Speaker 2: the Gallpin Motors Broadcast booth Wednesday in San Diego. It
Speaker 2: was a bullpen game for the Ages, Dave Roberts electing
Speaker 2: to use an opener in game four. What followed was
Speaker 2: a line out of a bullpen of eight different relievers
Speaker 2: who would take them mount on Wednesday night, all of
Speaker 2: them putting up zeros on the scoreboard, all of them
Speaker 2: sticking to the blueprint laid out by manager Dave Roberts. Meanwhile,
Speaker 2: the Dodgers offense jumped on Dylan Cez early in the
Speaker 2: first second batter of the game.
Speaker 3: Mookie Betts, So here's the payoff.
Speaker 4: Bett Swington hits a high drive left center field and
Speaker 4: deep Merrill.
Speaker 5: At the wall.
Speaker 6: It's dun.
Speaker 7: Mookie Bets at it again, the first sitting home run.
Speaker 7: He pumps his fist halfway between second and third. Oh
Speaker 7: high five for Dino Ebol, his second home running many days.
Speaker 2: It's one nothing Dodgers, big swing for Mookie Betts. That's
Speaker 2: the top tier play of the game, sponsored by Arco quality,
Speaker 2: top tier gas for less Dodgers. With the one nothing
Speaker 2: lead in the second, they tacked on two more. Show
Speaker 2: Hey o'tani with an RBI single to right. Mookie Betts
Speaker 2: again came through, this time with an RBI single to right.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers up three to nothing, and the third facing
Speaker 2: the Dodgers' bullpen, Will Smith with the breadth of Fresh
Speaker 2: Air moment of the game.
Speaker 4: Smith lined out to left, hit the ball hard his
Speaker 4: first time up, nothing to show for it.
Speaker 1: On the one one, Smith swings and.
Speaker 4: Cracks the ball center field in deep Merril, turns and
Speaker 4: watches it.
Speaker 7: Fly wag on into the batter's eye from Will Smith.
Speaker 7: A two run tank and now a five nothing lead.
Speaker 2: Tier run home run from Will Smith four hundred and
Speaker 2: thirty two feet, his first hit of the postseason, coming

Speaker 3: O awaited with more.
Speaker 2: Let's head over to the Galpin Motors broadcast booth as
Speaker 2: we say hello to Stephen Nelson and Rick Monday.
Speaker 3: Guys, right, all right, TC is this?
Speaker 4: It is this the last first pregame segment I have
Speaker 4: with Rick Monday this year? No, all right, mo, okay mo.
Speaker 4: Dodgers Stadium the side of Game five, this winner take
Speaker 4: all Division series finale, and honestly, it's probably safe to
Speaker 4: say that it's fitting for the Dodgers and Padres who
Speaker 4: started the Major League season two hundred and five days ago.
Speaker 4: Then it comes down to one game.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Soul, South Korea two hundred and five days ago.
Speaker 8: The reason I cut in and I said, no emphatically, Okay,
Speaker 8: we're kind of playing back and forth. Yeah, that's the
Speaker 8: attitude these guys have to have, and you know that
Speaker 8: both dugouts have that. I thought that in the pregame
Speaker 8: media meeting, if you will, they had to kick her.
Speaker 8: Nanasik came in, Yeah, and he said some things that
Speaker 8: I applauded. As I'm kind of listening, he basically said
Speaker 8: the same thing that I'm said over and over about
Speaker 8: postseason play. These are moments, and this is an elimination game.
Speaker 8: One team is going to be frustrated and say, well
Speaker 8: we have to wait till next year. The other team
Speaker 8: another challenge. You move on to the next series. But
Speaker 8: these are spots elimination games. As kicking was relating to,
Speaker 8: you've dreamed about since you were a seven year old
Speaker 8: in your backyard. Let the dream live tonight and don't
Speaker 8: let the moment capture what you're trying to do. He
Speaker 8: also says something else. He said he really struggled with
Speaker 8: postseason play earlier in his career. Then he started to
Speaker 8: say to himself as he went to bed the night before. Okay,
Speaker 8: positive thoughts, what can I do? What can I do? Okay,
Speaker 8: let me kind of project what the picture that I'm
Speaker 8: going to face tomorrow is able to do be bigger
Speaker 8: than the moment. And he said it happened to work out.
