I'm glad you brought up something.

Hey Otani, I'll 107 00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:31.199 give you a great example. On all off day for 108 00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:33.439 the workout of Dodger Stadium to the NLDS, we did 109 00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:35.759 the afternoon show out there with Petro some money, and 110 00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:39.279 we're doing the show on the field and walking around 111 00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:42.040 and you know, talking to players and you know, just 112 00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:45.879 doing the show from the field and show Yotani comes 113 00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:49.240 out of the dugout and it's like the world stopped. 114 00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:51.959 It's almost like they stop throwing VP and he comes 115 00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:54.000 out of the dugout to start stretching and throwing the 116 00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:55.319 outfield and. 117 00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:56.800 It's just clicklick click click, click click click. 118 00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:00.519 There's probably a dozen photographers and then another there's six 119 00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:05.600 cameras and then other you know, newspaper, online reporters writing 120 00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:08.040 and taking with videos with their cell phones. The amount 121 00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:12.040 of media coverage he gets from Japan alone will blow 122 00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:15.120 your mind. If you haven't seen it already, we hear 123 00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:17.639 about it, we talk about it. But once you see it, 124 00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:20.879 and then you throw on the American media and then 125 00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:22.680 when you get to a stage like the playoffs, it 126 00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:25.240 gets even bigger because you get the kind of fringe media, 127 00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:27.959 the news media, the morning shows, you know locally, they 128 00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:29.920 all of a sudden sent out a reporter. They're wearing 129 00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:32.240 these brand new Dodger jersey nacks like they're Dodger fans 130 00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:34.240 and they're not really not. You get all those people 131 00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:36.879 out there, it's amazing to see what he has to 132 00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:37.439 deal with. 133 00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:39.920 Steve. Yeah, and he just does it with the smile 134 00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:42.680 on his face. He does and you can't miss him. 135 00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:44.680 I mean he's big, dude, you know, he's six ' five. 136 00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:47.319 It's hard hard to miss show. Hey, but I was 137 00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:50.040 just thinking, can you imagine what it would be like 138 00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:55.439 if Tommy Lasorda were in his prime and him and 139 00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:57.519 and he had show he as one of his players. 140 00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:01.439 Can you imagine that combination? I mean, it would be 141 00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:06.319 it would be just a show those two by themselves. Yeah, 142 00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:09.199 those two together would be incredible. How do you think 143 00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:13.040 the Japanese media would would adapt to Tommy? Would they 144 00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:15.560 go to him for that SoundBite every day they say 145 00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:18.199 something funny? Yeah? They would embrace the heck out of him. 146 00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:21.360 Those those two together would be incredible and you know, 147 00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:23.560 Tommy knew how to work it. You know, Showy being 148 00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:25.759 as big as star as he is, Tommy could work 149 00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:27.879 that thing pretty good. But I mean it would be 150 00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:30.519 good for show heyo too, because Tommy had a great 151 00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:34.120 way of keeping people grounded, keeping it real, you know, 152 00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:37.040 caving that family atmosphere in the locker room and whatnot. 153 00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:39.879 But I'm sure he would just he would have loved him. 154 00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:42.279 You're telling me Tommy Lasorda liked to be around the cameras. 155 00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:43.720 He knewhen the cameras were. 156 00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:46.439 He kind of knew where they were at the time. 157 00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:49.399 And I remember one time in spring training he was 158 00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:52.600 he was giving us a a rendition, h kind of 159 00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:55.720 like an uh, you know, off the cuff rendition on 160 00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:59.439 how to steal bases. Tommy was telling us how to 161 00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:02.519 steal base and there was a special crew there. I 162 00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:04.959 don't know if it was who was who was, you know, 163 00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:07.839 leading the crew, but it was a big crew. And 164 00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:10.480 Tommy was telling us how to steal bases. And he said, 165 00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:12.759 and you cross over here, and you cross and at 166 00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:15.600 the same time that he's talking to all of us 167 00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:17.759 in front of us with trying to act like he 168 00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:21.000 was sincere about it. He's looking over to the side 169 00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:23.639 where all the cameras are, and he said, and now 170 00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:26.399 watch as I cross over my step and he's looking 171 00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:27.959 over to the side of the cameras. At the same time, 172 00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:31.040 We're like, you gotta be kidding me. This guy just 173 00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:33.279 works it. You know, he got knew where they were 174 00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:33.840 the whole time. 175 00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:36.600 He got it, he understood, and when the cameras are around, 176 00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:40.480 he absolutely knew it. Eighty six eighty seven, two five 177 00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:43.519 seventy The Dodgers a two to one series lead. I'm 178 00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:48.159 optimally optimistically caught. How would I I'm optimistic the Dodgers 179 00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:50.399 are gonna get it done in this series, Saxy. But 180 00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:55.080 again I'm cautious.

