if you heard from
Speaker 2: Freddie Freeman, he'll be ready to go for Game one
Speaker 2: on Friday. Thanks for the phone call, Mark appreciated. Let's
Speaker 2: go out to Long Beach, David, your aunt Dodger talk.
Speaker 6: How you doing good, DV? How are you, buddy?
Speaker 2: Great?
Speaker 6: What a magical night. You know, this is a team
Speaker 6: that they show him such resilience. You know when they
Speaker 6: went on that losey streak when the league got down,
Speaker 6: I think there was I think the lowes Can got
Speaker 6: down to it was like three games. You know, everybody
Speaker 6: was like, oh, here we go again. You know, everybody
Speaker 6: was doubting Dave Roberts. But you know what, they showed
Speaker 6: the potential and they showed what a national champion, national
Speaker 6: league champion it should be. Now I have a comment
Speaker 6: for you. I have on my phone. Still, I have
Speaker 6: a picture you and I took a picture and catch
Speaker 6: us some money to do their shows over and at
Speaker 6: DJs in Downey. I don't know if you remember doing.
Speaker 2: Still they still do shows from the BJS.
Speaker 6: Oh do they really? Okay? Now my question real quick.
Speaker 6: Cavny determined who the umpires are gonna be for the
Speaker 6: World Series.
Speaker 2: Oh, David, no they haven't.
Speaker 6: Why why is your time? I appreciate it and go Dodgers.
Speaker 2: Okay, very random. I did see that. I uh that
Speaker 2: Dan I as Sonya may be the crew chief of
Speaker 2: the World Series and be part of the World Series crew.
Speaker 2: But as far as who else the members of the
Speaker 2: umpiring crew are, I do not know at this time.
Speaker 2: Let's go out to Gabe who was at Dodgers Stadium tonight. Gabe,
Speaker 2: what a night for you to be out at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 7: I am so glad I got last minute I gets
Speaker 7: and I was able to sneak in with my girlfriend
Speaker 7: and catch the game. The energy was amazing.
Speaker 8: Uh, kudos to the Mets for putting a battle in
Speaker 8: actually called Dodgers and six. So I'm glad I got
Speaker 8: the prediction, I think we've all said it enough, and
Speaker 8: I called it before he came back from injury.
Speaker 7: I've loved Tommy Edmund since he was on the Cardinals.
Speaker 7: I think this kid had a lot of talent. I
Speaker 7: feel like he's the spiritual successor to what Chris Taylor
Speaker 7: was when he was in his prime, being able to
Speaker 7: play multiple positions, get speed, be able to get big hits.
Speaker 7: What a pickup he was. And I think going forward
Speaker 7: into the series with the Yankees, because I do have
Speaker 7: a question for you on your take on that, but
Speaker 7: it's going to be a battle. I don't see this
Speaker 7: series against the Yankees going any less six games. You
Speaker 7: got too many weapons on their side. I still haven't
Speaker 7: seen Aaron Judge come alive, which concerns me, but again
Speaker 7: we have great bolf In pieces that can keep him contained.
Speaker 7: My question for you, and it really has to do
Speaker 7: with the rotation difference. The Mets use a lot of
Speaker 7: deception pitchers and a lot of people who get chases.
Speaker 7: I noticed with the Yankees when you have Radon, you
Speaker 7: have Stroman, and you have Garrett Cole, these are pitchers
Speaker 7: who typically attack the zone a lot more So, what
Speaker 7: do you think is going to be the key for
Speaker 7: the different approach here, and you know how to put
Speaker 7: the ball in play and manage games on a on
Speaker 7: a more live basis than trying to get on base,
Speaker 7: because I don't think the Yankees are gonna give us
Speaker 7: that many walks, but the Mets did well.
Speaker 2: I don't know that yet, Gabe. The Dodgers are a
Speaker 2: lineup the Yankees haven't faced, and the Dodgers have faced
Speaker 2: a tougher road of competition than the Yankees. I think
Speaker 2: we can all agree upon that. And I'm way ahead
Speaker 2: of you as far as Rodn goes, because I've been
Speaker 2: texting with a player from the Al East during the
Speaker 2: NLCS and he told me he doesn't believe that Rodin
Speaker 2: would last three innings against the Dodgers. He is going to,
Speaker 2: you know, probably throw thirty pitches in an inning and
Speaker 2: maybe get three outs during that inning. So uh, I
Speaker 2: just I just don't think Rodn is what you're making
Speaker 2: him out to be. And Garrett Cole is all that
Speaker 2: and more, but the Dodgers are, by by no means
Speaker 2: are the Yankee. He's much better than the Padres or Mets.
Speaker 2: I would say the best team the Dodgers will face
Speaker 2: are the Padres, and the Yankees only had one more
Speaker 2: win than the Padres this year, so don't I know
Speaker 2: it's Yankees on their jerseys, but don't give them too
Speaker 2: much credit, Gabe. The Dodgers match up very well against
Speaker 2: the Yankees.
Speaker 7: I agree, and I think our depth is also a
Speaker 7: big piece of that. And I really really hope Freddy
Speaker 7: Freeman rests that ankle, and I can't wait to see
Speaker 7: him get back to for him because when you get
Speaker 7: you know a show, hey going on the bass path,
Speaker 7: and I think he can test often well. I think
Speaker 7: Mookie will get the runs going on once Freddy is
Speaker 7: able to get that swing back to form, the runs
Speaker 7: will come in on the top three of the lineup.
Speaker 7: So thanks Dave, I always appreciate you.
Speaker 2: Hey, thank you, Gabe. I appreciate you. And the Dodgers
Speaker 2: are headed back to the World Series against the New
Speaker 2: York Yankees after a big Game six win, another blowout.
Speaker 2: All six of these games were blowouts. When the Mets
Speaker 2: beat the Dodgers, they were double digits and not really close.
Speaker 2: In this one, it's ten to five, another blowout as
Speaker 2: the Dodgers win a bullpen game again to send them
Speaker 2: to the World Series. Let's go out to Joel and
Speaker 2: Sherman Oaks. You're on Dodger Talk with David vasse Hi. Joel,
Speaker 2: Hey Dave.
Speaker 9: How's it going, man, I'm so excited for this Dodger
Speaker 9: NLCS Championship win.
Speaker 7: We're back in the World Series. Hell, yes, sir, But I.
Speaker 9: Want to give a big shout out to Tommy Edmond
Speaker 9: because he gives us little guys a freaking opportunity to
Speaker 9: be like. Yes, because I'm a little guy and then
Speaker 9: I used to play baseball my whole life and seeing
Speaker 9: that guy just win the MVP, it just pumps me up, man.
Speaker 5: Because that's just a ballplayer right there, and I love it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. It kind of reminds me of David x time
Speaker 2: with the Angels and Cardinals. He reminds me of that
Speaker 2: type of inspirational you know, baseball. You don't have to
Speaker 2: be Aaron Judges side size to be successful. So that's
Speaker 2: a great point, Joel. Tommy Edmund, he's kind of like
Speaker 2: little David x Stein.
Speaker 9: Yes, sir, he is a ballplayer and that's what we
Speaker 9: needed with the Dodgers right now. Small ball, big ball,
Speaker 9: home runs, whatever it is, he's gonna come up to
Speaker 9: the plane and just work for the team. And he's
Speaker 9: just a ballplayer.
Speaker 10: Man.
Speaker 9: I love seeing ballplayers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he is that guy. That's the way he was
Speaker 2: described when the Dodgers acquired him. And this was a
Speaker 2: really good matchup for Tommy Edmund because the Mets had
Speaker 2: a couple of lefty starters in this series David Peterson,
Speaker 2: Maniah twice and Tommy Edmond is a much better hitter
Speaker 2: from the right side than he is from the left side.
