Speaker 5: Dodgers World Series Baseball list brought to you by La
Speaker 5: County Public Works Recycling Beverage Containers is a triple play
Speaker 5: and by Children's Hospital LA, creating hope and building healthier
Speaker 5: futures for over one hundred twenty four years.
Speaker 6: Now we go to your award winning broadcasters of the
Speaker 6: world champion Dodgers.
Speaker 5: Here's your host of Dodger Talk.
Speaker 4: It's only been fourteen years. Every day, David Vasse. Welcome
Speaker 4: the Dodger Talk. David Vasse live Dodgers Stadium. After the
Speaker 4: Blue Jays win game four six to two, eight six six, nine,
Speaker 4: eight seven two, five seventy is the phone number. We
Speaker 4: have one line open right now. We are with you
Speaker 4: until ten o'clock. We will get more postgame reaction. Jose
Speaker 4: Moto will join us in forty minutes. But there's a
Speaker 4: few things to unpack between now and then. Number One,
Speaker 4: great effort by Shoho Tani after an incredible game last
Speaker 4: night that saw him on base all nine times last night,
Speaker 4: including being intentionally walked four times in extra innings. Last night,
Speaker 4: he had four hits last night, he scored three times.
Speaker 4: He was the Dodger offense. He willed the Dodgers through
Speaker 4: those first nine innings. But tonight there's only so much
Speaker 4: he can do. I mean, yeah, you asked him to
Speaker 4: carry you offensively last night. You're asking him to start
Speaker 4: game four and be the man on the mound.
Speaker 1: Tonight.
Speaker 4: He ya everything he had and even got into the
Speaker 4: seventh inning, just started to run out of gas and
Speaker 4: the Blue Jays scored four runs. The Dodgers need somebody
Speaker 4: else outside of sho Hao Tani offensively to step up.
Speaker 4: You look at some of the guys that we are
Speaker 4: accustomed to knowing stepping up in October. Max Munsei, who
Speaker 4: came up in a critical spot in the bottom of
Speaker 4: the sixth inning with runners at first and second and
Speaker 4: one out, facing the left handed pitcher Mason flew Hardy,
Speaker 4: who just came in, he swings at the first pitch
Speaker 4: and flies out, doesn't even have a productive out. Monsei
Speaker 4: in this World Series is three for seventeen, and then
Speaker 4: Tommy Edman, hitting from the right side, gets spun to
Speaker 4: death again and strikes out and the Dodgers don't score
Speaker 4: a run in that sixth inning. Mookie Betts. Anybody's seen
Speaker 4: Mooki Betts lately, seen him play good defense. But he's
Speaker 4: hitting second behind sho he Otani. The Dodgers need some
Speaker 4: offense from Mookie Bets. You could talk about benching Andy
Speaker 4: Pahez all you want, and I'm in favor of that,
Speaker 4: you know, I have been for the last couple of games.
Speaker 4: But the Dodgers need Max Muncie, they need Tommy Edmund,
Speaker 4: and they certainly need Mooky Bets. Mooki Bets is three
Speaker 4: for nineteen in this World Series without an RBI. In fact,
Speaker 4: Mooki Bets in the Championship Series and in this World
Speaker 4: Series the first four games is a combined five for
Speaker 4: thirty four with one extra base hit. Bets was two
Speaker 4: for fifteen in the NLCS that saw the Dodgers sweep.
Speaker 4: He is three for nineteen in the World Series. He
Speaker 4: has seven fly ball outs in his last two games.
Speaker 4: How many times did Mooki Bets pop up last night?
Speaker 4: After show Heotani was intentionally walked. He is in a
Speaker 4: critical spot in the batting order. They need Mookie Bets
Speaker 4: to be more than just a defensive shortstop. If he's
Speaker 4: hitting second behind Sho Heyo Tani, they need him. I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: I mean, you could talk about Poez all you want.
Speaker 4: Nobody loves Mookie Bets more than I do, and they
Speaker 4: need him to step up. And look, I was listening
Speaker 4: to Derek Jeter on Colin Coward. I know I'm gonna
Speaker 4: reference Jeet, but Derek Jeter is referencing the two thousand
Speaker 4: and one World Series, which ended up the Yankees losing,
Speaker 4: where he got that headline mister November going into that
Speaker 4: game where he saved the Yankees on November first. He
Speaker 4: only had one hit in the World Series, so the
Speaker 4: narrative can change really quickly. Nobody will remember the first
Speaker 4: four games of Mookie Bets only having three hits. If
Speaker 4: he can deliver in the next two or three games
Speaker 4: for the Dodgers and get them to a World Series championship,
Speaker 4: That's how quickly people forget. That's how quickly people would
Speaker 4: forget Max Munsey's struggles, Tommy edmund struggles, ta Oscar Hernandez's struggles.
Speaker 4: It changes quickly game to game the narrative. But the
Speaker 4: reality is, you know, talking to Nomar Garcia Para before
Speaker 4: yesterday's game, he diagnosed Mookie Bets perfectly. If you watch
Speaker 4: his at bats the last two games and even going
Speaker 4: back to the championship series, it looks like the Mookie
Speaker 4: Bets that was struggling for the first one hundred games
Speaker 4: of the season. He's dropping his back, shoulder down, and
Speaker 4: he's trying to scoop every pitch for a home run.
Speaker 4: He needs to get line drives up the middle, pull
Speaker 4: for power line dry pulls. He hit a line drive
Speaker 4: right at the third baseman Ernie Clement.
Speaker 1: But they need Mookie.
Speaker 4: Bets, I'm sorry they do, especially if Shoeotani's going to
Speaker 4: pitch the night after eighteen innings. They needed Mookie Betts
Speaker 4: to step up and be a big offensive player. Now,
Speaker 4: as far as Andy pie haz Goes was tonight an
Speaker 4: indication Dave Roberts is finally thinking that he needs to
Speaker 4: go with a different center fielder in Game five here
Speaker 4: at Dodgers Stadium, and I was assured today that Tommy
Speaker 4: Edmonds right ankle, right foot was good enough to go
Speaker 4: in center field.
Speaker 7: Now.
Speaker 4: Is he as good of a defensive center fielder as
Speaker 4: Andy pai haes, or with a strong arm as Andy Pott,
Speaker 4: or as strong of an arm as Andy pai has
Speaker 4: right now? Absolutely not. But you need some offense. The
Speaker 4: Dodgers have only scored three runs in their last twenty innings.
Speaker 4: I would love to see Miguel Rojas playing second base
Speaker 4: in Game five and Tommy Edmond playing center field in
Speaker 4: Game five. I have said that the last couple of
Speaker 4: after the last couple of games, going back to Toronto after
Speaker 4: Game one, and I wasn't sure about Tommy d Men's
Speaker 4: health as far as the right ankle goes. But last
Speaker 4: night he played six innings and extra innings. You think
Speaker 4: his ankle knows whether or not it's extra innings or
Speaker 4: if it's just a regular day.
Speaker 1: Of course not.
Speaker 4: I know Dave Roberts is really loyal and believes in
Speaker 4: his players and doesn't want to abendon Paez, but the
Speaker 4: reality is he's overmatched right now in his first everyday postseason. Now,
Speaker 4: if you want him in there for defense later in
Speaker 4: the game by all means, but I would love to
Speaker 4: see a game. You've got to change the dynamics of
Speaker 4: this lineup. It's stale. It's not working. It hasn't been working.