Speaker 8: The very next day. He had three home runs in
Speaker 8: one game. That doesn't mean it's going to be easy.
Speaker 8: If it were easy, every team would be here. There's
Speaker 8: only two going to play tonight. One of them is
Speaker 8: going to be really happy.
Speaker 3: I like that.
Speaker 4: Let the dream live. The Dodgers and Padres a one
Speaker 4: final time, and it's a really specially special matchup in
Speaker 4: the country of Japan because for the first time in
Speaker 4: Major League postseason history, you have two Japanese born pitchers
Speaker 4: starting in a winner take all game. That's Yoshinobu Yama
Speaker 4: Maltza for the Dodgers and you Darvish for the San
Speaker 4: Diego Padres.
Speaker 8: And the Dodgers have to figure out from an offensive standpoint.
Speaker 8: And by the way, Freddie Freeman is in the lineup.
Speaker 8: We watched him during back practice. He was being monitored
Speaker 8: by three of the trainers and just doing a couple
Speaker 8: of little different drills. We don't know maneuverability, how much
Speaker 8: he has, how long he'll be in the ball game,
Speaker 8: don't really know. The other thing too is KICKI Hernanus
Speaker 8: is getting the start in center field and he will
Speaker 8: bat in the seventh spot in this lineup. So Hernanas
Speaker 8: has had, you know, the history of coming up big
Speaker 8: in postseason. Dodgers are hoping they were able to do that.
Speaker 8: A couple of things that Dave Roberts said yesterday that
Speaker 8: I really underlined. He goes, Look, you cannot be afraid
Speaker 8: of failure playing in the biggest games that you've had
Speaker 8: of the year. And I reiterate what I said before
Speaker 8: Game four down in San Diego. The Dodgers and the
Speaker 8: Powder Raised tonight are both surrounded by urgency, urgency to win.
Speaker 4: We are anxious for this game to begin. And it's
Speaker 4: our privilege and our pleasure and our honor to be
Speaker 4: with you guys tonight for Game five, the division series
Speaker 4: coming up shortly.

Speaker 1: This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston Watson.
Speaker 2: Kirston now joins us here at Dodgers standing before Game
Speaker 2: five of this n l DS Win or go home
Speaker 2: Dodgers and padres. Kirsten, You've been in the clubhouse, you've
Speaker 2: been on the field. How does this team feel leading
Speaker 2: up to first pitch?
Speaker 9: Yeah, well, I will say yesterday for the team workout,
Speaker 9: there's been a big thing of just all of these
Speaker 9: guys are in it together. They're gonna win together. Hopefully
Speaker 9: they don't lose, but if they do lose, they're gonna
Speaker 9: lose together. And I think with that yesterday on the
Speaker 9: board in the clubhouse, it was jobs not finished. That's
Speaker 9: obviously Kobe Bryant what he said when they went on
Speaker 9: to win the NBA Championship. So this is that is
Speaker 9: the focus of this team. They recognize they're sick of
Speaker 9: this conversation of being being beat in the DS and
Speaker 9: they will and you know it's against a division park
Speaker 9: all of that, they're sick of that conversation. So they're
Speaker 9: very much coming into this one like, look, we forced
Speaker 9: the game five. Let's do like we know what we're
Speaker 9: here for. We're gonna lean into the fans energy and
Speaker 9: the excitement that's here today because look they're ready. Kei
Speaker 9: k a r nance when he was talking and I
Speaker 9: was like, you don't have a choice today but to
Speaker 9: show up. And so that is what they're hoping to
Speaker 9: do today. Set the tone early, and that starts with Yoshinobu. Yeah,
Speaker 9: I'm onto on the mount.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yoshi gets the starts.
Speaker 2: I imagine gonna be a short leash here in this
Speaker 2: game five. The Dodgers can't afford to fall behind early.
