Speaker 3: and welcome to saxon Kates in the morning here on
Speaker 3: AM five seventy LA Sports. I am Tim Kats, joined
Speaker 3: by a two time World Series champion, former Dodger Rookie
Speaker 3: of the Year, your favorite Number three, Steve Sax Saxy,
Speaker 3: Good morning, Tim. How you doing buddy? Oh, Saxy, that's
Speaker 3: a loaded question right there, because we got a lot
Speaker 3: to get to in the next three hours and we
Speaker 3: wanted Dodger fans to be a part of it. At
Speaker 3: eight six, six, nine, eighty seven, two, five seventy two
Speaker 3: games happened over the weekend since we last talked, Saxy.
Speaker 3: The Dodgers came back in Game one in a thrilling
Speaker 3: seven to five win as the Dodgers jumped out to
Speaker 3: a one zero series lead. And then last night, last night,
Speaker 3: things unraveled on and off the field at Dodgers Stadium,
Speaker 3: an ugly scene in the seventh inning. So much to
Speaker 3: get into, but what were your initial thoughts after these
Speaker 3: first two games, especially last night what happened at a
Speaker 3: very live, evenly Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 5: Well, look, you can never you can never guess what's
Speaker 5: going to happen as far as all the dramas concerned,
Speaker 5: especially when these these two teams lock it up. You know,
Speaker 5: I thought the first game was just great, Dodgers come back,
Speaker 5: Bullpin shines and you know, the hitting is on display.
Speaker 3: And then in the second.
Speaker 5: Game you can just kind of feel that momentum change
Speaker 5: after Profar robs the home run. I mean, I thought,
Speaker 5: Mookie comes back, and you know, it puts the Dodgers
Speaker 5: right back in this game. Well they were, you know,
Speaker 5: just down one, but it just changed and flipped the
Speaker 5: momentum a little bit. But then Profar comes back with
Speaker 5: that smirk on his face, jumping up and down in
Speaker 5: front of the fans, rubbing it in their face, and
Speaker 5: he has the ball.
Speaker 3: He made a great play. I didn't like the.
Speaker 5: Body chemistry afterwards though, you know that kind of rubs
Speaker 5: people the wrong way. And it went down from there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot happened last night, from the first inning,
Speaker 3: Dodgers falling in a hole as you mentioned, Jerks and
Speaker 3: Profar robbing Mookie Betts of the home run over the
Speaker 3: short wall and left field. The Dodgers missed opportunity in
Speaker 3: the second inning, some great defense in the fourth again
Speaker 3: from Tatis and right field, which you know, Freddie Freeman
Speaker 3: could have had a double delede off the inning. Freddie
Speaker 3: Frieman leaves the game. Then you got the sixth inning
Speaker 3: back and forth between Flaherty and Manny Machado, and the
Speaker 3: seventh inning, of course you've got what happened with the
Speaker 3: fans out in the stands, in Jerks and Profar and
Speaker 3: Fernando Totis Junior. I think, as you mentioned, the home
Speaker 3: run changed everything, and the fact that many e for
Speaker 3: Nano Tatis Junior and Jerks and Profar certainly later in
Speaker 3: the game maybe instigated some things a little bit. But
Speaker 3: robbing him of the home run in the first inning,
Speaker 3: and the emotion at Dodgers Datium going from thinking it
Speaker 3: was a home run to still it being a Dodger deficit,
Speaker 3: the frustration, I think everything that's happened the last couple
Speaker 3: of years with the Dodgers losing early in the playoffs
Speaker 3: and Dodgers fans thoughts all year long sacks. He going
Speaker 3: into this postseason of like, oh no, is this gonna
Speaker 3: happen again? Three years in a row in the NLDS
Speaker 3: And to be down early, have a home run robbed,
Speaker 3: and then I think it was just downhill after that.
Speaker 3: I think the emotions and the frustration, not to condone anything,
Speaker 3: but the frustration of Dodger fans set in last night.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and there was there was just this undertone of
Speaker 5: a momentum shift. You know, the great ball that Tommy
Speaker 5: Edmond hit that was right to a rise that turned
Speaker 5: into a double play. That could have been, you know,
Speaker 5: a big one for the Dodgers too, And you know, hey, look,
Speaker 5: for the most part, you can't guide it. You know,
Speaker 5: you can only hit the ball hard, and you know
Speaker 5: where it goes is where it goes. But it just
Speaker 5: didn't happen for him on yesterday. But look, hey, look,
Speaker 5: if you sum the whole thing up, we still have
Speaker 5: a best of three and going down to San Diego,
Speaker 5: that's not friendly territory, and I certainly mean that is
Speaker 5: in the in the sports way, and it's gonna be
Speaker 5: a great battle, I think, and we're gonna see who's
Speaker 5: gonna shine more. But if the other team belts six
Speaker 5: home runs against your pitching staff, there's not much you
Speaker 5: can do, anybody can do if you're giving up six hrs.
Speaker 5: So that's just where it is right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, again, the Dodgers put themselves in a
Speaker 3: hole early with Jack Flaherty giving up the early run
Speaker 3: of the first, the Dodgers inability to get that home
Speaker 3: run because it's robbed by Jerkson Profar, then two more
Speaker 3: on the top of the second, all of a sudden
Speaker 3: before you blinking before some of the Dodger fans are
Speaker 3: even in their seats after getting their beers and not
Speaker 3: chosen hot dogs. It's a three nothing deficit again, Saxon,
Speaker 3: that's two games in a row, and it's one thing
Speaker 3: in the course of one hundred and sixty two games
Speaker 3: to be a team that's come from behind and to
Speaker 3: realize you've got twenty seven outs. It's a long game.
Speaker 3: But if you're in the postseason and now everything's magnified
Speaker 3: and we're talking about you know, out to out to
Speaker 3: out and bringing in relievers specialties, and it's it's such
Speaker 3: a tighter game. As you know, to fall behind three
Speaker 3: nothing constantly is a tough thing to ask your offense.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're you're going in dangerous territory. Then if you're
Speaker 5: constantly behind, you know, I mean, look at the stats
Speaker 5: that show the team that scores first is the one
Speaker 5: that you're usually going to win. And so you can't
Speaker 5: get yourself in a deficit. It throws a pitching out
Speaker 5: of whack and you're gonna start taxing your bullpen here too.
Speaker 5: So you know, the Dodgers got to get back to basics.
Speaker 5: They got to hit those spots with their pitchers. They
Speaker 5: got to get some usage out of those starters to
Speaker 5: go deeper in the game, so you don't just really,
Speaker 5: you know, rely on the bullpen the whole time. That's
Speaker 5: the way the game's developed is let those starters go
Speaker 5: as far as they can.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you, Darvius, for whatever reason has the Dodgers' numbers.
Speaker 3: Jack Feleriti last night gave up those three early runs,
Speaker 3: would give up one more, but what end up giving
Speaker 3: the Dodgers five and the third innings and you know,
Speaker 3: helped them out as much as possible the game. We're
Speaker 3: gonna get into so much over the next three hours,
Speaker 3: Dodger fans, we want you to beat a part of
Speaker 3: the show at eight sixty six nine, eight seven, two
Speaker 3: five seventy. Coming up in just a couple of minutes,
Speaker 3: we're gonna hear from Dave Roberts post game. Later on
Speaker 3: this hour, we're gonna hear from Manny Machado and Jack
Speaker 3: Fileriti on what happened between the two of them on
Speaker 3: and off the field. We'll look from Fernando Totis Junior
Speaker 3: later on, many Max Munsey later on, and Gavin Lux
Speaker 3: in the final hour. Jerry Harrison Junior from Sports in
Speaker 3: LA will join us in the eight o'clock hour as well.
