3
00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:13.679
<v Speaker 2>Welcome the Dodger Talk David Vassey live at City Field.

4
00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:17.079
<v Speaker 2>After the Dodgers shut out the Mets for the second

5
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:21.079
<v Speaker 2>time in the NLCS tonight, the final score eight to

6
00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:25.239
<v Speaker 2>nothing in Game three of the NLCS, the Dodgers now

7
00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:29.600
<v Speaker 2>have a two games to one lead. Welcome the Dodger Talk.

8
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:32.439
<v Speaker 2>We're with you until ten o'clock tonight on the West

9
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:36.399
<v Speaker 2>coast one am on the East coast. After the Dodgers

10
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:40.880
<v Speaker 2>shut out the Mets eight to nothing behind three really

11
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:45.799
<v Speaker 2>good performances from three players that are no stranger to

12
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:50.960
<v Speaker 2>delivering in the postseason, Walker Buehler, who pitched four scoreless

13
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:55.520
<v Speaker 2>innings tonight and was able to really baffle the Mets,

14
00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:59.560
<v Speaker 2>and the Mets played into Buehler's and the Dodgers pitchers

15
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:03.439
<v Speaker 2>hands because they were very passive. I got texts from

16
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:06.560
<v Speaker 2>a few different players that were watching this and they

17
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:10.200
<v Speaker 2>said the Mets were taking way too many strike ones

18
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:13.879
<v Speaker 2>in this game. First pitch fastball strikes and then swinging

19
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:17.079
<v Speaker 2>at you know, the curveball and slider of Walker. Buehler

20
00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:21.159
<v Speaker 2>played into his hands perfectly and I'm surprised, and I

21
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:24.359
<v Speaker 2>hope we hear from Buehler and somebody asked him about this, because,

22
00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:28.760
<v Speaker 2>as Jose Mota and I pointed out, Buehler, after giving

23
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:31.519
<v Speaker 2>up a fly ball to the warning track to Francisco

24
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:35.799
<v Speaker 2>Lindor in the bottom of the first inning, went exclusively

25
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:40.079
<v Speaker 2>from the stretch the rest of the way. I was wondering, what,

26
00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:45.319
<v Speaker 2>you know got him to do that, and whatever it was,

27
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:47.840
<v Speaker 2>it seemed like he had better command of his pitches,

28
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:50.519
<v Speaker 2>because if you look at the spray charts of his

29
00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:53.640
<v Speaker 2>pitches against Lindor in the very first at bat of

30
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:55.799
<v Speaker 2>the game, he was all over the place and he

31
00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:59.400
<v Speaker 2>almost got beat by it as Lindor sent Keike Hernandez

32
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:02.680
<v Speaker 2>to the wall in center field, and from there Buehler

33
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:06.959
<v Speaker 2>went to the stretch exclusively. And I just remember one

34
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:10.479
<v Speaker 2>pitcher in particular that would go to the stretch when

35
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:13.400
<v Speaker 2>he felt like his command was off, his mechanics were off,

36
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:17.080
<v Speaker 2>and that was Hideo Nomo when he pitched for the Dodgers. Remember,

37
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:22.360
<v Speaker 2>he had a very involved wind up delivery. They called

38
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:25.599
<v Speaker 2>him the Tornado for a reason because his delivery was

39
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:28.719
<v Speaker 2>like a tornado, the way he spun around and when

40
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:31.919
<v Speaker 2>he would come out of the delivery, hitters would see

41
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:34.039
<v Speaker 2>the back of his jersey, they would see his number

42
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:37.439
<v Speaker 2>sixteen when he did go to his turn, and whenever

43
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:40.080
<v Speaker 2>he felt like he was off, he would go to

44
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:44.879
<v Speaker 2>pitching exclusively from the stretch for two or three starts.

45
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:48.240
<v Speaker 2>And that's what Walker Buehler did tonight. So let's hear

46
00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:51.800
<v Speaker 2>from Walker Buehler because he gave the Dodgers what they needed.

47
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:55.120
<v Speaker 2>And with the Dodgers now having a two games to

48
00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:58.840
<v Speaker 2>one lead and probably going to have a at least

49
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:01.360
<v Speaker 2>three wins when they leave New York, if it all

50
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:04.319
<v Speaker 2>goes the way it should, they may not need to

51
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:07.840
<v Speaker 2>use him again until the World Series. So here was

52
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:09.199
<v Speaker 2>Walker Buehler after the game.

53
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:12.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I just, uh, I throw what Will puts down.

54
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:16.800
<v Speaker 3>You know, I think this series, in this playoffs, I

55
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:20.000
<v Speaker 3>think is as in sync with with the pitching staff

56
00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:23.080
<v Speaker 3>as Will has ever been. And he's calling really good games.

57
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:26.520
<v Speaker 3>And you know, I trust what he sees more than anyone.

58
00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:28.800
<v Speaker 3>I trust what he sees more than I trust.

59
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:29.080
<v Speaker 2>What I see.

60
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:32.960
<v Speaker 3>And so I think that, you know, that's just a

61
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:33.800
<v Speaker 3>typical cap.

62
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:36.400
<v Speaker 4>To him when he started his journey back from the

63
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:38.680
<v Speaker 4>you know, the Tommy John, you talked about wanting to

64
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:40.599
<v Speaker 4>pitch in games like this is kind of simply how

65
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:41.360
<v Speaker 4>fun was tonight.

66
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:43.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's everything to me. You know, we talked about

67
00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:47.719
<v Speaker 3>it before the San Diego start, the big games or

68
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:49.919
<v Speaker 3>me being in big games. That's that's literally all I

69
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:55.240
<v Speaker 3>care about. And you know the way Kiki talks about

70
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:58.439
<v Speaker 3>our team having some sort of of confidence when I

71
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:03.280
<v Speaker 3>pitch regardless, I think is kind of really the goal

72
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:07.080
<v Speaker 3>for any starting pitcher. You know, I just want twenty

73
00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:09.199
<v Speaker 3>five guys in the locker room that that believe that

74
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:10.280
<v Speaker 3>I give us a really good.

75
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:10.719
<v Speaker 2>Chance to win.

76
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:14.800
<v Speaker 3>And if I've created that in our locker room somehow,

77
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:16.800
<v Speaker 3>that's That's probably what I'll be the most proud of

78
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:19.519
<v Speaker 3>when I'm done. It'll five you in second round.

79
00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:24.399
<v Speaker 1>Just to go back to that, Lindora Pat, do you

80
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:27.120
<v Speaker 1>feel like that's something maybe pre surgery that you probably

81
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:29.560
<v Speaker 1>would want to try to throw a fastball in that spot?

82
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:33.040
<v Speaker 3>Oh, in twenty eighteen, nineteen twenty, I would have thrown

83
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:38.040
<v Speaker 3>a fastball. I mean, there's no yeah.

84
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:39.959
<v Speaker 1>And then I think I noticed that you went to

85
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:43.120
<v Speaker 1>the stretch right after that first Lindora Pat, what sort

86
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:44.399
<v Speaker 1>of midge you want is show.

87
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:48.199
<v Speaker 3>My right foot moves in my wind up and the

88
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:52.560
<v Speaker 3>mound being cold. It's always pretty hard here, but especially

89
00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:55.040
<v Speaker 3>when it's cold, it's extremely hard. And the first three

90
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:56.519
<v Speaker 3>throws of the game in my foot I had no

91
00:04:56.519 --> 00:05:00.000
<v Speaker 3>idea where it was, so in the stretch and maybe

92
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:02.160
<v Speaker 3>to kind of set it and not worry about it,

93
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:05.199
<v Speaker 3>so we kind of audibled pretty quick.

