I am Tim Kats, joined 22 00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:15.680 by a two time World Series champion, former Dodger Rookie 23 00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:18.959 of the Year, your favorite Number three, Steve Sax Saxy, 24 00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:22.439 Good morning, Tim. How you doing buddy? Oh, Saxy, that's 25 00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:25.120 a loaded question right there, because we got a lot 26 00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:27.640 to get to in the next three hours and we 27 00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:29.560 wanted Dodger fans to be a part of it. At 28 00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:33.000 eight six, six, nine, eighty seven, two, five seventy two 29 00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:36.799 games happened over the weekend since we last talked, Saxy. 30 00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:39.799 The Dodgers came back in Game one in a thrilling 31 00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:43.359 seven to five win as the Dodgers jumped out to 32 00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:46.840 a one zero series lead. And then last night, last night, 33 00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:50.400 things unraveled on and off the field at Dodgers Stadium, 34 00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:53.200 an ugly scene in the seventh inning. So much to 35 00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:56.159 get into, but what were your initial thoughts after these 36 00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:59.239 first two games, especially last night what happened at a 37 00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:01.480 very live, evenly Dodgers Stadium. 38 00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:05.000 Well, look, you can never you can never guess what's 39 00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:07.200 going to happen as far as all the dramas concerned, 40 00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:10.560 especially when these these two teams lock it up. You know, 41 00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:13.479 I thought the first game was just great, Dodgers come back, 42 00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:17.000 Bullpin shines and you know, the hitting is on display. 43 00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:18.639 And then in the second. 44 00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:20.639 Game you can just kind of feel that momentum change 45 00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:23.400 after Profar robs the home run. I mean, I thought, 46 00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:26.199 Mookie comes back, and you know, it puts the Dodgers 47 00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:28.560 right back in this game. Well they were, you know, 48 00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:31.360 just down one, but it just changed and flipped the 49 00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:33.680 momentum a little bit. But then Profar comes back with 50 00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:35.680 that smirk on his face, jumping up and down in 51 00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:38.080 front of the fans, rubbing it in their face, and 52 00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:38.680 he has the ball. 53 00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:42.240 He made a great play. I didn't like the. 54 00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:44.800 Body chemistry afterwards though, you know that kind of rubs 55 00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:47.319 people the wrong way. And it went down from there. 56 00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:50.599 Yeah, a lot happened last night, from the first inning, 57 00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:53.560 Dodgers falling in a hole as you mentioned, Jerks and 58 00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:57.000 Profar robbing Mookie Betts of the home run over the 59 00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:00.159 short wall and left field. The Dodgers missed opportunity in 60 00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:04.000 the second inning, some great defense in the fourth again 61 00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:07.039 from Tatis and right field, which you know, Freddie Freeman 62 00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:09.719 could have had a double delede off the inning. Freddie 63 00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:12.360 Frieman leaves the game. Then you got the sixth inning 64 00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:16.080 back and forth between Flaherty and Manny Machado, and the 65 00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:18.360 seventh inning, of course you've got what happened with the 66 00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:21.599 fans out in the stands, in Jerks and Profar and 67 00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:25.639 Fernando Totis Junior. I think, as you mentioned, the home 68 00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:30.039 run changed everything, and the fact that many e for 69 00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:33.319 Nano Tatis Junior and Jerks and Profar certainly later in 70 00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:35.800 the game maybe instigated some things a little bit. But 71 00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:38.599 robbing him of the home run in the first inning, 72 00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:41.520 and the emotion at Dodgers Datium going from thinking it 73 00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:44.599 was a home run to still it being a Dodger deficit, 74 00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:48.360 the frustration, I think everything that's happened the last couple 75 00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:51.680 of years with the Dodgers losing early in the playoffs 76 00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:54.639 and Dodgers fans thoughts all year long sacks. He going 77 00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:57.479 into this postseason of like, oh no, is this gonna 78 00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:00.000 happen again? Three years in a row in the NLDS 79 00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:02.960 And to be down early, have a home run robbed, 80 00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:05.280 and then I think it was just downhill after that. 81 00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:09.439 I think the emotions and the frustration, not to condone anything, 82 00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:12.599 but the frustration of Dodger fans set in last night. 