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

2
00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:05.280
<v Speaker 1>David Vasse.

3
00:00:06.719 --> 00:00:10.640
<v Speaker 2>We are live at Dodgers Stadium after Game one of

4
00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:14.880
<v Speaker 2>the NLCS as the Dodgers shut out the Mets nine

5
00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:19.160
<v Speaker 2>to nothing. Welcome the Dodger Talk David Vasse with you

6
00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:22.280
<v Speaker 2>until ten o'clock tonight here on AM five to seventy

7
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:25.800
<v Speaker 2>LA Sports phone lines are open at eight six six nine,

8
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:29.359
<v Speaker 2>eight seven two five seventy. We will hear from Jose

9
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:33.280
<v Speaker 2>Mota at nine forty tonight. Also we'll head downstairs to

10
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:37.320
<v Speaker 2>the Dodger Clubhouse to hear from Mookie Bets and Freddie Freeman.

11
00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:40.640
<v Speaker 2>But when you look at this game tonight, it starts

12
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:44.079
<v Speaker 2>and ends with Jack Flaherty. With the way Jack Flaherty

13
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:46.439
<v Speaker 2>came out in the top of the first inning, and

14
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:49.920
<v Speaker 2>how much of a feel he had for his slider

15
00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:53.439
<v Speaker 2>and his curveball, and the way he attacked the Mets hitters,

16
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:56.200
<v Speaker 2>you felt like it was going to be a good

17
00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:59.560
<v Speaker 2>night for the Dodgers. And when the Dodgers loaded the

18
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:02.920
<v Speaker 2>base is against CODEI Senga in the bottom of the

19
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:06.680
<v Speaker 2>first inning and we're not able to score until they

20
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:09.760
<v Speaker 2>got two outs, it was a little bit of nervous time,

21
00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:12.439
<v Speaker 2>and you felt like, Okay, here we go. We're letting

22
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:15.480
<v Speaker 2>Senga off the hook right here if you're the Dodgers.

23
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:19.200
<v Speaker 2>But Max Munsey delivered a clutch base hit to drive

24
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:22.000
<v Speaker 2>in the first two runs of the game, and Jack

25
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:25.200
<v Speaker 2>Flarity and the Dodgers were off to the races. The

26
00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:28.040
<v Speaker 2>Mets did not get a hit until the fifth inning.

27
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:31.280
<v Speaker 2>Jack Flerty had a no hitter through the first four

28
00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:34.200
<v Speaker 2>innings of this game. Tonight, a leadoff single in the

29
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:37.959
<v Speaker 2>fifth inning by Jesse Winker. The dh was the first

30
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:41.719
<v Speaker 2>hit the Mets had, and basically the fifth inning was

31
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:47.040
<v Speaker 2>the only sort of offense the Mets even materialized, and

32
00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:50.680
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't much of anything. After Jesse Winkers singled the

33
00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:55.000
<v Speaker 2>right field, Jose and Glacias singled Winker to second base,

34
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:59.200
<v Speaker 2>but Winker was going first to third and for whatever reason,

35
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:03.680
<v Speaker 2>stop between second and third and Keik A Hernandez heads

36
00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:07.599
<v Speaker 2>up high baseball, IQ through to second base to keep

37
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:11.759
<v Speaker 2>the double play in order and through behind Winker, who

38
00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:15.800
<v Speaker 2>for whatever reason stopped. The Dodgers were able to get

39
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:18.479
<v Speaker 2>Winker out, and all of a sudden it was one

40
00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:21.080
<v Speaker 2>out with a man at first base instead of first

41
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:25.240
<v Speaker 2>and third and nobody out, and from there Taylor flied

42
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:27.840
<v Speaker 2>out to right and Alvarez lined out to center. That

43
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:30.879
<v Speaker 2>was it. That was the Mets offense, and it wasn't

44
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:35.120
<v Speaker 2>much of anything. The Dodgers, now, with Jack Flaherty pitching

45
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:39.199
<v Speaker 2>seven scoreless innings, Daniel Hudson and Ben Casparius closing it

46
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:43.759
<v Speaker 2>out with zeros, have pitched thirty three consecutive scoreless innings

47
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:49.680
<v Speaker 2>using twelve different pitchers. In contrast, the nineteen sixty six

48
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:53.759
<v Speaker 2>Orioles in the World Series that year sweeping the Dodgers

49
00:02:54.240 --> 00:03:00.120
<v Speaker 2>used only four different pitchers to pitch thirty three consecutive

50
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:04.000
<v Speaker 2>scoreless innings. The Dodgers are doing it with a pitching staff.

51
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:06.439
<v Speaker 2>It's a lot different than what it used to be.

52
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:09.759
<v Speaker 2>And like I mentioned during the Clubhouse Show, the last

53
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:12.919
<v Speaker 2>time any team had a pitch or throw a complete

54
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:16.360
<v Speaker 2>game in the postseason was all the way back in

55
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:21.000
<v Speaker 2>twenty seventeen when Justin Verlander pitched a complete game for

56
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:24.759
<v Speaker 2>the Astros in Game two of the ALCS. So it's

57
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:28.560
<v Speaker 2>not just the Dodgers. Everybody just wants to focus on

58
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:32.759
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers because they are on this stage more than others.

59
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:36.680
<v Speaker 2>This is the way most teams are doing business these days,

60
00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:40.719
<v Speaker 2>and there's only a handful of starters that probably could

61
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:44.280
<v Speaker 2>pitch a shutout or a complete game. At the very least.

62
00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:47.680
<v Speaker 2>Jack Flaherty probably could have. He probably could have gone

63
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:52.000
<v Speaker 2>nine innings tonight, but seventh scoreless was more than enough.

64
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:55.039
<v Speaker 2>Did the job. And not only did Flerity do his

65
00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:58.159
<v Speaker 2>job in a big way. Not only did the Dodgers win,

66
00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:01.919
<v Speaker 2>but with the offense score nine runs and Flaherty pitching

67
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:05.560
<v Speaker 2>seven scoreless innings, it allows the Dodgers to go with

68
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:09.039
<v Speaker 2>a bullpen game tomorrow. They were going to have to

69
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:12.479
<v Speaker 2>pitch at least one bullpen game in this series, and

70
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:15.080
<v Speaker 2>they were hoping they would get what they got tonight

71
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:18.920
<v Speaker 2>to be able to pitch a bullpen game tomorrow, a

72
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:23.199
<v Speaker 2>day game going up against Sean Manaiah Walker Buehler. Game

73
00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:27.040
<v Speaker 2>three at City Field eight six six nine, eight seven

74
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:31.240
<v Speaker 2>two five seventy is the phone number. Let's head downstairs

75
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:34.079
<v Speaker 2>to Mookie Betts, who all of a sudden now is

76
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:38.680
<v Speaker 2>not getting criticism for not being a postseason player anymore.

77
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:40.480
<v Speaker 3>I mean, at the end of the day, if you

78
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:42.519
<v Speaker 3>want to win win a row series, you'll figure out

79
00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:45.240
<v Speaker 3>how to do it, and we all, everyone in here

80
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:48.600
<v Speaker 3>wants to win, and so uh, honestly, I don't think

81
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:51.959
<v Speaker 3>it's that hard. Maybe, you know, your energy may be

82
00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:53.839
<v Speaker 3>down a little bit, but then then I mean, if

83
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:54.959
<v Speaker 3>you want to win a Row Series, you got to

84
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:57.920
<v Speaker 3>figure out a way to get it up. So you know,

85
00:04:58.079 --> 00:04:59.319
<v Speaker 3>it wasn't really that tough.

86
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:01.879
<v Speaker 4>We're just trying rejected for just with his performance on

87
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:03.720
<v Speaker 4>the mound and what he did for this team today.

88
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:07.680
<v Speaker 3>I mean, he definitely I think that's where our energy started.

89
00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:12.040
<v Speaker 3>You know, he came out Scolers first. That was huge.

90
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:14.319
<v Speaker 3>We were able to strike first, and then he was

91
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:16.519
<v Speaker 3>able to give us a shutdown any right after that.

92
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:20.120
<v Speaker 3>So I think our energy all started with left with

93
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:23.959
<v Speaker 3>Jack and I mean, he know everybody saw what else

94
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:25.920
<v Speaker 3>what he did after that, But I know that those

95
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:30.399
<v Speaker 3>first two innings were really when the energy started.

96
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:31.680
<v Speaker 4>I know you kind of hit on it, but just

97
00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:34.120
<v Speaker 4>how important was it to come into this series not

98
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:36.839
<v Speaker 4>taking your foot off the gas, especially just considering you know,

99
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:39.519
<v Speaker 4>of a talk with Max looking back to twenty twenty

100
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:43.680
<v Speaker 4>one and leaving the emotions of the NLDS going into

101
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:45.879
<v Speaker 4>the CS against Atlanta, Just how do you guys, how

102
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:48.399
<v Speaker 4>did you think you'll manage that a little bit differently

103
00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:48.800
<v Speaker 4>this year?

104
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:53.000
<v Speaker 3>I think we just stayed on that high, you know.

105
00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:55.360
<v Speaker 3>I think we didn't try and reset, you know, I

106
00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:59.199
<v Speaker 3>think we were We're like, no, we just want would

107
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:02.240
<v Speaker 3>be a really really good ball club. We know another

108
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:04.959
<v Speaker 3>the ball club is coming in and so we have

109
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:05.480
<v Speaker 3>to stay there.

110
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:06.199
<v Speaker 5>We have to stay that.

111
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:08.839
<v Speaker 3>We can't go down and then try and recreate it,

112
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:11.759
<v Speaker 3>you know, we have to stay, stay up. And like

113
00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:14.959
<v Speaker 3>I said, Jack really really gave it to us today.

114
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:17.360
<v Speaker 1>Every year is different, and obviously this team is different

115
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:18.160
<v Speaker 1>than the one in twenty one.

116
00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:19.680
<v Speaker 6>But how much did you guys learn from kind of

117
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:22.879
<v Speaker 6>that experience of going to Atlanta after after that five

118
00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:24.600
<v Speaker 6>years set against the Giants?

119
00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:26.399
<v Speaker 2>Stay year, we learned a lot.

120
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:26.639
<v Speaker 7>You know.

121
00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:29.959
<v Speaker 3>We beat a really good team then and then obviously

122
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:34.000
<v Speaker 3>played a really good team after that and lost. Thinking

123
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:37.360
<v Speaker 3>that we can reset and then get back into the flow,

124
00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:39.399
<v Speaker 3>but it doesn't really work that way, you know. And

125
00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:41.680
<v Speaker 3>I think it was a great learning experience for all

126
00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:46.000
<v Speaker 3>of us, especially myself, and so we're able to take

127
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:49.759
<v Speaker 3>that and apply it to today and we are we

128
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:50.360
<v Speaker 3>come out to.

129
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:53.759
<v Speaker 2>Win, all right, there's Mookie Betts after the Dodgers shut

130
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:56.680
<v Speaker 2>out the Mets nine to nothing in Game one of

131
00:06:56.759 --> 00:07:01.399
<v Speaker 2>the NLCS eight six six, seven two five seventy is

132
00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:04.000
<v Speaker 2>the phone number coming up. Later in the show, you'll

133
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:07.639
<v Speaker 2>hear from Freddie Freeman and Tommy Edmond, who played a

134
00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:10.560
<v Speaker 2>big part in this game as well. Let's go out

135
00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:14.439
<v Speaker 2>to Whittier. Tony, You're on Dodger Talk Live from Dodgers Stadium.

136
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:16.839
<v Speaker 8>Hi, Tony, Hey, what's up.

137
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:18.759
<v Speaker 9>Thanks for taking my call. I just want to make

138
00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:22.480
<v Speaker 9>a quick observation. I feel that the Dodgers are getting

139
00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:25.759
<v Speaker 9>hot at the perfect time. In past Pool seasons, we

140
00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:29.600
<v Speaker 9>seen teams come in they just write lightning to the

141
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:32.680
<v Speaker 9>World Series. But I think the Dodgers are writing that

142
00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:34.120
<v Speaker 9>right now. Everything's clicking.

143
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:35.279
<v Speaker 10>I don't know.

144
00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:36.759
<v Speaker 9>I just have a good feeling about this team.

145
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:41.000
<v Speaker 2>Would you agree that feeling? Was it thirty three consecutive

146
00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:44.720
<v Speaker 2>scoreless innings, their pitchers are throwing. I think you're right, Tony,

147
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:48.839
<v Speaker 2>and I know what you're saying. Usually the Dodgers in

148
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:53.240
<v Speaker 2>recent history are facing the hot team. Well, it feels

149
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:56.319
<v Speaker 2>like the Dodgers are that hot team and peaking at

150
00:07:56.360 --> 00:07:58.720
<v Speaker 2>the right time. Thanks for the phone call. And a

151
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:02.040
<v Speaker 2>big reason why is they're playing for each other. We

152
00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:05.639
<v Speaker 2>saw that. I feel like talking to people around the Dodgers,

153
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:09.519
<v Speaker 2>they told me that NLDS series turned in a loss

154
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:13.199
<v Speaker 2>when they were losing in Game three. Walker Bueller giving

155
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:16.399
<v Speaker 2>up six runs in that second inning comes back to

156
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:20.839
<v Speaker 2>the dugout, throws the cooler of bubblegum and lets everybody

157
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:24.480
<v Speaker 2>know that was not acceptable. I'm holding myself accountable and

158
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:28.519
<v Speaker 2>holding you accountable. And then Taoscar Hernandez with the Grand Slam.

