<v Speaker 7>We are live in Miami after the Dodgers defeat the

20
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:56.719
<v Speaker 7>Marlins by a final score of seven to four. David

21
00:00:56.799 --> 00:01:00.439
<v Speaker 7>Va say, with you until eight o'clock on Dodger Talk,

22
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:03.479
<v Speaker 7>taking your phone calls at eight six six nine eighty

23
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:07.159
<v Speaker 7>seven two five seventy. It's been a while since I've

24
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:10.040
<v Speaker 7>been back in the saddle doing my day job of

25
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:13.799
<v Speaker 7>postgame Dodger Talk. We had a rain delay Dodger Talk

26
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:16.959
<v Speaker 7>in Atlanta. But it's great to be back with you here.

27
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:20.560
<v Speaker 7>I love doing Dodger talk. It was awesome filling in

28
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:23.799
<v Speaker 7>on sports Net LA on the sidelines. I hate to

29
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:27.239
<v Speaker 7>break it to everybody, but the Dodgers were four and

30
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:30.319
<v Speaker 7>oh with me being that close to the Dodger dugout.

31
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:33.519
<v Speaker 7>But nonetheless, it was seven game winning streak that came

32
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:36.439
<v Speaker 7>to an end last night in Atlanta, and I felt

33
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:39.280
<v Speaker 7>like last night was a great indication of what I

34
00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:43.519
<v Speaker 7>say is often about this Dodger team and the games

35
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:48.079
<v Speaker 7>they play. I felt like the Braves survived the Dodgers

36
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:49.799
<v Speaker 7>more than beating the Dodgers.

37
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:52.480
<v Speaker 5>But you know, obviously they get the win.

38
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:55.480
<v Speaker 7>But the Dodgers won the series to start their longest

39
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:56.280
<v Speaker 7>road trip of.

40
00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:58.760
<v Speaker 5>The year ten games and ten days.

41
00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:01.680
<v Speaker 7>And the Dodgers have won the first three out of

42
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:05.799
<v Speaker 7>four tonight with a seven to four win over the Marlins.

43
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:09.800
<v Speaker 7>And how about Ben Casparius pitching four innings in relief

44
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:14.680
<v Speaker 7>bulk innings relief. Him and Yoshinubu Yama Moto now have

45
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:18.560
<v Speaker 7>the most wins on the Dodgers pitching staff. If I

46
00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:21.000
<v Speaker 7>would have told you that in spring training that on

47
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:26.599
<v Speaker 7>single de Mayo, Ben Casparius and Yamamoto would have the

48
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:30.039
<v Speaker 7>most wins on the Dodger pitching staff. You might have

49
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:32.879
<v Speaker 7>looked at me a little crazy, but that's where they're at.

50
00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:36.599
<v Speaker 7>Casparius four and zero, Kirby Yates with his first save

51
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:40.759
<v Speaker 7>of the year, a big night for Otani, for Freddie Freeman,

52
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:44.360
<v Speaker 7>and more importantly for Hayes Song Kim, who got his

53
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:47.759
<v Speaker 7>first major league start tonight, was two for four, drove

54
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:51.439
<v Speaker 7>in his first run, stole his second base, and like

55
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:52.520
<v Speaker 7>I mentioned during.

56
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:55.080
<v Speaker 5>The Clubhouse show, I loved.

57
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:58.759
<v Speaker 7>Seeing Otani get excited for Kim in the dugout more

58
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:01.719
<v Speaker 7>than his own home run. And we're starting to see that, right,

59
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:05.360
<v Speaker 7>We're starting to see Otani showed that other side of

60
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:09.159
<v Speaker 7>his personality, similar to what we saw if you were

61
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:12.919
<v Speaker 7>with us after that three hour rain delay in Atlanta

62
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:18.159
<v Speaker 7>at one thirty Eastern time. Otani joining us after the win,

63
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:21.520
<v Speaker 7>and when I asked him about his home run, he

64
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:26.199
<v Speaker 7>started with the answer talking about Roki Sazaki's first major

65
00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:29.319
<v Speaker 7>league win. So all of a sudden, now we're seeing

66
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:33.560
<v Speaker 7>that unselfish side, not only on the field, but in

67
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:37.599
<v Speaker 7>his answers in his actions. By show, Hey Otani, and

68
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:42.240
<v Speaker 7>kudos to our guy Jonathan rb from cama Rio, the

69
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:46.199
<v Speaker 7>Dodgers trainer who is part of those bullpen dogs. He's

70
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:49.080
<v Speaker 7>the trainer that is out there just in case to

71
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:50.639
<v Speaker 7>monitor those relievers.

72
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:53.520
<v Speaker 5>He caught Otani's one hundred and.

73
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:57.560
<v Speaker 7>Eighteen mile an hour home run as he snow coned

74
00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:00.400
<v Speaker 7>the catch with his glove out there, and all the

75
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:05.360
<v Speaker 7>relievers were going crazy for Jonathan IRBs, So congratulations to him.

76
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:10.120
<v Speaker 7>Eight six six seven two five seventy is the phone number.

77
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:12.639
<v Speaker 7>I see you and I see we have a couple

78
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:15.879
<v Speaker 7>of lines open. Before we go to the phones, I

79
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:18.959
<v Speaker 7>want to head downstairs to the manager's office to hear

80
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:23.040
<v Speaker 7>from Dave Roberts, because maybe the only downer of this

81
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:26.079
<v Speaker 7>win for the Dodgers is the fact that tae Oscar

82
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:29.720
<v Speaker 7>Hernandez had to leave this game early due to left

83
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:33.800
<v Speaker 7>hamstring tightness. Let's hear from the Dodger manager to get

84
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:34.920
<v Speaker 7>more details.

85
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:37.680
<v Speaker 8>You know, he's, uh, he's gonna get it right tomorrow.

86
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:41.879
<v Speaker 8>So it's been uh, you know, I got worried that

87
00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:44.959
<v Speaker 8>it was it was tight. You know, there's a hamstring

88
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:48.199
<v Speaker 8>and adductor and he's a guy that just doesn't come

89
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:50.319
<v Speaker 8>out of games, you know. By way of injuries. So

90
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:54.879
<v Speaker 8>that's a little concerning given the person. So we're going

91
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:57.199
<v Speaker 8>to get some pictures and see how it is tomorrow.

92
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:01.920
<v Speaker 9>Just considering that, I guess you talked about kind of

93
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:04.879
<v Speaker 9>the concern level. But is this something that you're hoping

94
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:07.439
<v Speaker 9>if maybe there was an Eyeleston it could just be that,

95
00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:08.800
<v Speaker 9>or do you think it's something you're going to have

96
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:11.199
<v Speaker 9>to keep an eye on for some time or tomorrow

97
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:13.079
<v Speaker 9>will be very talent.

98
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:14.680
<v Speaker 1>Tomorrow be telling.

99
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.199
<v Speaker 8>We're in talks right now of who we're going to bring.

100
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:22.000
<v Speaker 8>We are going to bring someone to potentially activate our taxi.

101
00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:25.800
<v Speaker 8>I'm not sure who that is right now, but yeah,

102
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:29.079
<v Speaker 8>tomorrow will be telling, but we are. It's certainly an

103
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:29.600
<v Speaker 8>option of that.

104
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:31.680
<v Speaker 10>Did you deal with running the first or a hit

105
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:32.839
<v Speaker 10>or like one of these sorts?

106
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:34.519
<v Speaker 8>I think he felt it when he was breaking for

107
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:35.519
<v Speaker 8>that ball in the gap.

108
00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:39.600
<v Speaker 10>How impressive was nice on Ken tonight?

109
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:40.839
<v Speaker 1>He was great?

110
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:44.920
<v Speaker 8>You know, just I think the other night, you know

111
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:49.399
<v Speaker 8>him on the basis shows his kind of fearlessness, and

112
00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:51.959
<v Speaker 8>for him to come in here and thought a knock,

113
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:56.120
<v Speaker 8>get a couple of hits and you played good defense,

114
00:05:56.360 --> 00:06:00.199
<v Speaker 8>it was just really exciting and he just does that

115
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:03.360
<v Speaker 8>sparked to our ball club, cat.

116
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:06.040
<v Speaker 10>Just step into this and sort of feel like you

117
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:08.160
<v Speaker 10>play free and easy right away for you guys.

