Speaker 5: on the action at eight six.

8
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 2: Six eats Breeze, sleeps Baseball.

9
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 6: Now we go to your award winning broadcasters of the

10
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 6: world champion Dodgers.

11
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 5: Here's your host of Dodger Talk.

12
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,319
Speaker 2: It's only been fourteen years. Every day, David Vasse. We

13
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 2: are live at Dodgers Stadium. After the Dodgers sweep the

14
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:45,599
Speaker 2: Brewers in the NLCS in advance to the World Series

15
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 2: for a second straight year, David Vasse with you until

16
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 2: I don't know eleven o'clock. We'll see how this goes.

17
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 2: But I honestly don't want to go anywhere. You shouldn't

18
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 2: want to go anywhere either. This is the only play

19
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 2: to talk Dodgers. To celebrate Dodgers. As the Dodgers are

20
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 2: in an unprecedented time in the history of their franchise,

21
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 2: going to the World Series five times in the last

22
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 2: nine years, they're looking to really separate themselves as one

23
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 2: of not only the greatest teams and Dodger franchise history,

24
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 2: but also one of the greatest teams in baseball history,

25
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 2: and they certainly can separate themselves from almost every other

26
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 2: team out there in the last twenty years. If they're

27
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 2: able to run the table and win their second consecutive championship,

28
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 2: it would be only the it would be the first

29
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 2: time in twenty four years anybody has repeated as champions

30
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 2: in baseball. Remember the Yankees did a three peat from

31
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 2: ninety eight to two thousand, the Blue Jays went back

32
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 2: to back in ninety two and ninety three, and the

33
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 2: Dogs have never done that in their franchise history. Not

34
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 2: to mention, the Dodgers have only lost one game in

35
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 2: this postseason. There's been other teams that have only lost

36
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 2: one game in the postseason, but they all won seven games,

37
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 2: like the Big reg Big Red Machine, and teams during

38
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 2: the expanded Championship Series play won eleven games, but no

39
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 2: team has won thirteen games on their way to the

40
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 2: World Series championship. And that's what the Dodgers would accomplish

41
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 2: if they're able to get four more wins. That's right

42
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 2: with the two wildcard wins over the Reds that would

43
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 2: give the Dodgers the most wins of any world champion

44
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 2: in postseason history. With this expanded postseason play, we got

45
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 2: a full border calls eight six, six, nine, eight seven,

46
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 2: two five seventy. What a night to be here? Two

47
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 2: people responded, or two groups of people responded. Number One,

48
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: Show Haotani responded because he was getting very annoyed and

49
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 2: was hearing a lot of the criticism that he was

50
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 2: not a postseason player. Trust me, he heard it, and

51
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 2: he also heard the questions the day before yesterday about

52
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 2: the fact that is pitching bleeding into his hitting. And

53
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 2: look at him tonight. He leads the Dodgers with ten

54
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 2: strikeouts in six plus innings tonight, allowed just one hit

55
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 2: and hits three home runs. One of them went over

56
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 2: the right field pavilion. O'tani becomes just the third player

57
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 2: ever to hit a home run over the right field roof,

58
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 2: joining Willie Stargel and Kryle Schwarber, who did it during

59
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 2: the NLDS. So what a night for Show Haotani and

60
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,119
Speaker 2: you The Dodger fans that showed up and sold out

61
00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 2: Dodgers Stadium tonight responded and were heard all night long.

62
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: And how could you not be when you witness one of,

63
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 2: if not the greatest performance in Championship Series history. I'm

64
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 2: not going to say postseason history, but certainly it's right

65
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 2: up there with the greatest performance in playoff history. Eight

66
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 2: six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the

67
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 2: phone number. Let's head downstairs again to the press conference room.

68
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 2: That's where the NLCS MVP Sho hal Tani is with

69
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 2: Will Ireton fielding questions.

70
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 7: Showy, A lot have been made about your performances offensively

71
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 7: this postseason coming into tonight with you starting, did you

72
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 7: want to make a statement in this game tonight?

73
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 8: She's in.

74
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 7: My schedule?

75
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 9: Can I say not to you?

76
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 2: Too much?

77
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 8: Of the.

78
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 9: Mom got sensors, this ship, he got cool, That's all

79
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 9: you now.

80
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 10: I really focused on, first of all, first and foremost

81
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 10: as a starting pitcher, to make sure I'm an effective

82
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 10: starting pitcher on the hitting side, you know, just looking

83
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 10: at the whole entire team, we'll see that at times

84
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 10: the right handed hitters picked us up, and on the

85
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 10: flip side sometimes the left handed hitters picked us up.

86
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 10: So I think, in a sense, we're just trying to

87
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 10: find the right balance.

88
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 2: Let's go to build straight back in the middle.

89
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 11: Yes, sure, hey, Andrew and a lot of your teammates

90
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 11: are calling this the greatest postseason game ever played.

91
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 10: What do you think the SNT wants?

92
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 9: It's Moki Tail sometimes.

93
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 12: Mmmm.

94
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 13: Then I.

95
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 9: Took what I told you.

96
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 10: And as I stayed before. You know, there were at

97
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 10: times during the postseason where Tail and MOOKI, you know,

98
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 10: picked me up. And you know, this time around it

99
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 10: was my turn to be able to perform. And I

100
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 10: think just looking at looking back over the course of

101
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 10: the entire postseason, I haven't performed to the expectation. But

102
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 10: I think today we all what you know, what the

103
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 10: left handed hitters.

104
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 14: Could do j P on the left Typically you are

105
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 14: at your best as a hitter on the days that

106
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 14: you don't pitch. This was one of your best hitting

107
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 14: performances ever. I'm wondering if you made any mental adjustments

108
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 14: or adjustments to your preparation as a hitter prior to

109
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 14: this game.

110
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 10: Then I then I do the Moss taking.

111
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 9: Man. You know.

112
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 10: M uh, you know, I felt like the last couple

113
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 10: of days, I felt pretty good at the play. And

114
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 10: you know, just because of the postseason, the simple size,

115
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 10: the lack of and it's just that I think the

116
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 10: the lack of performance really skews in this short period

117
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 10: of time.

118
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 7: So because you're two more in English up here on

119
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 7: the front and then back to Paul on the side.

120
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 2: Pitching wise, what was working well for you tonight.

121
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 5: Of comit.

122
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,839
Speaker 10: The last several days, we did a pretty good job

123
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 10: as a starting pitcher, being able to get out and

124
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,719
Speaker 10: be effective, and just looking at the entire line of

125
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 10: my impression that I had was that it's a very tough,

126
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 10: effective lineup. So talking with Will Smith, we had a

127
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 10: pretty good game plan going to the game and we

128
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 10: were able to execute it.

129
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 2: All Right, there's show Heo Tani and Will Ireton. Obviously

130
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 2: an incredible once in a lifetime performance from a remarkable

131
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 2: player that we have never seen the likes of. I

132
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 2: don't care what you say about Babe Ruth. We have

133
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 2: never I never saw Babe Ruth play. You never saw

134
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 2: Babe Ruth play. This guy is on another planet and

135
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 2: you know, trust me. He heard all the critics leading

136
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 2: up to this game. He heard about the fact that

137
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 2: he was struggling this postseason. He obviously fielded questions about

138
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:51,839
Speaker 2: how pitching maybe affecting his hitting He answered three consecutive

139
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 2: questions about that when he was in the press conference

140
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 2: room a couple of days ago. He is very aware

141
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 2: of what is said about him, and he wanted to

142
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 2: come out tonight and dominate on the mound, and he

143
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 2: was determined to be able to make a statement offensively.

144
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 2: And it kind of helped. With the pictures that the

145
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 2: Brewers were throwing tonight, Jose Cantana was not going to

146
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 2: hold the Dodgers down. He gave up three runs right

147
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 2: away in the first inning, including Otani's first home run.

148
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 2: So this had sweep written all over it. After the

149
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 2: Dodgers beat Jacob Mazerowski and the Brewers last night. Eight

150
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 2: six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the

151
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 2: phone number just before we go out to the phone calls.

152
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 2: Keep in mind what you're watching. You're watching individual greatness,

153
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 2: and you're watching greatness that the Dodger franchise has never experienced.

154
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 2: This has never happened before. My son was born in

155
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 2: twenty fifteen. I told him this afternoon, can you believe

156
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 2: that the Dodgers will be going to their fifth World

157
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 2: Series since you've been born? I was born in nineteen

158
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 2: seventy six. The Dodgers went to two World Series during

159
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 2: my lifetime before this stretch of time. And Mark Walter,

160
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 2: who was here tonight, was on stage addressed the crowd.

161
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 2: I mean, this guy has transformed this franchise, and I

162
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 2: bet a lot that he's going to transform the Lakers

163
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 2: as well. He's that type of guy and that type

164
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 2: of visionary. And here the Dodgers are on top of

165
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 2: the baseball world. I know, I know, they haven't won

166
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 2: the World Series yet, they still have to prove it

167
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 2: on the field. The World Series is not starting until

168
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 2: a week from tonight. Brew the Mariners and Blue Jays

169
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 2: are headed back to Toronto, with the Mariners up three

170
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 2: games to two, but I like the Dodgers' chances against

171
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 2: either one of those teams. All right, let's go out

172
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 2: to the phones. Mike in Irwin Dale lead us off

173
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 2: tonight on Dodger Talk the night the Dodgers head back

174
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 2: to the World Series.

175
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, Dave, thanks for taking my call the greatest game

176
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 3: ever in postseason history. I've been born since seventy one,

177
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 3: and this is by far even more than Gibbe's Grand

178
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,719
Speaker 3: Slam and Freddy's Grand slamming last year. The pitching, the

179
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,719
Speaker 3: hitting by show. Hey, and then you know what, has

180
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:27,559
Speaker 3: this ever happened where a team swept the Dodgers in

181
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 3: the regular season and for the Dodgers to sweep them

182
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 3: right out? Has that ever happened? I'd like to find

183
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 3: that out.

