Yeah, here we are the morning 23 00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:28.879 after they did it. They pulled it out last night 24 00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:30.000 in Game five. Yeah. 25 00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:32.519 I want to see how many people around La now 26 00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:35.799 are dressed up for Halloween his bad World series rings. 27 00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:38.400 Yeah, I'll tell you what, Aaron, But Aaron Judge was 28 00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:40.799 dressed up last night as as a center fielder because 29 00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:44.879 he started an unwinding like no other for the Yankees 30 00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:48.239 last night. Wow, opening the door for the Dodgers in 31 00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:51.159 the fifth inning, opening the door for the Dodgers to 32 00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:55.280 come back and win Game five last night. What a game, 33 00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:57.760 What an emotional roller coaster. 34 00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:03.560 Last night's unbelievable yelling, screaming at the TV, clapping and jumping. 35 00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:07.599 I mean, it was amazing. And Aaron Judge, you know, 36 00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:09.439 it was such a roller coaster for him. I can 37 00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:12.199 imagine too. You remember the great play that he made 38 00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:15.240 in center field two, going against the wall and crashing 39 00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:18.680 in and then just taking his eyes off that ball 40 00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:22.439 at easy soft line drive that he took his eyes off, 41 00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:25.879 you know earlier in the game too, and in games 42 00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:29.800 passed he catches the ball fast and throws it in. 43 00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:33.039 I don't know what the hurry is. You know, you 44 00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:35.319 got to secure the ball, and he just took You 45 00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:37.319 can see in slow motion he took his eyes off 46 00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:39.800 of that right at the last second, and that cost him. 47 00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:42.439 It cost the Yankees. As the Dodgers come all the 48 00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:45.080 way back from a five to nothing deficit last night 49 00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:48.240 as they beat the New York Yankees seven to six. 50 00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:51.159 What a thrilling win it was for the Dodgers. The 51 00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:54.319 celebration went into the night, the early mornings. I had 52 00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:58.280 Dodger talking until midnight last night. Saxy here in the studio, 53 00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:01.039 went home and slept for three hours. Came back. I 54 00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:04.560 woke up before my alarm even went off. How got ready, 55 00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:07.360 came into the radio station. Been sitting here in the 56 00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:09.840 dark for the last half an hour just thinking they 57 00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:13.360 did it. I cannot believe this Dodgers team did what 58 00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:15.759 they did. And I know people will say they got 59 00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:19.800 a billion dollar roster, and they got salaries left and right, 60 00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:22.080 and they got the highest paid players in baseball. But 61 00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:25.199 they they had to overcome a lot of adversity this year. 62 00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:28.319 They had injuries, they had guys that had slumping seasons, 63 00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:31.560 and then despite all of that, they have to make 64 00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:33.960 a run in October. You have to win eleven games 65 00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:36.639 in the month of October to win a championship, and 66 00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:39.080 they did that last night in a thrilling win. 67 00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:43.080 You know what, you know, what I was really glad 68 00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:45.680 to see is, yeah, we know all about the talent, 69 00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:47.280 we know about the money off the chart that they're 70 00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:48.840 paying the players, but like you said, it was a 71 00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:54.439 lot of injuries involved. There were no egos on this team. 72 00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:58.479 It was all about getting excited about somebody else being successful. 73 00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:02.879 And what I saw down the stretched him. The team 74 00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:06.960 wanted it bad. They were hungry, they were eager to 75 00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:10.639 do whatever it took to win. They were selfless. That 76 00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:13.560 is what I'm oppressed about the team. That is what 77 00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:16.160 really stirs me up when you see a team that's 78 00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:20.600 got all these advantages that may seem but the team 79 00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:24.639 went down to its bare root minimum and they got 80 00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.639 after it as a unit and that's why they won. 81 00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:31.040 It's hey, success that's all put out there, that's not 82 00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:35.079 utilized correctly doesn't matter. These guys put it together and 83 00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:38.560 they played for everybody else and that's why they're champions 84 00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:39.040 of the world. 