Speaker 9: Yeah, no, they can't. The hope is out of course
Speaker 9: he can have a clean for sinning and then the
Speaker 9: Dodgers can put some runs on the board to support
Speaker 9: him early in this game. They're gonna have to find
Speaker 9: a way to get to you, Darvish. But like you said,
Speaker 9: with Yoshinovu, he is someone who so they felt like
Speaker 9: in Game one and there was potential that he was
Speaker 9: tipping some of his pitches. So they've been working on
Speaker 9: a few things all week, just reviewing the tape, making
Speaker 9: sure that he is in a good spot, not only
Speaker 9: just to execute, but to make sure he's not giving
Speaker 9: anything away. So that is the hope for him today.
Speaker 9: They do believe that. You know, this is a guy
Speaker 9: who's been in big moments, not necessarily maybe in Major
Speaker 9: League base Ball, but in the other leagues, whether it
Speaker 9: was in Japan World Baseball Classic, things like that. He
Speaker 9: was excellent against the Yankees, so they've seen him come
Speaker 9: in clutch. So now it's about channeling that energy into
Speaker 9: this start, and they believe he's ready for it. You know,
Speaker 9: they signed him for this, for moments like this, and
Speaker 9: the hope is he can do that.
Speaker 3: Just do that today.
Speaker 2: You ready for the energy in this stadium. I feel
Speaker 2: like it's gonna be buzzing from first pitch on.
Speaker 9: Oh, it's gonna be insane and we need it though,
Speaker 9: like I think the guys they feed off of that.
Speaker 9: We got to stay in this. It was amazing being
Speaker 9: in San Diego hearing them silence the Padres fans. You
Speaker 9: could just feel the shift. So we need, you know,
Speaker 9: from but I think it starts early, and to be fair,
Speaker 9: yes it's the fans, but it's also the players on
Speaker 9: the field getting things going to keep the fans engaged.
Speaker 3: So yeah, let's see what happens.
Speaker 9: I'm excited, but I it's not about us, it's about them,
Speaker 9: and I do I in my heart and soul, I
Speaker 9: believe this feels different this year, and I believe that
Speaker 9: they're ready.
Speaker 3: We'll find out first pitch.

Speaker 2: dive deeper into this pitching matchup. David Veast goes one
Speaker 2: on one with Evan Phillips up next, so we'll hear
Speaker 2: from the manager himself, Dave Roberts. It's the Dodgers and
Speaker 2: Padres Game five, the NLDS first pitching five O eight.
Speaker 2: I'm Tim Kaates's Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers hunt on your home for
Speaker 1: La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 3: Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck.
Speaker 2: Continuous line from Dodgers Stadium as with lead jump to
Speaker 2: first pitch Dodgers and Padres Game five of the National
Speaker 2: League Divisional Series, Marongo Casino Resort and Spa A Grand Slam.
Speaker 2: Four good times, Yoshinobu, Yamamoto and you darbage the pitching matchup,
Speaker 2: first pitch coming up in five oh eights?
Speaker 8: Anything else, Dave?
Speaker 10: Do you think the questions for Dave?
Speaker 1: Dave?
Speaker 3: Can you just describe Dave? Can you talk about the
Speaker 3: pressure in.
Speaker 1: The duck with Dave Robberts?
Speaker 11: Do you guys land on the decision to go with
Speaker 11: Yamamoto as opposed to some of your other options?
Speaker 12: Well, I think that if you look at Yoshinobu, he's
Speaker 12: on his regular rest. Jack. It would be a regular
Speaker 12: rest for him, which is shorter still we don't have
Speaker 12: the same as far as bullpen availability as we did
Speaker 12: as far as updowns and all that stuff. So I
Speaker 12: think that kind of realizing that, you know, Yoshinova's here
Speaker 12: to be a top end starter and this is his time,
Speaker 12: and I feel that we have really viable candidates, you know,
Speaker 12: behind him, But I still believe it. It's it's certainly
Speaker 12: I feel we all feel good about the decision for
Speaker 12: him to start in.
Speaker 11: A winner, go home, get him, Like how aggressive are
Speaker 11: you going to be with your bullpen behind him? And
Speaker 11: it's flairty kind of an option if you guys need them.