83 00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:15.199 Yeah, and there was there was just this undertone of 84 00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:18.160 a momentum shift. You know, the great ball that Tommy 85 00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:20.639 Edmond hit that was right to a rise that turned 86 00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:23.279 into a double play. That could have been, you know, 87 00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:26.240 a big one for the Dodgers too, And you know, hey, look, 88 00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:27.839 for the most part, you can't guide it. You know, 89 00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:29.639 you can only hit the ball hard, and you know 90 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:31.879 where it goes is where it goes. But it just 91 00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:34.920 didn't happen for him on yesterday. But look, hey, look, 92 00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:36.759 if you sum the whole thing up, we still have 93 00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:40.079 a best of three and going down to San Diego, 94 00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:43.439 that's not friendly territory, and I certainly mean that is 95 00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:46.680 in the in the sports way, and it's gonna be 96 00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:49.639 a great battle, I think, and we're gonna see who's 97 00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:52.480 gonna shine more. But if the other team belts six 98 00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:55.399 home runs against your pitching staff, there's not much you 99 00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:58.319 can do, anybody can do if you're giving up six hrs. 100 00:04:58.360 --> 00:04:59.879 So that's just where it is right now. 101 00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:03.800 Yeah, you know, again, the Dodgers put themselves in a 102 00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:07.560 hole early with Jack Flaherty giving up the early run 103 00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:10.079 of the first, the Dodgers inability to get that home 104 00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:14.079 run because it's robbed by Jerkson Profar, then two more 105 00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:16.000 on the top of the second, all of a sudden 106 00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:18.600 before you blinking before some of the Dodger fans are 107 00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:20.720 even in their seats after getting their beers and not 108 00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:24.399 chosen hot dogs. It's a three nothing deficit again, Saxon, 109 00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:26.959 that's two games in a row, and it's one thing 110 00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:29.439 in the course of one hundred and sixty two games 111 00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:31.759 to be a team that's come from behind and to 112 00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:34.319 realize you've got twenty seven outs. It's a long game. 113 00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:37.759 But if you're in the postseason and now everything's magnified 114 00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:40.480 and we're talking about you know, out to out to 115 00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:43.759 out and bringing in relievers specialties, and it's it's such 116 00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:46.680 a tighter game. As you know, to fall behind three 117 00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:50.199 nothing constantly is a tough thing to ask your offense. 118 00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:53.519 Yeah, you're you're going in dangerous territory. Then if you're 119 00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:56.480 constantly behind, you know, I mean, look at the stats 120 00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:58.800 that show the team that scores first is the one 121 00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:01.279 that you're usually going to win. And so you can't 122 00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:03.560 get yourself in a deficit. It throws a pitching out 123 00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:07.040 of whack and you're gonna start taxing your bullpen here too. 124 00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:10.000 So you know, the Dodgers got to get back to basics. 125 00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:12.439 They got to hit those spots with their pitchers. They 126 00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:15.439 got to get some usage out of those starters to 127 00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:17.360 go deeper in the game, so you don't just really, 128 00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:19.279 you know, rely on the bullpen the whole time. That's 129 00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:21.839 the way the game's developed is let those starters go 130 00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:22.600 as far as they can. 131 00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:25.879 Yeah, you, Darvius, for whatever reason has the Dodgers' numbers. 132 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:29.160 Jack Feleriti last night gave up those three early runs, 133 00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:31.360 would give up one more, but what end up giving 134 00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:33.680 the Dodgers five and the third innings and you know, 135 00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:37.040 helped them out as much as possible the game. We're 136 00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:39.240 gonna get into so much over the next three hours, 137 00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:40.680 Dodger fans, we want you to beat a part of 138 00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:42.720 the show at eight sixty six nine, eight seven, two 139 00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:44.600 five seventy. Coming up in just a couple of minutes, 140 00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:46.879 we're gonna hear from Dave Roberts post game. Later on 141 00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:49.560 this hour, we're gonna hear from Manny Machado and Jack 142 00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:52.120 Fileriti on what happened between the two of them on 143 00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:54.920 and off the field. We'll look from Fernando Totis Junior 144 00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:58.680 later on, many