118
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:11.040
<v Speaker 8>I think part of is he was one of the

119
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:14.120
<v Speaker 8>better players in the KBO. I think when you're elite

120
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:17.600
<v Speaker 8>at whatever level, there's a certain confidence that you have,

121
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:21.000
<v Speaker 8>and he just has that and he's just not afraid,

122
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:22.319
<v Speaker 8>which is good have received it.

123
00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:24.560
<v Speaker 6>Probably has kind of felt his relationship to show Hey.

124
00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:27.319
<v Speaker 10>I know, obviously Showy made sure to celebrate the moment

125
00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:28.360
<v Speaker 10>with after that whole run.

126
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:31.160
<v Speaker 8>You know what, I think that yeah, with Showhey, But

127
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:35.120
<v Speaker 8>I honestly think that everyone loves Heyesng Kim. Everyone does.

128
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:38.040
<v Speaker 8>So everyone's pulling for him, Everyone's happy. He's just a

129
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:40.000
<v Speaker 8>great teammate, all right.

130
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:43.360
<v Speaker 7>There's manager Dave Roberts after tonight's seven to four win

131
00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:47.199
<v Speaker 7>for the Dodgers, and he's right, everybody loves Hay Song Kim.

132
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:50.160
<v Speaker 7>Going back to spring training, he's a great teammate. Everybody

133
00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:54.560
<v Speaker 7>loves being around him. So certainly a guy that is

134
00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:57.759
<v Speaker 7>a popular teammate, and he had a great first start

135
00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:01.040
<v Speaker 7>in the major leagues tonight. He was called up over

136
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:04.360
<v Speaker 7>the weekend in Atlanta and with the injury to Tommy

137
00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:07.360
<v Speaker 7>Edmund going on the il at that sore right ankle,

138
00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:10.839
<v Speaker 7>and Kim tonight got his first major league started second base,

139
00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:14.639
<v Speaker 7>played great second base, had great baseball instincts there, and

140
00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:18.439
<v Speaker 7>had great baseball instincts again on the basis like we

141
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:21.120
<v Speaker 7>saw last night in the ninth inning, saw it again tonight,

142
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:24.480
<v Speaker 7>stole another base, drove in his first run in the

143
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:26.920
<v Speaker 7>sixth inning, got his first major league hit in the

144
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:29.959
<v Speaker 7>fifth inning. So a really great night, and like Dave

145
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:33.800
<v Speaker 7>Roberts said, a different dimension that the Dodgers really haven't

146
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:37.480
<v Speaker 7>had that at the bottom of the orders. Certainly, as

147
00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:41.439
<v Speaker 7>I mentioned with Jose Mota, Gavin Lux plus runner I guess,

148
00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:46.920
<v Speaker 7>but no, nothing close to Hayesan Kim, and Miguel Rojas

149
00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:49.439
<v Speaker 7>is thirty six years old now and a part time player.

150
00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:52.759
<v Speaker 7>So the Dodgers kind of need that type of guy,

151
00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:58.040
<v Speaker 7>and certainly would be a tremendous dynamic at the nine

152
00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:00.319
<v Speaker 7>hole for the Dodgers to turn the line up over

153
00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:02.639
<v Speaker 7>and have a guy like him on base more times

154
00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:05.920
<v Speaker 7>than not. I'm not gonna say that he's gonna do

155
00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:08.600
<v Speaker 7>this every single night, but if he can get on

156
00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:10.319
<v Speaker 7>base at least twice a night.

157
00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:12.399
<v Speaker 5>Every two to three games.

158
00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:16.439
<v Speaker 7>That would be huge for the Dodgers because that would

159
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:20.120
<v Speaker 7>just make like we saw tonight's Sandy al Cantra be

160
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:23.879
<v Speaker 7>a little bit distracted where he makes a mistake pitch

161
00:08:23.959 --> 00:08:26.399
<v Speaker 7>to show hey O Tani and he hits it a

162
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:29.519
<v Speaker 7>long way like he did tonight as the Dodgers win

163
00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:32.000
<v Speaker 7>seven to four. Also, before we go back to the

164
00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:34.919
<v Speaker 7>phone calls, I just want one pack what Dave Roberts

165
00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:37.039
<v Speaker 7>had to say about Taoscar Hernandez.

166
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:38.919
<v Speaker 5>That doesn't sound good.

167
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:42.279
<v Speaker 7>And you may say, well, the Dodgers could call somebody

168
00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:45.039
<v Speaker 7>else up. They got enough guys. I hate to break

169
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:48.200
<v Speaker 7>this to you, but Tony Edmond and Taoscar Hernandez have

170
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:52.720
<v Speaker 7>been the most consistent players for the Dodgers offensively all

171
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:57.039
<v Speaker 7>season long. Taoscar Hernandez is hitting three point fifteen after

172
00:08:57.080 --> 00:09:00.679
<v Speaker 7>two more hits tonight, with an ops of nine thirty three,

173
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:05.720
<v Speaker 7>and he leads Major League Baseball with Aaron Judge in RBIs.

174
00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:10.279
<v Speaker 7>He has been invaluable hitting behind Otani, Betts and Freeman.

175
00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:12.080
<v Speaker 5>Who's going to take that role.

176
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:14.000
<v Speaker 7>It's one thing to say, Okay, we could call a

177
00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:17.720
<v Speaker 7>player up and maybe move Pahez to right. Maybe have

178
00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:21.679
<v Speaker 7>Kim play Moore's center field, But who's going to fill

179
00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:27.279
<v Speaker 7>his shoes as the right handed hitter hitting cleanup behind Otani,

180
00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:28.279
<v Speaker 7>Betts and Freeman.

181
00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:30.279
<v Speaker 5>That's the bigger question.

182
00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:33.120
<v Speaker 7>It's not who can fill in defensively and you move

183
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:37.120
<v Speaker 7>the puzzle pieces, especially if Taoskar's out for an extended

184
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:41.039
<v Speaker 7>period of time, and when you're talking about adductor and hamstrings,

185
00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:45.039
<v Speaker 7>that's not a fifteen day period of time that you're out.

186
00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:50.000
<v Speaker 7>You're out weeks and look big picture, the Dodgers can

187
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:54.720
<v Speaker 7>handle it, but that probably means Will Smith hitting cleanup.

188
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:57.720
<v Speaker 7>And Will Smith has been one of the best hitters

189
00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:00.759
<v Speaker 7>with runners in scoring position, so now well he is

190
00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:03.240
<v Speaker 7>going to have to be that guy hitting cleanup to

191
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:07.120
<v Speaker 7>be able to deliver in those situations. Eight six, six,

192
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:10.240
<v Speaker 7>nine eighty seven, two five seventy is the phone number.

193
00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:13.840
<v Speaker 7>We'll head back downstairs for a more more postgame reaction

194
00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:17.360
<v Speaker 7>later in the show, and also you'll hear from Joe

195
00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:21.120
<v Speaker 7>Tory our extended conversation with the Hall of Fame manager

196
00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:24.159
<v Speaker 7>coming up at seven forty tonight. Let's go out to

197
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:29.000
<v Speaker 7>Hemmett Glenn. You're on Dodger Talk Live from Miami, Hi Glenn.

198
00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:30.600
<v Speaker 10>Thanks for taking my call.

199
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:33.279
<v Speaker 3>I wanted to talk to you about Clayton Kershaw.

200
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:34.600
<v Speaker 10>How has he been doing?

201
00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:36.279
<v Speaker 1>Where is your schedule to start?

202
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:40.200
<v Speaker 3>I hope it's on May nineteenth with then Scorry babehad night.

203
00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:47.840
<v Speaker 7>Well, Kershaw can be activated on May seventeenth. That's the

204
00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:51.240
<v Speaker 7>time that he can be activated. Dave Roberts mentioned May tenth,

205
00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:56.279
<v Speaker 7>but I counted sixty days being May seventeenth, so right

206
00:10:56.320 --> 00:10:58.799
<v Speaker 7>there in that week of May tenth to seventeenth, so

207
00:10:58.840 --> 00:10:59.960
<v Speaker 7>that's when he should be back.

208
00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:03.480
<v Speaker 3>Okay, okay, thank you?

209
00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:06.240
<v Speaker 7>Is that it all right? Thank you for the phone call.

210
00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:08.799
<v Speaker 7>Let's go out to Artie and El Segundo. You're on

211
00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:10.639
<v Speaker 7>Dodger Talk with David Vassay.

