Speaker 1: The right quot.
Speaker 2: Dodgers Playoff Baseball is back, and with it an annual
Speaker 2: postseason tradition.
Speaker 1: Scam is back. Baby.
Speaker 2: This is Saxon Cakes in the a app BA Go
Speaker 2: with Proway. Dodger legend Steve Sacks is joined by your
Speaker 2: favorite Dodger pregame host, Tim Kates. If you want to
Speaker 2: talk Dodgers, get in on the show on eighty six
Speaker 2: six nine, eighty seven two five seven now. While the
Speaker 2: Dan Patrick Show streams on the Ihearts radio app. We've
Speaker 2: been banished to the Internet until this Dodgers playoff run concludes.
Speaker 2: Here they are broadcasting live on AM five to seven
Speaker 2: e LA Sports. It's Tim Kates and Steve Sacks.
Speaker 1: Sax and Kates in the AM and it feels so
Speaker 1: good on this Tuesday morning as the Dodgers have a
Speaker 1: three zho series lead in this twenty twenty four World Series.
Speaker 1: Tim Kats, How long was Steve Sacks here on your
Speaker 1: home of the Dodgers AM five to seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 1: Dodgers a four to two win last night over the Yankees.
Speaker 1: Fat Joe couldn't get the Yankee fans excited or fired up,
Speaker 1: and then the air came out of Yankee Stadium in
Speaker 1: the first inning thanks to Freddie Freeman and that two
Speaker 1: run home run. And then when you've got a dog
Speaker 1: on the mount in Walker Buehler with five shotout innings,
Speaker 1: and then you open up the kennel and the rest
Speaker 1: of the dogs from the bullpen come out for the
Speaker 1: next four innings. The Dodgers get a Game three win,
Speaker 1: and now they are twenty seven outs away from a
Speaker 1: World Series championship, the eighth in franchise history. And for
Speaker 1: this Dodgers team to be the second in the last
Speaker 1: four years, having won in twenty twenty. Another World Series
Speaker 1: run for this Dodgers team. I know a lot Dodger
Speaker 1: fans expected this Dodgers team to beat in this position Saxy,
Speaker 1: but to be in this dominating position against the Yankees,
Speaker 1: I mean, we all wanted the East Coast, West Coast
Speaker 1: Yankees Dodgers all time ever they're meeting. Nineteen eighty one
Speaker 1: was the last time they squared off. Oh, Aaron, Judge,
Speaker 1: Soto and Stanton versus Freeman, Bets and Otani. It's been
Speaker 1: all Dodgers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, hey, look head down and just pound, just pound
Speaker 3: these guys right now, all right, don't don't wake anybody up.
Speaker 3: We don't want any you know, weird things happening. Nobody
Speaker 3: go out there in.
Speaker 1: The press and say these guys suck or anything like that.
Speaker 3: Just leave them be and just go do your thing
Speaker 3: and pound them. I mean, really, do not let this
Speaker 3: thing come back to Los Angeles. You don't want to
Speaker 3: go there, Tim, No, just just do what you're doing.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 3: Notice you don't hear anything about you know, any anything's
Speaker 3: off to the side, that's happening. Robert says, Oh god,
Speaker 3: he's not the problem, you know. It's just they're just
Speaker 3: humming right now. And this is a nice place to be,
Speaker 3: a nice zone to be in right now. Just let
Speaker 3: it continue, and you know, take this thing back to
Speaker 3: LA because you're coming back. Why not for a game?
Speaker 3: What are you coming back for a parade?
Speaker 1: That's it. You want to parade and you want it now,
Speaker 1: keep it simp Los Angeles and the Dodgers are one
Speaker 1: win away from having a parade here in southern California.
Speaker 1: And how sweet it will be him. I want to
Speaker 1: see that parade.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be really exciting to see the intensity with
Speaker 3: the Dodger team tonight. You're not gonna see a team
Speaker 3: that's gonna be laying back and say, well it'll come.
Speaker 3: You know it's gonna come. We'll get it. You're gonna
Speaker 3: see them go out and demand it that they win.
Speaker 1: This intensity or pressure on the Dodger team, No, there's pressure.
Speaker 3: No, there's pressure on the Yankees like you've never seen before. Okay,
Speaker 3: it is just immense.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 3: The other thing, well, the wounded animal with his back filt. Now,
Speaker 3: this team is, this thing is gouged right now, and
Speaker 3: the Dodgers have to finish him off.
Speaker 1: I know Aaron Judge can probably squat a lot of weight,
Speaker 1: but man, the pressure and weight on his shoulders right
Speaker 1: now in New York, I don't know if it's enough
Speaker 1: for him to have. No, hey, you know what, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna say the Dodgers are fortunate because they created
Speaker 1: their own fortune. Okay, But the thing is, it would
Speaker 1: be much tougher for the Dodgers to come in to
Speaker 1: this series when Aaron Judge was in mid season form
Speaker 1: just crushing, you know, because he is the crusha and
Speaker 1: if you bring him in what he does, if he's
Speaker 1: in that zone, he makes everybody else around him a
Speaker 1: lot better he really does. You know what, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take the other side of this, all this national media saying,
Speaker 1: where is Aaron Judge. Why isn't Aaron Judge performing? Why
Speaker 1: isn't Aaron Judge hitting the home runs? Where is Aaron
Speaker 1: Judges offense? Hey, how about some credit to the Dodger pitching.
Speaker 1: How about great job Dodger starters wait to outpitch the
Speaker 1: Yankee starter giving up a one point six two ERA
Speaker 1: for the first sixteen to two thirteens that they've combined
Speaker 1: through three games. How about a great job to the
Speaker 1: Dodgers bullpen and shutting him down.
Speaker 3: Where's the rest of the Yankee team? I mean he's
Speaker 3: not just there a Judge. I mean where's everybody else?
Speaker 3: I mean, this is a tough you know, this is
Speaker 3: a tough a team to face. The starting pitching is
Speaker 3: coming through. Like you said, the bullpen has already been
Speaker 3: one of the best bullpens in baseball. So what I
Speaker 3: got to say to that is they're just coming up
Speaker 3: against a real juggernaut. They're looking at this thing as saying, man,
Speaker 3: the nationally had to face these guys all year long.
