But he's gonna have his 32 00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:46.879 hands full with this Dodgers offense tonight. These guys are hungry. 33 00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:49.400 These guys want to finish it off.

They're hungry. 37 00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:01.760 Not only the dog gonna be barking tonight, but the 38 00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:04.480 offense is gonna be barking, and the Dodgers are ready 39 00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:06.959 to go tonight with a bullpen game. Who starts for 40 00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:09.800 the Dodgers, we'll find out. It'll be a matchup by matchup, 41 00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:12.840 any by any situation for Dave Roberts, and I have 42 00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:16.680 to believe Sax. Even though the Dodgers used six different 43 00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:21.479 relievers last night the load outside of Brazier and twenty 44 00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:24.599 two pitches, I mean Hudson through twenty two, Copek through 45 00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:28.479 twenty four. Even if you threw twenty plus pitches as 46 00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:31.400 a reliever, I have to imagine in a close out 47 00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:34.479 game of a World Series, a chance to hoist that 48 00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:37.599 trophy and sweep the Yankees. If Dave Roberts came to 49 00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:41.039 you and said, hey, Blake Tryning, Michael Kopeck, Daniel Hudson, 50 00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:44.199 I know you pitched last night twenty three pinchs. Do 51 00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:45.919 you have it in you to come back out tonight 52 00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:48.120 and give me twenty more? Give me an inny, give 53 00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:49.080 me three outs. 54 00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:50.800 At least a guy, at least at least one in 55 00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:54.240 a crucial situation. Absolutely, any of these guys are gonna 56 00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:56.520 say I mean no, Doc said right. And if they're not, 57 00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:58.479 they're not available. But you know what, to get a 58 00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:02.560 guy up, absolutely there. I think we're gonna need. The 59 00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:06.319 Dodgers are gonna need, uh, you know, maybe one bulk guy. 60 00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:09.599 Maybe it's Casparious, maybe it's Honeywell or hey, maybe it 61 00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:12.080 could be lending Neck, who knows, but they may need 62 00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:13.800 maybe two or three out of one of those guys. 63 00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:16.840 If they get it, great, and then it's look at it. 64 00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:20.360 If it's five to two and the Yankees are threatening, 65 00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:22.840 it's all hands on deck. I mean, I think they 66 00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:26.080 pour everything into this and and you just shut these 67 00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:28.439 guys down, one guy at a time. Is there a 68 00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:38.080 scenario where no, he's not gonna pitch Flairty, No, he's 69 00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:41.240 not gonna pitch him. Well, you still hope he does. 70 00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:45.280 There is a corner of your heart, a recess of 71 00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:48.879 your soul. It thinks maybe he'll pitch there is Look, 72 00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:53.080 he's not for show, not not for like, you know, 73 00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:56.800 ninth inning. Their bases are loaded, you've spent the bullpen. 74 00:03:57.319 --> 00:03:59.360 Is he gonna pitch? I gotta say probably not. 75 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:00.319 He's not. 76 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:04.919 This scenario eight two Dodgers lead, ninth inning, Why and 77 00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:05.879 you need one out? 78 00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:06.120 No? 79 00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:08.360 What eight two Dodgers winning? 80 00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:11.719 No, it's the ninth inning and it's one out. 81 00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:13.840 To God put Munsey in. 82 00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:16.839 There's If it's eight to two, No, you're not gonna 83 00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:19.600 You're not gonna risk show. Hey, let's say he rips 84 00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:22.120 a flexor tendon and then what are you gonna do? 85 00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:24.639 Oh my god, what are you doing? You're up eight 86 00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:25.000 to two? 87 00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:29.959 I think this shoulder sublextionnation or whatever it is, the separation, 88 00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:33.079 the popping out of the joint, I think it probably 89 00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:37.079 has squashed any hope of me wanting show Hey o 90 00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:37.800 Tany to pitch. 91 00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:40.199 Well, luckily it's the other shoulder, so you know, I mean. 92 00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:42.800 The whole you know, pitching, and you know it separates 93 00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:44.680 a whole movement, right, I don't. I just don't see 94 00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:49.800 him pitching, no absolute tim even maybe there's a chance, I. 95 00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:50.360 Don't think so. 96 00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:53.120 I mean, I know the fans and everybody would probably 97 00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:56.279 like that show.