94
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:10.439
<v Speaker 2>Wow, that's amazing. That's the reason why Walker Bueler went

95
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:15.000
<v Speaker 2>to the stretch exclusively. It was because his push off foot,

96
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:18.800
<v Speaker 2>his right foot against the rubber was all over the place,

97
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:21.879
<v Speaker 2>as he said, and that's pretty impressive he was able

98
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:25.040
<v Speaker 2>to make that adjustment as quickly as he did. I'm

99
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:29.279
<v Speaker 2>curious if he went out to the mound yesterday during

100
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:31.199
<v Speaker 2>the workout. I was here. I did not see him

101
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:34.839
<v Speaker 2>do it, but maybe he sent something warming up in

102
00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:37.560
<v Speaker 2>the bullpen. He may have to do that. Another part

103
00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:40.319
<v Speaker 2>of the Key k Hernandez heroics tonight a two run

104
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:44.800
<v Speaker 2>home run. He has the fourth highest road ops in

105
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:49.079
<v Speaker 2>the postseason with at least seventy five plate appearances. Key

106
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:52.639
<v Speaker 2>k Hernandez is in the same company in that category

107
00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:58.199
<v Speaker 2>as Louke Garrick, Babe Ruth and Carlos Beltran. Pretty impressive

108
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:01.839
<v Speaker 2>to have the fourth highest road ops in the playoffs

109
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:05.160
<v Speaker 2>with that many plate appearances. Key k Hernandez coming up

110
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:07.879
<v Speaker 2>big again tonight with a two run home run in

111
00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:11.759
<v Speaker 2>the sixth inning that basically silenced this crowd and took

112
00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:17.319
<v Speaker 2>the hope and magic of this Mets faithful away. I

113
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:21.600
<v Speaker 2>remember Mikezosha telling me a few different times whenever I

114
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:24.120
<v Speaker 2>would bug him about his home run against Dwight Gooden

115
00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:27.839
<v Speaker 2>in Game four of the eighty eight NLCS. That was

116
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:31.759
<v Speaker 2>the biggest home run at that point in time, and

117
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:34.279
<v Speaker 2>that was at the old Chase Stadium. He hit the

118
00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:37.279
<v Speaker 2>home run into the Mets bullpen. And he told me

119
00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:40.680
<v Speaker 2>when he was rounding the bases at Chase Stadium that

120
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:43.279
<v Speaker 2>night after he hit the home run, he could hear

121
00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:46.199
<v Speaker 2>his cleats in the dirt when he was rounding the

122
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:49.720
<v Speaker 2>bases and crossing home plate. That's how quiet it was

123
00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:54.360
<v Speaker 2>that night in nineteen eighty eight. And this reminded me

124
00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:58.040
<v Speaker 2>of what Mikezoshia told me back in eighty eight, because

125
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:01.360
<v Speaker 2>when keyk Hernandez hit that home run to left field,

126
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:04.040
<v Speaker 2>when he was rounding the bases, all the way up

127
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:06.639
<v Speaker 2>here in the press box I could hit, I could

128
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:09.759
<v Speaker 2>hear his cleats hitting the dirt, and when he crossed

129
00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:12.439
<v Speaker 2>home plate, I could hear what he was saying to

130
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:16.720
<v Speaker 2>his teammates very clearly. That's how quiet it was here

131
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:19.519
<v Speaker 2>at City Field after he hit that two run home

132
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:22.160
<v Speaker 2>run to give the Dodgers a four to nothing lead,

133
00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:25.319
<v Speaker 2>And it was big for the Dodgers because really they

134
00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:28.560
<v Speaker 2>were so close to breaking the dam earlier in the game.

135
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:31.519
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers tried to extend the two nothing lead in

136
00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:33.959
<v Speaker 2>the third inning with the bases loaded in one out,

137
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:37.079
<v Speaker 2>but got nothing. Then in the top of the fifth inning,

138
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:41.160
<v Speaker 2>still two nothing, two on, two out, got nothing, so

139
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:44.560
<v Speaker 2>for Keik to come up with two outs after Tommy

140
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:47.120
<v Speaker 2>Edman got a two out base hit, and then there

141
00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:50.160
<v Speaker 2>was the bock by Reed Garrett. I think that rattled

142
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:53.040
<v Speaker 2>him a little bit, and him even not even pausing

143
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:56.319
<v Speaker 2>for his delivery showed you that maybe the game was

144
00:07:56.360 --> 00:07:58.879
<v Speaker 2>a little bit too fast for him. And I wouldn't

145
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:02.800
<v Speaker 2>discount Tommy Edmund, who already has been described as a

146
00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:07.319
<v Speaker 2>really smart baseball player, to maybe tip off Key k

147
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:10.639
<v Speaker 2>what was coming, because that was the first home run

148
00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:14.040
<v Speaker 2>off of Reed. Garrett, split fingered fastball so it takes

149
00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:17.519
<v Speaker 2>a team. And Key k Hernandez, Walker, Bueller, and Max

150
00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:19.680
<v Speaker 2>Munsey will tell you that Monthsey had a big game

151
00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:23.959
<v Speaker 2>too on base all five times eight, six, six, nine

152
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:27.800
<v Speaker 2>eighty seven two five seventy is the phone number Before

153
00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:30.360
<v Speaker 2>we go to the phones, Let's hear from Key k Hernandez,

154
00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:31.519
<v Speaker 2>who was in the interview room.

155
00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:35.399
<v Speaker 4>Hey, Key k how is the wind affecting flyballs out

156
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:38.039
<v Speaker 4>there tonight? And did it put some doubt into your

157
00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:42.320
<v Speaker 4>mind after you, you know, hit that one in the six.

158
00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:46.799
<v Speaker 5>Uh so right before like dur mvp uh Clayton McCullough, uh,

159
00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:50.440
<v Speaker 5>first ba's outfield coach, Uh, he came in talked to

160
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:53.639
<v Speaker 5>me about how they they did a study or something

161
00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:56.919
<v Speaker 5>about the win here and in the first three innings

162
00:08:56.960 --> 00:08:59.399
<v Speaker 5>I believe were until I think it was till nine

163
00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:03.559
<v Speaker 5>pm some like that the wind will like go straight

164
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:07.080
<v Speaker 5>from the first base dug out to left field and

165
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:09.039
<v Speaker 5>and then after that it will become it would just

166
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:11.279
<v Speaker 5>shift the other way, kind of like to right center

167
00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:16.000
<v Speaker 5>stream a little bit. And I mean, I wasn't I

168
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:18.720
<v Speaker 5>didn't think it was true. After Lindor hit me a

169
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:22.559
<v Speaker 5>fly ball in the first inning and I almost overran

170
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:24.759
<v Speaker 5>it because the ball started coming back. It didn't make

171
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:26.279
<v Speaker 5>any sense to me that the wind was supposed to

172
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:28.320
<v Speaker 5>be blowing to left center if the ball came back

173
00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:34.720
<v Speaker 5>towards center field. But all the other fly balls played true.

174
00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:37.919
<v Speaker 5>And then as far as my homer, I knew that

175
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:40.440
<v Speaker 5>I hit it, and I thought it was gonna be

176
00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:44.000
<v Speaker 5>way gone, and I saw Nimo try to jump for it,

177
00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:46.320
<v Speaker 5>and I kind of panic for half a second. And

178
00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:49.399
<v Speaker 5>I don't care if it was an inside the parker

179
00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:50.200
<v Speaker 5>or Homer's at homer.

180
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:53.600
<v Speaker 4>As big as that homer was, how was it just

181
00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:55.519
<v Speaker 4>as big to get on base in front of show? Hey,

182
00:09:55.559 --> 00:09:57.720
<v Speaker 4>because you might have heard he's a little different hitter

183
00:09:57.759 --> 00:09:58.679
<v Speaker 4>with runners on base.

184
00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:03.519
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, definitely, you know, as hitting ninth is a little

185
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:06.759
<v Speaker 5>bit different than hitting eighth or seventh or eighth with

186
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:11.519
<v Speaker 5>that guy behind me. Uh, we've all seen the difference

187
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:13.679
<v Speaker 5>of the bats with runners on base and nobody on.

188
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:18.639
<v Speaker 5>So yeah, first two bats, I was pretty you know,

189
00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:20.440
<v Speaker 5>kind of upset that I didn't I wasn't able to

190
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:24.080
<v Speaker 5>get on for him. And third of bat, Uh, the

191
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:26.200
<v Speaker 5>whole mentality was trying to get on base, and especially

192
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:28.759
<v Speaker 5>after two strikes, I was trying to battle it to to,

193
00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:32.200
<v Speaker 5>you know, to put myself in a position to either

194
00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:35.600
<v Speaker 5>get on like walk or get a hit. I swung

195
00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:37.720
<v Speaker 5>at a pitch that was probably head high, and I

196
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:40.480
<v Speaker 5>was able to foul it off. And I told myself

197
00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:43.600
<v Speaker 5>to slow down because I caught myself in swing mode.

198
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:46.840
<v Speaker 5>And very next pitch he hung a split and you

199
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:48.519
<v Speaker 5>know I was able to get enough on it.

200
00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:54.600
<v Speaker 2>All right, there's Key a Hernandez after another big playoff performance.

201
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:58.960
<v Speaker 2>Key k Hernandez is an everyday player. In October, he'll

202
00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:01.879
<v Speaker 2>be getting every day starts, as we have seen since

203
00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:06.240
<v Speaker 2>what game four of the NLDS. I guess the only

204
00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:08.799
<v Speaker 2>question is what took so long to get If Key

205
00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:12.200
<v Speaker 2>k a Hernandez starts, I mean, come on, he's that guy.

206
00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:15.759
<v Speaker 2>Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is

207
00:11:15.799 --> 00:11:18.080
<v Speaker 2>the phone number. Let's go out to the phones for

208
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:21.720
<v Speaker 2>the first time tonight. A loyal listener, Kevin in Culver City.

209
00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:22.720
<v Speaker 2>You're on Dodger Talk.

210
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:25.559
<v Speaker 6>Hi, Kevin, God is good.

213
00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:35.679
<v Speaker 7>be the new bench coach of the Dodgers. I remember

214
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:38.879
<v Speaker 7>a game against the San Diego, Padres, you said, Key

215
00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:41.879
<v Speaker 7>k a Hernandez has got to get into this lineup.