Speaker 3: I know we have Interleague, but man, this is something
Speaker 3: that's really devastating. Yeah, it has been a domination, unbelievable
Speaker 3: team that all fronts, pitching, bullpen, offense, defense, which you've
Speaker 3: talked about last hour and again when when Max Monty
Speaker 3: makeshi play like he did at third base last night,
Speaker 3: it looks routine. It's it's not five to three put
Speaker 3: out in your score book there. Just please don't underscore,
Speaker 3: don't underestimate what he's bringing at third base. I mean,
Speaker 3: that's a tough position. You got to have a guy
Speaker 3: over there that can do it, that's dependable. You remember
Speaker 3: what Greg Nettles did in that you know, the World
Speaker 3: Series before that, when the Dodgers couldn't get over the hump,
Speaker 3: it was all about third base in Greg Nettles, that's
Speaker 3: a very important position, and he's handling it with grace.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And albeit it hasn't had to happen a lot, thankfully,
Speaker 1: Freddie Freeman is a witch over at first base with
Speaker 1: that glove. And it's still I'm gonna say it again,
Speaker 1: it is still a flat out shame that he is
Speaker 1: not a finalist for a goal glove. That's ridiculous Nationally,
Speaker 1: that's ridicous. You're telling me he's not one of the
Speaker 1: best three first baseman defensively in the National League. I
Speaker 1: can tell you he's the best first baseman of baseball. Yeah,
Speaker 1: for all the plays that he has had to pick
Speaker 1: up for Mookie Betts, Max Munty, Chris Taylor, Gavin Logs,
Speaker 1: Miguel Rojas and everybody has had to play the infield
Speaker 1: around him. He's had to save their butt all season
Speaker 1: long at some point or another, and yet he's not
Speaker 1: considered one of the top three in the National League.
Speaker 1: Just ask all those infielders about Freddy Freez exactly and
Speaker 1: they'll tell you, Yeah, it's amazing to have a guy
Speaker 1: over there that can pick it.
Speaker 3: Unbelievable, and he's so natural at it, you know, I mean,
Speaker 3: it saves him time after time. So it's it's a
Speaker 3: huge benefit for the Dodgers. We're gonna get to your
Speaker 3: phone calls in just a minute. We got a full
Speaker 3: board of calls, and we love it. Dodger fans, you
Speaker 3: are fired up, and I love it. I am fired
Speaker 3: up right there with you because I see the end
Speaker 3: of the rainbow.
Speaker 1: Here. The pot at the end of the rainbow is
Speaker 1: a championship trophy with the Dodgers name already starting to
Speaker 1: be inscribed on it. They've already got the loss in
Speaker 1: there for Los Angeles.
Speaker 3: I'm wincing when you're saying this, you know, listen, like
Speaker 3: I like them mentality, I like the forethought and the
Speaker 3: positivity and all that.
Speaker 1: That's all great and wonderful things. But just temperate until
Speaker 1: we see what happens after game. After this game, Saxy,
Speaker 1: this thing is Oh, it's naive e r wow over
Speaker 1: are you serious? Now? I've got to ask you, what
Speaker 1: if they come out in the Yankees start shoving tonight
Speaker 1: and the bullpen's done in an inning and a third,
Speaker 1: then what are you gonna say? It's time to get
Speaker 1: to my thumbs, It's time to get to my prolosack,
Speaker 1: whatever I need to take to get that heartburn, that's
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. That's not gonna happen. I don't think
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen. Let's hope not. Let's let's hear from
Speaker 1: the manager Dave Roberts after the game last Night's certainly
Speaker 1: happy about where his teams at, but cautiously optimistic at
Speaker 1: the same time.
Speaker 5: Doc, that couldn't have gone any better for you guys
Speaker 5: or for show, right, I mean, what was your assessment
Speaker 5: of how he was able to weather through swinging at
Speaker 5: the plate and what you saw and all of it.
Speaker 6: I thought he did a really nice job of competing.
Speaker 6: I don't think that you know, it got any worse obviously,
Speaker 6: just him in the batter's box starting the game off,
Speaker 6: getting on base by way of walk, and yeah, I
Speaker 6: just really appreciate him, you know, posting tonight.
Speaker 7: Dave, what can you say about what Walker did tonight
Speaker 7: and really what your rotation has done all series.
Speaker 8: When I think some people on the outside considered it
Speaker 8: maybe a weakness coming into it, Walker was fantastic.
Speaker 6: I think, if you know, if you take out that
Speaker 6: second inning where we didn't play good defense behind him,
Speaker 6: he would have thrown up nothing but zero's in the postseason. Tonight,
Speaker 6: I just thought his stuff was as good as it's
Speaker 6: been all year. I thought the fastball had life, the
Speaker 6: cutter was good, the curveball was good. He pitched all
Speaker 6: quadrants and kept those guys on is, kept Hm at bay.
Speaker 6: There was no stress. So just to get through five
Speaker 6: innings the way he threw the baseball, I thought that's
Speaker 6: all he had. Obviously, there was a little bit of
Speaker 6: kind of emotions, adrenaline, and I couldn't have asked for
Speaker 6: anything more from Walker tonight.
Speaker 1: I mean, given all the conversation about your rotation all.
Speaker 9: Postseason, I mean, how did you realistically expect that you'd
Speaker 9: be getting over eleven innings from your starters, you know,
Speaker 9: in Games two and three of the series.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know what, I think that certainly there was
Speaker 6: a lot said about the rotation, given the injuries that
Speaker 6: we accrued coming into the postseason, But I think that
Speaker 6: we just kind of came together collectively feeling the thirteen
Speaker 6: guys on our roster as far as pitchers, we're going
Speaker 6: to do a good job of preventing runs and so
Speaker 6: obviously it doesn't matter, you know how you get them,
Speaker 6: and we're doing a nice job of kind of piecing
Speaker 6: it together.
Speaker 5: Though, how important was that sequence with Mookie's catch and
Speaker 5: then Tao's throw in the next step at.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the the Tao throw was huge. It obviously killed
Speaker 6: the momentum, and then Mookie's play on the sinking liner
Speaker 6: from Jazz it just kind of, you know, I thought
Speaker 6: Walker was starting to feel it a little bit. There
Speaker 6: were starting to be a little bit more hard contact,
Speaker 6: so to make a defensive play on a sinking liner
Speaker 6: and then net play at the home at home play
Speaker 6: was just huge for all of us.
Speaker 10: Yeah, you're one of the few people on earth who
Speaker 10: know what it's like to come back from a three
Speaker 10: to zero deficit.
Speaker 6: Don't talk about it wrong, guy, way too early.
Speaker 10: What do you remember about your mindset going into that,
Speaker 10: and what maybe did you learn from that that you
Speaker 10: can take into it now that you're on the other side.
Speaker 6: From the other side, I don't want to divulge any secrets,
Speaker 6: but from the other side, I just think that we
Speaker 6: have got to stay focused, stay urgent, I think offensively,
Speaker 6: to be quite honest, we left a lot of runs
Speaker 6: out there tonight. Still found a way to win a
Speaker 6: ball game, and there's just got to be urgency. I
Speaker 6: just don't want to let these guys up for air.
