1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:04.280
<v Speaker 1>Now your host for playoff Dodger Toss sound off Angelinos

2
00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:05.280
<v Speaker 1>David Vasse.

3
00:00:07.759 --> 00:00:11.160
<v Speaker 2>We are live at Techo Park after the Dodgers fall

4
00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:14.439
<v Speaker 2>to the Padres in Game three of the NLDS six

5
00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:18.839
<v Speaker 2>to five. This is Dodger Talk David Vase, live at

6
00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:22.160
<v Speaker 2>Pecho Park in San Diego, taking your phone calls until

7
00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:25.519
<v Speaker 2>ten thirty tonight at eight six six nine, eight seven

8
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:28.839
<v Speaker 2>two five seventy. As you know, I don't need to

9
00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:32.759
<v Speaker 2>remind you. The Dodgers' backs are against the wall. It's

10
00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:37.280
<v Speaker 2>winner go home tomorrow night in Game four of the NLDS,

11
00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:40.439
<v Speaker 2>and they are going with a bullpen game. The Padres

12
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:44.560
<v Speaker 2>are going with Dylan Cease on three days rest. A

13
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:47.679
<v Speaker 2>couple of things about this game before we hear from

14
00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:50.840
<v Speaker 2>Walker Bueller, from Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman.

15
00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:54.280
<v Speaker 3>That second inning, you gave up six.

16
00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:57.759
<v Speaker 2>Runs, Walker Buehler, in that second inning, That's a tough

17
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:01.439
<v Speaker 2>way to win a playoff game. Mueller threw thirty three

18
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:05.359
<v Speaker 2>pitches in that inning. I applaud him from hanging in

19
00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:09.359
<v Speaker 2>there to be able to go five innings tonight, but

20
00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:13.519
<v Speaker 2>that second inning was disastrous. That did the Dodgers in

21
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:17.200
<v Speaker 2>and you look back at that inning, a few different

22
00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:20.159
<v Speaker 2>things happened. The number one thing that stood out to

23
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:24.519
<v Speaker 2>me was Walker Buehler had two strikes on virtually every

24
00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:28.159
<v Speaker 2>one of the eight hitters that he faced or nine hitters,

25
00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:31.920
<v Speaker 2>because they batted around in that inning and he could

26
00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:35.599
<v Speaker 2>not put them away. For the most part, two fastball

27
00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:39.640
<v Speaker 2>to Fernando Tattis Junior, he didn't miss it. The double

28
00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:43.040
<v Speaker 2>by David Parolta down the line that scored two. Two

29
00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:45.879
<v Speaker 2>strikes on David Parolta couldn't put them away.

30
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:47.319
<v Speaker 3>So I know, we.

31
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:50.040
<v Speaker 2>Could talk about the flip play to Gavin Lux that

32
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:54.359
<v Speaker 2>wasn't made, or many Machado being in the line for

33
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:58.400
<v Speaker 2>obstruction or interference. But if Walker Buehler is able to

34
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:01.359
<v Speaker 2>put away those hitters, it's a different game and it's

35
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:05.159
<v Speaker 2>a different inning, and that's unfortunate when you go back

36
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:08.039
<v Speaker 2>and look at those plays in the second inning. Number one,

37
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:11.159
<v Speaker 2>Miguel Rojas most certainly should have tossed the ball to

38
00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:15.199
<v Speaker 2>Gavin Lux on the ground ball by Xander Bogart's that

39
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:20.520
<v Speaker 2>was a huge misplay that cost the Dodgers. Jackson Merrill's

40
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:24.039
<v Speaker 2>the runner, He's a fast runner. Miguel Rojas, as we

41
00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:26.680
<v Speaker 2>found out. Doesn't have a lot of range with the

42
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:31.000
<v Speaker 2>left groin adductor thing that's going on with him. So

43
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:33.599
<v Speaker 2>why are you trying to take it to the bag

44
00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:37.240
<v Speaker 2>and beat a foot race with Jackson Merrill and try

45
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:41.280
<v Speaker 2>to throw make an unassisted double play. Toss the ball

46
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:44.680
<v Speaker 2>to Gavin lux who yes, was at the bag and

47
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:48.000
<v Speaker 2>ready for the throw. You have to get the out

48
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:51.039
<v Speaker 2>right there, and you have to know what your limits are.

49
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:53.919
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure if he could do it over again he would,

50
00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:57.639
<v Speaker 2>But that extended the inning and put runners at first

51
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:00.719
<v Speaker 2>and second for David Peralta, who hit double down the

52
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:03.400
<v Speaker 2>right field line to score two more runs. So at

53
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:09.199
<v Speaker 2>that point three runs were in and the avalanche was happening,

54
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:14.479
<v Speaker 2>you know, Manny Machado single, and then the interference call

55
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:18.520
<v Speaker 2>on the ground ball by Jackson Merrill. He should have

56
00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:21.280
<v Speaker 2>been out. He should have been called for interference. I

57
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:25.560
<v Speaker 2>don't know how the umpire misses that. Apparently, Miguel Rojas

58
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:29.639
<v Speaker 2>told the reporters that the umpire at second base tonight

59
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:33.280
<v Speaker 2>told him that, and that was trip. Gibson told him,

60
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:36.639
<v Speaker 2>I was looking at the bag, not at Manny Machado's

61
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:41.000
<v Speaker 2>bass line, and how he was out of the base line.

62
00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:42.719
<v Speaker 3>In my opinion and most.

63
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:46.639
<v Speaker 2>Everybody else's what about all these other umpires? You're telling

64
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:50.159
<v Speaker 2>me the first base umpire, Dan Bellino can't make that call.

65
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:52.360
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you got extra umpires.

66
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:55.240
<v Speaker 2>Now you're telling me you guys can't get together and

67
00:03:55.479 --> 00:03:58.960
<v Speaker 2>figure it out. That's not a reviewable play either. So

68
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:02.599
<v Speaker 2>that change the complexion of the inning as well. So

69
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:06.639
<v Speaker 2>that six run second inning did the Dodgers in the

70
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:11.199
<v Speaker 2>Padres never scored in any other inning except that second inning.

71
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:14.800
<v Speaker 2>And I'll say this as well for the Dodgers, they

72
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:18.680
<v Speaker 2>have shown more fight in this game and in this

73
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:22.759
<v Speaker 2>NLDS than what we seen the last two years in

74
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:25.639
<v Speaker 2>the postseason from them. So I give them credit for that,

75
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:30.160
<v Speaker 2>But that doesn't mean anything if you're going home tomorrow

76
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:32.120
<v Speaker 2>and the Dodgers have got to find a way to

77
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:35.199
<v Speaker 2>force a Game five and bring it back to Dodgers Stadium.

78
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:37.920
<v Speaker 2>And you know, I know, I said tonight was a

79
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:40.439
<v Speaker 2>must win for the Dodgers, and I firmly believe that

80
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:44.079
<v Speaker 2>their job would have been a lot easier tomorrow going into.

81
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:45.480
<v Speaker 3>The game with a bullpen game.

82
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:47.759
<v Speaker 2>I mean, here we are again, they don't have a

83
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:52.319
<v Speaker 2>starter in an elimination game. Last year was Lance Linnen. Tomorrow,

84
00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:54.079
<v Speaker 2>they're going with a bullpen game.

85
00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:55.319
<v Speaker 3>That's not ideal.

86
00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:58.279
<v Speaker 2>And we all knew going into this series and into

87
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:02.480
<v Speaker 2>October the Dodgers did not have a strong starting pitching staff.

88
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:05.959
<v Speaker 2>But nonetheless that's where they are. But I will say this,

89
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:09.519
<v Speaker 2>after what I saw tonight and ta Oscar Hernandez hitting

90
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:13.240
<v Speaker 2>that Grand Slam and the Dodgers setting the table for him,

91
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:16.639
<v Speaker 2>They're not going away easy like they did last year.

92
00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:18.040
<v Speaker 3>I can guarantee that.

93
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:22.040
<v Speaker 2>Eight six six, seven, two, five seventy is the phone number.

94
00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:24.519
<v Speaker 2>We have a full boarder calls. We will get you

95
00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:27.439
<v Speaker 2>in a second, but first let's head downstairs to hear

96
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:28.519
<v Speaker 2>from Walker Buehler.

97
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:31.040
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean, mentally, you're done six one. You just

98
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:34.600
<v Speaker 4>give up six runs, And you know, at some point

99
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:38.600
<v Speaker 4>even in five game series, the bullpen usage is a thing.

100
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:42.199
<v Speaker 4>And you gave up the homer to Acona in eighteen

101
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:45.199
<v Speaker 4>and and got through three after that in kind of

102
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:49.920
<v Speaker 4>similar situation. But I remember having a ton of pride

103
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:53.319
<v Speaker 4>about getting through five innings in that game and kind

104
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:57.319
<v Speaker 4>of feel similarly about this one. And obviously Teo, you know,

105
00:05:57.399 --> 00:05:59.759
<v Speaker 4>lands A Linds a big punch for us, and gets

106
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:02.720
<v Speaker 4>his back in there, and you know, we come up

107
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:05.480
<v Speaker 4>one one run short and give up the home er

108
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:07.560
<v Speaker 4>to Tatis that you know, there was a bunch of

109
00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:09.639
<v Speaker 4>mayhem and then I made a bad o two pitch

110
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:11.560
<v Speaker 4>and and you know, he kind of.

111
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:12.199
<v Speaker 3>Does what he does.

112
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:16.439
<v Speaker 4>And you can't give up six runs in an inning

113
00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:21.560
<v Speaker 4>in the playoffs and and expect to win. So you know,

114
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:23.319
<v Speaker 4>there's some things that I have some pride about about

115
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:25.839
<v Speaker 4>that game. But at the end of the day, I

116
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:28.439
<v Speaker 4>put us in a really bad spot and and we

117
00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:31.759
<v Speaker 4>fought back, and I just you know, the spot was

118
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:32.399
<v Speaker 4>too big.

119
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:34.959
<v Speaker 5>Just considering just the fight back. I mean, what does

120
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:37.120
<v Speaker 5>that say about this team and understanding what you guys

121
00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:40.000
<v Speaker 5>are coming into tomorrow and must win situation. But do

122
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:41.920
<v Speaker 5>you feel like just seeing how this team pop back,

123
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:44.399
<v Speaker 5>it did show something that puts you on a good

124
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:45.920
<v Speaker 5>spot potentially for tomorrow.

125
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:48.759
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean, losing six to five, are being down

126
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:51.040
<v Speaker 4>six to one is definitely better than you know, losing

127
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:55.879
<v Speaker 4>twenty nothing. So you know, our guys in here like

128
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:58.720
<v Speaker 4>being around each other. I want to keep playing, want

129
00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:02.519
<v Speaker 4>to want to go compete together, and you know, I

130
00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:05.920
<v Speaker 4>don't think that's something that we've we've never had, but

131
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:08.639
<v Speaker 4>but having it is important and this team certainly, lad.

132
00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:11.600
<v Speaker 6>Us, how did you feel out there? Physically and emotionally

133
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:15.199
<v Speaker 6>on the Physically felt great, emotionally good. You know, I

134
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:17.600
<v Speaker 6>think that's just one of those early endings. Man, It's

135
00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:21.560
<v Speaker 6>it's hard to kind of explain, you know, some grandma's here.