Speaker 2: Let's go out to Don who is at Dodgers Stadium tonight. Hi. Don,
Speaker 2: you're on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 11: Hi, how are you doing today?
Speaker 2: I think we're all doing pretty well.
Speaker 12: Don.
Speaker 11: Well, one thing I wanted to point out was, you know,
Speaker 11: this season, the Dodgers had all they're pitching getting injured
Speaker 11: over and over again, and they still put together the
Speaker 11: best record in baseball. Shouldn't have surprised anybody that they're
Speaker 11: going to the World Series.
Speaker 2: Well, they had a lot of adversity. They had a
Speaker 2: lot of adversity, and you're right, they still finish with
Speaker 2: the best record in baseball. That's just a testament to
Speaker 2: how much talent they had at the major league level
Speaker 2: and at the minor league level. I thought Andrew Friedman
Speaker 2: brought it up. And you know, Ben Caspiraus a big
Speaker 2: part of the Dodgers winning tonight, and nobody I could
Speaker 2: say thought Ben Caspirius would be pitching in a game
Speaker 2: like tonight.
Speaker 11: And for me as a fan, I think that one
Speaker 11: of the most significant things that happened this year was
Speaker 11: the he Hernandez boys. Having both of them on the
Speaker 11: team that has really made a difference.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I really believe te Oscar Keith ke and
Speaker 2: O'tani have really been the driving forces of this offense
Speaker 2: to really, you know, ignite not only the emotions of
Speaker 2: the team, but also perform and carry those guys in
Speaker 2: critical situations. And I can't say enough about show a Otani.
Speaker 2: I know we try to focus on the other players,
Speaker 2: and rightfully so, but how about show a Otani going
Speaker 2: to the World Series his first year with the Dodgers
Speaker 2: after not making the postseason his previous six years, and
Speaker 2: now here he is his first opportunity at October and
Speaker 2: he's a big part of the Dodgers going to the
Speaker 2: World Series. And I gotta be honest with you, the
Speaker 2: interactions I've had with Otani. I've tried to give him
Speaker 2: his space. But while I was trying to search through
Speaker 2: the celebration to get guys to come on the show,
Speaker 2: there was show he Otani drenching first base coach Clayton
Speaker 2: McCullough with beer and champagne. And then I'm standing right
Speaker 2: next to Clayton and Otani dumps more champagne and beer
Speaker 2: on me and gave us both an embrace.
Speaker 5: To me.
Speaker 2: That just shows the awareness the humility that Otani has
Speaker 2: played with with all seasons and long, and he's a
Speaker 2: big part of the Dodgers unity, the humility of shoe
Speaker 2: A Otani eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy.
Speaker 2: Let's go out to Bruce who was at the game tonight. Bruce,
Speaker 2: I hope he stayed all the way through.
Speaker 5: The DV I want to be yes. So my highlight
Speaker 5: of the night I got down here to Taga out
Speaker 5: well after the pestivities, right before they chased us out,
Speaker 5: and Dave's came out and he got a roaring ovation
Speaker 5: and he was tipping his cap to us and blowing kisses,
Speaker 5: and it's just good to see him get some of
Speaker 5: that love and credit and.
Speaker 2: Uh, Bruce think about that, Bruce. When Dave Roberts started
Speaker 2: this season, all he heard of was that his job
Speaker 2: was in jeopardy if the Dodgers didn't get to the
Speaker 2: World Series. Well, here they are in the World Series.
Speaker 2: And if he wins the World Series, isn't he a
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame manager. I feel like he's on his
Speaker 2: way to Cooperstown if the Dodgers win the World Series.
Speaker 5: I think that his record speaks for herself. I think
Speaker 5: he has the highest winning percentage of any manager he
Speaker 5: does in the modern game. And the adversity of this year.
Speaker 5: I know Carlos Mendoza is gonna get a Manager of
Speaker 5: the Year, but they're I mean you, Dave is in
Speaker 5: the conversation year after year, the adversity we dealt with
Speaker 5: last year and lifting it to the playoffs and getting
Speaker 5: bounced out. That's not on Dave. But he pushed and
Speaker 5: pulled all the right buttons. With the pitching staff. Everyone
Speaker 5: was like, we don't have enough pitching, we don't have
Speaker 5: enough pitching here.
Speaker 13: It is here.
Speaker 2: It is Bruce. It's not just about what he does
Speaker 2: in the dugout. It's how he manages and works with
Speaker 2: Andrew Friedman. It's how he manages his relationships with the fans,
Speaker 2: with the media, with everything that comes with being the
Speaker 2: Dodger manager. Being the Dodger manager is not as simple
Speaker 2: as it is to be the manager for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Speaker 2: Bruce and Dave Roberts does a great job of really
Speaker 2: managing a lot of different areas. I can't say enough
Speaker 2: about the job he's done this year. Thanks for the
Speaker 2: phone call. Eight six six nine eighty seven two five

Speaker 2: seven in the six games against the Cardinals. He drove

Speaker 2: six games. He had seventeen total bases and played outstanding shortstop.

Speaker 2: has managed a great postseason and here he was after
Speaker 2: the final out, the winning is manager in modern baseball history.
Speaker 2: How does this one field? Dave? Oh my god, it
Speaker 2: feels so good.
Speaker 16: Dave.
Speaker 17: I'm just so happy that we finally did it at home. Yeah,
Speaker 17: and we could celebrate with our fans.
Speaker 2: How did you navigate this game tonight? It wasn't as
Speaker 2: much of a blowout as the others.
Speaker 17: Now, you know what, I gotta give Crets all these guys.
Speaker 17: You know, all these pitchers were ready when called upon.
Speaker 17: Obviously Tommy had a big hit.
Speaker 2: Will Smith big hit.
Speaker 17: So the players showed out tonight, and again, David, I'm
Speaker 17: just so happy for our players and our fans.
Speaker 2: Dave, this feels like a one through thirty something type
Speaker 2: of win. It does, it does, and I'll tell you.
Speaker 17: Right now, Dave, it's an organizational win from you know,
Speaker 17: we get young players through scout, player development, by way
Speaker 17: of trade. You know, everyone is just a whole organization.
Speaker 17: I couldn't be more excited for everyone.
Speaker 2: Tommy Edmond kind of went under the radar. How big
Speaker 2: was he for you in this series? Oh my god,
Speaker 2: he's been so huge.
Speaker 17: Forced to be able to play shortstop, to be able
Speaker 17: to play center field, you know he does it only
Speaker 17: it's just huge.
Speaker 2: It my man. Moo guy. I love you, baby, I
Speaker 2: love you baby. Oh thank you for everything. Oh so pleady.
Speaker 2: Four more to go, four more to go. There is
Speaker 2: Mookie Betts with Dave Roberts. You got the love from
Speaker 2: your player. I'll let you enjoy. Thank you. Neixs Day.
Speaker 2: There he is Dave Roberts going to the World Series
Speaker 2: as the manager of the Dodgers for the fourth time
Speaker 2: in his career in nine years as the Dodger manager.
Speaker 2: And man, I'm really happy for Dave Roberts and Aaron
Speaker 2: Boone because everything we were hearing about Dave Roberts and
Speaker 2: the pressure on him to win, Aaron Boone was getting
Speaker 2: in New York as well. So the two managers that
Speaker 2: were in the pressure cooker with high expectations delivered and
Speaker 2: they're going to go head to head in the World Series.
Speaker 2: It's the first time since nineteen eighty one, the Dodgers
Speaker 2: and Yankees will face off in the World Series against
Speaker 2: each other. Rick Monday and his teammates beat the Yankees
Speaker 2: in nineteen eighty one in a six game series. Let's
Speaker 2: go out to Diane. Diane, You're on Dodger Talk live
Speaker 2: from Dodgers Stadium. Hi Diane, Hi Dave.
