0:01:13.390 --> 0:01:17.750
<v Speaker 2>six games remaining in the regular season a lot of

0:01:17.830 --> 0:01:21.160
<v Speaker 2>decisions need to be made as far as the postseason

0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:25.940
<v Speaker 2>roster not just for the nlds but also the nlcs

0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:28.040
<v Speaker 2>and the world series so we'll get to that in

0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:31.020
<v Speaker 2>a moment coming up in our next segment we'll let

0:01:31.060 --> 0:01:35.680
<v Speaker 2>you know what lies ahead dodgers padres Not only a

0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:39.850
<v Speaker 2>three-game series starting tomorrow night at Dodger Stadium, but also

0:01:40.470 --> 0:01:45.850
<v Speaker 2>could there be another postseason collision between these two teams

0:01:45.890 --> 0:01:50.490
<v Speaker 2>that have found each other many times since 2020 in

0:01:50.510 --> 0:01:54.670
<v Speaker 2>the Major League Baseball postseason? Could it happen again this year?

0:01:55.060 --> 0:01:59.240
<v Speaker 2>We'll let you know. The Padres are... Definitely a team

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:02.060
<v Speaker 2>to be reckoned with right now. They are the hottest

0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:06.100
<v Speaker 2>team in baseball. Not sure if you realize that. And

0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:09.910
<v Speaker 2>they have a very real chance to clinch their postseason

0:02:10.010 --> 0:02:14.049
<v Speaker 2>berth while they're at Dodger Stadium playing the Dodgers during

0:02:14.070 --> 0:02:18.050
<v Speaker 2>this upcoming three-game series. And the highlight of our show

0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:23.000
<v Speaker 2>tonight is reliving the the National League West Championship celebration

0:02:23.060 --> 0:02:26.100
<v Speaker 2>in Cincinnati. We will close out the show with that.

0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:26.820
<v Speaker 4>Why not?

0:02:27.220 --> 0:02:30.440
<v Speaker 2>On an off day, heading into the final six regular

0:02:30.540 --> 0:02:33.850
<v Speaker 2>season games. Before we get into all that, just want

0:02:33.870 --> 0:02:37.410
<v Speaker 2>to say thank you to everybody at Sportsnet LA for

0:02:37.470 --> 0:02:41.030
<v Speaker 2>having me over the weekend on the sidelines with Steven

0:02:41.070 --> 0:02:44.680
<v Speaker 2>Nelson and Jessica Mendoza. They were way too kind to me.

0:02:44.780 --> 0:02:48.959
<v Speaker 2>Steven said, is a very inclusive teammate, even on the radio,

0:02:49.060 --> 0:02:52.579
<v Speaker 2>but awesome to do it with him and Jess Mendoza

0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:56.640
<v Speaker 2>over the weekend. I'll be doing it again Thursday. Well, actually,

0:02:56.680 --> 0:03:00.590
<v Speaker 2>the final four regular season games with Joe Davis and

0:03:00.650 --> 0:03:04.590
<v Speaker 2>Oral Hershiser. So thank you to Mike Levy, the entire crew,

0:03:04.889 --> 0:03:07.850
<v Speaker 2>and Stu Mitchell and Chris Witte and the rest of

0:03:07.889 --> 0:03:11.930
<v Speaker 2>the crew back at Sportsnet LA for having me do

0:03:12.010 --> 0:03:15.790
<v Speaker 2>some sidelines on Sportsnet LA Thursday. for another season. And

0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:19.520
<v Speaker 2>of course, it doesn't happen without my guy, Lon Rosen.

0:03:19.580 --> 0:03:23.410
<v Speaker 2>So thank you to everybody for wanting me around. I

0:03:23.450 --> 0:03:27.040
<v Speaker 2>really do appreciate that. I don't take that for granted. Anyway,

0:03:27.340 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers have a day off, their final day off

0:03:30.460 --> 0:03:33.079
<v Speaker 2>of the regular season. I know they're very happy that

0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:38.080
<v Speaker 2>it's happening in LA because this schedule has been really unforgiving,

0:03:38.140 --> 0:03:41.650
<v Speaker 2>not only for the Dodgers, but talking to other media

0:03:41.670 --> 0:03:44.550
<v Speaker 2>members around the league, the schedule for them has been

0:03:44.610 --> 0:03:47.410
<v Speaker 2>just as grueling. Not sure if it's because of the

0:03:47.450 --> 0:03:49.730
<v Speaker 2>World Cup this year, if they had to move the

0:03:49.770 --> 0:03:52.150
<v Speaker 2>schedule around, but it just seems like there has been

0:03:52.650 --> 0:03:55.600
<v Speaker 2>Far and few between days off in L.A., and we

0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:58.780
<v Speaker 2>have an off-day Dodger talk for you on an off-day.

0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:04.060
<v Speaker 2>All right, the Dodgers sweep the Giants, and Josue DePaulo, JDP,

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:06.440
<v Speaker 2>had a huge part in it. I mean, he was

0:04:06.490 --> 0:04:08.830
<v Speaker 2>the only guy that had a good hit off of

0:04:08.870 --> 0:04:14.270
<v Speaker 2>Wilkinson yesterday, and that's lefty on lefty right there. I mean,

0:04:14.310 --> 0:04:18.089
<v Speaker 2>he has been... so fluid and fun to watch it

0:04:18.130 --> 0:04:22.590
<v Speaker 2>doesn't seem like anything any of this has gotten to

0:04:22.630 --> 0:04:26.030
<v Speaker 2>him and i think that's good on another on a

0:04:26.070 --> 0:04:29.890
<v Speaker 2>few different levels because sometimes when you don't know where

0:04:29.940 --> 0:04:32.190
<v Speaker 2>you're at is the best thing when you're a young

0:04:32.270 --> 0:04:36.300
<v Speaker 2>player and i'm not sure jdp knows or cares where

0:04:36.339 --> 0:04:38.240
<v Speaker 2>he's at but i know he's having a lot of

0:04:38.300 --> 0:04:43.540
<v Speaker 2>fun and i love being around him His attitude, his

0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:47.680
<v Speaker 2>vibe is infectious. Even just doing interviews with him, it's

0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:50.260
<v Speaker 2>a great vibe. And I know the team is feeling

0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:54.210
<v Speaker 2>that in the dugout. He just has that pure talent,

0:04:54.250 --> 0:04:57.650
<v Speaker 2>that pure swing talent. And when he swings, he hits

0:04:57.730 --> 0:05:00.490
<v Speaker 2>it hard. And what's so great about him and what

0:05:00.529 --> 0:05:03.670
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers have been so impressed is that he's not

0:05:03.910 --> 0:05:07.160
<v Speaker 2>swinging at pitches outside of the strike zone. The only

0:05:07.220 --> 0:05:10.820
<v Speaker 2>thing the Dodgers want him to do is play defense

0:05:10.980 --> 0:05:13.400
<v Speaker 2>and not be a liability out there in left field.

0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:16.080
<v Speaker 2>That's why you're seeing a lot of him at DH,

0:05:16.140 --> 0:05:19.529
<v Speaker 2>but that can change very soon, as soon as Wednesday

0:05:19.570 --> 0:05:23.270
<v Speaker 2>when Shohei Otani returns. What do the Dodgers do with

0:05:23.310 --> 0:05:27.160
<v Speaker 2>JDP when Otani returns? I feel like that's been... a

0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:30.600
<v Speaker 2>question nobody really wants to answer, all the focus, and

0:05:30.660 --> 0:05:34.820
<v Speaker 2>rightfully so, has been on Otani returning. And it looks

0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:39.159
<v Speaker 2>like he is returning, if not Wednesday, then Thursday, because

0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:43.169
<v Speaker 2>Dave Roberts said physically Otani has not felt this good

0:05:43.250 --> 0:05:46.130
<v Speaker 2>in a long time. Otani, I saw him in the

0:05:46.210 --> 0:05:51.250
<v Speaker 2>clubhouse on Saturday and Friday, and he was in great spirits.

0:05:52.170 --> 0:05:55.409
<v Speaker 2>I guess he was hitting off that video machine in

0:05:55.430 --> 0:05:58.770
<v Speaker 2>the cage. They call it the Traject Machine, where it

0:05:58.850 --> 0:06:02.380
<v Speaker 2>simulates a pitcher on the screen, and then the mechanical

0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:06.140
<v Speaker 2>arm throws out the pitch that you would see from

0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:07.240
<v Speaker 2>that type of pitcher.

0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:07.560
<v Speaker 5>So.

0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:11.170
<v Speaker 2>If you're facing Clayton Kershaw, let's say, or Blake Snell

0:06:11.230 --> 0:06:14.490
<v Speaker 2>or Tarek Skubal, you see Skubal on the screen and

0:06:14.529 --> 0:06:17.570
<v Speaker 2>he throws a changeup or he throws a 99 fastball

0:06:17.589 --> 0:06:21.070
<v Speaker 2>like Skubal would in real life. So that's what Otani's

0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:26.039
<v Speaker 2>been doing to get ready. And another big return is

0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:30.310
<v Speaker 2>Andy Pahez. Andy Pahez is going to return and be

0:06:30.350 --> 0:06:33.810
<v Speaker 2>in center field tomorrow night when the Dodgers and Padres

0:06:33.910 --> 0:06:37.589
<v Speaker 2>lock up for the beginning of their final regular season matchup.

0:06:37.860 --> 0:06:41.460
<v Speaker 2>Andy Pahez is has only been out for four and

0:06:41.500 --> 0:06:45.100
<v Speaker 2>a half weeks. And that was the timeline the Dodgers

0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:49.020
<v Speaker 2>gave us. And he certainly has healed really well to

0:06:49.060 --> 0:06:51.520
<v Speaker 2>be in this position to come back for the final

0:06:51.620 --> 0:06:54.440
<v Speaker 2>six games of the regular season. Now, is he going

0:06:54.460 --> 0:06:56.740
<v Speaker 2>to play all six in a row? Of course not.

0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:59.560
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers are going to see how it looks tomorrow.

0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.450
<v Speaker 2>But certainly he's probably going to play at least three

0:07:03.850 --> 0:07:06.790
<v Speaker 2>of the final six games of the regular season. And

0:07:06.830 --> 0:07:11.369
<v Speaker 2>that's 21 home runs, 80 RBIs, not to mention gold

0:07:11.410 --> 0:07:14.690
<v Speaker 2>glove center field. I mean, the Dodgers have done pretty

0:07:14.750 --> 0:07:19.410
<v Speaker 2>well without him. They've navigated it without him, but all

0:07:19.430 --> 0:07:23.060
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden now, your lineup is that much deeper,

0:07:23.780 --> 0:07:30.020
<v Speaker 2>and your defense has improved significantly with Pahas in center

0:07:30.060 --> 0:07:33.750
<v Speaker 2>field because he covered a lot of ground. in center

0:07:33.810 --> 0:07:35.930
<v Speaker 2>field but he also covered a lot of ground in

0:07:35.970 --> 0:07:40.090
<v Speaker 2>right center field and left center field because kyle tucker's

0:07:40.150 --> 0:07:44.260
<v Speaker 2>range was limited to oscar hernandez's range is limited and

0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:48.120
<v Speaker 2>pa has got to balls that most center fielders would

0:07:48.180 --> 0:07:50.960
<v Speaker 2>not be able to get to heading towards right field

0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:54.530
<v Speaker 2>heading towards left field so the dodgers are getting a

0:07:54.650 --> 0:07:58.820
<v Speaker 2>big piece of their team back tomorrow night cannot stress

0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:02.980
<v Speaker 2>that enough, how important Andy Pahez is to the Dodgers.