136
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:23.399
<v Speaker 3>All right, let's send it right there, Colin.

137
00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:27.360
<v Speaker 2>That was I feel like nobody's asking the questions that

138
00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:29.639
<v Speaker 2>need to be asked to Walker Buehler at that point.

139
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:33.639
<v Speaker 2>Disappointing start for him anyway you slice it up. He

140
00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:36.240
<v Speaker 2>gave up six runs in the second inning. That's not

141
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:39.680
<v Speaker 2>good enough. Eight six, six, nine eighty seven two five

142
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:42.920
<v Speaker 2>seventy is the phone number. Let's go out to the phones.

143
00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:46.680
<v Speaker 2>Mike and Rancho kucka manga. You're on Dodger Talk with

144
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:47.879
<v Speaker 2>David vasse Hi.

145
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:51.040
<v Speaker 7>Mike, Hey, David, how are you well?

146
00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:51.879
<v Speaker 8>I know how you're feeling.

147
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:52.920
<v Speaker 7>I'm feeling the same way.

148
00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:58.199
<v Speaker 8>Actually, so apologies for even asking the question. I have

149
00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:02.240
<v Speaker 8>a couple of points. One, I got to give Roberts

150
00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:05.279
<v Speaker 8>his kudos for kind of managing the bullpen the way

151
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:10.639
<v Speaker 8>that he did. Yeah, you know, Bueller gave up those

152
00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:15.319
<v Speaker 8>six runs. Early, you know, but he gave us an

153
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:19.560
<v Speaker 8>opportunity to get outs and our infield wasn't able to

154
00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:24.240
<v Speaker 8>turn those plays. So you know, I commend Walker. I

155
00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:27.240
<v Speaker 8>commend Walker for his postgame interview. I think he took

156
00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:30.000
<v Speaker 8>it on the chin. He didn't even mention, you know,

157
00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:32.639
<v Speaker 8>those those ground balls that should have been out, those

158
00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:35.799
<v Speaker 8>opportunities to be outs. And that gets me to my

159
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:40.279
<v Speaker 8>point about where I'm gonna have to knock Dave Roberts

160
00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:43.879
<v Speaker 8>for not taking out Maggie row there early enough, given

161
00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:47.320
<v Speaker 8>Key k Hernandez an opportunity to play this game, to

162
00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:49.559
<v Speaker 8>take some at bats. He's a gamer, you know, you

163
00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:53.240
<v Speaker 8>got to give him an opportunity to game, and he

164
00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:55.039
<v Speaker 8>didn't even see him at bad you know, I would

165
00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:57.840
<v Speaker 8>have liked to see him there in place of luck

166
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:00.879
<v Speaker 8>and given him an opportunity to maybe changed this game,

167
00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:02.720
<v Speaker 8>but he didn't. He kept them on the bench, she

168
00:09:02.759 --> 00:09:05.679
<v Speaker 8>didn't even use him. And it's a bullet in the holsters.

169
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:09.799
<v Speaker 8>So all the way around, Michael.

170
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:12.120
<v Speaker 3>I found, like Mike, I agree with you.

171
00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:15.679
<v Speaker 2>I was surprised when Miguel Rojas came out of this

172
00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:19.559
<v Speaker 2>game that it was Andy Paez that Dave Roberts went

173
00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:23.159
<v Speaker 2>to instead of Key k Hernandez because Key k is

174
00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:28.240
<v Speaker 2>a Gold Glove caliber defensively in center field. And isn't

175
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:31.120
<v Speaker 2>that what we've been told all season long that the

176
00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:34.919
<v Speaker 2>reason why the Dodgers brought Key k Hernandez back was

177
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:40.320
<v Speaker 2>for October. And I believe tomorrow night, Key k Hernandez

178
00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:43.279
<v Speaker 2>should start in center field and Tommy Edmond should start

179
00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:44.240
<v Speaker 2>at shortstop.

180
00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:46.639
<v Speaker 3>I appreciate the phone call. Thank you.

181
00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:49.919
<v Speaker 2>Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is

182
00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:50.799
<v Speaker 2>the phone number.

183
00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:53.039
<v Speaker 3>As far as Walker Bueller goes.

184
00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:56.639
<v Speaker 2>Bueller got bled to death by some paper cuts, but

185
00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:00.639
<v Speaker 2>he can't be completely absolved by giving up six runs

186
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:03.960
<v Speaker 2>in that second inning. I'm sorry. I love the guy,

187
00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:07.559
<v Speaker 2>but he threw thirty three pitches. He couldn't put guys

188
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:10.840
<v Speaker 2>away with two strikes, and that extended that bats and

189
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:14.559
<v Speaker 2>eventually really did him in eight six six nine eight

190
00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:18.480
<v Speaker 2>seven two five seventy. Let's go out to Carlos sin Chino.

191
00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:22.840
<v Speaker 2>You're on Dodger Talk Live from San Diego, Hi, Carlos.

192
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:26.159
<v Speaker 9>Hey, Dave, thanks for taking my call first and foremost

193
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:29.120
<v Speaker 9>before anything. I just want to appreciate you for taking

194
00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:33.039
<v Speaker 9>everybody's calls all season long and obviously going into the postseason,

195
00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:37.679
<v Speaker 9>I know a Dodger fans can get a little crazy.

196
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:37.840
<v Speaker 10>Won't you know?

197
00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:39.000
<v Speaker 9>Do the good and bad?

198
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:41.279
<v Speaker 7>Oh, I just want to lead off with that.

199
00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:45.879
<v Speaker 2>But that's all good, Carlos. You're making it sound like

200
00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:48.519
<v Speaker 2>this is the last show. It's not the last show.

201
00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:51.399
<v Speaker 2>Tomorrow night's not going to be the last show. The

202
00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:52.480
<v Speaker 2>show rolls on.

203
00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:58.639
<v Speaker 9>I just wanted to say, obviously, today wasn't the you know,

204
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:01.639
<v Speaker 9>the way we wanted it to go. Oh, A couple

205
00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:05.039
<v Speaker 9>of errors and you know, some crazy stuff obviously happened,

206
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:06.360
<v Speaker 9>and you know it did this in with those six

207
00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:10.200
<v Speaker 9>runs in that second inning. I know, I mean, I

208
00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:14.519
<v Speaker 9>know Walker gave up those six runs. Obviously. I think

209
00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:16.360
<v Speaker 9>we could have gone out of that jam a lot earlier,

210
00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:18.759
<v Speaker 9>if you know, it wasn't for that freaking with Machado

211
00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:22.759
<v Speaker 9>and the misplay for Miggy. But I do want to

212
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:24.799
<v Speaker 9>say I want to agree with you with that comment

213
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:28.080
<v Speaker 9>that you said earlier about putting Edmond at short and

214
00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:32.360
<v Speaker 9>uh keik and center. I was just curious. I don't

215
00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:36.360
<v Speaker 9>know what the word is on Freeman, but I mean

216
00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:38.159
<v Speaker 9>you could kind of see he sort of played a

217
00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:40.080
<v Speaker 9>little bothered. I know, he's, you know, trying to tough

218
00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:43.200
<v Speaker 9>it out for us, and I mean we hit tonight.

219
00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:45.639
<v Speaker 2>I think he hit the ball hard tonight, and I

220
00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:48.840
<v Speaker 2>don't think, uh, you know, he's figuring it out. I

221
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:53.080
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't say the ankle did him in on any play tonight.

222
00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:56.559
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers took him out late in the game when

223
00:11:56.639 --> 00:11:59.639
<v Speaker 2>he had a single. Chris Taylor came in to pinch

224
00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:04.159
<v Speaker 2>run and that was another crusher for the Dodgers tonight,

225
00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:07.600
<v Speaker 2>only having one base runner in the last six innings,

226
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:09.279
<v Speaker 2>Freddy single in the eighth inning.

227
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:12.279
<v Speaker 3>That was it. So Freddy's not the issue.

228
00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:16.879
<v Speaker 2>And you know, let's you know, Miguel Rojas is limited

229
00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:22.360
<v Speaker 2>defensively and offensively. He really hasn't made a difference. So uh,

230
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:27.519
<v Speaker 2>that's why I believe the Dodgers October player keithky Hernandez

231
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:29.440
<v Speaker 2>needs to be in there tomorrow.

232
00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:32.080
<v Speaker 3>Thanks for the phone call, Carlos, appreciate it.

233
00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:36.679
<v Speaker 2>Eight six six seven two five seventy Dodgers a fall

234
00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:40.159
<v Speaker 2>in Game three of the NLDS six to five to

235
00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:43.120
<v Speaker 2>the Padres. I want to head back downstairs right now

236
00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:46.679
<v Speaker 2>to hear from Freddie Freeman on Sports at LA.

237
00:12:47.720 --> 00:12:49.120
<v Speaker 10>What a fuck about the season?

238
00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:51.919
<v Speaker 11>As a marathon, and the fact that you need to

239
00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:52.960
<v Speaker 11>play one mute time.

240
00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:55.840
<v Speaker 6>But when you're facing elimination in the end of an

241
00:12:55.960 --> 00:12:59.559
<v Speaker 6>entire season, does a mindset where the approach change at all.

242
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:02.440
<v Speaker 12>Thinks it's the same pressure cud from the first game.

243
00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:05.399
<v Speaker 12>Every game is trying to you know, it's treated as

244
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:07.279
<v Speaker 12>the end of the season because you're just never known

245
00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:10.840
<v Speaker 12>in the playoffs, so you know, just that one beginning

246
00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:14.159
<v Speaker 12>in the second and I'm happy for walkers and give

247
00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:15.879
<v Speaker 12>us some link there and the ole point it was awesome,

248
00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:19.080
<v Speaker 12>and just think anything more after the grand slam your throat.

249
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:23.879
<v Speaker 12>It's a big call for interference. I've looked at it

250
00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:26.320
<v Speaker 12>many many times, replayed it in my head many times,

251
00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:30.080
<v Speaker 12>or taught his base runners. I would have done the

252
00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:32.360
<v Speaker 12>same thing as a base runner to banana in it.

253
00:13:32.519 --> 00:13:34.399
<v Speaker 12>But usually you're supposed to do it after one or

254
00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:37.159
<v Speaker 12>two steps in the dirt and go. But I would

255
00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:38.799
<v Speaker 12>have done the same thing as a base runner. And

256
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:41.559
<v Speaker 12>you know, it's I'm really far in the grass and

257
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:47.080
<v Speaker 12>he got really far in the grass. I can certainly

258
00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:50.440
<v Speaker 12>say I wouldn't do anything different. At first, I thought

259
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:52.360
<v Speaker 12>I made a perfect throw and just clicked his left

260
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:56.000
<v Speaker 12>shoulder and banana it enough into the into the line.

261
00:13:56.720 --> 00:13:58.519
<v Speaker 12>Just that's what we're taught his base runners to get

262
00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:00.159
<v Speaker 12>into the line, and you know he did it there.

263
00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:02.120
<v Speaker 3>Freddie, what's it going to take you to get this

264
00:14:02.159 --> 00:14:02.799
<v Speaker 3>here respectable?

265
00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:03.000
<v Speaker 7>Sad?

266
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:04.159
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, we're gonna.