Speaker 6: I called you last week, told you about a last
Speaker 6: minute ticket New York.
Speaker 1: So I just got back last night at twelve thirty.
Speaker 7: But it was so much better winning at home.
Speaker 13: Yeah, it was beautiful, great night.
Speaker 2: It was great. You want to end the series as
Speaker 2: quickly as possible. I wouldn't say anybody felt like this
Speaker 2: was a slam dunk. But the one thing I was
Speaker 2: confident about was that the Dodgers were going to score runs.
Speaker 2: And before the game, a lot of players were very
Speaker 2: confident they were going to hit Sean Manaia And not
Speaker 2: only did they hit, but they also got him out
Speaker 2: of the game early to get to that very suspect
Speaker 2: Mets bullpen, So they were very confident. They scored six
Speaker 2: runs in the first three innings and man, I'm excited
Speaker 2: about Dodgers and Yankees.
Speaker 13: Me too.
Speaker 7: And congratulations to Dave Roberts. I've always believed in him,
Speaker 7: and I've had to take some flak for that, but
Speaker 7: I love.
Speaker 2: Him all right, Diane, thank you for the phone call.
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see Dave Roberts on the city
Speaker 2: Hall steps. But as they said, four more wins to
Speaker 2: get that World Series Championship. Let's go out to MYSA
Speaker 2: in Pasadena. You're on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 18: Hi, Lisa, Hey, David, I just wanted to let you
Speaker 18: to know that, man, I'm so happy that we're dancing,
Speaker 18: were going to the World Series. How did you watch
Speaker 18: right now?
Speaker 2: It tastes great. It's really dry on my skin in
Speaker 2: my head right now, but it feels great. It smells great,
Speaker 2: and it's all about the players, and I'm really happy
Speaker 2: to just be along for the ride, Misa. Those guys,
Speaker 2: I'm here every day with them since spring training. I
Speaker 2: have seen the work that they put in, and lesser
Speaker 2: teams with lesser talent don't put in the daily pregame
Speaker 2: preparation that superstars like Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts put
Speaker 2: in on a daily basis. So I'm really happy for them.
Speaker 18: Yeah, David, thank you for all the hard work you
Speaker 18: put in and given us an inside scoop with the clubhouse.
Speaker 18: Let's talk about that bullpen man like Aaron dogs.
Speaker 2: Why don't you bark like one of those dogs for us, Mesa,
Speaker 2: give us a bark, bark for us. Misa, there we go.
Speaker 2: Thank you for the phone call. Mesa. Sound like he
Speaker 2: really enjoyed this game in the comfort of his home.
Speaker 2: It sounded like he had a twelve pack and maybe uh,
Speaker 2: you know, who knows, maybe some odello's uh really handy
Speaker 2: as that game was going the Dodgers way. Speaking of
Speaker 2: some of the insight from the Dodger clubhouse, I was
Speaker 2: not expecting Max Munsey to uh go into great behind
Speaker 2: the scenes details about Brent Honeywell and the Dodgers and
Speaker 2: how close they have been during this postseason. But here
Speaker 2: was Monsey and Brent Honeywell as we were celebrating in
Speaker 2: the clubhouse. Hey, Honeywell's got that turtleneck on. It's all
Speaker 2: suked with champagne. Brent Honeywell, how does this field when
Speaker 2: is fun?
Speaker 7: Man?
Speaker 19: Winning is the best field in the world, especially when
Speaker 19: you're at the highest level. Nobody else is just two
Speaker 19: teams left the best and best world stage.
Speaker 2: I wanted it my whole entire life.
Speaker 19: Ever since I was a little kid, I've been I
Speaker 19: wanted my whole life.
Speaker 2: How does it feel to be such a big part
Speaker 2: of this Bullpen? I can't do it without him down there?
Speaker 2: I could, I could have done it without. How about
Speaker 2: this guy, Max Mounsey? What would you do without Max Mounsey?
Speaker 2: You ain't here Monsey. This dude man, he had beer
Speaker 2: gums on you a few times.
Speaker 15: Yes, all right, good, just making sure you can't be
Speaker 15: drying this clubous right now, David.
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm got more champagne and beer than you.
Speaker 20: Two.
Speaker 2: Hey, no story for you, all right? This guy through?
Speaker 2: Was it four innings?
Speaker 11: Dirts or two dirts for us?
Speaker 2: In New York?
Speaker 10: He came out of the game.
Speaker 2: What what did I tell you? He said, I want
Speaker 2: this game six? And you were right? How much does
Speaker 2: Brent Honeywell mean to this team? Just everything he brings.
Speaker 2: That's a dog. That's a dog. Our whole Bullpen's dogs.
Speaker 2: But this guy put him in a musition.
Speaker 15: Hey, you need two outs, he's got you. You need
Speaker 15: three innings, he's got you. This guy don't carre, Hey,
Speaker 15: you need someone to throw LIVEVP in San Diego.
Speaker 2: He's got you this.
Speaker 15: Hey, this guy might have gotten movie you.
Speaker 2: That's right, because he threw him LIVP. I don't know
Speaker 2: if you.
Speaker 15: Guys knew that he threw liv P because he wasn't
Speaker 15: he wasn't active at the times he threw LIVEVP Rookie
Speaker 15: Betts started going off.
Speaker 2: Did you throw him a screwball?
Speaker 13: No?
Speaker 2: I fed him down the middle and said, crack that ball.
Speaker 2: That's what I said. I told all three of them,
Speaker 2: I'm throwing it down the middle and I want you
Speaker 2: to hit it as far as you can.
Speaker 20: That's awesome.
Speaker 2: Brent Honeywell might be the undercover MVP of this team. Hey,
Speaker 2: you never know. You never know. This guy's a dog.
Speaker 15: He's one of the heart beats of this team.
Speaker 4: It doesn't get stated enough.
Speaker 2: He doesn't get enough credit.
Speaker 4: This dude's amazing.
Speaker 15: And on the bus, in the clubhouse, in the bullpen.
Speaker 2: This dude's amazing. Don see what does this team mean
Speaker 2: to you? As far as going back to the World Series.
Speaker 2: You were here in eighteen, you wanted in twenty how
Speaker 2: bad do you want to ring for these guys? And
Speaker 2: how bad do you want to bread?
Speaker 15: This is one of the closest groups that I've ever
Speaker 15: been a part of.
Speaker 5: And you know, we had to.
Speaker 15: Get some work to get here, but it's been amazing.
Speaker 15: I mean, this is this is probably the closest group
Speaker 15: I've had.
Speaker 20: Since twenty And you know when.
Speaker 15: You talk about twenty twenty, when you're stuck in a
Speaker 15: hotel everybody for forty five days, yeah, you're gonna get close.
Speaker 2: We're finding a way to do that while not being
Speaker 2: stuck together.
Speaker 15: And this goes back to you know, all the way
Speaker 15: back in Atlanta, we had a team meeting when Tyler
Speaker 15: Glasman got told that he couldn't mention anymore.
Speaker 2: That was a real kick in the gut. But we
Speaker 2: had a team meeting. We say, hey, guys, look around.
Speaker 15: We have all stars, we have Hall of Famers, we
Speaker 15: have guys making a lot of money in this clubhouse.
Speaker 13: We can still do this.
Speaker 4: And we had to get everybody to believe.
Speaker 2: In that, and our season turned right there.
Speaker 15: And then we had the five days off and we've
Speaker 15: talked about that the last two years and we've had
Speaker 15: five days off, Right, we didn't know how to handle that,
Speaker 15: and coming into this year, you know, we tried multiple things. Right,
Speaker 15: they let fans into the stadium for a sip game,
Speaker 15: trying to make it a real situation.
