And 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:03.760 I don't know how badly things have to go early 0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:07.080 to get the panic brothers to come out. I don't 0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:10.320 know how good things have to go early to get 0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:15.240 the nonchalance really flowing through people's veins. But Canada is 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:19.799 against us as Dodger people, and we are your Dodger station. 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:25.560 And don't let it, don't let it hinder your resolve 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:28.760 that it's not just a team or a city with 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:32.160 a stupid ass song that is against the Dodgers, but 0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:37.040 a whole country of Canucks from the north bearing down 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:40.440 our weight upon the city of Los Angeles. And we 0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:45.040 did do the geography yesterday, as we are well the demographics. 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:45.880 Yesterday, as we are experts. 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:49.640 Canada has one million more people than the whole state 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:50.639 of California. 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:52.279 They could crush us. 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:56.640 I don't think it could not much more I can 0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:59.600 pushback on now. I just feel like, you know, a 0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:01.720 lot of the guys, I. 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:04.320 Thought there were more people in LA than in all 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.919 of Canada, but that's not the case. There are more 0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:11.880 people in Canada than all of California. And then you know, 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:14.800 they could crush us and their weight with all that. 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:16.680 Tim Horton's real heavy. 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:18.200 It's all I'm trying to say. 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:19.680 Territories can really get you. 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:19.840 You know. 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:22.000 Yeah, they come down on your real hard with a 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:26.399 very harsh winter. So keep that in mind. Don't let 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:30.320 that shake your resolve, don't let that, don't let that 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:34.520 affect you and your ability to root the Dodgers on 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:39.040 while listening to Amy seventy LA Sports your home of 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:45.640 every pitch, every hit, every one of one, all season 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:51.360 long and now deep into the pro postseason. So we 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:53.080 got a lot. We have a lot of good energy. 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:56.080 We got a lot of dishes to wash. David Vassay 0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:58.520 is joining the show in the very next segment to 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:01.800 give us a scene set on what's going on out there. 0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:05.800 But right now brought to you by Concordia University Irvin's 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:06.840 Masters and Coaching. 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:13.120 It's it's yeah, We're three fun fun fact your final 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:16.760 hour fun fact. P Uh, you just mentioned it. With 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:22.520 the slightly more people, but they speak considerably more languages. 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:28.800 Toronto is the most linguistically diversed city in the world. 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:34.120 English the most common language about forty two percent. Right 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:39.080 behind that all Francis, but over one hundred and sixty 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:47.560 different languages are spoken in the city of Toronto, Italian, Chinese, 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:51.680 Cantonese three plus percent apiece. 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:56.080 So there you go. Very international city, Matt. A lot 0:04:56.080 --> 0:05:01.600 of international flema when it comes to the city of Toronto. 0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:03.800 And I should know Jabi two and a half percent. 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:05.440 I've been to the airport. 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:08.479 There is there an Eskimo or Inuit language, Matt, that 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:10.520 we don't know about. 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:14.040 I'm looking. I got uh, maybe that maybe that would 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:20.159 be Urdu at one point eight percent, very possible, just 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:22.640 ahead of Polish, at one point six percent. 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:27.280 Well, that brings us, Matt to the word of the day. 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:31.479 His words, the word of the day. 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:34.360 Today's word of the day is very much like today's 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:38.080 final hour fun fact. You inspired me, Matt. It's a 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:42.400 small world, after all. There is a truly international flavor 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:47.800 to this World Series. Of course, Canada's involved. 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:50.920 They just. 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:57.800 Revealed to you how many languages and how diverse the 0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:00.440 city of Toronto is in and of its elf. 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:02.719 Being in Canada. 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:07.599 At Rogers Center, they have poutine and gravy fries, which 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:10.200 seems difficult to navigate while you're at a ballgame. 