267
00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:08.639
<v Speaker 12>Score more runs than them. I just you know, I

268
00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:11.360
<v Speaker 12>like that we fought, we came back after that six

269
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:13.960
<v Speaker 12>run inning. I know, doctor fans don't want to hear

270
00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:16.440
<v Speaker 12>about fighting and stuff. But take the positive and.

271
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:17.159
<v Speaker 4>Come out here tomorrow.

272
00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:19.639
<v Speaker 12>And you know, Mookie got some hits today and things

273
00:14:19.679 --> 00:14:21.559
<v Speaker 12>are looking good, so we can get back on it tomorrow.

274
00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:25.159
<v Speaker 13>Just compared as the last couple of years.

275
00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:25.919
<v Speaker 8>You guys have face.

276
00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:28.159
<v Speaker 12>I'm not even thinking about the last couple of years.

277
00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:30.039
<v Speaker 12>If you're thinking about the last couple of years, now,

278
00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:32.679
<v Speaker 12>that's the wrong attitude. We got to worry about tomorrow.

279
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:38.399
<v Speaker 12>I'm yeah, Mike just asked, I mean, get your tweaked it.

280
00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:40.960
<v Speaker 12>I didn't tweak anything, and I just feels the same,

281
00:14:42.600 --> 00:14:43.480
<v Speaker 12>just doing the best I can.

282
00:14:44.360 --> 00:14:44.759
<v Speaker 3>All right.

283
00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:48.000
<v Speaker 2>There's Freddy Freeman on sports and at LA, and I

284
00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:51.600
<v Speaker 2>love hearing his perspective because he was the one throwing

285
00:14:51.639 --> 00:14:55.679
<v Speaker 2>the baseball to Miguel Roahas in the second inning, when

286
00:14:55.720 --> 00:15:00.720
<v Speaker 2>Machado obviously created his own base path to second base.

287
00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:04.240
<v Speaker 2>But as he described it, and he described it perfectly,

288
00:15:04.279 --> 00:15:08.879
<v Speaker 2>the banana type of a baseline that Machado created for himself.

289
00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:13.759
<v Speaker 2>Usually you create your baseline within one to two steps.

290
00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:17.639
<v Speaker 2>It seemed like Machado already had taken at least two

291
00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:22.799
<v Speaker 2>steps before he started to, uh, you know, banana out

292
00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:27.080
<v Speaker 2>as Freddy said, onto the grass. So very fifty to

293
00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:31.639
<v Speaker 2>fifty type call as far as interference goes, and unfortunately

294
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:35.120
<v Speaker 2>it went against the Dodgers. Eight six, six, nine eighty

295
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:39.519
<v Speaker 2>seven two five seventy is the phone number. Another part

296
00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:43.559
<v Speaker 2>of all this is the Dodger offense. Like I mentioned earlier,

297
00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:46.759
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers had only one base runner in the last

298
00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:50.440
<v Speaker 2>six innings, that was Freddy Freeman's single in the top

299
00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:53.440
<v Speaker 2>of the eighth inning. When you look at Max Muncy,

300
00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:57.919
<v Speaker 2>will Smith, Gavin Lux, Tommy Edmund tonight, they were combined

301
00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:02.679
<v Speaker 2>zero for fifteen with five drikeouts. That's not conducive to

302
00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:06.799
<v Speaker 2>passing the baton, moving the line and flipping the lineup

303
00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:10.240
<v Speaker 2>over to Dodgers had a lot of swings and misses

304
00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:14.000
<v Speaker 2>and nobody had more of them than Max Munsey. Munsey

305
00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:18.360
<v Speaker 2>took nine swings tonight, seven of them were misses. Also,

306
00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:21.799
<v Speaker 2>coming into this series, I was asked who was the

307
00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:24.799
<v Speaker 2>X factor, and I said it was Will Smith because

308
00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:26.759
<v Speaker 2>he was going to come up in a lot of

309
00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:31.440
<v Speaker 2>situations with runners on base that you know, the pitchers,

310
00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:34.519
<v Speaker 2>the padres were going to pitch around other guys in

311
00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:37.600
<v Speaker 2>this lineup and maybe be a little bit too fine,

312
00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:42.159
<v Speaker 2>which was going to create opportunities for Will Smith. Well,

313
00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:46.320
<v Speaker 2>Will Smith tonight was OH for four in this series.

314
00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:51.200
<v Speaker 2>Will Smith is a combined OH for eight. That's tough

315
00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:54.200
<v Speaker 2>to win as well. Remember Will Smith is supposed to

316
00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:58.759
<v Speaker 2>be this offensive juggernaut from behind the plate. He just

317
00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:02.679
<v Speaker 2>hasn't been that guy so far in this series. He

318
00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:04.960
<v Speaker 2>was OH for two in Game one with a couple

319
00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:07.480
<v Speaker 2>of walks. He was OH for two with a couple

320
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:10.880
<v Speaker 2>of walks in Game two, and tonight he WASZH for four.

321
00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:14.359
<v Speaker 2>He does not have a hit in the NLDS yet,

322
00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:17.559
<v Speaker 2>who does is Mookie Betts. He was getting a lot

323
00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:20.839
<v Speaker 2>of criticism coming into the game tonight, being OH for

324
00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:24.079
<v Speaker 2>his last twenty two in the postseason, three for his

325
00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:27.720
<v Speaker 2>last forty four in the playoffs. Tonight, he hit a

326
00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:30.160
<v Speaker 2>home run in the first inning to give the Dodgers

327
00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:33.720
<v Speaker 2>the lead. Profar got a glove on it, going over

328
00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:37.640
<v Speaker 2>the short wall down there the forty two sign here

329
00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:40.519
<v Speaker 2>at Pego Park, but it was too far out of

330
00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:44.319
<v Speaker 2>his reach, and you just saw the confidence in Mookie Betts.

331
00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:45.960
<v Speaker 3>He already was defeated.

332
00:17:46.039 --> 00:17:48.559
<v Speaker 2>Even though he hit a home run, he was headed

333
00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:51.319
<v Speaker 2>back to the Dodger dugout. It was a home run

334
00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:54.039
<v Speaker 2>kind of tells you where Mooki's head was at. But

335
00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:57.960
<v Speaker 2>Muki had two hits tonight, included being on base when

336
00:17:58.000 --> 00:18:01.359
<v Speaker 2>ta Oscar Hernandez hit his grand slamming the third inning.

337
00:18:01.640 --> 00:18:04.839
<v Speaker 2>Let's go downstairs right now to here from Mookie Bets

338
00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:06.000
<v Speaker 2>on sports net LA.

339
00:18:09.039 --> 00:18:09.799
<v Speaker 12>I mean, it was cool.

340
00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:13.920
<v Speaker 14>You know, obviously losing sucks and so it really kind

341
00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:19.480
<v Speaker 14>of doesn't matter. But I mean, you know, I think, no,

342
00:18:19.640 --> 00:18:23.759
<v Speaker 14>it was okay. Personally it was okay, but definitely it

343
00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:24.279
<v Speaker 14>doesn't matter.

344
00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:26.839
<v Speaker 5>Just considering how you guys did fight back in this one, though,

345
00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:29.359
<v Speaker 5>does it give you all something to build off of

346
00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:30.559
<v Speaker 5>heading into tomorrow.

347
00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:35.000
<v Speaker 14>I mean, I think the winner lost today. Tomorrow's a

348
00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:38.480
<v Speaker 14>new day, and so we know it's going to be

349
00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:40.200
<v Speaker 14>a fight. Every game is going to be a fight.

350
00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:43.519
<v Speaker 14>So we just got to turn the page. What's going

351
00:18:43.599 --> 00:18:44.400
<v Speaker 14>to fuel this team?

352
00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:47.400
<v Speaker 6>You've been through the frustrations the past, believes what it's

353
00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:48.160
<v Speaker 6>going to feel.

354
00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:49.319
<v Speaker 9>You to keep the season going to line?

355
00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:53.799
<v Speaker 15>I mean, I mean, I don't know.

356
00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:55.559
<v Speaker 14>I mean, you just got to keep playing. I mean

357
00:18:55.559 --> 00:18:58.160
<v Speaker 14>the World Series. That that's what fuels. I don't think

358
00:18:58.200 --> 00:19:00.880
<v Speaker 14>there's like a magic potion or something, you know. I

359
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:02.160
<v Speaker 14>think we're all trying to do the same thing, and

360
00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:05.279
<v Speaker 14>that's win a World Series, and each game is is

361
00:19:05.319 --> 00:19:06.759
<v Speaker 14>one stepping stone towards.

362
00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:08.799
<v Speaker 13>That, which is when you thought pro far came up

363
00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:11.400
<v Speaker 13>with that ball initially in the first Yeah, I mean

364
00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:12.920
<v Speaker 13>the the first game.

365
00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:15.079
<v Speaker 14>I know they kind of Rob didn't act like he

366
00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:16.799
<v Speaker 14>didn't catch it, and so I kind of thought it

367
00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:18.480
<v Speaker 14>was the same thing. But uh fortunately went.

368
00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:19.079
<v Speaker 9>Over did that?

369
00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:20.920
<v Speaker 13>I mean, obviously the result is what you want, but

370
00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:22.799
<v Speaker 13>did having that and then the single later kind of

371
00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:25.480
<v Speaker 13>take off some of the pressure you've been feeling just

372
00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:26.519
<v Speaker 13>with your own performance.

373
00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:33.279
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, I mean, whatever that we lost, So there's no

374
00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:35.359
<v Speaker 14>personal goals out there right now. We just wanna win

375
00:19:35.400 --> 00:19:38.119
<v Speaker 14>a World Series and however we get there, it is

376
00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:40.160
<v Speaker 14>how we get there, But the main thing is getting there.

377
00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:42.960
<v Speaker 13>How frustrating was it to be able to jump back

378
00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:44.559
<v Speaker 13>in the game as quickly as you guys did, but

379
00:19:44.599 --> 00:19:47.240
<v Speaker 13>did not be able to complete it, you know, offensively?

380
00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:50.640
<v Speaker 14>I mean it's not it's just tough. I mean, it's

381
00:19:50.680 --> 00:19:53.279
<v Speaker 14>not necessarily frustrating. You know, the game's part of the game.

382
00:19:53.400 --> 00:19:54.880
<v Speaker 14>You know, the game's gonna go. We're gonna haven bere

383
00:19:54.960 --> 00:20:00.440
<v Speaker 14>ups in your downs. Just uh, we didn't hit en

384
00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:03.400
<v Speaker 14>up to obviously score more runs, and so we got

385
00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:04.480
<v Speaker 14>to figure something out tomorrow.

386
00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:06.880
<v Speaker 9>What did you make of that?

387
00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:07.480
<v Speaker 14>Anywhere?

388
00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:10.079
<v Speaker 16>It seemed like balls are just kind of bouncing crazy man.

389
00:20:10.119 --> 00:20:12.240
<v Speaker 4>He got hit by a ball and.

390
00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:13.880
<v Speaker 17>A couple of ground balls to walk around a tough

391
00:20:13.920 --> 00:20:15.119
<v Speaker 17>time gating gett a.

392
00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:18.200
<v Speaker 14>Uh spaceball, spaceball. You never know where the ball is

393
00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:21.599
<v Speaker 14>gonna bounce, how it's gonna bounce. You know, he ran

394
00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:24.839
<v Speaker 14>the basis the right way. So, uh, that's part of

395
00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:25.640
<v Speaker 14>part of the game.