Speaker 4: Even going back to the Brewers Championship series. They've gotten
Speaker 4: big time home runs at critical times to help them
Speaker 4: score runs.
Speaker 1: But right now it's not happening.
Speaker 4: And I know Tommy Edmond's not having that much better
Speaker 4: of a world series, but it's more about getting Miguel
Speaker 4: Rojas in there and having a guy that can turn
Speaker 4: that lineup over and maybe somehow, some way have men
Speaker 4: on bas for Showy Otani when he comes to the plate.
Speaker 4: I know everybody has short memories, and even the teams
Speaker 4: will change the narrative from year to year, game to game,
Speaker 4: series to series, but I remember I remember talking to
Speaker 4: members of the Padres coaching staff last NLDS and they
Speaker 4: said the key to winning their series against the Dodgers
Speaker 4: was keeping men on base. Keeping men off base when
Speaker 4: Otani came to the plate. That made Otani that much
Speaker 4: more difficult to pitch around, made him much more difficult
Speaker 4: to pitch to when there are runners on base, not
Speaker 4: even scoring position runners on base. That has not occurred
Speaker 4: on a regular basis in the last two rounds and
Speaker 4: so far in the first four games. So that's my
Speaker 4: thought process in changing the dynamics of the bottom of
Speaker 4: the order. And mister october Keike Hernandez, he made a
Speaker 4: nice catch over the left field short wall. But he's
Speaker 4: three for sixteen in the World Series. But I will
Speaker 4: say this again, the narrative changes with one hit. At
Speaker 4: this time of the year. Eight six six seven two
Speaker 4: five seventy is the phone number before we get to
Speaker 4: the phone calls. Let's head downstairs to hear from Mookie
Speaker 4: Bets on Sports and at LA.
Speaker 2: I think he pitched a really good game. I mean,
Speaker 2: he kept it out at the middle of the plate.
Speaker 8: He pitched a really good game.
Speaker 2: You tip your cap to a really good picture with that.
Speaker 9: I mean, is there does it feel like I don't
Speaker 9: think it's pressure per se, but just kind of wanting
Speaker 9: to get things going offensively consistently.
Speaker 5: Is there everything amongst the group in that.
Speaker 2: No, I mean, I think it's just part of it.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think obviously we would love to score
Speaker 2: ten every game, but uh, that's not the case. And
Speaker 2: you know, like I said, we would love to get going,
Speaker 2: but you just have to play. And so it's all
Speaker 2: you have to do is just play and see what happens.
Speaker 2: Serious enough, Tie two too, like, how would you describe
Speaker 2: the way things.
Speaker 10: Have shifted them? Taken the first one?
Speaker 1: You guys taking two and three of them there on four.
Speaker 2: I mean it's a series and it's a seven game.
Speaker 2: That's why you play seven games. I mean, like I
Speaker 2: said before, man, they they're not in the World Series
Speaker 2: by luck. So they're really bo really good ball club for.
Speaker 8: You mentally emotional, what's kind of the next twenty four
Speaker 8: hours about?
Speaker 9: How do you how do you process so you're mentally
Speaker 9: ready tomorrow?
Speaker 2: Do the same thing I do every day. Just go
Speaker 2: to sleep, do my homework, and uh come to the
Speaker 2: park right and hang out with the boys and get
Speaker 2: ready to play. I mean, there's no you can't do
Speaker 2: more ad extra stuff to this. It's's it's ourry enough,
Speaker 2: so we can't add more to yourself.
Speaker 4: All right, there's MOOKI bets and look, maybe a phone
Speaker 4: call the JD Martinez could help because JD helped get
Speaker 4: his season going in the last sixty games, and you
Speaker 4: know they had a batting cage cam on the Fox
Speaker 4: Sports National broadcast during last night's game tonight's game, and
Speaker 4: MOOKI was in that cage. If there's one thing you
Speaker 4: don't have to worry about when it comes to Mookie Bets,
Speaker 4: it's a lack of work ethic and determination to try
Speaker 4: to fix things. And hopefully he can do that because
Speaker 4: they need him. It's a big enough sample size now,
Speaker 4: Mookie Bets, in his last thirty four at bats in
Speaker 4: the postseason, has one extra base hit. He's three for
Speaker 4: nineteen in this World Series. Eight six six nine eight
Speaker 4: seven two five seventy is the phone number. I know
Speaker 4: this Dodger offense didn't give fans a lot to cheer for,
Speaker 4: but if you're coming to the game tomorrow fifty thousand
Speaker 4: and plus, you gotta be a little bit louder. You're
Speaker 4: paying a lot of money for these tickets. Make yourself
Speaker 4: be heard. Let's go out to Mike, who is at
Speaker 4: Dodgers Stadium, to the MI Mike, you were at Dodger
Speaker 4: Stadium tonight, tell us what was going on. And you
Speaker 4: know you can't just wait for the Dodgers to entertain you.
Speaker 4: You gotta be that tenth.
Speaker 11: Man well, hey, look, I didn't go to the last
Speaker 11: night's game, yesterday's game, but I was there tonight and
Speaker 11: I was there early. My son took me. First time
Speaker 11: I've ever been in the World Series, so I was excited.
Speaker 11: I was astounded by how the crowd was so quiet
Speaker 11: after the first inning. It was like a morgue. I
Speaker 11: was like, where's the where's the spirit? Where's and the
Speaker 11: pace announcer was trying to get everybody going, but they
Speaker 11: seen everybody seem flat, from the players to the audience.
Speaker 11: Everyone was real flat. And I want to say some
Speaker 11: deep days. You's some really good points about them not
Speaker 11: scoring an he runs, you hit us, some key issues
Speaker 11: about Mookie and maybe Roberts needs to shake the lineup
Speaker 11: up a little bit. Look, Will Smith's a great hitter,
Speaker 11: and he takes a lot of pitches and he squares
Speaker 11: up on the ball. Why don't we move Will up
Speaker 11: a little bit, maybe push Mookie Donald spot or two.
Speaker 11: I mean, just to try to shake up the lineup
Speaker 11: and do something to wake these guys up. Other than
Speaker 11: Will Freddie Freeman's hitting the ball pretty good. And uh,
Speaker 11: you know Otani, the poor guy. I felt for him.
Speaker 11: He looked tired. To me, he looked tired, and would
Speaker 11: I would be tired. What the hell you're out there
Speaker 11: extra innings? Give me all you got, and he's still
Speaker 11: running the bases and he goes and pitches. It was
Speaker 11: it was very disappointing to see the fans not trying
Speaker 11: to be a little bit more involved. I've lost my
Speaker 11: voice screaming, but I.
Speaker 1: Could hear it.
Speaker 4: I can hear it. I think you brought up some
Speaker 4: good points, Mike. I think you brought up some good points.
Speaker 4: Rest that voice, and don't lose faith. The Dodgers have
Speaker 4: three more chances to win two more games, and Snell Zilla,
Speaker 4: trust me, is not going to have two clunkers in
Speaker 4: the World Series.