212
00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:14.519
<v Speaker 3>Hi, Artie, thank you for having me. It's a fortunate

213
00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:18.600
<v Speaker 3>you know, the OSCO has done this, you know went out,

214
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:22.679
<v Speaker 3>you know the league leading RBI. But my question is

215
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:26.240
<v Speaker 3>off topic of baseball. What do you think about these patches?

216
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:28.399
<v Speaker 3>You know, I've been trying to ask and I can't

217
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:30.759
<v Speaker 3>get an answer. You know, they have these Google hand

218
00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:34.000
<v Speaker 3>patches and the Fernando patches. Some players have them opposite

219
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:36.519
<v Speaker 3>than others. Why is that? I mean, it shouldn't be

220
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:39.799
<v Speaker 3>uniform being all similar.

221
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:42.480
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I don't.

222
00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:44.840
<v Speaker 7>I haven't taken a close enough look at that, but

223
00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:47.399
<v Speaker 7>it could be what hand they throw with, or if

224
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:50.960
<v Speaker 7>you're a pitcher, which arm you throw with, because you

225
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:54.240
<v Speaker 7>don't want to have it's kind of clunky those patches,

226
00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:58.080
<v Speaker 7>especially the big Guggenheim one, so I could imagine them

227
00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:00.159
<v Speaker 7>having it on their glove side.

228
00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:02.960
<v Speaker 3>I'll take you very much.

229
00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:07.120
<v Speaker 7>All right, thanks for the phone call, already appreciated. Yeah,

230
00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:09.960
<v Speaker 7>I guess those are the things that make you go hmmm.

231
00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:13.080
<v Speaker 7>As our Sineo Hall used to say, let's go out

232
00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:16.440
<v Speaker 7>to my hometown of Woodland Hills A Meir. You're on

233
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:18.120
<v Speaker 7>Dodger Talk Live from Miami.

234
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:22.159
<v Speaker 6>Hi, am here, Hey Dave, first time caller, A huge

235
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:25.759
<v Speaker 6>fan of yours. I just wanted to ask you if

236
00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:29.080
<v Speaker 6>I can get your If I could get your your

237
00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:33.279
<v Speaker 6>your special edition makers Mark uh Dodgers bottle, I couldn't

238
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:34.679
<v Speaker 6>find one, so could I have yours?

239
00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:36.440
<v Speaker 3>My what.

240
00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:40.919
<v Speaker 10>You're to your Maker's Mark La Dodgers the World series

241
00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:43.240
<v Speaker 10>one that you got?

242
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:48.120
<v Speaker 7>Geez, you follow me on Instagram, don't you?

243
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:48.440
<v Speaker 9>Yeah?

244
00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:50.879
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I did post that during the holidays. They sent

245
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:51.279
<v Speaker 5>me one.

246
00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:53.559
<v Speaker 7>I can't remember if I still have it or I

247
00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:55.120
<v Speaker 7>gave it to somebody else some here.

248
00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:57.519
<v Speaker 3>All good, All good.

249
00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:01.120
<v Speaker 10>I just had two questions. The first is, I'm not

250
00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:03.720
<v Speaker 10>really too worried about the offense, even with ta Oscar

251
00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:06.799
<v Speaker 10>and Edmund being out, I'm not worried about it. My

252
00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:10.200
<v Speaker 10>question is with with Michael Conforto, with the struggles he's

253
00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:13.240
<v Speaker 10>having right now, if he doesn't really pick it up,

254
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:17.559
<v Speaker 10>and who would And if I Sung Kim keeps playing well,

255
00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:21.799
<v Speaker 10>who's the odd man out in that situation? And next,

256
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:23.840
<v Speaker 10>my second question is what do you think about the

257
00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:27.000
<v Speaker 10>Dodgers defense overall as have made improvement since the beginning

258
00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:27.559
<v Speaker 10>of the season.

259
00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:29.440
<v Speaker 3>That's it, all right?

260
00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:32.840
<v Speaker 7>And here, if I haven't given away that Maker's mark

261
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:36.360
<v Speaker 7>Dodger bottle, I don't know if I could give it

262
00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:39.799
<v Speaker 7>to you, but I'll see what I could do in

263
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:42.000
<v Speaker 7>place of it. But anyway, thank you for the phone call.

264
00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:46.240
<v Speaker 7>And yes, I do believe the Dodger defense has improved.

265
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:49.080
<v Speaker 7>And as far as Michael Conforto goes, I feel like

266
00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:54.360
<v Speaker 7>he has been the least talked about slumping Dodger because

267
00:13:55.159 --> 00:13:58.200
<v Speaker 7>into the sixth inning, coming into the sixth inning tonight,

268
00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:01.519
<v Speaker 7>he was oh for his last thirty one, he got

269
00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:04.120
<v Speaker 7>a single and I'm sure he was exhaling in that

270
00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:09.639
<v Speaker 7>sixth inning, so he snapped an zero for thirty one slump.

271
00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:12.720
<v Speaker 7>He's not going anywhere. The Dodgers signed him to big

272
00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:15.919
<v Speaker 7>money during the off season. The Dodgers believe he's going

273
00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:18.200
<v Speaker 7>to hit. I know a lot of coaches believe that

274
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:21.279
<v Speaker 7>he's going to hit. It's just unfortunate he went into

275
00:14:21.320 --> 00:14:25.360
<v Speaker 7>that extended slump. And as far as who would take

276
00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:28.720
<v Speaker 7>his spot or who's taken whose spot in the outfield

277
00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:31.799
<v Speaker 7>right now, it's not as crowded as it was before

278
00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:34.879
<v Speaker 7>the game with the injury to Taoscar Hernandez. Now, who

279
00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:38.919
<v Speaker 7>are the Dodgers considering It would be one of three

280
00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:42.679
<v Speaker 7>players I would imagine that they are considering calling up

281
00:14:42.759 --> 00:14:46.960
<v Speaker 7>from their forty man roster. Number one would be James Outman,

282
00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:49.240
<v Speaker 7>who has started to swing the bat a lot better

283
00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:52.080
<v Speaker 7>in the minor leagues. He gives the Dodgers a left

284
00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:56.200
<v Speaker 7>handed bat, something that they really don't have. They did

285
00:14:56.360 --> 00:15:00.159
<v Speaker 7>sign a Stereo Ruiz, who's a speedster from the oh

286
00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:03.399
<v Speaker 7>Glenn Slash Vegas as he's on the forty man roster,

287
00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:06.559
<v Speaker 7>and another player that's not on the forty man roster,

288
00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:09.320
<v Speaker 7>but is going to be a major league player for

289
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:11.440
<v Speaker 7>the Dodgers sooner rather than later.

290
00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:12.639
<v Speaker 5>Is Alex Freeland.

291
00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:15.919
<v Speaker 7>He could play third, he could play short, so he

292
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:18.840
<v Speaker 7>gives you an option at third base if Munsey continues

293
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:22.960
<v Speaker 7>to struggle. So those would be my three picks of

294
00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:26.000
<v Speaker 7>who is going to be called up with Teoscar Hernandez

295
00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:28.799
<v Speaker 7>likely going on the injured list. We're gonna take a

296
00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:31.600
<v Speaker 7>time out here live from Miami. When we come back,

314
00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:40.480
<v Speaker 7>Is now tied for the most home runs against the

315
00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:47.600
<v Speaker 7>Marlins all time with forty one. Freddie Freeman forty first

316
00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:51.320
<v Speaker 7>career home run against the Marlins tyson with Ryan Zimmerman

317
00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:55.039
<v Speaker 7>and Ryan Howard for the most home runs hit against

318
00:16:55.039 --> 00:16:59.960
<v Speaker 7>the Marlins franchise. More importantly, Freddie Freeman, with that home run,

319
00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:03.919
<v Speaker 7>hits his three hundred and fiftieth career home run, making

320
00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:07.680
<v Speaker 7>him just the one hundred and first player in baseball

321
00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:12.799
<v Speaker 7>history to achieve that milestone. As Freeman helps the Dodgers

322

<v Speaker 7>beat the Marlins tonight seven to four, Daniels Jewelers presents

328
00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:35.440
<v Speaker 7>Eight six, six, nine eight seven two five seventy is

329
00:17:35.480 --> 00:17:38.960
<v Speaker 7>the phone number the Dodgers come back and beat the

330
00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:42.440
<v Speaker 7>Marlins after losing on Sunday Night Baseball last night. They

331
00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:45.559
<v Speaker 7>have won three of the first four on this road trip,

332
00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:49.440
<v Speaker 7>the longest road trip of the season, ten games in

333
00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:52.880
<v Speaker 7>ten days, and you have to give the Dodgers some credit.