184
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 2: The closest thing I could tell you, Mike is when

185
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 2: the eighty eight Dodgers lost ten out of eleven to

186
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 2: the Mets and then beat them in a seven game series.

187
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 2: But no, there is nothing in Dodger history that would

188
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 2: reflect a team beating them all six times and then

189
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 2: the Dodgers sweeping them in the postseason. That has not happened.

190
00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, And then yeah, and by the way, it takes

191
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 3: more than money to win championships as a total team effort.

192
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 3: There's more to it.

193
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 13: And then Dave, what do you think.

194
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 3: The nosebleed for the World Cheries will cost a nosebleed?

195
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 2: Thanks with a phone call, Mike appreciated. Get your tickets now.

196
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 2: Eight sixty six, nine eighty seven, two five seventy. I

197
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 2: tried to tell you in Colin, we've got to find

198
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 2: these calls from June and July. At some point we've

199
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 2: got to play those calls back. I got to have

200
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 2: the receipts on all of you, and the receipts of

201
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 2: my belief in this team. If you were listening to

202
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 2: this show, you should have bought your World Series tickets

203
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 2: right when they were available, because I believed in the

204
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 2: track record of these players. I believed that their starting

205
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 2: pitchers were going to get healthy at the right time.

206
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 2: And it's all come together as the Dodgers envisioned.

207
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 15: Now.

208
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 2: Was it always looking like it was going to head

209
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:05,719
Speaker 2: into this direction? Obviously not. This is the best of

210
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 2: all worlds here where you have all four of these

211
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 2: starters not only healthy, but on a heater at the

212
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 2: same time. That doesn't happen. And even John Smoltz said,

213
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 2: at this point in time, with the way these four

214
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 2: starters are pitching, it's better than his starting staff that

215
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 2: many consider the best that they had ever seen with Glavin, Smoltz,

216
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 2: Maddox and Steve Avery. He said it himself, this staff,

217
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 2: these four are better than what those Braves had, and

218
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 2: that says a lot. So at some point you're going

219
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 2: to have to come to realize that the Dodgers are

220
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 2: that team. The team you root for is that team,

221
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 2: and you're gonna have to believe that these guys are

222
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 2: far superior players that have great experience, great work ethic,

223
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 2: and that's the reason why they're separated themselves from other

224
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 2: large payroll teams because they picked the right guys to

225
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 2: give big contracts. Two eight six six seven two five

226
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 2: seventy is the phone number. The Dodgers beat the Brewers

227
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 2: tonight five to one and sweep the NLCS. Let's go

228
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 2: back out to the phones. Woodland Hills. John, You're on

229
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 2: Dodger Talk Live from Dodgers Stadium. Hi, John, Yeah, DV.

230
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 11: Way to take it man.

231
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 8: You were amazing in the clubhouse as always.

232
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 2: That's one way to put it in.

233
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 8: That champagne seriously, and you had that great interview almost

234
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 8: with Kershop.

235
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 16: But then you saved the day.

236
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 8: It was fantastic.

237
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 17: You.

238
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 8: You literally are the OG of the Dodgers. They love you,

239
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 8: every single player.

240
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 14: You know.

241
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 8: Mookie Betts gave an interview to Kirsen Watson and then

242
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 8: he decided to give you an additional interviews. See that's

243
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 8: who you know. You're the MVP of the media for

244
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 8: the Dodgers. Seriously, I'm not just blowing smoke up here,

245
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 8: you know, it's the truth. Man. You're the man, dude,

246
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 8: thank you.

247
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 2: All I want to do is bring the personalities of

248
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 2: these players to life for you and for every Dodger fan.

249
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 2: It's not about me. It's about just showing you who

250
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 2: they are and what makes them tick. And I believe

251
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 2: you see not just relief, you see the excitement and

252
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 2: the love they have for each other down there.

253
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 8: Well, let me just tell you the true turning point

254
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 8: in this game tonight, in the bottom of the fourth inning,

255
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 8: t k Hernandez shruck out looking hahz, struck out looking

256
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 8: the pitcher. Patrick made the Dodgers' hitters eight and nine

257
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 8: look silly, and then show hey, Otani the unicorn steps

258
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 8: up on the fifth pitch, he hits an eighty nine

259
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 8: mile per hour or cutter four hundred and sixty nine

260
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 8: feet into literally oblivion. He literally hit the ball out

261
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 8: of the out of the stadium. And that was the

262
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 8: statement moment of the game.

263
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 10: I mean it was.

264
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 8: I mean, everyone that I was texting with all over

265
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 8: the world could not believe what we just saw. That

266
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 8: was the moment in history, in playoff history, you can

267
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 8: agree with that, right.

268
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 2: One one hundred percent, John, I would say, in Dodger

269
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 2: playoff history, I mean, when you talk about walk off

270
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 2: Grand Slams and Kurt Gibson's walk off home run in

271
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty eight, that's in a different category. But in

272
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 2: a close out game to try to sweep in advance

273
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 2: to the World Series. Hard to imagine another game where

274
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 2: a player was able to pitch six scoreless, strikeout ten,

275
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,959
Speaker 2: and then hit three home runs. It's just nobody can

276
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 2: do that. It's just not possible, because nobody can do

277
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 2: what Show Hayotani can do. Thanks for the love, John,

278
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 2: appreciate it. See a full board of calls. We're headed

279
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 2: to eleven o'clock tonight, so let's get to it. Let's

280
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 2: go out to Long Beach. John, You're on Dodger Talk

281
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 2: with David Vasse. How you doing, John?

282
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 16: Oh my god, sir, I can't even believe what I

283
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 16: just watched tonight. It's unbelievable. It blows me away to

284
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 16: this guy.

285
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 2: I mean, just when you think that's why Freddie Freeman

286
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 2: was warning everybody, this guy can break out at any moment.

287
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 2: Did anybody believe it would be a breakout of three

288
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 2: home runs on a night that he strikes out ten

289
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 2: and pitches six scoreless innings. I don't believe anybody could

290
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 2: have imagined this type of game from Otani, but you

291
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 2: have to expect the unexpected because there is no player

292
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 2: on this planet like show Hao Tani.

293
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 3: I just I'm speechless.

294
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 16: It's just it's so beautiful for the game. I just

295
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 16: can't that's great for the game.

296
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 2: It's great for the game. It's great for the game

297
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 2: that the Dodgers are at the top of the game,

298
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 2: and it's great for everybody to take interest to have

299
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 2: this team with that player in the World Series for

300
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 2: a second straight year.

301
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 16: I took my wife, took my wife and I took

302
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 16: him into the game last night, and I know she's

303
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 16: at work right now. Her uncle was a lifelong Dodger

304
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 16: fan and he lived in Nevada, so he never got

305
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 16: to go to a game. So, you know, we just

306
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 16: want to say, Uncle Lenn, you know they did it.

307
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 2: Buddy, love it, John, I love John. It runs deep.

308
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 2: The Dodgers run deep. It's an emotional connection. And that's

309
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 2: why I'm always a believer that whoever owns this team

310
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 2: owes the city their best efforts to try to put

311
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 2: a winner on the field each and every year and

312
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 2: be able to make this a great fan experience. Guggenheim,

313
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 2: Mark Walter, Stankasten, Lonrosen, Todd Bowley, the rest of the group.

314
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 2: I do believe they understand that, and I feel like

315
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 2: they have showed their commitment to the city to put

316
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 2: out a winner every year that they have owned the team.

317
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 2: A lot of other owners take the profits and put

318
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 2: it in their pocket and don't put it back into

319
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:45,719
Speaker 2: the team. This ownership group, yes, they have made a profit,

320
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 2: but they have put a greater percentage of that profit

321
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 2: into the team than any other owner out there for

322
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 2: what fourteen years running. I mean, that's something to be

323
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 2: said there, and they have nobody to apologize too for

324
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,719
Speaker 2: doing that. Let's go out to Oz, who is at

325
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 2: Dodgers Stadium tonight. Hi, Oz, you're on Dodger Talk.

326
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 16: What's going on?

327
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 18: Dave?

328
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 19: Thank you so much for taking my call. I just

329
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 19: wanted to say, I think you hit the point right

330
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 19: on your head on the head right now. Every single

331
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 19: owner in and Major League Baseball is a billionaire and

332
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 19: they can spend however much money they want. They could

333
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,719
Speaker 19: have offered show Hey or anybody else on the Dodgers

334
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 19: the same contract, and I just want to say that

335
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 19: the Dodgers are the class act of MLD to be

336
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 19: able to do all, to be able to do what

337
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 19: they did, and it showed it tonight by sweeping the Brewers,

338
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 19: holding them to one run in each and every single game.

339
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 19: I mean, come on, what else, doumore do you want?

340
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean nothing more. I feel like this team

341
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 2: is giving us everything and more that you could want.

342
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 2: But that's the whole point. We do this show every

343
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 2: single night, one hundred and sixty two games, and there

344
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 2: are people that are going to put way too much

345
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 2: emphasis on a game in June, and you can call

346
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 2: me whatever you want, but when you understand the team

347
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 2: that you have and the team that has a greater

348
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 2: goal in mind, I'm not going to overreact in a

349
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 2: game in June. I'm just not. And even when the

350
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 2: Dodgers were struggling in the beginning of September, you kind

351
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 2: of felt like it was temporary. Was it ugly when

352
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 2: Yamamoto lost his no hitter and the Dodgers lost that game?

353
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 2: Of course it was. But even though this bullpen was

354
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 2: not very good this year, the Dodgers have tweaked it.

355
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 2: And a big reason why they've been so successful is

356
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 2: because Roki Sasaki appeared out of thin air seemingly to

357
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 2: rescue this bullpen and to be their closer. But now

358
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 2: you got him. It Shehan down there. Blake Trenton, even

359
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 2: though he gave up a run tonight, is pitching better.

360
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 2: Alex has pitched phenomenal all year long. Anthony Bonda has

361
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 2: been outstanding. So they got guys to shorten the game.