Speaker 11: Well, Dave, I believe in the Dodgers. I'm sixty seven
Speaker 11: years old. I've seen them win and I've seen them lose,
Speaker 11: and I'm gonna stick with my Dodgers all the way
Speaker 11: through this two twenty twenty five season. We're gonna pull
Speaker 11: this out. These guys will come.
Speaker 1: Through, all right, Mike, thank you for the phone call.
Speaker 4: I have no doubt Blake Snell is going to have
Speaker 4: a much better start than he did in Game one.
Speaker 4: The Dodgers just need to get this offense going. Let's
Speaker 4: go out to Felix, who also was at Dodgers Stadium tonight. Felix,
Speaker 4: should I blame you for the flat crowd tonight?
Speaker 12: Thanks?
Speaker 13: I don't think I'm going to blame but thanks to Yeah.
Speaker 13: I also wanted to comment on that, if I'm.
Speaker 4: Going to call out mookie bets, and if I'm going
Speaker 4: to call out Andy Pie has some mookie bets, maybe
Speaker 4: I should call out Felix.
Speaker 1: At Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 3: I didn't have a bat in my hands, but.
Speaker 12: So I think.
Speaker 13: One of the things that I do agree that the
Speaker 13: atmosphere was flat. I know that that's not the reason
Speaker 13: why we lost the game, but I think it still matters.
Speaker 13: And part of the reason why I think the atmosphere
Speaker 13: was flat was I think that there wasn't a lot
Speaker 13: of room for more natural like interaction between the crowd
Speaker 13: and what was going on in the game. Granted, like
Speaker 13: you said, the Dodgers' offense really gave us a whole
Speaker 13: lot to cheer about, but I think I feel like
Speaker 13: the in stadium entertainment was a little over manufactured, overproduced,
Speaker 13: and it didn't really leave room for the crowd to
Speaker 13: more organically respond to what was happening on the field
Speaker 13: or build up tension.
Speaker 12: And to that.
Speaker 13: So yeah, there tonight, all.
Speaker 1: Right, Felix, that's fair.
Speaker 4: I like the organic crowd being able to crescendo at
Speaker 4: a certain point.
Speaker 1: I'm with you.
Speaker 4: Eight six, six, nine eighty seven two five seventy is
Speaker 4: the phone number. Dodgers lose Game four the World Series
Speaker 4: six to two to the Blue Jays. This World Series
Speaker 4: is evened up at two games a piece. Let's head
Speaker 4: back downstairs to the press conference room to hear from
Speaker 4: Sho Hao Tani, who has done almost everything in his
Speaker 4: power to will the Dodgers to wins in this fall classic.
Speaker 14: How many hours of sleep did you get last night?
Speaker 14: What time did you get to bed? And did you
Speaker 14: feel any differently today on the mound that you do
Speaker 14: during a normal start?
Speaker 5: Thank you myself?
Speaker 10: Certain second?
Speaker 15: Al right, man, slept at two a m felt pretty
Speaker 15: good about, you know, being able to have quality sleep.
Speaker 1: And yeah, and then did you you felt about the
Speaker 1: same as you normally.
Speaker 14: Do during a start.
Speaker 15: Hi day, Yes, I was able to get on the
Speaker 15: mound in pretty good condition about six rows.
Speaker 14: Back on your in the right center, Fabian, Yeah, Showy,
Speaker 14: why do you think you guys as an offense maybe
Speaker 14: haven't quite been able to click in October quite like
Speaker 14: you were able to during the regular season.
Speaker 8: Posted.
Speaker 15: Uh, I mean, we're facing quality arms this time of
Speaker 15: the year against really good teams, and we're facing the
Speaker 15: top of the you know, the best of the best,
Speaker 15: So I think it's not that easy. But at the
Speaker 15: same time, we could do, you know, at least the
Speaker 15: bare minimum.
Speaker 9: And uh to be able to put up some runs
Speaker 9: tours behind the last bill and.
Speaker 16: The last night was a weird game because of all
Speaker 16: the intentional walks. But generally, what are the differences that
Speaker 16: you find in how teams pitch you when the guys
Speaker 16: ahead of you get on base as opposed to tonight
Speaker 16: when they don't get on base.
Speaker 10: Socially, not even.
Speaker 15: Regardless of postseason, regular season. I think when there's guys
Speaker 15: on bass versus not on bass, you're just gonna just see, uh,
Speaker 15: just different ways of being attacked. But my my approach
Speaker 15: is pretty simple. You know, I swing as strikes and
Speaker 15: don't swing at balls, and that's how I evaluate myself.
Speaker 4: There you go, right there, show hail Tani said it
Speaker 4: in a non critical way when there are runners on
Speaker 4: base for him, he gets pitched differently. We saw that
Speaker 4: in the postseason last year, and we're not just seeing
Speaker 4: and we're not seeing it consistently this year.
Speaker 1: Also, he said, he went to bed at two a m.
Speaker 4: Hey, thank you, show hey for sticking around for Dodger
Speaker 4: Talk because that's the time and we ended the show
Speaker 4: last or this morning, So show hey listen to Dodger
Speaker 4: Talk and said two am.
Speaker 1: That's it, lights out, So thank you.
Speaker 4: Otani Son eight six six nine eighty seven, two five
Speaker 4: seventy is the phone number. Let's go out to Mike
Speaker 4: who is at Dodger Stadium tonight. How about that, Mike
Speaker 4: Ohtani listened to Dodger Talk and went to sleep after that.
Speaker 17: Hey, if I'm listening, Dave Otani should be listening.
Speaker 1: Seriously, Thank you Mike.
Speaker 17: Uh yeah, Dave listen. You know, as always, everything you're
Speaker 17: saying is totally valid. Both the atmosphere at the stadium
Speaker 17: tonight and and the team isself. But I'm not I'm
Speaker 17: not a basher, and I'm also a positive person and
Speaker 17: I'm upbeat. We live it last night, we'll come back tomorrow.
Speaker 12: We're going to win.
Speaker 17: So I'm not worried about that when I want to
Speaker 17: change up tiny bit real quick. I just want to
Speaker 17: give a huge shout out to our radio broadcast through crew,
Speaker 17: your your friends, Stephen Nelson and Rick Monday. I've had
Speaker 17: a chance to listen a few snippets of other teams
Speaker 17: postseason calls, other teams that the announcers are really just
Speaker 17: playing it up for the home crowd. Our guys are
Speaker 17: baseball fans. I listened to Stephen Nelson. I was on
Speaker 17: the way to the game that I was late because
Speaker 17: I had to finish work. I heard Gladdie's home run
Speaker 17: tonight off the show. Hey Steven Nelson, you could hear
Speaker 17: that he's still excited you so, I know you know
Speaker 17: it's not a good Dodger moment, but you could hear
Speaker 17: that he's excited for an exciting postseason moment. And that's
Speaker 17: what That's what fans should be listening to great radio
Speaker 17: calls by great broadcasters. I think we have the best,
Speaker 17: the best home broadcasters in the business. He's your boys
Speaker 17: on AM five seventy and I love listening to it.
Speaker 1: You guys are amazing, awesome. Mike, thank you for the
Speaker 1: phone call.