Speaker 2: And this year us as players went.
Speaker 15: To the front office and said, hey, this is what
Speaker 15: we're doing, and.
Speaker 2: We told them what we wanted to do.
Speaker 15: And everyone stresses out about having the five days off,
Speaker 15: and we treated it as.
Speaker 2: A reward, because it is a reward.
Speaker 15: You Brian, for eight months, going back to February spring training.
Speaker 2: This is this is the reward right here.
Speaker 19: We played the best of the bat We said, hey,
Speaker 19: we earned the number one seed.
Speaker 2: It's ever reward. You get five days off as a reward.
Speaker 2: So we wanted to treat as a reward. We brought
Speaker 2: into nice food. We had it unbelievable catering.
Speaker 15: We had fun, We had full table ping pong, table
Speaker 15: papa shots.
Speaker 2: We had a really good time. We were here together
Speaker 2: as a group for eight hours.
Speaker 15: A day, and you know in the past we were
Speaker 15: here for two three hours a day. We tried to
Speaker 15: make it as serious as possible. This year we just said, no,
Speaker 15: we're here together.
Speaker 2: Boys.
Speaker 15: I am not questioning you as a father, you as
Speaker 15: a husband, you as a boyfriend, whatever.
Speaker 4: But give me three weeks.
Speaker 2: I need three weeks out of you to be with
Speaker 2: the boys.
Speaker 15: We're gonna glind through this together for three weeks and
Speaker 15: then you can be the best husband.
Speaker 21: And father you can You've ever beat.
Speaker 2: But I need three weeks out of you.
Speaker 15: So for eight hours a day and those five days off,
Speaker 15: we were here together, just hanging out, have your fun,
Speaker 15: having some food, talking about what we're gonna do as
Speaker 15: gets a pitcher watching baseball. We were just here for
Speaker 15: eight hours a day being boys. And I really think
Speaker 15: that's translated into what we're at now.
Speaker 2: Well said, I think in New York and all three
Speaker 2: of us should share a room. What I think all
Speaker 2: three of us we should hang out spend quality time
Speaker 2: in New York when the series goes.
Speaker 15: There, David, I can't think of anything worse, anything worse.
Speaker 15: I've got your shower with my dad that she's just perfect.
Speaker 2: I'll take that as a maybe. Yeah, all right, Brent Honeywell,
Speaker 2: I hear you a loud and clear man, awesome interview,
Speaker 2: and I can't say enough and thank you to Max
Speaker 2: Monsey and Brent Honeywell for sharing all that with us,
Speaker 2: and look forward to doing it again after the Dodgers
Speaker 2: beat the Yankees in the World Series. I mean this
Speaker 2: is Lakers Celtics. This is similar to what we got
Speaker 2: back in what twenty ten with Kobe and the Lakers,
Speaker 2: reviving that old rivalry between the Lakers and Celtics. This
Speaker 2: is going to bring back a lot of memories for
Speaker 2: a lot of people, and it's going to be epic
Speaker 2: for the sport of baseball. Not only do you have
Speaker 2: the two most storyed franchises in the history of the game,
Speaker 2: but you got the two biggest superstars on each coast,
Speaker 2: Aaron Judge against Shohei Otani, and already they're talking about
Speaker 2: Otani versus Judge. It's going to be the first time
Speaker 2: in baseball history two fifty home run hitters from the
Speaker 2: regular season we'll play against each other in the World Series.
Speaker 2: This is going to be I'm not sure New York
Speaker 2: and LA can handle the magnitude of this World Series.
Speaker 2: This is going to be the most anticipated World Series
Speaker 2: in a very long time. Eight six six nine, eight seven,
Speaker 2: two five seventy is the phone number. Let's go out
Speaker 2: to Calvert, who is at Dodgers Stadium tonight. Hi Calvert,
Speaker 2: You're on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 3: Hey Dave, congratulations. Just want to thank the Dodgers for
Speaker 3: giving my mom and I it's just great memory. On Friday,
Speaker 3: she was not going to go. I was going to
Speaker 3: be up at LA for UCLA water polo. So we
Speaker 3: got I love LA twice today after UCLA won in
Speaker 3: the pool. I just want to thank the Dodgers for
Speaker 3: just an awesome experience, she says to me. After the game.
Speaker 3: We're standing by the number forty two Jackie Robinson center
Speaker 3: field statue, and she says, you know, I remember when
Speaker 3: the Dodgers moved to LA, and just what a memory.
Speaker 3: She decided Saturday, She's like, you know what, you're gonna
Speaker 3: be up here anyway. I want to spend time with you,
Speaker 3: So I'm going to the game and just super shout
Speaker 3: out to greg Aan Calvert. What an awesome memory. It
Speaker 3: seems like Dave Roberts was planning, you know, just some
Speaker 3: confidence and giving Freeman some rest. So hopefully Freeman will
Speaker 3: be ready ready for the series.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think Freddy Freeman is going to miss
Speaker 2: Game one. He's going to have a lot of time
Speaker 2: to work on that right ankle. Thank you for the
Speaker 2: phone call, Cavert, and really Freddy playing in the cold
Speaker 2: weather out there in New York on a bad right ankle.
Speaker 2: I didn't see that going well. And I think being
Speaker 2: back here on the West Coast, he's gonna you know,
Speaker 2: that right ankle is going to respond better. I know
Speaker 2: during the workout yesterday, he hit on the field for
Speaker 2: some You know, Freddy doesn't really hit on the field
Speaker 2: that much, so he was out there to test his
Speaker 2: right ankle and his hitting mechanics and it just wasn't working.
Speaker 2: And I just feel like that cold weather in New
Speaker 2: York really didn't do him any favors. So having a
Speaker 2: full week before Game one and having the first two
Speaker 2: games in LA, he is going to be in there. Now.
Speaker 2: What happens when the Dodgers go back to the Bronx,
Speaker 2: We'll have to wait and see. But it's gonna be
Speaker 2: colder when they go back there. So right now, like
Speaker 2: he's done all postseason, it's day to day. But I
Speaker 2: could tell you I would put all the money in
Speaker 2: the world that Freddie Freeman will be in the starting
Speaker 2: lineup for Game one. Let's go out to Ryan who
Speaker 2: is at Dodger Stadium tonight. Hi, Ryan, You're on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 6: What's going on that day? How are you?
Speaker 2: I think we've established everybody's very happy.
Speaker 3: Ryan, Thanks saber guy.
Speaker 16: I just wanted to take a couple of things here.
Speaker 16: First and foremost you you, Kates and Saxy holding it
Speaker 16: down for the pre and post game throughout this postseason
Speaker 16: run has been fantastic.
Speaker 7: Huge shout out to you guys. Love listening to that.
Speaker 16: Most importantly, three generations of Dodgers fans. I celebrated my
Speaker 16: son's seventh birthday yesterday. I have my whole family at
Speaker 16: the park today celebrating my dad's sixty fourth birthday. And
Speaker 16: what a way to celebrate by punching our ticket to
Speaker 16: go to the World Series.
Speaker 6: Essay, just amazing time.
Speaker 16: Atmosphere was electric. Just couldn't think of a better way
Speaker 16: to celebrate the weekend and celebrating my dad's sixty fourth
Speaker 16: birthday at the park there. So I'll take your question
Speaker 16: off air.
Speaker 7: What I just wanted to know.
