1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: They say. The hardest thing in sports isn't winning a title.

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 2: It's hard to repeat seasons.

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 1: It's winning it again this yearning is.

4
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 3: Not trying to win a championship. They're trying to repeat.

5
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: It's October baseball for your world champion in La Dodger.

Speaker 4: is raining. Please please be careful as you make your

23
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 4: way out and about here on this Tuesday morning and

24
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 4: making your commute, two hands on the wheel, and your

25
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 4: radio right here on five seven ELA Sports. I am

26
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 4: Tim Kates, joined by Steve Sachs, Sax and Kate's and

27
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,919
Speaker 4: the am is the Dodgers up one game to nothing

28
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 4: in this best of seven NLCS. Coming up to the

29
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 4: Bob of the hour, Jose Mota will join us learn

30
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 4: from David Vesta in the eight o'clock hour. I'm just

31
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 4: sitting here watching replay diagnosis like the suppruter film of

32
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 4: this play in the fourth inning in which Max Munsey

33
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 4: hit into the double play tasker Hernandez did not tag

34
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 4: up properly at third base. And it's amazing to me

35
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 4: that the cutout in center field in Milwaukee that they've

36
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 4: bumped back, that ball's out any other place if they

37
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 4: don't have that cutout deep into center field. Okay, as

38
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 4: that is South Freelick in center field. The ball hits

39
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 4: off his and hits the yellow line in center field

40
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 4: there at American Family Field, it's two inches from going

41
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 4: over the wall, even despite hitting his glove first for

42
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 4: a grand slam for maximun Sea. And then just all

43
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 4: of that being said, I'm still just sitting here and

44
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 4: gasped how ta Oscar Hernandez got thrown out at home

45
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 4: from a guy in center field and a relay to

46
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 4: the shortstop or tees and get him at home?

47
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 2: How does that happen?

48
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know, I've never seen it. I mean,

49
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 5: you're four hundred feet away, four hundred feet away from

50
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 5: home plate. He's trying to gather himself after the ball

51
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 5: hits his glove hits the wall. He's got to make

52
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 5: a perfect throw to the relay man or tees. He's

53
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 5: got to make a perfect throw to home plate. And

54
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 5: they do. And I'm thinking, what is taking so long?

55
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 5: You could have ran backwards and made it to home plate.

56
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 5: I don't get it. I saw from the overview the

57
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 5: tag up or the attempted tag up, and.

58
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 2: He just was not in a rush, right.

59
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 5: Is just daunting to think that, you know, you could

60
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 5: just take so much times.

61
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 4: It's amazing that the base running was bad on multiple

62
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 4: accounts there from Will Smith at second base, who looked

63
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 4: more confused than anything and probably needed a little guidance

64
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 4: from the first base coach Chris Woodward, and of course

65
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 4: Dino Oebel is trying to deal with his own mess

66
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 4: there at third base and taoscar Hernandez. I don't know

67
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,119
Speaker 4: what he was yelling. I wish he was Mike Dupp.

68
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 4: I can only imagine what he was yelling him to

69
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 4: get back to tag up and what are you doing? No, no, yo,

70
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 4: Just kind of, you know, mass confusion there amongst everybody.

71
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 5: Man.

72
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 4: The Dodgers avoided disaster there with the bottom of the

73
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 4: fourth inning, the crowd back end, the game momentum clearly

74
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 4: in the Brewers favor. Things could have gone sideways for

75
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 4: the Dodgers. Stead at one, two three, lockdown, bottom of

76
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,119
Speaker 4: the fourth from Blake Smell just kind of a whole

77
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 4: hum bottom of the fourth inning. And how about his

78
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 4: effort last night calling his pitches on the pitch com

79
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 4: Steve just kind of all right, you know it's on

80
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 4: his belt buckle on his left side, all right, just

81
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 4: kind of my glove done.

82
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 2: All right, change up? What are we gonna throw right now?

83
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 5: About?

84
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 2: All right, let's go fastball here. He was anything he

85
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 2: called he was throwing for strikes.

86
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was crazy good. I mean, he was so calm.

87
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 5: I mean he was like he was like he was

88
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 5: in the backyard playing WoT the ball or something. He

89
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 5: didn't seem to be, you know, caught up in the moment.

90
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 5: That's a great thing about a seasoned professional like Blake

91
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 5: Snell is he's not going to get that's not going

92
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 5: to bother him. He's going to go at it very

93
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 5: business like. And I was very impressed with his demeanor.

94
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 5: He didn't let that bother him at all, and he

95
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 5: was fantastic. But you know, I wanted to say one

96
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 5: thing about that play too. There was so many different

97
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 5: things going on. If he looked around at the cameras

98
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 5: at the same time when that ball was hit, you

99
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 5: see Dave Roberts was on the phone calling people. You

100
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 5: had you had Dino Ebol screaming at ta Oscar Hernandez afterwards.

101
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 5: You had Freelick in center field after he made the play.

102
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 5: He was standing on the warning track with his arms

103
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 5: out like, what the hell just happened? He didn't know

104
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 5: what was going on. You had a fire drill running

105
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 5: all over the base, pass guy's pointing, guys running in

106
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 5: different directions. You had that going on. The only guy

107
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 5: that knew was going on was Contrast, the catcher.

108
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 2: He was a first place so then he ran down there.

109
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 5: Let me take care of this I'll go down there

110
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 5: and tag third on my own, so there's no more

111
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 5: confusion here. And he did, but there was like a

112
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 5: hundred different things going on at the same time.

113
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, Freelich said, he bobbled it, and he said all

114
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 4: he heard was to throw it towards Ease. And then

115
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 4: Ortiz says, all he heard was to throw it home

116
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 4: from Bryce Terrang. He said he was yelling at me,

117
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 4: yelling at to throw home, throw home, throw home. So

118
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 4: they had a good job of communicating out there defensively

119
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 4: for the Milwaukee.

120
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 5: Kudos said Terrang for that heads up to just say anyway,

121
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 5: go ahead.

122
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 4: Tim, No, it's just they orchestrated it perfectly. And that's

123
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 4: something we talked about yesterday, Steve. Is this Brewers team,

124
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 4: they hit the ball and play and they play good defense. Yes,

125
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 4: And that's all I can think about last night when

126
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 4: that play happened, was, of course the Brewers did this.

127
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 2: They play good defense.

128
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 5: They do, and they're well positioned. You know, you've seen

129
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 5: all these balls that are hit hard right at them.