334
00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:56.799
<v Speaker 7>I know they're highly paid professional athletes. I get it,

335
00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:00.880
<v Speaker 7>but you have to take into consideration. They start the

336
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:04.359
<v Speaker 7>road trip in Atlanta, they have to endure a three

337
00:18:04.599 --> 00:18:08.160
<v Speaker 7>hour and six minute rain delay before first pitch is thrown.

338
00:18:08.680 --> 00:18:12.680
<v Speaker 7>Game ends at one thirty one, forty Eastern time. They

339
00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:15.119
<v Speaker 7>have to come back the next day play Sunday Night

340
00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:19.599
<v Speaker 7>Baseball and then fly to Miami overnight and arrive at

341
00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:23.240
<v Speaker 7>their hotel close to three a m. And then play

342
00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:26.000
<v Speaker 7>in front of a sparse crowd here in Miami and

343
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:29.599
<v Speaker 7>generate the adrenaline and energy to beat the Marlins. They

344
00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:33.400
<v Speaker 7>were able to do that seven to four tonight against Miami,

345
00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:36.640
<v Speaker 7>and they went with basically a bullpen game. It started

346
00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:39.839
<v Speaker 7>with Jack Dryer, it ended with Kirby Yate's first save

347
00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:43.160
<v Speaker 7>as a Dodger. But in between a big way, Ben

348
00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:47.559
<v Speaker 7>Casparius being the most versatile pitcher on this staff comes

349
00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:50.680
<v Speaker 7>in in bulk relief for four innings and only gives

350
00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:53.759
<v Speaker 7>up one earned run to improve his record of four

351
00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:56.759
<v Speaker 7>to ozhero. Let's head downstairs right now to the Dodger

352
00:18:56.839 --> 00:19:01.839
<v Speaker 7>Clubhouse to hear from the very strong and casparious. Yeah.

353
00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:04.400
<v Speaker 11>I felt like the first inning was just kind of

354
00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:06.519
<v Speaker 11>getting the rust off a little bit. Then I started

355
00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:08.680
<v Speaker 11>to settle in the next three or so and I

356
00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:11.000
<v Speaker 11>felt good overall. It was good to kind of, you know,

357
00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:12.759
<v Speaker 11>get to that seventy pitch mark. It's been a while

358
00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:15.519
<v Speaker 11>since I've done that, and overall felt pretty good.

359
00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:17.759
<v Speaker 9>You find it's just kind of like a natural build

360
00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:19.400
<v Speaker 9>up for you. I mean, Dave Roberts was saying he

361
00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:21.920
<v Speaker 9>kind of wants to keep you in that sixty seventy range.

362
00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:25.400
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, I felt like I felt solid after fifty four

363
00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:28.400
<v Speaker 11>last week, and again I figured it was going to

364
00:19:28.440 --> 00:19:31.279
<v Speaker 11>be closer to seventy and I'm glad to reach that mark,

365
00:19:31.319 --> 00:19:32.079
<v Speaker 11>but I felt good.

366
00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:34.000
<v Speaker 9>Sounds like the next one will be more of like

367
00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:37.200
<v Speaker 9>a yes, traditional routine. That's something I guess it will

368
00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:39.519
<v Speaker 9>be kind of nice to have, just considering whether it's

369
00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:44.319
<v Speaker 9>kind of a bullpen. And now in a sense stepping

370
00:19:44.319 --> 00:19:45.359
<v Speaker 9>into the rotation.

371
00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:48.720
<v Speaker 11>For sure, and again like whatever the role is, whether

372
00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:51.799
<v Speaker 11>it's you know, following an opener like Jack getting a

373
00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:54.480
<v Speaker 11>traditional start, I think just getting back on that routine.

374
00:19:54.920 --> 00:19:58.599
<v Speaker 11>It's been encouraging obviously, you know, not having to be

375
00:19:58.680 --> 00:20:00.000
<v Speaker 11>ready to go every single day out of the book,

376
00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:04.519
<v Speaker 11>and just the changes are really more just in the

377
00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:06.480
<v Speaker 11>training room, in the weight room and kind of how

378
00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:08.640
<v Speaker 11>I'm distributing my time. But I feel comfortable with.

379
00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:10.519
<v Speaker 5>That, all right.

380
00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:13.000
<v Speaker 7>There's Ben Casparius, and that's what he told me when

381
00:20:13.039 --> 00:20:15.039
<v Speaker 7>I asked him at Dodger Stadium.

382
00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:17.119
<v Speaker 5>If you're thrust into.

383
00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:20.319
<v Speaker 7>A new role where either you're starting or coming in

384
00:20:20.359 --> 00:20:23.799
<v Speaker 7>every fifth day as the bulk innings pitcher and Dave

385
00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:26.759
<v Speaker 7>Roberts indicated before the game, this is not going to

386
00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:30.519
<v Speaker 7>be the last time Casparius does this. Five or six

387
00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:32.720
<v Speaker 7>days from now, he's going to be in the same role,

388
00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:35.839
<v Speaker 7>maybe even starting. And he said, you know what, it's

389
00:20:35.880 --> 00:20:39.079
<v Speaker 7>not going to change. If I need to come into

390
00:20:39.160 --> 00:20:41.920
<v Speaker 7>a game two days before I'm going to pitch, that

391
00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:43.680
<v Speaker 7>would substitute as.

392
00:20:43.599 --> 00:20:44.720
<v Speaker 5>My bullpen games.

393
00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:48.559
<v Speaker 7>So he told me the biggest difference is what and

394
00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:51.559
<v Speaker 7>when he goes into the weight room and how much

395
00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:54.920
<v Speaker 7>he does before or in between these starts. So that's

396
00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:59.160
<v Speaker 7>the biggest adjustment for Caspiraus. And he told me candidly, basically,

397
00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:01.519
<v Speaker 7>I want to do whatever they want me to do

398
00:21:01.839 --> 00:21:04.680
<v Speaker 7>because I don't want to go to Oklahoma City. So

399
00:21:04.759 --> 00:21:07.079
<v Speaker 7>if they want me to start, I'll do it. If

400
00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:08.960
<v Speaker 7>they want me to come out of the bullpen for

401
00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:11.160
<v Speaker 7>an inning, I'll do it. If they want me to

402
00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:13.680
<v Speaker 7>come in for multi innings, I'll do it. I'll do

403
00:21:13.759 --> 00:21:17.400
<v Speaker 7>whatever it takes to stay in the big leagues. And

404
00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:20.480
<v Speaker 7>he's not going anywhere. And let's not forget he was

405
00:21:20.599 --> 00:21:24.240
<v Speaker 7>unflappable as a rookie making his first start for the

406
00:21:24.319 --> 00:21:27.920
<v Speaker 7>Dodgers in a World Series game at Yankee Stadium, Game four,

407
00:21:28.279 --> 00:21:31.559
<v Speaker 7>and he pitched really well. So kudos to benk Casparrius.

408
00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:34.200
<v Speaker 7>All Right, we're gonna get to our interview now with

409
00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:36.880
<v Speaker 7>Joe Torrey. I had a chance to catch up with

410
00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:40.319
<v Speaker 7>the Hall of Fame manager that won four World Championships

411
00:21:40.680 --> 00:21:45.000
<v Speaker 7>in pinstripes and really was the guy that steered the

412
00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:48.799
<v Speaker 7>ship for that dynasty with Jeter and Pasada and Pettit

413
00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:53.319
<v Speaker 7>and those guys, and Joe Torre's Yankees were the last

414
00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:57.200
<v Speaker 7>major league team to repeat his champions twenty five years ago.

415
00:21:57.799 --> 00:22:00.440
<v Speaker 7>I wanted to tap into a guy that knows about

416
00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:05.240
<v Speaker 7>navigating a winning team a winning culture more than anybody,

417
00:22:05.319 --> 00:22:08.559
<v Speaker 7>since they were the last team not only to repeat,

418
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:12.000
<v Speaker 7>but to repeat in Major League Baseball. So here's my

419
00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:15.039
<v Speaker 7>conversation with the Hall of Fame manager Joe Tory.

420
00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:18.559
<v Speaker 1>You know, David, it's great coming back. You know, you

421
00:22:19.160 --> 00:22:22.359
<v Speaker 1>you come to Los Angeles and I know when I left,

422
00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:25.400
<v Speaker 1>When I left the Yankees and I had the opportunity

423
00:22:25.519 --> 00:22:29.200
<v Speaker 1>to come out here, you don't know really what to expect.