Yeah, on the 181 00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:56.039 Dodgers tonight. 182 00:08:56.480 --> 00:08:59.320 I remember times like this and I'm trying to put 183 00:08:59.320 --> 00:09:02.399 myself in and my spikes and what it was like 184 00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:05.559 and what my feelings were, you know, because I'm so 185 00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:08.480 in touch with my feelings, you know, and I was 186 00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:10.919 thinking about, you know, what it was, what it was like, 187 00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:14.000 what was my mentality was, what was I thinking? And 188 00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:16.440 I always tried to temper it, you know, Hey, look, 189 00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:18.600 you know we're up to one it's great. Put that 190 00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:21.159 in the bank. Now we got a big task ahead 191 00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:23.799 of a tonight with Kintana, and how am I going 192 00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:26.120 to approach him? Just like Moncey said, it just brings 193 00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:27.919 back a lot of memories. You know, you get some 194 00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:30.799 food in us. You must enjoy the moment because that's 195 00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:33.399 what it's all about. Go have a great time, enjoy it, 196 00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:36.519 and then get a good night's rest and start thinking 197 00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:38.840 about this next guy and really get into him. And 198 00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:42.600 I just love the whole approach of the Dodgers. They're professional, 199 00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:47.399 they're talented, they're enthusiastic, but man, they want it. I 200 00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:51.639 haven't seen a Dodger team won it this bad, I think, 201 00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:54.440 because so many times, you know, they've been close and 202 00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:56.240 they haven't done it. They got bounced last year in 203 00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:58.759 three games, and you know, they won it in twenty twenty. 204 00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:01.519 But some people think there's an asterisk there because oh, 205 00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:03.240 it was only you know, it wasn't a full season. 206 00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:05.519 I think that's a bunch of bs. It counts as 207 00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:08.080 much as it did any other time because all the 208 00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:11.000 rules were the same for everybody. But I think there 209 00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:14.399 would be something special about winning it. You know, this year, 210 00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:17.720 having Otani over et cetera. But I think I just 211 00:10:17.799 --> 00:10:22.399 since the team really really wants it bad, like you know, 212 00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:24.720 and that's sometimes hard to get what they you know, 213 00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:27.480 kind of a team that's got so much talent on 214 00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:30.200 it already, sure, you know, but they do. This team 215 00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:31.360 really wants it bad. 216 00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:34.240 Yeah, it's a fire in their belly across the board 217 00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:36.759 that is, You're right, we haven't seen in a few years, 218 00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:39.720 and you know, maybe coming up short as fuel that 219 00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:43.320 fire in their bellies. Some guys realizing maybe where they're 220 00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:47.000 also at in their careers, maybe they understand where a 221 00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:49.120 run could be coming to an end here in a 222 00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:51.399 Dodger uniform or in their baseball. 223 00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:51.919 Careers like Bueller. 224 00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:54.480 Yeah, absolutely so, soaking it up as much as they 225 00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:58.159 can and knowing this opportunity may not be there next year, 226 00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:00.759 may not be there ever again for them to win 227 00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:01.600 a World Series. 228 00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:02.960 So certainly making the most of all. 229 00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:04.320 We got a lot of Dodger fans that want to 230 00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:07.759 weigh in again this hour, giving away Steve Sacks autograph, 231 00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:10.559 Dodgers jersey. It is a thing of beauty and a 232 00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:13.759 Dodgers had Rick and Wittier. Welcome to Saxon Case and 233 00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:15.000 am On this Thursday morning. 234 00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:15.600 How you doing Rick? 235 00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:18.279 Hey, good morning guys. 236 00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:19.240 Morning is taking my call? 237 00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:19.919 Hi? Rick? 238 00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:20.799 Uh? 239 00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:23.639 Just want to just want to say a couple of things. 