159
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:31.639
<v Speaker 2>People around the Dodgers believe that was the turning point,

160
00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:35.159
<v Speaker 2>and the Dodgers have started to play for each other tonight.

161
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:38.000
<v Speaker 2>You know we get calls about small ball, Well, the

162
00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers played small ball tonight. Gavin Lux and Tommy Edmund

163
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:46.919
<v Speaker 2>each laid down sacrifice bunts to put runners in scoring position,

164
00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:50.440
<v Speaker 2>and they got key base hits from the big boys,

165
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:55.559
<v Speaker 2>Freddie mooki Otani Munci. But they are playing for each other,

166
00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:58.879
<v Speaker 2>key a Hernandez getting base hits, not having big swings.

167
00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:01.519
<v Speaker 2>Here was Tommy Edmund after the game when I caught

168
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:03.879
<v Speaker 2>up with him. Tommy Edmund, you had a big part

169
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:06.320
<v Speaker 2>in this. It felt like you guys played a complete

170
00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:06.919
<v Speaker 2>game tonight.

171
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:09.159
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it was an awesome game. You know. Obviously Jacks

172
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:11.519
<v Speaker 6>did a great job of throwing seven. Shout out at thanks,

173
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:14.240
<v Speaker 6>keeping the street going, and our offense came out banging

174
00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:15.840
<v Speaker 6>and we just did a good job in all fastest of.

175
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:19.080
<v Speaker 2>The game, thirty three consecutive scoreless innings. Now for your

176
00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:22.480
<v Speaker 2>pitching staff, what does that say about everybody top to bottom?

177
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:24.399
<v Speaker 6>Man, they've been locked in. You know, it's too good

178
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:27.159
<v Speaker 6>offense we've gone up against too, so to do that

179
00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:29.440
<v Speaker 6>it against anybody is impressive, and against these guys even

180
00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:29.720
<v Speaker 6>more so.

181
00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:32.919
<v Speaker 2>Tommy. I know the Dodgers have the identity of slugging,

182
00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:36.120
<v Speaker 2>but man, you and Gavin Lux really returned the favor

183
00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:38.600
<v Speaker 2>of advancing the runner. How important is that going to

184
00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:39.440
<v Speaker 2>be for you guys?

185
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:41.440
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, playing a little small ball. You know, we've both

186
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:43.919
<v Speaker 6>got some buns down and you know both times it's

187
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:46.480
<v Speaker 6>set up an RBI single, So you know, didn't just

188
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:48.919
<v Speaker 6>rely on the homer today and still put up nine runs.

189
00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:51.960
<v Speaker 2>Tommy, love watching you play baseball, not only what you

190
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:54.440
<v Speaker 2>do physically, but you're always thinking the game. Thank you

191
00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:55.039
<v Speaker 2>for stopping.

192
00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:56.320
<v Speaker 11>Thank you, I appreciate it.

193
00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:00.200
<v Speaker 2>Tommy. Edmund had the uniform dirty and really it as

194
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:03.840
<v Speaker 2>a really smart baseball player. And like he said, the

195
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:07.639
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers put up nine runs tonight without hitting a home run.

196
00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:11.320
<v Speaker 2>During the NLDS that five game series, the Dodgers hit

197
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:15.519
<v Speaker 2>sixteen home runs to score twenty four runs. Let's go

198
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:19.240
<v Speaker 2>back out to the phones. Mark was at Dodgers Stadium tonight. Hi, Mark,

199
00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:22.360
<v Speaker 2>you're on Dodger Talk hither day.

200
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:25.080
<v Speaker 12>If yes, it was a great game, and I hope

201
00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:27.759
<v Speaker 12>it sets the tone for the rest of the games

202
00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:31.279
<v Speaker 12>of the series. So my question has to do with

203
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:35.519
<v Speaker 12>Ben Kispirius. I was very happy to see Roberts give

204
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:37.879
<v Speaker 12>him a chance to pitch in the ninth inning. I

205
00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:40.440
<v Speaker 12>have seen him one other game a few weeks ago.

206
00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:43.320
<v Speaker 12>I was very impressed with him. I know he's very young.

207
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:45.840
<v Speaker 12>He was lights out in that game. He was very

208
00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:50.720
<v Speaker 12>mature in the interview afterwards, and I was wondering going forward,

209
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:53.440
<v Speaker 12>do you see a place for him with the Dodgers,

210
00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:55.879
<v Speaker 12>And if so, what do you think he can contribute?

211
00:10:55.919 --> 00:10:57.639
<v Speaker 12>You think they'll hold on to him.

212
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:01.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I do. And Ben Caspira's as that edge and

213
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:04.039
<v Speaker 2>that nastiness that the rest of those relievers have, and

214
00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:06.960
<v Speaker 2>the Dodger bullpen. I think he's going to get more

215
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:11.200
<v Speaker 2>opportunities in this postseason. That was low leverage nine to nothing,

216
00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:14.840
<v Speaker 2>but he serves the purpose and look if the Dodgers

217
00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:17.679
<v Speaker 2>need him again in this series. I don't think Dave

218
00:11:17.759 --> 00:11:20.360
<v Speaker 2>Roberts is going to shy away from him. He's going

219
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:22.840
<v Speaker 2>to be part of this pitching staff, whether it's as

220
00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:26.240
<v Speaker 2>a starter or a reliever moving forward. He's got it.

221
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:30.000
<v Speaker 2>He's not intimidated and certainly has great mound presence. Eight

222
00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:33.320
<v Speaker 2>six six nine, eight seven, two five seventy is the

223
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:36.639
<v Speaker 2>phone number. Let's go out to Oscar in Baldwin Park.

224
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:38.639
<v Speaker 2>You're on Dodger Talk. Hi, Oscar.

225
00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:41.320
<v Speaker 7>That's say how you doing brother?

226
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:42.000
<v Speaker 10>Hey man?

227
00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:43.879
<v Speaker 7>This is the This is the best I've seen him

228
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:45.840
<v Speaker 7>in the stretch, had been in the past twelve years

229
00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:48.159
<v Speaker 7>with with the fretch, HA been making the playoffs and stuff.

230
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:50.519
<v Speaker 7>This is the best team. This is definitely the best.

231
00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:52.799
<v Speaker 7>He just they got. They got a lot of emotion

232
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:54.720
<v Speaker 7>in the man. I think it's like we said all

233
00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:57.559
<v Speaker 7>year with the stretch, with tany and stuff, and so

234
00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:00.000
<v Speaker 7>the first college said, I feel good about this team.

235
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:03.159
<v Speaker 7>The one thing about the scoreless innings, man, I think

236
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:05.519
<v Speaker 7>it's more impressive in this day and age, and it

237
00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:07.840
<v Speaker 7>was back then with all the long ball down and

238
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:10.200
<v Speaker 7>everything like that. But then the whole teams like this

239
00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:11.799
<v Speaker 7>cord Us in the playoffs in this day and age,

240
00:12:12.039 --> 00:12:14.840
<v Speaker 7>that's impressive, man. So you know what, one last team, man,

241
00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:17.559
<v Speaker 7>I want to see a Dodger Yankee World Series. The

242
00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:20.039
<v Speaker 7>last I hadn't seen one of my last and the

243
00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:21.759
<v Speaker 7>last thing to say, eighty one was a year before

244
00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:24.039
<v Speaker 7>I was born. I want to see it, man, I

245
00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:24.639
<v Speaker 7>want to see it.

246
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:26.679
<v Speaker 2>Hey, there's a good chance it's going to happen, Oscar.

247
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:28.720
<v Speaker 2>I feel like the Dodgers are going to hold up

248
00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:31.279
<v Speaker 2>their end of the bargain. And like I said, during

249
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:34.879
<v Speaker 2>the NLDS, a lot of fans seem to worry about

250
00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:37.639
<v Speaker 2>more about what the other team can do instead of

251
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:41.240
<v Speaker 2>realizing how good the Dodgers are. The Dodgers are a

252
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:45.120
<v Speaker 2>really good team, and the Mets are riding this magic wave.

253
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:49.000
<v Speaker 2>Actually since the Dodgers swept them in New York all

254
00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:52.440
<v Speaker 2>the way back in May. They swept a doubleheader and

255
00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:54.919
<v Speaker 2>won the first game of that series. And after that,

256
00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:58.799
<v Speaker 2>Francisco Lindor and JD. Martinez held a team meeting to

257
00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:02.120
<v Speaker 2>just get everybody relaxed, and from there they went on

258
00:13:02.159 --> 00:13:05.799
<v Speaker 2>to win eighty nine games this season, but they just

259
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:09.120
<v Speaker 2>don't have enough to beat the Dodgers. The Dodgers are

260
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:13.399
<v Speaker 2>better top to bottom, and they're playing really well. They're

261
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:16.759
<v Speaker 2>playing for each other, as was evident tonight. Eight six

262
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:19.879
<v Speaker 2>six nine eighty seven two five seventy is the phone number.

263
00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:23.879
<v Speaker 2>In fact, I can't remember a Dodger team that was

264
00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:27.360
<v Speaker 2>playing for each other as much as this team is.

265
00:13:27.480 --> 00:13:31.960
<v Speaker 2>Since twenty seventeen. I wasn't around the team in the clubhouse,

266
00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:34.919
<v Speaker 2>around them on an everyday basis. In twenty I was

267
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:37.559
<v Speaker 2>relegated to the press box for every game, and when

268
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:39.919
<v Speaker 2>we were in the bubble, I was in my own bubble.

269
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:42.960
<v Speaker 2>I was in a broadcast booth for that entire three

270
00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:45.879
<v Speaker 2>and a half weeks while the players were downstairs. My

271
00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:50.440
<v Speaker 2>only communication with them was over text, phone calls, zoom

272
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:54.320
<v Speaker 2>and interviews from the clubhouse to where I was. So

273
00:13:55.080 --> 00:13:58.120
<v Speaker 2>they were really tight because they had to be. They

274
00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:03.639
<v Speaker 2>were together twenty four But in these type of normal circumstances,

275
00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:07.440
<v Speaker 2>this is the first team I have seen since twenty

276
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:12.080
<v Speaker 2>seventeen playing for each other and quite honestly doing the

277
00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:15.600
<v Speaker 2>unselfish team at bats that we saw tonight to set

278
00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:18.600
<v Speaker 2>up nine runs without hitting a home run. Let's go

279
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:21.919
<v Speaker 2>out to Brayden, who is at Dodger Stadium tonight. Hi, Braiden,

280
00:14:21.919 --> 00:14:22.919
<v Speaker 2>you're on Dodger Talk.

281
00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:27.000
<v Speaker 5>Hey man, Hey, I just wanted to say Jack Clarity,

282
00:14:27.080 --> 00:14:30.000
<v Speaker 5>he's a dog. He went out there. He is it

283
00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:32.840
<v Speaker 5>all night. He went out and shoved it all night.

284
00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:34.840
<v Speaker 5>And you know I wouldn't. I wouldn't go and say

285
00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:37.120
<v Speaker 5>the Mets don't have enough to beat us. I mean,

286
00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:37.919
<v Speaker 5>but hey, I'm.

287
00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:39.039
<v Speaker 2>Gonna they don't have a crow.

288
00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:40.080
<v Speaker 7>But you don't.

289
00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:42.159
<v Speaker 5>You don't want to be too cocky. You want to

290
00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:42.919
<v Speaker 5>just they could.

291
00:14:42.759 --> 00:14:44.879
<v Speaker 2>Be as cocky as I want. I'm not playing.

292

<v Speaker 5>I just want to say they they went out there

294
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:53.679
<v Speaker 5>and proved it tonight. They did everything right the right way.

295
00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:57.720
<v Speaker 5>Clarity went out there and set up the bullpen for tomorrow.

296
00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:00.840
<v Speaker 5>He set up the rotation for the red the series,

297
00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:04.519
<v Speaker 5>and hey, let's go. Let's keep it going. Let's keep

298
00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:06.200
<v Speaker 5>it going all the way through the rest of the series.

299
00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:06.679
<v Speaker 5>Thanks Dave.

300
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:09.240
<v Speaker 2>All Right, Braden, thank you for the phone call. Look,

301
00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:11.440
<v Speaker 2>if you go back to the NLDS. When you were

302
00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:14.720
<v Speaker 2>listening to this show, I told you whoever won Game

303
00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:17.639
<v Speaker 2>one had a really good chance of winning the series.