Speaker 1: All right, there's David Robbers last night. The first thing
Speaker 1: I took away from that was he was absolutely spot on.
Speaker 1: Walker Buehler was really good through the three eddies, even
Speaker 1: though he was going deep into pitch counts. The fourth
Speaker 1: they started to square him up a little bit. You
Speaker 1: saw the Stanton double, the left, the hard hit ball
Speaker 1: by Chisholm and when a starting pitcher all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: maybe you know, start to give it up a little bit.
Speaker 1: Dave Roberts said, our defense was there to pick him up.
Speaker 1: Look I love hearing that. Yes, okay, a couple things
Speaker 1: about that. They've seen him a couple of times. They
Speaker 1: get that. Also, Walker Bieler was getting a little bit
Speaker 1: more ballsy, if you will, to get meaty parts of
Speaker 1: the plate because he was starting to feel a little
Speaker 1: bit more. And that's okay, that's okay.
Speaker 3: There's nothing wrong pitching the contact and lots of times
Speaker 3: you'll see guys that have really good stuff they depend
Speaker 3: on the fastball.
Speaker 1: Hitters will time it up. And that's why guys like
Speaker 1: Max Scherzer have led the league and given him home runs,
Speaker 1: but they give him up when nobody's on. So there's
Speaker 1: a nuance to that about you know, barreling up anyway quickly.
Speaker 1: What I want to say about Dave Roberts, I like
Speaker 1: the urgency fact that he's in there, there's one game
Speaker 1: to go, and he's still breaking it down, he's still
Speaker 1: managing the team. He also pointed out that, hey, we
Speaker 1: won a ball game tonight, but we left a lot
Speaker 1: of runners on It's a point that you made earlier
Speaker 1: in the broadcast today, So there is there's still the
Speaker 1: urgency there, keeping them hungry, pointing out deficiencies that they
Speaker 1: need to fix, and they're up three to oh. That's
Speaker 1: a great base to have. Just a couple of other
Speaker 1: nuggets for you. The World Series hasn't ended in a
Speaker 1: sweep since twenty twelve, when the Giants beat the Detroit Tigers.
Speaker 1: The Dodgers have won a best of seven series in
Speaker 1: a sweep. The last time they did it nineteen sixty three,
Speaker 1: the Dodgers beating twins the New York Yankees. Oh, the
Speaker 1: Yankees nineteen sixty three. So in a best of seven series,
Speaker 1: the team that takes a three to oh series lead
Speaker 1: has gone on to win the series thirty nine out
Speaker 1: of forty times, a ninety eight percent clip, including thirty
Speaker 1: one sweeps. The one time a team down three to
Speaker 1: OHO came back and won a series in the postseason,
Speaker 1: Dave Roberts stole a big base for that team. Red
Speaker 1: Sox two thousand and four, Boston Red Sox against the
Speaker 1: New York Yankees. I grew up three nothing on the
Speaker 1: Red Sox in the ALCS. Yeah, that's about one time.
Speaker 1: That's what all the pundit's reup.
Speaker 3: They're saying about billy ball, which by the way, never works,
Speaker 3: And they were saying, yeah, well, you know the Red
Speaker 3: Sox used billy ball and did the work.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you had Verteg and Dusts and Pedroia, big Poppy Geez.
Speaker 1: I had a team like that. I could probably win too.
Speaker 1: Dave Roberts was on that team. So anyway, let's go
Speaker 1: to Bob and Covina next up here on a five
Speaker 1: seventy LA Sports. Thanks for Bob for taking with us
Speaker 1: on your drive. How you doing today.
Speaker 11: I'm good, but I'm done driving. I'm excited. I've been
Speaker 11: a Dodger fan almost sixty years. I remember when Steve
Speaker 11: was a rookie. Anyway, and everything that's been said so far,
Speaker 11: you said a lot of what I want to say.
Speaker 11: I'm going to tell you what I wrote on Facebook
Speaker 11: this morning. I want him to bat around in the
Speaker 11: first inning, score about five runs. Do not take your
Speaker 11: foot off the gas and crush the Yankees. Let's sleep them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt. That's a good point, Bob. Thanks Bob,
Speaker 1: appreciate that. Let's sqeeze in another ones go to Julio
Speaker 1: La Puente. Julio, you're next up on Saxon Kates and
Speaker 1: the How you doing.
Speaker 12: Julio doing good?
Speaker 1: Good morning guys.
Speaker 4: A couple of things.
Speaker 12: I love the show. The lady in the first call
Speaker 12: talking about celebrating. I was six years old when sax
Speaker 12: and the Dodgers won the World Series, and it's been
Speaker 12: a lot of heartache, a lot of tough years since
Speaker 12: eighty eight. We won it in twenty twenty, but now
Speaker 12: it's time for us to really celebrate. Once we get
Speaker 12: to his w tonight and you know what, Roberts, Once
Speaker 12: he wins tonight or tomorrow, whenever it is, it's time
Speaker 12: to some men. I'm up there with Leasorda and the
Speaker 12: other managers that you know, he's been doing great. There's
Speaker 12: a transformation that has been going on with them, and
Speaker 12: it's great to see.
Speaker 1: No doubt about it. Julio appreciate that. Tommy Losorda love him.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer Yo, Yeah. Dodger number two retired Icon,
Speaker 1: two time Nationallygue Manager of the Year nineteen eight three,
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty six, two time World Series Champion nineteen eighty one,
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty eight. If Dave Roberts wins tonight or wins
Speaker 1: this series, which we expect the Dodgers to do, the
Speaker 1: ninety eight percent clip behind them in the history of
Speaker 1: the series, he'll have two World Series championships, just like
Speaker 1: Tommy Lasorda. Think about four World Series appearances in nine years,
Speaker 1: gone to the playoffs. In all nine years as a
Speaker 1: manager of the Dodgers, He's won eight divisional titles in
Speaker 1: those nine years. That's pretty darn good. Is that Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame worthy? Yeah, of course that's a hell of
Speaker 1: a resume. I mean Tommy's got two. Yeah, Tommy's an icon.
Speaker 1: The heck of a resume. Dave Roberts is about to
Speaker 1: have too. Yeah, I don't care what people say, like, well,
Speaker 1: it's the team and it's only the team that does it.
Speaker 3: And you know, it's a thankless job as a manager
Speaker 3: because you only screw it up. I mean, if you
Speaker 3: got good players are gonna win whatever. You know what,
Speaker 3: if he's got the resume, then of course he should
Speaker 3: go in. Look, Tommy and Dave, lot of differences between
Speaker 3: the two as far as personality part. And that's really
Speaker 3: the most important art because look, all the managers and coaches,
Speaker 3: the x'es and o's. They got that figured out. They
Speaker 3: know what they know what calls to make pretty much.