424
00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:32.000
<v Speaker 1>You know. The first thing that comes to your mind

425
00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:36.839
<v Speaker 1>is that when I was a player, you couldn't escape.

426
00:22:36.880 --> 00:22:39.519
<v Speaker 1>It was always drysdown in Kofax. So it was a

427
00:22:39.559 --> 00:22:42.400
<v Speaker 1>little frightening to come out here at that time. The

428
00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:45.200
<v Speaker 1>one thing I did learn when I came out here

429
00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:50.319
<v Speaker 1>is the passion the fans have. And you know, I

430
00:22:50.359 --> 00:22:54.960
<v Speaker 1>know the Lakers are huge and uh, but the Dodgers

431
00:22:55.319 --> 00:23:00.200
<v Speaker 1>really have a following. That that was was so reassuring me.

432
00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:04.759
<v Speaker 7>Joe, I saw you from across Camelback Ranch this spring.

433
00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:08.480
<v Speaker 7>You obviously were patrolling those fields when you were managing

434
00:23:08.519 --> 00:23:12.559
<v Speaker 7>the Dodgers were you taken aback by the popularity of

435
00:23:12.599 --> 00:23:14.440
<v Speaker 7>the Dodgers even in spring training?

436
00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:19.240
<v Speaker 1>You know, I was fortunate enough David to come on

437
00:23:19.319 --> 00:23:21.920
<v Speaker 1>board in two thousand and eight when they were still

438
00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:26.319
<v Speaker 1>in Bureau, and I got a little taste of the history.

439
00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:26.640
<v Speaker 3>You know.

440
00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:29.920
<v Speaker 1>You walk in in through that clubhouse and you see

441
00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:33.400
<v Speaker 1>all the photos from the Dodger teams that I used

442
00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:37.160
<v Speaker 1>to hate because I was a Giants fan. But you

443
00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:42.640
<v Speaker 1>always respected, you know, because they were always there. I know,

444
00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:45.119
<v Speaker 1>they said wait till next year, wait till next year,

445
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:47.519
<v Speaker 1>and they finally won a World Series in fifty five,

446
00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:51.039
<v Speaker 1>but they were always right there on the precipice. And

447
00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:54.559
<v Speaker 1>you know, whether you liked him or you didn't like him,

448
00:23:54.599 --> 00:23:57.359
<v Speaker 1>they were always there and you had to respect that fact.

449
00:23:58.599 --> 00:23:58.880
<v Speaker 5>Joe.

450
00:23:58.880 --> 00:24:01.960
<v Speaker 7>Before we get back in to baseball, I definitely want

451
00:24:01.960 --> 00:24:04.359
<v Speaker 7>to shine a light on the reason why you are

452
00:24:04.400 --> 00:24:08.799
<v Speaker 7>back in Los Angeles. It's your annual Joe Tory Safe

453
00:24:08.839 --> 00:24:11.799
<v Speaker 7>at Home gallop. This is a special one because the

454
00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:16.119
<v Speaker 7>proceeds benefit Safe at Homes Margaret's place, and with the

455
00:24:16.160 --> 00:24:20.519
<v Speaker 7>fires that have displaced not only families but students, a

456
00:24:20.519 --> 00:24:25.160
<v Speaker 7>lot of these proceeds are going to help build a

457
00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:28.440
<v Speaker 7>safe at home at the Series building on Third Street

458
00:24:28.480 --> 00:24:32.240
<v Speaker 7>Promenade for all those Pally High kids and the kids

459
00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:35.000
<v Speaker 7>that are affected from K through twelve.

460
00:24:35.400 --> 00:24:39.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, it was so devastating. I mean, my wife Ali

461
00:24:39.240 --> 00:24:44.640
<v Speaker 1>and I came through La actually right at the start

462
00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:47.440
<v Speaker 1>of the fires. We were on our way to Hawaii,

463
00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:53.559
<v Speaker 1>and it just was devastating. It was so frightening. And

464
00:24:53.599 --> 00:24:56.680
<v Speaker 1>then to see the result, you know.

465
00:24:56.799 --> 00:24:57.839
<v Speaker 3>And of course.

466
00:24:59.599 --> 00:25:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Last time I was here, we went out to Pally

467
00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:06.839
<v Speaker 1>High to you know, just hang out with the with

468
00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:13.480
<v Speaker 1>the baseball team, and Billy Crystal was was nice enough

469
00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:15.799
<v Speaker 1>to come out and join me and we had a little,

470
00:25:16.359 --> 00:25:19.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, a little chat with the baseball team, you know,

471
00:25:19.359 --> 00:25:22.519
<v Speaker 1>because it's devastating all of a sudden. You know, you're

472
00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:24.880
<v Speaker 1>a young man, you're going to school, you're playing on

473
00:25:24.920 --> 00:25:27.119
<v Speaker 1>the baseball team, and all of a sudden your school

474
00:25:27.200 --> 00:25:32.599
<v Speaker 1>is gone. It's you know, it's frightening. But the one

475
00:25:32.640 --> 00:25:34.920
<v Speaker 1>thing about it, and we tried, Billy and I tried

476
00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:39.440
<v Speaker 1>to did stress to the team. You know that's that

477
00:25:39.519 --> 00:25:43.400
<v Speaker 1>really reunites you and unite you, I should say, unite

478
00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:48.000
<v Speaker 1>you together and you rely on each other because it's

479
00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:51.759
<v Speaker 1>tough going through life. By yourself and then you know,

480
00:25:51.920 --> 00:25:57.599
<v Speaker 1>I think the team concept really really was magnified at

481
00:25:57.960 --> 00:25:59.039
<v Speaker 1>this point in time.

482
00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:00.359
<v Speaker 3>But it was so.

483
00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:05.839
<v Speaker 1>Devastating what happened in LA and it I'm just pleased

484
00:26:05.920 --> 00:26:08.680
<v Speaker 1>now that we, you know, we were able to do

485
00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:10.960
<v Speaker 1>some good and go out and talk to the kids

486
00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:15.039
<v Speaker 1>at Pally and and in fact, I'm gonna, you know,

487
00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:23.039
<v Speaker 1>head over there tomorrow to spend some time. But it

488
00:26:23.079 --> 00:26:25.960
<v Speaker 1>was it was great that they were able to, you know,

489
00:26:27.079 --> 00:26:30.920
<v Speaker 1>have a Margaret's Place, Margaret's Place obviously is named after

490
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:35.039
<v Speaker 1>my mom, and be there for the kids because that's

491
00:26:35.039 --> 00:26:38.519
<v Speaker 1>our future, David, as you know, and you know, we're

492
00:26:38.839 --> 00:26:41.319
<v Speaker 1>we're pleased to do it. And I'm very touched that,

493
00:26:42.799 --> 00:26:45.319
<v Speaker 1>you know that it's been received so well in the

494
00:26:45.400 --> 00:26:48.759
<v Speaker 1>in the LA area, we have we have more Margaret's

495
00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:51.839
<v Speaker 1>Places in schools here in Los Angeles.

496
00:26:51.279 --> 00:26:52.480
<v Speaker 3>Than we do in New York.

497
00:26:52.599 --> 00:26:56.720
<v Speaker 1>And that's where that's where we originally got started.

498
00:26:57.240 --> 00:26:58.200
<v Speaker 5>That's really special.

499
00:26:58.359 --> 00:27:02.559
<v Speaker 7>Eighteen Margaret's Place is in the area of Los Angeles.

500
00:27:02.880 --> 00:27:06.039
<v Speaker 7>And to support this great cause that Joe Tory started

501
00:27:06.079 --> 00:27:09.880
<v Speaker 7>in honor of his mother, go to Joetory dot org.

502
00:27:10.079 --> 00:27:12.920
<v Speaker 7>And Joe, like you said, as adults, we always have

503
00:27:13.000 --> 00:27:15.400
<v Speaker 7>to worry about how we're going to support the family

504
00:27:15.880 --> 00:27:19.759
<v Speaker 7>when disasters like this happened in Alta, Dina and the Palisades.

505
00:27:19.799 --> 00:27:22.920
<v Speaker 7>But through your own experience, sometimes the kids are the

506
00:27:22.920 --> 00:27:25.319
<v Speaker 7>ones that we forget, and those are the ones that

507
00:27:25.880 --> 00:27:28.039
<v Speaker 7>have a lot of trauma that they need a place

508
00:27:28.119 --> 00:27:29.640
<v Speaker 7>like Margaret's Place to go to.