216
00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:45.559
<v Speaker 7>What is going on? Well, since the data's beast say suggestion,

217
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:48.039
<v Speaker 7>we're we're run our way to the World Series. And

218
00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:51.120
<v Speaker 7>KEYK Hernandez is looking like Robert Oriy out there getting

219
00:11:51.159 --> 00:11:52.559
<v Speaker 7>big time hit after big.

220
00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:53.320
<v Speaker 8>Time home runs.

221
00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:56.120
<v Speaker 7>He is the man. And I give you the credit, Bass, say,

222
00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:58.120
<v Speaker 7>mister vass aka.

223
00:11:57.919 --> 00:11:58.960
<v Speaker 8>Dodger bench coach.

224
00:11:59.279 --> 00:11:59.919
<v Speaker 7>Another thing.

225
00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:05.639
<v Speaker 9>Credit to our bulldog Walker Bueller channeling all her Scheizer

226
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:09.039
<v Speaker 9>and Shae now city Field, going four strong innings and

227
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:12.879
<v Speaker 9>striking out Francisco Indoor and giving that fist pump.

228
00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:15.279
<v Speaker 7>This is the Walker Bueler we know. And Bass said

229
00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:17.919
<v Speaker 7>he'll be ready for it. And let's give some credit

230
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:22.240
<v Speaker 7>to show time showy Otani the King of La that's

231
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:24.840
<v Speaker 7>his new nicknamed Vesseys, you know, I proclaimed to him.

232
00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:28.279
<v Speaker 7>Look at that home run still flying to Manhattan over

233
00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:29.200
<v Speaker 7>there in the Lower.

234
00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:33.000
<v Speaker 9>East Side, and Dylan Hernandez write that, now write that

235
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:34.200
<v Speaker 9>about soy El Tani?

236
00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:36.120
<v Speaker 7>Where are you at? Dylan or Nana's basse is the

237
00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:39.200
<v Speaker 7>only one who's never wavered and stuck with our superstar.

238
00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:42.080
<v Speaker 7>And this guy is so clutched and it was a

239
00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:44.519
<v Speaker 7>great home run. How about seventeen out of twenty with

240
00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:47.720
<v Speaker 7>men in scoring position. That's a clutch stat. And that's

241
00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:51.039
<v Speaker 7>what showtime Otani does. I love the timing hitting, I

242
00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:53.679
<v Speaker 7>love Tommy Edman, and we're gonna wrap this up and

243
00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:57.120
<v Speaker 7>let's get it done. We got Yamamoto, we got Flerty going. Look,

244
00:12:57.519 --> 00:12:59.799
<v Speaker 7>the series against the Poscs is so be because that

245
00:12:59.919 --> 00:13:01.759
<v Speaker 7>was team And like I told my friend, who's the

246
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:04.919
<v Speaker 7>Mets fan, this Mets wulpin is not the Pasres bulpin.

247
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:08.759
<v Speaker 7>We've seen this, and I apologize to Miguil. That's because Canner.

248
00:13:08.799 --> 00:13:11.679
<v Speaker 7>Scott Otani said, the next reliever who throws one over here,

249
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:14.120
<v Speaker 7>I'm taking it all the way out the ballpark. And

250
00:13:14.159 --> 00:13:16.000
<v Speaker 7>it just had to happen to be mill deal of night.

251
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:20.360
<v Speaker 7>Go Dodgers, Dodgers for to one, Dodgers in five. Let's

252
00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:23.039
<v Speaker 7>get it done best like you said, one game, here

253
00:13:23.080 --> 00:13:23.399
<v Speaker 7>we go.

254
00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:27.399
<v Speaker 2>I love it, Kevin, Thank you for the phone call. Man.

255
00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:30.039
<v Speaker 2>That was a lot to digest right there. But the

256
00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:32.559
<v Speaker 2>one point that I hadn't brought up is what Kevin

257
00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:35.960
<v Speaker 2>brought up when it was still a two nothing game.

258
00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:39.200
<v Speaker 2>Walker Buehler in some trouble in the second inning. We

259
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:41.919
<v Speaker 2>all know what happened in San Diego when he gave

260
00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:44.480
<v Speaker 2>up six runs and he had the bases loaded with

261
00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:48.519
<v Speaker 2>two outs and he strikes out Francisco Lindor, and he

262
00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:51.360
<v Speaker 2>was very emotional coming off the mound. That was a

263
00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:54.200
<v Speaker 2>big strikeout. And the reason why he was able to

264
00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:58.600
<v Speaker 2>strike out Lindors because tonight Walker Buehler was pitching, and

265
00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:03.200
<v Speaker 2>he was pitching backwards. He wasn't playing off his fastball.

266
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:07.679
<v Speaker 2>He was playing off his curveball, his power, sweeper, his cutter,

267
00:14:08.120 --> 00:14:11.759
<v Speaker 2>and that's what made his ninety three fastball play more

268
00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:13.720
<v Speaker 2>up in the strike zone to be able to get

269
00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:17.279
<v Speaker 2>it by a hitter like Francisco Lindor. So really a

270
00:14:17.320 --> 00:14:21.039
<v Speaker 2>great job all around by Walker Bueller Tonight to pitch

271
00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:23.679
<v Speaker 2>that way, and like I said, kind of strange, right,

272
00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:26.480
<v Speaker 2>four scoreless innings, but he's out of the game after

273
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:30.759
<v Speaker 2>ninety pitches. That's how good the Dodger bullpen is. Also.

274
00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:34.240
<v Speaker 2>Another big moment in this game was when Ryan Brasier

275
00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:37.240
<v Speaker 2>was in a little bit of trouble. After Michael Kopek

276
00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:41.559
<v Speaker 2>pitched a scoreless fifth inning, Ryan Brasier gave up a

277
00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:45.559
<v Speaker 2>single and then a walk to JD. Martinez in the

278
00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:49.360
<v Speaker 2>sixth inning, but then got a huge ending double play

279
00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:53.480
<v Speaker 2>by Jose Iglesias. This series is set up perfectly now

280
00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:56.039
<v Speaker 2>for the Dodgers to be able to even win it

281
00:14:56.080 --> 00:14:58.960
<v Speaker 2>here in New York. Before this series started, I said

282
00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:02.559
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers in five. I actually thought they would win the

283
00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:05.600
<v Speaker 2>first two games at Dodgers Stadium. But after the way

284
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:08.600
<v Speaker 2>this game went tonight, and then putting up another crooked

285
00:15:08.679 --> 00:15:12.399
<v Speaker 2>number and not having to use Evan Phillips, not having

286
00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:15.799
<v Speaker 2>to over extend Blake Trinin, the Dodgers are set up

287
00:15:15.879 --> 00:15:19.799
<v Speaker 2>to have their high leverage relievers ready for tomorrow and

288
00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:25.240
<v Speaker 2>even on on Friday here at City Field for a

289
00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:29.759
<v Speaker 2>Game five. With the way things went tonight. And Ben Caspirius,

290
00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:32.600
<v Speaker 2>I feel like he's one of those under the radar

291
00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:35.840
<v Speaker 2>pitchers that you're going to talk a lot about next

292
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:39.399
<v Speaker 2>year because he has that edge. He's not scared, and

293
00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:42.080
<v Speaker 2>what he did was vital tonight, just like what Brent

294
00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:45.799
<v Speaker 2>Honeywell did in Game two was vital. Pitching two scoreless

295
00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:49.159
<v Speaker 2>innings for Casparius. Tonight, Honeywell pitched three scoreless for the

296
00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:53.759
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers at Dodgers Stadium, Dodgers take Game three, the NLCS

297
00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:56.679
<v Speaker 2>shutting out the Mets eight to nothing. Let's go out

298
00:15:56.720 --> 00:16:00.000
<v Speaker 2>to the oc Ian. You're on Dodger Talk Live from

299
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:00.679
<v Speaker 2>City Field.

300
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:04.679
<v Speaker 10>Hi end Hey David, thanks taking my call. Question for

301
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:09.120
<v Speaker 10>you is, let's imagine the perfect Dodger fan scenario goes

302
00:16:09.159 --> 00:16:13.440
<v Speaker 10>to plan tomorrow. Yoshi pitches seven innings, maybe Banda or

303
00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:16.919
<v Speaker 10>Phillips cover the next two. Do you think it's possible

304
00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:19.559
<v Speaker 10>that David Roberts would go to a bullpen game in

305
00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:25.039
<v Speaker 10>Game five with the day off as opposed to starting. Sorry,

306
00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:28.440
<v Speaker 10>Jack Flaherty clarity exactly right.

307
00:16:28.639 --> 00:16:31.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, you know what he's saying right now. It's

308
00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:35.320
<v Speaker 2>flerity in game five. I could see them audibling and

309
00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:38.440
<v Speaker 2>going to a bullpen game for those reasons, depending on

310
00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:42.799
<v Speaker 2>how tomorrow goes. But if I'm Dave Roberts and Andrew

311
00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:45.840
<v Speaker 2>Freeman Ian, I'm trying to end this series in five,

312
00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:48.440
<v Speaker 2>why even try to extend it to a game six?