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:15.360 But we're not Canadian. What do we know? And Matt, 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:19.919 there is none more. There is no less. 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:28.560 Than nine countries being represented on the field with players 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:31.880 in this World Series. There of course are players in 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:37.360 the US. Freddie Freeman's mom was from Toronto and his 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:41.159 dad is from Windsor, but he is not Canadian. But 0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:46.720 Vladimir Guerrero is. He represents Canada because his dad was 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:51.680 an expo when he was born. Plany and Japanese guys 0:06:51.960 --> 0:07:01.920 Otani Sasaki Yamamoto. Toronto's Alejandro Kirk is a Mexican. Toronto's 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:12.880 Andres Humanez is from Venezuela, Benezuela. Seem moo, that's where 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:21.960 they smoked those Belmont cigarettes. Hayes, I'm Kim South Korea, 0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:26.760 ta Oscar, amongst others Es Domnicano and I would have 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:29.440 not have known this if Tim Kates did not do 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:37.960 a Golden Mic Award winning piece. Keik Hernandez is from 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:44.880 Puerto Rico and Andy Paie has this from Cuba. Those 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:53.680 are the nine countries represented by this year's World Series players. Impressive, truly. 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:58.040 It is a global sport, Matt with a great global reach, 0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:01.560 and we're all sharing it together. Either tonight on a 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:04.760 five seventy l A sports may Stephen Nelson not grab 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:08.840 Rick Monday's shoulder too hard because the laws are different 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:10.760 for assault on the elderly. 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:11.400 In Canada. 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:14.760 In a good way or a bad way. 0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:16.520 They're just different. 0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:18.120 Like can you rough up an old dude if he's 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:20.720 giving you some lip and get away with but then. 0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:21.760 You have to outrun a mounting? 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:24.000 And then if you can outrun the mounting on horseback 0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:25.280 and they're free, if you get. 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:32.319 Across the man and give me some lip, what's it 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:32.800 all about? 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:33.199 Holzer? 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:37.120 I love it in Canada. I can really rough up 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:37.680 the elderly. 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:40.959 And remember Chris Boerman told us all about the Canadian 0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:44.240 aspirin that has codine in it. 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:46.079 That's the good stuff. 0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:49.040 Yes, yeah, they're all looped up. You got a headache 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:53.000 in Canada. You're going straight to heaven. All right, It 0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:56.880 is time for the number of the days, top. 0:08:56.840 --> 0:09:01.800 Number of the day, allady to go number four, four pets, 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:08.319 four games. Chauncey Billups and Terry Rogier be damned, we're 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:10.160 gonna continue with our picks. Coming off at three and 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:12.280 one week, and you bet your sweet teas. 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:15.160 I mean, Matt, I don't think anybody would be surprised 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:17.080 if you were targeted by the FEDS and they've been 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:18.160 watching you for years. 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:20.120 I think they would. I think they'd be like, he's 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:22.520 terrible at this. 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:28.959 My wife just goes to show you don't have to 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:30.839 be a great gambler to get in trouble here. 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:33.880 I had a three and one week last week, and 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:36.920 I'm gonna ride the hot end of the Patriots. I'm 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:39.400 gonna lay six and a half to the Browns. Browns 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:41.120 zero and eight against the spread in their last eight 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:42.760 road games. They got a little pep in their step 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:44.960 after Hammer and the Dolphins, to the point that Tua 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:48.080 in his pressor was talking about how tall their defensive 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:51.000 line was and how tall his offensive line was, and 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:52.079 how short he is. 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:53.480 He's gotta stop talking. 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:57.280 Yeah he's getting a little I don't want to say loopy. 