Speaker 12: Jack's certainly an option. But I do believe that the
Speaker 12: guys that have been in the bullpen all year are
Speaker 12: just as capable, if not more than capable, I would say,
Speaker 12: more than capable than what Jack could do. And so
Speaker 12: to have Jack, you know, being ready if needed, certainly,
Speaker 12: but I feel that with Yoshinobu and our guys, And again,
Speaker 12: I'm going to watch the game like all of us
Speaker 12: and kind of see, you know, how we're throwing the baseball,
Speaker 12: what type of the bats those guys are having, and
Speaker 12: then kind of make decisions, you know, going forward.
Speaker 4: Put it Jack in the front.
Speaker 13: How did the relievers come out of playing catch yesterday?
Speaker 3: And is it like when you talk about availability, is
Speaker 3: it more just.
Speaker 11: Like how long they can go rather than you know,
Speaker 11: guys being up or down.
Speaker 12: Correct, They're all up. Everyone's up, and it's kind of
Speaker 12: then baking in. You know how much they can give us,
Speaker 12: and then you've got to layer in effectiveness and all
Speaker 12: that stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, there's Dave robers Done in the dug
Speaker 2: brought to by Service Titan. Dave Roberts wins in the

Speaker 2: We will check in with the David vay Is. We're
Speaker 2: leading up to first pitch. It's the Dodgers and Padres
Speaker 2: Game five of.
Speaker 3: The n l d S. First pitch and five.
Speaker 2: Oh wait, I'm Tim Kates's Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck on your home
Speaker 1: for the Blue All Season Law Law.
Speaker 2: It's the Dodgers and Padres Game five of the n
Speaker 2: L d as Yoshinobu Yamamoto and you darbage the pitching
Speaker 2: matchup first pitch, coming up at five.
Speaker 1: Away, joining Tim Kates on Dodgers on deck.
Speaker 5: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 1: This is Dodger insider David Basse.
Speaker 2: All right, TV, what's the sense you get from this
Speaker 2: Dodgers team? The vibe amongst this team before Game five?
Speaker 6: A really confident group of players, Tim, and already we've
Speaker 6: seen more fight from this Dodger team than what we
Speaker 6: saw the last couple of years when the Dodgers were
Speaker 6: either down in a playoff game or down in a
Speaker 6: playoff series. The Dodgers have really shown a lot more
Speaker 6: resolved so far in the first four games of this series. Also,
Speaker 6: Freddie Freeman was out here earlier testing his right ankle.
Speaker 5: He is still a go to start at first base tonight.
Speaker 3: TIVID is driven by Ford.
Speaker 2: If there's one thing we like its choices, find yours
Speaker 2: with the four one to fifty gas hybrid all electric,
Speaker 2: toughest market will be called the f one fifty. Is
Speaker 2: it a game of chess between these two managers?
Speaker 1: TV?
Speaker 6: Well, from the Dodgers standpoint, it is Yamamoto is probably
Speaker 6: expected to give the Dodgers as much as he can
Speaker 6: for at least three innings.
Speaker 5: The crossroads at bat.
Speaker 6: In this game is going to be the second time
Speaker 6: Yamamoto has to face Fernando Tatis Junior from the Padres side. Yes,
Speaker 6: we've talked about the Dodgers' bullpen. They did a great
Speaker 6: job in Game four, but the Padres bullpen is really
Speaker 6: good as well. If the Padres have a lead after
Speaker 6: five innings, there is no doubt that they are going
Speaker 6: to go to their bullpen. Both sides have told me
Speaker 6: express to me. Whoever has the lead after five innings
Speaker 6: has a.
Speaker 5: Significant advantage to win this game.
Speaker 6: Also from the Padres side, in a big thank you
Speaker 6: from the Padres or from the Dodgers side.
Speaker 5: Keeping jerks in Profar hitting third.
Speaker 6: The consensus is it would help the Padres if they
Speaker 6: hit Jackson Merril third and even move Luis Arise down
Speaker 6: in their batting order to come up with men on bass.
Speaker 6: I told you the Dodgers love to have men on
Speaker 6: bass for Otani.
Speaker 5: The Padres don't want to see that.
Speaker 6: But the Padre stuck with the same lineup every single
Speaker 6: game this series.
Speaker 5: So a big thank you from the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: David, who do you think needs to have a big
Speaker 2: game for the Dodgers tonight.