313
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:51.480
<v Speaker 2>So either way, I'm sticking with flarerity in a game five,

314
00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:54.840
<v Speaker 2>especially after the way he dominated this Mets lineup in

315
00:16:54.919 --> 00:16:57.039
<v Speaker 2>Game one. I just want to get this over with,

316
00:16:57.440 --> 00:16:59.480
<v Speaker 2>and I feel like it is going to be what

317
00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:06.480
<v Speaker 2>every that he wants. Dodgers Yankee, Stanton Betts, Judge Otani,

318
00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:11.200
<v Speaker 2>Garrett Cole going up against Jack Flaherty, name him. It's

319
00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:16.400
<v Speaker 2>going to be Dodgers Yankees, a rematch of a legendary rivalry,

320
00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:18.960
<v Speaker 2>and it will be the first time the Dodgers and

321
00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:21.720
<v Speaker 2>Yankees play each other in the World Series since nineteen

322
00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:24.839
<v Speaker 2>eighty one. So I feel like everybody in baseball is

323
00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:27.799
<v Speaker 2>just waiting for the Yankees to close out the Guardians

324
00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:30.799
<v Speaker 2>and the Dodgers to close out the Mets. Feels like

325
00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:34.519
<v Speaker 2>it's just a matter of a time that it's inevitable

326
00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:38.240
<v Speaker 2>that's going to happen. Thank you, Dave, all right, Ian,

327
00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:40.440
<v Speaker 2>thank you for the phone call. Yeah, at this point,

328
00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:42.559
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'm not a player. I don't have to

329
00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:47.000
<v Speaker 2>worry about saying these type of things. Everybody in baseball

330
00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:52.000
<v Speaker 2>is anticipating a Dodgers Yankees World Series. It will be epic,

331
00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:56.000
<v Speaker 2>especially with all the social media the media attention that

332
00:17:56.039 --> 00:17:59.440
<v Speaker 2>would come along with it. It would be a lot bigger,

333
00:17:59.559 --> 00:18:02.880
<v Speaker 2>on a ten times grander stage than the last time

334
00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:05.880
<v Speaker 2>those two teams met in the nineteen eighty one World Series,

335
00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:09.079
<v Speaker 2>when Rick Monday and the Dodgers beat the Mets and

336
00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:13.480
<v Speaker 2>beat the Yankees in six games in that World Series championship.

337
00:18:13.720 --> 00:18:16.599
<v Speaker 2>Let's go out to Huntington Beach. Mark, you're on Dodger Talk.

338
00:18:16.640 --> 00:18:17.359
<v Speaker 2>How you doing, Mark?

339
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:20.440
<v Speaker 11>Okay? David? Hey, another great game.

340
00:18:20.519 --> 00:18:22.599
<v Speaker 12>Remember when I told you before we even started playing

341
00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:24.920
<v Speaker 12>the podres how big bets can always.

342
00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:25.440
<v Speaker 7>Beat good pitching.

343
00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:26.759
<v Speaker 11>It seems to be.

344
00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:27.960
<v Speaker 8>All these wins were getting.

345
00:18:28.119 --> 00:18:29.640
<v Speaker 10>It was proving my point a little bit.

346
00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:33.559
<v Speaker 2>How good is the pitching. Everybody was hyping up Luis

347
00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:37.759
<v Speaker 2>Severino like he was Cy Young. I had no questions

348
00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:39.799
<v Speaker 2>about the Dodger offense scoring tonight.

349
00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:43.119
<v Speaker 4>Yeah yeah, Well, like I said, big bets, and we're

350
00:18:43.160 --> 00:18:44.119
<v Speaker 4>showing it right now.

351
00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:46.400
<v Speaker 8>We're gonna win this week, just like I took the

352
00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:48.200
<v Speaker 8>last time. We got the heart of a champion.

353
00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:50.400
<v Speaker 11>Go Dodger, Blue blue hearts.

354
00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:53.640
<v Speaker 2>All right, Mark, thank you for the phone call. Great

355
00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:56.279
<v Speaker 2>to hear from you. Take your victory. Lap. Let's go

356
00:18:56.359 --> 00:18:59.680
<v Speaker 2>out to Lap Oneejan you're on Dodger Talk. I told

357
00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:02.759
<v Speaker 2>you I told you. Hey, Wan, you're on Dodger Talk.

358
00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:07.480
<v Speaker 8>Hey, how you knowing? David? Everything's everything. It reminds me

359
00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:10.200
<v Speaker 8>of the eighty eight Dodgers that the whole machine was

360
00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:12.839
<v Speaker 8>working together like this, and it's been a while since

361
00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:16.559
<v Speaker 8>they've done it. Even before the playoffs, they were kind

362
00:19:16.559 --> 00:19:20.160
<v Speaker 8>of shaky. But this time they're all working together. Everybody's

363
00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:22.440
<v Speaker 8>doing the right thing at the right time, getting the hits.

364
00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:24.640
<v Speaker 8>It's going to be hard to beat the Dodgers up

365
00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:28.000
<v Speaker 8>down the stretch because these guys are playing together like

366
00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:31.279
<v Speaker 8>like one team finally, you know. And I'm gonna give

367
00:19:31.319 --> 00:19:35.000
<v Speaker 8>him with you for each other. Yeah, And I'm giving

368
00:19:35.119 --> 00:19:38.200
<v Speaker 8>Dave Roberts now the credit that he didn't get before

369
00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:41.759
<v Speaker 8>because now he's playing everybody where they where they belong,

370
00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:44.200
<v Speaker 8>and they're all working so hard to get to do

371
00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:47.599
<v Speaker 8>their best now, all of them, every every single one.

372
00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:49.559
<v Speaker 2>Roberts isn't a rookie manager anymore.

373
00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:49.839
<v Speaker 1>Wan.

374
00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:53.400
<v Speaker 2>This is year number nine of him managing the Dodgers.

375
00:19:53.599 --> 00:19:55.960
<v Speaker 2>I think he has it down pretty well. And I

376
00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:59.039
<v Speaker 2>feel like he has managed a great season and he's

377
00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:02.279
<v Speaker 2>managing a great post season. There's no questions about that.

00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:08.079
<v Speaker 2>the phone number the Dodgers in their two wins in

412
00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:14.079
<v Speaker 2>this NLCS have outscored the Mets seventeen to nothing, nine

413
00:22:14.119 --> 00:22:17.119
<v Speaker 2>to nothing winning Game one tonight and eight nothing win

414
00:22:17.519 --> 00:22:21.839
<v Speaker 2>and four shutout wins in their last five postseason games

415
00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:24.799
<v Speaker 2>for the Dodgers. For a team that had a lot

416
00:22:24.839 --> 00:22:28.400
<v Speaker 2>of question marks about their pitching, they've done pretty good.

417
00:22:28.759 --> 00:22:31.640
<v Speaker 2>And Max Mounsey, I know there's a lot talk about

418
00:22:31.720 --> 00:22:35.839
<v Speaker 2>Keithy a Hernandez, but Max Monsey is a playoff player.

419
00:22:36.359 --> 00:22:38.559
<v Speaker 2>He has not made it out in his last eight

420
00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:43.759
<v Speaker 2>plate appearances, including reaching all five times. Tonight, he had

421
00:22:43.799 --> 00:22:46.880
<v Speaker 2>three walks and he capped off his great night with

422
00:22:46.960 --> 00:22:48.960
<v Speaker 2>a home run in the top of the ninth inning

423
00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:51.839
<v Speaker 2>and after the game, we caught up with that funky month.

424
00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:54.480
<v Speaker 2>See Max. It seemed like all of you guys were

425
00:22:54.519 --> 00:22:57.680
<v Speaker 2>being very selective but aggressive at the same time. Tonight.

426
00:22:58.039 --> 00:22:59.240
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, it was a good night for us. You know,

427
00:22:59.319 --> 00:23:01.079
<v Speaker 13>we stayed within ours stayed with in the zone, stayed

428
00:23:01.079 --> 00:23:03.720
<v Speaker 13>within our game plan. And you know, if you do that,

429
00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:05.960
<v Speaker 13>you gotta trust you trusting the guys in the lineup

430
00:23:05.960 --> 00:23:07.440
<v Speaker 13>that good results are gonna happen. And you know that's

431
00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:08.799
<v Speaker 13>what you saw. It took us a little bit, but

432
00:23:09.799 --> 00:23:11.079
<v Speaker 13>you know, we were able to break through in the end.

433
00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:15.720
<v Speaker 2>This feels like a flashback. Walker Buehler, keyk Hernandez and

434
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:19.279
<v Speaker 2>Max Munsey, guys that have delivered before in the postseason

435
00:23:19.319 --> 00:23:20.400
<v Speaker 2>delivered again tonight.