304
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:21.399
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers won Game five. I predicted a five game

305
00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:24.919
<v Speaker 2>NLDS with a Dodger win. I'm saying the same thing here,

306
00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:28.519
<v Speaker 2>a five game series win for the Dodgers over the Mets.

307
00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:32.000
<v Speaker 2>I believe the Dodgers may lose a game in New York.

308
00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:35.120
<v Speaker 2>Remember the format is two, three to two. But I

309
00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:38.240
<v Speaker 2>just don't see the Mets having enough to be able

310
00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:41.159
<v Speaker 2>to beat the Dodgers, especially when you're getting a start

311
00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:44.720
<v Speaker 2>like that from Jack Flaherty. Nine to nothing, shut out

312
00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:48.240
<v Speaker 2>win for the Dodgers over the Mets. Freddie Freeman again

313
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:52.559
<v Speaker 2>going out there, not only being out there, but actually

314
00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:56.080
<v Speaker 2>being an impact player. He was with Kirsten Watson on

315
00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:57.000
<v Speaker 2>Sports and at LA.

316
00:15:57.440 --> 00:15:59.000
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, I mean I thought we did a great job.

317
00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:02.279
<v Speaker 11>I mean, we got great day yesterday here. You know,

318
00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:04.279
<v Speaker 11>we were about the intensity early on, even in our

319
00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:08.039
<v Speaker 11>hitters meetings, we were pretty intense. So I thought we

320
00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:10.799
<v Speaker 11>just came out with a great attitude. And obviously Jack,

321
00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:13.799
<v Speaker 11>I mean, it's all Jack tonight. So glad we get

322
00:16:13.879 --> 00:16:15.320
<v Speaker 11>some runs and let him go deep in the game.

323
00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:16.799
<v Speaker 4>You like at just what he's able to do. What

324
00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:18.440
<v Speaker 4>kind of made you see that you know he had

325
00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:18.799
<v Speaker 4>it going.

326
00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:21.799
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, I mean just a fast hid curiots the bottom

327
00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:23.120
<v Speaker 11>of the zone and then you can throw the slider

328
00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:25.200
<v Speaker 11>off of it. As a hitter, when you when you

329
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:28.200
<v Speaker 11>can tunnel pitches off like that, it's very hard to hit.

330
00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:30.679
<v Speaker 11>And you can just tell Jack had it going from

331
00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:33.759
<v Speaker 11>the from the first inning and we needed that especially

332
00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:35.960
<v Speaker 11>going into tomorrow. So things are things are looking good

333
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:37.000
<v Speaker 11>at the start, Brady.

334
00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:39.440
<v Speaker 2>How about you guys scoring runs in three of the

335
00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:41.399
<v Speaker 2>first four innings and not hitting any home runs.

336
00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:44.000
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, that's good. It's very hard to do in the

337
00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:46.679
<v Speaker 11>postings and you're facing the best pictures in the game,

338
00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:51.720
<v Speaker 11>so to score runs multiple runs, Uh, made a good approach.

339
00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:54.799
<v Speaker 11>We walked a lot, capitalized in some mistakes, and I

340
00:16:54.799 --> 00:16:56.840
<v Speaker 11>thought we did a good job overall as a whole,

341
00:16:56.840 --> 00:16:57.519
<v Speaker 11>as a group.

342
00:16:57.559 --> 00:16:59.720
<v Speaker 13>As a local value yourself, Howey you relate to see

343
00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:01.480
<v Speaker 13>him help here form able to do this in front

344
00:17:01.480 --> 00:17:03.120
<v Speaker 13>of the home plays and phone.

345
00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:06.480
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, I mean he's been pitching Dodger Jallimes since he

346
00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:09.799
<v Speaker 11>was in high school, so it's not nothing new to him.

347
00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:11.799
<v Speaker 11>If you know Jack at all, He's got a nice

348
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:14.519
<v Speaker 11>demeanor about him. Nothing seems too big for him. With

349
00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:16.200
<v Speaker 11>his mom in the stands, I think he wanted to

350
00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:18.440
<v Speaker 11>go out there and do great. So overall, great day

351
00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:19.000
<v Speaker 11>for the plarities.

352
00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:19.799
<v Speaker 14>Pready, the more you.

353
00:17:20.119 --> 00:17:22.680
<v Speaker 8>Play on my equal, like, is it getting easier just

354
00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:24.599
<v Speaker 8>to day here a game, knowing.

355
00:17:24.519 --> 00:17:25.960
<v Speaker 13>What to expect, how it's gonna do.

356
00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:31.319
<v Speaker 11>That's a tough an answer. I would say, when I

357
00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:32.880
<v Speaker 11>wake up, I know if I'm gonna be able to

358
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:36.079
<v Speaker 11>make it through. Now, we've got a good plan. We've

359
00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:38.279
<v Speaker 11>got a tight window tomorrow. I mean, it takes me

360
00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:41.880
<v Speaker 11>about four and a half hours to get ready for

361
00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:45.400
<v Speaker 11>a game, so me and Bernard Lee might be sleeping

362
00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:49.240
<v Speaker 11>here tonight, but we I mean, I'm getting used to it.

363
00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:51.200
<v Speaker 11>I know what to expect day in and day out,

364
00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:54.160
<v Speaker 11>and I mean, it's obviously not going to get better,

365
00:17:54.599 --> 00:17:56.039
<v Speaker 11>but I think we're at a good point where it's

366
00:17:56.079 --> 00:17:58.920
<v Speaker 11>not gonna get worse unless I roll it again. But

367
00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:01.319
<v Speaker 11>that's why I'm bating on the outside to keep it

368
00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:04.279
<v Speaker 11>from because hitting bases, you just never know if it's

369
00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:05.960
<v Speaker 11>going to roll. So that's why we're spatting right now.

370
00:18:05.960 --> 00:18:08.000
<v Speaker 11>But We're in a good spot where it's not getting

371
00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:10.480
<v Speaker 11>worse when I'm playing on it, but it's obviously not

372
00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:11.400
<v Speaker 11>getting better at either.

373
00:18:12.359 --> 00:18:15.480
<v Speaker 2>All Right, there's Freddy Freeman on sports Net LA and

374
00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:18.119
<v Speaker 2>I loved in the first inning when Mookie Bets and

375
00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:22.519
<v Speaker 2>Freddie Freeman scored on month Sea's two out single. Mooki

376
00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:25.839
<v Speaker 2>scored first, and he was there to catch Freddy Freeman,

377
00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:30.200
<v Speaker 2>who was hustling digging around third base. Scored standing up,

378
00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:33.319
<v Speaker 2>but with a bad right ankle, it's really hard to

379
00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:36.440
<v Speaker 2>put on the brakes, even when after you've scored, so

380
00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:40.799
<v Speaker 2>Mooki was there to catch and hold up Freddy Freeman

381
00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:44.400
<v Speaker 2>after he scored. That was I think that image is

382
00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:48.640
<v Speaker 2>going to be shown a lot when history reflects on this.

383
00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:52.799
<v Speaker 2>NLCS eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy

384
00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:56.000
<v Speaker 2>is the phone number. Dodgers shut out the Mets nine

385
00:18:56.039 --> 00:18:59.440
<v Speaker 2>to nothing without hitting a home run. Let's go wat

386
00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:02.920
<v Speaker 2>to Hosey. Who is that Dodger Stadium tonight? Hi, jose

387
00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:05.279
<v Speaker 2>you're on Dodger Talk.

388
00:19:05.319 --> 00:19:08.640
<v Speaker 14>Hey Dave, nice to hear from you, but I just

389
00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:11.160
<v Speaker 14>wanted to piggyback on what you have been saying. The

390
00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:15.039
<v Speaker 14>Dodgers are playing such cohesive, unselfish baseball, and it's so

391
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:18.400
<v Speaker 14>refreshing to see after all these NLDS exits that we've

392
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:21.319
<v Speaker 14>been faced with. But I also want to give a

393
00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:23.519
<v Speaker 14>really big shout out to Dave Roberts. I feel like

394
00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:26.319
<v Speaker 14>he is such a big part of that confidence and

395
00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:29.039
<v Speaker 14>how he instills that in the guys, and you know,

396
00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:31.480
<v Speaker 14>like how he managed that bullpen game in Game four,

397
00:19:31.839 --> 00:19:35.839
<v Speaker 14>and you know, really trusting him for tomorrow. I'm wondering

398
00:19:36.039 --> 00:19:39.039
<v Speaker 14>if you know those high leverage arms are going to

399
00:19:39.079 --> 00:19:42.240
<v Speaker 14>come in and pitch, you know, according to the hitters,

400
00:19:42.440 --> 00:19:45.559
<v Speaker 14>or kind of let the offense dictate how long of

401
00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:48.759
<v Speaker 14>a leash. You know, each bullpen guy has.

402
00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:52.319
<v Speaker 2>No when it's a bullpen game, Jose, they each have

403
00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:55.839
<v Speaker 2>groupings of hitters that the Dodgers kind of map out

404
00:19:55.960 --> 00:19:58.960
<v Speaker 2>before the game. What really, I mean, I've said this

405
00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:03.160
<v Speaker 2>a lot today and since Game four, I have never

406
00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:07.319
<v Speaker 2>seen a bullpen game go as perfect as it did

407
00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:11.319
<v Speaker 2>for the Dodgers in Game four. Not only did every

408
00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:13.839
<v Speaker 2>pitcher put up a zero, they used eight different pitchers

409
00:20:13.839 --> 00:20:16.920
<v Speaker 2>in that bullpen game, but the Dodgers got an early

410
00:20:17.079 --> 00:20:20.640
<v Speaker 2>five nothing lead. It makes it so much easier to

411
00:20:20.720 --> 00:20:24.000
<v Speaker 2>be able to execute that when you have a five

412
00:20:24.039 --> 00:20:26.839
<v Speaker 2>to nothing lead, and I don't know if they're going

413
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:29.559
<v Speaker 2>to be able to be perfect again. But it's hard

414
00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:34.960
<v Speaker 2>to doubt those relievers back there. But you know, it's

415
00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:37.799
<v Speaker 2>I would find it very hard to believe that it's

416
00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:40.440
<v Speaker 2>going to go as perfect as it did in Game four.

417
00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:43.039
<v Speaker 2>That's the epitome of a bullpen game.

418
00:20:44.279 --> 00:20:46.880
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, you know, and Dave Roberts, I trust.

419
00:20:47.079 --> 00:20:49.759
<v Speaker 2>All right, and Andrew Freeman. Andrew Freeman has a big

420
00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:52.400
<v Speaker 2>hand in the mapping out all that as well. He

421
00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:55.400
<v Speaker 2>Dave Roberts has to execute it in real time.

422
00:20:56.359 --> 00:20:57.960
<v Speaker 15>Yeah, make out to both of them.

423
00:20:57.960 --> 00:21:00.839
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Dave, all right, Jose, thank you. Eight six

424
00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:04.240
<v Speaker 2>six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number.

425
00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:08.160
<v Speaker 2>Let's keep it rolling. Javier, was that Dodgers Stadium tonight?

426
00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:10.160
<v Speaker 2>Hi Javier, Hi.

427
00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:11.920
<v Speaker 10>David, thank you so much for taking my call. Man,

428
00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:13.759
<v Speaker 10>you're the best. Just want to say, don't want to

429
00:21:13.759 --> 00:21:15.599
<v Speaker 10>get too cocky, but like you said, we can't because

430
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:19.039
<v Speaker 10>we're not playing. We're gonna sweep. So get your brooms ready,

431
00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:23.400
<v Speaker 10>go to home depot by two. The Meds look week, Grimace.

432
00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:26.200
<v Speaker 10>I don't know what happened to the McDonald's eating cheeseburgers.

433
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:33.200
<v Speaker 10>Who cares. That's there we go. We got petrols, a

434
00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:36.200
<v Speaker 10>money baby, that's right, we got David No, but all Seriously,

435
00:21:36.519 --> 00:21:38.680
<v Speaker 10>I like how the Dodgers are playing that small ball.

436
00:21:38.720 --> 00:21:40.960
<v Speaker 10>I took my youngest art to the game. I said, look,

437
00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:43.000
<v Speaker 10>that's a butunt. That's how you move runners in scoring

438
00:21:43.039 --> 00:21:46.279
<v Speaker 10>position back in my day. So the Dodgers looking great

439
00:21:46.359 --> 00:21:49.079
<v Speaker 10>playing that small ball. Love it looking like eighty eight.

440
00:21:49.319 --> 00:21:52.599
<v Speaker 10>We're gonna sweep. Bring on the Yankees, bring on Cleveland,

441
00:21:53.240 --> 00:21:56.480
<v Speaker 10>the Indians, the Guardians, whatever they're called. Let's do it.