Max Munsey later on, and Gavin Lux 145 00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:01.160 in the final hour. Jerry Harrison Junior from Sports in 146 00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:03.759 LA will join us in the eight o'clock hour as well. 147 00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:06.439 But a lot to unpack, a lot to digest from 148 00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:08.240 what happened last night, and we're gonna get to all 149 00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:09.560 of it, and we're gonna get to all of your 150 00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:13.000 reaction between now and nine o'clock this morning. But just 151 00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:15.680 kind of taking a piece by piece that Jerks and 152 00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:19.680 Profar robbed home run in the first city, Saxy. It 153 00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:23.439 it's a home run that could change the momentum in 154 00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:26.000 a blink, and it's all of a sudden, tied up 155 00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:28.560 one to one, Dodger fans are back into this game 156 00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:31.000 after falling behind one nothing and the air just kind 157 00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:33.720 of being sucked out of the stadium. Yeah, you're right 158 00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:36.120 back in it all. It's a whole new ballgame. Instead, 159 00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:40.560 Jerks and Profar robs Fred Mookie Bets of that home 160 00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:44.160 run and goes into the stadium the stands basically a 161 00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:46.240 row and a half deep to pull it out, and 162 00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:49.560 not one Dodger fan tries to knock it out of 163 00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:52.079 his glove once he goes into the stand. Saxy, it's 164 00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:52.759 free game. 165 00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:54.600 Yeah. 166 00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:57.759 If that happens at Yankee Stadium, that happens. I know 167 00:07:57.759 --> 00:07:59.399 there's a wall at Wrigley, but you know if that 168 00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:04.720 happens somewhere else, Yeah, Boston. Yeah right, they're knocking. 169 00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:09.879 He may not come back with an arm, right right, right, Yeah, 170 00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:12.160 And that's not dirty, that's just it's part. 171 00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:12.399 Of the game. 172 00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:12.800 Yeah. 173 00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:14.480 The thing, the thing that just kind of rubbed me 174 00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:17.639 the wrong way is that smirk on his face. Hey, 175 00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:19.480 it's it's all great though. I mean, you know what, 176 00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:22.800 he made a great play. Uh you know he said 177 00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:24.639 he always dreamed about doing that, but to do it 178 00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:26.839 in a playoff game was pretty done. Great and then 179 00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:29.480 to bounce up in front of everybody, and Mooki thought 180 00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:31.639 it was a home run until he came around second 181 00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:34.679 and and you know the playoff coverage you couldn't even 182 00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:36.600 see when he threw the ball back to the infield. 183 00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:39.200 No, he held that ball a long time. 184 00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:41.639 I mean he let Mooki run around the bases, you know, 185 00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:44.039 almost a third base before he throws it in. 186 00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:45.919 So I know that ticked people off. 187 00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:48.000 And that's that's kind of where this uh, you know, 188 00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:50.720 this momentum shift and you know the irking of all 189 00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:52.399 the fans had started right there. 190 00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:56.960 Oh yeah, the frustration just mounted and kept snowballing and snowballing. 191 00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:00.120 But I tweeted out last night after it happened the video, 192 00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:02.720 and I said, come on, fans, I mean, he goes 193 00:09:02.759 --> 00:09:05.399 a row and a half deep into left field and 194 00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:07.440 you're ducking to get out of the way, and you're 195 00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:09.600 not going up trying to rob the ball or even 196 00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:11.960 preventing him from catching the ball. It's not like you 197 00:09:12.039 --> 00:09:15.320 win over the fence and interfered. I mean with the ball. 198 00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:18.240 If a fan jumps up and catches that in his 199 00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:21.519 seat before Profar gets it, that's that's legal, right. 200 00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:25.559 Yes, absolutely, yeah. Once the player goes into the stands 201 00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:28.039 and efforts to get a ball, it's fair game. You 202 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:29.639 can go up and get it. You have every right 203 00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:32.600 to that ball as the player, because it's technically a 204 00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:36.039 home run if it's over that wall, even an imaginary wall, 205 00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:37.480 the wall is a short wall like it is in 206 00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:39.919 left field. You're not supposed to lean over and interfere 207 00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:42.000 with the play. You don't do that. But if it 208 00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:44.200 goes into the stands, that clearly was a row and 209 00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:46.679 a half in. We got people ducking, we got people 210 00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:49.320 holding onto their beers, we got nobody really with the 211 00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:51.600 glove that's making a solid effort to go get it. 212 00:09:51.799 --> 00:09:54.039 There needs to be a mob to go get that 213 00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:56.919 ball and make sure it's a home run. 214 00:09:57.120 --> 00:09:58.639 Yeah, if you were out there, I don't know if 215 00:09:58.639 --> 00:09:59.879 Profar would have came back. 216 00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:01.080 Right back to the field. 