436
00:23:20.799 --> 00:23:21.039
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

437
00:23:21.119 --> 00:23:23.119
<v Speaker 13>I mean, you know, I said, I was asked, I

438
00:23:23.119 --> 00:23:25.359
<v Speaker 13>don't know how many times for the game, what was

439
00:23:25.359 --> 00:23:27.440
<v Speaker 13>I expecting now of Walker Bueller? And uh, you know,

440
00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:29.799
<v Speaker 13>he he was exactly what I expected tonight. He had

441
00:23:29.799 --> 00:23:31.160
<v Speaker 13>a couple of rough at bats, but then he'd both

442
00:23:31.400 --> 00:23:33.200
<v Speaker 13>uh you know, bowed down in the end and I

443
00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:34.799
<v Speaker 13>was able to get out of it. Showed the emotion,

444
00:23:35.039 --> 00:23:37.359
<v Speaker 13>showed you know that he's still Walker Bueler despite what

445
00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:40.000
<v Speaker 13>his numbers are this year. And you know, going back

446
00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:41.960
<v Speaker 13>to the game in San Diego, I know he gave

447
00:23:42.039 --> 00:23:43.920
<v Speaker 13>up six runs in the one inning, but you know,

448
00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:45.680
<v Speaker 13>there's a there's a play where the guy may or

449
00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:47.160
<v Speaker 13>may not have been out of the baseline. We didn't

450
00:23:47.160 --> 00:23:49.240
<v Speaker 13>get him out on another play. He very easily could

451
00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:50.480
<v Speaker 13>have been out on that inning with only one or

452
00:23:50.480 --> 00:23:52.200
<v Speaker 13>two runs. And you look at the rest of the game,

453
00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:54.039
<v Speaker 13>hardly anyone even got on base, and it was kind

454
00:23:54.039 --> 00:23:54.799
<v Speaker 13>of the same story to night.

455
00:23:55.240 --> 00:23:58.079
<v Speaker 2>Max Mounsey. Still, Max Munsey, I'm gonna blow your mind

456
00:23:58.160 --> 00:24:00.880
<v Speaker 2>right now, you're a home run Now ties you with

457
00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:04.839
<v Speaker 2>Corey Seeger and Justin Turner for the most postseason home

458
00:24:04.920 --> 00:24:08.480
<v Speaker 2>runs and Dodger franchise history. Pretty good company with a

459
00:24:08.519 --> 00:24:10.400
<v Speaker 2>couple of guys that I know you still love.

460
00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:12.920
<v Speaker 13>Oh yeah, man, it's definitely good company. Considering one of

461
00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:15.039
<v Speaker 13>those guys hit almost all thirteen of them in u

462
00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:17.039
<v Speaker 13>in one in one season. That guy is a World

463
00:24:17.079 --> 00:24:19.640
<v Speaker 13>Series So, uh, you know, it's it's it's an honor,

464
00:24:19.680 --> 00:24:22.599
<v Speaker 13>it's a blessing. Uh uh you know, it's just, you know,

465
00:24:23.119 --> 00:24:25.160
<v Speaker 13>the biggest thing to me as I have that opportunity

466
00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:27.960
<v Speaker 13>to do that every single year being in the postseason.

467
00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:29.759
<v Speaker 13>And that's that's the best part about being on the Dodgers,

468
00:24:29.799 --> 00:24:30.839
<v Speaker 13>as you know you're gona have a chance to get

469
00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:32.599
<v Speaker 13>there and win a World Series, and uh, you know,

470
00:24:32.640 --> 00:24:33.960
<v Speaker 13>that's that's the plan. We got to take care of

471
00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:36.440
<v Speaker 13>business tonight and uh, you know, take care of business

472
00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:37.599
<v Speaker 13>tomorrow and we'll see what happens.

473
00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:40.079
<v Speaker 2>Thanks a lot, Muncie for stop and appreciate it. It's

474
00:24:40.079 --> 00:24:42.039
<v Speaker 2>a pleasure watching you do your thing.

475
00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:43.400
<v Speaker 13>Thank you, I appreciate it.

476
00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:46.880
<v Speaker 2>There he is Max Munsey with a big night for

477
00:24:46.920 --> 00:24:49.799
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers and their eight nothing win over the Mets

478
00:24:49.839 --> 00:24:53.359
<v Speaker 2>in Game three of the NLCS. So let's go out

479
00:24:53.359 --> 00:24:57.440
<v Speaker 2>to Whittier. Nick, you're on Dodger Talk with David vasse Hi. Nick.

480
00:24:58.480 --> 00:25:00.920
<v Speaker 14>Hey, Dave, I gotta tell you, man, number one, you're

481
00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:03.599
<v Speaker 14>the best brother. When you're on a Petro for money,

482
00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:06.799
<v Speaker 14>I got a podcast that thing every day. You're fantastic,

483
00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:09.759
<v Speaker 14>So thank you for that. And I gotta get credit

484
00:25:09.799 --> 00:25:13.640
<v Speaker 14>to Dave roberts absolutely, and I got Dave roberts Man.

485
00:25:13.720 --> 00:25:16.920
<v Speaker 14>He's just on fire Man. He brings up Max Munk

486
00:25:16.960 --> 00:25:19.519
<v Speaker 14>in the lineup and the guy's killing it, killing it

487
00:25:19.559 --> 00:25:22.839
<v Speaker 14>and Bueller today was on fire. I know his sleeper

488
00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:25.039
<v Speaker 14>was kind of outside most of the time, but to

489
00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:28.480
<v Speaker 14>do the baller man, to do the playoff performer, so

490
00:25:28.519 --> 00:25:29.599
<v Speaker 14>we got to keep the scene going.

491
00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:32.799
<v Speaker 2>Let's go, all right, Nick, thanks for the phone call. Yeah,

492
00:25:32.839 --> 00:25:35.440
<v Speaker 2>Dave Roberts is pushing all the right buttons, and when

493
00:25:35.880 --> 00:25:38.920
<v Speaker 2>the players performed, they made him look like a genius,

494
00:25:39.079 --> 00:25:43.160
<v Speaker 2>especially when he's bringing in so many different pitchers, because

495
00:25:43.559 --> 00:25:46.519
<v Speaker 2>let's face it, the Dodger starters are a little thin

496
00:25:47.079 --> 00:25:50.079
<v Speaker 2>and throwing a lot of pitches in a short amount

497
00:25:50.119 --> 00:25:53.640
<v Speaker 2>of time. In the postseason Walker Bueller ninety pitches and

498
00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:56.559
<v Speaker 2>four scoreless, Dave Roberts has to go to the bullpen.

499
00:25:56.880 --> 00:25:59.559
<v Speaker 2>And I love that Dave Roberts went to the high

500
00:25:59.680 --> 00:26:04.599
<v Speaker 2>leverage relievers right away, because what he's thinking is, I'm

501
00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:07.480
<v Speaker 2>going to bring in my high leverage relievers early in

502
00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:11.279
<v Speaker 2>the game after Walker Buehler and count on my offense

503
00:26:11.359 --> 00:26:15.880
<v Speaker 2>to score against this Mets pitching staff. And from there,

504
00:26:16.319 --> 00:26:18.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm counting on the fact that I may not have

505
00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:23.160
<v Speaker 2>to use all my high leverage relievers. That's what he

506
00:26:23.359 --> 00:26:27.400
<v Speaker 2>was thinking. You know, it's it's I don't know why

507
00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:31.519
<v Speaker 2>it's so difficult for the national broadcasters to wrap their

508
00:26:31.599 --> 00:26:34.640
<v Speaker 2>head around it. The Dodgers are banking on their lineups

509
00:26:34.680 --> 00:26:36.920
<v Speaker 2>scoring more runs so they can keep the Mets at

510
00:26:36.920 --> 00:26:39.799
<v Speaker 2>a zero early in the game and extend their lead

511
00:26:39.839 --> 00:26:44.519
<v Speaker 2>and use lower leverage guys at the end. Most teams

512
00:26:44.599 --> 00:26:47.240
<v Speaker 2>at that point in time, after Walker Buehler comes out,

513
00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:51.240
<v Speaker 2>they'll go to their long guy. And basically, what a

514
00:26:51.319 --> 00:26:53.920
<v Speaker 2>long guy is in a bullpen is a guy that's

515
00:26:53.960 --> 00:26:57.480
<v Speaker 2>not very good and is not good enough to be

516
00:26:57.839 --> 00:27:00.319
<v Speaker 2>a starting pitcher, is not good enough to be high

517
00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:03.319
<v Speaker 2>leverage reliever. And that's when the game turns on its

518
00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:05.920
<v Speaker 2>head and you might not even get to use you're

519
00:27:05.920 --> 00:27:08.920
<v Speaker 2>a high leverage guy. So I heard that John Smoltz

520
00:27:08.920 --> 00:27:12.440
<v Speaker 2>couldn't really wrap his head around that. It's pretty simple

521
00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:15.319
<v Speaker 2>what Dave Roberts was thinking, and it paid off tonight

522
00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:18.440
<v Speaker 2>because the Dodgers were able to tack on Keith Gave's

523
00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:22.039
<v Speaker 2>big two run home run, followed by Otani's three run

524
00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:25.480
<v Speaker 2>home run as well. So I'm all in with bringing

525
00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:28.920
<v Speaker 2>in Michael Kopek and Blake Trining the way Dave Roberts

526
00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:32.400
<v Speaker 2>deployed them tonight. Eight six six nine, eight seven two

527
00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:36.640
<v Speaker 2>five seventy is the phone number now tomorrow, Yamamoto's on

528
00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:40.319
<v Speaker 2>the mound. Will Smith has struggled coming into the game tonight.