362
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 2: But it's all predicated on their starting pitching, and they

363
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 2: needed these starters to be able to perform at this

364
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 2: level or they were not getting this far. The big

365
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 2: difference is they have performed and given the Dodgers at

366
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 2: least six innings all but twice. Yamamotos disappointing starting the

367
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 2: NLDS and last night Tyler Glass now going oh five

368
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 2: and two thirds innings. That's it. Every other starter, every

369
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 2: other start this postseason has gone at least six innings.

370
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 2: And I know, since we're focused on tonight three home

371
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 2: runs one of, if not the greatest performance by a

372
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 2: player in the postseason. Let's not forget about what Blakesnell

373
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 2: and Yamamoto did in the first two games of this

374
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 2: series on the road to set the tone for this series.

375
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 2: To basically you know, squeeze any sort of life the

376
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 2: Brewers may have thought they had in this series. Those

377
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 2: two guys may have pitched the two greatest games in

378
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 2: the Championship Series that we have seen in quite some time.

379
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 2: Snow was almost perfect in Game one, and Yamamoto pitched

380
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 2: a complete game for the first time in Major League

381
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 2: Baseball postseason since Justin Verlander in twenty seventeen. So it's

382
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 2: all about the starting pitching, and that's why the Dodgers

383
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 2: are in such a great spot going into the World Series.

384
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 2: The World Series doesn't begin until a week from tonight.

385
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 2: Whether it's in La or in Toronto, all these guys

386
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 2: are going to be well rested now. The only concern

387
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 2: is how do the Dodgers keep their offense going with

388
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 2: a week off. That that's the only concern. But with

389
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 2: that starting pitching, you don't have to be able to

390
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 2: score four or five runs every single night. The Dodgers

391
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,120
Speaker 2: know that these guys are going to put up zeros

392
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 2: and if they just scratch across three runs at a

393
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 2: certain point in time, they have a very good chance

394
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 2: of winning the game. Eight six, six, seven, two, five

395
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 2: seventy is the phone number. Let's head back downstairs to

396
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 2: hear from Tao Oscar Hernandez. Many of you were down

397
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 2: on ti Oscar Hernandez. He came up big for the

398
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 2: Dodgers already in this postseason. Let's hear from the great Tao.

399
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 2: I want to get one more and then buy.

400
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 7: More next year, and then buy more than next year.

401
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 2: And hopefully three more after this. I'm sure if you,

402
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 2: like a little kid, didn't come in here and troll

403
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 2: and around.

404
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, this is the only time that you can get

405
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:57,400
Speaker 7: to celebrate something, to be free, not thinking about your job,

406
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 7: not thinking about what you gotta do tomorrow, you know,

407
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 7: and we get to enjoy this one and then get

408
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:03,880
Speaker 7: to work.

409
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 4: Again as gretty as you know, Show hay Ends does

410
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 4: a game like this even shock him.

411
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:13,719
Speaker 20: A little bit, a little bit.

412
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 2: Yes, he's amazing.

413
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 5: Show is incredible.

414
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 7: He's been working, he's been going through a lot, sloan wise,

415
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 7: he feels like he can, he has to contribute more

416
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 7: to the team, and he did today. So hopping for

417
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 7: him and grateful that he can do that.

418
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 2: Is there any other human that could do what he

419
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 2: did tonight?

420
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 7: Series, Well, now that I can think about.

421
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 4: Three homers, ten straighthats, it's fall out of the stadium

422
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 4: and you.

423
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 2: Go to the World Series.

424
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 5: It's incredible.

425
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:49,239
Speaker 7: It just I'm happy to be in his side against him.

426
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 2: Hey, Oscar, you came back to have a chance to

427
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 2: do this again. How happy are you that it worked

428
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 2: out for you and the Dodgers? And how much you

429
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 2: mentioned this team emotionally all year.

430
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 7: I mean, there's there's I don't think there's anything I

431
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 7: can describe how happy I'm am I right now, super grateful,

432
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:08,960

00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 7: to get back and do a special things with this

434
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 7: special group.

435
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 2: You have a lot of the same players from a

436
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 2: year ago. But what makes this group so special to

437
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,439
Speaker 2: be able to go through the adversity of the regular

438
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 2: season and be able to turn it on at the

439
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 2: right time. It just, uh, we hungry to win.

440
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 7: All the new players that came this year, they want

441
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 7: to win, and that's why they sign here.

442
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 8: Uh.

443
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 7: They reject a lot of offers from other teams, and uh,

444
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 7: you know, we're just happy that we get all of

445
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,920

Speaker 7: get wins right now.

447
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 2: The goatee is a little dry, that's all. It's other

448
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 2: way congratulations, Thank you good there is Taascar Hernandez. Love

449
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 2: seeing that smile, and I have no doubt that he

450
00:27:59,920 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 2: is going to come up big at a point in

451
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 2: time in the World Series. And how about this fun

452
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 2: fact about Taoscar Hernandez. In this year's World Series, he

453
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 2: will be playing against one of his former teams, either

454
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 2: the Blue Jays or the Mariners. So maybe ta Oscar

455
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 2: will be up a little bit more for this World

456
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 2: Series against one of those former teams that he played for.

457
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 13: Let's go out to Laura Hambra.

458
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 2: Ricky, you're on Dodger Talk. How you doing, Ricky?

459
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 12: Hey David, I've been listening for a long time. Man,

460
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 12: I'm gonna say you've got the single best postseason performance

461
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 12: we've ever seen. How did you even get a question

462
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 12: out with all that Budweiser and champagne flowing over your head?

463
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 2: I have no idea. I had to regroup for a

464
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 2: couple of times there, Ricky, before I got back on

465
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 2: the saddle. But yeah, it's fun, and you know it's

466
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 2: it's all in love. If those guys, if I'm dry

467
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 2: in that clubhouse, then I know those guys are upset

468
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 2: with me.

469
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 12: Thanks Dave for being a professional because we couldn't do it.

470
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 12: We we we definitely couldn't see as right as you can't.

471
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 2: Yeah you could, you could do it. I've seen somebody

472
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 2: do it in the backyard over there, you know. Sometimes

473
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 2: during the pandemic World Series, I saw a lot of

474
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 2: Dodger fans on social media having uh having uh, you know,

475
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 2: their own champagne celebrations. Where were you watching this game tonight?

476
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 12: We actually had a little party and we we had

477
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 12: to find sports at LA after TNT and we just

478
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 12: had to We had to see what you were doing. Man,

479
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 12: you are you know what a show?

480
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 8: Hacking three?

481
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 11: He had three home runs.

482
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 12: You can take three, three Budweis and two champagnes to

483
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 12: the face, right, we are. We're really proud of you.

484
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 2: Dave Hey, thank you, Ricky. I love all Hambro. Thank

485
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 2: you for the phone call. And I have a feeling

486
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 2: I'll be drenched again when the Dodgers win the World

487
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 2: Series for a second straight year. I don't want to

488
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 2: sound like that guy, Ricky, but I just have so

489
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 2: much confidence in the way this team is playing and

490
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 2: with this pitching, it's gonna be tough to beat them.

491
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 2: If you're the blue Jayser Mariners.

492
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 12: Hey David, it's gonna be tough to beat you, so

493
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 12: let's go Dodgers.

494
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 2: All right, Ricky, thank you for the phone call. Appreciate it. Wow,

495
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 2: my family doesn't even love me this much. I'm staying

496
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 2: here all night. Eight six six nine eight seven two

497
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 2: five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers beat the Brewers

498
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 2: tonight five to one and sweep the NLCS behind one of,

499
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 2: if not the greatest performance by a player in postseason history.

500
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 2: Show Hey Otani answers all the critics tonight, strikes out

501
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 2: ten and six scoreless innings and hits three home runs,

502
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 2: including hitting his second home run over the right field pavilion,

503
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 2: joining Willie Stargel and Kyle Schwarber as the only other

504
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 2: players in Dodgers Stadium history to hit it over the

505
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 2: right field roof. And I'll say this, when I was

506
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 2: out here for the workout on Monday Night, Show Hey

507
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 2: Otani hit four home runs over the right field pavilion,

508
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 2: and he hit a couple off those signs that are

509
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 2: hanging from the bottom of the pavilion, So he was

510
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 2: getting ready. And we have never seen Otani take batting

511
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 2: practice on the field as a Dodger, and to our knowledge,

512
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 2: he has only taking batting practice once on the field

513
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 2: in the last three years, and that was here at

514
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 2: Dodger Stadium in his final season with the Angels. So

515
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 2: he was changing the routine and Andre Ethier keeps texting

516
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 2: me you're welcome. He was the one that told me,

517
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 2: as a player, you want to come out on the

518
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 2: field and see the ball travel. You can only see

519
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 2: so much in the cage, and you want to get

520
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 2: some confidence when you come out on the field and

521
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 2: see the ball travel. And even Freddie Freeman echoed that

522
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 2: when I was talking to him before the game today.

523
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 2: So Andre Ethier and Freddie Freeman, they understand another fellow lefty,

524
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 2: one that may not be from this planet. In show,

525
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 2: Hey Otani, let's go out to Palm Desert. Dave, you're

526
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 2: on Dodger Talk on the night Otani has a historic

527
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 2: game sending the Dodgers to the World Series.

528
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 15: Hi Dave, Hey, my friend, thanks for taking my call.

529
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 16: Dodger Nation loves you.

530
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 13: You do so much for us.

531
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 6: I'm an old school radio guy.

532
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 15: I would rather listen to the radio than watch the

533
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 15: TV all day long. And God bless you and your team.

534
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 15: So I wanted to just say it's a great, great,

535
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 15: great time to be part of Dodger Nation. But part

536
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 15: of Dodger Nation is dealing with everybody else saying we

537
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 15: buy our championships, and to me, that's an insult to

538
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 15: every other player that plays the game. We're on another

539
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 15: level right now, but we had so many up and downs,

540
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 15: and I think the big part of it is our

541
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 15: team just mentally rises to the occasion in the postseason.