Speaker 4: And I actually believe that Steven Nelson had a great
Speaker 4: call on the Freddie Freeman walk off home run. He
Speaker 4: should be really proud of that one. Thank you, Mike
Speaker 4: for the compliments. I'm sure Rick Monday and Steven Nelson
Speaker 4: will well. Steven probably will replay that and post it
Speaker 4: on his Instagram tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Eight six six nine.
Speaker 4: Eighty seven two five seventy is the phone number Dodgers
Speaker 4: fall to the Blue Jays in Game four of the
Speaker 4: World Series six to two, less than twenty four hours
Speaker 4: after beating the Blue Jays in Game three of the
Speaker 4: World Series in eighteen innings and coming up later in
Speaker 4: the show, I have a great story for you that
Speaker 4: Mark Pryor relayed to me as far as what was
Speaker 4: happening in the dugout between him and Yamamoto as Yamamoto
Speaker 4: forced his way to warm up for a possible nineteenth
Speaker 4: inning in Game three. Eight six six nine eighty seven,
Speaker 4: two five seventy is the phone number speaking of Mark Pryor.
Speaker 4: He also lives in San Diego. Not sure if this
Speaker 4: is him Mark in San Diego. You're on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 1: How you doing.
Speaker 12: I'm okay, Dave, not Mark Pryor.
Speaker 7: First of all, thank you for speaking the truth about
Speaker 7: where this organization is with Mookie at the moment and
Speaker 7: with the spies. These are two things that have been
Speaker 7: just punching this organization in the face over the last
Speaker 7: couple of theories, and it's making it really difficult to
Speaker 7: sit here and watch them make these decisions without without
Speaker 7: making some changes. Please bear with me here on the
Speaker 7: my thoughts on the seventh inning. I'm sure you, like me,
Speaker 7: thought Showhey was not going to be returning to the
Speaker 7: mound for the sixth.
Speaker 1: I actually thought he would after he retired them in order.
Speaker 4: I was all in with Otani going back out for
Speaker 4: the seventh considering how many pitchers the Dodgers used yesterday
Speaker 4: and the limited number of relievers that were available to
Speaker 4: Dave Roberts.
Speaker 1: So no, we disagree on that, but go ahead.
Speaker 7: Oh okay, that's where we will disagree. Then I was
Speaker 7: shocked to see him. I'm out to the mound and
Speaker 7: the seventh.
Speaker 3: Much, thank you.
Speaker 4: So what else was your issue with the seventh I honestly,
Speaker 4: Mark Mark the way things were playing out and have
Speaker 4: played out last night and tonight, with how many relievers
Speaker 4: Dave Roberts used.
Speaker 1: We know that the Dodger's strength as their starting pitching.
Speaker 4: O'tani had just used a minimum number of pitches to
Speaker 4: retire the Jayson order, the meat of their order, and
Speaker 4: I had no issues with him coming out for the
Speaker 4: seventh and going batter to batter. I'm a big fan
Speaker 4: of that at that stage of the game, going batter
Speaker 4: to batter. But I know where you're going with this,
Speaker 4: and I agree the Dodgers have got to realize that. Unfortunately,
Speaker 4: Blake Trining was used to the max last year and
Speaker 4: he's just not the same guy this season, hasn't been
Speaker 4: all year.
Speaker 1: At some point, there's got to be a realization of that.
Speaker 12: Thank you, that right there tells me that, Dave, And
Speaker 12: I'm sorry, but I will say this.
Speaker 1: Mark, Mark.
Speaker 4: I will say this in defense of Dave Roberts. Blake
Speaker 4: Trenton was one of those handful of relievers that were
Speaker 4: available because he hardly threw any pitches last night, so
Speaker 4: there really wasn't too many other directions he could go
Speaker 4: in after Banda right there. So it's hard for me
Speaker 4: to criticize him bringing in Trenton. I'm just stating a fact.
Speaker 4: You know, moving forward, this was out of necessity. Mark
Speaker 4: is what I'm trying.
Speaker 12: To say, when you talk to Dave tomorrow, can you
Speaker 12: ask him his thought process on his belief in Snell tomorrow?
Speaker 7: Which I'm an agreeance with you here. I think Snell
Speaker 7: is going to have a hell of a game tomorrow,
Speaker 7: and I do think they went tomorrow. I'm just wondering
Speaker 7: if you or someone else can ask Dave, what is
Speaker 7: your thought process, what's your thought process there of going
Speaker 7: with Blake that point in time when the game is
Speaker 7: still not out of hand, and this is a World
Speaker 7: Series game.
Speaker 4: Because who else? Who else are they going to go to?
Speaker 4: I mean, they didn't have anybody else. He used Jack
Speaker 4: Dryer to finish the game. That's what I'm trying to
Speaker 4: explain to you, Mark, And part of the reason why
Speaker 4: o'tani went back out there for the seventh inning, he
Speaker 4: didn't have anybody else.
Speaker 1: That's my point.
Speaker 4: But moving forward in the series, if you have other options,
Speaker 4: and I do believe it, Blake Trining in a high
Speaker 4: leverage spot, especially with runners on base, is not the guy,
Speaker 4: and I just believe tonight was out of necessity. I
Speaker 4: got a run, Mark, we got a full boarder calls.
Speaker 4: I'm glad we could talk each other through that seventh inning.
Speaker 4: Eight six six, nine, seven two five seventy is the
Speaker 4: phone number. Look, this isn't a video game. These are
Speaker 4: real guys, and as we saw in the LCS last
Speaker 4: year and the World Series last year as well, you've
Speaker 4: got to think about winning four games, not trying to
Speaker 4: just win that game that night, especially when you have
Speaker 4: a two games to one lead and you used your
Speaker 4: entire bullpen. Will Klein, I hate to break this to you,
Speaker 4: after a career high seventy two pitches and four innings
Speaker 4: last night is not going to be able to be
Speaker 4: used again tonight. Emmit Sheen was not going to be
Speaker 4: available today, So you got to take that into account.
Speaker 4: Roki Sasaki twenty nine pitches last night, fourteen of them
Speaker 4: were strikes, was not going to be used in that
Speaker 4: situation in the seventh innings. So there's a thought process
Speaker 4: to this, and there's a reality that those guys are
Speaker 4: human beings and you're going to need them tomorrow. Now
Speaker 4: you're going to need them game six as well. Eight
Speaker 4: six six nine, eight seven, two five seventy is the
Speaker 4: phone number, Tony. Was that Dodger Stadium tonight? What section
Speaker 4: were you in Tony, and do you feel compelled to
Speaker 4: call out your section for being flat tonight at Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna call it. I'm gonna call the whole stadium.
Speaker 3: I David David. First of all, I gotta say, you know,
Speaker 3: you and I have about the same age, man, and
Speaker 3: I'm so jealous of you. Could fan no thirty five?
Speaker 3: Come on that, they'll go with thirty five. I'm going
Speaker 3: thirty five. But you and I both know the truth.
Speaker 3: But I was sitting you know, I got I've been
Speaker 3: fortunate to gone to every World Series of Dodge I've
Speaker 3: been in since nineteen eighty one with the et cetera.