Speaker 3: Managers got his finger to the pulse. He knows what
Speaker 3: the guys like walking into the locker room. Something that,
Speaker 3: of course, all the sabermetrics aren't going to tell you.
Speaker 3: You know, the guy's sick this day, is he's having
Speaker 3: problems with his family ors how about when Freddy Freeman
Speaker 3: had his little boy that was sick.
Speaker 1: I mean, the sabermetrics aren't going to tell you those things.
Speaker 3: Dave Roberts gets it now. He may do it in
Speaker 3: one way and Tommy was another way with all the
Speaker 3: ra ra right, but nonetheless they get the most out
Speaker 3: of their players. They understand and and the team goes along.
Speaker 3: When you're not talking about the manager, that's when the
Speaker 3: team is doing great.
Speaker 1: Eight six, sixth, ninety seven, two five seventy will come back.
Speaker 1: We'll get to more of your phone calls. The Dodgers
Speaker 1: one win away from their eighth World Series championship, their
Speaker 1: second in the last four years. They've got a commanding
Speaker 1: three to zero series lead, Game four to night five
Speaker 1: oh eight. First pitch from Yankees Stadium. We of course
Speaker 1: you're a home of the Dodgers, AM five seventy LA
Speaker 1: Sports At sax and Kates and Am. Thanks for being
Speaker 1: with us Saxon Kate's in the AM on this Tuesday morning,
Speaker 1: October twenty nine. Thanks for being with us. Thanks for
Speaker 1: taking us with you as you take the kids to school,
Speaker 1: as you made the commute to work, as you head
Speaker 1: into the office. You know you got a lot of
Speaker 1: choices out there. We appreciate you taking us with you
Speaker 1: as you make that drive. Saxon, Kates and the AM.
Speaker 1: Steve Sax, Tim Kates and you. David vat Day joins us.
Speaker 1: Next hour we heard from Dave Roberts. We heard from
Speaker 1: Walker Buehler. Coming up, we'll hear from Freddie Freeman and
Speaker 1: shoey Otani as well. Shoey Otani been very quiet in
Speaker 1: this World Series, certainly the shoulder injury last night. Do
Speaker 1: you think it affected him at the plate? He said
Speaker 1: it didn't. He was over for last night. He got
Speaker 1: hit by a pitch he walked to lead off the
Speaker 1: game there in the first inning. What did you see
Speaker 1: in is it bats? What did you see with him
Speaker 1: on the base bats? Do you think it was affecting
Speaker 1: him a lot? Out there that shoulder injury.
Speaker 3: I think he was more in a precautionary mode and
Speaker 3: you know, on the base holding a holding his elbow
Speaker 3: so it wouldn't get you know, extended like we talked
Speaker 3: about with the with doctor Chow and so I think
Speaker 3: that was what he was doing.
Speaker 1: Mostly.
Speaker 3: I don't think, you know, Showy does have a tendency
Speaker 3: to to to chase, and you know it's been maybe
Speaker 3: exploited a little bit in the series because it's natural.
Speaker 3: There's a little very much of a heightened awareness of
Speaker 3: what's at stake and whatnot. So maybe there's some of that,
Speaker 3: But uh yeah, I think it's okay. But I do
Speaker 3: have a little revelation I wanted to tell you about
Speaker 3: really quickly because I know we're on a track here.
Speaker 4: Look.
Speaker 1: Look, when he's on first base, he's chatting it up
Speaker 1: with the guy at first he's got to speak English
Speaker 1: and Anthony Russo were full on talking about it. I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: you know what, he can talk a little bit better.
Speaker 1: Maybe Anthony Ruzzo can speak Japanese. Maybe maybe I don't know,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking it's a little bit easier to to that.
Speaker 1: Maybe show Hey knows some English that we don't know
Speaker 1: about Yeah, I think it's the English of baseball English.
Speaker 1: But it's a good thing, right, Yeah, it's a good thing.
Speaker 1: I mean, I I think I look at Shoeotani is
Speaker 1: hitting two forty five in this series outside the ball
Speaker 1: he hit off the wall at Dodger Stadium. I can't
Speaker 1: think of another instance in which it was like shoey
Speaker 1: Otani putting a stamp on a game. Because it's been
Speaker 1: Freddy Freeman with the walk off. It's been the pitching,
Speaker 1: the starting pitching that's been really good that we've talked about.
Speaker 1: It's been Freddy Freeman again with a home running game too,
Speaker 1: Freddie Freeman again now with a home running game three
Speaker 1: last night, Mookie Betts coming through, the Tommy Edmund home
Speaker 1: run in game two. It's been everybody but show Hey
Speaker 1: for the first.
Speaker 3: Three games and in some weird way, And I know
Speaker 3: you're gonna think this is a stupid statement, but you
Speaker 3: know what, it's a good thing because it's not always
Speaker 3: going to be show Hey. I'd rather spread it it out.
Speaker 3: I'd rather spread it up. Tommy Edmonds in there doing
Speaker 3: it once, he's picking it at third.
Speaker 1: I mean, every but Mookie Betts is having a good
Speaker 1: The Mookie Bets is laughing at that thing about that
Speaker 1: slump before you.
Speaker 3: He's like, no problem now, okay, he's killing it right.
Speaker 3: So it's like that stuff is great? Is it can't
Speaker 3: be all show? Hey Otani?
Speaker 1: Isn't it better that's been spread out amongst the team?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 1: Way better? Absolutely, And that would show hey kind of
Speaker 1: has his moments. Is gonna be way better like tonight.
Speaker 1: How about a nice bomb to right field a Yankee
Speaker 1: Stadium could be? How about a nice bat flip from show?
Speaker 1: Hey O'TOWNI putting an exclamation point on a Dodger World
Speaker 1: series win eight sixty six ninety seven two five seventy.
Speaker 1: By the way, our friend Tracy Murray textan and one
Speaker 1: of if we want a little breakfast this morning, how
Speaker 1: nice makes your way into the office and take a
Speaker 1: medium Americano and you got that down for it. I
Speaker 1: got a thank you, sir, coffee coming our way up.
Speaker 1: I wasn't too hungry right now. I'm not a big
Speaker 1: breakfast person. Saxy huge break I mean they brought us
Speaker 1: those Western bagels yesterday, and you really kicked your way
Speaker 1: through those bagels. Well I did it, mister bagel or
Speaker 1: Western bagel. Right, did you see me kick him right
Speaker 1: in his donut hole? I love it? Did you see that?