Speaker 3: But a lot to unpack, a lot to digest from
Speaker 3: what happened last night, and we're gonna get to all
Speaker 3: of it, and we're gonna get to all of your
Speaker 3: reaction between now and nine o'clock this morning. But just
Speaker 3: kind of taking a piece by piece that Jerks and
Speaker 3: Profar robbed home run in the first city, Saxy. It
Speaker 3: it's a home run that could change the momentum in
Speaker 3: a blink, and it's all of a sudden, tied up
Speaker 3: one to one, Dodger fans are back into this game
Speaker 3: after falling behind one nothing and the air just kind
Speaker 3: of being sucked out of the stadium. Yeah, you're right
Speaker 3: back in it all. It's a whole new ballgame. Instead,
Speaker 3: Jerks and Profar robs Fred Mookie Bets of that home
Speaker 3: run and goes into the stadium the stands basically a
Speaker 3: row and a half deep to pull it out, and
Speaker 3: not one Dodger fan tries to knock it out of
Speaker 3: his glove once he goes into the stand. Saxy, it's
Speaker 3: free game.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: If that happens at Yankee Stadium, that happens. I know
Speaker 3: there's a wall at Wrigley, but you know if that
Speaker 3: happens somewhere else, Yeah, Boston. Yeah right, they're knocking.
Speaker 5: He may not come back with an arm, right right, right, Yeah,
Speaker 5: And that's not dirty, that's just it's part.
Speaker 3: Of the game.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: The thing, the thing that just kind of rubbed me
Speaker 5: the wrong way is that smirk on his face. Hey,
Speaker 5: it's it's all great though. I mean, you know what,
Speaker 5: he made a great play. Uh you know he said
Speaker 5: he always dreamed about doing that, but to do it
Speaker 5: in a playoff game was pretty done. Great and then
Speaker 5: to bounce up in front of everybody, and Mooki thought
Speaker 5: it was a home run until he came around second
Speaker 5: and and you know the playoff coverage you couldn't even
Speaker 5: see when he threw the ball back to the infield.
Speaker 3: No, he held that ball a long time.
Speaker 5: I mean he let Mooki run around the bases, you know,
Speaker 5: almost a third base before he throws it in.
Speaker 3: So I know that ticked people off.
Speaker 5: And that's that's kind of where this uh, you know,
Speaker 5: this momentum shift and you know the irking of all
Speaker 5: the fans had started right there.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, the frustration just mounted and kept snowballing and snowballing.
Speaker 3: But I tweeted out last night after it happened the video,
Speaker 3: and I said, come on, fans, I mean, he goes
Speaker 3: a row and a half deep into left field and
Speaker 3: you're ducking to get out of the way, and you're
Speaker 3: not going up trying to rob the ball or even
Speaker 3: preventing him from catching the ball. It's not like you
Speaker 3: win over the fence and interfered. I mean with the ball.
Speaker 5: If a fan jumps up and catches that in his
Speaker 5: seat before Profar gets it, that's that's legal, right.
Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely, yeah. Once the player goes into the stands
Speaker 3: and efforts to get a ball, it's fair game. You
Speaker 3: can go up and get it. You have every right
Speaker 3: to that ball as the player, because it's technically a
Speaker 3: home run if it's over that wall, even an imaginary wall,
Speaker 3: the wall is a short wall like it is in
Speaker 3: left field. You're not supposed to lean over and interfere
Speaker 3: with the play. You don't do that. But if it
Speaker 3: goes into the stands, that clearly was a row and
Speaker 3: a half in. We got people ducking, we got people
Speaker 3: holding onto their beers, we got nobody really with the
Speaker 3: glove that's making a solid effort to go get it.
Speaker 3: There needs to be a mob to go get that
Speaker 3: ball and make sure it's a home run.
Speaker 5: Yeah, if you were out there, I don't know if
Speaker 5: Profar would have came back.
Speaker 3: Right back to the field.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but can you imagine what's gonna be boiling up
Speaker 5: when we get down to San Diego. This is gonna
Speaker 5: be fantastic. This is this is what it's all about
Speaker 5: right here. There's nothing better than to have a rivalry.
Speaker 5: This rivalry was brewing back before I was playing, I mean,
Speaker 5: and then when I was playing in those years in
Speaker 5: the eighties and nineties, the rivalry was huge against the
Speaker 5: Padres and they were very tough to beat in San Diego.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the rivalry on and off the field, it is
Speaker 3: real right now between these two organizations as it goes
Speaker 3: back to San Diego for Game three tomorrow night, right
Speaker 3: here on a FI seventy LA Sports the robbery of
Speaker 3: the home run you mentioned in earlier, Tommy Edmonds hits
Speaker 3: a ball that if it gets past a rise into
Speaker 3: right field in the second inning with the bases loaded
Speaker 3: and then runners on first and third, it's a tie ball. Game,
Speaker 3: but instead he hits it right at him and then
Speaker 3: he doubles up the runner at first, eating over to
Speaker 3: tease Rob's Freeman of extra bases in right center. In
Speaker 3: the fourth inning, Freddy Freeman leaves the game. Of the
Speaker 3: fifth thinning, things just didn't break the Dodger's way, and
Speaker 3: then in the sixth thinning the frustration from the Dodgers
Speaker 3: kind of reached a point. Manny Machado uh not happy
Speaker 3: with Jack Flarity, Jack Flerity barking at Manny Machatto. They
Speaker 3: come back from TV after the the in between Indians
Speaker 3: and they're still barking at each other from the dugout
Speaker 3: and third base, looking like their mouthing like, let's meet
Speaker 3: in the parking lot. I mean things got asked that
Speaker 3: ever happened before Saxy were Yeah, you mouthed off to
Speaker 3: somebody said, hey, parking lot, let's go.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and then you know that nobody shows up. You know,
Speaker 5: but yeah, they talk about it. You know, your your
Speaker 5: your feelings and whatever. Get get bitten on a bit,
Speaker 5: so you're gonna say whatever you want to say at
Speaker 5: that moment in time.
Speaker 3: But I say, you know, forget the parking lot.
Speaker 5: You know, if if you really want it, that bad
Speaker 5: look in baseball. If you want somebody on the field,
Speaker 5: you can get them. You can get them whenever you want,
Speaker 5: right there. Uh and and so all that talk is just,
Speaker 5: you know, a bunch of that, just a bunch of bark.
Speaker 5: But I'll tell you what I mean. I like the
Speaker 5: I like the intensity. I like Flaharty with what I mean.
Speaker 5: You can only see this on TV when he was
Speaker 5: mouthing the words after he struck out Machado.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was great. And you know, I can't mention
Speaker 3: what he said, but if you were watching the game,
Speaker 3: you get it. And so that's real stuff. It's real drama.
Speaker 3: It's unedited, it's uncutt and it's real.
Speaker 5: And that's what I love about this.
Speaker 3: We're going to hear from both of them coming up
Speaker 3: a little bit later this hour after the game, what
Speaker 3: they had to say about it. It's interesting to hear
Speaker 3: the different sides of their back and forth. In the
Speaker 3: seventh inning, in between innings, things really unraveled. The ball
Speaker 3: gets thrown onto the field at Jerks and profar towards him.