396
00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:26.920
<v Speaker 3>All right.

397
00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:30.200

417
00:21:46.599 --> 00:21:50.559

420
00:21:58.920 --> 00:22:02.880
<v Speaker 2>grand slam to pull within one run The Dodgers did

421
00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:05.960
<v Speaker 2>not have another base runner until the top of the

422
00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:08.839
<v Speaker 2>eighth inning, and they fall six to five to the

423
00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:13.920
<v Speaker 2>Padres tonight in Game three of the NLDS. Daniels Jewelers

<v Speaker 3>Daniel's Jewelers own the Dream. Look. The Dodgers are in.

429
00:22:31.319 --> 00:22:34.200
<v Speaker 2>A tough spot right They don't have a starting pitcher

430
00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:38.000
<v Speaker 2>for tomorrow. It's not ideal to have a bullpen game

431
00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:42.160
<v Speaker 2>in an elimination game. The Padres are going with Dylan

432
00:22:42.279 --> 00:22:46.160
<v Speaker 2>Cees on three days rest. But the Dodgers need to

433
00:22:46.200 --> 00:22:49.359
<v Speaker 2>have better at bats. And I love what Jose Mota

434
00:22:49.559 --> 00:22:53.039
<v Speaker 2>said when he brought up with Tim Hyer's text his

435
00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:56.960
<v Speaker 2>hitters last year during the World Series, where he told

436
00:22:57.000 --> 00:23:01.720
<v Speaker 2>his hitters, let's all have a two strike approach from

437
00:23:01.839 --> 00:23:05.319
<v Speaker 2>the first inning on. That's what the Dodgers need because

438
00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:09.519
<v Speaker 2>too many big swings, too many swings and misses, and

439
00:23:09.720 --> 00:23:12.640
<v Speaker 2>that's not going to work. I know hitting home runs

440
00:23:12.759 --> 00:23:16.839
<v Speaker 2>is a big part of the postseason, but they are

441
00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:20.839
<v Speaker 2>far and few between. Despite the Padres hitting six in

442
00:23:20.920 --> 00:23:25.400
<v Speaker 2>Game two. Uh, that is not a way to live

443
00:23:25.720 --> 00:23:28.400
<v Speaker 2>or die in the playoffs. You saw it in the

444
00:23:28.400 --> 00:23:32.160
<v Speaker 2>third inning for the Dodgers. They strung together three consecutive

445
00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:36.160
<v Speaker 2>base hits before Taoscar Hernandez hit a grand slam off

446
00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:38.920
<v Speaker 2>of Michael King, which, by the way, was an eighty

447
00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:42.960
<v Speaker 2>five flat sweeper. A lot of pressure, no margin for

448
00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:47.240
<v Speaker 2>air for King right there. So that's that's going to

449
00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:50.759
<v Speaker 2>be an interesting way to live for the Dodgers moving forward.

450
00:23:51.119 --> 00:23:54.680
<v Speaker 2>They've got to find a way to have shorter swings

451
00:23:54.720 --> 00:23:58.119
<v Speaker 2>and to be able to string together some hits. By

452
00:23:58.160 --> 00:24:00.519
<v Speaker 2>the way, with the loss tonight, the Dodgers now have

453
00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:05.359
<v Speaker 2>seven straight postseason losses on the road during the playoffs.

454
00:24:05.640 --> 00:24:08.440
<v Speaker 2>Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is

455
00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:09.240
<v Speaker 2>the phone number.

456
00:24:09.519 --> 00:24:10.720
<v Speaker 3>I was a little distracted.

457
00:24:10.759 --> 00:24:13.039
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't sure if somebody from the press box was

458
00:24:13.079 --> 00:24:16.480
<v Speaker 2>screaming at me to not be doing my radio show.

459
00:24:16.680 --> 00:24:18.839
<v Speaker 2>Not sure what they were doing. All right, let's go

460
00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:21.200
<v Speaker 2>out to the phones, Ken in Newport. We're here until

461
00:24:21.240 --> 00:24:22.440
<v Speaker 2>ten thirty, like it or not.

462
00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:25.640
<v Speaker 3>How you doing, Ken, hy David?

463
00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:28.680
<v Speaker 20>You answered a lot of the things that were bothering me,

464
00:24:28.880 --> 00:24:32.119
<v Speaker 20>but these are two things that bothered me the most. Yeah,

465
00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:35.160
<v Speaker 20>they were bad in fielding and when they scored all

466
00:24:35.240 --> 00:24:36.240
<v Speaker 20>those six runts.

467
00:24:36.480 --> 00:24:39.119
<v Speaker 7>They actually interviewed Dave after that ended.

468
00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:41.960
<v Speaker 20>And asked him why he didn't take Bueller out, and

469
00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:46.200
<v Speaker 20>his responses, well, we're saving our relievers for tomorrow. Really,

470
00:24:46.680 --> 00:24:48.880
<v Speaker 20>that's something if you just gave up on the game, Dave.

471
00:24:49.359 --> 00:24:52.599
<v Speaker 20>The other thing that really bothers me one for twenty

472
00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:57.359
<v Speaker 20>one after the Hernandez home run one for twenty one,

473
00:24:57.559 --> 00:25:00.119
<v Speaker 20>four guys are hitting under two.

474
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:01.400
<v Speaker 7>One hundred and.

475
00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:03.880
<v Speaker 9>This is not good.

476
00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:08.839
<v Speaker 20>I mean, this is total choking and you cannot expect

477
00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:11.880
<v Speaker 20>to win. And it's been eight of the last nine

478
00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:15.640
<v Speaker 20>years under Freeman and Roberts that they haven't won the

479
00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:19.480
<v Speaker 20>World Series. I don't know what to say other than

480
00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:21.880
<v Speaker 20>this was a massive disappointment for me.

481
00:25:23.359 --> 00:25:26.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I believe, well, you know, the Dodgers need

482
00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:28.799
<v Speaker 2>to make some changes in their starting lineup tomorrow. They

483
00:25:28.880 --> 00:25:32.119
<v Speaker 2>just can't continue with these same guys that are swinging

484
00:25:32.160 --> 00:25:36.200
<v Speaker 2>and missing. And like I said, Key k Hernandez was

485
00:25:36.279 --> 00:25:40.119
<v Speaker 2>signed back to play for the Dodgers for playoff time

486
00:25:40.519 --> 00:25:42.880
<v Speaker 2>and we haven't seen them all but two at bats

487
00:25:42.920 --> 00:25:46.519
<v Speaker 2>when he came in because of Freeman's injury in Game two.

488
00:25:46.640 --> 00:25:50.319
<v Speaker 2>So I'm a firm believer it's not too late to

489
00:25:50.359 --> 00:25:53.319
<v Speaker 2>have Key k Hernandez have an impact on this series.

490
00:25:54.599 --> 00:25:57.000
<v Speaker 7>I agree with you, all right.

491
00:25:56.960 --> 00:25:59.079
<v Speaker 3>Ken, Thanks for the phone call. Yeah, that's what I meant.

492
00:25:59.119 --> 00:26:02.759
<v Speaker 2>One base runner since uh, the sixth inning on or

493
00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:06.720
<v Speaker 2>and that's not something that is going to work. The

494
00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:10.759
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers felt like it felt like the Padres were allowing

495
00:26:10.880 --> 00:26:13.480
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers to hang around a little bit too long,

496
00:26:13.559 --> 00:26:17.200
<v Speaker 2>but unfortunately they only had one base runner the last

497
00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:21.279
<v Speaker 2>six innings of this game. Let's go out to La Luis.

498
00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:24.000
<v Speaker 2>You're on Dodger Talk Live from San Diego.

499
00:26:24.039 --> 00:26:27.960
<v Speaker 7>Hi Luis, Hi, David, thank you for taking my call.

500
00:26:28.480 --> 00:26:32.000
<v Speaker 7>I just want to mention three things for the Dodgers

501
00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:32.799
<v Speaker 7>to win tomorrow.

502
00:26:32.920 --> 00:26:36.279
<v Speaker 2>They're gonna have to have a consistent defense, consistent offense,

503
00:26:36.680 --> 00:26:38.079
<v Speaker 2>and with consistent pitching.

504
00:26:38.279 --> 00:26:41.799
<v Speaker 7>That's the only way you're going to win tomorrow. Other

505
00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:45.480
<v Speaker 7>than that, the bats, to me, they're going to have

506
00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:48.160
<v Speaker 7>to explode tomorrow if they want to. They want to

507
00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:50.720
<v Speaker 7>win this game, for it, for it to send it

508
00:26:50.759 --> 00:26:52.799
<v Speaker 7>to a game Fipper right now, it has to be

509
00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:55.839
<v Speaker 7>a pitch by pitch type of thing where you have

510
00:26:55.920 --> 00:26:58.279
<v Speaker 7>to secure this win to get to get a win

511
00:26:58.599 --> 00:27:03.799
<v Speaker 7>and avoid the theys. That's what I don't want, all.

512
00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:06.599
<v Speaker 3>Right, all right, Louis, thank you for all the cliches.

513
00:27:06.640 --> 00:27:07.559
<v Speaker 3>We appreciated.

514
00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:10.680
<v Speaker 2>Eight six, six, nine, eighty seven two five seventy is

515
00:27:10.680 --> 00:27:13.759
<v Speaker 2>the phone number. By the way, the Dodgers' last road

516
00:27:13.799 --> 00:27:17.000
<v Speaker 2>win in the playoffs was Game five of the twenty

517
00:27:17.079 --> 00:27:21.079
<v Speaker 2>one NLDS against the San Francisco Giants. Remember that one,

518
00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:24.519
<v Speaker 2>Max Scherzer coming out of the bullpen to save the

519
00:27:24.599 --> 00:27:28.680
<v Speaker 2>game and then tapping out in the NLCS. That was

520
00:27:28.759 --> 00:27:32.559
<v Speaker 2>the last time the Dodgers won a road playoff game.

521
00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:35.759
<v Speaker 2>And look, if they can get this to a Game

522
00:27:35.920 --> 00:27:39.079
<v Speaker 2>five and at Dodgers Stadium, they would be in a

523
00:27:39.119 --> 00:27:43.000
<v Speaker 2>great position. But a bullpen game on the road, Uh,

524
00:27:43.160 --> 00:27:46.119
<v Speaker 2>that's a tall order to ask from your team. And

525
00:27:46.200 --> 00:27:48.599
<v Speaker 2>they just got to find a way to score runs.

526
00:27:48.599 --> 00:27:50.960
<v Speaker 2>We talked about this at the beginning of the series.

527
00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:54.400
<v Speaker 2>We all knew the Dodgers were very thin with their pitching.

528
00:27:54.799 --> 00:27:57.200
<v Speaker 2>They needed to score at least five or six runs

529
00:27:57.200 --> 00:28:00.720
<v Speaker 2>to win a game. Tonight, they scored five, butker Bueller

530
00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:03.680
<v Speaker 2>gave up six in the second inning and some poor

531
00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:07.839
<v Speaker 2>defensive place behind him as well. Wand was at Peco

532
00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:08.480
<v Speaker 2>Park tonight?

533
00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:09.000
<v Speaker 3>Hi wan?