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty. You know, seventeen and eighteen killed us. But
Speaker 3: you know even seventeen, you know we were loud and
Speaker 3: I haven't sid in the pavilion. I was in left
Speaker 3: field pavilion. You know, I was out there three eleven.
Speaker 11: That was that.
Speaker 3: There was a handful of J fans out there. How
Speaker 3: could you have J fans? You know own your house.
Speaker 3: You know this is not ring ball, and it killed
Speaker 3: me today because it's people on their phones that Instagram,
Speaker 3: chasing the media. You're out the game, you know, let's
Speaker 3: live it. My boy got to see his first playoff
Speaker 3: game and it was that Otani game, and he was,
Speaker 3: you know, seven year old boy was just in all
Speaker 3: what was going on? But speaking of a Tani And
Speaker 3: like I said, fans, get out there, you pay your money.
Speaker 3: They said it himself, you know, get out there and
Speaker 3: cheer for our guys. We got baseball for what hopefully
Speaker 3: game six, we win it and that's it. But that's it.
Speaker 3: We have to wait till twenty twenty six see baseball again.
Speaker 3: If you're out the stadium tomorrow, you need to get
Speaker 3: up off your feet and just cheer for our guys.
Speaker 3: They live off of that. You know, we had that
Speaker 3: first we were up by head day. We should have
Speaker 3: swamped the Jays and just drowns them out after our
Speaker 3: first home run. You know, I thought I was watching
Speaker 3: golf the people.
Speaker 4: I thought Tony golf collapse. And you have the greatest
Speaker 4: baseball player on the planet pitching. It doesn't just have
Speaker 4: to be offense to get you riled up and on
Speaker 4: your feet. That's that's what really stood out to me.
Speaker 4: It's not like it was, you know, no no disrespect.
Speaker 4: It wasn't just another guy on the mound. It was
Speaker 4: sho Hao Tani, one of the top four athletes on
Speaker 4: the planet right now, Tony, And maybe he could have
Speaker 4: used a little extra bump because he was coming off
Speaker 4: eighteen innings. So I'm with you, Tony. You can't take
Speaker 4: this for granted, you really can't. And I hope Dodger
Speaker 4: fans are not spoiled.
Speaker 5: No, and we are.
Speaker 3: That's the thing.
Speaker 10: Do we need this.
Speaker 3: I don't want to lose this yet.
Speaker 11: I want to go back to back and get it,
Speaker 11: you know.
Speaker 3: Get a dynasty with three. But I'm gonna tell you this.
Speaker 3: I was suck and guest seeing h show hey coming
Speaker 3: in to day, I go, hey, maybe maybe we bring
Speaker 3: a smell of the day and and and show he
Speaker 3: pitches tomorrow. But show hey, what's two for one for truck?
Speaker 3: He was throwing one ball back?
Speaker 13: Come on.
Speaker 3: He was great games. He was great tonight. But we
Speaker 3: had no bets. We had cherial bats.
Speaker 4: And that's the bats where the bats were consato. And
Speaker 4: it was siesta time at Dodger Stadium. Tony, everybody's got
Speaker 4: to wake up the bats and the fans tomorrow night
Speaker 4: for Game five of the World Series. Gotta run, Tony
Speaker 4: thank you for calling in love the energy, want more
Speaker 4: Tony's at Dodgers Stadium tomorrow night eight six six seven
Speaker 4: two five seventy is the phone number. We have a
Speaker 4: full board of calls. When we come back, we'll get
Speaker 4: to you and we'll also check in with Jose Mota.
Speaker 4: Plus you'll hear from Max Mounthsey and maybe maybe if
Speaker 4: I'm feeling in the Bieber mood, we'll hear from Shane Bieber.
Speaker 4: But we want to get to you. We want to
Speaker 4: hear from the Dodgers. As this World series is evened
Speaker 4: up at two. The Dodgers aren't down in this World series.
Speaker 4: It's an even world series. And that's the reality when
Speaker 4: you don't have home field advantage. And if you would
Speaker 4: have won one more game, you would have had Game
Speaker 4: six in Game seven at Dodgers Stadium. Instead, those will
Speaker 4: be played in Canada. The Blue Jays defeat the Dodgers
Speaker 4: six to two on a five to seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 5: On air at AM five seventy, online at AM five

Speaker 18: The next pitch from show Hey will be number ninety
Speaker 18: trying to finish the six the two to two come in.
Speaker 18: Oh even a miss strike pray strikeout number six, end
Speaker 18: hitting number six. Shoe hey, Old Tony keeping the Dodgers.
Speaker 4: In Game four, show Hey Otani trying to will the
Speaker 4: Dodgers to victory again.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately he couldnt do it.
Speaker 4: He emptied the tank got into the seventh inning, but
Speaker 4: the Blue Jays scored four runs and beat the Dodgers
Speaker 4: in Game four of the World Series by a final
Speaker 4: score of six to two. My guy, Brad Paisley was
Speaker 4: in the house again tonight. He did not perform the
Speaker 4: national anthem. That's why this game did not go to
Speaker 4: extra innings. But it is Brad's birthday and he was
Speaker 4: looking forward to two wins on his birthday, October twenty eighth. Unfortunately,
Speaker 4: the Dodgers did not get it for him, But happy birthday,
Speaker 4: Brad Paisley. Daniels Jewelers presents the home run forecast go
Speaker 4: to AM five to seventy. Lasports dot Com used the
Speaker 4: keyword home run for your chance to win a fifty
Speaker 4: dollars Daniels Jeweler's gift card predicting the number of home
Speaker 4: runs in the very next game, Daniels Jewelers own the dream.
Speaker 5: It's time to go around the horn with Jose Moga.
Speaker 4: All right, Jose, I want to get to the offense.
Speaker 4: I want to get to possible lineup changes. But we
Speaker 4: have to celebrate show he Otani, who tried to do
Speaker 4: everything in his power again tonight to win a World
Speaker 4: Series game for the Dodgers. What did you see from
Speaker 4: the picture Otani tonight?
Speaker 10: Very simple? The picture shoil Tani gave his team a
Speaker 10: chance to win today, the picture sho Heil Tani, even
Speaker 10: though with heavy legs, you know, by getting on begs
Speaker 10: nine times yesterday and all that went on yesterday, historical
Speaker 10: lead was out there on top of his game. The
Speaker 10: Shohil Tani the picture today, Dave Vess was not chasing
Speaker 10: Shotkeounts until it was time to chase Sikeounts. In otherwise,
Speaker 10: he was a complete pitcher who gave me every single chance.
Speaker 10: And I'm gonna go to this too. His line made
Speaker 10: show you Toni, it.
Speaker 12: Was okay yesterday.
Speaker 10: You know what, It's not fair to say that Shoti
Speaker 10: gave the team a chance. Yes, that's a couple of
Speaker 10: guys aboard the Jay's got to with a couple of
Speaker 10: batters in the cemetery, but we also got to pay
Speaker 10: attention to Davis, the inherited runner scored. They continue to
Speaker 10: be a problem here Nod was showing, but with guys
Speaker 10: that need to go out there and shut that to
Speaker 10: minnings and are not getting it done in case Banda
Speaker 10: and Tron, And it happened again here tonight, without a doubt.