0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:03.520
<v Speaker 4>And I guess.

0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:06.920
<v Speaker 2>what we're going to see is, does it look the same?

0:08:07.140 --> 0:08:09.920
<v Speaker 2>It's one thing to do it off a pitching machine.

0:08:10.060 --> 0:08:12.740
<v Speaker 2>It's one thing to do it off coaches, but let's

0:08:12.780 --> 0:08:16.740
<v Speaker 2>see how it looks against major league pitching. And he's

0:08:16.780 --> 0:08:21.500
<v Speaker 2>going to see three really good starting pitchers against the Padres.

0:08:21.820 --> 0:08:25.370
<v Speaker 2>The Padres are throwing out Michael King, Robbie Ray, and

0:08:25.450 --> 0:08:29.170
<v Speaker 2>Nick Pavetta against the Dodgers in this three game series.

0:08:29.230 --> 0:08:32.790
<v Speaker 2>They are trying to lock up their spot in the postseason.

0:08:33.030 --> 0:08:36.090
<v Speaker 2>And also more than that, they are trying to get

0:08:36.270 --> 0:08:39.069
<v Speaker 2>the number one seed of all the wild cards in

0:08:39.110 --> 0:08:42.730
<v Speaker 2>the national league. Yeah. The Padres are that good. They

0:08:42.770 --> 0:08:45.870
<v Speaker 2>have now 87 wins as they head into this series.

0:08:45.910 --> 0:08:49.079
<v Speaker 2>They are the hottest team in baseball since the middle

0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:51.959
<v Speaker 2>of August. And all of a sudden now the Phillies

0:08:52.540 --> 0:08:55.360
<v Speaker 2>are not a lock to be the one or two

0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:58.880
<v Speaker 2>seed and The Cubs and Padres are tied for the

0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:02.640
<v Speaker 2>number one seed among wildcard teams, and the Phillies now

0:09:03.140 --> 0:09:05.540
<v Speaker 2>are looking like they may be the team that is

0:09:05.580 --> 0:09:08.800
<v Speaker 2>headed to Atlanta to play the Braves. And why that's

0:09:08.890 --> 0:09:13.090
<v Speaker 2>important is whoever wins that series is going to play

0:09:13.170 --> 0:09:16.990
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers next. to open up the NLDS at Dodger Stadium.

0:09:17.110 --> 0:09:20.390
<v Speaker 2>So all bets are off right now as far as

0:09:20.650 --> 0:09:24.309
<v Speaker 2>matchups in the NLDS. But one thing that is for

0:09:24.410 --> 0:09:28.670
<v Speaker 2>certain is the Dodgers need that bye. And they all

0:09:28.730 --> 0:09:31.750
<v Speaker 2>understand that. It's not like they're talking about it every day.

0:09:32.230 --> 0:09:35.630
<v Speaker 2>But getting those five days off and sitting back and

0:09:35.710 --> 0:09:39.930
<v Speaker 2>waiting and lining up their pitching for whatever team comes

0:09:40.030 --> 0:09:43.140
<v Speaker 2>out of Atlanta, whether it's the Braves or the Phillies,

0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:46.240
<v Speaker 2>or the Padres, or the Cubs, they're going to have

0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:50.439
<v Speaker 2>to spend their two best pitchers in that wildcard series,

0:09:50.660 --> 0:09:53.930
<v Speaker 2>meaning their best pitcher, whether it's Chris Sale or Christopher

0:09:53.970 --> 0:09:58.550
<v Speaker 2>Sanchez or Michael King, the Dodgers are only going to

0:09:58.590 --> 0:10:01.520
<v Speaker 2>have to see those guys win. maybe once. And if

0:10:01.540 --> 0:10:04.160
<v Speaker 2>you see them twice means the series went to five

0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:08.020
<v Speaker 2>games and those guys are going to have to pitch

0:10:08.220 --> 0:10:11.520
<v Speaker 2>on short rest in a minimal amount of time. So

0:10:12.540 --> 0:10:16.800
<v Speaker 2>in this case, this year, the buy certainly is what

0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:21.110
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers need and is an advantageous asset to them

0:10:21.450 --> 0:10:23.990
<v Speaker 2>to get through the National League and get to the

0:10:24.030 --> 0:10:26.920
<v Speaker 2>World Series for a third straight year to go for

0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:31.820
<v Speaker 2>that three-peat. Also, part of the final six regular season games,

0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:35.880
<v Speaker 2>as far as subplots go, is how Blake Snell looks

0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:38.850
<v Speaker 2>in San Francisco. I kind of feel like he's going

0:10:38.870 --> 0:10:41.589
<v Speaker 2>to pitch that middle game of the series against the Giants.

0:10:42.030 --> 0:10:45.209
<v Speaker 2>How does he look? He has told me he feels great.

0:10:45.309 --> 0:10:48.209
<v Speaker 2>It's only getting better with that left groin that forced

0:10:48.250 --> 0:10:50.869
<v Speaker 2>him out of his last start. So he's going to

0:10:50.890 --> 0:10:54.330
<v Speaker 2>have extended rest going into that series. And the Dodgers

0:10:54.450 --> 0:10:57.450
<v Speaker 2>want him to pitch again. in that series because they

0:10:57.470 --> 0:10:59.610
<v Speaker 2>don't want him to have too long of a layoff.

0:10:59.700 --> 0:11:04.140
<v Speaker 2>So I think he understands the focus needed for this

0:11:04.220 --> 0:11:07.640
<v Speaker 2>final start, this final tune-up for the playoffs. And all

0:11:07.660 --> 0:11:10.840
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden now you got Yamamoto and Snell back

0:11:11.059 --> 0:11:14.180
<v Speaker 2>at the top of your rotation with Tarek Skubal right

0:11:14.220 --> 0:11:19.310
<v Speaker 2>there with them. Also on Wednesday, Roki Sasaki is expected

0:11:19.350 --> 0:11:22.929
<v Speaker 2>to pitch against the Padres in Out of the bullpen.

0:11:23.050 --> 0:11:26.530
<v Speaker 2>That's right. Rokey Sasaki is not going to make another

0:11:26.610 --> 0:11:30.290
<v Speaker 2>start this season. He is going to start getting ready

0:11:30.429 --> 0:11:34.770
<v Speaker 2>to his postseason role for a second consecutive year pitching

0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:37.479
<v Speaker 2>out of the bullpen. And I kind of feel like

0:11:38.020 --> 0:11:41.160
<v Speaker 2>there's a few factors that went into this. Yes, the

0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:44.520
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers want Sasaki to experience what it's going to be

0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:47.179
<v Speaker 2>like coming out of the bullpen like they did last year.

0:11:47.740 --> 0:11:50.420
<v Speaker 2>down the stretch. They got him used to coming out

0:11:50.460 --> 0:11:53.730
<v Speaker 2>of the bullpen, getting his warm-up routine coming out of

0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:57.689
<v Speaker 2>the bullpen, but also his blister. It was a significant

0:11:57.809 --> 0:12:01.860
<v Speaker 2>blister on his right middle finger. The Dodgers don't want

0:12:01.900 --> 0:12:05.620
<v Speaker 2>him going five or six innings and possibly irritating that

0:12:05.660 --> 0:12:10.050
<v Speaker 2>blister at the wrong time of the year. So controlling

0:12:10.350 --> 0:12:13.510
<v Speaker 2>how many innings he goes, whether it's two, maybe it's

0:12:13.590 --> 0:12:16.330
<v Speaker 2>three at the most, Dave Roberts made it clear it's

0:12:16.390 --> 0:12:18.569
<v Speaker 2>not going to be a five or six inning bulk

0:12:18.690 --> 0:12:22.790
<v Speaker 2>innings relief type of situation on Wednesday. That tells me

0:12:22.809 --> 0:12:26.290
<v Speaker 2>a couple of things. Yes, they want him to get

0:12:26.429 --> 0:12:29.400
<v Speaker 2>used to his new role. B, they don't want that

0:12:29.460 --> 0:12:34.000
<v Speaker 2>blister to open up again. And C, they're confident Snell

0:12:34.059 --> 0:12:38.480
<v Speaker 2>and Glasnow are healthy going into the postseason. So all

0:12:38.540 --> 0:12:43.370
<v Speaker 2>those factors... I'm sure contributed to the decision to have

0:12:43.450 --> 0:12:47.970
<v Speaker 2>Rokey pitch out of the bullpen on Wednesday against the Padres.

0:12:48.110 --> 0:12:51.250
<v Speaker 2>So those are the things to look for. And also,

0:12:51.710 --> 0:12:54.890
<v Speaker 2>how are the Dodgers going to maneuver their roster with

0:12:54.990 --> 0:12:58.819
<v Speaker 2>Otani coming off the IL? They could very easily have

0:12:58.860 --> 0:13:03.960
<v Speaker 2>Elisir Alfonso option back to Oklahoma City and keep JDP

0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:06.860
<v Speaker 2>on the bench. I think that would be a good move.

0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:10.380
<v Speaker 2>Dalton rushing also is looming. I know he had a

0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:14.860
<v Speaker 2>PRP injection on his right throwing elbow, but he still

0:13:14.940 --> 0:13:18.110
<v Speaker 2>is a factor to be a pinch hitter, a one-time

0:13:18.210 --> 0:13:20.870
<v Speaker 2>swing off the bench. Are they going to give rushing

0:13:21.270 --> 0:13:24.810
<v Speaker 2>an opportunity to get used to that possible role to

0:13:24.870 --> 0:13:27.550
<v Speaker 2>see how it looks? If you're asking me for one

0:13:27.590 --> 0:13:30.600
<v Speaker 2>left-handed hitter to come off the bench for an at-bat

0:13:30.650 --> 0:13:37.989
<v Speaker 2>in a Nobody loves rushing more than me. Nobody believes

0:13:38.390 --> 0:13:42.390
<v Speaker 2>in rushing more than me. But he is physically compromised.