Speaker 16: Don't have any brass, No, I'll take my question answer
Speaker 16: off air, offline, But what's your question, Ryan Brazier. I
Speaker 16: don't feel too confident about him in the World Series
Speaker 16: and hopefully we get Vessio back, but yeah, I just
Speaker 16: want to know your thoughts on him.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we got in that middle of the game there and.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers have some decisions to make, especially if Vessi
Speaker 2: and Gradarol are able to come back. But you can't
Speaker 2: discount the veteran presence of Ryan Brazier.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: Those are things that are intangibles and there's always a
Speaker 2: role for a guy like that. Thanks for the phone call, Ryan,
Speaker 2: love hearing the memories and moments that all of you
Speaker 2: have shared today with your family and friends. After the
Speaker 2: Dodgers going back to the World Series and making it
Speaker 2: a special one, Yankees Dodgers for the first time in
Speaker 2: forty three years. No two teams have faced each other
Speaker 2: in the World Series more than the Dodgers and Yankees.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers have one three of the previous eleven nineteen
Speaker 2: fifty five, nineteen sixty three in nineteen eighty one are
Speaker 2: the three that they have won in the previous eleven matchups. Obviously,
Speaker 2: the Yankees got the better of the Dodgers in seventy
Speaker 2: seven and seventy eight, but the nineteen sixty three Dodgers.
Speaker 2: That was the first time the Dodgers and Yankees played
Speaker 2: each other since the Dodgers had moved to California and
Speaker 2: LA and the Dodgers swept the sixty three Yankees in
Speaker 2: a four game series. Eight six six nine eight seven
Speaker 2: two five seventy is the phone number. Let's take one
Speaker 2: more phone call before we check in with jose Mota.
Speaker 2: Eric in Hollywood, you're on Dodger Talk Dodger Net.
Speaker 11: Wow, we are in the World Series.
Speaker 6: I have excited.

Speaker 22: but I alad trust you now.
Speaker 11: I always trust you, Bullie believe. I am excited that
Speaker 11: I'm excited. I am ready.
Speaker 6: All of Docu Nation is ready to root for us
Speaker 6: to take.
Speaker 4: It to the next level. Y, just what do we
Speaker 4: need to do?
Speaker 13: What's next?
Speaker 6: What's the next? What's next?
Speaker 2: Well, what's next is Game one? And uh, I feel
Speaker 2: pretty good that the Dodgers are going to have a
Speaker 2: good Yamamoto on the mound. His best pitch game was
Speaker 2: against the Yankees at Yankee Stadium. And like I said, Eric,
Speaker 2: let's not forget how good the Dodgers are. Everybody already
Speaker 2: is talking about, Oh, the big bad Yankees. No, it's
Speaker 2: the big bad Dodgers. They had the best team, they
Speaker 2: had the best record, They've got home field advantage. It's
Speaker 2: those people in New York and the Bronx and on
Speaker 2: the subways, they're the ones that are concerned. They're the
Speaker 2: ones that are nervous.
Speaker 11: David all along and ah Man all that.
Speaker 6: You always called it, you called it, you called it,
Speaker 6: you called it all right, Yo.
Speaker 2: Dad, I'm ready.
Speaker 11: I believe, I believe.
Speaker 2: I love it. Eric, thank you for the phone call.
Speaker 2: It only took you until the Dodgers going to the
Speaker 2: World Series to believe. But you know, even with Tyler
Speaker 2: Glass now going down, even though Yamamoto was limited to
Speaker 2: pitching only once in a series, the Dodger bullpen. I mean,
Speaker 2: we've been watching them all year long. Uh, they have
Speaker 2: really taken it to another level. And Blake Trining was
Speaker 2: a big part of that. Here is Blake Trining after
Speaker 2: the game and agreed to do the interview as long
Speaker 2: as he could pour six bottles of beer on my head. Man,
Speaker 2: my guy, Blake Trinan doing things that we have never
Speaker 2: seen from another reliever in a long time. How does
Speaker 2: this feel.
Speaker 19: It's just really kind of fun to go out there
Speaker 19: and get a little final out.
Speaker 2: It's a true, definite blessing for an honor to the Dodger.
Speaker 2: We're going to the World Series. What a cool What
Speaker 2: a cool moment's gonna be for.
Speaker 19: Baseball fans to the biggest and most story franchises in
Speaker 19: this of the game.
Speaker 2: I'm excited. Blake six out saved. There's not too many
Speaker 2: guys I could do that. What does it mean to
Speaker 2: you to have you try? I cannot. I'll blink a
Speaker 2: couple of times, Blake. But that's about it, all right.
Speaker 2: I think the biggest thing is just making sure that
Speaker 2: with you our job when we're with you too, and uh,
Speaker 2: I really I don't have a lot of words that
Speaker 2: just do one that's awesome. One he just wanted to
Speaker 2: drench me. Just be honest that you just wanted to
Speaker 2: pour all that on me.
Speaker 4: I'll be honest.
Speaker 2: I did Hey, great color choice of sure, thank you,
Speaker 2: Blake trying to six out save. I'll take it from
Speaker 2: your baby. Let's got that dash, Blake trying to pumped
Speaker 2: up after a six out save. That's that's how dominant
Speaker 2: he has been. I have not seen a Dodger reliever
Speaker 2: be that dominant since Kenley Janssen. That's how good Blake
Speaker 2: Trinon has been. Eight six six nine, eight seven two
Speaker 2: five seventy is the phone number. We're going all the
Speaker 2: way to eleven o'clock. We have lines open, LA. Your
Speaker 2: Dodgers are going back to the World Series. Dodgers Yankees
Speaker 2: Friday here at Dodgers Stadium for Game one at five o'clock.
Speaker 2: Right here on AM five to seventy LA Sports. Jose
Speaker 2: Mota is next. After the Dodgers beat the Mets ten
Speaker 2: to five in Game six of the NLCS, right here
Speaker 2: on your home for Dodger Baseball, AM five seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 1: Dodger Talk is available on AM five seventy LA sports
Speaker 1: dot com, hand on the iHeartRadio app. Back to more
Speaker 1: Dodger Talk with Dodger insider David Basse.
Speaker 14: Dodger didn't feel playing back. The right handed Alvarez is ready,
Speaker 14: so is Lake. Drinan Neil goes for second Alviras swings
Speaker 14: hell bouncer. The second Taylor has it in the glove.
Speaker 2: It's over. It over the Dodgers with the pennant Stephen
Speaker 2: Nelson and Rick Monday. A great call tonight, as the
Speaker 2: Dodgers go on to beat the Mets ten to five
Speaker 2: in Game six of the NLCS and now are headed
Speaker 2: to the World Series to face off against the New
Speaker 2: York Yankees, and I mentioned a few different times the
Speaker 2: Dodgers have beaten the Yankees in the World Series. I'm
Speaker 2: reminded that the only time the Dodgers have won the
Speaker 2: World Series on their home field Brooklyn nineteen fifty five,
Speaker 2: and any stadium in Los Angeles, whether it be the
Speaker 2: Coliseum or Dodgers Stadium. The only time the Dodgers have
Speaker 2: won the World Series on their home field was in
Speaker 2: nineteen sixty three when Don Drysdale, Sandy Cofax, Morey Wills
Speaker 2: swept the Yankees in the sixty three Fall Classic. They
Speaker 2: won that here at Dodgers Stadium, the Dodgers only World
Speaker 2: Series clinching game on their home field. If you go
Speaker 2: back to fifty that was at Yankee Stadium, fifty nine Chicago,
Speaker 2: sixty five Minnesota, eighty one that was at Yankee Stadium,
Speaker 2: eighty eight Game five Oakland, and twenty twenty of course
Speaker 2: a neutral field in Texas. Eight six six nine, eight
Speaker 2: seven two five seventy is the phone number. Let's go
Speaker 2: out now to Jose Moda.
Speaker 1: It's tough to role around the horn with Hosean Mota.
Speaker 2: All right, Jose Mota, Yeah, you're ready Dodgers Yankees first
Speaker 2: time since nineteen eighty one. I'm sure you remember that
Speaker 2: World Series vividly since your dad was on the team.