130
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 5: Well you know what that's because they scout and they

131
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 5: know where they're gonna they know where they're gonna hit

132
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 5: the ball. A lot of balls are hit. If you

133
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 5: look at spray charts going back from a lot of years,

134
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 5: a lot of balls are hit in that corridor. If

135
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 5: you drew a line from the home plate to the

136
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 5: left side of the mound and to the right side

137
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 5: of the mountain to the dirt part, and you went

138
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 5: straight up the middle, that's where a lot of balls

139
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 5: are hit. And you see that's where they're playing because

140
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 5: they know historically that's just how it comes off the

141
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 5: bat a lot. So sometimes it's good to be a

142
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 5: little bit early and hit that ball in the hole

143
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 5: in that five to six hole, or hitting that ball

144
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 5: in that four to three hole to the you know,

145
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 5: to the right if you're at home plate looking towards

146
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 5: the field right of second basement or to the left

147
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 5: of the second basement, and it goes into right field.

148
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 5: But it's easier had been done. Baseball's hard. Hitting the

149
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 5: balls hard. I totally get it. I ain't going to

150
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 5: be one of those guys tim that longer you played,

151
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 5: you know, oh, the better you were. I mean, I

152
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 5: know how hard it is to play baseball. It is

153
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 5: so tough people, Why don't you just hit it over there? Well,

154
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 5: because it's not that easy. It's tough to play baseball well.

155
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 4: Last night, Blake Snell made it look really easy. I

156
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 4: mean he was in CRU's control for eight innings, face

157
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 4: the minimum twenty four batters, best performance for a pitcher

158
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 4: since Don Larson did it in a perfect game back

159
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 4: in nineteen fifty six against the Dodgers as a member

160
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 4: of the New York Yankees. Last night, Blake Snell was

161
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 4: working everything in all parts of the play with all

162
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 4: of his different pitches, and watching Mark de Rosa on

163
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 4: the MLB Network do this breakdown during the commercial break,

164
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 4: he pointed it out, and it's something I wanted to

165
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 4: bring up with you because he's a fellow hitter. Was

166
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 4: Blake Snell is so good because yes, he could hit

167
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 4: ninety six, ninety seven, ninety eight with pinpoint accuracy on

168
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 4: the fastball. It all quadrants, but the change up where

169
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 4: it comes out of his arm slot, it's the same

170
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 4: arm slot, and it's just hard to hit a pitch

171
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 4: that's eighty seven and a change up coming out of

172
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 4: the same armslot as a pitch that's ninety seven, and

173
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 4: all of a sudden it's on you and buy you

174
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 4: because you're thinking change up because it's the same arm

175
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 4: slot and it looks exactly the same.

176
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's probably ten to fifteen miles an hour less,

177
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 5: which is probably five feet I would say difference. And

178
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 5: you're talking about a difference on the bat of just

179
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 5: maybe an eighth of an inch that you need to

180
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 5: change for it to be a line driver, a pop up.

181
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 5: You got a ball that's round, a bat that's a sphere,

182
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 5: and they tell you to hit it square. Okay, that

183
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 5: is a weird thing. And then you got nine chumps

184
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 5: out there with a glove trying to get you out

185
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 5: when you do hit it square. So you see how

186
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 5: hard it is to hit. So to throw a guy

187
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 5: off because hitting is timing, and to throw a guy

188
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 5: off it's just a little bit. But you got to

189
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 5: diference of four or five feet coming in between the

190
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 5: fastball and a changeup, and also the change up. I

191
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 5: may say to conclude this little thing here. The changeup

192
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 5: comes off of the four the ring finger or the

193
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 5: pinky right, and that thing just fades a little bit.

194
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 5: So if you're a right handed hitter and you see

195
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 5: that ball coming in, it looks like a fastball. Okay,

196
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 5: it's not a fastball. I realize that. But also there's

197
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 5: a little drop to it because gravity will take the

198
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 5: ball down, and it's also got a little bit of

199
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 5: a screwball effect where it's going to go away from

200
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 5: the right hander, and that's just enough to make these

201
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 5: guys swing and miss, and they look silly up there,

202
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 5: and they go, why are you so out in front

203
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,079
Speaker 5: of that pitch because it looks exactly like a fastball,

204
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 5: and then all of a sudden, it's just not there anymore.

205
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 5: It's tough to hit. Yeah.

206
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 4: Blake Snell last night was almost unhittable. Became the first

207
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 4: Dodger to toss eight scoreless innings in a postseason game

208
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 4: since Clayton Kershaw did it in Game two of the

209
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 4: twenty twenty NL Wildcard Series against the Brewers, and again,

210
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 4: as we mentioned, the first major leaguer to face the

211
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 4: minimum through eighty in of a postseason game since Don

212
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 4: Larson in his nineteen fifty six perfect game when Eisenhower

213
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 4: was president. He became the first pitcher in postseason history

214
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 4: with ten or more strikeouts, one or no hits, and

215
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 4: no walks in an outing of at least eight innings,

216
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 4: and he's the first pitcher in the postseason history with

217
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 4: multiple outings of six plus innings and one or no

218
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 4: hits allowed in his single postseason. Only three other pitchers

219
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 4: have had two such postseason outings in their career, Zach Wheeler,

220
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 4: Max Scherzer, and on a Ball Sanchez And to put

221
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 4: in the context how he's feeling right now confidence wise

222
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 4: on the mound, he threw a no hitter back in

223
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 4: August to twenty twenty four for the San Francisco Giants.

224
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 4: Blake Snell did against the Cincinnati Reds and he was asked,

225
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 4: how locked in do you feel right now last night

226
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 4: this postseason?

227
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 2: He said he feels.

228
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 4: Like when he threw the no hitter that night in

229
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 4: August with the Giants, that feeling that domination, how he

230
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 4: felt in control. He says he's felt like that in

231
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 4: all three starts of this postseason. That to me is

232
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 4: a guy who is locked in yes October, and that.

233
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 5: Is amazing when he describes that, because once again there's

234
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 5: a common denominator, even though you talk about a hitter

235
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 5: or a pitcher, is he's talk about his feeling how

236
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 5: he feels at when he's pitching, and same thing when

237
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 5: you talk when you talk to hitters Uh, what do you?

238
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 5: What do you? What's your mindset? Well, I just feel

239
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 5: like I'm in a real zone right now. I'm locked

240
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 5: in the zone. I can feel it. And that's what

241
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 5: it is. When you're pitching or hitting and you're locked

242
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 5: in like that, it's a it's a it's a feeling

243
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 5: that you have. And and that's where Blake is right now.

244
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 5: He he doesn't have to explain it. He can, he

245
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 5: doesn't have to break it down. He's going by what

246
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 5: he feels and that feeling, feeling is locked in and

247
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 5: he's going with it. Smart guy.

248
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 4: Blake's now eight shutout in means Dodgers hang on for

249
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 4: the two to one win. Dodger fans an exhale, get

250
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 4: ready now for Game two tonight with Yoshinobu Yama Almoto

251
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 4: on the mound, first.