529
00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:44.160
<v Speaker 2>Will Smith pitched really or played really well tonight, not

530
00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:47.279
<v Speaker 2>only getting a couple of hits, but also you heard

531
00:27:47.359 --> 00:27:50.680
<v Speaker 2>Walker Bueller praise him for the way he was calling

532
00:27:50.720 --> 00:27:54.759
<v Speaker 2>the game tonight. But this is the end of the season,

533
00:27:54.839 --> 00:27:58.759
<v Speaker 2>right Will Smith has basically caught every single game for

534
00:27:58.839 --> 00:28:01.759
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers. He's caught more games this year than he

535
00:28:01.799 --> 00:28:05.400
<v Speaker 2>ever has in any one of his seasons before twenty

536
00:28:05.480 --> 00:28:09.519
<v Speaker 2>twenty four. And here's something interesting that stood out to me,

537
00:28:09.680 --> 00:28:13.440
<v Speaker 2>because before the game, I was thinking that it would

538
00:28:13.519 --> 00:28:16.599
<v Speaker 2>be a good idea to give Will Smith the day

539
00:28:16.640 --> 00:28:21.759
<v Speaker 2>off tomorrow and have Austin Barnes catch Yama Moto. The

540
00:28:21.839 --> 00:28:25.480
<v Speaker 2>reason why is because Austin Barnes is really good at

541
00:28:25.480 --> 00:28:28.839
<v Speaker 2>getting the low strikes and what is Yama Moto really

542
00:28:28.839 --> 00:28:32.599
<v Speaker 2>good at throwing his split fingered fastball. And then if

543
00:28:32.599 --> 00:28:36.079
<v Speaker 2>you take a deeper look at it, Will Smith, in

544
00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:40.559
<v Speaker 2>twelve starts for Yamamoto has a catcher's era of three

545
00:28:40.680 --> 00:28:44.880
<v Speaker 2>seventy seven. When Yamamoto pitches to Smith, Yamamoto's era is

546
00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:50.319
<v Speaker 2>three seventy seven. In six starts with Austin Barnes catching Yamamoto.

547
00:28:50.839 --> 00:28:54.240
<v Speaker 2>In twenty eight innings, Yama Moto has only given up

548
00:28:54.279 --> 00:28:58.200
<v Speaker 2>four earned runs. If you're going to give Austin Barnes

549
00:28:58.240 --> 00:29:01.759
<v Speaker 2>a start in this series, tomorrow would be the perfect day.

550
00:29:02.240 --> 00:29:05.880
<v Speaker 2>Eight six, six, two, five seventy is the phone number.

551
00:29:06.119 --> 00:29:09.160
<v Speaker 2>Let's go out to riverside, Josh, you're on Dodger Talk.

552
00:29:09.240 --> 00:29:11.960
<v Speaker 11>Hi, Josh, What's what's going on?

553
00:29:12.319 --> 00:29:14.440
<v Speaker 15>I just want to give a huge shutout to Bueller.

554
00:29:16.400 --> 00:29:18.960
<v Speaker 12>I don't think he got the win today, but he

555
00:29:19.200 --> 00:29:23.640
<v Speaker 12>set a big tone for the Bulltens. Also want to

556
00:29:23.680 --> 00:29:25.880
<v Speaker 12>give a big shot out to Cheek and Hernandez. That

557
00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:28.960
<v Speaker 12>was a huge pickup by the Dodgers. As you can see,

558
00:29:28.960 --> 00:29:31.519
<v Speaker 12>he is showing up for the postseason home run after

559
00:29:31.680 --> 00:29:35.200
<v Speaker 12>home run. You know that'll nice shot.

560
00:29:35.799 --> 00:29:39.079
<v Speaker 15>Almost hit the light. That was a pretty huge shot

561
00:29:39.160 --> 00:29:43.599
<v Speaker 15>by Tani and I was kind of shook for how

562
00:29:43.680 --> 00:29:46.480
<v Speaker 15>high that ball went. It almost felt like a foul ball.

563
00:29:46.519 --> 00:29:48.279
<v Speaker 15>But you know, as he could tell, you could tell

564
00:29:48.319 --> 00:29:50.279
<v Speaker 15>Tony as soon as he hit that ball it was

565
00:29:51.440 --> 00:29:54.000
<v Speaker 15>it was a home run. And then I shoot that

566
00:29:54.039 --> 00:29:57.680
<v Speaker 15>huge plus next month he hitting that single home runs

567
00:29:57.720 --> 00:30:00.759
<v Speaker 15>a you know, little cherry on the top. Also give

568
00:30:01.039 --> 00:30:08.279
<v Speaker 15>a huge shoutout to Roberts. Shoutout, yeah, shoot season for

569
00:30:08.400 --> 00:30:11.960
<v Speaker 15>him and obviously's showing up in the postseason managing this

570
00:30:12.079 --> 00:30:13.359
<v Speaker 15>team very very well.

571
00:30:14.759 --> 00:30:17.640
<v Speaker 2>All right, Josh, I'm sure they all appreciate your shout out.

572
00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:20.880
<v Speaker 2>Eight six six, nine, seven, two five seventy is the

573
00:30:20.880 --> 00:30:24.279
<v Speaker 2>phone number. You know? That home run that Otani hit, Yeah,

574
00:30:24.319 --> 00:30:27.079
<v Speaker 2>he has the best angle at it right, so does

575
00:30:27.079 --> 00:30:30.559
<v Speaker 2>the home played umpire. And the way he was reacting,

576
00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:33.960
<v Speaker 2>he knew as it got closer to that second deck

577
00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:36.319
<v Speaker 2>out there in right field it was going to stay fair.

578
00:30:36.759 --> 00:30:39.559
<v Speaker 2>I remember a home run he hit at Dodgers Stadium

579
00:30:39.960 --> 00:30:43.359
<v Speaker 2>towards the last home stand. I believe it was where

580
00:30:43.759 --> 00:30:48.480
<v Speaker 2>he hit the nineteen eighty one sign right beneath the

581
00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:52.079
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers Stadium club down the right field line. I've never

582
00:30:52.119 --> 00:30:55.519
<v Speaker 2>seen anybody hit it there. I've seen guys hit it

583
00:30:55.559 --> 00:30:57.799
<v Speaker 2>to the Loach level, no doubt, but I've never seen

584
00:30:58.160 --> 00:31:01.720
<v Speaker 2>a player, especially a left canted hitter, hook it that

585
00:31:01.799 --> 00:31:04.720
<v Speaker 2>way and keep it fair and hit it at the

586
00:31:04.720 --> 00:31:07.519
<v Speaker 2>base of the stadium club. So tonight reminded me of

587
00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:10.519
<v Speaker 2>that as well. Eight six six nine eight seven two

588
00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:13.559
<v Speaker 2>five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers shut out the

589
00:31:13.599 --> 00:31:17.400
<v Speaker 2>Mets eight to nothing in Game three of the NLCS.

590
00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:20.400
<v Speaker 2>Let's go out to Monrovia. Frank, you're on Dodger Talk.

591
00:31:20.480 --> 00:31:22.960
<v Speaker 8>Hi, Frank, Barry Dave.

592
00:31:23.720 --> 00:31:25.759
<v Speaker 6>You know, just a couple of things today. First of all,

593
00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:29.640
<v Speaker 6>you know, like everyone else has said, big props to Bueller.

594
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:32.480
<v Speaker 6>You know it's it's, you know, just a proven fact

595
00:31:32.480 --> 00:31:35.400
<v Speaker 6>now that that's starting. You know, those starters in our

596
00:31:35.480 --> 00:31:39.839
<v Speaker 6>rotation set the tone for everyone else. You know, Walker Bueller,

597
00:31:39.880 --> 00:31:41.880
<v Speaker 6>he's had his ups and down to the playoffs, but

598
00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:44.319
<v Speaker 6>today he got into a couple of jams he was

599
00:31:44.359 --> 00:31:46.759
<v Speaker 6>able to get out of him out of them. Really

600
00:31:46.759 --> 00:31:49.519
<v Speaker 6>showed some leadership there. The other thing is, you know,

601
00:31:49.680 --> 00:31:51.880
<v Speaker 6>just a question for you is what type of rotation

602
00:31:51.920 --> 00:31:54.839
<v Speaker 6>should we expect from the Mets tomorrow because you know,

603
00:31:54.880 --> 00:31:57.240
<v Speaker 6>if they tried today just did you know it just

604
00:31:57.400 --> 00:32:00.599
<v Speaker 6>the bottom fell out. And then the last thing, it's

605
00:32:00.640 --> 00:32:02.559
<v Speaker 6>really just a shout out to all the blue who

606
00:32:02.599 --> 00:32:05.759
<v Speaker 6>are there at New Shea Stadium or whatever the hell

607
00:32:05.839 --> 00:32:07.400
<v Speaker 6>you want to call it, you.