534
00:28:09.079 --> 00:28:12.640
<v Speaker 2>What was the experience like for you at Peco Park tonight?

535
00:28:14.160 --> 00:28:16.839
<v Speaker 21>Look, I'm not gonna liehard Dodger fan. Grew up a

536
00:28:16.880 --> 00:28:20.759
<v Speaker 21>Dodger fan. But what that crowd brings to the Podgers game,

537
00:28:21.240 --> 00:28:22.039
<v Speaker 21>It's crazy.

538
00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:23.119
<v Speaker 18>I've been to many.

539
00:28:25.319 --> 00:28:26.640
<v Speaker 7>I mean, I get it.

540
00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:30.680
<v Speaker 21>There was for it was one Dodger fan for every

541
00:28:31.680 --> 00:28:34.240
<v Speaker 21>five thousand fans. I guess you wanted three thousand fans

542
00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:36.000
<v Speaker 21>of theirs. I mean, we weren't that many Dodger fans,

543
00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:36.400
<v Speaker 21>and I get it.

544
00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:36.759
<v Speaker 7>They blow.

545
00:28:36.839 --> 00:28:39.759
<v Speaker 2>Well the reason why is because they blocked Dodger fans out.

546
00:28:39.880 --> 00:28:42.599
<v Speaker 2>You had to have a San Diego area code or

547
00:28:42.599 --> 00:28:44.799
<v Speaker 2>a ZIP code to be able to purchase tickets, so

548
00:28:44.839 --> 00:28:45.960
<v Speaker 2>they got what they wanted.

549
00:28:46.599 --> 00:28:47.240
<v Speaker 7>I got lucky.

550
00:28:47.279 --> 00:28:49.000
<v Speaker 21>One of my salesmen gave me a pair of take

551
00:28:49.079 --> 00:28:50.799
<v Speaker 21>it easy, and I'm like, hell, yeah, I'm not going

552
00:28:50.880 --> 00:28:52.680
<v Speaker 21>to take a problem. I'm on my way over there.

553
00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:53.480
<v Speaker 3>Let's go. Yeah.

554
00:28:53.559 --> 00:28:55.480
<v Speaker 21>But what I wanted to Yeah, but one thing I

555
00:28:55.480 --> 00:28:59.119
<v Speaker 21>wanted to bring up, you know one and you probably

556
00:28:59.160 --> 00:29:02.359
<v Speaker 21>talked about it. We kid, we brought Keken back mcke's

557
00:29:02.480 --> 00:29:05.440
<v Speaker 21>because he's a he's a playoff guy. Why isn't I

558
00:29:05.599 --> 00:29:08.720
<v Speaker 21>like Maximunsey's defense, but my god to play start him

559
00:29:08.759 --> 00:29:12.000
<v Speaker 21>at third, start him at their Maximunkey or a center.

560
00:29:13.000 --> 00:29:16.279
<v Speaker 2>You could maybe it's time to have keyk and center

561
00:29:16.319 --> 00:29:19.440
<v Speaker 2>and Chris Taylor at third or some combination of that.

562
00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:23.119
<v Speaker 2>You know, they they started both those guys in an

563
00:29:23.119 --> 00:29:27.400
<v Speaker 2>elimination game last year and Taylor almost helped the Dodgers

564
00:29:28.160 --> 00:29:30.799
<v Speaker 2>stave off elimination, but he hit it to the deepest

565
00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:34.160
<v Speaker 2>part of the ballpark. Look, I'm not saying starting Key

566
00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:37.440
<v Speaker 2>a Hernandez is going to guarantee you a win, but

567
00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:41.000
<v Speaker 2>it bears the question to be asked, why hasn't he

568
00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:45.480
<v Speaker 2>gotten more of an opportunity, especially with a limited Miguel Rojas.

569
00:29:45.880 --> 00:29:49.000
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for the phone call, one appreciated. Eight six six

570
00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:52.759
<v Speaker 2>seven two five seventy is the phone number. Let's go

571
00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:56.079
<v Speaker 2>out to Mirietta. Bryce, You're on Dodger Talk Live from

572
00:29:56.119 --> 00:29:58.559
<v Speaker 2>Pego Park. Hi, Bryce, Hey.

573
00:29:58.440 --> 00:30:00.799
<v Speaker 10>David, I just want to say there's gonna be a

574
00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:04.079
<v Speaker 10>lot of negativity with a lot of Dodger fans, but

575
00:30:04.759 --> 00:30:07.839
<v Speaker 10>in retrospect. We just have to steal one game tomorrow

576
00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:10.720
<v Speaker 10>and bring it back to La. The Padres have already

577
00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:14.279
<v Speaker 10>tipped their hand and they're bringing season on three days rest.

578
00:30:14.599 --> 00:30:16.720
<v Speaker 10>We already saw him in our last series in the

579
00:30:16.720 --> 00:30:19.400
<v Speaker 10>regular season and beat him, and then we ended up

580
00:30:19.400 --> 00:30:22.200
<v Speaker 10>winning in Game one when he pitched as well. We've

581
00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:25.039
<v Speaker 10>lived and we've died by the bullpens. All right, it's

582
00:30:25.079 --> 00:30:27.079
<v Speaker 10>gonna come down to it. It's just how it is

583
00:30:27.079 --> 00:30:30.319
<v Speaker 10>with all of our injuries, and at the end of

584
00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:32.799
<v Speaker 10>the day, we have sho hailed Tani and Mookie Betts.

585
00:30:33.119 --> 00:30:35.440
<v Speaker 10>Freddy Freeman has already proved he's gonna give it his

586
00:30:35.519 --> 00:30:38.119
<v Speaker 10>all at the end of the day, these guys are

587
00:30:38.119 --> 00:30:40.240
<v Speaker 10>not gonna quit. So I just want to bring some

588
00:30:40.319 --> 00:30:43.400
<v Speaker 10>positivity to all Dodger fans.

589
00:30:43.680 --> 00:30:47.240
<v Speaker 2>All right, Brice, appreciate it. Eight six six seven two

590
00:30:47.319 --> 00:30:50.400
<v Speaker 2>five seventy is the phone number. Like I said, I

591
00:30:50.440 --> 00:30:53.799
<v Speaker 2>feel like we have seen more fight from the Dodgers

592
00:30:54.000 --> 00:30:56.680
<v Speaker 2>in this series and in this game than we saw

593
00:30:56.799 --> 00:30:59.519
<v Speaker 2>in each of the last two years. So that is

594
00:31:00.319 --> 00:31:03.440
<v Speaker 2>something to be optimistic about that the Dodgers, even if

595
00:31:03.440 --> 00:31:05.920
<v Speaker 2>they go down in the game tomorrow night, they're not

596
00:31:06.039 --> 00:31:08.519
<v Speaker 2>just going to lay down. We saw that tonight they

597
00:31:08.680 --> 00:31:11.799
<v Speaker 2>very easily could have packed it in after going down

598
00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:15.200
<v Speaker 2>six to one. But not only ta Oscar hitting the

599
00:31:15.200 --> 00:31:17.519
<v Speaker 2>Grand Slam, but how about the guys ahead of him

600
00:31:17.839 --> 00:31:20.680
<v Speaker 2>that continue to fight and set the table for him.

601
00:31:20.720 --> 00:31:25.000
<v Speaker 2>They strung together three consecutive hits. So I think all

602
00:31:25.039 --> 00:31:28.279
<v Speaker 2>of that is very encouraging, But the facts are they

603
00:31:28.319 --> 00:31:31.880
<v Speaker 2>lost the game tonight, and you can string together all

604
00:31:31.880 --> 00:31:34.279
<v Speaker 2>the hits you want, but if you lose tomorrow, you're

605
00:31:34.279 --> 00:31:38.079
<v Speaker 2>going home. Bottom line is, forget about all this other stuff.

606
00:31:38.279 --> 00:31:40.519
<v Speaker 2>They've got to find a way to win, and it's

607
00:31:40.559 --> 00:31:43.559
<v Speaker 2>going to be a challenge going with a bullpen game.

608
00:31:43.599 --> 00:31:47.400
<v Speaker 2>You're asking multiple pitchers to be able to be on

609
00:31:47.519 --> 00:31:51.480
<v Speaker 2>their game to hold down the opposition that sometimes doesn't

610
00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:54.079
<v Speaker 2>always go to plan, and that's where they are. We

611
00:31:54.200 --> 00:31:58.599
<v Speaker 2>knew going into this series the Dodgers had Landon Knack

612
00:31:58.759 --> 00:32:02.440
<v Speaker 2>as their fourth starter, and what we saw in the

613
00:32:02.519 --> 00:32:06.720
<v Speaker 2>last regular season series in Denver told us the Dodgers

614
00:32:06.759 --> 00:32:10.640
<v Speaker 2>were at the very least considering using an opener before

615
00:32:10.680 --> 00:32:13.160
<v Speaker 2>they went to Landon Nac. That's what we're going to

616
00:32:13.200 --> 00:32:15.960
<v Speaker 2>see tomorrow and we'll see how far it goes or

617
00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:19.759
<v Speaker 2>when Neck gets into into the game. Eight six, six, nine, eight,

618
00:32:19.880 --> 00:32:23.400
<v Speaker 2>seven two five seventy is the phone number Dodgers fall

619
00:32:23.480 --> 00:32:26.759
<v Speaker 2>to the Padres. In Game three of the NLDS six

620
00:32:26.799 --> 00:32:30.960
<v Speaker 2>to five, San Diego scored six runs in a disastrous

621
00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:34.039
<v Speaker 2>second inning for Walker Bueller and the Dodgers.

622
00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:35.920
<v Speaker 3>Fernando Tattis Junior.

623
00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:39.079
<v Speaker 2>If you had to hand out an MVP trophy so

624
00:32:39.240 --> 00:32:41.680
<v Speaker 2>far in this series, it would have to go to

625
00:32:41.759 --> 00:32:45.680
<v Speaker 2>Fernando Tattis Junior, who hit his fourth home run in

626
00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:49.240
<v Speaker 2>this series. Let's head downstairs right now to hear from

627
00:32:49.319 --> 00:32:52.880
<v Speaker 2>Tatis and former Dodger David Peralta, who had a two

628
00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:55.920
<v Speaker 2>run double in that six run second inning.

629
00:32:56.480 --> 00:32:59.640
<v Speaker 16>Definitely no fear, but that's something that you build through

630
00:32:59.640 --> 00:33:03.200
<v Speaker 16>the year, you know, getting experienced playing against those guys,

631
00:33:03.240 --> 00:33:06.160
<v Speaker 16>and uh yeah, definitely no fear. I mean, we're showing

632
00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:09.480
<v Speaker 16>out to play the best basketball we can, especially knowing

633
00:33:09.519 --> 00:33:12.599
<v Speaker 16>the type of group that we're facing. So man, we

634
00:33:12.759 --> 00:33:14.759
<v Speaker 16>just were just showing up and playing ball.

635
00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:17.359
<v Speaker 4>Mark second row on the left.

636
00:33:18.000 --> 00:33:20.160
<v Speaker 11>How you've obviously had a lot of big home runs here,

637
00:33:20.200 --> 00:33:22.759
<v Speaker 11>but how did that one tonight rate as far as

638
00:33:22.759 --> 00:33:25.319
<v Speaker 11>the crowd noise and what did you say to your dugout,

639
00:33:25.319 --> 00:33:27.160
<v Speaker 11>because you were obviously saying something to the dugout on

640
00:33:27.200 --> 00:33:28.000
<v Speaker 11>the way to first base.