But I can't 192 00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:13.240 remember that. 193 00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:15.559 Everybody used to use that little. 194 00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:19.519 Radio and and go inside the Dodger Stadium and listening 195 00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:21.159 to the Dodgers, listen to balance. 196 00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:23.240 This is how we feel this year. 197 00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:26.600 I think we're gonna do it again. We're gonna do 198 00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:29.720 it again. I got the feeling that we're gonna do 199 00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:34.120 it again. And all the fans they're up there, please 200 00:09:34.799 --> 00:09:38.360 don't you know, don't don't start breaking window. We're gonna 201 00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:42.360 celebrate the Dodgers. We're in LA and they celebrate the rightway. 202 00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:47.080 Don't celebrate nothing. Don't shut up to Fernando Garcia up 203 00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:49.759 there with Charlene, Arlene and Michael. 204 00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:52.679 They're listening to you. They only led three or four 205 00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:53.399 five years old. 206 00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:56.679 Steve, I love you, had. 207 00:09:57.000 --> 00:10:02.279 Ye loves himself. What's a good dude. I like that. 208 00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:04.120 I love the passion. Yeah, he's right. 209 00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:08.519 If the Dodgers are fortunate to celebrate tonight with a championship, 210 00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:12.200 celebrate the right way. Dodger fans celebrate the safe way. 211 00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:15.360 They will out there, they will, they will. Don't be knucklehead, 212 00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:20.440 they're doing something stupid. Celebrate together, come together together as 213 00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:22.639 a community, and celebrate with the Dodgers were able to 214 00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:24.159 accomplish as a city in. 215 00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:25.639 When we won an eighty eight. 216 00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:29.840 There was no crazy celebration knuckleheads out there. It was great, 217 00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:33.240 it was classy, it was perfect. Do you remember the 218 00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:34.679 night of celebration in Oakland? 219 00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:35.039 That night? 220 00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:38.600 Oh yeah, guys, one guys, back to the team hotel. 221 00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:41.480 I think that night, I remember going off to a 222 00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:45.120 little room by myself, and two like five feet away 223 00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:47.840 the celebration had started. I went into this room there 224 00:10:47.879 --> 00:10:50.159 was It was so weird because there was just this 225 00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:53.120 little catacomb off to the side with a chair in it. 226 00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:55.559 I thought, this is weird. Did somebody put this in here? 227 00:10:55.919 --> 00:10:57.720 And I went in there and I took my uniform off. 228 00:10:57.759 --> 00:11:00.639 I wanted to keep it for posterity. And I sat 229 00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:03.639 in this chair and I can hear the muffled sounds 230 00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:06.159 of the celebrations starting just a few feet away because 231 00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:09.039 I had the door closed and tim I was so 232 00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:13.440 absolutely physically and mentally exhausted. I could have went to sleep. Wow, 233 00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:16.879 I could have absolutely dozed off and went to sleep 234 00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:19.600 with all of that happening. I was that tired. And 235 00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:22.399 then of course I got my uniform stuffed away and 236 00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:24.559 back into the room for excitement, and then you know, 237 00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:26.720 coming back, I went on. I think I went on 238 00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:30.240 Good Morning America at four thirty am, so I never 239 00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:33.799 got to sleep. The flight home to La I went, 240 00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:37.039 had a car pick me up, went right did Good 241 00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:39.519 Morning in America for you know, the East coast. At 242 00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:42.200 seven thirty and I was on four thirty here. That's 243 00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:45.559 why you get sick because of all that and then 244 00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:46.320 but it was great. 245 00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:47.399 I can tell you. 246 00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:51.039 Afterwards, I flew up to Sacramento after it was all done, ye, 247 00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:55.200 and my mom just took care of me. I slept 248 00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:57.799 in this big bed. Nobody could call me. My mom 249 00:11:57.879 --> 00:11:59.879 was cooking that Italian food for like ten days. 250 00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:03.279 It was great. It was amazing. My mom was amazing mother. 251 00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:07.320 That is awesome. That is absolutely awesome. Night is celebration. 