542
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 15: It's like I think even like with the Brewers, first

543
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 15: of all, like Philly's a great team and the Brewers,

544
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 15: I think they got too caught up in beating the

545
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 15: Cubs and just how we're like, the job's not done yet.

546
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 18: They flew that l flag and I just think that's

547
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 18: a great point.

548
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 2: I felt that way too, because Pat Murphy even kind

549
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 2: of hinted at that in one of his pregame press conferences.

550
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 2: I mean that that runs deep Brewers Cubs, with Craig

551
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 2: Council leaving the Brewers to manage the Cubs. That was

552
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 2: the biggest victory for the city of Milwaukee, beating the Cubs.

553
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 2: And yeah, they would have loved to go to the

554
00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 2: World Series, but it feels like that was a good

555
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 2: consolation prize.

556
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 15: You're right, Dave, and it's like San Diego. With us,

557
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:11,280
Speaker 15: it's like we're just stronger mentally than all the other teams.

558
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 15: And it's like saying we buy our champions ships is

559
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 15: an insult to Philly, and it's an insult to every

560
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 15: team that plays well.

561
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 2: Look, well, look, the Phillies had a payroll that was

562
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 2: right up there with the Dodgers. Their players just didn't perform,

563
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:32,320
Speaker 2: and the Dodgers, you know, do I have to do

564
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 2: this again because I did it last night. I could

565
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 2: do it again if you want, I can go through

566
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,399
Speaker 2: and thank you for the phone call, Dave. I don't

567
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,720
Speaker 2: really want to get into what other people are saying

568
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 2: about the Dodgers buying their championship. Yes, they have the

569
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 2: highest payroll in baseball. Yes they are playing paying a

570
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 2: very hefty luxury tax that, by the way, gets distributed

571
00:34:56,480 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 2: to every other small market team out there. To the

572
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 2: spirit of that is to reinvest in your on field payroll,

573
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 2: which some teams don't do. But the reality is the Dodgers'

574
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 2: three best players were players that their original teams could

575
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 2: have kept. They chose not to, and they weren't Pittsburgh

576
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 2: or Cincinnati or Milwaukee. They were big market teams. Atlanta

577
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 2: didn't want Freddy Freeman anymore, Boston didn't want Mookie Betts anymore,

578
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 2: the Angels, the La Angels didn't want sho Heo Tani anymore.

579
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 2: And the Dodgers were opportunistic and gave themselves the roster

580
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 2: of flexibility to be ready to sign those type of players.

581
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 2: It's just that simple. There's a lot of fomo and

582
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 2: a lot of regret from a lot of teams out there,

583
00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:00,359
Speaker 2: especially the ones that let those players get away. Eight

584
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 2: six six nine seven two five seventy is the phone number,

585
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 2: Josh in Ontario. You're on Dodger Talk Live from Dodgers Stadium.

586
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 13: I Josh, Hey Dave.

587
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 21: First off, I just want to thank you and your

588
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 21: team because actually was the winner for the wild card

589
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 21: game on game one.

590
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 2: All right, congratulations, I'm glad you made it.

591
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 21: Yeah, I just want to appreciate it. I haven't been

592
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 21: able to call in, so I just want to give

593
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 21: thanks to you. But h this was just honestly, I'm

594
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 21: just impressed out of my mind the way Dodgers are playing,

595
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 21: because I don't think anybody could say Brewers are gonna

596
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 21: get swept, that we were gonna have a three to

597
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 21: one series against Phillies, like everybody was saying Game five

598
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:42,720
Speaker 21: against Phillies.

599
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 18: Like it's just honestly, like this whole week that we're

600
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 18: gonna get off.

601
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:48,320
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's a topic.

602
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 21: But nothing gets past this team right now.

603
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 18: Like they're playing out of their minds right now, no.

604
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 2: Doubt, and they're well prepared. From Dave Roberts. I haven't

605
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 2: had one phone call yet given Dave Roberts his kudos.

606
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,800
Speaker 2: All regular season long, we had at least one caller that,

607
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,319
Speaker 2: you know, put down Dave Roberts. At some point, you're

608
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,760
Speaker 2: going to have to give this man his due, because

609
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 2: Dave Roberts tonight with the Dodgers going back to the

610
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 2: World Series passed Tommy Lesorda and his only second behind

611
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 2: Walter Ralston as a manager, winning five National League pennants.

612
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 2: At some point you're going to have to recognize that

613
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 2: he has turned into this great manager and a guy

614
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 2: that understands the pulse of his team. Everybody wants meetings.

615
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:44,240
Speaker 2: He had meetings, He had hitters meetings, he had bullpen meetings,

616
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 2: and he had a team meeting and a lot of

617
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 2: those meetings sunk in with a lot of players in

618
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 2: different ways. How about last year when Tyler Glassnew sim

619
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 2: game did not go the way the Dodgers thought it

620
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 2: was going to go. A lot of guys were down

621
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 2: and thought they were in a bad spot going down

622
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 2: the stretch and into the postseason. Dave Roberts felt that

623
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 2: and had a meeting and directly called out Walker Buehler

624
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 2: to get going on his season. And Walker Bueller responded,

625
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 2: he knew which guy to point out, and he knew

626
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 2: how he would respond. And looking last year the way

627
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 2: things finished for the Dodgers and Walker Buehler, at some

628
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 2: point you're going to have to concede Dave Roberts is

629
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 2: doing something right here. Eight six six nine seven two

630
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 2: five seventy is the phone number. Also, want to give

631
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 2: a lot of credit to the Dodgers advance scouts because

632
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:46,240
Speaker 2: they have been deployed across the country to get little things,

633
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 2: little tips about these teams the Dodgers are playing. And

634
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 2: what separates the Dodgers from other teams is that their

635
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 2: coaching staff and their scouting staff is really good at

636
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 2: filtering that infram to make it simplified for the players.

637
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 2: Case in point. You know in Game one, the one

638
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 2: little blemish Blake Snell had in the third inning, Caleb

639
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 2: Durbing getting a single off of him and then was

640
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 2: promptly picked off. That was a lot of credit to

641
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 2: the Dodgers pro scouting staff and to Blake Snell to

642
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 2: be able to have the presence of mind in that

643
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 2: moment to remember what they told him was a tip

644
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:33,800
Speaker 2: on when Durbin is going trying to steal second base,

645
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 2: He saw it, he threw over and that was it.

646
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 2: He faced the minimum number of batters. So you got

647
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 2: to give the Dodgers organization, from Andrew Friedman to the

648
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 2: pro scouts, to Dave Roberts and his staff, de know Ebol,

649
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 2: Chris Woodward, Mark Pryor, Connor McGinnis. All those guys put

650
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 2: in a lot of time. Aaron Bates, Rob van Zoyak,

651
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 2: even the bullpen coach Josh Bard a big part of it,

652
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 2: Bob Garren. You got to give all these guys a

653
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 2: lot of credit for being out here available to work

654
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 2: with their superstars and getting the information to them and

655
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 2: putting them in the right spot to win. It's the reality.

656
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 2: It's what separates the Dodgers, from the Yankees, from the

657
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:24,840
Speaker 2: Red Sox, from the Phillies, those things. All these teams

658
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:28,320
Speaker 2: have talent, they have big payrolls, but they don't have

659
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 2: the superstars that put in the work day in and

660
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:37,240
Speaker 2: day out, five hours every day before the game starts.

661
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 2: Mookie Bets, Freddie Freeman, Andy Pa Haz They're all out here.

662
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 2: Can't say that about a lot of these other teams.

663
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 2: Eight six six, nine, seven, two five seventy is the

664
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 2: phone number. Let's go out to Baldwin Park Oscar. Thanks

665
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,879
Speaker 2: for being patient. You're on Dodger Talk. How you doing

666
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 2: Oscar day?

667
00:40:58,080 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 13: That say? What brother doing?

668
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 2: Great to hear from you?

669
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 13: Yeah, Man, Hey, bro, Hey all tani, Hey, what'll there

670
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:10,399
Speaker 13: to say?

671
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 8: Man?

672
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 13: Greatest performers I've ever seen? We won't We've alas seen

673
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:15,839
Speaker 13: anybody's seen in our lifetime. You know, there's not much

674
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:17,959
Speaker 13: said about that. And you know I'm gonna be the first.

675
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 13: I'm give Roberts's credit. Man, he does get bagged down

676
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 13: a lot. And you know, Dave Robertson, he's a good manager.

677
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 13: And I think I think we're seeing now he's in

678
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:30,760
Speaker 13: he's in his prime of managing. Now heos comfortable. He's

679
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:34,359
Speaker 13: his guys, go his pictures. Go and this team right now.

680
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 13: I caught him Scandia, I was signed case. I compare

681
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 13: this the great thing I see the Lakers of the

682
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 13: early two thousands, Shack and Kobe when they got they

683
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 13: won the first one. The second year they kind of

684
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 13: came back, you know, they it wasn't a good year,

685
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 13: but they got hot at the end. They went on

686
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:49,800
Speaker 13: that run in the playoffs and then they want you know,

687
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 13: they probably shockedkobeh probably want four more whatever, a few more.

688
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 13: But I compare them to that team. You know, they

689
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 13: get to this one, they've maybe going to run with.

690
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,360
Speaker 13: They went four or five and six years like that.

691
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 9: Man.

692
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:03,280
Speaker 13: But I do all my Dodgers, all the Dodger homies

693
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,759
Speaker 13: out there, and hey man, it's our to win. Is

694
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,839
Speaker 13: I don't see Seattle Toronto being this team to beat

695
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 13: at Rose the start of two days earlier. They're two earlier.

696
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 13: But amen, maybe not to be stopping this season. We're

697
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 13: gonna get it, man. So we're back to back. So

698
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 13: that's all I got, man, I'm good. Neither say keep

699
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:21,359
Speaker 13: up to good work too, Homi doing good out there,

700
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 13: Keep up to good work.

701
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 2: Thank you, Oscar, I appreciate the encouragement. Eight six six

702
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 2: ninety eighty seven two five seventy is the phone number.