509
00:27:30.359 --> 00:27:33.240
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know what, I grew up with that, and

510
00:27:33.279 --> 00:27:37.400
<v Speaker 1>that's how we originally came to start our Safe at

511
00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:42.119
<v Speaker 1>Home Foundation. My dad was abusive to my mom. I

512
00:27:42.240 --> 00:27:48.079
<v Speaker 1>never was physically abused, but you know, I learned as

513
00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:50.000
<v Speaker 1>a grown up. You know, first off, I was a

514
00:27:50.160 --> 00:27:53.000
<v Speaker 1>very shy kid. I didn't even go out didn't even

515
00:27:53.440 --> 00:27:55.759
<v Speaker 1>go out for the high school baseball team as a

516
00:27:55.799 --> 00:27:58.079
<v Speaker 1>freshman because I didn't think I was good enough. So

517
00:27:58.960 --> 00:28:02.240
<v Speaker 1>I come to learn how later on that you know what,

518
00:28:02.319 --> 00:28:05.480
<v Speaker 1>my dad, the fear that he brought to the home,

519
00:28:05.960 --> 00:28:10.279
<v Speaker 1>our home every day, it took effect on me. Even

520
00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:15.359
<v Speaker 1>though I wasn't physically abused, the emotional scars they that

521
00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:19.839
<v Speaker 1>never go away. And once I was able to, you know,

522
00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:25.480
<v Speaker 1>feel I needed to talk about it. It was something

523
00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:29.559
<v Speaker 1>I kept inside. And having a Margaret's Place gives these

524
00:28:29.640 --> 00:28:33.519
<v Speaker 1>youngsters a chance to realize they're not alone and they're

525
00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:35.920
<v Speaker 1>not the only ones that are going through this, so that,

526
00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:40.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, if I think back, and you know, had

527
00:28:40.839 --> 00:28:43.839
<v Speaker 1>some place to go or share it with anybody, because

528
00:28:43.880 --> 00:28:46.079
<v Speaker 1>I never did share it with any of my friends

529
00:28:46.119 --> 00:28:50.079
<v Speaker 1>growing up. And I just felt very blessed that I

530
00:28:50.160 --> 00:28:52.720
<v Speaker 1>had the ability to play baseball because it gave me

531
00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:53.599
<v Speaker 1>a place to hide.

532
00:28:53.799 --> 00:28:56.400
<v Speaker 7>Jill, like you said, you didn't have a Margaret's place,

533
00:28:56.440 --> 00:28:58.960
<v Speaker 7>You didn't have a Joe Tory that would set up

534
00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:03.200
<v Speaker 7>eighteen in Los Angeles or New York. Where did you

535
00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:05.359
<v Speaker 7>turn the corner in your life? Where did you find

536
00:29:05.359 --> 00:29:06.240
<v Speaker 7>that inner strength?

537
00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:08.400
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know, it was interesting.

538
00:29:08.559 --> 00:29:10.240
<v Speaker 3>I was just.

539
00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:16.279
<v Speaker 1>I was with the Cardinals and I was fired in

540
00:29:16.400 --> 00:29:21.319
<v Speaker 1>June of ninety five, and my wife Ali was pregnant

541
00:29:21.319 --> 00:29:25.759
<v Speaker 1>with our daughter, Andrea, and we were living in Cincinnati

542
00:29:25.839 --> 00:29:28.759
<v Speaker 1>at the time because when I was fired in Saint Louis,

543
00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:34.279
<v Speaker 1>my Alli is from Cincinnati and she has plenty of

544
00:29:34.319 --> 00:29:37.279
<v Speaker 1>family there. So I knew if I was going to

545
00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:40.720
<v Speaker 1>go look for a job, that she was going to

546
00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:44.079
<v Speaker 1>be surrounded by family. I wouldn't leave her, you know,

547
00:29:44.359 --> 00:29:49.480
<v Speaker 1>by herself. So we moved to Cincinnati and then it

548
00:29:49.680 --> 00:29:54.720
<v Speaker 1>was like late November. There was like a seminar that

549
00:29:54.880 --> 00:30:00.680
<v Speaker 1>was going on at a holiday inn symposium type thing,

550
00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:03.279
<v Speaker 1>and Alie says to me, you want to go with me? Well,

551
00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:05.839
<v Speaker 1>she's eight months pregnant. I'm not about to say no

552
00:30:05.880 --> 00:30:10.960
<v Speaker 1>to anything she asked me to do. And we went

553
00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:13.119
<v Speaker 1>to this holiday end and it turned out to be

554
00:30:13.359 --> 00:30:17.400
<v Speaker 1>like a self help type situation, a four day affair,

555
00:30:19.160 --> 00:30:22.160
<v Speaker 1>And what it amounted to is if, like if you

556
00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:26.240
<v Speaker 1>wanted to quit smoking or some you know, self help

557
00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:31.559
<v Speaker 1>area where you needed some help doing those things. That's

558
00:30:31.599 --> 00:30:33.559
<v Speaker 1>what it was there for. As soon as you walk

559
00:30:33.640 --> 00:30:37.759
<v Speaker 1>in the front door, they separated Ali and I and

560
00:30:38.519 --> 00:30:41.319
<v Speaker 1>they put us in a group of six or eight people.

561
00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:44.480
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I think it was day two or

562
00:30:44.559 --> 00:30:49.680
<v Speaker 1>three that there was a speaker and I can't tell

563
00:30:49.720 --> 00:30:52.519
<v Speaker 1>you what he said. The only thing I could tell

564
00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:57.200
<v Speaker 1>you is that he struck a nerve with me. Now,

565
00:30:57.279 --> 00:31:03.599
<v Speaker 1>I thought I was born with this nervousness and and

566
00:31:03.240 --> 00:31:10.200
<v Speaker 1>and the low self esteem, and just from what this

567
00:31:11.559 --> 00:31:17.279
<v Speaker 1>speaker was talking about was letting me know that what

568
00:31:17.480 --> 00:31:22.680
<v Speaker 1>my dad was doing to us in the home is

569
00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:25.720
<v Speaker 1>what caused it. And it just freed me up to

570
00:31:25.799 --> 00:31:29.039
<v Speaker 1>talk about it. Even though to this day it's still

571
00:31:29.079 --> 00:31:35.640
<v Speaker 1>emotional for me, but at least I know it was

572
00:31:35.680 --> 00:31:40.880
<v Speaker 1>something that happened to me, you know, during my lifetime,

573
00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:43.279
<v Speaker 1>as opposed to being born this way, and it was

574
00:31:43.319 --> 00:31:46.759
<v Speaker 1>something I was embarrassed to talk about before, but once

575
00:31:46.799 --> 00:31:51.039
<v Speaker 1>I realized what the cause was, I wanted to share it.

576
00:31:51.319 --> 00:31:56.119
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I remember the first school that we

577
00:31:56.160 --> 00:31:59.920
<v Speaker 1>went to, you know, when we were just starting, say

578
00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:04.480
<v Speaker 1>at home in New York, and I was talking to

579
00:32:04.559 --> 00:32:09.240
<v Speaker 1>a classroom of young people and I said, we'll talk

580
00:32:09.279 --> 00:32:11.640
<v Speaker 1>to We'll talk baseball in a minute, because there was

581
00:32:11.680 --> 00:32:15.319
<v Speaker 1>a camera crew that followed us to do some b

582
00:32:15.519 --> 00:32:20.079
<v Speaker 1>roll for our dinner, our first dinner, and I said,

583
00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:22.799
<v Speaker 1>I'll talk about baseball in a minute. I said, but

584
00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:26.000
<v Speaker 1>I just want to let you know what this camera

585
00:32:26.079 --> 00:32:28.680
<v Speaker 1>crew is doing here. And I started talking about my

586
00:32:29.440 --> 00:32:31.640
<v Speaker 1>dad was doing to my mom, and I looked out

587
00:32:31.640 --> 00:32:35.839
<v Speaker 1>there and there was probably six or eight kids shaking

588
00:32:35.920 --> 00:32:39.039
<v Speaker 1>their head yes. In other words, they know what I'm

589
00:32:39.079 --> 00:32:42.240
<v Speaker 1>talking about. So I knew we struck a nerve at

590
00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:46.519
<v Speaker 1>that point in time. And it was my wife who