608
00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:10.119
<v Speaker 2>Know, City Field, that's what they want to call it.

609
00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:14.279
<v Speaker 2>You Hey, thank you, I appreciate it. Frank, thank you

610
00:32:14.319 --> 00:32:16.000
<v Speaker 2>for the phone call. Yeah, that's what they want to

611
00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:19.759
<v Speaker 2>call it. City Field. I like coming here. I actually

612
00:32:19.880 --> 00:32:22.759
<v Speaker 2>like it here more than New Yankee Stadium because it

613
00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:26.200
<v Speaker 2>has that old time ballpark field. Maybe because when you

614
00:32:26.319 --> 00:32:32.359
<v Speaker 2>drive up that front rotunda was built to give a

615
00:32:32.359 --> 00:32:35.319
<v Speaker 2>tip of the cap to EBITs Field, because the former

616
00:32:35.359 --> 00:32:38.599
<v Speaker 2>Mets owner grew up a big Dodger Brooklyn Dodgers fan

617
00:32:38.720 --> 00:32:41.039
<v Speaker 2>and grew up going to games at EBITs Field. So

618
00:32:41.480 --> 00:32:43.319
<v Speaker 2>if you ever have a chance to get out here

619
00:32:43.319 --> 00:32:47.079
<v Speaker 2>to see the Dodgers play the Mets, whether it's before

620
00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:50.359
<v Speaker 2>the next two games here at the NLCS or next

621
00:32:50.400 --> 00:32:53.079
<v Speaker 2>year in the regular season, it is one of those

622
00:32:53.359 --> 00:32:56.359
<v Speaker 2>cool ballparks that you want to check out. It has

623
00:32:57.200 --> 00:33:00.359
<v Speaker 2>a great sight lines, and I love coming through that

624
00:33:00.880 --> 00:33:05.599
<v Speaker 2>Jackie Robinson Rotunda. They have a lot of homage murals

625
00:33:05.640 --> 00:33:08.200
<v Speaker 2>to Jackie Robinson when you walk in the front entrance

626
00:33:08.240 --> 00:33:12.000
<v Speaker 2>here at City Field. So that's why I like it here.

627
00:33:12.119 --> 00:33:14.960
<v Speaker 2>Reminds me of Ebittsfield. Has an old time ballpark feel.

628
00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:17.799
<v Speaker 2>And speaking of the old time Dodgers, we saw a

629
00:33:17.839 --> 00:33:21.200
<v Speaker 2>few of them out here today. Mariano Duncan was here.

630
00:33:21.319 --> 00:33:24.359
<v Speaker 2>He waved to me and John Suhu, the Dodgers photographer

631
00:33:24.680 --> 00:33:28.480
<v Speaker 2>from behind the Mets dugout. Andre Ethier was in the

632
00:33:28.519 --> 00:33:32.039
<v Speaker 2>house tonight. He flew in from the desert to cheer

633
00:33:32.079 --> 00:33:34.759
<v Speaker 2>on the Dodgers. So that was great to see andre

634
00:33:34.920 --> 00:33:38.039
<v Speaker 2>Ethier here. Raoula Baniez, who was part of the Dodgers

635
00:33:38.079 --> 00:33:41.160
<v Speaker 2>front office, was in the house. And how about this

636
00:33:41.680 --> 00:33:45.519
<v Speaker 2>little known fact that John Franco, one of the great

637
00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:49.240
<v Speaker 2>closers of his generation with the Reds and the Mets,

638
00:33:49.880 --> 00:33:54.000
<v Speaker 2>was actually drafted and developed by the Dodgers, but was

639
00:33:54.119 --> 00:33:57.240
<v Speaker 2>traded before he ever made his major league debut to

640
00:33:57.279 --> 00:34:01.559
<v Speaker 2>the Cincinnati Reds. One of Al campanas his worst trades

641
00:34:01.880 --> 00:34:06.039
<v Speaker 2>when he traded John Franco, a little known reliever for

642
00:34:06.319 --> 00:34:10.960
<v Speaker 2>a utility player by the name of Raphael Landstoy. Yep,

643
00:34:11.239 --> 00:34:14.079
<v Speaker 2>that happened. That was another one that got away. And

644
00:34:14.199 --> 00:34:16.960
<v Speaker 2>I saw Franco today and I said, hey, one of

645
00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:20.840
<v Speaker 2>our Campanis's worst trades trading you. He said, hey, when

646
00:34:20.920 --> 00:34:23.480
<v Speaker 2>Raphael Landistoy sees me, he tells me I owe him

647
00:34:23.480 --> 00:34:26.159
<v Speaker 2>a lot of money, so he knows. If you know

648
00:34:26.480 --> 00:34:29.440
<v Speaker 2>Dodger history, you know John Franco was in their minor

649
00:34:29.480 --> 00:34:33.039
<v Speaker 2>league organization. So great to see them. And speaking of shoutouts,

650
00:34:33.039 --> 00:34:35.039
<v Speaker 2>I know we had a caller just go through a

651
00:34:35.079 --> 00:34:37.440
<v Speaker 2>whole lineup of shoutouts, but I want to give a

652
00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:41.519
<v Speaker 2>shout out to Melissa Luna of Yogurtland, who's a huge

653
00:34:41.599 --> 00:34:44.960
<v Speaker 2>Dodger fan and listens to Dodger Talk. She's helping me

654
00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:49.079
<v Speaker 2>out to make the family happy. She had some Yogurtland

655
00:34:49.079 --> 00:34:52.719
<v Speaker 2>delivered to the kids and wife last night while I'm

656
00:34:52.760 --> 00:34:55.280
<v Speaker 2>out on the East Coast, so they were very happy.

657
00:34:55.360 --> 00:34:57.639
<v Speaker 2>And I need all the help I can get these

658
00:34:57.719 --> 00:35:01.760
<v Speaker 2>days since I'm on the road with the Dodgers hoping

659
00:35:01.800 --> 00:35:04.960
<v Speaker 2>to get to the World Series with them and the family,

660
00:35:05.039 --> 00:35:08.679
<v Speaker 2>and my wife's doing a great job holding things down

661
00:35:08.719 --> 00:35:12.360
<v Speaker 2>back at home with school and everything else. So thank

662
00:35:12.400 --> 00:35:16.480
<v Speaker 2>you Melissa Luna for helping me build score some points

663
00:35:16.519 --> 00:35:19.800
<v Speaker 2>back at home because I basically live in the doghouse.

664
00:35:20.119 --> 00:35:23.440
<v Speaker 2>Let's go out to Huntington Beach. Chris, you're on Dodger Talk.

665
00:35:23.440 --> 00:35:24.519
<v Speaker 2>How you doing, Chris?

666
00:35:25.400 --> 00:35:28.400
<v Speaker 11>Hey, I'm doing great. Let's go Dodgers.

667
00:35:29.679 --> 00:35:31.239
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, now you're feeling good, right.

668
00:35:31.320 --> 00:35:34.800
<v Speaker 2>You were probably very nervous after Game two, but now

669
00:35:34.800 --> 00:35:36.719
<v Speaker 2>you're back on board.

670
00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:42.480
<v Speaker 11>I was nervous in the Padres series. After that first two,

671
00:35:42.760 --> 00:35:45.840
<v Speaker 11>I was really nervous, That's what I was, super nervous.

672
00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:48.840
<v Speaker 11>Now I'm feeling good now, you know, because the boys

673
00:35:48.880 --> 00:35:51.239
<v Speaker 11>are feeling good. They're dancing and they're doing their thing.

674
00:35:52.199 --> 00:35:54.119
<v Speaker 11>That's the way the Dodgers need to be playing. They

675
00:35:54.159 --> 00:35:57.000
<v Speaker 11>need to be dancing and having fun. And if they're

676
00:35:57.039 --> 00:35:59.480
<v Speaker 11>having fun, they're doing good. And now the show, Hey

677
00:35:59.559 --> 00:36:03.639
<v Speaker 11>is gout and he's having fun now, and now everybody's

678
00:36:03.719 --> 00:36:05.599
<v Speaker 11>vibe and I think they're doing I think we got this.

679
00:36:05.679 --> 00:36:06.679
<v Speaker 11>It's gonna be good.

680
00:36:07.119 --> 00:36:09.840
<v Speaker 2>All right, Chris, thank you for the phone call. Appreciate it.