Speaker 3: There's a ten minute delay. Security had to be brought
Speaker 3: onto the field. Dodger stadium was rocking. Certainly, frustrations were mounting.
Speaker 3: It's deep into a game, so certainly people have had
Speaker 3: a good time at Dodger statum, if you know what
Speaker 3: I mean, over the course of the previous six and
Speaker 3: a half innings, feeling good about themselves, but not feeling
Speaker 3: good about what's happening with their Dodgers team. And it
Speaker 3: doesn't help that you've got Fernando Tatist Junior in right
Speaker 3: field kind of instigating Dodger fans, playing along with Dodger fans,
Speaker 3: making faces at Dodgers fans. Now there's a video of
Speaker 3: him gyrating out in right field towards Dodgers fans. I mean,
Speaker 3: you're not helping the case if you're gonna complain about
Speaker 3: fans reacting. And certainly you never want to throw anything
Speaker 3: anything onto a field of play or a court in
Speaker 3: any instance. You're not supposed to do that at all.
Speaker 3: That is completely unacceptable. But if you're a player, the
Speaker 3: last thing you need to be doing is instigating what
Speaker 3: is happening out there on the field. And to me,
Speaker 3: that's what led this whole thing to continue for ten
Speaker 3: minutes long. And now you know, beer bottles or cups
Speaker 3: being thrown out in the field towards Tatis. It's because
Speaker 3: he kept the thing going saxy, Yeah he did.
Speaker 5: I mean the thing is, you know there's something, you know,
Speaker 5: if there's going to be you know, some dust up
Speaker 5: or if there's going to be close to a fight
Speaker 5: or whatever, you can bet your bottom dollar that it's
Speaker 5: going to be Tattoos and Machado. Those guys are gonna
Speaker 5: be in it. No way know how They're not going
Speaker 5: to be there. So it's not to be you know,
Speaker 5: it's not gonna be Jackson Merrill or it's not gonna
Speaker 5: be Higashioka or something like that. They're not. It's gonna
Speaker 5: be these two guys and the the they are there
Speaker 5: for that reason, and uh, you know they're they're both
Speaker 5: really good players. One of them is a cheater and
Speaker 5: the other one you know, is a really good player too,
Speaker 5: and you know what, sorry, but that's that's the Uh,
Speaker 5: that's the mental you're gonna carry.
Speaker 3: For your career if you're if you're a.
Speaker 5: Guy that's out there doing the roids and cheating, well,
Speaker 5: then you know what we're gonna acknowledge it.
Speaker 3: Absolutely. Let's hear from Dave Roberts post game last night.
Speaker 3: A lot of stuff happened between Mookie Betts having that
Speaker 3: home run Robin in the first, to the Dodgers coming
Speaker 3: close in the second, to what happened in the sixth,
Speaker 3: and certainly things escalating the seventh. Here's Dave Roberts post game.
Speaker 3: Let's get here what we had to say.
Speaker 6: We knew going into this series there's gonna be a
Speaker 6: lot of emotions, and you know, they just played a
Speaker 6: better baseball game than we did.
Speaker 7: Tonight, Skipper.
Speaker 8: We all know of the friction between these two clubs.
Speaker 8: How surprised are you that it went to that extent
Speaker 8: this evening.
Speaker 6: As far as the whole thing that transparred on the field, well, shoot,
Speaker 6: I've seen gosh, I've seen over a thousand games here,
Speaker 6: well over a thousand games in this ballpark, and I've
Speaker 6: never seen anything like that, And so obviously there's a
Speaker 6: lot of emotions and things like that. But that's something
Speaker 6: that should never happen. And I guess I really I
Speaker 6: was pretty naive to as far as the specifics, but
Speaker 6: I know that security handle the person that was involved
Speaker 6: as far as you know, throwing the baseball in the field,
Speaker 6: and you just never want to see that, and like
Speaker 6: I said, I've seen so many games at Tacher Stadium,
Speaker 6: and our fans are as good as any any that
Speaker 6: I've ever seen.
Speaker 9: They've with Freddy, Like, how concerning is it that, you know,
Speaker 9: obviously for the next month to try and keep them
Speaker 9: healthy without distinct kind of flowing up every now and then.
Speaker 6: It's it's sort of where we're at. It's not ideal,
Speaker 6: it is of concern, it's day to day and there's
Speaker 6: nothing else we can do about it. So I think
Speaker 6: that we have a workout uh tomorrow evening and then
Speaker 6: we'll just kind of see where he's at with treatment,
Speaker 6: and then once we get to uh Tuesday, we'll see
Speaker 6: how it feels and and then we'll do the same
Speaker 6: thing for game four. So again, yeah, it's it's not ideal,
Speaker 6: but I think this is what we're gonna have to
Speaker 6: be dealing with for the duration.
Speaker 9: And Aviously, you guys kind of bounced back yesterday after
Speaker 9: getting in that early hole, but how tough is it
Speaker 9: to keep kind of getting you down three four runs
Speaker 9: early on.
Speaker 6: It's it's it's uh, you know it certainly uh you know,
Speaker 6: Puts puts a little bit on the offense and you know,
Speaker 6: getting behind tonight, I thought that, you know, the Mookie
Speaker 6: ball that was robbed, the Tommy Edmond first and second
Speaker 6: base with one out double play right there. But that's baseball.
Speaker 6: I mean, I thought those are true good at bats.
Speaker 6: And I thought Freddie took a good at bat. We're
Speaker 6: down three to one, uh to lead off the third
Speaker 6: of the fourth inning, and Tatis makes a great play
Speaker 6: which could have been a double, which could have potentially
Speaker 6: cut into the lead. So but again, those guys made
Speaker 6: defensive plays and then they tacked on when they needed to.
Speaker 6: So now it's a three game series. They played better,
Speaker 6: but you know, we got to catch a lead too,
Speaker 6: all right.
Speaker 3: There's Dave Roberts, Yeah, and they got to get out
Speaker 3: to a better start. And he's right. Dodgers had a
Speaker 3: couple of great opportunities, and in those instances of sacksually
Speaker 3: when a defensive guy makes a great play to tease
Speaker 3: and Wright, you know, leaping out like a ballerina out
Speaker 3: there making a great catch to rob Freddie Freeman of
Speaker 3: a possible extra base hits to lead off the fourth inning.
Speaker 3: They mentioned the Tommy Emmon line driving the second that
Speaker 3: could have tied the game if all ball gets passed
Speaker 3: a rise and down in the right field corner. Should
Speaker 3: have would it could have? But you know it is baseball,
Speaker 3: right yet sometimes you just hit the gup ball right
Speaker 3: at somebody.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can't. You can't guide it. And you know, look,
Speaker 5: we can talk and analyze this game, that's why we're here.
Speaker 5: But I guarantee you down in the Dodger dug out,
Speaker 5: they're not doing that. They're saying, Okay, this is one game.
Speaker 5: You lose it, you lose by eight runs. So what
Speaker 5: it's just one game. Let them let him bang out
Speaker 5: all their hits now and that one game. And look,
Speaker 5: I guarantee you there's gonna be times where this team,
Speaker 5: maybe not collectively as a whole unit, but there's gonna
Speaker 5: be guys in this team that aren't gonna be hitting
Speaker 5: six home runs every time they you know, go through
Speaker 5: the game.