703
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 2: And look, we are looking at possibly the greatest teams

704
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:38,399
Speaker 2: in Dodger franchise history last year and this year's team

705
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 2: with a lot of the same players that will be

706
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 2: back for a reunion. If they can win this championship,

707
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:48,720
Speaker 2: they would go down as the greatest teams in Dodger

708
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 2: history to win back to back championships. And look, I'm

709
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:57,279
Speaker 2: not going to say they're sweeping Seattle or Toronto, but

710
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 2: if somehow, some way they do, they would join the

711
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 2: five White Sox and the ninety nine Yankees for only

712
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 2: losing one game in the postseason. Those teams were eleven

713
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 2: and one the Big Red Machine in nineteen seventy six,

714
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:16,720
Speaker 2: where it was win your division and then be able

715
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:22,240
Speaker 2: to head to the LCS and then the World Series.

716
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 2: They were undefeated seven to zero. But this team would

717
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:29,400
Speaker 2: have the most postseason wins to get to a championship

718
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 2: with them having to play that extra Wildcard round and

719
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 2: sweeping those two games against against the Reds. Eight six

720
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:41,720
Speaker 2: six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number.

721
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,760
Speaker 2: Let's go out to Todd and Calabasas, who's been holding

722
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 2: for a while. Hi, Todd, you're on Dodger Talk.

723
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 6: Okay, So as a great a to BA Dodgers fan,

724
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 6: they are very healthy right now. Everybody's firing on full cylinders.

725
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:57,359
Speaker 6: The one star who wasn't had an incredible game tonight

726
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,360
Speaker 6: like we've never seen before. The only thing I'm worried abuse.

727
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 6: I think they're going to blow through the World Series

728
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 6: and kill whoever makes it through. I think it's be

729
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 6: four zero, four to one something like that. So if

730
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,760
Speaker 6: they do that, is this going to cause a problem

731
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:12,360
Speaker 6: in twenty twenty seven when there's the labor talks And

732
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:15,839
Speaker 6: this season, especially this postseason, might be cited as an

733
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:18,359
Speaker 6: example as to why there needs to be a salary cap.

734
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 2: I read Jeff Passing's story as well, and if that's

735
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 2: the reality around baseball, it's ridiculous. And look, was anybody

736
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 2: talking about that when the Yankees won three in a

737
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 2: row in ninety eight, ninety nine, and two thousand. Maybe

738
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 2: they tweak the luxury tax and you know, just some

739
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 2: of the penalties of going over the luxury tax since then.

740
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 2: But the Dodgers are good for baseball. I'm sorry the Dodgers,

741
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:52,360
Speaker 2: the Yankees, the Red Sox, the Cubs. When they're winning,

742
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:56,919
Speaker 2: it's good for baseball. Do you really believe people would

743
00:44:56,960 --> 00:45:00,040
Speaker 2: have interest in the World Series if Milwaukee and I

744
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:01,839
Speaker 2: played in the World Series this year?

745
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 18: Todd, Well, obviously, the Dodgers, I think, you know, I

746
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 18: agree with you.

747
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:08,959
Speaker 6: They're good for baseball, and I love watching this team.

748
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:10,919
Speaker 6: And of course in the twenty tens, when they weren't

749
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 6: winning World Series, they weren't spending as much money as

750
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 6: they could have. In fact, it was disappointing to me

751
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:17,279
Speaker 6: that they didn't spend as much as they could and

752
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 6: they were succeeding on the backs of a lot of

753
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:20,919
Speaker 6: players who did not cost very much at all, guys

754
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 6: like Max Munsey. So I don't feel guilty at all

755
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:25,880
Speaker 6: as odderstand that they are doing as well as they are.

756
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:28,919
Speaker 6: Just my uh, I'm just concerned of what might happen

757
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 6: in the future. That's the one downside to them just

758
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:34,800
Speaker 6: blowing through the postseason here and going something like, yeah, they're.

759
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 2: Gonna try to They're going to try to change the

760
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 2: rules to make it more difficult for the Dodgers to succeed.

761
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 2: But here's the catch. They have the most unique player

762
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:49,320
Speaker 2: with the most unique contract. There's nothing anybody can do

763
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 2: to change the fact that Shoho Tani structor structured his

764
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 2: contract in a way that allows the Dodgers to go

765
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:02,319
Speaker 2: out and sign other players because he's only making two

766
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:07,879
Speaker 2: million dollars. That's the reality of what's on the books. Yes,

767
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,919
Speaker 2: the Dodgers do have to pay him, and they will,

768
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 2: but it's the third and right now. The reality is

769
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 2: it's two million dollars on the books. There is nothing

770
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 2: anybody can do to change that contract. So that's what

771
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:28,319
Speaker 2: makes it so unique. And the reality is the Angels

772
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 2: could have had this contract structure, they could have had

773
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:36,399
Speaker 2: that player, and they passed on it. So there's nothing

774
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 2: anybody can do to change the uniqueness of the construction

775
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 2: of this team because of that player. Thank you for

776
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:52,719
Speaker 2: the phone call, Todd. It's so ridiculous. It's so ridiculous.

777
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:56,799
Speaker 2: There are so many other teams that spend a lot

778
00:46:56,840 --> 00:47:01,719
Speaker 2: of money that have high payrolls. The Mets did it

779
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 2: work for them? It did not. There was a time

780
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:08,319
Speaker 2: where we had the Diamondbacks and Rangers. Not so long ago,

781
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 2: the Cardinals were going to the World Series the Dodgers

782
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 2: were not there. This is just a new narrative to

783
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 2: try to, I guess, to warn people that there may

784
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 2: be some changes to try to alter the way the

785
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:34,320
Speaker 2: game is played and structured for big market teams. But

786
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 2: if baseball is smart, you're not going to change anything.

787
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 2: You want these teams to be good. You want these

788
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 2: jewel franchises to be good because it brings interest to

789
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 2: the game. It's going to be bring interest to the

790
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 2: World Series again that the best team in baseball has

791
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:59,439
Speaker 2: the best player and a transcendent player like sho Hao

792
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:03,800
Speaker 2: Tani on its biggest stage. Eight six six nine eight seven,

Speaker 2: a moment. We'll hear from Mookie Betts, but first.

829
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 5: It's time to go around the horn with Jose Mota.

830
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:40,920
Speaker 2: Jose Mota has broadcast every single one as show Haled

831
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:45,920
Speaker 2: Tawi's games in Major League Baseball. Jose, did you believe

832
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:47,920
Speaker 2: he had this in him tonight?

833
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:51,040
Speaker 16: Yes?

834
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:54,839
Speaker 18: And no no, because I mean after Miami, you go, wow,

835
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 18: is there more in that tank? You know, six for

836
00:50:57,280 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 18: six and three home runs Anton Rbi and you go,

837
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:03,359
Speaker 18: But it's just amazing to me what he does. It's

838
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:06,759
Speaker 18: just what he does is just not human. And but

839
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:09,400
Speaker 18: for show, I know one thing too is and his

840
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 18: mind was more actually based on pitching tonight, Dave. And

841
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:15,800
Speaker 18: you're right about the comments earlier, as Freddie Freeman told you,

842
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 18: because I know he did not want to be the

843
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:22,880
Speaker 18: missing link or the weakest link in this rotation. So

844
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 18: think about that in a way, okay, in a way,

845
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:29,399
Speaker 18: the pitching side kind of off senses his hitting side

846
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:31,640
Speaker 18: and takes some pressure off of that because he comes

847
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 18: to stress on one thing. It's not just about the

848
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 18: at paths. It's about the guys on the mound in

849
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 18: front of me. Snell Yamamoto last had done a great job.

850
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 18: I need to do the same thing. And by the

851
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:44,239
Speaker 18: way too, I'm not going to be upstage, so I

852
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 18: can also do about So how about three home runs?

853
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:47,480
Speaker 18: Not surprised?

854
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:52,439
Speaker 2: I mean which home run? Well? Number one? We talked

855
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:54,880
Speaker 2: about this when Schworber hit that home run off of

856
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:59,200
Speaker 2: Yamamoto in the NLDS that you remember seeing Willie Stargel

857
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:02,920
Speaker 2: doing and your dad remembered that as well. I mean

858
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:05,880
Speaker 2: that one when it goes over the pavilion. You have

859
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:08,440
Speaker 2: to take a double take, don't you that it actually

860
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 2: cleared that roof? Did you? Could you see it clean?

861
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 2: That it went over the roof.

862
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:17,239
Speaker 18: I'd be lying to you what I knew was would

863
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:20,359
Speaker 18: not land with the fans, and I just my call

864
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 18: was pretty much, where's this gonna land? And after that,

865
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:26,840
Speaker 18: I'm like it covered everything. It just went over everything.

866
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:30,600
Speaker 18: It's just where's the baseball? And to have that type

867
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:33,279
Speaker 18: of leverage on that to a pitch eighty nine down

868
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:35,359
Speaker 18: an end with a smooth swing. By the way, where

869
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 18: as you and I have talked to me Moore about

870
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:40,040
Speaker 18: he brought a different club today and was it the

871
00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:42,440
Speaker 18: big club or you know, the driver, it was a

872
00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 18: little three wood that he was able to go out

873
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:47,120
Speaker 18: there and just put the best swings together, compacted and

874
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:49,719
Speaker 18: hit the ball with such authority. But my goodness, so

875
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:52,160
Speaker 18: you had that top of backspin on a ball like that.

876
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 18: It's just amazing and just continues to show us this

877
00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:59,279
Speaker 18: guy is truly an absolute beast when it comes down

878
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:01,960
Speaker 18: to coming on the field under the big lights.

879
00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:05,840
Speaker 2: Jose Mode is joining us after the Dodgers sweep the

880
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:10,320
Speaker 2: Brewers in the NLCS and are headed to the World Series.

881
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 2: When you look at this rotation, Jose, the way all

882
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 2: four of these guys are pitching at the right time.

883
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:22,000
Speaker 2: Have you ever seen a rotation hit on all cylinders

884
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:25,440
Speaker 2: the way these four guys are doing at the right time.