Speaker 3: Oh how could I not.
Speaker 21: I mean, this thing goes back to what nineteen forty one.
Speaker 21: But I just want to say congratulations to the entire
Speaker 21: organization and first of all to the player is because
Speaker 21: we know the toughest job in baseballs between the White Lions,
Speaker 21: but overall all the work being put in. Moll and
Speaker 21: Steven mentioned the scouts who nowadays are not given enough
Speaker 21: credit on what they do and how they evaluate so
Speaker 21: much time put away from home and identifying players day
Speaker 21: that fit. But man, nineteen eighty one, obviously you know
Speaker 21: Pedro and Ramonse and Steve Jeger and obviously Tommy and them,
Speaker 21: and Reggie and Fernando, I mean Fernando, im My god,
Speaker 21: I'll quit forget about that. But the cool thing is
Speaker 21: that baseball deserves something like this today. I mean, the
Speaker 21: biggest stars, biggest stage, a couple of MVPs, and then
Speaker 21: to have something that really is so marketable all throughout
Speaker 21: that's going to be a tremendous series. It's such a
Speaker 21: blessing to be.
Speaker 7: A part of right now.
Speaker 2: It's a broadcasting Yeah, you're right, great point about the scouts,
Speaker 2: because they've been dispatched to all these cities to try
Speaker 2: to get not only you know pitchers tendencies, but you
Speaker 2: know position players tend to seize and all that. So
Speaker 2: Dave Finley and his group, certainly, Jeff McAvoy and his
Speaker 2: group certainly deserve a lot of credit and give a
Speaker 2: lot of credit to them. And Andrew Friedman for trading
Speaker 2: for Tommy Edman and Michael Kopek. Tommy Edman, as we thought,
Speaker 2: was the NLCS MVP. What can you say about what
Speaker 2: he has meant to the Dodgers this season?
Speaker 21: Some of those guys that, as I was describing today,
Speaker 21: Tommy Hemmer, you might go see him play for a
Speaker 21: game and go, okay, good, good ballplayer. But watch him
Speaker 21: an entire series and then he might go two for twelve,
Speaker 21: but he's gonna do something in that series to make
Speaker 21: you think, I want this guy on my team. There's
Speaker 21: something about this guy that just tells me he's got
Speaker 21: a dou w on him. And you get players that
Speaker 21: are winners, you get players that care and understand their game.
Speaker 21: I mean, let's go back.
Speaker 22: To the San Diego series, Dave Tommy Edman upon himself
Speaker 22: takes it and says, I'm gonna face this right handed pitcher,
Speaker 22: me being a switch hitter and hit from the right
Speaker 22: side because I think you have an advantage.
Speaker 21: Ended up being what an RBI ground up. So things
Speaker 21: like that matter a whole lot. Will you identify guys
Speaker 21: And another point that you made early in the show
Speaker 21: that was a thing driving back. It's not just how
Speaker 21: you and how much money you have and how you
Speaker 21: spend this is who you spend it on that are
Speaker 21: fits to the organization. Andrew Freeman talked about this. You
Speaker 21: got to have guys that understand the culture, defer into
Speaker 21: the culture. Max Munts explained it so well about carrying
Speaker 21: one one another and spending time together, and I think
Speaker 21: it's a great message for modern day baseball and some
Speaker 21: evaluators and even some of the talking heads about Yeah,
Speaker 21: you know what, the culture matters, The chemistry matters. You
Speaker 21: telling me as a teammate that I'm going to be
Speaker 21: good and I'm going to help you out. It carries
Speaker 21: a lot into your confidence as a player. But you know,
Speaker 21: a guy like Tommy Emmon, who you.
Speaker 5: Know very well.
Speaker 21: The dollars identified this past offseason. He goes through the struggles,
Speaker 21: and he went through spring training mode pretty much in August.
Speaker 21: That's not that's not easy to do in the big
Speaker 21: leagues with the expectations that he had on himself being
Speaker 21: a dollar short stuff and noutfielder. But I applaud the
Speaker 21: move internally. What I applaud the most about his game
Speaker 21: is he's going to be the same whether he's writing
Speaker 21: second or seventh or eight about fourth, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 21: He just plays his game.
Speaker 2: You know what's incredible Jose Mota is that for his
Speaker 2: first six years in Major League Baseball, sho hey Otani
Speaker 2: never played one postseason game. First year with the Dodgers,
Speaker 2: he has had a huge impact on the Dodgers being
Speaker 2: the National League champions. Do you feel like his emotions,
Speaker 2: his humility, his thriving in a competitive environment has really
Speaker 2: been the perfect storm for not only himself, but for
Speaker 2: the Dodgers and what we have to look forward to
Speaker 2: in the World Series.
Speaker 21: Listen, Show has been just a great fit because showhe
Speaker 21: wanted to fit with the team. It wasn't about Showy's
Speaker 21: Show and how everybody else was going to accommodate him. No,
Speaker 21: it's about how he wanted to fit with the team.
Speaker 21: And I mean had a conversation with show Hey when
Speaker 21: he was a free agent, conversation with show Hey when
Speaker 21: he arrived about you know, the culture and the team
Speaker 21: and how how many guys he was going to be around.
Speaker 21: They're going to make him better and Dave, I'll tell
Speaker 21: you this right now. And I actually spoke with Shoha
Speaker 21: just a few minutes. He of this environment was gonna
Speaker 21: make himself better because he challenged himself to say, well,
Speaker 21: I want to fit, but forget what I did with
Speaker 21: the other team, with the Angels. It's what they do
Speaker 21: here that want to be a part of it, make
Speaker 21: it special. And after eight hundred and seventy five games
Speaker 21: of not smelling, October to come into and make an
Speaker 21: impact immediately against Dylan Cees and have an impact of
Speaker 21: passing information all throughout the series. I don't know if
Speaker 21: you notice Showy got him based. Oh there's a pitching change.
Speaker 21: He went back to the dug out and it was
Speaker 21: passing in frenship to the guys and what he saw.
Speaker 21: It doesn't matter if he got a base it or not,
Speaker 21: but things like that matter a lot now he played
Speaker 21: his game. It wasn't all about let me carry the team.
Speaker 21: But boy, we talked about the Freddie Freeman's of the
Speaker 21: world and Mookie Bets of the world, and Max Munson
Speaker 21: does allowed him to just fit and well and just
Speaker 21: make his contributions is quite remarkable.
Speaker 2: What a fit, all right, Jose Mota, thanks for the insight.
Speaker 2: Look forward to doing this again for the World Series,
Speaker 2: Dodgers Yankees, everything and more that baseball could hope for.
Speaker 21: Congratulations, Socio, that's a magic word there.
Speaker 2: It is. Thank you Jose Mota. Him and his dad
Speaker 2: were out here today and certainly Manny Mota was a
Speaker 2: big part of the eighty one world champion Dodgers that
Speaker 2: beat the Yankees. Rick Monday, ste I saw Steve Garvey today,
Speaker 2: We saw Lefty, We saw Fred Couples here at the stadium.
Speaker 2: He came in to say hi to myself. And Rick
Speaker 2: Monday saw Steve Garvey today. So it was really a
Speaker 2: star studded event here at Dodgers Stadium. And it should
Speaker 2: be a wild atmosphere on Friday, Game one at Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 2: And I gotta tell you, during the Padres Series, I
Speaker 2: tried to give you fans a little lesson about fan etiquette.
Speaker 2: When Jerks and Profar went into the right field short
Speaker 2: wall field seats to try to catch Mookie Betts home run,
Speaker 2: the fans got out of the way. No, We explained
Speaker 2: to you, it's fair play to slap the glove the ball.