0:13:42.429 --> 0:13:47.579
<v Speaker 2>He can't be the backup catcher. He can't make a

0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:51.480
<v Speaker 2>spot start in the postseason because he can't throw. All

0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:55.420
<v Speaker 2>he can do is have that lightning and thunder, one

0:13:55.460 --> 0:13:57.819
<v Speaker 2>swing of the bat to try to tie the game

0:13:57.900 --> 0:13:59.920
<v Speaker 2>or give you a swing to hit the ball out

0:13:59.940 --> 0:14:04.480
<v Speaker 2>of the ballpark. But it just seems like the better

0:14:04.580 --> 0:14:08.840
<v Speaker 2>at back quality is coming from Josue de Paula. We've

0:14:08.900 --> 0:14:11.980
<v Speaker 2>seen him not swing at pitches outside of the strike zone.

0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:15.180
<v Speaker 2>We've seen him take pitchers, take walks. And then when

0:14:15.220 --> 0:14:18.900
<v Speaker 2>he gets a pitch in the strike zone, he makes

0:14:18.980 --> 0:14:22.160
<v Speaker 2>that pitcher pay for it and he hits with damage.

0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:26.210
<v Speaker 2>So in a pinch hitter role, you want that type

0:14:26.250 --> 0:14:30.620
<v Speaker 2>of approach. So as a pinch hitter, I'm going with

0:14:30.660 --> 0:14:35.190
<v Speaker 2>JDP over rushing as a backup catcher and a guy

0:14:35.230 --> 0:14:38.430
<v Speaker 2>that is a great compliment to Will Smith and also

0:14:38.490 --> 0:14:42.750
<v Speaker 2>can handle himself at first base. I'm going Dalton rushing,

0:14:43.130 --> 0:14:47.200
<v Speaker 2>but for one at bat off the bench, I'm going JDP.

0:14:47.740 --> 0:14:49.880
<v Speaker 2>I just need that quality of an at bat to

0:14:49.940 --> 0:14:52.720
<v Speaker 2>be willing to take a walk. And it just seems

0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:55.760
<v Speaker 2>like from what I've seen from rushing, he wants to

0:14:56.460 --> 0:14:59.500
<v Speaker 2>hit a home run every time that he's in that

0:14:59.620 --> 0:15:02.440
<v Speaker 2>spot as a pinch hitter. And that's not the role.

0:15:02.620 --> 0:15:04.940
<v Speaker 2>So if you had to put me on the spot today,

0:15:05.500 --> 0:15:08.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm leaning towards JDP as that left-handed bat off the

0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:14.800
<v Speaker 2>bench in the postseason. 866-987-2570 is the phone number. When

0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:18.420
<v Speaker 2>we continue, we'll get into what the Dodgers are up

0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:25.270
<v Speaker 2>against in the postseason and could it be another Dodgers-Padres NLCS.

0:15:25.530 --> 0:15:28.150
<v Speaker 2>We'll let you know when we continue on Off Day

0:15:28.210 --> 0:15:32.530
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Talk until 8 o'clock right here on 570 LA

0:15:32.590 --> 0:15:38.090
<v Speaker 2>Sports with David Vasse. 570 la sports the dodgers with

0:15:38.130 --> 0:15:41.470
<v Speaker 2>the night off tonight are back in action tomorrow at

0:15:41.510 --> 0:15:45.260
<v Speaker 2>dodger stadium to close out the final three games of

0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:49.320
<v Speaker 2>the regular season home schedule against the padres the dodgers

0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:52.160
<v Speaker 2>only have six more games to go in the regular

0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:56.210
<v Speaker 2>season three against the padres and then three in san

0:15:56.250 --> 0:16:00.590
<v Speaker 2>francisco to end the season. And like I mentioned in

0:16:00.610 --> 0:16:04.090
<v Speaker 2>the last segment, there are a few different subplots tomorrow night.

0:16:04.530 --> 0:16:08.140
<v Speaker 2>Andy Paez is set to return on Wednesday night. Shohei

0:16:08.220 --> 0:16:12.560
<v Speaker 2>Otani and Roki Sasaki will be activated. And on Saturday,

0:16:12.620 --> 0:16:16.060
<v Speaker 2>that's what I'm guessing. Blake Snell should be making his

0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:21.180
<v Speaker 2>final regular season tune up. Now this series Dodgers Padres,

0:16:21.330 --> 0:16:23.870
<v Speaker 2>when you saw it about in July, you're like, ah,

0:16:23.910 --> 0:16:27.810
<v Speaker 2>the Padres are done, man. They're, The Padres have got nothing.

0:16:28.490 --> 0:16:31.810
<v Speaker 2>All of a sudden now, the Padres are not only

0:16:31.830 --> 0:16:36.530
<v Speaker 2>a wildcard team, but they are also looking to be

0:16:36.610 --> 0:16:39.940
<v Speaker 2>the number one wildcard team. They have been the hottest

0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:43.600
<v Speaker 2>team since the middle of August, and the Phillies have

0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:47.120
<v Speaker 2>very much come back to earth. In fact, the Phillies

0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:50.660
<v Speaker 2>and Cubs have come back to earth so much that

0:16:50.700 --> 0:16:54.900
<v Speaker 2>there was a three-way tie yesterday in the wildcard picture.

0:16:55.390 --> 0:16:58.700
<v Speaker 2>And right now it's the Padres and Cubs tied for

0:16:58.740 --> 0:17:01.090
<v Speaker 2>that number one seed. I'm not sure who has the

0:17:01.150 --> 0:17:05.940
<v Speaker 2>tiebreaker in that season series matchup between the Padres and Cubs, but.

0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:10.280
<v Speaker 2>the Phillies right now are looking at being the number

0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:14.590
<v Speaker 2>three wildcard team, which means they would have to start

0:17:15.090 --> 0:17:19.689
<v Speaker 2>a wildcard series against the Atlanta Braves in Atlanta. And

0:17:19.750 --> 0:17:24.490
<v Speaker 2>the Padres are looking right now to probably play the Cubs.

0:17:24.869 --> 0:17:27.129
<v Speaker 2>That's how it would be. The first two wildcard teams

0:17:27.630 --> 0:17:30.350
<v Speaker 2>play each other. And then the third wildcard team has

0:17:30.390 --> 0:17:34.630
<v Speaker 2>to play the number three division winner. And that right

0:17:34.670 --> 0:17:38.020
<v Speaker 2>now is the Atlanta Braves. The Dodgers are so close

0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:41.760
<v Speaker 2>to clinching a home field advantage and the number two seed.

0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:45.220
<v Speaker 2>It's within striking distance. Two or three is the magic

0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:48.800
<v Speaker 2>number there. So they're in a good spot. obviously already

0:17:48.859 --> 0:17:51.379
<v Speaker 2>have clinched the NL West, and we'll share some of

0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:54.600
<v Speaker 2>those celebration interviews with you again coming up at the

0:17:54.660 --> 0:17:58.420
<v Speaker 2>bottom of the hour. But some things to know about

0:17:58.460 --> 0:18:01.810
<v Speaker 2>the Padres going into this series. They are throwing their

0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:06.010
<v Speaker 2>three best starters against the Dodgers, Michael King tomorrow night,

0:18:06.410 --> 0:18:11.770
<v Speaker 2>Robbie Ray in Game 2, and Nick Pavetta in Game 3.

0:18:11.770 --> 0:18:15.840
<v Speaker 2>And Fernando Tatis Jr., remember how bad he looked when

0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:19.540
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers last saw San Diego? He just hit his

0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:23.320
<v Speaker 2>first home run June 5th. Well, his season has turned around.

0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:27.260
<v Speaker 2>He's now a 25 home run, 25 stolen base player.

0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:32.140
<v Speaker 2>And since August 1st, he has been the hottest player

0:18:32.619 --> 0:18:35.580
<v Speaker 2>in the National League this side of P. Crow Armstrong.

0:18:35.960 --> 0:18:41.070
<v Speaker 2>Fernando Tatis Jr. has a 975 OPS since the beginning

0:18:41.109 --> 0:18:45.109
<v Speaker 2>of August with a 283 batting average. And the guy

0:18:45.150 --> 0:18:47.770
<v Speaker 2>that did not hit his first home run until June

0:18:47.950 --> 0:18:54.389
<v Speaker 2>5th now has 17 home runs since the beginning of August. Yeah,

0:18:54.390 --> 0:18:57.470
<v Speaker 2>17 home runs since the beginning of August. This guy

0:18:57.530 --> 0:19:00.879
<v Speaker 2>did not hit his first home run until June 5th,

0:19:01.210 --> 0:19:06.150
<v Speaker 2>and he has 32 RBIs. Tatis Jr. and Jackson Merrill

0:19:06.510 --> 0:19:09.629
<v Speaker 2>have carried this offense since the middle of August to

0:19:09.690 --> 0:19:12.940
<v Speaker 2>make them the hottest team in baseball. And one thing

0:19:12.980 --> 0:19:17.100
<v Speaker 2>that hasn't changed about the Padres is their bullpen, the

0:19:17.200 --> 0:19:21.280
<v Speaker 2>best bullpen in the National League. So that means if

0:19:21.340 --> 0:19:24.460
<v Speaker 2>they have a lead after the sixth inning and certainly

0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:28.159
<v Speaker 2>after the seventh inning, they have a great way to

0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:31.679
<v Speaker 2>shorten the game. And of course, Mason Miller in the

0:19:31.720 --> 0:19:34.230
<v Speaker 2>ninth inning. So if the Padres have a lead, it

0:19:34.270 --> 0:19:37.409
<v Speaker 2>feels like They're starting pitching has been good enough and

0:19:37.450 --> 0:19:40.609
<v Speaker 2>their offense has been much better to get them a

0:19:40.690 --> 0:19:43.790
<v Speaker 2>lead in the sixth and seventh inning of games. And

0:19:43.810 --> 0:19:46.730
<v Speaker 2>their bullpen takes over from there, which makes them a

0:19:46.850 --> 0:19:51.230
<v Speaker 2>very dangerous playoff team. I actually believe. believe that the

0:19:51.300 --> 0:19:55.340
<v Speaker 2>Padres could beat the Brewers in an NLDS Best of

0:19:55.340 --> 0:19:58.280
<v Speaker 2>5 series if they played against each other. I certainly

0:19:58.320 --> 0:20:01.000
<v Speaker 2>believe they could beat the Cubs in a wildcard series.

0:20:01.619 --> 0:20:05.500
<v Speaker 2>So that would mean the Dodgers and Padres in the NLCS.

0:20:07.200 --> 0:20:07.420
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:20:07.770 --> 0:20:10.129
<v Speaker 2>That did not seem like it was going to be

0:20:10.230 --> 0:20:13.870
<v Speaker 2>likely two months ago, but I kind of feel like

0:20:13.930 --> 0:20:17.540
<v Speaker 2>it might. And I like the Dodgers against the Padres.

0:20:17.930 --> 0:20:23.119
<v Speaker 2>The Padres obviously have their swag back in a playoff series.