Speaker 3: It was a nice yeah, nice straight front kick. Beautiful
Speaker 3: And you know, the funny thing is because he wanted
Speaker 3: to just to squelch. But they're not allowed to talk. Oh,
Speaker 3: so you don't hear a murmur out of those dudes.
Speaker 3: They're they're way down in the confines of the donut
Speaker 3: or the bagel, and you don't hear a word from him.
Speaker 3: I mean I I thumped him pretty good and he
Speaker 3: was like, you didn't say anything.
Speaker 11: No, it's great.
Speaker 1: It's a little intimidating sitting and across from you here
Speaker 1: in studio because you're so ripped and so jacked. And
Speaker 1: you know, now, I'm not ample. I'm just getting by Tim.
Speaker 1: But you're still a guy who is very active in
Speaker 1: what you do and in great shape. But I'm not
Speaker 1: a geriatric yet. I mean, I mean, you're getting close.
Speaker 1: You're still active. It's like I just got off of
Speaker 1: the you know, the walker or something. And I don't
Speaker 1: mean bueler. It's true. I'm not a breakfast guy. I'm
Speaker 1: not somebody who really eats a lot of breakfast unless
Speaker 1: you know, it's really thrown out. Let me give you
Speaker 1: a tip.
Speaker 3: If you eat breakfast, big okay, you got the rest
Speaker 3: of the day to kind of burn it off. No
Speaker 3: carbs after twelve, okay, because you want to give at night,
Speaker 3: No twelve.
Speaker 1: In the afternoon, you can have pasta for lunch. That's great.
Speaker 3: But then later on the day, you know, you start
Speaker 3: to wean that thing off. A dinner, very small dinner,
Speaker 3: maybe a little tiny piece of fish, you know, some steam,
Speaker 3: spinach and uh.
Speaker 1: You know, maybe some iced tea. That's it.
Speaker 3: Maybe a little salad, but not very much at all.
Speaker 3: And then by the time you go to and don't
Speaker 3: eat after thirty and then drink water during the day, and.
Speaker 1: You're real fun. No, it's then you're great, that's not
Speaker 1: that's not that cars afternoon, right, don't eat anything after
Speaker 1: six thirty. No nothing.
Speaker 8: No.
Speaker 1: Next thing you're gonna say is don't drink a cup
Speaker 1: of wine or no any alcohol ar.
Speaker 3: Treak any alcohol at all or something. Never have alcohol.
Speaker 3: I've never had it, never did it, so and I
Speaker 3: don't miss it.
Speaker 2: So just do that.
Speaker 11: Are you sure?
Speaker 1: Are you a breakfast guy? Yeah? Big time? Yeah, love it.
Speaker 1: Stack it on you can have the rest of the
Speaker 1: day to burn it off.
Speaker 11: Bro.
Speaker 1: How about Tommy Lissorda. Is you at breakfast guy? Oh,
Speaker 1: Tommy Lessorda. I'll tell you we're talking about Tommy Lasorda
Speaker 1: Dave Roberts comparing the two. Lasorda is a Hall of Famer,
Speaker 1: two World Series championships, and so you talk about Here's
Speaker 1: what Tommy would say. He come in, guys are talking
Speaker 1: about diets on the team. He says, let me talk
Speaker 1: to you guys. What I had for for today for breakfast?
Speaker 1: I had chickteen Chalamanders, forty seven popcorn free tattage, twenty
Speaker 1: eight tire irons, chickschen galllengs, that swamp water, nineteen b
Speaker 1: kay put and twelve diet shoutitch and I feel super
Speaker 1: That was Tommy. That was for breakfast. For breakfast. Oh,
Speaker 1: he kind of stacked it on in the morning. He could.
Speaker 1: He could put it down right, for sure. He diet
Speaker 1: coke guy, Tommy, you know that what a redundancy that is, right,
Speaker 1: He's gotta have a diet coke. I remember one time
Speaker 1: we had an off day and Tommy says, look, everybody
Speaker 1: at Newport Beach at eleven thirty it was an off
Speaker 1: d It was a team building bonding thing, right, love that. Okay,
Speaker 1: So we get there and I was one of the
Speaker 1: first guys there. Tommy's had eleven thirty. He was there
Speaker 1: already at eleven on the beach with the French speedo on.
Speaker 1: This was ugly. I mean this, this was ugly. You
Speaker 1: never believe it. Tim twelve people all of a sudden
Speaker 1: came out of the bushes from green Peace and tried
Speaker 1: to roll them back on the water.
Speaker 3: It was frightened to see this. It was just unbelievable.
Speaker 3: So you guys had a beach day, yeah, and he
Speaker 3: was there and he was wailing it out right there
Speaker 3: on the beach all by himself. It's like, God mighty Tommy.
Speaker 3: But but something else on. You couldn't even see the
Speaker 3: bathing suit. It was just enveloped.
Speaker 1: So what do you wait, what are you guys doing
Speaker 1: as a team, Bonnie and you guys laying out? Yes,
Speaker 1: it was like, you know, we were there till like
Speaker 1: till twelve to two. It was just a quick way.
Speaker 1: Are you telling Pedro Degreda to roll over because he's
Speaker 1: to sunburned on his back or something like? What are
Speaker 1: you guys doing it was it was just like a
Speaker 1: little mashball. You know, they had a little you know,
Speaker 1: nerf ball and you know they were throwing it around.
Speaker 1: And then it was only like two hours and we left.
Speaker 1: But it was like a team building thing. But he
Speaker 1: shows up in this French bikini bathing suit. It's like,
Speaker 1: you've got to be kidding me, right, I mean he
Speaker 1: was like the ultimate wearing that thing is the ultimate crackosaurus.
Speaker 1: I mean, it was just disgusting. It was nothing you
Speaker 1: want to look at. Do you think Tommy did it
Speaker 1: just because he was Tommy he didn't care or was
Speaker 1: it Tommy Lisora thinking I'm gonna be yeah, I'm gonna up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he wanted to light up to make fun of me.
Speaker 1: So they can all have something in common. Exactly, we
Speaker 1: did a common denomination. We already did things to him
Speaker 1: that you'd never do to even teammate, but we did
Speaker 1: him to him. Well, we sent his luggage off to
Speaker 1: different places, we locked him in his room and spring training.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I mean we we did some things I
Speaker 1: can't even tell you on the air because it's a
Speaker 1: family show. But we did think Sam that that were
Speaker 1: just reprehensible. He sent his luggage to others. He sent
Speaker 1: it to Hawaii. Yeah, his luggage went to Hawaii when
Speaker 1: road tripped on no clothes. Yeah, we did some things
Speaker 1: to him were pretty bad. Obviously he knows that you
Speaker 1: guys doing. Of course he didn't. He just what guy
Speaker 1: it was. Yeah, he just didn't know. Did he take
Speaker 1: it out in the team? Oh? He Sometimes We did
Speaker 1: things to him that he had to enjoy on the
Speaker 1: off day. And he came back on the day of that,
Speaker 1: you know, after an off day with his eyes sunk
Speaker 1: back in his head as Harris all messed up, and
Speaker 1: he says, Oh, I get you shuckers. I'll get you
Speaker 1: guys that did that. We did some bad stuff to
Speaker 1: him anyway, Oh my god. So yeah, it was fun.