252
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 2: Pitch at five oh eight.

253
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 4: Let's go out to the phones, Oscar Baldwin Park, thanks

254
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 4: for being patient, Welcome to scam here on an five seventy.

255
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 2: How you doing Oscar?

256
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 6: Thatllas good morning. Just uh hey, they went there, they

257
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 6: did their jolly, they got the home kill. Bad these

258
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 6: that one of the games at Dodger Stadium. Now they

259
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 6: move on but I just want to real quick about

260
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 6: that fourtainny. I didn't know it was that. That was

261
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 6: a bank bank play man. Nobody knew what was going on. Uh,

262
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 6: And I was at the end of the day, I

263
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 6: was pitching. They got nothing out of it. No, no,

264
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 6: it's not even one score or anything. So that was

265
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 6: that killed the momentum for me. And then you brought

266
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 6: it up case with now when back got there, man,

267
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 6: he he uh, he killed that. Man, he's in the

268
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 6: zone right now. He killed that momentum I was effecting.

269
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 6: I told my buddy I was watching the game that

270
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 6: he went there and killed the momentum. He took charge

271
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 6: of the game again. The thirty pitcher, he had him

272
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 6: tell I'm gonna be I'm gonna get the momentum Back

273
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 6: I thought it. You see the way he's pitching. He

274
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 6: the best way to describe him right now, he's gangster

275
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 6: right now. Man, he's in gangs.

276
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 3: Well he's not.

277
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 6: He's taking the fools out and uh, it's good to see.

278
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 6: Uh across it earlier we have a dominant starting pitcher.

279
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 6: He's in the as the next chercher back in the

280
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 6: when the Giants are winning the World Series. But you

281
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 6: know they're looking good. It's gonna get tonight. This rip

282
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 6: their hearts off tonight. Man, you guys have a good day.

283
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 6: Be safe out there.

284
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 4: Theres a lot Oscar appreciate the phone call. Yeah, he

285
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 4: he is a gangster out there. He is taking fools

286
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 4: out as Oscar and Baldwin Park said he was that dominant.

287
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 4: And I'm curious as an infield there, Steve and and

288
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 4: you're out there, you're a Dodger player last night, top

289
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 4: of the fourth inning. Uh, either you're on base, you're

290
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 4: the one that hit the ball, you're you're just whatever

291
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 4: on the bench that happens to you as a team.

292
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 4: And you go back out there on the field in

293
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 4: the bottom of the fourth inning, the crowds into it.

294
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 4: You can feel it right the momentum it's there. It's

295
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 4: kind of teetering, what's gonna happen. How big is it

296
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 4: to have a starting pitcher like Blake Snell did and

297
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 4: have a one, two, three quick bottom of the fourth

298
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 4: inning to stop any sort of momentum from Milwaukee from

299
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 4: taking off.

300
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 5: Well, I will I would love to tell you what

301
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 5: I would say, but this is a family program and

302
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 5: I'm not going to use those words on here, but yeah,

303
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 5: during the game like that, when you're caught up in

304
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 5: that moment and you know this is you know, this

305
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 5: is war I took every single time I was out

306
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 5: there like this is a this is a battle, you know,

307
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 5: you against us, and you know when he would go

308
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 5: out there and do that, man, it would just fire

309
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 5: up the team. The team would just when Oral came

310
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 5: out of the you know, came out of the bullpen

311
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 5: that one time in New York. Man, it just set

312
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 5: our team, you know, to another level. And that's what

313
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 5: That's what Blake Snell did last night. You could had

314
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 5: four run lead right there with that grand Slam, could

315
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 5: have been a Grand Slam. And then he comes out

316
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 5: and just shoves. I mean you're just like, well take that, guys.

317
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 5: And again I won't say what I would say, but

318
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 5: but it's it's an amazing thing to really set your

319
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 5: team on another level. So Blake did.

320
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

321
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 4: I loved Freddy Freeman post game last night. He said

322
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 4: it on TBS. He said it in his postgame interview

323
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 4: with the media that he is so happy to have

324
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 4: Blake Snell on his team now that he was tired

325
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 4: of facing them. He was tired of having to go

326
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 4: up against him, and thinking about it starts that they

327
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 4: were going to face him for so many years he

328
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 4: pitched against them.

329
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 2: He gours in the World Series.

330
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 4: You know, Freddy wasn't with him in twenty twenty, but

331
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 4: the last couple of years with the Padres and the

332
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 4: Giants having to face Blake Snell, it's just it's tough.

333
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 4: It's it's really a tough battle for it or and

334
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 4: Freddy Freeman alluded to it. Man, we are so glad

335
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 4: that this guy is on our side. And the love

336
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 4: came right back from Blake Snell postgame saying, this is

337
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 4: why I wanted to be here. This group of guys

338
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 4: are winners, and I want to win a championship. I've

339
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 4: done all the other things I can possibly do. I

340
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 4: got two Cy Young Awards, I've won the individual stuff.

341
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 4: I want a championship. And you can tell he is

342
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 4: so happy to be a part of this team.

343
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, and he's such a he's a great teammate.

344
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 5: The guys love him there and he sets the example.

345
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 5: Did you see throughout that whole game, even when you

346
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 5: know it was that tight, you know they have four

347
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 5: runs taken away? Did you see any panic in his face. None, none,

348
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 5: he's you know what he's doing, looks like he's going out.

349
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 5: He's he's mowing the yard, or he's he's painting the fence.

350
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 5: I'll tell you another thing I didn't see. I saw

351
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 5: no sweat on him at all. Right, he was not

352
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 5: he was not stressful. He was having a good time,

353
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 5: and he was having like a nice workout.

354
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 2: But he wasn't.

355
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 5: He wasn't sweating all over the place and wiping his

356
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 5: brow and all that. I didn't see him do it once.

357
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 5: I saw no perspiration on his face. He was out

358
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 5: there just having a great time.

359
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 4: In that case, for why he should have gone back

360
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 4: out there in the ninth, well, because of all the

361
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 4: things you just said right now.

362
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, of course, of course we we think he could

363
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 5: have gone out in the ninth and won it. I

364
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 5: want to see that stretched out more. But it's it's

365
00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 5: almost like it's it's it's not accepted in baseball, you know,

366
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 5: dare you push somebody that hard? Come on, Well, he

367
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 5: could have done it. I think he could have done it,

368
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 5: no problem. And I want to see baseball kind of

369
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 5: jettison that stupid way of thinking. Uh An exaggerated version

370
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 5: of that is when Blake got pulled after what five

371
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 5: or six innings when he's pitching a no hitter, how

372
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 5: many was it?