Speaker 6: I know everybody looks at Shoe Aotani and Mookie Betts,
Speaker 6: but for me, there are three men that need to
Speaker 6: get on base and have an impact. It's their seven
Speaker 6: eight to nine hitters tonight, Keik Hernandez, Gavin Lux and
Speaker 6: Tommy Edmond. If those guys are on base via the
Speaker 6: walk or the base hit, the Dodgers have a great
Speaker 6: chance of scoring runs tonight.
Speaker 2: David, the bullpen locked and loaded, ready to go, all
Speaker 2: hands on deck in case they need to fill some
Speaker 2: innings tonight.
Speaker 6: Without a doubt, and who is going to close if
Speaker 6: they have the lead? That remains to be seen, Like
Speaker 6: it has been all season long.
Speaker 5: Blake Trening got the five out save in the.
Speaker 6: First game, but it's based more on the groupings of
Speaker 6: hitters than it is the inning of the game. And
Speaker 6: if the top of the lineup is going to be
Speaker 6: coming up in the ninth inning, Dave Roberts is going
Speaker 6: to map out the last six or nine outs to
Speaker 6: have Blake trynin face those top three hitters.
Speaker 5: A rise Tatis Profar, and you can even include Machado Milkie.
Speaker 2: Betts certainly has gotten things going after that over twenty two.
Speaker 2: Start here in continuation from last year's postseason, seeing him
Speaker 2: during batting practice, DV you mentioned it.
Speaker 3: He looks locked in and focused.
Speaker 5: It's crazy.
Speaker 6: Players have told me last year in this year that
Speaker 6: Mookie Bets forgets at times how good he is and
Speaker 6: that he's Mooky freaking Bets.
Speaker 5: Well, he saw the results.
Speaker 6: I know we talk about the process, but he's a
Speaker 6: big results guy. The process, the work was in there,
Speaker 6: the preparation before the last two games, he got results,
Speaker 6: and his confidence has had an all time high in
Speaker 6: a playoff series that I've ever been around him for.
Speaker 3: David appreciate it.
Speaker 2: We'll check back you with he in just a couple
Speaker 2: of minutes. Dodgers started him starting to get electric as
Speaker 2: the fans come in coming up here on Moroco Casino,
Speaker 2: Dodgers on deck, we'll hear from Evan Phillips from the

Speaker 8: about it today. You ask a very good question down
Speaker 8: in the media room also, and he said, hey, look,
Speaker 8: these are moments that we have dreamed about since being kids.
Speaker 8: You know, this is a the deciding gamegency who goes
Speaker 8: and squares off against the men's with an opportunity to
Speaker 8: go to the World Series and without a win today,
Speaker 8: neither one of these teams who will be going. So
Speaker 8: again this is material of Look, focus, don't let the
Speaker 8: moment get bigger than what it might be. They're all
Speaker 8: going to be big moments, There's no question about it.
Speaker 8: This is a controlling adrenaline. This is basically going through
Speaker 8: thought processes that you have gone through thousands of times
Speaker 8: as a player, as a professional player, is an amateur player,
Speaker 8: but this is the biggest stage you've ever done it on,
Speaker 8: and some excel. The stars are going to be stars.
Speaker 8: The question is what about the supporting staff. And we've
Speaker 8: seen the supporting staff now come through. From an offensive standpoint,
Speaker 8: the Dodgers have one big obstacle and that is the
Speaker 8: six foot five right hander you Darvish, because he has
Speaker 8: a pitch very well against the Dodgers. He throws so
Speaker 8: many different pitches and I know that Dave Roberts yesterday
Speaker 8: was saying, Look, the Dodgers needed one. You can't be
Speaker 8: afraid of failure. But the other part too, is he's
Speaker 8: talking from anc it's the standpoints. Look, you've got to
Speaker 8: cut down on the swings, and a guy that changes
Speaker 8: speeds changes looks. And with Darvish, one of the big
Speaker 8: things that he's had going for him in his career,
Speaker 8: it's not always just Plan A. If he has to
Speaker 8: go to Plan B, Plan C, Plan D, he will
Speaker 8: do that because he's not only a good pitcher, he's
Speaker 8: also a good observer. And by that, I'm talking about
Speaker 8: reading the swings of itters.