641
00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:31.279
<v Speaker 16>Definitely the noise that has to be up there, Uh,

642
00:33:31.920 --> 00:33:36.039
<v Speaker 16>I guess so. And man, then when I headed, I

643
00:33:36.039 --> 00:33:39.039
<v Speaker 16>didn't know. I just I just blacked out, started screaming

644
00:33:39.079 --> 00:33:42.039
<v Speaker 16>at my dugout. Just the energy through the roof, especially

645
00:33:42.119 --> 00:33:45.359
<v Speaker 16>that type of inning that we build after two outs,

646
00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:48.839
<v Speaker 16>but I had getting the big double people on base.

647
00:33:48.920 --> 00:33:53.440
<v Speaker 16>I mean, it was just momentum and Man's definitely definitely

648
00:33:53.480 --> 00:33:55.000
<v Speaker 16>a beautiful finish at the end of that inning.

649
00:33:55.920 --> 00:33:57.240
<v Speaker 4>But the third round the.

650
00:33:57.240 --> 00:34:00.400
<v Speaker 11>Left Fernando, this is your first time playing like a

651
00:34:00.480 --> 00:34:04.440
<v Speaker 11>legitimate MLB postseason, because in twenty twenty there were fans

652
00:34:04.480 --> 00:34:05.079
<v Speaker 11>for most of it.

653
00:34:05.759 --> 00:34:08.880
<v Speaker 3>What has this experience been like? Is it?

654
00:34:09.199 --> 00:34:10.559
<v Speaker 14>I'm sure you thought about it a lot of your

655
00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:11.239
<v Speaker 14>mind going into this.

656
00:34:11.320 --> 00:34:12.639
<v Speaker 9>So what has it been like so far?

657
00:34:13.360 --> 00:34:19.400
<v Speaker 16>It's just beautiful, Definitely rewarding to through everything that I've

658
00:34:19.400 --> 00:34:21.559
<v Speaker 16>been to, through what we have been through as a group,

659
00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:26.000
<v Speaker 16>you know, building building together to get over here is

660
00:34:26.119 --> 00:34:29.760
<v Speaker 16>just really really hard work from from the front office,

661
00:34:29.800 --> 00:34:32.960
<v Speaker 16>from the players, you know, getting involved, putting their heart

662
00:34:32.960 --> 00:34:35.920
<v Speaker 16>into it. And man, when you when you play baseball

663
00:34:35.920 --> 00:34:38.320
<v Speaker 16>like this in a postseason is you know, you get

664
00:34:38.360 --> 00:34:41.920
<v Speaker 16>all those memory backs and you just feel grateful where

665
00:34:41.960 --> 00:34:45.239
<v Speaker 16>you at and just embracing every single moment and definitely

666
00:34:45.320 --> 00:34:46.199
<v Speaker 16>not taking for granted.

667
00:34:46.880 --> 00:34:50.760
<v Speaker 2>All Right, There's Fernando Tattoos Junior and David Peralta after

668
00:34:50.840 --> 00:34:54.239
<v Speaker 2>the Padres defeat the Dodgers in Game three of the

669
00:34:54.360 --> 00:34:56.000
<v Speaker 2>NLDS six to five.

670
00:34:56.360 --> 00:34:57.320
<v Speaker 3>The final score.

671
00:34:57.480 --> 00:35:01.039
<v Speaker 2>Game four coming up tomorrow night at Pecko Park, Same

672
00:35:01.159 --> 00:35:05.199
<v Speaker 2>bad time, same bad channel, Morono Casino. Dodgers on Deck

673
00:35:05.239 --> 00:35:08.159
<v Speaker 2>begins at five o'clock with first pitch just a little

674
00:35:08.239 --> 00:35:09.599
<v Speaker 2>after six oh five.

675
00:35:09.960 --> 00:35:11.480
<v Speaker 3>Let's go back out to the phones.

676
00:35:11.559 --> 00:35:15.840
<v Speaker 2>Manuel in Guardina, you're on Dodger Talk live from Petco Park.

677
00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:18.119
<v Speaker 7>Hi, Many, Hey DV.

678
00:35:18.639 --> 00:35:22.960
<v Speaker 18>Excellent job. Man, I'm gonna kind of echo with last

679
00:35:22.960 --> 00:35:24.800
<v Speaker 18>guy said, Man, you know what, I'm gonna keep it

680
00:35:24.840 --> 00:35:29.960
<v Speaker 18>positive right now going into tomorrow. It's Mount Everest to climb, right,

681
00:35:30.599 --> 00:35:33.559
<v Speaker 18>But we've seen it done before, you know, Uh, the

682
00:35:33.679 --> 00:35:38.800
<v Speaker 18>Dodgers have climbed some insurmountable hills and come out on top.

683
00:35:39.599 --> 00:35:40.840
<v Speaker 7>And that's what we got to hope for.

684
00:35:41.039 --> 00:35:45.119
<v Speaker 18>Man, Just gotta hope that we don't get no BS

685
00:35:45.159 --> 00:35:49.119
<v Speaker 18>calls or anything like that, because you know, it affects

686
00:35:49.199 --> 00:35:53.039
<v Speaker 18>the mentality. It seems like of the team, as any

687
00:35:53.079 --> 00:35:57.880
<v Speaker 18>team that gets you know, jobbed gets affected. But that's

688
00:35:57.960 --> 00:36:01.000
<v Speaker 18>not an excuse. Man, they beat us, you gotta tip

689
00:36:01.039 --> 00:36:04.400
<v Speaker 18>your hat to them. I hate tatis, but you know what,

690
00:36:04.519 --> 00:36:09.480
<v Speaker 18>man easy right now, the quotoe Pedro Martinez, he's our daddy,

691
00:36:09.960 --> 00:36:13.079
<v Speaker 18>and Manny much fraud ho too.

692
00:36:13.119 --> 00:36:13.440
<v Speaker 9>Also.

693
00:36:13.559 --> 00:36:16.039
<v Speaker 18>Man, hey, man, they're they're they're putting.

694
00:36:15.719 --> 00:36:16.159
<v Speaker 19>It on us.

695
00:36:16.159 --> 00:36:19.920
<v Speaker 18>So we just got to hope that this heart comes

696
00:36:19.920 --> 00:36:22.519
<v Speaker 18>through because I'm seeing the heart too, Dave. And we

697
00:36:22.679 --> 00:36:24.440
<v Speaker 18>just need more from the bottom of the lineup. Man,

698
00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:27.360
<v Speaker 18>that's the bottom line. We need more from the bottom

699
00:36:27.400 --> 00:36:30.599
<v Speaker 18>of the lineup. But I'm gonna believe man keeping.

700
00:36:30.480 --> 00:36:33.480
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers up. That was the success for the Dodgers

701
00:36:33.480 --> 00:36:36.880
<v Speaker 2>in Game one. They're uh seven eight nine hitters got

702
00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:40.239
<v Speaker 2>on base for Otani, and that's what the Padres don't

703
00:36:40.239 --> 00:36:43.400
<v Speaker 2>want to see base runners when Otani comes to the plate,

704
00:36:43.519 --> 00:36:46.559
<v Speaker 2>and the last two games they have not been able

705
00:36:46.639 --> 00:36:50.320
<v Speaker 2>to create some traffic when Otani comes up, and that

706
00:36:50.440 --> 00:36:53.599
<v Speaker 2>makes life a lot easier for the opposing pitchers. Thanks

707
00:36:53.599 --> 00:36:56.679
<v Speaker 2>for the phone call, Manuel and Guardina eight six six nine,

708
00:36:56.719 --> 00:37:00.079
<v Speaker 2>eight seven two five seventy Otani by the way, one

709
00:37:00.119 --> 00:37:02.960
<v Speaker 2>for for tonight, Mookie bets two for four with a

710
00:37:03.000 --> 00:37:05.960
<v Speaker 2>first inning home run that he wasn't sure of. Neither

711
00:37:06.079 --> 00:37:10.679
<v Speaker 2>was anybody else in the ballpark, as Jerkson Profar almost

712
00:37:10.760 --> 00:37:13.960
<v Speaker 2>rob Mooky again of a home run in the first inning.

713
00:37:14.360 --> 00:37:15.559
<v Speaker 3>This time it was.

714
00:37:16.320 --> 00:37:20.119
<v Speaker 2>Beyond the outreach glove of tatists down the line in

715
00:37:20.280 --> 00:37:23.199
<v Speaker 2>left field, and just speaking of it, it reminded me

716
00:37:23.280 --> 00:37:26.000
<v Speaker 2>that I wanted to bring this point up. Our guy,

717
00:37:26.239 --> 00:37:31.079
<v Speaker 2>Joe Davis is getting a lot of, you know, unwarranted

718
00:37:31.159 --> 00:37:36.840
<v Speaker 2>criticism from folks that are outside of LA in particular

719
00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:41.440
<v Speaker 2>former padre Eric Hosmer, who has a platform, he has

720
00:37:41.440 --> 00:37:45.239
<v Speaker 2>a really good podcast, but he's just like everybody else

721
00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:46.199
<v Speaker 2>in America.

722
00:37:46.400 --> 00:37:48.519
<v Speaker 3>Joe Buck used to run into this as well.

723
00:37:49.639 --> 00:37:54.360
<v Speaker 2>If if the game isn't going your team's way, you

724
00:37:54.440 --> 00:37:57.559
<v Speaker 2>want to blame Joe Buck or in this case, Joe Davis.

725
00:37:58.239 --> 00:38:00.000
<v Speaker 3>Dodger fans love Joe Davis.

726
00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:03.119
<v Speaker 2>Some may think that, oh, he's doing a little bit

727
00:38:03.159 --> 00:38:06.280
<v Speaker 2>too much for the Padres. On the padres side of things,

728
00:38:06.320 --> 00:38:09.480
<v Speaker 2>they think that he's shading towards the Dodgers I can

729
00:38:09.519 --> 00:38:13.320
<v Speaker 2>tell you Joe Davis is a pros pro. He's calling

730
00:38:13.360 --> 00:38:16.559
<v Speaker 2>the game right down the middle. We all know he's

731
00:38:16.599 --> 00:38:20.599
<v Speaker 2>a Dodger broadcaster, but when he's on a national broadcast

732
00:38:21.280 --> 00:38:25.559
<v Speaker 2>with John Smoltz as the a voice of Major League Baseball,

733
00:38:26.039 --> 00:38:28.679
<v Speaker 2>he is not trying to shade it the Dodgers way.

734
00:38:29.000 --> 00:38:31.639
<v Speaker 2>If you go back to listen to the home run

735
00:38:31.679 --> 00:38:35.159
<v Speaker 2>call of Fernando Tattis Junior, he called it the way

736
00:38:35.199 --> 00:38:38.760
<v Speaker 2>he would a Mookie Bets home run in June for

737
00:38:38.840 --> 00:38:42.320
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers. So I really thought it was a cheap

738
00:38:42.360 --> 00:38:45.880
<v Speaker 2>shot from a former player in Eric Costmer to go

739
00:38:45.920 --> 00:38:49.440
<v Speaker 2>after Joe Davis. You expect that from somebody in El cahoone,

740
00:38:49.719 --> 00:38:52.199
<v Speaker 2>but you don't expect that from a former major league

741
00:38:52.239 --> 00:38:55.239
<v Speaker 2>player Eric Costmer. So I just wanted to point that

742
00:38:55.360 --> 00:38:58.199
<v Speaker 2>out that I feel like Joe Davis is getting a

743
00:38:58.280 --> 00:39:03.400
<v Speaker 2>lot of unwarranted shade from the Padres faithful out there.