373
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 3: Six?

374
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 2: Six innings against the Dodgers, and.

375
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 5: You pull him in that situation because that's what the

376
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 5: numbers say. Why don't you put a computer in the

377
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 5: dugout let it spit out the information. You don't need

378
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 5: a you don't need a manager. Save yourself a couple

379
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 5: million bucks. I mean, it's it's dumb. Okay, when when

380
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 5: did when did this transformation all of a sudden mean

381
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 5: something completely different? Uh, something more than the the the

382
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 5: baseball acumen of the guy in the dugout the manager.

383
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 5: I mean, what does your gut instinct tell you? That's

384
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 5: you know, that's that doesn't mean anything anymore. We're gonna

385
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 5: go by the numbers. How how weird. It's just a

386
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,719
Speaker 5: weird thing. I'd throw that, I would, I would say,

387
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 5: you got to be crazy not to use numbers as

388
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 5: far as a backup goes, but not his first not

389
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 5: making a first decision. No, that's up to the manager.

390
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 3: No.

391
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 4: I mean you think back again twenty twenty. You alluded

392
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 4: to it in Arlington. It was the World Series Dodgers

393
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 4: Game six, and the Dodgers were down one nothing. Blake

394
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 4: Snell was dealing into the sixth inning, and he gave

395
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 4: up a one out single to Austin Barnes at the

396
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,360
Speaker 4: top of the lineup, coming up there for the third time.

397
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 4: That's when Kevin Cash went out of the visiting dugout

398
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 4: and pulled Blake Snell for Nick Anderson, who was the

399
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 4: best reliever at the time, and unraveled for the Rays

400
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:37,919
Speaker 4: there in the World Series.

401
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 5: How that worked out?

402
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 2: It didn't work out great, It did not work out.

403
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 2: You have to wonder.

404
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 4: You have to wonder, is Blake Snell thinking that in

405
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 4: the dugout in the ninth inning? No, he's oh, in

406
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 4: the ninth inning last night, last night, after eight innings

407
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 4: of shutout baseball, he's in the back of his.

408
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 5: Mind going, hey, man, I'm just glad.

409
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty this happened to me two.

410
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 5: I'm just glad he wasn't thinking about that in the

411
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 5: sixth inning.

412
00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.

413
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 5: You know, Hey, what else has gone?

414
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 2: Tim?

415
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 5: What's that all that talk about oh and six against

416
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 5: the Brewers? We can't beat them? Yeah, you don't hear

417
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 5: that anymore.

418
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 2: That's right.

419
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 5: Like we talked about, this is a different this is

420
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 5: a different season. Now postseason is completely different. I wonder

421
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 5: what the Brewers are thinking, Wow, you know we handle

422
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 5: these guys. We were six and zero against these chaps

423
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 5: and now look what we got. Oh, I didn't see

424
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 5: that guy. I didn't see that Snell guy pitch like that.

425
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 3: Geez.

426
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 2: So you know what I mean, They're probably thinking, who

427
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 2: are these guys? Just had the same team we faced

428
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:30,919
Speaker 2: back in July night.

429
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, months he wasn't there, and you know Sasaki was.

430
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 5: This is this is like a new team. It's the

431
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 5: Blue Crew against the brew Crew.

432
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah.

433
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 4: I mean Blake Snell last night, if he goes to

434
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,959
Speaker 4: Dave Robertson, this isn't in his DNA, And certainly if

435
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 4: it was, we would have saw it back in the

436
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 4: sixth inning of the twenty twenty World Series, in which

437
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 4: he probably would have fought Kevin Cash to stay out

438
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 4: on the mount. As it is, he was upset about it,

439
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,479
Speaker 4: but he respected his managed decision and he came out

440
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 4: of the game back in twenty twenty. Last night, he said,

441
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 4: could you have gone back out there for the ninth?

442
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 4: He said, I respected Dave Roberts's decision. They wanted to

443
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 4: go to the bullpen. You know, I gave my Indian

444
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 4: innings and turned it over to them. Yeah, he could

445
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 4: have very easily. I mean I lobbied, he could have.

446
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 4: I want to go out there. He could have fought

447
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 4: said no, no, give me the ball at least let me

448
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 4: go batter to batter, give me the opportunity, and Dave

449
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 4: Roberts would have led him.

450
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 5: Probably would have let him right right, that's the relationship

451
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 5: they had. Or he could have took taken the hard

452
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 5: line and say, look, if you take me out, I'm

453
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:32,959
Speaker 5: gonna beat you to a pulp, take you in the alfterwards.

454
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 5: And I'm not I'll deny it, Dave, but I'm gonna

455
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 5: whip you away. But no, I'm just kidding. That's just

456
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 5: a joke. He would you know, they have a great

457
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 5: chemistry on the team and and I think if he

458
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 5: probably would have lobbied a lot for it, Dave would

459
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 5: have would have let him do it. But that shows

460
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 5: the respect that they have for their manager. Yes, and

461
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 5: they work great together and it all worked out, so

462
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 5: that's good.

463
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think if he would have, if he would

464
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 4: have asked, they would have obliged in that situation, but

465
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 4: you know, as it is, it's not in his DNA.

466
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 4: He's not the kind of guy to go do that. No,

467
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 4: maybe maybe me, I would have been a little bit

468
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 4: more forceful. Let me get let me finish my job.

469
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:10,719
Speaker 4: I did it for a and innings. I don't want

470
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 4: anybody else doing this. Let me go out there and

471
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 4: did three more outs. But again, you know, everybody's different,

472
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 4: and it's postseason baseball, and you know he's got more

473
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 4: games to think about. This isn't the last game, this

474
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 4: isn't his final start, and you know that's it, and

475
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 4: this is the World Series. He's got more starts to

476
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 4: make it. At least one more in this series maybe,

477
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 4: and two more in the in the World Series if they.

478
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 5: Get Yeah, I always saw it. I always thought that,

479
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 5: you know, I saw this happen one time in the

480
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 5: minor leagues where a guy was getting shelled and he

481
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 5: was he was just up, he's just out of the draft,

482
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 5: and he got he was getting shelled and he was

483
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 5: actually was Rick Suckliff's brother Terry, and we were in

484
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 5: a ball and his parents drove all the way from

485
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 5: Missouri to Florida to watch him pitch. He was just

486
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 5: drafted out of college and his parents got there all

487
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 5: the way from that drive from Missouri to Florida, and

488
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 5: they're watching and he's just getting the tars shelled out

489
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 5: of him. The manager goes out and says, well, Terry, uh,

490
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 5: you know. He puts his hand out, says, give me

491
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 5: the ball. You know, he gave up like nine runs

492
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 5: in the second inning. Puts his hand out like then,

493
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 5: Terry says, I'm not coming out. My parents are here

494
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 5: and they're in the stands, and I'm not coming out

495
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 5: of this game for anything. And the manager said, oh.