442
00:21:56.559 --> 00:21:59.079
<v Speaker 2>David, all right, Javier, I love it. I love it.

443
00:21:59.119 --> 00:22:02.000
<v Speaker 2>There's a guy that understands the Dodgers have a really

444
00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:05.960
<v Speaker 2>good team and they're playing their best baseball of the season.

445
00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:09.680
<v Speaker 2>And remember, coming into the postseason, so many doubters. He

446
00:22:09.720 --> 00:22:12.839
<v Speaker 2>can't do it with just Flarity and Bueler and kind

447
00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:16.599
<v Speaker 2>of Yamamoto. Well, the Dodgers are doing it, and their

448
00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:21.319
<v Speaker 2>offense is making it really I shouldn't say easy, but

449
00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:25.119
<v Speaker 2>it's really helping out the Dodgers game plan for their

450
00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:28.079
<v Speaker 2>pitching and to get a start like tonight from Jack

451
00:22:28.119 --> 00:22:31.680
<v Speaker 2>Flaherty seven scoreless, innings. I mean, you couldn't ask for

452
00:22:31.720 --> 00:22:34.640
<v Speaker 2>anything more. And I love seeing Jack going over to

453
00:22:34.680 --> 00:22:37.160
<v Speaker 2>see his mom after we spoke. I mean that was

454
00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:40.240
<v Speaker 2>a special moment as well, because she was sitting at

455
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:44.119
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers Stadium when Jack flarerity led Harvard Westlake to their

456
00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:47.680
<v Speaker 2>high school championship. And here he is. That was twenty thirteen.

457
00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:50.680
<v Speaker 2>He was here at Dodgers Stadium pitching Harvard Westlake to

458
00:22:50.720 --> 00:22:54.160
<v Speaker 2>the championship. And here he was tonight in twenty twenty four,

459
00:22:54.640 --> 00:22:57.559
<v Speaker 2>pitching the Dodgers to a nine to nothing game one

460
00:22:57.920 --> 00:23:03.400
<v Speaker 2>NLCS win two five seventy. Let's go out to Mark

461
00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:06.039
<v Speaker 2>in Huntington Beach. You're on Dodger Talk.

462
00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:09.200
<v Speaker 10>Hi Mark, Hi David again.

463
00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:12.559
<v Speaker 16>And you know, for once, I can tell anyone and

464
00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:16.799
<v Speaker 16>everyone how all the so called experts and talking heads

465
00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:19.279
<v Speaker 16>have said all the Dodgers don't have a rotation. They're

466
00:23:19.319 --> 00:23:21.279
<v Speaker 16>not gonna even make it past San Diego.

467
00:23:21.319 --> 00:23:24.480
<v Speaker 17>They're not even gonna have a bulletin that can hold

468
00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:28.119
<v Speaker 17>up the batter's mookie's not gonna do anything again, not

469
00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:30.920
<v Speaker 17>especially those idiots on ESPN.

470
00:23:31.039 --> 00:23:34.400
<v Speaker 12>But anyway, what they don't realize is this Dodger.

471
00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:37.160
<v Speaker 17>Team has the heart of a champion, and tonight was

472
00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:39.400
<v Speaker 17>no less showing that they had a heart of a

473
00:23:39.440 --> 00:23:42.599
<v Speaker 17>champion tonight. They've had all series all year, and when

474
00:23:42.599 --> 00:23:44.319
<v Speaker 17>you have a heart of a champion, you not only

475
00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:47.319
<v Speaker 17>go to the World Series, you win the World Series.

476
00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:50.559
<v Speaker 2>I love that, Mark. I don't see anybody stopping the

477
00:23:50.599 --> 00:23:53.559
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers at this point, but there's still a lot of

478
00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:57.759
<v Speaker 2>nlcs left and I like the Dodgers' chances. Thanks for

479
00:23:57.799 --> 00:24:00.200
<v Speaker 2>the phone call, appreciate it. You know, when can he

480
00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:03.000
<v Speaker 2>talk about the heart of a champion? How about Freddie Freeman,

481
00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:05.680
<v Speaker 2>who he heard from earlier, not only out there at

482
00:24:05.759 --> 00:24:08.480
<v Speaker 2>first base, but he also drives in a run, scores

483
00:24:08.519 --> 00:24:11.240
<v Speaker 2>a run on a bad right ankle, and who knows

484
00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:14.279
<v Speaker 2>what else has added up the toll of you know,

485
00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:17.519
<v Speaker 2>just this time of year on Freddie and here he

486
00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:21.400
<v Speaker 2>is out there. I don't feel like it's a stretch

487
00:24:21.480 --> 00:24:24.920
<v Speaker 2>to say he is the most inspirational person in the

488
00:24:24.920 --> 00:24:29.000
<v Speaker 2>postseason right now for what he's doing, how he's going

489
00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:32.240
<v Speaker 2>out there and really sending a message to the rest

490
00:24:32.279 --> 00:24:35.519
<v Speaker 2>of this team that he believes they can win a

491
00:24:35.559 --> 00:24:38.839
<v Speaker 2>World Series. He wouldn't be out there if he didn't

492
00:24:38.880 --> 00:24:42.200
<v Speaker 2>believe they could win a World Series. Trust me. The

493
00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:45.279
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers scored nine runs tonight without a home run, but

494
00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:47.480
<v Speaker 2>we still got to give some love to our friends

495
00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:51.279
<v Speaker 2>at Daniels Jewelers. They are the official sponsor of the

496
00:24:51.279 --> 00:24:55.119
<v Speaker 2>Trip around the Diamond. Stop by any Daniel's location and

497
00:24:55.200 --> 00:24:58.759
<v Speaker 2>say home run for your free team bracelet and fifty

498
00:24:58.759 --> 00:25:02.079
<v Speaker 2>dollars gift card toward any purchase of ninety nine dollars

499
00:25:02.200 --> 00:25:06.599
<v Speaker 2>or more. Daniels Jewelers own the Dream. Eight six six nine,

500
00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:09.839
<v Speaker 2>eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. Freddy

501
00:25:09.920 --> 00:25:13.960
<v Speaker 2>Freeman is not only the is not the only question

502
00:25:14.160 --> 00:25:17.559
<v Speaker 2>mark for the Dodgers tomorrow. Gavin Lux may be a

503
00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:20.839
<v Speaker 2>question mark tomorrow as well. He had to leave this

504
00:25:20.960 --> 00:25:25.440
<v Speaker 2>game midway through with a hip flexer tightness. Key Key

505
00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:28.759
<v Speaker 2>Hernandez moved from center to second base at that point,

506
00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:31.039
<v Speaker 2>so we'll see whether or not Lux is in the

507
00:25:31.079 --> 00:25:34.240
<v Speaker 2>starting lineup. The Dodgers are going up against a lefty

508
00:25:34.400 --> 00:25:38.400
<v Speaker 2>and Sean Manaia, so if Lux can't go, you will

509
00:25:38.440 --> 00:25:42.759
<v Speaker 2>probably see Taylor in center, Kei k at second, or

510
00:25:42.920 --> 00:25:46.359
<v Speaker 2>a combin one combination of the either. So with a

511
00:25:46.440 --> 00:25:49.599
<v Speaker 2>lefty on the mound, it might not be a stretch

512
00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:52.759
<v Speaker 2>to believe that the Dodgers would give Lux a day

513
00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:57.720
<v Speaker 2>off tomorrow. They have a day off the day after tomorrow.

514
00:25:57.960 --> 00:26:00.240
<v Speaker 2>I forgot what day of the week. It is Tuesday.

515
00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:03.359
<v Speaker 2>They'll have a day off on Tuesday after tomorrow. So

516
00:26:03.640 --> 00:26:06.039
<v Speaker 2>with the lefty Shanmanaya on the mound, I could see

517
00:26:06.039 --> 00:26:10.319
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers starting Kik and Taylor and Lux getting that

518
00:26:10.440 --> 00:26:14.039
<v Speaker 2>hip flexer right. Eight six six, nine, seven two five

519
00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:17.200
<v Speaker 2>seventy is the phone number. Dodgers shut out the Mets

520
00:26:17.359 --> 00:26:21.359
<v Speaker 2>nine to nothing in Game one of the NLCS CODEI

521
00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:25.359
<v Speaker 2>singa only through ten strikes in an inning and a

522
00:26:25.400 --> 00:26:29.319
<v Speaker 2>third Tonight, let's go out to Hollywood. Eric, who is believing?

523
00:26:29.480 --> 00:26:31.200
<v Speaker 2>Now you're on Dodger.

524
00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:36.720
<v Speaker 18>Talk, Doctor day shut I don't know, Dave, but they

525
00:26:36.720 --> 00:26:40.079
<v Speaker 18>say we don't have any pitches for this postseason. Captain

526
00:26:40.160 --> 00:26:43.559
<v Speaker 18>Jack Flake killed it lived up to the moment. I

527
00:26:43.640 --> 00:26:45.680
<v Speaker 18>am glad he got to share that with his mom.

528
00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:47.759
<v Speaker 10>That was that was dope. That was cool.

529
00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:53.119
<v Speaker 18>Ke K love you, Poppy, love you, Tydy edmund ball today,

530
00:26:53.640 --> 00:26:58.519
<v Speaker 18>but anything small ball, I'll take it. Maxie, What's why

531
00:26:58.599 --> 00:27:01.680
<v Speaker 18>you fit that baby big in? At the first Indies,

532
00:27:02.440 --> 00:27:07.160
<v Speaker 18>every Dodger player is accepting their role at executing. Just

533
00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:10.759
<v Speaker 18>like Friedman and just like Doc have put them into

534
00:27:10.839 --> 00:27:15.640
<v Speaker 18>position to execute humid rally, Powell says, let's go.

535
00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:20.880
<v Speaker 2>Love it. Eric, thank you for the phone call. Eight

536
00:27:20.960 --> 00:27:23.839
<v Speaker 2>six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the

537
00:27:23.880 --> 00:27:27.319
<v Speaker 2>phone number. By the way, Key a Hernandez, with his

538
00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:30.839
<v Speaker 2>home run in Game five of the NLDS, gave him

539
00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:35.519
<v Speaker 2>fourteen career postseason home runs. He has more home runs

540
00:27:35.559 --> 00:27:39.920
<v Speaker 2>in the postseason than guy's name, Miguel Cabrera, Chipper Jones,

541
00:27:39.920 --> 00:27:43.759
<v Speaker 2>and Alex Rodriguez. I saw Major League Baseball on Fox

542
00:27:43.880 --> 00:27:47.000
<v Speaker 2>post that. How about that, KEYK a Hernandez with more

543
00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:50.880
<v Speaker 2>home runs in the postseason than a rod Miguel Cabrera,

544
00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:54.920
<v Speaker 2>and Chipper Jones, three Hall of famers in my book.

545
00:27:55.240 --> 00:27:59.079
<v Speaker 2>Eight nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number.

546
00:27:59.279 --> 00:28:01.640
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna take a time out here on Dodger Talk

547
00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:04.160

549
00:28:08.200 --> 00:28:11.440
<v Speaker 2>with his wife out of state for the birth of

550
00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:15.559
<v Speaker 2>their third child in between Games four and five, and

551
00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:19.119
<v Speaker 2>then getting back in time to shut down the Padres

552
00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:21.799
<v Speaker 2>in the ninth inning to be the last man standing

553
00:28:21.839 --> 00:28:25.400
<v Speaker 2>on the mound in that series. An incredible story. We'll

554
00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:28.319
<v Speaker 2>share it with you when we continue. After the Dodgers

555

565
00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:09.480
<v Speaker 19>a three run double from Bookie Bets. He unloads the

566
00:29:09.559 --> 00:29:12.440
<v Speaker 19>faces and makes it nine nothing Dodgers.