744
00:39:04.280 --> 00:39:06.400
<v Speaker 2>If things are not going your way, you're going to

745
00:39:06.440 --> 00:39:09.239
<v Speaker 2>blame him. You're going to start to believe that he's

746
00:39:09.320 --> 00:39:11.880
<v Speaker 2>calling the game from the Dodgers side, which he's not.

747
00:39:12.559 --> 00:39:15.239
<v Speaker 2>Eight six six, nine eighty seven two five seventy is

748
00:39:15.280 --> 00:39:16.039
<v Speaker 2>the phone number.

749
00:39:16.320 --> 00:39:16.960
<v Speaker 3>I wouldn't know.

750
00:39:17.079 --> 00:39:20.440
<v Speaker 2>I honestly haven't heard the game, but i know who

751
00:39:20.519 --> 00:39:24.480
<v Speaker 2>Joe Davis is. And I'm listening to Rick Monday and

752
00:39:24.519 --> 00:39:27.719
<v Speaker 2>Stephen Nelson. Let's go out to Montabello. Rudy, you're on

753
00:39:27.800 --> 00:39:28.360
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Talk.

754
00:39:28.440 --> 00:39:31.519
<v Speaker 4>Hi Rudy, Hi Dave, Thank thank you for taking him

755
00:39:31.519 --> 00:39:31.840
<v Speaker 4>a call.

756
00:39:32.639 --> 00:39:34.039
<v Speaker 7>I just had three things to say.

757
00:39:34.159 --> 00:39:38.679
<v Speaker 22>We can't blaming Bueler Builder Builder, he had a bad ending,

758
00:39:38.760 --> 00:39:42.440
<v Speaker 22>yeares he did, But when the deafis did nothing? Throw

759
00:39:42.679 --> 00:39:45.400
<v Speaker 22>Freddy did to second base wasn't a good one.

760
00:39:45.559 --> 00:39:48.599
<v Speaker 7>What about Miguel Robas? What about Duley?

761
00:39:48.760 --> 00:39:51.519
<v Speaker 3>I pointed that out, Rudy, I pointed that out.

762
00:39:51.559 --> 00:39:54.400
<v Speaker 2>But the fact is he had two strikes on a

763
00:39:54.400 --> 00:39:57.880
<v Speaker 2>lot of those hitters, Rudy, and he can't put them away.

764
00:39:58.840 --> 00:40:01.000
<v Speaker 3>Bad players. I'm going to have been behind you. You've

765
00:40:01.000 --> 00:40:03.320
<v Speaker 3>got to find a way not to give up six runs.

766
00:40:04.360 --> 00:40:09.039
<v Speaker 15>And another thing, Max Monsey, Max Munsey and Will Smith

767
00:40:09.079 --> 00:40:12.599
<v Speaker 15>they keep swinging at the first pitch. Why you said

768
00:40:12.639 --> 00:40:16.239
<v Speaker 15>it earlier? How come they just don't have patience? But

769
00:40:16.360 --> 00:40:18.719
<v Speaker 15>they want to hit for defenses? Why do they want

770
00:40:18.719 --> 00:40:20.039
<v Speaker 15>to hit for the defences all the time?

771
00:40:21.159 --> 00:40:24.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, Max Munsey is a three true outcome player, Rudy,

772
00:40:24.480 --> 00:40:28.800
<v Speaker 2>you know what that is, right, yes, sir, home run,

773
00:40:29.000 --> 00:40:32.760
<v Speaker 2>strikeout or walk. That's Max Munsey and right now he's

774
00:40:32.760 --> 00:40:35.599
<v Speaker 2>striking out a lot more than he's walking or hitting

775
00:40:35.679 --> 00:40:36.199
<v Speaker 2>home runs.

776
00:40:36.239 --> 00:40:37.480
<v Speaker 3>So that's why it looks ugly.

777
00:40:37.559 --> 00:40:40.719
<v Speaker 2>But Will Smith, I don't know when we're going to

778
00:40:40.760 --> 00:40:43.920
<v Speaker 2>find out the truth, but Will Smith has not looked

779
00:40:43.960 --> 00:40:47.360
<v Speaker 2>like himself since the beginning of June. I'm not sure

780
00:40:47.519 --> 00:40:49.760
<v Speaker 2>what is going on or when we're going to find

781
00:40:49.800 --> 00:40:52.679
<v Speaker 2>out the real story. But there's got to be something

782
00:40:52.719 --> 00:40:56.159
<v Speaker 2>physical going on with Will Smith because he can't catch

783
00:40:56.239 --> 00:40:59.079
<v Speaker 2>up the fastballs and that's two years running now.

784
00:40:59.480 --> 00:41:01.880
<v Speaker 3>He to me, he was the X factor of this series.

785
00:41:01.920 --> 00:41:05.159
<v Speaker 2>They needed to get Will Smith to drive in runs

786
00:41:05.280 --> 00:41:08.840
<v Speaker 2>and he's zero for eight with UH with four walks

787
00:41:08.880 --> 00:41:12.440
<v Speaker 2>and two strikeouts. They need Will Smith and they haven't

788
00:41:12.440 --> 00:41:14.280
<v Speaker 2>gotten him yet so far this series.

789
00:41:14.840 --> 00:41:16.840
<v Speaker 3>Thanks for the phone call, Rudy appreciated.

790
00:41:16.960 --> 00:41:19.960
<v Speaker 2>Eight six y six nine eighty seven two five seventy

791
00:41:20.039 --> 00:41:23.320
<v Speaker 2>is the phone number. Padres beat the Dodgers tonight six

792
00:41:23.360 --> 00:41:27.039
<v Speaker 2>to five, And like I said, you know, Walker Buehler,

793
00:41:27.400 --> 00:41:29.599
<v Speaker 2>he was a victim of the paper cuts, no doubt

794
00:41:29.639 --> 00:41:30.039
<v Speaker 2>about it.

795
00:41:30.119 --> 00:41:33.800
<v Speaker 3>But he can't be absolved of that six run second inning.

796
00:41:34.159 --> 00:41:37.639
<v Speaker 2>Let's go out to Tyler, who is at Petco Park tonight. Hi, Tyler,

797
00:41:37.679 --> 00:41:38.639
<v Speaker 2>you're on Dodger Talk.

798
00:41:39.719 --> 00:41:42.079
<v Speaker 1>Hey, Hey, Dave, I feel like you're putting way too

799
00:41:42.159 --> 00:41:43.800
<v Speaker 1>much pressure on Walker.

800
00:41:43.880 --> 00:41:46.800
<v Speaker 7>He's had a great pressure inning there.

801
00:41:46.880 --> 00:41:50.760
<v Speaker 1>And listen, he was he was a victim of Manny Mafrado.

802
00:41:51.079 --> 00:41:54.599
<v Speaker 1>If that guy doesn't pull his punt BS and go

803
00:41:54.679 --> 00:41:57.960
<v Speaker 1>inside the line, we're out of that inning, maybe with

804
00:41:58.119 --> 00:41:58.719
<v Speaker 1>one run.

805
00:41:59.239 --> 00:42:00.679
<v Speaker 20>So I mean Manny.

806
00:42:02.360 --> 00:42:05.360
<v Speaker 2>Tossing it to Gavin Lux that was another one. Look,

807
00:42:05.880 --> 00:42:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Freddie Freeman said it perfectly. He would have done the

808
00:42:09.039 --> 00:42:12.599
<v Speaker 2>same thing. Machado made a smart baseball play and he

809
00:42:12.679 --> 00:42:13.480
<v Speaker 2>got away with it.

810
00:42:14.400 --> 00:42:16.239
<v Speaker 1>Well, we we we got to change the rules then,

811
00:42:16.280 --> 00:42:19.280
<v Speaker 1>because that's that's BS and and and you know what.

812
00:42:19.360 --> 00:42:20.719
<v Speaker 7>I I don't.

813
00:42:20.559 --> 00:42:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Think Vanny Mafrado gets enough flack around the league for

814
00:42:23.800 --> 00:42:25.320
<v Speaker 1>all the antics that he pulls.

815
00:42:25.400 --> 00:42:26.079
<v Speaker 3>That's for sure.

816
00:42:26.119 --> 00:42:28.280
<v Speaker 1>He needs to be the hoe they can say, go look,

817
00:42:28.320 --> 00:42:31.320
<v Speaker 1>they look down upon it's just a punk of the league.

818
00:42:31.679 --> 00:42:34.480
<v Speaker 2>All right, Tyler, thanks for the phone call. Hey, that's

819
00:42:34.599 --> 00:42:38.119
<v Speaker 2>the that's the emotions that many Machado sparks he is

820
00:42:38.159 --> 00:42:42.199
<v Speaker 2>the ultimate heel in Major League Baseball. Let's go out

821
00:42:42.199 --> 00:42:44.559
<v Speaker 2>to Corona. Eric, You're on Dodger Talk.

822
00:42:44.639 --> 00:42:48.960
<v Speaker 19>Hi, Eric any thanks for taking the call. But you

823
00:42:49.000 --> 00:42:51.679
<v Speaker 19>know that previous color I put more blame on Rojas.

824
00:42:51.760 --> 00:42:53.840
<v Speaker 7>I mean, that's just a week take from that guy.

825
00:42:54.199 --> 00:42:57.320
<v Speaker 19>But what I was trying to call about is, Uh,

826
00:42:57.679 --> 00:43:00.800
<v Speaker 19>these Dogger teams, year by your we get the same

827
00:43:00.880 --> 00:43:01.840
<v Speaker 19>playoff energy.

828
00:43:02.599 --> 00:43:03.440
<v Speaker 9>I hate to say.

829
00:43:03.440 --> 00:43:05.360
<v Speaker 19>So this game did not fall on Roberts at all.

830
00:43:05.440 --> 00:43:07.800
<v Speaker 19>It are the players, But I hate to say, but

831
00:43:08.280 --> 00:43:12.199
<v Speaker 19>it's tension Roberts. These teams roll in with tension every

832
00:43:12.280 --> 00:43:15.239
<v Speaker 19>year and the same energy. Players change in and out,

833
00:43:15.440 --> 00:43:18.840
<v Speaker 19>different year, different players. We get the same attitude from

834
00:43:18.840 --> 00:43:21.559
<v Speaker 19>these players. I add to the biggest elephant in the room.

835
00:43:21.719 --> 00:43:24.599
<v Speaker 19>I mean, you hear the guys talk postgame, in pregame

836
00:43:25.320 --> 00:43:28.159
<v Speaker 19>for these playoff games. He's not the same Roberts as

837
00:43:28.199 --> 00:43:31.519
<v Speaker 19>we get during the regular season. Honestly, I think that

838
00:43:31.920 --> 00:43:34.360
<v Speaker 19>is the biggest issue with the organization.