Speaker 3: That's not gonna happen.
Speaker 5: So they're gonna they're gonna reach some times where they're
Speaker 5: gonna be struggling too. That's just the nature of baseball.
Speaker 5: And that's what the Dodgers got to capitalize on. You know,
Speaker 5: hit those spots as of pitchers and make the plays
Speaker 5: defensively and let the talent speak for itself. This Dodger
Speaker 5: lineup is absolutely stacked. You think this this uh pitching
Speaker 5: staff's gonna hold lot tany down or you know the
Speaker 5: rest of this team is not gonna happen. The Dodgers
Speaker 5: are gonna have their time too.
Speaker 3: He is Steve Sacks, I am Tim Kates and Saxon
Speaker 3: Kates and the am Thanks for being with us here
Speaker 3: on this Monday morning. A lot to unpack, a lot
Speaker 3: to unravel, and what happened last night in Game two
Speaker 3: of this nl DS and we got plenty of time
Speaker 3: to take your phone calls. We want your reaction, We
Speaker 3: want your thoughts on what happened last night at Dodgers
Speaker 3: Stadium and this series now tied at a game of
Speaker 3: piece heading into Petco Park in San Diego eight six
Speaker 3: six nine eighty seven two five seventy eight six six
Speaker 3: nine eight seven two five seventy. You heard from Dave
Speaker 3: Roberts coming up. We're gonna hear from Jack Flaherty Manny
Speaker 3: Machado later on Max Monse Cavin Luck. Certainly a lot
Speaker 3: of frustration from Dodger players. You saw the frustration over
Speaker 3: the top last night from Dodger fans, We're gonna get
Speaker 3: into it all and we want you to be a
Speaker 3: part of it again. Eight sixty six, nine eighty seven
Speaker 3: two five seventy it's Saxon Kates and the am in
Speaker 3: for Dan Patrick. Well you can hear on the iHeartRadio
Speaker 3: app as the Dodgers and Padres are all knotted up
Speaker 3: at one and the best of five n LTS. Saxon
Speaker 3: Kates in am am five to seventy LA Sports, thanks
Speaker 3: for being with us on this Monday morning and as
Speaker 3: react to what happened last night at Dodgers Stadium, Dodgers
Speaker 3: dropping Game two of the NLDS. This series tied up
Speaker 3: at a game of piece off day today as both
Speaker 3: teams will head to Petco Park and work out later
Speaker 3: on this afternoon came three tomorrow night, right here on
Speaker 3: a five to seventy LA sports. First pitch at six eight,
Speaker 3: we'll have Dodgers on deck at five o'clock. Padres bounced
Speaker 3: back and tie the series up with they tended to
Speaker 3: win last night. They scored three runs in the eight,
Speaker 3: three more in the ninth to really put the next
Speaker 3: clamation point on this win last night for them, But
Speaker 3: things really unraveled in the sixth inning and then got
Speaker 3: out of control in the seventh inning with fans throwing
Speaker 3: baseballs and trash onto the field in the left field
Speaker 3: and right field pavilion. You cannot do that, Dodger fans.
Speaker 3: That is a no note, something you cannot be doing
Speaker 3: as a spectator at a game. Certainly, the Padre players
Speaker 3: probably didn't help the cause as things were escalating there
Speaker 3: between innings in the seventh. But we go to Goose
Speaker 3: sixth inning last night, Saxee, and things kind of started
Speaker 3: to boil up. Then the frustration and the emotion of
Speaker 3: the game and what still was a four to one
Speaker 3: game at that point. As the Dodgers got out of
Speaker 3: the top half of the sixth inning, Jack Fleriti in
Speaker 3: the top of the inning hit Fernando to Tis Junior,
Speaker 3: who in his first couple of bats went deep against Flarity,
Speaker 3: hit the ball hard against him. He hits him in
Speaker 3: a three to one game, and the Padres bench started
Speaker 3: barking out at Flerity. Man Machado had something to say,
Speaker 3: First of all, they're not hitting for Fernando Totis Junior
Speaker 3: on purpose in a three to one game, even though
Speaker 3: he's done damage against him. The last thing you want
Speaker 3: to do is put another runner on base.
Speaker 5: Right, of course, they're not trying to hit him in
Speaker 5: that situation. This is a playoff game. I mean, the
Speaker 5: game is still within reach day. You're not gonna do
Speaker 5: anything like that. So, you know, the the underlying, the
Speaker 5: whole thing for this is these these guys don't like
Speaker 5: each other. Let's just face it, you know, And so
Speaker 5: anything like this happens, they're gonna look for the bad
Speaker 5: stuff in it or try to extend this out to
Speaker 5: something more than it is. And people get hit all
Speaker 5: the time, so I'm sure he wasn't trying to hit him.
Speaker 3: In today's game, guys overreact when you pitch in on them.
Speaker 3: Profar based on a bunt, which is a good job
Speaker 3: by him to get the Dodgers off guard and with
Speaker 3: nobody out first and second, a battle really between Jack
Speaker 3: Flarity and Manny Machado, and Flerity wins the matchup. He
Speaker 3: strikes him out on a ball that was probably ball
Speaker 3: four out of the zone and he gets a swing
Speaker 3: and miss, and he's fired up about it, and the
Speaker 3: Padres bench starts back at barking back at Flerity. Bonda
Speaker 3: comes in gives up a run. All right, They get
Speaker 3: out of the inning, and in between innings, Manny Machado
Speaker 3: goes to third and Jack Flerty from the bench, are
Speaker 3: barking back and forth at each other, and you can
Speaker 3: tell that their mouthing, Hey, let's go meet in the
Speaker 3: parking lot, and Maitar's like, all right, you want to
Speaker 3: go meet in the parking lot. They're pointing to where
Speaker 3: the parking lot is, like okay, this is just like
Speaker 3: the Brewers Mets, you know series the week before, and
Speaker 3: things escalated there and then the seventh inning really took off.
Speaker 3: But let's hear from both after the game last night. First,
Speaker 3: Jack Flerity, Dodger right hander, on what happened last night
Speaker 3: with Manny Machado.
Speaker 10: There's a lot to say an well, first is that
Speaker 10: fans like you should never get involved. There's no reason,
Speaker 10: there's no need, no ever to throw anything at players
Speaker 10: no matter what's going on, there's no reason to get
Speaker 10: involved with it. Stay out of it. Then whatever went
Speaker 10: on over there, they have every reason to be upset
Speaker 10: about it, Like nobody we should never feel like we're
Speaker 10: we're gonna get anything thrown at us on either side.
Speaker 10: So fans should never should never never be involved, you know.
Speaker 10: They they didn't like to pitch the tattoos. I look,
Speaker 10: I missed in the first inning and I threw the
Speaker 10: ball over the middle. I wasn't gonna miss over the
Speaker 10: plate again. But I've got no reason to hit a
Speaker 10: guyther to start off the six like as good as
Speaker 10: he's been swinging the bat, but we're down in the game.
Speaker 10: I'm trying to go in for effect and he didn't
Speaker 10: get out of the way it hit him and wasn't
Speaker 10: didn't try to go and hit him to try to
Speaker 10: lead off an inning or anything like that. That that
Speaker 10: doesn't really make sense. He didn't go up near his head, nothing,
Speaker 10: just trying to push a guy off the plate. Even
Speaker 10: by the way sometimes it happens, they're upset about it,
Speaker 10: you know, that's part of it. Was fired up after
Speaker 10: getting Manny out was a big spot in the playoffs,
Speaker 10: you know, that's that's that's what happens, like that was
Speaker 10: fired up, like oh well, and then yeah, you know,
Speaker 10: he he did some ships where decided to throw the
Speaker 10: ball at our dugout and everybody kind of catches the
Speaker 10: tail end of it, which is me and him going
Speaker 10: at it, but like I was sitting there for my team, wasn't.