0:20:23.180 --> 0:20:27.139
<v Speaker 2>Could you imagine Walker Bueller wearing a Padre uniform pitching

0:20:27.180 --> 0:20:30.850
<v Speaker 2>against the Dodgers? And Walker Bueller all of a sudden

0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:33.870
<v Speaker 2>has been much better in his last 10 starts, including

0:20:33.930 --> 0:20:37.290
<v Speaker 2>yesterday to close out the sweep against the Marlins at

0:20:37.350 --> 0:20:40.690
<v Speaker 2>Petco Park. Walker Bueller is three and one with an

0:20:40.770 --> 0:20:45.540
<v Speaker 2>ERA at 342 in his last 10 starts with 50

0:20:45.540 --> 0:20:48.460
<v Speaker 2>innings pitched. And you know, he would be up for

0:20:48.619 --> 0:20:52.260
<v Speaker 2>any sort of start against the Dodgers in a playoff series.

0:20:52.400 --> 0:20:56.419
<v Speaker 2>So the Padres are for real because their offense is

0:20:56.480 --> 0:21:00.540
<v Speaker 2>alive and Manny Machado has had a subpar season, no

0:21:00.580 --> 0:21:04.470
<v Speaker 2>doubt about it, but Tatis and Merrill have come alive

0:21:04.510 --> 0:21:07.790
<v Speaker 2>and Machado can change a game with one swing of

0:21:07.830 --> 0:21:10.610
<v Speaker 2>the bat. Even though his batting average is low, the

0:21:10.650 --> 0:21:13.730
<v Speaker 2>home runs are there and he's a really good third baseman.

0:21:14.130 --> 0:21:19.440
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I like, I like a Dodgers Padres NLCS.

0:21:19.520 --> 0:21:23.379
<v Speaker 2>Now this three game series means more to the Padres

0:21:23.440 --> 0:21:26.710
<v Speaker 2>than it does to the Dodgers. So I'm not going

0:21:26.770 --> 0:21:30.320
<v Speaker 2>to say whatever happens in this series is an indication

0:21:30.359 --> 0:21:33.810
<v Speaker 2>of what could happen. in a best of seven NLCS,

0:21:34.170 --> 0:21:36.450
<v Speaker 2>because I would still love to see the Padres beat

0:21:36.490 --> 0:21:39.580
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers four times. I just don't see that happening

0:21:39.619 --> 0:21:43.300
<v Speaker 2>with them or any other team in baseball. In fact, I,

0:21:43.420 --> 0:21:47.119
<v Speaker 2>and I'm calling my shot right now, Dodgers Padres in

0:21:47.140 --> 0:21:50.690
<v Speaker 2>the NLCS. And I got a raised Dodgers rematch of

0:21:50.730 --> 0:21:55.690
<v Speaker 2>the 2020 world series, uh, coming up in this fall classic.

0:21:55.750 --> 0:21:55.990
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:21:56.109 --> 0:22:01.060
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers raised In the World Series, a rematch of 2020,

0:22:01.060 --> 0:22:04.440
<v Speaker 2>and I got the Dodgers and Padres in the NLCS.

0:22:04.460 --> 0:22:11.640
<v Speaker 2>866-987-2570 is the phone number. Here was Fernando Tatis Jr.

0:22:11.760 --> 0:22:15.669
<v Speaker 2>yesterday after the game talking about how he turned his

0:22:15.730 --> 0:22:19.810
<v Speaker 2>season around, similar to the way Teoscar Hernandez and Mookie

0:22:19.850 --> 0:22:22.010
<v Speaker 2>Betts turned their seasons around.

0:22:22.800 --> 0:22:25.260
<v Speaker 7>A lot of people that have helped me through my career,

0:22:25.300 --> 0:22:27.460
<v Speaker 7>that have helped me during the offseason, that have helped

0:22:27.500 --> 0:22:31.240
<v Speaker 7>me during the season. It's a great combination of everything.

0:22:31.320 --> 0:22:35.780
<v Speaker 7>I couldn't be here alone, so I just want to

0:22:35.800 --> 0:22:37.810
<v Speaker 7>say thank you to all the guys that have put

0:22:37.850 --> 0:22:41.830
<v Speaker 7>their small pieces of the puzzle together to keep helping

0:22:41.869 --> 0:22:46.369
<v Speaker 7>me just to be a really good baseball player. It's

0:22:46.410 --> 0:22:48.190
<v Speaker 7>all credit to them and to the hard work that

0:22:48.210 --> 0:22:48.810
<v Speaker 7>we have put together.

0:22:49.070 --> 0:22:50.889
<v Speaker 4>What's the feeling for you and this team when you

0:22:50.910 --> 0:22:53.240
<v Speaker 4>can go to Los Angeles on Tuesday with a Chance

0:22:53.280 --> 0:22:55.139
<v Speaker 4>to clinch as soon as Tuesday a playoff spot.

0:22:55.350 --> 0:22:58.530
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, we're looking forward to winning ballgames. And, you know,

0:22:58.570 --> 0:23:00.649
<v Speaker 7>see a lot in play. We're going to clinch. We're

0:23:00.670 --> 0:23:05.590
<v Speaker 7>trying to, you know, start a series over here in

0:23:05.910 --> 0:23:07.890
<v Speaker 7>the playoffs. So, you know, see a lot in play,

0:23:07.930 --> 0:23:09.850
<v Speaker 7>and we still have homework to do.

0:23:10.490 --> 0:23:13.970
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so those Dodger visiting clubhouse guys, they're going to

0:23:14.010 --> 0:23:17.510
<v Speaker 2>have to get ready for a possible celebration because all

0:23:17.550 --> 0:23:20.659
<v Speaker 2>the Padres have to do is probably win one of

0:23:20.700 --> 0:23:23.619
<v Speaker 2>the three games against the Dodgers and punch their ticket

0:23:24.119 --> 0:23:27.480
<v Speaker 2>officially to the postseason. And they're going to celebrate because

0:23:27.560 --> 0:23:30.340
<v Speaker 2>they did not win the NL West. The Dodgers won

0:23:30.359 --> 0:23:33.680
<v Speaker 2>the NL West, so they're going to have to celebrate

0:23:33.900 --> 0:23:38.270
<v Speaker 2>hard because that's going to be their only celebration as

0:23:38.310 --> 0:23:41.610
<v Speaker 2>far as getting into the postseason. Walker Buehler has his

0:23:41.690 --> 0:23:44.210
<v Speaker 2>swag back after the way he's pitched, and all of

0:23:44.270 --> 0:23:48.180
<v Speaker 2>a sudden now has taught these Padres how to be winners.

0:23:48.200 --> 0:23:51.320
<v Speaker 8>I mean, that's a huge part of it. I think

0:23:51.700 --> 0:23:53.679
<v Speaker 8>being on a winning team that does it the way

0:23:53.700 --> 0:23:56.060
<v Speaker 8>we have this year and going to make the playoffs,

0:23:56.119 --> 0:23:58.540
<v Speaker 8>it looks like, I think is a huge accomplishment, but

0:24:00.490 --> 0:24:02.870
<v Speaker 8>trying to help guys that maybe haven't done as much

0:24:02.930 --> 0:24:05.530
<v Speaker 8>I think is a bigger thing for me than anything

0:24:06.050 --> 0:24:09.720
<v Speaker 8>I think I can help the team in October and

0:24:10.100 --> 0:24:12.720
<v Speaker 8>we certainly have a lot of talent that we're going

0:24:12.800 --> 0:24:16.090
<v Speaker 8>to lean on Being any part of it, I think,

0:24:16.150 --> 0:24:17.119
<v Speaker 8>is something I'm really excited for.

0:24:18.310 --> 0:24:22.500
<v Speaker 2>All right, Walker Bueller, Walker freaking Bueller, teaching the Padres

0:24:22.880 --> 0:24:27.500
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers winning ways. All right, Dodgers Padres begin tomorrow

0:24:27.560 --> 0:24:31.540
<v Speaker 2>night at Dodgers Stadium, 7-10 first pitch. Our coverage begins

0:24:31.619 --> 0:24:35.139
<v Speaker 2>at 6 o'clock. When we continue on Dodger Talk, the

0:24:35.200 --> 0:24:38.869
<v Speaker 2>Padres are not the NL West champs. The Dodgers are

0:24:38.880 --> 0:24:42.470
<v Speaker 2>the back-to-back World Series champs and won the NL West again.

0:24:42.830 --> 0:24:46.270
<v Speaker 2>When we continue on off-day Dodger Talk, we'll relive the

0:24:46.350 --> 0:24:51.210
<v Speaker 2>celebration in Cincinnati last week with the champagne interviews. Don't

0:24:51.230 --> 0:24:54.570
<v Speaker 2>go anywhere. More Dodger Talk with David Vasse until the

0:24:54.630 --> 0:24:56.570
<v Speaker 2>top of the hour right here on 570 LA Sports.

0:24:58.450 --> 0:25:00.950
<v Speaker 2>Dodger talk with you until the top of the hour.

0:25:01.330 --> 0:25:03.910
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, thank you again to Marty Caswell,

0:25:04.210 --> 0:25:07.800
<v Speaker 2>who covers the Padres for those post-game interviews in the

0:25:07.840 --> 0:25:12.320
<v Speaker 2>clubhouse with Fernando Tatis Jr. and Walker Bueller. She does

0:25:12.400 --> 0:25:14.740
<v Speaker 2>a great job covering the Padres. And if you want

0:25:14.760 --> 0:25:18.060
<v Speaker 2>to keep tabs, I always keep one eye in San Diego,

0:25:18.119 --> 0:25:21.020
<v Speaker 2>and she is the best at covering the Padres.

0:25:21.480 --> 0:25:21.860
<v Speaker 5>All right.

0:25:22.280 --> 0:25:24.220
<v Speaker 2>So Marty, I'm sure, is going to get wet with

0:25:24.240 --> 0:25:28.720
<v Speaker 2>champagne when the Padres clinch their postseason berth. But It's

0:25:28.780 --> 0:25:33.040
<v Speaker 2>not the NLS championship again. That's right. The Dodgers are

0:25:33.100 --> 0:25:36.340
<v Speaker 2>the NLS champs. They have put themselves in a great

0:25:36.380 --> 0:25:39.149
<v Speaker 2>position to be a number two seed and get the

0:25:39.210 --> 0:25:43.910
<v Speaker 2>bye on their way to a possible third consecutive World

0:25:43.990 --> 0:25:48.510
<v Speaker 2>Series championship. And last week in Cincinnati, it was party

0:25:48.550 --> 0:25:53.660
<v Speaker 2>time with the champs. Mookie Betts never gave up on himself.