0:09:57.080 --> 0:10:00.560 But that's that's I think where we all go right, like, yeah, 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:04.600 it is. This is not good. The Patriots are a rhythm, 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:06.440 winners of four in a row, yes, three of them 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:08.760 were against Tennessee, New Orleans and Carolina. This will be 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:12.880 the best defense they faced all season. Drake may not 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:16.000 good against the elite unit that Pittsburgh brought, but the 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:19.400 Patriots defenses come on. Looks like a Mike Rabel coach 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:21.640 team right now, allowing the fifth US points per game 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:24.840 at nineteen per and again back to May, he's rolling 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:28.199 seventy five percent completion rates, first in the NFL, is 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:30.839 eight point six yards per attempt, third in the NFL twelve, 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:34.200 roll and roll and rolling, rolling to just two picks, 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:37.080 second fewest behind Jalen Hurt single interception in his one 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:40.079 hundred sixteen point four quarterback rating is the best when 0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:42.160 you consider only Lamar Jackson is ahead him, and he's 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:43.720 only played in four games, so I'll lay a six 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:48.599 and a half and go Patriot by a touchdown. Not 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:53.120 buying the Texans defense superb offense garbage they screwed me 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:54.440 to it would have had a four and er week. 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:56.640 The offense held there under the bargain, doing very little 0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:59.240 in Seattle two field goals and a late garbage time TD, 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:02.840 but the defense uncharacteristically allowed twenty seven to Sam Darnold 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:06.200 and the Seahawks. Kyle Shanahan comes to town, He's getting 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:08.800 a point and a half. The Texans, probably without Nico 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:12.120 Collins and concussion protocol, Christian Kirk with a hammy, and 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:14.880 the forty nine ers are healthy enough. Christian McCaffrey has 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:18.880 been an absolute force fantasy players. No, you're always nervous 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:20.120 when you got one of the top picks and you 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:23.000 take Christian McCaffrey. He has had twenty plus fantasy points 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:24.080 in every single one of his games. 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:26.880 Sol Honer sult me. I'm not a fantasy guy. Come on, 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:28.640 I can give a different perspective up here. 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:32.280 That's not fair, Ryan, Listen, you're not a fantasy player 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:34.280 like I am. You might have played the game, but 0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:37.560 I play fantasy for Kyle Shannan. Does not matter if 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:39.400 it's Mac Jones or Brock Purty. They lead the league 0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:41.520 in passing yards right now, two seventy one point three 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:43.199 per game. All they got to do is win point. Actually, 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:44.480 they don't even have to win by a point. They 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:46.520 just have to lose by less than two. And we're good. 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:50.560 Defense bottles up Bijeon and the Falcons last week, so 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:52.240 I think they don't have too much trouble with c J. 0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:55.720 Stroud and an offensive coordinator that's already on the chopping 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:58.080 block after seven games. Give me the one and a half. 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:01.920 I'll take the forty nine ers, and I'm gonna take 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:05.040 the Cowboys. They're getting three and a half in Denver. 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:09.120 Not buying the Broncos last week wasn't a fluke. It 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:12.560 was a goddamn football miracle. Three touchdowns and a two 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:15.720 point conversion in the fourth quarter and then a missed 0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:18.800 extra point by the Giants that opened the door for 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:21.880 a win against New York. They were down twenty six 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:24.320 to eight with ten minutes left in that game. Game 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:28.040 before that, bo Nicks was awful against the Jets. I 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:31.280 mean awful, but justin Fields was worse. Nine completions. 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:33.360 You're attacking Sean Payton team. 0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:37.640 I am, and the Broncos still won thirteen to eleven 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:40.800 week before Phillies up seventeen to three in the fourth 0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:44.360 quarter steps on their own d three three and outs 0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:48.160 thanks to a holding, an illegal formation, and an illegal 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:52.000 shift on plays that garnered first downs to open the 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:54.840 door for the Broncos. The Cowboys the best offense in football. 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:57.120 Dat should be getting MVP talk around what he's doing. 0:12:57.559 --> 0:12:59.440 I'm sure he is if you listen to Colin Coward 0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:03.520 or something. Thirteen touchdowns, zero picks in his last four Ceedee, 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:06.959 Lamb is back. George Pickens and his weird posture came 0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:11.200 alive when Lamb was out. Their defense stinks, and the 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:14.320 Broncos defense is pretty good. But I'll take Dak to 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:18.920 outduel Sean Payton and his extension Bo Nicks. Even if 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:21.319 Denver wins the game, I'm gonna say it's gonna be 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:24.520 like their previous three wins by the skin of their teeth. 