567
00:29:14.680 --> 00:29:18.680
<v Speaker 2>The game was in the refrigerator at that point. Eggs

568
00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:21.839
<v Speaker 2>were cool and butter was getting hard. As the legendary

569
00:29:21.960 --> 00:29:26.599
<v Speaker 2>chick Hern would say. Dodgers take Game one of the NLCS,

570
00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:30.720
<v Speaker 2>shutting out the Mets nine to nothing. David Vassey live

571
00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:33.960
<v Speaker 2>at Dodgers Stadium with you until ten o'clock right here

572
00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:36.960
<v Speaker 2>on a five to seventy LA Sports. I was actually

573
00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:41.400
<v Speaker 2>just watching Max Munsey's appearance with the guys on Fox

574
00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:45.000
<v Speaker 2>down on the Field, Big Poppy, Jeter and a Rod,

575
00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:49.559
<v Speaker 2>and Mounsey checked David Ortiz, MONSI was keeping the receipts

576
00:29:49.920 --> 00:29:52.480
<v Speaker 2>on the people that were picking the Padres and the

577
00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:56.480
<v Speaker 2>ones that were picking the Dodgers. And Big Poppy picked

578
00:29:56.480 --> 00:30:00.119
<v Speaker 2>the Padres to beat the Dodgers in the NLDS. And

579
00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:03.720
<v Speaker 2>Monsey called him out on it. He said, hey, did

580
00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:07.519
<v Speaker 2>you really pick us? And Poppy Poffy started lying. He

581
00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:10.839
<v Speaker 2>did not deny it. He denied the Dodgers three times

582
00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:14.720
<v Speaker 2>in front of Max Munsey. But Big Poppy, we know

583
00:30:15.359 --> 00:30:19.519
<v Speaker 2>you picked the San Diego Madres. Okay, you're a red Sock,

584
00:30:19.599 --> 00:30:23.240
<v Speaker 2>You're a Boston guy. We don't like you. LA don't

585
00:30:23.279 --> 00:30:28.799
<v Speaker 2>like Boston. So you know what those guys Jeter, David Ortiz,

586
00:30:29.119 --> 00:30:31.960
<v Speaker 2>A Rod, you guys don't move the needle for us

587
00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:35.799
<v Speaker 2>in LA. You guys are Yankees and Red Sox. Actually

588
00:30:35.839 --> 00:30:38.160
<v Speaker 2>the guy I like the most out of those three

589
00:30:38.400 --> 00:30:39.680
<v Speaker 2>is Alex Rodriguez.

590
00:30:39.799 --> 00:30:39.920
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

591
00:30:40.319 --> 00:30:42.319
<v Speaker 2>You know, I've gotten to know Alex pretty well and

592
00:30:42.400 --> 00:30:44.680
<v Speaker 2>I like him and he's more down to earth than

593
00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:47.839
<v Speaker 2>those other guys. But I mean, come on, David Ortiz,

594
00:30:47.880 --> 00:30:51.680
<v Speaker 2>you're going to deny the Dodgers three times in front

595
00:30:51.799 --> 00:30:55.839
<v Speaker 2>of Max Munsey, who knew you picked the Padres in

596
00:30:55.920 --> 00:30:59.960
<v Speaker 2>the NLDS. Come on, let's go big Poppy, your Mookie's

597
00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:04.079
<v Speaker 2>big brother supposedly, and you picked against him and his team.

598
00:31:04.599 --> 00:31:07.599
<v Speaker 2>Eight six six nine seven two five seventy is the

599
00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:10.799
<v Speaker 2>phone number. Let's go back out to the phones. Coyle,

600
00:31:11.400 --> 00:31:13.400
<v Speaker 2>you're on Dodger Talk. Where are you being, Coyle?

601
00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:17.039
<v Speaker 13>I'm doing good. Thank you for taking my call.

602
00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:19.119
<v Speaker 2>Okay, great to hear that.

603
00:31:21.039 --> 00:31:23.279
<v Speaker 13>I've got to give a big shout out to Jack Clarity.

604
00:31:23.759 --> 00:31:26.480
<v Speaker 13>Me and my dad yesterday drove down from the Bay

605
00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:29.279
<v Speaker 13>to go see this game. And he pitches, you know,

606
00:31:29.319 --> 00:31:32.200
<v Speaker 13>he pitched his heart out, So I just got to

607
00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:35.039
<v Speaker 13>give him a big, big congrats. You know, I think

608
00:31:35.359 --> 00:31:38.160
<v Speaker 13>he could have come out there and been be saved

609
00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:41.599
<v Speaker 13>by what happens against the Padres, but he lost in

610
00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:44.480
<v Speaker 13>he picked his heart out and he helped he bought

611
00:31:44.519 --> 00:31:45.160
<v Speaker 13>this to the wins.

612
00:31:45.240 --> 00:31:47.480
<v Speaker 15>So I just want to give him a big shout out.

613
00:31:48.359 --> 00:31:51.079
<v Speaker 2>Hey, there you go, Flarerty and his family are listening,

614
00:31:51.160 --> 00:31:53.599
<v Speaker 2>no doubt about it. In the Grade one eight Hey,

615
00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:56.880
<v Speaker 2>By the way, the Dodgers tonight scoring nine runs without

616
00:31:56.960 --> 00:31:59.160
<v Speaker 2>hitting a home run. That was special as well, but

617
00:31:59.559 --> 00:32:01.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, when when you score nine runs, you would

618
00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:03.880
<v Speaker 2>expect the story to be about the offense. It wasn't.

619
00:32:04.079 --> 00:32:07.200
<v Speaker 2>It was about Jack Flaherty and couldn't be happier for him.

620
00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:11.319
<v Speaker 2>Now Tomorrow, don't forget. Game two of the NLCS is

621
00:32:11.400 --> 00:32:15.200
<v Speaker 2>not a five o'clock game. Game two is at one

622
00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:18.240
<v Speaker 2>oh five. So if you're coming to the game tomorrow

623
00:32:18.480 --> 00:32:21.920
<v Speaker 2>and you have tickets for Game two one oh five,

624
00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:26.119
<v Speaker 2>and the auto gates open three hours before first pitch,

625
00:32:26.200 --> 00:32:29.599
<v Speaker 2>so get here early. I know there's morning rush hour traffic.

626
00:32:29.680 --> 00:32:34.680
<v Speaker 2>I believe it's a holiday tomorrow, Bankers Holiday, so maybe

627
00:32:34.680 --> 00:32:37.920
<v Speaker 2>traffic won't be as bad. But a weird start time

628
00:32:38.039 --> 00:32:42.440
<v Speaker 2>for a LA New York playoff series, no doubt about it.

629
00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:45.559
<v Speaker 2>After the game, the Dodgers are going to fly to

630
00:32:45.640 --> 00:32:49.000
<v Speaker 2>New York and work out at City Field on Tuesday.

631
00:32:49.039 --> 00:32:53.599
<v Speaker 2>But don't forget tomorrow, Game two of the NLCS, first

632
00:32:53.640 --> 00:32:57.960
<v Speaker 2>pitch at one oh five here at Dodgers Stadium. Let's

633
00:32:58.000 --> 00:33:01.160
<v Speaker 2>go out to Diane, who is at Dodgers Stadium tonight.

634
00:33:01.279 --> 00:33:04.119
<v Speaker 18>Hi Diane, Hi David, how are you.

635
00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:07.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing pretty good, Diane. The Dodgers are making me

636
00:33:07.799 --> 00:33:10.359
<v Speaker 2>look good and making it good at the same time.

637
00:33:11.319 --> 00:33:13.440
<v Speaker 20>They sure are. So I've been at all the games

638
00:33:13.480 --> 00:33:15.680
<v Speaker 20>and it's been full of energy, and I just love

639
00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:19.960
<v Speaker 20>that the crowd did that. I took a gamble and

640
00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:21.799
<v Speaker 20>I booked a flight about a week and a half

641
00:33:21.880 --> 00:33:24.680
<v Speaker 20>ago to go to New York. So I'll be leaving

642
00:33:24.680 --> 00:33:28.000
<v Speaker 20>on Wednesday to go watch the Dodgers clench the series

643
00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:29.119
<v Speaker 20>in New York.

644
00:33:29.640 --> 00:33:33.359
<v Speaker 2>Look at you, Diane, I love that. Good for you. Yes,

645
00:33:33.720 --> 00:33:34.640
<v Speaker 2>we'll see you out at.

646
00:33:34.519 --> 00:33:35.880
<v Speaker 5>City I met you and Philly.

647
00:33:36.720 --> 00:33:40.680
<v Speaker 20>I met you in Philly eating a Shilly cheese steak sandwich,

648
00:33:40.720 --> 00:33:42.440
<v Speaker 20>and I look forward to seeing you in New York.

649
00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:45.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh, you caught me red handed that day.

650
00:33:46.599 --> 00:33:49.119
<v Speaker 7>I did all right, Diane.

651
00:33:48.880 --> 00:33:50.519
<v Speaker 2>Look forward to seeing you on New York. Thanks a

652
00:33:50.559 --> 00:33:52.799
<v Speaker 2>lot for the phone call. Now Tomorrow, that one oh

653
00:33:52.920 --> 00:33:55.440
<v Speaker 2>five game for the Dodgers is going to be a

654
00:33:55.480 --> 00:33:59.039
<v Speaker 2>bullpen game. The way the offense scored and the way

655
00:33:59.119 --> 00:34:02.880
<v Speaker 2>Jack Flaherty allowed the Dodgers to go with a bullpen

656
00:34:03.000 --> 00:34:08.159
<v Speaker 2>game tomorrow instead of Game three at City Field. Blake Trinon,

657
00:34:08.239 --> 00:34:10.800
<v Speaker 2>you can be sure, is going to be a big

658
00:34:10.880 --> 00:34:14.679
<v Speaker 2>part of tomorrow's game. And Blake Trinon, in case you

659
00:34:14.800 --> 00:34:17.639
<v Speaker 2>didn't know, a five out save in game one of

660
00:34:17.679 --> 00:34:20.920
<v Speaker 2>the NLDS, and then came in and slammed the door

661
00:34:21.000 --> 00:34:23.880
<v Speaker 2>on the padres in game five and was the last

662
00:34:23.920 --> 00:34:28.159
<v Speaker 2>pitcher on the mound of that series. In between games

663
00:34:28.199 --> 00:34:31.559
<v Speaker 2>four and Game five, Blake Trnon went out of state

664
00:34:31.639 --> 00:34:34.360
<v Speaker 2>back to his home to be with his wife, Katie,

665
00:34:34.679 --> 00:34:39.400
<v Speaker 2>who was giving birth to their third child. Blake Trnon

666
00:34:39.559 --> 00:34:42.920
<v Speaker 2>left the Dodgers on the workout day to go be

667
00:34:43.039 --> 00:34:45.800
<v Speaker 2>with his wife, be there for the birth of their child,

668
00:34:46.159 --> 00:34:49.320
<v Speaker 2>and then came right back to La to be ready

669
00:34:49.320 --> 00:34:52.920
<v Speaker 2>to close out Game five. Blake was our pregame guest,

670
00:34:52.960 --> 00:34:56.199
<v Speaker 2>and here's part of our conversation and the story on

671
00:34:56.320 --> 00:34:58.119
<v Speaker 2>how all that went down.

672
00:34:58.639 --> 00:35:00.880
<v Speaker 21>Not many people have probably had that off opportunity. So

673
00:35:01.000 --> 00:35:03.280
<v Speaker 21>I'm not going to say that I'm like I had

674
00:35:03.280 --> 00:35:07.039
<v Speaker 21>this superhero scenario. It was just it's what we were dealting.

675
00:35:07.079 --> 00:35:09.599
<v Speaker 21>We made the most of it, and you know, as

676
00:35:09.719 --> 00:35:12.840
<v Speaker 21>we got to witness a mini miracle and our daughter

677
00:35:12.920 --> 00:35:15.559
<v Speaker 21>being born healthy and my wife being healthy, and and

678
00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:18.039
<v Speaker 21>then God blessed me with an opportunity to finish the

679
00:35:18.079 --> 00:35:21.679
<v Speaker 21>game the next day. So but yeah, your question about hours,

680
00:35:22.159 --> 00:35:24.920
<v Speaker 21>we had a scheduled you know, induction for that day,

681
00:35:24.960 --> 00:35:28.000
<v Speaker 21>and we went in at six am, and so I

682
00:35:28.039 --> 00:35:30.760
<v Speaker 21>got back at like one in the morning, and then

683
00:35:31.760 --> 00:35:35.360
<v Speaker 21>slept for about four and a half hours and.

684
00:35:34.840 --> 00:35:36.119
<v Speaker 3>Went in and then I was there all day.

685
00:35:36.119 --> 00:35:36.559
<v Speaker 10>And then.

686
00:35:37.960 --> 00:35:38.360
<v Speaker 2>It's weird.

687
00:35:38.400 --> 00:35:39.679
<v Speaker 21>You get to go home and be with your kids.

688
00:35:39.679 --> 00:35:42.639
<v Speaker 21>So I got to sleep in our bed because we

689
00:35:42.679 --> 00:35:45.199
<v Speaker 21>can't have the kids in the room. So I went

690
00:35:45.199 --> 00:35:46.800
<v Speaker 21>home and was with the kids, and then got up

691
00:35:46.800 --> 00:35:48.920
<v Speaker 21>the next morning and went in and was with Katie

692
00:35:48.920 --> 00:35:52.679
<v Speaker 21>and Quinn, and yeah, I was there for a few hours,

693
00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:53.679
<v Speaker 21>and then I had to get a flight and come

694
00:35:53.679 --> 00:35:54.000
<v Speaker 21>back here.