Speaker 10: I wasn't there to go at him, but you know,
Speaker 10: he go was throw the ball and our at our
Speaker 10: dugout and the umpires one went over immediately to tell like,
Speaker 10: I don't know what their conversation was, but our dug
Speaker 10: out was fired up because there ain't no reason for that.
Speaker 10: Everybody caught the tail end of everybody caught just me
Speaker 10: and him going at it like he's a great player.
Speaker 10: Like you know, I understand everybody. It's postseason. Everybody's fired up.
Speaker 10: They get upset, like frustrated about pitching in to tease,
Speaker 10: like like I said, you know, you gotta you gotta
Speaker 10: be able to pitch him in, and I miss it
Speaker 10: in the first sitting and I wasn't gonna miss over
Speaker 10: the plate again just trying to go in for a tract.
Speaker 10: So there's a lot that happened there. But you know,
Speaker 10: some of the fans stay out of it, and uh,
Speaker 10: you know, I've always just got to play better. But
Speaker 10: you know it's, uh, you know, sometimes emotions run high
Speaker 10: in this game and you just just go out and
Speaker 10: you know you gotta recreep and you go get the next.
Speaker 3: One, all right, so something happened. He throws a ball
Speaker 3: towards the Dodgers dugout again, instigating and fueling the fire
Speaker 3: in that incident is Manny Machado and the Podrays. And
Speaker 3: that's what you see coming back on tving. If you're
Speaker 3: at the game, you're you're seeing Jack Fleerry on the
Speaker 3: top step barking at Manny Machado and they're going back
Speaker 3: and forth and again instigated by players. Probably shouldn't have been,
Speaker 3: but the emotions getting the best of everybody's sexy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's just the way it is in the playoffs.
Speaker 5: It's uh, I like the spiciness of it, you know,
Speaker 5: it's it's kind of good. But look at you know
Speaker 5: the other thing that we're talking about. Let's meet in
Speaker 5: the Let's meet in the parking lot. Have you ever
Speaker 5: been in the Dodger parking lot after the game? You
Speaker 5: can't even drive out of it. I mean, come on,
Speaker 5: you can't fight there. I mean, it's not gonna happen.
Speaker 3: No, there's no room, there's no no to even get
Speaker 3: any fisticuffs in the parking lot. And there's something else
Speaker 3: he said there sexy was I'm just trying to throw
Speaker 3: inside on Fernando Tatis. And maybe it's a lost art,
Speaker 3: maybe it's not taught. Maybe pitchers are scared to do
Speaker 3: it in twenty twenty four. But getting guys to move
Speaker 3: their feet, so to speak, in the box, letting a
Speaker 3: guy get too comfortable in a box against you, whether
Speaker 3: it's in a game, in a series, over the course
Speaker 3: of his career. You have to get a guy uncomfortable
Speaker 3: in there. If he's too comfortable in getting swing after
Speaker 3: a string against you and hitting the ball one hundred
Speaker 3: and fourteen miles off of you in the left field
Speaker 3: on a line drive for a double or a home
Speaker 3: run that's four hundred and fifty feet, you have to
Speaker 3: make it uncomfortable not hitting him, but you gotta be
Speaker 3: able to throw on the inside part of the plate.
Speaker 5: Look, Timmy, look we have a wimp factor in baseball today.
Speaker 5: There's a wimp out of the American sportsman today. And hey,
Speaker 5: you can look out in other sports too. Thank God
Speaker 5: for hockey and boxing. You know, that's all I gotta say.
Speaker 5: I mean, football, you have to negotiate a guy when
Speaker 5: he goes out of bounds today, if he's taken a
Speaker 5: kickoff down the sideline in baseball, you can't engage the
Speaker 5: catcher anymore. Can't run into the shortstop or second basement.
Speaker 5: Oh no, somebody might get hurt. And so now you
Speaker 5: can't even pitch inside. I mean, I wish that you
Speaker 5: couldn't pitch inside when I was playing. That would have
Speaker 5: been a nice you know, that would have been a
Speaker 5: nice luxury to have. They can't pitch inside. That's part
Speaker 5: of the cat and mouse game between the pitcher and catcher.
Speaker 5: You got to be able to move that hitter's feet
Speaker 5: at times. And look me, as from a hitter standpoint,
Speaker 5: I don't think it's fair to the pitcher.
Speaker 3: And I'm just calling it like I see it.
Speaker 5: You got to be able to back that guy, you know,
Speaker 5: throwing it the heads different and Jack didn't do that,
Speaker 5: and he just, you know, he threw it low enough.
Speaker 5: And if you know, I'm sure Manny understands that. But
Speaker 5: that art is gone in baseball today.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I heard David Vasseay on Dodger Talk last night
Speaker 3: talking about this and he referenced it and it was
Speaker 3: a great point. In twenty thirteen, the Dodgers were playing
Speaker 3: the Saint Louis Cardinals in the playoffs and Joe Kelly
Speaker 3: drilled Handley Ramirez in the ribs and it affected Ramirez
Speaker 3: the rest of the series, and it really affected the
Speaker 3: Dodgers ended up losing that series to the same was Cardinals,
Speaker 3: and they did it because Hanley was tormenting the Saint
Speaker 3: Louis Cardinals and it was a message being sent that
Speaker 3: we're not afraid to throw the ball inside and if
Speaker 3: it hits you, it hits you, and it can be
Speaker 3: a mental thing. I mean, now Fernando Totiz Junior is thinking, Okay,
Speaker 3: I'm not as comfortable in the box. I'm not just
Speaker 3: gonna unload like its home run derby against Dodger pitching.
Speaker 3: He now has to start thinking a little bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I mean, you put you put it in in somebody's head,
Speaker 5: the fear that you might get hit or whatever. It's
Speaker 5: gonna take away from his skill set somewhat. I mean,
Speaker 5: even even in other sports. I remember in basketball, you
Speaker 5: remember the Kings and the Lakers had some tremendous rivals.
Speaker 3: Yeah, or didn't they?
Speaker 5: And I had season tickets here and I'm telling you
Speaker 5: they were great and they they even said at the game.
Speaker 5: You remember page of Soyakovich, he's a long range bomber
Speaker 5: and he could hit from way out there. You knock
Speaker 5: him on his can early in the game and he's
Speaker 5: not going to be a factor. And I remember the
Speaker 5: Lakers did that. They kind of roughed him up a
Speaker 5: little bit, knock him down in the first quarter. He
Speaker 5: was you know, he might have scored eight points or something.
Speaker 5: He was not the same shooter as he was if
Speaker 5: you leave him alone. So same thing in other sports,
Speaker 5: same thing here in baseball. You knock a guy off,
Speaker 5: you know, make him hit him once or make him
Speaker 5: back off the play a little bit, it's not going
Speaker 5: to be as effective.
Speaker 3: So you heard from Jack Hilarity on the incident with
Speaker 3: Manny Machado and the sixth ending. Let's hear from Manny
Speaker 3: himself postgame last night.