Speaker 4: That's a big part of being a relief pitcher, stranding
Speaker 4: inherited runners, and that just hasn't happened. And we all
Speaker 4: know Alex Vessi is going through stuff with his family,
Speaker 4: but that would have been a spot where he would
Speaker 4: have come in and he has done such a great job.
Speaker 4: And the Dodgers miss Alex Vesia, but obviously going through
Speaker 4: bigger things in baseball. Now, I'm wondering Hoose a lot
Speaker 4: of times, even though we may see ninety seven or
Speaker 4: ninety eight, when a picture is fatigued, does that affect
Speaker 4: his command with his fastball? And do you believe that
Speaker 4: maybe fatigue was part of the reason why Otani did
Speaker 4: not have consistent command of his fastball tonight?
Speaker 10: Yes, I think so, because if you consider how your
Speaker 10: body works. When you're pitching, when you're hitting, everything's built
Speaker 10: from the bottom up, and it doesn't matter what you
Speaker 10: do and how strong you are at the top. If
Speaker 10: your bottom is not where it needs to be coordinated
Speaker 10: with strength and quick twitch is not going to be
Speaker 10: there from the top. His fastl did have but nineties
Speaker 10: ninety nine, but sometimes it just did not have that carry,
Speaker 10: you know, the lake's little zip the life late in
Speaker 10: the zone when ninety nine looks like one o two.
Speaker 10: But nonetheless, I'll want to I don't want to take
Speaker 10: anything away from what he did tonight because what he
Speaker 10: did was just enough to win a ball game. But
Speaker 10: certainly days, to answer your question directly, yes, a lot
Speaker 10: of times fatigue can be influential. And two things that
Speaker 10: are very important to save your health is if your
Speaker 10: mechanic get out of whack, your arms just out of whack,
Speaker 10: and that causes injuries when you tire, which you don't
Speaker 10: notice until later. And then if you try to force velocity,
Speaker 10: it also turns off your mechanics, so you have it's
Speaker 10: a double edged sword. But you got to just make
Speaker 10: sure that show has told me before when he's been
Speaker 10: tired before. If I keep consistency, AMA mechanics and how
Speaker 10: to look for stricos or velocity. Things will look out well.
Speaker 10: And tonight, you know what, overall they worked out pretty well.
Speaker 4: All right, Let's turn our attention to the offense, because,
Speaker 4: like you said, Otani the pitcher gave Otani and the
Speaker 4: rest of the Dodger offense an opportunity to win this game.
Speaker 4: But the reality is, in the last twenty innings the
Speaker 4: Dodgers have played, they have only scored three runs. Mookie Bets,
Speaker 4: He's only three for nineteen in this World Series. Last
Speaker 4: night he had multiple opportunities to keep the line moving
Speaker 4: or even win the game. After Otani was intentionally walked
Speaker 4: four different times in extras and couldn't deliver. He has
Speaker 4: seven flyouts in the last two games. What do you
Speaker 4: see from mookie Bets and how does he get back
Speaker 4: to the mookie Bets we saw in the last fifty
Speaker 4: games of the regular season.
Speaker 10: The talent is still there, the pitch selection for the
Speaker 10: most part, is still there. But I just don't see
Speaker 10: the finish in that swing. You know, we saw conficily
Speaker 10: all through August in September. Now see got a loopy
Speaker 10: swing that we saw all throughout May. We saw it
Speaker 10: in June, we saw it in July. After the All
Speaker 10: Star break, you finally kind of start finding it. His
Speaker 10: hands dragged a little bit too much sometimes has nothing
Speaker 10: to do with fatigue, I think as a matter of
Speaker 10: just sometimes even front of it too much when you
Speaker 10: got a guy being watched in front of you or
Speaker 10: being pitched around to get to you. And I think
Speaker 10: it's great, Dave, that guys personal. I think God should
Speaker 10: take it personal to say, Hey, I don't want the
Speaker 10: guy in front of me to beat me, to beat you,
Speaker 10: but you want me to go out.
Speaker 12: And take a chance.
Speaker 10: Take it personal, but stay under control and keep in
Speaker 10: mind that even though the moment calls for you, it's
Speaker 10: not just about you. You got to be able to
Speaker 10: take walks and put the ball in play and think
Speaker 10: about line drives. But Muki needs good just a little
Speaker 10: bit shorter. It's not about the short hitting, it's not
Speaker 10: about going to the case, it's not about anything else.
Speaker 10: As he himself said after this game, it's about consistency
Speaker 10: and swinging a strikes and one day you've done it before.
Speaker 10: But don't make the moment too big.
Speaker 1: Do you believes is starting in center field tomorrow.
Speaker 10: Surely I hope the Honty Pie's is not starting your
Speaker 10: center field tomorrow because Anti Piez is now four for
Speaker 10: fifty in the postseason. Anti Piez is all three eleven
Speaker 10: when winning the scoring position. And then we talk about
Speaker 10: man on right, A slugging team does not have to
Speaker 10: wait for guys to be in scoring position to have
Speaker 10: a better chance. A slugging team like the Dodgers, the manuye.
Speaker 10: You get the first place as what you are in
Speaker 10: scoring position, and in that situation right now, Piez is
Speaker 10: one for twenty two. It is not getting it done.
Speaker 9: And when you.
Speaker 10: Face good pitching as you're going to face all throughout
Speaker 10: the next few games, again, they don't like for you
Speaker 10: to battle at bats as the Jays are doing. Okay,
Speaker 10: dogs is not liking that very much, right well, throw
Speaker 10: it at them too. So you need guys are at
Speaker 10: least going to give you the option to number one
Speaker 10: put the ball in play. Number two be good situational hitters,
Speaker 10: a number three battle a deep at bat, understanding your
Speaker 10: situation in the position of the game, and without you
Speaker 10: know what, Roberts, he does have some options. But right now,
Speaker 10: if you think about energy and you talk about just
Speaker 10: the body language right now. For me, it's a guy
Speaker 10: that you don't want to wait until it's too late
Speaker 10: here in the next couple of games. So make ald
Speaker 10: change as they did in twenty twenty three when they
Speaker 10: play kick in game number three in Arizona. If you
Speaker 10: do it now, you get his mind off the game.
Speaker 10: If you need him again, play him in Toronto. At certainty,
Speaker 10: I think he can really benefit from just not being
Speaker 10: on the field tomorrow. That's my opinion, all.
Speaker 1: Right, Jose, We'll see what happens on Snail' Zilla day.
Speaker 4: The Dodgers need to win this game because that would
Speaker 4: be tough to have to win two up in Toronto,
Speaker 4: and they certainly have the opportunity in front of themselves.
Speaker 1: Can't wait to see it back at the ballpark tomorrow night.
Speaker 10: Gonna be great, Snails, It's gonna be great. And now
Speaker 10: the offense, just give him enough to work with. Any'll
Speaker 10: secure business.
Speaker 1: No doubt. There he goes.
Speaker 4: Jose Mota, part of the Dodgers Spanish radio broadcast with
Speaker 4: Luis krue Eight six six eight seven two five seventy
Speaker 4: is the phone number. Dodgers lose Game four the World
Speaker 4: Series to the Blue Jays by a final score of
Speaker 4: six to two. Vladimir Guerrero Junior had a two run
Speaker 4: home run off a show Hey Otani early in this game,
Speaker 4: back in the third inning, a go ahead two run
Speaker 4: home run on a sweeper that didn't sweep. And that
Speaker 4: was basically the only mistake that Otani the pitcher made tonight.