695
00:35:54.039 --> 00:35:58.000
<v Speaker 2>So it was, it was, It was nice, incredible, incredible

696
00:35:58.519 --> 00:36:02.079
<v Speaker 2>for Blake trying into leave the team on the off

697
00:36:02.159 --> 00:36:06.320
<v Speaker 2>day they induced their daughter's birth and he gets back

698
00:36:06.360 --> 00:36:09.519
<v Speaker 2>on a plane four or five hours later to be

699
00:36:09.679 --> 00:36:12.880
<v Speaker 2>back and ready for Game five and closes out Game

700
00:36:12.960 --> 00:36:17.519
<v Speaker 2>five in that type of emotional setting. Just remarkable. And

701
00:36:17.639 --> 00:36:20.440
<v Speaker 2>to hear the full conversation with Blake Trnon, just to

702
00:36:20.480 --> 00:36:22.760
<v Speaker 2>hear all of it, you can find it on the

703
00:36:22.800 --> 00:36:26.760
<v Speaker 2>iHeartRadio app. All right, let's get to our guy, Jose Moda.

704
00:36:27.599 --> 00:36:31.639
<v Speaker 1>It's time to go around the horn with Jose Moda.

705
00:36:32.159 --> 00:36:34.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, Jose Modi and I spent some quality time with

706
00:36:35.119 --> 00:36:38.440
<v Speaker 2>Many Ramirez before the game today and before he threw

707
00:36:38.480 --> 00:36:41.320
<v Speaker 2>out the first pitch. You could see that video on

708
00:36:41.400 --> 00:36:45.880
<v Speaker 2>Jose and Mine's Instagram. Man, Jose, great to see Many

709
00:36:45.960 --> 00:36:48.519
<v Speaker 2>Ramirez and great to see him just hanging out in

710
00:36:48.559 --> 00:36:51.960
<v Speaker 2>your Spanish radio booth with you and your dad, Matt.

711
00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:52.960
<v Speaker 10>He was just chilling out.

712
00:36:53.000 --> 00:36:54.840
<v Speaker 22>But you know what, he is so appreciative of what

713
00:36:54.880 --> 00:36:57.000
<v Speaker 22>the Dodgers have done with him the last couple of

714
00:36:57.000 --> 00:36:59.960
<v Speaker 22>weeks brought him to a game and then throw another

715
00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:03.440
<v Speaker 22>first pitch, and when they aligned this, he was like, man,

716
00:37:03.719 --> 00:37:05.360
<v Speaker 22>we got to get that team to the second round

717
00:37:05.360 --> 00:37:07.400
<v Speaker 22>and out of the World Series, because I really want

718
00:37:07.400 --> 00:37:10.039
<v Speaker 22>to make sure I'm make an appearance, not just on

719
00:37:10.159 --> 00:37:11.880
<v Speaker 22>the seats as it did a couple of weeks ago,

720
00:37:11.960 --> 00:37:15.239
<v Speaker 22>but on the field and bro and the fans.

721
00:37:14.840 --> 00:37:19.639
<v Speaker 23>That interact so many people around them. Benny's appreciate out

722
00:37:19.639 --> 00:37:23.559
<v Speaker 23>of your fans. It's time here, honey would But also

723
00:37:23.599 --> 00:37:26.199
<v Speaker 23>I got that brings a mentality and one where he told.

724
00:37:25.960 --> 00:37:29.159
<v Speaker 22>Me actually today Dave, he goes. Dave Roberts is a

725
00:37:29.159 --> 00:37:31.039
<v Speaker 22>guy I love so much because when he was with

726
00:37:31.159 --> 00:37:31.960
<v Speaker 22>me in Cleveland.

727
00:37:32.280 --> 00:37:32.760
<v Speaker 10>He's one of.

728
00:37:32.760 --> 00:37:35.039
<v Speaker 22>Those guys that we all went to get some knowledge

729
00:37:35.079 --> 00:37:36.760
<v Speaker 22>in little wisdom here and there. He goes, look who

730
00:37:36.760 --> 00:37:39.039
<v Speaker 22>he is today, And I passed the messages on today.

731
00:37:39.079 --> 00:37:40.320
<v Speaker 22>But he was quite happy that man he was going

732
00:37:40.360 --> 00:37:41.000
<v Speaker 22>to be around today.

733
00:37:41.280 --> 00:37:43.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it wasn't the first time they were teammates. And

734
00:37:43.920 --> 00:37:47.559
<v Speaker 2>four Dave Roberts spent eight years in the minor leagues

735
00:37:47.599 --> 00:37:50.199
<v Speaker 2>with the Cleveland Indians when Manny was coming up, so

736
00:37:50.320 --> 00:37:53.519
<v Speaker 2>that makes sense. Thanks for reminding us of all that, Jose.

737
00:37:53.639 --> 00:37:57.360
<v Speaker 2>And then once the game started, Jack Flaherty looked like

738
00:37:57.519 --> 00:37:59.280
<v Speaker 2>the best version of himself.

739
00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:04.000
<v Speaker 22>Yeah, Jack was on and I'm glad to have spoken

740
00:38:04.039 --> 00:38:07.239
<v Speaker 22>with him recently about that urgency of you know, pitch

741
00:38:07.360 --> 00:38:10.320
<v Speaker 22>number one in the playoff and the fact that things

742
00:38:10.320 --> 00:38:12.519
<v Speaker 22>did not go as well as he planned and wanted

743
00:38:12.559 --> 00:38:15.199
<v Speaker 22>to deliver in the first time he pitched against the pottery,

744
00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:17.039
<v Speaker 22>So you know, like, yo, I'm alatively.

745
00:38:17.119 --> 00:38:19.159
<v Speaker 10>He takes that and said, well, I need to be

746
00:38:19.159 --> 00:38:21.039
<v Speaker 10>better at this. And what did he do better today? Well,

747
00:38:21.079 --> 00:38:22.239
<v Speaker 10>the fact is, I think.

748
00:38:22.079 --> 00:38:27.519
<v Speaker 22>There's velocity differential, Dave. He was twenty miles an hour

749
00:38:27.800 --> 00:38:31.000
<v Speaker 22>of difference between pitches, Okay, between ninety five and seventy five.

750
00:38:31.079 --> 00:38:33.760
<v Speaker 22>What I like also besides that is the fact that

751
00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:37.000
<v Speaker 22>I mean Jack didn't miss much out over the plate.

752
00:38:37.400 --> 00:38:40.159
<v Speaker 22>He had consistency from Jeremy Rehact behind the plate, and

753
00:38:40.719 --> 00:38:43.800
<v Speaker 22>he had the ability to pitch backwards. This Mets team

754
00:38:43.840 --> 00:38:46.360
<v Speaker 22>could ambush you very quickly, but he just had him

755
00:38:46.360 --> 00:38:48.920
<v Speaker 22>thinking and jumping around and guessing so many times where

756
00:38:49.159 --> 00:38:51.760
<v Speaker 22>he was able to establish a sinker inside which had

757
00:38:51.880 --> 00:38:54.559
<v Speaker 22>nice run inside. Today the swings and missus were a

758
00:38:54.679 --> 00:38:56.400
<v Speaker 22>pitcher that he wanted to have swings and missus. But

759
00:38:56.960 --> 00:38:58.840
<v Speaker 22>I think there's a little baffling also going back and

760
00:38:58.880 --> 00:39:00.800
<v Speaker 22>forth because they just cannot get a note as to

761
00:39:00.840 --> 00:39:02.679
<v Speaker 22>which way he's going to go with a baseball and

762
00:39:02.760 --> 00:39:04.119
<v Speaker 22>what veloci they were going to see.

763
00:39:04.679 --> 00:39:08.119
<v Speaker 2>The favorite part of this game for me, offensively, Jose,

764
00:39:08.559 --> 00:39:11.559
<v Speaker 2>was how the Dodgers were able to score nine runs

765
00:39:11.599 --> 00:39:14.440
<v Speaker 2>without hitting a home run. We know the home run

766
00:39:14.480 --> 00:39:17.599
<v Speaker 2>ball came in in a big way during the NLDS,

767
00:39:17.639 --> 00:39:20.760
<v Speaker 2>but I just love seeing guys knowing who they are

768
00:39:20.920 --> 00:39:23.800
<v Speaker 2>at the bottom of the lineup. We saw Gavin Lux

769
00:39:24.000 --> 00:39:28.639
<v Speaker 2>and Tommy Edmund laid down sacrifice bunts to put runners

770
00:39:28.679 --> 00:39:32.000
<v Speaker 2>in scoring position for show Hao Tani. That's what the

771
00:39:32.079 --> 00:39:34.840
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers need to do and something we didn't see a

772
00:39:34.840 --> 00:39:36.320
<v Speaker 2>lot during the regular season.

773
00:39:37.199 --> 00:39:40.760
<v Speaker 22>No, I mean ten sacrifice bunts overall as a team,

774
00:39:41.119 --> 00:39:43.639
<v Speaker 22>and most of them went to one guy. Right today,

775
00:39:44.039 --> 00:39:46.360
<v Speaker 22>you know one thing for sure, and you know, having

776
00:39:46.519 --> 00:39:49.599
<v Speaker 22>played playoff mode baseball those last couple of weeks of

777
00:39:49.679 --> 00:39:53.599
<v Speaker 22>September just opens out that mentality of who we are

778
00:39:53.679 --> 00:39:55.920
<v Speaker 22>and what is expected from me. What is expected from

779
00:39:55.920 --> 00:39:58.079
<v Speaker 22>the bottom of the lineup is not this slug, is

780
00:39:58.119 --> 00:40:00.719
<v Speaker 22>to get them and turn the lineup around. And also

781
00:40:00.920 --> 00:40:04.119
<v Speaker 22>here's something to consider. There's many managers that will think, well,

782
00:40:04.159 --> 00:40:06.119
<v Speaker 22>I don't want you to bun in front of joehial

783
00:40:06.159 --> 00:40:07.480
<v Speaker 22>TONI because they're going to walk him.

784
00:40:07.480 --> 00:40:08.719
<v Speaker 5>So what let him walk?

785
00:40:08.840 --> 00:40:11.320
<v Speaker 22>Joehiltani. You got Bokie Bets and Freddie Freemer right behind it.

786
00:40:11.400 --> 00:40:12.400
<v Speaker 12>So I'm glad that.

787
00:40:12.400 --> 00:40:16.719
<v Speaker 22>Dave allows his coaches and to delegate enough to tell

788
00:40:16.760 --> 00:40:18.519
<v Speaker 22>the players this is what we're gonna do and stick

789
00:40:18.559 --> 00:40:21.360
<v Speaker 22>with it because I believe in you. But Dave, it's

790
00:40:21.360 --> 00:40:24.039
<v Speaker 22>something to be said about since the last laws in

791
00:40:24.119 --> 00:40:27.119
<v Speaker 22>San Diego, the swings and misses, we all brought it up.

792
00:40:27.719 --> 00:40:31.039
<v Speaker 22>There is something said about that to the group to say, listen,

793
00:40:31.159 --> 00:40:33.719
<v Speaker 22>we are a powerful team. We can now slug anybody,

794
00:40:34.239 --> 00:40:36.000
<v Speaker 22>but also we got to cut down. We've seen some

795
00:40:36.119 --> 00:40:38.119
<v Speaker 22>very good pitching and I think the Dollers have gotten

796
00:40:38.119 --> 00:40:40.440
<v Speaker 22>into that contact mode that you and I have discussed

797
00:40:40.440 --> 00:40:43.599
<v Speaker 22>a lot to strike approaches using the other side of

798
00:40:43.599 --> 00:40:46.719
<v Speaker 22>the field, and in October it is the thing that

799
00:40:46.840 --> 00:40:49.800
<v Speaker 22>bothers the most on the opposing side because the line

800
00:40:49.880 --> 00:40:53.400
<v Speaker 22>keeps moving, You're pressuring the defense and you have also

801
00:40:53.440 --> 00:40:56.400
<v Speaker 22>the other managers saying who and how I'm going to

802
00:40:56.480 --> 00:40:59.599
<v Speaker 22>match up and the valuers again see big pieces out

803
00:40:59.599 --> 00:41:01.320
<v Speaker 22>of the book an early in the game, early in

804
00:41:01.320 --> 00:41:03.199
<v Speaker 22>the series, which is going to be beneficial for them

805
00:41:03.519 --> 00:41:04.199
<v Speaker 22>in the long run.

806
00:41:04.599 --> 00:41:08.039
<v Speaker 2>Jose Mota is joining us on Dodger Talk after the

807
00:41:08.079 --> 00:41:11.239
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers take Game one of the NLCS with a nine

808
00:41:11.280 --> 00:41:15.400
<v Speaker 2>to nothing shutout win. Tomorrow one oh five game Jose

809
00:41:15.679 --> 00:41:18.960
<v Speaker 2>Day game, the Dodgers will be facing Sean Manaia, but

810
00:41:19.039 --> 00:41:22.039
<v Speaker 2>they will be going to another bullpen game that worked

811
00:41:22.199 --> 00:41:26.719
<v Speaker 2>to perfection in Game four against the Padres. How do

812
00:41:26.760 --> 00:41:29.639
<v Speaker 2>you see this working out? Can it get any better?