Speaker 1: Though it's a different time. It was a great time.
Speaker 1: It was a great time. You go in that clubhouse
Speaker 1: and it was a you could say, do whatever you wanted.
Speaker 1: It was open door policy. And if he had if
Speaker 1: he had a time to rip you, you know, it
Speaker 1: came down to it, he'd take in the office and
Speaker 1: he'd rip you bad, right, all fun and game. But
Speaker 1: he no, and he and he wouldn't do it in
Speaker 1: front of the press. Though, which was great. But if
Speaker 1: he had to rip you he would was it a
Speaker 1: loud yelling or yea, he was like screaming at you.
Speaker 1: And then afterwards he'd give you a hug and kiss
Speaker 1: you and say, okay, let's eat. It was over, let's eat,
Speaker 1: let's eat. Of course it ended with that, and you
Speaker 1: looked at your watches that I can't eat because after
Speaker 1: right right, it was fun. Let's go out to the
Speaker 1: phones eight six six ninety seven two five.
Speaker 8: Wait.
Speaker 1: The Dodgers had a team bonding event in Newport Beach. Yes,
Speaker 1: who does that, Lasorda, I guess, I mean, I don't know, man.
Speaker 1: But in the message was like, hey, bring a towel,
Speaker 1: bring a towel the kids. We're going to have a
Speaker 1: nice fun time. You know, there was food out there.
Speaker 1: There was a whole bunch of all the families got
Speaker 1: to go to families came out.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So it was twenty five Dodger players, bring your wife
Speaker 1: and kids, and it was it was. It was a
Speaker 1: good time. It was fun. But when I got there
Speaker 1: early and I saw him out there and then the
Speaker 1: Green Peace people came up and tried to roll him
Speaker 1: back in, it was it was crazy. That is awesome,
Speaker 1: savon rialto You're next up with sax of Kate today.
Speaker 1: Am I doing?
Speaker 14: Sam Hey? Good morning, How you guys doing fantastic day,
Speaker 14: Sam so Hey. I wanted to bring up a couple
Speaker 14: of points about the Dodgers Yankees. You know, I think
Speaker 14: that Dodgers are really in their heads the mental game.
Speaker 14: They're winning. They're winning big. I mean all phases they're
Speaker 14: they're executing, and you know, Dodgers have things that don't
Speaker 14: go their way, but they just move on. The Yankees.
Speaker 14: They're sitting there arguing with the umpire, going out in
Speaker 14: the field, shaking their head. They won't let it go.
Speaker 14: It's amazing to see. And I had one question for
Speaker 14: you guys too. I didn't see Kershaw on the benches.
Speaker 14: He on the benches, he's able to help enjoy He's
Speaker 14: been around.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he is with the team, Sam, no doubt about it.
Speaker 1: And he is a big part of this team off
Speaker 1: the field, even though he can't pitch in this postseason.
Speaker 1: No doubt Clayton Kershaw's is there in that dugout in
Speaker 1: the clubhouse as well. He brought the mental part of
Speaker 1: a series like this sexy and being up three to
Speaker 1: zero on a team. You know, going into a series,
Speaker 1: maybe you have a mental advantage. Is there such a
Speaker 1: thing in professional sports as a baseball player to go
Speaker 1: into a series with the mental advantage because you're facing
Speaker 1: the big bad Yankees or on the reverse side, you're
Speaker 1: facing the big bad Dodgers from La.
Speaker 3: Let me give you another translation for being in their head.
Speaker 3: It's called matchups. And you see it in other sports.
Speaker 3: You know, the Lakers would play you know, maybe not
Speaker 3: the Celtics, but another team, and they couldn't get past them.
Speaker 1: They weren't as good as they were. They just couldn't
Speaker 1: get past it.
Speaker 3: You're seeing boxing all the time, the top guy gets
Speaker 3: knocked off by the number five contender because the matchup
Speaker 3: is not good for the guy on the top. Maybe
Speaker 3: we're seeing this being revealed to us that the matchup
Speaker 3: that the Yankees have with the Dodgers is not going
Speaker 3: good for them. I mean, the way the Dodgers pitch,
Speaker 3: the way the Yankees hit, not a good matchup for them.
Speaker 3: And that's probably what we're seeing.
Speaker 1: Well, the starting pitching. A lot of people didn't think
Speaker 1: the Dodgers were a good matchup against the Yanks because
Speaker 1: the Yankees offense was gonna take apart this Dodger starting
Speaker 1: pitching because it's so decimated by injuries, and it's completely
Speaker 1: flipped the other way. The difference. Dodger starting pitching has
Speaker 1: been absolutely dominant, more dominant than the Yankees, who have
Speaker 1: got twelve combined innings from their starters. Last night, Clark
Speaker 1: Griswold or whatever his name is, Clark Schmidt Mark Schmidt
Speaker 1: couldn't get out of the third inn twelve innings, six
Speaker 1: e r A combined in the first three stars. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: the Dodgers three starters flirty Yamamoto and last night walk
Speaker 1: revealer sixteen and two thirds combined inning a sub two
Speaker 1: er for that six star. I mean, if you on
Speaker 1: the on set and you said this is what our
Speaker 1: starter's gonna do for the Dodgers, you'd say game over.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's exactly right. It all comes down to pitching,
Speaker 3: and then you throw the bullpen on top of that.
Speaker 1: Lights out. The dogs are barking down there. I mean, yes, tonight,
Speaker 1: that that bullpen cage. I mean, that thing is gonna
Speaker 1: be like a bunch of rabbit dogs down there. They're
Speaker 1: gonna be shaking that thing. They're all gonna want to
Speaker 1: come in see.
Speaker 3: If I was on that team, I would have thirteen
Speaker 3: shirts and that bullpen printed up with their particular size,
Speaker 3: and I'd have a big junkyard dog in the front
Speaker 3: of that shirt and that's all it said. You know,
Speaker 3: this is for the bullpen or whatever, but have a
Speaker 3: big picture of a dog and have wearing that under
Speaker 3: the shirt.