496
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 5: He looked around. He said, well, let me rub it,

497
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 5: and he wound up keeping it in the game.

498
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 2: Guy wasn't coming out.

499
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 5: So you can defy your manager, but maybe not if

500
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 5: you give up nine runs and one any.

501
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 4: Exactly he is Steve Sacks. I'm Tim Kates, thanks for

502
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 4: being with us. Your foe calls coming out, David Vats say,

503
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 4: next hour. Hose A Mota, though, joins his next saxon

504
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 4: Kate's in the am here on a FI seventy LA

505
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 4: Sports Dodgers win Game one of the Nationally Championship Series.

506
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 4: They beat the Brewers last night two to one behind

507
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,880
Speaker 4: Blake Snells eight shutout. Indians faced a minimum twenty four batters,

508
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 4: ten strikeouts, zero walks. He was dialed in. He's now

509
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 4: three to zero in this postseason. Freddie Freeman win deep.

510
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 4: Dodgers scored a run in the ninth inning on a

511
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 4: basis loaded walk to Mookie Betts, and things got.

512
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 2: A little hairy there in the bottom half of the.

513
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 4: Ninth inning with Rookie Sasaki and then Blake Trining trying

514
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 4: though get the strikeout to end the game with the

515
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 4: bases loaded, the tye and run ninety feet away. Who

516
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 4: a lot to digest from last night as the Dodgers

517
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 4: get the two to one win. Tim Kate, Steve Saxson,

518
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 4: you here on M five seventy ELA Sports and joining

519
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 4: us now from Milwaukee, the one and only Jose Mona,

520
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 4: Jose Wow. I heard you with David Vesey last night

521
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 4: on the postgame show. What a game to start off

522
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 4: this NLCS. We'll start off right with Blake Snell the

523
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 4: eight shutout innings. Man, what a masterful performance last night.

524
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 3: There's guys that have the ability. Hey Saxy, Hey Kasey

525
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 3: hum to all the game down, you know, and just

526
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 3: to say, well, what does the moment need me for?

527
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 3: And how can I actually be an example here for

528
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,919
Speaker 3: my teammates. And as you know, if you have somebody

529
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 3: on the mount that's a little too hoped up and

530
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,679
Speaker 3: looking to hard and you know, over manufacturing trying to

531
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 3: get to velocity and stuff like that. But this guy's

532
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 3: like total opposites like guys, you know what, let's have

533
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 3: control here and that actually and tactually you know very well,

534
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 3: really allows a defense to settle too, because against this

535
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 3: team you have to play good defense. I mean, the

536
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 3: Brewers force you to catch the ball. But what's even

537
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 3: more amazing to me is the calmness, the variety of pitches,

538
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 3: his focus and demeanor, at least it after the game.

539
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 3: You know, he has a little card that he goes through,

540
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 3: which is amazing to me. It's remarkable in his back pocket.

541
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 3: But it's about reading swings, understanding what the situation calls for,

542
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 3: how guys reactive pitches, and just being in good rhythm.

543
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,360
Speaker 3: I think being in good rhythm off sets a lot

544
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 3: of hitters. And of course the ability to throw ninety

545
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 3: seven ninety eight with a change of a ninet eighty six.

546
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 3: That'll get it done to Yeah.

547
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 5: Hey, Jose, good to be with you. My friend wanted

548
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 5: to ask you about this matchup with with the Brewers.

549
00:24:58,680 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 3: Now.

550
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 5: Oh and sick the Dodgers were during the season. I

551
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 5: get it, But it's a different team now. I mean

552
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 5: they didn't have a Blake Snail to face, et cetera.

553
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 5: There's no Max Munsey and there's just a lot different team.

554
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 5: But I think this Brewer team that takes a lot

555
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 5: of pitches that is so called, you know, very selective

556
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,439
Speaker 5: at the plate. When you have wipeout stuff like the

557
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 5: Dodgers have with their four starters, that's not a good

558
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 5: recipe to sit there and take a lot of pitches

559
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 5: because you're gonna be O two and you're gonna have

560
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 5: wipeout stuff in front of you. That's not a good recipe.

561
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 5: When this Dodger team is fully stocked, I think they're

562
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 5: going to match up really good along the way here

563
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 5: against the philosophy of the Milwaukee Brewers.

564
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 7: Yes, they much have Quaie well sexually because one thing

565
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 7: too is if you look at the only six I'm

566
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 7: I am as a believer and just saying, wow, they

567
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 7: totally got me blown away.

568
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 3: If you look at every result, there's three games decided

569
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 3: by a run, there's two games decided about two runs,

570
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 3: and there's a blow out like nine head Water or

571
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 3: something like that. So when you look at the little

572
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 3: things you mentioned not being a full team and in

573
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 3: fact not playing well, overall, they were not playing good baseball,

574
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 3: there's no doubt right exactly. I mean, the talent was there.

575
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 3: There's a pisses they're missing. There's like how do I

576
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,120
Speaker 3: match up this against that? I used to The bullpen

577
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 3: was in shambles. But when you look at all that

578
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 3: and say, okay, well, if you lose like three by

579
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 3: three games by a run, that means it's something went

580
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 3: wrong during that game to tell you that perhaps it

581
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 3: could be different now. And it's gonna be different now

582
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,120
Speaker 3: because I recalled, you know, the Angels and wait sockx

583
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 3: buck in five when the Angels went six and all

584
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 3: against the White Sox. Before you know it, go to

585
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 3: the LCS Alcs and it's over like quickly, like all games.

586
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 3: And now you have the staff, but I think overall

587
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 3: we have starting pitching this late. That's all put together

588
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 3: I had. Doesn't matter who you're playing, you're gonna be

589
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 3: able to stop some people. And then as you mentioned

590
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 3: Sacs against the Brewers, yeah, they run, they are gonna run,

591
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 3: They're gonna faily. In fact, they had twenty attempts still

592
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 3: third base. Third base alone, it's about that in modern game.

593
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 3: So what they do is they try to get third

594
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 3: base because they have a lot They hit a lot

595
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 3: of infield hits, so it's like, hey, if I think

596
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 3: they've got a third base, little grounder here and there,

597
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 3: it's gonna.

598
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 4: Get a run.