217 00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:04.120 Yeah, but can you imagine what's gonna be boiling up 218 00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:06.960 when we get down to San Diego. This is gonna 219 00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:09.639 be fantastic. This is this is what it's all about 220 00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:12.399 right here. There's nothing better than to have a rivalry. 221 00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:17.120 This rivalry was brewing back before I was playing, I mean, 222 00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:19.080 and then when I was playing in those years in 223 00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:22.840 the eighties and nineties, the rivalry was huge against the 224 00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:25.639 Padres and they were very tough to beat in San Diego. 225 00:10:25.759 --> 00:10:28.320 Yeah, the rivalry on and off the field, it is 226 00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:31.360 real right now between these two organizations as it goes 227 00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:34.039 back to San Diego for Game three tomorrow night, right 228 00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:37.159 here on a FI seventy LA Sports the robbery of 229 00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:40.159 the home run you mentioned in earlier, Tommy Edmonds hits 230 00:10:40.159 --> 00:10:43.399 a ball that if it gets past a rise into 231 00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:45.720 right field in the second inning with the bases loaded 232 00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:48.480 and then runners on first and third, it's a tie ball. Game, 233 00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:50.600 but instead he hits it right at him and then 234 00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:54.080 he doubles up the runner at first, eating over to 235 00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:57.600 tease Rob's Freeman of extra bases in right center. In 236 00:10:57.639 --> 00:10:59.759 the fourth inning, Freddy Freeman leaves the game. Of the 237 00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:02.919 fifth thinning, things just didn't break the Dodger's way, and 238 00:11:02.919 --> 00:11:07.120 then in the sixth thinning the frustration from the Dodgers 239 00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:10.519 kind of reached a point. Manny Machado uh not happy 240 00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:14.120 with Jack Flarity, Jack Flerity barking at Manny Machatto. They 241 00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:17.320 come back from TV after the the in between Indians 242 00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:19.440 and they're still barking at each other from the dugout 243 00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:21.720 and third base, looking like their mouthing like, let's meet 244 00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:25.480 in the parking lot. I mean things got asked that 245 00:11:25.559 --> 00:11:27.919 ever happened before Saxy were Yeah, you mouthed off to 246 00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:29.639 somebody said, hey, parking lot, let's go. 247 00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:32.840 Yeah, and then you know that nobody shows up. You know, 248 00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:36.080 but yeah, they talk about it. You know, your your 249 00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:40.080 your feelings and whatever. Get get bitten on a bit, 250 00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:42.559 so you're gonna say whatever you want to say at 251 00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:43.399 that moment in time. 252 00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:45.639 But I say, you know, forget the parking lot. 253 00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:47.679 You know, if if you really want it, that bad 254 00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:50.360 look in baseball. If you want somebody on the field, 255 00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:52.440 you can get them. You can get them whenever you want, 256 00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:55.559 right there. Uh and and so all that talk is just, 257 00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:57.600 you know, a bunch of that, just a bunch of bark. 258 00:11:57.679 --> 00:12:00.240 But I'll tell you what I mean. I like the 259 00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:04.000 I like the intensity. I like Flaharty with what I mean. 260 00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:06.240 You can only see this on TV when he was 261 00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:08.480 mouthing the words after he struck out Machado. 262 00:12:08.600 --> 00:12:10.639 Yeah, that was great. And you know, I can't mention 263 00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:13.039 what he said, but if you were watching the game, 264 00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:15.759 you get it. And so that's real stuff. It's real drama. 265 00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:17.960 It's unedited, it's uncutt and it's real. 266 00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:19.039 And that's what I love about this. 267 00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:20.559 We're going to hear from both of them coming up 268 00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:22.759 a little bit later this hour after the game, what 269 00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:24.799 they had to say about it. It's interesting to hear 270 00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:27.879 the different sides of their back and forth. In the 271 00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:31.720 seventh inning, in between innings, things really unraveled. The ball 272 00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:34.639 gets thrown onto the field at Jerks and profar towards him. 273 00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:37.600 There's a ten minute delay. Security had to be brought 274 00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:43.519 onto the field. Dodger stadium was rocking. Certainly, frustrations were mounting. 