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:29.640 So I'll take the three and a half points. And finally, 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:31.440 I'm gonna roll the dice again. Pe I have not 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:35.720 hidden over or an under, nor in Big Mama's fallen 0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:41.000 angel lose big. Taking the over fourteen and a half 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:43.400 is scary delay just because of garbage time. But the 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:46.440 Colts hammered Tennessee in Nashville earlier this season forty one 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:47.360 to twenty. 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:51.400 And colleague radial Jeremiah said, is the best team in football. 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:55.439 They look pretty freaking good. They beat the Raiders by 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:59.800 thirty four, the Chargers by fourteen. So what do I expect, Well, 0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:01.679 they only beat the Cardinals by four and probably should 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:03.840 have lost that game. I'm gonna expect a lot of points. 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:08.560 So instead of laying two touchdowns and a hook, I'm 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:10.840 just gonna go over. I'm gonna try it again. All 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:13.200 I needed from the Raiders was two field goals and 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:18.280 they gave me one. But I'm gonna go forty seven 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:20.640 and a half over. I'm gonna try it again. I 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:23.000 didn't get it on the under on Monday Night. They'll 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.040 probably get forty on their own. They're running away with 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:27.080 most of the awards if the season ended today, Coach 0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:29.520 of the Year, Comeback Player of the Year, Offensive Player 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:31.080 of the Year, Rookie of the Year, and the number 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:34.480 one seed in the AFC. Over forty seven and a half, 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:38.840 there Colts against Tennessee and those and. 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:42.160 Owner of the Year, the lady that stands on the 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:45.880 sideline with a hatset and the the big clipboard like 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:46.880 she's keeping score. 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:51.800 Carle, Carly, I believe ersay Gordon carl Er say that's 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:56.080 Joseph Gordon Levitt, carl ers say, Wilson sounds right. It's 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:59.240 working man. I know she's not wearing any Colts gear. 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:04.360 She's outfits that probably slot somewhere between six and ten grand, 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:10.040 like a Chanelle pouch and paper clip holder and a 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:13.520 Gucci pen. But hey, whatever man, whatever works, Carly. 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:15.720 The owners make a lot of money in the NFL. 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:18.040 And it's time for Ronnie Fascio with the World Series 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:19.240 fanfare Song of the Day. 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:22.320 This is the song of the day. 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:28.040 Ah Yes, indeed, Baseball Theme is our song of the 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:32.800 Day from the great American jazz pianist and composer Vince Giraldi, 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:40.040 because today is the theme and Baseball is back, and 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:43.400 the World Series is taking place in Toronto on this 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:46.600 frog Man Friday, as the Petros and Money shows on 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:50.600 a two hour flex alert and the Fall Classic begins 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:55.000 this afternoon at five o'clock, but not before our good 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:58.320 friend Tim Cats will get you all lathered up for 0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:02.400 Game one with the special World Series edition of your 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:06.120 Morongo Casino Dodgers on Deck program that begins at four o'clock. 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:12.560 Thank you, Ronnie, and we will be right back back 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:19.840 back with David Vasse live from Rogers Center in Toronto. 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:24.800 Ready to go with the Dodgers or Game one. 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:26.840 Of the World Series. 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:32.120 Get ready to rumble with that weird looking bird, the 0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:34.200 Blue Jay. 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:44.800 We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with 0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:47.520 you this summer.

Who's 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:05.000 more excited than David Vasse? Nobody was a great show yesterday, 0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:07.919 There's no doubt about it. On a Dodger talk with 0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:11.880 Kershaw and going toe to toe with the Springer, Danger 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:17.440 and Schurezer. Great stuff. You can podcast it. But we're 0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:21.000 on to today and David Vass from Sports down LA 0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:23.119 and of course MLB Network. 0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:26.880 But right here am five seventy LA. Sports is great. Reporter, Dave. 0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:28.240 How's it going out there? 