Speaker 2: Get it out of their gloves. If the same thing
Speaker 2: happens again tonight, you know the team. When the Yankees
Speaker 2: are trying to get their PitchCom going, the catcher sends
Speaker 2: the sign to the pitcher. That is the time. Similar
Speaker 2: to when you're at a football game and the defense
Speaker 2: for your team is in the red zone. The fans
Speaker 2: on that end of the stadium make incredible amount of
Speaker 2: noise to make it more difficult for the offense to communicate.
Speaker 2: Same thing. In Game one and Game two here at
Speaker 2: Dodgers Stadium for the Yankee series, be as loud as
Speaker 2: you can when the Dodgers are at the plate before
Speaker 2: anything happens, because that makes it a lot harder for
Speaker 2: the catcher and the pitcher and everybody else to hear
Speaker 2: the PitchCom in their heads, which disrupts their rhythm. So
Speaker 2: there you go. Oh, you know they have the rules
Speaker 2: of conduct. I just gave you two things that are
Speaker 2: very much within the rules of conduct. Let's go out
Speaker 2: to the phones again, Leon and Beverly Hills. You're on
Speaker 2: Dodger Talk.
Speaker 12: Hi, Leon, Hey Dave, is this like the most unbelievable
Speaker 12: bullpen that we've ever had? I mean, you've got like
Speaker 12: four or five guys that you would say, you know,
Speaker 12: if you need three outs in any given situation, you'd
Speaker 12: be more than comfortable giving them the ball. And I
Speaker 12: gotta say that, like, you know, the best.
Speaker 2: Bullpen the Dodgers have had, Leon since twenty twenty. Yes,
Speaker 2: but in a full season that I was a little
Speaker 2: bit more connected to as you were twenty seventeen when
Speaker 2: you had Marrow, you had my Aida, and you had
Speaker 2: Kenley Jansen. But you go back to the twenty twenty
Speaker 2: World Series, you had trying in, you had Grattarol, you
Speaker 2: had Kenley Jansen and whoever else the Dodgers could deploy.
Speaker 2: But I agree with you, arguably the best bullpen they
Speaker 2: have had in the last ten years.
Speaker 12: Yeah, And I gotta I gotta ask you a question
Speaker 12: in regard to how they kind of to me in
Speaker 12: this series. They basically Robertson management sort of kind of
Speaker 12: like sacrificed a couple games because of you know, having
Speaker 12: you know, kind of a short front end staff. And
Speaker 12: I'm wondering, i mean, for the World Series, are they
Speaker 12: gonna Are they gonna do something like that because we're
Speaker 12: still we still only have three effectively three starters.
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, I mean it's gonna be another You're going
Speaker 2: to have another bullpen game. The Dodgers don't have four starters,
Speaker 2: and it's been very effective. Look how far it's taken them.
Speaker 2: They won a key game four for them in the
Speaker 2: NLDS against the Padres, and tonight it sent them to
Speaker 2: the World Series. So you know, it's not ideal. I'm
Speaker 2: sure he would Andrew Friedman and Dave Roberts would love
Speaker 2: to have Tyler Glass now out there, but that's not
Speaker 2: what is reality. So yeah, the bullpen and those guys
Speaker 2: embracing it and wanting a bullpen game, that makes all
Speaker 2: the difference in the world.
Speaker 12: It's amazing. And I think that they get a lot
Speaker 12: of credit for taking these It's like, really, they took
Speaker 12: some risks here because you know, even starting tonight's copec,
Speaker 12: I mean that that was a big risk in a sense,
Speaker 12: you know, he's never been that situation.
Speaker 2: Well he has been. The thought process was is uh,
Speaker 2: he was a starter. He knows what it's like to
Speaker 2: start a game. So it's not like they just pick
Speaker 2: a name out of the hat. There's a lot of
Speaker 2: thought that goes behind the strategy of deploying these relievers,
Speaker 2: even starting at the very first inning, so you know
Speaker 2: you have an overpowering reliever that has been a starter before.
Speaker 2: So that was the thought process to have Copeck start
Speaker 2: the game and be the opener.
Speaker 12: So I'm glad it all worked out and we're all
Speaker 12: ready to celebrate.
Speaker 4: So thanks a lot, Dave for all your hard work.
Speaker 2: For sure, Leon, thank you. Eight six six nine eight
Speaker 2: seven two five seventy is the phone number. Let's take
Speaker 2: another phone call. Francisco. Who's in San Diego. You're on
Speaker 2: Dodger Talk. Hi Francisco, Hey Dave, how are you doing.
Speaker 13: Uh?
Speaker 2: The party's still going somewhere.
Speaker 7: In La Sure, yes, sir.
Speaker 23: I just want to say, what a fantastic win, what
Speaker 23: a great team win. I was celebrating with my family
Speaker 23: over at FaceTime. Three siblings in Texas, one sister in
Speaker 23: New York. We're all feeling the excitement. Mine with mine
Speaker 23: with a bluetooth speaker with loud celebrating the music.
Speaker 20: But the only person is missing my mom.
Speaker 23: She's the biggest Dodger fans. She went there having two
Speaker 23: months ago and and.
Speaker 20: Just brought back tears for my dad because they were
Speaker 20: the greatest two fans. They used to go together when
Speaker 20: they're young and went to the Dodger Stadium Washington play.
Speaker 20: My dad's firite player was Fernando bar Anezuela. But you
Speaker 20: know what, four more wins and uh and I was
Speaker 20: the only my mom in heaven. Say mom, they won,
Speaker 20: but we still got four more wins.
Speaker 2: She was watching. She knew she was watching Tommy Lasorda
Speaker 2: up there in blue.
Speaker 20: Oh man, Yes, sir, yes sir.
Speaker 23: Let's go against Gully too.
Speaker 2: Let's go all right, Francisco, thank you for the phone call.
Speaker 2: That's right. She had a front row seat with those guys.
Speaker 2: And look, you think back to nineteen eighty one. That
Speaker 2: was the birth of Fernando Mania. That's what helped the
Speaker 2: Dodgers get over the hump to beat the Yankees. And
Speaker 2: certainly it's going to be an epic world series. Can't
Speaker 2: wait for it to start up on Friday, and you know,
Speaker 2: you're looking at probably Yamamotos starting Game one. You're looking
Speaker 2: at you know, either Walker Bueller or Jack Flaherty starting
Speaker 2: Game two. I would imagine it's Walker Buehler because he's
Speaker 2: had a little extra rest since the last time he
Speaker 2: pitched in this series. And you know, the Dodgers, they
Speaker 2: stack up pretty well against any team, and a lot
Speaker 2: of players that have sent me a text over this
Speaker 2: postseason believed whoever won the Dodgers padres nlds was going
Speaker 2: to win the World Series. Now the Dodgers just have
Speaker 2: to take care of business on the field, but not
Speaker 2: a shortage of subplots and story lines. Judge o'tani The
Speaker 2: history of the Dodgers and Yankees. John Carlos Stanton coming
Speaker 2: back back home. He went to Notre Dame High School,
Speaker 2: of course. So I just feel like the Dodgers match
Speaker 2: up really well against the Yankees. Let's go out to
Speaker 2: all Hambra. Javier, You're on Dodger Talk. How you doing, Hobby, Hey.
Speaker 4: It's probably one of the greatest days in Dodger fan
Speaker 4: baseball history. Right, We're all doing well. But I just
Speaker 4: want to say everyone's saying bullpen, bullpen, We don't have
Speaker 4: a bullpen. We have a dog pound. All those dogs,
Speaker 4: all those dogs that dog pound. And I'll tell you what,
Speaker 4: the Yankees are gonna have a rude awakening. We stacked
Speaker 4: up so well against them. We have the edge and
Speaker 4: it's going to prove that. And I said it earlier
Speaker 4: in the season when I when I got on here,
Speaker 4: I said, baseball is better when the NL West is better.