0:25:53.980 --> 0:25:56.219
<v Speaker 2>His teammates never gave up on him. And now the

0:25:56.260 --> 0:26:00.000
<v Speaker 2>burn is real for Mookie Betts. How does this feel,

0:26:00.040 --> 0:26:03.040
<v Speaker 2>being a four-time World Series champion and just keeping the

0:26:03.080 --> 0:26:03.679
<v Speaker 2>winning going?

0:26:04.480 --> 0:26:05.340
<v Speaker 4>It's amazing.

0:26:05.680 --> 0:26:07.880
<v Speaker 9>We've got a great group of guys, like you see.

0:26:10.730 --> 0:26:11.169
<v Speaker 1>Oh, yeah.

0:26:11.250 --> 0:26:14.889
<v Speaker 2>Max Muncy, get in Mookie Betts. Put the goggles on.

0:26:14.910 --> 0:26:15.859
<v Speaker 2>Now he wants the goggles on.

0:26:18.680 --> 0:26:19.760
<v Speaker 1>My face is burning.

0:26:22.080 --> 0:26:24.420
<v Speaker 4>And you're bald, so your head must be freezing. Oh,

0:26:24.480 --> 0:26:30.060
<v Speaker 4>my God. It's fun. I mean, you know, it's just

0:26:30.740 --> 0:26:31.139
<v Speaker 4>step one.

0:26:31.160 --> 0:26:34.080
<v Speaker 9>We got a long way to go, but winning is

0:26:34.160 --> 0:26:34.740
<v Speaker 9>always fun.

0:26:36.060 --> 0:26:38.420
<v Speaker 2>Kershaw always said, you got to feel the burn, Mookie.

0:26:39.160 --> 0:26:40.740
<v Speaker 2>Does the burn feel good this time?

0:26:40.840 --> 0:26:41.899
<v Speaker 5>No, not yet.

0:26:42.660 --> 0:26:44.540
<v Speaker 4>It'll feel good once we get the World Series.

0:26:46.010 --> 0:26:46.310
<v Speaker 10>Oh, my.

0:26:50.369 --> 0:26:51.380
<v Speaker 4>That's Alex Vecchia.

0:26:51.390 --> 0:26:55.160
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, this one doesn't feel as good, but the World

0:26:55.180 --> 0:26:57.090
<v Speaker 9>Series one, that's a good burn.

0:26:57.230 --> 0:26:59.750
<v Speaker 11>Anytime you burn it, you know you're doing something good.

0:27:00.230 --> 0:27:00.550
<v Speaker 5>Mookie.

0:27:01.109 --> 0:27:03.270
<v Speaker 4>How much more special is it that this group has.

0:27:03.210 --> 0:27:07.169
<v Speaker 2>Been together for back-to-back championships and certainly been through the

0:27:07.210 --> 0:27:08.330
<v Speaker 2>peaks and valleys together?

0:27:08.350 --> 0:27:11.450
<v Speaker 4>You know, I think that's kind of what gets missed.

0:27:11.490 --> 0:27:13.740
<v Speaker 11>You know, we've been together for a long time.

0:27:13.780 --> 0:27:19.459
<v Speaker 9>I mean, it's something that we don't take for granted,

0:27:19.560 --> 0:27:21.500
<v Speaker 9>but something that we expect of each other.

0:27:23.640 --> 0:27:25.900
<v Speaker 12>Um, oh gosh.

0:27:26.220 --> 0:27:29.820
<v Speaker 2>Oh, more teammates found a blade trying it than Alex

0:27:29.880 --> 0:27:30.960
<v Speaker 2>called found Mookie Betts.

0:27:31.340 --> 0:27:32.179
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh.

0:27:33.920 --> 0:27:37.580
<v Speaker 9>Um, you know, there's so much love and love for

0:27:37.619 --> 0:27:40.820
<v Speaker 9>each other. And like I said, we don't take it

0:27:40.840 --> 0:27:43.070
<v Speaker 9>for granted, but we expect this. And I think that

0:27:43.090 --> 0:27:44.139
<v Speaker 9>there's something beautiful to that.

0:27:44.830 --> 0:27:47.550
<v Speaker 2>Mookie, it feels like every time you get sprayed, that's

0:27:47.609 --> 0:27:49.950
<v Speaker 2>just the shower of love for you from your teammates.

0:27:50.250 --> 0:27:55.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's what it is. That's exactly what it is. Sorry, Mookie.

0:27:55.359 --> 0:27:58.580
<v Speaker 4>Every time you come over here, they'll find you. I'm sorry.

0:27:58.740 --> 0:27:59.200
<v Speaker 11>It's fun.

0:27:59.520 --> 0:28:03.920
<v Speaker 9>I can't even think straight.

0:28:03.940 --> 0:28:06.199
<v Speaker 4>I don't even know what the question was, but I

0:28:06.240 --> 0:28:09.510
<v Speaker 4>love these boys. We've got a long way to go.

0:28:10.170 --> 0:28:12.550
<v Speaker 2>LA loves you too, Mookie. They'll put their arms around

0:28:12.570 --> 0:28:14.410
<v Speaker 2>you tomorrow. You want to say something to the fans?

0:28:14.730 --> 0:28:16.540
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, thank you for sticking with me.

0:28:17.390 --> 0:28:18.160
<v Speaker 2>I know it was hard.

0:28:18.400 --> 0:28:21.200
<v Speaker 9>I make it hard sometimes, but thank you for sticking

0:28:21.240 --> 0:28:24.400
<v Speaker 9>by my side and by our side, and we got

0:28:24.440 --> 0:28:25.520
<v Speaker 9>something special coming.

0:28:26.320 --> 0:28:27.980
<v Speaker 4>What's it like to get to this point in time

0:28:28.020 --> 0:28:28.640
<v Speaker 4>in the season?

0:28:28.720 --> 0:28:31.770
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, I know it's awesome. It's seven months of drying

0:28:31.790 --> 0:28:34.890
<v Speaker 12>that we've been going since February. A lot of sacrifice,

0:28:34.910 --> 0:28:35.710
<v Speaker 12>a lot of hard work.

0:28:35.770 --> 0:28:38.010
<v Speaker 1>Day in and day out, these guys show up.

0:28:38.030 --> 0:28:38.310
<v Speaker 5>Bro!

0:28:40.660 --> 0:28:42.600
<v Speaker 1>Best manager in the league.

0:28:42.720 --> 0:28:46.540
<v Speaker 12>It's just a lot of hard work, a lot of

0:28:46.560 --> 0:28:49.140
<v Speaker 12>sacrifice from not only us, the whole organization, our family.

0:28:49.200 --> 0:28:52.220
<v Speaker 12>So it's only step one, but it's nice to celebrate.

0:28:52.720 --> 0:28:54.450
<v Speaker 2>For you to be able to be part of this

0:28:54.530 --> 0:28:56.410
<v Speaker 2>group and for you guys to have a chance to

0:28:56.450 --> 0:29:00.490
<v Speaker 2>run it back as division champions and to do something special,

0:29:00.590 --> 0:29:02.489
<v Speaker 2>how much more does that mean to you? It means

0:29:02.570 --> 0:29:02.830
<v Speaker 2>a lot.

0:29:02.850 --> 0:29:04.410
<v Speaker 12>We've got a lot of guys that have been together

0:29:04.470 --> 0:29:06.730
<v Speaker 12>for a few years now. We know what it takes

0:29:06.830 --> 0:29:10.280
<v Speaker 12>to win in October. We've got a special group of

0:29:10.300 --> 0:29:11.240
<v Speaker 12>new guys that fit in.

0:29:11.180 --> 0:29:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Nicely, too.

0:29:12.060 --> 0:29:14.719
<v Speaker 4>Man, my eyes are burning. Mine, too, Freddy. You've got

0:29:14.760 --> 0:29:16.880
<v Speaker 4>to feel the burn, like Kershaw said.

0:29:16.980 --> 0:29:18.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I miss him.

0:29:18.480 --> 0:29:20.390
<v Speaker 11>We've got a lot of great.

0:29:20.230 --> 0:29:22.550
<v Speaker 12>Guys that have come together. The guys at the deadline

0:29:22.610 --> 0:29:24.170
<v Speaker 12>came over and fit in perfectly. So we've got a

0:29:24.190 --> 0:29:27.150
<v Speaker 12>good group, and we're hungry. The camera guy just went down.

0:29:27.210 --> 0:29:27.810
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:29:27.870 --> 0:29:30.600
<v Speaker 2>Hey, before we go, why don't you stare into that camera?

0:29:31.300 --> 0:29:33.380
<v Speaker 2>And the fans in L.A. want to hear from their

0:29:33.420 --> 0:29:34.479
<v Speaker 2>World Series MVP.

0:29:34.540 --> 0:29:35.300
<v Speaker 4>Thank you, guys.

<v Speaker 12>It's special to play for them. team, this organization. It's

0:29:41.560 --> 0:29:43.440
<v Speaker 12>all because of you guys. Can't wait to see you.

0:29:43.350 --> 0:29:43.880
<v Speaker 13>Guys tomorrow night.

0:29:44.310 --> 0:29:46.410
<v Speaker 4>You got a message for your DH back at home?

0:29:46.490 --> 0:29:46.970
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:29:51.730 --> 0:30:03.010
<v Speaker 14>This is the 11th division winner Andrew Friedman has put together.

0:30:03.430 --> 0:30:05.690
<v Speaker 2>It's always a different cast of characters, but a lot

0:30:05.730 --> 0:30:07.600
<v Speaker 2>of the same guys you believed in this year.

0:30:08.360 --> 0:30:11.959
<v Speaker 4>How proud are you of these guys? Yeah, we certainly

0:30:12.000 --> 0:30:13.700
<v Speaker 4>have not had easy in the playbook.

0:30:14.280 --> 0:30:16.680
<v Speaker 13>We've definitely had our challenges throughout the year.

0:30:17.320 --> 0:30:19.280
<v Speaker 4>But this team is so talented.

0:30:19.720 --> 0:30:23.110
<v Speaker 13>And as it's coming together right now, has us incredibly

0:30:23.120 --> 0:30:25.450
<v Speaker 13>encouraged for what October can look like.

0:30:25.770 --> 0:30:28.570
<v Speaker 2>You always talk about depth. You certainly used a lot

0:30:28.610 --> 0:30:29.610
<v Speaker 2>of depth this year.

0:30:30.030 --> 0:30:31.170
<v Speaker 4>When you're able to get.

0:30:31.070 --> 0:30:34.410
<v Speaker 2>That many contributions, how rewarding is that for you and

0:30:34.470 --> 0:30:35.910
<v Speaker 2>for everybody else involved?

0:30:36.840 --> 0:30:39.280
<v Speaker 4>It's an awesome organizational accomplishment.