85 00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:41.079 It may not seem like a big thing, but it 86 00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:44.560 starts at the beginning with Mookie Betts getting hurt. It's 87 00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:47.560 Freddie Freeman going through what he did this season. It's 88 00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:50.040 Max Munsey having an up and down season. It's a 89 00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:52.800 guy like Shohil Tani. From spring training, we knew that 90 00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:55.639 half of his game wasn't even going to be available 91 00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:58.160 this year in pitching, he was going to be solely 92 00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:01.480 a designated hitter. How would that affect him? Would he 93 00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:03.399 be able to produce? Would he still be as a 94 00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:06.160 dominant threat as he is as a two way player? 95 00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:09.560 The ups and downs of the young players, the necessity 96 00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:11.839 of having to go out and acquire guys to fill 97 00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:15.399 gaps throughout the season. Guys like Calvin Bigio who were 98 00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:18.160 here for a few weeks because the Dodgers needed help, 99 00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:22.600 and shortstop Nika med was here for a few weeks 100 00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:24.560 with the Dodgers. He played for I think every team 101 00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:27.319 in the NL West this season, helping it out during injuries. 102 00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:29.839 Of the course of a twenty twenty four season, it's 103 00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:32.399 guys like that. It's Ryan Yarborough who is with this 104 00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:36.560 team and then dfade midway through this season. It's a 105 00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:40.160 Dodgers collective group, and Dave Roberts gets this group together 106 00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:42.480 at spring training and says, you know what, look at 107 00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:45.319 everybody in this room. There's forty plus guys here, non 108 00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:48.839 roster on VID's everybody in the forty men roster, young guys, 109 00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:51.240 old guys, and everybody in between. All of you were 110 00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:53.920 going to play a part of this run during the 111 00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:56.839 regular season. It's not twenty six guys that break camp 112 00:05:56.959 --> 00:05:59.000 and opening day. This is it. We're stuck with. These 113 00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:01.439 twenty six guys will never change it throughout the year. 114 00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:03.120 I mean, I have to go back and look, but 115 00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:05.600 I'm pretty sure the twenty six man roster they broke 116 00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:08.240 up with and went to Soul, South Korea with looks 117 00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:11.240 a lot different than the twenty six man roster that 118 00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:13.040 just played Game five last night in the world. 119 00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:15.600 Absolutely, you know, things happened throughout the course of the 120 00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:18.079 season that you can't predict, and that's why you have 121 00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:20.399 a forty man roster. All those guys, most of them 122 00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:22.759 are going to play a role. Absolutely right about that. 123 00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:26.120 But I thought one defining moment in this year is 124 00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:28.959 when the team had a meeting and they were talking 125 00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:32.240 about Max Munsey was talking about it to David vassaying 126 00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:35.439 what the team did. They threw everything else to the side. 127 00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:38.680 They asked their family to give them a little bit 128 00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:41.199 of leeway here, and we're gonna make a statement. We're 129 00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:43.519 gonna make a commitment. We're gonna step over the line 130 00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:45.800 and commit it to this. They were together all the 131 00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:47.959 you know, all those hours throughout the day and they 132 00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:51.079 just had some team unity, playing ping pong, whatever it is, 133 00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:55.000 telling jokes, but just being together all on the same page. 134 00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:57.240 That to me might have been a defining moment for 135 00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:58.560 this for this organization. 136 00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:02.079 It was huge because that's buy in. That's Landing Knack 137 00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:05.639 all the way up to Shoeo Tani and everybody in 138 00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:08.680 between saying okay, I'm in. You know, it has to 139 00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:12.759 take everybody. One superstar says why, I'm sure I'm gonna 140 00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:15.160 getting paid. I'm here, I'm doing my thing, I'm gonna produce. 141 00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:18.439 I'm not all about this raw ros stuff, and everybody 142 00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:20.920 has to buy in. And they did. It's because they 143 00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:23.040 all wanted to win. But you know what, they all 144 00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:25.680 wanted to win for different reasons, Saxy, and that's important. 145 00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:28.000 You've got the group who's been here, the core that's 146 00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:31.279 been here since seventeen, in eighteen and winning in twenty 147 00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:33.759 twenty during COVID and having to hear for the last 148 00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:36.920 three plus seasons going into this postseason. You know that 149 00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:39.079 was a shortened season. You know that's an asterisk next 150 00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:41.920 to that. Doesn't matter dad to hear it, though, And 151 00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:44.600 guys like Max Munsey last night even said, Hey, we 152 00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:46.279 don't have to hear that anymore. I don't have to 153 00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:48.639 hear people commenting about, oh, you wanted a shortened season. 