Speaker 4: Dan L West is so strong and the Yankees aren't
Speaker 4: even gonna know what to do with it.
Speaker 20: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: Shout out to Tommy Edmund. That guy's a yeah. I
Speaker 4: guess the theme of the World Series the dog pound.
Speaker 21: Are you coming to these games?
Speaker 2: Are you coming to any of the games?
Speaker 4: We'll see if I can scround some tennies together and
Speaker 4: get to get to a game. HOPEFU though, all.
Speaker 2: Right, if you come to a game, you gotta be
Speaker 2: loud when the Dodgers are are hitting, and not just
Speaker 2: after they get a hit. You gotta be loud before
Speaker 2: a pitch is even thrown to disrupt the rhythm of
Speaker 2: the pitcher catcher in the infield.
Speaker 4: Definitely, for sure.
Speaker 2: Always all right, AVI here, thanks a lot for the
Speaker 2: phone call. Appreciated. Eight six six seven two five seventy
Speaker 2: is the phone number the road to the World Series
Speaker 2: for the Dodgers. You would have to be, you know,
Speaker 2: blind to realize the Dodgers have a tougher road to
Speaker 2: the World Series than the Yankees have. Had no disrespect
Speaker 2: to the Royals and Guardians, but the Padres number one
Speaker 2: and the Mets number two, that's a tougher road top
Speaker 2: to bottom. The National LEA was a better league than
Speaker 2: the American League this year. The Yankees had a very
Speaker 2: easy path to the World Series. I just feel like
Speaker 2: if you took away the pinstripes and the n y
Speaker 2: on their jerseys, you would realize the Dodgers match up
Speaker 2: really well against the Yankees and a man that knows
Speaker 2: all about it. Hey, before we go to this man
Speaker 2: that has roots in New York. Just another fun fact
Speaker 2: of Dodger Yankee history. There's only two play by play
Speaker 2: broadcasters in the history of baseball that were the lead
Speaker 2: play by play for the Dodgers and Yankees. Do you
Speaker 2: know who that was? Red Barber in New York and
Speaker 2: Charlie Steiner here in LA. How about that we'll have
Speaker 2: more of those nuggets as the week goes along. But
Speaker 2: first here is our man calling in from parts unknown.
Speaker 2: He loves a party, he loves a clinching celebration. When
Speaker 2: the lights are the brightest, he wants to get in
Speaker 2: there with his poncho. And here he is the one
Speaker 2: and only Victor Brigg Jacobs.
Speaker 13: David Vasse, Dodgers fans, Chevez, ravine, the rapture, your electricity
Speaker 13: carried the blue a feeling you listen. Dodgers the Yankees
Speaker 13: is the monster matchup that the whole baseball cosmos wants.
Speaker 13: I have been projecting Dodgers in five of the San Diego,
Speaker 13: which to me was the toughest obstacle. The Mets. They're feisty,
Speaker 13: they're resilient. I picked the Dodgers and six to beat
Speaker 13: the Mets, even though I have Queen's roots, born in Brooklyn,
Speaker 13: raised in Queens, and now the facing the so called
Speaker 13: mighty New York Yankees. I love the Dodgers to clinch
Speaker 13: at home in seven. This game was tremendous. The bullpen
Speaker 13: was tremendous. David Vessey, your interviews were instant classicals. In
Speaker 13: the Dodger Clubhouse with its champagna flowing with you and
Speaker 13: Blake Trining when he was basically soaking you with six
Speaker 13: bottles of beer while doing the interview with a six
Speaker 13: out save. And then the classical with Max Munsey and Honeywell.
Speaker 13: I mean, who knew Honeywell was the biggest part here
Speaker 13: on the Dodgers. The Honeywell interview with Max Munsey instant classic.
Speaker 13: But again give it up for that bullpen. You call
Speaker 13: them the dogs. They got the diamond dogs of the
Speaker 13: bullpen from Trining. Let's get Vesia back for the World
Speaker 13: Series if we you know, if we can get Gradero
Speaker 13: back for the World Series, that would be tremendous tradition.
Speaker 13: Here at the zendo, my beloved bride, Juko Sakamoto lights
Speaker 13: the floating candles of Harry Potter when the victory is
Speaker 13: at hand, and she licked the floating candles today in
Speaker 13: the third ending, because you knew.
Speaker 10: When we got to man it was done. Manyah became
Speaker 10: a human being. We got to Manaiah. Thank you, Tommy
Speaker 10: Edmund MVP. Touched by hot oh gosh, and I live
Speaker 10: you with this hikup I am.
Speaker 13: Bliitzed out here in his zendo, and and Whittio has
Speaker 13: went out the fireworks that's we win the Pennance. Here's
Speaker 13: your high call for you winning the NLCS, winning the Pennance,
Speaker 13: Dodgers the twenty sixth sum a I lift through death, show,
Speaker 13: no flare, ultimate self sacrifice, Muga no ego, mo shin,
Speaker 13: no mind, Dodgers in seven, all of the so called
Speaker 13: Mighty Yankees. That's feeling you.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I think that's a great way to end
Speaker 2: the show. Now I'm still a little confused. Did you
Speaker 2: go lick the candles or did she lit the candles?
Speaker 2: I wasn't sure either way. It worked. Thank you, Victor
Speaker 2: Brigg Jacobs. That'll do it for us. Tonight on Dodger Talk,
Speaker 2: Steve Sachs Tim Kats will have the morning show edition
Speaker 2: beginning at six am tomorrow. Game one of the World
Speaker 2: Series between the Dodgers and Yankees will be on Friday
Speaker 2: here at Dodgers Stadium. We are expecting first pitch to
Speaker 2: be around fiveh five and we'll see how the Dodgers
Speaker 2: and Yankees as the week goes along, match up against
Speaker 2: each other with their starting pitching and obviously the bullpen.
Speaker 2: Dogs of the Dodgers. Just want to say congratulations again
Speaker 2: to all the players to Dave Roberts to Andrew Friedman,
Speaker 2: to Andrew's staff, they did a tremendous job to get
Speaker 2: to the World Series even though they weren't at one
Speaker 2: hundred percent, and they're in prime position to win the
Speaker 2: World Series and give La the first parade since nineteen
Speaker 2: eighty eight for the Dodgers. Can't say enough, and I
Speaker 2: thought Dave Roberts said it the best. It's an organizational win,
Speaker 2: organizational success. I can't say enough about what they've been
Speaker 2: able to do, especially with all the expectations. Just tremendous
Speaker 2: and a lot of work has been put in by
Speaker 2: the players, the coaching staff, Clayton McCullough, Dino Ebol, those
Speaker 2: guys are out here every day from spring training on
Speaker 2: with guys like Mookie Beds and Tommy Edmond and Keikey
Speaker 2: Hernandez and Freddie Freeman. They put in a lot of hours.
Speaker 2: The hitting coaches put in a lot of hours. It's
Speaker 2: amazing when you get to the World Series, how you're
Speaker 2: a genius all of a sudden. They didn't just become geniuses.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers have really good members on their staff and
Speaker 2: great great job by everybody. We'll do all the thank
Speaker 2: yous and all that after the Dodgers win the World
Speaker 2: Series and we'll be here for that Game one. Let's
Speaker 2: start with Game one Friday night here at Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 2: And in case you missed any of the show, you
Speaker 2: can find it on the iHeartRadio app and also all
Speaker 2: our clubhouse interviews same thing iHeartRadio app. And we'll talk

Speaker 2: Game six of the NLCS, the Dodgers defeat the Mets

Speaker 2: believe they charge that run to him. Should be scoreless still,
Speaker 2: Tommy Edmonds, the NLCSMVP, and the Dodgers and Yankees on