Speaker 1: That's cool. The whole Fox. You know, they do the
Speaker 1: videos going in and out of commercials and it's the
Speaker 1: players looking at the championship trophy, were throwing the ball
Speaker 1: up in the air. It's kind of that that b
Speaker 1: Roll film, you know what I'm talking about. Well, the
Speaker 1: bullpen guys, I don't know if you've seen it. All
Speaker 1: the bullpen relievers are together. It's not individual. They're all
Speaker 1: together in this group shot with the camera looking at them.
Speaker 1: And they all got that that mask on. I think
Speaker 1: it's a mister Cartoon mask. It's a it's a I
Speaker 1: don't know, it's like a Halloween mask they're all wearing. Okay,
Speaker 1: but it just shows again this group wants to do
Speaker 1: everything together. It's not about me, it's not about you,
Speaker 1: it's about we, and they're all doing this Fox media
Speaker 1: hit together.
Speaker 3: That's great point. And you know the other thing is,
Speaker 3: how about when the Dodgers really turned a page and
Speaker 3: they said, look, we want to see somebody. We want
Speaker 3: to see everybody step over the line of commitment. Everybody
Speaker 3: gets together for those eight hours during the day when
Speaker 3: you're not here, and we're going to spend all the
Speaker 3: time together, playing ping pong, doing all these things and
Speaker 3: just have a togetherness with this team. That might have
Speaker 3: been a big turning point for this team to really
Speaker 3: up the annie and put the singing to a different level.
Speaker 1: It's like going on to Newport Beach together and hanging
Speaker 1: out on the beach. There you go, Tommy Lasorda. I
Speaker 1: think part of the thing was you had to get
Speaker 1: past the visual of Tommy on the beach. That was
Speaker 1: part of it. Armando and Weshills was waiting patiently on
Speaker 1: this Tuesday morning. Thank you Armando, Good morning. How you
Speaker 1: doing today?
Speaker 15: Hey Sexy Kate, how are you guys? Fantastic good I
Speaker 15: mean I just want to come on real quick and
Speaker 15: say that this team is so different this year. I
Speaker 15: mean I'm hearing a lot of great things about how
Speaker 15: everyone's together, but this team finds a way to win
Speaker 15: no matter what, even if it's on the offensive side
Speaker 15: or defensive side. Last night, Tommy had been bunting back
Speaker 15: to the picture for getting getting Gavin thrown out at home,
Speaker 15: and then they bounce back the bottom of the extending
Speaker 15: mookie with that catch and right Sale throwing out Stanton
Speaker 15: as he's running running the bases like he's going through
Speaker 15: a home run trot. These guys are just hungry and
Speaker 15: it's it's great to see, Saxy. Can you explain a
Speaker 15: little bit about that rule and clear up of about
Speaker 15: when players blocked the plate or blocked the base.
Speaker 3: Be glad to thanks, Harmondo. So the rule is the
Speaker 3: way I know it, uh, and it's been a standing
Speaker 3: rule for a long time, is that the player has
Speaker 3: to have a clear path to the base. You can't
Speaker 3: interrupt the players you know, track towards the base. However,
Speaker 3: if the ball gets there before the player gets there,
Speaker 3: the the guy that the defender has a chance if
Speaker 3: he wants to block the player, block him from from
Speaker 3: trying to you know, slide in. That's a perfectly normal
Speaker 3: play if the ball gets there first.
Speaker 1: Right now.
Speaker 3: The problem with this is is Mike Soosha put this
Speaker 3: into vogue at the time is that the player would slide.
Speaker 3: My social would pounce on him after he gave up
Speaker 3: and slid, So he's got no more momentum other than,
Speaker 3: you know, just the force coming in there, but there
Speaker 3: was no more running. When he left his feet, Socia
Speaker 3: would pounce and kind of wait for the ball three
Speaker 3: or four seconds, catch the ball and the tag the
Speaker 3: guy out and get away with it all the time.
Speaker 3: That's why Jack Clark hit him with the elbow when
Speaker 3: he was coming across the home plate and knocked him out. Okay,
Speaker 3: So the rule being again that if the player's got
Speaker 3: a clear path to the to the to the plate,
Speaker 3: and the ball is coming in and the ball beats
Speaker 3: the player the runner, then you can go ahead and
Speaker 3: pounce on it. Right, But unless the ball is there,
Speaker 3: you got to let the player go through. You can't
Speaker 3: pounce on him. That's the rule, correct. That's going to
Speaker 3: block the plate. You have to leave a clear lane
Speaker 3: if you do not have the ball that's waiting for
Speaker 3: the play at home plate.
Speaker 1: That's correct. Once you have the ball, it's all it's
Speaker 1: all good. It's all good. And that's what happened last
Speaker 1: night in that safety squeeze that the Armando was referencing to,
Speaker 1: and there was some questions to the Dodgers challenged it,
Speaker 1: saying there was no clear lane. The ball got there first,
Speaker 1: and that's when I think was Trevino the catcher, Yeah,
Speaker 1: blocked made a good play. Yeah it was.
Speaker 8: It was.
Speaker 1: It was close, but the ball got there first. Then
Speaker 1: you can't put the knee down right and the body
Speaker 1: down in front. I hope that's good for Romando. Yeah, Absolu,
Speaker 1: that was a great description. Sexy eight six six nine
Speaker 1: eighty seven two five seventy. Come out. We will hear
Speaker 1: from Shoeyo Tani. Next hour, we'll hear from Freddy Freeman.
Speaker 1: They've in vest A joins this and you one line

Speaker 1: It's Saxon Kate's in the Am. The Dodgers one went
Speaker 1: away from an eighth World Series championship. We are your
Speaker 1: home of the Dodgers a five seventy l A Sports,
Speaker 1: Saxon Kates in the Am on A five seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 1: Thanks for being with us on this Tuesday morning, October
Speaker 1: twenty ninth, twenty twenty four Dodgers a four to two
Speaker 1: win over the New York Yankees last night in Game
Speaker 1: three of the World Series as the Dodgers now one,
Speaker 1: went away from their eighth World Series championship. Tonight a
Speaker 1: bullpen game for the Dodgers. First pitch at five eight
Speaker 1: from the Gallopin Motors broadcast booth. We, of course, brought
Speaker 1: to you by Chef Marinito Seasoning, the seasoning partner of
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. It's World Series time, bring out the chef
Speaker 1: in you show Tani has been very quiet so far
Speaker 1: in this World Series, and the Dodgers, despite that, have
Speaker 1: a three oh series lead. Here's show he last night,
Speaker 1: after playing with the shoulder injury and talking with the.
Speaker 9: Media, Hey, when you first got hurt, how bad did
Speaker 9: you think it was? Did you think your season might
Speaker 9: be over? And then at what point, uh did you
Speaker 9: did you? Were you confident that you could play in
Speaker 9: this game?