0:30:39.340 --> 0:30:42.980
<v Speaker 13>The guys that, you know, six-year free agents or a

0:30:43.050 --> 0:30:46.490
<v Speaker 13>deep draft pick that we got. So many different departments

0:30:46.550 --> 0:30:49.870
<v Speaker 13>in our group have their fingerprints all over it. So

0:30:49.890 --> 0:30:52.610
<v Speaker 13>it's such an awesome organizational accomplishment.

0:30:53.070 --> 0:30:54.210
<v Speaker 4>That being said, it's.

0:30:54.130 --> 0:30:57.490
<v Speaker 13>Important to have depth, but you'd like to not use it.

0:30:57.930 --> 0:30:59.390
<v Speaker 4>And we used a lot of it this year.

0:30:59.740 --> 0:31:02.040
<v Speaker 2>Andrew, I ask players this all the time. How do

0:31:02.060 --> 0:31:04.720
<v Speaker 2>you pick yourself back up and start the journey again?

0:31:06.090 --> 0:31:09.330
<v Speaker 2>Is this as great as your first division championship with

0:31:09.350 --> 0:31:11.890
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers? Does it feel the same way?

0:31:13.970 --> 0:31:17.130
<v Speaker 13>I would say it's even more meaningful because I think

0:31:17.170 --> 0:31:22.430
<v Speaker 13>the relationships that are formed every year just get stronger

0:31:22.470 --> 0:31:23.050
<v Speaker 13>and deeper.

0:31:25.440 --> 0:31:31.030
<v Speaker 4>Oh, the bullpen dogs want to get Andrew Freeman. You

0:31:31.050 --> 0:31:35.310
<v Speaker 4>got to get him. We got Blake Trotter. We got

0:31:35.350 --> 0:31:36.210
<v Speaker 4>Jack Dreyer.

0:31:36.750 --> 0:31:41.310
<v Speaker 2>We got the entire bullpen drenching the president of baseball operations.

0:31:42.450 --> 0:31:43.970
<v Speaker 2>By the way, Andrew, I feel like there was a

0:31:44.010 --> 0:31:46.610
<v Speaker 2>lot of depth. As far as the beer being thrown

0:31:46.670 --> 0:31:47.470
<v Speaker 2>on you.

0:31:48.530 --> 0:31:54.220
<v Speaker 13>I gotta tell you, one of the most fun things

0:31:54.300 --> 0:31:56.880
<v Speaker 13>of this celebration has been watching everyone crush you. You

0:31:56.900 --> 0:32:00.720
<v Speaker 13>have gotten demolished as much as anybody. But I think

0:32:00.740 --> 0:32:04.000
<v Speaker 13>the relationships, the amount of time and energy and time

0:32:04.040 --> 0:32:07.310
<v Speaker 13>away from home that all of us put in. to

0:32:07.350 --> 0:32:10.230
<v Speaker 13>celebrate these moments are really important in our mind we

0:32:10.290 --> 0:32:12.630
<v Speaker 13>want three more celebrations and keep.

0:32:12.490 --> 0:32:14.790
<v Speaker 2>Blowing it out i gotta i gotta say this before

0:32:14.850 --> 0:32:17.320
<v Speaker 2>we go you don't see too many guys in your

0:32:17.360 --> 0:32:20.120
<v Speaker 2>position get the kind of love that these players show

0:32:20.160 --> 0:32:24.480
<v Speaker 2>you how do you build those relationships and i guess

0:32:24.520 --> 0:32:27.200
<v Speaker 2>that's as real as it gets yeah.

0:32:27.020 --> 0:32:30.940
<v Speaker 13>I mean for us relationships are everything um being honest

0:32:30.980 --> 0:32:35.660
<v Speaker 13>with people treating them uh like the professionals they are

0:32:35.680 --> 0:32:38.950
<v Speaker 13>with the utmost respect but being honest and i think

0:32:38.970 --> 0:32:41.690
<v Speaker 13>they appreciate that and you know sometimes we have to

0:32:41.730 --> 0:32:44.070
<v Speaker 13>have a hard conversation that they don't love to hear

0:32:44.750 --> 0:32:46.790
<v Speaker 13>but our point is you will look back on this

0:32:46.870 --> 0:32:49.290
<v Speaker 13>and appreciate that we're being honest with you and so

0:32:49.330 --> 0:32:53.090
<v Speaker 13>i think through that Real, meaningful relationships are formed.

0:32:53.570 --> 0:32:55.750
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's a testament to you that you got that

0:32:55.790 --> 0:32:59.250
<v Speaker 2>much love for these guys in the clubhouse. Congratulations, and

0:32:59.290 --> 0:33:01.030
<v Speaker 2>we'll get you drenched.

0:33:00.770 --> 0:33:03.160
<v Speaker 4>Again a few more times, hopefully. I like it. That's

0:33:03.180 --> 0:33:03.560
<v Speaker 4>the goal.

0:33:03.620 --> 0:33:04.060
<v Speaker 6>Thanks, Dave.

0:33:04.560 --> 0:33:07.000
<v Speaker 2>All right, that Funky Muncy, the guy that has hit

0:33:07.060 --> 0:33:09.300
<v Speaker 2>more home runs than any other Dodger.

0:33:08.920 --> 0:33:10.180
<v Speaker 4>In postseason history.

0:33:11.100 --> 0:33:13.959
<v Speaker 2>Bathing in that champagne again, does this ever get old

0:33:14.020 --> 0:33:14.400
<v Speaker 2>for you?

0:33:14.460 --> 0:33:15.790
<v Speaker 4>No, it never gets old.

0:33:17.770 --> 0:33:18.910
<v Speaker 1>You can't ever take it for granted.

0:33:18.930 --> 0:33:20.510
<v Speaker 6>I know we've done this a lot over the last

0:33:20.530 --> 0:33:23.750
<v Speaker 6>several years, but you can't ever take this moment for granted.

0:33:24.050 --> 0:33:25.890
<v Speaker 6>This is something that starts all the way back in

0:33:25.910 --> 0:33:28.350
<v Speaker 6>spring training. You work seven, eight months to try to

0:33:28.370 --> 0:33:31.480
<v Speaker 6>get to this point right here. Regardless of how you

0:33:31.500 --> 0:33:32.340
<v Speaker 6>feel about it, you've.

0:33:32.200 --> 0:33:33.300
<v Speaker 1>Got to celebrate this moment.

<v Speaker 2>How gratifying is it for you to put together such

0:33:36.380 --> 0:33:37.340
<v Speaker 2>a complete season?

0:33:37.880 --> 0:33:40.100
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's been great. It's been nice to be healthy

0:33:40.120 --> 0:33:40.660
<v Speaker 4>for the whole year.

<v Speaker 6>I feel like he contributed a lot more and it's

0:33:44.560 --> 0:33:46.380
<v Speaker 6>just been great for me and hopefully there's a lot

0:33:46.420 --> 0:33:47.040
<v Speaker 6>more to come.

<v Speaker 2>and soul of the Dodgers right here Miguel Rojas who

<v Speaker 2>obviously means everything to this team.

0:35:28.790 --> 0:35:31.960
<v Speaker 4>And How special does this one feel for you? It

0:35:31.980 --> 0:35:33.020
<v Speaker 4>means a lot, Dave.

0:35:33.500 --> 0:35:36.180
<v Speaker 3>To be honest with you, this is a moment that

0:35:36.200 --> 0:35:39.060
<v Speaker 3>I will never take for granted. Winning the division with

0:35:39.080 --> 0:35:43.049
<v Speaker 3>this organization is something that I did as a rookie

0:35:43.550 --> 0:35:45.950
<v Speaker 3>when I just got called up in June of 2014.

0:35:45.950 --> 0:35:50.490
<v Speaker 3>And now I can say that I'm... I'm going away

0:35:50.850 --> 0:35:52.250
<v Speaker 3>from the game of baseball.

0:35:51.969 --> 0:35:54.270
<v Speaker 4>As a player with the best organization in baseball.

0:35:54.790 --> 0:35:58.110
<v Speaker 3>And I'm just happy that so many people came to

0:35:58.150 --> 0:36:01.509
<v Speaker 3>this organization to make it better every single year. And

0:36:02.190 --> 0:36:04.860
<v Speaker 3>being part of this, the last four, it's been one

0:36:04.880 --> 0:36:06.719
<v Speaker 3>of the best things that happened in my life. And

0:36:06.739 --> 0:36:10.779
<v Speaker 3>that's why we're celebrating like this, because everybody that make

0:36:10.840 --> 0:36:13.900
<v Speaker 3>a sacrifice and did something for this club to get

0:36:13.940 --> 0:36:16.940
<v Speaker 3>to this point, We would always appreciate that and that's

0:36:16.960 --> 0:36:19.120
<v Speaker 3>the reason why this organization is.

0:36:19.060 --> 0:36:20.000
<v Speaker 4>The way it is.

0:36:20.020 --> 0:36:22.040
<v Speaker 2>You have a lot of talent on this team, but

0:36:22.080 --> 0:36:25.370
<v Speaker 2>there were peaks and valleys. You had an emotional season.

0:36:26.590 --> 0:36:28.770
<v Speaker 2>How did you keep it all together all year long

0:36:28.810 --> 0:36:30.590
<v Speaker 2>going back to when we were in Toronto?

0:36:31.230 --> 0:36:34.380
<v Speaker 3>Going back to May when my dad passed away. I

0:36:34.420 --> 0:36:37.719
<v Speaker 3>was in Toronto and in a really special place where

0:36:37.760 --> 0:36:40.310
<v Speaker 3>I thought it was going to be a great time

0:36:40.350 --> 0:36:43.089
<v Speaker 3>to play baseball again. And I have to deal with

0:36:43.170 --> 0:36:45.230
<v Speaker 3>all that. But this is family to me, you know,

0:36:45.310 --> 0:36:48.260
<v Speaker 3>like these guys kept me positive, kept me going every

0:36:48.280 --> 0:36:51.100
<v Speaker 3>single day. And I can't I can't say thank you

0:36:51.140 --> 0:36:53.560
<v Speaker 3>enough to these guys for what they've done for me

0:36:53.600 --> 0:36:55.400
<v Speaker 3>the last four years of my life.

0:36:55.540 --> 0:36:57.620
<v Speaker 4>And looking forward to continue to do that.

0:36:58.260 --> 0:37:01.760
<v Speaker 3>Regardless of where my status is next year, hopefully we win.

0:37:01.830 --> 0:37:04.230
<v Speaker 3>And I talked to Andrew and I said, you know what, Andrew,

0:37:04.590 --> 0:37:06.350
<v Speaker 3>bring me back for one more so we can win

0:37:06.370 --> 0:37:06.930
<v Speaker 3>four in a row.

0:37:07.330 --> 0:37:09.970
<v Speaker 4>But if not, I mean, I'm happy.

0:37:09.610 --> 0:37:12.089
<v Speaker 3>And I'm so excited that I got this opportunity to

0:37:12.130 --> 0:37:12.989
<v Speaker 3>trip in with these guys.