275 00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:46.720 It's deep into a game, so certainly people have had 276 00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:48.879 a good time at Dodger statum, if you know what 277 00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:50.600 I mean, over the course of the previous six and 278 00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:53.440 a half innings, feeling good about themselves, but not feeling 279 00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:56.320 good about what's happening with their Dodgers team. And it 280 00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:59.480 doesn't help that you've got Fernando Tatist Junior in right 281 00:12:59.559 --> 00:13:04.519 field kind of instigating Dodger fans, playing along with Dodger fans, 282 00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:07.320 making faces at Dodgers fans. Now there's a video of 283 00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:11.159 him gyrating out in right field towards Dodgers fans. I mean, 284 00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:13.679 you're not helping the case if you're gonna complain about 285 00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:17.120 fans reacting. And certainly you never want to throw anything 286 00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:20.519 anything onto a field of play or a court in 287 00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:22.919 any instance. You're not supposed to do that at all. 288 00:13:23.080 --> 00:13:26.559 That is completely unacceptable. But if you're a player, the 289 00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:29.279 last thing you need to be doing is instigating what 290 00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:31.320 is happening out there on the field. And to me, 291 00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:34.039 that's what led this whole thing to continue for ten 292 00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:37.399 minutes long. And now you know, beer bottles or cups 293 00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:40.120 being thrown out in the field towards Tatis. It's because 294 00:13:40.120 --> 00:13:42.399 he kept the thing going saxy, Yeah he did. 295 00:13:42.440 --> 00:13:45.879 I mean the thing is, you know there's something, you know, 296 00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:48.360 if there's going to be you know, some dust up 297 00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:49.840 or if there's going to be close to a fight 298 00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:52.759 or whatever, you can bet your bottom dollar that it's 299 00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:55.440 going to be Tattoos and Machado. Those guys are gonna 300 00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:58.200 be in it. No way know how They're not going 301 00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:00.679 to be there. So it's not to be you know, 302 00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:03.080 it's not gonna be Jackson Merrill or it's not gonna 303 00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:06.519 be Higashioka or something like that. They're not. It's gonna 304 00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:08.480 be these two guys and the the they are there 305 00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:11.639 for that reason, and uh, you know they're they're both 306 00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:14.360 really good players. One of them is a cheater and 307 00:14:14.559 --> 00:14:16.879 the other one you know, is a really good player too, 308 00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:19.240 and you know what, sorry, but that's that's the Uh, 309 00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:21.080 that's the mental you're gonna carry. 310 00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:22.600 For your career if you're if you're a. 311 00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:24.840 Guy that's out there doing the roids and cheating, well, 312 00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:26.159 then you know what we're gonna acknowledge it. 313 00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:29.080 Absolutely. Let's hear from Dave Roberts post game last night. 314 00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:31.840 A lot of stuff happened between Mookie Betts having that 315 00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:34.519 home run Robin in the first, to the Dodgers coming 316 00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:37.000 close in the second, to what happened in the sixth, 317 00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:40.159 and certainly things escalating the seventh. Here's Dave Roberts post game. 318 00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:41.279 Let's get here what we had to say. 319 00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:43.960 We knew going into this series there's gonna be a 320 00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:47.720 lot of emotions, and you know, they just played a 321 00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:49.360 better baseball game than we did. 322 00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:50.639 Tonight, Skipper. 323 00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:54.159 We all know of the friction between these two clubs. 324 00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:57.279 How surprised are you that it went to that extent 325 00:14:57.360 --> 00:14:57.919 this evening. 326 00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:03.159 As far as the whole thing that transparred on the field, well, shoot, 327 00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:06.080 I've seen gosh, I've seen over a thousand games here, 328 00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:09.519 well over a thousand games in this ballpark, and I've 329 00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:13.679 never seen anything like that, And so obviously there's a 330 00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:16.120 lot of emotions and things like that. But that's something 331 00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:22.159 that should never happen. And I guess I really I 332 00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:25.720 was pretty naive to as far as the specifics, but 333 00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:28.399 I know that security handle the person that was involved 334 00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:30.840 as far as you know, throwing the baseball in the field, 335 00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:33.519 and you just never want to see that, and like 336 00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:35.960 I said, I've