Speaker 4: Shane Bieber, I thought the Dodgers would get to him,
Speaker 4: and they never made adjustments. They were impatient, they were
Speaker 4: chasing pitches outside of the strike zone. And Bieber beats
Speaker 4: Otani in Game four of the World Series. Eight six six,
Speaker 4: eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. Let's
Speaker 4: go out to Rudy and Van Eyes. You're on Dodger
Speaker 4: Talk live from Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 3: Hi, Rudy, Hey.
Speaker 10: David, Hey David.
Speaker 19: It's it's the same story, David. The pitching has been
Speaker 19: saving the Dogs, even in last year's World Series. I
Speaker 19: called in earlier and you've made a lot of points,
Speaker 19: and and Mota said it with the pages switch out,
Speaker 19: we can't wait until it's an elimination game. If you're
Speaker 19: gonna make that kind of change, I think Rojas does
Speaker 19: huge things. He's apparently the only one on the team
Speaker 19: that can bunt, which was huge yesterday.
Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, and the only person that's stealing.
Speaker 19: The only person that's stealing is Showhey or Freddy. That's
Speaker 19: you know we got We just got to get guys
Speaker 19: in scoring because.
Speaker 4: Yeah, hey, that's a great point. Hey, Rudy, that's a
Speaker 4: great point. When your offense is struggling, you got to
Speaker 4: start putting runners in motion. But the only issue is
Speaker 4: you got to get runners on to put them in motion,
Speaker 4: and we're not seeing.
Speaker 1: A lot of that.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean I I'm all in favor of that.
Speaker 4: First and second less than two outs. Let's start putting
Speaker 4: guys in motion to create some holes in the infield.
Speaker 4: But the Rodgers have got to do something. I'm with
Speaker 4: you right now. It's not working. They got to jumpstart
Speaker 4: this offense before it's too late. Thanks for the phone call, Rudy,
Speaker 4: appreciate it. Eight sixty six nine eight seven two five
Speaker 4: seventy is the phone number. Let's head downstairs again to
Speaker 4: the Dodger clubhouse to hear from Max Munsey, who also
Speaker 4: is struggling in this world series three for seventeen in
Speaker 4: the first four games, but he does have a big
Speaker 4: home run and that came in game two.
Speaker 1: Max, how much of.
Speaker 6: The mental and physical fatigue of going eighteen Ning's last
Speaker 6: night you think played into tonight.
Speaker 13: I don't think any.
Speaker 6: We just play didn't play our best game and gotta
Speaker 6: punched the mouth little you guys at work period, How.
Speaker 1: Do you guys kind of reset?
Speaker 6: Obviously, it's been a crazy twenty four hours, really high highs,
Speaker 6: low lows that you ground yourself for a game five,
Speaker 6: it's another game. It's a zero zero score. I say
Speaker 6: it every single night. Nothing that happens the night before
Speaker 6: has any effect on the next day. And so you know,
Speaker 6: we have another game.
Speaker 5: You said you don't take the team factor in, but
Speaker 5: the show, Hey, playing all these team you know, based
Speaker 5: on I'm kind of having to come out and pitch
Speaker 5: in this seam and stuff.
Speaker 12: Do you think maybe he is patio those that special.
Speaker 6: You'd have to ask him, you know, I don't. I
Speaker 6: don't know how he's he's feeling. Obviously I didn't look
Speaker 6: at him, but you know, I can't speak for the guys,
Speaker 6: so you have to ask him up.
Speaker 10: Max.
Speaker 14: Obviously, you look at this now, it's best, you know,
Speaker 14: two out of three from the mental aspect and you
Speaker 14: where you guys care to go always at least play
Speaker 14: at least one game there.
Speaker 10: How do you look at it moving forward after after
Speaker 10: such an emotional win last time?
Speaker 6: We have we have one game series right now. We
Speaker 6: have a game tomorrow and that's what that's all we're
Speaker 6: focused on. We got to win, win tomorrow, and then
Speaker 6: we're worry about the rest off that. But as far
Speaker 6: as I'm concerned, we just have a one game series.
Speaker 9: Max.
Speaker 8: What has been challenging about this Blue Jays belp and
Speaker 8: some of.
Speaker 6: The different looks that they're able to get you, you know,
Speaker 6: there's just there's they're executing really well right now. We're
Speaker 6: not taking advantage of the few mistakes that they're making.
Speaker 6: And uh, you know, like I said, they're executing, and
Speaker 6: anytime the pitcher executes, it's gonna be a tough day.
Speaker 8: How does he just kind of look.
Speaker 7: At the parts of the offense right now when you
Speaker 7: guys are getting guys on base pretty consistently, been on
Speaker 7: the big cashing men as much Asimore.
Speaker 15: Not great.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we're just we're missing on the bigger opportunities. Myself included.
Speaker 6: I'm one of the big coprids of that. I've had
Speaker 6: some opportunities and I haven't cashed in, and uh, you know,
Speaker 6: we just we got we gotta get the big hit.
Speaker 1: Hey love hearing that from Max Muncie. That dude's very accountable.
Speaker 4: He is three for seventeen in this World Series, but
Speaker 4: has one of the bigger hits for the Dodger offense
Speaker 4: so far in the first four games. Let's not forget
Speaker 4: about him and Will Smith hitting big home runs to
Speaker 4: help the Dodgers win Game two the night that Yamamoto
Speaker 4: pitched a complete game up there in Canada. Eight six
Speaker 4: six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number.
Speaker 4: Many people around baseball that I spoke to were surprised
Speaker 4: the Blue Jays won this game tonight. Virtually everybody I
Speaker 4: spoke to before the game that either played the game,
Speaker 4: coached the game, coaches, or plays currently thought the Dodgers
Speaker 4: would win this game tonight. This is one game that
Speaker 4: slipped through the Dodgers' fingers, and you just hope that
Speaker 4: it doesn't cost them a back to back World Series championship.
Speaker 4: This was a game the Dodgers should have won, make
Speaker 4: no mistake about it. I know the score is a
Speaker 4: little bit doesn't really tell the story. But this this
Speaker 4: was a game the Dodgers should have won. Eight six
Speaker 4: six nine seven two five seventy is the phone number.
Speaker 4: Let's go out to Echo Park.
Speaker 1: Ronnie. You're on Dodger Talk Live from Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 10: Hi Ronnie, Hi David. Good to hear from you again.
Speaker 11: Listen.
Speaker 9: There's two points that I want to bring up, one
Speaker 9: being this kind of after the game. There's a lot
Speaker 9: of criticism out there in social media, especially on show
Speaker 9: hal Tani of all people.
Speaker 4: Look, I mean, that's why social media is an idiot area.
Speaker 10: Oh, I'm talking about Fox Sports.
Speaker 9: They literally have a headline. Uh yeah, they have a
Speaker 9: headline of Vladdie's heroics, Otani to blame question Mark.
Speaker 1: Uh huh, Like, I don't know about that.
Speaker 10: Terrible.