240 00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:27.080 Number one about Kee getting on this it's crazy. We're 241 00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:29.360 one hit away from Game two from being three to zero. 242 00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:31.320 Stay hockey, k stay hot. 243 00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:32.360 Uh. 244 00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:34.600 The other point I want to bring up is my 245 00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:36.200 buddy and that we have an in arranging group. For 246 00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:38.919 the last ten years, we talked about Dodgers right before October, 247 00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:41.639 and this year we decided to. We talked about it 248 00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:44.559 and we said about how our two strengths this year 249 00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:46.759 is are bullpen in our offense. At least that's what 250 00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:50.039 we thought. And now that we see that the starting 251 00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:52.679 pitching is starting to wake up, it's just only going 252 00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:54.360 to make this team even better and tough for me. 253 00:11:55.159 --> 00:12:00.279 And so it's interesting because the media had everybody making 254 00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:02.639 every other team except the Dodgers this season, and typically 255 00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:05.440 it's the other way around, and that wasn't the cases here. 256 00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:09.360 So it's really nice to see that things are working 257 00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:11.080 out in regards to the bullp in our offense. So 258 00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:13.360 I think our biggest strength and it's working out, and 259 00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:16.440 I hope that they continue on and Lastly, I just 260 00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:19.159 want to say is that I catch myself watching these 261 00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:25.159 Dodger games rooting for Dave Roberts, and obviously that's something 262 00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:27.840 that I think a lot of Dodger fans were against. 263 00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:30.799 And it's really nice to see that Roberts is putting 264 00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:34.080 everything together. It obviously helps to have a great bullpen. 265 00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:38.399 He's putting, he's he's coaching really really well right now. 266 00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:40.360 I'm super happy for him, and I really hope I 267 00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:42.240 know it's early, but I hope that he can get 268 00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:44.840 that chip that everybody's waiting for. So thanks for taking 269 00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:45.799 my calls, guys, I appreciate it. 270 00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:46.600 All right, there's a lot rick. 271 00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:49.200 He started off the call by saying something I think 272 00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:54.000 is worth repeating, and that is that this is a 273 00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:56.879 Dodger team that could very easily be up three to nothing. 274 00:12:57.480 --> 00:13:00.000 And I say that because they had opportunities in Game two, 275 00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:02.799 even though they fell behind six to nothing. On Monday 276 00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:06.799 at Dodger Stadium, that sixth inning was six to three game. Remember, 277 00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:10.240 bases loaded one out, Key Hernandez gets a base hit, 278 00:13:10.519 --> 00:13:13.080 it's a six ' five game. Maybe they tack on more. Heck, 279 00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:14.919 if he hits a home run, they take the lead 280 00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:16.720 and come back all the way from a six to 281 00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:19.440 nothing deficit and maybe win that game too. So yeah, 282 00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:21.960 they had their opportunities, and Kei k couldn't get that 283 00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:25.679 big hitting game two. He's right, they're a swing away Saxy. 284 00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:27.039 This thing being three to nothing. 285 00:13:27.159 --> 00:13:29.399 Yeah, that's true. That's true. And you know, I think 286 00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:32.000 Rick from Whittier made a great point too when he 287 00:13:32.039 --> 00:13:36.720 talked about the strength of the starters. You know, this 288 00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:41.240 was a great outing last night from Walker. Yamamoto had 289 00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:44.080 a great outing his last time out too, So you 290 00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:48.559 are getting some elements of, you know, pushback because the 291 00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:51.159 Dodgers starters have gone out there and did some shoven 292 00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:53.879 of their own, and that is a welcome thing because 293 00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:55.919 you know, kind of the narrative out there, Oh, every 294 00:13:55.960 --> 00:13:57.559 game is going to turn into a bullpen game and 295 00:13:57.559 --> 00:13:59.759 you're gonna do that hasn't been the case. You've got 296 00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:01.960 really good starts out of these guys. So that's that's 297 00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:02.600 a big plus. 298 00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:05.879 Oscar and Baldwin Park. Next up here on Saxon Kate today, 299 00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:06.720 am how are you doing? 300 00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:07.080 Oscar? 