154 00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:51.480 Try winning in one hundred and sixty two well game season. 155 00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:54.360 So those guys had that they had to overcome and 156 00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:56.680 wanted to win a World Series four. Then you had 157 00:07:56.759 --> 00:07:59.600 guys like show he Otani who's never even tasted October. 158 00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:02.279 You've got veterans on this team that have never won 159 00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:04.920 a championship before, to let alone been this close to 160 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:07.240 doing it. I got like Taoscar Hernandez, who bet on 161 00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:09.959 himself this year. Yeah, the one year deal to go 162 00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:12.360 out and to prove to everybody else in baseball that 163 00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:15.519 he wasn't a guy that you know, shouldn't be considered 164 00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:17.680 an elite player and shouldn't be paid like it. 165 00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:18.800 You're gonna get paid like it. 166 00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:22.199 Absolutely. You know, you have all these different different reasons 167 00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:24.480 for these guys wanting to win a championship, and you 168 00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:27.199 put it all together collectively, and they came together for 169 00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:29.480 a three and a half week run that was unbelievable. 170 00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:31.800 Yeah, Taoskar, Not only is he going to get paid 171 00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:35.200 because he showed it offensively, Hey, he showed it defensively too. 172 00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:38.879 How about the throat to nail Stanton? He was outstanding. 173 00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:41.679 So this is a this is a top quality player. 174 00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:45.039 Plays a little bit under the radar. But but man, 175 00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:47.399 is he a good thirty three jacks right at one 176 00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:50.679 hundred RBIs stellar defense? Oh yeah, he's gonna be right there. 177 00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:53.320 I'll tell you another thing. You know they're talking about, well, 178 00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:55.480 you know we don't have to answer questions about this, 179 00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:58.000 you know, a strike shortened year or it was COVID 180 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:00.879 or whatever it may be. I mean, you know we 181 00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:02.960 heard that back back in eighty one too. You know 182 00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:05.879 it was two seasons and whatever. So I'll tell you 183 00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:08.159 what the best, the best barometer you can get for 184 00:09:08.200 --> 00:09:11.080 how good this team is, ask the Yankees. I haven't 185 00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:13.679 seen any video or any tape about it, but I'll 186 00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:17.200 bet you those guys over there saying they're just marveling 187 00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:19.159 at how good the team is. I'll bet they're saying 188 00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:21.960 this is an incredible team that we faced. I hadn't, 189 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:23.639 like I said, I haven't seen any video on it, 190 00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:26.039 but I'll bet you that's what they're saying. And lastly, 191 00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:29.559 when we talked about the togetherness that the team really, 192 00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:32.639 you know, put a stamp on for this club can 193 00:09:32.679 --> 00:09:35.080 pro I can guarantee you this, Dave I wasn't in 194 00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:38.399 the locker like David Vasse, but I'll tell you that 195 00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:42.639 was player driven. That was nothing to do with the manager. 196 00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:44.840 I can promise you the manager never came up to 197 00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:47.720 you know, Mookie Betts or one of the guys, Freddy 198 00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:49.000 or one of the guys on the team and say, hey, 199 00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:50.639 tell you what, why don't you do this thing and 200 00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:53.200 get the players together and and and just really make 201 00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:54.919 a statement and try to get this together and this, 202 00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:58.440 you know, with a foot forward in that direction. I 203 00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:00.759 can promise you that none of them that happened. This 204 00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:04.399 was all about the players doing it. And that's what 205 00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:07.679 you talk about leadership on a team. That is leadership. 206 00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:09.960 You know, I don't care what you say, let me 207 00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:12.639 see what you do.

Yeah, yeah, they 274 00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:19.799 wanted to shake that hole. Well it wasn't a full 275 00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:23.679 season talk. But also they want a parade. They got 276 00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:27.000 gypped in twenty twenty. They didn't get a parade because 277 00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:33.240 of COVID. Yes, Kershaw, Muncie, Mookie Bets, Austin Barnes, Will Smith, 278 00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:36.039 that whole crew didn't get to have a parade through 279 00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:38.200 the streets of LA. They don't know what it is like. 280 00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:41.799 They won a championship, flew back and then all dispersed 281 00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:42.720 because of COVID. 