252 00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:09.600 You're not a guy who drinks, so what do you 253 00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:11.240 sip on? What are you doing in that celebration? 254 00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:13.440 Is nothing better than a pizza and a Coca cola? Dude? 255 00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:15.440 Are you kidding me? And I'm not trying to be corny, 256 00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:19.039 but I just dig it. That's what I like. That's awesome. Yeah, 257 00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:19.639 that is awesome. 258 00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:22.159 He is Steve Saxon, Tim Kates. It's sax and Kate's 259 00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:25.360 and am Will in the great city of Burbank here 260 00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:26.240 in the eight one eight Will. 261 00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:28.879 Good morning, Hey, good. 262 00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:30.360 Morning, gentlemen. Thank you so much. 263 00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:32.360 What a great series. 264 00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:35.080 And just the games have been wonderful because the Dodgers 265 00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:36.799 have been winning. I was blessed enough to be in 266 00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:40.480 person in Game one witness that Freddie Freeman historic Grand 267 00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:43.960 Slam with my son teenage son flashback years ago I 268 00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:46.399 was a teenager with my father watching Gibson hit his 269 00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:49.120 home runs. A full circle of life there. I just 270 00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:51.840 want to comment on just how wonderful it is to 271 00:12:51.879 --> 00:12:53.559 watch the games to night, but then to wake up 272 00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:56.039 and do that long drive into work and listen to 273 00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:58.759 YouTube every morning. I'm gonna miss that once the Dodgers 274 00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:01.840 win the World Series. The nuggets between you two and 275 00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:04.600 Saxey my favorite line with my kids. Then dropping off 276 00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:06.639 the high school when we're talking about the maturity or 277 00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:10.039 the age level of Yamamoto and it's the effective I 278 00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:12.720 was buying my clothes at sixth grade. I wish I 279 00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:13.759 had a T shirt for. 280 00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:15.960 That, you know, show your kids. 281 00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:19.679 Yeah, and last last point though, I do want to 282 00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:21.519 bring up because I don't think it's getting much airtime. 283 00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:24.960 When they were scuffling with the Padres and everyone was 284 00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:27.639 trying to exercise those demons. I remember I was on 285 00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:30.600 the five making my way into Burbank when Saxy you 286 00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:33.320 were talking about, Hey, this is lining up to be 287 00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:37.000 Dodgers and Yankees in the world series. Let's not look 288 00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:39.039 at this as a bad thing. Let's look at this 289 00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:41.600 as a good thing. And man, your words were prophetic. Brother, 290 00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:44.960 that's positive thinking. That's a ballplayer. So just want to 291 00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:47.440 bring that up. Gentlemen, going to miss you, but there 292 00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:49.799 will be celebrating you know soon enough. 293 00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:52.759 Yep, thanks will thanks a nice man. That's a nice call. 294 00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:55.080 Celebrated you the entire time. 295 00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:57.720 Nice. I think I feel over here. No, Tim, it's 296 00:13:57.720 --> 00:13:59.200 all because of you. You know that, brother. 297 00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:01.679 I appreciate you leading the charge here. I'm just I'm 298 00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:03.559 just here. I'm just here for the right. I don't 299 00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:04.000 know about that. 300 00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:06.159 Let's let's get it all straight. I'm here for the right. 301 00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:07.159 You lead the charge. 302 00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:08.960 Now let's go to Reggie in La and to straighten 303 00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:11.399 things out here on this Tuesday morning. Reggie, good morning. 304 00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:15.080 The Dodgers are twenty seven outs away from an eighth 305 00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:16.480 World Series championship. 306 00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:17.200 You ready to party. 307 00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:19.799 I'll be all right on the party. 308 00:14:21.679 --> 00:14:24.279 I'll tell you what a man. Some of those defensive 309 00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:27.960 gems that we saw yesterday really had me thinking, man, 310 00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:32.399 this team is so different, particularly that one odd throw 311 00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:34.480 that the pitcher gave the Tommy. 