885
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:29,480
Speaker 18: At least in my broadcasting days. No, even as a fan,

886
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 18: I never saw that. And you were talking about the

887
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 18: comparisons with John Spoltzen. I mean, what the difference with

888
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 18: those guys is they did it for a very long time,

889
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 18: you know, and that's that's you good appreciate. But now

890
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 18: consider that Molta I never made more than twenty six

891
00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:46,880
Speaker 18: stars in Japan. He made thirty this year. He was

892
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:48,960
Speaker 18: hurt last year, he was, you know, kind of a

893
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:52,080
Speaker 18: question mark going to last postseason. He answered the belt right.

894
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:54,440
Speaker 13: And then when you.

895
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:58,720
Speaker 18: Consider the way the way the Dodgers treated these injuries,

896
00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:02,759
Speaker 18: it's also fascinating because they're never pushed to say this

897
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:05,719
Speaker 18: guy needs to be back on this date for us to.

898
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:06,240
Speaker 2: Have a chance.

899
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 18: It was pretty much we believe in our depth, Dave Roberts.

900
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:13,320
Speaker 18: Medical staff coaches understand along with the minor league staff

901
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:15,720
Speaker 18: what they needed to bring in to plug those holes.

902
00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:18,880
Speaker 18: Now the young players get an opportunity while the other

903
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:21,879
Speaker 18: ones wait. Now, when the younger players respond, it makes

904
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 18: it a lot easier for the guys that are coming

905
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:25,840
Speaker 18: back to say I don't need to be rushed or

906
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:27,920
Speaker 18: I don't need to push it, because at least the

907
00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:30,360
Speaker 18: team's maintaining their position right now. So, David, it's just

908
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:32,200
Speaker 18: a combination of things that the Dodgers have found a

909
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:35,280
Speaker 18: formula for that. I know is it's envy sometimes around baseball,

910
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:38,440
Speaker 18: and it's not based only a money decisions or resources.

911
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:42,480
Speaker 18: It's people with hearts that understand that the game is

912
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 18: still being played, not by robots or machines or on

913
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:47,719
Speaker 18: a computer or laptop, is being played by human beings

914
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:50,560
Speaker 18: and even insect those human beings. And now this rotation

915
00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:53,200
Speaker 18: the way you see it, it's understanding where these human

916
00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 18: beings were, what they needed to do in order to

917
00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 18: be stronger and pushing back a little bit more because

918
00:54:58,000 --> 00:54:59,480
Speaker 18: you know at some point you're going to be the

919
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:00,279
Speaker 18: best team matter what.

920
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:03,919
Speaker 2: All right, Jose Motor, Let's look ahead here. The World

921
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:08,320
Speaker 2: Series Game one will not begin until a week from tonight,

922
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:11,920
Speaker 2: whether it's here in la or in Canada in Toronto.

923
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:16,080
Speaker 2: What do you think about how these this next week

924
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 2: works for the Dodgers or works against the Dodgers having

925
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:25,520
Speaker 2: this much of a layoff between series. They went from

926
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:28,520
Speaker 2: the regular season into the Wildcard series, which we all

927
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:31,560
Speaker 2: agreed was the best for this team. How about now

928
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:32,680
Speaker 2: having a week off.

929
00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:36,239
Speaker 18: I think the little reset comes at a right time

930
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:40,840
Speaker 18: because this is a team that cannot have this happened

931
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:45,680
Speaker 18: Dave in my opinion, early in the postseason, this team

932
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:48,319
Speaker 18: continued and they needed to continue to play to find

933
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:51,480
Speaker 18: this identity I have today. This doesn't leave you. You

934
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:54,200
Speaker 18: know who you are, you know what's coming. You know

935
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:56,680
Speaker 18: you're the last team standing in the National League. You

936
00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 18: know the opponents that are coming, and you got to

937
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:01,400
Speaker 18: go out and just keep your mind set and focus

938
00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 18: and understand what your body needs at this point is

939
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 18: not a little extra hitting. It's just to maintain where

940
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:10,240
Speaker 18: you are. But there's nothing compared to when the bell rings,

941
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:13,560
Speaker 18: it's the World Series. Competences are going to take over.

942
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:15,120
Speaker 18: Even though you might be auto a little bit more

943
00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 18: timing ones and things like that. This team knows and

944
00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:19,520
Speaker 18: they understand when needs get ready because they're full of

945
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:22,759
Speaker 18: veterans and young players that really feed off of each

946
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:25,440
Speaker 18: other and not basing only on what's happening now, but

947
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:27,239
Speaker 18: also what's going to happen in the future, which is

948
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:29,319
Speaker 18: be ready when the bill rings. Because the other teams,

949
00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:30,880
Speaker 18: I'm gonna care whether you off or not.

950
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:34,600
Speaker 2: Who do you believe matches the best against the Dodgers.

951
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:36,640
Speaker 2: Is it the Blue Jays or the Mariners.

952
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:41,400
Speaker 18: They just had a great series against the Mariners, and

953
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:44,720
Speaker 18: you know that could be a little deceiving. I would

954
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:47,239
Speaker 18: say they match up best against the Mariners because of

955
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:50,279
Speaker 18: Toronto and what they can do. Obviously, Mariners have very

956
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:52,480
Speaker 18: good pitching. But these two teams, you got to respect

957
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 18: the way that they responded here. Nobody expect their Mariners

958
00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:57,239
Speaker 18: to be out there and keep banging the ball the

959
00:56:57,280 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 18: way they are right now. But you know what Dave

960
00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:02,440
Speaker 18: as I said, was since the Mets back then, whoever comes,

961
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:04,200
Speaker 18: I know the Dodgers will have an answer for him,

962
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 18: and I hope that it becomes one of the most

963
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:08,359
Speaker 18: globally watched World Series ever.

964
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 2: That would be amazing. They got the best player on

965
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:15,000
Speaker 2: the planet on the biggest stage. That is only good

966
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:20,000
Speaker 2: for the game and the popularity of baseball. Jose, awesome night.

967
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 2: Great to have you back out here again and be

968
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:24,920
Speaker 2: able to be on this ride with us. And we'll

Speaker 2: see you a week from tonight Game one of the

970
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:28,280
Speaker 2: World Series.

971
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:36,120
Speaker 18: Time tonight. Sah yo, not a baby, no doubt, there

972
00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:36,560
Speaker 18: it goes.

973
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 2: Jose Mota part of the Dodgers Spanish radio broadcast. All

974
00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 2: three home runs right there in English and in Spanish,

975
00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 2: and of course NHK Japanese being broadcast back to Tokyo, Japan.

976
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:53,560
Speaker 2: Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is

977
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:55,840
Speaker 2: the phone number. Let's go out to the phones again.

978
00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:59,600
Speaker 2: Ira Craig in Long Beach. You're on Dodger Talk with

979
00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:00,440
Speaker 2: Dave Advt.

980
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:04,440
Speaker 22: Say how you doing, Craig, Davy, I'm doing great, man,

981
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:08,880
Speaker 22: I am doing great. The game, man, just history made.

982
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:11,080
Speaker 22: I mean, we're going to look back at this. People

983
00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:13,880
Speaker 22: are going to look back at this in twenty thirty

984
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:21,080
Speaker 22: fifty years and say, you know, that was gained.

985
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:21,640
Speaker 3: For the eighties.

986
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:26,800
Speaker 23: I mean, the guys just fu stud I mean that

987
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:30,800
Speaker 23: home runs we did out of the park. You know,

988
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:32,920
Speaker 23: Willie Stargule, he did it twice.

989
00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:37,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's right. But you know, after all that,

990
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:42,760
Speaker 2: I feel like the most impressive part of this most

991
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:47,160
Speaker 2: impressive performance from Otani was the fact that he strikes

992
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 2: out the side in the first inning and then leads

993
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:53,400
Speaker 2: off the bottom of the first inning with a home run.

994
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:59,240
Speaker 2: To me, that is just as impressive as anything we saw,

995
00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 2: including him hitting the ball out of the ballpark. This

996
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:06,320
Speaker 2: guy just struck out the side and then leads off,

997
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:10,720
Speaker 2: puts on his gear and homers. I mean to me,

998
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:15,200
Speaker 2: that was the most impressive part of just the two

999
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:18,800
Speaker 2: way player and sensation that he is. Let's go out

1000
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:24,080
Speaker 2: to Indianapolis, Indiana. Jack listening on the iHeartRadio app. You're

1001
00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:27,720
Speaker 2: on Dodger Talk. How you doing, Jack, I'm doing great.

1002
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:29,000
Speaker 13: Thank you for taking my call.

1003
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:33,479
Speaker 18: I listened to you on the Tim Conway show, Ding Dong.

1004
00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:35,040
Speaker 2: Jack appreciate that.

1005
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:37,600
Speaker 13: Yeah, a big fan.

1006
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:41,440
Speaker 11: Hey reiterate what you said earlier.

1007
00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:43,840
Speaker 18: Dave Roberts to be the manager of Dodgers as long

1008
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:45,120
Speaker 18: as he wants job.

1009
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:50,680
Speaker 2: Right. Nobody seen when the Dodgers win, Nobody calls and says,

1010
00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:54,240
Speaker 2: you know what, Dave Roberts. He really did a great

1011
00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:57,240
Speaker 2: job tonight. He really did a great job this series.

1012
00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 2: All I hear is his complaints about Dave Roberts. At

1013
01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:06,040
Speaker 2: some point you have to concede he's doing something right

1014
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:08,880
Speaker 2: and he's a big part of the Dodgers' success.

1015
01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:14,360
Speaker 18: Yeah, and the Dodgers had a long history of solid managers,

1016
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:15,760
Speaker 18: and he's fit right in.

1017
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:18,800
Speaker 13: With the names of Austin and Lasorda and those guys.