0:37:13.469 --> 0:37:15.830
<v Speaker 4>And that's the goal. You know, like today we're celebrating,

0:37:16.310 --> 0:37:18.549
<v Speaker 4>but we keep the same goal in mind.

0:37:18.570 --> 0:37:20.830
<v Speaker 3>We got to win 11 games in October to be

0:37:20.870 --> 0:37:21.350
<v Speaker 3>a champion.

0:37:21.370 --> 0:37:22.830
<v Speaker 4>So we're looking forward to that.

0:37:23.190 --> 0:37:25.589
<v Speaker 2>Do you have a message for your DH watching back

0:37:25.640 --> 0:37:26.899
<v Speaker 2>at home, listening back at home?

0:37:27.060 --> 0:37:29.420
<v Speaker 4>Of course, not just to him, but for everybody who

0:37:29.460 --> 0:37:31.700
<v Speaker 4>was at peace. But Shohei, we miss you a lot.

0:37:32.020 --> 0:37:35.660

<v Speaker 3>But Shohei, Paje, the guys who contribute throughout the whole year,

<v Speaker 3>this celebration.

0:37:52.010 --> 0:37:54.230
<v Speaker 4>We miss you a lot, but we can't.

0:37:54.110 --> 0:37:55.410
<v Speaker 3>Wait to have you on the field with us in

0:37:55.430 --> 0:37:55.950
<v Speaker 3>a couple weeks.

0:37:56.230 --> 0:37:58.290
<v Speaker 2>Can't wait to see you back at Dodger Stadium tomorrow

0:37:58.590 --> 0:38:00.319
<v Speaker 2>as NL West champs again.

0:38:00.340 --> 0:38:01.239
<v Speaker 4>Let's go, let's go.

0:38:01.300 --> 0:38:05.680
<v Speaker 3>That sounds great, but three-time champion sounds even better.

0:38:05.860 --> 0:38:06.419
<v Speaker 4>Let's do that.

0:38:06.800 --> 0:38:10.800
<v Speaker 2>My new admirer, a man that has felt the Vase magic.

0:38:11.469 --> 0:38:16.010
<v Speaker 2>For the first time in his life, the back-to-back, two times,

0:38:16.430 --> 0:38:21.009
<v Speaker 2>two times, Cy Young Award winner, Tarek Skubal. This is

0:38:21.080 --> 0:38:23.239
<v Speaker 2>a little bit more of the celebration you were thinking of,

0:38:23.300 --> 0:38:23.700
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure.

0:38:23.719 --> 0:38:26.140
<v Speaker 15>Yeah, I like this one a lot better. I look

0:38:26.160 --> 0:38:27.580
<v Speaker 15>forward to these types of celebrations.

0:38:28.160 --> 0:38:30.580
<v Speaker 2>What's it like to be part of this team now

0:38:31.280 --> 0:38:33.899
<v Speaker 2>and everybody embrace you as much as you've embraced them

0:38:33.940 --> 0:38:34.540
<v Speaker 2>so quickly?

0:38:34.560 --> 0:38:35.700
<v Speaker 4>No, I mean, it's a.

0:38:35.660 --> 0:38:36.460
<v Speaker 11>Great group of guys.

0:38:36.860 --> 0:38:41.090
<v Speaker 15>The organization is great from top down. You know that everybody.

0:38:42.300 --> 0:38:44.279
<v Speaker 4>My cigar's gone now. I appreciate that.

0:38:44.380 --> 0:38:44.760
<v Speaker 5>Free.

0:38:45.180 --> 0:38:46.200
<v Speaker 4>We can find you a new one.

0:38:46.219 --> 0:38:48.759
<v Speaker 15>Yeah, I'll get a new one. No, but the guys

0:38:48.800 --> 0:38:50.560
<v Speaker 15>are so great here, you know, and the work ethic's

0:38:50.600 --> 0:38:53.960
<v Speaker 15>second to none. Talent's great, obviously, but the work that

0:38:53.980 --> 0:38:55.520
<v Speaker 15>I get to see put in every single day is

0:38:55.540 --> 0:38:56.480
<v Speaker 15>a ton of fun to be a part of.

0:38:56.500 --> 0:38:58.980
<v Speaker 2>Do you feel like you've brought the best out of

0:38:59.020 --> 0:39:01.480
<v Speaker 2>guys and they've brought the best out of you?

0:39:02.060 --> 0:39:04.040
<v Speaker 15>I don't know. I mean, I think this group definitely

0:39:04.080 --> 0:39:06.020
<v Speaker 15>demands that out of everybody, you know, the best out

0:39:06.060 --> 0:39:08.259
<v Speaker 15>of everybody, you know, and that's just holding each other

0:39:08.300 --> 0:39:11.140
<v Speaker 15>accountable on all the little things, and it's a ton

0:39:11.180 --> 0:39:11.399
<v Speaker 15>of fun.

0:39:12.000 --> 0:39:13.820
<v Speaker 2>Are you going to do the beer slide here, or

0:39:13.840 --> 0:39:15.700
<v Speaker 2>are you just going to cheer on the rest of

0:39:15.739 --> 0:39:16.140
<v Speaker 2>the crew?

0:39:16.160 --> 0:39:18.609
<v Speaker 15>Yeah, I'm not going to do that. I don't remember

0:39:18.650 --> 0:39:20.910
<v Speaker 15>the last time I've slid, so I'm not going to

0:39:20.950 --> 0:39:21.290
<v Speaker 15>do that.

0:39:21.910 --> 0:39:23.890
<v Speaker 2>What do you think about Max Muncy as a teammate?

0:39:24.190 --> 0:39:27.440
<v Speaker 15>He's awesome. He's awesome. I love being teammates with him.

0:39:28.070 --> 0:39:30.100
<v Speaker 4>All right, Scooble, thanks a lot for stopping. You really

0:39:30.140 --> 0:39:32.279
<v Speaker 4>kept it together right now. I appreciate it. Thank you.

0:39:32.520 --> 0:39:35.620
<v Speaker 2>Hey, here we are with the catching tandem of Will

0:39:35.680 --> 0:39:39.080
<v Speaker 2>Smith and Hunter Verduccia. You guys certainly have made a

0:39:39.410 --> 0:39:43.500
<v Speaker 2>great team alternating. Will, let's start with you. You've seen

0:39:43.560 --> 0:39:46.259
<v Speaker 2>a lot in your time with the Dodgers. What can

0:39:46.300 --> 0:39:48.600
<v Speaker 2>you say about the job Padush has done while you

0:39:48.620 --> 0:39:50.140
<v Speaker 2>were gone and now helping you out?

0:39:50.880 --> 0:39:51.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he's been great.

0:39:52.219 --> 0:39:55.239
<v Speaker 11>Hopefully the pitchers get some hits here and there.

0:39:55.739 --> 0:39:57.480
<v Speaker 4>He's been doing a good job. Happy to have him

0:39:57.500 --> 0:39:57.890
<v Speaker 4>with us.

0:39:57.930 --> 0:40:01.319
<v Speaker 11>With the rushing going down, obviously he's someone who stepped up,

0:40:01.390 --> 0:40:02.280
<v Speaker 11>and he stepped up big.

0:40:03.180 --> 0:40:05.109
<v Speaker 4>Did you think he'd be here, Will? Did you think

0:40:05.150 --> 0:40:06.069
<v Speaker 4>he'd be part of this?

0:40:06.489 --> 0:40:09.970
<v Speaker 2>I mean, there were some doubts, and obviously you're enjoying

0:40:10.010 --> 0:40:11.910
<v Speaker 2>this as much as you possibly can.

0:40:12.930 --> 0:40:14.070
<v Speaker 4>I don't know. I don't think I would have missed it.

0:40:14.070 --> 0:40:17.529
<v Speaker 11>You know, I would have just gone through kind of

0:40:17.550 --> 0:40:19.600
<v Speaker 11>whatever I needed to do to get back out there and.

0:40:19.520 --> 0:40:20.100
<v Speaker 4>Help you guys win.

0:40:20.780 --> 0:40:23.480
<v Speaker 2>Fetty, is this guy your mentor? How much has he

0:40:23.520 --> 0:40:26.180
<v Speaker 2>meant to you in this short period of time? The

0:40:26.200 --> 0:40:28.360
<v Speaker 2>first time around and now the second time around.

0:40:28.480 --> 0:40:31.900
<v Speaker 4>Part two, there's sequels. No, he's been very helpful.

0:40:32.320 --> 0:40:34.680
<v Speaker 16>You know, even before I got traded, you know, during

0:40:34.700 --> 0:40:38.560
<v Speaker 16>spring training, during the season, he's been super helpful. You know,

0:40:38.580 --> 0:40:41.490
<v Speaker 16>when I get called up, you know, he helps me out.

0:40:42.040 --> 0:40:44.900
<v Speaker 16>Learned the pitchers quick, and it's been super helpful.

0:40:45.480 --> 0:40:48.299
<v Speaker 4>How much beer has he thrown at you today? At

0:40:48.340 --> 0:40:53.049
<v Speaker 4>least a case. A case of Tallboys. I was helping

0:40:53.130 --> 0:40:55.370
<v Speaker 4>out on the bench. I was bringing waters, towels.

0:40:56.130 --> 0:41:00.130
<v Speaker 16>Yeah, ice towels, waters. He was doing everything in his

0:41:00.190 --> 0:41:02.950
<v Speaker 16>power to make sure he didn't go in that game today.

0:41:03.010 --> 0:41:06.560
<v Speaker 4>It was pretty hot, but no, he's been super helpful.

0:41:06.580 --> 0:41:07.100
<v Speaker 5>All right, guys.

0:41:07.160 --> 0:41:08.900
<v Speaker 4>Congratulations. Will, congratulations.

0:41:09.810 --> 0:41:12.790
<v Speaker 2>You know what you mean to this organization, these group

0:41:12.850 --> 0:41:15.509
<v Speaker 2>of guys, and Fetty, obviously I like you a lot

0:41:15.550 --> 0:41:16.089
<v Speaker 2>more than Will.

0:41:21.430 --> 0:41:23.120
<v Speaker 4>Well, you're not supposed to hit me with the bottle.

0:41:23.700 --> 0:41:27.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh, Kyle Tucker, close to the cycle twice on this

0:41:27.800 --> 0:41:30.220
<v Speaker 2>road trip, his first experience with the Dodgers.

0:41:30.320 --> 0:41:32.100
<v Speaker 4>I'm double fisted with microphones.

0:41:32.500 --> 0:41:35.710
<v Speaker 2>He's double fisted with a Budweiser and a champagne bottle.

0:41:36.190 --> 0:41:39.280
<v Speaker 4>How good does this feel? This is awesome.