591
00:32:46.640 --> 00:32:50.039
<v Speaker 1>really had the idea to do, you know, start a

592
00:32:50.160 --> 00:32:55.000
<v Speaker 1>foundation and do it through education, because if we're going

593
00:32:55.039 --> 00:32:57.920
<v Speaker 1>to do our part to try to end the cycle

594
00:32:57.920 --> 00:33:02.240
<v Speaker 1>of domestic violence. I think education is the way you

595
00:33:02.359 --> 00:33:07.920
<v Speaker 1>have to, you know, go about it, because young people,

596
00:33:08.599 --> 00:33:13.240
<v Speaker 1>if their only role model is an abusive parent, you

597
00:33:13.279 --> 00:33:15.240
<v Speaker 1>got to let them know that that's not the right

598
00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:19.400
<v Speaker 1>way to go about your life. So we realized that

599
00:33:19.559 --> 00:33:22.839
<v Speaker 1>we struck a nerve. We touch a lot of kids,

600
00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:26.319
<v Speaker 1>and we have twenty five thirty thousand kids that we're

601
00:33:26.359 --> 00:33:30.960
<v Speaker 1>able to reach every year, and it's been really, really

602
00:33:33.079 --> 00:33:35.839
<v Speaker 1>a great feeling for me because we know what we

603
00:33:35.920 --> 00:33:36.680
<v Speaker 1>do works.

604
00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:39.680
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, that's really powerful, Joe, and I'm sure many of

605
00:33:39.720 --> 00:33:42.920
<v Speaker 7>us would be surprised how many people we interact with

606
00:33:42.960 --> 00:33:46.640
<v Speaker 7>that have been either physically or emotionally abused at home

607
00:33:46.720 --> 00:33:49.640
<v Speaker 7>as a kid. And it's beautiful that Joe Torre and

608
00:33:49.680 --> 00:33:53.279
<v Speaker 7>his wife Ali have started this safe at home program

609
00:33:53.359 --> 00:33:56.920
<v Speaker 7>and you can support them at Joetory dot org. They

610
00:33:57.000 --> 00:34:01.319
<v Speaker 7>have eighteen Margaret Places here in Los Angels and they

611
00:34:01.319 --> 00:34:04.640
<v Speaker 7>are trying to help those that were displaced, those kids

612
00:34:04.640 --> 00:34:07.680
<v Speaker 7>that were displaced by the fires in Altadena and the

613
00:34:07.720 --> 00:34:12.400
<v Speaker 7>Pacific Palisades. Joe Tory is our guest, and Joe, since

614
00:34:12.400 --> 00:34:14.760
<v Speaker 7>you're with us, I got to ask you. There's been

615
00:34:14.800 --> 00:34:17.880
<v Speaker 7>so much hype around the Dodgers, and there's been so

616
00:34:18.000 --> 00:34:21.440
<v Speaker 7>much talk about trying to do something that only your

617
00:34:21.559 --> 00:34:24.280
<v Speaker 7>Yankees have done in the last twenty five years, and

618
00:34:24.320 --> 00:34:28.559
<v Speaker 7>that's repeat as champions. What does it take to repeat

619
00:34:28.920 --> 00:34:31.199
<v Speaker 7>as world champions in Major League Baseball?

620
00:34:31.599 --> 00:34:37.519
<v Speaker 1>You know, that's a great question, David. You know, even

621
00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:39.920
<v Speaker 1>the Red Sox when you know, when we had that

622
00:34:41.000 --> 00:34:44.719
<v Speaker 1>rivalry all the time in New York, the Red Sox

623
00:34:44.760 --> 00:34:47.639
<v Speaker 1>when they was, you know, finally did win a World Series,

624
00:34:47.679 --> 00:34:50.760
<v Speaker 1>and then they won another World Series in another World Series,

625
00:34:50.800 --> 00:34:55.599
<v Speaker 1>but they had trouble repeating. I think, you know, I

626
00:34:55.639 --> 00:34:58.079
<v Speaker 1>don't know if it's just social media, but that's a

627
00:34:58.119 --> 00:35:00.960
<v Speaker 1>big part of it. You know, you set your goals,

628
00:35:01.559 --> 00:35:08.400
<v Speaker 1>and you know, when you finally, you know, achieve winning

629
00:35:08.440 --> 00:35:13.719
<v Speaker 1>a World Series. I can't say you celebrate it all

630
00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:16.639
<v Speaker 1>the time, but you know, if you if you say,

631
00:35:16.960 --> 00:35:19.239
<v Speaker 1>you know, you reach the top of the mountain and

632
00:35:19.360 --> 00:35:25.119
<v Speaker 1>you sort of exhale, it's so important to realize that

633
00:35:25.159 --> 00:35:28.280
<v Speaker 1>you have to validate that and you still have to

634
00:35:28.320 --> 00:35:31.800
<v Speaker 1>go and start all over again the next spring and

635
00:35:31.800 --> 00:35:35.119
<v Speaker 1>and realize that, you know, you have to prove that

636
00:35:35.159 --> 00:35:37.679
<v Speaker 1>what you did last year was not a fluke, and

637
00:35:37.800 --> 00:35:42.719
<v Speaker 1>that was that was my mentality my first meeting, believe

638
00:35:42.760 --> 00:35:45.039
<v Speaker 1>it or not, David with the Yankees, which I was

639
00:35:45.199 --> 00:35:48.239
<v Speaker 1>very nervous to give because I knew how important it

640
00:35:48.440 --> 00:35:51.480
<v Speaker 1>was if I was going to go into that situation,

641
00:35:52.000 --> 00:35:54.880
<v Speaker 1>especially to a ball club that had gone to the

642
00:35:54.920 --> 00:35:59.000
<v Speaker 1>playoffs the year before, and I had I had said

643
00:35:59.119 --> 00:36:02.480
<v Speaker 1>and that I don't want to win one World Series,

644
00:36:02.519 --> 00:36:05.199
<v Speaker 1>I want to win three in a row. And I

645
00:36:05.360 --> 00:36:09.719
<v Speaker 1>said that the based on the fact that you know,

646
00:36:09.800 --> 00:36:13.039
<v Speaker 1>I've watched all sports. I've watched you know, the team

647
00:36:13.119 --> 00:36:15.280
<v Speaker 1>win the Super Bowl and then all of a sudden

648
00:36:15.400 --> 00:36:20.079
<v Speaker 1>disappear the next year. And I just had a sense that,

649
00:36:20.920 --> 00:36:24.159
<v Speaker 1>you know, we're not finished working at it. I think

650
00:36:24.199 --> 00:36:27.360
<v Speaker 1>once you stop to admire what you've accomplished, you stop

651
00:36:27.440 --> 00:36:31.400
<v Speaker 1>doing it. And I had a good group obviously that

652
00:36:32.760 --> 00:36:35.599
<v Speaker 1>just never got tired of winning and just felt an

653
00:36:35.639 --> 00:36:39.960
<v Speaker 1>obligation to go out there and and try to get,

654
00:36:40.280 --> 00:36:42.519
<v Speaker 1>you know, get back to the top of the mountain again.

655
00:36:43.360 --> 00:36:47.920
<v Speaker 7>Being around these Dodgers, it doesn't seem there like there's complacency, Joe,

656
00:36:47.960 --> 00:36:50.679
<v Speaker 7>but it is a long regular season to even get

657
00:36:50.719 --> 00:36:54.480
<v Speaker 7>to October. How did you treat the one hundred and

658
00:36:54.519 --> 00:36:56.880
<v Speaker 7>sixty two game marathon the following year.

659
00:36:57.360 --> 00:37:01.400
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know, you you go and you know you've

660
00:37:01.440 --> 00:37:04.920
<v Speaker 1>got the great manager, Dave Roberts, who you know, he

661
00:37:05.039 --> 00:37:10.639
<v Speaker 1>always has that that half full attitude, the glass half full.

662
00:37:11.000 --> 00:37:13.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, you really have to find a way to

663
00:37:13.519 --> 00:37:16.599
<v Speaker 1>get things done. You can't dwell on things you don't have.