Speaker 11: Yeah, man, he made some good pitches, right, he made
Speaker 11: call He pitches got me, got me going. And you
Speaker 11: know he won that competition, right, you know, made his pitches.
Speaker 11: I couldn't deliver with with with that situation there want
Speaker 11: to run as a first and second no outs, right,
Speaker 11: you know, so he won. Now for sure, what you
Speaker 11: guys seeing Mitchilla just going back and forth competition, right,
Speaker 11: I mean things that happened in between the lines. People
Speaker 11: people were just going going, going back and forth. You know,
Speaker 11: he's he's competing for Heady ball Club and I'm trying
Speaker 11: to trying to get a play hit for my team.
Speaker 11: So yeah, man, I mean this is this is the
Speaker 11: beauty of post season baseball.
Speaker 3: I man, did you take exception with something he said
Speaker 3: to you?
Speaker 11: No? I mean I didn't even see it. I didn't
Speaker 11: eve see it until happened until my my, my doug
Speaker 11: outs started started screaming back at him. So I mean
Speaker 11: he woned. Man, he made he made his pitches. I
Speaker 11: swung at a ball for you know, he got me
Speaker 11: twice today, and you know, I you.
Speaker 1: Know, I said, my cat.
Speaker 11: You know when when credits doing, I kept walking, you
Speaker 11: made his pitch.
Speaker 3: I kept going.
Speaker 11: But you know, I then I get to the end
Speaker 11: of the dug and I see my my team starts
Speaker 11: starts starts sparking. So you know that's kind of when
Speaker 11: I figured, you know something, he was probably saying something.
Speaker 11: And you know that's when everything kind of just went
Speaker 11: out and I didn't really know what was going on.
Speaker 3: You guys, when you went back out for the field.
Speaker 3: You were still going at it when Jack was in
Speaker 3: the dug out.
Speaker 8: What was being said there almost stuff like it was challenging.
Speaker 11: I mean, I mean, I mean, honestly, I mean, I mean,
Speaker 11: you can't really hear this with this crowd, so I
Speaker 11: don't really know what was going was ring said a
Speaker 11: bunch of gibbers going back and forth, and you know,
Speaker 11: just uh, you know, I was alonging for us after
Speaker 11: that with with balls being thrown and you know, kind
Speaker 11: of like seeing our pitch as a picture there a
Speaker 11: little bit, and you know, I was coming out and
Speaker 11: then having that that zero was huge for us as well.
Speaker 11: So yeah, man, it's it's, it's it's it's a beautiful
Speaker 11: thing to be playing post season baseball.
Speaker 3: Uh, there's a more mature Many and John than he
Speaker 3: was ten years ago. Sexy because I think ten years ago,
Speaker 3: Manny Machado is still upset, still emotionally involved about what
Speaker 3: happened in the sixth inning and harping on it and
Speaker 3: maybe continuing it. But last night they get to win.
Speaker 3: He realized he got you know, struck out by flarity
Speaker 3: there and said all the right things there as far
Speaker 3: as maturity is concerned.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and and and you know what, even even what
Speaker 5: I'm about to say, now you're gonna go what. But
Speaker 5: I'm telling you if Flarity and Many were stuck in
Speaker 5: a in a restaurant for some reason and they had
Speaker 5: to sit at the same table, I guarantee you they
Speaker 5: would they would not be at each other's throats.
Speaker 3: They they would.
Speaker 5: Get along fine.
Speaker 3: I mean, I really believe that.
Speaker 5: I mean this, that's but that's the great thing about
Speaker 5: playoff baseball is, man, he can take you from that
Speaker 5: from a civil you know, conversation you could be having
Speaker 5: to somebody to you know, you want to just tear
Speaker 5: him up. And that's the emotion that spurs on what
Speaker 5: we get to watch as fans to something that's really fantastic.
Speaker 5: So I just think it's great. I love it. I
Speaker 5: hope they keep doing it like this because the fevered
Speaker 5: pitch that we get to experience is you know, is
Speaker 5: a real thing, and it's real on the field too.
Speaker 3: I don't want to condone what the Dodger fans did
Speaker 3: last night in left field and right Philip Pavilions at all.
Speaker 3: But as you're saying that, Saxony, I'm thinking, you know,
Speaker 3: the emotion of the game guys barking back and forth.
Speaker 3: That's all either on the field or between the lines,
Speaker 3: just between the two teams. And certainly when the third party,
Speaker 3: the audience so to speak, starts getting involved with the play,
Speaker 3: the fans start getting involved with the game, that's where
Speaker 3: you're crossing that line, no doubt about it. But you
Speaker 3: cannot be on the field as a player and antagonizing
Speaker 3: the fans, you know what I mean. You can't carry
Speaker 3: You can't be that player who's making gestures at fans
Speaker 3: and mouthing things at fans and making teardrop emojis or
Speaker 3: reactions on your face to fans out there because you're
Speaker 3: instigating it. Yeah, not to say you have to be
Speaker 3: a robot out there, but you sort of have to
Speaker 3: be right as a professional athlete. You know you're gonna
Speaker 3: get the incoming. It's part of it. Things get said
Speaker 3: which are probably not right, but you can't go back
Speaker 3: and forth with it and expect nothing to happen. And
Speaker 3: some guys thrive on it.
Speaker 5: I mean, I can tell you at this team thrives
Speaker 5: on in sandyeg especially tattoos. He loves it more than anything.
Speaker 5: He likes that attention and whatnot. Hey, one time in
Speaker 5: Saint Louis, I struck out, and this is postseason game.
Speaker 5: I struck out walking back to the dugout and a
Speaker 5: guy dumped a beer on me. Okay, and I did
Speaker 5: you go to the stands and find Yeah, I was
Speaker 5: going in the stands, climbing up the rail and they
Speaker 5: grabbed my spike and pulled him back. But the guy
Speaker 5: they actually the guy. They found the guy who tried
Speaker 5: to escape the stadium. They found the guy and they
Speaker 5: prosecuted him and he got in trouble, so that that
Speaker 5: was a good thing. So wait, you were really gonna
Speaker 5: go into the stands. Oh, yeah, I was. You can
Speaker 5: check it out on YouTube. I'm sure I saw it
Speaker 5: once on the internet. But yeah, I was definitely gonna.
Speaker 5: I was climbing up the dugout and I would if
Speaker 5: I would have grabbed that guy.
Speaker 3: Oh man, I.
Speaker 5: Don't know what I've done to him, But you throw
Speaker 5: a First of all, it's embarrassing to strike out. You
Speaker 5: throw a beer on me, that is the most That
Speaker 5: is the worst thing you could do to somebody is
Speaker 5: throw a beer on him when you're you know, contemplating
Speaker 5: how horrible you are yourself, when you strike out, you
Speaker 5: get hit with a beer, it's over.
Speaker 3: I'm reading right here from the La Times. No charges,
Speaker 3: after all, will be filed against the auto dealer who
Speaker 3: dowbs believe that in Saint Louis.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't believe that he got in trouble. So
Speaker 5: but there you go. He did dows me. I remember
Speaker 5: he was a car dealer. Yeah, he should have gave
Speaker 5: me a car. That's what I think.
Speaker 3: Oh, it's it's only right. Yeah, let's go out to
Speaker 3: Richard and Gino. Richard as we react to what happened
Speaker 3: last night at Dodger Stadium as the series is tied
Speaker 3: up at a game at peace. Good morning, Richard, Good
Speaker 3: morning guys.