1018
01:00:19,240 --> 01:00:21,360
Speaker 2: Well, his name is right there with those two. With

1019
01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:25,200
Speaker 2: the success he said, no doubt. Thanks for listening, Jack,

1020
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:30,400
Speaker 2: appreciate it. Let's go back out across the country to Tennessee. Robert,

1021
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:32,919
Speaker 2: thanks a lot for being patient. You're on Dodger Talk.

1022
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:37,880
Speaker 11: Oh thanks Dave, third time calling in. Appreciate you taking

1023
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 11: the call. The you know, I gotta say, regardless of

1024
01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:50,920
Speaker 11: o'tawne's personal performance and magical as it was, and I've

1025
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:54,640
Speaker 11: been a Dodger fan for fifty five years, never seen

1026
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:59,600
Speaker 11: anything like this in baseball history. If there was a

1027
01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:04,439
Speaker 11: way to actually give the MVP Award, I would want

1028
01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:08,640
Speaker 11: to give it to the entire team, the coaching staff,

1029
01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:14,440
Speaker 11: I mean, the defense, what Munsey did, what Mooki did,

1030
01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:22,080
Speaker 11: that double play ball from Kiki today fantastic And whoever

1031
01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:28,439
Speaker 11: decided to have Otani take BP on the field.

1032
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:33,400
Speaker 2: That was I could tell you whose idea that was.

1033
01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:37,760
Speaker 2: It was sho Hey Otani's idea. I asked Freddy Freeman

1034
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:40,320
Speaker 2: before the game went. We were talking about a lot

1035
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:43,240
Speaker 2: of different things, and I was curious, when did you

1036
01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:45,680
Speaker 2: find out he was taking BP? He said. I ran

1037
01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:49,800
Speaker 2: into Otani and he said, I'm taking BP because I'm

1038
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:53,800
Speaker 2: not very good at baseball jokingly right there. So, yeah,

1039
01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:58,360
Speaker 2: it was Otani's idea to take batting practice on the field.

1040
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:04,880
Speaker 11: Well, that was miraculous because it obviously changed up everything.

1041
01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:09,760
Speaker 11: And you know, I'm with you. Roberts needs a lot

1042
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:13,120
Speaker 11: of credit. And somebody else that doesn't get enough mentioning

1043
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:17,800
Speaker 11: credit is Mark Pryor. He is a fantastic pitching coach.

1044
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:19,400
Speaker 11: He really knows these guys.

1045
01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:25,760
Speaker 2: He has to juggle so many different personalities and high

1046
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:32,840
Speaker 2: maintenance schedules with Sasaki, with Otani, with Yamamoto. He really is.

1047
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:37,520
Speaker 2: And Connor McGinnis are two of the most unsung heroes

1048
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:41,600
Speaker 2: on this coaching staff for sure. Thanks for the phone call, Robert,

1049
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:44,280
Speaker 2: appreciate you listening. Gotta move on. We got a full

1050
01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:47,880
Speaker 2: board of calls. People are still very excited about their

1051
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:51,320
Speaker 2: Dodgers headed back to the Fall Classic for a second

1052
01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:55,080
Speaker 2: consecutive year. How could you not be. The Dodgers not

1053
01:02:55,240 --> 01:03:00,840
Speaker 2: only have dominated the postseason by only lose one game.

1054
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:02,920
Speaker 2: Let's go through it. They beat the Reds in the

1055
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:06,880
Speaker 2: Wildcard Series two games here at Dodger Stadium. They go

1056
01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:11,360
Speaker 2: to Philadelphia, win the first two games on the road,

1057
01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:15,600
Speaker 2: and then dispatch of the Phillies in four games. And

1058
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:19,480
Speaker 2: here they are in the NLCS, going up against the

1059
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:24,200
Speaker 2: team with the best regular season record, and the number

1060
01:03:24,280 --> 01:03:27,800
Speaker 2: one seed in the National League postseason. They go to

1061
01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:32,120
Speaker 2: Milwaukee and then beat them twice in their own house

1062
01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:36,680
Speaker 2: to set up this sweep. And after the Brewers couldn't

1063
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:40,640
Speaker 2: win a game with the Shadows yesterday and Jacob Mizarowski

1064
01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:45,320
Speaker 2: on the mound, you knew today was a formality. You

1065
01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:48,640
Speaker 2: knew Otani was going to come out at the very

1066
01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:52,640
Speaker 2: least and put up a zero for five or six innings.

1067
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:56,440
Speaker 2: But for him to pitch six scoreless innings, have ten

1068
01:03:56,520 --> 01:04:00,760
Speaker 2: strikeouts and allow just one hit and then hit three

1069
01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:05,840
Speaker 2: home runs. I mean, this guy went from everybody you

1070
01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:09,800
Speaker 2: know taking shots at him for not being a good

1071
01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:15,520
Speaker 2: hitter in this year's postseason to the NLCSMVP. I had

1072
01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:21,320
Speaker 2: a vote for the NLCSMVP. I was leaning towards Snell

1073
01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:25,360
Speaker 2: Zilla before today. You know, there really was no clear

1074
01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:28,640
Speaker 2: cut guy. You might have said, split it up between

1075
01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:32,560
Speaker 2: Snell and Yamamoto, But then you have a performance like

1076
01:04:32,720 --> 01:04:36,120
Speaker 2: this in a game that sent you to the World Series.

1077
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:40,880
Speaker 2: After yesterday's triple, there's just nobody that can compete with

1078
01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:44,040
Speaker 2: this type of player. When he hits three home runs

1079
01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:48,480
Speaker 2: and strikes out ten and six shutty, come on, it's

1080
01:04:48,640 --> 01:04:53,040
Speaker 2: just another world. It's video game stuff. Like Rick Monday suggested,

1081
01:04:53,520 --> 01:04:56,760
Speaker 2: let's go out to Culver City, a very loyal Dodger

1082
01:04:56,880 --> 01:05:00,440
Speaker 2: fan who never lost faith, the one and only Kevin

1083
01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:01,720
Speaker 2: in Culver City.

1084
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:06,280
Speaker 3: How you doing, Kevin, David, my man, let me tell

1085
01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:07,520
Speaker 3: you something you knew.

1086
01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:09,600
Speaker 20: I was always calling this show trying to get Blake

1087
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:13,120
Speaker 20: snail Zilla here. That's your guy. That was a huge

1088
01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:16,240
Speaker 20: effort performance, he had said in the tone. Remember that

1089
01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:19,400
Speaker 20: Brewers team scored seven runs against the Cubs in one inning.

1090
01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:23,560
Speaker 20: They were on fire, and he set them down and

1091
01:05:23,720 --> 01:05:25,680
Speaker 20: he just put the fear in them that they couldn't

1092
01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:29,240
Speaker 20: hit our pitching staff. Now, let me say something about

1093
01:05:29,280 --> 01:05:33,200
Speaker 20: this man, Showy Showtime Otani with the man Magic Johnson

1094
01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:35,760
Speaker 20: there watching the game tonight. This was one of the

1095
01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:40,480
Speaker 20: best epic performances not only in baseball history, but sports history,

1096
01:05:40,560 --> 01:05:43,920
Speaker 20: sports playoff history. Tonight, this was Kobe and Shaky out

1097
01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:46,520
Speaker 20: of youth against Portland in Game seven. It had that

1098
01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:50,760
Speaker 20: Showtime luster. Every home run, the fans were elevated. It

1099
01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:52,680
Speaker 20: was on that level, that magnitude.

1100
01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:54,080
Speaker 13: And let me tell you something.

1101
01:05:54,320 --> 01:05:55,160
Speaker 12: You could just feel it.

1102
01:05:55,240 --> 01:05:57,000
Speaker 20: You can see that, you can see that the start

1103
01:05:57,080 --> 01:05:59,280
Speaker 20: them in it in that home run. Now, what Shoy

1104
01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:02,360
Speaker 20: did was you're talking about three home runs after intent

1105
01:06:02,480 --> 01:06:03,720
Speaker 20: strike outs in one game.

1106
01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:05,280
Speaker 3: That is legendary.

1107
01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:09,840
Speaker 20: Dave Roberts challenging Phil Jackson, pat Riley, Yes, this was

1108
01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:12,880
Speaker 20: showtime and Magic will tell you the same thing. And

1109
01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:15,439
Speaker 20: I'm gonna tell you another thing too. This man showing

1110
01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:18,920
Speaker 20: a showtime Otani. I put him on the Mount Rushmore

1111
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:22,840
Speaker 20: with Kobe and Magic in this town, in Kareem and Shack.

1112
01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:24,640
Speaker 20: I put him up there because.

1113
01:06:24,360 --> 01:06:25,280
Speaker 13: I knew he would deliver.

1114
01:06:25,680 --> 01:06:26,920
Speaker 3: And that man delivered.

1115
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:29,160
Speaker 20: When they talk about the documentary of the back to

1116
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:32,200
Speaker 20: Back Dodgers, they're gonna talk about him taking bad and practice.

1117
01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:34,280
Speaker 20: But on the field, you're gonna be a part of that.

1118
01:06:34,480 --> 01:06:37,760
Speaker 20: David and this team, we're battle tested. If you want

1119
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:39,960
Speaker 20: to play Seattle will play them. It's gonna play Toronto,

1120
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:42,280
Speaker 20: will play them. Because nobody's gonna have the will to

1121
01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:44,560
Speaker 20: win this world series like we will because we are

1122
01:06:44,640 --> 01:06:47,040
Speaker 20: built for this. And in the words of Magic Johnson,

1123
01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:48,360
Speaker 20: back to back.

1124
01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:51,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, go Dodgers, love it.

1125
01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:53,880
Speaker 2: Kevin, thank you for the phone call. Couldnt in the

1126
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:57,360
Speaker 2: half said it better myself? Uh yeah, I agree with you.

1127
01:06:57,560 --> 01:07:02,440
Speaker 2: This is one of those games in an iconic career

1128
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:06,680
Speaker 2: with an iconic player in Sho Heotani. And if you

1129
01:07:06,760 --> 01:07:10,080
Speaker 2: remember those Shaq and Kobe teams when they won their

1130
01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:14,240
Speaker 2: second straight championship, they only lost one playoff game, and

1131
01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:18,680
Speaker 2: right now these Dodgers have only lost one playoff game.