664
00:37:16.800 --> 00:37:20.239
<v Speaker 1>You just have to, you know, accentuate the things you

665
00:37:20.320 --> 00:37:24.159
<v Speaker 1>do have. My first year, we lost David Cone early

666
00:37:24.239 --> 00:37:28.119
<v Speaker 1>in the year. He had an aneurysm, and I remember

667
00:37:28.199 --> 00:37:32.239
<v Speaker 1>Don Zimmer saying to me, you know, if we lose Cone,

668
00:37:32.280 --> 00:37:35.760
<v Speaker 1>we're you know, we're in big trouble. But you have

669
00:37:35.880 --> 00:37:37.960
<v Speaker 1>to find a way to move on, you know, you

670
00:37:38.199 --> 00:37:42.960
<v Speaker 1>just that that's the nature of the Beasts. You know,

671
00:37:43.039 --> 00:37:45.880
<v Speaker 1>you work for six seven weeks in spring training, you

672
00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:49.480
<v Speaker 1>get get ready for the season, and you owe it

673
00:37:49.519 --> 00:37:51.440
<v Speaker 1>to yourself, You owe it to your team, and you

674
00:37:51.480 --> 00:37:53.960
<v Speaker 1>owe it to the fans to go out there and

675
00:37:54.039 --> 00:37:57.519
<v Speaker 1>find a way to get it done. And Dave Roberts

676
00:37:57.559 --> 00:38:01.320
<v Speaker 1>is that guy in my mind, even though I didn't

677
00:38:01.400 --> 00:38:03.880
<v Speaker 1>like him very much when he stole Second Date back

678
00:38:03.920 --> 00:38:07.639
<v Speaker 1>in oh four, but we I got over that. I

679
00:38:07.719 --> 00:38:09.239
<v Speaker 1>finally got over that, by the.

680
00:38:09.159 --> 00:38:12.800
<v Speaker 5>Way, and it's how many years later.

681
00:38:15.679 --> 00:38:17.719
<v Speaker 1>I still have waked, you know, I still wake in

682
00:38:17.719 --> 00:38:20.400
<v Speaker 1>the middle of the night sometimes, but I maybe it'll

683
00:38:20.519 --> 00:38:25.159
<v Speaker 1>roll over. So but it's it's it's not easy to do. Uh.

684
00:38:25.239 --> 00:38:27.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, once you get to the top of the mountain,

685
00:38:27.559 --> 00:38:30.639
<v Speaker 1>everybody's shooting at you. And they they always put on

686
00:38:30.679 --> 00:38:33.119
<v Speaker 1>their Sunday best when they play you because they know

687
00:38:33.199 --> 00:38:36.280
<v Speaker 1>it's a feather in their cap if they beat the

688
00:38:36.320 --> 00:38:40.840
<v Speaker 1>Dodgers and they're the world champs. So it's just it's

689
00:38:40.880 --> 00:38:44.400
<v Speaker 1>just something that you know, you you've got to you know,

690
00:38:44.559 --> 00:38:48.840
<v Speaker 1>have a strong backbone and uh, and understand, nobody's gonna

691
00:38:48.840 --> 00:38:51.159
<v Speaker 1>feel sorry for you, so you better get out there

692
00:38:51.199 --> 00:38:52.199
<v Speaker 1>and work hards.

693
00:38:52.920 --> 00:38:56.079
<v Speaker 7>Great wisdom from experience from one of the great men

694
00:38:56.280 --> 00:38:59.199
<v Speaker 7>to ever put on the uniform as a player or

695
00:38:59.239 --> 00:39:03.239
<v Speaker 7>a manager, and that is the one and only Joe Tory. Joe,

696
00:39:03.760 --> 00:39:06.639
<v Speaker 7>thank you so much for the time and man, thank

697
00:39:06.679 --> 00:39:09.480
<v Speaker 7>you again for doing what you're doing in Los Angeles.

698
00:39:09.519 --> 00:39:12.480
<v Speaker 7>The Safe at Home Gala is on Thursday. If you'd

699
00:39:12.519 --> 00:39:14.880
<v Speaker 7>like to donate to a great cause that is helping

700
00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:18.519
<v Speaker 7>so many kids out there, go to Joetory dot org.

701
00:39:18.960 --> 00:39:21.679
<v Speaker 7>Joe hope to see you out the ballpark soon and thank.

702
00:39:21.519 --> 00:39:23.800
<v Speaker 1>You for your time anytime. Take care.

703
00:39:24.159 --> 00:39:26.639
<v Speaker 7>All right, There was Hall of Fame manager Joe Tory.

704
00:39:26.840 --> 00:39:30.159
<v Speaker 7>I had to share that full conversation with Joe Tory

705
00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:33.760
<v Speaker 7>because a he's doing a great thing to help the

706
00:39:33.800 --> 00:39:36.960
<v Speaker 7>people that were affected and the kids especially that were

707
00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:40.239
<v Speaker 7>affected by the Palisades fire and also the fires in

708
00:39:40.280 --> 00:39:42.920
<v Speaker 7>Alta Dina. We need to keep all of those people

709
00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:47.519
<v Speaker 7>still in our forethoughts because they are still grinding through

710
00:39:47.639 --> 00:39:50.559
<v Speaker 7>each and every day, and their homes are not rebuilt,

711
00:39:50.599 --> 00:39:54.000
<v Speaker 7>and they're still looking for some normalcy in their lives.

712
00:39:54.000 --> 00:39:57.119
<v Speaker 7>And certainly Joe Torrey and his wife Ali have done

713
00:39:57.159 --> 00:40:00.000
<v Speaker 7>a great job with their foundation. You can help them

714
00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:03.079
<v Speaker 7>out at Joe Tory dot org. And I loved his

715
00:40:03.159 --> 00:40:07.119
<v Speaker 7>insight on what it will take to repeat as world champions,

716
00:40:07.199 --> 00:40:10.760
<v Speaker 7>because the Dodgers seem to have that focus. And I

717
00:40:10.800 --> 00:40:13.639
<v Speaker 7>loved what Joe Torrey had to say there. You can't

718
00:40:13.760 --> 00:40:16.760
<v Speaker 7>admire what you did last year, and I've heard Freddie

719
00:40:16.800 --> 00:40:19.800
<v Speaker 7>Freeman and Mookie Betts talk about it. Yeah, they've handed

720
00:40:19.840 --> 00:40:22.840
<v Speaker 7>out the rings to teammates that are no longer wearing

721
00:40:22.960 --> 00:40:26.400
<v Speaker 7>Dodger blue, but they are not admiring what they did

722
00:40:26.519 --> 00:40:29.000
<v Speaker 7>last year. Case in point, what they've done on this

723
00:40:29.079 --> 00:40:31.880
<v Speaker 7>road trip already, the longest road trip of the year,

724
00:40:32.000 --> 00:40:35.320
<v Speaker 7>that saw three hour rain delay in Atlanta Sunday Night

725
00:40:35.320 --> 00:40:38.719
<v Speaker 7>baseball last night, arriving in their hotel rooms at two

726
00:40:38.880 --> 00:40:41.760
<v Speaker 7>thirty yesterday, and they come out in a stadium that

727
00:40:41.880 --> 00:40:45.159
<v Speaker 7>has zero energy and they beat the Marlins seven to

728
00:40:45.239 --> 00:40:48.960
<v Speaker 7>four in resounding fashions. So the Dodgers have the veteran

729
00:40:49.000 --> 00:40:52.000
<v Speaker 7>group to be able to hold each other accountable and

730
00:40:52.079 --> 00:40:55.280
<v Speaker 7>do exactly what Joe Torrey's Yankees did. So a great

731
00:40:55.320 --> 00:40:58.079
<v Speaker 7>message there from Joe Tory, the Hall of Fame manager,

732
00:40:58.119 --> 00:41:00.880
<v Speaker 7>and the Dodgers, like I said, are applying that that'll

733
00:41:00.920 --> 00:41:03.599
<v Speaker 7>do it for us. Tonight on Dodger Talk from Miami.

734
00:41:03.760 --> 00:41:06.440
<v Speaker 7>Coming up tomorrow, Game two of this three game series

735
00:41:06.480 --> 00:41:09.599
<v Speaker 7>between the Dodgers and Marlins. Tony Gonsolin we'll be making

736
00:41:09.679 --> 00:41:13.840
<v Speaker 7>a second start of the season, second time facing the Marlins.

737
00:41:13.880 --> 00:41:14.679
<v Speaker 5>In the last week.

738
00:41:14.760 --> 00:41:17.679
<v Speaker 7>He went six innings, allowed US three earned runs, going

739
00:41:17.760 --> 00:41:20.280
<v Speaker 7>up against Cal Quantrell, who got beat up by the

740
00:41:20.320 --> 00:41:24.440
<v Speaker 7>Dodgers last week as well. Morongo Casino Dodgers on Deck

741