599
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 3: So if you if you stop number one from getting

600
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 3: on base, which is you know, the first purpose, then

601
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 3: everything really changes for them. Even though at the end

602
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 3: they surprise a lot of people getting to Chicago Cuza

603
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 3: because they hit seven home runs, which is not their game,

604
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 3: but being the postseason, there's gonna be some surprises here

605
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 3: in litible teams like that. But nonetheless, we got to

606
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 3: do is make sure that that first time every evening

607
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 3: you stop, because then stops the whole philosophy guys getting

608
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 3: on base, running in motion and things like that. And

609
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,400
Speaker 3: you know, point to the fact that Snell had such

610
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 3: a great sense there's long the game down to that

611
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 3: that pickoff at first base is like keeping getting time,

612
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 3: and all of a sudden, it's like, I'm gonna time

613
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 3: you because I'm not even gonna run first move, and

614
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 3: there was got to play catch, got the job done.

615
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 4: One three four Jose the bottom of the fourth inning

616
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 4: and the double play of the eight six eight sixty

617
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 4: two double play the Brewers formed on the Dodgers.

618
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 5: To get out of that.

619
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,919
Speaker 4: And what were your thoughts when that happened in the moment,

620
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 4: what went through your mind as it played out?

621
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 3: Flashbacks of New York City City field. That was the

622
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,959
Speaker 3: first time I thought about where I mean, in college,

623
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 3: you're taught. I remember Augia Garrido Sachs say, Hey, the

624
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 3: ball hits that glove the first time. I don't care

625
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 3: what happens after that. If you're tagging, you're tagging with

626
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 3: the ball hit said glove. There's no nothing else to

627
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 3: think about if it hits the wall, if it drops

628
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 3: the ground and everything. But that's what task were actually

629
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 3: admitted that he messed up, and he did. I mean,

630
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 3: you've got to go through to see the ball bouncing

631
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 3: off great playing center field, but you know this kid

632
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 3: fairly is outstanding obviously with this goal glove. But you

633
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 3: got to be in that situation more weird. What I

634
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 3: thought was confusion. I'm like, what the heck is going on?

635
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 3: That's what went through my mind right away, Like you

636
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 3: got to get a run. I'm like, okay, here's a run.

637
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 3: The run is coming, no matter what what happens after that.

638
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 3: But fortunately it was the mesiscossia as it could have been.

639
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,040
Speaker 3: But I think baseball teachers of every single day. I

640
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 3: was saying this in the air, that he come to

641
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 3: the ballpark in a ball game every day. You never

642
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 3: know where you're gonna find and see something. The first

643
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 3: time I've never seen a fource ol like that ever, yeah,

644
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 3: maybe ever again. So wounds of my mind was please

645
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 3: get out of this.

646
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 5: I agree, Jose, I've never seen anything like that. That

647
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 5: was absolutely crazy. And yeah, when the ball hits the glove,

648
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 5: you gone. You don't wait around. The ball hits the glove,

649
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 5: you've tagged up, you're gone, and then you take it off.

650
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 3: But yeah, anyway, that but let's a good job saying

651
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 3: that there's no catch, the ball the ball is freely gold.

652
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 3: You keep going. And you know a lot of people

653
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 3: actually saw that that he got doubled up. It was

654
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 3: not that of the forced up, you know, because the

655
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 3: war balanced and playing exactly.

656
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 5: Jose's going to ask you this team, the Dodger team.

657
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 5: I counted up to one point six balls that were

658
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 5: caught that were over one hundred hit off the bat.

659
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 5: And you know, kudos to the to the to the

660
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 5: Brewers because they've scouted well and they knew pretty much.

661
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 5: I guess had a good idea where the Dodgers are

662
00:29:58,200 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 5: going to hit the ball. But you know the old

663
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 5: adage and you played and you know that, hey, if

664
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 5: you can hit the ball hard, uh, you know, hang

665
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 5: with him. But you know, maybe next time it be

666
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 5: a different outcome. You can't guide it, just hit it hard.

667
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 5: I think if the Dodgers keep hitting the ball hard

668
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 5: like they are, boy, I'll tell you what. We didn't

669
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 5: see that from the other side. They didn't hit anything

670
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 5: except their butt on the bench after three strikes. But

671
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 5: I think the Dodgers, if they keep swinging the bat

672
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 5: and keep hitting the ball hard, they're going to have

673
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 5: a different fortune to look at. They could have scored

674
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 5: easily six or seven runs four on that one play.

675
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 5: That would have been a Grand Slam.

676
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 3: I agree with you, and I'm glad that nowadays because

677
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 3: in your days, obviously in our days, we get the

678
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 3: measures that I was like, yeah, I hit the ball hard,

679
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 3: Like no, you didn't, you know, right for me? For me,

680
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 3: it would have been like, hey, I hit it eighty eight.

681
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 3: That's pretty good, right, you know. But now you have

682
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 3: all these things to measure and to analyze and break down.

683
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 3: And I think the approach is so good. And with

684
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 3: a look at how many times down your struck out

685
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 3: last night and that seems you know, guys that throw

686
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 3: the ball well. And the approach to Dave Roberts, in fact,

687
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 3: has implemented more and more. And I'm left to the

688
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 3: series at Pittsburgh that was not a good reminder. But actually,

689
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 3: but during that series, Dave Roberts started implementing, along with

690
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 3: Robin and Aaron Bates, just an approaching VP that's going

691
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 3: to work in the game. Eventually when they got it,

692
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 3: he saw September one when Tail got hot. But it's

693
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 3: a well he wants to see line drives through the

694
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 3: middle and the other way. And I'm talking not just

695
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 3: the first round or second round, all throughout batting practice.

696
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 3: And now Freddie Freeman has been out hitting more out

697
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,479
Speaker 3: in the open field and you need all very well sexy.

698
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 3: You see a guy like that just going the other

699
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 3: way constantly, not worrying about power, and it's contagious. The

700
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 3: approach is contagious, and that's why you got to go

701
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 3: out there and stay with the basics. Especially this lame

702
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 3: of season was so much on the line. If you

703
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 3: stay with the basically fundamentals on your approach and don't overtry,

704
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 3: you're going to be better off. But it was encouraging

705
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 3: to see the fact that Dave Doggards fords the Brewers

706
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 3: to catch a baseball, and that approach is going to

707
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 3: work against anybody if they stay with it and not

708
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 3: try to just over manufacturer. The best example for me

709
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 3: is kik It kick It has got control swings, he's

710
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 3: got control of bats. He's going the other way, and

711
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 3: that to me is just the reminder of the fact

712
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 3: that they're working so hard and making sure that they

713
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 3: stay simple and allow the power to be the power.

714
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 5: Jose.

715
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 4: A final thing for me, Steve, you mentioned it that

716
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 4: this is a Brewers team that will be very selective

717
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 4: at the plate and they'll take strikes.

718
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 2: How important is it for.

719
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 4: Yama Motor tonight not to be the guy who likes

720
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 4: to nibble on the corners and try to get swinging missus.