0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:31.760 It's going great. I'm glad they have a roof here 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:34.840 at Rogers Center because the temps outside are in the 0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:38.880 forties today here in Toronto. But yeah, very exciting day 0:18:38.920 --> 0:18:42.600 here in the city. Everybody in Toronto, very excited that 0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:45.840 they have the World Series backing Canada for the first 0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:50.040 time in thirty two years. And a very exciting day 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:52.920 for Blake Snell, a day that he has wanted as 0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:55.080 the day that he signed since the day he signed 0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:58.679 with the Dodgers. He has an opportunity to again set 0:18:58.720 --> 0:19:01.280 the tone for a playoff series and the biggest one 0:19:01.920 --> 0:19:04.800 of this season for him and the Dodgers. 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:08.639 Dave obviously a very sensitive situation. But what is the 0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:10.160 latest with Alex Vassia. 0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:15.280 Well, we don't have any clarification on what him and 0:19:15.320 --> 0:19:18.480 his wife are going through. I'm not going to speculate 0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:21.240 on that. I'll wait for them to, you know, if 0:19:21.240 --> 0:19:24.520 they ever decide to announce whatever they're dealing with. But 0:19:24.600 --> 0:19:28.200 it's significant for him to miss the World Series. I mean, 0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:31.800 this is what he has put his body, his mind 0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:34.640 through all season long to be in this spot. He's 0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:38.480 been such a big part of the Dodgers' bullpen since 0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:42.119 he arrived in twenty twenty one, and especially on the 0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:44.400 way to the World Series last year and so far 0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:48.320 in this postseason. If we're just talking strictly baseball. There 0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:51.400 is nobody the Dodgers could have added to this playoff 0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:56.080 roster that could replace what Alex Vessia means. To Dave Roberts, 0:19:56.080 --> 0:19:59.399 he in some way is his silver bullet. Whenever you know, 0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:02.080 it's a right lefty and there's a traffic jam and 0:20:02.359 --> 0:20:05.080 he needs to bail one of his guys out, He's 0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:08.800 gone to Alex Vesia, and unfortunately he doesn't have that 0:20:08.920 --> 0:20:12.280 bullet in this World Series. So we'll see how he 0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:14.919 navigates that. Maybe guys are going to be extended a 0:20:14.920 --> 0:20:18.879 little bit more. Maybe Roki Sasaki needs to get six 0:20:18.960 --> 0:20:21.439 outs or four outs instead of just three outs in 0:20:21.480 --> 0:20:22.480 this World Series. 0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:25.520 Do you feel better about the bullpen after those last 0:20:25.600 --> 0:20:28.399 couple games, Dave? Where Dryer got out there, where Bonda 0:20:28.440 --> 0:20:31.280 got out there, We saw Sasaki close out the World 0:20:31.359 --> 0:20:33.679 Series compared to where it was before. I guess, like, 0:20:33.760 --> 0:20:34.879 you know, I don't know if you want to go 0:20:34.960 --> 0:20:37.640 one to ten kind of where is your confidence going 0:20:37.680 --> 0:20:39.040 into this series with that group? 0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:44.959 Yeah, it's still a little uneasy because they've had their 0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:47.480 struggles at times, but yeah, they did pitch really well 0:20:47.520 --> 0:20:50.760 in Game four. Bonda and Dryer are going to be 0:20:50.800 --> 0:20:54.640 counted on a lot in this World Series in key spots, 0:20:54.840 --> 0:20:57.280 and Bonda has done it last year and that's the 0:20:57.320 --> 0:21:00.480 reason why he's been counted on in big spots so 0:21:00.560 --> 0:21:04.160 far in this postseason, and so is Dryer. Blake Trenon's 0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:06.639 going to have to pitch big in this World Series 0:21:06.640 --> 0:21:09.000 as well. He's going to have to pitch the best 0:21:09.040 --> 0:21:13.040 of his season in this World Series. And you know, 0:21:13.680 --> 0:21:16.879 it's the same questions and same formula in the World 0:21:16.920 --> 0:21:19.960 Series as it was in the previous rounds. The Dodgers 0:21:20.000 --> 0:21:23.600 need at least six innings from their starters, and they 0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:26.480 need to be able to score some runs early to 0:21:26.560 --> 0:21:29.280 give themselves a little bit of a cushion to get 0:21:29.280 --> 0:21:31.840 the final nine outs. And I kind of feel like 0:21:31.920 --> 0:21:35.359 in this World Series it's a better matchup for the 0:21:35.400 --> 0:21:39.280 Dodgers offensively than what they have seen all postseason long. 0:21:39.359 --> 0:21:42.199 A lot of right handed starters, and the Dodgers have 0:21:42.240 --> 0:21:44.879 a lot of lefties that can crush these type of 0:21:44.920 --> 0:21:46.120 right handed pitchers. 0:21:46.440 --> 0:21:47.640 Well, see what happens. 0:21:47.640 --> 0:21:50.960 It's David Massey on The Peterson Mundy Show, brought to 0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:55.000 you by Strauss. Dave Otani took VP again. What is 0:21:55.040 --> 0:21:56.320 the significance of that. 0:21:57.960 --> 0:22:00.880 Yeah, I guess he's sticking with what's working because when 0:22:00.920 --> 0:22:03.600 he took com batting practice the night before Game four 0:22:03.600 --> 0:22:06.840 at Dodger Stadium, he had the most historic night in 0:22:06.880 --> 0:22:10.480 baseball history. So he decided to keep it going again. 0:22:10.880 --> 0:22:13.800 And we'll see how it works out for him. In 0:22:13.880 --> 0:22:16.040 Game one of the World Series, he'll be the first 0:22:16.280 --> 0:22:21.440 batter of this World Series leading off. And I mean 0:22:21.600 --> 0:22:24.119 the balls that he was hitting last night here at 0:22:24.200 --> 0:22:28.160 Rogers Center, it felt like they landed in Ottawa, that's 0:22:28.200 --> 0:22:31.000 how far he was hitting them, upper tank, upper tank. 0:22:32.200 --> 0:22:35.600 I've never seen anybody hit a baseball that far. We've 0:22:35.640 --> 0:22:38.720 always heard about like guys like Jose Canseco and Mark 0:22:38.800 --> 0:22:41.800 McGuire hitting the ball off the window of the hotel 0:22:41.840 --> 0:22:44.720 and straightaway center. But this guy was hitting them into 0:22:44.760 --> 0:22:49.080 the gaps right below the highest level of seats at 0:22:49.160 --> 0:22:52.760 Rogers Center, down the right field line. So I wouldn't 0:22:52.800 --> 0:22:55.080