0:41:39.340 --> 0:41:41.589
<v Speaker 11>It's a long season, a lot of ups and downs

0:41:41.610 --> 0:41:44.549
<v Speaker 11>throughout the year for everyone. You've got to grind through

0:41:44.590 --> 0:41:47.009
<v Speaker 11>it to get to this point, but we know we've

0:41:47.030 --> 0:41:48.230
<v Speaker 11>got a lot in front of us, so we're going

0:41:48.250 --> 0:41:50.890
<v Speaker 11>to enjoy this moment right here. It's a lot of fun,

0:41:51.680 --> 0:41:52.739
<v Speaker 11>but we know where we've got.

0:41:52.680 --> 0:41:53.360
<v Speaker 12>To be at the end of the year.

0:41:53.640 --> 0:41:56.160
<v Speaker 2>When you get that first splash of champagne with the

0:41:56.200 --> 0:41:59.480
<v Speaker 2>season you've had to never give up on it, how

0:41:59.540 --> 0:42:02.469
<v Speaker 2>much more good did it feel to get it?

0:42:03.060 --> 0:42:03.660
<v Speaker 15>Yeah, this is great.

0:42:03.719 --> 0:42:05.259
<v Speaker 11>I mean, this is where you want to be at

0:42:05.300 --> 0:42:07.799
<v Speaker 11>throughout the year, so hopefully we can do this a

0:42:07.860 --> 0:42:08.339
<v Speaker 11>lot more.

0:42:08.760 --> 0:42:12.280
<v Speaker 4>Do you recognize this guy, Schnellzilla? What's happening right now?

0:42:12.860 --> 0:42:14.279
<v Speaker 1>What is going on?

0:42:14.840 --> 0:42:17.580
<v Speaker 4>Oh, we need new headphones, by the way. I think

0:42:17.620 --> 0:42:21.000
<v Speaker 4>I'm electrocuted right now. Tucker, can you help me out

0:42:21.040 --> 0:42:23.340
<v Speaker 4>a little bit? Yeah, you're on your own with that.

0:42:23.469 --> 0:42:27.410
<v Speaker 2>Oh, thanks a lot, Tucker. I was wondering, why the

0:42:27.450 --> 0:42:29.509
<v Speaker 2>heck didn't you try to leg out that triple? I

0:42:29.550 --> 0:42:31.650
<v Speaker 2>thought that was triple written all over it, Tucker.

0:42:32.630 --> 0:42:33.330
<v Speaker 11>I tried my best.

0:42:33.870 --> 0:42:35.250
<v Speaker 4>I don't think I was going to get there. I

0:42:35.450 --> 0:42:38.430
<v Speaker 4>probably would have been thrown out halfway. But it's all good.

0:42:39.390 --> 0:42:41.870
<v Speaker 2>I was asking you before, I just got a whole

0:42:41.910 --> 0:42:45.150
<v Speaker 2>champagne bottle dumped on me, Tucker, that you're enjoying very much.

0:42:45.989 --> 0:42:48.810
<v Speaker 2>For you to battle this entire year and come out

0:42:48.890 --> 0:42:51.770
<v Speaker 2>on the other end of it and have this opportunity,

0:42:52.450 --> 0:42:53.930
<v Speaker 2>how much does that mean to you?

0:42:54.150 --> 0:42:54.989
<v Speaker 15>Yeah, it's great.

0:42:55.070 --> 0:42:57.910
<v Speaker 11>I mean, from day one of spring training, we know

0:42:57.950 --> 0:42:59.569
<v Speaker 11>our goals to get to the World Series and win it.

0:42:59.610 --> 0:43:01.879
<v Speaker 11>So there's a lot of steps and a lot of games.

0:43:03.030 --> 0:43:05.630
<v Speaker 11>before we get to that point, but you just got

0:43:05.670 --> 0:43:08.049
<v Speaker 11>to celebrate each moment. This is a great one, so

0:43:08.090 --> 0:43:10.009
<v Speaker 11>like I said, hopefully we can do this plenty more times.

0:43:10.450 --> 0:43:11.390
<v Speaker 4>One more thing for you.

0:43:11.450 --> 0:43:13.690
<v Speaker 2>How grateful are you that so many of these guys

0:43:13.790 --> 0:43:16.570
<v Speaker 2>embraced you and pulled you along with them at times?

0:43:18.810 --> 0:43:21.510
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, Tucker, now you're getting it right to the face, Tucker,

0:43:21.530 --> 0:43:22.410
<v Speaker 2>from Blake Trinan.

0:43:24.050 --> 0:43:25.469
<v Speaker 4>No, I mean, this group's awesome.

0:43:25.510 --> 0:43:27.910
<v Speaker 11>Everyone supports each other through the ups and downs, so...

0:43:28.969 --> 0:43:30.070
<v Speaker 11>We all know where we want to be at the

0:43:30.090 --> 0:43:31.450
<v Speaker 11>end of the year, and we all just try and

0:43:31.670 --> 0:43:33.770
<v Speaker 11>help each other out to get there. This is a

0:43:33.810 --> 0:43:36.370
<v Speaker 11>great group to play with, play behind, and everything, so

0:43:36.390 --> 0:43:39.209
<v Speaker 11>everyone's super supportive. Everyone knows what we've got.

0:43:39.110 --> 0:43:39.370
<v Speaker 7>To get done.

0:43:40.030 --> 0:43:42.870
<v Speaker 4>Great to share this with you. Enjoy it. The teammates

0:43:42.969 --> 0:43:44.250
<v Speaker 4>love you, and keep it going.

0:43:44.270 --> 0:43:44.750
<v Speaker 5>Thank you.

0:43:44.770 --> 0:43:46.049
<v Speaker 4>Appreciate it. We have a.

0:43:46.130 --> 0:43:51.380
<v Speaker 2>Shark sighting in the Dodger Clubhouse. Justin Robleski, obviously it's

0:43:51.400 --> 0:43:53.830
<v Speaker 2>been a great year for you. What does it mean

0:43:53.850 --> 0:43:55.819
<v Speaker 2>to be such a big part of this team after

0:43:55.860 --> 0:43:57.940
<v Speaker 2>winning the World Series and being a big part of

0:43:58.280 --> 0:43:59.780
<v Speaker 2>what you guys did against the Jays?

0:44:00.160 --> 0:44:03.150
<v Speaker 17>Yeah, I mean, obviously it's been a super big blessing

0:44:03.170 --> 0:44:04.410
<v Speaker 17>for me to be a part of this team, a

0:44:04.430 --> 0:44:07.380
<v Speaker 17>part of this group. I just try to be grateful

0:44:07.420 --> 0:44:08.020
<v Speaker 17>for it every day.

0:44:08.880 --> 0:44:09.660
<v Speaker 4>Sometimes it's hard.

0:44:10.180 --> 0:44:12.940
<v Speaker 17>Sometimes you go through tough stretches and you try to

0:44:12.960 --> 0:44:16.700
<v Speaker 17>figure out why. I'm super blessed and lucky to have

0:44:16.719 --> 0:44:17.720
<v Speaker 17>a chance to be on this team.

0:44:18.260 --> 0:44:19.419
<v Speaker 4>It's a lot of fun. What a group.

0:44:19.700 --> 0:44:22.509
<v Speaker 2>You're kind of the bridge from the bullpen dogs to

0:44:22.550 --> 0:44:26.169
<v Speaker 2>the starting rotation. Does that make you feel like you

0:44:26.190 --> 0:44:29.890
<v Speaker 2>touch everybody on this staff? Yeah, pause.

0:44:30.050 --> 0:44:30.690
<v Speaker 1>But no, it does.

0:44:30.770 --> 0:44:31.930
<v Speaker 4>It does.

0:44:32.830 --> 0:44:36.190
<v Speaker 17>You know, wherever they need me, that's kind of, you know,

0:44:36.210 --> 0:44:38.370
<v Speaker 17>been my role for as long as I've been here.

0:44:38.430 --> 0:44:41.450
<v Speaker 17>So I'm just trying to do what I can when

0:44:41.469 --> 0:44:43.509
<v Speaker 17>I get the ball. Just try to, you know, again,

0:44:43.640 --> 0:44:47.700
<v Speaker 17>enjoy it. And yeah, just do my best to help

0:44:47.719 --> 0:44:50.540
<v Speaker 17>the team win. And whatever that capacity is, I'm happy

0:44:50.560 --> 0:44:50.860
<v Speaker 17>to do it.

0:44:51.239 --> 0:44:53.100
<v Speaker 2>Do you feel like it was a little more special

0:44:53.140 --> 0:44:55.500
<v Speaker 2>being the guy to start this game the day that

0:44:55.520 --> 0:44:56.260
<v Speaker 2>you guys clinched?

0:44:56.680 --> 0:44:57.419
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, it was pretty cool.

0:44:57.460 --> 0:45:00.029
<v Speaker 17>You know, waking up this morning knowing that that's kind

<v Speaker 2>let's do it again It was a great time in Cincinnati.

0:45:38.800 --> 0:45:42.080
<v Speaker 2>Always love bringing out the best of the personalities of

0:45:42.120 --> 0:45:44.779
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers. It's all about them, and a lot of

0:45:44.840 --> 0:45:47.180
<v Speaker 2>times you just see these guys step into the batter's

0:45:47.260 --> 0:45:49.910
<v Speaker 2>box or take the mound, and you don't know what

0:45:49.969 --> 0:45:52.370
<v Speaker 2>makes them tick. You don't know what they sound like.

0:45:52.690 --> 0:45:55.230
<v Speaker 2>You don't see that type of emotion, but it was

0:45:55.290 --> 0:45:58.529
<v Speaker 2>a party in Cincinnati. A lot of guys don't know

0:45:58.590 --> 0:46:01.030
<v Speaker 2>if they're going to be back together with the Dodgers.

0:46:01.330 --> 0:46:04.690
<v Speaker 2>Blake Trennan's a free agent. He's 37 years old. Alex

0:46:04.910 --> 0:46:07.479
<v Speaker 2>Vessia is a free agent at the end of the year.

0:46:07.820 --> 0:46:12.259
<v Speaker 2>Miguel Rojas' future is up in the air. Quique Hernandez,

0:46:12.260 --> 0:46:16.120
<v Speaker 2>35 years old, free agent. So a lot of guys

0:46:16.140 --> 0:46:19.050
<v Speaker 2>weren't sure if that was going to be their last

0:46:19.350 --> 0:46:23.050
<v Speaker 2>NL West season. celebration with each other in a Dodger

0:46:23.130 --> 0:46:26.590
<v Speaker 2>uniform so a little bit of a last dance feel

0:46:26.630 --> 0:46:29.450
<v Speaker 2>with some of the guys in that clubhouse and that's

0:46:29.489 --> 0:46:33.009
<v Speaker 2>why you saw more emotion from certain guys than others

0:46:33.140 --> 0:46:35.879
<v Speaker 2>so awesome to share that with you again it was

0:46:35.940 --> 0:46:39.160