301 00:14:08.759 --> 00:14:09.000 Good? 302 00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:16.879 Good when gentlemen, mister Saxond morning, Kate, Hey, bro I 303 00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:18.399 talked to you after game too. Man, that was the 304 00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:20.000 most pissed off I think I've ever heard you on 305 00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:25.080 the radio man. After Game two. You you hey, yeah, hey, 306 00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:27.240 But I told you hey give It was one game 307 00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:29.519 that let them respond and look what happened. Man, I'm 308 00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:33.399 very happy for the guys k monthcy H, will Smith. 309 00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:34.600 They got going. 310 00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:36.679 Will Smith got that big hit in the with the 311 00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:38.879 third or some of the second, and I think later 312 00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:40.840 that you motivate the guys at the top of the order. 313 00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:43.440 That's what they can't through at the end. And I 314 00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:44.840 think it was the best game they played so far 315 00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:48.159 in the postseason. They're looking good, man, and let's let's 316 00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:51.200 put this chokeout tonight and stap their neck on Friday 317 00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:52.399 and put them out of the misery. 318 00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:54.039 Love it, Oscar, love it. 319 00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:56.039 Thanks for the phone call, man, Yeah, I think tonight 320 00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:58.399 is gonna be big for Yamamoto to go out there 321 00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:02.480 and immediately put up zeros of them. But you know again, 322 00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:04.840 I was fired up on Tuesday as Monday, as he mentioned, 323 00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:08.679 I did postgame on Monday after Game two, postgame Dodger talking. 324 00:15:08.919 --> 00:15:11.120 The more and more I kept taking calls and talking 325 00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:13.000 about it, the more and more I was getting mad. 326 00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:13.960 And you were getting fired. 327 00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:16.759 I just I felt like it was a game they 328 00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:20.240 they threw away. It was a wasted game for the 329 00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:23.440 Dodgers in the way that you know, the approach didn't 330 00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:24.559 work with the bullpen game. 331 00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:26.840 I know, that's that's Game two. We moved on. 332 00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:29.120 But it's just now that they won Game three last 333 00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:31.240 night in the fashion they did, the fact that they 334 00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:33.039 almost had a chance to come back and win Game 335 00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:35.559 two and were a big hit away from not doing 336 00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:38.120 it in the sixth inning and in the eighth inning, 337 00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:40.440 and it happened to be Key Hernandez both times. Yeah, 338 00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:42.960 and he came back last night to get the home run. 339 00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:45.000 I love that. I just love the fact that he 340 00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:49.000 came back that very next game and delivered. Yeah, and 341 00:15:49.399 --> 00:15:51.240 look at all the guys on the on the team, 342 00:15:51.279 --> 00:15:53.080 you think, oh, you can point that guy out, that guy, 343 00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:55.720 that guy's great talent. Some guys on the on the 344 00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:57.639 other teams would look around and say, who's going to 345 00:15:57.679 --> 00:15:59.919 be the big star on this team in postseason? 346 00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:00.360 Key k A. 347 00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:03.480 He's kind of like not an everyday player. I mean really, 348 00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:06.440 he's got something special and he's doing it big time. 349 00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:10.559 So loving that. But you know, look the Dodgers. They're 350 00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:13.919 expecting to win this next this game tonight, of course, 351 00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:16.679 and they're gonna expect to win the next two and 352 00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:19.600 take this thing back home. But remember this, I don't 353 00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:21.519 think it's going to be a fast series. I mean, 354 00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:24.120 I wouldn't be surprised if they win the next two, 355 00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:26.879 but I in the beginning thought that this would go 356 00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:29.679 six games, because you got to give that other team 357 00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:33.120 the respect. They're they're a good team, they're a formidable opponent. 358 00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:35.799 They've been through the trenches just getting here. I mean, 359 00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:38.679 look how many teams they've steamrolled through and they barely 360 00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:40.639 got in. So they're they're kind of going on that 361 00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:43.320 you know, we're not supposed to be here anyway type 362 00:16:43.320 --> 00:16:46.000 of thing.