Speaker 4: Let's just keep it right here in the real world.
Speaker 4: Social media is fake world. Let's keep it in exactly.
Speaker 9: I was at the game, so I mean, seeing what
Speaker 9: Otani's doing, not just in the World Series, but the
Speaker 9: entirety of.
Speaker 10: The postseason is unprecedented.
Speaker 9: The fact that people think that he has one tiny
Speaker 9: mistake or they're trying to look for one tiny mistake
Speaker 9: and then capitalize on that, like the dude it is
Speaker 9: pitching like an All Star, he's hitting at he's a
Speaker 9: one and one, you know, so they got to really
Speaker 9: forget that narrative O Tani. He can do no wrong.
Speaker 10: Basically in my opinion.
Speaker 9: And then the second thing, earlier I was listening, you
Speaker 9: were mentioning the crowd. I was in the pavilion, and man,
Speaker 9: I don't know what is up with like today's fandom,
Speaker 9: maybe again because of the social media aspect, but so
Speaker 9: many people on their phones.
Speaker 10: I mean, we need to get the crowd.
Speaker 19: Up, you know.
Speaker 12: We can't have the blue must be in La thing.
Speaker 4: Because in Toronto they were not on their phones. They
Speaker 4: were on their feet for both games, all nine innings.
Speaker 4: So I just hope Dodger fans aren't taking this for
Speaker 4: granted because this Dodger team is trying to make history
Speaker 4: to become one of the few teams to ever went
Speaker 4: back to back World Series championships and trying to become
Speaker 4: the first Dodger team ever to win the World Series
Speaker 4: Championship back to back years. And tonight is the anniversary
Speaker 4: of our very own Rick Monday's nineteen eighty one Dodgers
Speaker 4: beating the Yankees in Game six at Yankee Stadium for
Speaker 4: the World Series championship. Then, so congratulations, happy anniversary to
Speaker 4: those guys. Got to see Steve Garvey on the field
Speaker 4: earlier today and every night. It's awesome to learn baseball
Speaker 4: from Rick Munday, who has seen a lot of baseball
Speaker 4: and has crossed over a lot of generations. And I
Speaker 4: know we're wrapped up in this year's Dodger team and
Speaker 4: this generation of Dodgers, but what makes the Dodgers is
Speaker 4: the great players and the great teams that has made.
Speaker 1: This franchise the jewel franchise in all.
Speaker 4: Of Major League Baseball, and teams like the eighty one
Speaker 4: Dodgers went through a lot of heartache to be able
Speaker 4: to win that one, losing to the Yankees, and back
Speaker 4: to back years in seventy seven and seventy eight losing
Speaker 4: to the Astros in eighty You can't take this for
Speaker 4: granted that the World Series is going to be here
Speaker 4: every year. That's just not the reality of things. Eight six, six, nine,
Speaker 4: eight seven, two, five, seventy is the phone number. Let's
Speaker 4: go out to Beverly Hills, Leon, You're on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 12: How you doing Leon, Hey, Dave, how's it going.
Speaker 8: I actually have to come clean on something first. Had
Speaker 8: called you previous about my questioning of just how cletch
Speaker 8: OTAWNI might be, you know, doing really well when the
Speaker 8: team was up three zero in games or when we're
Speaker 8: you know, down big in a game kind of game,
Speaker 8: already already over garbage time type of stats. But he's
Speaker 8: definitely proven otherwise. I know tonight he didn't do it
Speaker 8: at the plate, But I got to come queen on
Speaker 8: that one first before I make my other point, which
Speaker 8: is to actually back you up on Miguel Rojas. I'll
Speaker 8: take it a step further. Miguel Rojas, to me, is
Speaker 8: one of the character guys on this team, and he's
Speaker 8: proven to be a leader on and off the field.
Speaker 8: And for me, it was shocking to see him fall
Speaker 8: out of the rotation. I thought maybe it was an injury,
Speaker 8: but apparently not because he was playing last night. So
Speaker 8: I would take it a step further to say, even
Speaker 8: if it means Edmund sitting for the start of the
Speaker 8: game tomorrow, I would be in favor of Rojas starting
Speaker 8: for him, and even call Star in center or being
Speaker 8: in the outfield. But to your point, I think the
Speaker 8: main point you're making is they need to shake up
Speaker 8: in the lineup, And my last point, I'm just saying.
Speaker 4: They want to get guys on base for Otani and
Speaker 4: turn the lineup over. And look, Leon Tommy Edmunds struggling,
Speaker 4: He's three for eighteen in the World Series. If the
Speaker 4: Dodgers want to go a defense, then Rojas at second
Speaker 4: and pa has in center. I'm not one hundred percent
Speaker 4: in on that, but I like Roja sitting nins, trying
Speaker 4: to do and understanding the role and understanding.
Speaker 1: Who he is. So I'm in on that. What's your
Speaker 1: other point, quickly?
Speaker 8: Sure, well he bat the two sixty two. But my
Speaker 8: other point, my last point was on the crowd. I
Speaker 8: wasn't there, And I have a theory that the composition
Speaker 8: of this of the World Series crowd is not the
Speaker 8: same composition it is during the regular season. Basically, the
Speaker 8: team that's priced out a lot of the real fans,
Speaker 8: the people that are in the stands. So the World
Speaker 8: Series might be the Instagram people might be the folks
Speaker 8: that are there that are that are just jumping on
Speaker 8: board to be there. So I really wonder if that
Speaker 8: might be part of the dynamic.
Speaker 9: I'm priced out.
Speaker 4: I think it's mixed in. I think it's mixed in.
Speaker 4: I think it's mixed in, definitely, Leona. The tickets are
Speaker 4: very expensive and on the secondary market, for sure. I
Speaker 4: think it's mixed in. I think it's a corporate event
Speaker 4: to a certain extent. And like you said, we had
Speaker 4: first hand accounts of people being on their phones. Maybe
Speaker 4: they're too busy trying to take selfies or pictures or
Speaker 4: filming instead of being a fan and cheering and just
Speaker 4: allowing yourself to be in the moment. We all get
Speaker 4: caught up in that, right If you go to a concert,
Speaker 4: you're filming, you know, the band that you're watching, the
Speaker 4: performer you're watching, instead of just enjoying the music and
Speaker 4: rocking out. I think we all get caught up on that.
Speaker 4: I've seen that happen at Laker games where everybody's just
Speaker 4: filming Lebron James instead of being a fan and cheering
Speaker 4: and getting crazy. I agree with you, I think that's
Speaker 4: part of it. But you know, they do have cell
Speaker 4: phones in Canada and that was a loud crowd. So
Speaker 4: we the Dodger fans tomorrow night in Game five have
Speaker 4: gonna come out and be a fan.
Speaker 1: Be a TikToker. After they have a four or five
Speaker 1: run lead.
Speaker 4: Blake Snell will be on the mound for the second
Speaker 4: time in this World Series, a rematch of Game one,
Speaker 4: going up against Trey y Savage. Y Savage only lasted
Speaker 4: four innings. The Dodgers got him out of that game,
Speaker 4: but didn't score enough runs off of him. They got
Speaker 4: a score off of you Savage in the process of
Speaker 4: getting him out of the game.
Speaker 1: Early Morongo Casino.