Speaker 6: How much do we put into the fact that Darvish's
Speaker 6: era is incredibly higher.
Speaker 5: Pitching on four days rest. Do you feel that plays
Speaker 5: into it or is that just the.
Speaker 8: I think it can. I think it can, and quite frankly,
Speaker 8: I think there's a subplot to all of this as well.
Speaker 8: You know, in the past, you think back to a
Speaker 8: certain World series the Darvish where the Astros getting his pitches,
Speaker 8: And that's one of the things we talked about. And
Speaker 8: if we look at tonight's starting pitcher for the Dodgers,
Speaker 8: and that being yeah, should know, but I'm a Moto.
Speaker 8: You know, Dave Roberts was questioning after Game one of
Speaker 8: this series where the padres picking up his pitches, and
Speaker 8: I go back to spring running the very first game
Speaker 8: that Yamamoto threw. I may mention the second ending that
Speaker 8: I could see what he was throwing. And they have
Speaker 8: worked on it and worked on it, and I don't
Speaker 8: think that's going to be a factor.
Speaker 1: But who scores early?
Speaker 8: And I think that's a big, big issue into nice
Speaker 8: ball game in particular.
Speaker 6: It seems like that's the consensus from both sides.
Speaker 12: Rick.
Speaker 6: They understand whoever gets the lead early has the advantage
Speaker 6: to go to their high leverage relievers.
Speaker 8: And I think that the relief core is going to
Speaker 8: be called upon very quickly if needed, by both sides.
Speaker 6: When you look at the Dodger lineup, Rick, is there
Speaker 6: one player that you're looking towards to having a huge
Speaker 6: impact other than Otania.
Speaker 8: No, they know they need multiple players. I don't think
Speaker 8: it's going to come down to one. There may be
Speaker 8: one big of bat, no question about that. But I
Speaker 8: think that if you're looking, we finally saw some life,
Speaker 8: if you will, in the bottom part of the lineup,
Speaker 8: because how many times the first two games of the series.
Speaker 8: We're talking about from position five, six, seven, eight, and
Speaker 8: nine in the the Dodger lineup. They were very very quiet.
Speaker 8: Well they started to make some noise and including that
Speaker 8: guy in the number two spot, that being Mookie betch.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we'll look forward to seeing what mooki otani and.
Speaker 8: The This is fun. I mean there butterflies around.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Join the club, folks. That's the way it should be.
Speaker 5: I feel great. I feel great. Rake, No butterflies.
Speaker 8: Here, Yeah, monster mops.

Speaker 5: It's Game five Dodgers and Padres.
Speaker 6: And we're joined right now by one of those Dodger
Speaker 6: relievers that force to Game five, and that is Evan Phillips.
Speaker 5: Thanks a lot for the time, Evan, appreciate.
Speaker 10: It absolutely anytime.
Speaker 6: Dave, what a great moment for as a group, for
Speaker 6: you guys to come out and really impose your will.
Speaker 6: What does that say about who you guys are in
Speaker 6: that bullpen?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 10: I think Game four was a testament to the kind
Speaker 10: of work we've been putting in all year. And what
Speaker 10: we've been bracing for. And you know, I'm really proud
Speaker 10: of how each guy came in and you know, different
Speaker 10: situations and what they were used to doing, you know,
Speaker 10: in the regular season. But you know, we've had bullpen
Speaker 10: games before, and we take a lot of pride in being,
Speaker 10: you know, the guys that are relied on to go
Speaker 10: out there and get the job done. So we fed
Speaker 10: off of one another. You know, Brazier and Anthony Bandis
Speaker 10: had a great TONEU built a good lead offensively, so
Speaker 10: being able to hold that lead throughout the game was
Speaker 10: you know, really just a momentum builder for each guy
Speaker 10: that came out of the bullpen.
Speaker 6: Evan, when you look at this entire season, you all
Speaker 6: have been very nimble, not really confined to one inning,
Speaker 6: but to groupings of hitters. How much did that benefit
Speaker 6: you in a situation like Game four?