681
00:36:10.159 --> 00:36:13.559
<v Speaker 2>I was on the team bus that left the hotel

682
00:36:13.679 --> 00:36:18.400
<v Speaker 2>around two thirty and Walker Buehlers sat two rows ahead

683
00:36:18.400 --> 00:36:20.840
<v Speaker 2>of me. He was locked in. He had the headphones on,

684
00:36:21.360 --> 00:36:24.840
<v Speaker 2>he had his head down. He was locked in more

685
00:36:24.880 --> 00:36:28.119
<v Speaker 2>than I usually see him on start days. Usually he'll

686
00:36:28.119 --> 00:36:31.119
<v Speaker 2>get on the bus and he'll talk some trash, and

687
00:36:31.159 --> 00:36:33.719
<v Speaker 2>he's a talker on start day. He's not like Kershaw

688
00:36:33.760 --> 00:36:36.400
<v Speaker 2>where you don't even want to make eye contact. But

689
00:36:36.480 --> 00:36:40.079
<v Speaker 2>today was different. He was locked in. He knew how

690
00:36:40.079 --> 00:36:42.960
<v Speaker 2>big of a start this was for the Dodgers and

691
00:36:43.039 --> 00:36:45.920
<v Speaker 2>for him, and he was locked in from the moment

692
00:36:46.039 --> 00:36:48.239
<v Speaker 2>he got on the bus, and I was very confident

693
00:36:48.519 --> 00:36:51.039
<v Speaker 2>that he was going to deliver, and he certainly did.

694
00:36:51.079 --> 00:36:54.239
<v Speaker 2>He emptied the tank through four innings and gave the

695
00:36:54.280 --> 00:36:57.320
<v Speaker 2>Dodger offense a chance to score runs and more runs,

696
00:36:57.320 --> 00:36:59.239
<v Speaker 2>and they were able to do that. They go on

697
00:36:59.280 --> 00:37:01.599
<v Speaker 2>to beat the Mets eight to nothing. Let's go out

698
00:37:01.639 --> 00:37:05.280
<v Speaker 2>to Hollywood, Jesse. You're on Dodger Talk Live from City Field.

699
00:37:05.320 --> 00:37:09.519
<v Speaker 16>Hi, Jesse, Hey, Daves, how you doing, man, I'm doing great,

700
00:37:10.840 --> 00:37:13.559
<v Speaker 16>good well. Yeah, shout out to you for all you do.

701
00:37:13.639 --> 00:37:15.840
<v Speaker 16>Thanks so much. I listened for years. Is the first

702
00:37:15.880 --> 00:37:19.000
<v Speaker 16>time I've called since twenty seventeen, actually, but hey, that

703
00:37:19.079 --> 00:37:22.280
<v Speaker 16>was a good year and I had what wonderful year,

704
00:37:22.519 --> 00:37:25.400
<v Speaker 16>A wonderful year that we still look at sort of

705
00:37:25.400 --> 00:37:27.079
<v Speaker 16>with disappointment. But it was a great team.

706
00:37:27.920 --> 00:37:31.960
<v Speaker 2>He Jesse, Since you brought up twenty seventeen, I just

707
00:37:32.360 --> 00:37:34.800
<v Speaker 2>I just want to bring up something from twenty seventeen

708
00:37:34.920 --> 00:37:38.239
<v Speaker 2>because those players were so tight and even some of

709
00:37:38.239 --> 00:37:40.719
<v Speaker 2>those guys that still are not on the team are

710
00:37:41.559 --> 00:37:45.159
<v Speaker 2>still connected to guys like Buehler and Barnes and Munsey

711
00:37:45.239 --> 00:37:48.039
<v Speaker 2>and key K And I don't know how active you

712
00:37:48.119 --> 00:37:51.280
<v Speaker 2>are on Twitter. But Alex wood who was so good

713
00:37:51.360 --> 00:37:54.440
<v Speaker 2>for the Dodgers in twenty seventeen, Yeah, in my opinion,

714
00:37:54.480 --> 00:37:58.440
<v Speaker 2>should have started Game seven, was tweeting throughout the game tonight,

715
00:37:59.000 --> 00:38:02.559
<v Speaker 2>cheering on Keyk, cheering on Bueler. So you bringing up

716
00:38:02.559 --> 00:38:05.320
<v Speaker 2>twenty seventeen reminded me of one of my favorite Dodgers,

717
00:38:05.599 --> 00:38:08.239
<v Speaker 2>one of the great competitors. Alex would sorry.

718
00:38:08.079 --> 00:38:10.920
<v Speaker 16>Go ahead, awesome I missed. I miss Alex. Would be

719
00:38:11.000 --> 00:38:13.159
<v Speaker 16>good to have Woody Beck, but I know that's not

720
00:38:13.199 --> 00:38:16.639
<v Speaker 16>going to happen. I'm also a diehard JT fan, so

721
00:38:16.760 --> 00:38:19.760
<v Speaker 16>miss think of JT often while watching these playoff games.

722
00:38:19.840 --> 00:38:22.280
<v Speaker 2>Hey, he was texting me during the game. Justin Turner

723
00:38:22.400 --> 00:38:23.599
<v Speaker 2>was watching the game tonight.

724
00:38:24.639 --> 00:38:25.239
<v Speaker 8>Amazing.

725
00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:28.960
<v Speaker 16>Oh that makes me happy. Yeah, we got to go

726
00:38:29.000 --> 00:38:30.920
<v Speaker 16>to that game that he came in with the Mariners

727
00:38:30.960 --> 00:38:33.760
<v Speaker 16>and we kind of celebrated him with that with that

728
00:38:33.800 --> 00:38:34.360
<v Speaker 16>video and everything.

729
00:38:34.440 --> 00:38:36.320
<v Speaker 14>Got to see his baby. So okay.

730
00:38:36.400 --> 00:38:38.960
<v Speaker 16>The question, my question is that my girlfriend and I

731
00:38:39.039 --> 00:38:42.079
<v Speaker 16>were talking about this watching the game tonight, but Freddie

732
00:38:42.119 --> 00:38:45.599
<v Speaker 16>continuing to play on this ankle. I don't know if

733
00:38:45.639 --> 00:38:47.840
<v Speaker 16>you have any information on this or not, but is

734
00:38:47.880 --> 00:38:52.400
<v Speaker 16>there any chance that of potential long term damage continuing

735
00:38:52.400 --> 00:38:54.599
<v Speaker 16>to play the way he has been on the ankle,

736
00:38:54.599 --> 00:38:57.480
<v Speaker 16>because it's amazing. It's like, you know, such a testament

737
00:38:57.519 --> 00:39:00.239
<v Speaker 16>to the man and the professional he is that he's

738
00:39:00.320 --> 00:39:02.440
<v Speaker 16>going out there the way he has been. But it

739
00:39:02.519 --> 00:39:05.480
<v Speaker 16>also makes me concerned as a Freddie fan and someone

740
00:39:05.599 --> 00:39:07.639
<v Speaker 16>you know, looking forward to watching him play for the

741
00:39:07.679 --> 00:39:11.760
<v Speaker 16>team for years. What does this mean for further down

742
00:39:11.800 --> 00:39:13.000
<v Speaker 16>the line. Do you have any idea?

743
00:39:14.079 --> 00:39:17.360
<v Speaker 2>Well, Freddie Freeman said himself that the trainers assured him

744
00:39:17.400 --> 00:39:20.480
<v Speaker 2>he can't do any more damage to the ankle, so

745
00:39:20.519 --> 00:39:24.800
<v Speaker 2>that's the reason why he's playing, So that that's the answer.

746
00:39:24.960 --> 00:39:27.719
<v Speaker 2>It's not going to have a long term effect on him.

747
00:39:28.280 --> 00:39:30.760
<v Speaker 16>Amazing. So he's just amazing, Jesse.

748
00:39:32.119 --> 00:39:34.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, at this point in time, right, it just

749
00:39:35.000 --> 00:39:38.480
<v Speaker 2>shows how much Freddie believes in the chances of the

750
00:39:38.519 --> 00:39:41.079
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers winning the World Series. For him playing on an

751
00:39:41.119 --> 00:39:41.760
<v Speaker 2>ankle like.

752
00:39:41.719 --> 00:39:46.360
<v Speaker 16>This, Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, hopefully hopefully it'll be this year.

753

754
00:39:50.039 --> 00:39:53.239

755
00:39:53.280 --> 00:39:54.440
<v Speaker 2>beat the Yankees too.

756
00:39:55.360 --> 00:39:58.079

760
00:40:08.920 --> 00:40:12.519
<v Speaker 2>Jose Kintana. He was the starting pitcher for the Cubs

761
00:40:12.639 --> 00:40:16.960

766
00:40:31.480 --> 00:40:34.320
<v Speaker 2>home runs off of Cantana. He hit the first of

767
00:40:34.400 --> 00:40:37.960
<v Speaker 2>his three against Jose Kntana, the left handed starter for