721
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 4: But instead just attack this Brewers team and then trust

722
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 4: in your split finger that they're going to get swinging missus.

723
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 3: Yes, attack, You got to go out there and have

724
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 3: all in ones. For Yama Malta give you an inside information.

725
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 3: He watched fifty nine guys this year. Okay, total thirty six.

726
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 3: Thirty six of those walks came in the first three innings.

727
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 3: And what does that tell you. It's like he's trying

728
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 3: to find a way. It turned to you know, they

729
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 3: see how much they open up, and you can't do that.

730
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 3: You can't do that at this stage. One one thing

731
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 3: about Yamamlto is you got to play with defense behind

732
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 3: him because remember the first out of was Cincinnati to

733
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 3: Oscar grab that fly ball that cost them extra runs.

734
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 3: Even though he ended up pitching quite well. Last doubting

735
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 3: there's a throw from Pies that ended up in the

736
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 3: dugout and brought us glove so and he ended up

737
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 3: getting out of that game before he even reached seventy pitches.

738
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 3: So one of the key with him because he throws

739
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 3: a lot of strikes and he actually you know, for

740
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 3: a power guy. And you know this tactic too is

741
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 3: he's a braw ball pitcher and this draft here is

742
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 3: a little sick of the infield. You got to be

743
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 3: able to position yourself well and play as good as

744
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 3: MOOKI play last night. Just need into good spots. But

745
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 3: last time, we Yama Malto, last time I talked to

746
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 3: you guys last October, you know, took him out the

747
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 3: next game, Yamamoto, you know, you know we Yama Molto

748
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 3: ready for game five and then we go again. Yeah,

749
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 3: game two.

750
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, Wow, that's a good that's a good thing. Jose, Jose.

751
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 5: My last one for you, the fact that they caught stealing.

752
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 5: This is a big part of their plank and their

753
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 5: platform here is to steal bases, create chaos on the bases.

754
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,280
Speaker 5: I didn't like the way he did that, and especially

755
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,439
Speaker 5: with Blake Snell looking at him, do jump jump, jump

756
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 5: and then and then take off. He's not only leaning

757
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 5: on that right leg, he's jumping, you know, place to place,

758
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 5: going towards second base. That's an easy pick. It's like

759
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 5: you said, catch and throw. Does this make them think

760
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 5: twice now that the Dodgers might be more aware of

761
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 5: them trying to do this, and and maybe they're gonna

762
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:30,959
Speaker 5: be a little bit more cautious about doing that because

763
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 5: that was a blatant mistake.

764
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 3: Yeah it was a mistake, but that's how they play

765
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 3: the game. Pat Murphy's I und to change anything. If

766
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 3: anything to me is now that you bring that up, well,

767
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,359
Speaker 3: yell a malta on the mound. If you go back

768
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 3: and look at some video stolen business allowed at least

769
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 3: five of them. I counted where gas were bouncing on

770
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 3: first base, where if anybody had said step off, the

771
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 3: guys out of first base. But for some reason, when

772
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 3: he's like locked in, he doesn't see anything else. If

773
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,720
Speaker 3: it's like gonna be a overhere, he is a thrower program.

774
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 3: But if somebody just says, hey, they're bouncing off, dancing

775
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,280
Speaker 3: off the back, step off, pick them off, it's gonna happen.

776
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 3: So as we bring that up, yes, so we'll see

777
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 3: how they react. But I think somebody in the infield

778
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 3: needs to be quite aware, or your catcher make sure

779
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 3: your points, Hey, step off, that guy's leaning too much.

780
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 3: We're going to get him out there. But first of

781
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 3: all is you know, keep them off the basis. And

782
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 3: if what happens. Catch a baseball, baseball one to one,

783
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,720
Speaker 3: little deck, start with a baseball, get.

784

799
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,480

809
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,200

00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 4: is slick out there on the roads, a lot of traffic,

838
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 4: a lot of spinouts. Just be careful as you drive,

841
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 4: Ami seventy LA Sports. Coming up at the top of

842
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 4: the hour, David vest say, we'll join us from Milwaukee,

843
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 4: and I certainly no. He probably had a hard time

844
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 4: sleeping last night, how giddy he was after the performance.

845
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 4: Blake's now the eight shutout inning, strikeout ten as the

846
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 4: Dodgers get the game one win last night, two to

847
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 4: one or the Milwaukee Brewers.

848
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 2: It didn't come easy, though.

849
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 4: In that ninth inning, Rokie Sasaki pay two thirds of

850
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 4: an inning gave up a run. He had two walks

851
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 4: through twenty two pitches. You mentioned it earlier, Steve. You

852
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 4: can see it in the bullpen, his eyes, his look,

853
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:24,359
Speaker 4: his demeanor kind of felt like he was seeing what

854
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 4: was ahead of him and the moment maybe got a little.

855
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 2: Too big for him.

856
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 4: Maybe things sped up for him a little bit there

857
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 4: in the ninth inning. He didn't get the chase and

858
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 4: swing and misses that he got against the Philadelphia Feelies.

859
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 4: And with that being said, Blake trying to had to

860
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 4: come in and thankfully got to ring the strikeout on

861
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 4: a high fastball to end the game. But moving forward,

862
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 4: you gotta have confidence right in Sasaki. Still, this isn't

863
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,839
Speaker 4: a well one time out there, didn't get it done,

864
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 4: wasn't as dominant.

865
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 2: So we're gonna give up on the guy.

866
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 5: No, heck no, And in one game isn't going to

867
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 5: make the difference. The thing is they won the game,

868
00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:01,359
Speaker 5: and that's going to not have some guilt or some

869
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 5: you know, you know, some insecurity set in for Sosak.

870
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 5: They won the game and that's that's what counts. And

871
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:07,839
Speaker 5: he got a couple out, so you know, you leave

872
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 5: that there. I think he'll be fine the second time

873
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 5: he was exposed now to some of what of this

874
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:17,240
Speaker 5: NLCS flavor is like, and you know nobody's gonna be perfect,

875
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 5: so you just go from here. And I think the

876
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 5: key though, is the pressure, the pressure that this starting

877
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,800
Speaker 5: rotation puts on the on the offense of Milwaukee. I

878
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 5: think it really lines up good for the Dodgers. The

879
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 5: the philosophy of the Brewers is susceptible to being you know,

880
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 5: down in the count a lot and getting wiped out.