Speaker 10: That's a that's such a great point. I think that's
Speaker 10: exactly why we were able to go out there and
Speaker 10: do what we what we did. I think you saw
Speaker 10: you know, guys in different innings than you'd normally see it,
Speaker 10: but you also saw them pitching in similar you know,
Speaker 10: spots of the orderist to which they would, and I
Speaker 10: think doing that throughout the year, you know, you know
Speaker 10: when situations called for it early in the season, or
Speaker 10: you know, it's it's all bracing four when it matters
Speaker 10: most of the posts. And I think you saw that
Speaker 10: in Game four.
Speaker 6: Evan Phillips is our guest just in front of first
Speaker 6: pitch here as Game five is getting ready to go,
Speaker 6: and obviously Yamamoto is starting today, Evan. But in a
Speaker 6: situation like this, all hands on deck, is it the
Speaker 6: same kind of feeling mentality at being ready at any
Speaker 6: point in time?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
Speaker 10: Absolutely, I think you know, they'll communicate, you know what's
Speaker 10: expected of us tonight, you know, pregame. You know, we
Speaker 10: expect Yamamoto go out there and give us his best,
Speaker 10: and we'll be ready to go for at whatever point
Speaker 10: we need to be.
Speaker 6: When Dave Roberts talked about what he may or may
Speaker 6: not do today, he said he would check in with
Speaker 6: all the relievers and see how you were feeling during
Speaker 6: yesterday's workout. What would you say is the consensus on
Speaker 6: how all you guys are feeling?
Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, I think that's just a formality. That's
Speaker 10: Doc being nice to us and taking care of us
Speaker 10: and looking out for us, but we're all gonna be
Speaker 10: ready to go without a doubt.
Speaker 5: When you look at this starts your team.
Speaker 6: You guys have had to overcome a lot of injuries
Speaker 6: and different types of things throughout the season.
Speaker 5: What does it say.
Speaker 6: About each other that you were able to band together
Speaker 6: and force the game five?
Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, I just got chills thinking about it
Speaker 10: because I can go, you know, gut a guy in
Speaker 10: the bullpen, and really, you know, for basically our whole team,
Speaker 10: each guy has endured their own challenges throughout the year,
Speaker 10: whether it's physically on the field or an injury, ebbs
Speaker 10: and flows throughout the season. So for each guy and
Speaker 10: our team really, like I said so, to be able
Speaker 10: to chip away and contribute to the team, contribute to
Speaker 10: these wins in the postseason has been really special. And
Speaker 10: I hope we can do it one more time here
Speaker 10: in Game five and keep on going.
Speaker 6: I know you can appreciate Freddie Freeman and everything he's
Speaker 6: had to go through this year. What does it say
Speaker 6: about him and what's the message to the team that
Speaker 6: he's been able to endure.
Speaker 10: You know, that's something that Freddy's done his entire career.
Speaker 10: He's he's you know, he does whatever he can to
Speaker 10: play at a high level each and every day, and
Speaker 10: you know, I know it's eating at him to not
Speaker 10: be one hundred percent right now, but he's still doing
Speaker 10: everything he can to be available for us. You know,
Speaker 10: we'll see what kind of capacity we get him in
Speaker 10: here tonight, but uh, you know, hopefully it's a benefit
Speaker 10: to the team. And I think that's that's the line
Speaker 10: for Freddie's. He knows if he can go out there
Speaker 10: and contribute, he'll be out there. If he thinks he's
Speaker 10: going to go out there and be detrimental to us
Speaker 10: getting a win, you know, that's when we'll see him
Speaker 10: pull it back. So hopefully we get his best tonight
Speaker 10: and get him back in the lineup. But you know,
Speaker 10: I think you've seen guys step up in spots, especially
Speaker 10: like we saw in Game four with that without Freddy,
Speaker 10: So hopefully we get more of the same tonight.
Speaker 6: Before I let you go, Gavin Leux told me after
Speaker 6: Game four there was a group chat going on amongst
Speaker 6: the teammates to really encourage each other not to give up.
Speaker 6: How late was that group chat going last night and
Speaker 6: how on fire is it?