813
00:41:29.679 --> 00:41:33.639
<v Speaker 2>Can they duplicate that? It seems that was the epitome

814
00:41:33.920 --> 00:41:37.039
<v Speaker 2>of the perfection of what you could expect from a

815
00:41:37.039 --> 00:41:37.880
<v Speaker 2>bullpen game.

816
00:41:39.199 --> 00:41:42.480
<v Speaker 22>I mean, honestly, you expect him to continue to play

817
00:41:42.519 --> 00:41:44.360
<v Speaker 22>well and pitch well. But also you know the other

818
00:41:44.400 --> 00:41:47.599
<v Speaker 22>team has the notes that they've taken on the opposing pictures.

819
00:41:48.119 --> 00:41:50.039
<v Speaker 22>We don't want thing. When it comes down to confidence,

820
00:41:50.079 --> 00:41:52.400
<v Speaker 22>and that is a big word here as we move

821
00:41:52.440 --> 00:41:55.920
<v Speaker 22>along through October. These guys know they can get anybody out.

822
00:41:56.639 --> 00:42:00.360
<v Speaker 22>I am the most out of the bullpen is this Okay.

823
00:42:00.920 --> 00:42:03.840
<v Speaker 22>They're not chasing punch outs, they're chasing good pitches, and

824
00:42:03.880 --> 00:42:07.639
<v Speaker 22>they're putting the ball in good spots. Nobody's overthrowing, nobody's

825
00:42:07.679 --> 00:42:10.440
<v Speaker 22>gone out of control to give the other team opportunities

826
00:42:10.440 --> 00:42:13.400
<v Speaker 22>to score. And if you continue that mentality knowing that

827
00:42:13.440 --> 00:42:15.480
<v Speaker 22>you do have the punch out if you need it,

828
00:42:15.480 --> 00:42:17.559
<v Speaker 22>it just makes you a better picture. And then guys

829
00:42:17.559 --> 00:42:21.360
<v Speaker 22>following that and scouting in game is important. And in

830
00:42:21.400 --> 00:42:24.320
<v Speaker 22>all those days, we got to give a lot of

831
00:42:24.360 --> 00:42:27.239
<v Speaker 22>credit to Will Smith. I mean to parade all these

832
00:42:27.280 --> 00:42:32.800
<v Speaker 22>guys in playoff situation for them to throw zeros. His

833
00:42:32.920 --> 00:42:35.239
<v Speaker 22>targets are much better, his game calling much better, his

834
00:42:35.360 --> 00:42:37.400
<v Speaker 22>blocking much better. I think overall he's done a very

835
00:42:37.400 --> 00:42:39.719
<v Speaker 22>good job gutting these guys along, and if they've done

836
00:42:39.719 --> 00:42:42.280
<v Speaker 22>it so far, there's good. There's no doubt that keeping

837
00:42:42.320 --> 00:42:44.840
<v Speaker 22>an offense down as they have done, you know so

838
00:42:44.920 --> 00:42:47.360
<v Speaker 22>far in this playoffs, it's doable.

839
00:42:47.960 --> 00:42:50.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no doubt about it. Hopefully Will Smith is part

840
00:42:50.599 --> 00:42:53.599
<v Speaker 2>of those pregame meetings and conversations to come up with

841
00:42:53.679 --> 00:42:56.599
<v Speaker 2>a game plan because he's the guy executing it and

842
00:42:57.360 --> 00:42:59.719
<v Speaker 2>catchers need to be a big part of that. Jose,

843
00:43:00.239 --> 00:43:02.239
<v Speaker 2>thanks a lot for the time. We'll see you tomorrow.

844
00:43:02.239 --> 00:43:05.199
<v Speaker 2>A quick turnaround for Game two of the NLCS. Very

845
00:43:05.280 --> 00:43:07.599
<v Speaker 2>unusual day game like this.

846
00:43:08.639 --> 00:43:10.800
<v Speaker 22>Well, somebody's gonna take a little prime time sometimes, so

847
00:43:10.840 --> 00:43:12.599
<v Speaker 22>the Dodgers don't take your business day game.

848
00:43:12.639 --> 00:43:12.840
<v Speaker 10>Hey.

849
00:43:12.840 --> 00:43:14.159
<v Speaker 22>By the way, I had a big game against the

850
00:43:14.159 --> 00:43:16.440
<v Speaker 22>Mets in a day game, something like ten to nothing

851
00:43:16.440 --> 00:43:17.559
<v Speaker 22>when glasshow was on the mount.

852
00:43:17.639 --> 00:43:19.000
<v Speaker 10>So all was gonna say, is.

853
00:43:19.000 --> 00:43:20.000
<v Speaker 22>This word has worked for you?

854
00:43:20.719 --> 00:43:20.920
<v Speaker 8>Good?

855
00:43:20.960 --> 00:43:21.960
<v Speaker 22>Well, I know it's your socio.

856
00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:25.519
<v Speaker 2>Okay, thanks a lot O say yes that or that

857
00:43:25.760 --> 00:43:28.800
<v Speaker 2>is the magic words, I guess eight six six nine

858
00:43:28.800 --> 00:43:32.119
<v Speaker 2>eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers

859
00:43:32.159 --> 00:43:34.559
<v Speaker 2>shut out the Mets nine to nothing in Game one

860
00:43:34.559 --> 00:43:38.280
<v Speaker 2>of the NLCS. Game two tomorrow at one oh five

861
00:43:38.400 --> 00:43:42.119
<v Speaker 2>here at Dodgers Stadium with Rick Monday and Stephen Nelson

862
00:43:42.320 --> 00:43:46.000
<v Speaker 2>on the call. Let's go out to Las Vegas. Sergio,

863
00:43:46.159 --> 00:43:48.599
<v Speaker 2>you're on Dodger Talk. Hi Sergio, where'd you watch the

864
00:43:48.639 --> 00:43:52.960
<v Speaker 2>game tonight? Mirage, Sportsbook, Bellagio? Where'd you watch the game tonight?

865
00:43:54.000 --> 00:43:54.239
<v Speaker 14>BV.

866
00:43:54.400 --> 00:43:56.039
<v Speaker 8>I was in my living room.

867
00:43:56.400 --> 00:43:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Nobody stays in their living room in Vegas.

868
00:44:00.119 --> 00:44:01.159
<v Speaker 8>When I watched the Dodgers.

869
00:44:01.199 --> 00:44:01.559
<v Speaker 10>I don't know.

870
00:44:01.960 --> 00:44:05.360
<v Speaker 8>I have to be basically alone. Even my daughter was

871
00:44:05.400 --> 00:44:07.719
<v Speaker 8>in a different room walking in a different TV.

872
00:44:08.719 --> 00:44:10.719
<v Speaker 10>But here, I have two.

873
00:44:10.639 --> 00:44:14.800
<v Speaker 8>Quick comments and then two apologies. All right. First, tremendous

874
00:44:15.119 --> 00:44:19.679
<v Speaker 8>stress free game from Jack Clarity. Amazing, great job.

875
00:44:20.119 --> 00:44:25.280
<v Speaker 24>And then the play on Winker by Kika hit the

876
00:44:25.280 --> 00:44:27.440
<v Speaker 24>bass hit. He came up and it looked like he

877
00:44:27.599 --> 00:44:29.599
<v Speaker 24>if you look at the replay, it looked like he

878
00:44:29.679 --> 00:44:33.239
<v Speaker 24>deeked a winker kind of paused and made him pause

879
00:44:33.519 --> 00:44:36.840
<v Speaker 24>and he threw back like a you know, like a

880
00:44:37.119 --> 00:44:38.960
<v Speaker 24>like like a quarterback that.

881
00:44:38.920 --> 00:44:42.199
<v Speaker 8>Like a stafford. He's looking one direction and he passes

882
00:44:42.239 --> 00:44:45.519
<v Speaker 8>it in a different direction. Tremendous play by Kik. Now,

883
00:44:45.920 --> 00:44:48.960
<v Speaker 8>my apologies. I've been a fan since nineteen seventy.

884
00:44:48.639 --> 00:44:51.679
<v Speaker 2>Six, Dave I was born great year.

885
00:44:53.320 --> 00:44:56.079
<v Speaker 8>My apologies to Mookie Bets and Dave Roberts.

886
00:44:56.199 --> 00:44:56.840
<v Speaker 12>Shame on me.

887
00:44:57.800 --> 00:45:01.719
<v Speaker 8>Earlier in the Padre series, I was doubting them, and

888
00:45:01.760 --> 00:45:06.119
<v Speaker 8>I'm mad enough to apologize, just like a lot of

889
00:45:06.199 --> 00:45:10.800
<v Speaker 8>people were doubting Mookie Mooky's come through. Dave Roberts. I

890
00:45:10.920 --> 00:45:14.079
<v Speaker 8>was never somebody that criticized Dave Roberts. I would actually

891
00:45:14.119 --> 00:45:16.280
<v Speaker 8>defend Dave Roberts. And I don't know I went to

892
00:45:16.320 --> 00:45:19.440
<v Speaker 8>the dark side there for a minute, but you know,

893
00:45:20.320 --> 00:45:24.639
<v Speaker 8>you know, you know, I'm eating my words, and I'm

894
00:45:24.719 --> 00:45:27.079
<v Speaker 8>glad that I'm eating my words. Shame on me.

895
00:45:27.480 --> 00:45:33.599
<v Speaker 2>Hey, it's good. These players, managers, they all need to

896
00:45:33.639 --> 00:45:36.719
<v Speaker 2>be held accountable and know that people are out there.

897
00:45:37.119 --> 00:45:39.840
<v Speaker 2>I feel like Dave Roberts has gotten a little bit

898
00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:44.320
<v Speaker 2>unfair criticism over the course of the last especially four years,

899
00:45:45.519 --> 00:45:50.559
<v Speaker 2>you know. And Mooky. Look, I feel like he needed

900
00:45:50.599 --> 00:45:54.119
<v Speaker 2>to be held accountable the last two years coming into

901
00:45:54.159 --> 00:45:58.599
<v Speaker 2>this season, and he has responded. So I hear what

902
00:45:58.639 --> 00:46:03.440
<v Speaker 2>you were saying, But no apology. Boston holds their people accountable.

903
00:46:03.719 --> 00:46:07.039
<v Speaker 2>New York holds their athletes accountable. All good If LA

904
00:46:07.199 --> 00:46:08.320
<v Speaker 2>does it as well.

905
00:46:09.239 --> 00:46:14.119
<v Speaker 8>Yep and MLB network host radio hosts. Uh, we're all

906
00:46:14.159 --> 00:46:16.280
<v Speaker 8>over the Padres. They need to be eating their words

907
00:46:16.280 --> 00:46:18.840
<v Speaker 8>tomorrow when I'm singing at six in the morning Pacific time.

908
00:46:19.079 --> 00:46:22.320
<v Speaker 2>Hey, everybody that picked the Padres are very lucky. I

909
00:46:22.400 --> 00:46:24.559
<v Speaker 2>just don't call them out right now by name. I

910
00:46:24.599 --> 00:46:27.079
<v Speaker 2>may do it when the Dodgers win the World Series.

911
00:46:27.119 --> 00:46:31.400
<v Speaker 2>I may just out everybody that picked the Padres to

912
00:46:31.480 --> 00:46:33.960
<v Speaker 2>win the not only beat the Dodgers, but to win

913
00:46:34.039 --> 00:46:37.800
<v Speaker 2>the World Series. Uh so, well, I'm sure Max Muntsey

914
00:46:37.880 --> 00:46:40.119
<v Speaker 2>has those receipts too. We could go through it together.

915
00:46:40.519 --> 00:46:43.639
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for the phone call, Sergio Viva Las Vegas eight

916
00:46:43.719 --> 00:46:47.159
<v Speaker 2>six six nine eight seven two five seventy. Let's come

917
00:46:47.199 --> 00:46:50.719
<v Speaker 2>closer to home see me, Valley Mark, You're on Dodger Talk.

918
00:46:50.800 --> 00:46:53.679
<v Speaker 15>Hi Mark, Hey David, how are you.

919
00:46:55.079 --> 00:46:58.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing great, I know you are.