Speaker 7: How you doing good?
Speaker 3: Richard?
Speaker 7: Hey, I just want to say, you know what the
Speaker 7: game aside, you know, kind of disappointed and Dodger fans
Speaker 7: are reaction and they shouldn't be doing that. Just a
Speaker 7: really quick story. I took the family on a trip
Speaker 7: to the East Coast this past summer. We went to
Speaker 7: five different stadiums, all decked out in our Dodger gear,
Speaker 7: and we never had one bad word set to us
Speaker 7: in any of the stadiums. It was more of a
Speaker 7: welcoming type of thing. Everyone is friendly to us, whether
Speaker 7: we're wearing our Dodger gear, and we had a great time,
Speaker 7: and you know, kind of disappointed to be a Dodger
Speaker 7: fan right now. But believe it or not, I have faith.
Speaker 7: I think we're gonna do it, and we're gonna We're
Speaker 7: gonna take this series.
Speaker 3: I promise, all right, Richard, appreciate the phone call. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's it was not a pretty scene at a Dodger
Speaker 3: stadium last night. It wasn't the best moment for Dodger
Speaker 3: fans in the history of this organization. Uh, to see
Speaker 3: what happened last night and how things escalated as they did,
Speaker 3: I don't condone it. I can certainly understand the frustration, though,
Speaker 3: and I want to make sure we just keep I
Speaker 3: keep saying that because I get it. I understand the
Speaker 3: frustration of the last three years of Dodger fans and
Speaker 3: the early exits in the postseason. To see this Dodger
Speaker 3: team up one ozer in this series, but then down
Speaker 3: three night, to see a home run rob to see
Speaker 3: the players going back and forth with a tease, getting
Speaker 3: hurt a hit, and the Machado and Flerty going back
Speaker 3: and forth. I get it. I understand the frustration, and
Speaker 3: the players did not help the cause in left field
Speaker 3: and right field. At one point, I think Profar went
Speaker 3: and gave that fan in left field who didn't rob
Speaker 3: the home run from a Profar he game a ball.
Speaker 3: He threw it back on the field in fun between
Speaker 3: the two of them, and that's when things really started
Speaker 3: to escalate. Last Yeah, and you you don't.
Speaker 5: Want things to be thrown on the field. I know
Speaker 5: what you're saying about the you know the level of
Speaker 5: frustration that we're feeling, especially and when you're looking at
Speaker 5: the two teams too, I mean, you're gonna make start
Speaker 5: comparisons between the two. The top of our order was
Speaker 5: zero for ten, theirs was six for thirteen, and that's
Speaker 5: where the damage was done. And we're gonna count on
Speaker 5: those guys. We're gonna count on Otani, Betts and Freeman
Speaker 5: to do that damage. But like I said, hey, it's
Speaker 5: only one game, man, It's just one game. Now, we
Speaker 5: have a best of three series. It's gonna be down
Speaker 5: in San Diego. We're gonna really see what the Dodgers
Speaker 5: are made of right here. And I think this team
Speaker 5: can do it, not just because I was a former Dodger.
Speaker 5: We're here talking, but this team is bubbling and ready
Speaker 5: to go.
Speaker 3: Eight sixty six nine eighty seven two five seventy is
Speaker 3: our number. You got a couple of line doping if
Speaker 3: you want to jump on board. Dodger fans as react
Speaker 3: here on this Monday morning to the Dodgers and Padres
Speaker 3: being tied at a game of piece. What happened last
Speaker 3: night at Dodgers Stadium, from the first inning home run
Speaker 3: robbery from Jerks and Profar, to the sixth inning back
Speaker 3: and forth between Machado and Flaherty, to how things escalated
Speaker 3: unfortunately in the seventh inning in the left field and
Speaker 3: right field pavilions. We're here to talk about it. We're
Speaker 3: here to get that frustration out of your system. It's
Speaker 3: time to clean the soul. Let's cleanse it together. Twenty
Speaker 3: four hour rule. Frustrated, talk about it, get it out,
Speaker 3: and get ready for Game three tomorrow night. Eight six
Speaker 3: six nine eighty seven two five seventy. He is Steve Sacks,
Speaker 3: I'm Tim Kats. Thanks for being with us here on
Speaker 3: a NI seventy LA Sports Sax and Kates and am
Speaker 3: here on this Monday morning, October seventh. Thanks for being
Speaker 3: with us in for Dan and the Dan NAT so
Speaker 3: you can listen to on the iHeartRadio app. We're live
Speaker 3: in local here on a FFI seventy LA Sports. You're
Speaker 3: a home of shoey Otani. In the Dodgers Game three
Speaker 3: the NLDS is Tuesday night in San Diego's. This series
Speaker 3: is tied up at a game of peace. Walker Bueller
Speaker 3: will be the starter for the Dodgers in Game three.
Speaker 3: Dodgers won the Game one on Saturday night, coming back
Speaker 3: and winning seven to five. They dropped game to last
Speaker 3: night ten to two in a game that really escalated
Speaker 3: and kind of got out of control in the seventh
Speaker 3: inning on and off the field as the Dodgers fans
Speaker 3: lose their edge and they're cool and the Dodgers loss,
Speaker 3: and I think they're frustration mounting over the last couple
Speaker 3: of you're certainly the frustration mounting last night with the
Speaker 3: way the Dodgers inability to score. Saxon and I don't
Speaker 3: want to point fingers at anybody in particular, but I
Speaker 3: am going to point the finger of Mookie Betts, who
Speaker 3: is now OH for this NLDS. And Mookie Bets, if
Speaker 3: you look back over the course of the last couple
Speaker 3: of postseasons. Oh, for his last twenty two in the postseason.
Speaker 3: I get it. It could have changed last night with
Speaker 3: that home run that was brought back by Jerks and Profar,
Speaker 3: but it wasn't. And the fact that it was robbed,
Speaker 3: I think then compounded the issue with him being even
Speaker 3: more frustrated. I think Dodger fans on top of it,
Speaker 3: putting the pressure on him because they're frustrated with him.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think overall it's two or three for
Speaker 5: forty four or something like that, and so so look,
Speaker 5: it almost seems like it's not real for Mookie Betts
Speaker 5: to have forty something at bat forty four at bets
Speaker 5: and have two hits.
Speaker 3: I mean, how could that possibly be.
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, the guy is not like he's
Speaker 5: you know, a bi heavy dude that can't run. You
Speaker 5: figure that he could just you know, have a few
Speaker 5: infield hits or whatever that would just happen. It's just, uh,
Speaker 5: it's just the way it's been in the postseason for him.
Speaker 5: But he can change it, you know, he can turn
Speaker 5: this thing around. But Mooki is a kind of a
Speaker 5: player that can carry a team just like Show Hey can,
Speaker 5: just like Freddie Freeman can. They've got guys on the
Speaker 5: top of that order that can do it a lot themselves,
Speaker 5: and he's more than capable of doing it. You know,
Speaker 5: you don't know why some of this it happens in
Speaker 5: postseason where guys just don't perform the way they do
Speaker 5: in the regular season. There's nothing that's different about it.
Speaker 5: It's it's kind of just, uh, it's just the way
Speaker 5: it's been.
Speaker 3: Isn't a thing you think. I think it.
Speaker 5: I think some of it can you know, kind of
Speaker 5: creep into your psyche and uh and get to you.