881
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:41,760
Speaker 5: That's exactly what you saw yesterday, taking pitches, taking pitches,

882
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 5: taking pitches, you're down oh two, then they swing at a

883
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 5: bad pitch. It's because they set up or the philosophy,

884
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 5: if you will, about getting behind in the count. It

885
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 5: puts pressure on the hitters. If you're O two, if

886
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 5: you're if you're two oh or three to one, you're

887
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 5: sitting good. But if you're oher and two or one

888
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,399
Speaker 5: and two, you're in a tough position, dude, because you're

889
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 5: facing guys that can just absolutely just destroy your at

890
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 5: bat with with the with a menagerie of ugly pitches

891
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 5: that you were going to have to hit. So I

892
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 5: don't buy that whole thing let's let's take a lot

893
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,320
Speaker 5: of pitches and get them, you know, and be selective

894
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 5: and try to get into the bullpen. Well, you know,

895
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 5: good luck with that started. Pitches will wipe you out.

896
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,359
Speaker 4: You asked the question earlier to that point. How many

897
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 4: times did Blake Snell get ahead with a first pitch strike?

898
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 4: We mentioned it was eighteen of the twenty four batters

899
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 4: that he faced last night, he got ahead oh one

900
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,359
Speaker 4: in account as there you go, Sosaki, though face five

901
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 4: batters walk to he only got strike one one of

902
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 4: the five.

903
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 2: Batters that he faced last night in the ninth and.

904
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 5: Not too good on his part, great on Blake Snell's part.

905
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 5: And I keep getting asked that question, like, you know,

906
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 5: when I'm traveling or whatever, what's the key to the game?

907
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 5: You know what? And you and I say, strike one,

908
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 5: that's the key because and it's the key for the

909
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:58,840
Speaker 5: Dodgers because their their pitching staff is so elite. It's

910
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:01,799
Speaker 5: maybe the best they're is right now. And when you

911
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 5: have I'm telling you, because I face staffs like this

912
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 5: before that were this good. You don't want to get

913
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 5: down in the count. And what's the philosophy of the

914
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 5: brewers to take a lot of pitches. That doesn't bode

915
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 5: well for them. That's that's not a good recipe.

916
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 2: In this game. That is cat and mouse back and forth.

917
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 4: Let's say the Brewers tonight adjusts and start ambushing, so

918
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 4: to speak, Yamamoto first pitch, swinging, attacking them early. Maybe

919
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,360
Speaker 4: some hits fall early for them in the first two innings.

920
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 4: If you're Yamamoto, if you're Will Smith, if you're the Dodger,

921
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 4: you know game planners here, do you then change it

922
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 4: up and maybe not try to throw a strike first pitch,

923
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 4: Maybe nibble a little bit, knowing that their approach has changed.

924
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 4: Now you've got a counter with an approach pitching. Maybe

925
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 4: get some swinging missus, knowing they're a little bit more aggressive.

926
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 2: At the plate.

927
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:51,280
Speaker 4: All right, we'll throw a pitch, maybe on the black,

928
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 4: on the outside, see if we can get a chase

929
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 4: and roll them over on a ground ball, knowing that

930
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 4: they're aggressive on that first pitch.

931
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:01,760
Speaker 5: For me, I think it's it's it's hitters are more susceptible,

932
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 5: especially right handed hitters, are more susceptible to the ball

933
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 5: up and down as opposed to side to side, So

934
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:11,360
Speaker 5: I would just hump it up, use that four seamer,

935
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 5: pitch it on the on, you know, up in the

936
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 5: strike zone around the letters, and good luck with hitting that.

937
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:17,879
Speaker 5: That's a that's a really tough pitch to hit. Left

938
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 5: handers are most notoriously left handed. Left handed hitters are

939
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:23,959
Speaker 5: low ball hitters, so you'd want to pitch those guys

940
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,320
Speaker 5: up in the zone too. So you know, there's different

941
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:30,800
Speaker 5: ways to do it. But when you talk about ambushing somebody,

942
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,760
Speaker 5: that means that, you know, everybody in the park is surprised.

943
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 5: I always thought that why get in the batter's box

944
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 5: if you're not ready to hit? First pitch counts too.

945
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 5: You know, people call it ambush. I call it being

946
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 5: ready to hit.

947
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 2: I love it.

948
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 4: Michael and Bellflower, thanks for being patient. Welcome to Scam Saxon,

949
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 4: Kate's and am on this Tuesday morning.

950
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,919
Speaker 8: You doing Hey, I'm doing well. Hey, good morning guys.

951
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 8: I just wanted to touch on the fact that Pau

952
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 8: is getting that bunt down with such a big play. Yes,

953
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:58,879
Speaker 8: considering that there's two on and nobody out. I mean,

954
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:00,959
Speaker 8: we've seen slug know Dodgers.

955
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 3: Like the slug.

956
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 8: He hasn't been swinging it great. I don't know if

957
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 8: he if it was on his own or if they

958
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 8: called it from the bench. But to be able to

959
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 8: get that to call the bunt was great. To be

960
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 8: able to get it down was even better. And then

961
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 8: it forces the hand of the brewers over there to decide, Okay,

962
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 8: do we want to pitch Joe Tani? Probably not, so

963
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 8: they put him on, which is good for a Tani too.

964
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 8: He gets on base two or three times last night.

965
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 8: Good for him going into tonight. And we've all seen

966
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:26,840
Speaker 8: in the last couple of seasons Mookie Betts has a

967
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 8: tendency to rise to the occasion when he's put in

968
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:32,319
Speaker 8: that situation, whether it be draw a lock or get

969
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 8: the hit or you know, hit the sack by he

970
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 8: seems to rise in those moments. And I just thought

971
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:38,799
Speaker 8: it was so big for Pae has to get that

972
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:39,880
Speaker 8: bunt down last night.

973
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 4: No, no doubt, that's a great point. Thanks for a

974
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:44,439
Speaker 4: phone call, Michael. I'm sure that was told to him.

975
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,839
Speaker 4: Get the bunt down, sacrifice bunt.

976
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 5: Great bunt too.

977
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 4: You know, let's roll it over to the top of

978
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 4: the lineup. If Freddie Freeman said after the game, this

979
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 4: is what you have to be in October, unselfish you

980
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 4: have to be out there willing to do whatever it takes,

981
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 4: whether it's in a bat, whether it's on the base pass,

982
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 4: whether it's on the mound, sacrifice your self for the

983
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 4: good of the team during a game, and good things

984
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 4: will happen. And Andy Potters right there with the bunt.

985
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 4: It's a great prime example.

986
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:08,280
Speaker 5: So I agree, Well.

987
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:09,359
Speaker 2: Come back one hour to go.

988
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 4: David Vasse joins us from Milwaukee, certainly giddy after the

989
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 4: performance from Plakesdel last night. Dodge was a one oh

990
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 4: series lead in this NLCS. He's Steve Sacks, I'm Tim Kates.

991
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 4: It's Sacks and Kate to the am here on this

992
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:22,680