312 00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:36.320 Edmond and they had a slow down. 313 00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:36.480 Mit. 314 00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:38.399 Sure he got the out on that one, and that 315 00:14:38.559 --> 00:14:40.120 was just man, that was such. 316 00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:40.600 A great play. 317 00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:45.000 And to think, I don't know if anyone thought Tommy 318 00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:47.840 Evans could be the full time shortstop. 319 00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:49.320 I mean, what do you guys think about that? 320 00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:50.279 It's a great point. 321 00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:52.960 I'm glad you brought that up, Reggie, because that is 322 00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:56.240 a baseball play right there that Tommy had been made, 323 00:14:56.600 --> 00:15:00.360 coming across from a shortstop and making sure Saxy he 324 00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:03.600 got the out, one out. He wasn't worried about getting 325 00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:06.279 the double play because the lead runner was important at 326 00:15:06.279 --> 00:15:08.120 that time, still a three nothing game, I think is 327 00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:10.480 what it was at important to get that out, and 328 00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:12.840 he did everything he could to make sure he had 329 00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:13.840 that right foot. 330 00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:16.679 I believe on the base. Look, look, the important thing 331 00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:19.759 is you gotta get one. The most important throw, and 332 00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:22.600 a double play is the first throw. And as was 333 00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:25.519 well documented right there, if that throws on the bag, 334 00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:27.879 you get another, you get the next row. But because 335 00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:32.639 of Tommy Edmund's great baseball acumen, he knows that you 336 00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:35.360 gotta get one and let's go from there. And he 337 00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:38.960 did it perfectly to salvage that that play right there, 338 00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:42.279 you saw Gradorol's frustration afterwards, he was really ticked at himself. 339 00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:44.080 But you know what day, that's what your teammates do. 340 00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:47.159 They pick you up again. Another defensive play, another one. 341 00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:48.600 I forgot about it. 342 00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:50.799 Sometimes we take it for granted. You know what I mean? 343 00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:53.279 Upstairs, Tommy Edmond doing his thing. Just make it a 344 00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:55.480 baseball play. Could he be the everyday shortstop? 345 00:15:55.559 --> 00:15:55.840 Listen? 346 00:15:55.840 --> 00:15:58.639 He could be, But listen, here's the thing. Tommy Edmond 347 00:15:59.159 --> 00:16:02.720 is a better player when you get to utilize all 348 00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:05.840 of his great assets, and that's playing the outfield, that's 349 00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:08.080 playing third and second. He was a gold glover at 350 00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:10.600 second base, much different than shortstop. Can he go in 351 00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:14.039 there and plug shortstop? For absolutely, he's that good of 352 00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:17.559 a player. I think he's more well utilized by different 353 00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:21.120 positions and you can really get to appreciate all those 354 00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:21.960 great things he can do. 355 00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:23.960 Well the Dodgers get him again for next year, because 356 00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:26.759 he's under contract through twenty twenty five, it'll be interesting 357 00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:28.279 to see. I mean, this is kind of looking in 358 00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:30.320 a few months down the road here in free agency, 359 00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:33.000 what the Dodgers elect to do with the shortstop position. 360 00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:35.240 If it's Tommy Emmon every day, if they elect to 361 00:16:35.480 --> 00:16:38.240 go with a Megal Rojas next year. Gavin Lux was 362 00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:41.159 given the reins in spring training. That experiment didn't work. 363 00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:43.720 He's probably better suited for second base. But whereas a 364 00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:45.879 Tommy Edman fit in is every day shortstop? Is he 365 00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:48.000 a second baseman? Is he a center field? There one 366 00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:50.120 of the many decisions the Dodgers are going to have 367 00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:52.240 to make here. It's a great position to have them. 368 00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:52.759 That's the thing. 369 00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:55.440 Unbelievable to have these kind of decisions, to have him 370 00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:57.240 right there at the center of it. Eight sixty six 371 00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:01.000 ninety seven two five seventy Dodgers are one away from 372 00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:04.200 a World Series championship.