839
00:43:34.800 --> 00:43:37.400
<v Speaker 2>By the same Dave Roberts as we get during the

840
00:43:37.440 --> 00:43:38.320
<v Speaker 2>regular season.

841
00:43:38.599 --> 00:43:40.480
<v Speaker 3>You feel like he's a little tight. Is that what

842
00:43:40.519 --> 00:43:41.559
<v Speaker 3>you're saying, Eric.

843
00:43:42.039 --> 00:43:44.239
<v Speaker 19>He's a whole, He's a whole different character. He's a

844
00:43:44.239 --> 00:43:47.639
<v Speaker 19>whole different person. He's chill, lax Roberts come playoffs. I

845
00:43:47.679 --> 00:43:50.360
<v Speaker 19>think they're just feeding off the energy he gives them.

846
00:43:51.159 --> 00:43:52.800
<v Speaker 7>That's just my personal take on it.

847
00:43:52.920 --> 00:43:56.960
<v Speaker 2>I feel like Roberts has been pretty relax this playoffs. Eric,

848
00:43:57.199 --> 00:44:00.199
<v Speaker 2>I don't feel like that's the correct read on Dave

849
00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:01.920
<v Speaker 2>Roberts this postseason.

850
00:44:02.679 --> 00:44:03.559
<v Speaker 3>I know what you're saying.

851
00:44:03.559 --> 00:44:07.519
<v Speaker 2>Maybe in years past he's felt that, but not this postseason.

852
00:44:08.159 --> 00:44:10.800
<v Speaker 2>It feels like he's a little bit more relaxed and

853
00:44:11.360 --> 00:44:14.840
<v Speaker 2>understands these are the players and pitchers he's he has,

854
00:44:14.880 --> 00:44:17.800
<v Speaker 2>and you know tomorrow he doesn't have a starting pitcher,

855
00:44:18.079 --> 00:44:20.880
<v Speaker 2>so they're going with a bullpen game. They actually have

856
00:44:20.960 --> 00:44:25.039
<v Speaker 2>a starting pitcher in Landon Knack. We'll see how this

857
00:44:25.119 --> 00:44:27.960
<v Speaker 2>all works out, but it's not ideal to use a

858
00:44:28.000 --> 00:44:29.719
<v Speaker 2>bullpen game on the road.

859
00:44:30.079 --> 00:44:30.280
<v Speaker 3>Now.

860
00:44:30.280 --> 00:44:32.800
<v Speaker 2>The last time the Dodgers did win a playoff game,

861
00:44:32.960 --> 00:44:36.599
<v Speaker 2>Eric on the road was back in Game five of

862
00:44:36.639 --> 00:44:40.199
<v Speaker 2>the twenty one NLDS and if you remember, they got

863
00:44:40.239 --> 00:44:44.079
<v Speaker 2>away with an opener and then Julio Orias and they.

864
00:44:44.000 --> 00:44:44.840
<v Speaker 3>Won that game.

865
00:44:45.000 --> 00:44:49.280
<v Speaker 2>So maybe maybe it is a bullpen game that helps

866
00:44:49.320 --> 00:44:51.320
<v Speaker 2>them win again, because that's the way they went the

867
00:44:51.400 --> 00:44:55.159
<v Speaker 2>last time opener Julio Orias and then Max Scherzer.

868
00:44:55.280 --> 00:44:56.559
<v Speaker 3>So we'll see how it works out.

869
00:44:56.599 --> 00:44:59.679
<v Speaker 2>But honestly, I don't feel like Dave Roberts has done

870
00:44:59.760 --> 00:45:03.199
<v Speaker 2>any thing to cost the Dodgers in this series. I

871
00:45:03.360 --> 00:45:06.559
<v Speaker 2>just would love to see him penciling Key k Hernandez

872
00:45:06.599 --> 00:45:08.079
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow night in center field.

873
00:45:09.360 --> 00:45:12.239
<v Speaker 19>Well, well tension, Roberts would have won a freelancing guy

874
00:45:12.440 --> 00:45:13.719
<v Speaker 19>like keyk out there.

875
00:45:14.840 --> 00:45:15.960
<v Speaker 9>So back to that point.

876
00:45:16.000 --> 00:45:17.920
<v Speaker 3>All right, Eric, thank you for the phone call. I

877
00:45:17.960 --> 00:45:18.679
<v Speaker 3>appreciate it.

878
00:45:19.000 --> 00:45:21.920
<v Speaker 2>Eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy is

879
00:45:21.960 --> 00:45:25.400
<v Speaker 2>the phone number. Let's go out to El Paso, Texas. Omar,

880
00:45:25.880 --> 00:45:31.599
<v Speaker 2>You're on Dodger Talk with David basse Hi. Omar, Omar,

881
00:45:32.320 --> 00:45:36.320
<v Speaker 2>you waited all this time. You're there, He goes, Look,

882
00:45:37.159 --> 00:45:38.920
<v Speaker 2>the one thing I could say is, I know it's

883
00:45:38.960 --> 00:45:41.760
<v Speaker 2>easy to blame Dave Roberts when things don't go the

884
00:45:41.800 --> 00:45:45.079
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers way in the playoffs, But what could you point

885
00:45:45.079 --> 00:45:48.360
<v Speaker 2>out tonight or in the any of the three games

886
00:45:48.360 --> 00:45:51.880
<v Speaker 2>of the NLDS that Dave Roberts has done to directly

887
00:45:52.000 --> 00:45:55.320
<v Speaker 2>cost the Dodgers the game? He just has it same

888
00:45:55.320 --> 00:45:58.320
<v Speaker 2>thing last year. You can argue whether or not he

889
00:45:58.400 --> 00:46:03.119
<v Speaker 2>should have taken lance Lynn out or not. But you know, honestly,

890
00:46:03.239 --> 00:46:06.679
<v Speaker 2>Dave Roberts has done a pretty good job of managing

891
00:46:06.719 --> 00:46:10.920
<v Speaker 2>this series. There's nothing that he has done or hasn't

892
00:46:10.960 --> 00:46:15.519
<v Speaker 2>done that has cost the Dodgers. He had to, you know,

893
00:46:15.760 --> 00:46:19.159
<v Speaker 2>manage a game tonight where he knows he has to

894
00:46:19.239 --> 00:46:24.159
<v Speaker 2>use relievers tomorrow, and Walker Bueller was able to get

895
00:46:24.199 --> 00:46:27.719
<v Speaker 2>out of that second inning and pitch through five, which

896
00:46:27.760 --> 00:46:30.440
<v Speaker 2>really helped out what the Dodgers plan is for tomorrow.

897
00:46:30.679 --> 00:46:33.119
<v Speaker 3>But I also do understand the flip side.

898
00:46:33.320 --> 00:46:37.119
<v Speaker 2>You have to win today before you even think about tomorrow.

899
00:46:37.719 --> 00:46:41.440
<v Speaker 2>And we did not see anybody warming up behind Walker Buehler,

900
00:46:41.840 --> 00:46:44.320
<v Speaker 2>which told us Dave was going to hang him out

901
00:46:44.360 --> 00:46:46.559
<v Speaker 2>there to find a way to get out of it.

902
00:46:46.559 --> 00:46:50.280
<v Speaker 2>It's not like he was pitching horribly, but he just

903
00:46:50.400 --> 00:46:53.000
<v Speaker 2>couldn't put hitters away. And it is tough in the

904
00:46:53.039 --> 00:46:56.599
<v Speaker 2>playoffs to allow a pitcher to stay in a game

905
00:46:56.639 --> 00:46:59.320
<v Speaker 2>when you're giving up not just two or three runs,

906
00:46:59.679 --> 00:47:02.840
<v Speaker 2>but six runs and one inning. That is rough in

907
00:47:02.880 --> 00:47:07.199
<v Speaker 2>a playoff game to watch that. And obviously he gave

908
00:47:07.239 --> 00:47:11.199
<v Speaker 2>his explanation because he wants to go to the bullpen game.

909
00:47:11.239 --> 00:47:15.320
<v Speaker 2>I should say that's the team's decision. You know, Dave

910
00:47:15.400 --> 00:47:18.639
<v Speaker 2>Roberts doesn't make those decisions on his own or in

911
00:47:18.679 --> 00:47:22.280
<v Speaker 2>a vacuum. It's Brendan Gomes, it's Andrew Friedman, it's their

912
00:47:22.360 --> 00:47:26.039
<v Speaker 2>staff that is collaborating with Dave Roberts and saying, you

913
00:47:26.039 --> 00:47:27.880
<v Speaker 2>know what, this is the way we're going to go,

914
00:47:28.360 --> 00:47:29.039
<v Speaker 2>and we're.

915
00:47:28.840 --> 00:47:30.280
<v Speaker 3>Going to manage it this way.

916
00:47:30.360 --> 00:47:33.000
<v Speaker 2>And that's the cards that they have been dealt, or

917
00:47:33.079 --> 00:47:36.800
<v Speaker 2>Dave Roberts has been dealt, going into an elimination game,

918
00:47:36.840 --> 00:47:40.440
<v Speaker 2>a bullpen game tomorrow night here at Peco Park, while

919
00:47:40.440 --> 00:47:43.719
<v Speaker 2>the Padres are going with Dylan Cees on three days

920
00:47:43.840 --> 00:47:47.639
<v Speaker 2>rest Morongo Casino. Dodgers on Deck begins at five o'clock

921
00:47:48.079 --> 00:47:52.000
<v Speaker 2>first pitch from Peco Park with Rick Monday and Steven Nelson.

922
00:47:52.280 --> 00:47:55.920
<v Speaker 2>A little bit after six h five, then I'll do

923
00:47:55.960 --> 00:47:58.360
<v Speaker 2>it for us tonight on Dodger Talk. Thanks for all

924
00:47:58.400 --> 00:48:03.159
<v Speaker 2>the phone calls. Appreciate. Hopefully the Dodgers can extend the

925
00:48:03.280 --> 00:48:05.440
<v Speaker 2>season and force a game five.

926
00:48:05.559 --> 00:48:07.320
<v Speaker 3>If not, they are going home.

927
00:48:07.519 --> 00:48:11.519
<v Speaker 2>That's what's at stake tomorrow night here at Pego Park.

928
00:48:11.599 --> 00:48:14.920
<v Speaker 2>It will be electric as it was tonight here in

929
00:48:15.039 --> 00:48:18.880
<v Speaker 2>San Diego, thanks to Colin Ye back at our Burbank Studios.

930
00:48:18.920 --> 00:48:22.400
<v Speaker 2>Thanks to Dwayne McDonald out here at Petco Park. In

931
00:48:22.440 --> 00:48:24.760
<v Speaker 2>case you missed any of the show, you can find

932
00:48:24.800 --> 00:48:28.519
<v Speaker 2>it on the iHeartRadio app once again. The final score

933
00:48:28.719 --> 00:48:32.199
<v Speaker 2>in Game three of the NLBS, the Padres defeat the

934
00:48:32.239 --> 00:48:33.599
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers six to five.

935
00:48:34.000 --> 00:48:35.719
<v Speaker 3>Have a great rest of your night. We'll talk to

936
00:48:35.719 --> 00:48:36.760
<v Speaker 3>you tomorrow. See you

937
00:48:41.920 --> 00:48:42.280
<v Speaker 14>Away.