Speaker 5: But I think the thing is, you got to go
Speaker 5: back to the oak cliche. What is the old cliche?
Speaker 5: Just go back to basics.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 5: You know, while you're there, they're paying the dude well
Speaker 5: over three hundred million bucks because he is special, special,
Speaker 5: special player, and and Mooki is a fin phenomenal athlete.
Speaker 5: And you stand next to the guy. He's not a
Speaker 5: big dude. I mean, he's like maybe five eight one seventy,
Speaker 5: but he has got some kind of talent. And I
Speaker 5: just think, like I said before, that the Tiger's going
Speaker 5: to bust out of the cage, and I will stand
Speaker 5: by that. I think it's going to happen for Mookie.
Speaker 5: He he's the kind of guy that can carry the
Speaker 5: team throughout and up through the World Series.
Speaker 3: It's going to JJ and Beaumont joins us here on
Speaker 3: m five seventy LA Sports. Hi, JJ, good morning.
Speaker 12: A little bit frustated everybody else is, but uh, you know,
Speaker 12: I'm still a Dodgers fan. Will always be a Dodgers
Speaker 12: fan no matter what. And uh, mistack there hit on
Speaker 12: the moviie. He's gonna slamp take some hints from Pete Rose,
Speaker 12: you know, I mean, stands going to do something. But yeah,
Speaker 12: he had to change that. You gotta be positive about it.
Speaker 12: Do not blame Dave Roberts. He's not in it hitting
Speaker 12: the ball. He's just put the players in the right
Speaker 12: position at the right time.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Surprisingly, thanks for the phone call, JJ, Surprisingly, Saxy
Speaker 3: not seeing a lot of fingers point out to Dave Robbers,
Speaker 3: which is usually the first person people want to point
Speaker 3: fingers at.
Speaker 5: Well, the Dodgers win the first game in impress the
Speaker 5: fashion they come back and the second game, you know
Speaker 5: it's easier. You can't point the fingers at the manager.
Speaker 5: When the other team hits six homers. I mean, right, really,
Speaker 5: come on, what are you gonna do? What's they gonna do?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 3: You know, will that one down so it doesn't go
Speaker 3: out of the park. I mean, nothing you can do
Speaker 3: about it.
Speaker 5: But you know, actually, hey, it's almost better when it's
Speaker 5: a blowout, you know what I mean. It wasn't a
Speaker 5: finger yeah, I think, so let them shoot all their
Speaker 5: guns off. And believe me, I know how this game.
Speaker 5: I know how this game goes in cycles. And nobody's
Speaker 5: gonna stay at the top the whole time. You're gonna
Speaker 5: have downturns. And there's a reason that the Dodgers finished
Speaker 5: in front of the Padres in the regular season. You know,
Speaker 5: but I do think that these are two probably the
Speaker 5: two best teams in the National League going at it.
Speaker 3: Let's go, let's go to Rob in Manhattan Beach next
Speaker 3: up here on Saxon Kate's and am hi Rob?
Speaker 1: Are you doing hey great? Great? Wide awake? And I'm
Speaker 1: glad to listen to you and taking my call? Three
Speaker 1: things real quick? You know something, I listened to the
Speaker 1: game on five seventy last night, I think Monday and
Speaker 1: Nelson did a wonderful job, as useful as usual, and
Speaker 1: also was very responsible on their coverage of those antics
Speaker 1: in the outfield. And then the second thing is I
Speaker 1: got to give a shout out to a hero of
Speaker 1: my childhood, Juan Marichale, great Dodger, also a wonderful San
Speaker 1: Francisco Giant. And all I can say is it's glad
Speaker 1: it wasn't Wan Mayrochelle that night, because for a pitcher
Speaker 1: he could swing a bat is who may know? And
Speaker 1: then the third thing is really quick the whoever the
Speaker 1: people it can be identified for, Well, you could throw
Speaker 1: a ball back into the field. That's one thing. Throwing
Speaker 1: the water bottles. When I was a kid, they used
Speaker 1: to throw beer bottles and key is our stadium. It
Speaker 1: was more interesting than the forty nine ers game. But
Speaker 1: they really should be denied their license or whatever you
Speaker 1: do to get a ticket at Dodger Stadium because that's
Speaker 1: just not right and it's given them. Some of the
Speaker 1: things that have happened in the parking lot just not
Speaker 1: right at all.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no place for it, no place for it.
Speaker 7: Now.
Speaker 3: I saw a video of you know, things being thrown
Speaker 3: from up high down into the Padres bullpen. Yeah, this
Speaker 3: can't happen. This is not who the Dodgers are, This
Speaker 3: is not who Dodger Nation is, the fans, and it
Speaker 3: was hopefully a one time thing that happened to Dodger's
Speaker 3: dam that should have never happened. And luckily nobody got hurt. Thankfully,
Speaker 3: You're right, you know, right, players on the field are
Speaker 3: fans in the stands.
Speaker 5: Nobody got hurt because then it would have been extended out,
Speaker 5: it would have been a lot deeper, and you know
Speaker 5: the investigations. It would have been a hangover that you
Speaker 5: don't want. So luckily nobody was struck in the head
Speaker 5: and hurt like anything like that.
Speaker 3: So anyway, let's go to Wan in San Diego before
Speaker 3: we hit the top of the hour. Wan, Good morning,
Speaker 3: how you doing.
Speaker 8: I'm doing good, guys. Tell you guys, come on Saw.
Speaker 8: I'm a long time Dodger fans, born range in San Diego,
Speaker 8: but I always rooted for the Blue. I'm married to
Speaker 8: a Dodger, I mean pottery expand my wife sup pottery man.
Speaker 8: So it kind of hits me at home when we
Speaker 8: go at it. But last night, I mean, good game.
Speaker 8: But I think, you know, for the kids being in
Speaker 8: the stadium seeing that stuff, it's like it's kind of
Speaker 8: uncalled for, and I think they could have probably acted
Speaker 8: a little bit better. But also too with the Potteries
Speaker 8: the way they are. When the Dodgers come down here
Speaker 8: and they do that beat l A, beat l A,
Speaker 8: it does give us fire to go back and and
Speaker 8: try to beat the Potteries. But it's just some of
Speaker 8: the things they're doing down here, like the thing they
Speaker 8: did to crush all I don't think I remember I.
Speaker 3: Had the crying emoji on the on the jumbos in
Speaker 3: San Diego.
Speaker 8: It's like stuff like that, like Dodger Nation. Dodger we don't.
Speaker 8: We don't do that stuff, you know. I mean, we
Speaker 8: go out there, we do our best, and if we lose,
Speaker 8: we lose. If we win, we go for it we win,
Speaker 8: But we don't.
Speaker 1: We don't.
Speaker 8: We're not that Dodgers are world class and that no
Speaker 8: doubt about it.
Speaker 3: Well said one appreciate the phone call eighty sixty six
Speaker 3: nine eight seven seventy with the top the hour will
Speaker 3: come back more of your reaction to last night, what
Speaker 3: happened in the game, what happened off the field there
Speaker 3: the seventh inning. It is unacceptable. It should never happen again.
Speaker 3: But I understand the frustrations that started to boil up
Speaker 3: there at Dodger Stadium. We'll get into it more. Jerry
Speaker 3: Harrison Junior will join us in the eight o'clock hour.
Speaker 3: We're going to hear from Max Munsey coming up. Fernando

Speaker 3: him coming up in just a couple of minutes later