282 00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:45.519 Yeah, that is tough. I mean, what are the chances 283 00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:48.480 of that happening, you know once in one hundred years. Right, 284 00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:51.320 that's tough thing. But you know what, it's all better 285 00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:54.440 now because they're gonna get a chance to celebrate this one. 286 00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:56.360 And you know what, it was so great to just 287 00:13:56.559 --> 00:13:59.720 how about the enthusiasm when you see these guys when 288 00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:03.080 they i mean, the gloves come off, the hat goes up. 289 00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:04.679 I mean they got to have you know, ten or 290 00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:07.360 twelve people are out there, you know, gathering that stuff up, right, 291 00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:10.159 because I'm sure there's poachers out there that would love 292 00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:11.759 to run up there and grab that. I mean, what's 293 00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:14.600 a Freddie Freeman glove worth? You know at winning the 294 00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:16.240 World Series. I mean, there's a lot of guys are 295 00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:19.080 probably targeting that thing. Oh but you know, it was 296 00:14:19.120 --> 00:14:21.000 really great. I don't think those two chumps down the 297 00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:25.159 right field line got to see this history happened. How 298 00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:25.600 about that? 299 00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:27.320 I love it. They didn't get a chance to be 300 00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:28.840 in there. I wish they kind of were to get 301 00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:31.159 in a front row seat there to watch Mookie Bets 302 00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:33.399 throw his glove up in the air and celebrate running 303 00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:36.919 in piling there in the middle of the field in 304 00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:39.919 the Bronx You mentioned the celebration. Was kind of fun 305 00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:42.679 to see Will Smith put the ball in his back 306 00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:44.960 pocket because that's always something you hear about what happened 307 00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:48.879 to the baseball. Yeah, and MLB had a behind the 308 00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:51.320 scenes on their social media. It was really cool. The 309 00:14:51.399 --> 00:14:54.679 authenticator that has all the stickers and writes everything down 310 00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:57.360 and authenticates all the memorabilia. When things happen fifty to 311 00:14:57.399 --> 00:14:59.279 fifty ball for showing all that kind of stuff. Well, 312 00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:01.519 they want to authentic date the baseball the final lot 313 00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:04.600 of the World Series, and so they followed this guy around. 314 00:15:04.679 --> 00:15:06.600 As soon as the last out happens, he pops out 315 00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:09.840 of the dugout and he sprints out to Will Smith 316 00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:12.360 and he's yelling at Will Smith. Well, well, well well, 317 00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:14.600 and Will Smith is celebrating, and the ball is in 318 00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:17.159 his back pocket, you can see it clearly, and so 319 00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:19.639 he asked Will for the ball. Will doesn't really want 320 00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:21.799 to give it up, but does hands it over, throws 321 00:15:21.799 --> 00:15:24.320 a sticker on it real quick, authenticates it, writes it down, 322 00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:26.639 puts the number, everything, and then Will puts it right 323 00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:28.320 back in his pocket. He says, this is going to 324 00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:32.480 Walker Bueller. Ah nice, Yeah, that's great, good for him. 325 00:15:32.519 --> 00:15:35.039 So happy for Walker Bueller.

But that guy, you got 372 00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:40.799 to have him on your team. I mean, you need 373 00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:43.880 guys like that. They just don't print out guys like 374 00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:46.440 this at the in the baseball machine. All right, this 375 00:17:46.519 --> 00:17:50.039 guy is special, and you know what, he's thirty years old, 376 00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:53.119 he's got the great makeup. Right now, he's got a 377 00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:56.920 new arm. There's not a lot of mileage on Walker 378 00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:00.519 Bueller's arm right now. They rebuilt it twice, So you 379 00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:03.640 know what, it's it's maybe he's twenty six right now, 380 00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:06.880 because that's a new arm. I'm going out there and 381 00:18:06.920 --> 00:18:09.000 I'm gonna just stack it up for him. 382 00:18:09.079 --> 00:18:11.839 I remember having a conversation with somebody a few days ago, 383 00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:13.319 and I think there might have been you, Saxony. We 384 00:18:13.319 --> 00:18:15.640 were talking about Walker Bueller and his you know, what's 385 00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:17.079 what's gonna happen after the season. 386 00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:18.640 I remember when it happened, when you pick me up 387 00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:20.400 and we're making the walk into the studio. 388 00:18:20.119 --> 00:18:22.359 That's right, And I said, I don't know, maybe two 389 00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:24.799 three year deal. I can see him going somewhere. Somebody 390 00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:26.200 wanted to have a guy maybe at the front end 391 00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:28.559 of the rotation. We've got a name. I mean, he's 392 00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:31.519 absolutely boosted the years and the dollar amount up now, 393 00:18:31.720 --> 00:18:34.119 no doubt, has put himself up there, you know, and 394 00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:36.519 probably I haven't looked at the free agent class yet, 395 00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:38.359 but I would have to imagine he's one of the 396 00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:40.480 top five pictures. Oh that'll be out there in free 397 00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:42.920 agency because you just mentioned it. He's only thirty. Listen, 398 00:18:43.000 --> 00:18:45.039 he's a postgame picture. He's got to rebuilt arm. 399 00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:47.519 And long as he's healthy, long as they can confirm that, 400 00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:49.519 there's no and I don't see you see him just 401 00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:53.000