1132
01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:22,120
Speaker 2: Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is

1133
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:25,880
Speaker 2: the phone number. Can't forget about Mookie Betts. Mookie Betts

1134
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:29,600
Speaker 2: has been a big part of the Dodgers' run since

1135
01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:33,600
Speaker 2: the beginning of September. Remember his season, where it started

1136
01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:36,880
Speaker 2: and where it's at right now. He changed his entire

1137
01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:40,120
Speaker 2: season because he never gave up on his season and

1138
01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:43,760
Speaker 2: he knew the Dodgers would be playing deep into October

1139
01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:47,160
Speaker 2: and they needed him to turn it around. Had a

1140
01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:51,240
Speaker 2: chance to catch up with Marcus Linn Betts in the celebration.

1141
01:07:52,080 --> 01:07:54,080
Speaker 2: How proud are you of the season you've had and

1142
01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:56,840
Speaker 2: the scrup has had so far? You know the boys,

1143
01:07:56,880 --> 01:07:57,760
Speaker 2: that player Rady.

1144
01:07:58,360 --> 01:08:00,160
Speaker 7: You know, I'm just proud that I was the wan

1145
01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:03,600
Speaker 7: to help help the boys as a team.

1146
01:08:03,760 --> 01:08:08,600
Speaker 2: You know, we had our ups in our nails and yeah,

1147
01:08:09,960 --> 01:08:11,880
Speaker 2: you're a little too dry right now, Mookie.

1148
01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:15,480
Speaker 7: You know everybody we're playing good at the right time,

1149
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:16,880
Speaker 7: and but we still have four more.

01:08:41,960 --> 01:08:43,040
Speaker 4: back championships.

1160
01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:46,240
Speaker 2: Can you taste it that it's that close? I mean yeah,

1161
01:08:46,360 --> 01:08:48,360
Speaker 2: I mean you can taste it. But you got to

1162
01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:49,880
Speaker 2: make sure we stay hungry, you know, make sure we

1163
01:08:49,960 --> 01:08:52,920
Speaker 2: stay hungry, rest up for this week, and be ready

1164
01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:55,200
Speaker 2: to go. Do you enjoy this? Absolutely?

Speaker 2: It never gets old. Thanks Marky, Pooky, Marcus Hooky, call

1167
01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:02,000
Speaker 2: of the whatever you want to collident about it, I'll

1168
01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:03,280
Speaker 2: call you mtang.

1169
01:09:05,880 --> 01:09:06,080
Speaker 15: Hey.

1170
01:09:06,160 --> 01:09:09,680
Speaker 2: That's what's special about this Dodger team. Otani could be

1171
01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:13,120
Speaker 2: that guy for the Dodgers. It could be Freddy Freeman.

1172
01:09:13,280 --> 01:09:16,320
Speaker 2: On another night, it could be Mookie Betts. All of

1173
01:09:16,360 --> 01:09:20,519
Speaker 2: these guys are capable of having huge impact on games,

1174
01:09:21,320 --> 01:09:24,600
Speaker 2: obviously not like this one tonight. But you know, I

1175
01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:27,720
Speaker 2: have a feeling that even Mookie Betts kind of was

1176
01:09:27,800 --> 01:09:31,560
Speaker 2: sending out a message challenging Otani last night when he

1177
01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:34,840
Speaker 2: was saying, we're doing this without Jordan's showing up. And

1178
01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:39,000
Speaker 2: I'm sure Otani heard that as well, because after Mookie

1179
01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:42,640
Speaker 2: stopped with us, he went on to the national television

1180
01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:46,519
Speaker 2: set with Pedro Martinez and the crew of TBS and

1181
01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:50,479
Speaker 2: he said it again. You're telling me that Otani did

1182
01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:53,120
Speaker 2: not see that, and he did not want to let

1183
01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:57,360
Speaker 2: his teammates down. He has such great accountability to his teammates,

1184
01:09:57,400 --> 01:10:00,759
Speaker 2: more than anybody else, and he showed up and showed

1185
01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:04,160
Speaker 2: out for them. Tonight. Eight sixty six nine seven two

1186
01:10:04,320 --> 01:10:07,519
Speaker 2: five seventy is the phone number. The Dodgers are on

1187
01:10:07,720 --> 01:10:10,519
Speaker 2: their way back to the Fall Classic. Let's get some

1188
01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:14,920
Speaker 2: divine intervention again, Father Gary in Burbank, How you doing,

1189
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:19,479
Speaker 2: Father Gary? The Dodgers delivered, and I'm sure Broadway is

1190
01:10:19,680 --> 01:10:20,439
Speaker 2: bright tonight.

1191
01:10:22,200 --> 01:10:28,040
Speaker 17: Mister Vasa, we got a little watch party going over there.

1192
01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:28,320
Speaker 15: Day.

1193
01:10:28,680 --> 01:10:37,160
Speaker 17: Dodger, Dodger, Dave, Dave, Dave, listen real quick, I'm with

1194
01:10:37,280 --> 01:10:40,000
Speaker 17: my buddy, shir Uh, I want to say something. I

1195
01:10:40,439 --> 01:10:41,360
Speaker 17: saw something tonight that.

1196
01:10:41,400 --> 01:10:43,960
Speaker 8: We've never seen before. There's something that we're never going

1197
01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:45,040
Speaker 8: to ever ever see.

1198
01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:47,120
Speaker 17: And if the guy can make this happen, then I'll

1199
01:10:47,160 --> 01:10:49,880
Speaker 17: be really impressed. But see show Hail Tani pitched to

1200
01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:52,639
Speaker 17: show Hailkhani. That would be an amazing thing to see.

1201
01:10:54,200 --> 01:10:56,080
Speaker 2: I don't I don't know if he could do that

1202
01:10:56,240 --> 01:10:59,920
Speaker 2: in the simulator machine that they have in the die

1203
01:11:00,160 --> 01:11:02,680
Speaker 2: your batting cage. That's as close as he'll get to

1204
01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:03,839
Speaker 2: hitting off himself.

1205
01:11:05,360 --> 01:11:05,559
Speaker 16: Dave.

1206
01:11:05,640 --> 01:11:07,080
Speaker 17: I think the man can walk on water.

1207
01:11:07,520 --> 01:11:08,920
Speaker 8: I would know, let's see.

1208
01:11:09,080 --> 01:11:12,280
Speaker 2: All right, Wow, that says a lot from you, father Gary.

1209
01:11:12,680 --> 01:11:14,600
Speaker 8: Okay, all right, take care of this. I had my

1210
01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:15,160
Speaker 8: boys for me.

1211
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:18,240
Speaker 2: All right, all right, boys, see you later. Have a

1212
01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:18,760
Speaker 2: good time.

1213
01:11:18,840 --> 01:11:19,080
Speaker 13: Wow.

1214
01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:22,760
Speaker 2: A priest saying that Otani can walk on water, how

1215
01:11:22,800 --> 01:11:25,080
Speaker 2: about that? That'll do it for us. I think that

1216
01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:27,840
Speaker 2: that's how we walk it off right there. It was

1217
01:11:27,880 --> 01:11:31,559
Speaker 2: an incredible night, a historical night, one of those games

1218
01:11:31,640 --> 01:11:34,840
Speaker 2: that if you were listening, you'll never forget where you

1219
01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:37,040
Speaker 2: were when you were listening. If you were here at

1220
01:11:37,080 --> 01:11:40,240
Speaker 2: the stadium tonight, you'll never forget it. And if you're

1221
01:11:40,280 --> 01:11:43,720
Speaker 2: at home watching it, You'll never forget who you were

1222
01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:47,920
Speaker 2: with watching that game. And something I'll never forget. It's

1223
01:11:48,680 --> 01:11:52,000
Speaker 2: one of those surreal games that you can't believe took place.

1224
01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:56,920
Speaker 2: One man striking out ten batters and six scoreless innings

1225
01:11:56,960 --> 01:11:59,839
Speaker 2: and then hitting three home runs to send the Dodgers

1226
01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:04,400
Speaker 2: the World Series and a clinching game. Just unreal. And

1227
01:12:05,120 --> 01:12:08,519
Speaker 2: these four starting pitchers are going to go down in

1228
01:12:08,680 --> 01:12:13,479
Speaker 2: history as the greatest four man rotation in Dodger playoff

1229
01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:18,000
Speaker 2: history if they can get the job done. Jobs not finished.

1230
01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:20,920
Speaker 2: They got four more wins to go. Game one of

1231
01:12:20,960 --> 01:12:24,960
Speaker 2: the World Series, whether it's Toronto or Seattle, will be

1232
01:12:25,040 --> 01:12:28,120
Speaker 2: a week from tonight. We will have it for you

1233
01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:32,679
Speaker 2: exclusively on Dodgers Radio and five to seventy LA Sports.

1234
01:12:33,040 --> 01:12:36,160
Speaker 2: The Dodgers will have home field advantage if the Mariners

1235
01:12:36,240 --> 01:12:39,240
Speaker 2: can close it out. If somehow, some way the Blue

1236
01:12:39,320 --> 01:12:43,000
Speaker 2: Jays force Game seven and win that, then the Dodgers

1237
01:12:43,080 --> 01:12:45,840
Speaker 2: would not have home field advantage. They would open up

1238
01:12:45,920 --> 01:12:49,400
Speaker 2: in Toronto a week from tonight. So from my point

1239
01:12:49,400 --> 01:12:52,519
Speaker 2: of view, i am a Mariners fan. Let's have the

1240
01:12:52,600 --> 01:12:55,840
Speaker 2: Mariners come back all the way back to the West Coast.

1241
01:12:56,240 --> 01:12:58,920
Speaker 2: And open up at Dodgers Stadium for Game One of

1242
01:12:58,960 --> 01:13:03,640
Speaker 2: the World Series from tonight. Coming up next week, we

1243
01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:06,439
Speaker 2: will have Dodger talk shows for you. We'll have full