Speaker 10: Yeah, you know that that group chat's pretty steady, especially
Speaker 10: in situations like this where everyone's pulling their heart their
Speaker 10: heartest for each other. I think you're seeing a lot
Speaker 10: of guys, you know, band together in a different way
Speaker 10: here in the postseason because everything is on the line now,
Speaker 10: you know. And I think that's that's the special part about,
Speaker 10: you know, the camaraderie that we've built throughout the year
Speaker 10: and any guys pulling for each other and you know,
Speaker 10: pushing each other to get the best out of them.
Speaker 10: So group chat has definitely been lively. But we've also
Speaker 10: spent a lot of extra time together. You know, we
Speaker 10: took bus rides to and from San Diego together, just
Speaker 10: you know, building that extra chemistry together to really be
Speaker 10: able to support each other when it matters most.
Speaker 6: Now Game five, Evan, thanks a lot for the time.
Speaker 6: You've been such a big part of this Dodger team,
Speaker 6: and I'd look for it to be no different tonight.
Speaker 3: Thanks a lot, absolutely, thank you.
Speaker 5: Dave there he is.
Speaker 6: Super reliever, Evan Phillips, one of those dogs in that
Speaker 6: Dodger bullpen. We'll send it back to you in the studio,

Speaker 2: first pitch, let's head back over to the booth, the
Speaker 2: two guys on the call, Steven Nelson and Rick Monday.
Speaker 14: Guys, all right, Tim, I'm here with Rick Monday again,
Speaker 14: and mo, I think we do have to begin with
Speaker 14: the pitching matchup once again, just because of what's on
Speaker 14: the line everything for these two teams, You Darvish for
Speaker 14: the Padres, Yoshinobu Yamamoto for the Dodgers, and each of
Speaker 14: these guys have some individuals, some personal demons that they
Speaker 14: can exercise here tonight.
Speaker 4: For Yamamoto, it's simple. The Padres have owned them nine
Speaker 4: innings this year, thirteen earned runs on thirteen, it's four walks,
Speaker 4: four strikeouts. For you, Darvish, they are the ghosts that
Speaker 4: haunt them from a winner take all game back in
Speaker 4: twenty seventeen, that'd be Game seven of the World Series
Speaker 4: against the Houston Astros.
Speaker 8: Yeah, no question. And if we're looking at darbish to
Speaker 8: begin with these zero to five and elimination games, whether
Speaker 8: it be World Series or not. And for Yamamoto, you're
Speaker 8: absolutely right. He's not pitched well, including Game one of
Speaker 8: this series where he was really taking the pillar to post.
Speaker 8: And the question that Dave Roberts came up with after
Speaker 8: the game. Was Yamamoto tipping his pitches? That's something we'll
Speaker 8: be talking about and looking at the fact I talked
Speaker 8: about it second inning of the very first game that
Speaker 8: Yamamotive pitched in spring training, right, and then you can
Speaker 8: say the same thing about you, Darbish. Was he tipping
Speaker 8: his pitches in that World Series in Game seven to
Speaker 8: the Houston Astros. Well, we don't really know. And what
Speaker 8: are the hitters seeing tonight, but the Dodgers have, in
Speaker 8: my mind, take shorter swings. The big swing is vulnerable
Speaker 8: to Darbish, who throws everything but the kitchen scene. If
Speaker 8: he could get a grip on it, and he might
Speaker 8: toss that to hopefully.
Speaker 4: The Dodgers against Darbish's breaking balls when and he's got
Speaker 4: several of them. They were one for thirteen in game
Speaker 4: number two of this series. Look, at this point, it's
Speaker 4: enough talking. It's time to play ball. Game five of
Speaker 4: the Division Series the Dodgers and Padres. The winner goes
Speaker 4: on to the Championship Series. The loser season comes to
Speaker 4: an end.
Speaker 2: All right, thank you guys. First pitch is just minutes away.
Speaker 2: Dodgers getting loose, Padre players getting warmed up on the

Speaker 2: pitch Game five of the NLDS. It's simple when and
Speaker 2: move on to the NLCS, which begins one night. Where
Speaker 2: will it be Dodgers Stadium, Petco Park. We'll find out
Speaker 2: it's the decisive Game five Dodgers Padres. First pitch is next.
Speaker 2: Are you ready, Dodger fans, Let's go first pitch right