seen so many games at Tacher Stadium, 337 00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:38.919 and our fans are as good as any any that 338 00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:39.600 I've ever seen. 339 00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:44.159 They've with Freddy, Like, how concerning is it that, you know, 340 00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:46.440 obviously for the next month to try and keep them 341 00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:48.759 healthy without distinct kind of flowing up every now and then. 342 00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:53.840 It's it's sort of where we're at. It's not ideal, 343 00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:58.240 it is of concern, it's day to day and there's 344 00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:00.080 nothing else we can do about it. So I think 345 00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:06.120 that we have a workout uh tomorrow evening and then 346 00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:08.200 we'll just kind of see where he's at with treatment, 347 00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:11.440 and then once we get to uh Tuesday, we'll see 348 00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:13.919 how it feels and and then we'll do the same 349 00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:17.120 thing for game four. So again, yeah, it's it's not ideal, 350 00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:18.480 but I think this is what we're gonna have to 351 00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:20.320 be dealing with for the duration. 352 00:16:20.879 --> 00:16:22.799 And Aviously, you guys kind of bounced back yesterday after 353 00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:25.120 getting in that early hole, but how tough is it 354 00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:27.720 to keep kind of getting you down three four runs 355 00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:28.080 early on. 356 00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:31.919 It's it's it's uh, you know it certainly uh you know, 357 00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:35.759 Puts puts a little bit on the offense and you know, 358 00:16:35.799 --> 00:16:39.320 getting behind tonight, I thought that, you know, the Mookie 359 00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:44.200 ball that was robbed, the Tommy Edmond first and second 360 00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:48.600 base with one out double play right there. But that's baseball. 361 00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:50.759 I mean, I thought those are true good at bats. 362 00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:52.559 And I thought Freddie took a good at bat. We're 363 00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:55.320 down three to one, uh to lead off the third 364 00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:58.600 of the fourth inning, and Tatis makes a great play 365 00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:00.879 which could have been a double, which could have potentially 366 00:17:01.480 --> 00:17:03.799 cut into the lead. So but again, those guys made 367 00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:06.759 defensive plays and then they tacked on when they needed to. 368 00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:11.119 So now it's a three game series. They played better, 369 00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:13.960 but you know, we got to catch a lead too, 370 00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:14.680 all right. 371 00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:16.519 There's Dave Roberts, Yeah, and they got to get out 372 00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:18.960 to a better start. And he's right. Dodgers had a 373 00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:22.400 couple of great opportunities, and in those instances of sacksually 374 00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:24.680 when a defensive guy makes a great play to tease 375 00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:27.359 and Wright, you know, leaping out like a ballerina out 376 00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:29.960 there making a great catch to rob Freddie Freeman of 377 00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:32.400 a possible extra base hits to lead off the fourth inning. 378 00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:34.960 They mentioned the Tommy Emmon line driving the second that 379 00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:37.119 could have tied the game if all ball gets passed 380 00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:39.200 a rise and down in the right field corner. Should 381 00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:42.039 have would it could have? But you know it is baseball, 382 00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:43.880 right yet sometimes you just hit the gup ball right 383 00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:44.559 at somebody. 384 00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:47.559 Yeah, you can't. You can't guide it. And you know, look, 385 00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:50.200 we can talk and analyze this game, that's why we're here. 386 00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:52.000 But I guarantee you down in the Dodger dug out, 387 00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:54.440 they're not doing that. They're saying, Okay, this is one game. 388 00:17:54.519 --> 00:17:56.519 You lose it, you lose by eight runs. So what 389 00:17:56.599 --> 00:17:59.200 it's just one game. Let them let him bang out 390 00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:01.359 all their hits now and that one game. And look, 391 00:18:01.400 --> 00:18:05.599 I guarantee you there's gonna be times where this team, 392 00:18:05.680 --> 00:18:07.680 maybe not collectively as a whole unit, but there's gonna 393 00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:09.160 be guys in this team that aren't gonna be hitting 394 00:18:09.160 --> 00:18:11.240 six home runs every time they you know, go through 395 00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:11.559 the game. 396 00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:12.400 That's not gonna happen. 397 00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:14.480 So they're gonna they're gonna reach some times where they're 398 00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:16.880 gonna be struggling too. That's just the nature of baseball. 399 00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:19.279 And that's what the Dodgers got to capitalize on. You know, 400 00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:21.960 hit those spots as of pitchers and make the plays 401 00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:24.720