Speaker 8: Hey?
Speaker 1: No, must have.
Speaker 7: Initially I wasn't really exactly sure. I was really concerned
Speaker 7: about whether I was safe or out. It was only
Speaker 7: when I went back inside where we have to figure
Speaker 7: out what it was. The paint had subsided so I
Speaker 7: felt pretty good about it.
Speaker 1: Was the shoulder impacting your swing at all? Did you
Speaker 1: feel it at all when you're at the plate tonight.
Speaker 16: Not taping the site dead, shetd.
Speaker 8: To.
Speaker 7: I taped myself up today, so it did feel different
Speaker 7: from compared to when I don't tape myself. The last
Speaker 7: at bat, you know, I felt like, you know, if
Speaker 7: I took that ball, it would have been a walk.
Speaker 7: So I still felt like I had a pretty good
Speaker 7: at that.
Speaker 8: There is there any chance you will need surgery for
Speaker 8: this when the season is over, Sadayn, I do.
Speaker 7: I haven't had further conversations about h the future plan.
Speaker 7: I think it's something that's going to happen after this
Speaker 7: the season is over. Uh, the additional test thing, But
Speaker 7: in terms of how I feel now, I don't think so.
Speaker 1: All Right, there's last night with his translator Will Yeah,
Speaker 1: so let's hope, Yeah, let's snow surgery needed. By the way,
Speaker 1: our buddy doctor David Chow, who was on the show yesterday,
Speaker 1: text me last night and said, uh, I think our
Speaker 1: otani analysis is pretty good. I said, that's right, Doc,
Speaker 1: you were spot on, and he said they challenged him
Speaker 1: a little normal otani denies he was hit on the foot.
Speaker 1: Uh so Tani takes it injuries, Oh, TONI takes it. Yeah, yeah, TONI.
Speaker 1: Last night, his presence alone, I mean he may have
Speaker 1: got over three at the walk and hit by pitch,
Speaker 1: but the presence alone with that top spot and what
Speaker 1: he could do, yes, and the potential there, it's a
Speaker 1: threat of the hitches.
Speaker 3: It changes the way the pitchers approach, It changes the
Speaker 3: way they look at the whole lineup as a whole.
Speaker 3: And remember, Otani's just the leadoff hitter once and then
Speaker 3: after that you go through that lineup and it's the
Speaker 3: bottom of that lineup that's going to support and give
Speaker 3: him the opportunity to really shine. And you see his
Speaker 3: numbers certainly show that. When there's runners on base and
Speaker 3: they come to the meaty parts of the plate, he
Speaker 3: hammers them. And he's been extremely valuable in driving and
Speaker 3: runs and the bottom of the order has been able
Speaker 3: to support that for him.
Speaker 1: Last night, the Dodgers deliver with a home run from
Speaker 1: Freddie Freeman. Mookie Betts delivers with an RBI singles. The
Speaker 1: Dodgers go on and win it forty two to take
Speaker 1: Game three. Last night, Naked Long Beaches. Next up here
Speaker 1: on Saxon Kates in the am. Nick, how you doing.
Speaker 4: I'm doing great, obviously, guys. Lifelong stopt lander, went to
Speaker 4: Lagoon Beach High School. Love the Dodgers, Saxy watched your
Speaker 4: whole career. I got two things to say. The first
Speaker 4: thing has to do with this recipe for a comeback
Speaker 4: from my Yankee friends. Yankee fan friends. This is what
Speaker 4: you get to do today about five those steps. Well,
Speaker 4: first of all, number one, go down three okay, check
Speaker 4: number two, five oh seven, Turn on your HD, lean back,
Speaker 4: close your eyes. This isn't going to hurt very much.
Speaker 4: That's that's your recipe. Okay, now, SAXI, I think you'll
Speaker 4: know what I'm talking about. My favorite thing growing up
Speaker 4: playing baseball through high school was, you know, a nine
Speaker 4: player four bag infield. Okay, and I don't even know
Speaker 4: if they do that anymore. I certainly don't see it
Speaker 4: in the major leagues. But when you get through a
Speaker 4: perfect infield where every cut is made every all the
Speaker 4: way through the guy bugging, and you run in and
Speaker 4: bare handed and throw it at first, yeah, a perfect
Speaker 4: infield was the greatest. It was my favorite thing about baseball.
Speaker 4: And when you watch that play, that was the most
Speaker 4: perfect textbook throwout from left field. You see the shortstop
Speaker 4: going and covering third base, you see Moncy faking the
Speaker 4: cutoff to hold the runner at first base, and then
Speaker 4: you see the catcher going up the line and doing
Speaker 4: that swhite tag. It was just it was so perfect,
Speaker 4: and it's Baseball is such a beautiful game. And in
Speaker 4: the second play was the last play of the game
Speaker 4: where the shortstop came over and he spun. I'm old
Speaker 4: enough to remember when shortstop spinning was not a thing
Speaker 4: really until Augie Smith. But he got it and he
Speaker 4: spun and he threw that ball. Oh, it is so
Speaker 4: beautiful to watch. But the most beautiful thing are our Dodgers. Baby,
Speaker 4: let's bring it home.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Nick, great, I'll take it for a second. Great
Speaker 3: analogy that he made right there. When he's talking about
Speaker 3: the perfect infield that's infield practice, and the throw from
Speaker 3: left field was absolutely spot on. We don't see the
Speaker 3: infield practices anymore, Tim. They do take a lot of
Speaker 3: ground balls during batting practice, but we don't have an
Speaker 3: inf we don't have a formal infil practice.
Speaker 1: Which I kind of miss. Yeah, they'll take one hundred
Speaker 1: round balls before and during VP. But that whole infield outfield,
Speaker 1: as you talked about, lead up to first pitch, when
Speaker 1: everybody's there getting ready for first pitch of the game.
Speaker 1: They they don't do it anymore. Yeah, absolutely right.
Speaker 3: One of the things I want to say that that
Speaker 3: really infuriates me is when I see them not hit
Speaker 3: the cutoff man and they just the runner just hit,
Speaker 3: gets the base hit. The guy's coming around second to
Speaker 3: third and the runner just keeps running. He doesn't even
Speaker 3: look up and see if the throw is online. He
Speaker 3: just keeps running because they're not going to hit the
Speaker 3: cutoff man. Well, the throw from taoscar was was pitch
Speaker 3: perfect because you can throw runners out through the cutoff man.
Speaker 3: You don't have to go over him, you can throw
Speaker 3: him out through the cutoff man. And that's exactly what
Speaker 3: he did. That was a dart that he threw nine
Speaker 3: miles per hour.
Speaker 1: They can now figure out how fast these balls are