920
00:46:58.599 --> 00:47:01.639
<v Speaker 15>We've made We've plugged many times over the years, and

921
00:47:02.159 --> 00:47:05.119
<v Speaker 15>this series is just very very special to me because

922
00:47:05.159 --> 00:47:09.159
<v Speaker 15>I grew up in the Jersey for my first thirty years,

923
00:47:09.199 --> 00:47:12.960
<v Speaker 15>and I remember eighty six and taking shaving cream of

924
00:47:12.960 --> 00:47:17.039
<v Speaker 15>my parents who are deceased, and shaving putting shaving cream

925
00:47:17.079 --> 00:47:21.480
<v Speaker 15>on a mister Metdal. I remember coming out of surgery. Yeah,

926
00:47:21.519 --> 00:47:25.599
<v Speaker 15>it's crazy. I remember coming out of surgery when when

927
00:47:25.679 --> 00:47:28.639
<v Speaker 15>Walker through Game one sixty three, and the first thing

928
00:47:28.679 --> 00:47:31.119
<v Speaker 15>I said at a surgery that could have caused my

929
00:47:31.239 --> 00:47:34.840
<v Speaker 15>life was did the Dodgers win? So this series, I

930
00:47:34.880 --> 00:47:39.199
<v Speaker 15>have a med hat, a Dodger hat. Obviously being here

931
00:47:39.239 --> 00:47:41.639
<v Speaker 15>for twenty years, I'm rooting for the Dodgers. But when

932
00:47:41.719 --> 00:47:46.400
<v Speaker 15>Mookie hit that run, you know, I clapped. I clapped

933
00:47:46.440 --> 00:47:49.039
<v Speaker 15>and cheered for the Dodgers. It's it's it's just an

934
00:47:49.039 --> 00:47:53.880
<v Speaker 15>amazing series for me, lifelong dream of mind to see this,

935
00:47:54.559 --> 00:47:57.199
<v Speaker 15>and I hope it goes. I hope it goes a

936
00:47:57.239 --> 00:47:59.760
<v Speaker 15>long time, you know. But the Dodgers are looking really

937
00:47:59.760 --> 00:48:00.679
<v Speaker 15>really good, David.

938
00:48:01.159 --> 00:48:04.519
<v Speaker 2>They are. I feel like the Dodgers are the team

939
00:48:04.679 --> 00:48:08.639
<v Speaker 2>playing their best baseball at the right time. Eight six, six,

940
00:48:08.760 --> 00:48:11.599
<v Speaker 2>nine eighty seven, two five seventy is the phone number,

941
00:48:12.000 --> 00:48:14.880
<v Speaker 2>and I can relate to that to a certain extent. Obviously,

942
00:48:14.920 --> 00:48:17.639
<v Speaker 2>I grew up in the San Fernando Valley Woodland Hills.

943
00:48:18.880 --> 00:48:21.679
<v Speaker 2>Did not have many opportunities when I was growing up

944
00:48:21.800 --> 00:48:25.440
<v Speaker 2>to get to Dodger games. My uh my uncle Sal

945
00:48:25.599 --> 00:48:28.280
<v Speaker 2>used to have company tickets and used to hook me

946
00:48:28.360 --> 00:48:30.679
<v Speaker 2>up once in a while and would be able to

947
00:48:30.719 --> 00:48:33.280
<v Speaker 2>go to a handful of games. But you know, when

948
00:48:33.320 --> 00:48:37.400
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers and Mets last played in the NLCS nineteen

949
00:48:37.559 --> 00:48:41.639
<v Speaker 2>eighty eight, uh, it just seemed like Dodgers Stadium was

950
00:48:41.679 --> 00:48:44.239
<v Speaker 2>so far away, even though I was in Woodland Hills,

951
00:48:44.280 --> 00:48:48.800
<v Speaker 2>it just seemed unreachable to be able to even consider

952
00:48:49.639 --> 00:48:52.599
<v Speaker 2>getting a ticket to come to one of those games.

953
00:48:52.639 --> 00:48:56.480
<v Speaker 2>And even Game seven of the NLCS, there was no

954
00:48:56.599 --> 00:48:59.440
<v Speaker 2>chance my mom could afford even buying a ticket to

955
00:48:59.480 --> 00:49:03.360
<v Speaker 2>that game, let alone even think about taking me. So

956
00:49:03.559 --> 00:49:08.599
<v Speaker 2>watching those games on TV after school and then when

957
00:49:08.599 --> 00:49:11.360
<v Speaker 2>they were home games obviously on the weekends, it just

958
00:49:12.000 --> 00:49:14.639
<v Speaker 2>it just seems so unreachable. And to be here doing

959
00:49:14.679 --> 00:49:18.880
<v Speaker 2>this show during this series with this team, it's it's

960
00:49:18.880 --> 00:49:23.039
<v Speaker 2>a pinch me moment growing up here in La Dodgers

961
00:49:23.079 --> 00:49:27.039
<v Speaker 2>Mets NLCS. The last time they faced off against each other,

962
00:49:27.199 --> 00:49:30.239
<v Speaker 2>Mike Sooshia hit one of the biggest home runs and

963
00:49:30.360 --> 00:49:33.760
<v Speaker 2>Dodger postseason history off of Dwight Gooden to give the

964
00:49:33.800 --> 00:49:37.199
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers life in Game four. Kirk Gibson hit a home

965
00:49:37.239 --> 00:49:40.440
<v Speaker 2>run in the twelfth inning of that game, Soshia's tied it.

966
00:49:41.760 --> 00:49:44.320
<v Speaker 2>Dwight Gooden was about to put the Dodgers down three

967
00:49:44.440 --> 00:49:47.079
<v Speaker 2>games to one, and then they had to turn around

968
00:49:47.440 --> 00:49:51.519
<v Speaker 2>hours later after that early morning win in New York

969
00:49:51.679 --> 00:49:55.559
<v Speaker 2>and play Game five, and they forced a seventh game,

970
00:49:55.599 --> 00:49:59.480
<v Speaker 2>and Oral, herscheiser, as he did all season long that year,

971
00:49:59.639 --> 00:50:02.559
<v Speaker 2>carried the Dodgers to the Promised Land. I can still

972
00:50:02.599 --> 00:50:05.119
<v Speaker 2>see Oral taking a knee after he struck out Howard

973
00:50:05.199 --> 00:50:08.519
<v Speaker 2>Johnson in Game seven of the NLCS to send the

974
00:50:08.559 --> 00:50:12.039
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers to the World Series. Still have the newspaper, the

975
00:50:12.079 --> 00:50:16.119
<v Speaker 2>old Herald Examiner still have it. So really this is special,

976
00:50:16.159 --> 00:50:21.079
<v Speaker 2>but completely different scenario. I mean, those were the Mighty Mets.

977
00:50:21.119 --> 00:50:22.960
<v Speaker 2>What they want one hundred and seven, one hundred and

978
00:50:23.039 --> 00:50:25.800
<v Speaker 2>eight games that year. Nobody gave the Dodgers a chance

979
00:50:25.840 --> 00:50:29.039
<v Speaker 2>that year to beat them. This year, the Dodgers, like

980
00:50:29.119 --> 00:50:31.920
<v Speaker 2>I said, you have to take inventory of what you

981
00:50:32.039 --> 00:50:35.800
<v Speaker 2>have as a fan and realize that the Dodgers are

982
00:50:35.880 --> 00:50:39.519
<v Speaker 2>really good and the Dodgers are the team nobody wants

983
00:50:39.559 --> 00:50:43.519
<v Speaker 2>to play right now, including those Mets. Eight six, six, nine,

984
00:50:43.599 --> 00:50:46.760
<v Speaker 2>eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. Let's

985
00:50:46.800 --> 00:50:52.719
<v Speaker 2>take Evan in LA. You're on Dodger Talk. How you doing, Evan, Say,

986
00:50:52.800 --> 00:50:53.239
<v Speaker 2>what's up?

987
00:50:53.280 --> 00:50:54.880
<v Speaker 15>This is Evan from LA in a minute.

988
00:50:55.039 --> 00:50:57.480
<v Speaker 10>Always appreciate what DLA in a minute?

989
00:50:57.559 --> 00:50:59.679
<v Speaker 2>Right there, Evan? Are you kidding me? I just watched

990
00:50:59.679 --> 00:51:02.280
<v Speaker 2>your v with Oral Herscheiser. You're a legend.

991
00:51:02.760 --> 00:51:05.679
<v Speaker 25>Thank you, Thank you, Bro, You're a legend. You're doing

992
00:51:05.719 --> 00:51:08.639
<v Speaker 25>a great job. But this all about the Dodgers, top

993
00:51:08.679 --> 00:51:13.559
<v Speaker 25>to bottom. Everybody's contributing, Freedman, Roberts. Honestly, some of them align,

994
00:51:13.719 --> 00:51:16.239
<v Speaker 25>some criticism, but this team's coming together in the right time.

995
00:51:16.320 --> 00:51:19.239
<v Speaker 25>You're saying everything right. But this call is about the fans.

996
00:51:19.920 --> 00:51:22.079
<v Speaker 18>This is the energy.

997
00:51:23.039 --> 00:51:25.679
<v Speaker 2>Get to your point. Can you say, let's get into it.

998
00:51:27.280 --> 00:51:31.360
<v Speaker 25>Lat's get into it all right, Jo, So listen. I

999
00:51:31.440 --> 00:51:33.280
<v Speaker 25>gotta give props to the fans.

1000
00:51:33.280 --> 00:51:33.480
<v Speaker 10>Man.

1001
00:51:33.519 --> 00:51:36.880
<v Speaker 25>These callers today have been on point, every one of them.

1002
00:51:37.280 --> 00:51:37.920
<v Speaker 12>The stadium.

1003
00:51:37.920 --> 00:51:39.880
<v Speaker 25>I was there for Game five. I wasn't there today.

1004
00:51:40.400 --> 00:51:42.960
<v Speaker 25>I've never felt energy like that. I've been to World

1005
00:51:43.000 --> 00:51:47.440
<v Speaker 25>Series games twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen. The city is focused,

1006
00:51:47.440 --> 00:51:50.679
<v Speaker 25>the city is excited. I got text threads that were

1007
00:51:50.840 --> 00:51:53.159
<v Speaker 25>that are popping off that I haven't heard from people

1008
00:51:53.199 --> 00:51:56.440
<v Speaker 25>in years. Everybody is vested. In this Dodgers and like

1009
00:51:56.519 --> 00:51:59.239
<v Speaker 25>you said, it always seems like we run into the

1010
00:51:59.320 --> 00:52:02.400
<v Speaker 25>team that gets We are the team that's right at

1011
00:52:02.400 --> 00:52:05.079
<v Speaker 25>the hot, that are hot at the right time, and

1012
00:52:05.239 --> 00:52:08.440
<v Speaker 25>this is the Dodgers year. I love your confidence what

1013
00:52:08.480 --> 00:52:10.519
<v Speaker 25>you're saying that we are better than the Mets, and

1014
00:52:10.559 --> 00:52:13.000
<v Speaker 25>you know what, we're better than the Guardians and the Yankees.

1015
00:52:13.239 --> 00:52:16.679
<v Speaker 25>But one other thing too, Again, fans are making it happen.

1016
00:52:16.719 --> 00:52:19.400
<v Speaker 25>That energy is real throughout the city. But two other things,

1017
00:52:19.639 --> 00:52:22.760
<v Speaker 25>Jack Flowerdy, they always talk about high school, Studio City, Harvard, Westlake.

1018
00:52:23.000 --> 00:52:25.559
<v Speaker 25>Gotta get props to Sherman Oaks Little League, which is

1019
00:52:25.559 --> 00:52:28.960
<v Speaker 25>where it all started for him. Little league baseball is

1020
00:52:29.000 --> 00:52:32.719
<v Speaker 25>still the core of youth baseball and he is such

1021
00:52:32.719 --> 00:52:35.679
<v Speaker 25>an example and it's so great to see him growing

1022
00:52:35.760 --> 00:52:38.079
<v Speaker 25>up Dodger fan doing what he's doing for the Dodgers.

1023
00:52:38.239 --> 00:52:41.320
<v Speaker 25>And one other very important point I know Dave Roberts

1024
00:52:41.320 --> 00:52:44.559
<v Speaker 25>said this in his postgame interview today, Prayers go out

1025
00:52:44.639 --> 00:52:48.519
<v Speaker 25>to Fernando vealnzuela man that I grew up with, Fernando

1026
00:52:48.800 --> 00:52:52.679
<v Speaker 25>Fernando Mania. You know this run, I feel that it's

1027
00:52:52.760 --> 00:52:55.719
<v Speaker 25>partially for him, it's for the fans. It's for the city.

1028
00:52:55.719 --> 00:52:58.039
<v Speaker 25>It's for the players. I love the energy that's coming out.

1029
00:52:58.079 --> 00:53:01.320
<v Speaker 25>But let's do this for Fernando. Whatever's going on. I

1030
00:53:01.360 --> 00:53:04.800
<v Speaker 25>know they're trying to keep it discreet, but it's really important.

1031
00:53:04.880 --> 00:53:08.000
<v Speaker 25>He did so much for this organization, for this city,

1032
00:53:08.159 --> 00:53:12.280
<v Speaker 25>for this fan base, and you know he's here.

1033
00:53:13.079 --> 00:53:14.039
<v Speaker 2>Hey, we hear you here.

1034
00:53:14.119 --> 00:53:15.280
<v Speaker 10>We got to hear him.

1035
00:53:15.360 --> 00:53:18.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Fernando is the man. He's the wind beneath the

1036
00:53:18.599 --> 00:53:22.280
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers wings right now spiritually, and he I'm sure he's

1037
